BUMILLER, Editor. VOL. 59. Pretty Mrs.Graham. That is what I always call her to this day, and in spite of all that's come and gone, it's her true title, for I do believe she was the prettiest creature I evor laid eyes on. And she was dressed with such ex. quisite taste, too, it set off her dark bright beauty so well, and sho was a dainty, childlike little thing—why,even Dick couldn't help acknowledging her beauty though he didn't take to her from the first. But I thought him wrong in that, much as I trusted to his judgment, for you see, Dick—well, Dick Fraser and my humble self have been betrothed for several years, and next spring,after Bessie marries, why, I am going to keep house with Dick. But that isn't my story. When our dear parents died they left Bessie and me this fine old-fashioned home, a good supply of solid, old-fash ioned furniture and silver and house hold linen, a good old-fashioned ser vant who had lived with us since Bess was a baby, eighteen years ago, and very littlj ready money. So, as we could uot give up our home, or be parted, we looked about us for two or thiee good old-fashioned boarders who would stay with us all the year round and be able to pay well for a good home. i Well, we foand two, just what we wanted ; Miss Burtou, an elderly maiden lady, and Mrs. Wootton,a wid ow lady, who were glad to escape from the dust and noise of the city, and who were well able to pay good prices for our best rooms. And this they did, only stipulating that we should not take other board ers, but all have a quiet home togeth er. So we were just a houseful of women, you see—not a man on the place, un less we except Tom, the half grown boy who milked the cow and teuded the garden and drove our little carriage for us. We had plenty of applications from summer boarders but we never took any until pretty Mrs. Graham came. It was a melting hot day, when a car liage brought her to ray front door, with a lively, black eyed little maid, aud she begged so hard to be taken for just a month or two of the hottest weather, ssying we looked so cool and delightful out there, and she dreaded the hotel so much, that it was hard to resist her. Miss Burton was in the parlor when she called, and she was so fascinated by the little widow's loveliness and liveli ness that she gave consent to her com ing at once. So then we consulted Mrs. Woottou —you remember our agreement with them made it necessary—and she, too, was quite wou over* and so the result was that we made pretty Mrs. Graham an exception, and took her and her lively little maid, Jeannette, into our charmed household. She took possession that very day, coming down with three large trunks from town. She professed herself de lighted with our fine old home and plentiful country fare, and she certain ly delighted us with her beauty, and her bewitching ways, and her lovely toilettes, and her wonderful music. For she made the keys of Bessie's piano almost talk and as Bessie herself was the only player among us, and she but an indifferent one, such a musician was a great treat. Dick came down to take tea on Sun day, as be generally did, (and then he met our new boarder.• After supper I asked him'if be did not think her loyely. "Yes, she is pretty—that can't be denied," be said slowlv "Well, what fault can you find ?" I said, seeing be kept something back. "None, perhaps ; but I don't like her, and I wish you hadn't taken her, Mary. I believe she is a little adven turess, that's all." "Why, Dick, her references were unexceptionable, and she is a member of St. John's church, and a teacher in tbe Sabbath school." "Is she ? Well I hope she is a good 0D6," said Dick dryly, and there the subject dropped. *Sbe bad been with us about six weeks, when one Saturday afternoon I received from our business agent eight hundred dollars, the proceed of the in terest in a coal mine belonging to Bes sie and me. It wa3 too late to take it to the bank, where our cash was deposited, and I, being half unwilling to keep so much money two nights in a lonely house full of women, felt strongly inclined to go over to the village and deposit it there till Monday morning. But, on second thought, I made up my mind that was nonsense—the after noon was warm, I was busy, and the money would be safe enough in my own drawer. MILLHEIM, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 11., 1885. So 1 counted the notes to Le sure they were right, locked them in a little j casket, and locked them in my desk. As I opened the door of my room to go down-stairs, 1 met Jeannette, who said she was just going to knock. Mr 9. (1 rah am was going to walk over to the village-could alio serve mo in any ' way V I thanked her, Slid I would bo glad if she would call at the post-ofllee, and went my way to see about tea. The next morning wo all went to church except our servant Emma, who remaiusd at home to haye the dinuer ready. In the afternoon, Emma wished to go out, and as I did not like the house to remain quite alone, I remained at home myself. Having a slight head ache 1 lay down upon the sofa in the cool pari ir and took a quiet nap. I sprang up as soon as I was awakened, and went up stairs to arrange my hair meeting pretty Mrs. Graham coming down. "I did noi kuow you were at