A SUMMER SlIOWEK. "Sojouwlll not lorijlve mCoayf George Wharton Raked, as he atood In the garden path below, looking tip at her a the learned out of. the old li brary window ot Aahtey Manor house. "No, I will not," "Aud we are to part (or evci f" "I hare told you so." The unforgiving maiden, whose soft, elear voice was lu Itaelf aoontradlntlon ot the ver word It gave ulterauoe to, was looking away with her tearful bluaeyos to the distant hills which were already enveloed in the eveulng mists, and trying not to look where her lover stood anxiously waltlug and watohlug tor alga ot forgiveness. The window almost reached the ground and was shrouded In blossom ing roses. Suddeuly Cosy turned and broke oft a large spray, and directed nil her attention to the task ot smooth" tng out every leaf and peering mys Urlously under every petal, a warm flush gathering on her face. "Darling, forgive met I'll never vex you again I awear III And, Cosy, i was so awfully cut up too." The spray was thrown down at bis feet, the blue eyes regarded hliu with a scornful, flashing anger In their troubled dupthe, aud the rosa-bloom deepeued luto passionate crimson. "You mean you sat for an hour aud a half smoking, for Daisy saw you anioklng those hateful cigars, while I was waltlug tor you, and wondering why you did not come, and fruiting myself to death about you. And you were enjoying yourself all the time, and never thinking or caring Vhat bad beeome of me; and you call that being awfully cut up. i '' 'Com- ," with one hand litld up on the ledge ot the window. "Don't call me that name aaitt, sir. I aru no longer "Cosy to you. Our engagement Is at an end, and the sooner that la known the better." She drew herself away from the caressing hand that aougiit to touch ber, and stood passive and silent by the ourtaln. George Wharton stepped back from the window and threw away the end of a cigar ha had held concealed all this time In bis hand, lie lonkod per- Elexed and angry, although he lifted la straw hat with a profound bow, and said pleasantly and carelessly enonghl "1 have the honor of bidding you a very good-evening, Miss Middlutouf' There was no answer; Cosy had gone. George walked away to tlio very same spot whore he liad spent the greater part of the evening a little summer house, called the llciwor, built nnder one of the tine cedars that spread their dark arms over the grassy lawn. It was a favorite spot of bis, perhaps because he was fret to moke there to his heart's content. "A summer shower dear little girl!" he thought to himself, with a smile, recalling her inddon, girling anger, and remembering how very Sretty she looked with her blue eyes ashing and her cheeks glowing llko damask roses. How strange that she could ever dream of taking horsolf out of his life forever! The rustle of a white dross, the gleam of an exquisite face shrouded in toft satin and lace, a lnugh clear and musical as the notes of a bird, and Cosy bad passed right through the cloud of objectionable smoke leaning on Percy Winyard's arm. and appar ently quite unconscious of any need of anger or regret "I will sing to you to-morrow, and perhaps I will toll you then," the iweet, soft voice was saying. Percy bent lower over the fair speaker and whispered something that George did not hear, but the reply to those low, tender words came back to him suddenly, painfully, like a knife thrust into his heart. He sprung to hla feet and atood by the little green bower trembling with excitement. "Yes, 1 care fur you a little only a Terr, very little." Was it really Cosy who was taken Into Percy's arms and klssod once, twice, under the cedars, with the fragrance of the Portugal laurels around and the moonbeams shining through a rift in the durk boughs over head Gosy, the dear little girl of bis hopes and dreams, the swcot little love for whose sake he had traveled many thousand miles and resigned willingly all the advantages that might hare accrued to him from a longer stay In the land of pagodas and pig tails Could It be that the gay, trifling girl whose merry laugh had roused ban from bis re very was his own sweet Cosy, who, despite her hatred of smoking and her pas sionate temper, hnd so often