"I bet you six pair of Jouvin's best,
my dear, that I bring that scorner of
women to my feet within six weeks!
That is a fair allowance week for each
pair of gloves!" exclaimed Miss May
Meredith", as she sat chatting with a gay
party of girls.
She was an acknowledged belle among
them, and although the man in question,
well adapted to win woman's hearts that
he was, was known ruther to avoid the
sex, or to waste upon them cynicisms or
courteous sarcasms, there were none
present who did not believe May Mere
dith had but to will and do.
None present, did I say? If a far-off
corner of the luxuriously -furnished room
sat a young girl, busily sewing. The
shell-tinted ears could not fail to catch
the conversation, and although the long
lashes did not lift themselves from the
great brown eyes bent upon her work, a
slightly contemptuous curve gathered
about the well cut lips, followed by a
half unconscious shrug of the the pretty,
rounded shoulders.
It was only Miss Harlon, Mrs. Mere
dith's poor dependent. She was a dis
tant relative of the family, but so dis
tant that the relationship was lost sight
of in the meagre salary allowed her for
supervising the large household, and
taking the part somewhat of a Cinderella
for the young ladies.
What mattered that , three years before,
she had sung out of her young heart,
from morn till eve, in the pretty country
parsonage in which her dear, dead
father had been actor? He had died and
and left her with the song unfinished on
her lips. The blow had almost killed
her, but a sweet hope in her heart of
another strong arm ready to protect her,
and fill, as best he might, his place, en
abled her to live through it, until she
learned, as she supposed, that all the
world was false, and gladly, thankfully,
accepted Mrs. Meredith's final offer of a
home, independence, however small, and
only bowed the auburn-covered head in
silence, when her cousin said:
"I do not expect you in any way to
presume upon the distant tie between us,
but simply to fulfill the duties assigned
you. Uf course, naving two young laay
daughters, and the factof your being in
mourning and .without a suitable ward
robe, you will not expect to enter at all
into society, or even into my own draw
ing-room.
Which sentence, being delivered very
quickly, and without, it must be con
fessed, due regard to the rules of pars
ing, only lost its impressiveness through
Miss Hanlon's entire indifference to the
subject-matter it contained.
Her life was not a hard lite, except in
its utter loneliness, and the moments
when she waged her war with memory
over a wound that would not heal; but
she idly wondered, sitting there, who
this man was who had given rise to all
this absurd speculation.
"Bringing him to your feet, May, is
rather ambiguous, is it not?" questioned
one of the party, ''What do you mean
by that phrase?"
"I mean that within six weeks, if I so
will it, I may become Mrs. Leigh Creigh
ton." The words were greeted with a laugh;
but from the girl's hands in the corner
the work had dropped, all trace of color
had left the lonely face, the great brown
eyes were open wide, even dilated, with
a strange, frightened expression in their
depths.
Leigh Creighton! Was it her own
fancy which had imagined the words?
No. They were all busily chatting now,
and his name passed from lip to lip,
while they told of his attractions, his
handsome face, his nameless grace, his
long stay abroad, his return home, his
strangely-indifferent manner, until the
color came into her cheeks, and her
trembling hands steadied themselves
while she stopped and regained posses
sion of the fallen work.
Ah, she could thank Mrs. Meredith
now for forbidding her entrance into the
gay world. It had never tempted her;
she bad never regretted it. Now she
must shun it. Fortunately the way was
easy. Their two paths would never
meet his and hers. But, oh! how the
old wound bled.
A week later she sat in her own room,
looking out into the dark night, while up
through the closed door came sounds of
music and laughter it was one of Mrs.
Meredith " At homes" when suddenly
the door flew open, and May, without
knocking, rushed into the room.
"Excuse me, Fanny," she exclaimed,
"but mamma is in such a state of excite
ment. Miss Adams, the soprano, had dis
appointed her, and she says you must
come down at once and sing in her
place."
"Oh, May. I cannot! Your mother
must excuse me."
