A New Idea In Rings.

A leading jeweler in town has solved
an idea for rings this season which is
destined to inspire covetousness. if it
has never been inspired before, in the
female breast. OF course. nothing can
be done to him Tor thus setting lovely
women by the ears; there is no law
that can reach his case that / know of;
therefore all we can do is to submit
gracefully and make some sweet
creature ecstatically happy by giving
her a '1ripartite" ring. The saying
that two's a company and thrce's a
crowd must be regarded as altogether
fallacious in the matter of rings. This
one in particular, al all events. consists
Of three separate circles. each set with
row OF five diamonds. sappt,res,
rubies. the red. white, and blue form
lng mnst brilliant combination. 1t
wouldn't be wise to say just how
effective these three independent
clusters are on pretty hand. because
every girl can not have such fetching
present. and the majority of adorable
divinity must be coHtented to wear
some other STYLES. Nevertheless sfha
rieletsa is quite the gem of this ring

LARGE BOAT WAS SEEN APPROACHING.
Of the s.Namovna.r Other vessels were an
chored in the bay, and all displayed lights.
Eut Fairfax knew that the ''Namoyna's"
light would far outshine them all.
The rain meanwhile continued to pour in
torrents: the wind blew with frightful yiO-
lcnce. while the lightning and thunder made
night hIdeOus. They had built a little fire
in the hut It, at least, served TO dry their
wet garments and 10 keep the girl from be-
coming chilled About half-past eight the
valct-whO also was familiar with that p0r-
ton Of the c0ast-ap appeared with the two
seamen. They were soaked to the skin, and
gathered hastily about the fire.
Perhaps ten minutes later, the lights Of
the .-Namovua'' CLEANED brightly over the
tossing waves. &c yacht steamed slowly
around the island, as if feeling her way.
The storm now began to moderate. The
wind finally ceased altogether; and the
thunder sounded more and more distant
one by one the stars appeared, and the
moon came up and lit the waters Of the sea.
\ huge boat WAS seen approaching. Fair
fax had so accurately described to the cap
tain the point where he must touch that the
heimsman steered directly toward the old
fish-house.
Dick and one of the seamen lifted the
sleeping girl Fairfax arranged in the
stern place where 10 lay her down, and
tie d9cile Medji was led into the bow of the
beat. which, according 10 Fairfax's orders,
was the largest the captain could find.
. Goodbye, Dick Write me. Here's nv
address, was all the American said to his
friend The weight of his offense began to
Cypress him, and ne did not dare 10 look
Oxford in the face.
g Thank you, Roger added he, slipping
several fiye-pound notes into the latter's
hand
Vow pull away, captain" and the boat
shot off over the sparkling pillows towards
the graceful yacht that rode ut anchor a
quarter of a mile from the shore.
In horrifed and helpless silence Oxford
and his valet stood gazing after It. They
saw the boat reach the ..Namoyna,' watched
that vessel swing about, beheld the water
boil behind her stern, and finally viewed
her disappearing behind the island
My Cod What have l donel' said Dick,
As he heaved a great sigh and broke the
silence. ut can't be undone now
Roger said lie, with scared, white face
and turning TO that frightened and trembling
attendant, whatever happens, never
breathe d word about this to any mortal
soul It may cost US our lives"
Master and servant then drove directly
to Dol. where Roger returned the vehicle
and mare TO their rightful owner, who, al-
parentIy. had no suspicion as TO the part his
property had been playing in very ques-
tiouable transaction. The Englishmen then
took the train to Paris, arriving there about
nine O'Clock the next morning.

THE PASSEE GIRL.
A Young Woman Who For the Most Part
Charms by Her Cheerfulness.


The passee girl is not unknown. Younger
women look at her with some disdain, while
they eonfide IN her, and the men of her pc
riod do not look at her at all, so to speak.
People often complain that she dresses too
young. that she affects youthful and girlish
airs, that she chooses her friends from
younger generation. that sheis not resigned
to growing old, and that her conversation
and manners are of a juvenile style. They
do not reflect that it is every ones duty TO
make the most of ones self. We do not feel
old because others regard US so, or because
time has touched US roughly; no one looks
so old in her own looking-glass as in the
prejudieed mirror of another's eyes. There
seems to be species Of jealousy among the
girls of the period if the passee girl has the
bad taste TO look younger than her age-a
jealousy which IS incomprehensible in view
Of the fact that the first Is the undisputed
possession Of the youth Of which the other
only wears the tawdry imitation: but the
young girl seems to be afraid lest the senior
should usarp her kingdom and carry of her
vassals, being vaguely conscious that she
has other attractions than the Irldcs-
cent and evanescent ones peculiar to
herself. The passee girl for the
most part charms By her cheerfulness, II
nothing else. She knows too well that i
win not do for her to indulge in nlegrims,
that they dan the complexion, steal the
brightness from the eyes, and grow
wrinkles about the mouth. She knows
that expression is every thing: TINT il Is
more important than line coloring, than
classic contours or iuxuriant tresses.-fssav-

Mean Trick on a shark.

A Maine sailor played mean trick
on shark one day not long ago. The
tiger of the sea had been following the
boat for several days and existed on
the garbage thrown overheard, and the
sailor decided to have some fun with
him. He took a large piece of lime
and threw it at the fish, which greedily
gulped it down. The lime at once be-
gan to slack. and the shark, after
thrashing about in terrible agony for a
few minutes, turned over and died.
