A PROXY PROPOSAL,
IF in all onr lives you
need me-if there
should ever be any
thing that I can do
for you, I swear to
do it. You can ask
me nothing wlrieh,
at any personal sac
rifice, I will not en
deavor to accom
plish. Yon are rich,
I poor. Yon are
somobodv ; I am no
body. But the timo
may come when the
promise will be worth something, and
I will keep it."
An hour before this speech was
made, Frank Millard had paved Paul
Holbrook's sister from a watery grave,
and brought her safe iu his strong
arms to very spot upon the beach at
Newport where the two meu now stood
together.
There never were t wo men so utterly
uulike as Paul Holbrook and Frank
Millard. The first a hard working
professional man, who had struggled
ior such little success as Fate had
meted out to him, unaided save by his
own hands and braio. The other a
man who had fortune for his friend
from his birth ; who neither tciled nor
spun ; who was a man of society ; a
member of clubs; and ono with whom
women always fed in love. From that
day they were friends. And so it came
to pass that, walking down Fifth ave
nue one day arm in arm, they met
Pose Lewis, that Frank introduced
her to Paul, that th' y turned aud
walked a block with ber, and that, a
few evenings afterward, Frank took
Paul to call upon her.
She was beautiful. But that tells
yon nothing about the woman-tue
frank, sweet, womanly woman with
whom Paul fell in love before he had
Hr.own her a month. Wrapped up in
his profession, engrossed by strug
gles for bread and butter, which, while
they seldom prevent a man from do
ing g/eat things, always unGt him for
society, Paul had known few women.
He had no experience by which to
guide himself, or by which to measure
his own feelings. For a while ho did
not guess that he was in love, and so
was drawn nearer and nearer to the
whirlpool, until, when the truth at
last dawned upon him, there was no
retreat. It was out of the qnostion
that she should like him. It was im
possible for him now to cease to love
her-to bc happy without her. That
she could care lor him never entered
his mind ; that she did, would have
been au absurdity too preposterous to
dream of.
But it was true, nevertheless. Rose
said, "If he cares so little for me, I
will make vory 6ure that he does not
guess 1 care one whit for him." Paul
6aid, "8ho shall never laugh at me,
though 6he does not love me. ?She
shall respect me, and never gues3 her
power, whatever pain I feel." And so
they met and parted, day after day ;
and no one guessed that auything
t roublcd the heiress but Fran k Millard ;
and only two, the same Frank Millard
and Paul's sister Bath, saw how pale
Paul grew. Poor Ruth ! who in her
terror asked Frank Millard one day,
if he thought that Paul were ill.
"He is so unlike himself," she said.
"I am frightened, Mr. Millard."
And Frank had 6aid, "I think that
your brother cannot be very ill. If
anything troubles him that will pass
away."
"But do you know of anything that
can trouble Paul?" asked Ruth. And
Frank had answered, "Perhaps I guess
at something, but lam not certain."
They were together a good deal,
Frunk Millard and Ruth. It had
entered Paul's head at times, that this
fellow liked his sister very well ; of
late, that it was possible that he loved
her. But Rnth, at seventeen, seemed
a child to him.
As she had said, ho worked very
hard, but toil could not banish the
"haunted thought" of his life. It
grew stronger instead of fading. At
last he resolved to try what charm
there might bo in absence ; to leave
the city ; forbidding himselt to meet
the woman he hopelessly adored ; and
availing himself of an offer which
promised to be a stepping-stone, to his
professional success, put a barrier of
miles of lind and water between him
self and Rose Lewis.
At the samo time Rose, scorning
herself for tho infatuation which she
could not control, had also resolved to
leave a place whero every day boro in
its arms a possibility of meeting the
man who, with indifference in his
mien and coldness in his speech, still
haunted her presence so persistently,
and following an example already set
by most of her fashionable friends, go
to Europe. The A's were going, and
tho B's. She should have pleasant
company on the voyages, so she said
to Frank Millard. On the same even
ing Holbrook spoke of his departure
to South America.
"It's a good offer," he said. "I
shall make money, and get on. Of
course it's hard to leave Ruth alone ;
but she will board with an old friend,
and be well proteoted."
"You are doing well here," said
Frank, doubtfully.
"In one sense, yes." "In another,
no. A man must not peril his
health."
Frank asked no explanation.
The days Hew by. Rose was ready
for ber tour. Paul for his departure.
Frank had seen a good deal of both.
Ono morning he sat in Paul's room,
and talked as people do when their
miuds are on some subject which they
hesitate tu mention. At last he
asked :
"Have you bielden good-by to
Lewis?"
Paul flushed, and shook his hen
"It does not matter," he said. '
shall not probably meet again;
will she care."
"I think she would," said Fr
"You will hurt her by going so."
Paul shook his head again.
"She will not care. Why sh
she?" and he turned his head awi
say the words. ?
In a moment more Frank sj
again :
"Paul, you know I am neith
bashful man nor a coward in :
eases; but every man becomes 01

