It was in Paris, during tbe suramprof l!SS9, that 1 lic.ird tho little anocdoto w bleli I am about to rolato. Of course 1 hai lw-cn attracted there, like every American who could tear himself nwaj from business, by the ex position in tho French capital. What moment would be more propitious for tholonj expected trip abroad than tho time when l'aris. the reat cosmopolitan city, was celebrating the anniversary of the Vl.HHly event that shook e cry throne in F.uroe? Marvelous, indeed, was the scene that surroii'ided tno that evening. I had wanicrd at random from tho Trot-a-di ro, with its Hashing colonades and towers, to the central dome, with its wreaths of liirht and transparent roof; fnr:i t' e gigantic tov r which a multi t .!. nf ligtits had turned into a nuinu i.m nt '! r.-d-hot Iron towering a thou sand f.-c- overhead, to the more dark a:i-l j. i.-lures.jue colonial exhibit, where, l"--t sii.on.' the tree, one could find African villages, Indian temples, and Jm.uii.--i theaters. In which tbe actors 3trutr"l around shrieking under their mask like so many wildcats. At last the closing time had come: it was l. ten o'clock. A long, dense line of policemen, starting at one end of tho grounds, pushed their way in tho di rection of the opposite exit, sweeping in front of tnem tho few remaining visitors. Not feeling sleepy, yet not caring t follow tho crowd, I sauntered leisurely along by the river. Presently a soldier overtook uiv. and tipping his small, rod cap asked for a light. I held out my cigar, a:id undertook to air what litile French I knew. In tho conversation that followed I heard from the young ollicer's lips the story of tho woman in black. It was about a month ao, but I re uicmbcr it us if it were yesterday, that the serire;ir.t called out to mo to re liovc llio sentry outside. lining a new recruit, r.nd tired with the day's work, 1 did not hear, and it was not until he j hud cursed !id sworn by every saint . iu the calendar that 1 recovered my senses sufficiently to pick up my gun j and button my coat to face the stormy nigi.t. It was nearly twelve o'clock, the sky was black as ink, and tho rain I poured down steadily in a very un- j promising manner. A high wind, which j was blowing it in clouds through the I streets, mado the position still more un comfortable. After getting my instructions from the man whoso place I was to tako. I made for the sontry-lox. f'-llv d( ci b d not to venture forth from it- shelter. Once there I began to exati.ino the po sition, and g'.auced through the small window up and b.ivn the atreet Th. ro wa not a s.e.l to ls toe lamp over I.e. id . i.ng to an 1 fro in the wind, cr.a'air.g dismally, and tryin it lest to ;re..l K lij-ht along the t ai. 1 .''irr'.-l t'.oroughf re.

At All events, when I hapronod to look up I saw Komo ono down tho" street alout two blocks away. Xatur-' ally I watched to sec which way tho person was walking, for in such solitude the slightest object becomes interest ing. . 1 wiu toon alae to aee that it wa 3 woman, and that sho wa cotr.ing toward me. I noticed that thero was something strango about her, and re member wishing most fervently that sho had boon going the other way. Per haps my pipe gavo mo a guilty con science; perhaps it wa sumo other Teeling; at all events, I watched hers -bo came toward me. bhe wa dresood entire ly in black; a long black wrap, with a hood over her head, alTordeJ hor a little protection against the rain. She seemed to glido along noiselessly, Stopping every now and then to look around her. I am not a coward, bui the intense solit-i-le, com bined with the howling of the wind, the croaking of tho lamp and tho tnys tcriou movements of the Uark creature, ruad.; me feel very uncomfortable. Still I de-hied to faeo the danger, if danger there was, and moved to tho door of the box to wait until tho danger had passed. Mow ly sho moved forward until she wa within three or four steps of mo. then stopjM-d ;igain; her face was in tho faLado-.v an I 1 could not uistinguich her rKHMIN WHOM TBI TKUTB EBENSBURG, PA., FRIDAY. OCTOBER 10, fax lures. While I wa trying to dis vru them she moved suddenly forward ant gave mo a searching look; in An other second, before I bad recovered froru my surprise, sho had passed on and moved rapidly along the street without srorping any more. The watch passed without further In cidents, but I romcmbor that I had no trouble in keeping awake and was very thankful to be relieved. 