This with mild gnnsixm, for seven
dj out of each week doe Tony Tail
lock II iid his way at gome hour or oth
er to the garden at Kosemoiul.
Letty Colon! Letty Coles! Whore
are you Lettv ColosP"
This time the hanpy young voice Is
nearer; its owner litis iopxd at the
low hedge, and after leisurely survey
luar the sunlit (rttnleii, espied Letty
dttiutly poised among: her fttvorltles, a
half luminous, half mischievous look
on her dnrk brilliant face.
Ah, there you are in a perfect
extravagtiniea of roses blush, crimson,
yellow, 'white yourself the fairest,
IXm't be ridiculous, Tony," luii)jhs
Miss Coles. But she adores her roses,
and is not offended nt a very trite com
pliment, gluco Tony Ruts it off. "Are
they not lovelvf" site continues, pick
inga withercJ leaf from the (lower Just
potted.
"Only see how well my ltty Cole
is iliilnir," he says, clenrt'ti); the Utile
gute with a btmtid, and eiHiiintf to Iter
with a hunch of Iter lovely, fntntut
oainesnkes iu his hand. "1 transplant

glorious rose it la, with its imsslouute
crimson heart! Somehow, 1 fancy if
that rose could feel, it would sulfur fur
more terribly than your Nephltosor
jVcrlo tics Jardius, with their pale
petnls."
"Oh, don't!" cries Letty Coles, with
a shiver, in spite of the Juno suiishiue
that is rollicking about her in a way to
set cold at detlauce; then she adds, with
self-directed disgust, "What uonsensti!
I was about to get superstitious," aud
goes on pottering among her roses.
His laughing eves follow her grace
ful movements for a moment. They
are nico eyes, those of Tony Tad lock's,
soft ami gray, and overbrimming with
happiness this sweet June morning.
"iiow I wonder if you can keep a se
cret, Letty Colo, a secret 1 have come
all the way from Cupid's towers to toll
you. I am to le married -married,
Letty Coles, and 1 want my eungnitu.
lutious lirst from your lips.'1
"Married?" They me brave eyes
she ruises to his, ami yet time was
when Letty Coles extiectud him to ride
over from Cupid's towers through lit
beautiful golden fields with a different
itory for her ears.
There is a moment of silence after
that word, but during that moment so
much has died out of her life that it
seems to her a small century has passed
and she wonders that Tony has not
tired of standing there waiting for hcrt
sneak, lint a moment is soon ovur,
the dead soon buried, and drawing off
the big dogskin gloves in which she al
ways gardens, she lays both hands
frankly in his and speaks the wortls he
is waiting to hoar. Memory is strong
within her lust now, cruelly strong!
it recalls the long sweet days that are
post, when such shadowy, transparent
exouses have brought 1'ony to Kose
mend; a brace of bints, a lucky Nim
rod has brought down, a string of shin
ing tish to testify to the success of
Izaao Walton's xeulous disciple, a rare
cutting from the rose houses at Cupid's
towers, over the sotting out of which
their hands bad often met, for of course
Tony must assist, or how wits he to
know if her work was well done?
Though, for the matter of that, It Is an
open question whether or not he can
tell the difference between a cabbage
rose and a tea rose, and he has been
detected In a sneaking preference
for the old York and Lancaster over all
the later varieties that have been propa
gated. How or when this easy friendship
which bas characterized their relations
since childhood has grown Into some
thing warmer with Letty Cuius the girl
herself docs not know; but there it is
staring her boldly in the face, and
sending a sickening sense of pain
through every liber, while Tony, all
unconscious of the fooling he bas
awakened, proses on about his lore.
"She Is beautiful, Letty Coles, this
dainty Pcrle ties Jardins of mine, so
beautiful! And Cupid's towers Is but
a uroa. , K, to which to bring her.
You will come to see her often, will
you not? You will brighten up the
dull old life for her as neither mother
nor I can do? You will be a sister to
her, Letty Coles?"
So Letty Coles promise J; so Letty
Coles sees him ride away on Cray
