Uurt Cliny IlalsteJ, bro'cer, Broad
street, turned over a new leaf ou a Ncwr
Year. I met him at Dr. Hal Vd church
in the morning. He had - a reformed
look in the corner of his eye?. "I am
through,1' he said in it cairn, busine.ss-
ike manner.
Kvcrything that Cliue did was done in
a busii.essdike manner. I've known him
to get off a car and chase a newsboy for
two blocks to get a cent change, because
it was business and he would not be
swindled, ami I have known him to
write a note to Ned Harrigan to get a
free box'and then spend $U0 on flowers
and supper before the night was over.
With a Broad street peculiarity he in
sisted that that was business too.
I believe that- auywhere Cline would
be called a good fellow. He held strict
ly to the business principle of skinning
his fellow-man alive ou Broad street and
blowing in a pile when the boys were
not on that financial warpath.
One day C'line, as I said, turned a leaf.
He did it methodically, calculatingly and
firmly. He was polishing his dome be
fore the glass, and as he laid the brush
down he said.-'l must get married."
Very punctiliousl aud discreet -was
Cliue. He proposed to get married just
as he proposed to buy Nashville and
Tennessee. It was a good investment at
that time.
Then he set about it in the most ex
traordinary Broad street manner. 44I
don't want," said he, "any giddy beau
ties around. They've been around till
I'm tired. I want a mature, sensible,
sober, economical, tidy, level-headed,
modest, healthy, good-tempered, pru
dent, affectionate, sagacious, lovable,
motherly, genteel, sterling woman. Girls
make me weary, ami Urn going to organ
ize the business of getting what I want.
I can give an hour a day for the next
year to the finding of what Uwant, aud
I'm too old a business hand to have what
I don't want." ...
So ('line at fortv-four orgauized him
self. Set up a matrimonial bureau iu
that private office with cathedral win
dows. Tut his number eleven gaiter on
sentiment". Chucked the forget-me-nots
out of his soul and came down to hard
pan. lie would advertise. Yes, he would.
No nonsensical rot about cultured gent
desiring to meet cultured lady, but
straight bu-iuess proposition. - It would
involve immense clerical system very
well, would get typewriter, dictate an
swers for an hour every morning. "First
thiug to do get typewriter; must be
business girl."
II.
One moiumg there came to Cline's
general orfice iu Broad street a girl iu a
baby waist, with a pearl-gray pelisse over J
her shoulders and a cornelian ring on
her linger. One of s Cline's young men
first noticed her standing by the door.
He told me afterwards that what he
noticed wiit the absurd chip sailor hat
with a blue ribbon and an auchor oa it,
aud he wondered if. she hadn't borrowed
it from her little brother to come down
town in; it set up so perky aud saucily
on top ol her ridiculous v;ad of brown
hair as if she might be a lieutenant in
the Salvation Army.
It's astonishiug what things these
young idiots notice.
He went round aud said, "What can
we do for you, madam?"
"Madam" is a kind of official squelcher
kept for girls who venture away from
their proper salesrooms to where young
men can get back at them and pay them
off in their own coin.
"I am a typewriter," said Chip Hit,
very meekly. "I came to answer an ad
veitisemeut."
I m . - - . . mMHOHn
They directed her into the little oSce
with cathedral windows. Then they saw
the chip hat go through the fatal glass
door on the other side of which Clint
kept his grim official .severity.
III..
ne was signing check'. It was one
of the ruo-t serious moments of his life.
He looked up ami saw the chip hat
cocked on top of the bro.vn hair. He
leaned back in his cathedrtl chair aud
fastened his commercial eye on his check
book .
"Well, young woman, I want a dis
creet confidential s ecretary to answer cor
respondents. She's got to be here at tet
o'clock every morning, attend to business
strictly, and she don't get away till two
or three The salary is $12 a week. Dc
you think you can get down to that kind
of drudgery for that pittance and keep the
busines iu this roomf
All that Cline ever heard was a de
mure little "Ye-, sir," that had tht
same suggestion of tremolo in it that
on
one gets from raspberry jelly.
