A siMMKn KOMW'CF.. An idle boat, with iJle oars, float ing idly down with the current of a calm, smooth lake, on whose placid breast the moonlight played at will. Such the picture, had one been a rnere spectator to the mimic scene; but to the two actor?, surroundings were lost Fight of they thought onl v of themselves. Mocking tire moon rays, when they planeed upward, they vonl'l MvVn the 1-nnk aovc tbeni (lie twinkling light of the villa and hear the merry voices and gay laugh ter of the group from which they had escaped. Arch smiles had passed iK-twecn its members as thev had seen Sid ney Allison and Bayard Hunter stroll off arm in arm to where the little boat was moored. The women had almost ceased to lc jealous of Sidney, or to ask where lav her charm. W hen blie excrcis d' her fascination men bowed be fore her first from necessity, then from choice. Uut, though her victims were countless, she was twenty-three, and Sidnev Allison still. However, this time she had encountered (the little girl at Mrs. Graham's villa said) a loeman worthy of her steel. What she was among men, Ilay ardIIuntcr was among women. Therefore, seeing these two brought beneath the same roof, and thrown into daily intercourse, rumor was rife, and singulation awaited results with bated breath. Meantime, the little Wt floated calmly on the quiet surface of the lake. "Miss Allison!" It was the first word either had spoken in full five minutes. She glanced up at the speaker. The white lace thrown careless uton her dark hair, out from which peer- ed the beautiful, pale lace, Jent Her some of the moon's mystic charm ; but meeting the magnetic gaze of the dark, earnest eyes bent upon her, hers Ml for an instant; then as though ashamed of the momentary weakness, again shot a questioning look into Mr. Hunter's face. Miss Allison," he repeated, slow ly, "did you know that we were in danger?" "In danger?"' Her cheek grew a shade paier. She glanced up at the blue vault where sailed so majestically the (Soddess of Night down into the dark depths of the waters, only to see Luna's brilliancy reflected there around, alxuit her. Not a leaflet stirred. "No," he said, in answer to her look, "not from any of these. The moon, the wind, the water, all are our friends to-night We are in danger from other things." Oh, how she prayed the moon might fail to make apparant the in stant flushing of blood to her cheek! She felt it glow, like a warm, crim son rose, even while she raised her little head almost defiantly, as though to hurl a challenge at his audacity. Men had made love to her in many forms, but always as suppli cants. This man dared suppose her in equal danger with himself! "You deal in enigmas, Mr. Hun ter," she returned haughtily. "I am accustomed to plain speech." "llather say that plain sjeech is an unknown tongue, and that I am the first man who has dared speak frankly. Would you have me more open still ? You shall have your wish. A week longer under the same roof with you, a week more of exposure to your maddened fascin ation and my ship would go to wreck and ruin on the bar ; unless " he leaned nearer, his voice grew softer, more full of tender feel ing, and his hand fell on hers very lightly, but with caressing crace, "unless, Sidney, you would let it float your pennon and guide it into the safe harbor of your love." She had leen wooed many times, in many climes, by many men, but naught had ever moved her as this wooing, on this moonlight night in June. Yet this man dared tell her that in another week this all might come to pass. Others had sworn to go from her presence to put an end to the exist ence she had rendered miserable ; or had vowed that henceforth wo man's smile would be gall and wormwood; or pleaded that she had shorn their manhood of its strength, and rendered their life a burden. This one did none of these things, While his strength yet was his, he saw and met the danger. "A week hence she said to her self bitterly, "and the flame might singe him. Now his wings are all unscortched. He docs not say "1 love you!' 4In time I might love you. Was he then to win so easy a vic tory ? Not so. "Iiet us go home," she interrupt ed, with a little shiver. "It is grow ing chilly. "Sidney, is this my answer?" "Your answer?" with an assump tion of surprise. I was not aware of any question." "You shall not even have this excuse. Will you be my wife ?" His voice was stern now stern to harshness and his grasp tighted cm her hand. "You hurt me, Mr. Huntet," she complained, petulantly, making an effort to withdraw her finger. Instantly lie released her. "I see that 1 have hurt you," he returned, courteously, and took up the idle oars. "Fardou me," he con tinued, "I will not do it again." A few bold strokes, and the boat's keel grated on the shore. Ten min utes later, and the two reappeared in their hostess' tastefully appointed salon. A group ol men instantly gather ed about Miss Allison. Never had her laugh rang out more clearly, her gay sallies of wit and repartee been more sparkling ; but ever from time to time, her eye roved rest lessly to the ojen window, where, on the parterre beyond, shone the red light from a man's cigar. It was still there, still gleaming, when she had gone up to her own room. She crossed to the window to pull