A Story of Two Kisses.
v., OMFOKTABLY enscouawl
.tI;ltt au easy chair, her pretty
JfifTWbruuotto head pressed llsut-
VilpN !y against the lac cushion,
the younit Countess Kva de
ffH Valrey sat motionless before
s tho fire, gastntt dreamily
JJ luto the hlsslnir flumes. Ouo
f her llttlo hands held a dainty
gausa screen before her face, while the
ether hung listlessly at her side. Its
whltesness enhanced by her Ung black
gown, and the open letter, which had
slipped from her tinkers to the floor,
looked like a white bird with out
spread wings.
This letter, from her Aunt Yseult,
annoyed the young widow excessively,
with Its reiterated entreaties for her
to marry again. Her aged ami only
relative assured her tlutt the jwaltlou
of a widow of tweuty-two years was
an Impossible oue. but Kva de Valrey
acknowledged, clown, very far down.
In the depth of her own heart, that
she had never been so happy as now.
Free. Independent, with a beautiful
boy four yeais old she had all the
pleasures of mntrlniony, and none of
Its drawbacks!
"Husbands are a great trouble." she
thought, "that Is, Jixlgirg by the one
I had. Aunt Yseult pretends that he
was an exception, but she seems to
forget that she herself Introtnloed her
nephew to me, and assured me at the
time that ho possessed every good
quality under the sun. I cannot
place much reliance on her now wheu
she declares that she has suitors for
me who are absolute perfection.
Thanks, dear aunt; one experience is
quite enough for me."
She got up languidly and look a
few steps through the room. The air
was fragrant with the scent of Partus
lolets, of which great bunches tilled
every nook, their soft tints blending
harmoniously with the mauve silk
which covered the walls, and making
- the whole room seem like an enor
mous violet-sachet
"Shall I go and visit her at the
Chateau Grillon, as she entreats?"
she said thoughtfully. "Why should
I not? I suppose I need not be afraid
of her marrying nie off against my
will! Besides, it will be a good op
portunity to tell her, once for all, that
I Intend to reniaiu a widow forever!''
She sat down at a diminutive ebony
secretary, and the light, falling from
under the mauve silk shade of the
tall lamp near ber, cast a soft aureola
round her lovely face, with Its large
brown eyes. Its delicately chiselled
nose, and Its pouting lips, and ren
dered still more dazzling the pearly
tint of her skin.
Taking out a sheet of note-paper,
she wroto a few lines thanking her
dear aunt for the Invitation which she
had so much pleasure in accepting.
Then she lapsed Into revery again.
Eva had married the Count de Val
rey. not for love, but In order to
atone for what she considered a grave
affense. He had led a gay life, and
having arrived at an age when his
Joints were stiff, and his gnllnnt
speeches called forth only smiles of
contempt from their fair hearers, lie
realized that it was time for him to
settle down. Accordingly, he applied
for assistance to his Aunt Yseult, and
two days later he was presented to
Eva, a yonng orphan who had recent
ly returned home from her convent
school and was still studying under
a tutor. The connt had no sooner
laid eyes on the lovely girl than he
mounted the hobby of love and set
out for the conquest of beauty, lite
attentions of the old bachelor did not
trouble their recipient In the least.
Indeed, she found him rather amus
ing, and although bis gallant speeches
sometimes brought a momentary flush
to her satin cheek, that was their only
effect, and If anyone had said to her,
"Behold your husband," she would
have exclaimed with a ripple of
laughter, "I do not care for old rel
ics." One evening, when torrents of
rain were falling. Aunt Yseult and
the tutor were seated in a corner of
the drawing-room playing bezlque,
and at the other end of the room Eva
was at the piano, with the Count de
Valrey beside her turning the leaves
of the music. The alluring strains of
Brahm's waltzes, and the little white
hands flying over the keys, affected
the elderly lover to such a degree that
he exclaimed In a hushed whisper, as
he bent over ber:
"Since I. have known you, I have
appreciated beauty, grace, loveli
ness "
"And did not do so before?" she
asked merrily.
"1 did not believe In them," he an
swered. "I thought that love was a
delusive thing Invented by poets."
She laughed mockingly as she said:
"But you know better now, I sup
pose, Count?"
"Yes, I know too well," he whis
pered passionately. "I feel the real
ity of the pangs, for I love you;" and,
carried away by the earnestness of
his declaration, he stooped over and
stole a kiss.
A loud, harsh discord on the piano,
which made the card-players look
around in wonder, was the only re
sponse to this act of temerity, and
Eva, offended and Indignant, closed
the piano without a word and left
the room.
That kiss was a cataclysm, for, ac
cording to tho girl's conventual Ideas,
to be kissed by a man constituted a
crime for which marriage alone could
atone. The next day, therefore, In
spite of her heart's protestations, in
spite of her lover's age and unattract
lveness, she announced her willing
ness to marry tho Count de Valrey,
without giving any reason for her
sudden determination, being ashamed
to confess to the stolen kiss.
For three years she took the ton
dorest care of her aged husband, who
soon became crabbed and Infirm, and
wheu be rendered up his soul to .
heaven, the poor llttlu widow wepl,

