"TAITIVY CLU3."

BT THANE TAYlA3. The room was brilliantly lighted by three crystal chandeliers. Around" a l.m-; table, littered with Teriodlcal3, several individual were reading or lounging', and the re-fc of the members present, numbering perhaps a score, were for tho moment di vided Into two groups, respectively discussing politics and polo. In the latter and younger qxoup w.is A grustne Tantivy, an exquisite of the first water, and owner ot the c'ub house which he ran chiefly for aran-emenfc; -wealth and love of pleasure bein.i die slue qua f in ot inenr.erahip.

Its tiny face was waxen white, and on its little head was a lace cap. "By Jove, boro'sapame:" exclaimed Weed, who was the nrst one to find his voioe. - "How in the name of wonder did it come here':" cried another. "I found it on tho d-wr-stcp, a r," explained the porter, enjoying; the joke immensely. "But what can we do with it?" "TJgh. Send it to the Foundling's Home," responded one of the older men. "Unnatural mother!1' was Hogh Severn's comment, as he thought fully regarded the child, "lee, pretty little beggar, it's too bad!" chirruped lively Tom Chanter, tapping; its ebeek with hii cnuc. "Aw weal lace on its clo'hes,' said Tantivy, who had been examining the infant etosery through bis eye-glass, as though it Was a fine work of art "Hullo, Tivy!

"I think our club ought to take up some philanthropic work, and I Propose that wo, as a body, adopt and educate this waif in the spirit of charity." Great applause, upon which the infant opens its eyes, smiles and tosses aloft a coral toyeovered with jingling- silver bells. "The project meets with un-uiinvms approval,'' continued Bnrke. 'Sow then, let us make a solemn compact to maintain this child for a certain number of years, none of an to see our protege until he or ske, whichever sex it may be, is, say, 17 years of age. Your hands upon it, gont'emcn." Twenty hands were joined above the child's head, and its fate was sealed. The next thing is to name the waif,'' said Burke. "T-a-a-a, By-the- by, Is It a boy or a girl? Fletcher, yoo. are the only married man heah. What do you fay?" said Tantivy. "Oh! it's a girl, sir. plainly; you see its hair pai bed in the middle." So la TivyV, That proves nothing," langhed Chanter. What kind ot an ornament is that?' said Augustus, disdaining to notice the reflection, and adjusting his gold-rimmed eyeglass again to examine a small enameled pin which fastened the infant's embroidered eioak. Aw a daisy; Suppose, then, we name it Daisy Blanc?" Three cheers for Daisy Blanc, the ward of Tantivy Clnb!" proposed Weed. The lfant,.startlcd by the noise, made a Tory wr face, throwing its gallant corps of BTnardians into sreat consternation.

"By Jove! it's going to faint!" exclaimed

Tantivy, hast ly putting- his turquoise vinaigrette under the infant's nose, with alarmins; effects Never before or since was laughter heard In a bachelors' elab with such an accompaniment "Here, Ketcher," ordered Burke, "carry (he child home toyour wife, and to-morrow itsbali be sent to Madam Campan." Accordingly the basket was borne oat and order restored. Madam fTnmnan. urevious to her marrhuro.

had been at the head of a famous French amtomv and. uDon being left a widow

without means, she determined to admit into her home a limited number of nrpbaus of hfarh parentage, to be educated with her daughter, ilouora, a?ed i. It was into this refined circle that Cyrus Bnrke succeeded in introducing the little Daisy, but only after considerable diiHcnlty and the oiler of extremely liberal terms, and, having concluded the arrangement, be nor any other member of the club took the least farther thought about the personality of then ward, simply regarding the matter of her support as a contribution to chant;-. . Xany years passed. There had been some

Inevitable changes in "Tantivy Club, niy seven of the original members remaining. Burke still being one of the number. Since that memorable evening when Kietcher introduced the little stranger in a bosket, the rending room had been re-decorated several times, and was now more luxurious with

gilt, frescoing and velvet than ever. Here the Immortal seven chanced to meet one evening, when Burke, drawing a notehook from his pocket, remarked: " Gentlemen, I suppose you have not forgotten the infant we adopted in this room seventeen years ago? Assuredly not: Well, Daisy Blanc is now 18 years of age. tho period of oar guardi nsbip is about at an end, and I have just received a communic:ttion f i om Kadam Campan stating that the young lady is fully accomplished, i nd desires to relieve us of all further respon-tbil-Jf becoming a teacher in one of the best P",'aVr schools in the country. Our philan-iT-wo,rk eig therefore concluded, we ffS.;?, ' V ,uci Miss Blanc at an evening Xrow m-rsonai ohwrvation ss far as mav be, B... ,-.tf,1t the invitation be