Eagle, the noble animal that has
brought him to her so often while she
stands Idly at the garden gate, the
cluster of Letty Coles roses burning in
her hands. And she wonders, wonders,
wonders, in a dull, benumbed way, if
it is true, if these crinison-hoalod flow
ers would suffer more than tlio golden
l'crle des Jardins yonder; if this fttir
young love of Tony's could ever feol
this tierce gnawing pain, if she should
lose Tony, that she, Letty Coles, is
feeling now.
Ah, very fair, very young, Is Tony's
love, Lntty Coles thiiikn, when she
makes the misernblo little first call ou
the britle that is expected of her. And
fralll The girl's hoart aches within
her at the sight of the delicate creature;
and by-and-by the old crones begin to
shako their heads, and talk about "de
clines," and to ask each other if Vesta
Tadlock's family is consumptive. It
begins to bo so evident that she Is slip
ping out of life, away from Teny.
"You must send her south," says
Letty Coles, one day. She had just
been for a visit to the Invalid, whom
she found free from pain, but terribly
weak. Tony, broken - hearted, and
almost beside himself, has been sitting
for two woary hours In the library, his
brown head bowed on the table. Lettv
Coles sees him as she Is passing through .
the long, gloomy hall, and of course
she goes to him. Letty has never in
her life seen suffering in the humblest of
God's creatures without seeking to al
leviate It, and her heart is bleeding for
her old long-ago playmate's sorrow.
"1'horo is no hope," he answers,
wearily. '
"There Isalwavs hope, always, Tony.
rs long as tiod's gift of life remains,"
the tnvs, gently. "Send her to Flor
ida. The ullmale must benwllt her."
"1 cannot send tier among strangers.
Mother nerves unlit her for nursing,
and bnsinest complications will pre
vent me from leaving home for mouths.
I must keep myseli lu a position to
supply her with' every comfort whlli
tht needs It, and my absence would h
Unanulitl rulu just now,"
"Will you trust her to ma Tuny?"
laying her hands tenderly ou his head,
as a sister might. "Heel 1 am strong
well; my nerves are like steel. Will
you trust me to takt your darlitig?"
"Trust you? At I might trust an
angel a saint anything uusullish aud
noble. Dut I have do right to ask tuoh
a saeriliee of you."
"Never mind that; there ought to bt
no talk of tacrlllee between us, Tony.
One do you not remember it? you
asktm me to M to iter a sisier; you
must let me fulllll that promise now,
will you not?"
Aud Tony in hit gratitude, thinks
there It not a woman lu the whole
world equal to this one, anil even has
his doubu of the saint aud angels, to
whom he lists just alluded. So they go
to Florida, Letty Coles and Vesta Tad
look. Hut not even Florida, with all Its
sutishlue and' (lowers and salubrious
climate, tKaks ought of hone of health
to the lovely Invalid, and lotty Colct
fean that she has brought Tony's wife
here to die, Teny has written to nut
them under the care of an old friend of
his, an eminent physician, wintering lu
the state. He pays daily visits to tht
hotel where they am slopping, but he
fives no eneountgtunont, though at
rst be is ready to lay down his life for
Tony, and later for well, Tony't
wife, let u say, for Indeed he is sIiiku
larly attracted toward the young crea
ture. "Is there nothing to be doner Letty
Coles asked of him one day, as they
ar talking out of earshot of the In
valid, beside whom a stout, middle
aged woman Is sitting,
"Nothing, I fear. There art In
stances where, In cases like hers, trans
fusion hat beeu knuwn to be twnellelal,
but I doubt the efliunoy of such an
operation with your sister'
Mist Coles does not notice the word
sister.
"Transfusion?"
"She needs now, healthful blood. It
Is just possible that It might with good
elfuct be supplied to her from the veins
of another person. There would ba
some dilllculty iu finding a suitable
subject, I fear, aud it is scarcely a
hotie,"
Letty Cole's dark eyes rest for a mo
ment on his. They are very beautiful
eye, and though he Is a gealoitt ad
