NNETTE'S CAREER. XT AMY RANDOLPf. T was snowing still, sharp prickles of whiteness in the gloomy December dusk, when Ninette Beauvoir was driven up to her cousin's house. The air was intensely cold, the houses on either aide of the street loomed up like huge phan torms, and the gas jets seemed to thrill and shiver in the wind. And the wel tome of Mrs. Berry, her cousin's house teeper, was a dead match for the weather md the wind.. "I am expected, I suppose?" said. Kinette, wondering why the woman did aot open the door a little wider. "What namet'" cautiously inquired! Etra. Berry. "Miss Beauvoir, from Atlanta, 3eorgia." "1 have heard nothing of it," said .rs. Berry, without opening the door a fraction of an inch farther. "Mr. Trebleton is at home, I suppose?" "No, Miss, he's not," still frigidly. -Iwill come in," said Ninette, trying' to swallow the sutlocating sensation inu her throat., "I will wait for him. It isi io cold, and I-I am half frozen." - a Mrs. Berry hesitated a moment, then' spened the door, ungraciously enough., "Well," she said, "I suppose you can wait in the study until he comes." She showed Ninette into the red-cur-; lained, cozy little room, .td with: Dooks, lighted by the soft ring of flame' that streamed from a shaded gas-jet,. warmed with the glow of a coral-red tire upon the hearth. And here, eurrepti-' tiously turning the keys in the secretary-1 drawers and writing-table'and taking! them out, Mrs. Berry left her. "There are the paper-weight," saidi Mrs. Berry to herself, "and the ivory: paper-cutters and the inkstand with the stag's head in bronze; but I don't be Lieve she'd take them ' While Ninette, left alone, crouched, down in the low chair before the tire and burst into tears. "Is all the North as cruel, as hard, ast frozen cold as this?" she asked herself,, with a convulsive shudder. "Oh, it would have been better to have died ofi starvation in my own sunny, golden, South I If a stray dog, there, had crept in out of the storm at night, they would, at least, have given him a bone and a kind word. But for me there is no such welcome!" When Mr. Trebleton came in at nine o'clock, he found Ninette still looking at the tire through eyes that swan like tears. "-I am Ninette Beauvoir, your cousin's child," said she, rising with varying color. , 'Happy to make your acquaintance, I am sure," said Mr. Trebleton, apparently so busy in removing his gloves that he never noticed her offered hand. " What carl I do for you, Miss Beauvoir?" Ninette looked at him with large, grave eyes. -- "Papa said, before he died," she faltcred, '-that you would give me a horne with your daughters. I have no longer a home of my own. Papa's ill ness was excensive and took all *ur means." "Quite out of the question; quite out of the question," said Mr. Trebieton, hurriedly, as he took up a poker and began beating the topmost lumps of coal en the tire. '-Perhaps you are not aware hiiss Beauvoir, that I have a large and expensive family of my own, and I couldn't think of undertaking any ad ditional expenses." Ninette listened, apparently incredu bous of her own senses. "But what am I to do?" she asked. "What do other girls do who are thnrown on their own reso'urcest'' rather curtly demanded Mr- Trebie ton, secretly wishing that the inter. C; was over. I "I don't know," said Ninette, simply. '-I am only an ignorant Southern girl. No one every told me. I supposed, of course, that I could come ad live with youl" . "'Humph!" said Mr. Trebleton. "They reach; they take in sewing: they go into atores, shops, factories. They atrice for independence." ""Cousin Trrebleton," said Ninette, 'with p quivering lip, "if I could see your wile-your daughters-they are womner like me; they-" ."I sm very sorry," said Mr. Trebleton, stoniily, "but they are out of town. There, there; don't cry. If there's any. Yning~ 'nale, im is jo see a woman marke a scene. Of course, you can stay here to. night. My housekeeper, Mrs. Berry, will take care of you. In the morning roo3 will be better'able to look taings in the face." Mrs. Berry, still, stiff and silent, con ducted Ninette to an arctic-cold bed room at the top of the house, where the very candle seemed to shiver. t' "'What's the matter now?" said Mrs. Berry. "Why are you crying?" "I am so hungry,'' sobbed Ninette, in whose nature starvation had comnpletely 5vercom~e the heroic element. "I have iad nothing to eat since eight o'clock this no'rning.". -Mrs. Berry bit her lip impatiently. "And the kitchen fire gone do - c," said she, "and not a drop of milk left I W el, Ill go down and see what I can But when she came back, poor little Ninette, who had crept into bed to get warm, was sound asleep. And the nig gardly sandwich and slice of withered cake were too late. :Mr. Trebleton took Ninette to a gen teel intelligence bureau the next day. *-"This lady," he said to her, indicat ing a stout female in black-silk behirnd a tall desk, "'fill procure decent lodgings for you, and put you in the way to em ploymnent. And, if I can be of any further service to you, pray let me 'snow." IAnd he had given her hand a 6sh.like pressure and w as gone, before she faiy comprehended that this was his way of getting rid of her. 