'2 MRS. DELISLETS BOARDERS. T AM more tlinn grieved to hear of X dear Aunt Laura's trouble, and surprlneil to hear that her husband's death Involves her la poverty. You write that she la anxious to open a boardlng-houfle, but lacks capital. l'lease make arrangements for her to ftake Immediate possession of my great, empty house on Thirty-fifth street, and tell her to fill It with boarders from cel lar to attic. I should like her to keep my sroom ready for me in case I return, and ask her to pile In there such articles as .are valuable from association Bhe will know what to select. I write to her by this mull, but as she is very delicate About aooeptlng favors, I trust to you to see that she needs nothing till toy re turn. As the house Is fully furnished, she will only need fuel and provisions pen it at once." It was this paragraph and the letter mentioned as accompanying it, that put Mrs. Dellsle In possession of the plendld brown-stone house, superbly furnished, that was a portion of the es tate of Henry Whitney, her sister's ;son. He had been in Europe traveling or five years, when the news reached liiin of his aunt's widowhood and pov erty, and he lost not a moment in stretching a helping hand, even across the wide ocean. The old lawyer, to whom the letter quoted above wag written, understood gierfeetly the wishes of his generous young client, and Mrs. Dellsle afterward declared, obeyed orders by turning an twtire coul yard into her cellar, and one grocery store at the least into her large pantries. Being well-known, and offering such desirable accommodations, the widow had no difficulty In filling every room ?in the large house, nt handsome prices, always reserving the one her nephew ihad occupied before leaving New York ; and this one, it was her pride and her (.pleasure to keep in dainty order, while Ue hoqwd for its owner's return. JJer first application for rooms came from a wealthy widower, who wished for three rooms, for himself, daughter and niece. He gave his name as John Gregory, and his references were good. Mrs. Delisle found he was a purse-proud, uneducated man, a petty tyrant, fault tftoding and bad-tempered,but willing to jjay handsomely. His only child, Isubel, was a feminine copy of her father, a su tperbly handsome brunette, fond of dress ;aud display and parvennu to her fingers vends. JJint tihe uiece, Sadie Gregory ,a brown lialred, brown-eyed girl of nineteen, still mourning the death of both parents, was gentle and refined, and while far less beautiful than her cousin,had a winsome sweetness all her own. Mrs. Delisle's heart opened to the girt at once. Two fair daughters of her own lay under the churchyard sod, and (he spring of mother love once touched could never quite close again in such a nature as her's. Even after her house was full, and there were other women old and young to claim her attention, she always found some spare moments in every day to give to Sadie. She knew well, though the girl her self made no complaint, how cramped iter life was, with the companionship only 6f her pompous uncle and the cousin whose loftiest ambition was to reach perfection in becoming and costly Attire. So Sadie, after she had been with her a month, Mrs. Delisle trusted 'the key of the library, allowing only her the privilege ot taking out the volumes. And the girl, sensitive and lonely, soon found a fascination in the volumes quite apart from the mere printed matter. Marginal notes of power and thought, sometimes critical, sometimes carrying still further some leading Idea, first at tracted her, and then, in many books she discovered sheets of paper, upon which in the same bold handwriting as the notes, she found original verse's, quaint paragraphs, and bold sketches. She had already heard from Mrs. Delisle of the young owner of the house, of his generous, frank disposition, his love of literature, his large wealth, and had admired the painting in the lady's own room, of Harry Whitney at seven 1een. It represented a curly-halred,blue eyed lad, leaning against a noble horse, "It was taken nine years ago," Mrs. Delisle said, " the winter I was married and went South. I have not seen Har ry since, although he did not go abroad till his father died, four years later. He was an affectionate boy, and all the love lie would probably have given his moth er, had she lived, he gave to me from the time he was six years old. He writes to ne very