All the summer ho hud idled away iu her company hern and Roso Nurro savV; and ho was conscious that neither of tho girls could guess which he liked tho best; or, indeed, whether thero was any moro than simple, friendly liking in tho matter ; at least, Gun hoped bo. He hoped that ho had not made lovo to both. Rut then Gus was conscious enough of his powers of fascination, and both wero bo pretty, so Bweet, so lovable. Only at last ho knew for certain that he loved Hetty. Thin was what he had to say; this was what ho could uot Bay, be causo ho cutild never find Hetty alone. Now ho had come for the last time, anil hail b;nt over Hetty, and softly whispered : "Come out upon tho porch with me, Misn Homer, won't you ?"' And Hetty had said: "Come, Hose," and ho had mentally j initiated, "Confound R).se,"und had sauntered out as amiably and gallantly as though tho arrangomcnt delighted him. No chanco all the evning, not one. At Inst, as t lie clock struck ten, (ins grew desperate. He sauntered to iho mantel, and with his pencil scribbled a tVw lins on a leaf of his pocket book, mi I looking about him, saw Hetty's gloves lying on a table. He knew them to be Hetty's, for hercolor was lavender ; Hose's always lemon. Ry and by, no one looking that way, ho slipped his bit of paper into tho palm of the right-hand glove, and rolled tho left over it. At least, who must liud that when sho put on the gloves. "(toud-by," ho said, a few minutes after. "(toml -by," wild every one. Then (ins was on ne. I'oor (Jus! "I hope he'll bo successful," said old (' iptaiu R .jiimr. "Anil steady," said Aunt Abigail. "I'm going home," mid II use, nfler It while- Where are my thing? No, don't light a lamp. I've pit them h.it (.haul and gloves. Gjod-by all." I it t Ilvtty walked to the gulden gate with her, and watched her tiip down the lane iu the moonlight. She staid t hero listening to the eiicket's chirp, and looking at the moon. "lle'H ho iiie.-,'' sho sighed, "an I pel haps wo inav never bee him again. 1 , under ' Rut hhe did not say what the wou dcio 1, At last she went iu. A lamp was lit. The big: Hiblc was open. 'We are wailing players fur you," said old Captain Romcr, a little steru- The mother to-scd 1i,t a pair of gloves. "Either Rov.i his worn yours or mine," she said. "Tluno are hers." "Shu has mine," s aid Hetty. "It don't matter." Then they had prayers and wont to bed, but th; missing gloves were tho last thing on Hetty's mind. Hut II ise thought of nothing else. She had taken tho gloves unwittingly and had not put tliem on at all, but iu her own room bhe had discovered her mistake. "Hetty's not mine," she th:. light, and htonped to pick the piece of paper that fluttered from between them from the ground. She haw Gus Val ley 'b inline. Then her face flushed. Bud she rend this eagerly uud nil giil.v: Dear Hetty Yes, d.arer to me than all tho world bibido, and I can liud no chance to tell you so. You are never iilone. 1 am going awav and Heaven knows when I shall re turn or how. 1 do not seek to bind you by any promise to share mi -h a donhtfnl future, but if 1 prosper it I succeed, you will share hie with me? Dear Hetty, can you givo me that hope will you, if you can liko me well enough, send mo one little line just your name if nothing more, or 'Yea' anything but 'No.' Forgive this scrawling. It does not express half that I would say. "Yours while I live, Augustus Vurley." "And I thought he was in lovo with me," said Hose, and iu ra;;o tore the paper in atoms. ".She ah. ill never hear of it, iloc'itltil little wretch!" Tho next morning Hetty brought over her glove. "And havo you mine?" she asked. Boso gave her buck the gloves, not looking at hor, aud half expected to hear tho love-letter asked for next ; but Hetty was ignoraut of tho letter, ahd there tho matter cudud. Gus, having no answer, took his re fusal Utterly and turned his buck ou tho village forever, glow cynical on tho subject of women, refused their society and became addicted to cigars and solitude. Rose, jealous for a while, soon found a new admirer and married him. Hetty alouo remained tin changed. Five years passed six, nearly seven. Gus becanio rich. Ho lived in luxury. Tho fact that ho hatod women was his