A search for a child's short story, "The Griffin and the Minor Canon," in a volume all by itself revealed to a persistent city shopper the thought and money that are expended on the furnishing of dolls' houses. Book stores had not the story in a single volume, but in a department store one young woman interviewed had re cently been transferred from the toy department and was able to contribute a helpful hint. "I think," she said, "you can find it in one of the dells' houses down stairs." Curiosity had by that time become a sauce to literature, so the shopper hurried downstairs to inspect the doll houses. Three of the most expensive houses contained libraries consisting of a score of diminutive books and each book contained a child's story complete. One of them was "The rriin and the Jlinor Canon."

And in less time than it has taken me to write, husband and wifa had made up their minds heroically to the sacrifice. The details were not dif ficult to agree upon. Cornelius would seek his fortune in America, "the best country on earth for a man of resolution and ability." Poor, semi-widowed Rose took refuge at Brompton. B&iinda, with the hun dred and twenty pounds a year de rived from her mother's fortune, might be considered independent. She should be sent to some moderate ly expensive boarding school for the next two years, the term of her fa ther's banishment, and Uncle Robert had considerately said that she might look upon his house as her home dur ing the midsummer and Christmas holidays. Belinda independent, Cornelius put upon his legs and offered his free dom, and Rose restored to a pew in church, fine clothes and livery ser vants what a touch cf the magi cian's wand was this! Next day was Sunday. Major O'Shea dyed his whiskers, which he had suffered to grow gray under the cold shade cf poverty, brushed up his coat, put en a pair of lavender gloves, and lounged away the after noon in the park, his hat as rakish ly set on his head, his whole air as jaunty as in the palmiest days of his youth. Madame, after duly attend ing morning service for was it not her first duty, said Rosie, her eyes swimming, to offer .thanksgiving for her own and her dear O'Shea's cood fortune?- madame, attending morning sarvice, betook horc?lf to Brompton and .employed the remain der of the day in talking over events and planning a thousand agreeable domestic comforts for herself with Uncle "Robert. Eelinda, poor little fool, cried herself white and sick I with passionate grief. She did not want respectability or boarding schools or a home in the holidays. She wanted all she loved on earth her worthless old father, and was to lose him. : "We really have very different ways of showing our affection," said Mrs. O'Shea when she returned well dressed, blooming, full of hope in the future, and found the child crouched down, dinnerless, dirty, her face dis figured and swollen with tears, be side a fircless hearth. "I suppese I shall suffer more than any one else by your papa's absence, but I do what is right. do not embitter the thorny path of duty still more to his feet" Rosie had alwaj-s a fine ficrid style of metaphor of her own when' she tried to talk grand "by useless tears and lamentations." t From that night on until the hour1. of final separation, scarcely more ! than a week. Belinda kent her ! ings better under control. Sh? worked a little purse in secret, upon which you may be sure many a salt tear fell, put in it all her slender heard of pecket money, and pushed it into her father's not unwillin-! hand on the day of his departure instinct telling her what kind of a gift would to Cornelius be the wel comes token of filial love. Vvhen the supreme moment of parting had arrived she clung to him, shivering, tearless, dumb; while Rosie, whose only feeling was one cf cheerful re lief, cried almost to the verge of uh- becomingness, and uttered every im- j aginable wifely platitude about the heart-rending cruelty of the situ ation, and the dreadful, dreadful pain that her devotion to duty and to her husband's interests were costing her. Then came the removal to Eromp ton; fine rosewood and mahogany, excellent dinners, city friends, Uncle Robert's vulgar, purse-proud talk all, it would seem, very tasteful to Mrs. O'Shea. And then less than a twelvemonth after Belinda felt that last kiss of her father's lips, came a New York paper, directed in a strange hand, to Uncle Robert, and containing -the bald announcement of Cornelius O'Shea's death. The poor little girl, away at a second-class Brighton bcarding-scliool, was sum moned home in haste; . the blinds of the Brompton villa were drawn de cently close for four days and partial ly lowered on the fifth, or imaginary funeral day; Rosie, for the second time in her life, veiled her sorrow under the most bewitching weeds. Uncle Robert talked about the mys terious ways of Providence, kept the corners of his mouth well down be- J fore the servants, and ere a week was over had made a new will, leaving every shilling ho possessed at the un conditional disposal of his dear niece Rose. O'Shea, in short, by dying, nad ' committed by far the best action of ! his' half-century of life, and every- j nets were rest style in foreign water body in the house knew it. Every- ; ing places.

