When h sioke. his voice was low and his tone pleading. "Do you mean, Uncle George, that I shall lose your love and resict if I marry Ada Willet?" "Or any tther woman who Is abso lutelv nolxxly. What do you know ol herf;' "Only that she Is the loveliest, noblest woman I ever saw. If you knew her jou "Yes, yes; but I mean, what do you know of her familv ?" 'Only what she told 'me herself, that her mother died of poverty, after strug gling to support herself by her needle. They were miserably poor for a long time, and then Mrs. Willet began to give work to Ada's mother. When she died, Mrs. Willet took Ada to her own home; and, after giving her eveiy ad vantage her own child could have en joyed, adopted her." - "What was her own name!" "Smith." "Bah 1" s; id Mr. Hilton, with every expression of deep disgust. "Well, marry her, if you will. Your present allowance shall be doubled, but you need not bring her here;" and, with a sudden fierceness, he added, "I want no woman hero, to remind me of a past I hoped I had forgotten." Never, in all his recollection of his " grave, quiet uncle hadIIilton seen him so moved. His voice was sharp with the pang of some sudden memory, his eyes Hashed, and his whole frame trem bled with emotion. "You are a nian;nov." he said, with one of those strange impulses to confi dence that often seize the most reserv- ed men, "a man seeking a wife. I will tell you what has never before passed my lips to any living being. I hare a wife somewhere," and a child, it may be." Utter astonishment kept Hilton silent. "It is all my own fault," 3Ir. Hilton continued, "that I am a lonely, misera ble man, instead of a .happy husbai.d and father. Twenty yearsngo, when I was past forty years old, I fell in love. Fell in1 love,,, for X, was fairly insane over My fa Delano when I had seen her . three time. ; I courted her with eager attention rich presents, flattery, every . fascination I ' could command. I was not", an unattractive man at forty. I had travelled, extensively, been a close fetudent,- -wan emphatically a society m airy a successful lawyer, commanding greatwealth.t Myra was twenty-five, superbly handsome, accomplished and - graceful. . , tli thought she loved me. I thought there was only trust and devotion in the love-light of her large eyes, the vary ing color upon her cheek. We were married, travelled two years in Europe, and then returned here to this house and opened Its doors to society. Our child was nearly a year old .when we came home, and what love I could spare from Myra, I gave to Baby Anna. We were yery popular being hospitable and generous, gathering around us refined people, and both exerting ourselves to the utmost Tor the pleasure of our guests. But while we were travelling all in all to each other, there was sleep ing in my heart a demon which stirred to life when we returned. Strong as my lore I found my jealousy. I was a fool, a mad, jealous fool for I stung a sensitive woman to contempt of my opinion, defiance of my unworthy sus-;.'.- plcion8. Now I can see that Myra was but filling her proper place in society as hostess or guest; but then, blinded by my jealousy, I grudged any other man a pleasant look or a cheery word.

"But now, Uncle George -can' noth ing Im? done now ?" "We hare been here three years, and every mouth there has been an adver tisement only Myra would understand iu the leading pajers. 1 have never had one line of answer. No, my boy, It 1 hoieless now !

" It seemed as if, in the excitement of his recital, Mr. Hilton had forgotten the conversation that had immediately suggested it. He rose from his seat, and opening a cabinet in the room, brought back a small box. It contained a bracelet of hair with an inexpensive clasp, and a locket. "When we were in Paris," he said, "I had. this bracelet made of Myra's hair and mine woven together; she has the companion one. This tiny coil of gold in the clasp was cut from the baby's head, our little darling, then but three months old. It must hav been some lingering love that made Myra still keep the bracelet like this which she wore constantly. What Is the matter, Hil ton r 1 ou are as white as death. "Nothing. Is jour wife's picture in the locket?" "Yes. You see how-: beautiful she was. v. "I see more than that!" said Hilton; 'and yet I dare not tell you what I hope. Will you give one little hour to see if "If what?" "Only oue hour I will be back then !" "Stop!" Mr. Hilton cried, shaking with excitement. But his nephew was gone. Hoping, fearing, not knowing what to hope or fear, 31r. Hilton watch ed the clock till the hour should be over. He walked up and down, he tried to read, he lived oyer and again that past. whose remorseless memories had been so vividly recalled. With Myra's pic ture before him, he thought again. of the wild, fierce love that had been his curse, " " Why was I not calm, reasonable, as became my years and position ?" he asked himself, bitterly. '."Why did I give a bov's love to a woman who had ived in society, and respected all its re quirements? I lived an idle life Myra the actual onearound us. Where is Hilton ? W hat can he know ? What has he discovered? Only thirty min utes gone, and it seems a day since he was here!" But even before the hour was over, Hilton returned. In his eagerness to question him, Mr. Ililton did not notice that he came through the drawing-room to the library where he waited, leaving the door a little open. "Where have you been ?" Mr. Hilton asked.. -.'-..; "To procure this," Hilton answered, gravely, placing in his uncle's band th duplicate of the bracelet upon the table. The same braid of sunny brown hair, with here and there some of raven black streaked with gray ; the same small clasp with a wee coil of baby curl under the glass; the same lettering, too Myra and George twined together with fantastic scrolls and twists. For several moments there was deep silence. The old man could not speak, and the young one would not break in upon what he felt to be a sacred emotion. At last, lifting his head, George Hilton asked, "Does Myra live? Can she forgive me?" "It is years since she died," Hilton answered, "but surely, in heaven she has forgiven you ! She never of you to your child but in words of respect and affection, though she always spoke of you as dead." "My child ! Y'ou know my child ?" "I know and love her. Did you not guess, Uncle George, where I saw that bracelet whose duplicate I recognized at once, whose face is a living copy of the one in your locket? Must I tell you that the child Mrs. Willet rescued from poverty, and adopted for her own, i3 my cousin, and your daughter?" "Ada Smith?" " Smith was the name her mother thought most probably would best con ceal her identity, and Ada was the nam of.M r. W illet' fily child. boJWu Infancy "Bt why hav you frH broajcit lr to w?" ukd 1 r.

