A Letter That Came at Last
!
11 V MAIIV KVI.K DALLAS. j
j
Rcgma lvtLnseii, having listened to '
t he postman's whittle coining up the'
1 t .
street, and hearing his step leave the I
.ext pavement,;suddenly slipped her feet ,
1 o
do wn the stairs between her bedroom and
the lo.er hal! in her stockings', holding
her robe so that. uosound of its flounces
might be heard against the balustrade.
"I heard him say he would write to. her,"
she whispered, between her white teeth,
a gleam of jealousy in her iarge, black
eyes, and a frown upon her orow which
spoiled her face, regular as were its fea
tures. "I heard him, and I will kBtow
what he writes I will know."
Bending over the letter-box, she stoo l
waiting listening.
The postman's step advanced, his
whistle soiinded, letters dropped iuto
the box, and he was ott again.
The next instant, whatever he had
left was iu M.iss liamsen's hand, iu her
pocket, ami slie was running up stairs
again .
Half-way up 'she met another girl a
young thiug of seventeen, with flaxen
hair, blue eyes, slender waist, Jips like
jacque roses, and a skin of that pure,
healthy, creamy tint, more beautiful
than the highest color.
"I heard the postman, llegina," she
said, with a laugh.
4iSo did I, liessie," replie I the bru
nette, "but there is no letter iu the
box."
"Oh, I am sure he whistled here,"
Bessie answered, aud went im and peeped j
into the box. ' ,
She returned disappointed.
"He said he would write" she whis
pered to herself 'he said he would
write."
Her chin quivered with disappoint
ment, her eyes grew heavy. She would
not cry, but she greatly desired to do
so.
"Ah, well, there are more mails to-
day," she said, and settled down to her
sewin" work for her Cousiu Retina
Rp.rina was alwavs having new dresses
- j r-
made. Poor little Bessie, the poor re
lation of the family, was seldom with
out a needle in her hand iu consequence.
It was-.very rarely that she had a new
dress of her own.
Happily sh-3 was so fresh and pretty,
that the simple llUie frocks that were
now ami then given her, muslins bought
by her aunt a? bargaiu counters, or cheap
woolens selling nt? out of season, wer
all becoming.
Regina, with her grand air, had sotue-
Vimes condescended to tell her so in the
first davs of her presence iu the' Remsen
residence, but of late, to the astonish
ment of the stately cousin and the stout
aunt, others had observed the fact.
Roy King, who was uot only the most
eligible match in the Kemssa social-,
circle, but a very charming fellow beside, j
had been altogether too attentive to poor j
little Bessie of late. j
They had lingered oa the balcony to
gether, and Regina had heard a whisper,
whicli lu I se: h r to watching th3 letter
box a.s we have seen.
Now behind her locked door, she held
ia her hand the proof that she was not
mistaken. A' letter on the paper Roy
alwavs used, and bearing his seal, aa-
dressed to -Mis. Bessie Benton." ,
For a moa.cat Regina held it ia her
hand and hesitated.
One may go to,

argued that no one would ever know.
That ail was fair in love and war.

her here. Aud if she is casting her nets
for him, I uiuit know it." Then -she
cut the edge of the letter very carefuliy
with a tiny, peasi-haa Jled knife, an!
the letter lay open before her. She read:
"Deap. BEssit May I cill vou so? I

Kegina read thi3 letter twice, flashing
with wrath as she did so.
, aen thrusting it in her pocket again, !
she tiew across the hall to her mother's
room, and shutting the door, locked it
behind her, much to that lady's, aston

Here liegina threw herself on the sofa
and burst into tears.
"I am so fond of him, and he is so
rich, and i'm so bitterly disappointed."
"Perhaps it is all your imagination,
Regina,"' said Mrs. Ramseu. "How did
you learn all that?" . 1
"Vou had better not aski questions
about that, mamma," liegina auswered ;
"please accept it as a fact, and tell me
how to prevent Roy King from seeing
Bessie next Thursday. 7
"My dear, Bessie shall not see him
here next Thursday," said Mrs. Ramsen,
stepping bacic to get a better view of
the new frizette. "I'iinauage that."
That very evening she called Bessie
into her room and thus addressed her:
"My dear child, you h ive been here
for neatly six months, and I suppose
you are tired of being idle."
"Idle!" Bessie thought, remembering
that she had played the part -of seam
stress, chambermaid and errand-girl,
without thanks or wages.
But she said nothing.
-."And of course I've been looking out
for you.'' Mrs. Ramsen went bu, "and
you have quite a talent for dressmaking,
aud Madame Fleure wants a young lady
---some intelligent person who can speak
French, as you can and she'll give
board and a couple ot dollars a week at
first, and you'd better go to her; iu fact,
I've written that you would." I'll take

