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!"
Sometimes l wonder if the child
ren left to the care ot nurses and
the contamination of the street
would Dc so leit if for one moment
the tire that blazed in that poor
cripple’s heart could shine in the
breast of their careless, fashionable
mothets If women could once taste
the picas re of doing lor and being
with their children it would not
take them long to learn that the
happiest, mi st. protifab e life is that
ot a conscientious sweet-tempered,
loving wife and inother.
While there is nothing in this
world that appeals. I think, so
strongly to me as a barefooted,
ragged, forlorn boy with tears mak
ing streaks down his dirty face, I
still And more pleasure '.ban 1 like
to admit in waiideitug about among
a tribe ot jolly little, torments or
watching the pretty, graceful ways
ot a well bred society baby.—if. 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

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.
James is snoring in profound slum
her. With a short of rage she pulls
all the covers off him, wraps up iu
them, and lays awake until 2 a, in.,
thinking how badly used she is.
And that is the way the married
woman goes to sleep.—Cincinnati
