It is a touchiug sight to see a woman
begin to make up her expenses; having
firmly resolved t put down every cent
she spt nds, so as to find out how to
economize, and where all the money
goes. Procuring a small book, she
makes a due entry, and on tho Monday
after the first Saturday in which her hus
band brings home his pay, sho curt fully
tears tho margin of a newspaper aud,
with a blunt j ncil, strikes a trial bal
ance something in this way:
"John brought mo homo forty-eight
dollars, and forty cents, and one dollar
and forty three cents I had is forty-nine
dollars and ninety-three cents, and one
dollar and nine cents I Ieut Mrs. Dixon
is fifty dollars aud ninety-three cents
but, hold on, I ought not to enter that,
because when she returns it it'll go down.
That was forty-nine dollars and ninety
three cents, and what have I dono with
that ?"
Then she puts down the figures, leav
ing out tho items to save time a process
w hich enables her to leave out most of
the items to where a round sum is in
volved ou tho supposition that they
have alreadv been put down. As thus:
"Six doliars and fourteen cents for
meat; and tun cents for celery; and ten
cents on the street cars; and a bad five
cent piece I got in exchange; und two
dollars aud eighty-one cents I paid the
unlkmau, w ho owes me nineteen cents
that's three dollars; and fifteen cents at
church; and the groceries they were
either fifteen dollars und sivty cents or
sixteen dollars aud fifty cent's, and I
dou't remember which they were, but 1
guess it must hsve leen fifteen dollars
aud sixty cents, for the grocer said if I'd
give him a dime he could give me half a
dollar, w inch would make even change,
and I couldn't because the smallest I
bud was a quarter; and two dollars and
seventy-five cents for mending Katie's
shoes, which is the last mouey that .shoe
maker ever gets from me; and ten cents
for celery no, I put that down."
Piually sho sums up her trial-balance-sheet,
and finds that it foots up sixty
four dollars aud twenty eight cents,
which is almnt fitieen dollars more than
she had originally. She goes over the
list several times aud checks it carefully,
but all the items are correct, and she is
just alouo iu despair when her givsl
angel hints that there may be a possible
mistake in the addition. Acting npou
the suggestion, she foots up the column
aud finds that the total is forty-four dol
lars and twenty-eight cents, and that ac
cording to the principles of arithmetic
she ought to have five dollars and sixty
five cents. Then she counts her cash
several times, tho result varying from
one dollar and forty cents up to ouo dol
lar and ninety-neve u cents, but then she
happily discovers that she has beeu mis
taking a two dollar and a half gold piece
for a cent, and remembers that she gave
the babv a trade-dollar to cut its gums
with In the whole she has come within
eighty six cents of a balance, and that,
shei says, is close enough, and she enters
in one line of the account-book "I-r.
Py household cxim-uscs" so much: and
is very happv till she re!ue!iilers ju-t
after going to Issl, that she has omit led
two collars and seventy-five ceuts for her
husband's hat.
The picture that had delighted the
neighbothood: Artist "Therw is the
barn, with the pigeon on it. The barn,
you see, i suppose 1 to b- half a mile
away." Visitor "But there are the
pigcun'a feet; you can see them distinct
ly. " Artit '"Of course, I made them
plain on pnrjHise." Visitor "What ! do
you imunlo say that there's a mau living
who can see a pigeon's feet half a mile
a war?" Artist "Oh, sure enough
don't mention this. I can fix them feet."
THE DefTOBTI STORY.
-
It waa a summer evening, and I was
Unding in front of my consulting room
door with my frieud Horace Bertaam, a
young and rising lawyer, when we saw
two youag ladies approachiug. One was
tall and stately and possessed a counte
nance on which truth and purity had
fixed their btamp in unmistakable charac
ters. The other was petite and graceful,
and both were bcuutiful as a dream of
fuir women. Aa ther passed they nodded
in a friendly manner to Horace, and I
noticed a friendly smile pass over the
face of the taller one. I saw a flush
mount to the bieh fair head of my friend
aa he raised bis hat, and I drew my own
conclusions.
As for me. I wa completely absorbed
in the statelier lady of the two, and the
lichtof her clear. "earnest eye rested for
a moment on mine and haunted me after
ward like a dream.
As thev vanished from sight I turned
to Horace with
Who arc they? Where do they live?
And waat relation are they to each
other?"
Gently my friend. Oue question at a
time. Don t got excited over those ladies.
