A TREASURY ROMANCE. :
Kittle Rnrno sat in the veranda "and
whistled "Within a Mile of Kdinboro'
rwn," while Jidin Fen wick sat in - the
parlor and scowled fiercely at the portrait
f that yonng lady hanging over the man
tel. IJut scowling didn't seem to have
tiny effect fii the portrait, and his anger
heonied to have about as inucl on the orig
inal. 1 j
The truth of the matter was, there had
Wen a lover's quarrel.
They lunl been engaged for six months.
That was a long time for Kittie to keep
her tiii ling propensities in check. But
she bad done it, and congratulated herself
on tho victory she had. gained. Wby is
it that just as soon as wo think we have
onrvelveM under control, something comes
along to tempt ns, and in a good many
cases we liiid that wo are not masters of
imrselves after all f I don't know why it
i-S I am sore. Kitlio didn't either. But
j-ift about lio time slio began to plume
herself on her compiest Carl Davenport
came along, and straightway up popped
tho old penchant for flirting". It seemed
to her that she couldn't help flirting with
I)arenport. Ho was handsome and jollv,
and there was something about him which
Fcctncd to dare her. She knew John
wonl.ln't like it, that people would talk,
and tint her mother would institute a
course of daily lectures, but she kept on
llir.inir.

to her about it.
"You aren't jealous,
"I'd never have thought that of yon, John
iVnwiek; never!'' . , . .
"No, Tin not jonlon?," he veplied, "bnt
I don't like to see von so t houo-litless.
Would you like to have "hie flirihijj with
Miss Powell or Miss Covert as you flirt
with Davenport ?'
"Oh,. I shouldn't rare the least in the
World," she laughed back. "It's real fun,
John. Try if."
That was all the satisfaction ho got
then, lly-and-hy he touched on, the sub
ject again, and they' came near having p
lover's piarrel. lint .John, who had a
borror of . lover's quarrels, had the good
sense to stop before they got to angry
words. But now the quarrel ha' come in
dead earnest. For half an hour fliere had
been a tempest raging in the parlor. Kit
tie took np her position on the veranda
and whistled to show how little she cared,
and he scowled. To listen (o her, heicon
, eluded at that particular moment her'sole
object in life was to see how many runs
and trills and other embellishments she
could get into "Within a Mile of Edinboro
Town."
At length he went out to her.
"I want to come to some nuderstandinnr
in the matter," he said. "I'll tell von
what yon must do. Either stop flirting
with Davenport, or"
"Or break off our engagement; is that
hV she asked, with a half flush in hv'
c'iceks. ;'"'"' '
"Precisely," he answered gravely. "I
have borne it as long as I can. If you
really care for him, of course it is much
better for us to understand the matter. If
yon don't care for him, I have a riht to
insist
"You insist !" sho cried, with flashing
eye. "Yon insist ! Pd have yon to un
derstand, John Fenwick, that neither vou
nor any other man can order me toact ac
cording to your sovereign will and pleas
ure. 1 shall do just as I please, sir'
"Very well," ho answered, sternly.
"You understand the consequences, then."
"I do," sho said, scornfully. "Yon need
not wait for them. You can have vonr
freedom now. Here's yonr ring; keep it
foi some woman who will allow herself to
be dictated to, and will come and go at
your royal jwill. Good morning, sir."
And then she went in and shut the door
in his face. Kittie, from behind the cur
tain, saw him go away without once look
ing back. (
'To dare to tell mo what I must do or
mnst not do V she cried. "I'll show him!"
By-aiid-hy better thoughts came to her.
"I suppose I was to blame," she said, re
luctant to acknowledge it cvtn to herself.
"Hut he needn't Jmye luada a fHl of him
self y being jealous of mo. Ho ought to
have known that I didn't caro for that
goose of a Davenport; but men can't see
an inch 'ahead of their noses. I'll let him

