This aid woman did know much more than Mr. Caper was aware of. When they were alone the fk-st thing she said start ed Job. Come, how much am I to get?? You get! What you ttlkln' about?" "If yoo make any money, why must I have nothing?" "Make money) Why, bless my soulbless Tour old soul, I'm out now mor'n forty dollars!" Humph. Ton can't fool me." "I don't want to fool you. You must be crazy." The old woman looked at him fixedly. "You're not foolin me?" What in the name of the Seven Sleepers would I want 1 1 fool you for?" "You are fooling me. You've found wit who she is. You've found her people. " They're rich, and they've lots of money to pay fir finding her. Now, yon OM't fool me. Mr. Wonder." "Gosh haugtt all, be sou smack clean, clear gone crazy? Find nothing. Know mithing. 1 just would like tc find out sfDMthing, but you ain't helpin' a mite." You do took as if you were telling tltetrntfa." "See hyar now. I don't want you to toll me Job Wonder lies " "Ai yoo don't know who her people are?" Wish I did." "And they ain't rich?" Oh! Go to grass." "Yon wont make a pile of money." Good-day to yoi " ." Good-day to you." ' Blamed old foot!" Come back. Til tall yon what I snsnect" Job returned to the wooden sent, and eit down beside her. "I sos Dec t she's con! of rich people." Ehl Why?" I saw her mother's linen it was fine fine fine. And so wits the child's." That all!" "No. Her mother pu on airs." . Humph. " I know when people put on airs. f;he did. And when she was dying, 1 l.eard her talking. Sho thought she was at home again with he r mother. " "Well go on now. " She used fine wAtTP-and wlat she said satisfied me, -her niother was rich rich." Well, and suppose she was maybe she hasn't a copper new. uika as not Sfsall gone." No, tt isn't She was at home In Unglaod." "How do you know?" Don't I know the English ways, and linglish words. There s no hedges and public bake-ovens in this country like there are in England. I till you wholiver Joes grandmother is, she's rich lie! . Jon's motber sahi It in her fever. " "rYell, VA be glad of It" Yes, but if you tad her for her irrandmother, you must give me something. Youll comu to me?" I'll give yon something right now. There's fi re dollars." The old woman looked ail around her iuspietously as she clutched the notejtc gave her, and concealed it (prickly. I knew yon were a gentlen.au come to me again if you want to know anything about Joe. " "Yes," stt Job. But he went away so oiMrtfBted with the c Id woman that ho wsolred never to see her again. He dbl not know whether to ballevo her or not But be could not understand Caper's manner or advice. Caper didn't want Joe, evidently. He appeared to think she was a good riddance. Why? Job asked himself again and again. Why? And, if toe old woman told ine truth, who was Joe? If her grandmother was living, it was his duty to help to restore her to her people. How, Job began to think cf it Joe ought to have some relations. S he ought to have some name, "What was her real name? Who was Joe, anyhow?" That's what 111 try to find tut' said Job Wonder to-himself' its he set out for Sew York. CTAPTK1S XII. When Job found number , street. ho was nshend Into the presence of a gentleman of uncertain age. His manner was that of a young mac. bat his complexion, the wrinkles, and gray hair were such its a man of sixty might have. Mr. Jsnks was an old young man. Old in running, ia livinj fast, in the knowledge of men. He was only young- from tSe knees down. His springy step was like that of a panther. Just now he was done with the vanities of tlte world. He had arrived at the m starts age of forty, and had concluded to give the husks to the Lord. He had long, bony lingers, a nose like a tuf&lr mnft. m. fan aflHm nu.lr Ha " wm .wuB, m en J mwj. uu . had thin, bloodless lips, fishy eyes, and a narrow, retreating chin, tie had a habit a vary disgust! ag habit, of which he was wholly unconscious the dirty habit of biting hts finger-nails. The moment he announced himself, Job observed that Mr. Jenks began to chaw his finger nails, and the lawyer's I action instantly excited the farmer's suspicions. To explain: Mrs. Wonder, many yobrs before, had endeavored to persuade her husband to