Let them send her away anywhere on the faeexof the earth that was not Brompton. Yes, she would go to school abroad to Bologne, Berlin, as they chose. Only pathetic stipulations for her age let her remain away until she was old enough to see after herself in life, unaided, and let her have no holidays. And a charmingly oppor tune chance of gratifying the girl's perverse fancies was not long in pre senting itself. Sedulously reading through the educational eclumns of the Times, Rose one morning -with a lighting of the stepmaternal bosom, came upon the following: EASE OPPORTUNITY FOR PASEXTS AXD GUARDIANS. A lady of literary attainments, socially unencumbered and entertaining advanced ideas as to the higher culture and destinies of her sex, oilers her society and influence to any young girl of good birth, for whom improvement by continual travel mzy be desirsd. Terms moderate, and paid inva riably in advance. References exchanged. By the next post Mrs. O'Shea and the lady holding advanced ideas were in communication. They interviewed each other, they exchanged opinions on the destiny of sex, they exchanged references. After some battling, tho commercial part of the transaction was brought to a satisfactory close, and Belinda, sullenly submissive to anything that divided her from Rose, Brompton and Uncle Robert, made her next great step in life. The name of her new preceptress (of whom mors herafter) was Burke, Miss Lydia Eurke a name net un known to fame either in the speech making t)r bookmaking world. And under, or cfteiier without this lady's care, Belinda's "culture" had been progressing up to the present time; no material change occuring mean while at Brompton save Uncle Rob ert's death, which took place about tiree months before the date which this history opens. Some smatterings of languages the girl, drifting hither and thither over Europe, has picked up; some music and dancing, cf a vagrant kind; a good deal of premature ac quaintance with human nature; life, pened, I fear, at somewhat tattered pages, for her class-book; neglect, not invariably the worst educator, for her master. A socially unencumbered lady, bent on correcting the mistakes made by her sex during the past six thou sand years, and with the higher des tinies cf the future on her soul, could scarcely have time to wasto on the training cf the one unimportant unit immediately beneath her eyes.

Raisirg her self lazily from the sward such mixture of dust and lifeless stalk as here in the south we dignify by the name of sward Belinda, after sev eral more yawns, draws forth from her ragged pocket a letter, written on sea-green English note paper, that must certainly haye cost the sender double postage, and in a characterless little boarding school ladies' hand. "My dearest Belinda." '"Dearest for her to call me 'dear est!' when papa himself used to think 'my dear little girl' sufficient. But Rose must be a hypocrite, even in writing." "You willjje surprised, and I hope pleased to hear that I am coming all the way to the south of France to see you. I am sure, when I look at St. Jean de Luz on the map, it quite takes my breath away. I have al ways had a horror of the Bay of Bis cay and can never sleep in the train as most people do, and then I am such a coward about strange beds! But of course Spencer will be with me, and as there have been several cases of smallpox close at hand, and I am so frightened about it. Dr. Pick ney says the wisest thing I can do is to pack up my boxes and run. "I trust, dear, you will find me looking pretty well.

