I heard you were ill this morning.’ ‘ I never was ill in my life.’ ‘ ‘Vell,Leslie there told us you were ill.’ There was :1 general litter round the the table. I saw how it Muster Juck,huving himselfheen ‘cZu-[us 131100710,” had been makingr an amusing storylzibout me: and transferring to me (with the common weakness of the overtaken) his own transgressions. At another time I would have laughed, but not so tonight. I fixed Jack with a. stern eye. ‘You said I was ill; Leslie, did you, Why ?’ Poor Jack looked very Ted and un» happy, and said, ‘Well, you know you were very queer last night.’ ~n-. It was late when I reached the campâ€" that is, from a mess-gomg point of View; and as I entered my hut the last bugle for that festive meal was soundingâ€"that toesiu of the soul to how many worthy fellows who carry their souls in that part of the body where the Dutch theorist placed the living and thinking principle of all mankind. To-night it wasffor me no toesin of the Soul. Eat dinner to-nightl â€"impossible. The thought was almost nauseating. I would go to meals, though. Delightful as my thoughts weré, i would go to the mess that I might enjoy them the more by contrastafterwards. Having dressed with all speed,.I tenderly placed the jessamine sprigs in Walter; and’finding no buttouhole 111 my open red' jacket wherein to bestow the geranium, I cut a place for it, inserted my treasure, and thus decorated, repaff‘ed’t‘o the mess-room. Dinner was pretty Well advanced when I entered ; but instanlly there was a. lull in the conversation, and certain indiea~ tions in the faces of the less sophisticated told me at once that I had myself been the immediate subject of conversation. ‘Ah! here you are, Bruce,7 said the senior Major. ‘\Ve were just saying, what has become of our model of puncâ€" tuality"? I hope’ {with a grin) ‘you’re better 3’ ‘Better Major I’ saill I, sitting down; ‘ What do you mczm ?’ ./ l k ‘ What do you mean by queer, 511‘? I enquired. in a dangerous voice. r . r, ‘ Why, Donald, don’t snap my nose off. You know you were uncommonly crusty last night, and that’s peculiar with you, you know ; for no one ever saw you out of temper before ’â€"-the truekler. ‘ And then when I went to your hut after parade this forenoon you were still in bed, and that’s peculiar with you, you know; and then When old ‘Pilot.’ the Major's dog, came quietly in to say ‘good morning,’ you threw a candlestick at the old beggar, and that’s peculiar with you; and then you swore at me when I said ‘shaine,’ and that’sâ€"'well, that’s not common with you; so when I Went away I said, and I never doubted, ‘This poor‘ dear Donald is ill, you know,’ and I told the Major andâ€"and others, you know.’ DOUBLES AND QUITS: A COMEDY OF ERRORSâ€"~PART II “in”. wet and that’s peculiar with you; and then , you swore at me when I said ‘shame,’ and that’sâ€"mwell, that’s not eommonr with you; so when I Went away I said, and I never doubted, ‘This poor‘ dear Donald is ill, you know,’ and l told the: Major andâ€"and others, you know.’ A great shout of laughter rang: downi the table, giving fresh revelations of Jack’s antecedent narrative. Ijoined in it, but grudgingly; for I felt that I did not like these liberties. There was a coarseness about them I had not noticed ‘Don't you know the language of'i flowers ?’ l ‘ Language of flowers ‘. I should think not. Stufil why ?’ ‘Beeause you know the geranium, if'i given by a lady to a fellow (which in‘ Bruce’s case is, of course, absurd), eon» veys much the same idea as he wished to express about you when he. spoke of the thistles.’ l prieked up my ears». ‘I don‘t understand you,’ said the Major. on previous occasions. There was a coarseness about the whole thing to night. The Major’s whiskers, I noticed, looked exceptionally coarse, the thumbs of the mess-waiters grasping the dishes they offered were eminently unsatisfactosy, and the doctor’s method of feeding himâ€" self simply revolting. The conversation, too, sounded so stale. \Vho the diekens, who cared to know, did 7L.)t know that the odds against Encephale had gone from sevens to eights? and yet- Brittlcs and Tornkinson repeated the statement ;six times each before the joint had been disposed of, reiterating on each several occasion, ‘ By Jupiter Jingo ! I wouldn't be in Lord Welsher’s shoes ; ‘ and why Now is seen the kindly power Ot' April sun and April shower; Now the blade begins to shoot From the weakened warmed root. Oh, how tender, yet how strong, Is every little lightgreen tongue, That, rustling in the rustling breeze, Mzrlceth chorus with the trees, With birds and water. as they sing That sweet as ever comes the Spring 1 See. in soft gross intersect, The primrose and the violet, The violet dark, the primrose bright, But clinging close as day and night.

The waterfall in changing flashes, Now gold now silver downward (lashes Till further on the stream anew Runs on, a vein of brightest blue. The air is filled with myriad notes, Sent from a thousand little throats. Above the general chirp is strong The blackird’s and the thrush's song.

I had heard of love at first sight; I had heard of it only as a more violent develop- ment or an inibecility which could never personally affect me. If I had speculated on it at all, it had been in a scofliing and sceptical spirit; and IIOWâ€"vâ€"WCll, new faith came, because the existence of such a phenomenon was proved to deinon~ stration in myself. No; I accepted it as a derottee accepts a mystery ~inexplicv ble, unfathomable, but above all things, true. I had never been similarily affectâ€" ed, but was that strange?
