Shirley was standing waiting for Guy in the great hall; and, as he went toward her, with a very forlorn look in her lustrous hazel eyes she put out two trembling little hands to meet his. Thehall was all ready for the ball, being profusely decorated with ever- greens and garlands, and rich crimson hangings, while the polished floor was simply perfect for dancing. It was a pretty and tasteful ball-room, being somewhat out of the common, for in the recesses the suits of steel armor caught and reflected back the fire and lamplight, and the grand stair- case at one end, carpeted in crimson, would make a very comfortable resting place for the tired dancers by and by. Shirley was standing before the great wood-fire that was blazing on the wide old fashioned hearth, a slender drooping figure in a black dress, and as she put out her hands to meet Guy’s, the diamonds on the little white left1 hand flashed and gleamed in the fire- ig t. ... .. . n 1 nu 1L, l-1__n._4l- A Story of Woman’s Faithfulness.

Now for the first time a. heavy foreboding of dread and terror was upon her, and she shrunk from the separation with fear and trembling. . . 1 “ Darling, let me go,” Guy whispered, as he unclasped the clinging hands. “Why, you foolish child, it isonly for a-week or two!

Shirley stood still in the lighted doorway, with Sir Hugh at her ‘side, as the dog-cart drove away; and Guy, turning as he came to the bend in the drive, waved his hand in farewell; then they both turned away and went into the hall again, Shirley shivering wfitflcfiemâ€"fihe cold sharp wind which had been admitted. “ Guy, old fellow!” he cried, warningly, and at the sound of his voice Shirley started, checked her tears, and disengaged herself fgom Guy’s clasg. herself from Guy’s clas . “ Good-bye,” she wig faintly, forcing a little smile to the trembling lips. “Guy, don’t forget me.” ~... . -v 1 “That’s my breve Shirley! No, don’t come to the door, darling; it is so rough and boisterous. Oh, you wilful lassie!” he added, smiling, as she went with him, and watched him get into the dog-cart which was to take him to the station. It was a. rough. boisterous night, as he had said, but the avenue was well lighted in anticipation of the coming festivities. “You are cold,” Sir Hugh said gently; he was still very pale, and his voice was hustgyg ' ‘ r “ Yesâ€"but I would rather be Guy driv- ing a“ ay in the cold wind and darkness thenâ€"thanâ€"the happiest men in the world,” Sir Hugh said slowly. "Ah, for- give me, Miss Ross. I will not; offend you again. That was an irrepressible little outbursts," he added, with a. smile. ” I won’t vex you by my folly any more. And now, since Guy has left you in my‘charge," he continued, “ will you not let me ask you to go and lie down-for an hour or two, so as to be rested for to-night? Guy would not like to think that he had spoiled all your pleesure.” “But Aunt Geraldine will not be pleased if I do not come down to dinner,” she said, coloring shyly, and smiling 9. little as she added, "and I don’t think Guy would be pleased if I were to let people think I was such a goose as to cry because he has left me for a. fortnight; so, Imust not, although I should like it, act upon your suggestion, Sir Hugh." “ It; is because it is my suggestion that it finds no favor in your eyes,” he said regretfully. “ Do you bear malice, Miss Ross ? No ‘2 Then give me your hand in token of forgiveness, and, as I am Guy’s friend, let; me be yours." With a. little smile she gave him her hand, and Sir Hugh bent over it and touched it with his lips. As he did so, Alice Fairholme and Ruby Cape], coming out of the oak-parlor, saw the two standing by the hall fire ; and Ruby said in surpriseâ€" “ Why. it is Shirley and Sir Hugh 1” . "Shirley putting her theory into prac- tice,” remarked Alice, with irrepressible bitterness. “ She ought tobe ashamed of herself!" she added as she passed up the broad staircase. holding her graceful heed erect, and sweeping her soft blue dress dis- dsinfully after her. “In isa. rough drive for Guy," she re- marked sorrowfully, as they stood for a. few seconds in front of the fire, side by side; and a. momentary flash of angry pain sprung into_the‘ young man’s handsome eyes. ..- .c u u n 1- And 'Ruby, as she followed, with a touch of gravity on her beautiful piquant face, was reminded of the lines of the old songâ€"1 _ It is well to be all with the old love Befere you are on with the new, and resolved to take Shirley to task for flirting before poor Guy’s back was fairly turned.“ “ It seems as if the Fates would be pro- pitious, Latreille,” said Sir Hugh Glynn to his servant, as he put. the finishing touches to his evening dress a. little later in the evening. “ Nothing could have been more a propos than Major Stuart’s de‘ parture.” . n p.- - “The game is in your own hand, Sir Hugh,” returned Latrielle luietly. “A proverb in my country says that ‘the absent are always in the wrong.” Ithink you will be able to see that Major Stuart was in the wrong to leave Miss Ross so confidingly. He must know that such abeautiful young lady will not lack ad- mixers.” ‘~’ It is a. nasty business,” Sir Hugh said rather disconsolately. “I wish Guy were not so trusting,” he said to himself, “he makes it so diflicult to deceive him.