1 told yon that I wa a new recruit at the timo, and dreaded to make myself ridiculous in the eye of tho company; besides that, I had a lurking idea that the whole scene might have boon plotted for my benefit. I resolved, therefore, to say nothing about it and see whether any of my comrades had an encounter with tho mysterious woman. I devoutly hoped that they would, and was not disappointed. Night after night tho midnight sentry saw tho figure, always coming from tbe same spot, always silent, al ways passing on after tho same incom prehensible movement. Not ono of us had had the presenco of mind to stop tho woman and question hor. Wo had in our company a man such as one finds everywhere, full of life, al ways laughing, joking, sure to be at the bottom of all mischief, always punished when there were any punishments to be administered, skeptical, as all such men are, believing in nothing save his own wit and bravery. The stories that were told about the midnight visitor had al ways drawn a sarcastic sruilo to his lips, and he was eternally laughing at the victims of the woman in black. Catch him shaking in his boots with fear of some facetious grisette.who was having great sport frightening the soldiers out of their wits! Finally we grew exasperated, and one of us broke out: "Talk is cheap, Ri-.hard; you have not been thero yet; you may nat stand it any letter than the others." "lift I would!'' "1 tot you five franca you would not." Taken!" "When will you try?" "To-night. Who is on duty?" "Leroy." Leroy was found, and was moro than w illing to exchange guard with Richard, lkilh repaired to the sergeant, who, aftor listening to tbir story, fcld thum to do a thoy pleased about it. So tho matter wa settled, and just before twolvo Richard drew himself to gether, shouldered hi gun, and marched out to his post. What occurred we learned later, and hi tone was very dif furent from hi usual one. I will tell you the suiry just as ho told us: "1 started on my bcat,"hesaid, "think ing of w hat wa going to happen. I ad mit now thai I did not feel as easy about the matter as I had felt beforo. The loneliness of the spot was telling on ray mind, and made me rather anx lou. Still 1 resolved to stop tho wom an, if bho appeared, and question her; I could not do otherwise. Ilut tho cor ner sho always cam from looked very dark and ominous, and altogether, my feelings were far from pleasant. Twelve o'clock struck in tho steeplo of a neighboring church, and I watched attentively for tho apparition. After watching ten or fifteen minutes I saw something move in tho dark, and a dread presentiment seemed to clutch my heart. Tho woman appeared, gliding along as you all saw hor; but I know that my boasting had been vain, that tho sight affected mo more, perhaps, than aay of you. I was absolutely panic-stricken, fascinated by the ap proaching figure, a somo poor bird by tho snakft that bewilders it with its glance before devouring it. I felt that I ought to run, but I could not mova. Onshn cimc, nearer and nearer, stop ping at intervals, till hho looked m in tho face; then, uttering a wild cry, she sprung forward, and I fell, with a dag ger planted up to tho hilt in my bide." Such was tho story Richarl told u a few week later a ho was recovering from In wound. As to the woman, aha was discovered by tho police and J ro ll 1 unc.-d mad. I have heard rumor to the elT'- t that hho had bs--n abandoned; that her crime wa lu.t a desperato v i-.g--ancc. Whether the story was true . r nut Richard would never nay. Waifily.

After a fc)ap on the back ho tt.-it up, and they Jnentorisl an individual dressed in a worn and ill-fitting unit of lx.mhazino, w iihoi.l vest or cravat, and a palm-leaf hat 011 tho back of hi head.

Nelson replied that ho was inclined to tho opinion that tho world would "follow the darned thing ofT." The threo did not meet again for years not until Lincoln arrived in Indianapolis on his way U Washington to bo inaugurated President. As they approached the door of th.j office in the hot-el a long arm reached out and a shrill voice er-claiim-d: "Hollo, Nelson!

