DECIDED ECOXOffY.
Mr. and Mr.. Blo.aorr. Trre new atara
ai a fiue brilliancy, but of amall magni
tude, ia tbe society of Warreti.bur g.
Alexander Uloftnoru and Minnie Bloa
.oiu h.-l Ireen married for one abort year,
which t ime aecuied to thorn jttt one loaz
auniruer's day.
TUere are aereral married people ttnltke
Alexander and Minnie, for theaa were
ncrer bappr except when they were to
gether, and when they were together
uever tinUappy for a moment. When Al
exander came lit front bu.ine'a kaadwaya
in.it It utel a nearch for the lirown-halred,
browu-eyed nirl who waa wnitlnj; for
hiui, Aiul tviiru he ben to Uenpair ahe
Ttrou Id atari out of a certain pataajteway
vr,U .1 Ky liniKh and aek him where hla
(syet wore.
Of cotire nnder therte circnmtanee..
It. w.i. ucceaaary for her to take a Rood,
square look, iu his eye. to determine if
luey were) the ..ime ah ever, ud then oc
curred tom cf thorte manlfctationa
which foolUli pi-opla call foolihucs, and
which only atopped when the Rcuial
hoiitenmid ran1, to announce tht dinner
wa. wrel. Of conrae, the houaemaid
did not aay: "Dinner is aerred;" her
proclitmation verbatim w.v.: " Come
now," but the niennin)C waa the aaiue.
I h.tve omitted to say that Minnie waa
not very tall; that ahe waa remarkably
healthy and delicioualy plump. Her Upa
vrerw aa near bursting from fullneas as
cherrien after a rain; her forehead waa
low, nud her eyebrow., hearier than the
ordinary, made her juat ao much more
ruitKiit-tic.
There was nothing wonderful about
Alexander. You will comprehend Alex
uter at tuc whea I say that he received
?HJ a month which he did not earn.
Iljworer, ha firmly belieyed that In some
luynteriona way hi. la)or brought large
returns to lii employers,
Willi (icon month the RToi.omt had to
livo. Fortunately, they had no rent to
p.-.y; the market luroka nnder Minnie's
raro Crfurel up reaonably, and the do-tue-tio
waa kind enough to demand but
AiS month.
One day Alexander came home from
'.11 ullaged huftines. lookiug nice and
.Tet, and alao lookinf; for Minuie. The
latier rushed out from the nnexpected
pl.vo la which she always hid. caught
him around the neck, asked him where
hi. eye. were, pnt a rapturous kl.s Ju.t
below his camel's hair mustache, and
cried: 9
-What do yon think?-'
The aa.rcions husband implanted a
rapturous ki ju.t below Where Minnie
would hayj hatl a splendid brown rnns
t.i -ha hn4 ahe leen tn that lice, and he re
plied that he did not know, riealaode
rmniie.i tl vice as to what it waa appro
priate to think.
Minnie then explained that a letter
had come addreerl to him that looked
l:a,e wedding card.; that ahe bad bad
opened It, and it wasn't wedJlng cards at
Soma men, hearing of a my.terlona lef
t. ri p'tted by ;i lovit.n wife, would hare
v vp. ri-nccd a fitlinn of vaue nnrcit.
Not - Alextider. lis silently weiKhed
to ' merits of viitiie Laty fal-ehoods and
i i-,t-.ird brayely wl.t tiie letter waa.
".u iuritatiou to join the Warrena
l ;r Social Club." said Minnie, "and I
!.at U-en tuiuking of It all tUe after
r.oou." So ah? had. In her womanly way, abe
':vl l-ea thinking what dre.ses she
fouldwear. "len't It njca?' ahe cried.
"N jvt, ay we can go."
"Of riu.-.e we can ato.
Tiio uu.:uarUedaea of thle answer waa
ev5.MitU!!j maculina. Women, on the
c uitrary, alway. begin by refusing, and
arterward allow them.clves to be argued
i:.t anrthirg whaterer.

