A SUMMER SONG.
Ah! p hither, sweet one, art thou fleJ
My heart of May?
In vain pursuing I am lei
A weary way.
The brook is dry; its silver throat
Rills song no more,
And not a linnet lifts a note
Along the shore.
Will thou return? I ask the night,
I ask the morn .
The doubt that wounds the old delight
Is like a thorn.
Oh, come! I lean my eager ear
For laughters ring;
Bring back the love-light cool and clear
Bring back my Spring !
ClintoA Scollard, in the Century.
How She Wore His Ring,
EY MARY KYLE DALLAS.
"What i3 the matter with you, Frank?"
said I; "I never saw you look so sulky
before."
"Sulky!" Frank repeated, "I'm in
trouble, and you have no sympathy for
me. So much for friendship."
"Good heavens, Frank!" I cried, div
ing into my pocket and producing a
well-iilled pocket-book. "I had no
idea tell me how much you'll have. If
there's not enough here I'll draw a check.
The idea of keeping it from me, when
you know that if I had only a dollar in
the world I'd share it with the friend
who saved my life aud an ungrateful
wretch I'd be, too, not to do it."
"Oh, put up your pocket-book, Jack,"
said Frank. "Can't you think of any
other trouble in life but want of money?
Your ancestors have rolled in gold so
long that I suppose you think the rest of
us beggars. There, I know you're a
k;nd-hearted fellow and my friend, but
Fra not out of cash," he laughed.
But in a minute more his face was as
gloomy as ever.
"Tell me what it is?" I saiJ.
We were sitting on the bank of the
river fishing. Frank had come out to
our place to visit me. We had been at
school together, and just as we were
about to graduate, Frank saved my life.
I sha'n't tell you how, that would be
another story, and I want to talk about
this affair just now, but he saved my life
at the risk of his own ; was laid up for
six months, and always limrfcd a little
afterward, and I vowed eternal gratitude,
so did my parents. We all .adored him,
and we had been very intimate ever
since.
He was twenty-five by this time, and
an artist. I was twenty-four, and as
Frank often said, "disgustingly rich."
He wa3 usually the merriest fellow
alive. I don't want to convey the idea
that Frank was a sickly cripple.
He was a very unusually handsome
3 oung man, and his little limp only made
him what the ladies call interesting.
It was quite in his favor with them,
and I noticed that when he was intent on
making a conquest, he limped more than
usual. But as gracefully as possible,
you may be sure.
He made a great many conquests. For
my part, my weakness was not the ten
der passion, and I rather laughed at his
affairs of the heart.
"I suppose it is a girl," I said, after a
pause. He looked up at me with his
long-lashed, gray eyes, for I sat on a rock
sme distance above hicn.
"Jack, I don't believe you have ever
been in love, or ever will be," he said.
"Oh, I like the girls well enough," I
said, "and no doubt when I am older I
shall marry; but I don't think there's
any of the 'Amanda Rosamanda, the
world would be a desert void without
thee' sort of thing about me."
"I don't believe there is," said he, in
a tone that did not make the remark
sound like a compliment. "But, Jack,
that sort of thing, laugh at it as you may,
is solid fact after all, and hearts can
break, and lives be shattered, and fellows
cro to the doers because a woman "
He broke down.
Mv arm was around his shoulder in a
moment.
"Why, Jack, old fellow, all the wo
men like you," said I. "You're sure to
get her if you try hard enough. They're
often like that, I'm told coquette with
a fellow till the last moment."
"Oh, she didn't," said Frank. "She
accepted me at once yes, at once. It
was love at first sight with us. I met
her at a dinner. I took her and her
mother, or maiden aunt, or somebody
in a cap and eye-glasses, to the opera.
I met her by accident, and walked with
her. I asked her if she could love me,
and she said, 'Oh, yes.' We were en-o-aed.
I almost ruined myself to buy
a cluster diamond riDg, and we had
the happiest winter that ever mortals
lived through. Our wedding-day was
fixed for October. Her father promised
all sorts of amiable things, and I was
fool enough to kiss another girl. She
rather dared me to do it you know
the way some girls have and by the
most dreadful ill luck Jennie saw me;
and, look here."
He took something from his pocket
and held it out to me. It was a ring
a cluster diamond.
"She sent that back last week," he
said, "and I've wanted to die ever since."
And he rolled over on the grass and hid
his face.
"Oh, go and make up with her,
FranL," said I.
"I've tried," said Frank; "she won't
speak to me she won't look at me.
She sends my letters back unopened.
No; it's over, and I shall never be
good for anything again."
lie seemed to mean it.
