"Ob, mother, won't you take this pil

with aching bead and lunirw ahe did pen

Mrs. Lincoln, who knew nothing f this
exposure, loudly lamented the extreme
delicacy of her daughter's constitution,

"I mean what I Bay," returned Itoe;

"Why, Hoae Lincoln, are you craayT

"Weil, tbahk fortune! ahe and father

Jenny complied, and reclining on pil
lows warct'ly whiter than heraelf, Itoao
Lincoln examined and found fault with
thin goatuner fabric, little auited for
anyone to wear on a cold, wintry night,
and much Icaa for her.
"There, I knew It waan't aa wide aa

Jenny knew that further expoatulntlon
from her waa tiacleaa, but ahe refuaed to
go for the Ince, and Sarah, the aervant
girl, waa Bent with a note from Koao
aylng ahe wanted a nice article, eight

"I don't believe father would like to

when Sarah was gone. "Mother didn't

If Itose heard tho last part of thla
sentence she did not hood It, for to her
the Idea of her father'a foiling was pre

she threw on a heavy shawl and de

below stairs all the afternoon, forcing

A rap at the door and a call from
Henry that the carriage waa waiting
ended tbe conversation, and, throwing
on their cloaka and hooda, the girls de
scended to the halj, when-, with nnususi
tenderness, Henry caught up hia Invalid
slater, and, drawing the veil closely over
her fsec, csrrled her to tha covered
sleigh, so that ber feet might not touch
tha Irr walk.
"What? Itose Lincoln here?" exclaimed
half a dosen voices as Itoaa bounded
Into the dreaslng room.
"Yea, Hose Lincoln la here," ahe re
plied, gayly, dlveating herself of her
wrapping. "I'm not going to die juat
jet, I guess, neither am 1 going to be
housed up all winter. The fresh air baa
done me good already see," and ehe
pointed to a bright, round spot which
burned her cheek.
A youug girl, whose family had one
by one fallen vletlme to the great New
England plague, conaumptlon, ahuddered
and turned away, for to her eye the
glow which Itose called health was but
tbe hectic bloom of death.
"How besutlfui she UT aald more than
one, aa with her accnatomed grace Koao
entered the brilliant drawing-room. And
truly Itoae waa beautiful that night, but
like the gorgeous fotisge of the fading
autumn, 'twaa the beauty of decay, for
death waa written on her blue-veined
brow, and lurked amid 4he rosea on ber
cheek. Hut tittle thought she of that,
as with smiling Up and beaming eye ahe
received tbe homage of the admiring
throng.
Juat then Ida and Mary were an
nounced. Itoth Aunt Martha and Ida
had taken great pains to huve their
young friend becomingly dreased, and
she looked unusually well In the em
broidered muslin skirt, aatln waist and
blondo bertha which Aunt Martha bad
Instated upon her accepting as a present
The rich silken braids of her luxuriant
hair were confined at the back of her
finely formed head with a golden arrow,
which, with the exception of a plain band
of gold on each wrist, waa the only or
nament she wore. This wss her first in
troduction to the gay world, but so ken
wss her perception of what waa polite
and proper that none would ever have
suspected It; and yet there waa about
her something ao fresh and unstudied,
that she had hardly entered the room
ere many were struck with her easy, un
affected mannera, so different from tne
practiced airs of the city bellea.
Ella wateuea ncr narrow ly, wniapering
aside to Henry how sorry she felt for
poor Mary, ahe was so verdant, and real
ly hoped ahe wouldn't do anything very
awkward, for 'twould niortiry ner to
death! "But look," she added, "and see
how many people Ida la introducing her
to."
"Of course, why shouldn't Bhe?" asked
Henry; and Ella replied:
"I don't know it aeems ao funnyj to
see Mary here, doesn't it?"
Before Henry could answer, a young
man of his acquaintance touched his
shoulder, saying: "Lincoln, who Is thnt
splendid-looking girl with Miss Selden?
I haven't soon a finer face In Boston for
many a day."
"That?, Oh, that'a Miss Howard, from
Chlcopeo. An Intimate friend of our
family. . Allow me tho pleasure of In
troducing you," and Henry walked away,
leaving, Ella to the tender mercies of
Rose, who, aa one after another quitted
her aide and went over to the "enemy,"
grew very angry, wondering If folks were
bewitched, and hoping Ida Seldon "felt
better, now that she'd made to many
notice her protege' "
Later In tho evening, William Bender
came, and Immediately Jenny began to
talk to him of Mary, and the lmpresalon
ahe was making. Placing her hand
familiarly upon his arm, as though that
were Ha natural resting place, she led
him toward a group, of which Mary
aeemed tho center of attraction. Near
her stood Henry Lincoln, redoubling hia
flattering compliments In proportion aa
Mary grew colder and more reserved In
her manner toward him. Silly and con
ceited as he waa, he could not help no
ticing how differently ahe received Will
iam Bender from what Bhe had himself.
"But all In good time," thought lw,
glancing at Ella, to see how Bhe waa af-
cent to make a general fall in the
temperature. Local thunder storms
will give temporary relief, but
weather bureau officials say that per
manent relief will not come until
for his nee-lect. Accordingly, when Ella
returned to tbe drawing room be offered
her his arm. askinc: "What made her
eyes ao red," and slyly prelng her hand.

Seattle, July 5. The whaler Bala
ena, of San 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 60 men in the crew baa
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. Bhe was provisioned for 30
months. The whaler left San Fran
cisco April 4. and, after battling with
tbe ice for weeks, bad succeeded m
working through the worst of the
floes. She was headed to pass fct.
Lawrence island when the wreck oo '
curred. Shortly after midnight, May
1, tbe wind rose until it assumed the
atrength of a gale, and the whaler
waa 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 bung 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
hands and feet of several are badly
frozen.

Huntington, W. Va., July 5. A

from 11 o'clock this rnorning until
5 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

when the alarm of fire rang out
through the halls, and it was with
great difficulty that they were re
