ROMANCE OF A TINTYPE
BY CHARLOTTE ROGERS.
Two young ladies were seated on the
porch of the “States” at Saratoga. Each
had tipped her parasol over her nose at
i ust Flic right angle to cast a becoming
shadow and neither was at all interested
in the book she held before her.
Presently one of them, Miss Benton,
closed her book and yawned—not a man
was in sight. Then she got up and
shook out all the little frills and ribbons
on her gown while Miss Miller watched
her with lazy interest.
“I have been wishing for the last ten
minutes,” she said, when the ribbons
were adjusted to her liking, “that there
was some way of preserving our good
times. To condense and can them, for
instance, as we do peaches. Now, this
summer has been perfect; but it has gone
almost as completely as if it had never
been.
“Howdelightful,” she went on dream¬
ily, “it would be to reproduce it some
winter evening, as one does the
peaches.”
“As far as I can make out,” said Miss
Miller, “you want to eat your cake and
keep it too.”
“I have nothing left of the summer but
memories,” continued Miss Benton, pa¬
thetically, “and thev are so unsatisfy¬
ing.”
“Do you mean to say,” cried hei
friend, leaning forward with tragically
mock earnestness, “that you haven’t even
a without tintype? No girl ever passes a summer
“Come,” collecting at least one tintype.”
sue said, springing up with
sudden energy, as Miss Benton shook her
head, “we’ll go at once and have ours
taken. I’ll give you mine and you shall
give me yours. I couldn’t bear to think,
when I part from you to-morrow, that I
had left you without the comfort of a
tintype.”
So they sauntered slowly up the street,
stopping till to look in the shop windows,
they came to a kind of teat made of
boards and canvass.
On the outside of it hung a frame
filled with tintypes of ail the people who,
during the summer, had sighed to see
themselves as others saw them. Miss
Miller stopped to inspect these with
much interest.
“They look like they might be good
likenesses,” she said, “only the people
seem to have been very bad subjects.
They are evidently excursionists from the
backwoods.”
When she entered, after an exhaustive
survey of the productions of art outside,
she found that Judith had already made
arrangements with the young woman in
charge The to take their pictures.
young woman produced a young
man with very thin legs and a very large
head, which made him strongly resemble
a carricature, who in turn produced a
camera and seated them in front of it.
‘‘Lookpleasant,” persuasively. ‘‘Don’t
move,” threateningly.
Then he pulled off a little lid, walked
leisurely to the door, ran back suddenly
to clap the lkl on and say with a flourish:
“That’ll do, ladies; that’s all.”
They got up feeling dazed and waited
till the young man returned from the
next room. He came in on a run, as if
he had been a long distance, and pre¬
sented them with four pieces of tin,
from which they gazed fixedly back at
themselves.
Miss Beaton looked rather pensive, as
if she was still thinking of the vtnpre-
served summer, but Judith was seated
with her head to one side and a defiant
expression that, for a tintype, was won-
dcrfully captivating.
lhcj expressed themselves as well
pleased; each bought one and walked off,
leaving the other two on the counter.
U hen they reached the hotel Miss
Miller wrote on the back of hers: “To
Katherine Benton, from Judith Miller,
5 August, 18b8, Miss Benton wrote a
imilar but reversed inscription on hers;
then they exchanged pictures and next
day parted with many promises to visit
each other during the winter.
rhe morning they left, the tintype . man
coming into his shop found their pictures
on the counter and remarking that they
were good specimens went outside and
abstracted two of the excursionits from
the frame. The void thus made he filled
witn Miss Miller and Miss Benton.
Mr. Stephen Howard had been spend-
mg a month canoeing among the Thou-
sand Islands. Business called him back
to 2s en Y °rtv, but he had still a few days
to spare, and he determined to spend
them at baratoga.
He was rather a hne-looking specimen
of humanity, with a comfortable income
and plenty of brains. Partly Bohemian
in ms tastes and partly a society man—
a combination, his lady friends declared,
which made him extremely interesting.
The proper thing to do at baratoga is ^
to go before breakiast to the spring you
consulm the Iea>t disagreeable, or the
most beneficial, and imbibe.
%ou aie a constant patron ot this
place of many waters you will have your

