After the hurst of npphiuso that mnrked the timclusiun of the nililress of Creener. tile (M'lclil'Uti'd SeuialNt, lie fut i' the Twenty-tirst Century flub, tin' c-vinliiK alter the Hluiiiiiiing party, word was lii'otight to him that a liuly in the nuilieiiee eleslri d Home pl'iittii'nl :id vlic Anil presently he was howitiK ln, lii'fure .limed Andrews. "I wits nmeh interested by your talk, Mr. tlreeiii-r." she liegan. "ami vvuulil like to- lay u spee-lllc raff before you, In ennfi'leiieo, for utlvice." "You may rely upon my respecting the fonliilenee." said (livelier, who took life seriwusly ami was rather ponder ous In speech. "i have a friend." said Janet, "who wishes to lieiiueaih lvr fortune to some practical work, Put she iinds it dilti fult 1o select It. Could you advise her'.'" "Your friend," said (Ire-oner, with rieairi-ir emphasis, "is (piile like oth er. She wishes to enjoy, throughout a life which may lie lonir. that which Is not hers, and nfterwards to (ling some portion of it into tho e-ulf of misery, that paupers may scramble for II. Your friend might aid the Cause. Iiut of course she will not do that. In nny case, I could not advise any of those mischievous forms of activity known n-t charity. If she does not wish to uNI In regenerative work, she would do nmeh better to keep her money nnd buy pearls and pug dugs. Petti r that, bad as It is, than seek to make a class itiiil then ruin it." "I might have known I'd Ret nothing practical from him," thought Janet, us she turned away, her cheeks Hushing lit the rebuff she had received, "but Pm getting ik'Spcrme enough for uny thlng." And this must. Indeed, have been the case, else she Would never linve called upon Aunt Funny Duyckinck, as she dill the very next evening, to Inspect the doings of her Working fJirls' club, in hope of an idea. People who knew Mrs. Inicykiuck well seldom looked upon her as an example of practical wisdom. Janet was surprised when Aunt Fan ny welcomed her in evening dress. The host ss explained that she was so busy that really she couldn't devote her en tire evenings to the club during the "season." "Come," she coneiuileil, ' let's go down to them. I haven't seen them yet this evening myself." She led tlie way down the basement rtairs. In the servants' hall they found half a dozen young women. A French maid in n dainty cap was with them ami books were strewn about the table. There was a little chorus of "Ohs!" nnd "Ahs!" us the two entered tho room, and one girl flapped her hands. Airs. Uucylnck Hushed and looked pleased. ".Mais, miulame, vous utes charmaiite, tres charmante! Voila une costume tnaunllliiiie! N'est ce pas, mesdeniois ellcs'."' cried the maid, turning to tho girls at tho table. One or two responded: "Mais out, m'amselle Nanette," In apparent prido of their .linguistic skill. The others were discreetly tsllont. "Yes, isn't it pretty, girls?" cried Dncvknlck, turning slowly round to exhibit her finery. They're having a French lesson," she explained to Mis. Andrews. "Nanette teaches them. Oh, we do lots of things. I road to them, and discuss tho topics of the day, nnd tell them what books are lit to rend and which ones young girls should leave alone. We'll have more members by und by." All this was said with extreme volu bility, and in full hearing of the club. Janet looked at the young women. All were well dressed nnd seemed intelli gent. One cr two appeared as if they might bo sutllciently desirous of learn ing French to overlook such eccentrici ties in their hostess, but at h list a por tion of tho group, she was certain, were having a little quiet sport at a silly woman's expense. She was obout to take her leave when a hoy of nine burst into the room. Ho was in his stock ings, his coat was off. his waist unbut toned, his tie was dragging over his shoulder, and ho was panting as if he had Just won a race. "Nurse says you're going out." he Fhouted In his childish treble "You're always going out. Won't you give me omo money? I'll have to go to schoot before you are up. and I want" "Yes. yes, dear; you shall have it," raid Aunt Fanny, hastily. "How care less to let you como down In such a Knocking state! Hut no matter." Then turning, she continued In a chirruping, cheerful voice: "These are mamma's working girls, Horace. Please say 'How clo you do?' to mamma's working girls." "How do you do?" said Hornro.bring lng his stockinged heels together and bowing with mechanical correctness. "oh. French, French! Parle vous!" "Hon soir, mademoiselle." said Hor ace, without apparent interest, or ex pectation of an answer. "Very good; only you should have paid 'inesdenioiselles.' Plural, . you know. Now shako hands." The prospect of Immediate funds rendered Master Tloruce good-natured, nnd he graciously shook hands with each phi in turn. The contrast be tween his unconventional attire and mien of dignity was so comic that one working girl concealed her face behind her hnndkorchiof and three giggled, nnd Mrs. Andrews, struggling with an almost overmastering Impulse to follow suit, escaped downstairs. CHAPTEU V. hoses nun. Janet Andrews was Indeed becoming desperate. People had somehow heard of her benevolent purpose nnd her un made will, and her doorbell had little rest from morning till night. Always honing agninst hope that a feasible idea might be suggested by some of those visitors every one of whom wanted Immediate cash if possible, a legacy if that was