Mr. lilomu.
Tt.eia were. Indeed, atrange words.
Thy conveyed the revolting idea, that
rku faa'tionable A'.exandrr had nothing
i 1 dre. more formal than cutaways or
IVinco Alberta.
How, then, had be been married The
explanation throws lljht on a very dark
prix-itge in Mr. Dlonaom's life his dreas
suit liail been pawned; and worse, the
tiiin of rer'.euiptlon had expired.
"I can't t;o," he said, rescuing hlaaelf
to Kfo with a large F.
"Thaf . it," cried Minnie, dnl!ghte-l.
"I've been figuring it all Bp and you can
So."
llfre she ran into the next room, and
In one second returned with a sheet of le
K l cay bearing very illegal-looking fig
ure ,
"Now, lork at this!"
Alexander looked; and I hare to record
thru he wa. not shocked. Tbe figures
an. I their method were abnnt as nearly
t Uo f au ordained bookkeeper as
Mr. Illorreoru. own.
We've jjot to be economical for two
ni"utli, you ee," said Minuie. "There
it is, all on p.tper." .
Th indi.-ptit.iUle document ran thus:
' (Jriji rr, C-V; Jane, $15: bntcher, $1';
roi. ev rythitiif else tTO; altogether
iTS out of $100 leaves til say fJO;
trco month. ItO."
"Onofthce suits doesn't cost more
than that, does It?" ahe asked couS-d.-ntly.
'"Costs $73," replied the gloomy Ale x
aii'lir. -Humph!'' cried Minnie. "Can't yon
in-msgr? I f it were a 975 d ress, $40 would
bo pleuty."
Alexander e hook his head.
"Hut the clul meets early in the eren
in,' pcrited Minnie. "Couldn't yon
set one that would do ready ruado.or
sarmrthinK?"
Alexamler waa pained. ' He said be
trusted she did not rpenk in earnest.
"Dear!" cried Minnie in despair, "what
ein we do? We cua't take boarders, and
yoti can't ha a book aeut. I wish aoiae
lo.ly would leave us some money."
. ' .So do I," murmured Alec with feel
In VI.
. "I know what," cried Minnie, with
sadden briKbtueea.
"Dou't you nsk yonr father for mon
ey," sail Mr. Llo.som, sternly.
"I dou't intend to."
Alexati'ler aeemetl to think ahe might
have been a little more willful on this
point. Cut he tried to look much re
lieved, and issued another command that
she was not to go iu debt. Her asont to
thi.was immediate Alexander had bo
tanretoray. -
The iiext day Minnie, In pursuance of
Ler idi-.v, went by Mea!th to tLeelothinj;
emporium of Warroti.-hurtraud demanded
fiepri'eof drtss suita. The answer was
jrn. . -
Slier tlin asked the price of the cloth.
Thi wa. a treat surpri.se to the tailor,
lie niTe tetl to anlve an intrirate problem,
r.nd finally coming out wil ii a mathrmat
ic.l flonrinh of his pencil, said:
"Twenty dollr.'
"llote much forcuttinttout?" ""
'Weil," said the tailor, "hem Met me
fee. You wouldn't want It made up
here. yu thiiA Well, coat, -eat and -;'.)
nit th't'O.
"I i-lii nM I ke to t-et the cloth and the
euttinit lH.th for t ', if you could," said
iltn:ie, faintly.
"Weil." answered the tailor, patroniz
ingly, "that's it: we couldn't. You can't
get Knliah gocxls, you know, at Amer
ican price- We have cheaper goods,
but "
"I should want this," aald Mlnni.
"Well, aa the best figure on that I'll
say (33. We don't make anything on it,
anyway."
Mra. nioasom was rot deeelTed. but
she pretended to Ire, and with another ex
ertion of courage anked for a mouth's
credit. Then ahe directed the cutting to
be done by Alexander's measure, already
with the tailor, and the next day carried
her bundle In triumph to her dressmaker.
That was her idea.
Her dreaamaker, of course, was one of
that Infinite number of sewing women,
found only by sheer god luck, who are
called "jewel." by feminine gossip., and
who charge two prices. They are said to
be "re.asouuble" as distinguished from,
the real modiste.
According to immemorial mace among
dressmakers, this particular "jew-1" of
Minnie's did not set a price, but ahe said
it was a "aplendid plan" that she would
try, and that she would make everything
"satisfactory. - - , .
What can be more satisfactory than
satiMnctory? Minnie departed iu great
spirits. ... . -- -
Time rattled on and brought the night
of the club's first meeting.
The, Blossoms'acceptance had Ireen duly
sent, and Alexander had been compla
cently informed that a dreas suit would
be provided. - . -. .
He trusted to his wife Implicitly, be
lieving not that Iu two months hhe would
create a wonderful novel, as ladies ao
easily do in other novel. but that ahe
would pursue the mora useful and per
haps more womanly plan of calling en
her father. Men are so tartly in conced
ing to their wives other than domestic
virtues. Hut one man waa a Iron t to have
his masculine prejudices swept away.
The Important night havitig rolled into
Warreu.burg, Minuie bade -J.tr depend
ent husband to "coma up and get ready."
He went. The bundle was brought out
for him to open.
It was a regular tailor's box (.nch was
Minnie'a craftiness) and lo! on the col
lar of the coat was the glorifying name of
a New Y'ork tailor. Minnie, of courae,
had obtained the name of her father and
sewed It on with her own fair hands.
Alec, with a f nil heart, donned the suit
and stood before the mirror. He cast
two careful, comprehensive glances at
the trim reflection, clasped Minnie to the
new coat aud exclaimed in many rap
tures: .
"You darllns! It's It's the regular
"Are you satisfied?" asked the wife?
wlshleg him to commit himself beyond
retracting before ahe divulged the low
origin of tbe suit. --- -
"Of course," cried Alec, warmly, wish
ing he were a woman ao that be could
gush a little. "SatiaSedf Why, It's one
ef Ackarman's best that's what it is.
See the way it fits. I could tell that waa
Ackrrman a mile off." . -
When he had raved for ten minntea
Minnie confessed the history of the suit,
"do you ate, after all," she said at last,
"we women do know something.'
Mr. Blonsom looked at the coat more
critically, trying to detect a Llcmibh, but
he couldn't.
"Are you still satisfied?" asked Minnie.
He had to admit that he waa.
"Now, how much do you snppcso It
cost?"
Mr. Blossom couldn't telL "Now a
tailor" he began.
"Tailor!" cried Minnie." "You mean
robber. I counted ou Just $40, and out of
that I have this suit, which, you say you
like, aud this dress of mine. You would
have paid f Tj for tbe suit alone. To-morrow
I shall go and pay up, and I warn
you that every cent 1 have left out of the
$401 ahall spend on candy, every single
cent." For Minnie had the woman's love
of extravagance alter all.
So this was Mra. Blossom's triumph.
Not a gentleman at tbe club was better

