"Mlsa Violet, will you glvo tlild letter
to Mrs. Multby?"
I had my hands full of drawing mat
erials, but I received tbo letter, and con
tinued on my way to Mrs. Maltby'd
dressing room.
Tiio drawings wcro llttlo studies I had
made whllo down at tho seaside, where
I had silent my vacation, inado for Mrs.
Maltby to whom I had been compan
ion for a year and Mrs. Maltby had
been interested in them, saying: "Touch
them up a bit, Violet, and 1 will got a
portfolio for them nnd keep them." I
usually sat with her in her dressing
room through tliomorningand thither
I now repaired to touch up tlio draw
ings.
I gavo her tho letter, and wont to a
low seat in tlio deep bay-window. I
sharpened a pencil, and then happened
to glanco toward my companion.
Her fnco was ashy white. Tho letter
was clenched in her hand. I had
brought her bad news.
I was shocked, but silent. I tried to
lemoinber what I know of her family
relations. Sho was a handsome, black-
haired women of fifty, who had been
early widowed, and returned to her
father's house. Her parents wero dead.
Her mother had died in her Infancy,
and slio had been tho mislress of Red-
bum over since. It was not long, how
ever, sinco her father's decease. Sho had
no.-er bad a child. Sho had no brothers
or sisters whom I had ever hoard of.
I saw her burn tho letter, and then
sho rose nnd left tho room.
A week passed. They wero quint and
comfortable, but rather monotonous
weeks at Redburn.
Wo had company to ditto. I was
dressing her hair, as I sometimes did.
Suddenly, without knocking or warn
ing, tho door was Hung open, and n
young raau walked In.
T felt Mrs. Maltby start under my
hands. I, myself, wa3 frightened, tho
intruder looked so bold aud reckless.
Ho was very handsome, but ho look
ed to mo to havo been traveling long,
or to havo como out of some revel.
Mrs. Maltby did not speak to him. Ho
seated himself before, and not far from
her, however.
"Go on, Violet," sho said.
"Certainly. Let tlio young lady pro
ceed with her task,'' ho said. "What I
havo lo say need not intcrforo with her
employment. I understand that sho is
your companion nnd confidante, though
I havo not had tho pleasure of meeting
lior before.
"You refused mo," ho said, in a far
different tono from that In which ho
had first spoken.
"Certainly," sho answorcd.
"Do you want my blood upon your
head?" bo exclaimed.
"I washed my bauds clear of you long
ago," sho answered, composedly.
Ho got up, and commenced walking
tho lloor.
"I tell you, Whirred, I must havo
this monoy," he said. "I must liavolt,
nnd to night."
Mrs. Maltby was silent. I caught a
glimpso of her fueo. Flint was not har
der. "Lei mo havo It, Winfied," ho said,
pausing before her j "and I promise it
shall bo tho last tlino."
Sho mndo no reply.
"Thu last tlino. I mean it, Winfrod.
His volco faltoroJ. Sho did not speak.
"Will you V"
"No," sho roplied, with no emotion
"I told you, rnoro than a year ago, that
I should pay no more dobts of yours. I
meant It ; you know that I meant it. I
havo given you fair warning. I shall
not change I havo dono my duty by
you, Guy you know that I have."
"Yes, you lmvu been Just but you
havo never been morclful," ho roplied.
"Oh, God !" Ho thing up his arms with
a bitter cry, that wrung my heart.
I looked at her. No, sho did not re
lent or go to him. Ho had Hung him.
self into u chair, and with his head
dropped, his arms folded upon tho back,
was tho m6st hopolcss Hguro I had over
seen.
Ho gavo u groan, aud started up sud
denly, Ho remained but it moment
longer. Wrapping his cloak about him,
ho gavo her ono look of reproach, and
left tho room. I lookod wistfully at her:
sho did not speak to tno, and , too,
went away.
Sho was ill tlio uoxt day, but ou tlio
day following sho appeared much ai
usual,
(JOL.
Of all that I thought and felt I, of
course, said nothing. Tho matter was
no affair of mine. I understood that tho
two wero brother mid sister that tho
young man was named Guy Sodlcy
that ho was dissoluto and In dlsgraco,
that Mrs. Maltby had taken caro of him
In boyhood, but now Ignored tho rela
