Pride and Pride.

BV A2*E G. A CUTIS'.

Do you know the Cbateauffay Woods —those vaat tracts of sombre hemlock stretching for leagues over the Adirondack hills and vales, and yet within so few hours' travel from New York, that •centre of ail that is furthest from silent or driuieval or innocent?

It was a bright September morning, and woods and skv and air, and the treacherous brook tumbling down the hill-side toward the saw-miliat the foot, were all at their freshestand most charm-

ing so was the figure of the young girl upon a flery little Cuban horse, controlled him easily with one

hand as she paused just in the edge of the woods on the brow of the hill, and contemplated the scene below with eager, sensuous delight

A handsome creature she was, this young Sybarite, mul harmonious with the scene in her intense vitality, freshness, and eager appreciation tali and lissome, but with promise of an imperial presence in later life, with a satinsmooth duskv skin, a rare rich crimson tinting the cheeks and burning on the lips, straight dark brows, heavy enough to make their frown significant, and reat eyes just as bright and just as rjrown as the brook when it Hashes out from rmong the hemlock roots iuto the sunshine a head modelled after the Greek, with masses of wavy hair drawn back from the low forehead, leaving the tiny ends exposed, and knotted at the nape of the neck in a great soft coil, on which the riding-hat, with its scarlet tanager's breast and wing, sat like a crown.

Half a mile down the steep white road Mary Murgatroyd checked her horse at the edge of the platform of a saw-mill. The whole Interior was visible through the groat doublo doors, making all ono end of the building several men woro at work, and overlooking them a powerful young follow, his loose reij blouse and blue trousers, upheld by :t broad leather bolt, showing to perfection such a IlKure as hemlock forests, mountains, and plenty of physical exercise alone can aovelop. Fie looked round at the sound of the pony's feet, and came slowly forward to greet his employers daughter for all those hill-Mind vales and forests, the trk and the mill, belonged to .Stephen Murgatroyd, who, partly from a 1'ivo of nature, oddly surviving thirty years in Wall stroet, partlv as knowing that the master's eye Is wholesomo for auv business had built a sort of sylvan lodge here in the Chateaugay, whither ho was fond of resorting for a few days at a time, and whither Mary in these later years had grown fonil of accompanying him. And Leon fedtir, who was" Canadian by name, Saxon by na ture and looks, in the master's absence had charge of every Mil tig, and managed bPfltir than the mastor could for himself. When nobody else occupied the sylvan lodge, JLoduo' made it his home, and if Mr. Murgatroyd came np alone, the two kept house together with mutual satisfaction, the younger man generally givtho oldor some new bit of intelligence out of the scientific or political works of the day, or commenting on the latest travels or newest whims of philosophy, with a careless ease, showing wide reading and prodigious memory. Hut when Mary came, generally bringing one or two companions of her own world with her, Leon Leduc retired to one of the log cabins built for the in Ill-hands, wood-choppers, log-drivers, and other employes at the vast estate, where he delighted and, with no protence or selfooiHciousnoss, instructed as largo an audience as could get near him. "Good-morning, Mr. Leduc. I am going to rest in the shade a little while, I lnivo ridden a long way," said Mary, giving the rein to Leon, who held it tirmly, so that tho rider's feet were within nti'lnnh of the platform, and did not ofTor any further help in dismounting, or even look to see how graeefull it was •""otupllshed.

You may let one of the men loosen Moro's girths, if you please, and taice out the bit. It freshens him up wonderfully."

Without reply the overseer performed tho suggested duty himself, Mary Murgatrovd crossing the platform and looking down at the brook flashing at the foot of tho steep bank. Moro comfortably established, Leduc hesitated glanced at the unconscious maiden, her shapely back turned square upon him, and reluctantly approached her. "Will vou go Into the office and sit down. Miss Murgatroyd?"

