A Shrewd Advertiser.

Two men met on 8 down town corner. One asked the other to accompany him to lunch. The invitation was cordially accepted. They started along the street, arm in arm, and finally the host led the way into a restaurant. Now the friend knew that the host was himself the pro prietor of big restaurant, and he won dered why he had not taken him there for lunch. When they were seated at 8 table and had given the waiter their or ders he asked the reason for this move. "I'll tell you," said the restaurant pro- prietor, as he removed pickle from his rivals crockery. "You see, over at our place we make our own butter The process is very expensive and the but ter. costs us great deal of money-so much that when go into the place l do not eat butter, because do not feel that can afford to do SO. Hare eat the butter because do not pay for its making. Do you see?" The friend thought he did, and he realized what a lovely advertiser the man was.-Chicaso Herald.

"He ,oas aH had, and God is good, they
 say."
 Bebee listened and looked then kissed tho old shaking hand and took up the lace pat terms and went softly out of the room with out speaking.
 When old Annemie watched at tho window it was useless to seek for any word or sign of her; people said that she had never been quite right in her brain since that fatal win ter noon sixty years before, when the coaster had brought into port the broken beam of the good brig Fleur d'Epine.
 Bebee did not know about that, nor heed whether her wits were right or not.
 She had known the old creature In the lace room where Annemie pricked out designs, and she had conceived great regard and sorrow for her; and when Annemie had become too ailing and aged to go herself any longer to the lace makers place, Bebee had begged leave for her to have the patterns at home, and had carried them to and fro for her for the last three or four years, doing many other little useful services for the lone old soul as we'll services which Annemio hardly perceived, she had grown so used to them, and her feeble intelligence was so sunk in the one absorbing | idea that she must watch all the days through | and all the years through for the coming of the dead man and tho lost brig. Bebee put the lace patterns in her basket, and trotted home her sabots clattering on the l stones.
 "What it must be to care for any ono like that!" she thought, and by some vague asso- 1 ciation of thought that she could not have pursued she lifted tho leaves and looked al the moss rose bud.
 l It was quite dead.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-02-23

.ny manner of doubt And on her stern there was her name painted white, the Fleur d'Epine, of Brussels, as plain as name could be. and that was all we ever knew; what evil had struck her, or how they had perished, nobody ever told Only the coaster brought that bit of beam away, with the Fleur d'Epine writ clear upon it. But you see never know my man is dead Any day-who can sayi- any one of those ships may bring him aboard of her, and he may leap out on the wharf there, and come running up the stairs as he used to do, and cry, in his merry voice, An nernie, Annemie, here is more flax to spin, here is moro hose to weavef For that was always his homeward word; no matter whether he had had fair weather or foul, he always knotted the flax to his masthead. So you see, dear, l could not leave here. For what if he came and found me awaya He would say it was an odd fashion of mourning for him And could not do without the window, you know. 1 can watch all the brigs come in, and can smell the shipping smell that I.have loved all the days of my life; and can see the lads heaving, and climbing, and furling, and mending these bits of canvas, and hauling their flags up and down And then who can sayLthe sea never took him, I think-I think l shall hear his voice before die. For they do say that God is good"
 Bebee, sweeping very noiselessly, listened, and her eyes grew wistful and wondering. Ehc hnd heard the story thousand times; always in different words, but always the same little tale, and she knew how old@An- nemie was deaf to all the bells that tolled the time, and blind to all the whiteness of her hair and all the wrinkles of her face, and only thought of her sea slain lover as he had been in the days of her youth.
 Sha did not speak at all as she finished sweeping the bricks, and went down stairs for . metal cruche full of water, and set over . little charcoal on the stove the old woman's brass soup kettle with her supper of stewing cabbage.
 Annemie did not hear or notice: she was still looking out of the whole in the wall on to the masts, and the sails, and the wateft
 It was twilight.
 From the barges and brigs there came the smell of the sea. The sailors were shouting to each other. The craft were crowded close, and lost in the growing darkness. On the other side of the canal the belfries wero ring ing for vespers.
 "Eleven voyages one and another, and he never forgot to tie the flax to the mast" An nenlie murmured, with her old wrinkled face leaning out into the gray air. Ut used to fly there; one could see it coming up half a mile off-just pale yellow flake on the wind, like . tress of my hair, he would say. No, no, could not go away; he may come tonight, to-mor. row, any time; he is not drowned, not my man; he was all had, and God Is good, they savn

CHAPTER VII.

