MY FRIEND EDITH.
CIlAlTKK I.
I hnvo been nccustomod for somo
time, lonjor than I caro to remember,
to tlcscriuo myself as u man of midrilo
age, yet peoplo speak of me as un old
bachelor, sometimes .In derision, but
frcmiontly, I fancy with onvy.
x os, I am a bachelor the adjoctivo
I consider unnecessary rather by mis
chance than anything else, for I novor
started on life with any intentions of
celibacy, or when young asserted my
solf nggrcsslvoly on the subject.
Ah. nil might havo been very differ
ent if but that has nothing to do with
tho story. At all ovonts I am n bache
lor now, and intend to remain one.
My well tho physical disadvantages
which tlmo has Drought 11 tendency to
embonpoint, and moro than partial
baldness although allies, uro scarcely
sufllclent protection, for I continually
boo such iicnodicts us mysolf striking
their color and falling victims, mellow
and overrlpo. or even withered and
gray ones, to brisk widows and bright
oyed mulds hardly out of their teens.
Jiut I am made' of Htcmor stulf; and
having been exposed for I am it man
of property to sovoral severe tests,
and having como off unscathed from
tho encounter, I mav justly concluda
that my heart is cupld-prooi, and ho I
journey on in midule-agod meditation
"fancy free." i am suto I could havo
made one woman happy, If I had tho
chanco, but I never ufu. It Is too lato
now, so I must bo content with making
mysolf happy, n thing not so easy as it
looks, for this work-a-day world is full
of briars, even for old bachelors. It is
fortunato that I havo no incumbrances,
for my nerves uro not strong; tlio least
bother Interferes with my digestion,
although, if peoplo will lot mo ulone, I
um poptlc enough. I havo only ono
relative in tho world a nophuw, my
poor sister's only sou. 1'oorsoull how
bIio used to dote upon tho boy I Hut slio
died suddenly, and her pension with
her, no I found myself the natural
guardian of u bright handsome young
lellow, but us Impetuous anil suit
willed as a loving mother could inulco
him. I had no dcslro to avoid tho
responsibility, for I um the lost man in
tho world to shirk u duty and besides
I folt great nITcctiou for lilm; never
theless wo managed to quarrel, al
though It was certainly not my fault.
Wo got on together remarkably well
for somo time, until I ducided l must
get him something to do, anil natural
ly with my experience I was the fittest
judge of what was best for him. A io
murkublo good opening was utroiod mu
for Charlie that's the boy's name In
tho odlco of uu eminent linn of solici
tors. I mado tho arrangements with
out onsultiug my nophuw, thinking it
would bo a ploasant surprise to him: but
such is the perversity of youth that bo
actually scoffed tit tho idea declaring
that ho would rather enlist for a soldier
than perch himself on an ofllco-stool.
I was very much disgusted, for I had
boon praising tho young man's zeal and
nptltudo to tho partners In prophotic
terms. Now, Charlie has been dab
bling in art in an amatourlsh way for
noma tlmo, and although I could soo be
had talent for I am a man of artistic
discernment ho had uuver loarnod to
draw correctly.
Thon what the doucn do you Intend
to do for a livlngT said 1 angrily.
"I mean to tako to art, said bo,
blushing a little.
"Art lndeedl cried I sarcastically;
you don't call those confounded daubs
of yours nrtl"
"Hardly yet," said he, gottlug roddor,
"but I hopo to."
"Do you expect peoplo will bo fools
enough to buy any plcturo you're likely
to nudity
"I'll wait and soo," said ho, "at any
ruto, I'd rather bo ti bad artist than u
bad attorney. At least 1 can't choat
unybody."
iVot unless you llnd somo ono groon
enough to buy ono of your nlcturt's," I
answered, "and that's not likely."
Tho dispute at this point becomos n
llttlo Indistinct. I was exceedingly
angry anil sufforlug from n slight at
tack of gout. I fancy, howovor, 1 told
Charlie no might go to tho deuce for
aught I cared, and ho scemod to tako
mo at my word, for ho loft tho bouso
and I have not hooii him since.
1 havo leained, however, that bo bus
been earning a precarious livelihood by
giving drawing lessons, and um told ho
declaies ho would rather go to tho
workhouse than bo a burden on his rel
ative, Strange he should speak of mo
In the plural! How disrespectful it
sounds!
It is two years ago that he bus loft
mo. Often I see my sister's eyes look
ing ut mo reproachfully, and now wil
lingly would I kill tho fatted calf for
the prodigal If ho would glvu mu u
chance.
Why cannot tho boy put bis pride In
bis pocket anil ink mo to forglvo blmV
CIIAl'l'KU u.