home," said 1. "I have this moment come in and taken off my hat," she said with a sweet smile, "and I was comiug down for a drink of ice water." I heard her go into the parlor, where she sat for a long time playing grand, old church music, aud singing softly in tones so sweet that it made me think of heaveu aud angels' music. Next morning as we were gathering at the break fast-table. Miss Bui ton came in, pale and frightened, saying her room had been eu tered during the night by a burglar, and her watch and chain and all the valuable jewelry ta ken. We all sprang up in consternation, and went to her room, where we found the window which opened upon the roof of a veranda partly raised and the shutters pushed open as if surely indi cating the way the burglar bad enter ed. Miss Burton had slept soundly and heard nothing she said, but bad noticed her window when she first woke, and upon searching, found all her jewels gone. "We might all have been murdered ' in our beds 1" cried Mrs. Wootton,pale and trembling, while pretty Mrs. Gra ham fell to crying like a child, declar ing she would not dare to stay another night under a roof where there was no man in the house. "Did any of the rest lose any thing ?" asked Bessie. "I haven't noticed in my room," said Mrs. Wooton : "let us all go and look." And to our rooms we went, I open ing my bureau with a sinking heart. It was as I feared—my casket, which had only contained the money, was re ally gone ! Some unaccountable impulse prompt ed me to couceal my loss from the rest when I joined them again, and I hard ly noticed that Mrs. Graham stopped crying and looked queerly at me when I reported that my tilings were all right. And then she fell to crying again, saying hers were all right, too, but stie never doubted that it would be her turn next, and she dared uot stay there auothei night. Mrs. Wootton reported that every ar ticle of jewelry and all the money she had in her purse were gone, and Bessie said the same. Tliis was a serious case, and we were at a loss what to do. I said I should inform the village inspector and then go up to town and consult Mr. Fraser and a lawyer, and I begged them to do nothing till I came back. They all promised, but pretty Mrs. Graham said I must come back before night, for she knew she was a dreadful little coward, but she must go over to the village and stay at the hotel for a few nights. She would only take Jean nette and a little satchel, and when we got all quiet once again she would come back. I was not willing she should go, but I thought she would get over her fright by evening aud stay, so I only asked her if I could do any errands In the city for her. She said no—then yes, if I would be so kind I might stop at Welling's and match a piece of lace for her—she wanted five yards more and she gave me the money to pay for it. It seemed to me that trains went at snails' paces that morniog, but at last I was in Dick's office. "Um—um-yes, to be sure J" said Dick, stroking his mustache with a thoughtful air. "Very bad, Mary ! Very bad indeed 1 And your pretty little widow is the only one person who wants to leave you say ?' ; "Yes. And I don't want any one to leave with such a stain on our house, Dick." "You must by all means keep your pretty little widow till I come down with an officer and search her trunks." I sprang to my feet. "Why, Dick are you mad ?" I cried. A PAPER FOR THE HOME CIRCLE. "Neither mad nor deluded my dear little woman," said Dick, coolly. "But I have a little theory about this tiling, Mary, and if you will let me work it out. I may help you. Got errands to do this morning ?" I was too worried to attend to any shopping for myself, but I remembered Mrs. Graham's lace and answered "Yes one." "Well, go and do it, and then come back bore, will you ? I think I'll have a plan perfected by that time." I went to Welling's stopped at the last counter, and held out the scrap pretty Mrs. Graham had given me. "Can you match this V" I asked of the polite shopman who stepped up. "I wish to purchase some more of it." lie took the bit of lace, and I notic ed a queer look come over his face. I also saw two or three of the young men draw near and eye me curiously, and I began to feel embarrassed. "I don't know," said the shopman, slowly. "Mr. Jones, a3k Mr. Welling to step this way." The young man addressed hurried a way, and in a moment the gentleman named came up, which was a relief to me, for I saw something was wrong, and I knew him well, as he was au old Iriend ot my father's. "This is a had business, and requires explanation.Miss Mary," he said. "A week ago a lady exactly answering the description you give of Mrs. Graham, came here and bought twenty yards of this same lace. After she was gone it was discovered that the money she paid was bad. We have been trying to trace this lady ever since, but had not the least clew till now. What do you think ? "I think," I tremblingly said, "that I must tell you tbe bad business at our house la9t night, which brought me to town to-day." So I told him my story, and then he went with me to Dick's office. And when I went home I knew all I had to do. I told Mrs. Graham that I could not find her any more of the lace, and re turned her money. As I had planned, Dick