vocate of celibacy though, he lias al
ready taken Immense care to Inform
Miss Coles, "he is wedded to Ids profes
sion," h,1 heart gives a sudden hammer-like
throb, well conducted orgau
that It is; fur Dr. KsUvor is human,
after all, In spite of these little anil
marriage notions of his, and this bit of
pathetic feminine beauty quite "does"
him.
Of this, however, Miss Coles is dig
tresaiugty unoousclous; she is wonder
ing, sadly onough, how she Is ever to
enter Cupid's towers again, ever face
Tony Tadlock, If this lust hope dies as
have the rest.
"Transfusion? Yes, yes.P eagerly
we will try iu"
And so they do; and it Is an artery la
Letty Cole's own linn, round arm tlmt
pours out its rich treasures, of lieu lilt,
hope, aud life for Tony' darling
Letty Coles, whose life has been spent
In tne open air, whose health fit to
gloriously perfect, who It so ready to
aorillce everything for tho eweot hope
of giving the young wlfo back to her
huahnnifs arms. Kxnitly this does
Miss Coles do, and marvelotisly glad is
the to do iu
Another June lies over tho land.
Letty Coles's rose garden Is something
worth a journey to we, all a-riot as they
are with loveliucs. Itlossoms and
buds nod their heads at her aud strew
their colors lavishly beneath her feet,
and pluck themselves eider ducklike,
as if their hearts' jietals urn not half
good enough for her tu walk ou, so
enamored tiro they of her.
"Irt'tty Coles! Letly Coles! Whore
are you lslty Coles?" cries a deep voice
through the sunshine. "Like Heatity's
father, I am in search of a rose, Letty
Coles."
Dr. Estaver smiles softly. The doc
tor It visiting Tony, ostctistbly. He
cannot resist this opportunity.
"And what should I choose but mv
own Letty Coles, eh, Letty Coles?'
And he gently sets down the flower she
Is potting nut! takes her hands, dogskin
gloves and all, Into his. "Ah, It is
you only you I want out of the whole
world, Letty Coles!"
Letty Coles blushes the color of her
own fragrant namesakes, but she does
not withdraw her bauds. Tony is only
brother to her now; her own brave
heart has overcome the sweet old love,
but It it not forgotten; It only dccoii8
and strengthens the new. One must
learn to preserve old memories as one
does the faded roses. for their fragrance;
one must see to it that they do not ruin
a useful life.
So they slum! among tho roses, the
yellow moles of sunshine dancing about
them all In a glorious drift of rose pe
tals; and in tho steady, loving dis
charge of duty Letty Coles liiids her
happiness, her love, her fate Waverly.
Alirnhain Lincoln a a Dancer.
Gen. Singleton of Quiney, III., who
was one of the bright young lawyers
of Hpringlleld when Abraham Lincoln
was a green youth there, lulls this
story, says the Wathlngton 1'ost, which
we believe has never Ticen printed be
fore. Tho bevy of bright young ladies
to whom Miss Todd Tielonged before
her marriage to Mr. Lincoln used to
have a good deal of sport at this awk
ward young man's expense. One eve
ning at a little party Mr. Lincoln ap
proached Miss Todd anil saitl in ills
peculiar idiom;
"Miss Todd, I should like to dune
with you the worst way."
Tho young lady accepted the inevit
able and hobbled around the room
with him. When Miss Todd relumed
to her scat one of her misehevious com
panion said:
"Well, Mary, did he dance with you
the worst way?"
"Yes," she answered; the very
worst."
One Touch of Nature.
One of Now York's most prominent
citizens went slumming with his wife
and sister a few evenings since. Young
Captain McLuughliu's precinct and
especially the lodging houses were
visited. "What do you think was the
most touching sight to me that night?"
he asked in Dulmonleo's last evening,
and then ho told bnw in a ward In nna
of the cheap lodging houses for women,
on cots adjoining, was a gin oi say
twenty years and on the other was an
old woman, almost weird in borsqualld
haggardness.
The irll'l was aalnnn with hnr llirnal
and bosom partly exposed. As soon as
the old woman saw the visitors in the
ward she reached over the cot of the
youngor woman and drew the wretched

