ET CIUBIXS STOKES WAYNE. OTXXQ Engfer r emembered quite dis tinctly that morning seven years ego, -when Miss Sturgis had coma with her mother to hi father's shop to be measured for a riiUnsr- habit. He remembered the frock ol large plaid that she wore, all green and blue and black, and he remembered her blue fait hat with feathers; but what had its ostrich made a still deeper impression upon his boyish mind was her pretty pink-and-white face, her great hazel eyes, and her eunny curls, which, after being caught nt the nape of her neck with a darS blue ribbon, went rippling r!own ovex her rougrh brown coat nearly to her waist. II ) had stood at tho little desk in tho corner, making out bills fox it was a Saturday, and, there being no school, ha was engaged at his usual holiday occupation. He was sixteen thee, and ho fancied that she was a year or two younger ; for he had overheard her mother say that it won her rbt riding-habit, and that they did not care for an expensive one, because the would outgrow it. He recalled that shj bad blushed at this, as though it were a crime to be young and growing, and th:;t a feeling of re sentment had coma into his heart against her mother for subjecting hex to such an embarrassment. Seven years had wroncrht a frreat many changes, but tho shop was iu the same old place there on Sixth avenue, under tho shapow of tl.o Joffernor Harket l'olioe Court's brick walls, end with tho elevnted railroad train? rum bling past tho windows of the uppei room where ho studied and where hi slept. Earl Engfer, tho tailor's eon, however, was no longer a a school-boy, looking after his father's books and making out his father's bills on holi days. He was now a student at the general theological seminary n Pro testant Episcopal clergyman in embrvc and ho woro sombre black gnciuentf of a somewhat clerical cut to indicate his chosen profession. Why he had gone into the church he hardly dtred to confess, even to him self, becaus? ho was really a conscien tious young fellow at heart, and he believed that there was such a thing as a divino call to tho priesthood. Id his ca3e he doubted if the call was divine. Tho orthodox teachings of a maiden lady who presided over the class in the mission Snnday-school that he attended on Carmine street had not been without effect. He had accepted the Scripturo as truth, he had been baptized and he had been confirmed, but the impulse to go forth and preach tho Gospel had come rather from a wish to tlevato himself abovo the levei of the surroundings in which ho had been born and raised, than from any burning desire to lift his fellow-iaaa Elough of despond. Young Engfer dot and then inflicted upon himself a sort of moral flnge la- tion. At such times he opened his own heart to his own honest gaze, and ho invariably found there n deeper r.nderlyiu motivo for his course, of which ho was hair ashamed, It w:is nothing mora nor less than nn ambition to p;ain a position from which he might nrpira to the love of the little maid ia th- plaid frock who had ordered her first riding-habit from his father on that Saturday seven years ago. I, would not have been an unworthy ambition, ho told himself, under other circumstances. If it were only a eec- ondary consideration ! If he had given himself to tho church first, and this desire had come afterword, he could hare pacified his chiding conscience with the assuranco that a wife such a Madeline Sturgis would make him. would be of incalculable assistance toi him in his parochial work ; but now ho felt that ho was using his holy calling as a means to accomplish an end that! was distinctly seltish, and as such hypocritically base. Thcso moods, as might be sup-i posed, wero morbidly depressin-r.

Tho chasm which had once in bis heart The son of a cheap Oer-j seemed so wide between them was grow man tailor ; his companions, like him Ing narrower and narrower.