have a favor to ask of you. You
member your promise to refuse
nothing I could ask of you. The
has come when I have need of ;
aid. Will you givo it to me?"
"Tell mo what vou waut mi
do?"
"I want you to see Miss Lewie
want you to tell her something w!
I have not tho courage to tell her
self-to tell her a love story, in
and see what she says to it. Will
do it?"
Paul stood dismayed. He - h<

"but you need not fear. Sho

"I am a coward," said Frank. ,r.

"But how?" asked Puul. "I kc
nothing of such things. I have ne

He was deathly white. But Frc
I went on unheeding :
I "Tell her a story-this : You kr

feels that his own deserts aro
small to eniitlo him to hope ; but
the eve of parting he can restr
himself no longer; he must tell ]
that lifo is nothing without her, t
her love is thc only thing worth str
iug for; he must ask her in t
strange way because he has not co
ago enough to do otherwise ; to 1
him hopo or despair. Then she v
ask who this lover is, and you may t
her; not until then-not until all t
story of the love is told. And y
will bring mo the answer."
Paul turned a ghastly faco towt
him.
"You will tell tho tale just asl ht
told you?"
"Yes."
Then he sought Miss Lewis.
"?ou havo como to wish me b
voyage," she said, as she held out L
hand; but he only bowed and seat
himself beside her. In a moment
said :
"I have come upon an errand tl
will surprise you, Miss Lewis. I n
commissioned to tell you a story."
"That of some poor person?'" 8
asked, "l'on havo ouly to say th
you know him to bo in need, ai
worthy. "
"It is the story of one who asks
gift," ho said, "but not a gift of alma
his voico trembled-"a gift that on
you can givo- you, of all the world
She looked at him shyly now. Hi
eyes dropped.
"I know a man who has loved ye
for a long time," he weat on, takit
now a sort of fierce and bitter pleasu
in this cruel usage of himself. "Fe
mouths he has thought of you by du
and by night, until tnere is but 01
! woman to the world to him-you. <
all the objects that there are upon ti
horizon of the future ho sees onl

your sake; without you ho will 1
nothing. has seen no token of an
liking for him in your faoo, nor hear
it in your voice ; yet he would hai
you hear his story, and know his fat?
ere you aro parted from him. H
namo-"
But then a sharp spasm of pai
caught his breath. Ho paused for a
instaut. In that instant Rose turne
toward him and put hor hand in his.
"My love is not worth so much,
she said, tearfully. "But since yo
value it so highly, it is your3. 1
always-has been-since I first kne'
you."
And tears came faster, and woman
hysterical sobs. And what could h
do but take in his arms this womai
whom ho adored, and who had jua
admitted her love for him, under th
impression that he had proposed t
her.
He was almost mad ; ho was quit
distraught indeed. The suddenness o
his happiness was in itself enough
And then there was tho awful oon
sciousncss of a terrible breach o
trust.
His utter joy and his woeful shami
mingled themselves in his soul, as
having bidden Rose adieu, he fount
Frank Millard waiting for him.
Frank looked at him. He turnee
away his head.
"What have you been doing?'
asked Frank. "Why do vou loo!
so?"
"How can I ever mako you believt
that I havo not played you false ?'
faltered Paul, and Frank burst into a
laugh.
"You have proposed to her," ht
said, "and she has acoepted you?"
Paul could not answer.
"You have the right to take my
life," he said; "but I-"
"Do you think I wanted to marry
Bose," said Frank, "or that I dreamed
she would accept me? I read your
hearts too well. I knew your love, and
your pride. I SIIW two who wero mado
for each other tearing themselves
asunder, and I took advantage of your
foolish promiso to place ye?u in a posi
tion in which it was impossible for you
to conceal your true feelings. Some
how I felt sure you would understand
each other ; and at tho worst I should
only have a refusal. My happiness,
as I think you must guess, is depend
ent on what Ruth will answer me some
da}-, and I thiuk I shall have courage
enough to do without your aid in this
case. "
When Rose Lewis returned from her
European tour-a very briof ono -
there was a doublo wedding ; and sinoe
Bose and Ruth wero tho names of tho
two brides, it is easy to guess who
were their bridegrooms.

