I     Here, as on many other occasions In the past  few  years,  the  German  em- . peror ahows that he keeps himaelf In- I formed ot the doings of the world.

CITY   CHILDWEN.

And all the world is still. And gloaming fall, and drowM. ^On every ea.tem bill, When n .ingle breath of coolneaa

Flock forth to about and pin.r.
Poor, hltle city children!
Shut in the stifling town. Kot for them the shadotrtd woodlan<V
Xor their, the hay-field brown The cool, green wn-wavea thunder
^On mnny . aummer nhore— Yet for them the dnva bring only

But aee them when the twilight
Fills every roaring street; There's a call of little voice.
And a ruah of little feet. And n gnat of happy laughter
Through nil the surly tottrn: For the children have their hour
When the twilight gathers dotvnl

¥RS. BASSET was dismayed to tbe verge of tears. "I   never  thought  you'd lake  It  so  hard,  sir,"  she said.
"How long have I hoarded with you, Mrs. Basset'/" "Seven .venrs come September, sir," "Quite right. During tbat time .vou hsve oocHslonally ncoummoilated meu who wished to hoard hero, but never women. I understood that no woman was to lie received here.

"I'm that sorry!" The emotion In ber voice wns geuulne. "Wben she wrote «ud asked me to let her come I said yes right off.

"She Is President of one and Secre¬ tary of another.   She Is bright,"
He groaned. HU opportuultlea to study the progress of women had lieen limited.
"When Is she to—to honor us—with hor presence V"
"Not—not before to-morrow after¬ noon, sir!"
Hc muttered something about twen¬ ty-four hours of (jrace, nnd went off to bis big, lieautlful front room, wherein were gatbered together bis accumula¬ tion of literary nnd artistic treasures. An bour later be opened his door In rcspoDBo to n tentntlve knock. "I'd like to nsk you a favor. Mr, Freer, sir,", began Mrs. Basset.

I can never face that gaunt creature lb spectacles, who will talk pendantlcally to mc across tbe table three times aday!" "Does she wear spectacles?" Freer lltted bis head out ot tbe pack ing case. "I'm sure sbe does. Thoy aU do—tbe clever ones. Sbo might expect me lo take hor lectures. Sbo might Induce mc to take up municipal reform.

"That's so," assented a solemu little voice from the ladder. In the silence tbat followed tbey hoard the hall clock strike.

And there, Indeed, was that worthy woman, leaning against the open door und staring lo wild astonishment at tbe soone presented. Tbe packing eases —tlie heaped up books—the confound¬ ed owner of the latter—tho girl on the ladder.
"Jeancttel" she cried. "My dear! What does this mean?"
"I did uot intend coming until to¬ morrow." Miss Jeanette Wallace bnd descended from her elevated sont oud was greeting her friend warmly. "I ehnnged my mind at tbe last minute— aod came. Now I'm going to change It again—and go away."
"Mr. Freer," pleaded the cmbar- rasse<l landlady, "whnt Is aU this aliout?"
"My blunder, madam!" he cried, re¬ morsefully. "Took this young lady for the housemaid and asked her to help me pack my books, I beg your pardon, I'm sure!"

Whereat Mr. Freer Immodlutoly do- veloix-d a most extraordinary contra- dlctoriuess.
"Not unless you do!" hc declared, stubbornly.
Mrs. Basset looked helplessly from one to tbe otbor.
"Woll, It's aU right now." said Freer contentedly, "and I'm going to unpock these books and put them back where thoy belong."
It wns pouring rain one aftoruoou a couple of months later when Jeuootte Wnllace came forth from a meetiug of the Woman's Club. An umbrella was raised as she slopped out. and a fnoilllar figure walked besldo her tlirough tbe rain.
