Won by Stratagem.

{Concluded from last week.] IIL

How quickly time passes when we are fcappy so quickly that we forget to enJoy the present moment so much as afterwards we think we ought to have done. We plan pleasures for the future, we look back with a regretful sigh at the

rthe

t,

but we never take sufficient pleasure piesent We exclaim, "I waa quite happy then," but do we ever say, "I am quite happy now?"

MIBH Rogers and Alice had passed a fortnight at Lucerne, the weather had been perfect, they had had a devoted young man nearly always in attendance, •o surely they could say with truth that tLey were having an exceptionally good time. Two out of the trio certainly thought no whether they said it or not, and these two were walking together one hot afternoon towards the cathedral. "To think that I have only known you a fortnight Mr. Vanbrutoa was^skying. "I feel as if we had been friends for months, and yet the days fly by." "Then you liave not been bored?" observed his companion. "Yet wo have spent a very idle life. I should have fancied that a young man like you would have begun to find time dragging somewhat." "How could I?" he answered earnestly. "Yesterday you allowed me to row you on the lake, the day before we went for a drive, the day before that wo lunched at Weggis', you and I alone the day before we" "Stop! stop!" cried Anna, laughing. "I begin to feel quite ashamed of having inflicted my company upon you so much. It waa too bad of Alice going off on ex6ursions with her friends and leaving us behind." "I feel very grateful towards her," he said quietly. "I shall always think of Lucerne as onb of. the most delightful spots on earth. Have you enjoyed this fortnight, Miss Rogers, I wonder?"

She turned her face away so as to hide the ricli color which hod stolen to her pale cheeks. "Lucerne will always live in my memory as the one' pleasant experience in my life," she answered softly. "You talk very bitterly, sometimes," he said. "I often wonder if you really mean it." "Iam afraid I do," Anna sadly replied. "Would you care to hear my history, Mr. Vanbruton? It is not a particularly interesting or cheerful ono, and I am a very commonplace heroine but still it will show you that I have a little excuse to grumble." "Indeed, I should like to hear it," ho assented eagerly. "Let us rest hero on this bench."

They wit down, and Anna proceeded with her story, gazing dreamily at the lake as she told it, aud never suffering her eyes to meet his. "Wo were never very well off," she began. "But I remember a timo when we lived happily enough in a small suburban villa at Norwood. My mother died when I was quite young she had been a great singer, aud her death made a good deal of difference to us, as it was her earnings which had enabled us to live fairly comfortably. My father wroto for the papers aud some periodicals, and I know now must have been a weak sort of man, but how I loved him! I was his constant companion, and would sit up with him night after night, quietly reading while ho wroto ho used to say that it inspired him to have mo in tho room with liim, so there I used to sit, when other girls of my age were in lied and asleep hours before. When I was 10 I received my first blow. My father married again. His second wife was a widow with a small projierty, but oh! a fearful temper, I think ho nmrriod her, hoping she would retrieve our fallen fortunes, instead of which she dragged ps down deeoper and more hopelessly into tho miro than wo had ever been before, Poor old Dad, he saw his mistake too late, and I think he fret-tod for our old happy days. Before long his health began to fail, and a cold settling on his lungs killed him, and I was left desolate—so very desolate! Mv only brother was ranching in America, blit I had a bare pittance to live upon, and I at once left my step-mother nnd^ought for a situation. I was lucky, as I thought, and became companion to an invalid lady, whose husband was in India. We began to bo sincerely attached to one another, and for a year I was very lmppy. Then, ouo black day, tho husband returned. Ho was a brute, and treated her badly, but she loved him devotedly, and never owned he could do •wrong. How can I tell you what next happonetl? He turned his odious attentions towards tho humble companion, and tried to make love to her almost bofore his sick wife's eyes. How I hated him! and one fine morning I told him so. He was moan and revengeful, and made out to his wife many wicked lies about me. She believtxl him, and would not listen to anything I had to say, so I was dismissed with ignominy. What was I to do then? Fortunately Dick, my brother, in the mean time, had returned from America. I went to him. and lie gave me shelter until I had found another engagement. This timo 1 was with a lady I had known in tho days of my comparative prosperity she was kind, but 1 had many hardships to put up with. 1 remained with her until I was foursand-twenty, when I became engaged to be married to a man who was a frequent visitor at tho house. He was v\vH off, young, and not bad looking, and I thought the time that I loved him very much. A month before our wedding day. 1 threw up my "situation" and went home (to my brother's) to make {jrepanukms and get ready my small trousswau. Everything was arranged, evett to the minutest detail of our wedding tour when, just a week before the auspicious event was to take plr.ee, my adorer disappeared, leaving me a polite little note saving that he feared he should never make me happy, and that he «a» on hie Fly to Australia, «od, I heard afterwai#* la the company of another lady. Aft# thia cheerful experience, I abjured matrfoaoay, and fcj* a

