She was of undoubted aristocrat¬
ic parentage and descent and had
the entree to the most exclusive
drawing rooms in the city. Had he
ever troubled to think about it at
all he would probably have experi*
ence'd some misgivings as to the
legitimacy of the alliance of which
he was the result. He certainly
was aware of the suspicion, which
inevitably manifested itself in his
presence whenever he l^ppencd to
he thrown outside of Use circle in
which his peculiar idiosyncrasies
were overlooked and his social at-
tributes duly appreciated. .
She belonged to the upper crust
oi society and, imbued with all the
instincts and traditions of her class,
delighted in her life of case and ob-
scurity. He also appeared to be in-
nocent of any exacting occupation,
He was generally to be seen bang-
ing about at the street corners or at
the doors of taverns, but neverthfe-
less he had acquired in certain quar¬
ters a reputation as a man of action
and determination—in a word, as a
“character.”
Her name was Poppet. She was
known by no other and was famil¬
iarly called so by princes and po¬
tentates in the grandest salons.
Great authors, philosophers, artists,
musicians and statesmen endeavor¬
ed to propitiate her. “ Even dowHger
duchesses, generally very self con¬
tained beings, treated her with con¬
sideration and occasionally used all
sorts of endearments toward her.
Still her pretty curly head was not
turned. Tie reason why the reader
will presently discover.
He was known as Jim Lukens
among his associates. But he was a
fellow of infinite fancy and possess¬
ed a happy knack of christening
himself every now and again as he
considered the exigencies of the mo¬
ment appeared to demand it. Thus
when enjoying the hospitality of her
majesty at one pension privee he
was one person, and in another he
was a different person altogether—
nominally at least. He did not find
that continual rebaptisms mitigated
the severity exercised in the official
circles in which he frequently found
himself, but he did not think it ex¬
pedient to become too well acquaint¬ the
ed by name to the lights of
bench. Except ir his one love af¬
fair he had a deplorable lack of am¬
bition.
decks Poppet lived with Udv Doll*
m Park-tone, Hyde park.
She wa*pot her ladyshipis daugh-
ter, as Lord Dollydacks died with-
out issue. Ncituer uas she ter
niece. Lady Dollydeeks cultivated
a comfortable hatred of all her kith
and kin. She felt it was the proper
thing tor a woman of her quality to
co and it saved her irom annoying
intrusion Before her marriage to
The ate lamented governor general
of Coromandel Lady Dollydacks
had been the widow of a wealthy
sugar planter, and there her past
history ended She had no recollee-
ion ot what she was previous to
her V, est Indian matrimonial ven-
itue. No, poor Poppet was me e .
her ladyship r little protege and can
hardly be said to have had anv ex-
pectations beyond the immediate
comfort of her surroundings.
Poppet was admitted critical, by men disenin- and
women of the most
.ve >e and of the highest*rank
to be simply perfect iiTTorm and
beauty. than Jim was described'in more
one “official” cyclopedia of bi-
dim ographv as repulsively ugly. In a
sort of fashion he was con-
scious of his physical deficiencies,

