the showman, eagerly; “put down your

did tbe same. “Now walk this way,”
said the showman, “and I’ll soon con¬

HER BROTHER'S DEBT.
“Oh, Charley, Charley, how could yon
do such a thing?”
Lilias Wayland’s round cheek was
blanched to an unwonted whiteness as
she stood before her brother in the close,
cramped room which constituted her sole
home.
Charley Waylaud, ahandsomc dissipa¬
ted-looking youth of two or three and
twenty, with bold, black eyes and a merry
mouth that seemed made only to smile,
sat opposte her, lookiug half-repentant,
half defiant, as she spoke.
“Lilly, I couldn't help it. I tell you
I was hard up. A fellow must have
money; you women don’t know anything
about the temptations and necessities of
the world!”
“But, Charley,” she faltered, “do you
know how this same world, as you phrase
it, looks at the deed yon have just com¬
mitted? Oh, Charley, and her voice
grew low and tremulous, “it is a
forgery!’’
“Nonsense, Lill! It’s only borrowing
a part of old Gleneross’ unused millions
to aid my needs. I wrote and asked him
for cash, and he, the unmannerly lout,
refused. Well, what could he expect
after this, but that 1 should help my¬
self?”
Lilias wrung her slender hands.
“How dare you, Charley! That a
Waylaud should come to this 1’* she
wailed.
“Dared!” he echoed, recklessly; “it
was but the stroke ol a pen, after all;
and old Gleneross would bo a paltrier
miser than I take him to be if he makes
a fuss about a matter of five hundred
dollars.”
“It is the right and the justice of
thing,” cried Lilias, almost
“If we could pay him in any way; but
Lave sold everything that remains of
former wealth. Seel” and she
round the miserable apartment. “See
how I live! Last night I sat up until
midnight sewing to havo a little money
to pay the rent. I have not a jewel left,
nor a trinket.”
“Oh, bother, Lill! If old Gleneross
cuts up rough, it Is only taking a run
across the water. I know lots of ship-
captains thht would stow me away un¬
der their holds, almost any moonlight
night.”
Lilias looked despairingly at him.
Was it, then, impossible to make him
comprehend the moral obliquity of the
deed he had just committed?
“But I can’t stay fooling here,” ob¬
served the young man, with a toss of his
black curls. ‘ ‘I must be off about my
business. Good-by, Lill. Give us a
kiss, my girl. Except that you’re un¬
common fond of lecturing a fellow,
you’re not a bad sister in the main.”
After lie had gone, Lillias sat down to
try and realize the new situation in
which she and her brother wore placed.
AU now depended upon the spirit in
which Paulus Gleneross should receive
this new encroachment upon his purse
and patience.
Lily had never *»en this distant rela¬
tion, yet she had formed an opinion of
him in her inmost mind,ns wc are all apt
to do of unseen persons whom we lienr a
great deal about; and whenever sho
thought of Air. Gleneross the imago of a
hook-nosed old man, yellow-skinned
and cadaverous, engaged in sorting
over piles of mortgages or counting bags
of gold, suggested itself to her mental
eye.
“But he must he I nman, at least,”
thought Lily, in the agony of her dis-
tress. “If I go to him myself, and tell
him just what poor Charley’s necessities
were, and how good hearted lie is, in
spite of all his faults and thoughtlessne
_if I ssy frankly to him that I have no
money nor jjwels to reimburre him, but
that I will stay and work for him, as a
servant girl might work in the kitchen,
until I have discharged the horrible
debt, surely, oh, surely he cannot have
the heart to refuse. I can do a great
many things. 1 can sew and embroider,
and I can make good broad and biscuit,
and poor mama always said I was a good
housekeeper, and If Mr. Gleneross is
really so miserly as Charley thinks he
would look at the economy of the
thing. At least, it is worth trying.
So favorably did Lilias Wayland re¬
gard this idea, broached in her sore ex-
trecaity, that in two days from the even-
icgLin which she had bidden good-by to
her handsome, reckless brother, sho
stepped from the ears at tbe New York
depot, dr«aw4 ia a sober brown suit that
made her leak like a shrinking little
mouse, With her uarpet bug in her liuud.
A little inquiry sufficed to bring her
to the street where Mr. Gleneross re¬
sided—a stately avenue, lined on either
.
side with elegant palaces, the like of
which Lily had never seen in (he plainer
city where she had oeeh bom and bred.
Her heart sunk williiu her as she stood on
tlie broad browu-stoue steps leading up
to tlis carved rosewood dooi, on which a
silver plate bore the uame of “Glen-
cross” in old English lettejs.
Then, coloring deeply ut her own cow¬
ardly tnuulou ne-Jt and utter luck of all
resolution and enterprise, sho rang the
bell to settle the question ut once and
definitely.
“I* Mr. Gleuctosj at home?” she asked
of the colored servant who answered the
summons
Ye», 31 r. OUucrOM was at home;
would the young lady enter? And Lilias
was shown Into au apartment curtained
with heavy fold, of purple satin and
carpeted with velvet of the same rich
color, an apartment whose dusky splen-
dor made her think of all the stories she
had read of enchanted palaces in tho
realms of fairy land.
As Lilias sat on the silken sofa, wait¬
ing with a throbbing heart for the ap¬
pearance of her .nknown cousin, the
thought .tola into her mind that he
wasn’t so much of a “miser” after nil;
and then came a sick sort of misgiving
that her mission was all in vniu.
“For surely,” she thought, glancing
tremulously round the elegant apartment,
"he will not want any one to make
bread or look after the kitchen expendi-
tu res. I wish—ob. 1 w ish that 1 was
safe at heme again I”
?' 3 thought had scarcely framed its cl f
in her mind when a door nt the farther
end of the room was opened, and a tall,
handsome man, scarcely thirty years of
age, entered.
“I—I beg your pardon, sir,” faltered
Lilias, all in » Cutter, “but 1 wished to
sec Mr. Gleneross.”
“1 sm Mr. Gleneross.”
“You!” Lily rose up and sat down
again, coloring vivid scarlet. This, then,
was their “far-off" cousin, and how
widely different from their dreams and
fan cits ' Apparently the gentleman saw
and pitied her painful confusion, for he
•aid politely:
“May I a*k ia what manlier I asn be
useful to you!”
“I aw Lilias Wsyland!” she answered,
in a tone that was scarcely audible.
“Wayload I” A shadow, fuiut yet
distinctlj perceptible, overspread his
face at that word, and Lilias saw it with

