ALMOST A TRAGEI >V. SI G N O R I N A SABINA, the daughter oi the Mayor of Mou rat, was returning to lier home; she wore a coquettish cream-colored veil and a large Iqjt of white straw ornamented with roses, which softly shaded her brunette face. This girl of nineteen vas treated with much respect by her townspeople. Her father, one of the richest proprie tors of the place, had kept her for three years at school in the capital, from which she had returned but late ly. She was well educated and self possessed In manner. Just as she arrived at her house, sit uated upon the slope of a fertile mead ow which protected the village from the winds of the north and west she encountered two young men. "Where are you going, Signorina Sa bina?" inquired one of them, a large, dark youth with sparkling eyes. "I am returning home, Signor An drea." The young man began to sing, it being near the vesper hour. At his saucy pretense of devotion Sabina turned with a smile to bis companion. "Does not this levity shock you, Sig nor Giocomo?" she asked. "No, signorina, not at all," he care lessly responded. The girl seemed nervous. She tor mented the cover of lier prayer-book ami murmured between her teeth: "Why does lie say nothing more? Yesterday I called to him. He was at the bottom of the meadow. He came at a slow pace, whistling! Certainly be must have a sweetheart. But who is she? Oh, I must—l will know it!" Sabina was in love with Glocomo Baplet without his suspecting it. For bow long? Since the luminous apple blossom time of the last May when they had chatted together for a long time near her window. And in every way she loved strongly. That which attracted her was with out doubt Gioeomo's good looks—the large, full eye, with eyelashes extend ed so as to make the glance appear al ways east down, the small mouth soft ly defined and shadowed by a slight mustache. But she held herself with an indifferent and languid air and af fected a coldness which admirably veiled lier passion. Next day, at the hour when Giocomo was accustomed to return to his home, Sabina loitered near tlie path which led from the road to his uncle's castle; With lier was Valoroso, one of the large dogs of the Pyrenees, so beautiful with their white hair and festooned tails, and so strong with their great paws, enormous heads and massive I jaws. No need to close the door when this animal guarded the house! Valo roso would in an instant have torn to 1 pieces the imprundent person who ven tured to enter. I The maid presently perceived Glo como at a little distance behind her. | She slackened her pace and allowed j him to approach, when she told liini ! that she was going to the house of Ma rietta, a workwoman who lived at some distance in this direction. So they might as well walk together. Presently she began to speak of the many pretty girls in Mourat; she ac cused Glocomo of having fixed his eyes on some one of them. He responded in monosyllables and did not look iu her direction. "At leas.," she continued, "you will admit that you have not always turned your head away from the girls you have met?" Giocomo defended himself hut indif ferently. "Let it be so," ho said, after a quar ter of an hour's teasing. "I admit, since you desire it, Signorina Sabina, that I adore all the pretty girls in Mou rat, hut I love none of tliera." "What, none?" said Sabina, with a lip that trembled. "None In all the place? You are frank, Signor Gioco mo! Confess, now, that at least one " "Not one, I repeat." "Oli, you deny it for fear T. might ask her name!" "You are mistaken, signorina; I care ?or no woman living." Giocomo spoke coldly. Sabina laughed hysterically to keep herself from tears. She knew herself to he beautiful, yet this man was blind to her charms. She saw herself in imagination as she was at that moment. Prom her full brow rose a coronet of fine dark liair; her long eyelashes gave a languishing shadow to the pupils below; her mouth was like a living rose, and her head, adorned with long tresses, rose The sooty laborer with a thrill. Plucks shamrocks on an Irish hill,, A gamin cheers and chaffs: All busy footsteps pause a bit, Somewhere is toil by clear skies lit, A sunburnt world that laughs. And long and long the sweetness stays, And cheers and cools the heated ways, Like the happy news from home, Till the ivlc moon and misty stars Look down as if, by meadow bars. Their rays touched clover bloom. But little recks the countryman. Bound homeward on his empty van, Along the closing marts, A* hat store he brought with him to-day, Oi what, within a load of hay, Could touch so ivany hearts. —Youth's Companion. from her shoulders with a grace inex pressible. For a time they were silent, both occupied with their oAvn thoughts. Presently she broke a branch from a tree, and, striking the hedge with it, startled the little birds, who, thus rudely aroused from their repose, took flight with a whirring of wings. The noise woke Giocomo from his apathy. "Since 3*oll have interrogated me so well, Signorina