THE FACTORY GIRL.
It was a little studio. quite at the to|)
of the house. Upon tho easel that oc
cupied the post of honor in the middle
of the room ■was a piece of canvas glow
ing with soft tints of a spring landscape,
nnd Frank Seymour stood before it,
palette in hand, liiB largo brown eyes
dreamy with a sort of inspiration.
In a comfortable easy chair by tho
door sat a plump, rosy little fomalo, in a
lace cap with plenty of narrow white
satin ribbon fluttering from it, nnd a
silver gray poplin dress—Mrs. Seymour,
in fact, our artist’s mother, who had
just come up from the very basement,
“to see haw Frank was getting along.”
"Here, mother,” said tho yonng man,
with an enthusiastic sparkle in his eyo,
“juBt seo the way that sunset light
touches the topmost branches of tho old
apple trees. I like the brown subduod
gold at that tint; it somehow reminds
me of Grace Teller’s hair.”
Mrs. Seymour moved a little uneasily
in her chair,
"It's very pretty, but it strikes mo,
Frank, yon nro lately discovering a good
many similitudes between Miss Teller
and your pictures.”
Frank laughed good-humoredly.
"Well, mother, she is pretty.”
"Yes, I don’t deny that sho’s pretty
enough.”
"Now, mother, what's tho meaning of
that ambiguous tone ?” domnudod tho
yonng artist pleasantly. "What have
you discovered about Miss Tellor that
isn’t charming nnd womanly and lov
able ?"
"Frank, do yon know who she is V”
“Yea, I know that she Is a remark
ably pretty girl, with a voioethat sounds
exactly like tho low, soft rivulot whoro I
used to play when I was a boy.”
"Nonsense,"said Mrs. Hoymour sharp
ly.
“Well, tlion, if yon nro not sntirfflod
with my description of her ns she is,
would yon liko to know whnt she will
be?”
Mrs. Seymour look puzzled,
" Mother, I think one day bIio will bo
my wife I"
'" Frank 1 Frank I aro yon crazy?"
" Not that I know of,” said Mr. Sey
mour, composedly, squeezing a little
deep blue ou his paletto from a dainty
tin tube nnd mixing it thoughtfully.
"Wo know so littlo about hor,”
thought Mm, Hoymour. "To lie sure,
she is visiting Mary Elton, nnd Mary
belongs to a very good family, if ahu
does live in half a house nnd takes in
fine embroidery for a living. But then
she has no etyle ns compared with
Oynthin Barker, and Cyuthln always did
fancy our Frank, Then, moreover, she
has ilvo nr six thousand dollars of hor
own. But, dear mo I a young man in
lovo is the most headstrong creature
alive I”
Mrs. Seymour mused a wliilo longer,
and tlion put on hor mouse-colored silk
liounct and gray shawl and set out on a
tour of investigation.
" I'll And out nliont Miss Toller, or
i'll know the ronsou why,” thought tho
indorntigahlo widow,
Miss Urnco Tellor "was at homo,”
kolping Mary Elton on an elnliorato
piooo of embroidery, Tho room wliero
the two girls Bat was very plain, carpeted
with tho chonpost ingrain, and curtninod
with vory ordinary pink and white oliiutz,
yet it looked snug and olioory, for tho
fat blackbird was chirping in the win
dow, and a stand of mignonette nnd vol-
vet-blossomed pansies gave a delicate
refinement to the detail of ovory-day
life.
Mary Elton was pale, thin, and not
at all pretty, (hough there was a trem
ulous sweotnoss about hor mouth that
seemed to whisper that she might havo
been very difloront under diflbront cir
cumstances. Grace Teller was a lively
blonde, with largo bluo oyes, roso leaf
skin, and hair whoso luminous gold foil
over her forehead like an anroola.
As Mrs. Seymour ontcred a deeper
shnde of pink stole over Grace’s beau
tiful chcoks, but otherwise she was
culm and self-possessed, nnd really par
ried the old Indy’s interrogatories.
"Very warm this morning,” said the
old lady, fanning herself. "Do they
havo warm woathor whore you oomo
from, Miss Tellor?”
