She came with an old gentleman, who registered the pair as 'S. Scamper and granddaughter. New York city. They were doubtless poor folks on a holiday. They bad no servants with them. The old man wore a suit of rather rusty black, and his trunk, an antique leathern conveniency, bore the letters S. S. In brass headed nails. The young woman's trunk sha had but oue- was large enough and of modern make, but it was apparently not weil filled, since she had shown but three dresses all the three weeks she remained. One of these, of rich material, she wore of evenings; the other two, of some washable material, were worn alternately In daytime. She had no jewelry beyond a plain gold brooch. One of the eli gible joung men there said that the 'Scamp er has one Sunday go to tneetin' ana two work-day suits,' for which his neighbor should hive kicked Mm, rmt didu't. Tho eligible young man was looking for an eligi ble mate in the person of Miss Bolsovtr, the great heiresa, whom the society paper had said was com In ft. to tho IUppaquah ; though as she hadn't come, the Urown's young ruiin of the society paper labored under a delu sion. The match-making dowagers did not fear this modest, pretty, and well-cultured young woman, for tiie ailded youth, who: were also lying in wait for Miss Boidover, much more gilded, did not dangle in her train. Indeed, she had no train. Her busi ness was to look after her poor old grandfa ther, who was not in good health, and with wnom the waters seemed to agree. Didy mus Dodd, who had scraped an acquaint ance with old Scamper, as the fellows irrev erently called him,eeemed to be her admirer, but Didvmus was nobody, rje was well made, tall, handsome, and of good address ; but he was only an upper clerk In a Phil, delphia insurance company. To be sure, he would be superintendent after January, rt'ce niggiDS, retired and superannuated, and would then draw a salary of five thousand a year. But no one knew that, and the pos sible good fortune to poor Miss Scamper; and bad they known, five thousand a year was no great matter. So the field was left to Miss Scamper and welcome. Didymus only began paying attentions to Miss Scamper out of courtesy, and btcaase no one else did ; but the more he saw of her the more he liked her, and it ended In his being badly hit. As he and she were the only impecunious people at the old-fashioned resort the other visitors counting their dollars well up Id the hundred thousands the matter attracted attention, apd by way of getting both out of the way of marriage able sons and daughters, scheming mothers lent the affair all the quiet encouragement possible. And this passed into a more act ive natare from two little incidents tbat oc curred about ten days before the end of the two months' vacation of Didymus There was a Mrs. De Nyse at the Springs, who was well known as an amateur voealist of merit, and whose voice, though a little seedy In the upper notes, bad been trained so well as to make her worth hearing. One evening when a few war In the parlors, her friends besought her to favor them, and so on, and she expressed ber readiness, but there happened to be no accompanist. Miss Scamper, wbo was chatting near by with Didymus, looked up, and quietly said, 'Per. haps 1 can serve you in that way, Mrs. De Nyse.' 'Can you play at sight, Miss Scampet?' in quired Mrs. De Nyse. Miss Scamper nodded assent, and seated herself at the piano forte, and accompanied the voice with such good judgment that the singer was delighted. 'I wish I could carry yon about with me, my dear,' she said. 'But do you not sing ? Yon surely most.' A little.' Urged by all around, Miss Scamper, to her own accompaniment, sang an aria from H Trovatort. Iter voice proved to be a rich soprano, of full register, clear as a silver bell, and admirably cultivated. There was a moment's pause when she had done, as though not to lose a note, and then a storm of applause. Here was a sensation. Everybody talked of her method, and the gilded youth were In raptures. The mammas conferred, and con cluded that Miss Scamper was a member of some church choir, or attached to some Eng lish opera troupe, who koew? But they were civil. There was a parly going over to Al mont, Colonel Parsifall's place, Dext day. Would she go? She assented. Didymus said to her ln a low voice : 'It Is a riding party. Miss Scamper. I know the best horse in the livery-stable here and It you'll permit me, I'll secure it for yon.' To which