S! . had not the training necessary to s cure a teachei's position; the drudge: of typewriting was uncongenial, ai to go into a shop as a saleswoms was only to be thought of as a last'r sort. Letty had seen in the Sunday p pers long'accounts of very wonderf experiences to which were affixed tl names, real or assumed, of womc writers. She thoaght she might b come, in time, a writer of such signt articles and obtain high pay for then Could she not write as woll as tho? women? From the "stories" in tl papers things seemed to .come the way easily enough. Like many a reader of stich "stones Letty did not stop to reflect on th labor and time expended on the*m, n( did she know anything of the trial and disheartening rebuffs which hav been encountered in "working the: Up." She was fortunate enough to ot tain, through the influence ot n friou of h?r father, a position on the staff c Writers for the Sundcy edition of th Daily Investigator, one of the promi ?ent Xew YOfck papers. " The quarters of these writers seemd to Letty s nailer and more "clutterei up" than she had expected. Then were three or four small rooms wit] roll-top desks in them-aud one or twi chairs. The editor of the "Woman' Page" had her office in one of thes roonis. She was a woman of abou 40, with grayish hair and rather sb.ar] features. Her glance was keen, he manner of speaking brief and to thi point. . Letty, when called beforeNthis edi toi- to receive her first ."assignment' or subject to be written up, obeye< the summons \. ith eagerness and som? trembling. What would she be.seu MjVllFMI Aifei^ii/ifiill?iTfl ~r '-rf '"I -M Y '? one. on which sha coull be brillmn with easel "Miss Upton," said the "editor o the Woman \> Page, holding a smal slip*of printed matter in her hand, "here is a report that Mrs. Harmon's daughter is going to marry a distin guish?d foreigner. Mrs. Harmon anc the girl have been traveling in Europe for a year and are just back. . The girl may havo caught an - EngisL duke or something, as these Harmons are so rich. See her, find ont who the man is, and write up all you oan get about it. If it's true, the woman will be glad enough to talk about it." "Where does Mrs. Harmon live?" asked Miss Upton, taking the "cut ting." "Oh, I don't know," replied the editorial lady - with a touch of impa tienc3, as she snipped out another paragraph marked with a blue cross from the paper before her, giving four quick clicks with the office shears. " You'll have to get that from the di rectory or the '3ocial Register. ' Miss Jameson!" she called, sharply, taking the freshly cut slip in her hand and looking past Letty with an air of to tally dismissing her from her mind. Letty withdrew, got the directory and looked for "Harmon" There were so many Harmons that she con cluded she had better try the "Social Register." The "Mrs. Harmon" whose daughter was to make a brilliant marriage would be there, and several of the directory Harmons would not. She took down the names of half a dozen Harmons, with the addresses. She very much wished to ask the so ciety editor-which'"Mrs. Harmon of this oityi"---that was all the slip said was the Mrs. -'Harmon of her list; but she felt it would be more creditable to find that out herself. So she arranged her list in the order of their resi dences as she would have to take them on her way up-town and sallied brisk ly'forth. . ' . Miss .. Upton had determined that she was not going to be-a "lady jour nalist" or "a lady who writesfor the papers," but a "newspaper, woman." This title seemed to her honest and direct and dignified. A "newspaper woman" would get sooner to writing those long, illustrated, signed "stories" in the Sunday paper than either of the other kinds of writers would! She called at the first place on the list and sent in her card by a maid who returned with the request that, Miss Upton would state her -purpose there, as Mrs. Harmon was very busy. letty did not wiah tb announce herself to a servant ns a "newspaper woman"-she could convey that ib formatiou with better results if she did it personally. Some people had a prejudice against "reporters."- .-Now she said simply, "I am from the-Daily Investigator." . ~". "Mrs. Harmon never sees newspaper people," said the maid. "If'you'd said that at the start I could have told you, for those are my general or ders." "I should like yon to tell ypnr. mis tress that this- is about something which she is interested in and that I will not detain her long," said Letty, with aggravated dignity. The maid re'uetantly obeyed, or at lea>i disappeaied for a Short time. Th > she came back and said, "Mrs. Harmon begs to be excused." Letty was a little crestfallen. She did not believe the maid had been near her mistress again. - How very mean in a rich woman with plenty of leisure to refuge even a reception to a girl seeking fo earn a living! 