Her house, standing well back from the street and surrounded by magnificent elms, was one of the oldest and most aristocratic iu the vil lage. It was a delightful place to visit, and particularly for a child of dreamy and imginative temperament, its at tractions were endless. The garden, with its box-edged walks aud old-fasliioued flowerbeds, and the house, where everything < ated past one generation after another, had equal charms for me. Aunt Augusta lived entirely in the past; the friends she had lost long years before lived for her still. I used to think she too i more comfort with them than many people do with their living ones. Her walls were hung with portraits and some really fine paintings. Among them was one of which I was particu larly fond, called "The Cavalier's Es cape. " A handsome young man in slashed doublet and long purple hose was creeping up the stone steps, from a glo my dungeon, past his sleeping jailer. His boots with their long shining spurs ho carried under his Mr.n, and a beautiful maiden waited for him at the top of the shadowy stairs, with the great castle key in one slender hand, while the other was lifted warninglv, her frightened eyes fixed on the jailer's unconscious face. I speak of the cavalier as young and handsome, though, truth to tell, only tho back of his head, with his long auburn love-locks, was visible in the picture; but notwithstanding this fact, 1 have never been able to get over the idea that oucel saw his faje. But I'll toll you how it happened. I was paying my usual summer visit to my aunt, and spending my time very satisfactorily to myself in reading anil dreaming. I was li? years old, and considered by my friends to* pos sess more imagination than was al together good for me. But on the particular day of which I am telling you my meditations were interrupted by one of the neighbors, wh i came into beg my Aunt Augusta to allow her to examine my great grandmother's wedding dress. Her daughter was going to take part in some tableaux anil wanted an inspira tion for her costume. The wonderful gowns my auut kept hidden away in the dark recesses of the "spare room" wardrobe I looked upon with delight and awe,on the rare occasions when she would allow me a p~ep at these treasures. But I was never permitted to touch any of them, though it was tho desire of my life to see myself arrayed in my great-grand mother's wedding dress. After Mrs. Woodfei n had gazed and admired to her satisfaction my aunt folded the beautiful satin and lace, locked them away ngain out of sight, and gave me the keys to put back in her desk, while she accompanied her guest downstairr. I was obediently on my way to her room, when something Mrs. Wood fern was saying caught my ear. "Three houses have been entered already, Miss Wilberforce. Do you think it is safe for you here, with 110 man to call in for protection? You have so many valuable things to at tact a burglar." "i am not nervous," Aunt Augusta answered as they passed out of sight, but I felt I must hear the account Mrs. Woodferu was giving of the bur glar's desperate deeds, so I dropped the keys in my pocket and hurried down, meaning to come up at once and take care of them after Mrs. Wood ferr. >vas gone. There was a full moon that niglit. It streamed into all the windows and lighted up the rooms with its splendor. Aunt Augusta went, to bed early with a headache, and I wandered about the house by myself, indulging in fancies of the wildest nature. The portraits looked at me solemn ly from the walls, and I thought of Hans Andersen's stories, anil wished they would come down anil talk to me. How delightful it would be to see all the stately ladies and gentle men walking about in the moonlight! But perhaps they they were only wait ing for mo to be out of tho way. 1 was standing before my great grandmother's portrait, when I rem embered the keys iu my pocket—l could try that wedding dress on then and no one be tho wiser! I would not hurt it; there was no reason why auy one should mind. Noiselessly, I crept upstairs to the the big front room, that also was flooded with moonlight—l had forgot ten the blinds with the keys. Closing the door softly behind me, I crossed tho floor ou tiptoe and un locked the great wardrobe's doors, holding my breath at my own daring, but in a few minutes there I stood, in the shining satiu, with the beautiful old laco veil falliu; .ike a mist around we. It really was wonderful how it all fitted me, even the little satin shoes, with the great paste buckles, that shone like diamonds of the purest water. I walked into the moonlight and looked down at myself. Oh, what a pity no one could see! Even I could only get half a glimi se at the glories of my costume. If only I dared go downstairs, tho long mirror betwein tho windows in the parlor would be what I wanted! No sooner said than done. A spirit of adventure was alive in my heart, and with my train over my arm I passed quietly down. There was no one to hear. Aunt Augusta slept soundly, and the only servant was in her room at the