We.-.therbee, In Boston Transcript A WORLD'S FAIR ROMANCE. HE ticket taker no ticed, as she came througl the gate, that she limped a little. And he noticed, too, that she smiled at him plcaiantlr, which made him conclude quite correctly that she was not Iron the city, and that this was her first da; at the Fair, and that it was a verj great occasion, indeed, for her. He was actually mean enough, was the ticket taker, to keep his foot lingering on the iron release a moment before he let the turnstile swing to admit her, just for tho sake of seeing her look puzzled. The ticket taker might not jave done this if it had been a busier hour of the day. But it was still enrly in the morning. There were few in the Fair grounds yet, and the young woman looked around in some surprise at the almost . empty avenues that stretched down between the buildings. Her limp seemed really painful to the ticket taker as she made her way over to where a group of young theological students stood silently together by their "Gospel chariots," as the irreverent newspaper fellows had dubbed their wheeling chairs. Some of them were raw looking fel lows, and appeared much more fitted for the wheeling of chairs than the ex ercise of oratory in the pulpit or elne where. Somo looked rather weak and inane, as if .they had not positiveness of character to do anything but pray. But there was one among them who was standing straight on his legs, as an athlete naturally does, and there was something in the lines of his firmly closed mouth and the pose of his head that made the young woman go up to him and ask him what the price of his chair and his services were for the day. Not that she had any need to ask, for she had read all about it in the papers, and calculated on it very carefully. But she asked by way of opening the conversation. The student took off his bine cap and answered her slowly, and with an accent of indifference that somehow was not just what Mary Stuart had been expecting. Hei own blood was tingling in her veins. It was almost unbelievable to her that shews really at the Fair at last ihe Fair which had been before her eyee as "a sort of glorified vision for twe years, and for which she had saved and planned and sacrificed. It seemed tc her that everybody must have been working just as she had been to get there, and that it was only natural that their voices should be tingling with enthusiasm. She felt for a moment at if she would have liked to change hei young man and get one who eeemed less criminally indifferent to the glories of the moment, but she was too shy to , do that, and she made her bargain, " and seated herself with some embar rassment in the chair, blushing, as she was rolled away, to feel that the eyes it the young students were on her. She was very light weight so light that the well oiled chair, on its easj bearings, impelled the pusher to walk faster than he intended, and ho had tc use a little resistance to moderate its pace. The little black sailor hat she wore had no trimmings but was swathed in a fleecy black veil, as tho young man noticed on looking downward. The simple black gown hnd neither crinoline nor flounces, as he noticed alsp, but merely wide white cuffs and eohar, and the high tan boots and gauntlet gloves had been selected with careful reference to each other. ODe foot was a little shorter than the other, s was evident even as they rested on the little shelf on the chair. So much the young man casually noticed, and that the body was very slight indeed and had a sort of tension in it as if serves and muscles were on the alert. 'Where do you wish to go?" he tsked perfunctorily, as he had asked on many previous mornings of his "fright." But the answer was not forthcoming. Instead, the young woman wheeled around in her chair and looked up at him with some dis refts on her pale face. "I haven't an idea," she said, haven't been here before. This is my first day. I'll only have five days here. I might have had seven, only it takes a day to come and another to go. I want to see just as much as I can. I've been saving for two years to come here. I'm a typewriter and a stenographer. I can'; walk much at a time, or I'd never have thought of taking a chair. If it hadn't been for taking a chair it wouldn't have been so hard for me to come. But you see how it in. I haven't been to school much. And I thought I could get a good deal of ed ucation here. l'erhaps you cau tell me how. It's very important to me." The morning wind blew her reddish Drown hair about her face a little un der the veil, and made her cheeks look