came by tbe six o'clock train, and we wers all at tea when Emma came in with the quiet announcement— "Mr. Fraser is in the parlor, ma'am." I excused myself a moment, and has tening to the parlor found Dick and a detective. We hurried quietly up-stairs—l was so glad Jeannette was out of the way— and into pretty Mrs. Graham's room. One of her trunks was gone, but her hat and shawl lay upon the bed, and UDder the pillow we found her Russian leather hand-bag. Mr. Detective made short work of opening that bag, and lo ! he had no need to look farther ! There we found all Miss Burton's jewelry, all that be longed to Bessie and Mrs. Wootton, and my lost money, besides a bunch of skeleton keys. And then his course was plain, and before I hardly knew what had happened, we had astonished the group at the supper-table, and pretty Mrs. Graham was a prisoner. Afterward we found proof enough that her work was done on Sunday af ternoon, while I lay asleep in the par lor, and tbe window opened at night by her lively maid Jeanette, to throw sus picion aside. But we never heard any more eith er of pretty Mrs. Graham or Jeannet te. Both, no doubt, got their deserts, for Mr. Welling presecuted, though I re fused to do so. btole the Corner Stone. Passing through New Brunswick, a few days ago on the Pennsylvania rail road, a member of tbe assembly, gaziDg off to a red clay bluff high oyer the ca nal along the river bank, a mile or so from tbe town, remarked: "Do you see that big building, the Rutger theo logical seminary, up there back of tbe town ? Well, the corner stone of that building is in the canal just under that high bluff—at least it was tbe last time I knew anything about it. It was back in 1856 or 1857 and I was a graceless young scamp, at Rutgers college. There was lots of us g. y. s.'s in Rut gers that year. The Theological semin ary building foundations were just fin ished,and they had made grand prepar ations for laying the cornet stone, with no end of speeches by big guns from everywhere. The night before a lot of us got an old pair of wheels, went up there in the dark, mounted the corner stone on the wheels and dragged it a cross the country to the bluff, where we dumped it over into the canal aud went back to bed. There was a ruc tion next morning, but it was of no use; they bad to go on with their corner stoue laying without any corner stone. I They never found out what had be | come of it, and the fun of it was they j all laid it to "those rascally town boys." He Had Seen Mermaids. 'About mermaids,' said tbe captain, as ho stood upon the unfinished end of ♦ lie seawall and surveyed the landlub ber repoiter of the San Francisco Ca 11 with mi expression of pitiful condescen sion. 'Why, I've see'd the most won derful tilings in that line: Well, we were over in the China sea. One night, just after we'd past the Formosa group, I was aroused out of my bunk by tbe mate,who sings out 'Mermaids aboard!' Out I jumps and gets on deck in a turn of a helm. You can splice my mains' if there wasn't 'bout twenty of the big gest mermaids a floppin' around the deck I ever seed. Two of 'em had got the fellows on watch cornered and was a kissen' 'em. 'The mate had took to the riggin' af ter hailing me. I was a little s'prised, though I had seen mermaids afore, but never more'n one at a time. 'Ladies,' said I, 'make yourselves at home,' and you bet your hawsers they did. They quit floppin,' and all got on tbe rail,side by side, a Jioldin' their tails in their hands and commenced to sing, and I jest tell you they whooped things up. They skipped through the 'Sweet By and By'and took several ieefs in the 'Red, White aud Blue' and slewed to port on a 'Life on the Ocean Wave' in beautiful style.' 'Didn't see tliera again, did you ?' asked a landlubber. Well, yes. The next day we was be calmed. There wasn't a smell of a breeze, and whistlin' tor it didn't do any good. I was madder'u a stuck whale, for I wanted to make a quick passage. Suddenly I sees a commotion in the water, and, sliiyer my binnacle lights, if them mermaids warn't swim min' around us. One of 'em boarded us as slick as could be and ses, 'Give us a rope.' Well, I throwed 'em one* and I'll lay to on a lee shore if they didn't tow us till we struck a breeze. Got the rope right in their mouths — about fifty of 'em—and pulled us along. I was so 'bleeged to 'em that I threw 'em a mass of looking-glasses, clocks and shoe blacking out of the cargo. 'Next day we struck another calm and I 'spected the mermaids would pull us out again. They were all around a dounin'their moinin' uniform in the glasses. Hey !' says I, 'tow us along, will you ?' Well, no sooner had I hail ed 'em than every one of 'em looked at the clocks which they bad slung around their necks. 