rim of the horizon, Pizarro McGinness,
Earl of Blue Island Avenue. leaned list
lessly against an ash-barrel, and as the
street-car rocked idly at its mooiings, a
cold. cynical smile lowered like last
weeks pie around his finely-chiseled
lips, and in the azure depths OF his eyes
there was baleful light that told all
too plainly OF some terrible resolve
perhaps to 90 to work. A hen fiuttered
through the back yard of the Castle
Mulcahey, and dead horse threw all
the surrounding harmonies into a minor
KEY.
Still the horse-car moved not, and
Pizarro was equally motioGless. From
over the dashboard the Duke of Galway
cast a fierce, contemptuous glance at
the young man, but he needed it not.
Jay-Eye-See champed the bit inpatient
ly, and ever and anon struck viciously
at the earth with his iron-shod hoof.
Brought up on all the luxuries of the
season, including a Kentucky pedigree,
the noble animal would i'll brook re-
straint, and once aroused, his passion
was terrible to behold.
At last the sound of a clear, girlish
voice broke the silence, and an instant
later the Lady Constance Clancarty,
daughter of the proud Duke, emerged
from the castle. Shooting with one
wave of her hand a large flock of geese
from the front yard, she walked in a
stately fashion to the gate beside which
Pizarro was standing. Then, for the
first time, she saw her fathers street
car, and as her glance fell for an instant
on that piratical craft a shudder passed
over her lissome form, and into he1
eyes there came a startled, fear-haunted
look, like that with which the fawn re-
CARDS the hunter or the dry-good' clerk
a wash-bill.
But it was too late to retreat, nor in
deed, had any such idea entered the
lady's head. Walking up to PizarrC
she looked at him with a look that
spoke only of love, and before he could
tell which foot his corn was On was
walking with him in the direction of the
street-car.
Father" said she, stopping directly
in front of the Duke, Il love Pizarrc
McGinnis, and, God willing, will one day
be his bride. Have you aught to say why
this should not be?'
''Divil an aught,' was the reply, Tex
cept that he is wan av thin joods."
In an instant the blood had left the
face of Lady Constance, and she stood
there as pallid as marble statue. ''Pi

low, haggard tones.
And why not?" queried the Duke il
a sneering manner.
Because" she answered, bursting
into a storm of sobs, ''he has inherited

His Dead Brothers Wife.

An exceedingly sad and romantic story
of misplaced love has been discovered
by the visit to Flushing of young man
from England in search of his sister.
Four wears ago resident of White
chapel, London, brought to his house
in that quarter young lady and lovely
bride. He was tradesman of consider
able means, and no match could have
been happier. His bride was a girl OF
bewitching beauty, tender affection, and
amiable disposition. But this bride had
not been willingly won. At one time
during their courtship he thought he
possessed her heart, but after their en-
gagement she met the youthful scion OF
il noble house. The youthful Lord, for
he was an Earl's hopeful, was beautiful.
His family expected his pretty face and
curly hair and white hands and aristo-
cratic swagger to bring back by mar
riage what they had lost by several gen
erations of extravaganza.
How pretty Jessie Hart met the young
Lord does not appear, but when they
did Jessie thought she would be a grand
lady. After little love making, how
ever. they had a bitter quarrel, and
Jessie returned to her old love again.
He had been constant. Burning with
rage she became William Miller's wife,
Soon the Tilted sutton told Jessie that he
really meant to have married her and
that he loved her still. Jessie finally
consented to elope with him to America.
Less than year ago q little quiet and
sad-faced woman came here and engag-
ed rooms in crowded house in Madison
street. She showed traces of great
beauty in early days. Her name was
Mrs. Jessie Miller. Though she paid
her rental regularly she seemed to be
in want and burdened with sorrow.
The mystery of her life she never told.
Two months ago she disappeared as
suddenly as she came. but the visit OF
Mr.. John Miller revealed the story. He
is William Miller's brother, and is the
agent of the British Cattle Importing
Company. He came to New York to
purchase cattle and to effect the sale OF
horse called Prince Charlie. By some
means he heard that a lady of the de-
scription of his brothers wife lived in
this village, and he came to take her
back to the old home. 1t was reported
last night that he found her living in
seclusion at milestone. Her former
husband died two years ago.-Fiussing

New Pastimes for Ladies.

