GOING TO THE FAIR. Pittsburg to Be Well Represented at the World's Columbian Fair. A GLANCE AT THE PROSPECTS BeTeals That the Manufacturers of the City Will Be There PEEPARED TO SHOW WHAT WE CAN DO ntOM A STAJT COItBESrOSDENT.l Chicago, Aug. 29. Pennsylvania will be liberally represented at the Columbian Exposition, but the balk of the exhibits come from the eastern enj of the State. The small manufacturers of Philadelphia and the East are well represented. The great manufacturers of Pittsburg aud the West many of them are taking no interest what ever, and from present indications will be snowed under by more enterprising rivals. A visiting Pittsburger the other day put the question to me: "What sort of a figure will Pittsburg cut at the Columbian Expo sition?" I could not answer him because I bad not the slighest idea how those manu facturers who make Pittsburg what it is . vS. - i)'iii')'llHiTmi? sazsll THE rEXXSTXYASTA, ha 1 responded to the invitation to exhibit This afternoon I made some effort to find out and was surprised to learn that while Pittsburg and Western Pcmisyhania will be veil represented, a large number of the leading firms, whose success in business must depend on adver tising and keeping themselves prominently before the public, have not yet made any applications for space. They do not seem to appreciate the advantages to be derived from making an exhibit. Onn Sinn Kept Too Fusy. One verv large manufacturer, when he was asked by a Fair official why this was so, replied that his firm was kept too busy. It was all they could do to keep up with the demands of their patrons. He did not reflect that his failure to exhibit might result in a transter of a part ot his patrons to some other firm that did exhibit. Strancer things have happened. If Pittsburg is to be rep resented anywhere, I thought, it will be in the department ot manufactures, and to the head of that depirtnient, Mr. James Al Uou, I went. "I cannot tell you anything verv definite about Western Pennsylva nia," said he. "Mr. Farquhar, the Execu te e Commissioner at llarrisburg, is the only man who could cive that information. lie recenes applications himself and for wjrds them to us, and we inform him of all implications that we receive, so that he knows better than nnvboJy else how the State is to be represented. I can only say tl at, in this department, we have about 325 applications for space from the State of Penn fj trama, but most of them came from tha e.istcrn end of the State. One reason for that is that other departments take a great dt.il ot hat Pittsburg and Western Penn s Ixntiia have to show. The oil exhibit and the e.ial exhibit will be in the department oi mines and mining. The Carnegie exhibit ruav be in the department of transportation. Tnc machinery exhibit will be in machinery lull. My department is concerned witn n anulrcurcd articles, such as hardware, tools and manufactured iron." lirrDt Dtinaml forSpic-. Mr. Allison went on to say that the demand for space in his department was about lour times as great as the sup ple. "We have about 40 acres ot space for c ii. snr.

WRITTEN FOB THE DISPATCH. BY MARGARET HAYCRAFT. Author of "Amaranth's Garden," "The Golden Doors," &c, &c. "It does seem hard, Annt Grigson, that slie should" have to go out as a lady help. She always had more manners than any other girl at Miss Fenn's school." "As we sow, we reap," remarked the mistress of Heartbbourne Cottage, indus triously plying her knitting needles, "if people will live beyond their means, what ran be expected but poverty for their pros perity, when, in the course of Providence, tl.ey are removed into another world? The Coptnrds were people who would have the best oi everything it made me shudder to see new potatoes and asparagus on their table months before such ideas en tered my head; if Matilda Copford would have forced vegetables and fruit, she has only herself to blame for the result" "Still, auntie, it makes one's heart ache to think oi her now in some institution tor merchants' widows, and Hester, who tiever even made her own bed, to be a sort of gen eral servant at the draper's where she used to deal." "Let it be a warning to yon, Jean," re plies her aunt, severely, "when you have a house of your own to keep your expendi ture ncll within your income, and to do your own marketing, not leaving all to servants, like Matilda Copford. And that reminds me, when Reginald Mellor calls a;ain, we must inquire on what he intends to marry; when be asked my consent an un fortunate earache prevented my entering into pecuniary details, as was my dnty." "Oh, Aunt Grigson, please don't!" cries Jean Arden, coloring. "I have a hundred ayear ot my own, you know." "A hundred a year stuff and nonsense. Pray, how is that to nay butcher, baker, grocer, poulterer, Italian warehouseman, milkman" "Oh, auntie, I have not the least idea, but, you know, we are not to be married yet, and you will teach me the best way of keeping my household accounts you are so clever in everything that concerns house keeping." "To keep accounts, Jean, the first essen tial is uo income, and your hundred a .year will go a very little way towards feeding a hearty roung man like Reginald Mellor. Pray did you notice that he took three helps ot meat at the rectory last Sunday?" "Oh, auntie," cried Jean, dismayed at Miss Orlgson's prosaic discourse concerning her hero, VRex," "as if I should notice what he atet and besides, he has ample . ,-xv .