She Looks After the Welfare of thd Unfortunate JEronaut A balloon descended one day In the cornfield of a krmer on the banks of the Ohio, In that region of Southern Illinois locally known as "Kfrypt." The mronout, a alight, aoriou-looktn& young (jentloman with sptMiUcles, ex tricated himself from the balloon Just at the farmer came running from the next field to the scene of the descent. "Kcckonyou lit suddln, didn't you?" said the farmer, "tilad to see you, sir, on my property, though folks does gener'ly come In by the front yard when they're comp'ny. Much shook up, do you find?" "No, I thank you," said the balloon 1st, "I'm very comfortable. When I saw the 'chute was bound to come down anyway, I steered for a cornfield. It't lucky you didn't have the river run through this Held." "You moiight have got seme wet, that's a fact," said our farmer with an appreciative grin. "Sphinxy says the Nllo don't neverdrown folks." "Sphinxy? Tho Nilo? Where ami anyway?" "In Kgypt" "In Egypt! Impossible. Why, I only loft Cincinnati day before yesterday!" "Yet here you be, said the farmer. "My name's Shelby, and my folks will be tickled to death to have a ballooner to dinner. They's yellow-legged chicken fried, toe, to-day. I see Sphinxy and her ma fixing it when 1 was to the pump, a spell ago." "Hut what do you mean aliout the Nile?" persisted the stranger. "My name Is Sewall, and I'll be much obliged for a dinner, but I don't under stand. That's the Ohio river, and I must surely have como down 111 Illi nois." "Sh ucks, now," laughed the farmer. "Reckon you've lost your bearings, ca roering and shassaylng up 'round In the clouds In that machine o' yourn. In Egypt you lie, and I reckon you won't And a pearter section of country nowhur you'll look for It, Come on In. and have some dinner. 'Taint dlnner-timo for half an hour, but I reckon you'll want to rest up some, before you explain your star-cart to an old fellow like me." "Oh no, Mr. Shelby," said Mr. Sewall, "your hospitality shan't run away with your curiosity In that way. Let us spend the half-hour with the balloon. I'll tie delighted to tell you any thing I can aliout iu They were still looking at the balloon and talking It over when a tall, young girl, wearing a green gingham sunbon net and a freshly-starched pink calico frock, came out across the corn-Held from tho farm-hoiiso. She walked up to her father' and, without looking at the balloon or the balloonist, said: "Paw, come to dinnor. Maw says its spiling powerful fast for lack of eating." Then she turned and walked away to ward the house. "That's Sphinxy," said her father, In a tone 01 pride. ".Most women ioiks would have stood around and pestered us to death asking questions: 'What is that?' ilowdid it get hero?' and all the like of that. Hut Sphinxy, if you notice, 'tends strictly to her own busi ness. 'Paw, says she to me, 'come to dinner,' says she. That's enough for Snhinxv. and no questions aked. Its always her way. "Why, oust they was a cyclone come sudden ono night; first ono over heard of In this part of the country. Sphinxy, she was milking the speckled cow when it struck the milklng-shod. It took the cow and her both right up, whirled 'em round and whisked 'era oft and landed 'em both on that thur Island out yander In the river. I had to fetch 'em both off In a flat-boat. "Sphinxy scared? Not a bit of it! " i'aw,' suld she, 'I'm sorry I spilt all that good fresh milk,' says she, 'hut it don't seem to be Specklo's fault no more nor mine,' says she. Never asked once what struck her. No, Sphinxy never asks no questions. Said afterward she knew the Nile wouldn't drownd no bodyV' "Do you really call the Ohio the Nile down in this Egypt?" asked Mr. SewalL "I remember now hearing that South ern Illinois is Egypt" "Shucks, now, you're getting your wits back, aint you?" laughed Mr. Shel by, as they walked toward the farm house. "We call It the Nilo here on our farm. Well, 'this Is the land 0' corn and wine,' and they alnt no tailor corn than mine." Mrs. Shelby tat down to the dinner table with her husband and their guest, w hom she welcomed cordially, and con cerning w hose adventures sho asked a hundred questions. She waa a small, sallow, vivacous woman, and Mr. Sewell had scarcely a chance to answer halt her questions, so rapidly were they show ered upon him. Sphinxy meanwhile, still wearing her green gingham tunbonnet, waited upon the table. She sliced a cucumber fresh from its cooling In a pall ot cold well water, filled Mr. Sewall'a glass with milk, and brought him a piece of pie. Still he had not teen the face of the girl with the extraordinary name. She was hidden from observation by her sunbonneL Her figure was slender, and not un graceful in her clean pink frock, her hands were singularly nice hands for a girl who washed dishes three times-a Say. After dinner Mr. Sewell sat upon Oil piaua with his host and hMtesa fot half an hour while the daughter cleared away the dinner thing. They could hear the rattle of dishes in the kitchen, but no sound of Sphlnxy'a voice. .' Mr. Sewall asked after awhile bow fat It was to the railroad station, "It's a matter ot seven miles, said Mrs. Shelby. "Be yon going right back to Cincinnati with your balloon?" ! "I think I shall. It't badly out ol rear." said Mr. Sewell. "I thall know how to arrange it in better shape next time. "And you think yoa must be leaving us right off? Thai's bs bad," said Mr. Shelby. "Well.

