REMINISCENCES By E. S. CHAMBERLAIN. Colonel Porter Downs was in a quan dary. He had accepted an invitation t > Mrs. Fenwick's dinner and he had found himself seated beside Mrs. Cle ment Gordon. Now, in ordinary circum •Mnces, the presence of this woman would have filled the gallant colonel with the most agreeable anticipations. But just a' pre-' it h< wished her anywhere else than at his side. The fact was, he and his friend Har vey were operating a little corner in Manhattan Consolidated, and among the uniuck) "shorts" who had been caught by the rise was the firm of Pratt & Gor don, of which Mrs Gordon's husband was the junior member. Harvey, who was managing the pool, had insisted upon showing no leniency; and as a re sult of the squeeze it was pretty certain that Pratt & Gordon would be forced to the wall. Just how much Mrs. Gor don knew of her husband's affairs Downs, of course, could not tell. But if she hap pened to be aware that he held her hus band's financial life in his hand, it was quite possible that trouble' awaited him before the dinner was over. The colonel was justly proud of his reputation with the ladies, but to discuss a matter of business with a woman, however attrac , tive she might be, was something he would never voluntarily consent to do. And when the question was the salva tion or ruin of her husbnnd's firm, its discussion was clearly not to be thought of. But there the lady sat, and it was quite impossible to neglect her. He must do something. And, like all great captains, believing a vigorous attack the best de fence, he started into entertain her to the very best of his ability. For, if any thing could divert her attention from im pending trouble, it was Downs' conversa tion when he really threw himself into it. He commenced by telling her some hu morous incidents of his recent Southern trip, and drifted by degrees into a de ■vriptinn of Southern life and the beau tics of Southern scenery. Obviously he wa: leading up to some of his war r miniseences, for in extremity the col- 1 ' 1 always fell b:;ck upon the adven tu es that had befallen him during his ; irmy life in the South. "And the Shenandoah Valley," here- < marked, after a time, "the Shenandoah 1 Valley is certainly one of the most beau tiful spots in all the South." 1 "Yes, it is," Mrs. Gordon agreed. "I passed my girlhood there, and I go back nearly every year. I don't know whether s it's altogether the beauty of the scenery 1 —perhaps it's the old associations that 1 give it the charm—but I have never 1 found a place that seems to me to com pare with it." "Indeed!" said Downs. "I had no idea - you were a Southerner. Where was your home?" "A few miles out of Winchester on the Martinsburg road. It was my grand father's estate. 'Brantwood,' one of the old Virginia places." "Winchester?" exclaimed Dow ns , "Why, I was there in the old wai'Ttays, when you must have been " He glanced at her and checked himself abruptly. "Ah! 'Brantwood,' did you say? Indeed, I believe I have seen the very place you speak of, though I didnt' know the name in those days." And he added, impressively: "It was near there that I had one of the narrowest escapes of all my army experience. It was really that which gave me such a high opinion of Southern women." Ik paused, and, seeing that he wished encouragement, Mrs. Gordon asked him to tell her about it. "It wr s when F.well went through the valley in '63," he commenced, with cheer ful alacrity. "He headed Lee's army, you know, which was going north to Gettysburg. I was with Milroy's divi sion when it was caught at Winchester by the rebel advance. You wouldn't < <-e to hear about the fighting, of course, but the outcome of it was that those who caped were very glad to get away, and the campaign wasn't ended there, as some of us supposed it would be. "Well, 1 hrid a shot in the foot and was limping along the road next day, when I came to this old-fashioned Vir ginia plantation. 1 was faint from my wound and the long tramp in the dust and heat, and T cant' tell you the pleas ure I felt when I came upon a spring house by the side of the road. A little girl was sitting on the step. She was not over eight or nine years old, I should say, with big black eyes and a very pretty face. I always did have an eye for a pretty face," he added, glancing effectively at the one beside him. "Though the girl was only a little thing, she appreciated my condition and helped me into the spring house, where I could get a seat out of the sun. Then she dipped up a pail of water and helped me while I drank, and afterward helped me bathe and bandage my wound. Just then, while I was resting, I heard horses coming up the road. Horses there meant rebel cavalrymen, and if they found me, I knew I should be promptly sent south to a prison hospital and to pretty certain death. But I couldi|'t get away, and when they drew up before the door I gave myself up for lost. You can imagine my situation. There I was with out a chance of escape from the spring house, and with a squad of thirsty cav alrymen drawn up before the door. "And I certainly should have been cap tured if it hadn't been for that little girl. I didn't dare say a word to her* 1 but she seemed to know just what to do. Be fore I realized it she had caught up the water pail and had carried it out to the horsemen with the most natural manner 'v. the world. There was only three or four of them, and they were too