HIS MATCH.
Ever'budr Kii that Orpliie Fn-ncb
was crazy to think of marrying Hector
HuDier. In the first place he waa btI'L
i He was :(.' and Lrrpbies only 1H. In tbe
next he was a widower with four chil
dren, m h-jilm-s hfinif an only chihl, was
nniiseil to chiMtvn.l And laxtlr, he? was
the wt-!d-grainei, tiKwt miserly man
that ever exit"L
Every one in Millwood knew him.
They knew he had been the means of
his first wife's finding an early grave;
and now he wanted to break Misa
French's lieart ; pretty, d:uijleI, brown
eye.1 Orphic, the j'riJe of the village,
and tlie aUuiiration of alL
How site came tochooie a surly, eluIi
man like Hector Hunter was a wonder
to everylKly. It was well known that
Moetwd, atinny-fat-ed Charlie Ctiet-r
ptKxi ready to Uy dow n Lis life for her
sake, and that James Singleton had of
fered bimseif to her at least thre
tiniest.
Either would have been conxidered a
good match, and yet it was quite evident
tiiat Hector Hunter was the man she
loved, and she bad been known to watch
betsidebim day and night when be was
ill, and refuse all food till ebe was sure
be was oat of tlanjrer.
Yes, Mi. French did love bim. She
w as engagesl to biin, too, and that sunny
morning in June was to witness her
bridal. ; , ' ' . . . J .' -..
She was to be mairied in the little
cboreti w!i-re cbe had been Ibaiptlasl, in
the presence of those who Lad known
aud loved lier froiu a ehild. - ,
So what was really noliody's busines
was everybody's biisine, and proved
iLaj topic of conversation throughout the
entire village. '
All ber girl friends pitied her ; all her '

Kathic, hnrriedly removing their brown

Mr. Hunter, staring at bis young wite as

to the children's astonish merit, and,
if the troth be told, to his own as welt.

Catching the little one in the round,
white anus bare to the elbow, and dolled
here and tlte re with patches of flour, Ur
pbieat danced out into the woxaJshed, fol
lowed by thai grumbling Hector and the
amused children.
" I hdnt I tell yon father had found his

brother. " He never did this in his life,
and yet he doesn't say a wonl ; I'm giad

"If she keeps on tbe way she has be

when people began to Iwk for open war ;
but if there was any the voting wife kept
ittoherseif. '
To be sure, life was not all sunshine,
but she hail expected a few rainy days
would creep in.
She bad married Hector Hunter in
spite of the reputation lie bore. Why
she had done so no one knew, but proba
bly Orphies did, for in spite of the appar
ent dreariness of her lot she was sunny,
sweet-tempered and happy in her new
home, just as she had been In her
old.
True to her word, Orphies went to
work to enlarge the dining-room. Abe
had painters and carpenters, masons
aud plumbers, till Mr. Hunter was be
side himself with rage, and threatened
to go away if that Mate of afiairs contin
ued. Orphies calmly listened to all bis
sj-ecbea ; and w hen the room was fin
ished to ber sutiidaction, pulled bUeasy
chair into the most comfortable comer,
brought out a new pair of slippers and
foot-oiAsd, then presented him with the
bill and tbe iuot charming kiss in the
world. Strange to "say be paid the for
mer without a word, and returned the
latter with interest
Still holding her tight but invisible
rein, and atoning fur ber harsh lueaeurea
by the iiiost loving cares, Orphies at
length succeeded in subduing her unruly
steed and getting him to bend to the
yoke.
But ber ideas of improvement did not
end with the enlargement of the dining
room. A two-Story V was added the fol
lowing spring. The parlor was refur
nished, and a great piano for Arthur's
special use was brought from the city.
"My children shall be taught to lore
their home," said tbe determined little
mother when ber husband battled against
w hat lie called a foolish piece of extrav
agance. " Rosa Bell is quite old enough
to go into society. Young Tomlinson is
partial to her, and I had rattier have him
feel free to call where lean have a chance
of judging of bis character than to en
deavor to meet ber on the street corners
or at the villas pootultice. Books and
music have an ennobling influence over
the young, and I had rather have Arthur
master of the plan than of the billiard
table. In order to keep our boys and
girls we must exert ourselves to pleas
them. Give the husks at home, and they
will most assuredly seek tbe wheat else
where." ...
To this speech Mr. Hunter replied in
curt, but decisive words. He guessed be