That wa all; but a George Hilton folded bis child in hi arm, he knew that he wa forgiven, and tor him at last there might be happlnea In making other happy. Gool Mr. Willett inoumHl and re joiced at onceover her own loand her adopud daughter good fortune, but condoled herwjlf with the thought that Ada must have left her to be Hilton' wife, and, after all, they would still be neighbor. Buthe would not give her up until after a most brilliant wedding, and George Hilton only welcomed his daughter to her home when he also gave tender greeting to Hilton' wife. Haviuc It Hot. My neighbor, Cooley, suffered a good deal lat winter from rheumatism in his breast, and his wife was badly frightened about it for fear it would end in consumption. Cooley could not be induced to try any remedy for thin trouble, and Mrs. Cooley was nearly worried to death about it. At last ahe determined to try strategy. She made up a dry mustard plaster, and one night while he wa asleep she sewed It on to the inside of his undershirt, so that it would just about cover the rheumatic place. Cooley dressed himself in the morning, wholly unsuspicious of the plaster, and went down stairs At the breakfast table, while he was talking to his wife, he suddenly stopped, looking cross-ej'ed, and a spa.sm of pain passed over his face. Then he took up the thread of the conversation again, and went on. He was in the midst of an explanation of the political situation in Ohio, when all at once heceased again, grew red iu the face, and exclaimed : 1 wonder what in the no, it can't be anything wrong." Mrs. Cooley asked what was the mat ter, and Cooley said : "Oh, It's that infernal old rheuma tism again, come back awful. But 1 lever felt it exactly the same wray be fore; it kinder stings me." Mrs. Cooley said she was sorry. Then Mr. Cooley begau again, and was just showing her how the ravages of the potato bugs in the East, and the grasshoppers in the West would afl'ect the political result next fall by making the people discontented, and so likely to strike at the party in power, w hen he suddenly dropped the subject and jumping up, said : -v Thunder and lightning, what was that? Ouch ! O Moses!! I feel's it I had a shovel full of hot coals inside my undershirt!" "Must be that rheumatism, getting worse, ' saul Mrs. cooley, sympatneti- cally. Oh! gracious no! It's something worse than rheumatism. Feels like fire burning into my skin. Ouch I Ow- wow-wow ! It's awful ! I really can't stand it another minnte ! I believe it's cholera or something, and I'm going to die!" "Do try to be calm, Mr. Cooley." "Calm!! How can a man be calm with a volcano boiling over under his shirt? G'way from here ! Get out of my way, quick, while I go upstairs to uudress. Mnrder-r-r-r-r, but it hurts. Let me get out quick." Then he rushed up to the bedroom and stripped off his clothing. His chest was the color of a boiled lobster, but he couldn't tell for the life of him w hat was the matter. Then h?s eyes rested on something white on his undershirt. He picked up the garment and exam ined it. Ten minutes later he came slowly down stairs with a dry mustard plaster in his hand, while his brow was clothed with thunder. Going up to Mrs. Cooley he Cooley shook the plaster under her nose, and said in a suppressed voice: "Did you put that thing in uiy undershirt?""-' .,::;.::-'-;.': "I did it for the best, Charles," she said, 'I thought- " "Oh never mind what you thought, you crooked-nosed, chuckle-headed old idiot! Never mind what you thought. You've taken the bark clean off my bosom till I'm as raw as a sirloin steak, and I'll probably never be well again as long as I live. That lets you out. Y'ou nlav anv more tricks on me. and I'll hist you into the coal bin and eep you there till you Btarve to death Then he slammed the door and went out. Mrs. Cooley doesn't know to this day exactly what effect the grasshop pers are going to have on the fall elec tions. There are on the earth's surface 147,000,000 square miles of water to 49, 600,000 square miles of land. Mental pleasures never cloy.

