After she bad beard tbst piece of

wss tbe greatest grief of all, and the
hardest trouble tbst had yet fsllen

sipations sad scalping adventures,

perfidious account, and because b

hateful eoog to him to make bim

been so unbearable in every way.
Now be was gone, and ebe migbt

She would say so now, touM call

Why, there nerer, nerer were such
glorious eyes as bis ; such rich, red
lips as bis ; such teeth, neb bair
such smile or such perfect, manly
grace bestowed upon human before.
And just to think of a sailor (this last
with a sarcastic cu'l of ber pretty
lips,) why bo ought to bsve known
better himself.
Thinking these thoughts she sat
lb ere till twilight came, and the las:
light of tbe glorious California day
faded into darkness, and then tbe
longing for sympathy drew ber to ber
AanL She went to ber roem and
aat down on tbe carpet at ber feel
and laid ber bead in silence npoa ber
aunt's lap aad she in silence passed
ber band orer Annie's brown curls.
A her a while Annie raised ber eyes
and saw tears falling down her aunt's
cheeks, and, touched to tbe soul at
the sight of ber distress, she threw
ber arms around her, and sobbed till
both . were eoarajsed with grief.
Then when both became calmer, they
aat with their arms aroond each oth

could ; and if poor, heart-sore Nels
could bava looked back at this iostsot
to this group be migbt bsre taken
with bim some crumbs of comfort
which be did not, as it was.
Poor Nels ! bs besrt, that bad
been so long inrulnerable to feminine
charms, bad fallen a victim ; a will
ing captive to tbe sweet innocence
and childish grace of Lis passionate
little cousin and be bad believed ber
too purely good to bare a single
thought that was deceptive or un
lovely in any way, until Jaoe Berger
bad, at a sacriGce of ber own feel
ings, told bim what she did. - He felt
half angry at Jane for having told
bim, but still, no man can be really
angry with a woman be thinks lovea
bim, and be divided bia anger so tbat
it fell on both girls equally ; but yet
it rave him more trouble tban be bad
ever before experienced. His fiery
mustang shook his bead nervously at
bia petuant rider's many jerkinjrs of
the rein and pricks of the spar, ss
tbey rode along under tbe hot sun,
and la a dond of dust, oa bia way to
camp down ia Arizona. Nels wss
jost in the mood to make hot war on
all Indiana who came near enough to
bim. Indeed, be rather longed for
aa opportunity to scalp a few of tbem,
as a safety valvs by which be could
let off a little saperSuoua bitterness.
Somehow, tbe farther he got away
from Annw the more bitter be grew.
and the tighter be set bis white
teeth whenever be thought of ber. j
-. Ilia companions saw tbst something
was amiss with him, and as be was
not a man to be questioned, they talk
ed among themselves and wondered
what could hare occasioned bim to
leave San Francisco before be was
bliged, lor tbe dreary, dnr and mis
erable Arizonian war path ; aad tbey
concluded tbat be bad "bucked tbe ti
ger" till be was "dead broke." Tbey
arrived at camp and settled dewa in
to tbe monotonous life before tbem.
Nls bad been gone three dsys, and
Annie aad Mrs. Sanborn bad felt tbe
boaae ao lonely after bis departure,
tbat tbey bad concluded to make two
f a pleasure party who were about
to make a tear of tbe States. Mrs.
Sanborn wrote privately to Nels and
told bias aa nearly as the could, in
justice to Annie's maidenly pride,
something of ber grief atbisexoadus,
and begging bim to resign and come
borne to tbem, aad she drew ao touch
ing pietare of their loneliness with
ot bias, that I am sure be could not
bare withstood its pathos, if be ever
got tbe letter ; but tbe tackiest mail
carrier was tenderly shot and scalped
ad roasted over a alow (re, by tbe
gen tie, harmless Apaches, so he. of
course, did not come.
- Mrs. fiaabora bad urged hard be

