JOHN'S WIFE.
BY ANNIE T. FORCE LLE.
Miss Barbara Srjydcr sat in her
Btraiglil-backe J chair before tbe fire,
her loot on the fender, ber head droop
ing, ber yes closed to tell the truth,
although she would have indignantly
denied it, Miss Barbara Snydur was
asleep. Her maid, a hard-featured
and middle-aged woman, was moving
about the room, putting it in order, as
she did fifty times a day, at her mis
tress' command, and watching her fur
tively to set that fcho didn't fall into
the tire.
"Jane," 6aid Miss Barbara, sudden
ly waking and Bitting bolt upright
with uubliuking eyes, "if he comes
and I an sure ho will don't let him
in."
, toNo, ma'am," answered Jane, sub
missively. "Tell him he has seen me for. the
last time the hypocrite ! to pretend
always to be so loud of me, and then
go and tnarry some little empty-headed
doll baby. Be sure and send him
away, Jane." .
"Vea, ma'am." ,
A sudden commotion in the lower
haU interrupted them ; a few bars of a
popular air, whittled in a. masterly
manner, a rapid clatter, of boot heels
on the stairs, and then a youug gen
tleman, who might have sat as a model
of Hercules rushed in, and falling
over an ottoman, upsetting a chair
and making "confusion worse con
founded" in the quiet room, dashed
at Miss Barbara and took her by
storm.
Congratulate meT he cried, after
imprinting a half-dozen kisses on her
withered cheek. -Aunt Barby she is
the dearest "
"You may go Jane."
. Miss Barbara lad recovered from
the bhock a little, and as Jane retired
she folded her mittened bauds tightly
together and turned upon him:
-Nephew John ?"
There was a comical expression of
despair on the young fellow's face at
this unpropitioua beginning, but he
said nothing.
"Nephew John, I am disappointed
in you 1 -1 am not angry, but am
deeply grieved " .
"Why, Aunt BarbyT
Tbe blue eyes of her listener open
ed wide, but she silenced him by a
stately gesture.
"Please be quiel I wish to peak.
I have done my duty by you, John,"
(there was a little tremble in her voice
as she said this, but she went on grim
ly) "and now that you were just com
to manhood, (John was twenty-six)
and I had begun to trust in you a lit
tle, yon desert me for a a doll-baby."
"She is not a doll baby!" said the
young husband indignantly. "If you
only knew her you would love her
dearly."
'.Nonsense ! AH the girls are fools
now a days but no matter you have
chosen between us. My will is made,
and I shall not change it, but you will
never again be to me as you were be
fore" There was a real distress in John
Barton's heart as he rose and Btood
before her.
"If you will only let me bring her
to see you," he pleaded. "I am sorry
yon are displeased. : Aunt Barby don t
let this part us.'
"You have chosen."
The Sphinx could not have looked
more unmoved.
"I ordered them not to admit you
you need not come again."
"If you will only bear me
' But I won't good afternoon."
And so John Barton left her with
her face turned away from him and
her hands still clasped before her.
Mi6s Barbara was wealthy, proud,
and fond of her own way, but she
was still a woman, and in her heart of
hearts 6 be loved John Barton dearly.
His mother, her only sister, had died
when he was a little child, and bis
father dying soon after. Miss Barbara
bad in a iasmon adopted him. She
had indulged him from the first day
of his entrance into her house ; 6he
had watched over him and made him
her one object in life. He had been
the one gleam of sunshine ia her lone
ly life, and to his honor be it said, be
had never been unworthy of the love
and confidence which she gave to him.
"Aunt Barby" was to bim the only
person in the world, and although
people marvelled at the affection of
the bright-faced young fellow for . his
grim old aunt, it . was genuine and
true He had gone through college
in a thoroughly satisfactorily manaer,
and afterwards had settled down into
as steady and trustworthy a young
business man as there was in the city,
and for three years had behaved en
tirely according to his aunt s wi6h in
every respect.
One day, however, the peace and
tranquility of Miss Barbara's house
hold was broken : np by. 41 whisper
which came to her ears J ohn, . her
John, was ''payin a attention" to some
body! She was at first incredulous,
bat as the days went by she was forc
ed to believe it: for one night, John,
sitting at her feet with his yellow hair
shining in tbe nreliglu, told ber, with
much confusion, and embarrassment,
that he was going to be married..; .; :
Miss Barbara, was a erood woman
bnt she was very whimsical, a little
selfish, and, above all, very jealous 01
her own dignity, and -; the knowledge
that. John had asserted his .independ
ence and actually planned out: his fu
ture life without consulting her be
forehand, was a very hard thing for
her to bear. , She was not patient nor
forgiving, and the result of .John's
confidence . was , a very . unpleasant
scene; Bhe who had never spoken to
him harshly before, overwhelmed him
with bard, , bitter, words, , and then,
when he was gone, wept herself asleep
