V. 112 CDMIMMIMMMMIMHIM He was the handsomest fellow I ever saw, so far as bright, black eyes, soft, curling hair, red obeeks and the shadow of a dark mustache goto make up the beauty. No oue appreciated this more fully than the shy little Theodora Brown. But Fred was poor, and Theodoia, though an orpbau and penniless her self, had been a.lopted by a wealthy relative, a maiden aunt, Miss Charity Powers, who seemed determined to make her tirst name a misnomer; for it was uuiversally conceded that what ever other good traits she might have, she certainly had not charity. Ho it came al>out that Miss Charity decided not to allow the two young people to walk together any more to and from singing school and eveniug meetings, or to look over the same tune book in the village choir. But finding that, like all other natural attractions, they would gravitate toward each other, and they were evidently unhappy at being kept apart, while they must see each o'herso frequently, she begnn to cast about for some means to separ ate them entirely. First she thought she would send Theodora away to a boarding school; but as there was a good academy in the villnje, this s?emed ratliei too ffln.'h like airs; besides, she did not like to do without lier favorite; so after much consideration auotherplun suggested aud perfected itself in her mind. She bad,away down iii Now Jersey, | a small farm which she hud never seen j left her by some aged relative who ' had starved there iu comfortaole in- j digeace for IK or 1!) years. The old j lady made up her mind that she would ; offer Fred a fai. 1 chance to make a for- ; tune witho.it fail, if he could. So she I told him of the farm, brought out the i papers, called in a lawyer, and bad a deed duly written, signed, witnessed and recorded. This deed she put into Fred's hands, saying: "There! dou't say I never gave yon anything; take that and study it." He did as he was bid; took the deed and read it over carefully. By it lie 1 learned that he had, all at once, come » into possession of v>o acres of land, i and a stone house, with outbuildings, situate' 1 , in the town of Newton,county of fcussox, State of New Jeisey, and that one especial point and provision was, that he should go there and stay ! for tim e years. Otherwise, the pro perty reverted to its previous owner, j for her heirs, assigns, otc. "What!" said Fred, looking puz zled, and then, speaking quick and angrily: "You want to oe rid of mo?" 'J he old lady chuckled. "Von will never do for a minister—you jump at conclusions." "But I won't go; I don't accept your gift." "Very well. Then I'll send Theo away tomorrow, and you may slay bere aud starve." "I shall not starve; I will work hard and patiently; aud I will not see Theo without your consent." "You will neglect your work; you'll follow Theo's striped shawl up the street at a t-afe aud melancholy dis tance; you'll waste your time watch ing for her to pass, and, finally,you'll starve to death, aud be found a cold corpse ou the very morning that the bells are ringing gayly for Theo's weddiug with Squire Upham." Theo will never marry Squire Up ham; she hates him." "Ou the contrary, slio admires him." "Does she say so?" "Yes, to mo." "All right then. I'll never stand in her way. Heaven knows I only want to see her happy. Oh, Theo! Theo!" The young man spoke low, and Miss Charity could see the tears in bis dark eyes. "Give me the papers!" he said, desperately. "I'll goto Jersey —I kuow it's a cowardly thing to do, but I have neither the strength nor the courage togo out in the world,friend less aud penniless, and tight for my self. And I shall be dead to you all then; you'll never hear from me again. Good-by; tell Theo good-by aud tell her that I love her too well to inter fere with her happiness. There is a picture up in my little den that I painted for her. May 1 give her that?" "Ob, yes!" said Miss Charity, aud it was not hard to imagine a shadow of relenting iu her gray eyes. "If you bring the picture tomorrow you'll find Theo at home. I sent her away today on account of wantin' to see you on business. Now that's settled, I suppose you'll only be here once more, anyhow, jest to say good-by. Remember, I trust you to do what is right in this thiug. You cannot sell the farm; you are not to run away with Theo. You may write to her as much as you please, and she to you as often as she likes, for I am no *j>y; but voil are to stav nwnv from In»r for three years, or until you are worth 85000. Is that the way you uuder staud the bargain?" "Exactly, madam," returned Fred, a little dignified, because not a little angry with the cruel late that made him poor and an artist, while the triumphant image of Squire Upham arose in his mind, rich and a boor. The picture was brought the next day and the farewells were spoken. Theo was very quiet and Fred very formal, at first, until he said: "I shall be away three years at least, perhaps forever. When I return, if I ever do, no doubt I shall find you married." Then her lips curled a little scorn fully, as she said: "That is very improbable. Peoplo —gentlemen, I mean—are not in the habit ol talking to me about marriage; iu tact, they talk to nie about every thing else." "But Theo, darling!" Fred did not look to soe if Miss Charity was in | sight; he only knew that the girl he ! loved was standing there, with blush ing cheeks and downcast eyes, and lie must speak or die. "You know lam only happy iu your presence, that to call you my wife is the one wild dream of my heart. If 1 dared, I would ask you to wait for me. I would promise to move Heaven and earth to win the means of providing a home fit for you to dwell in." "Those who dare not, win not,"said a sharp voice near them. "But, Miss Charity," Fred turned his bright, eager eyes to her face,still holding Theo's hand in both his own, "if I work steadily and patiently for three years, then will you give your couseut to our marriage?" "Not unless you have $"000," was the grim and determined reply. Fred's countenance fell. He had no faith in his own ability—he could never earn SSOOO. But Theo smiled hopefully. "We cau wait," she said. "We, darling! my angel!" mur mured the happy fellow. "Cau it bo that you will wait for me?" "l'es, if you work real hard;" and she smiled again, more from pity for his handsoma