"Well, how do yott llko Raoul de
Mehhedo?" asked Aunt Yseult as,
scatet under tho thick slimlo of a
linden-tree In her park, she wound
ott the silk fioui the akein Which Kva
was holding for her,
"He's not bad." was the reply.
"Not bad!" repeated, tho old lady
Indignantly, brandishing th bull of
silk In the air, "the scion f one of
our widest families. Not bud! I should
think not!"
"I like his friend, Monsieur tfavanne,
better."
"We are not talking about him, my
dear."
"He Is an artist of great talent." .
"A miserable dnuberl I Invited blm
merely as a companUm for the umr
quK" The llttlo countess broke out In a
peal of laughter and exclaimed:
"Suppose the poor fellow heard you,
aunt!"
The old lady shrugged her shoul
ders to express Indifference, and Kva
continued teaslngly:
"You said yourself that ho had a
more distinguished hearing tlmu the
Mnrquts de Melchede -"
"Hush, chlld-don't be Irreverent."
Interrupted her heiuvr sharply. "t
fco? you don't mean fl allow your
self to bo cajoled by a painter when
a marquis Is courting yon,"
"You need uot be alarmed, aunt.
I ahnll not take either one or the oth
er. I shall never nmrev again."
Why not, 1 hoi t likn to know?
cried the aunt furiously, and Kva
answered In a quiet tone:
"I wish to devote myself entirely
to the edncatlou of tuy sou; that la
enough for mo to do, and I cannot
undertake the care of a husband
agrtlu."
"You are absurd, my Vnr.M
'Whv sc? You yourself have never
married, and yet. Aunt, you get on
very well."
"That Is a different thing. I have
always been so much occupied with
other people's marriages that I have
had no time to think of my owu loull
nes." "Well, try to forget mine, I beg of
you."
'The marquis adores you; ho will
persuade you."
"He?" 1 think not."
"We shall see we shall seer
The old tody, exasperated by this
opposition, made a gesture of despair,
and thon went Into the house, while
Eva ran in search of her UUle boy,
who bad taken advantage of the earn
estness of the conversation to slip
away tiniiercelved.
The young Countess de Valrey re
mained In tha Chateau Grillon for
two months, and during that time she
was beaieged by the solicitations Of
her aunt, and the adoration, more or
lews open, of the Marquis de Melchede,
and Jacques Davanne, the artist The
former, though far from prepossess
Irg, with his angular frame and fair,
Insipid face, had the advantage of
family and title, besides being an ac
complished man of tha world, while
Davanne, who claimed no coat-of-arms,
made up for the deficiency by
Ms frank and manly bearing and his
artist lo talent, which was universally
acknowledged.
Eva de Valrey reflected upon the
respective merits of her two cavaliers,
and found that she was Incapable of
making choice between them.
The sultry day was drawing to a
clone, and a cool breese sprlnglna' up
blew aoftly through the leafy arches
of the great park of Urllton.
The setting sun seemed to linger In
Its descent, bathing the whole hortton
In Us gold and purple hues, and send
ing its rays obliquely through the
foliage to the green tnoes below,, where
they made little spots of brightness
among the shadows. All nature
seemed to be falling into a calm, may
Jewtlo slumber.
Jacques Davanne walked slowly,
thoughtfully through the woods, deaf
to the harsh erica of the Juys which
flew away at his approach, uncon
scious of everything except l is sorrow.
He could think of nothing but his love
for the young countess, and he longed
for courage to throw himself at her
feet, to ask her to be his wifehe, the
poor artlstl While he stood pondering
at a place where several pathways
met, he heard the sound of approach
leg footsteps, and, not wishing to be
discovered In his sad revery, he shrank
back into the thrubbery. The next
minute two persons appeared, and ai
he caught sight of them, Duvannj
turned pale with agitation. He saw
Eva de Valrey leaning on the arm of
the marquis! Their conversation was
very earnest, and the young widow's
clear tones reached his ear as she ex
claimed: "You say you love me entirely. Why
then should I not return you love "
The breeze carried away the rest of
the sentence as the couple passed on,
and Jacques Davanne rushed off In
tho opposite direction. He was broken-hearted,
desperate, for he saw
that his love was Indeed hopeless; his
rival wras preferred before him, and
there was nothing for him to do but to
go away, to stifle his love and his
deepalr. Night fell, unfolding her
dark mantle spangled with silvery
