pretty girl, entering, without, however, the
slightest trace of apology or awe hi her man

sion and familiarity of a habitue of the
cry pretty, and withal so ut
terly unconscious of it, or perhaps so con
sciously superior to it, that one was provoked
into a more critical ex -unination of her face.
But this only resulted in a reiteration of her
beauty, and perhaps the added facts that her
dark eyes wen- very womanly, her rich com-
. plexion eloquent and her chiseled lipe full
enough to lie passionate or capricious, not
wit Ivstandi rig that their general effect suggest
ed neither caprice, womanly weakness nor
passion.

In the darkened home, and amid the formal
condotemonts of their friends who hod called
to gore uiwn the scarcely coM features of
their lata associate, Mr*. Rigbtbody managed
to send another dispatch. It was addressed
to “Seventy-four and Seventy-fire,” Cotton

lowing enigmatical response:

■ - - . Mr. Rigbtbody touchod the topic he would
cry from tho wires above their heads; and have preferred to avoid,
the rain and the darkness again slowly settled
upon Cottonwood.
The message lagged a little at San Fran
cisco, laid over half an hour at Chicago, ami
fought longitude the whole way; so that it
was past midnight when the “all night” oper
ator took it from tho wires at Boston. But
j it wa$ freighted with a mandate from tho
San Francisco office; and a messenger was
procured, who sped with it through dark | jimply.

he hesitated, “this matter of yours and Mr.
Marvin's? Mi's. Marvin has formally spoken

Miss Alice lifted her bright eyes intelli
gently, but not joyfully, and the color of
action, rather than embarrassment, rose to
her round cheeks.
“Yes, he said she would,” she answered,

And one of heart's-ease, ushered May;
And then because two wishes met
Upon the rose and violet—
I liked the Beauty, Kate, the Nun—
The violet and the rose count one.
A week the apple marked with white;
A week the lily scored in light;
Beil poppies closed May’s happy moon,
And tulips this blue week in June.
Here end as yet the flowery links;
To-day begins the week of pinks ;
But soon—so grave, and deep, and
wise
The meaning grows in Baby’s eyes,
So very deep for Baby’s age—
We think to date a week with sage !

was growing
quite dark in the
telegraph office at
Cottonwood, Tuol
umne county, Cal
ifornia. The office,
jiu box-liko enclos
ure, was separated
from the public
1 room of the Miners’
hotel by a thin par
tition ; and tha oper
ator, who was also
newt and apreas agent at Cottonwood,
had closed his window, and was lounging
by his news stand preparatory to going
home. Without, the first monotonous rain
ot the season was dripping from tho porches
of the hotel in the waning light of a Decem
ber day. The operator, accustomed as be
waa to long intervals of idleness, was fast
becoming bored.
The treed of rand-muffled boats on tho
veranda, and the entrance of two men, offered
a momentary excitement He recognized in
the strangers two prominent citizens of Cot
tonwood ; and their manner bespoke business.
One of them proceeded to the desk, wrote a
dispatch, and handed it to the other inter
rogatively.
“That’s about tho way the thing p’ints,”
responded his companion assentingly.
“I reckoned it only sqaar to use bis dienti-
kal words!”
“That’s so."
Tho first speaker turned to the O|rerator
with the dispatch.
“How soon con you shove her through T
The operator glanced professionally over
tha addreas and the length of tha dispatch.
“Now,” ha answered promptly.
“And she get* there!”
“To-night. But there’s no delivery until
to-morrow.”
“Shpva bar through to-night, and say there’s
M axtra twenty left here for delivery.
M Shove her through to-night.’'
The operator, accustomed to all kinds of
extravagant outlay for expedition, replied
♦s.t bo would lay this proposition, with the
dispatch, before the Bon Francisco office. He
than took M aad read it—and re-read it He
pi mu ml the usual professional apathy-
had doubtlam sent many more enigmatical
and mysterious messages—but nevertheless,
when he finished, he raised his eyes inquir
tngly to his customer. That gentleman, who
an joyed a reputation for equal spontaneity of
temper and revolver, met his gaae a little im
patiently. The operator hod recourse to a
trick. Under the pretence of misunderstand
ing the memage, he obliged tho tender to re
peat It aloud for tho sake of accuracy, and
oven suggested a few verbal alterations,
ostensibly to Insure correctness, but really to
extract farther information. Navsrthclosa,

