A Letter That Came at Last
KV MAKY KYLE DALLAS.
Iiegiua Karnsen, having listened to
the postman's whittle coming up the
street, and hearing his step leave the
next pavement, suddenly slipped her feet
out of her pretty satin slippers and glided
down thestairs between her bedroom and
the lower hall in her stockings, holding
her robe bo that no sound of its flounces
might be heard against the balustrade.
"I heard him say he would write to her,"
she whispered, between her white teeth,
a gleam of jealousy in her iarge, black
eyes, aud a frowu upon her urow which
spoiled her face, regular as were its fea
tures. "I heard him, aud I will know
what he writes I will know."
Bending over the letter-box, she stood
waiting listening.
The postman's step advanced, his
whistle sounded, letters dropped into
the box, and he was off agaiu.
The next instant, whatever he had
left was in Miss Rauisen's hand, in her
pocket, and she was running up-stairs
again.
Half-way up she -net another girl a
young thing of seventeen, with flaxeu
hair, blue eyes, slender waist, lips like
jacque roses, and a skia of that pure,
healthy, creamy tint, more beautiful
than the highest color.
"I heard the postman, llegiua," she
said, with a laugh.
"So did I, Bessie," replied the bru
nette, "but there ia no letter in the
box."
"Oh, I am sure he whistled here,"
Bessie answered, and went on and peeped
into the box.
She returned disappointed.
"He said he would write" she whis
pered to herself "he said he would
write."
Her chin quivered with disappoint
ment, her eyes grew heavy. She would
not cry, but she greatly desired to do
so.
"Ah, well, there are more mails to
day," she said, and settled down to her
sewing work for her Cousin Kegina
llegina was always having new dresses
made. Poor little Bessie; the poor re
lation of the family, was seldom with
out a needle in her hand in consequeuce.
It was very rarely that she had a new
dress of her own.
Happily she was so fresh and pretty,
that the simple little frocks that were
now and then given her, muslins bought
by her aunt at bargain counters, or cheap
woolens selling ol out of season, were
all becoming.
Regina, with her grand air, had some
times condescended to tell her so in the
first days of her presence in the Remsen
residence, but of late, to the astonish
ment of the stately cousin and the stout
aunt, others had observed the fast.
Roy King, who was not only the most
eligible match in the Ramsen social
circle, but a very charming fellow beside,
had been altogether too attentive to poor
little Bessie of late.
They had lingered on the balcony to
gether, and Regina had heard a whisper,
which had set her to watching tne letter
box as we have seen.
Now behind her locked door, she held
in her hand the proof that she was not
mistaken. A letter on the paper Roy
always used, and bearing his seal, ad
dtessed to ".Miss Bessie Benton."
For a moment Regina held it in her
hand aud hesitated, One may go to
State prison for breaking the seal of a
.'etter addressed t another. But Regina
argued that no one would ever know.
That all was fair in love and war.
kWho knows what the little sly-boots
may be up to," she said to herself; "he
was devoted to me before mamma asked
GOLDSIKHION, C, WR ON ESP A Y, SEPTEMBER 2,
her here. Aud if she is casting her nets
for him, I must know it." Then she
cut the edge of the letter very carefully
with a tiny, pearl-Lau J led knife, and
the letter lay open before her. She read:
"Dear Bessis Miv I call vou so? 1
have tried to tell you!;jw I felt "to yoil so
often, but there sea.ns n t opportunity for
me on your aujt's rev'e;ition evenings.
"On Thurs lay, unites yi-n sitid mo wori
not to come, I suth call o.i you particularly,
i caunot endure this suspense much longer.
"Yours Devotedly, ' Kov King.''
Regina read this letter twice, Hashing
with wrath as she did so.
Then thrusting it in her pocket again,
she flew across the hall to her mother's
room, and shutting the door, locked it
behind her, much to that lady's aston
ishment. "You startle one so," said Mrs. Ram
seu, who was trying on a new frizette at
the mirror. "Really, you should culti
vate a more dignified manner. Tall
people should never My about like whirl;
winds as you do, and I am sure Roy
King would be dis-jimed if he saw you
like that."
