"AUNT PEN." -75 El Y, dear me, who are you' y,y child not, no you never $$f tonV cried Miss Penelope Glover, shading her eyes with one hand for a clearer view of the slim girlish figure on the low vine covered porch. Yes, I am that unfortunate be being. Won't you take roe in, Aunt Pen, for mamma's sake ! I'll be veiy good," and two slender hands fonud their way in Miss Pen's bar dened palm?. "But what brought you here?: queried the lady. "The traiu," answered Salome saucily. The next instant her mood changed, and tears welled up in the great brown eyes. "It was grandpa, Aunt. Pen. Mamma said you were here, dearest aunt, and tnat if I was ever in trouble to come to you." "Of course, of course ; where else wonld you go but to her old home?" aud Miss Pen gathered the girl in her arms and kissed away the tears. "Graudpa drove me off, and I will never retnrn until that hateful Tracy Chisbolm " - "Drove you off ?" cried horrified Miss Pen. "Not exactly as you think. You know he wants me to marry iracy Ctii8holm, and his high mightiness is coming to see if I will be alto gether unendurable as a wife, I am to be put on exhibition like any other bundle of eooils. It s an out rage I I will not be thrown at any man's head, so I came here, and I hope graudpa will succeed in unit, ing our fortunes,'' and she ended with a little defiant nod that spoke volumes. "Tracy Chiiholmis welcome to grandfather's property perfectly welcome,'' she resumed before be wildered Miss Peu could say a word. "I can work for my living; other girls do." Miss Pen smiled involuntarily, with a glance at the faultless Paris- iau traveling suit and the dainty loveliness of her niece. You need not laugh, Aunt Pen; I can work," eaid the little beauty. But Miss Pen did laugh as she carried the girl to her room. The bare idea of Salome Preston work iog I Salome, who had fed on rose leaves, metaphorically epeakiug, all her young life, with never a care or ungratified wish ! Well, she would keep this wilful child until she tired of the country, and no harm would come of her runaway freak. She would have written to old Mr. Pres ton, telling him Salome was with her, but the girl begged so piteous ly not to betray her hiding place that Miss Pen stifled conscience and yielded to her wishes, hot even tell ing her old father why Salome had come so far all alone. Indeed, Aunt Pen could refuse the girl nothing, she was so lovable, so winsome, so like a human sunbeam in the old house. Any fear that she would prove a troublesome guest soon van ished, for Salome might have lived all her days on the farm, so thor oughly did she enter into tbe spirit of its peaceful life, often declaring it was the very happiest summer she had ever known. A month went by. Then one evening Miss Pen, coming home from the village, found a hack staud1 ing before the gate, aud a young gentleman in a light summer suit, plentifully powdered with dust, walking up and down the shaded taae. He stated that, chaucing to pass by Bill Great the previous day. he had been charmed with its lovely views and evident quiet, and learn ing tbat she took summer boarders, had called to know if she cou!d ac commodate him. References ? Cer tainly, and to Miss Pen's amazement he gave her the name of Salome's paternal grandfather, and completed the matter by announcing himself as no other than Tracy Chisholm, the ward whom the girl had left home to keep from meetiug. Miss Pen's eyes twinkled with suppressed merriment. "My niece married Mr. Preston's son,'' she eaid. 'Tes,7' assented Tracy Ohisholm, "I knew jou were a family counec j lion." "Your guardian is well, I hope ?" "Quite well, thank you." "And Salome? ' hazarded Miss Pen. The genial light died from his eyes and something very like scorn curved his lips. "I the trnth is, I only spest a couple of hours with my guardian, Miss Glover, and I did not have the pleasnre ot seeing iliss Pieston." So, thought Mi s Pen, with a keen appreciation of the situation, he has followed the child's example with out knowing it and ruu away too from that awful old man. Austere and grim, ns all spiusters are supposed to be, Miss Peu had a geuuiue vein of romance in her corn, position ; besides there was every reason why these two young persons playing at cross purposes should like each other, Salome was her grandfather's heiress bnt he was determined to leave her penniless if she refused to marry bis ward, and by the injustice of his father's vi ill Tracy Chisholm could not mar ry against his guardian's wishes without forfeiting his own princely fortune that is before the ripe age of thirty. If only she could introduce these obstinate yonng people without their suspecting each other's identi ty, what mas more probable than they would fall in love aud be hap py. It would be such fun, too, that Miss Pen could not resist, and Tracy was duly installed in the large, airy room over tbe parlor, witu its quaint furniture and delicious coolnes?. Miss Peu, inwardly trembling at her own temerity, introduced the pair of runaways across the supper tible. "My niece, Mr. Chisholm," ahe said, pronouncing the first syllable of his name so low that Salome be- lievt d she had said Holm ; and he, fr reasons best knowu to himself, did not correct the mistake, while Stlome became Mia Glover, just as her wily aunt meant she should. The beginning of Miss Pen's little drama was all she could ask. No