The Mulaneys commenced with a battered-up old grandfather who pos sessed a disastrous talent for gutting into trouble and staying there, and ended in a crumb of a baby, whose name had been twisted by some Incon ceivable process from John Patrick Michael into Tim. lie was such a skimpy baby that nature must have patched him up out of the cuttings and scrapings of luckier patterns, and, fat ing short of sight, had made it up to him in gloriously big slate-gray eyes that "opened wide but could not see." There was a widow and some dds and ends of children wedged in be tween the two, and all lived together In a study liitlo house that was as like as peas to the mob of other stuffy houses that disgraced both sides of the street only it wasn't a street, after nil, but an alley, i hoked up with want and (lavorel with babies; with a red lamp swung out at one corner where the beer-shop stood, and a dismal ittlo Indian upholding with it- one foot (the other might have been in its grave for all Slum Alley knew or both ered) the cigar-store interests at the other. (grandfather Mulaney owned a cow that came as near his ideal as any cow could that gave milk instead of whisky, and ho divide! his t me impartially betwemit and those patriotic meet ings the Al'eyites devoted to poor Ire land and worse poteen. Then there was a pig two pigs-tucked und r the woodshed, that squealed and scuf fled and grunted, and a straddling roos ter that cackle I, regardless of sex, and a cat that mewed, and a dog that whined and then, by way of rivalry, the odds and ends of Mulaneys, who squealed and shuille t and cackled and whined worse than them all put to gether. ' Mother Mulaney was one of those misery-ridden widows the world knows by heart a Woman wholaundri.nl her life away with all the odds and en Is tugging at her gathers all save Kitty, who even resented the figurative apron strings now that she had asserted her superiority to them by standing in a store uptown. I'retty Kitty! Her eye were Irish blue, her hair was Irish black, her heart but all Slum Al ey stoutly de nied that Kitty Mulaney had on&. She was tall and straight as a poplar sap ling, was Kitty, and she had a trick of lifting her eyebrows at her neighbors, which was rather superb, but pretty conclusive evidence that the diagnosis of Slum Alley was correct. How she had managid to grow up under such cramped circumstances, or how the beauty her mother had left behind her in the peat bogs of Ireland along with her youth had found such a glorious resurrection in her face, never puzzled the brain of Mis Kitty Mulaney she was tall, and there were the Irish eyes and the clouds of black hair tantalizing her from the cracked bit of mirror i ay after day, till her vanity bled at tho idea of wasting so much sweetm ss on two old people and a gang of noisy cubs for there was enough of Grandfather Mulaney's blood rioting through her veins "to warrant that young person in calling a spade a spade. It was no trime, surely, to rebel against the fate that had cat her among thorn like a Jewel in a dust heap, but if it had been rankest trea son Mi.is Mulaney wou!d havegone on rebeLing all the same. Slum Alley was good enough, perhaps, for her moldy old grandfather and those knucklebones of children, but fate Should have remembered that she was Kitty Mulaney, and cut her cloth ac cordingly. She loved her mother, of course, but deep down in her heart (for she really had one, though it was so tramped and stifled under its heaps of vanity and ruinous pride that Slum Alley migot well be forg. ven itsdoubts ) Bhe knew she was ashamed of the toil Btained face and naked brogue, and she never meant to lorgive 1 er father for dying as poor as lie did. Those other girls at the shop could have "theiv eviuings to themselvtB, with a trip now an I then to the thea tre, and friends they were not ashamed to own, while she she mu t trudge home to bare Iloors and sud stained walls, to coarse fare heaped on cloudy dishe , with the o Ids and ends squeal ing and scu iling about her while Bhe ate it, and Baby Tim actually a uirm Jng up Jn her lap from under the $abK' to coil his wizen little arms around her j dainty waist. She was tired, of course, and there was little exhilaration in kissing a scrap of a fare that was black with dirt and generally blue with 1 raises so Miss Mulaney never did