have nc dealings with a neighbor who desired to purchase a! peculiar wedged-shiped field. The) neighbor professed ho wanted it to assist him in a sheep pasture. As he told his story Mrs. Wonder sat knitting. When the neighbor departed she said: "Job, dai't you sell It, or you'll rue it" "Why, Maria?" I can't tell why. Only I know Mr. Breen was bitting hit. finger-nails all the time he was here. 1 can tell a man's honest by his hands. Mr. Breen is' not ah honest man and the habit is so disgusting that it ought to teach people. They ought to took at his hands." "Pooh! Maria. TeH a man by Ms hands?" "Yes, Job. I can tall a man or woman's honesty by their hands. And I'm not the only one. " Job laughed. It was ridiculous. "I never knew a straight out honest man or woman .bito their finger-nails, Job." . "Dont ever let anybody hear you say that, Maria." Job sold the field to Mr. Breen not because he wanted t; he did it solely to accommodate a neighbor. In a little less than a month a great company sent a lawyer to him so ask his price for a portion of his land. The farmer had just discovered it contained very valuable mineral and a peculiar day rarely found in the State. The knowledge was evidently shared by people he did not know. He was gives, to understand the mpany was willing to give htm four times the value of his farm in tho past Jor forty-five acres. He slept over it He talker to his friends, consulted tlte county surveyor, and concluded he would let the company have fifty acres for double the amount the lawyer offered him. The lawyer telegraphed his prltclpals; the company immodiately ordered the papers to be made cat "Of course you understand this fifty acres includes the field on the north side of the road, Mr. Wonder that five acres, or less. "No. I sold that wedge to Breen." The lawyer stared at him. "To your neighbor Breen?" ' "Yea," mm
A month ago, I guess." The lawyer whistled. Then he swore. Then he turned pale with eogor. "Mr, Wonder, this is a rascally business of Brenn's. I thought you knew that man. I could tell you some things concerning him that would surprise yon. However, ho sha'n't make much out of ma" "Why, what are you talking about What's he to do with this deal?" "Everything, now. How nro wo to get In to the land? We ctn't get ovor to it by balloon, and that wedge runs right along the front at the only part of the land a road can bo made." "I begin to see," "You do? Well, unless you are prc-
I pared to give us your house, your very Dost nolds your entire larni or two Hundred and eighty acres, in abort the leal's off." Job Wonder looked at the lawyer stupidly. "What do you want me to do?" Hi "Nothing." "But I'd like to sell. It's a good price " "I'll buy, but as things stand I'll advise .more, 111 see the company does not pay a farthing more." "That ends it then." "Oh, no. " "What osn I do?" "lrou can buy back from Bre'en. Ho thinks we'll buy. I wouldn't permit the company to buy an Inch from him; if he offered it at tho same rata you do I'd take ft Not till the crack of doom cou d that man compel us to give him a farthing mora " Mrs, Wonder rejoiced. She didn't care whother the land was sold or not; and Breen's dirty practices had been fully exrjosed now before the wholo county, for tho story was in everybody's mouth. "I'll buy back that wedge," said Job. "Why I'd sold my whole farm for $20,000 two months ago, and hyar's these people offering mo S:i5,000 for fifty acres." He wont to Bieen, and came back raing to his wife. "What do you think? That fellow WMiti. me to give him half what tho coinpa ir gives me!" "1 knew that before you went over. W'jll?" "He'd overheard it somehow know the company was going to deal with mo. " "Mr. Breen Is wideawake for hlmseif. Well why don t you fiuish it? Give him half. After selling to him to accommodate a neighbor, why don't you help him get rich?" "What! Give him 512,500 for land I sold him for $250! No! But I'll wind him up now. " And Job proceeded to wind his neighbor up. He proceeded to cut a roadway that was the wonder of Acorn County. He had his land resurveyed, then cut a huge slice out of the hillside next the wedge-shaped field that left a gully, or ditch, bordering the hill side of