stars, and still the mourner wandered
on under the spreading trees. In the
Chateau Grillon all were sleeping,
and the only sound In the forest was
the plaintive voice of the screech-owl,
which from a tall oak tree made an
swer to the sighs of tho wanderer.
IIL
In the little Oriental parlor of the
Chateau, sunbeams were coming
through the chinks of the closed
blinds, and falling In long, slender
lines of brightneus upon the matting
which covered the floor.
Eva de Valrey was gazing absently
at her little son, who, sitting on a
stool at her feet, was playing noisily
with a wooden horse. Ieaning back
on the sofa, she reflected with a smile
upon the success of the trick she had
played on the marquis the evening
before, and on her aunt's look of hor
lor when told of the deception.
Suddenly Jacques I).ivanrie in
travelling attire entered the room. At
sight of the young countess he drew
back hastily, and would have retired
but that she spoke to blm.
"Well, Monsieur Davanne, are you
very anxious to escape from me?" she
asked gently.
"Ah, no, rnadame, on the contrary;
but but," he stammered, "I am about
to leave Grillon."
"You also?" she said with some
bitterness. "Then the marquis has
told you?"
"lie has told me nothing, but I
know too well, and I cannot stay
here and witness his triumph, his hap
piness. Ah, do not think I hate or
envy him the simple truth Is, I have
been dreaming suoh dreams of bliss
that my henrt, in falling suddenly
from the height of its mad hopes, has
received a fatal wound."
"What do you mean?" said Kva
sadly, motioning him to sit beside
her on the sofa, "What has happened
to grieve you so? Tell me your
trouble." ,
He too the proffered seat, and an
swered slowly:
"Do not mock me with your sym
pathy. That will only make my mis
ery more keen. Last night In the
park, I heard a fragment of your con
versation with Itaoul de Melchede."
"What then?" she asked, and he ex
claimed excitedly:
"What then? Do you want to hear
me say that I love you madly? You
know that, and so you also know how
I suffer at this moment. I had hoped
to accomplish the Impossible I, the
poor artist, had dared to think that
the rich countess might be my wife,
Fool that I was, nothing less than
hearing my doom from, your owu Hps
would convince me of my folly) Ah,
fool, fooir
His emotion waa so great that Eva
trembled as she heard him, and, striv
ing In vain to speak calmly, she asked
"What did you hear last night?"
"I heard you say to Mm, 'Why then
should I not return your love,'" re
plied the artist, and Eva smiUd as
she exclaimed:
' But let nu tell you, Mr. Eaves
dropper, what the rest of tha sentence
was. I said: "llut first I must tell
you frankly that I have lately lost
toy all through unfortunate In vest
ments, so that I and my child will be
entirely dependent on my htislsuul!"
Her tone was so earnest and a lustre
that - Davanne was completely de
ceived, aa the other suitor had been,
and he anawitvd with a sigh:
"Suoh a ootiNideratton could havt no
weight wlbh Itaoul, where there was
a question of winning you, madame."
"Your friend the marquis," added
Eva In a tons of contempt, "asked
me to asy the words ones more, so
great was his dismay; then with a
deep bow he told ma that, althoguh
he adored me, he knew his family
would not approve of his marrying a
woman with no dower, and with deep
regret he took his departure."
"It Is ImpvMsthie," said Davanne, In
amusement; he never will relinquish
you"
"He has done It so completely that
he Is now on the way to i'arla, and
Urtllon will see htm no more," she
said.
j A ray of hop pierced through the
! durknoM of her listener's deepalr, and
he e;t Id slowly:
"If yo-x could but have confidence In
me, In my talent! 1 promise you I
would moke you rich, and happy, and
your child would be as my own."
At that moment the little boy looked
up at tha distressed face of the speak
er, and, climbing up on the sofa, he
aaid, consolingly:
"What Is the matter? Are you go
ing to cry? Look, mamma, he Is so
sjult Let him kiss you as I do, and
then he will not cry!"
Before his astonished hearers could
stop him, he put a little arm around
the neck of each and drew their heads
together until their fac met, and
Jaoques Davanne, unable to resist
the child's mandate, touched his Ilpa
to the soft cheek of the young mother,
Kva d Valrey made no demur when
for the aecond time In her life she
was conquered by a kiss, for her whole
heart, a.isworing to tho sweetness of
the careas, told her that now Indeed
ahe loved!