- b:-.-.v j&i mmtMT: . . kfrfm,-?gg MkrnKsMMmfM-liS vJlraw --Mire ' ,&.. JiA f exhibitors, foreign and domes tie, in this department," said he, "and it does not be gin to supply the demand. We had hoped lor relief from the constrnction of another building, which shduld take away part of the goods which come within our "classifica tion, but all such hopes have been dispelled because of the smallness of the Congres sional appropriation, and because there is no more space on the grounds for build ing without spoiling the general effect That is one reason why we have delayed so long the allotment of space to individual exhibitors. We shall now, before very long, undertake this work. In this department we shall try to unify the exhibits as much as possible." That is, to put all the exhibits of each particular class together. Thus, the National Association of Woolen Manufacturers have agreed tq grant the exhibits of woolen goods. So far the upholsterers, the potters and the silk manufacturers; ' and nego tiations are pending with others. By doing that we shall economize space a great deal. The manufacturers in each class will appoint a committee to assist me in determining the amount of space to be allowed to each individual ex hibitor. ' Pennsylvania's machinery Departmrnf. Leaving Mr. Allison I went to Lieutenant Lewis W. Kobinson, Chief of the Depart ment of Machinery, and asked him how Western Pennsvlvania was exhibiting in his buildlntr. "I don't know much about Pennsylvania," he said. "We go by groups and classes and industries. Pennsylvania is a leading State STATE BUILDING. and will be very well represented. Pennsylvania exhibitors would take up one third of the space available in our building for the United States if they were given what they have applied for. The trouble is we have not got space enough to eo around. We have applications for 900,000 square feet, and have only about 220.000 square feet available. The result is that exhibitors must be cut down to one-fourth and one filth of what they ask for. Firms which have applied for from 10,000 to 15,000 square feet may get 2,000 or2,500 square feet We arc sorry to do 'it, but there is no other way out of the difficulty. I do not believe that any of the depart ments have made any allotments ot space. They are all troubled with the same diffi culty, bnt we shall soon have to get at it We shall go over the applications and give most space to those who promise the best exhibits, and some we may reject altogether. The impression is that Pitts burg will not exhibit so liberally as Phila delphia and other parts of the State," con tinued Mr. Kobinson. "We receive far more applications from Philadelphia tban from the western end of the State. Philadelphia, you know, is a great place lor manufactur ing. VPerhaps the Pittsburg exhibitors are as many proportion to their number. Ainongthe Pittsburg Exhibitor. Pulling down a book, Mr. Robinson' called off the following Pittsburg' exhibitors: Jones & Laughlins, the Hatton & Hogg Ironesque Company, D. L & H. Davies, C. L. Goehring, wood carving machinery; John W. Shannon, Westinghouse Machine Company, Westinehouse, Church, Kerr & Co., A. Garrison Foundry Company, John I. Mannion & Co.", (silk making machinery), and the Altoona Manufacturing Company. The .Rowley & Hernance Manufactures Company, of Wil liamsport, (now making machinery) the Harnsburg Foundry and Machine" Com pany and the Stern Manufacturing Com pany, of Erie. "The National Tube Works Company, of McKeesport, have applied lor space," he said, "but we cannot give them what they want and we are uncertain whether they will stick or not" "If we had the space we wonld have the biggest exhibit of machinery the world has ever seen," continued Mr. Kobin means. Is he not having a long holiday just now, enjoving the fishing as long as he likes?" "He may be out of work, and enjoying a holiday through necessity," says Miss Grig son, surveying the heel of the stocking in process ofgrowth, "all we know about him is that he is a friend of the rectory people; and we know they are too hospitable to be as'careful as they mieht be about entertain ing ineligible young men. But, there, my dear Jean, I do not wish to cast a damper upon your youthful brightness; trouble will come upon you soon enough,' and the cares of life will awaken 70U from what now seems a vision of gladness. Get your her-rine-boning and go down the garden to await Mr. Mellor. I suppose he calls to day as usual? I believe Tuesdays and Fri days were the appointed afternnoons?" "Yes, but he has gone to town till Mon day did you forget, aunt?" says Jean, almost reproachfully. "Oh, there is the postman it must be the coal merchant's receipt; shall I set It, aunt?" But the gray-eyed Jean thinks little of the coal merchant as she hurries between the sweetb'riar bushes to receive, as her throbbing heart expects, her first love letter. She tries to take the envelope from the postman coolly and calmly, bat-Jean is scarcely twenty and only a couutry lass she is not very successful in veiling her eagerness. Only a letter from her school friend, Hester Copford! Jean surveys it with blank disappointment, and then" Te members with a pang of shame that Hester's letters have hitherto been, the delight of her life. "My dear child, how very impetuous you have became so like your poor, dear mother, who always aoted on