The old high hall I ft of Krohn pushed iwny the pretty little hand that bis eldest daughter sought to place over his mouth. "No," he aald, "I will not keep quiet. I repeat that the whole custom of send ing New Year's cards Is a d n bad one, aud it is time to put an end to It. What are the results of such nonsense? "First, I get my mall bag later than usual, and, secondly, it Is crammed so full with the stupid stuff that I can hardly get It open!" At length the old gentleman's efforts were rewarded, the bag sprang open, and he emptied Its contents with Im patience on the breakfast table. " ToFrnuleln Katbarina von Krohn,' he read. "My God! are they ail for you, Katlilnka?" "Don't be so unbearable, papa, and please dnn't call me Katlilnka." Tiie old gentleman replied to his daughter's reijuest with an unintelligi ble growl and went on drinking his cof fee. "Just look what n lot there are for me!" erieil Knrhnrina, piling the letters upon the table in front of her and her face lighting up with pleasure. "Are they all for you?" "Yes. nil. Now you can see what It is to Ih- ki.ovvn as a beauty." "And an heiretts," added the father. "Yes. and tin heirebj, she repeated, thoughtfully. "But Is there nothing there for my lit tle I.iH?" asked her father. Katbarina thruggcd her shapely shoulders impatiently. "Why, of course not. If a girl ex pects to be shown much attention she must be a little more pushing aud im portant." "And r,n heiress, too," was the fath er's iar-oiile addition to the sentence.

A world of love shone In his eyes ns he looked at her with pleasure and stroked her soft cheeks. "Never mind, I.ili," he said, slowly, "I am glad that you don't get such a pile of letters. I'm grateful, too, that you're not an heiress. Perhaps then no one will take you away from me." Tears enme Into the girl's eyes, for, though she said uo word, yet the thought that no one had remembered her or cared enough for her to send her a New Year's card made her sad. Rut she forced herself not to cry aud tried to conceal the few tears that would not lie kept back by kissing her father igalu lovingly cm the eyes aud lips. The high bailiff of Krohn, the father of these two girls, had married twice. His lirst wife, n lovely, proud, but vain, woman, died soon after the birth of ft. little (laughter, am! left her the whole of a large fortune.

