But I have it from his Own lips that he hasn't a photograph, or painting, or a picture of any kind of him self In existence.

Mr. Hutchinson e reply was; "When I was a boy I had no time for any foolishness of that sort." Ghlruurn Timna. musical Criticism. Uncle Orrin Stone was the oracle of Frairietown. His opinion was taken as nnal on all topics or village government, school management, or church choirs. He criticised everything for years, in tbe certainty that his word would always be taken as aw, But the time came when the modern spirit of change began to hare Its In fluence on Prairletown. Some of the boys and girls who had been away to school in Indianapolis or Chicago came home with plans and notions whioh Un cle Orrln's disapproval was not permit ted to affect. He gave out his words of praise or blame just the same, although he found more to censure than to com mend In the ways of the young people who had been brought into contact with broader civilization. At last there was a musical festival in Frairietown. The largest hall in the place was decorated with wreatlis and flags, and singers from the city came to take the leading parts in the programme for the great day. A soprano from a city church, one who had been praised by thousands, came to sing the two solos in Rossini's "Carita." Uncle Orrin went, and sat in a front seat, as usual He listened intently, as he did on all occasions, but the. expres sion of his face was not one Of approval, while Miss Appleton's lovely voice tilled thhall with the notes of her exquisite solos. After tbeconcert, his nephew, John Stone, who had sung in the chorus, over took the old gentleman on his way home. "Well.-uncle", what did you think of our conoertT asked John. "A terrible breaking down, wa'iit it?" returned 'Uncle Orrin. "What do you meant" "Why, 'twas just terrible the way you all brpke down (hem ttvo times, and that poor Apploton girl had to go right on singing all by herself.

And he Illu minated his face with a look which an actor might bare envied. "Of course he thinks he can't get me on that, and the ' Italian goes along to some man who knows twice as much, but whose face belies him. On the rare occasions when I do know something, I look like this" he wrinkled his brow Into a slightly puzzled expression "and lie is down on me in an instant.