often, and his letters are as en tertainlng as a book of travels. You nhall read some of them." But Mrs. Delisle told Sadie nothing of tier own, praises of her favorite in the letters sent abroad, nor did she show her this paragraph in one : " Among the numerous experiences of my new ine, are me many speculations 11 1 out the absent owner of the house. JMiss Isabel Gregory, a very overwhelm ing brunette, whose 'pa' is rich, Is es pecially anxious to know all about the young millionaire, and I am suniclently wicked to allow her to believe that her charms would prove Irresistible. Do come home. I miss you sorely now that I am lu your old home." But apparently Harry Whitney found Paris more attractive than New York, for he gave no promise of speedy home coming. Early In October, when Mrs. Dellsle had been six mouths In posses sion of her nephew's house, Mr. Grego ry sent for her, In mlghly wrath. ' I understood," he said, loftlly,"that this was a ilrst-class boarding house." Mrs. Dellsle merely bent her head with an air of quiet dignity. ' A first-class boarding-house," re peated Mr. Gregory, swelling visibly, " and ytt Miss Isabel, my daughter, has to occupy a seat beside a man who is, I understand, a clerk, and whose clothes are but one degree above Bhabblness." " You refer to Mr. Worth ?" "I do, madam. If this Is to become a home for beggarly clerks, we will leave." ' Mr. Worth is a gentleman," was the quiet reply ; " his references were unexceptionable, and he is related to some of the leading people In the city. Still, if you desire It, I will remove his seat to the other side of the table." "I do request it, and since accidents are always to be guarded against, I also request that Mr. Worth will not con sider the fact of occupying the same house in any way an Introduction to our acquaintance." "Very well, sir." Then Mrs. Delisle left the room, and straightway proceeded to a small sit ting-room, next the drawing-room,where Mr. Worth was seated,a handsome man, with a heavy brown beard, expressive eyes, playing a brilliant fantasia upon the piano, while Sadie Gregory nestled In a deep arm-chair, listened at tentively. Very gravely Mrs. Delisle repeated the insulting message,and request of the autocrat, and very gravely Mr. Worth listened. But, Sadie, springing to her feet, crimsoned with mortification and anger and the little hand that rested on the back of the arm-chair trembled with ex citement. " It is perhaps better for me to leave you," Mr. Worth said,while from under the humbly drooped eyelashes he stole a look at the young girl beside him. " It may be," said Mrs. Delisle, quiet ly, " that Mr. Gregory will be satisfied with moving your seat. But, if not, you must not think hard of me, Mr. Worth, if I make some sacrifice to keep my beBt-paying boarders." "Certainly not I The little I pay for a hall room, upon the upper floor, can make no material difference in your in come. Still, if it cau be arranged, I should like to remain here." He bowed gravely still as he spoke and left the room. But, Sadie, after the door closed, dropped upon her knees by the chair and broke into passionate tears. " Sadie, dear child," Mrs. Delisle Bald, kindly, " what troubles you " It was long before the answer came, but the tears were spent at last, and the girl stood up. " I am ashamed to bear the same name," Bhe said, impetuously, " to be of the same blood, as that of my uncle and cousin. The bitter humiliation of hearing such insults offered a gentle man, crushes me." "Sadie! child!" " You think me unmatdenly to take up his cause," said the girl,qulckly, "but you are wrong. It is not only because I know how immeasurably be Is above my uncle in refinement and intellect ; it is not because I know him to be noble and good, though he may be poor. Itis not for his sake at all, but for theirs. The narrow, purse-proud meanness that can insult any man for his poverty, dis gusts me. My father was not so : he was a gentleman, if he was unfortunate enough to be John Gregory's brother, and ray gentle, sweet mother was a lady." " Sadie, do not get so excited. No one will connect your name with this trouble." But the girl would not be comforted. Her sensitive nature was touched to the quick. It hurt her, too, that Mrs Delisle, who had been altogether perfect to her girlish worship, could let self- interest so govern her as to carry the message that so touched her. All the world seemed to