Aud she, with corresponding flour

'Good evening, Mr.. Mortimer
And the door closed between them.
And so they parted with sore hearts
and the belief that each was responsible
for the unhappy ending of their love.
Bella, however, kept right on in the
path which she had elected to follow.
But she was thankful that Mrs. Van
Dazener sent her things to her every
week, and also sent after them.
Among the many diversions which
Mrs. Van Duzener's high station and
hig bank account brought to her, she
found none so satisfying and entertain
ing as watching from day to daJ :he
changes in the ingenious countepance
OF her nephew. That he was "a aove
she had long since guessed. As he
grew moody and quiet and left his
favorite dishes untasted, she decided
that she must know what troubled him.
So, one morning at the breaRfast-tab BILE,
she suddenly said, in her quick, snappy
way:
Come, George, satisfy an old wom-
ans curiosity. Who is she?"
Mr. Mortimer was at first very much
confused. But being very young and
very unhappy, and noticing that his
aunt looked particularly amiable, he
soon unbosomed himself of few of
his woes.
o. And Why" asked his aunt, don't
you marry her?"
why" exclaimed Mr.. Mortimer,
who labored under the fond delusion
that he had explained every point
in the story. because she has poor
grandmother that she acOuLG stay and
work for: and because she thought you
needed me: and because-well, there's
the Van Duzener pride, you know.
Bella Is working girl"
"Blcss my heartr' exclaimed Aunt
Van Duzener, raising her hands inn
patiently. pride! What greater pride
can anyone feel than in doing her
whole duty? And the more distasteful
and difficult the duty the greater the
honor. That's the sort of pride be-
lieve in"
But, aunt" stammcred her nephew,
deprecatingly, feeling sure that he was
dealing the final blow to his newly
raised hopes, BELLA does up laces and
things for living. In fact, She
washes, you know"
'NWel, and what has that got to do
with il? If she is honest and brave
and pretty, did you say?"
Be-au-tiful!' exclaimed George, &c.
statically.
"And will have you?" continued his
aunt. Il advise you to lose no time in
securing your treasure. In addition to
your salary at the Office | will pay you
well to look after my property, SO
think you can afford wife, grandmother
and all"
Mr. Mortimer soon made his peace
with Bella, and, OF course. the wedding
wasn't long in coming off. Incredible
though it may sound, the rich aunt, the
shabby grandmother and the young
couple all lived together as harmonious
ly as doves.
"And to think" said Mrs. Van
Duzener, that George was so stupid as
not to know what my pride, about
which I've talked SO much, really cor
sisted of. But perhaps it isn't so odd
after all: there are SO many shoddy
sorts of pride nowadays that the real,
honest kind is apt to be overlooked en-.

THE WINTER TURTLE.
4 Delicate Creature Petted All the W
from the West Indies.

y DcllCaGP creature IeIIPU All Ine way
from the West indies.
1t is difficult to get turtles to market
at this time of the year. They are
hatched in the sand on hot sea beach
on the coast of Florida or the West
India Islands, and the greatest care has
to be taken to keep them alive in bring
ing them to this cold climate. In sum
mer they are carried on the decks of
tramp ships, but in winter they are
tucked away in the engine room or in
hunks as near the fire as possible.
When they are brought to the market
in winter they are not kept in tanks
filed with water in the wholesale fish
market. as they are in summer. They
would not live half day in the water.
Turtle dealers have a room where the
animals are kept in stock. 1t is in the
second story, and is reached by means
OF steep ladder which suggests a
query how Il 100-pound turtle could be
got up or down in a mans arms. The
room is kept closed. In the middle of
the room is big coal stove that is kept
hot day and night. Around the stove,
on old chairs and boxes of various
sizes, turtles lie on their backs with
their fiippers tied. Very tender-hearted
dealers put under the turtles heads
pillows made of bags stuffed with saw
dust or excelsior. The turtles are not
put on the floor because the cold strik-
ing up through the ceiling of the mar
ket below would kill them. They
never take food or water after they
have been removed to their winter
quarters. Notwithstanding the pains
taken to keep them alive and comforta-
bic, the dealer frequently finds two or
three in hundred dead when he visits
the room. The reason is not known,
unless it is that their vitality is low
from not taking nourishment. If the
fire in the stove goes out lie usually
finds the whole lot dead
The demand for turtles is much
greater in winter than in summer.
They are so oily and their flesh SO cloy-
ing that few can eat it in warm weather.
The city demand is constant, and there
is also a lively call from outgoing
steamers. One big turtle will provide
soup for u first cabin table from New
York to Liverpool.-N. Y. Sun.

