A Living Curiosity.

Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Elzea, from
Mexico, Mo-, says the Rails County
Record, the parents of the wonderful
limbless child, are visiting Mrs. Elzea's
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John T. Brown,
On Tuesday evening we went out
with DIR Hendrix to see this greatest
living curiosity. The child is just a
year old, robust and healthy, with a
splendid head and fine pair of
large brown eyes, and is unusually
bright and intelligent. He is perfect
ly formed except as to arms and legs,
Legs he has none, whatever. His arms
are developed to half an inch beyond
the elbow, the elbow dimple being
plainly visible near the end. They ter
inmate in a smooth, round end, on one
of which there is a warty-looking
growth, evidently an attempt OF nature
to form finger. The little fellow has
remarkably good use OF himself, and
seems as light-hearted aud happy as a
bird. With the stubs of arms he can
turn a chicken bone about 10 his mouth
till the meat is cleaned from it. II a
small coin is placed upon the floor, he
will roll himself to it, and pick it up in
his mouth with the greatest dexterity.
The parents are rather sensitive con-
cerning their child's Incomplete de
velopment, and protest that they
will never consent to place him
upon exhibition, though they have al
ready received several tempting offers.

wheels, as the carriage progressed
toward Cattling. They crossed the
railroad, and turned to the north again,
the sun slanting warmly through the
windows, then entered the old wooden
bridge, spanning wide, frozen river.
Having arrived in town, Clarice first
dispatched her message, then went
about some errands. When these were
done she returned to the telegraph

With nervous haste she opened it

Il am happy, Aunt" said Clariee,
impetuously.
1t seemed to her the great house had
never looked so beautiful as now, with
its evergreen wreathings, its luxury,
it's parted curtains, where the sunlight
entered and blessed with abundance.
She realized what nome it had been
and what had been Miss Channing's
goodness through all these years. A
goodness not to be set aside or forgot
ten through any cause on earth. Come
what might, she would be grateful and
honest.
But first she must sec him. Come
tomorrow! Come tomorrow, quickly,
when she should see him-on Christ
mas eve!
But how to meet him? She had
not thought Of this. The visitors were
expected in the morning. Robert
would not suffer from any embarrassing
encounter unless Uncle Rowland
should chance to arrive also by the
same train-that of early evening. She
hoped the old gentleman would come
as heretofore-on Christmas day. She
had no great love for Uncle Rowland.
His fierce little eyes would ferret
Robert out; his sharp, sarcastic tongue
make note of it to all the visitors. He
might even point his remarks to bring
confusion upon her. She did not fancy
he liked her we'll.
After another restless night, dawned
another day of dazzling sunshine. The
carriage, sent down to meet the guests,
returned with merry crowd of six,
one of the gentlemen riding outside.
Clarice was sincere in her welcome of
dainty-blonde Myra, and rosy-cheeked
Nettie and Nell, fresh from the life and
light of the great city. She had
pleasant words and cordial for the
young men. Lunch was waiting with
all they liked best. There was good
skating on the river, and sleigh-rides in
prospect. There was new billiard
table to be tried. In the evening there
would be singing and dancing, and so
she thought, said Clarice, they might
manage little sport.

her coffee with dainty grace.
And Bob Mcclure" put in Charley
Fielding.

keene, glancing up from his salad.
NO." said Miss Charming, serenely,
Il have not asked him."
In the interval of silence. Myra
glanced furtiyely at Clarice, but the
girls face was utterly placid, even
smiling without flush or culver.
Il was mistaken" thought Myra.
"She does not care for him."
Clariee was thinking very hard
thinking how she could manage to see
him that night. He must not DO kept
waiting until the morning-he, who
had come SO far at her merest calling.
No, she must and would see him, il
she walked miles to do so. An hour later
she had written note and dispatched

whom she arranged other errands.
After that she found herself joyous o,

ing on the river.
At dusk the train from the city came
laundering into Cattling, and young
man alighted, passing quickly through
the station and crossing the road to the
depot hotel.
Having engaged room, with fire,
he discovered letter awaiting him
1t was from Clarice and contained but
a few words. He took it up into his
room and there sat reading by the cyl
inder stove. God bless her." he said,

