The) Leading Part They Played is a Romance. Friend of the two girls often thought l wa a great pitj t at Mrs. Arbcthnol r-d her husband had been appointed sole guardians of Jasper Nevira' niece, with full care of their money a well as o.' the girl themselves; for Mr. Arbuth i ot though a good, well-meaning man, was a clay in the acute wife's bands rnd all wbo knew her knew that monej v. as the one thing she worshipped. In her way she liked these girls, whose mother had been her favorite sister, and .he gave them a happy home happy, that is. until the ever-troublesome ques tions about lovers began to arise Lilias Kevins was but little more than year older than her sister Minnie, the two were united as twins could hav been; rather too much united on ons point for the comfort of their Aunt llettie, as they called Mrs. Arbuthnot, and that wa their opinion of Frank Carroll and Felipe Mariana!. "I do declare Lilias" said Minnie one n'ght after they had retired to their room for the n'ght "1 can not compre bend why aunt llettie to dotes on Mr. Mariscai; be is as sallow and thin as i man can be; he h.n't two words to say for himself; he is not particularly poliU to auntie why does she like him sa much?'' It is clear enough to me," replied Lilian, "You know Aunt llettie war really Tery poor when she was young, and she drea '.s poverty for us; she hon estly thinks sLe is acting for my good in fiving the cold shoulder to Frank Carroll because he is a poor young book-keei er. while this Mariscai has heaps of money and fine estates in Mexico; At first 1 really did believe that his reputed fortune and position were all humbug; but now that auntie's inquiries have proved him to be all he pretend to be, I am not quite so un civil to him as 1 wa at tint" (hat Mr. Mariscai intends to propose right off. 1 judge so from a word or two he said to uncle to-night, just bn- ft. l..ft n I hicr4 ,in.lA . ff my w ife were here he could answer you better than 1; I will tell her about it when she returns from the party she las gone to, and she will write you to morrow.' To what but a proposal could he have referred?" Well. I will not marry him!" ex claimed Lilias determinedly. ''I'll say no' right at the aitcr first; I'll elope with Frank tirst!'' If you marry against auntie's wishes remember you forfeit all vour share of the money, and Frnuk is not rich," an swered Minnie, warninjrly. "Oh, dear, so I do; well, I am in a fix! Come, let's go to bed and try to dream of some way of softening auntie's heart," said Lilias, wearily, com mencing to undress. "Why, whore's my watch? I do W'ieve I left it on the library table, and lam in my bare feet Minnie do you mind going dowa for It?" ' 88 Not she! Neither of tho girls was one bit timid, so Minn e, who had not begun to undress, ran to tho library fur the watch. She was gone some min utes, and Lilias was just beginning to be alarmed about her when she. re turned, apologizing for her delay, say tng that the evening paper had caught her eye; and she paused long enough to ivadbver tho death and marriages Jut a any girl would. Tho next morning Mrs. Arbuthnot said calmly, as if she was saying noth ing at all odd: "l will want vou to go into the city with me by and -by, Lilias, to select some new bonnets and dros.st.-s; we may as well Ugin to prepare for your wed d.ng." . -For my wedding?" gaped Lil;a in surpr m Certainly; you must know that Mr. Mariscai has been serious in the atten tions he has beou paying to you these hist three mouths; your manner to him has been sueh that 1 considered that he and I and everyone are justified. in tak ing it for granted that you ure ready to become his w i.e. The wedding must lake place quite soon, for he told my husband hvt night that some matters concern tig his Mexican estates make it necessary for him to return home within a month, and hedesites to take his wife with him." Keally, auntie, I think he might give me a little say in the matter. ' cried Lilias in vexat on; tut said no more be causo Minnie trod on her foot in a Tery significant way, and gave her a wick ahieh certainly meant keep quiet" Lilias understood all her sister ssignala, for Minuie, though the younger, had much more discretion and acuteness than impulsive Lil.as. Kxaclly what rlaa Minnie now had she could not Imsg ne, still she thought she would not spoil it by saying too much. buy yoar clothes and don't contra dict auntie," sa d Minnie, ly the deaf-wad-dumb alphabet; their aunt was not lnck;ng her way. "Vou ahmld remember it is not the niom in hi country for a young man j speak of his intentions to any firl until her guardians hare been consulted ai.d have given their enproval to his proposal; so like a well-ored Mexican, he has come to me and obtained my opinion about his suit," replied Mrs. Arbuthnot. And of course you can not go back of votirword?" suggested Minnie, in