of close-shuttered ray less houses, to a certain
formal square, ghostly with snow covered
statues. Hero he ascended tho brood steps of
a reserved and solid looking mansion, and
pulleo a bronze bell knob, that somewhere
within those chaste recesses, after on apparent
reflective pause, coldly communicated tho
fact that a stranger was waiting without—os
he ought Despite the lateness of the hour,
there was a slight glow from the windows'
clearly rot enough to warm the messenger
with indication* of a festivity within, but
yet bespeaking, as it were, some prolonged
though subdued excitement. The sober ser
vant who took the dispatch, and receipted
for it as gravely a* if witnessing a lost will
and testament, rcs]>ectfuUy paused before
the entrance of the drawing room. Tho
sound of measured and rhetorical 'speech,
through which the occasional catarrhal
cough of the Now England coast struggled,
as the only effect of nature uot wholly re
pressed, came from its heavily-curtained re
cesses; for the occasion of the evening had
been the reception and entertainment of
various distinguished persons, and, os had
been epigrammatically expressed by one of
the guests, “the history of tho country" was
taki ng its leave in phrases more or less mem
orable and characteristic. Borne of these
valedictory axioms were clever, some witty,
a few profound, but always left as a genteel
contribution to tho entertainer. Borne had :
been already prepared, and, like a card, had
served and identified the guest at other man
sions.
The last guest departed, the last carriage
rolled away, when the servant ventured to
indicate the existence of tho dispatch to his
master, who was standing on the hearth rug
in an attitude of wearied self-righteousness.
He took it, opened it, read it, re-read it, and
said:
“There must 1*) somo mistake! It is not
for me. Call the hoy, Waters.”
Waters, w bo was perfectly aware that the
boy had left, nevertheless obediently walked
toward the hall door, but was recalled by his
master.
“No matter—at present!’’
“It’s nothing serious, William!” asked Mrs.
Rigbtbody, with languid wifely concern.
“No, nothing, .s there a light in my
study?”
“Yes. But before y u go, can you give
me a moment or two!"
Mr. Rigbtbody turned a liltlo impatiently
toward his wife. Bhe had thrown herself
languidly on the sofa; her hair was slightly
disarranged, end part of a slippered foot
was visible. She might have tieeu a finely
formed woman; but even her careless desha
bille left the general impression that she was
severely flannclcd throughout, and that any
ostentation of womanly charm was under
vigorous sanitary surveillance.
“Mrs. Marvin told me to-night that her son
made no secret of his serious attachment for
our Alice, and that, if I was satisfied, Mr.
Marvin would be glad to confer with you at
onoe.”
Tho information did i.yt seem to ahaorb
Mr. Bightbody’s wandering attention, but
rather increased his impatience. He said
hastily that lie would speak of that to-mor
row, and portly by way of reprisal, and partly
to dismiss the subject, added:
“Positively James must pay somo attention
to the register and tho thermometer. It waa
over 70 degs. to-night, and tho ventilating
draft waa closed In the drawing room.”
“That was because Profcasdr Ammon sat
near it, and the old gentleman’s tonsils are so
sensitive.”
“Ho ought to know from Dr. Dyer Doit
that systematic and regular exposure to
draughts stimulates tho mucous membrane;
while fixed nir over sixty degrees invari
ably ”
“I am afraid, William," interrupted Mrs.
Uightbody, with feminine adroitness, adopt
ing her husband’s topic with a view of there
by directing him from It; “Pm afraid that
people do not yet appreciate the substitution
of bouillon for punch and ices. I observed
that Mr. Spondee declined it, and, I fancied,
looked disappointed. Tho fibriue and wheat
in liqueur glasses passed quite unnoticed,
too.”
“And yet each half drachm contained the
half-digested substance of a pound of beef.
Pm surprised at Spondee!” continued Mr.
Rigbtbody, aggricvcdly. “Bxhausting hi*
brain and nerve force by tha highest creative
efforts of the Muse, he prefers perfumed and
diluted alcohol flavored with carbonic acid
gas. Even Mrs. Faring nay admitted to me
that tho sudden lowering of the temperature
of the stomach by tha introduction of
ice-
“At present," continued Mr. Rigbtbody,
■till awkwardly, “I sec no objection to the
proposed arrangement.”
Miss Alice opened her round eyes at thi*
“Why, papa, I thought it hod been all aet-
tled long ago! Mamma knew it, you knew It
Lost July momma and you talked It over.”
“Yes, yes,” returned her father, fumbling
ais papers; “that is—well, we will talk of it
to-morrow.” In fact, Mr. Uightbody had
intended to give the affair a proper attitude
of seriousness and solemnity by duo precision
of 8])eech and some apposite reflections, when
ho should impart the news to bis daughter, but
felt himself unable to do it now. “I am glad,
Alice," bo said at last, “.hat you have quite
forgotten your previous whims and fancies
You see ice are right.”
“Ohl I dare say, papa, if I’m to be mar
ried at all, that Mr Marvin is in every way
suitable.”
Mr. Kightt'slv looked at hi* daughter nar
rowly. There was not the slightest impatience
nor bitterness in her manner; it was as well
regulated as the sentiment the expressed.
“Mr. Marvin is”—he began.
“I know what Mr. Marvin •*,” interrupted
Miss Alice; “and be has promised me that I
shall be allowed to go on with my studies
tho same as before. I shall graduate with my
class; and, if I prefer to practice my profes
sion, I can do so in two year* after our mar-
riaffe.”
“In two years?” queried Mr. Uightbody,
curiously.
“Yes. You see, in ease we should have a
child, that would give me time enough to
wean it.”
Mr. Rigbtbody looked at this flesh of his
flesh, pretty and palpable flesh as it was; but,
being confronted as equally with the brain of
his brain, all he could do was to say meekly:
“Yes, certainly. We will see about all
that to-morrow.”
Miss Alico rose. So me tiling in the free,
unfettered swing of her arms as she rested
them lightly, after a half yawn, on her lithe
hips, suggested his next speech, although still
distrait and impatient.
“You continue your oxerebe with the
health-lift yet, I see.”
“Yes, papa; but I had to give up the flan
nel*. I don’t see how mamma could wear
them. But my dresses are high-necked, and
by bathing I toughen my skin. Heel” she
added, as with a child-like unconsciousness,
she unfastened two or three buttons of her
gown, and exposed the white surface of her
throat and neck to her father, “I can defy a
chid.”
Mr. Rigbtbody, with something akin to a
genuine, playful paternal laugh, leaned for
ward and kissed her forehead.
“It’s gettingJate, Ally,” he said parentally,
but not dictatorily. “Go to bed. ”
“I took a nap of three hours this afternoon,”
said Miss Alice, with a dazzling smile, “to an
ticipate this dissipation. Good night, papa.
To-morrow, then.”
“To-morror.-,” repeated Mr. Rigbtbody,with
his eyes still tixed upon tho girl vaguely.
“Good-night.”
Miss Alice tripped from the room, possibly
a trifle the more light-heartedly that she had
parted from her father in one of bis rare mo
ments of illogical human weakness. And per
haps It was well for the poor girl that she
kept this single remembrance of him, when, I
I fear, in after years, his methods, his reason
ing mid indeed all he had tried to impress
upon her childhood, had faded from her
manory.
?or, when she had left, Mr. Uightbody fell
again to the examination of his old letters.
This was quite absorbing; so much so, that
ho did not notice the footsteps of Mrs. Right-
body on the staircase as she passed to her
chamlier, nor that she had paused on the
landing to look through the glass half-door
on her husband, os lie sat there with the
letters beside him, and the telegram opened
before him. Hod she waited a moment later,
she would have seen him rise, and walk to
the sofa with a disturbed air and a slight con
fusion; so that, on reaching it, he seemed to
hesitate to lie down, although pale and evi
dently faint. Had she still waited, she would
have seen him rise again with an agonized
effort, stagger to tho table, fumblingly refold
and replace the papers in the cabinet, and
lock it, and, although now but half conscious,
hold the telegram over the gas flame till it
was consumed. For, had she waited until
this moment, she would have flown unhesi
tatingly to his aid, as, this act completed, he
staggered again, reached his hand toward the
bell, but vainly, and then fell prone upon the
sofa.
But alas! no providential nor accidental
hand was rai:*od to save him or anticipate the
progress of this story. And when, half an

