began gathering np her wraps. One or
two passengers in the same car did the
same for ‘heirs, and among them a
young man of twenty-eight or so, with
a fair mustache, who had traveled

was a handsome fellow, but more dis
tingnished-looking than hardsome, and
dressed with quiet, unimpeachable
correctness. These two qualities Miss
Barrow had noticed in a casual way
when her eye happened once or twice
to fall on her fellow traveler, for she
thought a great deal of both of them
The latter, indeed, is a subject to which
women pay more attention than men are
aware,
As the youog lady alighted on the
platform at Buincbeck an urbane servant
met her and announced that Miss Ham-
ersley’s carrisge was waiting and that
Miss Hamersley regretted not feeling
strong enough to drive down herself.
The man remained behind to see to the
luggage and the caniage drove off. In
rounding the corner to the other side
of the platfurm Miss Barrow saw again
‘her fellow tr.veler with the fair mus
tache; he was speaking to Miss Ham-
_ersley's man, the latter having possessed
of his teau, and as they
Passed she heard him say: “Never mind;
1 take wagthet yohidie." 4
Apparently, then, the gentleman was
a guest of Miss Hamersley. Two or
three years before the knowledge would
probably have afforded Miss Barrow
some gratification, very natural under
the circumstances. The prospect sug-
gested possibilities whieh would cer
tainly have added an unexpected zest to
her solitary visit to an elderly maiden
lady in delicate health at an isolated
country house. But a disappointment
which Miss Barrow had experienced not
long since, through a man to whom she
had been engaged, had changed all such
fo:lings. Asshe herself had said t> her
¢ld friend, Miss Hamersley: “1 not only
feel as if I never again wonld cure for
anv man, but the whole sex has grown
ind fferent to me.”
The drive was quite a jong one, and
sun was shooting rays of slanting
light between the trees and across the
lawns of the well-kept grounds when
the old Famerslay mansion came in
sight. On the vine-clad porch stood
Miss Bamensley parcelf looking like
8 pictare of Revolationary times with
ber small, delicate face, her gray silk
dress and wealth of puffed white hair.
“ Well, my young friend,” she said,
“go I have you at last. Let me look at
yon.” Bbhe raised Miss Barrows veil
and kissed her cheek. ‘As preity as
ever. Now let me take you to your
room—why, what'sthis? Jack Travers,
I declare!”
It was Miss Barrow's fellow traveler,
whose vehicle had followed bers at a
little distance, and who now drove up

“1 expected you to-morrow,” said
Miss Hameteley, laying her hand aijos:

“1 should A telegraphed—"
“Never mind You're always wel-

nephew, Mr. Travers, Miss Barrow.”
A few minutes later, when Miss Ham-
eraley had joined Mand Barrow in her
room, she said: **I hope you will like

the young lady. :

bad thing for the girl, as it would be a
bad thing for any maa who Ishould in-

inerable to the tender passion, and

You will get on nicely, snd your visit

A little later Jack Travers came upon
hisanat and asked: “Who is this young
lady have with you, dear aunt ?”
" See one,” was the reply, *‘whose

for a long dinner dress of pale blue,
which showed to remarkable advantage
the brillisncy and the piquant charm of

But Miss Barrow did not seem in

to take aavantage of the cool, fine day
for a horseback ride. Miss Barrow was
willing, snd a couple of hours later
they were under way. The roads were
in good condition, the air was exhilarat-

capital. The color came into Maud's
cheeks and her eyes shone like stars,
As for Travers, it did not seem to him
that he had ever enjoyed sach a ride

The climb proved to be a rougher

would not be persuaded totake Travers’

“No, no,” she laughed, and stepped
quietly to one side. In doing so she
stumbled over her habit and uttered a

window,

afternoon. When she spoke her toge
was quite different again.

“Itisan insult,” she eried again.
‘ Lizave me —leave me!" And throwing
herself back on the lounge she burst
into a passion of tears. Travers, curs-
ing his folly, left the room.

A Remarkable Adventure,
The mail steamer Curlew, jast in from
the west cuast, brings an acconnt of a
strange and unique adventure. A seal-
ing captain, named James Babbitt, a
native of Buergo, M. F., who had been
somewhat successful among the oil
flelds the past spring, went to Sydney,
C. B., to purchase 8 fishing schooner
Having secured a vessel of about sixty
tons burden he looked around for a
crew, but could not succeed in getting
a seaman for love or money. He then
boldly determined to put to sea alone
and navigate bis vessel down to New.
foundland. He left Sydney on the 3d,
and all went well with him till the
morning of jthe 9th, when, requiring
some refreshment, he lashed his helm
and went below to boil the teakettle,
He had not left the deck longer
than three minutes when he
heard his vessel bump, bump
heavily against a rock. Rushing on
deck he found the schooner's jibboom
clean over a'rock. Startled at his posi-
tion of peril he went out on the jibboom
end ool dropped himself on the rock.
ITe had scarcely landed there when a
puff of wind struck the vessel's head-
sails and wheeled her clear of the reef,
leaving the captain behind. The
schooner was soon lost to sight in the
fog that hung over the ocean, and Cap-
tain Babbitt was left like a lone seagull
on his rocky perch, amid a s'lent waste
of water. He had no food and not a
drop of water to drink. The whole day
passed and night came on, but withont
auy sign of approaching succor,
About noon of the next day some
skids were off from the shore for gun-
ni g purposes. The strange sailor was
discovered on the highest peak «f the
rock, and was rescued with some diffi-
enlty and br ught sufely to his home in
Bunergo. No tidings of the derelict
schooner have yet been learned.—S¢

