A 1JEATJTIFUI- LIAR,
Harold Wynne walked his library floor
with 'irritated and emphatio steps. His
brows were drawn together by a frown
that looked like ill temper, but may have
been perplexity, and his lips were sot lna--straight
line that showed the possession of
a Will, determined and self . reliant a
handsome man, well groomedco longer
young, but In that golden primo where the
alert soul knows its oworalue. ,
"Ethel has told mefcnother falsohood,"
he said In cold, even tones, addressing his
nephew, KalpbMeadows, who sat in a
window rejtreat reading up sbme problem J
In civil engineering, and who laughed sud-
denltas if the subject impressed him hu-
usly instead of shocking him, as his
cle expected. , ; I .
"Poor Ethel!" he Bald. "I don't be
lieve It is in that child to speak the truth."
i ".Child t'j His uncle winced. There was
too forced a contrast presented to his, im
agination by the term. "You forgot,
Balph, that Ethel is 18 quite old enough
to have some idea of moral responsibility."
"True, uncle, " answered Kalph,. with a
yawn, "but I should as soon expect to find
a kitten with a conscience.! She has never
boe.n allowed to think or act for herself,
but has always been a puppet in others'
hands." .." '".-;
"You undervalue her," said "his uncle
sharply. ' '
"No; t. only do not expect too much of
her. She has a beautiful character but
her moral nature has . been perverted
through tear."
. '.' Lying is such a contemptible thing, "
said Mrf Wynno severely. i v
"So is gambling. Yet I have heard yon
say that you believed you wore born with
a passion for gambling, . and , you have
needed help to save . you from yourself.
Still V ou have no mercy fox-. anothor sin
ner." . I .
J Harold Wynno looked at his presumptu
ous young relative in astonishment. Could
this be the thoughtless youth who had
lived Under his roof, looking up to him as
to a father, and who was now constituting
himself judge and jury to arraign and
condemn? '. , -
. Before he could speak the door opened,
and Ethel herself entered, a beautiful liar,
Indeed, her largo, guileless blue eyes wide
and wondering With innocent curiosity.
"There sho is tq speak for horself," said
Mrj Wynne. i''Ethel, did you not tell me
you were at home last, night all the even
ing?" 1- ! ' : '
Ethel looked anxiously from the face of
the uncle to that of the nephew; but, see
ing no help in either, she answored sweetly:
. " Y-es, Guardy.Iwas in my own, rpom,
'learning the lines you gave me to commit
from Longfellow. I can recite them now."
Ralph Meadows was convulsed with
suppressed mcrrlmejit; but Mt Wynne
saw nothing amusing in the occasion, as
EtheF, vvith a stately pose and dramatic
gestures; recited the Unes: f
If h7 night the frogs aro croaking,
Kindle but a torchrta fire. .
; i Ea, how soon the all are silent
So truth silendes tho liar.
Harold Wynne applauded his ward, but
his nephew was undeniably angry. I
"I have read somewhere," ho said, "that
truth was a greatly overestimated virtue.
If things were to go on like this, I should
be inclined to adopt that opinion. "
Mrf Wynne returned persistently to .the
original grievance. "Where were you last
night, Ethel?" T ' ' i
' "I haVe told you, Guardy."
bu were out walking with me, Ethel.
do you not tell him?" asked Kalph.
'I rforgot." : '
"Thorol" said Mr. Wynno angrily. "See
how one llo begets another. Why could
she not have told . me that in the first
place? I must say it was an improper pro
ceeding. Where was Mrs.: Fleming?"
"In her '.bed, sleeping the sleep of the
just. , We wero in by 9 o'clock. If there
was any blame,! it bolosgs to me, as- I
asked Ethel for company." i
"It is "not nocefesary, Ralph, that you
should shoulder Ethel's responsibilities,"
his uncle said in an annoyed manner; "she
is old enough to act for herself. I some
times wish" He stopped and remained
silent.
"Not that you had never taken me into
vour life don't say that!" cried the girl,
slipping down on her' knees beside.him
and pressing her BAVoet lips to his hard
hand. " You have been too good and kind
to me, and I can never " repay you ndl
will try, Guardy, indeed I will, to profit by
your goodness. Forgive me.
She rose with shining eyes and lifkea
vision of swectnoss passed out of the room,
nor did sho once cast a glance at the
younger man, who In his heart was call
ing his relatfVe a jellyfish of judgment
and other unapostolie names,
When the girl was gono from the room,
Harold Wynne clasped his hands at the
back of his neck and sat deeply thinking.
- "111 do it!" ho said at last. "It Is my
duty and the only way to savo her. She
needs a strong, rm hand to guide her,
know her failing and will temper justice
with mercy. Ralph, listen to me a mc
ment." " 4 ! ,s
"Yes, sir." Ralph laid bis book down
it was doubtful il he had bjecn reading
and prepared to give respectful attention
to what his uncle was about to say.
"I have decided to marryj EtheL"
"Indeed, sir,." , .
"It wilT make no difference to you, as
your property will remain yours by law,
have enough without that. And you will
maEe your nomo nere wicn Hitnei ana me.
She likes you, and if sho did not it would
make no difference. Sho must respect my
wishes." , :
"I should think,'-' said the younger man
slowly, "that you would hesitate to place
your happiness in the keeping of one Who
tells lies!"
" "Not at oil," answered his uncle coolly.'
"That is the one flaw in an otherwise per
fect character. I shall read to her treatises
' on the 'Philosophy of Truth' and other
literature of the same moral aim and strive
to teach her to love truth for truth's sake."
His nephew smiled. He did not know
much of that delicate and complex shrine,
a woman's heart, but he felt assured his'
uncle knew even less than lie. To be co
erced into telling the truth . seemed to him
a poor way of avoiding falsehood. But he
merely asked: '
''Have you spoken to Ethel f"
"No, but I will see her tonight.
Mr. Wynne touched a bell and sent word
to his ward that he wished to see her. She
come as promptly as if sho had been wait
ing for his message. Was it possible she
anticipated the honor about to bo conferred
upon her? .
Before Harold Wynne could speak his
nephew advanoed to meet Ethel and had
taken her hand. ' ; ft

