WHOM OTHERS ENVY.
_ i years of patient toil and sacrifice
He climbed fame’s ladder round by round,
Hot rested tfll his hand had g rasped the prize
For which be toiled Self made, self crowned
He stood among his lofty dreams and weighed
Their worth, together with the price he paid.
A millionaire: He bartered lore for this.
Lore binds the wings of him who would arise.
Ho rose unfettered. Now v> ith tarnished eyes
He gazes on another's Paradise,
■While memory taunts him with a shy, sweet hiss,
A frightened, fluttering thing, the first, the last.
Ho childish voices echo through bis past;
He wears his laurels, but he paid their price.
—Hose Hart wick Thorpe in Lippincott’l.
MIRIAM GUNTER.
As I was hurrying homeward from my
office one evening in October I was de
tained on a fashionable thoroughfare by
many carriages. A society wedding re
ception was taking place.
I watched a few ladies pass out of
their carriages to the awning, and thence
into the residence. It was rather inter
esting to a novice—the begloved men
were so thoroughly conversant with the
minutiae of attending to the wants of
the fair ladies. From my position I
could look into the vast drawing booms.
There stood the “happy couple,” a
handsome pair. He tall and dark, but
with eyes and month that spoke of a will
it would be dangerous to cross. She was
also tall, with a winsome face of unusual
brightness.
It was a face that changed with every
breath. The bine eyes would grow black
with excitement. The merry looking
little mouth disclosed most of the time a
aet of beautiful white teeth. A wealth
of brown hair ruffled and curled all over
the well shaped head.
Yes, she was a very bonny bride, and
1 did not wonder the young man looked
at her with such an endearing gaze. No
one wonld dare monopolize her attention
with him around.
I finally moved on, considering I had
sentimentalized long enough.
Six months later my circumstances
were materially altered. I was in a po
sition to enter society if I so wished, and
at the urgent request of my uncle I did
so. It being known that I was heir to
considerable wealth, I had no trouble in
securing plenty of partners.
One evening at a large ball given by
Mrs. Fred Delaney, 1 was introduced to
Mrs. Clarence Gunter, in whom I imme
diately recognized the bride of a few
months before.
The face was the same, yet changed.
The eyes seemed larger thau ever. This
was probably owing to some dark lines
under them.
When the flush of excitement would
go the face looked rather pale. It was
an interesting face, and looked as though
it held a story.
Her husband stood near her, jealously
guarding her. At least it looked that
way. 1 asked her for a dance, but she
glanced nervously at her card and said:
“You must excuse me this evening,
Dr. Wanen, but the little l dance will
be with Mr. Gunter.”
“At least I may sit out a few,” I mur
mured. j
“Ob, certainly,” with a bright smile. 1
Well, that was the beginning of the
•nd. I forgot that she was married, for
got everything except that I was sitting
by the eide of the sweetest woman I had
ever met. Her husband had left us with
s scowl.
1 wandered if she was in the habit of
using those blue eyes to such deadly
effect en ad the gentlemen she met. If
so, how many slain there must have
been.
i That evening 1 never forgot. Many
more happy ones were passed by her .
aide, but they never seemed the same.
All that season 1 met Mrs. Gunter. I
called frequently at her house, became
friends with her husband, whom I soon
got to like exceedingly. He wa3 very
fond of his wife, al chough he had a pe
culiar way of showing it.
She was never sure of her position. At
a dinner party he would sharply repri- '
jnand her until at times I felt like ekok- ?
ing him. \
( She never showed by a sign that she
noticed it. A laugh would turn the con
versation, but I knew it cat like a knife.
I met her once alone, after snch a time
io the hall. She did not see me at first.
Her face was ashy white, and her blue
eyes were dilated and looked like coals
of fire. No one would ever have dream
ed of calling them blue; her hands were
clasped convulsively, and in a hearse
whisper . I heard:
“I hate biml I hate himt Oh, Godl
take him or rue I”
i stepped quickly forward, and in my
excitement unwittingly used her first
name.
“Don’t, Miriam, don’t! You know net
what you are saying.”
“I wish 1 didn’t,” she sullvr.'.y replied,
and pushing by me hurried into the
drawing room, and there I found her
brightly discussing the merits of some of
Whistler's etchings.
1 sat by her side and endeavored to
converse rationally, but my heart's cry
Would not be stifled.
‘Oh, Miriam. Miriam, why did I not
meet you first!”
She caught, the passionate look in my
eyes, and involuntarily shuddered. I
collected myself and arose, saying I
would take a turn in the gardens.
As 1 did so there was a report and a
bright flash, and there lay Miriam, white
as death.
i rushed to her, and although nearly
wild with excitement managed to use
my medical knowledge to advantage,
and she scon opened her eyes.
By this time the gentlemen who had
remained in the dining room rushed into
the room, and upon seeing Mrs. Gunter
lying senseless the wildest excitement
reigned.
Her husband could not be calmed, and
insisted that he should shoot himself if
anything happened to Miriam.
We calmed him finally by frequent
assurances that she would recover. I
bad her carried to her room, and asked
Mr. Gunter what medical attendance I
ahouid summon.
“Why, Warren, Fll trust her to you,
at course. If any one can pull her
through you can.”
My heart throbbed at the thought of
holding her life in my hands, but I was
determined to prove worthy in thought
and deed of the responsibility.
In the mean time the police had been
gtunmoned and the place ransacked, but
no trace of the would-be murderer. 1
had had no time to speculate on that,
being fully occupied in writing prescrip
tions to be filled and ascertaining the
exact amount of danger Miriam was in.
I found that the ball had entered her
left side, just escaping the heart When
my instruments arrived I probed for the j
ball and soon extracted it, leaving her j
free from danger.
For several weeks I tended her, and '
she gradually gained strength until at j
last she could sit on the piazza for an
hour each bright day. During all the I
weeks the detectives had been at work, i
but no clew could be found. No reason- j
able theory could he formed.
Snyder and th’e Wild Cat.
Chauncey Snyder, who resides upon
the road leading to the Overlook mount
ain, for some time past has missed sheep
from his Hock, and after a light mow
which had fallen he saw the tracks of a
huge wild cat in the field. By the light
of the new moon he lay in wait for the
lover of lamb and mutton should he
make another nocturnal visit. He had
his faithful dog with him, and it was
near midnight before the 6heep destroy
er put in an appearance.
He made straight for a lamb, and Sny
der bid his dog to “go for him.” Jack,
a hnge bulldog, with a bound left his
master, and soon the cat and dog were
in a deadly conflict. The wild cat was
a monster, with claws full half an inch
in length and as sharp as needles, and
when Snyder neared the combatants the
snow was crimson with blood. The cat
had a decided advantage over the dog
I questioned her if she knew of any when Snyder came to the rescue, but he
one who would have any motive for such
a deed. She only shuddered, and it
seemed to retard her recovery every
