Pacing up and down tho narrow lirrtlU Of her room, ha sho had paced for more than an hour) Agnes Cnrcw tried to rcalizo the how futufo which to-day had cuddcnly opened before her its Unfamiliar vista. Her wholo life, for the past six years, had been swayed by oho arribitiott. To-doy . at twenty years of age, slio had renounced it, for Hugh Loring had asked her to become his wife. this wihter was to tldVd Marked lief cteiul Oh tho operatic slagoi It lldd been tho raidant, glimmering light iildralnatihg the toilsome path up which sho had so labor iously struggled, in making artistically per fect the glorious voico with whicli naturo bad ordained her. Her efforts had bccrl crowned with raM success. Already rumors of her prowess were whispered abroad, but all this was bo foro Hugh Doritig's Wooing, and to-day bIio had given him her ptotniso to become his wife. It had not been without n struggle ; but her mother, glad, proud, and nmbilious, said, "Was she mad, to hesitate"" and her voice turned the scale. She had hardly time to le.irn to love him, so impetuous had been his wooing; and yet to-day, wondering if her decision had been the right one, tho memory of his brown eyes lighting up as they rested on her face, tho echo of his words seemed to thrill her heart and fill it with peace. A week later only a week her lover came td her, his hnnusomo face white and drnwh with pain. There had been a sudden crisis in tho commercial world, and his vast fortune had been swept away in tho malestrom of nliUi As Agnes listened to tho story, the pallor on his cheek reflected itself on hers. "I shall have to begin tho world over again, my darling,1' ho said. "Agnes, do you love me well enough to begin it with me, or will you wait?" "I would only hamper your cflorls, Hugh," sho answered. "Let mo do as I had at first intended. I know now, by the sud den hopo within me, how near my heart my life's dream has been. Let mo liVolt for a littlo while. Then, when you ore ready fur me, I will give it up and como back to you." So, spite of hs protestations, it was de cided; Tho ambition Agnes had renounced, sprang hydra-headed into her existence. Could it be that sho did riot shard Itugh's disaprtolrttmehtf Ah, if so, the night of her debut swept it all away the night when sho saw the publls at her feet, when slid eafrlcd them with hi!, lip Itlto the very realms of heaven, with the clear, fluto-liko tones; only to bo called back to earth, on its dying echoes, by the thundering waves of applause that followed. Ah, could 6ho havo given this up? Even to givo back Hugh bis fortune, and to share his proud name, could sho havo renounced this life? In sixmortlhs, a brilliant offer came to her to go abroad. Hugh wrote to her, as follows i "I dare not ask you to renounce it, As yet I can offer you so little. But, oh, my love, If you will but stay," Agnes answeied : "I cannot, Hugh. Forgive, mo dear, but I havo faced poverty all my life. I should only brj wretched and mako you so. Let mo ii uij iTiugsn mug lungerj iuen,wuen I am weary, I will fly homo to tho host you will bo all this timo building for me." Strong man though Hugh Loring was, two bilteri blinding tears fell on the little sheet which held these words. The news which came td hits' after this, of her continued triumphs, was hateful to bun. Her letters wero filled with her pre sent life. Of the past and future, sho said nothing. 'She never loved met" ha groaned bit- ttfly, to himself. And just when this thought had taker! root,nnd sprung up a tiny plant, requiring constant nourishment, lest it might die, fate brought Conetanco Duyard across his path. bo was a girl possessed of subtle, intense sympathy. To all the world Hugh kept his wound a secret. How oi when she dis covered it he could not tell, but she bared it so tenderly to the light that for Iho tlrsl time her touch did not further hurt it. Little by little so gradually that he was unconcious of ll--lt began to hcali until, one year from tho time Agnes' went abroad, he found it cured. But how could ho pay the debt he owed his physician ? how, save by giving her the heart she had So' richly earned ? Yet he was bound in honor to another He bad not meant