PBUDIE'S TRIAL
Prudie Warner »« entertaining

lag; and, although Prudie bad
hpx* from the gossiping Mrs, Tay*
tor that Hattie Belden thought
“Plrudenco Warner should have
been dropped long ago," she was
ss gracious- to bor as though said
Mt of gossip bad never reached her
cars.
Mrs. Bryant’s annual Now Year’s
E bad been talked over, and
e Belden was certain that her
bos test hod an Invitation when she
broached another subject.
"Mrs. Taylor was telling me that
you were making over your blue
silk. 1 am just about dying to see
It”
“Miserable old newsmonger,"
Prudie thought, as she brought out
the diets.
“Why, Prudence, it really looks
well. No one would ever know
that it was an old one worked over,
only, of course, those who have al
ways seen it, and you wore it Iasi
year, didn’t you ?”
“Yes,” admitted Prudii, who
knew in bor own mind all tbc mal
ice ami spite of her visitor’s jeal
ous heart.
“I have *a new velvet,” went on
Miss Belden. “But I suppose we
aboil all be eclipsed by Mbs Baton,
who la visiting Mrs, Bryant. Lce’i
betrothed, you know.”
Unexpected as was the blow, not
• sign did Prudie Warner give
that the news was aught to her as
•be went on folding the silk, prep-
oratory to laying it awny.
“Indeed; 1 did not know,”she
returned, quite pleasantly.
“No, it is not known generally,”
continued Miss Belden, keeping
fecr sharp eves upon Prudie.
But th. t yiung lady held her
osro bravely until bar mischievous
friend deputed, and was seen sale
Ij down the steps.
“Those village gossips, how odi
on they are t” she said to herself
with a sigh of relief.
, Then she went into her own lit-
Ik dressing room, where lay the
despised bluo silk, and her eyes
grew heavy with a burden of tears.
“Ob, how ( wish I were rich I”
abe cried. “I will not—I never
nan—go there now.”
If the dress was all, Prudie was
indeed very silly, lor the silk wa«
do lovely shade, and to look at it
no one would ever believe it bad
been worn before, modeled as it
was almost with the skill of a
Worth, and smothered in cream
colored lace; and there, too, were

Barely none could wish for a

But everything seemed to Pru-

And now the brown bend fell
upon her dressing table, ami she

Poor Prudie! She was only a
workingman’s daughter, and the
village tongues thought Mrs. Bry
ant, the rich inuns wile of Wil
mington, had made too much ol j feeble rav, "but that one ray cii;t
bcr. ;l || its light upon one lineol an an-
No good ever came of elevating ! cient illuminated ‘‘ter command

for their
in her horizon, those ever ready
tongues were eager at the slightest
sign to rend her heart with their
venom.
All this passed with lightning
rapidity through Prudic’s mind as
sbo sat there weeping; but try as
she would her thoughts would ever
return to Lee Bryant.
“I do not believe he is engaged
to her,” she said, but still tbs
thought ever protruded itself. “He
has not called on me for two whole
weeks.” Suddenly she checked
herself. “This will never do," she
said, and sprang to her feet, bath
ed her face in cold water, and
quickly dressed herself in her neat
gray walking dress and cap with
scarlet plumes, and went fora walk
in the chill December air, trying
ever to quiet the steady pain at her
heart; but thinking, ever thinking
of the endless shifts and tarns she
was forced to make In their daily
life by the emptiness of their purse,
and which seemed this morning so
utterly despicable to her.”
Prudie was a rapid walker, and
almost before she knew it sbe was
lieyond the outskirts of the village
and walking aloni a country road
bounded on each side by a high
osage hedge.
At length, however, sho turned
and began to retrace her steps. She
walked more Blowiy now, the wind
blowing in her face.
Far nbead of her the derd leaves
were whirling in little eddies and
heaping themselves at the side of
the road. She picked up a long,
slender stick and began turning
the leaves over as she passed, find
ing a languid sort of enjoyment in
her occupation.
All at once she started. Surely
that was no monster leaf. No, but
a well tilled, half worn leather
pocket-book, half covered over
with the hurrying leaves.
Prudie stooped and picked it up.
At that moment her bad angel
must have been passing, for she
glunced furtively around her, and
seeing no one, thrust it into the
breast of her jacket, and walked
on with hasty steps.
As she neared home she met
Mrs. Taylor, who excluiincd:
“Laws, child, how white you be!
Have yon heard the news? Old
Mr. Bryant has lost his pocket
book with over two thousand dol
lars in it, and can't lind hair nor
hide of it. ‘ lie has brsa postin’
up a reward for it—$100—there’s
one of’em,” pointing to a notice
at the corner.
Prudie read it hastily, and ex-
casing herself passed into her fath
er's yard, leaving Mrs. Taylor to
to soliloquize by' herself.
“She looks (it to drop. It’s that