back of the house. Tranquil and serene, I stood and con templated my charms; then, with a little sigh of mingled satisfaction aud regret, I prepared to return whence I came, siuie not even the pictures would not come down and bear ine company. With the thought of the pictures still in my head I stepped out into the hall, and stopped— for tlierj was a man going softly upstairs. The light was dim, and he was wrapped in a dark cloak, but I saw ha was carrying his boots under his arm, and iu an instant I remembered the cavali r. I was not as much frightened as you would have supposed. I never once thought of the burglar Mrs. Wood fern had been talking about. It seemed | only natural, and a matter of course, that something unusual should happi n. The rustle of my train, as I let it fall, attracted the cavalier's attention. He turned and saw me there in a nar row strip of moonlight that fell through the hall window, and iii an instant he was coming down again to ward me. I retired before him farther and farther till I was back again in the moon lighted parlor. But still he came on. I could see him quite plainly then—such a handsome young man, though wild and daring! It seemed as if 1 had always known his face must be like that—only his auburn love-locks were gone. "I was told this houso was haunted," lie said, under his breath, looking at me with his dark eyes. •1 had a vague impression in my mind that it would be a good thing if I were safely back again in my own room with the door 1 eked; but since 1 was downstairs I might as well make the best of it. Perhaps it was only a dream, after all, so I looked at the cavalier steadily. "Are - u alone?" I asked. "Where are this iers?" I spokb softly be cause 1 did not wish to wake Aunt Augusta. He did not answer, but came a step nearer, amazement iu his face. "I suppose the jailer is still asleep," I said eas'ually. The cavalier gave a tremendous start and looked over his shoulder. "If you were trying to escape," I said, "there was no use in going upstairs." The cavalier came nearer still aud ciuglit me by my wrist, but he did nut look any less puzzled. "Elesli and blood," I heard him mutter, and i ertainly there was noth ing unsubstantial about his grasp. But suddenly his brow grew dark. "What do you mean?" he whispered, fiercely. "Is this a trap to catch me?" "No," I answered. I began to get frightened, and spoke hurriedly. "Escape, if you want to—quick, be fore he wakes up." "Where is he, upstairs?" frowning still, but I could tell by tho way he looked toward the window that he meant to go. "No; he is in there"—pointing to the room across the hall. "But I won't wake liiui up; only let go my arm. You hurt me!" "Do yon give me your solemn word of honor that you will not scream or make any sound or attempt to leave this room for half an hour?" demand ed my captor. I promised readily enough, and he motioned me to sit down in Aunt Augusta's big chair, aud then, with out a souud, he opened the window. I thought he was gone, but no, he had stopped, aud was looking back at me as I sat there iu the moonlight,gravely watching him, aud theu he came back and stood beside me. "I don't know who or what you are," he said; "but you are the strangest g»rl I ever saw—and the prettiest. Did I hurt her poor little wrist?" And theu I suppose he re membered the gallantry of the days to which he belonged, for he bent his dark head down low and kissed my arm as it rested on the chair beside him. Theu he vanished like a shadow aud closed the window softly behind him. I sat motionless in the big chair and waited. The moonlight slipped down from my bridal veil and across my Fatin lap down to my shining shoe-buckles, and at last was gone al together; but still the jailer did not wake up, and all the other pictures s'ayed quietly iu their frames, and I leaned my head back in Aunt Augusta's great chair and went fast asleep while I waited. The clock was striking two when I awoke, and then I was frightened. My mind was full of vague, half re membered terrors. I was afraid of ; myself, in my ghostly dress, and flew upstairs as if pursued. I had to get a caudle from my room to see to put away my finery—the great spare room ; had grown so dark—and there were queer noises iu the wardrobe, anil iu i every corner. Iri membered then i about the burglar, aud shook from ' head to foot with fear. It did seem as if I never should get those things ■ put away. But it was done at last, and oh, the : joy when I was safely back in my j room with my door locked fast behind i me! There is the story, you can call it ! what you please—a ghost story, or a burglar story, or a dream. There was nothiug next morning to prove which it was. | I went down as soon as I was dressed to look at the pic ure in the ' sittingroom, but the cavalier was there still, noiselessly climbing the weary j stairs past the sleeping jailer. I ! couldn't help being sorry for him,that | he hadn't escaped, after all. I put back my aunt's keys directly after breakfast. I didn't care about i keeping them any