FAME VERSUS LOVE.
"It cannot lie !"
As tlirae ivonl. f. 11 from Helen Armstrong1!
lips she arose from her -eat, an old ovrt'irned
boat, and moved slowly toward tli(, wat r's
ed -,''.
Kor h moment lir companion, n man of per
haps twenty. live, hesitated; then he Joined her,
repealing :
"It cannot be Helen? Surely you are not In
eanii'st. Voti love inn, have you not taid
It ? and yet you refuse to become my wife !''
4 Kdwin. !-"
"You did not mean it," quickly Interrnplcd
Edwin bViuictt, oddiiiR : "Comn, darling, why
should not wr be hji.y?" And lie drew her
h ind Mil h in his ami.
For nu insta-t, she let It rest there, tln n
slowly but llimly she loosened his clasp, us the
laid :
' For two years you nnd I hnve been Mends.
In that time did you ever know me lo change
after I had Mice, d-cld '. upon anything ?"
"No, but" answered her companion
quickly, while she, uulneding, ;oea
with :
"You know Ihe one great desire of my life is
to win fame aa an artist, C'uulU I do this us
your wife ?"
"Why not, Helen! Would I not do any
thing In the world to help your' c.imo the
proud answer, us Edwin Dennett bent his eyes
fondly upon tho fair f ice beside him.
"No, E Iwm; as a wife I could never hope to
oW'iiin fiine. Marriage, brings to women so
many cares that th-re is very little time left
over for oilier work. I should not make yo,i
happy. I Siould be constantly longing foi mv
old, fr c life."
"If that Is all lam not ufr.dd to risk my hap
piness, Helen," answered her lover, a more
hopeful look laming up Ills l.ui..lsoine
face.
"Think how tar five yeats'coiilinoed il -len,
"I have worked with the one end In view. My
home, yon are, aware, lias not been particularly
agreeable I'nrle and mint arc kind In llieir
way, and have always let me have my own will
about painting;, providing It did not cost them
anything. As for love or sympathy, you have
seen haw nrieh they have vii l 1 al to me."
"Seen ui.d felt for you, Helen, (I d knows.
And now Hint 1 will make your life, if love c in
do It, one happy dream, you will mil; and yet
you do not lie iy your love for inc.1'
For a s"eoml Helen V eyes rested longingly
upon the face of the m ill who loved her so
deurly; then into their duky depllis crept an
intense, pastionnte longing, as tliev swept the
horizon and noted Hi.- gloiious splendor of
the setting sun, while she cii'laiiii '.l :
"Oh, E I win ! If I could only reproduce that
unset J'lst as il is ! If I only could I"
With an impatient sicii he turned nway
"Alwavs her art, never me ; perhaps she Is
rlg'.t after all. It wou'd ulways stand between
ui."
She, not noticing, went on with
"Il It woiil I only stay long enough forme
to catch those colors, but no, Il la fading
now."'
Turning, Helen found that her companion
hid left her sld and it) id a few yunli
owav.
"Edwin," she cal'ed.
In an instant lie was beside her, ever) thing
f u-giitleu except Hut she was Hie woman he
loved.
' I wanted to tell you how good Mr. Hovey
Is. It seems he was nin,iiaiutcd with poor
papa ye ns ago, when I was a baby, ond there
fore feels quite Interested in me. You i ave
heard how lie praises my work, and la't night
he proposed "
"Propos'd ! ' ox-hiui'd F.lwin Hennef,
hotly. "Why, you don't mean lo say that old
man actually had the audacity to n.k you lo
m irry him ''
"How ridiculous! Mow could you th'nk of
inch a Ihing !" answered Helen, a ripple of
laughter escaping from between her pretty
teeth, a she conllnueil :
"No; he propose,!, if I were willing, to send
me to Italy for two years, he, of course, de
fraying the greatest pal t of the expense, lie
iid when I became famous I could refund
him the little amount if I wished. Was it m t
(ren rou of him ? Ju.t think, two years nt woik
among the old maste.s. White nil I I not do
Iheu ! It would be such a help to nic. My
little Income would do, with cmc, i Ihink."
"And you would go " As Edwin Ileiinctt
iked (Ills qui'iUou a look of pain eroded hi.
faca.
"Why not " came the reply, na Helen,
rul.ed lier etc qnust ion : itl y to her coin pan
lou.
"You fay you love me; and yet you would
put the sea between us. Helen, wait; I wljl
work hard and earn money enough to lake us
both abroad. Do you think I could deny you
anything! You should paint lo your heart's
content, from the oi l ina-lers, or anyihiiig else
you pleased. 8o 1 nig as you were happy, I
should be. Pel hap I might turn painter, too
lome day, with you to inspire me," he add d
lulling slightly.
"I do uol doubt your lova for mn, F.dwln;
hut I shall iiover marry, t Intend to devote
my life to my art. At a wife II would lie Im
possible for me to do so. I should be hin
dered an I traiuelcd in a thousand ways, Hr
liere me, I have thought Very earnestly of all
this, and 1-"
"Helen, when I came to speed my vacation
here at Little Rock, so as lo he bear you, I
laid to myself, Now you can ask the woman
you lore to be your wifo, and know that you
hnie home to oiler her. For your sake I
wish I weio rich; but I am still young, nnd

