So Miss Peppard, who was a dear

little sweet-tacea, wonuenuuy ungui,
old lady, living in toe uiueei, aim
comfortable manner on a small in
come, with a faithful colored servant
a few years younger than herself, a
llv-nnlv doer, a tortoise-shell cat,
and three birds, had two reasons for
being sorely vexed the loss of her
money and the loss of the days which
she expected would start the green
things a-growing.
"All the money I had," she said to
Peteona called On a for short as
she rocked nervously back and forth
in her rocking-chair, her eyes spark
ling and her cheeks flushed. "I only
wish I could catch the thief. I'd
send him to jail as sure as grass is
green."
"Dat's sho' enuf, Miss Peppar' j'
Peteona always dropped the "d"
"an' it'd sarve 'em zactly right, w'en
dey was ketched, to be drug to de
lock-up by the heels." Then, after a
slight pause, which was Ona's way,
she added an after-thought: "Dono,
dough; 'spose dey might as well take
de poor wretch by de head."
"All the money I had," repeated
Miss Peppard; "five and twenty dol
lars; and 1 can't get any more for two
weeks, for borrow I never did and
never will. And there's the garden
all laid out, and ready for planting,
and Mrs. Brown sets out her lettuces
and cabbage plants to-morrow morn
ing, and she'll be sending them here
with her compliments her compli
ments indeed! before ours have be
gun to head."
"If she do, I'll frow 'em ober de
fence," said Ona. "Better eat 'em,
dough, I guess; her compliments can't
hurt 'em."
"And, oh! my conscience! ' Miss
Peppard went on (sho could invoke
her conscience thus lightly, dear
old lady, because she had nothing on
it), "babv's picture was in that pock
etbook. "And I can't get another.
Polly said it was the last, and the
photographer don't come that way
but once a year."
"Well, well, you are a poor soul,"
sympathized Petona, "to go an' lose
dat ar picter dat lubly thing jus'
like a borned angel. An' yer sisters'
onliest chile 'cept five. Wish I had
dat robber yere dis minit; 1 d box bis
ears so couldn't set down fur a week."
"He wouldn't be here long," said
her mistress. "Of all things in the
wide world I hate is a thief. I'd have
him put where he steal nothing for
a year at least.
"Might be a sho; dar am she rob
bers," suggested Od, "an dey's all
wuss den caterpillars. Caterpillars
takes things right 'afore yo eyes
don't sneak in yo pocket. Take a
cup of tea, Miss Peppar. Dar is no
use frettin' no mo'. An' de cat's been
bettin' on yer skirt for half an hour,
wantin you to notice her, pore thing.
She jus came in off de pech a minit
ago."
Miss Peppard took the tea and
spoke to the cat; but she couldn't
help fretting; and she slept but little
that night, and awoke the next morn
ing almost as vexed as ever, and
denounced the thief at intervals of
about half an hour from breakfast
until dinner, although Peteona em
phatically remarked: "Dar's no use
cursin' an' swearin', Miss Peppar';
can't do no good. Wish I had dat
robbin' debbil here, dough!"
But after dinner, for which Ona
aerved a soothing little stew and a
cooling cream custard, the old lady
became a little calmer, and retired to
her own room to write a letter to
her sister Polly, who lived away off
in Michigan; and she had just writ
ten: "And I can't make a strawberry
bed this summer, as I intended, and
dear! dear! how I shall miss baby's
picture!" When Peteona Opened the
door sans ceremome, as sue always
did, and walked in with a mysterious
air. "Pusson want to see you, Miss
Peppar' man pusson. 'Bout a boy's
age, l guess.
"What does be iook use, ana
where di1 you leave him?" asked the
old lady, laying down her pen, and
looking a little alarmed.
"Out on de po ch. 1 lock de do .
An' he's a dirty, ragged feller dat

Shall I broom him off, Miss Peppar'?
Looks as dough he ought to be
broomed on or gib sumhn to eat