tired t' dismount. They just passed the pail 112: om one to another. And then she brought out water for their horses. I t 11 you, I never appreciated the laek of chivalry in a private soldier as I did that day. If one of those fellows had entered the spring house—and they did offer ( o help her—l should have been taken. "A id when they rode away and I was c afe she was so exhausted by her work and the excitement of what she had done that she just sat down on the step and cried. And you would know I had left out something if I didn't admit that I kissed her, wouldn't you? I was only a boy then, and she was but a r.lip of a girl. and there w;is really nothing else tlir.t would do justice to the occasion." "It was the least you could do, 1 should think," Mrs. Gordon declared, with feeling. "Oh. T promised to do more than that," he added, laughing a little, apparently ashamed of his feeling. "I assured her that some day, when I was a man,l would come back and repay her for what she had done. I promised never to for get her. And 1 never have forgolten lier, for that matter; though, of course, 1 never went back there and never even knew her name." "You really ought to have gone back. You ought to have gone back and mar ried her," said Mrs. Gordon, laughingly. "That's the way they do in books." "Oh, I spoke extravagantly," he admit ted, a little hurt by her tone. "A man will when he's just escaped with his life. But I meant it all at the time. lam not ashamed of it. She saved my life, and if I could have repaid her I should have done it. And even now, though she is a woman by this time and has probably forgotten all about it, I should like to meet her, if only to acknowledge jmy indebtedness. Oh, no. A man doesn't forget a thing like that." The retirement of the ladies inter rupted their conversation. As Mrs. Gordon left him, she paused to remark: "Oh, I am sure I appreciate | your feeling. It does you credit. And —I am very glad you told me this.' ' j A startling thought had come to Mrs Gordon as she was leaving the table, and she was engrossed with the possibilities it suggested. When the men straggled in from the dining-room she was sitting tii a window seat, quite alone. She looked up at Downs with a smile, and as he approached she rose, and with an impul sive movement held out her hand, lie looked puzzled. "I don't know but it was wrong not to tell you at the table," .she commenced hurriedly, "to let you tcjll me that story without knowing. But 1 could not speak somehow, there before them all. And T may have seemed not to appreciate your noble remembrance of me. But I am sure you will understand my feeling. I did not realize it at first. And then it all came over me—the rush of old memo ries " Downs dropped her hand and gazed at her a moment in sheer amazement. "Why," he stammered. "Why. I Good heavens!" he exclaimed. "Do you mean to say that you " "Yes," she said. "I think I was the one. I feel sure I must have been. Though, of course, I was so young that I can't really be certain. I remember such an incident—of a Northern soldier's stopping there and the horsemen riding up. But I never should have guessed it was you." "And you—you were the little girl I found there at the spring house,'" Downs exclaimed. "Why, it's simply astonish ing!" lie looked at her critically. "Black hair and eyes," he muttered. "Do you know,l believe—there's no mistake. You're not as I thought that girl—you, 1 mean—would look. And yet," he gazed at her again, "there is something about you that seems familiar, too—an expres sion about the eyes, a look that I seem to have seen before. This is certainly a wonderful coincidence." "Yes, isn't it!" She motioned hiin to a scat beside her own. "I wish 1 could remember it better,'' she added, "but I was so young then, and so many things happened in those war days. 1 used often to watch the soldiers march past the house. And when the stragglers would come along I would sometimes slip off down to the spring house, where they stopped." "Well, I'm glad I happened to tell it," said Downs. "And, do you know,l felt from the first that there was something strangely attractive about you. I must tell Fenwick and the others.'' "No, please don't mention it," she said hurriedly. "It would be most em barrassing for me." "Of course, whatever you wish. But T feel as though I owed you the public acknowledgment. I don't see why " "Call it a woman's vanity," she an j svvered, with a laugh. "Vanity?" "Why, yes. Don't you see, if I was eight years old in war times, I must be —oh, ever so old by now." "Eh? Oh, yes, I see. I understand. But I'm sure you don't look it. Upon my word, you don't. Rut I'm very glad to have discovered you again, for 1 have often wondered whatever became of you. But at all events, I can thank you now, after the years that have passed, with out fear of being misunderstood. And if there was anything I could do to re pay you—l don't mean that. Of course, I never could repay you—but to show my appreciation—if there was anything I could do to prove that, I would do it gladly." "Would you?' said Mrs. Gordon, low ering her voice and gazing earnestly into his face. "There is something you could do—something that is of great import ance to me. But I fear—l'm afraid I ought not to ask you." Downs gasped. If it had come in any other way he could have met it. "Anything I can do—anything that it is in my power to do," he began. "It may