The little town of Claremont was cele brated for its pretty girls. The palm of beauty, however, was yielded universally to Jewell Hastings. Yet, strange to tell, although twenty-two, she had never had an acknowledged suitor; but there was not one of the boys who had grownup with her who would not have been proud id happy to have served her in any .ay. There was one, young Harry Lawton, the doctor, who was ofteuer seen with her than any other. When Harry's uncle, the best loved and most skillful physician inthetjwn, assed from earth the folks transferred their confidence to Lis nephew and name sake. Thus it was that Harry, being Jewell's aunt's medical adviser in fact, her adviaer on till subject was thrown almost constantly in the beautiful girl's society. And she, like her aunt placing full conlidence in the young man, did not hesitate to call on him if she needed an escort at any time. Yet never for a moment did Harry Law ton draw any flattering inlerence regarding his position with Sewel. He understood her perfect- iy. Jewell Hastings lived with her aunt, a maiden lady, whose worldly goods amounted only to the little cottage in which they lived and a small amount of money, tbe interest of which supplied their necessary wants. The neighbors all knew exactly just their situation. But after a few years, when Jewell was eigh teen, there began something that they could not understand. No girl in the Utile town dressed better ; few as well. And as the years passed on her robes in creased In elegance. "Now, where do they come from V "How on earth does she manage to pay for them?! were questions of the time and town. Some of the wise folks declared she made money by embroidery, and that was why she never ran about like the other girls. But this was not much cred ited, for it was generally known that, ad mitting her dreeses numbered but few, a year's hard work of that kind would not doit And so the mystery remained to all but Doctor Law ton. There was on a high eminence, in Claremont, an old mansion, once very eleganL For years it had been untenant ed. At the time of the beginning of this story it was rumored to Lave been pur chased by the family of great wealth, who were to occupy it. Very soon the windows were thrown open, and a band of workmen entered. Immediately after the completion of their work the new purchasers came only a widoir and her son. - A few days after their arrival Doctor Law ton sat reading in bis ollice. A knock called his attention. In answer to his "Come in," a gentleman entered. Before one word had escaped his lips, Harry Lawton mentally exclaimed : "Here is tbe prince who may win our Jewell !" yet it was not merely the phj sical beauty that attracted the doctor, but the soul that beamed in his eye, the spirit that pervaded hj entire bearing. "Will you be kind enough to come with me immediately? My mother is extremely ilL I dared not trust a ser vant, as haste is all important My name is Fielding. I have a conveyance here. Doctor Lawton was drawing on his coat, while his visitor spoke. A few moments' drive brought them to the mansion on the hill. Mrs. Fielding's illness proved to be an attact of appoplexy, which required Doct or Lawton's attention through the night and for several days after. During these visits quite an intimacy grew between Ha-ry Lawton and Ernest Fielding. The favorable opinion formed on their first meeting daily increased, and Harry found himself continually thinking: "Yes, they were made for each other." Ernest Fielding was an artut ; his soul filled with poetic visions. Every hour that Harry Lawton could spare from his patients and study was spent in the studio of his friend. During one of these Tu-ila it was that Harry spoke of Jewell, fancying some slight resemblance in one of the ideal faces. "io with ma to church to-morrow. You will see her there. After, if you de sire, I will get her permission to intro duce yoo," said Harry. Gladly Ernest Fielding accepted the invitation. The next day, before enter ing the church, be expreed the desire to Cod Miss Hastings without Harry di recting his attention. There were at least a dozen beautiful girls that passed out of the cbncrh as ILirry and Lis friend stood near the door. When Jewel came, w ith expression of mingled anmiration and surprise, Ernest Fielding moved slowly behind her out of the church-yard, Harry following besides him. Neither spoke until Jewell had passed out of bearing. "Welir Harry said. "Of coarse, that was Miss Hastings. She is beautifuL If yoa can, present me as soon as possible." Jewell bad not failed to notice the set EST A "RTiTRFTRD 18537. WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 189JJ. handsome stranger ; and Doctor Lawton had a cordial consent to his bringing bis friend the next evening. As Harry Lawton had expected, very soon Ernest Fielding was loving Jewell with the full strenght