only drawback. Aud so, going with her husband to New York, Hose now Mrs. Muller Haw mid heard of him. Sho was very happy and she Luow that Hetty was less blest than she. She was not really bad and her heart smote her, Had sho parted two true lovers! Then she assured hers.df that Gus would have followed up tho thing had ho really loved Hetty, ami that Hetty never eared for Gus. Aud so went home. Her first guest was Hetty Romcr, Roso never mentioned Gus; but her husband, blaudly ignorant of all, burst out with a full account of him forth with: "A fellow who left hero without a penny rolling in gold living lik what's hisuitmciu the Arabian Night-, you know and as splendid a man us 1 ever saw. Hates women, (hough. Has a house full of men servants and a cook from Paris " And so rattled on, never hecdiu Hetty's palo face, though R jsc saw it. Soon Hetty, who had como for a visit, escaped to her own room ; but iViso followed. She found Hetty in tears, aud took her iu her arms. "Tell mo all, my dear," bho said, And Hetty made confession. "It is so foolish. I was only 17 then ; but but I loved him, and I never have forgotten him. That why I never could think of anvone else, Hose. No one knows it, not even uianiiiri. Rut tint talk about him was too much forma. I 1 thought he liked me, R se. " "So ho did," baid R ise, "No, else he would h ivo told mo so. " Just for ono moment Rose thought of telling tho truth. Rut caution over came impulse. "Strange things happen in thi world," she said. "Who knows? You are both young still. Good-night, love!" Then bho went away -not to sleep, but to write. "Sir," sho wrote: "Years a; you made n proposition ol marriage to Hetty Romcr. Perhaps von would like to know sho never lead the note. It was destroyed by one who blnshc to own the net. Sho would have iiii-wered yes, had it ever reached her. 'A word to th'.- wise is sullieieiit. ' She lives here still, aud is not engaged." S!ie copied the untu iu hack-hand, addressed it to Augustus Varlev-, and the next morning bhe posted it. Three days after, tins cime down to the vil lage and went to sue Hetiy. What they said, we can only guess by the fact that, at purling, he kissed her. He had spoken just once of the past. "You remember tho night of my de parture?" "Yes." sho said. Did auyoiio have your gloves that night ?" "What an odd question!" she baid. ".My gloves! Yes, Rose Nurrowuy woro them home by mistake. Why ?" "No matter why," ho said. "Per haps I'll tell you smuo time, and then he kissed her again; his iut call was on Rote. Sho was alone all but tho baby, raid that counted for nothing. He came straight to tho point. "You wrote to me," he taid. "I!" she cried. "Dear, no." "You wore Hetty's gloves that night." Rose blushed. "Have you told her?" sho said. "No, not yet." Sho put her hand on his arm. "I've dono you a good turn," she said, "an I don't dj mo a bad one. I'm fond of Hetty, I don't want to ruarrel with her, and it was so mean." " Tell mo why you did it," ho asked. Just ft moment she looked into his eyes, then burst into a luu ;h. "I needn't mind now, with my good, handsome husband, and theso chil dren. 1 was j uilous, (ins, uud thought the letter ought to have been addressed to me. Come, you'll not make mis chief between Hetty und me." "Never." An. I he kept his promise, and, until this day, Mrs. Augustus Varlev does u d guess why her Iiusban I was so serioiiB about her old gloves. New York News. Capture of a Freak FIsV. Tho queer freuk of tho sea enpturod by Italian fishermen near (lout Islaud Oakland, CVJ. , which has been on ex hibition, hm been purchased by tho Academy of Sciences and shipped to Han Francisco. J. H. W. Riley, a stenographer iu the Superior Court, who is an ichthy ological expert, made an inspection of tho lish recently, then ho con suited his books and anuuuucc 1 that it was a fos-shiirk a creuturo very rare on tho coast. "I have iiuidj a close examination," said Mr. Riley, "aud I am certain that the lish is of that elms known as fox shark or thresher. I will givo you the correct designation of it from my uuthority: Fox shark, or thresher, also called Bwingle-tuil, sea fox, sea ape. It lunges from Capo Cod to Florida. Mitchell describes it as a long-tailed