as to having his house tilled with com

wife.
Though young in years, Orphies was a
a L-s little wotnau. Never as much as " I
told you so" passed her lips. Calmly
accepting the burden, she carried it along
as an ttad intended to do when Fate
gave her Hector Hunter for a husliand.
And th man whom all the villagers bad
feared on account of his crabbed new said
never a word. Books, papers, music and
paintings found their way intohis home.
His house was always open to the young
and the old always welcome to the wartn
est place beside bis hearth.
When Rosa Bell's engagement with
young Tomlinson became public, and
people congratulated him on his enter
prising son-in-law, he smiied -quietly.
When Arthur came home from college
loaded with honors, be blushed with
pride; and when Kathie received her
diploma, and wis pronounced capable of
taking a high rank as public school teach
er, he bugged himself with satisfaction.
Though always thoughtful and consid
erate of bis young wife, he was never
known to acknowledge her superiority
by word of mouth. Man-like, he refused
to give her her due, and the only praise
she ever received for ber trial and care

a considerable desrree he thought he
would explore Mexi"0 on fait.
I "p from the river Tobasco, in the ex
treme southeast of Mexico, there swtod at
the time of our story, an ivy entwined
cottage which was dignified by the term
inn. Having traveled considerably one
day, hot and fatigued, Suarex stopped at
this inn to refresh himself, and was soon
seated among the motely group of the
usual bangenton at such places of resort.
Finding that about two tuiies farther on
the road he should arrive at a small mar
ket town, where the accommodations for
the night of a much more convenient na
ture could be procured, he resolved to go
thither.
When he tik out his purse to pay bis
bill he casually exposed a quantity of
muncy, and the boors of the village who
surrounded tbe tahle looked upon the
wealth with avaricious eyes. While Su
arez counted out a certain sum he notic
ed a greedy-eyed, ill-looking fellow fix
his eyes upon hint and his purse in a
way that did not please bim.
Suarez sin took his departure and
proceeded leisurely on to his destination.
The evening beiran to close, ami on ar
rivir.cr at a dull part of the rood, over
hung by high bank, and covered with
furze and briars, he suddenly found him
self stunned by a blow by someone from
behind, and he fell insensible to the
grounL
When be became seia-conscbjus he
was bleeding and lying in a wet ditch,
half-drowned, apparently in bis own
blood. A man was leaning over him,
and hamanrfy endeavoring to assist him.
Finally be conclude! that Suarez was
dead, ami started off to make known his
discovery.
It was neariy dark when Suarex arous
ed himself and resnnied his tramp. His
clothes were wet thron'h, and after
washing himself he pnt on another suit
w hich be carried in a knapsack. He re
called the ill-looking fellow at the inn,
who cast such sinister glances at his mon
ey, and immediately suspected bim as
his assailant The fellow, however, had
not secured Suarez's money, and the lat
ter thought it very funny that the fellow
had not robbed htm, as the object of tbe
assault was undoubtedly robbery.
After a fatiguing walk Suarez arrived
at the inn in the aJjoiningtown.and had
scarcely taken his seat before be over
heard a conversation among several men,
stationed at the other end of the room ;
accompanied by expressive looks toward
him. As be was a stranr in the place
he was not jarticu?ar!y surprised. The
conversation soon tiecame louder, and at '
length, Suarez heard a strangely exagger
ated story of bis o n murder.
It was confidenUy asserted that a stran-
ger bad been robbed and uiumereu a
short distance from the town, and that
he had been found in a ditch with bis
skull fractured, his brains scattered about
the mad and his pockets turned inside
out Suarex listened to this marvelous
IiMory with considerable amnsement,
and thought how easily a strange story is
made to jiass current, though based on
the flimsiest of fact.
After tikingsonie refreshments Suarez
proposed to retire. and took a quantity
of money to pay in advance f r his ac
commodation. Ashe did so, one of t lie
party of men conversing bnivther, came
up to hint, and afU'r iinpU'ientiy gaing
into his face, turned to his com air. ions
and mysteriously whispered :
"There's Mood on this man's face. He
ha. got a qnantity of money. Where did
he come from? Who is be ?
Tbe crowd seemed exciV-d. and the old
fellow again approached Suarez, and ask
ed him where he bad gut the money 1
then in his possession, and sarcasticaily '
asked if such money grew on bushes. '
Being answered in a careless manner be
put his finger cunningly to his nose and
clusel scrutinizinz Suarez, remarked
aloud tiiat the latter had blood on his
face, and that his appearance was stitue
whatsrwpieiou. :
At this juncture tbe man who had
found Suarez in tLe ditch put in an ap-
ptatrancs and proceeded to relate bathe
most picturesque style, how he found a
strange man with his ku!T fractured and 1
his pockets turned inside out, lying in tbe
le J
iitcb, quite dead. He stated be went for
assisance to the village, and on inquir- !
ing at the inn there he had discovered
that a man dressed answering the de-

