TARSNEFS TEMPTATION.
BY TOM P. MORGAN.
rxijjv-w mere was
a horse-trade or
something of equal
- importance on
hand, Lyman Tars
ney was pretty
sure to be found
at the postoflice at
mailtime ; not be
cause he expected
a letter, but be
cause the post-
olnce was in a gro
J'tfttZT" cery store 'plenti'
ALrt55" fully supplied with
comfortable box,
scats. It offered
barrel and counter
abundant opportu
nities for sly nibblings of crackers
and cheeso, and was the clearing
house for the gossip of the village.
When, one day, tho postmaster
really did hand Tarsney a letter, he was
much surprised and examined it
doubtfully. The envelope was ad
dressed plainly onough, and bore the
New York postmark. Who in the
world could be writing him from Now
York?
Tarsney went to one side and opened
the letter with mingled eagerness and
doubt. Perhaps somebody had died
and left him a fortune? Stranger
things had been heard of. When he
had gained a partial understanding
of the contents, he hurriedly left the
postoflice, his whole lazy body quiv
ering with excitement.
Around the corner he paused, un
decided where to go to examine his
prize in secret. Then he slouched
with unaccustomed energy out of the
village into the woods, turning ab
ruptly from the beaten path as soon
as he was out of sight of any house,
and keoping on till he felt sure he was
in no danger of being seen.
He wormed his way into the midst
of a thicket, and re-examined his
prize. Tho contents of the envelope
consisted of a neat circular, printed
in imitation of the work of a type
writer, a strip purporting to be a
clipping from a newspaper and a small
slip bearing a name and address. '
Tarney read the circular carefully.
It was couched in a strain well calcu
lated to flatter the vanity and whet
the greed of the reader. After stat
ing tdat the writer was desirous of ob
taining a shrewd man to handle his
goods, which were nowhere mentioned
as counterfeit money, but always as
"goods," the circular continued:
"Yon can make money faster and
easier by dealing in my goods than
you ever dreamed of before in your
life. It was never intended that one
man should have millions and another
nothing. The wealth and good things
of this world are too unevenly distrib
uted. "Unless you have money enough to
live on comfortably for the rest of
your life, this is just tho business you
should take hold of, as my goods can
be haudled with perfect safety and
immense profits, aud enable you to
provide yourself with a competence
for your old age and pass your re
maining years iu ease and comfort.
"Thero is no wrong about it Undo
Sam has millions of our money locked
up in the Treasury, uselessly and un
justly so."
So on went the letter to a consider
able length, in a way shrewdly calcu
lated to find the weak point of such a
man as Lyman Tarsney. When he had
finished reading the circular, he was
gasping at the mugnitudeof the possi
bilities which seemed suddenly to have
opened before him. His hand trem
bled ae he turned hungrily ; to the
printed slip that accompanied the cir
cular. It purported to be a newspaper
clipping, setting forth that, iu spite of
the utmost vigilance of the officials,
certain engraved plates had been
stolen from tho United States Treas
ury, from which notes exactly the
same as the genuine except that they
did not have the sanction of the Gov
ernment were beiug printed by the
thousands of dollars' worth. Tho fol
lowing extract is a fair sample of the
sophistry of the article :
"As tho case stands these peoplo in
New York have everything theii own
way, for their shrewd work seems
be carried on in perfect safety, and
there is not the slightest chance of de
tecting them or the people with whom
they ito tiusmcMs. it seems to lo a
positive fact that they are in posses
sion of duplicate Treasury plates ex
actly tho same as those used by the
Government, uud the paper is similar
to that upon which tho geuuiue notes
are printed. It is a profound mystery
how aud from whence they obtaiu it.
The greenbacks which the New York
scoundrels are donling id aro so fine
and perfect that thero is not one
chance in ten thousand of detecting
them, nnd all the detectives have failed
to unearth tho slightest clue to makers
or users."
Lyman Tarsney had never been des
perate or depraved. His sins had been
chiefly of omission rather thau of com
mission. Ho had never htolcn aught
except precious time, and the happi
ness and comfort of his wife and chil
dren. He had always been one of those
sanguine souls who are content to wait
patiently for something to turn np,
instead of rolling high their sleeves
and turning up something for them
selves. In the old home State ho had done
fairly well, till finally ho had conceived
the belief that in Missouri was located
the El Dorado where kindly nature re
turned a maximum of reward for a
minimum of toil. Thither he had
journeyed with his littlo flock, and
purchased a run-down form "on time."
