The train shot out of eight In the blackness of the night', a pensll of light from thenturion lamp, shimmering npon the wet platform, dimly outlined the Oguro of a yonng girl clad In a water proof. A carriage drove up, with tho curtains closely drawn, and a lond bnt not nnploasant voice called ont' "This way. please." A drive over a rough road brought them to a commodious residence, sur rounded by grounds ample enough for a park. As it was late she was shown at onco to a room Bho arose early tho next morning, nwakened by the brightness of the nt moephere and tho sweet singing of tho birds. She had given her name as Kato (Jon over, and had como to accept tho posi tion of governess in the family. Presently the lady of the honeo knocked and entered the room. Evi dently sbo was much pleased with tho now arrival, for her eyes rested npon a sweet, frank faco, a graceful, compact form and an nttiro as neat as It was sensible. "1 hardly expected to Und you so yormg," Mrs. Cameron said. Nor asked Miss Uonovcr. "still yon will find mo proficient." Oh, to bo Bare," Airs. Cameron hur riedly said "Pleaso walk down to breakfast." The breakfast room reached, tho said: "Hiss Conover Brico Rutherford, my nephow." Tho namo startled tho yonng lady so much that her self possession almost failed her. She bowed in recognition of the introduction, and then turned her attention to the two children who were to be under her charge. During tho moming moal she cast sev eral lartlve glances at unco Kulher- ford, not qulto sure whether ho was tho man who had driven her from tho sta tion or not. De was reticent then he seemed to be reticent now. lie was young, handsomo, refined, with per haps rather an cxaltod opinion or mm self. It was not remarkable that during tho Bummer ho began to take considerable intercut in tho protty Utile govornca. lie was thrown almost daily in her so ciety, and her frankness was especially charming to him, because ho was not much disposed to be frank himself. His interest at last assumed a mora fervent shape, and finally led him to make a declaration of love. A look of triumph crossed her face but it cucaped his notice, for she was seated In the shadow. "This Isn't unexpected," she replied, "but" Brico Uuthorford frowned at tho re mark and waited for her to conclude it. "You see. you don't know anything about tne, she saki, starting in afresh. "Oh, but 1 flatter myself I do," was his reply. "1 never act without proper consideration. "I mean as to my ray antocendenta," Jdlss Uonover said. "As to my my purposes "I don't care ubour your antecedents," ho interrupted. "And as for your pur poses, 1 hopoonoof them will bo to make mo as nappy as you can! ' "Oh, to be suro," replied sho. "Well, I am glad that wo understand each other, and "But 1 don't know that we do," inter rupted sho, in turn. "1 know that you proposed to me, but 1 cannot recall that I accepted you." "OhP ho ejaculated, with a creet- fauen look. ilisa Conover laughed softly and said, "I am willing to hold your offer under advisement. "That will not satisfy me," ho re plied. "But it must," rejoined she, "i think I am according you a great deal." "Well, maybe you are," ho said, with a grimaoe "1 can t say that I m ex cessively grateful." "I'll give yon my answer in Septem ber, Alias Conover replied " 1 hat tsn i far off, you know." "Well, no, it isn't," assented he, and that closed tho conversation. In the early part of September busi ness took hint into tho city, and ho was absent a week. When ho returned to his aunt's oonutry seat he found that the pretty little governess was no longer there, ilo was almost dumf ounded, "Where is she?" ho asked. "I don't know," replied Mrs. Cameron Among her friends, no doubt. "She ia coining backf ' "No, much to my regret and tho dis appointment of the children." Brico Uutherford stared at the carpet "Did she leave a message for me?" he asked. "A letter, at least," replied Mrs. Cam eron. "1 notice that there is one on her bureau directed to you." lie hurried up stairs in u manner not in keeping with ms habitual dignity When he opened the envelope be was surprised to find one of his own letters is it, although he hail never written to her. A look of consternation spread over hit face ae he read it. In his boyhood ho bad ha1 a little sweetheart, named Uose Ualston. I twos stipulated between the parents of both that the two should be married when they were old enough. lie was sent to ecnooi on tne lonnnent, where lie staid until be had attained his majority, lie then wrote home de clining to renew the attachment of his boyhood, or to carry out the stipulations. Indeed, so emphatic was Iu, that one or two sentences were unkind, becanse un called for e stared at the letter in a dased way. "How did Miss Coaover get liohl of ItT be asked himself. "And what was her object in redirecting it to me? She prom ised to give me her decision" He broke the line of Ida thought with a sharp exclamation. "I've solved the mystery," he muttered 'Kate uonover Is Hon Ralston. She a little flirt, and fancies that she's got even with me. II closed his uonjeutures with au ex nresslon which was near profanity. "Aunt Radial," he said, when be had rejoined hit aunt, "do yon know that Hiss Conover it Hot Raurtonr "Iuipomiblef" eaolaimad Miss Cant erou.

"Why should she mnaqaerade anywherer My dear ty, l oan t anawer that," Hra. Cameron mid. "lain not convinced that the did." Well, it doeen't matter uiuoh, any how," Rutherford rejoined, which was a bold faleehood, for he knew that it mat tered a good deal to him. A year later found Kate Conover standing in a grovo in the Yellowstone park. She was looking down a long vista of c banning scenery, her face bronzed, her form plump nnd the blue her eyes deeper and sweeter than ever. She heard footsteps behind her, nnd on turning around beheld a handsome, sun browned tourist.

