THE CELLIN I VASE.
BY M. E. 'TORRENCE.
Mrs. Branscombe had a passion for
bric-a-brac. Not the ordinary, mod-
ern kind, such as any uncultivated
woman' might have possessed herself
of by 'the simple process of paying for
it, but interesting things that were
valuable for their rarity and their his-
tory and the celebrity of their inven-
tors or discoverers.
She had a fan that was said to
have once belonged to the last Tycoon,
who had been imprisoned and who was
said to have shaded his face with this
identical fan as he listened to the de-
cree which subjected him to-durance
vile and abolished the tycoonate forever.
Mrs. Branscombe held to this theory
with unshnken tenacity, but her
nephew Will had been the victim of
doubt ever since. he had chanced upon
a factory in Philadelphia which turned
out an inexhaustible supply of genu-
inerJapanese fans so like royal relic
that when be replaced it for a week
with one of the late manufacture his
aunt did not seem to know the differ-
ence.
He had not called her attention to
the experiment, because he had never
forgotten one he had tried with the
famous roc’s egg, and he did not be-
lieve that she ever had either. The
rods egg had been the joy of her heart
and the pride of her soul, and she had
treasured it with anxious care for
more than five years, until one day
Will, in an unseemly fit of glee, had
accidentally knocked it out of the nest
in which it had been calmly reposing
for so long and it was shattered into
fragments. Thereupon it was revealed
that the famous egg had been cunning-
ly contrived with a preparation of
lime carefully glazed over the surface,
and no mysterious roc had ever had
anything to do with its production.
Will could never get over the im-
pression that it was scarcely fair that
he should be blamed for the latter fact.
He might have thought it only just
that his aunt‘should have been vexed
with him for his carelessness in knock-
ing down her treasure, but she had
never seemed half so indignant toward
him for that as because of the little
circumstance that the egg turned out
not to be genuine. How did she sup-
pose he could help that?
Will believed it was the roc’s egg
that ruined him. She had not seemed
to cherish any violent animosity to-
wards him previous to that. Since that
tragic event her treatment of him had
been really heartbreaking. Not that
he should have cared So much had it
been merely for his own sake and hers,
though he had always tried to be a
dutiful and afiectionate nephew. There
was Mabel. She was Mrs. Brans-
combe’s niece and lived with her. It
I
will be seen without difficulty, when
taken in connection with the fact that
W'ill was in love with Mabel, that the
situation was embarrassingly compli-
c.ated It really became necessary to
Will’s happiness that his relations with
Mrs Branscombe Should be placed on
a friendly footing.
There was but one way by which
\Vill could reinstate himself in the
good graces bf Mrs. Branscombe, and
even that seemed impossible from a
casual view. She had become pos-
sessed of a wild longing for a Cellini
vase. Perhaps there was no reason
why a Cellini medal or a Cellini seal
might not have answered the purpose
quite as well, but for some reason Mrs.
Branscombe’s ambition had taken the
form of a Cellini vase. There was a
tradition of total depravity lingering
about the memory of Cellini which, by
a snbtile law of the affinity of oppo-
sites, rendered all things connected
with him objects of irresistible attrac-
tion to a woman of the rigid propriety
of Mrs. Branscom be. Therefore, it be-
came necessary that she should come
into possession of a Cellini vase with
as little delay as might be.
“You shall have it, ” Will had said in
a buist of affection. .
That was just before he went to
Florence. Mrs. Branscombe felt in an
unusually friendly humor with him;
first for his devotion to her interests;
second for his absence. ,
He wrote often to Mrs. Branscombe:
not once to Mabel. Neither did he send
her any message. Mrs. Branscombe
had. always bad faith in the remedial
effect of absence in sentimental cases.
It seemed to increase the affection of
aunt and nephew. She was growing
almost fond of him now that he was
out of the way.
“Will’s a good fellow, when he’s in
another country, isn’t he?” she said
to Mabel. -
“011, yes,” assented the girl cheer-
fully.
“He is improving his mind. It is
a. good thing. I have always thought
it needed improvement. I think it
would hear more improvement than
any other mind I know. Itu'will never
be as good as Mr. Aston’s, but it could
be much better than it is.”
Mr. Aston was
and he had a great deal of money in
bonds and one of the finest houses in
town; two circumsrances which have
a tendency to brighten a man’s intel-
lect wonderfully‘ in public estimation.
“I think it will take a long time to
improve lVill‘s mind to any percepti-
ble degree,” said Mrs. Branscombe
carefully. “He will probably be abroad
five years, at least.”
“What about: the vase all the time?”
asked Mabel.
“It will taken long time to find i,t ”
said M1s. Branscombe with all the
moral superiority of one who is con-
scious of aspiring to different heights.
