Her Bit of Heroism and Pretty Ro mance. HAKKIKT I KAXCKXE t"K H'KKK. The July sun Isjrned on the white sand along the lieaelu Far out a Ltzy sail gleamed faintly white agaiitst the ha.y blue sky, and nearer a flock of gray-winged sea-birds fluttered by,lij piug and raising leisurely in their flight Leah wantlered along the shore, sheltered by her sun umbrella, stop ping now and then to rest a few mo meats on a liowlder or an inviting heap of sand, lx-ndiug over listlessly to watch the star fish wriggling and twisting aliout in the water, digging a pink-lined sea-shell out of the sand with the toe of her pretty Imot, tracing idle, dicsonnected words in theyieldingsaiid The girl's tlwuights were far away. One could see that by the altseiit look in the dark brown eyes, and the un conscious ajiaitdonmcnt in every feat ure. Still, half-mechaniea'ily, she kept her watchful gaze uikiii the group of chil dren playing near her in the sainL Four happy little people they were, pails and shovels in hand, digging in dustriously and Ltlairiously after imag inary treasures hidden away beneath tempting mounds running I tick and forth with Mater in their little red tin ails, and laying out wonderful parks and gardens, with Walks shell-lrdiT- cd aud lakes shell-trimmed. Their wkle straw hats were tied securely un der dimpled chins. Icah IukI tiil the blue rililnms herself, knowing by expe rieiice the saucy tricks a sea breeze plays with wide-brimmed hats. I-ah sst and watche.1 them languid ly haikeil at the tight little lare feet, sun-browned and sturdy, burrowing in the warm sand, at the ever-restless, ev er-moving little Unites, lithe and grace ful with the unconscious freedom of childhiMaL A fresh wind came in from the ocean, lifting a tress of brown hair that had strayed across the girl's fore head, fluttering her thin white draiK-r-ies and trying to K-ar away in a breezy frolic the pale blue riblsm at her throat. A faint color glowed in the delicate facj. Youth was hers, and health, and lowliness of form and feature; but the girl's heart ached with loitt liness and longed for friend-hip. Only three mouths since her mother had died, leaving her alone in the world, almost leuuiless ami iuite friendless, a slen der young thing to lMittlc for herself and lalior with her weak hands to earn her daily breaiL At first she had tried to new; lut knowing tlial her health would break with the long hours and the confinement, she had given it up and advertised for a situation as nur sery governess. Mrs, RoU'rt Stevens, who desired a governess for her four young hopefuls, sent for the girl, and was so pleased with her appearance that she engage! her services at once. Something in the sad, sweet face attracted her and gave her confidence in the young stran ger upon whom grief had laid its heavy hand. Mrs. Stevens was a tri fle arbitrary in her way, which was not wleolly unpleasant, "Miss Rrevh-r," she had said a day or two after arrival, "yi will pardon me for saying so, but really if you could lear to dis-ard your mourning I should le gratifieiL Rlack is so Soul ier for the children; they do not like it it oppresses them. You can lay it aside, cat: you not? Xot tlmt I am un feeling," sne added hastily, as L.-ah's eyes filled with sudden tear "not that at all; but if J'ou could bring yourself to do so it would le much plcasanter for all of us." She looked kindly at the girl standing there with head drooping and hands cla.-iM.-l ner vously together. "Io as yai think b.-st," she said, "lait if you could wear white or something bright the children would like it U tter. You may go now ami think it over," and Mrs. Stevens dismissed Iter with a wave of her jew eled hand. Ix-ah liad gone to her room with an aching heart ami eyes heavy with tears. A weary, helpless, hopt'less feeling surged through her, making her feel herself more and more friendless ami alone. Even her nutuming dress, the visible token of riiM-t and love for the dear dead m.tther must 1m laid aside. "Yes, must," she had said, to herself, "for it means bread and butter to me." That night Mrs. Stevens noted with approval the simply-made gown of soft cream-color which fell so artistical ly around the slender figure, and con gratulated herself upon the suecesw of her scheme. She had a kind Heart, al ter alL "She will ba happier Uause of it, pror thing," she said to herself. "I do hope she am! the children will get along well together." And so while the July sun lay warm upon the sanns and the distant sail fad ed into the horizon, Leah sat witu sail, dark ?yes turned toward the children. Site had grown to love them tenderly; and tlxHigh they were selfish little creatures and dearly spoiled by an over indulgent mother, they gave evideuces of loving their young governess In re turn. Iieah liked