It was a cold day, Imt the colonel
was comfortable iu tnitid and body,
liusincss had gone wt-11 with l.im. lie
had had a pood breakfast. He was
luakinp a trial trip in a new overcoat,
which was as weii suited to blustery
weather as any hp had ever worn. As
he stfKKl at the romer waiting for the
car he was at tirst amused and then in
terested iu the movements of a man
who wore no overcoat, who had only
one foot, and -who was making Wlieve
that he was not cold. Th:: colonel
finally said: "Yon seem rather shivery,
my friend." Quick as a Hash came the
rei-ly: "I am. J have no mre Mood
tliaa a tfmiw, but there are worse
things tti;.n shivering around vvaitiuy
i'or u job. and I ant not as cold as 1
look. 1 una not as ray as a lark, but I
.tin happier than a fellow w U has the
urrip "'
"What ar.- yiu standing-here for in
'to cold? Why don't yon ;'. home and
.t by the tire awhile'.' A tuuu who has
a more bloo.t than a rixsrt tu;rht not
i be takin;r such ri ks." The cmlonel
i led l.umorv'.lly as he said this,
dtlii. sniiti- was iinswrn'il by one
t as ;j'i.k1 liutr.ored on the face of
itlw-r. "1 have un object." he
aI. "Ilo yoii .see that lUe f coal? I
a lurliiry abiut to jfet a job to carry

"ltor.s slie know Ilovv V"J lot yonr

The whole tittitnd.' and apin-aran :e
of the m ai eo w -il ia an instant, and
Ii said t ili'v ;:tid sonsewhat resont-fitll;-:
"Nn, linyou'.'"
A-uin that airtn.ed and interestel
lo.k came over the colonel's face. aDd
he said, stuilinjj.r: 4N. I don't know.
How did you lose your foot?"
"In an accident," said the man. "In
an accident in which I jfot only what
I deserved. I was foolhardy ami f'Kl
ish and well, I Ijst my foot, and that
is all there is ti it""
"liidn't lose it in a football frumc,
11 1 you?"' The man chuckled and shook
nis head. "You weren't run over by a
.tr -et car?" Another snake of the
Lead. '-ilidu't have it torn olT by
machinery? " "Not exact ;y." said the
'..tin. "Were you iu the army?" A
rrav. alilrinative inclination of the
:iea 1. "JliJ you lose yotii foot while.
i-o:t tver.j io the army?" Another dI
"lid you h:tve it sliot olf.' "Not,
no. well. no. No, I can't say that J
l.d. It wa :t narrow escape, though."
"Well, I don't supp se there was any
lin ; to '. e aslut'.n.rd oi'. was there?"
i'ii r ! n d a'c?l this wiiii so tie iitt-).tlic:i.-".
in'. !riiiptly came the reply:
"O'.i. v:.. t'l T.' was. I w.is ashaiii ?d of