^, er>
Their first meeting, if it can be
so called, happened in this way:
It was one beautiful summer
morning. He was leaning over the
railings looking of the “drive” in Hyde park
at the brilliant equipages
and their fair occupants as they
passed him. There was a tinge of
sullen, inquiring cynicism on his
irregular but expressive features.
He was reflecting in his own crude
wav upon the strangeness of the
dispensations of Providence. He
was a homeless, irreclaimable pa-
riah. These vivid crowds seemed
veritable gods and goddesses.
All at once the discontent vanish-
e d out of his face, and it became
irradiated with an appreciative in-
telligenre. An open carriage, em-
blazoned regardless of expense and
grawn by a couple of beautiful black
horses, was arrested by the oppos¬
ing stream of traffic immediately in
front of him. Two servants in gor¬
geous livery sal upon the box. The
footman’s calves, incased in fle«h
colored hose, would have made the
soidisant first gentleman of Europe,
then lately deceased, green with
jealousy could he have seen them.
The man was a model of deport¬
ment, a creature after Mr. Turvey-
drop’s own heart. He was motion¬
less, silent and pompon3, and his
face wore that peculiar look of supe¬
rior vacuity of which those moving
among the aristocratic circles of so¬
ciety seem to possess a monopoly.
But Jim did not bestow more
than a glance upon the servants.
His e} T es at once became riveted
upon her. She sat in the midst of
her embroidered cushions alone.
Lady Dollvdacks insisted upon her
taking the air in this way every
morning except Sunday, when she
accompanied her ladyship to church
to listen to the voice of the Rev.
Charles Honeymoon crying in the
fashionable wilderness. During her
matutinal drive Poppet performed
the only duty expected of her. She
brought home her ladyship's daily
supply of literature from the circu¬
lating library in the carriage with
her.
Jim's fingers clinched the rail in
front of him, and a look of set de¬
termination came into his pale face.
She sat watching the occupants of
the other carriages as they passed
her and was w’hollv oblivious of the

Durin f the n « t was

' roll in her
ln £ 3 and saw her past
ca ri every morning . He had
dlscovere j her residence and knew
alT about her goCtigs in and goTng?
out. He had even in some extraor¬
dinary manner become possessed 01 •
her genealogical tree and had com¬
mitted the names of her illustrious
ancestors to memory, a curious man¬
ifestation of interest for one with
his antecedents. There was some
sort of fascination about him, too,
for her, as every time she passed
him her eyes were irresistibly drawn
in his direction for a moment.
Jim had followed her carriage to
the library on several occasions.
One morning he was absent from
the park, and she gave a sigh of re¬
lief a? she missed his face. Bat he
was waiting for her outside the li¬
brary. accompanied by another man,
whose general appearance at once
placed him in the same evil category
as him self. The footman descended
from the box and went inside. She
remained without., in the carriage
shivering instinctively with fear.
Almost immediately Jim's compan¬
ion stepped into the road and struck
one of the restive and high spirited
horses with a stick lie carried.
An altercation with the coach¬
man ensued, and that worthy’s at¬
tention was distracted from his
charge. In an instant Jim reached
over the back of the carriage and
lifted poor Poppet right out of her
seat in his strong arms. He stran¬
gled her cries with one of her own
6ilken wrappers and, turning down
a bystreet, was soon lost in the in¬
tricate mazes of St. Giles.
She was abducted in broad day¬
light. Her struggles were utterly
futile. She was lost to her world
forever.
The turns of fortune’s wheel'are
most curious. Jim soon wearied of
poor Poppet, and after a great many
vicissitudes she was at length oblig¬
ed to perform tricks in a traveling
circus. As for Lady Dollydacks,
she was quite inconsolable for the
loss of her favorite poodle.
Safety of the Mails.
To demonstrate the safety of Un¬
cle Sam’s mails and the honesty of
the postal clerks a traveling sales¬
man undertook to send a silver dol¬
lar to his daughter in a distant city.
He pasted on the side of the dollar
a bit of paper, on which he" wrote
the address, and on the other side
put a one cent stamp, offering the
dollar as merchandise. A foreign
friend, with whom he had had a dis¬
pute as to the safety of the service,
warned him that that was the last
he would hear of the dollar. But a
couple of days later the patriotic
salesman received from his daugh¬
ter a letter acknowledging the re¬
ceipt of the dollar.—Detroit Free
Press.
The Light That Failed.
They sat on the couch. He gazed
on her with love beaming from his
eyes, while her orbs flashed back an
effulgence that rivaled the electric
light.
“You arc—you are”—he breath¬
ed, rather at a loss for words of af¬
fection—"you are the light of my
life!”
She gave him a look of alarm and
then whispered softly in his ear,
"Take care my father does not put
you out!”—New York Herald.

