Mot; rough h ad
made his pilo n a
hpeculutor, prin
cipally in "rails,"
but he still BiiniHod
himself by dealing
Tiow nnd n?ain to
tho extent of $1,
00), (ion or so, al
though for gen
eral i.usiiift-s he
bad practically re
tired from 'Change. Ho wan a wid
ower, with na only daughter, Miss
I'hyllis Monrough, ngod twenty u
line, haudnjino blonde, who had taken
up tho htudy of science.
I'hyllis hud, of course, heaps of of
fers, eligible and otherwise, but she
bad not met the nuiu whom hho eared
to innrry, and, at her urgent desire,
Ler fntlit r had sent ,lier to co'.lcgo to
cnablo her to pursue In r studies.
She went to tho college with a mind
fully miiilo up to devote her life to
Hcionoe nnd to abjure matrimony. In
-s s' - herself put it, she bad
'".li t nud thrown the
liocKcrion, who was ntu iy uj m
tb( re.
Y'r.unrj r.ockr rton cumo from a good
family, was rich, good lookiug and in
every way eligible ; but when Phyllis
wrote to her "papa" informing him
of her tender passion nud nskiii:,' his
consent to hei engagement, ehe re
ceived i telegram ' (ho was so urgent
that he would not wait lor the post to
carry Ins refusal) :
"No. Come home nt once."
Phyllis hud ho rarely been denied
anything that he was angry, nston
ishe l.dunibrounde.l, brokenhearted all
nt onee. No mere words can neeurnte
ly (iewribo In r feelings. However,
there was no h lp for it. She unist
ob.'y. And h'o, niter an iiiti rview with
hi r lover, iu which thev vowed eternal
nttachtiK :it, hho precipitately threw
up In r studies und her newly found
Lopes of bliss and returned to New
York.
Her father received her kindly, but
with a firm set countenance, which she
knew from her ob-ervation of his deal
ings with others iulicated that bis
miud was made up, nud that Uothing
could niter it.
She, of course, burst into tears to
begin with. J!ut it made uo visible
tlTect ou her parent.
"My dear Phyllis," ho Raid, "you
cannot imagine how it pains mo to be
obliged to run counter to your de
hire?, but when I have explained mut
ters to you, I hope you will agree with
mo und give up the idea of marrying
this young llockerton."
"When I was a lad my father bad a
farm out West, the adjoining farm to
which belonged to Poilph Piockerton,
tho grandfather of tho young man you
have met.
'I need not go into details; it will
Bullion for you to know that my father
nud old Hockerton had a bitter quarrel,
till 1 that a feud uroso between the two
fiuniliis which cau uever be healed.
"I would rather see you in your
coffin," ho added, melodramatically,
"than cee you the wife of one of that
brood."
"Hut, pnpn," urged Phyllip, "it is a
very loug tiuio ago, nnd 1 dou't think
that a quarrel hetweeu my grandfather
nud bis grandfather should bo any
reason wby Geo I mean Mr. Piocker
ton should unt be a good husband to
me. Ho is rich, I've always done as
you've wished, aud now, when I feci
that my life's happiness is at stake,
you make this stupid objection."
She sobbed afrosb, but her tear
were thrown away on her obdurato
parent, bo fehe tried to cross-examine
him on tho subject of tho quarrel.
"It must have been a very dreadful
quarrel, papa, for you to harbor re
venge all these years. Tell me moro
about it. If my life ia to bo blighted,"
she said, sighing deeply, "I should
liko to know it."
Mr. Monrough felt himself getting
into a cornor with his daughter wiles
and tears, and he got a bit angry."
"It would be of so use," be replied
shortly; "my mind is irrevocably
made up. But I may say that, as was
common in those days, the quairol led
to fighting, and until your grand
,inu, rei,;h i..,ir.an...T .i.nntUn if.' riigh nnnn i(n( kni)?! bnfftra
either family took every opportunity
of trying to take the life of Rome mem
ber of tho other. After father's death
we told the farm and came I'nst, and
ro the enmity ceased octirely ; but I
could never consent to your mnrrying
into that bated family never !"
"Rut, papa," insiMed the girl,
"what wbh it about ? What led to the
quarrel ?"
"It was about a strca.n, my dear,
which ran between the two estates.
Old llockerton insisted that the water
was all on his land, whereas it was the
boundary, nnd we had the right on
one side of the stream and bo ou tho
other. But it really distresses me to
lliink about that dreadful time, when
for two win do yenr 1 walked about
with my life in r.iy baud, bo to speak.
I beg that you w ill a v no nioru ou the
subject."
"Well, just oue question, patm,"
nsked Phyllis, with nn ye to future
coiitingeiicies. "Va any one killed."
"No. No one was killed," answered
Mr. Monrough; "but your prnud
father was Miot in the arm, and I never
can forgive them never ! never!"
Her father then insisted on her
promising him that she would not
marry without Jus consent, which Mie
i. 1 readily i noti?), but hho mw it was
nudes nryuiii!; with him any further,
and for the time the matter ended.
It soon became evident to Mr. Mon
rough that l'hvllis w:is really trotting
nnd making herself ill about "that
confounded fellow Itoekei ii n,"' ns he
paid to himself. Ho whs a nnin of
action, and dete rmined to (jive her a
thoroti'.'li change.
"I'hyllis, my girl," be siid the nest
morning nt breakfa-t, "How would
yon like to 2o to Kngland for a bit?"
"Oh, papa!'' hhi i xc'.aime.l, with
tbo tno-t brilliant look on In r face
that be had se oj tiiero for a long time.
"That would be delightful. You know
I've always wanted to go across ami
see the Oid World. Put ea:i voil hparo
the time?"
"Well, no, my girl, I can't just
now," ho npli.-d. "i n'u obliged to
remain here for a time, as I have a
speculation on which re.piires my
presence on the spot; but Mrs. Laker
ing is going over by the n xt Cun
nrdtr, and hho would chaperon you to
your uncle's in Matiehesti r, where
you could stay and amuse youreh' till
I arrived, which probably would lie in
about three mouths."
So it was settled ; and. the following
week, I'hyllis (having first iutormc I
young Hockerton, with whom she
kept up a secret correspondence, of
her departure and her dehtitiatiou)
topped ou board the mail steamship
un ler the care of hi r la ly friend aud
' .-ourse i'.irived at her uncle's iu
cbesti r.
e was warmly received by bet
;h1i relatives. ?dr. Thomas Spun

