LOVE OR MONEY?
‘BY Ri L.
KETCHUM.
RTHUR FERRIS
was tall, blonde,
handsome, and
twenty-eight. He
was also the pos-
sessor: of ‘a long
head, inherited
from the maternal
side of the house.
He was likewise a
dutiful son.
At was the two
latter circum-
stances that had,
\ on more than one
«occasion, saved him from making a tri.
6 If it bad not
(been for his long head, it is more than
dikely that he would have fallen desper-
ately in love with that bewitching
sgoverness of the Hastings, with whom he
thad spent several weeks in the mountains
<one summer five years ago. But he had
given himself time to think, and had
fled between two days, much to his later
ssatisfaction. :
Then there was that dear little Miss
Dixon, whom he had met at the seaside.
It had been a glorious evening—that
last. They were sitting on the veranda,
“where they might see and yet be unseen.
“The soft, dreamy strains of a Strauss
“waltz floated out from the ball-room.
“There was the pale, silver light of the
_ gmoon, the murmuring ripple of the waves
won the beach—and all that sort of thing,
which you have read about so many
times. that you have learned to skip it in
Well! Elsie was going. away—too,
#00 soon. ": They had talked ia sighs and
.murmurs for half an hour; Arthur's left
Jhand clasped Elsie’s dimpled right one,
his right arm was about her waist; both
* hearts beat vigorously, as hearts will on
ssuch’ occasions, and Arthur had just
sopened his mouth to tell Elsie what she
chad been waiting for for two weeks,
when there was a step close at hand, a
_austle of skirts, and the cooirg voice of
«the maternal Ferris said: :
. “I beg gour pardons but will you
please excuses Arthur 8 few moments?
‘ “There are $hosemisgerable business affairs
that must be attended to in time for the
date mail.”
And thus was he saved a second time,
“for Elsie had not a cent, and neither had
he—at least, not many of them. There
were several other occasions when his
«wn long head, or his mamma's, had
helped him out—for Arthur was some-
«what susceptible. But it i8 not of these
1 have to tell. :
His time, had come. The in-every-
«vay-desirable young person had pre:
«sented herself. True, she was not so
young as she had been; but, then, that
was a mere trifle. She was just his cwn
age, of as good a family as his own, and
«an heiress of considerable degree. She
was not—well not exactly handsome, and
was rather inclined to what is politely
«called plumpness; but Arthur's mamma
and Arthur's lorg head gave their ap-
proval—and Arthur did not care who she
_ amight be, so long as she possessed the
above qualifications, particularly the one
involving a very neat fortune in her own
wight.
Besides, Arthur was getting a bit des-
perate. In fact, he had so far exceeded
his own salary and the maternal allow-
ance (which, by the way, was as large as
Mrs. Ferris could afford), that nothing
«hort of a miragle, or a matrimonial alli-
ance such as he had been so long seek—
ing, could save him from getting into
«ery deep water.
And thus it came to pass that this
wyinter found him engaged to Miss Ber-
mice Field, much to the satisfaction of
#pis mother, who was wisiting in: New
“York, and to whom he had, like the
dutiful son he was, sent the gratifying
~qews at once. : :
| He was disappointed, however, on one
point. = He had pleaded artfully for an
«carly wedding, but Miss Field had. set
her foot down with much firmness and
«said he must go through a long proba-
itionary period—all of which Arthur
failed to understond.
#been noted for his persuasive powers,
sand had flattered himself that Bernice,
vith ber gentle, clinging, bud-like ways,
-ayould succumb at onee.
Now, be it known that Miss Bernice
Field had not arrived at years of discre-
ation for nothing. Neither had she, a
aot unprepossessing yeung person, with
mearly a half-million in her own right,
assed through the experiences of ten
sBeasona without gathering unto herself
much krowledge of the ways and wiles
"of wicked man, She had had, as might
have been expected, coffers to a high
number; but, thus far, tne gentlemen
«concerned had failed—Dby reason of their
wnanimous desire to touch her purse—to
‘touch, in the first place, the all-import-
"ant key to it, which was hidden away in
. ther bosom. And, Miss Bernice Field
was worldly-wise in her day and genera-
tion.