"1 II come rignt down, said miss
Peppard; and down she went. And
there on the porch stood a dirty,
ragged, forlorn looking boy of about
twelve years of age, looking exceed
ingly "bony" and half-starved, sure
enough. He pulled off his apology
for a cap when Miss Peppard opened
the door, but said never a word until
the old lady asked him, in a mild
voice she never spoke unkindly to
dirt and rags: "Well, my boy, what
do you want?"
"Then you lost your pocketbook,
yisterday?" he blurted out.
"Yes," said she eagerly. "That is,
it was stolen from me; for I felt it in
my pocket a moment before I missed
it. Do you know the thief?"
"I'm him," was the answer; and he
raised a pair of dark eyes, that
looked like the eyes of a hunted ani
mal, to her face.
"My conscience!" explained the
old lady, and fell into a chair that
stood near, while Peteona darted out
and seized him, shouting: "Golly!
got yo' wish mighty soon dis time,
Miss Peppar'. Bun for de constable.
I'll hold him. Could hold a dozen
like him or two or free."
"Let him alone, Ona," said her
mistress, while the boy stood with
out making the slightest resistance.
"Ain't he to be drug to de lock
up?" asked Ona, with a toss of her
turbaned head.
"Wait 'till we hear what he has to
say, said Miss Peppard. Then, turn
ing to the boy, she asked, as mildly
as ever: "Of course you haven
brought me back "
"Yes. I have," interrupted he
"Here 'tis, money and all, 'cept what

I found your name in it on a card
and whore you lived.
"But, bless you!" exclaimed the
old lady, more and more surprised
"what made you take it if you were
going to bring it back? Come into
the kitchen and tell me all about it
Ona, give him a drink of milk."
"By the Lor' Harry!" rolling up
her eyes until nothing but the whites
were visible, "nebber hear of sich a

kitchen! An' I shan't do it. Spect

folks, dough. And she handed him
the milk, which he drank eagerly.
"Now, go on," said Miss Peppard
"Why did you steal my pocketbook!

" "iaint sort, data de lac," said
.f eteona, gravely.
"So I fell in with a gang of bad
fellers, but I never stole nothin' but
things to eat till yesterday. I come
out of the House of Befuge two
weeks ago "
"House of Refuge!" exclaimed
Peteona, holding up her hands. "An'

"I was there for breukin' a winder
and sassin' a cop," said the boy with
a show of indignation, "and nothin'
else, though they did try to make me
out a regular bad un." And then he
went on, under the influence of Miss
Peppard's steady gaze: "And the
fellows said I was a softy not to have
the game as "well as the name, and
so I went into that store, 'cause I
seen a lot of folks there, and I stole
your pocketbook, and" dropping
his eyes and his voice "there was a
picter of a little baby in it."
"My sister Polly's child!" cried
Miss Peppard, her wrinkled cheeks
beginning to glow.
"Her onliest child 'cept five,',
said Peteona.
"And it looks like," continued the
boy, bursting into tears "it looks
like my little sister.'1
"Your sister?" repeated Miss Pep
pard, her own eyes filling with tears.
"Is she with her mother?"
" 'S to be hoped she be," said Ona
with a sniff, "or some odder place
whar she'll bo washed. Her brud
der's dirty nuff for a hull family."
"She's in a place ten miles or more
from here," said the boy, "with a
woman who used to know- mother.
Mother gave her $50 just afore she
died. She managed to save it and
hide it from father somehow, to keep
Dolly till my aunt in California
could send for her; but my aunt's
dead, too, and I'm afraid Dolly will
have to go in the Orphan Asylum
after all. Father don't care nothin'
about her. But if she does, if I'm a
good boy, I can go to see her; but if
I'm a thief And when I saw that
picture I said I will be good. It
seemed as though the baby was
a-lookin at me and wantin' me to
kiss her. Nobody ever kissed me
but my mother. Here's your book."
Miss Peppard took it from hid
hand, opened it, found its con touts
as he had described them, and then
sat full tivo minutes in deop thought.
"You want to bo a good, honest
boy," sho said at last, "so as to be a
credit instead of a shame to vour
baby sister?"
"Yes," answered the boy.
"It's mostly yes, ma'am, in de
parts," corrected Ona.
"Well, I'll try you." said Mibs
Peppard.
"You ("starting from his chair.
"Yes, I. I want some nlants and
seeds from the storo where you sto
tooic tue pocketbook, ana 1 am going
to trust you to get them for mo.
But before you go thero, do you
know any placo whero you can buy
a suit or ciotnes, trom shoo to uat,
for a very little money!"
"Yes, ma'am," answered the boy,
in a voice that already had a ring of
hope in it. "Second-hand Bobby's."
"Well, go to second-hand Robert's,
buy the clothes . By-the-by, what
is your name?"
"Dick Poplar."
"And, Dick," continued the old
lady, "do you know any place where
you can take a bath!"
"'S to be honed he do." said
Peteona.
"Yes, ma'am."
"Take a bath, put on the new
clothes, throw" with a slight mo
tion of disgust "the old ones
away "
"'S to be hoped he will," said
Peteona.
"Then go to the seed store and give
them the note I will write for you.
And here are two $5 bills."
"An' dar money is soon pari" ex
claimed Peteona. " No matter 'bout
do fust word."
But the boy fell on his knees be
fore Miss Peppard and sobbed outright.
"An' he'll nebber come back no
mo'," sung Ona, at the top of her
voice, as sue went about her work
that afternoon after Djpk's departure
"no, ne 11 nebber come back :
mo."
But he did. Just as the sun was
sinking in the west, a nice-looking,
dark-eyed, dark-haired boy, dressed
in a ouii of gray a little too large for
turn, and carrying a package in his
arms, came up the garden path to
the door of the mite of a cottage. It
was JJickso c banged Peteona scarce
ly knew him, and the package con
tained the seeds and onion sets and
young lettuce and cabbages, and be
fore dark he had planted them all,
under the superintendence of Miss
Peppard, in the mite of a garden.
and Mrs. Brown had no chance of
sending her "compliments" that sea
son.
"And now, ma'am," said Dick, after
supper, "I'll go. 1 thank you ever
so much, and I wish my mother had
known you.
"P'r'haps she know her now," said
una.
"And I will be a good boy I will,
indeed." "
"With the help of God," said Miss
Peppard, solemnly.
"With the help of God," said the
boy, in a low voice.
"But I guess you'd better stay
here to night," continued Miss Pep
pard. "You can sleep in the wood-
nouse. Peteona will make you a