"All right. I can't bother with yov
to-day; come to-morrow," aud Cliue fell
to signing checks, and Chip Hat went
away, and the young man outside poked
his nose through the crystal portal o:
his barrier, puckered his lip? and flipped
two or three bars of "The Maid with the
Milking I'rtil" after her.
IV.
The little office with thf cathedra1
windows took on a new feUue. Then
was an instrument under the sash, with a,
black tin roof over it, and a littie sailor
hat, with a blue ribbon on it, hiing ou
the bronze peg opgosite the door.
"Now, then," said Cline, putting on a
, most, forbidding air of strict business.
"You understand that the matter for
which I have engaged you is entirely
aside from the regular business of - this
office. By the way, what shall I call
you? Miss what? Chalcey? Well, never
mind the Nelly, I'll cail you Miss Chalcey,
it's more business like; and I don't want
you to talk outside ot this room about
any of the business you have to transact
here. Do you understand? If you get
that straight to begin with there'll be
no trouble."
Then she turned her demure face to
wards him aud said, "Yes, sir," -so
meekly and patiently and profounly that
he noticed her eyes. They- were agates
moss agates, by Jove. Funny little
spots in them that swam and danced
round and melted into each other in tho
most absurdly molten way, as if there
mitrht be littie caldrons under them
where the light was boiled and softened
down into some ridiculous girl nonsense.
The worst of it was they always seemed
to be just on :he point of boiling over,
as of light, like music, had some kind of
inscrutable pathos in it.
V.
So they got along very nicely without
any nonsense. Cline would come in
about half past ten or eleven, look to
see if the sailor hat was hanging on the
pefT, grunt out, "Good morning, Miss
Chalcey," and then sit down at his desk"
to open letters. Sometime? she would
sit demurely for half an hour, her head
turned, looking out of the one clear lit
tle pane in the cathedral window straight
at Bob Slocum's Gothic office opposite,
where dhere was never anythiug to see
exceot Bob Slocum's window shades, and
that piece of telegraph tap? that dangle I
forever from the wires overhead, iu spite
of all the sparrows that had tried to pull
it off. At other times Cline would dic
tate, and then the click of the instru
ment drowred the monotonous chirp of
the janitor's bullfinch tint was whistling
somewhere.
Of course she got to know all about it
what it was he was trying to do and
he crrew to consult her on some of the!
detail-. Like a iood girl she put her
whole heart into it and really tried to
help him ail she could to find the wife he
wanted. How could she help it, aul
then. too. she couldn't help finding out
bv de"rees that Cline drew some heavy j
checks and ha I a swell circle of ac piaint-
ances.
And he well he, like a good method
ical business man, fell into a routioherc
as elsewhere. His heart was constructed
on solid chock-work business- principles,
and one morning when? he came in the sai
lor hat was not on the peg. It annoyed him
at once. It always does annoy a busi
ness man to have things irregular. He
fidgeted in his chair. It was too bad.
Nobody could be depended on, and here
were several letters to oe answered. He
called Swain iu. '-Where is that young
woman J"
i if Vw, ftr
l5Wa:n iiuric a a uiur, a? ii iic

"What do you want, a tjpewriterl

An 1 (dme snouted, "Nonsense! Shut
thicioor..
Then he notlc?d th? broazs p3g. It
had an ironical and plucked aspect.
He sat down in the chair by the win
dow and looked at Bob Slocum's shades.
He couldn't help wondering what Miss
Chalcey found to think about during all
the vacant hours when she looke i out
there, waitingiy.
Too next day when she came he repri
manded her Cercclv. "It annovel me
very much," he said from his chair, with
out looking round. "You should liave
sent me some worJ. I depended on you
It's very irregular and unbusine-jilike."
She tur.ie l round and looked at him iu
her meek wav. "My mother is dying,'"
she said. "I have neglected her to da)
so as not to disappoint you."
His astonishment twisted him round ic
his chair, ai.d he came plump up against
the agates, swimming in some kind oi
light he had never seeu before.
