Filled His Pockets With Money,

In travelling from the New York stock
exchange to Delmonico's a number of
brokers saw a little shaver of about 9 bare
footed and ragged. The little fellow has
sold newspapers in the neighborhood, but
it wasn't time for the evening papers, and
he looked idle and more or less disconso-
late. The brokers took the little fellow
into Delmonico's with them, got an empty
cigar box, cut a slot in it and nailed it up,
and with the little fellow solicited SUBJ
scriptions from all their friends in the
place at the time. They then took him
into the exchange with them and passed
the box around there. As q result 8 little
over 800 was collected. The boy stuffed
the money into his ragged pockets and left
for the seaside.

eyes, that was the charge He was a
young doctor, the nephew of the man
who was killed. He had married a girl
whom the old man did not like, and the
latter refused to help him in any way.
The young fellow got sick and the wife
worked in an Office but could not sup
port the two. The doctor and the old
man had a quarrel one day, and that
night the old man was killed and the
house robbed. The doctor was arrested
and convicted, and it was only the other
day that the real murderer confessed on
his death bed. Then it was too late.

Somebody said they saw her in the city
during that time and that she was work
ing in. an Office there They said she
passed as a girl and that she was saving
up her money, thinking sometime he
would be set free, for the faithful girl
never believed him guilty, though the
circumstantial evidence was so strong
that it seemed almost impossible that he
should be otherwise"

Mr.. Ambrose to himself, and that after
noon he left his office on an earlier train
and stopped off at the little station to
look up for himself the story of the dead
man. He was directed to a, little cot
tage, and woman in black opened the
door.
"Elsie Harleyl" and then it all came
to him. Elsie Harleywas the dead mans
wife that was the secret of her life. She
took him into her little parlor and told
him the story. 81 thought you had
found out my secret and that you did not
like to speak to me about it. 1 scarcely
know how got home that day. Those
red letters seemed burning themselves
into my brain. l wrote to you some
thing, do not know what, and came
back here discouraged"
That was only part of the long sad
story. Elsie's life had been a weary one,
and the skies had been ever dark for her.
but at last there came a ray of light. At
first she was offered her old position, but
she said she could not go back to that.
Then as time went on Mr.. Ambrose re-
called what he had once thought about
proposing to his typewriter, and he said
to himself, "She isn't typewriter now.
No matter of blame can be attached to
her in any way, and she is prettier than
she was then. If don't believe l will
ask her now" And he did, and today
she is Elsie Ambrose, and is happy only
for the thought of that grave down in the
country-the grave of the one whose
wrong was righted too late. katherine

Conree planting in Cuba.

can imagine nothing more delightful
for an American capitalist than the
ownership and management of coffee
plantation in Cuba. He could spend his
winters there, in the climate of Italy, sur
rounded by magnificent scenery, with
vegetation full of tropic splendor, and
plenty Of game, deer, wild pig, fowl and
fish for the sportsman. Even American
fruits and vegetables thrive there, and
with small outlay all the comforts of
your homes could be transferred to the
mountain plantations. The American
who should go there to pass his winters
would not lack for agreeable society.
The remaining descendants of the old
French planters, who still live on the
estates they have been able to retain. are
hospitable and generous, and generally
well educated and refined. Besides, this
sort of winter resorting can be made to
pay handsome profits. A plantation that
will produce a crop of coffee and cacao
worth in market $50, 900, the cost of pro-
duction being no more than 500 or
$4,000, can be purchased for S95, 900 or

ment are small. Droughts need not be
