Jessie's Test-
MIb Je ruslia Jeiiklnson fohtetl hrr
naiiltln with slow, precise carefnllnes,
ami then follnwetl her pretty little
liostesi from the dining-room back to
the parlor, where the soft nstral lamp
Rlowetl like a silver moon, and the Il
luminated stove made red shadows on
the hi own rep ensy-chalr In which Miss
Jt'iikltison psconced lu'rself.
"Iieally don't know what to do
about It, Miss Jernha. If I once
thoucht Rich wan Riillty of such Indls
cietlons as yon declare he Is, I do be
lieve I should die I"
Jessie WlntrtiiBhatn winked away n
suspicious brightness from her pretty
curling brown lashes, and looked
eagerly at her guest's sarcastic counte
nance. "I dare say there are a great many
people who would say I. was very ofll
cinus, my ilenr, because I tell you what
I think of that good-looking huibaii'l
of yours. Hut I feel 1 have your In
terest at heait ; nnd If no ono elo has
the courage and charity to point out to
a young wife of half a jear the goings
on of her husband why, my dear Jirs.
Wlntringliain, I'll stand by you, and
take your part."
Her solemn words made little shivers
of vague terror thrill all over Jesli
"I dare say you nre very kind In
deed, Miss Jeruslm, only I can't be
lieve that Rich Ii such a Illit as you say
always paying such exclusive atten
tion to ladles when ho is awaylfrom
homo,"
"You must think just what you
please, my dear. Only, I suppose If
you were to see for yourself, you would
believe tho evidence of yotirown eyes."
Jessie's slightly flushed cheeks be
trayed tho painful Intel est she felt.
" Of course, If 1 were to t-ee "
Mls Jerusha nioso triumphantly.
"Then all you have to do Is to lake
my advice, ant! the next time Mr. Win.
trlnghaui has such very impel tnnt busi
ness to New York, do you go by the
same train, with your wator-pioof ami
n thick veil to dii-gulso on. 1 must go
now, I think, my dear. I'll have to
stop at poor Mis. Delacorn's, and hear
if she has heard from that runaway
daughter of hers. Tlianks for the early
cup of tea you tnadn mi nicely and
don't forget what 1 told you, Mrs. Vu
Irii'tjtiain. And the abominable old gossip went
her way, leaving tho .triows of the dis
trust she had sown rankling painftilly
i l) poor, loving, jrnluus Jessie's h.-ait.
Mie perfectly atlored her hrttiuVmiio
young husband ; and ns alwiiys such
passionate nlltctitiu Is accompanied by
jealousy, this tlierwise sensible little
woman found It no dillicult matter to
eiiteitain the doubts her guest express
ed. Rich was so handsome, so stylish, so
gallant why should rfiit ladles enjoy
Ills attentions? And, silting liy 'lie cozy
flie, wailing until her husband should
come in for his dinner, Jessie nlnir.it
decided to play the spy upon hlmaltl.o
eai Rett moment.
Then, when she heard his latch key
In the door, and IiIj iitiick, lino tit ml
in the hall, and saw his handsome,
cheerful faco as lie took her cheeks In
Ins hands to kiss her, she felt, ashamed
and contused,
"I atu alrald I shall have to hurry,
you dear," ho said linking her arm
through hls.aiid leading the way to the
dining-room, where the bright light
made a g nlal glow on bllvcr, crystal,
nnd snow-white china.
" Hurry me Rich, how?"
" 1 havo to take the seven-thirty
train, very unexpectedly, for the city,
on important business that cannot bo
delayed, I shall bo homo to-morrow
night, I expect. Jessie, will you have
another piece of tho black mt at V"
Mrs. Wliitrlngham toyed with her
chicken, her nppetite entirely destroyed
by the nous iA announced.
"On important business." Yes, that
was what Miss Jeukinson had said.
And the night train, tool It Hashed
hotly acioss Jessie's mind that her hus
band wus going down to the theatre,
and, if what Miss Jerucha had said was
true not alone I
That second decided her ; nnd as Mr.
Wintrlugham arose from the dinner
table, he little knew the thoughts that
were thronging In his pretty little wife's
head.
"Don't be lnneonie, darling, will
you? Or shall i atop 3nd tell Florrlo to
come up to night ?"
Jessie laughed a little forcedly.
"You over anxious fellow! What do.
I want of bister Flonle? I shall not be
lonely at all."
" lirave D'.tlo woman; kiss mo good
night, then, dear I"
Hi was so kind and thoughtful ; and
Jessie's fond, foolish heart almost, mis