Unanimous assent, " I sav, boys, suppose we each go and call on the young lady set arately previous Ao the reeeptionJ" " That would be rather a good idea, I fancy," drawled Augustus Tuutivy, who had grown older and mor exquisite than ever. " For my part, I sh ill raako no attempt to (see her until the evening named n, week hence-esponded Burke with decision. All the others f avo. ed Tantivy's plan. "Very well!" said T m Chanter. "You see there are just six chu sand six visitors. So, to avoid clashing, W')'ll toss the dice for days. Here TH-yc u try first Now it happened tl at Mhdaui Campan was cnlied imperatively from home, by a summons to the sick-bed of her aged mother, w ho, we will prom ae, did not die at that time, but detainee. IVfodam, fearful of tho event, the eutire week. It true she left hoar tL-iig-hter in cb;uiro of tho six young-lad v pupils, but Honora, be'ng little older tbaiithc othei-s, was easily persuaded to enter i.ito a plan for having some amusement out of the eNportod visits. "IA-teu here, girls!" cried Madge, the mad-cap, in a great flutter of excil omenl. -We'll cut holes in, tb e panels of one of the doors leaiiiu" into tho drawing-room, so that wo can examine these iiuo fellow at our case, and the girl who happens to be best plearod with tiu one under inspection at the time shall peiROnate Daisy. She, of course, having tho ti rst choice." A gay peal of laughter greeted Madgo's proposal, and nothing was talked of out their wild plot and it detail No two of Atadani Campari's pupils wei'o alike in temperament or appearance. Daisy Blanc, the favorite of all, was a liulo creature, white and dainty as a snowllnko, with golden hair, tueas mist, and long, curling lashes, shading the earnest brown eyes. Alice also was fair, but attractive, rather than beauti-'ul, and extremely devoted to fashion. At the appointed hour, on Monday, the seven merry-makers were in their places behind tho library door, peering through ingeniously contrived apertures, when the nrst visitor, Harry Bristol, entered tho drawing room. With easy self-possession he glanced around, and, nndlor himself quite alone, sauntered to the 'mirror, to ascertain whether his cravat, wristbands and blonde mustache were still n faultless shape. Alice observed r.articularly that every article of his attire v'os of the finest des;ription, from his great seal ring aud fancy nun umbrella to the little gold puppy dangling from bis watch-chain. How do you liks him?" she whispered anxiously to Daisy. "Not at all," was the reply. "Then I'll choose him, t'07 I think ho is just splendid." Accordingly, Miss Alice, daintily droBscd in pale blue silk, wiih many tiouncee, glided into the drawrng-i-oom and held out hor hand to Harry DiistoL who advanced to meet hor with a gav siuilo. "I den't think it's fair to Hston, girls," sa!d Slirium, who was of the strong-minded lirerary turn, a decided brunette, with btuuing Mack eyes, 'No. indeed!" cri'd Fieda: "none of us in

her nlace would like to lio watched. Let's

go upstairs and wait for hor. " .Two long hnurs pss-sod before Harry Bristol took his leave, and A'ice rejoined her companions with Dhiehhtg che-.'ks and a conscious expression. "He Tronsed to me and I accepted bira!"

-Oh, isn t it too perrcctiy, utterly aeugntful for anything!' cried impulsive Madge, clapping her ham Is, aud fairly screaming in her enjoyment of the frolic, "It's actually becoming intense!" murmured Lily, who was always quivering with soul, and never gashed.

They watched 'liui as he advanced, tossing hs hat on the table, his gloves on tho floor, his cine in o the nearest corner, and throwing himself indolently into a fourth plaec. -That's my boy!" chattered Flcda, who had suffered untold woes on aocount of her habitual carelessness, and hailed this masculine counterpart of herself with delight Daisy bad no objection, so Fleda danced into the drawing room, her beautiful hair in a tangle of sunny curls, and wearing a sailor costume of dark blue, with leather licit and blouse waist An hour later she ruBhed np stairs, and, with suppressed excitement, threw herself into tho arms of Madge, her dearest friend, and partner in m schief. Fieda, tell i8 quickly, did" he proposo?" cried Madge. "i'e: Ics! He did, and I like him immensely. Oh, I think I must have been created for him. because he do -lured that of ali things in tho world he hates primness and enjoys a convenient litter of things about h'm. Isn't it jolly?" The fun had now reached Its height, nnd the girls were hi a nervous fever to see who would come neit The hour and the moment arrived, the door opened, nnd behold, the inevitable Tantivyt He had absolutely exhausted the resources of his wardrobe to make himself utterly irresistible, and bis appearance created a profound sensation. "Daisy or lily for him!" was the general exclamation. "Lot it be Lilv, then," said Daisy, viewing the sybarite with a auiet smile. -

