Ninette Bror. p as a young lady of
fleriurtlly romantic tendencies.
She bad bn named Nancy, but m
she entered rjv.a her sweet eixteeutti
year the decide to call herself Xan
iiette, and finally abbreviated it to Ni
nette, Her laother called ber Ninette nen
t-Iie could rtrueuiber to m, bat ber
father insisted ti;on plain Nancy.
Her father also favored Oreorpe Smith,
a young farmer, as one of Ninette'
saitora. George was a tall, btroug,
industrious fellow, with plenty or com
mon sense and not a particle of romance
about biin. Because of bis lack of the
latter Ninette treated bim in a way
wtich sometiuies made bis heartache.
I fchail never marry Georjre Smith. I
Lwlc higher than a farmer," she said to
her father one evening when he ws ex
tolling George's good qualities.
"Then I guejis you will look higher
than you will ever be able to tilt your
liule noser rejilied ber father angrily.
' I see what you are after. You have
read fo uiar.y o' th-ni trashy novels I
s'pose yon eitx-ct to net one o' theui 'ere
city chrrjs all shirt lrazzoin aa perfnm
er! But 1 warn ve now, Nancy, I'm
tgin it from the f iiM ! You'd better take
George, with bis decent ways and good
farm."
Nitiette did not tiitik f-o. She began
to p;t dcontented and to wih tbe
tv,niil get away from home. She warn
ed to go to the cit y.
She cocfided this desire by letter to
Jlrs. Elkiu. who bad once boarded for
the summer near them. Mrs, Elkiuss in
reply wrote: "We ere goit:g to a sea
thore report very kj n. If you will go
with us and take charge of litlle Sadie
we may be able to find a filiation for
you after the siiuuwr xeaon if you still
desire it
Ninette at last gained ber father's
consent to go. lie Kiid he "had been
pestered long eaonglj."
The journey was made. Ti:e Elkins
family were established in a suite at
The Golden,'" situated on a way down
cJist of Maine.
Ninette would have ben quite lonely
but f.ir the company of Mary Duncan,
the vouijg woaian who was Mrs. Eikius'
m:.i"l.
Mary was romantic ulso, with a dash
c.f .-imethitig tu-rse about hT, and
jni:e lmrnli.J Ni ' i;v by rt luting some
of her oe.ij.i'. -. Ntnvtte was thor
oughly good, biit
Mary," Kiid Ninette one i;:oraing
when they were alone. "I have net yet
Been my .r., but 1 think I have beard
biiii:-
"Why, bow is that':"'
"Well, last night I was sitting by
Miss Sadie while Mrs. Elkins was enjoy
ing herself at the dance, and I be.ard a
piano in the next rooia, and oh, such
glorious ringing! I don't know what it
was, but it was grand! i have beard
bim once before, and 1 ata sure be must
lie splendid to sing like that!''
How do you know but be is already
married?" asked Mar)-, who was beldom
practicah
I don't believe he is. I watched to
try and aee who came from tiie room
But you know Mrs. Elkins does not al
low us to koep our doors open, so I don't
have a very good chance."
"If you hear him again just let me
know, will you? I wiil come to listen if
I have time."
That liight no melodious sounds issued
from the rooui, but on the following
evening the grand voice broke forth and
Ninette and Mary listened w:;h breath
less attention.
I jiut wish I knew iko has that
room," exclaimed Mary, "but I don't
dare ask anybody. It would cost me
my place if Mrs. Elkins knew that I was
prying around anything ;r jmybodr."
"W'e muht watch all the time. I fuel
sure he is xi:y hero!" and foolish Ninette
thought of the unknown siiigt r while
Blie basted Miss Sadie's rnfiles. Bay
after day passed, and Ninette fed ber ro
mance upon the snatches of ?oi:g which
came from the room of her hero.
One morning Ninette was passing
through the corridor. The door i f her
hero's room ojtfiied and she saw a form
pass out. She could not tee bis face,
but he was tall, admirably proportioned
and carried himself gracefully. Ninette
caught her breath in suppressed admira
tion. "Oh, I've seen bim! I've seen him!"
she whispered excitedly to Mary.
"What docs be look like?" asked Mary
curiously.
"Oh, I didn't see bis face, but be is
very tall and d:irk. lie is splendid! A
j-erfect Apollo!" and Ninette ran ba-. k
to her duties aud to think about ber
Apollo,"
i she cotitinr.ed to ea.ll him.
Meanwhile George Smith was grow
ing heart hungry. lie wanted to see
Ninette. He suddenly decided "to go
down the coast a sjeil."
His old mother looked astonished. She
knew George did not need sea breezes.
It was "that Nancy Brown be was after."
George arruyeil himself in hisliest and
went to tne hotel where the ElkitiK
were staying. There was more of affec
tionate demonstration in his greeting
than N inette cared to st She resjionded
very coolly, "How ure yon. George:"
and tilted her j.oe a little higher.
