"There, I think that will do. Ho
will novcr bo nlilo to recoqnizo lliu
Imndwrillng," nnd Nnnnlo Hnytnond
liuld nt nnns IciiL'tli for Inspection tbo
letter alio hnd been writing. After
slowly waving it to and fro sbo put it
ri 1 1 1.
into 1110 uuvuiopu niiu, wun a inugn,
wroto :
Mr. Sidney Moore,
Magazine,
City.
"Surely my pathetic appeal would
touch a heart of stone, and I havo very
little iciiROti to think iMr. Moore hard
hearted," thought Nannie, whilo
faint blush crept into her face.
Nannio Raymond was vixitintr her
school friend, Kate Moore. Tho for
mer bad been making a prolonged trip
through Europe, and, on her return,
was spending a littlo timo iu New
York bqforo going to her southern
home. AVhilo at school Nnnnlo had
formed a strong friendship for Kate,
but had not met the rest of the family.
On the steamer she had often specula
ted as to what Kate's homo would bo
like. She knew that Mrs. Mooro had
died when Kate was but a child j that
Mr. Mooro had been very successful in
business ; nnd that his son, Sidney,
was an editor on the Btaff of a promi
nent magazine. Consequently he must
be very learned, very near-sighted, and
quito old. So often had she pictured
him to herself that he became 11 real
ity. At dinner, on tho day of her arrival,
Kato said : "Nannie, I want to intro
duce you to my brother."
Nannio looked up at the handsome
man who was entering tho room, and,
after greeting him, turned quickly to
her friend and said, with comic dis
may : "Why, Kate, you told 1110 he
was an editor I"
Mr. Mooro was very much amused
at Nannie's evident surprise, and om
barrassnient, and bantered her about it
mercilessly.
Several days later Mr. Mooro was
tolling Nannio somo of his experiences
as an editor ; among which ho men
tioned the numerous letters that he ro
ceived from people who offered to give
vo
him their history, provided he should
write it up tor the macazinp, thov nav-. p
ing the pecuniary help and he the
glory. He then added : "If these peo
ple would only become stenographers
or typo writeis they might bo of somo
use to a magazine. Vliv, only to-day
I advertised for a stenographer."
INannic immediately conceived a
Hchemo by which sho would punish
him for tho discomfiture he had caused
her on her nriival. SLo would answer
the advertisement. Ho had told her
what kind of letters were most effect-
ve, nnd bIio could not doubt but that
ho would givo her appeal some atten
tion. ."Mr. Mooro becatt receiving innumer
able answers to his advertisement.
Ono aspiring stenographer assured him
that she was very prettv, and could
play on tho piano. Another said that
sho could not write very well, but
would soon learn. Ono morning Mr.
Mooro came up to tho desk of another
editor, and exclaimed, triumphantly :
"1 have it, frank I Just the kind of
girl one likes to help, too.''
'.Nonsense, Jloore. 1 on ro entirely
too sympathetic. You havo been'kept
1 state of chronic disgust all tho
week by tho epistles you havo received,
nnd
"Just read this letter yourself," nnd
he handed it to his friend :
To the Editoii op Maoazini
Dear iSir : I saw your advertisrment
in aJNewiork paper nud hasten to
answer it, hoping that I may obtain a
hearing. 1 tear that 1 am but ono
among many applicants, but it is so
important that I should havo work that
1 must not lose tho slightest chanco of
uuiiviiiiuir 11. 1 ii.ivu met, wiui suvutu
losses in friends and means, but I will
not inflict upon you my sad personal
history, it Is suthcient to say that cir
cumstances mnko it ne.xsesary for me
to support myself or become dependent
on charity. Ihis fact gives me no
claim upon your time, but, 111 view of
what might happen, 1 have perlected
myself in stenography, and think I
can honestly say that I could do tho
work you require. 1 nm, very respect-
fully yours, Mauv Rivkiw.
"By Jovo 1 Mooro, vou havo indeed
been successful. I envy you tho op
portunity to give such a girl a ohance."
'bho s a trump 1 her letter interested
me immensely. 1 hen, ho added, see
ng his friend s look of amusement,
you cannot doubt her ability. Oh, by
tho way, Kato wished mo to ask you to
.1- ...i.l. .. o 1 t-- . 11
time wun us uu oiiuuuy. jties tvuv
mond is visiting her, vou know."
"Thanks. Tell Miss Mooro that it
will givo mo great pleasure to accept
her invitation, nnd l'rauk Hunt pass
ed off in search of some dilatory artist,
leaving his friend lo congratulate him
self on the success of his advertise
meiit.
That evening ho told Miss Raymond
his iutontiou of giving tho placo to the
girl ivlio had so strongly enlisted his
sympathies.
"You had better answer immediate
ly, as, no doubt, tho poor girl is nnx
ions to hear from you, said Kato. "I
intend to writo somo letters and vours
can be posted with mine, this evening.''
JNnnnio and lvato exchanged signiti
cant glances
r . , ., . ,
,Jf lo: "&
held a council of war, nnd Kato til
umphnntlv produced her brother's let
ter. Nannie seized it aud hastily tear
ing it open, read :
Dear Miss Rivera : I received
your letter iu answer to my ndvertise
ment, and would be plonsed to havo
you call on mo Saturday morning.
Yours truly,
Sidni:v Mooiti:.
"0 1" cried Nannie, dancing around
tho room with the letter iu her hand,
"to think that an editor could bo so
awfully fooled 1 What do you think
of my answer, Kate'?" The girl had
seated horselt nt n table nnd wns care