If any one had told Ferris that he wus
just now in a very shaky position, he
would have scoffed. His chum, Ed
Cross; who was spending the winter at
thé house during Mrs. Ferris's' absence,
had once suggested that ‘‘there’s many
a slip,” but Arthur merely shied a shoe
at him, and whistled serenely.
It was in this frame of mind that, one
evening in February, he ran lightly up
the steps of the Field mansion to call on
her whom Cross unfeelingly referred. to
as his ¢‘little lady-love.” It was warm,
and the front door stood ajar. . The
little footman was not in his accustomed
knew just where he was going, stepped
inside. From the open door of Papa
Field’s study came the sound of voices
in earnest discussion, and one of them
spoke his own name.
He halted, irresolute, as would any
one else under like circumstances. Papa
Field was speaking:
«Of course, my dear, you are your
own mistress, and I can only advise you.
It seems to me, however, that you have
done a very foohsh thing to engage
yourself to this young Ferris. = True, he
seems an exemplary young fellow, and
he comes of an excellent family; but it
is well known that he has only a small
allowance from the estate in addition to
a beggarly two thousand dollars’ salary.
How do you know it is you, and not
your money that he wants? It is a brutal
question, I know, but it is one you have
| probably asked of yourself a half-dozen
times, concerning? other young men.”
Arthur, out in the hall, standing in
much the same attitude a child assumes
when speaking its first ¢‘piece’ in school,
winced, but waited for the answer. It
came, in serious, thoughtful tones,which
indicated’ plainly that Miss Bernice, also,
had considered this very matter.
«N-no, I am sure you misjudge him,
papa. Of course I understand how he is
situated financially, and—and all that.
But I am sure he is honest and honor-
able, and that he—he cares for me very
much. There is a thousand ways by
which I can learn much that you cannot,
and—" Ed RE
“Yes, yes; I understand. But sup-
pose you should put him to the test; do
you think he would come through—ah—
er—unacathed, ag it were? Suppose you
should tell him that I had lost all your
money and mine in unfortunate specula-
tion—that we were beggars, and had not
a dollarwe could call our own? Are
you afraid to try him!” a
There was a brief silence. Thene

but it would be only a ‘white lie,’ and

out if I call to-night. I might give my-
self away too. Better have time to get
my speech prepared.” And this astute
‘young man went 1m and proceeded to
make himself comfortable.
The next evening, with his usual light
heart and good spirits, he rang the door
bell of the Field mansion. Yes, Miss
Field was in, Peter said. Ferris went
into the drawing-room and sat down,
running rapidly over in his mind the
various tender speeches he had prepared
for the emergency. Bernice was a long
time coming, be thought, for one who
expected him.
Presently she entered—slowly—heavi-
ly. Her head bent low over her bosom,
and her breath came short and fast.
Ferris went forward to meet her, his
arms outstretched. He was something
of an actor himself, and he knew it.
«Bernice! Darling! What is the
trouble with my little girl?” (Another
good stroke. Miss Field liked to be
called *‘little.”)
«Oh, Arthur, Arthur! I don’t know
how to tell you. It is too dreadful!
Papa—"’ :
“What!
«Oh, no, not that; but—but worse!
Arthur, we are—beggars!”
And Miss Field, delivering these last
words with wonderful impressivenessy
hung her head and. sobbed bitterly be-
hind her lace handkerchief. :
Then it was that Ferris, like the young
man of action that he was, put his arm
as far round his tearful fiancee as possi-
ble, and, with some difficulty ledher to
a seat and pulled her head down on his
glossy shirt frent.
He was very, verysorry, as she must
know. But-it was nothing. Her father
would recoup himself—he had many in-
fluential friends. As for her, had she
not him—her Arthur? He would not,
he once interrupted her to say, permit
him. No, never!