Well, you art a curious girl if you don't fancy him. He Is simply adorable! What a

mercy that I w t on this particular dress today. I know ho will admire it" Her drees was a delicate fawn color, made

after the trailing, classical style; the neck cut niuare, and at her belt she wore a bunch of brilliant red UiUps. Augustus Tailivy was enraptured by the vision of delicax y and refinement that glided

so graceiiuiy tc waru mm. "Ah! Chawn cd to meet yon. Mfe-s Blano.

"I do bcliovo a bit of mud ou his jKt tout-leather boots would forever unsettle his mind."

I am glad I nni not so easily impressed. Daisy and I at least are not entangled; but ah! who is this?" Catching the sound of a firm, manly footstep, she quickly surveyod the drawingroom, and saw the tragedlon-llke Montalto entering. Ho was dressed entirely in blaok, with a silk hat In his hand aud a light ovorcoat on bis arm. Honora observed tho quiet dignity nnd conscious power of every movement, the haughty curve of his lips, and tho fire in his dark eye. -He is superb!" was her involuntary exclamation.

"Hark! the conquering hero comes!" quoted Daisy, ianghtng with tho rest "Go! Go', cried they, gayly, forcing hor

away.

-l snnu no proua ro maso uu acquaintance," said Honora, departing, "but, depend upon it, thoro will be no engagement this time. Jioings like us never rush into serious situations without due consideration." After such positive assertions, Honora Campan could not lie Induced to confess exactly what happened in her private interv4ew with Montalto. Subsequent events, however, loft hor PTotostntions and preten

sions open to suspicion. And, aftor all, tho real Daisy Blano had mot nce of her guardians.

-Bho s as p;ayrul as a kitten," sola xom Chanter, thinking of winsome Madgo in her

rnh:od pink dross.

Munciito, rrowmng uartuy, nostcnea to correct him. . "Those are terms fit to apply to a romp, whereas Miss Blanc is dark-eyed and majestic." Chanter and Weed laughed this opinion to scorn. "No. woolly, you are dead wrong, Montalto, her eyes are blue as tho violets; lassuro you they are," drawled Tantivy, not half liking the discussion of his fiancee's charms "My dear follow, you must be dreaming," said Severn patronizingly, having a distinct and thrilling rememDrauce of Miriam's black orbs. "Wager you any amoant that her hair is auburn and her eyes a beautiful gray," said Bristol hotly. "1'oh! These fools nre all color blind!" thought Severn, while Montalto strode away in disgust. "ril tell you what, boys!" said Burke, "If the young lady is so agreeable, oue of you ought to marry her. " "Hum! Do yon think so, weally?" replied Tantivy, with a very knowing smile. "Well, I agree with you about lha(s and we'll consider the subject." "Precisely!" echoed Tom Chanter, ironically, we'd' think about it" Each man enjoyed the fancied delusion of how he had sold tl:c others; and ilurke alone, liaviDK-a clear consoiciice, wo.idored at their diffcrenco of opuvon, and th.i warmth of feeling displayed in discussing the personality of Daisy Jiluue. Madam Canipan was anxious that Daisy's appearance shonld rellect credit upon hor own motherly caro, and. with the instructive taste of a true French woman, sho wished her to bedres'ed enlirely in white, ut their little reception. Poriiaps she also indulged a scoiet hopo that her darling would be spared tho drudgery of being a school teacher by becoming tho wife of ono of her wealthy bachelor guardians, and certainly, when she floated into tho drawing-room that uvening.Daisy Blanc was exquisitely beautiful; a being who soemod madqjnily for luxury and love. Cyrus Burke thought so, when, appearing rather late, he found his six friends paying devoted attention to ono or the other young ladies, while the fairest of them all stood near f he door in solitary neglect Madam Campan camo into the room almost at the same instant with Cyrus Burke, and after casting a look of bewilderment on tho scene, she hastened to (,-reet him. "Mr. liurko.yon aro, I believe, the only ono here yet unacquainted with our Daisy, and I havo great pleasure in now presenting vou." She had hardly ccosod speaking when Augustus Tantivy with Lily clinging on his arm, approached the pi ooeptress, ud dicrted her attention by saying: "Madam, I have tho ettremo happiness and honnh to inform you that Hiss Jllano has accepted the offah of my hand in marriage, and, since vou havo been like a mother to iter, I trust I have your consent to our union." This little speech, uttered with affeotBtlon, nnd concluding with an elaborate bow, created a groat flutter among tho guilty girls, and before any explanation could bo made the live other accepted lovers stepped forward and made the same claim. "Madam. Pardon me There is ovidently a mistake. It is I who am the favored suitor for that lady's hand," said Moutalto, frowning darkly. "On the contrary," declared Tom Chanter, confidently, "Daisy Blano has promised to become my wife, and that shortly. " "Nothing like it, sir. She Is mme."eaid Weed, tersely. "Preposterous!" ejaculated Severn, "Let the young lady speak for hersoit She will deny your bold assertion, admitting that she is mine." "There is certainly some misunderstanding here, gentlemen," aaid Madura Carapan, with dignity, and now fully bclioving that her pupils had boon playing one of their mischievous tricks again. Taking tho real Daisy by the hand, with an affectionate caress, she continued: This Is Miss Daisy Blanc, gentlemen, and I do not think she is at present engaged to auy on&" '1 ho othor young ladies were then named and presented in turn, nnd Cyras liurko, after all. was left in undi putcil possession at tho Ward of "Tan ivy Club.

