April 8,1886, “As if I would think of a common coal hand P said Emmeline Lath* rop, contemptuously. “I am sur prised at your insolence, Mr, Ilil- ford.” She laughed lightly as she spoke, but to Garrett Uillord it was not a matter of mirth. “You’re not in earnest, Emmyt” he pleaded ' “ You can’t be in ear nest! You never would have ac ceptod all,my attentions, aud looked at me with such sweet, smiling eyes if you hadn’t meant something by it I may be ouly a coal band, that is true,” he added, with a dark red flush mounting to his brow, “but I’m getting fair wages, and I could make a good aud comfortable home for the womau who trusted herself to me.” “It’s quite out of the question,” said Emmeline, decidedly. Uilford gnawed his under lip. “Then you meant nothing all this timef’ he said in a repressd voice. “I meant to enjoy myself—noth ing more.” “Uumph!” ottered Hilford, sar donioally. “The spider means to enjoy herself when she lures the wretched fly into her net! The beautiful, hissing, diamond-eyed serpent means nothing else when it drags the palpitating bird to de struction ! A strange sort of diver sion, that I” “1 wish, Mr. Hilford, if you’re through, you’d go about your busi ness.” said Emmeline, coloring aud biting her lip. There’s a good ma ny customers coming in about this this time of night, aud 1 don’t think they’d be particularly edifled by your tragedy speeches.” “You think not, eh!” said Hil- ford. “Well. I will go” “Good by!”said Emmeline Lath- rep, much relieved at this prospect of being so easily rid of her swain. “ Oh, I won’t say good by !” re turned Hilford, witb a light laugh. “Who knows but that we might meet again!” Emnu line sincerely hoped not. And just then some ladies came in to look at ribbons aud laces, aud the pretty shop girl found all her time aud thorgbt occupied. And alter all, what was the use ot troubling herself about it! L was very foolish of young Uilford to attacU so much importance to a mere flirtation—an exchange of the silly, smiling nothings which belong to the vocabulary of all young peo pie Did he think that she, with all her attractions, intended to be come that worst ot ad drudges—a poor man’s wife! Aud when, a few days subse quently, she learned that Garrett Hilford had iell the place, she was very glad. “1 don’t really think that he would have made me auy trouble,” she mused; “but there was a look in his face that i did not like It’s a good thiug that he’s gone.” And once more Emmeline threw herself into the gaieties of her light and trothy life. She was young aud beautiful. Why, tbeu, should she not enjoy hersi If! To have half a dozen lovers at once; to be engaged three-deep at every hall, pic-mc or excursion ; to muse ou the possibilities of a splendid match some day, when she should have danced and dreamed her till—this was her life. So one day she accepted Ethel- bert Warren’s invitation to go with him ou an excursion to the Ward- eaville Mountain Glen “He’s i icb,” said the schemer to herself, “if he is stupid. And mon ey means so much. Of course it would be pleasanter to go with George Sissou; aud George will feel dreadfully to be tbrowu over, but poor, dear George is ouly a steam boat clerk at ten dollars a week. Oh, dear, why is it that all the nice young fellows are so horribly iueli gibieT And no one acceeded more Joy fully to the proposition to descend into the black chasm of the Ward- enville Coal Mine, “just tor fun,” thau did Emmeliue Lath rop. “Have I ever beeu down a mine! No, of course not” the saucy beauty cried, “I live above grouud, thank yon. But it would be splendid fro lic to go down the sbatt, it ail the rest of you are going.” And they huddled together, screaming aud laughing, on the as it descended lower and still more low into the black depths of the 4artb, until the yellow shine of the day bad vanished, aud all that illu minated their faces was the lurid light of the torches carried by the men who accompanied them. “Why,” cried Emmeline, as at last the elevator touefyfed ground and she sprang off, “it's like a cath edral, with long aisles, supported by columns of glittering jet Five hundred feet below the level of the earth. Ob, it don’t seem possible. It is gcaud beyond all 1 had dream ed ot—yet how higbtfuUy gloomy. One feels as if one were spell.” The little party scattered in vari-1 tened about,” said tin* superintend- ous directions under the gleaming eut. “You could not have got lust, arches of coal, lighted here aud Garry Hilford is working there there by the fitful glare of torches, and Emmeline found herself in a long, apparently interminable aisle with its rudely-hewn sides glisten ing like black diamonds. “Where am I!” she cried, a little uneasily. “Have I lost my way?” From a pathway, which seemed to intersect the broader aisle at right angles, a dark figure stepped forth, witb a light shining like u yellow star in the band ot tbe cap it wore. “Step this way,” said a deep, sub dued voice. And Emmeliue gave a little shriek. “ Is it Garrett Hilford?” she said, “Here!” “It is Garrett Hilford, and here,” he answered composedly. “How do you do, Miss Lathrop! Can I show you around my.quarters! We don’t have many visitors down here, and so of coarse we are proportion ately glad to see them.” “Where is the rest of the party!” said Emmeline, glancing neivous- ly this way and that. “Gone round by tbe Black Arch, 1 suppose,” Uilford answered. “It is quite a curiosity, that Black Arch—at least, so above-ground people seem to think. Would you like to see it?” “I