"Confound it, Miss Chalcey," he said,
-jumping up. "What do you mean In
having a sick mother and not telling me'i
What do you mean by coming, here to
day? Will you never get any business
i leas into your hea I? I tol l you that
this room was to be confidntia!. Do
you call it confidential to act iu this
manner? I'm surprise:!, Mi-s Chalcey,
I'm hint."
lie took down the sailor hat. "You
arc to go back to vour moth'jr at
once."
lie opened the door. "Here, Swain,
ge; me a coupe." And Swain saw the
sailor hat in his hand.
VI.
It v.-as about a week after this. The
room had half a ton of letters in it. Cline
used to come in. look at the bronze new
and go away again. Tiieu the sailor h-u
ieappeared.
Miss Chalcey was there waiting, so wa
her little lunch that she always ate when
CUaf and Wallace Went down to Del
monico's, and on Cline's desk was a tiny
bunch of violets. He shook hands with
her, congratulated her on her mother'.-
recovery, and said: "Pshaw! don't me a-
tion it, my child. I'm just about as kino
as the average business man no more
no less. We've got a terrible lot of bui
nesshere."
They both laughed !
Cknewasin particularly good spirit-
that mornincr. H was so comlortuuie
m 1
dou't you know, to have the office rou
tine go on its regu'.ar . business like way
to hear the click of the instrument ; to
get side glimpses of two white roun le 1
-wBsts dancing a gallopade; to know that
tie chip hat was covering up that brocz'
peg, and you couldn't hear the bullfinch.
Itwent on about a week, with a littl
btnch of violets every morning oh h
desk, which he always put in his buttoi
hole when he went uptown. There we
two days when he hadn't got a piu, and
she had, and so :.he fastened them on for
him, and there was one awfully nasty
da.- when he actually helped her eat her
lurch, and enjoyed it.
Then the whole affair came to a sud
den ston. These things always do in
real life.
It was a Monday moraing. She had
hu:i up tier hat and dusted 'oil "her ma
chine and looked to sec if Bob Slocum's
sha les were there, whdriX'line Paid, w ith
a horribly" sail, expression of counte
nance:
"Miss Cline,. you've been a very faith
ful and efficient secretary, and I'm sorry
I've got to lose you, but the fact is I've
j found the woman I want, and of course
! I shall not need you any more.'
She was looking at him dreamily, as
i if she wondered where the paragon cam?
J fr m that filled his bill. -
"Yes," he satd, "strange as- it may
j sound I've actually picked out the woman
i who is to be my wife and I shall not
want a secretary. We vo nan a very
pleasant timehere together, havea't we?"
"Yes, sir.'
"And vou remember all the qualities
that I was f.xol enough to expect in one
1
woman'
"Ye?, sir."
"Well, I've found most of 'em.''
"I'm very glad, sir."
"Do you think, Miss Chalcey, from
what vou know of me, that she will have
tue if I ask her?"
"Y'es, sir."
"You really and truly think o, on
business principle?!'
"Y'es, ir."

And she was.
The only uubiness-like . thing they
did was to both try to look out the ridi-
culous httk pane at the same time and
no two business people could do that
simultaneously' without looking likt
Siuuese twins. AV. 1VI Whrhl.
A Crow Whipped by Two Wrens.
A hen belonging to Farmer B. H.
Hanor of Smithiield towuship, Peun.,
got in the notion a while ag- of laying
in some weeds near the barn. There
werj no eggs in her stolen nest wheu
Mr. Hauor found it, and for a week it
was a mystery where the fruits of h
labors went to. One morning Mr. Han
or heard Biddy cackling, and he hastened
toward her nest. As he was going
through the gate a crow dived into the
weed bed from a pine tree near by,
seized an egg, and sailed :! to the
woods with it. Tiie crow's .boldness
pleased Mr. Hanor, ami the next day h
stayed around to see if the gunning black
bird would come after another ej'
When it eot to be near Biddy's regular
laying hour that morning, a crow
alighted in the pine tree and began to
peer down into the mass of 'weeds. For
twenty minutes it sat o a its perdi iu si
lence; picked its plumage, an I kept one
eye on the nest. The hen sooa ejtekled,
and immediately the crow settle I down
into the weeds, stayed there a second,
ami then arose and winged its way to
the woodland with Biddy's egg in its
bill.
