CROSS PURPOSES.
It waa a'.l Ct-lia's .u:L
If i! La ia't been for her, it aoaij nev
er have tx-curred to me to juArrel with
Jack ; it would never have occurred to
niethat acy q-iurel was nei-eskry to
prove the strength of hid love. I thouid
have taken it fvr graLted and been hap
py s-.;:i.
Ide-.eetCeliA.
We were eo happy LiM she came to
e'ay with Java's people, and to'id me I
wa fjfiiirg Lini.
Uf course it was no bnice.s of hers if
I were she admitted that bat she was
so focd oftne tLaMhe feit ehe icust
sjvak, beir.j; older and iure exi-erienced
than I, and implored urn to rcuieniber
that it wasn't only my lover I was epcil
ir.g, hut my future husbin-J, and if I let
him have his own way in eerything
cow I should never be able to have mine
when we were ma:ried.
Jack and I ij-urreied &t the Home's
doflce last t jLL
I hardly knevr what it was about in
;Le trit instance, but it grew and grew
ncLi! it smed to me there was nothing
we weren't narTeiic about, and Jack
was soon terribly in earcesL
TLouh we had teen engeifor three
weeks, I'd no idea he had il in him to be
eo angry.
And of course I io?t my head and got
anjry, too, reaJiy ac-ry and said horrid
lhing-5, and and I told him that our
engagement was broken off, and there
most bean end of everythinn between'
os arid and Jack took me at my word.
I never .hoLbt of his doing thaL
"As yea please, he said, speaking q'li
el:y ill ofa sudden.
We were in the conservatory, and the
dance inusic in the drawing room must
have drowned the sound of our Toices
half a dvica yards away.
"Von wish our ecagement to end,
Maud? S-j be iL Your letters stall be
returned toyoa to-morrow, and I will at
once leave you frt-e to resume your Sirta
tion with Frank Home."
"But Jack
His fa. was set and white. He never
even looked at me. 1 he music ceased.
Ceiia and several otrer Uanjers strolled
into the conservatory, and he left me.
Yes, he went aaay and danced with
olher g:r, and he never spoke one word
to me or came near me again the whole
evening.
Of course I danced tx. What else
could I do under the circumstances'" I
danced w ith Frank ILorne, and I flirted
with him.
Oar engageaient is broken olT we
have said there is not to be an engage
ment aov more and now
Oh, how miserable I am 1
It is a dull November afiernooa, and
ma.Dtnabas gone out, sol sit alone in
the lire-lit dinning room and think over
a'i that had happened last eight and
oaderwhat Jack's next move will be.
.lreiy sureiy, he cannot mean
He has not returned my letters yeL
buxeiv tiiat is a nopefal sign.
1 am still wearing the ring he give
me. I suppose u he returns my letters I
shall have to
"No, no. I can't part with iL He can't
be eo cruel so unreasonable. "
His letters, too. Must I give them tip?
I turn them over in my band such a
little bundle of thetn as there is, and so
very hard to real till one learns to know
the writing or to love the writer which
is it?
Hark ! Some one is crossing the hall.
Mire.y Jane wont be so foolish as to
show anv one in here now.
In another moment "Mr. Iraytoa' is
announced, and Jack himself stands tie-
fore me.
"Ja:k r I started to my feet, and all
these treasured documents fall rustling
to the floor, bat I never think of them.
Who thinks of love letters in the pres
ence of the writer? Jack is here, my
Ja.k, and
Evil is he in ieed my Jack ?
The first glance at his face recalls me
to myself, and reminds me that be is no
longer my Jack, or Jack at all to me. I
told him I wished oar engagement to
end, and he remembered it evidently,
thoagh I for one brief moment have for
gotten. Oh, Jack Jack !
He Wilts till t':e servant has left the
roam, then Likes a s nail packet from the
breast pocket of L ; coat and tarns to me.
"This mant be my apology for disturb
ing yon," he tajs very formally. "I
thought I had better bring it myself, in
in case cf accidents."
"For me? I epiak vaguely and with-
xat offering to take it. I want to gai n
time.
"Yes your letters. I have no right to
them now !'
"How how beautifully yon have pack
ed them !
He tarns away with an impatient gust
are, and lays them ou the table.
"I need not de:eia yoa any longer
now my errand is done, be says.
"Bat but there is something else.
Oh, yoa forget 1" as he looks at me qaes
tioningly. "Yoa Lave returned my letters, (how
cin thank yoa for such promptness?)
bat yoa forget yoor own. As yoa say I
have no ri:ht to them now."
"Yoa wish me to take them? Very
well."
But I do not wish him to take the to
set
ESTABLISHED 1827.
PA., WEDNESDAY,
anythingbnt U-aL I want to postpone
the moment of parting. That is all.
"Will you be good enou.h to fetch
them?"
"They are here on the floor. Will
yoa be good enough to help me pick
them ap
He does so without a word. Together
we stoop and collect them. Together we
lay them on the table. Together for the
last time.
I bring paper and string and proceed
to pack them np, while he watches me in
silence.
"I fear this will not be such a neat par
cel as yours," I say, speaking as steadily
as I can, and bending over the table to
hide my troubled face. "Yoa know I'm
never good at this sort of thing."
"I know."
"I can't do it 1" and great tear splash
es on the packet. "I'm very sorry,
but-"
"Don't bother about it," and he Iay
his hand on mine suddenly. "No need
for such a fuss. Give them to me as they
are."
"What are yoa going to do with
them T as he takes them from my tremb
ling hands.
"Put them in the fire T and he turns
to do so.
"No, no, no 1" I cry, springing forward
and laying a detaing me hand on his arm
"Oh, don't Jack!"
"Why not?" pausing. "Yoa dont
want them, and I'm sure I don'L"
"I I do. Please give them back to
me."
-What for T'
"To keep. To remind me "
"kf my folly 7"
"Of my own. I"
"Yoar folly is over and done with. Our
engagement if broken off," he says mood
ily. "Detter forget that it ever existed."
"I cannot do that," w ith an irrepressi
ble little sob. "I am waiting for those
letteia."
"Take them, them," and he throws
them down on the table. "Keep them
to compare with Home's, if you like. I
don't care."
"How can yoa insult me eo? What
right hare you to think me so mean, so
heartless?" I ciy, indignantly. "And
ycaciredfor me once, or pretended to."
T did care ; I care now, though I k now
I'm only a fool for my iains," bitterly.
"Heartless, do yoa say? How can I
help thinking yoa hearties after your
conduct last night?"
"My conduct? and what of yours? If
I danced with Frank, and, yes, flirted