timid ly confessed her love for him, and in whose pure eyes he had read nothing but truth aud honesty P Oh, It was impossible, simply impossible he could never have been so deceived. "False and cruel as the emblem she wore,", murmured Ueorge, "and I would have staked my life on hor goodness and faithfulness. " " He went Into the little bower, and sitting down by the rickoty wooden ta ble strewn with fancy work and books belonging to Cosy and tier sister, he leaned bis head upon his arms, and a few great sobs struggled upward from his proud wrung heart. All the years before him were a long desolate blank. He must never see her again, the false deceitful girl! lie must tuke up the duties he bad reilgned so gladly only a tew months before, and away, in far country, without home, wifo, or child, his days would henceforth ba passed in a routine of dull monotonous work for his country's service a fu ture uncheered, unlighted by one rny ol coming joy or one smile or kiss. A shadow darkened the doorway, and, with a sudden desporato effort, be went out and faced the intruder. It was Cosy, without the satin hood, and looking very palo, with swolleu red eyelids, and ber pretty evening dress of delioate cashmere wet ana draggled through trailing It over the damp grass and paths. She started back upon seeing ber lover's face and shivered a little as she drew her cling ing dress about ber. "This is your bracelet, I believe," began George, struggling to preserve a dignified resarve and colduoss of uiauuer. "I tumid It here, ouly a tow minute ago," Hutilug the pale fuoe, with the eyea no longer glowing with anger, but full of sorrowful plvadlug and minors, lis could say no more. For surer! moments there was a profound alienee) then George Wharton roused himself, and offerftig htr lh bracelet was about to puss by her, when she laid her hand gently upou hit arm ami so detained him. , "Cosy," h said, almost despairing ly, turning to her aud wouderiug what her tiomluct could possibly mean, "how could you do It when I loved you soP "I am sorry, dear," returned Cosy, trying not to cry again. "I know It was all very wrong- of ma to get into such a rg: but 1 had waited for you so long, aim of eourstt 1 thought Daisy had giveu you my message yon know It' really her fault, after all. 1 had somethiug to tell you something very t.,ipttt. anil wiimii vtili nnvtftl. eailltt.

"Cosy, what are you talking about Have you taken leave ot your senses Dou'r vou know It is not live minutes since I picked np this proof of your heartless conduct the bracelet you now have iu your hand" "The bracelet I Why, what have I done uowf I thought you hated It, so I gave It to Daisy. I'm sure you used to say you haled lu It Is you who have takenloare of your senses." "Dut did you not pass hefe hve min ute aso with Wiuyard" "Daisy did. That is what I wanted to tell you-Datsy aud IVroy." "Um she had your hood ou." "Had she Oh, very likely! We do wear each other's thing lu the most shameful way." "My dnrllug." whispered George, folding her tenderly lu hi arm, "will you, can you ever forgive mcF" "Why.what Is the matter (ioorge 1 thought I was altogether In the wrong this lime; but you did not really be lieve 1 did not love you?" "I did, my sweet one. Heavsu for give met I wronged you lo that ex tent lor a lew momeuts, out i.oay, t will never do It agititt never, uever, darling!" "It was very wrong of you, It you really did," she said, smiling, "aud I don't know ot anv puuishmmit great euougufortha olfouse, Suppose you had gone ou thluking so, how misera ble we should have been alt our live." "Dou't let us spunk ot It any more," George answered gravely. "Cosy I will do auythink In the wm ld to prove how much I love you. I will give up amoktug from thi moment. Dou that pleas youP" Cosy laughed merrily. "Uttorge," she said, looking down at her wet (out, "dou't you thiuk we had better go iutloors You can come into the library if you like, aud smoke, ust for once, to please me, the prov erbial pipe of peace, while 1 promise on my part never to lose my temper again."

Somehow we never like a man whoso ambition Is satisfied with tlio fact that he writes a good "hand." You can't depend upon a man.

