Mm, Llm-ota, who knew nothing of ttii exposure, loudly lamented the extreme delicacy of ber ilrt iiyliif r' constitution, Imputing l wholly o Mount H'dyoke dis cipline, and winning, a she bad often don before, that 'he'd Into wis and kept tier at home," Jenny would bar wbthed , Um, If by tbl mesa Hose's Utueaa rould hare been avoided, for It waa not very agreeable tank to atay In that rlosa xlik room. listening to th complaint of ber fault-finding sister, wbo toaaed and turned ami fretted, from morning until night sometime wishing herself dead, and then crying because ah "wanted something, and did not know what."., ... ........ .. Ob! dear." aald she. oua evening sev eral daya after the rammeneetnent of bar Illness, "bow provoking to b obliged to II here mopii't with the dullest of all dull company when there's XI r. Russell party next week, and I've surh a lovely dress to wear. Why ain't I aa strong and healthy a yonttbongb' I wouldn't be o fat for anything. . I'll go to that party alck or well, I wouldn't niise It for anything." Jenny looked up In aurprlae, aaklng v why her elater wn o particularly anx loua to attend the party. ," Heeue," returnei Hose, "Mary How ard will be there, and you know aa well a I how awkward she'll appear never waa In any kind of society Id her life. "I don't ae what Inducement that can be for yon to expose yonr health," aaid Jenny, and Rose continued: "I want to aee Ida mortified once, for ahe might know better than to bring green country girl here, aettlng her up aa eontethlng wonderful, and expecting everybody to believe it junt because Miss Belden aald an. Come, bring me my dress, Jenny: I want to aee If the Honl ton lace on the capa ia aa wide aa Ida BeldenV- "' - r--j f 4, jj ij "What do you meanf aaked Jenny, turning quickly toward her alater, wbnao white, waated face looked fitter for a ahroud than gay party dreae. "I mean what I aay," returned Roae; "I'm not going to be cooped np here any longer. I'm going to the party to-morrow night. If I never go again." "Why, Itoie Lincoln, are yon craxyf atked Jenny. "You haven't been in tbe atreet yet, and how dd yon expect to go to-morrow night? Mother wouldn't let you. If ahe were here.' ;- , r -r "Well, thank fortune! ahe and father both are In Southbrldge; and beaides that I'm great deal better; ao band we my ClriMtS u V-C" - -4 j'' ' Jenny compiled, and recliutng on' pil low acarcely whiter than heraetf, ltoae Lincoln examined and found fault with thin goaamer fabric, little auited for anyone to wear on a cold, wintry night, and much leaa for her. "There, I knew It waan't a wide aa Ida'a Into an eighth or an inch," aald ahe, meaaurlng wltU her finger the expensive lace. "I'll have aorue new. Come, Jen ny, auppoae you go down atreet and get it, for I'm bent upon ; going;" and tbe thoughtlcaa girl aprang lightly upon the floor, and cbaaed halfway acroaa - the room to ahow how well and atrong ahe waa. Jenny knew that further expostulation from her waa uaeleaa, but ahe refuaed to go for the lace, and Sarah, the aervant girl, waa aeut with a note from ltoae aaying ahe wanted nice article, eight or ten dollar per yard. "I don't believe father would like to have you make auch a bill, aald Jenny, when Sarah waa gone. "Mother didn't dare to tell him about your now dress, for he told her ahe mustn't get anything charged, and he aald, too, something about bard times. Perhaps he'a going to fail. Wouldn't It be dreadful I" If Rose heard the last part of thla sentence ahe did not hoed It, -for to her the Idea of her father' failing waa pre poateroua. When the dinner bell rang ahe threw on a heavy shawl and de scending to the Jlnlng-parlor, remained below atalr all the afternoon, forcing back her cough, and ; chatting merrily with (roup of young girls wbo had called to aee her, and congratulated her upon her Improved health, for excitement lent deep glow to hoc cheek, which would easily deceive the Inexperienced. The next day, owing to overexertion, Hose' temple were throbbing with pain, and more than, once ahe half-determined not to go; but her passion for society was atrong, "and Mrs. Russell's party hnd 0 long been anticipated and talked about that she felt ahe would not miss it for the world, 'and, as she had confessed to Jenny, there was also a mean curiosity to see how Mary Howard would appear at a fashionable party. "Saturate my handkerchief with co logne, and put the vinaigrette where I can reach it while you arrange my hair," he aaid to Baarah, who at the usual hour came up to dress her young mis tress for the evcuing. "There, be careful and not brush so hard, for that ugly pain Isn't quite gonenow bring me the gluss and let me aee if I do look like a ghost." "Pale, delicate folks Is always more Interesting