The Poorhouse Waifs.
BT DAVID LOWRY. rURR XXT-OnttaMd He held oat a paper which a police man scanned closely, saying aa he passed it to Monaienr Dnfaor, who in his turn passed It to the clown, "Why, it is dated to-day." Te we were married this night here is the notary who marriud us. " The notary bowed assent, and Madame Dnfaur again exclaimed in her native toufne, aa she held, her hand up deprecaongly, "It is Impossible It cannot be!" "Is it true, tell me?" said Monsiour Dnfaur, turning to Joe. "It is false; he wanted me to marry him. He said Mr. Caper and Mr. Wonder here, who paid them to bring jno "Who said that? Who said it?" Job eoald not restrain his temper. His lace grew red as he tamed to Joe. "He told me yoa planned it all and Mr. Caper was to pretend yoa didn't. He said it. And he said you and Mr. Caper would take mo no matter where I went by law that the only way to keep from going to Barnesvlllo Poorhouse was to marry him." -You thievln you lying yon oroary raskaH!" shouted Job. maklugarush tot Ike. bat an officer interposed. "Yon wfJl have to settle this some where else. Don't fret, old man. You've a clear ease against this youag man, by the levies of things. " Tve given you all warning I'll sue yon tor false imprisonment and for alienating my wife's affection $, shouted Jenas desperately, as the officers proceeded to handcuff him with the notary. "Yes," said the notary, who, influenced by Jenks, hoped to swear himself out of. the difficulty. It was two to one, he argued, until Dick spoke up. Dick waited until the no tar; ended his threat in these words: "Yes, gentlemen you are making trouble for yourselves all of you. I'll proseento yon if it i osts me my last nennv." "No, you won't. exolaimed Dick. "I heard that man thers plan the whole thing; be was talking to tnce two men here," and Dick indicated two ruffians near him who were handcuffed together. "I heard them plan to pretend to let in the notary as a friend and Joa couldn't have married him after retting my note." "What note? demanded Jenks, savagely. Joe quickly produced the bit of paper, and Sen Brown read it aloud. As he finished reading it, the rufiian next to Dtck blurted out tngrily: "Blast It alt! That's the bootblack that wa io here awhile ago that yon wouldn't let me kick oat, We may as well own up, Jenks; the game's up, so far as I am eoneerned." "That's right," said Job Wonder, dryly. "Yon may as well own up, 'rpeshally as we've 'bout got all we want to knew without yon Then the policemen proceeded With their prisoners to the station, and closed up tae vile den, after providing lodgings lor 13 denfaena chaftohb xrri, rowan asnanramw -piamosd itdt diamond. It will be necessary, to explain events in their order, to return to he morning of tbti day on which Joe fell into the hands of Ike Jenks' accomplices. Jenimiah Jenkswas not inclined to pin much faith on his nephew. Certain signs Ike's apparently preoccupied manner, when there was no e reuse or reason for, "preoccupation" to borrow Vw-arib J"alwC,MaaaJia. whistling, very low, to be sure, but yet it wsa a clear whistle caused his uncle to obtjerve more narrowly his nephew's movement. ' As Ike was whistling softly to himself in the back mom, Jeremiah Jenks sat htttiw bis finger nails. Then he rose softly, sad looked in at his Aopeful nephew! . Ike's hand was tracing certain 'whereases' and "be it covenanted" upon a clean sheet of legal-cap paper. The nephew did not dream his uncle was looking at him. He had just returned, made his report concerning the girl, Joe, at M'MStenr Dafaur's, and was congratulating himself upon his success. Jeremiah looked at the young man steadily, then returned to bis desk, and stood beside it thinking. Suddenly a smile a wicked smile lit np his face. As his face was not a prepossessing one at any time, the expres sion just now was devilish. Jaremiah Jenks put our. c hand quickly, opened a drawer, and the next moment his head was bent ovur a package of letters. Aa he placed bis hand on the package, he started and turned pale He put dawn the package, and bit his finger nails nervously. Then he turned tne package over in his hand remarking the tape around it closely then with trembling hands he untied it and was boon engaged handling, one by one, the letters the package contained. Then he rose. UU face was pale his eyes glittering with suppressed emotion. He walked up and down his office several times, shaking his hand at the back room angrily. Thee he reseated himself. Still Ike whistled to himself soWy very softly. "Ike!" Why did Ike jump? He did jump. There was something in his uncle's voice that sade him leap from his seat. The whistle was cut right off. Ike's month, still puckered, gradually opened wider as he listened and looked askance at the office door. "Yes, sir; coming." Then Ike's head was bent, and his hand was up to his head. - "He's found me out! Certain, surel Well, who cares? I'll make a tight for it e ad see who's ahead. " He entered the oSBee and stood waiting. His