inadvertently let fall.

•‘Your handkerchief!" she screamed.
“Mine, you mean -minx! thief! good-for

1 von have stolen right out <>t my bag!
Well, I never!’’
Hhr shook Phrebe vehemently. Phcebc
Ix gan to cry in mingled terror and re
sentment, and just then up drove the
farm wagon at a gallop.
“Hello, mother!” said Ezra Pilking
ton's cheerful voice. “I’m afraid I’ve
kept you waiting a bit, but the linchpin
came out of the wheel, and I had to slop
nt Tony Dcephill's to get it fixed. Now,
| then!”
He drove the stout pony close to the
raised platform which extended away
; from the station.
Mr-. Pilkington pushed Phrebe into
ths back scat, nnd followed her witli
i lightning haste.
“Not that way!” she cried, grasping
at the reins, a Ezra would have headed
for the highroad. “Drive straight to
1 Srpiiie I’ulteney's. This gal’s n thief!
I I'm going to have her arrested before she
is a dny older!"
“Eh!” said Ezra, staring from his
mother to Plimbe, and then back again.
“She’s stole my syiottcd pongee hand
kerchief my iinnilkercbief that I bought
a bargain on Grand Street this very morn
ing!” shrieked Mr-. Pilkington.
“It's it's »iy handkerchief,” faltered
poor Phrebe, feeling as if she were in a
terrible nightmare from which there was
no awakening.
“A likely story!” clamored the enraged
housewife. “I've always heard of the
wiles and tricks of these city minxes, but
I never realized it until now. Drive on,
Ezra drive quick! She shall lie lodged
in tiie county jail tins very night!”
“Are you sure you ain't mistaken,
mother’" said kind Ezra, compassionating
the look of pallid misery in the young
girl’s face.
“Mistaken, indeed!” sniffed the old
lady. “Drive on, Isay! Don’t lose any
more time, or Squire Pulteney will have
gone home for the night.”
She herself took possession of the reins
and slie spoke and chirruped to the
horses.
“But, mother pleaded Ezra.
Even ns ho spoke, however, poor
i I’honbc, driven wild by vague terror and
I an instinctive desire to escape, hail flung
herself from tiie wagon to the ground.
“Stop—for heaven's sake, mother,
stop!” shouted Ezra. “Don't you see
that her dn -.s is caught in the wheels?"
The little horse stopped. He always
stopped, on general principles, whenever
a suitable opportunity presented itself
and the very slightest “Wjioa!” would
invariably bring him to a dead standstill.
Ezra sprang from the wagon to disen
tangle tin helpless figure in the dust, and
Mrs. Pilkington scrambled after with a
vague idea that i'luebc might yet get up
and try to run away.
A" she jumped down her satchel fell
prone into the road, nnd bursting open
the overstrained hitch, disgorged its con
i traits on the dewy grass of the roadside,
first and foremost among which was—a
spotted pongee handkerchief.
“Good Land o’Moses!” piously inter
jected Mr<. Pilkington, “if there ain't
the dratted old pongee handkerchief,
arter nil!”
And she stared helplessly, first at its
■ prim and undisturbed folds, nnd then at
Phivbe's handkerchief--exactly the same
I in color, pattern and iubric.
“Sin- (ini't a thief, arter all!” said Mrs.
| Pilkington, her whole nature overflooded
iby the rising tide of remorse. “Poor
I child! and I'm afeard she’s hurt a try in’
| to run away from nothing at all.”
I Pho'be's ankle was slightly sprained,
that was all, nnd by this time she was
able to smile nnd answer kindly Mrs.
Pilkington's numerous questions and con
dolences.
“Can 1 ride home! Oh, of course 1
can!" said she, in reply to Ezra's interro
gations. “My ankle is only the least bit
lame.”
1 Old Fanner Pilkington was anxiously
I looking cut for them, when, considerably
later than he bad expected, the wagon
drove up ami Mr- I’ilkington made haste