the wedge that was impassible, Breen's wedge was entirely cut off by tho now road.. In the cutting process, an unexpected doposit of mineral was fully exposodmore than compensating for the outlay, which whs vast Job expended six thousand dollars but he was in the heart then of his mineral doposit a greater deposit tlu.n that the great company first expocted to reach. The butt end of the wedge-field lay i text his land. The lane was on his own !and. He offered the ounty lsnd for a new :tad a Hhorter road; the county acpted his offer, and Breen had to come o htm Inside of live months to consult ilm about a way to get into his wodgoHeld. Job retained a royalty on his mineral land, sold to tho great compai y the fifty icres less the wedge-field for fifty housand dollars. He was thousands ahead and Breen vas punished "But it was half luck," Mrs. Wonder said. Job remembered all this as ho observed the thin, lawyer biting his nails. He became suspicious at once. He was not a stickler for forms, on tie contrary, he was independent, democratic, but a stickler for cleanliness. "Ahem" Mr. Wonder, you seem very anxious to find this girl. By the way, take a scat sit down. By the w&y, how old i3 the girl you are in search of?" KWell, along from fourteen to sixteen." : "Ah! You didn't describe, her in your advertisement" "Well! no. I left that for them as knows where she is to-do. "That is a good deal like the Irishman's answer to the clork in tlte postoffice. He woddn't tell his name till he got his letter." Mr. Jenks Unghed. Job, listenlr g to a cackle rather than a laugh, took a hearty dislike to the lawyer. I corao to compare notes, Mr. Jenks. Cone a good ways, too." "There's no hurry, take your timetake your time, Mr. Wonder. Now, thero is a client of mine who has a young lady in view. She would bo about fifteen, and I am led to believe she has dark hair, dark eyes, and is rather small for her age." "You are not sure," said Job. "Are you looking for a girl like that?" "I am." Thero was a lengthy silence. The lawyer was the first m speak. "Is there anything of moment depending: on tie girl you want?" - "Well, yes." Job was going to add it would ease his conscience, but ho conclbdod this lawyer wouldn't appreciate " motives. "In what way would it benefit you or hei" or ttny others, If thero are others?" "Don't put so many questions at once. I came here to compare notes. If you know of such a girl, or can help find hur, I'll tell you Just what I came for. I'll go that fat-." "I think I cin ba sure of where such a girl was six months ago. "Six months ago! Why, she was in Barnesville Poorhouss-the girl I'm after, si: months ago. " "Precisely. I know that " "You know tt?" "O, ye j. 1'rn aware of the manner in which you took a girl from the poor-L-onse, and it is greatly to your credit "I don't think so at all. Anybody would have dono tie same In my I lace." "In your place very good. But everybody has not filled yonr p'ace. Well, the girl you took may, or may iiot be the girl 1 have In view. It Is just to determine that that I wrote to you. I would have gone to you but as the girl Is in the city " "Whatl Is Joe here?" "The girl I mean is In this city." Jenks was blttntr his nails again. He made Wonder very nervous. Wonder fidgeted, and the lawyer mi apprehended him entirely. "We'll cut this right short then. I'll go and 1sce ber; that'll settle It " "But you can't just at once. We must go siow, Mr. Wonder. " "When can I see her, then? I haven't much time to lose hyar." "We will try to arrange It so you can see her to-morrow. It must be managed very carefully. " "Where is she? She isn't locked up, Is she?" The lawyer smiled. "O, not She is in excellent hands the girl I have In view. "How long has she benn In town?" I cannot say some time." "Three months?" "Perhaps. I think so." "It's Joe, I'll bet a dollar." - "I hope so. I will have to see a third party, and afterward I will commnnlcato with you, so that you can be on hand and see the young lady. " "Oh, Joe ain't a young lady, she's just a bit of a girl. " Mr. Jenks was biting his nails again. He smiled curiously. "Can you be on hand to-morrow morning say at ten?" "I can be here at six!" "No, nol Nobody is over np at th.vt hour bore, Mr. Wonder; say at ten. " : "Ten be It, then. I'll bo on hand. " j "Ten," repeated the lawyer, as he bowed the farmer out The moment the firmer departed from , Mr. Jcmk'g office, tliit gentleman palled : t a pnrtoa la an toper roomi '
