Two hundred babies at Oriental parentage were displayed, and the sight was unique on this occasion. The little boys had their heads shaven, and the girls had their hair stiffened and decked with fringes of beads and paper flowers. The complete gravity and silence of this array of Celestial infants added to the queerness of the show. To Frost Currants.

THE E v-E 1‘4 123 ”G GA ZE T '1 “Whom do you think I saw driving with Gerald Morton this morning?” asked Mrs. Morris of her great friend. the doctor's wife, as the two ladies Were enjoying 5 o’clock tea and the general gossip of the parish togethe1 one afternoon. “Beatrix Harcourt ” Mrs. Maynard answered promptly. “Ah, you saw her, too, then. I must say I was astonished. It is well known that young Morton bears the character of being the fastest man in the neigh- borhood.” “I have longceased to be surprised at anything Beatrix Harcourt does,” the other lady answered significantly. “If Mr. Kenrick does not mind, I do not see why any one else should trou— ble their heads about her eccentrici- ties.” “Certainly not ” Mrs. Morris agreed. “But, really, Rose, she was laughin... and talking in the most giddy manner. and Gerald was bending toward her until his face nearly touched hers.” “And that is our future vicar’s wife! Well, I shall take cure my daughters do not see much of her.” And Mrs. mynard drew herself up with a kind of lofty indignation. as some fresh vis- itors were shown into the room. Poor Beatrix! Her numerous delin- quencies were the subject of many afi- ernoon tea gossips, and had been ever since she came to Hillchester, four years ago. She certainly was unlike other girls; for, in addition to being a “blue stocking,” an 1 having taken her degree at Oxford, she had a. most un- reasonable interest in the workiag classes—not a mere ladylike interest, which contented itself with calling at their cottages with a few words of good advice and a tract. Ah, no! she had always some plan, or “craze,” as the good people of Hillchester called it, for their benefit on hand—classes for the young girls, ambulance lec- tures, concerts, teas, what not? For the conventionalities of society she cared not at all. She never attend- ed the afternoon teas, therefore she heard no gossip. She had been known even to take the broom off the lame old crossing sweeper at the corner of the road and work away in earnest until there was a passage fit for a queen to walk over. And in spite of all, the vicar of Hill- chester had asked Beatrix Harcourt to be, his Wife. Well, as'the leaders of ominous sighs, wonders never cease! Nevertheless, it must be confessed that Rev. John Kenrick was in no very enviable frame of mind, as a week lanter he wended his way some- what slowly toward his lady love’s abode. Maynard’s drawing room had spread all over the parish, until a version of it, highly exaggerated and colored, had reached the vicar’s ears. Beatrix was leaning over the drive gate which led to her father’s house, watching for him as usual, and as he saw the glad look of welcome brighten and sweeten all her face at his ap- proach, he said to himself that his darling was as pure and sweet as the wild roses she fastened in her belt. Burt Beatrix soon discovered that something was amiss, and after the first greetings were over she asked, almost anxiously, “What is the mat- ter, John? You do not look well.” For a full minute Mr. Kenrick did not answer; instead he looked down at her as she stood with one small hand resting upon his black coat sleeve; the sunlight falling with loving touch up- on her hair, which was cut short (on- other point which met with the disfa- vor of the Hillchester matrons), and curlednaturally all. over her head like a child’s. Her lover sometimeslaugh- ingly told her that sue had a baby face still, and he was not far wrong, for her expression was singularly untrou- bled and childlike, and yet there was a depth of feeling in the honest blue eyes which rtold both of strength of character and purpose. “Trix, it is silly, perhaps, but some thing 1 have heard to-dayhas troubled me greatly.” “About me?” Trix asked gayly. “Or what fresh enormity am I accused, John?" and a sudden gravity crept in- to the sweet voice; “I thought you said you minded none of these things?” “I do not,” the vicar answered quickly; “indeed,” gently stroking the soft, yet strong looking hand, “I love you all the better for them, but—it is better to speak out. Trix, have you been driving about-With Gerald Mor- ton lately?“ The next moment Mr. Kenrick would have given much never to have asked the question, for ’ *rix turned to him quickly, a world of scorn shining in her blue eyes. I “And so, John, this means that you cannot trust me, and you choose rather to believe any idle story people In :1) tell.’ Trix.” Mr. -Kendrick said quietly, though his eyes had clouded with a deep look of pain beneath her implied rebuke, “and I promise you I will be- leve it.” But Beatrix had removed her hand. and all the sunshine had died out of, “111'. 3101 ton has driven me over to Cr stlcfields twice this Week. Is there anything else you want to ask me?” 'No, there was nothing else. Mr. Kennick felt it was almost sacrilegc with those pure eyes looking into his to breathe the doubts which now seem- cal to him so unworthy.

