"At home they culle.1 her Mrs. Mor ilaunt, hut here she is la-Hcr known an Hiina Man's Huff.'" Such was tlie reply tnaile to nie hy my fru-iKl, Tom I'ark-r, iu answer to a u,ue---tion tu-kisl with some warmth ami en rthasiiLsm ar we were leaving the little railway station har l hy the Kiiri Kaltha.l on our w ay Ui the hureau of the hot.-l to make iniiuiry for hod ami Ix wnl. A tall, hati'L-ouie man wait at that 1110- ment a.lvan'-ing towanl us, an.I on his; i arm leaneit a girl ol some t Aenty stini mers a girl in vears, but with a certain air an.I dignity alxnit her ahith pr ihtituevl her a uiarriesi woman. They were a r-trikin an.I dL-4inguislieJ I'lokiu-j air ; but the man, though strongly built and in the prime of life, moved with a nervous and hesitating step, and now and ttu-n he stoppevl short in his walk until em-ouratred to pnsxtsl by the guiilanee of the beautiful w oman by his wide. " We are indeed (tLuI you have oome," said the lady orlutlly to my friend ad she -shook hand with him. "Jai k w jrrotting verv tirvsl of lutving only poor little me for a companion, and tlie Km;- j lish here at present are few and fur be tween." The siicut pressure of her ha-lutnd's arm which taceoinpauied this remark sliowe.1 more tliau volumes of words could have .lone the devotion existing Isitween them. The pair formed a pretty picture he dark, bruad-slvouidered, w ith the limbs of an athlete ; she hazel -eyed, and very fair. I lutd gathered from my friend's r inark about" I'.lind Man's Buff" that Mr. Mordaunt was blind, but one would not have guessed it from the appearance of his eyes. There was no film upon them ; they were soft and luminous. It was only when they turned fall upon one's self that one noticed that they Were vacant and expn-stiionlesiv. His face in repose was very sad, but at the voice of his young wife a smile would break about his lips tlutt was joyous, tender, full of love, his w hole beeing seeming Co change and his lace to liecome transfigured by its brightness." " What charming people," said I to my friend as we passed on and mounted tlie flight of steps that led to the terrace of the kaltbad- "Tell me, has he always been blind V " It is a sa.1 story and a long one," said Tom. " I will tell it to you to-night over our evening pipe. It has always seemed to me a sjvecies of prjfanity to relate the story of ' Blind Man's Buff,' save when free from interruption and out of reach of vulgar ears." In the magnificent a!m, all white and gold, in which four hundred guests sat down to dinner at the Kaltbad.it was my gissl fortune to sit immediately op posite ' Blind Man's Buff' and her hus band. My interest in them kindled to enthusiasm ; and in the tender twilight, as the last hues of of ruse-color were tid ing from the snow-capped Als in front of us, Tom CarU-r told me the story of their love. "In August, a year ago," said Tom, as he puffed leisurely at his cigar, " I came to the Kaltbad with Jack Mordaunt, who w as an old college friend of mine, and here we both met Eliiiabeth Ihdryuiple, more commonly called Buff, for the first time. Jack was a jolly dog then hand some, careless and gay and Buff was a slip of a girl, up to every mischief under heaven. "Mordaunt waa not blind then?" I asked. " Blind ? Bless your heart, no ! Jack had as wicked a pair of eyes as ever flashed with pa.-eioti or softened with love. The women smiled on him, raved about him, Uarreied over him all but " Buff" I -airy tuple. She snublsd him. " He does not look the sort of a man to stand being sntibUsl," said I as there rose In-fore my mind's eye a vision of a reso lute, mouth, a square chin and a face, the chief charm r.f w hich lay iu its evident powerand self-control. " It chafed him horribly ; but w hat could he do t Buff Dalryuiple's beautiful face had taken hint clean off of his bal ance at first sight. The more site repell ed hi advances the stronger his passion grew. He would fetch anil carry for her like a dog. She would leave her paint box at Ka.iili, or her shawl at the Kuhm and - -! 