A pretty girl, scarce numbering twenty summers, in a dainty room, sur­ rounded by all her own dainty belong­ ings, is the scene on which our curtain rises. The small, jeweled fingers hold .a , card on which are penciled these words, "Introducing my friend, Jack Des­ mond." Below is the writer's own name--Frank Minton--this in the en­ graver's best form; but the latter name is written elsewhere as well, on no less a spot than Sydney Cole's heart, for she is Frank Million's betrothed wife. How often she had heard him speak of his frielld who now awaited her com­ ing in her father's drawing-room! "A royal fellow among men, but ut­ terly impregnable among women--car­ rying danger always; always escaping himself." This so often had been the burden of her lover's strain, and now she was ready to see and judge for herself. What wonder that her heart beat a little fasffe, or that, snatching up a fragrant bunch of red roses from her toilet, she fastened them at her waist, making the only spot of color on the white cashmere gown, and giving the one finishing touch needed to make her look as though she had stepped out of a picture-frame? Evidently some such thought as this crossed the man's mind, who started to his feet as the radiant vision met his view. "Yes, ht is dangerous," was Sydney's inward comment, as she glanced up in­ to the handsome bearded face, and rec­ ognized the power which might be in those laughing brown eyes, should their laughter turn to earnest tender­ ness. , Danger? Yes; but not to her, for, wrapped in Frank's love, surely she was invtflflhLe. Suppose--suppose she juried t^^MpkBriment of making ]pxn Had th# tSought really given itself a definite shape? She hardly recognized it; yet with her hand clasped one mo­ ment in strong, warm grasp, her ear catching a few murmured words of courteous pleasure at the meeting, she felt as does the war horse, sniffing the scent of battle from afar, and eager for the fray. "Do you know," her visitor said, as he rose to take his leave at the end of an hour, as marked by the clock--scarce half that time, Sydney would have said had she been asked--"do you know I no longer wonder at Minton's anxiety to turn Benedict? Will you pardon me when I add that a little curiosity prompted my desire to see you to-day, and to learn how strong must be the temptation to forego the liberty of bachelorhood ?" "We must tempt you to follow Frank's example," she answered with a blush. "Had he not set it, I should have been more tempted," was the reply. Five minutes later she was alone. Mr. Desmond was to be a guest in the city a fortnight, during which time she should see him often. Already she an­ ticipated it with pleasure. That night she wrote to her betrothed: I have seen your friend; he presented your card to-day. I wonder did you paint me to him in the glowing colors you have so often painted his portrait to me, and if he, as I, laughing at your enthusiasm, found the reality brighter than the picture? I fear not I fear in me he must have been dis­ appointed; but in him I am not only not so, but I no longer wonder at your strange love for him. But one thing is wanting; his heart is sleeping. All women are to him alike. Do you know I feel tempted to make him single me out? I feel tempted to rouse the (deeping lion from his lair. Shall I try, Frank? It would be an interesting experi- THE MAKEET. ^ ^ment Three days later she wrote again: HSW TOBX. .$ AW 7.80 ?§<;; NINE men were killed wounded by the explosion of a boiler in a saw mill at Moss Point, Miss Nearly all of the victims were negroes.... .By a gas ex­ plosion in the basement of the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, twenty-seven persons were wounded, two or three of them fatally.

