Which Wa3 tho Fool?
A BLUSTERING, uncomfortable day
In early November, with a bleak
promise of snow In tbe air, and a
sky that wan clouding over. The bare
br iui dies of the trees swayed and writhed
Bavagely ; occasionally little showere of
dry, dead leaves, that were not yet sod
den and decoyed, Hurried up and down ;
and the roar of the fire In the chimney
completed the outside picture of a dull
autumn afternoon.
In MIbs Mluer'B sitting-room, howev
er, everthlng was as cozy and delightful
ns could be desired, with the warm crlm
bou lambrequins, with their heavy cords
and tassals, and the carpet to match in
tlut,and,the furnltureof light gray dam
ask, puffed with crimson, aud the grBy
and gold wall paper, aud the pretty
knick-knacks here and there thatfuru
Ished the room in such admirable taste.
And Hettie Miner, Bitting before the
open grate-stove fire, her black silk skirt
turned carefully back over her lap, and
her substanclaliy-made pebble-goat boots
resting comfortably on the fender.
An elderly woman 40 odd with a
sharp, shrewd face and bright little eyes,
and a resolute look around her mouth.
A homely, outspoken woman, who was
proud to say she had never been In love,
who lived ill luxury, although ou a
small scale, and who had $75,000 iu Gov
em men t bonds to leave her relations
when she died; and iu all the world she
had but two relatives, Mrs. Carlsford
Carl, her married sister, and Mr. Parker
Dollingby, her half-brother, who, be
sides being Inordinately jealous that old
Simon Carmen had left Itetty his for
tune, just because she had happened to
befriend him in his poor, ante-mining
days, were very much given to toadying
her and writing affectionate letters to
her, and loading her with presents, and
forcing invitations ou her ; all of which
Miss Miner accepted In a matter-of-fact
way, and In return did exactly as she
pleased.
ThlB especial afternoon, as she sat
meditatively before the flre,she suddenly
broke tbe stilluess, with an energy of
speech that made the young girl reading
lu the bay-window, nearly concealed by
the curtains, look Btartedly up from her
book :
"Elllce, you're a fool 1"
Evidently, Ellice Dunning had not
lived live years as companion aud per
sonal attendant to Miss Miner in vain,
for she manifested no surprise at the
rough speech, beyond the brief little start
led look Iu her soft wlney-brown eyes.
She closed her book and came out into
the room, a little flush on her face.
"Do you think so, Miss Miner r"
"Moat certainly I think so, or I should
not have said bo. You are a fool, Elllce
Dunning, and I hate to see you throw
yourself away so foolishly. Do show
your common sense, if you've got any,
and let that young jackanapes of a doc
tor go. You are better oft without him.
I'll give you a new sealskin sacque this
winter If you'll give him up."
"I couldn't give him up, Miss Miner ;
I love him too well."
Miss Miner looked sarcastically at El
lice's sweet flushed face, and gave a sniff"
of contempt.
"What nonsense I You love him too
well. Love indeed! It's all adsurdlty.
I uever was in love in all my life."
Ellice dropped her head iu a pretty,
little confused way.
"I can't help that, Miss Miner. I
love Frank, and he loves me. We'd be
perfectly miserable if we were parted.
Please don't tell me I must give him up.
Indeed, it is Impossible. We are engag
ed to be married just as soon as he comes
.back from his visit home."
Miss Miner dropped her feet from the
polished silver bar to the tiled hearth
with a resonant bang as she jumped up,
indignantly.
"Engaged to be married to Dr. Olevln 1
Did I ever I Well, Ellice Dunning very
well. You may pack my hand-valise at
once. I am going to New York on a
visit by the 0:10 train, and I'll be home
on Thursday. When Icome back, dou't
let me And you here, you ungrateful lit
tle wretch you."
Ellice's lips quivered, and her eyes
filled with diamond-bright tears.
"Miss Miner. You don't mean to
turn me away."
"That Is just what I mean. I have
told you time and again, I didn't ap
prove of men-beaux and love-making,
and I won't have it where I am. You
can take your choice me or Dr. Olevln.
I'll give you Just five minutes."
"I dou't want five minutes Tor a choice
Miss Miner," she said proudly. "You
have been very good to me, and I can
not forget your kinduess ; and I think I
have done my duty to you. But noth
ingno one could come betweeu me
and Dr. Olevln."
"All right, then. Don't let me see
you here when I come back that's all."
Aud then Elllce went up to Miss Min
er's room and packed the red Russia
satchel, dropping a few tears as she fold
ed the garments Miss Miner would require.