"My dear child, you must! I should
not dare carry -such a message, and you
know the music room is away from the
rest, and I will see that no one disturbs
you. Slip on your black silk, and pin
this white rose in your hair. There!"
she added, a few moments later. " I
shall have to keep you in the dark now,
lest you eclipse us all. I really believe,
Fanny, one reason mamma keeps you so
in the background is because she is
afraid of yon!"
Hush, May! It is my wish as well
as her command."
Oh, if she dared ask if he were there!
thought Miss Harlon, as, seating herself
at the piano, she caught a glimpse of the
brilliant assemblage in the room be
yond. But what mattered it ? He would
not see her, or, seeing, would pass her
by unrecognized. She must calm her
self. She was glad that all were so en
grossed that only one or two saw her
take her position at the instrument.
A moment later, every one turned to
his neighbor in silenced amaze, as the
exquisitely clear, thrilling notes thrilled
through the room. Louder and louder,
and still more sweet, rose the young
voice, until, looking round among her
guests, Mrs. Meredith congratulated
herself on Miss Adams' absence, even
while she determined not again to permit
Miss Harlon to appear, else it would be
impossible to keep her in obscurity and
sue lound her so useful!
But, as the song died away, one man
stepped from behind a curtain which
had concealed him. His handsome face
was very pale, and there was a look both
of regret and anger in his eyes; but both
gave place to a great tenderness as he
stepped quietly to Miss Harlon s side.
"Fay!" he whispered.
At the old name the name only one
had ever given her the girl grew
deatniy white.
"Fay!" he said again, "have you no
welcome lor me after ail these years?
She opened her pale lips to answer.
but the words of scorn she meant to utter
refused to come. Pride struggled des
perately with the suffocating feeling that
was growing up about her heart, but in
vain. A veil oi darkness shut out from
her Leigh Creighton's face, and she fell
fainting in his arms.
"Such a ridiculous display!" observed
Mrs. Meredith the next morning. "I
expected, Fanny, more control on your
part. I never saw such a disgusted ex
pression as on Mr. Creighton's face.
To all of which Miss Harlow an
swered nothing.
Only when, the ndkt afternoon, in
the twilight's dusk, the servant, with a
somewhat amazed expression on his
well-trained face, put into her hand
Leigh Creighton's card, she wrote upon
her own these words in answer, and,
putting them in a sealed envelope,
bade the man return them to him:
"The one kindness you can do me is
to ignore the fact that we have ever
met before. It is my desire that we
shall never do so again."
And with these words she thought to
close the volume of her life's history.
The six weeks were drawing to a close,
and May was growing uneasy on the sub
ject of her wager. For the first time her
carefully sharpened arrows failed to hit
the destined mark; and although her
heart was not interested, her pride was.
and she determined anew upon conquest.
But with .bay the wager had been forgot
ten, as one afternoon she stole down into
the music room. Every one was out.
The house was deserted, as she sat down
at the piano, and let her hands play with
the keys. Mad her brain invoked the
melody which followed, or was it the
spirit of the past?
She had not played that air since she
had left the little parlor at the parson
age, when another manly, strange voice
had mingled with hers. She began it
now, but the sweeter, softer memories it
brought, were more than she could bear.
She burst into bitter, chocking sobs, and
the keys seemed to wail in harmony, as
her head fell forward upon them.
But the sound did not die away. An
other voice took it up and finished it to
the close, while she sobbed on. She did
not even wonder how he had come
there did not even think of escaping
him. The misery of the present absorbed
and overwhelmed her.
"Fay! little Fay!" he said, when
silence, except for her sobs, had fallen.
Tell me what all this cruel misunder
standing has meant, all these years. You
used to love me, in that far-on time.
What has changed you?"
"Used to love you! the girl answered,
her indignation calming. "Do you dare
boast of it? Yes, I loved you; and when
my father died, and 1 was lelt alone, L
looked for you to comfort me looked
out in vain until my heart almost broke.
Then, picking up the paper one day, I
read in it the news of your marriage, and
gladly escaped the scorn of my own soul
by accepting Mrs. Meredith's offer. Has
your wife been long dead, Mr. Creighton?"
