Mrs. Northup’s Lodger | A Marvellous Showing. ij aS ’A *■( I The U. S. Government, through the Agri cultural Department, has been investigating the baking powders for the purpose of in forming the public which was the purest, most economical and wholesome. The published report shows the Royal Baking Powder to be a pure, healthful preparation, absolutely free from alum or any adulterant, and that it is greatly stronger in leavening power than any other brand. Consumers should not let this valuable information, official and unprejudiced, go unheeded. g By AUGUSTA LAMED. (Copyright, 1881, by American Press Associa tion.) CHAPTER L ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 106 WALL ST., NEW-YORK. was made happy by being allowed to fasten them to the young lady’s bodice. It was a warm June morning, and birds caroled in the tall elms along Grove street. Housemaids were opening parlor shutters or sweeping off verandas with a snatch of song on the lips, and that peculiar .flirt of the broom that betokens fine weather and a light heart. The milkman’s wild cry was' expiring at one end of the long street just as the news boy’s shrill yell broke the silence at the other. Shadows lay cool on the brown road, and the town gardens exhaled their sweetest odors. It was just at this moment that Mrs. Northup’s lodger turned into Grove street on her way to the postoffice., Mrs. Northup’s house was not on Grove street. There were no such humble little houses, with a garden the size of a pockethand kerchief and a bit of drying lawn at the back, on that fashionable thoroughfare. All the dwellers on Grove street were carriage people, with ample incomes and everything handsome about them. Mrs. Northup was only the wife of a conduct or on the Appledale line, with a salary of less than a thousand a year. Her house stood in Ford’s alley, and the bit of garden above mentioned abutted on the railway, so that the house was shaken by passing trains many times a day. The alley was filled with small mechan ics’ houses and stables, and was not a conspicuously clean little street, and the nearness of the main line, where day and night the trains whizzed past, and steam whistles emitted unearthly shrieks, made it not an ideal country residence. But Mrs. Northup’s house was a shin ing oasis amid the litter and disorder of Ford’s alley. Northup was what the neighbors called a snug man, fond of delving in his garden during his spare time, and with an inherent streak of neatness, much furthered by Mrs. North up’s good management. As Northup was away much of the time and there was only one child, Margery, a quiet little maid of five, Mrs. Northup let two of her rooms to lodgers. It was the new lodger who had the west corner room Mrs. Northup gazed after now, as she walked away toward- the turning of Grove street. A reserved, quiet young girl, Mrs. Northup could make nothing of her, and the expression on the good woman’s face was puzzled and dissatis fied. Miss March seemed always to be writ ing, and the landlady when she looked into her room saw her lodger’s dark head bent over a table covered with papers between her and the light. But Mrs. Northup had confided that morning to John, while in the act of shaving, that the new lodger, though she kept so close and said nothing about her folks and never made free with anybody, was a perfect lady. Though she had been in the house a month, John Northup had only caught sight of the young lady two or three times as she passed in and out of the little garden gate, but his wife had imparted to him all her ideas concerning the new lodger, until he felt a mysteri ous respect for this girl—as if her pres ence in his household had raised the standing of his family in Littlefield. “Pays her rent right on the nail,” said his wife, as she served his breakfast, “and has got a brother at college named Will ard. There are only two of them in the world, and she expects Willard to do great things. I mistrust she is helping pay Willard’s way by her writing, and don’t let him know what a struggle she has to live and keep soul and body together, poor thing. Do you know, John, I wake lip in the night and think about that girl- sometimes. I’ve noticed marks of crying round her eyes, and it’s been borne in on me she is very poor.” “You always was softhearted, Nelly,’’ the laconic John responded, as he took his hat to go to the station. On this fine June morning Mrs. North up watched Miss March as she went, down the alley—a tall, slender young girl, with abundant brown hair and large gray eyes. “She’s got style,” thought Mrs. North up,- “if her dresses are poor, sleasy stuff, »11 black and without a frill or plait. I never could get my dresses to set like hers anyway whatever. But it’s her fig- ger, I guess. Yes, she has got a beauti ful figger, and I am dumpy, and always was. And the becomingness of that black hat of hers, without ever a plume or an artificial, is something wonderful. I do hope she’ll get a letter today with good news. Sometimes I think I can tell by the way she steps whether the right kind of a letter has come.” Miss March went slowly up Grove street toward the center of the town breathing the early morning freshness. She; too, was thinking of the letter or no letter that lay at the end of her walk to the postoffice with a kind of shivery dread, half hoping it would not be there, that the matter might still hang in doubt,' and the fatal day be put off to give her courage to go on with the work. She walked very slowly up the street, lingering Itxe a truant schoolboy who dreads the feruling he is sure to get at last. If only the letter should not be there the chances would seem brighter. She had dreamed the night before of a ship sailing- before the wind. A bad sign; But now a flock of pigeons came over from the right of Holder’s pigeon cotes, three black and two white. How superstitious she had grown! What a poor, feeble minded creature! And she almost laughed aloud at her folly. Miss March was not a very strong minded young woman, I am sorry to say. She put considerable faith in a number of foolish little signs and omens. She did not like to see the new moon over her She A MOTHER’S MAXIM’S NEW IDEA.