paler than ever. Xathan Ingersoll stopped the chair and looked down Rt her a moment. He had got in the way, during his thirty odd days al ready spent at the Fair, of keeping hie personality well out of sight. At first, to be sure, he had permitted himsell some feeling of personal interest in tho women he wheeled about the grounds, and had ventured on a few occasioni to forget that for the time being he eras a paid servant, and had let hia thoughts speak themselves in their ac customed way. But he had suffered three or four rather severe rebuffs, over which he had good noturedly smiled, saying they were really just what he needed, and that they wer good training. But all the Eame he bad smarted under thorn, aad fur th last two weeks had kept himself well in hand, and been as indifferent to lh.t persons he was pushing around th ground as they were to him. New, however, there seemed to corns into sudden cxisien ca new condition. Evidently this was a case that involved some moral resposibility. And iDger aoll was almost morbid on the subject tLmoxal ressojisbilitr. Jtlf ' The reS-Df own eyes; which matched :he half curling hair so perfectly, were still looking up at him. Ingersoll smiled down at them with an unoon tcious eloquence that eame from his youth and his strength and his mascu linity. "Til do my level best," he said heartily, all of the indifference gone out of his voice, r,and if yon don't see what's best to see in the time you are here, it won t be my fault. "Oh." said Miss Stuart almost Breathlessly, "do you mean it would be possible for me to have you to Uave this chair, I mean every dayr Incrersol) laughed outright this time. She was evidently very muoh confused lest there should seem to be something, personal in this request. "You can have this chair ever lay," he replied, "if you come at early as you do this morning that is, if no one gets me that is, the chair before you do. I think I could manage to keep in the background and not to make any engagement until you came if you think it will help you to see the Fair systematically by having the same ruide every day." "That's exactly what I meant, jaid Miss Stuart, gratefully. "It would be such an economy of time and energy. We would know just where ire left oil; and wouldn't repeat o Ur iel ves." Of course it was a different day from jthers. How could it be otherwise ? 411 the thoughts that had been stirring in Ingersoll s mina insisted now in breaking out of their shells and try ing their wings now that he had listener. 'It's the apex of the century," he ;ried enthusiastically. "This mass of finished material, this marvelous architecture, this meeting of the Nations and the handicraft of the Nations, this putting together of all sorts of energies 1" It sounded a little sophorino to be iure. ile looKea down a little shyly to see if Miss Stuart were laughing ; he knew her name by this time. But, so far from laughing, she had quite a rapt expression, as if she were concen trating all of her thoughts on the hour indthe snrroundmgs. It got so after time that she venturdd bits of con fidence. "I've been in the same office threi rears," she said once, "and the man there has never said a word to me dur ing all that time except to dictate let ters. He doesn t even say good morn ing when he comes in or good night when I leave. I haven't missed a day in that whole time, and have hardly nade a mistake in my work. He payi my salary, but he doesn't show an other mark of appreciation. " "The clam! ejaculated Ingersoll, hich was, perhaps, a little thought less of a divinity student. One Christmas, went on Misl ituart, feasting her eyes in rapture on i case of German opals, "I thought I arould see if I couldn't cure him of his rrnmpinesa. I bought him a bunch of oses and put them on his desk. W hen le came he never even noticed them, ind the next morning they were ;hrown out, though they couldn't pos- ublv have been faded. "Snch a man onght to " began In gersoll, in a wrath that oould hardly be ailed righteous, when suddenly Mist stuart cried out that there was an opal with a red light in it, and they went ;loser to look at it. She liked womanly ;hmgs. she almost trembled at the tplendor of some of the jewels ; she lever wearied of the china and the narvelous tints of the glassware ; she jointed out beauties in the laces and embroideries that Ingersoll could not possibly discover ; and she went into he most outspoken raptures over the Felix gowns. "You're not one of those very im jroved women who disapprove of fern nine tilings, are you?" aaid Ingersoll. "Oh, well," she