nncle eyed him stce.tiily, coldly. The nephew did not flinch. His uncle tapped his desk. "Somebody has been In my desk." Hed:d not answer. He look out a penknife and began to clean his fingernails, '- "Look at me." Ike looked at him. "Why don't you speak?" "You are speaking: "Was it yon?" I don't need to criminate myself; nobody but a fool would do that " Ike smiled serenely; his uncle bit his nails, and thought quickly. "No; nobody but s fool would. Ike, you have bean looking over my private papers.'' Ike smiled"Yon have opened a package of letters." Still Ike smiled in his uncle's fees. I e you have. Well, now, what did yon learn? All you have learned is not worth that" (Jeremiah snapped his fingers) "to you!" Then why are you making so mnch talk about it?" "Because yon have betrayed me sbnsed my confidence." "Humph You never betrayed any one. Yon never abused any one's confidence. Oh, no!" Ike's sneering smile more than his words made his uncle furious. He sprang to his feet and advanced. "Hold or. Nuncke, none o' that oust yon keep your hands off me. I won't have it." Jeremiah Jenks stood aghast. Yon yon villain! Yon Ingrate! Yon bound! You you " "Takotlme. You can't do ;uJ$i"e, it In a hjtat," said Dee, seating:hln self leisurely, sj "What in the devil's name do yon' mean?" Jeremiah shrieked, shaking his clenched lanis at his nephew. "WHhsrf, I dta retd tho laitora,
but 1 woultln't IT you hadn't excited my suspicions. You tempted me "How how did 1 tempt you?" "Why, you wero so awlul mysterious when Mrs Howson called, I oouldn't help noticing It Then you gave yourself dead away, Nuncke. "Gave myself away!" "Dead away, Nuncke, the way you showed her to hor carriage. If it was Queen Victoria you couldn't been more particular. Of course I noticed it Then when you had me tell you all about the girl, don't you think 1 wondered. Lord! How stupid yon are, Nuncke!" "Am I? We'll see." "That's what I'm coming to. Just what I'm getting at Of course, I put on my studying cap. I says to myself, hello! Something's up. Something uncommon. Nuncke ain't wasting no time on that old woman. An' this hero girlshe's worth money to him somoway or he wouldn't have me keep hor in sight so long and no move made only just finding out who sho lived with and how she was treated such things as that I says what's Nuncko's little game? And what happened then? Why, I found thorn letters. Just all by accident or maybe It was Providence put 'em right in my bands " "O o! groaned Joremt&h, "providence providence! I'll providence you, Ike." "I don't think you will. Not when you know it all. You'll not say a word, Nuncke. You'll just do like Crockett's coon eomo right down. " "Go on! tlo on, you scoundrel!" "Vos I am a scoundrel. Yes that's so. But I'm not half as big a scoundrel as yon arc, Nuncke. What made you keep Mrs. Howson Ignorant of the whereabouts of her granddaughter? Eh?" "How do you know I did?" "How? How? Why I heard you tell her I heard you putting her off with lies, until that morning she said sho would put It in another lawyer's hands and then then what did you say?" Jeremiah Jenks did not answer. He was dumb with rage "You said, 'Very well, Mrs. Howson. I will gladly retire, and shall tako pleasure 4n giving a :1 the aid in my power to whomever you select' Then you called me In, and asked me a lot of no-account questions, and when I went out I hold the door open I was bound to get at the truth that day. Why, you discovered all at onoa the girl was in the city was seen is. the city only the day before. Then sbe got mollified like let up on you gave you another trial and a hundred dollars! A hundred dollars!" "You lie. " "You lie, Nuncke." "How do you know what she gave me?" "I opened the door. Your backs wore turned, and I saw you turn up five twenty-dollar bills ah! am I lying? And she said, 'That makes five hundred doilars I've given you, Mr. Jenks.' " Jeremiah groaned. "O! you may groan. You ought to. Five hundred dollars for a job many another man would have been glad to do for five or ten. What trouble was there? Didn't I do all vhe work? Who found the girl? Wasn't It mo? And what wan ytm keeping her living place hid from the o'.d women for eh? What was you doing it foreh? Tell me that" Now Jeremiah Jenks smiled -craftily. He looked wickedly at his nephew anl said, very deliberately: "You would like to know. Find out You'd best do it soon. Because you're game's played, young man. You've tal ted too much. My turn is coming. Now" he rose, and threatened Iko with look and hand "go I go at once and never let me see you again go!" ' Ike laughed In his uncle's face. "Do I look frightened. Not much. See here, Nnncke I've got ready for this " "Wha t do you mean?" "Why I know all about It" . What do you know?" "I know you've been milking two cows." . , "Milking "Yes yes, yes. Now you sit down. Best get yourself a glass of water, because like as not you'll faint when I'm done.' frem!ah J enks could only glare at his neptiew.who very coolly tapped hi s head. "I