shark, his specimen, being tuirteen feet in length. Do Kay do scribes it as tho thresher shark, mid says: 'Tho species has been noticed on our coast from Nova Seotin to New York. Storer record it as the same and puts tho length at from 12 to 13 feet. Wo have heard of one being caught at Nahnnt which meas ured 20 feet. It is frequently caught in seines iu Mmsachusetts liny. Tin; tail of this speeies is fully on;-hulf of the total length.' "I have no doubt," continued Mr. Riley, "that it is a fox shark. It it certainly a curiosity on this coast, and I have never heard of another being captured. I am glad that tho Academy of Sciences has secured it, for the reason that it wil be a valu able curiosity. This ono is not ipiito as largo as those described, for it measures only eleven feet. Rut then that is a pretty catch for a lUhcrniau in the Ray of Sin Francisco. Thoie fox sharks are good lighters with their tails, w hich is their only means of de fence. They go into a school of small lish and switch their tails with great rapidity and force, killing and stun ning many of their victims, and in this manner they secure their food." Portland 'rcgouiitn. ( i owning .Vbuii'Mit of a Ships Career, A successful launch of a largo ves sel has been called the crowning mo ment of a ship builder's career. S uuo oue has said also that a launch is tho most delicate part of tho ship builder's Work. It is very difficult to Buy what is the nwl delicate part of ship build ing, for the simple rca-oii that there doesn't seem to beany part of it that isn't delicate. No more complex ma chinery is made than tho wonderful murine engine; no more carefully de signed structure exists than the sail of of a modern steam. -.hip. A lauuch is as much a matter of mathematics as any part of the wolk of building u ship, and pel h ips it is because launches are always inspiring that they have been called the crowning occasions of ship building. It is only since the Cnited Slates began to build a new navy that wo have hud launches of large vessel iu this eoiiutiy. We have built so many lire warships that it was not unusually dtllioult for us to build merchant ves sels of the first grade, and we huvo jn.it liui.-hed two ships next iu size to the two largest ships that are afloat iu the world. Ruibliug theso ships was a great achievement, however, and heueo tho ceremony of putting them into tho water from dry laud attracted great attention throughout the conutry.ati 1 was attended iu each oaso by thou. sands of spectators. They saw tho picturesque side of each of these events. They saw tho foam as the christening bottle of wine was broken upon the bow. They heard the cheers and shouts and helped to make them. They waved their hats and handkerchiefs us the ship begun to glide down into tho water, and each man almost held his breath uuVl he saw her safe iu tho stream ac- kuowledging tho plaudits of tho mul titude by making a graceful bow.

At least the buy leaders of the Junior no doubt no something about Shanghai chicken, and what long legs they have. They are born so and their legs continue to grow into reg ular drumsticks of the longest dimen sions. It is said Hint although very good layers, they are very fond of de vouring their own eggs, A farmer who has tried them and found them wanting gives the following account of their p; culinrilii s. Their true name, he says, is "Shank-high," and he pronounces them to bo lightly name. "They have no body at oil, uud when the head is cut oil' tho legs come apart. I don't seo how they can set ou their legs my jack knife can stand as well us they can, "They don't s i on tho roost the Bamo as other cl iekens do ; not a bit of it. When they attempt to sit ou their chickens, they fall off back wards. "They sit when they cat, I know, for 1'vo seen 'em do it. And I've seen 'em try to eat stauding,but they couldn't fetch it ; for when they peck ill a nil u of coin on the ground, tin y don't more than half reach it, but their hen I bobs right between their lees and makes them turn a complete Somerset, 'I'd as soon set a pair of toiigs or compasses walking about my yard as these shunkhighs. "They crow, too,a long time before day, when it isn't day. Probably be cause their legs are so long that they can see daylight long before a common chicken can." Atlanta Constitution, M'ul'AUI'S AS PEf.