I ought to go to-mor- row." She trembled a little as she nestled against him. “And-«andâ€"your father. Sir Stephen Orme?" she said. "What will he say?" Stafford laughed slowly and conï¬dently. “Oh. my father? He will be delighted. He's the best of fathers. a perfect model for parents.

"I am sure that I shall like'himâ€"for loving you." “You will see." said Stafford. conï¬dent- ly. "He will be as proud as a duke about you. You won't mind if he shows it a. l‘t- tie plainly and makes a little fuss,- Ida? He'sâ€"well. he's used to making the most of a good thing when he has it~â€"i.t's the life he has led which has rather got him into the way of blowing a trumpet. you knowâ€"and he'll want a whole orchestra to announce you. But- about your father. dearest? Shall I come to-morrow and ask for his consent?" . She looked up at him with doubt and a faint trouble in her beautiful eyes, and he heard her sigh regretfully. “I am afraid." she said. in a law voice. ",Afraid?’ He looked at~ her with a smile of surprise "If anyone were to tell me that it was possible for you to be afraid. I shouldn‘t believe them." he said. “Fear and you haven‘t made acquaint- ance yet. Ida!" She shook ‘her head. , “I am so happy. so intensely happy. that I am afraid lest the gods should be jealous and snatch my happiness from me. I am afraid that if you come tomorrow. my father will say ‘No,’ willâ€"â€"" â€"“Will have me shown out." said Staf- ford. gravely. "I see. I should be sut- prised." “And-and then I should not be able to see you again." He laughed at the idea. “My dearest. it all the fat-hers in the world said ‘No.’ it wouldn’t make any dif- ference to me." he said. with that. air of masterfulness. that flash of the eye which a. woman loves in a man. ,"Do you think I should give you up. that I should be con- tent to say. ‘I'm very sorry. sir.’ and go offâ€"leave youâ€"keep away from you!" He laughed again. and she nestled a. little closer: and her smallAhand closed a little more tightly on his arm. "And you wouldn‘t- give me up. refuse to see. me even if your father withheld his consent. would you. Ida?" he asked. "No; I could not. It. is just that. I could not. Somehow I feel as if I had given you the right to myself and that nothing could alter it. nothing could take me away from you!" How was it possible for him to refrain from lifting her in his arms and kissing the sweet. soft lips which made such a confession?

But though the servants remarked the 'cliaiigo in their beloved mistress. they did not. guem at its cause; for. by chance I‘ll- ther than design. none of them had seen Ida and Stafford together. And yet they met daily. Sometimes Stafford would ride over from Brae Wood and meet. her by the river. There was a hollow there. so deep that. it hid not only themselves but the horses. and here they would sit. hand in hand. or more often with his arm round her and her small. shapely head with its soft. but roughened hair. upon his breast. Sometimes he would row across the lake and they would walk side by side along the bank. and screened by the trees in which the linnet and the thrush sang the songs which make a lover‘s lit- any: at othersâ€"and these were the sweet- C-st meetings of all. for they came in the soft and stilly night when all nature was hushed as if under the spell of the one great passionâ€"he would ride or walk over after dinner, and they would sit in thc ruined archway of the old chapel and talk of their blank past. the magic pre- sent. and the future which Wile to hold nothing but happiness. Love grows fast under such conditions. and the love of these two mortals grew to gigantic proportions. absorbing the lives of both of them. To Stafford. all the hours that were not. spent with this girl of his heart were so much dreary waste. To Idaâ€"ah. well, who shall measure the intensity of a girl's first passion? She only lived in the expectation of seeing him. in his presence and the whispered words and caresses of his love; and. in his absence. in the memory of them. For her life meant just this man who had come and taken the heart from her bo- som and enthroned his own in its place. They told each other everything. Staf- ford knew the whole of her life before they met. all the little details of the daily routine of the Hall. and her management of the farm: and she learnt- from him all that was going on at the great. splendid palace in his modesty Sir Stephen Orme had called the Villa. She liked to nestle against him and hear the small details of his life. as he liked to hear hers; and she Seemed to know all the visitors at the Villa and their peculiarities, as well as if she were personally acquainted with them. “You ought not to leave them so much. Stafford." she said. with mock re'proof. as they sat one afternoon in the hollow by the river. “Don‘t you think they no- tice your absence and wonder where you are?†"Shouldn‘t think so." he replied. “Be- sides. I don't care if they do. All my worry is that I can't come to you oftener. Every time I leave you I count up the hours that must pass before I see you again. But I expect most. if not all. of the visitors will be off presently. Most of ‘em have been there the regulation fortnight: a good many come backwards and forwards; they‘re the City men. the money men.

Heaven knows why my father wants to worry about it. I heard one of them say that he calculated to make a million and a half out of it. As if he weren't rich enough!†» "A million and a half." she said. "What a. large sum it seems. What one could do with a half, a quarter. a tenth of it!" “What would you do. dearest ?†he asked. She laughed softly. “I think that I would ï¬rst. buy you a Drcsent. And then I'd have the Hall re- painted. No, I'd get the terrace rails and the portico mended; and yet. perhaps. it would be better to have the inside of the house painted and papa-ind, You see. there are so many things I could do with it. that it's difï¬cult to choose.†“You shall do ’em all." he said. putting his arm round her. “See here, Ida, I've been thinking about ourselves »" “Do you ever think of anything else? don't.†she said. half unconsciously. â€""Aud I've made up my mind to take the bull by the hornsâ€"" “Is that meant for my father or yours?" “Both.†he replied.

It is very difï¬cult to collect anec- ;dotal matter relating to John D. iliockcfeiier. the oil king. His near relatives know his dislike for appearing in print, and his houseâ€" .hold is leak-proof. But there are many stories which show the oil magnate in a generous light. The Standard Oil Company of Ohio, the parent company, has no i i . i pension fund, but maintains a .gratuity system. which means 'about the same thing. with the ex- ;ception that no obligation is asâ€" sumed by the company as a per- ,manency. When this plan was ï¬i‘sti put in operation it was discovered that a number of old employes were not eligible for the gratuity fund. because they had already severch their connection with the concern for old age or disability. The fact coming to Joll’ll D. Rockefeller's no< tice, he gave instructions to have every such case investigated and, reported upon, with a suitable reel commendation as to the requireâ€" ments in each worthy case. James! Cole, superintendent of No. *1 works, was the ofï¬cial investigator and made the recommendations. Upon receipt of the reports, John D. gave instructions to have all these people placed upon his per-, sonal payroll, their pensions to bel paid by Mr. ‘Cole personally and without notice to anyone. That system is still maintained. Even now some men are discovered who years ago worked for Mr. Rockefel- ler, and after some service sought other employment. Whenever a. deserving case is found the man is pensigied, even though he has not been in John D.’s employ for a quarter century. Shortly afterKJohn D.

The light-l house at Terschelling, in Holland; has. been thus equipped for the laist'il three years. At this lighthouse, which stands directly in a path of. migration, multitudes of birds form< erly died every night; now the deaths do not exceed a. hundred , throughout the season of migration; Perches have recently been ï¬tted to two English lighthouses, The Case: kets, in the English Channel, and- St. Catherine’s, on the Isle of Wight; the latter of which is shown in the accompanying illustration from the, Sphere.