it and tho ( hill, whose love for his eldest sister, like the brilliant red flower of the cac tus, was tho one passion of his thorny little life, would accept his defeat with something shining in his sightless eyes that ought to have brought tears to her own, and go scuttling about tho floor squealing worse than ever. It counted for little that the sudrfltains meant so iiui-h of her mother's strength; she only knew that she was spending her youth with neither pleas ure nor profit, that Tim's aloration was the torment of her life, and that Grandfather Mulaneys playing fast and loose with the proprietor of tho red lamp at one corner of the alley and tho savage at the other, getting his drinks and smoke free and welcome in change for the hopes, so lavishly given in pay. was nearly driving her frantic, as if she would ever, ever "Ay coorso not, jewel," chuckled the dissipated old villain; "sure, it's choosin' twixt tho byes would spile me game intoirely." That ended everything. For year she had been plotting and planning to get rid of it all, the poverty and dirt and disgrace of Slum Alley, and now her grandfather had opened a way with a wide gate and an easy road, and so Kitty stalked off dead-white with rage and engaged board with her friend, the Lace Counter, a big, showy girl with black eyes and yellow hair, whoso mother let lodgings in a shabby genteel house uptown. "Of course I didn't want to leave you, mother," Kitty managed to ex plain, and she had the grace to lower her eyes as she did it, "but madam complains so of the distance." It was a comforting falsehood, for the faded blue in the poor creature's eyes leaped into sudden, smiling life. "Vis, darlint. an' it's wrong ye are intoirely. Sez 1 to yez granfather the mornin', Kitty Mulaney's niver the gurrel to forsake the mother that horned her, sez I, an sure it's h me the child will be afther comin' the Saturday noights to keep the babby from fnttin', Mr. Mulaney; moind that, sez I." " Yes, certainly but indeed, mother, you should not let Tim goon so," with an impatient sliove that freed her ruffles from his baby clasp. "I can't come in the house' but what he sticks to me like a burr selfish little ruf fian!" Tim accepted his usual rebuke with solemn eyes and quivering 1 ps till Mis3 Mulaney had given her mother a gingerly kiss and eacli of the odds and ends its sparse duplicate; then sidling up to her departing skirts, clutched them re:klessly and sa;d, with a wheedling ring in his baby voice: " Kitty, does yez want Tim's 'it tie I'ig?" Heavens, no! Miss Mulaney had seen quite enough of pigs to last her a lifotime; so shaking the dust of Slum Alley from her dainty feet she went away to commence a new life in a cuddy under the eaves of a house that boasted of a barn, of a parlor strung around with cheap art in tarni-hed frames, cheap carpets, cheap chairs and a time-blurred glass over the mantel cheap, yes, but it meant Oriental ele gance to the pleasure-cheated girl, and so for a month or more she sold gloves and matched ribbons with a self-approving smile. In the meantime something had happened. It is not often that Fate drives to the door of impoverished beauty be hind two cloud-gray horses with long drab tails; but romantic thing do happen sometimes, even outside of story-books, and so, when Dr. Jones stepped out of his polished gig one evening, stepped in the shabby-genteel house to feel a sick lodger's pulse, and t-tepping out again stepped right into tho brilliant locus of two Irish blue eys shining in the doorway. Fate stepped in herself and managed the rest after the most approved of modern fashions that begins with the orthodox introduction and winds up with a ring. Then remorseful memory startled the girl's conscience, and nerved her to a dutiful visit home, and tho way ha I never seemed so long nor the place so shameless as on that summer even ing, after reveling in the respectability of a Ufa up-own. Grandfather Mulaney was suffering from tho effects of an understanding 1 etween the two comers; the children were laid up or down, rather, on flabby pallets with the mumps, and in tho middle of it all the miserable poverty and dirt there sat Mother Mulaney, with Baby Tim stretched like a burning coal across her tire I lap. " Shpake low, mavourneen,'- whis pered the poor creature, wiping tho tears from her face with