"Oh, mamma!'' said Regina, testily,
"don't preach, i've come to you for ad
vice. Somehow, no matter in what par
ticular way, 1 have discovered that Roy
King, who has seemed to every one to
come here lor my sake, who certainly
did admire me, ha3 been bewitched by
that little snake, Bessie Benton. He in
tends to come here on Thursday to sec
her, to propose to her, mamma, and I
T
Here Regina threw herself on the sofa
and burst into lars.
"I am so fond of him, and he is so
rich, and I'm so bitterly disappointed."
"Perhaps it is all your imagination,
Regina," said Mrs. ilamscn. "How did
you learn all that?''
"You had better not ask questions
about that, mamma," Regina auswered;
"please accept it as a fact, and tell me
how to prevent Roy King from seeing
Bessie next Thursday."
"My dear, Bessie shall not .cee hiiu
here next Thursday," said Mrs. Ramsen,
stepping bacic to get a belter view of
the new frizette. "I'll manage that."
That very evening she called Bessie
into her room aud thus addressed her:
"My dear child, you have been here
for nearly six month-, and I suppose
you are tired of being idle."
"Idle!" Bessie thought, remembering
that she had played the part of seam
stress, chambermaid and errand-girl,
without thanks or wages.
But she said nothing.
"And of course I've been looking out
for you," Mrs. Ramsen went on, "and
you have quite a talent for dressmaking,
ana Madame Fieure wants a young lady
some intelligent person who can speak
French, as you can aud she'll give
board and a eouple of dollars a week at
first, and you'd better go to her; in fact,
I've written that you would. I'll take
you myself to-morrow. Of course you
are only my half -sister's orphan not a
close relation aud you "
"I understand," said Bessie. "I
shan't claim relationship, and I am very
glad to be independent."
There was some scorn iu her tone, but
the haughty lady who listened did not
perceive it; and meanwhile Bessie was
saying to herself:
"Roy King has not written. If he
was not iu earnest, aud was only flirting
with the little poor relation of the house,
I shall be glad to get away."
As she packed her trunk a few tears
fell upon its slender contents. It seemed
so hard to think that no one loved her,
that they were glad, to get rid of her,
but she went away next mornmg cheer
fully. "I sat up nearly all night to finish your
lace cape, Regina," she said, on parting
from her cousin. "I hope you'll like it,
and if any letters come for me please
send them to Madame Fleure."
She noticed that neither of them asked
her to call.
"They are ashamed of their poor rela
tion," she sighed, never dreaming that
Regina could be jealous of her Re
gina, whom she thought so stylish and
beautiful.
How Regina laughed to herself at the
request Bessie had made about letters,
and how charmingly Mrs. Ramsen re
ceived Roy King on Thursday.
"Bessie had gone home," she said,
"to her native village, you know.
fancy there is a romantic attraction
there some nice young farmer, I be
lieve." And Roy King listened and believed.
He was very much in love with Bessie,
bat as he walked away he strove t con
quer the feeling. Bese had given him
to understand that she could not lik
him, he thought, and had told her aunt
to let him kn .v why.
For a few weeks he went nowhere,
looked at the moon am sighed. Then
he began to call at the Ramsens again.
Meanwhile, Bessie worked hard, cried
a little at night, and of course received
iio letters.
"Who will be au angel and stay a
leetle late to ripe this robe?" Madame
Fleure asked, one evening; "it is to be
made over with velvet. Ah, how I de
test to make over. But Mees Ramseu is
a good customer, and when she get mar
ried, as I su:);ose to Mvestatre King, zen
I have her work. It is politic to oblige
one who will be rich. You, Miss Bes
sie, you will be so amiable to stay ?"
"Oh. yes," rep'ied Bessie. She sighed
as she took her cousin's dress in her
hands.
So she was to be married to Roy.
Well, happiae's was given to some peo
ple, sorrow t) others. It was God's
will.
How well sho remembered that robe.
Rogima had worn it, that happy day
when she Bassie, ran to the box often,
hoping to find a letter from R3y. What
a oream it all seemed. She thought of
it a3 she sat alone iu the work room,
.snipping the stitches.
A letter never came, never would come
now, and suddenly, as though fairy-tales
were true, there lay a letter in her lap.
The dainty envelope she hal dreamed
of, her name in Roy's hand, his seal
upon it.
