Saved from Crim^v

In tho worst room of a miserable tenement house In one of the poorest streets in the city of New York—a lo,cation from which decency was largely banished by poverty, filth and crime

man and woman sat upon the only apologies for chairs that the wretched place contained. Their clothing and surroundings wore in perfect keeping with the attributes of the building and 'the neighborhood. The man seemed I to be something past thirty years of age but the impress ot dissipation and recklessness may have made him look older than he really was. The woman •—or girl, for she could not have 'been more than seventeen—was beantiful oven in her rags. Her features were perfect in their regularity, her jhair black and abundant, her eyes bright and large, and her expression, for .one so young, remarkably proud and solf-relfant. At this instant, anger hot and intense, added a fiery, passionate coloring to her roughly garbed beautv.

You'd better be careful of your iwords, John Berger," she exclaimed, her eyes (lashing and her bosom heaving with the Intensity of her anger.

This isn't tho first time you've threatened mo because I won't give you my wagos for drink." "Softly, Nell," said tho man, in a '•half conciliatory tone "don't let's .•quarrel."

Yes. wo will quarrel," insisted the enraged girl "and I'm not to be talked «into good nature this timo. Because I ^haven't a rolative or friend in the world, you are all the while domineering over ine, and throwing it in my face that you took mo out ot the streets —a poor news girl—when you married me. I wasn't anything but a girl then —not flfteon, ancl didn't know what a rascal I was marrying—a loafer, a thiol—"

Tho sentence was not finished. Tho 'man, driven to fury by the taunts of tho girl, tolled her with a crushing blow from the chair. Tho blood flowed lioin a wound iu her head, as she lay as still, as white as death, with hor handsome face unturned. John Berger bent over hor anxiously a look of terror overspreading his hardened features. llud ho killed her? He was afraid so, and a dread of the conse quonces ooolod the anger which had a moment before fired hiui to the cowardly deed.

She brought it on herself," he mutterod, as he hastily tore open the bodice of hor ragged dress, and held lIs hand over her heart.

Ho felt only a faint sensation, and, rising quickly to his feet, lio oast one glance at the pallid face, and darted •-•out of the door, closing it carefully boit hind him. Down the dark stairway he groped, gazing furtively around as he emerged upon tho sidewalk. A few squalid children were playing about, but they did not notice the man with the soared, guilty look upon his face, as he slunk past them and went around the corner.

The fugitive made his way toward tho river, and passing along tho docks, at last skulked into a clingy office. Approachlng a desk, behind which sat a If clerk, lie inquired if the crew of the whaling ship Mcta was made up.

No/' replied the clerk. "Do you want to ship?" How long's she off for?" replied Berger. "Three years."

When does she sail?"

I To-night." Yes, I 11 sail in hor." ~\L The papers were quickly made out, **and that night, under an assumed name, John Berger sailed in tho Mela $&OD a three years cruise.

Tho victim of his brutality lay fbr an hour totally unconscious, ana then, weakened by loss of blood, was scarce•Mjly able to move. A sharp pain in her ankle, too, told her that her injuries were serious. In falling, one of her ^lega had been doubled beneath her, and Ja bone had been broken. Upon again trying to rise, the pain In the fractured -ankle was so intense that Nell cried ^fout, and sank back upon the floor.

Just a* ahe was again loosing her rVconsclouigness, the door opened, and •ome of the tenants, having heard the ysry, entered. They lifted the Injured

Irl upon the miserable bed, and somegirl ood went to an adjacent public hospital for a surgeon. One promptly answered to the call, and Nell was removed to the hospital.

Ten years later. At Saratoga the season waa well ad ranged, and the gaiety at ila highest. The hotel* were full, the balls were of almost nightly occurrence, and a race a week added to the attractions. At one of the leading ho* tela a just married man and wife had eatabltahed themselves but a few days before.

Jasper Meade, the husband, a wealthy southern merchant, had brought bte bride to the noted resort on their wed« dmg tour. The wile, a brilliant, beaattfial woman, iu the ?bU bloom of her

marvelous charms, had already sot the watering place belles in a flutter of jealous apprehensions.

As the lady sat In her room this sultry afternoon, listlessly turning the leaves of a book and fanning herself, her husband entered. The apathy

gave place to a smile of welcome, her arms went abound his neck, and a warm kiss told Of mutual love,

Why, Jasper," playfully chilled the wife, "you've beengono'more than an hour." "So I have, Qtistyassented the husband, "and that iennt the worst. I'm afraid I shall have to go away again immediately, to be gone until to-mor-row. I have quite unexpectedly, to go to Whitehall—that's a few miles north of here—on very urgent business.

Well, Jasper, if you must go, I supge there's no help for it but I shall terribly lonely."