"Married? My wife dead?" the man
answered, aghast. "My darling, what a
mistake it has all been! I have never
married. It was some one who bore my
name ; I did not even know. I wrote you
again and again, and as soon as possible
tried to find you. All in vain! You had
left no tribe behind. I was wretched,
and went abroad to try and forget you;
but I could not. Fay, I have found vou
now, never, never to lose you again!'
But May, returning from her afternoon
drive, and hearing voices in the music
room, suddenly hears the last carefully
prepared arrow in her quiver snap, as
she discovers a picture older than any
even of the oldest painters may have en
deavored to transmit to canvas, and with
the discovery knows that she has lost her
wager.
Montenegrin- Women. Deprived of
all moral or social pleasures enjoyed by
her sex elsewhere, it might be fancied
that the women of the Black Mountain
would find in her home a reward for the
hardships she endures, and for her un
remitting devotion to the men of her
family. Nothing of the kind. Within
the compass of the domestic walls the
men are even more brutal than despotic.
However careful the wife, the husband
finds a pretext for scolding and
grumbling. The wife who remonstrates
is soon convinced that silence is the best
policy. No Montengrin woman dares
concern herself in her husband's affairs.
Whether he goes out or comes in, she is
not permitted to make any inquiry nor
show in any way that she worries over
his prolonged or unusual absences.
When he is absent, his wife, though
threatened with death, will never reveal
his whereabouts. No husband writes to
his wife, no matter how long he is away
from home. In the vicinity of Mustar 1
met a woman whose husband had been
two years in Constantinople. Through a
fiiend's indiscretion' she learned pf his
whereabouts sixteen months after the
separation. At first I thought I had
met with a very rare exception, but I
soon discovered that it was the general
rule. A Montengrin laughed at me
when I expressed indignant surprise.
"Write to a woman to one's own wife!"
said he in scorn. "Are we doves or
men?" .
The chief use of a sea captain in these
days is to explain how it all happened
after most of the passengers have been
drowned.
Garfield's Magnetic Power.
The following reminiscence of General
Garfield's power during the greatest
crisis the country ever passed through
has been furnished us by a distinguished
gentleman who was present, and
shows the intellectual and moral
power of the Republican nominee for
the Presidency over a surging and mad
dened crowd: "I shall never forget the
first time a saw General Garfield. It
was ft morning after President Lin
coln's assassination. The country was
excited to its utmost tension and New
York city seemed ready for the scene of
the French revolution. The intelligence
of Lincoln's murder had been flashed by
the wires over the whole land. The
newspaper headlines of the transaction
were set up in the largest type; and the
high crime was on every one's tongue.
Fear took possession of men's minds as
to the fate of the efovernment, for in a
few hours the news came on that
Seward's throat was cut, and that at
tempts had been made upon the lives of
other Government officers. Posters were
stuck up everywhere, in great black let
ters, calling upon the loyal citizens of
New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City and
neighboring places to meet around
the Wall Street Exchange and give
expression to their sentiments. It was
a dark and terrible hour. What might
come next, no one could tell, and men
spoke with bated breath. The wrath of
the workingmen was simply uncontroll
able, and revolvers and knives were ia
the hands of thousands of Lincoln's
friends, ready, at the first opportunity ,to
take the law into their own hands and
avenge the death of the martyred Presi
dent upon any and all who dared to utter
a word against him. Eleven o'clock a. m.
was the hour set for the rendezvous.
Fifty thousand people crowded around
the Exchange Building, cramming and
and jamming the streets, and wedged in
tight as men could stand together. With
a few to whom a special favor was ex
tended, I went over to Brooklyn at 9 a. m.
and even then, with the utmost difficulty
found way to the reception room for the
speakers in front of the Exchange Build
iug, and looking into the high and
massive balcony, whose front was pro
tected by a heavy iron railing. We sat
in solemnity and silence, waiting for
General Butler, who, it was announced,
had started from Washington and was
either already in the city or expected
every moment. Nearly a hundred
generals, judges, statesmen, lawyers,
editors, clergymen and others were in
that room waiting Butler's arrival. We
stepped out to the balcony to watch
the fearfully solemn and swaying muss
of people. Not a hurrah was heard, but
for the most part a dead silence, or a
deep, ominous muttering ran like a
rising wave up the street toward Broad
way, and again down toward the river on
the right. At length the batons of the
police were seen swinging in the air, far
up on the lelt, parting tne crowd ana
pressing it back to make way for a carri
age that moved slowly and with difficult
jogs through the compact multitude.
