R 4XSY AHKIbAX'a CAP BOX.
My wife's consin was a Blender,
old-fai-bioned looking girl, with
quiet, retiring manners, and a habit
of gliding about with almost noise-
less movements. I used to call her
the little gray ghost.
It Eeenied to me, when mr wife
Erst broached the subject, a Quixot
ic notion to take the girl home with
us, but Xellj's heart is fo large and
so loving.
"Just think of the poor child alone
in that wilderness!" the said with
pitring eves ; "and we have plenty to
spare.'
"So has Aunt Cheyney."
"Yes, but fhe lives in the bck
woodft, as solitary a place as can be
found. The poor child has had no
mother foryears; ber father has been
an invalid ever since she was ten
years old, and now that be is rone,
it d'tes seem hard she should be con
demned to solitude and old Aunt
Cheyney. At least, let us invite her
to come for a 6eason ; let ns give her
a few months of pleasure, poor child!
hhe will be so delighted, so astonish
ed with this bewildering New York."
I consented, of course, as rood
husbands are in duty bound to do,
and on a certain October afternoon,
drove to the station for my wife '
cousin. I kcew ber the moment she
bad made ber appearance, though I
had never seen ber before. The little
creature appealed to my sympathy at
once by her indescribably forlorn ap
pearance. So small, so white, so
timid; ber lustrous gray eyes), ber
ulr beauty, roTiusr around, atarthsd
to unwonted lustre.
"IstLis SusyMyriam?" I asked.
"Yes, 1 was beginning to feel a
little frightened at the confusion,"
rhe said ; 'you are couein Nelly's bus.
band.'
I led her away from the crowd,
and she was silent and strange tbe
whole way home, utterly preoccupied
with the sights to be seen at all hours
in our great metropolis.
From that time Susie was one of
us I mean in all that pertains to the
manners and customs of the house-
bold, and vet I never could feel an?
nearer degree of friendship than that
with which I welcomed ber the first
day to our pleasant home.
- "She is bandv," said mr wife.
'You don't know bow many little
things she does, and yet I can't pre
vail upon her to take a single present
from me.
"She don't care for little vanities."
I said.
"Don't she? she's as fond of nice
things as any bod v, I've found that
out; but she has an absurd notion
that unless she earns costly jewels,
she won't wear tbem : won't be depend
ent even on me lor tne most inning
ornaments, hhe admired tbe little
old-fashioned pearl brooch that you
always liked so well, and I offered
it to ber. No, insist as I might, I
could not prevail on ber to accept it
I have tried again and again to tempt
her, for really I have so many useless
that 1 don t wear at all, but
it is no matter or use. bbe is tbe
ruoft obstinate little creature I ever
saw."
Time passed, and I became accus
tomed to tbe slight gray figure sit
ting beside my wife, or flitting about
like a contented ghost Wife bad
found a companien for her solitary
hours and I was glad. Together
they baunted tbe picture galleries,
the art saloons ; together they shop
ped, drove in tbe park or lunched.
Va bom do you think we met to
day?" wife asked me one dy when
we were alone together- 40f all men
in the world, II any Lonsdale, whom
I bavn't seen since be returned from
Europe, and he bas a picture at
Lozier'o that everybody is going
wild over. It is a beautiful thing
you knew I nerer talk art jargon, but

When I saw bini be seemed quite as
much absorbed in studying Suise she
was in studying bis picture. You
don't know bow pretty she looked.
You needn't smile, John for her eyeg

Harry saw me and came up straight
to where I stood. I told him bow
(lad J was to know be was getting
sarnous, but be only nodded, and
said eagerly.
"That youug lady seems to be
rather interested I am flattered."
"Yes, that is my cousin, Susie," I
replied.
"Your cousin! pray introduce me,
and John, as sure as you live, that
will be a match."
"Nonsense," was my rejoiner. I
knew Harry Lonsdale, and Soie was
not by any means bis ideal. Harry
liked dashing, handsome girls, riva
cious, magnetic; girls of the TracyU
ian style, with oral faces, languish
ing eyes and baugbty Hps. Be bad