a- Mr. lx Howard, 4 not , being . a habitue, fol-

As Wes traveled slowly down the
frame he started to find Katherine Ben-
ton gazing pensively back at him.
“How in the world,' he murmured,
addressing till} xC. 1 the I pictures “did \ vou S «et
here. You and •
„ your , fi lead - in your
stylish atttre spoil the monotonous effect
produced by your neighbors. I liko to
see things harmonious, and I will rescue
you, Miss Benton, from your present
conspicuous position.’*
On coming out of the short he met
some friends f i tends, slipped slit»Wl ft the tintypes ,• * into - , , his .
pocket and thought no more about them
till he was seated in the train next dav

the baby, in the next seat behind pound-
ing him on the head, he dug his hands
moodily into his pockets and looked
straight before him.
Something with a sharp edge cut his
finger; then he remembered the tintypes.
“It’s very good for Katherine,” he re¬
flected, “I’ll ask her to let me keep it
when I “T C her. I wonder who the other
girl is- 3’s remarkably pretty.”
The was full of possibilities and
he went on building up a history for it
till suddenly aroused from his reverie by
an exciting conversation carried on be¬
hind him in piercing whispers.
The baby had long since disappeared
and two ladies had taken its place.
“Good heavens! Betty, where do you
suppose he got it. I never laid ej r es on
the creature before in my life, and there
he sits gazing at my picture as if we were
old friends.”
At this nothing short of a superhuman
effort prevented Mr. Howard from turning
round. With wonderful self-control lie
remained quiet and waited for further
developments.
Betty murmured something soothing
and then the irate maiden began again :
“I wish I could get a good look at
him. He looks like a gentleman, doesn’t
he, Bett?—at least his back does. But
the idea of a strange man having my pic¬
ture is simply unbearable.”
“I should think it would be the fact
you minded,” Betty mildly suggested,
“not the idea. Besides, he need never
know it is your picture unless you talk so
loud he hears you.”
“I suppose they imagine I’m deaf,”
thought Mr. Howard.
“Betty, I must get a good look at him.
I'll tie on this thick blue veil to walk
down the car to get some water.”
A short pause and then a young lady of
medium height and good figure walked
sedately past. After she was again seated
she delivered her opinion.
“He’s not exactly good-looking,Betty,
but evidently a gentleman.”
Both were silent for about ten min-
utes and then his fair unknown began
again:
“This veil is simply suffocating; I
must take it off. Betty, I’m going to put
these shawls and bags up in the rack—
they’re in the way.”
“Now,” thought Mr. Stephen Howard,
“Now’s my chance.”
He stood up at the same instant she
did and offered his assistance,
She accepted his help without a word
and he was careful to show no signs of
recognition.
After that she held a long conversation
with Betty too low for him to catch, but
he heard her order the luggage to be sent
to the Windsor Hotel and he had seen
for himself that the tintype in no way
did her justice—also that*the name on
her bag was Miller.
As soon as Air. Howard reached his
room he sat down to think out the situa¬
tion. Obviously the thing for him to do
was to return the -tintype.
But how? To be sure, now that he
knew her name he could leave it at the
hotel for her; but then he was distinctly
conscious of a desire to give it to her
himself.
After a while this deSire changed and
he felt he would much rather know her.
and ask her to let him keep it.
This he determined to do, and aft<
hard thought sent the following teL
gram to Miss Benton, whose journeyint ha]
he discovered while at Saratoga,
taken her to Newport:
To Miss Katherine Benton, Riggs Cottag
Newport— Telegraph immediately introductic