down the shade, but stood a minute, fascinated, motionless. "After to uight lie will forget me," she murmured sadly. "And I I shall remember him forever!" Then, as though a sudden truth had burst upon her, she drew down the shade to throw herself, with quick impetuous motion, prone upon the couch, and weep the first heart tears she had ever shed. "The drama has ended Miss Al lison has refused him !" This was the general verdict when, twenty four hours later, Bayard Hunter bade his hostess adieu, and with drew to town on a plea of sudden business. Of course the news reached Sid ney's car. "I have not refused him," she said, aloud. "Not even that satis faction is mine," she 6aid to herself "nor ever will W! It was only 'the might have been !' He was not the man, she knew full well, to plunge desperately into flirtation, or associate his name at once with another woman's or to re tire later or rise earlier or in any wav disturb the even tenor of his way. The diflerence between them was only this his heart was heal ing, jierhaps already healed, but he would bear its scar to the grave, hers was a festering sore, which hurt the more that she had hi the physi cian who might work iU cure, pass her by. The Summer waned to a close. Nature had lent autumn ita won drous paint box and magic brush, and mountain and hillside were con verted thereby into glorious beauty. Then came King Frost, first to heighten by his touch, then to kill, followed by Winter's lagging foot steps, mercifully bearing the exquis white shroud of snow to cover up all signs of devastation and decay. The season in the gay world was at its height Occasionally, mur murs among the debutantes for its honors arose at tlio fact that, though it was Miss Allison's fourth winter, her former success paled in its most cflulgent light She and "Bayard Hunter constint ly met She almost wished he might avoid her, but at their first chance encounter he had approach ed with outstretched hand. "How charming you arc looking, Miss Allison," he sa'id. And all in vain she had watched for a tremor in his tone, or shadow of embarrassment in his manner. "Only a week letwecn him and shipwreck!" she thought, bitterly. "Ah, he has sailed so far from the fatal rock, that doubtless he would now laugh at its supposed danger ; and I Iwas weak and vain enough to think he stood upon the preci pice's brink." The new year had come, and one evening Sydney stood alone in her father's drawing room, looking out at the fast gathering d.nkncss, when through its sombre otiadc she saw a figure pas3 and mount the steps, "A visitor!" she uttered wearily ; then waited the inevitable announce ment she knew must follow. But spite of her every effort, she started when the servant throwing own the door, uttered Mr. Hunter's name. Oh, how glad she was that the rooms were not lighted as she went forward to receive him ! "May I welcome vou in darkness?" she questioned. . ... ... 1 t.T "As you will," he answered, i have but a few moments to stay. I am come to bid you good-bye, and to ask vou to wish me bon voyage." "Bou vovage! You are going abroad?" "Yes ; I sail on Saturday. I hes itated aboi.t calling, but my desire to see you led me to believe you would pardon my audacity in sup nosinz my eoing a question of enough moment to make it worthy a special call." "My friends are always welcome, Mr. Hunter. I did not suppose it necessary you should hear that re peated now." "Nor is it It was only morbid fancy on my part which induced me to question it I shall come back I trust, with my mind clearer. At least I shall be some years older. When I return I presume I shall look for Miss Allison in vain, until I find her in some matron, equally charming. "I cannot imagine her ouite staid and portly." So he could tqak thus lightly of her becoming the wile ot anotner man? And he was going away ; 6he might never again hear his voice or see his face. It was too cruel ! He and fate were too strong for her. The tears gathered in the gray eyes but the darkness hid them. " He rattled on she had no need to speak. Then he rose to go. "Good-bye, Miss Allison !" he took her hand in both liis "good bye? God bless you!" " Was it her fancy that just at the last, his voice trembled? He crossed the room ; he had gained the door. Another instant, he would be gone another instant, it might too late. "Bayard !". she said, softly. Two strides it seemed, brought him back to her. "You called me? For what? To make my going harder?" "Oh, is it hard? In mercy tell me, for my own heart is breaking!" "Your heart breaking! Sidney, Sidnev! what does this mean?" But the sound of her sobs was the only answer. "Child he continued, "can it be that I have judged you wrongly ? Ix)ok up, my darling! Is it your wish that 1 should stay?" Then she found her voice. "I thought you did not love me enough," she murmured. "But stay, ami I will try to make you love me more : or if you must go, take me with you." June had given place to January, and warmth to cold, but where was coldness now was warmth, and the Winter moon was happier than the early June crescent lor in Sydney Allison's heart was the song of birds and the fragrance of flowers, ming ling with the words which stole soft ly into her ear while nestling in her lover's arm the words.