Seventy-Five Lives Thought to Have Been

ST. ETIENNE, Dec. THE noise of
two terrific explosions was heard here
Sunday Afternoon at 1880 O'Clock com
ing in the direction of one of the col
liery pits belonging to the company
As between sixty and eighty men
were down the shaft. the utmost
CONSERVATION prevailed. Doctors were
summoned and relief parties organized.
Enormous crowds surged round the pit
mouths, and the relatives of those who
were known to be at work below made
frantic efforts TO pass the police line.
The work of relief was extremely
difficult to carry on because the ex-
posiou had affected the neigh boring
shafts and rendered them impossible
Another explosion took place in
the lower factory shaft. Up to
4 o'clock nothing was known
of the number of killed and
wounded. At last the first relief party
went down composed of nine men, but
the cage had descended only 40 feet
when it was enveloped in suffocating
smoke and gas, and the mez could go
no further, so the engineer in charge
gave orders to ascend to the surface.
Later ON seven men were brought to
the mouth of the pit badly injured and
one died. Seventy four men still re-
main below, and there is no hope for
their lives on account of the great
mass of earth dislodged by the explo-
sion, which has completed buried them.
3a. NIT has been ascertained that
seventy-five miners have persisted. The
wives. children and relatives of the en-
tombed miners still surround the
mouth of the pit, and the most heart
rending scenes are witnessed as the
bodies of the victims. are brought tc

JAPAN NEEDS AID.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. s. - The for
eigners' relief committee of Yokohama
has issued an appeal to the people of
the United States on behalf of the suf-
ferers by the earthquake which oc-
CURED in central Japan October 2s.
The appeal is signed by Admiral Bel
KNAPP, commanding the Asiatic squad
ron, and by the United States consular
officers at Toxic and Yokohama. Re
garding the calamity Admiral BeIlSnap
says:
"As communication is obtained with places
before unbeard from IT becomes certain that
the misery and devastation are vastly
worse than had been supposed In one
mountain village, for example, every in
dividual was either killed crippled.
and not one was able to 90 for aid TO
neighboring towns The actual number 81 per
sons left homeless will reach $4,000 Fields,
roads, bikes, potteries, tools aud shops have in
many cases been destroyed. aud every means
of livelihood thus been taken away. The com
ing winter will greatly aggravate the distress
OF their condition.
The people of our country, perhaps. do not
realize that Japan IS a comparatively poor
country. Under the circumstances its re-
sources for giving relief are not adequate. II
cannot but look abroad for assistance. II is
from the United States that the most
may be expected. The plentiful resources
of our own country, and especially
the uniquely prosperous condition in
which abundant harvests will place 1t justify
in appealing to our countrymen to make a
special effort to relieve Japan. All contribu-

DOM PEORO'S LAST HOURS.

Brazilians Regret His Death. but VIII
Not Tolerate ANY of His Family.
PARIS. Dec THE accounts of the
scenes at the death-bed of Dom Pedro
show that to the very last his thoughts
were of the country over which he had
SO long ruled and whose welfare, des-
pite the treatment accorded to him and
his family, he had so closely at heart.
The ex-emperor was conscious to the
end. At almost the last moment he
exhorted the Countess d Eu, his daugh-
ter and formerly heiress apparent
to the Brazilian throne, and
her husband to bear up against
sorrow and to pray with him
for the greatness and prosperity
of Brazil The Countess D'Eu has no
present intention to protest to the Bra
lillian government against her exile
from the country, but she maintains
all her rights in connection with the
crown. She says she is ready to re-
turn to Brazil at the first summons
sent her.
immediately after the death of the
ex-emperor all present in the room
knelt and kissed the hand of Countess
D'Eu who, upon her fathers death, in
stantly became invested with all rights
TO the throne of Brazil.
A Rio de Janeiro dispatch says that
the news of Dom Pedro's death was re-
ceived with sincere grief by the Brazil
ians. But while all unite in regret for
the former emperor there is deep and
strong determination that the en-
pire should never be revived.
Should the Princess Isabella and the
Count d'Eu make and persist in any
demand for the imperial succession the
result will probably be the confiscation
of all the property of the imperial fam
ily in Brazil