'Scuse us, cap,' they said, •we see it's just time to keep our ap pointment at the bottom,' and cuss me if they didn't all disappear.' The Biter Bit. Gilhooly was'in a somewhat intoxi cated condition. He came out of the bar room at a late hour. He had suffi cient intelligence, however, to know what his condition was, so he conclud ed to take a hack. As soon as he was inside of the hack and was being driv en towards his home it occurred to him that be bad only five dollars in the world, and that the sum had to last him until the end of the month, there fore, he could not afford to pay hack hire. Slyly opening the door of the back he jumped out without the coach man haying observed liirn. lie wander ed about $n foot for half an hour until be found that be had lost his way. lie was then compelled to hire a second hack. As he had succeeded so well in swindling the first hack driver, he con cluded to try the same trick over again. It succeeded,but unfortunately in jump ing from the back he landed in a pile of fresh mortar,out of which he had much difficulty in extricating himself. After wandering around for several hours in the rain he at last found his way home. On the floor he saw his fine black suit utterly rained by the lime and water. He seized his pants and got out his pocketbook. lie counted his money, and discovered that precisely two fares were missing. 'Now I understand how it happened,' he exclaimed, 'I paid these two hack drivers their money when 1 first got in to their hacks, but I was too drunk to remember. So in swindling two fares out of the hack driyers I have swindled myself out of that amount, and walked home besides. The ruined clothes are worth at least forty dollars.' An American Fireside, An American woman is lecturing in England on marriage, domestic hab its and kindred subjects. Her idea of fireside bliss is illustrated by an ideal picture of a cozy room with pretty children and a cat and a dog playing a bout. Enter to these the husband, tir ed but happy. He throws himself into an easy chair, in attitude of careless re pose, which he completes by placing his feet in his wife's lap. With their usual guilelessness and faith in what they are told concerning American af fairs, the English who unfortunately hear this lecture will henceforth stub- DDrnly believe that all American hus bands are in the habit of resting them# selves with their feet in their wives' laps. Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance. Sugar by Eleotrioity. An entirely new process for refining sugar, electricity being the agent em ployed,is one of the latest discoveries. If the half that is claimed for it be true, it i. also one of the most import ant that lias been made in the lust half of this century. The process is said to be a dry one throughout, dis pensing altogether with boiling and the use of boneblack. It is claimed that no syrup whatever is produced, the wtole product being bard sugar of nearly, if not quite, absolutely purity —namely, 100 per cent, cane sugar, per analysis. This result has been obtained lrom the lowest grades, the parcels treated'ranging all the way from ten pounds to over a ton in weight. The refined sugar is obtain ed witbm four Lours from the time the machinery* i set in motion, and the process is continuous, the output of fine sugar being kept up so long as the raw material is fed in and the ma chinery kept in motion. The cost of the process is almost ridiculously low, being set at not more than eighty cts, per ton, with a guarantee that the loss will not be greater than about one-half of one per cent. The cost of the re quisite machinery, including power and aparatus needed to put the sugar into barrels and the buildings requir ed to inclose the works, is estimated to he about $100,000; in England, for an output of four thousand barrels every twenty-four hours. Paid by the Private. The Baltimore Sun revives the fol lowing siory of Elias Howe,the invent or of sewing machines : At the outbreak of the war, when he was a millionaire he enlisted as a pri vate to show his patriotism and inde pendence. Money grew scarce, and his regiment,'which was sent South, was left unpaid for three months. At the end of that time Howe, in his private's uniform, one day entered the office of the quartermaster and asked when the soldiers of the regiment were to be paid. 'I don't know,' replied the quarter master. 'Well, how much is owed them ?' bland! v asked the private. 'What is that to you?' said the stored keeper, with a look of surprise. 'Oh, nothing,' said Hove, noncha lantly; 'if you'll figure out the amount I'll give you my check for the whole business.' 'Who are you ?' gasped the quarter master. 'Elias Howe, and my check is good pay of the entire army.' The quartermaster made out his bills and Howe gave him the check for three months' pay for his regiment. The government afterward reimbursed him. The Politest of Military Clerks. •'When Grant was in Chicago, three or four years ago," said an army offici al, "he lounged about Sheridan's head quarters a good deal. His son fc'red was at that time on Sheridan's staff, but was absent one day, and Grant took his place at Fred's desk and look ed after the business. A nervous,fidg ety, irritable old fellow came in to in quire for some paper that he had left with Fred. When he stated his case Graut took up the matter in a sympa thetic way, and proceeded after the manner of an oyer-aoxious clerk to look the paper up. The document could not be found, aud Grant, apolo gizing, walked with the old gentleman to the door. As I walked down the stairs with the mollified visitor be turned and asked : 'Who is that old codger ? He is the politest clerk I ev er saw at military headquarters. I hope Sheridan will keep him.'l answer ed quietly, 'That is Gen. Grant.' The fidgety old gentleman, after staring at me for a full minute, said, with con siderable fervor, 'I will give you 50 cents if you will kick me down stairs." His Love was Chilled. 