" It was talked ahout wnen you wen in your cradles, dear, and even then there was a jesting argument that whei. you two ?rew up you should I married And surely you might do worse than iu:irry Mr. Allen Trevor." Nurse Glenson, who was just like mother to motherless Nellie Huntley finished pouring the jelly she was ruak ing into a gorgeous mold, untied her while cup-strings and taking off her spectacles ruMierl thrm energetically. "And now, Miss Nellie, do get down from that ts.bie there's a dear child ;ind go dtTss for the company. Youi fit her will he wuitinjr, and right angrj he'll be. too. Come, dearie." "No. I won't!" Tbe diminutive figure, perched uprr lh(! kitchen table, swung its little slip p ucd feet buck and forth, and pustiint ii oud of yellow hair from a rosy face, looked up in'.o the honest countcnanci id ihotold woman with a pair of mis- 'Ui(vuus eyes. "No, nurM' that's a darling don't aki; mo go. I've been shut up in that horrid boarding-school for two yiirs iaw that I'm huiuefor gtod, don't nuiki a ni'ii t vr of me, I can't bear it imleci I r.'tn't. A ml I won't!'' she added, sott voce. "lkut, Miss Nellie." continued tin nond woman, a smile beginning to cm' :irounul the-corners t.f hir mouth ii spike of l'r til or Is to look grave, "yon forget that jou'ie a yourg lady now sfrvenleen, remember and since yon imordi-ar mother died, you, nsthconlj child, are expected to till lier place, ant! .ii"ist your papa in his hospitality. S truttvy nico g ntlniH n, too, dear, anil Mi. Allen Trevor among the rest." "I liate him. Bnh! Lot old Miss Kenshawe take my place. She's my chaperonc, and it's her duty. Besides, I'm sick, and don't ie 1 like going near the drawing room to-r.y. It's a l:e;i niiier down here with jou, nursic, than in he iii'ting prim nnd s ill" upstairs: not allowed fi r a moment to forfic, lo-ilion, f.iiui'v, nld all llint stufl. here !"

Shu paused in Ironlol a mold of jelly clear and tianspannt and, arming herself with a spoon, confiscated a gcr.rrous portion. "(Jueen in the kitchen, eating bread and lioney !" she sung, gajly. She turned suddeily as she spoke, nnd with a dexterous movement flirted the white cap from the decorous old woman a head, and pi relied it lightly upon her own. Then s izing the spec tac'cs, she placed thi iu upon her own straight and ralherdiminutivenose, and then, deaf to Nurse Clcnson's remon strances, ahe folded her arms sedately tipin her hosom and walked toward the door, just rs it opi ned from with o'tl and a tall fe rn stood upon the threshold -Mr. Allen Trevor! "I lg "ur pnn'nn," he began, h'lslily. " f.ike l'nul Try, 'I hope I don't intrui'eP'" " No," n aponded Nellie, saucily, and a trifle coolly, "not anymore than lie did." A flush shot anoss the clear, dark Miei ks oi ti e inli ihIi -. lie replaced the hat which he had dnflcd, and, with a low bow, disiip pcired . " Miss Nellie Huntley, I've a mind to be. downright ancry with you!" ex claimed Nurse (iie.ison, as the dooi closed. "The vi ry nicest young man in the country, and the oni your pap: wishes you to be (spe-. luii' gra.'ioti to' "Tln'"s in-! i: iniisli-: I don't iik nice young men. Tin y nre so prim anil stiff, and goody. A man must be gu and dashing, brave and chivalrous to wint my esteem. I'm in c.mc?t, I as suro you, and I shall never marry i. man who has not provi d his woithines. by some deed of daring something t, establish his cKim to thu title ol man hood. In short, lr. must be a hero, anil accomplish something iiob ijcfore 1 could care a, pic.ij'ii: i'ur hi in. Dh' Allen Trevor ever io a brave deed' Uso, the world has kept vtry silent ror ccrning it, or his nohie actions nui.