Sabina," lie said, "now listen to me. Is it because you are iu love yourself that you are so ready to suspect others?" She made her voice adorabl3* caress ing, and sent toward him a meaning glance as she murmured*. "Perhaps." But Giocomo did not ask, as she ex pected, a fuller explanation of this "perhaps." "Sigaor Giocomo," said she, finally, with a pout, "have 3*oll 110 curiosity? Have 3*ou 110 desire to know more? Yes, I love some one, and that some one is a young man, amiable—even more so that 3*oll. And from this love will come happiness—greater hap piness than 3*ou are able to under stand, not knowing what it is to be loved. O, poor Giocomo!" and she laughed mockingly. Though Giocomo did not understand the girl's manner, he (lid not for a mo ment suspect the truth. "Women are incomprehensible," lie thought, "when they are in love." Aloud he said: "I ought to be obliged to you for bearing with my society. Andrea would have been more wel come. It is he whom 3'ou love?" "Yes," she replied with energy. As thc3* had come to the path which led to tae house of Marietta they parted, exchanging cold good-nights. And now Sabina's lashes fell, and her eyes showed 110 more pride, but were filled with tears. "She loves Andrea!" muttered Glo como. Ho smiled fainlly, going along the road with impatient steps and dis traught manner. Upon his right hand the setting sun appeared, rolling like a globe of tire toward the west, project ing across the country great purple shadows; the mountains received a soft flood of light which tinged their summits with rose-color and disclosed I flie tops of the fir trees, their trunks being already lost in the gloom. It appeared to Giocomo that this mo ment of divine light brought to him but sadness and night—that the world was only a tomb, lie who had always been satisfied felt that he wanted something—that a void had been made about him and within him, but he knew not in what way. lie recalled Sabina's pale face, in which her eyes burned with the fever of love. She thought then of Andrea— happy Andrea. As he crossed the threshold of the castle an overpower ing influence caused him to say to himself: "Let me love likewise!" From this day he avoided Sabina. Meanwhile, the elder Baplet was de sirous of the betterment of his nephew. He was seventy, and at oue time or another, as may be admitted without controversy, lie would be obliged to . take his departure for another world, lie desired, then, to gee Giocomo es tablished in life, and it would be an easy thing, he thought, to entrap an excellent youth Into matrimonial hap piness. Negotiations were secretly conduct cd with a worthy farmer of the vi cinity, who was Ids relative, and who had a daughter of eighteen, Giovanna Cassarde. The two old comrades spent long hours in consultation and decided upon the amount of the dow ry. Finally, one Sunday in August, Baplet was able to present his project to Giocomo. Giocomo immediately consented to it. After that last encounter with Sa bina he had lost his customary calm ness and repose. He Instinctively" craved some diversion. He promptly sought Giovanna! She was a blonde, of gentle disposition, but somewhat too quiet to suit Giocomo, who in wardly contrasted her with the impul sive Sabina. He had frequently thought of her, but he considered her bound to Andrea. He had no doubt that she loved his vivacious friend. It did not seem possible that it could be otherwise. On the fifteenth of October Giocomo was to marry Giovanna. In the early part of the month Sabina had gone to a neighboring village to see one of her aunts, or rather to seek for forgetful- ness. She had spoken an untruth to Giocoino, and he nad believed her, the silly fellow! He loved Giovauna. who by this time loved kira certainly—af ter a manner—and- expected • to be happy with him. At every instant she saw them together, and the thought of their happiness tormented her as she returned from Birazue and fol lowed with head bent a narrow path which led from the mountain to the river. Her dog, Valoroso, was with her, and as if he comprehended that she was in trouble, pressed against her dress and regarded her with* soft and melancholy eyes. Raising her head Sablna perceived In the lane at some distance two figures which she recognized as those of Gio eomo and Giovauna. Her brow dark ened. With an angry exclamation she darted behind a rock that rose beside the roadway. The betrothed pair separated, aud Glocomo came toward Sabina without perceiving her, being buried in his own reflections. She heard him approach, and imagined that Giovauna was with him. A wild tempest of jealousy surged up in her soul. She laid her hand on Valoroso's head, fiercely whis pering: "Revenge me. my good dog! Bite them! Tear them savagely!" She made an expressive gesture, and j Valoroso, with a hoarse growl, leaped j upon Glocomo. Before the young man had recog nized his enemy the brute had his two enormous paws upon his shoulders and his sharp teeth at his throat. Gioco mo uttered a