Do you know I fancied that I had made upon him a slightly favorable impression, suffi­ cient for him to return and have it deepened --at least, sufficient for me to have an opportunity to test the interesting experi­ ment of which I last wrote you. But evidently his latent distrust of the sex lias awakened. I have not seen him since his lirst call, which could not, I am sure, have exceeded twenty minutes in length. All my hopes of causing you to suffer from the pangs of the green-eyed monster have fled He refused to be charmed--charm I never so wisely. They were light words, lightly written, but none the less Sydney felt a deep disappointment that she would not acknowledge to herself even as she wrote them. It left 110 outward trace, however, as a few minutes later she stood before her mirror, dressed for Mrs. Crony's german, which she was engaged to lead with Guy Railings, the best danctr in all her set. She need not fear to-night that she would hear soft nothings whispered in­ to her ew. Guy Railings had been one of her adorers since he had doffed his roundabouts, and neve* failed to show himself openly disconsolate that a hero from another city should have borne off he coveted prize. But even this balm to her wounded vanity was not to be forthcoming to-night. Before .eaving the house, a note was brought t> her, in which Mr. Railings' greatest rjgrets, for a sudden sprain to his ankle, arose from the fact that he must be deprived of a pleasure which he had BO long been eagerly anticipat­ ing, in fe<ling himself, for one night at least, the envv of all the men in the room, etc, to the end of the chapter. But, eitering Mrs. Crosby's dressing- room, h*r vexation vanished as her hostess, npturously greeting her, hav­ ing followed her hurriedly up the stairs, met her with the announcement that, having hiard of Mr. Railings' accident, she had npplied a substitute--one she and po--ess the charm of novelty- friend of her husband, Mr. Jack D mond. Then she retreated to her guests, leaving Sydney to follow, not noticing the quick" crimson stain on the lovely eheek which had flaunted itself at her words. "I might have spared him," thought the girl. "Now, to do so, only one tiling will be wanting, and that is my power," And,^taking a last glance in the mir­ ror. at the charming vision it reflected, at the face men called beautiful, at the exquisite figure whose every curve was delineated by the Parisian toilet donned to-night in all its first freshness, it was small wonder that, at the improbability of the latter, an incredulous smile touched the red lips. It still rested there when Mr. Des­ mond relieved her father of his charge, and drew her arm within his own. "We have not had much praotice to­ gether, Miss Cole," he said, as he led her to the further end of the room; "but I rather think no one will be the wiser save ourselves." "I should imagine you danced well," she replied, indifferently, "and I can easily give you the figures Mr. Railings and I had decided upon, or I should be happy to receive instruction in any new Ones at your hands." "You have not asked me why I have not been to see you," he said a little lat­ er, as they kept time to a charming waltz. His arm was about her slender waist; her little hand rested on his sleeve; his eyes for a moment met hers, but their laughter had gone, and in its stead was a new-born tenderness. She strove to answer lightly, but the words refused to come. "I dared not come," he whispered. A little later she could have laughed at the singular influence the simple utterance had possessed over her. Was not this man acting a part, and did she not know it? It was she who must hold sway, not he; but even as she thus decided she felt that she was toying with a flame which might scorch all who approached it, and yet burn on calmly and undimmed. "I have a message for you from Frank," she said, when he bade her good-night. "Will you come to-morrow to hear it?" He bowed assent. She had put his coming in such a form that refusal was impossible. The next day he was in her presence. It was but a forerunner of the many days to follow. But they no longer spoke or hinted of danger to either. They talked of themselves, the past, the present. On the future they rarely touched, and then but with the passing lightness of a bird's wing. Three weeks had passed and Mr. Desmond spoke of leaving them. On the evening of the day fixed for his de­ parture, he came to bid Sydney good- "You have made me break the first promise I've ever broken, Miss Cole," he said to her. "I had promised Frank to be best man at his wedding; but I telegraphed yesterday to have passage taken for me in the steamer which sails for Europe a fortnight from to-day." "You are going to Europe?" die said. "For how ldhg? 