It was wonderful, incredible. Would her mother think it too sud den ? No, no ; not when told all about it. It had been three long months that she had been here with Aunt Julia, who, extravagant woman, owned two summer cottages elsewhere, but who so greatly preferred this big, jolly, lovely hotel on CiilT Isle that she bad come hither for two entire seatons, bringing her favorite niece with her. And this summer ber favorite niece had met Stanley May hew, been loved by him, loved him and prom ised to be his wife. Nettie sat in the corner of s great, soft sofa in the long parlor, thinking her hap py thoughts. Only three months' But how well they knew each other now ! Stanley came down from the city ev ery night, and every Sund-jy for all day, and how her contented mind teemed with sweet memories of moon-light strolls on the sandy shore ; of quiet hours on a rustic bench on the hill ; of crabbing and fishing onhU little skiff; of long talks, only bright and friendly at first, then something more; of the moment when he had spoken aud she had yielded her fill trufct to him; of tbe blessed two weeks since then. She had written to her mother and she had told her A nnt J alia ; and she wonder ed if she ought not to tell Eleanor Wells- Why hadn't she ? K'eanor and she was chums, and Eleanor was an old friend of Stanley's family in tbe city, and was the one girl besides herself to whom Stanley paid any attention. Was she, perhaps, just the least little mite jealous of that old friendship, and of Stanley's frank admiration of Elea nor? Was it because of that lurking little doubtfulness that she had not con fided her happiness to Eleanor ? Nettie was ashamed of the feeling. Of coarse he admired s handsome, clever girl. He himself had introduced them, and wanted them to be friends, as they were. It was herself whou he loved. Was not that enough for her? Did it not seem to CU her world with radiance? She would go and find Eleanor this minute and tell her. She would tell how she almost wondered that be had not chosen her instead ; and they would laugh together probably cry a little and have a good talk. She must harry. It was after seven o'clock now, and he would be down on tbe eight o'clock boat to-night, he bad told her because he had s little extra work at the office. She would just have time, when she had saen Eleanor to get into her prettiest gown for him. She rose, smiling and flushing, and went trip ping down the long room hemming a gay air. A huge, gilt-framed mirror iwas at the end of it. She stopped suddenly, in the act of passing it. He had come! There he was just en tering the farther door of the parlor. Eleanor Wells was with him. Nettie stood waiting, her eyes fasten ed on tte mirror which reflected them. The moment she stood there seemed to her an eternity. Her smile faded, a quiver passed over her, and her face took on a marble coldness; for she had seen Stanley Mayhew stoop over Elea nor Wells seen her raise her pretty, graceful head, and seen their lips meet. Herself they had not seen. Poor Net tie . She turned away. Her trembling hands Were clapped so tightly that it hurt her; her breath came in little, mis erable gasps. She hardly knew what she was doing, when she passed oat across tbe broad piazza, and, bareheaded went gropingly oat into the thickening dask. To be alone to get away from every body and everything that was her be wildered longing. "He must have come by the seven o'clock boat," she said to herself, me chanically again and again. And that was at first as far as ber thoughts would go ; for she could not be lieve what she bad seen. "No, no!" she whispered, wringing her hands. "It wasn't Stanley !" as though every feature of his, every look, were not familiar and dear to her. She found herself mounting the hill, and reaching the rustic seat where they had sat together so o'ten, she sank down and there she pressed her face on the rough wood and tried to think. Think? She could not. One thing blinded her to all besides and stifled thought the remembrance of that which the mirror had reflected of that sight of the man she loved and bad trusted ten derly, bending to caress another woman. He did not love her, then. She was a plaything merely a source of whimsi cal amusement for him during the idle hours of the Eummer. He had not cared for her be had not been serious. He had meant to make love to her while the mood was upon Lim, and to break the bond when he snould tire of it. Else could he be making love to another wo man? And she had cared for him so deeply her faith in him had been so entire! And her love for him had so filled her heart and her life! Oh, it had been no light matter to ber. And now what? She could not find relief in tears, as she asked herself that wrenching question. She felt frozen, benumbed. She sat motionless, and stared cp at the first faint star in the gray eky. "Nettie!" a voice called, imperitively and half impatiently. It sas Stanley Mayhew's and he fol lowed it. Ho came hurrying up the bank. "Mrs. Loney told me