(reorge followed Ninette down on the
lieaeh, where she bad gone with Miss
Sadie.
Ninette," he said, and bis face was
v; ry white, "give me my answer to-day.
Yon have always put me off on one pre
lex or another, but I can't be put off
ar.y longer. Yoa know yon are the only
girl I ever rated for. I will do my best
to inu3;o yoa b;ippy if you will marry
l!ie."
"Then icy answer is no, if you must
have it. Get rge."
"Yery well; no it is then. W ill -too
answer me one question, Ninette?"
"What Ls it?" she asked impatiently,
timing toward him.
"Is there any one else for whom you
tare':"
"Would yon hurt him if yon knew?"
liie asked fearful ;y.
"No never! Not if you love bim. 1
love you too well to hurt any thing you
have an interest in."
"Then I will tell you. I am ia love
with a great sing-r!"
"A great singer!" repeated George
wi'.h wuite lip. "Who is be':"
"1 don't know his r.ame." the stam
mered. Somehow it seemed harder to
talk to George about him than to Mary.
"Don't know bis tiame! Where d:d
yoa see bim?"
"1 have bardiv seen bim I have
bear 1 him."
"Ninette! Yon d in't mean to say you
Lave fallen ia love with a voice just
that ami nothing More?""
"Yes, I dor fa: 1 Ninette, half crying,
"and 1 wish, George Smith, you would
go awsy and not bother me any more!"
And she turned resolutely from hiia.
George turned toward her. He had
great courage and perseverance, aud
kaid between Lis set li;s: "I will not go
away. 1 will stay here and watch ever
you. If the man is all right, well and
good; if not, I wiil not let you come to
barm," And he hurried away to a pile of
rticks and seated himself to think the
matter over.
Nearly a week passed, George re
mained at the Golden and occasionally
joined Ninette on the beach. One would
Lave thought be liad forgovtea be ever
loved Ninette. He was simply kind and
Lelpful, and Ninette began to enjoy his
tock-ty Dow that be was apparently uo
luLZcT ber lover.
II Was iirariv time forth, it departure.
Ninette and George were looking over
mtue sheila togetuer. George beard
Ninette catch her breath ia a short gasp.
He looked dow n at ber quickly. Utr
face was flushing and paling by turns.
Following the direc tion of her glance,
he saw a man standing on a rook at a
little distance from theni. His tall, fina
form was clearly outlined as ha stood
there, looking away over ihe ocean.
"Ninette tell me is that the man?"
Ninette blushed. George needed no
other answer.
"Looks well as be ttands there! I
wish he would tum around so I could
aee bis face."
So did Ninette, Instead of turning
around he swung himself diwn the
rocks and was bidden from view.
George arose and looked over the
ledge. Ninette sat still, but watched
George anxiously.
He is coming out this way, and I
think be will come out by this opening.
There is no other place for him to pass
out this side."
George dropped back into the niche
where he bad been sitting, and Ninette
awaited the appearance of her Apollo.
A little movement near her caused
Ninette to turn ber head. She saw Mr.
Lewis, a gentleman who owned a fine
cottage near the hoteL
"Excuse me, but I am looking for
Marcus Marshall. I saw bim dissappear
here somewhere. Have you seen him?"
"1 don't know the gentleman," said
George; "do yon, Ninette?"
"No, but I haven't seen any one near
here for half an hour."
At this moment the hero emerged
from an oiwmag in the rocks.
Ninette and George heard Mr. Lewi
exclaim:
"There be is now!" and turned back
again.
Was this ber hero? Her Apollo?
George's face was blank with amaze
ment. Ninette felt Lxe skneking.
He was dark ves. it must be admitr
ted. very dark. He was a mulatto.
He was Marcus .Marstiaii, tne nue
looking conductor of the famous M;ir
bhall minstrels, stayit.g at the Golden.
Vin..:te arose hastilv. and Geor) like
wise. As they hurried away they h.-ard
Mr. Lewis saying:
"I5v the wav. Marshall, I want to en
gage your services ftr my swell dinner
next Thursday.
The r?st was lost in the rapidly in
creasing distance between them. Ni
netiA l.r.rried into her room with Miss
Sadie, and Georgo wisely concluded to
keep out of her way tuat day.
Next morning he went down on the
beach. Ninette bad to go with Miss
Sadie.
George marched straight np to Ninette
and took her hand and looked into her
tear swollen eyes.
"Now, my dear Ninette, let the past
be forgotten. Your Apollo i in bronze
and no good to you. Yon are safe enough
now. I am going home today, and when
you come back home next week I am
going to ask you the same question I
asked you the first day I came here,"
and George turned and hastened away.
