Joyce's true, womanly heart for
the artificial smiles of Saratoga
belle.
As be folded and sealed it, the
landlady's little boy handed in the
evening mail-two papers and a
letter.
A letter from one Ernest Valdez,
whose acquaintance he had made
at saratoga-an idle, good.humor-
ed young follow, with no harm in
him, and q deal Of latent good.
Mr.. Valdez wrote:
We are all progressing much
the same as ever. We drink the
waters, we criticise the music, we

By the way, you surely haven't

Mrs. Montague has come back;
the 'daw in borrowed feathers
has been stripped of her gay
plumage, and Miss Gushington
Gordon, with her imitation dia-
monds, and second. hand sirs and
graces has disappeared entirely
from the arena.
Some sayshe has been arrested;
others declare that Mrs. Montague
has forgiven her, on condition OF
her retiring to her native place,
in an obscure English town. At
all events, she has vanished from
the stage Of action, and the places
that knew her once now know
her no more
Three or four closely-written
pages Of gossip aud clever satire
followed, but Reuben Russet never
paused to glance at these. He
sprang from his chair with an
exclamation of relief.

He tore up the letter of confes-
sion, and went straight to spend
the evening at the Joyce farm
house, and innocent little Pennie
never knew how nearly that sea-
sou at Saratoga had cost her her
lover.
AS for Reuben Russet, he is a
wiser if not a .sadder man. And
be wants no more lessons in
human nature.

NR. RUSSET At SARATOGA,

When the doctors recommended
six weeks at Saratoga to Reuben
Russet, they possibly didn't think
of Pennie Joyce. Doctors are apt
to be men of one idea. Mr.. Rus
sets digestive apparatus was GER
tainly out of order; but little Miss
Joyce's heart-that was quito ano-
ther thing.
Mr.. Russet was young theolo-
gical student, with pale brown
hair, an intellectual face, and a
slight stoop in the shoulders. Pen
ME Joyce was a farmers rose
checked daughter, the eldest of a
large family of children, and one
of those thrifty girls who under.
stand the whole theory and prac-
tice of housekeeping from Alpha
to Omega. To become minister's
wife was a visible promotion to
her, and she exulted in it, in her
quiet way. But to be separated
from him for six whole weeks
that was a trial.
The time will soon pass, my
lovo,' said Reuben, in the slightly
patronizing manner which he
affected toward Pennie.
Yes, I know it will, dear said
Pennie, valian tly trying to smile.
And l ahall write every day
That will be so good Of you 7
said Pennie.
And really, you know, Pennie,
a man whose mission is to reach
the soul ought to have q little
knowledge of human nature
Yes, of course, 'assented the girl.
'And where can one obtain it so
we'll as at one5of these great hu-
man hives where the fashionable
world congregates?

I only wish you were going,

Pennie sighed softly.
OF course that is out of the
question: said she.
Farmer Joyce shook bis head

medical man.

the farmer.
Mr.. Russet went to Saratog'
and took rooms at tashionabl

THE DEMOCRACY EXCITED.
About o'clock the Democrats began to get
encouraging dispatches from New York, and
nearly every telegram raised the pot until by
9 o'clock the general idea among the Bour
bons was that Garfield had not received a
single vote in New York. Their ardor was
somewhat dampened, however, when a dis
patch was received by Rev. }. D. Hammond
from his brother in Albany to the effect that
New York State was % 900 Republican
THE SACK.
1t was rumored in the morning that Sharon
had sent down a plethoric sack by midnight
train from Storey county by Senator Jones,
who had chartered a locomotive to get it.
There were no signs, however, of any of this
that any of Fairs money was in motion other
than had been furnished weeks ago to the
Central Committee. 1t was generally under
stood that Fair and Mackay made coin fight
against the legislative ticket only, throughout
the State and threw their strength solid for
the Republican ticket. Mackay sent tele-
gram to the National Central Committee
pledging the State for Garfield.
THE COUNT.
After the polls closed the Inspectors and
Clerks sat down to a sumptssus spread and
then tackled the count. The following were
the Inspectors: T. K. Hofer, Thomas Roche,
VIM Corbett. Clerks Otto GREENWOOD,
f. g. Zabriskie, Edwin McFadden The
total number of ballots cast was 944, being
12l short of the full vote. The vote stood

Only three votes were challenged during
the day and but enc refused. The one re-
fused was challenged on the ground that he
had offered to sell his vote for $40 and he
vanished around the corner forth with.
AT THE REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS.
As fast as the Eastern dispatches were received
at the Republican headquarters they were
read and pasted up and the news of the grand
sweep Of the Garfield ticket were received
with rousing cheers. The only drawback to
the general hilarity was when Tickner came
in with lugubrious face and said: "Bsys,
here's some bad news, we We lost Kentucky"
Later in the evening Georgia vas posted up
as doubtful and the news was Offset with
three cheers for the county ticket. The