than red, hearty ones," said the flattering servant, "Mercy, how white I ami" exclaimed Rose, glancing at the ashen face reflect ed by the mirror. "Rub my cheeks with cologue, Surah, and ace, if that won't bring some color into them. .There, that'll do; Now hand me my dress. On, Isn't it beautiful?" ahe continued, as she threw aside the thickly wadded double gown and assumed a light, thin dress, which fell In fleecy folds around her alight figure. When her toilet was completed Rose stood up' before the long mirror, and a glow of pride came to her cheeks aa ahe saw how lovely she really was. "You's enough sight handsomer thai Miss Jenny," whispered Harsh as the door opened and Jenny appeared more Imply arrayed than her sltr, but look ing a fresh and blooming a rosebud. "How beautiful you are. Rose," she said, "only it make m shiver to look at your neck and arms. You'll wear your woolen sack, beside your shawl and cloak, won't you?" "Nonsense, I'm not going to be bun dled up tbl wy, for don't you aee It mnsaea the lace," aald Rose, refusing tbe warm aack which Jenny brought her. ; A rap at the door and call from Henry that tbe earring wa waiting ended the renrersstion, and, tbrowlng on their rloaka and hoods, the girls de scended to tbe ball, where, with unusual tenderness, Henry caught np hi Invalid sister, and, drawing the veil closely over her face, carried ber to the covered lelgh, ao that her feet might not touch the ley walk. 4 "What? Rose Uncolo here?" exclaimed half a dosen voice a .Rosa bounded into the dressing-room. . "Yea, Rose I4ncoln Is here," she re plied, gayly, devesting herself of her wrapping. "I'm not going to die Just let, I guess, neither am I going to be housed up all winter. The fresh air ha done me good already see," and ahe pointed to a blight, roond spot which burned her cheek. A young girl, whose fsmlly bad one by one fallen victims to tb great New England plague, consumption, shuddered and turned away, for to her eye the glow which Rose called health was but the hectic bloom of death. "How beautiful she UT said more than one, as with ber accustomed grace Rose entered the brilliant drawing-room. And truly Ros"wbs beautiful that night, but like the gorgeous foliage of the fading autumn, 'twas the beauty of decay, for death was written on her blue-veined brow, and lurked amid the rose on her cheek. Hut little thought she of that, a with smiling lip and beaming eye she received the homage of tbe admiring throng. . Jnt then Ida and Mary were an nounced. Dotb Aunt Martha and Ida had taken great pa Ids to have their young friend becomingly ' dressed, and she looked unusually well In the em broidered muslin skirt, aatln waist and blonde bertha which Aunt Martha had Insisted upon ber accepting as a present The rich silken bralda of her luxuriant hair were confined at th back of her finely formed bead with a golden arrow, which, with the exception of a plain band of gold on each wrist, was the only or nament sb wore. This was her first in troduction to the gay world, but so keen waa her perception of what waa polite and proper that none would ever hare su.epected It; and yet there waa about Iter something so fresh and unstudied, that she had hardly entered the room ere many were atruck with her easy, un affected manners, ao different from the practiced airs of the city belles. 1211a watched ber narrowly, whispering aside to Henry how sorry she felt for poor Mary, ahe waa ao verdant, and real ly hoped ahe wouldn't do anything very awkward, for 'twould mortify her to death! "Put look," ahe added, "and aee how many people Ida la Introducing her to." "Of course, why shouldn't she?" asked Jlenry; and Ella replied: ' , . "I don't know it seems' so funnyj to ae Mary here, doesn't It?" - Before Henry could answer, a young man of his acquaintance touched hi shoulder, saying: "Lincoln, who la that splendid-looking girl with Miss Selden? I haven't seen a finer face in Boston for many a day." , . . "That! Oh, that's Miss Howard, from Chicopee. An Intimate friend of our family. Allow me the pleasure of in troducing you," and Henry walked away, leaving Ella to the tender mercies of Rose, who, as one after another quitted her side and went ore to the "enemy," grew very angry, wondering if folks were bewitched, and hoping Ida Seldon "felt better, now that she'd made ao many notice her protege ; ' ' ; Later in the evening,' William Bender came, and Immediately Jenny began to tuik to him of Mary, and the Impression she was making. , Placing her hand familiarly upon hla arm, as though that were It natural resting place, she led him toward a group, of which Mary seemed the center of attraction, Near her stood Henry Lincoln, redoubling his flattering compliments in proportion aa Mary