Stop a min ute; I'm going your way and I'll walk home with you." "I'm in a hurry, Job !" stammered the tall young girl whom Job Lindley had addressed. "But I won't detain you x second '." catching up the change and the parcel from the counter of the little general' shop which serve.! for a grocery, dry goods emporium, flour mill and pc stoflice for the dwellers in Succothville. 'I'm ready now." Libby Morse was a slender, bright-eyed girl of IS. Job Lindley was the village drusrist, a quick, keen-faced, young fel low, with a healthy glow on his cheeks. They walked briskly along over the hard "frozen winter roads, in the gray twilight. "Were yon getting; anything at the store?" Job asked. "Have you any bun- i dies for me to carry?" Libby laughed bitterly. "I was asking for letters," said she. "There were none for me. I didn't much expect there would be. Luck don't come tome:" "Luck !" Job looked at her in a per plexed way. "I hope, Libby I do hope you haven't been persuaded into buying tickets' in the Breezetown lottery !" "Nonsense !" retorted Libby. "Your uncle gives you all the spending money you want, don't he T "He irives tue all I ask f r," Libby an-i-rered adding, within herself: "And lit W enough that is!" "You're nof discontented at living with him r "Not especially." "Because, Libby, if you don't like it where you arc " "Ob, Job, there comes Alice Mark ham!" hastily interrupted the girl. "I've got a message for Alice. You'll excuse me, won't you ? Good-bye !" Job Lindley stood puzzled, iu the mid dle of the road, watching Libby'g figure vanish against the yellow bar that still marked the spot w here the sun had gone down half an hour ago. "It's queer," said he. "I'm hanged if I understand it! Every time I get near that subject she slips away from me, ex actly as if she understood what I was go ing to say. It's like trying to catch the waters of a running brook in one's hand. To me there's no girl in all Succothville; like Libby Morse, and yet I can't for the life of me tell whether she cares for me or not." In the meantime Libby had joined Al ice Markham, the young district school teacher, whose week it was, in "boarding around," to go to Mr. Morse's. "Oh, Alice," said she, breathless with the haste she had made, "I've had such an eft-ape !" "Child, what on earth do you mean V said Miss Markham, who, though she was scarcely a month older than Libby, in actual time, had the dignity of at least thirty summers. Perhaps it was as much o ing to the retponsibilities of her position aa to nat ural temperament, but still it was there the sober, charming sedatenesB of a young qneen. "I think, Alice," said Libbv, in a mys terious whisper, "ths.t Job Lindley wants to ask me to marry him. I've just been walking with hiui.'' -Well and if he does V "It's such nonsense." said Libby, slightly accelerating her swift, elastic pace. "I don't see that at all," said composed Alice. "Every girl is the better for a good, sensible husband," Fiddlesticks !" cried Libby. "As if a girl with an ambition like me wanted to be tied down to live in the back parlor behind a druggist's counter!" "An ambition?'' repeated Mifs Mark ham. "Ah, I haven't told you !" cried exult ant Libby, dancing up and down until her feet sounded like tiny castaneta against the frozen ground. "But I have an ambition two orlhree of them! Shall I tell you what they are, Alice?"' "If you can leave off flitting along like a will-o'-the-wisp, certainly," said Alice, twining one arm around Libby 's slender young waist. "Weil, you see," explained Libby, low ering her voir to a confidential mystery, although there was only the frost bright ened stars and the yellow rim of light above the western woods to overbear her communication, "Uncle Thomas hasn't beea very successful with bis farm of late and as he has nine children of bis owrj, he naturally feels that I am a burden to him. And he bints that I ought to be doing something for myself. Now what caa a girl do for herself in Succothville but to go out to service or enter the fac tory or take in plain sewing?" ".Not much else, I must confess, said Miss Markham. "Well," pursued Libby, "I don't fancy any of these three roads to a livelihood. So I have picked oat three other paths tor myself. I hsve been studying up the papers, Alice, and I've written a love story, in competition for the three hun dred dollar prize offered by the Titufield Literary Clarion." "Child, child r cried Alice. What do you know about love !" "As much as other girls, I fancy," said giddy Libby. "I've read about Ophelia and Deadetiioua and Lucia di Lummer meor, and all