must go back to tbe others,” said Emmeline hurriedly. “We can meet them presently,” said he with the utmost composure. “Follow me please. It’s only a few rods.” He walked on, and Emmeline af ter a few moments hesitation reluc tantly followed. What else was there for her to do but to keep in sight of the faint yellow star where all else was hide ous blackness. But after she had walked quite a distance through sinuous pathways, some of which were scarcely wide enough to admit of the passage of the human form, she suddenly slop ped. “I will go no further,” she said. Garrett Hilford looked aronud. “J ust as you please,” be said, with a sinister smile. “Take me back to the mouth of the mine,” she cried. “All this time you have been leading me astray ” He leaned against the almost jier pendicular wall of the mine, with folded arms “Well,” said he, “why should 1 not! Didn’t you lead me astray once, aud laugh at me afterwards as if it were a capital joke? Do you think there is no such thing as retaliation in this world! Is it a pleasant sort of thing this being de ceived and made game ot, do you think, Miss Emmeliue Lathrop!” A deadly chill seemed to enfold the girl’s heart. She gasped for breath. In this sepulchral gloom, this terrible isolation, what was to beoome ot her, she asked herself. “Hush 2” he said, lilting his An ger in a listening attitude “Do 3<m hear that creaking sound ? it is the chains of the elevator going up. Your friends have finished their survey. They are going back again. Up to this time they have not missed you. Yes, shriek—cry out until you have strained your lungs to the utmost. Do these black walls return yon any answer! And who is4here to bear you—the mules champing their teed in the furthermost sockets of these aisles? the few Swedes working beyond, who do not understand a word ot English? No, Miss Lath rep, you are at my mercy at. last. You amus ed yourself with my anguish once, lean play with your tears now.” “I am not afraid of you !” cried Emmeline, feigning a vali r she was far from feeling. “You are!” be retorted sharply. “1 see it in your eyes, l hear it in your voice, aud it tills me with de light.” “Why sbould I be afraid? I have doue you uo harm,” she assevera ted. “No harm !” he bitterly repeated. “You have blighted my life. You have ruined my future. You have destroyed my faith in human nat ure. Is that what you call no harm!” She sunk ou her kuees, with wildly clasped bauds. “Be merciful 1” she wailed* “Be generous! Take me to the mouth of tbe mine! Signal them to return to me!” “I will nothe said savagely, “Does tbe wolt give up tbe prey u|K>n which tbe teeth have closed! Does death give up its victim? I have sworn to be avenged, and I will keep my word P She turned and fled from him at tbe top of her speed, shrieking as she went; and, oh joy ! at the first turn of tbe black pathway she met meu hurrying to her with torches. Shu bad been missed at last aud they had returned iu quest of her. “Why did you allow yourself to get separated from as?” asked they, reprjahfully. But she could not answer with sobs and tears. • “I—1 thought 1 was lost P she under a j faltered. “1 was so frightened! “'I’bere was uothiu£ to be fripb- somewhere, and he would have set you ou the right path. He is ajponr, love-crazed fellow, bat lie would Lave been civil enough.” “Love-crazed!” repeated one of the ladies. “How very romantic P “He’s been disappointed,” ex plained the man, “and he has nev er gotten over it. He works when he feels like it, and when he don’t he lies at full length iu the straw we keep down here for the mules, and stares at the roof of the mine.” Emmeline listened in silence; but if an arrow had pierced it, the pain in her heart could not have been keener. Three weeks later she astonished all her friends by accepting George Sisson as an affianced husband. “I love him,” she said, simply, “and he loves me. If we are to be poor, we shall at least be happy.” For that half hour in the War- denville Mine had wrought a com plete change iu EmmHiiicLatbrop’s frivolous nature. She had put the tawdry tinsels of life liehiud her, aud looked its real ities in the face. She had compre hended — alas, too late for poor Gar rett HBnrd’s happiness—that a man’s heart is not a thing to play with l—Helen Forrest Graves. rhihl-Lovqitear to Women, Even more true than for men is child-love dear for women. How dear none but those who have been deprived of it can ted. All uucou- tessed, the longing tor the tiny, clinging arms and babyish kisses wears deeper and deeper into sad old hearts. I think tbe saddtst thing I ever Ueard was the bitter contessioii of a poor, crippled girl I have known for years. She was a young woman when I was a little girl. Even as long ago as that, I can re member the exquisite tenderness that used sometimes to transform the poor twisted lace and make gen tie the heavy, half ; liteless hands. Once, not long ago, ahe was ill and 1 was witli her. A little wlntchead- ed lioy, whom some one who loves him calls ‘Thistle IPow,” was nest ling contentedly by her side. ‘ How you do love children,” I said thoughtlessly. “What a pity you have not half a dozen to keep yen busy!” Heaven forbid that I may ever see on any woman’s face again the look of passionate rebellion that was on hers that moment *‘i!” she said. “1, poor accursed thing ! I never yet have seen a woman so wretchedly poor, so utterly imsera Die that I did not envy iicr the wed ding ring upon her hand and the puny, unloved, uncated for baby in her arms!"

