A SIMPLE RUSE
SS5S3&S&tf&3
BOUGH SCItUVLHR belonged
to an old Now York family.
Helen Gnnzevoort nlso belonged
to au old New York family. George's
branch of tho Schuyler family was
Mwr. Helen's branch of the Gnno
voort family was rich.
The parents of both these- young P
plo had boon tho stnunchest kind of
friends slnco they had been old enough
to know what friendship meant, and
friends had the ancestors been for gen
erations back to the tlmo of tho stump
legged Peter. Oeorgo Schuyler was
tire years older than Helen Game
voort. There was enough of the same
Dutch Idea left In Oeorgo to make him
a dutiful sou ns there was enough
of the same Hutch In Helen to make
her a dutiful daughter. Georgo Schuy
ler had been brought up to believe
that ono day ho must marry Helen
Gnnzevoort. and Helen Gnneevoort
had been brought up to believe that
one day she must marry George
Schuylor.
The Schuyler were not rich, as hns
been said, and when George vms 10,
Instead of being scut to college ho
was shipped west, to se If he could
pick up a fortune. Helen was at that
time 11 years old, and she did not
feel keenly nt all the parting with her
prostiectlre husband, and It must be
confessed that George didn't shed
many tears when he saldgood-by to
this plain little girl with her hair In
pigtails.
George Schuyler went to San Fran
cisco, and there In tho course of nine
years he did mnnsxo to pick up what
the farmer calls a '"tidy bit of money."
George went east twice during1 his San
Francisco stay, but both times Helen
Ganzcvoort was abroad. They wrote
az saw x cousmr orni, l.x x calico
DUEfS.
to each other once every three months,
and while there wasn't a lino of affec
tion In the letters ou olther side, thoro
was enough in them to show that each
felt that the old marriage arrange
ment made by tho parents still stood.
George Schuyler was iO years old.
His Income now was large enough to
Justify him In marrying, and In feel
ing that ho wouldn't have to go to the
bureau drawer every morning to find
his wife's purse. Goorgo waa going
back to take a bride that ho hudn't
seen Irr nine years, and It's Jnst barely
possible that he didn't feel overly com.
fortable at tho prospect. An a mat
ter of fact. Georgo Schuyler Hkcd
bachelorhood. No woman ever ns yet
had stirred his pulse. His gun and his
rod were more to him titan nil the
' women In tho world. Ilut Georgo had
been gottlng lettors from his aged
parents, who said that It was time he
eaine cast and went to wooing In earn
est. He wrote that, ho would start
In 7 a week, but that on his wuy bo
was to stop for a few days' fishing
with an old friend on the Ilcavcrklll,
that Ideal trout Htream which tumbles
down tho southern slope of the Cats-'
kills on Its way to Delaware.
Georgo Schuylor took his fly book
and his split bamboo rod on the ilrst
morning uftor his arrival at his
friend's wilderness lodgo nnd started
out to whip the etrenm for tho
speckled boautlos. He was in wading
boots hip high, and down tho stream
he went, dropping his "coachman" lure
to the surface of every pool where
It looked ns though a trout might lurk.
Luck was only fair and tho sun was
getting high. Trout don't like tho
glaro of the midday sun and they keep
away from tho surface, no matter how
tempting tho morsel offered for con
sumption. Georgo Schuyler was think
ing about reeling In and going back
to the lodge, when suddenly at a place
where tho ncaversklll broadened ho
saw a country girl, in a calico dress
and sunbonnct, sitting nt tho water's
edge. She was listening to tho song
of a brown thrasher that, tilting on a
low tree top, was pouring forth Its
medley for tho benefit of his sunbon
neted friend.
George Schuyler stopped In mid
stream. He did not wish to disturb
the bird's solo, upon wbioh the listen
ing girl seemed so Intent. Ho stopped,
but slipped on a round stone and
splashed tho water, which was calm
nnd still Just there. Tho thrasher went
Into the thicket Uko n rinsh and the
girl turned her head Just s quickly.
George Schuyler saw n face under
tho shadow of the huge country bon
net that was much more thnn pretty
and which had In It that which men
rightly call character. George's llsh
ormnn's cup was oit In an Instant.
"Good mornings" are allowable In the
wilderness wlthoul the formality of
an Introduction.
"I am Just about to stop fishing and
go Itack to tho lodge of my friend,
Mr. l'nyson. Can you tell me If thcro
Is n shorter path than the stream It
self r
Tho girl nodded brightly. "Yes."
she said, "you can take the trail
.through the tamaracks. It begins Just
here." Then tho girl turned her at
tention once more to tho brown thrash
er, who gave symptoms of being will
ing to start his solo once more.
Schuylor thanked tho girl courteous
ly and after reeling In his lino started
along tho trail Indicated. When ho
reached his friend James 1'ayson's
lodge the Ilrst thing he said was: "Jim,
In the name of itll t lint's lovely, who
Is your sunbonneted neighbor with n
voice like a bubbling spring nnd eyes
like those of the girls In old Her-
rick's pocmsV
Jim l'nyson laughed. "You must
have run across old Cheney's dnushtcr.
Ho has -100 or WW rocky acres with a
little house ou them. Mury Is Ids only
daughter, and he put her through Vas
sar nnd made quite a lady of her. She
Is a lK-.iuty and no mistake. Hit you
first time, eh, old man?"
Schuyler colored a little ami said:
"Well, not exactly hit. Jim. I must
not bo hit, you know, but the girl Is
attractive and no mistake."
That evening Jim Tayson asked his
guest If ho wouldn't Uko to go over
and call on old Cheney. There was no
hetltaury In falling In with the pro
posal. They found old Cheney on tho
torch smoking his pipe. He was a
white-haired old fellow of the farmer
type, nnd while he admitted It was
hard wringing crops from the stony
Catsklll slope, yet he said he wouldn't
give up hi mountainside with Its air
and scenery for the best valley laud on
tho continent Then Georgo Schuyler
met Mary Cheney. James Tayson did
tho Introducing. Schuyler found his
mountain lower all that ho had ex
pected from the gllmpso that ho had
caught of Its beauty In tho morning.
Tho girl was refinement itself, and as
Schuyler looked at tho old fellow
sitting In the porch corner puffing
contentedly at Ids corncob pipe ho
wondored how this slip could have
come from such a paront stem.
Well. It's better to mako It short.
George Schuyler stayed a week and
then lingered for two more. He wrote
to Now York that he was enjoying the
fishing. So be was for about an hour
every morning. One day ho brought
himself up with a round turn. Ho
thought of his duty to Helen Ganze
voort. He knew In bis heart that he loved
this girl of the mountainside who had
a voice like ono 'of the veerios that
sing ovcry day at sunset.
Thnt night ho wont to Mary Cheney
and told her nil. Ho know somehow
that the girl liad grown to love him
an he hail grown to lovo her. They
stood ou the porch looking down onto
tho far-off valley. It was twilight and
the veerles and the vesper sparrows
were singing everywhere. Ho told
iter of his childhood engagement to
Helen Ganzevoort. "I Imvo not seen
her slnco sho was 11 years old," he
said, "Sho cares nothing for me; sh
cannot. Hiio doesn't oven know me.
The wholo thing was a bit of parental
foolishness, but nevertheless thcro Is
the question of my duty. I shall leave
for New York the day after to-morrow.
I will see Helen, and upon what she
says and does depends all. I may
havo done wrong, Mary, In lingering
here, but I loved you, and let that
fact plead for mo." Ho left her stand
ing there, Just as tho last bird voices
of tho day wcro hushed and tho whip
poorwill took up his nightly chant
Two days later Georgo Schuyler
stood in a Fifth avenue drawing-room
waiting for the coming of Holen
Ganzovoort Tho lights were bright
On tho wall hung a picture of Helen
as ho had last known her nlno yoars
before as a child. The eyes seemed
to look at him reproachfully.
There was a light step behind him.
no turned quickly, For a moment
ho felt frozen, then the blood went
through him like a torrent In front
of him In evening dross stood the girl
whom but 48 hours before ho had left
on the mountainside, "Mary," bo said.
Something like a smile came into tha
girl's face. "Not Mary, George," she
said, "but Helen," George Scbuylor'a
mind was bofogrfed, "I don't under
stand," ho stammered.
"It's easily understood, George," she
laughed, "You didn't suppose for n
moment, did you, that. I wished to
marry a man I never had aobu and
who I know was to aiarry mo from
sheer force of duty? Your mother
told me you were going to stop nt the
llenvcrktll to fish, and Mr. Tayson,
who Is nn old family friend, and Giles,
who Is nn old family servant, and who,
by tho way, made a good fanner, did
tho rest."
"Holen, what do you think of me?"
"I think, George, that you Nil In
love with mo for what I am, and"

