ihein, Mrs. Dartburg felt tolerably
safe.
Mrs, Dartburg was a widow in
search of a rich husband. The
deceased major had baen inconsid
erate enough to die and leave her
without an income which was de
cidedly incompatible with hei
wants—and the oniy thing left for
no: was to marry some one who
cj.il.i supply the awkward defi
ciency.
»So Kate Onusby was taken
every yeai to some gay watering
place or brilliantly thronged
springs.
Kate was very unlike lioi pat
roness, as she sat there pale and
quiet in her blue dross. Her face
was oval, with limpid, hnzsl eyes;
features pure and straight, and
masses of raven black hair coiled
in heavy hr lidfi at the back of her
head. “Insipid looking!’’ Mrs.
Major Dartburg declared. Ka e
cared very little for the verdict,
as long as her “salary,” us 'fin.
Dartburg preferred io phrase it,
sufficed for !lie support of her two
li'tle orphan brother.
“No," s.ud Mrs. Dartburg, quer
ulously, “I don’t, look as well us
usual, and if Mr. Truxtou is to be
there, 1 want to look better. Mr.
Truxion has estates in ihe West-
Indies, owns a vaeht and drives a
four-in-hand. 1 tell you what,
Kate, you must put on a little
more rouge on the left cheek!
And, Kate—if you would only
leave off wearing those dowdy
black dresses! I really am begin
ning to be ashamed of you when
we go into the ball room. Do
get something new and stylish—
a black iron-grenadine, or e Chi
na crape.”
‘1 have others to provide for
besides myself,’ said Kate, quiet
ly. ■! cannot afford the new dee,
oral ion . of which you speak, Mrs.
Dartburg.'
‘But I’m not aware that lam
called upon to support all the beg
gars and orphans In creation!'
said the widow, sharply. ‘Here
—put this spray of purple pansies
iu your Hair—they are quite
mourning enough, I'm sine.’
M rs. Dartburg’s scarlet-lipped
smile was nnwontedly sweet that
that night, as she conrtesied low
to Mr, Truxton the rich widower.
•He’s handsome,’ thought the
husdand huntress. ‘Dear me, he
eau’t be over forty, and as straight
as an arrow!’
.dud she chat etl away in her
most fascinating manner as she
walked through the rooms, lean
ing oil Air. Trnxton’s aria.
‘A very agreeable w. man,’
thought lhe millionaire, ‘though
not as youug as she has been!
Knows everybody, and seems ex
ceedingly amiable. If I should
marry again—and, really, little
Tom needs a woman’s care when
he is at home for the holidays—
it certainly is worth thinking
about!’
These were 1 lie disjointed med
itations that passed through Mr.
Truxtion’s mind as he politely lis
tened to the widow’s chi'.-chut, anil
asked questions about tue various
occupants of ihe crowded room.
‘Who is I hat tall girl by the
window?' he asked, ‘with (lie black
eyes and the pretty hair?’
‘How strange that you should
uotice her! Why, she is my com
panion, Kate Ormsby, a sort of
poor relation, whom I keep v ilh
me out of pure charity.’
‘Very kind of you, I am sure,’
said Mr. Tiuxton, and he thought

lignin ihal with such an amiable j
personage as this bis motherless
lit'le bov would hardly fail to be
happy.
‘ft's a .trial at times,’ went on
Airs. Dartburg, who was determs
nieil to.umitraliza the admiration
Iwiwcfi NivuueV in Mr.
Ljyes, as he
l\iiAuideUtcAV
Win, -for her temper'*is excrod

Mr. Truxton felt himself more
tpiil more attractoil toward this
angelic creature, and he took the
lirst opportunity ask: ‘Whether
she .was fond of chil Ireut’
‘I adore them,’ said the widow,
clasping her hands.
‘I am glad of that,’ said Mr.
Truxton. T have a little boy of

