A STUDY IN JOURNALISM
At first, when she came out of ber house,
she walked quickly, with flushed cheeks
and eyes sparkling with an unaccustomed
light. A slight breathlesanesa made her
delicate chest pant a little, aud ber pale
lips, which thediatressof an aneurism kept
habitually compressed, mnraiured strange,
interrupted words.
"Will this story takeF" she muttered.

pretty ones for twenty five lire! Imagine
mamma in it" ,
The young girl smiled with a knowing
air. But she soon became anxious again.
She had arsjved.
Bbe must enter without loss of time, for
at 11 o'clock tlie lemon tu Italian literature
began at the high school of the Majistero,
and woe to whoever was absent!
The great door, with its haudaome plates
of shining metal, was open, as if it ex
pected her.
Over the top was the famous sign at
which she had so many times looked with
infinite longing:
j EDITORIAL OFFICE j
j OF THE CREPUSCOLO. j
She entered, mounting the stain slowly
and looking doubtfully ahead. What
should she say when slue weut inf In the
first room, the profesKor had told her, wen
the edihfej, all men, all young! And in a
little separate parlor he, the chief editor,
the hstndHome man with the short auburn
buard, the mocking smile, that she bad
looked at so many times, furtively, through
the window blinds. Bhe uiurtt take cour
age, turn the door handle with a firm hand,
aud enter enter with reserved maunen,
as became an honest girl, but frank and
natural. Then, after all, she was not go
ing into tbiwe rooms from a bad motive,
from vanity or coquetry.
fcbe wan going to sell her work, to give a
proof of her love for her dear little old
woman. Oh, for shame! She had been ca
pable of hesitating ao mucbl She could
think so much of herself, of her sensitive
ueas of a timid child! She turned the door
handle and entered with a firm step, saying,
"Good morning." At first, near sighted
as she was, aud blinded by the smoke of
the cigarettes, she only perceived at the
end of the room a large table, with several
men seated around it writing.
They all raised tltt-ir beads, aud one of
them, a very young man with large, weary
eyes, went attentively forward to meet her,
"The chief editor?" asked Annina, with
A thread of voice:
The editorial staff began to write again,
disaimuJaMug an equivocal smile, fortu
nately Ounoticed by t he girl.
'He will be here fo a moment," replied
the young man. "If you will wait for
him"
. And as Anniualooked around her, fright
ened, he added hurriedly, preceding hen
"Come into the chief editor's room; it
will not be so oolU there." And he opened
the door of a little parlor, richly f urniahed,
where in the fireplace was crackling a

The young mau matte a low bow, tfcen re
turned to his task of cleaning up the corre
spondence, saying to hi owe if:
"Where theUeuce have I seen that little
face and those pleading eyes?" .
No one permitted himself the slightest
comment in regard to the morning visitor.
They had seen others very unlike her.
Theyouuggirl meanwhile whose breath
had ooustautly grown shorter looked
round her with ingenuous admiratiou.
ilow warm one felt iu that beautiful little
room, with a carpet on tbe floor and heavy
plush curtains at the wiudowl Aud to
think that all those furnishings, all those
expensive trifles, out) could earn them by
work with the pen, inventing beautiful ro
mances, writing poems, making critical
, articles upon hue books, foreign and Ital

The door opened softly, and Anderni,
with a glass Ui his left eye, entered with a
fret movement, placing ojj the writing
table great packet of letters and Dews
paper. "hi what can I be of use to youf he then
asked the young girl, who had risen pre
cipitately at his entrance. r
"I came the said, trembling and grow

Anderni was not bad hearted, but that

The young gtrt felt her throat com
pressed as if by a hand of iron, and blamed
a hundred times over the hour and the mo

presenting herself to that discourteous
mau; yet, since now there la no turning
back.
"It is a moral story," she stammered; "a

"That virtue is its own rewardf" asked
tbe journalist, laughing, while he began to
make botes in regard to the letters which
he was arranging in an elegant letter file.
"Tbe theme could not be more amusing.

I could not give your medicines too great
praise. My health was gone. I felt that
medicines could do me no good. 1 was
hopeless of ever recovering. I thought too
late to try your medicines, but with deuth
staring me iu the face I determined to do
so. I am pleased that I did it, for at this
date 1 have received tenfold the price of
the medicines. If I should say one hun

difference in my health. I feci like another

Following Is an in teres ting letter from
W. S. CasHetl, one of the managers of the
Western Union Telegraph Co.:
" Bloominoton, lud., Jan. 12, 1H80.
11 1 have been In the telegraph business
for more than twenty years, and for the
pant live years have been troubled with
what is called Writer's Cramp, or Telegra
pher's Paralysis. At times my arm became
so weak that I could not ue It fn sending
dispatches, and tiad to use my left. Have
spent many restless nights, the pain reach
ing from my hand up Into my shoulder.
Tried everything I could hear of, but with
scarcely any relief. Having strained my
left side a lew weeks ago, I got one of All
cock'b Piasters, as I usually do in such
cases, and accidentally happened to see
where some one had cured a weak wrist by
using one of these Plasters. I got another
at once, and cut it in two and put one-half
around my wrist. In leas than two days
after the pain had entirely left my wrist
and arm, and in two weeks 1 could send
nearly as well an ever. I write this hoping
it will reach the eyes of others who may be
afflicted as I was, as I know there are scores
of them."