of his ardent lov ing nature. Of course, Harry was his confidant, and to him he said : "It seems as though my liie had been almost a blank ; that I never truly lived before I knew her. If I do not win Ler, the light .of my life is lost. The world will be perfect darkness. Little thought his friends how proph etic were his words. "Nonsense, Fielding. You will win our Jewell, I feel sure. If she intended sending yoa from her she never would have permitted your getting near enough to think of winning her. Hope every thing. The next evening Fielding had been reading to her. Closing the book, he said, his voice trembling with emotion : "Oh, how can I read to you of others' loves, when my heart is almost bursting to teil its own ? Miss Hastings Jewell, may I tell you V The beautiful eyes, which a moment before were raised to his, drooped. A rosy tlush suffused the fair face. "Oi, do you know how truly I love you 7" he said, clasping the ban1 he had gained, and pressing it to his lips. "I thought and hoped so," Jewell an swered, raising her eyes, tilled with truth and love, to his. "Oh, do you mean this? Can it be that yoa will try to return some of the great love I give you, my prcious Jewell ? Dear love, I never before to-night have breathed or known another love. Speak Jewell "I love you!" she whipered low. And Ernest was satisfied and profound ly happy. "Good-night, sweet love. To-morrow I may come or I shall think this joy only a bright, deceiving dream if I do not see you and hear one little loving word in the daylight." Ah, a dream it w as, as brief as brighL The next day, while waiting Ernest's coming, she received the following note: "Mv Ow.s Jewell: An unexpected and pressing commission to P will prevent my being with you until this evening. I shall return by eight o'clock and Lasten to you. Heaven Mess and keep you, darling. levoledly, "EKNE.T." A few hours after the reception of this Jewell still was seated in ber little par lor, when the servant, opening the door, said : "Mrs. Fielding, Miss Jewell." With a warm, bright smile Jewell ex tended her hand and drew towards hur guest the most comfortable chair. An expression of supposed admiration nearly escaped Mrs. Fielding's lips. And she thought : "No wonder! She is beautiful enough to turn any man's brain.'' She said : ""Miss Hastings," the face was rigid and cold, "my visit is not a pleasant one. Last night E-nest -told me of this foolish affair." he hesitated. "Well, I may as well explain my business at once. But you must not tell Ernest I've been here. This morning I sent him off, to have the opportunity of seeing you. 1 waut him to marry a distant coa-in. They were pledged to each other when babies." "Rest assured, madam, I sahll not enter any family unless they are happy and proud to welcome me. Your son shall never hear from my lips that his mother is not all be would wish her. Now, madam, if you will excuse me, I will bid you good afternoon. Jewell left Claremont. Her aunt followed a few days after, leaving the cottage and its effects for Doctor Lawson to either sell or rent. When Ernest Fielding called that evening to his iniinite surprise and dis tress, he received the following : "Lkab Eu.iT : Last evening, when I told you I loved you, I meant iL You will doubt me now. Dj not. I shall always love you, and pray to God daily to remove the obstacle to oar union. An anforseen circumstances separates us. Trust me, as I do Heaven, and pray that we may meet again, when no earthly power can separate us. Do not seek to find me. It would be useless, until the obstacle is removed. Then I will come t-j you. "Ony and truly yours, Jewell." Five years had passed since Ernest re ceived this note. As he said, truly, the light of his life went out Xot quickly ; gradually the terrible truth came. It seemed quite impossible for Dr. Lawson to arouse him to any interest in anything except to lavish his wealth among the poor for miles around. Gradually he fell into miserable health, without an effort to arrest the disease. It seemed as if Providence was expres sing very decided disapproval of Mrs Fielding's course. And she felt it "Riches take unto themselves wings." And truly, so it was with hers. Except the house in Garemont and a few hun dred dollars, all was gone. Long ere this the mystery of Jewell's money-making was explained. From the stores of her brain she drew wealth. The whole country, and across the great waters, found delight in the gems of thought she gave to them. Mr. Fielding knew of this, and in her remorse and re gret, one day dropped a remark that fully explained all to her son. Too late then. Could she offer then to the world-renowned and gifted woman the wreck she had made ? A little nob from Jewell to Doctor Lawton, with this sentence: "Tell me something of the Fielding," carried to ber the following: "Possibly yoa may have heard that by the