With swift emhrace the fliilowe swelled To u-cet him, leaping tsice and thrice In thnnder ere they lid him forth, King of a world of floating toe.

" Diiikliughourue I Don't you nn.l. r-atuuil?" Tomm7 Apt* crieil ont to the poitei iu a voice loud diuugh to he heard all over EaatoD. " D-jrUinghoorne—Sir Charles N'matie's place j are' vim deaf ?" "Yes, sir; M sir," answered the pot-ter. " I'll have it put all right, air ; only I thought you said ItoltenlKirough." And ho ran oil'to get tho baggage rela-belled. "Confouml llotteulioiough |" grumbled Tommy Apes, with au aDV elation of anger, an be si-rauibled into a llrstclaai conipait-uient. As a matter of foot, the young subaltern, instead of being annoyed, was delighted by the porter's hlnnder.for it bad given him an opportunity of letting those •bout him know that he tTM bound for a place no less fualiioi.ulile lli.m the country house of the gnat buukeraud distinguished politician, Sir Charles N'oodie. "Now there's Lady Noodle for instance. She keeps the bulk of her jewels at her town honse, but some of them are always at Darklingbournc, even when she herself is not there. 8he told me so herself." And Tommy laid back in hU seat with a consequential air. He felt that he was deeply impressing the stranger. "Dayon think that's win) ?" asked the gentleman. "If I were in her position, I certainly should not keep inch valuables in a lone country-house. Why, It seems to me almost like holding oat an incentive to bnrglary." " Ah, bnt precautions can be taken against burglary," said Tommy. " Well, of course they can," replied the stranger, with a dubious shake of the head, " but I should not rely on Ibem. No precautions, to my mind,can be sufficient. " Oh, yes they can," said Tommy, very positively. " For instance, Sir Charles Nomiie says that he defies a mouse to enter Durklingbournc at night without his knowledge." " What precautions has betaken then ?" asked the stranger. "Well, he has had electric-bells put to every door aud window in the house. These are all duly set at ten o'clock each night, arid »ll r that not a door or shutter can lie moved without an alarm Uing given." "A very sensible device,"' said the stranger approvingly, "aud one which I certainly would adopt if I were so fortunate as to own a country-seat." So far the second stranger had taken no part in the conversation. He had, however, been listening" to it with some interest. Now at last lie spoke. " I remember," he said, milling slightly nt the recollection, "I remember ouce wheu I was stopping at a country-house, an amusing practical joke being played by a clever young fellow who was stopping there too. The house wss got up jast as yoa say Sir Charles Noodie'e is—every wiodow and door was secured by alarm bells. Well,one night just before bedtime this youug fellow started a conversation about burglaries. All the men were loud in protesting what they should do if the alarm sounded— tDeTj ''I dash up stairs lino ihedark, or rush out on the lawu, or do something else very brave and reckless. Just in the middle of their boasting two or three alarm bell* went off, and yoa never saw such a panic Not n soul of them shoartd a sign of doing anything except shivering with fear, until the young fellow, bursting iuto a loud laugh, explained how it was all a joke. He had bribed the page boy U) set off the two bells in his room at eleven o'clock precisely. ' Uy George !" cried Tommy roaring with laughter, "that's what I call a rare good joke—doused good ! 'Ton my word, I should like to try it on to night." " If I were you, I shouldn't, said the first speaker, who seemed to be a very timid man. " Why V" asked Tommy. " It ouuld do no harm." " Well," said the gentleman, hesitating ; " I don't know so much snout that—(till it would hardly he fair to the ladies, would it, to give tin iu such u fright?" ' But there aie not any ladies at Dark-linglionrne juat now," replied Tommy. It's a niau's party—half a doaen of nadown for a week's shooting. Lady Noodie'e in town." The Orel stranger thought for a moment. and lb: u shook bis head. "I suppose," he said, " I'm too old ami nervous now to appreciate practical joktsj such as that. I presume however that to a young fellow like you they're very amnsing, but I must say that I don't like them." "Well," said the secsnd stranger, "I don't kDow much about the right and the wrong of the affair, but I do know that the young fellow I spoke of gained a great deal of attrfos by his trick. It was talked of among his friends and acquaintances for months after." " 1 suppose, though,'' said the first stranger, "that the men he made ridiculous resented it?" " He didn't take th.it much to heart, I expect,'' teplied the second stranger. " Neither should I," pot in Tommy, "in fact, I should rather like to make myself disagreeable to one or two