-i havq been performed in darkness, am have never yet been illuminated, m eliminated cither. She paused to draw a long breath, am restore the old woman 'scan to its liyiii mate resting-place. Had she not hei i thus preoccupied, her quick eyes might have caught a eiinijne through th wide-open window of a tall form and . dark, handsome face, whose owner hai paused to light a cigar, and had ovci heard every word the liltl witeh hai uttered. Allen Trevor smiled to himi If queer little smile it was, too, and mean- vtdumes and, pulling i isun-ly at In cigar, strolled away. A few days afterward a party set oiil from Huntley l'lacc for the purpose o: passing the day among some old ruins, which were considered picturesque, aim quite the thing for excursionists " li do." They were going on horsehtek. and a merry tiu e was anticipated. They reached the ancient ruins, found thou "all that fancy painted tli'in,' strolled around thu garden eonm cte.' with the old buildings, played croqiii i and flirted, and finally s it down to dii. ner, ahout as contented a patty as on- would wish to see. During the whole day Nellie's fat lur had endeavored to bring tho youni; couple together, an intention which tip young lady immediately divined and un derstood, and straightway Mr. 1 1 tint icy had his hands full. 'When a woman will, she will, you may depend on it." And every unap preciated and apparently innocent efl'ort on the part of Mr. Huntley only madi the demure maiden shun Mr. Trevor the more. As I was saying, the party were sit ting at dinner, an improvised tabic laden with good things. In the midst of merry laughter and gay badinage, a low rumbling noise fell upon their ears, followed by a loud crash. All sprang to their feet in an instant, tho ladies pale and trembling the men somewhat startled. "What is it?" Nellie's face was pallid as she asked the question. Without a word Allen Trevor sprang upon his horse and rode away in the direction of the sound, fol lowed by a number of the gentlemen. In a short time a horseman: was seen returning, galloping like mad toward them. It was Mr. Huntley. lie threw himsell from his paiiiini: horse, and hur ried forward, pale ami agitated. 'It is in the coal mine over there!" he cried, hurriedly. "There has heen an explosion; a portion of the shaft has fallen in, and nobody knows how many are buried alive there." A scene of excitement followed the dreadful announcement. Some ot the ladies fainted all were terrified. but Nel lie Huntley stood quiet and outwardly calm. When her father had finished, she laid one small hand on his arm. " Get my horse, please, papa.shesnid. " I want to go there. 1 may be of some assistance." "Are you crazy, child? You must n't think of such a thing." " Yes, I know all that, pnpa, I'm not going to think ahout it I'm going right at once. Miss liensliawe and some ot the ladies will accompany me, I am sure." Who would havo believed it of those gay ladies of fasl.ioti and frivolity? Not one forsook our littl" maiden in hei humane err nd. Tin- orc- were has tily saddled and they set "ll at oiee. Arriving at the scot they found a ter liine scene of exeifnu lit. A crowd had collected around the shait. There wire women crjingand wringing then hands; women on tlieir knees beseech in ir Heaven for mercy on '.he denr ones shut out from their eyes by that awful hank of earth. There were men stand ing sullen and gloomy, with arms folded on their breasts, an d in their faces fiim lespair, while the very air seemed henvy with groans, and sobs, and ejaculation. As our party approached, a lull fell on the tempest of grief -something goinj on a group had gathered around a tall form, and were