she saw yon coin ing up here. What on earth You must have known I'd be there. Or, no; I told you the eight o'clock boat, didn't I ? Well, I got through before I thought I should, and here I am." He threw himself down beside bir, a shadowy form in the dimness, and pat ted ber hand by way of greetiug ; nor did be notice that she drew it away quickly and far. He was laughing, and when he had paused a moment to get his breath, he began to explain why. "Now, what do you think?' he de manded. "Now guess! l"ve just peen F.leanor Wells. What do yon t hint she told me?" Nettie shivered. "Well, they're enjraged !" said hc-r lov er, with an air of triumph. What did he mean ? she wondered. But the did not care. What difference did it make what he meant? What dif ference could anything make now? "They're engaged," he repeated. "The trouble is over, the storm isendeJ, and they've got into smooth waters, with the matrimonial port in plain bight. Of coarse she's told you all about Leonard ? Talked to you about him for hours, I supposed T' "No ?" he went on, though Nettie had not ppoken. "I can't believe it! And you such chums! "Wed, I've told you about Leonard, yon know my next older brother who went to California in April to manage a mining syndicate the cleverest fellow you ever saw. "Well, he and Eleanor were engaged. Really, didn't she tell yon ? Why, that's pirt of our family history, for it's an old affair. The Wells children and 'we uns' used to play dolls and tag together, yoa know, and it has alwa.vs been a settled thing, somehow that Eleanor would mar ry Leonard when they got old enough, because they were always sweet on one another. "Well, they had been regularly en gaged for a year or so, when lo, and be hold ! early this spring they had a tiff. "It was about s young Spaniard, that Eleanor didn't care any more alout than she does aboot me; but the spat grew in to a quarrel, and the quarrel ended in Eleanor's sending back poor Len's ring and all his photographs and tin types and presents. "I believe there was a packing box full of them, and Fred and I arranged them in his room and put crape on the door But we were rea'ly broken up about it, all of us. Mother was actually sick for a week. Anl Irfn I.?n was a mental wreck. "lie looked like a ghost. He said he'd got to get away, and first we knew he'd packed np sad gne off to California to manage a syndicate. "I've been glum enough over it I knew Leonard thought the world of her, and that she well, I'll come to the point," said Stanley, with another laugh. "I met Eleanor down at the house jast as I got there, and she told me that it's just fixed op. "She said she knew all the while that she was to blame, and the other day she mustered np courage to wiite and tell Len to, and the very next day she got a long letter from him. "He vowed he was in the wrong and wanted her to forgive hi.u and take him back, and so fjrth and so on. Their letters had crossed each other ; the spirit had moved them both almost at the same time. So now they're both back in their seventh heaven. "I don't see why Eleanor never told yoa. She's just the girl to confide her troubles to a sympathizing girl friend. Rut you siy you didn't know Hello !" He had lighted s match for his cigar, and playfully held it to her face. "Nettie, what is anything'' But Nettie grasped his coat-front with swo tremulous little hands. "And when she told you yoa kissed her?" she queried. "Did you guess that?" he asked, laughing. "Of coarse I kissed her. I was so fclad I didn't know what I was doing; but I should have given her that kiss of brotherly affection and congratu lation if I had known. Why, Nettie why dear " She was sobbing softly. Ofcouraebis cigar fell to the ground, that h:s arms might do their duty. I I've wronged yoa," she sobbed "Yoa and her. Yoa wouldn't speak to. ne again if yoa knew !" Buthedid know two minutes later, and he only laughed and drew her closer. "Now I do know yoa care for me," he declare'!, in high contentment. "And if I hadn't been so jealous of her,". Nettie whispered, "it would never, never have happened. I should have told her of onr engagement then, and she would have trusted me and told me about her affair, and I should never have suspected either of yoa. Oh, Stanley, can you forgive me can yoa ?" Yes, he ould, for he kissed her. "I think yoa had the worst of it little girl," he said, in tender banter. "I know I did," she answered, solemn- "Mamma," said s bright little girl, " Mr. Jones down at tbe corner doesn't have to put in that about daily bread when be says bis prayers." - Why not, my dear ?" " Because he's a baker." HAS THE TRUE RIXG. Platform Adopted by the Republican Convention. The following platform was adopted by the Republican State Convention, which met at Harrisburg last Wednesday, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congressman-at- Large : iisotfi, That the Republican Canven of Pennsylvania, recalled to nominate candidate for Congressman-it-Luge, needs not to be reminded of the fact that this