hob ancient, juaa tne Chinese today do
the work just -as their forefathers did,'
and the styles are exactly the same. :
Alter the Chinese no people are so ex
pert as the Venetians. At present there
are more than J,000 workmen in the is
land of Murano alone who- are entrazed
in beadmaking. The few manufacturers
other parts of the world have all
learned the secret of the craft in Venice.
1 or beadmaking there 1 mnst be a rope
walk connected with the glass factory.
A rope walk is a narrow, straight gal
lery 150 feet long and bo situated that
the middle is not far from the furnaces
in which the glass is melted. "The first
process is the making of ordinary tubes
like those used in almost every drug,
etore. Two brawny workmen with bare.
brown arms seize a huge wedge of the
metal," as the molten glass is called,
between their blowpipes, and after it
has been .blown hollow they gradually
stretch it out into a long, swinging rope.
When it has been reduced to the prop
er size for the beads about to be made,
is laid .away to cool, after which a
workman comes along and in a wonder
fully deft manner chips it into frag
ments of uniform size. Often for Bmall
beads these are not much larger than a
grain of wheat, but so carefully is the
work done that the, little cylinders are-
rarely cracked or spoiled. - Li
The pieces are now picked up by boys
and placed in a tub with sand and ashes
and stirred up carefully. . ', In ' this way
the holes in the embryo beads are stuffed
full, thus preventing the danger of the
sides flattening together when heat is
applied. They are next placed in a skil
let just such a one as the housewife
nSes in frying eggs and stirred over a
very hot fire until the ragged edges
where the pieces were brokenfrom the
tube : are rounded, giving the , bead a
globular form. "V -
As scon as they are cool the ashes and
sand are shaken out of them in a sieve,
and then they are separated according
to .size by other sieves. '.They are taken
next to a-, long table around which a
whole flock of boys and girls are sitting.
If the glass is colored, as it often is, the
piles cf beads on the table suggest a
rainbow, with every hue, from jet black, .
through red, green, yellow and blue, up
to white. ' ' ; i-; '
Each child has a needle and. thread,
and by long practice the beads --are
placed on strings with almost incon
ceivable swiftness. And the children
keep an exact count, tod, bo that the
manufacturer knows just how many
beads he is sending, out. " The threads
are tied into bundles and shipped to al
most every port where a vessel touches.

BRYANT'S MARRIAGE.
It Wm an Ideal Union Between tho Poet

None could have been happier, no un

ny Fan-child was a young lady whose
parents had lived on the Seekonk, a
stream triDutary no tne ureen river, not
far from Great- Harrington. Early left
an orphan, she made her .home alter
nately with her married sisters in that
place, and there it was that Bryant met
her. Charming in person, sweet in dis
position, lovely in character, she drew
him to her through his sympathy with
her orphanage, his admiration of her
beauty . and his appreciation of her
worth. For 45 years she was the stay
and blessing of his life. What that mar
Tiage was to him they knew best .who
knew him best. Reserved on the subject
to the world at large, he allowed pnly
those who? were nearest him to know
the wonderful depth and tenderness of
his affection. Their sympathy was per
fect, theif" dependence mutual. ? i
He said at her death: "I never Wrote
a poem that I did not repeat it to) her
and take her judgment upon it I found
its success with the nublio to be pre
cisely in proportion to the impression it
made upon her. A dear friend of them

