When ahe tucked it away, ahe again almost kissed the beautiful atones they ware so like icicles and ransom, and eretything 'pretty and fairy-like she had ever dreamed of. . She was eleven years old, and had been quite a reader. Hbe knew that diamonds were very valuable, and had even rand in her "Child's Philosophy of Little Thingi" of what they were composed, and how difficult it was to obtain them. "I ha ft fortune of my own now," she aaid to herself, at the abut down the cover of her cheat and turned the key. "f am a rich lady; and if I ever want to tell my beautiful ring I can buy ever no many beaniiful things with tt books, and pretty dresses, and even a necUaoe like Cora Maw's! Hum! I goeas It the girls knew want I have got way would not not en ao many airs over their ttttle aptd-beart rings and ooral ehnine. I ahould just Qke to show any lovely diamond once!" Tbm the began to sing, but the very tret line of the nxg she ttopned. She tanned a little psJeTind ttoodTooktag out of the hallwindow with a strange sort of stare. Before her spread the aununer scene. The old wind-mill swung its great tails about lastly. Bobuu and tparrows chirped and twittered busily. The old-faah-iened garden, with its troop of herbs and flower, its shrub and buahea, half clipped, half straggling, sent up a subtle fragrance, and ever and anon the little brook could be heard rippling over the stones by the bridge, where ahe had so many times waded and " had fun " with her little friend. But Peggy did not notice anything of this. She wan thinking: " t don't feel like singing; but I can't, I uvnt, give up my splendid ring. If I tell of It, Grandma will tell all the neighbors, and the owner will he found and claim ft It is not the owner's any more. They should not have lost it. I fonnd it, and now it is mine. I don't care if 1 can't sing. I can look at my ring whenever I please." Upon this. she began to cry as though Iter heart would break, just to prove bow happy ahe wm in ootng wrong. Bat in a few minutes she bros&ed away her tears, for ahe waa a resolute Httle girl, and went down stain. "Why, Peggy, yon must be tick, dear. Yon Mugs been "oiying, I am sure," said her loving grajribmother, inunediately. ''Or, are yon unhappy? Come to me, child, and teli me all about H. Do! I know I can help my little girl." "Grandma," said Peggy, pettishly, "I have only a headScne. I have nothing to tell. ("That was not true," shn added to herself, with the justice and severity of a judge.) Peggy was no favnorant wrongdoer. She knew as well as you and I do, dear reader, that ahe waa going away from all the pure and good things which ahe had ever been taught. Just then a neighbor came in. Her name was Mrs. Smart. She always knew all the news of the neighborhood just at toon as It happened -sometimes before! ".They've had a great time np to the boardin bouse," said the. Now, grandma did not like to listen to the stories which Mrs. Smart waa to apt to telL She knew that very often they tamed out to be false, and in any case they were rossip. Every schoolrand achool-bor knows what gossip When you grow up I hope yon will not get to be like Mrs, Smart. If you do, you will pry and peek aad ask questions, and hint around until you find some little thing that you can twist into a story against tomebody (never for anybody, be tore of that!) and then you win go from house to house to tell the evil thing you have imagined, thus doing injury to innocent people, and meddling with matters wnich do not concern you, "Yes," said Mrs. Smart, nhey've had n great time np there, One of the fine ladies has lost her dlsntond ring It was stolen from her by a chambermaid. Poor gyart! I do pity her, if ahe is a thief! There abe sits aHnyin? The lady knows it was that gyuri, for abe was the last person in the room, and the lady is sure that she left her ring on the bureau, and when she came up to breakfast it was gone, and the gyuri herself aaid nobody hn had been in the room! They've tearched her trunks and can't fwd nwthin', but they made such n fuss that Mr. Laird has discharged the poor Using, and shes again'." "What lady was HP" questioned Grandma, for ahe was qnHe interetted. " Twat that Miss Dnlctmer that was down hers a-tryin to buy your chiney t'other day. She feels very badly, too!

