The iiiiii n road ran along the bottom, nil the remaining two sides were bounded by st retches of blank wall, above which a few sickly plane trees wtre fluttering their leaves in the Au cu-t nir. Eleanor Lloyd, from her window in tlic roof, could see not only the wall ami the piano trees, but, by dint of cntitiiiir her neck, the High street itself, Willi its ceaseless stream of trains and oniniliiisos. There was a public house at the curlier, and, art the dour swung lmckwiuil and forward, Eleanor rnught pliinpscs of the lively barmaid behind Ler lull white tap handles. A group of flower girls, with uncurled feathers and straight fringes, stood outside on the pavement, jesting with 'busmen anil passers-by. Kleanor, who was a "ladv" (heaven help lmrl), used some times to envy the barmaid and the flowoi girls their social opioi-tuuity. This evening, over everything, over the sordid street, the dusty trees, the clustering roofs over the girl at the window with her palo face, strong young shoulders and shabby gown brooded the spirit of the tired summer. The summer, which, by stream and ea, is lusty from June to Sepfemlier. drugs on weary and dispirited through its later weeks in the city. The hot, dusty, grit laden air blew from the east ; it moved querulously among the plane trees, and lifted at in tervals the hair on Kleanor's forehead. She had been sitting there all the af ternoon, mid now the sun was setting. There was nothing for her to do. Her little pupils in the neighlxiring square bail gone to the sea; her brothers and sisters played noisily in the basement parlor; even poor Eddy had fallen asleep on the sofa, with the crutch, that was of so little use to him, at his tide. And now, as a great red flame li4 up the west, there came over Eleanor one f those liiilf-raptiirou tits of longing, those iieive yearnings for happiness, Which most of us know in youth; which are not noble, not beautiful, perhaps; certainly in no way to be en Ooarugod; which are only infinitely Ouel and inliuitely sad. 80 the cry went up from her, the knman. Passionate crv from this hclli- Ims, fluttering creature caught oh, tte irony of it ! in a pitiless network f suburban streets. A man, with bent, shabby shoulders nd lagging frit;t turned up the terrace 'row the High street. At the parlor window of the Lloyd's House a Worinmt-looking woman, with patient face, watched him and sighed. ' 1" their youth, no doubt, the hus kmid and wife had dreamed of other things than those long years of cease less inlmr with their scant reward. . Haul-working, unassuming, deli cately just, IC was notj perhaps, of the luff of which rich men are made. The children clamored up into the Plor to greet their father. Eddy kid out a ltttle thin hand from the Kleanor, with the dreams still her dazzled eyes, slid into the dark ened room darkened on behalf of etrPet ami curtains and took her P1 at the tealable. "lid yon see your letter, father?" ld the wife, as she lifted tho teapot Uiitminia metal. Mr. Lloyd, who had taken the long lue envelope from the mantelpiece, "to it Unopened liesidn hia nlnfe.

A long, closely written sheet of pa per unrolled itself beneath hia hand. He straightened the glasses on bin tired eyes and began to read. He read it onco. he read it twice, then lifting a perplexed face, said faintly: "Mother, what does this iean?" She was at his side, terming over him, in a moment. She, too, read the letter, then stood strangely silent. "Children," said their father, "a wonderful thing has happened. It seems that I am a rich man. My brother, from whom I parted in anger many years ago, is dead. Ho died as he had lived alone ; but at the last remembered me and forgave me. " His voice died away; and the wife, looking from her children's faces, on which a radient comprehension was slowly dawning, to her husband's pre maturely grizzled head, burst suddenly nto weeping. " My wife," he said taking her into bis arms " there is no more cause tc weep. II. Mrs. Lloyd brushed her husband's coat and hat the next morning even more carefully than usual, with a view to bis visit to the lawyer. "If it had come sooner 1" she thought, as she watched the bent, be loved figure down the street. Then she went back to her household 1 duties. The burden of those long years was not to be shaken off in an hour. She had stiffened, perhaps, into a habit of orrow and poverty; it is certain that 6he labored faithfully throughout the day at her sordid cares, scarcely able to realize tho strange fortune which bad befallen them. Itut not so the children. For them the good news was a reality. They drew together, building their castles in the air, whioh, unlike such erections generally, had