a forlornness that went to Kitty's heart and staid there. "Oh, but it's the faver that's seorchin' his weo arruins ! Do ye look at thim an' he always as fat as a mole; sure it's cr in he's been afther yez; that bad, thedocthor said I'd best t-ind yer a message, but I uminde 1 yez promised to come, an' yez dead b oke me heart along wid yer own wor 1 there, hist now, Tim, darlint; do yez 1 e slapin, not to know she's home at last to stay " Don't wake him, mother," she cried, hastily and remorsefully a3 well; "and it will be quite impossible foi me to stay to night; indee I I "she could not plead so trilling an excuse as an expected visit from the hero her mother had never heard of; so, empty ing quite half of the silver coins from her purse into her hand, went on, hur riedly: Hut I will come to-morrow, indeed; and here, mother, you will need this for tho doctor." 'Sliure, it's the comfort yez are when yez do come, mavourneen; but the docthor, St. Patrick's blessin' be wid him, he won't take a red cintfrom the likes of me, a poor widdy woman with her arrums full o' throuble, but I'll kape it for the mixthur the childer do be takin' all around; wirra, to look at thim, with bumps as big as petaties; an' how daft the baby will be when he linos you've been and left him." "But I will come to-morrow, in deed,"sho insisted, as sherose from her knees beside the unconscious child, "and see, I'll put this bright new penny in his hand to keep him com pany until I come; and, mother " She tried to fashion some plea for deserting them all, but it stuck cross wise in her throat; so, kissing her mother's quivering lips, and allowing the odds and ends to worship her to their hea ts' content for live delightful minutes, went home quietly at hist, carrying a sore conscience with her to her cuddy under the eaves. Yes, it was cruel to leave her mother in her hour of need; it was worse than cruel to stay away from baby Tim; but what if she should catch that dn adful fever, and it should feed upon her beauty like a worm that ' eats up the blush of a rosel No, Miss Mulaney could not afford to bankrupt her future, even for baby Tim' If only she could keep him out of her mind! She hated ugly children, and Tim's small, wan face, capped with whitish hair, was not lovable to think of; but there it laid, between her and the trees, between her and the shop windows, between her and the glass, while she dressed for the evening even between her lover and herselt, as they chatted in the twilight of the dingy parlor she had chosen to make her home. She had never been so fond of the child, she told herself, as she sat there but what would ho think of them all, from Grandfather Mulaney down' he with his pride and grand man ners all the weakness in the girl's heart rebelled at tho confession of her part and pared in Slum Alley and the old life. She could not tell him, and she would not. And then a woman's shabby outline darkened the dDi rway a woman with sobs in her voice and a naked brogue on her tongue and the woman was Mother Mulaney I " Docthor ! It's me little bye that's dyin' an' me a thraipsin to yer oilice when the gurrel av yez sint me here, l'raise the howly Patrick, I've found yez !" At the first word the girl crouched behind the avalanche of soiled lace that tumbled over the window, and remained there till both voices were lost in the sounds of the night. Dying, and she had let her mother go without a word ! The twilight blackened, and Kitty Mulaney, crouched behind the curtain, fought as hard a battle as he lights who wins a fortune for his pains. Every unkind word she had ever given the child cut and stung her as only remorse knows how to cut and sting, and now he might be dying even. The fear of that carried her out of the house, down the streets, through courts and over crossings, till it brought l.er, panting, at last to Slum Alley and the home that, God helping her, she never again would leave. And when she saw it lying there, a tiny white thing, with a bright, n w penny between the fingers that lay like white Moss mis on its heart, perhaps Baby Mulaney, looking down upon her from an unknown somewhere, called upon his" Master to witness that he had not died in vain. And the d ctor? "Why, what could he do but forgive her weakness in the name of Baby Mulaney ! Leslie's Il lustrated. A Tub for a Habitation.

