over VL-ry rough, iray lisir.
Xanette was a clear brunette, with eves
bhick as slots and soft as velvet, c'aeeks

.ever balanced on two pretty feet. With
scant means and her Ficnch tancs Xia
ette wus always well dres-:ed. Her print
jyowns titled ler to a Dicty, her ha:r
x; lossy and abundant, was al .vays arranged
becomingly, and there was never any
thing tumbled or soile 1 to raar Xanc.te's
toilette.
Two men, at ieiit, a lured Xanette;
f!corC Davis in heart-rick silence; Cap
tain Saunders with the audacity of wealih
and position.
Captain Saunders feut always to
Ma lame llillien such preserves and fruits
as opened wide the eye-: of the favored
few invited to p-.rtake of them. He hal
always a Iriend in port, just arrived
rom Italy, from Cub 1, from Livei poo',
from China, from any point where the
long arm of commerce pushes her vessels;
and t!:ee friends would always have
foreign daiuties to tenmt the cold froai
ahe pur-e of the generous captain. It
was whispcre 1 that fabrics only suited
lor feminine wear, jewels, fans, liinkets
also eamo to the captain a room, but of
these ho said nothing. Boxes of oranges,
jars of ginger, boies of . macaroni,
tempting morsels from all lands were car
ried up the flight of stairs to Madame
llillien. but of India muslins, Canton
trapes ;.:n's silks, rings and bracelets the
captaii. .-aid riever a word.
Still the face cf (icorgo Davis grew
longer and paler day by day, as the sight
of his rival's prosperity was forced upon
him. It was trua that Xanette loyally
purchased every pound of tea aud peck
of potatoes at the grocery ia the base
ment aud presented her enh with the
smile of aa angc!. Trje, too, that sho
never passed the grocer without a smile
and sometimes a little blush.
For the grocer was only thrce-and-twenty,
with a blond beard and eyes as
blue as a patch of summer skv, while the
captain was nearly siify, with grizzled
red hair, a ekia like mahogaav, and eves
of no
green.

Cut the captain had a lona bank-
account, aud could woo gallantly and
loudly, while tne grocer only spoke with
hia ryes, r.nd wondered vaguely ho;v
long two could live upon profits that
were half starvation for one.
"She is so pretty!" the poor young
fellow thought, with a sigh; "co won
der she likes to ride with the captain in
the Park, while I am tied to the counter j
...... ...w a uuv in.
roll in the barrels. I could not send a
ba.sket home if a customer asked it."
But fortunately the customers were of
that class thut never trust a market-basket
out of their own hands. Still, as they
were very evicting as to the Iar"est
measure for the lowest price, that bal
cnccd the matter.
It was not a very flourishing grocery
stoic, for the goods were of the cheapest
description, and tho profits were very
sm ill; and often when the stock had to
be replenished, George Davis wore patched
" sho?9 and the shabbiest ot clothes.
"It would delight my Lcirt," Xanette
snid once to her mother, "if I could once
i;et my to hand3 in the linen-closet of
Monsieur Davis and repair hia collars
and cuffs. They are frayed. Oh!"
with uplifted Laais "how t'acy are

'Let him 50! I have my work and

"He 1 n t horrible."
"No, you are right. He is kin 1 aid
.food, an i I am sorry he will love me
orhen I cannot love him."
"But, way':"
"Ah. why!" said Xanette, fhrujjaina
her pretty shoulders. But sue ran a.vay
then aud bojan ti concoct a mirvt'lo'is
omelet for supper, singing in a Ion J.
clear voice, so that her inotaer could not
;nake her heat from where she sat iu au
nner room. Whv.' Xever a word o!

A'anette knew that she always hud t it
.:hoice of the mirket set aside for he-,
and there was aiwaji a little overweig'at
of all the ;hoicest thinjs in her basket.
But the attentions of the captain soon
became a burden : not because of hi.
persecution?, but because Madame H:I
lien became fretful and exacting oa tus
subject. It was all foolishness ou
Xanette's part, and no modest girl re
i'ued the husband her aiother off-.Ted ber,
;be said.
I 8ut Xanettc had been too long ii
i-Ycaerica, though she was but tTenty
Nj, to give up her freedom of choscj
I.'or any old Fienc 1 custom.
'Here girls c'joose their owa bus-
' i'ands." she said.
And Madame Hillcn sere lined:
"You would o3er yourself to him?"

