Ton need not be trying to comfort me, I tell 70a my dolly is dead; There's no use saying she isn't, with a crack like that in her head. It's just like yon said it wouldn't hurt much to have my tooth out that day, and then when the man 'most pulled my head off you hadn't a word to say I When my mamma gave me that ribbon I was playing out in the yard She said to me most expressly, "Here' a ribbon for Uildegarde," And I went and put it on Tabby and Hil- degarde saw me do it. A.nd I said to myself, "Oh, never mind, I don't believe she knew it." Bat I know that she knew It now, and I just believe, I do, That her poor little heart was broken, and so her head broke, too. Oh, my dolly! my little babyl I wish my head had been hit. For I've hit It over and over and It hasn't cracked a bitl But, since the darling is dead, she'll want to be buried, of course; We will take my little wagon, nurse, and you shall be the horse. And I'll walk behind ami cry, and we'll put her in this, you see. This dear little box, and we'll bury her then under the maple tree. And pnpa will make her a tombstone like the one he made for my bird. And he'll put what I tell him on it yes, every single word! I shall say, "Here lies Hildegarde, a beau tiful doll, who is dead; She died of a broken heart and a dreadful crack in her head." Home Queen. WRATH OF A VICOMTE THE coves that Indent the Geor gia coast, the picturesque islands that fringe the mainland, the primeval settlements scattered among the marshes have been the scene of many thrilling but unrecorded liappen iu its. The traditions of the coast people are dear to them, handed, in fact and fancy unaltered, to successive generations and preserving nil the Quaint originality of expression and simplicity of style. Here Is a story of the coast a ro mance of two continents: Sapelo Island, in the early history of the state, passed into the possession of the French and by some claim became the property of Vlcomte de Boufeuillet, the distinguished ancestor of distin pul.shed descendants now living, and the Chevalier du Blgnon, the original of that illustrious Georgia family. False reports of this new country had led these two Frenchmen to think that the Island abounded in illimitable resources. To them this chip of the Georgia coast was a kind of El Dorado with greater promise of riches than Do Soto or his deluded followers ever dreamed of. In the gay world of Paris they were pointed out as the noblemen upon whom fortune had smiled, and when the Chevalier du Blgnon rode by people would stare and talk about his wonderful wealth, for his bearing was haughty and the pride of his behavior great. As to the old Vlcomte, when luck was 111 and made htm loser In bis game, there came a dark scowl on his grim vl?age, but at a thought this would clear quickly away and an expression of serene satisfaction would follow. "Sacre dleu! What care I that I lose! On with the game! Have I not riches uncovered In my new found land? What aTe a few francs to me, a favor ite of fate? On with the game! The loss Is a mere trifle!" and the Vlcomte de Boufeuillet would smite his thigh and laugh fear away. So the old man placed much value on this distant territory, and he had high hopes for what would come from this land beyond the seas. There was nothing dearer than this land to bim, unless it was his daughter, of whom it was said there was none more beau tiful in the land of the fleur-de-lis. Stately of mien and comely of person, and more graceful than the deer that hid In the dark foliage of her father's forest, all the gallant youths of thej land came to do homage and kneel at the shrine of "La Belle Marie." But the fair maid had no favorite among these suitors, and in defiance of the fervent protestations of her fero cious father that she should give her hand to some lord of high degree,, laughed scornfully if an adorer of this titled nobility should strike hla heart, swearing to love and protect her. Men said she was a soulless beauty, that her reckless nature was Impervious to all fine feeling and soft sentiment But men did not know, neither did the Vlcomte de Boufeuillet She bad a secret, this daughter of France. "What If he should know? What If her father should discover that she had given her love to her cousin Louis; that she had plighted her troth to him years ngo when an orphan lad he had come from his home In the hills to live with the Vicomte. Would not her father storm and rage like a Hon should he know the truth? Perhaps he might be glad In lior happiness. Who knew? Purely Louis was a man of fine ap pparancc and there was no braver in all France. Ilnd he not pierced a count's son to the heart with a hand that could not bide Insult? There was no knight courtlier than he. Rather than offend a lady he woula give his life blood. Surely to love such a man was no dishonor." And thus did the girl ponder, and sometimes she menaced to bid bold de fiance and divulge all to the old Vi comte, but her cousin was timorous and cautioned it were best to wait un til be could make his merit known and then a time would come when, by dint of glorious achievements, he could come to claim his own with usury. The days sped by and the old Vlcomt bad given himself up to the game. The turmoil of the ball was great one Routea dellbeiuiiuii alia tvere uJiauig lere and there in blind confusion. The lousemalds shuddered and wept hys rlcally. There was gloom about the treat hall. The heavy voice of the VI omte echoed down the corridors, for ;ls wrath was surging