"I am dyeing, Egypt, dyeing," warbled Cieo bole as elm dropped a while shawl of Shetland wool into a kettle of seething scarlet dye and pressed it dawn sith the broom handle. Her tice was flushed from bending over the hot btove, sod all herabinicg lUrk.Lair had fallen down about her bhcalders. ' Heavens, Geo, what a opectacle yoa are!" exclaimed her cousin, Dor.a Linden ecterirjgtbe kitchen with ecru Norfork jacket thrown over her arm. "What do you suppose Marc Vancouver would say if he saw yoa now ? lie is so ery fasti dious, you know." 44 she?" said Cleo unconcernedly. "Yoa know he is," answered iKjria, impatiently. "Only Bee how yoa are staining your dress ; and your bands won't be lit to be seen for a month." Is that all you have to say, cousin 7" asked Cieo, serenely nnsing the new scarlet shawl. uSo, Cieo," after a slight pau, "tell me, was there really anything between you and Hamer Wylde last season?" Cieo flushed to the tips of her tari and bent ever the rinsing tub. "I was engaged to Mr. Wylde, Doris, if that is what you mean." ' Engaged '" A dead-white pallor shut down over Doris Linden's face, and one daintily gloved hand cla.ched spasmodi cally at the region of her heart. "Don't look like that, dear," and Cleo sprung to her side, alarmed. "It was nothing nothing but a mi-Cake. Hamer fancied he loved me. I believed his alTectioas were reciprocated. W discov ered the mistake in time, thank God, to avoid a lifetime of misery. I am engag ed to Marc Vancouver now, Doris." "Are you sure, sure Hamer never real ly loved you burning eyes, ?" demanded Doris, her fixed opon her cousin's face. "Haven't I told you it was a mistake on both sides?" said Cleo, evasively. Doris gazed steadily at the averted eyes. Then ehe turned and left the kitchen without further words. Cieo mechanically rinsed and hung out the shawl, removed the kettle of dye from the ttove, took off her checked apron, fastened cp her hair and went op stairs in a brown study to change her dress, but a caller coming at that moment prevented her from carrying out her de sign, and it was so late after that she de cided to wear the same dress the remain der of the evening. Doris came in fr jen her walk about tea time and went to her room pleading a si k he&dach. Cleo noticed bow white she was, and pitied her most sincerely. "Ought I to have told her ail ? ' she asked herself, uneasily. "Somehow bhe looked so white and strange when I men tioned the old engagement I could net bring uyself to give her another shock. Of course, If she has really fallen in love with that scoundrel, I must tell her soon er or later. But not to-night not, not to-night," An hear later, as Cleo was scaled at the piano, allowing her fingers to wander dreamily over the keys, the door opened and a gentleman stood before her, white and grave. "Marc 1" she cried, reading an nndefi cable something in bis face that caased her blood to turn to ice in her veins. "Oh, Marc, wl it has happened V ThegasligLt fcil opon her frightened upturned face and slender figure in the dark tine merino dress. Marc Vancouver turned a shade paler and starling forward, pointed to some splashes of scarlet opon her sleeves. "Oh, Cleo! Cleo!" he groaned dispar ingly. "Child! child! how could yoa do it!" Cleo flushed uncomfortably. So he was fastidious, as Doris had said, and the knowledge that eje had been dyeicg shocked this handsome lover of hers. "It had to be dore, Marc," she said, looking at him defiantly, "I could not endure it any longer." Poor Cleo 1" Hedrcpped his haggard lace in his hands, while she stood there in astonish ment. Had Marc gone mad ? Presently he raised his head and look ed at her. 1 "I never dreamed yoa loved him," he said, hollowly. "I thought your heart as well as your hand was mine. When yoa fled from the grove an hoar ago yoa never noticed that yoa dropped your jacket. I picket it op and was about to follow yoa, when a groan from the grove yoa had just left caased me to tarn in that direction instead, and there I found him." "What!" gasped Cleo, sUring at Mm. "Yoa yoa " The words died opon