During those four months, it is scarce
ly necessary to observe, his steps hail
tended frequently toward JJpJla Luce.
Tho doctor, good man was ft because
of tho inornate affection the younsr
fellow had conceived for ancient re
mains? had taken to him marvel-
jously, and so far from discouraging
his visits had encouraged them. Thus
it fell out that Doris and he had seen
much of one another; and to see much
of Doris was to love her.
Lionel was not long in making this
discovery; and as he sat at work tn the
little room ho had fitted up as his
studio, his brain would often be busy
in tho evolution of day-dreams. Though
kthe little income he was making was,
no Knew, painiuny diminutive as in
comes went, he nevertheless d.d not ig
nobly rail against fortune, but set him
self manfully to redress her deficiencies
in so far as regarded himself.
M And if thou 'lovest me as I love
thee, we require' little else," he would
say, half aloud, H3 his hand would fall
to his side, and ho would bctul in a
sudden accession of tenderness over
the picture which lie was limnii
Doris' fair form. " Love will make
our cottage pleasant; and I love thee
more than life." I5ut theu he wasn't
a lord of Burleigh, as he would a little
ruefully reflect, and the only acres he
had to offer her were a few acres of
rather Indifferently painted canvas.

would- continue, still apostrophising
the picture; and judging from the
draughtsmanship, it really did begin
to look, as if the hand were growing
stronger. The picture bore for title
" Good Advice," and was being
painted surreptitiously.
Its subject was the Lady Doris giv
ing admonition, out of the fullness of
her experience of the world, to her
little handmaid, Lizzie Sy vret, daugh
ter of David, who was about to leave
her on domestic service in the great
city of Bt. Peter Fort Doris, supple,
sylph-like, with her hazel eyes full of
wisdom looking well into the future;
Lizzie, reverential and receptive, in the
crispest ami daintiest of mop caps,
kerchiefs and aprons; the two wend
ing their way through the water-lane
which skirts the garden of Bella Luce;
their setting, a tangled wealth of dog
rose and bramble emblematic, may
hap, of the thorns to bo carefully
avoided in little Lizzie's path. . -.
Hut to return to the Lively Polly, ,
which, coquetting with each wavelet,
as she scatters it into spray, sensibly
nears the shore. David is sitting for
ward, meditatively pulling a pipe of
honeydew, while Lionel, with his hand
resting on the tiller, is direc ting tho
course of the boat, and, judging from
his expression of dreamy abstraction,
is still lost in tho reverie which con
cerns tho (iuernsey lny. .suddenly
addressing his companion, he exclaims,
solemnly :
" David, the masterpiece shall be un
veiled to your eye this evening. The
private view shall take place."
"Whiit ton liirtur' Kir" nulra
David, removing his pipe from his
mouth in deference to the subject.
"The picture, David, the picture;
and if your little daughter and Miss
Doris don't walk befoi you to the life,
why rip the canvas from the frame
and" trice it up as a new top-s'l for the
Lively Polly."
" Thank'ee, Master Lionel," replies
David, looking well pleased whether
at the invitation to the private view or
the prospect of the new top-sail, does
not appear. After a pause he adds,
regretfully: " llovv Lizzie will miss her,
sir!"
"Xay, David," says the younger
man, with quick sympathy, "we
mustn't call it a parting. Miss Doris
will be often getting over to see the
little woman. AVhat, after all, is five
miles V "
David 6lowly withdraws his pipe
from his mouth, and, gazing across to
Lionel with a face which betokens
wonder tempered with incredulity,
gasps out :
" AVhv, hast thou not heard the news,
lad?"

And the Lively Tolly, which had
been -Happing her sail ominously to
draw attention to her .unheeded tiller,
had swung up to the Wind, and now
lay rolling uncomfortably from side to
side. Kequiring her sheets tobeletgo
and hauled in before she would con
sent to proceed on her course, the lit
tle craft distracts David's attention
from the deep effect his news has pro
duced on his young companion; and
there is no time, even if there were in
clination, for questions and answers,
for alter one more short board the boat
is beached. Leaving the task of haul
ing her up to David and a fellow
fisherman who happens to be standing
near, Lionel hurries off, and ten min
utes afterward is seated in the solitude
of his studio, dazed and bewildered,
with a great sorrow clutching at his
heart. . .
Thousands and thousands! Yes,
there they were; repulsive in their
coarse, barbarous glitter, whole bas
tions and battlements of them, form
ing an impassable barrier between him
and the woman he loved!
Tho woman he loved ! Ho started up
from his chair, and restlessly crossing
the room stood before tho easel which
supported his recently finished picture,
and gazed upon her face. Ah, bow he
did love her I lie had never quite re
alised how much till then.
Subjected to one of those mental
freaks by which; with strange over
sight of relative magnitudes, some
trivial issue is temporarily obtruded in
place of one of vital moment, his e
became arrested by some trifling tech
nical omission; and taking up his pa
lette and brush he proceeded to rectify
it. Yes, that was better, he reflected,
as he leaned back and regarded it criti
cally. While he gazed his thoughts

