Finally bin glance fell on the little old lady. "Mother!" be cried In a delighted voice. "My John; my John!" And the two were clapped In n loving embrace so genu lne as to cause tears to rise In the eyes of one of the passengers, and the rest looked on in an interested manner. "Where are Frank and Emmaf" he In quired. "They have gone Into the dining car. Emma isn't well, you know, and lias to nave a good, hot dinner." She repeated this in an apoliigt'tic way, for she saw a look In John's eyes that she did not fail to read, and Frank was lie not her son toof "But you dldn t wish any dinner, I suppose."

Nothing look worne than a drew whom, alcovea hang down over the IiiiimIh, and aa there are many , women wliui-e arum are quite long a I model' unim niiiHt.lie at leunt full np to ; the average to till out the d reuses made 1 to meet the demands of tliette cuntomern, The oilier phynit'al ri'inirementi are a long waint, a !W-inch Imnt, a it-inch belt and a 4!l-inch skirt. These iroportiniia are what maimfau- turera and merchanta have found to lie the average. Very few women, except the very fut, will vary more than an inch or two either way from these meaa- nrementa, and if a model la quirk and intelligent and of the given proportion almost any dreas can be made to look well on her by the aid of a few pins deftly thrust in at the right place. These dimensions will ulways insure a girl a good position, for New York fairly awanna at the beginning of each season with out of town buyers who are only too glad by the assistance of a good model to aid them iu the selection o their wearing apparel. They claim, ard rightly, too, that it is an advantage t aee tlieir dresses on another woman. They can then judge of them better thau they can by standing liefore a niirror with the dresH on themselves, and be. sides the trouble of donning and duffing a dress, with all ita accompanying in conveniences, is thug avoided. While the figure ia the ninin thing. however, a girl with a pretty face cnu obtain a better position than one who ia plum in feature other things being equal, A good beau of hair of a nut very pronounced color too, is a desider atum. Besides this a model should be able to converse correctly and agreeably: she must be patient and strong, go aa to stand ull day long if necessary. English girls ure undoubtedly the first choice for dress models. They are likely, more thau the girls of any other coun try, to have what is known as the "trade figure." There are also a good number of French and Americans, but very few of any other nationalities. A yearly trip to Europe is among the perquisites of good models, who are at the same time good business women, If they are shrewd they not only clear their expenses for tlieir employers, but secure good commission besides. They go to Paris and London and have pattern resses made to tit them. These they wear at least once, then pack them in their trunks. If the customs officers challenge one of these returning models she has but to put on the garments which have excited the suspicions of the officers to prove that they were made for ber. They always fit to a T, and the offi cer is readily convinced that a mistake had been made, i Arrived in New York these dresses serve as patterns of the latest London Parisian designs, npon which nre made many others for consumption in the home market. But their usefulness loes not ojways end there. After serv ing their purpose, the alterations neces sary to make them fit a short or Blight figure are very easily effected, and they bring a good price. Employers are liberal with good mwV els; so after figuring up the value of the dresses, both for patterns and for mer chandise, the model is paid n generous commiHsioii on the amount over and above the expenses of her trip, Good models lire paid good salaries. Their pay is of course regulated by the size of the house by which they are em ployed. In the medium sized establish ments they receive '.'0 or S5 a week. and in the largest houses they receive flu), f 10 and iu some cases even as high as ru. But their duties are trying to both body and nnud, and there are very few who remain in the business for any great length of time. They are at the beck and call of every woman who in tends to purchase a dress or cloak nnd are turned iilxiut like dummies. Often their figures will not stand the strain for more than two or three years, in which case tlieir places are taken by fresh models, and often they find the constant mental strain too wearing and seek other and less remunerative posi tions.