grew colder and more reserved in her manner toward him. Silly and con ceited as he was, he could not help no ticing how differently she received AVill lam Bender from what she had himself. "But all In good time," thought v he, glancing at Ella, to aee how she was af fected by his desertion of her and his flirtation with her sister. She was stand lug a little apart from any one, and with, her elbow resting upon a marble stand, her cheeks flushed, and her eyelashes moist with the tears she dare not shed, she was watching with Teelings In which more of real pain than jealousy was min gled, for Ella was, weak and simple hearted, and loved Henry Lincoln far better than such a he: deserved to bo Joved. . ;,'''" '": "Of what are you thinking, Ella?"' asked Rose, who finding herself nearly alone, felt willing to converse -with al most anyone. ' - ' ' At the sound of her voice Ella looked up, and coming quickly to her side, said: "It's so dull and lonesome here, I wish I'd stayed at home." ' ; jt In her heart Rose wished so, too, but she Was too proud to acknowledge i; and feeling unusually kind toward Ella, whose uneasiness he readily understood,' she replied: "Oh, 1 see you are jealous of Henry, but 'he's only trying to tease you, for he can't bo interested in that awkward thing." "But he is, I almost know he is," re turned Ella, with a trembling of the voice she tried In vain to subdue; and 4hen, fearing she could not longer re strain her rJBotlon, ahe suddenly broke away fro Ku, and ran hastily up to th dressing-room. Nothing of all tbl escaped Uenry'a quick eye, and aa sundry unpaid bill cam looming np before hi mind, be thought proper to make some amend for his negtect. Accordingly, when Ella returned to the drawing room be offered her hi arm, asking: "What mad her eyes so red," and slyly pressing her hand, when ah averted her face, aaying: , "Nothlng-they weren't red." Meantime, William Bender, having managed to drop Jenny from bis arm, had asked Mary to accompany bun to th con servatory. Aa they stood together, ad miring rare exotic, William's manner suddenly changed, and drawing Mary closer to bis side, he aald distinctly, though hurriedly; "1 notice, Mary, tbat you seem embarrsssed In my presence, and I have, therefore, sought this oppor tunity to assure you thst I shall not aguls distress you by a declaration of love, which, If returned, would now glv me more pain than pleasure, for aa I told you at Mr. Selden', I am changed la more respects than one. It cost me a bitter struggle to give you up, but rea son and judgment finally conquered, and now I can calmly think of you a some time belonging te another, and with all a brother's confidence can tell you that I, too, love another not as once I loved you, for that would be imp&uibla, but with a calmer, more rational love." All this time Mary had not spoken, though the band which Willism had tak en In bis trembled like an imprisoned bird; but when he came to peak of lov ing another, ahe involuntarily raised his hand to ber lips, exclaiming, "It's Jenny, If Jenny!" - . "Yon hav guessed rightly," returned William, amiling at tbe earnestness of her msoner. It Is Jenny, though how such a state of things ever came about i more than I can tell yon." Fearing that they nilirht lie missed, they at last return d the parlor, where they found1 Ella m- fe t nt, the piano, play Ing a very spliit.-d pi.l'.a. Henry, who boasted he" "could wind her around his little finger," had succeeded in coaxing ber Into good humor, but not at all de airing ber company for the rest of the evening, he asked her to play aa the easi est way to be rid of her. When she look ed around for commendation from th one for whose ear alone ahe had played she saw him across the room wholly enj grossed with ber sister. . Poor Ells! it wa with. the saddest heartache ahe had ever known that ah returned from a party which had prom ised her so much pleasure, and which had given her so much pain. Rose, too, waa utterly disappointed. One by on her old admirers had left ber for the so ciety of th "pauper," as she secretly atyled Mary, and more than once during the evening had abe heard the "beauty" and "grace" of her rival extolled by those for whose opinion she cared the most; and when at 1 o'clock In the morn lug ahe threw hersetr exhausted upon the sofa, ahe declared, " 'twaa the last party she'd ever attend." ' Alas, for thee. Rose! that declaration proved too true! s (To be continued. l HUNTING WITH THE CAMERA. A DeliKhtfal and Profltabl War af MaJylns; Mini Life. Of the many delightful birds I had the good fortune to know, tbe worin eatlng warbler family have afforded me the greatest pleasure; for they be come absolutely fearless of the cam era, and they place a degree of trust