Stage Struck.
Our Addie was stage struck. I well re
member the stroke it pave me when I
found that instead of going to sleepier
I bade her good night she was sitting op
studying play book.
If yon would only fall in loe." I
aid with a eigh, "your ambition to ehine
in the drama would aoon disappear," but
he sniffed at the idea and said ehe was
created for bigner things than to be any
man's drudge.
One day I net my frieud Smith, who
had been in California so many years. I
invited him borne to dinner, though I
knew he would never prove an antidote
for A ddie'i ambition.
Nothing could be more gracefully cor
dial than Addie's reception of her unex
pected gueat, and nothing prettier than
ber manner of presiding at the dinner
table. She wa lovely in her white dre,
with a cluster of ruschiaa dropping from
her hair and another from the pin that
fastened Ler collar. I saw Dick's big
gray eyes fixed on ber again in honest
admiration, and said to myself :
" He might shave his beard and raise a
mustache, but, confound it all, he can't
change his name. He aont even write
it Smvthe."
That was a pleasant SundEy. The tide
was up, and the little stream, invisible
t low water, threaded the salt meadoas
with a network of silver, when we walk
ed in the morning to the little village
church that was older than our grandfa
ther would have been had they lived.
Dick and I Fjrcwledon the grass under
the pear trees like two boys all the after
noon, and at sunset Aadie joined us at
Dick's request ; we all walked over to the
sound and bark by the liiht of the moon
"shining over our right shoulders for
good luck," as Addie said.
By the time that moon was old such
walks were a common thing. Dick got
into a way of meeting me at the depot
nd going home with me for the night,
and sometimes he would find it conven
ient to take the earlier train, and when I
came 1 would find him and Addie read
ing Ternyson or Mrs. Browning in the
portch or the grape arbor, or under the
pear tree.
Knowing her talent I rather wondered
that sheever read for him. It was very
strange, too, that she never mentioned
the stage before him, when her mind was
so full cf it
One day with a little curiosity as to
the effect of my words, and a kindly in
tention, I acknowledged of giving my
friend a timely warning ; I said, care
lessly :
- Bv the way, Addie, why don't you
o!ia fnr Dick ? I know he would like
tn hear vou."
She blushed, aesitated a moment, and
rd "Maud Mulier." I
never heard it more exquisitely rendered
Dick beared for more.
" Give cs something more stirring this
time " said I, a little wickedly, I am
afraid' Lady Macbeth, for instance."
" Please don't, Charley."
f Nonsense, child V I persisted. " You
must accustom yourself to speaking in
public if you expect to succeed on the
etage."
" On the stage 1" exclaimed Dick.
Yes. Is it possible that when you
and Addie are such good friesdashe has
never told you of her pet plans .
Charley !" came beseechingly from
poor little Addie, but I mercilessly con
tinned : I
" Yea, she is going to be an actress.
I have done all I could to persuade her
to give up the idea, but in vain. She is
determined to devote her life life to the
profession."
But you, dear, with such pure, true
and womanly instincts, how can you rec
oncile yourself to ths prosject of a stage
life V said Dick, earnestly, with a plead
ing look in bis big gray eyes as he turn'
ed them open my little sister.
" I cannot," she answered, impetuous
ly. " I don't see bow I ever fancied I
should like it. I would die sooner than
jo through ' The Lady of Lyons ' or ' Ro
meo and Juliet ' with a man I did not
care about"
" Well well well!" I exclaimed
this sudden change of opinion is rath
er astonishing, though I am exceeding
ly glad to hear it. But I shall expect
next to hear yon extract your vows
against matrimony and confess yourself
capable of falling in love."
" Charley, I never knew you to be so
cruel," said poor Addie, with her face all
ablaze and the tears starting to her eyes.
She flew out of the room, and, without a
worm, Dick got up and followed her into
the garden, leaving me, as yon may im
agine, in rather a dazed condition, won
dering if the man lived on the face of the
earth capable of understanding a woman
sure that if he did bis name was Char
ley Hart. I looked at my watch 9
o'clock. I lighted one cigar and smoked
it, then another ; read the paper, yawn
ed, 1 looked at my watch again 10. At
last I grew sleepy, threw myself upon
the lounge, and toek a nan. How long
it lasted I refrain from staing, in consid
eration of Addie's feelings, but I awoke
with an impression that some (one was
trying to gar rote me, and found ber
kneeling by my side, with her arms
Around my neck.