They Will Be Truly ArtUtlc. With Al

To most men tho beauty of a I'ttlted
States note depends less on th artistic
value of the picture engraved iixn It

stumcd upon it face. Hut persons
of artistic NcuHlbllltls have long de

from an aesthetic, etaiulpolut. Among
thi wo who share In this di-slre Is
Chief Claude M. Johnson, of tin bu
reau of engraving and printing. After
many mom Us of effort he louverted
tlni stvrotury of the treasury to his
views.
Mr. Johnson believes that the Culled

a new style of notes. All of our notes
nrw very plain. Their design i consist
for the inoKt part of portrait of pres
idents, generals, statesmen nml prom
inent ottlclals, In combination with
more or less elaborate scroll work.
Then Is nothing characterlwilc alsmt
jthein except plainness and paucity of
dedlgn.
Chief Johnson has already secured
designs for the new one. live and ten
dollar certificates, and the plates are
being engraved. The present $1 sliver
cerllHcntrt has on Its face the portrait
of Martha Washington. "One Silver
Dollar" on a scroll In lathe work on

History Is represented by a beautiful

tially by the American ting. She
points to (he Washington monument
In the distance, scrims the Potumnc
river, and to the cotol, still further
away. A youth, encircled by her oth

tion stani)ed upon his features. On
the opposite end of the ledge stands a
primal iKiok, on which, wiili a strong
gin, one enn read tho first para

C nl tod States. The whole Is framed
in a series of small Mrtraits of tin1
great men of the nation, among whom
am authors and Inventors, aw well its
those who tmvo attained famo In the
public service.
Fully as great a change will lie made
In tho design of the f5 silver certi
ficate. It now has a portrait of Grunt,
with lnthe work and scrolls on which
Is printed the detioiutnntlou. The new
design Is by Waller Shlrlnw. and Is
considered the strongest of nil so fur
approved. It Is allegories! and repre
sents tho power, genius and strength
of the country. Liberty Is represented
by a beautiful woman In graceful
rob(s standing tiMin the globe, with
her feet resting upon North America,
fn her band she holds an Incandescent
electric light, from which a ribbon
runs to Ughfulng-torn clouds at the