time it was spoken.
So finally it became accepted as a mys
tery.
I had called one afternoon and found
her sitting in her boudoir. She held out
her hand and said:
“I am glad you have come, doctor. I
want to talk to you.”
“I am always glad to be talked to,” 1
inanely remarked, wondering what was
coming.
“You overheard some words one night
that require an explanation,” she began,
and her face was bright scarlet. “They
were wicked words, I am afraid, but I
have thought them many times.
“I met Mr. Gunter when I was 17, and
the fascination he had for me I mistook
for love, so that when he asked me if 1
would marry him I said ‘Yes.’ In a few
months I saw my mistake, but knew not
how to communicate the fact. I threw
out a few hints, and he immediately be
came of ashy whiteness, and said if he
should lose me he never would live an
hour, and rather than see me another
man’s wife he would shoot me.
“I was very young and believed him.
In fact, I believe still he spoke the truth.
I had no courage to face these facts, so
gave myself up to the inevitable. I soon
learned, even before marriage, that he
had a violent temper. No one ever
crossed him.
“I have been humiliated time and
time again by that cursed temper. God
knows, I am naturally of a happy nat
ure, and tried to make the best of it.
“I thought marriage would soften
him, but no, it hardened him, and I had
no love to help me bear it. I knew he
loved me with a wild, selfish love, but it
was not the kind to make me happy.
You will wonder why I tell you all of
this: no, don’t interrupt—I cannot help
knowing your feeling toward me, and 1
think it best that we should part.
“One thing more,” as I tried to inter
rupt. “I have my suspicions about that
horrible night. Don’t, for God’s sake,
ask me any questions. Now will you be
merciful and go?’
I was shivering.
The mere thought of going away, never,
perhaps, to 6ee her again, was almost
beyond my power. But 1 saw to cross
her would be detrimental to her health.
So I said, “Yes, I will go.”
“Thank you, Bentley,” she said, using
my Christian name for the first time.
“You see you could not stay here after
knowing my story. It would not be
right.”
“I shall try to see you again. Good-
by, good-by, Miriam, God bless you,
child!” and rushed from the room.
A week later I sailed for France. For
months I traveled through Europe,
then I went into the Holy Land and
thence through to Japan. For nearly
two years I thus wandered about.
One day while at Cairo I received my
European mail, which had chased me
for some time. I noticed a letter with
a strange handwriting and immediately
opened it. It ran thus:
Dear Warren— When you receive this I shall
be among the “gone before." 1 am tired of life.
But first I must ease my conscience, as all sinners
ou their dying bed are wont to do. When you
were first introduced to us I noticed that you lost
your heart to Miriam, and 1 was wildly jealous,
but I finally got to liking and also trusting you.
The night of the dinner party l worked myself
into a passion after you left the table, and leav
ing the room on the pretense of speaking to my
man I crept around to the drawing room window
and saw you two close together.
A passionate glance passed from yeur eyes, and
I imagined that she returned it. The demon was
aroused in me, and I lifted my revolver and fired
at you.
My hand was unsteady, and it passed you as
you know. I hurried in, and my horror wa3 ter
rible when I saw Miriam. I gave her into your
charge, because I knew if any one could bring
her through you could.
The remorse has been gradually wearing mo
away. You will bear 1 died < f heart disease.
Don't contradict it, and let Miriam think the same
Take care of her, and forgive me if you can. I
liked you. Warren, and I leave Miriam to your
an. Clarence V Gunter.
Oct. 8. “The Vetner.”
1 could not believe the letter at first.
It seemed as if it must be a fabrication
of my brain; but no, there was the let
ter to prove the truth of it. Gunter
had tried to kill me, and now had com
mitted suicide.
It was nearly a year later that I ar
rived home. I called on Mrs. Gunter at
once, and she looked very pale and sweet
in her mourning garments.
Before I left she had promised to leave
them off for a wedding gown a year
from that day. I never told her the
truth about her husband’s death. She
had no suspicion about that, though.
I always thought she knew who fired
the shot that nearly deprived her of life.
However, that is a subject we never
discuss in our happy married life.—T. C.
W. in Burlington Globe.
dared not shoot for fear of killing th«
faithful animal.
He raised his gun and brought it down
with full force upon the wild cat’s skull.
The animal reeled and seemed staggered,
but it was for a moment only. With
glaring eyes it sprang upon Snyder’s
shoulders and sent its teeth deep into
the flesh. Jack was up in time and
grappled with the brute, and then came
a rough and tumble fight m which all
three engaged. Snyder rained blow after
blow upon the cat’s head with his gun
barrel until the ferocious beast lay quiv
ering in death.
Both Snyder and his dog had paid
dearly for their victory. The former had
a deep wound in his shoulder while the
latter’s flesh was lacerated and torn, and
the blood ebbed from a dozen gaping
wounds. The animal weighed thirty-
four pounds and is the largest of its
species ever killed in the Catskills.—
Kingston Argus.
The Result of Experience.
Ladie§ ;—Did you ever think about how injurious it is to use so many cos
metics in attempting to hide pimples, blotches, sores, and ugly skin bumps?
These ugly places result from impure blood, and the only way to reach them is
through a Blood Alterative, such as W. W. C. It is purely vegetable and
pleasant in taste, mild in effect. Thousands of ladies will have nothing else,
ft leaves a beautiful complexion and smooth skin.
From Under the Hi.tletoe.
Christmas romping has never gone out
of vogue, and as it is, after all, an in
nocent romp, who wonld want it to? No
southern girl wonld do like the elderly
English maiden who wore a wreath of
mistletoe on her head, thus inviting a
continued series of kissings, but each
one is considerate enough to never get
under the mistletoe unless her very own
sweetheart is near her. The mistletoe is
removed after Christmas night, for it
represents a frolic only kept up while
everybody is present.
The great delight of the establishment
is always to get grandpapa or grand
mamma under the mistletoe bough, and
then to let a procession be formed, each
member of which imprints a kiss on the
dear faces. These kisses are good, sweet,
pnre ones, and there is no girl who
should be advised against being in the
room where the mistletoe is. It is true
that Tom may seize a kiss if you happen
for a minute to be under the waxy look
ing berries; it is true that you may in
cite your mother to kiss Tom as be stands
there inviting tribute from you. but this
is all honest play to which none but
prudes could object.
Get the dear mother to take her place
then, and see how the boys, young and
old, will strive to kiss the lips that say
the kindly words, or to make a rosy
blush come on her face as the tender
tribute is placed on her forehead by
some friend of her girlhood, somebody
who reverences the beautiful lips she has
had. As long as the mistletoe repre
sents sweet, pure fun, hang it up, and
do not let the waxen berries be for
gotten.—Ruth Ashmore in Ladies’ Home

