SILAS SOMEM'S SUCCESS HOW HIS INDUSTRY RESULTED IN A RAPID ADVANCE IN WAGES. I never lag behind In my pursuit of tne nimme anuemsivcuoiiar mil l think of Silas Somerby, nml straightway push on refreshed. In tho hope that it may encoitrago some fellow-toiler. I will briefly set down tho story of his great success. lie began his business life In the cm ploy of his father. In whoso establish ment he still remains, universally looke l up to and honored by nil whoso position In tho houso Is Inferior to his own. It was arranged tn tho beginning that he was to llvo at home, and that ho was to receive ti salary of $10 a week, half of which was to be deducted in payment of his hoard. His father designed thus not only to give his son a good start, but to mediate at the ery outset sound prin ciples 01 economy, ana 10 accustom His offspring to tho now almost absolute practico of laying asido a certain fixed jicrcentjio of his Income to meet living expenses. The son repaid tho father's kindness with earnest effort, and at the end of six months he was one day summoned Into his progenitor's private olllec, and thus addressed: "Silas, I have observed with great pleasure your diligent attention to busi ness, and have decided to raise your sal ary In practical recognition of your In creased value. After to-day you will draw $15 n week, instead of S10. as here tofore. And, by the way," tho father added, as Silas turned to go, "as your living win now oe, naturally, upon an increased scale of expenditure more In keening with your augmented Income, 1 shall hereafterdeductSlOa week,lnstead of $5. for your board." Killed with a gratitude too deep for expression, Silas left the paternal pres ence'resolved to deserve his kindness nr perhh. lie redoubled his efforts, nnd In 1 six short months more lie again stood ! one day, by particular request, before his father, who said with a broad smile of satisfaction draped about I1I9 benevo lent countenance: ' ' " "My boy, you are exceeding' my foiul cst anticipations. Such endeavor as yours shall not go unrewarded. I have tlecl led to raise your salary for the se cond time. Twenty-five dollars Is tho flguro of the future, uud may Cod bless you." , ' Here the old man paused; and In a voice trembling with genuine emotion Silas htuminen-d forth his thanks. As he was leaving the room his father added, without raising his head from some pa pern over which ho was busied: -' , "Oh, Silas, one thing more, -I wa$ about to add that this change In your circumstances will 1irko a great differ ence in vour mode of life. You will cat hnore, drink more, tu fuct, lead, u broader and fuller life in every respect. I shall, ; therefore, charge you tjao a-week fori board after this date. Cood' morning." In the next slxrmonths Silas surpassed himself, and boomed things to a perfect-1 !y phenomenal extent. Ho was not, con- sequently, wholly taken by surprise when he found on. his desk one morning a noto In his father's familiar hand. Hastily .n!iriinp n,ui viin nnv.iimui .trim iinmiv t.. . . .i ,....... trembling with insurable anticipation, ne lean no lunui.o. --ni.'-au cu.i -1 cannot cjjij-ris jo vyu 0UG fill RE 1 I ctjacobs QJI my deep satisfaction In jour wonderful pro gress, nor shnll I try.

Your nllcctlonnlc FATUKn. Tho Inclosure bore In tho lower- right hand corner the flowing signature .of the senior Somerby, and In the upiior left tho symbol $, followed by tho flguro 5. In an ecstasy of irratltude Silas nrcssed the letter to his lips. As ho did so ho observed the leccnd "Turn over 't rl.. scurely placed lu tho lower corner, nnd .UJ.Ul.lli5 1113.1 UIWU113 11U I lows: as fol 1. S. Vour pecuniary circumstances arc now such that you will no longer feci the need of economizing. AMirlelyot mild extrava gances, hitherto lnado Inaccessible by limita tion or Income, arc now w ithin your grasp. You will feel like branching out in inauy. di rections. Men In-your circumstances smoke flltccn-ccul cigars, and drink wine upon oc casions. Their board sometimes costs them as much as $43 a week. Yours will cost you precisely that amount." . Stimulated by thfeseJ practical nroofs of parental pride, fillas fairly humped uimscii, so 10 spcaK, during 111c next year, and, despite tho distracting Influ ence of a largo Income, attended more strictly than ever to business. One day toward the end of the year he received a summons from his father, whom he found standing before the Are In his private oillce. Judge of his sttrprlsc wiicn uio good olu man, laying Ills hand affectionately upon his son's shoul der, said: "Silas, my boy, you have been doing nobly, I have lohg intended to inore sub stantially reward your efforts' than bv mere words of praise, and I have dccld- eit to let mat reward come tn the form of a ralso of salary. I am aware that a salary of $100 a week will place vou In society to which your poor