impulse. Who is Johnnie Soames, and who has the efirontery to suggest we should waste six pence on a telegram? Critical illness is the only excuse for telegrams; I have not dis patched one since your poor mother was taken when you were born. I sent for your father then poor David, lie did not linger long after my poor sister." These reminiscence of parents she has never known have usually a deep in terest for Jean, but just now her mind is full of tne'much-loyed guest, to whom the holiday at Heathbourne will be an oasis in the desert of ber"mouotonous life. "Johnnie Soames is one of the children where Hester lives, auntie," she says, eagerly, "and Hester is delicate, you know. The doctor thinks she ought to - iiminiitiiiun iiiiiiiiiitiiwiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnl) feTTSBUBGfttllSPA' son, "bigger -than any . one could contemplate. We cannot accommo date one-fifth of , the exhibits that is, counting those which will come with those we have already,.. At Philadelphia in 1876 they thought thev bad a big thing in the Corliss engine, with 1,400 horse power. That engine, with one or two smaller ones, supplied the power for the whole Centen nial Exhibition. In Machinery Hall we shall have in operation engines aggregating 25,000 horse power. We shall have one en cine of 2,500 tibrse potrer, several of 1,000 horse powerand a large number ranging from 400 to 500 horse power. ' About 11,000 horse power will be required to furnish currents for the incandescent lamps, which will num ber about 110,000; the remainder will be used to furnish current for arc lamps, which will number between 10,000 and 11,000, and to run about 15 lines of shafting in Machin ery Hall." Mr. Kobinson rattled off these fignres with the air of a man who felt very enthu siastic about his work, and as I named over a number of Pittsburg firms, in concluding, which' make a specialty of manufacturing heavy machinery, he saidi "I do not think that any of them had made application for space at alL" Mines and Mining; Blatters. Mr. F. J. "N. Skifl; of the Department of Mines and Mining, said that the oil men of Western Pennsylvania would make a big display, but he was really too "tuckered out" to talk about it now. The mining office is being removed from its present quarters in the Band McNally office building down town out to the Fair grounds and other department offices are to follow. That is the way. the management has taken to economise. The offices oc cupy more tban an entire floor in this great structure, and as the annual rental is about S2 per square foot of space, this savin? will he very considerable it it is attended with no loss. I met Mr. F. J. N. Skifl; Chief of the De partment of Mines and Mining, to-day and asked him about the iron, oil and coal ex-' hibit. "1 cannot cive you the names ot in dividual exhibitors or describe the exhibits which they propose to make," he said. "We have all such information, but it is given to us in confidence and it would not be fair to disclose it I can only say that Pennsylvania will be well represented in my department In the first place there will be a very handsome collection of minerals pnt up under the direc tion of the State Board of .Pennsylvania; the State will occupy a very prominent place in the exhibition of minerals in cam nets. Soma cf the Special Exhibits. We shall exhibit a group showing the varieties of kaolin, graphite, asbestos, crude and in process of manufacture, soapstone and mica. Also nickle ores, lead ores, zine ores and slates ot all varieties. One of the interesting features of the exhibit will be a metallurgical display of the man ufacture of zinc. There will also be a demonstration in the manufacture of pig iron, and of collection of iron ores. There will be . an exhibit showing the evolution of the metallurgy of iron, and In oil production there will be a very elaborate display. We shall have an ex tensive exhibit of the various varieties oi coal and the appliances used in t min ing, and handling it We are going very extensively into the cartography of the State and snail exhibit relief maps showing the location of the coal and oil fields ot the State. We shall also have a very fine exhibit of building stone and cements of Pennsylvania." Oil In its Various Forms. Speaking of the oil exhibit, Mr. Skiff also said: "I have secured a space 150x250 feet outside of the mining building in which to exhibit the machinery and methods employed in prospecting for oil and in producing and conveying it In the building there will "be a very elaborate exhibit of petroleum and its direct end by products. In the space outside the building, I suppose, half a dozen derricks will be erected to illustrate the methods of oil production." When askedVhat form the exhibit of soft coal would take he said: "We shall exhibit the coals of America in the most complete way, of course. Pennsylvania is' the largest producer of coal and will be represented with a most ample display. That exhibit will be made by the State. In the exhibit of natural products I' do not deal with individuals, as I do in the case of machinery and appliances with which they are handled. Mr. Skiff added that some of his best exhibits came from Pittsburg and vicinity, but said that he did not feel at liberty to describe them, even without mentioning names, because busi ness rivals of the exhibitors might catch on and take advantage ot the disclosure.

