AMBITIOUS NELLIE.
SIIIUI.KY ItKOWXt".
It was one of those sweet, dream-like
flays in Oitolier, when the vanishing
summer-tide wems to east a bright
KlniKt' la-hind, when the golden-rods
Maze a!"tiL' the road-side and the retl
k-aves plow Jn crowtii-d piths; when
one would faney winter an impossibili
ty anil sunshine a permanency.
Nellie had not even stopped for her
Ixmnet when she ran out into the or
chard to get a laket of "tril-d sweets"
to stew for tea. The yellow leaves
blew down into her hair like tricky
sprites, the sweet air fanned her cheeks,
and a locust directly over head, wound
his bugle with a certain exultation.
She stood still to breathe in the autumn
freshness.
Nellie Ikiver was pretty with a solid
built sulistantuil ty'ic of pretlincss.
There was nothing fragile or ethereal
alsHit her, any more than there would
be about the tini-k slave, if that much
talked about young woman were dress
ed in common clothes and set to work
in a farm house kitchen.
"John," she cried, crisply, to the of
fending younger brother, as he came at
this unfortunate moment in sight, "if
you ever do such a thing again "
'If ever I rfwTf do it, you mean,
said Johnny, giMNl-hiuuorcdly, as he
hoisted up the top liar himself. "Yes,
I know. It was awful careless of me.
Hut I say, sis, there's a "tackage for you
at the express oflh-e. A dollar and a
juartcr to pay."
'A package, John."
'Yes, a package, directed to Miss
Nellie Ikiver, with De Korate & Paii
thestr's stamp on it. I didn't bring it,
lecause I hadn't the money to pay the
express charges."
'John, for oikv in your life you act
ed sensible," said Nellie, scaking in a
low, hard voice. "A dollar and a
juarter, indeed ! ror the privilege of
getting those horrid paintings on satin
tuck, with Messrs. De Korate A Pan-
thcar's 'compliments and ln-st thanks,
and regrets that the overcrowd-d state
if the market prevents their accepting
he inclosed s".-cimciis of art.' No ! If
the express ottlee wants a dollar and a
Uartcr, let them take the goods to pay
exjsi'nses. "
Johnny chuckled as he bit into the
rosy side of a juicy apple.
"You aid half a dollar last week,"
said he, "for the return of that thrill
ing love story that the editors didn't
accept !"
I know that," said Nellie; "but
'm not going to be a fool the second
time."
I've seen worse stories than that,"
oliserved Johnny, meditatively, cnineh-
ng his apple. "I wonder they didn't
print it. Two murders and an altduc-
ion and a lot of dialect trash, a In fale-
ionable novelist ! It ought to have gone
down !"
John, you wretch V cried Nellie;
'how do you know what was in it?"
"Oh, I read it that day you went to
the husking picnic ! It wasn't so bad
tell you," as5crt"d the youthful critic,
Miking around for a second apple.
Rut the fifty cents for having it re-
u rued that was a dead loss, eh, Nell ?"
"I've burned the hatcfurstufr," said
Nellie, with a grimace. "I never want
o see it again. Oh, John, you don't
know what your privileges are T'
Ehf" said John, turning his hon-
st, freckled countenance toward the
excited siK-aker.
" You can bind yourself appretice to
trade. You ran run away to sea.
You can earn a livelihood no matter
what detides. You aren't a woman !"
"No ; thank fortune f said compla
cent John. "Rut all the same, Nell,
you needn't put on such a long face."
"What can I do?" sighed Nellie,
slowly flinging apple after apple into
the basket - "I wrote to the Corres
pondent's Column' and laid my cast
before them. Rut it was no use."
"What did they say?" asked John.
Once more Nellie screwed her rosy
lips into a letter O, and frowned omi
nously. "They told me to go to work, doing
what I could do lcst. I can't do any
thing In1.
"You're a dalwter at school teach
ing," Haiti John.
"What good does that do me when
Huldah Hall has secured the district
school ?"
"You can make boss crullers and gin
gerbread," suggested the loyal young
er brother.
"So can every other woman In the
Verlet Vale."
"I heard Aunt Jane say you made
the prettiest button-holes she ever saw.'
" Yes," acknowledged Nellie taking
up the ltasket, which was now full,
"but I can't put liutton-lioles on the
market And oh, John, I do so want
to earn a little money ! There are so
many of us children, and father has to
work so hard "
"I never saw anything like you wo
men," said Johnny, aiming an apple
at a bunhy-tiileil chipmunk on the
nearest rail, and signally missing his
target "You don't know how to get a
grip of things."
"What on earth do you mean, John
ny?" "What's the reason you can't put