seem a very little matter to you," Mrs. Gordon observed. "It is only some shares of stock in the Manhattan Consolidated Improvement Company—l think Manhattan Consolidated is the name of it." He reflected that she probably didn't know where that stocK was being quoted, and that it probably wouldn't make a bit of difference if' she had known. "My husband, you know, has not been able to get the stock, or the shares, or whatever it is. He is out of town now, hut he said that you had it—in a pool or something—and refused to sell. I couldn't understand it very well. But you know it will ruin us if you don't.' Downs sighed helplessly. "So, if you could let him have it— I he thought at first you were going to— [ it would be the greatest accommodation I to us. And personally I should feel that i whatever I had done in the past—what ever 1 rifling service I had rendered you ; as a child—was more than repaid. My ; husband, of course, would never wish i me to speak as I have; and I could not > have done it to —to any one else. But I'm l sure you understand. It doesn't seem a t mere business transaction. It seems more : —more personal." 112 "Ye-ycs. Oh, yes, of course." "And you must understand that I never could have mentioned it, even now, if you had not spoken so kindly of—of what 1 may call our former meeting. And, of course, 1 wouldn't interfere with your business affairs, even by a sugges tion. But 1 know, from the way you spoke, what you would wish to do." She paused and looked at him appeal ingly. Downs' eyes were fixed gloomily upon the carpet. "I would never have dared suggest it— but you spoke so kindly—of course, if it would cause you loss " "No," Downs admitted hopelessly. "I suppose it wouldn't be much loss." "Then you can ?" she said, eagerly. "I'm—l'm afraid," he stammered weakly, "that it's hardly possible. Har vey is the—you sec, he is really—that is, it's being managed by Harvey, you know. I myself haven't anything to— that is—well", he is really the one who is managing it, you see." "Yes?" For a moment he wavered, while. Iris standing with this woman and with George Harvey hung In the balance. "Yes," he Rasped at length, dabbing his hot forehead with a handkerchief, "I suppose that I might—that I—l could help you. Yes. I will. I will send word to Mr. Pratt in the morning. Yes, yoii may relv tipon me." "I shall never forget your kindfiess," she said, with emotion. "Oh, don't mention it! I'm—of course, you know, I'm only too glad of an opportunity to repay you." Glancing up, Downs saw his wife ap proaching. He rose and held out his hand. Mrs. Gordon pressed it. "You have more than repaid me," she murmured, as he turned away. "Why did I write you that I had done something awful and not tell you what it was?" said Mrs. Gordon, when she saw her husband a few days later. "Why, because I had done something awful, something perfectly dreadful. Oh, I be lieve I am the most wretched woman in the world. But I did save you. Clem. For you know he let Mr. Pratt have that stock, or whatever it was you wanted, the very next day. And I be lieve it was all that odiotis Harvey, as you said at first. For he—l mean Mr. Downs, dear—is certainly One of the nicest old gentlemen I ever met. There is more in him than you would think. He has a kind heart—you needn't smile —indeed he has. His remembrance of that little girl who saved his life was perfectly lovely. And when I think how basely I acted " "You haven't told me yet how basely you did act," remarked her husband. "Oh, it was perfectly dreadful. I don't see how I ever could have done it. I shall never get over it. I wish we had confessions and absolution in our church. My conscience will trouble me as long as I live, I'm sure. And if lie should ever discover it. I should die, I know I should. I could never look him in the face again. And if he should happen to tell his wife, she would know at once. And even he might have known. Yes, lie was very ready to believe me old enough. Why, I should have to be nearly forty-five. And he ought to know 1 wasn't even born when his battle of Get tysburg was fought." "Whenever you feel like telling me, my dear," suggested her husband. "Why, he told me a story, the most touching thing, about a little girl who saved his life during the war. Down near grandfather's old place in Virginia; and—and I let him think I was the one who had done it.'' "Oh, one of his war stories, eh? And he promised to let up on us, did he? Tell me the story; tell me all about it." She did so. "And you never would have thought he had so much real nobility, would you, dear? And when I think of how wick edly I imposed upon him " "Why," exclaimed her husband, after a moment's thought, "Downs never saw the Shenandoah Valley in war." "What!" "No; he belonged to the heavy ar tillery and was garrisoned in New Or leans' from the time the city was cap tured till he was mustered out." "And that story was all made up?" "It was, though. I looked up his war record when he ran for Congress.'^ "It can't be. I won't believe it. Then why didn't he refuse me?" "I suppose, my dear, that it must have been because he was influenced by a charming woman. And, incidentally, be cause lie wanted you to think him as good as he said he was." "Why, what a perfect wretch!" said Mrs. Gordon. Bits of luformation. Cotton is the most valuable export of the United States. Four tunes as many immigrants come from Italy as from Ireland.