With an imaginative temper she had an instinct ive belief in presentiments. Now, the little cold shudder that ran down her spine betokened bad news, and she walked dejectedly into the postoffice. The clerk at the window knew her-face and gave her a glance of recognition as he pushed out a large, bulky envelope. Miss March’s hand trembled as she reached it forth, and there was a terrible sinking sensation, as if her young limbs had suddenly given way and refused to sustain her. She thrust the sad, telltale packet into the pocket of her gown, as if afraid the loungers about the postoffice might guess that her story had been re jected. “Poor Willie! poor Willie!” she kept saying to herself. Never again would she doubt the truth of presenti ments. She hardly knew how she got through the long passage to the street or down the steps without falling, things looked so dark to her young eyes, and a feeling of despair was in her heart. The morn ing sun had mounted higher and was casting down broad waves of steamy neat. The smell of the June roses in the gardens made her faint. She made a long detour on the way home, not know ing just where she was going, careless of the crossings and turnings, but with an inward necessity of keeping on her feet. She passed the little bake shop un heeding where she was accustomed to buy her breakfast rolls; for the walk to the postoffice was taken, before the morn ing meal, and on her Jfajm-n she habitu ally fired up her littlAoil stove, boiled water for her coffee and cooked an egg. But now all thought of breakfast had gone out of her head with the total de parture of appetite She wandered -along, feeling nothing but the acuteness of her disappointment, that sent a coldness through her limbs and made her fingers chilly until she woke up out of this blackness of darkness, this dumb and tearless misery,- to find herself in a poor, ill smelling part of the Irish quarter, where the untidy houses stood close to gether, and children with bare feet and unwashed faces were hanging about the doors. Among these stood a tiny cottage with white curtains and morning glory vines at the windows, and in .front a neat bed of nasturiums and scarlet ge raniums. The Yankee thrift of the little house was in such marked contrast to the other tenements in which it was bedded. Miss March glanced at it with a feeble ray of interest. A tall, thin old woman in faded double gown and slippers, with long, gray curls, was out in the yard watering her plants and plucking away the dead leaves. A cer tain gentility and elegance, an air of old fashioned grace and good breeding clung to the old lady’s figure, and printed its image on Edith’s memory. For a mo ment the trouble seemed to melt away from her heart, and she turned her steps dejectedly toward Ford’s alley. Mrs. Northup, that discerning woman, had been looking out for her young lodger. She saw her approach, and said to herself: “She’s had a blow of some kind, poor thing. She looks perfectly beat- down and discouraged.” The land lady’s ample person filled the doorway, and herbroad smile Jiad a ray of warmth and human kindness. “Come right in and breakfast with me, ” was the greeting she gave to Edith. “You look tired and warm from your walk, and Margery will be so glad to have you eat with us. I never saw a child that loved company as she does. Northup had to get off on the early run and we are just sitting down. There are plenty of strawberries, and I have made a fresh cup of coffee." Miss March could not resist her: land lady’s pleading. She went languidly into the neat little dining room, where the table was set out with its snowy cloth. The fatal package in her pocket weighed like lead, and she suspected Mrs. Northup of having detected its pres ence through the folds of her gown. Margery came from the garden; and sidled up to Miss March with a bunch of old fashioned cinnamon roses in her hand, and was made happy by being allowed to fasten them to the young lady’s bodice.

Mr. Cleveland’s Hotel Bill. W. L. D ouglas T by G ibmea for breakfast. Long jumping must be something worth looking at when the winning jump is some 70 feet long. That is the sort ot thing they have in Norway, as news from Christiania tells us. The champion jump er at the great annual meeting at Stock holm made a record by covering 70 feet, and the other competitors all managed to come between 44 and 66. This is certain ly more exciting than our champion jump of 23 feet and a few inches. The Nor wegians, it is true, dp not jump as we do. The jump run is down a hill 200 feet high, in the middle of which a spring board' is set six feet above the ground, and it is from this that the jump is taken. But aided or not that 70 feet flight through space is a portentous feat. The Norwegian women, too, tuck up their skirts and go at it. Truly a sight for the sons of the vikings.—St. J ames Gazette. It costs a pretty penny to be inaugu rated president if one does it in good style. Mr. Cleveland had to provide so large a suite of apartments and secure so much privacy for his traveling party at the Arlington during his brief stay there before taking' the oath of office that it cut into his bank account at the rate of $450 a day. This expense, kept up for a year, would reach the handsome total of $164,250, or more than three times the salary of the presidential office. It is an economical device, therefore, for the American people to set their presi dent up at housekeeping instead of com pelling him to “live around.”—Kate Field’s Washington. a little now and then in removing offend ing matter from the stomach and bowels and yon "thereby avoid a multitude of distressing de rangements and dis eases, and will have less frequent need of your doctor’s service. Of all known agents for this pur pose, Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are the best. Once used, they are al ways in favor. Their secondary ef fect is to keepthe bowels open and regular, not to fur ther constipate, as' is the case with other pills. Hence, their great popularity with sufferers from habitual constipation, piles and their attendant discomfort and manifold derangements. The “Pellets” are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless in any condition of the system. No care is required while using them; they do not interfere with the diet, habits or occupa tion, and produce no pain, griping or shock to the system. They act in a mild, easy and natural way and there is no reaction after ward. Their help lasts. .The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite, coated-tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia, ■windy belchings, “heartbum,” pain and distress after eating, and kindred derange ments of the liver, stomach and bowels. In proof of their superior excellence, it can be truthfully said, that they are always adopted as a household remedy after the first trial. Put up in sealed, glass vials, therefore always fresh and reliable. One little “Pellet” is a laxative, two are mildy cathartic. As a “dinner pill,” to promote digestion, or to relieve distress from over eating, take one after dinner! -They are tiny, sugar-coated granules; any child will readily take them. Accept no substitute that may be recom mended to be “just as good.” It may be better for the dealer, because of paying him a better profit, but he is not the one who needs help. Woman’s Sure Friend.
