No Poor Convict Act Business,

Harry Harris, colored, II years of age,
was before Judge Miller yesterday charged
with assaulting Washington Mills, also
colored, with knife
The testimony showed that the assault
was unprovoked and that Harris had
used large, sharp 5ackknife to stab the
complainant in the throat.
Judge Miller remarked that the charge
should have been assault with intent to
kill instead of simple assault, and sent
Harris to Jail for eleven months and twenty
nine days without fine.

CHAPTER VIII

Mr.. Brown had obediently taken
from the depths of a convenient pocket
a bundle of gloves, which combined a
rainbow of delicate tints, varying
from violet, lemon color, the blue of
a robins egg. to velvety black, and
the owner bestowed her gift with care
less good humor.
Left alone, after murmuring some
confused words of thanks, Dolores con-
%templated her first pair of fresh gloves
with an ecstasy of feminine content
ment impossible to describe. How
beautiful they were, of a texture like a
roseleaf! How deliciously they were
scented with some unfamiliar perfume,
which may have represented the first.
subtle odor of a perfected refinement
of civilization to the awakening senses
of the girl! She seated herself with the
poodle on her lap. stripped off the old
gloves ungratefully, casting them down
at her feet, and assumed the new ones.
Then she rose, and glanced about
her, irresolutely. Unfamiliar with the
mansion, she sought Lieut.. Curzon
on every side, with her glance. He had
promised to wait for her and conduct
her to the ballroom. Tiresome Florio
must first be given to grandpapa.
She went on to the neXt room of the
suite, .bewildered by her interview
with the singer.
In the second apartment a lady
had paused to button her glove.
She glanced up, recognized Dolores,
and came swiftly toward her.
She welded no fairy wand wherewith
to further embellish the poor, little
maiden admitted to this paradise of

Three Eyes a Day.

Casselrs Saturday Magazine: 1t is a
fallacy to suppose hat people who
wear cork legs and glass eyes are in
different to their personal appearance.
They are often vainer than ordinary in
dividuals. A rich man, for instance,
who is obliged to an artificial eye,
will wear three different eyes every
day-an eye for morning, when the
pupil is not very large: an eye for noon,
when the pupil is smaller, and an eye
for evening, when the pupil has eX-
tended to its full size. A dealer in
artificial eyes, who gave this informa-
ton. said he made about an equal pro-
portion of glass eyes for men and
women. Some people keep quite a
stock in their possession: in fact no
fewer than twelve eyes have been
made for ONE individual within three
years His son had got one made from
measurement, and that eye fitted so
perfectly hat the old gentleman, in an
outburst Of gratitude, wrote off for
eleven other ewes

revelry. Instead, her blue eyes dwelt
with an expression of wounding dis
approval on the fimsy, pink ribbon
encircling the golden-brown throat,
and the coarse texture of the dress.
The glance was one to eoldly discern
defects in other women rather thar
charms.
Miss Ethel Symthe. in a robe of pure,
white silk, subtly interviewer with
glittering silver, which shone like
diamond dust scattered over snow, in
spired fear, a chilling dread in the soul
of Dolores, as she looked at her. Why?
What had she done amiss? The ire
pressible fash of jealousy and irrita-
ton in the blue eyes of Diana may
have been the annihilating ray
launched at a rival, the obstacle in the
path, since the day of Queen Eleanore
and the fair Rosamund. Miss Symthe
had not failed to remark the folly of
mankind, as evinced by Capt. Blake,
and even the Ancient Mariner, Capt.
F%illingham, in lingering near the
Phenician of the tableau. The
anxiety and abstraction of Arthur
Curzon had inspired in her secret
uneasiness and suspicion. Where
had he found Dolores? Why was he SO
solicitous about her pose and aces
series in the scene?: Fate having de-
livered the innocent culprit into her
hands, this daughter of her century
decided to dispose of her in
fashion.
"Good-bye," she said with a naughty
bow. You are going away now, l
suppose. Mrs. Griffith is too busy to
see you again, 1 fancy, but it does not
signify, as l am hele."
The radiant face of Dolores clouded,
and she recoiled 2 step. She was ex-
pected to go away instead of dancing.
The words, look, and manner of Miss
Symthe pierced her heart, as the blow
of a whip might have stung her cheek.
Il Am not leaving yet" she STAN
mered. There is to be a ball"
Miss Symthe elevated her. eyebrows,
and bit her lip. She knew that the
Grand Duke had expressed a wish to
dance the next quadrille with the
Phenician. She was aware that
Arthur Curzon loitered in an adjacent
corridor to claim his partner. Rage
and bitterness filed the soul of the
young lady of many seasons.
You are mistaken" she said. in
such cutting accents that the listener
WINGED instinctively. You do not
know about such matters, of course
with another disdainful glance at the
pink gown and ribbon. You were
asked to share in the tableau. Mrs.
Griffith gives the ball to her friends"
Then why vas / invited at alp"
cried poor Dolores, piteously.

Ants Keen Cows.

There are other ways in which ants
are like us, though their bodies are SO
different from ours.
They have stables under the ground
in which they keep-guess what?-tiny
green plant lice, like those mama
will show you on her rosebush. The
right name for these little things is
"aphis." The stable ants take care of
them and bring them bits of tender
green leaves to eat.
The aphis is the ants COW. 1t does
no give exactly the same kind of milk
that we drink, but the ants are very
fond of what it does give. We call it
honey dew. When an ant wants some
he touches the aphis in a certain place
and the aphis gives a tiny bit of honey.
This Gems to me a wonderful thing,
and makes Inc feel as if the ants were
in some way related to us. Perhaps as
nearly as third cousins. Indeed, the
more we watch each little live thing,
the more we find that each has some
thing about it like us Everything is a
nice part of the lovely, useful world in
which we live.