"Am I crazy?" she cried. Theu she
recognized the fact that the envelope
had fallen from the pocket of Kegima'3
dress, and that it had been opened, and
trembling with excitement, she read it
through, kissed it, and hid it ia her
bosom.
"How cruel of her!" she sobbed.
"She had it in her pocket wheu I passed
her on the stairs; I know it now, but
Satan has deserted her, and she has left
it. here for me to find. And at last I can
right myself with Roy."
It was hard to sit still and rip Regiua's
dress arter that. But she did it, and
only when her task was done did she sit
down to answer her letter.
She told Roy nothing of Regiua's con
duet, and only said that slje wished to
explain that by accident she had only re
ceived his note that day.
But Roy understood the situation.
And so, iu a few hours, he was at her
side whispering words that made her
very happy.
And before many weeks were over,
Regina, opening a delicate envelope that
had just been dropped into the post box,
uttered a loud, angry cry, and tossed
the cards that it contained toward her
mother.
"Impossible! Roy King and Bessie
Benton!" the old lady cried. "But what
is this written below the names?" She
put up her eye-glass and read aloud :
"The letter that she watched for came
at last." Family St P,n,er.
Can Preserve rrutt t-our Years.
Executive "World's Fair Commissionei
Ezra Meeker, for Washington, has got
hold of a process for preserving fruit in
its natural color and condition which,
he says, will make Washington's fruit
exhibit the most novel at the Fair. It is
thought the preservation process will ap
ply to vegetables as well, and the com
missioner says he will try it. David
Hummou, of Fillmore, Andrew County,
Missouri, brought the secret to Washing
ton. He is visiting his brother, William
Hummon. He showed a Ben Davis that
was three years old, and a Willow Tsvig
apple which he said was picked in his
Missouri orchard in the fall of 18S7,
nearly four years ago. The fruit looked
almost as fresh and eatable as on the day
it was picked. Hummon 3ays the invenl
tor of the process, which is a chemica
one, is a man named Conrad Hartzell, of
St. Joseph, Mo., e former neighbor. He
saysHatzell, until recently, did not real
ize that the discovery was worth any
thing, and had used it for years to pre
serve his own fruit through the winter
aud following summer without thiukiug
much about it. Hummon brought a few
apples to Washington to show his broth
er, and from a neighboring rancher the
news reached Executive Commissioner
Meeker. President Thomas F. Oakes,
of the Northern Pacific Railroad, while
here a few days ago, agreed to carry the
entire Washington exhibit to Chicago
free of charge. Chicno IkrM.

crazy-cloth scarfs.
There is a material sold in the dry
goods stores called crazy-cloth, or cotton
crep. It comes in white, yellow, pale
blue, and pink. Any of these shades
can be used for scarfs to throw over the
back of a chair, around a pictuie-frame
or easel, or drapery for a mantel. Now
I will tell you how to make your -scarf
more decorative.
Cut the leugth you wish the scarf to
be a yard aud a half or two yards and
hem it on all four sides with a hem au
inch wide. Above the hem draw out
four or five threads all around. If you
can draw well enough, draw in outline a
branch of leaves, or get a pattern stamped
in some fancy store. Outline over the
drawing with colored silk or cotton in a
color that will look well with the color
of the cloth. The pattern need be only
on one end, but may be on both. It may
be as elaborate as you may care to make
it, or a very simple design. Hurper's
Young People.
HOME-MADE FEIIFUMEUY.
A practical chemist says that within
the last twelve months he has taught
perfumery making to several women,
some of whom learned it only for amuse
ment, while others mean to apply it to
the purpose of money making. Women,
he says, are becoming much interested
in this subject, and are better equipped
in every respect than men to make suc
cesssful perfumers. One of the most
important requisites is a nice seuse of
smell, which is possessed by the majority
of women, as their olfactories have not
been dulled by smoking. Women, as a
rule, love flowers, and are fitted for the
delicate manipulations required iu the
work, five-sixteenths of a drop too much
or too little often materially changing
the odor. The field is a wide one, for
pure cooking extracts are difficult to
obtain, and the making of them also
offers a chance for the enterprising
woman. A point on which the chemist
dwells particularly is that the work can
be carried ou in a parlor as easily as in a
laboratory, as it requires litle space aud
is exquisitely clean. Bonton llera'. l.