button-holes on the market Just as well
as anything else?" demanded John,
"When I was in New York that time
Uncle Elihu bought his new threshing
machine, and took me with him 'cause
1 kept head of the class all the term,
didn't I new printed up tin a big gilt
sign ou Eighth Avenue, JIuHon-tofcM,
Tuior-inatlc, I jutftir.' "
"Rut I'm not a tailor."
"You can make button-holes, can
you?"
"And I'm not in New York."
"You can go there. There's no de
mand for lmt ton-hole here. There is
in New York, or those fellows couldn't
live. Eh ? Oo you see ?"
"John," said Nellie, thoughtfully
"I lielievethere's 'methtidiu your mad
liess.' "
"You bet!" said Johnny. "Now
look here. Let's make some excuse to
go to New York, Nell, you and I. Ix-t's
see if there ain't some show for you,
Father and mother needn't know but
that we've gone to see Rill Donley's
wife's new restaurant. She's often in
vited us. We'll prosjiect a little."
Nellie was so pleased that she actual
ly kissed Johnny, a performance that
rilled his youthful mind with astonish
ment, not to say dread.
"Don't do that, ;Nell," said he.
"You mean well, but I ain't used to
kissing. A stick of chewing gum when
we go by the new store now, I should
appreciate that more."
'Nellie ami her brother carried out
their little plan. They found the place
and discovered up three air of stairs a
grim-faced New England woman pre
siding over a squad of girls, each of
them with more work than she knew
how to finish.
"I'm glad to get more hamls," said
.Mrs. Ilawlcv. "mere am t one wo
man in a thousand Knows how to
make a button-bole. You are the
thousandth one" with a glance at
Nellie's sample "I'll pay you by the
day or by the button-hole, just which
you prefer."
I would rather lie paid by the tjuan
tity of button-holes I make," said Nel
lie, valiantly.
Mrs. Haw ley nodded approval.
"That shows you're sure of yourself,"
said she. "I do like grit !"
"Rut where am I to live?" hesitated
Nellie. "It would oost too much ami
take) too much time to go up and down
to Verlet Vale every day."
"You can rent a room in the neigh
borhood and lsmrd yourself, cheap,"
suggested Mrs. Hawley, "and g.i home
Saturday nights and stay until Monday
morning, if you please. Some of my
young women club together and hire a
floor. It conies more reasonable."
Nellie caught at the idea at once, and
n two week's time she was well initiat
ed into the details of her new profes
sion. It was tierhaps less high s milli
ng than literature, more prosaic thin
art, but it was a pntfession, anil the
money Nellie earned was very precious
n her sight,
Moreover, it was an agreeable sur
prise to her, at the end of the first fis
cal month, to discover that she had
paid all expenses, and that there was
yet a modest surplus to lie laid aside
for future exigencies.
"Rutton-holc making !" nitlcd Miss
Huldah Hall, when she heard of the
n.-w enterprise. "Well, for my iirt, I
would have chosen something genteel !
low can Nellie ltver expect o make
a creditable match if she stoops to such