' "WCRK DONE" BY MOUNTAINEERS. CaleaUtlnn of the For Kipeaded by Man Who Cllauna a Milt. i time exerted by the human bodyundei j cert ui n conditions Is known to be as tounding, hut no one has ever taken the trouble to put More us that force iu ligiirvs. Dr. J. BuchhnlHter ha now mado a most Interesting calculation on the "work done" by mountaineers In ascending height, which will serve as an illustration. Supposing a moun taineer weighing 16S jxiiimls I making the ascent of summit (MHH) feet high from the point of starting, he has to exiend an amount of physical force found by multiplying hi' weight by tho Ijcight to he a.soeuded. In the case assumed a w eight of 16$ pound plus a height of 7.000 feet equal 1 176.000 fo..t-itini!s; or, in other wonl, 1,170, I.) pound have lo be lifted 1 foot This I work performed merely by the muscles of the leg; but, beside thl. the contractions of the muscle ol the heart have to lie taken Into ac count. It function consists, as I well known, lu propelling the blood collect ing iu the heart, ou the one hand, into tho arteries, and, on the other, Into the lung. Thi 1 effected at an initial velocity of 1 1-2 feet per second, which represents in the cose of an adult a work of 4 foot pouuds for each con traction of the heart Tho pulsation of an adult are on the average Ti per minute, but In ascending height, ow ing to the additional exertion, their number I increased to au extraordin ary extent. " , Assuming, for the sake of simplicity In calculation, only 100 bents ot the pulse per minute, this would give 400 foot-pounds per minute, 24,000 foot pound per hour, tvud 120,000 foot pounds for tho live hours supjiosod to be required in ascending a height of 7,. 0(H) feet. The work iM-rfurmed by the muscles in breathing, , by the expansion and contraction of the Chest, may also bo estimated at 4 foot-pounds. Assum ing, further.thut the number of breath lugs per mluuto is ou tho average only twenty-live, although, as mutter of fact, It will be found to lie higher lu t mountain ascent lasting live hours, we have to add further Work of 30,000 fool pound. ' Tho total work performed during five hours by a mounluineer consequently amounts to 1,320,000 foot-pounds, lit this estimate ore not Included the pnysieui iorce spent in overcoming the notion on the ground, the exertions to be mado lu keeping tlto body erect at dizzy heights and iu dragging heavy boots and foot-irons, nor tlio loss ol muscle power In cutting steps in the loo, not to reckon tho work performed in carrying an Ico axe, or the physical force exerted In crossing fresh, loaf suow. Taking all these conditions Into account, Dr. But-hhuister arrives at thf conclusion that tho work done in au ascent of 7,000 feet, lasting five hours, ennnot bo placed nt less tliuu 1,880,000 foot-pounds.

John Stetson, w ho m manager of Booth' Theater and the Fifth Avenue Theater some years ago. hasn't very much of artistic In hi makeup, but be has good deal of what be call "horse sense." He doesn't intend that any actor shall get the best of bim. Some years ago comic opera, called "Pii pens." was produced at his theater in Boston, the Globe, and in the course of the performance n asuiateur actor who has beeome quite well known a a manager since then appeared on the stage, clad in white furs and made up to represent an immense cat, and "mlaued" nd capered about the stage tor something like ten minutes. The little specially did not take well with the first night's audience, and Stetson I once ordered pussy out ot the cant. The amateur demanded a week' sal ary at once, saving that he bad been engaged for a full week. "Very well," said Stetson, "come around to-morrow night, and through the week, and earn it." The young man appeared the second night, and remained on the stage un til the curtain fell. Then be turned lo go, but Mr. Stetson stopped him. "Get Into your costume and give your performance," said the mauager, "But Mr. Stetson, the performance is over." "Never mind the rest of the show. Yon have got to do your part of it now for me." And so the actor had to "mlan aud caper" tor ten minutes with Stetson a the only auditor. The next night he tried to beg off. and offered to give up a proportional part ot the salary, but Stetson held bim to the agreement to play the part of Pnsa tor a week. Sometimes the nmuager remained to witness tho youug man' efforts, and sometimes be kept a group of stage bauds as an audleuce. the actor thought that ho. had fully earned hi salary when he got it. i Horrible Ptinlshincnt.