not without a certain gleam of amuse¬
ment in the corners of his mouth at thc
idea of that pretty, slender creatine ren¬
dering up to him the equivalent of the
five hundred dollars, ‘And now, Cous-

knew it the girl found lierscif chatting
innocently away to her hostess, as if she
had lived all her life lu tlie sunshine of
that pleasant smile; while Paulus Glen-
cross, busied among some papers at the
table beyond, watched the sweet chang-
ing countenance with a new interest.
“I never saw such a lovely face in my
life,” he thought. “The profile is as
purely Grecian as the face of t he Hero
on my mother’s cameo, and the eyes are
as lull of shifting lights as a diamond!
Upon my word, this little new cousin is
an acquisition!”
When Lilias wrote her happy letter
home that night Mr. Gleneross added a
pleasant post^ript and Charley Way-
land knew fhift his season of peril was
over.
Lily had been nearly a m nth the

day Paulas, coming suddenly into tho
purple twilight of tile drawing-rooim,
found her sitting ail alone with tear¬
drops glittering on her peachy cheek,
“Why Lily, what is the matter?”
“Nothing, Puuhts"—they had grown
to bo good fiieuds by this time—“only
1 have been dreamiug very pleasantly,
aud the time of waking lias come at
last.’’
“You mysterious little sphinx, what
on earth do you moan?”
Bhe colored and cast down her eyes.
“The five hundred dollar 1 , Paulus—
they are yet to be paid. No—don't in¬
terrupt me. I cannot consent to indulge
your generous impulses. 1 mu t p >y

“Give it to me!” he interrupted,

‘'Paulus,” she cried in amazement,
“Lily, this is nonsense. If you want
to pay me you can.”
“But, Paulus, you know I have noth¬

Lily, give me yourself, 1 love you, dar-
ling, and would l'a’ii make you my wife.
Are you content to pay me in this
coin ?”
“Oh, Paulus!" she faltered, “J never
dreamed of so much happiness.”
And so Lilias Wayland’s indebtedness
was settled most satisfactorily.

The Huston Record thus relates a child’s
idea of justice: lu a home on Common¬
wealth avenue, not many evenings since,
thc father, unwonted to such duties,
thought it iucumbentupon him at a certain
period during the evening’s exercises to
take liis youngest son up stairs for a
short outing, based upon the child’s dis-
obedience to its m ther. The echoes
from the interview penetrated to the par-

for tho afflicted heir-apparent, a laugh
could not well be restrained, when, in tbe
midst of the “boo-hoos,” w..s heard the
shrill, treble voice, “Pa, I think it’s real

cannot be denied, but that it exists is a
settled fact, and it gains its name from
•-« -w - •- ^
of a hoop when alarmed. The hoop
snake has been frequently seen iu Texas,
where curious creeping reptiles abound,
and while there is no authenticated case
of death from its bite, yet it is greatly
feared by the natives, and especially the
negroes. It is alleged that thc snake
carries its poison in a sue located near
the tail, aud that when alarmed it
promptly reaches for the weapon of
destruction, thus forming a veritable
hoop. Stories of its locomotion in this
shape are undoubtedly exaggerated, hut
there is little doubt of the existence of
thc reptile. It is considered deadly, and
the popular belief where it exists is that
its poison will biight a tree.— St. Low

Looking After the Scalp.
Many think that by cutting the hair
short they iucrease its growth. But this
isdoubtful. Womenrarely becomobald;
yet they never cut their ha.r as do men.
May not their immunity from a shining
pate bc partly due to the fact that they
do not patronize the barber, nor wear
light head-gear? If in early life our
young men would look alter their scalps,
evon while they do not appear to need
attention, it might save them the trouble
of looking after them in sorrow at a later
period, when it will not do much good,
If they do not the time will come when
we shall have a raco of human beings
without hat r.—Boston Budget.