has hail time to he ii aim in ml - rf l,:...n,.lr

everything will turn out nicely."
Kittie's plan was good enough, but it
failed to work. When she got read v to
tftko John back into her good graces he
had gone away, and she didn't know where.
Tho days slipped l.y, and Kittie hoped he
would come back, or write, but her hope
tvns ft vain one. He had evidently taken
licr'afc her word, and henceforth they were
tit lio strangers to each other.J j

belles of Pi tigorsk

slope of the
Caucasus, A dispute arose between two
rival beauties, springing out of the atten

young cavalry officer quartered in the
neighborhood. The quarrel ran so high
that one of the Amazons at length dis
patched her maid to the other with a for
mal challenge, which was instantlv nonott.

On Tuesday night last Leonidas Gro

mutilated corpse. Her screams brought
the husband quickly to j the bedroom, and
inspection discovered a ragged opening in
the roof, directly over the breast of tienn-
fortnnate man, which was torn through as
if by a cannon shot, and extending down
ward through the bedding and floor; other
holes showed the direction taken bv the
deadly missile. Subsequent search re
vealed the fact that the awful calamity was
caused by the fall of a meteoric stone, aud

weighing twenty ponnds and a few ounce.

Gladstone's Idea op a TTpun Mr
Gladstone, in an address on "Dr. Hook "
recently gave his idea of a hero. He holds
that a hero is a man who mnst have Pud-

were, out of himself, and must unrsnethpsp

lawful, otherwise he may degenerate in
to a wild enthusiasm.. lie must do this
without distortion or disturbance of his na
ture as a man, because there are cases of
men who are heroes in oreat. n.irt i..,t
- '
who are so cxccssivclv ffiven to e.ert.-iin
ideas and objects of their own that thev
lose all the proportion of their nature. A
man to be a hero must pursue ends beyond
himself by legitimate means. He miist
pursue ihem as a man, not as a dreamer.
He must not give to some one" idea a dis
proportion which it does not deserve

nature. If he docs all this he is a hero
even if he has not very great powers, and
if he has great powers, then he is a con
summate hero. A water hen. tl.n V...

IMitloi'exa ix Geiimaxt.- The Ger
man method of m:inainr the pleasant idnv

advantage is taken of the other until one
of them pronounces tho magic word "phil
opena." This is the warning now the
sport is to begin. Let ns suppose that a

she removes the ban .by telling him to go
away. If she asks him to take off Id lt
he must resolntely keep it on: if to be seat
ed, he mudt stand; or if at the table she
should hand him any article which he ac
cepts he wins the forfeit. Durin" all this

exercising their wits to nrevent bein.r
caught, and the sport goes on all the even"

Marshal MacMahox's Politeness.
A Russian oflicer was one evening at! a
ball at the Elysee. He entered the supper
room, and when he saw there was nothing
on the talde Ipit tea and chocolate he ex
claimed: "Really, 1 cannot understand
how anybody can invite people to 6nppcr
without giving them at least cold meat,
cold ham and a Wttle of claret." Five
minutes afterward a servant walked np to
him, bearing a waiter on which were cold
meat, cold ham and a bottle of claret.
The s'Tvant said, as ho handed the waiter
to the Russian: "Marshal do MacMahon
overheard your criticism on his supper."
At another supper at the Ely see Marshal
do MacMahon noticed a young lieutenant,
w ho had just graduated at St. Cyr, lean
ing peusively and timidly against a door.
He went np to him, and asked : "Do you
not dance?" "Indeed I do not. I have no
luck. I asked a lady to dance with me,
and she refused point blank." "Point her
ont to me." When tho Marshal saw who
she was ho said: "See here, yonn" man,
yod must look around and find ont people's
standing if yon don't , want to stumble.
Yoii must not, unless yon are acquainted
with them, ask wives of Marshals to dance
with you. The lady yon asked is Madame
deiMcMahon. Sho never dances. But
for! this once I am going to ask. her to
dance with yon." The Marshal went np
to hT, related this incident, and the next
qnadrille she danced with the 3'oun lieu