'let- poor beggar back in all sorts f we : :.t to fetch her things she had ptjrs .a ly left behind. Sometimes I m- 'TileI by the sun, sometimes he wc drenched by the rain, an I his re ward was usually a half contemptuous nod f thanks which nsed to make my blood boil. She was a fascinating little witch certainly, with ber hazel eyes and auburn hair ; but really I grew to hate her I did, indeed the made such a tool of Jack. " How then did this change come about T" said I, as I thought of the loving pressure of the arm, tliat I had noticed when t first met the pair. " (n-ntly, gently ; harry no man's cat tle. Let we tell my story in my own way. Miss Dalrymple was an only child and an heiress. Her mother waa dead. omer SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, Her father a man w ho had made hji nK-ney in hu-siiiewH and had bought land in more than one country naturally looked high for his only child, and even dreamed of a coronet. "At the time I am speaking of there was an Italian Manhe-se staying here, a parrntu, it is true, but a good-looking fel low enough, with a glib tongue, a suave manner and a tenor voice. He waa quite a 'new man ' in Rome, and the Italians who were here at the name time, and who for the mottt part belonged to the Vatican party, with old Dalrytnple toadied him ad huhmuih, and Dalrymple used to gi about the irroands of the K alt bad singing the praises of hia yUEg friend the Marvhene Ciiini, to every one he met. " I think it wan to vex Mordaunt rather than from any other reasxm, tlutt Mi.-w Ihilrj-mple encourage.1 the young Ital ian's attentions, for to do the girl ju-jtice she had not an atom of her father's vul garity, and was always unaffected and downrighL " Mordaunt was jealous, madly jealous. He had not a sixpem-e of his own. He was an artist by profeisfioti, and very far from being iu the front rank of any school. His pictures were merely pretty; they would not sell; while his father, who was a country i-arsou with a large family of children, could render him no aj--iLtnce. He knew well enough from the first that in auch circumstances, even had the girl herself shown wgns of yield ing to his hot pursuit, the old gentleman would have considered it alrnont an in Mttlt had l.e made a formal oiler for his daughter's hand. "The Italian meanwhile was making the running fast. He warbled lovesuiigs by the hour, playing his own aivoaipajii uieuls, and fixing his dreamy eyes on liuif, a itii ail that suppreswsl passion that Italians U-yona all ottn-rs, cau so well leign. "The Marchese Cellini was an accom plished man. Jack Mordaunt was not a.-coinplishel. He could paint a bit, it is frue, but he knew nothing of music, and could scarcely distinguish the ' lead Marx-h in Saul' from Mi.vl Save the tiueen.' Those musical niorninge were a gall of bitterness to Jack. At least he could stand the strain no longer, and he resolved to know his fate from Miss Ihd rymple's own fair lips. He spoke his mind with all that tierce energy which characteriu.il Jack's actions and made him idolized ly women by all excepting lutf. I was sitting oue glorious afternoon, in one of those cosy n.aiks in the wilder ness, reading hiida's last novel, when I heard steps approaching from the direc tion of the Kan.li, along the upper iatb. I had chosen a spot sheltered by the thickest foliaire, w hich hid me entirely from view. There was, however, a gap in the trees alrtive nie from which, through a frame in the boughs, could be seen one of the most perfect views to be obtained anywhere upon the Kigi Mountain. The fisjtsteps approached the gapand stopped. For a few moments there was silence ; then I heard Mordaunt' voice, in pas sionate pleading first, and then in pro found desjiair. I did not hear his words. io d-jubt they were no more fraught w ith wisdom than those of most lovers an, but his tone went to my heart. There was such a tremor in his voice and now and auin a sound that w as almost a sob sveiue.1 to choke his utu-rance. Then I heard a little mocking