why I shall nut be able before many yenr to
give my wife all ihe can wish."
"Il ii not lint, F.dwln. I (diould not love
you one bit Ihe more If you were a million
aire," luteri upted Helen, glancine, reproach
fully at him.
Helen, my holiday Is over to-morrow. I
must have my answer tonight" The wolds
came somewhat sternly from between Edwin
Beimel' lips.
Mechanically, with Hie end of her parssol,
Helen Armstrong traced on glittering yellow
sands, "Fame versai Love." Then, as she
became aware of what she had done, sho
sought to eftac! them. Too lute. Edwin
Beimel's hand slayed hers, as pointing to tho
letters which stood out he suid, hoarsely ;
"Choose !"
For a second she h.'sltatcd, then slowly came
the answer ;
"I tecepied Mr. Hotcy' offer this morning.
I am to sail in a week."
Spurning her hand fioin him, Edwin llenni'tl
cried out passionately ;
"(I nl forgive you! 1 cannot !" "Then with
out another word, he turned and left her.
A fiiut cry of "Ed a in" escaped her liiw. as
her aims were held Mil niiploi ingly toward
him, T hen they fell to her side, mid she, loo,
turned nnd went slowly across the sands In the
opposiie diiivtion, If he had looked back ami
seen those otitstrelclied nrias, how different,
their lite might have been; but no, he plodded
ungiili along the shorn, glan.ing neilli.'r to the
right in. r the left., l.luic by little the wsvca
crept up and I.ove was dimmed, while Enme
ttood out bold and clear upon tl.oyillow
sands.
Ten je.irs hive pigied nnd gone since Helen
Armstrong and Edwin Henuett parted on Ihe
shores, and during (hut time they hnro Di ver
met. Helen hud won Hint which she had
striven for She had become uu artist of re
nown. Even royalty had been pleased lo
compliment her upon her urt.
For Ihe last mouth one of Helen Armstrong's
piiutinga had been on exhibition si Hie Acad
cmy of Design, nnd crowds had been drawn
thither to see this last work of Ihe cnlehraled
artist. The subject was simple, nothing new,
)ct Victors returned again and again to gajc it
il.
It wns the last day of Us exhibition, when a
l.uly ui.d gentleman, the gentleman leading a
litllegiilofpeiliapsllincyc.ua ,y the hand,
passed lulo Ihe room where Hie painting
hung.
"Oh ! l.n't It too had there is such a crowd;
I wanted to see il !" exclaimed the lady, to
which Ihe gentleman replied :
"We will look at the other pictures first nnd
come luck again; perhaps there will not be
meh n email then."
An hour or so Inter the genlleiiian and lady
returned; then tie' room was almost deserted,
except for a f,-w stiaggleis here and thcie. It
w as just nlioiit lime to cloe the gallery.
For n few moments tin y stood in silence he
fore the painting; (hen K liulo voice said :
"H.iby wauls lo see, too, papa."
Stooping down Hi'! gentleman raised the
pretty, daintily dressed ch.ld in liii urms. Alter
gravely reguding the pklmc for a second, the
hill onu iked :
"Is lay mad pipn ? '
' I n in afraid one was, pet," cainii the Inw
answer, ss Edwin llenneii miftly kissed Iho '

About half way between them, traced upon

"Is it not lovely, Edwin!" and Mr. Ilmiuc't
laid her hand upon her husband' arm us she
ud led :
' Yet how s.ul it somehow seems. I cini
help feeling sorry for Hi. -in. I wish I could
see their faces. I feel us if 1 w nut to turn
them round."
Clasping Hie litlln ti 111.I that rested so coll
lidingly upon hi. arm, Edwin Dennett inwardly
thanked ii.il foi ihe gift of hi. fair young wife,
s he ?aid :
"Coine, d 'ar, they an commencing to closo
up. Baby's tired, too."
"E-s, me's liied. Biby wants to tlsi

Husband ninl wife failed to ii'itia - a lady who
stood near, gnr.lng at a palming. As the
pretty young inoiher stooped down lo receive
her baby's kl-s.-s, which the little one lavished
on her cheeks, lips and brow a de-p, yearning
look gathered In the. strange lady' eye nj
she turned hastily nvv.iv.
"Oli, Edviu !" exclaimed hit wife as they
passe 1 the silent tlgiire In black. "Wouldn't
It be nice If baby should grow up lo be grel
artist like this Miss Armstrong."
"find forbid, Annie," came the earnest
reply, followed by "let her grow up to be
true, loving wo nan, that It all I a.k." 7 he
lady' baud tightened its hold upon the bck

she did not move until they were out of tight,

Heln Armstrong for It ws h-hsd herd
of Kdwin Bennett' nurrlge heard that he
had succeeded In business beyond hi most
sanguine expectations; herd tint hit wife wi
one of Ihe loveliest and gentlest of women,
nnd that E lwiu Bennett Idollr.ed both wife

