Jasper Greene dismissed the driver
when be reached the wharf after crossing the Ottawa at ths Fonr Corners and
looked round for Daonst to carry his
baggage up to Labelle's as in days of
yore. Bat old Daoust was dead and
therefore could not come.
Millette put the heavy trunk on a
truck sleigh and began to trot along the
wooden wharf. Then, when Millette
paused for breath, Greene pushed the
old man aside and took hold of the truck.
"Say, Millette, I'll wheel this up for 50
cents In you," he said.
Millette ran panting alongside. " Ah-h,
se droll monsieur. It will provide for se
christening."
Greene stopped short. "What, another!" he said in pretended amazement.
"How many?" he asked briefly.
♦twenty-seven," rejoined Millette,
with ill dissembled pride.
Greene stopped again and carefully
counted out 27 cents. Here's a cent each
for your ohildren, Millette. Dont stand
.till any longer or you'll get frostbitten.
I dare not run the risk of having to provide for 2? orphans,"
Millette took the money with profuse
thanks and hurried off, leaving Greene
to go on to Labelle's hotel with the huge
trnck sleigh. By the time Jasper reached
the postoffice a procession gradually
formed on the sidewalk to welcome-him
back from Montreal. When Lily Labelle
_aw him, she came out and promptly
gave the children a holiday for the rest
of the day. Then she Joined him at the
head of the procession. When they
reached the veranda, tbe children gave
three cheers for Jasper and called for a
speech.
He waited for the orowd to disperse
before he approached Lily, who stood
leaning against the veranda, an amused
look in her dark eyes.
"Aro yoa glad to see me?" he asked.
"Oome in to dinner," she said. "I'll
answer yonr questions sums of -them—
afterward."
Mrs. Labelle greeted him with a kiss
on both cheeks, while bar husband bowed with grave politeness.
Lily seated herself at the upper table.
Jasper at onoe took possession of Lily
and held hia prise against all comers,
especially tbe cashier ofthe Four Corners
bank. The latter waa not easily disconcerted, bat prepared to demolish Jasper.
Miller, the cashier, asked her to go for
a sleigh ride that afternoon.
"So sorry," drawled Jasper. "Miss
Labelle has beea engaged to me for tt
sleigh ride for a year.
The cashier, without waiting for a reply, went angrily oot.
Uly raised bar eyes from bar plate.
"Wby are yoa a week before yoar time,
Jasperr she asked.
"Thaf s the reason," aaid Jasper, indicating with a fragment of mince pie on
his fork the retreating form of the cashier. "If I'm only allowed one sleigh
ride a year, I don't see why tbat fellow
should get ahead of me and have three
a weak."
"But your work, Jasper?"
"Oh, McQuire's looking after that for
me. I explained to him that it was rather important to clear up matters here,
and so I came."
Lily had not expected her coquetry to
become known. "It is so dull," she aaid
tn extenuation.
Jasper commenced another mince pie.
"Don't be afraid of ita being dull
while I'm here," he said, with sublime
self confidence. "Yon promised me one
sleigh ride a year for seven years if I
wanted it, uid I guess H%_ take this
year's today."
Lily pouted. Jasper smiled and rumpled his yellow hair.
••You'd better own np," he said, with
unabated cheerfulness. "How soon can
you be ready?"
Lily was cowed. "Oh, in half an hour,''
and ran away to get her things on.
When Lily came down arrayed in her
most becoming fnrs, Jasper smiled approvingly. "Yon only want some flowers to be perfect," be said.
Lily gave a little ory. "Ah, flowers!
Bnt they are impossible."
"Not at all," said Jasper, taking a box
from his pocket. "Nothing impossible
if yoa want lt badly enough."
Lily opened the box and gave another
cry.   "Orange blossoms!" she aaid.
"Yes," answered Jasper. "From Florida. People there stick the ends in a potato to keep them fresh. Capital dodge,
lent itf'
He took ont the orange blossoms, threw
away the potato and pinned them to her
jacket.
'Wow we're ready to start.   Stop a
moment!" and he drew her back behind
the curtain as the cashier drove past on
his way to the schoolhouse.
Uly began to laugh. "It's very wicked
of you, Jasper."
"That will teach him to go sleighing
with my sweetheart," said Jasper calm-
. 4dly protested: "You've no right to
say that, Jasper. I only promised you a
sleighride once a year for seven years,