defalcation of their lawyer they are reduced almost to poverty. This al though to be deeply regretted, is nothing in comparison to Ernest's arHiction. Lt ng since, I discerned the app roach of a dreaded malady. I did my best to arrest this. Finally I urged, and, indeed, en treated him to seek nioie efficient ad vice. But in vain. And now be is quite blind." Five days after the milling of this. Dr. Lawton was surprised beyond expression to see enter his office Jewell Uas'.ins. After the nroal greeting, she said : "Doctor, I want yoa to go with me to Mrs. Fielding. I will teil yoa now. She sent mo from Ernest, five years ago. Perhaps she will let me come to him now. For bis sake I will try." After Doctor .Lawton had introduced Miss Hastings to Mrs. Fielding, he would IT have withdrawn, but Jewell put oat her hand said : "Stay!" And turning again to Mrs. Fielding, she asked : "Is the young lady you wished as a daughter willing to mar ry Ernest now ?" "Now. Why do you wish to taunt me with my misery ? No, no." "Think you of any whom yoa would wish that would be his wife?" Jewell continued. "No, no what has he to offer ? Blind and poor, too." "Not one? Think '." Jewell cr'ed. "Not one unless forgive me unless it be you !" "And jou what say you?" Jewell's calmness had all fled, and almost wildly now she placed her hand on Mrs. Field ing, and cried arain : "Speak !" "I would, glatlty. But oh, no, no, no! You, in your pride and beauty " "Would willingly, gladly, aye, joyfully marry him this day ! Where is he? N'ay, I will find him and will call you soon, Doctor. Wait." Her heart directed rightly. Gently she opened the door, and with noiseless steps reached his side. Kneeling on a stool it his feet she threw off her hat and re-ting ber head on his breast, she took the thin white hsnd and passed it over her hair, on her face, and pressed it to her lips. "Oh, God ! Can it be ? Jewel! ! oh, my darling !" Ernest cried, his whole frame trembling with emotion. "Yes, love; here I am. All is right now. I shall never leave you aain." "Yes, yes; I cannot permit this sacri fice. I have nothing to offer now," he said, yet clasping her closer. "Your love is the dearest thing on earth to me. Unless I have lost that I shall stay," and she nestled her beautiful head closer to his own. That evening there was a quiet wed ding. Three days after Ernest Fielding, bis wild aud Dr. Liwton sailed for France. After an absence of scarcely a year they returned to ClareiuonL Rapidly the joyful news spread through the sur rounding country. Light had aain been given to Ernest's life.

One, her namesake, he de clares he shall marry some day. Stranger thintcs have happened. Up In A Minaret. Entrance to the mosques is rarely re fused Christians, except on festivals, and it is to the top of the highest minaret in the town that we are bound. The nar row spiral staircase affords no more than beal-and-shotilder room ; the steps are foul with summer-blown dust, with bones brought in by owls and kites, besides other venerable ruVibish, and after what seems interminable gyration we emerge upon the airy gallery which encircles the top of the lender tower. It is a crazy perch, for the whole rtrccture sways sensibly in the strong wind, and it seems as if a moderate kick would send the frail parapet clattering down on the tile roof far below, but, if your head is steady, the view well repays tbe labor of the ascenL Beneath your feet cluster the flat-roofed houses ; here and there a chimney rises, crowned with an immense stork's nest, making one wonder how the domestic economy of the bipeds within the house can be reconciled with that of the bijieds with out. From the duiky labyrinth of streets spring twenty-six minarets, like silvery bodkins, besides the one to which we were clinging. Then let your eye travel over tbe splendid prospect lying beyond the town. Full forty miles the flat plain is spread east and west, and five and twenty north and south, with hardly a tree to break the level, savaj where tl.e peasants cots cluster round the fcfrtified granges of the land-owners. The north ern horizon is closed by the massive rampart of mountains which make the latest shrinkage of Ottoman rule. Biaei-uou-r $ Miijtuiite. A Remarkable Set. Old farmer Gruff was one morning tugging away with all his might and main at a barrel of apples, which he was endeavoring to get up the cellar stairs, and calling at the top of bis lungs for or.e of his boys to lend a helping hand, but in vain. When he had, after an infinite amount of sweating and pulling, accmplished his task, and just when they were not need ed, of course, the boys made their ap pearance. "Where Lave yoa been, and what have you been abouL I'd like to know, w hy you could not hear me call ?" inquir ed the father, in an angry tone, and ad dressing the eldest. "Out in the shop, settin' the saw," re plied the youth, "And