The threatening storm clouds meet,

Of night, shall whisper low to all,

• Nobody's Papa. •
A sombre-looking mau -wandered
gloomily from picture to picture. He
had no cr.t ilogue, some people prefer
togo without and gaze untrammelled
by prejudice. He was not perhaps the
only man in the room without a cata
logue, but there was that about him
which distinguished him effectually
from every other human being in that
crowd. No one else looked so utterly
unumused and indifferent as he, though
many were less critical. He knew a
good picture at once, and gave it a
quick, appreciative scrutiny, while
the worthless specimens he passed by
with a glance of contempt. Presently
he turned listlesslyaway and sat down
on the ottoman in the centre of the
room. Folding his arms, he sank
into a brown study. What was he
thinking of? A woman of course!
Yes; but not a woman that he lovetl.
He thought of her as the beautiful
heiress whom he had wooed and won.
She was courted as only such women
are courted, and from all the host of
admirers he had borne off the prize.
He, penniless and obscure, with only
his personal qualities to recommend
him--ah! she must have loved him
then. How beautiful she was, and
how sweet—she seemed! A bitter
smile curled the man's lips. Sweet!
she was made of muriatic acid. He
himself, to be sure, was not all honey
and sugar. Men are not—but a.
woman! His ideal of womanhood had
always been softness, gentleness —she
should be a hero worshiper—and her
hero naturally should be her husband.
Gertrude had been accustomed to
homage. She had not been willing to
own a master,bad expected apparently
to find in him a slave—a slave! She
should have married another man than
Ue. They had scarcely a week of love
»nd happiness, and in six months he
had left her.
"You married me for my money!"
was the last fatal insult she hurled at
him in her passion.
"Very well, madam. I will leave
you your money and relieve you of the
presence of a despised husband —for
ever!"
Those were the last words he had
ever spoken to her—the last words he
ever should speak. He had left her
then and there, to her gland house,
with her grand servants and her grand
friends, and he had gone to Australia
to begin life anew with only his brains
for capital. The capital, however, was
A good one. He had made his fortune,
(ind he had come home, yielding to a
\t range longing to see—not her —oh,
no! nor any man or woman alive, but
to tread his native soil, to revisit the
icenes where he had spent a happy
boyhood—and then-—he should return
\o Australia. There he had friends;
Ihere he had land. It was his home
flow. No one knew of his arrival in
England; no one should know. From
his wife his separation had been com
plete. There had been 110 letters—no
inquiries. To each other they were as
ilead.
It was seven years since they had
yet and married and parted, and he
sid not know if she were living or
jlead. Of course he did not want to
Jtnow. She perhaps was anxious to
hear of his death in order that she
might marry somebody else. Perhaps
in time she would assume his death.
He started up. The heat was in
tolerable, the pictures odious, the
people detestable, their cackle unen
durable. He would go straight out.
He would not look at another daub.
That one was not so bad, though! In
npite of himself he stopped to look at
it. It was the portrait of a little girl
—a dear, little girl in hat and fur tip
pet and muff, standing in the porch of
a country house. It was evideutly a
stormy wiuter's day. Her feet stood
in the snow,but she was standing quite
still in an attitude of eager expectancy.
It fascinated him; he looked long aud
earnestly. It was a good picture, but
it was not altogether its artistic merits
that captivated him. The child's face
seemed to awake some far-off me.nory
a memory that kept on eluding him
in a perplexing mauner. Then at last
it came to him. The likeness was a
little sister of his own who bad died
in early childhood; she had been his
boyhood's companion. He had loved
her deeply: he had mourned her long.
Poor Nellie! Her name had excited
the first disagreement between his
wife and hi: iself. He had said that if
they should have a daughter he would
wish her to be called Ellen after this
lister of his. His wife had declared
with heat that she hated the name.
Was it possible that she could be jeal
ous even of a dead child? Or was it
simply that love of opposition which
ended by making their life together
impossible? Ah, if Nellie had lived,
he would have had some one to love—
some one to turn to in his desolation.
The likeness was extraordinary.
"Do you like my picture?"
He turned round and saw !the orig
inal of the portrait standing at his
elbow. What a pretty little girl she
was! And how much prettier than her
picture! The artist had done his best,
but he could not adequately render the
