At the break fast-table that morning
Frank Hatfield's wife, one of the dear-
.eit and mot winning of women in the
f" rd, had'sahlto him:
"Have vow heard from brother Wal-
civet?""
5 "No. Maliel; not time yet, Yon.
auow he only left the day before j es
U't!ay. We w ill get a feller to-morrow,
maybe."
. 4"lo vou know, Frank, I am almost
vild iih curiosity to see his wife?
Such an dd notion of their, to put off
heir wedding-trip for three months
tfier they were married!"
i "Wanted to make it in ideas&nt
Veather, I suppose," said Frank
- "Any how.. they'll be herein ten dars;
& oon ai hi business is arrnnjred."
and Malxl Hatfield's almost pirlish
face loamed with delight at the thought
; for she almost idoliel her "brvuher
Walter."
Such had Wen in part, the talk of
the bifakfast-table, and there had not
been in all the city a sunnier face than
.that with which" Frank Hatfield had
said good-bye to his dear little wife
and rosy-faced baby boy; but now,
. half an hour later, he sat in his down
i town office scowling at a bit of crttni
pled pajier on the table , In-fore him
ith an expression of countenance
"hich might fairly be thought to in-

"But how did it happen?"
I can't tell, Frank. I onlv know

"The pocket-book!" j
"Yes, it was at the railway-station.1

"I wrote to her that I was detained j

sent for von."
'I didn't get ronr note till this morn
ing." "Some mistake or other. But here
I am, trapped, and what to do I do
not know."
"Oh, I can get you off easy enough;
it's an old game of the pickpockets.
All I have got to do is to prove who
, 3 011 are," said Frank. t
t "But I don't want to prove who I
am; it would half kill Mabel, and just
about murder Florence. You don't
know how sensitive she is. No; I must

": 'You must take the responsibility of
all this deception then." said Frank;
and after a great deal of hesitation the
" young lawyer allowed himself to be
overpoweretl into giving the required
promise, but left the station-house and
. returned to his office a troubled and
3 anxious-hearted man.
And so it was when Frank Hatfield
. .went home that evening and silently
janded Mabel an unpotM missive,
orer"wEh?tr4?feiUe eyes glintened and
which made her kiss the baby twice,
. he did so with a flush on his cheek and
.. ; a cloud on bis brow which never left
i him the whole evening.
Of course Frank kept his promise of
secrecy, but at the expense of a red
lace and a flustered mannet.
not half sure that his conscience had
not canght him in several pretty equiv
ocations or well-defined fibs'. More
-,han that, Mabel was quite well aware
.hat she had not penetrated, her hus

ye daughter of Eve as to curiosity,
-Jt as self-willed and imperious a little
ootiy as she was loving, with a good
deal of that peculiar element of char-
- icteroutof which jealousy is manu
actured under favorable circumstances;
,.sd so. though at first she tried not
show it, Mabel was more than a
- j offended, and Frank, poor fellow!
Wd not help seeing and feeling it.
And thus the next day passed and

trunk did not go home to dinner
that day. of he might have discovered
that nurse had been left alone willi the
baby, and bis wife had "gone out," no
one knew whither. So, I it uncomfortable
ignorance of the dangers that beset
him, he went to the railway-station
that afternoon and waited for a lady
who should resemble as nearly as pos
sible the miniature likeness wliich bad
been shown him, and he found hervery
readily. There was no chance of mis
taking the striking, nervous-looking
beauty, and, in fact, a he advanced to
meet "her the trembling lips parted
slightly, just enough to sav:

