oh ! a cIgar,'' said Belmont; that
would never do for poor man.
And, oh horror he produced an old
clay pipe, and filed 1t from blue paper
of tobacco, began to smoke with keen
relish. ihasf
Dinner dinnerl' he exclaimed at
length. thank you, mother, Tm as
hungry as bear. Goldfish and potatoes,
Julia. Not very tempting, love, but
what of thatp our aliment Is love.v
Yes, and seein' as how you've
brought me home a darter," said the
old woman, "I've gone and bought
whole pint Albany ale and three cream
cakes from the candy shop next block"
Poor Julia pleaded indisposition, and
did not eat mouthful. Before Bel
mont, however the Goldfish and potatoes,
ale and cream cakes disappeared with
very unromantic and unlover-like celer-
ity.
AT the close of the meal laundering
double knock preceded the entrance of
beer brewer man in green waist
coat
Now, Mister Belmont" asked the
stranger, are you ready to go worrnk
Be the powers if L don't see ye, to-mor-.
row saited on the bench, I'll discharge
ye without carakter or a recommend,
and then yell starve."
"Who is that man-that loafer,"
gasped Julia when the visitor had
gone.
e My employers tailor-and I'm
journeyman tailor and bushelmaD," }"
said Belmont.
Well, Julia, how do you like love
in cottage ~ asked Belmont, entering
the lady's room.
Mot so well sir, as you seem to do
borrowed plumage."
"Very we'll, you shall endure it no
longer. My carriage awaits your orders
at the door"
"Your carriage, indeed ard your
mother Y''
"I have no mother, alas! The old
woman down stairs is servant in the
family. 1t a melancholy fact that am
rich, worth q million of dollars"
Then you have been deceiving me,
Frank. How wicked'
But she endured fortune after all,
and presided with grace at the elegant
festivities of Belmont Hall, her hus-
bands seat on the Hudson, nor did she
ever open her lips again about "Love
in Cottage"

studying their customs. That Is, they
all did except one lady. The ladies called
upon the Indians and the savages re-
turned them almost before the ladies got
to their rooms. One lady called on
chief, and then went to her room and
retired, and pretty soon there was a
knock at her door, and she found that
1t was the chief She told him to come
In the morning. The lady unlocks her
door In the morning so that the porter
can come In and build the fire before
she gets up. She heard knock in the
morning, and supposing 1t Was the por-
ter, she said. "Come in" The door
opened and In walked Mr.. Indian. She
took one look at him and pulled the bed
clothes over her head. He sat down on
the bed and said a." Howl Well, she
was SO scared that she didn't know
How" from Adam. She said to him
in the best Sioux she could command.
Please, good Mr.. Indian, go away until
I get up," but he didn't seem to be in a
hurry. He picked up pieces of her
wearing apparal from the floor, different
articles that he didn't seem to know
anything about where they were worn,
and made comments on them in the
Sioux tongue. The stockings seemed to
paralyze his untutored mind the most
They were these long, 80 degrees in the
shade stockings, and they were too
much for his feeble intellect. He held
them up by the toes and said "Ugh !"
The lady trembled and wished he would
go away. He seemed to take great de-
light In examining the hair on the
bureau, and looked at the lady as much
as to say, /" Poor girl, some hostile tribe
has made war on the pale face and taken
many scalps." He critically examined
all the crockery, the wash bowl and
pitcher, but he was struck the worst at
corset that he found on a chair. He
tried to put it on himself, and was so
handy about it that it occurred to the
lady that he was not SO fresh a delegate
as he seemed to be. Finally she happen
ed to think of the bell, and she rung it
as though the house was on fire, and
pretty soon the porter came and invited
the Indian to go down and take drink.
The lady locked that door too quick, and
she will never leave it open again when
there are Indians in town. She says her
hair on the bureau, fairly turned gray
from fright.

Didn't Know How to Take Them.

TIE was on his way home from Lead
L vile. He had on ragged old
summer suit, bad hat, and he had been
taking his meals about thirty hours
through.
"Yes, like the country out that
way" he replied to the query. "The
climate is good, the scenery fine, and
some of the people are as honest as needs
be. The trouble is knowing how to
take the bad ones"
81 should think that would be easy"
was the reply.
6 Yes, it looks that way, but 1 had q
little experience. 1 am the original dis
kiverer of the richest mine around Lead
ville."
sis that so 20
eyes, sir, am the very man, though
you wouldn't think it to see these old
clothes"
"Then you don't own it now?"
''Not bit of it. I'll explain: 1 was
poking around on the hills and found
signs. collected some specimens for
assay; staked out claim and went off
to the assayers. 1t was two days before
he let me know that / had struck the
richest ore that he had ever assayed, and
then hurried back to my claim. Hang
my buttons If it hadn't been jumped !"
"How p"
"Why, gang of sharpers had found
the spec and built up pole shanty and
hung out sign of First Baptist Church
over the door. Sure as shootin' they
had, and the law out there is that no
miner can sink a shaft within 200 feet
of church building. They saw me
coming, and when 1 got there they
were actually holding revival There
was jest six of 'em and they got up one
after another and told how wicked they
had been and how sorry they were, and,
would you believe it they had the
cheek to ask me to lead off in the sing
ing. 1 went to law but they beat me-
three days after the verdict the First
Baptist burned down, and before the
ashes was cold the congregation was de-
velopin' mine worth over q million
dollars. You see didn't know how to
take 'em."
"Was there any particular way of
taking them?"
" You bet there was! ought to have
opened on that revival with Winches-
ter rifle and given the coroner fifty dol
lars for verdict that they died of too
much religion

How Did the Dog Know the Way.

IN the current number of the Popular
i Science Monthly there is very inter-
esting article, which details the expert
ments made by certain Ohio physicians
to ascertain whether the faculty which
some animals possess of returning to
their homes by nearly direct course
after being carried great distance by
circuitous rOut is to be attributed to
scent, memory, or any other ineligible
cause. Everybody, of course, is aware
of the fact that cat may be put into
bag and taken ever so far away from its
accustomed hearth and by ever so round
about journey, and yet turn up again
in due time at the old place-its ability
to get back being apparently limited
only by insuperable physical obstacles.
The subject of the Ohio experimenters
was dog. The way they went to work
and the result is thus described
A dog was made insensible with ether
at Cincinnati, put into wicker basket,
started on train of the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad, first southwest to
Danville Junction, thence east to Crab
Orchard, and finally northeast to
hunting rendezvous near Berea, in Mad
ison county. This circuitous route was
taken because on a former occasion,
when the dog had returned from point
100 miles distant from his home, it was
suspected that he might have found his
way back by simply reversing his course
on the railway by which he had come
At Berea the dog was shut up securely
over night and well fed. The next morn
ing he was taken out to clearing on
the top of grassy knob at some dis
tance from the railway, and let loose
Without any preliminary survey he
skunk off into a ravine, scrambled up
the opposite bank, and struck first on
a trot and then swift gallop,not toward
Crab Orchard, /. e., southeast, but due
north, in bee line for Cincinnati. He
ran not like an animal that had lost its
way but like horse on a tramway,"
straight head with his nose well up, as
if he were following an air line toward
a visible goal. He made short detour
to the left to avoid lateral ravine, but
further up he resumed his original
course, leaped rail fence and went
headlOng into q coppice of cedar bushes,
where they finally lost sight of him.
The report of the experimenters was
forwarded to the owner by rail and on
the afternoon of the next day after re-
ceiving this report the owner met the
dog on the street in Cincinnati, "wet,
full of burrs and remorse, and apparent
ly ashamed of his tardiness."