As he passed alongh e patted the leoi ard on the head, and the beaat neemeA rather to like the attention. Then he came to the hyena' eige. The big epottel brute lay close to the bar, and iu mate wa a little way off. Winner carelessly as he passed reached out hi hand and patted the hyena a he had the leopard. It was a cruel mistake. The ugly brute awaiting bis opportunity for months, saw It at last, and, quick a lighting, caught the kindly hand in hU mouth, sinking it fangs into it deeply. There was a frightful struggle. The man sought to tear his hand away, and at the same instant, with a growl, the other hyena sprang to the assistance of its mate. For a moment it seemed a though Winners would have his entire arm drawn in through the bar, but with a supreme effort he wrenched him self away a cripple. The strong jaws of the hyena had not loosened their grip, and the left portion of tbe right hand was torn away a the man released him self, the bones and sinews parting like thread in the grip of the ugly brute, who drew back yelling with his bloody mouthful The ladies who witnessed the terrible scene were to be pitied, one of them al most fainting at tlie time, and being II from the effect of the sight even after getting into a fetreet car. Assistance was promptly summoned, and Winners was conveyed to a physician, who bound up the mangled stump, the man sufler excruciating pain from his injuries. He will, of course be crippled by theoccur l ence. The men who carried him to a physician came back pallid as spectres. Winners has been long engaged a a keeper of animals, and is understood to have been once seriously hurt by a lion in his charge. His brother, also a keep at the grounds, reproached him recently with his carelessness saying that one so experienced should have known bet ter than to trust a hyena, but the woun ded man did not consider himself much to be blamed. The hyenas, after the oc currence dashed about like mad things. They shrieked continually, and the other animals joined in, making the gardens resound for quite a time with the ugliest of choruses. The Grim Engineer. A locomotive engineer from the Bal timore and Ohio Kailroad was in De troit lately on a brief visit to his sister. In some way or other a new reporter on one of the daily papers ran across the man and appointed an interview, in order to secure the engineer's adven tures during the "late war." The bro ther of the footboard was willing to tell his story, and without stopping to take on wood or water he rang the bell and. began:'-"-.-;', "I ran the lat passenger train over the road the last train allowed to pass by the strikers. All the train officials were heavily armed, many of the pas sengers carried revolvers, and we were all ready for a muss. We expected that the strikers would displace a rail, let us through a bridge, or switch us into some gravel pit, and just before we left the station I kissed my wife and told her where she would find the sum of $33,000 which I had buried in the gar den. ;.7"; ' .' "Possible!" gasped the new repor ter, as he made a note of it. "And my fireman, feeling certain that he would not live two hours long er, confessed to me that he was the ab ductor of Charlie Ross, and that he once murdered a man in Missouri. The reporter made his pencil fly for a minute, and when he let up his note book read: -.':.: "Great Heavens coolly eon fessed $38,000 Charlie Ross I !!!! murdered seventeen men name of the fireman Tom Collins!!! more com- Ing. "And the conductor of the train," continued tbe engineer, "alto prepared for death. He returned to the compa ny $2,558,644.13 which be had knocked down during bis connection with the road, and humbly asked forgiveness.

That wa the best brandy I ever tasted, and I shudder now as I realise how narrow ly I missed It!" "Is that all?" aked the reporter, as his jaw dropped and hi ear grew red.."- ''-...' "Yes, that's all. Seems to me you can make a graphic thing of it some thing to travel all over the country." Yes ahem jess o," coughed the reporter, a he reached for his hat. "And you'll give me seven copies of the paper, won't you ?" "Seven yes seven just exactly seven," w as the faint reply. as a pair of boots Went down the walk.

Mrs. Brassey.an English woman, who accompanied her husband in a recent yacht voyage round the world, thus de scribes the crater of the great Sandwich Island volcano Kllanea: "We were standing on the extreme edge of a pre cipice, overhanging a lake of molten fire, 100 feet below us, and nearly a mile across. Dashing agalnt the cliffs on the opposite side, with a nol like the roar of a stormy ocean waves of blood red, fiery, li'juid lava hurled their billows upon an Iron-bound head land, and then rushed up the face of the cliffs to toss their gory spray high in the air. The restless, heaving lake boiled and bubbled, never remaining the same for two minutes together. There was an island on one side of the lake, which the fiery waves seemed to attack unceasingly w ith relentless fury, as If bent on hurling it from IU base On the other side was a huge cavern, into which the burning mass rushed with a loud roar, breaking down in it impetuous headlong career the gigan tic stalactites that overhung the mouth of the cave, and flinging up the liquid material for the formation of new ones.