"And vou are Florence?"
Oh, frank, where is my husband?
Why is he not here?"
lie is safe ami well, I assure yon,
and yon shall soon see him."
Hut I don't understand. Why Is
all this mysterv and deception?"
"I can't explain here, said Frank,
"but if yon will get into a carriage I
will tell you as we go."
And Frank was determined to keep
his word, though he had almost as soon
have been convicted of burglary.
He was not aware of all his t rouble,
however. He had not noticed the
Veiled form that had followed him into
the station, nor hail his excited and
confused faculties takeu any note of
the fact that the same form sprang
lightly into a cab which drove oil' rap
idly after the carriage which contained
hiiii and Florence, When the latter
was polled up in front of an hotel the
cab also stopped at a little distance,
but the veiled lady did not pt out. She
leaned forward lo the window, mutter
ing:
"I knew there was something of the
sort. Oh, Frank, Frank I How could
you?"
And then the driver of the cab re
ceived fresh orders, and drove rapidly
away.
Florence had only gone into the ho
tel to gather her somewhat scattered
senses after listeuing to the news im
parted by Frank, and on the whole she
had sustained the shock much better
than he had exiected. In a few mo
ments for, with all her nervousness,
she was a brave and devoted wife
Florence declared herself ready.
"I must stop at my ollice for a mrv
ment," said Frank.
"Oh, but 1 am in such a hurry!" said
Florence.
"But it is only to leave a law paper
with my partner. He has Won at court
all day and I have not seen him."
Frank's office M as in a very busy
part of the city, and both he and Flor
ence had their heads too full of excit
ing thoughts to notice any particular
member of the hurrving throngs upon
i the pavement. Still, as the carriage
j pulled up at the curlv Frank remarked
. . i . i . . :
tiood! I won't have to go upstairs;
there's my partner now. ltrown! Eh,
Brown!"
Tho ETtttloman thus addressed had
been standing on the edge of the pave
ment as if waiting for someone, and
now came forward "with a remarkable
beaming expression of countenance.
Frank, mv bov, it's all right."
What's all rigltt?"
"Why, that Harry Taylor cae."
Frank Hatfield had to catch his
breath for a moment, but stammered:
II h how?"
"Why, there was a whole batch sent
nt this morninsr. and one of them
i confessed to putting the pocket-book
in Harry's jocket."
"Well, what did vou do?"
"Oh, the magistrate let him right out
at once, and Fve got him upstairs in
the ollice."
A gloved hand was on Frank's shoul-
j der, and a trembling voice was trying
to ask him
"Frank. Frank, isn't that Walter."
"Yes, it's Walter," said Frank Hat
field; but he was sorry enough the
next minute as he sat in the corner of
the carriage trying to recall the color
to the w hite ami beautiful face of Flor
ence, for she had fainted.
As for Brown, he had comprehended
the situation well enough to dash it
stairs, antl bv the time Florence had
recovered her senses she was in more j
tender hand than those of half-fright
ened Frank Hatfield.
And now the
carriage was Wing
whirled away tip town, for Frank was
urged bv something even stronger than
hospitality in his eagerness to reach
his clouded home. He could have no
patience with either horse or driver,
especially as Florence aud Walter
looked so provokingly loving and hap-
Home was reached at last, however,
and the somewhat irate driver reined
in his smoking horse in front of the
house. Frank sprang to the ground,
and never dreamed of aiding Walter;
but Florence by thistime was well able
to help herself."
It was not very late when they en
tered the house, antl Frank's latchkey
dispensed with bell-ringing and serv
ants. "Wait a moment in the parlor," said
Frank, "while I call Mattel."
And so saying, but with a big weight
upon his heart. Frank pushed onward
toward the sitting-room. As he threw
ojen the door Itefore him. however, he
was suddenly confronted by a lady in
full traveling costume, and a glance
beyond showed him a marvelous dis
array of trunks ami traveling-bags.
"Slabel. my dear "
A gloved hand held out to him a
small white envelope, while a husky
antl trembling voice said:
"Oood-bvc, Frank.'
"Malel "
"Isn't that Walter's
Walter, are vou here?"
"Yes, Mabel; here I
voice? Oh,
am safe and
sou ml."
"Oh, Walter take me away take me
home to mother's.'"
"But Mabel, what is the matter?
Frank has leen just the best old fel
low "
"Walter, there she is; I saw her at
the railway-station the very same wo
man; and now he's brought her here!
Walter, what does it mean?"'
"Mean! Why, Mattel come, Flor
ence Mabel, this is my wife, your sis
; ter, Florence. I've ls-en in trouble,
; and Frank has helped me through, like
a trump that he is; ami you are mad,
when you have got the best fellow in
. the world for a htis "
Mabel gave one look at her brother,
another into the wistful face of her
new sister; but she caught a glance of
the keen suffering in the trembling lips
of her husband, and with. "Oh. Frank,
; forgive me; I have been so foolish!"
Frank Hattield's worry was over.