business as tliat?"
Johnny pursed up his mouth when
thissiH-cch was repeated to him.
"Well," said he, "guess, any how
you can tlx it, ur Nell will make some
sort of a match U-fore Huldah Hall
d ics. A vinegar-tongued old cat like
hat V
Nellie had lieen enrolled in Mrs. I law-
ley's "tailor-nuide coqH for several
weeks, when, one slip-icry, sleety, De-
cemltiT night, a young man came into
the "office" with a flat brown paicr
parcel in hid hand. It was nearly the
our for closing.
Is this the ltutton-hole making
lace?" rather bashful akcd the young
man.
Miss Dowling, the forewoman nod-
led curt ley.
"I've got a dozzen button-holes that
want made in a silk dress body right
away," said the young man, evidently
niharrassed at finding himself among
such a ls?vy ttf girls.
"You can leave 'em," said Miss Dowl
ing, with a glance at the black silk
waist which he now took from the pa
p.r wrappings. "Name, please?"
"But," said the young man, "that's
just what I can't do. I must have the
waist lwck again in two hours."
"Impossible !" was Miss Dowling's
verdict.
"Couldn't you sew them in two
hours?" asked the young man appar
ently much discomfited.
"It's closing time," said Miss Dow
ling. "Our young women are going
home. We can't take occasional jolm
like that," and she turned the safe key
with a snap.
N .; Ikiver took pity upon the
would-be customer's blank dismay.
"Oive it to me," said she, "I'll do
it !"
Miss Dowling stared.
"It will take you two hours at least,"
said she.
"Oh, I don't mind," said Nellie,
cheerfully.
"I am ever so much obliged," said
the young man, drawing a long breath
of relief.
Miss Dowling went away with a toss
of her head. One by one the other girls
dropped off, until Nellie sat alone by
the drop light, stitching busily, the
customer sitting oposite.
"How much a in I to pay j-ou !" said
the young man, secretly wondering at
the length and silkiness of Nellie's eye
lashes as they droo-ied over her work.
"Ten tvnts apiece Is our price," said
Nellie.
"I'd pay it and l thankful if you
akcd twice the money," said the cus
tomer. "You see, It's for my mother.
She's liound to make her own gowns.
No one else could suit her. Rut her
eyesight is failing, lioor dear, and she
was dreading the button-holes. So
when I saw her go out tos'ieiidthe
evening, I just wrapped up the dress
bjdy and brought it around here. And
when I go to the church parlors at nine
o'cltK'k and bring her home, she'll
t hink the fairies have been at work.
Nellie glanced slyly at him as she
rethreaded her needle. Surely, this
was not the tyjie of city young man
against who she had lieen warned by
Parson Langdon and (Sraiidma Diver.
"I think," said she, "that you must
lie a gtxttl son."
"Oh, but," argued he, "you don't
know what a good mother she is. I'm
from the country, you see from Vent
nor and had a chance to get work in
New York as foreman in a good en
graving place, ami she gave up every
thing to follow me and make a home
for me."
"Vciitnor!" cried Nellie. "Why you