Nobody has such original Ideas as Mr. Ledue. you WV-....V. To fancy my desiring on this heavenly morning to shut myself up In that horrible,stuffy little office to amuse myself with contemplating the luky desk and mi-backed ledger and cash-book! No I intend getting down this hank and gathering those harebells at the bottom or are they gentians?" "Gentians, I believe. I shall be happy to gather them for you myself, tf you will allow mo. The hank Is very steep and sllpoery, and the pool just hero very leep."

The offer was courteous, the manner iust what befitted a young man in woollen shirt and trousers, hard hands and sunburned neck, speaking to hbs employer's daughter. Why then did the glri's smile grow so cruelly proud as she replied: no means, Mr. Leduc, I could riot think of taking yon from your duties. Tray don't let me interrupt you anv longer."

A swarthy Hush rose under the suabum of iho"overseer's face, and with a client ,!ow he turned away, walked as far as the first sharp-toothed saw gnawing its way into the heart of the grwtl hemlock stood there a minute, then turned and strode back. Mary w»s half-way down the bank, dinging to a shrub w'ith one hand, and with the other reaching toward the gentians. "Mr time Iwalongs to Mr. Murgatroyd, as vou

better keep to the work papa set you at. He never like# people disregarding his orders." "And er than Murgatryd man, his face turning livid ly pale, then flushing as if it had received a blow. A bitter little laugh replied, and springing to his feet, he moved away, hut had not gone a dozen paces before a scream, a rustle, a splash, told their story, and kicking off his shoes and flinging down his hat, Leduc sprang to the top of the bank, marked the spot where the white gleam of a sinking face shone up through tbe swirling waters of the pool and leaped in. Already the swift current was grappling with her already the heavy riding clothes were dragging her down like anchors, when his arms wound around her waist, and her swooning ears canght the strange words, "Oh, my darling, my life! you shall not die!"

After that nothing until the maiden recovered consciousness, lying upon tbe conch in the despised office, with two tawny, hard-handed, kindly women about her. "What is it?" stammered she, feebly t»nd one replied: "Why, miss, you fell in the pool, and Leduc, he see you, and got you out, and sent on one of the bands hot-foot to the shanty for us, and we've been better'n half an hour bringing you to. I tell you miss, 'twas a narrow 'scape." "Leduc saved me?" "Yes indeed. Lucky he was round, for tho current sucks awful strong in that pool, and if you hadn't been got out when you was, you'd 'a been over the dam, and the dear knows where by this time." "Where is he?" "He set off for your pa and a carriage as soon as you began to come to. Took your pony, he did, and I guess he'll be back'fore loug now. Hark! Seems as if I heard wheels and that's your pa's voice sure-lv."

Yes, it was Mr. Murgatroyd, whom Leduc had meta short distance from his house. But having seen the father enter the room where his daughter lay, Leduc turned away, and briefly saying to one of the men that he must go home and change his clothes, left the mill, not to return until its visitors had departed.

The principal architectural pretence of the sylvan Lodge was a great square veranda, the ends closed iu by vine covered trellises, and furnished with a sofatable, chairs and couches of rattan. Hore on the evening of her accident Mary lay, beautiful in her pallor and her languor, tho foimer enhanced by the scarlet of the Tndlan shawl draped about her. Her father had driven to the station, some eight miles distant, to meet a party of friends proposing to spend some days at the lodge, and she was quite alone when up the path strodo Leon Leduc's stalwart figure, an odd look of Indecision, almost of defiance, upon his face. In his hand he carried a little basket covered with paper, and seeing Miss Murgatroyd upon the veranda, come straight toward her. A bright wave of color, perhaps a reflection from the Indian shawl swept over the girl's daintv pallor, and half rising, she said, "Oh, Leon, I am so glad to see you and thank you!" "It was my duty, my hired service." "Leon! how can you be so unkind as to recall my insults! I am so sorry for thom."

