Riley, in Indianapolis Journal. "PHIL." ' She had gone from the room to get a rrap for onr drive, as I Lad told her it had come tip qnite cold, and she had looked back with a smile as she went avay. She had a slight flash on her fair proud face, too, with a deep sweet light in her violet eyes." She was very calm and cold, this love of mine, Rene Snowdon. "But I loved her the more for that, in contrast to my own fire acd restlessness. I hardly knew how I had won her. So many had tried and failed. She had always been indifferent and scornful, but she was the one perfect woman in the world for me. No one else had read the pure, unsul lied heart; the white, c'uill nature that couM glow to such warm tenderness be neath love's magic. I was wandering about the room while I waited, for apparently she could, not find a wrap at once. I drummed idly on the piano'; I took a few turns up and down the room; and then, -verifying the old distict abouf'Satan and idle hands," I did an unpardonable thing I read an open note lying on Rene's escritore. I did it mechanically, on my word, and Lad read it before I realized my own impertinence. 1 had looked at it idly; a eqnare, Leavy sheet of ivory paper, written aver with a dashing chiography; but I was brought to the vivid realiza tion of life suddenly enough by its pe rusal. It ran thus: "Have I lost you, my Rene? is all over between us now? And such I little while since we made onr vows to each other ! Such a little while ago you were the snow to my tird such a little time since we parted 1 And now this u super has come between us I How can I for give you? And yet I mnst always love you. I will bo with you on the 15th Let me have you to myself for a little while; for a little while be all my own, as in the other days. ion Jove me thu much. ' Your despairiugly pHiii." I read it twice. I felt blind, dumb. Qhoking. I walked to the door. I heard Rene's silken dress switching on the stair. I heard her call in a tone of alarm "Belix, what is it?" But I did not turn nor apeak, but rushed out of the house. It must have been an hour or two after . when JL awoke to life and the world, and found myself driving madly along the roads outside of the town, with my brain on fire. That night I took the night train and spent a week rushing frantically from one place to another, never stopping even to sleep at any hotel. All the time I was Baying to myself, "How can a wo man be so false?" I had been a slave. From the first moment I had met Rene Snowdon, I had been bound hand and foot. She was a woman of the world I was warned; beantiful and dazzling, and played with men's hearts as a child with toys. But I had not believed it. I had thought her "pure and womanly." But now I awoke from my delusion. What a fool I had been. I had thought ah! Lad she not told me, with that flush in her lily face, with that light in her sap phire eyes? that no other man had kissed the scarlet, tender mouth, that no other man had held her in his arms; that only for me had her heart awak ened. Fool! Did they not all say that? Were 'they not all, every daughter of Eve, faithless, contemptible? Had I wan dered about the world all these years, to be beguiled at last by Delilah, because her face was like a snowflower, and the sunshine lay in her silken hair? But the proud tenderness the reserved sweet cess the gracious calm! She had chosen her weapons well. This fair hauteur went further with a man than all the wild abandon of a less practiced, less artless woman. At last I came Lome. Weeks Lad passed. I "was striving to get back into the 61d ways to feel the old interests. But I was succeeding miserably. The morning after my return I was saunter ing idly along, an elegant little turnout pulled up briskly to the. curb, and a light, gay voice greeted me. "Felix Hawthorne," it said, "are you coming to my party to morrow night? You have beenv very rude, for you Lave not answered my invitation. No one Las known anything about you. Where Lave you been? We Lave all wondered and conjectured -in vain. You look a little nnder . the weather. Is there any- .u r-: . .1 .1 e v And a frank Land was extended from the window, and the charming face looked a little smiling, a little grave, into mine. "I have been very busy," I said. "Some unexpected complications in bus iness have called me away, and absorbed every moment of my time for two or .three weeks. I throw myself on your mercy, Mrs. Chanfrau, a -i if you will have such a worthless 1 wager, I will drop in to-morrow night," "Felix," I don't more than half believe you. You don't look well," was the reply; and as the carriage drove away I raw the pretty, bright face watching me anxiously. "Dear little woman," I said to myself, "how kind you seem! Doubt less you are as bad as the rest of them," I added cynically, "if