An hour or so later, a young man,

reflecting on the vagaries of chance and
his own good luck. -

sneczed in the hall—if—

The Argonaut.
In an Indian School.
Some of the Indian parents are very
proud of their ehildren’s progress, and
on beef-issue days visit the schools, and
listen with great satisfaction to their
children ' speaking in ‘the unknown
tongue. There were several in «ge of
the school-rooms while I was there, and
the teachers turned them out of their
chairs to make room for us, remarking
pleasantly that the Indians were accus-
tomed to sitting around on the ground.
She afterwards added to this by telling
us that there was no sentiment in her,
aud that she taught Indians for the fifty
dollars there was in it. The mother of
one of thelittle boys was aiready crouch—
ing on the floor as we came in, or squat-
ting on her heels, as they seem to be able
to do without fatigue for any length of
time. During the half hour we were there
she never changed her position or turned
her head fo look at us, but kept her eyes
fixed only on her Son sitting on the bench
above her. He wasa very plump, clean,
and excited little Indian, with his hair
cut-short, and dressed in a very fine pair
of trousers and jacket, and with shoes
and stockings. He was very keen to
show the white visitors how well he knew
their talk, and read his book with a
masterful shaking of the head, as though
it had no terrors for him. His mother
kueeling at his side on the floor wore a
singie garment, and over that a dirty
blanket strapped around her waist with
a beaded belt. Her feet were bare, and
her coarse hair hung down over her face
and down her back almost to her waist in
an unkempt mass. She supported her
chin on one hand, and with the other
band, black and wrinkled, and with
nails broken by cutting wood, and har-
nessing horses, and plowing in the
fields, brushed her hair back from befors
her eyes, and then touched her son’s arm
wistfully, as'a dog tries to draw his mas-
ters eyes, and as though he were some-
ithing fragile and fine. But he paid no
| attention to her. whatsoever; he was very
much interested in the lesson. She was
the only thing I saw in the school-room.
I wondered if she was thinking of the
days when she carried his weight on her
back as she went about her cooking or
foraging for wood,or swung him from a
limbrof a trée, and of the first leather
leggings she made for him when he was
able to walk, and of the necklace of elk
teeth, and the arrows which he used to
fire bravely at the prairie-dogs. He was
a very different child now, and so very
far away from the doglike figure crouch-
ing by his side and gazing up patiently
into his face, as if looking for something
she had lost.—Harper’s Weekly.
Why It is Called ‘Key West.”
Unlike -too many of our American
cities, Key West has a history and its
name a meaning. The first I will not re-
hearse, for some version of it, false or
true, may be found in any encyclopedia,
but the latter I will give in order to cor-
rect a common error. Many people im-
agine that the name has something to do
with the geographical position of the is-
land. On the contrary it is a corruption
of the words Cayo Hueso (Bone Islands)
and was so called because the Indians of
the coast islands and those of the main-
land were of different tribes and con-
stantly fighting, and the Island men hav-
ing been driven from one Key to an-
other, finally made a desperate stand
here, but it. was of no avail, and their
bones were left to whiten on the sands
and give a name to the Key.
Ever since Florida came into the pos-
‘session of the United Statcs Key West
has been looked upon as a point of some
strategic importance, and there have
been desultory attempts to fortify and
occupy it as a military post. Troops
were tirst stationed here in 1824, and in
1845 work on Fort Taylor was begun,
but never completed. The fort, how-
ever, was occupied, in its incomplete
condition, from 1861 to 1865. At pres-
‘ent the lonely echoes of the “immense
structure respond only to the footsteps of
its solitary keeper, or to the inquiring
voice of some wandering tourist.—3t.

Strange Gautemalan Indians.
‘Speaking of the peculiar customs of
the people of Gautemala,” Vice-Consul
Chandler remarked, ~¢‘almost all the
freight 1s carried on the backs of In-
dians with us, the average load being
about 200 pounds, and a day's journey
for one of these natives thus loaded
about twelve leagues or thirty-six miles.
The strange thing about it is that on the
return journey, if the porter cannot get
a load to earry back, he fills his pack or
sling with’ stones. This is to keep his
balance, for, having become used to a
forward leaning position under his usual
load, he cannot make such rapid progress
without some burden...’ Furthemore, so
safe is the country down there that a bag
containing $1000 in: silver can be sent
with absolute secur.ty on the backs of

Dainty Night Dress.
The prettiest thing in the way of a robe
de nuit that we have seen in some time isa
dainty combination of white silk, valen-
ciennes lace and pale pink ribbon.
It is more in the nature of a charming
negligee rather than a dream robe. Princess
in shape, it is made with a slight train, a
tiny ruffle of the silk, and two puffs just
above it adorn the edge. The back is made
with a Watteau plait, and a wide shirred
yoke and high collar give it a very graceful,
swan-like appearance, even minus the fair
wearer. The sleeves are full and finished
with two puffs and a tiny ruffle, the same as
on the skirt. Down the front a full jabot of
the lace falls in graceful folds, and here and
there the delicately tinted ribbon nestles in
the filmy trimming. Bows of the same are
on the inside of the sleeves,and a sash effect
is produced by long ends starting from the
plait in the back and lying in large.graceful
loops in front.

OHIO DEMOCRATIC STATE CON-
. VENTION.
Election of Delegates to Chicago. Nomi-
nation of State Tickst, The Plat-
form in Full.
Corvyeus, 0.—On calling thé convention
to order Chairman James A. Norton of the
central committee referred #8 the work of
convention, which was the selection of dele-
gates to Chicago and which he said should
be done with the greatest fairness. His
mention of the name of Cleveland 'wasre-
ceived with much enthusiasm, which grew
as he reached the names of Hill, Whitney,
Gorman and others. When the speaker
reached the name of Gov. Campbell in the
list of Ohio candidates the convention as-
sumed a wild scene of demonstration. The
applause continued for several minutes, giv-
ing stormy evidence that the ex-governor
had a big following in the convention.
After routine business, the con-
vention selected four delegates-at-
large to the Chicago convention. Ex-Gov-
ornor Campbell, Senator Brice, Robark
Blee, of Cleveland, and Lawrence T. Neat
were those agreed upon,’ the first two al-
most unanimously, and the latter after a
close contest.
The following is the ticket nominated:
For Secretary of State, W. A, Taylor,
Franklin county; for Judge Supreme Court,
(long term) Judge John 8. Briggs, Monroe;
(short term,) Judge Thomas Beers, Craw-_