"It is downright wicked to distrust
him! but then it is just these elegant,
fiichmtini5 men who are so ajjreeablu
to other women besides tlittir wives at
least, Miss Jerusha says so, and bho's
old enough to k.nowl"
She watched tho ivory Ijands of the
cuckoo clock hastening towaid seven
thirty. "Well I shall do It tills onco, any
bow."
And the wqqtup to tier loom, with
sparkling eyes and glowing cheek's,
"la this seat. engaged, sir?"
It was a low, Bweet voice that ad
dressed Mr, Richmond Wlntringliain,
as the seven thirty -train steamed on
after calling at tho last btatlou before
reacblnt! the Jersey City terminus.
Mr. Wintriiihain arose cuurteously,
1.00
glMicing at the sinnll, grareful figure In
navy-blue waterproof and double vail.
" Take the seat by the winnow,
madam."
She glided In, and Mr. Wlntrlnifhain
sat down beside her, all unconscious of
tho sidelong glanco from a pair of eager
eyes under the veil.
"How handsome he is, nnd lie hasn't
tin' least idea who I anil"
For of coirse It wns Jessie who had
taken the train at tho same station with
Rlek, but had waited until the Inst sta
tion had been reached before she
changed her seat In the car, for tho one
she now occupied.
"1 wonder If he does know niel Of
course he doesn't, only he don't seem
very eager to say anytbing to me."
Then a little Iragrantly perfumed hand
kerchief llultcied nccldeutally (?) to
tho Hour.
Jessie made a deceitful little dive
after It displaying her ditinlly kidded
hand, and lound, neatly cuffed wrist.
Rli'h quickly anticipated her, and
handed the hatidkeicliief quietly tu
her.
"Allow uie, madatn."
"Oh, thank youl I nmsoiTy to trouble
you so muck. I was veiy nwkward."
Jessie's cheeks were blushing furi
ously under her double dark brown
veil.
"I will give him a chance any how,"
she thought.
Rut, Mr. Winti Ingham only bowed
gravely, and maintained a corteous si
lence. The tialn slowed up, and Jessle.with
persistent determination to draw him
into conversation, inailo feint of alarm
that amused herself as sho peered out
ol tho window, then at her set mate.
"What lire wo stopping lor? This
Is'ut a station, oh I Is anything the mat
ter?" Rich smiled this little woman was
such an odd one,
"There Is no need of apprehension,
lailam. We nre eutetlng the tunnel."
"The tunnel I oh, dear, the tunnel!"
Jut Rich did'nt "take" at all. Ho
only settled tially back anil slouched
his seal-skin hot on his forehead, leav
ing his cninpaiiion to Tight tin; Imagi
nary teirorsof the tunnel us best she
might.
The train had come to its final stand
still at the depot, and just as Wiutring
hnm ntoso to leave the car, hi felt toe
timid touch of lingers on oue of ids
coat-sleeves.
"Please pardon me but hut there