is a representative office, that the situation in Washingtan gives it not only State but national importance, and that it invites the fullest poseib!e expression of the public view on Tuesday, February 20, next, to the end that all our land may know the tenor of current thought upon the most immediate and vital issue pre sented in the Wilson bill. The simple anticipation of this measure Las closed thousands of workshops. It has reduced to idleness 2,000,000 of workers, and soup houses now displace former hives of in dustry. It has reduced values to an amoant greater than the national debt. It will enlarge the free list only upon productions which employ the greatest number of American workmen. It will strike with equal cruelty the farmer, and miner, the lumberman, the iron worker, the glass blower and the textile worker. It will transfer work from our own miils, mines and workshops to those of foreign countries. It is sectional in its author ship andjis all too plainly aimed at North ern industries. AsmmosiL MIWRK. It strikes Southern in lust 1 "us only where the same blow reaches greater Norther k-dastriee. It fosters the planta tion system and destroys the farm. That is an attempt upon the part of the free traders of the South to reduce the indus tries of the North to the level 0 f those of the South. It is vicious in its change from specific toad valorem duties, the latter inviting foreign undervaluations and leading to constant and cumulative frau Js upon the revenues. It is vicious in reducing in stead of increasing revenues. It will re duce the revenues many millions of dol lars, and the reductions will grow wi:h time. It is vicious in compelling the gov ernment to make up these deficits by means of increased internal and direct taxes. It is doubly vicious in ctnupellirig its supporters to resort to the most se rious war taxes on borrowed money. It is wholly erroneous in the theory that the less work there is to do in this coun try, the higher will b9 the wae of the workman. The protective policy conveys the op posing thought, and says that the policy which secures tbe largest amount of work at home is the one which secu-es the best wages to the home workman. j If the Wilson bill does all the things in the threats which it conveys, what will it do in its fruition ? WAR OS THS WILS-lS BIL-. The Republicans of Pennsylvania and J the people of our great Commonwealth as well, declare war npoa it, unceasing war in House and Senate, and its Sena tor and Representatives ia Congress, in cluding the CoDress-naa-at-la-ge nomi nated to-day, are requested to mike this warfare felt in every wise and patriotic way, to the end that by the defeat of the Wilson bill,' Ainericin working nn, pro djcers aud micuLict'jreri may resume that prosperity which the country had but a single year ago. The defeat of the Wilson bill and the consequent retention of the protective pystem will bring this prosperity within :50 days, not alone to the firms, mines, furnaces mil miils and workshops of Pennsylvania, but to every section of our country heretofore devoted to develop ment and improvement. It will restore values and in all ways contribute 1 1 the welfare of the land and happiness of the people. Rrt-iUi'l, That Pennsylvania's recent majority of 1. 1,000 was a most emphatic indorsement of our party's national and Slate platforms, both of which are now reailirmed with the additional declara tion that the Republican party favors tbe i long established policy of our republic to encourage sister republics, howsoever weak, snd foster the spirit of liberty wherever it fires are lighted, so long as this can be done without promoting or encouraging "dangerous foreign alli ance," and in this connection we de nounce the unpatriotic foreign policy of the Democratic national adu-inis'.rat ion in the Hawaiian matter. Commodore Vanderbilt's Bookkeeping When Samuel Barton, the well-known Wall street broker, was a poor boy, he he studied law in S. L. M. Barlow's office. One day he received a cart summons from his ancle, Commodore Yanderbilt, and dutiful nephew that be was he hast ened to find out what that brusque but potential old gentleman wanted of him. He found the Commodore in a high state of indignation over the faithlessness of a trosU-d cashier. "Sam, I've sent f jr yoa because I want yoa tj be my cashier," exclaimed the founder of ttie Yanderbilt riches, vehe mently. "But nncle, I don't know anything about bookkeeping," protested youcg Barton. "Bookkeeping be blowed !" shouted the old Commodore. "You know enough to be honest, don't yoa T "Yes, sir," promptly responded the nephew. "Well, yoa know bow to take money when it is aid in to yoa, don't yoa ?" "Yes, sir." "And yoa know how to pay bills when I tell yoa to pay 'em, don't yoa ?" "Certkinly." "Then yoa. would know enough to give me the balance of the money, wouldn't yoa V "Why, of coarse," said Barton. "Well, that's botkkeeping." And Sam Barton filled tbe bill to his ancle's satisfaction for several years. Alfw York Tiwtc.