genuine hatred towards the male species. Well, I struggled on, sometimes with good luck, more often with bad, and here I am, having reached the mature age of nine-and-twenty, with nothing very brilliant to look back upon and nothing very joyous to look forward to. There, I have finished my tale of woe. Have you been edified?*

As {foe finished speaking, Anna rose from the bench, and they began to walk quickly towards the cathedral. "Thank you very much for telling me," said her companion, and added eagerly, his fair face flushing and his voice trembling, "You say I may be your friend, but I seem to be so powerless to help you in any way." "Have you not learnt by this time," said she sadly, "that a woman is not allowed to have any friends belonging to the opposite sex? I mean no real friends who amid ever be of any service to her. The world does not recognize any such thing aa a purely platonlo friendship. If ouocf us happen* to 4ako an interest, however slight, In a man, or is remarked upon iteming to enjoy his society, or he our*, tho world instantly exclaims, with Its usual disregard of the 'charity that (hiukoth no evil,' 'How shockingly Mm. A. or Miss B. is carrying on with that Mr* D.T This same idiotic world cannot imagine that a man and woman, having instincts in common, and a fine sympathy one with the other, may be most sincere friends without a spark of sentiment.. Oh, no! If they find pleasure in one another's society they must be either one or the other, or both, madly in love. It is a mercy to think that in the next world we are promised that there shall be no marriage or giving in marriage, so perhaps we may be allowed to enjoy sensible friendships. Have I shocked you, Mr. Vanbruton? Perhaps my ideas are npt strictly orthodox, but blame my bringing up for that." "I think I agree with you in some respects," he answered thoughtfully. "But I think that there is a certain amount of danger in these friendships. One is apt to imagine or try to imagine it still only mere friendship when that little spark of sentiment has kindled a feeling that is akin to, if not precisely, love itself: we may liide it up and disguise it under its 'friendly' cloak to ourselves, but a chance word or sudden emotion will strip it bare and reveal to us, unfortunately too late, what it really is." "No, no, that is quite contrary to my doctrine," said Anna half laughingly. "My two examples of this friendship have no inflammable sentiment She would sympathize with him most heartily in his love affairs or any other affairs ho would listen with equal interest to her confidences, and so one would have quite trust in the other until the kind remarks of this amiable world spoil what would otherwise have been a firm friendship until the end of the chapter."

By this timo they had reached the top of the steps, and were standing at the cathedral door. "I don't think I could be tliat sort of friend to you," ho said softly and shyly. "Why? Do you think Alice will object?" Anna asked scornfully. "When you are married" "Anna, Anna, listen," he interrupted passionately "I must tell you. I have been longing to tell you. I do not care what Alice will say. I"

He stopped abruptly. It was no good protesting to the air, and liis companion had suddenly drawn aside the curtain at the entranco and luul entered the church so ho slowly retraced his steps and went back towards the hotel. Meanwhile Anna was kneeling before an altar lit by a few little candles, which gave a glimmering, uncertain light, and only intensified tho darkness around. There was a tremendous struggle going on within her breast. A loathing for herself had sprung up with a certain now born love, and mixed with a trembling joy that she loved and was loved in return was a feeling of contempt for her meanness in plotting, and succeeding so well, in taking away another woman's lover. "How mean I have been how mean I am!" sho thought. "But I canuot give him up. Alico does not feel for him as I do, and he loves me, not her. Yet what was it Dick said?

