MAMIE WELLS WHITE HAIR.

was invited TO lunch party in one
Of the inland cities of Pennsylvania,
not long ago, and was much impressed
by the appearance of one of the young
ar ladies present. She was not beauti-
full, but united the striking character
iStics Of brilliant, fresh complexion,
and profusion of hair, white as snow,
after the fashion of Mldrazo's "Mar-
quise," belonging to Mrs. A. T. Stew
art. She was very merry, good talker,
and, must confess, l contrived to oc-
cupy the larger part of her attention
with that tendency towards mOnopo-
lizing the best which the moment af-
fOrds that am told is often observed
by my familiars.
After bidding adieu to the ladies, !
turned to the Obliging friend who had
been my sponsor at these incidental
gayeties of -, and casually remarked,
after talking somewhat Of M new ac-
quaintance: ---.-..-- -----
"By Jove, what hair! 1t accents her
whole appearance. Wasn't she lucky
10 achieve it yOuHgp"
My friend removed his cigar.
"That depends on how you look at
it. L am inclined to think, taking
things by the large, that she was. |
doubt, however, if she wouldn't say
to-day, that the price was rather large.
And it was pretty big price. Do you
like stories? I'm minded to tell you
one, if you like, about that white hair
you admire 30 much"
We went over to the hotel and some
thing like this my friend told me:
YOn have no idea, you city people,
the interest we country people take in
the cOurtships Of young folks. From
the time Harry Wells began TO sidle
up to Mamie Clausen at church socials,
until their marriage in the First Pres
.byterian church, the entire commu-
nifty gave minute consideration to their
affairs. Mamie's father, John Clausen,
was and is now prominent commits
sion merchant generally considered
wealthy, and has always lived at least
like q Enan of means. Mamie was
pretty, dashing, local belle, and a
great favOrite. Harry's family lived a
few miles from town, and they, too,
are people Of reputation in the county.
Old Jack Wells represented us few
times in the legislature, and has accu-
mulated in one way and another a
handsome property.
The marriage was in every way
suitable one. Harry was educated at
Princeton, and although he had at one
time the reputation Of being wild, he
had sobered down and was at any rate
such frank, manly young fellow that
lhe was generally forgiven any indiscre-
tiOn.
AS Isay, the marriage was the &C.
cssiOn of general rejoicing. Mamies
father gave her an unusually good send
of, and the details were sent far and
wide through the state. Harry had
studied law, although he didn't have
much inclination for it, the old man
thinking his political experience might
serve Harry in that way, and had set

closets, looked under the bed, and piled
the chairs against the locked door. The
rain was still falling heavily and the
night black as ink. The mistress and
maid went to bed. and, although wor-
ried and anxious, finally went to sleep.
After midnight Mamie found herself
awake and bright light shining in
the room. She started up and saw that
it was moonlight. The storm had
cleared away at last. She got up, un-
able to compose herself immediately
and went TO the window. AS she stood
looking at the peaceful scene before
her, she saw, way down the road, for
it was as bri2ht rs day, several horse.
men. 1t was such an unusual sight at
this hour that she stood watching them
as they came nearer. To her surprise
they turned up the lane leading to-
wards their house and on reaching the
gate came into the yard. Now, almost
paralyzed with fear, she saw that they
were masked. The truth almost blind
ed her. They knew that she was alone,
that she had this money and they had
come to get it. For a moment she
Harry's last words; "You must guard
it with your life if necessary"
She ran to the sleeping Sarah and
awakened her. She got down Harry's
rifle, which he had loaded and taught
her to use. The sleeping girl was soon
thoroughly awake, and she explained
to her their condition.
"It's the tramp that's done it,"
"The tramp. No. Sarah, the key,
the key of the attic"
She flew up the stairs, unlocked the
paddock and opened the trap. The man
sprang up at the sound.
"Come, come with me-" His own
senses alert, and hearing the noise of
horses below and steps about the
house, re followed her without word.
at the foot of the stairs she stopped.
81 have large sum of money in
the house and those men have come to
get it, thinking | am alone. If they
kill me the money must be guarded"
"What have you, pistols, shot-guns ?"
he whispered, taking in the whole
situation.
"Here is my husbands riff 1t is
loaded"
"Hist. Where are they going to
break imp" The steps came boldly on
the piazza to the front door.
"Get behind me. will fire at the
first man who enters. How many
barrels are there?"
"Six, all loaded"
"Very well. Keep this cane in your
hand for me in case need it,"
There is no storming of shutters.
They heard the key applied to the door
softly. 1t opened, and man followed
by two others, confidently entered.
The first figure walked directly to the
stairs. He had taken but step when
three shots came in rapid succession.
There was heavy thud; this man
dropped, and the other two turned and
fled. Sarah ran to the window, and
two horses galloped down the lane.
"Don't faint, madam; there's work
yet to do" said the tramp.
Mamie caught hold of the rail for
support, and then went into the room.
"Get candle, Sarah"
They lighted candle and gave it to
the tramp, who went down stairs, the
two women followed with brandy and
ammonia. The man had fallen back
ward, and lay with his face up and
head toward the door.
"Raise the mask and give him air
first, madam"
Mamie raised the mask, and fell
back with wild shrek.
"Do you want to know why her hair
is white? ?" he asked.

