A MONTH aad BOARD for three
Philadelphia, Pa.
A STRANGE VISITOR.
She was such & dainty little old
lady, with her aad, delicate,
haughty face, her snow-white hair,
her black glancing eyes, bright aa
stare.
The child was a mere baby, not
more than three or four years old,
Sbo bad on a white frock and tiny
scarlet shoes, but wore neither capo
nor bat.
Madame Van Dyck started vio
lently at sight of her standing
there so suddenly, as it she might
have dropped from the oeiling.
Then she said softly:
“Who are you Htr.Io onef Where
have you come from t”
The baby’s eyes met madame’s
fearlessly.
“P’ease, I’so Dado,” sho said
gravely, pushing a cloud of yellow
curls oft her face with both bands.
Madame’s cold eyes softened.
She almost smiled as she extended
her white and jeweled hand, saying
gently:
“Come and kiss me darling.”
The little ono hovered on tip toe
a moment, half turned away, like
bird poising for night, and then t
the lady took a step toward her,
darted off, as if winged really.
Madame followed quickly, but by
the time sho reached the door her
small visitor had vanished, and
though she summoned her servants
and caused instant and thorouj ‘
search to be mado, tho child cou
not be found.
A day or two after the stately
lady was in her conservatory. Sud
denly from somewhere near, sound-
ed a ohildish voloe:
“I’lltlssoo now it oo’tl di»e I
somo fowers.”
Turning quickly, madame saw a
cherub head parting the branching
leaves of a tall wbito lily just be
side her. Sho had not heard
sound till then, and there was tho
strange child again. Madame put
her hand to her side.
"Oh,” she murmured, in an ac-
cent of mingled pain and fright, “it
is Laura’s face over again—Laura’s
very face.”
The child stood still, looking at
her with her lovely shining eyes,
her small bands fluttering like the
two wings of a bird.
Suddenly madame caught, her in
her arms and kissed her with such
fervor, and hugged her so tightly,
that the little child cried out
sharply:
“Dada ’fraid. Put Dada down
tbis moment.”
But she did not cry, as Mad
ame Van Dyck noticed approv
ingly.
“Won’t you run away again If I
put you down?”
“Put Dada down,” repeated tho
child imperiously.
Madame obeyed, laughing as she
had not done for years.
“Now you small mystery," she
said, as she set her upon her feet,
“what next?”
The child held up the short skirt
of her gaily embroldorcd dress In
her wee Augers.
“Dada want fowers now. Dada
want a bnsbel of fowers.”
Madamo proceeded at once to
cut as nearly a bushel of her choic
est blossoms as her tiny skirt
would hold, taking whichever ones
Dada herself ordered with the baby
imperiousness of a thoroughly
spoiled child.
“She is Laura over again—just
Laura over again,” madamo kept
lg to herself, with lips that
trembled a little. “I can’t imag
ine where she comes from. But
she shan’t escape this time as she
did before."
She was bending at this moment
over a bed of violets, carefully
culling the largest .ami sweetest.
When she turned round, wltb her
bands full, her small visitor was
nowhere to be seen. At flrst Mad
ame thought she must be biding
among the plants, but she could
not find her. Theu she went
quickly to the nearest door—one
opening into the parlors—and
starched thoroughly herself.
Afterwards she questioned the
servants again, but as before, no
one bad seen any child—no one
but madame.
Madamo Van Dyck was the
widow of a very rieh man, whom
she had married late in life with
out loving, five years after, he
died, leaving her all his property;
lor be bad loved her.
There was one child—a little girl
—whom Madame sdored with an
absolute Idolatry. The child was
very lovely, very warm-hearted,
very self-willed, and was never de
nied the smallest whim, except
one. She fell la love with a hand
some young man when she was
seventeen, and madame ordered
him to leave her house, and never
enter it again.
The end of it was that Laura Van
Dyck, in a tasli and angry moment
ran away with her lover, and mar
ried him.
The two had never mot since.
“If she would only write and ask
me to forgive her,” tho poor moth,
er had thought In bitter pain, “I
would do it. But she don’t care
for mo anymore.”
The proud hurt woman nover
asked after her child; never sought
to know whether sbo lived or died;
but what her desertion had bcon to
her you might read in her white
hair. She was a miserable, unhap
py creature in all her pomp and
stateliness.
Oneo more the mysterious child
with the oberub head and blrd-llke
voice and movement came to Mad
ame Van Dyek.
She had been ill for several weeks,
and was only now able to sit up.
All through her sickness tho
child had haunted her; and partly,
perhaps, because bIio was siok and
nervous, sbo began to have strange
fancies about her.
“Sho was so liko Laura when
she was little,” she thought, “and
no ono ever saw her but mo. It
was very strange.”
And tbon, as madamo sat tbore
alone her door opened a little, and
then a little more, and the child
she was thinking of came softly in
to the room.
Sho wa9 dressed ia some kind of
a palo blue fleecy material, which
looked as if it might have been cut
from a cloud in the sky, and her
floating goldcu hair surrounded her
head like a halo.
“Laura's faco, Laura’s dress that
I keep looked in a drawer in this
room. Oh, what can it mean?”
m&damo muttered.
“Dada love oo," tho ohild oooed,
laying her velvet oheok against the
oold fingers that were clutched up
on tho arm of madame’s oltair.
Madame Van Dyck suddonly
leaned forward.
In Heaven’s name, who arc you,
child ?" she cried out wildly.
That moment tho door openod
again, and a figure entered that
was liko a magnified Dada, face,
dross, loving eyes and all
Mm
I thought you would certainly guess
who Dada was when you saw that
on her. Her name Is not Dada,
you know. It is Hilda, after you.
But that ts the nearest she oan
come to saying it.
“You talked Just like her when
you were little. Where is that
man?"
“Now, mother, don’t call him
that man. Fred is not very far
away, you may be sure. We live
only a few streets off. When may
we'come and seo you?”
“At onee. I forgive him every
thing on one condition. You are
all to como and live here with me.
I can't be separated from you agaio.
And if be und I are caeb careful to
mind our own business, we shall lie
a model mother and son-ln-Iaw.”