It was tho delightful Juno weather
that tempted mu to tako u cottage on
tho river. 1 am, moreover, fond of
canoeing, and tho owner of ncauooof
greater width and stability than such
crafts usually jKmoss. It may bu that
1 do look an odd tlguro us 1 sit in my
small bark, clad In white Hanucl anil
crowned with u largo straw hat, but
tho beuellt my hualth and temper do
rlvo from this oxhllerutlug amusement
more than compensate for tho plebeian
raillery 1 meut with. It was to avoid
boats manned by Incompetent and
hoarse-voiced crows of vulgar cockneys
thut'ouo beautllul afternoon I paddled
my canoe up a small ti Unitary, whoso
windings anil shallow protected it
against tho inroads of larger eratt. In
tho meadows on either side 1 could
hear the sweep of tho seythu and smell
tho new-mown hay. It was such it day
us ono should store In the colls of one's
memory to- tho Winter as u bee stores
honey. I paddled myself about for a
long tlmo in peaceful enjoyment,
watching tho swallows or klugllshers
us thuy ilashed through the sunbeams
that slanted through the nickering
leaves. After u whllo turning my
canoe, 1 let mvself drift down with thu
stream, guiding myself ut luturvuls
with a vigorous stroke of my puddle,
llluck cmo hud no place beside mo that
day, and I was deep In u midsummer's
day dream when all ut onco a violent
shock, followed by a little scream, re
called mo to myself and checked my
absent career. 1 was jerked uiicom
fortubly forward ami my hat ahakeu
over my eyes. To my dismay I found
that 1 hud run right into a young lady
as I rounded tho curve whore, tho cur
rent run swiftly, who, with her canoe
motionless hi a thick arowth of. weeds.
was reading, nan: concealed Dy we
boughs of a weeping willow. Her book
fell into the water; her canoe, driven
closer to tho bunk by the collision,
? rounded, mid my own shared thusama
ate among the tuick weeds.
"Oh, my poorbookl" exclaimed she.
before 1 had sufllcicntly recovered
from my confusion to apologize.
"I beg you a thousand pardors," J
stammered, pouring a little stream of
water over her druss iroin my puddle
in my agitation, "but I didn't see you."
"Oh. it can't bo helped," said she
good-naturedly. "Perhaps you'll be
kind enough to pick out my book."
She turned toward mo and I saw her
faco was an exceedingly pretty ono,
with exprcsslvo gray eyes, soft brown
hair, delicate features, and checks
flushed with the confusion my awk
wardness had caused. Slio seemed
much moro inclined to laugh than to
bo angry, and I hnvo no doubt my
faco showed a curious mixture of
Bhamo and astonishment.
I took tho book from tho wator, and
after a vain attempt to dry its sodden
patron, handed it to tho owner.
Shelley," exclaimed I, reading the
titlo.
"Yes," said slio. "It has met with
tho sumo fato as its poor author."
Slio glanced nt It with a comical llttlo
expression of sorrow.
''Von aro much kinder than I do
serve." said I, still feeling red mid
foolish; "tho only way I can mako
amends Is by helping you off."
"Hadn't you better got oft yourself
flrsty alio answered laughing.
So I commenced a violent strugglo
with my puddlo. vainly splashing tho
water liko a wild gooso with a broken
whig, but unablo to budgo an Inch.
Mr companion in misfortune fully
appreciated tho absurdity of tho spec
tacle, burst into a fit of laughlor,
which slio strovo in vain to check.
"I am glad," said I, as I paused for
want of breath, "that I afford you somo
amusomont."
"It Is ho funny that I can't help it,"
said she.
"l'ruy don't try on my account," said
I magnanimously; "I am quite awaro I
owo you somo compensation."
At this point there was a rustling in
tho bushes; a big black dog appeared,
and, descending to tho water's edge,
began to bark joyously.
Horo's Hector," said sho, "thon Ber
tie's not far off."
I inwardly bopod Uortlo might not
bo n young man Inclined to glvu him
solf airs.
As sho spoko tho owner of tho dog
stepped from behind tho bushes. Ho
was a uico-Iooking boy of about twelve,
whom I guested to bu her brother.
"Hullo, J'MlthV" hu oxcltilmod,
"what's tho row."
Then porcolvlng tho nnturo of our di
lemma ho began to laugh.
"Don't stand laughing there, you
foolish boy," said sho, but push us
off."
So ho guvo us ench n vigorous push,
and oil wo wont down tho stream to
gether, chatting amicably, until a few
yards further wo reached u privato
lauding place nt tho edgo of a smooth
lawn. lioyond, through tho leaves,
wore glimpses of a pretty houso of old
red brick. A man rolling tho lawn
camu to help Edith to disembark a
wrinkled old fellow who seemed to
watch mo with suspicion.