longer, and to this i day I am not altogether sure whether ; lever tried on my great-grandmother's weddiug dress or not. INTELLIGENT PACK MULES. j During Tlieir Army Experience They Learn Many Thing*. "In the government service," said an ex-soldier, "the pack trains are led by a bell mare and the mules learn to follow her with a blind confidence that is astonishing. After the sur render of Santiago the army of occu pation had several pack trains that were kept in a big corral near the camp. Ono day General Breckinridge eamo to visit General Shafter, who at that time had shifted his headquarters to a point near San Juan Hill, and how to provide him with a saddle animal was a serious question. The climate of south Cuba had proven very hard on our horses and they were nearly all dead or disabled. In fact, the only respectable looking beast we could scrape up was a bell mare be longing to one of the trains, and the order was accordingly given to saddle her up. "The general mounted and was ridiug away toward headquarters, when suddenly a most hideous and unearthly tumult broke loose from the corral. The mules had caught sight of their leader and were frantically en deavoring to get out and follow, each one braying at the top of bis lungs and every bray in a different key. It was the most horrible row ever heard in the province since the bombard ment of Morro Castle, and for the time being it looked as if the crazy mules were going to tear down the stockade. General Breckinridge was startled and reined up to investigate, but meanwhile a dozen packers had jumped into the corral and went to work oil the brutes with clubs, trying to get them running around in a circle so as to distract their attention. At last they succeeded, and the general fortunately disappeared down the road before the drove came to a standstill again. He would have cut a unique figure if he had ridden up to Shatter's tent leading a solemn cavalcade of <*>4 government mules, and that is exactly what would have happened had it not been for the presence of mind of the packers. "A pack-mule that has seen service gets very cunning. I renumber we had one old fellow who had been in the army for 12 or 15 years and he knew as much as most of the men. He was occasionally used as leader and was very fond of the job, because in that case he had no load to carry. To see him maueuvering to get to the front was very comical. The regula tion pack weighs 200 ponnds, and the mules soon size it up to a nicety, re fusing to carry anything more. For that reason they are blindfolded while being loaded; otherwise they would be continually looking around to see whether the pa. k was inside the limit. "On one occasion wo received a coffin to be sent to Siboney and the old mule I referred to was selected to carry it. The coffin weighed about 2.") pounds, but tho mule must have concluded from its size that it weighed a ton, aud he immediately began to groan in the most pitiful manner, exactly liko a human being. When the coffin was put ou his back he pre tended to stagger and sagged down as if he was carrying a 10-inch gun. At the same time he turned his head and looked at me with a mournful ex pression that was as easily read as so much print: 'Good heavens!' he seemed to say, 'are yon going to allow me to be crushed by this enormous burden?" We were all shrieking with laughter aud tried to make him take his place iu line, but not an inch would he budge. Finally he deliber ately rolled over aud knocked the coffin off. That settled it. We let the old rascal take the bell, and I could almost hear him ehuckliug as it was looped around his neck. Another mule was then blindfolded and took ou the coffin without trouble." Preservative Power of Ice. Whales are not the only objects found in the ice. Various expeditions have reported the finding of human bodies, whalers or other seamen who had been caught in the snow, buried iu the ice, aud preserved for years. In 1822 Capt. Burnham found the body of a seaman buried iu blue ice four feet from the surface, both body and clothing being in a perfect state of preservation. Captain Keudal of the British navy, iu examining the soil of Deception Islaud, oue of the South Shetland group,found a human body that must have been there for years as it was entombed in a mass of volcanic ash that was frozen to a stone like consistence. In this way many remarkable animals have been pre served for the edification of mankind in later ages. Itri<le*s Substitute for "Obey.** Some brides insist upon having the little "obey" left out of their mar riage service nowadays, but it was a witty aud alert young woman who saved dispute aud solved the difficulty at a fashionable weddiug iu au Epis copal church the other day. Her girl friends had been let into the secret, but the bridegroom could hardly be lieve his ears aud thought that she was overcome by her emotions when his lovely bride solemnly promised to "love honor aud be gay." He is learning that she means to keep the promise, however.