MAUD’S REVENGE.
‘■‘You see,” he said, “this may be oar
last afternoon together.”
Hearing this she looked up in his
face with her beautiful eyes.
“What do you mean?” she said.
.. “I’m going aiyay,” he answered, “and
y<?.u know-how*it,i§ in.jthis. world. Peo
ple just' meet as* they do’in a stage
coach, like each other, part, and go by
different paths to different places. Prob
ably we shaltnever meet again.”
She made no answer. Something
that did not seem to be her heart, it
was so cold and heavy, beat against her
heart and choked. This man had been
making love to her for -three months—
an age in the life of a girt of sixteen.
She had every reason to believe that he-
desired her for his wife. He had taught
her to love him and now he was coolly
making his adieu; but what could she
do? Nothingrbut stifle every appear-
‘aned'of emotion, and 7 bear -the- blow in
silence as best she miglit; * In love wo
man has no fights that can be asserted.
"We all know that well enough. She
may have her own purse, perhaps some
day.her right to vote;’but in those mat
ters that touch her most deeply, she is
by the law of custom—by the command
of her own pride also —the veriest slave.
“-And so/’ he said, “I thought we
might see oiir pretty river bank onco
more. ”
Anti she go! back her voice.
“I hope it is not so dump as it was
yesterday,” she said. “Thanks; I'll
not take your arm; I must lift my dress
and hold m.y parasol, you know,”
.“She. donH mind/t as ■ mucli/ns I
thought she'would,” he said to him
self.
“If I were ouly dead,” she moaned
iuwardly, “if I were only dead.”
. And-then, they took their walk and
ch'afteci, and lie escorted her to her cot
tage door, bowed to the old- aunt sit
ting at the window, shook hands and
hastened away.
Paul Redlaw had gone cut of Maud
Berman’s life. Well for her it would
have been had ho been gone from her
heart also, but she had loved him so
much, trusted him so well, the blow was
more- than she cOuld bear. Next day
she was very ill, and for a long time she
lingered at death's door. The blinds of
the little house were closed. The old
woman, went abogt ou tip-toe, with
tears in her eyes. The doctor’s car

once more. A strange thrill swept
through her frame for, a m^E/rat—she
remembered her old reeling for him;
and then followed an eir ‘'"tion for tri
umph. He was here. Somehow she
knew he was a bachelor still, and she
was now a rich and acknowledged belle.
She understood her power and meant to
exert it. This man should be at her
feet, and she would hnmble him as he
had humbled her; so she gave him her
hand, and looked sweetly up into his
face.
“It is an age since we met,” she said.
“Do yon remember the garden, and
the river bank,and all the pretty places;
and how did you know me after all this
time?”
One expects a bsautiful bud to be

He took her down to supper that
night and saw heirto her carriage, and
he called as slxe had asked him to do in
a day or two.

adored her. And the fact that she was
rich and a belle inflamed his pride and
helped his love along. He flung him
self into the pursuit of her heart with
ardor, and at last gatheredhope enough
from htr glauces to speak to her. He
offered her his heart and hand;aud she,
whom a glance or word once thrilled
so, accepted them as she might a bo-
quet of flowers.
It troubled him a little that the blush
es and sweetness of the old time, did
not return ; but perhaps the society man
ner he admired so much forkade that.
At last she was his, and when she was
his wife she would no longer refuse
those kisses which -be found so difficult
to beg from her now.

This is- what he reads as the eyes of She
great throng turn upon him: .
Poor fool, do you forget that there
is n,o demon like a woman scorned?
When you jilted me long ago you turn

made me; burn for revenge. I know
yon love me now, and I know you are a
proud man. I am sure yon will suffer
very much, for I shall not meet you at
the ohurch or ever again, I hope. I
leave to-day. for the.Continent.”
Maud had written this sitting in her
room, in the bride’s dress she had al
lowed her maid to dress her in, that
there might be no suspicion of her [plot,
and she had called her footman and
sent him to the church with this note
in its white envelope. -And now revenge
was satisfied; she was triumphant; she
had avenged the wrong done to that
other half, who loved bim so.

door. She rnshed down stairs and
hurried into it.
“Drive foryour life,” she said to the
coachman. “Overtake Thomas; he has
a note that I must ha,ve hack.”
The coachman obeyed. He drove
her as a bride was rnrver driven yet.
But the footman’s feet had crossed the
threshold of the church ere they had
neared it.
She stepped out unattended.- She had.
forgotten those who were to be with
her; she thought only of him—of her

entrance. It had massed itself.in the

The Kind of a Fellow He Was.
A very high-toned-looking yonng
man, in exqifisite mustache, loud plaid
clothes, red necktie, luw-crowued hat,
straw-colored ki'la, and knitting-needle
cane, walked into a tobacco shop, and
throwing down a half-duliar on the
counter, said: “Well, this is the wo v st

anything in it satisfactory, and I am
utterly unable to see how a person of

Mr. Shopkeeper, can you sell a fellow a

“Yes, sir,” said the cigar man, meek-

“Well then, fly aronud lively and do
it. Don’t you see that half-dollar?”
‘•Yes, sir. What kind of a cigar do
you wish, sir?”
“What kind?”
“Yes. sir.”
“Why, look at me, sir, a moment and
see for yourself what kind of a cigar
would suit me,” and he drew him-'wlf
np grandly and gazed down 04 re

