SELECT STORY.
AN ENGLISH CINDERELLA.
Tliero aro inoro Cindercllns now-a-tlayg
than tlio world imngiiics. The
old gtory is on icted under different oir
cumstnnces, with varying dctaila, lu
many an English household. Tho
daughters of tho land may bo fair, but
there aro too many of thorn, perhaps,
for the anxiotiti inaiucuvriiig mother
tn pilot among tho shoals and quick
sands of society. Now and then a
younger one is kept out in tho cold for
a littlej forbidden to cross tho border
land betwoen tho school room and tho
dratving room not exactly forced to
sit in ashes, but repressed, hiddeu away
in tlio dim background. Thoro may
bo reason, plenty of wordly wisdom
in this, and yet tho girl woman is apt
to wax rebellious; her sisters' triumphs
till her with envy. All Borts of visions
of possible and impossible delights
seem to beckon to her from that un
known world. Why must she, poor
little Cinderella, w.nto her sweet bloom
unseen and unheeded 1
Ono fears Mabel Templeton had
some such thoughts as these as sho
washed half sadly, half enviously, the
progress of her sisters' toilets ono
bright Juno afternoon, and also thn
paciing of two well-filled trunks, into
each of which liosalio was depositing
a perfectly new and dainty ball dress.
For Mr. Templeton had consented to
tako his two elder daughters to Oxford
for the Commemoration, and though
tbero was no mother in this case, Aunt
Selina, who was also one of the putty,
had ilatly refused to act as chaperon to
nioni than two nieces at a time.
"Disagrceablo old thing P muttered
Cinderella, with a curl of her pretty
lips. S'jojwas tryiug tojbravo out her
disappointment m this fashion, but
tears lay very near tho surface, for the
poor girl's heart was very sore. "It is
such a shame, too, when Owen is my
own brother, and I havo never seen his
rooms, or his cap and gown; and papa
took you both last year.
"Yes, but it was not Commemoration
time; everything was as slow and stu
pid as possible," returned Violet
placidly. "Don't be cross, Mab; nei
ther Paulino nor I can help Aunt Se
lina's fads. You know papa does not
like us to cross her, because she is so
rich. It was not possible for mo to
put in a word.1'
Sho spoke in a tone of good-natured
banter, and patted her young sister's
shoulder kindly as sho passed.
"Don't, Vi 1" returned Mab, rather
irritably. "It is all very well, your
saying that about Aunt Selina, but yeu
know that neither .you nor Paulino
said ono word you never even men
tioned me. And yet Owen begged so
hard that I should go this year.
'Oh, Mab I how tiresome you aro !''
observed Pauline, as Mab paused in
her indignant speech. All tho Tem
pleton girls were handsome; but though
Pauline was very fair and stately, ono
or -two old friends of the family had
predicted that Mab would one day
bear the palm. "I wish you would
not provoke me into saying it, but I
must own that I think Aunt is quite
right, and three would bo too many.
It is our turn this ysar, but next Com

sho stopped to survey herself in tho
glass.
Mabel gave a little stamp with her
foot, but she had a sweet nature on tho
whole, and she wisely resolved not to
give vent to the feelings that oppressed
her.
Mab had her own little secret, though
sho was only eighteen, and neither
Pauline nor Violet would allow that
sho was quite grown up. Why it was
only this week that the governess had
been dismissed. And she was quito
right in her surmiso that neither of
her sisters wished to include her in
their panty. It is diflieult for a girl to
bo perfectly honest on all occasions.
Mab was ahrdly telling the truth, that
is the wholo truth, when she alleged
her fondness for Owen and her desiro
to see him in his undergraduate garb,
ns her reason for wishing lo go to Ox
ford. Owen was certainly very dear
to her, but it may bo doubted if some
ono were not becoming dearer still.
Last vacation Owen had brought a
friend homo with him, and tho two had
been a great deal in tho school room,
where Mab still did sorao pretence of
Ii-hi-oiih with Miss Dalton. Neverthe
less, her demure manners in tho draw

up as Paulino's could bo.