"Ike Sera I waax you, and bo Iwoly. " A dretsy young man with a VBry knowing look appeared. "Jump down after tho man who loft me a farmer with i white hat follow him and report to mo." Tho young ma;i, who had his list on, tipped it a little ti 0110 side and hastened away. He returned at tho ond of an hour. "Stops at the A Houso; rcg istarcd Job Wonder, to-day. " "That's right Now then, Iko, I've fifty dollars1--mind, fifty dollars lor you If you'll do what I want you tc. Put yourself 1p the way of finding out which of tho girls living at Monsieur Dufaur's academy came there about three month's age from tho country Vou must do It this evening, or before nine to-morrow. If you can, mako an oxcuse to see her. And if It Is possible, find out what hour she can bo seen on tho street or about the houso. " "I can dc that, I guess. What's wrong in calling to see my friend from tho country, aud discovering 1'vo mauo a mistake?" -That will do." "Where is my friend from?" "Near Barnesville." "Stable barn stablo I'll remember. Well?" "That's all for tho prcsont. Except that If you niauago neatly there may be mora In It for you-" "You couldn't give me a fiver on account, Nuneke?" "Therel Lord! the money you spend, Ike. I'm ca'lud down town, now you can close the office as soon as you llko." Ana tho lawyer placed his hat o:a his head and left tho office. Iko waited uutil he was down-stairs. Ho leaned out of the window, and watcbed Mr, Jenks step into a streetcar, that whirled htm down town. Then Ike whistled softly. "Fifty! Fifty! Lord! Hell bust sonio day. Wonder what's up! Ho'n awful close awful suspiclomi of me. iiever lets me see tho lady that calls once a week in a stylish turnout All I've seen is tho top of her head. White haired! Sich! Footman! And he works among his private papers so much. Willi, hero gees to learn something. " He locked tho door, too': from his pocket a bunch of keys, opened a drawer, ilftedta bundle of letters out, and glf.ncod tt them. "These are all from England, There's a crest on 'era, too Ike's face was a study as ho he'd his head on one side and 'looked at the m-nogram, which ho termed a "crest" "A crest Now, that moans blood blue blood. And blue bleed in England means money. Mouey, and lots of it What's in 'cm?" He opened a letter the first tliatoamo to his hand, and smiled as he rot.d It "Whew! She's giving him Ilai; Columbia, and, oh, my undo! What a sweet-scented one ho Is! How he must have lied! Lord, how ho lies! Why, If I live to be a hundrod, I never car hope to teach uncle at lying. I do baliove he tells lies in his sleep." He took up another letter. "Humph! This isn't so so glnfierish But my sweet uncle's lies stick out fo straight, it's a wonder any oie could fold the paper over them. Why, what a liar ho is!" A third lotter was glanced at "Hello! Mol-l-l-o o! What's this'" Eh? Struck a gold mine!" Then Ike suddenly sat down, ceased to talk to himself, and proeoede 1 to mastor the contents of a dozen or more letters. At the f nd of half an hour bo rose, drew a long breath, replaced tie letters carefully in the order iu which he found them, and pondered "I knew he was deep very deep, but I never thought ho was so infernal sly so cute as ho ia He's playing it deep game!" Ike's brow's corrugated; his mcuth was closed with a curl that expressed a sneer and .suspicion. "What's the litt'e game? Fin a peanut shell if I don't find out! I must find it out. But what's the diffcronc what his game U? I've, a plan, too, ond I'll play it for all it's worth. And I'll begin now Instbnter forthwith, as w.i lawyers say if not sooner. " And then Ike, with a knowing: look, carefully locked the door beaiuj him, and set out on tho errand his uncle sot him to do "Rich if she! Well, we see if I can't come in for my sharo. If I don't get ahead of the old mini' now, I hope my head may bo sold for an old ovstor can, that's all!" And Ike set out on his erraad to tho Dufaur mansion. to iik continued.