helplessness than from any faith iu that possible fortune and the attendant b, i lal. But for him there \\ a3 cou age and a umlaut self-respect in her words, and he went away full of a great de termination to conquer Fate. If people would ou!v be romantic in real life Fred would* have painted a great picture and so won fame and fortune at a b eath, but ho didn't. He went down to his Jersey farm, found a stolid old Dutchman and his quiet wife to live iu the comfortable stone farmhouse and prepare his lood, then ho fixed up one room for his owu rest ing place, put his desk there and his easel, nailed one of Theo's slippers to the wall for a watch case and went resolutely to work as a farmer. It was not yet time for plowing, so they concluded to sink a well, as the old spriug was neat ly choked up aud the brook was not haudy to reach. Fred hlisteied his hands the first day and went to bed with them wrapped in mutton tallow, poor boy. The next day ho con d not hold a shovel, but while moodily watching the Dutchman, that worthy and usu ally most impressive functionary threw down his pick, aud,raising both hands, as if iu devout adoration of his patron saint, he exclaimed: "Mien (>ott! mieu (Sott! we haf find Franklinite!" Fred did not know if Franklinite was a buried township or the grave of a philosopher which had been dis turbed by the implements of well digging. But he learned upon inves tigation, flint ii was a kind of metal, formed by a combination of zinc and iron, Franklinite being a local name for it. Here was his SSOOO and quadrupled a liuudi ed anil thrust into his hands by the very fnte he had been bemoan ing. He could see 'l'hoe's fai e in every sliiniug particle. Theo as Mis. Fred, a happy wife and mother, a gracious matron. And there, in that dull gray ore, lay leisure hours for readiug or painting, blessings from poor people, help for struggling artists, peace and home. And Theo, with her face on his shoulder, said reverently, as Miss Charity gave them her blessing: "Truly, the power that guides us and cares for us is wiser and kindei than we know." Yarioim Method*. Sometimes the tired editor becomes sardonically humorous when answer ing the questions of an investigating correspondent. "What should a lady do when f-he wants to sneeze in church?" was the query recently ad dressed by a feminine reader to the editor of a local paper. He answered it thus: "It depends upon why the lady wants to sneeze in church. If she is young and pretty and desires j to attract the attention of some eligi ble young man, the sneeze should be gentle aud distinctive; almost any thing would produce the irritatiou of i the facial organnecessa'y to effect the | purpose.

Iu many instances, however, they but serve ou a useful little strap to catch some jaunty jacket together. In other cases they are purely orna mental. A pair of them, in one in stance, are placed at the darts of one stylish atfair, while on auother they hover down at the ends of the fanci fully-shaped Eton.

To Fi'lca*«eo a Chicken. Following are directions for fricas seeing chicken which will be found much better than the old way of cook ing this dish: Cut the fowl in small joints, then place thein with giblets in a pipkin that can be closely covered. To one good-sized chicken add a me dium-sized onion, cut in small pieces; then putin two cloves, season well with fait and pepper, and pour in a pint or more of cream or rich milk, and when it bubbles thickeu it with flour dissolved in cold milk. Just let this gravy boil one minute, then pour it over the chicken anil serve. . Some Anpp)iziiig Fruit Snup», Fruit soups are appetizing and healthful, aud offer a pleasing variety From those common to the American bill of fare. One tablespoouful of raisins, two tablespoonfuls of raw ■•ice, three whole cloves and one cup lul of dried apricots thoroughly soaked. To these add three pints ol water. The mixture is cooked about m hour, then rubbed through a sieve, find afterward half a teaspoonful ol salt and a tablespoouful of sugar added. The seasouing would depend upon the fruit. Apples, being much more acid, naturally would require considerably more sugar than the amount used for apricots. To Make flood Coffee. The latest word of those who know is that, to be perfect, coffee must never, while it is making, come in contact with any metal. For the oreakfast table, at least, it should be made 111 glass. First, buy from a depot af medical suppli s a flask of annealed glass which looks like aj ordinary water bottle. The price, 30 cents, is no great outlay considering the bottle will stand boiliug water without breaking. Then ti\e cents for a glass funnel to tit into the bottle neck aud ten cents for a dozen rouud bits of clean, coarse muslin. Coffee itself is the next thing. It is real Java, bought green of a dealer who has regard for his work, at ;j() to (>U cents the pound. It is roasted to a nicety at home, hall a pound at a time, and grouud just as it is wanted. It may go into a chased sitver-lidded 1 owl without the least harm. The water may likewise boil in a silver kettle, over a brass-mounted spirit lamp—or even on the plebian gas stove—before it comes iu sight. The one essential thing is to have it iu plenty aud freshly boiling. First pour a cup of the boiling water into the flask and turn it deftly about, heating the flask all the way up. Then pour it out, whip the funnel into the flask mouth, line the funnel with oue of the muslin rounds and put into it three heaping teaspoonfuls of the coffee. Then slowly, steadily, grace fully pour on the water, which has been kept bubbling over the spirit lamp. As it begius to drip through stir the wet coffee lightly with a tea spoon. More water goes iu as the first pouring filters through. Three spoonfuls of dry coffee ought to yield three cups of c->ffee essence. It is leally coffee esseneo which couies out of the flask. It is almost black, per fectly clear, full of coffee flavor and aroma Only the most confirmed coffee toper can drink it neat. Other folk require the cup to be half tille I with boiling water. Those who like whipped cream in it make the wator a third. Thus a single filtering will serve a considerable lea party. The muslin and the spent grounds are thrown away after each filtering. - Chicago ilecord. Hoti*elinf