Once he was or it was certainly a wild notion that pos-l dained the breach might easily be sessed him to woo and win this aristo- closed entirely. cratic little maiden, whose people wero ; "And now," she went on, "I want tc not only rich enough to buy and sell offer you my congratulations upon. th him and his father a thousand times fc00l news I heard to-day ; that you over, but wcra of a social stratum far are coming to the mission to take Mr. above that in which the Englers lived David's place." and moved and had their being. I Earl could hardly believe that he He rernemoered how he had carried heard aright Could it bo that she home that first riding-habit when it as actually pleased that Mr. David was finished, and how he had been was going away? Atone time during asked to wait in the dining-room until Miga 6tnrris could trv it on and ascer- tain whether it was entirely eatisfac- torv; and ho recalled how he had sat there in that basement apartment with its extension table and its leather- 'covered chairs ; how he had looked with admiration unon the enaravincs in walnut frames that hung upon the Walls and how he had hoped, all tho time, that there might be some com plaint, so that the liltle lady would come down to show him just what was jtrrong, and ha could get another glimpse of her. But his father was a good workman. The habit was all that could be desired and he had returned home disappointed. The days when ho saw Madeline he called his red-letter days, and for a lime tney were xewer man tnose tnas sro indicated in the printed calendars. One January afternoon, however, Mrs. Bturgis had come into the shop and had asked his father if Earl would not like to go to tho mission Sundav- Hchool on Carmine street, in which she was very much interested, and his father, who would have gone through tire and flood to please a customer, so fearful was he of losing a dollar's worth of trade, had said that Karl would certainly be there on the follow- i-ig Sunday. ! From thnt time on ho saw her more frequently, and his infatuation in creased in proportion. She taught a class of small boys across the aisle from where he usually sat, and on more than one occasion the maiden lady who pre sided over tho group of larger boys, of which he was one, was compelled to demand with soma emphesis his return to tho business of the hour, his gaze having a way of wandering repeatedly from his catechism or his Bible to the faco of tho pretty little teacher in the opposito pew. One incident that he recalled with some pleasure had occurred on a Sun day afternoon in early spring. Ha had noticed that .Mrs. bturgis was not present in tho chapel; that Madeline Lad come alone : and he had wondered 11 through the lesson whether it would peed rude on his part, after tho close of the session, to offer to walk home with her. If he only could, he thought, it would be the happiest day of his life ; but he feared that she might think him impudent and presuming, and, when the school was dismissed and the scholars and teachers filed out into tho street, ho Incked the courage to go forward nn l speak to her. Bat his hnppiness had come, never- theltss ; for in following her at what he considered a most respectful dls- tancc, his eyes never once leaving her lithe young figure, clad in a well fit- ting spring jacket that his father had jcrut with hia own hand, he had seen her rudely jostled by a drunken man, and jhad dashed to her aid almost before he (realized what he was doing. The re- collection of her gratitude was one of bis moat cherished memories; and now, as he turned into Washington place, he was thinking of how, on that pecasion, her manner was so cordial and so completely lacking in any indi cation that she recognized any differ ence whatever in their social "station. He remembered that it was oa that day that his determination to study for the ministry was formed, and that it drew out of her telling him that the issistan'- minister at tho missicrBT had lined v ith tbem on the evening before, "The day v ill come," he had thought, "when I, too, may be asked there to line." And now ho was thinking that day night not be so far distant; for, was be not going to the mission, the week Jollowing, to take the place, temporily, f that very same assistant minister, !ho Ke v. Mr. David, who, he had heard," as to bo married and go to Europe .or a thren months honeymoon tour? "Yes, it was true, as Lord Beacons- Sold had said: "Any man may bo irnai ne mates up nis mind to be. 1 By the time young Engfer reached (he Sturgis residence ho had walkeq md thought himself out of the gloom of his blues and his self chidings intd tho radiant sunshine of a hope de-) lerrcd that was on the verge of reali-i ration; and ho whistled softly ameri rier air than was to be found in thi uymnal, as he tripped lightly dowri tho stnno steps of tho area-way, and rang the bell. It was his iatontion to hand in th bundle and to make off as quickly a possible. Ho had no notion of beinn recognized, and above all he wished ' I j avoid the possibility of a reqnest to &w&it in tho dining room, as ho had ol I yore, the verdict as to fit. In making ' these plans ho had counted upon tha boll being answered by a housemaid, ' and when, instead of a servant, tha uoor waa opened by Miss Bturgis her- self, his mode of procedure was, of ne- ressity, somewhat altered.

