4 CINDERELLA'S SISTERS AND THE Showing How a Miss Hopeful Came Within an Ace of Playing Her Cairis ' Successfully, to the Disadvantage of Her Elders. 'T 'F ever there were two disa greeable, . hateful, tyrannical ' old molds on earth, those tiro nre my stcp-slsters. nod you kvorr It, Miss ncede." j Miss Ileade looked uncomfortable. ' "As your governess, you know, Ella, t aught not to listen to your remarks a your sisters " she began, ner- irousiy. "Step-sisters, plcnse," snnpped Elln. "Oh, Miss Kendo, If you had only been here before they came. It tvas so Bice." , "Didn't they always live here, then?" asked the governess. "Oh, dear, no. Their father died twenty yenvs ago, when Laura nnd Theodora were sis and eight years told, and when mother married a year Inter, Mr. Newton's mother took them Ho live with her. Then mother died two years ago, nnd father sn'.d I wasn't old enough to take chnrge, though 1 (was fifteen. Bo as oli Mrs. Newton bad died a year or so before, nnd lura and Theo were staying with Ihelr father's sister, father wrote nnd asked them to come here. They've taone nothing but Interfere with mo ever since they enmo. Yon haven't been long enough here to And out yet, but you will soon. The Idea of tuklng that book nwny from me." "Well, you know, Elln. denr. It Is not quite a book for young girls; but Siush I henr Miss Newton's voice. to go on practicing." The door opened, nnd a tnll, grace ful girl entered. She looked ns much Bounger than her real age as Ella looked older, and no cue would have guessed lyr to be more than twenty three or four. She looked very pale and thvre were tears In her eyes and quiver In her voice as she addressed the governess. I "Miss Ileade, I have Just had a tele gram to tell me that my aunt has ha3 a paralytic stroke. My sister and I are going to her with the next train. (Will you kindly take charge here? I will give you all directions If you will come to my room. Ella, you will ex plain to father, dear, and be kind to the little ones." t All was bustle and confusion for the next two hours, and then the sisters drove off to catch their train from the Junction. "It's to annoying," cried Major Leigh when he arrived later In the afternoon and was met In the hall by EHo. eager to tell him the news. 'Just exactly my luck. Why couldn't their aunt take 111 at some other time? What on earth shall I dot .Write and put them off, I suppose." . "Put who oft? Have you asked any body down?" asked Ella, who was ac customed to her parent's Incoherent style of conversation. "I met two friends In town to-day," explained her father, "whom I haven't een for six or seven years, and I asked them down for some shooting. I suppose I must put them off." ' ' "No need for that," answered Ella, With a toss of her head. "There are plenty of good servants, and Miss Xteade can order dinner and chnperone me. Who are your friends, father? I suppose they are qnlte old." . : "They dont think, so," said the Ma jor xrtthn'grin, 'though no doubt you dll.. .They ar some years younger than' myself, both on the sunny side of forty. It's too bad of the girls," went ton the Major, nbsently, and half for getting his auditor. ?'I always thought there was something between Dot and tAshby, and It would do very well now that be has come Into his uncle's prop erty. And Courtenay's always talking about his Ideal woman. I wonder what be'd think of Laura. Run away, Ella; I wasn't talking to you. Go and tell flss Beads I want her." Miss Reade was a weak and foolish woman,' who, being Incapable of ex ercising any control over her strong Willed pupil, managed her by means of gross flattery and unlimited Indulg ence. She was writing In her own room when Ella ran In to tell ber of the expected visitors. ; "And I shall have them all to my elf,", cried the girl, exultantly! "with Bo sisters to keep me In the back ground; no hateful Laura to look ma jestically at me if I venture to speak; no detestable Theo to snub me. I look Suite grown up, don't I. Miss Reade?" "You are grown np, dear," replied ne judicious governess. "You loo quire twenty. And seventeen Is a. mar riageable age, yon know. Wouldn't It run to steal a march on your sisters.