"I believe it's very sultry in Factory-
ville,” said Grace, composedly, taking
another needleful of white silk.
"Faetoryvillol is that your nntlvo
place? Forhaps, tlion, you know Mr.
Porker—Oynthla Parkers fathor—who
is superintendent of the groat calioo
mills there?"
"Very well—I have soon 1dm.”
"Aro you acquainted with Oyntia?”
"No, I believe Miss Parker sjiends
most of tier time in the city.”
"That’s vory true,” said Mrs. Sey
mour, eagerly.
"Oynthla often says there’s no soolety
worth having in Faotoryville, only tho
girls that work in the factory, and
Oynthla is very genteel. But, excuse
my ourfosity, Miss Teller, how did you
beoome acquainted with Mr, Parker and
not his daughter?”
Grace oolored.
“Business brought me in oontaot fre
quently with the gentleman of whom
you speak, but I never happened to
moot Miss Parker,"
Mrs. Seymour gave a little start in
her chair. She was beginning to seo
through the mystery.
“Perhaps you have something to do
with the oalioo factory ?”
“I have,” said Graoe, with calm dig
nity.
“A factory girl?” gasped Mrs. Sey
mour, growing red and white.
“Is thore any disgraoe in the title ?”
quietly askod Grace, although her owe
cheeks were dyeing orimson.
"Disgraoe? Oh, no—oertainly not;
there's no harm in earning one’s living
in an honest way,” returned Mrs. Sey
mour, absently. The faot was she was
thinking in her inmost mind, what will
Frank say ? and anticipating tho flag of
triumph she was about to wave over
him.
“Ido not hesitate to confess,” wont
on Graoe, looking Mrs. Seymour full in
the eye, “that to the calico faotorylowo
my daily bread.”
“Very laudable, I’m sure,” said tho
old lady, growing a little uneasy under
the blue, clear gaze, “only there aro
steps and gradations in all sooiety, you
know, and—and I am a little surprised
to find yon so intimate with Miss Elton,
whose family is—”
"My dearest friend, my most precious
.•ompauion," she murmured. "I should
lie quite lost without her, Mrs. Sey-
ipour.”
The old lady took her leave stiffly, and
did not ask Grace to return her call, al
though she extended an invitation to
Mary, couched in the politest and most
distinct terms.
"Frank !” she ejaculated, never once
stopping to remove shawl or bonnet,
"who do you suppose your paragon of o
Miss Teller is ?”
“The loveliest of her sox,” returned
Frank, briefly and comprehensively.
“A factory girl I” screamed the old
lady at the top of her lungs, “a factory
girl 1”
“Well, what of that?"
"What of that? Frank Seymour, you
don’t mean to say that you would have
anything to say to a common factory
girl?”
“I should pronounce her a very un
common factory girl, mother,” said tho
young man, with aggravating calmness.
“Frank, don’t jest with me,” pleaded
the .poor little mother, with tears in
her eyeB. “Tell me at once that you
will give up this idle fancy for a girl
yrho is in no respects equal to you,"
“No, she Is In no respects my equal,”
rotumed Frank, with reddening check
and sparkling eye, “but is in every re
spect my superior. Graco Toiler is one
of the noblest women that over breathed
this terrestrial air, as well as tho most
beautiful. Mother, I lovo her, and slio
has promised to bo my wife.”
Mrs. Seymour sat down, limp, lifeless
and despairing.
"Frnnk, Frank, I novor thought to
seo my son marry a factory girl.”
And thou a torrent of tears came to
her relief, while Frank went ou qnietly
touching tip tho scarlet foliage of a
splendid old maple in tho pioturo.

"So you aro determined to marry me,
Frank, in spite of everything?”
Grace Tellor had been crying; lliodow
wns yet on hor oyelnshos, and tho uu-
nnturnl crimson on her ohooks, ns Frank
Seymour rnnio in, nnd Mary Elton con
siderately slipped out to search for n
missing pattern.
“I should rather think so,” Bald
Frank, looking admiringly down ou tho
golden head that was stooping among
tho pansies.
