"Oh, there is no accounting for AIDE
ladies likes and dislikes," replied Gay,
a little impatiently. Sometimes l think
she would have found fault with ST. Paul
himself, if she had known him"
Mr.. Hawtry laughed. "Rossiter is not
a Saint Paul, certainly, but ne is a down
right honest fellow, and that is what
like. Perhaps he is not shining light in
the pulpit, but he is so earnest and pains
taking that we cannot blame his want OF
eloquence. He is just the companion that
suits me; always cheerful and always
good tempered, and ready to talk on any
subject. l must say l am rather partial
to Walter Rossiter.
Now wonder what made Gay look so
pleased, and why her eyes beamed so soft
ly on Mr.. Hawtry. But she said nothing,
and Mr.. Rossiter's name soon dropped out
OF the conversation.
Very shortly after that the rain cleared,
and the wagonette was ordered. While
we were waiting for it, Gay asked me to
come with her into the dairy 10 see Lydia
Sowerby. was anxious 70 see Hannah's
sister, but own l was not prepossessed
with her appearance. She had red hair,
like Molly-indeed, most of the Sowerbys
had red hair-but she was far palmer than
Molly, and it struck me her face looked
hard.
had to own by and by, however, that
my first impressions were wrong, for
few moments afterward when Mrs. Corn
ish carried Reggie into the dairy, Lydia's
Manufactured face softened in a wonder
sul manner, and such pleasant smile re-
deemed her plainness.
"Oh, do let me hold him a moment"
she said, eagerly; The reminds me of little
Davie, our poor little brother who died.
Hannah has talked SO much about him"
And when Mrs. Cornish relinquished him
reluctantly, she carried him about the
dairy with such pride and joy that Mrs.
Cornish nodded her head at her benig-
nantly.
"YOu are rare one for children, Lyddy'
never saw woman to beat you. She is
always begging me to ask Dan" she went
on, turning to US. She spoils Dan huge
ly, and so does Molly; they are both of
them soft-hearted, though you would not
believe it to look at them; but many
soft fruit has a rough rind," finished Mrs.
Cornish.
Reggie was asleep all the way home,
but Joyce prattled necessarily. l took
them into the house as quietly as l could,
after bidding Mr.. Hawtry goodnight. /
thought it best to leave Gay to explain
things to Mrs. Markham.
But all that evening, until l slept,
sentence of Mr.. Hawtry's haunted me: 81

you, Miss Fenton." Why did he wish

Imaginary Ailments OF Women.

There is large class of women in con-
slant trouble about their health, although
the same amount of strength in cheerful

fear to accost her with, How are you to

shower of complaints. She is always get

in it recipes for the cure of all styles of
diseases, from softening of the brain in Il

bedroom shelf is an apothecary-in fantum,
whire medicines may be,found, from large
bottles full of head-wash for diseased cram
iums, down to the smallest vial for the
removing of corns from the feet. Thous-
ands of women are being destroyed by this
constant suspicion Of their health.
Others settle down into Il gloomy state
from forebodings of trouble to come.
They do not know why it is, but they are
always expecting that something will
happen. They imagine about one PRESENT.

Oh, do away with all forebedings as to

Go forth among nature. Look up toward
the heavens insufferably bright by day. or
at night when the sky is merry with ten
thousand stars, joining hands of light

Mr.. Hakes' Luck.

1t was current on the streets of Carlo the
day following the great December drawing
Of the Louisiana State Lottery that one
fortieth of ticket 9S, 455 that drew the capital
prize was held here, but some days elapsed
before it was known who held it. Finally it
was reported that Mr. H. A. Hakes, a sub
contractor under Little & Greenley, on the
Cache lcvcc work, was the lucky man, and
that he had gone to New Orleans TO draw his
money. Learning yesterday that Mr. Hakes
in town, stopping at Uncle Jocs Hotel,
the Arglls sent a reporter to interview him.
MIR. Hakes Is quiet small, plain appear
ing man, about fifty years of age. He is an
intelligent, energetic man that one would
take to be well suited to his business. He is
aVerSc to notoriety, but does not hesitate to
tell the facts IN regard to his windfall. As
reported he held One-fOrtieth of the ticket
that drew 5000, 900 in the December drawing
Of the Louisiana State Lottery, and had been
down to New Orleans and collected his
money, $4,000. He went by the Mobile 81
Ohio road. Upon arriving in the Crescent
City he proceeded to the Office of the Louis
lana State Lottery, where he presented his
fractional ticket, and without any trouble
got the large sum Of money it called for.
He appreheuded that identification would be
necessary, but was told in the office that
possession of the ticket was all that was
necessary.
He was afterward the recipient of courte-
sizes at the hands of the lottery officials. who
deemed him their guest, as one who had
come a long distance to transact business
with them, and of additional interest to
them as one taking . portion of the great
capital prize Of their December drawing.
His praise of the hospitality they extended
To him is unstinted.
Mr.. Hakes deposited his money in Carlo
bank, and il Is safe to say will use it to the
best advantage for himself Cairo IN

A Blind Sculptor.

Vidal, the blind sculptor, is one of the
wonders of the French capital. He has
been blind since his twenty-frst year. We
can quite easily understand how Il blind
farmer would cultivate the ground with
the pillow. space and hoe; how he would
feel around the tender plants, and gently
loosen the dirt from their roots, or how
the blind Birmingham, Ala, miner tells,
with the aenSe of touch alone, the direction
and to what depth to drill the holes before
putting lii a blast, but the work of Vidal
stands ont in bold relief, unique. wonder
full and Incompatible. To be a sculptor
ii is generally supposed that one must
have the mechanics eye and the artist
taste and perspicuity. The latter faculties
Vidal has to an exceptional de2ree-even
more acute. he believes, than if the former
were not lost to him forever. By slowly
passing his hands over an object he notes
its external proportions, and initiates them
in clay in a manner which strikes the be-
holder dumb with surprise. A dog, horse.
human face, or anything alive or dead, he
models with as much ease as any of the
dozens of Partisan scul ptors who still re-
tain the faculty of sight. From 1855 to
1875 Vidal received more medals than any