planation. to youj* friend Miss Miller. Will write e:
Stephen HoWAr.D.
Bo nine o’clock he received this an¬
swer :
To Mr. Stephen Howard, Union Club, New
York—
Miss Miller, allow ms to present my friend,
Mr. Stephen Howard
Katherine Benton.
Armed with this telegram and the tin-
type he at once started for the Widsor.
The whole affair had been so like an
adventure and so out of the common run
that he almost dreaded to meet the girl
for fear she would spoil all by proving
stupid or uninteresting,
gpe came in almost immediately with
pjg C ard and the telegram in her hand.
Of course she had no idea that Mr.
Stephen Howard was the man who had
possession of her picture, and, as she
said afterward, it seemed as if she stood
before him for a week gasping and say-
j U rr ; “"Well!”
j n reality it was not five minutes be-
f orc they were both laughing and ex-
plaining and interrupting each other to
wonder at the strange course of events
that had brought them together,
“And the telegram,” she said, “was
such a clever idea. Where did you get
it?”
“That’s a very unkind remark,” he re-
plied. “Don’t Vou think I look capable
of originating ‘such a clever idea?’
Evidently you don’t know me. That
stroke of genius was evolved from my
inner consciousness. I wanted to know
you. Something had to be done at once,
f or you might leave town at any moment,
1 10 se to the emergenev and telegraphed.”
Before he left he found that she ex¬
pect^d to be m town a week. She and her
aunt (presumably “Betty”) were waiting
for some friends with whom they were
going to White Sulphur. That her home
was in Washington, and it was not
he reached his room that he remembered
he had not returned the tintype.
He sat up till late that night writing
to Miss Benton. •
Dear Katherine—I am firmlv convinced
you should have been a soldier. You possess
the very quality to make you shine in the
profession of arms-prompt obedience.
I can never sufficiently thank you for the
way you answered my telegram and I fullv

not to have first wired: “Why do you want

The next afternoon he took her driv¬
ing ami he never remembered enjoying a
drive so much. He told her the names
of the people they passed and what they
were noted for# Mostly men who were
so rich they were obliged to stay-in town
all summer to look after their money.
He noticed that all of them looked ad¬
miringly at the girl beside him, and it
pleased him—he felt as if her beauty, in
some way, reflected great credit on him¬
self.
He made some excuse to see her every
night and often in the daytime. The
few New Yorkers she knew were out of
town, so he had her all to himself.
Alas, that good times should end so
quickly! One night when he called he
found his week of bliss was over. Aunt
Betty informed him their friends had ar¬
rived and they were to start for the
“White” in the morning. She hoped
they would have the pleasure of seeing
him in Washington next winter, which
hope her niece demurely echoed.
Next day Mr. Howard found the city
exceedingly hot and stupid.
lie left undone that which he ought to
have done, and spent the morning at the
club trying to extract amusement from
the other loungers.
About seven o’clock a brilliant idea
occurred to him—
“By Jove!” he exclaimed, “I’ve for¬
gotten to give her that tintype.”
Two days after her arrival at the ‘ ‘White”
Miss Miller was standing on the hotel
piazza, when she saw Stephen Howard,
her embodied thought as it happened,
slowly sauntering toward her with the
air of having been there all summer.
She fully expected him to say, “Why,
when did you come?” just as first arri¬
vals always do to later ones. He only
shook hands, however, and said “good
morning,” as if his being there was the
most natural thing in the world and re¬
quired no explanation.
“Do you spend all your time planning
surprises of various kinds for your
friends,” she asked, “or am I specially
favored?”
“Now that is a very pretty compli¬
ment delicately conveyed,” he answered
with a laugh. “I assure you, Miss Mil¬
ler, I appreciate it. It’s not every day I
get told my presence is a special favor.”
_“I don’t think I meaut to convey any
such impression. Would you like me to
show you some of the beauties of the
place, now that you are here?”
“If you mean the beauties of nature—
the inanimate—nothing I should like
better.”
Nevertheless, by the time they had
reached the extreme end of the lawn they
sat down by mutual consent under one of
the trees.
“It is pretty here,” she remarked. “It
seems a pity to go any further.”
A long silence followed, broken only
by the sounds from the hotel, softened
by the distance to a murmur.
“Miss Miller,” he began abruptly,
i ( T no TYI
t
for it. He took no notice of the action,
“I wonder if you would give it to me,’
he said, “if I asked you for it? Bu<
I’m afraid the picture wouldn’t satisfj
me now that I have known the original.
I would like the picture as a surety of
the reality. Do you think, Miss Miller,
there is any chance of my longings evei
being gratified? May I keep the pic¬
ture?”
They were in full sight from the ho¬
tel, so from all appearances they mighl
have been discussing the weather. Bui
that night Katherine Benton at Newport
received another startling telegram. Il
read as follows:
Congratulate me. Lucky fellow. Havt
won origin «? nf tintype.
S. Howard.
“Disgusting!” exclaimed Miss Benton
as she tossed it from her. “He actually
counted the words .”—Neio York Mercury,