she replied la the same tone : 'Thank you, Mr. Dodd ; you are very kind ; but I haie one at command already. Get that for yourself. Somewhat rebuffed, Didymus colored, but she added, 'Mine shall not disgrace you,' which was a distinct intimation tbat she ex pected him as escort. The spirits of Didy mus rose from zero to blood beat. The next morning, as the riders were rea dy to start, a groom known to be one of Colonel Parsifalls, rode up leading a manifi cent blooded bay horse, equipped with a side-saddle. As they were admiring the an imal. Miss Scamper, in a reat tiding habit, made her appearance. The groom took off his hat. Didymus, not a little astonished, put forth his hand, and the lady vaulted to the back of the horse with easy grace. The cavalcade set out. Miss Scamper and Didy mus together, and being better mounted than the others, were soon at the bead of the column. About a mile from the Springs there was a bar In the way. A lofty tulip tree had been Mown down during the night, and iutd fallen across the road, the trunk well up on account of the wide roots. Some one had aires. ly cleared a way l letting down fen ces on the roa d-side; bet Mis Scamper did not go around with the rest She faced tho trunk, the horse went over, and then trotted un. Didymus raced tt too. Uis brute got over, but half tumbld. Didymus was country-bred, had ridden horses to mill. bare backed, and was i half centaur when a boy; so he brought his horse up. Miss Scamper smiled approvingly. Everybody admired the ease and grace with which Miss Scamper managed her horse and Didymus more than aaybody. When they arrived at their destination, tne party dispersed in tne bouse and over the ground. They found old Scamper there, lie had gone on before in a carry all. Almonl was the property of Colonel Almond and was for eale, with its fine blooded stock of horses and cattle, its furni ture, its library, and everything in the house and around it. The Colonel and his family were in Europe, and Intended to stay there while he educated his sons at Heidelberg. So he offered the whole a house that coat a hundred and thirty thousand dollars, with all its offices of all kinds, stables, palmery, grapery and greenhouses, furniture made to order, and over twelve hundred acres of land in a high atate of cultivation 'for, as be said in bis letter, 'a mere song.' So It was ; but as it was et to the tune of three hundred thousand dollars, there were few who could render the music. They all admired the place. The agent, who was there, teized on the Scmper and Didymus, to whom he showed everything and explained everything. Didymus was amused at this, and whispered to Miss Scam per, 'lie picked out the only three who could certainly not buy it.' Miss Scamper, by the twinkle In her eyes, evidently appreciated the fun of the situation. Then tbe agent seized old Scamper, and dragged him off to look at the blood horses and imported cat tle, leaving Didymus and the girl together. 'How do you like the place, Mr. Dodd?' Inquired she. 'Like tt. Miss Scamper ! Why, it is a gar den of Eden ; that Is, it would be so to Die, if I had it with an Eve In It. The young lady smiled, and said : 'You like country life, then, Mr. Dodd?' 'Naturally, replied Didymu. '1 lived in the country until I was twenty two. I was bora and bred there. I should have been theie yet but fur the death of both my pa rents. I went to the eity in search of for tune. I have done very well for the last seven years, and have put a little by ; but to covet a place like this is lika wishing for the moon .' The country Is the place to live in, and the city to work in,' said Miss Scamper, sen tentiously. 'To live in, I grant you, if you have the mesns a good farm and the money to work it. Otherwise you toil harder tn the coun try than in town, with less comfort and leu ptofit' Then tbey discoursed on rural topics, with a marvellous unity of sentiment, until the venerable Scamper and the agent got baek, which was at tbe time the whole party, each with a nosegay furnished by the gardener from tbe greenhouses, wat ready for a re tuta to the Springs. There were yet two days of the young man's vacation left, when he determined to place bis fate at Miss Scamper's disposal at the first opportunity. The chance came that very night. That evening a number were seated on the veranda, enjoying the moonlight. Miss Scamper sat apart from tbe rest; In heavy shadow, with her grand father. The old fcentleman rose when Dodd came, and left Miss Scamper made room for Didymus at her side, and the two began to talk of tbe day's doings. 