HERBERT'S FORTUNE.
Old Mr. Tumbull had a will or hid
own. No one disputed the fact, and
possibly no one would have objected to
It, had" he acknowledgod the right of
anyone else to have a will of his own;
but this he waa by no means content to
do. being of tho opinion, it seemed,
that he possessed the monopoly of the
art eh'.
llr:.rt Langley did not often go
against his uncle's will, but when he did,
then came the tug of war.
Mr. Timihull had forbidden his
'nephew. iimi.T pain of hia perpetual dis-'pli-ni-ure.
wli'-h mrant disinheritance
and an end "f all intercourse between
thom. ev.-n to dream of a marriage with
jKth.'l .l.".r.:s; and th young man had
;.iuiell inf. rim-d him that the said mar
iriage had ci-ased to be a niotler .f
dreams, and was very toon to l ea reaiity.
r eii-j-Mjiieni ly, p: war was de lared ;
tlltrl ..-i t was ordered to leavo Ms imHc'n
'hon-e at a moment s notiee, and Ger
itrudo Uoddy, the orphan daughter of a
dUtatit relative, was installed in his

Herbert had saved Ethel Jarvis" life,
in a v.-ry heroic and praisevort hy mai'
'ner. upon the occasion of a t.-rribio 1-o.it

"For whom are you In mourning,
Linda?" asked Visa Gertrude Roddy, of
her maid, as the latter braided the heavy
masses of her lutrous black hair, and
rolled it about Iit handsome head.
" For my father, madam."
"Has he been long dead?"
"No oh no. It is only nine months
since he did," ;he girl replied In a low
voice.
" Nine monthj ! Wrhy, that Vs nearly a
year ! I had pit off mourning for my
father by that tine !"
And the lady loved wdth the rose rib
bons of her do e-colored peignoir, and
6hook her head with a gentle sigh.
" I will wen- my diamonds, Linda.
Have you got tlem ready?"
"Yes, madam But you requested me
to remind you to try the effect of the
sapphires with tds wine-colored velvet."
' Oh. yes ; so '. did. I think it will be
charming."
Shall I be admired, Linda? Will
Colonel Kaeba-n admire me, do you
think?"
"He must bevery deficient In taste if
he does not," the maid replied wit a
smile; " your b-n, madam."
"I think so myself," Gertrude an
swered, rcgard.-ig herself in the mirror
with undisguiwd approval. "Herbert
Langley was ;ertaiuly a very foolish
youiiK man, arJ quite blind to his own
interests."
And with a shrug and a -light laugh
she turned andswept away.
Miss Itoddyippreciated her new maid,
and valued hi.hly tlie improvement in

forbade his narrlage with me, but
insisted on In marrying her. Dear

feared to stay. -
"And he wis right. For if I read

MAOKAY AND Cte COAOHMAN.
The Actor Mmkee A Clever I'rartical
Aloke, at a Coarhmtn') Kipenx.
A handsome closed brougham, with
an enameled monogram upon the
shining olive panels and the silver
lamps and polished mountings glis
tening in the sunlight, stood before
one of the great stores in Union
Square.
Tlie coats of the tall bay horses
were glossy and smooth, the sLlver
mountod harness trappings shone bright
ly, and everything about the equipage
was as it should be, except tho coach
man. Not that the coachman was less ele
gant in appearance than the carriages
or the horses. Tho proportions of Ids
chest were majestic, his great coat
fitted without a wrinkle. Ids tall silk
hat slivuio with the utidimmed luster of
the maker's gloss, a handsome fur
capo adorned Ids broad shoulders and
his gloves were new and perfect.
liut instead of hoi. ling his head erect
with that dignity and hauteur that be
long alone to coachmen and kings, ho
nodded sleepily upon Ids box and every
other minute his chin sank into the
fur of his cape. There were no other
carriages noar and the sloepv coach
man's lie.nl Imbbed up and down.
Destiny had arranged that at this
juncture of affairs John A. Muekay
should be passing through Union Square
with a friend on Ids way to dres3 for
the afternoon performance of "Evange
line" at tlie Fourteenth Street thea
tre. The comedian entertains a lofty con
tempt for men who cannot stay up
threo nights in succeeslon and remain
awake the next day ; and, therefore,
when he caught sight of tho nodding
coachman, his soul was disturbe!. He
stopped and remarked to his friend :
" I'll bet ft that that duffer will
nod his hat off in less than eight
minutes,"
Tlw-other refused the risk as unduly
hazardous, and the two watched the
coachman for a few moments, and were
about to walk on again, when Mr.
Mackay was suddenly seized with an
inspiration.
He hade his friend go on and wait for
him before the next show window.
Then he stepped up to tho side of the
carriage, opened tbe door softly and
then slammed it shut again.
Tho effect upon the coachman was
electrical. Up went his chin into tho
air. and In his features could be de
teetel tho relief he felt that his mis
tress had got iuto the carriage without
detecting his criminal sleepiness.
Then he turned his head slightly to
receive his direetioiis. and observed Mr.