"You Oughtn't to leave him minute
alone Sarah. Go down and watch him
and / will come down and send him
off"
She dressed herself quickly and went
down stairs, surprised to find how late
it had grown. When she reached the
kitchen she found also a messenger
with another telegram which an
nounced another disappointment, but
he next day without fail, Harry wrote,
he would be home. AS Mamie turned
into the kitchen she heard the tramp
and Sarah in evident dispute.
"Yes," said the fellow, "when that
time comes your mistress will have
another ironing table, helping you, in
stead of wearing her Sunday clothes
every day."
can spoilin' everything for me to
do over. l think | see her. I've work
enough to do" answered honest Sarah,
not disposed to have chat over her
work.
Mamie found a graceless-looking
fellow, unshaven and addressed, who
with certain gentlemanly instinct
rose up as she came in.
81 suppose my girl told you we had
nothing for you, and that it will be a
great kindness if you will leave as
soon as possible"
"Yes. she did just that, madam, but
took it upon myself to believe it
wasn't so urgent. The truth is, I'm
very hungry and dead tired, and 1
didn't believe but that you would give
me something to eat; at least, I've
waited to ask you in person."
Women are soft-hearted creatures.
Mamie went and got him something to
eat, herself. The darkness that had
been increasing for some time came
down rapidly, and there burst one of
er so suddenly and with such force in
this country. After its strength was
spent-and / remember that it was
the most violent of the season-there
fell steady sheets of rain that brought
Rock creek over the bridges before
morning.
'Madam, it's no use talking. You
can't mean to send a fellow out in
such a Storm" said the tramp, as the
three stood on the porch watching the
storm.
'I'm sorry, but I've no place for
you"
what, in house like this? It's a
pity there isn't Granny for a stowa-
way. was walking around it, waiting
for the girl, and it seems to me it
ought to be able to hold three people,"
"YOu are very impertinent. 1 tell
you L have no place for you, and the
storm is already breaking away"
AS she spoke even the rain came
down in binding sheets, and lightning
streaked the heavens.
"Well," he said, carelessly, "we don't
go much On manners on the road, but
l know L wouldn't send dog out such
a night as this. I'm not particular
chap, leastwise, nowadays, and I'll
have to insist on your giving me some
sort of shelter if it's only your dog
kennel"
The man spoke with decision. Mamie
felt that after all they were really in
his power, and possibly it might be
worth while TO do civilly what she
would probably have to do at last.

she said. There is loft to the house,

the manager ordered the ticket agent to

that nearly three hundred persons were

some reason the seats were not securely

three instances broke down under the

no serious accidents resulted, though