They are of noble blood and far out of
the reach of such poor human beings as
I Horace Bertram, the lawyer, and Mil-
fried Imsdowne, the doctor.''
I "That ihs's not answer my question."
j "I was coming to that, by easy stages.
I They me tii great original aud only
.'nuigbteis of Sir G-imM Wyatt, an enor
j in is! v wealthy Englishman, who came
' t-i Aim-net far his health a few years
since."
"Sir Gerald Wyatt! Impossible!"'
"On the contrary, it is qnite possible
and very probable. I know all about
them."
"Has Sir Gerald any male heirs sons,
you know?"
"He has no sons. Hut his title and
estates revert at his death, to a distant
cousin his ony malo relative if he
ever finds him. Ho has never seen him,
and the most diligent eearch for him has
thus far proved fruitless."
"Where did you say they live?"
"I haven't said at all yet. But if yon
will give ma time I will say that they
live in a suburban palace called the
Towers."
Three weeks after this conversation I
met Horace again and he opened with
"I say, Wilfricd, that English cousin
has arrived."
"Impossible," said I in astonishment.
"There yon go again. I tell you it is
possiblo. I have seen him myself felt
of him, and know him to be real flesh
and blood, and real, good looking En
glish cockney he is, too. Sir Gerald is
overjoyed, und is determined that ho
shall marrv Lucille."
"Marry Lucille!"
"Perhaps you'll say that is impossible.
You may bo right about that, for she
has taken an unaccountable dislike to
Guy"
"Guy who?" cried I.
"Guy lUdelitl'e that is the English
cousin's cognomen."
"I'm hut tell nie; you say that Lu
cille has taken u dislike to him, and"
"Is terribly proitrute over it. Jut
Sir Gerald is a stubborn old cuss, and is
determined to keep the eetutc in the
family."
I waited to hear no more but rushed
to my ollice, locked the door and pro
ceeded to my safe and took out a packet
o! old letters. Just then I heard a knock
at the poor. I opened it and my servant
handed me a uoto which vad as follows:
"Sir Gerald Wyatt would esteem it a
favor if Dr. Lsnsdowne would accom
pany the bearer to the Towers.'wbere his
professional services are requested."
In a moment I was ready and in the
waiting carriage. On the way 1 ques
tioned the the coachman as to who
needed me.
"Miss Lucille, $;ir. She's awfully
shook up, und, aud there is none of 'em
as can do nothing with her."
We were soon at the gates of the
Towers, and as I passvd hastily through
the grounds, I noticed that everything
showed signs of wealth, lavishly, yet
tastefully expended. I was ushered into
a room where I was cordially met
by Sir Gerald, whn introduced mo to
"Guy lladcliti'e" aud then proceeded to
say:
"Doctor, I sent for yon to attend my
daughter, and I must briefly put you in
possession of the facts of her case so that
you can proceed intelligently."
I nodded assent.
"Women are queer creatures, you
know. Now my daughter has taken it
into her head to make herself sick all on
account of a foolish whim. It is simply
this: Mr. lladcliiTe, here, is as good a
young man as ono is likely to see, and I
intend she shall marry him. Iu confi
dence, doctor, I owe it to Guy's mother
who was my cousin to make some
reparation for having neglecUd her and
her's so long, llesides, I kcow Guy will
make as good a husband as Lucille 'can
tlud. "Isn't that true?" he said address
ing HadclilVe.
"You flatter nie too much. Sir Gerald,
I certainly hintend to muke my cousiuas
'appv as is bin my power."
"lint we'll not di:-cnss the matter now,
said Sir Gerald. "She is iu a fainting
fit now, having bven drooping and grow
ing weaker and weaker from day to dsy
since she faw I was determined on the
match "
"Then, surely," said I, "there is no
time to lose."
I- was led at once to the room of the
patient. I went up to the Kxl where her
si-ter was kneeling and crying as if her
heart would break, and directed my
eflorts at once to the resuscitation of tlie
beautiful but motionless figure before
me. In a short time her eyes opened
and rested upon mine. She must have
caught my eager l.xik. I turned to her
sistt r and gave her instructions aud then
sought Sir Gerald.
"Sir Gerald." I began, "I perceive tint
year daughter's constitution and temper
ament are of the highest nervous t vje.
She is brokeu by mental sufferingand
to prolong the strain might endanger
life itself. I beg you, theretore, if you
value her existence, not to mention her
cons.n's name to her until I see you
again. 1 will be here usrain to-morrow
morning."