4Bo

straightfor­

ward for once,' and this is how I have obeyed him. What am I to do?" And thus her good and bad angels strovo together, each fighting desperately for this poor woman's soul. With which will God allow the victory to rest?

Alico Patterson, having just returned from an excursion with some friends, was seated comfortably in her sitting room, reading a Tauchnitas, and seemingly taking life easily. Sho glanced at the clock now and then, for she was awaiting the chief event of the day—the English mail.

Her patience .was not tried long—a waiter presently appeared with three letters, and bearing an apology from the manager, that one of the letters for mademoiselle had been laid aside instead of being delivered the day before. Alice opened this one first, and as she perused its contents she puckered up her smooth forehead into rather an ugly frown. "How very annoying'" she murmured, and read it through carefully again then hearing footsteps advancing towards the door, she hastily put it in her pocket, and resumed her reading.

Miss Rogers entered the room she looked excited, and was trembling visibly. She walked up to Alice's chair and confronted her. "Mis* Patterson."' she began. "I am sorry it* it is any imronveniencft to you. but I must go home immediately. I cannot explain, but circumstances forbid we to stay any longer aboard." "Go homeP repeated Alice with nnnfikvted astonishment. "And may I ask if I am to remain alono here, or go off at once to sxitt your convenience? Is anybody iirr "No one is ill do no* a&fc me any more bitt! must go." repeated Anna, picking up a Bradshaw and rapidly taming over the leaves. "Suppose I say you cannot go," remarked the other coldly You have entered into as agreement with my mother to be a certain time abroad with

me as chaperon," with a faint sneer on the last word. "For no reason whatever, at least for no reason that you can explain, you wish suddenly to return." "You have plenty of friends here,** urged Miss Rogers. -"Lady Mackenzie was only pairing- you the other day to go with her to Geneva cannot you accept her invitation?" llf "No, I cannot," returned Alice with anger. "I have my reasons for wishing to remain at Lucerne." "Very well since it is your command, Miss Patterson, of course I must stay, but do not forget I wished to go."

Alice laid down her book, and quietly studied Miss Rogers' agitated countenance. 7 "I see what it is, Anna,** she said carelessly "you are afraid of transferring the affections of my fiance from their rightful owner to your own self 1 Pray, don't have any scruples I give you full leave to try."

Anna's eyes flashed, and her face grew crimson, but she replied calmly and cuttingly, "Have you any more insults to offer me? I am quite aware of the difference in our positions, and am sure that no man, on whom the rich Miss Patterson has once condescended to smile, could ever demean himself to look at another woman still, I warn you, you may perhaps regret, your very kind permission." -7 Alice rose from her seat and sauntered towards the window. "I shall regret nothing," she observed, and vanished out on to the balcony.

Miss Rogers sank into a chair, exhausted by the varied emotions she had been experiencing that afternoon. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed bitterly she did not hear the door open and shut gently, nor the quick step of a xnan cross the floor to her side but she felt gentle handB touch hers, and a voice say softly in her ear, "Anna, darling, tell me, what is it?"

She endeavored to snatch her hands away from his, but he held them fast.

"Anna, darling, tell nw, xohat is itfw "I will not let you go until I have told you that I love you. "Oh, how I love you! For God's sake do not send me away."

Anna ceased struggling, and lifting her head proudly and almost- defiantly, said steadily: "And I love you. I will not send you away."

Alice Patterson stood at the window, and watched this little scene. Sho was very pale, and one hand clutched convulsively at the blind cord. Presently her fixed gaze attracted the principal actors, and they looked up. Anna sprang to her feet tho other fluslled up to his temples, but still kept her hand in his. "And so, Miss Rogers, I suppose I must congratulate you. Are you going to marry this gentleman?" asked Alice. "Miss Rogers has done me the honor to accept me," said tho young man haughtily. "Do you really intend to marry him?" persisted the girl, paying no attention to his interruption. "Yes," said Anna, in a low voice. 'This shows me the true wprth of your valuable affections," Alice continued, turning now to her quondam lover. "I am jilted absolutely jilted!" "Stop this farce," interposed the young man roughly. I have been intending for days to explain to Miss Rogers the absurd situation you have placed me in. I" His sentence was destined never to be completed a knock at the door, and a masculine voice demanding permission to enter, interrupted him.

