[ Oopyrlgbt.^ B9 ', by fact," returned her brother, coolly, "but what are you going to do about it?" The young man was lying in a ham mock, swung at the end of the piuzza; his sister was seated near him, in a rocking-chair, which she kept in vigor ous motion, as though thereby trying to accentuate her remarks concerning the letter she held in her hand. A boy, about sixteen years of age, was lounging on the steps, with a novel before him, but the contents of thai epistle had apparently taken away his interest in the story, for he was not reading. "You surely are not surprised, Ger trude," continued the occupant of the hammock. "I have been noticing for some time the care father took in his toilet, when he went out on busi ness. Business/" laughing derisively; "my stern parent never fooled me much. I thought ho was goiug a-woo ing." "Ilut an old maid, Jim!" said his sis ter. "A woman probably full of freaks and fancies. It is all very well for you and Harold, but 1 have to be with her, at home, all the time." "Onlj' three months, my dear," re turned Jim. "Remember my future brother-in-law comes home to-day, and that you will soon bo a blushing bride. Rather a bad day for his re turn, though," he added, looking over the hammock at the landscape before him, half hidden by the heavy veil of rain. "I do not think I ever knew it to pour harder." "Yes," assented Gertrude, medita tively. "That is my one consolation. If it were not for Dick, I would go out and hunt for the position of a governess to-morrow —" ("Which'you would be quite incapa ble of filling," interpolated her brother, sotto voce.) "For I haven't the patience to put up with an old maid's quips and cranks.* "Pshaw!" said Ilarold, who had not yet spoken, "I think an old maid far preferable to a widow. She will prob ably be so grateful to father for marry ing her that she will behave very de cently. Generally an old maid's chief fault is romancing about her former of fers, and Mrs. Foster will probably not do that, now she lias really had one." "That is so," chimed in Jim. "Where as a widow is alwaj's resurrecting her dear defunct, whenever his substitute does anything to displease her. Oh! undoubtedly, things might be worse." "Yes," returned Gertrude, "but how cau a man with a heart fall in love again so soon, anyway?" "Maybe she was his first love, from whom he was separated by a misunder standing." said Harold, putting his hand over his heart sentimentally. "Hello! The rain has stopped—and there comes a livery stable carriage. How dramatic! Rain stops. Enter hero! Come along, Jim, we'would not be here to embarrass the greetings of two young and loving hearts." lie dis appeared through the door while Jim slowly followed, in his lazy, languid way, saying: "Tell Dick 1 will see him at Bupper." By this time the carriage had en tered the gates and was coming rapidly up the long avenue that led to the house. The Fosters prided themselves on their well-kept grounds, espeeially the drive from the lodge gate to the house, which was bordered on either side by maple trees. - They gave a delightful shade during the summer months, and their gorgeous foliage in the fall made the Fostei place the glory of the neighborhood. Rut neither Richard nor Gertrude thought of the maples as he was driv ing under them that afternoon. He had been abroad two years his only thought was that, at last, he was really to be with his fiancee once more, while she forgot her father's second marriage in the joy of seeing her lover aguin. Hut, after they had been together ar hour or two, Gertrude remembered the letter, and her face fell. "Oh, Dick!" she said, "father is married again. 1 received a note just a few miuutes before you caine, telling me about it. Ho said he should bt home in a few days, and wanted me t< havo everything done to make her home-coming pleasant." Dick looked grave—then replied "Well, it will be only for a little time but," cheerfully, "I will take you away, right off, if you like." Gertrude laughed. "Oh! I guess I car support her presence a few weeks, but isn't it dreadful—for a man to get mar ried a second time?" "Awful," he returned, with convic tion. Then, after a second's pause: "1 mean as a rule; of course there are ex ceptional cases. That reminds me," ht added, "you havc % heard me speak of my Aunt Marion?" "The aunt who, you say, has re- > deemed the race of old maids in your estimation?" asked Gertrude. "The same," he answered. "Well, ! mother wrote me some time ago that she was going to he married. I sup pose 1 shall hear all about it to-night, when Igo home. You know," he con tinued, "a great many years ago Aunt Marion fell in love. She \yas boarding in the country at the time, and, al- , though