OWN in Ulatet; County, New York, [M portion of the Til* lage of Rondont ia called Cooney Is- land, because Pat- ' rick Cooney was the first mau to settle there. Twenty-five •jyears ago, Cooney ^uoved his household effects from the crowded tenement district of the Plank road, a thorongfaro used in Revolutionary times, to the sett tlement which has sine© borne his nune, The name of Cooney Island has no Big* nificanc© geographically, as the settle* ment is situated on a high 'plateau, "bounded on the southaist by Brown's md, on the north by the Old Plftnk on the aiat by a boord fence, and it runs to a corner in wan point, and divil a wan c* me knows which it is." This desription of the settlement is taken verbatim, from Mickey Finn's an­ swer in the geography class, and it is practically correct. AVhen Cooney made the initial move­ ment In migrating three-quarters of a mile northward, he was followed several years later by Michael Finn, hia wife and a boy one year old, whose cradle was a wheelbarrow. Mr. Finn's chief claim to distinction lay in the fact thjit he had once eaten a sugar-cured ham at a single sitting. The Finn's built a lit­ tle cabin, stuck the stove pipe through the wall, and settled down to a potato- oorned-beef-and-c&bbage] existence, un- •oafish. 3?lieu with all dasheA into the b«l«w the /surface. vr ^ Bventful and commonplace. fi\ about the time when silver threads began to make their appearance in Mr. Finn's head, his boy had lived for ten years on this planet. He had, also, in the lan­ guage of Mrs. Flannigan, a neighbor, ihown a remarkable aptitude for "dirty hricks." So that <if a string was found by personal contact to be tied across the walk to trip the unwary, or a tenpenny naii was heard gently tapping, tapping at s window pane, Mickey was always credited with being "up to more of his divilmints.* i At the t|me when our story opens, a solitary drake might have been seen slowly waddling hia way up Hanratty street. He was a lordly bird, and he resembled the famous arab steed in so far as his proudly arched and glossy Beck, and his dark and iiery eyes were concerned. His harem was still dis- S>rting itself in the cool waters of rown's pond, and the drake was on his way to get the first whack at the Indian meal supper. Mra Murphy and Mrs. Flannigan were leaning over their re­ spective gates, on opposite sides of the street, enjoying the twilight of the au­ tumn evening. The last rays of the setting sun illumined the* neek of the drake in rainbow colors. Said Mrs. Murphy: "Ain't he a beautiful dhrake, Mrs. Flannigan? D'ye mind the dignacious walk he has, like a grenadier in sojer clothes!" "Yis, he's nice to be lookin' at," re­ plied Mrs. Flannigan, eyeing the duck critically through a cloud of tobacco smoke, "but ain't it a pity he can't lay* eggs." "Usha, he lay as many eggs as your Shanghai rooster, then," said Mrs. Mur­ phy in an angry tone. "Anyway, he don't be disturbin' dacint people at night by singin' swintlemintal songs." "Arrah, don't be talkin' giddy and looney, Mrs. Murphy. Who's singin' songs at night?" continued l-lannigaii with a tantalizing grin. "Your Shanghai" "And what do he be singin*?* "Ivery mornin' at three o'clock he do be flappin' his wings acrass his chist, and singin' the first part of 'With all Her Faults I Love Her Still.'" * "Bad luck to you Mrs. Mnrphy, the truth is like Injy rubber in your mouth. And who do my rooster be serenadin ?" "Usha, I dunno, unless it might be your Dominick hin. She's not as care­ ful of her repetashun as ehe might be." "Oh, dear, oh, dear, and is it you that's slanderin' the char-achter of me Dominick hin? Look at your dirthy drake with his forty wives and Mr. Flannigan's tirade was inter­ rupted by the sudden squalling of the youngest heir to the Flannigan estate, who rolled out of the door. Mrs. Mur­ phy chuckled and went inside to get supper for the ducks. Mickey Finn appeared on the scene. He had tied a single grain of corn on the end of a black thread. This he threw down before the drake. As the lordly bird bent his graceful neak to pick up the corn, Mickey jerked it away. This he kept up for a quarter of a mile, „ followed by all the juveniles in Cooney Island, shouting with laughter. When the drake /eturned, after his fruitless chase, be found that the platter had been pecked clean, and was forced to go sap- perless to roost. The next day Mickey determined on a Joke to convulse the whole island with laughter. He took all the cents out of his savings bank, and invested them in small rubber balloons. To each of these he tied a piece of spool wire four j feet long, and upon the end of each wire i he fastened a single kernel of corn. ! When the shades of evening were warn-1 ing the ducks that it was supper time, ' Mickey went down to Brown's pond and j called, "Kip! kip! kip!" in a loud voice. ; \ hi But as eacSt appeared again, Its location was marked by a small balloon. Mickey lay down upon the grass and howled with delight. "It's a dale betther nor * monkey show'* he muttered, wiping the tears of satisfaction out of his eyes with lus shirt sleeve. When the ducks had become some­ what reconciled to the new condition of affairs, they gravely walked out of the water, and serenely waddled their way up the street in single tile, headed by the drake. They quacked gentle pro­ tests en route. The unique procession attracted unusual attention, and Mrs. Flannigan was particularly loud in her signs of satisfaction. "By the holy poker," said she to Mrs. Murphy, "tliim ducks o* yours has been tryin' to swally a toy-shop. Sure, that greedy dhrake has more nor his share, as usual." Mrs. Murphy was too full of grief for her pets to reply. She was kept busy for sn hour in corralling the ducks in the kitchen and releasing them from their rubber adornments. To add to her misery, late in the evening a note was shoved under her door. It con­ tained these sarcastic lines in a aohool- bt»/'s scrawling hand. i, • - • Thin the duoka came out to meet their tatfb Whin the pond was soft like spring. And gobbled the bait, So clane and so nate, And I had them on a "sthring. Mrs. Murphy carefully rosined the palm of her right hand that night be­ fore going to bed. She