' 444 4444444444444 (is im I Reginald's Bride. m 144444444444444444444444444 AUION OllEY wits tho child of wealthy piirunts, hnvlusr been brought up lu luxury ami glveu a good education. Her mother died when she was 12 years of ago, leaving her father to rear his mother less child as best he could. Ills business did not prosper after his wife's death, and through tho dis honesty of his partner ho became al most reduced to bankruptcy. He went to work with the men that ho had for merly employed, working night and day, straining his eyes to their utter most, ami dually causing total blind ness. At this ho sold his property und Marlon was obliged to go to work. She engaged ti small tenement and searched dally for work, but to no nvnll. On returning homo one dny, tired and disheartened, her father said to her: "Marlon, Mrs. Young called here to-day, and Is going abroad with her husband, und would like to Und a trustworthy person to take the euro of her little boy, Harold. She heard of. our circumstances, and thought that you might take this position as govern ess, and yet be near your old father. What do you think about It, my dear?" "Well, father," said Mnrlon In a cheerful tone, for slio never allowed her father to see her downhearted, "do you think that you could stand the an noyance of this child, for ho Is but ft years of ago and has been Indulged greatly?" "My daughter," said her father, "It does seem as If this Is a plan by which you can meet tho expenses and yet bo near mo during the day." Nothing more was said, and tho fol lowing tiny Marlon called on Mrs. Young and everything was settled sat isfactorily. She brought Harold homo with her, for he had been attracted to Marlon at once, and Mr. and Mrs. Young were to snll tho following day. Tho Youngs were people of wealth and attended the same church as Marlon had done from childhood, and they felt well pleased at being able to lltnl such a trustworthy person with whom to leave Harold. Marlon wits lu the habit of taking Harold for a stroll during the latter part of the day, and It was during one of these strolls that Harold exclaimed: "Why, auiith, wo meet that gentleman every day." The gentleman, hearing tho remark, turned and said: "Good-afternoon." "(lood-afteruoon, sir," said Marlon. "I'anloii me, but tho child called you 'auntie.' May I ask If ho Is your nephow'e" nald tho gentleman. "O, no, sir! I am Miss d'roy, and hnvo charge of him for a few months while his parents are abroad," said Marlon. "I am fond of children, and I should Judge that this lad Is about tho same ago as my young brother, whom I hnvo not seen since a babe." After haying n few words to Harold, he wished them good-afterunnu and passed on. Marlon called Harold and walked leisurely home, little knowing what au Impression she had made on this now acquaintance. I'pon entering the house Harold exelalniid: ''O, ginntlpa, wo met a real nice gentleman, and he talked with auntie!" Mr. Grey made no reply, but during tho evening asked Marlon who tho gentleman was. Marlon teplled that it was one that they had met fretient ly lu their strolls, and Harold had opened tho conversation by his child ish remarks. "Ills name Is Mr. Iteg Innld Stacey, and ho lives next door," she said. "Stacey!" repeated Mr. Grey. "That sounds familiar. I once had dealings with one by that name, but ho has passed away." As time passed the meetings between Marlon and her ft lend became more frequent, and what was at iirst a meio acquaintance soon ripened Into a deep direction, until one day Reginald said: ".Mai Ion, I am going away to complete my education, but there Is something Hint I wish to tell you before going." "Mnrlon, I have loved you from llrst sight, my dear," said Heglnnld. "IJut, Iteglnald, what of my father? I lovo you. but I cannot lenvo him," said Marlon. "You and your father shall never bo separated," he answered. After spending bomo time In ranking promises and endearing words, he bade her a fond gooil-by. That evening Marlon told her fnther tho whole story. A little later on sho received letters from Heglnnld, and often wondered why ho did not speak about his people In them, but, thinking that tho year would soon pitss, and having her tlmo taken up with Harold and her father she decided that on his return sho would ask him about them. As time THE OLD MAN AN' ME. ', z'UsS jmt M j'ttvtn, . ., i.y."fltr. i V. (.ltur rnturiinil frnm nlirnml itnfi . Harold home, pnylng Marlon well. On her next visit to Mnrlon and her father Mrs. Young stnted that sho wished her to como with her a few dajs to help prepare for her older son's home-coming, nnd that sho was to bring her father also. Marion was downhearted, for she hnd not heard from Heglnnld for some time. In his Inst letter he had said