sinuatingly. M st certainly not I shall abide by what I have written to Mr. Mariscai and Frank Carroll; if they are not suite.! with what I wrote I can not help it I will abide by my decision, and so I h:ve told your uncle Arbuthnot so in case I do not tret home from my trip to Paris before the very latest date set in my letter, the wedding must go on without me or else you, Lilias, will be a pau per." Lilias is so impulsive, you know. Annt llettie, that I do wish you would write that down so she will not forget," suggested Minnie, handing a sheet of paer to Mrs. ArDuuinot, ana wen withdrawing it adding: "Suppose I write it and let von sign it as you say your eyes trouble you to-day? "Do so, ray dear; my eyes are very bad to-dav; but for them I would post pone my journey until later in the sea son." So Minnie wrote: "I intend to adhere sirctly and literally to the terms in which' I yesterday wrote to Mr. Mariscai and Frank Carroll; if they we not suit ed with what I wrote I can't help it. I will abde by that decision." And to this Mrs. Arbuthnot appended hr name and the date. Somewhat to Mrs. Ar buthnot's surprise, none ot the famih saw anv thing of Mr. Mariscai all thf day; and she had to start that night New York, whence she was to sa 1 for Paris without seeing him aga'n. Early the next morning there came to the houe. not Mr. Mariscai, but Frank Carroll, who, to Lilias' intense amaiw-irn-nt greeted her as if he were her ac c pted lover. As soon as she could tie so that is as soon as she could make up her mind to do so she w thdrew from his enfoldiug arms and exclaimed: "Why Frank! llow courageou yon are, to venture here in such an assured manner, alter what Aunt llettie wrote to you!" Courageous?" he repeated. "I don't understand you; it is because I received her card that I am here now. I must own that I was a little surprised when 1 real it though." "What could she have said to yon?" asked Lilias in amazement &U1L Here it is read it for yourself; I only got it this morning, having been away on bus.ness, or I'd have been here last evening," he answered, banding a postal card to Lil.as. Mrs. Arbuthnot was one of those peo ple who use a postal card for any or all purposes: she had a perfect man's for them, and could not be persuaded not to write the most confidential things upon them, so Lilias was not at all sur prised that she had written her com munications to the two young mm on these cards though most people prefer to send sueh missives in a sea'ed en velope. She read: "So sorry that I can not see yon to night, I write in haste and confusion to say that I am more than willing that you should marry Lilias, and f trust that she will anprec'ate the compliment you have paid her from her past treat ment of you I am sure she will. At any ate, it is mv desire that she marry you and no one else, on pain of my anger." To this was appended he name and the datof the prece ling day. Lilias was mystified, Frank jubilant, Mr. Arbuthnot mildly pu.lod but ac quiescent, and Minnie sm ling but silent When Mr. Arbuthnot told Frank that his wife had sad something about hav ing L lias marr ed with n a month, even though she went away, and when Lil as nd Minnie agreed with h'm, he was only too glad to aid in carrying out her expressed wishes: so the wedding dress s were made up in a hurry, and in exactly a month aft- r the date of her card to Frank, Mrs. Arbuthnot' s older wan! was married to her true love. An hour or so after the wedding, Mmn:e said carelessly to Ldias: "Did vou ever hear any more of Mr. Marscai's desire to nmrfy you?" Hless me, no! 1 had entirely for eotten the man! Whv, sure enough, d dn't auntie say she had accepted his offer and -what are you laughing at, Minnie?" said Lilias, "Do you remember the night I went down to the library to get your watch, and you wanted "to know why I was gone so long? ' I said I had paused to read the deaths and marriages in the paper; well, that was true, but there lay on the library table two postal cards, in auntie's own writing, address! to your two lovers. I picked them up and read tlu-ra now don't frown, postals are not private! I found that she had evidently made a nrstake in addressing them, for the one bearin Mr. Mar seal's uame was a Tery blunt re.iiet for h in to keep away from you: the other Frank has shown you. I was so afraid that she would find out her mistake before she went abroad that I jiM owned the trout door and ran out and mailed them." Such was indeed the case. What, would otherwise have been Mrs. Ar-i buthnot's wrath at Minnie's hate to ma t the nusdirecU'd cards no one knows but as she chanced, almost as soon as sho arrived in Paris to learn that Mar'stal was already privately married, she never in any way referred to the matter, and as Frank made the best of husbands she soon forgot that she had ever b-en opposed to the match.