When a woman says anything
mean about a man she always
winds up her remarks by say
ing: “And the men are all
alike.”—Atchison Globe.
The First Step.
Perhaps you are run down,
can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t
think, can’t do anything to your
satisfaction, and you are taking
the first step into Nervous Pros
tration. You need a Nerve
Tonic and in Electric Bitters
you will find the exact remedy
for restoring your nervous sys
tem to its normal, healthy con
dition. Surprising results fol
low the use of this great Nerve
Tonic and Alterative. Your
appetite returns, good digestion
is restored, and the Liver and
Kidneys resume healthy action.
Try a bottle. Price 50c. at Will
cox & Co’s Drug Store.
A Love-sick Trio.—He—“I
love you—only you.” She—
“What, little me?” Parrott (in
disgust)—“Coffins for three,
please. "—Epoch.
Tha New Discovery.
You have heard your friends
and neighbors taking about it.
You may yourself be one of the
many who know from personal
experience just how good a
thing it is. If you have ever
tried it, you are one of its staunch
friends, because the wonderful
thing about it is, that when once
given a trial, Dr. King’s New
Discovery ever after holds a
place in the house. If you have
never used it and should be
afflicted with a cough, cold or
any Throat, Lung or Chest
trouble, secure a bottle at once
and give it a fair trial. It is
guaranteed every time, or
money refunded. Trial Bottles
Free at Willcox & Co’s Drug
Store.
An Infallible sign.—Weeks—
“ I’ll wager a new hat that man
over there’s a schoolmaster.”
Potts—“Nonsense, how do you
know ?” Weeks—“ Oh, he tried
his hand on the seat of the chair
before he sat down on it!”—
