Ralph's Revelation. A CIIBISTMAS STORY. "I wiih Christmas would not com round to quickly," sighed a pretty young woman w ho sat by a fireside In a very solemn, gloomy lodging house. "So do I, lean assure you," reponded the pretty young woman's husband, a tall, stalwart fellow, who was reclining lazily In an arm chair. "If you think that I enjoy Clulstmas day at tho gov ernor's, knowing that you arc here alone with the boy, you are mistaken . I get as glum and gloomy as possible; in fact, they are always teasing mo now, and declaring that I'm In love, because I'm so quiet. I am quito well aware, however, that I've got the pleas antcst part of the burden to -bear; you must havo a very dull time of it, poor little woman." "I don't like It. I confess," the wife replied, "for many reasons. Of course I should always like to have you with me, to begin with; then, I do not like to remember how you are deceit ing your father, w ho seems so kind and Indulgent to volt. Balph, that I daro say he might not be as angry as you Imagine. It's very uncomfortable for me, too, as re gards appearances, as tho landlady has mado scrcral tcntate remarks, and looked outraged and scandalized when I told her that I was going to dine at home to-morrow, and that you w cro not. She muttered something derogatory to hus bands in the present day. It docs look odd now, doesn't it, for to-morrow will make the third Christmas Day l'vedined at homoalone. However, now that I've got Eddlo to keep moeompany.It's more cheerful." The husband made no reply Immedi ately. He was thinking, as he glauced at bis pretty wife, and remembered how cheerful and uncomplaining she was, how willing to sacrifice herself for him, how devoted nnd attcr.tivo to him stil', even after three years of matrlraony.tha t few men would be content to endure, such a life for tho sake of a woman's love. It was all very well for hint. He went down to his f.uhrr's bank day by day and lounged through a certain small amount of work; he went to his club, and had a cigar and some scandal, and then, if not engaged to tiiiio out, re turned in the evening to ills wife and little child. None of his friends knew that ho was married. They laughed and joked fre quently about lilin, and had long sluco given up attempting to svo him at his own place. As fur ills fatherand moth er, they knew where he llvod that Is, they knew of his chambers In town, one room In Bond street but they know nothing of the quiet lodging where their daughtcr-lu-law was hiding herself and boy, at their son's bidding. Italph Yorkc mused over these points ouo by one, thinking tenderly of his "little woman" who had already borne so much for his sake, and who would be left helpless should he die suddenly with Ids fcecret untold, and at last a slid den resolution arose in his mind. "Eva, darling," he cried, startinu to his feel, "I'll tell the governor." She gasped for breath in her utter sur r. i r a ltd i.e continued gPlto,fl THE GREAT- -, X"fBW Tins finliB' ru ra Live and Let Live." "You see It's no usegolngou like this j year after year, ne will only be nil the more angry when he knows It. And I think I would rather he did cut me off without a shilling than that I should live on In this stylc.I suppose I should always get some friend or another to help me, and I daro Bay I could make enough money to rub along somehow. You ate not extravagant, I am sure." "But, Iialph, dear," pleaded the wife, "don't do It to-morrow. Think how It will srleve your father.and let him have one more Christmas Day In peace and happiness. Don't have a quarrel and bitter words with him to-morrow. Walt n week or So longer, and accustom your self to tho thought of bearing his dis pleasure. Don't be rash about It." "I don't think it can be said that I have been rash about It," laughed linlph, "since I have taken three years to think it over. No, Eva, I won't bo rash; but I'll tell the governor to-morrow morning while my mother's at church, and we'll spend an honest Christmas Day, Rt all events." So it happened that the next morning, just as Mr. Yorke, senior, had Installed himself comfortably in his arm chair to have,pcrhaps,forty winks while his wife was away, nj ho gazed into the fire ho heard his son's knock at the door, and In a moment Italph Yorke entered the room. "You're early, my boy," taid the old gentleman; and Ralph answered, plung ing into the matter at once: "I came early, father, because I have something to tell you." "Eh, what?" cried Mr. Yolke, look; ing keenly at his ton. "Out of money, are you?'1 "Oh, no. that Is not it," murmured Kalph. "Then you must bo In love," said the astute old gentleman. "Well, no," Kalph answered, raising his head, and looking his father full In the face; "It Is not exactly that cither. The Tact is, father, I'm married." "Well, what of it?" was Mr. Yorke's only comment. Iialph stared in utter amazement. Ills father seemed perfectly unmoved. His face betrayed no sign of anger, and he was playing carelessly with his watch chain, as If Italph had been discussing his last dinnerparty. Presently he con tinued : "It Is a folly that other men havo committed before you. There is not much to be said on tho question. Was that all vou bad to tell me?'' "I thought that was enough for one morning' said Ralph, disconsolately. Ho was bitterly disappointed