"I have heard sa" "Yes; there were lots of deer and ducks and squirrel.

White fish have been pretty well cleaned ut of the lake. i "Out where Fitch lived I saw a man shoot four rabbits with a rifle at one shot, and down at Presque Isle a man shot eleven wild ducks at one shot You see he got their heads in line and clipped the whole eleven of them as easy as roll ing off a log." , "That" was doing pretty well," seg-gesti-d the scribe, "Yes fairly well, but not as well as old man Odeon did.

Tunes. AN HOUR OF TERROR." Bow G't Boarder Canaea latetue Ee.tiot la liaan-tioaiw When he bad been there one week the boarding-house keeper said that he was one of, the nicest quietest young men she had ever had in her house, Hehad bo complaints to make at the table, and be left his room so slick and clean that the chambermaid bad suspicions that he was a woman in disguise. At the end of a month, rather than have him go, ih hinJladr would have arrecd to pur chase porterhouse steak once a week, and to replace the old rug in his room with a new one costing fifty cents. The other night however, her enthusiasm received a set-back. One of the board ers came down sttirs and reported that Le had heard groan.' and sifbs and curses from the quiet boarder's room Three or four people tip-toed up. and after a bit they plainly caught his words: Ouch! Hang it! Condemn it to Hali fax, but it's killing me by inches!" , Then it was realized that the quiet man had some great sorrow on his mind, and it wa suspected that be was contemplating suicide. "Ooh!" he called out, "great heaTens. but how I suffer! Whv was I such a fool as to follow that villain's advice?" lie had probablv taken poison, or wa trying to drive a darning-needle to h: heart The landlady thought of the coroner's inquest, the" item in the papers and the question the reporters would ask, and ihe frrew frantic. - "Hev.

"Noth;ng!" came the solemn anwer. but as she put her car to the key-hole she heard soft groans and a vh spered voice saying: "It's got to be done at any cost!" -Mr. Smith," she confined, "don't tou dare commit suicide in my hou-c! If vou do I'll have you sent to jail for a year! It wasn't six months ago that a woman tr'ed to poison herself to deatti in that very room, and I haven't got over the fright yet Say, you!" "Well." came the faint reply. ' "Have vou taken po.son? No." " There was an interval of 6ilence while she put her ear to the kev-hole again, and pretty .soon she heard the boarder gallop np and down and bias between his clenched teeth: Great Scots 1 but was mortal man ever called upon to suffer as I do?" "Say !" she whispered, as she turned to the boarders, "thisc'oor has got to be broken down without delay, r.

Mr. Green, kick open the door !" "If Green is there I'll let him in," an nounced Smith, ami he opened a crevice just large enough to squeeze in. Then came a whispered consultation, followed by shouts of pain and terror, and Green came to the door with an ob ject in his band, and calmly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it was simply a case of pulling oil' a porous plaster which he bad worn for six weeks. Please forgive him, for he'll never do so again." Detroit Free Pros. JOHN BRIGHT. Biographical Information Not Contained In Any Tvpular 'Encyclopaedia. John Bright was born in 1811. He made a tour of the Holy Land at the age of twenty-four, but did not decide to purchase it owing to tho existence of a flaw in the title. He . next began to invent things On his return from the Orient, he discovered that what was most needed in both Europe and America was a good, reliable disease for the use of the better classes. The poor and humble were well supplied, but the rich, the aristocratic and patr can states men, corned heads and porkists ot the two lands languished for a good, relia ble d. sea.se that poor people could not obtain. So he began to sit up nights and perfect Blight's disease. He gained the prize at the Paris exposition and honorable mention at the great centen nial celebration at Philadelphia ."for meritorious and eflectve diseases for the better classes." Since that time he has been gratified to notice that the Tery bet people, both in his own land and in th s are handling Blight's dis ease. It has been kept out of the reach of the poor, and to die from this ailment has been regarded as a proud di-tnetion. Mr. Bright has all the time attracted attention as a good, fluent public speaker, and the author of a volume called "Speccbp on Public Questions" puUlished in liS. Whether he succeed in fecnrjig a large monument or not, it is thought he will never be forgotten," fox wherever the English languish is spoken, Briht's celebrated d'sca.e is known and re peetel It is said that he once stated La a public speech that he car?d not who made the laws for a nation if he ould invent its diseases.