Sir Hugh said “ And it is safe and secure ?” “ As safe and secure, Sir Hugh, as if the Archbishop of Canterbury had per- fgrmed the ceremony. Here are your gloves, 811'.” Sir Hugh took the gloves and left the room, with a grave, thoughtful, remorseful look upon his handsome faceâ€"a face which had grown haggard and pale during the last few days, and bore visible signs of un- rest, which he tried to conceal under an appearance of gayety, which now, feeling himself unseen, watched, he had dropped. Those days which had been such happy days to Shirley Ross, as she dreamed her happy love dreams and smiled into her lover’s eyes, had been days of intense agony to Sir Hugh Glynn. He, in general so careless and selfish and languid, had no re- pose night or day, no rest from the bitter- ness of his thoughts; he, who had been heartlessly selfish, and proud in a certain way of his heartlessness, who had smiled to himself at other men’s weaknessâ€"he, Hugh Glynn, loved utterly as everlover had loved, and in vain. It maddened him to think that the smiles for which he longed, the gentle words for which he hungered,the kiss for which he would almost have laid down his life, were all given to another, while he was rejected and almost scorned. At first his love had been a melange of de- sire, of admiration for Shirley’s beauty, of pride piqued by her indifference; but now he loved herâ€"not with the great, noble, unselfish love which Guy Stuart had given her, and which would have sacrificed itself unhesitatingly to her happiness, but deeply as he could love, with a passion which her indifference could not quell, but which , opposition increased a thousand-fold. It I was as much self-love as love perhaps, but i it was a strong passion, and Sir Hugh had i not power for resistance. She should be his, he swore passionately again and again in the long sleepless nights during which he paced his room in misery, by fair means or by foul ; and, since fair means failed, since she loved Guy Stuart so deeplythat nothing â€"Sir Hugh felt that to the depths of his passionate, aching, jealous heartâ€"would penilpt her from her allegiance, he would try on . But he had not yielded to temptation without a struggle; he loathed the means whereby he could steal her from Guy, he hated the man who had suggested those means, and yet, helpless against the torrent of his overwhelming passion, he was carried away so low as to think of treachery no dishonor if it would give her to him. He was thinking of those means now as he went slowly down the picture- gallery, drawing on his gloves and looking so handsome and distinguished in his faultless evening-dress; and Guy Stuart, leaning back in his corner of the railway carriage in which he was speeding towards Edinburgh, was thinking tenderly of the girl he had parted with so lately, and kindly of the friend in whose charge he had left her. “ One forgets the dress,” Sir Hugh ’began, as he bent his blue eyes on Alice for a moment in smiling admiration; but the girl turned away pgtulantly. Lady Fairholme met Sir Hugh in the hall, looking stately and magnificent in her rich velvet dress with its trimmings of old point lace; and, While they were exchanging a few words about the music and the num- ber of Waltzes on the programme, which Lady Fairholme thought was too large and Sir Hugh considered not large enough, Alice came slowly down the stairs, looking very lovely in a dress 'of palest pink, with wild roses in her curly yellow hair. Sir Hugh went forward to meet her with some empressement, but Alice, remembering the little firelit scene, the tall mum’s head bending low, and his lips touching the girl’s slight hand, passed him with a quick re- proachful glance and went toward her mother. “ What can your cousin be to me but the fiancee of my oldest friend. and» as such a. very interesting person? May I tell Lutreille to ask your maid for the flowers?” “ Delphine wants your opinion, mamma,” she said smilingly. “ She says that Worth himself never made a. prettier dress, and that you must praise her for it.” She was coming down slowly, fastening her gloves as she came, her eyes fixed on the little buttons, the long silken folds of her dress making a soft “swish” as they swept over the crimson carpet. Perhaps it was due to his having to stoop over Miss Fairholme‘s wrist that Sir Hugh's face flushed so darkly as he turned his eyes