They were both in raptures. Alexander
especially, when be had convinced him
self that this auit did not proclaim to thei
world the disgraceful truth that it had
been constructed by a drenamakcr.
The next evening when Mr. Blossom
came home and instituted tho search for
Minnie, she did not leap out at him from

"What is the matter?" aeked Alex
ander. She did cot reply at first, but still kept
her head from him, but when abe had
been wrought up to the .roper state of
sympathy and alarm she cried a little
more bitterly than before, and uncon
sciously relaxed her gTaap upou a piece of
crumpled paper.
Alexander divined that this dingy
scrap was the source of tbe trouble, and
picked it up. It contained atrocious
writing executed in red ink, and looked
like the work of a dynamiter. But it waa
not ao brief. It began:
"Mrs. Blossom to Mrs. Harden, man
Dress Saite," and after eighteen or
twenty lines of trimmings, linings, but
toua, extra cloth, making, etc., culminated
in "totle W
Under this "totle" Minnie had written
In trembling figures what she owed the
tailor, t'Zi, and then ahe had made a
"totle" of her own. The dresa suit had
coat her 172.
"You hate me," she sobbed, "you'll
think you've married a simpleton."
Alexander was not distinguished for a
keen insight into human nature, but with
so beautiful and appealing a creature a.
Minnie iu tears, who would not know the
proper chord?
"Simpleton!" he cried, and diatmstlng
the power of words alone, he seized ber
by tho waist, "aao jimp," and gleefully
wnisked her about the room.
"So you want a compliment on yonr
financiering? Y'ou shall have it. "You
hare got a thiug worth $73 for $73; made
$t by simply turning over your somewhat
dimpled hand. Simpleton, forsooth; you

theatre, capital! avud I will wive you the

thiuk of that?"
Minnie, flying from tears to mile, fool
ishly thought Alexander more adorable
than ever, nt.d that evening, at the play,
although it was a very fatal tragedy, they
success fully maintained the highest
spirits.
Better than all, when tbe story was re
lated to Minnie's father, be knowing
how to strike tbe right chord immedi
ately presented her with a large check as
a guarantee that her first charming
futile efforts at economy were properly
appreciated .