said rather sadly, 'perhaps those improved women have lad all of these fine things. Shall I :ell you the truth? I never even saw t great many things of this sort be "ore. I think I'd juist as soon wear ;hem for awhile as not Then I eould renounce them after awhile, and be ust as superior as the other women. " "It's a great year for women," said "ngt rsoll, with just as much original ly of manner as if there were some ;hing new in the remark. "Yes," 6aid Miss Stuart, indiffer ently, "but I know so few women. In 'act I know hardly any. I'm so busy. Vnd there's only the women at the hoarding house. And they don't care nuch for me on account of my doinf .ynowriting. Not that I mind." "Of course not," said Ingersoll witr xmviction. By the end of the first day they had lone a good part of the Liberal Artr 3uilding. "It would take a week to do it prop rly," Ingersoll explained, 'but we'r adapting ourselves to circumstances, ion't you see." "I m so much obliged to you, cnea Miss Stuart. "I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't met you or some one like you." So ended the first day. The next morning was dull and cold. Beyond the peristyle the gray waves dashed sullenly. The sky was like a pall. But at the hour of 8 Mary Stuart limped in the gate, wrapped in a mackintosh and carrying an um brella. Nathan Ingersoll stepped out of the group of young men and helped her to her seat. She spoke to him a little coldly. Nathan was not a young man of much experience. He thought maybe he had been too familiar. He resolved not to speak till she gave him permission. She was determined not to make a spectacle of herself again that is what she told herself in the night she had been doing. They went to the picture gallery. He got her catalogue for her, and took one from his own pocket. They looked at the pictures silently. When she motioned to move on he obeyed her. How was it that little by little the silence which had begun in sullenness began to be a delight? A fuller sense of color and form seemed to break apoii her. She wondered if the lone liness and dissatisfaction she had al ways felt had been because her life had had so little beautiful in it. Every moment she seemed to understand these pictures better. She began to notice how marvelous was color 1 How full of wonderful gradations I Were shadows like that? Were they ever so purple? Was light on plains and deserts white as those pictures showed them to be? Were women so beauti ful? Was love so poetical that paint ers painted it always, and with sue h passion? How fast life seemed to be infolding 1 Her startled mind showed her sud lenly the interior of the office where the had sat for three long years, and he felt again the silence not a si lence such as Corot had painted, which might at any moment be broken by the wind of dawn rushing up through the meadows, but the silenoe imposed upon slaves !

She wanted to maki rare he wa following her thoughts He looked back at her without smiling but with perfect comprehension. Anc f,nm lAmAvhiTA there eame a wave ol warmth, delicate and touched with wntient joy, and passed oyer her body, and seemed, someway, to bring with it perfume and a song, and all the pic tures swam for a moment in a goldez haze fairer than that any of the artistt lad put on their mountain tops. Youth is an alchemist. He will maki ;old for one any moment, if he if nly given the right materials To follow the" evolution of a soul who can do that? One day came when these two poo ?le were saying always: "It is the last day." Anyone who could have heard these anspoken words and the sorrow ol them would have "supposed that on the morrow creation would be destroyed. That day whatever they said was flip pant. They did nothing but jest. "Has anyone ever been over then to the south end of the grounds, Mary asked. Ingersoll shook his heac ioubtmgly. "I hear they are thinking of send ing lor (Stanley, ne saia. "iney want to know if he wouldn't be willing to penetrate them. They got endless amusement fron the people. Mary could tell whenever he met any one who was on his "first lay." They did the Midway Plais ance that day. The four ends of the earth seemed to have been swept to gether and dumped here. It was won derful. It swept down little patriotic distinctions and all narrow thoughts ol locality. These men from the Soudan, these mighty women from Dahomey, these dancers from Asia Minor, these tallow men from the spice-perfumed isle of Java, these Eskimo women who held their b-.bies close in their arms, these dreamy eyed Bedouin, these languid Turks were they not all