foundations of solid gold, and even in their unsubstantial Upper stories were fitted up with sa gacity characteristic of the early wise children of the poor. Eddy, from his sofa, spoke wistfully ot marvellous cures, of health-giving breezes, of great doctors whose ser vices he could now command. Eleanor moved about the house with new life, speaking little, but dreaming, dream ing, dreaming through the summer hours. The wonderful day sped to its close. Once more the family gathered round the tea tablo, the tired father taking his scat at the head. "Did you go to that lawyer, father? A nice fellow he must be, I should Bay!" cried Eddy, who was a privi-' leged person. "And father, did you tell them at the office that you are not going back any more?" added Eleanor, with a new gladness in her voice, a new light in her eyes, which today, at least, were tho eyes of a pretty girl. "Your father is tired," said the mother, seeing that her husband neither moved nor spoke, but sat with his el bow on the table, shading his face with his hand. "No, no," he snid, quickly, "I am not tired." Then, lifting his head suddenly, he spoke out with curious harshness: "Wife, children, you must put to day and yesterday out of your heads It has all been a mistake." Half-imploring, half-defiant, he swept the dismayed circle of faces with his glance; then, dropping his eyes, went on: "The money was never ours, never could be ours. It was the fruit of cruelty and extortion ; it was wrung from the starving poor. It is money that no honest man can touch.'' He covered his face with his hand. and there was silence in the room. Then, all at once, the youngest of the children broke into loud crying, and Eleanor, with flaming cheeks and blazing eyes, sprang to her feet. "I knew ill" she cried, and tho an- . gor ami sorrow 01 ner vo.ee we. .... to hear. "I knew it cou u noi ou true that we were going to be happy. It is a shame, a shame, but I knew it I" And she went from the room. Her father followed her into the narrow passage, shutting the door be hind them. She stood silent, motionless, with her forehead pressed to the wall. He stretched out a tired, trembling hand, and laid it on her shoulder. "My dear" the harsh note of pain had faded from his voice; it was only very wistful and weary "My dear, I am very sorry. But you would not wish it otherwise, I know." - He was a man of few words sim ple, timid, little given to demonstra tions of affection. "You do not wish it otherwise?" he aid again. No answer; but he felt the shoulder shaking with sobs beneath his touch. In the poor girl's simple heart she held her father's decision as absolutely f without alternative as he Had .lone himself, ner ftnger was Impersonal, had done - directed against iatc, au . 1 thetfc wand ol ber father', voice dm tne , , . hadn&tato iMtt. Sr'utime in the parlor the mother "foiled her children. ItwasElean- or who had believed in Eldoindo, and yet who had cried, "I knew it!" The mother, whose heart had throughout refused to accept tho glad tidings, made no such proclamation. Sho quieted the crying child, handed Eddy his tea and taking up the loaf began to cut it. This evening the sun had been al lowed to stream in through the win dow regardless of the poor carpet and curtains. Perceiving this, Mrs. Lloyd laid down her knife and, stirred by the familiar thrifty instinct, walked firmly across the room and quietly drew dowr the blind. Hetty Ogle. Every one knows of the noble and tragic death of Hetty Ogle, the heroic telegrapher of Johnstown, but few have, watched the consistent and well- ordered course of her life. Hetty Ogle was born in the beautiful mountain village of Somerset, Penn sylvania, and there she grew to be a cheerful, hopeful, happy, pleasant- faced young woman. Her father was for many years Re corder of the courts there. He died a poor man. There were few education al advantages in Somerset, and though Hetty had a strong, well-balanced mind it had little school training. After her father's death she married Charles Ogle, a younger memler of the family so disti nguished in Pennsylvania pol itics. He was one of the first to enlist as a soldier in the civil war, and was killed in the Wilderness at the battle of Gaines Mill. His body was never recovered. Mrs. Ogle was left with three little children to support, and sho went to work calmly and bravely to do it. The telegraph office in Somerset was in a room also occupied as a store, and where the rough men of the town congregated to gossip and quarrel; but she undertook to learn that business, and she did it thoroughly never getting a disrespectful word from any ono, the hardest part of her task being that sho left her babies