MACHINE TO DLOW GLASS.
On of tho Mcxt Marvelaut Contrlv
iters In tho Worlil of lml miry.
Glass has nt last been successfully
bkiwu by machinery nnd, as has gen
erally been tho case whoa mechanical
means supersede hand method, all
feats of hand-blowing have been out
done. Tho secret of the remarkable Inven
tion is still hidden, but specimens of
the work done have been shown. Tho

Tho now mnuhluo Is the Invention of
John A. I.tibbv, a glasshlowcr of Al

Alexandria, Ind., branch of tho Ameri

Tho process of blowing window glass
Is simple In theory, but difficult In
practice. On the end of a long tube
a mass of molten glas Is collected.
This Is then heated In n furnace and
gradually distended by blowing Into a
ktrau tube with straight sides. -
To accomplish this without tho pecu
liar twisting and manipulation employ
ed by the hamnn xMssblower has puz

a collector of medloval things. A cer
tain clever workman In stone made to
the order of a dealer In modloval an
tiquities a Venetian chlmneyplece of
the flfteonth century, and received for
his work some two or three thousand
francs. Tho denier shipped tho chim
ney pi eco to Italy, and had It set up
In a palace near Vcnlco, bringing back
to Paris photographs of tho palace and
of tho chlmnorplece In situ. By means
of these photographs ho aroused the
Ink-rest of a rich collector, who sent
his secretary to Vcnlco to mako snre
that the photographs did not llo, and
on his favorable report, bought the
thing for fifty thousand francs. On
the arrival of tho article at his house
in Paris, ho sent for some workmen i
to open tho caies. One of them appear- j
ed to him to go about the work rather!
carelessly, and he remonstrated with
the man, who answered, "Havo no
fear, sir. I know Just how it needs
to bo opened, for I packed It when it
