Henderson read with surprise Miss Harrington's note ask ing him to call that same evening. Only that morning tho twain, agree ing that what they had considered a life engagement was all a mistake and would better bo ended, had parted, and the doctor was at a loss to ac count for this recall. "What can she want?" he mut tered. "I thought we said hil there was to say this '? morning-more, too, maybe-and I don't know of any more gifts to be retnrnod," and. he smiled grimly at the miscellaneous assort ment of packages on his centre table. "Can ?ho be trying to make it np?" and, though knowing the thought to be preposterous, he W03 conscious of a thrill Miss Harrington received him in n small room, almost a deu, opening out of the library; it was here that they had passed their happiest hours. She did not offer to shake hands, aud he caught himself thinkiug how very be coming that cool little bow of hers was; lie had never noticed it before. "Of course you were surprised at my asking you to call," she began,and then paused for him to deny it, which he, with even the slightest regard for truth for truth's sake, could not do. "Do yon know why I have sent for you?" Mis3 Harrington asked, indig nation growing stronger in her voice. Considering that only that morning lie had been convinced that her favor or disfavor could never more be to him a matter of cou cern, ho now felt a 8 tra uga sorrow, almost fear, at her ovideu anger; he paused a moment to draw in .with a long whiff thc warmth and.coziuestfof this little room-they had spout some delightful evenings Lere; then, in answer to her questiou, liBTmrde-^ ' anpposed she wanted to see him. She looked at him scornfully. "No," she declared,. "I did not wish to see you. I am leaving the city tomorrow morning; so are you, iu another direction. I have something of yours, something you had forgotten, which I thought too valuable to seud you by mail or messenger,so there re mained nothing but for you to come in person and get it." ... The doctor shook his head sadly. . "I'm-I'm sorry," ho faltered,apol ogetically, "but I can't imagino.what you mean," . There is some scorn too groat for words-for a time at least. Miss Harrington walked swiftly across the room to the mantel, and re turning, placed ou the table a small red plush case; opened, this showed a handsome diamond ring within. Step ping back from the table, she clasped her hands behind her, and looked at him without a word. Ho stared with puckered brows, first at the ring, then at the girl. "Our engagement ringi" she an nounced finally, when the silence had lasted as long as she could stand. "Oh, surely not!" he answered quickly. "You gave me that this morning-" "And you thonght so little of it, it was to yon a matter of such little im portance, that you went off and forgot it, left it lying here on the table," sho interrupted. "I beg your pardon. I have a dis tinct recollection of taking it with me." To himself ho was saying, "I always knew you were pretty, but not this pretty." "Yon are certainly mistaken," said the girl "I remember distinctly placing it in my right hand lower vest pocket," and. he clasped his hand to the spot indicated. "Thatis impossible." Did yon ever hear two children dis puting? "I did." "You didn't" "I did." "You didn't." Hearne to Dr. Henderson that they were fast approaching that stage. He pulled himself together to crush her with one fine masculine stroke. *1 have too much respect, Miss Har rington," he said, with great dignity, **not only for your feelings, but for my own, to treat so lightly as you have insinuated the seal of our en gagement. Had I been so careless as to forgot it, as you charge, I concede that you >. would have a right to con sider yourself slighted, if not in sulted, but if you know the true state of my heart you would instantly real ize that your charge is absnrd. A mo ment's consideration should havo con vinced you of this, or if your knowl edge of me was not sufficient a simple examination of this ring, to descend to material things, should have bee?. But, womanlike, you rush ahead, act ing on mere impulse, and, of course, blundered." He picked up the ring, a handsome diamond solitaire, to point out to her wherein she had been so foolish. His face wore a sarcastic, withering smile, but as he glanced at the inner surface of the ringt his expression slowly froze, for there stared bim in the face this legend: "A. H. -M. H." And what did "A.H.-M. H." siam for but "Arthur Henderson-Mary Harringto i?" Seeing his surprise, his dismay, the girl laughed grim'y. "Xow," sho Faid, "I sapposo even 1 your-shall wo say assutauco-will hardly permit yon to deuy longer that yon forgot your enagement ring," Ho was still ?tariug at the ring with apparently nothing at ail to say. )UR HEROES.