her hard and narrow, as she went sadly to her own room. And the man who had been to her only a pleasant, congenial friend In the great house full of people, suddenly rose to the digaity of a hero, in the light of persecution. She had been ouly quietly dignified and friendly with him during his six weeks', sojourn in the house, but there was a gentle kindness In her manner af ter that morning that told him more el oquently than words of her sympathy", Nobody knew exuetly where Mr, Worth's clerkship was located, but ho was quite frank about speaking of his duties, his small salary, and his inabili ty to join the other young gentlemen of the house in expensive pleasure-seeking. They all liked him, even although he was too proud to share In pleasures that he could not pay for, and In spite of his shabby wardrobe, he was rather a favor ite in the drawing-room, where the boarders, as u rule, spent the evening hours. He was a brilliant pianist, conversed well, danced gracefully, and was full of bright sympathy for all that wag going ou. ijven Miss Isabel, m spite or her father's wrath, could not deny that Mr. Worth was one of nature's noblemen. And Badie shy, sweet Sadie, found all her heart turning from the fancied hero she had created from Harry Whit ney's penciled Bcraps, to give loyal love to this actual presence, that filled every attribute she gave to manhood in her girlish dreams. He courted her frankly before them all,aud she, in spite of her cousin's sneers, her uncle's wrath, accepted his attentions, and did not say nay to his whispered wooing. It wa9 wonderful how often the two met In Mrs. Delisle's private sitting-room when that lady found miles of sewing to detain her, and Mr. Worth read aloud, or awakened nil the musio sleeping in the piano. Some times, conquering her shyness, Sadie sang in her sweet, clear voice, or read from her penciled scraps, carefully guarding the secret of their discovery. And when winter was nearly gone Mr. Worth, in the same cosy sitting room, won Sadie's promise to be his wife. Mr. Gregory's dignity rose to sublimi ty at this presumption. He gave the audacious young man an audience in his own sitting-room, insisting upon the presence of his daughter, niece and Mrs. Dellsle. " It Is quite useless for you to deny, young man," lie said, " tbat you were aware of my niece's small fortune, a trifle in comparison with my daugh ter's expectations, but sufficient to tempt a needy fortune-hunter." "Uncle!" Sadie exclaimed, flushing hotly. "It will better become you to be si lent," said her uncle, " while I dismiss this man." But Sadie rose then, and quietly took her lover's arm. "You have no legal control over me or my fortune," sbe said, with gentle dignity, "and Mr. Worth, when he leaves here, takes my promise to be his wife." " Very well very well. You will go with him then, and at once, for Mrs. Delisle may as well understand that either that young man or I must leave this place before sundown." 'You are In earnest V" asked the landlady. ' Most certainly. Either Mr. Worth or I must cease to be your boarder." "Then, sir, though I regret to lose you, I am afraid you must suit yourself at once." "I I Mrs. Dellsle, are you In sane V " Not at all. But my nephew, Mr. Henry Worth Whitney has Informed me that he will prefer, after his mar. ringe with your ulece, to occupy his own house, which he bo kindly lent to me." Three pale faces of utter consternation were turned to the young man, who saw no one but Sadie. She shrank a little from him, but he only held her closer, whispering: " Don't be angry. I so craved real love, not the worship of my wealth. Aunt Laura made me love you, even be fore I saw you." " I hope, Mr. Whitney," Bald Isabel, sweetly, " that you will not cherish re sentment because my father's, love for my cousin led him to, perhaps, unneces sary harshness." " No my dear fellow," said Mr. Gregory, and then choked abruptly, and was silent under the cool contempt of Mr. Whitney's eyes and his sarcastio smile. "I think we fully understand each other, Mr. Gregory," said that young man, with chilling courtesy; "but al low me to say, that the very short no tice you gave yourself in finding auoth er boarding-house, need not be binding. xouare quite welcome here until you are perfectly suited elsewhere." But Isubel, after giving Sadie her prl vate opinion of the contemptible fraud practiced upon them, with the clearly expressed