and then tf I liked yon well enough-
then perhaps I might marry too."
jasper was drawing on his sealskin
gloves. "That's all very well," be said,
"but we haven't the time ta waste which
those old Biblical people bad. Jn seven
vears' time I expect to be in the cabinet"
Uly followed him to the door only to
recoil in dismay. "That?" was all she
said.
"He's not handsome to look at," said
Jasper drotly. "Bather three-cornered
and lopsided. Still, I dont suppose tbat
cashier fellow oaa overtake even a venerable ruin like this."
"jt be doea," flashed Lily, "I'll change
sleighe."
"Well, that's fair," gently asserted
Jasper, "In you go. There isn't much
fuss and feathers abont the old sleigh,
but tt means business all the same."
Lily was furious at being treated like
a child. Besides, she had determined to
teach Jasper a lesson.
"Bather like Deaoon Piatt's sermons.
They always hang fire at the start," said
Jasper.
"Now, we'll go to Hawkesbury by the
river track. Tbat fellow can see us coming. Ah, I .thought so. He'll be down
here in a minnte."
Lily looked rather frightened as the
chestnut came along at a furious pace.
It was evident that hia driver resented
being made a fool of and that there
wonld be a scene as soon aa be oonld get
his horse alongside Jasper's funereal
quadruped. Bnt no sooner did that dejected animal touch the ice than he became a different looking horse altogether.
His head went up and his tail out at the
ring of the chestnut's hoofs on the smooth
ioe which connected tbe river with the
shore. Then Jasper, leaning back, wait-
ad. until tbe chestnut was within 20
yards and suddenly loosed the reins.
"Wbat, w-what"— said Lily. "He's
running away, Jasperr
"Yea, he's doing his level beat," said
Jasper as the bank aakUiud to spin by.
"If tiie chestnut catches us, you can have
his master."
Jasper kept the black's head straight.
That was all he could do with the unmanageable beast. "You aea, Lil," he
explained, "you've been fooling one of
OB to the top of yonr bent. Now, you'll
loat take the chances of war. If he col-
Ian us, I shall bave to give fat."
"I waat," said LOy stoutly, beginniug
to realise the situation and bow Jasper
had awakened to life under the influence
of jealousy. "Nothing shall make me
m-m-marry hia). I only drove with him
because it was so dull down here. That
was all."
"Chestnut's ooming np a bit," said
Jasper cheerily, after another mile.
"Hope Baalbec will hold out."
Uly gased anxiously at tke animated
"ruin" te the shafts. The chestnut was
gaining. Then aaa looked at the black
horse. "C-e-e-couldnt jsua whip himV
she asked.
"I could." said Jasper, "but it's%i*-A
ly fair, fie isn't tbe one that shodW . -
whipped for thia."
Lily turned pale. "You're very cruel.
Jasper, but I deserve it all. Nothing
shall make me marry btak- I'd rather
go to the bottom of tbe river with you."
As tbey neared Hawkesbury the chestnut steadily gained. Jasper had succeeded in palling the old black back into his
gait and began to whistle. Suddenly he
turned pale.   .
"How far's that fellow behind, Lil?"
he asked.
"Forty yards," said LU ia an agony.
Jasper spoke quite lightly. "Lil," he
said, "did yoa mean you'd rather go to
the bottom of the river with me than let
that fellow catch up?"
"Yes," said Lil,* without hesitation.
"What do yoa mean, Jasper?"
"This," said Jasper. "I forgot the
spring thaw. Three hundred yards
ahead of us the river's split right across.
Shall I pull up?"
Uly stood up in the sleigh and looked
round. She gave a little shudder and
laid her hand on Jasper's arm.
"Go on, Jasper," she said. "Til risk
tt."
Jasper looked down for a moment
into her white face. 'TU pull ap tf you
wish, LU.   'TwUl be too late directly." _
"No, Jasper, I deserve it. Go on, and
—and if—-if it's tobe goodby"— She
kissed him,
"Hold tight," said Jasper, beginning
to pull steadily on the old black.
Lil held tight to the side of the sleigh
te an agony of grief. Then he lifted the
black to tha leap, gave one cruel slash
witb the whip, there was a crash of
breaking ice as the sleigh struck on the
other side, a stagger from tbe black. A
convulsive pull and they ware over and
80 yards beyond the widening chasm,
Witb the frightened cashier pulling up
on its brink. When LUy recovered consciousness, aba. found herself te the
manse parlors at Hawkesbury.
"Are yon all right, LB?" asked Jasper
cheerily.