His face softened at once, and smiling ho said: "Do not remember anything but that I am glad to have served you, and that tho bank is unsafe. At any rate their will ho no temptation for you thero now, for I dug up tho gentians." "Mr. Leduc! to destroy tho poor innocent flowers, as if it was their fault!" "No, indeed, I could not have done such tiling. I went down to gather thom for you, and thon it seemed too bad to break them off, and I thought you might like to have them growing near you. so I took up tho sod very carefully, and here they are." "flow lovely! how good of you!" And Mary, craning her neck forward, peeped into tho basket all crowded full of tho sweet blue eyas, with their long fringes of eyelashes, but did not take it into her hands, so that Leon, forced to remain close boslde her, sank upon a camp-stool, the basket on his knees, and stole one long, ardent look at that lovely head and face so temptingly bent toward him. "Tho darlings,' murmured the girl, putting out one long shapely hand and softly touching the flowers. "I do so hope they will live! Where shall I have them put?" "Close by tho channel that goes down from the well: they are used to plenty of water, you know," said Leon, who evidently nod arranged It all. "I will take a spado and set thom there now if you like, and you had better have them shaded for a day or two. Thbii in the winter I will throw homethlng over them, so that thev may not be destroyed, and next year thoy will welcome you to the woods." "How thoughtful you are, Leon!' murmured Mary, softly. Yes, put them out, but—wait a little first. Papa has gone to Downs to meet Mr. and Mrs. Pomroy vou will remember here as Miss Melton two years ago, and Mr. Melton her brothet. They are coming to stay two or three days or a week. Are you sorry?" "Sorry, Miss Murgatroyd? Why? "Because they will take all ray time, and I shall not come to the mill or ride to the logging camp alone."

Leon was silent. A strange sweet spell was creeping over his senses. He clinched his hand until the nails bit inthe palm, and the pain steadied him. "we workmen will miss your visits, Miss Murgatroyd,"said he, coldly. "But of course when your friends are with you we cannot expect to be noticed." sVhy do you talk like that, Leon?'' exclaiii" the girl, half -"irowfttlly, half h\ 1 gnantly, all wooli .. y. "Yon know very well no man in all the world gentle or simple has half the right tom attention than he who has saved my1 Leon. I have been very supercilious, haughty, disagreeable girl, and especially toward you but I am sorry now— indeed I am. Leon, I am not prti.l any more I never will be proud to v-u again."

The words cam- tn a whisper soft as a kiss, and the ider haads stole out again, the warm soft lingers trembled a little a* if longing to bo jr-^pod by other fingers but Leon luc*s strong brown bands only grasped the handle of the little basket until it crushed beneath his fingers,and his head sank upon his breast, 1 .s ej m^r it.• 4 toward those tnw..4 e„ shyly waiting for them.

Pomroy, on her way from Newport to Saratoga, and her rich fool of a husband and Harry Melton, handsome high-bred, wealthy and sworn admirer of Miss Murgatroyd.

They were to stay but a few days, and these days must be filled full of all sylvan pastimes and delights so horses had been provided for all, and the very first morning a gay cavalcade rode into the woods to visit tbe logging camp deep in the heart of the forest. "I haven't warned them that we were coming, and you will see the genuine camp Sfe, Mrs. Pomroy," said Mr. Murgatroyd to tbe pretty bride, who tinkled out her baby laugh, and clasped her hands, exclaiming: "Oh, how perfectly lovely! And we will eat some of their—what was that word, now?—oh, their slapjacks, and hominy, and pork, and things—won't we, Mary!" "You may if you like, Lulu its not such a novelty to me," replied her friend, a little briefly, for she was listening to a venr tender speech from Harry Melton, and wondering where Leon_ Leduc's work had taken him this morning.

As fate would have it, it had taken him to tbe logging camp, and at the last turn of the road they came upon him standing beside a heap of bark, and directed its recording after the fatal blow it had received from a falling tree. "Fine looking fellow thatP* remarked Mr. Melton, putting his glass to his eye, and staring at Leduc just as he would hs ?e stared at a statue in a picture-gal-lerv.