As she got clear of tho city and out on her country road, a shadow fell across her in tho evening light.
 ''Have you had good day, little onef' asked @ voice that made her stop with . cu- rious vague expectancy and pleasure.
 Ut is yonl" she said, with little cry, as she saw her friend of the silk stockings lean ing on a gate midway in the green and soli- tary road that leads to Laeken-
 'sYes, it is l." he answered as he joined her. Have you forgiven mo, Bebeei"
 She looked at him with frank, appealing eyes, like those of a child in fault
 "Oh, did not sleep all night" she said, simply. II thought I had been rude and un- grateful, and could not be sure had done right though to have dono otherwise would certainly have been wrong."
 He laughed.
 "Well, that Is clearer deduction than Is to be drawn from most moral uncertainties Do not think twice about tho matter, my dear have not, l assure you"
 "Nor'
 She was little disappointed. It seemed such an immense thing to her; and she had lain awake all the night, turning it about In her little brain, and appealing vainly for help in it to the sixteen sleep angels
 "No, indeed. And where ere you going so fast, as if those wooden shoes of yours were sandals of Mercuryf
 "Mercury-is that shoemakerT'
 s'No, my dear. He did terrible bit of cob bling once, when he made woman. But he did not shoe her feet with swiftness that know of; she only runs away to be run after, and if you do not pursue her, she comes back always"
 Bebee did not understand at all.
 "I thought God made wornan," she said, a little awe stricken. "You call it God. People three thousand years ago called it Mercury or Hermes. Both mean the same thing-mere words to desig' To ho c0ntsnund

WASHINGTON, April AT the navy
department there was a dearth of news
concerning the Samoan disaster. The
secretary of the navy has cabled to
Auckland that the men of the wrecked
vessels Trenton, Vandalia and Nipsic are
to be taken to San Francisco.
The instructions given some days
ago to hurry forward the preparations
of the Charleston, now being built at
San Francisco, have been reiterated, and
every effort will be made to get her guns
and gun carriages transported overland
at the earliest possible moment. The
guns are ready at the proving ground at
Annapolis and the carriages are about
completed at the Washington ordnance
foundry.
Secretary Tracy has received replies to
kilograms sent by him to the command
ers of the Alert that she is in excellent
condition and can leave Honolulu, where
she is now stationed at once. She has
been ordered to do this and will reach
Apia in about thirty days. The Rich
mond is attached to the South Atlantic
squadron and is now at the mouth of the
La Platte river. She is in good sailing
order and will probably be at Apia
shortly after the Alert arrives. 1t will
take about ten days to get the Adams
ready for sea. The vessel is now at
Mare Island and orders have been issued
to put her in condition for sea at once.

MILWAUKEE, April 2.-At 2 o'clock q.
m. the small frame building occupied by
Mrs. Margaret Kinlein and her three
children, aged 2, 4 and y respectively,
was discovered to be on fire. The build
ing burned so rapidly that before the de-
partment could reach the burning struc-
ture and render any aid, the entire fam
lily, including the mother and three
children. were burned to death. 1t was
impossible to do anything more when
the department arrived on the scene than
to play on the fiercely burning ruins,
and when at last the fire was extin-
guished search was made for the
remains. The mother was widow.
The only theory of the fire which
seemed at ell possible was that Mrs. Kin
lein had put her children to bed, closed
all the doors and windows of the inner
room. and then built q fire under the
bed, afterwards lying down herself and
awaiting the death she had arranged for
herself and her children.
Mrs. Kinlein, who was in delicate
condition, whose husband, carpenter,
died about ten months ago, has been
very respondent as she was compelled
to support the family by taking in wash
ing. Lena Ebbitts, a girl Of 10 years,
who boarded with her, only left the
house last night. and says that Mira
Kinlein went to get supper and acted so
strangely that she was afraid to stay and
went to neighbours for the night.
Lawrence Jung, the old man who
lived on the upper floor of the little
house and is in feeble health, was re-
moved with difficulty. His SON and two
daughters escaped uninjured.