Ninette bad learned a lesson by tiie
md sea waves, and when she went home
it was with a trustful respect and alec-ti-in
for the yonug fanner.
She married him on the nest time hon

The Life of an lucanurwceut Lamp.
From the consumer's point of view,
one of the chit f charges that can be
brought agait:::t the incandescent electric
light is the fact that its efficiency falls
oS with use. At the electrical labora
tory of the Ohio State university, a pro
longed inquiry has been conducted into
the "life" and efficiency of tiie incandes
cent lamps of ten di.Tereut American
makers. The results show that the mean
candle power falls off with Use approxi
mately at the rate of 10 per cent, for
each 200 hours; that the life of 50 out of
127 lamps exceeded ll.H") hours, and
that the average initial tficiency was
4.2; af ler 6v0 hours 3.6 and after 1.200
hours 7 watts per candle power. Pitta

I beard Bill Stone plead bis first case.
It was a good many years ago more
than twenty anyway. I d not remem
ber the name of the judge, but a notori
ous horse tliief was np for trial on a
charge of stealing cattle. As he had no
counsel the court appointed Bill Stone
to defend the case. Stone took his man
over to a window and talked to bim for
a few minutes, then announced that-he
was ready for trial. "We plead guilty,
your honor, to the charge against us,"
announced the young Lawyer. The court
wasted no time in giving a verdict, foi
horse stealing was a beijons offense in
those days ia this part oi the country,
and condemned the man to fifteen years
in the penitentiary.
"But. judge, we plead guilty !" yelled
Stone, expressions of amazement and
disappointment alternating on bis face.
"Fifteen years," repeated tho judge.
"But. judge, we plead guilty!" re
peated Bill Stone, raising Lis long arms
like windmills. But the judge wxs ob
durate. "If that is the case," said Stone, "we
will argue the case," and be forthwith
started in upon the def.-nse. For thirty
minutes be argued and pleaded with that
eloquence that is characteristic of him,
and at the cud of bis harangue he Eat
down and watched tiie effect of bis
words. The judge smiled and made the
sentence five years. Bill Stone had Won

ruiirhins Steel and Iron.
According to a pzprr read Ik. fore the
Engineers" club, of Philadelphia, on the
proper limit of th;cku ss to steel which

that the thicker the steel the greater the
danuge caused by such au operation.
Recent tests wado to determine this
matter ara declared to indicate thai
punching injures steel le.-s th;.n iron up
to, say, three-quarters of au inch in
thickness, at which point the two ma
terials are about equal in this respect,
and leyced this joint the Taluo of steel
cl:r purching decren;es quite rapidly
as the thiiki.ess incrtasts; in iron the
percentage sctmj to be mrtch more con
stant. The cliaracter of the fracture after
punching is also found to be materially
affected by the thickness of the mate
riuL Ia view of these circumstances, it
is propoed to limit to one-half inch the

punching, exctpting in the cases of

DETSrS SLirPERS.
I was traveling in Ireland with gom
friends. We were in the sonuieastern
nart of the island and wre traversing
Connemara, the poorest purt of that
poor country. If anything can pve a
horrible impression of drought and
misery it certainly is Connemara.
A profound dolor seems to rest upon
that comer of the earth. Low plains
destitute of verdure extend at the right
to a chain of mountains, which are bare,
as though they bad lieen ravaged by fire.
These immense space are without a vil-
bige, often without even a single aweil-
lEg.
The few which we pass at long inter
vals consist only of four stone walls
piled np without cement, and with a
black root, r roia tee oac oi mese
dreary cabins issues a thin thread of
bine smoke.
In front of them one sees children
from five to twelve years old with naked
feet, sun scorched skins and ragged
clothing. They r.tter uncouth sounds
in a language which is partly Irish,
partly English. Tbey usually run after
the carriage for several miles. With a
supplicating hand they extend to you
some sort of rude merchandise; it may
be roughly hewn wooden shoes; it may
be woolen stockings; it may be a little
bunch of flowers plucked from the
mountain side. They run shouting,
hurrying, hustling each other.
"Penny, please! penny, please !" they
repeat over and over. A penny is finally
cast to them.
Immediately there is brawling, strug
gling and fist pounding. The conquerer
deserts the ranks of our followers, bnt
the others still pursue the carriage.
One by one the small flock drop away.
First the youngest become exhausted
and Etop. At List there are only three
then two then only one, who ia bis
turn rolls in the dust raised by the
wheels, uttering a last "Penny, please!"
with labored and panting breath.
About 11 o'clock we arrived at
Oogterard, near Lake Corrib. This
lake is said to contain as many fclands
and also as many inhabitants as there
are days in the year. Here we took
breakfast.