—Neu' York Press. | FOR WOMAN S BENEFIT.; | ft To Remove a Tight Ring. An easy way of removing a ring that has grown too tight for a finger is to thread a needle with thread that is strong but not too coarse. Soap this needle and pass it eye first under the ring on the inside aud toward the palm of the hand. Pull' the thread through a few inches, aud wihd the other eud of it around the finger to ward the nail and then unwind the end that has been passed under the riug. With this unwinding the ring will come off. Youngest Woman Preacher. Melesin K. Sowles, a girl of sixteen years, is probably the youngest wom an preacher in the world. In .Time of this year she preached the opening sermon at the yearly meeting of the Baptist church, Honey Creek, Wis., and she has been granted an unlimited license to preach at the quarterly meetings of that church. Miss Sowles' home is at Prospect, Wis., where her father is in charge of the Baptist church. Miss Sowles has frequently during the summer spokeu from her father'e pulpit. Before she was ton years old she evinced a great interest in theology, and, unaided, outlined a sermon. Veils from Paris. The newest French veil is of soft, lightweight not with a delicate cobweb embroidery, the edge finished with a narrow ruche of black lace. The tulle veil with big black velvet wafers or spots of chenille is odd aud to perfect complexions very becoming, but it has the disadvantage of being very hard to adjust; the wafers are so far apart that one is on the tip of the nose, an other directly in front of the eye aud a third ou the chin, while forehead and cheeks are covered with plain tulle only. A pretty cross bar net veil shows groups of spots in chenille aud a cobweb mesh veil closely dotted shows at intervals an open space through which the skin glenms white or pink. The effect is decidedly bi zarre, but Freucliy. With the advent of frosty, windy days many women don cliillbu veils at once, and some of these are fancifully dotted aud have silk borders. Browns, blues and uiatives are worn by the woman who does much walking. A M«»a*uring Party- What promises to be a very popu lar form of amusement this winter is called "a measuring party," for which a dainty little leaflet is sent out, to which is attached a small silken bag, one color for the gentlemen and another for the ladies. The leallet can be hand painted by the hostess, or one of these pretty embossed affairs to be purchased at a stationer's. On tho outside of tho leaflet is writ tou iu golden letters "A Measuring Party," and on the inside the follow ing doggerel: A measuring party is given to you; It is something novel us well as new; The invitation is in the suck, for use in bringing or sending back, A nickel for every foot yourtall; Measure yourself on door or wall; Au extra cent for cacti inch give. Arid thereby show how high you live. With music and game, refreshment and pleas ure, N'e will meet oue and all at our party of measure. The recipient of one of these leaflets and silken bags, if the invitation is accepted, is to putin the bag as many nickels as he or she is feet high and a penny for every extra inch. The tallest gentleman and lady re ceive the first prize and tho shortest couple the second. This new amuse ment is a boon to many a perplexed hostess when at her wits' ends to de vise a now game or entertainment, es pecially when it is a question of keep ing a huge house party amused. flutter Made by College ftirls. Not until some seven years ago was the first state college for women openod in the South. This is known as the State Normal and Industrial college, located at Greensboro, N. C., and has had its genesis aud re markable career iu the miud of one young man, Dr. Charles D. McTver. Dr. Mclver is not only a man of great euthusiasm aud executive ability, but he possesses au immeuse capital of re source aud invention. He is con stantly adding new features of self support for the students at this institu tion. At the beginning of the new year it will be practicable for nearly a hundred indigent girls to support themselves while pursuing their studies. This feature of self-support has been in existence for many years, and instead of creating caste among the students has resulted in a magni ficent leveling process. A new line of work which is being organized, and which will give sup port to a score more of girl students, is tho dairy farm. This college is most, fortunate in having attached to it some oue hundred and sixty acres of line farming land. This has been stocked with a piggery and some fifty head of choice .Jersey cows, which are to be milked by the college girls. The dairy will not only be self-sustaining, but it will bring money to the institu tion from the butter these young la dies will make. This butter has the college stamp on it. aud already the demand for it outside tho college is greater than tho supply can be. Bos i ton Transcript. Wherein Vienna Kxrel. The girls of Vienna excel iu # all kinds of needlework, from sewing to ! the most elaborate embroidery. Sew- I ing in all of its