She was the only child of good old Dr. Woolston of Greyport, a thriving village in. Connecticut, and in the circle of village society was con sidered at once a belle and an heiress. Hair and eyes the color of a chestnut when first the burr uncloses, a com plexion as soft as satin and white as milk, with the prettiest rose tint of color on the round cheeks; white,even teeth set in a pretty, smiling month, and a figure tall, slight and graceful, were the attractions in appearance of the village beauty. But those who knew Mattie Wool ston well were wont to say that her pretty face anti figure were the least of her charms. She bad a low, musi cal voice, a manner graceful and easy, high-bred by intuition of what was dignified and maicleuly; she was the neatest housekeeper iu Greyport, and all her tasteful dresses and hats were the work of her own deft fingers. She had read intelligently aud could con verse well. So it is no matter for Mattie had many lovers; 1 npon the list, to all app handsome Ned Gordon, v lego tanght" and whose : the aristocratic honors with the doctor and ra the only lawyer in the vi The minister was a bac -isb?lLyears of age, who '. ly to Greyjjpr?, .tc "crrnTCi^TTere ?ae ' e Gordons had each a a grave, reserved ma bore the impress of som conquered, and sncceeo. rene peace that is far al less content that has net terruptiou. .He was not man, but had large, tende a broad white brow, and irradiate his comely face 0_ almost divine when he preached with an eloquence and simplicity rarely combined. His earnest simplicity vas the deepest, highest eloquence, and men went from his church slowly and thoughtfully, pondering upon truths that were hut homely, every day facts, but suddenly had been illu minated by earnest eloquence into God-ordained paths to salvatiou or perdition. One of these men, young, wealthy and full of talent, was Ned Gordon, Mattie's ardeut admirer from boyhood. He had left her in sobbing pain of love to go to boarding school, had felt his heart torn when college took him again from Mattie and had become more devoted than ever when he came home "for good," to find her grown to womanhood, fairer than ever. ? The minister had been wont to say of Ned Gordon, when he considered the subject at all, that he "was not a bad fellow, as fellows go," being sim ply an idle hanger-on to his father's wealth, a desultory student of musty law books when the mood seized him, floating carelessly down life's stream, doing no especial harm by the way, but assuredly doing no good, either. Of his personal responsibility in the scheme of creation he had never thought until Harvey Stillman came to preside over the white church at Greyport, where Ned's fine tenor was quite a feature in the choir. It must be confessed that, under the dull, prosy teaching of Harvey Stillman's predecessor, the choir seat had been a gathering place for much flirtation and mischief-making among the belles and beaux of the village, and Ned's ohief magnet was the certainty of sit ting near Mattie and hearing her clear, sweet soprano join his own voice. Bat before Harvey Stillman had been a month at Greyport Ned was un easily conscious that many of his words were as dagger thrusts at his own aimless life, and, waking to this consciousness, he also wakened to another disagreeable fact, namely, that Mattie was also realizing that life was a more earnest,real thing than she had before pictured it to herself. She had never been a drone in the , live, but she had become more active ly useful outside of her little home world, visiting, in a quiet, unostenta tious way, amongst the poorest of her father's patients, doing good in an humble spirit, but with a sincere de sire to help, as far ns possible, those who needed her gentle ministrations. Ned loved her more than ever for the gent?o self-denials she practised so quietly that only those who were bene fitted knew of them; bnt, to his greafc dismay, there came a little gulf be tween himself and his love, widening 80 gradually he could not tell where it had commenced or would end. For the first lime since he was a mere boy he saw tbat Mattie gave him only the warm friendship of years of brotherly and sisterly intercourse, where he had given the first and only love of his life. She seemed drifting from him, absorbed in her new duties and leaving him but little^margin of time for the recreations they had shared for years. He was appalled by the fear ol losing her, and yet she ) LOVERS. THE She dries her golden nair upon the golden sand Tho very sun is glad to shine above her so.