at home to take care of each other as best they could. She soon liecame wonderfully proficient, and was given an office of her own in Somerset. From that she gained the confidence of the telegraph company so entirely that at the time of her death she had charge of three telegraph lines i Johnstown. Her two boys grew to be fine fellows, shaped by her strong will anil good example. Her daughter was always frail iu health, and was only kept alive by the tender care of her mother. Their home was the most perfectly ordered that can be imagined. It was seldom invaded by a setauit, but was kept exquisitely neat by tho skilful and deft hands of the mistress. Everything that came upon her table was of tho daintiest, and sho shared what she had with rich and poor. Her friends always said Hetty's cotlee-pot was inexhaustible. She taught scores of boys and girls telegraphy for no thing, and helped them to find situa tions. At the time of her death two young girls were gratuitously sharing her home and earning good wages in telegraph offices from the benefit of her instruction. They died with their benefactress. She even found time to do beautiful fancy work with her wonderful, quick fingers. She was one of the sort of whom people say, "How does she find time to accomplish all that she does?" Sho was a member of the Christian Church. Her religion was certainly most practical. She embodied tin jjildon rule. She hail at one time to endure 0 terrible surgical operation. Aflcr it was over, and she was just regaining consciousness sho saw her son, to whom she had taught telegraphy, standing bv her side. He saw her fingere move, although she could not speak, and he understood that she was tele graphing on the lcl-ppreail, "It is aver: I am safe." to a distant and anxious friend. She was entirely tin selfish during every conscious moment of her useful life. While this illness was progressing, the telegraph com .....- i.. K.iii, she leiil lMen so faith r""j l" " . auym ftt th(..r ow exM-nse, to take her place in their offices. All the mill whistles in the region were hushed by a positive order from the owners while she was in a critical condition, and bulletins were regularly issued to the anxious town, where she commanded general love and respect. The company which she served had just repaired ami put in perfect order tlie house which she occupied, and tho world never looked brighter n- fairer to Hetty Ogle, than upon the morning of the day that she gave up her life in the effort to save her fellow-crealures. Not a trace of her drowned, burned, maimed, scattered liody has Imk'h dis covered by agonized searchers, but we, who believe in the reward of the faithful servant, are confident that Hetty Ogle has heard from the Master "Well done; enter Ihou into the joy of thy Lord."

Then comes breakfast, which s partaken of with his sons, kinsmen, tnu intimate irienas. He then steps on a balcony, and is minted by his elephants, who bend heir knees thrice when the signal is riven. His favorite horses are next led lefore him, and his tame tigers, which -eceive sweetmeats from his hand.

When great man's name is called ont he sa lutes the prince, who returns the com pliment and bids him be seated. The morning andience drags on generally until three p.m., when the prince re tires to enjoy his well-earned sleep 01 siesta. At half-past five this woll-worked chieftain places himself in a balcony, whence he can see his troops at theii exercise; and in an honr after the palace is brilliantly lighted np with tapers, whose flames are shielded by plars shades. When great men visil the prince at night they are perfumed, 11 ml enter without arms of any kind. The floors are earpetod with white mus lin, spread on Persian rngs of the richest hues. Tho prince loves white and hftf white muslin everywhere. Then comet a merry comedy, acted by beautiful and highly trained women. It lasts from about eight to elcven.during which time yonng nobles move abont, answering any questions that may be put to them, and offering refreshments or playing games with them. Meanwhile the prince chats with ministers or ambas sadors, always busy, and minding the main thing. Then flowers are brought in, and he hands some to the lord altont him, and the basket is then of fered to every ono, who makes an olieisance as be picks a blossom. When the prince wishes to honor any one specinlly, he makes a collar of jessa mine, knotting the flowers together with silk, and then he flings it round the neck of the happy man, who it visited and complimented the next day by all I lie greatest in the land. If a great victory had been gained in comes the conrt-bard and recites bombastic piece of flattery.

