A Little Shop Girl.
“She’s an old darling," said Groce
Craxall, “and I iheou to help ber all
I can. I’ve, got a beautiful recipe for
chocolate caramels, and on Friday
evening I am-going there to make np
all I can, bo that the sfchool-children
will bay them on Saturday. I know
bow to make cinnamon apple tarts,
too, and lemon drops, and cocoanut
balls."
“Grace, I do believe you have tak
en lenve of yoor senses,” said Medora
May.- “One would think it was dis-
grace enongh for Annt Deborah—onr
own mothers’ sister—to open a hor
rid little huckster shop without oar
mixing oarselves np in tbo affair.”
“Aunt Debby mast live, yon know,”
said Grace, who was porched on the
window-still, feeding the canary with
bits of sparkling white sugar; “And
Cousin Nixon couldn’t keep ber any
longer, and ber eyes are not strong
enough for fiuo needlework, and her
education has not 6tted her to bo a
teacher, -nod her poor old rheumatic
bones keep her from going behind a
counter or entering a factory. I snp’
pose you Wouldn’t bo willing to have
her come here and live with you?”
“I?” cried Medorq. ‘Do yop sup
pose I want to proclaim to the whole
town that I have such a dilapidated
old relation as that?”
“I would take her quick enough,”
said Graco, “if I didn’t board with
Mrs. Howjtt and share the little
ap-stairs back room with the two
children. Just wait until I marry
some rich man,” she added, with a
saucy uplifting of her anbartTbrows,
“and then see if I don’t furnish np a
stately apartment for Aunt Debby !”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” said Medo
rn, acidly. “It’s very likely, isn’t it,
that a factory girl like you is going to
marry a rich man ?”
Grace Craxall laughed merrily. All
through life she and ber cousin, Me
dora May, had . agreed to differ on
most points. Grace, seeing no other
career before her, had, on the death
of her last surviving parent, cheerful
ly entered a factory, while Medorn,
taking her stand on the platform of
false gentility, bad done fine sewing
and silk embroidery on the sly tosnp-
port herself, putting cn all the airs of
a young lady of fashion the while.—
And now Aunt Deborah May, to the
infinite disgust of her aristocratically
inclined neice, had actually opened n
little low-windowed shop in a shady
street, just out of the main thorough
fare, and, as Medora despairingly ex
pressed it, “had gone into trade."
Poor Annt Debby, in her bewilder
ed loneliness, had scurccly known
wbat to do until Grace Craxall came
to the rescue with her hopeful eour-
uge and strajghtfurwnrd ■ common
sense.
“I only wish it wasn't sinfaLto take
a big iloio of landannm nnd put my
self out of iIn- way,” sighed the poor
old lady.
“Now, Annt Debby, that doesn't
sound a bit like vim," said Grace
cheerfully.
“But what am I to do?" said Annt
Deborah. ‘ I don’t know ns'l am
good tor anything except t.« l elp
around the house, ami I ain't strong
enough for regular hired help. Your
ancle always used to say that I was a
master hand at making bread.”
“Then make it," brightly interrupt
ed Grac.-.
‘Eb ?" suid Auut Debby.
•There's a nice little store to let on
B— street,” went on Gr >ce, “f< r $10
a month.’’
“But I haven’t got $10 a month,"!
eel.li interi ique t Annt Deborah.
•-I'll lend it to you," said Grace, I
“out of the wages I.havo saved. And
there’s a pretty bedroom at the back
of the shop, nnd q clean, dry base
ment under it, where you can bake
your bread. I know, for the sister of
the lady where I board is looking for
dress-making rooms, and I heard her
speaking about it.”
“Do you mean to open a bakery ?”
said bewildered Annt Debby.
“Not exactly that,” explained
Grnce, “but if Mrs. Howitt or Mrs.
Taylor, or any of the other ladies
around here, conld get real home’
mado bVoad, such as you mnke, do
you suppose they would put up with
the sour stuff they get at the bakers’
shops ? And you could ensily get up
a reputation on your raisin cakes nnd
fried crullers nnd New England
pumpkin pies. Now couldn’t yon?”