'By the-by,' said Didymus, 'have you heard that Almont has been sold ?' Yes.' And to the great heiress, Miss Bolsover. I wonder if she will keep old maid's hall there ?' Miss Scamper laughed a low, silvery laugh, 'i presume she will.' she said, 'no less she chances to marry. Wasn't that a sad accident at the mill to-day?' 'Very- The man has a wife and five chil dren. I went over to see how they were to see If tbey were In pressing need, you know; but that part is all right. This Miss Bolsover, who must be staying somewhere near, bad been there, and provided for all their wants. I suppose, as she has bought Almont, she means to play tbe Lady Boun tiful here, which is all tbe better for Micky and bis family.' I believe, Mr. Dodd,' said the lady, 'that you play tbe part of Lord Bountiful some- ! times, especially if some poor woman left with four children should rouse your sym pathies.' j 'How did you know ?' he asked. 'A little bird told me,' she said. 'You not only paid Mrs. Grant's rent, but got ber el dest boy employment, and thea fairly ran away to avoid ber thanks. She was full of yonr praises.' j 'But she did not know my name, said Didymus. 'True ; but don't you remember tbat a veiled lady was fitting there the last time you eame ? Tbat was I. I was in Philadelphia on a visit, and looked up Mrs. Grant, who had been a servant la our family before she married. She told me of ber troubles, and bow a stranger had helped ber. I looked at you well, and when you came here I knew you in an Instant.' Didymus felt his heart flutter. Now was the time, but bis tongue refused its office. After a little pause, Miss Scamper said, '1 have had a very pleasant time here, and am almost sorry that I leave to-morrow." To-morrow I cried Didymus, In despera tion, seizing her hand, which was not with drawn. 'Oh, Ruth Miss Scamper yon must have seen ' Here be stopped, but the fingers of the lady tightened a little in his grasp. A frieudly eloud passed oyer the moon, and the recess grew darker. 'I love you. Roth, darling,' be murmured, and drew her unresistingly toward him. The people in tbe veranda were too busy In conversation to hear a faint sound made at the sealing of a compact between two foolsb young people. But once it was all settled, the tongue of Didymus was fairly unloosened, and be went on building his their joint scheme of life. lie told her of the money he bad laid away, and the big salary in prospect, and the cozy little subur ban cottage on the Schuylkill, with its acre of ground, that he would be able to buj . 'And there Is room for grandfather to live with us.' he said. That might not suit him, Didymus, she replied, 'though il is kind and thounhtful of yon. He would prefer his own larger house in New York." His larger house !' cried Didymus. I thought he was poor.'

TIIREK KLEPHAST STORIES'. Major Rodgers had been otit shooting, and had discharged all of his guns, when an ele phant made a charge at him from the edge of the jungle. There was no help for it ex cept to run, and or four hundred yards the Major kept just ahead . feeling at every step as If the elephant's trunk was trying to twist itself around hi loins. A turn around a tree gave him a momentary advantage, which he made the moet of by springing up Into the branches ; hut before he had time to draw up I is legs the elephant bad got him with his proboscis. Still Rodgers pulled against him ; thinking that It was better to have his legs wrenched from the socket than to fall back bodily Into the animal's power. The struggle did not last long, for, to the delight of the pursued and the chagrin of the pursuer, the Wellington hoot which the former wore slipped off, releasing the foot and saving the lite of poor Rogers. The dilemma, however, did not end here, for the elephant, finding himself balked of his prey, took up his quarters under the tree, and besieged his anticipated victim for twenty four hours, when tliei couutry postmau hap pened to pass hy. Rogers gave him notice of his position and soon help came, and the elephant wa frightened away by tom-toms and yelling. Had this occurred in a desert ed part of the jungle, the officer must have been starved to death In the tree. There Is a beautiful story about an old elephant engaged In battle on the plains of India. He was a standard bearer, the ral lying point