I returned her kind llttlo bow by
raising my hat with dlfllculty for all
salutations from a cuuoo uro difficult
and remained n moment watching her
until shu disappeared behind thu laurel
bushes on her way to tho house. "I
bad tho misfortune to run into thu
young lady," said I to thu man.
"So I sees," said ho."
"Who lives thoror" I iuqulrod with u
nod toward tho houso.
"Mrs. Lyoll."
"Tho young lady Is Miss Lyall, then?
"Yes.11
Wo looked at 0119 auothor for n mo
ment. 1 wanted to ask some moro
questions, but evidently thu grim
visugod gurdoucr did not intend to
gratify my curiosity.
"This 'ero 's privato waters," ho ro
marked; "that's your wuy."
"Very good," said I, "I'vo 110 wish to
trespass."
bo 1 paiiiueu 1101110 inuiKing nuout
my now acquaintance.
Mv boatman. In 111
boatman, hi answer to my In-
qulriea, told 1110 that Mrs. Lyull was u
wlilow and hud two children.
"Tho young lady Is 11 stunner," be
observed emphatically.
"Sho is a very charming young lady,
If you mean that," said I, majestically,
to reprove his familiarity.
"That's jes' what I do meitn, Sir, an'
110 offense," said ho, apologetically.
Thou I went homo to dinner.
CHAITKU 111.
From tho day of our meeting, Miss
Lyall began to till u great part of my
thoughts. I am a man of taste, mid
ndiniro graco and beauty, simply from
un urtistie point of view, but not In the
least like somo young men who aro con
tinually wondering what sort of im
pression they uro making. I am old
enough not to expect 11 woman to form
n romantic attachment to 1110, although
1 seo no reason why their society should
not amuse 1110. In fact, I prefer it to
that of my own sex when they aro
young nud interesting, principally,
perhaps, because they rarely contradict
ono Yudely or Interrupt a man when bo
Is talking about himself.
I don't think there Is much In mo to
Interest a woman uow. A girl with a
shade of romance would havo sotuo
dlfllculty in accepting 1110 as a lover.
.Fancy a young woman addressing mo
us "Henry, dear" u man who ought
to havo grown-up daughters of ids
own, and who gets out of breath if
obliged to run up stairs! I could not
penult such familiarity. I protest that
if any girl did becomo attached to 1110 I
should consider it my duty to mako
more strenuous efforts to euro her than
Jmcelot did in tho cuso of Klulue.
No, no, there is 110 nonsense about
me, but only a certain amount of dor
mant poetry, and this bud been awak
ened by Miss Lyall.
Tho next day I went up to London
to tho club, lfrown dropped in ami
declared with emphasis that I looked
ten years younger than when bo lost
saw mo.
This pleased me and I asked him to
lunch, simply, I confess, for tho pleas
ure of talking ubout Miss Lyiill, for
when I am full of n subject 1 must
speak of it; a weakness, I know, but
I'm too old to euro.
Wo had an excellent lunch, I remem
ber, uud tt particularly good Mayon
naise; It always seems to fix a lunch on
my memory. I wish It agreed with mo
1 tola Jirown or my moeiuig with
Miss Lyall, nnd it scorned to amuso
him, but while I was doing my best to
describe her eves and features ho in
terrupted mo, ruthor rudely, I thought
with an unnecessary laugh, exclaim
ing: ,fWhy, Merton, my wily old bachelor,
tho girl has mado quito an impression
on you. Ask mo to U10 wedding. Como
and see Morton tho married man. Ah I
ahl nhl" '
I bato flippancy, and regretted I had
oskod him to lunch. "Nonsense,
Brown," said I, a llttlo irritably; "a
man can surely admiro a pretty girl
without causing absurd jokes. Old
fogies liko you and mo don't expect
girls to fall In lovo with them."
Brown is quito as old as I am, but I
could soo he did not liko to bo bracketed
with mo as u harmless old bachelor,
for I am told ho is still invited to even
ing parties and dances a good deal af
ter supper wiin gins wno are just out.
After lunch it occurred to mo that
since I hud spoiled Miss Lyall'u book it
would bo polite to replace It. It was
Sholley, I remembered. All young and
ardent souls read Shelley. I used to
mysolf at one tlmo, but do not appre
ciate him so much now, having, per
haps, becomo moro reconciled to
"tilings iu general." Accordingly I
procured tho edition by W. M. Itosotti,
in three volumes, and forwurdod thorn
to her with n llttlo note, n literary
cllort which cost tho club several sheets
of paper beforo I was satisfied. Brown
came up while I was directing tho en
velope and asked mo iroitcally if 1 had
been writing a poem.