-shamed of it that I never t.-llthe

it?" A ieer li.ht came into the
co'iinel's eyes and he molded and
.s iled. "Well, I 11 i. -t you sixteen
cents you didn't. I'll o you half a dol
lar you didn't, lint that's what's tho
r .iilter with me. I was n j"mm1 soldier.
1 was proud of oeiaif a pri mkI soldier. 1
Ivid done .io.I service. I was never iu
t ic rear in t.m- of battle. I was not a
at man and I knew I was n.rt. but 1
i 1 my duty and I took threat satisfae
: ..n in !.in;- it. I hml -.Teat luck, too
! -canse I was not sick; I had not liver,
i i th.? hospital; I was never in the
t; .i ird house and the boys cotinted n j
one of the jolly men of the coinjwtny.
bat in tine threat battle it was a l it;
frrht. I tell you there was a terrific
:iuiuadin' and our division was
andiiifr in line of battle waiting- for
the whirlwind to strike us. There was
;t tremendous racket ami confusion on
our riyht. but we had little to do ex
cept to .stand and watch the scared
rabbits Htid other animals as they
rushed blindly pclliucll across onr
front, but every few minutes shells
would burst near us or lanre cannon
balls would coine rolling oblique
ly from the left front. One of
theso tolled almost along- our
line. We could s.-e it coming saw it
ImiuiiiI up ten or twelve feet when it
si ruck a rock or log, th.-n come whirl
ing a!on toward us. It was almost as
la rye as a football, and in motion
fs.'euied as smooth :.ml olisied as fin
ished steel. It had ueer effect on
all the uicn. I saw a dozen et ready
to stop it with their feet. I heard the
captain shoot for thctti to let the thiny
alone, but it fascinated me. The idea
ca ne into my mind that I could Stop
it easily, and that I must. So in
sn te of all shouts and commands I put
uiv loot out t it a little kick and
1 had a foot, or rather I bud one foot
lens.
"I had a good deal of time to think
it over, and I came to the conclusion
I was the blamedest fool in the corps.
They wanted me to go home. They
wanted me to take a discharge. I
wouldn't do it. I couldn't afford to,
you see, mi mI began to yet about
ncrnin the colonel took pity on me and
i-ut in me in the tiuartertnaster's de- ,
pariment, and then when I was spry J
cnoiifrh to look after thinp 1 -tter he :
litvl me detailed to 1-tok after his horse
and keep thiu-rs in order in his tent, .
nnd in the course of the next year or j
two 1 ijot t n SLe a troixl deal of lighting,
even if I was minus a f-xit.
"I didn't make a pretty picture riding-
a horse, but I rode a horse a good
deal. The boy.s laughed at me when
ever they -saw me. They couldn't tret
used to the foot, that wasn't there, you
know. They couldn't get used to that
st u in ix They said a fellow thai had
only one foot ought not to rtd- a horse.
I'ut there was a time when the lmys
cheered tne, and you may know when
they cheired a Wooden-legged man on
hor.sel-ack that there was something to
cheer for. It was this way: The regi
ment was haviug a hot time and about
half the boys were down and the
colonel hail lost his hor.se and
was on foot and swearing mad
about it, when I concluded I'd take
him another horse. I jumped on with
out thinking much alxjut style, you
kuow, and 1 started into that hornet's
nest and the devil was to pay general
ly. I had to Cght for the horse: I had
to fight to yet to the colonel, but 1 got
there. I jumped olT and he got on ami
the boys rallied round him like a Uock
of partridyes nnd we all got out. Not
much style about it, you see. but the
boys cheered tue.
"The thing has lieen a great Wither
to me ever since the war. There are a
-reat many thinjrs that I could have
done well if 1 had had two legs or two
feet that 1 couldn't do with only one
foot. 1'eople don't like to have yon
stumping around and making a noise.
It is very troublesome, they sa . for a
man with a stump foot to go upstairs
and dov.ti. and a fellow may try as
hard as he pleases to step easy and he
can't. it is stump, stuino. stnmji.
stump, and jieople don't like it. It
isn't business, you know, so 1 haven't
had any great success in life, but I
have yot alony Itetter than if I had
b. niched a live wire.
'Then 1 have the etisscdest d reams
you ever heard of. (.'aiinoii balls bany
at me from every direction, louiie over
me or scoot under thu rcl; knock olT it
ley or an arm. and keep me busy dody
iny. and occasionally a big forty pound
er knocks me out of Led and I wake up
o:i the rt'ir. lint this isn't as bad as the
j;.;..i-jams.
"'1 he great trouble came when I
v -nt home. I wouldn't yo ba-U 1. the
old TieighlMrhiMMl. I wan very sensi
tive on the tpicstion of losing that foot.
I t-r.uie west, ai.d fora gol many j. cars
had pretty good luck. Of course, i am
down now. but I'll lie up again that
is to sny if I Oon't yet the yrippc. 1 am
not as tronyas I was and am not us
-!i:pis-r as a bird, but I'm none of y our
gi-L.-llLlers."
Why don't 3'ou apply fora peusioa?"
.she 1 tile colonel.
"(Ireat Scott, ask for a jn-nsioo on
that fool: ask my captain to testify as
to how I lost it: ask the 1 oys to Sell tin
story of what they saw that mornniy?
Wouldn't do it for all the money .lay
tioiiM ever had. No sir. no m-iis'khi for
me. I've to. d lies about that foot for
twer.ty-tive yeats. '1 he general im
pression is that 1 lost it in some sneak
ing. undi'rhand.Ml way, and that I don't
care to talk alxiut it. You see if i bad
sUo.l still and I t that blamed cannon
bull str.k" me it would have l-en al.
r ylit lint I didn't do that. I met the
'ling half way. I was like the nioukey
ih::t put Ins tail ill th snappin r t i.rtle'.s
mouth. 1 did a fool thiuy, and I got my

THAT OLD DKKSS.
What It Did for Its Self-Sacrificing
Wearer.
Mrs. Landgon had sent out cards cf
invitation to her "dear live hundred"
friends for a grand ball at her elegant
residence on I'ilth avenue, in honor of
the entrance of her twin daughters
into society.
They had just been graduated at
some fashionable "linishing ofF" estab
lishment, a:id their debut was intended
to Ik- a very magnificent affair.
Mrs. (ire gory, husband and daugh
ters, were oil the invited list. As the
former and two latter sat in their par
lor, looking at the elegant cards, w ith
the interest. ng subject under deep dis
cussion, they were broken in upon by
the entrance of Mr. tJrcgory, who
looked h:o-a.ssed auil weary.