Misa Harrington took a step back ward, and with a little bow said: "I believe I remarked earlier in this interview, Dr. Henderson, that my only purpo3o in sending for you was to restore to you your property. " .At this curt dismissal tho doctor rose quickly to his feet, coloring slightly. "I nm going," ho 'said, bnt he made no move in that direction. Instead he leauod both bauds on the odge of the table and stared fixedly across it at Miss Harrington. -His brow was puckered up in deep wrinkles, but whether ho was thinking of the girl or tho ring cannot bo said with cer tainty. "I am going," he repeated, "but-< but I dcu't understand it I was nugry tbis morning, I adinif,aud acted foolishly-" ho paused to mutter to himself in a kind of wonder, "Lord, what an awful ass I must have been toj let this girl get away when I had her"-"but when you handed me my ring it gave me a shock, made mo real ize then, as I had not before, what we wore doing. Ha(L.I not felt that it was too late I would then and there have retracted and apologized for every hasty-" "Yon are pleading, thou, I am to understand," she broke in, cal tingly, "the severe shock as your excuse for forgetting the ring, that it so be numbed, paralyzed your senses' yon failed to thiuk of it at ali \ showed it to you a moment p' "No," he continued, stu'" ara. not prepared to admif it I remember sow ^ l^'oly certain that I' M)r. TTendersr Wt ? ^ other sou, th were ? ring o sibly have takou it .with wc might as well make au interview." When she commenced spe* the doctor had stopped. But he L..UI not beou listening; he had been thinking. Now he went on slowly, aB though she had not interrupted him: "I took it homo, straight home-I laid it on the table while I filled and lighted my pipe-I had it iii my hand for almost an hour while I was smok ing und thiuking"-he was impressive ly laying off to her with his linger each link of his chain of retrospection-"I then locked it in a small safe I have in my bedroom. When I started here this evening"-his face broke into a triumphant smile-"I put it in my left hand lower vest pocket, and here Blip .is," and sure enough he pulled out a riug. He picked np the other, and, hold ing them together, carefully compared them. They were exactly alike in every particular, sizo, shapo, sottiug, brilliancy, and in both were engraved letters, "A. H.-M. H." He passed them acros9 to Miss Har rington, whose turn it :now was to sho v,- astonishment. "I-I don't understand it," she faltered. "Nor I," said Dr. Henderson,stern ly. 'Ton seem to have a plurality of ongagement rings to keep a stock on hand, as it were." The girl flushed. "Of course you know that I never Lad but one engagement ring," she said. She was stoopiug to defend herself, so the doctor went on the more se verely. "indeed! Yet here are two. I can not undertake to say how many more you may have with your initials 'H. M.' in them. I suppose that even your-shall we say assurance-will hardly permit yon to say that I was the giver of both. The rather nn nsnal circumstance of two of your fiances having the same initials has probably been the cause of your mis take-a very natural oue undor the circumstances. I do not know who the other- . shall I say lucky?-fellow -Oh! 'A. H.' might be Ab Higgin son." "Mr. Higginson's name is Talbot, as you very well know," the girl put in. "Hum-well-maybe it is. I don't care. Itr doesn't make any difference who the other fellow is-or are. The fact remains that yon had other en gagement rings at tho same time yon had mine. Why you chose to add in sult to injury by trying to make out that I was tho faithless one I cannot imagine. Such brazen-" "Dr. Henderson, your conduct is insufferable. I will hear your insults no longer." "Can you deny what I have said?" "Of course I can, and do. I know nothing of this other ring you have brought. It has your initials,'A. H.,' iu it, too, remember. How nm I to kuow that it is not one yon intended for some other girl who happens to have my initials? Trobably you were ?" vour way to sea her when you got my note." Just here the library door opened, and Miss Harrington's younger brother Gus appeared. G ii?