t ain't a great head no? Never said it a as, did I? Did I, Nuncke? But it's levfl perfectly level. Now, I'll just opea out Why, the girl's worth two millions cash Two millions. She'll get that from Mrs. Howson, who ain't Mrs. Eowt-on, by r long shot Well, who's she, then? Why, she's Lilly Howson or not Howson that's the family name Lady Morford. And (hat's the name on this top of her letters, and it's the Morford crest You don't chink I'm so awful gre nIdon't know who to go to to find out all about the English aristocracy, even if there wasn't h book in the next block telling all I wanted to know. Thai old woman you're so attentive to is La,ly Morford." "You've sa d that twice" "Well, I'll say it again, because it does me good to say It Has a sort of rich, swelling sound. And the girl is ber granddaughter. " "I'm glad you've found out," $aid Jeremiah, with a sneering laiu'h. "You think ho you're almout sure of it. All you want to make dead sure is ." "Well, what?" Jeremiah Jenks forgot himself. He leaned forward anxiously. "Why, lihe name of thn jlri's mother whon sho went to the poorhouse In Baraesvllle. If the girl isn't found, ti.en the money and land goes to a nephew a rich nephew of Lady Morfc rd's, who don't speak to her. They've not spoken for years; and she hates him. bneause she's found out be was the fellow that introduced her ('aughter to the man who ran away with her. Good enough, ain't it,?

You've rummaged alt my U tters!" shouted Jenks. "Of course, Nuucke, of course. You'd have done the sane In my place. I read all you wrote to Mr. Israel Hebfr. " "Oh-h-h!" Jeremiah Jenks groaned in mental anguish. "If I could kill you I'd do it" "Yesj but you're afraid of hanging, Xuncko, and so you won't kill me I rad, all you wrote to "Mr. Qebnr.

I've learned that Israel Heber paid you five hundred dollars to keep your mouth shut when you hadn't anything to tell him. Ko thought you told the truth when you sitld you would inform Jce's relatives here she was where they could put their hands on and at that particular time, Nuncke, you dld.i't know, because 1 read an advertisement In the paper and answered it and went to the place you said to addressand you you come and got tae letters marked M.

"You'd best get It quickly then for I'll telegraph Hsbor tho truth, and I'll call upon Lady Morford Inside cf an hour less time." Joremlah Jenks put his hat on ut ho spoke. Ike coolly stood at the door, with his hat twirling in his hand, and his cane swinging. "I'm afraid just a leotle afraid you're too late, Nuncke. However byby, old man! Ta-ta I'll give you all a surprise, Nuncke ta-ta. " And Ike, after setting his hat on his head jauntily, disappeared.

' A rapidly growing evil, and one that reformers wonld do well to taokle, is the custom of young people marrying without a cent in the world to marry on.

Utopian schemes are plans, whether of national improvement or c f social operation, founded on impractical or visionary views. Sir Thomas Moore, in writing his curious philosophical work, "Utopia," added a new word to the English language, and delineated his idias of a perfect commonwealth. Utopia, from the Greek, moans "no place," On the imaginary island of Utopia, in the Atlantio Ozean, ha placet) a people governed on tho principle that no one shall have the right to separate pro perty. Here all are contented with the necessaries of life, all are era ployed in useful labor, and no man desires in clothing any other quality than durability. Since wants are few, and every individual engages in labor, there is no need for them to work more than six hours per day. Neither laziness nor avaricd finds a place in this happy region ; for why should the people be indolent when they have such little toil ; cr greedy when they know thero is an abundance for all? 'This is somewhat like the scheme proposed in Bellamy's " Looking Backward, and is as impracticable as it is ingenious. Thnnk the Children. They run on onr errands, up stairs for oar books and slippers, our thimbles, onr new magazines; downstairs to tell the servants this thing or that; over the way to carry our parcels; to the poatofhee with our letterii. They leave their work or i;heir play a dozen times in a morning, to do something to oblige us who are grown up bigger, and liable to be loss absorbingly occupied than they are. No game of polities or business in after life will ever be so im portant to the man as the ball and the top to the little lad ; and no fnture enjoyment of the little girl will ever be greater in degree and kind than her present in her dolls and play-house : ye t Johnnie and Jennie fly at our bidding, arresting themeelvea in mid-career of the play whioh is their present work, and alas I half the time we quits overlook our own obligation to be grateful. We do not say, "I thank yon." And because we do not say it, we make it difficult for them to bo ai polite, as simply courteous, as otherwise they would be by nature, and ih imitation, whioh is second nature to all children.