A LATHE ROYAL
While the number of pcr.ons In India
who lose their lives by serpects and wild
animals, as returned each year by official
record, is so great as to amaze us, I am
satisfied thnt not more thau two-thirds of
the actual iiudiUt ere returned. I pased
five years ia that country, most of the
time iu the interior among the natives,
and I kuovr how Impossible it is fcr
officials to collect anything like trust
worthy statist icH UT.t'.er this head.
The Lead men of viilages are aoippote l
to report to certain c fl.cia.ls, but they da
so only under pressure. Where a rcfrort
would give a district a bad name, it is
altered aud amended, aud 110 doubt the
Government connives at this. The
amount of money paid out as bounty each
year to the a'ayers cf serpents and wild
animals is enormous, and it is increasing
yearly, proving that all attempts to even
lessen the general evil Lave resulted iu
failure. - j--
The tiger, liyer.a, tls-er wolf, wolf,
and other dangerous beasts have Ixsen
driven back as towns and cities have been
built up, but they have not beea ex
terminated nor hare t heir numbers been
greatly lessened. Iu lss.i H tiger killed a
man within three miles of the railroad
depot at Hyderabad. Iu that same year
a tiger carried off and devoured an Eng
lish girl from the suburbs of Hengalore.
Deadly serpents are a terror to-day in t he
outskirts of Madras, Bombay, Calcutta,
and other seaports. -
Voder the tropical heat of India animal
and insect life la called luto being so
rapidly, and nature furnishes such bcun
tiful nourishment that it will ever be a
country cf danger. I have had a tiger
t niffat me as I lay wrapped in my blai.krts
in a jungle camp a hundred miles from
town, and I have entered a bedroom in a
house in Calcutta to Cod that a cobra
held possession. "
From the Bengal line on the north, to
the city of Hyderabad ou tho hoii'h.nnd
from Sonpur iu the east to the ncacoast
on the west, lies a great territory with
out a railroad crossing it. Several large
rivers cut through it, aud there are
xarioua military roads, but Nagpoor Is
the only towu of any importance. This
area of country is hill, valley, plain and
jungle, and a great army might march
through it and across it aud back again,
and not frighten its perils away. -
It was from Nagpoor that I went out
en a commission for an animal hcu.o at
Amsterdam one cf the uot singular
orders we ever got. It was for a den of
poisonons snakes for an American circus,
and it wa. expressly stipulated that no
eerpent whose bito was not known, to be
fatal should be accepted.
Having constructed ttse prrper eages
and collected a party of natives with ex
perience, we started off and made a two
days' journey to the south. This brought
us luto tbe bills and jungles, with animal
life a. plentiful and as savage as before
tho English set foot in India, - -
We made our headquarters at a village
called Bxrrghat, and were assured that
we would have no troublo ia loading a
ehip with poisonous reptiles, to say noth
ing of wild ar.imals. The Ler.d man In
formed m-; th:.t thirty-three of the villa
gers bad lost their lives within twelve
mouths by suak.e bites, and that no
ncord had been seut to Nagpecr, as re
quired by law. -
"It would give r. a bad ram7and do
nobody any good," he explained. .
"But they want to publish tho figures
In England and t lsew here," I protested.
"What uoawn.e:" be exclaimed, " Who
will care to read auch a record?"
There were, he assured me, ra the
Jungle, about the village at least a dozen
species of poisonous serpents, aud that
tbe loss of life ia the village from this
cause avKravtd five persons a month. In
one year his people had killed and re
ceived bounty ou eight thousand kerpeuts,
but the number had ia nowise dimin
ished. He gavo n. many bints of caution, but
wo had been lu the couutry long enough
to kt.ow that the only precaution a ruaa
eonld take was eternal vigilmice.
Ou the first night r.f our arrlvr.l a large
snake wa. kiilod by crawling within
twenty feet of a group at a ramp fire.
There were but two of MA white hunters,
and they gave each of us a hut to him