"That's my name," said the custo
mer. "Rut who are you ?"
"I am Nellie Dover. My Aunt Jane
lives next to the old Weltield farm at
Vent nor. Ami strange as it may seem,
with a little sly laugh "I have heard
all aliout you. Here is the dress Usly,"
folding it up and handing it to him,
l snouiti like to know what your
mother says when she sees the button
holes all made."
"I'll call at your place and bring her
with me to speak for herself," said
Nicholas Weltield, taking heart of hope
"if you will allow me. She will lie so
glad to see some one who knows the
Vent nor people.''
And Mr. Wcl field paid her, thanked
her, and went his way.
That was the way it U-gan. Ncvd
any one doubt the end of it ?
Nicholas Wellield was a brave, hand
some young ivilow. Nellie was a pret
ty girl, with heart of gold ; and before
the spring hung her pink garlands on
the apple orchard at home Nellie was
married.

"I happened to - la; at a mission in
Idaho a few years ago," said D. Fl
Fernald, of Lincoln, at the IjicKsle
last evening, " when two government
officials arrived with funds with which
to pay the Indians for land which had
been liought from them by the 1'iiitcd
States. Each Indian received a check
for the amount due him, several tlnvis-
ainl dollars U-ing distributed in this
way among them. The town where
the checks were to lie cashed was ten
miles from the mission, and by day
break the following morning a large
crowd of Indians had collected in front
if the lank, awaiting to receive their
money. At "J o'clock the doors or the
bank were tn.netl and the Indians
marched in, presented their checks and
received and counted their money.
They would not take bills, but demand

which was done.
'As sam as they got the coin they
started tait to spend it. The chief de

the dealers took advantage of this and
reaped a rich harvest. All day long

ately paid the price asked by the ww li

Wagon and farm implements were
also in great demand. ne dealer told

The squaws also received a jNirtioii of

Neal Cow's Narrow Escape.
Capt. L. T. Mitchel, who was Ikiw's
es-ort, thus tlescrila-s his journey with
his prisoner to Richmond : "It was in
lSihi that ( ten. Ikiw, who commanded
the colored regiment at New Orleans,
was captured by the confederates. Si
strong was the feeling against those
who had anything to do with negro
tmofis along alsmt that time, that grave
fears were entertained for his safety ;
but he was forwarded to (Jen. John
son's headquarters at Vickslnirg, un
der a strong military escort Arrived
there, the problem was how to convey
the captured leader through to Rich
mond without exciitng mob violence
to such an extent as to prove fatal to

iug was so high all along the route,
which lay through the strongi-st of
slavery States.
"I reiiiemU-r as well as if it were
yesterday the appearance of Dow when
I first saw him at Vicksburg.
"Instead of a regular uniform, he
woreau old greasy-looking linen duster
and for headgear a queer kind of a
nondescript hat, the like of which this
younger generation never dreamed of
in its wildest imaginings. His trousers
were much the worse for wear, and his
general appearance was that of a man
who had been through s une very rough
experiences.
"For some reason, I have never
known just why, I was selected to es

"'Ikiyou think you can carry him
through safely ?" asked the command

" 'Well,' I answered, 'you know it

you consign him to my eare I'll carry
him at every hazard.'
'"How many men will you re-
quire?
" 'I think, sir, that the fewer the
men tlie ln-ttcr, as a large escort will
attract attention, and I would prefer to
go alone, as I think the rik will be
less.'
" 'That is a dangerous risk to run for
you know the feeling is very strong
against him all over the south, and the
news of his capture has already spread
like wildfire.'
"I am fully aware of tliat, but in
my humble judgment that is the best
plan.'
"ery Well, Captain, the iaiers
will Is? ready in a short time, audi

confess, many misgivings as to the re-

congratulate myself that we would Is?