“And ain’t it queer.” said she, “that

HIS UTILE GAME.
The Young Man Who Wasn’t
Particular A bout Wages.
An Agreement Which Proved A Dins
trona one Lt tho Employer.
Year Itefore hist a bright-looking
young man entered our counting-room is
r< sponsc to an advertisement for an as
sistant shipping clerk. He told the
usual tale of how he desired a position
more than wages for the time being, and
was willing to accept a nominal salary to
start in on. The old man was feeling in
particularly good humor that afternoon,
mid said pleasantly to the new comer:
“Well, sir, what would you consider
n nominal salary? What would you be
willing to accept in luginning?”
Tiie young man picked at the lining of
his hat with his fingers, and deferentially
replied:
“I want to show you, sir, that I mean
business, and I will work for one cent
for the' remainder of this month, pro
viding you think it would not be too
much to double my salary each month
thereafter.”
“That’s a novel proposition, surely,”
said the old man with a smile. “Do you
know what you are talking about, my
dear boy?”
“Well, sir, my principal aim is to
learn the business,” responded the young
fellow, anil I would almost be willing to
work for nothing, but I’d like to feel
nnd be able to say that I was earning
something, you know.”
“I’ll take you,” remarked the old
man. “One cent, two cents, four cents,
eight, sixteen,” he enumerated. “You
won't get much for awhile,” he added.
He took him up to the cashier. “Tliis
is John Smith,” he said. “He will go
to work as an assistant shipping clerk
to morrow. His salary will be one cent
this month. Double it every month
from now on.”
“In consideration of my working for
this small salary might I ask you to as
sure me a position for a definite period?”
inquired John Smith.
“We don’t usually do that,” replied
the governor; “but we can’t loose much
on you anyhow, I guess, and you look
like an honest fellow. How long do
yotl want employment?”
“Three years, sir, if agreeable to you.”
'Well, by Jove, the old man agreed,
and young Mr. Smith, on pretence of
wanting some evidence of stability of
his place, got the governor to write out
and sign a paper that he hod been guar
anteed a position in the house for three
years on the terms I have stated.
He worked along for six months with
out drawing a cent. Ho said he would
draw all his earnings Christmas. The
cashier one day thought he’d figure up
how much would be coming to the
young man. He grew so interested in
the project that he kept multiplying for
the three years. The result almost stag
gered him. This is the column of figures
he took to the old man. First month,
01; second, .02; third, .04; fourth, .08;
fifth, .10; sixth, .32; seventh, .C4;eighth,
$1.28; ninth, $2.50; tenth, $5.12;

$137.^88.313.44; thirty-sixth. $275,776.-
020.88; total salary for three years,
$552,551,253.65.
The governor nearly fainted when he
understood how, even if he was twice as
rich as Vanderbilt, he would be ruined
in paying John Smith's salary.
He concluded to discharge the modest
young man at once. Smith had figured
up how much would be due him, and re
minded the old man of his written
agreement. Bather than take chances
in courts and let everybody know how
he had been duped, the governor paid
Smith $5,000 and bade him good-bye.
I’ve heard he tried the same dodge in
Chicago after leaving here. Courier

Business C’omplicatinns.
A D.ikotian met an old friend while
on an Eastern trip.
“I hear that Bill Applejack who
went out to your country has failed in
business.”
“Yes.”
“Hard times?’•
“No.”
“Too much competition I’’
“No. I think not."
“Too little attention to business?”
“<>h. no, he worked hard."
“I don't see why he failed, then."