She was s-tittin' in the crvin' as 'f her heart would break, .and a t "n1 how the never dona no such uing; but you never can toil! Thorn gyurlt are so decehrin'. I presume she's got the ring aomewhere about her clot bet now. At any rate, ahe won't get another place very soon. I kinder pity her, and yet it serves nor right." " It she going away?" asked Grand- " Yea; in the stage why, I bear It now good-bye. I'm agoin' to tee how the takes it when she goes!" Peggy sprang np-stairt like a deer. She went straight to her chest. Through the window earns the rumble of the stage, nearer and nearer. In a minute or two it would reach the boarding-house, and go on. Peggy looked for the key. It was not under we mat, at usual. Where could it be? Peggy tried to think, but her head wemedia a whirl. What eonld I hare done with the key?" she tobbed. Putting bar hand up to her neck, ahe happened to feel a little ribbon. "Oh. yes,11 ahe sighed in relief. She had tied the key to a ribbon, and placed it abont her neck; for now that tbe had a diamond ring in her chest, she would haw to be more careful, ahe had said to herself. But the ribbon was tied in a hard knot, and was too strong to break. The ominous rumble had stopped; the stage bad reached the boarding-bouse. "What start I do?" groaned Peggy, her heart beating with fright and anxiety. Oh! I must get into my cheat." Then she taw a penknife on the table. In an instant the had cut the ribbon and unlocked the cheat, caught up the ring, and run down-etaire. Her grandma called: Wbere are you gotor?" hot she dashed like a whiriwinclthrough the kitchen, cleared the two steps at a bound, and went up the road like a flash. How she ran: Her heart like a trip-hammer, but her wide open to catch the sound of tbe stage. Round the corner, by tbe end of the orchard, abe still kept on; but just as she came in front of the trim croouetground, abe saw the stage atart off from the door. After it the sped with all her might. The summer boarders were all collected in front of tbe house. Mrs. Smart was bv the road, watching the hast tears of the unfortunate maid: some fashionable city children, whom Peggy had alwayt feared, and almost disnkiii, because they were to 'airy," as the called it, were right in her path; but she went after the stage as if her life depended on it. "Whoa!" the cried. "Slop! Whoaf Driver! Driver! Stop!'1 ("Oh, dear!" under her breath "I can never make him bear. 1 can; I will!") "8topr the screamed, thit time with nil her little might, and, at she had almost reached the stage, the driver heard, and brought his hones to a standstill. ' Which ia the girl?" said Peggy, breathlessly, adding, as ahe caught sight of the poor maid: "Here's the ring! You must get out and go back! You must! I found it. Ill tell them. Come!" The girl gave a cry of joy . and immediately got out of the stage. " Yes?' said ahe to the astonished driver, "you must put my trunk down, for I shall not go. They will all see I did not steal the ring now!" and, as he complied with her order, she clasped Peggy to her heart, and aaid: "Ton dttar little girl! How good of you to run so! How glad I am you found it! I can never thank you enough." Peggy was panting and h alf -sobbing, but ahe went with the happy maid to the house, aad handed the ring to the delighted Mite Dulcimer. "Where did von find it, yon splendid child?" said that gushing perwho had not been kind and just enough to make sure before the had bad the unogending maid discharged. " I want to make you a little present, to show my gratitude. Here are ten dollars, ana I can not say how very thankful I am to you for being to honest and good.11 "I waa not houwdt at all,11 said Peggy, whose naming cheeks and excited eyes made her look very pretty, indeed. " I thank you very hutch, but I don't want any present I don't deserve it Yes, I will take it, though.11 tbe added; and, having taken tbe mil in her hand, said to the maid, who was standing by, a ailent witness of the scene: "You deserve it much more than 1: keep it," and with a half laugh, half sob, she put the bill Into the maid's band, and fled out of the room and down the lane without another word. It waa not very polite, but the really couldn't stay there another minute. She wanted to get to bet dear grandma, ami be comforted ami forgiven. She ran down home almost a fast ax she had come up the hill; but thit time the waa not anxious or unhappy. She noticed the sweet smell of a bed of mignonettes in the door-yard, and heard one of her doves "co-roo, co-roo" on the roof as abe went in. Grandma met her, looking worried and troubled. "Peggy," aaid ahe, rather severely, how strangely you aet this morning. What it tbe matter with your' Then Peggy put her arms around her grandma's neck, and told her everything abont it how she had found the ring and was bound to keep it, and felt so wicked, and then waa so frightened for fear she should not be able to save the poor, wvouged girt; and how the tmsmmV nhS aaakaa-smjl ffadft UWW snPsw amnnnnnuns; HWtl and all abont it from besundngto end