those classic heroines, and of course one depends a good deal on one's imagination. It wasn't a bad story, I know. Well, that one road. And I set ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY," FEBRUARY 27, 1889. reaJ the statement of the Woman'a Bar ter establishment in New York how they'll pay you for good cake or preserves, or anything of that sort, lesa a trifling commifflion so I aeut a box of plum jam to them, a box that ought to net me $10 at least." "That's number two," smiled Alice. "Excuse me for saying that I have more faith in number two than in number one." "We shall see," nod Jed Libby. "And the third " "Yea," said Alice, encouragingly, "the third " "I answersd an advertisement for a wife," whispered Libby, hanging down j her nrettv head. "Yes. Alice, I did. You j needn't start back in that tragical man ner. Other girls do it. Why shouldn't I ? Stic h a l-atitiful worded advertisement ! A w idower, all alone in the world, sigh ing for sympathy and love a widower of rnfeanavAJitfai!L. , "Libby, you have done wrong," said Alice, with a gravity that impressed ber young companion more than she would hive been willing to confoss. "Well, I've done it, and there's an end of the matter !" said Libbv, with a rebel lious toss of her head. "So there's no use in lecturing me. Uncle Tom shall 8nd out that I'm not entirely without resour ces. A hundred dollars fir the story I be sides all the fame it w ill bring me, Alice,) $10 for the plum jam and there, you see, is enough to buy quite a neat little trous seau for marrying the widower. People don't launch out with Rk dresses and dozens of underclothes, asj they did, and" "Libby," urged Miss Markham, "are yon really in earnest ?" Libby broke out into a jittie hysterical laugh. , J "Alice," said she, "I've thought of nothing else, and dreamed of nothing else for a week. And il l strange so strange that I never haa-e received an answer to any of the three communica tions!" 1 Just then little Tommy, the youngest hope of the house of Morse, came trot ting across the sear meadows. "-Oh, took here, Lib !" said he. The storekeeper be's found a Ut nf letters as got hid away under the raealbags, where they was sortin' the mail on Thursday. They calculate as Pete, the puppy, done it he's chuck lull of mischief and tricks, and the storekeeper he give me a lemon ball if Td take these to you. I was lick in the inside of the molasses keg with Johnnie Piper and Sam Stokes, under the nnter" Libby grasped the letters, and even by that imperfect light Alice could see the snow and crimson chasing each other across her face. They were already inside the little gate, and Libby caught at he compan ion's arm with nervous haste. "Let us go up stairs to your room. Al ice." aha whispered. "There i always such a swarm of children in the keeping room, one never can have moment to one's self, liesides, there is only that lamp in the house, and I cant read by candle light." Side by side, in the school teacher's apartment, by the light of the flickering, strong scented kerosene lamp, Libby and Alice opened the letters. The first, whose envelope bore the stamp of the Titusfield Literary Clarion, was brief enou;h. The editor regretted that Miss Morse's mmuscript had prov ed unsuited to his columns, but would re turn it to her addre on the receipt of sufficient postage stamps to defray the cost of transportation by mail. "There's an end of that !" cried Libby, very passionately, tearing the letter in two and flinging its fragments on the ground. The second was an elegantly written note on scented and monograined paper from the Secretary of the Woman's Bar ter establishment, stating that Miss Mor..kind favor, per the Backuwaxen K; In tad Express, had been sampled. and had unfortunately proved to be below the standard which the establishment had set tip. The box awaited her orders, and Mrs. treratdns Geoffreys remained hers truly, etc., etc. "It's all nonsense !" cried breathless Libby. "Standard of excellence, indeed! It's all favoritism. There's a ring I know there is! The whole thing ought ta lie exposed through the newspapers." The third letter was brief enough. It was from a well known lawyr in New York, stating to Miss Elizabeth Morse that her communication, together with numerous others, had been found among the effect of a notorious swindler, who had fled from justii-e alout a week pre viously. It was returned to her with a well meant warning to avoid such traps in the future. Most of his dupes, it was stated, bad inclosed money, rings and photographs to him, but she was fortun ately among the exceptions. Poor