I'll go to Mrs. Carlsford Carl," Miss
Miner decided, an alio sat In the city
liound express, In the early dusk of the
November evening. "Camella thinks
all the world of me. Her daughter
would not act. The Idea 1 of preferring
actually preferring a penniless young
doctor, with a mustache a nasty black
mustache to me. After all I've done
for her, too."
And then Miss Miner leaned back
very contentedly lu her seat, satisfied
that she had done her whole duty by
herself, and Elllce Dunning, too.
It was Just 8:80 o'clock when the hir
ed hack deposited her at the door of Mrs.
Carlsford Carl's red-brick house a com
fortable, cozy place, with name on the
door In full.
A her van t showed her In, and asked
her name; Miss Miner wanted to sur
prise her sister, and Bent word that a
friend wished to see her, while she seat
ed herself In the parlor, where a little
girl sat curled up in a cushioned chair,
reading.
"You want to see my mamma, I sup.
pose!"
"Yes," said Miss Miner, with an afliu
ble smile. "You are Hetty, I suppose V"
The child gave. a heavy sigh,
"Yes, I'm Hetty. Oh, don't I hate
that name V"
"Why, I think It's a flrst-rate name.
You are a namesake of somebody, I
guess "
"YeB, I am. Old Hetty Miner, my
aunt, who lives out in the country. I
never have seen her and I don't waut to
either, 'cause mamma says she's the
meanest old thing lu all creation a reg
ular old Miss Nancy, papa says."
Miss Miner smiled a little queerly.
"Oh! that's what they Bay, is It V
Well, Hetty, I am your Aunt Miner."
The child opened her eyes wider.
"Are you? Then, won't mamma be
mad! We expect company after awhile,
and mamma won't want you at all.
We'd be dreadfully ashamed of you be-,
fore the Algerdous. You're going to
leave us your money, ain't you? Papa
and mamma said they were most tird of
waiting you had as many lives as a cat.
We are going to Europe when you die!"
"Are you 1"' said Miss Miner, with
au insane desire to shake the pert, self
possessed, venomouB youngster. "Well,
I wouldn't depend upon it if I were
you V"
And before Mrs. Carl came down
strirs, MIbb Miner was out on the street,
on her way to her half-brother's house.
"A pretty nest of vipers those Carls
are. Thank heaven, I've- found them
out in time? Going to Europe on my
money I Why, ungrateful as that spunky
little Elllce is she isn't half as treacher
ous as my own flesh and blood.
Humph!"
And her complacency was not yet re
stored when she left the street-car on the
nearest corner to Mr. Parker Dollingby 's
bachelor quarter's that were alight in a
perfect lilaxe of bright cheer.
"It looks like a party," she thought.
But all the same she did not hesitate
to go up' the imposing stone steps and
ring the bell, to which no response com
ing, she tried the door knob, aod admit
ted herself into a large, brilliantly
lighted hall, at the end of which was a
room, from which came the sounds of
revelry and jollification that had pre
vented her ring being heard.
Miss Miner went into the first door
that stood ajar, and through another
partly-closed door she saw the gay bach
elor party some ten or fifteen merry
over their wine.
"80 that's the way Parker Dollingby
does, is it V" she asked herself grimly,
just as, the same instant, that gentleman
rose high, and for a second silenced all
others.
"Here's to the health of my most re
spected ancient marlneress a veritable
old maid, all forlorn, whose legacy is a
long time coming, but sure to get here
sometime. A cool $ 50,000 or so, boys ;
aud imagine tbe swell we'll cut when
the venerable Mehitable kicks the buck
et. Drink to her, fellows !"
Somehow Miss Miner took herself si
lently out of the place. She was silent
all the way to the hotel ; and then, once
iu the room, locked the door, and sat
down and actually cried, and then went
to bed, wondering if it was ever granted
to mortals to come nearer to being made
a fool of than she had been ; and at two
o'clock in the morning to awaken with
a strange, sick feeling that was awful to
endure iu that big, lonely hotel, where
she didn't know a living soul.
But she rang for assistance, and the
servant brought her a physician, who
happened to be staying over night, and
Miss Miner's life was saved from the ter
rible attack, of gastralgia by Dr. Frank
Olevlu.
"I'll pay you when I get home," she
said, tersely. "You can go with me, if
you don't mind my green vail and bag."
And bo, after reaching home, where
Ellice Dunning in readiness to leave by
a train au hour later, opened the door In
auswer to an imperious summons, Miss
Miner Btalked lu followed by Dr. Olevln.