For a long time a little girl of about
twelve followed our carriage. She alone
bad persisted of five or six children, the
rest of whom Lad dropped away as we
passed along. Tall and slender for her
age, she bad a charming face of the
true Irish tyjK of beauty. Her com
plexion was darkly I rowued and she had
large blue eyes. Her long run bad put
roses into her cheeks; her parted lips
showed her brilliant teeth. A ragged
brown linen waist and skirt composed
her costume. Her naked feet, which
were remarkably small and pretty,
seemed to fly through the dust. Poor
little one! Our hearts ached to look at
ber!
Suddenly she nttered a cry, extended
ber arms and fell forward. We stopped
the carriage, but fortunately nothing
serious bail befallen ber. A projecting
stone hail slightly cut her foot, which
bled a little. We asked her who she
was and from whence she came. She
called herself Betsy and said that she
lived at Ougterard. We told ber to
climb into the carriage and we would
carry her to her home. She looked at
ns in bewilderment, as though she could
not understand what we were saying.
We repeated our offer. She blushed
with pleasure and gave us a look which,
although fall cf inquiry and wonder,
was yet most grateful. She seemed to
be overjoyed at riding in a carriage. It
was her first experience of that kind.
Ten minutes later we were in Oug
terard, a poor village of forty bouses.
We gave two shillings to the child as a
parting present. Sbo looked at it as
though she could not believe her eyes.
It occurred to me that the wouad in her
foot might 1x3 inflamed by a walk in the
dust. I therefore entered a shoemaker's
eiiop, the only one the place afforded,
and bought a pair of slippers for the
joor child.
Betsy watched this operation in pro
found perplexity. When I extended the
slippers toward her, saying tbey were
for her, she was dumfounded, intox
icated, dazzled. She dared not take
tbem.
Finally, as I firmly insisted that the
slippers were for Ler and ber alone, she
seized them and fled with a bound of
joy, and without even saying " Thank
you r
"Little savage!" thought I; "she does
not even know how to thank anybody."
I rejoined my companions, who were
already seated around the hotel dining
table, and we had soon finished our
breakfast and were about to climb into
our carriage, when I felt a little hand
wiiiiin mine which sought to detain me.
"Come, sir!" she said, "come!"
"And where do you wish to lead me?"
"To our house. It is very near."
I followed her. My companions were
not a little puzzled. She led me to the
bottom of a narrow street. There we
paused before a humble cottage. She
pushed the door open and we entered.
The interior consisted of a single room.
It was without a floor and contained
scarcely any furniture. It was dimly
lighted by the feeble rays which entered
through a paper covered window, near
which sat an old woman spinning. She
was Betsy's grandmother. At our en
trance three little black pigs scampered
under her bench grunting. In the cor
ner stood the lowly lied of the grand
lnotbrr; at its tide the little cot of the
child. Jitst above her pillow Bety
showed me a kind of rough staging lean
board covered with a very white linen
cloth, beneath an image of St. Patrick,
and between two bunches of white
Bowers. I perceived the little slippers!
The poor child looked at her shrine of
beauty with admiration and even with
religions awe, as upon a precious relic
"But you should put the slippers on
your feet. They are for yon to wear,"
add L I could not help laughing to see
Liem set np as sacred objects of devo
tion. She appeared astonished, almost an
gry. "Oh, never!" she s-iid earnestly.
They are too beaut if uir
We sliptied some money into the
pocket of the old grandma and bade
tdien to, Betsy; but she could not bear
to leave us yet, and followed ns quite to
the carriage, and looked after it with
eyes full of tears as long as it could be
seen.
A month later we passed through the
same place on our return trip and made
a halt there as before. We did not see
Betsy. Before quitting that country, to
which 1 never exjiected to return, I
wished to sc-e Ler again, if only for a
minute.
I sought out and knocked at the door
Df the poor little cabin.
No one opened it.
1 lifted the rude latch and entered.
A sad spectacle presented itself to my
eyes. Around tha little bed of Betsy,
lighted by three smoking candles, some
old women were kneeling and reciting
prayers ia a monotonous voice. Upon
my entrance the chaut stepped and one
of the old women uross and came to me.
It was the grandmother. She recog
nized we immediately, and two large
tears ran over tier wrinkled cheeks.
"Betsy," murmured 1: "where is
Betsy?"
In a few broken words die explained
to me that Betr.y had taken a fever and
bad just died.
i approached the cot The pale face
of the rbild wore a peaceful expression.
Her long black hair lay over ber shoul
ders in heavy curls, but ber beautiful
bright eyes were shnt. Clasped in her
thin, blue veined bands and pressed
closely to her heart were the image of
St. Patrick and the two little slippers.
During all the time she bad been sick,'
the old dame told me, she bad held them
in ber hands. 1 bogged the old woman
to bury them with her.
A tear came to my eyes. I leaned over
the poor Irish child and imprinted a kiss
upon ber forehead. Translated from the
French of Jacques Normand by Harriet