Y. Graphic. At the seventy third anniversary ot the Uichiaud Volunteer Bifles, held iu Columbia last w ek the lol- lowing pleasant incident occurred. As soon as the prizes had been presented Mr. Robert Morrison, an old Mexican veteran, stepjied to tbe trout and handing Capt. Childs an old document, said he had been re quested to present a document that would be of a peculiar interest to the company. It had come from the daughter of their first Captain, Mrs. A.C. McPheeters of Yorkville. Captain liicbbourg was requested to read it, and opening it read the commission issued by Governor David It. Williams to Captain Wil liam Harper as commander of the Uicbluud Riflles, bearing date Au gust 26, 1615. He suggested that the company should have the docu ment photographed for preset vatiou among their cherished archives. Brother Sam Jones must get up some new points. The N. w Orleans Picayune objects to the well known dog story, and adds: He said, it will be remembered, that if this animal went to see a base ball game be would kid him. He also threatened to kill him if he did various other things. His lat est threat is that if this dog votes for any but a Prohibition candidate he will annihilate him. it’s w won der that tbe dog hasn’t suffered a sudden death long ago. ProlMbly, though, this dog is already dead. He is certainly too good to be living ju (his world of sip, How They go to Sleep. There is an article going the rounds entitled, “How the girls go to sleep.” The manner in which they go to sleep, according to the article, cau’t hold a caudle to the way a married wo i an goes to sleep. Instead of thinking what she should have attened to before going to bed, she thinks of it after ward. While she is revolving these matters iu her mind, and while snugly tucked up in bed, the old man is scratching his legs in front of the tire and wondering how he will pay the next mouth’s rent Suddenly she exclaims; “James, did you lock the door !” “Which door!” mi.\8 Janies. “The cellar door,” sajs she, “No,” sa\s James. “Well, you had better go down and lock it, tor 1 heard some one in the back yard last night” Accordingly James paudlesdowu the stairs and locks the door About the time James returns and is go ing to lied she remarks; “Did you shut the stair door f” “No,” says James. “Well, it it is not shut the oat will get up into the chamber.” “Let her come up, then,” says James, illuaturedly. “My goodness, no!” returned his wife; “she’d suck the baby’s breaih.” Then James paddles down stairs again and steps on a tack aud closes r||Q stair door aud curses be cat, and returns to the bedroom. Just as he begins to climb into nis couch his wile observes; “l for got to bring some water; suppose you bring some up in the big tin.” And so James, with a muttered curse, goes down iu the dark kitob eit and falls over a chair, and rasps all the tinware off't he wall iu search of the “big” tin, and then jerks the stair door open aud howls; “Where the deuce are the matches!” IShe gives him a minute direutiou where to And the matches and adds t hat she would rather go and get the water herself than have the whole neighborhood raised about it. After which James finds tbe matches, procures the water auo comes up stairs and plunges into bed. Presently his wife says: “James, let’s have an undeistaiiding about money matters. Now, next week I’ve got to pay—” “1 don’t know what you’ll have to pay, and don’t care?” shouts James, us he lurches around aud jams his face against tbe wall; “all 1 want is sleep.” “That’s all very well for yoi ,” snaps his wife, as she pulls the covers viciously ; “you never think of the worry and trouble I have. And there is Araminta, who, I be lieve, is taking the measles,” “Let her take’em,” says James. Hereiipou she begius to cry soft ly, but about the time James is lulling into a gentle dose she punch es him iu the ribs with her elbow and says: Did you hear th t scandal about Mrs Jones?” “Where!” said James, sleepily. “Why, Mrs. Jones.” “Where!” inquires James. “I declare,” said his wife, “you are getting more stupid every day. You know Mrs. Jones that lives at No. 21! .Well, day b fore yester Jay Susan Smith told Mrs. Tliomp sou that Sam Barker had said that Mrsv Jones had—” Here she paused and listened.