A Six-year-aid Harpist.
Frank Harris Pool, son of John S.
Pool, clothing merchant of this city, is
6 years old, beautiful and bright and the
pet of Paris. Strange to say, he is a fine
harpist. He plays all the popular tnnes
on a harp, bringing out the notes fnll
and strong and keeping perfect time.
He can play any tune he hears whistled,
played on the piano or otherwise. His
rendition of “Home, Sweet Home,”
“Cricket on the Hearth,” “Patrol Com-
iqne” and a score of other pieces has
rendered him noted here.—Paris (Mo.)

which was made by one of the inmates
of the Massachusetts state prison, who
has retained Mr. Bragg to represent his

of 32,500 pieces of tissue paper firmly
pressed upon a rod and finished eqnal to
the finest wood. The handle of the cane

Eastern Trees in Californian
California is nearly destitute of the

fras, red and white oak, etc. They are
all growing satisfactorily in various por

gorgeous in color, making strangely beau

Fred Rackliff has captured a large

from, or how he came to St. George, is
a mystery. He is an enormous fellow,
over six feet long. He was alive when
found, and was killed to prevent him
from destroying the weir.—Bangor Com

when you can net the
An Atmospheric Railway.
There is a proposition to cols tract an
atmospheric railway 3£ miles long up

there will be two parallel tunnels nearly
ten feet in diameter, finished cylindric-
ally and provided with rails for the cars;
the cars will be cylindrical, and will be
forced up the incline by compressed air
operating against their ends.—New Or
