An PASSPORT was shaken from center 20 cir

customers over the counter. Deacon Hodges,
who kept the grocery at the corner, was so
Iull of it that he filed Miss Peters pail with
vinegar instead of the molaSSes she asked for.
Miss Pelter was so full of it that she did not
discover the mistake until reaching home.
In the pals bottom were discernible pair
Of spectacles. They were the deacons. de

and the obscurity of the store cellar.
What was iti
Mr.. Pelter was telling Mrs. Ann Hedges
over her backyard fence in an interval taken
from the preparation Of breakfast. She was
on her way from the pump to the kitchen
with pail of water. Sausages were frying
in the kitchen. You could hear them sizzling
and splutte.ing, and their SAVIOR was IN the
morning air.

they were to go out in 4 boat, the

A Gamblers Family.

Some of the tragedies of real life in
the metropolis are stranger than any
fiction 1have ever read. know of one
| which has not yet got into the local
papers, but probably will some day.
More than generation ago IL man,
who was known as a. banker in Louis
vile, KY, married a beautiful woman
in that city, by whom he had in 1, few
years SIX OF the most beautiful daugh-
ters. He was indulgent to them in
degree which was the marvel of the
city in which he lived; he brought
them up in comparative ignorance;
though all were unusually bright One
! day during the war he WAS suddenly
| compelled to leave Louisville and fly
to Canada. Then it came out that he
| robbed United States Paymaster
named Cook of$165, 900 at cards, and
bis wife learned for the first time that
his business of banking involved SIM
ply the keeping of faro bank.
| She concealed this fact from her chill
dren and fled to New York with them
to hide in this great metropolis. She
succeeded. She reared these girls in
an exemplary way, notwithstanding
she was compelled to receive from her
dishonest husband the fruits of his
swindling at cards. She bore it for
years until she had married off all her
six daughters; then she refused further
aid from her husband. All this time
the children remained in ignorance OF
their fathers character and business
and were proud of him. Suddenly, a.
few years ago, he died, and the New
York papers told the true story of his
criminal life, and the daughters learned
what their father had been. One
died from the shock. The others with
drew themselves from all acquaint-
ance With old friends. One, whose
husband was equally fond and proud
OF her, refused to let her hide her head
in secrecy and pine away. The other,
her fathers fay orite, and who had more
than her share offamily pride and who
hadnot infrequentiy twitted her hand
some husband with the fact that he
was Gin trade,' while her father was a
banker, in the first shock of the reve-
lation Of the real character of her faith
er abandoned her home, turned to dis
sipation in drink to some extent and
to gambling desperately, and finally,
in the course of only two years OF
shame, has descended to the low level
OF the mistress of a faro banker.