NITRO-W LYCEltl JiE. $oruo Singular Stories Concerning: Its Tremendous Kxplosive Force. INew York Special.) . Ono of my friends in this conference had boon an eminent contractor, ami something was said about tho Irish making a dynamite war on England, on which this gentleman remarked: "I have had ft good deal to do with nitroglycerine. I did some important Government work, such as the mak'i g of breakwaters, -where tho rock was bronght to me iu large pieces, and w had to blow it up, and used nitroglycerine for that purpose. It is tho most destructive tiling you can concoivo of. A little- cartridge of it as thick ns the end of a musket barrel, dropped to the bottom of an oil well, will shatter tho most tremendous primitive rock. Xon can taken piece of it half as big as your hand and it will blow a rook as big as this room in which wo aro sitting all to flinders. I can toll you of a very singular xroperty about nitro-glyeerino. On one occasion an ordinance was passed in a certain city where I was doing public work imposing a penalty of $501) for bringing nitro-glycerino within the city limits. I had to have it, so I told my foreman to put that glycerine under my table, at which I sat writing. As it is exploded by concussion, you may imagine that for a few days 1 was a little skittish. Thero was enough glycerine there concealed by that tablecloth to have blown up half a dozen blocks of that, city. People used to como into my room, sit a few minutes, ond suddenly one or more would put their hands to their head and complain of headache. Not being subject to headaches myself, I could not under stand it. I suppose that from one-half to three-fourths of all my visitors who sat with mo more than ten minutes would have those headaches. One day a man camo into my ollice who had been blowing out oil-wells in Pennsylvania. He .sat thero fifteen minutes and suddenly said : ' Why, I have a headache ; you must have niiro-glycorine here. 'Oh, no,' said I, with a smile. 'Yes,' said he, ' this is a nitro-glyeerine headache. I think I smell it, too.' Ho began to sniff his nose. 'There is a very slight odor, hardly perceptible, iu the stuff, ond it looks like a box of lard.' With this my visitor lifted the tablecloth and said : ' Have you gotit there ?' pointing to the boxes. Yes,' said I, with a laugh, ' that is nitro-glyeerine.' ' Well,' said he, 'it gives the headache to a large proportion of people who sit near it." "Did you havo any accident?" said I. "Ho, I did not; but a ftillow-contvac-tor, who was doing some work in Canada, was driven ont of that country by on accident that happened to him in a very simple way. Ho had been using nitro-glyeerine, and it is supposed that some of it got spilled on tho tire of a wagon, which was left unmoved for some time. One day hehitchtd a horse to the wagon and started to drive it off, and then that small amount of stuff adhering to the tire blew np asthj wheels moved, and really destroyed tuo-thirds of that little town. The people around were killed, the hotel was Mown to pieces, two or three blocks werj devastated, and my associate was umblo to do any contracting work in Canada, lie hastily sold what he left thoie to a native, and crossed the rivor and camo away, otherwise thoy would hav sued him for all tho damage done k that town." . Arkansas Hob's Prayer for liriggt. It was a touching sight to-.seo hov ihe boys stood around the dead form of Briggs and endeavored to hide their emotion and failed.