Annie, st this shivered as with
cold, and fell to the flor like a lily
cut down by the frost. All thought
of the missing money was put by,
till she recovered, and was placed in
bed by her aunt, and left to go to
sleep. Tben Mrs. Ssnborn sent for
Chief Durke snd a detective, and
tbev. with ibe lawver. all went over
the circumstances as nearly as
the v
could get at them ; and tben
away to work up tbe case,
looked a very uoabuul one,
Mr. Sanborn returned to Annie, and !
finding ber still asleep under the in-'
fluence of the sedative she had given!
ber. wrote to tbe friend with whom
she bad intended to travel and excus
el herself and Anuie. Tben, as her
restless nature would not let ber re
main idle, sbe sat down and wrote
the news to Nels. Which letter also
Lerer reached him.
Annie did not awake till the. next
morning, and tben laid st'.H, iLiukmg
of the terrible occurrences of the day ;
before, and tbe ni!l more terrible one
of tbe week betore, when she had
seen Nela going into bis own room
with the box in his band. Wben sbe
thoagbt of all this sbe shuddered and
hid ber face in tbe pillow and wept
bitterly. Sbe bad in the pain of
parting, forgotten that circumstance
utterly, and never remembered it un
til ber aunt discovered tbat the mon
ey was gone, and sbe did not know
w bat to do. Presently ber aunt came
up to rouse ber for breakfast, and
Annie thought sbe would talk to ber
in such a way as to di-cover ber feel
ings, and so guide herself. Poor An
nie was sorely tried. Mrs. Sanborn
came in, and stooped lovingly and
kissed Annie, whereupon she broke
out crying harder than ever.
"Why Annie, child, dont take on
so about tbe money, one of your
tears is worth tje whole ot iL All I
care for, is tbe idea of having it tak
en after putting it there so obstinate
ly tn spite of all you and els said
Pear e;s, if be bad been here it
would not have ben taken. No one
would have dared to come about
while be was bere, but as it is gone,
I suppone it will bare to go. I wrote
to Nels yesterday snd told him of
tbe robbery and beeped bim to come
home. I Lope be will come, for . I
don't like to hare bim down there
among those reckless soldiers at all.
I am afraid be will get to gambliug
with them, and do belie re tbat if
anything happens to bim, it would
break my heart. I do not feel quite
sure, child, tbat I do not lorebim'bet
ter than I do you."
"But Auntie, wasn't it nearly all
tbe money you had ?"
"No dear, not a quarter. It is not
tbe ralue of it tbat I care about. 1
care about being oot-witted. Tbat
is wLat troubles me. I shall not be
beggared ; only laughed at, and that'
to tne is much worse."
"What does the detectire say "
"Not nuicb; be thinks be msy trsce
the criminal, as some of the notes
were nuxbered and marked ia a pe
culiar way by our lawyer so tbat tbey
could be identified. But, nevermind,
dear, get np and take a bath, which
will refresh you wooderfullv ; tben
come to my room to breakfast ; I had
it sent up there.
"Yes, auntie, said Annie, wearily :
and tben she rose to dress. Then sbe
thought, "it is no nse, I dare sot tell

-what shall I do ? He will be sure

sod be would naturally look - to her

bome and wrote, him a long letter.
Sbe wrote splendid letters, full of spi

Only a letter such as a good fun

She added a postscript which read :
"Ob, I forgot to tell you that the

Jane's letter, tbougb a gOv.d one,
somehow failed to cbeer tbe lonely
heart of Nels quite as much as it
ought to hare doue, and seemed to
think more of tbe two last lines than
all the rest. So Annie was in good
spirits ? And only since ho came
away. Well, be would not go back
to trouble ber again. As for his
sunt, be was sorry ber money was
stolen, but he still felt some of the
feeling that actuated tbe old woman
to say, "I told, you so," wbeo the
cow eat tbe grindstone tbat ws left

place it in a - bank, - and
bad offered to provide ber a body

so she had lost it, and he did not care

Sbe had not written to bim to tell

wretched aad sbe rarely spoke to
him. After be bad borne it till be
could notltear it longer in silence, be
went to bis aunt and said:
"Aunt Sarah what ia the reason
tbat Annie bates me so ?" !
"1 do not understand you, nel
son." "You must see how sbe treats me,
never speaks uoless obliged to, and
then so coldly."
"I bsve not seen h, Nelson."
' ' Coldness is felt, not seen, tbst is
what makes it so bitter. I don't see
what is tbe reason ; and Aunt Sarab,
I don't mind telling yoa. I love that
girl." And bere he bowed his besd
on the arm of the chair and groaned
dismally.
"But Nels, Jsne Derger, wbst of
ber"
"Nothing. Why?"
"Sbe ssys there is said yon were
engaged to ber."
"Did Annie ever bear it? Tbe
liar!"
' "Who ia a liar Annie or Jane ?
No Nels. I took good care tbat sbe
should not, for I imagined it was you
seh was fretting for; but Jane ssid
you wrote ber "
"So I did; and bere are ber let
ters to me, you can see tbem all. I
never got but one from you, aod so,
as I was lonesome I answered hers.
"1 don't wsnt her letters, Nels, I