I knew some of tbe young ladies witb
whom he was on very intimate terms.
Tbe idea of bis fancying this cold
gray little creature, with ao figure U

sbe was seldom noticed at all was
preposterous.

the chains of eternal friendship.
Harry Lonsdale ia tbe vainest man
I ever saw for a man who really is a
great genius." ,
"Well, wellaee," said my wife,
witb that confident, little nod of hers.
"It would be sufficient punishment
for your unbelief if I have the chance
to say some time, I told you so."
To my utter astonishment, Harry
called at the house three evenings out
of tbe week after that, and under tbe
influence of bis presence that little
gray cousin grew oeauufuL I no
ticed a change ia ber deportment.
She teemed at times more preoccu
pied ; at others, elated, mirthful, al
most wildly' happy; particulay on
those days when it seemed probably
Harry would come. I began to
share my wife's anticipations, began
to watch Harry. He did not seem
exactly like an impassioned lover.
About this time, my wife said to
me one dav that Susie was receiving
letters from some far off friend.
I notice when they come: some
times I band them to ber, but sbe
uever mentions tbem again.
'Shouldn't you think she Wnuld
speak about tbem?" asked my
wife.
Susie's movements were now of
importance in my eyes. How bad
that plain little girl managed to cap
tivate nandaome, popular Uarrv
Lonsdale, tbe most exacting man in
his relation to woman I ever knew ?
Tbe thing certainly was done.
Susie came out in a new character.
Her gray dresses were brightened
with exquisit . bits of color. She
spoke to my wife of needing new
dresses, snd to Nelly's astonishment,
uougni severaL men came orna
ments, few, but choice and costly.
"W bere do you suppose she gets
the money ?" asked Nelly.
How do we know but sbe mar be
rich aod eccentric was my response.
"You pitied ber, and thought ber a
poor lone girl, but ber father might
have possessed property to a large
amount for all we can telL"
Nelly shook ber wise Lead.
"I don t believe be left a cent in
deed, what, am I saying ? It is a
matter of certainty that be did not,
for Susie told me so herself. Besides
she would bave got fine things fast
enough, scores of times. I've seen
the look in ber eye Tsben I bave been
shopping at Stewart's, suggestive of
emptiness of pocket and anguish of
spirit Tor you see now what lovely
taste sbe baa, But I wish 6he wasn't
such a secret little thing, that's what
torments roe ; I do like to be confided
in."
What followed made that covers a-
tion memorable. Some months pre
vious I had received tbe sum of three
thousand dallars for a small piece of
land. This money., or a part of it, I
aad aecaaiOII li JUsB. ... I .WMt op to
the closet in my room, one aide of
whieb served as a safe. To bt ut
ter astonishment, tbe money was not
there. I searched tbe closet through
andtben called my wife for a consul
tation. Together we looked in every avail
able place cleared tbe shelves of tbe
library, searched through all tbe clos
ets, bureaus, boxes, trunks and nooks
that tbe bouse afforded, but in Tain ;
tbe money was gone no signs of
bank bills anvwbere.
"Where conldyou have put them ?"
asked my wife, tired and discour
aged. "I put tbem in that closet, my key
bas been in that little box on tbe end
of tbe mantle-piece; I have never
been to tbe closet since I left the
money there, but some one else bas,
it seems."
"None of the servants but one, old
Hester, ever comes into this room,"
murmured Nelly, "and I would stake
my life on her honesty."
"Of course, and so wonld I."
"Three thousand dollars, why
John that's a large sum to lose."
"Large or small its gone."
"But where?" my wife queried,
perplexed and anxious. "Wboeoild
bave known it was there? Have
you ever spoken of the the money be.
fore anybody? People will do
sach miserably strange things some
times."
"Yes I bave spoken of having that
amount by mc, two or three times,
but no one was present but you and
Susie. It was an abominably care
less thing to do leaving itlying around
loose instead of puting it in tbe bank
as I should." Day after day we
looked for tbe money, speaking of our
suspicions to no one, until finally we
gave it up for lost JL week after
this Nelly came to my room with a
pale face.
It's so strange," sbe murmured,
"and I do bate to bave such thoughts,
but John where could Susie bare got
that splendid diamond solitare V she
half whispered.
"What solitare r" I asked.
"You bare not seen it; sbe wore
it to-nigbl for tbe first time."
I suppose sbe is engaged Harry
gave it to ber," I suggested.
But Harry didu t give it to ber.
I asked her and she said no."
Tbe deuce!" was all I could
say.
"And John, it really looks alarm
ing, tbe number of costly things sbe
bas been buying 01 late. Thirty dol
lars for a parasol 1 only think ! and
mine didn't cost twenty, a box of
the dantiest gloves, everything by
tbe doren."
We looked at each other in si
lence. "About tbe richest black silk you
ever saw better than mine. The
material must bave cost a hundred
dollars ; what will tbe drees come to
when it is made up?"
"What can it all mean ?" I que
ried. '
"Don't ask me ; I am heart-sick of
tbe thought of it - It's miserable
business. Can it be possible? but
no. I won't say it Certain it is

