woald hive believed him capable it was fortunate for all coocerded that iheiadjhad expressed her feelings in a load soliloquy auder the impression that he was oat for her daughters words while deeply woanding his affectionate sensitive heart had filled him with a grieved con cern for her own comfort and he had in stantly decided to reieiiher at once of his unwelcome presence 04 course it would never have occurred to him to place the contrary andwcmmlike ootistracuoo apon these word which her mother had not besilalod to do and his faintheartedness would have lost all however all was weh now

thing to do for she was conscious- all the time that flej wu staring at her in the most unblmhinn and on usual manner mr wagners face expressed triumph excitement and happiness while in his large pals blue eyes there wu a perfect well of mischief twinkling sparkling and babbling over in the most ridiculous boy ish manner before the meal had commenced mn brown rose to get a pot of marmalade she said of which mr wagner vtu very loud stay minima ill get it alice said springing ap in a great harry i know where it is no love theres none in the pantry her mother replied and insisted upon going in search of the delicacy herself and if she had gone to dandee for it alice ihoaght she coald hardly have sta jed much longer mr wagner opened an ill nitrated paper while he waited and alice made nervous by the rustling looked towards it inadver tently horror what should she see first thing bat a picture of the aristocratic and celebrated white elephant so soon to glad den the eyes of the western world she lank back in her seat ready to sympathize with the lady of shalott when she cried the c arse has come apon me rather a finelooking animal though he does seem to have weak eyes said mr wagner easily tapping the picture wilh his fincer dont yoa thiuk so miss alice yes oh jes she answered faintly tbeu showing a little fight as she realized that be was using revenge she con tinned in an offhand conversational tone they tram them to worship the saa dont ibeyt and she arose to place her utile terracotta teapot on the fender to keep it warm thoagh one might think that close prox imity lo her burning cheeks might have had the dexired effect mr wagner left his seat with sadden swiftness and waylaid her r i know of one who learned lo worship the daughter he cried taking her right into bis great long arms and kissing the sweet moulfa with its pleading deprecating fimilc forgive the little joke darling but it makes me feel like a boy again to think that yoa can care for me

and trousseau and all suchfol-de- rols may come afterwards fourteen years ago alice dear i left my home in stuttgart to travel la america and i was snppoaed id hare been one of the victims pf a dis astrous shipwreck from which i was hap pily absent my father died almost im mediately aflerward and my younger brother newly married took possession in ail good faith of my title and lands i did not care to dispossess him for i knew that he and his bride dearly loved the ccfaf of rank and fortone while i at that time placed no value upon them wishing only to pursue my travels uadisturbed i made money iu this good land of yoars by a for- lanate scientific discovery aod have lived in comfort u yoa know ever since i learn today that my poor brother has been dead for some weeks leaving no heir and i propose resuming my rights little one i am the baron you wagner very rich and influential in germany aod he smiled playfully at her wondering face at this moment mrs brown came in wilh the pleasing intelligence that after all aha wu quite out of marmalade so mr wagner would have to excuse her this the gentleman sternly refused to do unless she would give him u a forfeit the band of ber only daughter in marriage then they told their wonderful tidings mrs brown ever after blessed the day when her white elephant entered her house and made her pretty little girl a baroness a bkave uttle dutch boy the country of holland in europe is almost surrounded by the tea to be sure there is nothing strange iotbat for all islands era entirely surrounded by the tea bat holland is ft low country t and if the people had not built high banks to keep the water off whenever there wu a storm or a very high tide it woud wuh right over the whole land and sweep away all the hoaies and drown fhe people the hoi- land folks built the banks many jeara ago they are called dykes they are novonly high but so thick tbroaghthat there is room for a broad street oa top trees are planted along these streets and it is a fleuant and airy pi ace to walk men are chosen whose basiness it it to watch these dykes and see that the water which is always trying to break through never does it is necessary to be very watchful for if there comes a break ever so small it mast be stopped at oooe or it would grow bigger and bigger and it woald take buf a few boars to bring on a dreadful flood and even the smallest dutch chod knows tho danger of being careless about the dykes one evening a little boy in the city of haarlem was on his woy borne he walked fast for it wu getting late it wu a quiet part of the city and there was no one but himself on the street every thing wu qaict so quiet thai presently he heard a boft gargling sound like thai of running water ah hans knew in a moment what that meant it meant that somewhere the sea had made a little road through the dykes he stopped and look ed carefally and eagerly andvery soon he found it a lini stream that rippled and ran u thoagh it meant not the least bit of harm to auybody or any thing but hans knews better than ibat and the first thing he did wu to look abont for something to stop it he could find noth ing whatehoud he do but before he