self. B-fore we turned la for the night the
placa was thoroughly searched, the bed
ding beaten with sticks, and small lire
were built outside.
Soon after breakfast next morning a
boy came running in with tLu news that
s large snake had beeu see a to enter a de
serted hut about forty rods away. We at
once act iff with our outfit, which consis
ted mostly rf nets. and wbi 11 It w&s found
that tho hut had only a single opening
the dosrway we toon Lii a uct drawn
across it.
Then some of tbe men and boy. began
pounding on the hut with clubs a;u! milk
ia a great row, aud directly t he Rn -Ke
mi'rnb. do vt i. catisht t a fish
traps himself iu a pound mt, ltt he did
not submit until after a tremendous
struggle. The natives cilletl him aa
tiidur, hut. in appearance be greatly re
aembied the American blackaunke. He
was nine feet long, riniteti with orstign,
and was pofsessed of great strength and
a terrible temper. -
After he had tired himself out we landed
him in the cae, and to prove to us that
he wa. poisonous a piece of fresh meat
was held out to him ou the end of a slick.
In llfteeu minutes after be had struck it
the mr.-.t turned green, and in half an
hour it Miiolleil so horribly that we had to
throw it away. -
We did not get through wlh thl. first
capture until about noon, and directly
after dinner a woman came in to tell us
tha, a sai.'ipur was basking lu the sun ou
a fiat rock. This fierpeut was n. mncli
dreaded as tho African tnalahar, bein
ready to attack human brirgs ou night,
and having a strength and temper which
render him a dangerous antagonist. We
must find Lint asleep and steal upon him
unawares or some of us would forfeit our
lives.
A scout rr.ns ent out, whoeame back to
report that bis anakeship was lying in his
coil iu a convenient spot 'or our opera
tions, and we moved upon him. As an
oiret for Lin dangerous characteristic,
nature makes tbe sampur hftrd of hearing
and a heavy sleeper.
I'sing the utmost cantion, onr bead
native approached with a cast r.et, and by
a s-uccossful throw made the dangerous
fellow a prisoner. It took us three hours
of hard work to Ret him into the cage,
and he did not quiet down until he had
thrashed himself sore.
It was not much of a feat to seftf the
serpents we wanted, rind iu the course of
a fortnight we were ready to pull up
stakes. Then occurred an incident which
almost made aa old man of me in aa
hour.
The hut I cecTtpied Lad rrcen used as a
starehouse. On each side of the fein-le
doorway wa a stout fence made of pous
running out n'tont twent y-Uve feet, thv..
making a la no or past agc about three
foet wide. Whea ti.e Louse waa filed
with urn in a entioel watched ut the
ii.ontii if tiii.s lane. Only one ersnn
cc.itld co or come at a time, u.nd each WUS
under supervision.
They bad slung a hammork for me eo
that a faced the door ami looked down
this lane when ljiug on my riht side.
E;ich night n f. re was built just at the"
month of the lane, find th-.-re were to
many other fires ttcattered alrouttiiat we
felt safe froni tigers or serpents.
Ou thia flight 1 turned in at about 10
o'clock. Half an hour later it betrau to
raiu heavily, and in h few minutes all the
fires were out. The rain cont inued until
after niiduight, and then it cleared up
and the moon rote. I bad i.lept for an.
hour, aud awoke just as the light of the
moon came over the junjle.
It shone full upou the lane, and the
first thing my eyes rested ou was a lare
cobra making its way toward me. We
bad aeen none of them in our two weeks'
stay, but I knew the species directly I
caught its motion. My two guus were iu
the hut.
To spring out of the hammock and
seize one of them and fire at the serpent
was the work cf ten tucon-bs. That was
my programme, but as I uiude the first
movement I found myself fast. I h&d not
removed my trousers, and the buckle had
worked itself down among the fibres and
become fasr. -
I had only time for the one effort. To
get clear I must dump myself out on my
knees, and the fcerpent was too near for
Ihst. TLa cobra miht flee in af
fright, but he w as more likely to spring
