NELLIE’S HERO. “ It was talked nbout when you wore in your cradles, ’dear, and tlien there was a jesting argument that when you two grew up you should be married. And - surely you might do worse than marry Mr. Al'en T revor.” Nurse Gleason, who Was’just Hke a mother to motherless Nellie Hunt’ev, finished pouring the je’lv she was mak¬ ing white into a gorgeous mold, untied her spectacles, cap-strings,, and taking off her rubbed them energetically. "And now-, Miss Nellie, do get down from that table—there’s a dear child— and go dress for the company. Your father wi 1 be waiting and right angry he'll be, too. Come, dearie.” “ No, I won’t!” The diminutive figure, perched upon the kitchen table, swung its little s ip pered feet back and forth, and pushing a cloud of yellow hair from a rosy face, looked up into the honest countenance of the old woman with a pair of mis¬ chievous eyes. “No, nurse—that’s a darling—don’t make me go. I’ve been shut up in that horrid hoarding-school for two ye ars — nowihat I’m home for good, don’t make a martyr of me, I can’t hear it—indeed I can’t.

She paused in front of a mold of jelly —clear and transparent-and, arming herself with a spoon, confiscated a gener¬ ous portion. “ Queen in the kitchen, eating bread and honey!” she sang, gayly. fcihe turned suddenly as she spoke, and with a dexirous movement flirted the white cap from the decorous old woman’s head, and perched it lightly upon her own. Then seizing the spectacles, she placed them on her own straight and rather diminutive nose, and then, cFaf to Nurse Gleason’s remonstrances, she folded her arms sedately upon her bosom, and walked sedately toward the door, just as it opened from , without, and a tail form stood upon the threshold —Mr. Allen Trevor! Like “ I lug Paul your pardon,” he began hastily. “ Fry, ‘I Rope I don t in¬ trude?’” “No,” responded Nellie, saucily, and 8 1 trifle coolly, “ not any more than he A flush shot across the clear, dark cheeks of the intruder. He replaced the hat which he had doffed, and with a low bow, disappeared. “Miss Nellie Huntley, I’ve a mind to be downright angryiwith you!” ex rlaitned Nurse Gleason, as the door closed. “ The very nicest young man in the country, and the one your papa wishes you to be especially gracious to —”, “That’s just it, nur.-ie; I don’t like nice young men.

A few davs afterward a party set out from passing Huntley the day Race amohg forjtlte purpose of some old ruins, which were considered picturesque and quite the thing for excursionists “to do.” 'lhey were going on horseback, and a merry time was anticipated. found lhey reached the ancient ruins, them ‘ all that fancy painted them,” strolled around the garden con ncc ted with (he old buildings, played croquet and flirted, and final y sat down dinner, about as contented party aas one would wish to see. had During endeavored the whole day Nellie’s father couple to bring the young together, lady immediately an iu|c»rion*which divined the young understood, and and straightway Mr. Hunt ley had his hands full. " When a woman will, she will. you may depend on it.” And every unap¬ preciated and apparentljfinnocenteffort on the part of Air. Huntley duly made the demure maiden shun Mr. Trevor the more. As I was saying, the party were sit¬ ting laden at dinner, an improvised table with good things, plenty of ice and long-necked bottles being predftini nant. In the midst of merry laugWter and gay badinage, a low rumbling "noise fell upon their ears, fo lowed by a loud crash. All sprang to their feet in an instant, the ladies pale and trembling, the men somewhat startled. “ What is it?” Nellie’s face was palid as she asked the question. Without a word Al cn Trevor sprang upon his horse and rode away lowed in the direction of the sound, fol¬ In by a number of the gentlemen. a short time a horseman was seen returning, them. galloping like mad toward It was Mr. buntley. He threw himself from his panting horse, and hurried forward, pale and agitated. “It is in the coal mine over there!” he cried hurriedly. “ There has been an explosion; a portion of the shaft has fallen in, and nobody knows how many are buried alive there.” A scene of excitement followed the dreadful announcement. Some of the ladies fainted—all were terrified, but Nellie Huntley stood quiet, and out finished, wardly calm. laid When her father had she one small hand on hii arm. “ Get my horse, please, papa,” sh« said. “ I want to go there. I may b« of some assistance.” “Are you crazy, child? You must not think of such a thing.” “ Yes', I know all that, papa, I’m not going to think about it—I’m goingrighl at. once. Miss Rcnshawe and some ol the ladies will accompany me, l am sure ” Who would have believed it of those gay ladies of fashion and frivolity? Not one forsook our little maiden in her humane errand. '1 he horses were hastily saddled—the servant who had accompanied them fol¬ lowed with ice and wine, in case some un¬ fortunate should he rescued, and they set off at once. rible Arriving at the spot they found a ter¬ scene of excitement. A crowd had collected around the shaft. There were women crying their and wringing their hands; women heaven for on knees, beseeching mercy rn the dear ones shut out from their eyes by that awful hank of earth. There w'ere men standing sul¬ len and gloomy, with arms folded on their breasts, and in their faces grim despair, with while and the sobs, very air seemed heavy groans, and ejaculations. As our party approached, a lull fe 1 : the tempest of grief—something going tall on—a group had gathered around a form, and were begging and ex¬ postulating. lie’s It was Allen Trevor. Nel¬ heart stood still as she heard his words, in a firm clear tone. “ Do not try to dissuade me. I am convinced that there is hope, and if you assist me I may save some life. There is an opening sufficiently large for one man to descend with a rope.” Before Nellie could approach him, he liad hastened to the pit, the necessary preparation peared from was made, and he had disap¬ earth.

It seemed hours—ages—that she knelt there mutely imploring heaven’s mercy. At last a wild shout pealed upon the air, the rope was pulled from below, as though a weight were attached to it. Slowly they drew it up, and so one man was saved. In a few words he explained all disabled, the case. The miners were and must certainly have perished, blit for the superhuman efforts of Al'en Trevor, who, bearing each man in his strong arms to where the rope was waiting, bodies, proposed to fasten it to their and so they would be rescued I can not tell you in detail of that heroic deed. One after another of the miners was brought to the surface, some All bruised and rece’ved bleeding, and some dying kindly were and tenderly by our party, and ministered to. At last there came a moment—if Nel¬ lie should live to see the next centennial she will never forget that moment—when the last man was safely landed, and the rope came up alone. At that instant a Nellie low, rumblingsound bowed head. was plainly audible ; her “ Oh, my God, what sudden shall I do? ’ she Availed, then, with desperation, she sprang forward. “ Lower the rope once more!” she cried. In herhea(t she had determined “If he does not come up this time, I shall go down there my¬ self. At least we can die together.” With deferential glances at the young while girl, the men obeyed her mandate, others stood near, awed and silent. in Sinking awful upon her for knees, Nellie waited suspense that which was to come. The rope descended; it dangled loosely for a time, then ioud there came a feeble pull. With cheers of en¬ couragement, the men aboove drew it slowly upward.