over his "ingratitude" as 6he called it.
! When at last he wTas really married,
her anger knew no bounds, and his
first visit to ber after that event ended
as we have seen. 'i: ; ;v
The' days passed away slowly after
. John with bis bright face aad ringing
voice, was banished, and Miss Bar-
oara, liaii-rcgrciuns iiwr uarannoss,
was often tempted to send for him
again, but her obstiuacy or "pride," as
she called it, preveuted her, and so
she fretted and worried until Jane
was almost driven distracted by her
irritability and unreasoiiableuess.
She was so cross, so hard to suit, and
so "awfully savage," as John would
have said, that Jane became at lust
entirely worn out, and one day when
her duties had beeu more than, usually
hard, she surprised her mistress by
packing up her movable property and
departing from the house. Then
Miss Barbara was wretched ; for three
days bhe sat in a solitary state, and
then, sundiug for her lawyer, directed
him to insert an advertisement in tho
leading papers to the effect that sho
wanted a "young, neat and ladyliko
person for a companion."
"No more old womeu for me," she
said savagely, in response to the law
yer's look of surprise, "after the be
havior of Jane, who has been with
me for thirty years ; and then author
izing him to examine applicauts, she
sent him away.
Two days after the lawyer return
ed, accompanied by a .tall, slender
young woman, who had come to see
if Miss Barbara would engage her.
After looking at her keenly for Borne
tiino and inquiring sharply into her
antecedents, reference's and the like,
Miss Barbara pronounced herself sat
isfied, and Alice Worthiugton, as
the lawyer called her, was duly in
stalled in the office of " companion,"
and a charming companion she proved
to bo.
Miss Barbara was at first disposed
to be a bit critical and captious, but
the young girl was so anxious to
Idea.se, so sweet-tempered and amia
le, so quiet and self-forgetful, that
Miss Barbara's severity melted away
by degrees, an J at last she began to
love her gentle atteudant, and to try
in various little wsys to make her
cheerful and contented in her new
home. 11
"Alice," she said one day, as the
girl sat opposite her at the lire, "how
old are you F1
"Not quite nineteen,' waa the shy
auswer.
And Miss Barbara looked at her in I
surprise, "ot quite nineteen, and
yet so quiet, dignified and womanly ;
it was almost incredible. Miss Bar
bara looked at her again, and with a
new approbation in her face. Sho
saw how pure and sweet the fair face
looked, with the shy brown eyes half
hidden by the white lids; she saw
how plainly and smoothly the brown
hair was fastened back, how neat and
trim was the dark dress, how snowy
were the cuffs ami the narrow collar,
and her heart w-as filled with wonder.
A girl in this nineteenth century with
out a ruffle, a puff, a crimp, an over
skirt, a sash, or a suspicion of a pan
ier about her! Truly wonders would
never cease; and, as she gazed on
this raru avi, her heart was filled
with pity for John, who had thrown
himself away.
"She's just the wife for bim," she
thought, "if he had only waited a lit
tle he would have liked her, I am
sure." And then she dismissed .the
thought with a sigh, and turned to
Alice for consolation.
As the days went by Miss Bar
bara's heart began to yearn for her
nephew. She loved Alice dearly, but
even she did not take the place of tbe
absent one. His - handsome face
haunted her day and night, and often
as she heard a sudden noise in the
ball or at the door,' she would look up
eagerly, half expecting to see him as
she used to do.
"I am getting old," Bhe said, Badly,
to herself. "Perhaps I was a little
hard with him 'my boy I'll ask
Alice."
And so one night she called Alice
to her, and as she sat at ber feet in
the firelight, as John had done so of
ten, she told her all about how much
6he loved him, and how she longed to
see him again.
"I am getting old, Alice," she said.
"I may die soon, and I want to see
my boy. Perhaps I was wrong about
his wife. ' It would do no harm to see
them just once, Alice." .
And Alice answered gently that
perhaps it would be better for them
all to do so; but she avoided, her
kind friend's eyes, and there was a
scarlet flush on her face that was un
usual. ' The next day Alice, under Miss
Barbara's direction, wrote a little note
to John Barton. "Tell him to come
soon," said she ; and as Alice wrote
this, Miss Barbara Bat and thfght in
tently for some time, with Vr face
resting on her hands. , "Tell him," she
said again, "he may bring bis wife if
he likes I can at least see her to
please him." , .
: And so the note was written and
the messenger dispatched.
. 'After this decisive step was taken
Miss Barbara was in a flutter of ner
vousness all the time. She donned
her richest dress, her most costly cap,
ana men sat expectant until 6be beard
John's step on the stairs, and John
himself came in as of old. ' Of course
there, were a few -minutes during
which both talked at once, and then,
when the first excitement was over.
Miss Barbara suddenly grew grave.