~.was a college senior,, a class of young men not often thrown off their dignity, but lha belligerent attitude of tho two oc cupants of. the room visibly startled bim. "I beg your pardon," he faltered. "I-er-did not know anyone was ia here. I was looking for-er-some thing I thought I had left iu here." He drew back as though ' to leave' the room, and then his gaze falling pu the plush case in his sister's hand, he stopped. "Why, that's the very thing I waa looking for,'* he said,coming.forward? a slight flush on his face; aud taking it from her unresisting hand. "Say! young man," asked, tho doc tor suddenly seeing a light, "is that ring yours?" ; Mr. Harrington drow himself np ta his full height and answered with dig nity: "It is." "Well, that's all right," bogan the doctor, "whnn:-" "Why, what are. you going to du with a ring like that Gus?" eagerly asked his sister. "What does a man usually do with a ring like this?" asked Mr. 'Harring ton, in reply, stretching himself another inch. "I am going to give it to tho young lady I intend to marry." "Oh, Gus, is it Mary Harbison?'' "Yes," he admitted,* the dignified senior disappearing iu- the happy, proud boy. "How did you know?" "Ihen, my dear sir," said the doc tor, with a relieved laugh, "I suppose the 'A. H.'-M.A.' in that ring stands for . Augustus Harrington - Mary Harbison?' " . "And I supposed of conrse that it was for Mary Harrington," laughed thc young lady of that nama "Humph!" sniffed her brother con temptuously. "Think you are the only girl in'tho United States named Mary?" and (hen, feeling that ho was not being treated with proper dignity, he s" ul ked from the room. - When Gus shut the.door, somewhat loudly, Dr. Henderson and Miss Har rington were standing at i'opposite tides of tho table, but before he could ho.ve'taken twoeteps.this was,filtered. The docior marched boldly round to her side. "None but ' the have deserve the fair," he muttered. "And this looks to me like au opportunity to undo my fool work of this morning. I'll make a try for it, anyhow. Mary," he said aloud, taking her hand ia his, "I have acted very foolishly today; you have been foolish; we have been very fool ish. Hasn't it lasted long euough?

One of the most curious charities in Surrey, England, has just been dis tributed in the village of Wotton. In 1718 a resident named William Glan ville died, leaviugawill which directed that he should be buried in the church yard "six yards underground;" and that 40 shillings apiece should be paid annually to five poor boys of the parish, who, on the anniversary of his death, with their hands laid on the gravestone, should repeat by heart the Lord's prayer, the creed, and the commandments, rend I Corinthians, xv., and write two verses of the chapter. Later the number of boys participating in the charity has been increased from five to seven. This year 16 boys offered to compete, but only ll attended. The first seven were successful, aud the unsuccessful boys were each presented with half a crown, while tho five non-competitors received two shillings each. A Stranao lInprM>nlnff.

The George Junior Republic at ' Frcovill?, N. Y., is, perhaps, the most retnarkablo community ever dovised. This extraordinary reformatory is lit erally a nation in miniature, with its own parliament and laws; its own coinage, police, prisons, shops, farms, newspapers, hotels, banks, etc. The founder of this Republic is Mr. Will- ; iam R. George. . Some years ago he j became muoh interested.in problems concerning juvenile law-breakers and "incorrigibles" in New York City, and made up. his mind to try the ex periment of faking them away from their evil surroundings in.the city, and giving-them a chance to'.reform in the oountry. . At first the experiment was not wholly a success. ' but gradu ally.the scheme of a self-governing! Republic was perfected,.and with the-1 very-best of results. July 10th, 1895f is counted as "Independence Day," nud is colcbrated each year. The smallest Republic in the world is likewise the most extraordinary and probably tho best governed. It is diminutive in territory, in tho number of its inhabitants, and in the age and size of its citizens. And yet there aro few of tho best characteristics of the largest democracies which have not their counterpart in tho smallest. Tho interest taken in tho enterprise is shown from the fact that on some days duriug tho summer they have over 200 visitors. The George Junior Ropnblio, as it is called, ia located at Treeville, in Tompkins County, "New York. Its citizens aro boys and girls, gathered largely from tho slams of great cities. Most of them have "histories" more inteoestiug than creditable. They have been horse thieves, pickpockets, runaways, and on the whole, very promising candidates for jails, peni tentiaries, "dives" and the gallows. At the Republio, however, they are soon transformed into independent, thrifty, law-making, law-abiding citi- j zens. Thc territory of t_te Republio con sists of about 100 acres of farm land not far from Itbica. There are only ton plaiu wondon buildings in the jEplis."