A Gotham scribe to the Syracuse
Journal writes: Frogs have long been
considered a delicacy with gourmands,
but it is new for ladies to think it a
sport and romance to catch them, or
better, perhaps, to spear them. The
poverty of amusements in several vii
lagos near the city, made a resort dur
ing the summer, suggested to some en-
terprising woman the idea of going out
in the evening with her jack lanterns
'frogging' with spears, or pitchforks
tied with ribbons. 1t is said that ut
first the ladies could not keep from
screaming when they saw the big frogs
on the logs, or in the bullrushes. and
would throw down their implements of
torture and run some distance, but af-
ter second sober thought 90 back to
face the enemy under the instruction
of a native frog-hunter. The popular
style of 'frogging, however, has been
to 90 in boat with jacklights in the
bow. The frogs, attracted by the
lights, come from their hiding places,
give croak, and all is over, as rib
boned spear dispatches them. Some
times the ladies fish for frogs, using a
hook baited with red flannel, and say
that well-mannered frog cannot resist
the temptation of swapping at this
much-esteemed color. 1t is predicted
that another season frogging' will be
immensely popular at the inland water
ing places. The mania for water tur-
ties with the fair sex is another novel
caprice The smaller the turtles the
more they are priced, and are deemed
sufficiently pretty to be carried about
in ornamental silk bags on the arms of
the owners. A young girl returning
from Richfield Springs had dozen or
more diminutive turtles in a box which
she played with, pulling their tails and
legs, and throwing them about as she
emptied them on the table, where they
scampered industriously to her infinite
amusement and pleasure. "

Before the extensive use of steam
boats on the waterways around Stock
holm the Dalecarlian girls were accus-
toned to come to the capital in great
numbers to row passenger boats from
point to point in the neighborhood OF
the city. This custom still exists 10
some extent, and the visitor may be
rowed by buxom peasant girl
to an island restaurant, or across
the arm of the lake. The girls
have lost none of the moral indepen-
dence and the remarkable physical
strength which have since the beginning
of Swedish history distinguished their
ancestors. In the large cities they are
found to-day mixing mortar, carrying
burdens, and rowing boats quite as cas-
lily as the men, and quite as acceptably
to the employers.
Miss Regina Anderson, the young
girl rescued from the Mormons at New
York by her sister, says her home near
Stockholm. in Sweden, was visited by a
Mormon missionary, who painted to her
in the most glowing colors the advan-
tages she would derive from exchang-
ing her humble lot for home among
the Mormons He told me, she says,
s'that the weather in Utah was always
pleasant, that every kind of fruit grew
in the streets, and that nobody lived
there but rich men, great many OF
whom were unmarried and wanted
wives. He told me that husband was
awaiting me among his people, and
said he owned big coal mine, lived in
a palace, and owned dozen carriages
and great stable full of horses"
About two years ago the Rev. Josiah
Bean, of Edgecomb, Me-, being some
what of a geologist, in some of his walks
about the little town discovered evil
dences of the existence of mica, COM
monty known as isinglass. Since Mr..
Bean and many others have gone extern
sively into the business of mining for
mica, which has been found in large
quantities and of the best quality. Be
Gently also another important discovery
has been made in this region. Excel
lent feldspar in large quantities has
been discovered. This substance is
used extensively in the manufacture Of
porcelain and chinaware. The result
of all this is that every farmer in Edge
comb is drilling holes in his rocks, and
the price of real estate is rapidly going
up. As the cost of mining the feldspar
is less than 81 per ton, and it sells
readily for from Sc to 50, the prospect
of a handsome fortune seems to be
assured to many whose farms have
heretofore been regarded as worthless.

A Fair Offer.

1t happened in Illinois. A burying
ground had been sold by the town, and
time given for the removal of all the
collins. The purchaser finally took pos
passion, and one day, while engaged in
blowing, he suddenly appeared before
the village shoemaker and said:
Henry I've just plowed up the bones
of your father, up there"
''Eh! Is that SOP"
"And what shall be done with 'em?"
"Well, | dunno"
'I'll tell you what I'll do, Henry I'll
box up the bones and bring 'em down
here for a dollar, or I'll pillow 'em under
as fertilizer and allow you fifty cents
on what you owe me-"
''Well,'' replied the shoemaker, after
taking time to think it over, Il guess
you may credit me with fifty cents, but
if you find the bones of the old woman,
too, shan't take less than seventy-five
cents cash for the heap.-WaU Street

Couldn't Stand It.

The Mulberton and the Ginsley fam.
lilies are near neighbors. They live in
the suburbs of Austin. There is, OF
should be, bond of unity between
them, for they are both very slow and
deliberate in spending money: Both
of the families mentioned keep very fru-
gal tables. Mrs. Mulberton thought il
would be a fine stroke of policy to send
her children over to the Ginsley man
sion just about supper time. The re-
suit was very satisfactory, for the next
time the ladies met, Mrs. MulbertoD
asked:
''Why don't you send your little dears
over to my house every evening""
Il couldn't think of it. They come
home hungry as wolves, and would cal
me out of house and home if they were