was ashes. "Ashes of roses!" he said,
tenderly, and his hand sought the
pocket next his heart, where the little
package lay, of rose-dust.
He went down after little and took
cup of coffee; then he obtained
horse and clumsy cutter, in which to
drive to the school-house.
Not bad horse, he said to himself,
though little skittish at moments.
He wished there were bridge this
side of the railroad trestle-work, so
that he need not cross the track in
town and recross mile beyond the
river. However, he enjoyed the crisp
air and the pure, delicious moon-rise.
The lights of the town twinkled family
behind him; the distance widened. He
was soon out ON the open road beyond
the river He had reached the railroad
and was sweeping swiftly onward, when
the horse SHE'D at an empty freight
car upon a siding, and, breaking from
control, dashed into snow-bank. But
the boorish little cutter did not over
turn, and, Robert, clutching tightly the
reins, brought the animal, after a
moment, into a moderate pace. They
went on SO, and slackened by and by
at the school house, where in the little
porch stood waiting graceful form,
warm wrapped in long seal cloak,
with wide bonnet framing her
beauteous face.
He sprang to the ground with one
glad cry, one word-more he could not
utter
"Clarice!'
Il knew you would come" she said,
in q voice that thrilled him through
and through.
He tied the horse and stepped within
the shadow Of the porch.

unspeakably good. cannot thank you
enough"
1T was you who were good,' she an
swered gently, ito come as YOU have

II was glad to come, more glad than
can tell, to find that You We're my
friend; that though all else were
changed, you were still the same.'
II want you to believe that" she put
in, eagerly.
II do, 1 do" His voice trembled. In
all my toll, my disheartening luck, my
failures, have thought of you as true,
steadfast. 1t has helped me-
Tears glistened in her eyes. Il an

word or deed, or both. That I should
not, would not, disguise my friendship,
for that were dishonest. 1t is true,
she hesitated; 1T is true that IN,

"That your aunt dislikes me-" he
finished the sentence for her, and she
continued quickly:
"But she has been good to me-
wonderfully good--for l am no kin O,
hers; it would be heartless, wicked
We're ! to speak against her or deceive
her. l could not do so. But why
should I fear?"
"Ah, why?" he echoed, dreamily
Then new energy came into his voice

He drove back to the town-holding
the reins carefully lest the horse would
shy and plunge again down there ut the
railroad crossing; drove, feeling new
strength and purpose in life, new de-
sire for life itself His heart fairly
ached with excess Of ambition. Poor
heart! Sodowncast of late and warmed
only by the rose-lust resting always
above it.
His room was coy after the outer
keenness; he was glad othrow himself
upon the bed and cover his face, to
dream of her by snatches. Would the
time ever come when he might call her
to his arms? When the jewels she
wore, the rich clothing be through him
provided? And all might have been so
different but for the miserly old scoun-
drel who had robbed him with wanton
ayidity. "Scoundrel!' he said, through
his teeth. If ever came chance to re.
pay, vengeance would DO sweet. But
the old villain would live on and pros.

He knew she preferred that he leave
her here. He might have driven her
to her own gate. but he fancied she
wanted to 60 back leisnrely and grow
composed ere facing the glad company.
1t was half-past Z, their usual dinner
hour, when she entered the drawing
room, apparently cheerful. She strove
to do her part, and let none read her
heart; none should know how sorely
she missed the absent. Not one.
As the evening progressed, the old
house seemed to brim with JOY. Here
were swinging footsteps to slow waltz

He went slowly toward it, dreading
to face death he might have pre-.
vented.
Still he could not delay too long.
Heaven knew where horse and cutter
had brought up.
He bent and examined the dark
heap. He was not surprised; he had
known it must be SO, else he would not
have come following after. 1t seemed
only natural.
He had come neither soon nor late.
He was in time, perhaps, aud his enemy