of the Poona host At the be ginning of the fight he lost his master. The 'mahout,' or driver, had Just given him the word to halt when be received a fatal weund and fell to the ground where he lay under a heap of slain. The obedient ele phant stood stil! while the battle closed around him and the standard he carried. ne never stirred a foot, refusing to advance or retire, as the conflict became hotter and fiercer, and the Mahrattas, seeing the stand ard still flying in Its place, refused to believe they were being beaten, and rallied aaln and again round the color. And all this while amid the din of battle, the patient an imal stood, straining its ears to catch the sound of the voice It would never hear again. At last the tide of conquest left the field de serted. The Mahrattas swept on Id pursuit of the flying foe, but the elephant, like a rock, stood there, with the dead and dying around it. and the ensign waving In its place. For three days and three nights it remained where Its master had given It the command to halt. No bribe or threat could move It They then sent to a village 100 miles away, and brought the mahout's little son. The noble hero seemed then to remem ber bow the driver had sometimes given his authority to the little child, and Immediate ly, with all his shsttered trappings clang as he went, paced quietly and slowly away. Tbe native Hindoo, from want of thought keeps up a constant drumming on the beast's head with the goad, or 'ankus.' I, therefore, hoped not to use It at all. Such an improvement all at onee.however, proved more than the elephantine mind could grasp. He began really to enjoy himself, going bis own way more than mine, until at last he walked under an Immense banyan tree and commenced to browse. He seized tbe boughs overhead and tugging violently at them brought them down on my devoted skull. This was toe much. I raised the an kus and brought It down yn his head with a force that brought the blood. This bad tbe desired effect, and he at once bundled off along the road be knew I wanted him to go. He merely took with him a branch, the size of a small apple tree, to discuss as we went along. From that time we were friends, and I don't think I ever bad to use tbe hook again so as to bring blood.

More than thirty years ago I was Jiving at a small town called Winslow, aboat eight miles from Buckingham, and I may as well mention that I was and still am a lady of small but independent means ; but I was then about tweaty-four and now well. I need not finish that seatence. At the period to which I refer, the little gossiping country town, was greatly excited by a report that a gang of professional thieves were busy in tbe neighborhood. Several most artful burglaries bad been effected, and in the surrounding country loads and lanes persons had been robbed by strategy always without violence. Just at that time I had occasion to go to Buckingham, and, as the railway to tbat town was not then available, I decided to drive there in my little basket-chaise, accom panied by my servingtnan, who was coach man, groom, and gardener all in one. I tad business in Buckingham at my law yer's, and intended to put up at the princi pal inn there and retura home tbe next day. As I dressed myself Tor my drive, my young cousin, Mary Ward, wbo was staying at my house, aaiu to me Emily, don't wear tbat beautiful hrooeh to-day.' 'Why not. my dear ?' said I, at tbe same time fastening in tbe brooc h to which she bad alluded, which was very handsome and very valuahle. both for the diamonds It was set with and for a lock or hair tbat it con tained, which was one of my greatest trea sures. 'There are thieves about,' said Mary. Well,' I said, 'uo one will get close to me sitting in my little chaise.' And yon'll pass the gypsy camp,' contin ued Mary. 'Suppose half a dozen great gypsy men were to spring at your chaise, and make a dask at your brooch, Sandy would be nowhere.' For Sandy, as we called Alexander Thorns my man, was small and near sighted, and certainly not great In strength or courage. I laughed, for I really had no fears. The turnpike road from Winslow to Buck ingham was straight as a line, and neither loneiy or romantic. There was no danger, as I told my cousin, and soon after I set off. It was a beautiful September afternoon, and I was enjoying tbe freshness of the air wben, as we walked the pony up a rather long hill, about a mile out of town, I saw the figure of a plainly-dressed elderly wo man tolling on before as on root, and pre sently she turned round and seemed to be waiting for us. 