"If they were at borne I shouldn't ' fcsve a chance. I should be ken in th. . background; and besides, Laura Is tuinnsome ana TUeo really lovelv " "But you have the charm of youth . and your artless ways are more win ning than the finished manners of . Ella did not answer. She stood look tag absently at the window, i. ".Yisixia taSjuClnderoiia.' thinking u r asKea miss iteaue, after a pause. "Of Cinderella," answered the girl, ' xltn a little gleeful laugh. "I have a STORY OF THEIR plan, Miss Reade, and if you help me, I'll take you to live with me when I am married. I'm going to act a little comedy. I am Cinderella; Ill-treated by my step-sisters, who are old, ugly and Jealous, but I am too noble to complain. I am resigned, gentle, ever obliging." "I see. 'Pity Is akin to love.' And you think you can Interest these men by plnylng Cinderella. Well, It Is not a bnd Idea. Rut how can I help you?" "I ll tell you later. Meantime you had better go to father. I quite forgot to tell you be wants to see you." Colonel Ashby arrived next evening. Sir George Courtenny was not expect ed for a day or two, and Ella felt rather relieved. One mnn was enough to begin with. The Major mentioned casually at dinner that his elder daughters were from home, and Ernest Ashby felt a pang of disappointment. He bnd hoped to meet Dot, for he bad heard of the death of ber mother and of the sisters having gone to live with their step-father. His brief love story bad been played out one autumn In a country bouse where Dot had been visiting alone. Ashby bnd fallen vio lently In love with Dot, but although she bnd returned bis affection, their engagement was never announced, for they bad quarreled almost at once, nnd Ashby had gone abroad In a fit of temper. As soon as the Major had fallen asleep over his dinner, Ashby mnde his way to the drawing-room, where he found Miss Iteade at the piano, aud Ella prettily reposed In a window re cess. He quickly Joined the latter, and begnn to make conversation. 'You have sisters, haven't you?" he asked, after a time. "Step-sisters, and three darling little brothers." "Your sisters are from home Just now?" "Oh, yes." with an arch smile, "or I shouldn't be here." "Shouldn't you? Why not V "Oh, well"-a pause. "You see. I am rather young, and my sisters keep me In the school-room. They are very good and kind, but quite old; they think me a child." "Quite old!" be exclaimed. "Why. they cannot be. At least the one I knew cannot be much over twenty." una bit her lip In annoyance at her blunder. She had forgotten that Ash- by had known Dot. Ella hesitated a moment, then risked a daring step. "Darling Dot." she murmured. "Ah. Colonel Ashby, did you not know! Dot died two years ago." "Dot dead!" he cried, In a voice of anguish. It was over, then; his dream of reconciliation. He could never ask forgiveness now; never explain away his harsh words; never hear ber dear voice whisper pardon. "I am sorry to have distressed yon," he said, wearily, after a pause, "I had not beard of or your sister's death." Ella smiled through ber tears like an April morn. "I can't quite talk of darling Dot yet," she said, unsteadily. "We were so much to each other, and I am so lonely now she's gone." "You must be," be answered, almost tenderly. "You must miss her ter ribly." "Oh, I do," cried Ella, pressing her handkerchief to her eyes, and there was a long silence. At lost Ella looked up. "I must sny good-night now. Colonel Ashby," she said, with a little smile. "Already?" he remonstrated. "Why, It's very early. Don't go yet." "Oh, but I have such a lot to do to night," she answered, simply. Do you still do lessons, then?" "Oh, no," cried Ella, earnestly. "I am going to the nursery. Baby Bertie won't let anybody else put him to bed. And then, my sisters have left mo things to do," "Tasks?" asked Ashby. "Mending, nnd things like that. Tbcy have taken their maid with them, you see." "Rather hard lines on you. Don't they ever take you out with them?" "Oh, they are very kind," said Ella, "and they have promised to take me somewhere some day, when the boys are oia enougn to be at school and I am not so much needed at home." "Rather a distant prospect," re marked Ashby. "I'm afraid it's n case of Cinderella and. the cruel step sisters. Ella rather forgot her part next day. Her father was laid un with a suddnn fit of gout, and Miss Reade was kept busy looking after household affairs ana subduing