upon Shirley, his face was white as death, While it was with difficulty that he re- pressed the sudden passionate exclamation of admiration and love which rose to his lips. Alice Fairholme caught the swift gleam of longing which flashed into his blue eyes; and for a moment they both stood watching her silently, as she came. Hugh Glynn never forgot, even in the changes and misery of the future, how she looked then. It was the last time he ever saw her smiling and serene. ‘ “ It is very pretty, dear,” Lady Fair- holme allowed. “ Sir Bligh, you are a. better judge, perhaps, having seen more of Mongieut Worch’s confections than I have." She was dressed in white ; long 5 otless folds of lustrous gleaming silk fell sgraight and shimmering around her, out square around her shoulders, where they were finished ofi with some soft old lace. There was not a touch of color anywhere. save in the vivid carmine of her lips; nor had she any jewelery. Her arms were bare above her elbow, and she carried a fan of carved mother-of-pearl and satin and Brussels lace which had been Guy’s gift. Years after, Sir Hugh Glynn could have given every detail of the girl’s dress, which seemed stamped indelibly upon his recollection. Never had she looked more lovely. Regret that Guy was not present to see her in her “silk attire ” made her hazel eyes some- what wistful and sorrowful, but the story her mirror had told her made her carry her pretty head haughtin erect, and there was a little triumph brightening her beautiful sad eyes. And, as he looked upon her,Hugh Glynn’s heart beat high with passion and longing and love, and the last remnants of resistance under temptation fell away from him, and the tempter confluered. - t 4 u , , , , , , r .__A__. __)2_-A_4 End heg'dn, “ How have I offended you,” he asked her presently; “ and why are you not wear- ing my flowers? I thought you would do me so much honor.” “ You do not care whether I carry them or not," Alice said pettishly, “so long as Shh}an carries thpse you gent 113312? “, If I thought you cared,” Alice began relentingly, drepping her eyes coquettishly, andjhen fining Ehem agaju to hip facq. ‘ _ When he returned, Alice held out her hand to him to button one of her long gloves, and while he was bending over her wrist there was a. soft rustle of silk on the stairs, and the patter of tmy high- heeled shoes. “Here is Shirley,” said Alice sud- denly. “ She does not look as if she were wearing the willow! Poor Major Stuart.” But there was no time to answer. One by one, in all the bravery of their dainty ball-dresses, the guests at Feirholme Court were coming down from their rooms. From the bachelors’ wing, which could‘bereaohed by a staircase leading up from the smoking- room, the men sallied forth in their “ war- peint,” and presently the sound of wheels was heard in the avenue, and the band. concealed in a. bower of greghery, struck up, and Shirley’s first ball " Héw can you be 86 unjust ‘2” Sir Hugh asked reproachfully. “You knova care,” he said quickly, leaving her side for a. moment to give the order to Latreille. “You might He wearihg your wedding- dress, Shirley,” said Alice éareiessly; and at the heedless words the color rose, swift and scarlet, to Shirley’s face, and Sir Hugh payed to the lips. A The ball at Fairholme Court was like most other balls, especially those entertain- ments in the country where the town-bred langour has not yet pene- trated, and where balls are not such com- mon entertainments as they are in London during the season. The country people were well represented; there were plenty of pretty girls, and what is rarer still,of danc- ing men. Lady Fairholme was a charming hostess. Alice was in her element, dancing, and coquetting, and flirting, With Sir Hugh in constant attendance. Sir Gilbert moved among his guests, courteous, urbane, and a trifle pompous. Ruby Capel missed Oswald Fairholme from her gay court of admirers, and mentally inveighed against the exigence of Her Majesty’s service in general, and Oswald’s “chief” in particular, but enjoyed herself very much nevertheless. The music was excellent and the floor admirable, and altogether the ball was a success, and the new year opened right merrily at Fair- holme Court. The new year was about half-an-hour old when Sir Hugh at last was at liberty to leave the ball-room. He had been doing his duty manfully all the evening; he had