begging and expostulat ing. It was Allen Trevc.r. Nellie's heart B'ood still as she heard his words, in a firm, clear tone : "Do not try to dissuade me. I am convinced that there ii hope, and if you assist me I may save some life. There is an opening sufficiently large for one man to descend with a rope." Before Nellie could approach him, he had hastened to the pit, the necessary preparation was made, and he had dis appeared from sk'ht in the bowels of i he earth. With a horrible ft cling at her heart, Ncliie sank upon her knees. She dared not pray. She knew that nt any moment the hank of earth, stayed in its progress, might easily become de tached (the slightest jar would do it), and would bury tin; mouth of the shaft from view. Tins was the awful fear that filled the hearts of all gathered there. It seemed hours ages that she knelt there mutely imploring he-ven's mercy. At last a wild shout pealed upon the air, the rope was pulled from below, as though a weight was attached to it, Sbwly they dri w it up. and so one man was a vel In a lew w r.U he explained t lie case. The luiiu rJ WiT" all disabled, and must certainly havn perished but for the superhuman efforts of Allen Trevor, who. hmrinfr euch man In his strt 'ic MM!-; to win re the pq was wailing, proposed to last-n it to their bodies, and so they wou.d be rescued. I (al;l!il teil jou in detail ol" that her.iic ili i d. One after another of the miners was brought to the surface, some bruised nnd bleeding, and some dying. A U wi re received by our party, and kindly and tenderly ministered to. At last there came a moment if N'eiiie should live to sen the r.txt cen tennial .-lie will mvtr forget that mo ni' iit when the las: man was snfe'y landed, and the rope ciiuetip al.me. At that iiiHlant a low, x umbiing sound was plainly uuilible; Nel.ii bo-.vi.l her heal "Oh. my (iod. what shall I do?" she wailed, then, with sudden desperation, she sprang forward. " Lower the rope once more!" she cried. In her heart she had determined "if he does not conm up this tiiii", I shall go down there myself. At least we can di to ri tin r." With deferential gianees at the vnunu liiri, tin' men. oli. jed I er mandate, while the othcH s(,,il near, awid and lent. Sin in:: upon her knre, Nellie waited in awfui yuspem lor that which was to come. The nvc dcsccndid: i' dangled loosely for : time, theti there came a feeble puli. With loud cheir of encouragement, the men above drew it slowly upward. Oh. the agony b the waiting heart, which now for the lirst time was unvaih d, for Nellie knew, beyond doubting, that she loved Allm Trevor. At last nt last lb" end of the rope, and lastemd to it, p-il'id and nearly life iess, t'ie form of the brave man who had so nobly ri.-kid his life. Risked i: in behalf of the rough and uncouth men, who, as the death-while face ol their preset vi r appeared above theawlul chasm, rushed forward, and wounded and bleeding its they were, lifted him ii their arnri, and hnre him away triumph ant. They would not lose sight of him. They horered around and waited fm his eyes to open, that they might grasp his hands, and pour forth their wild ryu! incoherent gratitude. Last of all came a white-faced gin. agitated and worn with suffering. Slu knelt by the side of the brave man, ami laid both her hands in his. And so Nellie found her hero after all. Committing- Arson for Love. A curious ease recently came before ,hc court at Versailles, in Fiance. Pur ng many weeks the newspapers t I'aris gave information of repented ires in the rour.nunc of Auvers. They ere evidently the work of incendiaries, ind the toiicc wire set diligently to A-ork to find the crimina s.