one but knew it." I bad not looked at my letters yet, and so bad not read her invitation. Yes! I LaJ looked at one. Rene had sent her servant, with a little note, the very night ''Phil's" letter Lad wrought such evil in - t m and once; but I had returned is unopened, and without a word. Next night, a little before midnight I soaght Mrs. Chanfran's house. Every thing sbo did was perfect, in it's way ; and if society was ever agreeable, it was in her artistic rooms; beneath her smiles it put on its most honneyed look, and rounded off its phrases with an elabor ateness that ought to make ona believe in them. As I made my way to her she came forward and put her hand on my arm. '. "You do look so very grumy, Felix," she said, "that I must introduce you at once to my new protege. Every one is in raptures over her. But I warn you my rose has thorns. Ah ! here she is. Miss Everingham, Mr. Hawthorne; Fe lix, my new friend, Miss Everingham." I saw a rich, piquant face like a poppy; dark and rich, with flashing dark eyes; dark, smooth skin and crimson lips. She was clad in sombre, barrio draperies, and looked like some tropical bird, or bud, in her lithe, glowing beauty. I was prepared to be very ajaiable. But tho smile with which she greeted me at first faded away as she caught my name; and she bowed frigidly, and turned to our hostess, and away from me. Rosalie looked surprised, but rattled on in her lively way; Miss Everingham answered all my remarks with icy monosyllablos; and finally, when a blonde and insipid youth came to claim her for a dance, she left mo without a word or look, but gave him a brilliant smile of welcome. By-and by I found myself in a quad rille opposite Miss Everingham. Sho did not notice me. I might as well have been made of wood. It amused me, at last, to watch her studied neglect and scorn of me, her brightness for every one else. Yet why did she treat me in this way? I had never heard her name in my life before. How, then, could I be guilty in any way towards her? One thiag I noticed, Rene was not there. I had expected her, of course, as she and Rosalie were dear friends. Once I heard some one say: ,;A party does not seem natural without Mus Snowdon; it is like the play of 'Hamlet, with Hamlet left out, don't you know." I have not seen her out,even for a drive, for a week or two. I wonder what new whim it is! The people had begun to go. I had stepped into the library, seeking Mrs. Chanfrau to make my adieux, when I heard a voice I recognized. "See if you can find my fan, please," it said. "I left it on the window cush ion, in the music room, I think. I will wait for you here." The next instant a young man brushed past me meekly, in search of the fan. Half hidden in a big chair, I saw Miss Everingham. I went over to her, and she looked up scornfully and in dis pleased snrprise. But I was determined to know the reason for her conduct. "When a man is condemned to be hung. Miss Everingham," I said, coolly, the judge always distinctly spates the na ture of the crime before administering the sentence. Have you any objectious to letting me know what I have done?" She looked at me a moment very steadily, even contemptuously, I aui constrained to say. "Mr. Hawthorne, when I tell yon I am Rene Snowdon's cousin and dearest friend you can hardly ask for further in formation. The fact that no one but my self will ever know of your baseness is the reason that you will be treated as a gentleman by the world at large." y . . -. . Before I could reply the", young ledy had swept from the room. I passed a sleepless night. - What could she mean? By morniug I ha reached a conclusion. I called mysel weak and poor in spirit; but 1 would go to Rene. I would, at least, hear what she had to say. Tho servant ushered me into tho morn ing room. It was untenanted. But heard voices behind the curtains that concealed a little inner sanctuary that was Rene's boudoir. As I stood, uncer tain whether to go further, and cursing the stupidity of the servant, who had not aunounced me, I heard lleue s voice My heart,, ia spite of myself, leaped up at the sweet, weary tones. vPhjllys, darling, she was saying, "papa has consonfed to go, so we ueod not be separated." "lam so glad I a lervent voice an swered, that I recognized also. "But it isn't tho old Rene, dear, can't you for get?" i I did not wait to hear Rene's answer. Something within me compelled me to push back tho portiere, and I found my self in the presence of Reno and Miss Everingham. The latter looked up at me, perfectly mutinous. She stepped back with a ges ture of aversion, and stood at Rene s side as if to protect her friend. Rene herself started and turned pale as saw she me, and drew herself np coldly. "Mr. Hawthorne, she said icily, "you were unannounced. I suppose you wish to see