Al'TUMX IX THE (jAliWlX
Pale gossamers of marshland birth.
Are tangled through the shorten
ed days;
New flavors from the spice-fed
earth
Blow lightly down the garden
ways.
Among the 'rose vinci" russet leaves,
Across the pinks' deserted bed,
Athrifty housewife spider weaves
A tapestry of silver thread.
Through dreamy lights of after
noon,
Against the shadows lilac l'*lds,
In pomp of saffron and maroon
Parade tho saucy marigolds.
A cTirttet from his dusk retreat
(A ragged plantain awniirg)
sings;
About the empty garden seat,
■Like cameo tka bead moss elings.
As rainy-ficented mornings feome
And chiller grows each narrow
day,
Afoot, awing, with whir and hum,
Tho summer insects flit away;
And, liko an echo of tho tides
That murmur in an ocean shell,
A zephyr in the woodbine hides
And bids the emigrants farewell.

Youths' companion.

A Marriage oi:
Convenience
By WILLARD BLAKEMAN
Flxley was putting the finishing
touches on bis education at Heidelberg,
Germany, when he received a letter
from his mother that his father was
very 111. He was about to start for
home when he received a cablegram
directing bim to await a letter whore
he was.
When the missive came it was ac
companied by a very long one written
by a lawyer. The letter from Mrs.
Pixley, after exhausting matters inci
dent to her husband's death, said, "I
hope after you have read Mr. Conk
ling's letter you will act as he sug
gests."
Mj. Conkling's letter, summarized in
a few words, was that George Pix
ley's father had entered into a manu
facturing scheme with Edward Brown.
Extensive works were about being
completed when Brown died and left
ill his property to his only child, Xlice.
Additional capital was needed, but the
leatb of both the principals had so
complicated affairs that no one would
loan money on the enterprise. The
ittorney said that if Pixley would re
turn at once and devote himself to the
tnislness In question there was a hope
}f saving the money already invested.
Miss Brown, aged twenty, was travel
ing In Europe. If Pixley could unite
tils and her interests there would be no
Jifflculty in the way of carrying
:hrough the manufacturing scheme.
Nothing was said about how Pixley
should identify his interests with those
it Miss Brown, but Pixley conceived
in idea of Ills own. But he must first
form Miss Brown's acquaintance. Her
mother's letter gave her location at
Munich.
One day while Miss Alice Brown was
listening to the orchestra in the Hof
tirau in Munich she was pointed out
to Pisley, who had recently arrived.
She was sitting at a table on which
were refreshments with an elderly
pdy (her aunt) and a boy oC fourteen
[her cousin). At adjoining table
sat a couple of German -nusp waisted
irmy officers. They had been arfnk
ng considerably, and one of them was
)gling Miss Brown and talking to his
companion in German, sounding her
praises loud enough for every one
near by to heiir. Miss Brown as soon
is she became aware that she was an
jbject of admiration on the part of a
man in his cups turned her back upon
dim.
Pisley was a witness of all this; also
:hat the officer, continued his remarks
ifter the young lady hnd turned her
Sack on him. Pisley, who understood
md spoke German, also heard him
make some derlsivyemarks about her,
indicating at the same time that he
knew she was an American and did
not understand German. Pisley ad
vanced to the officers' table, tossed a
card on it, then, turning to the party
nsulted and raising ills hat, said:
"You are evidently annoyed here.
Will you permit me to escort you to
another table?"
The offer was accepted, and when
they reached a new position Pisley
was invited to remain with them.
While they had seen him drop his
card on the table at which the two offi
cers sat, none of them knew that It
was a challenge to fight a duel.
■ • -t .1 i
acquainted, and there was an especial
reason why they should do so in this
case. The elderly lady asked Pixley
to call upon them the next day at their
botel, and he [jromised to do so, but
he neglected—through an oversight,
they supposed—to give his name.
When they parted Miss Brown gave
Pixley a look which was intended to
convey her thanks for the service he
had rendered them.
The next evening he called and be
trayed what had happened by a long,
narrow patch over his left cheek, in
dicating that it covered a gash. Miss
Brown was puzzled and inquired if he
had met with an accident In reply
he handed her a little note written In
Oerman and translated it for her. It
was an apology from the officer who
the night before had insulted her.
Something popped Into Miss Brown's
head.
"Have you been fighting a duel?" she
asked.
"Yes."
"And this apology has been forced."
"No; it was written voluntarily and
after the frucas."
"Heavens! Did you kill him?"
"Oh, no! I am a member of a Hei
delberg dueling corps. He is fin in
different swordsman. I eluded injur
ing him by giving him an opportunity
to draw a little blood. I only wished
to teach him manners. I didn't even
scratch him."
Miss Brown's tongue seemed para
lyzed for a time; then she said in a
low voice:
"And you did all thi:j for me?"
"I would have done it for any lady,
but it gave me inexpressible happiness
to do it for you."
Pixley, having thus by a fortunate
circumstance made a fine start in a
courtship, pushed on rapidly for a few
days, when be no longer found it im
possible to withhold his name.
"Pixley!" repeated Miss Brown,
"Why, that was the name of my fa
thers partner."
"Was your father James Young
Brown?"
"Yea."
"What a coincidence!"
Miss Brown went back home as Sirs.
Pixley, but never knew that her mar
riage was one of convenience. It turn
ed out a happy one, however.