Sometimes eight or ten roses are clus- |
tered together so as to produce the ap- |
pearance of a huge rosette, while double
narcissi and large bunches of azaleas
are in great favor. In fastening on these |
flowers, it wiil be found well to use a
gentleman's scarf pin, as the stulke, be- |
ing thick, cannot be encompassed by an |
ordinary pin.
For skirt trimmings one wide flounce :
beaded by several small ones, two uar- |
row knife-plaited frills, headed by a |
wide, falling bouillonne, and several |
small flounces, or the skirt covered to |
the knees by alternate narrow ruffles |
and puffirgs, are the favorite styles. |
Above these skirt trimmings, set on in |
whatever ranner they may be, is the |
inevitable scarf, draped arcu.d straight |
a Is Espagnole, or shirred in the center |
and arranged en panier. In very rich |
materials the skiri*s usually plain, the |
only trimming consisting of a full wide |
garniture around the bottom, three |
puffings, with a fluted edge each way, a
double box pluited flounce lined with a |
contrasting color, or a coquille ruche, |
feathery aud full, being three popu'ar |
modes of forming this trimming.

Story of a Bedstead.
It was night.
The boarding house was wrapt fu
tenebrous gloom, faintly tinted with
an odor of kerosene,
Baddenly there arose on the air a
voll, followed by wild .bjargations snd
fur ons anathemas,
Then there was a clanking and rat
tling, as of an overturned picket fence,
and another yell, with more anathemas,
The fatted boarders listened, and,
ghostly clad, tip-toed along to Baffum’s
room, he of Buffam & Bird, second.

there there was a whiz, a grinding, a
rattling and a baag, and more yells,
They consulted and koockel on the
door,
“Come in"
“Oen it.”
“I can't."
Convinoed that Buffam was in his last
agony they knooked in the door with a
bad post,
The sight was ghastly, Olasped be-
tween two sturdy though slender frames
of walnut, Buffam, pale as a ghost, was
six feet up in the air. He counlds’t
move. He was cought likes bear in a
log trap.
“What on earth is it?” they said,
‘ Bedstead —combination. ' New pat.

Buifom, |
His story was simple, thongh tearful. |
He had brought ithome that day, and |
after using it for a writing desk, had |
opened it out and made his bed, He |
was going pescefully to dream land, |
waen he rolled over and secidentally
touched a spring. The faithful inven-
tion immediately became a double
erib, and turned Baffam into
« squalling wafer, Then he struggled; |
and was reaching aronnd for the!
spring, when the patent bedstead thought
it wonll show off some more and

and was a clothes-horse, Buffum said |
he didn't like to be clothes, and he
would give the thing to anybody that
would get him out. They said they
would try. They didn't want any such |
fire-¢ xtinguisher as that for their tron®
ble, but they would try. They inspect
it cautiously. They walked all around
it, Then the commission merchant laid
bis little finger on the top end of it. |
The thing snorted and reared as if it |
had been shot, slapped over with a
bang aud became an extension table
for ten people. When they recovered |
from the panic they came back. They |
found the commission merchant in the |
corner trying to get breath enough |
to swear, while ho rubbed his shins, |
Baffam had disappeared, but!
they knew he had not gore far.
The |
invention appeared to have taken a |
faney to him and incorporated him iato |
the firm, so to speak. He was down |
underneath, straddling one of the legs |
with his hesd jammed into the mat-
tress. Nobody dared to touch it. The
landlady got a club and reached for its
vital parts, but could not find them, |
She hammered her breath away, and
when she got through and dropped the |
club in despair the thing swung out its |
arms with a gasp and a rattle, turned
over twice and slapped itself into a bed
again, with Buffum peacefully among
the sheets. He held his breath for a
minute, avd then, watching his oppor. i
tunity, made a flying leap to the floor
just 'n time to save himself from being |
a folding screen.
A man with a black eye and cut lip |
told the Wasp editor about it ye ter- |
day. He said he owned the patent and

A Leap for Life,

very much those of the capitol and the
lower town at Washington. It was the
favorite residence of the famous Egyp-
tian dictator of the last generstion, |
Mehemet Ali Pasha, who strongly forti-
ed it and kept a number of heavy
cannon covstantly pointed from its walls
at the city below to overawe the disaffec-
tion which his iron rule inevitably pro-
duced. The walls are stiil in tolerable
repair, and might give some trouble to |
a force noprovided with heavy siege ar-
tillery. Above the ramparts are visible |
at a considerable distance the tall, slen- |

cal renown as the scene of the famous |
“massacre of the Mamelukes” by order |
of the pasha. Mehemet, finding in the
turbulent independence of these war- |
like chiefs a formidable |
obstacle to his cherisned |
schemo of absolute power, invited them |
to a banquet in the court-yard of the |
citadel. They rashly accepted the |
treacherous courtesy, and were saddenly |
fired upon in the midst of their revel by |
a detachment of soldiers concealed in |
the encircling colonnade. All perished |
save one, the son of the priccipal chief, |
who, alone preserving his presence of |
mind, threw himself npon tke ground |
and succeeded in reaching his horse, |
which was tied to an adjoining pillar.
Springing upon its back he cut his way |
through the swarming assailants, and,
finding the gates shut against him, took |
a flying leap from the top of the wall, a |
height of eighty feet. The horse was |
killed on the spot, bat the daring |