throat. "That wretched old woman,

ham Lincoln, Lyman Trumbull, David
Davit, Ward Lamnn, General F.dwsrd
Baker, Ollvnr Davis and alt other old
timer. The Judge was prompted to
tell the reminiscence by reading In the
newspapers about the prominence at
tained by Representative Cannon in
the SMinkerhlp eonlest.
"1 knew Joe," the old Judge said,
"when he was a toop saddle-bags law
yer In Illinois, struggling with xivorty
and the luck iu make an honest living.
He was one of the cleverest men I ever
knew. Two qualities insured hit sno
re hi honesty ami his energy. The
old memlMiit of the bar lu the circuit
took a fancy to Joe and used (o nut
opportunities lu his way. His lirst big
stroke of luck was his election a Prose
cuting Attorney of a judicial .dlstrleU
The law in Illinois at that time was
very severe on card playing and pub
lic sentiment demanded It enforce
ment. Joe' Income depended iixu
the number of convictions be secured.
There wo where his energy did him
good service, The name of Joe Can
non iimn aloud for the severest prose
cutor the district hail known. On one
occasion we were all attending court
in a distant rouuty. David Davit was
on the iH'iioh and Joe Cannon was
prosecuting, Tho weather was cold
ami tint tavern accommodation were
not tho best. Judge Davis had tho
pick of the rooms, and Saturday even
ing we gathered as self-invited guests
about the Judge's lire. Court wo to
oHin on Monday. We had nothing to
do but to kill time. Cannon, Ward
Lamou, Dan Voorhecs, Oliver Davis,
Kd Itaker. Lyman Trumbull and a law
student named Maun were some who
were present. It wasn't long until the
table was surrounded and the cards
were being dealt. The game was In
teresting. We didn't snip until the
bell rang for breakfast Sunday morn
ing. Sunday was a day of rest, but a
goon a we bail supper we slatted iu
iigitln and played until daylight Mon
day mornliig. When the court oHUied
the J tnlge asked the Sheriff if be had
scoured a Grand Jury. The names
were called. Mann, the law student
wa among them. The Judge looked
down tho row and selected Maun as
the foreman. We were paralyzed.
Ward Lamou leaned over to Dan Vor
tices and whispered;
"Groat Ca-aar! What does the
Judge mean? Has ha fnrgoitcu that
Mann wa with us last night?"
We tried to get the Judge's eye and
to convey our protests against the se
lection oY Miiiiu. The Judge couldn't
or wouldn't see what we were driving
at. Our suggestion that another aud
an older limn be chosen for foreman
fell unheeded. Finally Joe Cannon,
seeing that the situution wa getting
desiierato went up to the lcnch and
whispered:
"Judge,' said he, 'do you remember
where we were Inst night aud w hat we
were doing?'
"Oil. ye,' said tho Judge, smiling,
we were in my room having a social
lime."
'Judge.' continued Mr. Cannon,
the young mail you ltve selected for
foreman w a there also.'
"The Judge looked sharply at Mann
and l hen asked Joe:
"1 he the voting fellow that raised
me out of iot'
"'The tfrry same fellow,' said Joe.
"Ab.'aaid the Judge, 'that changes
the situation.'
"Then turning In the Grand Jury,
he said in a louder loue aud with great
dignity:
"Mr. Mann, you can stand aside fur
till term of court.'
"The Judge proceeded to charge the
Iurv. and dwelt especially upon the In
iirlous effects of card-playing. That
night we nil met in the Judges room.
The day had liccn a dull one to all of
us except Cannon. At previous term
he had got llfty indictments against the
town iieoplu for card-playing. Most of
them had come Into court on the open
ing day, plwaded guilty and paid the
lines, which in each case included $5
for Prosecutor Cannon. We knew all
about It, and we entered into a quiet
combination to empty Joe's pockets.
One after another dropped out of the
game, until at 2 o'clock the only men
at the table were Joe Cannon and
Oliver Dnvis, a cousin of the Judge.
The rest of us sttt around ready to back
Oliver with the moral iullueuce of our
presence. Occasionally Judge Davis
would glance at Oliver's hand aud
say:
"Play him, Oliver, for nil tht game
Is worth. I've got the uioucy when
you rim out.'
After awhile Oliver turned to the
Judge aud said:
"Let me have it. Cousin David; the
crisis Is upon us.'
"The Judge pulled out $200, slapped
it on the table aud exclaimed:
"Take that Joe Cannon, If you are
able.'
'"Don't get excited, Judge,' taid
Joe, 'I will reach your pile iu a few
minutes.'
"And he did it. At 4 o'clock in the
morning he raised Oliver for the last
time. We all shook our heads. Joe
swept the table. He had cleaned out
the whole crowd. As he got up he
looked around and sitld:
"Gentlemen, the next time you put
up a combination against Joe Cannon
make it strong enough to win. I am
prepared to loud you nil enough, at
low in to rest, to pay your taveru bills.'"

