Cairn dale was a gTand aid estate a quaint stone mansion set in the midst of smoothly-cut lawns, . luxuriant far- dens, a border of thick woodland. Old Rafus Cairn could draw the interest of his fortune by tbeusands, -and he 1 had shares in several successful enterprises, a man to be envied by right of wealth and position, yet a man that found little pleasure iu life, alone and lonely in his line homo, with luxuries he could not enjoy, and riches that did list bring him happiness. Hi stood one day at the window of his library overlooking the well-kept grounds, and deep lines settled between his heavy gray brows. "What use is all this to me?" he mut tered. "I was far more content wben.a lad without a penny in my pocket. Yet how different all might have been if she had come to brighten my life;" Then his thoughts wandered bajk to the pust when he had dreamed of love and happiness, and a fair girl's face shone upon him like a guiding star to lead hiro on. ' . Stella Gaylor was not to blame that her heart, turning trom her elder, re served suitor, went to the keeping of handsome young Percy Trafton, but up on Rufus Cairu the blow fell heavily. tie never saw her after her marriage, but now and then came hews to him, and when Percy Trafton was deserted by the Goddess of Fortune that all the while was bestowing his best gifts on his rival of past years, a stray hank note found its way now and then to bis humble home, with no clue to the send er, and so perforce it was used. Rufus Cairn was thinking it all over as he stood there alone, and his face urew almost tender with the influence of sweet, half-forgotten memories. "And now she is dead," he thought with a sigh. "Percy Trafton too is none. Let me think six months since I heard of his death. I wonder what became of their daughter." Then it was a strange tancy came to him, and out of that fancy resulted the arrival of Sybil Trafton at Cairndale. A tall, slender eirl with a face like that of Stella Gaylor in her youth, ovalt delicately-featured, pansy-eyed, and set iu a frame of golc' -brown hair. - She bad the same graceful way, the low, sweet voice, the gentle disposition, and Rufus Cairn's heart, dead so long to feelings of affection and pity, grew tender at sight of her. OTtiere. wre ethers in the old .mansion, Sybil Traftou's aunt, Dudley Courtney, a son of Rufus Cairn's only cousin, his half-sister Alice, and her friend Edyth Lynn with her brother, Gerald, a merry party and one that appreciated and en joyed the old man's hospitality and wondered a little at the motive that must actuate it. Dudley Courtney was a handsome man, polished and of suave manners; the fair beauty of Sybil was a magnet for his fancy, and it chanced they spent a great part of the time together, while Rufus Cairn looked on well pleased. One day he summoned Sybil to the library and there disclosed his plans. "1 loved your mother," he said in his grave, earnest way. "tier memory is ... Stlil the dearest thins my heart can cherish, and what 1 would have done for her take I would now do for yours. I am an old man, rich, and without nearer relative than Dudley Courtney. I do not wish my estate and fortune to go outride the family, therefore I leave it to you aud him on condition that you warry." "Marry oh " "Heor me, it is my dearest wish. You two 'young people I care more for than all others why should yeu not unite aud enjoy iny wealth together: Dudley cares lor you, -I know, aud sure ly you do not dislike him." "Far from it, but " 'I have set my heart upon it," con tinued the old man, persistently. "It ia for your own welfare. If he refuses, all will go to you if you refuse, neither gets a penny." "Cut that is unfair, Mr. Cairn," cried Sybil. "Do you not see the injustice of your plan? He is nearer to you than I. It would be crul." "Then mwy him if you do not wish to see him deprived," retorted old Ru fus. grimly. "I I" "Do not answer hastily. I will give von time to consider it. There, go now und make vour derision." Sybil left tho room iu perplexity, and at the same time a movement of the heavy curtains at the other end betray ed the presence of a listener. It was the form of Alice ( ourtuey that glided cuntiously away, and there was a flash on her cheeks, a gleam in her eyes that bespoke restrained emotion, To her own room Sybil went, swiftly locking the door behind her, and pneiug to and fro with clasped hands aud though tfnl face. "What a strange whim," she thought L marry Dudley Courtney on, 1 can not. Perhaps be will not consent; but he does not know yet. Rufus Cairo has watched him and thinks he is in love with me. It I refuse he will be de prived of all this wealth that is so un just. Perhaps I would learn to care