[JT^ PRISCILLA. [ i Her John Alden. > x. H. kept him from telling ber either his hopes or his fears. "She thinks I am an idle, good-for nothiug fellow," he thought, "and I never got any chance to tell her how I mean to buckle on my armor, too, and do my share of work. I am stu lying bani, and father will give me a start in my profession that can be made a comfort to the afflicted and a light to the down-trodden. linean to be all even Mattie can wish me to be, but I can't get a word with her now. Last even ing she was with that poor, dying child of Crossman's, and today she is trying to comfort his mother. The last time I called she was at the Dor cas, aud when I do see her she is not the careless, merry-hearted Mattie of old. She thinks I am the same,though, and despisos me for an idle good-for nothing." Some such pouderiug was in Ned's mind M-hen, driving np the main street of the village, he overtook Harvey Stillman, going in the same direction. He reined np at once. "It you arc gang my way, Mr. Still man," he said, "would you let me drive you to your destiuatiou?" "I am afraid I am going too far for yon," was the reply. "I am on my way to Hawsou's place." "How fortunate I met you. It is fully five miles. Get in and Black conn?. r?solutions, till even h.s love Btory came out in er.~rest word . J..a on by the quietly oppressed oj.apathy in his resolves to enter upon a noble and more useful life, impetuous Ned, by a mdden inspiration, said: "If only Mattie contd know ho*v mell it would help me to feel sure of ?er love! I cannot say if she ever cared for me as I care for her, but if I could be'ieve she would be my wife when I deserved her it would stimu late me as no other hope on earth could do." "Yon think she loves you?" Harvey Stillman's very lips were white as he asked the question. "I did think so once. Now I would give all I own to be sure of it." There was much more to the same purpose, till Ned, with a sudden gleam of hope, asked the minister to plead his cause. "No one has as much influence as yon have. She looks up to you as to a fathler," said Ned, never seeing how his listener winced at the comparison; "and if you were to tell her how her love would aid rae she might believe I do not always mean tj be the idler she has known." "I will see her," was the grave re ply. "If she loves you she shall have the happiness of giving you the en couragement yon desire." But when the drive was over and the minister entered his study the quiet gravity of his face broke up into an expression of keenest suffering. He had borne many sorrows iu his life. Death had taken his nearest and dear est; poverty had laid lier heavy hand upou him; temptations had assailed him, only driven back by prayerful struggles. He Lad hoped to find in. Greyport rest, after a long battle in life. His salary promised him an easy competence and some leisure for stud ies he loved, without neglect of his higher duties. But before he had been in his new home many weeks Mattie Woolston's sweet, earnest face, her goodness, her unobtrusive,sincere piety had awakened in his heart an emotion he had never hoped to experi ence. Love had been a far-off possi bility for happier lives, and he bad not realized that, it was seeking entrance into his own till Ned Gordon roused him to the consciousness of what his deep interest in Mattie signified. He loved her and he had undertaken to plead the cause of another to her! Thought became such torture that he resolved to have the dreaded interview over, to know the worst at once.- He found Mattie in the parlor of her father's handsome house, and, fearing for his own strength, told his errand gently. The girl looked at bim with white cheeks and a startled expression, as if she had received a sudden,unexpected blow where she had looked for kind ness. Her great brown eyes had a hunted, piteous look that it went to his heart to see. She struggled for composure before she trusted her voice to speak, and it was low and tremulous when she said: "Since you are Mr. Gordon's am bassador, tell him from me that he has my most sincere good wishes for his success in his new life. He .as no warmer friend, no more earn t well wisher than myself. But I c never be his wife. I do not love. him. "We have been like brother and sister from childhood, and I can give him my sis terly affection, nothing more." "I think he ?B sincere in bis resolu tion to make his life more earnest and useful than it has ever been," Harvey Stillman said, his own pain urging him still to plead Ned's cftnsei "I hope he will persevere in his re* Solve; He mav make a noble man.1' "But his love-" "I can never return," she said, reso lutely. "Piay leave me now. I-I am not well." He left her. Ooly a few feet from the door he tnrned and retraced his steps. He had satisfied his conscience; had pleaded the cause of 1he younger, handsomer man, wko:,e pleasure money probably doubled and trebled his own entire income. Faithfully he had placed before Mattie all Ned's pleadings, all her inCuence might do for him, and he had won only a steady refusal of the snit he urged. Now he would risk his own fate. But at the dour bc paused, for Mattie had thrown herself in a deep.armcbair, and with her face hidden -was sobbing with a perfect passion of grief. Was it for Ned? Did she already repent her decision? Irresoluto whether to retreat or advance, Harvey stood in the doorway till Mattie, neither seeing nor hearing him, felt she was not aione and looked up. In a moment she was on her feet, and for the first time the minister saw her eyes flash with anger. "Why do you como back?" she said. "Have you not sullicieutly humiliated me?" "I?" he cried. "I humiliate you!" "What else is it to come to mc to plead Ned Gordon's love! Is he an idiot that he cannot speak himself,but mu6t make my name a byword by-prat ing of his love to every stranger?" "Miss Woolston, you misjudge him and me-me most of ad, if you imag ine I desire to humiliate you-I, who honor you above ail other women-I, who came, teariug my own heart, to plead against it for your happiness. Do not judge me harshly, Mattie, for my love's sake!" She had so visibly brightened as he spoke, such soft, dewy happiness rested in the brown eyes, such tremulous smiles gathered around the small mouth that Harvey Stillman felt his own heart swell with rapture. "Mattie," he cried, "I am poor, many years older than you are, and vet I love yon with all the strength of iny h?att!" "And I love you!" Simply as a child she told the truth of her own heart. He was not a mau for auy outburst of rapture. Tender ly he folded her in his arms, saying softly: "Thank God, darling!" Nobody but Mattie aud her betrothed knew why Ned Gordon resolved to continue his studies in Now York in stead of remaining with his father at Greyport; but year? later, when he came back to the little village to take . . . . , .. - tx-- :\ QUAINT AND CURIOUS Mrs. George Quint, of North An son, y. c., has a fox which sho keeps about the house unconfined. lt is as playful as a dog and npparcutly enjoys its domestic life.