This represents Peace and Law. At

Thomas F. Morris, of Die engraving

Tho weak mini's thumb Is weak and

What excuse Ims n man for fulling

Pretty fntvs are all vrry well, but If

Statistics of How Men and Women
Act nt nn Interesting Moment.
There Is a clever statistician who
could teach a thing or two to the nov
elist. This statistician has atteiuptel
to clasHlfy the action and method of
lroxsnls, and, ns a result, bus pre
tented tabulated figures extremely lu
tei'tstlng to psychologists, says the
Philadelphia Times. Out of one hun
dred ciinu thirty-six gentlemen take the
lady in their arms, sixty-seven gentle
men kiss lady on lip, four gentlemen
kiss lady on cheek, three gentlemen
show very ps.d taste by klw.il ng lady on
eyes, and two gentlemen kiss lady on
hand. It Is to be presumed them) two
out of a hundred are the timid, tlllll
deiit kind, though It Is possible that
they might bo of the quietly sentimen
tal nature. Ono gentleman klsm t lady
on nose. It must bo added that tlm
statistician Is careful to Insert the
laving clause (by mistake). There Is
even a record of a man ktsmng a lady
on edge of shawl, but, thank giMidn,
there Is) only one lit a hundred and im
chances nre that (tils man Is peculiar.
Seventy-two hold lady's hand, seven
teen hold It very tightly, fourteen
have lumps In their throats and nine
exclaim aloud: "Thank God!" Only
seven out of B hundred declare them
selves to be deliriously happy nnd
live nre too full for utterance. Threa
out of n hundred stand on one foot
when tltey make proisisal and two go
down on one knee, while nine make
i formal (jrriude-something like I he
ilow tousle lu jh iiluy, we suppose,
tvheii tho villain appeals lo Itenyeii to
witness the consuming flame of IiIn
affections for the Iron ho plots to

The behavior of the lady under the
cli'cuinstiuiees Is equally entertaining
and Instructive, Out of a hundred
cases eighty -one sink Into Hie arms of