ter, ''see our invitations U Mrs. Lang
doii's great ball," showing him tlia
cards she held in her hamL "And
there is the loveliest silk at Stewart's
that I w ant to wear. Can 1 go and or
der it to-morrow?"' she pleaded, laying
her white liar.il, flashing with jewel,
on his arm. and looking up into his face.
"Haven t you any dresses to wear?"
he asked, somewhat moodily.
"I'lenty of old ones, which have al
ready i-een worn, and will not answer
for tills part.cular event," she returnecL
"How much will it cost?'"Mr. tireg
ry asked.
"Oh. ixrhaps a hundred and fifty."
said Lena, carelessly, with as little i.lea
of tho value of uiouey aa uulledged
bird.
ller father groaned and said some
thing about "foolish extravagance,"
l he u, drawing out his pocket book,
slowly counted out the required sum
and iai I it on the table.
"How much do you want, IJertha?'
he askeih turning towards her.
I don't think I want any, papa. I
have a oretty dress, winch will answer
very nicely," she replicL
"You're a sensible girl, and the man
that gets you for a wife will have
some one to help him keep his lieu t
altove water. If the pressure on the
money market lasts much longer, v.-.th
tlii-v lU'IDilinls to nii'i't, I shi.lls.ioll be

'What is the trouble with r.r.rin?

said Lena. "Anyone would think hi

"It isoncoi his money-nervous spells:
he is always so aim il hi. business af
fairs won't come out jus', so . ,t ra.gh: ;
then it is economy, and retrenchment,

That i.. the way business men alv.ay:,
talk., till it has lieeome tuite an 1 1

drawing a breath i i relief.
"I don't think pupa is trying to
frighten lis xt all," said Ilert'.ia. "1
thin!: his business docs really perplex
hint. I've noticed for a wceU that he
hasliNikel pale and careworn and he
said I ut liitie."
"Was that the reason 3ou didn't want
a new ball dress?" a.sked L -niL
Yes. I'd rather wear an old one than
place papa to the expense of a liewoiie
now, while money is so hard to raise,"
replied I'ertha-
"I'ray inform us how you came to
know so much alxuit monetary affairs,
my daughter." said Mrs. 'regory.
"I heard pa;1:: an 1 Mr. Ain ley talk
ing al. out business when he was here
the other evening, and lie said it was
almost an impossib .l:ty to get any
money at a:l nou." .-.aid I'ertha.
"Well, you are a little iroosy; if you
will go to the grandest ball of the sea
son iu an old made-over ba.l dre-.s. you
can do so. And when you see the vic
tory which may, perhaps. In- won over
a certain gentleman by your elder sis
ter"s more i-tyli.h toilet, you will re
gret your decision in favor of Man-.
Noah's antediluvian costume," said
Lena, sneer'.ngiy.
"I'm perfectly indifferent to the
praise or contempt of the fashionable
world, for there is neither heart nor
sin-eerily in it. I want no dry goods
worshiper for ray future liege lord.
So you have the field open and clear to
yourself.
"Ilertha. what dress have you lo
wear? You haven't any that you've
not already worn two or three Lines,
at least, and I desire my daughters to
make as elegant an appearance as any
of their friends on this occasion," said
Mrs. ti regory.
I'm going to have Mine. Leiceister
make over my blue gros-grain silk, and
you know she is a in .ted genius for re
newing worn ball Iressc.; but if. alter
it is done, it looks antediluvian and
smells musty, I'll do penance -by stay
ing at home," said IJertha.
"Ifcjjust as you prefer: bull thii-k
your father would give you a new one
if you wished it." said her mother.
Lena purchased the new dress and
hail it made up without regard to ex
pense, and il was exquisite when done
. nd extremely liecoming to the young .
lady, who had been congratulating her
self on the success she was determined
to achieve.
Ilerthu's dress came from the niantua
aiaker's hands as 1 uuiiful as it could
be, and none would ever have sus
pected it had alrea ly been thrice worn
unless- she had lieen seen with it on.
It harmonized admirably with lier
fair blonde complexion, forming a
vivid contrast to Lena's more brilliant
style of personal attractiveness ana