Palmistry Has Kul ©»,
the Palmistry, as practiced principally by
gypsies and even less perfectlv by h
few unprincipled or misguided pretend¬
ers, as a means of fortune-telling, has
never been recognized by intelligent
artists as others than a pastime or
harmless delusion, and a
Uav the at the present
art is used almost entirely in
delineation of character, while the for-
rant, ttine-telling feature is left to the igno¬
the curious, and the superstitious.
It must not be inferred from this that
the fortune-telling palmists, and espe¬
cially the gypsies read the hand at
hazard. This would be very far from
the truth, for nearly every one who
pays any attention to this line of the
art works in accordance with more or
less definite rules* so tlint any fftirlv ex-
perienced palmist-even though mis¬
taken—would read subs* antially the
same fortune from the same pair of
hands at different times—not from mem¬
ory of the hands, but from the applica¬
tion of whatever rules he might be in
the habit of using. More tbau this,
any number of well-instructed gypsies
would read substantially the same for¬
tune from any pair of hands, within a
few days of each other, without any
consultation or collusion with eacli
other.
No one lias two hands alike. The
left hand—that is, the less active hand
—shows more nearly than the right
liaud one’s natural or inherited peculi¬
arities, while the right hand, or the one
more active, always exhibits more fully
the acquired characteristics. This dif¬
ference in hands, which is universal, in¬
forms the palmist as to which way the
man or woman is growing, and is there¬
fore one of tiie keys by which to unlock
many of the less easily solved mysteries
of the soul. Hands differ indefinitely
in size, ranging from the extremes of
large and small, and this difference ex¬
tends to flie three dimensions, so that
hands may be anywhere from long to
short, from broad to narrow, and from
thick to thin, and usually each pair of

On F'ke’s Peak.
A traveler who climbed the snow-cov¬
ered mountain one day in July, fouud
the officer in charge of the Signal Sir-
vice station melting snow. “Even in
the heat of summer,” he said, “there is
always enough snow to furnish all the
water needed.” “Does not life become
weary and desolate here, so far from the
world?” “So much so that I sometimes
fear it will drive me crazy. My duties
are light; they requi e only an occasional
inspection of the instruments. The
rest of the time I can only read. Too
much reading becomes wearisome. Some¬
times I stand at the window with my
and telescope. The wind without is keen
houses cutting as a knife. I can see the
of Colorado Springs, twenty
miles away, the visitors sitting in their
shirt-sleeves, sipping iced drinks to keep
cool, and ladies walking about in white
summer robes. I lower the glass; the
summer scene is gone. Green trees, an¬
imal life, men and women, fade away
like creatures in a dream, and I am the
only living thing in a world of eternal
ice and snow and science.”

With smokeless and noiseless powder,
such as, it is claimed, has been invented
in England, in the wars of the future
that are to be, death will take on still
more terrors. The first notice of the
presence of an enemy will be in the sud¬
den sinking down of men as thoug
smitten by a pestilence. The sentry
will die at his po9t and give no sign.
The sun will shine down serenely while
the battle rages, and no canopy will ob¬
scure the butchery.
The ice-water cart of New York, a
summer charity, consists of a large barrel
fastened to a running gear in something
the same fashion as the watering carts
are arranged, and being provided and with,
instead of a sprinkler, a faucet tin
cup, from which any one who wishes is
at liberty to drink.