of the men who are to be at Daiklingbourne. I'd like awfully to show them up." Here the conversation ceased,but Tommy If they showed the white feather iw T. iiiiny firmly believed they would, how deliglitlul It would be. As for Mr. Jeremiah Haatdl ' M P. ,late Conservative agent for Dolb-hire, aid I. id de Cellar, thee'.iniv-ul Deer, and fie two other nonentities who formed the rat of the company- well, all that could be said was that Tommy apprehend.d no evil and anticipa'cd considerable amuse-ment from giving Ibem a bit of a frigh'. Dinner was served a little after eight, and it was not finished until considerably after ten. Darklingbonrne wits famous lor iu dinners, and this one was fully up to thegeueial reputation. When it wss dsV poatd of, everylsody felt too comfortable to have any inclination to do anything ex-cept, perhaps, go to bed. The hill aid room even was deserted, and all the guests assembled in the library, where they rend and talked and smoked, and some of the elder ones sucred. Sir Charles was a loot-ent host who, unlike most hosts, heln v.d that whit male guests enjoy moat is to be allowed to enjoy themselves As be felt that it was now time to begin operations, Tommy Apes. »ho had been chatting a great deal all tLe evening, now directed his talk to burglaiios. Iu lone country houses this is always a fascinating topic, and so before many minutes Ton nil, for the first time that evening, bad ten-.ie.1 audience. He told SHiO oi two very exciting burglar etoiics. Iu all hie tales a gang of aimed rufli-.us attackul . lone country-house, und, WoM they were opposed, tbey sbot wildly about and left the place a regular field of carnage. Ti.cn he paused and others took up the conversa-tion. " for my part," said Bit Usuries Nooilie, "I have always maiutaioed that the houaeholder has usually li ins. ll to b'nine for any burglary. With proper precautions burglaries are simply impossible. It is not necessary to nave a small garriaou in your house to keep robbers out : what is uiu-a aary for a robber to enter your bouse without creating an alarm. Noise, it may h . breskes no bones ; but there's nothing like it for frightening burglars. That's uiy view, and so there isn't a door or window In this boose that can be openeil after ten o'clock without sounding an electrin hell." "A viry wise precaution," said Mr Min.br. "Haw, well," drawled that distingu sh-ed warrior, Captain Itiinimir, "I—nawr— think its rather ovenloing it, don't yon know. 1—haw—would prefer to let them come in and give them n warm rec. iition." " That's my opinion, Usi," echoed the gallant Major Prodmore. " It looks a bii cowardly to take such precautions—at least to a military man." " If there were an alarm, what should you do ?" demanded Tommy Apes of the last speaker. "Well, haw—I—haw—should uish up stairs and are who the doo-e it was," said the gnllant Major. "I think that I should run into law grounds snd cut off the burglars retreat," j •aid thesoldier-like Captaiu Hammer. "If you went upstairs should you take , a light with yon or would you go iu the dark?" Sir Churls asked M Jo* PfodtnOrv). "In tbe daik, decidedly,'' iinsw.red tie Caa'ain. "You see the light gives lb. in the means of taking aim at you." " Wouldn't going up in the dark to I- ok for an aimed burglar be rather a ere. py business?" suggested Mr. Marnier. "Pshaw," replied the Captain ; it would be nothing." "No, not stall," said the Major. "If" we soldiers have ucver anything to f. OS worse than that, we should have au rasy i time of iu I should go up without s min-or— haw—without " Suddenly an electric bell went off with a whirr ! In a moment another, and appar-ently a third joined in the din ! As the bells continued souuding, the guests and their hosts ga/id into each other's faces in speechless hotror. All I'lolinorr ti.mlling r.ckle.s'y o»er one another in tin ir blind lasfa down the stair-case. The two warriors had just safely reseb. il ih.-library, and wire there explaining to tlie bonified guests that Tommy had been murder. ,1, an! that tbey UsMMelvM bad barrel] e . pi.I lb* ...me lale.wheu Tommy himself entered the room laughing ! Ks.ry i ga/.d at him for a moment in silmt .•Una/, in. lit Then the truth flashed upou Ibem. The whole thing wus a joke. Tommy round with delight. The oth ers dul not seem so well pleasad. Lord de Cellar, Mr. Manderand the two iiiiueuli-lies were visably annoyed. So was Sir Chillies Noodle at first. Hut it was the two miliiaiy meu who wire tbe most furi-ous. They w.-ie so angry, but at the same time lookul anil felt so small that soon the rest of the company forgot thiir own an-noyance in aniiisi merit at that of the gal-lant lieiiiiiiei and the soldo r'y I'redmore, and ihe i veiling i nd.d by everybody siding with Tommy, and joining in hs laughter at the expense of the two officers.

