A RsAantic Story.

Forty years ago there lived In Providence
within q stones throw from where Grace
church now stands, young man of great
intelligence and wonderful mechanical abil-
ity. who spent q small fortune In the vain
attempt at making perfect representation
of Russia iron, and after as many failures
as attempts in this undertaking he became
utterly ruined flnascislly. His ambition for
the secret increased as his fortune grew
smaller and smaller, and when absolute
want stared him in the face he became pos
sessed with the determination to accept OF
the only means of obtaining one OF the great.
est secrets in mechanical art, and to gain
this he must suffer penal servitude In the
dungeons Of Russia.
The rulers of Russia are the only possess
ors of the art Of making what Is known as
glazed Russia iron, used extensively for all
kinds of stove and stove pipe work, ana
which has for nearly century been made
within the walls of Russia's underground
prisons. None but lite convicts are allowed
to be initiated into the secrets of the manu-
facture of one os the principal means OF IN
come to the Russian government, and whe1
once within its walls no one need ever hope
for pardon, for none has ever been granted,
while but one has been known to have es-
capped, and when the door Is once shut to
the outside world it is never known what
has been the fate Of the unfortunate.
This, then, was the Providence mans last
resort for gaining possession OF the secret
which had become his only ambition. lie
| left his home ior Europe, and the simple
ruuor of the attempted assassination OF the
Gear by an American supposed to De insane,
was all that was ever known to his friends
of what became Of the ambitious mechanic,
and, as nearly half century has ratified on
since he set out upon his perilous undertak'
ing, hardly person living will remember
the Circumstance which is here recorded.
There is one person. however, in Providence
who remembers we'll the day the hero OF
our sketch bade her fearful farewell,
promising that before she reached her
twentieth birthdays be would return to her
and fulfil his promise.
All through these long years she has never
forgotten her promise to wait for her lover,
nor ceased to believe he would yet come to
her She now lives within moments
walk to the chimes of Grace church, and is
lstill we'll preserved, and her grace and
beauty make her more attractive than many
whose years are the same as were hers when
her lover separated from her so long ago.
Last week she received the glad tidilgs
from far away over the water that be who
had SO long kept her patiently waiting was
on bis way to fulfil his promise of forty
years ago, and let US hope be may bring the
secret he paid for so dearly, and that he
NAV live to see some reward for his great
t sacrifice .-'.Providence Press

what They Rejoice Over.

II say," said a business man to Hawk
eve reporter yesterday. "What Is 1t the
Democrats are going to have joli6cation
meeting about to night at Union Hall ~
"Why they elected eight Congressman in
Indiana two years ago. and now tney elect
but FIVE. I suppose they rejoice to think
that they have saved the fve."
"sho but isn't there any other reason
than that"
"Well, um, yes" said the reporter, "two
years ago they had l7,262 majority,
and now they have perhaps 900 or 1000
majority. l suppose they rejoice to think
the Republicans did not gain over $4,000 or
16 600 votes"
"Nonsense," said the business man,
"there's nothing in that for Democratic re-
joicing. Isn't there really, now, something
else to justify a jolidcation meeting to-
night 2"
"Well-er-yes, l guess SO ; there's Ohio.
| Governor Hayes carried it last year by
,544 majority. The Republicans carry it
this year by 5000, and gain five or six Con-
gressmen. I suppose the Democrats re
joice that they didn't lose any more Con-
gressmen and that the Republican gaini
were no larger"
son, hang your foolishness. There must
be some reason or other for the Democratic
rejoicing. I'd give dollar to know wha
it is"
"Now you talk" said the impecuious re
porter. "Gimme the dollar" and leaninl
over, he whispered in the in4uirer's ear
They are rejoicing because Hobbs 60
back?"
But the reporter didn't get the dollar
; and the conundrum. What do the Demo
) Gratis find TO rejoice over! still remains ur
answered.

She Wouldn't Speak to Him.

When young Chicago man came down
stairs the other morning he remembered
that his wife, who was preparing breakfast,
had not spoken to him when he got up, and
so he cheeriully said: "Good morning, lit
tie lady"
Not a word came in reply.
"Good morning." said be again, in a
higher key, thinking that she might not
have heard him before.
"Um-'m-'m," was all that escaped
from her sealed lips, as she kept on with
the work.
"Why under the sun don't you answer
me 2" exclaimed he in surprise ; "whati
the natter What have done to offend
yous"
"Um-'m-'m," was still the only sound
elected.
sLook here I" then exclaimed the hus-
band, as he jumped up and knocked over
cup of cotiee II don't swallow mouthfu
Of til. breakfast until you tell me what
| the matter.'
"Wbat's the matter!" echoed she, sud
denly turning upon him with flashing eyes
