Ernest always remembered it, for it was on that very day that he first made the acquaintance of Florence Oeswick. He had just issued from his uncle‘s presence and was seeking Dolly, to communicate the intelligence to her, when he suddenly blundered in upon old Miss Oeswick. and with her a young lady. This young lady, to whom Miss Oeswick introduced him as her niece, at once at. treated his attention. OJ being introduced, the girl, who was about his own age, touched his outstretched palm with her slender fin. gers. throwing on him at the same moment so sharp a look lrom her brown eyes that ‘he afterward declared to Jeremy that it ‘ to mod to go right through him. She was a remarkable-looking girl. The hair, which ‘ curled proiusely over a shapely head, was, like the eyes. brown ; the complexion olive. the features small and the lips full, curving over a beautiful set of teeth. In person she was rather short, but squarely built. and at her early age her figure ' was perlee‘tly termed. Indeed, she might to all appear- ance have been muehrolder than she was. There was little 0! the typical girl about her. While he was still observing her. his uncle came into the room and was duly in- troduced by the old lady to her niece, who had, she said, come toshale her loneliness. uau, nun noun, uumu ..................... “ And how do you like Kesberwiok, Miss Florence '3" asked Mr. Osidus wish his ; usual courtly amilg. “ Yep; till my mother diedrwe lived at Brighton.

V. EYA'S PROMISE. When on leaving Cambridge Jeremy got back to Dum’s Ness. Mr. Oardue reeeived him with his usual semi-ontemptnous coldness, a mental attitude that often nearly drove theyoung fellow wild with mortifieation._ Not that Mr. Oardus really felt any contempt for him now, he had lost all that years ago when the boy had been so anxious to go and “ earn his bread," but he could never forgive him for being the son of his father, or conquer his inherent dislik rto him. On the other hand, he eer- tainly did not allow this to interfere with his treatment of the lad. If anything, in- deed. it made him more careful. What he spent upon Ernest. that sum he spent on» Jeremy, pound for pound; but there was this difference about it, the money he spent on Ernest he gave from love. and that on Jeremy from a sense of__duty. vu.v.~, ' -vw-_â€" -- to pay EeVenl visit; 7&0 college friends in town and elsqwberp.

But it is one thing to be anxious to earn your own living and quite another to do it. as many a poor wretch knows to his coat, and when Jeremy set his elow brain to consider how he should go about the task, It quite failed to supply him with any feasible idea. And yet he did not want much. Jeremy was not of an ambiti- ous temperament. I! he could earn enough to keep a cottage over his head and find himself in food and clothes and powder and shot. he would be perfectly content. In- deed, there were to be only two sine qua non’s in his ideal occupation ; it must admit ct aconeiderable amount of out-door exer- cise, and be of such a nature as would per- mit him to see plenty of Ernest. Without more or less of Ernest's company, life would not, he considered, be worthliving. For a week or more alter his arrival home these perplexing reflections simmered inoessantlyinaide Jeremy’s head. till, at length. feeling that they were getting too much for him. he determined to consult his sister, which. as she had three times his brains, he would have done well to think of before. “ And so you see, Doll,"â€"he always called her Dollâ€"he ended up, "I‘m in a regular fix. I don’t know what I’m fit for unless it’s to row a boat, or let myself out to bad shots to kill their game for them. You see, I must stick on to Ernest; I don’t feel, somehow, as though I could get along without him ; it it wasn't for that, I’d emi- grate. I should be just the chap to out down big trees in Vancouver's Island, or brawfllloeks,” he added meditatively. 4“ 't‘ a guest geeseJeremy," was his 9fluent.

And then, some- times, he wants to go out riding, especially at night. Only last week they found him putting a bridle on to the grey mate, the one that Reginald sometimes rides, you know." “‘1 When did you any that Ernest was coming back ?" she said after a pause.