Auntie, dear, you will let her come to us? I will pay tor the telegram. Do let me send word to her to come at once!" "I suppose we ought to give the child some little change," said Miss Grigson; whose heart is softer than her manners be token, "and she will be company for you now young Mellor has left the place." "Only till Monday, auntie." "Well, here is the sixpence. Mind you do not drop it. Only 12 words, mind, Jean, including the address. And while you are at the postofhee order some skirt ot beef at Metcalfe's for a pie to-morrow. Hester will get no forced asparagus here. I prophesied penury when I dined at her father's 18 year's ago last Lady Day." "She is prettier than ever." thinks old Miss Hobbs, receiving Jean's telegram at the village postoffice. "She always had cheeks like a rose, but therere's something tender-like crept into her eyes, and she's that sweet and gentle I seem to see her bonny mother over again. I Buppose it comes of sweethearting, for they say she's promished to the strange gentleman from London town. I can't say as I thinks he's good enough for her, but then, we'd grudge the lassie even to a prince!" Jean is very busy on her return home, helping their one servant to get ready Hester's room, aud prepare a dainty supper." Despite Miss Grlgson's assurance that Hes ter shall find nothing on her table save what is plain and homely, it is a very tempting repast that awaits the traveler, and as Jean hovers about her to supply her needs, the two girls make a picture pretty enough to bring a smile to the observant spinster's face. Hester Copford is fair haired, tall and graceful, with eves of the darkest shade of blue, and lips that seenr made for' laughing; she is now in some measure recovering from the first great shock of her father's death, and Jean who knows how deep is her affection tor her mo'ther, rather wonders to see her friend's face as bright almost as In the days of prosperity. She is herself a great contrast to Hester, small of stature, with short, wavy, auburn hair, and quieter of demeanor; but there is often an affinity between opposite?, and no friendship is' truer on both sides than theirs. "Now, no" lingering in one another's rooms," says Miss Grigsoc, as the giris kiss good-night, "the rule ofthe honse is quiet after 10:30; you wll have plenty of time to morrow to tell one another all the news." "We will have a lovely walk to-morrow, Hester,'' says Jean, picturing that by the seashore she will tell her friend of the heart-gladness that makes music now on the harp of her life. "Yes," says Hester, "and we must have a long, long talk 1 want to tell you all about the Soames family, yon know, and about my first attempts at cooking, and how I went marketing with the -cook, and learned so much I felt I ought to get married right away, before it went ..out of my head; and then there is something else well, ifivtr mind to-night! I'll look forward to our walk to-morrow." , mm&mm&v&m -)Tfi! A COLUMBUS PAGEANT Suggested as a Proper Adjunct to the Columbus Celebration. MERCHANTS SEIZE DP0N THE IDEA The Chamber of Commerce to Discuss the Matter llondaj, THOUSANDS OP bTKANGEKS EXPECTED There is a movement oh foot among en terprising Pittsburg merchants to commem orate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of North America by Christopher Colum bus. It is suggested that a pageant 'be prepared something after the style of the New Orleans Mardi Gras or the March of .the Veiled Prophet at St. Louis. Whether the event will be held on Octo ber 12 is a question. New York will hold hers on that date .and the Board of Gen eral Managers of the New York exhibit at the Columbian Exposition wrote to the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce early in June to ask a postponement of the local in auguration of the World's Fair. Just why this is wanted the letter failed to state, and no action was taken on it by the Chamber. Superintendent Follansbee says that the matter was not considered of enough im portance to be acted on, and this was the reason why the matter was referred to the Executive Committee. The Chamer ad journed, in June to meet next Monday, when the matter will be taken in hand and something definite done. "The enterprise is not going to be allowed I to die out by any means, "said Mr. Follans- bee, "because the Chamber never lets any : thing die out" Awaiting Mnyor Kennedy's Return. Mayor Gourley, when asked for, some in formation as to what was being done by him, said he was awaiting a reply from Mayor Kennedy. "I wrote him some time since," said Mayor Gourley, "but he is as yet out oi the city, and I have had no an swer. I am anxious to see the celebration be made a success. I am simply waiting to learn his intentions. If he does not reply favorably I shall appoint a committee io make arrangements. All the Pittsburg merchants are in favor of seeing the thing succeed, and are willing to do all in their power to aid the celebration," W. H. Keecb, referring to the proposed Eageant, savs he is "first in hand, heart and ead lor it," or for anything else that will help Pittsburg. "I think it's an elegant, good thing, and I will spend my, money for it as soon as for anything else. Physically and financially you can count