said, as he drew forward the most com
fortable chair of I which his sanctum
could boast; and the young lady settled
down to listen to the untangling of mis
haps that Herman j Seville had brought
upon himself, through bis own careless
ness, and in spite of all efforts to retair
herself, Millie McKay's amusement al
his misfortune3 found tCDt in a low,
musical laugh, at which, notwithstand
ing lit was at his expense, the editoi
took no offense-
j That explanation however, did not
thalce it appear that Ethel Vinton was
anything pore than a good f r end, noi
that the lender, little note which had sc
awkwardly fallen I into Millie McKay's
uanus was aught but sheer nonsense.

untruthfulness, for he seemed to be

That it was exc-redingly gratifying to
Millie McKay to learn . that her sketch
had been accepted may be believed, and
aiso that she was desired to become a
regular contributor to! the Weekly Jour

own exertions, and from her indifferent
success in the past she had .about de
cided to relinquish authorship.
When the young authoress left Her
man Sevil'e's o ce it was with a lighter
heart than when she entered it. The
note, that she had felt as insulting, had
not been designed for her; indeed, it
had meant nothing at all, or so that
handsome ed tor had made her believe,
xind she went back to the small, third
story room, that was kitchen, parlor,
sleeping-room all in one, and commenced
another story forthwith,
i And when she had gone Herman
Seville leaned back into his chair and fell
into a reverie, the burden of which was,
that he did not much care if Ethel Vin
ton was offended, or, Mehitable Smith,
either, and because a certain article was
not available, he was sure he was not to
blame ; (was man ever known to be since
Adam's day?) and of one thing he was
certain he had secured a fine writer for
the paper.
She was a very agreeable girl, too;
she would be a p'easant acquaintance,

"And this is the end, Miss
bridge?"
The speaker was a young man of mag
nifisent physical proportions. He stood
erect before the fair-haired girl and
looked searchingly it her eyes. And as
Maud Petherbridge met his gaze un
flinchingly she felt in her inmost soul
that she had never seen a finer specimen
of athletic manhood than Alpheus bwack
hammer. -
"It is, Mr. Swackhammer," she re
plied firmly, but with a tinge of sadness
in her low, musical voice and her lovely
eyes luminous rith a tender pity.
"L'esply as it pains me to utter the
words that sever the relations between
us and dissipate the dream of happiness
in which we have indulged, it mut Le
done."
"Maud Petherbridge," exclaimed the
young man, lesolutely choking down
emotion that impeded his utterance, "it
shall be as you wish. But before I close
this ttapter in the book of my life and
go out into the cheerless, monotonous
existence that will henceforth encompass
mb like a d eary and limitless desert, I
surely have the right to ask you the rea
son why you have cast me forth from
your heart. What is it that has come
between us?"
"Do not ask me. Mr. Swackhammer,"
she said, in a voice of agonizing entreaty.
"I insist upon knowing!"
There was a deep and oppressive silence
for some moments, during which the
young lady struggled to gain her wonted
self-possession.
"Mr. Swackhammer," she said at
length, in a tone of solemn conviction
that left no doubt of' her sincerity, "I
would spare you this if I could, but it is
best, perhaps, that you should know.
Why! O, why," she broke forth wildlv.
"did you hae your hair clipped close to
your head? '
"is that all f" exclaimed the young
man, impetuously, as he took a step
nearer; "it will grow out again '
"It is not that"' she replied, as she
motioned him back with an involuntary
gc-ture and shook' her ncad with a sigh
of bitter despair. "I have never told
you that I am a student of phrenology
Yet I am. I can now read your head

In the 'northern regions the vetches

fails n it being unduly heavy, they have
not had to paw and break the crusted
snow, as was the habit of the buffalo,
and that may account for their superior

found horses' can not be used in pursuit,

perhaps investigation may show that oO')

difficult for the Indians to hunt them,
and, indeed, to find them than it was

The Times of Crimes.
The German government in a statist!
cal account recently published, deals
with the particular periods of the year
in which crimes are usually committed.
Of the ;W0,7. crimes which occurred in
1883, which is the' year taken, it is pos
sible to fix the month of occurrence in
;Ur.401 instances. The year is divided
into four seasons winter commencing
with December and running through
February: spring commencing with
I March and running through May; sum
mer commencing, with June and run
ning through August, and autumn com
mencing with rcptembcr and ruuning
through November. It is found that
winter claims 80,073, spring 3,1)77,
summer 81,-62, and autumn HJ.TO. In
this it is seen that spring is" the most
favorable season for public morality and
autumn the most unfavorable. Regard
ing the particular character of the
crimes committed, it is found that
offences against the State, religion and
public order in iwinter numbered 98
daily, 1)3 in the spring, 103 in the Bum
mer and 106 in the autumn. In this
autumn leads again; but in this class
summer far exceeds winter, as it did
also in crimos with which vio
lence and threats aga:nit officials,
etc., were connected, the number for
winter being 'Jo daily and for summer
107. Of crimes against the person 82
fell daily to winter, 10 to spring, 102 to
summer and 103 to a itumn; of crimes
against mo ality, Gv) daily to winter and
11 1 to summer; of offences taking the
character of slander, summer takes to
herself 119, while winter only 6d daily;
of assaults, winter claimed 163 and
summer 213. The.; daily number of se
rious robberies were 'J'Z in summer and
111 in winter; ot petty robberies, HI in
summer and 112 in winter; the cases of
receiving stolen goods numbered 77
daily in summer and 132 in winter, the
last holds the ratio of robberies of brdh
classes committed, and i a necessary re
sult, one depending on the i other. The
relation borne by offences against prop
erty was as follows: Summer, 101 dtily;
autumn, 102, and winter, 90. It is evi
dent from the foregoing thai tempera
ture has decidedly more effect at various
times upou one Class of criminal inclina
tion than another. Autumn leads through
nearly all the clftscs, and why this is so,
except it is in anticipation of winter
generally a hard eeaon for the poorer
classes is hard to erplain. The subject
is an exceed ngly interesting one. Tht