"But your mother thinks mo far lie-
low you iu social position."
“Social position ho ignored 1 What
do I care for social jmsitiou so long ns
my lit lie Grace lias consented to make
sunshine of my homo I"
“Yes, blit Frank ”
"Well, but Graoe I"
"Do yon really love mo ?"
For tho answer lie took both tho fair
deliento hands iu his nnd looked steadily
into tier oyes.
“Frank,” said Grace Teller, demure
ly, “I’m afraid you’ll make a dreadfully
Strong-willed, obstinate sort of a 1ms
band,"
"I shouldn’t wonder, Grace.”
And so Hie purplo twilight faded into
purple softer Ilian the slindow of tho
eastern ninethysta and the stars enmo
out ono by one, and Htill Frnnk nnd
Graoe talked on, and still Mary Elton
didn’t succeed iu lluding the missing
pattern.
Mrs. Hoymour was the first to arrive
at Mrs. Bandall’s select soiree on tho
first Wednesday evening iu July; tho
fact was she wanted a chance (o confide
her grief to Mrs. Randall’s sympathetic
cnr.
"Crying ? Yes, of oonrso I hnvo lieoti
crying, Mrs. Randall; I've done nothing
hut cry lor a weok,"
"Mercy upon us," said Mrs. Randall,
elevating tier kid-gloved hands, “what is
the matter ? I hope Frank isn't iu any
sort of troublo?"
‘My dear," said tho old lady In a mys
terious whisper, “Frank has been on-
trnppod—inveigled into thu most dread
ful entanglements. Did you ever fancy
that he, tho most fastidious anil particu
lar of created beings, could lie resolute
ly determined ou marrying a factory
girl?"
Mrs. Randall uttered an exclamation
of horrillod surprise, and at tho same
moment a party of guests wero an
nounced, among whom was Miss Teller,
looking rather more lovely than usual.
"Well," thought Mrs. Hoymour, as
her hostess hurried away to welcome the
newcomers, "well, wonders never consol
Grace Teller at Mrs, Randall's soiree I
But I suppose it'H all on account of
Mary Elton's undo, the judge, Iloro
oomo Mr. Parker and Cynthia; dear
mo, wlint a curious mixture is our
Amcricnn society; how they will be
shocked to hoc Miss Teller I"
Involuntarily she advanced a stop or
two to witness tho meeting. Mr. Parker
looked quite ns much nstonished as she
Imd expected, but somehow it was not
tho kind of astonishment that was on
thu programme,
"Miss GrBOo I You hero? Why,
When did you oomo from Faotoryville ?"
“Yon aro acquainted with Miss
Toller?” asked Mm. Randall, with Homo
surprlso.
"Quito well; iu foot, I have had tho
management of hor property for some
years. Miss Toller is tho young lady
who owiih the extensive calioo fac
tories from which our vill igo takes its
name,”
"Donr mol” exolalmod J'rs. Hoymour,
turning pale, and sinking .town upon a
divan near hor. "Why, they say tho
heiress of the old goutlumau who owned
tho Faotoryville property is tho richest
girl iu the country. ”
"Grace,” said Frank, gravoly and al
most stonily, "what does this mean?”
Tho blue cyos filled with tears as she
clung closer to his arm,
"I can’t help owning the calioo fac
tories, Frank. Don’t you lovo mo just
as well as if I didn’t?"
"My littlo deceiver I But why did
yon not tell mo ?"
"Why should I toll you, Frank? It
was so nioo to loavo tho heiress behind,
and be plain Grace Tellor for a wliilo,
and when I saw how opposed your
mother was to our engagement, a spark
of woman’s willfulness rose up witlriu
me, and I resolved to maintain my in
cognito, oomo what might Mrs. Boy-
mour,” she added, turning archly round
and holding out hor baud to tho dis
comfited old lady, "didn't I tell you
that I owed my doily broad to tho
faotory ?”
And poor Mrs. Hoymour for onoo in
her life wns at a loss for an answer.

"Yes, sir.”
