R. W. JORDAN 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.” B0K» *LUCK,f.~’ , TIIB MAN WHO (IOT $15,000 IN AMT- TERY—MEMPHIS MICK. ,a.,. Fortune seems to favor (tils neighborhood, for hardly a Louis iana Lottery drawing takes place without singling out some Junky ibis t Laun l”soreamcd Madame Van Dyok. “Have you come back to me ?” “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 ; toil moan. I bavo never had a line i rom you bIdcc you loft me for that m an.’’ “I wrote you soveral times. The letters were always returned up- oponed. I can Bhow thorn to you.” Madame’s housekeeper was sum moned. 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, too.” Madamo Van Dyck laughed aloud. Upon which the quaint little orcaturo gravely put her handker chief in her pocket again, got down 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 you would guess who she was at once, and I hoped the sight of her would BOften your bean towards me.

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 your cart, don’t you?” “ Yes, yea, Jump in, Jump In.”