Alice went quickly to tho door and opened it. A stranger, a stout, middle aged man, entered the room he took Alice's hand and pressed it warmly between both of his, saying, "I have only just arrived, and hastened at once to see you. You received nxy letter?" "It was delayed, and only reached me half an hour ago, but 1 am delighted to see you," replied Alice. "I must introduce you to Miss Rogers, the lady who is kindly traveling with me also, to Mr. Mayne, the gentleman Miss Rogers is about to marry." "What!" exclaimed Anna, starting forward. "Mr. Mayne! and who is Mr. Vanbruton?"

Hie stout stranger smiled and bowed. "My name is Vanbruton, John Vanbruton," and noticing with surprise the generally disturbed air of the little part? he had eo suddenly appeared amongst, continued: "Perhaps I had better find out my rooms, and return later." "Very well," 'assented Alice, "Mr. Mayne, do go with Mr. Vanbruton and look after him."

The new comer hardly appeared as if he required looking after, hut the young man obeyed, and tho two left tho room. "And now will you explain what all this means?" cried Anna, with an air of great bewilderment. "Willingly,'' said Alice," and seated herself the table, and, resting her elbow on it, shielded her face with ono hand, «o that she could watch her companidfti with her own countenance

rERRB HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT*

haif

hidden. „c "The evening wis arrived hem, a fortnight ago, I accidentally, really accidentally, met this gentleman, Mr. Mayne, who wis ooce a *«y great friend of mine, hot whom I was forbidden, for oerfepa naaoos of mj mother^, to be

any longer friendly with. On the spur of the moment I made up a plan by which I could enjoy his society for at least a few weeks before we parted, probably forever. Very few of my friends are acquainted with either Gerald Mayne or Mr. Vanbruton, so 1 proposed to the former that he should, as a sort of joke, you Iciow, take the name of the latter, just while in our company you may have observed that I have never introduced him to any casual acquaintances hem. I impressed upon him that if you knew who he really was, you would report his presence to mamma, and then adieu to all our fun at Lucerne. He agreed— he generally did to Anything I chose to do—and I introduced him to you as my fiance. Of course, it was all very wrong, but I meant it as a sort of practical joke, a bad one, perhaps, especially as I soon found my lot was to play second fiddle, and voila toutC "That was not all," Miss Rogers said slowly. "It wa3 not all a joke there was something else."

There was silence for a minute or two between the two women, and nothing was heard but tho gentle splash-splash of the lake then, with a visible effort, Alice said, in a hurried and nervous voice: "Yes. you are right there was something else. You remember the day you came to Haythorpe? I fetched your handkerchief from your room, there was an unfinished letter on the floor" "Which you read," Anna interrupted. "How honorable! How truly honorable!" "You need not eneer so," retorted Alice. "It waa hardly honorable on your part to purpose doing your best to marry my intended husband. I was replacing your letter on the table, when two or three words arrested my attention, and I read it through. I then twisted it up and let it blow away out of the window. You see, it was I who did evil that good might come. I have not lost my husband, and you are engaged to be married to the man you profess to love. No harm has been done, and I suppose all parties will be satisfied." "And how do you think tho real Mr. Vanbruton will enjoy this little comedy?" asked Miss Rogers quietly. "I dare say it may amuse liim, if you think it absolutely necessary to tell him," replied Alice carelessly. "But he will hardly think much of the part you have played in it as for mine, I have nc doubt that I shall be able to explain it satisfactorily. And now you mention him," she added, rising and going to the door, "I will go and see where he is. Shall I send Gerald?" "One minute, Miss Patterson," exclaimed the other "I should like to say one thing more. I know it is useless to ask your pardon, but I swear that I waf sorry when it was too Jate, How can a girl like you, brought up to have everything almost that you can wish for, loved by fond parents, shielded by them from all possible care or sorrow, know or guess the temptations which surround a woman like me, who havo been left to shift for myself from earliest childhood! I have had no one to guard mo against hardships and troubles. True, I have a brother who lends me a helping hand when he can, but, poor fellow, he needs one too often himself."