me in on it, It will be a good thing to give the country people an opportunity to come to Pittsburg and see uolumnus hauled on a wagon, even if he be made ot either mud, wood or stuffed with sawdnst October is a pretty fair business month with us, and we do a good class of business. Not, of course, to say that we do a better business than in the spring, but customers buy a better class of goods than in April and May. It is a good, clean month with us, being given to house cleaning and refurnishing. The only thing that I see lacking is time; 4ime to get com mittees appointed and take it up. It should oe taken up. of course, in time to prepare and in time to properly advertise it Enterprise of Denver Citizens. "I was in Denver at the conclave a few weeks ago, and I tell you it actually amused me to see how, with such apparent relish, the merchants, restaurateurs and everybody else there just got hold of that crowd and handled it. We need more of that sort of people here in Pittsburg. Too many men sit in their offices and ring in every customer they can get, always grasp ing for thedollars that are in sight The trouble is that they do not do something which will bring more customers within reach and make the dollar easier to get You may put me down every time for any thing at all which will help Pittsbqrg." William Trinkln says that, although such things do not help the wallpaper trade much, he would be exceedingly glad to see the celebration. , Pork and beef do not move in the way they did 30 years ago, bnt Mr. Myers says anything of such a nature as the proposed celebration will be a fine thing anyway. "Our trade, of course, is not likely to be much affected by the day, inasmuch as it is concerned, bnt'the event will be a very good feature. We cannot have too many of such things here." Passenger men give assurance that rates which they will make for the occasion will be such that no room for complaint will be left General Passenger Bassett of the Pittsburg and Western, says that the Pittsburg Pas senger Committee will consider the matter at any time it is presented. "The Pittsburg Exposition opens on the Jean, looking out at the stars, decides she is the happiest girl in all the world, for the friend ot her heart is near by, and each starihine brings closer the hour of bis re turn. Her soul is full of calm, deep thank fulness, as she sinks to sleep, guessing noth ing of the thorns her young feet have to press and the altar of sacrifice to whicn she is called. Miss Grigson has a headache next morning, and a a breakfast in bed is rare enough to be historical with her, Jean feels concerned about her as she carries up the tray. "Oh, auntie, how pale you look!" she ex claims, "do take some tea; it will do you good and then vou must lie down again, and I will darken the room." "Never mind me, Jeanie," says Miss Grigson, who seems in great tronble, "shut the door, and come and read this letter I have had from your Aunt Hams worth by the morning post; my conscience reproaches me for not making more inquiriss about the man your Aunt Hamsworth understands these things so much better than I do." "Aunt Hamsworth is always upsetting one about something or other," thinks Jean, who has .very little in common with Miss Grigson's sister, a fashionable widow devoted to society. She. takes the letter carelessly, not realizing at first that it lias anything to do with the one who is nearest to her heart. "I am astonished, mv dear Sonhia." savs the writer, "that you sfiould consent to our poor Elsie's daughter being thrown away on the first person who chooses to ask for her. Have I not repeatedly urged upon you that in a pastoral, Arcadian sort of way, Jean is not wholly destitute of attrac tions, add the young men of the present day being whimsical, in their ideas, she might have achieved something quite satis factory during a ''London season. L have repeatedly offered, for poor Elsie's sake, to act as her chaperon; but my advice is never taken, and now you have suffered her to become entangled with one of whom you know nothing save that he is' a college friend of the rector's Bon. There is good cause to fear this Reginald Mellor is merely flirting with Jean; a friend of mine, who knows everybody, says she met him at a seaside boarding house last summer, and hishabits of flirtation were quite the theme amid the circle there: he is said to be very sutceptible where ladies are concerned, and his disposition is as fickle as a butterfly's. What sort of a husband is he likely to make for Jean? You had better send her off to me at once, and I will take her futnre in hand and do my best for her." "Aunt, you need not worry yourelf about a letter like this," says J'ean, proudly. "Rex has told me more than once lam his firit loVe, and he has had very little to do with ladles' society; he is no flirt, auntie, dear he is true as gold. You know you trust him in your heart; you liked him from the first. And as for me, I would trust him all my life; and he in the only one in all the world for me, whatever Aunt Hamsworth may say." "Ah, my dear, -what knowledge of charac Ji-v"b i-i. , ? . 7th of October and cIosesTsix weeks later," said he, "and during that time rates will be made for it three times a week.