bad learned the trick from her toy who went to the lit­ tle red school-house under the hill. In the morning she kept "an odd eye" on the street, and when Mickey Finn ap­ peared she darted upon him like a> bat onaJunebng. "I hav' ye now, me bucko," she gloated, as she laid the struggling boy over her knees. He roared life© a bull of Bashan, but her grip only tightened. Whack, came down the rosined hand with a sound like a pistol shot. "Oh, oh," shouted the infuriated wo­ man, "take that, me laddybuck! There's six for me beautiful dhrake, and three aich for me lovely ducks that ye were chokin' wid yer wire! Ye'll ato yer m'als off the mantle this day and "till Sunda', so ye will, aad may ye stand 'till ye get bow-legged, ye sout y«^"-- whack, whack, whack! When released, little Mike felt as if he had been sandpapered. He partially revenged himself by throwing two stones through Mrs. Murphy's windows, and then trudged crying to school. But he carefully avoided contact with the hard benches all day. The humiliation of the whipping he had received at the hands of Mrs. Murphy made him ache for revenge, and for upwards of two months he ooptioually thought of schemes by which to square his account. At last he hit upon a plan which was destined to stir (society in Cooney Island to its very depths. He ottltivsted the acquaintance of the drake by little aots of kindness which endeared the bird to him. He carried corn in his trousers' pocket, and so won the regard of the waddler that he would follow the boy to school, and wait outside the door, like Mary's little lamb, until Mickey did appear. It was a touching sight to see the affection of the drake for the boy, snd to watch it peacefully walking behind him on the railroad track. This evidence of mutual esteem excited the admiration of every­ body in tbe village. At this stage of the game, Mickey coaxed the drake into his mother's kitchen one evening and took its meas­ ure for a red flannel shirt, which was to fit snugly about the drake's body, but did not interfere with the action of the wings. Then he went down to the grocery store and procured a lot of white paper, such as is used to wrap up tea. For several evenings he was en­ gaged in building a contrivance six feet high and sixteen feet square, with the help of light strips of wood and paste. When it was completed, he put two pieces of wire across the fctottonrW^that they crossed in the middle. Mioky was now ready to consum­ mate his revenge. With vague hints and wise nods he had spread a rumor that something wonderful was going to occur on the following evening, and many persons were on the watch to witness the marvelous event. At seven ivm*y^iwiM.y, • <1 carried the balloon | .tta iniflbjfNrbiiii Mm •W»<*t*uck inhabitants"the s^emmt rtooTin tfetlt doom a*#thought with trembling that th* Angel Gh ibriel had come. Sometimes to* ballon towed the drake, nod again-the drake towed the balloon. The balloon-drake meteor swept down the valley, narrowly es­ caping the tops of the houses, skimmed over Brown's pond, and flew like a paper comet over the Rondout Creek. Fainter and fainter grew the cries of tbe drake as it disappeared in the dis­ tance. But the light was visible as the balloon rose up the slope of Snake Hill and disappeared over the crest. As it dipped like a falling star over the top of the hill, little Mike said with a smile of gratified vanity: '"Beclad, I'm square wid Mrs. Mur­ phy."--Ernest JgrrolcL v > ? \ The Kbedlva ot E^ypt. • Miss Kate Marpden, the missJrttwiTy to the lepers, who is now traveling ex­ tensively to collect information about the stricken people to whose service she has consecrated her life, was invited during her brief stay in Alexandria, to be presented to the Khetliva. Her ^Highness, the Princess Emineh-Hane'.., .-the Khediva, is the daughter of the lat_ Prince El-Haxny-Pasha, and the mother of two fine bojjj and two pretty girls. She is a fine looking woman of about 80 years, with bright brown eyes ex* pnessive enough to interpret the thoughts she eould not put in words to her English visitor. She has an im­ posing figure, which was on the occas­ ion of presentation draped to advantage in a well-made black gown. The pal­ ace of the Khedive is a peculiar strnet- ure, painted entirely white, surrounded by a court prettily deoorated with green creepers, and paved with a peculiar mosaic made of stones in two colors all turned on their sides. The maids in attendance in the inner hall were all simply dressed alike in plain black and white dresses, Not a man was seen about the palace, whose furnishing ia extremely plain and simple, the only pretty room being the central one, in which were lovely mirrors and candela­ bra and beautifully inlaid and polished floors. The royal lady graciously welcomed the plsinly-dressed woman" who came before her in a costume unlike any­ thing ever seen in the presence-chamber before, for Miss Marsden, to quote her own words, was limited to choice be­ tween "three severely plain uniforms, one of which was crushed, the second very creased, and the tbird on my back, its freshness all gone, likewise some of its buttons. Beqides, they were all so warm, being intended for rough travel­ ing in Russia, and by no means suitable for royal receptions or for the hot cli­ mate. My bonnet had already done good service in London for six months, and its original color being black, it was then a rustv brown. Gloves, fort­ unately I had, bat my only pair of boots were thick traveling ones, made for Si­ beria* FatMw my clumping into the presence of Her Highness with auoh boots." Bufcthe meeting was pleasant. Tea was served in the exquisite little cups with no handles, and the plain woman in the travel-worn gown and heavy boots was made to forget,by the cour­ tesy of her royal hostess, that she was not ia full court dress. v. .

When she was a bride her manner was not only cold but forbid­ ding. She had a tall, thin figure, a month that ran from ear to CUT, a bad complex­ ion, and she was, withal, wholly devoid of gracionsness. She wore her mantilla without any coquettish airiness. But through a constant effort to think and say and do tho right thing she became interesting and agreeable.