her old grim way, and John rose and

turning to Alice, "I am engaged now,

"Alice Worthiugton Barton, Aunt
Barby. Love her a little for my sake,
please."
Five years have passed. There are
children's voices iu the great house
now, and Jane (who was in tho plot,
and is back in her old place) and Miss
Barbara almost pet them to death,
while John, tho rogue, often teases
his aunt laughingly about tho "doll
baby" to whom sho considered him
sacrificed. But if there is any one
person whom Miss Barbara loves as
dearly as sho does "her boy," it is the
sweet-faced gentlo girl whom that
boy married. To her mind all femi

and shown forth by "John's wife."

THE MYSTIC PABX BACKS,
The sensation of the day wat tl?e

handsome bays, "Lucy" a little tbe
darker of the two, and marked on
the forehead with a white blaze.
Mr. Ilickok drove "Lucy" while old
Mr. Dooble took care of tho "Maid."
As every race in which the two trot
are preat ranged and are merely ex
hibitions, there wan no pool selling
on the wiuner. There was some
betting on the time, even money be
ing offered against 2:19. "Lucy"
took tbe polo. At the first score the
"Maid" skipped under the wire, and
they were culled back. The second
time tbe word was given with the
"Maid"' ha'f a length ahead. "Lu
cy" passed her once, but lost ground,
and the "Maid" passed the quarter
in 36, the half in 1:10, and came in
trotting handsomely in 2:21, "Lucy"
half a length behind.
PBEPAIIUNO roU THE CUE AT 11EAT.
Before the second beat Mr Wright
was seen superintending the cleaning
of the track with scrapers and drags.
The knowing ones began to exchange
significant looks and to expect some
thing startling on tha blackboard.
This impression was heightened when,
after scoring once, Doble asked the
juugea to give nsintho wora wuatever

Hi-ckok assented, and it became per

At the Lalf, 1:07, the "Maid" wai

trotting magnificently, having mode
only one or two little skips in tbe
mile. When the time, 2:1C was an
nounced, incredulity gave way to be