"You needn't be frightened, Elllce,"
she snld, In a wonderfully soft tone of
voice. "I've ehntiged my mind. I'm
the fool, not you. Here's jour beau;
you can have him and welcome. And
when you're married, I'm going to set
tle my fortune on you and let you live
here, if you'll Rive me a room some
where. I've changed my mind, I tell
you, Elllce Dunning. Take off your
things and go get a cup of coffee for tig."
And that was the way little brown
eyed Elllce came Into her double Inher
itance of love and fortune.
THE DUTCH CAPTAIN'S DEVICE.
"QAII
U "A
L on the starboard bow 1"
What Is she?" asked Captain
Martin rieterszoon, looking anxiously
In that direction ; for In the Eastern
seas, two hundred years ago, every
strange sail was a terror to tbe captain
of a well-laden Dutch merchantman.
"Can't quite make her out yet," an
swered the lookout at the masthead.
"Looks like a brlgautlue very rakish
cut, altogether." The captain's face
darkened and his lips tightened. They
tightened still more a few minutes later,
when the lookout hailed again, "She's
an armed brigantine, bearing right down
upon us."
Every face among the crew seemed to
harden suddenly, but no one spoke. In
deed, what need was there of words t
All on board understood in a moment
what was before them. They were
about to be attacked by pirates: and
there was not a single cannon, not even
au old musket, aboard the vessel.
It was a terrible moment for them nil,
more terrible for the poor captain. For
years he bad been toiling and saving,
bearing every kind of hardship and fac
ing every kind of danger until he had
made money enough to become part
owner of tbe ship that he commanded.
He had made three successful trips in
a snug little house on the great canal at
Amsterdam, with rosy-cheeked Gredel
Voort, his old neighbor's only daughter,
for his wife. And now, all In a moment
he found himself face to face with hid
eous peril, which threatened him the loss
of all he had In tbe world, and bis life to
boot.
The crew stood looking moodily at the
approaching vessel, which came sweep
ing over tbe bright blue sea, with its
huge sails outspread like the wings of a
swan, a perfect picture of beauty, though
it brought death along with it. Some of
the bolder spirits were beginning to mut
ter to each other that it would be better
to set fire to their own ship and die like
men then to be flung into the sea like
dogs, when the captain's gloomy face
suddenly lighted up as nobody had ever
seen It light up yet, and he burst into
such a loud, hearty laugh that the doom
ed men stood amazed to bear him
"Cheer up, lads," be cried, still laughing.
"All's not over with us yet. Come
knock the head out of that cask of but
ter, and smear the deck with it. Sharp
now !"
The men only stared blankly at him,
thinking he had gone man ; and even
the stolid mate opened his mouth In
amazement. "Do you hear?" shouted
the captain. "Look sharp, will you V
There is no time to lose. Grease the
whole deck, fore and aft, and the rig
ging, too, as high as you can reach.
We'll give the rascals a slippery job of
it, anyhow.
Then the Bailors began to understand ;
and the shout of laughter that broke
forth would have mightily astonished
the pirates, had they been within hear
ing. In a twinkling, tbe deck was
greased until it fairly shone, bulwarks
and all. "Now, boys," cried the cap
tain, "on with your sea boots, and put
sand on the soles to keep you from Blip
ping, and then each of you take a hand
spike and be ready.
The pirate was now bo near that tbey
could see plainly the rubble of gaunt,
sinewy Malays, woolly-headed negroes,
and sallow, black-haired Portuguese that
crowded her decks. A few minutes
more, and she ran alongside ; aud almost '
before the two vessels had touched, three
wild figures leaped from the pirate's
rigging upon the merchantman's deck.
But it was a very unlucky jump for all
three. The first man spun across the
slippery deck as if it had been a skating
rink, and went right out on the other
side. Tbe second tumbled head foremost
down tbe hatchway into the cook's gal
ley, where the black cook considerately
piled a heap of iron pans on him to keep
him quiet. "Aha, Massa rirate," said
he, grinning, "dls ship no de 'Flying
Dutchman,' him de Sliding Dutchman!"
The third pirate had leaped on board
as fiercely as if he meant to kill the
whole crew at one blow ; but the only
man he hurt was himself, for he bit bis
head Buch a whack against the mast
that he almost knocked his brains out,
and fell down roaring with pain. All
this bo frightened the other pirates that
they thought the ship must be bewitch
ed, and rushing back to their vessel with
a howl of dismay, wade off as fast as
possible. For many years after, one of
tbe familiar sights of Amsterdam was a
portly old gentleman with a Jolly mf
face, at sight of wbloli tbe boys used to
begin singing,
Tiaiitalii Martin Pietozwn
Made his ship a buttered bun,"
And his wife was never tired of showing
the huge silver butter dish presented to
hlin In honor of his repulse of the pirate
with a cask of butler.