he reciprocated her affection, they had not confessed their mutual attachment, when her dearest friend came to board at the same place. This young lady also was fascinated by the ! same gentleman, and began to think ' |iow sb § could_ supplant my aunt in his estimation. She had recourse to strategy; -told numberless falsehoods to belli of them, and managed, iu a short space of time, to provoke a quarrel be tween them. "Aunt Marion was very proud and sensitive, sought no explanation from her whilom admirer, trusted her friend, and lost her lover. "In a year or two she heard of their marriage, which opened her eyes a lit tle, and caused the girlish friendship to be broken off. Two years ago she received a letter from this woman, who, it seems, was dying, confessing the whole truth. She also left an ex planation for her husband, which he found when she was dead. After awhile, Aunt Marion acceded to the widower's repeated entreaties to bo allowed to call—and in a few months they were engaged. I guess my prospective uncle made the other woman a good husband, but he did not really love her, for his wife wrote that he had never forgotten his first love, and only married her in grat itude for the sympathy and tenderness she showed when telling how my aunt had deceived him. I think," continued Richard, "that I would never have made known the truth, if I had been in her place. Hut I suppose the voice of conscience gets very loud in the pres ence of death. It was a tardy repara tion, though." "Dick, what is your aunt's name?" asked Gertrude, abruptly. "Why the same as my mother's," he answered, somewhat astonished at the question; "Moore. Marion Moore. Pretty name, isn't it?" he added. "Too pretty to change, I think. Why, Gertie, what is the matter?" For the girl had grown deathly white, and did not seem to hear his last remark. "Nothing," she said, at last, making an effort to recover her self-possession, "only your aunt is—my stepmother." "What!" ejaculated Richard, "Aunt Marion your stepmother! It cannot be —and yet—l never knew her lover's name, never heard it. Is that her name, Gertie? Are you sure?" "Here is my letter; you can read for yourself," she answered, faintly. He saw there was no mistake and won dered how in the world ho could recall his words. "I am sorry, Gertie," he said, at last "Of course you know I never would have told you had I dreamed of such a thing. I dare say I exaggerated. I never heard Aunt Marion say anything \bout it All my information came WATCHED TIIE CARRIAGE D RIVED OWN THE AVENUE, from her sisters, who did not like your —her friend. Just forget all about it, Gertie." Gertie was weeping as if her heart would break, but as ho finished speak ing she handed him her ring without looking up. "What is that for?" asked Richard, aghast "I did not mean tor~liurt you; surely, you are not going me like that, when I offended so uninten tionally?" "No," sobbed Gertiude, "it isn't that, ouly I shouldn't think you would want to marry the daughter of such a mother." Richard laughed, as he took the ring and placed it on Gertrude's finger again. "What a silly child you are!" he said fondly. "It wouldn't make any differ ence to me if every relative you had was in the penitentiary. You would uot be responsible for their sins. Re sides, I suppose your mother thought she had every right to try aud win your father. lie ivas not engaged to my aunt, you Icfitnv, and, they, say, all is fair in love and war. So think no more about it—and we will never mention it again." Gertrude never did mention it again, but she thought about it many times; and when Mr. Foster brought his wife home, he found everything arranged to his liking. lie hud said to her: "The boys will be all right, and if Gertrude does not treat you well lot me kifow." "Never, James," replied Mrs. Foster, "for you might be tempted to tell her the history of the years that are gone, and children should reverence their mother's memory, which I doubt if she could do, knowing all." Hut there was no troublo. Gertrude treated her stepmother with the utmost respect and courtesy, and behaved in such away that Mrs. Foster actually dreaded the girl's wedding day. As she watched the carriage that con tained her nephew and his .bride drive down the maple avenue, now re splendent in its autumnal coloring, she sighed—then turned toward her bus- ! band, who was standing near. "I never thought to havo loved Louisa's child so well," she said. Stub Kntltf of Thought. With some of us hope never comes to the full bloom. The tears that come easy go easy. Trust is the strongest link in the j chain of association. Not one time in a million aro a man's tears dishonest; what may be said of a woman's is different.