BIRTHPLACE OP THE BBOWNIES.
Commonplace Surroundings Amid
Which They Cnmo Into living.
New York Kim: Prohnbly very few
people who have met the brownies la
ono quarter of tho world or itnotlicr
know that them- Interesting people
llrst saw the light through the north
window of a room In un ottlco building
lu lower Broadway. They eoiuo Into
the world with the roar of the street
nnd the prosaic bell of the jcnlde enr,
the first sounds likely to full iihh
thnlr curs. There Is nothing nearer
the supernatural about tho surround
ings lu which they am Intro. The
other floors of the buildings nre occu
pied by wholesale dealers In such ar
ticles as coats, hats, and shoes, which
even tho mysterious brownies have
adopted.
Palmer Cox's studio Is not, a room
that look, ns If It lind served for so
long ns the birthplace of these unique
little llgiires. It looks very much like
the sitting-room of a country farm
house after the successful visit of nn
enterprising peddler. Tho light that
falls through the four large windows
Hoods the nsmi. There Is a stove to
heat It, ami behind a screen In one
cor.ier an Industrious typewriter Is nt
work, Nothing suggests that tho
qiitilnt figures hung nliout the room
hi tho forin pf dulls, In pictures,
woven Into rugs, nnd grinning on
pieces of stumped calico originated
here. But the small slant-topped
desks, covered with n piece of Minting
paper, entirely' plain, nml facing n
window through which the light stirs,
win the cratllu of most of the brownie
brood, Spino pf h llrst, for the old
est brownies are not of native birth,
cattie Into this world by way of Can
ada. Bint the dude, the Irishman, the
policeman, llko the great majority of
tho rank nml file of the brownie bund,
were born down In thnt, ollloo building
on Broadway,
Tho oldest brownie In the lot Is now
14 years old. It was In lssi thnt Mr.
Cox drew him. Cnlll thnt tlmo lie hud
written stories for children nml made
their characters nnlumls that talked
llko htimnn beings, Hut children
found nn element of unreality In this
thnt made their sytnpnthy with them
Incomplete. Thoy nnd Mr. Cox too
wanted diameters who could imvo all
tho humor of the brownies, enjoy
themselves Just ns much, outl draw
for thalt rcaduri such -'r.iuJ and u,i.
obstntslve morals ns nro nhvnvs the
sum of brownie cxperutt. Mo' when
Mr, (log thought of the old Hootch
tradition of tho brownie tribe, which
hq tad often henrd of from his Hcotch
neighbors In Canada, they seemed to
1)8 Just the sort of people ho wanted
In his books to take the place of the
tnlklng animals. Tho publishers were
not Inclined to llBteu to his proiKwnls
about writing a fairy story. They
wanted the nnlmnls kept up, nnd
fairies, they an Id, hnd already been
written about by so nmnv fn moos
authors. But one of the brownie
stories wns published In 1SS1. nnl
since that time their creator has nev
er written about anything else or
drawn anything other than tho little.
flgurea wlilcli bays made Ids fame,
ami are no doing all they can la the
characteristic, fuy, energetic brownie
manner t ,nl lonuno.
Mr. Cox takes his brownies very
snrloiiKly. Be talks about them with
tlm solicitude of a parent. Ho tske
more Interest lu lle-lr ndventun's thstt
a child would, ami a he sits in hi
stiullo one would Judge from Ids lone
that h exiHH'iH brownies on the
walls to drop Into his lap and talk
there bar been a hundred stories since
ho wrote th" "rst brownie sbry, and
thorn have I""'11 bunder stories since
that time. Hut Mr. Cox snye that hi
hli-n travel faster than his bands,
nud Hint hi Angers are tlri when
thero Is plenty Inspiration left. The
llrst successful brownlo story Mr.
(lot says It seemed nn luipossiiblllty
ever to retettt. The third ! ws
qiilto certain could never lie scmiiii
pllshed. But It u raster matter
than Its pteilfcewor. nnd the Idea
havn Mime ine easily to Mr. Cx'
pen for every succeeding story.
Tlm familiar physical trait of the
brownie "Sere dlseovurod nM-ldi-ntnlly.
There was nn nlphaln-t to lie designed,
nud Mr, Cox drew some figures en
which tlm letitel could be plitiisl. lis
decided to dra them on the stom
achs and chests of the llttlo men who
were sui'strtlii them. This requires
them 1o have huge bodies, ami In or
der not lo delrniS from the prominence
of the letier U wns iieeesnty thnt llielr
logs should b snail ami their bond
ii tiuseunletlol B ponsllile. Of
emirs nnylssty tan see that a llgure
of such prosrtlti must luivs lou
a brownie, whether Intended to 1st
ono or not. Hut Us blett of lut little
figures came to Mr. Cox In this way:
Tho stories tleserlKlvo of the brownie'
adventure nre nlsny written in-fore
any of Iho pictures nre drawu. Thu.
wlieit the hrowiilcl went traveling end
ren.-lie.i Hwlii, Mr. Cox remembered
bull fight nnd lm straightway a pie
lure In bl mind' eye of the brownies
Mug elinml fri lite arena by a
bull. Ko he wrote the story about It
and drew the. picture afterward.
None of I he brownies hn ever passed
out of iho owinf's eonlnd. Wlo-u
their picture wore primed flrwt In ihe
iiuigaslnes It was with the condition
that tlu-y remain 8 phqe-riy of the
artist, to be returned to him wheu
the brownies got Into a book. In
whatever mngnsliie they were printed
they were Used oiilf teiiiMirnrlly, nml
they remained the property of their
creator. At llrst there were no smh