Sha Bad No Claim, but Vf anted Har Hatband with Bar. That there are more ways than one of getting a thing was strikii gly illustrated the other day at tho Central Depot, when one of the most astounding of all astounding reqaeats for passes went on record. It was made by the wife of ; wellknown actor and man about town, the nephew of one of Gotham's most prominent literary women. The actor's wife came in with a naive smile and asked for Mr. Depew. Upon being informed that the urbane President of the New York Central would Loi be able to see her personally, she remarked that her business wits very urgent, very important, and could only be arranged by Mr. Defiew, After some delay the affable secretary of the President made his appearance and told her he wi.s authorized by Mr. Depew to attend to her wants, assuring her that he would do all for her that Mr. Depew would do. "Very well," she said. "My name ia Mrs. Blank. My bxsbtnd is an actor. He wont out on the road recently with a certain company, which is now stranded in Boehester. The manager ha? absconded and my husband is without funds unable to get home, I have no money to send him, but I want him home I should like a pass, for him from Rochester to New York." "May I inqufc-s, madam," uskod Mr. Duval, "what claim you havo upon Mr. Depew to watrant yotir making tueh a request?" "None whatever," was the prompt response. "Don't know him. Never saw him. Never t.ven beard him make a speech on hi travels in Europe. Shouldn't know him if he walked out of his office this moment. But I know he has a kind heart, and 1 want my husband with me. That's all." "Come here, George," tall:?d Mr. Duval to one of his clerk i. "Wiite this lady a pass as she directs. Goodmorning, madam; I hope you aud your husband may speadUy be reunited. " New York Recorder.

CAPTUKED THE CITY.
DETROIT TAKEN BY GRAND ARMY VETERANS. Old Soldiers Oatlier Is Michigan's Metropolis to Ciilelwato the Stiver Annlviir.ary of the G. A. 1C Tltio Ocoaalon One of Great Rejoicing:. r is Just twentylive years slneo a iinall body of soldiers of the civil ar gathered at Dccatur.IlL, and organizer, that grand una patriotic body of men, the Grand Army of tho Itepnblic. Tho annual encampments have always-been occasion; of great jollification, and now that ti e order has reached tho quarter coutury milestone of Its oxistence, it is not surprising that tho advance guard on arriving In Detroit to celebrate t'ae "Silver Anniversary" should greet each other with lusty hurrahs, li'. ariy hanilsha.kos and hat throwIngs, under profusion of bespangled and beribbonod decorative draperies that formed a rainbow canopy across tho line of parade. Froiri ond to end of that long line of gray-b -;ardcd veterans as they entered I)otrob there was not a gloomy face nor a hoavy heart for the rejoicing seemed t send an electric thrill through ovory form, banishing al! gloom and sadness. The vo Grans came together this year like a holiday crowd in a city given up o carnival. Even the sober visnge of Dr. Stephenson, the founder of the Urand Army, as it loo'ced down from innumerable banners upon the happy faces of tho anniversary throng, seemed to break Into smiles in keeping wi;h the moods of the merr; hour. Tho war's wild alarms that called these young old men froni the cheerful fireside to the tented field are mors than a quarter century forgotten, and, though thero s re stinging scars and aching bones still lingering as mementos of tho fearf.il days of carnage. thesi cuasod from troubling while the heart mud - holiday through the rounds of a military pagea nt Grim and grizzlod canuoneers wandered along the parapets of old Kort Wayne, the time honored guardian of tho city and harbor, and shouted meriy ha-has down the iron thioats of the monster guns. The meeting of old comrades was one of rejoicing and peace peaeo and Its blessing plenty and exuberance of life, and means of enjoyment; peace that was fought for, was purchased with toil and blood, was won in death struggles, and given to tie nit ion by these merrymaking veteran.