"She's gone to Washington," said he;
"and they say an old Senator is miking
!ove to her. She'll marry him; I know
it is out of spite, but she'll do it."
"Go after her,and cut him out," said I.
"I start to-morrow for Mexico a
business engagement, signed and con
tracted for. I'm to do the sketches for
a work on a certain part of the country,
and I hope I'll never come back," said
Frank.
I never saw any one look so desperate.
"Frank." I said, "if you really are as
mad about the irirl as you say you are.
I'll promise you to go after Iter myself,
force her to be reasonable, auJ coax her
to make up with you."
"It's impossible to do anything of the
sort," he replied; "but if you could
my God! if you could, I would lie down
at you feet and worship you!"
"As I'm not a Japanese idol, or any
thing of the sort, I sha'n't ask you to do
that," said I. "I owe you a little debt
of gratitude, remember. I'll go to
morrow, and you can depend on hearing
good news."
He shook hi3 head.
"You're a dear, good fellow," he said.
"I don't believe any other fellow living
would do so much for a friend; I don't
indeed. And, Jack, look here, I shall
be down in Mexico soon, you know.
Write to me, but don't mention her un
less you should perform a miracle. Then
then oh, good heavens ! telegraph to
me; send me those words, 'She wears
it,' and I'll fly through lire and water,
or, blood, to her side!"
"Wears what, Jack?" I asked.
"Oh," said he, "I felt as though you
could read my thoughts. This ring;
take it with you. If she ever says, 'I'll
forgive him,' say, 'then put this ring on
igain.' And when she does "
"All right," said I.
And he kissed the diamond, and put
it in a little box and transferred it to
me.
"And now her name and address?"
"You don't even know what?" he
cried.
I did not tell him that he was desper
ately in love with another girl when we
last met. He was in real trouble and I
did not think it right to joke with him,
and he wrote the lady's name: "Jean
nette Donald," and the hotel where her
people were stopping oa a card, and
said again:
"No use, Jack, no use; she said she
would never trust me again. She meant
A week from that time I was ic
Washington, and Frank on his way to
Mexico, aud I had called on Mr. Donald
on a business matter, concocted by my
father to help me out.
Dear old dad was as derply interested
as I, and I had thus been regularly in
troduced to Miss Jeanne cte.
She was a beautiful blonde, with
golden hair and violet eyes, and the
sweetest smile, and a little, p3asive way
that made me fancy that she regretted
Jack.
But I was very artful. I laughed aud
danced with her, and walked with her,
and talked with her, and made her ac
quaintance very thoroughly before I ever
mentioned Frank. At last one day I
said'
"You know Frank Luiwig, do you
not, Miss Donald? I've heard him speak
of you."
"I was once slightly acquainted with
Mr. Ludwig," she replied.
Her tone prevented me from saying
any more just then; but as time weat on,
I was more and more determined to do
what I had promised.
The old senator had been in the field
when I arrived, aud I had been obliged
to well, to appear to be very much ii
love myself, iu order to drive hiui away,
and he had said some very btter thiug-j
about "young puppies" before he van
ished. But now he was paying his ad
dresses to a young widow, who appeared
on public occasions dressed principally
in bugles, ami leaning on his arm in the
tenderest fashion.
In fact I worked hard for Frank's sake
to keep other fellows away from Miss
Donald, and to make her like me, and
feel that I was a friend, and I had just
got myself firmly into her gocd graces,
when with a horror which I have no
words to express, I suddenly discovered
that I had fallen in love with her myself.
Yes in love, and in what I had once
laughed at as the "Amanda Rosamanda
style." It was not a joke, but a serious
truth that I felt that "the world would
be a desert void" without Jeannette
Donald. You see it was the first time I
had been so much alona with a beautiful
girl, and she had been so sweet to me,
and she was the realization of my ideal
of womanly beauty, with her golden
hair and heavenly eyes, and a thousand
other things? However, I was not a
false rascal. All that made no difference,
I had come to Washington to work for
Frank, and I would do my best for him.
Conscious as I was of my own feelings, I
dared delay no longer, and that very
evening I took my way to Mr. Donald's
house, determined to plead for Frank as
though he were myself. She was alone
at the piano, playing softly when I
entered their private parlor.
She held out her hand to me. I took
it, and could not help holding it a little
longer than I ought.
"Miss Jeannette," I said, 'I have a
confession to make. My acquaintance
with you seemed to come about almost
accidentally; but the truth is, that I
came from New York on purpose to
know you."
"Is it possible?" said she, blushing like
a rose.
"Yes, indeed, Miss Donald," I said.