Y.'s the overseer," replied Mary quite audibly. "A very useful person pa,-a quite trusts him with his aflairs n»-r- in the woods." hard to find any body worth trusting .owadays dishouest employes quite th- rule, you know—an awful bore.' A: having stared sufficiently at the pi 'tmenon thus presented to him, Mr. in turned his glass upon the giant ..ocks, to grand too be supercilious, th looked good-naturedly down at the pi^aiy staring up at them, and rustled a lcome. Mrs. Pomroy, who would h»»* flirted with the old serpent just as su:«±ly as Eve did, had their been no other subject at band, was meantime makii eyes at Mr. Murgatroyd, and going into pretty rapture* and wonderments over every thingshe saw. Such big trees! such dark foliage! such sharp axes! such sinooth stumps! such fine-looking men! such picturesque red shirts! such a lovely blue sky, way up so high! And oh! what was that? "A crow's nest ma'am," replied one of the woodmen, for her caviller had stepped aside to speak to a knot of choppers consulting over the best direction to fell

"A crow's nest? Dear me! I wish I could have it! I will give anybody a dollar to bring it to me." And the childish beautv clapped her hands and glanced gleefully around at the rough admiring men"You are extravagant Lu," remarked Mary, her slow haughty tones contrasting with the chattering treble of the other. "Any of the men would go if papa bade them. Leduc, can't you get that nest for the lady?" "By having tho tree cut down, Miss Murgatroyd,"replied theoverseer, fixing his eyes upon hers for a moment, then slowly turning them away. "These men, you will remember, are hired for definite labor, not as general servants. I will have the tree felled at once if Mr. Murgatroyd so wishes. "It seems to me your model overseer is a little insolent," said Melton half aside and she replied: ',Children and servants always put on airs before company."

Then they rode on Mrs. Pomroy lingering to cast an irresistablo glance Into the eyes of tho handsome overseer, as she said, "Have It cut down, please, and I will keep the nest to remember a brave proud man by." "I don't think you will care to keep it when vou see it," replied Leon, smiling briefly. "It is very big and very dirty."

It was alter the loggers dinner, at which the guests assisted as proposed, aud just as they were mounting for their return homo, that two men appeared, bearing between them from tho forest the section of a hemlock tree, with a mass of sticks, and hay, leaves, and filth built in among the stumps of the severed branches. The overseer, handsome and smiling, led them forward, and said to Mrs. Pomrov as she stood with her brother and Miss Murgatroyd: "This is the crow's nest, madam. You see it is hardly a pretty plaything for a lady." "How curious," exclaimed thebwauty. And then she whispered to her friend: "Do give the man some money for me, dear. I am afraid to. Perhaps you are afraid, too, though? "I!" exclaimed tho proud girl, and taking out her port-mannale, she selected a bank-note, and stepping up to Leduc, tendering it, saying, "Mrs. Pomroy wishes to give you this to divide among you."

If Louisa Pomroy had feigned a terror she did not feel a moment before, she now felt a genuine terror. She did not speak as she saw the color drop out of the sun-burned face, and the eyes contract and blaze as they fastened, not upon her, but the woman close beside him. For a moment both stood silent and menacing, then raising his hand, Leduc lightly struck the fluttering paper with the back of his fingers in a gesture of superb contempt, and Baid: "Give it to Mr. Murgatroyd, if you please he sells his lumber but these men and I don't sell ourselves." "Splendid fellow," murmured Louisa Pomroy, and really felt what she expressed. Whatever Mary felt, she said nothing, nor did she cast one glance toward tbe tall figure striding toward the wood: but as Harry Melton put her upon her horse, he noticed with surprise that her rich lips were white and shrunken.

