60, not far from q million. Ills love
of gain, as often happens, had increased
with his gaining until ne had come to
regard wealth as indispensable. He was
not destitute of generosity by any means;
he did many kind things without consid-
ering expense; but he certainly overesti-
mated the value and importance of
money. He had expected to lose heavily
by bad debts from the hostile attitude
of the south, and this, perhaps, more
than any other consideration, moral or
political, had recently made him its en-
envy. In with his financial
ideas, he had seen tllattw of his daugh-
tiers had married fortunes and he had de-
termined that Helen should follow their
example.
Clarence Williams, a young man de-
voted to society, clubs and pictorial dis
sipation, chiefly distinguished for idle
ness and the possession of a millionaire
father, had imagined himself deeply in
love with Helen, and had proposed TO
her a few months before the firing on
Sumter had reused the nation from its
~protracted lethargy. To his surprise
and indignation she had positively
refused him-him who had thought
that the offer of his hand would be
accounted an honor. He had then, with
singular lack of pride, referred his case
to Mr.. Morley, who favored his suit and
encouraged him to believe that the girl
would doubtless change her mind; that
she probably had romantic notions on
the subject of marriage, which a year or
two more would correct.
In an interview with Helen, she told
him she had a temperamental aversion
to Mr.. Williams that lever could be over
come. Asked if she loved anybody else,
she replied evasively that she vas not
aware that she did. 'sThen there is am
pie reason" said her father, efor Will
Jams to %persevere. A girl whose heart
is not pre-engagedneve knows anything
about the state of her affections. You'll
come round, Helen, in due time. Why,
my dear, Clarence Williams will inherit
two or three millions"
When Darrell Seaton read the fateful
dispatch On the morning of April IL, and
felt that it meant indefinite, possibly
eternal separation from Helen Morley,
the wild throbbing of his heart revealed
that his friendship had been but a mask
for an intense, passionate love. He re-
solved to tell her SO at the first opportu-
nifty, and he kept his resolution. He did
not ask her directly to be his wife, but
felt that she ought to know how he had
deceived himself, and that he wa at last
awakened to the truth-the delightful,
~distracting, tumultuous truth. His avow-
al elected hers. She, too, had uncon-
~sciously practiced self deception. They
were, and had been from the first, SIM
ply and completely in love with n an
other. Before they were aware of it. and
before they could understand how it was
brought about, they were engaged. OAR
rell had always thought that he would
not, under any circumstances, marry an
heiress: and here he was betrothed to
one. He was beginning to see, as so many
young men have seen, that it is impru-
dent TO form opinions without adequate
experience.

WHY THE COWS COME LATE.

Crimson sunset burning
Der the tree-fringed hills;
Golden are the meadows,
Ruby flashed the riliS,
Quiet In the farm house,
Home the farmer HES,
But his wife Is watching,
Shading anxious eyes.
While she fingers with her pail beside the barn
Wondering why her Jenny and the COWS come
home SO late.
Jenny, brownreyed maiden.
Wanders d0wn the lane:
THAI was ere the daylight
Had begun TO wane.
Deeper grow the shadows:
Circling swallows creep;
Katydids are calling;
Mists DER meadows creep,
still the mother shades her eyes beside the barn
And wonders where her Jenny and the cows can
be so late.
Loving sounds are falling,
Homeward now AT last.
Speckle, Bess and Brindle
Through the gate have passed.
Jenny, sweetly blushing,
jamie grave and shy.
Takes the pals from mother,
Who stands silent by.
Not one word is spoken ms that mother shuts the
gate,
But now she knows why Jenny and the cows
came home 0late.

THOUGHT HE WAS A DUDE.
How . Bully waa Fooled by the Young
Pugtlist.

How . Baily waa Fooled by the Young
Pugilist.
Tommy Warren, the featherweight pu-
gilist, In in town looking as neat and dap
per as ever, says the Chicago Herald.
He has blossomed out this spring I'm q
most remarkable topcoat. In the an
euage OF his friends it's a ''bute," and
some Of them 60 SO far as to say II is a
"paralyzer."
1t In the peculiarly delicate shade Of
the cloth that elicits these encomiums,
and this, together with the perfect ft
upon the trim and apparently slight but
really solid figure. makes Tommy look
like a f~ull-fiedeed dude.
He was standing on North Clark street
one afternoon a few days ago talking with
a friend, while q few feet away stood q
big chap. also engaged in a palaver with
some acquaintances. Tommy's coat
caught the eye Of the big fellow, and il ev-
identity made him green with envy.
He began ''guying'. il, and Tommy
heard a running fire of remarks, among
which were: "where did you get that
coat ?" ''Get onto his dudelets."
Tommy paid no attention to the big
bully, though he heard il all and kept his
eye open for his chance. II came. The
big chap could not resist the temptation
to rub the dudish little man harder, feel
ing that his size made him safe. and ne
took a walk around Tommy, saying, with
his head cooked on one side, "Oh, what a
coat" and as he pushed his face with an
insolent look close to Tommy, that young
hitter swiped him on h cheek with the
back of his hand.
II was a STARTER for the bully, but he
squared off and made a savage hit for Mr..
Warren. Tommy easily parted the blow,
and he led GU with his right fist and
caught the fellow on the jaw, laying him
fiat on the sidewalk, and then went on
with his talk as though nothing had hap
pened.
As the big fellow picked himself up and
stood holding his jaw i'm his hand, Won
dering how such a blow could come from
such a little man, an acquaintance came
up, and learning from the man the bully
had been talking with the state of affairs,
he stepped up to the bewildered man, say
ing:
"Why you - fool, don't you know
who that little fellow is ""
"No," answered the stricken n i'm a
whine indicating chagrin, anger and sur
prise.
"Well," said his friend, 'that is Tommy
Warren, the lightweight pr~ize-fghter."
"Well, -, the mex time / begin
fooling with a dude I'll find out first who
he is" and the c~restfallen bully walked
of, still holding his jaw.

"Never take the horseshoe from the
door," is the advice given in n ecently
popular song, which precept is followed
by the injunction that while there the bit
OF iron will surely bring good luck. Be
this as il may, there are certainly many
thousands of people who to-day, while not
lsuperstitious in other things, are either
believers in the adage, or else. for the
Isake OF effect in o~rnamentation, employ
THE horseshoe as IN emblem of good luck
by giving il a prominent place in
household decoration, says the Bos-
ton Herald. The great fad is to pick up a
horseshoe I'm the street, n he who is
thus fortunate" is supposed, according to
superstition, to secure extraordinary luck
las long as the shoe remains in his posses
sion. But all are not thus favored, and i'm
order to secure a shoe a visit 10 the black
smith or junkman is found to be necessary,
making II especially profitable to the lat