"The very flrut dividend will probably

Tlie Gamblers Wore Driven Out,
Four Havoyard ehimnoy sweepers at
1’oulouse, in 1701, having finished
everything in tho way of their profes
sion, nnd not having a penny left, took
n resolution to enlist for soldiers. Ac
cordingly they recoived ton Lois-d'ors
each, but the oflloor thought it neces
sary, by way of precaution, to look them
in a kitchen with some flagons of wino.
As long as the liquor lasted they wero
quiet enough, but when exhausted they
began to think of making their csonpe.
They were not long in settling that
point. There was a largo chimney be
fore them, whioh they mounted with
their usual dexterity, and being fairly
got to the top, they held a oouuoii, when
it was unanimously resolved to go down
another chimney. In going down tho
lirst tumbled into a great Are, out of
whioh he jumpod oovered with soot, fol
lowed by his three companions. The
place happened to be a gaming bouse,
nnd the company, taking theso advou-
turors for so many devils, ran down
stnirs ns fast ns they could, leaving
their money, to the nmount of 12,000
livros, behind them. This tho Savoy
ards seized, and in an iuHtunt remounted
the chimney, running over the tops of
Hie houses, aud deBoeuded again into
their apartment, just as the officer
oponed the door with some provisions.
Tlioy offered him his money again, with
a lmudsomo profit, whioh ho accepted,
and tlioy returned to their country thus
enriched, and highly delighted with tho
adventure.

Illinscit.
"NolsoOrockor lived near White Lako,
in Bothel tnrnpike, Sullivan Co., N. Y.,
where his grnudfnthor hnd boon a pio-
ncor settlor, and kopt a tavern. In tho
fall of 1820 Nolso had his cabin in tho
woods noar what was called Big Fond,
and ono day he and his dogs struck the
trail of pan thers along tho edge of Faint
er Swamp. Tho practiced eye of the
hunter discovered that there wore tracks
of no less than seven of tho forooiotiB au-
imnls. Ho followed tho trail with his
dog a long distance in the swamp with
out discovering any game, and tlion sat
down on a log to eat his lunch nnd rest
himself. Suddenly IiIb dog bogan to
bristlo tip nnd to growl nnd tho next in
stant n Inigo puntiior sprnug from a troo
near by, nlmost touching Crocker’s
vhoilldor ns it sliot past him. It struck
tho ground a few feet beyond nnd bound-
sd off into tho swnmp.
“Crocker onught up bis gun nnd lost
ao timo in starting in pursuit of tbo pau-
tlier. Tho dog bad followed it immedi
ately and wns yelping along ahead on
tho track of tho nnimnl. Crockor's dog
wns an exception to most hunting dogs,
for, as I hnvo mnny times hoard tho old
hunters sny, there wero very fow dogs
Hint would follow a pauthor’s track.
Noise's dog overtook tho panther, or
probably tho -panther waited for him.
At any rate ho pitched into tho panthor
without delay nnd was whip|>od in three
seconds. Crocker mot his dog coming
back, badly used up. Tho hunter wont
on and found thu panther in a tree. As
ho was niming at it a noise ill tho swnmp
attracted his attention, and, looking iu
Ihnt direction, ho hiiw another panthor
rushing toward him, hounding over tho
tops of the laurels like a rublior ball.
Crooker’s interest In the nnimnl in tho
tree vanished nt onoo nnd ho turned his
gun on tho now arrival, and by a lucky
shot killed it, Tho report of the gun
was followed immediately by yells of
panthers from all parts of tho swamp,
and, ns Crocker hnd now no dog to aid
him, ho thought that tho best thing he
could do would bo to beat, a retreat from
the swamp. Two panthers brought lip
his rear, but did not approach to within
shooting dlstnuce of Nelso, Thoy fol
lowed him, however, to tho edge of the
swnmp.