“If he should find it sooner he could
send it to me.” ’
“I have found it,” Will wrote soon
after this. “That is, I have found the
place where it ought to be. That it
is not there is only an indication of
the general derangement of the uni-
Verse. It was sold some time ago to
a member of the ex-royal family of
France. It happens, luckily for me,
however the poor devil of a royalist
may feel about it, that he has fallen
dead broke and all his collections are
to be put up for sale. So here’s for
Paris, and wish me good luck.”
The next time she heard from Will
he had gone to Rome, having been in-
formed that the precious object had
been bought for a Cardinal and taken
to the Imperial City. The Cardinal
had since died and there was a hope
that the coveted treasure might be
within grasp. Then-he wrote from
Madrid, where he had gone in conse-
quence of a rumor that the precious
vase had been sent to the Spanish Cap.
ital and placed in a museum}
After that she did not- hear from him
for a long time. She began to grow
uneasy, first for the Cellini vase and
then for her nephew. She had not
before known how fond she was of
him.
It was a year from the time of his
departure that IVill returned, walking
in one evening as quietly as if he had
been down town for an hour or so, and
had just come back.
Mrs. Brascombe sprung to meet him
in transports of delight. After she had
welcomed him and asked him how he
was and where he had been and why
he had not written her, she said:—
“I forgive you for not bringing the
vase. After all, Will, I think I‘d rath-
er have you. You know I was always
fond of you.”
Will almost whistied in an excess
of incredulity, but checked himself in
time.
“That reminds me, though,” he said,
taking a box out from some mysterious
hiding place, “that I did bring the
vase.”
He opened the box and took from it
a vase beautifully Wrought of silver,
ornamented on one side with a golden
Venus rising from a silver sea, and on
the other with a swarm of small Tri-
ton-s disporting themselves gaily on
the crests of silvery waves.
After a period of breathless contem-
plation, Mrs. Branscombe said,—
“Whnt can I do to pay you for such
a beauty?"
“You know there is only one thing
thing I want.”
Mrs. Branscombe looked at Mabel,
standing with eyes downcast, not look-
ing one at the classic piece of work-
manship.
“Child, 110w can you be so insensi-
ble? Do look at the charming thing.
If it’s Mabel you mean you can ask
her.”
“I have asked her.”
“You undutiful—”
Then her eye again fell upon the ex-
quisite carving of the master gold-
smith, and she relented.
“What did she say?”
“She said she would not do any-
thing without your consent, when you
have been so good to her.”
, “Good child,” said Mrs. Branscombe,
With one eye fixed apparently on the
girl and the other on the vase. “I
can’t refuse you anything now, Will.”
Will and Mabel withdrew to the next
room to discuss the subject, while Mrs.
Bransc0mbe remained in delightful
contemplation of the wonderful handi-
work of Cellini.
“Do you suppose it is genuine?” Ma-
bel asked the day after she and Will
had 1etu1ned from their bridal tour.
They were looking at Mrs Brans-
combe’ s t1'easur-,es chief among which
was the ma1velous vase.
“I know it is,” replied Will.
“How do you know?” »
He bent over her and whispered,—
“Bccause I made it myself.”

vated the fancy of a dark skinned 110-
ble111111 of the potentate’s p211'.ty
"‘his man moved to be Abdullah
Hussein lxhan. a cousin of the Shah,
and a' man of great wealth and influ-
ence in his own country. Stopping one
day at the stalls he was greatly at~
tractcd by Miss Blackman and bought
some trifles from her. He returned
the next day and boughtsome more.
When he appeared the third day
Miss Blackman perceived that 'it was
she, and not her wares, that attracted
the dark skinned stranger, and there-
upon the romance began. History‘ is
silent upon the details of the court-
ship, but it is known that he gave her
many costly gifts of exquisite East-
ern workmanship and eventually pro-
posed, was accepted and married her.
The ceremony was celebrated in a
Roman Catholic church in the begin-
ning of 1890.
Abdullah Hussein Khan was from
the beginning exceedingly fond of his
pretty English bride.‘ He' obtained
permission to remain in England when
the Shall went home, and hired a
handsome flat ht Hyde Park Mansion,
where he lived in supreme happiness
for nearly two years. He had told
his wife of his rank and his wealth,
but he had not yet mentioned the fact
that he already had three other wives
at home.
But in 1892 there came a command
from the Shah to return home. Ab-
dullah had by this time decided to
make England his home. He was a
man of cultivation and had found
European civilization much to his
taste.
But, under penalty of forfeiting his
estates, he was obliged to obey the
Shah’s orders, and when he reached
Teheran he had to tell his English
bride that she was only No. 4. One
can imagine the scene, the tears, the
protestations and all the rest. But
there was nothing for the young wife
to do but to submit, and she had the
satisfaction of being the preferred
wife, the first lady of the harem.