at his father's matter of fact view of-the pro ceeding; lie had hoped to be able to plead with him; to describe, In extenu ating his fault, Eva's beauty and devo tion, and nboibIng love for himself and child; hut there was no need for plead ing now, and Ralph had felt worse off than if ills father had burst Into a tor rent of reproaches. After milling at his moustache restlessly for a few moments he Mid: "Well, father, since you are not sur prised at my first installment, perhaps yon w ill be equally prepared for a second piece of Information." "Yes, I dare say I am," replied Mr. Yorke. "What is it?" "Why, that I havo a boy," murmured Ralph. "Of course, of course," his father re marked. "Thero is nothing astonishing in that, cither. Really, Ralph, your .marvelous news Is very stale." "Stale, father?" gasped Ralph In utter surprise. "Yes, stale," Mr. Yorke replied, look ing abstractedly into the firo as ho ad ded "I have no reason of course to doubt your word, but aro you pure you're married?" "I should not ho likely to make a mistake in the matter," said Ralph, with 6omc pride. "I have been married three years, father." "Have you, indeed?'' observed Mr. Yorkc. "Well, three years is a ions time, and I hope you mado no mistake about your wife. I hopo she was a re spectable kind of a girl. What was she? a shop girl or scrvaut?" "She is as good and noblo a wife as ever breathed," said Ralph angrily, "and I can't hear any Insinuations against her 'respectability.' Good-bye, father," he continued, taking up his bat and buttoning his coat. "I can't stop anu near all this about my little woman, and I'm sure, under the circumstances, joti CMi't want me to -dine with you to-day. I'll go back to Eva. A Merry Christmas to you, father, and my love to mother." And before his father had time to an swer, Ralph had left the room, and in a second the street door had closed upen him. Old 5fr. Yorko sat quietly In his chair, a curious smile upon his face, and when his wife returned from churcli the only remark ho mado was: "My dear, onr boy has told me about his marriage." Ralph felt sorely wounded as he turned Into tho street, and commenced a vigorous walk, lie hardly knew where. ile started offat a briskpace, and strode across Madison Park. By the time Ralph had turned backon his way homoward, be felt as If every twopence ho owed were fourpence to use a humorous Illustration ofdenrcs- tdon. Four o'clock was striking as ha put his key into the door of the lodging house; he could not help remembering how hopeful he had. left It In the morn ing. As he made his way up the stairs to the drawing room iloor thny Inhabit ed he heard voices In Eva's room, An Indistinct sound of a gruff man's voice reached his ear, and ho stormed In amazement. Could any of his friends have discovered hl secret? Had anyone ( of them dared to come and annoy hei? At that thought hn spuns- up thr re-1 $1.00 If uiatnlng'stcps, and flungopen the draw ing room door. Never did he forget the shock of the sight that met his eyes. Eva sat on a sofa beside a lady whom lie had first scarcely recognized, and In his arm chair was ids father, with Eddie on his kneel Ralph Blood In mute astonishment at the door of tho loom; and then Kva came across to him, and putting one gcntla hand on his shoulder, she said, simply; "Ralph, dear, your good father and mother have como to say that they for give us for our long sccrecy.aud wish to bo friends with us, and let us be son nnd daughter to them in every way. You pee, your father loves his grandchild al ready." The tears were In Ralph's eyes by this time, and as ho camn forward wllh out stretched hands to his parents, he ex claimed: "You are Indeed heaping the tradi tional coals of lira upon my head by your goodness. I can only say that I am ashamed of my reticence. I ought to havo known you too well to keep such a secret so long." "Not so very long, afterall, my boy," said Mr. Yorke; "it was not a secret so long." "Well, three years is a fair time! father," said Ralph; "and I can assure you I am ashamed of every day of those three years." "But the secret w as not kept for three years," laughed Mr. Yorke. "I havo known It for a year and a half 1" "You have known it!" cried Eva and Ralph together. "Yes; I have known it for a year and a half," said Mr. Yorkc, triumphantly, and evidently enjoying their perplexity; "and, for the matter of that, so has your mother, Italph." "But how?" cried Italph. "I did not know any one knew of it." "I knew It through yottrself.my boy," said Mr. Yorke. "You sent me a year and a half ago in one of your letters, by accident, I suppose put tho wrong paper in the envelope a letter from from" "From Eva," put In the owner of that name, timidly. "From Eva thank you, my dear " continued Mr. Yorke, with a nod to his daughter-in-law, "a letter which told mo the whole story, nnd told me, also, this present address. Otherwise, how could I havo got here to-day. I was very angry with you at first, Ralph, not angry at your choice as much as at your want of confidence In us, and your want of respect for your wife In keeping the matter secret. But wo got over the anger at last, your mother and I, and then we determined to wait nnd see how long you would be silent. We have walled a great many days and weeks, and months, even, Ralph; hut, thank (iod, the good Instinct camo atlastjand I see before, me, now, I trust, a son without a secret upon his conscience, a daughter without n trouble untold." "Father and mother," said Ralph, earnestly, as he held his young wife's ham! in his, and raised it solemnly, as If taking a vow, "I cannot thank you in a How of words; I can only hope that Eva and I may prove as generous and admirable to our boy as you have been to me." When they had kissed all around. hats and cloaks were put on, and the party drove away in high gleo In the Yorko carriage to the Yorko home.much to the surprise and elation of tho suspi cious landlady, who had been appeased by the splendor of the visitors. "Eva, darling," whispered Ralph to ills wife at dinner, "was not Christmas day tho best day for the revelation?" WHY HE DIDH'r ACOEPI IT. The Chicago Tribune tells a good story about an Illinois gentleman who, while holding a government position wortli 5.3,000 per annum was offered xmc worth 57,000 and refused tho 'plum.' One day ho was met by a friend anil asked why lie did not aceopt the belter place. "I will tell you," said he." When I was in Springfield a few years ago, one beauti ful summer rlay.I went to the Sangamon Hlvertoflsb, for recreation, of course. And I bad goodluck. I caught a nice imic string oi -croppies.- uy and by 1 got a tmo bite. I could see the fish it was a catfish and he was just ready to swallow tho bait. To all intents and purposes he was n.y meat. Just then I noticed a fine pike nosing around among the weeds and grass that were growing up out of the water dose to the shore. If there i3 anything I do like it is having a battle with a pike, They aro so strong and quick, and tax an angler's skill In such a way that it Is a real pleasure to land one after a long struggle. So I pulled my hook away from the catfish that I might say was mine, and dropped It down squarely in front of the nose ol the pike." Here he paused as though his story was ended, "Well, did you land tho pike?" asked the other. "That pike I never got," was the re ply. "Ho sailed away without paying"! me least attention to the halt. I then tried for the catfish. He had also re tired. Worse than that, a confounded gar had happened along and ato up what fish I had already caught. Yes; I am fond of pike, but I hayo never turned up my nosu at a catfish since then." "I think I understand you," said tho friend smiling, "What do you uso now for a hair restorative?" "Same stuff as of old." "All right." Five minute later they wcro helping to pay off the National debt. Mamie A by, Sadie, you havo let your hair grow drk again. Last time I saw you it was a, lovely blonde. Sadie -Yes, dear, but you know I am In mourning now for poor, dear papa.

A Fresno man was describing the grape prospects In that section. "The vineyards are looking fine," lie said, "but people down thero weren't talking much about giapos when I left." "What was the topic of the hour then?" "Swans, sir; Forsyth's swans. Ever": been to Forsyth's place? No; well, It Is a prettty place, everything as nice as can be, and the snuggest little artificial lake you ever saw. Now, Forsvth thought that a pair of swans would set off that lake well, or that lake would set off tho swans. Anyhow, ho bought a pair of beauties, just Imported from Australia, paid $70 for the pair, I think; black swans, and no finer in the coun try, lie put them in the lake, and thought they would feel at home there, Last Wednesday a fellow walked into the Grand Central Hotel, In Fresno, kept by Fult 'Berry. " 'Do you want to buy a fine pair of wild geese?' says lie: 'they're a variety not often seen here. I shot 'cm yester day as they were Hying over the road,' and ho pulled Forsyth's swans out of his sack. He had cut of their heads, but, anynow, I don't think Berry would havo known the difference. Well, Berry gave him a dollar apiece for thcni, and went around tho hotel blowing about the flue dinner ho was going to give that evening. He invited Miller, of tho Republican, to como and eat with him, and write up tho geese. "You never saw such a big pair in your life," says Berry. "I'm having them stuffed with sago nnd onions. I tell you what I don't know about keep ing hotel ain't worth knowing. I pick up everything cood to cat I can get my eyes on, I do." He went on blowing this way, and when the game was put on tho table Berry stuck a knife into one, because. ho decided to carve them himself. It turned to the edge, the breast did, and Berrybcgan to feel sort of uncomfortable. "I guess -they're a little tough," he said, making another slash at them. "They're too big for geese," says Miller, "I bet they're turkey buzzards. What color were they before they were plucked? "Blaek,"savs Berry ;"b!ack as a sloe.' "Then, by heaven, they're Forsyth's ?i0 swans," says Miller. "There'll bo tho duece to pay when Forsyth hears of It. and I guess the jury will bring in Berry ns aiding and abetting the murders," and the Fresno man started to his hotel to write Forsyth about the late oi ms costly pels. LIKE HIS FATHER. The other evening there were several visitors at Col. Gradson's house. The colonel takes great delight In "showing off" his little son, and when tho boy ar pcared at the pailor door the colonel said: "Comein, Henry. Speak lo the ladles and gentlemen. Ah, that's a man."