The succeeding season was a poor one,
and Tarsney's minimum of labor
brought him so littlo of reward that
he was unable to make the necessary
payments on the farm, and in due
time lost it.
The family presently found shelter
in a shabby rented house in the out
skirts of the village, and Lyman do
generated by degrees into a good
natured loafer, a trader of horses and
catcher of fish a worthless enmberer
of the ground.
The "green goods" circular came to
him like a revelation. It aroused his
avarice and his long dormant ambi
tion. Ho had never had his chance
before, he told himself ; but now his
chance had come. Tho artful argu
ments seemed prepared especially to
fit his case. They stilled his sluggish
conscience and blinded his dull eyes.
"The wealth and good things of this
world are too unevenly distributed. It
was never intended that one man
should have millions and another
nothing."
The words met with Tarsney's un
qualified indorsement. The appeal to
his desire for comfort in his old age
seemed like tho pitying words of a
kind friend. True, it was counterfeit
money. Ha I Was it?
Did not the newspaper clipping
state that the notes were printed from
genuine plates made by the Govern
ment? What mattered it to him if
these plates had been stolen? It was
no affair of his. Was not the money
the same, whether printed with Uncle
Sam s sanction or without it?
The '.Government had millions,
billions for aught he knew, locked up
in the Treasury vaults, of no use to
anybody. Why should not he profit
by Uncle Sam's carelessness? Tho
tempter won.
The coming of dusk admonished
him of the flight of time. , He placed
tho precious documents carefully in
his pocket. W hen he reached home
the scanty .upper was waiting for
him.
"Poppy's tnml poppy's turn!"
whooped the littlo white head two
sizes larger than tho baby that wore
it.
There was always a baby in the
Tarsney household. Ihese children
loved the shiftless, worthless father,
who was always good-natured, who
whittled little toys for them, and was
ever ready with a story.
He had no relish for the simple
supper that night. Tho food half
choked him. He noticed, he knew
not why, that his wife's cough seemed
worse than common, though in truth
it had been growing worse for weeks
unperceived by him. But the poor
woman looked more cheerful to-night
tnan was uer wont.
She was not patohing or mendinar
this evening, but was nursing' the
feeble baby in idleness. Her thin
cheeks were faintly flushed. The
little white heads were happy and ex
cited over something unusual.
"Doss what, poppy?" piped tho
head that was two sizes larger than
the baby,
"I'm to git all tho fine washin an'
ironin' from the hotel," said Mrs.
Tarsney, with almost a happy smile.
"I can make 'most a dollar a day out
of it."
Poor soul I Happy at the prospect
of added toil !
"An' me and John aro to begin
pickin' grapes at the nursery day af
ter to-morrow," said Jim, , ten years
old. "SVe'll git half n cent a pound."
"I made six cents herdiu' Mis' Bar
low's ducks this .afternoon," chimed
in Lyddy, the eight-year-old girl.
For a long timo these poor souls
had worked, saved aud denied them
selves that they might return to the
old home State. The hunger for home
had been kuawiug at Mrs. Tarsney's
I heart for many a long, loug day. She
nail uttered littlu,coiuplaiut, but had
toiled on, wearing her life out at the
washtub in the hope of one day re
turning to the dear old home com
munity. Sometimes sho said hope
fully :
"Maybe iny health will be better
wheu we get back home."
The younger children knew only by
hearsay about the old home, but they
were ail strong in tho belief that it
was the happiest place on earth.
They were all of one accord huugry
to go. No self-deuial tending to bring
the happy time nearer was too great
lor them to make. Every dollar,
uickle, penny that could pjssibly be
spared was sacredly hoarded to that
end.
The sum required to take them all
was a very great one ill their eyes.
Mrs. Tarsney, with pathetic pride,
felt that they must not go lookiug
like beggars. New clothes must do
provided for all, and uo matter how
cheap, new clothes for the entire Hock
would cost what was to them another
largo sum.