" Charley, dear Charley," she whisper
pwed, " I've been a willful little sister,
nd given yon a great deal of Uouble ;
but I'm so rry, and you'll forgive me,
won't yo V
" Of course I will, my pet"
" And and I w ant to tell you some
thing, if youll promise not to laugh at
me and bring np all the horrid speeches
I used to make."
" I couldn't remember them all if I
tried, my dear," said I, meekly.
" Then dont look at me so. I've found
at that I can love some bod t, and it's
Dick, and"
"And she has promised to marry me,"
put in Dick, gripping my band.
"Oh, Addie T I exclaimed, "that I
should live to see you give np freedom,
and sew on buttons for a man named
Smith, with chin whiskers!"

A Fearful Fear.
He stack bisbeaa throug'a the alley
gate of a hue on St Antoine Street and
peeped cautiously around. Then be
came in and met the man of the house,
rising up'.from behind a gooseberry busb.
"Ah, I beg your pardon," be said meek
ly. "I didnt know you were here."
"I guess not," responded the man with
some sarcasm evident in his articulation.
What do you wantr
"Work, eir," answered the visitor very
humbly, but with confidence.
"Shoveling snow, I suppose, or sawing
ice, or mending skates, or repairing eled
runners, or firing a furnace or tomething
of that sort V w as that sarcastic half
query.
"Your sarcasm is uncalled for, sir," re
marked the visitor sadly. "I am honest
in my search, sir, but I am haunted by a
strange fearthat follows me everywhere
I go, sir," and the visitor looked over his
shoulder fugitively and shivered.
"Got 'em again, perhaps," suggested
the man, w ith an ironical smile.
""osir; I haven't tasted whiskey for
many a long day, sir," and there was a
conscious pride in the voice.
"Xor stale beer 7 queried the cruel in
quisitor of the goosberry bush. But the
stranger heeded it not,
"As I sid." he went on, "I have been
haunted by a strange fear in this search
of mine for work, and for years I have
not been able to rid m self of it Where
I have gone it Las gone : where I have
stopped it has stopped ; sleeping, I may
foriet it, but wakiDg it is ever present'
with me," am' as he talked termulously
and with the same fugitive glances over
his shoulder the man behind the bush
became so interested that bs banded bis
vagrant visitor a quarter.
'That may be of some assistance to
you," he said kindly, "and I would like
to ak if you can explain w hat this pecu-
lar fear is you speak of?
The visitor was standing with the latcn
of the gat; in hie band, leaning on it
"Thank vou for the money, be mur
mured rratefullv, pressing it to bis lips.
"I have always kept my secret, but now
I ehall divulge it for the first time, be
cause you, lam sure, can sympatnize
with me. This fear that hounds me, sir,
in my search for work, is the fear that I
shall some day find it"
The allev rate went slam w ith the vis
itor on the euteide, and be held it fast
until the man on the inside started
around front way, and when be got to
the onteide the gate swung on its hingts
and there was a lonesome, hollow sound
ud and down the alley as the man s
quick, decisive steps rattled over the ceb-
blestones. DdroU Fret run.

Shrewdly Done.
Some time ago I was trading in a v:l
lage store, says a correspondent when
one of the clerks came to the junior part
ner, who chanced to be waiting on me
and said :
"Won't yoa please step to the desk a
moment ? l'at Flynn wants to settle his
bill, and insists on having a receipt."
The merchant was evidently annoyed.
"Why what does he want of a receipt?"
he said ; "we never give one. Simply
cross his account off the book ; that is
receipt enough."
"So I told him," answered clerk, "but
he is not satisfied. You bad better see
him."
So the proprietor stepped to the desk,
and after greeting Pat with a "good morn
ing," said, "You wish to settle your bill,
do you 7" to w hich Pat replied in the
affirmative.
"Well," said the merchant, "there is no
need of my giving you a receipt See!
I will cross your account off the bock,"
and suiting the action to the word he
drew his pencil diagonally across the ac
count "That is as good as a receipt."
"And do ye mane that settles it ?''said
Pat
"That settles it," said the merchant
"And ye're shure yell never be aftker
atkin me fur it again V
"We'll never ask you for it again," said
the the merchant, decidedly.
' Faith, thin," said Tat, "and I'll be
after kapin' me money in me pocket, for
I haven't paid it yet."
The merchant's lace flushed angrily, as
he retorted, "Oh, well, I can rub that
out"
"Faith, now, an' I thought that same,"
said Pat
It is needless to add that Pat obtained
his receipt Youlh'i Companion.