See adv. j Y'psialnti, Mich.,) Commercial An Intricate Proposition. "Did it ever npicar to you, my dear, that a person going overland would have to mail two letters a day from the train in order to have one letter a day return to San Francis co ?" asked Major Max the other evening after the cloth was removed from the table, and his wifo was pouring his glass of two-thirds ben edictine and one-third curacoa, which the Major contended was the only civilized drink with which to prepare for the after-dinner cigar. Mrs. Max passed the Major his cordial, and waited a moment be fore replying : "Why, no ; it seems to me that if a person traveling cast mailed a letter each day by a westward-bound train a letter would ar rive here each day." Mrs. Max answered cautiously, for while she kiiw that the Major pretended to deplore the fact that he was illogical, ho really derived much comfort from his superior comprehension, and was somewhat addicted to studying out intricate propositions with which to puzzle the lady. "You think so.do you ?" queried the Major, as though about to be convinced by her, while in truth he only wanted her to commit herself more decidedly, that his victory would be the more signal. "Why, yes," Mrs. Max continued, somewhat assured, "if you mailed a letter on the first da v out, it would get here on the next day ; if you mailed one the day following it would arrive here the day after the first, and the letters, being mailed 24 hours apart, would, of course, continue to arrive here a day apart. They couldn't grow further apart on j the road, could they Major ?" Mrs. Max woundup this sequence of feminine logic with a triumphant accent, and felt sure she had posed the Major, for he did not reply un til after lighting a cigar. Then he said slowly, "You post a letter the first day out ?" "Yes!" "That letter arrives here the day after you leave ?'' Certainly. One day gone, one letter received." "Exactly. Well, the next day a little caracoa, straight, please the next day you post another letter from the train, and " "And that arrives here the day af ter the first of course, making two days out and two letters received, and so on to New York. Kh, Ma jor Ji .Mrs. Max had not been exam ining a new pattern of lace she had in her sleeves she might have notic ed the satisfied smile the Major had as he leaned back in his ( hair and said : "The second da y out vou would be at Oirden ?"' "Yes." "Wouldn't it tike as long for a letter to return to Snn Francisco as it had it had taken vou to go Og den?" "I suppose so." "Then the second Jotter would ar rive here two days after you arrived at Ogden, and four days after you left here ?" Mrs. Max looked up and said, hesitatingly : "Well, I don't see how you make that ou." "I do not make it out, Mrs. Max. I only asked you if I was right" "No, you are not ; if you post a letter on a returning train each day, I say that a letter must arrive here each day, and I don't care.'' 'Mrs. Max, how long does it take to go to New York ?" '"Seven days, I suppose." "Then a letter a day would be seven letters. You would post your sixth letter on your sixth day out, and it would take it six days more to return, being twelve days af ter you left here. Now, as you had only mailed five letters before the one which arrived on the twelfth day, how could a letter a day have arrived ?" Mrs. Max thought a moment, and than asked with considerable warmth ; "Do you mean to say, Major Max, that if a person going to New York posts a letter on a San Francisco-bound train each day, that it tikes two weeks for all those letters to arrive here ?" "It certainly would," replied the Major, glowing comfortably behind his cigar. He knew Mrs. Max ac knowledged her defeat by the way 6he rang for the tea, but she would not ask for further explanation. &m Francigro Chnmicle. Twptity Square Milixol Wlieat.

PoTTSTOw.v, August 19. While five men were working in an ore mine 200 feet deep at Warwick, Chester county, yesterday, a keg ol powder in being hoisted to the top of the shaft fell from the basket, and alighting below was exploded, by a spark from a miner's candle.

During Causenr's stay two cuests were entertained at tea i n" d to both of I'lcm men of means wide aeo i.,int:ine accustonici all the lu.Miry that wealth can give. But they were widely different in their behavior. The first dwelt upon the fact that the house was in an out-of-the-way place and that there were few or no neighbors. At the tabic he told of the delicious tea he had drank at the house of one friend, of the rich tea service he had seen upon the table of another, of the rare old china that was used in I113 own household, and of the dain ty meals he had eaten from iu lit the cramped little sitting-room after tea he sat by the stove and talke'd of the delights of an open wood fire, of his enjoyment of rare and costly books and pictures, and of the 20 other things that the host, of whose hospitality he had partaken, did not and could not possess. When he had gone it was clear, although nothing was said that his visit had cost pain, that it had made the wife feel her limited circumstances more keenly than ever and cast a shadow over her husband. The next evf n ing came the other visitor. He brought good cheer in his very face. The room, he said, felt 60 warm and comfortable after his walk which, he added, was just the thing to give a man a good appetite for supper. At the table he spoke of everything that was nice, congratulated his host upon havingsuch a snug little home, apologized for eating so much, but couldn't help it, because it was so 'good' and tasted so 'homelike,' lik ed the old black teajot because it was just like the one his mother had when he was a boy. and told his hostess, who was all smiles and happy as a queen, that she ought to thank hei stars that she had no gas or furnace to ruin the flowers that made her room look so cheer ful. After tea he insisted that the children should not be sent to bed just yet, said he wanted to tell them a story, as he did ; and when he had done, and had kissed them good night, they trudged off up stairs with beaming faces, under the guid ance of a mother who felt that a real ray of sunshine had entered her home, making it better and happier. lou't Use llijr AVoiiN.