“Oh, mothorl” cried Laura, aod
then the two women wore sobbing
in each other’s arms.
“I should bavo como before tf I
bad thought you would lot me,”
Laura said, oryiug. “But you
never answered any ot my letters,
and when you sont them back with
out even opening them, I did not
dare to coma myself.”
“Letters 1” exclaimed Madame
Van Dyck. "I don't know what

“I wrote you soveral times. The
letters were always returned up-

Madame’s housekeeper was sum

Sbo turned whitest sight of her
mistress daughter, and confessed
to everything.
Hhe had stopped the letters her
self, and sent them back, thinking
that she could rob her mistress
with more impunity as long as she
could keep her daughter from her.
"Mother,” said Laura suddenly,
‘look at that child.”
Dada had climbed upon the chair,
exactly two inches and a half
square, and was composedly and
quietly crying all by herself.
“What are you crying about,
dear ?" asked her mother.
No answer.
"What is tho matter, darling?”
Laura asked again.
“Dsda kying about dose letters,

Madamo Van Dyck laughed
aloud.
Upon which the quaint little
orcaturo gravely put her handker

from her seat, and began to lauglt
too.
“It is strange I never thought of
her being your child, Laura,” said
madame. “Sho is so like you.”
“So everyone says. I thought

Fortunes In Dogs. '•
Among the $350,000 worth of
dogs exhibited at tho Now York
show, wore some worthy of note.
Two wero $10,000 dogs. One Is a
a deer-hound and tho other a
pointer. Of course no one would
pay $10,000 for either, but that’s
tho value placed on caeh by their
respective owners. Thors sre sev
eral dogs supposed to bo worth
from $2,000 to $5,000. Tho $10,-
000 pointer (Meteor) took the prize
for dogs of that breed. His com
petitor was an English dog (Beau-
tort), and the international rivalry
over the two was almost as strong
as at the walking match. The large
English contingent present main
tained that tho English dog should
get tho flrst prize, and the Ameri
cans held that the American dog
was entitled to it. Many bets were
made os to which would get it, and
when the judges deoided in favor of
tho American dog, about $5,000
changed hands.
An American Fable.
A big, red-faced Nothing was
strolling along the street when a
deputy sheriff slapped it on the
shoulder.
You aro just the chap I’m look
ing for.
What do you want with me?
I’ve done no evil.
Never mind, oome right along.
But I never stole anything.
I know it.
Nor lulled anybody.
I know that.
I never broke a law.
Of course not.
Then wbat can a sheriff want
with me?
You're a Nothing ain't you?
Yes, sir.
You don’t know anything?
Not a thing.
Don't want to know anything?
Not a cussed thing.
I thought so.
Well,
Well, we want you for a juror.
A dude wishing to bo witty, ac
costed an old rag man as follows;
"You take all sorts 'of trumpery In