papa?" "I wish no one in the world but you, liene, 1 cried, tho scales seeming sua deniy to fall from my eyes r La.? been the most miserable wretch on the face of the earth. I could not live long er without you, and came this morning to hear ytfur explanation and tell you mine. I have been an arrant fool, per haps worse; 'for I have donbted your truth." She gave another quick start. "But I love you I have always loved I will love you until I die. And I usk you to lorgive the wrong I feel I must have done you; for looking upon you now, in tho face of everything I know you to bo high and pure." Her face had grown whiter and whiter, and her great sweet eyes were looking at me wistfully. Miss Everingham stood by her, but a little in advance, and was lacing me with mutinous dark eyes. Before Rene could sneak her friend broke forth scornfully: "You think you can abuse and wrong the tenderest, purest heart that ever beat," she said, "and then come in your own sweet time and be forgiven? How dare yon? What right have you to be pardoned?" "Hush, Phil r It was Rene's low, even voico that thus broke in upon tho other's passionate anger. A light at once flashed u jou mo at that word, "Phil." "Listen to me. Rene!" I cried breath lessly. "Tho morniug I waited for you. the last time I was here, I wandered around and finally committed the unpar donable offense of reading a slip of paper on your desk a page, filled with des pairing and passionate love, signed "Phil." ' 8 Miss Everincham sr.arr.Ai1 vinlni and stepped toward me with nn eatrer gesture. But I continued. I had set you up so high in my soul, Reno, that this blow crushed me. The whole world was changed to .me, nnd I believed you false. But I came hero this morning, willing to believe you all that I once believed " Suddenly a radiant, joyous voice broke in: "I am Phil!" it cried; "Rene always mMmnl bronchi it to me at I - T - - - ' with my tbeatrioal notes, in the days when we had sworn eternal maidenhood and feality to each other. Why don't you speak, Rene? You won't let him go now, dear? He Las loved you all the time and what if you had read a note written like to Mr. Hawthorne and signed 'Maud' would you not have been cruelly hurt?" But the curtains had fallen behind Miss Phillys Everingham as she swept into the other room, and Rene and I were alone in the boudoir. Rene was in my arms. - Tho Sal Tat ion Army a Nuisance. An action was brought at the Chester county court recently by Mr. Henry Fleet, of Kelsall, against the local branch of the Salvation Army. Mr. Fleet alleged that tho Salvationists, who occupy a loft in a barn near Lis Louse, caused such a nuisance by their services that life became intolerable to him. He claimed 50,000 damages, and applied for an injunction to restrain the Salva tionists from causing him future annoy ance. He was a builder and contractor, and was in the habit of making out esti mates in the evening. This he had been unable to do since the Salvation Army had taken up their quarters beside him, and he was frequently compelled to quit his house and go out into the garden and had to do his work after the army had retired. Their hour of separation was, however, very late, and on one occasion they remained until midnight. On Sun day mornings, when be naturally ex pected some rest, their noises invariably aroused tiim. He called witnesses to prove that 'conversation could not be carried on in Lis Louse during the services of tho army. The din was described as horrible. A number of amateur minstrels brought instruments to the loft and played vigorously to Lis own fancy. Cornets, tambourines, melo deons, concertinas, accordeons and oc casionally a big drum were all going to gether, and the awful discord was rend ered more dreadful by nniversal stamp ing of feet and shouts of "Hallelujah! A policeman said the army had done no good in the village, and one of its mem bers had been recently fined for drunk enness. several Salvationists were called for the defense, but they con fessed that they were all accustomed to shout "Glory!" and "Amen!" Instru ments were also used at their services but they did not consider them nuisance. The judge said there coul bo no doubt thai the services of the army were legally a nuisance to the plaintiff, and he would therefore award him the nominal sum of Is. damages and grant him an injunction restraining the salva tion army from perpetuating the nui sanco.