"Shan't do no such ting!" said Pe
teona, defiantly.
"Ona!" reproved her mistress.
"Till my dishes is washed, I mean,
Miss Peppar," said Ona.
"And then to-morrow morning you
can start for that baby. Cats and
dogs and birds are well enough in
their way, but a baby is worth them
all."
"Gollv! now von're talkin'. Miss
Peppar," shouted Ona. "I's always

ine very next night a sweet baby

At 10 o eloek one morning a few weeks
ago, Mis Darling, who was eae of a
party or thirty, descended the steep stair
case of ninety steps leading to the eata
combs, and, preceded by Kuides, entered
the galleries, whose tortwous winding
and ramifications have all the perplex H
ties of a labyrinth. Miss Darling, with
the indoiHmdcncc of nu American girl,
auittod her party and set out to explore
le underground horror alone. Among
so many Hlie wh not iiumhc1. A little of
this sight-seeing witmHod her companions
and they returned to the light and to
their dinners. In tint meantime Miss
Darling was hurrying through one gal
lery after another. Ilnfortunatolv mIh-
had not provided herself with a supply of
candles, and when the one nho carried was
burned out and alio was left in nttor dark
ness she began to realize the horrors of her
situation. It was then, so the story runs,
that " she did what every other woman
would have done in similar circum
stances she fainted away." How long
she remained insensible sho does not
know; but when she came to herself she
made throughout the remainder of the
day and through the night the galleries
echo with her shrieks for help. For
tunately for her, at ten o'clock the next
morning a workman, while passing along
a neighboring gallery, heard her cries,
and hurried to the rescue. He found
her in one of those galleries that have no
thoroughfare and ore simply side pas
sageSj and two yards from the spot
where he encoiintered her was the mouth
of an exhausted shaft, down which she
had only escaped falling bv the sudden
ness with which she remained on the
spot where she fell. When at the end of
eighteen hours, she was brought to the
light she fainted again. But, "all's
well that ends well," although for a short
time her situation appeared to be criti
cal. There is a moral in this true story
which it behooves adventurous young
women to heed. In foreign travel,
whether among the Alps, or the Roman
or French catacombs, or in strange cities
wnere tne dangerous classes abound,
too much independence or championship
is perilous, apart from the conventional
ism abroad, which looks askance at young
women wandering aoout alone.
Were There Ever Such Fools ?