light which danced in the dark eyes,
nor the dimples that came and went in
the round, rosy cheeks.
"It is very nice, but you yourself
are nicer still," he said with a smile.
How that smile became him!
"What is your name?" he pursued.
"Nellie."
He started.
"It is a curious coincidence," he
said, "that you remind me of a Nellie
who died long ago."
The child looked up with syuij a he
tic, wondering eyes.
"You weren't her papa, were you?"
"No; I am no little girl's jap.i."
"Oh!" said Nellie,in a disappointed
tone, and her face fell. "Then it's no
use—l won't tell you. No, I won't
tell you now.''
She stood for a moment irresolute;
then made as if she would go. He
did not want her togo; he took her
hand.
"Tell me—oh, do tell me!" he said.
"It's a secret—why that picture was
paired—why I come here every day,
but I won't tell you—no, I won't tell
you. Good-bye, nobody's papa!"
She bounded off like a little colt to
her mother's side. He supposed she
was her mother—a tall woman dressed
iu black, who stood with her back to
him absorbed in a landscape opposite.
"He says he is no little girl's papa,"
announced thecliild,in her shrill voice.
The lady hushed her, took her hand
and led her quickly from the room.
"Excuse me, but will you hand me
your catalogue for a moment?"
The old gentleman addressed started,
dropped his double eyeglasses, looked
somewhat annoyed, but nevertheless
put the catalogue into the eager hand
held out for it.
"No. 170. 'Waiting for Papa.'
Portrait of Ellen, daughter of Hugh
Marston, Esq."
"Thank you." His hand trembled
so as he handed back the catalogue
that it fell to the ground.
"Drunk or mad?" muttered the old
gentleman, as he stooped, much dis
composed, to pick it up again.
Our friend meantime,passed through
the crowd and hurried breathlessly on,
through the turnstile, down the steps,
just in time to see an open carriage
with two horses, and a footman in
livery, drive off. In it were the lady
in mourning and little Nellie.
Neli!e waved her hand to him, but
the lady averted her gaze.
"Is your mistress at home?"
The gentleman who asked this ques
tion of a stately butler at the door of
a house in Belgrave square was our
friend of the Royal academy, but he
was no longer gloomy and morose. He
was eager and excited. So great was
the difference which this change of ex
pression made iu his countenance that
he seemed another man.
"Mrs. Alarston is at home, sir.
What name?"
The butler looked at him a little
askance.
"Never mind my name; show me
in."
There was an imperiousness about
his manner which conquered the but
ler, in spito of the deepening mystery.
The visitor was showu in silence
iuto the drawingroom, where a lady
dressed iu black, a still young and
beautiful lady, but pale and thin, sat
with her head on her hand. Nellie
played at her feet, but the mother was
not paying any attention to the child.
"Gertrude!"
She sprang to her feet, and for a
moment a look of the most intense joy
came into her face. She seemed as it
she would have fallen into the arms
stretched out to her, but then suddenly
she recoiled, saying, with bitterness:
"I will not acknowledge for a hus
band the man who disowns my child."
"Perhaps he can't help being no
little girl's papa," interceded Nellie.
"Disown her! Never! Did I dis
own her when I found out?"
"You did a few hours ago, aud you
must lmve kuowu. You said it to in
sult me."
"Gertrude! Gertrude! How could
I even imagine?"
He caught up the child and kissed
her wildly, passionately.
"You might very easily, and if you
had ever troubled yourself even to
inquire whether I was alive or dead—
oh! to abandon me like that for one
word—one hasty word—it was cruel—
cruel aud brutal!"
"No, 110," said Nellie, "he's sovrj
now. lam sure he's sorry now."
She patted his cheek, down which
the tears were running.
"Oh, run away, child—run away!"
cried the mother. "No, I can't for
give you, Hugh, not even now you are
here, though the picture did bring you
—I can't."
She was weeping now, aud he was
kneeling at her kuees, imploring her
forgiveness with broken sobs.
Nellie ran to tell the servants that
her papa had come home at last, but
mamma was angry with him because
he said ho was not her papa.
"Oh, hush, Miss Nellie!" cried the
nurse.
"I thought who it was when he
wouldn't give his name," said the but
ler.
"I suppose they won't want no din
ner." observed the cook sarcastically.
No, they wanted no dinner, nor one
other earthly thing—that cohpie up
stairs. They were in paradise, and
there it Mould be a pity not to leave
them.—New York Ledger.
A New Instrument.
There has been discovered among
the Ute Indians of Colorado a sort ot
clarinet which is a sweeter and more
plaintive tone than auy of our orches
tral instruments. The effect of its
sound, wafted up the mountains from
the Indian villages, is described as
being magical.

