A new day has awakened. and l-‘irenze, fresh-washed after y‘lerday’s rain, smelting through all her streets of lilies, laughs up, Wisteria-hung. to a lleckless sky. lf poor Amelia bad but deferred her treat for twenty-lotu- hours, what a \'allon'ibrosa \vould she and her eompai‘iions have carried home in their memories! Amelian treat! “I shall not forget Amelia's treat in a hurry l" 3nrgoyne says to himself, as h: sits apj'ielitcless over his solitary l'u-eakfast. “I had better go and tell her the re:-:ult of it.” As he. makes this reflection, he rises with some alacrity. and leaving his scarcely tasted coffee and his not-at-all- lasted omclette walks out of the suite. a manger. llis motive for so early a visit to the Anglo-Amcricain is less an exces- sive eagerness to proclaim his piece of news than the thought that. by so doing he will. at least for a few hours, escape the necessity of being in his young friend‘s company. As to where that young friend at present is, \vl'iether, after having wandered about the town all night, he is now sleeping late, or whe- ther he is already off to [ii-xrsceuic poor Mrs. be it-larcl‘iant for that maternal blessing which she has so little. inclina- tion to give, .lim is ignorant. All he knows is that such another dose of Byng’s erotic eloquence as he had to swallow last night,- will leave him (Bur- goyne) either a murderer or a suicide. Owing to his arrival at. the Angloâ€" Amerlcain so much sooner than usual, he finds himself coming in for the cere- mony of Sybilla‘s installation for the day in the drawing-room. There always a little pomp of fussy bustle about this rite.

The ritc is going forward. but the high priest is absent. l‘hat ministranl, upon whose arm the sufferer is word to lean for the most lieavily;'slic upon whom devolves the whole responsibility of ar- ranging the three cushions behind the long, limp back; the property covering the languid feet; the nice :utrninislering of the reviving cordial drops that are to repair the fatigue of the trans-it from bedroom to sil.l.ing-roon‘iâ€"â€"lhat most imâ€" portant and unfailing minislrant is no- where to be seen. i\'o artist wishes his picture to, be viewed in an inchoate. un- finished stage, nor is Sybilla at all anxious to have the public admitted to the sight of that eminent work of art herself until she is stretched in faint, moribund, graceful completeness on her day-bed. At the becoming point, where she is sitting sideways on her sofa, be- for‘, her wasted limbsâ€"Burgoyne is one of those heretics who have never be- lieved that they are wastedâ€"mayo been carefully lifted into their final posture of extension upon the Austrian blanket. It is, of all moments, the one at which interruption is least welcome; nor is the intruder at all surprised at being greeted by the invalid with a more than subacid accent. “My dear Jim, already! Why you be- come more matinale every day f you are the early bird indeed! You do not"â€" wilh an annoyed laughâ€"“give us poor worms a chance of being teforehand Willi you.” “I am very sorry if I am too soon,” re- plies he, his eyes wandering away from the frclful features before him in search of others upon which he knows he shall find written no complaint of premature- nessâ€"“but I came toâ€"â€"- Where’s Amelia?" “You may well ask,” replies Sybitla, with a sort of hysterical laugh. “it is pretty evident that she is not here! My dear Cis, would you mind remembering that my head is not made of mahogany“! You gave it such a hang with that cushion. I am very sorry to trouble you.’ The heaviest load a sick person has to bear is the feeling that she is such a bur- den to those around her; and certainly, my dear, you do not help me to forget it." “Where is she ‘2” repeats Burgoyne hastily, both because he wants to know, and because he is anxious to strangle in its infancy one of those ignoble family bickerings, to assist at many of which has been the privilege or penalty of his state of intimacy. “She is not well," replies Cecilia short- ly, her rosy face roster than usual. either with the joy of inmnncnt battle or with the exertion of swaddling, under protest, the invalid’s now elevated legs. “Not \velll Amelia not well," echoes he. in a tone of incredulity. During all the years of their acquain- tance. not once has he heard his patient sweetheart complain of ache or pain. Manlike, he has therefore concluded that. she can never have felt either. “It is very thoughtless of her." says Cecilia, with a not altogether amiable she. is in bed.” W ” _...... c a laugh. and giving a final irritated slap l0 Sybilla‘s coverlet -â€"â€"- “considering how much illness we already have in the house; ha! hat but it true. all the same. she is not well, not at all well; “In bed I" ‘ “She must have. caught. a chill yester- day on that disgusting excursion; driv- ing home. that, long distance in wet shoes and stockings." “But 1 thought, I hoped thatâ€"«l asked her to change them.” “She had them dried in a sort of way; but. I could see when she