"I asked you once if you knew my friend,
Frank Ludwig. He who used to talk
so much about you. Oh, Miss Donald,
you are so sweet, so fair, you look so
gentle. How can you be so cruel?"
"I cruel! I do not know what you
mean, Mr. Leslie," Jeannette cried.
"When a womau has won a man's
heart, is it right to cast him away to
doom him to despair," I said. "My pur
pose in seeking you out was, from the
first, to ask you to put this ring on your
finger."
I was about to say "once more," when
a hearty slap upon my shoulder startled
me.
"Come, come," said Mr. Donald he
was a man with a loud voice and a
Scotch accent "come, come! You've
been very sly, young folk, but I was the
same myself in my time, and I'm not sure
I'll object."
"We've not been sly, papa, said
Jeannette. "Jack has never said a
word to me before."
I'ut It on, lad," said the old gentle
mam; "put it on her finger, and my
blessing on ye both,"
What could I do ? I put the ring on
Jeanette's finger.
Nothing else was possible. The old
gentleman left us together, her head
sunk on my shoulder. I have often
wondered since what she thought of me,
for I never uttered another word the
whole evening.
As soon as I decently could I got
away. I adored her ; I knew that I
should be miserable without her, but I
could not play the part of a rascal.
Having stolen Frank's diamond ring
and given it away might have been
rather bad, from a detective's point of
view, but I did not think of that. It
would seem to him that I had been false,
cowardly, treacherous, and had won his
Jennie after promising to make all right
between them.
I could never tell Jennie the truth
ifter all she said to me that night,
things that would have made me tha
happiest of men, if I had dared to be,
and as walked homeward I decided to
shoot myself and end it all. I could
write a letter of adieu, explaining all to
Frank, telling Jennie how I loved her,
telling my parents that without honor
life was valueless. I had a pistol in my
valise at the hotel. Well, the sooner it
was over the better.
I was in an undescribable state of
mind, for I loved life, and I saw it
bright and glowing before me but for
my lost honor.
As I entered the hotel, I turned and
gave a last look at the long, beautiful
street. Before morning my eyes would
ckse on the world forever.
"There's a message lor you," said the
clerk as I passed his othce. I turned and
took it. It was from the city of Mexico,
from Frank, of course. I tore it open,
these were the contents. "Don't go
further with that matter; I'm m i:;icl."
So I was when he next heard from me.

LADIES' COLUMN.
WOMEN ON HORSEBACK.
There are very few accidents in riding
'or which the unpardonable ignorance
5f the rider is not directly responsible.
5eventy-five per cent, of the woim ride
abominably, and poor form in th.ir case
shows much more plainly than in the
man. Their shoulders are twisted, their
hands unsteady, the toe3 are seen con
anually kicking the skirt, and they rise
to the side. Here in New York we find
much improvement in the public form,
due to better instruction and the dread
af scrutinizing spectators, but the actual
knowledge of the horse is quite as defi
cient. There are women, of course, who
go in for riding with precisely the same
idea a3 they do for bathing at Narragau
sett because the rest do so, and the op
portunity of exhibiting a fetching cos
tume is not to be lost. These will ride
about as they swim a groom and the
saving rope will always be at haud, and
it is quite necessary that they should.

VEILS IN FAVOR.
Veils, by the way, although not quite
10 large as Marie Stuart's, will couvj in
to great favor this season. Every hat
will have its veil and wide hats will call
for such wide veils that it will be neo
sssary to gather them up by a piecs
of narrow ribbon, so as to fit these wide
brims. Then there will be the square
veils, the corners of which being weighted
with tassels to throw entirely over hats,
and three-cornered are semi-circlar veils
for small bonnets which some ladies se
cure with a steel spring. The irregular
lozenge spots have vanished, and in their
stead we are to have tulle with velvet
spot3, black net spangled with tiny glass
beads, and very fine crimson n-t dotted
vith crystal tots so as to impart a slight
rosy blush to the face. Everybody
3ummer girls and all will neeJ a sup
ply of veils this season, and so dalicite
and beautiful are the many kinds of filmy
stuffs appropriate for this poatio addi
tion to a woman's toilet that with a little
thought and study she will he enable 1 to
accomplish wonders in heightening the
charm of her face. Detroit Free Press.
TIIE FANS OF 1891.
The summer gown is not complete
without a fan which blends with it. A
pretty fan, to be carried with a black net
dress, is one made of black gauze on
which the fleur de lys is painted. The
3ticks are of black shell. Another pretty
black gauze fan has silver sticks, aal
embroidered all over the fau in silver
threads are huge butterflies, silver tinsel
being used for their wings.