's Poor Ninette 1 Poor lit tle tropical chid af .tihe South, how infinitely lonely the :eit at that moment, But the stout female took '!p a pen, apeneI a big book and begaa to ask juestions with bewildering brusqueness and rapidity, and Ninette soon caught ;he infection of her energy. The rest of the weeit was like the sifting scenes which Ninette remem Dered to have seen at a pantomaime,yeara knd years azo. She was hurried from piace to place in '.he great, noisy bedlam of a city.- Nobody wanted a nursery governess; the school lists were crowded to overflowing; from the stores Ninett * shrank with trembling horror, after .he had seen- the amooth, nice, oily-facec superintendents of one or two. te "I can do nothing more for you,' '*" said the stout female at length, "uuless, w I indeed, they can give you employment te at the Decoration Rooms. It won't cuot 4 anything for you to go and see!" W To the Rooms of Decorative Art Niu- . ette accordingly went. The directres was engaged. She would see the young person presently. Let her be shown into s the workroom. A great, bright, well-ventilated apart ment tilled with busy workers, some at to frames, some at tables, soma standing before easels; and one pale, middle-aged womea was drawing a design for wall- th paper on a huge sheet of coarse paper- l daisies, corn-flowers, trailing vines, all pr tangled together. pr "That is not right!" exclaimed Nin ette, involuatarily, as she watched the glow, uncertain progress of the pencil. "Let me show you how to bring that . vine out!" - - to The woman stared, but Ninette had sh caught the pencil from her hand, and, be with two or three bold strokes, altered so the whole character of the design. From th mediocre it became original; from stid- te ness it took on a wild, woodlaud grace. er "How, did yo'i do that?" asked the w; stupid, middle-aged woman in bewilder- it. ment. M - . I w; "I don't know," confessed Ninette, o crimsoning. "Bat don't you see-can't th you comprehend' It couldn't be other- sil wise? It must come out soI" - ..' . th A hand was lid lightly on her shoul- Ce der, and turning around she found her- I self looking into the calm, amused eyes . of the directress. "You are right, my child," said she, IT 4it could not be . otherwise. But it is' e not one in a thousand who would know it. Come here, I must talk with you " That half-hour in the work-room of the Decoration Society was the turning- so point of Ninette Beauvoir's life. She th Ia had found her niche in life's temple. la She could scarcelv reckon up within a her own mind the number of years that r had passed when she sat alone in the little private parlor of the Decoration at Rooms in the soft dusk of a March even ing, with the red gleam of the fire filling t the room with dreamy softness. She had grown from an impulsive child into a tall, beautiful, self-poised woman, who presided over the ramifications of the U great society with queenly dignity and well-balanced judgment. And Ninette was happy now in having discovered her le true career. se The girl entered with lights. Miss h< 'Beauvoir glanced up. le "I shall not need the light, Gretchen," se he said. "I am going home as scou as m the carriage comes for me." o1 "There is an old gentleman, Miss h; Beuvoir, to see you," said the girl, di apologetically. "I told him it was past w hours. but he said he had walked a long a distance to see you, and seemed so old al and feeble that I didn't like to refuse. .j'. him. He has a portfolio under his arm." n "Where is he, Gretchen? In the re- t ception room?" interrupted Miss Beau- n voir. "I will go to him. d A tail, stooping old man, wita scanty ah locks, threadbare clothes and gloves T mended until thsy resembled a piece of a mosaic, turned as she entered. "Do I speak," he asked, "to the head t of the establishment?" -E Miss Beauvoir inclined her head. In the dark silk dress and mantle edged a with fur she looked even order, more dignified than her years. "I am very poor," he said. "I have met with reverses in business and am I quite dependent on the exertions of my ri daughters. They have been brought up t ladies, and, consequently, are compara' cc tively helpless; but they have done a little needlework, for which they would be glad to obtain a fair price, and-" W'ir. *ireoieioni" crieii out Ninette- ri holding out both her hands-. d He flushed deeply. .1g "That is my namte," lhe said," but I pa was not aware-" - i "Have you forgotten me?" she inter- p rupted. "Little Ninette Beauvoir) pi Don't you remember that we are cousins? T My circumfstances are good," saa added' tl coloring a little. '-I receive an ex- tl cellent salary here and have money laid up. Do you think I can allow my father's -ousin to want? I have a corn-a fortable home; it shall be yours, and my t cousis' also. My carriage is at the d oor now. Lzt us go together to your home." a And Minette, in her enthusiasm, over ruled poor Mr. Trebieton's feeble objec tions. "A comfortable home" she na called it but to the poverty-stricken inhabi Itants of a tenement-ho.ise on Grand street the little brown-stone dwelling