A knocR at .the door. Ah 1 he had
forgotten. s .
"The private view," he mutters to
himself, with a ghastly attempt at a
laugh. " Gome in, David."
Enters the Guernsey Lily, and with
folded hams and meek eyes which seek
the ground, says, "Sir Painter, Sir
Painter, I am no David, but a siinjile
maiden, who has just had tidings of
your return, and bears a mandate from

and discloses the nieture:
sfwtjjS1h a rapturous little cry of de
lig'SVf oris recognizes its subject. For
a moment or two she stands leaning
forward and gazing intently upon, the
canvas; and then, dimpling and blush
ing in her confusion, timorously holds
forth her little hand and exclaims :
"Oh! "What am I to say, Mr.
Painter? Can't you find me words to
express my appreciation ? Can't I "
Her eye suddenly catches the title cf
the picture, and Bhe clasps her hands.
" See 1" she cries, " I can give good ad
vice. Let me promise to give you
good advice whenever you may ask
for it."
His forehead is clammy and cold,
and his tongue cleaves to the roof of
his mouth,
"Tell me the news, Doris; tell me
what has happened," hejsays, hoarsely,
" The news ? " she repeats, sur
prised. " About this death and this will," he
blurts out, almost angrily.
" i)h ! haven't you heard?" she asks;
then, with a laugh which bubbles forth
spontaneously, protests, "It was too
cruel ! "
Cruel ! If she had an intuition of
the anguish he was suffering could
Bhe allude to the tragedy in that light
way? He motions her to a chair, and
with the laughter still dancing. in her
eyes and dimpling her sweet face, she
sits down and recounts.

"Dear David! How papa will ex

irrepressible gurgle of laughter, "Yes,

sents, lowering her .voice in an awe
stricken whisper. ,
"Ah !" he groans, as his worst fears
are confirmed.
" Of the empty soda-water bottles,
you know," she continues, softly.
" Xow, wasn't it too elaborate a joke,
Sir Painter?"
"What!" he almost shouts, as he
takes a sudden step forward,, the re
vulsion of feeling sending the blood
coursing like wildfira through his
veins.
But she has risen, and is already at
the door.
"Here's the dtar legatee como to
look for me," she says, as she opens it
and takes her father's baud in hers.
" You shall tell him how David took
his joke, while I run away and look
after the chairs being taken out into
the garden. And as to your picture,
Sir Painter here her musical voiae
became very earnest and subdued-
"I can't tell you all I think of it; but,
as I said before, if you ever should re
quire any good advice "
The rest of the .sentence was lost,
for she had tripped down the stairs
and passed out of the house into the
summer air like some sweet melody.
Then Lionel seizes the astonished
doctor by the hand, and forcing him
into a chair tells him irom. .out the
depths of his heart the story of his love
for the maid Doris. And the doctor, re
turning tlie honest grip of the hand,
abruptly asks:
"And you really do take an interest,
Lionel, in ancient fossil remains?".
"I yes, sir; certainly!" replies the
bewildered lover. -.
"Then, perhaps, you'll have the
goodness, my boy, to regard me in
that light," he says, with a merry
twinkle of the eye, " and ftet me pass
the few remaining years of my life in
your home. 1 mean, if your suit be
successful, you must take up your resi
dence at Bella Luce; forljcan't afford
to part altogether with my little girl."
And then, with feeling too deep for
utterance, Lionel again wrings the
kind hand that is stretched out to
him, and leaving the doctor to inspect
the picture, goes whirling out of the
house like a tornado and tears off in
pursuit. It is just at the end of the
water-lane that lie overtakes tho ob
ject of his quest, threading her way
daintily among the dog-roses and
brambles; and there and then, in a
voice whteh thrills her gentle heart
with emotion, he tells her a tale of an