Just Uke His Grandfather.
Congressman John Allen of Missis
sippi was the central llgure of a pleas
ant group of southern gentlemen at
the Hoffman house yesterday, says the
N. Y. Star. The wllty southeru rep
resentative Is always at his best when
tolling an entertaining story. In talk
ing about the amusing incidents con
nected with political campaigning In
his congressional district he related
sevoral stories in the negro dialect,
among the best of which was the fol
lowing: "I had just returned from making a
political speech," said Mr. Allen,
"when I was met at the door by old
Aunty' Allison, an aged negro woman
who nursed me in childhood. With
her big, black, good naturett face all
wreathed In smiles, she said: "Bless
ma soul, Mass'r John, but how yo'
do' remin' me o' yo' deah ole gran'
fa'r. Yo' walk like him, talk like
him, an' am jes' like hlui in politiks,
too.' ,
"Why, aunty, I never knew that my
grandfather had been active in poli
tics,' I said.
"Oh, 'deed an' 'Indeed he wah,
Mass'r John. He wah jes' llkeyo'self
in dat pa'ticlah.'
"In what way, aunty?'
"Oh, he wah all de time a holdin'
Office.'
"What office did grandfather hold,
aunty?'
"'Jet' de same as yo candidate.'"

admirers 'of Tennyson gat law
dinner parly lu hi honor, and InvlU
all their choicest friend lu the world
of literature and art to meet him.
Tennyson, who rarely WM-epts an In
vitation, did. for a wonder, put l n
amN-aranee on (his occasion, but dur
ing tho llr.t half of the dinner caused
the greatest disappointment by remain
ing alntolulcly tllent and a if iot n

Is likely that there was something

denoe, ami that the poo' 'n Ha not
unnatural irritation at being gd t
and a corresponding desire to punish

An anecdote told not long ago by hi
daughter-in-law Is amusing. In that It
shows how the greatest are not Incapa
ble of stooping to the little weaklier.-.

"Your nails always look so nice," I
overheard one damsel remark to an
other not long ago, says a eorresHind
enU" "Do you go to a manicure every
day?"
"Oh, no, 1 have never lieon to one.
for it is the easiest thing in tho world
tn take care of one's own nails just a
little care every day."
"Well, I've tried," and I can't make
mine look even decent. Tell me what
you do."
Here I listened for the prescription,
which iu sum and substance w as n fol
lows; "In order to keep the skin back fro.n
the nail 1 use a nail brush freelv using
it on the nails particitlarlv. Then, in
drying my hands, I work the towel
from the point of the mill back toward
the linger. I cut my nails often, and
don't let them get too long, By cutting
the nails in such a way that the corners
do not adhere to the skin, hatig-nails
can lie avoided and the sluie of the
unils changed. Where the nails are
thin and inclined to break, frequent
oiling is necessary, and the nails should
never be polished, except when some
oily substance is used besides the
powder. This keeps the nails more
pliable, and no mutter how thin thev
are, if priqierly treated they are no
more liable to break than thicker ones.
Another thing that is bud for the nails
Is polishing ihem too roughly. They
should bo lightly touched and not ruli
bed until they become healed. This is
ouo cause of white spots coming on tho
nuii and marring its licuutv. A little
attention every day will make tiny hand
look rice."