IMCTOWAL MAGAZINE AND COMIC SUCTION Fashion's forecast for September points very emphatically to short sleeves and indicates that they are in higher fa vor than ever, not alone for waists and bodices, but for outer wraps. Advance importations of Paris styles now on view in the Fifth avenue shops show the most pronounced fall and winter coals and wraps with half and three-quarter length sleeves, and this in spite of all predic tions that the fall would see radical changes in sleeves. There's no denying the youthful effect of the short, puffed sleeves; they somehow take years of! one's appearance, which helps to explain why the short sleeve is too well en trenched in my lady's favor to be quickly deposed. A pleasing innovation is noted in the return of those becoming lace undcr sleeveS that were the craze about six years ago. They are full length and close fitting, falling over the hands in long points, like mitts. Made of trans parent lace, in either black or white, they are extremely effective, and the wo man with thin arms will rejoice at their return to favor. Sleeves have somehow grown to be the determining factor in fashions, the vital point, the center about which every thing else revolves.

A ten-year-old street urchin, a product of the tenement, Was recently accused of stealing jam from a woman living in an adjoining house. When brought to the Children's Court the child confessed, broke down and wept. The judge looked at him pityingly. "My boy," he said kindly, "how many times have you done this?" "Onct," was the reply. "Will you promise not to steal any more jam? - ' "Yep," he muttered between his sobs, "if she'll keep her pantry door locked all the time." SHAVED SOME ONE ELSE. An officer of a certain regiment was one morning inspecting his company 011 paratle when he came to an Irishman who had evidently not shaved for some days. Halting in front of the man, he said: "Doyle, how is it you have not shaved this morning?" "Oi have, sorr," was the reply. "How dare you tell me that," said the officer, "with a beard 011 vou like that!" "Well, sorr," said Paddy, "it's loike this. There's only one looking-glass in our room, and there was nine of us all shaving at the same time, and maybe Oi shaved some other chap's face." New York and London Items of (• real ncsn lis the Two Cities Where We Exoel. It is said of London, in praise of its greatness, that: In London a child is born every three minutes and a death is recorded every five minutes. Ihe city contains 700 rail way stations, 5,000 omnibuses, 7,000 hansoms, 14,000 <-ab and 7,000 tramcars. Daily 1,000,000 pcrs'-ns travel on under ground railways. Eleven railway bridges span the Thames. Four thousand postmen de liver 10,000,000 letters weekly, walking a distance equal to twice the circumference of the globe. There are to,ooo miles of overhead telegraph wires, and the num ber of telegraph messages received in London in a year is 6,000,000. Ninety million gallons of water are consumed daily. Ihe railways, omni buses, cabs and steamboats convey 1,273r 000,000 passengers daily, and the under ground railways 263,000,000 passengers. The itR Square miles of London are lighted by -1.074 electric arc lights, 1,185 electric incandescent lights, 56,000 in candescent gas lamps and 18,248 flat flame gas burners. Well, Nfew York can do something in the same lines of municipal greatness. With a smaller number of inhabitants it exceeds it in the. volume of travel, in the amount paid for work, in the volume of work done, and in the increase in the number of buildini' •, oc cupants of a building and <>f population. Where London consumes 00.000,000 gallons of water a <':ty, N"\v Y. rk con sumes 500,000,000. Where London has nn area of 118 square miles, New York lias 326. Tll New York every minute two immi grants arrive—more than t. 000,000 a year. Every six minutes a child is born. Every seven minutes there is a funeral. Every hour a new building is erected. New York has more children at its public schools than London; fewer paup ers; a lower death rate; fewer uninhab ited houses; more parks, more bridges, fewer jails, a better distributed street traffic and a higher .standard of health. New York's subway carries more pas sengers in a day than London's under ground. The number of crimes of violence is twice as large in London as in New York, and the number of ar rests for drunkenness in London is four times as great as the number of arrests for the same cause in New York. New York has more fires in a year than London, and they entail greater loss. It has less shipping as a port than London, fewer clerks to the whole popu lation employed, but more bosses or em ployers.