old fathtr can nanny aspire, it will Jjcyour proud privilege to give suppers and to assist In booming the hack interests of this great metropolis. I, alas! on account Of de ficiencies of early training and education, and lack of funds, cannot tread these flowery paths with you; but the father is content to live again 111 the son, and to enjoy his triumphs In n back seat. I can scarcely hone," he continued, his voice trembling slightly, nnd a big tear roiling uown ins cnecic, "to Keep yon at homo with us tinv lonccr. Your new life will bo at variance with our slmplo ways. You will, no doubt, feel like go ing 10 one ot mo principal notcis, anil perhaps, pay as much as $1)5 a week for board, we cannot compete at home with tho croekcrvwaro nnd silver thev will give you there to cat, nor with tho mamioui uiscomtorls ol tne ulacc: but. my boy, wo can give yougood,wholcsomi! iooci, piaituy served, ami a Hearty wel come at the same price, and, by heaven, wn wllll" And they did. And somebftdy1 still has a nlaco at their fireside, dcsnlto' his altered circumstances. Happy in their son s success, me om ioiks never mur mur, but put up with' his late hours and altered way .of life "with a self-denying piticnco mat is rare inuecu.. the; cousins;: 1 He had got himself Into a ecrarie.and. manlike, had 110 definite Idea how he was to get out of It. Last winter, in a flush of enthusiasm, no nan rcwarueu -mss -iow oray's serapiv lc smiles by an offer of his hand and for tune, and she had accepted the prlre with alshow Qf tenderness that was.por. feet In its way. The marriage, In all human probabili ties, would have been consummated, had not the grim hand of Kuto beckoned the unfortunate Con up to a little village on a fishing excursion ostensibly, but; tn re ality, to fall In love with pretty, little .uura jjiair. Ho met her at a village gathering,: and It being a fixed principle of his to attach himself to the prettiest girl In tho room, he adhered to his purpose with a rigidity which would have been extremely amusing, nan iwioi so soon necome seri ous, for, after two or three meetings, Master Con was fairly Infatuated. For a week the dream was bright and unuisiurucu. Then Con began to feel uncomfor table. With tho prospect of being married to one uirl In a month ho was har.llvdls. honorable enough to propose the same course wun anoiner. Hut bclns neither vcrv clever nor or Iginal, ho couldn't see the slightest loop- uoie; so ne iingeien on at uor.i s side, and she, poor child! was happy, even In the uncertainty. Of course people talked as they always do Uilk, and some more daring than tho rest encompassed Con, and looked im utterablc thing as they spoke of. Dora's parentage. "Lives with her father and mother? Oh, yes; hut then they don't happen to bo her father and mother. She Is their daughter's daughter, und as to who was her father well, we don't know, and the lllalrs take care to give us no In formation. Then Con was angry. Ho was just young enough to be Quixotic, and, of course, he wanted to marry her; to Like his little star-faced angel to himself; to transplant his little field daisy to n more luxuriant soil. Ho went up to see her with n letter irom .uiss Mowumy in 111s pocket ana an ominously guilty feeling about his heart. I'rctty Dora, sat with her white face upraised, and her wondrous hair falling around her like a glorious golden cloud. "I thought vou would, eome." she said, slyly, tho color faintly flushing her iair ciiccks, ann men, mougn mature hadn't made him so, Con' felt more ut terly foolish than ever. "As If I could stay away," he ans wered, half reproachfully. "At least, until I have to, for I'm going away In a day or two." Her eyes wandered down the road and she leaned more heavily than ever against the garden gate. , .' "Oh! are you?" very faint and trem ulous. "Yes, hut I'll come back again If any one wants me." She stole one quick glance at Iilm from under her downcast lids. "Do you want me, Dora? Will I come back to you?" Jfo answer came froni the ar(cl llp, but I he knew she wanted, for, leaning over tho garden gate, he .answered her silence by saving: i. . j . "Very well, dear. I'll be back In a very little while, and you'll be waiting for me, won't you?" It was not very definite to say tho least of It. Con went homo tliat night estatlcally but guiltily happy. And when he reached liome hn found a letter awaiting him. . . A letter from his mother, tho dowager Mrs. Crelghton, demanding lisj instant , return. "(Jcrtnide s very Ul,'' she said, "and certainly your nlaoo should be besUe the i lady who in four weeks will become I your wife. I liavo heard, brtt totally1 disbelieve, a rumor of sumo girl whose a.w-it.. ... n.. ... a. .............. '.I iiivv., iui,v.imi,ui,ii.i:.i.-ii vuiii uiiciiuoua. it might havo troublod me, had I .not ' 1 &UUW11 iiut 1 couiu trust your dignity! i - j . .