trade iu Manchester, h tut resided nt
Jiirkdii'e, going backward and forward
to bis business, ho that she had the
benelit of tho hen air. What with that,
aud her voyage over, aud her new sur
roundings, hlie ij a very hhort time
resumed her old lieuithy look-, and, ns
Mr. Spnudcr wrote to Mr. Monrough,
".-die t eemed to have entirely forgotten
her love ufl'iiir. "
She also, (if course, frequently wrote
to her father. In one of her letters
she uii.l :
"I urn awfully comfortable here.
Kveryl'o.ly seems to do everything
possible to make nn happy. I'ncie

would think, and he plays tenuis

morro.v." "Lm !" rellec.ted old Monrough, ns
he read this letter. "That's more like
it, now!"
Phvllis had been iu Knglaud fortwo
months mi. I everything bad settled
down quietly, when Mr. Mourougb
was electrified one morning to receive
u cablegmm from her:
"(ieorgo 1ms mono all tlio way frun en),
lefe. Wants to marry me iuiiiiw li'ntely. Do
consent an 1 niaku nm happy. 1'un.i.is."
"Weill this beats all !" murmured
Mr. Monrough, us be Mare. I at the
message. "He must have fallen very
deeply in love with her, indeed. Oh!
I consent. But how ubout the settle
ment? I suppose that Tom Spnuder
reckons ou my doing what is right,
nnd so 1 will. I wish 1 could get over,
but I'm stuck fast with that specula
tion for another mouth. It might lose
mo a million if I left it, and I can't
afford thut. Well, hero goes!"
Aud ho sent this reply telegram:
'Ii jii't nn l'T.taii 1 tlio hurry, hut I eon-
eni. Aia very ileasei. Vtmli every ha

Tell lies, (.allien leavo hero tor a mouth,

"ilvXlloco.',
Ten duys after this message, on tho
morning of the arrival of the Cunard
hteamsbip nt New York, Mr. Monrough
was sitting iu his private ollico when
tho door opened and in walked his
daughter, lenniug on the arm of a
very well-set-up young man of
course, her husband.
The old man jumped tip.
"Well, this is a surprise I" he shout
ed. "What on earth made you in such
a hurry to get married? Ah, well, I
was young myself onee, and I know
when I fell m love with your mother
I was iu a deuoe of a hurry to get
inarrieu.
"Oh, pnpa," murmured Phyllis, as '
she threw her arms round his neck '
and kissed bim. "It was so kind oil