The old lady brightened up a bit.
“I need' to be pretty good at cook’
ing,” said she, “and if you think I
conld support myself—”
“I am snre of it,” cried bopefnl
Graoe. "And I’ll go there with yon
this very day to look at the place, nnd
we’ll engage it for tbreo months on
trial. And I can paint you a sign to
put over your front ’door, ‘Home
made bread by Mrs. Deborah May.’
And I'll hem you some curtains and
arrange the shelves in the low win
dow. I almost wish I was going to
be your shop-girl 1” she added merri
ly. “Bnt I can help you in the eve
uings, yon know."
Grace’s prophesies proved correct.
Auut Debby’s delicious home-made
bread, whiter than powdered lilie
sweet os ambrosia, soon acquired
reputation, and the old lady conld
scarcely bake it fast enough. People
came half a dozea blocks to bay tbe
yellow pampkin pies and delieioas ap
ple tarts; obildren brought their
hoarded pennies to invest in choco
late sweetmeats, vanilla caramels, and
cream cakes with puffy shells and de
licious centers of*sweetness. Tbe lit
tle money drawer grew fat with coins
and Aunt Debby’s dim eyes grew
bright and bopefnl again.
And one dny Herbert Vnlnnco,
walking with Medora May, stopped
and looked in.
“Isn’t that your cousin Grace be
hind the counter?" lie asked.
Medora turned crimson with v«xa-
tion.
"My cousin Grace," she suid. “No,
indeed; we are not—in trade.”
What posessod ber to^tter this de
liberate falsehood, Medora conld not
afterward have told. Partly tbo sting
of false shame, partly n disinclination
for Herbert Vniunce to know that her
relations were not, to nso her expres
sion, "ladies and gentlemen.”
Mr. Valance looked up at the sign
over the door.'
tf-he name is May,” he remarked,
inditlereutly.
"Yes,” said Medora, angry at hor-
self Mushing so deeply, “hut we are
no relation."
Mr.Valanoe'thonghtover tbo matter;
he afterward met Miss May at » party
given l>y u friend, where pretty Grave
Craxall was also present; he had
taken rather a fancy to the bright
blue eyes and delicate blonde beauty I
of the former. Valance Hail, on U u
hill just out of die city, was solitary
enough how that his sinter* Lad mar-1
tied and gone away,and peril ipsa man 1
might find a less attractive and grace
ful wife than Medora May. Bnt be!
conld not lie mistaken, In. thought, in .
Grace Craxa’d’s identity.
And so the next • veiling, about,thej
s,’.,- iime, lie sauntered into tbo
ly baked caramels off tbe pan. Sbe
looked np with n smile.
“Good evening, Mr. Valance,’’ said
she. ’ i
"So,” be thought, “I ‘wasu’t mis
taken after nil. And tbe little, blue
eyed seruph is mortal enongh to tell
a lie in spite of ber angelio appear
ance.”
Bnt bo looked serenely ak Grace.
“I didn’t khow you were' in trade,"
said bo.
"Didn’t you? Well,” retorted
Grace, “I-am Aunt Deborah’s shop
girl at present. I always come here
in tbe evening to help ber, because,”
she added, with a sweet sha’de of so-
riouosness coming over ber face,
“aunt was old and poor, and she
didn’t qnite know bow to maintain
borself in independence, and unfor
tunately, my wages at tbe factory are
not enough for both of us. So I ad
vised her to open this business nnd
she did, and sbe is doing well; nnd
she bakes the most delicious bread
and pies you over ate, so,” with n
saucy twinkle under ber eyelashes,
"if yon know of any customers, will
yon please recommend onr firm ?’’
"To be snre I shall," he answered
in the same spirit. “And I am very
glad, Miss Craxall, to see that you
are not ashamed of being a working
girJ.”
“Of course I am not,” said Grnce.
“Wby should I be ?”
"Bat you cousin Medorn is."