Saturday evening came, and with It
Mr. limit. After a littlo pause ho ox
clnimed : "Havo you heard about
Mooro's stenographer 1"
"Oh, sho was to call to-day. Tell
lis about her 1'' cried tho two girls.
"Instead of tho visit Mooro was bo
ardently oxpecting n message boy
came, bringing a most touching billet
doux, in tho fnlr stenographer s hand
writing reminding him that it was All
Fools' Day, and that ho was one of tho
fools. You can imagine) his disappoint
ment." "I had overy reason to bo disappoint
ed," said Sidney. "Ono docs not often
nnd such a girl ns this promised to bo.
T?y jovo 1 I'll Iind out who shu was, if
Why, Sidney," eaid his sister, "what
difference can it make f To bo stiro it
is rather annoying, but then you can
easily find some 0110 for tho place.
JNannie, won t you play that nocturno
I heard you practicing to-day V
Qiuney immediately lorgot overv-
thing and hastened to tho piano. So
slight a thing could not worry him,
and he thought ucnin and ucniu how
sympathetic and full of pathos was her
rendering ot ttio music.
After she had limsued, Mr. Hunt
asked Knto if sho would look nt tho
proof of somu pictures ho had just re
ceived, and they went into another
room.
"Mr. Moore," said Nannie, "I havo
learned tho accompaniment to tho song
you asked for last evening. Would
you like to sing it now T and sho play
ed tno opeiiuii' ctiorus ot "My
Queen."
Thcro was that in his voico and
glance as ho sang the words, that deep
cned the color in her cheeks and ren
dered uncertain tho touch that was
usually so true.
.Then, as if yielding to an impulse
that could not be longer restrained, he
said :
"O, Nannie, I cannot wait in sus
pense. 1 he words will como. in you
I.havo found my queen."
) . Tho music crow confused and Kato
was heard saying rather loudly : These
arp very interesting Mr. limit. 1 wish

A New Eival to the Diamond
Tho now precious gem discovered n
couple of years ago in a raino about
titty miles distant from isridgcwntcr,
N. C, and known as Hiddcnite, is said
to bo almost equal to the diamond. It
is placed next to it, and at present su
perior to it on account of Us scarcity.
This gem is of a clear, beautiful grass-
green tint, sparkles like a diamond, nnd
is very hard. Thoy vary, when cut,
from a fraction of a carat to about jsix
or seven carats, nnd. tho demand for
them at S125 to 150 for a carat stono
is far greater than tho supply, and
comes chielly from Europe, though
many wealthy persons in Now York
and Now Jersoy havo bought them.

Women Wno Earn Their Living.
Tho field of employment of women
is constantly increasing, says tho iNow
York J-Jvetiinit Post, but, as the candi
dates for positions multiply, tho wages
decrease. Women, who fivo years ago
wcro enabled to make from 818 to $'22
a week In somo special branch where
men had thertolore been employed,
now aro paid from to $15. Still,
ns the occupation for women multiply,
more livings are mado in dcsirnblo and
womanly employments than over bo-
fore. Among tho better paying occu-
lations for young women, typo-writ-
ing ranks well to tho fore.

about eight hundred young women uso

to combine stenography vith typo-wri

The commercial agencies employ about

than telegraphy, and usually better

some special instances when tho opera

is better. Hut it is now difficult to Iind

simply. Young women who aro fair

The New Paris Post-Offlce.
A building which has been for many
years in the hands of the contractors
will be opened for public uso almost
immediately. At a cost of over 9,000,
000 fiances, Paris has built a now
Post-office, and placed it on tho site of
the old one, erected in tho year 1757.

who desire to writo letters, it is iur
nished with maps, guide books, dic
tionaries aud directories, and has a sup
ply ot pens, ink nnd blotting paper. An
attendant supplies stationery at cost

penny or two-penco for tho 1110 of the
room. In another wing of tho build
ing a passage is fitted with letter boxes
hired out at an annual rent to mer
chants and business men. Thcso boxes
have doors in front and doors behind.
The keys of tho latter aro with tho
Post-office authorities, and as soon as
mails como in letters nre put in their