The Judge Was IV'oved.
"There was a good joke played on
Judge Dandy, of the United States C-oart,
at Omaha, several years ago. It makes
me laugh every time I sea the Judge's
name in print," said Thomas A. Weaver
last night, "Jadge Dandy is quit tender
hearted and dreds to send a married
man to jiil. Well, there was a fellow on
trial for passing counterfeit money. He
was a single man and the case against
him was quite strong. Jadge Baldwin
was defending him, and seeing that the
case was hopeless, Baldwin decided to
take ad vantage of Jadge Dandy's weak
ness. He hunted np an old lady who
had five children, ranging from S yeaTS
to S months old, and had her imperson
ate the supposed wife and children of
the prisoner. All through the the trial
they sat, often weeping. The man was
found guilty. Three days later, when
the prisoner was brought np to be sent
enced, the woman and children were
brought in and Judge Baldwin, who is
very dramatic, made a plea for the man
and his family of littlelones, who would
suffer if the fkther was sent to prison.
Baldwin wept, the Coart wept, the pris
oner pretended to weep, as did the
women and the children. When the
Court had wiped away the tears he talk
ed severely to the man and then gave
him one day in jail and 1 10 fine. Later
on, when he learned how he had been
deceived, he became so angry that it was
weeks before he would speak to Jadge
Baldwin. When the joke got out every
one twitted the Court. After that the
sight of a handkerchief applied to the
eyes in Judge Dandy's court was liable
to get the prisoner ten years."

Telephones on Railroads.
In France the management of some
of the railroad companies think cf re
placing the telegraph by the telephone
even for the transmission of important
orders. There are some railroa.ls with
light trailic where the telepkone is al
ready thus used, but the entire substi
tution of the telephone would be diili
culL The single iron conductors used
for the telegraph would not be suitable
and it would be necessary to establish
special telephone lines with double wire.
Ob the Yincennes Railroad in the sta
tions between Paris Bastille and I.a
Yarenne, w hich are at distances of about
one mile, at a signal by telegraph the
telegraph wires are connected with the
telephone instruments and are thus made
available for an extended telephonic
intercourse. The arrangement gives
excellent results. The Northern Rail
road of France has established on trial
telephene stations oa the open road along
some of its niaia lines, through which
assistance can be summoned from the
stations in case of accidenL The stations
are equipped with telephone receivers.
Portable telephone instruments are ia
use on some small French roads. The
large Austrian railroads ue field tele
phone instruments of the Gattingi-r sys
tem, which in a fe minutes can be
connected with the telegraph wires at
any point, their cse not interrupting the
telegraphic communication. I n ier

Ingenious Meanness.
A good etory comes from
ing vilbge and a report of the ingenuity
of man's acquisitiveness may be a poin
ter for some of th ooeot averse to turn

reported that a village not far from here
iscntoanew racket because a certain
brother in the fold, who takes an active
part in church work, and ia whom im
plicit confidence baa been placed by Lis
associates, has been detected haviig a
piece of sticky fly-paper in his hat when
he went to take up the collection at the
church. All the coins that dropped
upon the fiy -paper stayed there, and it
was amazing ho the big pieces crowd
ed the little ones off.
When the audience had been solicited,
this smooth individual woull advance
and turn his hat npside down over that
of another who hail been soliciting the
audience on the other side of the hou.?.
All the coin that dropped belonged to
the church, and all that remained in the
hat w ts to remunerate him for the troub
le, so to speak. There is said to be blood
oa the face of the moon, and the good
brother, who has political aspirations,
and the ones wno caught him in the act
are having a time.
The sequel is yet to be written, but
when da rfodils lgin to show their hea Is
through the sun-kissei soil and buls
herald the leafy days of springtime, a
convocation of wise men and elders of
the church is expected to sit on the Tat

its newly discovered uses.

Long-Distancs Llzht.
Professor Alexander Graham Bell is spend
ing these months at bis summer home in

His out-door work is devoted to experinien'

Professor Laiit'ey of the Smithsonian In
stitution, while in his laboratory he is en
deavoring to demonstrate a problem to
which he has given a great deal of thought,
and ia which Le thoroughly beiievt. It
is to harness electricity to liht, as it has
been harnessed to Sound, so that people may
be able to see a great distance, just as the

He insists that tte fact has aiready been