a mutiny In the nurserr. Ella sauntered round the grounds with the Colonel, chatting gayly, and then ins'sted on rowing about on the pond, as uniiKe a nousenoia drudge as Dos- slble. This occurring to her verr forcibly, she made an effort to resume ber role. "What a nice holiday I'm havlngr she remarked, accordingly, resting on ber oars, and fixing gleeful eyes on blm. "That dear Miss Reade has un dertaken all my duties this week that I may have a comuleU rest. Isn't It sweet of her?" "Poor little woman," be rejoined they were on quite familiar terms now "it's a shame you should be so overworked, nnd I shall tell your fa ther so.", "On, no, you mustn't," cried Ella, In quick auirm. "l can't have dear fa ther worried, especially now be Is IR. You mustn't think I'm complaining. My alsters are vtry good to me. Pron Ise me yoa won't ssy anything; please promise me." "I promise, I promise," he soothed her. "I won't say a word, yon loyal little soul. It's bard lines Just now, Cinderella, but remember how the fairy tale ends, and this may end sooner than you think." "How? What no you mean?" asked the child, with Wide, Innocent eyes, and Ashby hastily changed the sub Joct, resolving to say nothing more to disturb her "heavenly Innocence." As soon ns Sir George Courtenay arrived, EUa turned her attention to him. He, at least, could not bore her about the defunct Dot Ella really wos a clever girl, and she knew that simple pathos becomes wearisome In time, so without abandoning her role of Cinderella, she kept It rather In the background, and prattled so happily and even wittily that both men were amused and fascinated by ber. So skilfully did she play her part (de veloping histrionic talent In a way thnt quite dazzled Miss Reade) that by the end of a week her success had far outstripped her wildest hopes. f.oth men had resolved to propose for her. Ella had determined to accept Courtenay. If she chose Ashby, be must Inevitably discover her decep tion about Dot, but Conrtenny hnd never met her sisters nnd could not hold ber responsible for any discrep ancies he mlgRt notice between her description of them and reality. 'I may as well own It to you, little one," he said, one nfternoon, as they strolled on the lawn, "I was engnged to your sister. It was rather a hope less affair, for I wos wretchedly poor, so we kept It 'to ourselves. Rut. a secret engagement Is an awfully trying thing, nnd I was a Jealous fool. IVe quarreled, and parted, and so and so I lost her." Ella wns silent. When she wns gone, Courtenny fell Into conversation with Miss Rende, and Ashby went Indoors. Running upstnlrs, be stumbled over a bundle which", on Investigation, turned out to be a sobbing child of tender years. "What's wrong, little one?" he asked, picking It up carefully. "Ella slapped baby," sobbed the child. "Ella did? Where Is Ella, then?" "Don't want Elln." walled the baby so heartbrokenly that Ashby felt quite touched. He was trying to console It when to his relief the nurse appeared with a flood of apologies. "I'm so sorry, sir, but I had to go downstairs for something, and Master Bertie ran after me. We're all at sixes and sevens Just now, sir, for the young Indies being away makes such a difference." Baby burst Into renewed sobs, wall Ing, "Me no want nnrsle; me want Dot Oh, me do so want Dot." "Ah, poor little man I I, too, 'do so want Dot,' " sighed Ashby. That evening the Major received a letter from Laura, Informing him that ber aunt was better and she and Dot would retnrn the following afternoon. He kept this to himself, Intending a pleasant surprise, and had himself es tablished on the lawn next day at tea time. Ella made such a pretty pic ture of filial love as she bung about ber father's chair that Courtenay made up bis mind to delay no longer, but to ask her at once to submit to be trained after marriage into his Ideal woman. So be presently asked her to come for a stroll around the lawn, and Ella, reading his purpose In his face, rose with alacrity. But alas! In the very acf of raising the costly cup to her lips It wos dnshed to the ground. At this very moment there appeared two Id dies, hastening from the bouse across the lawn to Join the party around the tea table. Ella turned white. Her father held out welcoming hands. 