On the day previous to the bail Clara
Ainslcy called, a sister of Hugh Aius
ley, who was the fixed central star
around which tho feminine luminaries
had ambitiously beamed for the la..!
two seavius, each fondly hoping to be
thw finally favored one.
II ut t the secr.-t chagrin of each he
still niaint-.iii d the same ijuiet court
liness of manner toward tin 1:1 alL lie
seemed finite as ii. differ, nt to their
heart affairs as he would have lieen to
tlr pyramids, of I.'gypt.
This was the gentleman Lena was
lKV.d'itig :;d her cucrgies to ensnare
and bring to her feet before the pres
ent s-a rfin clo: -d.
Clara was an iutimatc friend of both
the girls aud she was invited upstairs
to see the dresses, which had just l-een
seut home. Their beauty she warmly
oxputiated on, but Lcua would not al
low her to leave iiutil she had told her
of I'or'ba's wonderful tit of economy.
The combined eutreaties of all the
trio could uot induce Mr. i regory to
aeeo-npany th -in to M '-s. Lair.-doii's.
IK pleaded a headache and fatigue.
This was a cover to the real reason.
His business affairs were daily 1-ccoin-ing
more entangled by m-'aiis of sev
eral heavy failures of parties owing
l.iat to a great extent, and all ho
could see Ik fore him w as ruiu and dis
grace. I!nt be could keep his forelioding- to
himself until after the fete was ovet,
when, if he found no means of extri

lie ini(iiired at once where her father
was, as he had not seen l.'.m there.
To her reply that he had resistod ail
entreaty to come, from great latiguc.
he uttered a prolonged "Ah!" and tell
into a reverie.
Hugh was thinking of the vague re
port he h.:d heard on Wall treet that
morning that the commercial house of
t i regory . Co. was fast totteiing to
ward bankruptcy.
The next morning, at an can) n......
Hugh tailed at Mr. I" regory "s com.t-ing-hoiise.
and offered to help him
through the linancial crisis that was
upon him.
Mr. tt regory had done the same deed
years before for Hugh's father, an 1 he
(II ugh ) kimllv pressed the favor baek
upon him. which was accepted with
te-irs of gratitude in the eyes of the
panic-stricken merchant.
As Clara and Hugh sat at dinner the
next .lay after tho ball, dismissing the
C istumcs brought out there, sl.e relat
ed what Lena had told her of U -rtha's
streak of economy.
"Is that so. Clara?" ho asked. "Has
she as self-sacrificing as that? Lut she
looked as sweet as a rosebud in her
otvss, if it hail Ih-cji Worn Hire - times."
'1 hen he toid her ill eoi'.!i.le:ice ft the
.ti.Voi Mr. tiregory's affairs, and the
reason which had probably deterred
Ih-rlh-i from the outlay for a new dress.
"she is a noble girl. Lira, ami I'm
afra,d we couldn't number many like
her amongst that gay assembly at Mrs.
i.atig.lon's. Surely 'all is not gold that
.'Liters.'"
A week after this the footman at the
jrer rys brought up a card to the
rv-irlor for "Miss Lerthu, and the gentle
man is waiting lie low in the drawing
ro. .ill. "
I'ertha glance. 1 at the card, aud saw
""Hugh Amdey" inserib-d thereon.
"!i 1 y iti say this was for me, John?"
she asked, thinking it must Lave been
intended lor Lena.
"Yes. lua'aiu. He said "M iss Ilertha, "
replied the servant.
Lena pouted at this; she had thought
he had made a rdstake, and an Jiurry
frown cljudcd her fnee as llertlia le
scendc.l to the draw ing-riMim.
Was it I you wished to see, Mr.
Aiusley?" she asked, after siduting
hint. ,
"It was you, yourself. Why? jn-rmit
ine to innuire."
"1 thougiit it might 1- one of John's
blunders, and that sister Lena was the
one d -sire i." said I'ertha.
"No. Miss Ilertha: it is you with w horn
I have special business," he said, at he
.same time watching the sudden enlarge
ment of her blue eyes when lie said
"business.
"I'or several years. Miss llertlia, I've
lieen searching in the circle of my ac
quaintance for a noble, true-hearted
'..oman to ask to lteconie my wife. I

"I'ertha. will answer mi-: yes?"'
";ive nn- time to think, please; it is
so Midden," she stammered, covering
her face with her hands to conceal her
bl ushes.
"You shall have three w hole months
to consider the. subject: then I shall
demand an tinccr-dili-mal answer"
sail Hugh, drawing the hand.- from
her face and presdr.g tin m to his iips.

Playing ar.I Figures.
Few people know the significance of
the figures in playing cards. In olden
times hearts represented "choirmen"
or cccicfeiastics, and the carl5' cards of
that suite have a cae whii-h in form
rese. aided a heart. The spade was
originally a pikchead, typifying the
nobility of the sol liery. The art. sans
were represented by a stone tile, now
known as a diamond. Farmers w ere
represantoJ by a trefoil or clover leaf,
now called a club. The four k.ngs
were originally David. Al-xanler,
Caesar and Charlemagne, representing
birth, fortitude, piety and wij-Joai.