danced and flirted and made himself gener- ally very agreeable, and, although he had not danced with Shirley, he had managed to be near her very constantly, and had hovered about her with a gentle care and attention for which the girl was very grate- ful. She was not enjoying herself much, poor Shirley, for, as the evening wore on, she found herself thinking of Guy and his long cold journey and her excited imagina- tion conjured up railway accidents and other troubles, until it required a constant effort to laugh, and smile, and dance, and it was a great relief to her when, profiting by a general exodus in the direction of the supper-room, she escaped from the ball- room and took refuge in the school-room, which, for the nonce, had been turned into a kind of supplementary cloak-room, where some of the gentle- men had left their plaids and overcoats. _ It was very quiet and pleasant, Shirley thought, after the heat, and glare, and noise of the ball-room. The fire had burned somewhat low, for the household were all too busy to attend to their regular duties, and Shirley sank down before it into a low American chair, and crossed her little satin- shod feet on the fender, and closed her eyes weerin as she rested her pretty head against the cushion of her chair. vBut she was not left long in solitude; the eager passionate blue eyes which had. fol- lowed her so constantly yet so furtively during the Whole evening had noticed her escape from the ball-room, and Sir Hugh had guessed Where she would take migrate.- He had an excuse for seeking her, more- over, for that evening, just as they were entering the ball-room, a servant had brought Miss Ross :1. letter which had arrived by the evening mailmnd Shirley had given it to Sir Hugh, smiling, and ask- ing him to keep it for her until she was at leisure to read it. “The postmark is Glasgow, and it is from Jack," she said lightly. “I sup- pose he is Wishing me a very happy new year, but the good wishes must wait.” So the “good wishes” had waited until now, safely esconced in Sir Hugh’s coat- pocket; but he thought that the time had come for them to be delivered. So it happened that, While Shirley lay back on her cushions thinking of Guy, the school-room door was quietly opened and Sir Hugh’s voice asked permission to enter, with a. tone of entreaty which Shirley could not but hear. She gave the permission very gently, and he came forward and stood besid her on the rug, leaning his elbow on the mantel and looking down at her with eager tender- ness and longing; but Shirley did not meet his gaze. . high is‘ pleasant to get a. little breathing-time," she said carelessly. ” I don’t think I shall care for balls very much.” He had turned away from her as she opened the letter. The sight of her sitting there in her loveliness made the remorse which he could not quite (mat away from him sting almost as keenly as Guy Stuart‘s trust had done. She was so fair and gentle, she was so com essionate for his pain, {hat he might mve had compassion on 161'. “And yet you were looking forward so eageily t9 this_ one l" _ “ It is a pity that old Jasper Stuart did not time his illness more conveniently,” he said with a. slight sneer; “ he ought to have been more considerate. Shirley, are all your thoughts for Guy and Guy only?” he added almost despairingly, thinking that, if she would give him only one thread of hope at which to grasp he would nbandon his fell purpose and trust that she might love him at last. But the great grave reproachful eyes which were lifted to his for a moment were sufiicient answer; for in them he read a. love unchangeable, unuttemble, which would be true to her life’s end. A slight cry, faint, terrified, anguish.- stricken, made him turn quickly. Shirley had risen White as death, and, trembling in every limb, was looking with fixed staring eyes at her brother’s letter. lie was hastening frqm her side, when her voiceâ€"her voice, yet so unlike Shirley’s sweet even tones in it)? broker; hoarse'nessâ€" arrested him. He went to the door, locked it, and came back to her again. She seemed dazed and bewildered as she looked at him; the hor- ror of some great tropble was upon her face, over which had stolen an ashen-gray tint, which robbed it of its brightness and beauty and startled him greatly, While her eyes looked up at him 'full of a bewildered pain_ Pitigul 30 see. 1.1-: 1,11,,,L,,.