Let tbuse gi sl people, who preach so
strongly in favor of the comfortable feel
ings arising from conscious innocence,
and build so much on inward fortitude,
and who join in the declaration of the
poet, thai " what is is right "let them
place theotseive iWa moment in Suarez's
position let them feel the horrors of a
man charged w ith bis own murder, and
unable to convince the judges that he is
in existence. How obtuse are the intel
lects of niany worthy people, who, in the
eaeer pursuit of truth, bug to their hearts
any antics that uuiy chance to assume
the garb of that latvly discovered person
age! Already Suarez fancied in his gloomy
reflections that he heard the jury declare
him guilty: and In his dreams he saw the
fatal black rap placed over bis bead.
Then he fancied he heard his last dying
speech and con feisions chanted about the
streets, and posted on eottaire walls, and
children taught from reading them the
necessity of virtue. Then horrors of an
ignouiinoas death the halter the gal
lows the shouts of " monster" " murder
er," eu all echoing around him in his
imagination.
At 1enrth the accused man was placed
on trial. His own conviction of his per
sonal identity was complete, but would it
avail hiiu anything? The story on
which be had to depend was nothing in
the face of tbe evidence to be adduceL
Should he be allowed to set up himself as
tbe murdered man, when the witne?saw
bim dead, and the body was afterward
found in tbe canal? It was contrary to
rommi n sense, and would, of course, be
looked upon as the desperate attempt of
the hardoned villain to ba;!le the ends of
justice. The trial proceeded. The audi
ence shu'liieredas they hear! the glaring
facts. And, oh! what WAs of horror
and reproach were cast at the prisoner!
Prejudice, with her myriad ears, was
gaping on, and gulping down the palpa
ble story. Tbe witnesses rave their evi
dence w ith clearness and precision. The
landlord of the little public house where
Suarez firs slopped was called to prove
his having seen the dollars in the posses
sion of the murdered man when at bis
house. I hiring all the previous proceei'
this man had never before looked at
Suarez face to face : tint when he was
confronted with him be save an involun
tary start, and seemed unable to utter a
syllable. He fixvd his eyes intenUy on
the prisoner, and pointing to his own
cheek, stammered out:
" He is not guTty ! he L not guilty ! "
Hearing this exclamation, and seeing
bim point toh'is cheek, Suarez remember
ed taat he had a large scar on his own.
from a saler wound be received years be
fore; and w lien the witness gained bis
composure be pna-feded to identify
Suarez as the man who came to his house
with a quantity of money, on the even
ing of the 9uppanl mnrler, and asserted
that the prisoner could tie none other
than the suppostd victim of brutal vio
lence. But tbe !ly found in Uie canal had
it a scar lite Suarez's on the cheek? No
the w itness who found it remembered
it bad not. llp- dawnd on Suarez
warmly enough. He was called on for
his lefense. and told his tale .imply and
composedly, and his heart beat calmly.
The Jnil-.-e summed np briefly and di
rected the jury, as usual, that if there was
any doubt, the prisoner should beenrtled
to the benefit of it The jury obeyed the
direction of the Jndgf. and the vardiet of
"notgniity" alone afforded Suarez the
melancholy satisfaction of relating to the
writer suffering not to be found among
the destinies of any othr man in the
worid.
Some ill-natured people, notwithstand
ing tbe verdict, still believed Suarez to be
guilty, but tbe majority called him inno

j cruising into each river, and following
1 the sliors-lines of each gulf and bay. In-
i tinciveiy he hovered around the narrow-
est portion of the continent, w here was
bnt a slender strip of land, npheaved by
some mighty convulsion, to shatter bis
theories and defy his dreams. It was the
most pathetic picture in all history. Fi

