day. Drawing her skirts about her
she retired as far as possible into a
corner seat, and sazed persistently out
of the window. On the opposite side
sat neatly attired young man, with
carefully waxed mustache, very white
hands, and in air generally suggestive
of the clergy. He glanced at the fair
vision in the corner from time to time
In repfoachful manner. She looked
furtivcly at him from beneath her
lashes, and with pretty puckerihg Of
her brow, seemed trying to recall at
which of the summer resorts she had
met him. That his face was familiar
was evident, and tnslly deciding phat
he rightfully belonged to the army of
summer captivcs that had laid their
hearts at her feet, she concluded to end
his misery by recognizing him. He
was well dressed, apparently well bred,
and undoubtedly belonged to Murray
Hill So, turning with a little start of
recognition, their eyes met and she
Bowed stifily. He seemed delighted,
and changing his seat To her side, he
said:
You are very kind TO remember
me-"
"Oh, no." she replied, with an air of
polite reserve, as slfe tried to place
him. " recall perfectly the pleasant
occasion on which we met"
A few commonplaces followed, and
emboldened at his success, the gentle
man said gravelyas he produced a pink
tinted card:
4 hope you will permit 'meto call
upon you again. / shah be happy 10
serve you"
She glanced at the card, a wave Of
color swept over her face, and drawing
down her vel she jerked the strap, and
bounced out of the stage with the
precipitancy Of a batted baseball.
The address upon Che card read. "H.

upon the window of the engine house on
Abercorn street. The hremen were

second stroke, but none sounded. On
looking about they discovered Kenny,
and approached him. In response to the
inquiry what he was doing, ne adihitted

VALUABLE PILE.

How the Ballast Heap of the Bark
Eraucesco is to be Disposed Of-Too
uipb an Appraisal of South American
Relics.
The ballast heap Of the Italian bark
Francesca. discharged some time ago at
the dock between Abercorn and Lin
coin streets, is still matter OF con-
siderable interest. 1t promises to prove oil
little profit. pecuniarily, however, either
to the purchasers or parties IN the CITY
who have taken pieces of the old armor
as curiosities. The MORNING NEWS on
Saturday noticed the fact that bills had
been sent to those who had helped
themselves to the contents OF the
heap. sand that one gentleman
had received hill amounting to 50 for a
couple of old breastplates, and estlmat-
inc that if bills were sent to all who mad
removed relics from the pile, and IN pro
portion to the one above mentioned, the
CAPTAIN would make handsome sum out
Of the stuff.
Yesterday the Captain called at the
MORNING NEWS Office and stated that ne
had sent out no bills and had no knowl-
edge of any being sent. Upon lnVes-
tigatiou. il appears the bills were sent by
Messrs. Charles Green's son & Co agents
Tor James T.. Ward Il Co. Messrs. Green
& Co. purchased the ballast, consisting OF
$50 tons of scrap iron, among which
the curiOsities were found, paying
"A duty of 81 per ton
or 81. $40 Tor the entire ballast, and a
dOckagc of p cents ton per day. Ihey
afterwards sold the ballast to parties III
New York for SIG per ton. The purchaser
experienced some delay and difficulty IN
securing facilities for transportation and
withdrew from the contract. Messrs.
Green's Son d Co., however, claim the
contract valid, and the material is be-
ing loaded for shipment to the lat
ter port, where it will probably be
disposed of as scrap iron unless some
bric-a-brac dealer gets hold of it. 1ester-
day the gentleman who received the Dill
for his breastplates, returned them to the
pile where they were accepted. a num-
Der of other pieces were also returned
and the prospect is that the heap
will be considerably augmented be
fore the bills are paid. The ques-
ton arose at first if the ballast
was imported and duties paid upon
it as ballast, whether in the event that 1t
was sold as curiosties the customs laws
were not violated. 1t is the opinion, how
ever. of the Port officers that such is not
the case and that the owners of the Pile
are privileged to make such disposition OF
If A. they choose.

noon, on the grounds, a number OF eligible
lots situated on New Houston, Henry,

held at high figures, and the terms are
such as to place them within reach OF any

There is no greater hardship than pay
ing house rent ''mOnth in and month

from the constant drain upon ones limit

reasonable price, it is within the province
of any man who has regular employment

itself to the man of moderate means,