Short Bits of Gossip and Latest Hotel of Fashion. Foulard is a favorite for street ana carriage costume. A particularly strik ing costume is of Van Iyko red fou lard, with large, white lxuniuets; skirt and waist are edged with th-cp points ot led velvet. With this costume is carried an immense paras.. I of similar foulard, black lace straw hat with pan ache of feathers. The large hat is the great favorite, and it seeks to make the most of rts present supremacy parading its charms out of doors at all hours, even when the rays of the sun have given place to the pale light of the moon. A new blue has come to gladden the hearts of the blonde Ix-lles, which varies in hade between dove gray and old liluo. A feature of the newest fans is that the tops are scalIoied out around each tiek and edged with a tine-laced bead ing. I he sie docs not ditler mate rially from those of last year, but the new styles have a tendency to smaller fans and a ixvuliar half-round, half- oval shape, which is a revival of the Id r retich shapes. The decora! iou in lengthwise on a fan with sticks out- ide, and crosswise on a ribbon fan. For morning promenade a simplo little costume of flannel or serge is alwavs in plate. The light weight flannels in pretty design, and bright color, make very becoming costumes. The large dot seems to lie the favorite design in these goods. A very pretty costume has a wide skirt of mastic flannel, witJi large reddish-brown dots; sleeveless Figaro jacket of brown flan nel, opens over a blouse shirt of mastic iurnh. Among fans the greatest novelty seen is the "I'na," the frame of daint ily carved wood, a semi-circle of more than ordinary dimensions, the cover of softly shaded silk with delicate liand- lainled bouquets. A very choice fan of this style is of gray stained wood and silk shaded from the faintest tint of pearl to darkest cloudy gray. The ellect is lc-lgliteiied by having the txu qtiets painted on the light, the delicate trailing stems on the dark ground. Plain women let us not snv uglv, for no woman is ugly who has one good feature may make themselves really attractive by wise care of the hair and complexion, am by a neat taste in dress. 1 hen again. cleanliness is health, and health is beauty in nine cases out of ten; and in the tcnthcase, it is a preventive of tigli ness. A woman who is young and healthy and who dresses neatly and appropriately, need no! fear to enter the lists against all the professional beauties of her circle. Khliug-hiilnts are undergoing a marked change, and it is a change that fills with distuav the heart of the nian- dresser. L-ulies are finding out that jerseys are easier to ride in than the still' habit basque of lale years, and they are adopting them and riding skirls are no longer made so tight that the wearer has to button them all the way np. The skirts are made a yard and a half long and onlv the front breadth is gored. The skirt is plaited in nt the sides and back. The skirts are two yards and a half around. Negligees of I ndia silk and lace arc very dressy and light, weighing but a few ounces; bright colored silks, Va lenciennes and maliue laces are used in the make up of these peignoirs. For the economically inclined, the excel lent imitations of these laces, w hich can be had in great quantities, arc equally available. The negligee japo- nais is of India silk w ith large full . Ion n roses on a cream ground; two broad rovers are dmped crossways on the front of the waist and skirl, from under which appears innumerable tinv floiiiieiiigs of cream silk gau.e. Full elbow sleeves trimmed with lace. A Faris dressmaker makes this naive disclosure of the plan on which goods are lisssed of lo American shoppers in the gaV capital: "Ze ISoston ladv, oh! she is very easv; we sell her ze thiugs that ze Kuglish ladies have lHitight. Ze New York ladv, we sell her ze thing that ze F.nglish lady have not bought, and which we offer to ze lady from Lvons, from Marseilles w hat will you? Or to some Xew York ladies we sell ze fanciful tiling, ze dress for ze chateau, and zey call it ze street dress, figure that to vonrself I I!ut to ze Chicago ladv we sell ze thing zat ze Kuglish lady will not look at and which ze Iloston lady regard with looks affright, and at which ze New York lady scream. Ah, we know zein all." One reason given bv a fashion jour nal for the great number and variety of loqnes worn this season is that they are a sort of compromise between luiniiet and a hat. Another reason far more potent, is that they are pre eminently becoming to nearly every face. Elegant jet caiM(es in wholly new devices in lace tulle and straw for ordinary wear are equally popular though fashion still favors headgear which matches the gown or wrap color. Those w ho do not confine them selves to one particular color find lionnet or bat that can be suitably worn with anv shade both convenient am economical. All the flower lmnnets arelovelv. The flowers used are al most invariably small and are not too pronounced in shade.