. iu the battered old pewter sugar
bowl iu the littlo cupbuur J beside tut
chimney was ond hrindred and forty
two dollars and seventy-nine 6entri(
the savings of many long dnys of toil
and privation. Out of the hoard thd
husband and father, too, must bo well
clothed and provided with a railway
ticket. He had added but littlo to
the fund, possibly five dollars in all
but then he was the husband and
father. Mrs. Tarsnoy was afraid of
banks, and so the slowly growing
hoard was kept in tho old pewtyr
sugar bowl.
"It won't be so very long now," tho
poor woman said, hopefully, and then
a paroxysm of coughing shook her.
"My dollar a day will count tip pretty
fast, and Johnny and Jimmy will
make a great deal while grapes last."
Lyman Tarsney lay awake all night
long, torn by doubts and indecision,
He believed be loved his little flock.
He would have done right by them
long ago, he told himself, if only some
thing had turned np to give him a
chance to do so. Tho something for
which ho had so patiently waited hod
been a long time in turning up. But
now, he thought, the opportunity ha4
come; he had his chance at last.
Just as the first faint gray was creep
ing up in tho east, Lyman Tarsney
arose from beside his sleeping wife
and stole the battered old pewter
sugar-bowl and its contents, every
penny of which represented so much
of patient self-denial, of toil and pri
vation. As he slunk through tho room Mrs.
Tarsney, disturbed by some slight
noiso that he made, stirred uneasily
and coughed in her sleep, and the
wretched man paused suddenly, as if
a reproachful voice had called to him.
But the poor woman did not awaken,
and he crept out of the houso with the
preoious hoard in his olutoh.
He started to slink rapidly away,
and then stopped, ho knew not why.
Tho gray of the early morning linng
over the sleeping earth and dimmed
the stars, fading slowly before tho
coming day. Soft sounds of the pass
ing night were borno to his ears with
seemingly unaccustomed clearness.
It would be train time in a few min
utes. Tarsney took two or three
slouching steps toward the gate, and
then stopped again. The patient wife
and mother, the little flock of white
heads how terribly they would bo
cast down when they discovered the
doss I Their grief
But was he not acting for the best,
doing the best for them? ho aske.l
himself. It would not be for long,
and then he would come back with a
much greater sum of money than he
had taken away. He would make it
all up to them then, aud they would
all go back to the old home State.
Still he did not go on. He turned
and crept cautiously to the window,
left open for the admission ot the'
breeze. The room was wrapped in
darkness.
He oould hear tho regular breath
ing of its sleeping inmates, Mrs.
Tarsney coughed again feebly in her
sleep. Disturbed by the sound, one
of the little white heads in the trundle-bod
almost beneath the window
stirred uneasily and murmured,
"Poppy I"
Lyman Tarsney clutohed the window-sill,
and then there came the
long-drawn, far-off whistle of the east
bound train, admonishing him that he
had but just time to reach the station.
He turned and slouched quickly to
the rickety, half-hingeless gate, then
paused with his hand on its top. Tho
littlo white head's ' murmured "Pop
py 1" seemed still eouuding iu his
ears.
Ho stood there for a little while,
then his hand droppo l from tho top
of the gate and he looked up at tho
far, far -off, fading stars in the graying
sky looked up helplessly, dumbly for
a little time, and in that time he knew
himself for what he was.
He saw bis utter worthlessness. The
cruel, criminal neglect of years was
made as clear to him as if a great voice
had shouted the truth in his ears.
Lyman Tarsnoy gasped, bared his
head and stood up straight beneath
the stars.
The rumble of the approao'iing train
grow louder and louder, but the mau
turned and tiptoed into the house, and
replacod the battered old pewter sugar
bowl in the littlo cupboard beside tho
chimney.
Wheu the rest of tho family awoke
with the comiug of the sun, the hus
band aud father was sleeping as
soundly as auy of tho white heads had
slept. The frugal breakfast was kept
waiting for huuas he slept on, and tho
clamor of the white heads was bushed
Poppy was sleepiug. A goodly part
of tho forenoon had slipped away be
fore he awoke.
"I dunno but you ought to have
waked me sooner," ho said to his wifo,
iu a half-shamefaced way. "I'm goiu'
to work to-day. I've becu thiukiu'
about wal, if we're goiu' east we've
got to work. I er you don't uoed
to take that washin' from tho hotel,
Marthy. You'd better rest I'm goiu'
to work.'