ed her.
Prudie, on entering tho house,
found not a waiting father, but a
note lying on the table. It was
just tlie hour of twilight, and she
lighted the lamp and read:
‘‘PltUlUB:—My brother i» veijr sick at
Manchester, anil I am obliged to leave by
the 4-AO train. Wilt be home to-mor
row. Katuch."
Tbits left to bcrsclf, sbe closed
every blind and drew every cur
tain in tbc little cottage.
Always before when left at
borne alone, site had gono to some
of the neighbors lor company, but
to-night site wished to see no one.
Qlancing stealthily around into
every corner of the darkened apart
ment, she drew the heavy pocket-
book from kerbresst and opened
it.
Yes, there it was, rolls and rolls
of money, more than she had ever
seen together before in her life.
Over $2,000 of that perilous stutl
for which men barter tbeir souls
every day—for which women sell
the happiness of tbeir lives for
ever.
Need I say that site was tempt
ed ? The poverty of her everyday
life rose before bor—the bright
love dream of her life, which lay in
ashes at her feet, passed before her
mental vision. No one saw her
pick it up. Site could destroy
every article within it, and even
her own father would never Icel j
the lass, while sho must toil, un- |
loved, because site was poor.
Instinctively her hand took vrp
the pockotliook and the few papers
it contained, and placed them in
the open grate.
Then site went for kindlings and

Warner was again dressed Injbpr
gray walking suit and upon the
street—this time bound for the
great house upon the hill.
\ It was a timid little pull that
Prudie gave the bell, but it was
Immediately answered by Mrs. Bry
ant herself, who kissed l’rudie af
fectionately aa she entered.
“My dear, why have you not
cal,ed on us before ? I have been
telling Eva all about you, and
have, looked for you every day.
We have been very lonely since
Lee bas been in New York, but be
re urned to day. Come in and see
Eva," and she hurried embarrass
ed Prudie into the breakfast room.
“My niece, Eva Eaton, Miss War
ner,” she continued. “Why, Pru
die, bow dazed you look 1"
“Well I may," said Prudie re
covering berself. “1 found Mr.
Bryant’s pocketbook.”
“Is that so?” cried Mr. Bryant,
from the other side-of the room.
“Where on earth was it?”
Prudie explained as well as she
was -ble, while amidstall the excla
mations that followed, golden hair
ed Eva Eaton bad slipped into the
scat by the side of Ptudic, and had
managed to whisper:’
“Lee told me all about you. my
dear.”
“Well, Prudie," said Mr.Bryant,
“you'arc a very honest little girl,
just the one I want tor a daughter-
in-law.”
“Charles!” said Mrs. Bryant, re
proachfully, whilo Prudie’a blur.hes
deepened.
“Never mind tbc joke, l’rudfe,
here is the reward,” and Mr. Bry
ant held up, not $100 but $000, for
Prudie to accept. ’
“No. Mr. Bryant,” she said, firm
ly. "1 cannot tnko it—indeed. I
cannot.” And she hold fast to her
resolution, in spite of all his per
suasion.
Sho started toward Iter home a
much lighter hearted little girl
than when she left it, hut still in
heart she thought:
“What would they think of me
if they knew all?”
When alio reached home some
one was waiting tor her..
It was Lee Bryant just from tho
depot.
“1 could not go home before I
saw you, Prudie,” he said. “See
what I got for you in New York.”

“Now, darling here is your en

year’s present,” and he drew a
jewel case from his pocket, con
taining an entire set of rubies to
match the ring in setting and bril
liancy. And I want you to wear
them all to-night.”
Miss Belden and her set gave up
all.thoughts of “dropping” Pru
dence Warner when they saw her
enter Mrs. Bryant’s parlors on the
arm of her betrothed husband,
and saw how Affectionately site was
greeted by the host and hostess.
Her bright, piquant face, radiant
with happiness, the glittering
gleaming jewels, and the despised
blue silk, made a picture no one
could surpass. And lovely Eva
Eaton was by her side, a friend
whoso friendship was ever after
one of the bright spots of bcr exist
ence.
Long alter site told her husband
the story of her temptation. A

The New Jersey Democratic as
sembly has adopted a resolution fa-
foring “a tariff for revenue limited
to the necessary expenditure of the
government, and so adjusted as to
give protection to home productive
industry and labor, without pro
ducing or fostering monopolies.”
This is in effect the position taken
by the Ohio Democracy last fall,
and reproduces the tariff plank up
on which lioralio Seymour stood
in 18IS8. Unquestionably it also
voices the sentiments ol the De
mocracy cf this state to-dav, and
is the industrial bultlc-ciy witli
which this year's presidential vie- j
tory can be won.—[Ex. 1