Then came the thought that sh might have

have hid those baby lips pressed a lovingly to

You bet your sweet life, conceded

It wa a church debt. Tlicin Min

for years, nnd hadn't had to' sink a

Small Pox Knn has never been the

I never heard a church debt Called

A TRAMP'S PHILOSOPHY.
In Ihe hip p.vl ct of u !d vagrant was a
memorandum book full nf lilt own writing
with s pencil, und some of his philosophy Is
Rood enough to be preserved. His (list para
graph le ij.s :
Drinking bad whiskey because It is 1. (lured
free is like g, 1 Hng In Hie way of bullet pur
chased by an enemy."
A sei oinl reads,
"Honesty li the best policy, but mine folks
ic nalislied with the second best. It is bald
to lie hmu st on an cuiply stomach."
A third leads,
"A diy p ink under a rain proof shed It bel
li" than feather bed ill Jail, and one Isn't
aiiuovid by the Jiller bunging In sqaiue
Im .1 l.f.nl."
A fourth pais:
" 1 'ay ns you go, Ifyon hiveu't anything In
pay with, don't go. If you are forced to go,
lecoid every Indcbtn -sj and let jour heirs u l
tie Hie bills."
The li.'ih explain :
"We should have diail'y for all. Wlon
winter winds blew cold, we vugs 'iuuld pity
Ihe poor fellows In India, who are U.ting red
hot wealllT."
A six recorded :
'Toluenes, cos! nothing, but ills not ex
pected Ilia! you will iv .ke a man up ul mid
night ton. k pciml-si m In go Ihroiieh hen
house. It is iiore courteous to let bun ei,J,,y
hit needed response."
T he seventh and last we noted down as
follows:
"When you pick up an apple core do ro:
lind fault becmse II Is not apple itself, but b
ali-fl d Willi Ihe grade of descent. Do not
he ashamed of your occupation. We cannot
all be lord, nor ran ae all be vsgranli. Ai I

A BABY THAT SEES SPIRITS.
A family by ihe name of Mack, re-
si.ling 111 I lie North side of town, lost
a daughter but a slim I time ago. She
was between six and seven years of
age. A baby over two and a hall
years old was the only 1 villaining child.
When Myrtle diet, said the mother, I
thought the greatest trial would lie
when baby should miss her sister, for
she was very much attached to ltd.
On returning bum the grave I sealed
her in the arm chair, and was prepar
ing lor my domestic duties, when a
clapping of lit lit- hands anesled by
attention, and an exclamation from
bany, 'There's Myi liel' fell upon my
ear, not a day has p iss,.,) but that she
has seen an I 1 1 di in of the presence
of our il.ii ling. One day she s.iid
'.My rlii' and grandma.' She had never
seen her grandmother, who is now in
spirit hie. One day 1 was out in t! e
garden with her, and she said, 'There
cullies Myrlie," and ran from mo as
though sin- was going ti meet some
one, and relunii'il w ith no sign of dis
appointment. All her movements were
as natural as though she had met her
sister, an I accompanied her lo my side.
Again she said, holding out, her' little
hands 11s it to leceive somelhing,
'My 1 lie brings Mower.' Again she
said, '.Johnnie is coming with his baby.'
'.Johnnie is a neighh ir,s b iy. No
one knew that this lamily had lost a
babe, and it wasso si range that, a neigh
bor wi in to dohtiiiie's in iiber to in
quire if it was so, and receive 1 nu

Svwvi'.i:. One of the stations on
the Kliz ibelh City and Norfolk 1 J til
mad bears the na,:ie of Sawyer, and
one of ihe best jokes nf the season,
hinges on the name. A few days ago,
as ihe I rain neai ed ihe station, 11
gawky youth whose awkwardness was
only eipialed by his happiness, was in
a car with one arm around the waist
of a young lady froni the rural districts.
She smiled responsive to his efforts at
pleasing. As the train rolled up to
the siali'in li e brakeman opened the
door, an I wilh the usual lightning
speed stuck his head in the car, took
one glance down the aisle and looking
as the ardent lover thought, straight
at him, veiled 'Siwyer !' at the top of
his voice. The passengers in ihe car
were moved t 1 a lit of laughter when
tin- I all c. ui 1 1 1 iy in 111, withdrawing his
arm Ir 'in ils lomloriable position,
stooil up, an I .baking his lists, shouted,
'Will, I I .n't care a darn if you did.
Me and h" are. going to be married
and we don't, mind who knows it.'
The poor fellow h id things mixed, and
tin1 awkward name of the station
caused him to give himself away.
