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.

Ho, For the Exposition.
The big Pittsburg Exposition opened in a
blaxe of glory oa September 2d, and all in
dications poiut to a successful show. Most
of our country cjusii.s will viait It before
the close. 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.
A wild-eyed man tackled the writer

tended to be pitiful.
" ou can see for yourself I'm all torn

one drink."
"Would just one do yoa T"
"Yes, just one."
"How many did you have last night
"Let's see eight whiskies, twenty-two
beers, two wines, two coctails "
"Did you need them all last night 7
"Of course not"
"Then why didn't you save just one of
them for this morning 7,
"Oh, you're too smart for this world,"
muttered the wild-eyed man, as he
ambled away.