loud cry. A penitence more swift than thought came to Sabina. She threw herself upon the dog and dragged him away, uttering a shriek so terrible that Valo roso cowered as if expecting a blow. The scene had become almost tragic. Sabina succumbed to grief and emo tion. She fell fainting to the earth. Glocomo hastened to bring water from the river and bathe her face, his own full of tenderness and pity. How beautiful she was! What an expres sion of suffering softened her colorless lips! He felt that he adored her. He trembled at sight of her trouble. "Sabina —dear Sabina," he softly said, "it is I! Have you forgotten me?" She replied by an imperious gesture. "Leave me!" she said. "Why should I leave 3*011?" "Do you not know? It was I who set the dog on you!" Ciiocomo remained for a moment overcome with astonishment. "Why did you do it?" he demanded. "I love j'ou," she cried. "I would rather see you dead than married to another!" "You love me? Even I, even I, Sa bina? Well, then. I love 3*ou! It is not possible to doubt now—l adore you! It was most unfortunate, as you see, that to the last moment I misun derstood 3*oll. For a long time I have loved 3 r ou without knowing it." Sabina leaned toward Glocomo, whose handsome face was marked by tears, but irradiated with happiness. "And you will forgive me?" "O, 1113' adored one!" murmured Gio como. A month later Giocomo Baplet con ducted to the altar a young lady ra diant with happiness, but her name was not Giovanna.—New York Weekly. Could Not Trust Their Comrade* There has always been a good deal of question as to bow much honor there really is among thieves, and the guild seem to be doubtful also, for two of its members in a Hungarian town preferred to kill a companion in a par ticularly disgusting way a few nights ago rather than to trust him. Inci dentally, a villager showed rather striking presence of mind. The three thieves were in the act of entering a small shop by a rear window. The first plunged in feet ilrst, stuck fast, and was promptly pounced upon by the owner, who deftly slipped a rope about his legs and made him a prison er. Then he went out to call for aid. The two other thieves, having hidden, now reappeared, and finding that they could not release their comrade, dared not take the chance of his "informing" upon them, and, drawing their knives, cut his head from his shoulders and carried it away with them.

Tlic 1 toy ill Dockyards are just now suffering from a violent lit of economy, and much friction between ships and the yards is the result. Under the new custom, when tarpaulins, gun covers, etc., are sent in for repair, the dockyard people only paint slleji patches as they may put in, the rest is left just anyhow. Of course, the ship has to repaint the lot. The way the economy is effected Is that when the necessary painting is done on ship hoard the commander has probably to provide the paint. Something like $lO a year must be saved by this economy, —Loudon Engineer. J^AFFA.RS Remedy For Crealcy Shoes.

Tart In tlie Sick Romii, Sympathy must not be overworked, j nor fail to lend itself to that denial which is often a real kindness.

But true tact, however, may generally find away by wldeli tin, patient seems to have every indulg ence he desires, yet In truth have nothing but that wlileh the one ir. charge desires to give him. While the will of the watcher must always lie dominant, it should never be so ob strusively; the patient should be rulef so gently tlmt he does not know he is being ruled. At times, of course, tin patient will ask for something in sue! I n way that lie cannot be led from tin I subject or be made to think that after j all he does not want that particular thing.

Strength and sweetness combined will work wonders in holding such a situation.— Mary It. Baldwin, in the Woman's Home Companion. Nursery Temperature. During the first cool days, especial ly when clouds and rain give added ' gloom, the temperature of the nursery must have extra attention. The fires that lire started "to take off the morn ing chill," are often allowed to in crease the temperature, until the nurs ery threatens to become a sort of liot bed—a dangerous state of affairs at any time, aud especially at this ehange- I able season. | When the temperature Is too high. I it causes general relaxation, and ex- I cites the nervous system of (lie little i ones; and it is said to favor the devel ! opment of convulsive and nervous dis j eases. It also renders a child more ; liable to catch cold. But with due regulation of the temperature from the | time the early fires are first started j in the nursery, many winter troubles | may be avoided. During the first few chilly weeks It should be kept comfortably and | equably warm. It should not be al | lowed to go below sixty-live degrees, and if there Is a very young baby a with an iron or wire grating, and care should be taken to avoid exposing an j infant to the heat and glare of a bright | fire.—Philadelphia Record. t Jpovj S "a ' fry RECIPES f !