Hillloai In Sight, There's millions in it millionti of Bolid, solid gold and silver; not the ferment so tc speak of the thriftless visionary , but the tangible lucre that makes men opulent, that makes nations powerful, that moves all that is movable by human agecoies in theuniverse. There'n millions in it in the vault that underlies tho Rub-treasury buililing. The doors aro opened; the expectant visitor takes his hand from over his eyes; he peern in, enters, and Aladdin's oave is ohangod into the store room of a retail grist-mill. He sees noiMng but a solid muss of little canvas sucks, piled from flour to ceiling, homely as a grocery overt tocked with breads tuffs. This is the principal vault, and ea oh of these little Backs contains 1,000 t'ilver dollars, Thero is no gold here. The vault is thirty -six feet long, seventeen feet wide and eight and a half feet high, yet it holds tnly 13,000,000 of nilver dollars. The gold vaults are abo :.t as prosy, the money being sacked and piled in the s line manner, each sack containing $2D,000. It is asked, Where does all this money come from? Ihe answer is that the sub-treasury this mean, little, inadequate building is the receptacle for the entire revenue of the Government from the Paoiflo ooast west of the Rocky mountains; from British Columbia to Mexioo. The business of last year amo anted in round' numbers to $38,0011,000. Naturally it may be asked, why :is all this monoy hoarded instead of being out in circulation? Paradoxical as it may seem, a great deal of it is in circulation. T all intents and proposes it is passing from hand to hand every day, doing its part in the great game of financial shuttlecock and battledoor. It is represented by silver and gold certificates a form muoh moTe convenient for business purposes, while the coin itself is stored in the vaults, away from tie depreciating offa : ts of abrasion, mil from loss by other causes. A majority of the twenty-dollai gold pieces in eir solution have lost so much by abrasion that they fall beloiv the standard woiffht. There are in tho
! sub-treasury over 7,000 half-dollars that have become depreciated cimply by ordinary abrasion while in circulation. This depreciation Bom ''times amounts to as muoh as twenty-seven dollars on a thousand. Gold being a softer metal suffers more frotn the same treatment Hence, for thin reason, and abo because they save time and trouble in handling, and are more convenient to carry, gold certiorates are fast -growing in favor. Beside there is an advantage to the Government in issuing silver and gold certificates. San Francisco Call Going do'ivn the Mississippi O'le Bull met on the steamboat a party of halfsavage men, colonists from the fa;: West. While reading his newspaper lie was accusted by one of the men, w!io had been a cpskesmen by his companions, with the req uest that tho fiddler would take a drink with them, offerir g him a whisky :insk at the same tirne. "I thank you," said Ole Bull politely, "but I never driik whisky!" With . curse the fellow asked if he was a teetotaler. "No, but wiiiaky is like poison b me." "If . yon csa't drink, come aail fight then." The man's comrades had gathered ronnd him meantime, and li'bey all cried, "If you won't drink, youi must fight. Yoa look strong; show wi what you are good for." "A Norsennin san fight as well as anybody when his blood is up, bnt I can't fight when my blood is cold, aud why should I ?" "Y uu look like a strong fellow, and you shall. fight." Seeing no way to escape, Ole Bull quietly said, "Since you insist on testing my strength, and there is no reason for fighting, I will tell you what I will do. Let aay one of yon take hold of me in any way he likes, and I wager that in half a minute he shall lie on his back at my feet" A big fellnw was! chosen, who stepped forward and grasped the violinist around tho waist, but was inr tantly thrown over his head by a sudden wrench and lay senseless on the deck. Ole Bull now felt himself in a yery uncomfortable position, for he saw one of the man's comrades draw his bowie knife but was relieved when it was used only to open a fiitisk. A good dose of its contents poured c'.own i his throat soon revived the lbdiitinn man, and lis first question. "Mov the j devil was J throwed down noi'e r was - answered by a shout of laughter from . his companions, in whioh he himself j joined. He sprang to his feef. and afj ter vainly 'srying to pursuade Ole Bull ! to show bin how he had thrown him. he said: "Take this knife ho tae with you , you fight well ; you are t.s quick as lightning !"