this an excellent idea thoy sauntered out
together. '
I'ho Templetons girls wero not en
joying themselves this afternoon. In
tho first it was rather hot and Aunt
Selina was tired. Then Owen was in
ono of his sulky moods, and had not
offered to introdnco any of hit friends.
Ho had turned rusty from tho moment
ho had met them at tho station and
found Mab wns not with them.
"What a shame, leaving that poor
littlo thingTalono at home," ho had
blurted out. "I call that confoundedly
hard of you women.'
"HubIi 1 Aunt Selina will hear you,"
remonstrated Violot.
"I don't care who hears me. That
is so like you girls. You aro always
putting on Mab, just because you
know you cannot, either of you, hold a
candlo to hor I" Which was rude, to
say tho least of it, but then brothers
will bo rude sometimes, in spito of Ox
ford training.
To add to their discomfiture, Ned
Bcauchamp had toma up to them a
littlo eagerly, and had at onco question
ed them about Mab.
"I don't bco your sister, but flic is,
hero of course," trying to Bpeak .ib if
the questions were of no moment to
him, but flushing over his own words
like n girl ; but Pauline, who wns too
self-absorbed to be observant returned,
quito carelessly :
"Mab is at homo ; tliero was no
thought of her coming. What a cur
ious orchid, Mr. Beauchamp ; I havo
never seen ono like that before."
Ned Bcauchamp looked at tho orchid
and said a civil word or two, and then
detached himself from tho party with
n muttered excuse ; he had only just
como to show himself ; it was awfully
hot ; ho mtiBt go back and work.
"Holloa I why is Nod Beauohamp
taking himsilf off!" exclaimed Mr.
Templeton in surprise as he,joiued his
eldest daughter.
''I don't know, papa : ho seems to bo
a littlo odd and bearish to-day. Ho
used to bo pleasant enough when ho
stayed at Portchester Terrace j but
young men will givo themselves airs
sometimes."
"And so will young ladies, my dear,"
returned her father, rather maliciouslv.
"Well, well, young people must man
age their own affairs. Anyhow Ned
Beauohamp is a capital follow, and
worth a littlo trouble. Why, he has
fifteen hundred a year of his own now,
and when his undo dies ho will havo
as much again. So you and Violet
had better do your best." continued
Mr. Templeton, with the heavy railery
with which certain men of a coarse
calibre lovo to indulge
When Ned Beauchamp had made
that excuse about his work ho had
lost himself at onco among a crowd
near tho entrance gate. Flowers were
all very well,, but ho had no longor
any heart for them. Mab had played
him false.
People looked after tho tall, broad
shouldored young fellow, with his
handsome, moody face, and many
would havo greeted him, but bo looked
neither to tho right nor left. A sweot,
girlish face had bewitched him. Sho
had promised to como at least if sil
ence gives consent and now she had
played him false ; his wishes wero
nothing to her ; he had told her he
should know what lo think. Well, ho
knew what to think now 1
IIo had reached Magdalen Cloisters
by this time, but tho thought of work
odious to him, bo ho turned into tho
shadowy coolness of Addison's walk.
It had never looked so deliriously in
viting as it did this afternoon. Every
where green leaves, bird music, spark
les of sunlight, and tho clear summer
bluo of heaven abovo all.
The walk seemed strangely empty
this afternoon. Ned had only passed
ono person a thick-set, gray-haired
man, who was poking his slick among
tho periwinkles and took no notice of
him. A littlo farther on there was a
bench, with a girl sitting on it m a
gray dress and a hat with daffodils ;
out ied was in no mood lor curios tv.
so ho never turned his head. Only as
ho passed the trill Btartcd tin aud call-
ed to him in aii eager voice.

Pennsylvania's Lumber King Gives an $8
000,000 Estate to His Nephew.
Last week John Dubois, the liilnbcr
king of Pennsylvania, filed in Clear
field an absolute deed convoying all his
property, valued at about 8,000,000,
to his favorite ncphow,John E. Dubois.