The railroads are quick to respond, on -any occasion of that kind, and we are glad to make the rates. There is no question bnt what the railroads will do their share." The Pittsburg Passenger Committee will hold a meeting to-day at whloh the matter will probably be discussed. It is expected to have an imposing street pageant in the morning followed by com memorative services in the afternoon with prominent men as speakers.

The drug and cigar stores here did a heavy business to-day in spite of the faot that the proprietors were warned Dy the officers of the Law and Order League last night that they mnst not sell cigars, soda water or candies on Sun day. The bathing houses of James A. Brad ley, the founder of the town, at the foot of Asbury avenue, were open for three hours, and many persons hired his suits and took a dip in the surf. There are two stands on Mr. Bradley's property for the sale of Saratoga spring water, uotn oi tnem did a rusnlne busi ness all day and until late Sunday. Henry Vanghan, Mr. Bradley's beach pavilion janitor, sold the newspapers. The police officers of the town paid no attention to these offenders against the laws, but they quietly watched the stores on property near the beaoh front not owned by Mr. Bradley. After the churches and the Asbury Park auditorium closed the drug stores were crowded with men and women, who drank soda water to their hearts' content Two of the druggists were notified to appear to answer charges of selling liquor contrary to law. The officers tried to serve a warrant on Henry Williams, the Kings- ley street druggist wtiose store was raided several weeks ago. The officers could not find him, and late to-night they were still watching his store, both back and front.

Go now and give Hester her break fast; what an unfortunate-thing to have a visitor In the house while one is so worried! Your Aunt Hamsworth seems quite vexed that I gave my consent." "Nobody ever can satisfy her," says Jean, "and when I marry it will not be to please Aunt Hamsworth. When Rex is here again, Auntie dear, you can have a long talk with him, and you will then be as certain as I am that he is the very soul of truth and honor."

To divert her thoughts she rambles on with lively anecdotes concerning her 'situation, and Jean feels thanklul Hester is with her; the hours will fly till Rex is again in Heathbourne, and Aunt Grigson, looking into his steadfast face, will forego all doubts and misgivings. "Now, Jean," says Hester, as they estab lish themselves later on among the rocks-, "you know we always said we would tell one another whenever we received a pro posal "Yes, but somehow letter-writfng about these things is rather difficult," says Jean, stroking her friend's hand in the gentle tway to which she is addicted. 'Muaeeu it is, ana x get so nine time in write letters! that is the chief reason I wanted to see you, Jeanie what do you think? I really believe I have met my fate!" "You, Hester!" stammers Jean, conscious of the ring in her purse, which is to be presently produced as a surprise. "Yes, and not one of the friends of our sunshiny days, either! I only met him last summer; you know Mrs.' Soames had rheumatism and I had to accompany her to Shingletonn, to a boardinc house kept by a lady she knows. Mrs. Soames was under some special treatment, so I had plenty of time to myself, and one of the gentlemen there became very friendly people culled him a flirt, but I don't believe he is. The dav before we left be asked me if I could ever care about him, and he said he would call and see me in Stonecanton. Mrs. Soames says I shall never hear from-him again, but it would break my heart to think that, Jean! He was so sorry for all our troubles, and he whispered to me that our home-nest would have room for mother." "Am I forsakine my poor Hester because I have Rex as well?" thinks the girl, indig nant against herself "Hester and I have been friends all our lives, and she needs me more than ever now that ironble has come upon her; my life is so rich in love that it ought to overflow to others! I will write a long letter to Hester this evening, " JTKW ADTEKTISEMKNTS. PROTECTION. NO TAMMANY POMPOSITY. Have made' GRANDFATHER'S HAT about the Greatest thing on Earth.

