The old man was uneon-M-iou but llriitte took Viim un dcr her firm as if he were a bundle of straw, carried him home and rublied him so viyoronsly that animation was restored. When he opened his eyes the from! creature shed tears of joy, and he had the delicacy not to mention the fact of her having nceflected to save his trowel, which he had dropped in the water, and which wa.s ;i rrroat. loss. lo ine (ptite new. On the contrary, he exclaimed, in a burst of ,-rulcful gen erosity: "Von saved my life, and I shall not forget it. I shall fcr've J,,u n present. Jlricitte.'

"Twenty cents." he said, "over aTio aliovo your wajjos. I.riitte; you undei stand. this is not to le deducted; it is a present. Now do lnt spend it fuolishly. You can buy a lottery ticket with it, and p-rhaps yu will win a hundred thousand francs:' It was the first tune in his life that he had breu fo jrenerinis, and lie could not forget it, but seemed to take a tender interest in the fate of his twenty -cent piece. A ea in and arain he asked the old woman whether she had bought the ticket. "Not yet, master,'' was her answer, every time he asked, but one day bhe. replied to his usual impjiry: "Yes, master, I have lourht it." "What iiuuiIkt i: it?" he said. "Numtier thirty-four."

It was the result of the drawing of the lottery, and one line stood out in flaming figures which nearly dazzled him. "Number :14 wins the grand prize cf one hundred thousand francs" The miser uttered such a cry ns he read, that the startled barber "prsiied with his razor the ear of the school master, who was lieiug- shaved at that moment. "What is the matter?" cried loth men at once. 'Oh, nothing, ntithinjr," answered Landry, recovering his presence of mind, and then he readjusted his spec tacles and road the line again, siidling each word carefully. - There v ;ls no mistake; iiuuiIkt thirty-four, Krigitte's number, had won the grand prize! lie put iliiun the pajicr and rushed out of th- sin i p. As he strode alongnu his home ward way, he liocaiue conscious of the fact that old ltrigitte, the drudge, was now a rich woman, and that, it was by mean of his twenty-cent piece that tli ii. wonder had come to pass. His money, he reflected, had won the prize. So, did ted the fortune ln-long to him? A dozen different schemes for msse.Mi ing himself of the money passed through his mind, ami at least he decided upon a desM-rate plan. "Well, I'rigitte, any news?" he sai.l. as he entered his hoiike, where the woman wa.s busy nt nor usual tasks. "No. master, except that one of the chickens has the pip." It was clear that she had not yet heard the news, and the old man chuckled with delight at the thought of his own shrewdness. lie liegan by orderin-; llrigitte to kill a fowl and cook it for dinner with a piece of pork, gave her siionej" to buy ennVe. sugar, and a Vetlo or brandy, nnd then went down t. the cellar to fetch some wine. "What evil spirit hus got into him?"" thought I'rigitte in arjjizement at thLs unherd-of cxtravagr.aco, but when the meat "wa.s ready, and two plates set at tali, her wonder increased at the j'lMspcct of company to dinner. tld Lur.idry. however, lold her to sit in the place opposite him, anil when she re .ftised to take oii-li a liln-rty he -c-x-n'laimed. sternly: "Ih as. 1 toll yon, you old idiot!" Then the woman, having heard that itwasdangeeonstooppo.se the whims of a crazy man, sat down trembling on the edge of the chair, and her master having filled b-r plate and gl-ass said persuasively: "4 io on. mt good woman, eat. drink." and when they had got as far as the coffee he exelaimwd. suddenly: "ISrisritte, I'm going ti get married. " "Indeed, master."' she replied. "I think you re right. You are not too old." "Well, since 3-011 think that, we shall Ik- .narriv J a soon as possible., you and I," he said. After the chicken and pork and wine, I'rigitte thought she was pit-pared for anything, but this was tio much. "You joking," she gasjied iu ter ror, but the other hastened to explain that he was growing old and had no re lations. 110 friends, and he ilid not want to die atf alone like a dog: liesides that, he was not ungrateful, confound it! And llrigitte hail saved iii life, lie could not forget that. The bun ns were publis'hed immedi ately, and the wedding took place to flie great delight of the whole village. Then tbc strange pair returned t- tln-ir home, where a new servant, engaged iu Hrigittc's place, awaited 3hem. They had hardly got inside the house-when the bridegroom asked, merrily: "My dear, wlierc did yem hidu your ticket T "What ticket?" snid the bride, taking off her spectacles aiid looking womler ingly at the speaker.