with his arm still round her waist

F1T9 Million Basf balls.
" Baseballs are like human beings-
you never know what's in them until
you cut them open," said Al Beach, the
old-time second-baser, as he placed on8
of his professional league balls before a
circular saw, and after some little trou
ble halved it. "There! "What do you'
think of that ? A great deal of science
-luuj hard work is required in the manu
facture of balls, ior instance, the
ball known as Reach's professional,'
adopted last week by the American and
the Interstate associations, is patented.
In the center is a round piece of the best
Para gum. Then there is thebest stock
ing yarn. This is stretched first by ma
chinery to its utmost tension. Then
it is wound by Jiand so tight that,
bs yon pee, it resemble one solid
piece of material. The wind
ing is done by single strands at a time.
This makes it more compact. A round
of white yarn is now put in, and the
whole covered with a rubber plastic
cement. When this becomes hard it
preserves the spherical shape of the
ball, and prevents the Inside from
shifting when the ball Is struck. You
have seen some balls knocked egg
shaped the first blow they are struck.
Weil, with this cement covering that
is impossible. Then comes more yarn,
and finally the cover. The covering
for all the- good balls are made of
horse-hide. Long experience has
shown this to be the best. Cow or
goat-skin will become .wrinkled and
wear loose.- Why, there is as much
change in the making of baseballs in
the last ten years as there is in the
game itself. The sewing on of the
covers is done by hand, and the thread
used is catgut."
No one man makes a ball complete.
One person becomes proficient in the
first winding, then some one else takes
it; another man will fit the cover, but
there are few of the workmen who be
come proficient in the art of sewing
the cover. A dozen men in the course
of a day will turn out about twenty
five dozen first-class balls, and a3 a
rule they make good wages. Some
manufacturers put carpet list in tho
balls,' but this can easjly be detected
when the batting begins, because the
ball soon loses its shape. Of course,
for tho cheap balls, Buch as the boys
begin with, not so much care is exer
cised in the manufacture. They are
made in cups, which revolve by fast
moving machinery. The lnsides are
made up of scraps ofl leather and
rubber, and then carpet listing is
wound around the ball. It takes a
man about ten minutes to turn ono of
these out complete. The Reach pro
fessional ball weighs from five to five
and one-quarter ounces, and is nine and
one-quarter inches in circumference.
All the other balls used by the profess
ionals and high class amateurs are of
the same proportions. It is calculated
that about live million baseballs are
made each year, and these are not ex
travagant figures, when it is consid
ered that upon every vacant lot in the
large cities and upon every village
green in the country there are crowds
of men and boys banging away at a
ball whenever the weather permits.
And yet peopl.e say the nati.oniil game
is dying out. Philadelphia Record,
The Gold Product or California.
We clip what follows from an arti
cle in the Century on " Hydraulic Mirf
ing in California," by Taliesin Evans :
The gold product of California from
the discovery of the precious metal by
James W. Marshall in the tail-race of
Sutter's Mill, January". 19, 1848, to
June 80, 1881, amounted, to $1,170,
000,000. Of this sum $000,000,000 is
estimated to have been extracted from
the auriferous pincers. The remainder
represent thj ' yield of gold quartz
mines,' $'.iM(idr.-the State contains
many. TJiveariv -product of gold in
California is, from-$l 5,000,000 to $20,
000.000. 'tirtm the date of discovery
to 18G1 inclusive, the gold product of
California aggregated $700,000,000
derived chielly from the modern
river beds and shallow placers. A
large proportion of the remaining
$200,000,000 has been obtained in the
deep gravel deposits by the hydraulic
method. Strange as it may appear an
industry which has contributed so
largely to the wealth of the world,
and has been the means of the settle
ment and development of California,
has reached a period in its history
when it is claimed by a large portion
of tho community to be a greater evil
than blessing, ami the question ol sup
pressing the hydraulic method of gold
mining luus been tho subject of earnest
discussion in and out of the halls of
legislation. The law has been invoked
to suppress or control it. Even the
State, through its attorney-general,
has commenced a suit to suppress its
The trouble grows out of the immense
amount of debris which the hydraulic,
miners are discharging constantly into
the water-courses of the State.