write to you, snd twice within three
days after you left, urging you to

"Auot Sarah, what shall I do ?"
"I think you had better tell Annie
what you have told me, tbat is. part
of it. I leave you to guess what
part. There sbe is io tbe garden;
now go and tell ber, and God prosper
you in it, my boy."
Nels went out into tbe garden
with a fainter heart tban be bad
ever had eren when his bore was
shot under bim and be was surround
ed by a dozen or more yelliog
Apaches, but be kept bravely on aod
walked manfully np to Annie, who
was seated on a rustic sest under a
tbick leaved lime tree A few manly
and strsigbt-forward words, from
Nels, tender and tremulous with emo
tion, showed Annie tbe state of his
besrt, and filled her with a strange
happiness, in spite of ber desire to
j feel otherwise. Wbeo be paused for
an answer, sbe looked awav as sbe
told him ia a low voice "it cannot
be."
"Annie," said Nels, "is there any
one else you care for? Is that tbe
i reason ?"
No. no one ; I
simply
ssr it is
impossible."
"Annie I am sorry, how sorry I
cannot say ; but can you gire me no
hope for the future? Is it because
people cell me wild ?"
' I csn give you none; and as to
the reason, I think you might guess,"
said she, turnisg to enter the bouse.
"I am at a loss to understand you,
Annie, what is it?"
"Don't you remember what took
place tbe last nigbt of your stay here,
before you started for Arizona?"
said Annie flushed and angry.
He at once imagined tbat she
meant bis parting kiss upon tbe lips
of Jaoe Berger, and be flushed with
mortification as be said :
"I hope you do not blame me for
that; any man in tbe world would
have done the same ; I was fairly
driven to it"
"If you look at it in tbat liht; re
member tbat I do not believe io such
bseeness," snd Annie walked past
bim into tbe bouse.
Poor Mrs. Saoboro was io trouble
whensbr beard the result of Nel3
wooing, aad was inclined to give
Annie a good scolding, but a sigbt
of ber wan face and trembling limbs
disarmed ber.
Nels aid he would go back to bis
company even if be went as a private,
since be bad to reaigo to get free ;
while Annie secretly resolved to leave
ber auot and apply for a position as
gorerness ia some family.
Nels was politely cool to Annie
after that; but tbe sight of the trouble
io his big brown eyes rscked her own
besrt sadly, but iben sbe would think
tbat he bad been an ungrateful tbief,
robbiog bis trusting sunt, and thus
harden ber beart again. Take it all
in all, that time was one of intense
misery to the whole three.
Annie wss so much prostrated by
tbe excitement tbst Mrs. Saaborn
did not thiok it sa!e that she should
sleep alone, and so hsd a bed pre
pared for ber in ber own room. Tbe
week after Nels' arrival all three
were in Mrs. Sanborn's sitting room
sod were discussing tbe robbery io
all its bearings. After a while they
sepsrated and retired. Annie bad
slept, how long, sbe did not know,
wben'sbe awoke feeling a strange
terror eome over her ; aad, as sbe
sroused more fully, she fell sure
some one was in the sitting room
adjoining. Sbe slid out of ber bed
and crept to her aunt and softlr
shook her and whispered ber fear.
Mrs Sanborn reached under ber pil
low and taking out ber pistol got out
of bed and together tbey went to tbe
open door, where io tbe middle of tbe
room ia the bright moonlight as
though undecided, stood Nels witb
tbe identical Japanese bov io his
bands. Mrs. Sauburn then wcoi to
tbe gas jet tbat was burning feebly
and turned it on to its fullest brillian
cy, but he never seemed to notice it,
but still stood as if thinking. Final
ly be spoke :" ,
"I scarcely know where to put it
to have it safe. I am afraid Aunt
Sarah is not careful enough, and I
believe ihooe fellows intend breakins-
in somewhere. Ob, I know; I'll pull
out the store pipe aad put it ia ibe
chimney," which be did by standing
oa a cbafr. Then be turned n4
weni back to his owa room, his aunt
following him to see tbat be was
safe.
Annie just went down ' on her
knees then, and gave thanks with a
grateful bean. Now abe knew be
was a sleep-walker aad never inten
ded to rob his aunt ; never bsd known
ot oia. ua. bow coald abe tare
eyer doubted him ; and much more
of the same sort.
. Wben Mrs. Sanborn came bark she
was almost hysterical orer tbe re

neys sre msde much larger tban tbey

nigbt to hide bis little money box
and couldn't get down. He awoke
while op the ehimoay and they bad
ao awful time getting bim down. A
few nights after bis mother beard
bim cry out for help, saying he was
up tbe chimney again. They got
the ladder and : rnsbed np to the
room to find bim sleeping peacefully
in bis bed. Another time be took
every knife, fork and spoon in ibe
bouse and buried tbem under a tree,
and it was more than a year before
tbey ever found tbem ; and it waa by
watching bim one nigbt wben be
was walking in bia sleep."
"Oh if I bad only known this be