The tub is ol'long, being about ten feet long, six feet wide and eight feet high. Batters six inches high are laid on top, upon which there is a tongued and groo od roof covered with tin. The roof overhangs the tub several inches, and tho space between the to p of the staves and the ceiling serves alike for. venti'ation and light. A door ot t he usual size is the means of entrance. The inner walls are painted white, as is the ceiling, and an ingrain carpet of neat design covers the iloor. The furniture consists of a wash-stand, two chairs, an open stove, connecting through a thimble with a pipe outside, a narrow bed swung hammock fashion, several cheap en gravings, and swinging shelves con taining b oks.

ROW A KENTUCKY DESPERADO DE TIED THE WHOLE STATE. And How He W nn at I. ait niomiht Within the l.aw'x It each IJ a lleierminrd Olliccr -Ills Conviction ..nd I'ardon. Grove Kennedy kept the State of Kentucky at bay for nearly a year, de populate 1 a watering pla e, scared the governor t ut of his boots, laughe 1 at life and bullied all the courts of the commonwealth for two years. We saw him in Lancaster, a fine-looking fellow of perhaps thirty-eight, with dark hair and beard and line bright eyes, with a genuine humorous sparkle in them. He is a typical dangerous man. lie comes of a family that kill. They die generally booted and armed. They came to Kentucky with Daniel Boone and owned 20.U0U acres of gar den land in this Eden of Kentucky. They began by killing Indians and have never got over it. old Kb Kennedy was (i rove's uncle and foster father. In 1877 they quarreled and had a law suit. After old Eb had given his tes timony in court he insulted Grove and walked out. Grove calmly went out, on the balcony and as his uncle walked down the sidewalk drew ahead on the old man with a shotgun and sent the whole case to a higher court The whole charge went in behind tho ear and generously came out all over the old man's countenance. Grove was arrestel without resist ance and afterward escaped. For six months lie was at large. The governor offered a large reward for the outlaw's capture. The reward was large enough to invite the approval of George V. Hunter, of Bardstown, popularly known as "Marshal" Hunter, Ilun t r is the coolest and most determined man in Kentucky, a small, square jawed man, with quick, gray eyes and little hands that have a grip of iion. I asked Hunter once what was the secret of his sueeei-s. " Wei'," he said," you always get the drop on a m m, and if he don't do what you want shoot." Hunter d sappeared from Bardstown after the reward had been offered for Kennedy. This was published and Kennedy at once disappeared from Grab Orchard. Then it was that all Kentucky awoke to the thrill of a man hunt. The pursued and the pursuer left not a trace behind them. It was a mat: h of courage and skill against courage and desperation, and the iState waited for the re ult. Days and weeks rolled by and nothing was heard. One day in October, however, the rumor came that Grove Ktnnedy had been captured alive. Next day the State was atlame with the news. Hunter had gone to Grove Kennedy's house and pati-ntly waited for him to turn up. Secreted in the wo ids with some trusty followers, prepared to fight Kennedy and his crowd, he never wearied. Ono morning at daylight Hunter, sheltered behind the stable, saw the outlaw coming for his horse. They had never met. As Grove walked up, Hunter covered with a revolver, and, stepping out from behind the corner of the stable, quietly said: "Throw up your hands!" "What for?" asked the outlaw, as lie paused and considered the prudence of reaching lor his pistol. " For your life I" answered Hunter, point blank. "You are Marshal Hunter?" in quired Kennedy, as coolly and calmly as the other. " Ves." "Then I surrender 1" The ou law then devoted his energies to amusing himself with the law. Ho had half a dozen trials and convictions and kept the court of appeals busy reversing decisions and ordering new tria s. Tho military had t j be ordered out to protect the court. One day ho called up a newspaper correspondent ia court and quietly calling his atten tion to an error in the report said : "If that ain't corrected and fair leports sent out I'll kill you as soon as 1 get out of here," lie was llnally convicted in 18i-0 and had been in the penitentiary for about three years when pardoned. When he was first sent up he was very disobedient and troublesome, but that soon disappeared and lie won his pardon for good behavior. He was sentenced for twenty-one years. " Whisky was the cause of all my enssedness," said the released outlaw. My uncle brought me up to fight any man that insulted me ami to go armed. T.iat was what caused his death. But I have quit drinking liquor now, and if 1 get a chance I'm going to behave myself. I'm g ing We.t to settle, either in Kansas or Missouri." Ccr risjioiulttwe l'liiladtlpltii Tinus.