The sound of wheels made her turn her head, and the next moment a deep, pleasantly: “Miss Harcourt are you again bound. on the same journey? Now, do let me have the pleasure of 7‘ giving you a lift." Beatrix hesitated one moment, then she answered frankly, “Thank you so 11111011. You know Jennie, that poor crippled child I told you about? Well, I have had a note from her this morn- ing to say her mother is very ill and , there is no one to do anything for her.” Gerald Morton looked' admiringly down at the fair face beside him It was the young man of Hillchester who had given Behtrix Harcourt the name of “the fair philanthropist,” and. it spoke well f01' the girl that even in the fastest circles’her name-was never mentioned but with respect. W'hen Beatrix reached the little cot- tage, which lay close to a wood five miles from Hillchester, she found everything in a state of confusion. One glance at the poor woman showed her to be in a high state of fever and slightly delirious, while an ominous crimson rash was beginning to make _ its appearance on her face and neck. “Why, ,Jenne, your mother has the fever,” Beatrix exclaimed, rapidly. “Haven’t you sent for a doctor, child. and is there no neighbor who would come and help to nurse her?” ' “I wrote to the doctor, miss, when I sent your note, but he has not been yet, and as to neighbors, miss, there are none for a mile or more.” All the morning Beatrix waited, do- ing all she could for the poor sick wo- man, ‘and the afternoon was well on its way when the welcome rap, which surely told‘ of the doctor’s appearance, sounded at the door. ' Beatrix literally flew to open it, and found herself face to face not with the doctor, but the vicar. For the last month. ever since the gossip about Gerald Morton, in fact, matters had been rather strained be- tween the vicar and his fiancee, but all was forgotten now, as, in the im- pulse Of the moment, Beatrix exclaim— ed, “You must not come in here, John, 01' touch me, either. Mrs. Carr base-the fever.” For a moment a lock of keen anxi- ety darkened his grave blue eyes, and the next Mr. Kendrick bad folded the slight form close in his arms, as he murmured brokenly: “Trixie, my' own brave darling, would you have me a greater coward than yourself?” With his arms still about her, she told him how Gerald Morton had driv- en her to the cottage in the morning, adding: “it was well he did, for I should have been an hour later, and Jennie and her mother were quite alone.” ' “Trix, will you forgive me for let- ting that horrid scandal trouble me, even for one moment? Dear heart, I feel I shall never forgive myself.” “Yes, I will forgive you,” Trix an- swered, gayly, the last shadow gone from her honest blue eyes; “only you must never do it again, as the children say.” The vicar’s low breathed answer sounded like a blessing, and then Bea- trix hurried him off to see what fur— ther means they could devise for the. (poor woman’s comfort during the night. A. fortnight later all Hillchester was thrown into a state cf dire consterna- tion by the. news that Beatrix Har- court had scarlet fever, and was, moreover, so dangerously ill that the doctor almost despziired of her life. Truly, a universal calamity might have befallen the place, for Beatrix’s illness and its cause formed the per- petual topic of conversation, both in the homes of the rich and poor. . It happened during one of the worst day’s of Beatrix’s illness that Mrs. Morris and" her friend, Mrs. Maynard, were walking by the drive gate lead- ing to Beatrix’s home. To their aston- ishment they saw a large crowd of people waiting just outside the door—- in their arms, girls who had stolen a few minutes out. of their dinner hour, even one or’ two tall youths and laboring men. In a moment the door opened and a maids’ervant spoke a few words to the anxious watchers. Evidently it was not good news, for with one accord they slowly and silently turned to go away, and as they passed the two lav dies one woman exclaimed in a broken voice which showed tears were not far off: “Ah, well, if we lose her our besr friend is gone, and that’s certain. There aint many in this world like our Miss Beatrix. Bless her sweet face!” Mrs. Maynard and Mrs. Morris walked on in Silence. The scene had touched them deeply,-.and the eyes of the doctor’s Wife were full of tears, while her companion had an unwanted and most unpleasant choking sensa- tion in her throat.“ The lesson was learned, though it was bitter, for each felt “what would these good people have cared had I been in Beatrix Har- court’s place?” But Beatrix, dangerous as her ill- ness was, did not die, and six months later Hillchcster was the scene (at a greater rejoicing than had been known for many a long year, while the won- derful arches, with their various def vices, the glad faces of the people, the. children with their flower- laden bas- kets and the church bells ringing out their sweet messages far and wide, all combined to show the love and re- .spect with which their vicar and his bride had so deservedly gained in the ‘Lci‘il‘LS of their people. —-E'thel Beatrice ,Wudlow, in Madame. \ musical voice said. oi the Charms ~ .