"I wonder if iba fellow lores ber?"
' "Lores ber I be worships her 1"
"And be will saaryber."
"Of coarse he wilt,"
"What is our duty ia that ease, ao

it would be & pleasure just to see ber,

John! John!" and poor Nelly hid
ber face in her bands.
And still the purchases continued.
Nelly and I said nothing never
asked a question now, but we were
all tbe time watching, miserable and
unhappy.
Susie must have noticed the
change in us, but she was so preoccu
pied with her lover that she probably
attributed it to some other cause.
Harry was now a constant visitor.
tie came to my office one dar, and
with an almost radiant face, told mc
of his love for my wife's cousin. ' I
hope you do not object," he added
when I had beard bim through
"Whr should I ?" I inquired ; she
is only Nelly s cousin
' Hang it, man, you re cool enough
about it any way," he said.
Can t you get up a little enthu
siasm when a lellow is half beside
himself with happiness. You don't
want her to go, eh ?"
"I am quite willing," I answered
"but I confess there's no accounting
for taste. She is very far from the
person I fancied would be the choice
of my fastidious friend Harry Lons
dale."
"Ah, you are thinking of our old
discussions but let me tell you, she
is perfectly beautiful in my sight, and
little BLort oi divinity. Her eyes
are certainly glorious, and then her
charming, winning ways, and ber per
fect taste! Jove! what exqui6it
taste!"
"That's true," said I.
"Well come old fellow, I'm glad to
hear you own up to something. 1 11
be blessed if I sbooldent think were
you a single man. you were in love
with ber yourself.
My answer satisfied him. "If I
were single and she tbe only woman
in tbe world, I wouldent marry
her."
"Whew ! well that's what I call
trifle decided," he said, and went off
out of temper.
Several weeks passed. Susie Lad
notified my wife of her engagement
Sbe could not but be aware of con
straint in our manner. Nelly and I
frequently bad conversations together
over tbe matter, in which we com
men ted upon tbe strange good fortune
tbat bad seemingly befallen Miss Su
sie. 1 be disappearance or my three
thousand dollars, and her sudden ac
cession of costly dresses and jewelry
did look, to Bay the least, suspicious.
One dsr on my return home, my
wife informed me that Susie intended
to leave us.
"She came to me this morning,"
continued Nellv, and told me Aunt
Casyasf bad written sarins' that aba
wished ber to return : and as she bad
a great deal to do, sbe thought it bet
ter to bave tbe wedding outfit made
there. I said to ber, "We thought
you would be married from bere,
Susie." She looked strange for a
moment, for she must bave seen bow
little heart was in my words. Then
she said Aunt Cheyney expected the
ceremony to take place there, bad, in
fact, been making great preparations.
Besides, sbe quite wanted to see
Aunty's withered old face and there
she stopped. She is going to-morrow
night, and is getting ready
now."
I would have given the world to
have been able to say that I was sor
ry, but the truth is, ber presence had
become hateful to me ; I wanted ber
to be gone.
We were very polite to the last.
I saw Susie off in company with my
wife. Harry went with her, tbe hap
piest man I ever saw.
It was a relief to behold ber vacant
:bair, ber place at tbe table, to miss
ber gliding movements, and feel that
we could talk and o'o as we pleased,
with no spy or esves dropper in the
way. Nelly missed her for a time,
and often talked and wondered about
her. Sbe answered ber first letter
and declined to a'-tend ber wedding,
but tbe second letter remained unan
swered. Not a great while after that Harry
procured a house in tbe city, and I
saw bim occasionally. Towards his
wife I entertained a feeling of strong
aversion. It was sbe who had de
stroyed tbe dear old intimacy, for
Harry and I bad been famous friends,
and now he never called at the
office.
We often beard of Mrs. Lonsdale's
receptions, ber dinners; her perfect
taste, ber fascinating mannei , but we
nerer called.
It was late in tbe following season
before we prepared to go on our an
nual flitting into the country. I had
sent most of the household goods,
which always accompanied us, and
gathered enough together for tbe final
load. Nelly came up to inspect
them.
"Where in tbe world did you find
tbat cap box ?' she asked laughing,
"and wby bare yon installed it on
top of all tbe other bundles ?"
"Don't you remember tbe box, Nel
ly ?" I replied, "it was grandmother
Carrigan's, the rery one in which sbe
used to put ber old esp. Why, I
can see ber face in it this moment,
and what upon earth !" I exclaimed,
cutting short my speech.
My wife hsd pulled off the deep
cover of the box with some exertion,
and there, snuggly stowed together,
staring us innocently in tbe face,
were the misiung notes.
Nelly and I stood dumb witb dis
may, staring first at tbe box, and then
at each other.
"Oh John ! poor, dear, innocent
Susie !" was ber first exclamation.
"What witchery is this?" I re
sponded; "bow under the sun did
that money get there 2"?
"John dear, how unjust we hare
been!"
"Don't cause me to feel any more
meanly of myself," said I. "I could
sell John Carrigan, money and all,
far sixpence."
"John, what could she have thought
of as?"
"Suppose you go and inquire
dear?
"I will ; 111 go right there, John.