Suddenly the silence was broken, and
the cry of 'Butler!' 'Butler!' 'Butler!'
rang out with tremendous and thrilling
effect, and was taken up by the people.
But not a hurrah not once! It was the
cry of a great people, asking to know
how their President died. The blood
bounced in our veins, and the tears ran
like streams down our faces. How it
was done I forget, but Butler was pulled
through and pulled up, and entered the
room, where we had just walked back to
meet him. A broad crape a yard long
hung from his left arm terrible con
trast with the countless flags that were
waving the nation's victory in the breeze.
We hrst realized then the trutn oi tne
sad tiuth that Lincoln was dead. TiFhen
Butler entered the room we shook
hands. Some spoke, some couldn t. All
were in tears. The only word Butler had
for us all, at the first break of the
silence, was: ' uentlemen, ne aiea in
the fullness of his fame!' and as he spoke
it, his lips quivered, and the tears ran
fast down his cheeks, xiien, alter a lew
moments came the speaking. And you
can imagine the effect, as the crape flut
tered in the wind, while his arm was up
lifted. Dickinson, of New York
State, was fairly wild. The old man
leaped oyer the iron railing of
the balcony and stood on the very
edge, overhanging the crowd, gesticu
lating in the most vehement manner, and
next thing to bidding the crowd 'burn
up the rebel seed, root and branch,'
while a bystander held on to his coat
tails to keep him from falling over. By
this time the wave of popular indigna
tion had swelled to its crest. Two men
lay bleeding on one of the side streets,
the one dead, the other next to dying,
one on the pavemen. the other in the
gutter. They had said a moment before
that 'Lincoln ought to have been shot
long ago!' They were not allowed to
say it again. Soon two long pieces of
scantling stood out above the heads of
the crowd, crossed at the top like the
letter X, and a looped halter pendent
from the junction, a dozen men follows
its slow motion through the masses,
while 'Vengeance !' was the cry. On the
right suddenly, the shout rose, TAe
World!' 'The World!' The office of the
World!' ' World!' World!' and a move
ment of perhaps 8,000 or 10,000 turning
their faces in the direction of that
building began to be executed. It was
a critical moment. What might come
no one could tell, did that crowd get in
frbnt of that office. Police and military
would have availed little o been too late.
A telegram had just been read from
Washington, 'Seward is dying.' Just
then, at that juncture, a man stepped
forward with a small flag in his
hand, and beckoned to the
crowd. 'Another telegram from Wash
ington.' And tfien, in the awful still
ness of the crftis, taking advantage of
the hesitation of the crowd, whose steps
had been arretted a moment, a right arm j
was lifted skyward, and a voice clear and j
steady, loud and distinct, spoke out, j
"Fellow citizens! clouds and darkness j
are round about Him! His pavillion is

God reigns; and the Government at
Washington still lives!' The effect was
tremendous. The crowd stood riveted to
the ground in awe, gazing at the motion
less orator, and thinking of God and the
security of the government in that hour.
As the boiling wave subsides and settles
to the sea when some strong wind beats
it down, so the tumult of the people
sank and became still. All took it as a
divine omen. It was a triumph of elo
quence inspired by the moment, such as
falls to but one man's lot, and that but
once in a century. The genius of Web
ster, Choate, Everett, Seward, never
reached it. What might have happened
had the surging and maddened mob been
let loose, none can tell. The man for
the crisis was on the spot, more
potent than Napoleon's guns at Paris. I
inquired what was his name. The an

An Emperor Who Would Have Dum
plings. Ferdinand I. was, from all accounts, an
amiable weak-minded man, and took no
interest whatever in the government,
which was managed by the chief minis
ter, the Prince Metternich, the real
monarch. An amusing anecdote . was
current of the Emperor, which his sub
jects took a great delight in repeating.