A BORN* DIPLOMAT.
Charley was caught napping on the
poroh of the summer resort. A pail
of soft little hands covered his eyes
and a sweet voice commanded : "Gues3
who it is."
Nothing very dreadful for Charley
in this, yon think; but, then, yen
don't know that Charley was engaged
to two girls, and, for the life of him,
coul.iu't decide which voice it was.
whioh made it a very embarrassing
situation for Charley. A wrong guess
would lead to complications awful to
think o'. ??But a happy thought in
i spired Charley, and he anuounced :
i "It's tho dearest, sweetest little girl
in all tho world."
"Oh, you lovely boy!" gurglod tho
! satisfied one, as she removed ber
hands.
And now Charley thinks of applying
for a foreign Ministry, feeling that
his talents would be wasted in any
other than a diplomatic field.-Puck.
Strange Story ol President Tierce.
. Speaking of Franklin Pierce re
minds mo of a strange story I hep.rd
the other day, -writes "Walter Wellman.
During tho war a Presbyterian
preacher in Missouri who, by the way,
was afterwnrd in a Chicago pnlpit, fell
under the suspicion of the Federal au
thorities and was arrested as a spy.
His name was Painter. Despite bis
protestations ho was bundled off to
Fort Warren, Boston. After being
kept in confinement some months he
was released, but in a pitiable plight.
His clothing was worn out, he had no
money, and, to make matters worse,
his family had just arrived in Boston
from the West, having been sent on by
the military authorities. The poor
man knew not what to do, bnt had re
course in prayer, in whioh he was
joined by his good wife. They had DO
other placo than the street in which'tc
offer up their supplications, but this
circumstance turned out to be in their
favor, for their sad story was written
np in one of the Boston papers, and a
hotel keeper oame forward with an of
fer to keep the minister and his family
until they were able to find employ
mem. Accordingly'Bev. Mr. Paintei
took up his residence with the hotel
man and began looking for work. For
some weeks he continued the search
for employment, and with such yooi
success that ho was greatly discour
aged. "
.When the outlook was at its darkest
a strange thing O3currod. Rev. Mr.
Painter was ono day surprised to hear
that a gentleman wished to soe him.
A very handsome, dignified old mac
made his appearance, and thns ex
plained the purpose of his call: "I
have come, 6ir, to seek spiritual ad
vice and comfort. As yon see, I nra
well along in years, and failing health
reminds me I am not long for this
world. My home is in New Hamp
shire, some distance irom here, hut
there are good reasons why I do not
wish to visit the ministers of tho gos
pel in my own neighborhood. They
would say i had boen an unbeliever all
my life, and had turned to religion
only from fear of doath. It is not my
wish to give them that satisfaction,.
and reading in one of the papers an
account of yonr experiences, I re
solved to come to you. Will you pray
for me?"
The two men instantly knelt, and
Eev. Mr. Painter asked the meroy ol
God for his visitor. Tho old gentle
man was visibly affected. Then two or
three chapters of Scripture were read,
and a general talk about the strauger'e
doubts and fears followed, Bev. Mr.
Painter giving him much comfort.
Next day the old gentleman callee
again, and this time himself asked tho
grace of Gol. After thanking tho
minister for taking an interest in his
case, he placed in Rev. Mr. Painter's
baud an envelope, saying: "Do not
open that until to-morrow." He then
went away. Next day the envolope
was opened, and in it were found two
?100 bills and a card on which was in
scribed the name of Franklin Pierce,
ex-Presideut ol the Unitod States. -