"I have only two minutes to get my breakfast and catch my train." said u tall man in an Irish frieze ulster to the waiter in a railway station the other morning. "What can you give me in the st-ialh st possible time? Take into eonsideral ion. too. tbi-aaet that I hnve left my false teeth under the pillow at my hotel." "We have just the thing for you, sir," and he immediately brought a cup of oolTev and a piece of lemon pie. The gentleman sat down, and in less than a minute from the time lu; gave his order was rushing toward the otth-e for his ticket. "lie made pretty good time," re marked a customer w ho tat at the next table. "Oh, that's notbing," replied the waiter; "we leat that every day. I once knew a man whoeame iu here who had only sixty s-ootiils in which to gi t his breakfast, buy his ticket and reach his train." "What did yon give hi;n?" '"Two soft b:un'd apples and a glass of milk. lie finished m just fifteen seconds, took another fifteen for the purchase" of his ticket, and when I last saw him he wa.s walking up mulylotwi the platform smoking a cigar, impa tiently waiting for the train to start. "I sup m ise most passengers who come in here are in a hurry?" "Never saw but two who were not. and one of these was a soldier who had lost !xth legs in the war. and the other was a tramp who was waiting for the night freight. "Win n a customer comes in and says he wants something to eat in a hurry 1 ask- him how much time ho has or what train he wants to catch. Now. I have a list of those articles that I can serve ami which can bo eaten in exactly the time the passenger has to spare.

A cast? of a very uncommon nature is ton. me I e fore the council of rotate in l'aris. Some time ago a soldier named tiiigel tried to kill an officer against whom he lxre a grudge, and hnving lieeu tried by court-martial was con demned to death. The president of the ii public, on ail the circumstances of lie- case being laid liofore him, used his prerogative of mercy, and the sentence of death was changed to one of twenly years H-nal servitude. The prisoner. uoii being informed of the fact, how ever, flatly refused to prolit by this clemency, and maintained his right to bo shot, arguiirg that such a death does not dishonor a soldier, whereas penal servitude is degrading. He now ap-H-alstothe council of state to annul the president's decree and order th ex ecution of the original sentence. There is some doubt as to the jurisdiction of the council, and the general opinion is that tlugel will be obliged to overcome his prejudice against life coupled with hard work.

It seemed impossible to criti cise her; a good, true heart must le the etinter of such physical loveliness, but loubt whispered: '"Wait and watch." 4 f guests there were Swven ladies and eight gentlemen, llessie had. therefore, to choose her fir partner, and Cecil watched eagerly to see which this would In-.