the bent that could bo had she was listening one afternoon to a dreary succession of appeals for money from rich people pleading general needs and poor ones pleading personal wants, and all equal ly barren of suggestion in her dilemra; and she had clven checks Willi a lib erality which she knew was reckless, end feared might be mischievous, w hen Aunt Fanny Duyckinck was announc ed nnd burst in upon her with the query: "Have you seen the papers?" "No; what papers?" ."The Sunday papers, of course; yes terday's. I didn't, either, till an hour 9K'J. I heard a!.'OUt It and sent down town 'after them. The horrid crea tures!" "Hut what is It?" urged Mrs. An drews. "Oh. It's too awful! Do you know, two tif those horrid working girls who have been coming to my house weren't LEGACY Bachelor Syndicate working Kills nt all, but newspaper writers, and they've actually printed a Ioiir description of the club! And so ill-natured! They refer to my 'pat ronizing manner.' and say my French Is bad nnd that my talk ubout theories of taxation was as good as a circus. And the:' told all about that ridiculous scene with Hornce the evening 'ou t ame." ' "Hid they clve your name?" "No, but they hinted at It." "I nm very sorry," said Mis. An drews, "for I am afraid it will put a stop to your charities." "No, it won't. Put that dub will stop! 1 couldn't hear to have tho irea tures in the house again. You never can know when they ure going to turn again and rend you. What the lower classes real!:' need Is more delicacy. Now, I'm going to get a big basket of ruses you call get very fair ones for eight dollars a dosen and I'm giing to stores and shops and places where such girls are, and give 'em away. I'll be sure thev aren't' reporters then, nny- how. And If I see any destitution among the people i can oner assist ance, too. "I do not see that it can do nny harm," said Mrs. Andrews, slowly, af ter a moment spent in deep thought: "and after the experience I have had wiih charities that's saying a great dial." CHAPTER VI. A "Tl.PMPET" HIiAST. "I Wonder who 'Mr. James Herbert Pansom' can be," mused Janet An drews, glancim; at the ilrst of two strips of pasteboard: "oh, here's Mr. Ford's card, too. Probably his friend. 1 shall be down directly. James." Ford's companion proved to be a handsome, finely-dressed man In early middle life, who slated that he hud come to interview Mrs. Andrews about her will. "Oh, I can't!" she exclaimed, recoil ing at the Idea. "Put, how did you hear of It?" oh, then it is true?" said Hansom. "JSelievo mo, Mrs. Andrews," put in Ford, hurriedly, "a plain statement from yen call do no harm. The news papers will all have stories about you in any case, and you'd better have them authoritative. In fact, it was by my n quest that Mr. Hansom came." "Yes," said linnsom; "when Ford heard about the will, he become conscience-stricken for having suggested tlie model new simper to you and asked me to come nnd pulverize the Idea by ii refutable fads and let the cold light el' reason shine on the remains. Now see here, Mrs. Andrews; I shall lie frank with you, in return for the Interview you are going to give me. Ford's Idea Is crazy. You might as well drop your money In mid-Atlantic us try to run a newspaper by legacy. Your extcu- MRS. DVYCKINCK CAME P.PST MNCJ IN. tors would all pull different ways, grinding their own axes and blowing their own penny whistles and galloping their own hobbies ncross the columns until they would look like a crazy quilt." "You are very kind, both of you," said Mrs. Andrews, rallying a little; "but. of course, I never really thought of starting a paper" which was no more than a gray lie at most. She had thought no more of it Hum of a dozen other schemes that Is to say, a groat deal. "All right," said Hansom, "so much the better for you. Now for the Inter view, if you please." The Interview, an "exclusive" for the Ti limpet, was well over when Mrs. Uuyckintk came bustling In. "J low are the roses going," asked Janet, weakly, reclining In a big chair alter her labors, and feeling us if tlie world was Hearing Its end. 'Hoses! Humph! I actually did buy n basketful of beauties and went down among the shops, and looked around im i II I saw u really clever looking young person, " 'My dear woman,' I said, 'won't you let me give von two or three roses? It must be dreadfully tiresome to stand here all day long.' " 'Thank you,' she said, 'but I can not accept them. It would tuke near ly half my week's wages to buy such roses.' " " 'Hut I didn't nsk you to buy them,' said 1. " 'I know it,' said she, 'but I cannot take them. Yon mean to be kind, but you would not offer them to another lady, a total stranger, whom you might meet on the street. Why should you to me?' "That's a very different matter.' said T as, of course, I oughtn't to have done; but 1 was so provoked and 1 Just turned rlsht around and come back uptown as fast as I could go." "And what are you going to do now?" asked Mrs. Andrews, smiling in spite of herself. "Well, do von know," said the spurned one slowly; "it sounds horrid. Pin sure; but for awhile, ut least. I'm going to do one confounded thing." CHAPTER VII. El'HEKA! "I suppose It Is no use asking if you've an idea for my will. You nev er do have," said Mrs. Andrews rather testily to Hostile!', w hen that exemplary lawyer m-vt came to report. "True, I never have had In tho past," said Hosmer, coolly. "Heartless wretch, have