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 oM “ 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 a bear if that there stuff didn’t just save my life, as clean as wheat. I’m givin’ you the word with the bark on it, sure. It does beat all creation how that oil knocks the fur off’n rheuma tism. That’s what I had, and if it hadn’t been for that oil I’d been prospectin’ in anew country now. I’d like to shake the hand of the feller that makes it; I would. —Suit Lake City Daily Tribune. The Tallow Tree. Mr. O. N. Denn}', United States consul general at Shanghai, China, has sent to a friend in California, Cor dis tribution thoughout the State, a pack age of the seeds of the “ tallow tree,” which he thinks will flourish there, with the following interesting descrip, tion of the process by which its fruit is prepared for use : The nuts grow in clusters and are gathered in No vember. When ripe, the capsule di vides and discloses, usuallj’, about three kernels covered with pure, hard, white tallow. In preparing the tallow ripe nuts are put into a wooden cyl inder with a perforated bottom, and, after ten or fifteen minutes steaming, the tallow becomes so soft that it is easily detached form the albumen of the seeds by breaking them with mal- S TERMS, $1.50 PER ANNUM, ( SI.OO for Six Months. lots. It is then separated from the 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 pure state. Krona 133 pounds of seed is obtained from forty to fifty pounds of tallow, beside tbc oil obtained sub sequently from the albumen by grind ing, steaming and pressing it. The tallow is used for a variety of purpo ses by the Chinese, bnt more particu larly for making candies, which are burned in Buddhistworship. 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.
