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. Al
the r.fternoo:i ha had been fighting
ver a'-am ia ins heart the same out
battlo biteen tha right and the
wromr of it ; and now, tired out bv
the rush?. ho had come down froiij
his little uper room into the tailor
shop on tho ground floor, end was
standing looting out through the glasj
door at tho passing throngs on tha'
av-nu".

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

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. To escape 1
recognition was out of tho question,

room, where the table was spread fox

"Sit down," she said, and she drew

As the young man looked at her in
...... . . . . .
(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. It was foi
her, it told him, that he had adopted
the church as his calling. 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. It breathed encouragement. Il
bade him look nt.
He raised his eves heavenward.
Across the river, above the roofs and
chimneys and spires of the sleeping
city was a faint but ever-increasinfl

Origin of the Dollar Xark.
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."
A Monster Petrified Whale.
i awu uu iwu, a xxenenman at
tached to the surveying corps con-
ectea witn tne National Museum, San
ose, Costa Kica, reports a find nt
qual or greater value than the Mon-
ezuma (CoL), fossilized montr !
eo'e find is not a "Dinosaur" or oth
nlf mythical creature which the lansa
bf ages has transformed into stone, '
put a common everyday whale, 218
!'eet in length, with bones mineralized
tntil they are as hard as jasper and aa
heavy as load. The "Museo" officials
aro in a quandorr, and are debating
as to which would fao the cheapest, to
move their museum buildings over onto
the mountain range where the petri
fied monster lies, or to try to transfer
bis flinty remains to the Costa Rican
capital.
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
