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 fa-.ome spring, which you are willing to ruamtam wilii a our life, is superior to nil the others.

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 tued .-Of to take >“ >*“> a nap ™> d and "f been morning disturbed papers, by 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 me an 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.

I can never sufficiently thank you for the way you answered my telegram and I fullv appreciate the effort it must have cost you not to have first wired: “Why do you want to ^ow Miss Miller?

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, American Stock Farms.

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 hands differ one from the other in these three particulars.