the ame? To live, to love, to laugh, tc hope, to weep, to aie what difference? Tis the same from Martinique to Madagascar! Someway, Mary had never thought of that before. The vorld was getting very large to hex And it was the last day I That night she stayed on the grounds instead of leaving at 6 o'clock, as she had previously done. She wanted tc tee the great basin lit by electricity. Ingersoll invited her to supper, and they ate together in the Polish restau rant, though since they had an Irish stew, they might as well have eaten anywhere else. But they didn't much notice what they ate. The light was not yet quite out o ihe sky, when 100,000 persons stood together in silence around the still lagoon that runs from the Administra tion Building, waiting waiting for a thing so much a part and parcel ol this century that never can the one be spoken of in ages to come and be dis associated from the other. The sky was a cold blue. Against it the ex quisite building with dome, and slop ing lines, and statue and tower, out lined themselves clearly and delicately. Beyond the peristyle the blue lake gleamed, and in the east there hnng a star. The great white mountain poured fta musical streams of water down the gleaming steps. The gondolas drifted back and forth noiselessly on the '.agoon. Schubert's "Serenade, ol Ul thing in the world, came softly lown through the space, throbbing rith passion. Suddenly there was a transforma iion. From white dome and peristyle, from colonnade and water's edge, frorr pillar and freize, gleamed out in on startling second innumerable pomu f fire, bright as gold, pieroing in their ntensity. It was the climax ! This was th oest the century had done. Thii magic thing, born in the clouds, har nessed, tamed, trained, subjugated, made man's best messenger, his il luminator, his intelligencer, his notive power electricity the ma terial triumph of the age ! Whiter than ever looked the build mgs, colder and bluer than ever th arching sky. And like a million neai familiar stars gleamed the incandescent lights, and from the heart of th lagoon poured the waters, lit with fix nd tinted like the rainbow. If it had been any other time it might not have meant so ranch to th two people who stood there among the throng in silence watching it. But as it was well, as it was, the beauty and the throbbing serenade, and the mar vel of it all, and the subtle, thrilling magnetism of the great crowd brought about an emotion no more to be restrained than the falling of the green waters over the Niagara. Inger soll stood beside the ohair and dropped a hand on that of Mary. She did not look up. She had known h was going to do it. How long could you be patient, he said, softly, "a year?" "A thousand years. It was hard that there should have oeen a nnnarea inousana persona present. Though, come to think of it, one spectator would have been just a bad. "I won't mind the old curmudgeon, she said. She meant the man shf rorked for. I'll write every dav," he said. Ht instinotly offered a compensation. The people on the great porches oi the Administration Building were shouting their applause of the scene below. The torches flamed around them and made them look like brown ies, as they threw up their arms and waved their hats. Ingersoll ana Mary watched them, with their hands claspel light "It'll take me a year to finish col lege," he said. "You know what 1 told von about my prospects. I think I m a very fortunate ieiiow. He wasn t, in comparison with a good nany men. But it's all in the point of view. Good fortune is merely a matte of opinion. Later on he wheelea toe cnair toward ihe gates. The crowd poured along toward the Illinois Central train. In gersoll said some wonderful things then. Mary wondered how mere words could seem so beautiful. Ha felt him self thrilled by his eloquence. - It gave him courage to think he might be a great man when he got in the pulpit. What he was really saying was: "1 love you." When the sky is blu enough and the summer wind blows, and the night is present these) wordt may come to seem like the lyric of thr greatest poet. "I suppose you found the Fair verj educational?" said Mrs. Van Doosen, wife of the local jeweler, at the dinnei table, when Mary had got back to the boarding house. Mary's red brown eyes swam suddenly with a sort of mist "Yes, I did," she said softly. She waited for Mary to say some thing more. But Mary had nothing more to say. "What a stupid liiila thing," thought ihe jeweler's wife. "What good doe it do people of that sort to go to the Fair?" Ella W. Feattie, in World-Herald.