PHILOSOPHY OF A ROUGH MAN.
He Has - Discovered That Any Calling Is
Tlresonle to. Those Who follow It.
He was a poorly dressed and rough In
appearance man: but, nevertheless, he was
something of a philosopher. He was plod
ding along Ashland avenue near Sixtieth
street, when a young man overtook nun
and made some inaulries as to a street in
that part pt the city. The street was about
half a mile away, so they continued the
tramp along the rough wooden sidewalks
together. I i
. " 'Tain't so long ago," said the rough
man finally, making a motion toward a
, brick pile near the street, "since I used to
pile them Things ior a living. .....
"Hard work, I should think," suggested
the young man for want of something bet
ter to say. ' , ' f '
'That's what it is." V ; i
"And monotonous." , "
"What?" "
"I say lit mnst be monotonous tire
some." . il ' . :-' --: : "..
4fOh, sure.". Thon, after a pause. "So'a
"everything else." ' ':'..
"Oh, there is variety In some things,
protested the young man.
"If a feller doesn't have to do 'em, there
Is," returned tho other, "but I guess any
business is tiresome to the feller that has
got to 'tend to it right along. L I knowed a
feller that worked in a store reg'lar
hours, reg'lar work and all that. But he
got tdred of it. He wanted variety, he said
wonted to travel and have change all the
time. Be got the chance and grabbed it
quick. He was sent here and there and
was on marching orders most ot the time
lots of excitement and change, but he
got tired of it. Actually kicked to get
jback at a desk again, 'cause he said trav
eling was so blamed monotonous and tire
some and he wanted a change. - Same way
with everybody, I guess. ' Piling bricks is
mighty hard and tiresome, and I'm doing
better now, but sometimes I feel's if I'd
like to pile brioks again just for a change
There ain't anything that ain't tiresome
to the feller that's got to do it every day.
'What's ambition but a hankering for a
change, anyway? The only difference be
tween people is that some of : 'em want a
change so bad that they'll go backward to
get it, while the others have sense enough
to swear and kick, but hang on till they
can get it going forward. "Chicago

incessantly since 8 o clock this morning,
1 398 bids remained unscheduled. They
will be copied tc-morrow. It ! will take
many hoars ot hard work to straighten
out tne tangle as to the bids received
and the prices offered. In spite of the
care exercised by the committee which
opened the bids, many unavoidable
errors were made in announcing the
bids; -As proof of this it mav be men
tioned that a number of effers from
prominent Eastern financial institutions,
all apparently acting in concert,' were
read out as being at 110.75. This bad
progressed ior sometime wnen tne cor
rection was suggested by one of the
parties in interest that all those bids were
at 110.075. Ma future readings they
were so announced. The official analysis
of the figures will determine the result,
and this will be necessarily a work ot
great labor. . 'y :
The great feature oi the bidding was,
the ; offer of ). P. Morgan s syndicate,
which as now composed Includes only
his f own banking house, the Deutsche
Bank of Berlin, Germany, and Harvey
Fisk &.Sons. of New York, They pro
posed to take the entire issue at 1 10 06887
Oaly one other bid ot anything like an
eaual amount : was received. A Mr. Mor-
gan, after hgurtag on tne oias received,
said to-night that he estimated that he
would be awarded on nis Did about ou
per .cent, of the $100,000,000, He reached
the conclusion simply from hearing the
various bids read, as he did not think
that more than $40,000,000 bids above
that figure bad been made.; Scarcely
more than one-third of the actual bids.
received are included in the imperfect
list! now published. Several ; thousand
bids below the obvious limit of accept
ance are omitted.' Bids for many mil
lions of dollars, coming from. New York,
Ohio. Pennsylvania, Texas, Illinois, Con
necticut, Virginia, Maryland, Nebraska.
South .Carolina, North Carolina, In
diana. Michigan, Louisiana, S State Of
Washington, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minne
sotaand in fact, every State of the
Union thrown into the most incongru
ous state of Juxtaposition, and quite a
number of oners from Canada were re
ceived at prices ranging from 109 down
ward. The numner oi smau dios was
quite remarkable. The fifty dollar
otters ran op into toe nunareas. ana at
lairly good prices, and over one thon.
sand small banks and private individuals
whose offers at the highest rates of ac
ceptability ranged I from $300 up to
$8,000 or $9 000. are cot included in the
lists published. The offers by all classes
of small bidders below the 110 and a
fraction limit, which seems to shut off
ihensiue, were still more numerous. -
a feature of these offers was, that so
many of those of large amount, ranging
in many cases up to one or more mil
Itons of dollarsjicame from fiduciary in
stitutions, which therebv indicated that
they had no better outlet than that
afforded by U. S. bonds at the price at
which thev. will undoubtedly be
awarded.': :ti ;-y: iJ.--':
One of the . enrioas incidents of the
day was the fact that the bids of the
Union Trust Comoanv of New York for.
$78,000,000 at 110.075 almost escaped
notice in the monotony of the reading,
while the bid of the Morgan syndicate
was received with applause; - .
Tne Hanover National Bank, of New
York, submitted six separate bids of one
million each at prices ranging from 109
to 110 875. ;.r : .
Lazard Freres. of New York, bid
110.75 for four millions and President
Ino. A. Stewart, of the Union Trust
Company of New- York, bid for ten mil
lion dollars in addition to the seventy-
eight millions mentioned above, at a
lower figure. r.;,.t :-: -; ..