her lips in a long moan of intolerable agony as a fearful soppicion entered her mind. "Yea, my poor child, I was the one to find Hamer Wylde. Life ceased just as I reached him. I believe that I was the only witness, and yoa may trust me, Cleo, to keep your secret. Whatever madness, whatever torture drote yoa to it, I am certain yoa knew not what yoa di'L Destroy that tell-tale dress at once, as I have destroyed that j scket, and G id pardon and pity yoa. My lost, lost love, good-bye forever." Another moment and Cleo Dale was alone with only one horrid fact branded 1 npon her sooi as with a red-hot iron. 1 set ESTABLISHED 1827. Her cousin Doris had worn her Nor fork jacket when she went for that walk. "Cleo, Cleo, was that Marc Vancouver? nave they found it T" It was Doris Linden's voice. White and trembling she stood on the threshold in a white 1 neglige wrapper, looking like a veritable ghost. Ceo sprang forward 'and caught her. as she reeled dizzily toward the walL "Oh, Cleo," murmured the pallid lip. "hold me fast. I am so horribly afraid." A gasping breath and she lay uncon scious in her cousin's arms. Brain fever set in and it was weeks be fore Doris Linden awoke to reason. Cieo watched her through alL She would allow no one aave tbe doctor to enter the room, fearing lest the wild in coherent words which fell from her cousin's lips should reveal that terrible secret, the clew to which she only held. Doris talked of the grove, the broken, tangled shmbbery, and blood, blood everywhere. "It is on my hands 1" she would shriek gazing with horror-stricken eyes at her fingers. And then Geo would soothe her with gentle words until she fell asleep once more. When finally Doris Linden drifted from the gates of death bac k: to this world, the first fall of snow lay white and pure over the grave of Hamer Wylde. No clew bad been found to his assassin, and the village had subsided into its ac customed calm once more. Marc Vani-cnver kept his promise, but Geo writhed under the conviction that he believed her to have murdered her old lover. Never mind ! She would bear all for Doris Linden's sake. And this reflection strengthened her fainling spirit Doris, since her convalescence, had not mentioned Hamer Wylde's name ; but she had marked her cousin's altered Kxiks, and drawn her own conclusions. "Have yoa broken with Marc, Cleo ?" she asked listlessly one day. And Cieo's sadden pallor, and involun tary start, as she answered "Yea," gave her all the information she needed. The dext day she sent a message to Marc Vancouver. Tbe next night he called at the Dale cottage and was asbered into the parlor, where the cousins sat alcne, Cleo, who a as at the piano, gave a low cry at the tight of her lover the lover who in his heart believed her a murder ess, but Dsris motioned him to a seat near herself, and plunged nervously into the task before her. "Marc," she s tid tremulously, I have sent for you that I may rectify a fatal mistake. Yoa believe that Cleo killed Hamer Wylde." Her voice wavered and broke over that name ; then she continued more stead i- iy: "She is innocent of the crime. I" "Doris r cried Geo in agony. "I know who committed that muder, Marc." went on Doris. "It was" "No, Doris no!" implored her cousin, throwing her arms about her slight form. "It was his maniac wife," finished the girl, with a shudder at the remembrance. Cieo's arms fell to her sides. Her di lated eyes turned upon. Marc Vancouver's pale countenance. But he was banging breathlessly opon Doris Linden's every word. "It was I whom yoa saw hurrying from the grove," resumed Doris. "I dropped Geo? jacket, which I had bor roned when I went to raeet Hamer at the tryst He was just telling me how much he loved me," with a catch of her breath, "when shecama and drove a knife ioto his heart Ob.it was hor rible! horrible! Ha struggled with her, but she plunged the knife aain into his heart. The blood spurtted over my jack ed, and I turned and tied from the spot I went straight to my rooTi. I wanted to be alone to think. I I thought I lov ed him! I never knew he had a wife