to feel their soft lit tle anus about her neck, and the warm cheeks laid against hers; she liked to hear them talk and ask their wonder ing questions about everything. They were never tired of Leah's stories. Their round, rosy faces grew demure and serious always when he U-gan to weave for them some fanciful creation of her own mind, or some old romance front her readings, simplified for the childish ears. TiMlay they were Umj busy even for story-telling, and I-ah was left alone in thought; but every now and then a little red tin i:iil would le set down for a moment while the small owner rait to her for an emphat ic hug or a whispered secre t. Leah had been a lucmU-r of the household three months now, and still had no other friend than the children. Mrs. Stevens was kind to her, in her condescending way, the master of the house was coolly courteous, and the visitors treated her as a servant In dee!, she esiM-cted or wished nothing else; he was grateful for her well-Ntid osition, for the work that left her lit tle time to grieve or long for other things, for the shelter of a home. She was content to remain what she was a nursery governess; but her In-art longed for friendship. There was one, though, who had trotted her as if she were an equal one whose kind words aud little unos tentatious acts of courtesy had touched her heart and made her her grateful. The children said Uncle Harry was gtaal to everyUsly, aud Leah believed it. What kind, true eyes he had, and want a strong tine face! Ix-ah had on ly seen him once he had j Kissed a week at his sL-ter's home some time before. She was thinking of him to day of some little kindly service he had rendered her, of how much little Harry's eyes were like his uncle's, brave and fcark-ss and steadfast. They were looking into hers now, aud little Harry had dropped down by her side to tell Miss Leah once more how much he loved her. "As much as the big ocean, Miss Iieah," he was saying, stretching out his chubby arms toward the blue expanse and looking up at her roguishly. Leah's heart wanned. It was a smiling face that leaned towards him as she tied the red ribbons more securely. S Ieah was not entirely unhappy, after all, with one true little heart tilled with childish love for her. "My brother is coming on the even ina: train, Miss Rrevier," Mrs. Stevens said, one after noon, "ami I wish to give him a little surprise. It is his birthday and I must get some flowers from the greenhouse for the table. We are to have a few friends in to sja-nd the evening, aud I am tM busy to go and select the flowers. Can't you do it for nie? Your taste Is ierfect, and it would oblige me greatly. Take the io-nj- -arriage or walk, as you prefer. The chamU'riiiaid will look after the chil dren while you are gone." Leah chose to walk. The day was beautiful, and two miles were nothing to her. When she returned, an hour later, she was startled to s her mis tress running wildly toward her with hands clasped tightly and face color less, llefore Ix-ah c.mll sp.-ak she cried out: "Oh! it is little Harry. We have lost him! Annie misled him from the oth ers, and we have searched and s-arch-cd, but we cannot find him anywhere, Oh! my pir lust baliyT' The mother's face was pittiful in its anguish. "What shall we do? What shall we do?" she novated, wildly. "Xo one is at home but three women, and we can do noth ing!" Ix-ah dropped the liuskct of flowers aud sjel down to the twach with fly ing feet The children were there, frightened and crying, and the dis tressed Annie was running distracted ly up and down. Leah stepped umui a huge Utultlcr and shielded her eyes from the setting sun while she haiked far out Ji-on the tinted waves. Far out she could discern something tlark, which looked like a Nut. As the sun touched it she fancied she could catch a flash of something white. Could it I Harry's little straw hat?" "Annie," she called out, suddenly, "was there a Umt here this afternoon a row Umt?" A quick lsk of terror spread over the girl's face. "Oh, there was miss, there was. I remeinlvr now! I called little Harry away front it tw'uv. He said he was going to Xew York to see Uncle Harry. Oil, iNMr dear! aMr dear! Who will go after him? Who will go after him?" "I will," Ieah saiiL There was not a vestige of color in her face or lips. "The tide is going out and he has drift ed away. (Sod help me to save him!" Without another word she ran along the Umch to a place where she knew a Uait was kept- Oh, if it should la? locked! There were no near ncighUrs; as far as she could see along the U-aeh not a man was visible. Whatever was to 1m? done must be done quickly, and by her. She found the Uiat unlta-ked. She unfastened it with trembling hands, stepped into it, and rowed away with swift strong strokes that Utre her out