"When he reached his cabin ho found
his dog there ahead of him, looking
sheepish and ashamed of himself. The
more Noise thought of tho way ho hail
left the field alone to tho panthers the
madder he got, nnd when ho discovered
that lie had left his hunting cap, which
was made out of a wo1(‘h Hkiti, behind
him in tho swamp he swore that he
would go bnok and reoovor it, skin the
pnnthcr ho hnd killed, and tackle the
rest of the drove, if ho got chnwcd up
himself. Tho dog wasn’t hurt so badly
ns lie thought, lint ho did not suppose
that it would ever gonround whoro thoro
was a panther again. Yet, when Nelso
started back for tho swamp next morn
ing to redeem his reputation ns a pan
ther hunter, what was his surpriso to
sue tho dog gnthur himself up aud
march resolutely along ns if awnro that
ho ought to rotriovo his reputation and
wns determined to do it.
"On ronoldiig tho soouo of his on-
ooiinter witli thu panthers tho day lie-
foro, Grookor found his lint and tho body
of the slain panther. Nelso hognu tak
ing off its skin, when, iu glancing up iu
a tree near by, ho saw another ono
crouching down oil a limb. Crookor
shot it, and it tumbled down to tho
ground, but jumped to its foot nnd
olimbod to tho top of a small chestnut
troo, which bent over wi'h tho weight
of tlio auimal until it was only a few
foot from tho ground, Tho pnnthcr
dropped to tho ground, aud Orocker’e
dog at onco seized it, but with olio blow
of its paw it knocked tho dog twenty
foot away. Crocker had boon trying to
reload his gun, but the ramrod stuck iu
thu socket, ami delayed him ho that tho

sat down opposite the emperor, and was
socn deeply interested in conversation.
Ho kopt edging his chair toward tho
emperor's, and Anally seized one of his
Majesty’s numerous coat-buttons and
began turning it, talking earnestly
meanwhile. Tho count oould scarcely
believe his eyes, and ho finally burst
out indignantly at tho old man:
“How dare you? How daro you i
treat his Majesty with such familiarity
aud handle him iu that manner ?”
The old mayor looked up, surprised,
glanced coolly at the count, and said,
haughtily:

rushed upon him while his gun wus still
empty. Tho second experience of the
dog whs again too much for his valor,
and he ran away. Crocker, taken at a
disadvantage, was also compelled to seek
safety in flight. The panther followed
him, nnd wns gaining at every jump,
when Crocker throw down his rifle. The
panther ran to whoro lie hnd thrown tho
guu nml paused a short timo to inspect
il, enabling Nelso to make good his es
cape from tho swamp, beyond whioh tho
animal did not pursuo him
"When Crooker oooiod off ho oursod
Ills cowardice, and going to his cabin,
lie took his hunting ax, which, for some
reason that ho wns novor able to explain,
ho hnd failed to carry on eithor of his
other visits to tho swamp. Armed with
this, ho wont back to moot tho panthor
lie had wounded. Ho hnd not long to
wait, for ho had gone but a short dis
tanoo in the thicket whon tlio infuriated
beast sprang out of the hushes, alight
ing directly iu front of Noise. It jumped
ror his throat before tio oould dolivor a
blow with his ax. lie drow his knife,
ami, by a lucky thrust, buried it iu tho
panther's heart. It wns more than
luoky, for tho panther’s forepnws wore
ou his breast aud its wide open jaws at
bis throat. In falling baok it sot itB
olawu in the hunter’s clothing, aud tore
them from him from the shoulders
down. Leaving the panther in its death
throes, Crookor hastened to the spot
where ho had thrown his rifle, aud found
it. He lost no time in loading it, for lio
knew that it was moro than likely that
the dying ories of the panther would
summon others to the spot, aud he had
barely got bis rifle ready before bo
hoard ono springing from tree to tree
townrd him. It soon camo in sight, and,
discovering Crookor, crouched for
spring in the crotch of a tree a fow feet
away. Nelse waited for the leap, and as
the panther left the tree he fired. The
bnll entered its heart, nnd the animal
fell (load at Crocker's feet.