Then there is nothing which need distress you like this," said Sir Hugh very tenderly. “Tell me what it is, my child, and let me help you.” “ Butâ€"butâ€"” “ But what?” he asked aoothingly. “Don’t let any fancied scruple prevent you, Shirley. You know that if I can do anything I shall be only too glad. Tell me, dear, what is it ?” She was lying back in the chair now, pale and exhausted, her lips quivering and the great tears still resting on her long lashes ; she looked up at him piteously and shook her head with a. weary little gesture of denial. “ Will you not tell me, Shirley? Re- member, Guy left you in my care. How can I fulfil my trust unless you confide in me?” he said softly. “ Forget all my folly, and remember only that he told you when he was leaving you, if anything Went wrong, to come to me as frankly as you would go to him; “Shirley,” he added, in earnest entreaty, “let me do what Guy would do if he were here now.” For one moment longer she hesitated â€"-the next she had put the letter, and withiib the opportunity he needed, into his ban a. There was silence in the little room as he took it from herâ€"silence broken only, as Shirley remembered afterward, by the hara patter of rain against the window-panes and the howl of the wind among the trees outside.

He carried an enormous coonskin coat on his arm, his big fur cap was pushed back from hisforehead, his coat was unbuttoned, and the perspira- tion stood in beads on his brow. He was looking anxiously at the store windows. as if in search of something that he’d got to have, and have right off. Along about Washington street he gave it up as a bad job, and tackled a shivering Chicagoan who was hidden in a fur collar, and was trying to keep from freezing to death. “ Say, stranger I” he remarked feebly, wiping his forehead with the back of 1:118 hand, “ kin ye steer me onter somethin’ coolin'â€"â€"»soda. water or sech like? I’m clean done up with the heat.” V The Chicafgoan was too much astonished to reply apd gtaredplankbf at: 37119 apea‘ker. “ What’s the matter wiih this here dum town. anyhow ‘1" continued the big man, taking 0E his cap and unbuttoning his vast ; “ all the soda. water masheens is done up in tisshoo paper, an’ durn if I kin find so much ez a drink 0’ ice water.

The most sensible and often the handsomest of women can be found occupying places of trust in Ameri- can mercantile establishments and offices. In all Havana. but one place is noticed where white women are employed. This is at a modiste’s on Calla dc Obie o; and these are a scraggy lot indeed. omen in Cuba are ladies, washerwomen or demi- monde. Shopping is done by the fair senoras or senoritas in the afternoon, and one will then certainly see beautiful women. They are neither flippant or trifl. ing in their purchases, as in some countries. No salesman would dare gossip with them, suggest for them, or chattingly enter upon discussion of their affairs. Nor do they in- form sho keepers of their own or their neighbors intentions. They seem to know just what they want and go straightway and get it. The turnoutsare very gay; thousands of women meet, mingle and pass greetings ; but there seems to be a general understanding here that a shop is not just the place in which ladies should entertain one another.â€"-â€"Albany Argus.

It is interesting to note that an attempt made in the last century to put a stop to the practice proved a disastrous failure. The edict had hardly gone forth, under the auspices of the chief bf police, when a first performance came ofl’. A gentleman who was addicted notoriously to hostile demonstraticns was “ sandwiched,” by way of precaution, between two agents of the law and soon the curtain rose. Every eye was directed toward the inveter- ate delinquent; but, to the general sur- rise, he sat still without making a sign. re long, he began to yawn, and soon the two policemen took to yawning in sym- pathy. Their neighbors unconsciously followed suit, the contagion spread, and in a short time pit, boxes and galleries were yawning as they had never yawned be- fore. Even the actors, with their gaze fixed on the public, could not resist the exâ€" ample set them, and the unlucky author had the misfortune of hearing his most telling “hits ” launched forth amid a per- fect chorus of yawns. The embargo against hissing was promptly removed, it having been found by experience that a return to the old system was infinitely preferable to the new one inaugurated by the irrepressible Chevalier de la Morliere, who made a per- fect specialty of his demonstiations against new plays at the Comedic Francaise, and had particularly distinguished himself by the uproar he created at the first appear- ance of Voltaire's “Tanorede.”â€"St. James Gazette. “That’s it, that’s it,” responded the Dakota. man, drawing himself up with conscious“pride. “ Why, in the last blizzard ’15qu so cold I didn’t have a smoke for near a. week.” “ Oh. no; but it tdok a steam grindâ€"stone four days to light a. match."â€"0hicago Tribune. “ How’s that 7” asked his heater. “ Cigar freezg while yqu were smoking ‘2” Blizzards Hard on Smokers.