The First Prayer lu Colorado. Father Dyer, a Methodist minister,was the pioneer preacher in Colorado. He brought prayer over in a wheelbarrow before any of the Pullman sleeper preachers arrived. It is related of Father Dyer that when he first landed in what is now Denver he saw before him a large tent, and to that, supposing a camp meet' ing was in progress, he 'wended his way. lo ins astonishment he found not a meeting, but a very extensive series' of games, snch as faro, poker, fceno and the like, going forward. He remained about the tent for .forty-eight Lours, looking very intently upon the progress of the games. At the end of that period ne stepped upon a table and said in a voice loud enough to be heard all about him: "Boys, I have looked at your game now for the last eight and forty Lours. Now, I a3k you to give some attention to mine. Let us pray." They had not known be fore that the solemn looking man was a minister, but at the invitation hats were taken off, chips were dropped, and all bowed their heads in prayer, with Father Dyer leading. And that was the first public prayer uttered in Ihe Pike's Peak country. After the prayer had been con cluded the games were resumed. Something Had Happened. At one of the northern depots lately au old lady, whom an inward train had just deposited, timidly approached a break- man aad asked if he knew whereabouts on the line her nephew was employed. "Abner?" said the railroal man. "O, le's been changed about considerably ately. He fired the John Edward till she ditched the graves and he got stove a. When he came out they gave him the Owl for awhile, then he broke the two-eight passenger till she jumped to a know-nothing, and he got pinched some where, and now I believe he's spare round the yard. You see, ho s had bad uck. The old . lady stood spaechiess or a moment, as if trying to digest the idioms of the railroad, and then said softry, as if at a hazard, that she 'thought he d had. lioston Globe. Textile Fabbics. A blazing coal, it is said, furnishes a crucial test by which to determine whether any textile fabric is of vegetable or animaF material. Held near th3 glowing coal, cotton or linen fibres will burn with flame and leave only a slight ash. Woolen or silk fibres will not blaze, but smoulder until re duced to a heavy ash. Another method is to put some of the threads, separated into fibres, into boiling nitric acid. Silk will turn to bright yellow, wool to a darker yellow, and cotton 'or flax will re main colorless. If the fibres are boiled with the acid a while, the proportion of vegetable material cn be judged by the amount of colored and colorless threads. said I would ffefc myself into trouble Household Illnta. Fig Sauce A nice sauce for' tea ean be made of figs. Let them soak in cold water or, better still, in a little sour ci der, all night. Then let them boil gently until they are tender.' Just before tak ing them from the fire add sugar to your taste. If you do not use cider, the juice of one or two lemons should be used to prevent the sauce from tasting insipid. Cottage Puffs One cup of milk, one cup of cream; four eggs beaten stiff; one tablespoonful of butter chopped into the flour; a little salt; enough prepared flour for thick batter. Mix the beaten yolks with the milk and cream, then the salt whites; lastly the flour. Bake in but tered iron pans, such as are used for gems. TJtie oven must be quick. Cream of Rice Soup Two quarts of chicken stock (the water in which the fowls have been boiled will answer) ; one tea cup full of rice; a stalk of celery; salt and pepper to taste. Wash rice carefully, and add to chicken stock, on ion and celery. Cook slowly two hours (it should hardly bubble) . Put through a sieve; add seasoning and the milk or cream, which has been allowed to come just to a boil. If milk, use a tablespoon ful of butter. Cauliflower with Cheese Take off the outside leaves and put the cauliflower into well salted boiling water. Boil un til tendery wnen cooked dra.w from the water, sprinkle over the top of it finely grated cheese atfcT some butter cut in small bits. Place it in the oven a few minutes to melt the cheese, make a sauce for the cauliflower with some flour, a tablespoonful of grated cheese and a tablespoonful of melted butter, some cream and two well beaten eggs. Stir well together in a saucepan oner the fire, and if not perfectly smooth strain through a colander. Pour the sauce over the cauliflower and serve. Stewed Steak with Oysters Two pounds of rump steak, one pint of oys ters, one tablespoonful of lemon juice, three of butter, one of flour, salt.pepper, one cupful of water. Wash the oysters in the water and drain into a stew pan. Put this liquor on to heat. As soon as it comes to a boil, skim and set back. Put the butter in a frying pan, and when hot put in tho steak; cook ten minutes: take up the Bteak. and stir the flour into the butter remaining in the pan. Stir until a dark brown. Add tie oyster liquor and boil one minute. Sea son with salt and pepper. Put back the steak, cover the pan and simmer half an hour; then add the oysters and lemon juioe. Boil one minute. Serve on t hot dish with points of toast for a gar nish.
