THE EMERALD EARRINGS. They ly on their white velvet bed the uclight filtering through them, and changing their deep, rich creea, that reminded me of taoeej woodland nooke, into globale of golden light. A pair of emerald earrings, exquisitely et, and the handsomest I had eer seen. I wa somewhat of a judge, too, for, in bygone daya, when fort one smiled on me, many Terr rare gems found a place in my jew el caokeU But those days were a part of the ir revocable :past, and instead of living a gtf life in a stately home, with an in dulgent lather to grainy every wish, I, Mildred Heath, was now a hard-working little teacher in a crowded city school. A stuffy little room, third floor back, in Mrs. Wilson's shabby boarding bouse, I called "home." Xo one knew how I longed for some of the old pleasures to help brighten the dull days that were sow CHed with monotonous labor ; how I envied gay young girls as they rolled by in their carriages, laughing and chat ting ; nor how the florists' windows tempted me w ith their wealth of beauti ful blossoms, bringing to my mind so Tividly the fragrant conservatories at my old home Bat after months of useless repining! I had forced myself into a more contented frame of mird, and was at peace with myself and the world, until one unlucky day, in hastening through a side street to re reach home before a threatened storm, I suddenly stopped before a dingy pawnbroker's window, where, surround ed by odds and ends of all sorts, reposed the emerald earrings described in the be ginning of my story. How they lighted op I that dull window with their soft, shimmering radiance! And at the first sight there came to me an overwhelming desire to possess thtm. All the restrain ed longing for that which was dainty, bright, and beautiful, broke forth afresh ; and not until the fast falling drops of rain reminded me that I was still some dis tance from home did I turn away from the window. That night dreamed I was teaching school in Africa, and the natives were pelting me with huge emeralds. The next morning 1 again turned into the little street to fea-4 my eyes on the beauty of those jewels. The following day, before starting for school, I counted over my little hoard of 6vinga. Twen five dollars. " Oh, dear ! that will never buy them," I said, delected !y. Nevertheless, I tucked the money into my purse and hastened to school. Not until evening did I find myself free, and then I fairly flew into that little side street, holding my breath as I drew near the pawnbroker's window, for fear the white velvet case and its precious con tents would be missing. Cut no, they were still there, looking, if possible, more beautiful thsn ever. And proving my self no exception to the old adage, " She who hesitates is lost," I quickly entered the shop and asked to see the earrings. The proprietor, a greasy, unprepossess ing looking individual, placed them be fore me, expatiating on their beauty in Lis smooth, oily way. " What is the price of these T I asked, breaking in on his volubility. " Thirty-five dollars, and cheap they are at that, miae.'" " Yes, I know ; but that is more than I can pay," I said, fkltering!y,and scarce ly able to restrain my tears, I turned way. . " Wait a bit, miss, he called after me. " Now what will you give me for the gems?" - I have just $25," I said, " and I real ly ought not to spsnd so much money for jewelry." " But it is a great bargain," he said, hastily, and as he saw me put away my purse, he added, " Well, you take the emeralds, and III take the $25. It is giv ing them away, really, but I have not many customers, in this quiet street, who would appreciate them," he added, in suave tones. Eagerly I counted oat the money, and slipping the case into my pocket, hurried home. Had I not been so delighted at getting my heart's desire, I might have thought it strange that the pawnbroker was so ready to part with the jewels for so much less lthan their value. But no such thoughts troubled me. That night I slept with the jewels beneath my pil low, and actually arose in the night acd lighted the gas to look at them, all of which was very childish, I know. The next day was Saturday, and I had promised myself a treat, that of attend ing the flower show in progress at the Horticultural HalL So by 4 o'clock I was on my way, attired in my best town and hat, with the emerald swinging bravely in my ears. It was a beautiful morning ; the son shone brightly, the park seemed full of twittering birds as I passed through it, nd the grass looked fresh and green af ter the soft spring rains. I was in excel lent spirits at the prospect of spending a day among the flowers, of which I was passionately fond, with no stupid chil lred to correct, nor any dull, dry lessons to hear. On reaching the hall I almost scream- o- -.m uciigut, ior u looked like an en chanted palace, the work of fairies, in- sieaa oi man. For hours I wandered through aisl e carpeted with soft moss, banked by pyr am ids of Cowers reaching to the roof. Here were carnations of every hue, their spicy aroma filling the air. There the graceful heliotrope nodded to her dainty neighbor, the lily of the valley, while the calla, drawn op like soldiers on guard, were surrounded by delicate, waving fern. And over it all floated the fra grance of roses. During my walk among the flowers I kad several times encountered a stout, elderly lady, richly dressed, accompan ied by a very handsome young man who called her aunt," and whose blue eyes looked into mine so oarnestly each time he passed that I turned away, blushing. Presently I found myself close hehind thm. I had stopped to examine a Urge cactus, and thay had evidently halted for the same purpose. The lady lifted Lerarmto point toward the plant, and I was admiring the lang. beautiful fringe on her mantle, when the crowd, surging, pushed me against her, and it became en tangled about one of my