"Noise's dog, probably unable to fooo
nis master after deserting him twice iu
n strait, hnd disappeared, aud Crookor
nover saw him again. Finding himself
thus left to combat panthers nlone,
Nelso couoluded that it would bo best
to let the ones still remaining have the
swamp to themselves, so lie took tho

UNCLE SAM OF PIATT,
The Hiller nl ('lilenKo’n Ntoeh Ynrde Nnr*
Omaha Will Ile tho Hrcaf Catlle
Market.
Mr. Snmuol W. Allerton, of Chicago,
tho stock yard king, is known nt homo
ns Undo Ham of Piatt, because on
’Change ho is alwnys illustrating his re
marks about the crops with reference to
"my farm in Platt county.” This farm
covers six Bqi’.nro miles, and in spito of
its size is ono of tho finest nnd host-
cultivated farms iu Illinois.
"I will mako this prediction,” said
Mr. Allerton to a reporter. "Ten years
hence Ornnlin xvill be tho great enttlo
mnrkot of the country. Four years ago,
in Hoouo county, Nebraska, there wero
but four or flvo Bod housos. Thore aro
moro cattle led there now than in any
four connticB in Illinois. As the coun
try becomes settled and divided into
farms, tlio cattle raisers aro pushed fur
ther wost. Cheap lands aro necessary
to rniso enttlo. There wero moro cattle
raised in Illinois iu 185fi than to-day,
and tlio productive area lias passed wost
of tho Mississippi.
"The finest abattoir iu tlio world is
being erected at Omaha. Chicago lias
320 acres in its stock yards, which wero
built about 1807. Tho vnluo is somo
$16,000,000, and tlio yards are owned
principally in Boston. Tho new ynrdB
nt Omnhn, when completed, xvill cover
400 acres. The cost will bo about 8750,-
000. Mr. William Paxton is president,
and ho nml J. II. Hwau are principal
stockholders. Tho yards xvill ho com
pleted in September. St. Louis lias 000
acres of yards, which cost some $2,000,-
000. They wore built nbont 1878, aud
nt present aro tho oomplotost yards in
tho country. Thore are some twenty
acres of yards nt Sixty-fourth street, in
N. Y. city, and thirty nereHin Jersey City.
There are flvo yards nt Knnsns City,
also.
"Speaking of exporting cattle,” con
tinued Mr. Allerton, "I began shipping
live enttlo to England about 1807, and
dressed beef three years later. When I
began exporting, a little 1,250 pound
steer xvonld bring $150 in London. Now
it takes a good 1,1100-pi mud stoer lobring
$100. The value has been reduced 33
per cent. Originally tho Englishman
preferred our dressed beef, but being a
good judge of meat, ho xvill noxv pay 33
per cent, more for livo cuttle. Conse
quently it happens that it pays belter to
ship livo cattle, although it costs $30
each to ship them against $7 dressed.
The only advantage to tlio dressed beef
shipper is that ho call buy coarse, ehortp,
mid tough animals, slaughter tlifm here,
ulid make them tender by refrigeration,
The fresh, juicy tusto ih lost, however,
nnd the Englishman knows it. I say
this, although L export both kinds,
"Throe yours ago I chartered two
English steiimors to export entile, t in
sisted that tho ventilation should bo sat
isfactory to me, and had it put ill tlio
contract. Whon a storm oomes tlioy
linlton down tlie ship, aud tlio stock are
half suffocated. Homo of tho animals
die, and tho remainder loso lunch flesh.
When the steamers reached Philadelphia
I demanded that blowers bo put in to
force air into tlio stalls. Tho English
men wore obstinate, and declined to
plaeo tho cattle on board. Separate
suits wero brought in behalf of each ship.
I claimed a broach of eontrnct, Tho
courts deeided against me iu the ease of
one steamer nnd found damages fur mo
in the case of tlio other, ou tho sumo
evidence. 1 npponlod tho case against
mo and tho Englishmen appealed tho
caso against them, Tho matter stands
undcoidod to-day. ’•

Upon tlio opening of tlio meeting, tlio
club took up thu matter of unfinished
business, and Whalebone Hoivker called
up the enso of Playfair Driggs. Brother
Briggs borrowed an nggregato sum of
$17 from various membura aud skipped