man heart-whole could ait opposite that visiou of witching beauty and not become her victim. Perhaps it was pleasant to see a young face from her own world, but certainly Salome hac. never appeared so charming eveu to Aunt Peu's par tial eyes. Tracy Chisholm, watching her in a sort of maze, marveled at her per fect ease of manner and the exquis ite modulations of her flute. like voice. He almost trembled leut the spell should be broken when they went into the parlor aud she took her seat at the little upright piano. The last five years of his life had been spent in travel. He had heard the best singers of the day, and he was fastidious to a fault on the sub ject of music. Could this little coun try girl, lovely as she was, know anything of that divine art ? He might have spared himself the que tion, for never Had a voice more sweet and clear fallen on bis ear. She sang "Bonny Dooo,''aud the "Mocking Bird." There were tears in his eves when she finished, and Miss Pen, watching him, said to herself: "It a a clear case of love at first sight, if I ever saw oue. If I can just keep them both in ignorance. Qoeenie" her pet name for Salome "is actually blushing." For Fome lime she had tbiogs her own way. No two yonog people ever prcceedtd to fall in love more surely than thes?1. They walked, rodf. And sang together. Tracy was the girl's very shadow, and tbe two followed Aunt Peu into tbe kitchen and dairy like a pair of children. But at last the awakeuing Miss Pen dreaded came. They were under the ecuppernoDg arbor huuting the first ripe frui when the boy caaie up with the mail. Salome took the bag and began looking over its con tents, merely, as she affirmed, to teach her ompanion patience. "Aunt Pen's 'Observer, grand father's 'Journal,' '' she read aloud, 'and, what is this?" staring at the innocent letter as if it had been the Gorgon's head. i My letter," said he, forgetting lor the moment that she called him Mr. Holm. "Yours ! Your letter V "Yes," he assented, staring in a preoccupied way at the letter. ''Then you are Tracy Chisholm," she said, in so low and concentrated a voice that he must have known something was wrong, had not hi9 mind been absorbed with the un welcome news he knew this letter brought. "I really wish I were someone else just for a time," he aid slowly. "I will take the paperti and leave you to read your letter, Mr. Ohifi holm,'' and the next moment he was alone. "Aunt Pen,'' cried Salome de- scending like a small avalanche on that lady, "we have been deceived all these weeks shamefully de ceived. This boarder of yours is Mr. Tracy Chi3holm, grandfather Preston's ward. Just think, the wretch ! I do not. believe he stayed one day in eNw York, and I have made a friend of him almost. You will send him away, Aunt Pen, won't you ? I would die of mortifi- cation if ho should learn my real name, I never can meet him again. ? Salome's voice faltered and some emotion darkened her eyes. "Well, dearie; yes, I'll see about the matter," stammered Miss Pen, too mnch npset to decide upon any plau of action, "There he corals now." Salome took refuge in her own room, and when Miss Pen came in to tell her that the mischief-making letter called Tracy Chisholm to the city at once she held up a t-mall hand and begged to be spared all mention of that obnoxious name ; so Miss Pen, thinking she would re lent when the first shock ot discov ery was oyer, left her. "He must go away ; I cannot see him ever again," Salome was saying to herself for the twentieth time when it flashed into her head that Aunt Pen was counting on Tracy Cbisholm'a board to finish paying off a mor tgage of long standing No, she could not ask for him to be sent away, that was clear , but she could go herself and make a long- promised visit to a dear old schooU mate in Virginia. She would re main until the summer was quite over and Tracy Chisholm gone, and hastily slippitig on her traveling dres Salome stole from the house and took her way across the fields to the station. Miss Pen was mix ing cream muffins in the pantry when her boarder came in with the sad intelligence that there had been a collision just above the station and quite a number had been killed and wonndetU "Dear me P fluttered .Miss Pen patting her muffins to rise; "I'll go tell Queenie,'' and off she went. Tracy met her in the hall a moment later ; her face was ashen iu its pal- lor. "I've killed her !' she moaned ; "I've murdered tbe poor mothirless child ! Ob," thru3ting a crumpled sheet of paper in his hand, "do you think she is on that train V "What is it, Miss Pen? Whom are you speaking of ?" he asked. "Queeuie. God forgive me, she is on that tram ; see," and this is what he read : Dear, Darling Aujji Fen I know you would send Mr. Chisholm away to please me, but I know you need the money so roach, and so I am going to visit Alma Hughes. I will return when he gone. I could not see him again after knowing: he is T. C. ; so, for i'ear you might oh!e:t, I am going on this evening's train. Please forward my trunks. Your loving Salome Prestox. "Salome Preston !" he cried, "is she" "Queenie? Don't you see phe is running from you?" wailed Miss Pen, too dhtaacted to be lucid al together. "For heaven's sake, help me get '' But Tracy was remounting his horse and off like the wind. He will never forget that mad ride or rh horrible rear of that hour. If only she was not dead. Queenie, his