for him if it were DM for Philip. Dear Philip, I wish for his sake 1 might gain possession of some of this wealth, yet there is no hope unless Dudley Court ney refuses to marry me." A blush suffused her fare; her eyes drooped. She thought of the atten tions that had been lavished upon her during the past weeks, the earnest glances, the half-tender speeches; and there came to her a conviction that he would not refuse, ttmt beared for her as old Rufus Cairn desired. The Hays went Vy, Dudley Coartnsy became more devoted to Sybil as time passed, and see mod in no way discour aged by her - calm, reserved : manner, that would have repelled a lau ardent soitor. ' ' ' , Alios Courtney's manner took on new degree of affection, and in erery passible way she endeavored to win Sybil's interest for her brother. As the young girl onee declared to herself,, it would Dot be a difficult task, to learn to care for handsome Dudley Courtney, were it not that another's image rose as a barrier between them. . Not once aid Sybil swervo in her4 faith to her absent lover,' yet she was reluctant to speak her mmd to I'ufus Cairn she, so waited, hoping ttat. he would relent, .and release her fji the conditions he liad imposed . , One day at twilight, Sybil, sitting lone in the dusky shadows, the heavy curtain that half covered the broad windows concealing her slender form, heard the sound of voices in the hall without, and a moment later Alice Courtney's light tones broke the Bt ill ness that pervaded the darkened room. "Sybil, are you here?" ' Leaning forward to reply, Sybil start ed as a hand caught her own in a firm grasp and a fingvr was laid lightly np oc her lips. Into tbe recess where she sat Rufus Cairn had come, and now, standing beside her, he bent and whis pered: . "Silence, Sybil." Wondering, she leaned back., in her chair, and then came the sound of an other voice, a voice that, had often thrilled her with its low tenderness. "No one here, Alice?" '! - "No. Sybil must be in her room; It is nearly time for dinner. Now tell me, Dudley, when are you going to speak to her?" , "This very night." ; "Are you sure of success?" "I think the girl loves me." Sybd started again, but again a de taining hand held her back, j "Yes, you have played your cards well, Dudley, but yon always were an adept at love-making. ' It seems to me, though, that her manner is scarcely " . "Natural reserve; that is all. Oh, Alice! why could not the old man have made me bis heir without bringing in the jrirlf ."True; bat. having done so yon must accept her as a necessary evil. We can not do without this fortune; you kuow tbatwell'L . . ; r. .. .; .. ''Too well. I anf glad yon overheard the interview between them, else we should never have known. I paid her attention at first because she was pretty and took my fancy, but of late it has been quite a different matter." "To-uight, then, you will speak?" "Yes wish me luck, though I have played the role of lover well and dare say will gain the prize." "Well, I am goiug to dress for din ner." TbV voices ceased, there was the sound of retreating footsteps, and then old Rufus Cairn, dashing aside the cur tains, drew Sybil out and across to the entrance of hU library. "Come iu here," he said, hoarsely, "I want to speak with you." With the lights lit and old Rufus sit ting opjiosite her, Sybil raised her flush ed face aud startled eyes to those of the old man, and saw them dark with anger and chagrin. ' "You have heard all," he continued hastily. "That man is the one I would have made my heir, would have given you into his keeping, and he was woo ing you because he loved, not you, but my money. Wretch wretches, both of them; I will have no mare to do with them. As they passed through the hall I was about to come trom this room and, standing on the other side of the door, I heard Alice say: 'We duped them easily.' Those words aroused my suspicions, and you know' the rest. Now, Sybil, you shall have all." "Wait, I have something to tell you. Sybil cried, and so disclosed her secret, her doubts aud hesitation, her love f o r Philip Earle, and tbe old man heard with lowering brows. , She, too, had deceived him, ha said, and refused to believe her innocence. On the morrow the whole party left Cairndale, and with a heavy heart Syb il left the presence if the old mac, whom she pitied and cared for despite his harshness. " i A week later a letter reached her in closing these lines. 1 "Come back to me, Sybil; I was but testing you. All I have is yours, but oc one. condition: I want to see you well settled in life you shall marry Philip Earle. He is a good man, else he would not have won your love, Come, both of you, t" your old, lonely friend. Rufus Cairn.