Americans have made a number of im- provements on the apparatus used on the Challenger cxpeoition for deep sea. explora- tions, says the Washington btar. To send down a dredge or net to the bottom and haul it up again was the work of a whole day on the Challenger ; and then if the net did not happen to strike the bottom right it would come to the surface empty. By the use of wire cable and improved appar- atus for winding the Albatross party can make two or three hanlsa day. Alexander Agassiz devised a new beam trawl net that would never miss fire, or so constructed that on whichever side it tell it would do efiec- tive work. Such a net is lowered from the vessel into the sea. To the line is attached an apparatus that gives notice when the net reaches bottom. When this occurs more line is paid out to give full scope to the net. Along the line at regular dis- tances are attached weights that lie at the bottom. When all is ready the steamer is slowly backed until the net has been dragged a distance of a quarter of a mile or more over the bottom of the ocean. The weights along the line keep the cable down against the bottom for some distance ahead of the net, so the net is dragged lying flat on the floor of the sea. When the net is hauled up it is sure to contain some fish from the bottom. The net has a mouth or opening like the inverted cone of an eel pot, so that fish easily find their way in; but once in cannot find their way out. Occa- sionally fish brought to the surface this way will be still tremulous with life, but most of them are as dead as a fish can be, as dead as a man would be if some fisher- man on the moon cast a net to the earth and dragged him up into the airless spaces above our atmosphere. Some of these fishes are brought up from a distance of three miles. The Challenger captured specimens from a depth of 2,900 fathoms. The deep sea dredging parties of the United States Fish Commission have gotten speci- mens from a depth of 2,940 fathoms. These ‘ deep sea fish are many of them bizarre in appearance. One thing contrary to the fairy tale notions of the sea depths is that there is no great variety or brilliancy of color. This simplification of colors ‘ is attributed to the absence of sunlight. 1 The colors are generally dark brown or black or a silvery white. The oddness of the fish is in their shapes and peculiar development of their organs. There are some of them with huge heads and little bodies; others with tiny skulls, but mouths so huge that the lower jaw seems to be some with great tigerish-looking teeth ; some with immense round eyes ; others with little pin points of eyes and others with no eyes at all. All of these fish, and 450 kinds have been found and described by the scientists of the Fish Commission, have long Latin names. It may be said to the credit of the fish that they are not responsible for the names. as they were contented to go with- out names until the Fish Commission net brought them to the surface.

Afew miles out on the lake appeared a large schooner-rigged vessel, and, although there‘was no wind blowing, it went along as though every Mitch of its "canvas was being stunned to its full strength; and, what was stranger still, it; appeared to be ploughing its way through an immense field of ice. The vessel ap- peared to be deeply loaded, and was bound north. She was watched until she disap- peared around the point. The Tay Bridge, which was destroyed by the hurricane that memorable Sunday night, Dec. 28th, 1879, was rebuilt in a much stronger form and opened last June, six years after the engineer’s plans were approved. The Forth Bridge has now been building more than five years. But the two bridges are very dissimilar. The Tay Bridge, it is true, is half-a-mile longer than the Forth Bridge ; on the other hand, it is not much more than half as high, and is simply a series of piers stretching across the comparatively shallow estuary,whereas the Forth Bridge, owing to the much greater depth of the water to be spanned, presented engineering difficulties far more difficult to surmount. That these difliculâ€" ties are now in a fair way to be conquered satisfactorily is one more feather in the cap of the British engineer and his help- mate, the British constructor.

At; all druggigta, I am correct in saying that the two great arch spans of the Forth Bridge, 1,710 feet each, are beyond any span hitherto attempted. Each is 110 feet wider than the central span of the great Brooklyn Bridge, and when I point out that each will be agood hundred yards wider thanthe whole length of Charing Cross Bridge, Londoners may begin to form some idea of their magnitude. To cross a space half as wide again as the Thames at a single leap is ” no sae bad,” as the Scotch say. Two of these leaps, and two others half as long, represent the cantilever 'portion of the Forth Bridge. that catarrh will in time wear out. The theory is false.
