You comprehend me, Mat- tie?" "Oh, yes, Paul," responded the young lady sorrowfully. "I thought it would come to this. I have not beeu an idle observer of your impatience and dissat isfaction in thia house for months past,' continued the girl. "I have been preparing for my de­ parture for six weeks, and shall leave for New York to-morrow evening." "And thence?" queried Mattie. "To South America. My plan is not matured, but I shall leave this place, which has become hateful to me. You will remain, of course?" "I can't do otherwise. Yon will re- tnrn some day, Paul," she murmured, with a terful expression, "and then " "We shall be older, Mattie, and more experienced, and better judge if we are as sincerely attached to each other as we now think we are." "You are right, Paul. You are older than I am, but we are only children as yet, I know; I am scarcely 15; you are 18. You will succeed--I am sure you will. And then you will come back." These two speakers were very young people to talk thus seriously, but they had been reared in a adfbol to make them serious. Mattie Purcell was the only child of Mrs. Highfoot's dead sister, who had taken her into the family ton years pre­ viously and had "done for her" (as she termed it) from her childhood, though she had a family of her own to bring up, Bat her husband was rich and she was a very airy personage, continually prat­ ing of her "wealth, standing and influ­ ence in society," while as constantly she had turned the cold shoulder toward poor little motherless Mattie. Paul Crumlett was a good-hearted boy, and he was an orphan, too. Mr. Highfoot was his father's cousin.( " Mattie found herself more lonely and more dispirited now than ever she had expected to be, but she strove to make her condition endurable, though the continued slights and annoyances to which she was subjected in the heartless family of the Highfoots hu­ miliated her excessively. She never heard one word from Paul. . Once, a year after he left, when he was 19 years old, he wrote her a long, affectionate letter, bnt she never received it. Had it been intercepted? No one seemed to know. The lad went to Panama,' thence to Brazil. He worked hard, but met with varied fortune. He passed three years in California, and tired at last of the wild though busy life he exper­ ienced there He thought of Mattie very often. Was she the same sweet girl he know her to be in their young days ? Did she remain the same de­ voted friend that she hail ever been during their weary years together? She had never answered his letters, though he remembered. Had she married? Was she alive ? Had her rich relatives cast her off? « |F He had been away some seven years, and one day he concluded to take the train for New York and make a visit to his old acquaintances. Having reached the city he attired himself in a very plain suit and repaired directly to the elegant home of the Highfoots, having lirst pentuj> his well- worn trunk, upon which the family quickly recognized the initials P. C. "Back again!" exclaimed Mrs. H., with unfeigned disgust. "A bad penny soon returns," she continued. "Now, father," she added/addressing her hus­ band earnestly, "this must be put a stop to. We can't have him here and I won't." • "Here he is, my dear," responded Mr. H , looking out at the lace-cur­ tained window. The daughters came into the parlor an hour later in their "stunning" fash­ ionable costume--for the Hiehfoots de­ cided that they must be coldly civil-- and Paul remained to dinner. The girls thought him a very nice-looking young man; and pity 'twas he was so poor and friendless. "Wheie's Mattie? My little friend whom I used to be so familiar with ?" asked Paul, at length. She had gone out to the neighboring park with the baby and nurse. "She must have*grown out of my ac­ quaintance," suggested Paul. "Well, they didn't know that Mattie had changed much. She 'peared to them the same old sixpence--dull and quiet and taciturn as usual. "She won't look at a gentleman, scarcely. She's had a half dozen chances and lost them all by her seem­ ing aversion to the other sex," added the mother. Paul was inwardly delightly with this information, but he made no avowal of it. "Here she comes," said Mrs. High- foot, as the front door opened and a blooming, lovely woman, with rosy cheeks and rosy mien, entered the apartment to greet the Btranger "just Jrom California." She didn't know him Jit first sight, but when Mrs. Highfoot said: "It's mmM. Paul, Mattie. Yon remember Paul Crumlett, of conrse ?" the fair beauty pat out her hand, and lookefi into his eyes, and expressed in that brief but earnest glance of loving recognition all that her lover oould hope for. "I hop? Pm welcome here," said Paul, after the girls had disappeared that evening. •We're glad to see yon--yes, Paul," said Mrs. Highfoot. "But the fact is, we haven't any permanent accommoda­ tions now that we cau aSord you. We hope vou've done well; but yon Bee, we can't board you here. We've r house­ ful now." Paul thought this was '-ery plain and frank and took no offense at all. It wan just what he wanted them to say if they thought it. "Well, good-night," he said, cheer­ fully. "I'll send for the box. It isn't very valuable, but it contains all my little fortune," and he rose to retire. Next day the Highfoots were not a little nettled to see a magnificent car­ riage halt before their door at noon. A pair of snperb bays stood before it, an elegantly attired gentleman got out, and, to their surprise called for Miss Mattie Purcell. "Why, bless me!" exclaimed Mrs. Highfoot, suddenly recognizing the stranger--"It's Paal Crumlett. as I'm alive! Come in--Paul. Are you not coming in?" "No thank you, madam," said the young man civily as Mattie made her appearance and he handed her into the splendid vehicle. As the prancing horses moved away the now envious woman looked out at the front window and exclaimed with emphasis: " Well--I nefer!" Paul Crumlett took the two small hands of lovely Mattie in his own as soon as the carriage had let the High­ foot residence and said, with earnest fervor; "Dear Mattie, how rejoiced I am to see you looking so well and so like your old sweet self." "You are not happier than lam thus to meet and greet you, I am confident." "Now, Mattie, you do not forget or repent your promise given to me seven years ago, when I was as poor as a church mouse, do you ?" "No, dearest 1 And never shall,* said Mattie, affectionately. "So I believe. And I am happy to tell you I have succeeded since that day beyond my most sanguine hopes. I am rich, Mattie! Iiich«to my heart's content. I have been fortunate in Cali­ fornia, and I have come home to claim your hand." "It is vours, Paul--and would have been as surely had yon returned with* out a dollar." "I do not doubt it," said Paul, ardently. And within a month the two poor relatives were married--and off the hands of the selfish Highfoots. When they settled in their own fine residence Paul declined to visit these famous people. "And you tell me the boy is rich?" asked the lady of her husband one evening. "Ye*. Made * quarter of a million in California." "Well--I never!" exclaimed Mrs. Highfoot, as she thought what a splen­ did match this would have been for one of her daughters--perhaps. They t«ot There. They were going down Jefferson ave­ nue as hard as they oould gaUop, if a man and a woman can be said to have galloped at all. He was about ten feet in advance, with his coat-tail almost on a level with his head, and anything but an angelio expression on his perspiring and lob ster red face. His breath was coming in quick gasps and his teeth were grinding together. She was gaining a little on him, del- cate looking little woman though she was, and notwithstanding the fact that she had to stop about every twenty feet to pick up some of the many bundles she had in her arms. Her skirts swished and swashed as she tore along, her bangs grew flat and straight on her moist brow, her ribbons flew out straight behind and her little boot heels clattered briskly on the sidewalk. You have already guessed that they were husband and wife, and you are right in your surmise that they were running to catch the train. "Come on!" he hissed out without looking back. "I told you that " "I'm coming fast as I can!" "I kep' a telling you that it was most train time, but you " "You--never--no snoh--thingl" she panted. "I did! I told you that we'd lose the train if you " "You said that--wait--wait----" "I shan't!" "There, I've got it! I dropped a bundle, but " "Come on, or we'll be " "I'm coming." "I'll bet you this will be the last time I'll cro shopping with --" "Nobody asked you to go this time!" "It takes yon women an hour and a half to--hurry, hurry! I told you and I kep' telling you " "You didn't!" " I did! I showed you my watch and-- we've only half a minute left; come on !" She came clipping aloag until he grabbed her by the arm and then they Hew across the street, tore into the depot, and he said: "Has the B-- train left yet?" "What! Why it goes at 4:10 doesn't it?" "No'p; changed time to 4:40 to-day." "There!"she said. "Dang it," was his elegant rejoinder. "I--I " "Smartv!" scornfully, "I don't care, I " "Why didn't you find out when the train left ?" "Because I--I " "I wish to goodness, Fd get those towels you dragged me away from to race aud chase and gallop off down here to hang around waiting for our train. It's too provoking!"--Free Press. A Goose With a > Artificial Leg. There is a goose in this town that walks around on an artificial leg. It is owned by Mr. J. B. Broadwell. The goose had the misfortune to lose a foot somehow. It hopped when it traveled, but could not hop fast enough to keep up with the balance of the geese. Mr. Broadwell took a joint of cane and fit­ ted the leg of the goose in the hollow of the cane, bound it to the leg of the goose with a cord and cut off the lower end of the cane even with the foot that was not injured. The goose now walks with ease, and seemingly without pain. --Alpharetta {Go.) Spec.

