" I'osr me,“ said the good lady.

" And the next thing.“ stud Mr. Hall.
“ will be to furnish it."

" O. of course." assented Mrs. Ilyington

“ Because.“ added Mr. Hall. “ I don‘t

" Married. ch? 1-1 up sure I‘m very glad.

And thus expired the last remaining hope
of the poor lady that she and her Millicent
might be housekeepers for the rich cousin
whose golden wealth would cut such an
sureatc reflection over their own colorless
lives. .

” I hope so. too.“ said Hall. curtly. “ If
I didn‘t. you may be very sure that I would-
n‘t run the risk of any such proceeding at
my time of life.“ 7

“ Is she young I" asked Mrs. Byingtns

“ I am thirty 3"

“ Just exactly a full-blown ruse." nodded
Cousin Cheveley. with on admiring glance
at her.

“ I think that falling in love has made
you poetical. Cheveley.“ laughed Millicent.

“ I am in love.“ said Mr. Hull. “ There
is no sort of doubt about that."

“ I hops she is nice.”\sid Millicent a lit
llstimidly. “ Do tell us about her."

“ Oh. yes. she's nice," nodded the lover.

“ Ilut that's no description at all.“ urged
Millicent.

.. Well. she‘s neither tull nor short. dark

Millicent started nervously up, and glanc

“ And we haven‘t got the clean muslin

And there is the feather duster in plain

" Don't go to perturbing yourself." said
Mr. Hall. “ Let her take you as she finds
you. I dare say she‘ll be pleased. Sit
down. Milly. I want to show you some-
thing."

“ But it wouldn‘t take ten minutes just
to tack up the curtains." pleaded Millicent.

“ Ilang the curtains i“ said Hall. " Sit
down. Milly. I say."

He drew a chair close to his side as he
epoke.—nnd Millicent reluctantly obeyed,
still glancing at the pile of freshly lsuudried
muslin curtains that lay in a basket under
tho table. tihcveley llafl drew‘s little velvet

LUCKY BALDWIR’S LUCK.

 

An Old Miser Tells lsvv the ltlllllo-ulro
Ill-dc Ills “‘e-ltb.

 

“i “ Times had got it little dull and stocks
acre low. and so Baldwin. who was always
udymg up some wild scheme or other to
make money. concluded to go to China on
some racket. and as he happened to have
1.000 shares of Crown Point. which had cost
him 83 a share. he was mighty anxious to
realize on them. The price being off several
points he raised the wind suns other way.
ind. feeling that the time would come when
he could get even on his stock, he left it
with a friend of his to sell when the price
rose to 33 it share. and off he went to China.
Soon after his departure the Coiustock got
into bimunzu and prices began to fly up.
8 tldwm‘e friend—who. by the way. was s
rnrpentcr‘slso watched the market closely.
and when his :33 limit was reached he rush-
ed dawn to a broker and told him to sell
[.000 shares of Crown Point at $3.
‘Where‘e your stock ?' asked the broker
‘ Here it is.‘ suid the carpenter. The broker
examined it sud then said 2 ‘ Have you
power of attorney to sign Baldwin‘s name 7'
' Not apowcr.‘ replied the carpenter. ‘ \V\‘II.
then.‘ said the broker. ‘I can‘t sell this
stock. nor will nny one else.‘ You see.
Baldwin. in accordance with his t‘lliliflllfll’)

was a failure. as were all his iloliberntely
planned enterprises. and he arrived in San
Francisco strapped. but soon found lhlt in.
stead of having $3.000 waiting for him it
had swelled to an even million of dollars."

" No wonder they called him Lucky lisld-

“ Hold a moment. parduer.“ remarked
the old Californian. ” nobody thought or
giving him that name then for u little lucky
turn like that. Wait till I get a little fur

better reason for tht~ mums."

“ Is there more coming ? Great Scott !

big bamsnsa was struck in Consolidated \‘ir-
ginia and California. adjoining the llplllt
and that stuck doubled up in sympathy."

" 'lbth for Baldwin.“ cried the Chicagt
underfoot.

“Keep cool. pard; that was only ordi
nary luck.“ growled the old Californian.

" Thunder and Mars. another million and
you say only ordinsrv luck I"

“ 'l‘hst‘s what I said. Ophir kept right
on doubling up so fast that the gong wanted
to gut Baldwin‘s stock. iuid so they put up
another job on him. I You see. the Bank of

stock and so ltslnton scut for Keane and

ind Baldwin. knowing that the old asst-ss-
ment dodge would be played on him. shoved
his stock on the market. just exactly as tho
ioiispirutoni expected and wished he would.
until he hadn‘t s share left. obtaining the
highest prices. which were from $250 to
$300 per shore. No sooner had he unloaded
on the gong than the stock begun to tumble
on rapidly as it had risen. and it busted the
'Ilsnk of California ; but Baldwin had ovei
$0,000,000 to his credit. and the noun
‘ Lucky llsldwiu ‘ was duly corned and so-
crsdited to him.“