'Until I have conquered myself," he answered. Me sprang to his feet and said lightly, t "Good-by, Miss Sydney. God bless you and dear old Frank in your new life." She, too, stood up and strove to make reply. Tears were not common visitors to the deep blue eyes; but now--now that she would fain drive them back-- they came welling up from some secret fountain, falling so thick and fast she could not wipe them awav as they fell, nor check the sobs which racked the slender frame. Instinctively he opened his arms and drew her to his heart. She felt it mad­ ly beat as in hoarse tones, but in very fond, endearing accents, he murmured her name. Suddenly she wrenched herself away. The tears were checked. She stood pale and trembling before him, but with the fixed light of resolve in her beautiful eyes. "I heard that no woman had ever touched your heart," she said. "I de­ termined to try--you see the result. For you is scored another victory--for me defeat. I wish my humiliation to be complete, therefore I make unnec­ essary confession. Now, good-by; but do not add the blessing; I do not de­ serve that--ah, no!" "You tried to touch my heart?" he answered. "For once, Sydney, let me speak the truth. The first hour I saw Jrou it passed into your keeping. Honor, oyalty to my absent friend, have led me to play my poor part at disguise; but you have wrung my pitifully-kept secret. Sydney, is it our fault that we thus learned love's lesson? My dar­ ling, my love, what is all the world if it parts us from each other ?" "It is not of the world we have to think," she said. "It is Frank. Shall he be made the sacrifice upon our altar ? No, no, Jack! Let us be trua to him, and so true to ourselves. We will utter no sophistries. The way is clear. Life will never be quite dark, dear, now that I know you, too, have loved and lost. But Frank shall not be the one to suffer from a girl's wanton experiment. This I swear." On the girl's pale face as she spoke was something of the expression which the ancient martyrs might have worn. "Go!" she added. "I am not very strong. Leave me my faith in myself, and in that in you that wooed and won me. Should you stay, you would not be the man to whom I gave my heart, but another, base and ignoble, from whom I would withdraw it. Hush! do not Bpeak a single word. Leave me my dream!" she entreated. A shudder shook his frame; he stooped from his great height and let his lips a moment touch her uplifted brow. The next minute she was alone-- alone henceforth, through the long, weary time to come--alone even as, three months later, on the eve preced­ ing her wedding, she sat by her lover's side and listened while he told her of the morrow and the bright future of which it was to be the threshold. "Too bad Jack disappointed me," he added presently. "Do you know I fan­ cied you and he did not quite hit it to­ gether ? You wrote me something about an interesting experiment, but you forgot to tell me the result." "It is not worth the telling," she an­ swered with a little laugh which sound­ ed strangely to the mans' keen ear, as though it held in it the ring of unshed tears. "Or--perhaps I was worsted in the fray. Will you promise to heal my broken heart, Frank, dear?" He thought she jested as he bent and hushed the red lips to silence with his kisses; but she knew that the jest was sorry earnest, and that in its answer lay the happiness of the life she had so nearly wrecked, the experiment the future alone might solve. - •arical The trouUe* of a . . ments culminated one Saturday night, |ii0 mipni i umid murmurs breaking out into a load and general complaint. "It's an outrage the way I'm picked at," said tha banjo. "Don't you say a wordi" suouied the guitar and harp simultaneously. "Keepyour seats, gentlemen," inter­ rupted the violin, "and consider my pitiable condition. What can be worse than to have one's spine rubbed down with resin and scraped over incessant­ ly with a horse-hair saw?" "Humph!" growled the drum; "Fm- beat about the head until I'm a perfect sight, all tatooed;" and then, scowling ominously at the sticks, "Oh, I've got it in for you!" "Shut up," yelled the sticks, "or we'll break your old head in!" "Oh, my! groaned the music box. "My health's very bad. Pm all run down." "I'm badly blowed myself," broke in the cornet. (Murmurs of "He's givin' me wind now," "The brass of the fel­ low," and "Wipe off your tube," from the company.) "I have the life thumped out of me day long," grumbled the piano. "Sometime two of 'em get at me with both hands, and there's nothin' worse than that. I'll leave it to him if there is," turning to a cabinet organ. But he couldn't pump tho organ. A fellow that reads much doesn't talk a great deal. "I'm so racked, Fin a mere skeleton !M sighed the bones. "You oughtn't to complain," said the pipe organ; "look at the jokes you hear, while I have to listen to