I'm very sorry, roy darling,' and he tenderly stroked the fond head that lay upon llis shoulder "but you must trv and not be lonesome. You can take a phaeton ride to the lake this afternoon, when it gets a little cooler— vou.know tho road?"

Yes." Good-bye, then." Good-bye." Later in the day, when the beit had somewhat subsided, Mrs. Meade, started alone on herdrive to the lake.whiih is a favorite resort of people at Saratoga. She found the drive delightful and, returning, lor sake of variety, turned off a by-road which she knew led by a more circuitous way to the village. This road proved longer than she expected, and the shadows deepened into twilight before she was aware of the lateness of the hoar.

Just as Mrs. Meade had begun to get a little nervous, for the darkness rapidly increased in intensity, she saw a man approaching. He drew off to one side of the road to let the vehicle pass but, when opposite the pony's head he stopped and peered intently at the face of Mrs. Meade.

It was John Berger and in the beautiful woman who sat in the phaeton, he recognized his wifd Nell.

His hand flew to the pony's head like a flash. Terribly frightened, but thinking the fellow drunk and harmless, Nell—was—tried to control her unsteady voice.

Stand aside," she commanded. But the man did not drop the rein. Turning slightly, so that the rising moon threw its rays upon his face, he said:

Nell, don't you know me The same light that revealed his features,

a ghastly pallor creeping

over Nell's lace. My God! yes," she cried. I hoped you were dead.

Did you?" and the man's sneering tones showed that ten years had not changed his rough, brutal nature. "Now that's a nice greeting lor a husband after so long, isn't it

Nell made no reply. Utterly dumbfounded by the suddenness of the meeting,

Bhe

Honestly," she replied, and there was something of her wonted firmness in her tone. "You lie, Nell!" retorted the man insolently,' "you didn't. Is It honest for a woman to have two husbands at once? You married Jasper Meade for his money, I know all about It." "Now you are the liar, John Berger," said Nell, unsteadily. "I married bim because I loved him—because ho is good and noble—because he loved me." "Does he know that you are already married No 1 know well enough he didn't. But won't he be knocked over when he does, though?" "Will you tell him?" "Certain, suie, Nell, unless I'm paid mighty well for not doing it. You see, NeTl, I'm mighty hard up—been roamlug about for the ten years since I— well, since I left so sudden. Now I'm a hostler in the village—sleep in the Btable, and don't like It. Yesterda, saw you—knowed you, Nell, in a nit, for all your fine fixings. So I inquired about you, and now my for tune's made." "Your fortune is made?" repeated Noll. "Certain, Nell, You're going to pay me lor keeping my mouth shut. 1 don't claim you, nor pry into how you hooked your rich husband—so long

She knew she had erred In hiding her whole life frcm Jasper, but that error was now past repairing. "John Berger," she s«id at length, "you nearly Killed me once, and now you would do me a far worse Injury but fortunately I can command means to silence your miserable tongue. What is your price?" "Well, I ain't going to be hard on you, Nell. A thousand dollars will do at present, and then—" "And then," interrupted Nell, "you Will dog me for more when that la gone?" "Yes."

Had John Berger seen the anj

f[learn

capable of realizing a resolve to free herself of the barrier that had so suddenly arisen between her and bappinr ss. That one idea seemed to be burher resiRtlessly on. Descending, she re-entered the phaeton, and drove toward the point where she had left John Berger.

Upon being left alone, Berger sat Sown to await patiently her return. "She can't be back within two hours," he thought, "and I'm mighty aleepy."

With that his head dropped, and he was soon fast asleep. He had been drinking considerably during the day, and the effect of the liquor was to add to his sleepiness.

Unconscious of the lapse of time, he Slept on until tLe sound of vjheels aroused him. Staggering to his feet, ho saw a wagon approaching. It had grown darker, and half asleep and half drunk he did not see the occupant was a man. "She's come at last," he muttered, as he placed himself in front of the vobicleand grabbed the reins. "Stop!" he shouted, as the man attempted to drive on. "Tho money

A flash and an explosion finished the sentence, and John Berger fell, Bhot through the head.

Naturally supposing that robbery was intended, the man had drawn a pistol and fired.

The sound had scarcely died away before Nell drove upon the scene but she had been Baved from becoming a raur-' deress. Another bullet than hers had saved the happiness of her new life from jeopardy—had saved her from the committal of a crime, the thought of which even she, in cooler and happier after hours, shrank from with horror.

THE LITTLE PEOPLE.

What kind of bats asked the astonished teacher. Brick bats," yelled the boys.

