minutes.
Grandfather Berg wts ou tbe
train, and he greeted his pretty
grandchild affectionately.
“I received your letter,” he*
said, as lie took a seat beside her
in the phaeton, “and atfi te '.giad
you remembered your promise to
me. You lorgot, however, to
mention the names of the two
knights who desire to make my
little girl their lady.” ,f
“How stupid* of me I’’* said
Madelon, whipping up the ponies;
and then she blushed. “We met
them both in Paris last winter.
They came to us highly recom¬
mended. Mr. Herbert Darnell is
one, and Mr, Alfred Costa the
other.”
At mention of the n&m ; s the
old man started, and his keen
eyes were betit oh his grand
daughter’s face.
“Now*, tell mo frankly, little
girl, which ia the favorite,” he
said. !*
“I have tried lo decide,” she
answered, “but l cannot. They
are totally unlike in tempera¬
ment, but both are very pleasant
gentlemen.”
“Altai” mused the rich watch¬
maker. “I think we can decide
the matter between us. When
are they to call again ?”
“To-night, and I will introduce
you to them.”
“Nn,” protested the grandfath¬
er. H prefer to meet them un¬

“Sir?”
“When Hmy call to-flight you
must secret me somewhere in the
room, so that 1 can see both and
overhear what is said.”

but sue promised to secede to it;
and whet* the servant announced
the two lovers, they were shown
into the long, dimly-lighted

easy oiiuir, ami drew Madeton
: down hositle him.
“hittie girl,” he said, “1 have a
story to tell yon;” and she bent
her head in a listening altitude.
“I know both of those men.
When 1 came across the ocean
this time Mr. Herbert Darnell
was mw fellow passenger- i was
sick, and* he was very kind end
attentive lo ore. An old man ap¬
preciates those attentions, and 1
formed a favorable opinion of
him. Is you become Madelon
Darnell I will be pleased, and
you, 1 think, will be happy.”
“But Mr. Costa—” protested
Madelon.
“1 met him also,” continued the
granulalher, “after I reached
New York. Although 1 have
beeu a great Irayefbr, my 1 experi¬
ence with rascals and sharpers
^ as been somewhat limited. That
man, who calls himself Alfred
Gosla, formed my acquaintance
at the hotel where I was stdpping,
ami proved himself to be Att un¬
accomplished adventurer, and a
most consummate scoundrel. He
pretended lo have an acquaint¬
ance with friends of mine' in
Switzerland, and had the assur¬
ance to claim relatianshfp with
one of the high officials in the
canton. T neyer doubted Hie
truth of hia statements, and was
so well impressed with hitn^ that,
he easily secured a loan of a
thousand francs, and could have
had more had ne asked for it. I
Bieftliafied the fact ol our »c*
quaintance to one of my buslnees
associates, and Ire excited mg

“Merciful heavens !»’* cried
Madelon, “what a narrow escape!

Points for Reftectidn.

of the prevailing poverty"’ trod
degradation, They. are <1 r*»“k»fi¬
ne ss, igoorance/ lazineHs. and
misfortune, ah;l nftie tenths of
our poverty and misery are the
reSufts of infampofiineo, Ignor¬
ance is also' 1 'set down ns l he
cause Wf m’iieh* iniisert*, sfnd the
fact is self-evident that laziness
means idleness and idlcnes means
neglect of wi'^ and rliihlren. An¬
other potential Cause of poverty
deserves a place in the list, ami
that is the widespread and ruin¬
ous sin of improvidence. With
the exception of intemperance
the imphivhkMice of l>i> masses
of flie people is tl;> cause of more
poverty and 'suffering than any
ilting else. The people who w'orlc
Tor wages and' shlmies dt» irot, as
a rtile', lay Amyththg by for «hl
age ami sickness. Too muclfns
wasted, and too much is spent for
show. There is loo much reck¬
lessness of expenditure alnoug
people of small means and the
hand to mouth way of living is
altogether too common. A man
may be competent, industrious,
