Elsie, in truth, had really not permitted
herself to settle down to the matter-of-fact
realization that in Tyrwhitt she had Sc
rious lover. Whenever he had tried TO
make serious love she had pointedly
checked his move. Partly because the
dreadful momentousness of the business
would all at once loom before her mind and
awe her into a half-cowardly. half-prudent
fit of procrastination, and partly because
there is a delicious pleasure in the weaker
of two forces feeling and exercising its
power Of controlling the will of the stronger.

Austin Corbin Catches Eels.

Austin Corbin, the great railway mag
nate and financier, was unusually happy
one day this week. He walked into his
office with a smile as big and rosy as a
June day He threw his shoulders back
| and stepped as lightly as youth of sixteen,
althoughnhe long since became a grand
father He had kind work for every body.
His eyes twinkled merrily. In TACT he was
jauntiness personified. Nobody seemed to
know what had happened. Even visitors
were surprised. Had he added another
million to his already great fortunea The
stock market was booming, and such a sug-
gestion met with favor. Finally one of his
confidential clerks could stand the suspense
no longer.

THE SOUTHERN GIRL.
BY HARRY EDWARDS.

She is pretty and vivacious, and is sensible
withal.
For she seldom mars her beauty with frown;
If you take her to the opera, the party or the
ball.
She's the happiest girl you'll find in all the
town.
For she dearly loves excitement, and she's fond
OF oysters too
She can eat a dozen fried in just minute
She doesn't take to walking. or to street cars
it is true,
But if you've horse and buggy you are ''in it -
While she has fiery temper, and will roast
you to brown"
II to some incautious word you should give
vent;
If you will only tell her she's the sweetest girl
in town.
She will soon forget her anger and relent.
II her manners should be faulty you can tell her
all aboutit;
She will hear you through and open not her
mouth
But you'll surely have ''scrap" upon your
hands, and don't you doubt it,
II you say single word against the, South.

she's genuine brick. that's what Elsie is,
and-but-hang it all l must! Oh.
confound this business, l can think OF
nothing else,"
Much to the same purport, but much
more elegantly phrased, were MIR. Hogs
later musings over his new-found English
treasure. Change, love of change, this
may possibly account for good deal. Then
again, there is no sin III liking variety. At
any rate, thought our brace of mature
Benedicts. there's no harm in giving the
rein to fancy, because one can so easily pull
up before one takes the leap. Neither
Hogg nor Tyrwhitt had the slightest sus-
picion that in this peculiar matter TWO other
souls beat with their own in cris-cross
unison.
Had they been told so, they would have
seyerally knocked their outrageous inform
ants down. While vaguely conscious of
their own case, they never dreamt that any
such remnant of fallibility fingered in the
angel nature of these adorable beings. The
sudden discovery might have disturbed
their reason. Il might, if slowly revealed,
have endowed them with god-like serenity.
The invisible telegraph must have been
hard at work between two travellers away
out On the prairies and two pretty girls
forlorn amid New York gaiety. Hogg and
Tyrwhitt went out to fish for politician,
but they got their lines crossed somehow,
and each hooked the others guardian angel.
Tell you what it is, Hogg; l can't talk
business till we've unloaded our minds on
the other matter-you know what l mean? ?"

thing, don't you know
Il guess you mean a-so to speak-a-"
and Hogg began a mystical series of wav-'
ings with his hand, as if giving out hand
full of invisible tracts.
Look here, Hogg, don't you think we're
making devilish fools of ourselvesl Let's

her beauty took New York by storm. To-
day she doesn't seem to be over thirey-fiye
years of age, although she is about fifty.
Her form is straight and her waist has not
lost all OF its graceful curves. But her
face is no longer fresh Her voice is
cracked. and the friends of other days have
gone forever-the days of champagne,

is hardly a memory now. and she is toiling

Steinitz, the Champion Chess Player.
Now and then I see short, thick-set
man, about fifty-five years old, with
reddish beard and hair, and decided Ger
man look, walking sturdily up Broadway.
The most remarkable thing about his ap-
pearance is his large head, wherein wonder
full combinations are worked out Those
who know anything about chess cannot fail
to recognize the present champion chess
player of the world, for it is none other
than ". Steinitz. Twenty-Five years ago
he demonstrated his genius by winning the
championship of the world against
the greatest living players Since
then he has beeen willing to
play against any professional in the world.
His friends are now raising large testl-
monial fund to be presented TO him on the
occasion of the twenty-iifth anniversary of
his winning the worlds championship. He
is not versatile, and knows how 10 do just
the one thing-play chess and as chess
playing is not remunerative, Mr.. Steinitz
has not made a financial success IN life.
He is among the SloweSt players III the
world, making about tea moves per hour.
Paul Morphy, the greatest of all chess
players, made thirty moves per hour But
when Ste;nitz makes move it means q
great deal-a combination that will in the
end defeat his antagonist. He Is very iras-
chile, ard the many petty rows he has en-
gagged in are notorious. Many anecdotes
are related of his extreme temper, resulting
in personal MISUNDERSTANDING. But he
never remains at odds with anyone long,
and is just as happy when differences are
amicably settled as school-boy is when he
receives a handsome present. He is an
Austrian by birth, but has lived so long in
America he speaks English like 4 native.
OF late years he has published a chess
paper He is married and has 4 family of
children.