's voi??. ? mother spoke to h?rohild ono day In an angry voice, that made him start As- if an arrow had sped that way" And pierced his loving and arider heart And when he had grown to man's estate, ,i And was teqdpted and tried as ?ll men are, He fell; for that mother's angry, words Had left on his .heart a lasting sc Ax: ^"ASSIGNMENT " ( . A'BECKET. - K ''Has Mrs, Harmon been abroad this year?" Letty asked th? maid. In case this wfts the Mrsi Harmon there would be no object in calling on the Other unimportant bearers of that naiii?; "No,' said the naid, as she dosed the door in Miss lipton's face: "Then she isn't the one I want,*' : said the newspaper woman to herself j ''and i h?v? no more desire to see her than She has to see me;" Trying to keep np her courageby this reflection; Letty made her way to the next house on her list, and there -affecting a slightly haughty air as being likely to impress the . sei'vant and thereby, poss bly, the mistress she said, "I should like to see Mrs. Harmon for a moment." The servant looked at her with 3ome surprise. "Mrs. Harmon is dead this two years," he said, deliberately., h "?h, really-!" replie! Letty," her haughty air suffering a sudden col lapse. "Perhaps I have mad? n mis take. This-isn't-Mrs.Nugent Har mon's?" This was the next Mrs.Har mon on her list. Letty wa? proud of her finesse. "No. This is Mr. Thomas Har mon's; but Mrs. Nugent Harmon is dead, too," replied the man,regarding heT with increased curiosity. ? Letty blushed furiously and felt a wild desire to laugh. This would cer tainly not have enhanced her standiug in the servant's eyes. Then, since this man seemed so acquainted with the Harmons, she wai tempted to ask him if he knew which was the Mrs. Harmon whose daughter was to marry a foreign nobleman. But Letty could not quite bring her self to gleaning the news she needed by friendly, coniideutial talk with men servants. So she only said, nervous ly, "There .must be a mistake some where. Thank you," and hurried down the steps,feeling as if the man's inquis tive eyes were burning into her back. All this wasn't very nice. In those, "stories" of the Sunday papers there had been no preliminary failures to hud the person. .The reporter had al ways called at Mr. Whoever's and had "been cordially motioned to a chair," and then "Mr. or Mrs. Whoever had proceeded- to-tell-bim all he wanted td' know in the most friendly,considerate However, to be discouraged would nev.eV do, 'so Letty, after a little sigh as she 'saw two young girls of her own age roll by in aa e'egaai Victoria, went to the next Mrs. Harmon, wondering whether she were dead, too. But'she would have no mistakes here. She wrote on her card, "Will Mrs. Harmon please see Miss Upton* of the Daily Investigator for a mo ment in regard to her daughter's en gagement?" Ah! Here was the reward of indus try. . The servant said, "Mrs. Harmon will be down in a moment, miss. Will you please sit down aud wait?" Ina few moments Mrs. Harmon came in*. She looked like a wealthy society woman, though younger than Mks Upton had expected to rind her; She had a pair of keen, black eyes,her face was a sharply poiutol one, and her lips were rather thin. She bowed to the reporter pleasant ly euough.but did not offer her hand. What-could she do for Miss Upton? She knew the Daily Investigator very well. There was a- slight accent on the "very." "There is a report, Mrs. Harmon, that your daughter is to marry a for eigner of title, whom you met during your travels in Europe this past year," said Miss .Upton, with her most ingra tiating manner. "Won't you tell me some of the particulars?" ? "Do you want to publish what I say in The investigator?" asked Mrs. Har-, mon, quickly. . 1 "Why, of course,I want to print all that you are willing should appear .about the matter. The public, nat urally, has a great interest in the sub ject and wants to know about Miss Harmon's fiance?" * Mrs. Harmon's eyes twinkled, and she drew in her lips a little strongly. She seemed amused: "She's tickled to death over it and> will tell everything there-is^' thought Miss Upton, with an approving reflec tion on her own diplomatic tact. . . "Well,'you must ?sk me what you want to know," said the lady, good naturedly. "Is the engagement announced yet?" asked Miss Upton, affably. . ? "No," replied Mrs. Harmon, with an air of being very pronounced. can truly say that it is not announced yet. I can'tr.imngine how the report that my daughter is- engaged could have got ont". What wonderful people you newspaper folk are!" "I understand that the engagement iii not announced," Letty-went on, with a smile "that seemed to say to Mrs. Harmon that she could appreci ate her way of not telling a thing. "Can't you te 1 me who the.ypiing man is? I suppose I ought to say the young lord?"'-. "Oh, how did you knov it was a .lord?" Mrs. . Harmon cried, smiling .with artless enjoyment*?vetf-the news paper woman's acuteness. "I didn't say it was-a lord. The next thing y.ou'lj be -asking.. me is Where tne duke's country-place is!" rv % . -Mrs. Harmon-paused a mo?nent as ~ if thinking deeply. Th?n she' skid, absently,- ' 'Do you know there were ' any Americans at Grantham Court last autumn?" , "I'm sure I don't know," Letty re plied, cheerfully. The way Mrs. Har mon was "lettiug things* out" was in teresting. Miss Upton was getting "points" for her. s.toj^. i.yEngagemeut not announced yet-duke-Grantham Conrt-splendid! ^WlVenTdo yoiisuppose the wedding will take placo?" she asked, with piquant directness. i\ YA'--*- 3 -r \M%&OtJ . Mrs; Har'rri?? burst otit laughing. "Way, the engagement is not an nounced jet, and you waut the date of the wedding! I can assure you