upon me. And supjrose there wag a pair
of them, and that the other had already
entered the butl
Iu ten seconds after this thought came
to ma I was in a cold awcat, and so
weak thitt I could not have stood on my
feet. The slight movement 1 had made
alarmed the cobra, and be coiled himself
ami waited fully two minutes befote com
ing on again. I ought to movo and also
use my voice, but for the life of me I
could neither raise a finger nor utter a
aouud. -
The serpent might have been ten min
utes crawling the fifteen feet which
brought him into the hut. As soon as he
was over the threshold he was iu tbe
darkness, and I could no longer see him.
I heard bim crawling about over the
dried gram cn the f.oor, however, aud
knew that it was only a quer-.tion of min
utes when Le would seek a closer acquain
tance with me. He might not strike me
at ouce. The cobra never attack, uultss
cornered. It never strikes a aloeper.
My hammock wa. slung about three
feet from the ground. After a few min
utea I heard the snake crawling toward
me, aud I prepared for the worst. When
I turned iu it w as very close entl oppres
sive. I had, therefore, throwu the blan
ket, out of the hammock.. The cold rain
Lad chilled the snake, and he was looking
for warmth.
The blankets were cn the ground and
this fct prevented him from corning Into
the hammock. I could net see him, butl
cculd hear r.nd scent him as Le twisted
about aud finally curled down. When he
bad become quiet I felt that I had a
chance for my life. I would wait until
Le was asleep, and then make a sudden
sprirj and a rt'h. If I waited until day
light crouaed the natives, tho ct bra would
certainly bite n.e. ...
I was cooler now, and I waited from
twenty to twenty-Svo minutea befcro
mcvi;j. I was just planning to dump
mys'.lf out cf the hammock, whea tho
moonHLk revealed tt new and unex ectcd
dauber.
1 Staci'.isg at the month cf the lane,
and looking straight in upon me, waa a
tiger. That he had entered the village in
search of prey I knew by his demeanor.
That he was an old tiger and a man-eater
one could soe by his lordly air. Instead
of coming tu from the jungle. La had come
across tbe open and cultivated laud, and
my hot was tirst In hi. path.
I did not believe be would enter the
but. Thu lane would look like a trap to
him, and he would perhaps fight shy.
After looking at me for perhaps tTomiu
utea, the tiger moved out of sight, anil
presently I heard bim tealiugaroundihe
but looking fr an opening. There was
no ther, and he returned and surveyed
trie again.
Wiiile my eyes were wide open, I did
rot move n huger, and the animal no
doubt believed ma asleep. He probably
mw the blankets ou the ground, but I
don't think he suspected the presence of
the serpent.
When the tiger finally entered theopen
Ini: a:ut btun to approach me I .ave my
self up fttr lost. With this feeling camo
teat of cooluess, and I was never more
clciiruiiiuieu iu my life.
i'or a mou.trit I forgot thn snake, but
presertlv, ns tho ticer was vsiihin ten
feet of th dirorwny, I heard the serpent
r.tter a low hi.. and move atrout. The
tiger had eyes anil cars only for me. He
skulked over the ground exactly as you
have aeen a cat, making no more noise
than a mouse. " -
When he reached the doorway and
stood with hi., f orepaws on the threehold
my besrt etopped beating. His next move
would be a pring, and he would Cad me
helpless. - - --
There was an Interval of thirty seconds.
My sight went away from me. I was
half dead with terror. I faintly remem
ber bearing a bias and a snarl, and all at
once I rose. - - - -- -
It was to see the cobra and the tiger
rolling over nnd over in the lane, and
raising such a row that the whole village
w.-.s aroused in a moment. I saw all the
fight, bub rcmemlrer very little. Serpent
aud tiger rolled away down the lane and
then back agirin, the one hifoing like a
steam ergine anil the other roaring and
growling. In ten minutes it was over,
ami both rcr? dead, and then I fainted
away, r.nd wa. unconscious.
Tho ccbra had bitten the tiget in mora
thsn fifty places, and the tiger hail UocJ
hli teeth aud claws to tear his enemy.