A few months ago Abdullah sudden-
ly died, much to his wife’s grief. His
eldest son, jealous because his father
had settled so much property upon
Beebee’s little som, seized the house
and sealed the doors.
the seals, and was arrested; and three
attempts were made to poison her,
the last so nearly successful that an
English doctor barely succeeded in sav-
ing her life. Through the interven-
tion of the British Legation she finally
obtained her property and sailed for
Lon-don, Where she recently arrived
with her boy. —
This little boy, Allah Nasrit, or the
“Gift of God,” has exchanged the bag-
gy satin trousers and loose silken coat,
set off with diamond buttons, of his
own country for the sailor costume of
a British tar. He is a handsome, clever
boy, and at the age of four already
displays the autocracy enjoyed by his
sex in Persia.
“He much needs the discipline of an
English school,” says his mother, “for
in Persia his word was law. Being co-
heir with an only brother, he was lord
of the village in which we lived, and
every child was his slave. When
brought in to amuse him, if their bows
were not sufficiently reverential and
conduct irreproachable, he issued in-
structions, and the small offenders
were promptly beaten, for Persian boys
are taught tyranny from the cradle.—

The mischievous little sparrow

MRS. M’KINLEY’S MAIL.
Many Silly Begging Letters which She
Never Seen.
The President’s wife duplicates in :1
small degree the experience of the
President with correspondents. Mrs.
McKinley receives every day a great
many letters, and one would think
from them that we were a nation of
beggars. One woman writes asking
Mrs. McKinley’s influence for the
writer’s husband, who is an applicant
for office. Another says that she needs
money, and she is sure the President’s
wife can spare her a few dollars. An-
other wants a photograph; another an
autograph; but by far the gifiatest
number of the beggars want pieces of
the dress Mrs. McKinley wore at the
inauguration ball. Mrs. McKinley is
not tearing up her dress for the ben-
efit of souvenir hunters. Nor is she dis‘
tributing her photographs or auto-
graphs among strangers. Mrs. Mc-
Kinley’s mail is handled like that of
the President. It goes first to the
White House clerks. They sort out the
personal letters from those which are
written by strangers, and the letters
from strangers they open and read.
Formal acknowledgements of these
letters are sent, written and signed by
the clerks. Mrs. McKinley seldom
sees any of them. Personal letters
Mrs. McKinley opens and reads. Her
private correspondence she carries on
as she has always done; but the White
House clerks attend to what may be
called her oflicial mail. —— Leslie’s

ACross Section of a Giant of the Califor-
nia Forests Sent to London.
The German ship Maria Hackfield
loaded in San Francisco for London,
took on board a piece of cargo con-
signed to William Waldorf Astor. It
Is a great slab of red wood, the cross
section of one of the big trees of Cal-
ifornia, 14 feet 4 inches in diameter.
Under present circumstances its ship-
ment is of more than ordinary inter-
est. It will decide a wager in favor
of Mr. Astor, and will demonstrate
that he did not tell a Whopper about
big treesmto the Britishers.
At a dinner party given soihe time
ago in London, during the story-telling
stage, M 1'. Astor spoke about great red-
woods. Some of his hearers were skep-
tical. This nettled Mr. Astor, and to
prove his assertion he ofiered a wager
that he could procure from one cross
section of a California big tree a table
large enough to accommodate all of
the forty guests assembled.
The wager was accepted and hence
the shipment. The piece of redwood
was cut from one of many giant trees
of Humboldt county forests. There
Is not the least blemish in the piece.
Heavy wire cables were bound around
Its outer rim and heavy planks pro-
tect it from being split.
It is about three feet thick, and
weighs about nineteen tons. It was
brought from the lumber woods in the
steamer National City, and the ship’s
hatchway just gave the big slab a
play .of one inch as it was being low-
ered into the hold. ’
Russian Hu‘ri'tlng‘ Dogs.
Harding Cox writes about laika, or
northern dog, to the London Field.
“The duties of the true laika,” he
says, “are of an extremely varied na-
ture. Among the Chinese about 1,000,-
000 are eaten every year, while in Bus-
sia the beast is trained for all sorts of
hunting-squirrels, bear, deer, snipe,
capercailzie, ermine, sable, and all the
other beasts are taken. with them,
even the wolves. It is estimated that
nearly 1,000,000 rubles worth of game
is taken every year with the aid of the ‘
Iaikas in Russia.
“In the Polar swamps the laikas are
used in drawing sledges as well as
hunting by the natives, while their
warm pelts are made to serve as coats
' and trousers after death.”