the "same old sermons year in and year out." "I just wish you had to listen to the jokes, you great, fat, lazy thing. That's what brought me where I am," responded the bones, "and as for the sermons, they'd be nuts for me." "Yes, they would--chestnuts!" "I'm tired to death of sitting qn this fence," broke in a plaintive note from a pile of music. "I'll bet that fellow's a flat," said the mouth-harp. "That's where you slip up, old chin- music, he's traced me, all the same." "You must be flat yourself, then." "There's where you're wrong again. I'm a ha rp." B"So'm I," cried the Jewsharp. "Keep your mouth out of this, will you?" yefled the whole party. "You're no gentleman; you steel." "You're lyre!" shouted the Jewsharp at his nearest assailant. "Toot-toot-toot," said the trumpet; "no violins here." "Oh, dear," piped up a shrill voice, "I can't get my breath; I am in an aw­ ful piccolo." "I declare fife ever hoard anything worse than that in my life," said one. "Or I, zither!" said another. Cries of "Bass!" "Viol!" on all sides.--Cincinnati Saturday Night The Most Prosperous People in Europe. It is economy, in detail, rather than in great aggregates, that makes the wealth not only of families, but of na­ tions. The French know well this fact, and, in spite of the disasters to their vintage, and (not long before) to their silk culture, they are now the most prosperous people in Europe. Eve% family seems to have some reserved resources; the peasants, almost univer­ sally, are found ready at the call of the Government, to subscribe something for the national bonds, and the small resources of the millions make the opulence of the nation. In the financial revulsion which fol­ lowed our own war, our people became, for a time, generally economical, and the result was the restoration of our prosperity. This general economy is a fixed habit with the French; saving has become a sort of French luxury, and the effect is seen in all French finance. The women have been pronounced "the best business men" in France. They carry on an immense amount of, not only the handicraft, but of the mer­ cantile business of the country. Many an incapable Frenchman has been saved from bankruptcy, or recovered from it, by the superior capability of his wife. She is quite generally his best counsel­ lor in his business transactions, his in­ vestments, etc. She is often his chief book-keeper, and when he topples over helpless and hopeless, she gathers up the ruins of his business and restores his fortune. Such cases are universal­ ly notorious. Hence it is that, as both consequence and cause, Frenchmen, more than any other men, take their wives into the confidence of their busi­ ness. Americans may learn a good les­ son from them in this respect. Nothing tends more to make families economical than to confide their resources to the care of the wife; if Bhe buys for them on credit, it will be wasteful; if she has the key of the "strong box" and pays cash for her purchases she is more likely to err on the side of economy than on that of extravagance. All the interests of the family are more import­ ant to her a>nd her children than to the husband. Frenchmen believe in this fact more than Americans do, for they have learned it from experience; and to it they owe much of their pros­ perity, and the republic owes largely its salvation to it.--Paris Letter. The Rural Legislator. The following from the Albany Ex- prettH is an extract from a letter writ­ ten by a rural Legislator, and addressed to a friend: "Well, I'm getting pretty well broke in, but I ain't reached a pint whar I can take the bit between my teeth an' jump the fence. I am git- tin' uster the ways of the city, an' can cuss a nigger at the hotel with the bent of 'em, let me tell you. I have got so I can eat oysters. Didn't like 'em at first, they were so slimy, but I soon saw it was expected of me, so I put one in my mouth, shut my eyes, and sent her home. She didn't want to stay, for the blamed thing was alive, but I hilt her down, an' didn't wink. I tried to eat some lumber cheese, but it wouldn't go. You can smell the stuff as fur as you can stand flat-footed and fling a rock. I went to a show the other night. I expected to see horses and a trick mule, but when they pulled up a great painted wagon-kiver, thar stood two well-dressed fellows. They commenced to talk, an' I never seed men carry on so ill my life. Putty soon a gal come in an' then they had a devil of a time. Well, they jawed around awhile, an' then some fellow let down the wagon- kiver. After the kiver went up again, two fellows got to fightin', an' while they fit, the gal hopped in an' downed one of 'em. ' They kep'er goin' on this way till I thought somebody was goin' to git hurt, but finally everything come out all right, except they didn't have no horses."