A bright looking boy put his head in the door of a Danbury store, and asked, Do you want a boy?" "No," said the merchant. "Well," you needn't act so gruff about it," said the spirited youth, slamming the door to, and leaving the merchant petrified with contrition.

Little Willie F.—of Greenfield, was recently presented a toy trumpet to which he became greatly attached. One night when be was about to be put into his "little bed," and was ready to say his prayers, he handed the trumpet to his grandmother, saying, "Here grandma, you blow while I pray."

make more by keeping mum." By this time Nell had fully recovered her self-possession. She knew the man with whom she had to deal—knew that it was useless to appeal to bis sense of honor or pity. Her new life of happi ness, and her old life of misery—how she had spent the months of confinement in the hospital, under the kind direction of a pnyslclan, in study—how, upon emerging, she had obtained employment under a new name, first as a seamstress, and later, when had study had made her competent—how Jasper Meade bad loved her—all flashed through her mind in an instant. She resolved that her cup ot happiness, so hardly earned and keenly relished, should not be desbed from her lips.

With that he handed her the reins, and stood aside as she drove away toward the Tlllnge. She drove last, and upon reaching the hotel, told a servant to hold the pony until ahe returned.

"THREE KEERD MONKEY."

A Story of Canada Bill.

Canada Bill has had another exploit. The Omaha Dispatch of the 6th. says: A few months ago, 9s is well known by several gentlemen, Bill offered a certain railroad one thousand dollars a month for the privilege of "working trains" in the three card monte business. He offered to give bonds to a large amount that he wouldn't take a dollar from anybody but preachers. Of course, this was charged to Bill's prejudice against the clergy, but that he meant what he said was evidenced by his pulling out a thousand dollars in greenbacks, and insisting upon placing it in the hands of anyone the road might name. It is useless to say he was refused. It was not believed that he ever won a dollar of a preacher, but Bill has recently demonstrated his success in that line.

A day or two since he boarded a Union Paciflo train in Omaha. In a few minutes he started through the train to see what he might find, and, at last, sat down alongside a minister bound for California on a pleasure excursion. Bill had a farm near Pappillion, so he said, and had just been to Chicago and sold thirty-seven hundred dollars worth ofeattle. After getting on good terms the minister and Bill were interrupted by a stranger passing through the car and dropping several playing cards on the floor just in front of them. Bill picked them up and commenced toying with them. The minister deprecated their introduction into the world. Bill then went on telling him bow some fellows had "took him in on tbekeers" several days before on a game they called "three keerd monkey," and gave a half-way explanation of the "how of it."

Just then a beardless boy came in, and after listening some time to Bill's Btory, said, "Now look abere, old man I can guess fhem cards." Bill let him try several times, and, sure enough, the boy never missed once, and lost uo opportunity to intimate against Bill's brain's. Tho latter at last got mad, and offered to bet his watch against the boy's. The boy jumped at the chance aud lost his watch. Bill then went to another car to get rid of the boy, who was boo-booing at a terrible rate about that watch being given to bim by his dying father, and ne must have it back again or he never' could face his dear oRl mother again. The minister pacified him, and so far gained his confidence that he explained how be had made a mistake, and if he Just had some more money he would win the watch back. He explained it so perfectly to the minister, that the latter told him he had some gold and would risk it if the boy would do the betting. The young innocent agreed, and went into another car after Canada Bill, who came in, but didn't want to bet. He was a plain, honest fanner, and not a gambler. But the preacher showed him how unjust it was not to give the boy a chance for bis watch, and Bill consented. Soon two hundred and fifty dollars of the minister's gold was gone. Papio, shouted -the brakeman. and Bill threw down the "keerds," and told bis antagonists that he lived there and moat get off and "go bum." The boy became so desperate at this that he waa determined to get off there Woo and (OUow the old farmer home and get his watch back.

,,. MAXIMS OF CONFUCIUS.

Never sit down on a red-hot stove.-',

Never examine a mule from the background.

Do not steal. It is unwise, and yon may be arreBted for it. Do not run for office if you would not loso your character, as a gentle-, man.

Do not presume to be a man and a gentleman in the presence of a hotel clerk.

Do not aspire to journalistic fame. The poor house is your reward should you violate this rule.

Never hope for a seat in a railroad or street car when as many as six ladies are already occupying the car.

Do not get drunk. It is wicked, and besides you are liable to wake up with a new head on you in the morning. ,j

Too close intimacy with other men's wives brings ruin and disgrace upon you, unless you are a clergyman. Beware!""- "*t

Neyer boat your wife, save with a poker, stove leg or like trifling weapon. This rule will not apply to moth-ers-in-law. Man is justified in treating them with all possible cruelty.

DOG TAILS.