(he soft light cast by the pink shade the latter part of his attendance at th mission Sunday-school he had thought that she cared something for the young divine, and he had really been a little jealous of him. "Ton are very kind, Miss Sturgis," he said, "very kind. Do you take at mucn interest in the mission ai formerly?" "Oh, dear, yes. More than ever 1" "Then I suppose I shall see a good deal of you, there?" "Of me?" she asked, snrprisedly. "Oh, you don't know, then ! Why thought every oieknew. Havon't you heard whom Mr. David is goiu to marry?" A sharp pain as from a knife thrust, shot through Earl's heart. He seemed suddenly nnable to breath. There was a rumbling, rushing sound in hie head and a swaying, darkening cloud before his eyes. He wss conscious ol a tingling chilliness, and then of a numbness in his hands, his feet, and his legs from the knees down. He made an effort to pull himself to gether to hido his feelings but he failed. He felt that he was stifling ; that he must get into the fresh air, at any cost; and he heard himseli mumbling something, he scarcely knew what, his voice seemed so strange and unnatural. Tho next moment he was stumbling np the area steps on to the sidewalk ; and an instant later he had come into collision with some one who was about to mount the stoop. ' The shock steadied him. He started to apologize, but the words died on his tongue. The light of a street lamp across the way had revealed to him the face which he had suddenly come to abhor the face of the one man in all the world whom be hated : the face ol he thief tvho had robbed him of 8 hope thnt for seven years had been to (iim more than life itself, and of an hmbition that had raised him from the level of his own people to a place ol Which he might well have been proud, : Iastinctivrlv he clinched his fists. nd a lire came into his eyes. Then, luadenly, he grew dizzy again. Iron 5ngers seemed to be pressing upon his iemples with the terrible clntch ol loath, and he staggered away like a Ironken man. I He wandered the streets for hours ; ' t whirl of memories in his brain, s leaden weight upon his heaxt-up one thoroughfare and down another, ihrouph by-ways, in and out of blind illeys, seeing no thing.caring for noth- 'nS DUt to escape from himself and th torture that was within him. Presently he became conscious o) the sound of lapping waves the mur- nnr of waters and a chill in the ail that pierced him to the marrow. Be- Sailed thus to a realization of his phys- 'cal beiDg, ha glanced down, to see 'hat he was standing on the extremi end of a long pier, with the dark river Bowing below. A keen wind wa olowing in his face ; a thousand light glittered on the opposite shore, "Another step," he murmured, "anc I should have been out of it alL 'Whj did I not take that one as I took thi Others? And, oh, I must have taker so many to-night. How tired I am !" Se stood for a moment in hesitation. Something was whispering to him t take that one step more.

Of whai use was all his learning his Greek anc Latin and Hebrew, his knowledge o! the Bible, his knowledge of theology 1 VY hat good would he do? Then another voice, lower, sweeter, more tender in its pleading, spoke tc him. It seemed borne on the wind, which had suddenly died to a eepher. It answered the questions, one and all.

Not less than a score of theories havt !ern advanced as to the origin of tho dollar mark ($). Of these the St Louis Republic believes the following to be the most plans: ide : 1. That it is a combination of the 'U. S.," the initials of the United States. 2. That it is a modification of tha figure 8, the dollar formally called a "piece of eight." 3. That it is derived from a repre sentation of the Pillars of Hercules, consisting of two neodle-like towers or pillars connected with a scroll. Tha old Spanish coins marked with the pil lar device were frequently referred to as "pillar dollars." 4. That it is a combination of "H. S.," the ancient Roman mark of money1 unit. 5. That it is a combination of P. and 3. from peso duro, signifying "hardj dollar." In Spanish accounts peso is) contracted by writing the S over the P and placing it after the sum. According to one writer the symbol of the dollar is a monogram of the let ters "V," "S" and "J," the dollar be in t originally a 'thaler" coined in the valley o Sant Joach:r.i, Eoliemia, and known as a "Joachim thaler," and the monogram the initials of the words, "Valley Sant Joachim." The editor ef the London Whitehall Beview, a very able writer, in giving his opinion of "Reason No. 3, as given above, says : "The American symbol for dollar is taken from the Spanish dollar, and the origin of the sign, of course, must be looked for in associations of Spanish coins. On the reverse aide of the Spanish dollar is a representation of the Pillars of Hercules, and around iach pillar is a scroll with the inscrip tion 'plus ultra.' This device in course of time has degenerated into the sign which at present stands for American is well as Spanish dollars, The scroll around the pillars represent the two serpents sent by Juno to destroy Hercules in his cradle."

The point selected by this antedi luvian giant when he concluded to j giro up the ghost, along about the' time of the close of the cretaceous or ! tome other geological period, is a rift ' between two mountain peaks, seventy- two miles from San Jose and 3300 feet abovo sea level.