'The glrlB!" be exclaimed, Joyously. "Welcome home, dears!" At this momont whence, no one could tell three children dnshed across the lawn and up to the newcomers. Ut tering shouts of welcome. "Ob, sisters, we're so glad you're back!" cried the eldest. "Ella's been horrid. She's made us live In the nursery and never come downstairs." The two guests bod been looking on mystified, but as The ladles came nearer Asbby fairly gasped for breath. For the lady round whose neck baby was clinging was no other than his lost Dot. . As for Courtenay, be was stricken speechless by Laura's calm loveliness. Here at least In appear ancewas his Ideal woman. "Don't you know my daughter, Asb by?" asked the Major. "Dot, I mean." "It can't be," gasped Ashby, hoarse ly. "It Isn't possible. Dot is dead. Ella told me she died two years ago." "Dot dead," repented the Major, stu pefied. "Whaton earth do you mean?" "But there must be some awful mistake. Ella told me," faltered Ash by, and then Dot raised her eyes to his and said: "Ernest!" and he had no more doubts. Ella, meantime, had most Judiciously disappeared and her mystified father postponed Inquiries till next day. Then, however, her little brothers, who had bung about the gardens many an evening and been unsus pected witnesses to tender scenes and pathetic plaints, told enough to reveal to the astonished and wrathful Major Cinderella's little plot Some months later a double wedding took place in the village church. The bridegrooms w'ere Colonel Asbby and Sir George Courtenny, and the brides were Cinderella's sisters. New York News. ' German In Chicago Hohooll.

To the Lake street route mnny farmers object because of the street-cars. On Grand Central avenue there are two crossings of the Lnckawnnnn Railroad, ono at Hnwley street, In Elniira Heights, the other nt tho northeast entrance of Eldrldge Pnrk. These are but a short distance npnrt, and the Lnckawnnna Railroad will oppose the maintaining of so Important n thoroughfare, when two such crossings are needed. To obvlnte the lntter difficulty It has been suggested that Grand Central avenue be changed so as to follow the east line of the railroad from Hawley street, south to the pnrk, without crossing tho tracks. This proposed route wns yesterday Inspected by the Highway Committee of the Bonrd of Supervisors Cholrnmn Joliu J. Crowley,- Supervisors Crowley, Chnuilier- lain, Welles, Van Order nnd Hollernn. Tho rond, when Completed, will form a link In the great national thorough fare from New York to Chicago. The special reason given ngnlnst the use of Ornnd Central avenue Is thnt the rond Is nbout sixty fect wide be- tween the gutters, nnd while tho State mads are constructed only sixteen feet wide In tho driveway, It would be placed In the middle of the rond nnd with the soft roadway on each sldo, would bo of llttlo use to drivers. The Lake street road Is narrower, nnd It Is understood the Elmlra Water. Light nnd Rnllwny Company Is willing to set Its tracks over on ono sldo of the rond the entire distance of tho way between Elmlrn nnd Horseheads, giv ing the entire two-thirds of the roud to the macadnm driveway. Another point Is given In the state i mnnr thnt tlm fttnta finnt Tlnnrla Iiiif will not nllow the construction of one of tho State macadam roads Inside the limits of a city or vlllngc, but only In the open country. In that case the road could not be constructed through Elmlrn Heights village, but would be gin at the northern limits of Elmlrn Heights on Grand Centrnl nvenue, nnd extend only about two and a half miles to the village limits of Horsehends. If tho proposed macadnm rond is placed on Lake street, It would be extended from flie northern limits of the city of Elmlra to the Horsehends village limits, a distance of about four miles. It Is understood there Is $30,000 1ml once unused In the Stnte Good Roads Fund, which Is avatlnblc, and thnt "the powers thnt be" who ore In touch with the Stnte Government, are In favor of the Lake street road.Elmlra (N. Y.) Star. Gootl Coentry ltnacTss The Pennsylvania Rond Drivers' As soclutlon proposes to . appeal to the Legislature of Penusylvnnln to do something at this session for public rond Improvement. New Jersey, Mas sachusetts and New York have ceased to agitate for good roads and ore en Joying those already built nnd Indus trlously building more. We li.'ivo t good roads law on tho stntuto book several years old whose efficacy has never been tested becnuso Its going Into operation Is 'made contingent on the Legislature appropriating $1,000, 000 for It, and that provision has proved