Yet, despite himself, doubts would break into his adverse decision. "Per haps she is true, after ail; her spirits may be her way of entertainment. I may lx; making a fearful mistake." F inally gtxxl luck advanced him and he I XL-came her part nor for a game. She was all life again; exactly a-s she had U-i-n to the author. He Wlioved he de tected her wish to draw him on to lov ing her, and, though flattered, the old dpubt grew stronger. The duties of hostess did not necessitate such action; she had tried to draw the author on; was trying him now. The only restilt ! would lx' that she would reiect them I lxth in ridicule. M u-ic and promi Tiadintr through the spacious house follow,-! cards. 4'oeil I hastened to engage llessie as compan ion, the author forestalled hun. He walked angrily into the consorvatory and stopped lx-fore a palm, .Ostensibly examining it. but in reality analyzing his state of mind. Was he jealous? If so. lie really loved llessie, mt couid he ask her to lx- hi when all 1m- had seen confirmed her cpiotry? llessie and Hughes came near and stop-d Ih fore a large plant, but with their backs toward Cecil, who was well screened from them. "Miss Failingtoii." said the author, in the unmistakable voice of devotion, "do you like literature?" "I love it." she replied. "Let me tell you a little secret that yon must never reveal. I have lately had quite a nuin lx r of poems published anonymously, of course." "Adorable." hocried.enthusiast ically. ".You must show them to me." "Ily no means. You would criticise th- N.r little attompt.s." "Not for worlds. They could not help lx-ing f ull 1 if lire and genius, ilut would you not like to devote your life, yourself, to literature?" "Oh! Mr. Hughes, my humble talents Wouldn't last a fortnight." "1 don't mean in that way; though your talent would. I mean would you not like to live always in a literary at mosphere in fact. Miss Faliinglon, as the wife of an author-.'" "l'ardon me. Mr. Hughes," she ex claimed, "but I H Ix-lieve this rare plant is dying. I must tell father at once." '"Ilon't turn mo aside," pleaded the author, trying to catch her hand. "I love vou to" "Hush. hush. Mr. Hughes." she whisjKTed. "IUto comes someone." The sonic one wa.s Tom l'lotton, and Ik- w as coming directly for them. "Mr. Hughes." he said, "they are asking for you in tlu- parlor. They're discussing the authorship of a late anonymous jxx-m. They want you to help them out." "Very well," replied Hughes, gallant ly, "and I think I can make u. good dc lision on the latest ainl liirectest infor matii in." "Ixiit't you dare." exclaimed llessie. with a light laugh, the meaning of which came in words as sxm as the authwr was Out of hearing. "Oil! I'm soelad you came. for. don't you think, be was just declaring his love for mo." lloth broke into a hearty laugh. Con viction struck Cecil. Jf this wasn't an evidence of heartless "iquetry, what could lx.-? He sincerely thanked his gixxl fortune that his doubt had kept him from declaring his own love sever al months lx-fore in a similar place. "And I have no doubt," he hoard l'lotton say. "that if 1 were now to say that I love you, you'd thank some one for interrupting, and laugh as heartily over i:iy s-iliines.s, wouldn't you?" "I'erhaps I should." "Though you have given me some on C'lilragetneiit. I Jessie." "Have I .' Come. I want to tell father this plnnt is dying." TJ'-ey moved .r.vay, aiul "Veil returned to the parlor, thrilling with pleasure at his narrow ese::rx-. I!e rejoiced greatly tluit llessie Fa'.aiigton had never had a chance to laugh at him. He shortly withdrew elated, but in the night, doubt of his decision troubled him. The heart and head would not agree. The stronger became the latter, the fuller was the former of regret that he could not have llessie Fallington. Next morning he hastened to I'lot son" establishment and found that gen tleman in iiis glass otliee hx.king quite happy. "ilappv commission stroke?" asked Cecil. "Yes, an unusual one. Well. I sup-pos-ymi have come to compare notes al-out llessie I 'aliingtoii." "Yes." "Wi 11. what's your decision?'' "That she is a heartless flirt, and I think I'll give up all thoughts of her." "You think so." "Yes, ouly think, for I still can't de cide, and I came again to get your opinion." "'Well, 1 11 let you have it. I don't think she would make you a gxxl wife. I be Hove myself she is a dirt, and that she has lots of faults. If I were you I'd look elsewhere." "This is your earnest, sincere advice, is it ?" It is. Hut there is another reason whv I'd give her up if I were vou." "What is it?" "She is engaged." "Lngaged. and flirting around the way she did with you and Hughes and myself. It's awful. Who to?" "Well, its something of a secret yet. She engaged herself only last night." "Last night? Not to Hughes?" l'lotton laughed heartily, and said: "tiiioss again." "I can't, (live me the name." "Thomas J. l'lotton." Cecil sank into a chair, and stared. Tom laughed lxe.storously, nine-tenths of it K ing pure, unalloyed joy. "Hut, but you said," stammered Cecil, "that she wa.s a flirt, no housekeeper, and full of faults." "I know I did, and say so still." "A in! going to marry her! "Yes, by all means, and we'll 1m? as happy as anyone can In on earth. I love 1 lessi. Fallington, ami if she had ten times her faults, my love demands that I tnnst have her, and it will have her.