while Uie carnival of murder and plunder

gnn. Among other points visited for barter
with the Indian was a liul harbor in
which were Manila covered with limes,
and Columbus marked the place upon
bis chart "Puerto de Limon." To-day it
is a collection of cheap wooden houses

thatched cabins, the naked babies tliat

women who svera always to tie snoozing
in the sua.
SurrouniUng the city for radius of
threescore miles is a jungle full of patri
archal trees, stately and venerable, drap
ed w ith long moss and slender vines that
look like the ricrimr of a ship. Their
limbs are covered with wonderfid orchids
as britrht and radiant as the plumage of
tbe bird, the Espiritu Santo and other
rare plants being as plentiful as Uie dai
sies in a New England meadow. There
is another flower, elsewhere unknown,
called the "turn-soil," which in the
morning is white and wax-like, resemb
ling the camellia, but at noon has turned
to the most vivid scarlet, and at sunset
drop off its stem. This picture is seen
from shipboard through a veil of mist
miasmatic vapor in which the lungs of
men find poison, but Uie air-plants fuotL
It reaches from the breasts of the moun
tains to the fitam-frintred shore, broken
only by tbe fleecy clouils that har.g low
and motionless in the atmosphere, as if
they, with all the rest of nature, had
sniffed the fragrance of the poppy and
sunk to sleep.
But in the mominsr and the evening's,
when the air is cool, Limon is a busy
place. Iiwarfudi engines with long trains
of cars w ind down from the interior, la
den with coffee anil bananas. Half-naked
roustabouts file back and forth
across the gunz-plank loading steamers
for Liverpool, New York, and New (rr
leans. The coffee is allowed to accumu
late in the warehouses until the vessels
come, but the bananas must not tie pick
eil till the last moment, at telegraphic
notice, the moming tbe steamer sails.
Trains of cars are sent to the side tracks
of every plantation, and are loaded with
tbe half-ripe fruit still glistening with the
dew. There are often as many as fifty
thousand bunches on a single steamer,
representing six million bananas, but
they are so perishable that too re than
half the care goes vrboard before its
destination is reached.
Alone the track many plantations have
been opened in tbe juntrle, and prsim e
iroLirically. Many of the settlers are
from tbe United States, from the South
particularly, and it being the fashion to
christen the plantations, tbe traveller
finds over the entrances sign-boariis that
bear familiar names. Over th iate-way
to one of the finest haciendas, as they
are called, is the inscription, "Johnny
Reb's Last IHtch" a forlorn and almost
hopelcw ex-confederate having drifted
there, after much buffeting by fortune,
and taken np government land, on which
he is now in a fair way to make a for
tune. She Fed and Clothed Genius.
several years ago a sensitive, unpracti
cal poet, while dining with some literary
people in New York, railed on his wife
to help hint re mem her the name of a cer
tain wonderful mountain view in Switz
erland. " Switzerland ! she exclaimed. "Ire
member nothing about it, except tliat
there was but one inn there where you
could get a chop fit to eat !"
There was much pity expressed after
war! by his friends for the poet who was
linked for life to so coarv and dull a
nature.
They did not know that the homely
iittie woman, by her constant dradgt-rv
and tersier rare, led and cbithed this
sensitive genius, and stood between him
ind tbe rough worid, giving bim quiet
and leisure in which to sing his song.
Photographsof Lightning Flash
es. Soui very perfect photograph of the
flashes of "forked lightning" have re
cently been secured by Mr. W. N. Jen
nings. Considerable difficulty is natur
ally experienced in securing exposures
of so pre-eminently uncertain a subject.
In two instances recently Mr. Jennings
has achieved quite a notable success.
One of the intemtting features of tbe -posareai
is tbe modulatory or wave-like
character of tbe tracing. Th zigzag ap
pearance so often shown in pictures is not
present Tbe general appearance is that
of Uie branch of a tree outlined by the
flash. The lines are slightly sinuous but
nowhere of th conventional shape of
"artistic lightning." .Snenri.aV Amrnenn.
A couple ran off tbe other day to if t
marrieiL Returning to the girl's borne.
Uie briii humbly sued forgiveness of her
father. " Forgive you ! " exclaimed th
old gentleman, "why I'm only too glad to
get rid of you. Your ill-tetoper, extrava
gance, and idleness have been tbe plague
cf my life. So take her and welcome,"
adiled Uie obliging parent in a burst of
generosity to tbe happy briilegroom.

and you will Had that you are better off
than you fancied.