In these days of factory made linens it is especially essential that the goods should bo carefully laundered. Tho fiber of linen is easily crocked when It Is In n frozen state, and for this reason it U much wiser to dry it in the henso dur ing tho cold weather. Old fashioned linen such as our great-grandmothers wovo could be easily bung outdoors in winter and allowed to bleach in the frost as well as in the dew; but when the fiber has been weakened by the uso of bleachers it is impossible that it should wear like the ohl time linens.

"But if 1 reach Finnoe in safety, sub duo the factions, take command of the army and carry out my plans for the na tion's good, I sliall win the blessings of our fellow countrymen. "I will not be tuken by an English vessel. If we encounter one we will fight as long as possible, and when the enemy begins to board us wo must sink the ship." This deenersto plan was received In silence and with evident disapproval, ex cept by Gnspard Monge, who said, when it appeared that no one else was going to speak: lea, general, you liare stated the situation exactly. It what yon snggest happens we must sink the ship," I was waiting fur this proof of friend ship, and I charge you with executing the plan," replied Napoleon.

There is an old npple woman who does business on a Wall street corner who de serves a medal for one of the best natured dispositions in this town. Tho other day a coal wagon, ono of the big ones drawn by three horses hitched abreast, drove up to her corner and slowly and olnmsi ly backed np against the curb. Then tho driver swung his horses around so as to give another team a chance to get through tho street. Hound camo the heavy animals, not with very much speed, but with a momentum wbich proved disastrous to the proprietress of tho stand and her goods. Down she went, while a goal share of her apples went tumbling after her. Luckily she was not much hurt, but as she reclined on the pavement she saw one of the horses add Insult to Injury by opening a vast month and closing It npon tho biggest applo on the stand. Then np rose the old wpman in hot haste. But not to seek vengeance. Instead, sho picked up two more apples and hospit ably handed them to tho two animals which hadn't helped themselves. And what Is more, she looked as if she hadn't a grievanco against anybody In the world. Hew York Times. Ono Way to Fix Up nn Old ltooui.

Tho late P. T. Barnnm, being n pro nounced joker, turned also his witty faculty to use. When he told the Adiron dack landlord, with great solemnity, that ho hesitated to find fault with anything about tho hotel when so much was agree able, he was urged by tho landlord by all means ti bo frank and do ro. "Well," said Itanium, "it is only ono thing; I have discovered with regret that your pepper is half peas." Tho landlord de clared it could not be; but, on being as sured that Bornutn knew pepper as well as ginger, ho wrote a caustic letter to hli grocers about sending him snch stuff. They, knowing doubtless who the real complainant was, wrote back that if he would epeli "pepper he would find half of it composed of p's, and that that which they sold bail only the amount the orthography required.

More modem botaoUta have classed it at a species of mushroom, but it can scarcely be termed such. .To lie exact, the trnfflo is a tuberculous fungus, a sort of morbid extravasation of vege table sngara analogous to oak balls or nut galls, and doubtless originating, as those latter, by the sting of an insect. Washington Letter. Lege-ads or the Waa4avln2 Jew. The old Jewish story is that Car taphilos, the bookkeeper ot the Judg ment hall under the employ of Pontius Pilate, struck our Lord as he was led from Use hall, saying: "Go faster! Get on!" Jeans turned to hiui and said, "I go, but you tarry until I come again.". Curved though ho was he afterward be came a Christian and was baptised. In tradition he still lives, falling into a pro tracted trance every thirty years. Another legend tells us that Jesus, al most overcome by tbe weight of the crott as he was carrying it to the plaee of execution, bt.-ppud before the shop of a cobbler, and rested his hand against the wall ot the building. This enraged the cobbler, whose name was Ahaauerua, to inch an extent that he threw a last at the Man of Sorrows, crying to him: "Get off I Away with yea!" .Tosue rebuked him. auvrtru!, "I go and go quickly; but ooxonusnd thee to wander over the earth until the judgment day." This last ktreud is the one given by Panl vou BHneu, bishop of ck-hleswig, in the year 1MT. A third legend sayt that Ahaauerua had been dotailod to bring Jesiu into the judgment hall of Pilate, and that he was rushing our Lord along at a swift nit when Jesus cosnplalrwl of wean mm and requested to tit down on a stone by tbe wayside. This request was refused by the heartiest wretch, who ex- claimed ' "Move on, Jos as, more on! Thou shalt not rest.

First of all ho called for a long plank. Ono was brought from the bog, and carefully placed eotno three or four feet nbovo the man below, and between hun and tho sand face, nnd across the snnd bank. Then he ordered planks to bo bawod tomo five feet long, and thoso to bo placed upright ineido the horizontal plank nnd facing in and toward tho bank and a man to hold each plank steady aud to stand to it It another slido camo.

Tho whnlo structure was then braced at each end by joist and plank, and servod oa a rude sort of shield. Then, with the) mon holding the planks, tho othors tried to dig tho man out. His left foot nnd lower trunk seemed held as in a vise. A . -----ra shovelful of sand taken out seemed in stantly replaced by the sand sifting down from tho hill.