It appears that His Majesty was hunting
that summer in the Syrian mountains,
and was overtaken by a violent thunder
storm. He took refuge in e farm house,
whose occupants were just then at din
ner. The Emperor's eye was caught by
some smoking dumplings made of coarse
flour, and he said he ' would like to
taste them. The farmer's wife was over
joyed, and helped him plentifully. His
chamberlains were astonished to see
their master eat with more relish than
he had evidently done before. When he
got back to Vienna he ordered the same
kind cf . dumplings served up daily, to
the horror of the royal cooks. The
courtiers were scandalized at such a
homely dish figuring on the menu, and
even the physicians remonstrated against
such coarse food. The Emperor, who
had always been the most pliant of men,
now showed that he had a will of his
own, and persisted in gratifying his own
fancy. Finally, after a long consulta
tion, the physicians decided that it wao
dangerous to his health to be living on
dumplings, and insisted on his giving
them up. To their astonishment the
docile monarch stamped his foot and de
clared he would never sign another
official document if his diet was denied
him. "Emperor I am," he shouted,
"and dumplings I will have!" To pre
vent a stoppage of the government
machinery, all opposition was withdrawn
and His Majesty clung tenaciously to his
dumplings. The imperial phrase is
likely to become proverbial, for already
I heard, if any one insisted on the grati
fication of a silly whim the Emperor's
words were sure to be thrown at him :
"Emperor I am, and dumplings I will
have!"
The Sergeant's Cork Leo. Modern
science has brought the cork leg- to a
state of perfection which renders it al
most impossible for the casual observer
to detect the difference between the ral
and artificial. There was an eminent
sergeant-at-law some years ago ' who had
a cork leg that was a triumph of artistic
deception. None but his intimates knew
for certain which was the real and which
was the sham limb. A wild young wag
of the "utter bar," who knew the ser
geant pretty well, once thought to utilize
this knowledge of the sergeant's secret to
take in a green, newly-fledged young
barrister. The sergeant was addressing
a special jury at Westminster in his
usual earnest and vehement style, and
the wag whispered to has neighbor.
"You see how hot old Buzfuz is over his
case; now, I'll bet you a sovereign I'll
run this pin into his leg up to the head,
and he'll never notice it, he's so absorbed
in his case. He's a most extraordinary
man in that way." This was more than
the greenhorn could swallow, so he took
the bet. The wag drew a large pin from
his waistcoat, and leaning forward drove
it up to the head into the sergeant's leg.
A yell that froze the blood of all who
heard it, that made the hair of the jury
stand on end and caused the judge's wig
almost to fall off, ran through the court.
"By Jove! it's the wrong leg, and I've
lost my money," exclaimed the dismayed
and conscience -stricken wag, quite re
gardless of the pain he had inflicted
upon the learned sergeant.
Simpsonbcbo's Conundrum. Simp
sonburg is not noted for his activity;
quite the contrary. At the club the
otuer evening he got up energy suf
ficient to propound a conundrum. Said
he, "Boys, why am I like a torpedo?"
After having . recovered from the shock
produced from Simpsonburg's unwonted
activity, the guesses flowed in quick suc
cession, Jones thought it was because a
torpedo is full of empty noise; but that
was not right, Simpsonburg said.
Neither was Bobinson's guess, that it
was because a torpedo doesn't say any
thing when it speaks. Smith tried to
work out a pun on torpedo, torpid oh,
but failed miserably. Everybody began
to look sick. Then Brown tried. He
said it was because a torpedo is not good
for anything till its neck is twisted.
Simpsonburg shook his head with some
thing like animation. One of the boys
said it was because it was a relief when
either went off, and another ventured the
guess, in an undertone, that it was a
blasted nuisance. Finally Simpsonburg
had to divulge; he couldn't contain him
self longer. He said it was because he
was full of snap. The boys yawned lan
guidly; every one of them acknowledged
to Simpsonburg that he should never
have guessed it, which pleased Simpson
burg mightily. Boston Transcript. 1
