THE ASHES IN THE URN.

1t was on the third day out from
Queenstown that the rumor began
to spread through the first cabin
passengers. Mrs. Treherne gave
vent to it at dinner in excited
gasps.
Yes, that's the young woman,
dressed in black, at the far table.
Such a melancholy duty! No won
der she keeps to herself and never
smiles"
Her fathers ashes, did you
say?"
Her fathers ashes, my dear He
died in Paris, you know, and was
cremated there: and, being patri-
otto American. he instructed that
they should be brought back for
burial. They tell me it looks like
a large tobacco jar, and she keeps
it in her stateroom, and scarcely
stirs from there"
The young girl speedily became
ship. Many were the attempts
made to get into communication
with her, but all failed to elicit
more than monosyllabic replies.
All, that Is, except Monsieur Della
grange. With the pertinacity of a
Frenchman and singular obtuse-
ness to the girls evident distaste
for his society, he gradually sue
ceeded in striking up an acquaint-
ance. Sometimes the two would
promenade the decks together. The
inmates of the smoking room SUBJ
mitted him to some good natured
chaff, which he received with a
characteristic shrug.
One day, finding himself alone
with Mr.. Rose. tall, taciturn
American. he went over toward

passed down the gangway, carry

of customs was busy with her bag

And now, madam, permit me to
open your urn," he said finally.
The girl flashed round on him
indignantly.
"Sir, this urn contains the ashes
Of my father she cried indig-
nantly.
There was a scene upon the pier.
amid indignant fellow passengers.
Finally, with great reluctance and
copious tears, the girl was induced
to submit the precious urn for ex-
animation. The seals were broken.
Inside was quantity of gray pow
der and nothing more. The inspec-
tors confusion was pitiable. Amid
profuse apologies the girl swept
out of the room disdainfully and a
cab ratified her away.
1t was some months until Rose
met the lady again in the foyer of
the Metropolitan theater. She was
in evening dress and wearing a
pearl necklace of fabulous value.
Beside her stood well attired

The single fact that The Press
offers to do the city printing this

the Chronicle bids as cents an inch,
a so per cent increase over last

however, is properly confined to

liquor and add to 1t a stalk of cell

the boiling point, then add quar-