On i-uing'from the cage we find our-

rather tunnel! which seems to wind sway
endlessly into the utter blackne- beyond.
Along this gloomy highroad we follow as
best we may the dim light carried by our
guide. whichever and enon throws out our
long white shrouds and half seen faces in
fitful relief against the block walls around.
suggesting a train of ghosts led by death
himself through the shadowy corridors of
the world below. This grim idea is sudden.
ly borne out‘in a very unexpected way by
the startling spectacle that opens upon us as
we make a sharp turn to the left. What en-
chanted palace is this we have entered ? or
rather what strange underground cathedral
of the dead. with its altar and its Madonna.
its pillars and its niches. its efflgies of saints
carved in quant medireval fashion by bands
which moldeted into dust ages ago. while
their work still remains fresh and perfect
as over? “Wherever the light of our leader‘l
torch catches the dark pillars and shadowy
walls s thousand sparkle. of cold unearthly
brightnees answer its gleam. for the whole
structure is hewu out of solid rock cult. All
it once thus in another halt in the darli-
ness. and then a sudden blaze of light nu
fes-ls—slnighty dome rising far above our
heads. and vast. walls or rock shutting us in
on every eidb. grim and gigantic as those of
an Egyptian: pyramid. Here are no sculp-
tured saints. no fantastic decorations; all
is bare. rugged. colossal. In such a temple
the dwarflsh. misshapen savages who prowl-
ed here thousands of yesrs ago may have
poured out upon the rough-hewn altar of
'l‘riglaph the wood spirit of Pcroon. the
thunder god. the blood of the first strung-
sr who ventured among them. Let us ps-

upon s nuriiow bridge that seems to hang
poised in the empty air above s cold. black
gulf of futhumlcus depth. while its further

bed broken forth once more. Then a show-
er of rockets comes darting up through the
blackness like fiery serpents. their roar
and bias ocbomg and re-echoing along all
the countless passage as if it would never
end.

But the: terrific impressiveness of this
valley of the shadow of death is not at its
height even yet. Wandering on through
the everlasting night. we suddenly see the
dying glare of the torch reflected in s «lurk.

the grim Scandinavian legend. the souls of
cowards were doomed to sink deeper and

villugs out on the hill. and some from the
hotel on the mountain. and they all have
.lrought their sleds."

It seemed such It puzzle to me. that I rot
and went out to see what was going on.

When I reached the spacious balcony. l
was almost convinced that the whole valley
ind been hewitched.

The“. were gathered at least twenty chil-
.iran and half a dozen sleds. The boys
were dragging the sleds up the steep slope
of the hillside that rose from the road in
front of the house. while the girls followed
after as well as they could.

It wannot by any means an easy fest ts
“hub this slope.

Though at a casual glance it seemed as
soft and velvety as s well-kept lawn. it was
.20 the unwary ndelusion and it share. The
midsummer sun shines down upon the Adi
rondack mountains with its much ardor a:
3n the city streets. Though the nights tut
:ocl. frequently even cold. there are no
laws, and usually but little rain. So the
ihort thick grass that grows abundantly
upon the sides of the lesser mountains. or.
more properly speaking. the foothills. be.
comes warnewhst parched and smooth, and
as slippery as ice. The children, then, had
before them quite an amount of hard walk.
ing. but those children were like mountain-
goets. hardy. willing. and able to climb any-
thing.

I watched them with interest. Allsst the
top wr- rssched. 'lhen. the sleds were
turned upside down. and the runners weer
rubbed] vigorously with candles; this com
plated. the sleds were put in proper position
igsin. threechildren seated themselves upor
each. and a gentle push started than: (lows
:he slope.

Haw swiftly they came! The slope was
steep butsmootb; not a rock. stump, or
“can itsmface; therewas no danger.
and the slafi stepped on the sandy road.

For two long hours this colony of chit
dre‘s could—till the gran was worn almost
to the root. and thssupply of tallow (which
is indispensible for this midsummer coast
in.) wsseshai-tsd.

Ian—A Dangers-sly Gloss shot.

Captain Harry Van Wicklen. a pilot on
one of the Hamilton ferry boats. resides in
a nest cottage at Ozone Park. near Wood-
haven. Having to do night duty Mrs. Van
Wicklen and her daughter were alone in the
cottage. They were not apprehensive of
molestation. because they had become used
to being alone and the village is noted for
its good order. On a recent night. how-
)ver, the peace of the place was broken and
the people were alarmed. shortly before ten
o‘clock. by the discharge of firearms. Neigh-
born hurried to Mr. Van \ 'icklen‘s place
and met his daughter running across lots in
scorch of help. She said that a dreadful
tuuu was trying to get into the cottage. The
inf ornmtiou caused the relief squad to haste:
their steps and the premises were soon
reached. Mm. Van Wicklen was found per-
fectly cool. trusting in n shot~gun loaded
with powder and ball by her own hand.

It appears that at about ten o'clock Mrs
\‘un Wicklen closed the house end was pre-

 

 

paring to retire when a knock was heard at

the front door. The lady thought that per-
bllpfl her husband had come home by the
lute trsin and she started to open the door
win-n suddenly she bcthought her to ask :
" Who‘s there '5‘" A male voice replied 2 “ I
wont to come in.“ “ \ou can‘t come in.“
said Mrs. \‘en Wicklen. “ I‘ll call my hus-
bund.‘ She cnllt'tl to Hurry to come down
stairs and bring his Jun. " You 'cun‘t fool
lllt‘." said the mun outside. " your husband
is not tit home." This showed the man to
be familiar with the family nlfairs. The
mun said he would come in if he had to
break in and proceeded to do so by attacking
s window. Mrs. Von Wicklen was equal to
the emergency. She told the men to go
away or she would shoot him. He laughed
at the threat and kept trying to force the
window up. Miss Van Wicklen got her
father‘s breech-loading gun from a closet
and Mrs. Van Wicklen found that it was
not loaded. There were some charged shells
at the kitchen and putting one of them in
the gun she dischnrgcd it without in the
least intimidating the intruder. A little sur-
prised at the follow‘s persistence. Mrs. Vs:
Wickluu loaded both barn-ls of the gun with
b ill cartridges and ogsln told the man to gr
away or she would shoot him.

Mrs. \‘uu \\'ickleu maintained a steady
reserve until the man got the window started