Libby ! She burst into angry tears, with her head bowed on Alice's shoulder. "h, Alice," she cried, "what a fool I have leen !" And Miss Markham was endeavoring to console her, when Tommy came clat tering up the stairs to shout at the key hole that "supper was ready, and inarm had been frying flapjtcks, and there was some real maple molasses on the table, better than that on the inside of the keg at Billing' store !" , i Alice went down. She knew that It would give mortal offense to Mm. Morse's house rifely pride t neglect this sum mons ; but Libby flung a hood over her bead and rushed out into the cool night air. "I couldn't speak to any one just now," she pleaded. "You'll keep my secret, Al ice, won't you?" Just there at the gate stood Job Lind ley, a black shadow against the starlight. "Libby!" It was all that he said, but the one word was so full of devotion, allegiance, tender appreciation, that Libby atopped involuntarily. It was a healing balm to her hurt spirit and wounded pride. "I was coming to ask you to go to Swope's Corners wtth me- to-night," said he. "There's to be a concert there, and but is anything the matter, Libby V he asked, checking himself in mid-explanation. "Yes, Job, I should like to go," aaid Libby. It's very good of yon to aak rue." . "But you're in some sort of trouble. Libby T exclaimed Job. "You've been crying. Has your uncle been crosa to you ? Because, Libby you needn't atay another day under his roof unlet a yon choose. If you'll come to me and be my wife, Libby, there a nothing you need ask for in vain. It may sound abrupt to you, this love story of mine, but ita been trem bling on my lips every time I've seen you for three months." It was a strange, short wooing, bat when they came into the noisy, cheerful room, Libby had promised to be honest Job's wife.

The bulletin of the Paris Geographical Society, which has just been issued, con tains an account by M. Jules Man-on of certain further researcbea which lie Ita made into the origin of the name "Amer ica." As far back as 1873 ho published a paper on the some topic, which attracted much attention at the time, and h' has since devoted much labor to an investi gation of early historical documents in which the new world is named. The popular notion that America wai so called from the Christain name of Auierico Vespucci is, be says, wholly un founded, ami he sums up bis conclusions, in this way : 1. Ameriue is the Indian name of the mountains between Juigalpa and Libertad, in the Province of Chon tales, which separate Lake Nicaragua., from the Mosquito coast. Tho word in the Maya signifies " the windy country," or " the country where the wind blows always." 2. The Christain name of Ves pucci was Alberico in Italian and Span ish, Alhericus in Latin. 3. This particu lar name is subject to an enormous num ber of variations, as the nomenclature and calendars of Italian and Spanish saints of the period show ; but nowheie is there any such variation aa Americti', Amerrigo, Aniergio, Almeeigo, etc. and none of these is either a diminutive or a variation in use in Italy, Spain or France for Alberico or Alliert. 4. Before lo7. when Jean Basin, of Saint Pie, publish ed the name, it is not to be found in any printed document, nor even in any niun- nscrlpt of recognized and incontestible authority. M. Matron claims that his theory of native origin for the Dam America ban been accepted in Spain, Spanish Amer ica, ami, with some exceptions, in the United States; in France, Germany and! Italy it has excited doubt and surprise, but in the last named he has the sup port of the eminent Turin geographer, M. Gnido Cora. There Is no doubt that Columbus ami Vespucci went along the Mosquito coast at the feet of the Sierra Amerique, and that the name was re ported by the officers and men of these expeditions and Schoner, the geographer declared in lol that the name was al ready popular in Europe. It isbevond vnestion that one edition of Vespucci's letter on his third voyage has the name Amerigo in the place of the Christain name ; nineteen editions had Alhericus and subsequent Italian editions had Alberico. The one with Amerigo on the title page wag published in l.)o, but M. Marcon suggests that tain was never intended to be a variation of Alberico, but rather an adaptation ' Amerrive, a name already known and ap-j tlis cor,venti,,r, was assembled to ad plied to the New World, to Vespucci .! j yanoe no inijvi(Iuli interest nor promote name to Ciattnjnish him, as we say now J "Chinese Gordon," to distinguish th i particular Gordon by auggesting one of! his irreatest featn.