The moose has an intensely acut jnse of hearing and smelling, and as, if course, despite all his caution, when mnting before the snow has come, the mnter, although moccasin -clad, must ireak sticks sometimes, he finds f re cently, after working his way on thf rail through one of these horrible voods, that on reaching the other side he quarry has started off across a milt f open prairie to seek the shelter ol i similar cover on the other side.

Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by "Golden Med ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease ? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the nest and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis representing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery," but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time.

Ksoira from Its soar to the Sam. The second in yolame of tho grea' rivers of the world Is known at last from its main source to the sea, says the New York Sun. Seventeen years KO Mr. Stanley paddled down the Congo for 1,200 miles and hauled his boats around 300 miles of rapids. Since that time no part of the world has been the field of so many explorations. We are now indebted to Mr. Mohun, our sonsul on the Congo, for filling up the last gap in the preliminary survey of the main river. About two years ago Alexander Del ;ommune followed the Lukuga Eiver to the Congo. This river was long a puzzle. Geographers were divided in jpinion as to whether it was the outlet jf Lake Tanganyika. It was twenty fears after the lake was discovered be fore exrjlanation had conclusively es tablished the fact that its waters flowed westward through the Lukuga, in tracing this river to the Congo Delcom mune did what many an explorer has been compelled to do: He applied the ponge to the map of Africa, besides sdding details to it. The Arabs had jaidthat the Lukuga and the Congo mingled their waters in a large lake aamed Landji. The Belgian explorer proved that this was not so, and Lake Landji is now disappearing from its familiar place on the African maps. No traveler had ever traced the Con ;o between its junction with the Lu kuga and Tippu Tib's old town of Kas longo, which several explorers have made well known. This is what Mr. Jttohun has done. He has added about sighty- five miles of surveys to the maps. His discoveries are purely of geographical interest, for this stretch if river adds nothing to the Congo's importance as a commercial highway. In no other part of the Congo's course tiavs rapids and cataracts been found so numerous and crowded so closely to gether. Awhile ago we could not have saia AiatMr. Mohun's journey completed the preliminary survey of the Congo, because it was not then known whether the Luapula or the Lualabia branch of the upper Congo was the better (entitled to be known as the main river. Del :ommune's investigation showed, how ever, that at the point where these rivers meet the Luapula supplies much the larger quantity of water. The Lu ilaba, not yet completely known, is therefore the tributary, and the little river Chambesi, which rises near the northern end of Lake Xj-assa, and after passing through Iike Bangweolo be ;oiues the Luapuala, is entitled to fame is the head stream of the mightiest -i-ir in Africa.

Old Visiting Cards. fo0 fiftr yi-s nrn, whin a house A lleau bUeet, Soho, was being re paired, on removing a marble chimney piece in the front drawing room, four ar five "visiting" cards were found, ne with the name of Isaac Newton on t. The names were all written on the backs of common playing cards. The louse in Dean street was the resi- lence of Hogarth or his father-in-law. In "Marriage a la Mode," (Plate 4.) iis celebrated picture by Hogarth sup plies an additional proof of play ing cards having done duty as visiting cards and cards of invitations luring the middle of the last century. There are several lying on the floor in the righthand corner of the picture. One is inscribed: 'Count Bassett beers to no how Lade Squader slept last Qite." Soon after this period some par ticularly ingenious individual hit upon the idea or. supplying iantastically-3and-written cards to the "nobility and jentry," and very elaborate and gor geous specimens of stationery and cali graphy these same cards were. Then the inevitable evolution set in, ind cards soon developed into respect able specimens of the engraver's art, ind, though various changes took place in the shapes and sizes, eventually the sensible cards, as used at the present lay, soon took a hold on tho public, and the neatest and plainest have re mained the fashion. But the fantastic and absurb reigned for some considera abla time, and stationers vied with each other as to who could produce the most elaborate. The present writer has seen some of the earlier cards quite ten inches long by six inches broad, with lace bordering. Notes and Quer- es. Calling tiia Turn.