seemed a palace, with its bright open fires. its sweetness of hot-house flowers, its moss-soft carpets, dark oiled boards - and walls tinted with the softest of colors. Mr. Trebleton sat feebly down in the fr big velvet arm-chair; his pale, sickly dauhters stood beside him, embarrassed, Iyet happy in their young cousin's warm Southern welcome. "Do you mneaui," he faltered, "that we are to live here-always?" "What else could I possibly mesa?" said Ninette, kneeling to arrange tue cffee and frit on the table at his sidic. "Are you not my cousins? Where shoulad your hom be but with me?" Mr. Trebleton brushed something from his eyelashes. "Ninette," said he, faintly, "I do no. deserve this. I--I didnt treat you so, t when you came a sohitary orphaa to my house" -f "Let all that he forgotten," said Ni- ' pnette, gently. "Remember, only, thatb you are welcome, more than welcome to W my hearth and home!" ac So Stephens Trebieton and his daught- iA ters stayed on, always, in the sunny lit, at tie brown-stone house. And Ninette ta was happy, for she had. it in her po wer to bestow happiness. "Of what use is money, if not to help p others with?" said sweet Ninette. "And they are my cousins, tool" But Mr. Trebileton had not arguei thus on that snowy Decem'ber night when Ninette Beauvoir came, homeles and solitary, to him. "Lord be mercitul to me, a sinner," he breathed. '-But I never knew, until I saw it in the uncompromising light of the past, what a miserable, aeltia brut~e I was."-The Ledger.

She was told by aiebody who pretended to know at I.e reduction was due to a de rioration in the value of the prop y, and that the Astors did not mt more than a certain interest ii That, however, was riot true, as is learned UponL inqLiiry at the ice of the Astor estates. The clerks ere said that the reduction was due uply to the fact that during the st year they had charged a per ntage for repairs and changes. As ine was required the second year e perccutage was taken otf. Never eless, it remains the fact that the Juction was voluntary and to the unaUt unexpected. A Leopard Scare. rampore Baulealh is suffering rrom ruethiog like a leopard scare, says e indian News. 'The night before it a leopard iiade a hole in the mat ill and entered a hut in a village nile from the cutcherries. Inside e hut were sleeping a inai, his fe, two or three women, a goat, d a girl U years of age. The leoiard zed the girl by tLhc throat ard at. miipted to drag her thi ouh the hole. ing seizea by Wite thruvt the girl uld not screau. but was almuost Ifcated, but ,he hole was not biv ough to allow the gir's budy ti s out while the brute held her by e throat. The leopard thereupon go his hold on her throat aud ized her by the foot and dragged r shrough. But as soon as he had r go ais hold on her throat sh~e reamed loudly, awakening the in ates of the hut. The man ruhed it with a big stick, but the leopard Ld carried the girl otT about a hun -ed yards before the wan came up ith her. He then belabored the nimal with his stick, when the leop d let go his hold and ned into the .ngle. The girl was brought to the edicalmissionary, Dr. Morrison, but ough everytbing that surgical and edical skill could effect has been >ne she is not likely to suruive, as er wounds are of a terrible nature. his event has caused something like panic in the place.

A newspaper, as a faithtui histo an must record the events of each y. the good anid the bad; but it is ity of a crime against society if it 11eys "impure literature." Actirg its rightful function, the newspa r is a most powerful agency for the evention of crime and impurity. he publicity it gives to offenders in e pursuit of its duty of chronieling Le occurrences of the day, is a nmost ticient deterrent from crime arid c arid imupurity. Wickedness is raid of the llght of publicity which e ewspaper casts upon it. In the rformanle of that duty, however, newspajer is never justified in L udering to depraved tas t s.

Several more than average bright minds came out of other cities of the peninsula. Bay and laurel come near hiding the lilies of Florence. Greece reared herself an immortal temple or two beneath her smiling skies. Art, science, philosophy, statecraft. the matchless craft of war, power, knowledge, beauty, all the graces of living and the strength of life, the poet, the painter, the musician, the student, the philosopher, the hero, the saint, have all been cradled in the breast of the sacred south.

After tbA boy's stock of papers were sold in the mcrning he would call for the pretty little blue-eyed miss and they would take lung strolls down Froscute road, pluck ing the orange blossoms and the magno. lia blooms. They soon got to be fami liar figures on Governmentstreew, sA they would walk along that busy thorougn fare with the young girl's head garland with wreath, of beautiful fowers and th little boy's arins filled with vines an evergreens. Then Miss Rives moved fa away into Virginia, but she never forgo her newsboy friend, for it was her custo almost Jaily to write him, telling ho sadly :she missed the walks and strolls his joyous, sunny face and the music o his boyish laughter.