-rs o vmgOT?a family, and your honor as being en gaged to Gertrude Jfowbray." Coil crushed the letter in Ida lintnl. nnd tried to stare circumstances In tho face, but Circumstances bnlllrd him. nnd in a state of teml-lorturc. he retired to his drcnm-disturbi'd rourh Tlo,uext morning he returned to I.on uon. Silss Srohbray was much better when ue rcacneu Home. Mrs. Crcltrhton I'leptncl him with illir. nllled pleasure, nnd ioor Con felt as ut trely mean and dishonorable as his most lnveterato enemy could havo desired. "Mr. Crelghton, I would like to sjieak v.1111 you jor n monient, piease." Con was walking down tjie strand considering how he could break off his engagement, when the .words struck his ear. Con turned with a start,, and encoun tered his lawyer, Arthur Cray. . "Certainly. Mr. Cray! What's the uusincss now?" "Iiathernn unpleasant business, I am sorry to say, sir. Hut you will step Into my olllec where I can fully explain." So, Con followed him In, and waited to hear what the unpleasant business wns. "You are aware, sir. that vour biti uncle, from whom you inherited your luriunc, uieu uucsiate. or 1 sliount say, was thought to havo died Intestate, whereupon you were his heir-at-law. A few days since, however, wo inado what to you must prove a painful discover)', namely, tho certificate of his marriage, and a half drawn up will, in which he bequeathed all ho posscssed.to his unac knowledged wife, or her children, should sho havo arty." "After diligent Inquiries wo havo dis covered that tho late Mrs. Crelghton died In giving birth to a child, but the child Is still living, so I must inform you that you arc " "Penniless," finished Con, gloomily, but with deliberation. "Xot quite, Mr. Crelghton. Your father left you 2000, which is tome thing. Your cousin arrived to-dav, I believe." l'oor Con he managed to get out w 1th out disgracefully showing his feelings, for It's no joke to find one's self sudden ly precipitated from the pinnacle of a lnllHonalreshlp." "-Well, after all, there's 0110 comfort," ho said, 'returning to his soliloquy, -ucrcruue -uowuray won't want me now, so I'll give her warning. Dora will tako me, rich or poor, and I hope I'll not bo su:h a coward to shirk the labor of a man." His meditations brought him In front of the Mowbray mansion". FIVe minutes after ho was sitting In the daintiest of boudoirs. Gertrude he- fore him In the lnostrechcrclio of French morning robes. "You look dreadfully tired, Con. Have you been walking far?" "Not particularly far, but I've had bad news, and, as .1 ccneral tlibur. that Is more harrassing than the mere effort 01 wanting. "Why, what news have you had? .Nothing Very serious, I hope," "Oh, not" tit all; only that I've lost every penny of the fortune my uncle left me:" '"lie noticed, with great satisfaction. that 'her' fair face crew verv white, nnd .that'sjie instantly put on an indescrib able cxpresslon'dt withdrawal. ' "Los,,eiVi' -V", no! How?" ! "Oh, -in a romantic way, of toufsc. It seems that my supposed bachelor uncle,. wrovjn reality, a Uenedict, but, as hlsmifrriago was in secret, and the girl waftja country lass, nobodv knew anythlng.sabout It; so ho told her the ceremony was false, nnd left her. She mod, Heartbroken, but left an heir or an heiress. I don't know which. This child takes the silver spoon out of my mouth, and I, as you see, am ruined. Of course, Gertie, I came to you first to releaso you, If you wished, from our en gagement. Heared as you havo been, I could not expect you to marry a poor man, and, Indeed, I fear that in my cnangcu circumstances 1 could be no tit husband for you." Then Miss Mowbrav showed that, clrl as she was, she was equal to the occas ion. "I can rcadllv nercelve. Mr. Oolfhtniv that It Is your wish that our engagement snouiu cna, ana, Knowing mat, 1 snould bo the last ono to oppose your inclina tions. As regards your loss, I sympath ize with you sincerely, but 1 cannot fall to rejolco that It happened before I awoke to the fate of an unloved wife." So, for the last time, Con went down the steps, saying to himself: "At any rate, I still have 2,000 and Dora!" ' Ho walked nlom;. fcelini his snlrlts considerably lighter, his troubled con science comparatively at rest. Hut just i:s lie reached his mother's residence ...ray once more encountered him. "Ah! Hero you are again; the very fellow 1 want. Your cousin has nrrived and is anxious to sec you. Could you go to her at once? She is with some rel atives at the hotel." Con turned on him, a sulky expression wreathing his handsome face. "Look here, Gray; Isn't It enough for a fellow to be left penniless, without making him play lackey to the girl that's cot his money? As yyu'ro so desiicrate ly Interested, you can tell my cousin that 1 am very much engaged to-day, and can't go to her. If she wishes to see my mother, 1 presume she can find her."