"We reached Sclma, Ala, late in the
afternoon, and as we had to lie over

a room.
"It was bedtime and we had retired,

THE BOUND (illtL
"I'll have to do overyihing alone T'
Little Janet Rae stood with arms
akimbo, and looked a'tout the great
Mason kitchen. She was nearly twen
ty, but tindcr-sicd. She had hut one
U-auty h-r pretty curly head. She
was Mrs. Titus Mason's IsHJiid girl
Uiund to work for that lady until she
wasone-and-twenty. Such were the
terms of the contract when Janet had
liecu taken from the orphan asylum, a
tiny creature of ten, nine years U-fore ;
and it was the hard work and scant
fare which has prevented her growing.
There she sbasl, baiking aUiut her
at the array of cisiking utensils the
row of milk-puns the pile of wash-tulis,
the shelf of flat irons, the capM-ioils
WimmI-UiXcs.
That morning Mrs Titus the au
thoritative, the energetic, had fallen
down the cellar-stairs and broken her
leg. The doctor hail U-en called,, and
set it ; Mrs. Titus hal a nap, and then
lifted up her voice and proved her self
equal to the situation :
"I'm laid up for a mouth, Janet
that's plain to U seen. I've done ev
er)-thing for you, now you must take
right hold and go ou witlutut me.
There'll Is? the cook in' to do and the
butter to make more than you have
done, extra. Rut you can do it, if you
try. You'll have, to any way. Hayin's
over, and Mr. Dciit'U be go'iu home
si am, so that'll l? one less to provide
for."
Janet heard in silence. She gave
Mrs. Titus her valerian, ami then went
away, and stiMs! Itaiking around the
kitchen.
''I'll have to do everything alone J"
There was such a large family, and
so much work to U done, no wonder
little Janet shrank ; Uit she never
thought of shirking. With breakfast
at fiveo'clisrk, and supper dishes to Is?
washed at eight, she always had enough
to do ; ls.it to undertake all the active
duties which Mrs Titus had ttecii ac
customed to s.-rform, was almost ap-
pallinir.
Janet stMsl thinking how it was to
lie li me. She was such a little thing.
It tk mi. many of her armfuU to
till the wss 1-1 sixes with hard and soft
wimmI. She must needs stand ou a Ux
to work at the tults on the wah-U-nch;
and her arms grew so tired at the
churning. She liad U-eu trained to
great capability ; but she was not strong
en-ugh.
Rut there was no time for reflection.
There was sup-icr to get- for the four
farm-hands, Mrs. Titus' gruel to make
and carry up, the milk to strain, the
dislies to wash, the wiasl-Uixes to fill,
and sMinge to U- set for bread.
Janet nislicd for a pail of water.
Mr. Dent was at the welL
Mr. Miles Ik-nt was the summer
Umnler. He had liought a mill privi
leg? ttf Mrs. Titus and was building a
mill.
He was a handsome, very pleasant
man as jierfi-ctly healthy jieople are
apt to U and he was very lame and
strong. In age he might have Iv-cii
thirty orthcroaUiuts.
"Very old, indeed," Janet had pro
niHinccd him; and she bad always U-en
a little afraid of him, his manners were
so nice, and he had such nice Uaiks in
his room.
Whether he was aware of her exist
ence or not, she was not quite sure.
Rut he seemed to see the hurry
ing, anxious little creature now for,
saying, "My arms are the strongest,"
he talk the pail, til Uil it and carried it
into the kitchen.
"Have your hands full, haven't you
littleone?" he said pleasantly, glancing
aUiut him. "Your shoulders hardly
Iisik strong enough for all this baking
and brewing."
Janet smiled shyly pleased, surpris
ed; hut she was too altashcd to more
than murmur some faint response, and
Mr. Iv-nt went away.
Rut she felt cheered by the friendly
words of the big, brown U-arded man;
and though Mrs Titus scolded her U
cause her gruel hadn't milk enough and
she wa-t obliged to go up and down
stairs three times U-fore the lady was
served, she laid her head upon the pil
low more lightly than usual all for
one kind wor.L Poor little Janet
Rut evil days were too surely at
hand.
It made Mrs Titus very cross to lie
in U-d, inactive, and she could not give
up the oversight of the kitchen U-Iow.
A score of times a day she would call
J.iuct from her work to know what she
was at, and what she intended doing
next Countless orders Lssiied from
herch.tmU-r.
These idiosyueraeies added greatly
to Janet's fatigue, as she toiled through
the day, and she actually sobUsl with
weariness one night, when she com
menced to bring in the wood.
She was standing in the wtatd-shed.
Suddenly she heard a step on the gravel