An enchanted ravine of the Ulloa Valley, Honduras, is described as a regular weather bureau, with the pe culiarity that it is always reliable.

Everyone who reads the papers knows of the discussions whick have gone on for years as to the com parative value of the center-board keel-a board which lets down side wise from the interior of the boat through the bottom, the fin keel, which is a deep, sharp, fin-like pro jection on the bottom of the boat, the bulb fin and the ordinary cutter keel. So much for the hull of the boat. The backbone cf a sloop's rigging is the mainmast, marked (1) in the diagram. This is usually made of the very best and straightest spruce tim ber, although in ~the case of the Columbia an immensely strong steel tube has been used. At the top ?of of 'the mainmast, the topmast (2) is attached. In the case of the new cup defender this topmast is so made that it will slide down into the hollow portion of the mainmast, bat in HOW THE COLUMBIA'S CREW ordinary yacht construction it is firmly attached to the outside of the mainmast, as shown in the diagram. These mails are held in place by what are known as shrouds, long, heavy wire ropes (10 and ll), which run from the "hounds" at the top of the mainmast and from the top of the topmast to each side of the hull, where they are firmly attached. In order to further strengthen the topmast a crosstree (9) is placed at the head of the topmast for spreading the topmast shrouds. It was the breaking of this spreader which oansed the reoent accidout to the Columbia. When the crosstree snapped the top mast was loosened and fell boforo the wind with such force that the steel mainmast broke short oil about half way of its longth. ]?ext to the mast in importance is the bowsprit (3), which is held down by the bowstay ?VITH TRAMPS ;ES IN OKLAHOMA.

No doubt . uoh will be said in tho reports of ie coming races about the spinnaker id how it is set, for it is an exceed gly important feature in yacht rac g.

It is held in place hy e ropes and tackle shown at (25). bese ropes are callled the sheets, td they are by all odds the most im irtant ropes connected with a yacht, tie skill of a yachtman is based largely i his ability to let out or take in ese sheets, thereby giving the sail ore or less wind. The speed of the loht is dependent very largely upon \ e exactness with which the mainsail managed.

In sailing into the ind or "by the wind," as the old ? amen say, the sheets are drawn in iry close; in other words, the yacht fi "close-hauled," so that the main- 1 il stands almost parallel with the ngth of the boat.