'I beg your pardon,' she said, coming up to the chaise, as we slowly approached her, but I think I address Miss Slmmonds.' I acknowledged that that was and she continued my name, 'I am an old acquaintance of Mrs. Bolton, of Swanbourne. I believe you know ber?' 'Mrj. Bolton is a very old frieDd of mine,' I replied. 'I have come from her house to-day,' said the stranger, 'and am oollged to get to Buck ingham on business. She told ma that you were driving there this afternoon, and tbat 1 might make so bold as to mention ber name, and ask you to kindly give me a jjft It's a long way to walk.' It Is, Indeed. said 1. 'But why did you not come to my boose with Mis. Bolton's message ?' 'I got a lift from Swanbourne right thro' Winslow in a cart, ma'am.' replied tbe wo man, 'and then I thought I would not trou ble jcu. Put I find I can scarcely manage a seven mile walk.' Well, get up.' said I, for there was a lit tle back seat to my pony-chaise. Of course I am glad to accommodate any friend of Mrs. Bolton's. 'I am scarcely a friend, said the woman, 'but 1 was once In ber service, and she knows me well.' So saying, she got up, and we jogged along. After addressing a few civil remarks to her I relapsed into silence, for I am one that likes quietness tn traveling, until passing the edge of a common that skirts one of the outlying villages we saw tbe gipsy camp close to us. I thought of Mary, when several great, rough-looking gipsiefc approached tba chaise and begged. My pony shied at them, and presently stopped. One of them reached over and laid his hand on my little Maltese dog which sat by my side ; but as 1 turned angrily upon him, he withdrew directly, declaring be meant no harm. I threw tbera some bslf-pence, and pre sently, the pony having recovered, we drove on and in doe time reached Buckingham, and clatteied into the yaid of tbe principal ion. The strange woman got down first, and begged tbat she might help me to alight She was very grateful for ber ride, and saij she should be able to return to Swan bourne by a carri er's cart As I stepped down she was wishing me good-day wben suddenly she said "Ma'am your crape is unfastened, and ex cuse me, but I think tbat you bad a brooch on.' I put up my hand In alarm, and, sure enough, my costly brooch was gone. We hunted the bottom of the chaise In vain. 'It's them gipsies, said Sandy, ln great consternation. 'It's them confounded gyp sies. They made the pony shy a-purpose to take me off them tbat they might do their thieving.' But they never tr4 near roe,' crkd I. I think they did, ma'am,' saisl the stran ger, gravely ; 'I rear they did. When the man laid his hand on your dog, I watched that he should not take Its sliver collar. In stead of that he took your diamond brooch. 'I cau't tbiuk bow It Is possible,' I said ia great Vexation. "Ah ! you don't know bow artful them gipsies are, miss, said Sandy. Well, my brooch was gone, and there seemed no way of even trying to lecover It. 'I can't understand it,' I said to tbe land lady, talking it over with ber. 'I fael almost certain I laid my finger on my brooch, and felt It safe as we drove Into Buckingham. We had a jerk as we turned that cornel, and I remember stooping over my dog, a be seemed frightened. I wonder whether It came un-lona then?' 'ir there Is any chance or that,' said the landlady, 'It might be lying in the street We will send for the crier.' So the crier was put into requisition ; and as Buckingham, though larger than Wins tow, is but a small place, a considerable sensation was excited and I became rather a heorine The elderly stranger stayed with me at the Inn for some time. She explored the pony-chaise, shook out the wraps and mats, and when further search was hopeless, wished me good-day, with repeated thanks and expressions of sorrow at my loss, and walked away. Well, nothing came of the efforts or the town crier. I sent to the police, but thev seemed to think It a hopeless case. "When once those gipsies get hold of any thing,' said they, 'there's no chance of trac ing It' So I paid my visit to my lawyer, returned to my inn tor the night and the next day drove back to Winslow, noticing, as we passed, that tbe gipsies' camp had entirely disappeared. 