branches is a fine art, 1 as it is undertaken iu the old fashioned ' way, and every girl makes all of her own underclothing aud prepares her trousseau and household linen. Nowhere can there be found a great er variety or number of fancy em broidery stitches than iu the school? of Vienna. In drawn work and in tricate designs of cross stitches the girls are adepts. It is a part of their education also to learn to design pat terns of their own. While the Viennese girl learns all about sewing separately from the dressmaking business, she is also sent later to a dressmaking school, where she learns to draft patterns and pre i pare herself so that she can make the clothes for the entire family. Household science in all its branches j and in the most thorough manner is the ; next thing on the program of educa tion. Formerly it was the business of the cook to teach cookii g iu all its phases to the daughters of the household. Now, however, the cooks have rebelled, and the girls attend cooking schools, although some of them are sent to restaurants to learn from the chefs. Household linen is to the Vienuese girl what the china cupboard is to Americans. The linen is tied up with dainty ribbons and placed oil shelves iu the linen cupboard, not in drawers, as is done in this country. Fur un<l Flowers for Winter. Among the principal novelties is sved for the winter mouths are the fur-covered toques aud hats. Sable and marten are used almost exclu sively for the purpose; chinchilla is relegated to quite a third rate posi tion, and astrakhan is altogether ta booed in the first houses. This coin cides with fashions in furs generally, which gives to sable and marten the first place. Both hats and toques are covered with fur. In some cases the ♦skin is merely stretched over the form as might lie a square of velvet or a fiat plateau, the | ieee used for lining l>r< ught over the edge iu a roll. This I arrangement is the ono generally eni ; ployed for marten, but Russian sable, with its elegant maikiags on the back, is subjected to a different treatment; ; the skin is so placed ou the form that | these markings form circles running parallel to the edge of the brim and j encircling the crown, while instead of : being stretched out fiat it is made to set iu slight Holds, following the same direction. A toque managed iu this wise is turned frankly up on one side, tho ! skin being tinted on the outer side, and folds fixed in their pla es by two small simili brooches, the four paws of the animal dangling in a tassel be hind the ear. Two wide scimiter eou loaux, sable brown with cross waves | of a lighter shade, are fastened behind the upturned brim and curve round in j front of the crown. Fur covered hats aud toques ai e also trimmed with contrasting colors; ; turquoise or gray green velvet or satin 1 antique, either arranged iu a big pouf or in a narrow torsade about the base ! of the crown and tied at the "side in a little pointed bow, has a charming ef fect Or one of the printed panne handkerchiefs may do duty as trim ming, its bright colors on a light ! brown ground being particularly suit able. Flowers are also used for their dec oration—bunches of violets or roses. A hat with a brim of medium width covered with marten is simply dec orated by two bug.) blush roses and their leaves; a second has two bunches of purple aud reddish mauve violets; a fur toque is surmounted by a pyra midal bunch of crimson roses. One of the new ideas is to fix two or three glass dewdrops to the petals of the roses used for this and other purposes. Sable and marten skins must also be included among tho very fashionable trimmings for felt hat?. Two strips, cut. off the sides of the skin, provide a binding for the edge of the hat, and the centre piece, with the head and tail attached, a torsade for twisting round the crown; the head and tail cross each other in front, where they are secured by a semi-circular slide. These slides, which are mounted on a flat piece of metal, are not only made of simili, but also iu enamel, which has suddenly come into such favor for brooches and buckles. The enamel ing is exocuted ou metal, iu pale green and yellow gold tints, most effective ! ou dark tiuted fur, felt or textiles.— Millinery Tra le Review. Novel tie* Seen in the Shop*.

Warmth of Birds' lilond. The blood of birds offers some data for thought not found in the blood of any other class of animals. The blood . corpuscles are shaped differently, being oval instead of round; but this is not the difference to which I refer. Birds' blood is several degrees warmei than that of other animals. Toman suoh a temperature of the blood as birds possess would be a fever. This high temperature causes molecular changes in the tissues and brain to take place more rapidly, which would cause the consumption of more food, and brain activity would be more in tense, so that for the same amount ot work a smaller brain would meet all the requirements, which at a lowei temperature would require one ol greater size. —The Phrenological Jour ual.