A LITTLE CITV WAIF.
i Frnnt a Tonglt She U"a Reclaimed, tint It
V Too Much for Her onutltntlon.
One day, as I crossed Uosn street, a
little girfnbont ten years old was en-g.-igetFin
a rough-and-tumble fight with
a boy two or three years older. Wliiln
she was doing nobly, it wasn't a fair
light, anil I Interfered to protect her.
"What U It to you?" she holly de
manded, ns she turned on me with
Hashing eyes.
"But vou are a gill." I replied.
"Butt kin lick him if he'll light
fair!"
I drove him off, ami sat down on a
doorstep with her.
"tJirls shouldn't fight," I ssiid as the
raggetl ami unkempt child at iny side
grew cooler.
"Not if they are picked on?"'
"No."
"Then they'll call me a coward."
'But suppose they did? Yoti come
ot a cowardly sex. Women are not
brawlers antl' lighters. They are ten
tier and gentle, ami given to soft words.
and peaceful ways. v Here tlo you i
live?"
"Down a piece and up stairs." j
"Father and mother living?" j
"No; but dad ami mam Is. Had is I
over to the island; mam washes and j
scrubs." !
"Ami what do yon do?" j
'Mind the rooms mostly." j

"Kver been nut in the country?"
"Naw!" W here is it, and w hat is it;

Ami so I descriWd something of farm ;
life to her, telling her of the fields of!
grain, the green meadows, the barns j
and orchards ami farm-y aiils. Her vies :
opened wider and wider as I went on. j
but toward the end she grew suspicious ;
and said. j
"Say. what sort of a dove tlo you take (
me fur?" j
"But this is all true-upon my word i
it K" I
"Ion't believe it ? If it was, mam ;
would have, let on. Saj ! What d'je !

I want to talk with you a little;

"Kver see a cow or an ox?" ;
I've heard of 'cm, I guess." ;
"You have heart! of Little ltcd Biding I

"Can't remember."
"Never heard of OhI Mother Hub j

"Naw!" j
I "How alnint the house that Jack
What Jack? Was it the house in

j "You have heard of the Bible?" I
! continued, seeing that she was now in-

I "Yes."
j "What is it?"
I "I dunno!"
-j Where is heaven?"'
i v "Somewhere. I guess."
j "Didn't any one ricr tell you that
you must lc giHMl in order to go lo

j "Xaw! Mam say I must 1k good or

j "N'oap. Ditl vou?"
I repeated it for her, ami when I
through she said:
-Sa! I'll learn that some tlav
as
if
you'll try me!
Was it tpieer that I met her again
I and again at the same spot, ami that
i she was always on the lookout for me,
i ami that after the lirst meeting she be-
1 i gan to grow intore?-ted. She also
j grew- astiametl 01 her garments, ami 1
, noticed that she had tried to patch and
j mhnd. At the third or fourth meeting
! she had a clean face ami ht-r hair hail
i Ijeeu conils tl. I think the neighltors
! looked npon it as a great mystery, but
i if they quizzed the child she did not let
; me know it. We used to talk of the
i country, other cities and people, the
1 mountains ami plains, the ten thousand
; things she had never heard of. I
i watched her closely, antl I could see
jthat knowledge brightened her eves
' ami made her face more gentle. Little
! by little she dropped off her slang, ami
; little by little her mauner changed to
; the cov ness of her sex.
I reached the spot one afternoon to
; discover that she had failed me for the
; first time. In her hlace was a broad
! shouldered, red -faced woman, who
walked up to me and demanded:
"Are you the rapsctillion who has

"All of what, ma'am?"