"1 understand," said B.'.ssie. "I
shan't claim relationship, and I a.u very
glad to be independent."
There was some scorn, in her tone, but
the haughty lady who listened Mid not
perceive it; and meanwhile Bessie was
saying to herseif :
"Roy King has not written. If he.
was not iu ecrnjst, and was only flirting
with the little poor relation of the house,
I ahall be glad to get away."
As she packed her trunk a few tears
fell upon its slender couteuts. It, seemed
so hard to think that no one lovy.l her,
v that they were glad to get rid of her,
but she went away uv.t moruiug cheer
fully. "I sat up nearly all night to finish ycur
lace cape, liegina," she said, on parting
from her cousiu. "I hope you'll like it.

hoping to hud a letter from Uoy. What ! tishVrmeu as a.' peeler," a "shtdder,"
a i. ream it all' seemed.- She thought of
it us she sat alone iu the work room,
snipping the stitches.
A letter never cauie,uyver would come
now, aud suddenly, as though fairy-tales
were true, there lay -a letter iu her lap.
The dainty envelope she hal dreamed
of, her name iu Roy's hand, his seal
U0!1 it.
"Am I crazy ?" she cried. Then she
recognized the fact that the envelope
had fallen from the packet of Regima's
dress, and that it had beeu opened, and
trembling with excitement, she read it
through, kissed it, and hid it in her
bosom.
"How cruel of her!" she sobbed.
"She had it in her pocket when I passed
her on the stairs; I know it now, but
Satau has deserted her, aud she has left
it here for me to find. And at last I can

It was hard to sit still aud rip Regina's
dress after that. But she did it, and
only when her task was done did she sit
down to answer her letter.
She told Roy nothiug of Uegiua's con
duct, and only said that she wished to
explain that by accident -she had only re
ceived his note that day.
Bat Roy understood the situation.
And so, iu a few Jiours, he was at her
side whispering words that made her
very happy.
And before many weeks were over,
Regina, opening a delicate envelope that
had just, been dropped into the post box,
uttered a loud, angry "cry, and tossed
the cards that it contained toward her
mother.

It is only about tiftceu tars since the !
business of takin-g soft shelled crbs aud i
crabs about to she I, f.ir the pnepse of I
shipping them to the lig viti- in l.-irge j
quantities, was (irt begun on the Cues, j
peake by certain enterprising men who

whoscshell has begun to crack iu th"
processed moulting, while a "coiner,' a
"long comer," or a "short comer," is
preparing to cast the shell, which has
loosened, but is not yet split.
li'pon this phenomenon of moulting
the, crab tishermen of the Chesapeake
chiefly depend for their lAea 1 and bat
ter. Inasmuch as Mr. .Crab wears hi
skeleton on his outside, . instead of in
side, as is usual with auiinals, he must
get out of it at intervals in order do imw
bigger. When he is young aud develop
ing rapidly he casts his shell every few
weeks. Later on the necessity for sac
rificing his armor comes less often, anl
fma'.ly, ,wdien he has attained his full
grow;h, .he gets no more suits of clodics.
In fact, like many elderly people who
walk on two legs, he seems to consider
that it is no longer worth his while to
pay any attention to his apparel, being
content to go around w ith a rusty-looking
coat, ou which seaweeds and variou
tuollusca grow. But, when young, what
is more beautiful than this knight in his.
suit of mail, full-armed and tierce for
battle, with' claws of , a blue that rivals
the sky, and tipped with blood-re i at
each defensive point?
For obvious. reasons it is very difficult
for the tishermen to secure their crabs at
once upon the shedding of their shells,
!
and so the device is adopted of gather
ing in those which are about to "peel
by the quantity and keeping theai iu
"floats" until they moult. These floats
are floating travs twenty feet long, live
feet wide aud 'fifteen inches deep, fenced
around the edges to prevent the pris m
ers from getting- awav. On- of them i
will hold :'J0 or 400 crabs, and 'they are i
visited three or four times daily for th" j
purpose of removing those which have j
shed. No time is to bj,h-t, bee itise a ;