laugh. The ft steps passed and died away, and I knew that Jack Mordauut had been re fused. " I never knew a fellow so wretched in all my life as Monlaunt was tliat night. He took me into his confidence. I tried to comfort him, but one might as well have tried to give comfort to the dead. " I heljasl him pack his traps, for he could not, would not stay, and the next morning 1-efore the Kaltbad world was stirring Mordaunt had departed to an other hostelry. " Mordaunt had no sooner gone than Buff I alry tuple's manner toward ber Italian suitor completely changed. She no longer gave him the slightes encour agement; indeed, she snubbed him so unmercifully that his southern nature took quick offense, and there was a very pretty quarrel between them. It ended as such things usually end when a girl permits the attentions of one man to stir the jealousy ot another. The Marchese Celliui proposed and was rejected re jected, too, in such unmistakable terms as to lesve no nsnn for a second appeal. He departed from toe Kaltbad in a whirl wind of passion. Old Ialryuiple was fu rious with his daughter, and poor Buff herself was as miserable as even C'elini could have desired. " Not long after the Marchese's depart ure a picnic was organized to some rocks of a pieture-que character in the neigh borhood of the Klosterli. Mr. Ihilrymple and his .laughter were of the party, and I went also. " When we reached the spot where we had intended to lunch we were unpleas antly surprised to find it already occu pied by a party of people from theSchei deck, among w bom was Jack Mor.lauut himself. There were many of each set, however, w ho were jiersonally known to individuals of tlie other set, and the two parties eventually amalgamated and con tributed the contents of their respective haiuj-ers to the general meal. I saw Buff change color when she first noticed Jack among the Scheideck party. He bowed to her, but he did not speak. There was a settled sadness on his hand some face, and his bright, bold eyes look ed reproachfully into her's w hen he rats- ' ed his hat as he passed. - " Not a word could I get from Buff Dal rymple so long as the meal continued. After lunch a walk was proposed up the hill to the Rigi-Staffel, and it waa sug gested that on the way we should visit a rift in the rocks where the dark blue gen tian and the mountain ash flourished in more than usual luxuriance. " I constituted myself Buff" s escort. She vouchsafed me hardly a word. Not far behind. Jack Mordaunt was piloting the stout relict of a Frankfort Jew, who w as bending all her energies to catch Jack on the rebound. " Presently we came to the fissures in the rocks, a precipitous chasm some iorty feet deep, from the sides of which sprang quantities of the coveted blue gentian, larger and finer, it was said, than any that could be found elsewhere upon the mountain. Successive tourists had pluck ed all the flowers within reach, and the s et ESTABLISHED 1827. beautiful bells seemed to mock us defi antly from tlie narrrw ledges of rock which no human foot could safely tread. " The atmosphere had darkened visi bly as we ascended the hill. Black clouds were coming np swiftly against the wind. As we neared the chasm where the gen tians grew the sky became everywhere overcast, and there was that peculiar stillness in tlie air which surely heralds an Alpine storm. "Buff Ihilrymple was bending down over the edge of the chasm, vainly at I tempting to reach a tuft of gentians which grew on a ledge of the rock below. Unable to gather them, she turned ap pealingly to nie. I tried to gather them, but in vain. Even my long arms could not touch their topmost bells. " 'I think I could get them for you, Miss Dalrymple,' said Jack's voice behind us. ' Let me try.'

She rose with a goodly bouquet of the lovely flow ers. The pair sUasi facing each other on the ledge, and, as the man otl'cnsl his bunch of gentians to the girl their eyes met, and a look loving, so tender, dashed across Jack's face that no woman on earth could misinterpret it.