"Tho 'St. Julian?'" 1 am going
there myself, madam. If ynu are un

At last I Jessie's cheeks wero as hot
ns (ire now, and her eyes hrlglit as stars
us she walked through tho long depot
nnd feiry-houso ln-sido hor husband.
In the Indies cabin Rich gavehcr a seat,
tlieu left her to join a grotip of gentle
men who wero conversing near the
door, and at too New York dock ho es
corted her to the St. Julian transfer
coach, much ns if she had been u child
In his charge, whom lie was bound to
do his duty by, and yet considered
somewhat of a nuisance. As it happen
ed the couch had other passengers, so
that the hot colr had time to die fiom
out Jessie's lace, although she mental
ly regarded him "a tlailing provoking
fellow I"
"If you please, sir, an answer Is
wanted ?"
One of tho waiters nt the St. Julian
handed n tiny uotelet to Jit. Rich IKin
triugliitm just after that gentleman had
inspected the arrangements of his loom
and was settled down for a hnl.f an
bom's examination of sundry papers lu
his memorandum hook.
"An answer a letter for me oh,
yes, from Ned Hathaway, about the
shares"
his eyes opened widely as he care
lessiy tore it open, to find not u busi
ness communication from Nvd Hatha

graceful, llowlng back hand,.

"So that's the little game, is It ?"
Then ho rapidly wrote an answer
and dls-patched it by ttie man, who
grinned knowingly as lie reetjiv.ed a
tweuty..tlve cent stamp from Jessie's
trembling lingers.
"Now, then, I've caught him this

"And how have you got along. Jot

She blushed a little as sho helped him

"No, not at all. Indeed, I've had
an unusually lino time.
"That's cood. Hod any company 1"
"Yes. Flo nnd her lover wern hero

"If that makes you jealous, what wilt

Jessie watched iilni closely, her eyes
beginning to hint of not far distant
tenrs
"You did ) I dare say I can see It."
He. was smiling, very little as a dU
trustful husband would do.
Jessie slipped a half-sheet of paper
fiom her pocket and gave It to hlin, her
lip trembling, yet half smiling.
Ho opened It carelessly, then looked
at her in amazement.
"Why, what on earth, Jessie I Why,
I wrote this letter "
"Yes, I know yon did oh, Rich I"
She wsb almost crying now, and her
husband was looking so gravely at her.
She pointed to a navy-bluo water-proof
and brown vail lying neioss a chair.
"It was I, Rich I I know it was aw
fully wicked, but but 1 wonted to
know If It was true, you know, and "
Mr. Wiotrlngham knit ids brows,
frowningly. "1 am not suro I under

She laid her hands on lils shoulder,
and looked in his eyes penitently.
'Don't scold.Rich. It was I, and
my little escapade has mado me very
hnppy, for nil I know I was very cruel
to do such n thing. You may punish
mo in any way you please, Rich I"
She said it .neekly, but with such
iovo and pride in her eyes that lie would
have been less than Rich Wintringham
to have censured her.
So lie drew her head down to his
breast and kissed her, while sho prom
ised never to be so foolish again.
A High Old Passenger Condnclor.
A few days ago freight conductor
on one of the railroads went to the Su
perintendent and said ho thought he
ought to he advanced, having served on
the freight for several years. The Su
perintendent agreed with him, and told
him that the change should bo madetho
very next day. And it was made. Tno
Superintendent a day or twnafter took a
seat in the rear end of one of the coaches
so seo how the new conductor would
take to business, and pretty soon tho
olliclal danced into the door, cap on his
ear, sleeves pushed up, and a half-aero
smile on his face.
"Get out your pasteboards!" ho
bhouted, "I am the high mucky muck
that runs this tialn," and then, turn
ing light and left, he continued :
"Right bowers this way play lively
pass or order up bow's trumps with
you slide you right into Chicago hur
ry up there trump this ace what kind
of a hand do you hold, old man ?'
There was .something novel and ex
hilarating In his style, hut yet the su
perintendent called the conductor up
stairs tho next day and told htm that ho
was the best man in America to run n
freight train, nml that he should havo
to piomote hlin backwards. Ho was ton
talented for a passenger conductor.