"A health/ heart » only a big nutacle, and nohoay (Mm have grief enough to break it. fore, a blooming young widow apparently inconceivable grief at the death of her husband, and in a short time recovers her equanimity, not to be accused df hypocrmy, Netth«r may it he concluded that another widow who soon pines and dies baa more affection for her husband tli»w the first. The first widow may have had even more affection than the other, but have been sustained by physical health. "It is erroneous to suppose that death by heart disease is always sudden. It is very commonly protracted for years, and exists undetected by most skillful physicians only to be developed by some sudden occurrence. There was an eminent physician of Brooklvn, in active practice, who died wit£in an hour of a time when he was about to lecture. He was so well that, after ex­ amination by skilled physicians of a firat-dass insurahce company, he was declared to be perfectly sound, and % policy for $10,000 insurance on his life reached his home before his body was cold. 'The cause of his death was a mystery until the post-mortem (examin­ ation,'by Dr. John G. Johnson of Brooklyn, show that a little piece of chalky deposit in the heart had beeome loosened and formed an embolism. The man had simply taken some specimens out of his desk, and he died in his chair without any excitement or undue effort. Any little excitement might have done it. The exertion of grief might have done it, and then his death would have been cited as that from broken heart. "So-called deaths from broken hearts may be frequently traced in this way. One exertion as well as another may furnish the requisite culmination. Medi­ cal books are filled with instances of death by heart disease during the per­ formance of pleasurable natural func­ tions. When a man is nearly dead it is easy to put on him the finishing stroke, but it is inaccurate to give the finishing stroke all the blame of his death. When a woman loses her husband, or a girl loses her lover, and, by nervous ex­ haustion, loss of sleep, lack of nourish­ ment and grief, weakens the action of her heart, she is said to die of a broken heart, but she has, in fact, died of a very ordinary disease. "The case of Bill Poole, living for days with a ball in his heart, is often spoken of as remarkable; but Dr. Flint records a case where a man had a ball in his heart twenty years and finally died of pneumonia. Both these men had healthy hearts and could not have had them broken by grief. Yet, in fact, more men than women die of heart disease. One medical observer records 100 cases of rupture of the heart where there was no grief to account for it. In fact, grief is a very rare cause of heart­ breaking. "Disease is the real cause of heart- breaking, and the various kinds of dis­ ease which lead to it are so many that volumes would be necessary to describe them. "It is a curious fact that the least dangerous heart disease often creates the most apprehension. Frequenilj patients who have only a functional, curable disorder will not be'per«ua<!._ that calamity does not impend, al­ though there may be no real danger. On the other hand, organic disease may exist unsuspected. There are sympa­ thetic relations between the mind and the heart, and disorders of the heart are frequently traceable to mental ex­ citement, either pleasurable or painful. Quick beating of the heart is no certain symptom of danger. It has been de­ monstrated that the pulse may safely range from 100 to 140 per minute for many years;" Dog Dentistry. J "Oh, about the teeth. That was tool bad. You see my chum has got a dog that is old, and his teeth have all come out in front, and this morning I borried pa's teeth before he got up, to see if we couldn't fix them in the dog's mouth so he could eat better. Pa says it is an evidence of a kind heart for a boy to be good to dumb animals, but it's a darn mean dog that will go back on a friend. We tied the teeth in the dog's mouth with a string that went around his upper jaw, and another around his under jaw, and you'd a dide to see how funny he looked when he laffed. He looked just like pa when he tries to smile so as to get me to come up to him so he can lick me. The dog pawed his mouth a spell to get the teeth out, and then we gave him a bone with some meat on, and he began to gnaw the bone, and the teeth come off the plate, and he thought it was pieces of the bone, and he swal­ lowed the teeth. My chum noticed it first, and he said we had got to get in our work pretty quick to save the plates, and I think we were in luck to save them. I held the dog, and my chum, who was better acquainted with hins, untied the strings and got the gola plates out, but there were only two teeth left, and the dog was happy. He woggled his tail for more teeth, but we hadn't any more. I am going to give him ma's teeth some day. My chum says when a dog gets an appetite for anything you have got to keep giving it j to him or he goes back on you. But I think my chum played dirt on me. We | sold the gold plates to a jewelry man, and my chum kept the money. I think, as long as I furnished the goods, lie I ought to have given me something be­ side the experience, don't you ? After I this I don't have no more partners, you j bet." All this time the boy was mark­ ing on a piece of paper, and soon after I he went out the groceryman noticed a crowd outside, and on going out he found a sign hanging up which read, "Wormy Figs for Parties.?--'Peck's | Bad Boy. * Passenger Elevators.