Ch iM'd by a Plant.
One of the most familiar plants in
Southern California and Arizona is the
tumble-weed. In the fall the gardens of
- >mc localities arc covered with them,
the plant being a low bush, about two
fret in height, and spreading out to sev
eral feet in width. So small and weak
arc the roots that when the plant goes to
s < 4 the breeze detaches it and the plant
goes rolling along like a ball, scattering
its seeds broadcast over the land miles
from where it originally grew. In Ari
z >na the tumble-weed sometimes attains
mainmotb proportions. I have seen them
five feet across, and so bulky that one
would easily upset a man when traveling
at a good rate of speed.
The following incident shows that a
man may be chased by a plant: “I
was travelling throug 1 Arizona on horse
back some years ago," saiil the narrator,
“and one day found myself in a desert
plain almost destitute of vegetation. Tiie
only thing in the way of a shrub were
numbers of dead tumble weeds, many of
gigantic size, and, curiously enough, they
were piled in great heaps as if some one
had hauled them together to burn them;
but as there was no object in doing this,
I concluded that the wind had done it,
and I found later that my supposition
was correct.
“I had gone about ton miles in this
tumble-weed count-y when I noticed a
storm coming up tr the west. There
was not the slightest shelter, so I kept
along, but finally saw a big pi e of tum
ble-weed and mide for it, thinking to
get under its lee, and I just about made
it when the rain commenced. The pile
was about ten feet high, and I thought I
had a good shelter and dismounted ; but
I had hardly reached the ground when a
gust of wind came that shook the heap
as if it had been made of paper, and a
big tumble-weed on top rolled off onto
the horse. Fortunately I had not left
him, and as he leapt back and reared I
hung on and in a second was on his
back, and not a bit too soon, as then the
gale struck us, and the way that heap
dissolved partnership was a caution to
sinners. My horse was wild with fear
and was off-leading, while behind came
thirty or forty mammoth tumble-weeds,
rolling along like gigantic cannon-balls.
I never saw such a sight in my life, and I
soon found that I was being chased by
hundreds of them. I looked back and
saw one jump twenty feet into the air as
it hit a rock, and every little prominence
sent them up where the wind would
catch them and bowl them like foot-balls.
I dodged several and at last got out of
the squall. I haven’t the slightest doubt
that if I had been struck by one of the
plants it would have knocked over horse
and all—in fact, I heard later of a man
that was caught in such a squall and ac
tually bowled over by one of them.”—• '

Origin of Billiards.
Billiards were invented, says a good
authority, by a pawnbroker. About the
middle of the sixteenth century there
was one William Kew, a pawnbroker,
who during wet weather was in the hab
it of taking down the three balls, and,
with the yard measure, pushing them,
billiard fashion, from the counter into
the stalls. In time the idea of a board
with sidepockets suggested itself. A
black letter MS. says: “.Master Wil
liam Kew did make one board whereby
a game is played with three balls, and
all the young men were greatly recreated
thereat, chiefly tiie young clergymen
from I‘awles, hence one of ye strokes
was named a Canon, having been by one
of ye same clergymen invented. This
game is now known by ye name of bill
yard, because William or ‘Bill’ Kew did
first playe with his yarde measure. The
stick is now called a kew or kue.” It is
easy to comprehend how “Bill yard” has
been modernized into Billiard, and the
transformation of “kew” or “kue” into
cue is equally apparent.
Fire (’nstoms in China.
The following extract from a letter
from a lady in Pekin, China, written
to a friend in Chicago, will interest a
good many people: “L ist week there was
quite a fire not very far from us, quite an
unusual thing I am told, for the build
ings arc of brick with tile roofs. Several
stores burned, and three men were
burned to death. A strange custom in
connection with any fire is, that the own
er of the building where the fire breaks
out is taken to the yarmin (place of pub
lic business, police court, etc.) and
severely beaten, I suppose the idea being
that he must have been careless to have
let it happen. In this case the man was
hurt at the fire and died from the beat
ing. Another strange thing is, that all
the stores near, for several days are
obliged to sell their goods cheap, out
of gratitude that they did not burn
down too. Chicarjo Tntcr-Oeean.

