THE SHADOW OF HERSELF.
Down to the orchard spring she came.
Many a golden yenrngo:
The inornlns skies were all aflKiiie,
The gnarled old apple-trees ahlow;
Tlioy pelted her ltli rosy snow,
The willful, wild, mischievous elf t
As, stooping to the dimpling jwol,
Nhc laughed to see, nnild the cool
flrecn rucdi, the Imago ot herself.
Tar off Ibc homestead orchards lays
The grasses curled wlttl summer heat,
As down die crowded city-way,
Stunned with the noises of the stieet,
.She came, with tired, unwilling feet.
"The toll and moll for fame and pelf
Have dulled tbo rose of youth, nbisl"
She sighed, as In a neighboring filnn
She saw the specter of herself.
Tim winter skies ara bleak and gray:
A tang of frost Is In the tilr j
And there are hints of snow to-day
Amid the darkness of her hair;
And her young hopes and fancies fair
Aro laid on some forgotten shelf.
And through a mist she seems to ga?e
At this dim ghost of other thus.
The fading shadow of herself.
Where are the laughing starry eves,
The dimpled bloom, the glillsh?
Than Time's a deeper etching hc
Upon tho sad, Impassive face.
So lay the picture on the shelf:
The palo estray no one will mlis,
Smee there are brighter things than thin
t old shadow of her by gone self I
ASISTER'S SACRIFICE.
I1Y OiriNKVKM-:.
" H'cll, dearie, you're home at last, and
there's no need to ask It things went smooth
ly, for I know what that bright face and
bonny smile means. But you must be tired ;
take off your bonnet and sit down here at
once."
All the'whlle.she was talking, Mrs. Dean
bustled about the cozy room arranging her
mistress' luncheon, and now she came and
took tho pretty straw bonnet and cashmere
shawl from her companion's hand and
pushed her gently toward tho table.
"Oh, you aro always so thoughtful," said
Violet llengarde, with a sweet smile.
"Well, I am hungry: wo had a long rehear
sal, and It Is now two hours past noon.
But I am quite elated my Hermonle will
be quite a success, Mrs. Dean, and Mr.
Lacy has promised to giyeine the principal
role In tho noxt production. If I make a
hit my future Is assured."
And the young actress clasped her hands
and raised her blue eyes rapturously.
bhe was yery pretty, with a certain charm
that was not dependent npon the pure tints
of her face nor small, regular features; it
was a charm of expression, and a plained
woman with Violet Iletigaiilc's mobile lips
and changeful eyes would si ill he very beau-!
tiful and alliactlve.
She was twenty-four, perhaps; but her
slender figure' retained Its girlish propor
tions, and her waving chestnut hair colled
low in the neck, and slmplo stylo of dress
lent her a youthful appearance.
She finished her luncheon and looked al
tin; clock with an anxious eye.
'Almost time for Nella," she said.
"That is why 1 am so happy, dear Mrs.
Uean. This meeting after months of ab
sence is wortli more to me than a dozen
successes upon the stage."
"Dear, dear, how she does love her sis
ter, to be sure," thought Mrs. Dean-
Though I don't know what she'll do with
her here, a wild miss just from boarding
school. Perhaps she'll take up the stage,
too,"
Hut Violet had her own plans regarding
both her sister and herself of which the
oilier woman never dreamed.
Yes, she was very glad of her public suc
cess-very glad; but It did not matter so
much now, for within a year she wonld
leave the profession and settle down In tier
own home.
"A sober, staid matron," she thought,
laughingly. "But what a model couple Lei
Iioy and I will be! and Nclla shall makoj
her homo with us. Ah! sheltered by his
love, I shall never regret that I sacrificed
my chance ot becoming a popular actress
a dovoted wife will be the role, then; and
If I succeed, what more could I ask?"
In this strain her thoughts went on as
she donned a pretty costume of fawn
colored cloth, and pinned a bunch of vio
lets on her breast.
Fifteen minutes later, she was whirling
over the streets in a coupe that halted bo
fore the Central Depot, where Violet
sprung out and hastened to the waiting-
room.
She knew the train had arrived; without
doubt Nella was growing impatient; but to
her great surprise her sister was not
to bo found.
In vain she looked at evertgroup aud
In overy corner no sparkling face smiled
at her, no saucy voice called out a greet
ing; and after questioning the officials, she
returned to her coupe and was driving
home.
There were tears of disappointment in
her blue eyes; her face looked serious, for
she feared some calamity had befallen her
idol; hut on tho threshold of her little par
lor f he stood transfixed.
The door was partly opened, and there,
In the centre of the room, sat a radiant
figure In heliotrope, with a broad hat
uuslied back from the smiling face, and
pretty, jeweled hands shaping a bouquet of
Perle roses!