and his unbri ded fury swept everything before it He had lost lost heavily. In the ixcltement of the play he bad risked a fortune. It was gone off like chaff. In his passion at the sudden change of thance he had Insulted bis companions ind rushed from the door like a wild nan. On his ride borne he bad pum neled the pate of his coachman and whipped his horses until they were locked with foam. For days he remained in bla bed ihamber alone and no one dared ap proach him. Gradually has wrath sub ilded. With returning reason came a mrpose. It happened that he called for his tlnsman, Louis, who hesitated at first, for he well knew the intense temper f the Vlcomte. The mood of his kins man, however, had changed. He was almost Joyful when he met the young man and began to talk of the Georgia Island, where were treasures and re teurcM In abundance. It was now Qms far thia pasesslp o jjald oj its f riches. -' It was to Louis that he woula luu uai we nuu. tie wouia go xo we Georgia coast, take control of the lands ' there and aend back wealth and plenty. ' It was a mission upon which the VI-; comte bad long been bent but it was Impossible for him at that crisis to ' leave France, and his young kinsman must go for him. It was an opportuni ty, too, for this young man to obtain the riches he bad long desired, for this new country would bloom and open up Its untold bounty to bim. Offered as a suggestion, this purpose came as a decision, for what this man proposed was always construed as a law immutable and unwavering. I Heavy and sad was the heart of the daughter when this inexorable decree reached her sympathetic ear. In the frenzy of ber grief she waa for telling her father all, but the restraining hand of Louis eld her back, and he said it would be best to wait until be met luccess In the far-away country. The young man left, and it was a grievous day for the daughter of the j Vlcomte. I It was a sad spectacle that met his ' eyes on this side of the waters. Sapelo i was a tangled waste of wild woor, a wilderness of dark, impenetrable for ests, where druld oaks bung heavy with gray moss and the palmetto sprang up in rank profusion. Places had been cleared out here and there by j experimental redskins. In a cottage on the lower end of the island, occu pied by the keeper of the place, the for eigner took shelter. Dazed at first with t disappointment and the gloomy pros pect be was on the point of returning to his native land, but a few days' stay accomplished a wonderful change. The J wild life of the country began to at tract the young Frenchman. In his I own country bis haughty spirit bad been hampered. Conscious there of his 1 poverty and forced to depend upon the I charity of bis irascible kinsman, to whose unreasonable dictates be was bound to submit under the Influence of this uncivilized spot his nature ex- ! panded and the feeling of" a new free dom awakened bis patriotism. "Love Is strong," he would say, "but liberty Is dearer." So here the Frenchman made his abode. He lived a wild, reckless, al most savage existence, and of tho pass- ' ing of the days took no account save : that they brought him a greater sup ' ply of game, for his love of the chase was great Nor did he take into account the warmly worded letters coming at dis tant intervals from the old Vlcomte de Boufeuillet At first the old man ad dressed himself affectionately, telling ' him to make great haste to bring back ! the money, that his coffers might again be filled and his shattered fortunes strengthened. "The old fool, he little wots of his error," said the young man. "But I shall not Inform him better. His grace will soon be as dead as a pig, and I will come Into his possessions and his daughter." More vehement and frequent came die letters of the Vlcomte de Boufeuil let His rage bristled forth, but it did not affect the complacent recklessness of his kinsman. The young man gave little heed not even when word came one day that the Vlcomte himself had set sail for Savannah, and Louis laugh ed right heartily at the thought of the old man appearing in that vast wilder ness. But, laugh as he might, there came at times a serious presentiment to sadden his spirits. It was not that he knew of the consternation In the hall of the old Vlcomte not that he had heard how his grace had belligerently defied the supplications of his fair daughter and had sworn to cross the waters, where he would find for himself the riches he sought so eagerly; it was not that he had seen the ship set sail bear lug the old man and his retinue it was not that he knew all this, but there were times when the wonted levity of young Louis relaxed and he grew grave and contemplative. Grave was he that winter's morn ing as he stood on the bold sea bluff and watched the ceaseless breaking of the billows, and graver still when through the thickness of the fog ap peared the outline of a vessel. The Vlcomte de Boufeuillet was there. His coming was like the sud den bursting of a simoon, and the fury of the storm was not greater than his wrath. The thunder of his voice rose above the sounding of the 6urf. "It Is one of his bad moods. The old man Is crazed, but this wlldness will soon pass away," thought the young Louis. But he reckoned not of the violence of the old man's passion, nor did be know that bitter disappointment grief and rage had for the nonce unbalanced him In mind. Therefore was he amazed when the Vicomte flashed bis sword above his bead and called upon him to draw hlf own blade quickly or