"It was back some years ago, and we was making the voyage from Liverpool to China around the Horn," said a sailor toarepor er. "We'd bad a heap of trouble with the men; they all got down on the old man and left at Rio and we got in a lot of greenhorn Portagees there what didn't know the bobs t ay from the gig'a tiller-ropes Howsom ever, it was take 'em or stay, so we took the chances and went, and what with their mistakin' ropes in the day-time and never bein' able to tind'era at all at night, it mado it mighty lively for the three ' Americans aboard. But bv special visitation o' Providence, luck 1 calls it, we sot 'round the Cape, and every thing went snug until one night I was at the helm; there was a fair breeze a-blowin' an' not a cloud over head. There bad been a little sea in, but about six bells it kind of fell off and let up all to once, and the ship kind of refun d to answer the helm. I reported It to the skipper, and up ho comes on deck. Every sail was full and draw in', even to the topgallant stun sails, and she was keeled over as a ship is what is under a six-knot breeze; but so help me, I don't believe she was movin' at all. The old man tumbled to it too, and sas he to me: 'There's something kind o curious about this; but don't let on to' them niggers for'ard.' lie hadu'tmore than got the words out of hi mouth when the yellow devil came aft in a body and began to jabber away, pointm' up' to the sails full, and then to the water, makin' the sign of the crews and goin" on at a rate what was n nigh to set xou crazy. They sras ju.t scared to death; they see the ship under full sail, and they'd found out she wasn't movin'; that was the amount of it "The skipper was a man of few words and he grabied np a marline sp.ke and went for 'em and thev got t ack for'ard. Then the old man ordered away the dingey. I'd had the helm down all the time, and by slacking the head s.-t'ls and brailing up the foretop sail had got the ship up into the wind, and when the dingey was lowered I went down in her. and soon as I struck water I see what was the matter. We were stuck in a bed of sea-weed what was about as solid as any tbingyoa ever saw. I sent an oar down into it, and couldn't reach bottom, and then, takin' a bunch into the dingey, I gave the "vord and was hauled up to the davita again, and d'ye know it didn't help things at all. The Portagees were scared mor n ever, and said we'd never git out and one of era spun a long yarn about a schooner on the Atlan tic coast of South America what run into I bed. and all hand starved to death and were found there by a steamer. I knew that we were all right as long as we had any kind of wind, but it took u an hour to git her under way azain, and by morning the wind had all gone down, and there we lay jest as if we'd been drydocked; as far as you could see from the topmasthead there wa nothing but a spread of sea weed, jest as if you sunk ty ship up to the water-line in a swamp, jest flooded so that the gTass jest showed above the water; that's the way it looked for all the world, and I'm tellin' you the facts when 1 say it wsn' n " cheerful 'out look. If there hadn't come a wind we'd have Deen there yet: a it was we lay there for twelve hours waitin' for a breeze. I ut none came, and then the skipper ordered out boats and we took grapplin' irons and hauled the weed away from the front of the ship, and then got a hawser and towed her ahead. We d d that for twelve hours and made four ship lengths and then the men seem' it was no use give it np, and be tween you and me I didn't ilame 'em. So the skipper, alter cussin' and swear in, and blowin' things up bill and down dale, ordered the ship swung 'round. That took about four hours, and then we lay foiSiX more, when, as luck would have it, it began to blow. We crammed every th ng on her, and in about live hour more we struck bhie water glad enough, too; but it's a fact we had to go out of our way a matter of two hundred miles in heating round the patch. ' "llow thick do you think it was?" asked the old sailor. "Well, in the place we hauled it awav 1 dropped a lead down, and I reckoned that the miss was twenty foot deep, and by this tine that ere tioatin' island is solid laid. Well, that was a cur ous experience, so to speak, but about six mouth after I found myself down by the Falkland Islands. It came on to blow, and the skipper ran in under the lee of one of the islands and I gave the order to git out tne anchor, but the old man sings out to belay. ;it out a grapplin' iron!' says he; so I got one out all h nds Is d on. and in about ten minutes we had a Tine of sea-weed on deck as big as a man's U s. and Heaven only knows how long. D'ye know, we lasbed it to the cat-head, and the ship swung to it for a moorings and by ir we laid out the gale. We were in tiftv fathoms at the time, so that sea-weed rope was three hundred feet long. If you kin beat that for sea-weed. I want to know where." San Francisco CalL Logical Demonstration.