But a few minutes later Jean dances into the sitting room, her lace bright with antic ipation. "Oh, auntie, you will let her come, won't you? Jofinny Soamei has measles, and the doctor says she is better away just now, and they have given her a fortnight's holiday and she says may she come here, and the train gets in at 9 this eveninu we are to telezrapnxtne reply. "Did he give you no address Hester?" 1 "Oh, yes, the Rustic Club in Pall Mall, but of course, I shall not write to him first; it is his place to call on Mrs. Soames, as he promised. " The Rustic Club! Why that is the very address Jean has seen in certain of her lover's papers and letters, forwarded to him at Heathbourne; perhaps through Rex sho may be able to gain some information for Hester, concerning the one whose fidelity she trusts, Dean thinks, a little .too cred ulously. "What was this gentleman like, Hester, dear?" she asks. "I know someone who is a member of that club; he maybe acquainted with your friend." Hester's bright face grows softer as she replies In a low voice, "Oh, Jean, I scarcely know how to describe him; you know my idol was always possessed of jet-black hafr aud whiskers, but Rex is not exactly hand someonly it is such a good sort of face, a winning face and one that can be trusted. What is the matter, Jean? you look so white have we been walking too far tor you?" "No, Hester, only the days get cold now; we must not sit down long," ays Jean, shivering, "so his name is Rex?" "Reginald Mellor, says Hester, linger ing fondly over his name; "he belongs to the Mellors Of Glenshlre, an old, rich fam ily, Mrs. Soames tells me; but I know and care nothing about his money. I have had plenty of flirtations in my time, Jean, too many to please you, my little conscience, but Rex is the only one for whom I have really cared. I wish I had his likeness to show you; he said he would bring me one when he came to Stonecanton he has Bnch splendid eyes, a very dark brown, and brown hair, with almost a golden tint here and there." Jean makes no answer; for her the sun' shine has gone from the sky, the musio out of the sea. In a fhph of consciousness sho realizes her Aunt Bamsworth's letter is true; her Rex is not as she imagined him a kin 2 among men. a hero worthy of a woman's love, chivalrous, tender and true. He is but as the rest one ot those who "love and ride away" just as fickle fancy may prompt; she understands now why his allegiance to Hester has ceased in bis holi- d.tf at Hffltnrinil1nA lha tfaa fXnnrl f...

And all the time you sit silent as a statue do tell me what is the matter, darling; are you anxious about Miss Grigson? do you think we ought to turn bacK now?" "Yes, let bs go home, Hester, I don't think I am quite myself to-day, perhaps auntie's neuralgia is infectious," says Jean, trying to smile; "if I lie down after dinner, perhaps I shall be a livelier companion by-find-by; you might go down to see them at the Rectorr after dinner." "No, indeed; I shall bathe your forehead and look after you, Jeanie," Says Hestsr, fondly; "Mrs. Soames says I am getting quite a clever nurse," and she lavs Jean's hand on her arm as the two go slowly and silently back into Heathbourne through the cornfields. The noon-day post has brought along, tender letter to Jean, from her fiance, but her heart seems hard and cold as she glances down the sheets, and tears them to frag ments in the quiet of her room. How many such letters has he written, how many lov ing expressions has he used, meaningless ai these that fill the pages! And then Jean presses the fragments of paper to her lips crying out within her that she has power to influence her lover's soul, that the truth of her own tenderness can ennoble and uplift ' his life; has she not promsed herself to him, shall she seperate her path from his, be cause of his passing fancy for Hester! She remembers the troubled shadow in Hester's merry eves, as the ?irl anoke of hi ninim -and the glad ring of assurance in her voice as she prophesied his sure coming to Stone canton at last; Hester's is a gray life of drudgery, a life on which trouble has early fallen is Jean to have all life's good things, and js Hester's young heart, to be desolate? 7b oe concluded lo-morrow.