"A poem, Indued!" exclaimed I testi
ly. "Why"
"Because you havo bucIi a seraphic
smilo on your venerable face," bo an
swered, grinning.
It is generally wiser to hold one's
tongue. Feople do misconstrue so. This
was tho commencement of my friend
ship with Edith. Sho wroto 1110 n llttlo
note of thanks, and hoped I would cull
nt Fairlawn, which I did on tho first
opportunity.' Mrs. Lyall was ruthor a
majestic lady, who ovidciitly contrived
to have her own way in tho houso.
Edith was charming. Sho had n way
of talking of tho weather which was
most interesting nnd absorbing. Wo
men with deop grny oyes nnd long lash
es have. Her mother quite agreed with
tho vluws I expressed on modern Radi
calism it Is always safo to pitch Into
ltadlcals when you uro talking to
ladies, it sounds so respectable.
"Yes," slio remarked with it sigh, "wo
llvo in dangerous times."
"Wo do Indeed," echoed I.
"I suppose till progress does scorn
daugorous to peoplu who don't want to
move," Edith remarked.
A liberal sentiment for which her
mother was reproving her, whonBcrtio
appeared. Upon my thanking him
with dignity for bis assistance bo ro-
markod that ha and Edith had laughed
liko anything about it afterward.
Schoolboys are foolish creatures,, roady
to giggle at anything, and unpleasantly
frank when It Is 11 question of othor
peoplo. This visit was tho first of
many, nnd Edith, who scemod to grow
moro charming every tlmo I saw hor,
acquired so much intluonco over mo that
bud it not been for a discovery I made,
I confess it was not unlikely that I
might havo mado 11 donkey of mysolf.
I discovered sho bad a lover. I went
0110 afternoon to Fairlawn, and Mrs.
Lyall told mo that Edith had gono to
lunch with somo friends, and would
not bo homo till tho evening. Aban
doning nu itopcs or seeing ncr on mat
day, and thrown for my amusomont on
my own resources, I went after dinner
for an evening rnmblo. Tho air was
calm and clear, and finding a comfort
able seat on a st lie between two fields,
I sat watching tho shadows deepen nnd
listening to a nightingale. Tho light
grow dimmor, a palo star nppoarcd In
thu sky; afar off I could hear tho water
rushing over n distant weir. I sudden
ly detected light footsteps In tho Hold
behind me, thon tho rustlo of n dress,
and turning my head I saw Edith on
thu othor sido of tho stile. Sho stnrtod
back lu stirnriso.
"Why," 1 exclaimed in astonishment,
"I heard you wcro spending tho day
with tho A s." Thoy llvoil far away
in another direction.
"I did lunch there," sho said a llttlo
nervously.
"But this Isn't tho way back from
their house."
"I'm not coming from there."
"Oh," said I, uud helped her over tho
Btllo.
"Mr. Merton," slip said after 11
pauso. "I want you to do mo a favor."
I think I dreaded something unpleas
ant. "You tiro surprised to moot mo horo,"
she continued.
"Why-uh-yes."
"You mustn't tell
mot me."
my mother you
Miss Edith's cheeks wero flushed,
and her oyes wero anxious.
"Come, promise," she urgod as I ro
inalned silent.
"I promise," said I she could havo
mado mo promise anything "but you
ought not to have a secret from your
mother."
I was beginning to feel like u con
federate in a plot.
"1 know that," said Edith, "but I
can't help It."
Then it dawned 011 mo with -a rush
that Edith had a lover and that sho
had just parted with him. I felt a sud
den and unpleasant change within
mo, uud, waking from my little dream,
became u leasomiblo mortal again. A
barrier of embarrassment bad sprung
up between us.
Altera llttlo pauso, however, I in
formed Edith that I took a fatherly In
terest In her tho adjective did not
seem happy and that if I could serve
her in any honorable wuy it would give
me pleasure.
"Thank you," sho said, "I value your
opinion very highly, and I think If you
wero lu my place yon would act as I
do."
I smiled ut tho Idea of being In her
place, and wondered If I should have
preferred the society of men of ripe
years to that of inexperienced boys.
It seemed to me that I should.
"I'm sure you would," she added
with u blush. "Would you give up a
man bocauso be happened to bo poor?"
There was a very beautiful gleam in
her eyes.
"No," said I, "not if there were any
thing in him worth caring for, whlcJj
Isn't usually the caso."
"The man I caro for Is much too
good for me!" she exclaimed.
