at Staten Island. They were not acquainted,
though this was evidently not his fault. He
glanced at her rather w~istfully from time to
time, and his eyes said I'VE are both alone,
and conventionality forbids us to talk. I,for
my part, would willingly cast formality to
the tour Winds"
The maiden maintained O rigorous silence.
She was deeply in crested in the show. Every
time Mr.. Cody appeared she clapped her
chubby little hands toge, her in q frenzy of
enthusiasm. "
The weather was f~earfully warm. The
youth who had thought of casting Formally
to the four winds had made q mistake. Then
was not a breath of the fourth part Of the
four winds abroad.
Soon the maiden began to fdget. Shs
grew uncomfortable. A soft, white arm,
bare far above the wrist. apparently teased
her. With her little flbert nails she plucked
at it from time to time. demurely at first,
earnestly later, and wildly at last.
He looked on with a world of pity In his
big brown eyes. He was anxious to help her.
He would willingly have been thrown by one
of the bucking horses if, by 30 doing, he
could win the right to speak to her.
The show proceeded. The maiden seemed

Her velvety arm lay for a moment inert in
her lap.
Slap! The strong brown fingers of the
youth were brought down with cruel firm
ness on that delicate skin.
Sir! =" she exclaimed Indignantly, spring.
ing from her seat. =" What does this mean 2'
He made no reply, but pc nted significantly
to her arm. Her eyes followed his. There
on a white, feshy death bed, lay a mosquito.
painting out its nasty, provoking little life.
Beside it was the dish of blood which it had
drawn from the maiden fair.
The arm twitched. Her soft eyes looked
ardently at the fortunate youth, and then
Thank you so much :" she said sweetly.
And then they spoke.
Some OF the Dandy Campaign Buttons and
Badges Now in Fnshion.
According to reliable authorities, the pres.
emit Presidential campaign is going to beat the
record away out of sight 80 for as the manu-
facture of campaign pins and badges are con-
cerned.
"All the old-fashioned patterns for buttons
and badges" says a manufacturer who de-
votes his attention particularly to this sort of
goods, were exhausted the first two weeks
after the opening of the campaign, and We
have been at our wits ends since then in get
ting out new designs and patterns, and now
they are just being put on the market"
One of the latest patterns, he went on to
say, is the pearl button. These are made of
ordinary mother-of-pearl, about the size of q
cuff button, and are colored red and blue,
the former for the Democratic button, on
which is inscribed a tasteful monogram of @.
and T., and the latter for the Republican en-
blem, with q monogram Of the letters H. and
NJ. They are more durable than the first
badges that were gotten out, and sell at as
cents apiece.
Another more elaborate variety is the
enamelled button which comes in o number
of designs to suit the ideas of the purchaser.
Some of the Democratic buttons are made in
the form of horseshoes of white enamel. on O
gold ground, with the names OF" the candi-
dates in black around the edge, and O four
leaved clover in blue and white enamel in
the centre. Others are circular in form and
equally elaborate in design. The price Of
these badges is so cents.
Another small button of oxidized silver
simply bears the names of the candidates in
rustic lettering. A new badge Of the Ma
tional Republican League is o white enamel
button divided into three parts by gold lines
containing the letters N. r.. l..
1t has been said that the dealers have been
selling more Harrison and Morton than
Cleveland and Thurman buttons. This is
not 80 according to a Nassau street shop
and in walking up Broadway from Wall
street to Park row yesterday, the writer
counted only eighteen Harrison buttons to
thirty-one for Cleveland. ,
The members of the Consolidated Stock
and Petroleum Exchange make o big display
of Cleveland buttons, every Democratic
member who belongs to the club being sup
posed to wear the badge. :