earrings. The owner of the fringe, perfectly unconscious hurried on to join her handsome nephew who was a little in advance. whil I mucn against my wdl, was obliged to , eep pace with her. The absurdity of the situation forced itself npon me, and I trembled with sup pressed laughter. There Ilwas being led along like "a lamb to the slaughter," and mainly endeavoring to free myself with out attracting attention and without in juring my precious earring. Had not there been a young man in the case I should have spoken, but 1 had no desire for that particular one to see" me in such a ridiculous position. Bat, alas, it was to be. In despair I gave a frantic tug at the fringe, that seemed to possess the strength of a cable. It parted so sudden ly that my clenched hand struck the broad back before roe with such a re. oundiug whack that the old lady was rendered entirely speechless for a mo ment. " What in the world do you mean, young woman?" she finaliy gasped out, irately. " I your fringe my earring," I stam mered, turning scailet as I saw those blue eyes Again looking into mine. "Did it hurt you, or injure your ear ring T he asked, kindly, as if he pitied my embarrassment. " That is not the thing," the old lady ejaculated cro!y, before I had time to answer. My fringe is quite ruined ; several strands are gone. " Ah 1 it is caught cn your miserable earring; that did all the mischief," she said, tartly, stepping up to me to loosen it Then she dropped her hands with a little shriek, and clutched me tightly by the arm. " Gilbert, look !" she cried, excitedly. My emeralds, my stolen emeralds ! Ah, you wicked creature!" " Hush, aunt V her nephew said, in a low tone. '-That girl is not a thief, and there .is more than one pair of earrings in the world." . " There is not another pair set like mine." she said decidedly.'.lookicg scorn fully at me. It had all taken place so suddenly that I stood like one dumb ; but now I cried out, passionately : I did not steal them I bought them only last night." The old lady sniffed contemptuously and glanced suspiciously at my well-wurn black gown ; but her nephew said, gently : "I believe you, and regret that my aunt is so severe. Will you not come with us to a more private place and tell us all about it V lie courteously offered me his arm, but I proudly declined it, and walked by his sido with head erect and burning cheeks. I, Mildred Heath, accused of stealing! We entered a room at the end of the long hall used as an office, but now quite de serted, and without further ado I began, tremulously for a lump would come in my throat : " My name is Mildred Heath, and I am a school teacher. I saw these emeralds in a pawnbroker's window and, although it was a foolish thing to do, I admired them so much that I bought them " I handed the jewels to their owner, but her nephew interposed. "Keep them just one moment, Miss Heath ; I am very glad to hear your ex planation, and beg that yoa will pardon my aunt's hasty words. Now I think an explanation is due you- My aunt, Mrs. Radcliffe, had a valuable pair of emerald earrings taken from her hall table, where she had carelessly left them- The front door stood open at the time ; we have never been able to trace the jewels ; these may or may not be hers. Will you not kindly look on the rim of the setting and see if there is engraved there the letter R'?" I looked at the setting closely, and there, so small tliat the naked eye could scarcely see it w as the letter. " Yes," I 6aid, the earrings are most undoubtedly Mrs. Radcliffe's,' and I gave them to her, when she was as profuse in her apologies as she had been in her ac cusations. " I have a favor to ask of you, Miss Heath," Gilbert Radcliffe said. " Our carriage is at the door, and I should like you to take ns to the pawnbroker from whom you purchased these earrings, and through him we may be ahle to locate the thief." We drove quickly there. On entering the dingy shop we saw a young woman eagerly displaying something to the pro prietor. Seeing us, she concealed the ar ticle, and, pulling down her veil, was about to make a hasty exit when Gilbert IUdclirTe caught her by the arm, saying, quietly : " What have you got in your pocket, Mary ?" The girl hesitated, then, bursting into tears, handed hira a case containing sev eral pieces of jewelry, the property of his aunt, " Mary " was Mrs. RadclinVs maid The pawnbroker being ber brother, she had no trouble in disposing of her stolen goods. So this explained the disappear ance of the emeralds. As I write, the earrings gleam brightly on me from my toilet table, for I am now Mrs. Gilbert Radcliffe, and they were ene of Aunt Radcliffe's gifts on my wedding day a gift I did not want to accept at first, they brought back so vividly that first unhapy day. But when Gilbert re minded me that but for them we might never have met, I became reconciled to the possession, and the place of honor in my jewel case is filled by the emerald earrings.

City folks will thus have an op portunity to ihow their hospitality in return for favors received. We learn with n'-gret that Major Max Klein, pwing to a press of business, was unable to arrange a display this season, as in former years. Visitors to the city should by all means take a peep at his model establishment, Xo. 82 Federal St. Allegheny, which is within a stone's throi of the Ft. Wayne and West Penn depots. They can then return home with the satis faction of having seen the largest and best equipped wholesale liquor bouse in this sec tion efthr State the headquarters of those world-famed brands of absolutely pure whis kies, "Silver Ari" and 'Duquesne." The former sells at $1 50 and the latter at $1.2. per full quart. Major Klein, it may be add ed, also keeps in stock Bear Creek, Gucken heimer, Finch, Gibson and Overholt, and the finest old whiskus, brandies, wines cordials, etc. Call and see him. Just One Drink.