-i. Sir Samuel Raker, in his recent book, gives some excellent advice to those a Iveiilurous people who en deavor to make pets of wild beasts, es pecially of sueh animals us tigers and leopard '. Although the cubs of leopards are charming playthings and exhibit much intelligence und appaieut affection, it is a great mistake, he nays, to adopt such companions, for their hereditary instincts are certain to become devel oped iu t'u! I grow n life an 1 lead to disaster. 'The common domestic cat is some times uncertain with its claws, and most people must have observed Unit the seats und bae'is of leather chairs are well marked by the sharp talons, which cannot refrain from exercising their power upon anything wlrch tempts their operation. 1 remember a leopard that was con sidered tame. The beast broke its chain, but instead of enjoying its lib city in a peaceful manner, it at once fastened upon the neck of a much prized cow, and would have killed tho animal had it not been itself beaten to death with el. lbs. A'l such creatures are untrust worthy, and they should bo avoided us pets. The only class of leopards that should become tho companion of man is tho most interesting of tho species, tho hunting leopard (Fells jiibata). 1 have never met a pcivon Hint hud shot one of these animals in a wild state, and such uu animal is rarely met with in Cue jungle. Tho hunting leopard is totally dif ferent in shape from all other leopards. Instead of being low and long with short but ina.s-.ive legs it standi ex tremely high, fun neck is long, tho head s'.ual', the eyes large and pierc ing, the legs long aud tho body light. It is generally admitted that tho hunting leopard is the fastest animal iu the world, ns it can overtake upon o;en ground the well-known black buck, which surpasses iu specu tllO f.i-test English greyhound. The number of clothes pius made iu this co-.mtry exceeds 500,000,000 a year, A SNAKE FARM. Queer Occupation in the Ozark Mountains of Mission. Accumulating a Fort tine By Rais ing Rattlesnake:). Probably the oddest occupation ever followed by man is that of an old Teu nessean who now lives three miles north of Gainesville, Mo., iu th'! O.ark Mountains. Ho is George Jayucs, who is generally known as ".Snaky George." lie eiinio to Mis souri from tho mountains of Teimos sec a few years ago an 1 followed the occupation of hunting for a living. Ho never accumulated much, but managed to eke out a scanty living by tho Bale of game and pelts. Jayes brought with him a knowl edge of the art of unking snuiie ml, and sold several pints during each season to the druggists of Gainesville aud neighboring viliagii. Its e.::l lent quality always secured him a good price. The rocks of tho Oniric inoiiiitaim aboii'id with rattlers, and Jaynes soon realized that he had a bonanza. Al'ier casting about for a time h j found u rocky piece of ground which was ut terly worthless for agricultural pur poses. Ho tiled a homestead claim on the land, and began improvements in n singular manner, lu-.tead of clear ing off the rocks he tried to get more there, and boon hid a veritable snake retreat. The little hillside was honeycombed with hole, and everything that a snake could desire to make home happy was a ided to tho place. While he entered 10) acres ho utilized only forty. He built a hut of stone aud cetiietit, While he was lilting up a splendid home for the snakes, ho did not care that they should liud any retreat iu his own dwelling Then he set about getting inhabitants for his peculiar farm. In this he cyperieiiccd little troiible.us tho hills abounded with the reptiles, and he knew how to catch and handle them without danger. His daily excursions were taken with a view to bringing home a new resident for his farm, and his live stock in creased with wonderful rapidity. Six years ago he completed tho work of slocking his place. Now hois reap ing the beuelil of his labors. Rattlesnakes of all sizes and condi tions are to be sjen iu profusion, ci uw ling about the rocks, si'iirming and twisting iu heaps while their deadly whir makes a music that strikes