ALICE'S .VORTUNi "Sister Tlieodbela," sold U feeblo Tolce from tho bed; ' Tho - Sister- of Charity, a mild faced woman of middle ageanswered tho sum mons of the dying man, and approached tho bedside. The dyinfc man -was Hector MorltE, a carpenter, who had fallen from a house which ho was building, a few days bo fore, and so injured Himself that lie could not recover. lie llvwi 'jnut outside the village of St. Barbe, -with his llttlo girt, Allco, now 7 years old. His wlfo had died threes years before, .but JUlce, child as she was, could make coffee and cook an omelet as skillfully as if sho were twice ns old, and had acted as her fa ther's little housekeeper. So it happened that, belnir alone, an unusual affection had sprung up between Ailed and her father. Tho Sister of Charity approached (the bedside. The eiok man's face expressed anxiety, and his oye. tumid from the nurse to his little girl. ,who was pale and grief stricken, yet had self-control enough not to betray her emotion lest it should distress her father in his last moments. "What can I do for you, M. Moritz?" asked Sister Tlieodosia, in a gentle voice, His glance wandered to his little girl once more. "Alice," he gospAd, "provided for.'' "Do you' mean that you wish Alice provided for?" asked the sister, striving to interpret his broken words. "Already provided for money there," and he pointed vaguely downwards. "Poorinant He is wandering in mind," thought the sister for ho was pointing to tho floor; but sho thought it best to appear to have understood him. "Yes," she said gently, "have no anxi ety." Ho looked at her wistfully, and then. seeming to think he was understood, he fell back upon tho pillow from Which he had lifted his. head, and a moment after expired. When Alice realized that -her father was really dead she gave way to excess ive grief so excessive that it soon wore Itself out, leaving her pale and sorrow ful. Sister Tlieodosia took her into her lap and pressed heir head against her bosom in sad c0mpdsaion,'for little Alice was now without father or mother. In due time Hpnior Aloritz was buried, and the next thing to be considered was, how should Alice.be disposed of? Hector Moritz feft .two near relatives, both cousins. Une of these was a thriv ing tradesman in the next town, a man who had prospered, partly through his selfishness, which was excessive. The other, also residing in the next town, was a -poor shoemakor with a large fam ily, who found it hard enough to make both ends-meet, but was, withal, kind and cheerful, beloved by his children, for jvhom lie could do so little, and pop ular In the village, These two cousins met at the funeral of Hector Moritz. "I suppose Hector died poor," said M. l'oncliard, the tradesman, .a little uneas ily. "This house is all ho owned, BO far aa I know," said the notary, "and' it is mortgaged fur nearly its value." "Humph! that is bad for the child," said M. foncharu. "I suppose you will take her home, M. ronchardf ' sold the notary, bluntlv. "We all know that you are a prosperous man." The tradesman drew back. "If I am prosperous," he Bald, "I have had to work for my monoy. It is all can do to provjde for my own family, can't support other people's children." "Then you won't do anything for the dinar "I didn't say that. I'll gfvo her twen-, ty-iive nay, tuty franca. That's all 06eht to do." "And how lohg. will -fifty francs sup port her?" said the notary, disdainfully,1 for he detested the meanness of the rich tradesman. "That Is riot my affair. She need not starve, une can go to the almshouse." "Who ispeaks of the almshouse?" spoke up ai. uortxtt, tne poor shoemaker. ' ' Jl.-Ponchard suggests- that Alice go to mo aitnsnouse, said tne notary. "Not while,! have a home to offer her," saiu tne poor cpusiri warmly. nut, M. L'orbej," said the notary. "you are poor. Can you afford, with your many cinioren, to undertake an additional burdenr' "I never look on them as burdens i they ure my joy and comfort," said M. Corbet. "I can't give Alice a luxurious home, but such as I huve she is 'welcome to. I am sure the good God will not let me starve if-1 undertake tbe care of my nine orpnan cousin. "He's a fooll" thought M. Ponchard contemptuously. "He will always be uuserauiy poor." liut the notary grasped his hand, and emu; "JI. Corbet, I respect you. If you are not rich in money, you are rich In a cood heart, and thut-is the best kind of riches." So, no opposition being made, the llttlo Alice wont home with . the poor,' shoe-. maicer. as tor tbe cottage, that was left lu the hands of the .notary to sell. Aa already intimated, there was a mortgage) upon it to nearly its full value, so that it was not likely to bring much over. What llttlo there should be would, of course, go to Alice, Several months passed without any opportunity to sell the cottage. During that time Alioe remained at the house of JI. Corbet, treated, I was about to say, like one of the family, This,' however, would not be strictly correct. SheTvas not treated like ofieTjf the family, bjif better than one of the faml)yj In shorf , like a favored "guest, for whom nothing But unfortunately at this Juncture. M. Corbet full sick, and having always been compelled to live to thellmlt of his small Income, had nothing saved up for tb rainy uay wnicn aa come upon him, and bo the family wero soon in a sad strait. The notary heard of it and was Btlrred with compassion. "If only .Alice had . something," be said to-Slster Tlieodosia, whom he met Oiie day at a sick bed; for the good Sis tar of Charity spent her time in tending the aick without compensation, "If only Alice liad some small property she might come to the relief of her poor relatjon." "And has she not?" asked Sister Theo dosia. "Nothing that I lyiow of beyond the uausfl, and upon that there Is a mortgage to nearly jtq full, value," ' 'Pii her fuTW upon his deathbed told me that she'was provided for." ' ' "Did be. Indendr asked the notary. surprised, "OW He say uythliig more?" "No. he was unable to; but he pointed to the floor. I am afraid lie wan out of lite head and meant nothing." "Stohl I have an idea, said the no tary suddenly. "Can you leave for a few tninutfca and go with me to the cot tage?" "Yds, I can be spared for half nn hour," said Sister Tlieodosia. Toeethor they went to tho cottaeo, whioh chanced to be oloso by. "Now, -Bald the notary, when thoy wero once inside, "to what part of tho floor did M. Moritz point? Con you re- member?" "Thero," said the sister. "Very well; wo will soon boo whether there is anything in my idea." The notary procured a hatchet, and succeeded after a tlmo in raising n plank of the floor, Sister Tlieodosia looking on meanwhile, with surprise. But her surprise was increased when, on tho plank being raised, a box was dis covered underneath. "Help me lift it," said tho notary. Willi tho aid of the hatchet he removed tho cover of the box, and tho two uttered stf exclamation of surprise when under neath they found a largo collection of gold, coins. On the top was placed .a Bheet of note paper, on which woro writ ten these words, in tho handwriting of the deceased; The gold tn tills box represents the savings of many years. It la for my daughter, Allco. For her soke I hare lived frugally, and I hope It may save her from want when I am kouo. Ilxcron moritz. How much is there?" asked Sister Thcodosia. "There are two hundred nnd fifty napolconBt These mako Ave thousand francs. Truly, M. Moritz must have been frugal to save bo much." "Then little Allco is an heiress," said Sister Tlieodosia. "It is as you Bay." "I am very glad. Now sho can pay her board to that poor M. Corbet, and he will lose nothing by his kindness." 'I will go to-night and tell him." The poor shoemaker was still sick, and his money had wholly given out, so that the family had had no supper. "I nm sorry you are sick, mv friend." said the notary. "Yes, sold the poor shoemaker, filch ing; "It is unfortunate" "I think you were not wiso In taking an additional burden when you had bo many children already." "I am not sorry. Alice is nlwnys wel come to all that we can give her." "Then you aro not sorry you have taken her?" "No; but I nm sorry I fell sick. The poor child has ha'd no supper." "Nor any of you, I suppose?" "Nor any of us." "M. Corbet, you are a good man and truly charitable. But I have good news for you." "uood news? Well, It could nover come at a better-time." "You thought Alice was poor." "And is she not?" "On the contrary, she is an heiress." "What do you mean?" J'Her father left 5,000 francs for her fortune." "Ib that true?" asked the shoemaker and his wife, bewildered. "Yes; and therefore it is only fitting that she should pay her board. How long has she been here?" "Four months." "Seventeen weeks. Now, aa her fath er's executor, I am going to allow you eight francs a week and you shall under take to provide her with a homo and clothing. For seventeen weeks, then, that Blie has been hero I owe you ISO francs. I pay it to you at onco." "But it is too much," said M.Corbet, surveying the gold with stupefaction, for he bad never seen as much before "It is right." "We are saved 1" said his wlfo thank fully, "i win go out and buy souio bread. Children, you shall have some supper." At this there was a shout of joy from the children', and tears of gratitude flowed down the cheeks of the poor shoemaker, who pointed to Alice, nnd said: "She has brought me good fortune.' Before the money was half expended the shoemaker had recovered, and went to work again. The eight francs a week ho' received for Alice proved a great help to him, small as it may seem to my read ers, a6d enabled him to afford more com forts than before. From that time M. Corbet prospered, and was even able to save up money, and all through his unselfish kindness to tho little Alice, through whom ho believes good fortune has come to him and his.

"1 remember ouoo wiien l was driving a boutall car there was a female passenger who rang the bell several times as though it amused her. Each lime I stopped tho car, but no one got out.