thus far only a good way to put it to s'eep. The Legislature of 1S90 provided for the appointment of an expert conimls slon to get data and mako a report on the general subject of good roads, and a very competent commission was ap pointed, of which President A. J. Cns att, of tho Pennsylvania Railroad was Chairman. The commission did Its work and reported at the last ses sion, with no .corresponding Tcsult In legislation. The State now Is prosper ous. It will have for Its Governor a practical farmer, who understands the economic value of good rond. It has the example of several States before ft, which have successfully grappled with the good roads problem, and It will bare tho Pennsylvania Road Drivers' Association spurring It to r.i- tlon. All this ought to result In noma practical good roads legislation. The Federal Government has built sample roads in Maryland, West Vir glnla, Ohio and North Carolina. In eo-operatlon with tho Southern I'.n'l way Company, It bns carried on campaign of education In Virginia North Carolina, Tennessee, Alnhn:r.n and Georgia. The railroad company assisted in this because of its convlc tlon tbat good roads develop the conn try round about, and It Is therefore helpful to the business of a railroad to have good country roads lending to its stations. If that idea should Hud lodgment In the breasts of the very efficient mnnngement of the Penney!. vanla Railroad there would be In creased hope for the early construc tion of Improved roads In this State. Philadelphia Press. Better Road va. Hattor School, One of the most beneficial results of road Improvement Is the facility It gives to consolidate country schools and thus concentrate our children Into central buildings, so making graded schools possible In our country dis tricts. In traveling around the State I we have noticed that where Improved i roads exist the children, by meant of bicycles, easily go long distances to ' central schools; thus graded Toads i make possible graaed schools, the un proved roads working In harmony with the Stnte education law, giving the children of the rural districts the same advantages ns those residing in cities. In one year forty-four Connec ticut towns, by means of improved ronds, were enabled to give free trans portation to a lnrge number of their pupils. Eighty-four small schools wero closed nnd 810 children rode to the central schools. The cost of trans portation wns about $12,000, but a gross amount of some $20,000 wot snved, lenvlng a net saving of some $8000. This saving wns only a small pnrt of the benefit derived, for It re sulted In a better attendance and bet ter schools. This close co-ordination between Improved ronds and educa tion ennnot be too strongly Impressed upon the public attention. Now York Tribune. CAPITOL " WHISPERING CAL'-ERY." What Camas Its Iteinarkable Peculiarity Atttuipl to Kamcdy It. The "whispering gnllery" of the old Ilnll of Representatives In tho National Cnpltol, now known ns Statuary Hall, has long been an object of Interest, and, to tho uninitiated, of curiosity In nn apparent erratic manner, but with actual mathematical accuracy, the volco of n speaker, even when uttered In a whisper, echoes with remarkable distinctness from one place to another, nnd a person stnndlng In the gnllery oh the extreme east may express a whispered remnrk, audible only nt the opposite side of the chamber 110 feet owny.

Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born In another time. As a rule of life, one finds thnt the truth lies somewhere between first Im pressions nnd final decisions.

A New Parasite. The London School of Tropical Med icine has discovered a new parasite which la the cause of a tropical fever which resembles malaria, but does not' yield to the same treatment and In generally fatal in its roBiiltv. Tho new creature does not Inhabit' the cor puscles like the malaria parasite, but Is free In the blood current, like the nlartae, which are the cauBe of ele phantiasis; and It Is either Identical with or closoly roHemblds the paraulte communicated to certain animals by the tsetBe fly. It Is descrlbod as a trlchosoma. Its discovery Is too re cent to admit of more than a bare mention, but It undoubtedly opens out a prospect' of cure In a class of cases which have hitherto proved almost ab solutely intractable, and once more denonattatee the wisdom of establish ing such a school of medical research. anaansansssr