terror to the heart of tho n ivicc. Above all, is that terribly nnii-e-ntiiig odor which litis the atmosphere, and diivesiiway any uu j uuuceii: tomed to it. "Snaky ( l .'orgi)'' now estim iti s that there are 1(1,000 rattles ou the place, and he kills hu average of 2,o I I each season. Ho kills them only dining September and October, for at that time they are fat and full of oil. Thev are then preparing to go into winter quarters and are in prim.: ooiel ;i :on. Hi.i luelli'i I of catching tin in is simple. I'.e has fed them in a ceilaiu cleared spot ever since they have been his tenants, and u groat many of t In in come there regularly. When ho wants to begin work he stands on on ele vated rock, near the place, and with a slip noose of w ire, catches us many as he can use, and kills tiieni. Ho takes the bodies to his hut, throws them into a big kettle and "tries" out the oil. This he pucks in heavy bottles and ships to w hole! ale druggists over the country, it being used iu the preparation of vuriutis lini ments. One good-sized rattler will make a pint of oil, which brings SI.. "it) u pint, netting Jayucs about a dollar clear, over all expenses lie is accumulat ing a snug little fortune. Some Wonderfully Small Ponies. During the pust two months the Miluo Pros, of M uiinioiith, III,, huvc been sending out pictures and ac counts of tho "siniillest cult iu the world," a diminutive specimen of the equine species foaled at their poiiv farm iu July, 18:11. This is being dolio because of uu item which ap peared iu the St. Louis Republic, dur ing tho summer, and which churned that an Indiana Shell. lie 1 eolt belong ing to Henry R. Smith of Hartford City, was tlu "smallest coit ever fouled ou American soil." The equine dwarf of tho lloosier Stale was 21 inches high, and weighel 27 1-2 pounds on tho day of its birth. Milne's "vest yocket edition" colt, according to the accounts which were given at tho time, was but 20 inches inches high at birth, and weighed b it 20 pounds ono pound exactly for each inch. This miniature m hor-,,. flesh was uamed Tom Thumb, 11 t mother is Kiln, ono of Milne's pets. She is so smull that au overage sized man can stand astride h-.-r and place both feet, squarely upon tho grouud, without touching her buck. In this connection it might bo well to mention u few other dwarfs of the horse family, comments the Republic: George Washington, a pony colt foaled at tho Empire City (Wis.) Shetland farm on February 22, IS'.io. weighed but Xi pounds and stood 2 ) inches high. What is said to be the smallest full grown Shetland in America is tho property of Ribei t Rilburn of Em erald Grove, Wis. I have no figures on his height or age, but the World's Fair recuid shows that ho only neighs 100. In light of the above we can not consider the items which have been going the rounds of the press regarding the diminutive ponies be b'ligi.lg to the Siiah of Persia and the Harmless Iturdett-Coiitt us being other than rank fakes. O.ie of them do c'ares that the Shah's pony is but 12 1-2 inches in height; the other that tho iiaiioii"-;,' pet i) but 11 inches high and that it weighs but 17 pounds Natural Soap (ironing on Trees. The natives of North Al'r.ca are a notoriously dirty lot, which is sur prising in the light of a recent dis covery that soap literally grows on the trees there. If a man wants to bhave all he has to do is to go iti'o bis garden,, pluck a berry from the near est tree aud rub it mi his beard. A good lather is quickly produced. All this natural soup goes to wa-dc. The trees which bear this curious product are of the sapind'l, or soap berry order. They are amazingly prolific, and lle ir fruit contains about IIS percent of asponin. A lull grown tree will yield from 100 to 2 )') poundi of berries, and if the entire product of North Afrie.i should be put to its legitimate use, suflicictit soapsuds could be iiniiiitluet nred to make every house as clean and shining iis.u new cupper kettle. Tho existenc? of these trees has recently been made pnbl.o by a scientist, from Algiers. If this natural imp is as excellent us it is sai l to be, however, th -re will un doubtedly be several fortunes made by the pioiioers in the new iiulu ,t ry. -New York Wmld.
