"There He Is, Mamma"

The Boyd Opera-house was filling
rapidly. A trio of young men had just
assembled to the landing of the marble
stairway and were approaching the
flight which leads to the entrance, when
a young lady, richly attired and accom-
panied by matronly lady, exclaimed:
"There he is, mammal The three
young gentlemen turned. As they did
so the elderly lady approached, and, ad-
dressing one of them, requested him to
step with her to the reception room.
Within the room, the matronly lady
said: 'Mr. Nolan, 1 an delighted to
see you, and desire to cancel a debt of
gratitude for which I have long been in
arrears. My daughter tells me it was
you who saved her life some years since
in the mountains of Colorado. She
thought she recognized you at the hotel
to-day, and now she is positive you are
the man, indeed. If you will kindly &C
cept this little souvenir of my apprecia-
ton of your exceeding hero:sm you will
place me under even more heartfelt
gratitude"
Mr.. w. H. Nolan is not a bashful
man because he is lawyer and Chi
cagoan. Nor is his modesty of that
Omahan nature which would prevent
him from wearing the beautiful solitaire
diamond which he feelingly accepted
on this occasion. If the gentleman at
all faltered, it was because of the lam
gushing effect the young lady glances
had upon him, presumably because Of
the proprietary right exercised over
them by gentleman present who was
introduced as the young lady husband.
The scene was short one, and upon its
conclusion all adjourned to their re-
spective seats in the auditorium.
Seven years ago Mr.. Nolan was pros
pecting in the mountains. He was
climbing circuitous road to mining
camp, when a runaway horse, to which
chung a frightened and powerless lady
rider, and which had run away from a
party of equestriennes and their es.
certs, came galloping rapidly toward
him. At a bend in the road both rider
and animal would have been dashed to
destruction a thousand feet below. At
the risk of his life he reached tho bride
of the horse as it was flying past him,
and, in a short time, brought the ami
NAL to his knees. Both horse and rider
were saved. The party and escorts soon
came up and bore their member home.
Mr.. Nolan had not time or inclination
to accompany them and pose as reseuer,
and consequently continued his jour
ney. He soon staked beyond the d.
vide, and never heard whom he rescued.
After years of absence and separation,
all the parties met here as transients,
as above related Omaha Bee.

what he said, while he paced the floor
agitatedly.
It's the best wish you can give me,
though you don't know it, said Teddy,
bitterly, too, for he was i'm his way con-
scious of the meanness of his action,
although he felt justified in having done
it. 81 couldn't understand that she
was taken up with you entirely, and if
l had guessed it at that time-well, I'm
glad didn't, for the Lord Himself
knows what might have happened.
The ould dad used to be always telling
me that was raving, and raving was
about her, and it's been the sore trial
for me to learn that was the cause OF
making her sorry in the midst of her
splendor.'
Maurice could not speak. Something
in the mans voice and manner touched
him, and much as he had formerly
laughed at his patriotic rhodomontade,
Maurice saw nothing ludicrous in him
just now.
"And, MASTER" Teddy went on,
gruffiy, "they tell me you took up the
case for me and that it was you that got
me off, and that 1 ought tj be grateful
to you. But can't-it only makes me
hate you the more. That's all now,
and l want to get you out of my sight"
Rude as his words were, and gruff as
his voice sounded, Teddy was choking
with shame and regret. Maurice
grasped his hand and gave it vigorous
shake.
u understand, Teddy, you had rea-
son to hate me, and l have still better
reason to hate you. But 1 must see you
when we are both cooler; at present l
want to see Miss Cuthbert."

News of a most EXTRAORDINARY ser

News of most extraordinary series
of tragedies comes from Hungary. A
man, in a fit of anger, struck and killed
his daughter, girl of tender years.
The mother, who had been in an adj
joining room engaged in bathing her
babe, rushed to the assistance Of the
dead girl, and in her absence the babe
fell into the bath and was drowned.
When the mother found her youngest
dead she fastened from the house and
hung herself to tree, and the husband
finding himself the sole survivor of the
family, Immediately shot himself
through the head.

The Strawberry for Home Consunp-
ton.

Every head of q family who has ten
rods of land at his disposal should
raise strawberries enough to supply his
own table, for this is fruit that must
be ripened on the vines to secure it in
full perfection, and when fully ripe will
keep but a few hours. He who is
obliged to purchase this fruit after it
has been transported several miles, gets
equality of fruit that would not be eat
en- BY one who has become accustomed
to eat only the thoroughly npened fruit
from his own garden.
This fruit is so easily grown and re-
quires so small space to grow it in, il
is very strange so few grow it. On or
binary soil a single days labor is suffi-
cient, with the exception of picking
the fruit, to grow strawberries enough
to supply large family. As it is the
first fruit of the season, it always meets
a glad reception from both old and
young of all classes, even though it be
but half ripe; but when fully ripened
on the vines, and eaten shortly after
Seing picked, is surpassed by Blu: few
fruits of the earth.
Three or four rods of land will fur
nish fruit enough to supply q large
family with all they desire during the
ripening season, providing the vines are
properly set and well cared for.
Prepare the land as early in the
spring as it will work wen, and set the
plants before the first of May. Late
set plants do not do so well. In setting
the plants do not eramp the roots, but
with a trowel dig good sized hole, at
least five inches deep, dropping the
roots in so they viii assume . natural
position; never crowd the soil hard
around the plants but use only gentle
pressure; be careful also to leave the
central bud above the soil; many plants
are ruined by covering too deep. II
the plants are full of large fresh leaves
most of them should be cut of, that
the evaporation shall not be so great.
As to varieties, there are so many new
ones that are claimed to be the best that
it is very difficult 70 decide what may
prove to be the most desirable.-MaSsa-

The whistling craze is spreading
among the women of Texas so rapidly
that it is now estimated that not less
than thirty per cent. of the entire fe.

birds. A young lawyer recently went

She gently withdrew her hand; there
had been no pressure on his part or
hers. On ringing the bell Mrs. O'Bryan
appeared.
"You may tell him to come now,
mother"
Mrs. O'Bryan disappeared; and
presently the handle of the door was
turned hesitatingly, and Teddy, the
patriot, entered. He looked crest
fallen; his red hair, which used 90 be
like tangled mop, lay close and lank
on his head, as if he had Just come out
of a water-butt; his complexion was
sallow, and he had the manner of one
who is penitent against his will.
"Come, Teddy said his foster-sis-
ter, kindly taking him by the arm; '.you
are to remember your promise to me,
and you are to tell Mr.. Calthorpe how
it all happened. He will not ask you to
say much"
With that she bowed to Maurice and
returned to the inner room. As the
brown curtains closed behind her,
Maurice felt as if the place had become
dark.
"Come, Teddy, what is you have to
tell me?" he inquired, presently.
Teddy moved his shoulders as if Civ
ing physical expression to an ugh" of
disgust with himself.
THAT letter." he muttered between
his clenched teeth, and in a tone that
was half sulky, half savage, yet indie
ative of pain of some sort.
What letter?n
Teddy groaned and swayed his body
like one in nightmare struggling to
get free.

one you sent after leaving us-the one
she ought to have got"
