WOOED, WON AND WRECKED,
Three Scenes in the Life Of Lovely but Un-
fortunate Woman.
Sc ENB l.

"What bright, beautiful world it Is"
half sighe1 Nellie Vaugl an, as leaning
carelessly over the gate of her fathers
Garden she surveyed the fair landscape
that spread itself before her.
And bright and beautiful enough the
picture was without doubt, she herself
forming perhaps the fairest part Of it,
with her graceful, 1.-the figure, her soft,
dark eyes, and bright, golden hair.
AT least so thought Arthur Mowbraw
as he came quietly through the orchard,
his eyes fixed with look Of passionate
aGoration upon the girl who in less than
a month he hoped to call his wife.
Nellie was looking straight before her,
with dreamy, far-away look in her
beautiful eyes, and did not hear the APP
prUsch OF her stlianced lover; but when
he spoke she started violently, and q
half-frighteued, half petulant look fit
ted acIGs> her fair face Is she turned to
snswer his greeting.
"Why, what were you dreaming
abs ut, Ncllie"' said Arthur. "Gou
seemed lost in though. ~ came up"
al was tar enough away from here
Just then, answered Nellie, rather ao-
strsctedly.-
zone would almost think that you
Wished to he away from here" said
Arthur, a cloud ob<curing his handsome
face, as he looked half tenderly, half
suspiciously at his beautiful faucee.
Nellie coiored, and WAS about to ans
wer hastily, when checking herself
with an effort, she said, without looking
at him: "Of course l did not mean
that. How foolish you are, Arthur!
But let us 60 in; fancy heard Auntie
calling me just now"
And without waiting for an answer
she ran lightly toward the house, leay-
ing Arthur, with a troubled brow to fol-
low her or not, as suited him best.

What the New Stamps Cost,

allow much do you suppose the new
stamps cost the government:' was asked
the other day by Assistant Postmaster
General Hatton, writes Washington cor.
respondent. "You don't know, but III
tell you-just 9 Is cents a thousand. They
cost the contractors more than that. The
plates, paper, printing, perforating, and put
ting the mucilage on is worth something:
then they must be packed and done up in
high priced envelopes. Halt the postoffices
do not call for more than loo stamps at a
time, but they have to go through the same
routine as in filling an order OF millions for
New York. 1t costs them more than they
get" "Where is the profit in the contract"
l naturally asked. fright here" was the
answer. "All the countries on this cont.
nent south OF us have their postage stamps
made in this country. They prefer the
concern which supplies our government.
This is the American Bank Note Company
of New York. But they pay from five to
ten times the price we pay, and they tin>::
no fault. There's where the profit comes
in from making our stamps. 1t is the only
way to secure these other good contracts"
People have wondered often why the gov.
eminent, with its great bureau of printing
and engraving here in Washington, is al
ways underbid by outside parties in the
stamp and postal note contracts. Perhaps
they mill see more clearly after reading the
above paragraph.