'No wonder they are gone, said Sandy ; 'they got a lucky hit, miss. They may make off with a good many doren cocks and hens berore they get the value or that 'ere dia mond brooch.' Mary could not refrain from a little tri umphant 'I told you so reproach ; but when she saw how vexed I was at my loss she soon desisted ; and when a week had passed, I began to get over it aod forget It. But the matter was recalled to my mind very unexpectedly. About a month after the oecurre2e I bad a call from Mr. Bolton, who came Into Winslow shopping, and as usual took lunch with me, and I naturally mentioned her old servant, whe had driven with me lrto Buck ingham. At first she looked surprised, but present ly seeming to recollect eald Oh, you mean old Molly Sears, ear old nurse. Did you overtake her near Bucking ham ? Not at all. I replied. 'She was only just out of Winslow. She gave me your message and I took her up and drove her to Bucking ham.' 'But I never sent any message.' said Mrs. Bolton, bewildered : 'and Molly is at Buck ingham. I then related all the circumstances to Mrs. Bolton, but she shook" her head. It was some impostor. said she. 'There Is no old servant of mine aboat except old Molly, and she Is eighty and walks with a crutch." Then it flasthed across my mind that the gipsies did not steal my brooch. 1 was open lag my mouth to speak, when my servant said that a person on business wanted to speak to me particularly, and I lert my rrieud, and stepped into the next room. There I found a Buckingham tradesman, a jeweller, with whom 1 bad several deal ings, one whom I knew to be a most worthy and respectable man. Miss Siramonds.' said he, after the firt greetings, 'wil'. you favor me with a minute description of the brooch you lost when driving Into Buckingham In the last month ? Tt was oval shaped.' said I. 'and set round with rubies and diamonds. In tbe centre there was a locket, with llgnt hair In It. On the back was engraved 'E. S,, from J. II. 1819.' ' Mr. Pope majf no answer, but took a lit tle box oat of his pocket, opened It, aud there was my brooch ! I screamed out for Joy, and Mrs. Bolton came ranning in. Wbo travel lei with you ln your chaise. Miss Simmonds?' said Mr. Pope, smiling. 'A person I took np on the road,' said I, now greatly excited 'a woman, tall, and rather old, who said she knew this lady, Mrs. Bolton, which she didn't Oh, she's the thief, I see. Plainly dressed, with a gruff voice, and grey hair. 'Jnst so.' eald Mr. Tape. This person, madam,' turning to my friend. Is a most daring and artful thler, but there Is an end now to his tricks. 'Yes. bis tricks, ma'am. Tbe thief was a man In woman's clothes. Ob, dear I oh, dearl cried Mrs. Bolton, stiuck with a new thought; 'I see It all. There was a man about our premises Just at that time prying Into everything, ne pre tended to come with a message from my brother at Bletchley, but I found out after wards that he did not. And I remember talking about Miss Simmonds before Mot while he sat eating a meal In tbe kitchen. I remember telling Anne tbat Miss Siramonds would drive Into Buckingham the next day. But I said nothing abont a brooch.' 'He had means of Coding out that we know nothing or,' said Mr. Pope. 'But I must tell you bow tbe lost treasure was re covered. 'Perhaps you know that I have a relative In my own way or business at Leighton Buzzard. Well, I have just been spending a tew days with bim, seeing to a Utile matter between us. 'I was standing behind his counter yetter- uay, wnen a snaony joung worn n, with a very woe -begone face, came whlnine;, and asking what I would gtve ber for It she must part with it she ssid. Somehow I didn't like the tone of her voice, and, taking up the brooch, I suddenly thought of your loss and the deecripUoa given out by the town crier. Well, to make a long story short, we tsve this young won. an in chaige ou suspicion, and by means of threats managed llitouirti her to get at the real their this man who walks about In woman's clothes, and who will very soon be out of tbe way of t! ieviog for considerable time. Well, this ts how I lost my brooch and how 1 fouud it again. Winslow and Buckingham have greatly Increased in size since those days, and the railway connects them by the ride of a few minutes. And even the village of Swanbourne. close by where Mrs. Bolton lived, has its railway station, and all things are altered. But I never see the old road w ithout thinking or that drive, wben I sat serene and uncon scious with that dreadful tuan-woaiai thif behind me, while the poor vsgahord gipsies wandered on the Common. u '1