beautiful darling, to think she was Salome Preston, the girl he had so misjudged. He found her lying a little apart from the wreck with one arm stretched oat on the grass broken, her white face upturned to tho summer sky, mercifully un conscious ot her surroundings and pain. "Queeuie !" he cried, lifting the still form in his arms; "Queenie!" She opeued her eyes. "Darling, did you think yoH could go so far I could not find you?" There was a look of entreaty in iier sweet eyes, the wbitelips quiv ered, but no woids came. "Yes, I know yon are Salome Preston ; my Salorno forevermore." With a little sigh of con' tent she, turned her face against his breast and relapsed into uncou-J scionsnesp. That was their be ticthal ; never another word of ex puliation. Miss Pen, full of thanksgiving that Salome escaped tfith onlv :i broken arm, always comforts herself by spying: "H was not bo bad anyway, for nothing h ss than being brought face to face witn death would have induced Salome to marry Trncy Chisholm, and after all it was fnte." MARAJJ, Monticfllo, Ga. Tbe Speed of Insect. There are many insects which one would little suspect to be furnished with aparatus waited to swift and more or less continuous flight. House-flies frequent the inside ot our windows, buzzing bluguishlv in and out of the room. But what different creatures are they when they accompany your horse on a hot summer's day. A swarm of those little pests keeps pertina ciously on wing about the horse's ears ; quickea the pace up to ten or twelve miles an hour, .still thoy ate there ; let a gust of wind arise, and carry them backward and behind the bieezci having dropped, their speed i- redoubled, and they re turn to their post of annoyance to the poor borsu even when urged to its fastest pace. But this example gives only a partial proof of the flv's power of flight, as follow iug will show : Ihe writer was traveling one day in au tumn by rail at about tweutyfive miles an hour, when a company ot flies put in an appearance at the car-window. They never settled, but easily kept pace with the train; so much so, indeed, tbat their flight seemed to be mechanical, aud a thought struck the writer that they had probably been drawn into a kind of vortex, whereby they were catried onward with but little exen tion on the part of themselves. But this notion was soon disproved. They sailled forth at right angles from the train, flew to a distance of thirty or forty feet, still keeping pace, and then returned with iu creaed speed and buoyance to the window. To account for thi?,look at the wings of a rJy. Each is composed of an upper and lower membrance, betweed which the blood-vessels aad respiratory organs ramify ho as to torm a delicate network for the extended wings. These are used with great quickness, and probably uix hundred strokes are made per second. Thto wonld carry the fly about twenty-five feet, but a sev enfold velocity can easily be attain ed, making one hnudred and seventy-five feet per second, eo that un der certain eircuuistai.cs it can outstrip a race horse. If small insect like a fly can ourstnp a race horse, an insect as large as a horse would travel very much faster than a cannon-ball. A". Y. Ledger.

The recent disturbances among the Indians of the Northwest hav compelled attention to the necessity oi a radical change in our Indian policy. There is no doubt thai we have much to learn from the Dom inion of Canada as regards the rig orous prevention of encroachments by white men on Indiau reservat ion?, and the scrupulous observance of treaty stipnlat:ons concerning supplies ot food and rlothlug. But changes lor the belter in these di reclions, though they are iudiapen ble, would only be palliatives, not remedies, ot the existing difficulties. The true method of solving the redrace problem is to be discovered by a study ot our past dealings with t'je Indian, iu which the arrauge ueut that have failed should ba carefully distinguished from those that have resulted in the red man" becoming civilized and prosperous. Why is it that the Delewares, the Wyandots. the Pottawattamles and the Shawnees have mado such not able progress ami are now for the most thriving and contented? Au dtianysis ot the f ncts will show that iu almost every instance where these satisfactory results have been attained the Indians had been per suaded to abandon their tribal rela tion aud to h1I.it their lands iu severalty. Iu this wy their nomad instincts became gradually extiugnirthod,. and the stimulus supplied b individual ownership begot industry and a relish for the usages ot civilized life. We ought to profit by this experience and make a renunciation of the trival relation and a distribution of landi in severalty essential conditions of all future treaties with the Indians. When the red men Insist upon maintaining the old treaties, under which the lands reserved for them are to be held in common, we niuxr. of course, conform to them. Bat experience has shown that if 'e vtiu the confidence of the Indiau ty treating them' with piinctiliu jus tice, they are amenable to reason, aud cm be persuaded to repUce the old treaties with new onen, provid ing for individual ownership of land. Give the Iodian something to wo k tor, and the examples ot the Dela wares and the other trite men tioned demonstrate that he wil work and raise himself iu the scale of civilization. N. Y. Ltdqer.