The shop-keeper looked and then
took in the half-dolhtr, got a cigar,
banded it to the man with 49 cents

cent, sir, hut I cau’t make the change
unless you take another cigar.”
The nice young man looked at the
shopkeeper and then at the cigar, and
then at himself, and without a single
word, walked out of the shop’—Steubin-

It is a great mistake to suppose that
the joys and sorrows of life are unequal
ly distributed. For instance, we will
take the rich man who, figuratively
speaking, is rolling in wealth, and to
the casual observer the very cream of
pleasure is continually spread before
him; but one who makes human nature
a study, and possesses the power to
look deeper tlifn the surface, can read
ily decide that with all his riches he is
not happy. He knows nothing of the
contrast between jflenty and poverty,
'of sweet rest after toil. If he desires
anything his wealth is the “Open se
same” which immediately flings wide
the door, aud lo, it is spread out before
him. Which of two meu would enjoy
his dinner, the one who only .had to
walk into the next room for it, or the
man who had to walk five miles before
being able to obtain 4? Assuredly the
latter.
The rich manjs pleasures pall upon
him. . If there is no -poisonous alloy
mixed with his cup of pleasure, the very
lack of the necessity of exertion lessens
to a great degree the enioymeut. But
alas! how many magnificent homes
have their skeletons in the closet, hid
ing: from the sight of the world, yet
still there to confront in secret.
Many a seemingly brimful cup
pleasure holds at the bottom the bitter
lees of misery. There are some who at
first do not seem to be obliged to drink
to the very bottom and taste the bitter

the top, "leaving*the bottom for me,

I never was guilty of downright envy
but once. A friend- of mine seemed to
have been chosen for fortune’s favorite;
wealth showered upon him; sickness in
his family was onknown; his wife—one
of the most lovely women I had ever
known—was devoted to him; their four
children were models of intelli
gence aud beauty—his home was perfec

Within one short month wealth had ta
ken wings—wife and children slept be
neath the snow._ He had often remark
ed to me: “My earthly happiness is
now complete—my enp of pleasure full
to overflowing.” Within odo month
he learned to say: “I have drunk the
cap of misery to the bottom; there can
be no morefor me,” '

A VILLAGE OF TERRORS.
[Detroit F.ee Dress,]
A Detroiter who had business in a
village-in Washtenaw county drove ont
there in a buggy, and of course went to
the inn for his dinner. The-Jandlord
made no inquiries until aftt^he mea-
was eaten aud paid for, and then he
found opportunity to inqnire.*
“Were you going ont to Squire
Brown’s place?”
“No-”
“ I didn’t know but you were a light
ning rod man, and I was going to say
that the sqnire was going to shoot the
next one on sight. We don’t go muek

you are going over to Judge Hardy’s to
sell him some fruit trees for tall set

“No.” «
“Well, that’s lucky. Only yesterday

to pay for being swindled on grape
vines. You are not a patent rights

-""No.”
“Well, that’s a narrow escape for
you. We’ve been swindled here on

“Oh, no.”
“Well, you haven’t lost anything.

a lecture. The last man who struck us
lectured on ‘Our Currency,’ ont didn’t
tike in enough of it to pay me for his
supper. You are not a book canvas

“No.”
“That’s another escape. We’ve been
laid ont here so often that if an agent
should offer to sell a twenty dollar Bi
ble for fifty cents we’d suspect a trick
to beat us. Strikes me now that you
are a lawyer?”
‘•No.”

A" PHOSPHORESCENT CAT.

West End recently. Mr. Monkey’s boy
took the family cat and rubbed. phoS-,
phorns all over him. It was abbot

right away. The cat got into a

the attention of a bulldog, and.ho ei
along and danced about anct^ bark*~-
and got terribly excited, It was a case
of “dog in the fight, cat in thn shafl ;
der, deg full of fight, cat growing mad
der.” Pretty soon, the dog upset the
barrel and vent in after the cat.,
But it was a surprise party for him. .
The phosphorus glowed in the.dark- ,

do congregate, and .retired to chum
ronnd with 'em. But it was qo go.
They fled from him as if he were a
bootjack. He didn’t understand it j
and gave chase, and as there were .
about forty cats on those roofs, and -
they were all scared and fled from him, -
howling dismally, the noise was some- *
thing fearful, so that folks in the vicini
ty who heard it were scared pnd had
cold sweats,
The cats continued to tear about and
yell so that it couldn’t be endured, , Mr,
Monkey and others got np and went
upon the roof with clubs. And at first ■-
the sight of a fiery cat frightened
them, and one lady who saw it Bcream- *
ed and fell through a skylight an$ ’
nearly killed a man who was sleeping -
beneath it] and made him think MotL
Shipton was right. Finally, Mr. Monk
ey and liis friends made a desperate
charge on the fiery oat, and the poor
cat tool*a flving leap to the street. He
lit on a'policeman, saving his life, bat
nearly scaring the officer out of his, as
he thought he was struck by lightning:.
The cat jumped to the gronnd, and an «
astronomer came along and took him
for an aerolite and tried to pick hi m
up, . To his amazement the aerolite
ran. Then he was scared, too. Final
ly the cat got into a haymow and some
body thought the barn was on fire, and-.
they called out the engines and got
seven streams turned ou to him. 1 He
fought well, but they fixed him. They
told the stable-man he was a cross-eyed
foci to mistake a cat’s eyes for a fire,
and so they left him. And all the West
End is talking of the mysteriaua fiery
cat, and only one young Monkey un
derstands the mystery.

Doubtless the remembrance of her '
friend will never be effaced, since
this is the second time she has greet- •-