tionship. I was In no way allowed to
loam any more.
Hut on tho second night I wa3 nwak
oncd by a light shining into my cham
ber. It was something unusual, for tho llt
tlo cloak on tho mantlo was chiming
twelve.
After a moment I slipped out of bed
and glided toward tho door. Tho long,
embroidered folds of my night dress
tripped mo, but Imado no nolso with
my baro feet on tho deep velvet of tho
carpet. I don't know what I expected
to seo certainly not Guy Scdley.kuccl
Ing heforo n sandal wood chest, with
papers strown around him on tlio floor.
A taper, burning In Its sliver sconco
upon tho wall, showed his faco perfect
ly cool as ho wenton searching forsorae
thing. Ho must havo comothrough myrooin
to reach this apartment, for It had no
opening but Into tny chamber. I was
nwaro that tho papers In tho chest wero
valuablo that tliero was monoy placed
there. I saw that ho was robbing his
sister.
I saw, loo, a dirk knlfo on tho floor,
closo at his side.
I looked at him an instant then glid
ed forward, snatched tho knife, and
leapt back to tho door.
I was mistress of tho situation, fori
had como from behind him, donoall.ns
in a fla3h of light, and as ho roso to his
feet I stood with my back to tho door,
with a calmness that showed It was not
my intention to immediately arouso tho
houso.
With a presenco of mind equal to my
own, ho put tho roll of bills ho had been
searching for into tho fob of his waist
coat, and with a glittering eyo regarded
mo speculatively. I was pe tile, and I
had not screamed. I know now, that ho
was not much afraid of mo.
"You havo been robbing your sister,"
I said, "but if you will put tlio monoy
back I will let you go."
His intent attention ol mo changed to
a look of wonder.
"You child, nro you not afraid of mo?"
lionskcd.
"No," I answered, truthfully.
'"I watched you in your sleep, a mo
ment ago, debating whether it wero
necessary to kill you or not."
"You must havo been glad to And
that It was not necessary. Put tho
money back," I said.
"No," ho said flrmly. "I will murder
you first."
"Do not do that," said I, ' I am your
friend. I was sorry for you that day."
Ho did notspcak, but a troubled look
disturbed tho palo fixednes3of Ills face.
"How much monoy hnvo you there?"
"Ono hundred dollars."
"And you need it very much?"
"Very much," ho replied, with a
bitter smilo.
"Pleaso put it back," I said. "Sho
ha3bconJust to you, I would liko to
bo merciful. I will glvo you the
monoy."
"You?"
"I havo it ye3 havo it In my room.
Let mo show vou."
I flung open tho door, went to my
writing desk, and camo back.
"Theso I will glvo you freely." I
said, opening tho roll. "You said to
her that it should bo tho last time, and
I hopo "
lie had taken tlio bills into his hand,
looking at them in a kind of unbeliev
ing way.
"You may hopo that you havo saved
mo," ho said, inn low volco.
Wo wero silent for n moment.
"You know now that I was very sorry
for you," I said with tears In my oye3.
"Yes," ho said gravely," and I Iovo
you for it."
Ho put Mrs. Maltby's money back
and rn-arrangod tho chest. I bogan to
listen, nervously, for voices about tho
house, but all was very st ill. Ho lock
ed tho chest and gave mo tho key.
"You know whero It Is kept?"
"Yes lu n drawer In hor dressing
room." I wonder how ho had got It,
"Hurry and getaway."
"There is no danger; 1 paved ray
way carefully. Pure, bravo girl, care
less you aro for yourself!"
Ho looked at mo earnestly, as If ho
wished to carry away a clear memory
of my features, then wrapped his cloak
about him, Hung up tho sash, and leap
ed soundlessly oiit Into tho darkness.
I extinguished tho taper and crept
back to bed. I did not hear a sound
about tho houso until daylight.
A year lator I was tho mistress of
Redburn ; tho beautiful houso, tho spa-
clous grounds wcro all mine. Mrs.
Maltby had died and bequeathed them
to me.
I was young ; I was fond of gayoty :
I had now the means at my disposal,
Every summer my houso was filled
with guests. In tho wlntor I was in
Now York or abroad.
Threo years passod. I had novor