rapidly. She dared not stop to think if herself or her timidity when on the water alone; she tluaight only of Har rylittle Harry mt there at the mercy of the twsiiig sea. She rowed steadily, her lips closely shut, her head erect, her feet braced firmly in the Uiat. Site saw the little group ou the beach the children and the frightened sen-ant and the tall, stately mistres receding more ami more as she rowed out to sea. At last they grew indistinct, and she turned and loooked for the Unit It was in sight, but oh, so far away! A silent prayer went up from her full heart a prayer fir strength and courage in this time of need. She would not waste her strength in use less calling; lsdes it might frighten the lonely little puitscuger. She pray ed that he might have fallen asleep. If he aere only lying quietly in the U4tom of the Ustt he might be safe until she reached hint but if he should grow frightened and lean over the side of the b sit her heart grew sick with in her. PiMir babv! how she loved him in tliat hour. A sudden squall oanie up almost without warning. The sky grew black w ith living clouds, and the wind tss- el the salt spray into the girl's white tav. Always afraid of storms she trembled from head to ftst now, and her heart seemed to stop heating when a sudden flash of lightning blinded her for a moment, Every minute scciirhI an eternity. Her arms were giving out there seemed to be no more strength in them; and still she rowed on and on, drenched M'ith rain and chilled througli. She reached the lit tle Uiat at hist, and with a glad cry stretched out her hand and gnisjunl the edge. "Harry, Harry, darling are you awake?" There was no answer, and for one brief moment her heart stood still. The squall had imisxsI over as sudden ly as it had come, but it M'as growing tlark. Still she could see the child as she had hoped, fast asleep ill tile Ut tom o' the Ut safe! It Mas a difficult matter to lift him into her Ut(, but she did it at last, and he M-as I ieside her, Mann and rosy, his drowsy little voice telling her how he started otf "to see Uncle Harry." Ia ah let him prattle on. She could only smile at him it was no time fur Monls; all her mind aud strenjrth centered on one thing, how to reach the shore. How far away it seemed! She could see the distant lighthouse lamps twink ling like stars. She roM-cd towards it it was not far front home. Rut she was growing M'cak; her strokes M-ere less strong and steady, her arms Relied IKiinfuIly ami every nerve seemed stretched to its utmost tension. Oh, for strength for a little M hile longer! Perhaps they Mould send help from the shore. Oh, if some one Mould only come! some strong soul to relieve her. She seemed iassing off into uncon sciousness; a faintiicss that M'as like death Ugall to steal over her. Little Harry's voice sounded far away; her aniks relaxed, and for a few minutes the Uwt drifted. Suddenly she sat up, erect and wide aw ake. A voice M as (tilling to her over the waters. She answered, and it call ed again. Again and apt in she ans wered; nearer and nearer it sounded thank Ood! A Uwt touched hers. A big, M ann hand M'as laid on hers, a strong, deep voice sjaike broken word of comfort and pity, and then she knew that help had come at last, and yielded to the ovcrjioweriiig languor that oppressed her. When she came back to conscious ness she found herself I v i nir Uon a blanket in the bottom of tire boat, with little Harry cuddled clow U-si.le her, and la-fore her a dark form U-ndiiig at the oar.

Threaten Te AboUia the atone System. Typewriting by electricity ha at last U-t-ii accomplished, and the inventor says the days of the Morse instrument are iiumU'red, says the Chicago Ib ntlil. Inventions iu which the mystcriis fluid is the force faiwer have crowded so fast into the patent office that the li-t w ould, if printed, require a Uaik of tremendous dimension to rvtn.nl it. The many thiHisamLs of these product of the mechanic's brain must U" sched uled under the head of toys, however. Few have ia-en found in evt-ry-day practicability, and still fewer have rev olutionized existing conditions. Among tiie latter the telephone and illuminat ing appliances stand out most promi nently. Ever si nee the ue of electricity U-gan to lie uii-lcr-tood the mind of thou sands of inventors have Iwvii turned toward a solution of the problem of re producing either natural or artificial handwriting at a distance and thus se cure to the world a system of tele graphy into which no mistakes save those at the transmitting end of the M ire, could enter. The Union Xews and Telegraph Company, with its home office in Xew York, ha ojH'iied a West ern deartment 'a the Montauk lll.H-k, and i preparing to submit a general and public test of the wonderful ma chine. Electrical inventor are a unit in the opinion that the Kssick iige priuting telegraph instrument, for that is the name of the newcomer, is a tit companion in usefulness to the tele phone, and that the invention I the mist imjiorlant one since the people of the civilized world commenced to trans mit their voice over wire. A n-prescnative of the Jf--rtl was IMTmittcdto examine the in.