lo one that waa as unusual as It was de lightful. Being anxious to secure pho tographs of the young, I paid frequent visits to the nest, and what a wonder fully concealed nest It was, tucked away in a small depression and hidden by the roots of an oak sapling. It would forever have remained undiscovered by me had I not, by lucky chance, observ ed one of the parent birds visiting It Only at first did the owners object to my Intruding, aud by various methods did they try to coax me away from their home. First one and then the other would feign broken wings, and half rolling, half scrambling, they would make their way down tbe steep hillside In the hope of luring me away. Then, finding that I was not to be taken In even by such aa artful device, they endeavored to accomplish their object by scolding at me. In less than two hours they quieted down aud simply looked ou in silence. Tbe next time I visited the nest they made no objec tions, and I imagined they recognized me, and realized that I meant no hnrm either to themselves or to their young, for these had hatched bIiico my last visit, , ,. 9 iJ . '; . r. .V Day by day I came to watch the little fellows, and they grew rapidly, as all young birds do, Finally they were ready to make their 11 rat venture into the great world that should not acci dent befall them, was to be their feed ing ground for many years to come. As I looked Into the nest the family of fledglings scrambled out as though they had been scattered by some invis ible hand, so nearly simultaneous was their action, and tu less time than It takes to tell It each little mite of down and rust-colored feathers was hidden among the dead, crackling leaves with which the ground was strewn. Though I, had tried my best to watch where each bird concenled Itself, It was some time before , I collected them all pre paratory to photographing them. Of course the parents were greatly excited birds always are when their young first leave the nest and when they saw the entire brood captured by one whom they had considered ' a friend they seemed to regret having placed ho much confidence in me. But only for a very short time did their doubts con tinue. As soon as I placed the young sters on a suitable perch: they both ceased to utter that lisping note of anx ious protestation, and to show that they no longer feared uie they hopped about on the camera while I was arranging It World's Work.

Aackat Pteific Whaler Cow oa the Rocks la Bthrinf Sea. Seattle, July 5. The whaler Bala ena, of Ban Francisco, belonging to the Pacific Steam Whaling Company, lies on St. Lawrence Island, 20 miles west of Southeast cape, in Behring sea, a total wreck. Captain P. F. Cotte and the CO men in the crew bad an almost miraculous escape from death. Through the bravery of the officers all escaped to shore. The Balaena was on a voyage to the Arctic. She was provisioned for 30 months. The whaler left San Fran cisco April 4. and, after battling with the ice for weeks, bad succeeded in working through the worst of the floe. She - was headed to pass St. Lawrence island when the wreck oc curred. Shortly after midnight, May 1, the wind rose until it assumed the strength of a gale, and the whaler was driven to a point 20 miles west of Southeast cape, St. Lawrence island, where she struck a rock. The cap tain immediately ordered the boats out. The whaler seemed to have been hung on the rock, and, although the waves were pounding her terribly, she did not founder. In a very short time the boats were manned and the crew started for the shore. The sea was so high that it was impossible for the boats to keep together, but they all made the island eventually. The hinds and feet of several are badly frozen. The Balaena ia a total wreck. She is hanging to the rock where she struck, but is liable to slip off into the water and sink at any time. She struck on the port side and crashed a hole fully 12 feet in the length of her hull: L RESERVOIRS WERE DRY. Fir Raged la the Heart Huntington, W. Vs. Low is $200,000. Huntington, W. . Va., July 5. A fire raged in the heart of the city from 11 o'clock this morning until 6 o'clock this evening, resulting in the loss of $200,000. The flames started in a hotel which was crowded with guests, many of whom were women. Of these a number fainted when the alarm of fire rang out through the halls, and it was with great difficulty that they were re moved from the building. There was not a gallon of water in the city re servoirs when the fire broke out and all the fire engines in the city were out of repair. Rapidly the flames spread and soon half a dozen rest dences were ablaze. A livery stable and a number of private houses fruit stores, barber shops and dozens of smaller structures were burned.