put. them on again that they were really wringing Wet still. I told her so. but she only answered that even if they were, what matter? she never caught. cold. You know that Amelia never thinks that. any- thing matters that concerns herself.” This Would be an even handsomcr tri- bute to Amelia if an it if it did not suggest a secondary intention. of adminâ€" istering a back-hamler to some one else. “In the case, of my children," says Mr. Wilson, making his voice heard for the first time from the window, where he is discontentedly peering up and down the sheets of a journal through his spec- tacles, “there. Seems to be no mean pos- sible between senseless rashness and prejmstcrous selfâ€"indulgence.” Mr. \N’ilson likes his eldest. daughter. lie is uneasy and upset, and rather angry at her imlisposition. and this is his way of showing his paternal lender- nuts. “in bed I” The human animal is the most adap- tive of created beings; but. even it re.- quircs some little time to adjust itself to entering new conditions of existence. “Amelia,” continues Mr. Wilson, fan- ning the. flame of his ire with the bellows of his own rl'ietorie, “is the one among you whom I credit with the p<_)s:vtession of a. head upon her shoulders. and now here. she. is wantonly laying herself up t” “You, talk as if she did it. on purpose, father,” says Cecilia with an indignant laughâ€"“as if she enjoyed. it; I do not think that any one, even Sybilla"â€"with a resentful side glance at the sofaâ€"- “could enjoy having her teeth chattering with cold, her head as heavy as lead. and her knees knocking together under her.“ “Good heavens l" cries Jim, his be- wildered surprise swallowed up in genu- ine. alarm; “you do not mean to sav that she as bad as that ‘3" " Sybille laughs. and even in the midst of his real anxiety, Burgoyne has time in" the reflection that the. ‘v’ilsou familv seem this morning to have so (tonne. le mot to show in how many different styles it is possible to be mirry without the least tinge of genuine mirth in any. “My dear Jim, have not you known Cis long enough not to take her an pied de let lcltre‘! Do not you know of old what a magnificent colorist she is ‘?â€"â€"a perfect 'l'intorctl Of course Ame ia is not quite the thing, poor dearâ€"she has no one but herself to blame for that lâ€"but equally of course, to a colossally healthy person such as she, any little ailment appears a mountain." ' This speech is uttered with the accent of such entire Conviction that it ought to carry reassurance into the heart of the person to whom it is addressed. Sybilla really and honestly disbelievcs in the reality of any claims but her own to Sincere sickness. But Jim unreasonably neither is nor feigns to be reassured. ‘You have had advice for her? You have sent for Dr. Coldstream?" he asks rapidly of the two sound members of the family, turning his back unceremonious- ly upon the invalid. “l was going to send for him at once," answers Cecilia, her own latent anxiety quicketh by the evident alarm of her inlerlocutor, “but Sybilla said it was needless, as in any case he was coming to see. her this afternoon.” “I think he wishes to change my medi- cine,” puts in Sybille. in a piano voice, that shows an evident desire to assert fur threatened position of prime and only genuine in Mid, a sort of “beware- of imitations" tone; “he is not quite satisfied with the effect of the last, I think; it. has not brought up the pulse and quickcncd the appetite in the way he hoped. l thought that he might run up and look at Amelia at the end of his visit t) inc." “And it possible,” inquires Jim. with some heat, “that you are going to let half a day go by without- doing anything for her? I suppose you have not exagger- aled, have you ‘2” turning with an earnest appeal in his eyes to Cecilia ; “but. in any case I am very sure that nothing short of being really and gravely ill watild have kept her in bedâ€"sue who is always wait- ing hand and foot upon us all, Whom we all allow to spend her life in hewing wood and drawing water for us.” “Send for Dr. Coldstream at once " says Mr. Wilson irritably; “at oncc,.’1 tell you; he is so very seldom out of the house that I have often thought of sug- gesting to him to take a room here; and new, on the only occasion on which he is really needed. he is not at. hand." “If you will write the note,” says Jim. :1 shade relieved at having at last sac; ceeded in rousing Amelia‘s relations to prompt action, and feeling a feverish de- sire to be doing something, “I will take it at. once; it, will be the quickest way: i may catch him before he goes out and bring him back with me." “Do you really think it. is necessary?" asks Sybilla, as Jim hustlcs Cecilia to her writing-table. and stands nervously fid- geting beside her as she writes; “do you think if it, is only a conunon cold, as I suspect. that it is quite fair to worry :1 man who is so run off his legs already? [to will probably laugh in your face; still, if you are so set upon it, it is per- haps more