die. Louis would have walked away, nor would he have shown his steel except for defense, but the Vlcomte was rush ing upon him. "Draw, dog, for by my bead thou shalt die for what thou hast cost me!" So saying, the Vlcomte made a furi ous lunge, but Louis parried well and could have thrust back his own blade In a vital spot but would not His carelessness cost bim dear. The old 'Frenchman had recovered bla guard, j and like a flash had plunged bla blade to the hilt deep into the Bide of bis young kinsman, who fell there on the sand and died. Sudden remorse seized the Vicomte. The horror of his deed brought back his scattered senses. Gladly would he have lifted the head of the dying man and called him back to life, and he grieved to think there was no recall. He hastened to Savannah with the purpose of returning Immediately to France, but at that town bla going was Intercepted by officers of the law, who took him into their custody. Great was the Indignation at what was thought to be a murder without cause, and In spite of his high station It seemed that the life of the Vlcomte de Boufeuillet was in peril, for then the English law was enforced with unswevering severl ty in Georgia. And "La Belle Marie" she. too, bad made a pilgrimage. Of the killing she had heard, and sailed at once to theifter nrd labor with the following Georgia coast to grieve alone and shed her tears in solitude where the body of the brave Louis lay burled in its sepul cber by the sea. The Vlcomte de Boufeuillet waa r prisoner of the State. He waa In the fast clutches of the law, and to plead bis cause before the magistrate he em ployed John Clay, whose descendant itlll reside in the same city. When the question of fees came up the old Frenchman was prepared. "I have no silver or gold," he said. "All my possessions are In lands far away from here, but I am rich in the' possession of a daughter, the most beautiful of her sex, and should I be, ' . A j ,. 1 acquitted, sne snau oe yours u weu. .

She took the veil and found solace In a French clolster. Cblcago Chronicle. ROSES FOR THE SICK. Their Distribution Doe MoT Good Than Medicine, If the ladles who have their garden full of roses would clip a dozen and take them to the hospitals they would be so impressed that as long as the bushes are laden with this rich gift of beauty they would share with these unfortunates, says the Memphis Com merclal- Appeal. A reporter witnessed the dlstrlbu don of some roses recently through the wards of the city hospital. Tho lady had a great double handful of common garden roses. The first patient she came to was a boy, possibly 14 years ld. "Would you like some of my roses? she asked. "Oh, thank you, yes," the child ex claimed. "Thank you," he said again as thi roses were placed In his hands. "1 have wanted some roses for such a long time," and burled his face in the little cluster. From bed to bed the flower messen gcr went and on every band came a oulful "Thank you." One poor old man was evidently dy ,ng. He was a mere skeleton, and the bones had worn sore place thro-igh llie skin. The flowers were laid beside plm on the stand, where he could sec I hem should he ever wake to earthly islon. "If the old man sees them roses the Kill be about the last he'll ever see," remarked a fellow-sufferer. Another very sick one said. Jus; above a whisper: "Flease won't jou come again right soon?" Negroes and whites showed equal appreciation. One of the blacks wa asleep and the flowers were placed on his pillow near his face. "Kee-ee," chuckled one of the con valescent patients. "When be wake up he think he's In heben, sho." The women were no more apprecia tive than the men. All wero full of gratitude. "Oh, they are so sweet It has beet so long since I saw a rose," were fre quent expressions. Every rose bush in town is laden With blooms, and while they last such pleasure and such joy could be given these unfortunatet If the flowers could only be clipped and sent or taken to these afflicted Veople. Surprise All Around. There was grief In a South Sift household one day when a careless ser vant allowed a valuable piece of stat uary to fall and break In a dozen pieces The girl had a good cry and offered to pay for the marble, but this was ou' f the question. The man servant who was also coach man and landscape gardener, was In structed to take the fragments of th art treasure and dispose of them. II happened that he knew a thing or two. Instead of dumping the pieces into an ish barrel he took them to a repair shop, where they were carefully glued together by an expert workman. Wher the Job was completed the servant tool the marble to a dealer In antiquities anc objects of art explained how he cam Into possession of it and received an equivalent of two weeks' pay above th cost of repairs. Some weeks later the original owne. tame upon the marble In the show win dow. He could hardly believe his senses, ah he bad bought his marble as an original and here was another original. He went Into the shop and priced th Sgure. "That's very cheap," he remarked. "I must explain to you," said th. dealer, "that It has beenMiroken and repaired." He pointed out the faint lines show Ing where the pieces had been Joined, and then the former owner recognized his property. He couldn't claim it, as he had once ordered it thrown away. Neither could he accuse the servant of theft He bought the marble and took I. home with him, and the man servant nearly fainted when he saw It In its old place on the mantel. Chicago Rec ord.