And when, next morning. Peggy went out Into the orchard to pick up apples, she sang as outoeiy as ever, aad and not 1 swststn JJnJw 4 sJswna thought in her nuntL-St StekoUu. High collates are again in vogue, though the low eofl on the nape of tbe neck is by no meant abandoned. For those who wear the high Klissbethan runs, and others to whom it hi becoming, the hair to now arranged in two small ooila Ugh on the crown thatseean to emerge from the French twist below. Thefros ttdddie hair is drawn hack from the forehead to these coils, while, on tbe temples are irregularly curved locks of abort hair. One or two shell pins shaped like bugs hair-pins may be thrust through the high coils for general wear; on dress occasions an aigrette or two short ostrich tips may, be worn high on the left side, or there may be pins set with jewels or with Rhine atones. Young ladies who have the low broad Greek forehead adopt tbe severe style of drawing the hair straight back, and brushing smoothly to the coil behind, showing tbe contour of the head, and ondttwg all shading of locks above tbe brow. If the face it a long oral, tbe Ugh forehead needs to be partly covered, and the hair it drawn back more loosely, and allowed to droop alightly in front. The bang ia worn shorter than it formerly was, and may be very thick and straight, or else alightly waived. Very full and fluffy bangs are also worn in an exaggerated fashion that ia nnbeootnming aad most untidy-looking. Tbe invisible net that formerly fattened the bair above the forehead is now little used, bandoline Is abandoned, the curb are loose and unconfined, and the hair hat its natural gloss heightened by much brushing instead of by use of pomades. Very Utile false hair hi worn. Short twitches are arranged in coils, or perhaps in a bow, but are seldom braided or formed in puffs. Occasionally short curb) are added just back of the ears, or low on the nape of the neck. Older ladies part tbe front hair in the middle, and draw it back In long loose waves instead of in close crimps; their back hair hi arranged In a coil, which hi rather small, and may be either high or low. The Pompadour front is fashionable for gray hair, but must not be rolled very high; this it especially becoming when the hair ia light gray, and the forehead it low and broadT Harper $ Bazmr. muk John HL Kelly, of Brighton, gives the following story of a recent adventure: " I have a farm of open and wood land in the township of Dittoo, Canada, and K there occasionally to look after my testa. During the early part of last week I was there and went out alone on snow-shoes prosaeetmjr, with the intention of buying some lumber. I heard something ruatling through the bushes and taw a man with a dog following a large deer. Seeing that the three were pretty well used up I joined in the chase, until both man, dog and myself got tired and gave up In disgust My newS -fonned acquaintance was a Frenchmadian. a wood-chopper, and, like myaelf, bad nothing but an ax. "The snow was deep, so we hunted around for a retting place and soon discovered a log some twenty feet long and about four feet through. At about tbe middle of the log we observed a dry spot, and on going there saw there was a large knot hole. We tat down, but had been mere but a few minutes when we beard a snoring, which alarmed us. We then went to the large end of the log and aaw bear-tracks, and I coneluded that there was a bear inside. Stud 1: My friend, jnst go to tbe knot hole and pound with your ax, and I will wait here till he comes out, when I will lug him in the head.1 This the Canadian did, and tbe bear came out. I made a clip at him with tbe ax, and missed him. He got on his feet and sprang nt me, knocking me down see the marks of his claws on my legs and feet My Canadian friend at tins moment came to my rescue and split tbe brute's skull in two. We then lit tome wood and smoked out these two cubs (pointing to a couple of infantile cubs). I kept them and gave my friend the mother, whose skin was of more value to him than the cubs.11 These young ones Mr. Kelly tombing. or trying to raise, at a mother would a chihC the nursery-bottle bains; used lor eingw their tbe last twtrty-4oT houre?" naked one tltlatn of asctber, at they atet kt front of the City Hall yesterday.