Well," said Ueorge, f 'that's true;
The elder man started at this obser
vation, he couldn't understand the ap
plication of. However, he passed it
over.
"Well, Oeorgo, my boy," he said,
as he shook his hand in a hearty grip,
"I'm truly glad to have you for a son-in-law.
And, how's your father?"
"Mr father?" echoed George. "ITe'i
been dead this ten years or more !"
"What docs all this mean?" cried
Mr. Monrough, in amazement. "Am
I mad, or what is it? You've just left
your fntbrr, my brother-in-law, Tom
Spnnder, in England, haven't yon?l'
Phyllis threw np her arms, and, with
a wild shriek, foil down on the thick
est part of the soft fur rug that lay be
fore tho fireplace, in what appeared
to bo a dead faint.
Tho two men bent down at the same
time to nttend to her, and bumped
their heads togothcr, and everything
was confusion.
"My name's not Fpander," said
fJcorge, hurriedly, as ho rubbed his
bead with oue band and supported
Phyllis with his diseuaaged arm.
"My name's llockerton, and I went
nil tho way from college in America to
Encland. to secure your daughter."
The pen refuses to record Mr. Mon
rcugh's forcible language when he was
thus suddenly male acquainted with
the fact that he bad given his consent
to his daughter's marriage with tho
son of tho family to which ho bad
sworn deadly hatred, and tho very
man ho had before rofuscd, while all
the time hn had thought Phyllis was
mnrrying Oeorgo Sounder, his brother-in-law's
son.
For about flvo minutes the plaeo
would liar. liy hold him, and his anger
was such that he took no mentis to re
store bis daughter, leaving her new
found husband to "bring her round"
ns best he could.
However, by tuotimo he bad roaro.l
himself out of breath, he saw the fu
tility of bis further opposition or re
sentment; and, like the good business
man that be was, ho veered round and
met the wind ns it blew.
"Weill well!" bo said, "I've been
done! But what's done can't bo
helped."
He thentnrnol to assist I'hyllis,
but by u strange coincidence that
young lady bad just "cotno to," and
in a bur-t of hysterical tears, begged
forgiveness for tho little "misunder
standing." "I forgive you, you little witch,"
her fother cried. "But I have my
sipieious about the 'mistiuderstaud
iag."' And Mr. Monrough has never teen
able to decide in his own mind wheth
er it was accidental or of "malico pre
pense" on Phyllis's part that tho "mis
understanding" occurred. He has, on
severa! occasions, tackled his daugh
ter ou tho subjectbut s has always
managed most skilfully '
:uest:cu, and tw elw and
are the happiest couple imaginable,
and Oeorgo "is not such a bad chap
after all," Mr. Monrough has long
hiuco ccaod to inquire further into
it, and has also, of course, "buried
tho hatchet" with tho Houkcrton fam
ily. Tit-Bits.
Tlic Wizard Willi the Whip.
A decided sensation has been created
in Vicuna by a man who probably
stands alone in the world in bis par
ticular line of performance. This
gentleman's name is Piskslng aud ho is
an Austro-Htingariau by birth. Ho
is an expert, or, rather, a phenomenal
artist in the use of the whip.
The tirst thing ho does is to take a
long-lashed, stoutdiaudled whip iu
each band, nud, with orchestral nc
compnniuient, proceed to crack or
sun)) them at a terrific rate. The
hound made by his whips iu this man
lier is graduated from a noiso like a
rillo report to tho toft disk o a bill
iard ball. It makes a curious sort of
music, and ecrves to show bow ho cau
rcgu'ato tho force of each stroke.
Moro interest, however, is evinced
when ho seizes a vieious-lookiug whip
with an abnormally long lush. It is
provided with a very heavy handle of
medium length. This is his favorite
toy, and what be can do with it is
really wonderful. He first givos an
idea of what fearful force there lies in
a whip lash in the hands of an expert.
A large frame, over which is
stretched a calf or sheep skiu, is
brought on the stage. This is marked
with dots of red paint. The mau with
the whip steps uo, nud swinging the
lash round his bead lets fly at the calf
skin. With every blow ho aotually
pulls a piece right out from tho
leather, leaving a clean out hole.
These pieces are distributed among
the audience to show that .there is uo
trickery about tho performance. Af
ter this he takes a frame with three
shelves. On these thero are a dozen
or moro of moJium-sized apples lying
very closo together aud provided with
large numbers. Auyoue in the audi
ence may designate which apple he
wishes struck, nod the unerring lash
snatches it out like a flash. '
A still moro dilllcult feat is tho
snapping of coins from a narrow
necked bottle, A piece of silver
about the size of half a crown is put
over the cork of the bottle, whieh
stands on the edge of a table. The
whip artist, without appearing to take
any sort of aim, sends the long lash
whizzing through the air and picks off
the coin without jarring the bottle,
much less breaking it. Tit-Bits.

TEV PEBANCE MEWS AND NOTES.
The (set that there are drunkards Is proof
that moderate driakinK is not snfo.
Does it pay the State to bang oue citizen
because another oitlsnn sells him liquor?
The consumption of lutoxientiug liquors
In New Zealand Is decreasing vear by year.
One dollar for religion and Qvh hundred
for rum Is about the ratio in this day ot
modern clvllizntiou.
It does not pay to have fifty workinij men
ragged in order to huve one saloon keeper
dressed in broadcloth aud Hush with mouey.
The suloon produces the grand majority
ot the paupers, nnd then the sober people ot
the community huve to support the product.
It does not pay to have ten smart, active,
intelligent boys transformed Into thieves iu
order to eunble one mun to lead un easy lite
by selling liquor to them.
Dr. Nunsen, who Is auid to bave found tho
North Pole, bus put himself on record as be
ing opposed to the use by aretio expeditions
ot intoxicntlug liquor iu any form.
Gilbert, the man who paid tho peualty of
bis crime on the soafTold, iu Dostuu, recent
ly, publicly declared in bis latest utterance
that liquor was the cause of bis downfall.
"Show me the child," said a woman lec
turer the other day, "and I will tell you the
habits of the father." Hhe's right, the drink