EhV" Katbarina grew a shade paler at these words. "I certainly expected a card from Baron Horn," she replied, trying to con ceal her annoyance. "Ho surely has sent me one! Are you sure you emp tied the mail bag thoroughly?" "Yes. I think so. But you ha. bet t el look yourself; It would not be the first time that a letter has ruinalned stuck in one of tne corners." "An I I thought so," exclaimed Katb arina, pulling a crumpled letter out of deep corner of the baa;. 8Kb glanced quickly and sharply at the address, and then with an exclama tion of vexation let the letter hurriedly drop. "Not from Baron Horn, after all?" asked her father, picking It up. "and yet that Is his writing. Heavens I why. It Is for you, Lili; If s addressed to you." "Oh I impossible!" said Llli. quietly, while a faint blush rose to her pretty cheeks. "It must be a mistake." "Ky no means," returned her father, smiling. "Here, open It. Let us all see It. Oh, what a lovely card! Why, Kntharlna, where are you going?" But the father received no answer. Katbarina hurrietMy gathered up her letters and left the room In a whirl wind. a The above-mentioned Baron Horn was a young nobleman who had Just re turned from Africa. It was well known that he took great pleasure In visiting the Von Krohn family, and under all manner of pretexts took every oppor tunity to he with them. Of course ev ery one thought that the attraction was the rich and beautiful Katharlca. and she herself took particular pains to spread this view of the matter. Accustomed as she was to a largt number of enthusiastic admirers, she had never for a moment imagined that the baron could Interest himself in her quiet little sister until she was remind ed to-day In a rather unpleasant man ner of the possibility of such a thing. She read her letters through and be came Iietter humored. "How stupid of me to get so cross, she sal. I, as she smiled at her lovely face In the glass. "It is not possible that he favors Llli when he knows me." There came a gentle knock at the door, and the servant girl came in and announced that the carriage was at lie door. Kiitliiiriiin at once rcniemtered that r.-ii'ou Horn had promised to go for a drive with her. and with this thought her face grew bright once again. A charitable bazaar was to be open ed in a neighboring town, nnd. as the father was not able to go, Haron Horn had offered his escort to the two young ladies. The baron was as punctual as most lovers that is to say, be came half an hour Ik fore the time, and found Kath arina quite ready, to his great astonish' mt lit. for as a rule she kept everybody waiting half an hour, at least. Her -purpose of frustrating a tete-a-tete between Llli and the baron was completely iniccesSsful, for she did not move from his side until they all three were ready to get Into the carriage. The father stood with beaming fact on the doorstep and waved a fond fare well after them. "This Horn is a very sensible fellow," he thought to himself, "nnd I admire bin .. ice. It will be very hard to lone Lili, but I would let him have her rath er than cny one else." Although the bazaar was crowded the ui rival of Haron Horn nnd his two lovely comi'iinloiis caused considerable excitement, nnd they were speedily sur rounded by neijiiaiiitaiiees. Aiming these was a f'apt. Llnke. a tall. I. Ion. 1.' fellow, and one of Kutli u ri mi's must sineere nnd faithful ad mirers. "How glad I am to see you here," he aid. "Really? Why?" "May I show you why? l'lense come with me. At the other end of the hall there Is a fortune teller, and I want you to seewhat she will tell you." "May we Join you'r" asked the baron. "Certainly. Come, we will all go to gether." The niysturlous room that held the fortune teller was reached. The for tune teller proved to he a little figure in the middle of a disc. Hound the disc were figures and numbers aiuL slips of paper arranged. Anyone who wanted to see Into the fu ture paid a mark, set the fijrure revolv ing, and took the slip of paper opposite which it stopped. "Now, my genaediges fraulein," said thecapta.n, taking out his rurse, "won't you try your luck?". But Katbarina refused positively to he a party to such nonsense, and. Inas much as Liii could not be persuaded either, the baron asked permission to Inquire of the oracle himself. He set the figure in motion and took the slip of paper opposite which It stop ped. "Seek her band and buy the ring. Thy life will then be full of Joy," ran the words on It. The ban.n tried to catch a glance, from Lili, but she appeared to be ab sorbed In the nature and character of the floor and would not raise her eyes. "Potz Blitz!" cried the captain, turn ing to Katbarina, "that is famous; you really must be persuaded to try It now. Or, shall I do It for you?" "You may do it for me," she replied In such sharp tones that everyone look ed at-ber. The captain turned the the figure and read the words: "Hast thou not offer MfisliBjnjaBBM heard It said" lie hesitated: -41 tore the paper up and threw It on th floor.

From the German. A Polite Haider. A correspondent of tbe London Times has discovered, ln tbe French arcblres, an original memorandum ln which tbe famous searover, Paul Jones, told the story of one of tbe occurrences connect ed with his raid on tbe British coasts bi 1778. Jones wrote: "Returning on board tbe Ranger, Ok wind being favorable, I sailed for the Scottish coast. My Intention was to capture the Earl of Selkirk and detain him as a hostage. Accordingly th same day, 23d April, 1778, about noon, having with me a single boat, only two officers and a small guard, I landed on that nobleman's estate. "On landing I met some of the Inhabit ants, who, taking me for an English man, told me that Lord Selkirk was then In London, but that my lady, his wife, and several lady friends were at home. This made me resolve to return Immediately to my boat, and go back to tbe Ranger. This moderate conduct was not to tbe taste of my men, who were Inclined to pillage, burn and de vastate all they could. Tbougb this would have been making war after the fashion of the English, I did not think It fit to Imitate them, especially on this occasion, considering what was due to a lady. "It was necessary, however, to flnt some compromise to satisfy the cupid ity of my crew and to spare Lady Sel kirk. I had only a moment for choice. What seemed to me best to reconcile everything was to order the two officers to go to the mansion with my guard, which was to remain outside under arms, while they alone entered. They were then politely to ask for tbe fam ily plate, to stay only a few minutes to take what was given them wlthou' demanding anything more, and retun Immediately afterward without pro eeedipg to any search. "I was strictly obeyed. The plate was given up. Lady Selkirk told the officer several times over that she was very sensible of the moderation shown by me. She even wished to come to thti beach, a mile from her mansion, to In vite rie to dine with her; but the officers1 hedged her not to take the trouble to dc this." Coyotes Ilerovered Tbelr Puppies, An amusing Incident occurred the other day on the Lemon farm, neat Garfield, Wash. Burt Lemon and an employe of the farm were plowinir, when they came across three young coyote pups which had not yet opened thair eyes. While they were examin ing them the old ones appeared and approached to within fifty yar.13. Mr. Lem.in went to the house for a jm:i and a sack, nnd placed the young once in the sack, which was tied np aud lefl In the field uutil time to go in froi:' work. The old coyotes kept a respectful din tance frmn the rifle, but hovered around. Several turns of the field werr nin.le with the plow, and, finiilly, when the nii-a came in s:sh of where they had left the sack containing the youn coyotes, they saw one of the old ones with the sack, puppies and all, streak in: it over the hill, and that was tlx last seen of them.

