THE DOCTOR’S MOTHER.
“ Edgar St. Charles will marry Ada
Appleton.”
Mrs. Meredith spoke composedly,
nodding her head as she did so. Her
hostess looked at her in surprise, and
her hostess’ daughter. Ethel Lee. lost
from her fair face all semblance of at
tention to the conversation of young
Mr. Bvron Meredith.
“ YGti think so, Mrs. Meredith ?*’ in
terrogatively from Mrs. Lee.
‘‘l certainly do. Ada is a beauty
and very captivating; St. Charles is
a rising mail. Tuc match would please
her family. Then there is the power
of propinquity, you know.”
” I know,” returned Mrs. Lee, some
what lievtaingljq “ But this should
not be cnonght to make Dr. St. Charles
marry Ada Appleton.”
“ You will see.” affirmed Mrs. Mere
dith, as she rose. "Come, llyron, il
you arc done saying pretty things to
Miss Ethel, we will go.”
Byron Meredith's complimentary re
marks to Miss Ethel were certainly at
en end, it was so evident that the girl
in her own thoughts, ILemse,
casting a half-reproachful last glance
at the fair, downcast countenance, and
in a moment Mrs. Lee's callers, mother
and son, hail taken their departure.
In spite of herse’.f Etiiel looked piti
fully at her mother.
“ I do not believe it, dear,” said Mrs.
Lee.
With a throb of gratitude toward her
mother, Ethel’s heart yet ached as
though a sword had been thrust through
it. She stood at the window a moment,
as if watching Chrome, her canary, but
her heavy eyes did not see the little
creature, and she turned from the
window at last and went up to her own
room.
sbc flung herself face downward
across the bed, and lay shivering and
thinking bitterly enough in the cold
chamber. Though her mother had the
utmost confidence of this pure young
girl's heart, she wanted to be alone
awhile with her meditations.
All the long pleasant autumn Dr.
Edgar St. Charles, prince-like and
almost perfect, the most delightful of
companions, favorite with young and
old, had frequented Mossmcre, as the
picturesque old farmhouse was called,
and for weeks Ethel had enjoyed the
sunshine of his society, sweet and an
conscious as a flower.
Rut one day her father had said,
with a half-laugh:
“Child, do you suppose your hand
some young doctor comes to see me or
your mother ? No ; he eoines to see
you.”
Ethel’s blue eyes opened wide with
surprise.
“ Mother !” she said, appealuigly, the
rosy color mounting to her temples.
“Certainly, my dear ; youaresixJteen
years old, good and pretty. Why not ?”
responded Mrs. Lee. quietly.
The cdor faded slowly from the soft
cheeksr Ethel grew thought ful; from
that moment she was no longer a child.
And all winter the visits of Edgar St
Charles at Mossmere cont inued. It was
a delightful home, and Ethel Lee. so
widely different from the girls of the
period whom he Was constantly in the
habit of meeting, had a decided charm
for him. She was his secret ideal of
what a giil ought to be. and yet there
was Ada Appleton and the influence of
Elmoroft. the most magnificent estate
in the country.
It was frequented—yes. thronged—
by the wealthiest, the gayest, the most
fashionable people. He saw them con
stantly. daily Lived in this artificial at
mosphere. lie felt sometimes that
only the grave responsibility of his
callin' and the influence of the sweet
rrirl at Mossture kept him from be
coming as light a butterfly as the rest.
FOR THE PEOPLE.
For luxury had not been the rule of
t£dgar £>t, Charles' life. Tljre is no
royal road tb learning, and from the
abstemious life of a student l*e had be
come an inmate of this home of pala
tial ease ; and to the exquisite piinistra
tions to his comfort he was not indif
ferent.
Theodore Winthrop says: “The man
who does not enjoy luxury is a brute ;
the man who cannot live without it is
a weakling.” And part of the luxury
of Eluacroft was Ada Appleton. No
pictured creation was ever so bewilder
ingly fair—a hour! with nothing to
employ her idle white fingers but the
counting of the rose tinted pearls that
formed her favorite necklace.
And for Dr. Edgar St. Charles all
her smiles were honey sweet. Ilis
voice, manners and beautiful physique
pleased her fancy, and she knew that
he was considered talented. She was
proud of his escort on public occasions.
Whatever Ada Appleton might have
been to her inaid, Edgar St. Charles
found her exceedingly agreeable, lie
was indebted to her for man}' pleasant
hours, for some of the family cordiality
which made his stay at Elmcroft so
delightful ; for Ada was the only
daughter, and to be pleased at any
cost.
As Mrs. Meredith had said : “The
match would be agreeable to the fami
ly !” And vaguely he felt it.
For a fortnight before Mrs. Meredith's
call upon Mrs. Lee he had not been at
Mossmere. The cause of his unusual
absence was simply the demands of
his profession.
There was much sickness at High
bridge and through the adjacent
country ; he was incessantly busy—
somewhat overworked. He did not
even see much of Ada.
But in the long winter evening, when
his merry laugh and bright presence
was absent from the hearthside at
Mossmere, Ethel realized a strange,
new, aching void in her young heart.
They were a quiet family, fond of a
few intimate friends, but seldom fre
quented general society at dinners or
parties ; and in Ethel's little world the
brave, bright presence had grown to
take so large a share.
Mrs. Lee saw with concern that Ethel
oved, was drooping, and impulsively
combatted the idea that St.. Charles
loved another. She had studied the
young man—believed that he appre
ciated her daughter; and if this were
true, how could lie marry Ada Appleton
with her selfishness and limitations,
beautiful as she was?
“Propinquity!” she murmured.
“That is an argument against it. lie
must, thrown so much in her society,
learn her selfishness, her insincerity',
her heartlessness.”
But for Ethel there was no such
hopeful consolation. She had great
self-respect, but little self-esteem, and
with deep appreciation of beauty',
caused by' an artistic temperament,
her cause so modest in its claims
seemed quite lost.
“Of course he will forget me for
her,’’ she mused.