A well-known writer thinks the cause of onr trouble in the boise industry is overproduction, lie writes to a contem porary as follows: " I'urinit this period thecia.se for trot ling apeed twk possession of men of wealth and leisure every wuere, an.l im mense breeding farms were established all over the country, and every doctor, lawyer, merchant and preacher that own ed a fairly good mare became poesed of the idea that he could breed a Dexter, a tioldsmith Maid or a Maud S., and so on. Between the age of the European draft and coach breeds ami the ambition to breed a phenomenal trotter from our home stock, everybody, doctors, lawyers, merchants, preachers, teachers, farmers and manufacturers turned to horse breed ing either on a lare or small scale and behold the result : Our country is full of horees fuller in proportion to its popu lation than any other civilized country on the face of the globe and we have simply got to a point where the thing must stop for our human population to catch up with the eq'iine supply, or until w ar, epidemic or natural cause shall have reduced it to normal proportion. " 1 confejsthU U not a cheerful out look, but I believe it is a plain, unvar nished statement of the conditions with which horse-breeders are now confront ed. There is no good in attempting to j deny the facts and there you are. We J have too many horses that's the plain 1 English of it. Of course those that are 1 exceptionally well adapted to any use j which either business or pleasure may j re ; ni re, w ill continue to tind a market at ; nirro rr less remunerative price, but j wl.i so many are bre-1 the r.ui' of se- lecli'-LS will be sogteat that tiione who j have ouly fairly good or inferior ones ! will have hard work to find a market. ! We can't eat them or export them in ; large numbers and thus reduce the sur- j pius, as we do cattle, sheep and swioe j we are shut cp to jut one tiling we must reduce the supply by ceding to brevd froai any bat the very beat mares ; and our breeding most be on defiuite lines, for a definite purpose, and directed by in'e!i;"ence and a knowledge how to breed to hit the market. It is no longer , a qieMion of how many foals that will j be w orth the raisin?. The business wiil j rlifLt itst If after awhile, bat it is the part j of wisdom to adapt ourselves a) speeli- j ly as possible to existing condition. There was a time when it paid to raise any sort of a horse, but that lirae haa passed by, and the present generation of breeders will not see it airain. "The situation is not without some ccKpecsatii.'gadvant.iges. We have a good supply of the best specimens of a1! the desirable breeds of the world, and now that we are compelled to go slow we shall find it a good thing to weed out and breed np with a definite purpose in view, and I predict that the next quarter j of a century will w itness as irreat an in-j crease in the average quality of our horses as that just past ha itntsed in , numbers." Going to Jail in a Hack. One of thf? most surprise 1 men that ever slept a night iu the city jail is a resident of a near-by town. He came to Helena not lonz agrv and starting out w ith a considerable sum of money, so" n became utterly uneousvious of hi tur roitudinjs and lay do-atn to sleep in the middle of Main street. An officer found him there, and calling a back put him into it and took him to the city hall. He was searched acid nearly was foc.nd on his person. it of this the hackman was paid and the visitor was given a lied inthejtil. Thenext morning he was duly sober, and after break fiat he w as toid he could g", no charge being madi against him. "I wonder what I did wilh ray mon ey?' ii'ieiied the man. ' How much did you have ?" was ask ed. "The last I remember I had ?1'.7," he replied. "Well," said the court clerk, "bete is "x), and counting the $150 yt'O paid the hacaman, that makes it all i:ht." The man took the money, counted it, put it in his pocket, and stood fot a mo ment or two apparently in a brown study. Finally, he turned to the clerk and asked : "Did I corns to jail in s hack?" ' "Yoa did, most assurediy," said tie clerk. "Well," said the lodger. "I have heaid of a good many fools in my life, but 1 l lieve I am the bijrjst. The idea of a man hiring a back to take him to j til !' ' The clerk did not tell him that the policeman brouh t him to jtil, and to this day that man believes ha hired a hack and askd to be taken to the lock up. II leiut Hffjhi. Sneezing.

Our observation has convinced as thai instead of getting angry or im patient at a snee, uioet persons greatly enjoy it. We ail know that ia farmer years tuurf-ukinz was aa almost uni versal practice in polite society, and that the object of taking snutf was to super induce that specialty delightful titiilatin. of the nose that precedes and accom panies the act of sneezing.

A Jadfe-e of the Massachusetts Superior Court has a habit of allowing his voice to drop so low that his words can w ith difficulty be heard.

"Send that man out of the Court roou, Mr. Officer 1" said the Judg. The order was obeyed, and the pro ceeding went on.

Suddenly thtrj was a sorea:n, tallo.ved by a hysterical half hour while the servant) were sent in breathless search for the family doctor. When the grave old physician entered the room the poor woman was walking to and fro like one distract.-!, pausing now and then to grasp her crowing ehild to her, than replacing it in its crd!e to resume her nervous tread, weeping and wringing her hands. "t , doctor ! My poor baby 1 Save him if you can ! But I know y.vi can't.
