PBUDIE'S TRIAL Prudie Warner »« entertaining • caller this gray December morn* 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 the tiny white kid boots and long dove*, end the delicate cream col- «■*&>. Barely none could wish for a mere defeats toilet for Mrs. Bry- sd annual party. But everything seemed to Pru- di« in a distorted and poverty •trieksn light this morning. Bow she did wish she could have m bright, new dress. Everono would have a new dress but her- •etc Bat go she must, and bo as bright sad - gay as the others, for every one would sus|>cct her secret; for £ee Bryant bad been dove-eyed Prodie’s greatest friend and cava lier sinco childhood, and new they •old he was engaged to Kva Eaton, th* blue-eyed fairy visiting at Ids mother’s. Oh, the wcaiincss of living! Oh. the bitterness of poverty I Dull grinding poverty I And now the brown bend fell upon her dressing table, ami she fouud relief iu that woman’s boon —tears. 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 a person 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 Leo Bryant’s goings on with Eva Eaton! i dun know as I enro, she’s always been that set up above her betters because the Bryants notie. 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 nnd a mutch. It burned with Morning came cold and gray, the morning before Mfs. Bryant’s party. Before nino o’clock'Prudie 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.” and ho held up a brilliant spark ling ruby ring, set in the finest And then she was obliged to an swer a question Unit made the two young hearts the happiest in all Willington village. “Now, darling here is your en gagement ring; this is your new 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 kiaa was bis reply. Cerrect 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 A noteworthy poker player was ! lost to the game when -Edward | Xcidercrs died iu Memphis.