"It's jrach nonsensel" paid Mrs.'CsVton

AKla, tall and dark, with soft hazel eyes,
and dark brown braids, had a gravi! y of
manner far more natural in seeming thau
that of her mother.
"One can't help one's heart, mamma!"
pouted Adei.i, evidently taking umbrage
nt ber mother's Kcture.
"Oh, fi.lJle:-t;ck:"' Fr.id Mis. Hay.
"Don't Uilk about hearts, Addy; it's a
mere physiological term." -sac,.
"But. mamma, I love hinV" "
"Thero if is aaiu!" sighed the dimpled
Widow. "Ixrve! Why, Addy, l"ui aston

j "Well, mamma, what am I to do?"
"Do? Why, look out for an eligible
jxtrtl of course, with lots of cash and a
house ia Mn lison avenue, nnd a yacht,
and all that sort of thin,;, if you must
fall in love."
"It's- very plain to see that you never
were in love, mamma."
"No; nor anyone else, Addy. Depend
upon it, it's all pretty phrases out of
ftorylrocks. Ixve means a nice establish
ment, with plenty of money, a cotttio nt
Newport during th? tsasoa, and a btylich
wedding."
Adela shook her bead. -
"It's all very well to talk, mamma,"
she said with a lit! le sipii likethe titirring
ofazt'phyr; "Hit for h11 that, I love Guy
Hawkeawort h."
"Guy Haivkcsw.-irth, Indeed!" echoed
tho little widow fcornfnlly. "Why, he
hasn't a per.ny in the world!''
. "But be Is b--r Intellectual, mamma!" "
"Intellect won't keep the pot boiling,
child, and GreeU roots aren't Lalf ao food

"Mamma!"
"Addy, it's nil nonsense! I won't hear

"But he ia coming here to-lilsht, with
Li3 uncle, man: ma, to call."
"Very weil; then we'll take particular
pain, to be not nt home."
Addy pouted, nnd even cried a little,
brt her mother was relentless.
"It ia just the el l days of your child

Consequently, Adda Kny was n.t a lit
tle surprised, a few days subsequently,
as sLo ecttrtd the pailor, to see ber
mother chatting on the sofa with "the

"Thtt fctapid Thompson ehowed them

"How liaBil.'cni" Guy's uncle la!" cried
Addy enthusiast ically.
"Handsome!" echoed Mrs. Carlton Kay
carelessly. "Do you call him handsome?
He i. altogether too dirk for my fancy."
"1 wonder If he is rich?" mv.J Adela
reflectively.
"Mich? No. Cry was telling mo bis

"Then be won't do for me to bombard
with r.iy fascinations' laughed Addy.
"No, certainly not," said Mrs. Carltou
Hay decisively.
"Well, mamma, you needn't speak po
sharply," said Addy in a plaintive voice.
"Of course, I was only iu jest about it.
Why, he is old enough to be my grand
father." "Nonsense, Addy, he's only forty-three
years old." -
"Isn't that rat !-er . indent ?"'
( "Indeed, no it's just, the prime of life."
' Adiy looked at ber mother iu some sur
prio. "Well, ra.tmna," ehe lunched, "have it
your own way."
"Thero is no way abont it." paid Mra.
Carlton Kay. "Do run upstairs and pet
n:y parasol, Addy it's Just the plcasuut
est. time of day f ir a walk."
And the pretty little widow was itti
wov.tedly silent and thoughtful for tho
ret t f ti.e bright n-i butrncr dnv.
"Mamma." siid Ad-la fully one
morning, "I've got gotl news for you."
"What is it?" asked Mrs. Carbon Hay,
glnnciiir; up e-ti.-crly from I.crboot.
"Major Truefitt is to be here to-morrow
the rich widower that. Lalf the girls in

"What or it? '
"What of it, niamrna? Lm't he as rich
rts Crifsus?"
"Itich!" echoed Mrs. Carlton Hay, with
a slight accent t p.nnoyancc in her voice.
"It seems to me tht this world of ours is
gett ins more and more mercenary every
day."
Adela stared; she was qnlt unused to
the enunciation of tliw ."train of senti
ment from her mother's little cherry-red
mouth.
. "Minima, what I the matter?"
"Dou't be a .'001,0, Addy; what should
be the matter?"
And Mrs. Carlton Hay reaped out of
the door before Adda could ak any more

"At nil events," thought Addv, "I'll
