'Onlva Milliner's Girl.'
BY AMY RANDOLPH.
Uow it ramed, that blek winter
night! How mercilessly t lie tor
rents came down, rebounding in
sheets of spray from the pavements
and swelling the gutters i:i minia
tare rivers! Through the whiten-j
iug mist the shop-windows flared
dimly and the yellovc stars of the
street-lamps shons like beacon
lights far out at sen. There were
not many pedestrians on Droadway
that night, save those compelled hy
grim necessity to face the ntorm ;
and Gay Jloreau, striding down the
western hide, had the light of way
all to himself.
"There's no hurry, 110 hurry in

lie stopped short at the sound of
a slight scream, closo to him. A
shabbily dressed young girl carrying-
a lead of oil-ck th-sbieided
bandboxes had slipped on a piece of
banana-rind, almost at his feet.
Gay Moreau made 110 pretensions !
to the rank of a Chevalier Bayard
but he had a kindly human h?att
within his bosom, and stepped in
stantly forward to help the young
girl up.
"Not hart, are you?" he asked,
kindly.
The girl looked at him with big
eyes full of pain and terror.
"My bandboxes?'' faltered ihe,
glancing eagerly around. "They're
not wet, are they ?"
"No but you are. Look at your
shawl, poor thing !''
"Oh, that's no matter," said she.
"It was very awkward of me to slip
so, and
"What's the matter now?" Mo
reau asked.
For she had stopped short in the
attempt to move forward agaiu.
"I'm afraid my ankle is sprained!"
she wailed. "Ob, dear, what shall I
do ?"
"Sprained, is it t (Confound those
people who eat bananas and fling

"Ob, no, sir ! ' shrinking back. "1
couldn't afford a hack. I'm only a
milliner's apprentice, and all these
hats mnst be delivered before nine
o'clock to-night."
Guy looker! reflectively down at
the band-boxes, theu at the pale,
pretty fac?, with its dark, Spanish
eyes and lashes sprinkled with rain.
"I'm afraid you'll hardjy manage
ir,v said he.
"But I must !'' said the girl, posi
lively.
"Can't you lake 'em back to the
shop?"
"It's closed for the nieht, and
madame wonld never forgive me for
not delivering the hats. I I think
I could walk very slowly."
But as she made the effort her
cheeks blanched once more with pain
and a low cry involuntarily escaped
from her lips.
"No," said she, 'T can't walk. Oh,
what shall I do?"
Guy knit bis brows and consider
ed a moneut.
"How far from here do you live T'
he asked.
"On Bleecher Street ouly a 1 i t
tie way but the bats !"
"Don't fret about the hats," said
Moreau. "I'll attend to the hats,

then ! Not too fast !"
Guy Moreau had never beeu in a !
working woman's room before, and
as bo stood on the threshold, he
could but marvel at the aspect of
utter destitutiou that prevaded it.
A little girl who wa3 making artifi-

souud of their stepa.
"Ob, Nelly, are yon hart !

"It's my little sister," said the
girl turning to her conductor. "We
live here together. Ob, sir, I am
very much obliged to you !'
IJ it when Guy More.u wa3 gone,
old Mr?. Macrabbin, who bad come
ujistairs to rub Nelly Knox's ankle
with camphor, shook her head
gloomily at the recital of the even
ing's adventure.
''Wasn't he kind f And a per
fect stranger, too." eaid Nelly, ran
diantly.
"Poor dear ! 7 said Mrs. Maerab
bin, 4iWh;t da you know about the

'Well," said Mrs. Macrabbin,

And sbe rubbed away harder than
ever.

"Youug man," said Mrs. Pether-
ick, sonny, "what do you mean by
leaving a white-tulle hat here with
a wateiMily and three sinful plumes
cn t ? Da I look like a person who
wears water-liiies and marabou V
And Guy, who was walking,
wbiltling, away, after leaving his
last bandbox, stopped shortly at the
old lady's shrill voice.
"Hello!" said he- "Pee left the
Petherick hat at St. James's," and
the St. James's hat at Petberick's.
I must go back."
"should think so,' said Mrs.
Petherick. "In my days, errand-men
attended to their business 1 Nine
o'clock at night, and my new black
velvet hat, with the satin bows, not
come home !"
'I'm very sorry, ma'am," said
Guy.
"Much difference whether you are
sorry or nor,-' said Mrs. Petherick,
leveling her blue spectacles wrath
fully at Mr: Moreau, "You must be
a very presuming yonng man to
have any opinions at all 011 the sub
ject. I beg that you will set this
awkward blunder right at once, and
I shall most assuredly report it to
Madame Dunoyer."
And Mr. Moreau had no alterna
tive but to trudge back again
through the blinding rain to Mis
ilonora Sr. James'3 brown-stone
residence.
"The milliner-s man again !" said
Miss St. James, sharply, "Well, I
should think ! To leave me a dowdy

Nelly, with a quivering lip. "1 am

"It's not chanty," asseverated
Mr, Moreau. "1 need new shirts,

"But four dozen !"
"If 1 wanted fourteen dozen I've

Besides, I've some notion of firtiiig

"Yes , but "

"What siz am I to make them ?"
Guy looked a little puzzled at

"Make'em four different sizes,

Macrabin. "Put up in a watered

I carefully read the rote over

"Say tint I will come."
A few minutes later, and I stood

"Mr; Ilajes, you sent for me.''
"1 did, lieutenant ; and it was be

to please order the gnard to move

I gave command to the guard to

Mnch as I Jove Seantor Vance
and cherish State pride I did not at
rend the. Jackson bauquet last night
and hear the Senator's very humor
ous speech. He is thus reported la
a city paper :
Senator Vance, of North Carolina,
in answering to the toast, "Andrew
Jackson, a citizen and an Ameri
can," made one of the witty speech-
I es for which he is famous. He eaid
that Andrew Jackson was either
born in Unieu county, N. C. or so
c'.jse to it that ne derived from . it
all the virtues for which the section
is famous. Alter being born there
he removed to Tennessee, "ihe
daughten of North Carolina," lor
the three Presidents Teuuessee has
civen to the country Andrew Jack
son, Jatm-s K. Polk and Andrew
Jackson were bora iu North Car 01
lina.
"Whether thn art of creating
Presidents ia denied to North Caro
lina 01 not," said Mr. Vance, "there
is no doui't it is a happy breeding:
place for persons who move away
anJ aspire to greatness, and I may
be excused from saying that had I
gone to some other State like Tenn.
essee I would have overshawed the
other citizens that there is no tel
ling what I might have become."
Continuing he said there was two
kinds of greatness greatness that
is written in books and sang iu his
tory and the greatness that is kept
alive by tradition in the hearts of
the people. Measured by tho latter
Andrew Jackson will be found to be
one of tlii greatest, if not the great