What "Ugh!" said Will, w ith a most exag gerated shudder of disgust, "if thero 1 any thing I do abominate above all other horrors, it is a strong-minded woman." "Ob," said Millicent, grandly, T should imagine you wauld fool more comfortable in the society of a weak minded ono. "Now, I hope you aro wilted," crod Teddy, with a grin of delight over Milli cent's sarcasm. "For my part, I adore strong-minded women. Sly aversion is for ono of your bread-and-butter misses, who blush if you look at them, and can't say any thing but 'No sir," or 'Ye, sir. I mean to marry a female lawyer or a doctor." Now, Teddy had commenced this speech with a smile no manifest that it has already been doscriljod a a grin, but, as he proceeded, hi faco became clouded, and hisemphasi was downright vicious. Nobody In tbe room took much notice of the change, though Millicent smiled a little. As if Teddy Crawford'a com pliments could move her! But there wa another room adjoin ing the one in which these young people were chatting, and in that room a golden head drooped low, and blue eyes grew misty as Teddy spoke. Then Daisy Whyteliftod hor head with a defiant toss, and said: 1 don't careT under her troath. But aa she said it, she softly opened the low French winiow and 6 topped outside. Mrs. Furber, Millicent's aunt, bad j been giving a gardon-party, and some of tne most intimate irienas, alter most or the guests had departed, had sauntered into the wide drawing-room for a chat. "Teddy knew all Millicwnt's aspira tions to rise ahovo the routine of so callod woman's work. Teddy hud grt.vo ly considered tho conflicting attractions of art-stndies, a medisal courso or law reading. Teddy wiped away the tears when Aunt ICertha positively forb..do Millicent to k-ave "nasty skulls" In tor room, or to examine all the sore of tho children in the village. It wa Teddy who cousaled Millicent when her first oil-painting wa pronia!icyi a "dreadf ul tlaub" by the few critics who viewed it, and Teddy presided over the funeral pyre of the work, and comforted tho chief mourner. After that, Teddy wnt abroad and Millicent studied fiercely, taking Latin in enormous doses, reading Urcck like a profeasor. playing upon tho grand piano only tho most diffi-ult of classic music, and trying to think sho under stood and enjoyed it. When Teddy camo home. Will Kraft had beea six months ia Everdalo, hav ing won his first case in New York, and being a f ull-fledgod lawyer. Ever dalo gossips wcro prone to speak of tho two young men a rival, although Will had lately taken rather a savago tone in speaking of women w ho were not con tent to bo simply domestic aniel and consider tho broiling ot beefsteak and darning of stockings as the chief end of woman. But all this time, while conversation was lively in the drawing-room, and many merry voices favored one or tho other of tho opinions quoted above, Daisy Whyte was walking rapidly across the wide lawn past tho table where busy servants were clearing away the debris of the late feast ing, through the rose-garden down to the old summer-house, where already she could see the glory of tha western sky in th sunset. It was a shabby, old Bummer-house, built righ over the river; underneath was tho boat-house, but of late years tho only boat was a small one, in which Millicent ofun rowed about, when weary of brain-work. Hro Daisy was alone, hidden from the river by the ia-y-clad wall, hidden from tho house iy a grove of tree. W ith nobody to see her, th pretty fve lenglhr-nM. the bln eye grew misty and the golden heal droopel. "NeKJy will miss ma," sha thourht, with a forlorn satisfaction. "Ther i Millicent and Carrie Tilbourne and Joio Payne and all tho other girls, all rich nough to have a new dres far tho party, too. No wonder nobody cares for me. in this old thing;" and shogave her foot a swing against the crisp folds of the blue muslin dress. It mizht not have been quito new, but it was most exquisitely launlried by Daisy's own deft fingers, fitted to perfection and hai ruffles white as snow at throat and wrists. "A cheap affair," Carrie Tilbourno rustling in a new silk, had called it; but Daisy w as at an age and had a faco that made cheap aSairs in dreas a secondary consideration. With her peach-bloom cheeks, her soft, blue eyes, large and golden lashed, her dainty figure, her baiy mouth, and cluster of feathery, yellow curl, sho mado tho blue muslin appear tho robe above all others suited to her beauty. "All rich, or with rich relatives," she thought presently; "and they all let nio feel that I am only hero bocauso Milli cent is so gaod-natured. Sho is kind to me, and I 1 wish I loved her more. I do! 1 am a wickel girl, I know; but but she has overy thing, and 1 want so much! It is nearly tne end of August, and in September I must go back to tho seminary and teach scales and exer cises to leginners. I can't even havo tho pleasure of finishing my work. Just as soonas my scholars begin to bo a .'littlo credit to me, they are whiskod o2 to Signor Foldorolli's, and ho gets all the praise I have earned. Oh dear! lifo is so hard!" Of courso Millicent will marry Tod dy, though I do not think sho ought to flirt so much with Will Kraft, and Teddy adore her. Ho is always talk ing about her great intellect, and her wonderful power, and quoting her to mo I as a woman "t to wear a crown. I know I can't talk Greek, and I'm littlo and shy, but I don't think I am quito an idiot. I wish I was tall liko Millicent, and had brown hair and eyes liko Milli cent, and could read Greek and Latin, ThT"pay rarty in the drawing-room was thinking of breaking up. and soma were already standing faying farewell to tho hostess, when two men came in, white and panic-stricken. "The old summer-house has given way. ma'am," ono id to