you, Dick ?" "Out in the barn, settin' the hen." "And you, sir?" "I'p in Granny's room, settin' the clock." "And yoa, young man?" "I'p in the garret, settin the trap." "And now, master Fred, where was you, and what was yoa settinT' asked the old farmer of his youDgest prony, tbe asperity of his temper being some what softened by this amusing category of answers. "Come, let ns near ?" "On the doorstep, settin' still," replied the young hopeful, seriously. "A remarkable set, I must confess," added the amused sire, dispersing tbe grinning group with a wave of the Land. The Proprietor'3 Only Remedy. A certain clerk in a Detroit establish ment, who has money of his own, but holds a position for the looks of the thing recently became impressed by the idea that be was working too hard, and he went to the manager about it. " I came to see you," he said to that potentate, " about my duties here." "What about theinT' inquired the manager. " I want fewer working hours," The manager had his own views on the subject. " Well," he said thoughtfully, " I don't see how we can arrange it, aniens we make more than 24 hoars constitute a day," and that ended the strike. D frvil Fret Phm. tiera The Little Cirl and the Candy. " Jason, ' said Mrs. Calliper to her hus band as they sat at dinner, " When I was coming back from Cometville the other day, alter my visit to Mrs. Gratebar, the train boy went through the cars, as usual with papers, magazines and candy, and when he was making the trip with the candy he threw a package into the lap of a little girl who was sitting with her mother. They were nice looking people, but it seemed to me somehow as though they were very poor. I imagined that she was a widow and that she had to look out no for every penny. Well, the lit tle girl picked up the candy package and looked at it a'.l over and read what it said on it, and nnaily she said to her mother : " Mamma, can't I have this candy ?" " And her mother said softly : "'No, dearie. I wish you cou'.d, but mamma can't spare the money.' "The little girl didn't say a word more. Shejust held the packai and kept it ready to hand to the train boy when he should come 'along. It was p'ain that merely to hold it was a pleasure. "Sitting in the next seat back of the mother and her child was a woman who couldn't help hearing what had been said. She had of course kept quiet, but when she saw the little girl sitting there hold ing the candy she couldn't keep still any longer, and she leaned forward and said: " 'Madam, I don't w ish to intrude, but it would afford me great pleasure if you would permit me to buy the candy for the little girl.' "Of course this was an intrusion, Ja son, butl'.he mother couldn't fail to real ize froin the woman's voice and manner the spirit in which the offer was made, and I am glad to say that she accepted it with a smile and a pleasant 'I thank you,' and the little girl looked np, smiling, and said, 'So do I.' And you see, Jason, the little girl got the candy after all." " Yes, Cynthia,' said Colonel Calliper, and I think I cou'.d guess who the wom an was that gave it to her." "Well" sid Mrs. Calliper, "don't guess." .Y. I". San. Not So 3ad as it Seemed. The young man bilking to a very pious acquaintance of bis. "Miss Polling told me to-day yoa were at her house last n ight,"she replied. "Yes," he replied. ' I prenme, of ootirwe, you had a very pleasant time; she's such a charming girl." "Lovely. I never had a better time. You see, there was one playing the plan no in tht back parlor, and Miss Fannie and I quietly stole out into that big din in' room they have, and in about a min ute I slipped my arn about her waist" fc.r; and Miss rrun almost nal a fit. He was as cool as a cucumber. "I said," he went on. "that I slipped my arm shout tier waist ana sue put ner soft, white hand on my shoulder" " I beg your pardon," interrupted Miss Prim, " but I cannot permit this conver sation to continue. 11 .Miss rotuns thinks no more of herself than to permit such liberties from a gentleman, surely he should thin'at enough of himself not to tell them." The young man snickered. " Of course, of course." he said ; "but wait till you hear it all." " No, sir, no, sir !" she protested. ' I have heard too much already." "Why. there Isn't anything toll yet," he persisted ; " as I said " " I bhal! not hear it, sir," and in high duJeon she arose to depart. " My dear miss," he said very contrite ly, "we were only beginning to waltz. and everybody was looking at us." "Ohl" she exclaimed, with a sud lea collapse, and the young man lmghed. The "Good Time Coming." MarkTwain takes this view of the niiileniTMn of woman's rights : In that day a man shall say to bis ser vant, " what is the matter with the baby?"" And the servant shall reply, "it has been sick for hours." "And where is its mother?" She is out electioneering for Sallie Robins." And