to love Constance Day- anl. That he could be untrue to Agnes, so entirely had her image engrossod him,nevcr for a moment Crossed the korieon of hit mlnd,until, toolato to check tho evil, ho dis covered her star had set or been eclipsed by another. Conslaneo had been to him a friend, sister. Ho had not thought (o lovo her' but her tender womanliness first had healed the wounds, and, with tho cure, wrought forgetfulness of tho cause. Twice ho had wrilten in this lime to Ag' nes, thus i "Tho nest is ready builded. Writo me that I may como for you" And always she hod answered i "Walt,' Ah, bad not the old ties become hateful to her, too ? Would she, too, not be gald to strike off tho fetters? It must be so, he reasoned with himfclf. Ho would .write to her all the truth, and ask her to give both their freedom'. But ho found tlie task he had set himself difficult to acompltsh. Sheet after sheet be had filled and destfByfcd'. A sudden rrjsolil. lion camo to him. Hd would go to her, SCO her face to face, and llius learn ho need never feel any lingering fcprdach as to his action. "1 am going abroad," ho said" Id Con- stonco, meaning to add no more. But at tho eight of tho quick tear" Welling up In tho blUo eyes, his strength failed him. lie 6looped and, for tho first timo ho drew tho girl into his arms, as ho kissed tho glit tering drops away. "God grant I may como b&k with the right to taty, 'Ihrae are thtt last tears you shall ever shed for mol'" ho whispered, low, into her carj then left her With tho memory ot iho rainbow of happiness his words had brought, upon tho sweet, young race. And how fared it Willi Agnes f Sho was al Jiltatt. Tho old triumphs Wet her hero which had followed her through every capi tal of Europe. Her year's engagement hod almost expired. On her tabla lay tho con tract, invltlni' her to renew it on vet more flattering terms, and on her bureau lay the last letter received from Hugh. Would hei for tho third lime, ask her to retUrrl to lilm? She broke tho seal and read tt through, with A shado of disappointment passing over tho beautiful face. On that score It said nothing. At that toonicnt tt Servant ohtefed tho oom. "A gentleman below to sco mademoiselle." "But I said I Would sco no one. It is late, and I nm tired." "Ho bade mo hand mademoiselle this.1' And with tho words, tho mart put into her band a card bearing tho name ot Hug"h Lorihgi Bho started to lier feet Vf itli a little err of joy. He had not written. This timrj ho would inako euro; ho had como for her. And she? In this moment all her doubts fled. Sho loved him. Sho had tired of her life it had failed to satisfy. Her heart was groat- el than her ambition. Her wings were very tired. Thank God, they need fly no longer I "Show tho eontlcmah Up," slid mUrmured, and sank bacli paie and trembling to await him. For n moment they stood face to face, si lence between Ihem ; then Blirj held out ono strlall qUIvering hand. "I anl very glad to see you, Hugh," she colds "It was very good in you to come." Ho stooped then, and kissed her oh the brow. "I Saw toU to-night at tho opera," hd began. "I reached hero too lato to find you at tho hoteh Agnes, what d grand success your life has been." Sho smiled a weary smile in answer, and he continued I "Do you ktlow what has brought me, Agnes? Ah, do not start I I realized long since tho' Impossibility of my feeblo efforts making you happy. To-night I saw that it had been raadncssi" "Hugh I" "Do not interrupt me," ho went on. "And do not bo afraid of hurting me, dear. It was n mistako mi both our parts. I can even thank you for it Mow. Tell me tho truth, Agnes. Bay you aro glad to find courago to break tho bohds thai havo grown irksomo to Us both." "TotMioiA; Ho did not nolieo how whito grew llio beautiful lips,nor that sho framed tho words as a question. "Yes, to us both I" ho continued. "You oro wedded to your art and art life, and I tiioUgli I shall never love quite as I loved you, Agnes have found at least happiness; so that you need not let my haunting ghost accuso you. And yoU will be glad, will you not, to learn of my happiness when it is as sured to me ? I only wanted to make sure that things were with you as I