Some time ago a Confidential clerk
In the eniploy of a firm in Indiana
skipped the gutter with several thou
sand dollars in ready cash. While it
was determined to hunt him flown at
all hazards, the firm did not fel like
wasting a great deal of money in so
doing.
A one-hore country detective was
therefore employed, and after a while
he traoAwl hits man to Detroit. The
detective didn't propose to share any
of tho glory with the Detroit officers,
and he slid around fr a week beforo
he learned that his man was- in Wind

man at one of the hotels informed
him that the defaulter had just gone
to Toronto, but would be back in a
few days.
The pair became fast friends, and
the nice young man had his daily
drinks and cigars at the detective's
expense.
The two came over to Detroit and
attended tho theater and had good
times, and it was the opinion of the
officer that he never met such a nice
young man.
Finally, a night or two ago, as they
landed from the boat on the other
side, the detoctivo inquired :
" Y'ou must be an agent of some
sort?"
" Oh, no," was tho reply, " I am
simply traveling for pleasure.'

A Bkltfat Young Canvasser.
A good story is told of a little girl,
whose mother is a member of Bosworth
Relief Corps, which goes to show that
even at her tender age she is smart
enough to run a fair.
The little miss is only rJne years
old. She is very pretty and lady
like. When tho Relief Corps decided to
hold a fair the ladies, as is customary,
asked tho friends to contribute articles
to their various tables.
Now, our little miss thought she
would do business on her own hook.
So she called on many ladies she knew,
interested them in the fair, and when
it wits time to oijen the fair this little
miss had secured so much and of such
variety that a cart had to be sent to
collect the contributions.
This little miss was very attentive
during tho fair. One evening Mayor

lady waltzed up to him and said her
bright face and sparkling eyes attract
ing the attention of listeners:
"Mayor Doering, I am collecting
some money for the fair; wont you
co nt ribute?"
The Mayor put his hand In his pocket,
took out some money, and, without
lo .king at it, handed "it to the little
miss. Siej thanked hliu and vent off,
but in a f.j'.v momenta was back again
and s-i-1 :
" Mayor Doering, I forgot to tell you
that we proposed to print the names
of those contributing tlie money 1 am
collecting. and when you gavo me
some money you didn't stop to look
at it, and I thought you ought to
know that you gave mo seven e;iit.s.
because I didn't believe you would wa it
it printed that the Mayor of Fori land
gave seven cents to the" fair."
A broad smile overspread the Mayor's
face, and, drawing his pocket-book", he
handed the little miss a scrip $" bill.
"Now," aays our little mixs, "I hear
Governor Ruble is here, Mr. Mayor,
and I would like ever so much to be.
introduced. Won't you introduce mo?"
" Certainly," replied his honor, always
gallant, "come with me."
Ho tho couple walked up to whore tho
Governor was, and the Mayor address
ing him, said :
" Governor, here is a little girl who i-j
very anxious to know tho chief ruairis

Tho Governor turned, shook hands
with our littlo miss, asked her her
name, patted her head and asked her
what ho could do for her.
" Why, Governor Robie," she replied,
" I am collecting some money for tlie
fair. Won't you contribute?"
"Of course. I will," replied the Gov
ernor: "what shall I give you?"
" Well, you see," said our little miss,
" Mayor Dif ring has given me fci. ami

WILD E0S3E3.
Grand eat Sight, on the Plains.
I had canpo-1 nar the forks of the
P!" 'te,' and was aroused Just at day
I ';t by footsteps around me. After
lidenhig for a moment I felt sure that
they worn the footsteps of horses. They
seemed to be circling around me not
at a canter not at a trot, but at a mod
erate walk.
It was well that I had peoured my
horse in a thorough manner, for I never
saw him so tiicited. He tugged and
Eulled at his lariat, stood up on his
ind legs, neighed and snorted, pawed
and pranced, and it was his actions that
gave me a cluo to the idontlty of my
visitors.
They were wild horses! '
Had they been Indian ponlee my trained
horse would have remained as dumb and
Silent as a post. Indeed. Indians would
not have approached me In that manner.
I remained very quiet, hoping the
horses would remain in sight until day
light should give me a good view v.f
them. I had to wait for a fuil hour, but
when the light grew strong the spectacle
was one to make a man's blood t;::de.
The cin.de had been enlarge. 1 until It
was half a mile across, and my little
camp was tlie center. Every horse,
and there were 120 of them, stood with
Ids head to this center, and soldiers
could not have taken positions on the
skirmish line in more precise order.
I pitied my own animal. He stood
with the lariat drawn taut and trembled
in every limb, and he was as wet with
sweat as If I had galloped him twenty
mlhjs. I realized how he must lone
to break away and join the wild rovers
and lorever end his drudgery.
I dare 1 not rise to my feet for fear
of alarming the drove, but, neverthe
less. I hud a clear view of each horse.
Most of them were magnificent animals.
Manes down on their shoulders and
tails on the grass. They were of various
colors, and they ranged in age from the
yearling colt up to the veterans probably
20 years old. The bays predominated,
but every color was present.
We had been observing each other
about ten minutes, when a jet-black
stallion, who was the leader of the herd,
pave a snort, threw up h'.fl -heels into
the air and broke off at a gallop, fol
lowed by the drove in single liio. They
ran in a true circle, and they made the
circuit five times before stopping. Then,
at another signal from the leader, the
circle broke und the horses wheeled
Into a long, single line, or " company
front."
Troop horses could not have done
better. I thought at first the lino meant
to charge me, hut at a signal it made
a left wdieel and galloped straight off
on the plain for a mile. Then it
bmke, assumed the ehape of a triangle
and returm" I.
When the b-ader was within pistol-shot
he wheeled out, and the ior formed
in a square, with the four yenrlins in
the center. They gallop.-.! ft for a mile
or so, broke again and returned in two
ranks.
I had an almost Irresistible desire to
kill the leader with a bulh-t. Indeed, I