But Xanette was not bold, . a id hei
Jenoer heart was sora over h?r lover's
isilence. lie was her lover: of that s'ae wa'
sure; but he was poor, se Tery poor, an I
netded a wife to help bi n gro rich.
Kow she could help him! Ho v sin
would save in house keeping. and make iii
clo'.hes last twice as long, and tidy up
:he rooms the open door showeJ to be
so forlorn. She was a true woman, this
Jittle Xanette, longing to give loyal ser
vica where she gave loyal love. But h
'would not speak.
"It is already two years we have be?n
jn the house," Xanette thought, "aid I
know he lovas me."
Something wonderful happened just at
this time. There was aa old uaele iu
France, a clo-x'-iisteJ miser, who Lai ri
fu'ed often and often to help hi
widowed sister by so much as a niucli of
salt, arid he died, leaving to Xinette a
sum that made ten thousand American
dollars.
It fairly stunned the little milliner.
, To bs so rich as that, w hen and here a
' -.t. i-: : . . 1 .1 .... 1
choking sob came into her throat wheo

the me li she loved had not a goo 1 coat
to his back, tho'tghhc workttd faitalully
to earn one. Xanette grieved over her
access of fortune as much as she rej iced.
She shrewdly sjspectel the cause ol
Oeorge's silence, and knew that this
legacy would be another bar betwean
them. Already her mother was talking
of moving into a better neighborhood
end mora commodious apartment..
The captain had offered his congratu
lations rather ruefully appreciating the
weight of this nev phase of affairs.
"I was sure of the irother," he
thought, "but now I ara not so sure."
It was dusk when he rattled the key
in his own door, aad did not see a tall
figure near him, until a familiar voicj in
the darkness, said
"May I leave the keys of the basement
with you, captain?"
"Hey, what? You are going away?"
les, 1 an going aay, said George
Davis, very silly
"I hone vou wi t be

"Oh, you do!
Pray, what is there to'
make me especially happy, just now.
Thin George flashed out :
"If such a woman as Xanetta, were
goin,
to marry me, I should not askl
that question," and something suspic-
iously like a sob ended the sentence. , '
"Who told you I was going to marrii
Xanette?" " I
"Madame Hillien." , J
"Then she told a ii'iem! s'ae mi W ;

the way is onen to you."
"Ab, no! I am so poor, so verypjor,'
you see. I have no capital to start nny
thing, and I can only scratch out tho
barest living. And now this money has
come, aoi 1 win go away : lou sen
I I love her so much, I cannot stay any
longer. My heart is breaking."

I am quite sure the dark was unan

standing leaning against the banister
when he said :

Suddenly there was a little soft rustle

round his neck, a soft check touch his.

But one thing Xanette said at last, as
they went arm in arm upstairs to cou
front Madame Hil.ien :
"Tou will not tell anybody, will you,
George, that I proposed to you, thougn
it is leap-year"
"Never!" was the emphatic reply.