She is More Than Eight Feet Tall.
A young woman of twenty years,
who lives in Price, Mo., is more thau
eight feet tall. Mis3 Ella Ewing is
her name. She was educated in this
remote settlement, and will not leave
it. Thus it happens that very few poo
plo have ever seen Miss Eving, al
though her fame has sprea.l far and
wide by word of mouth.
To be more exact on tho subjeot of
Miss Ewing, it may be mentioned that
although she weighs 290 pounds, her
height of eight feet two save3 her from
any appearance of obesity. On the
contrary, she impresses ono as grace
fully slender, and this impression is
contirmed by her taste in dressing.
Miss Ewing prefers quiet colors in hei
attire. Her hair is usually seen coiled
closely about head and curled4in front.
Her features are naturally large
otherwise they would be insignificant.
Her eyes are of that varying hue com
mon to neither the blond nor brunette
type of beauty, but suggestive of a
combination of both. Her hands are
large, but they taper in the fingers,
and never seem ungainly. She wears
rings on three of her fingers, and not
infrequently jeweled bracelets adorn
her wrists. Her shoo is seventeen in
ches long exactly, and her arms are
decidedly lengthv. - New York Her?

A Street Car (Juivcr.
"How do you think I came to wear
spectacles?" he asked. "Odd, aud yet
it isn't. Hundreds of persons get
them tho same way, through riding on
street cars. No, nothing funny about
it. Watch that fellow's eyos across
the other seat. Ho sits in tho car and
his oyo catches sight of something on
tho sidewalk. Hu watches it an in
stant, and his oye turns back as tho
car goes forward. Ho notices another
and tho thing is done over again. He
sees something ou the walk or in the
?tores all the way down, and he keeps
his eyes wavering back and forth. Try
that for awhile when you aro not in a
street oar, aud soo how tired you make
the muscles of your eye in a few min
utes. It grows into a terrible strain,
and the muscular tissue is almost par
alyzed. I've been doiug that for ten

HGT WEATHER DON'TS.
Don't worry about the weather.
Don't woik unless you have to, and
then work slowly.
Don't fail to carry an umbrella if
yon are exposed long to the sun's rays.
Don't drink anything to excess.
Ice wator is about as bad as anything

Don't use a fan. The exercise of
working it will overcome all tho good
ycij experience.
Don't think it is the hottest day yon
ever experienced, and if you do think
it, don't say it.
Don't bo afraid of perspiration. It
is a good sign, and it reduces the tem
perature of the body.
If you follow out the majority of
these don'ts you will feel that you fol
lowed tho injunction to keep cool.
Don't feel it a duty to look at the
thermometer every ten or fifteen min

Don't make a meal largely made up
of meats. Vegetables como at this

Triais of Newspaper Men.
"One of the great trials of the news
paper profession," says T. DeWitt
Talmage, "is that its members are
compelled to see more of tho shams of
the world than any other profession.
"Through every newspaper office,
day after day, go all the weaknesses of
the world ; all the vanities that want
to bo puffed; all the revenges that
want to bo heaped ; all the mistakes
that want to be corrected ; all tho dull
speakers that want to be thought elo
quent; all the meanness that want to
get its wares notioed gratis in the edi
torial columns, in order to save the
tax of the advertising columns; all
tho meu who want to be set right who
were never right ; all the crack brain
philosophers with stories as long as
their hair, and as gloomy as their fin
ger nails in mourning because bereft
of soap-ali the bores who come in to
6tay five minutes, but who Ptay five
hours.
"Through the editorial and repoto
rial rooms all the follies and shams of
the world are seen day after day, and
the temptation is to believe in neither
God, man or woman. It is no sur
prise that in tho profession there are
some tkoptical men ; I only wonder
that journalists believe -nything."

"1'vo always said," remarked Slr.