AUGUST 8, 1887. THE NATION'S FINANCIERS. From Alsxandar Hamilton to Charles S. Fairchild. Charles S. FairchiM, if New York is the thirty-eighth secretary of the treasu ry. The first Alexander Hamilton, also of New York, was appointed at the age of thirty-two years. The second, Oliver Wolcott Jr., was secretary from February 2, 179-i, to December 31, 1800, was thirty five years of age when he took the place of Hamilton. Samuel Dexter, of Massa chusetts, who was the third secretary of the treasury, was forty years of age when appointed, aud so was Albert Gallatin, Iexter"s successor. Campbell, Crawford, Rush, McLane, Woodbury, Walker, Bris tow and Fairchild, were all between forty and fifty years of age when ap pointed. Bristow was only forty-one when he w as called to take charge of the treasury in 1174, Fairchild was forty-four when he. succeeded Manning, and he stands sixth in the order of youtlifulness from Hamilton, Dallas, Ingham, Taney Ewing, Forward, Spencer, Meredith, Cor win, Thomas, Cobb, Chase, Fessenden, McCuIloch, Boutwell, Richardson, Sher man, Windom, F'olger, Oresham and Manning were each between fifty and sixty when made secretary. It ht curious that s-herman, Windom, F'olgerand Man ning were each fifty -four w hen appointed' succeev ling each other with the break only in the case of tiresham between Folger andiMaiining. Win. J. Duane, of New York, who was the eleventh secretary of the treasury, and who was appointed iu Mav, 1SJ3, was seventv-three when he t.a.k office, tieoroe M. Bibb, the seven teenth-secretary, was seventy-two when amsjinted. The other secretaries who took oltiee when they were beyoud sixty- were Dix, Outline, and Morrill, though McCuliouch, who was first appointed in l-v), at tlie age of fifty-seven, was the only secretary recalled after the ofiice had been occupied by other secretaries. and when he was recalled in 1W-4 he was seventy-six years of age, having been in vited to the ponition at an age exceeding by three years that of the oldest person ever appointed to the place. Gallatin held the oliice for nearly twelve years, or through the eight years' administra tion of Jefferson, and part of that of Mad ison. Crawford served eight years and four months, beginning with Madison and serving through the term of Monroe. Woodbury, who cauie in un.ler Jackson, remained in oliice six years and eight montlis, l-eing retained by Van Buren. Hamilton served five years and five months, and his successor, Wolcott, held otlice five years and ten months. No secretiiry since Woodbury has held over tlie term of the president who first ap pointed him. McCuIloch served four years and four months, and was the only secretary recalled to office after other sec retaries had held tlie place and retired. The shortest term was that of Secretary l'hilip Francis Thomas, of Maryland, who w as called in by Buchanan when Howell Cobb seceded, and w ho held the office just one month and two days. General Iix, Thomas success, .r, held the uttice one month and twenty-five days, and Gresham held it one month aud four days. Baxter was in office four months. Ewing held the secretaryship six months, and Duane was only four months in of fice, roister was two vears and nine months secretary, and Manning complet ed his second year with good measure. The Sex of the Satan. The sex of the devil is no longer in doubt, at least in the mind of one female school-teacher, of whom the Syracuse J.mntal te.ls the follow ing : There is a young woman teaching in one of the city school who, if her power of persuasion eouals her zeal, will work discord among the sexes, annihilate matrimonial prospects, and pro. luce a decide lly u bear ish" effect on the man market. If she were a l.jminie at Andover she would be on trial for heresy within a week. A few davs aito one of her pupils, a snulf- n,t schoolboy, undertook the herculean eifort of parsing this sentence : "And the devil hall be chained for a thousand years." The outlook was that his satan ie majesty's entanglement would U-gi" before the tairsinu ended. But the boy finally got tlie devil w here, no doubt, all the listening class and the nervous leat h er devoutly wished him.

One day a half-grow n boy came into the store, and after hanking around, pric ing first one thing and another, among which were some very nice socks, he finally starte.1 to go out of the d.wr. At this moment the new clerk tonched him on the shoulder, and inviting him to come to the back part of the store, said to him, politely, " Oblige me by giv ing me at once tlie socks that you have in your back pocket." " How do you know I have any ks in my back pocket?" demanded the boy, in a bold tone. " I saw you put them there," said the clerk, very gently. The boy Uroked up into the young man's face ir utter amazement. "Are you looking at me now?" he asked, earnestly. " Do yoa see me this very minute?" he asked still more earnestly. "Of course I do," replied the clerk.

So, early in the morning the woman trade the scythe and went out into the , meadow with tlie rest to mow. i The man w as there to work in the ; house. First he made ready to chum, ; but after churning awhile, feeling very 1 thirsty, he went down to the cellar to tap ' some cider. AV'hile doing this he heard the pig in in the kitchen. He ran up : stairs leaving the faucet open. At the ) first sight of him the pig ran against the i churn with very disastrous consi-qucrices. ; When the man saw this uii.schi.-f done and the pig greedily smacking and sip ping the stream that ran over the floor, he was ready lo fly off with ra, and en tirely forgetting the cider barrel, he punished the pig as best he could.