country. Mill once " showed to use a

western part of New York where no
theatrical performance had ever been

and the curtain came down at last amid

Depth of Earthquakes.
The recent earthquake at Virginia
City was not noticed at all in the mining
aeptns, out only oy people on the sur
face. Their famous earthquake of some
years ago, which shook down chimneys,
fire walls, cracked brick buildings, and
did other damage, was merely noticed
by some of the miners working in the
upper levels, but it did no damage, not
even shaking down loose stones and
earth. The station men in the various
shafts felt it the strongest, and the deep
est point where it was noticed was by the
station tender at the 900-foot level of the
Imperial-Empire shaft 900 feet below
the surface. He said it felt like a sud
den faint throb or pulsation of the air,
as though a blast had been let off some
where at a distance, above, below or in
some indefinite direction. In some of
the mines the shock was not noticed at
all, even by the station men. Comment
ing on this peculiar fact at the time, the
Gold Hill News remarked that the earth
quake seemed to be an electrical dis
turbance proceeding from the atmos
phere and not from the depths of the
earth.
How to Make Cologne Water.
Any one can make, in her own store
room, a better article of cologne than that
which is usually bought, by thoroughly
dissolving a fluid dram of oil of berga
mot, orange and rosemary each with a
half a dram of nereli and a pint of recti
fied spirits. As good as can be made out
of cologne itself, , however, is also quite
as comfortably prepared at home as at the
chemists at so much less than the chem
ist's prices, that one feels warranted in
using it freely simply by mixing with
one pint of rectified spirits two drams
each of the oils of bergamot and lemon,
one of the oil of orange, and half as much
of that of rosemary, together with three
quarters of a dram of nereli and fonr drops
each of the escence of ambergris and
musk. If this be subseqnenty distilled,
it makes what may be called a perfect
cologne, bat it becomes exceedingly fine
by being kept tightly stoppered for two or
three months, to ripen and mellow for
use.

CALIFORNIA ELASTICJ
V TRUSS COMPANY. W.
T. Horne, Prop'r., Dear sin
I feel that I owe it to you and
to humanity to write the fact
that I have been SUBSTAN
TIALLY CURED of a bad
rapture, of thirty years' standing, by one of
your incomparable Trusses, which 1 purchased
from you three months ago. I cannot describe
the suffering, both mentally and physically, that
I have undergone during that period; and now I
feel like a new being. I have worn all kinds of
Trusses, both steel and elastic, and never re
ceived any permanent relief until I tried yours.
Its simplicity of construction, and facility with
which it can be adjusted, and the ease and free
dom to the motions of the body with which it
can be worn without causing any irritation, are
its chief merits, and it is a perfect supporter. I
have not had any sign of a return of a Rupture
since the first day I put it on, and feel that I am
PERFECTLY CURED. It is invaluble, and the
fact should be known to the world. You can
refer any one to me on the subject of their merits.
I am yours trulv,

California Truss CJo:
After practicing medicine many years in this
city, during which time I have had an extensive
experience in the application of all kinds of
Trusses, I can and do recommend yours as the
best in every respect, and is as near perfect as
modern science can make it. It has many advan
tages over the torturing steel hoop Trusses, which
inflict great injury on the hips and spine, bring
ing on other distressing ailments, such as Lum
baeo. morbid affections of the kidney and
numbness in the lower limbs, all of which are
avoided by wearing the California Elastic Truss.
It is not only a perfec1; retainer, comprising ease
and comfort, hut the pressure can be changed to
any degree. It also remains in its proper place
at all times, regardless of the motions ol the
body. nd is worn night and day wjtii perfect
ease, it is superior to any of the Elastic Trusses
now in the market, while it combines the merits
of all. 1st It is easily adjusted on and off with
naps, doing away with straps and buckles. 2nd
The universal spring between- tne piates ana
neds prevents all irritation, which is a god-send
to the sufferer. 3rd The pad is adjusted on and
off in an instant, and can be changed to any
other size and form most suitable to the case. In
fact it combines every quality essential to comfort
and durability, and is unequaled in lightness,
and elasticity, natural action and artistic finish.
Many of my patients who are afflicted with her
nia are wearing tnem, ana an snail in tne future,
for I think the great ease with whirh these
purely scientific appliances are made efficacious,
is truly wonderful. You can refer any parties to
me on the subject of their merits.
1 temain truly yours,