"Well, papa," said Emma. “Madame
Farine says that I need ten yards of trim
mingat four dollars a yard. lam ashamed
to ask. but I was obliged to do so.
"Very well, my dear,” replied the
merchant. “There is the money, but.
dear me! forty dollars for trimming!
Women arc getting worse than ever!”
So, breakfast over, and Mr. Rome off
for that mysterious region, known as “the
i itv," Emma started on her shopping ex
pedition.
On her way thoughts of her new dress
ran through' her mind. She intended
to wear it on an occasion which to her
seemed very important. Someone was
to be present whose opinion she valued
—sonic one she herself admired very
much. Did he admire her!
Thus absorlied, she suddenly found
herself some distance beyond her desti
nation. There was nothing for it but to
walk back, and the way lay through
streets filled with miserable houses. The
fashionable girl hurried along until,
all at once, she found a sort of barricade
across the street. The middle object of
this barricade was a sewing machine, to
which on one side clung a woman, on the
other a man. An attendant crowd of
residents contemplated this scene with
evident interest, and Emma Rome
became, perforce, one of their number.
“Forty dollars I've paid you on that
machine, and now you'll not give me
time. I only ask time. I'm an honest
woman. I’ll pay you. Man, do you
know it's all there is between us and star
vation? Let me have it. It's but $lO
I owe you.”
“You’ve owed that two months.” re
plied the man. “Come, let go, missus.
1 don't want to hurt you. I've got to
obey orders.”
But the w oman did not relinquish her
hold. Still clutching the machine, she
turned her agonized eyes upon the by
standers.
“Forty dollars,” she repeated, “and
the machine but SSO, nnd he’s taking it.
I never failed until Jim broke his leg.
and his work stopped, and his wage with
it, and I’d doctor’s bill, and al'.”
“No, that she didn’t,” cried a voice
from the crowd.
“And he'd better be off with his cart,”
cried a man who had stalked out of the
entry of the house near which the crowd
had gathered, rolling up his sleeves.
“Look here, good people,” explained
the man who held the machine. I don’t
want to do this. I obey orders, or lose
my place. She’d better go to the master,
and talk to him—not to me.”
“I’ve been,” said the woman. “He's
made of stone. I told him he’d starve us.
He will. Take it.” And she let go her
hold, and covered her eyes with her
hands.
But in the place of those rough, red
fingers, others, dainty and small, and
w-ell gloved, came down upon the cover
of the machine. Emma Rome had pressed
forward, and now spoke.
“Stop,” she said. “Will you let this
woman keep her machine if I pay you ten
dollars?”
“Them’s the master’s orders, miss,” re
plied the man, “and I’d be glad to do it,
too.”
Then while the crowd gathered close,
and the woman who had told her piteous
tale sobbed with joy, Emma drew the
sum named from her purse, received in
return a receipt, which she gave the poor
woman, and experienced for the first
time the delight which the performance
of an utterly unseltWi act brings with it.
Moreover, when the machine had been
borne up-stairs, Emma, who had ex
changed a few words with its owner,
followed her to her miserable room,
noted its poverty, heard all the bitter
tale.
“But I don’t mind anything now,
miss,” sobbed the narrator. Now the
machine is my own, I don’t mind how I
work. And the only great tug is the
landlord—four dollars a month for rent.”
“As much a month as a yard of that
trimming!” thought Emma, with a little
pang.
And before she turned from the door
she had emptied her purse, and had paid
three months’ rent in advance.
“ Your husband will be well and at
work by that time,” she said; and there
were no regrets for the lost fringe as she
took her way homeward. Nay, she was
not even stung to the soul when Madame
Farine remarked, with a glance that said
volumes. “The black lace from your
old grenadine dress I Certainly, since it
is to your taste.”
The dress, however, was not unbecom
ing, despite the refurbished lace, and
Emma wore it to the party. And. some
how, Arthur Maine found himself more
than ever before attracted by it, and as
she drove home that night, Emma felt
that the instinct which had said to her,
"he loves,” had been no false prophet.
She had learned two 'essons in a little
while. One, that the poor might be
clothed and fed from the trimmings of
the rich; the other, that extravagance in
dress never yet won any man's heart.—