During the twenty-five years ol Its existence tho Cii-and Army of the Hopublic has bad a remarkable career, it was organized at Recatur, 111., on April ti, 1 S'i'i. The founder of the order was Dr. lirniiaiulii K Stephenson, who was Surgeon of the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry, and was mustered out in 1864. It Is a master of general regret that Dr. Stephenson did not livo to see somo of the b'lioiiclal results from his labors, lie died when tho order was struggling with cdverslty and political disscns'oiis. Up to 1.871 tho organization irrew but slowly, owing to itit boiug regarded a political and religious body, llrxdually these Influences disappeared, nnd a healthy and rapid growth set in. Tho first post commander was M. F. Kauan, and the first national commander (Ian. .Stephen A. liuribut In 1SUU the first post was organized in New York City, tho charter being obtained from Illi'iols. This post is tho present Phil Kearney Post, No. 8. The New York VOHT WAYNE. department was organized in If!u7. The first department commander was Col. .1. ii. McKean. and the second (.'en. Daniel J5.

Its ebjects are: "The preservation of those kind and fraternal feelings which havo bound together with strong cords f f love and affection the comrados in arms of many battles, sieges and marches; to mako these ties availablo in works and results of kindness, of favor and mutudl aid to thoao in need of assistance; to mako provision whoro ft Is net already done for the support, caro and education of soldiers' orphans, and for the maintenance of tho widows of deceased soldiers; for tho protection and assistance of dlsablod so'dlers, whother disabled by wounc s, sickness, old age or misfortune, and for the establishment and dofense of the late soldiery ef ti e Unite.

The 'tlrowlli oC Child. Ideas.
r- Jfcrof Str bight, of Oewego, iu an als befo)'c the school teachers of 3ait- , Oonnsotiout, says : "II we car. tbmK of tbe lime eiiild, just born into the world, its senseii juat epening to the word the eye, the oir and the touch of the impressions from ihe external world showering down upon these senses theire is tho beginning. The waven of ether from the tnglit light beat apon the eye and tho child at once diitinguishcB the bright light from darkness. . Soon bright ijolors attract the attention; and eo it begiins at the outset to study o-ptics, diiicoveri ig light and ohade. If arm neit comes into its consciousness. Thereby if learns to distinguish its mother or nurse from other people. I w;t8 told of an experiment tried lately by a teacher at a kindergarten. A vt-ry young ohild hod been accustomed to see a bright dr.:ss upon its ntothor, and knew her only by color. A young lady friend put on the mother's dress and oame into the room where the baby was and was immediately taken for the mother. The child had not progressed far enough to distinguish between them by form. O'iher children were eimilaiiy experimented upon, but they hail boen educated to form and color so m not to be mistaken. After discovering optics end forms the child begins to study sounds, and neon distinguisheu the mother's voioo from any other voice. It: also learns to distinguish striking sounds from sounds produced otherwise. Next folloivs the knowledge of number. As 30011 bb a child has one pain and one ploapure it begins to learn number; when it realizes two pains and two pleasure ii has learned numbe rs. It isjtst as easy for a ohild to f--Kit, j6.-ik;, cubes and tn iao mm t , with oranges auu e.pptes. Aiidso eoos as the little child can loeate a pain within its body in one of its limbu or its 1 head there is locality, the beginning of geography. Its striking, kicking, and wiggling enables it to discove : tho siiioothnejiB and roughness of bodies. The child next begins to study its own form its hands arid feet. I never shall forget the pleasure and surprise that my own little boy showed when he discovered that he had ears. When he put his hand on the side of his head anil found something that he iad not know::, oi before there wnii a thri3 1 of discovery. This joy of discovery is like that which thrill every true discoverej. Wo can see these powers of discovery in the first few weeks or months of the child 's life.Why ts Ilea Hare Little Wives. There Is a very general and ancle at impression that nig mon Iu choosing wives ureter smi.il women. At hist glance this would appear to ho true, tcause the number of big men with Utile wives is certainly In an overwbelrnnlog majority as we see them. In the 11 vo years I have held my office I have learned a thing or twr through the medium of tho mat ritgc .icensa olice, aad it Is my impression that it Is not tr at big men prefer llttlo women, but tl.at little women prefer big inor, and it is the experience of tho world-wise that what a woman wants and ' starts out to get she generally captures.