The last day of Mrs. Pom roy's visit had arrived, and to several of the party assembled around the early breakfast table at tbe lodge it was a day of anxiety and importance to Harry Melton, for he had resolved that before the new-risen sun should set be would break through Miss Murgatroyd'* subtle evasion's and defences, and force her to give an honest

Harry Melton, significantly, as he ranged his horse alongside of hers, which immediately began to curvet and plunge dangerously. "1 beg your pi Moro never will travel comfortably be-

beg your pardon, Mr. Melton, but

beside a strange horse. He is wretchedly broken so far as society'manners go, I must fall back a little." "If you didn't worry his mouth with the curb,he would go pleasantly enough," retorted Melton, too bitter at perceiving tho ruse to be quite polite, but reining his own horse back, and suflereug bis host to precede him.

The hunt was to be carried on cononically, that is, with horses and dogs, so far as the lay of the country permitted, and if the aeer would only obligingly keep to the numerous wood ro&cs and open glades, or to the stretches of forest clear of undergrowth, everything might rocecd in as orderly a fashion as in nn _Jotrlish park but unfortunately, besides tbe hemlocks, whose tall, straight bolls offer no obstacle to sight or progress, there are in Chateauguy wide tracts of second growth, scrub oak, birch, maple, and other deciduous trees, whose drooping branchos and thick-set suckers, concealing numerous decayed logs, cavities where roots have been torn up, and heaps of wood rubbish, make a horse but a vain thing for safety, and deer 8talking an imperative substitute for hunting. If the deer, pursued through tbe open country, has sense enough to take to these thickets, of course his chance of escape it vastly Increased, especially if he is lucky enough to cross one of the numerous little ponds abounding in this region, and so throw the hounds off the scent. Of the three fine bucks sighted and hunted by the Murgatroyd party, two were wily enough to seek this refuge, one being run down and killed in the open after a fine sharp burst of about four miles. "We must dismount and take up positions at various points in the bush," announced Murgatroyd breathlessly, as he cautered back from a little tour of inspection down a tangled wood road. "I have just seen Leduc he says those two fellows are in this swamp somewherei, and he has sent rouud the men and hounds to drive them out on this side. I'll post you all at different points, and it'll be hard if some fellow don't get a shot. Mary, you and Mrs. Pomruy stay

ust heie and don't dismount. Melton, come with me." The three men disappeared, and Mary fidgeted in her saddle a while, and said: "Lu, I'm not going to sit here doing nothing. I will ride down the wood road as* far as I can, and have somo chance of seeing the sport." So restless Moro was released, and shot down tho crooked path, his rider gayly bending to his glossy neck to escape the branches that lashed her bead and shoulders. Presently in a little glade the road ended, and slowly pacing round Its circle the maiden saw through the matted under-

rowth the gleam of running water, and the babble of a brook. The long ride had made her thirsty, and slipping from the saddle she hitched the reins around a birch boll, and unhooking the little silver cup from her girdle, parted the undergrowth, and made her way through it for some rod*, until on the bank of the little stream she stooped and dipped her cup, while a voice from behind a neighboring tree gayly said, "Give me a drink too, fair Rebecca!" "Mr. Melton! How came you here!" exclaimed the girl, severe as Diana catching sight of Acteon. Acteon laughed. "I think it is I who should ask. I was stationed here to wait for monsieur le cerf, who is likely to seek the water, and to come down that little path.

cry of rage and pain, the creature, pla ing his forfeet upon the breast of his emy, was just in theact of repeating the thru ft, when, with aloud halloo, another man burst from the thicket and dashed across the interval quick as thought the stag turned and darted upon the new opponent, who, unarmed as it seemed, met the 'blow, threw ills arms around the neck of the stag, and fell with him to the earth, one mad struggling heap of arms, lears. heads, glaring eyeballs and

few moments he lay still Melton staggered to his feet Leon Leduc lay still, bis eyea dim. his Hps white, blood oosing from his breast. Mary, rousing from her stunned horror, ran toward him, and dropping on her knees, cried: "You are hurt, you are killed, Leon!"