' FASHION X0TES. 7ouave jackets are among the new stylos. Seal brown suits, tailor finished, are very fashionable. Sleeves have a decided tendency to fullness at the top. The knotted .'ilk handkerchief is as much used as ever. Gay and severe styles of dress are equally fashionable. Flounces pinked out on the edges are again fashionable. Largo collars and lace fichus are do rigueur for full dress. Velvet, plush and chenille are the leading dress trimmings. English jackets and jockey-cap bon nets will bq much worn. Pointed or tapering crowns for bon nets are no longer fashionable. Felt and velvet bonnets will ba worn to the exclusion of plush. Pattern dresses, in dark blues, reds and biowns, will be popular thi3 win ter. Turbans, composed entirely of feathers, have gone entirely out of Btyle. Spanish lace scarfs are not worn, except with black silk dresses. Then they are relieved by having white lace peeping from beneath their somber folds. All the esthetic and fancy writing paper is going out of style, being re-pla-ed by that which is thick, j lain and unruled, with a big square enve lope to match. Among new fall goods are woven tapestry patterns with borders of an tique de.-dgns and in blocks, bars, checks and plaids, the fabric rough but io.t came.'s-liair. A great many lace dresses are worn. They aie generally maie in tho princess style, or in long redingotes, and are worn over satins of a bright color. Black Flemish binche and Spanish blonde are the favorites. Young lad es are wearing a great deal f black at receptions, dinners and balls, but very little in the street. The bla k dress always heighten the fairness of the skin by gaslight, and tins is doubtless the reason why it is so popular. Bla k stockings are a'most univers ally the choice for g rls of nil ages, and for boys in dresses or short trousers. The fa hion is expensive, as bla :k hosiery is E.pt to be inferior in quality tj white or colored, therefore requiring more frequent renewal of supply. Jersey Jackets for cool days are made somewhat heavier t ;an the summer zephyr jer.-eys, and are supplied with self colored fans of satin or surah set i i below the waist at the back. here tho jacket is part of the costume, a wide surah is put around the hem and tied in a great bow at the back. The thickly corded Antwerp silks are again in favor for both dre ses and cloaks, as they come in single and double widths for dresses and for cir culars; these have none of the lustre of satin, to begin with, ami as they are not adulterated, they do not take on a suspicious and unwelcome gloss after being worn. Fichus of black Spanish lace are worn twisted about the neck, especi ally with the jerseys, which are popu lar this fall. Jerseys in dark blue and black a:e the only kind permitted by fashion for street wear. They are worn over bla: k silk or dark blue silk skirts, and have a sash back, and often Bash drapery down the front. Hough and ready wrap-, for girls and small boys, are made in semi-ulster form, of all wool plaid cloth. They are plaited the ent.re length in front, like a blouse, but an added plain breadth gathered on to the waist at the back gives fullness to the skirt. Larger girls have tight fitting coats, jackets with dolman backs and raglans to choose from. Do the Best You Can. A story is told of a king who went into his garden one morning and found everything withering and dying. He aked an oak that stood near the gate what the trouble was. He found that it was .-ick of life and determined to die because it was not tall and beauti ful like the pine. The pine was out of heart because it could not hear grapes lik the ine. The vine was going to throw its life away because it could not stand erect and have as lino fruit as the pomegranate: and so through out the garden. Coming to a heart s ease, ho found its bright face uplifted, as full of cheerfulness as ever. Said the king: "Will, heartv-easo, I am glad to bnd one brave little flower in this general discouragement and dying, You don't seem ono bit disheartened." "No, your n. a csty.