nntil she subbed him and he cried: 'Lydia, my wife,' and fell down at her feet I meant to tell Cieo all wheal heard your voice and came downstairs. Then came my fainting tit and subse quent illness. "And the stains on Geo'a dreas?" queried Marc, huskily. "Were splashes of crimson dye," whisp ered Doris, failing back in her chair in a dead swoon. The st-ain had been too much for her ; and Geo and her lover bore her tender ly to her on room. "Can yoa forgive me, Geo?" asked Marc and they stood together in the par lor half an aoar later. "I have nothing to forgive. The cir cumstantial evidence was very strong," answered the girl with a rare smile. And she laid her haa J on his breast and had a "good cry." The wound in Djria' heart ja ha'el over, and a year after her cousin's mar riage she, too, wedded a good and truly noble man. Tbe body of Hamer Wylde's unforta cate wif was found, a month after his death, coaling in the river near Ashland. It was tbe knowledge of his former mar riage which had ended the engagement between himself and Cleo Dale, There was none to mourn over his ontimely death, for Hamer Wylde was an unmiti gated v Lilian, in word and deed. Learn a Trade. Young man, yoa can't do it Yoa can't do it You can't make your way through this world without work, unless your way is cut very short. Men have tried before yoa. They have loafed around the street corners, have smoked cigars, told windy stories, drank whisky, and all that, bat did not succeed. Yoa are probably no smarter than other boys. Wits alone ill not bring success in life ; yoa had better learn a trade of some kind rather than become a chronic, de spised loafer, producing nothing for your self "nothing to help the world along." The world has little use for boys who have no ambition, and who are not will ing to poll off their coats and earn their way to fame and fortane.

The funny man of the Dttroit Fret Prm mast have caught this withapbunny- graph : A very anxious young farmer, rijged out in his Sunday clothes, and his red necktie visible half a half a mile away, called at the Twelfth street police station the other day and asked the sergeant ia charge if he wold answer a legal question for him. "Perhaps so what is it?" was there- ply. "Well, what is breach of promise ?" "It is going back on the girl yoa are engaged to marry." "Bat what is an engagement in law? "Leading the girl to think yoa intend to marry her." "Haven't yoa got to ask her to have yoa right out ?" "No. What is your cise? How far did yoa go V "Well, I said to her I thought we'd make a good team if hitched, op, but that wasn t nothing." 4 It wasn't h? It was the same thing as asking her to be your wife. Ever call her pet names ?" "I think I called her Birdie a few times." "Ever write any loving letters to her?" "I began my letters: 'Dariing One, I think." "Well, yoa are stuck, and if yoa want to go to State prison for fourteen years you just try to give that girl the shake ! Better go right home and marry her." "Jupiter! but I've got to! I kinder thought she had the lift on me, but want ed to be sure. I've offered her a hoes to give up my letters and quit claim on me, but she woatdn't do it I'll add twenty- four saw logs and four cords of wood, and she still refuses I'll have to toe the chalk line. So caliin' a gal B.nl.e is ask in' her to marry yoa ?" "About the same thing." "Saltpeter! but if that's the cae I'll have about twenty of 'em in my hair. Which street leads to Canada ?

"Pat," said the Eal'ishjun, "I want a yard of meat" Pat looked al him, and without mak ing any remark walked over to a barrel w hich was concealed under the counter, and picking out three pig's feet, laid them on the counter. "Hello, Pat," said the astonished Eng lishman, "what does this mean?" "Och," says Pat, "didn't you ask me for a yard of mate, and ain't there three feet in a yard any 'ay V Wonderful Pencil. The world is full of wonders for those who are simple-hearted enough to see them. "Uirper'4 Yuunj Pt .-y,t" reports an excellent example. Poily was drawing pictures on the slate for 3 year old Ralph.