Ml as Blanche Kliznlwth Alice Queen had reached the conclusion that ber long nama had been bnrne too lung, and that as at the age of thirty-nine she had an opportu nil y presented to change it, she would have it changed to the shorter name of Mm. Chester Gregg. After telling Mr. Chester Gregg, in ply to a question rat her vaguely expressed, whose meaning was grasped nevertheless, that she was willing to have her long name merged In la is short one, she wrote to ber brother Reginald Queen and In formed him of her prospective wedding, She gave him, besides this, an account of Mr. Chester Gregg, which presented that gentleman to hi in as one who, being too good for this world, should certainly have been at that very moment flying with wings of his own through the celes tial ether. Having doubts as to Mr. Gregg's right to claim such qualities, Mr. Queen determined on a visit to his sister in order to make a personal inspection of this paragon as a lover and husband in embryo. He therefore wrote to bis sister and told her that be was coming. In his letter he insisted that during his visit he should be known by the name of George Paltry only. Me said further that he would never for give her If, hy any act, she led her lover to believe that they were related. Mr. Gregg, during his visit, wns to have the idea con veyed to him that tbe man called Paltry was her lawyer, who had come to see her In regard to some country property of which she was possessed, Mr. Gregg was a quick tempered man, having a llery race, brown eyes, hair turn' Ing gray and a pointed beard and heavy mustache. A marked quality of his was an unreasonable antipathy to lawyers, Mr. Reginald Queen greatly resemhled him In appearance, one noticeable differ ence being the circular bald spot on the top or bis bead, wbicb looked as If it had been placed there on lines drawn by a car penter's compass. His nose was large, pear shaped and red, and his temper was as quick as the temper of the would lie benedict Gregg. It happened that when Mr. Queen reached town the two men met by accident at his sister's door. Each, with an air of being perfectly at home, which was aston siting to tbe other, attempted to enter the front uoor at tbe same time, hacb discov eredand both at tbe same moment that this wns something which could not be done. The faces of both together began to get red, and It was doubtful for a time which was getting red the faster. Seeing at last that they could not get In together, they got out together. Who and what are your' Queen ex claimed. "Queen that is, Palfry." "Queen that is, Palfry," responded Gregg. Palfry." "Paltry t" "Palfry, I said." Queen that Is, Pnlny. Last name a sort of rider to tbe first," said Gregg. "1 see. But It don't sound natural sonehow like Jones, for example. Too theatrical. Won't do," said he, for he suspected that Mr. Queen had come there for no good pur pose. "Now never you mind about my name," said Mr. Queen "Ah, but I do mind about your name, because," said the excitable and jealous Gregg, "it's such a very astonishing one I've got quite a right to mind about it!" A tall lady, with light hair, pink checks and blue eyes appeared at this moment at the door. Drawing back with surprise she satil, "Keginnldl" "Pnlfryl Palfryl Palfry I" exclaimed her impat ient brother by way nf caution. "Yes that Is, Queen," said Gregg, who supiiosed that the other gentleman, when he had first used the name by mistal.-e had been trying to make use of a name th.ii did not belong to him. Upon reaching the sitting room It hap pened that, because of tbo lady's surprise, her brother's excitement and Mr. Gregg's Jealousy, the conversation was carried on chiefly in the dumb show of inquiring, angry nnd jealous looks the looks of in quiry coming from Miss Queen, those of anger from her brother and those of jeal ousy from Mr. Gregg. Mr. Queen, into whose head it did not nee enter that Mr. Gregg wns the model of perfection nnd an angel In tbe flesh who had been described In his sister s letter, awaited his departure impatiently. Mr. Gregg, on the other hand, saw In the per son so uncertain nliout his own name an old lover of Miss Queen's. As by constant practice he had become quite an expert in sitting long and late, he saw on the pres ent occasion an excellent opportunity to put his powers In that direction to their full test, and he determined to sit the new man out. Conversation had almost ceased. "Do you live in tbe city P' Mr. Queen asked of Mr. Gregg after a long silence. "Always," said Mr. Gregg, "when 1 don'i live elsewhere. Do your" Mr. Gregg had intended to state a fart by his llrst remark nothing more. Supposing, however, that Mr. Gregg bad lutended to be facet ious at hisexpeuse, Mr. Queen replied: "1 don't live in town when I do live else where." "Ah " :-'d i (Ire.r,. lirleflr. "I see." tie closed liis iiiuiith and fur leu iiiiuuua keiit it el'l-ed. "Any business in thecltyf" Mr. Queen asked incautiously at I he end of t hat time. Have jou?-' aked Mr. Gregg, with much significance. "Important business," replied Mr Queen, while bis nose grew mure and more like an emlier blown by a liellnwa. The men relapsed into a mutual stare. They fell next to "day dreaming." .Mr. dregg, I eel ing that politeness to a guest of the Inly called upon bimtoaay something, especially as he thought that the other hail spoken, said' "Did you speak?" "Did . rout" asked ihe suspicion Queen, who believed that Mr. Gregg had again at tempted to lie faeeliiins at his expense. "No," said Ifretig "Thiiunht not." "Why did yon ask, then'" inquired Mr. Gregg. "Same Mentha! reason," responded Mr. Queen, "made you ask." They bad railed at hilf past B in the evening. But when the clock in the white tower of the town ball had struck ita "tarm! tarni!" twelve iiine neither bad thought of leaving. But at I v minute P"" 14 Mr- lir-K: "P 'h' '""i'- Mt the bou'' ""!