-miment yester.Liy and tosubmit it to test that proved its practicability in hundreds of hu-inc fields and fr domestic pur-prss-s. One of the most remarkable things aUut the new invention i its simplicity. The transmitter is simply theeyUtard of a tyja-w rit-r, contain ing all the letter of the alphaU-t and and the numeral. In that jairtioii of the machine where the cylinder carries the paiM.r into the tyjM?writ-r there is in the printing telegraph instrument. a half-inch shaft into w Inch are fixed a many tiny po-ts as there are letters and numerals on the kevUmrd. These little p.ist extend from the shaft aUiut an eighth of an inch, aud the line I in spiral form. In-ide the receiver, or where the act ual writing is done, a thread like that of a screw Is cut on a second shaft, and this is an exact Init greatly reduced re production of the form of the spiral line of ps.ts. It I- here that the electric contact Is made. At the other end of the shaft, in the receiver, is a circular wheel containing the letter and fig ures, which revolvts and prints ou ex actly the same principle a in the "tick ers" M hich may 1m; seen in any broker's office. lloW THK PMNTIXtJ IS laiNK. Instead of printing on a large tajv, as iu the "ticker," the machine cause a line to 1m M ritteii aero a page, and the shifting and lining Is all done auto matically. Ry pressing on the desired letter on the keyUtard an anu, similar though longer than the ones Mhich carry the type to the rihUn in the type writer, is raised to the shaft, which re volves with great rapidity until a con tact M ith the point of the anu and the lak-t corresnding Mith "the key is lil:td-. Toe:i the little wh.-cl st ;, l.umjis up against the white apcr, aud leave the impression of the letter. The principle involved in thl action I pre cisely that illustrated in a music Ux. The little posts which extend from the cylinder all have a duty to iM-rfonn, and their position on the cylinder de termine the air they produce with their contact with the forks. The spac ing 1 done M ith the same action as ap plies in the tyiM'writt-r. When theend of the line is reached the pressing of one key causes the holder containing the white aer to shift ami at the same time raises it the space of a line. The practical use of this wonderful invention are illimitable. The machines may U oiM'rated at the limit of distance to w hich electrical force may Im? carried, and what that distance is no man can say. Very trifling is the loss of force ol-crved at the receiving end of the ocean cable. So at least three thou sands miles is no olnstacle iu the May of the transmission of characters which convey intelligent meaning. The printing telegraph instrument require no greater current than the Morse in strument, and M ill do the work at a great a distance and far more accurate ly. NO KKKoK-S IX TRANSMISSION. To a single wire may Im attached a great a numU-r of receiver a to the ordinary telegraph instrument. The machine can not lie, a the Morse in strument frequently dM-. Climatic conditions frequently cause the arbi trary alphaU-t of dots and dashes to Iveonu? jumbled in transmission. For one letter another may Im? checked o'.iL Added t- these dangers to correct trans mission are the frequent errors mode by the oia-rutors themselves. These are among the reasons why the greatest telegraph companies refuse to admit responsibility unless the message l "reiM-atcL" The field of usefulness to which the printing telegraph instrument Mill Im? welcomed are almost unliiuittsL In the transaction of railroad business alone the instrument M ill, the owners say, force out the More iustnimcttt within a short time. A few of the ad vantages to lie gained may Im? descriU ed a follows : At a majority of the railway stations along any of the great trunk lines the agent is the Uiggage man, ticket seller and telegraph iM-ra-tr. To the error of rural operators many of the most distressful accident have U-en due iu the past. With a hundred duties crowding upon him at aUiut the hour for the arrival of trains it is little wonder that lie lMeomes easi ly U-fuddletl, and the use or omission , of so little a M-ord as "not" In instruct ion from the train dispatcher hasm-.re than once hurled two rushing train together in disastrous collision. The station agent is frequently alsa-nt from hi jsist, or, overworked, he falls asleep. KKl'hl Vl.Vti OI'KKATOK Is fXXKt Ks. KV. The printing t l.