"Certainly, doctor; I will obey your
instructions."
Early next morning I was at the Tow
era again, and was ushurel into the
library, where Sir Gerald was alone,
waiting to receive me. Aftr learning
of the improved condition of my patient,
I at once opened the subject nearest to
my heart by placing a packet in Lis
hands, saying: n ti
"This will explain to you, bir Gerald,
the object of my interview, and if you
need more convincing proof of what they
point to I am ready to furnih them in
abundance." .
He opened thebundle.and a miniature
likenes of my mother was the first ob
ject that met his glance.
"Addie-my dear little cousin, Addie.
a .i , ,.;.. nrp tio the very same one
I gave to Addie on her 17th birthday. In
tho name of all that's wonderful, who
are you? How did these things come in
your possession?"
"Simply from my mother, Sir Gerald,
for I am AilillO ireucrun n uuit ni""-
Wilfred Ireherne, otherwise Lans
ilnwnA."
How is that nossible?" Here is Guy
Kadeliffe, who claims the same relation
ship to Addie. He certainly brought no
proofs jbut I, anxious to find my cousin's
child, believed all he told me. If yon
are Addie's son. whv is it that they call
yon Lansdowuc?"
"That is a long story," I said. "My
mother's marriage was one of affection,
lint not of nrosneritv. After I was boin
we came to America w here my father
nracticed his profession a few years,
leaving ns in poverty. My mother was
too proud to ask tho assistance of her
rich relatives, but carried me back to
our old home ia England, where she
soon died, unknown to her relatives, for
she had adopted a fictitious namo the
better to conceal her identity. 1 men
made my way back to this country, and
made my way through college, and om
now as vou see me.
"Hut'who is this Guy lladcliiTe?"
"Do vou remember Hugo Kascelli?"
"My old valet'"
"Yes; Sir Gerald; ami this fellow is a
son of yonr old servant.
"Now that I think of it. I remember
who it is I was trvinz to discover he re
Bombled. And to think that I received
the son of a servant I had to discharge
for dishonesty, as my heir and the pros
pective husband of my daughter!"
It was some minutes before the wrath
of the baronet spent itself. But w. en
he recovered his equanimity he said
"Tell me how you know anything of
Kascelli?"
"My mother pointed'the father and son
out to me before she died. I never for
get a countenance, and I knew the fel
low, the very moment I saw him yester
day.'
Sir Gerald then rend the letters and
proofs of my identity, and then rose
and grasped me cordially by the hand
and said:
My dear boj , I look upon all this as
providential, and believe me I am over
joyed at finding after all those years of
seurcii, my aarnng cousin auiiio s son.
lou oro to be my heir, and as it is my

Days and weeks passed. Lucille grew
strong, beautiful and happy once more
My professional visits had been constant
and mv care assiduous. Sho was so fur
advanced in convalescence that I could
find no longer any reasonable excuse for
continuing my professional visits, and I
ilctcvmined to leiirn mv fate.
Ono afternoon I went to the Towers
and found that sIiowys, out walking in
tho grounds. 1 wandered out in search
of her, and, remembering a favorite ar
bor of hers, sought her there. I found
her fixing up the trailing branches of a
rose. It was a lovely picture, and I
scarcely dared to disturb it; but, sum
moning courage, I entered, took her by
the hand and led her to a rustic seat. I
never could tell exactly what followed;
all that I know was that I was pouring
forth the warmest words of love, and she
was listening to me with downcast eyes
and blushing face. What did I she
say ? Has not that ."old, old story" been
often told, and as often "set two flutter
ing hearts aglow ?"
"Are you sure," said I, after the first
burst of rupJnre, "that you love nie for
myself just as I nni ? Suppose your
father still clings to the idea of your
marrying yonr cousin , what would" you
consider your duty then ? Would love
settle the conflict between right and
wrong, Lucille?"
"Ob, don't ask me. Wilfried. When
he saw how truly we loved each other he
wouldn't compel me to pass through tho
sitae trials from which I have just been
released. Aud it would be a thousand
times worso now, since I havo loved
another."
"Listen to me, Lucille. I, and not
your father's recent visitor, am your
English cousin." And then, seated to
gether, while she wept tears of gladness,
we talked of what you, dear reader, al
ready know.
Many Christmas eves have passed, and
many long and happy years have frosted