Aud ho worked that day and for
many days thereafter worked with a
zeal aud faithfulness nil the more
marked because of his idleness of
many a day before.
If there was any touch of heroism
in this, I thiuk it was augmented by
tho fact that Lyman Tarsney never
kuew what he hail escaped by keepiug
out of tho clutches of the "rueu
goods" men. Youth's Compauiou.

AN ICE CREAM FACTORY.
MAKINO THE CdOlfNG COMPOUND
BY MACHINERY.
Thing Thnt Are Mljtert t'p for It nnl
HowTliey Arc Treated lc Cream
Itrlcks.
ICE CREAM is manufactured from
a combination of milk, pnro
orenm and gelatine, flnvorod with
different extracts, such as vanilla,
lemon, strawberry, etc., tho in
gredients being first mixed np to
gether and placed in circular metal
vessels or runners which revolvo
around inside of circular wooden
tubs, tho runners being surrounded
by a quantity of cracked ice aud rock
salt. Each runner is furnished with
a beater having a number of blades
which revolve around on the insido,
beating up the material, tho ice aud
rock salt causing it to thicken and
form itself into ice cream. Some
manufacturers uso eggs, corn starch,
etc., and boil tho ingrodieuts beforo
freezing.
Tho first process is the mixing to
gether of tho ingredients. About
ten quarts of pure cream, ten quarts
of milk aud about eight pouuds of
granulated sugar are first mixed to
gether. If the ice cream is to bo
flavored with strawberry, about six to
eight drops of puro red coloring and
one-quarter pint of essence of straw
berry are added. A quantity of
gelatine dissolved in about a quart of
warm water is then addod to this,
bringing tho solution up to about
twenty-four quarts in bulk. It is
then run through a strainer or fino
sieve into the runner.
The runners aro mado of copcr,
the insido of which is coated with tin,
which, after about four weeks' con
stant running, has to be reucwed, tho
coating of tin being worn off by tho
working of tho beater. Tho runners
ore about twenty-three inchesin height
and about ono foot in diameter, and
hold about forty quarts. Tho wooden
tubs in which they revolve are two feet
four inches in height and are about
twenty inches in diameter ou tho in
side, leaving a space of about four
inches for the ice around tho ruuucr.
Attached to the top of the cover of
the runner and perpendicular shaft of
the beater, which revolves in a socket
at the top of the grinding machine, nro
two gearing wheels, which aro geared
to another attached to the shafting of
the machine. When the machino is
in motion the beater, containing ten
1 inch iron blades, aud tho ruuuer
revolvo around in different directions,
making about fifty-five rovolutiom
per miuute. As soon as tho machino
is set in motion, a small quantity of
ice and rock salt is added, which is re
newed every few moments until tho
tub is filled, taking iu nil about twenty-five
pounds of ico. Tho boating
operation takes about twelve minutes,
the salt and ice gradually freezing tho
twentv-fonr nuarts solution, while tho
gelatine swells or raises tho material
up to forty quarts.
The grindiug operation is completed
when the ice cream shows or adheres
to the glass wiudows in the cover of
tho runner. The wooden tub with tho
runner of cream is then rolled to ono
side aud another is put iu its pluco to
pass through the same operation. Tho
ice cream is then taken from tho run
ners and put into caus rauging from
one to ten .gallons each and packed

"DUTIES I PUT AWAY
tf . -
Duties I put awny ;
My heart keeps holiday.
I flee the fervent bent
And sock the cool retreat,
WhT8 I can see the blue
And silver river flow,
And greon and distant woOdf
Rwcct silent solitudes.
Here all I calm ; tbo grass
Scarce ru9tlos m I pass.
One works j I hoar bia booo'
la honeysuckle blooms.
Oo, brown beo, go sway ;
I love not work to-day ;
But with white clouds abo-
Thnt rove, my thoughts would fdvi
la random luxury,
Through earth and air and sky.
Even the birds aro still,
And the wind upon the hill, v
Boon through tho tremulous ntr,
All things look calm nnd fair
And I with them would cease
For this delicious peace ,
Lotting the world go by,
With for It all an eye.