" There's no n.e iu keeping it going ; I'm getting ihornughly tired of it." '•JJut, Sir Charles, I—really, I'm doosed is that you should make it impossible sorry," said Tomn-y, " hit*, truly, I don't know what you mean.'' Sir Chsiles 1 *.k«d very steadily and sieinly. and Iheri auiii, " Mr. Apes, if yi u trifle with me any further, I shall lose my temper.

" But, Sr Cliailes, I uever abst.acted any diamonds. I naval thought of such a thing. 1 swear to you that the idea ne\er entered my mm.I 1 swear it didu't." Sir Cbailes looked keenly into the young man's face, and he saw that he wa speak-ing eailies'ly aud truthfully. Tommy Apes might be a very silly youth—Sir Charles i bought he was ; but he was not a thief. The banker felt that be knew noth ing of toe disapiieurauce of the diamonds, aud he wus perplexed. He stood iu silence relbctiug for a moment, while Tommy collected bis wits. "Do you mean to say," Tommy then a-k.d, " that any of Iaidy Noodie'e diamonds are missing!" "Vis; about (4,000 north," replied Sir Charles laconically. "O-oil heavms!' exclaimed Tommy. "Who coald have done it? Not Sam I'll eclay -he's as honest as steel.

Uow weary the toe-river Ktew
ID tboee dark monlba of wiulcr night,
And poised npon bis lufty cliff,
Longod, longed for other worlds and n'ih»-
What nee iu all hii mighty mold,
With none to wonder and admire
The light and color that he held,
The moonstone gleam, 'he opal fire !
ID vain the mother clacier ahowed
Tale altars an.rn.iiuK with old rites
The Sashes of eternal star-.
The lances of the northern lights ;
A hand of snnbeam. camo that way,
Tempted, and touched, and lored him 03,—
Wild dreams of mis and *( tithem .ales,—
A wrench, a plunge, and he was gone.
With swift emhrace the fliilowe swelled
To u-cet him, leaping tsice and thrice
In thnnder ere they lid him forth,
King of a world of floating toe.
H .»n, down, by vicaleas curreuta drawn,
His hoge mass underneath the sea,
Bis lofty tops ei.skyed, he moved
I.Ike some vast fleet iu majesty,—'
o t fioa lb* dark, myvMrioM Noith,

Tni while bear s'unib.ri.l in tis oaves;
The nitil earns plsjtd about his tips ;
I) wn, down he bore- to summer seas
And orashed his wsy through sinking ships.
And drowning sallora saw on baft
Those icy walla where surges tom-d,
Descended ont of biaeen, a pile
Of Jeweled splendor fired in frost.
Lspis sod torqnols pierced with light
To sapphire, emerald hollows paled
To beryl, topis burning clear
Iu flames of chrysolite, he sailed,
Down, down to equatorial »ea.
Sii'l slowly drifting- »b, bow sweet
Tbe.e soft caresses of the tide
Pal In the depths about bis fiel.
How tenderly Ibis morning Rleara
Baluttd all bis shining spires.
That far away tho voyager saw
Tipped wi b the b'a* ■ r-f rnl'V Ores !

The .tresses of the noontide heat.
Till brooks bmet forth far up his atdsM,
Dis olviog in a fervent hi at.
New plumed with streaming smoke be went,
Now hut a clowd of amethyst.
The ghost or glory, weird and while,
Now wrai pi d within a world of mist,
The sweet aud treacherous currents still
Around his weakening bases whirled,
The great throat of the hurricane
Tremendooa blasts against him bnrlid.
Into bine air be crept : and now
Those sanbearua srmed with javelins
swarmed,
A hostile legion, fierce and faio,
And all his awful beauty slot mid.
Ah, for fiat dim dark home OHM mor.,
Thus, lances of the northern lights !
Then his tops bent him to their fall,
The wide seas rose and Ciowni d 1 is heights.