Under The Chin.
J You may have heard travelers scoff
at the practical Frenchman w ho stuffs
j one corner of his napkin inside his
i shirt-collar and spreads it fully over
I the front of his person from lus chin
I down to his knees, writes Theodore
! Child in llircr's Bazar. This is the
practice of the French jwople of the
i middle antl lower classcs.who are thrif
' tv and prudent, ami who wish to cat at
' their ease and not spot their clothes.
There is nothing ridiculous in this
; practice. There is a reason, and an
' excellent reason, for so spreading the
; napkin, and if I were dining at home,
j or alone at a restaurant or club, and
j had on my spotless shirt and open
j waistcoat and clawhammer coat, all

j Mary's Utile Top.
j Mary had a little brute, as fat as it
j could waddle, and everywhere that
i Mary'd scoot this little pup would tod
dle. It tagged her down the street one
day, close up behind her btiggj-; oh,
how it loved to run away, this naughty
little puppy. 'Twas always doing
something wrong when Mary turned
her back; and-all the time he seemed
to long to walk the railroad track. Ono
dav. w hen Mary was at church, this
frisky little scamp thought he would'
leave her in the lurch and go and play
the tramp.' So down upon the ties he
trod, the one the poor tramps use, till
worn out on the track he squats and
drops into a snooze. He, fast asleep,
did not observe ah, sad indeed the
story the fast express come around
the curve; that pup went up to glory.
There came along a butcher man who
once had loved that pup, and with a
brush and big dust-pan he swept that
poor dog up. Next Wednestlay Mary
got him back; he did not look the
sanV; he would not come when she

Much has been said recently altotit
the jmlitical and historical side of the
life of Etuperor Don Pedro If. of
Brazil, now nu exile. But his private
life is iess known to Americans, whom
tie v isited. however, in l7fi. At that
time, when he was not scrutinizing
w irh deep interest the. marvels exhil
ltetl at the Centennial Exhibition. 01
w hen he was not traveling through the
United States, which he admired antl
lauded so warmly ami frankly he liked to
stay in New York, where he lived atthe
Buckingham Hotel. Here as in Paris,
where lie often rode on the top of omni
buses, Dom Pedro was fond of entering
a horse car anil having a chat with his
neighbors in the public vehicle, which
was an easy thing for hiui, as he spoke
!erfeet English.
The know ledge of many languages
was but a small part of the scholarly
acquirements of the Brazilian monarch,
who was as much ot a savant as of an ;
EtniHTor, antl who has been received,
not on account 01 nis iiue, out as a re
w ard for his numerous scientific works,
as a nienitter of the famous Institute of
Fi ance anil of most of the European
academies. His education was begun
by the venerable Bishon of Chryso
Mlis and by the famous Lilteral leader.

year old. lost his mother. Ieopoldine,

of Marie Louisp, the second wife of Na

when, in 1H:$!, his father, Dom .Pedro
L. abdicated in his favor and left
Brazil. The poor loy was thus left
quite alone in the world, and he felt
himself still more isolated when at 10
years of age. he heard of his father's
death in Portugal.

His residence at Uio Janeiro, which is
his own proitertv, as is his castle of
Petropolis, js called San Christovo.
The lmierial palace, former residence
of the Portuguese Viceroys, was in a
dilapidated condition, ami the Parlia
ment iuteuded to rebuild it for the use
of Do ill Pedro, who declined saying:
"How ca we think of building a
palace, when we have not enough
schools aud useful establishments."
During the Summer, which in the
Southern hemisphere corresponds to
Northern Winter, the Court resided at
the castle of Petropolis situated north
ward of Kio Jeneiro a half day's
journey. This is a charming place, !
which remiuds me of Saratoga, or Ems i
iu Europe. It is built on the side of a '
mountain, and surrounded with a real j
village, composed of villas Itelonging j
to tho high society of Kio Janeiro, to!
the mem Iters of the diplomatic Corps i
ami of the aristocracy of the Brazilian j
proviuces. j
Dom Pedro liked Tetropolis so much
that he used to leave it only on Satur
days to go to Kio to preside at the Miu- j
islcrs Councils, which were held at j