A Little lleroiue.
Maud Hood is only a tiny mite ol
j thirteen, and therefore not capable of
j doing anything on what the world would
call a great scale, but nevertheless her
name merits n place in the large "Book
: of Golden Deeds." There are seveu
. motherless little ones in Maud'a home in
Lowe Sydenham, all young. Their
j father, a working watchmaker, has 1 1
earn the household bread, and ono
brother help3 in the process by acting as
a green grocer's errand boy. Another
is an invalid confine 1 to bed aad the
caies of the household aud the oversight
of the younger ones all fall upon little
mother Maud. While she was attending
tt the invalid, Arthur, four years old,
severely scalded himself by upsetting a
teapot at t:ie hrep. ace. Maud and the
! elder boy got him into bed and dresscl
I the wounds with oil as best they could.
The green grocer's customers were wait
ing, and the errand lad had to go, leav
ing his sister in solo charge. She de
cided that the burncl child required bet
ter trea'uieut than she could give, so she
marched off to the home for sick chil
dren to lay the case bofore them. Ye'
they would take him in, but she must get a
letter ot aomiss-.on. nerei They gave
her the names cf several subscribers. Off
she went to canra,ss and was happily
successful. How to get him to the house:
She bonowej a perambulator, carefully
placed the injured child upon the cush
ions, nnd wheeled it herself to the in-
Stlltioil. where the invalid w 1 u nn
' admitted. All this energv and devotion
were of no avail, for the barns were too
severe. Pall Mall Gazette.

PHOTOGRAPHING IN COLORS.
Xi ni'irkutilu Ucttulla Acromplinhed by tin
Ileliorhronioscopn.
The latest invention In the line o
photographing in colors Is aa Instru
ment icrfected by Frederick K. Ives,
of I liiladelphia. It is called the
lie'.iocliroiiioscope, and is a device fur
exhibiting triple-plats composites.
Inly one observer at a time can look
into this lit tie machine, and what ho
sees is a colored photograph prcdu ed
by three negatives taken on one plate,
by one exposure. The result is emi
nently pleasing and lifelike, and is a
vast improvement over any other
p-ctlifal of producing colored plin!-
giap- s now in use.

the had earned especially for the
purpose. The money was to be
landed in at the next meeting of tLc
Vuxiliary.
The time came, aud the contribu-.b-us
were duly turned over to the
ireasurer. Some members brought
;'o or thrc3 dollars, an l the total
imount was really handsome and
ncouraging. Then, of course, the
food women fell to relating their ex
perience in earning the money.

Tinaliy her next neighbor asked:
"How did you earn your contribu

"1 got Mr. Alhm to give it to me."
"Oh! ohi" cried several voices at

"Why, that wasn't according to the

"Perhaps you wouldn't," said Mrs.

would, if your husband was like some

".List tit lor a little while," said
Policeiavi ! niaell to a reporter who
was on his way ho ue alter his night's
work, "an 1 vu i will see the strangest
gathering that yoj ever looked at ie
this town."
The old r.nm kept moving until he
reached the bright light whica shown
cheerfully froru tin windows of tho
Vienna 15 ikery, midway on the block.
He looke I wistfully at the scene of good

trembling from col 1 an 1 hunger.

'il.eie was n ; a worJ spoken above a
whisper. S .til.- of the m.a were drunk
and hardly ably to stun 1, but they were
held in plate by their co.nra les in
misery. One fellow dropped on the

Tacra was a flaifer of excitement J
a.ong t.io hue as toe doors of tut! ba.;-.-ry
were i'urowu open with a lou 1 bang and
several bakers in white caps and aprons
rolled a half dozen big boxe3 filled with
b:eil oa the sidewalk. Tho bakers
handed out the bread to tin men, and
the line moved sio.vly along with the
shuffle of the lock step, well kno.vn,
apparently, to many of the gnng. To
every mau was given n l uf ef bread a
day old. There was .w ro than enough
to no around and soim got t.v loaves.
Tin long wait in the open a:r seemed
to Give added aa extra pang to the
hunger of the men, and almost every
one took a rrveno.is bito fro:a the loaf
as soon as. it reached his hand. They
acted like, hungry wolves ia sight of
prey, and to many of tliciu the dry
bread appeared lit for a kingly feast.
Some sat down on the euro, broke oil
large chunks of tin loaf au 1 fairly
crammed it into their mouths until every
morsel of it was one. Others, after a
few bites, stowed the brei 1 away among
the rags which covered their bodies, and
a few hurried away without tojchmg it
at all. In fifteen minutC3 tho street was
deserte 1 and no sound was heard save
the merry song of tho bakers as they
piled up big stacks of bread for theu
customers with tho feeling that steals
into the human l.eirt when a good acS
lias been performed.