I didn't know " tbe ready tears
coming fast
"And you kept it from me all this
time?"
"I knew it would break your heart,
and I didn't dare tell on tbat ac
count, but I felt like a traitor."
"And is that tbe reason you have !
been io each trouble, and why you J

ger, and how wben be bad come aod
rone to bed, sbe thooght sbe beard
barriers, end bad seen Nels with ibe
Japanese box go ioto bis own room,
sod thst wss all Wben sbe bad
finished, Mrs. Ssnborn said sbe wish
ed Annie bad had faith enough ia
Nels to have told him of it, if not ber;
whereupon Annie cried strain, an
was consoled by kisses and caresses
from ber aunt
Next morning Annie and her aunt
were up mucn earlier than ususl, and
Annie looked much brighter tban be
fore and altogether happier, as tbey
waited for Nels, who soon made his
appearance: As soon as be had fin
ished hissalotationa bia aunt said:
"Nels, I bsve fnnd out who rob
bed me of my strong box and all its
treasure."
"Have you? Who was 5t? Have
you gt it ?"
"Not yet ; but it will be very lit
tle trouble to do so. Have you no
idea who it was?" she asked archly.
"No," said he in astonishment;
and then as tbe thought csme, be
said : "You don't mean to ssy tbat
I have done it in another cue ol my
freaks of somosmbulism, do you ?"
"Just so, exactly ; now come and
see where you put it," aod sbe led
tbe wsy to tbe silting room ; aod
wben tbey got there they found that
Annie was not there. She bad
slipped into the parlor and bid her
self in one corner of the sofa, for tbe
thought bad struck her tbat when
Nels was listening to tbe story of his
annt be woold know that sbe bad im
agined bin capable of socb baseness
and be would naturally despise ber
forever. Meanwhile Nela was listen
ing to tbe story from his aunt with
wonder and astonishment, but finally
ssid:
"Did Annie tnink I could do such
a tbing?"
"Jane Berger had talked so to ber
tbat no wonder if she did ; but sbe
wa a noble girl to have kept it so
for your sake."
" Where ia she ? I must see ber."
"I do not know unless in tbe par
lor;" and then as Nels sprang off io
tbat direction sbe turned with a sigh
over tbe folly of youth in general,
these two in particular, aad went io
alone to ber breakfast saying: "I
don't thiok they will want any."
Nels found Annie cowering sod
trembling oo tbe sofa, and so be sat
down beside her and took ber band
between both of bis as be said:
"So little Annie Mir tbe dreadful
burglar and never told vf it; wby
not ?"
This last was said witb such a
tenderness in tbe rich sweet voice
tbat Annie, a'ter one by glauce up
ward, cast down ber eves, wniie a
rosy flush glowed on ber cheek, aod
a smile unconsciously dimpled around
her lips. Nels then repeated his
question, but receiving no soswer,
ssid :
"Annie darling, once before I ask
ed you a question; yoa aoswered
that ; so in hopes of bearing your
voice again in this world I ask it over
again. What do vou, say ? What
Annie?"
"Oh Nela!" that was all, except to
give him the other band, while a glo
rious light shone in ber eyes.
"Annie, pet," said Nels, after a
pause of half an hour, devoted to
kisses and otber nonsense such as
lovers usually indulge in, "Annie we
will invite Jane Berger to our wed
ding the first of A ugost"
"1 hope she will enjoy it," ssid she
a little spitefully.
"So do I."