-grnplt instrument completely aU Iihe all such dangers. The ojT.itor may go to slep, but the message may lie delivered just the same, and w hen he awak" there are his in structions plainly printed fr him. II . nets! neglect no sw itch or to fail to fill the station lanqis. His instruction M-ill U' waiting for him when he re turns to hi lair. In other words, where it takes two persons to operate the Morse instrument a sender and a receiver Isit one is necessary to per form Utter M-ork M ith the new ma chine. As is generally known, it Is much easier to send than to receive in the pre-ent system of telegraphy. The great majority of error oe-urring under the Morse system may Is charged to the operator receiving the message. There tan ! no mistake in the new system at the receiving etnL The send er of the message presses the U-ttcr "If and it is asohitcly certain that the letter R will instantly Im- printed on the M-'nite paper at the other end of the line. A general order intended for every office on the circuit can U- trans mitted with outr sending it. Or if the order I intciHhil Uit for one office and it I desirable' that other office f the circuit shisild not know its content all may Im? switched aside save the one wanted. All of the railroads maintain station and js ints usually denominated a. "crosi roatls" for the sole reason that the conductors of train may U- in structed whether to Hill onto the siding and let "Xo. ias. At all ioint-t where siding are placet! there must te a telegraph ojit-rator. The printing telegraph instrument would do away M ith all the wayside telegraph station. At the pnqM-r point ujan the track could Im? placed an instrument within a case similar to a Chicago patrol Ux and the conductor of each train would find plainly written instructions await ing him. The saving to the railroad comjiaiiics would la? eiMnnHis U-sides, a the inventor p int out, preventing error. MOKSK OI'KRATOKS NOT KK.l IKKI. Another point of vast significance i that any man, woman or child, w ho can read, can operate the machine M ith a few htKirs' practice ami send a mes sage a rapidly as the fastest oja-rator int he w orld could take it from the M ires under the present system. Resides tliat the accuracy attained isof vital import ance. Audit Is al-o (a tinted out that while many otf.-rators can iundK:t 14o and lsD words a minute on the or dinary tyjewritcr from dictation the mechanism of the page-printing tele graph itistnmieiit will not -nuit i f more than a third of such sliced. I leiicc the sending iM-ratr is forced to la? careful. At all times when he is send ing a message the same apja-ar U-fore his eyes in legible tyi-, this U-ing another safeguard against inaccuracy, U-sides maintaining a correct copy of the mes-age sent. Mr. Ensick declare his invention i b Hind to revolutionize pre telegraph ing. The instrument will transmit by a single sender the same new to any nuinU-r of ncwsj-tH-rs in all the citie councctetl, and Int a single M ire M-ould Ik? required, running from the main districting office. Instead of having a receiving oi-rator, as I necessary under the Morse system, press dis patches would come in plainly printed on wide siiis, and when the telegraph editor wanted "copy," the office Uy could tear offa few yards. The sv-tem may also Im? applied to "siM-cial" tele gram. The A ruld employs a score of operator to transcrila? the siM-cial and exclusive matter scut in by its own cor resonilciit.s throughout the world. It L claimed for the new invention t4iat instead of these men a similar numU r of machines set up in the (ierating room would do the work more accu rately, ami here again the office I sy Mould shine. His duties in tearing off the dispatches might Im? likened to the farmer trim carries away the grain from the thrasher. The machine dot-s it alt lut place the copy n the editor's desk. SAVIN OK TIMK IS IMPORTANT. It frequently happens that important news M-curs in out-of-way places for example, a railway accident five miles or more from a telegraph station. The reporter details! on the work must drive to the scviie of the accident, se cure the facts, return to the telegraph station and w rite out his report, which must again Im? transcriUnl by the oper ator sending it and again by the s-r.i-tor receiving it. All this takes time, and when the accident or event conic at a Lite hour it I largely a matter of g.atd fortune if the matter reaches the office iu time for the regular edition. With the page-printing telegraph in strument, the inventor declares all this trouble would Im? done away with. Thereorter could take along an instru ment it M-eighs aUtut ten p.MinLs all I a statu a he liad gathered the facts could tap a wire and write hi matter, whicli wimld appear simulta neously in the receiver at his office.