'Love you 1' echoed the young man ; why, I'd walk through fire to sit by your side for ten minutes !' 'That's awfully nice. 1 wish pa lov ed ma that way.' 'Doesn't he ?' *Oh,no. She asked him at dinner for a SSIOO camel's-hair shawl, and he made her cry.' 'How ?' 'Why,he said tnat.with wheat touch ing a dollar, and he a half million bush els short on a delivery at eighty-seven cents, she'd better be thinking of calico at six cents a yard. Why, what ails you, Augustus ?' ♦l—l—that is, I'ye got to meet a man at sharp 3.Half a million bushels short, eli ? Good-day, Miss Fairbanks.' And he went off kicking himself for not being in love with an ice dealer's daughter.

The Cow Resents the Act with Dis astrous Consequences to Her Drivors. „ There is nothing that demands states, manship of a high order as much as the driving of a cow with a young calf to any particular place. Two Dallas col ored men took a job of this character yesterday,and although they gave the matter their careful attention, the re sult was very far from satisfactory to anybody but the cow, who seemed to enjoy it very much. Sam ana Bill were to get a dollar to take the cow and calf and put tbem in the yard of the owner, Mr. Thomas Carlyle, who liyes at the south end of Elm street. After trying in vain to get the cow to understand in which direction they preferred she should go, Sam aud Bill called a cabi net meeting, the following campaign plan was agreed upon : Sam was to take up the calf in bis arms and go ahead, while Bill was to hold the cow back by the rope which was fasten ed to her horns. 'Ef she goes too fast,' said Bill, •I'll jest hold her back.' 'And ef she don't follow fast enough, I'll jest twist de calf's tail, and den she will come right along,' said Sam. Sam took up the calf and went ahead, while Bill, in order to get a real good hold, tied the rope around his wrist. The procession proceeded slowly in the desired direction,and would have reach ed its destination in safety had not Sat an tempted Bill to get off a joke so he called out: 'Sam, jest twist dat ca'f's tail.' Sam did so, and the calf bleated as if itlwas opposed to an encore to the per formance. The old cow began to trot. So did Sam, holding on to the calf as if he had stolen it. Then the fan began. For every once in a while the cow would polish her horns m the ceiling of Sam's pants. Bill could not get his hands oat of the rope, and, as he had short legs, he had hard work keeping up with the procession, or rather in not letting go. He ran so fast that the kinks in his wool straightened out. Finally he gasped : 'Sam, ontwist dat calf's tail.' Sam's legs moved so rapidly that they looked like spokes of a buggy, bat he called back: 'Look out dar, don't let go dat rope, de cow's a gainin' on me.' •Drap de calf, Sam,\ called poor Bill, whose arm was coming out of its sock et. 'Drap de calf, for I can't keep up widdeeow. Go slow, or I'll turn de cow loose on you,' which, however, was more than he was able to do. Bill made the next fifty yards on his back, be still most unwillingly retained his hold on the rope. Fortunately, the cow overtook Sam, and in return for his kindness in picking np the calf, she picked him up on her horns and threw him over into Mr. Carlyle's yard. Bill, who was rather tired of chasing the cow, thought he would climb over and see what Sam was doing. She appear - ed to understand his wishes in that di rection, so she started on a run to lelp him out, or rather in. She was a little late, but he went about ten feet further into the field than be would have done without her assistance. There was neither of them so badly hurt as they were when old C&rlyle came and told them that the contract was that they should put the cow in the yard. In stead of that, the cow had put them in the yard, so the dollar belonged to him self as the owner of the cow. It is thought a lawsuit will grow out of the matter. A Man of Honor. Colonel Griggleson, by the unhesitat ing manner by which he has purchased goods on credit, and by the hesitating manner in which he has paid for them, fails to occupy a place among the for tunate class of men known as "good customers." The other day, just after the colonel had ordered several articles to be sent up to his house, the merchant of whom he had just ordered the articles, said : •Colonel, I would like the best in the world to favor you, but I really can't carry you any longer.' 'By the way, that reminds me of a joke I heard in Washington last—' •Never mind about Washington. I can't afford to let you have the goods. You owfr me a hundred and fifty dollar*—. already.' • 'My dear friend,' said the colonel, lighting a cigar, 'do you suppose I can, in justice to my honor, afford to pay a man who refuses to trust me ? I may be peculiar, but I can't help it. My father was very much the same way. Don't remember the old gentleman, do you ? You would have liked him. Wish you would send these things up as soon as you can. Good morning I' Arkansaw Traveler. I SUBSCRIBE for the JOURNAL.