Before her, in au attitude of earnestness,
sat a doubly handsome man, Le Hoy Serle.
hy was It that a sharp pang rent the
heart of tho actress as she watched? Why
did a dark cloud seem to fall upon thr sum
of her joy?
"Nellal" she said reproachfully.
The little figure sprung up, and the next
Instant the sisters were In each other's
arms.
"Now, don't scold," said Kella plain
tlvely, while she put on an Irreslstable look
of pleading. "I was so tired waiting there
in that stuffy room! I thought I could find
you, but I got lost. Yes, I did, and Mr.
Serle found tun didn't you?"
And the cast a flashing glance at the
young man. Violet looked at her longingly
oh, how bcautltul she had grown!
Her features were not unlike her sister's,
and, while she lacked Violet's chief charm
she was much lovelier.
Her eyes were dark as the heart of
pausy. What matter that the expressions
were only those of a gay, f nndovlhg dispo
sition?
Her mouth was small and perfect, meant
only for smiles and kisses, and her hair a
rich golden, likened only to corn-silk when
the sun has just touched It.
"I ara so glad you found her, Le Boy,"
said Violet. "But how you frightened me,
Nclla."
"Ah, I was frightened myself," cried
the joupg girl. "Mr. Serlo calmed my
ruffled spirit with these lovely roses. Isn't
he kind? But how selfish I am I"
She drew out two buds and fastened one
In Violet's hair; then, stopping before Lo
Hoy, took tho lapel of his coat between her
dainty thumb and forefinger, raising her
eyes demurely.
Where did she learn those little tricks of
hianner? She was a school girl no longer.
but a bewitching little coquette.
A premonition of coming evil fell upon
Violet for the first time she regretted her
lost youth, for how old and sober she
seemed beside this brilliant creature -and
Lo Boy admired Nclla.
I his admiration grew Into something
stronger as the days went by. Violet knew
It, and she knew, too, that her sister was
not wholly blameless. She could not help
being gay and bowltchlng, but when she
read Lo Boy Scrlc's heart In his oycs.whcn
she knew her power was drawing him to
her, why did she not quietly withdraw and
turn her attention elsewhere? No. such
was not Nclla Bcngarde's way.
she had first tried her own power, de
lighted with tho result, but It grow to bo a
serious thing with her afterward.
Violet catno home front the theatre one
day ere she was expected. As she stepped
lightly Into the parlor, she heard sobs Is
suing from behind the curtains of the al
cove, and thcn'Lc Boy's voice, pained and
pleading.
"For God's sake, Nclla, don't you un
man me! I cannot comfort you. I must
do my duty, and that duty Is to he true to
my promise."
"And you will marry Violet, and 1 I
will be alone," sobbed Nalla. "Oh, why
must I b so miserable? She would not be
your wife if she knew that your loycd
me."
'Ilush. Nclla she shall not know.
She Is too good "
But you don't care how I suffer. Vio
let has her art halt her heart Is glyen to
that she would turn to that and iorgct,
she Is cold. But I Oh, Le Boy, I
will kill myself I'll die of despair!"
''My darling, you will break my heart!"
I'hen the pale listener knew that the man
sho loved had clasped her sister to his
heart.
With a noiseless step, and face as white
as it would bo In her coflin, Violet went to
her own room.
There were no cries, no tears, but with
dry, burning eyes and set Hps, the actress
sat thero and thought thought till her
brain reeled, and her senses seemed desert
ing her.
"They love each other and I stand In
their way I" was the burden of her
thoughts. "And shall 1 make their lives
inlscrablo? Yet If I marry him and scud
Nclla away, ho will forget her In time. I
will win his heart, and she will form new
ties. Oh I my love! I cannot give you tin."
Then sho recalled Nella's words.
"She has her art, but I I will die of
despair."
Not a thought of blame for her sister,
only uity.
"Perhaps after all It was not meant that
I should turn aside from the path I chose
five years ago," reflected Violet sadly.
Shall I give hlin up to her, and go my
way alone oh, Heaven but this Is'Iiltler!''
How long she sat there sho did not know.
At last she rose, brushed her hair and
bathed her eyes.
Then she went, to the desk and wrote to
her manager, Mr. Lacy.
"Dear Mtt. Lacy. I have reconsidered
your offer and will accept the title role of
Oyrubelinc. Make arrangements to suit
yourself. Vior.KT Bbnoaiihk."
Then she weut down stairs, where she
found her lover alas! her lover no longer!
alone In the parlor.
"I shall have to make my arrangements
for a departure," she said, after a while.
"I am going to play Cymbellne."
Lo Hoy gave her a quick glance.
"Jl'hy, Violet, I do not understand.
Your engagement ends next month, does
It not?"
Her heart was like Ice, but she smiled
up in his face.
"I I cannot give up this chance, Le-
Boy," she murmured.