One fau is made of white silk, with
black point lace butterflies upon it. The
sticks are of mother of pearl, and here
and there upoa them is a tiny butterfly
done in black enamel. A fan which
blends well with a violet gown is of
green gauze. Painted over the lower
part are violets, peeping out from be
neath green leaves. This fan is not very
large, and does not close. The handle
is of gold, with a bunch of five purple
enamel violets with diamond centers for
its top.
Many of the fans to be U3ed this sum
mer are covered with jeweled bugs.
Fans made of dark shades of silk will
have upon them strange-looking beetles
with jeweled wings. A very dainty fan
is half of shirred crepe lisse. Where the
shirring ends is inuicated by a fine silver
thread. The upper pa-t of ih fan is
silk, with pink clover and its gre.a
leaves painted upon it. The stems c.ii
be seen through the shirring, ?. i 1 tri';
clover looks as if it was just lilting up it.

fan made of yellow marabout feathers
has sticks of black shell. In one caa be
seen the face of a tiny gold watch.
While ostrich feather fans, with pearl
handles and the owner's initials formed
of her favorite gem somewhere on the
handle, are in vogue. Aio York lit

FASHION NOTE3.
A novelty in tie fastener is a silver
duck's head.
The filbert furnishes a model for scarf
pins and watch charms.
Diamond asps are worn as broocae
xnd as ornaments in the hair.
A new brooch imitates in gold, a little
shoe, the roettc of which is formed of
pearls. """
In spite of past, prediction1, the bor
dered robe seems to have takeu a fresh
lease of life.
Sleeves of Mae silk mull, jetted gal
loons, as well a bands of black mara
bout or ostrich feathers, still continue in
high favor for decorating light evening
gown.
Slender garlands of flowers are placed
around the upper edge of half open
bodices for dresy evening wear, or arc
set diagonally across the chest and bor
dering the extreme edge of the sheath
skirt.
What could be prettier in the way of
a morniug coilTure than a little cap of
gauze, with aplisse-edge falling over the
hair, while the plain side is gathered into
l puffed crown, a coquettish bow of vel
vet being perched upon the front.
The larger proportion of corsages con
tinue to be made with the high, close
officer's collar. There are, however, a
few that are cut a trille low and arc fin
ished about tho ntck with a ruche of
tulle, silk muslin or crepe dc chine.
There are many pretty stvles for little
girls up to twelve or thirteen years of
age, but after that time their costumes
are often mere copies of the styles worn
by their elders, plain skirt?, with equally
plaiu bod ices finished oil with deep add
ed basques, flounces, Greek draperies,
plain and draped bretellcs, and simpli
fied forms of all the styles in vogue.
Fruits in Arizona.
Fruit culture in Arizona has thii3 far
progressed on a somewhat limited scale,
but in the experimental tests already
made it ha3 been demonstrated that an
excellent quality can be obtained, and
that, too, early in the season. The orange,
lemon and lime yield in abundance and
are superior fruit iu every way. In Yuma
County the fig has been raked with suc
cess that stamps it as indigenous. Here
tho grape is hardy, thrifty and adaptable
--maturing from three to four weeks be
fore the California grape. The olive
grows luxuriantly, but it needs a great
deal of caic in cultivation ?csides plenty
of water. The plum can easily be raised
from the seed and will fruit early, but
thus far it has not been of a quality
adapted for table use. However, as stock
for prune gralting it is desirable. The
date has proven a success beyond all ex
pectation. The soil is particularly adapted
for its growth, and many fruit growers
are now preparing to engage in its culti
vation on an extensive scale. Apricots
aud peach 3 will do well.
The orange, ieiaon, olive and banana
thrive; well in Maricopa County.
During the next live years Arizona will
take a rapid stride forward in fruit cul
ture. New irrigation enterprises arc be
ing pushed forward, and as a conse
quence land is rap'idly being brought in
to condition for orchard aud vineyard

Illuminated by Fireflies.
A special from Ringgold, Ga., ie'.ls ol
a wonderful phenomenon which visited
that historic city tho other evening.
Millions upoa millions of fireflies issued
from neighboring mountain ridges and
took down the course of theChickamauga
River, which skirts that city on its south
ern border. The pyrotechnic display
wa3 grand. Trunks of trees skirting the
river were plainly visible a quarter of a
mile distant, and the entire mountain
side was illuminated. The horde of fire
flies was fully forty feet high, and it took
a quarter of an hour to pass down the
stream, extending over a mile along its
course. Chutt xooii Soc.