satisfactory." “You need not go into detailsâ€"just a lineâ€"make haste l" cries Jim, hanging tiresomely over Cecilia, rather impeding her than the reverse by his impatience, and leaving entirely unnoticed Sybilla‘s observation, which indeed has been ut- tered more to preserve her own self- respcct. than with much hope present wrongâ€"headed slate of mind of, her family any members will pay muchl heed to it. In five minutes more, Jim, with Cecil- ia‘s note. in his pocket, is being borne, rapidly in a liacre through the sweet. gay l streets. But, drive as rapidly as he may, i he. is not quick enough to intercept the. popular English doctor, who, although, as; his servant tantalizingly informs Jim, tr; almost always at home at. that) hour, has, on this occasion, been sent) for to an urgent case of sudden illness out of Florence, at the village of l’ere- tola. Jim has to content himself with the assurance that immediately on his re- turn the note will be given him; and with this unsatisfactory intelligence Mr. Burgoyne reappears at the Anglo-Amery cain. Ile finds the three persons whom he had left n'uch as he had quilted them ~uneasy, cross, and unemployed. “it is the fault of that. odious expedi- tion yesterday." says Cecilia, barking hack to her old cry. “Why we set out at all, I can't imagine; on such a day, it was n‘iadness, and " “ll is not much use thinking of that now." interrupts Pairgoync impatiently, and wincing at. these. philipplcs against his poor bride's miserable treat as if they had been directed against herself. “Well, it is an ill-wind that. blows no- body good,” pursues the young lady. “I suppose that two of us enjoyed it enough to make up for the \vl'etcbedncss of the other four." ' ller large prominent. eyes are fixed upon Jim as she speaks with a sort of knowingncss overlying their former lugubrious expression. “Do you mean Mr. Byng and Miss Le :\.larchanl‘.’” inquires he, proi’iouncing bcth heroes with a labored distinctness, while his voice sounds to himself loud and wooden. “You are perfectly right in your conjecture; no doubt they enjoyed hemsclvcs. llyng wished me to tell you llizit they are engaged to be married.” ft the essence of a good piece of news is to surprise. Jim on certainly not flatter himself that his comes under. that head. ' “it did not require a conjurcr to pro- phesy that," is Ct‘CllIil,’.fi comment, “1 never saw two peome who trouble-d themselves less: to disguise their feet- ings.

I always forget." “ “I never can help thinking that she has knows it. If ever her name is men- tioned he always begins to look wise, as iflhcre were something that he was longing to tell one about her; it is con- tinually on the tip of his tongueâ€"some day it will tumble over the tip.” , “I do not think that there is any use in my staying all this while l" cries Jim, jumping up. “Dr. Coldstrcam cannot be here at. soonest for another hour; and I do not think that we are, any of us, very good company for each’ other to- day, so I will look in again later."

A Scheme to Fit Them for Return ta “ ‘tivil Life. The new scheme of training soldiers jdurmg their services with the colors in iord-er to fit them fer return to civil life has now been embodied in a circu~ far addressed by the British War Office ito the. various military commands. The icn-cular directs the attention of the gen- ;eral officers commanding to the neces- sity of arousing the interest of the men in their future pmspecls, and to take ,steps to secure t-‘chnical instruction for )lhcm in the most. suitable trades and ' occupations. In the report in question the follow- ing "trades" were considered as gener- ally sullable: .Shorthand and typewrit ing, correspondence and bookkeeping. carpentering. shoeing and blacksmith's work, plate-laying and trenching, rail- way signallinft. Saddlery, slaughtering sheep and cattle, telegraphy, electrical lwiriug, farm work and ploughing. driv- ingand care of horses and harness, motoring and driving motor vehicles. It is suggested that. conn'nitt-c-cs (,t ofliccrs be appointed to lake the mat ter in hand, and that preference in the training should be given. to the men who are in the last two years of color service. A suggestive paragraph adds: “The training should not be confined to men who have borne genrl characters, but, on the contiary. it should be made known gnecrally that the course is open (as far as possible) to all men. whatever character they have lxirne." As to the cost of the technical instruc lion, it is addt'd that, while the. (lovcru mcnt may make some contribution to wards lh: initial outlay, it is the inten- tion that the men themselves shall bear a portion of the expenses. Simi ar ex- periments have been made at. more than one naval station. They have h'td no financial aid from the Government, but, so far. have met with considerable suc- cess, the cast to the men ranging from Cd. to is per week. except for motoring, where the. charge was is (3:1 pcr wee-k. -â€"-\{4 Ether was first used in surgical opera; tions in 1811-6.