Queer Name For a Newspaper.
Id “The Plains Across.” in The
Century, Noah Brooks, the author,
says:
At Fort Bridger we had a slight
taste of civilized life, though we
were yet on the savage frontier,
Here were four companies of dra-
goons with all the paraphernalia of
war, to sav nothing of women, dogs
and sheep. Here was a large and
well stocked store kept by an army
sutler, where one could buy pretty
much really anything that civilized peo¬
ple need. One man’s want
manifested itself in a hand of tobac-
co, for another nothing short of a
handful of raisins would suffice and
a third hankered for a stick of red
and white candy. Here, too, we
got our first newspaper since leav¬
ing the Missouri. It was The Valley
Tan, published in Salt Lake City
and then more than two weeks old.
No matter, it was a newspaper. The
first domestic manufacture intro¬
duced into the Mormon settlement
was that of leather, and to that was
given the distinctive title of “valley
tan,” it being tanned in the valley.
As other articles were made by the
isolated people each was called ^val¬
ley tan” to distinguish it from the
imported sample, and very naturally
the first newspaper was given the
same name.
Hawthorne's Honeymoon.
The subject of a young woman’s
essay last summer was Hawthorne,
and in her essay she said, “At the
age ried of thirty-nine Hawthorne mar-
and took his wife to the old
manse.” The day after the com-
mencement two of the village worn-
en were talking over the affair, and
one of them remarked:
“Wasn’t it awful that Maude
should say such a thing in her es-
1
pay?” Tier
friend inquired what she al-
1 uded to.
“ Why, she said at the age of thir-
ty-nine Hawthorne married and
took his wife to the old man’s.
Why didn't she say to his father-in-
law’s ?”—Philadelphia Times.

MAKING COFFEE.
Two Methods of Preparing This Ar>
matic Beverage.
The boiling or leaching of coffee
is entirely a matter of taste. Cof-
fee so soon loses its aroma, which is
its best quality, that twenty min-
utes after it is made coffee is a very
indifferent beverage.
If drunk immediately after it is
made, coffee is the most delicious of
all beverages, and it is just as good
boiled if it is served at once as it is
leached. Indeed, inanv like it bet-
ter. If it must stand any time after
making, it is better to leach it. This
is done perfectly only in a French
coffeepot.
Ooffee soon loses its flavor and
becomes bitter if allowed to stand
on the grounds after boiling. A
good rule for making coffee is to
measure and a tablespoonful for the pot
one for each cup. This is for
breakfast coffee. After dinner cof-
fee should be made the same. The
cups are so much smaller that it
w jH be enough stronger.
In boiling coffee put the required
2T' Uy 'Y "m ' H egg t e11
and one cupful of coid water. Stir
it briskly with a spoon, then rinse
the coffee from the spoon into the
P°t with a dash of cold water.
As soon as the water in the tea¬
kettle boils fill as many cupfuls as
are required from the kettle, pour
the hot water over the coffe <’- P ut
0,1 U '° cover stand the pot over the
gas flame and just when the coffee
boils three seconds dash a little
cold water in to settle it. Let it
stand a minute, then serve.—Bever-

Vampires In Guiana.
When the West Indies were first
discovered, hogs were put on some
of the islands. These in time in¬
creased wonderfully, so as to be¬
come vast herds, affording a supply
of fresh meat to the mariner sick
of the scurvy^ In Guiana, howev¬
er, these animals never became com¬
mon, but, on the contrary, required
the greatest of care to preserve them
from the vampires. Domestic ani¬
mals, like man, sleep at night, and
here the bats have the advantage of
them, while the wild quadrupeds of
the forest range and feed at the
same time as their sanguinary en¬
emy. Hence it has followed that
peccaries roam securely and are
quite free from the vampires, while
their domesticated cousins must be
housed and caged.