A Successful Female Detectiye. for the past three months Nellie Mc Phearson, who has for some time been in the employ of the St. Joseph detcc live agency, has trnveled through the West and Northwest on business con nected with the agency here, nnd her success as a " spotter " shows her to be a remarkably shrewd woman. She is about thirty-two years old, tall and slender, with i.ark hair, piercing black e: i and altogether very stylish ami attractive Her latest exploit termin ated in Chicago, a day or two ago, when sho succeeded in getting the clinchers on one of the deepest-dyed villains in tho West, and the leader and accomplice of a gang of counterfeiters which havi infested this section for the past two years. Some months since the managers o' the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe. the Chicago, U' ck Island and I'.n ific, t'e Chicago nnd Northern railroads becnim cognizant of the fact that a .;nal man bogus local tickets had bu nutation along their lims, and on apj.li cation Detective Murray, of Chicago was au thorized to work up t he job. and. it pos sible, bring the guilty partis to justice. Hit reported from time to time that no falisfactoiy trail of the counterfcitei could be struck, and finally Nellie Me 1'hearson was delegated to assist him ii the work. From lie outset she wa suspicious of the deiective himself, am. for three months she watched him lil, a hawk, though pretending to fall de pcratcly in love wiih him, and nion than Mixious that they should succeed in their undertaking, in order that they miu'lil raise a " stake," act married an! settle down. Sharp as he was the wo man fooled him. Last week the two spent several days in St. Joseph, aw. while Murray was " working " certait parts of the city, or pretending to hi lather, Nellie was closeted in theotlid of her employers reporting progress, which to sav the least was anything but favorable to the " detective "hei pretended lover, Mr. Murray. From St Joseph they went to Chicago, whei'. a few days' secret investigation place! her in possession of a perfect whirlwind of evidence, and convinced her that "Detective" Murray wa the very man who had set afloat the bogus railroad tickets. Then she set the trap, gave the detective an official surprise in b! room at the hotel, and as a result b now plays checkers with his nose in a Chicago jail. S. Josfyh (Mo.) A'ckv- Electricity in Flour Making. In olden times it was " nothing like leather.'' Now it seem to be nothing like electricity. Electricity is rapidly it does everything rapidly becoming a most useful servant. The latest thing it has been asked to do is to prepare our bread for us. In most colleges there is an experiment done before the stu dents to show one of the manifesta tions of electricity. A couple of hook nre laid on the table a foot oi so apart. They are to support a pane ol glass twj or three inches from the table On the table, under the glass, is sprinkled some, bran. The glass i heated, and on being rubbd vigor ously on the uppi side with a piece oi flannel the bran nances un and down on the table, the linhter particles adhering to the elect i it'n d glass. Perhaps it was this cxpciimi'lit that induced a 1 a.r junior U think of making cWiricity or the work of middling puiiiler hi a flour mill. Instead of the bran lielm: sep arated from the middling- and tim flotti by an air blast, elceli icily is employed. The bolting cloth is of wire, i.nd over it are several hard rubber cylinders which revolve slow iy. A they revolve they rut) ag tiwM pieces of sheepskin and gen irate electricity. The bolting cloth has a vibratory motion which causes the bran to xvor' to the top of the mass ol ground wheat a il llo .vsovcr the c.oth. The rubber roVers at'M't the bran. When a sufficient qua,.ti'y of the bran has been alt.aeteil it fails off tbe rollrrs into receiving tronghs. and is carrici' away. The bolted flours pours out from another part of the machine, and 'Jie "tailings" oppo-ite. I'nder the icw proee there is no dust raised, and when the terrific explosion of milling dust at the Washburn mills, in Minne apolis, a few months ago, is remem bered, this will be seen to be no small Hilvan'age. The invention is now being npplied to a Minnesota mill. Detroit Free Press. Tho SI. Cot hard Tunnel. A Vienna eorrenpondent writing ahout the St. Got hard tunnel says: Those who went into the tunnel before it w as entirely pii rci d nil tell of tlieir delight, in having got out of it again unscathed. It snms t1 nt ihe heat, the bad smell, Ihe mud and the noise of the machines were simply unbearable. Of the work-people one-third were nlways on the sickbed, and great numbers of the horses fell a fai a ifn e to the difficul ties that bad to be contended with. A great deal, it is true, still remains to be done, but from the moment the open ing was made by dynamite air be gan to pas through the tunnel. and although it may not yet be the most healthy place, still it will be sup- rcrtahle. The calculations of the engineers were right to two meters, the length of the ttumi l being 14,018 meters i.istead of 11 20 as they had calculated. When the opening was made every one stood awe-struck, and an Italian, Angelo Chiesa, was the first who passed to the other side. The trains will take a little more than hn;f an hour to jiass through the tunnel. ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST. There is more fashion in the city, bul lore stiles in the country.