Tho following essay on dogs was written by a small New England boy. this summer: As this is the tale of a dog, it may be inferred that every dog has a tail, and that every tail has a dog. 1 have never seen a dog's tail run over two feet, but the tale of a dog can run any length, and two feet always run under the tail. As every dog has its tail and every tail its dog, so also has every tale its wag and every wag his tale. A dog can wag his tall one day out of two, but a wag can tell his tale eight days out of a week, making a total difference between the wag or a tail and the tale of a wag of two days, seven wags and a tail. Mr. Shakespeare (late of England) says that every dog has his day. but it can also be said that every day has its dog, so that we have day-dogs and dog-days—dog-days are twenty-four hours long without the tail, but day-dogs and watch-dogs run to any length if they are not chained. A watch-dog on land is the same as the dog-watch OG board ship, but they are entirely different from dogging a man's watch and watching a man's dog. I have often seen star-fish, but I never hoard of a star-dog, although astronomers do say there is a dog-star, and that by falling down over a dog you can see stars but this double vision does not affect the measurement of a dog he contains just eight feet, two fore and two bind. There are many ways in which this dog's tail could be drawn out, but a good healthy dog's tail should not be over six inches long.

THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD.—' Tho Khedive of Egypt is probably the richest man in the world.

SCIENTIFIC MEMORANDA.

From the above named very popular department in Scribner's Monthly we extract the following:

The soul is by an ancient writer figured as the dotted outline of a man. The voice of the soul is thought, by eavages and half civilized folk like Polynesians, to be a murmur or whistle, or a ghost of a voice, and this idea still exists in some parts ol England.

Professor J. C. Draper describes in the American Chemist a new process for the quantitave determination ofarsenio in cases ot poisoning by this substance. The peculiarity of this process consists in the precipitation of the metal by red hot platinum from the arsenide of hydrogen.

Speaking of the climate of the Argentine Republic Professor Gould says: A bowl ol water left uncovered in the morning is dry at night ink vanished from the inkstand as if by magic. The bodies of dead animals dry up instead of decomposing and neither exercise nor exposure to the sun's rays produces perspiration."

SAVED BY A USTLE. A merry party of ladies and gentlemen had a narrow escape from a terrible death among tho Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence recently, but as it turned out, they were saved by tho presence of mind and heroism of one of the ladies. The way of it was this: They were out in a yacht until a late hour in the evening, when the clouded sky rendered it almost impossible to distinguish objects on the water at a short di-tance. They were sailing about thoughtlessly, and enjoying themselves as such parties are in the habit of doing, when suddenly a dark ied "g1 lision seemed inevitable, unless the

object loomed up before them, which was evidently a large steamer. A col-

steamer could be signalled to change her course, as it was Impossible for the sailing craft to do so. The party were in a terrible dilemma, as except a few matches, there seemed to be no means at command to produce a light. The young ladies, except one, screamed with terror, and a ferful catastrophe seemed on the point of consummation. A slight rustling, however, was observed in the direction of the silent young lady. No one could see what she was doing, but she handed a roll of paper to one of the gentlemen. In a moment it was ablaze, the steamer's course was changed, and the party were saved. When they recovered from their fright there was naturally much speculation as to'where that important roll of paper came from, and it finally leaked out that the lair one had heroically sacrificed her bustle to secure the safety of her companions. The incident has given rise to a good deal of good-natured gossip, and abundantly proves that even a lady's bustle is not without its uses when occasion requires.

CARE OF THE EYES.

Multitudes of men and women have made their eyeft weak tor life by the too free use of the eyesight, reading snail print and doing fine sewing. In view of these things, it is well to observe the following rules in the use of the eyes:

Avoid all sudden changes between light and darkness. Never read by twilight on a very cloudy day.

Never sleep so that on waking the eyes shall open

011

the light of the win

dow. Do not use the eyesight by light so scant that it requires an effort to discriminate.

Never read or sew directly in front of the light of tho window or door. It is best to have light fall from above, obliquely over tho left shoulder.

Too much light creates a glare and pain and confuses the sight. The moment you aro sensible of an effort to distinguish, that moment stop and talk, walk, or ride.

As the sky is bluoand tho earth green. It would seem that the ceiling should be a blueish tinge, the carpet green, and the walls of some mellow tint.

The moment you are instinctively prompted to rub the eyes, that mouient cease using them.

If the eyelids are glued together on waking, do not forcibly open tbom, but apply the saliva with the finger, and then wash your eyes and lace with warm water.

They had been posessed by that weak restlessness which kills the power of growth, the ideal of home, tho faculty of repose.

A moro modern Bluebeard than the one we are accustomed to read of, has been discovered iu Grenadat Spain. Or rather his memory and misdeeds only are discovered, for he has been dead for some years.