"I don't think so," ba said. "I wired
down to Hr. Watson yesterday to expect
us this afternoon. Now, Mrs. Watson,
she's all ready."
An hour biter the funereal black
crawled lazily back. Half way they met
the cashier, hia chestnut nearly foundered and scarce able to stand.
"Thank God!'' ba cried aa they came
in sight.   "I thought yon were mad."
"N-no," aaid Jasper, touching up the
old blaok. "N-no. I waa just giving my
wife a sleigh drive down to"——

"Yes." said Jasper, again stimulating

her friends to induce her to give up this
strange idea she persisted te it. and
when she died a short time ago the
order was actually carried oat by a local
undertaker.—London Tit-Bits.

Practical Philanthropy.
An excellent steward of tbis world's
goods is Augustus Hemenway, a retired
farmer of Canton, Mass. He invited all
the public school teachers of that town,
28 te number, to take a 10 days' trip to
the World's fair at his expense.
This is practical philanthropy of a
kind that warms the heart and increases
confidence te the goodness of human
nature. It is an easy matter to advise
every one to visit tbe exposition, bat
there are thousands of people anxious to
foUow the advice wbo are confronted
with the perplexing aad discouraging
problem of ways and means. Underpaid
schoolteachers, straggling clergymen,
men and women to wbom tbe expenditure of #100 for aa outing means serious
sacrifices for the remainder of the year,
may be found in all parts of tbe conntry, longing to go to Chicago, bat restrained by financial considerations.
They are oot suffering or destitute; they
simply caa not afford to indulge in tbe
luxury of a trip to the fair. To tbis
class, intelligent and appreciative, a
friend Uke Mr. Hemenway is a friend
indeed.—Rochester Democrat.
"Who caa teU what ■ Baby thinks."
Not very long since a rioh Boston*
woman went to a well-known charitable institution to find a obild fbr
adoption. She was fond of children, and
having none of ber own determined to
i a ke some tiny orphan into ber heart and
home and rear it witb every advantage
i hat money oouid procure. Her quest
was a difficult one, aB babies though
numerous, were not all Unt fancy
painted when properly investigated, tat
at leet fortune favored her for a beautiful, healthy, baby boy was shown to her
by tbe matron of one of the best "tames''
in tbe country. The intent completely
charmed this would be mother. Physically be waa sweetness sta goodness
combined, and so, after all tto necessary
steps were taken tto I it tie waif was conveyed to a bouse of luxury. But his
heart was broken.
He wonld not laok at tbe lady, who
tried in yain to comfort and amuse bim.
Tears rained from his great blue orbs,
wreams and bowls distorted bis cherubic
month whenever sbe approached bim.
1 n short to scorned tbe kindness of every
member of tto family and dismayed the
poor lady by this frenzied exhibition of
his distress. After two daya' struggle
the baby was returned to ibe "home"
aa unconquerable and a hopeless case.
And now cbange fast of tbe story.
Another woman, tat in ordinary circumstances, also desired to adopt a child,
aod this refractory bit of mortal ity was
shown to her. To the astonishment ei
all concerned, tbe baby received ber advances with evident content, and half an
bour later be departed for an adopted
home ter the second time, bat wowing
and smiling like a little Trojan, the new
mother considering sbe bad secured a
prize, much flattered by the preference
tbat bad been shown her by the younger.

When Mr. Hudson was te Patagonia,
he fell te with a gambler, wbo told him
that always after the first few rounds of
the game he knew some of the cards as
they were dealt. He recognized them
by a difference so slight that another
man could not detect tt even when it was
pointed ont to bim.
Mr. Hudson is an ornithologist, and
he says that this same pretematnraUy
sharp eyed man was greatly surprised
when to was told that half a dozen kinds
of sparrows were feeding and singing
about the bouse. He had never seen any
difference in them, he said. In size, color,
shape and actions they were all alike,
and they all sang and twittered alike, so
far as he had ever noticed.—Youth's

rushed into the Academy of Music tore
the oiher night while the Smithville
Brass Band was practicing and asked to
aee the leader, lie said tbat when tte

to hear Ite tend the engine pulling tto
train suddenly became unmanageable
and stopped dead still, 1 istened a moment,
gave a shott and unearthly sbtiek, reversed itself and took tte back traok for
Macon. As soon as it got out of hearing
of. tbe band it stopped, and a flagman
was sent ahead to ask tto toys to cease
playing until they could get it tbrough
town. Now, any engine that won't pass
throngh the city while our brass band la
playing to a freak of tbe first water and
should be sidetracked and left for the
rust to devour. For sweet, heavenly
music give us brass bands and bullfrogs.''