On the following morning the crow
was on the pipe tree agaiu. It dived
toward the nest as soon as the hen had
begun to cackle, and this time its move
ments were ob-erved by a pair of wreus
that had a nest in a box clo?e by. The
presence of the crow ungere 1 the little
birds, aud they both pitched at it, just
, ;t nrna4 fPrtnl .. .vt.,u with th
fresh-laid egg. The wrens darted at the
cr0w's head, and the crow dropped the
egg before it had reached the height of
thft barn, rave smwll nrtwnanil m4lo
for the woods. The spunky little birds
chased the crow to the e dge of the for-
where they gave up the attack, aud
sailed homeward, singing a song of tri-
uaiph all the way. Since then tli3 black
egg thief ha? not beju sejn oa the pine
tree, and Mr. Hauor has found an egg in
Biddy's nest every day. Xtio York Sin.
Milk Stations in a Chilean City.
One of the oddities of the to.vn. says
Fannie B. Ward, in a letter from Sin-

Antiquity of Writing.
It would appear" that Palestine, or at
ill t-veiits the tribe immediately sur
xAiudmg it, were in cloe contact with
t civilir.od po-ver which had established
rale-route' from the south, and pro
'.ected them fu:n the attacks of the no
lia l Bedoum. The part mw performed,
r suppoe 1 to be performed, by Tur-
oi, w;is ptrfo'iiied before the days oi J
ijlomo.i by the prince and merchants
if Ma'm. A rcuclusior: of unexjK'ctetl
ntere.-t follows this discover". The
Miiaems were a- literary people; they
lsed an alphalK-th- system of writing,
tnd set up their inscription, not only iu
:heir southern home, but also in their .
:ohuiies in the north. If their record
aally mount back to the age now claimed
'or them and it is. difficult to sec where
counter arguments are to come from
d.ey wiil be far older than the oldest
iuown inscription in Phu aieian letters,
instead of deriving the Minaan alphabet
rom the Phomician, we must derive tiie
Phtruician alphabet from the Minrean or
from one of the Arabian alphabets ol
.vhieh the Mini-tn was th mother; in
4iad of seeking in Pmruicii the pritni
ivc home of t'ti" alphabets of our m'od
tn world, we shall have to look fur it
n Arabia. Canon Isaac Tayhu, in hi
"ilUtory of the Alphabet.' had already
found himself compelled by pa'ue vgraph
,c evidence to as-dgn a much earlier
late ti the alphatiet ot South Arabia
.ban thiit which had previously been
tscribed to it, and th; discoveries of
C. laser and Ilommcd show that he v&
right. The discovery of the anthjuity
f writing among the populations o'
Arabia cannot fail to influence the views
that have been c urrent of late years iu re
gard to the rat Iter history of the Old
Testament. We have hitherto taken it
for granted I hat the tribes to w hom the
Israelites were related were illiterate no
mads, aud that in Midian or Bdm the
invaders of Palestine uouhi have had no
opportunity for miking aeipiaintanct
with bookCsj'td written recur is. Before
the time ofy Samuel and Dtvid it has
been strenuously maintaiuel that letters
were unkuown in Israel, but such ass
sumptions mu-d now be considerably
motlitied. The ancient Oriental world,
even in northern Arabia, was .a fur mort
literary one than we have been siccus
toiued to imagine; and as for Canaan,
the country in which the I-raeli!es set- .
tied, fought and iatei iuai i ie J, we now
have cvidcu-"e that education was carried
in it to a surprisiugly high point. In
the principal citi'? of Palestine an active
literary correspondence wasiot only car
ried on, but was m.tiutaiiie 1 by means of
a foreign language aud an extremely
complicated script. There must hnvo