personal pride in the achievement
and a sort of part ownership in the

Loalvvtlle Apple Cilrl Tarns
' out to be a Connleti.
Who among the old habitues of
Court Palace does not remember tho
little girl who, with her well-filled
basket, looked into the offices day by
day, disposing of the choicest fruit to
be met with anywhere in the market ?
We have not forgotten, and never can!
In our mind's eye we see her beauti
ful face peeping in at the door; see
tbe flash of those dark, lustrous eyes
beaming in modest eloquence upon
us; hear the sweet girlish voice artic
ulate once more, , "Any fruit to-day,
sir? Fiue, nice apples; please buy
some.'
That apple girl has a history ; who
has not? ' You may ask where is the
outcast child or beggar around whom
does not cluster some romance?
Well, Justine, Cardoni, who sold
apples around the streets of Louisville
eighteen years ago, has a history.
Briefly we will.write it down :
In Milan, twenty-five years ago,
there lived a poet and scholar whom
we will call liinaldo (but that is not
his name.) He was a descendent of
one of the oldest families in Italy,
dating back to the dark , ages, whose
representatives, both as warriors and
statesmen, were second to none in
Europe, liinaldo was very wealthy
and honorably connected, bearing the
title of l'racrue, and graduated with
distinguished honors as a professor of
law. lie never practiced though, but
spent his time in travel and ' writing
essays on science' and philosophy.
At the age of twenty-five years he be
came acquainted with Madeline Jose
phine Giaccomo, of Naples, the
daughter, of a half brother to the
Kiner bv a morcanatio marriacre. This
marriage of Madeline with a private
gentleman gave- great umbrage at
court,-though children by morganatic
marriages are not recognized as scions
of royalty, but take only such honors
as belons to the private gentry.
" The fruit of thi marriage oy. the
beautiful Madeline and Hinaldo was a
daughter born about a year and a half
from tho time of their marriage.
This child was healthy, robust and
beautiful, and attracted much atten
tion. One day the nurse had permis
sion to take it out in its little wagon
lor an airing. Passing by a narrow
court, a man in his pautaloons and
blouse, barefooted and bearheaded,
rushed out and seized the little one
aud before the nilrso could scream, or
ivti any alarm, was out of sight.
' . This was a terrible blow to Uinaldo
and Madeline. &he, poor, thing, was
thrown into convulsions at tho loss of
her child, and died in a few weeks.
Kinaldb, being of an impulsive tern
peramcut, give way to his passion
and ditid from excesses brought on by
his misfortunes. .
Justine Cardoni came to Louisville
with an Italian lamily as one of its
members, and was employed in sell
ing fruit about the streets, as stated
iu tho commencement of this article.
She .was. extremely beautiful, but
modest and retiring in her manners.
lbe writer lias often wondered why
it was that a person like her could
confine herself to the druduwry lnci
dent to the occupation she followed
so industriously. She was evidently
oi a superior class to all those with
who she associated aud among whom
her lot was east.
A lew years ago ho married a gen
tleman from a neishborinir city, who
became attached to her by meeting
her on the streets selling apples, lio
was a lawyer a ripe scholar and a
perfect gentleman. To prevent in
vidious remarks and insinuations he
removed from Louisville to the place
wnere lie now resides with his elegant
wife and lovely children, for he is pos
sessed of a suthcifitcy of this worlds
goods lo keep the wolf from the
door through a long life to come.
About one year ag.i our Italian
died (I won't say where, because it is
an necessary), and on bis death-bed re
vealed to the priest tho state of facts
shadowed forth in tho beginning of
tins article. Iho rcvercned father,
knowing tbe importance of the com
munication, and tbe then high social
dip V . . .. V HX. ...... .,,, I, H
fected tli ere by, procured the services
of an experienced attorney; had the
statement drawn up in legal form and
properly attested. In addition to his
statement a locket was produced by
the uyuig man that he said was at
tached to a small gold chain on the
girl's neck when abducted by him.
In this locket were tbe miniatures of
a gentleman and lady, said to be the
father and mother of the girl.
The revelation of the dying man
proved that the once beautiful apple
girl of Louisville wa.1 the daughter of
.Madeline Josephine Giaccomo and
her husband, the poet, scholar, aud
scientist of Milan, and was the right
ful heir to immense estates in that
country.
Tho'dying man further stated that
he was paid for abducting the girl by
relatives, 'who, in case of failure of
heir in that line, would inherit tho
estates thcu in possession of Uinaldo.

A good story,
overland train
came in with the
on Monday night.
Among the passengers was a young
man possessed of a judicious spirit
oi economy and a pardonable share
of varjity, . The judicious economy
was muue manifest to the other oc
cupants of tbe car by the fact that
the young man wore plain clothing
and a Mingle Chevoit shirt all tbe way
from Chicago; and for the pardonable

at Niles' Station. . I-

Floated through his brain, and seat
ing himself in a secluded corner of
the car, he poured forth bin spirit's
gladness in a gush of melody, some
what as thus; ' ;" i
, "Home again, home again,
From loh-huti-rclKu shore;
Ao'U Ob! it tils my so o-ool with Joy
To no-he-eat my friends once more."
Suddenly he hushed his notes of joy
and reached for his carpet bag.
An appalling idea Hushed across

done him such good service which
hod clung to him during the toilsome
journey across two thousand miles
of mountain, plain and desert was
not exactly tbe thing to appear in
when one wished to intensify an al
ready good impression. It certainly
wouldn't be tbe clean thing, be said
to himself it wouldn't be justice to
the shirt. So be resolved to change
it. JJot, bow? Ibe car contained
several lady passengers, and they
watcnea everything tbai was comer

that aid honor to the sex. "Ah, ba

studs, which were adjusted in their
proper places. . Canting a careful

the train was not far from tbe tunnel

prepared to shuck himself. Present
y the eventful moment came. Tbe
iroa horse plunged into the dark re
cesses of the tunnel, and tbe car was
shrouded in impenetrable darkness.
Presently a ray of light gleamed in
fantastic shapes along the rugged
wall of the tunnel, and by its faint
glimmer.
A STJifOOLISO FIOCRZ
Was discernable in the direction of
the young xnan'r seat. As the light
became stronger its gyrations grew
more frantic. Its great long arms,
increased in white, wildly about as
though in the agony of despair, and
finally when with a shriek of joy the
engine dashed into the dazzling sun
light, it sank into its seat apparently
crushed with mortification and cha

The ladies screamed with terror
and hid their blushes at tbe unusual

their handkerchiefs into their mouths