"Yes, we have, and cousin Susie

"Very far from that ," said Susie,
smiling. I have often tried to ex
cuse you to myself, for circumstances
were certainly against me, particular
ly when I spent so lavishly. I could
not explain then ; I can now. My
half-brother forged papa's name for a
few thousand dollars, years ago. My
father, for me, and the honor of the
family, let him go clear with his ill
gained booty.
"Some months ago be, learning
that papa was dead, refunded me the
money by instalments, pledging me
to secrecy, as be did not wih them

So I kept it secret because I bad

a phase of human nature happilv ex

thereto show a mixture of romantic

for some time courting a young lady
of that place; and though circum

The immense trade in Australian
canned meats, now carried on, has
had the effect of caoin? a great ac
cumulation of hoaes in Melbourne,
Australia, where the putting up is
done. Tbe sale of the bones is now
growing into a remunerative branch
of export trade as bone dust manure ;
and an Australian paper, speaking
of tbe subject, gives an account of the
manner of its exportation. It say9
that a recent vessel, bound for Lon
don, bad on board a shipment ot one
hundred tuns of bone dust, prepared
for exportation in an altogether novel
manner, and one which promises to
come into extensive use. To facili
tate this trade, an apparatus has been
contrived for compressing bone dust
into half its original compass, reduc
ing it at the same time into a form
verr convenient for shipment By
means of strong pressure tbe crushed
hone are moulded into cakes of six
inches souare and three inches thick
sometbinaT like flooring tiles, each
cake weiehiwr a little over four
Dounds. These bone dust tiles are
just adhesive enough to admit their
being bandied freely tnrown aooui
like bricks, if necessary and are yet
firm ; and when required for use, they
can readily be crushed, or melted by
the application of a little hot water.
A tun weight of the manure measures
26 cubic feet, and contains 252 of tbe
cakes. Tbe manufacture of bone dust
for fertilising is a large and rapidly
increasing industry in this country,
and this Australian method might be
profitaWy adopted there.