had fancied them." And you are sure quite sure no? sho faltered, a little skeleton of a smilo breaking dveh the gray palcncs of her faco "01 coUfsd I anl sUrcj Agnes. For sir months I have felt as a coward to hold you to :dUr word. But you look tired. Good night, dear; You havo made md a very happy matt 18-nlght, by giving mo tlie as surance that you would be as glad ns I to break a false tie. Wo will bo friends, Agnes, will we hot?" "Always I" sho found strength to answer. Then the door closed and she was alono alone with tho builded nest, which all this weary year had gladdened her eyes ly ing in fragments on tho ground hlohe to knorf that she has sowed and so must reap. In tho gray dawn, her cold, trembling fingers affixed her signature to tho contract lying upon her table. Strange to eati tho first niclit sho eahir Uu iis now agreement was Hugh Lorin's wedding-night and tho handsomo gift Constance Bayard received came from across tho ocean, and bore upon it tho card of Ag' nes Carew. But no doubt ever crossed the bridegroom's mind. An Athlete Lifting; n ITIan and Some astounding feats aro being performed by a French athlete, Joignery by uame,who is at present fulfilling an engagement in the BCrllH Vaudeville Theatre, to crowded houses. Tossing about hugo cannon balls with sportive grace, this person appears nightly on a raised platform in the body of a theatre, above which platform is suspended an ordinary trapeze. His ankles are then fastened to tho trapeze, so that he swings head downward a few feet above the surface of the central stage, and in full view of every one in the house. A horse, covered with gay trappings and begirt with a broad leathern surcihglc', to Which two strong loops are attached, is then conveyed to the stage, and there mounted by a full grown man. When all these preliminaries have been ef fected Joighery seizes tho loops is both hands, and by sheer muscular strength lifts tho "horso and rider" some inches off the stage', sustaining their combined weight In tho air for several seconds, and letting them down again as slowly and evenly as ho had raised them. Arf old darkey who peddlosclams about Town was heard to remark last week that ft horso for which he hail paid 75 cents had dropped dead iu the shafts on the day after tho purchase, and ho wound up by saying i "I'sdone now, and buys no more cheap bouses, l'a gwlno to havo a good hots rex' j time if I have to go to Railway and pay ii I for him." W13AIIIM I'ANTAI.OOIVS. A curious slory comes from western Khw York. Itt i870 a yoUng man named free man rented a farm near Wcllsville, Alleg heny county. Ho hai Worked on different farms In that part of tho Stale, enjoyed an cxool'cnt reputation, and was known as "Handsomo Billy." Being unmarried, ho hired rt widow of middlo ago who lived In the neighborhood to superintend his house hold affalrsi A nephew of this woman as sisted FrcclHah with tho farm-work. In the summer Of 1877 several burglaries' wero committed in tho county. Among others a store Was robbed, and tho goods were traced to Freeman's barn find found hidden there Freeman was arrested and charged with be ing concerned itt the burglary Ho declared that ho was Innocent, and few jteoplo who knew him believed him to begUlliyi By thetlmohiscasowasrcady for trial, id Oclo bona Bpedy acquittal of Freeman was expect ed, as circumstances pointed strongly toother persons as tho criminals. But, to tho sur prise of the comniunild, When Freeman was arraigned for trial ho pleaded guilty to both counts of the Indictment, burglary and lar ceny. Ho broke down ontirely in making tho plea, and begged tho court to bo lenient with him. Ho was sentenced to eighteen months' Imprisonment id tho Bno county penitentiary, and Was pdtld Work polishing buckles among a lot of hardened criminals. Tho warden of tho prison was given no tice by Governor Robinson in March, 1878, that a petition had been mado for the par don of the prisoner William Freeman, and requested a report on tho physical condition of tho convict, as is customary when a par don is to bo considered. Dr. Sinnock tho prison physletnUi proceeded to mako tho ne cessary examination oTl'Vemati,aild,in a few