Mrs. Meredith was own aunt to Ed
gar St. Charles. Her house was a fine
one, on the outskirts of High Bridge,
and just at this time she gave a large,
general party', inviting the Appletons,
Dr. St. Charles, the Lees and many
others.
“ I ao not care to go, mother,” said
Ethel, dejectedly.
Poor child ! The world seemed so
very hollow, and she was so y’oung,
and her powers of endurance un
developed. But she yielded to her
mother’s wishes, and when the pale
brown silken hair, with its tinge of
gold, was looped in braids and fastened
from the white temples and roseate
cheeks by clustering white bouvaclia
and sprays of lace-liko green, that
(railed from the graceful coiffeur to the
hem of the rustling, moonlit, silken
robe, no fairy was ever statelier or
lovelier. Ethel saw her beauty with
a start of surprise.
“ Mother, am I really so pretty?”
she asked, looking with innocent eyes
of frank delight into her mother’s
pleased and tender face.
“ My darling, you are beautiful and
good as you are lair.”
And so, with her secret grief half
consoled by those words of love, Ethel
went to the Meredith party.
There were many strangers present,
and among them a little, wrinkled, old
lady', with a plain cap and blaek alpaca
dress, looking strangely out of place
in her corner, though evidently much
entertained bv the novel sight of the
gay' company'. Her dress was extreme
ly neat and suited to her years, if not
to the oceasioo.
Ami EtoeL and her mother, after a
singleglance and thought to this effect,
were passing by when their attention
was attracted by a half-subdued sound,
very like a scliool girl giggle, arid turn *
ing beheld a tnerry group surrounding
Miss Ada Appleton.
Her gold eye-glass, raised to her
lovely fringed eyes, was directed to
ward the corner where sat the little
old lad}l in alpaca, ami by the smiles
curling the lips of those around her
the remarks falling from her ruby lips
were evidently very atmiSing.
The surging crowd of promenaders
pressed and her mother a little'
closer to this group.
“Oh, I know!” Ethel heard Ada
say, “ it’s one of the extinct species
Professor Dabney was telling us of
last winter. Dow interesting aid how
very kind of Mrs. Meredith to so pro
vide for the entertainment of her scri
ons minded friends!”
The air of mock gravity and the
graceful contortion were indescribable,
and half a dozen lace handkerchiefs
went up to rosy lips that must not
laugh too loudly.
I will do this group the justice to
say that they were the very youngest
of Mrs. Meredith’s guests, and had
recently been Ada’s school friends. It
was but a year and a half since the
young ludy had left the academy.
But Ethel’s cheeks burned. She
met Ada’s beautiful eyes indignantly,
am} as her mother not overhearing the
objectionable remarks serenely join
eTa group of matrons, she slipped
her hand from her arm and stepped
back into the old lady’s lonely corner.
“May I sit here a moment?” she
asked, with a sweet, apologetic smile.
“ I am a little tired.”
“ Yes, dear; certainly, certainly,”
replied the old lady, gathering her al
paca skirts to make room for Ethel's
fair drapery on the little sofa; and
then she looked, with evident pleasure,
more closely at the sweet countenence.
“You don’t look tired,” she said, at
last. “ You look as fresh as a May
morning. It is very nice to be young,
though the old have their pleasures.
Of course, nobody notices the old lad v
like me in this corner, but I am really
enjoying myself. I live so quietly in
my house in the country that the com
pany, the dancing and the music are
very entertaining to me. Mrs. Mere
dith is my sister. I arrived unexpec
tedly to night, intending to give her
and my son a surprise. lam not pre
pared for attending a party, but sister
promised to arrange a dress suitable
for me as soon as she could get a mo
ment of leisure ; but I—l thought I
would slip in quietly for a little while
and not make any trouble. I presume
no one has seen me but you, my dear.”
There was something very sweet in
this simple and unconscious old lady’s
manner. Ethel replied with a smile,
and continued the conversation, hop
ing to divert her companion that she
might not discover Ada’s eyeglass and
the merry faces of her friends. Sud
denly, to her surprise, she saw Edgar
St. Charles, his flashing eyes fixed
sternly upon the merry-making group.
Suddenly advancing upon the haughty
Ada, “Will you allow me?” he said;
and taking her hand upon his arm.
led her before the little old stranger.
“M isa Appleton, allow me to pre
sent you to my mother,” he said ; aud
then, not giving the gentle old lady
time to rise, he swept the young lady
to a seatand took a ceremonious leave
of her.
In a moment he had come back to
the sofa in the corner, and his brow
cleared.
“Soyou and Miss Lee are getting
acquainted, mother?” he said, gladly,
“I hope,” he added, bending closer,
“thatyou will come to love each other
as much as I love you both.”
► Out of the long evening at Mrs.
Meredith’s party those were the only
words that Ethel distinctly remem
bered, but they rung sweetest music
iu her curs all night.
And when morning came Dr. Ed
gar St. Charles, driving out with his
dear, little old mother, in the presence
of her mother, who also “loved them
both,” offered to Ethel his heart, hand
and fortune, and, apparently not with
out fear and trembling, awaited his
answer.
Itw. s a mo;Kcntnu> occasion. I can
only say that it ended happily for all
parties.
“Mrs. Meredith thought you would
marry Ada Appleton, Edgar,” said
Mrs. Lee, after the wedding.
Dr. St. Charles looked thoughtful,
lie did not just then confess that he
had almost done so.
Horse Trading Extraordinary.
THIS BOYS RELATE TIIEIR EXPERIENCE
AROUND TIIE CAMP FIRE.
A lot of old veterans were sitting by
a comfortable (ire the other night, in
a certain Utah camp, calling over the
husks of memory, and revamping
old experiences for entertainment.
Trading Hanks, after irrigating at the
bar, said :
“ See here, boys, I guess none of you
ever come as near turnin’ up your
toes as I did the time I had that spell