The white lipa slowly smiled, more slowly whispered, "Yes, but tho man you love la safe." "The man I love! I love no man but you— yewt/ And if you are Uto proud to love me back, I will go unmarried to my grave. Do yon hear that, both of you? "Do you say It knowing what you say? Do vou mean it, my queen, my darling?" "Yours, only your*, my master!" "Then I will live!'

Thev live there at Chateaugay to-dsy, for the lodge has expanded to a substantial dwelling, and Leduc Is a county man. Sometimes the county insists upon his going to Albany as its representative once the State sent him to Washington. and often Mr. Murgatroyd will have them and tb« chidren down in New York for some inter months but they both like tbe Chateaugay 1est, and live their on their great domain just the natural, ltby, honest life that only great sonis know how to liv«, cutting their notch deep into their generation, and leaving the world a better world than they found ft.

THE CRADLE ROCKED. H. S. Keller In Detroit Free Press. After the mother died granny took the baby and rocked it to sleep.

How quiet, how white she looked, the dead mother there in her pretty wedding dress. It was her wish, the wedding dress In place of a shruud. "Shrouds look so stiff and—dead-like. When George comes to kiss my face for the last time, I want to have him see me in my wedding dress. He is young he will marry again and I hope he will—but— but I hope he will marry someone who will be good to my baby and rock him to sleep. She is used to it. If—if George should marry someone who wouldn't rock baby to sleep, I shall come back and rock the crib myself." And the fading flower drooped lower and then the frail stem broke and the baby had no mother.

George did marry again—but oh? a different woman from his first wife lying out there iu the little churchyard under tho

His second wife detested children. The cry of a baby was like saw teeth to her ears and she said she never wanted any. But someone had to take care of the little baby whose mother rested under the daises. Granny was getting old and she couldn't care for it, no matter how much her heart went out toward her dfad child'8 child.

And so the baby was brought to the city where George lived with his handsome voung wife in fashionable quarters.

Jove!" He seized his rifle and laid it to his shoulder. Mary sprang to the top of the bank and looked where he aimed. There just bursting from the thicket, and astonished at the human figures so suddenly presented, paused the stag in act to leap, motionless for one moment as a statue, head up, nostrils distended, eyes starting, the image of arrested motion, of passing thought, just one instant, but it was the instant too much, for in that moment the sharp crack of a rifle rang out, and the splendid creature, springing high in air, stumbled forward and fell, his proud head in the dust. "By Jove, I've done for him!" exclaimed Melton, forgetting the presence of Mary in the lust of killing—perhaps the strongest passion in a strong man's nature. Flinging down his rifle and snatching the hunting knife from his belt, he sprang forward, his eyes glittering, his breath panting. The girl slowly followed, drawn bv a horrible fascination, although already she would have given her own blood to save the life of tnat murdered creature, dying not yet dead, foi as Melton bent over him, knife in hand, the stag sprang to his feet, desperate in that reckless rage which make these timid creatures so terrible when brought to bay the man leaped back, but it only crave room for the fierce thrust of the .—1—1—its aim, slid

hate tne brat. It's a nuisance and I shall not bother myself taking care of it."

And George was so fascinated with his pretty wife, that be, too, looked upon the poor babv as a nuisance. 'There, la\f there! I shall not rock you to sleep." said the wife as she laid the liitle creature In a crib and went to the sitting room where George sat readiug a paper.

And the baby cried and oried. It was used to rocking. It's mother had rocked it. Granny had rocked it. It was all alone and it cried to be rocked asleep. "The baby is crying, desr—" "Let it cry. I can't and won'* rock it to sleep. It's a bad habit and should be broken." 'I suppose so. I don't believe

The breeze moaned along tho roof. The low, sad noises of the night came and died, and George read his paper, and his wife sat there with her novel—aud the poor baby in tbe next x*oomcried and cried.

Then the crying ceased. George looked up from his paper. Then the baby prattled. George's wife looked at him. The sound of a rocking cradle. Then George arose atul grasped his wife's hand.