Mr. FJ--and there was some one there! Wo saw one of the yonng lames go 'Who?" was tho cry from au. Oh'." said Millicent, wringing her Pl.BO rni 1S90. hand.s "it must to Daisy! Teddy dear But Tc-.l ly wis gone, swift ai a CasL Ted ly La i ir.i-.sed the baby f.ico K-r.g beforo. Teddy had been listening through all tho merry chat for the low, timid voice ho c-ulj never win from it faint, shy tremor. Teddy hai thrown one lightning glance around tho room, when tho men camo in. and wa already fiying acros the lawn, through tho roso-gardon, down to that awl.il ctupty spacto where tho summer house had gone down with a crash into the water, while Daisy was . long ing to bo like Millicent for Toddy Bake. One awful moment of agony stilled the young man's heart a ho looked boforo him, then a shout reached him: 'Come this way, Mr. Crawford; we've found hor!'' Threo stalwart men wore working at tho ruin, and amid tho timber, the ivy and the flowering vines, ail prostrated about her, lay Daisy, white and in sensible. "Is sho dead?" "No, sir! It's only a faint. I'll carry her up to tho house," answored one of the men. "And I'll go for a doctor," Bald an other. Dazed and feeling as if all brightness had bren suddenly stricken out of his life, Teddy followed tho strong-armed Irishman, who carried Daisy a easily as a child to the house. They mot the whole merry party of a fw min'ttcs lo. fore, pale and sad enough now, and all turnod back. Teddy watched Millicent as sho sped on ahead, prompt and self-pesso.sed, leading tho way to the flrst-f!oor bed room, kept for a gtv'st -chamber, arid tn jfionod the man who carried Daisy to lather on tho bod. Then the door closed, and a dread silence fell upon tho group of watchers. Mrs. Kurlx-rwont in, nil, afterasbort delay, the doctor camo. By and by, Mr. Furber came out, with a gravo face. 'She i bally hurt," sho said, "but wo can not tell yet if there is dinger." Slowly, with words of sympathy, tho gusts withdraw, all except Teiy and Will Kraft. It wa long beforo Millicent cam out, but she v.-.is very palo a she went Straight to Ted y. "Telly, dear," sho said, tenderly, "you love Daisy?" "Ketter than my lire!" he answered, hoar ely. "You shall see her. Stay ono moment. Sho is terribly hurt, atil"' her voieo grew husky thero must be an opera tion. It may not susceoll Yoa under stand?" - IIo bowed his head cilently. "You will not ex said, pleadingly. me uer?" Milli.-ent "She asked to see you." I will not troublo her," Teddy an swered, and Millicent led him into the room, where Daisy lay upon tho bed, white and trembling. "Daisy," he whispered, tonderly, "my love, my darling!" The great blue eyes flashed open in a glorious radiance that conquered fear and pain. "Yon lovo TOt'""' The faint voice thrilled liko mosi.t "1 love you, Daisy. You will bo brave now, for my sake." "Yes, ye! I only wanted to say good bye, but now " "Now you will live to bo my wife, my darling :"' "If God wills!" sho said, softly. IIo kied her with tender gentleness and left her to Millicent and the doctor. An hour later, while he paced up and down tho g irdc-n ia an agony of hope and fear, the doctor came out. "Sho i doing nicely,"' was tho report; "with MiUi -eui" nursing, sho will re cover. Millicent is a woman in a thousan-L" "Isn't sho?" said Teddy, heartily. "I never saw hor equal." "H'tu!" said tho doctor. "I always thought, Mr. Teddy, that yoa and Milii ent Eh?" "Oh, bless you. no!" sa!a Teddy, frankly; "she wouldn't have me on any terms." "H'm: But that poor, little cro.-fcoi rosebud " "Yes:" interrupted Teddy. "You'll como to tho wedding?" "Indeed. I will. Well! well!" and tho doctor drove off, wondering a little at his friend's choice. But Millicent. comir.g out in tho dusk, after watching Daisy fall into a deep opiate sleep, found Will Kraft still in the drawing-room. "Millicent," ho said, coming to moot her, "can you forgivo my conceited speeches to-day? I was half mad with jealousy, i-ecauso you soemed to care more for Teddy " "Why, of course I do!" interrupted Millicent. "Teddy i the brother of my soul, and 1 amsoglad he loves Daisy that I could sing for joy if I was not afraid of waking her." "But, Millicent, if you lose your soul's brother, won't there bo a vacancy in your heart, and Millicent" hero an auda cious arm crept round her waist "won't you take my life's devotion " and so on, and so on. Diiisy recovered, and if Will Kraft pcutcd somj over Millicent's constantat tendanco' in .the sick-room, To ddy was always ready to share in tho wail, and, as "misery likes company," these two consoled each other, until ono brilliant November day, when the sunshine seemed stolen from sumnacr to shino upon the double wedding which Mrs. Furfcer gave to her niece Millicent, and tho littlo orphan Xriend, Daisy Whyte. And Evordale gossips still say: "Did you ever! Why, only a few months before, Teddy was railing at bread-and-butter girls, and Will at strong-minded ones:"' N. Y. Ledger. The Care ot Hooka. Books placed in a library should bo thoroughly dnsted two or threo times a year, not only to keep them in all their freshness, but also to prevent any de velopment of insects and to examine for sign of dampness. The interior of a book also asks that care which unfortu nately is neglected very often. After having taken a book from tho shelves it should not be opened beforo ascer taining that tho top edge i not covered with dust. If it is a book that ha had the edge cut, it should bo dusted with a soft duster or tho dust simply blown off. If it is a book with uncut edges, it should bo brushed with rather a hard brush. By this method in openiig tho volume ono need not be afraid that the dust will enter between tho leaves and . soil thera. Si.-iit:.--r and Printer. - 1 pcBtpge ocr year in jsr.02.