I "Paw," said she, "tho cat's fell dow n j the windless Into tlie wen. me mo. .-.. off and tho cut's squalling " Mr. Slielbv disappeared in great ex citement, followed by Mrs. Shelby. Sphinxy turned to Mr. Sewall, looked at hlra with a frank smile, then ran out to the well to aid In rescuing tho cat whoso accident she had announced with much calmness as she had announced dinner, in the usual and unexpected presence of a balloon and a balloonist Mr. Sewall had smiled in return. Her look bad expressed tho most In tonse admiration. It was evident that the descent of tho balloon and the ap pearance of tun young stranger at din ner had touched Sphlnxy's Imagination. Mr. Shelby was clambering down tho stones within the well-shaft when his visitor reached the curb. It was a porllous descent and a still more slip pery ascent after he had sent the drenched cat up in the rescued bucket. At six o'clock Mr. Shelby brought a rickety old buggy and a lean horso to the front gate, called "Hello the house!" and announced his readiness to take a passenger to town. Mr. rvwall, who had spent most of the afternoon In a sound sleep on the loungo In Mrs. Shelby's best parlor, making up for sleep lost while In tho clouds, came, out refreshed and ready to go. They were to drive to the cornfield fence and take up the broken balloon. Mrs. Shelby shook hands heartily, and stood on tlie piazza smiling and speeding tho part ing guest. Sphinxy came around the corner of the house, and walked across tho grass to Mr. Sewall. Half-way down the front yard, midway between her father at the gate and her mother on the steps, she stopped bcHido him. Sho had left off her tunltonni't, and he saw a bright, girlish faco She held out a small parcel. "You might need It. Tlon't open It till you get to town," said sho, blush ing with timidity. Then befoio ho could thank her or say good-bye sho had put the parcel Into his hands and had run away. Her pink frock whisked out of sight around the corner of the bouse directly. "What did Sphinxy present you with?" asked Mr. Shelby, as his guest got into the buggy bosido him, looking at the parcel with much curiosity. "She said I'm not to open It till we get to the town," replied Mr. Sewall. "It was verv kind of her, I'm sure, whatever It is." "Sphlnxy's a girl of few words. Never spoke to you at all till you was leaving, did she?" said Mr. Shelby, touching the lean horse with his hickory twitch. "Not once," answered Mr. Sewall. At the railway station in tho village he opened tho parcel containing Sphlnxy's gift H was a little old faded red silk purso, netted in an old-fashioned form, and gleaming through it Mr. Sewall could bco two gold pieces. "Why, this Is "very kind of your daughter!" lie exclaimed, astonished, "but really I can't accept her money. The purse looks liko a keepsake, a treasure of her own, too!" "It is. It belonged to her grand mother, who left it to her when she died, with them two five dollars." said Mr. Shelby, in low tones of much sym pathy and tenderness. "Sphinxy thinks the world and nil of that money. I reckon she thought, being as you'd conic by balloon, going home by train with car fares to pay and so on might come a little awkward to you." "Hut you will take It back to her, and explain that I have more than enough to pay my fair to Cincinnati, won't you?" said Mr. Sewall. "And toll her how much I thank her. She Is very good and thoughtful." "Sphinxy Is a good girl," said her father, "and she's ono that's wonderful set in her own way, two. 1 don't think," be added, thoughtfully shaking his head, "1 don't think sho would, to say, really stand it if I should take tho purso back to her. No." ho said, with determination, "I can't take it buck to Sphinxy, Mr. Sewall. She'd take on and cry if I should do such n ,hing. I know just how that girl thinks, though she never says much. "She always feels as though nothing's too good for any body that comes to see us, and when any body come:, so to say, right out of the sky, her granny's pres ent's got to go, or Sphinxy wouldn't be Sphinxy. She has had some notion of saving up her chicken and egg money to put with it and buy her a melodeum, but laws! sho'll never do it She'll just spend all she gets along, for pink calico dresses for every day and white Swiss for Suudays, and there that purse '11 lie in her trunk. Take it along, Mr. Sewall, tako It along, do. I really couldn't tako it back to her, nohow." "Well," said Mr. Sewall, reluctantly: then, as a thought camo Into his mind, he smiled, and put it' carefully into his large pocket-book. "How did you happen to name your daughter Sphinxy?" he asked. "Oivi her my bet thanks, won't you? It's a odd name." "Yea, rather odd," admitted Mr. Shel by. "Hut I noticed when she was a little bit of a slip of a thing that she never asked no questions the w ay hei mother does. Perhaps you noticed Mis' Shelby's way. 