Tbe death of Signor Blitz reminds
us of a very singular incident that oc
curred a few years ago in the little
town of Roselle, located ia New Jer
sey, on tbe Central R. R. Tbe ge
nial magician gave two entertain
menta there at tbe time spoken of,
one in tbe afternoon aod one in tbe
evening. Tbe former was mostly at
tended by youog folks of all ages and
sizes. The Signor went on with his
performance until he arrived at tbe
part wherein bis trained canary birds
bore, so Urge a share. Ooe feature
was the carrying about ia a diminu
tive wagon of a pure white dove
across a velvet covered space. Ibis
attracted the most earnest attention
of tbe little ones, smong tbem was a
bright little girl of five, the only
daughter of a wealthy resident cf
Kutwile. Tbe child was nearly fran
tic with delight over the curious ac
tions of tbe birds, aod sbe fell espe
cial!? io lore with ibe white dove.
At nigbt the father and child were at
tbe performance again, and tbe latter
ezbibited tbe same degree of interest.
Tbe next day Signor BliU left town
for Newark, where be tilled to per
form, and at tbe close of bia evening
entertainment a gentleman waa ad
mitted to bis preoence who endeav
ored to bargain for tbe purchase of
tbe birds aod tbe dove, especially tbe
dove. But the Sigaor coqld lirten to
ao proposals, although a fabalous
snm was offered him for tbe trained
pets. .
It waa about two weeks after this,
while Blitz was performing in Ash
tabula, Ohio, tbat be was again
brought face to face witb the gentle
man who bad endeavored to buy bis
birds ot Newark. A tr the perfor
mance the stranger asked Mr. Blitz
if be would be kind enorlgh to ac
company bim over to a certain
ten minutes toe two rare osbred io-
jio an appanmeni wnere ibj, upon a
i bed. ebildr whose koHeer eyes and
waa face told of approaching dissolu
tion. Tbe gentleman then informed
Signor BliU tbat ' the infant's illnes
waa generated at bis exhibition in
Roeelie, while be waa exhibiting his
birds. Then be explsioed bow thp

Great tears camo into ibo magi
cian's eyes as looked upon the child
and beard ber implore him 'jnst to
let ber look upon tbe little birds be
fore ebe died." He hastened away
and aoon returned with tbe dove and
four canaries. , Tbe- childish , face
brightened in an instant; and as Btia
beid tbe dove aloft upon bis finger a
moment, it looked at the little face
below, and then, as if it knew tbe
cause of her misery, raised its wing
and fluttered downward, laying its
glossy feathers close to the pale
check's of tbe ardent lover. Blitz
would take no money for tbe birds
but presented tbem to tbe child
without further ado, and it is need-
; less to say that abe shortly after fully
recovered her strength. She lived
to thank Signor Blitz personally for
his kindness. Tbe dove snd' Ibe
child still live, but Signor !iu is no
more.

Tintoretto an Italian painter, in tbe
picture of tbe Children of Israel gath
ering manna, bas taken tbe precau
tion to arm tbem with tbe modern in
vention of guns. Cigoli painted tbe
sired Simeon at tbe circumcision of
tbe infant Savior; and, a aged men
in these days wear spectacles, tbe ar
tist bas shown bis sagacity by pla
cing tbem on oimeon's nose. . in a
picture by Verria, of Christ bealing
tbe sick, tbe lookers-on are represen
ted a standing itb periwigs oo
their beads. To maicb, or rather, to
exceed this ludicrous representation,
Ilurer has painted the expuieioa of
Adam and Eve from tbe Garden ot
Eden by an angel iu a dress fashiona
bly trimmed witb flounces. -Tbe
same painter, in his scene of Peter
deoying Christ, represents a R mao
soldier very cotmoriaoiy smosing a
pipe of tobacco. j
A Dutch painter ,tn a picture of tbe
wise men worshiping tbe Holy Cbild,
bas drawn ooe of bem in a large
white surplice, aod in bots.and
spurs, and is in tbe act of presenting
to tbe child a model of a Dutcb man
of-war. In a Dutcb picture ot A bra
bam offering up his son, instead of
the patriarch's "stretching forth bis
band and taking bis knife," as tbe
Scripture informs us, he is represen
ted Ubing a more effectual instrument
bets holding to Isaac's head a
bluderb. Derli represents in a
picture tbe Virgin and the Cbild lis
tening to a violin: and ia another
picture be bas drawn King David
playing the barp at the marriage of
Christ to Catharine. A French ar
tist has drawn, witb true French
taste, tbe Lord's Supper, with ibe ta
ble ornamented with tumblers filled
cigar-lighters-, and, as if to crown tbe
liHt ol tbe absurd and ludicrous anach
ronism, tbe Uarden of taenia drawn
with Adam and Ere in their prime
val simplicity and virtue, while near
tbem, in full costume, is seen a bun
ter with a gun shooting docks.
