"Of course it didn't. And that is the

she was as good as married to a man
as will be able to support her, and
make a lady of her."

already"
THANK me for that" she says, with
a toss of her head.
II do, heartily. AS for the man,
name him."

II will, then. Mr.. Druce."
"a better man than you any day"
"That may be. But I know he's not
the man to make Mabel happy"
Hell make her both happy and
rich" she retorts. "And you step in
with your smooth tongue, and spoil her
life"

conjunction and rue and jealousy.
'1ll not stand in the way of her happi-
ness. Call her in, and il she says now
she prefers another Til bid her good
bye, as is a mans duty"
She darts from the room and brings
in Mabel, and then there is a scene.
The mother wants to have all the talk
to herself, and l am too much cast
down to stop her; but Mabel does.
"Amos," she says, sis it true that you
do not love me?"
/ know by that question that her
mother has been working against me
secretly. But out of regard for Mabel's
peace of mind at home, l repress the
hot words that are rushing to my
tongue. 1 answer simply that I loye
her devotedly, and that I would pour
out my hearts blood in her service. I
make no reference to the wicked
tongue that has maligned me when my
back was turned. Then Mabel tells
her mother-before my face, bless her!

white and sly and she does not
reply to Mabel's outburst. So, her
breath not being employed to fan the
fire, it cools down, and thatv storm is
over.
Well, I am a little disturbed at the
difference in our ages, which I never
thought of before Mabel's mother spoke
of it. Truly, I am old enough to be her
father, though as for my hair getting
white, that's a fable-there isn't a gray
hair in my head. Still, the twenty and
odd years between me and her are
like twenty and odd little imps mock
Ing and pricking me. How I should
like to poison some of them, and bury
them out Of all knowledge!
Meeting Mr.. bruce at this point OF my
musings, he looks at me as though he
would be glad of the opportunity of
killing not only my twenty and odd
years., but all my other years as well.
I am too happy to return his scowl,
and he makes an angry motion and
passes on.

HELP FOR IRELAND.
The Money That is Sent Home by the
Irish in America.

The poor Irish boys who toll and

found in the kitchens from Connecti-

give OF their flesh and their muscle,
and their spirit, that they may win the
yellow gold which will keep the hearth

around the circle of hastily gathered
neighbors, amid EXPLANATIONS of joy
and ejaculatory prayers for poor Shu-

bliss an prosper her every day the sun
dawns on her!"
1t is difficult to estimate the proper
ton of Ireland's present-day prosper

wages earned by Irish boys and girls
in America-but the proportion Is
much higher than is generally sus-
pected. In the poorer parts of Ireland

Kings and Presidents.

Napoleon, with face as If it had
been modelled from a-Greek cameo, was
never, in Talleyrand's Judgment at all
events, quite a gentleman. He gesticu-
lated too much, and was altogether too
violent for the correct taste of the great
noble trained under the old regime.
Perfection of body is not necessary
either, for many misshapen men have
been dignif1ed even when they were
not, like the Due de Vendome, Princes
of the Lilies in days when that distinc-
ton meant so much. Little men and
wizened men have BOTH inspired awe,
for great soldiers trembled if Louis
XIV. frOwned, and no man received
without weakened knees a rebuke from
William III. The prutruding under-lip
of the Hapsburgs has never detracted
from their majesty and Victor Ema. u
ell, who, for all his good manners, al
ways suggested to the onlooker a bull
face to face with the matadUr, was for
all that every inch King. 1t is rare

1t is very difficult to think of lofty
dignity accompanied by bad squirt,
or to associate the idea with that kind
of refous look which in ordinary men
invariably suggests underbreeding.

Life on a Torpedo Boat.

So Injurious is life on a torpedo boat
that a years continuous service will
mentally and physically incapacitate a
man. This assertion is made on the
authority OF Lord Charles Beresforf
but that the strain on any one serving
on these crafts is very great is shown
by the fact that to one months service
the British naval regulations allow one
week off. Austria is endeavoring to
mitigate the hardship Of service on
these boats, and life ON one built for
the Austrian navy, and tried on the
Thames recently, was demonstrated to
be pleasanter than on those of the Eng
lish navy.

many seasons. az Yellow Sulphur was
the entertainment given on Tuesday eve
ming OF this week by Captain Holt and
Miss Innis Holt IN honor OF the guests
OF the Yellow and a number Of friends
from the towns nearby. Originality and
variety were added 10 the affair BY the
fact that each lady wore a paper dress,
and this, Of course. afforded a large field
for the exercise of the ingenuity natural
to the fair sex in the matter Of chess.
The result was a combination OF tints,
blending in one harmonious maze Of
color The entire lower floor of the large
hotel was decorated-the halls and ball
room in cedar and running vnes-whie
the parlors were literally banked with
exquisite flowers. Over the whole scene
shaded lamps shed a soft glow. In the
corner OF tho writIng-room there stood
amid a bank OF flowers. an old Virginia
punch-bowl, which throughout the entire
evening furnished refreshments 10 the
guests.
Promptly at Q o'clock the grand march

OF couples for supper was formed, and