wcro coming to visit me, nskod leavo to

It was a shock, but ho gavo no token

"Yo3, and you shall wish for your

Ho did not speak, and I went ou :

Tho iato Elder John Smith, of Ken
tucky, who died recently at an advan
ced age, was ono of tho most eccentric
wits south of tho Ohio river, and a truo
gentleman, no was familiarly known
throughout Kentucky and tho West by
tho sobriquet of "Raccoon Smith."
Whllo still in tho Baptist ministry ,and
attending ono of tho nnnual meetings
of tlio body, a tall, lank, green speci
men of humanity presented himself bo
foro tho Association as a candidate for
tho ministry. Ho was regarded as being
not entirely of sound mind, and labor
ed under tho hallucination that ho was
especially "called to preach," and kept
constantly importuning tho association
to grant him tho necessary license. In
addition to his partially unbalanced
mind, young Weeks was tho possessor
of asliugonnd ungainly n pair of feet
as over trod shoo leather. Tired of his
Importunities, and not being disposed
to grant tho Hccnso, tho Association
handed him over to Smith, with in
structions to mako nn end of tho uaso,
and between them took placo tho fol
lowing conversation :
Smith "So Brother Weeks, you
think you havo a splendid call to
preach?"
Wcoks "Yes, tho Lord has called
mo to tho work, but the Association re
fuses tho licenso."
Smith "How do you know that you
aro called ?" .
Weeks" Know it? I feel it In my
heart of hearts. I want my Hccnso."
Smith" Do you bellcvo tho Blblo,
Brother Wcoks?"
Weeks "Certainly I do, every word
of it."
Smith "Well, if I can provo by the
Blblo that you aro not called to preach,
will you bo satisfied to drop tho matter
nor further importuno tho Association
for a licenso?"
Brother Weeks assented to this, and
"Raccoon Smith" deliberately opened
tho Now Testament at Romans, x, 1C,
and In a gravo tono read :
"How beautiful aro tho feet of them
that preach tho gospel of peace,", otcup
then glancing at Weeks' largo foot, re?
marked :
"You seo, Brother Weeks, that the
feet of tho preacher aro beautiful ; you,
sir, havo tho most monstrous ugly feet
of any raiui in tho Stato of Kentucky ;
thereforo, by this Bible, it is clear that
vnii hrtvn nnt. liop.n nsnonlnltv pnllnil 'I
As Smith finished his romarks, tho
entlro Association went off In a paroc-
ysm of laughter, and Weeks, really
concluding that ho had not been "call
ed," bolted from tho meeting houso,
and never afterward annoyed tho As
sociation for license.''
.Singular Whisky riieuomcua.
Tho La Crosse, Wis., Democrat tolls
tho following: It appears that Mr. FI-
field has been troubled with a fearful
cold, which settled on his lungs, and
his friends held a consultation and de
cided to glvo tho gallant Sergeant an
old-fashioned sweat. Ho was wrapped
in a blanket and placed upon a cano
seat chair, and about a pint of whisky
put under tho chair, and a match touch
ed to tho whisky.
It is ovident that too much confi
dence had been placed In tho fact that
Madison whisky was never before
known to burn ; but, bingularly as it
may seem, this particular whisky did
burn, and Mr. Filleld, with his well
known astuteness, discovered tho fact
as soon as anybody. Without stopping
to arguo with his frionds as to tho sin
gular phonomenon, Mr. Fifield aroso as
ono man, ond with his hand on his
heart, thanked the audleuco for tho
warm and genial manner in which ho
had been recoived, kicked tho chair
over, and Jumped up.
HoJumped well, but it is said that if
tlio ceiling had been higher, ho would
havo increased his leap at loast eight
feet. On his return to earth his elocu
tionary powers wcro brought Into requi
sition, and ho mado a speech that In
bllslorlng sarcasm and burning pathos
has nover had Its equal in tho annals of
legislative cxperienco.
Dr. Woolcott was telegraphed for
from Milwaukee and camo by special
tralu.but gavo it as hisoplnlon that am

ono of his chronic conditions of grumblo

pcaranco so common to him, that mado
him resemble a blondo miller fresh from
tho dust of his flour mill, and was ex
pressing his private opinion In a public
and somewhat profano way, when a
colored gentleman was announced. "Lot
him como in," roared tho phllosophor,
and an aged darkey, clad In broadcloth
gold rimmed spectacles, and a cano
headed with tho same precious metal,
stalked in.
"Mister Greeley, I believe?" ho In
quired.
"Yes, I'm Mister Greeley; what do
you want?" was tho gruff response.
"Well, sab," said old Ebony Specks,
seating himself as ho deposited his hat
and cano on tho floor "Well, sab., I've

"Well y-a-a-s, I might bo Induced

A member of tho editorial staff of tho