it will not be'before next fall: That is sure:" Mrs. Harmon' seemed to find pleasure in coming .out strongly on a point when, she could, even if it were only d negative one; "Did yod get Miss Harmon any ?things while you were abroad?" con tinued Misa Upton." Mrs. Havnion's. diamond brooch must have cost a pretty penny. $"Oh, a few little things, yes. Things I knew she had to have." . Mrs. Harmon had recourse to her handkerchief for a moment. "How old is Miss Harmon?" asked Letty, with interest. The mother was flo yoddg and girlish I She took tho niatt?rso lightly, and it seemed so amusing to her! : "Don't I look yonug enough to be spared having to tell my daughter'? age?" that interesting lady laughed back; "but Miss Harmon is not 17 yet. Don't press me too closely." "Will it be fl church wedding? Aud will Worth make the gown?" : Miss Upton felt that l?rs. Harmon w?3 willing euough to have the facts Come out- but did not wish to have told them: "You are a perfect inquisitor," laughed the lady; "I am going to send you away?' she added, rising. "You have led me on so and made mo +alk when I told you .that the engage ment wasn't even announced yet. Re member that I haven't told yon a thing? I can't iufacine how the news papers find out everything. Will it be in tomorrow's paper?. I mean are you going to write anything abeu li it? I shan't see another - person- from a paper. It's too dangerous." She was evidently putting an end to the interview to keep herself from telling a quantity of things more which the wily Miss Uptou would worm- out of her. The young "newspaper woman" was- pretty well content. She had learned enough in this indirect way to embellish her information into a most interesting story. j This .she did and thrilled with pride when she saw it in the next day's In vestigator with a head-line of great prominence. The Search-Light, The Investigator's bitterest rival, hadn't a word about the thing. The editor of thp Woman's Page had asked her why she did not get a photograph of Miss Harmon. Letty had not thought of it. Well, she could try and get that later, and they could priut it on Sunday. Miss Upton was sure she could get it from Mrs. Harmon. !Iu her story Letty said that "the young fiaucee of the proud English, title is a graceful, swe?t girl verging on her 17th birthday. During tho' past year abroad she had /received the ?nishing touches to her educatiou,a.nd the wedding will probably occur, next Laut nain. The family are extremely On the day following that on which Letty had glowed over her own peri ods in all the dignity of type^he came to the office "bright and early, thirsting for more Mrs. Harmons. Newspaper work was fascinating! Her enthusiasm was dampened by a little note on her desk. She read in consternation that her resignation was requested! She hurried-to tho editor of the Woman's Page and showed the note. "Oh,what doe's this m?an?" she al most wailed. "I don't understand." "It means that you mado the paper perfectly ridiculous and let a woman get even" with The Investigator for a past story about ber," said that lady with untempered severity. "There," and she-handed Letty a slip, "is what The Searchlight has this morning!" "I don't suppose you have read the daily papers, " she added,sarcastically. "The Mrs.Harmon that tho paragraph I gave yon was about lives in'Orange, as you should have found out. That is the picture of the 'Miss Harmon' about whqm ypu. wrote your story. " .

Spain's pitiful appeal to be permit ted to remove the bones of Christo pher Columbus from Havana to Madrid wjll likely be passed upon by the Paris yeace commissioners, but before any discussion is reached four nations will become involved in the controversy. The four nations not only claim the right to possess the remains of the great discoverer, but thoy assert that they already have them and are pre pared to baok up the assertion with all sorts of proof. There is a quartet of Columbian graves in different parts of the world aud eaoh oue is sepal ately worshiped as the real article. One of these is in Havana, one is in Santo Domingo, one is iu Geuoa, Italy, and one is in Valladolid, Spain. When Santo Domingo, whert?*Ti?8 VIAL CONTATSTXG THE ASHES OF COLUM BUS AT OEXOA, ITALY. body was interred after having been brought, fiora its resting placo in Seville, became-a.possessiou of France, .the Spaniards removed what they sup posed to be the bones of Columbus, "COLUMBUS.* Final Resting Place of Discoverers with many of the other valuable' and and sacred relics of Spanish rule, tc" Havana, where they have since re mained. As a matter of fact historians aro now agreed that the bones which ?LEAD CHEST CONTAINING THE BONES OP COLUMBUS. tho Spaniards conveyed to their only j remaining possessions in tho Western Hemisphere were not those of the great navigator, but of his son, Diego Col umbus, a former Governor-General of Sauto Domingo, who was buried in the samo sepulchre with his father. The certainty that the Spaniards had made a blunder in removing the body j was established through a very curious -circumstance. Just before his death, Columbus, OE CATHEDRAL AT HAVANA. greatly aggrieved by the injustice and cruelty with which he had been treat ed by the people for whom he had done so much, requested that the phains in which he had been brought back a prisoner from his last voyage to the West Iudies, and which he al ways kept in his room as a memento ? SLAB OVEB THE COLUMBUS TOMB HAVANA. AT of Spanish gratitude, might be buried in the coffin with him. His request was scrupulously regarded by the members of his family, and without .the knowledge of the Spanish officers these relics were placed in his coffin before it waa finally sealed. 