"Nonsense," said I feelingly.
"You would like him very much if
you knew him," she went on. I doubted
"And you'vo just seen this paragon,"
said I sarcastically.
"Yes," said she. "and you can't
imagine how difficult it is."
Then sho told me the story of an
nttuchmont youthful detrimental no
prospects maternal disapproval clan
destine meetings in consequence all
tho difllciiltles so full of absurdities
and pathos that dog tho Btcps of un
happy lovers. Poor Edith! liko tho
rest of tho world sho had her troubles.
If it had been any 0110 clso 1 should
have lectured her, but her manner of
stating her cose throw dust in my oyes
sau muuu 11, uppcar sue was quite
right.
"And what is his name? I inquirod
bluntly.
"I would rather not toll you," said
sho.
"What does ho do then?"
"Ho is an nrtist"
I naturally concluded that ho was
not a successful one, picturing to my
self n good-looking young dauber ac
cusing tho Hanging Committco of tho
Academy of till manner of crimes when
they hud tho trooil tosto to rolcct his
productions from thu mnss of medio
crity with which they unnuiilly cover
thofr wulls.
"I hnvo a nephew who culls himself
an artist," said I.
Sho gnvo a llttlo start.
"You never spoko of him beforo,"
said sho.
"No; because wo qunrrelled."
"Whoso fault was It?"
"His, of course!" And I told hor tho
story of Chnrllo's Ingratltudo, whllo sho
listened intently.
"Poor follow!" sho exclaimed, "how
very nlco ho must bo."
This was not what I expected. I fait
shu ought to have pitied me. So I com
menced to defend my courso of nctlon,
whllo she, 011 her side, pleaded Chnr
llo's cause with u warmth and Interest
thnt, considering her own troubles, sur-
pnscu me. 1 iriou 111 vain to persuade
her that tho llrst stops toward a recon
ciliation must como from Charllo; but,
woman-like, feeling blinded her sonso
of Justlco nnd sho was logic-proof. It
was almost dark whon wo separated nt
hor gate. I watched her aa sue flitted
through tho gloom of tho trees to tho
bouso, and thon walked slowly homo
with a now set of thoughts about hor.
I did not sleep well that night.

Indlnn Ornament!.
I
There are but few ornaments now in
uso with any inclining, says a corre
spondent of tho Helena lkrahl, writing
of thu Dakota Indians. Eagle feathers,
tho number worn showing tho number
of enemies killed, tho wing feathers of
tho bald-headed eagle denoting male,
nnd tho black eagle feathers donoting
women, are. perhaps, most prominent.
If they have sculped the enemy 11 broad
rod streak is painted upon tho feathers.
If tho person killed wns of prominence
or reputation, tho feather is sometimes
dyed red. Small sticks wrapped with
porcuplno quills aro somct linos attached
to tho quill of tho feather, and llttlo
ploces of white fur glued to the ends.
No 0110 will wear an eagle feather un
less entitled to It, as thoy hellovo it
will fly nway from their heads If worn
unlaw fully. Tho scalp-lock is still
worn oven among tho co-called civil
ized Indians. They arm ago tho scalp
lock proper un inch across, and tlo
around this very llrinly n head-baud,
and then the liulr Is braided nud an
otter skin is tied around it spirally,
forming a braid ut least two and some
times ns much as four feet long. This
Is kept oiled for the enemy. If an In
dian has tho time, ami the person kill
ed Is of Importance, he will scalp off
the whole from beneath tho eyebrows,
Including thu eyes. (SrUxly bear claws
are worn as necklaces I do not he
llovo as a mark of distinction, but as
they are- costly I think the wearing of
them is merely a matter of wealth and
not of ch(cftafuhl.

A citizen of Frederick, Md., has In
vented a machine which hu call? "tho
perpetual gravity power machine."
It .consists of ono wheel, twei'ty-slx
Inches in diameter uud eight indies in
widtli across the rim, madu of iron and
steel. Inclosed lu this wheel is a
series of works, tho wheel being keyed
to a steel unIo and bearing in lir.s
boxes, which aro set in 11 wooden
frame. It weighs about sixty pounds,
and furnishes thirty pounds of power
from tho journal, which is threo
quurters of an inch, turned down to
one-quarter of an inch bearing, Tho
motive principle is that of weight
sliding to and fro from tho center of
tho wheel. There uro two Inner
wheels, each twentv-two Inches in
diameter, between which tho weights
aro placed. Thi-ao weights aro so
arranged that in descending they give
a sutlicient momentum to curvy tho
wheel around continuously, and It is
claimed that this revolution will bo
kept up until tho iuirU aro woru away
by friutlou.