Thus abjure'], Jeremy removed his large form Item the table on which he had been sitting, and, whistling to Nails (now a very ancient and prematurely wise cog), set off for a walk. He had moaned along some little way with his hands in his pockets and his eyes on the ground, reflecting. on the unpleasant late in store for him as an articled clerk, continually under the glance of Mr. Oardus’ roving eye, when suddenly he became aware that two ladies were standing on the edge of the clifi Within a dozen yards of him. He would have turned and fled, for Jeremy had a marked dislike to ladies‘ society. and a strong opinion, which, however, he never expressed, that women were the root 0! allow! ; but, think- ing that he had been seen, he feared that retreat would appear rude. In one of the young ladies, for they were young, he recognized Miss Florence Oeswick. who to a'l appearance had not changed in the least since. some years ago, she came with her aunt to call on Dorothy. There was the same brown hair, curling as profusely as ever,the same keen brown eyes and ripe lips. the same small features and resolute ex- pression of lace. fie! lquare figure had indeed developed a little. In her tight- fitting dress it looked almost handsome, and somehow its very squareness. that most women would have considered a defect, contributed to that air of power and unchanging purpose that would have made Florence Oeswiok remarkable among a hundred handsomer women. “7Well, you are to be arbioled to Regi- ” How do you do 7" said Fmrenoe, in be: sharp manner. “ You looked as though yog were [walking in your sleep.” ‘1 n 1 , ____J._ A- LLL. 773171117 Mr. Jones was for the momenta paralyzed; he could not even take ofi his hat. Before Jeremy could find a reply to this remark, the other young lady. who had been looking intently over the edge of the cliff, turned round and struck him dumb. In his limited experience he had never seen such a. beautilul woman before. She wasa head and shoulders taller than her sister, so tall indeed that only her own natural grace could save her from looking awkward. Like her sister she was a brunette, only of a much more pronounced type. Her waving hair was black, and so were her beautiful eyes and the long lashes that curled over them. The complexion was a clear olive, the lips like coral, and the teeth small and regular. Every ad- vantage that Nature can lavish on a woman she had endowed her with in abundance, including radiant health and spirits. To these charms must he added that sweet and kindly look which sometimes finds a home on the faces of good women, a soft voice, a quick intelligence, and an utter absence or conceit or sell-consciousness, and the reader will get some idea of what Eva Geswick was like in the first flash 0! her beauty. “ Wall,"said Florence, presently, " she is not Medusa. ; there is no need to: you to turn into atone.” This woke him upâ€"indeed, Florence had an ugly trick of waking people up occasion- allyâ€"and he took off his hat, which Was as usual adirty oneI and muttered some- thing inaudible. Astor Eva, she blushed, and with ready wit said that Mr. Jones was no doubt astonished at the filthy state other dress (asa matter of fact, Jeremy could not have sworn that she had one on at all. much less its condition.) “ The fact is," she went on, “ I have been lying flat on the grass and looking over the edge of the cliff.” ’ “ What at ?” asked Jeremy. “ Why, the bones.” The spot on which they were standing was part of the ancient graveyard ot Titheburgh Abbey‘I and as‘ the sea 'en- oroached year by year. multitudes of the bones of the long-dead inhabitants of Kesterwick were washed out of their quiet graves and strewed upon the beach and unequal surfaces ot_th_e clifi. "Isn‘t it dreadful?” said Eva, gazing down with aspeoiea of tasoinamon ; " just fancy coming to that I Look at that little baby's skull just by the big one. Eel-ha” 7‘ LES-Herintrodnoa my sister Eva.

About six feet below them, which was the depth at which the corpses had originally been laid, could be seen fragments of lead and rotting wood projecting from the surface or the cliff, and what was a more ghastly sight, eight inches or more of the leg-bones of a man, oil which the feet had been washed away. On a lodge in the sandy cliff, about twenty- five test from the top and sixty or so from the bottom, there lay quite a collection of human remainsot all sorts and sizes, eon- spicuous among them being the bones that had composed the feet that belonged to the projecting shanks: .m. -. 1‘ that is the mother’s. And oh. what is that buried in the sand ‘1’" As much of the object to which she pointed as was visible looked hke an old ounnon-ball,buh Jeremy soon came to a difierem oanolueion. “ It is a bit 013 lead coffin,” he said. “ Oh. I should like to get down there ana find out: what is in it. Can’t you get: down 7" Jeremy shook his head. “ I’ve done it as 9. boy,” he said, “ when I was very light: ; but: u is no good my trying now, the sand would give with me, and I should go to the bottom.” _ He was willing to do most things to oblige this lovely creature. but Jeremy was above all things practical, and did not see the u_§e ot_br_aakiug his neck for noghlng. “ Well.” she said, " you certainly are “that heavy."

When they reached the cottage where Miss Oeswick lived with her nieces. they were destined to meet with a. disappointment, for neither of the young ladies was at home. Miss Ces- wick, however, were there and received them veryAcordielly. _ “ I suppose that you have come to see my newly-imported niece,” he said; “ In fact, I am sure you have, Mr. J eremy. because you never came to call upon me in your life.

You see, my dear, between you and me, her aunt in London, with whom she was living, has got a family of daughters who have recently come out. Eva has been kept back as long as possible, but now that she is twenty it was impossible to keep her back any more. But then, on the other hand, it was felt, at least I think it was felt. that to continue to bring Eva out with her cousins would be to quite ruin their chance of settling in life, because when she was in the room. no man could be got to look at them. And so, you see, Eva has been sent down here as a penalty for being so handsome." “ Ah. my dear, I dare say you think so,” answered the old lady. “Every young woman longs to be beautiful and get the admiration of men. but are they any the happier for it? I doubt it. Very often that admiration brings endless troubles in its train, and, perhaps, in the end wrecks the happiness of the woman herself and of others who are mixed up with her.

It is a combine harvester and thresher, reaping or biudi the corn according to choice, and threshing, dressing and delivering it into sacks as it travels over the field. This machine, which is worked by steam, is the invention of Mr. Berry, a farmer of Tulare County, California, who has been working at its construction during the last six years. It is 88 feet wide and about the some in length, and it cuts a swath of 22 feet. Two engines are used in working the machine, the larger of which, of 25' horsepower. moves the harvester along and works the header-knife if required, while the smaller one, of 6 horse- power, drives the threshing machinery. As the sacks are filled they are sewn up and dropped in the field. The straw is passed on to the furnace. to be used as fuel, and the chat? is blown out on to the ground, with any surplus straw not rrquired for fuel. There is, of course, great economyin using the straw for fuel in a country where it is of no value. The only horses used are those in one team hauling water for‘ the en- gine, and another following the harvester to pick up the sacks of wheat. The men engaged in the work are the engineer, fire- man , tiersman,haader-ter:dar Ink-sewer, waterhauler and sack-hauler. w ith these seven men,it is said, fifty acres can be headed and thrashed in a day, at an outlay, apart from wear and tear, of about 40 cents per acre. 0! course, the gigantic machine can be used only on large level plains.