Grace’ gave a little Bbrag of ber
shoulders.
nnd I differ in many things.”
Mr. Valance bought a pound of
caramels and went away.
‘‘Sbe is a beauty,” be said to him
self; “nnd sbe is n sensible bonuty
into tbe bargain. One of those rara
a vises iu oar country, a thoroughly
well-balanced girl."
He must have keen very well pleas
ed with his purchase, for bo came
again tbe next evening, just in time
to walk home with Grace Craxall.
And they talked over Annt Deborab’a
affairs, and concluded as flour was
low jast then, it would be a favorable
opportunity for the old lady to lay in
ber winter stock, through Mr. Va
lance, who was acquainted with one
of the great New York grain mer
chants.
Only a 'ew weeks bad elapsed
when Medora May was electrified to
learn that ber coasin Grace was en-
gaged.
“To some muster baker or jour
neyman confectioner,” T] suppose,”
she said coi.teiti|ituonsly.
“.No,” saiil Grace, with eyes ro
guishly sparkling; "to Mr. Herbert
Vulance.”
I—don’t—believe—it,” s lid Medo-
r i, growing red, then pale.
"But it’s really so,”, said Grace.
"And we are to be married in three
mouths, and Annt Debby is to come
to tlm Hall and live with me us soon
as she can dispose of her business to
advantage. Ami, ‘dear Medorn, I
hope you will cotue and visit with me
there."
Me.nun May did not iinswer. She
c'hiM not. Bnt in her secret heart
s..e recognized how infinitely more
successful in life’s lists had been-
Grace’s true, frank honesty, than her
mvn subtle and devious course.
Like many another, hoWevei, the
less.>u Inul come to her too lute.

TUB BARTHOLDI STATl’E.
A Banning Statement or Fade In Re-
said to Ibis Great Work.
Atlanta Confutation. .
Tbe statae * was presented by tbe
French repnblio, and wns paid for by
the French people in small subscrip
tions contributed by almost every fam
ily in tbe land.
An ’American committee, which
bns labored most efficiently and en
thusiastically, look, np tbe work in
this country. In February, 1877,
Congress voted to accept the gift, and
set apart Bedloe’d island ns tbe site.
In 1879 all tbe funds necessary fvr
tbe execution of the statue bad been
raised in France. It ; s rather morti
fying to say that ail the funds neces
sary to build tbe pedestal have not
even yet been raised in America,
thongb tbe persistent efforts of the
Now York World bavo been so far
successful that tbe shame oi final fail
ure is likely to be nverted.
. Tbe work of executing tbe statue,
though involving many difficulties,
made rapid progress. On October
24th, 1881, the anniversary of the
battle of YorktowD, all of the pieces of
the framework nnd of the base were
pnt in place. The public flocked to
see it, and M. Bartholdi estimates
that 300,000 persons visited tbe work
shops. Tbe statue, says M. Barthol
di, “was nearly finished in 1883, bat
as tbe work on tbe pedestal was not
fur enough advanced to permit of its
erection, it was deoided to leave it for
some time exposed to view in Paris-”
last it was taken down,
inked in 210 cases, and
placed npon tbe French government
vessel Isere, which bas brought tbe
8tntno hither under tbe national flag
of Frnuce.
Tbe statue measures 46.08 metres
from tbe base to tbo top of tbe torch.
A metre being 39,368 American inch
es, tbe height above tbe pedestal is
about 151 feet. It is constructed of,,
copper sheets, kept in place by iron
braces, wbicb are clamped on to a
central core. As an illustration of
tbe 'Colossal si^o of tbe statae, M. Bar
tholdi mentions that forty persons
were accommodated in its bend at the
Paris universal exposition of 1878. It
is tbe greatest statue ever executed,
but M. Bartholdi warnn u * that we
must nut expect its appearance to be
colossal when it is in place. “In- tbe
immense picture which will snrronud
it, it will appear eimply in harmony
with the whole, nnd have tbe normnl
aspect of a statae in a public place."