such conversations as these shall tranppira between ladies and servants applying for situations : " Can you cook ?" "Yes." "Wash?" " Yes." " Ail right. Who is your choice for State Milliuer ?" "Judy MiGinnia." " Weil, you can tramp." And women shall talk politn i instead of discassing the fashions ; and men shall nurse the baby while their wives shall go to the polls to rote. And in that day the man who hath beautiful whiskers shall beat the homely man of wisdom for Governor, and the youth who waltzes with ecquisite grace shall be Chief of Police, in preference to the mn of practical sagacity and determined en ergy. Every man, I take it, has asc'.dsh end in view when he pours oat eloquence in behalf of the public good in the newspa pers, and s'.ich is the case with me. I do not want the privileges of women ex tended, because my wife holds ollice in nineteen diffe-ent female associations, and I have to do all her clerking. If you give tbe women fail sseep with men in political affairs, she will proceed to run for every oiii'e under the new dispensa tion. That will finish me. She would not have time to do an thing at all then and one solitary thing I have shirked np to the present time would fail on me, and my family would go to destruction ; for lam not qualified for a wet nurse. Caught in a Wifely Trap. "IX yoa like pie dear?" asked Mrs. Mc Bride to her husband at the dinner table. "That is quite fair pie," replied Mc Bride, "Mill it's not at ail np to fhe standard of the pies my mother makes. Yoa should get her to show yoa how." "I'm afraid your mother doesn't make as good pies as she nsed to." "Why?" "Well, she was here ail day giving me instructions, and that identical pie is the one she made herself."

Of more real interest to the average visitor to the World's Fair than all the confusing array of locomotives, cars. ships, wagons, bicycles and velocepedes in the great Transportation Building is the compact yet comprehensive exhibit which the Pennsylvania. liailroad Com pany makes in its own beautiful l.ttle model railway station. hat with Big nal tower, overhead foot-bridge, automat ic switches, tracks, ballast and ditches just outside its doors, and the original "John Bull" locomotive, the oldet in America, with its train of antique cars, and tbe colossal iron vehicles upon which the huge Krupp guns were con veyed from Baltimore to the Exposition standing in the shadow of its walls, it prevnts to the passerby an appearance so distinctly characteristic that a careful inspection of the treasures of the interi or is almost inevitable. Once inside you enter immediately into a study of transportation history in the I' cited States on the kindergarten or object-lesson basis, and by means of models ranging from the old Conestoga wagon through a series of curiously lashioiied care, up to the standard locomotives and paseengiT coaches of to-day, yoa secure a most effective idea, of railroad pi ogress.

In the cases w hich line the walls of the cool, w Lite in terior are also to be seen models of track of all periods, various systems of signals in use at diiicrent times, aud even tick ets and time tables, not forgetting con ductor's punches and lanterns. , In the way of models, the poet of hon or is given to a maguiticient reproduc tion cl the Pennsylvania Iwailroad Com pany's ue double-deck ferry-boat " Waaliintun," which plies between New York and Jersey City, a model com plete in every detail, even to the electric lighting aud tiie rubber mats at tbe doors.

Help for the Brutes. The movements of the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are not all in the line of aggies siveness and prosecutions against the owners of live stock. Dr. ail, of the University of Pennsyl vania, has been at work for some tisie on a list of ' dont's," to be observed by driv ers, which is now being issued by the society. Tliev are : Dou'l forget that your horse helps you to earn your living. Don't forget that he will repay you for his cost and keep, if.you treat him right. Don't stand him in the sun, when by moving him across the street or around the corner you can find shade. Don't put the same load on him when the thei nioaneter is at 00 as yoa do when it is j'ast above the freezing point. Don't fail to five him water at short intervals. Don't give him whiskey unless advised by a veterinary surgeon. Don't fail to wash your horse's mouth out. Don't fail it he shows signs of exhaus tion, to give him a half hour's rest. Don't forget that he is a faith fal ser vant, and treat him as cu.'h. Don't hesitate about employing veter inary aid when your horse is in danger. Don't take advice fron the man in the crew 1 who "knows it all," and is always on hand. These suggestions are of the most prac tical nature, inasmuch ai they are aimed to correct current evils witnessed by every one who takes time to watch the drivers of horses.