Money for a chapel has also recently been givon. The land is good farming, and fine crops of hay, grain and vegetables are raised every year. Horses, cows, pigs, etc., are also kept to advantage. This little Republic ia a government of the children for the children and by th? children. The citizens are bbys and girls from twelve to eighteen ol ago. Those under twelve are minors, and mast have guardians ap pointed by the State from the older citizens. Many of these guardians have shown themselves to be wise, tactful and loving caretakers of the little onos intrusted to their charge. When the minors cannot fully support themselves their guardiuns must look out for thom, so that the State is not encumbered with their support. The total number of inhabitants of the Re publio is now eighty-six. "Formerly, the Government was modeled after that of the United States, with President (at a salary of fifty cents a week), a Cabinet, Senate, House of Representatives and Su preme Court. Judges, police officers, and other officials must pass a Civil Service examination, and in conse quence the most thumbed books in the library of tho Republic are those con taining the penal and civil codo of New York State. All tenure of offico is dependent upon upright behavior. It is tho. ambition of every boy to at fe REPUBLIC. I _ M :em ol Transforming Law- M| Into Good Citizens. <$ *^ ? JPlerscKi; j tain to the distinction of the vertically ' stripecL^rousers. Most of them in deed would rather bo "cop" than Presi dent. In 189G a force of fourteen policemen was necessary to preserve order, but now the State is encum bered with the support of only two. There is, of course, a smart little army. Tho position of Chief Justice, Civil 'Servico Commissioner,Board of Health Commissioner, Sheriff, and in fact almost every prominent civic office excepting that of Coroner-has its counterpart in this Junior Bepublic. There is evou an officer detailed in the early fall to compel lazy truants to attend school. The representative form of government, however, was found to be too unwicldly for so small a Bepublic, and at the suggestion of one of the boys a town meeting was substituted for Congress as the law making body. There are two political partios in tho Bepublic, the "G. G. P.," or Good Government Party and tho "3. O. THE Plt??ON UA.NQ GOI-NG OUT TO "\ 1AWUAMM O - . - -. . - IO I 1 habit. Consequently an amendment was passed which made a citizen liable to arrest and punishment if oven tho smell of smoke could be detected in his breath. Tho ponai ty is a lino of from one dollar to throe dollars, or from ono to three days in the work- < house. Gambling of any sort re?oives no quarter from tho officials. Tho first boy caught "shooting craps" was no less a personage than a member of the Senate- of the Republic; and even though he pleaded gnily, tho judge fined him twenty-five dollars. He re fused to pay. He lost not only his seat in the Sonate but also his rights of citizenship, and he was obliged to don the ignominious striped suit of a convict and break stone at five ceuts an hour. One night Mr. George him self was 'passing his prison eell and spoke to the boy, advising him to pay up and get out o? prison. "No, I won't do it," the boy answered; and then, with the steady wit of the street urohin, he added: "I guess Til take the small-pox to-night and break out." Some days, lalor, however, as he was breaking stone, he suddenly threw down his hammer, threw up his hands in atragio manner, and exclaimed; "I surrender! March me to me bank ac count" When we remember that these laws against swearing, gambling, smoking and other vices, with their heavy penalties attached, are of the boys'-own making,* and are enforced by the boys with a rigor which shows a' strong public sentiment against the evils, we have some idea of the success which has attended this most interest ing effort at self-government. The jail is no playhouse, but has small cells with bars and high win dows, the hardest of beds, and unmis takable prison fare. Upstairs is the court-room, containing, among other things, a trap-door for the entrance of the prisoner, an imposing high desk for the jndge, and a jurors' bench. There ie also a small apace railed off for the witness stand, and rows of A LITTLE QUIET ADVICE, ih boy under twolvo lins n guardian ap pointed by tho State.) seats for interested listeners. Tho sessions of the oourt are most orderly and impressive. The pros and cons aro carefully weighed; evidence is called for in the proper order, and most heart-stirring appeals are made to the jury. Only one case of bribery hr.s ever been discovered, end off that occasion tho guilty official was im mediately deposed, and suffered dis grace as well as legal penalties. But the citizens of the Bepublio spend a comparatively small part of their time malting laws and breaking them. Each must be at work earning his or her own living. ? Bear in mind that the motto of the Bepublic is, "Nothing without labor," and this motto is strictly adhered to, except in case pf sickness. *Every' citizen is supposed to work and earn enough money to pay for his board and clothes. There are two adult head farmers, as well as a carpenter and a honsekcoper, who superintend the work ; but the boys themselves take contraots for running the hotels, making roads, laying drains, farming, building, eto. These contractors hire laborers at wages ranging from fifty cents to $1.50 per day, according to the skill of the workman. The girls are employed at household duties, and the minors usually help their guardians.

Finally a Senator, whose own parents at home were wholly dependent upon city charity, submitted a bill to the Legis lature to tho effect that those "who would not work should not eat."