Preseott only told of a small part of the strange things to be found In Mexi co. It was In the belief that we had th clew to almost the precise location of these tiny folk that I started to Jour ney into tbe wilds of Mexico. So defin ite was the information upon which the expedition was based that I thought we might go directly to the borne of the dwarfs. I knew there were mountains to climb and rivers to cross, hundreds of hard miles to travel, untold hardships to face, but to find the pigmy Aztecs was a great enough accomplishment to tempt any scientific man to make all physical discomforts seem trivial. I went I Invaded the remotest and most uncivilized districts of the great country to the south. Of the men and customs I have seen many, and studied them from the United States border to the Isthmus. I have seen strange peo ples and gathered relics of a bygone civ ilization, but the race of pigmies we could not find. I do not say that they do not exist but merely that I did not find them. They may still be hidden somewhere among those mountains, where some day some lucky man will find them and bring them to light At any rate, I have come back to the haunts of every -day, modern people and the duties of every -day life, wiser and happier than when I started on my mission. The story of those wander ings In Mexico will be a wonder story to tell by and by and a rich memory for old age. Frederick Starr ln San Francisco Examiner. What Marco Polo Did. lie was the first traveler to trace a route across tbe whole length of Asia, says' one of his biographers, "describ ing kingdom after kingdom that be had seen wltb his own eyes." He was the first traveler to explore the deserts and the flowering plains of Persia, to re veal China with Its mighty rivers. Its swarming population, and Its hnge cities, and rich manufactures; the first to visit and bring back accounts of Tibet, Laos, Buminh, Slam, Cochin China, Japan, tbe Indian Archipelago, Ceylon, Farther India, and the Anda man Islands; the first to give any dis tinct account of the secluded Christian empire of Abyssinia; the first to speak even vaguely of Zanzibar, Madagascar, and other regions In the mysterious South, and of Siberia and the Arctic passed since young Marco Polo grew to man's estate while treading his dan gerous way among these distant lands, we must still look back to his discover ies for much that we know about those countries; for we have learned nothing new of many of them since his time. 8t - Nicholas, cWall eitare. ffwmneiw t had a scheme once for re ffrr"'g tramp, bat It didn't work. .

BRESSIE SAYS 10 AMERICAN WOMEN. gpaahs of Her Melancholy Condition After the Birth of Her Child. "I feel as if I was doing an in justice to my suffering sisters if I did not tell what Lydia E. Puikham'a Vegetable Com pound, has done for me, and its worth to the world. ' From the birth ofmy child until , be was four years , old, 1 was in poor health, but feel ing con vinced that balf of the ailments of women were imagined or else culti vated. I fought i against my bad feel ings, until I was obliged to give up. My disease baffled the best doctors. "I was nervous, hysterical; my head ached with such a terrible burning sensation on the top, and felt as if a band was drawn tightly above my brow; inflammation of the stomach, no appetite, nausea at the bight of food, indigestion, constipation, bladder and kidney troubles, palpitation of the heart, attacks of melancholia would occur without any provocation what ever, numbness of the limbs, threaten ing paralysis, and loss of memory to such an extent that I feared aberration of the mind. "A friend advised LydTa E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and spoke in glowing terms of what it had done for her. " I began its use' and gained rapidly. Now I am a living advertisement of its merits. I had not used it a year when I was the envy of the whole town, for my rosy, dimpled, girlish looks and perfect health. " I recommend it to all women. I find a great advantage in being able to sa 3-, it is by a woman's hands this great boon is given to women. All honor to the name of Lydia E. I'inkham; wide success to the Vegetable Compound.