Present my compliments to our ex cellent friend, Miss Burke, and be lieve me your own affectionate mamma. , ROSE. "P. S. Augustus Jones has a villa at Clapham, elegantly furnished everything in first style! I have often dined there in his father's time with poor dear Uncle Robert. j Augustus will be an excellent party, I can assure you, Belinda, for any girl who may be fortunate enough to win him." Belinda crushes the letter together contemptuously, flings it up twice or thrice, ball fashion, into the air, then thrusts it away, still in its crumpled state, out, of sight, and lapses back into castle-building. "Spain or Clapham.' Just as she has for the third time asked herself this fateful question, an Englishman in full afternoon Hyde Park dres3 emerges from the Hotel d'Isabella, about fifty yards distant from the lit tle place or square where the girl is sitting, and, espying her, ap proaches. The newcomer is young, florid, not distinctly ill-looking as far as features go, but distinctly vulgar. The way he wears his hat, his jew elry, his necktie everything about the man, - in short jars en your taste, you know not wherefore. And then he is mosquito bitten! And mosquito bites are not wont to., im prove the expression of the features, or to confer, even on worthier men than Mr. Jones, the air of distinc tion. "A villa at Clapham elegantly fur nished an excellent parti for any girl who may be lucky enough to win him," think3 Belinda, as ' the hero of her air-built romance draws near. "What a pity Rose does not appropriate so much good fortune herself! I must see about making the match up as scon as I get them together." , And with this she laughs aloud;' not as j-ouhg ladies who have learned to do all things prettily laugh, still less as the British schoolgirl giggles. Shrill rather, and impish, laughter savoring cf malice, not mirth, is the lighter of Belinda O'Shea! Mr. t . Jones's face, a spot of warm color at all seasons, has grown to the hue cf a well-ripened tomato by the time j he reaches her. Gooa afternoon, Miss Belinda. Upon my word, you have found out the only bit of shade in the place. Glad to see you find your own thoughts so amusing." Augustus at tempts the drawl of the high-bred swell, as he has seen that personage depicted on the stage; not with very marked success. Belinda pushes her ragged hat a little further, back from her fore head, stretches cut her shabby san daled feet in the dust, .then, glancing up at Mr. Jones much as cne small boy glances at another with whom he is inclined to quarrel, but whose strength he measures, begins to whistle. " "I thought yesterday you told me you meant to give up that that slightly unfeminire accomplishment of yours," he remarks after a min ute. "And T," retorts the girl, thought you promised nr again to make use of that shocking 'Miss Eelinda.' If 3'ou had pluck enough to say-to think it necessary to call me some thing, do say 'Miss O'Shea.' You have no idea hew caddish 'Miss Be linda' sounds." ' The tomato hue extends itself over poor Mr. Jones' very ears and neck. "Oh! For the future, then it's to be 'Belinda' between us. is it? Only too happy on my part, I am sure. But I must ask one thing back." He has taken a place beside her, after carefully selecting a com paratively clean patch of turf on which to deposit his Hyde Park splendor. "I must ask one thing back that you always call me 'Augus tus.' " She looked at him through and through with fearless child's eyes. "Augustus!" I hope you have brought me some macaroons, Augus tus? Augustus, try not to kick Costa when you think I am not looking. No I could not. If I saw you every day till I died, and if I lived to a" hun dred 3rears old, I could never call you 'Augustus.' I might do it once," she corrects herself, "half a "dozen times even, if you bribed me hand somely; but from my heart never." "In other cases 2'ou don't appear to feel much shyness about doing so," remarks Mr. Jones, cuttingly. "It seems to me that you call half the English and American fellows in the place by their Christian names." "Ah, they are only boys," said Be linda. "You would nat have me 'mister' my chums the fellows I play paume with would you? I have my ideas, you yours, and no doubt Rose will back you up in them when she is here. You did not know, by the bye, that my mamma was coming to St. Jean de Luz, did you, Mr. Johes?" " vvell, yesfl know that Mrs. O'Shea is coming -here, certainly," says Au gustus. "Indeed, I had a few lines from her, written from Paris, by to- day's post. I have her letter in my pocket." where, however, he baa thp discretion to let it rest. , "As far as I can make out we shall have the pleasure of . seeing Mrs. O'Shea and Captain Temple arriving this even- lUt,.

Allison's Death Set for Feb. 24..- The greatest crowd., according to public opinion, that ever jammed and packed and elbowed its way into the county court house cf Buncombe, was present when Judge Council passed tbe death sentence upon James B. Allison, convicted of murder in the first degree for the killing on July 5th. of Floyd MeCee. Allison, who maintained a ca!!m de-m-eaucr throughout the trial and sen tence, is now wild, cursing the man 'he killed, and saying he would like to be out for a while with a rifle to show Asiheviile what a rough time is. Allison will net appeal his case. His only hope cf escaping the electric chair is a commutation of his sen tence b.y the Governor. Children Killed in Sight cf Mother. Sunday morning Yad-a Cook and Hazel Myers, two little girls between S and 10 years old, were killed about five miles -north of Thomas ville by northbound passenger train Xo. 44. The two girls accompanied by their mothers had gotten off train Xo. 11 from High Point at Lake. As they were coming up the track they met a freight train going south and get ting out of the way of the freight train got in the way of train 44 go ing north. The two little girls were struck in the back of the head and their skiulls were crushed, killing them instantly, the mothers barely escaping death by being only a little further away from the track. An Unnatural Father. Thomas Jarvis, a young Davie county farmer, was killed in a hor rible manner by his father, William Jarvis, near Advance. It appears that the father and son got into a dispute, -when the former drew 'his knife and cut the latter across the abdomen from hip to hip, after wihich the father stamped the son until his bowels protruded. The son died and the father escaped. Talk of S0-?JiIe Ride Test. There is talk among the officers of the North Grrrolina national jruard of getting up a ninety-mile practice ride to be palled off some time an October, probably. The idea is for the ride to start from Raleigh and circle around so as to take in such points as Louisburg, Frankiintcn, Hender son aird Durham,, with a stop-over at each place. Incidentally there will be entertainments of . one sort or an other tat each place, such as barbe cues and the like that give promise of special enjoyment to counteract the strain of the practice ride.