'A Frenchman who chanced upon some autograph letters written by the explorer found among other ihterest inc documents the navigator's will. He was struok by the strauge clause relating to the shackles, and made in quiries whether or not any such things were found when the coffin was re moved from the tomb in Santo Do mingo. ' As no one remembered to have heard of any such thing, an in vestigation was set on foot, with the r.esult that tho bones of Columbus were found to be still peacefully re posing in the new French colony. As a matter of course, the Spaniards have derided the notion that they could by any.possibilifcy have made a mistake, but subsequent discoveries have only tended to strengthen tho idea that the Spauiards had merely given one more example to tho world of the careless ness and superficiality with which they carry out all their official acts, cathedral in which it is situated, how ever, is a very bande?me structure. Tho bones were in ? plain,atone vault The sepulchre which contained wnas passes among the Spanish inhabitants of Cuba for the bones of Columbus is extremely simple in character. The ^-.-->v?

The stone vault surmounted by a bust supposed to resemble the explorer, but said to differ in every detail from his portraits. The bones of Colum bus, the Spaniards say, were taken to Havana in 1795 and placed in a grave dug under the spot where the vault now stands. In 1822 the Spaniards in Cuba erected the present tomb and placed beneath the bust of Columbus the following inscription: 0, grand Columbus! In tbls uro enshrined A thousand centuries Thy bones shall guardl A thousand ages keep thine image fresh, In token ot our nation's gratitude. When the supposed bones of Colum bus were removed from Santo Dom ingo, the ceremony was made the oc casion for. a display of Spanish gran deur such as had never before been seen in the Western Hemisphere. It is easy to concede that the lead chest i'ound at Saa Domingo was not the oae in which the bones of the Admiral were taken to San Domingo, for it is generally admitted that the name America, which appeared on the casket, was used before 1509, and the Gothic characters ia the interior of the chest were not common until the seventeenth century. The circumstance that the chest found at San Domingo is small, also confirms the suspicion that it was made to contain half a skeleton. That sent to Havana, although of the same length and depth was wider, perhaps to give more room to the hip bones and the skull, besides the other bones corresponding to those found at San Domingo. Tho San Domingo chest contained some fragments of lead whioh bear the unmistakable signs of age. This sug gests the probability that the chest was oast from an older one. After a distinguished career in Eu rope and Asia, Mgr. Boccococohia, the disco vcr er of the remains of Columbus at San Domingo, was made .Bishop at Orope, Yica. of San Domingo, and delegate to Hayti and VenBZuelain 1874. The leaden chest was found on September 10, 1877. The work in the cathedral ?a(l iIlst beguu when a hid den tomb was discovered at the left of tho altar. A leaden chest was found. It contained the remains of Don Pietro Colombo, the discoverer's grandson. The chest containing the bones of Columbus was at the right of the first. When the discovery was made, be sides Mgr. Oocchia, the Italian Con sul; Giobatta Cambiaeo, his brother, Luigi, and the authorities of San Domingo, were present. The Consul, who was a Genoese, seized a pinch of the ashes in the chest and placed them in a crystal vial. A ribbon was attached to tho vial, bearing an in scription in Italian to this effect: "Ashes Of the immortal Christopher. Columbus, discovered in the Cathedral of San Domingo the 10th of September, 1877. To the City of Genoa, from her affectionate sons, Giobatta and Luigi Cambiaso." . The ribbon bears the seal of the City of San Domingo stamped in wax, and bearing the inscription, "Escriban?a Publica, Sau Domingo." When the vial arrived at Genoa the muncipality decided to preserve it in an urn of bronze. The urn was executed in 18S6 by Pandiani, of Milan. It is in ?he style of the seven teenth century. Four sea horses sus tain it at the corners, and graceful de signs adorn the frame, whioh bears on each side the arms of Genoa. The whole is surmounted by a female figure representing Genoa, the Queen of the Mediterranean. The left hand rests upon un anchor, and with the right the figure holds aloft the wreath of victory. Pavia received a similar honor, for at her university the didcoverer of the New World completed his studies. The ashes were placed in a sm*l! pyramid of crystal, and that was de posited in a splendid receptacle. The embroidered coat worn by a French academician costs ?125, the white cloth waistcoat $3 and the -striped trousers $17.