Hut Con did feci badly as he passed through his mother's door, and strode Impatiently down the halls that were theirs no longer. Ho was ascending the stairs wheu the servant called: "I forgot to give you this note, Mr. Crelghton. It was left here about five minutes ago." Con took it up and glanced carelessly at it, a dainty little envelope whose deli cate address he did not recomlie, broke i,!iu 0L.11 uiiu refill; 'Miss i Ireli'htnu'a iMmnllmAnl. in Ar- Crelghton, ami desires his immediate presence."

He began to realize It then, but still you can imagine that ho felt rather awkward. "And so my little Dora Is the heiress?" he began by way of prelude, but she In terrupted him. "No, Con, I'm not. 1 don't want the money, nor grandpa nor grandma don't want It. V,a were happy before, and wo can be happy again If " And then she stopped, tho violet eyes drooped, and Con was himself again as he stooped toward her saying: "Very well, darling; but 1 must tako you, too, for security." Three months after the security was paid, and the golden link of tho mar riage tie riveted the agreement for ever, while with smiling serenity Mrs. Crelgh ton, senior, looked on, entirely forget ting her old advocacy of Gertrude Mow bray, and her old aversion to tho little country girl whose pretty faco had at tracted Con's attention. IT WAS K0T THE MONSTER. Over in the Xorthwestcrn depot last evening three young ladles with loud laughs entered the rear car of a suburb an train and took seats near the back door. Presently a young man entered, tipped his hat gayly, nnd began conver sation with them. One of the girls In formed him that the brakeman at the forward platform had been "real mean" to them insisting that they should show their tickets, and that when they final ly did show them he scrowied ferocious ly upon them. "lie did, eh?" replied the youth, In a voice husky with emotion. "I will fix him. You just stay here, and If you hear groans In a minute, just rest e"asy with the knowledge- that I'm grinding him to jiowder. I'll lick the bark clean off of him" "Oli, please don't," they screamed in chorus; "please don't! You'll do some thing dreadful. Let him alone. Don't hurt him. He don't know any better." They were tugging at htm trying to hold him, and he was pulling himself away frantically. ' "Let mo go." he exclaimed. "The brakeman who Insults you must lick mo or get llekc.1. That's all there Is to that. Let me go now. r won't be too hard on him." Just then tho brakeman himself, who had entered the carrat.tho back door nnd been a patient listener to all that had been said, Lipped the young man on the shoulder'and Inquired: .,(Was you looking forame? It you was don't Iet"anythlngjrevcatyoufrom finding me. I'm right here now, or I'll bo here on the siding at Evanstown in thirty minutes from now. If it's all the same to you I'd prefer the latter place, becauso I'd have more room and three minuses mora time." The young mm's jaw dropped, and turning to the Udlei he said: "This is not tho monster, Is it, girls?" and they anxious to prevci t a murder, replied to gether, "No, Indeed." That seemed to settle It, but the young man did not spe.ik again for three-quarters of an hour. VEEV QUICK W0HK. "Talk of yourquick work," remarked a Colorado man, "I onco knew a man to clear twenty feet of land." "That's nothing; he ought to have cleared that much In a half a day." "Half a day? He did it in less than a second." "How was that?" "The Sheriff was after him and ho cleared it at a bound." A DAKOTA BOARD OF TBADE. A member of the Cleveland Hoard of Trade, who was In Dakota last fall, hap pened in a town on the line of a railroad, which only had one wheat elevator. In a conversation with the owner of the elevator, ho inquired: "Who makes tho price on wheat here?" "Our Hoard of Trade," was the re ply. "So you have a Board of Trade, eh?" "WeJl, a good enough one for such a town as this." "How many members?'' "Only two myself and elcrk; I'm the bear and he's the hull, nod between us the market is kept pretty lively."' "Hut suppose the farmer tlocsn t want to sell at your figures?" "That never happens, lleing as we arc the Hoard of Trade, and own the only elevator, and being as he is head over heels in debt, and must have mon ey, the market may be quoted as steady." A GRAND DEED. "Did you ever accomplish anything in your life that might be called grand or noble some action that would dls tlugulsh you from your fellow men arid to which you can now look back with nleasurablo emotions?" was the rather clumsy questiou put by a visitor to a state-prison convict. The poor convict mused for a moment and then replied: "Yea, I have. I once did a grand deed that gave me distinction of a cer tain sort, but," he added bitterly, "I cannot say that I look back upon It with any plcasurcable emotions." "I am very sorry," returned the vis itor, who was a good roan, "that you cannot find pleasure in Its contempla tion. It might afford you blessed con solation in this your hour of trial and darkness.