gown. Cut it in two strips length

the ends sew white needlework em
broidery, or if you choose you can
procure fringe or chiffon ruffling.
A standing collar must be worn
with this stock, which is tied around
the neck. Tie in one loop and two
ends, and pull the loop through until
it hangs almost as long as the short
end. This will be found very useful
all summer to wear with the gown it
matches.
"Any color at all as long as it's red,
is the color that suits me best," sang
Eugene Field. And the same theme
is echoed by many tastefully dressed
women who find no toilet complete
without a touch of the robin red breast
hue.
The most brilliant scarlet satin is
used in neckwear, and you can
scarcely have too many or too vivid
combinations. One of the showiest
of these consists of a plain red satin
WAIST WITH BLOUSE FRONT AND SEVEN GORED SKIRT WITH REYERS,
stock with a red satin bow in front.
Back of the silk loops are three
showy loops of white embroidery -with
a bright red satin bow to set them off.
At the back there is another red satin
bow, backed by white embroidered
ends.
A Striking Feature of the Season.
Two striking features of the sea
son's styles are delineated in the
large engraving in this handsome
costume of Hussar blue glove cloth,
viz., the blouse with re vers that cross
in surplice fashion, and the single
rever on skirt meeting right rever on
waist to give the desired princess
effect.
The revers of white satin are over
laid with lace net, gathered frills
of soft blue taffeta finishing the edges.
The blouse fronts are gracefully dis
posed over linings fitted with the
usual bust darts, the seamless side
back aud under arm gores rendering
a glove fitting adjustment. The
stylish two-seamed sleeves are formed
in puffs by gathers at the top, and
three downward turning 'plaits at
each edge of the upper portion, small
round cuffs that correspond with the
reversr finishing the wrists. A full
plastron and collar of taffeta closes
in centre back, showing to advautage
the four-in-hand tie of white rnous
seline here worn. The belt droops
slightly in front, closing at the left
side with a mother of pearl buckle.
Hmorf 1 faced clothes, armnre, hen

light weight cheviots, or novelty
fabrics in silk or wool, will all de
velop stylishly by the mode, contrast
ing fabrics such as silk, velvet, etc.,
braid, applique or any desired decor
ation being used for cuffs.
The skirt is cut in seven gores and
fits smoothly across the front and
over the hips, all the fulness at the
back being lail in deep plaiting to
give the fan effect. The rever whish
make the only trimming, is attached
to the left front seam and lays over
smoothly upon the cloth.
To cut this waist for a lady of
medium size 2[ yards of material
forty-four inches wide will be re
quired. To cut the skirt, which meas
ures four yards at the lower edge, five
yards of forty-four inch material will
be required.
Gingerbread For Soldiers.
The women who have been wanting
to do someting to help or comfort the
men in camp will be glad to learn
with what enthusiasm the efforts of
the women of Topeka, Kan., in this
direction were received by the volun
teers stationed there. An immense
quantity of gingerbred was baked by
private individuals and sent to the
camp. Each soldier was given a loaf
of it, and their appreciation of this
gift from the women of Topeka was
loudly expressed.
Prudent Advice.
A lofty young person who manages
to keep above the maelstrom of cur
rent events wrote to a city friend the
other day; "Do give me a suggestion
for a costume for a Spanish gypsy.
We are going to have a fancy dress
ball." The city friend wrote back:
"The safest costume for a Spanish
gypsy to wear just at present would
be one made of cast iron, spangled
with steel." *
Pocket Bibleti In War.
Every girl should give her soldier
boy sweetheart a pocket Bible to carry
in his vest pocket. Statistics gathered
from religious periodicals and women's
magazines will show that fully half
the bullets fired in the late war were
turned aside from the heart of the man
shot at by a pocket Bible given him by
his weeping sweetheart or his mother.
The New Buttons.
The new buttons are almost hand

sizes from a very diminutive one to
five inches long, are a perfect craze.

