Colonel i‘tansileld had just finished
his morning toilet the day after the

servant brought, up a card, and ; an
nounced the gentleman whose name
It:bore as waiting below.
'Lieutenant Muggins V—A singular
name. I remember no such officer;
but never mind—show him up said
the colonel.
In a (iodide of minutes .Lieutenant
Muggins entered. He was not in
uniform. Ifu wore a black frock-coat
that was rather seedy. His clothes
had been guod'und fashionable once,
Luta was long, longfigo.' His face
was not prepossessing. It had that
brutalized look which the constant
use of strong drink will.give to any
man. And yet there was something
in his air, erect carriage, even in the
manner in which he - bowed Its he
lifted his hat, that said he, had once

`ls this your card, sir—are you Lt.

handed a chair to his visitor.
`That is my name, sir. Have I the
honor to address Col. Edgar Mans

And Lieutenant 'Mugging straight

looking pocket book, and from it ex
tracted a note.
Rising, he, extended this the

The colonel took the note. It was

smile played over his features as he
did so. It took but a few secondsond
then he quietly tore the IlliAsive into
scraps, and threw them on the floor.
'What ani I to infer from that action

'I have no reply to make to a man

me?'
'1 have got some that are so poor
that 1 am not going to wear them
again,' said Naney, surprised atSuch
an inquiry.
`Will you lend theurto
'Of course, miss; but what would
the like of you want of such old
clothes?'
'A little fun, that's all," said Miss
Vernon; 'I. am going to disguise
myself, and see If I can't deceive
semetxxly.'
With this explanation Nancy was
content, and produced the clothes.
Mk Vernon put them on, and in
addition borrowed of another of the
servants a thick green veil, some
what the worse for , wear, and then
set out on her mission. No one, in
her disguise, would have mrognizett
the usually elegantly draised heiress,
Miss Vernon.
Miq . Vernon slipped out of the
basement door mut took her way to
a large store, on which was inscribed
the name William Winsor, in large
gilt letters.
•
She entered, and after awhile a
clerk spoke to her in n ropgli voice—
, •Well, what doyen want In
'Lwant to get some work,' she
said' in a low voice.
"We ean'give you some shirts.'
'Anything.'

'Can you sew well ?'

`At any rate, wo will try you.'
A hairdo-mit shirts were given to
Miss Vernon, and she was.inforinetl
that if:satisfactorily done, she would
,be paid twelve cents a piece. TllleSl3
she carried honao, slipping . in at the
track door.
Two hours later the poor woman
'Here are some shirts for you to
make," said Miss Vernon.
'Why, they are the same kind as I
have been making!' said the woman
in surprise.
'That is true, and:they vome from
the same place.'
• 'Am Ito bring them back there?'
'No; you wilt bring them here. I
will pay for the work when done—
double the price you have been reeeiv ,
ing.'
'Thank you, miss; you are very
• -
kind.
'.Sew them as neatly as pixssible. 1
wish to see whether they will be re
jected as poo r

'Yes, ' • Vernon; will .take
pains with t
Three by later the poor woman
returned with the Shirts annpleted.
Miss Vernon paid her for them, and
_requested her to 0111 nein next day.
'Nancy; sahrthe heiress, after her
protege had•departed, 'I wish to bor
row your old clothes again.'
'Certainly, miss,")said Nancy, `if it
is not ashamed you are to trppenr_ In
such rag,s.'
'No one will know me, Nancy.'
'Sure, miss, you, can take them
whenever you like.'

'You thought, dal you?' repeated
theclerk, mocking her. 'Well I think
differently, and that's all about , it.
We shan't pay you for these shirts.'
They will have to he sold at losk'
'But' what shall I do?' asked Miss
Vernon in seeming distress.
`That's your business, not mine.
We will try you once More, and gite
you another halfdaxen shirts. If they
are done better you will be 'paid for

To the indignati l on of. the clerk,
who was not used to such independ

took the shirts to another part of the
counter where site saw William Win

A Practical PhUosapher.
Samuel Osgood, in a pleasant talk—
printed in the Now York Earning Post

ho came in contact, speaks of ono thus:

sacking tho earth for old pictures and
statues, and doing nothing to bring Into

mountain springs and lakes. He did not
like the soldiers, who ate and drank
much, and rode horses that ought-to ho
in bettor business:. and ho declared that
before many years the whole humbug of
war would ho blown up., and. Europe
would bo ono nation with a police: and
without a standing army, very. much
like our own United States, WllO4O peo