From Our Bsgolar Cemspandess. Washington, July 4, 1885, While walking through the Navy Yard the other day, I met Commo dore Sicard "Thip, said the Com. modore, , holding up i chocolate colored, - six-aided prism ' an inch and a half iby diameter, with a round hole through, it, and weighing ever two ounces, 'this ia a grain of the celebrated cocoa powder i of which yon have heard bo much." "Is it tnado of cocoa?" I asked, , ,2go, there is probably not a partipla of ccooa in it. f It takes its name from its; color, but its' composition, ia a profound secret. It is made abroad and furnished to the world at a reasonable rate, but I think we shall soon be able to make it our selves. There are experiments go. ing forward here which we expect to bt crowned with success. The particular points of exceller.ee of the cocoa powder over the old kind are that it burns slowr at the be ginning and more, rapidly toward the end. In other words ' it has a tendency to burn more rapidly un der increasing pressure. With the black powder it is difficult to keep down the pressure, but it requires high pressure to make cocoa burn rapidly." "In the cocoa powder economical" "No, I cannot- sav that it is. it takes a good deal of it to impress a high velocity to a projectile. But when everything is properly adjusted it is not im possible to give a Telocity of more than 2,000 feet per second to a pro jectile." I thanked the Commodore and was giad to note another evi dence that our Nary was waking up- Numerous stories have been pub lished in regard to the physical condition of Hon. Malcolm Hay. First Assistant Postmaster General. He certainly has the appearance cf being in poor health, lie sits in an armed easy-chair, with his head resting languidly back upon the cushion. He is very pale, and his voice sounds like that of a sick man, or of one who is just recover ing. from.- a severe - tUtteqa.' I - am told, however, that he is not by any means so bad off as he has the appearance of being. He is really no worse than he has been for a number of years past He is a very conscientious man, and at' ands to his work very diligently and carefully. He is not a strong man physically, to be sure, but he carefully husbands his strength and accomplishes a great deal. " He works at his correspondence every night after he has gone hr-me, and thus works off verv much mere than would be supposed." A good story is teld of one of the recent Western appointees in the Treasury Department He had only just been installed, when, happening into one of the other offices, he beheld a silver truy and pitcher. His own room was furn ished with an ordinary earthen pitcher and tumbler. The silver tray took his eye, and, returning to his room, he wrote a requisition for one upon the Secretary. The Sec retary reaa the requisition and re turned it with the verbal message: "Tell Mr. that he better get the prairie mud off his boot-heels beforo he sends to me for silver trays." Mr. Hay is something of a civil service reformer in his way. He does not always please the Con gressmen and Senators, who have sometimes crowded him pretty hard tor appointments for their constitu ents. He is determined that Con gressmen shall be- held responsible far the recommendations which t ley make, and has sometimes been rather pointed iu the questions he, has asked. He manifestly be heves in doing business in a busi ness like way. .Postmaster General Vilas is tne last man in the Cabinet who was expected to be a civil service re former and yet I was told- by a candidate for office to-day that he lectured nearly every one who calls upon mm on tnis suojecc "It is extremely difficult to see the Post master General at all, and when one does see him it is only for a minute, and it is rather monotor nous to have that minute occupied with a lecture on civil service re form. Bot that is tbe way very otten, said this gentleman. The single rate letter postage law, which reduces the rate to two cents an ounce, instead . of two cents for each half ounce, as here tofore, has made very little change in the business of the Department But the change is in the line of a reduction of taxation and will be universally welcomed. Tbe present limit stops tho flew of affection, description and business often at tbe most interesting point Under the new law, some of the favorite and well-worn excuses for cutting a letter short become unavailable, but as the act says nothing against a sputtering pen, or thick ink, or tbe mail closing, or the end of the sheet, or the baby waking Up, cor respondents still have sufficient re sources for excusing tbentsi when they get tired of writing.

"Your people used to belong to the aristocracy of the State, did they nst?" was asked of an Arkansaw man. "Yes, sir, tbe leading people of the land." "Always reseated insults, didn't they?" "Yes, my father fonght three duels." "Brave and honorable, wasn't he!" "Yes, the very soul of honor." "I suppose you intend to follow his example?" ''Of course I do"; "I am glad to know it; but say, don't you remember that you bought $5 worth of goods at my store some time ago?" "That's so.- We always trade with our friend." "Yes, but you haven't paid me yet." - 'Haven't?' r';T. "rr- .--y . "No, you haven't ." ' "Well, whose fault is it?" "Yours, oi course, for I have sent my collector around several times." "No, sir; it's your fault." "I don't see how you make that" "Why, it's as plain as daylight You shouldn't have let me take tho goods, but speaking about aristocracy, let me tell you what's a fact, there's nothing like blood. Well, so long. Send your collector around occasionally. I'll al ways treat him with politeness. Be Forgot A Little Formality-, - A well-known gentleman of this city, who holds a public office of considera ble importance and honor, although not extraordinarily productive of emolu ments, is a victim of defective memory. He lately speut some time in New York and while there, in furtherance of polit ical or some other ead, arranged to give an elaborate dinner to a numerous and disringuished company. The appointed evening arrived, the collation, an ele gant ose, was already to be served, but the gaests came not. Half an hour passed, ana stilt iney did cot come, and the host became really uneasy. When the delay bad grown to an hour, and not a man of them had shown up, his feelings were indescribable. And who can picture his agony of spirit when, on returning to his hotel roere, he chanced to pull open a draw aad therein found the whole handle of in- vitations which he had forgotten to send out Under the new Registration Act in England the persons entitled to be reg istered at Parliamentary elections are as follows: - (a) Having a 10 occupation qualifi cation. ' ( (6) Having a household qualification. )c) Haviag a lodger or service quali fication. r or each of these it is imperative at present that the would-be voter must have possessed his qualification for the whole of tbe twelve months immediate' ly proceeding the 15th. The Mormon City Council at Salt Lake approve of the placing of the flag at half-mast on prominent buildings en Independence Day. They claim the act was not one of disrespect to the flag or aa exhibition of non-patriotic senti ments, and liken tbe prese.it feeling in Utah, nnder the recent arrests and trials for polygamy pressed by the Gov- eminent, similar te that exfjeriawced when President Garfield died. mlj FraetlesM fUyes.
