Eugeno Sylvestro, tall, welL propor tioned, blonde, and nustachod, stood With watclifil, albeit rather sleepy looking, c'yes near a crowded corner of St tt street in our busy, bustling, well-bepraised city. le was ioanina, with a lnsguid grace, peculiar to bis kind. against one of those mvthetic posts imp,trc,sed of Into years into the postal serviceo of our country, and as i.e leaned thero ho softly hummed a . verse of which the only audible words wern "good ntight, ladies." The young an'd talented gontlomttu hero intito'iueed us a gentleman, courteou s, brave, and kind, and one of fortune's favorito sons. l was also the city editor of 'he Morning .coop ensm14, tmost brilliant and influential of our city j.nirnals. and lie was in that patticuhtr ptlaco at this particular time in patient search after that thing which his soul loved-an item. The sun was shining with silmost southern intensity, and Sylvestre, who, I should have told you, was of south ern birth, had only to closo his eyes a little more than usual and stand near .one of Itaii:'s palattial pomological cmtpormimlns to be transported, Aladdin like, to his childhood's home, had he so willei it. In the throng of pedestrians and the hurrying of vehicles this cynical young suan saw nothing, that to his intelli gent eye was imiore than an oft-told tale. i1o contintied his observations f.ou fore of habit. or, rather, from that instinct born with the rightful neuberof the fourth estate. lie stood 'as one who slept and dreamed; all things to him tinreal seemed,'' when, lol one of thoso fortunes that favor the brave.

Alice was a child of wealth, atushion, and relinement. but she had a brother, and in her moment of sur prise, we regret to say, her ltgu ago was modeled in that of this noer relu tivo. She said, with emphasis, too: "Woll, he has a galll" Suddenly she lo.aned - back in her choir, ind peal after peal of laughter floated muse.dl y around her beautiful room. How sue .etsstully, this :air fisher of men had buiteul her hook and caught her fiht will be seen further on. Having laughed to her heart's eontent, r.ho nutl-ed a nh)mo"1t, then r4se, attir,-d Iwrsulf to hot furth conqutlriug :i.i to cont nor, :ad weut, as she said, "to boarl the lion in his very dou." An hour later Mr. Sylvestres' unman ageable heart thumped more fiercely than over, and ho felt inure limp and feeble than in all his life before, as ho was confronted in his sanctum by yes terday's vision of beauty. He t>owed deeply and presented her a ci:tir. She smiled sweetly and accepted it. Then a pause. He with expectant look, try ing to appear at ease. hoard his heart beating like muilled thunder, and was positive she did. His chtcks were aflame, and his hand shook as ho fumbled aimlessly among the papers on his desk. She was the image of high-bred repose. It somed to him that years of silunco were intervening; in fact only the proper interval had elapsed when she said In her cattiest tone: "There was a very extraordinary article in your paper this morniig." "Advertisoneet." lie corrected; then Rlushed to the temples at his asinine rudenos. and- idiscretion. If ho had betrayed himseif, however, she did not appear to beo it. She innocently at tributed his knowl,lge of her meaning to his newlspaper perspicacity. lie felt the perp iration running down his back and wilting up his celluloid col lar. but she vas as cool as the biggest one in a ''lodge of cuentimbers.' "Yes, the advertieiseent," she meek ly assented; "did you not think it a very strange onc?" Yes, he did. "'I was on State street yostcrdaV," she continuied in her soft toner, looking straight at him, "andl I dropped th b sitt' referred to; at least, this one bears a resemblance to that as do scribed." She laid it before him. "Yes, that is its mate!" lbe ex claimed, when "Hiow do prt know?". she asked, looking suspieiously at hint; but this time he was prepared, and had his little lie quite ieady, if necessary, as it was. "Oh, I saw the other when the fol low catme last night." "The follow? It was a man, then." "'Yo-yes--oh--yes. Soc - fellow picked it up. I saw it when lie came in,'' rubbing his chin and looking any where but at her. "O yes, of courso you would see it then. How stupid I amp" with a smile; then, as he deprecated such self-slandor: "0 yes, I am. I sometimes do the most ridiculous things. You could scarcely believe them. As I don't wish to shock you, though. I won't enlighten you," looking innocently at him and reading his silly, adoring soul as if it were the page of an open book. lie began to say something, when she again spoke: "Perhaps the man left it with you?" "0 no; but perhaps I can get it for you." And at this moment it was lying fairly soaked with perspiration just squeezed up as closely as he could get it to the heart that was framing those tremendous--well, say devia tions from truth. Sylvestro had never realized until yesterday that lie had a heart, but now he had real serious thoughts, as to whether it might not jump out of his throat, where it was at present chiefly located, he thought, and follow her departing footsteps. More of their talk wvn need not re peat. Half the men in town and all the girls can fill It out satisfactorIly. Sihe arb'so to depart, and gave hIm graciotusly her card, for lie was to come and "report progr'ess." He sat down and lost himself in a blissful reverie, and( she Went home, "walking on air," and all that warm day wvent singing andf "carrying on" about the house until she mado her mother "actually nervous with her fidgeting." * * * * * * * Six months later, after a brilliant and fashionable wedding at a brilliant andi fashionable church, and a charm lng wedding journey, Mr. and Mrs. Euigene SylIvestre, comfortably en sconced in their own luxurious home on Michigan avenue, once more hold sweet converse anent "that mitt" that fortunate "mitt." He, after the manner of men, has beon tolling her, perhtaps for the hundredth time, how fortunato It was that that follow who found "that mitt" had co~mo to The .coopemup to advertise It, and so given him the precious opportunity. Hore we will draw the curtain kindly, and resume further on. Mrs. Sylvestre, loquitur.' "And dheiar, dearest Eutgeno, do lot me say further that it was a mitten, not a 'mit.' None btut a manm would have called it so. And still more, my dear Eugeono, did it never occur to you that a 'fur- trimmed, fleece-lined k 1( mitt' was wonderfully warm wear for a hot suimmer's day?P "Did it not, dQar Eugene," with a mocking tone impos:sible to Imitate, "ever seem possible that a lady might by accident have had such a mitten ini her shopping-bag and chosen to drop, not the handkerchief-that is the Sultan's prIvilege, dlear Eugene,-but the mitteon, to tihe man of her choice; enter a store by one door and leave it by antothier to provet p)ursuit, and~ but listen while .1 tell yeou a little fable with an application: A yottng fox was once rovIng hither and thither, when she saw a goose.