“ Qh, give us a rest on that and tell
us how you cheated them tender feet
in Nebraska out o( all that horse
flesh?” said a powerful miner from a
corner of thc room.
“I’ll be dingswizzled, pard, if you
hadn’t better put your words close
together when you slash at me. I'm
a knocker from lvnockerville, I am,
and don’t you forget it!”
” Well, I was born about four miles
below there, Hank, but I didn’t mean
no insult. But if you want to flop,
why just fly your kite !”
“ I was livin’ near Kearney, Ne
brasfcy, tryin’ my hand at poker and
boss trading’ for a livin’. Some fel
lows from Cheyeune came along a: and
cleaned me out of my money and
every danged boss I had but Kickin’
Dick. It was a rare game, though,
and I couldn't grumble.”
“ The next day after this one I went
ito town on Kickin’ Dick. The sher
iff comes up to me and sez, * liank, I
guess I'll take that boss on this exe
cution.’ ”
“ Hold on, Bill,” sez I, “ would you
rather have the money ?”
“ Every time !’’ sez he.
“ Well, just watch me trade awhile,
and I'll soon give you the cash.”
“All right, old man, go in,” sez he.
“There were a lot of tenderfect in
the town, the greenest lot } T ou ever
seen. They had just cleverly got set
tled in the country. So I went for
’em,”
“ Well, boys, I traded seventeen
times that afternoon, and had money
enough before night to pay off the
execution of SIOO, and went home on
Kickin’ Dick with SIOO more in my
pocket. Y'ou see, that boss was the
terriblest kicker and bucker in the
world. No man hut me could ride
him. He could almost kick the mo
lasses out of a ginger cake, and when
he bucked he would make a man
throw up his toe nails. Every time
I traded Dick 1 got boot, and I al
ways charged boot to take him back
again.”
“ But as I was say in’ when Pete
cut through the drift, when I had that
bad spell a year ago, I came pretty
nigh goin’ over the falls. It was down
to Provo. I’ll be eternally explunctificd
ef I didn’t git sheered when the doctor
said I had to pass. The folks where
I was stoppin’ sent for one of the sky
pilots and the fellow prayed for me.
It sounded like free gold to me too, I
can tell you, for I didn’t know nothin’
about the country where they said I
was a goin’, and I rutlier had a hank
erin’ after stayin’ here a little longer.
Well, the docter bid me good bye and
went away, but Mollie—that’s my girl,
you know—she didn’t give up in that
fashion.”
“ Hank,” sez she, “ I’m goin’ to rub
you with some oil; I believe it will
cure you.”
“ Gentlemen, may I be hugged by