you found one now? Don't you know I'm dying to hear It?" "I have an Idea that seems good to me." "tlo on! (In on!" "In tho fust place," snld Hosmer. "! suggest that you do not wait for your death before beginning the work I shall tiro-pose. Make a will, of course; every one should do that. Hut use your money while you live, anil have the fun of ex ecuting your own idens, and be sure they are executed right." "Hut how shall I live meanwhile?" asket Janet, nfter pondering the propo sition for a moment. "Don't give up all your money. One tenth of It is enough for you to live on; nine-tenths will be more than enough for your work. HeslUes, with an as sured Income, you'll feel more inde pendent, oven If you n'-murry." "1 shall never marry," replied Janet, flushing. "I nm sorry," said Hosmer; "I In tended to nsk you to marry me. "Janet," he went on, nfter a little silence, during which she remained ( fit I P looking at the floor, paling and flushing by turns; "I've loved you a long time, but never had the courage to tell you so. It would have seemed us If I wanted to marry your money, and you must have seen too much of that kind of love. Hut If you would only get rid of most of the stuff In the way I suggest, dun't you sec how different it would he. I uni not rich, but 1 have enough for all our needs. If you retain onlv a modest income or nothing; I don't cure I ennnot he accused of fortune hunting If I ask you to let me love you." Atrnln silence. "Iiut you haven't told me yet what to do with the money," was what she said at last. "Oh, never mind tho money! It has bothered both of us quite enough; I shall not tell you one word more about my plan until until I kiss you." Your conditions are very cruel," she mill in in I'd, "but of course, if you insist" That was a month or so nsro. IIos mer's engagement to Mrs. Andrews has censed to be talked about, only be cause gossip is busy with the report Hint the lii'idt expectant has sold her Newport residence and bought a farm house on Pons Island for a summer homo, and that nearly her enUre for- "i sn.w.r. not TET.f, vnr one WillII) Al.Ol T MY PLAN PNTILc I'NTILc 1 K1S.S VoiT" tune Is to be put Into a trust fund for a permanent work of public ben c licence. Sin is to retain her house on the avenue for association's sake, and for Its nearness to her friends. Hosmer and Janet are both absurd ly happy. He has discovered that a man can spend twenty years in engross ing labor and still be, at forty, young in heart. She has found that a mo tive In life was what she wanted. They are to be married soon, nnd will take a Ions trip nbrond before settling down to their li'V work. What the work Is I do not In the least know; nor, If I did, would 1 re veal the secret before the time. Think what you would do with ten millions. That ma;' be It. (The End.) AMUSEMENTS. Plack PalH, the createst sl"ffer of her race, who has won triumphs In everv part of the civilized world, comes to the Fi'othingham tonight for a hnlf week's engagement in conjunction with the "Pluck PutU'B Troubadours," which is said to be the most imposing organ ization of colored performers; In exist ence. There nre tifty people' In the company which is credited with giving a performance that excels in point of novelty iinythintr that has been seen or the American stuse. While comedy und vaudeville hold a conspicuous place on tho programme yet the great feature of the performance Is the oper atic Kaleidoscope which occupies the linal half hour. In this are Introduced the happiest selections taken from "tlrand Duchess," "Trovatoro," "Car men." "Daughter of the Kevulullon," "Kausl," "Tnr and Tartar." "Hohem lan Uiii," "Matitana," "Luccla," and "Uigoletto." The announcement of the cumins of Hoyt's "A Texns Steer," to the Froth Inghum Thursday (Tliunksgivlng) for matinee and evening performance will be welcomed with a feellnsr of delight by the entire comedy loving population of our city. While "A Texas Steer" muy not be consistantly reckoned with a standard novel. Its application to contemporary events is still so dearly apparent thnt Its popularity Is not to lie a source of wonderment. The com edy is a satire from beginning to end. The company is promised hh one of the best that has) been sent out in this most laughable satire. As a Thanksgiving Day attraction for the Aciidemj- of Mush; Manager Hon it has sec ured "A Homance of Coon Hollow," which will be produced af ternoon and evening. Here, mirrored by nature in beauty and epmintness Is given a picture of real life In old Tennessee. Anion;; the scenes will be that of a cotton press In operation as seen, on the southern plantation, a moonlight picture of Coon Hollow with electric, calcium and lime light ef fects, and the great boat race be tween the Mississippi river steameis -Holier. E. Lee und Natchez. An entertainment that should please everybody will be on at Davis' the ater all this week. It Is a mixed show, embracing comedy, vaudeville and tinnlomine, served u: In such propor tions nnd combination us to merit and win tlie approbation of Manager Davit.' entire patronage. A half hour of legitimate comedy will be followed by a number of lop-liner specialties, the show concluding with a lively pnn tomine. In which the entire company wl!' appear. The complete rdiow, com edy, vaudeville nets and puntomlne, will lie changed nfter Wednesday: bo one can see, virtually, two complete shows during tho week.