"Violet, I believe you care more for your
art than for me," be said reproachfully,
Oh, bitter mockery! Well.'for the miser
able wonan that she was an adept at dissim
ulation. She looked thoughtfully away aud
then turned her blue syes calinlv uuou his
face.
'I find I am more attached to It than
I ever Imagined," she said steadily. "1
cannot give it up."
He took her hand and looked at her
gravely.
"Do you realize what that means?" he
asked, with pale lips. "My wife must not
belong to the public hut to me. And you
are willing to do this will yon make yonr
choice?"
"It is made, Le Hoy," she answered. "I
shall remain an actress. I believe It Is my
vocation."
So tho fiat was given and Le Hoy, happy
despite his disappointment, never knew
what a sacrifice had been made; he only
thought that Nclla had spoken truly when
she said that Violet was cold. He never
knew that such loye as Violet Benitardo'a
was rare, and that he lost a priceless treas
ure when he turned from her to Nclla with
the brilliant face and selfish heart.
Two months later, In a distant city, Vio
let stood behind the scenes of the theatre
wheie, as Cymbellne, she had scored a won
derful success, ami read a telegram from
her sister:
"Our congratulations I am going abroad
with my husband. H'e will see you next
auutmn. Nklla."
The woman uttered a lonir4igh, the jew
tied hand holding tho crushed paper fell
heavily to her side, and so she stood like a
beautiful statue draped with silken, vest
ments aud bung with jewels.
A voico roused her, she started, passed
her hatid over her forehead, and then tho
woman was lost tu the actress. No oue
looked upon that brlliaut visiou that uow
dawned upon-them beyond the footlights
could guess that tbe robes of Cytnberllne
were worn by a woman for whom loe was
oyer and hope was ded. Surely, Violet
Beogarde was a true actress.

A citizen of slow step and melancholy

Detroit, recently, and said ha would like to
make a report.
"On what?" queried the Sergeant.
un a matter which happened at my
house an hour ago."
"Very well."
"I had a loaded revolver liiug on a shelf
In tho closet," continued the man. "Got
that down?"
"Yes."
"Jy wlfo's mother, who has been liv
ing with us for a year past, went into the
closet to look after something."
"Ah! She did? I seel"
"And In pawing around on the shelf she
knocked the revolver to the floor."
"Just like a woman? It was exploded,
of course?"
"Yes, sir."
"And the bullet entered her leg?"
"No, sir."
"Hor anklo?"
"No, sir."
"Went Into her foot then?"
"No, sir; It never touched her at all.
"It didn't? Well, .that's very queer,
ll'bal did you want to report about It?"
"Why, that it never touched her. I can't
understand It."
The Sergeant laid down his pen aud
looked at the man a long time. Then ho
rose and took him by the arm and walked
him out doors and headed him down the
street.
'Can't help It," said the man as he
bultoccd his coat. "That bullet never
touched her, and I can walk her down
here to provo It!"
What Becomes of Old Barbers.
"I noycr see an old barber, and what be
comes of thom all? A customer In a Third
aventto barber shop suokc thus the other
day to tho artist who was lathering him.
"Keep beer shops!" replied the barber as
ho grasped his bone. "You sco a man gets
played out In this business, and you can't
see ten gray-halred men behind the chairs
in all the barber shops lit New York,
There's au ex-barber keeps the p1a:e on the
corner across where you ace tbe foaming
mug, and lots of them are doing the same
thing. A man's hand gets shaky liko in
this business before his hair turns gray.
Sometimes it's from drink, but oftcucr it's
from nervousness that catches on to a man
by working In such little shops days aud
nights and half a' Sundays. It looks flue
to sco us sittlug rottud, but that Isn't al'
our work. A bather naturally sets up a
beer shop wbeu he's knocked out, for
bathers get to ho sociable with their ctts
mcrs, aud that's the kind of training for a
beer shop keeper. There's one gray halrud
barber working dowu town, and that's I lie

"Well," said the questioned man, "is it
one of Kobcrt Louis Stevenson's stories, In
which the plot turns on one remarkable
fact. Dr. Jckyll Is a reputable and respect
able man, and highly esteemer' by all his
friends. When, however, he takes a crtau
drug.he becomes a totally different man,
loses his good Impulses, becomes yiclous
and"
"Yes, 1 think I can tell what the stuff
Is, It's affected mo that way."
"This Inclination becomes stronger aud
stronger to use the drug, and he indulges
more and more "
"Just as I do precisely."
"Tho effects, however, became more and
more lasting, and he finds It more, and more
difficult lo become Dr. Jekyll and easier to
be Mr. Hyde. Finally "
"0. that's not an uncommon story at all.;
I could have written It myself. They are
Jokylls and Hydcs, plenty of them In Nash
ville. Tell Stevenson to trot out some
thing novel, something unusual."
