Tkx Ckktau Courxxr, 77 Mubjuy Strut, New Yoaa. "Oh, did you see how swift it came, How swift it came like sudden flame, That smile to me, to only mc, The little lass who blushed to see?" Bessie Milward had thrust the last jeweled pin in the elaborate coiffure of Miss Havemeyer, clasp ed the clumsily set old necklace of diamonds, which was au he r-loom in the Havemeyer family, around the rather scrawny neck presented for its reception, aud now drew back with a little sigh of relief that her task was finished. It was the eveuiug of Shrove Tuesday, and Miss Hilda Havemeyer was arrayed tor the Mardi-Gras ball. "How do I look? ' she asked aux iously ot Bessie. ''Dazzling !" replied Bessie. The one word of reply was accu racy itself. Hilda did look dazzling, simply that. She rose with a satis fled smile, and regarded herself in the full-length mirror that stood between the lace-diaped wiudows. The reflection therein was that of a tall, erect, wellpreser ved woman of forty, attired with a youthfulneas of shade and style that detracted not a little from tbe dignity which should have given her years a charm of their own. Her gown of pure white silk might have been worn more tuitably by a girl-graduate or a debutante. It contrasted quite unkindly with tbe portion of Drown skinned arm, visible between the glove aud shoulder puff'. She had once been handsome. Her features were regular But a certain rigidi ty now characterized them, and the hues about the corners f the mouth and eyes were becoming distinct. Her complexion had been artisticaU ly applied, but not so artistically that the art was quite concealed. Tbe studied simplicity of her dress was belied by the profusiou of jewel ry she . wore. Bracelets, chains, sprays, brooches, all adorned ber person, ludeed it would seem that not one of the famous Havemeyer jewels could have been left within the old silver jewel-case. The pink bloom of her cheeks, the brilliance of her gems, the anowiuess of her gown, the glowing crimson of the great bunch of roses she carried, all combined, had induced Bessie's per' tineht criticism- "I do look wel,'' she said, with satisfaction, and dairy, dear Har ry, alwaysliked to see me in white." Bessie winced. She remembered when her pareuts were living, aud her father, a man of weaith and position, that handsome Henry Lonnsber ry was a frequent visitor er day, when he invited me to tbe ilerdi Grae, ball, 1 have not seen htm since he went to India, tive year ago. Go down like a good child, and keep him in talk till I come.1' I ? Ob, no I" protested Bessie. Hilda turned ou her quite a blank and incredulous stare. "Why uot? " she-demanded. Bessie crimsoned. Why not, in' deed ? "You remember him, of course," said Hilda. "II I do not mistake he used to visit your father frequent- 'y-" "Yes,1' answered Bessie, vaguely. She was forgetting her position, I she toid herself, bitterly: She was paid to do what she was told. She was only a dressmaker, who went? out by the day to worK. Her cousin, it is true, never ackuowldged the re lat'onship before her household, aud paid her no more thau her ordinary charge ; But Bessie made herself useful whenever her services were needed, and played maid on oeea sious like the preaeut, with a dex terity and a t-kill which Hilda, if she did uot requite, luwardly recog nized and appreciated. "Go down, theu. I au afraid my complexion is a shade too too healthy. A pretty pallor is consid ered iu better taste nowadays. Don't you think so !" "No !" respouded Bessie, quickly, "I don't !" But Miss Havemeyer was anx iously busy with the powder-putf'. A' lieu she laid it down, she took up uer gloves. "I declare1;3' impatiently, "I al ways forget this awkward riug !" She hastily die the bauble iu ques tion from her tiuger, and put it on the mamachile slab ot her dressing' case. Bessie took it up and slipped it admiringly on one of her slim, white little fingers. She turned her baud ao that' the stoue, a large blue sapphire, would catch the light aud sparkle. How delightful it was to be rich like her cousin Hilda, and possess such exquisit things. It she were only rich again! But oh, the tiresome routine of cutting, basting and sewing ! She grew so utlera bly tired of it all. In her reveiie she quite forgot the err and assigned to her. Miss Havemeyer's sharp aud angry voice recalled her to herself, "Have you forgotten I told you to go dowu aud entertain Mr. Lounsberry, while I am gettiug these horrid tight gloves on V she demanded. Beseie Mi I ward slipped off the ring, laid it down, turned, and went out of tbe room and dowu the thick, ly carpeted and sotrly lit stairway. The gentleman in full eveuiug dress, sitting in the long, luxurious draw iugroom, rose as she glided in. It was with an expression deferential but bewildered that he faced her. VVheu aud where had he seen her before, this sleuder little lady, gowned softly as a ihrush, with the pale sweet face and great, timid brown eyes, and soft, dark hair, and gentle, sensative rose-lips'? Suddenly he remembered. He strode across the room. He held out his hand. "Is it really little Bessie" he queried. living." "What ! ' he cried.

Bat I'll find it, I will, or if I don't, 77 buy you another " This assertion was so absurd in view of the value of the trinket in question that Lounsberry roared out laughing. The outcome of tbe affair was that Bessie took an indiguant de parture : that. Teresa was dismissed iu disgrace, and that Mr. Lounsber ry paid no more visits to Miss Have meyer. One day, several weeks ia ter, Bessie received a note from Hil da. "Dear Besik : It seems that horrid girl told the truth, for cook found my ring un der the refrigerator to-day, where It must h:ive rolled. 1 Lave half a dozen new dresses 'to make, and no one fits me as you d I wish'you would come and sec me about them. ours sincerely, "Hilda Havkmever " This was Bessie's uote of reply : "Dkar MiiS Uavemkvkk: I am sorry I ennnot oblige you, but I am too busy with my trouMtnm: 1 am to marry Han v Lounsberry on the twentieth.

A feminine figure standing by the dressing-case start ed as she entered. "Oh, how you scared me, Miss Milward! I thought you were Miss Havemeyer." And the housemaid withdrew her hand from her pocket, wherein she had hastily thrust it on being dis turbed. "Onlygl, teresa. Have you seen my hat and wrap ? Thank you." Teu miuutea later, she was out in the street, and walking forward the corner where she was to take her car. The spring night was bright, clear, and almost warm. She felt no sensation of fear. But she had had a tiresome dav. and by the time she reached the home of the old nurse witn whom she boarded, she was looking very white, weak aud fagged, ".You are tired, dearie,"' Mrs Bui uam said. "This lite is too hard for you " For once Bessie's bravery failed her. She broke down iu passionate womanish crying. "Yes, it is too hard," she said. But the next day she was her own bright, busy self again. Ail day long she worked on a dress he was remodeling for Miss Havemeyer, and that evening fche took it home. She rang the basement hell. Teresa, who opened the door, stared at her in a frightened, half resentful way she did uot uuderstaud. She nod ded pleasantly and weut ou up stairs, intending to carry her parcel straight to the room of the mistress of ihe house. As she passed the portiered library, however, voices, aud the eound of her own name, brought her to a standstill. "It does seem almost incredible," Hilda's smooth accents ran on, "that with her birth and bleeding. Bessie Milward should be a thief! But she was the ouly oue iu my room after I left last night- Just before she came down to speak to yon she put on the ring and was ev identlv admiring it very much, says Mr. Peffer, "all the different Though 1 have made and have had j j farmers' organizations of the county made the most thorough search, 1 1 except perhaps the patrons of husb have failed to see or hear of it since, j andiy aud all the labor oigamaa Bessie must have stolen it !" lions including the Knights of La That was all and more than Bes! br expected to be represented, sie could stand.
