GETTING THE NEWS.

The young girl sat in her bedroom with a novel. Her hair was down and her feet were in red slippers. Now and then, extending her white arm. she yawned.

You sec, it was very late, and downstairs in tire parlour her older sister was entertaining a young man. She naturally felt a deep interest in the entertainment. She was waiting to Pear how it would terminate. And at last there was a sound in the hall, a crash as of a closing door, and it was plain to the impatient girl that the young man had gone. She threw down her novel, and, running forth, peered over the balustrade down into the hall's intense blackness. “Well, Maude,” she said, ‘‘did you land him ?” There was no immediate reply to her question. There was a silence, a peculiar silence, a silence with a certain strained quality in it. Then a masculine voice replied — “She did.” —“McCall’s Magazine.”