of the mth in IheyanL
It was Mr. iK-ut He had not gone.
He came swinging along in his shirt
sleeves, his linen du-UT over hLs anil.
How rich, and pro'terous and happy
he was !
Janet did not desire to disposes Mr.
Dent of his gtMsJ-fortune, but she
thought it hard that a little of the
Tightness of life could not lie hers
Rut when Mr. Dent canty opposite
tlie shed tliHjr, the happy light died out
of his pleasant gray eyes
Well it might Janet did not dream
what a pitiful sight her p tor little tear-
stained face was
Mr. Dent spoke cheerily.
"All work and no play makes Jill a
dull girl, doescn't it?" he said, taking
the liaskct from her hand and in a mo
ment earning it, loruksl, into the
kitchen. "You have ta much to do;
the spirit is willing, but the flesh Ls
weak."
When Mr. Dent had tilled the big
wissbUixes so the c tvers would hardly
shut down, he said :
"My arms are strong and they shall
l? at your services while I stay here,
though it will be only a day or two
Ion ire r. I shall Is? ouite at leisure to
morrow or next day, and you can call
on me whenever you like."
Much as Janet was plca-s-d, she never
would have dreamed of taking the gen
tleman at his word ; but tlie next morn
ing proved a rainy one, so that Mr.
Dent's chamlicr, being cold and no fire
lighted In the nittlng-roum caiv.J
into the kitchen with his Um.W and en
scoiiced hinisflf in the great rocking
chair U-sidc liie stove.
That a the pleasautest tlay of
Janet's life. Mr. Ik-nt told her sut-ii
funny stories, and read so U-autil'uii
from his great Us.k ! and then, he fill.-1
the water-pail-i, and kept the lire liurn
ing, and jtunissl up to lift the heavy
tills" for her, and .sat down again t;
keep the bread from burning while she
carried Mrs. Tit tin' dinner up.
Ami while he was doing all this, Mr.
Ik-tit was thinking what a dear little
Kiticnt thing she was, and how prettily
the nut-brown hair nr!i-d over her
head.
At night he filled the Uixes with
wimmI, strained the milk, wound the
high clis-k and turned the cat out ; and
all day he had a j-st for everything,
and a genial g!an-e and a kind tone,
that turned darkness into light for
Janet.
She sighed with happiness as she
went to sleep, though Mrs. Titus' good
night word hail Us-n that 'she was a
lazy, giMsl-for-nothiug thing !" ami that
she "should Is? down stairs tomorrow
to see what Janet was up to."
Tjie northeast storm continued, and
Mr. Dent was sitting by the fire again,
when Mrs Titus liiuMs into the kitch
en with a cane.
Now, Mr. Ik-nt luid just U-en chop
ping mince-meat, Mrs. Titus' gingham
apron and ruttled cap ou, and had buns,
ly cast them aside, when the lady oja-n-ed
the dsr and caught Janet laughing.
She might well have looked amazed,
for she never had seen Janet laughing
U-fore. Now, why she protbly tssild
not have told, but Mrs Titus was very
much oftendciL
She waited until dinner was served,
and Janet had pine into the well-rMHii
to cool the pudding then she U-gan a
bitter tirade :
"Pretty Isisiness this is, giggling and
fiMiIing your time away, ami everything
to do ! Mr. Dent's Ut-n reading ss?try
to you, has he? How much more churn
ing can you do when you listen to po
etry? Have yHl baked that fruit-eake?
Well, I know it's made wrong! Did you
shut that settill' hen off the nest? I
don't U lieve it. What's Mr. Dent in
the kitchen for, any way T"
"For the fire, ma'am. ThechamU-rs
are so chilly. And I had so much to do,
and he was kind, and his anus were
strong," faltered ssr little Janet
"L'mph ! IVeii complaining to Mr.
Dent, have you, that you work so hard'.
Whining, gssl-for-niKhing creature ! I
wish I'd left ytu in the asylum. I
never thought of your turning out like
this luring men into my kitchen when
I'm sick in Usl "
"Stop, Mrs Titus T' interposed Mr.
Ik-lit's heavy voice. "Rettcr not go ts
far. Janet has told vim all there Ls to

I felt kindly tow ard her. I have a air

They shall lie hers for life if she w ill.
Little Janet, will you accept me for a
husband ? Many a younuvr man will
not Is? as tender and tme as I, Janet.
Will you come, little one?"
And Janet she liwiked om-e with lier
j wide, innocent cvs into the strong.
gentle face, then went straight into
those extendisl anus, though Mrs Ti
tus stoaal by sniffing the air in scorn.
"Well, I never !" she exclaimed.
"To think of it !'
Janet never was scolded again.
Those kind, strong anus have ls-n
aUut her ever. To Is? sure, she was
not edui-ated for a gentleman's wife,
