I have a message from Robert-I curse him for the necessity of the mes- sage, nearly related to me though he is- for he told me to tel} you as best I could, that at eleven this morning he and Vir- ginie Vanlisle were married.\ At his operiing words, Cecil had been smiling; then, with the gravity of Gar- ner's manner, a sense of vague trouble had banished the happy light from her eyes, and the rich, delicate tinting in her cheeks slowly faded. Then a little, as- tomished, borrified cry came from her blanched lips, and faint and shivering, she hung heavily on Garner's arm look- ing so prostrated, so dispairing, so ago- nized, that his great, strong heart melted into almost womanly sympathy. **My poor little girll I would have given a year of my life rather than to have had to tell you this? Can't you look at it as I see it, and as May sees it. ashamed, and outraged, and indignant though she is, that her brother can be such a rascally coward? Try to believe that you are better off thus than the wife of such a man, my wife's brother though he be, Cecil, Cecil, dear! it hurts you so.\ For her face had blanched until it was more deathly than it ever would be in her coffin-for then the agonized, haunt. ing eyes would be closed-and her lips were blue and quivering, and her hands like twin models in marble. She had not said one word; a gasping. pitiful, wordless little wail had fluttered to her lips in a sort of dumb protest against this sharp blast of pain-in a sort of appeal for mercy against the sudden verdict that had so ruined her life-but. beyond that, she had made no moan, un- til her silent suffering startled Gamer, **You must let me take you to May- B U I L D E R, Sanoy Hint, N.

The mule was a perfect Uriah Heep of a mule. so far as humbleness was concerned -at least [that was the view I took of him. He | was saddled, and I mounted, | For a mile [or two he paced beautifully, I thought those old Monks I had read about knew what they were doing when they travel- ed on mules. I had a high respect for their judgment. Just then my mule began to show syinptoms-symptoms of what I did not know. I found out. - Dropping his head between his legs, his heels described a parabolic curve. or a diabolic curve, or some other infernal curve, in the air, and I got off and sat on the ground. I got off over his head. and I did it quick. Iam not so old but I can get off an animal of that kind as quick as a boy. Then I looked at the mule to see if he was hurt. He didn't appear to be. - Then I inquired around to see how I was. I reported an abrasion on the left hi? and a contusion on the lower end of the back. Then I thought I would pronounce a left-handed blessing on the mule, and on his fore-fathers and fore-mothers, before him, and on his children after him. But I didn't. Then I wondered if he would stand fire. If I had had a pistol I would have put the muzzle to his ear and tried him. Not that I was hostile towards him. but I was afraid somebody might take a ride on him some day and get hurt. But I had no pistol, so that benevolent and sanguinary idea was frustrated. - Then I got up and shook the dust off my feet, and brushed the sand off my trousers, as a bestimon¥ against that place. Then I led the mule carefully home, and stated my case to the liveryman. But when I said that he should offer to send for & doctor, or a Samaratan, to do me up in a rag, and pour olive oil, and cham pagne on my bruises, he laughed. And his man that he had to help him laid down on a bench and Iaughed, and I stood hold ing the mule-then I laughed. It was ridiculous; but I learned #Jlittle wisdom., Next time I ride on horse-back it will be a different kind of a beast from a bogus Jackass, D. S. J.