This man's back was turned toward him. Concluding Hint be was an ineen diary, and springing over the fence. M Gregg walked lo a summer house from which he watched him. 1 he man onened the uoor or ine alien nun entered It, ami a moment Ihe light of a caudle was seen it-earning through the keyhole of 11 door. Going up to this shell, and neerlnu through this keyhole, Mr. tiregg bud hardly lime to observe Ihe lun k of a man. who was gathering up some legal document from a Imjx, when the light was blown out, Mr. Gregg stepped aside, and when thli man, who had nut Iscn recognized by him came out ot I lie alien, as lie now siiuikw. him to be a burglar, hu sprung upou him with the anility ur a monkey. The tw rolled over together on the ground, but Mr. Gregg was soon oi, top, with his knee in the breast of Mr. Queen, for II was he, Mr. Queen gave utterance to rapid shout of "murder:" In succession, which set the dogs to barking for miles around. ' I ve a ininii to muruer you, sure enough!" said Gregg. At this point the outline of a female bead, with niinintur crosses upon it, apiieared on a window cur lain In the upper story nt the' buck part of the bouse. Then the window wmt np anil a Head covered witn curl papers looked cautiously out. "Who are youf" asked the lady. "I'm being murdered!" cried her brother. but be was unable to say more, fur Mr. Gregg tightened the bold which bo bad tiiNiii his throat. "Who are youf" Miss Queen agnin cried, "Me and a burglar that I caught," Mr. Gregg answered. "I've got him fast, and he won't Lnvm anything now!" The light above vanished, and a couple of unbuttoned shoes were heard moving down tbe back stnirway. A door was un ooitcd, nnu i ne limy, in a loose wrapper ami curl papers, smkkI at the back entrance to tbe bouse. "My brother!" she cried, when the light from the lamp fell upon the man beneath the ollicious Uregg, tbe brother who had come to town to learn something of the character of Mr. Gregg, with this result. "lour wbatr screamed the suddenly Interested Gregg. "Brother!" said the lady as she dropped the lump, which fortunately was extin guished by the fall. les, sirl ie, sir! Jler brother! ' suid Mr. Queen, whose throat had been released and upon whose mind the true situation wns beginning to ilaw u. It was evident to him now that the man who bad been choking hi Mi was the one described as mild mannered and saintly in the letter which bis sister had written. I hniie it can't be that you are her brother!" said Mr. Gregg in a voice full of eloqueut put bos. Oh, now, am I her lirotberf " said Mr. Queen, whose sore throat inclined him to bo sarcastic. "Well, maybe uot; but if not, at any rate I'm her twin." "Will you ever forgive me?" the panting Gregg asked. It depends," said Mr. Queen, "alto gether on whether you have I liese peculiar attacks often." What an awful and desolate mule 1 have made of myself!" said Gregg. It seems so to me," said Mr. Queen. I suppose you're the ono engaged to my sis ter?" '1 once had that honor," Gregg replied, "but having given such clear proof of bow weak minded I am, I don t suppose any woman on earth would think of having me for a moment now." His tone nf utter self a basement and hu milintion appealed quickly to the heart of his late foe, which was a generous one. Tbe moon, which had been behind a cloud, now beamed through it, and when it did so It saw Mr. Queen, whose nature was as generous as it was hot tempered, placing his sister's hand iu the band of the Happy Gregg. After tint be shook the baud of Mr. Gregg, tellii g bun that he was a courageous fellow; that being courageous he had doubtless other good qualities. Then turning to his sister he said, "Be sides, Blanche, you are old enough to udge for yourself now, and you would have your own way anyhow." Notwithstanding the doubtful nature of the compliment, his sister wns satisfied.