The students to the number of 300 held a publio meeting. Stirring speeches were made, showing the intense feeling of .the young men and denouncing the recent immoral ities of the few priests, who, it was claimed, had been shielded and not punished. A company of gendarmes preserved order and the demonstration was wit nessed by Governor Coral, of the fed eral district.

TELLUniDE STRIKE ENDS. Miners Rsgsrd th Tsrm af StttUmeat m Practical Vkiory. ' Telluride, Colo., July 9. With the positive information from Lieutenant Governor Coates, a member of the commission appointed by thegovernot to investigate the strike in the Smug' gler-Union mine, that Governor Oraian would not send troops, and with the assurance from the mine managers of the district . that they could not longer afford to close down, Arthur L. Collins, manager of tha Smuggler-Union mines, has conceded several points, and a settlement be tween himself and the Miners' Union has been made. This ends the strike, and many miners will " returnto " work " im- mediately. The terms of settlement are looked upon as a victory for the miners, and tonight hundreds are celebrating in Telluride. The tension of the last four days has been removed and the miners and citizens alike are jubilant. The agreement was signed after a con ference lasting three hours. The miners declare that the settlement is a victory for them, but Manager Col lins claims that he is satisfied and tbat he has not conceded any material points. The local union held a meet ing tonight and declared the strike off. By the terms of the settlement non union men may be employed in the Smuggler-Union mines. It is certain, however, that the union miners will not allow non-union men to remain so any longer than they can help. The union ia permitted, through ita president or secretary, to declare a man incompetent and order his dis charge. This feature of the settle ment is a distinct advantage to the union, and will enable the union to regulate unionism in the mines. The secretary is given the right to visit the mine at any time, and can order the measuring of the men a work whenever he wishes, even though the man has worked but one hour. He can also order the payment of the men at any time. The Liberty Bell and Tomboy mines, which were closed during the Smuggler-Union trouble, will also open again. The following ia the agreement : , First The company agrees not ' to discriminate against the union or the members thereof, and the union and the members thereof agree not to molest nor nor interfere with non union men. Second The union expresses its entire disapproval of the recent out rages. Third The company agrees to let the president or secretary of the local union have full access to its surface property at all reasonable hours ; pro vided that the work of the men is not interfered with. Fourth The union agrees to use all its influence to stop the illicit sell ing of liquor in Marshall Basin or around the mine. . Fifth The company is to have the right to let contracts to any men who wish to take them, all such contracts to be on printed forms which are here after to be drafted by a representative of the union and a representative of the company. A TASTE OF FREEDOM. That Is All th Cubans Want, Says Central Gomez, Thta Annexation, New York, July 9. A dinner waa given tonight at the Union League club to General Maximo Gomez' and General T. Estrada Palma, by W. E. D. Stokes. Mr. Stokes was formerly a member of the Cuban league of Amer ica, and was closely identified with the work of the junta, of which Gen eral Palma was the head. The Cuban general made a brief speech, which was interpreted by General Gonzales. General Gomez said he was deeply touched by the remarkable reception he had received in the United States. Cuba and the United States, said the general, belong together. It is only a question of gravitation when they will be one. But at present, after the great struggle in which thousands of lives were sacrificed, and when men returned to their homes only to find their wives and children starved to death ' in the restricted barriers in which Weyler had them under his policy of concentration, they felt that they must have Cuban libre. It is now fully realized. He said that Cuba cannot get along without the United States, but the Cubans want to feel freedom. After dinner General Gomez said to the newspaper men that he wished to express his gratitude to the press of the United States and of the world for the great good they had done to the cause of Cuban libre. He was sure that the Cubans would now establish their own . government, and would show the gratitude they feel for the help of the Americans in removing the Spanish yoke. .