after his sojourn here. He ate so
rapidly that his guests, anxious to tn- j
swer the innumerable questions he con- .
stantly propounded to them often left
the table hungry. Once he was to open J
a railroad, and he had taken along w ith j
him the Ambassador of a great ;
European power. The latter invited to
breakfast with the Emperor at the,
buffet of the station, saw Dom Pedro
getting up after a few minutes, during i
which the diplomat had kept answer- j
ing the questions asked by His Majesty. J
The Ambassador had to follow His Im- .
perial host with an empty stomach, and ;
with a long journey vet to accomplish, i
But before leaving the table and fol- j
lowing the Emperor, who had already !
turned his back, and was moving iu J
the direction of the train, the famished !
guest rapidly seized upon cakes spreatl ;
on the table, forced them iuto his ;
pocket and managed to eat them, with- j
out being seen, during the remainder j
of the trip. j
Every morning the Emperor used to ,
hold audiences and listen to everybody
who chose to present him a request.
Asitle from these audiences daily given
to savants, artists, merchants, etc,
Dom Pedro received once a week in the
j palace yard t he low er classes, or rather
the oor and those in want, to whom
he distributed money from big bags
held by two chamberlains. After the
audience he entered his carriage and
paid visits to schools, hospitals, naval
ships, barracks, etc. In the evenings
the Emperor worked in his library or
went to some theater, always with
some member of his family. "His life

MARRIAGE.

Marriage is a failure, the

say,

when a wife thinks more of
her
lives than of her husband.
When a wife believes that her
hus-
band must love her whether she
de-
serves It or .tot;
When a wife stoops to her husband's
level and tries to equal him in 1eiug
mean;
When a woman marries for conven
ience and preteuds that she marries for
lore;
When a wife pays too much atten
tion to her husband's old trows and not
enough to the nature of the man . she
has actually married;
When a wife insists that her husband
hall be as good as her mother, instead
of as good as her father;
When a wife savs that if her bus
band earns f,1 a fay he ought to put
2.60 of it in her lap every night as
"her share;"
When a wife who is not expected to
do any such work savs in the presence
of the neighbors tfiat she wa not
raised" that way, and will not saw

When a wife blames all the trouble
on the husband instead of accepting
her share;
When a woman imagines that all the
women in the world are in love with
her plug of a husband;
When a wife expects the fact that she
is a mother to compensate fur all her
failures.
Marriage is a failure, the women say,
when a man says he can not control
his lenier when with his wife and
children, although they know he con

A Moral Liesson In It,
It was agreed by every body in the

thev ever saw. ami the man in the seat
with her probably noticed the sly
glances and heard some of the whis-

"Bovs, she's mv wife."
"Yes!" one rescinded. .
"I allow that she's homely nuff to
scare a hungry bear out of a" hog pen,
but it's all my fault."
"Indeed!"
And I'll tell you the story, because
there is a great moral lesson in it. We
was engaged to be married. I took her
into Sarycnse to a Fourth of July.
There she met Bill Prime, an old beau
of hers. and. to make me jealous, as
some gals will you know, she agreed to
ride home w ith him. It hit me hard,
as you may believe, and so I went out
: into the stable and drove tacks into
i Bill's harness. When they came to
j start out the horse ran away. Bill

"Not yit, you don't! That came in
when I tried to give her the shake and
crawl out of the marriage. Her old dad
put on the screws, and I had to come
to time or lose my farm, and so I
walked chalk. The great moral lesson

"Why Daniel Escaped.
Grandma had taught our two-year-old
to answer a great many Bible ques
tions, and was fond of "showing him
off." On one of these occasions she
asked him:
"Who was put in the lion's den?"
"Daniel," was the prompt answer.