'She's a powerful pood woman, niy wife is, but she can't never seem to stop asking questions and my girl's just the other way. "We named her Maria when she wai a baby, but when she was about three years old a man come through these parts peddling reaping-machines, lie staid to my place over night and he told me that he heard sav that in the early original Egypt back there in the Id country, there was a race of women what never asked no question, "Now them women is called sphinxies. and I says to my wife right oft we'd name our little girl that 'If she'll grow up to be one of them kind of wom en,' says I, that's the best kind ot luck I can wish to her husband when she frown np.' "My wife say Oh! there's your train, Mr. Sewall. Cot your check all right for Chat balloon? rd!

From tho window he saw the tall figura In blue jeans, the kindly, smiling face, the gesture of affectionate farewell. About a fortnight later, tho young B-ronaut whose regular occupation in life was In a large Cincinnati banking house, where he held a responsible posi tion, received a letter, which he put away, after readlng.wlth two gold pieces In a faded silk purse. It was writ ten on blue-ruled paper with pale Ink and signs of a spluttering pen, but It seemed to please Mr. Sewall verv much as he read It This was tho letter: Iikar SIB Vour letter ciinie duly to hand, also the box with tho music liistruiiiem iy frute, which I took home and unloaded, an, set It up In the purler bi-foru my w Kb and Sphinxy sen me.

Ills Latest Achievement Even Grander Than 111 Mrst Nneccsses. In the history of exploration and ad venture few things are more memorable than the dispatch lately received from Stanley, announcing that he and Emln Pasha are well advanced upon their journey to tho east coast of Africa. It is almost a quarter of a century since, to the amazement and admiration ot the yorld, a man previously unknown un dertook to find Livingstone, and found him. Of the career thus begun it was fitting crown that Stanley should deter mine to rescuo Emln, and should tri umphantly fulfill his purpose. We had learned from former dis patches that when Stanley, aftur accom plishing the long and dilllcult ascent of tho Congo and one of Its main allluents, first encountered Emln Pasha, tho lat ter was unwilling to forsake tho equa torial province which his self-devotion had carved out of the heart of Africa. Although cut off from Europe by tho capture of Khartoum, Emln l'aslu continued faithfully to humanize and civilize tho peoplo committed to his euro, and ho hud up to that time suc ceeded In protecting them from Mahdlst aggression. Should he abandon theni, he knew that they would speedily ro lapso Into savagery and be anew sub jected to slave-hunting devastation. He would stay at his post, thereforo so ho told Stanley as long as thoro was work for him to do. It is fortunate that Stanley did not take the man, whom he had como to rescue, at his word. Had he dono so, and returned to Europo by way of the Congo, we now know that Kmin must have Bhared tho fate of UordoH. He re traced his stops, however, only as far ai the place where ho had left a large de posit of arms and ammunition with bis rear guard. Onco possessed of these re sources, Stanley hastened back to the last surviving representative of the Khedivo's authority In Central Africa, but found that In his ahsonco Emln had been mado a prisoner by some of his own men, and that the forociom Mahdists were advancing up the Nile. From tho tneagor nows thus far forth coming, we know not what measures wero taken for the liberation and es cape of tho heroic Governor. Hut tlia measures must havo been effectual; .Mr. Herbert Ward, who was for several years Stanley's companion In Africa, has no doubt of the correctness of the Information. Hoth rescuer and rescued deserve ti c homage of the world. The high aim of Emin's self-consecrating labors and the brilliant gallantry of Stanley's achieve ment will shine forth on tho dark back ground to which, it Is too probable, the heart of Africa is now condemned fot many years.