WOMEN IN THE TREASURY. 1 'lll ir Efficient Work u.x Clerk*, Account, j niits, and Counterfeit Detector*. | A little over thirty years ago not one vvom.in was employed in the United States treasury. To-day there are six thousand women on the roll. Then Gen. Spinner was treasurer. He had been a banker, and as such had discov ered that his daughter could trim bank notes better than the clerks could. He accordingly suggested to Gov. Chase, then secretary of the treasury, that u woman be allowed to try her hand at the government's shears. He selected Miss Jennie Douglass, who was both brawny and bright, and gave her a pair of shears that would cut the length of a sheet with a blow. One day's work settled it, and the male clerjss employed in clipping bank notes gave place to women. With this suc cess to encourage him Gen. Spinner, in October, 180:2, secured the nomination of seven women as money counters. Two of these are still employed in the treasury. The women detectors of burnt and counterfeit money are claimed to be the most expert in the world. This is the most unquestioned reputation of Mrs. W. A. Leonard and Mrs. E. G. Drown. According to phrenologists, form, col or. and distance are strongly developed in Mrs. Leonard. The record shows that this unrivaled counterfeit detector has handled in three years *2,000,000,- 000. In one day no less than *12,000,(\)0 passed through her hands. From *200,- 000 to *400.000 is the daily average. Ab though Mrs. Leonard has been married a second time during her treasury serv ice, she was not allowed to resign, be cause she was considered "invaluable." In 1875 Mrs. Brown began counting fractional currency, but when the iden tification of burnt money became a sep urate department she was made its chief. After money has been identific ' by a detector and paid by the govern ment the detector must bear any loss which lias been sustained through her mistake. Mrs. Brown's infallibility may be judged from the fact that, dur in r her whole thirty years of service, she has had to refund only 25 cents. Her work is the most interesting in the redemption division. All mutilated bank notes are sent to the treasury ac companied by a voucher, drawti up by a notary, certifying how the money was injured. Notes burned to a crisp, notes that have been partly digested by ani mals, money that has been gnawed into bits by mice, rotted by dump, or turned into pulp by water, all pass through Mrs. Brown's hands. If there is any thing left to identify she is sure to suc ceed. By means of a piece of glass the size of a bank note, marked into twenty four squares, the face of the bill is de termined. If sixteen of these squnres can l>o covered by the mutilated hill, the whole value is paid; if less than sixteen and more than twelve, half the value; if less than twelve, it is rejected entirely. Twenty-two dollars found in the nost of a mouse were recently sent to the treasury in a condition that defied recognition by the naked eye. Mrs. Brown went to work with a micro scope, and patiently sorted out the whole amount One hundred and eighty dollars, which went through the Vauderbilt fire at Newport came to Mrs. Brown as a charred mass of paper, which she, however, identified. W hen an express car io burned, the safe is sent unopened to the treasury department There it is opened by women experts, who empty the con tents. often only a mass of ashes, and sift them through a sieve. The charred bits of money are then picked out and submitted to a microscopic examina tion. Not long ago twentj'-two tiny diamonds were recovered by sifting the ashes a third time before burning them. The vaults are often filled with the stench of money recovered from dead bodies in pestilent districts, as during the prevalence of yellow fever in the south. Such money is fumigated, and no diseases have ever been communi cated to employes. Gold and silver are also counted by women, and women manipulate the machine which has taken the place of shears for trimming notes. The ma chine which stamps the bank notes is also in charge of women. In the treasurer's office is the last of the original seven women employes— Miss Elizabeth Stoner. She keeps the payrolls of the navy. Her work neces sitates the reducing of every variety of foreign money to our values. For thirty years Miss Stoner has occupied almost the same desk room, and many a time has she heard "heelers" ousted with small ceremony when they came to urge the treasurer to discharge her to make room for a voter.—N. Y. Sun. THE SUPERIORITY OF WOMEN. An Old Custom That Will Ktimo Day Glv.t Way to a Hotter One. llow long can it reasonably be ex pected that the old custom will last in deference to which wives are content to be known by the surnames of their husbands? All the recent tests tend to 6how the superiority of the female mind to that of the male. Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer in a recent address supported the cause of coeducation with the argument that "nothing in the world will take the foolishness and romantic notions out of a girl so quick as to work with young men and find out how little they know." Of course marriage has the same effect; but after a girl is married it is too late for her to save her maiden name. If she arrives before marriago to the sophisticated ; stage that Mrs. Palmer describes, she may very reasonably demur to giving up a name which she feels competent to distinguish for one which will be handicapped by her husband's relative inferiority. All along the line this summer women have • triumphed. In the recent tfissignmcnt of gen eral fellowships by the Chicago university young women got so dispro portionate a share of the spoils as to scandalize the authorities. When the London Geographical society declined in the spring to admit women to its inera- j berslilp, the society's action was re ceivcd not at nil as evidence of the it.- ' feriority of women, but purely a • a | new proof of the limitations of men. j Ten women passed the Cambridge ! Mathematical Tripos this year, anil twe j of them came out wranglers. Three women tooK honors at Oxford, at which j university also honor examinations i ! were this year opened to women in I j three new courses. At London uni- I ! versity. Miss Ogilvie, a prodigy of eru-1 I dition, from Aberdeen, passed with the I highest credit the examination for the I j degree of Doctor of Science. At this j [ rate, how long- will women be content ! with the substance, and abstain from grasping the shadow also? 11 ow long will Miss Jones consent to become Mrs. Smith? llow soon will she demand a competitive* examination between Smith and herself to determine before marriage which is the compelling en- j j lity, and whether it is more meet that j she shall become a Smith, or that Smith and the children shall become Joneses' —Harper's Weekly. ONE TOUCH OF NATURE 0 Made Susan H. Anthony Kin With All Her Audience. It was at one of the great congresses which have formed tho nucleus in Chi cago for the notables from every coun try and clime interested in the advance ment of culture and the dissemination of progressive ideas. The crowd had quite overflowed one room and filled another In the Act Pqlace, under prom ise that the celebrated speakers would repeat their programme to the overflow meeting. The night was insufferably hot, the people disappointed and im patient. To make the wait less tedious Susnn B. Anthony was called upon to address them, and she did so in the whimsical and sarcastic vein with which she veils an earnestness of thought and purpose, to which she has ilpvoted a lifetime of effort and sacri fice. Still, this crowd was not a suf frage gathering. They were not in sym pathy with the strong-faced woman in the plain gown who addressed them. She knew intuitively that she was not holding the in. Suddenly she stepped forward to the edge of the platform and said confidentially with a little smile: "1 didn't know I was going to be called upon to address you this even ing. If I had I should have put on ray other gown." In an instant she had won them, every one. The* one touch of nature, of vanity in this strong little woman with the iron-gray hair combed down each side her face, made every woman her sister, every man her friend. If a vote could have been taken on the spot everyone in the audience would have east a ballot for Susan B. Anthony and her platform. Interesting Statistics. The reports of the last census, as nearly as cau le ascertained, show that outside of domestic service America had in 1890 2,700,000 bread-winning* women and girls working outside of their own homes. There were 110 lawyers, 105 ministers. 820 authors, 588 journalists, 2,001 artists, 2,186 architects, chemists, pharmacists, 2,100 stock raisers and ranchers, 5,185 government clerks, 2,488 physicians and surgeons, 13,182 professional musicians, 50,800 farmers and planters, 21,071 clerks and book keepers, 14,4(55 heads of commercial houses, 155,000 public school, teachers (based on the census of 1880). Here is an army of women depending upon themselves for support and probably taking care of others. Any talk of rel egating these women to a life of de pendence is mere foolishness. The question to consider is how best to adapt this new factor to existing condi tions, or how to shape the conditions to the best interests of these wage earners and the commonwealth.—N. V World. SHORT NOTES. THE School Hoard of St. Paul, Minn., has fixed the scale of wages for the teachers of that city regardless of sex.

A TEXAS woman, Mrs. Richard King, owns one of the laigest ranches in the world. There is nothing she can not tell you about cattle. The ranch is near Corpus Christi, and contains 700,- 000 acres. Miss LILLIAN MOKKITT, an English phenomenon, has the power of retain ing in her memory hundreds of com plex figures, and of multiplying, de ducting, and adding at the same time any of the cross figures. Mas. MAQNUSSKN, of Iceland, one of the delegates to the suffrage congress, said in her paper before the members of that body that the women of Iceland did not claim the suffrage, but that it was being thrust upon them by the men. Miss LAURA M. UI.DKN, of Virginia City, has been admitted to practice be fore the courts of Nevada by the su preme court. She passed a very credit able examination and was highly com plimented by the judge, who has never admitted a woman before to the Nevada bar. Mas. GRAFTON ROSS, an English wom an, has invented a tool for killing ob noxious weeds in gardens. It is in the form of a hollow piercer, through which poison is conveyed to the very heart of the root of a stubborn weed, causing it to shrivel up in a very short time.