The deed bears dato Jan 17, 1884, so
that, although for more than two years
young John Dubois has been in hia
uncle's employ, taking orders from
whatever superintendent he chanced
to be working under, bo has been tho
actual owner of tho entiro property.
Nobody knew it but himself aud his
uncle. Tlio senior Dubois, who is 77
years old, has been ailing lately, aud
decided to mako tho deed public The
only consideration in the deed is that
John E. Dubois shall pay all debts
and fill all contracts his uncle may
make till tho day of his death.
His purpose iu making tho deed
was to mako suro that his business
should go on in single and absolute
ownership, just as ho had conducted it
for tho period of twenty years, after
his death, and that the 800 work
men iu his employ should not be dis
tiessed by I he stoppage or embarrass
ment of his enterprise. The deed
makes no mention of any of tho other
heirs, of whom there are a great many,
John Dubois being the only bachelor
in a family of fourteen. It "is left en
tirely to tho conscience of John E
Dubois whether any of them shall ever
have any Bharo iu the estate or not.
Tho young man is about 25 years old
aud unmarried. IIo was educated at
Chester Military Academy.
The Pittsburg Dispatch says that
John Dubois stood easily at the head
of tho lumber business of Pennsylvania.
It is doubtful if there is any man be
tween Mniuo and Michigan who owned
more timber land and cut more timber
than he did. Every year he cut and
sawed about 30,000,000 feet of boards,
enough to build the dwelling houses .
of a town of 10,000 people. Ho owned
at the time of his death 33,000 acres
of land in one connected body about
his town of Dubois, on which there is
standing about 330,000,000 feet of
white pino lumber, besides many mill
ion feet of .hemlock. About" 8,000
acres of it is underlaid with a valuable
vein of coal, being on tho western, do
of tho lleynoldsvillc basin.
Besides his largo buildings in Pitts
burg, John Dubois had a one-fourth
interest in a tract of 70,000 acres in
West Virginia, which the axo has
never touched, and large real estate in
terests in Havre do Grace and William
sport. At Dubois, where ho has lately
lived ho had mill improvements worth
SVjO.OOO. When he went there, ten
or twelve years ago there were only
three houses in the town. It now has
7,000 population.
John Dubois began life with almost
no capital, and was a rafisman or. tho
Susquehanna at tho age of 17. His
inventive genius helped him greatly.
His mills are full of his devices. When
ever ho found an impediment in his
path, he invented something to over
come it. IIo recently recovered $30.-
000 from tho Baltimore and Ohio Hail-
road Company for tho uso of his lmtnnr.
for deep water foundations. The auto
matic dam which bears his name is well
known. He owned about fifty patents
altogether. He owned the fine hotel
and half tho property in the town of
Dubois, and had just completed a new
opera house, the finest in thn Statu
outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
"o ijui iuu iu3u largo mart ill ins
fortune by iuvestinu in cluai) timber
lands, and the decrelof his large profits
in recent years has bceu tho perfection
of his machinery and tho variety of
his products, which ppubltd him lo
use up all the timber he cut and avoid
wastu aud middlemen s profits. He
manufactured house, and shipped them
all fitted and complete, so that a hatch.
ct and nails were all that were required
to put them together at their desti
nation. A rough pine log brought
from tho woods to his mill, over his
own lino of railroad, came out at the
end of the woiks in tho shape of boxes,
boards, lath, and barrel heads. Every
scrap was turned to profit. Thero was
no waste excopt splinters and sawdust.
His works at Dubois have acanaeltv
of 83,000 feet of lumber, 0,000 boxes,
.r),000 barrel heads, and C0.000 shingles
per day, besides a hemlock mill with a
capacity of -10,000 feet daily, and a
i.irge tannery auu maonino shop. Ho
had a farm of 1,000 acres employed
800 men, and knew every ono of them.
IIo had been seriously ill for several
months, and recently Acnow of Phila.
delphia, taken up to Dubois on a special
train. Ho stayed just thirty.fivo min
utes. Though a man of warm heart
and gonial disposition, Mr. Dubois
never married, Ho never used liquor
or tobneoo.