any wonder that M%i. Dartburg
felt, as she took ofl’ her curls and
treth, at half past twelve, that she
had done a good evening’s work!
It happened that the next day
Mr. Truxton took it into his lieud
to go to SC Sebastian's Halt, a
select boarding-house 'for boys
under tweleve,’ to see his little
sou.
‘Have you been to Saratoga, pat
loudly demanded Tommy Trux
ton. ‘Jack and Billy Ornrsby
have got a sister at Saratoga.’
And .lack and Bidy, two apple
ctieeked urchins of nine and ten,
chimed artlessly in:
‘i)al you see our Kate, sir!’
‘Who is your Katef asked Air.
Truxtan, amused at their boy
ways.
‘Sties Miss Onnsby,’ said Bill,
‘and she’s companion to Old Cat
Dartburg.’
‘To—whom, did you say?’ asked
d>« widower, somewhat puzzled
‘Ho means Mrs. Major Dartburg,’
explainer! luoh, 'Uui lit? ons.'i-
Old Cal, bee use she’s so cross to
Kate. Kate wouldn’t stay there,
only she needs the money to keep
us ai school. But when me auti
Bill get big enough io work, we
won’t let the Old Cat torment her
any more.'
‘She boxes Kate’s ears some"
times,’ said Bill, resentfully, ‘and
once she pulled her hair. Kate
cried awfully. We went there
last holiday to spend a dav with
Kate, and the old Cat banged ns
ronud awful —she said she hated
hoys!’
‘That was ’cause Bill found her
false teeth in a glass cf water,'
said yack, ‘and 1 painted myself,
up out of her dressing box, with
rouge and lily white, to look like
an Indian on the war-pa'ch! And
she took her curls off when she
law dowr. f r a nap, and we play
ed they was a scalp! And Bill
asked her why her hair didn’t
didn’t grow on hei head like Kate’s
did!’
Mr. Truxton burst out laugh
ing.
‘You must have rendered your
self generally obnoxious!’ he ex
exclaimed.
He went hack to Saratoga du the
evening train —and the lirst per
son he saw. as be ascended the
stops of the Clarendon Hotel, was
Mrs. Major Darfburg, in a tresh
toilettto of wnite muslin and blue
ribbons. While Kate Onus by sat
just behind her, with a book in
her hand, ou which ner dark mel
aucholy eyes were lixed,
‘She is beautiful!’ thought the
millionaire, but it was not tbd wid
ow that he was looking at.
The days sped by—the widow
helived that every one was install
ing her more limly in Mr. Trux
ton ’s heart. While Kate—but
Kate had such a quiet way t/aai
nobody could really have told how
she was passing her time.
One evening Mrs. Major Dart
burg came up to her room, rather
‘put out’ because Mr. Truxton
had just driven his magnificent
four-in-hand away from the door
without asking her to occupy the
vacant seat beside him.
‘Kate!’ she said, sharply. ‘Kate
Ormsby, what are you doing?
l'oring over a book of poetry,
again, as I live; and that lace
shawl noi draped over the white
silk dress for Ihe evening!’
T think Ihe-e is still time
enough!’ said Kate, qnie.ly.
‘Don’t coutaadict tuel’ said the
widow in a pant-ion, ‘or 111 dis

r oi of greatest liurly-buis

poudout, is where the Brooklyn

of the railroad rests on truss work
across Chatham street, and is reach
ed by a s/airway; and on ils level
the end of the great bi idge has a
terminal for its cable oar transit
Underneath the latter structure
are tire entrances for pedestrians
and vehicles while beneath the

I‘OvdD ids .
Human nature is swayed by
mixed motives. Even an act that
appe rs disinterested may be
prompted by selfishness. A amus
ing illustration of this fact is given
in the fo’lowing anecdote:
An aged negro sat on one of the
old wharves of Salem, fishing. A
colored hoy was sitting beside him
eagerly t ufcliing Ihe bob as it
danced np and down. Suddenly
the bob went under. The boy in
his excitement leaned so far over
the edge of tho wnarl that he lost
,iiis balance and fell into the wa
ter.
T nsti ut.ly the oi l man dropped
his fishing pole and jumped into
the water for the boy, and after a
good deal of splushidg at.d spult
tering, with the help of several
men on the wharf, both were haul
ed out, gasping fur breath-
One ot the men who had helped
them expressed his admiration fer
the negro’s courage.
“That was a brave deed ofyours,
my man,’ said he.
“What’i dat?’ asked tho disci-*
pie ol Walton, as he wont to pick
up his rod.
“ Why, your jumping in to save
‘ba> boy.’
“Dal boy! / doan keer nnffin
sea him! But he got all de bait
in his pocket!’
An enthusiastic fisherman will,
we arc sure, appreciate the force
and grim humor of the reply.
AFISir STORY.
It- 11. Hoskins and W E. Young
two popular uptown yeung men,
went to Herrod’s creek fishing last
Wednesday. The fish bit slowly,
and (be young men were sit'ir.g
in the boat with /heir poles dang
ling iu the wate. They were talk
ing of big fist, and telling fish
s/ories, when presently Air. Hos
kins felt a gentle tug at his line.
The bite felt like a catfish bite, so
fie let his line Slay in the water.
The tug was tclt again, but this
time the Una cut throng the water
i.nd the pole beat a tattoo on the
sin face on account of the struggle
going on at each end of tho rod-
The neat wheeled around, careen
ed, and finally started oft' down
stream dinwn by something at tho
end of Mr, Hdt-kiim’ fishing line.
The young man clutched his pole
while Mr. Toungclutched himguid
failing to poll up the line which
was all run ou' from thr reel, the
yonng men were compelled to wait
upon the something, and either
it out or drown themselves iu the
attempt. AlLer the bout had l>eeu
diawu several hundred yards down
the creek, it slackened up and
stopped. Mr. Hoskins took this
i ppoi tuuity to di aw in his line.
The line was drawn in on the reel,
and at the end was found one of
the slraugesl and most, remarkable
speeieb of the genus piseis eve r
seen. It was about two feet long’
The forepart of the creature re
sembled au aligator, aud the head
was something between in alliga
tor’s and u lizzurd’s. The uiouih
was armed wiih two sets of small,
gliaip teeth The hind part of the
animal looked like a squirrel), and
was ornamented with a large, brush
y tail. The young men tibhed no
more, but ca-ie back home with
their strange catch. No one is
able tc tell what it is.—Louisville

the girl felt the monotony. One

“I hail sorneihihg pleasant to

Making an interview the excuse

“Yes. sir, was the reply.
“Not a pleasant thiug to be

“No I should say not. Still I
liuve managed to pul in the day
pretty well. I was compelled to
stop over, and. as I knew no ouo;
I mede up my mind to do the best
I could. I borrowed un old suit
of clothes from the porter and
went out, 1 found my way ovn
to where one of our citizens was

I will solid to my wife when it is