save my life, as clean as wheat. I’m

it, sure. It does beat all creation how
that oil knocks the fur off’n rheuma

seeds by sifting it through hot sieves,
but, of course, it is discolored from
mixtures with the brown testa of tho
seeds, and in order to strain it is
poured into a cylinder made up of
rings of straw placed one on top of the
other, then put into a rude press, when
the tallow is squeezed through in a

is obtained from forty to fifty pounds
of tallow, beside tbc oil obtained sub

She Wanted a Warrant.
“ Say, mister, l want a warrant right
quick !” enclaimed an irate woratwr, ae*
she dashed into police headquarters;
“ \\ hat do you want of a warrant ?”
asked the' sergeant
“ For my servant girK ffas she got
any right toekase me around the lions©;
with a clothes-pole ?”
“Certainly not.”
“ That’s what I thought. Which of
us has a right to eat at the first table,-
she or me ?’’
“ Whv, you-, of course.”
“ So I supposed;. I wantfco-know if f

with the oats four nights in a week
while she gives parties in the kitchen?*’
“ Assuredly not. Why don’t you*
discharge her ?”
“ I can't get near enough.- Say, does
the law justify her in using my false'
teeth todraw carpet tacks, and making:
me shin around with nothing on but
a hair-pin and a sore-throat, while she
wears my clothes to a wake ?-”
“I don’t believe it does.”
“Solconcluded. GY me a warrant.”
“ Can’t get any warrant here. You’ft
have to go before the Judge in the
morning.”
“Will, ch! Well, I won’t? If you

Trustee Pullback then offered the 1
following resolution ?
“ Resolved, Dat usurpashuu am de’
deathblow of liberty.”
“ B-r udder Poll back,” said the presi

the top of his spectacles, “ do>you k-novr

“ I—l ’spec I doca, sail.”
“ What is it .
Brother Pullback hesitated, scratch'--
ed his car, rubbed his elbow, and was
evidently fast aground on a- sand
bar.

resumed the president. “ Dar am too
much chin-music in dis kentry ’bout

She Fetched Him.
Women sometimes have great pres
ence of mind. A wife saw
that a prisoner had'got between her
husband and the unlocked door ami l
was going for it like a Scotch-terrier for
a rat hole. She knew she hadn’t the
strength to seize and hold him, and'
besides he had a knife, so she didn’t
try. But she stepped into a side cor
ridor near the head of a flight of stairs
the prisoner had got to descend, 3’ank
ed off her hoopskirt. and 1 , aa he pass
ed, flung it before him. The wa3’ lie
turned handsprings and- somersaults
down those stairs was a caution to cat?,,
and his frantic struggles after he
reached the bottom would have attract
ed folks from a dog fight. When Uio
jailor came up the fellow had got him
self so entangled that he was absolute
ly helpless, was doubled up in terribly
uncomfortable ways and was choking
to death, and’ so- completely wound'
up that the jailor had to cut him out
with a hatchet, and it took half a yard
of court plaster and a pint of arnica
to make him at all comfortable.—Bos