HER TRUCK. Maraady and the Children Host iftbra While Longer. "Madam," said a conductor on a Southern railway, speaking to a mat­ ronly-looking woman who h«t just got on the train, "why didn't you put all this trumpery in the baggage car? You've got enough to load a dray." "What!" she snapped. "i)o you reckon I want my stuff stold? I'm going to see ray daughter and--look out, don't tread on them eggs--going to see my daughter and am going to take her something to eat. Laws a massy, she did marry the most shiftless man I ever did set eyes on. Here I've got a ham-- and it would do you a power of good to see Marandv ana the children eat hnm. I " V "That's all right, madam; no doubt your daughter and her children are passionately devoted to ham, and I should no doubt enjoy seeing them ap­ pease their appetites, but the rules of tlm railroad company forbid the taking up of two seats by one person. So you'll have to let this stuff be moved to the baggage car." "Now jest let me tell you what it is, Mister, it won't be good lor the man th at lays hands on my truck. I have been scrimpin' and workin' too long to get enough necessaries to take to Ma- randy and the children to let anybody steal them. Go on away and let me alone." "Madam, I must----" "Lookout there, you'll mash that batter. Mercy on me, I never did see such a man. What I've got here may not be much to you who makes a livin* off the people, but to a woman that has married the most shiftless person in the world it is a deal." "Yes," said the conductor, "and it is a good deal to me, too, let me assure you; so much, indeed, that you'll have to move it." "I tell you that I must ride with my truck. If you take it to the baggage car I'll go there, too. What, you talk to me about takin' any risks when no longer than three years ago I lost a parasol and a handkerchief on this very road. If you say I may go into the baggage car, you may move my truck." "J am sorry, madam, but passengers are not allowed in the baggage car." "Then my truck shan't go there." The conductor called a brakeman and told him to move the "plunder." The old woman protested. The brakeman laid hold of the ham. The old lady whipped out a case knife from a lunch basket and told him to move off, The brakeman remarking that he could not help having a keen interest in his own welfare, did move ofi. The conductor came back and said that he would have her arrested for assault with intent to kill. "You may do that as soon as you please," she answered, "but I am going to stay by my truck. W'y if I was to lose all this, Marandy and the children never would forgive me. I'll tell you what I'll do. Yoc nut up $2 as a guar­ antee that my truck be safe, and you may take it to the baggugc car." "All right," said the conductor, "rather than to have any trouble, Pi! do that," He handed her $2 and her track was taken to the baggage car. The train stopped at a station several miles down "the road, and when it started again, the conductor noticed the woman was gone. He went to the bag­ gage car and found that her truck was still there. "That's strange," said he. "Let's look into this trumpery." They examined the "track" and fonnd a block of wood and a lot of sawdust.-- Arkanxaw Traveler. Sans* Heetclaees. Fncle Sam has a vast collection of the Jewels of savages.

He Couldn't Fool th* Baby. "No, I can't stay any longer," he said with determination. "What difference does an hour or so make now?" asked a member of the party.

The craze collecting postage stamps has somewhat abated and will probably remain quiet until some one gets another generation enthused in the matter. A man who once had a large business in buying and selling can­ celed stamps says that like Othello, his occupation is gone. The last boom | in the stamp business was caused by a par­ agraph, originally published in a Mass­ achusetts paper, stating that an old lady was trying to collect a million canceled stamps, for which a wealthy friend had agreed to give her a thousand dollars. In gcing from one paper to another the item was fatally twisted until it was finally announced that a million can­ celled stamps was worth a thousand dollars. Then there was a rush for canceled stamps and the dealers did a good business for a time. There is al­ ways a slight demand tor foreign stamps as curiosities, and the price of some old issues on account of their scarcity, run up to startling prices, and equal the price for rare coins. A 1'rofltable BoHineae. Stamp collectors who have not stud­ ied the history of stamps are often sur­ prised at the number of different issues that are used by comparatively insigni­ ficant governments. It is difficult and expensive to secure a complete cel!ec- tion of stamps of the Central American republics. Brazil and Peru have all kinds of issues, vhile even the Spanish stamps used to be continually changed. This was done entirely in the interest of the stamp collectors. There is a firm in America that used to supply stamps to these governments free of cost, on condition that the issue should be changed twice a year, and that all un­ sold stamps should be returned. The supply could thus be controlled and a fancy price put on the absolute issues. The extent of the traffic in rare stamps can be appreciated from the fact that these speculators have made thousands of dollars annually after paving all ex­ penses.--St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A Cat lu a Predicament. A gentleman was passing near Hongh- tdu square in Lynn, Mass., just after a storm, and discovered a cat ensconced on the stringer of a wooden fence in a sheltering angle. He called the atten­ tion of a neighbor to it, and together, thinking that perhaps the cat was freez­ ing to death, they proceeded to stir it op. The cat got up, .and, in attempting to jump off the fence hung suspended like an icicle by the end of its caudal appendage, which was frozen to the fence. The animal had crawled in for shelter from the storm, the heat of the body melting the snow and then chill- in k enough to freeze the tail to the fence. As it hung suspended, the gen­ tleman began to look' around for warm water or some other means of thawing out; but before they succeeded the weight of the body caused it to break its hold, and the cat was released from its strange predicament Artificial Babies.