"ily means of a cow." he answered, pr mpt ly. "What? I must have rr.isunderstixsl you." said the writer. "I iii.1 net ask you how you got milk f r yni:r La:i!y, but how you got engaged to the lady w ho is now your wife." "l'.y means of a cow," he answered again. He w as prevailed upon to explain and told a very singular, unique and touch ing story of love, solemn promises, hap piness and cow. Hero is the tale ro duiod to modi-rat-- length. The gentle man may, for convenience, lx- termed Mr. X. and the lady Miss Y. Mr. X., when he was twenty-four years of age, went to stay with his uncle at -is wour.trv place 0:1 the east ern shore -f Maryland. Having said that he had relations who lived on the eastern shore, it has lx-cn s;.i.l that he wa.s of most aristocratic lineage, for evi-rylxxly knows tl'at the families of that portion of the earth":, surface are all of the very best. Yirginia itself is t:ot more noted for families than th" famous eastern rhi.ro. In fact, if a geography were called upon to truth fully say what is the principal jir.xiuct of the eastern shore it Would Is obliged to say "o'-l families." Young X. found at his uncle's hou-.e a young Yirgioia girl. Miss Y. X. had nothing in the world to do, nor had Miss Y., so tney killed time by falling in love with each other. It i not a bad amusement i:i the country. You can read xx-try to gether, sit on jxirchcs together, take walks in the dusk togcth Tin is pretty sure of 110 rials, the girl i- in no danger of having the man enticed away from her. X. and Miss Y. ha. I a glorious time for two weeks ami one of their favorite amusements every even ing was to stroll down to the pasture and watch the milking of the cows. There was one cow in particular of which the youth and tho maid grew very fond. She wa.-. a young .b-rsey Ahicmoy was the term u -el then t lie color 1. f a fawn, with a glossy, lx-anti-ful coat and eyes as gentle and soft in their expression as Miss Y.'.s own. As she would stand in the c.xil of tho even ing lazily whisking the flies with her tail she would permit the young couple to approach her and stroke her or scratch her fhrehead. There is noth ing particularly romantic in the act of scratching a gentle cow between the horns, but it happened that one day as X. stretched out hishand to perform this pleasing act of friendship to the heifer his hand met Mjs Y."s. and the cow, moving back as 11 impressed with the conviction that she was spoiling fun, left them hand in hand in the eorner of the pasture. After that they no cr missed a day in the pasture and they always caressed the Jersey cow, until one day X.'s uncle, joining them, said jocosely : "You young pcojde seem so fond of that cow that I shall have to rive her to one of you," 'To which of us?" said X. . 'Ah:" said the uncle, "you must settle that between you." When the old gentleman went off, X. looked at Miss Y. and said, simply: "Can my uncle give the cow to both of us?" And she quietly answered: "Yes." And so this substantial citizen lx caraf engaged, a.s he truly said, through the agency of a cow. Then- are a thousand ways of lopping the question, in.l upon careful inquiry it has lx.-en ascertained that the method which is usttnlly employed ujsirt the stage and iu n-e. cis i.. tie- most iin 1- L ' ti. n-:, 1 1 - i-r e. .'-a -o:.l ci.,i--io!- -i . 1 I., i : ! tin- vari ".. j r f ''is life.