An Ancient Custom,
From Republican Traveler, Arkansas Cilu,
• Kan.
Pilgrimages to some shrine of St. Vitus
to cure the disease known HS St. Vitus'
dance are no longer made. The modern
way of treating this affliction is within
reach of every household, as is shown by
the experience of Karl A. Wagner, the
eleven-year-old son of George Wagner, of
515 9th St., Arkansas City, Kan. The fath
er tells the story as follows:
"Over a year ago," he says, "Karl was
taken with St. Vitus' dance and continued
to grow worse during five months he was
under a physician's care. His tongue be
came paralyzed aud we could not under
stand a word he said. He became very
thin, lost the use of his right leg and
seemed doomed to become a hopeless In
had about given up hope when
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
wore recommended to my wife by a l'idy
Whose daughter had been cured of a simi
lar affliction by the pills.
"I bought n box of them at once and soon
noticed a

appeared. A Hopeless Invalid.
"That was six months ago and there has
been no return of the disease. The cure was
effectual and permanent, and I feel satisfied
that no other medicine could have pro
duced so marvelous a result. We feel re
joiced over the restoration of our son and
cannot help but fuel that Dr. Williams'
Pluk Pills for Pale People are the most re
markable medicine on the market."
No discovery of modern times has proved
such a blessing to mankind as Dr. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting
directly on the blood And nerves, invigor
ating the body, regulating the functions,
they restore the strength aud health in the
sxhausted patient when every effort of the

Control of Palsied Hands.
The control men get over their
hands by constant practice was being
discussed. One cited the case of an
artist who is afflicted with palsy so
badly that he cannot convey his food
or drink to his mouth unaided. And
yet this man with pallet and brush in
hand can paint as well as ever he
could. Before his brush touches the
canvas his hand trembles violently,
but the moment he feels the brush
touch his picture his stroke becomes
firm and strong and just what he de
sires it to be.
Almost a parallel case is that of a
veteran soldier well known in Kansas
City, "Peg Leg" Smith. Smith is
now in the Soldiers' Home in Leaven
worth. When in Kansas City he used
to run a cigar wheel at the city hall
square.
Smith comes to Kansas City fre
quently, and when here likes togo to
a shooting gallery on Walnut street
and shoot at the targets. He is a good
shot and enjoys looking along a rifle
barrel. Smith has the palsy in an
alarming degree. When he raises the
rifle and aims it at the target it jerks
around in such a lively manner that
one would wager he could not hit the
side of a house. But just as he is
about to pull the trigger his hand
steadies and the next instant the bell
rings. The palsied man has hit the
bull's eye.—Kansas City Star.
Lnwrence'd Immortal Cry.
"Dou't give up the ship," the dying
words of Commodore Lawrence, the
heroic commander of the Chesapeake,
are among the very noblest ever ut
tered. They will live as long as ocean
rolls or gallant ship floats. The gal
lant Perry flew that stignal at his
masthead in the memorable battle of
Lake Erie, at the glorious close of
which he bad the inspiration to pen
that dispatch which has canonized
him in our history: "Wo have met
the enemy and they are ours." It
was written on his stiff hat in lieu of a
table, on the half of an old letter, and
the additional information in it gave
the size and number of the enemy,
namely, "two ships, two brigs, one
schooner and one sloop." Perry was
a hero in peace as well as in war.
During a fearful winter storm, while
lyiug in the harbor of Newport, he
heard that a merchant vessel had beeu
driven on a reef six miles distant.
He at once manned his barge and said
to the crew: "Come, my boys, we are
going to the relief of shipwrecked sea
men; pull away." That act was ap
plauded by the country almost as much
as the battle on Lake Erie. During
the Mexican war General Scott re
quested the loan of some guus from
the fleet, to be used on shore. Perry
complied, but on one coudition—that
"wherever the guns go the officers and
men must go also."
Hooks on Iffffh Shelves.
To put a book in a bookcase on a
shelf over six feet from the ground
means that you will have to climb for
it. With the common, close-shutting
up Ftepladder this may mean only
slight expenditure of labor, but the
trouble the getting of the book may
require is not the most serious one.
One should never put a book up high
if it has a nice binding, because, as
the heat rises, the leather ot the book
will dry up, rot, at,d perish. Gas
light, which throws off its sulphureted
hydrogen, and the ordinary ! r ero«en6
lamp are mortal enemies of all bound
books which stand on a high shelf.
Then, again, the finer particles of dust
rise, lodge, and stick to the book.
Nice gilding becomes obliterated. The
mortal foe of a book is, then, a high
shelf.