.
THE ORIGIN OF LONDON.
APPARENTLY, the very first Lou
don was a Welsh village an an
cient British village, the history books
would say which crowned the top of
Ludgate Hill, near where St. Paul's now
stands. The old Welsh, who owned
Britain before tbe English took It, were
a race half hunters, half cultivators, as
Cicsar tells us. Iu his time, the Britons,
of the southeastern country, which con
sists of open cultivated plains, were
tillers of the soil ; while those of the hilly
northwest were still nomads, or savage
hunters, dwelling In movable villages,
and having mere empty forts on the
hill-tops, to which the whole population
retreated with their cattle in case of eva
sion. These dim, or hill-forts, still ex
ist in numbers over all England, and
are generally known as "British Camps
Such as Slnodon, Brendon, and Wimble
don still preserve their memory ; while
we are familiar with the Latinized from
in Camalodunum, aud Branodunum,
Dunedln, Dunbar, Dundee, and Dunkeld,
give us Scotch forms of like Implication
Down aud Dun survive as modified mod
ern words from the same root. As a
rule, the syllables dan and don in place
names are sure indications of au old hill
fort. The "castles" or rude earthworks,
which crown almost every height among
the South Downs and the western hills
are tbe last remains of these old Welsh
strongholds. Maiden Castle, near Dor
chester, and the earthworks at Cissbury,
Silchester, aud Ogbury, are familiar in
stances. Even before the Romans came,
however, the river-valleys of the south
east of Briton were inhabited by agricul-
ture tribes, with fixed habitations and
considerable towns. There are two great
basins in Englaud which have always
possessed the highest agriculture Impor
tance ; the one is that of the Thames, .
the other that of the Yorkshire Ouse.
So long as England remained mainly an
agriculture country, the two greatest
cities of the land were the respective
centres of tbe basins, London and York,.
And there has been more than one mom
ent in our history when it might have
seemed doubtful which was to become
ultimately the capital of the whole
kingdom. Now, what made London
the centre of the Thames valley ? for
that of course was the first step towards
making it the metropolis of the British
Empire. Well, the Welsh tribe which
inhabited the lower part of the valley
must have originally needed a dun like
all their neighbors. But there are not so
many conspiclous hills In the flat basin
of tbe Thames between Richmond and,
the sea ; and Ludgate Hill was perhaps,
the best that the Trinobantes of.
Middlesex could get. To be sure, ifr
could not compare with the dun at
Edinburgh, at Dunbarton or at Stirling;
but it was high enough to make a na
tural fort, and it stood just above tha
point where the tide is distinctly felt.
Thus, as the old Welsh became more
and more civilized, a regular town grew
up around the low dun, aud bore from,
the very first its modern name of Lon
don, for no name in England has alter
ed so little with the wear and tear of.
centuries. It was not without natural
advantages of situation ; for a belt of
marshes girt it around on every side,
from the estuary of tbe Lea and the
Finsbury flats to the Fleet river and
London Fen, where the Strand now
stretches. In the interval between Ca
stas Ciesar's abortive attempt upon.
Britain and the reduction of the south
coast under Claudius, we know that a.
considerable trading town developed
around tbe eld village.
tW Like flakes of snow, that fall u u
perceived upon the earth, the seemingly
unimportant events of life succeed one
another, as the snow gathers together,
so are our habits formed. No single ac
tion creates, however it may exhibit, a.
man's character; but as tbe tempest
burls the avalanche down the mountain
and overwhelms the inhabitant and his
habitation, so passion, acting upon the
elements of mischief which pernicious
habits have brought together by imper
ceptible accumulation, may overthrow
the edifice of of truth and virtue.
Big Results From Little Causes.
"Do you know V remarked a mau to
his frieud on Chestnut Street, a day or
two since, " I believe both Conklin and
Piatt had a bad case of skin disease when
they resigned 1" "What makes you
Ihiuk so?" Inquired the listener in aston
ishment. " Well, you see they acted in
such an eruptive manner so rash ly as
it were. Save? Ohl yes, 1 save," re
piled the other, " they were boii lug
over and merely resigned to humor them
selves, I suppose." if such be ih ase,
the National difficulty might have bee a
averted by applyiug Swayue's Ointment
for sklu diseases,