FASHION NOTES.
Dark reddish browns will be fashion
able in the fall, and are very becoming t(.
brunettes.
Blaik leather, embroidered witl.
plants, shells and beetles' wings, is new
for day gowns.
Russian leather belts, with the wear
er's monogram, will he worn by fashion
able young ladies.
White stockings have been revived ii
Paris, and an attempt is being made tc
make them fashionable here once more.
Fine lace is now used on children's
clothing, even point and Venetian. Col
lars, capes, yoke3 and waistbands are
garnished with it freely.
The newest shirt waists are of ahot
surah either with or without polka dots.
Other pretty blouse and shirt waists
are of white Iudia silk figured in flow
ers. The little folk of Paris are wearing
sashes up under their armpits, bulging
sleeves and three-caped collars. Some
times a Russian belt mounted with ole
silver is seen.
Black velvet ribbons are used on cham
bray and lawn gowns, organdies and
muslins as girdles, bretelles, rosettes,
shoulder knots, around the neck in points
and hanging from the belt in chatelaine
ends and loops.
Dainty ami handsome cotton dre3SC3
in delicate colors, trimmed in various
fashions with white or tinted Swiss em
broilery, rival iu beauty gowns of sum
mer silk. They are greatly the vogue,
and the more elaborate are used for the
most dressy occasion?.
Batiste gowns iu cream, pink and
ecru, barred, striped, flowered, dotted
and bordered, are very popular this year.
The bodice of these dresses is usually
more or less elabjr it., and the skirts ar
draped over soft silk petticoats of the
same shade as the batiste.
Those who have street-sweeping gown
skirts with frayed edges, that can only
be repaired !y b -ing cut oil, will be glad
to know thai late advices fro:u Paris state
that uol only must the trailing street
gown go, but that it is already going.
Oue of the most modish of garments
is the white cloth waistcoat, fastened
with tiny gold buttons. With a dirk
gown it gives the whole costume a fresh
and dainty look. By rubbing it with
pipe-clay as olten as it, is worn it can be
kept "looking like new."
Beautiful summer tiuts are introduced
in many of the imported gowns of black
net, lace ehilTon and grenadine; for ex
ample, black crepe tie ' Chine is softly
draped over a skirt of Marie Antoinette
matelasse silk brocaded with small brill
iant flowers, and the foot of the skirt is
edged with a ruche of the fringed silk,
showing a delicious combination of the
exquisite shade of the flowers in the silk.
A Coin-Collecting Cat.
There's a cross-eyed cat in a certain
Main street orug store. Like some other
homely creatures, the cat is remarkably
intelligent, and tiie storekeepers have
not been slow to turn its sagacity to ac
count. Iu this, as in other drug stores,
the people around the soda fountain are
continually dropping their change on
the floor. The cat has been trained to
skulk about the soda fountain, and to
run, c:dch and swallow all coins dropped
by customers before they can pick them
up. Of course, the customers can't de
maud the money of the druggists; in
deed, they seem rather amused ci tho
cat's strange appetite for metal, not sus
pecting any design in it. Every night
about 11 o'clock, just before closing for
the night, the druggists administer a
powerful emetic to the cat, which prei
cutly disgorges a quantity of coin, the
amount on hot days sometimes reaching
1 or 5, which is credited on profit and
loss. There are few cats that can thus
earn $23 to $05 a week, and the owners
of this cross-eyed animal very naturally
value it highly B'ltfalo Courier.
An Echoing Auditorium.
An eohoiug audience room is a subject
for a scientific architect. Ordinary archi
tects seldom discover the cause of the
defect. If the room has no gallery, it is
quite likely such an addition would
greatly improve it as au audience room.
Well padded carpets, cushions, chande
liers properly hung, all help to destroy
echoes In one case the placing of a
large organ back of the pulpit made a
great improvement in the speaking
qualities of the room. In another case
the addition of two large chandeliers,
and in another the suspension of a neatly
festooned rep curtain near the ceiling,
just back of the central chandelier,
remedied the defect. In another instance
a large canopy, a few feet above tha
preacher's head made a marked change
for the better. Xew York Disp dch.