It has been rumored iu Loudon for a yearor more that tbe princess wns likely to be married to Lord Hoseliery, but lack ing verification the rumor gained little credence. Tbe British public had been fooled by similar reports too often, far tbe KK-lps of English aristocratic life have been giving the princess in marriage to various wife hunters of high degree ever since she reached a marriageable age.

THE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF A WELL-KNOWN BUSINESS MAN. lladly 'rliiled With Itheuiiiallam Thai II I.oat All Tower of reel anil Lea How He Waa Cured, r nun Ihe Kan Prsnclaco Chronicle.) M, K. Douglas, a young man who oh us and runs harness shop out at 2(112 Mis sion street in this city, tells a tale of a remarkable cure of rheumatism alter bo had suH'crnd for several years, anil had almost given up Imping that it could be cured. That Mr, Douglas' cure is per maiit'iit is amply demonstrated by the fact it waa ellet'ted two vears ago, and rheumatism has not troubled him at all since that time. It was iu regard to bis recovery that a Chronicle reporter called upon Mr. Ihiug his a few days ago. The young man told the following story: "Alsuit four or five years ago I tagun to m much troubled bv severe nuiiis in in v feet and ankles, and it annoyed me so greatly that I could only keep at work with dilticulty. 1 began to think that 1 was standing on my feet too much, nnd would have to manage to do easier work. 1 was in a liarnessiimker r shop then. About that time I read of a disease of tbe feet which is contracted in tho Her man army. I decided that I had the same disease, and read up the remedies used for it and tried them. Of course, tbey did no good. I then tried hot wa ter bathing, and also used mustard wa ter. I gut some relief from the bathing, but it was only temporary, and my trouble was constantly increasing. At last I went to a phvsician, and lie gave me a prescription, but it did no good. I was now so badly off that the acute pain had gone upbevond tbecalvesof mv legs. I used to have to sit down very often, and frequently when I would try to stand I would fall right over. I completely lost power over my feet nnd legs, and was al most paralvzed. Finally 1 determined that I would have to let the disease wear itHidf out. You see, we aro all natives of Can , My lather, mother and I used to live at Woodstock. Ontario. We trot the Woodstock Sentinel Review, which con tained a number of reports about the i ..i .i i 1 i. 1 wuiiuiTiui properties oi a ineoicinecaiieu Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. I thought that, if one-auarter or one- tenth of what was said about them was true, they might do me some good. We got tJ-'.nO worth of them, and I began to lake them without much regularity and without thinking much about tlieir cur ing me. I lust took them when I thought oi it, two or three at a time as they hap pened to come nandy. 1 was also sutler ing from a severe attack of piles, which gave me a great deal of trouble. After 1 had been taking the Pink Pills awhile I noticed that the piles left me. and then my rheumatism just went away from me so easily that I hardlv thought of it un til it was gone. I bad given up all other treatment, and was taking nothing but the pills; so it must have been the pills that cured ine. I took more, and in fact take some still. We always keep them in the house now. Tbey give yourcheeks fine, healthy glow, and keen von feei ng well all the time. Mv rheumatism was completely cured, and lias not troub led me for two vears. " My grandfather, John Douglas, is still living in Canada, lie was quite ell acquainted with this very Dr. Will iams who first compounded the pills, and nows that he has the verv best of stand ing in the community. ' 1 cheerfully recommend the fink Pills, and I think that any one who takes them is sure to receive benefit. As I said, we still keep the nills in the house all the time, and would not lie witlioitl tliem. ' Mr. Douglas is 20 vears of age. He has been in San Francisco for the best part of his life.