minutes, reported to tho warden With the astonishing intelligence that tho ddnVict Was a woman. Tho prisoner was removed at onco to the women's quarters. Sho begged that her case should not bo made publicum! told tho following story: Her name, sho said. Was Mary Ann Schalcr and she was twen-ty-threo years old. Ilo parents Were tier man emigrants, and sho was born on the ocean. H:r fatherdicd soon after arriving in America, and her mother married again and removed to Allegheny county; When sho was eleven years old het step-father told her ho cduld not support her any longer, And that sho must go away and cam her own living. Sho Worked as it servant in farmdioUses Ibr a few months; When she determined to disguise herself as a boy in or dcr that sho could find hioro remunerative employ mcnti No ono but her mother knew of her intention. Sho went to a distant part of tht) eodnty for about two years, did farm- work, and worked ontt season on tho Brio Canal. Sho then returned to lilti Vicinity of her homo, where no one rceogtllfcd hen Under tho namo of William Freeman she Worked Irt tho Vicinity for several years without awakening any suspicion that sho was not a man. Sho joined tho Metho dist Church in 1875, and for several years longed to assurao her truo character, but tho wearing of men's clothing had become second bdtltrri Id her, and sho was ashamed to mako the change. In regard to tho crimo for which sho was arrested, and to which Bho pleaded guilty, sho declared that she was entirely innocent. Tho nephew Bftha woman who was her housekeeper had com mitted tho burglary and secreted tho goods in tho barn, and declared to her whilo sho was in jail that unless she entered a plea of guilty sho never would reach homo alive. Sho beliovcd tho nephew was a man who would not pauso at any crime, and to save her life she pleaded guilty. When dressed in womeri's clothing Mary Schalcr became a fine-looking woman, but awkward from long us of male atliro and masculine labor. She was pardoned in tho fall of 1878, and returned to Bradford, Pa., and obtained employment in a Clicks store, Under her real name, in projier attire. Tlie nephew whose threats had made hor a con vict, o Hd led to the discovery of her secret, escaped punishment by leaving tho BUttci In spring of 1878 tho merchant iH whose store tho burglary was committed disposed of business and went to Limestone, Cattarau gus county, N. Y. His business called him frequently to Bradford. Ho was a German and a friend of the man for whom Mary Ann Schalcr worked. Ho met the young woman at thd store!; liked her, and asked her to marry him. Bhe accepted him, and last week they became man and wifoi ITnclo Johnny tit church. When good Gov. 8 , who is a most devoted Episcopalian; was the Chief Magis trate of Kentucky, ho waj wont to frequent ly entertain the members of the General Assembly at the Governor's Mansion. To one of these levees came, with the member from his county, an old mountaineer who had just reached Frankfort with tho raft of logs which ho had brought dorr n the Ken tucky IUver. The old man who was called familiarly "tfnclo johhny'" soon became the center of an admiring group, to whom hie jean clothes were not at all an Improper attire for the Governor's levee; and his tongue bclbg loosed by' tt glass of sherry Wine, which he then tasted for the first timo in his life, ho was entertaining his auditors with stories from his country, when tho Governor approached. "Undo Johnny, hero is tho Governor," said one of the company; and straight-way tho old man was silent, for he Was over whelmed by the first vision of tho majesty of the Commonwealth. "Go OH With your slory, Uncle Johnny," said some one; "the Governor will like to hear it," "Yes, go on, Uncle Johnny," said the Governor, wilh a kindly smilo of encourage ment; and the old man, thus convinced that even the Governor was also a man, conclud ed his narrative. Then, becoming bolder, he ventured to address to Governor; saying "Guvnor, I went to your meeting yistidy, and 1 seen whar you sets." He had been to tho Episcopal church and had been shown tho Governor's pew. "Did you, Undo Johnny?" responded Governor 8 , "And how did you like it?"