t:iut that she was probably in Mrs. Delisle's confidence from the first, lost no time in leaving the scene of her father's mortiflc&tion. There was a speedy weddlug,and Mrs. Delisle, having dismissed her boarders consented, after much coaxing, to still preside over the stately brown-stone house that had been the scene of her nephew's masquerade. O There is no harm in a glass of whisky if you allow the whisky to re main In the glasB. An Unnatural Father. J UST before the battle of Saratoga, Burgoyne, finding that his boats containing army supplies were not safe from the American troops, determined to land his provisions. The landing was effected under the fire of American guns. An old Scotchman, living near the place, sympathized so strongly with the American cause that he lost all affec tion for bis son, who was In the British army. Curious to see what was going on at the place where the provisions were being landed, he, with a compan ion, crept up to the opposite bank and cautiously peeped over.' The stream was so narrow that they could see a man In a blanket-coat loading a cart. At that moment the man turned bo as to expose his face. "That's my sou, Hughy," whispered the Scotchman ; "but for a' that, I will gle him a Bhot." The unnatural father fired, but happily for his future peace of mind, without effect. The son, hearing the cocking of the gun, ran to the other side of the cart, and the ball lodged In the felloe of the wheel. The report of the gun drew the attention of the guard, who opened a fire upon the two men. The compan ion, in fleeing, received a ball in the shoulder. The American troops, when they heard of the unnatural Incident, expressed the wish that the bullet had hit the old Scotchman In the head. How Four Pins Preserved a Man's Reason. IN the show window of one of the leading jewelers of Vienna is exposed to view a broooh, magnificently studded with gems, in the middle of whose elab orate chasing Is Inclosed the most singu lar of centres four common, old, bent and corroded pins. This brooch is the property of the Countess Lavetskoly. The pins have a history, of course. Seven years ago Count Albert Lavetsko ly was arrested at Warsaw for an alleged Insult to the Russian Government. The real author of the insult, which consisted of some careless words Bpoken at a social gathering, was his wife. He accepted the accusation, however, and was sent to prison. In one of the lightless dun geons in which the Czar is so fond of confining his Polish subjects, the unfor tunate martyr for his wife's loose tongue spent six years. He had only one amusement. After he had been searched and thrown into a cell he had found in his coat four pins. These he pulled out and threw on the floor, and then in the darkness he hunt ed for them. Having found them, perhaps ouly after hours and even days, he scattered them again. And so the game went on for six weary years. But for them." he writes in his memoirs, "I would have gone mad. They provided me with a purpose. So long as I had them to search for I had something to do. When the decree for my liberation from exile was brought tome, the jailor found me on my knees hunting for one which had escaped me for four days. They saved my wife's husband from lunacy. My wife, there fore could not desire a prouder orna ment." A Frightful Scene. During an exhibition of some wild beasts a few days ago at the theatre of a small town iu Thuringia a frightful scene occurred. A leopard was not near- ly bo submissive to the tamer as usual, and dashed wildly about the cage. Sud denly two of the bars gave way, and the animal sprang with a tremendous bound among the spectators in the pit. The terrified people rushed pell-mell to the door, but the beast attacked the Undermost of them furiously with teeth and claws, and In four minutes had killed a woman and a child and fearfully lacerating four other persons about the face and neck. The moment the leopard escaped from Its cage the beast tamer and his assistants hurried after it, armed with spears, but were unable to overcome It until it dropped dead from its wounds. Ou examining the broken bars of the cag6 It was dis covered that they had been filed. An attendant lately dismissed for drunken ness, has been arrested on suspicion of being the author of this atrocious deed. tST A colored man once bald lu class meetinir : "Bredren, when I was a toy, I took a hatchet and went iutofle woods.