Borne friends, who own a little place In Cherry Valley, were going away for a visit, and they proposed thrt the young New York couple should lock up their flat, bring their servant with them and enjoy the snap of an early winter uonth in the country. They went They know more now than they dlf ben. The owners of the farm stayed for a lay and showed them about, and the iepartlng host showed his successor a rery tricky way of killing a turkey. Instead of chopping Its head off, or wringing It In the old fashioned way, le took it by the feet and snapped its lead lightly against a stone, as though t had been a whip. The spinal column ,vas neatly broken without any of the itruggles and agonies usually attendan' ipon the death of a fowl. The farmer forgot and locked up all sis chickens, taking the key with him.

Two Hun. dred Tears AgoCurious Effects, The iEollan harp is a musical in strument which Is set In action by the wind. It is not very well known, but is very curious, and is supposed to have been invented by Father Kircher, the Jesuit savant, who lived in the seventeenth century, and In vented many Ingenious machines. But the fact of the spontaneous re sonance of certain musical instru ments when exposed to a currrent of air had struck the observers of nature in times of remotest antiquity. One of the Valmuds says that the harp of David sounded when the north wind blew on it, and it has been sug gested that he had an .-Kolian, as we understand it The sounding of this harp by a gust of wind would, accord ing to the London yueeti, be nothing extraordinary If it stood near his north window, which was probably open for air and chosen for coolness and shade in the climate of Judea. Kircher's harp had fifteen strings of cat-gut, and the force of the wind was deflected to it by various shutters or screens. In later times this was im proved upon by Messrs Frost and Kastncr, but was similar to the pre ceding form in principle and con struction. The A;olian harps in the old castle of Baden Baden, and those in the four turrets of Strasburg cathe dral, are celebrated. These are all made of strings stretched over a sounding-box and require tuning to keep them in harmony. They are also large and cumbrous, and have a limited number of strings, which makes the music more or less monot onous, and they are dependent on the wind from one direction only. The changes of temperature and damp ness of the atmosphere make them constantly out of tunc, and, indeed, often cause the strings to break. These difficulties and drawbacks have hitherto prevented the A'olian harp from becoming so well known and popular as such an interesting and curious instrument deserves to be, but the latest devcloDeruent of this harp, named the A'olia, invented in 1W1, byG. Crosland Taylor, F. K. G. &, Helsby, near Warrington, is a step in the right direction. Tho music is produced by sensitive metal-! lie reeds instead of strings, so that itj never requires tuning, and as there are eighty separate notes there is great variety ot sound. It is intended to bang on the bough of a tree (and may be left therewith out damage from the weather); it turns round before the wind, and is therefore exposed to every point oi the compass, and the music passes into an organ pipe, by which it is greatly enriched and improved. Thei principle of an .iolian harp may be familiarly shown on a large scale by the action of telegraph wires stretched from one pole to another. On a windy 4 day these will be found to emit musical tones, rising and falling in proportion to the strength of the wind and tension of tbe wires. Hector Berlioz, in his "Voyage aiusicale en Italie," has given the following curious effects that an .o lian harp had produced upon his lively and impassioned imagination: "On one of those gloomy days that sadden the end of the year listen, while reading Ossian to the fantastic harmony of an A'ollan harp swinging at the top of a tree deprived of ver dure, and I defy you not to experi ence a profound feeling of sadness and of abandon, and a vague and infinite desire for another existence." Chateaubriand, in "Les Natchez," compares its sounds to the "magic concerts that the celestial vaults re sound." Besides inspiring writers of both prose and poetry, the iEolian harp possesses remarkable properties which act upon the nervous system and cause very different impressions, according to tbe temperament of those who listen to its accords. An English physician, Dr. Z. M. Cox, asserts that lunatics have sometimes been Instantly calmed by the sweeb and varied music of an yEoIlan harp. Other observers declare that -cLolian sounds will produce sleep. For Cash. "I propose to sell my 'life dearly, exclaimed tbe attacked stranger.