Would I dare to venture down-stairs, 1 wondered, after the ftm ily were gone out of doors, and trust to slipping away quietly before it was time for them to return? It was after I had oaten my solitary supper of bread and milk, and wr.s pre paring to make another trip to the attic to carry my dearly-hought R-dlo h,.".'lc and a few ot her boohs a..-l pi-tures to arnuso my lonely hour., tl. a t- mother opened the -stair door and called tct: Isaheila. if you are ready to be good girl you may come clown in time to see the tire-halls. We are going over to Mrs. Franklin's to get a good view. You may come now, if you want to." "I don't want to, now or ever." I said, but not loud enough for her to hoar. "Mrs. Franklin's" was just n"ro the street from our house, but their sh i le trees did not hid.j the view a-) ma-.mts ours.

Poor little simpleton! I am actually sorry for my silliness r.nd igno rance as I look back upon it all. How little suspicion I had as to what a long bright summer day could make of itself to a little girl shut up in a lonely attic, with nothing to do, and nobody to speak to. Not fW a moment did it occur to me to take the lamp or the mnT-hos, r touch the lantern; I had not the slight est intention of disobey irt oither fr.th' r or mother. Yet I was about to run away! But that, you understand, had never been forbidden. It was quite dark when I at last bad every thing ready for the night. I de termined to venture just a few minutes of gazing at tho lovely fireballs, w hich were now being wildly tossed about. I I could tell from the shouts, and front various noises in the street', that they must be even more fascinating than usual. I decided to slip into mother's room, whose end window opened to tho street, and would give mo the best view of the family's approach from Mr. Franklin's. Of course I would not stay until it was timo for them to como home, but I would bo on tho alert, nevertheless, and run no risk of being caught. Up to this moment I had not once wavered in my resolve to live apart from my family hereafter. Not , always; there wa3 a lurking belief that ! after long years, whoa I should perhaps havo a few gray hairs liko mother's, : and bo quite wrinkled and tired-looking, I would step quietly in some j morning and utterly surprise and de- light them all. Can you believe that any little girl not actually an idiot j could have such idiotic plans? I can not remember that it even occurred to : me that the years which were to make such changes in me would also touch all our family circle. They were to remain lust the same. I rlannea how they would t be gathered about tha family lamp, and what each would bo doing when I should walk in. Those reflections were, on the whole, pleasantcr to me than thoso wiiiiin rearer vision. I found I did not quite like to think how sorry mother would o when she camo homo that night ami could not find mo anywhere.

I was riding along a lonely mountain road, and .-ten only nbotit two miles from tho town or m:r.i:-g can p I Lotul the cry of tho mountain lion. My horse at once si owed fear an.3 ro. fused to movo forwatd. IPs tremblirg w :ts so inter.so that he fairly shook r.io in tiie saddle. To whip and spur ho paid no attention. Indeed, It was only by tho strongest effort that I could prevent him frotn turning and bolting in tho dir. ct ion wo had come from. A crashiiv- ia tho .brush a short distance in advtnco of mo increased tbo horse's fear and retivj ness to such an extc-r.t as almost to un horse mo. We both knew full well what that I crasn.r.g meant, out k was alsi well sat- tsllcd that, tue boa. t would fiet tr. .nid us, because I know that on! j a short dis tanc3 across tho hill was a slaughter house, whither I judged the terror cf the mountains was journeying.