How it was i lone will be, seen in the proceedings, j Weeks and Iravo led the movement, and whenever a Third Party prohibition man made a move it was promptly met by Weeks or some other opnent and promptly counteracted or defeated. It was remarked in convention that unless all signs fail there will be bad blood all through the campaign. THS EJHTTIVE COMMITTEE MEETIMi. The Executive Committee of the State met in session last niiit in the Y. M. C. A. hall, and was presided over by President Fulton, of the Constitution.!! Amendment Association. A committee was appointed to prepare an order of business, which reported the order for to-day's session. The meeting was ebar- acterized by a great deal of wrangling in a contest for supremacy between the Third Party Prohibitionists and the Constitutional Prohibitional Amendment j Association, in which the former had the , bjst of it. j TO-DW'S SESSION. j There was an hour's devotional exer cises this morning before the meeting was called to order, and the five hundred delegates sang with a will and prayed fervently. At 11 o'clock President Ful ton called the meeting to order, and im mediately liepresntutive Dravo named General Harrv White, of Indiana, for temporary chairman, which was second ed by Frank Mautor. Walter Kaullman named Joshua L. Bailey, of Philadel phia, and it was seconded by lie v. Caley. Just here wana wrangle as to howlthey should vote, the Constitutional Amend ment Association wanting White and de manding a risincr vote. On voting JCrslK WHITE WAS ELEfTFO and Mr. Bailey and the Third Party Prohibition program, prepared last night was knocked ont. Ir. Boyle, Represen tative Dravo, Jos. V. Weeks and Joshua L. Bailey were turned to conduct Judge White to the chair, but Bailey didn't materialize. While the committee, was hunting Judge White the convention sang " Hold the Fort " with !a vim. At the clse a delegate w Anted to reconsider the vote by which Jud je .White was elected and take up Bailey, but he was declared out of order. At this point the committee appeared with Judge White, who was greeted with loud applause. Presi lent Fulton said ad ought to be glad to meet the man who throttled the liquor tratfij in Indiana county. This was the signal for another burst of ap plause as Judge White stepped forward J ma.le a brief speech. He said that the success of any merely selfish cause. ln this asemllaje there onlit to lie no rivalry nor jealousies, except that arises from the thought of how each can best ; serve the grett cause. We ar here to i fight for the the success of the right, and ! it is proper that it should start here at j the capital of the State founded by a : man who was a areat apostle of temper- aut a. You meet here to wake war not j upon the saloon keep?r, but u;n the j sxlixm. Are the majority of Pennsyl- vania voters with you? Yes Yes i Why, of course they are. There is noth- j ing impossible to him who wills if lie ! wills on the right side. Nothing can prevent a victory. Somebody has said that if the amendment is pissed it can not beenfotced.

The time is here when public men must speak out. Wc do not want j the light covered by the bushel. Adopt I the practi s and the virtues of, the poli- j ticians: Heaven helpi him who helps j himself. Judge White read some figures j of the votes in the larger cities in 1H."4 on j the questi,)n 0f prohibition, showingthat Philadelphia and Allegheny counties voted for prohibition, but it was defeat ed in the small districts. "Beaten by Berks county," shouted Pr. Hargrave. It was defeated by a'xmt .'OO in the State and Berks county gave lVKK) ! against it. In closing Judge White j made an eloquent appeal for all to work. PECMA.NCNT Oi:t;M.ATIoS. Pr. Boyle moved that a committee of fifteen be appointed to report on per- ma ner. t organization. Mr. Kauff.nan moved to amend that one from each organization be appointed on permanent officers. Mr. Weeks kicked against Kauffinan's amendment, and said that organizations should be sunk.

A delegate in the gallery moved to lay 1 t ie whole matter on the table, and the vote on this was soclose that only astand up and count of noses showed that the gallery delegates motion had carried and the Third Party Prohibitionists were again knocked out, by a vote of 176 yeas to Vi2 nays.

Sheridan and Miles went to Fort Reno to quiet a disturbance among the Cheyenne Indians ; I was in the party. It is certainly a beautiful region for the agriculturist, and it is no wonder the lands are coveted. The soil is rich and well watered, the country is rolling prairie, the climate is mild and equable ; the grass in summer is 'belly deep,' and two railroads are no built through the heart of the vast unoccupied domain. Anything can be grown there that can be grown in Missouri or Arkansas. It would be the finest fruit ceuntry in the world. At Fort Reno peaches, pears, and plums are raised w hich cannot be equal ed outside of California. The most mag nificent corn I ever saw is raised in Okla homa by the few half-breeds allowed to till the soil. There is no snow, very lit tle frost, ami never a sign of a blizzard.