that he had graduated and his parents had returned home, nnd that he would soon Join her. Marlon took up her new work, trying to bo satisfied, and on tho day of tho arrival of the expected one, this being Mrs. Young's older son, Mnrlon was In the sewing-room, and suddenly tho door opened and In enme Harold, sny lug: "My big brother has come," nnd Mnrlon, looking up, exclaimed: "O, Heglnnld !" and he clasped her to him In a fond embrace. At this moment Mnrlon's fnther and Mr. nnd Mrs. Young entered the room, nnd Marlon demanded nn explanation from them, which Mrs. Young lnughlngly gnve. "1 was once Mrs. Stacey, and my son nnd 1 were separated soon uftor his father's death. I then married Mr. Young, whose son you have had tho care of during the Inst year and one half. Iteglnald had not seen Harold since n baby, and, as I had not told him the name of the person with whom I had left Harold, ho did not know ho was the child lu your cure, although he felt strongly nttrneted to him. After ho came abroad to us and told us of you, wo decided to keep things hidden from you until his return, wishing to surprise you and your fnther. We will be happy to see you nnd Heglnnld nnd your father settled In n home of your own." After n few words with Hegln nld nnd Is mother, Mr. Grey fount! out why tho nnino Stncey hnd sounded so familiar to him, for Reginald's fnther hnd been tho one with whom Mr. Grey had had dealings In the past. Boston l'ost. SAVED FROM DEATH BY VAPOR. IUh I'crHpiratlon Protected ti I'nildler from Itilury by Molten Iron. Hy the timely prevention of a strango law of nature little known save to Hclcullllc men, one of the workmen nt llaltlwln's Locomotive works escaped from what, under oidlnary circum stances, would have been absolutely certain death. The puddllng-rnom of this factory contains it largo number of Immense caldrons, In which tho Iron Is melted and purlllcd. The laborer wheels his barrow containing the ore up an Inclined piano to their op.'ti mouth a height of three feet from tho lloor, anil then empties the barrow Into the caldron. Joseph Connor, one of the puddlers, was totally uuclothid from his waist upward. Ho had been nt work scarcely live minutes yesterdny when one of bis fellow workmen gave a cry which til rVcted tho nttoutlouof thecutlrefortct work to the awful situation Into which Connor hud got himself. Heading over the molten liquid, his head and chest completely Immersed In Its depths, ho was holding by his hands to the edge nnd trying, uppniontly, to draw back from the terrible position Into which ho had fallen. It was nt once evident that Connor hud somehow missed his foot lug und fallen partially Into tho boiling metal. Fellow workmen at onco rushed to the spot und he wits hastily dragged out. Everyone exp cted to Hud hi. fiuo and chest a hideously charred mi.si and some of tho men had already turned aw ay their eyes rather than g izo n th j terrible sight they expected would bo presented. Hut to the amazement of Ills rescuers, save for the loss of his hair, Connor was absolutely uninjured. Not a dlsllguretnent, not a burn, not even it blister wns to be seen. The workmen wet p badly scire I by tl.o seeming marvel. Later the puddling manager explained the matter to the men. A combustible body may bo preserved from Ignlt'on when In contact with n sc-rce of heat by being surrounded by nn atmosphere of vapor. In the case of Connor the man hud be gun to perspho und on contact with tho molten metal this perspiration formed u gaseous covering that protected his skin. Ills hair, of course, was not so shielded und suffered In consequence, but with this except 'on he was uninjur ed. Philadelphia Inquirer. iih chi-r cono i'ii. A patty of excursionists vls'tlng n largo city on one of tho Great LiiIhm during tho summer went out one line morning for a sail. There were several enthusiastic amateur photographers nn board, and In their zeal ror taking "snap-shots" of the shore scenery as they sailed along they did not notice that the wind was freshening and the lake becoming rough. At last, however, an unusually high wave rocked the boat, nnd one of the young men standing near the gunwale lost his balance und pitched headlong Into tho water. Ho was a good swimmer, but It was several minutes befoie the boat could be rounded to, and when ho was Dually rt ached with tho aid of a lino and diag ged on board ho was almost exhausted. "That was a narrow escape, Chailey," said one of his friends, ufter the young man had partially iecoered his breath, and wns able to speak. "Yes!" ho gasped. "Another lurch llko tiint, ami my camera would have gone overboard!" Dtrfei-ont Ideas its to Olotlion. If tho native women of Sumatra hnvo their knees pioperly coveted tho jest does not matter.