Hi otp q I P Washington at Braddoctc Let oj now pass over Washinbton's ser vices in behalf of Virginia during 17J and 1754, and give some a.xoaat of the Brad loc k disaster. Oa July 9, 17o-", the troops under that British otScer forded the Monocgahela, and in close rank, glittering and beautiful, marched on to attack the French fort. Firiug was soon heard in front ; and yells and warhoops were heard from an unseen enemy, who, sheltered by trees, poured a deadly fire opon the van, and threw it back cpon the main body. Here Washington besought Brad dock to let his men break rank and fight the enemy from behind trees ; bat he would not consent that they should fight except in platoons. The Virginia companies did all the actual fighting, an 1 according to Washington, ia his letter to Governor Dinwiddle : "Behaved like men and died like soldiers." The regulars continued massed together, and their tir ing, though harmless to the enemy, was fearfully fatal to the Virginians. Indeed, it is said that Braddock himself, who re ceive! a wound in the shoulder and breast, was shot by one of his own sjI diers. When the regulars saw their comrades, who who had fallen toma hawked before their eyes, and knew that their general was wounded, "they broka and ran as sheep before hounds, leaving the artillery, ammunition, provisions. baggage, and, in short, everything a prey to the enemy. After the battle began Washington role fearlessly over the field carrying orders and trying to animate soldiers. He tried to bring up the artillery, bat tbs mea would not sorve it though to insp re them, be aimed and fired one piece hi-n- self. A3 he rode fiercely through the carnage, two horses were shot under hi;a and four bullets pierced his coat, Waea the rou. became general Washington gathered the fjgitives and brought away the wounded general. Four days afr the battle Braddock died, and was buried in the road ; and by the glare of midnight -i torches Washington read over him the beautiful service of the Eag'ish Church. After the burial he had a cannon trained several times over his grave, lest the In dians might find it mutilate his remains. Washington is the only one who came off with glory from the dlsastrouj field of Monongahelx The English and Vir ginia troops were about 1,3 ) well armed men. The French numbered less thaa 3, with about 5cX) Indians allies, all under the command of Beaujeaa, a Cana dian. The loss of the English and Vir ginians was aoout in ki.leJ an J as many wounded. Beaujeau and some of his oihoers were killed, and a limited number of the French and savages were killed or wounded. Colonel Dunbar, on reaching Cumberland with the British regulars, abandoned the Western fron tier to the defence of Virginia and went to Philadelphia to go into winter quar ters; and Washington returned toMo-int Vernon to recruit his health, which had been affected by exposure and over exer tion. Cirl3 And Their Mothers. This little bit of womanly counsel is to be given to the army of yonng girls who are sweet and livable, yet who are jut a trirle inclined to think they know more than their mother an 1 do not heed her advice or give her their unbounded confi dence. They love her dearly, bat she wasn't born at the end of the Nineteenth century and her ideas in e onseq-ience are apt to bs recorded by them as somewhat old fogy. With the afvrnp'.ioa of sipj.ior knowledge and a frevlo n of p ech that to foreigners seems absolutely hx-ting. they o;en!y correct her pronunciation or her grammer, and are more prone in their sixteenth or eighteenth-year worldly wise way to fail to regard her advice, bj cauae, p-;rh aps, it is not framed in langu aB'e as elegant us they think it ought to be. Now, dear knowing oces, jtist a few words kiolly meant and sentient with truth listen to your mother at ail t;.n.-s as the ancients did to the voice of the or acle. Gi vs to her your fullest and freest confidence. She is the one who loves you most, and is, therefore, best able b) alvl-? you.

Born of love and hope, of ecstasy and pain, of agony and fear, of tears and joy dowered with the wealth of two united hearts held 'n happy arms, with lips opon life's drifted front, blue veined and fair, where pertect peace finds perfect form rocked by willing feet and wooed to shadowy shores of sleep by siren mother singing soft anl low looking with wondrous wide and startled eyes at common things of life aal day taaght by want and wish and contact with the things that touch the dimpled flesh of babes lured by light and flame and charmed by color's wondrous robes, learning the use of bands and feet, and by the love of mimicry beguiling to otter speech releasing prisoned thought from crabbed and curious marks oa soiled and tattered leaved puzzling the brain with crooked numbers and their changing, tangled worth and so through years of alternate day and night, until the cap tive grows familiar with the chains and walls and limitations of life. And time runs on in sun and shade, until the one of all the world is wooed and won, and all the lore of love ia taught and learned again. Again a home iabu.lt, with a fair chamber wherein faint dreams, like cool and shadowy vales, divide the billowed hours of love. Again the miracle of birth the pain and joy, the kiss of welcome and the crad'e e-Eg, drowning the drowsy prattle of a babe.
