laughed at myaelf for the ttougrtt tttat
had been in my heart. Os ours.-, J
said it waa the baking that hail over
come Mary —it was not my news. I lad
only been to her as a friend—as" a
brother. I had not made Jove to her ;
above all, I had not flirted with Tier,
But I thought ofMary a great doaLand
I missed her every hour exactly—bh.
yes, exact.y—as I might a sister. ••
I wrote to Mrs. Btevenson, and her
answer wae very brief.
“ I haven't much tune to write,” she
said in her postscript. “Mary w sick,
and Ix-side being driven I’m anxious."
This latter Waw in my pocket vp ,ti>ak
day when Angeliua and 1 went tectHier
to the bazar for the benefit of the
Church of St Matthew.
After wo hail roamed abont the bazar
and Ixiught all sorts of irniek-iufccka, I
escorted Angelina to a seat, and there
sat down to wait White otto of tholMdio*,

Tua Ixiudon Telcyrajih, of a recent •
‘date, anys : Thirty tons of human Ixmes
have just ireen lauded at Bristol from
Turkey. Picked up tu the immediate
neighlxithood of Plevna, cartel thence
to Boduato, they now go to enrich En- '
gliali soil. To those who do not give to,
niufli a matter much consideration, it.
may Ire well to mentiou that thirty tons
of I Hines mean the akelehma of 30,000
tnwti. They do not include, probably, (
many stone* or pieces of wimnJ, l*ut in
all likalih'Hid are the actual lx>neaof the
gallant men wire, from the inaide and

which Osman Pasha made, fought as

there were otirer terrible fights in July

surrendered. Each exmtest furnish'd