As Alico listened, the hard expression in her face melted away, and her volx waa kind and gentle as she replied: "Do not speak so bitterly, Anna. If what you say is true, my fault is much greater than yours, for I have far less excuse. Believe me, in everything there is compensation. Remember, after all, you have Gerald, and if he is not a Mr. Vanbruton, at least ho is not quite penniless." And so saying Alice quietly left the room. "After all, you have Gerald!" These words rang in Anna's

to and fro but had she got him? What would he say if he knew, if he evei happened to know? She was thinking thus when the man himself entered the room. He went straight to her and took her into his arms. "Darling, can you ever forgive me foi having so grossly deceived you? At first I did it for fun, and then afterwards 1 did not dare tell you, as I feared that you would send me away, thinking tliat 1 was Alice's lover whom sho was not tc meet, and that I should have to leave you. What must you havo thought 1 me, believing me to be engaged to one girl, and yet knowing, as you must have known, that I had fallen in lovo with you? Will you forgive me, dearest?"

She drew herself gently away from him. "I forgive you with all my heart: listen to me, and then I wonder if you can pardon as easily.' "I will listen to nothing," he cried impetuously. "I know you love me, tliat is enough." Once more he put his arms around her, and this time she did not resist. "Are you sure," she murmured, "you are not mistaking mo for Alice?" For answer he kissed her lovingly and tenderly, and aha seemed quite satisfied with that reply.

DRESSING WELL ON $350 A YEAR.

A Clever Woman Artist Tells How She Manage* to Appear in Good Clothes. I am a woman artist, and with economy make a good living. During the winter season I make money, as I cannot fill my orders as fast as received, but in summer I only work about half the time. I believe In good living, and it costs me $19 per week to pay for my board and washing. Now. with your permission, I want to tell how I manage, as among my friends I have the reputation of being a very well dressed woman, and I am sure I never .spend over $350 a year on my wardrobe. One woman says "1 can't provido evening gowns," I da In fact, I try to havo clothes fit to wear to any place that I might want to go to, aa it must make one very unhappy to have to stay at home because "she has nothing to wear."

I take good care of my clothes, and never buy anything in the extreme fashion, as plain colors wear longer and look better. I never buy early in the season, but late, when good materials can be bought for prices that I can afford. I never buy ready made garments. I never buy but two hats a yea*—ono for winter, one for summer— and always "fix up" last year's hats for everyday wear. I wear black or dark colored dresses every day, and look them over quite often, and see that a stitch is taken whon needed. I make all my dress skirts and every day waists, 'sewing an hour or two in the evening when I have it to do. Tho following will show what I have spent., and how, in the List twelve months: Spring gown of cloth Spring wrap V!5 Umbrella 6 Hats for the year 18 Gloves for the year Boots aud low shoce for tbe year 14 Two dark flannel gowns to paint in 10 Two wash dresses 6 Winter cloth gown ud ooat. 85 Fur cape. 15 White evening' ROWU J!0 Blaok cashmere gown 18 Silk gown 40 Underwear, hosiery, ertc s.0 Fixing over last year's gowns. 10 Collars, aprons, ribbons, trte. 10

Total $«7 You see, I have something left over for next year if I decide to buy any expensive garment. I allow myself $850 a year for clothes, and by keeping them in order and by nsing judgment in buying I always make a good appearanoe. I never buy lxv couse the stuff is pretty it must look as if It would wear "like iron" to tempt me. One year I made all my old clothes do, exoept shoes and gloves, and put all my money into a seal coat. Next month 1 intend to have a new laoe gown, and when made it will not oost me more than $20 but I fear it would oost some women $60. The secret of dressing well on little lies in the buying, and in being willing to sew some for one's self. What onepays for the mnJrlng of a dress will often buy another, and itte every woman's privilege to sew and her dutyio know how to sew well.— 0o». New York Evening Sun.

A Railway Toilet.

In the morning try to have three-quar-ters of an hour for the toilet, and this may be secured by either rising before the other women or lying until they are through. Slip on stockings and shoes, the underclothes, and flannel wrapper over all, carrying tho dress and underskirts across the arm, and t^e satobel In the other hand. Spread the satchel wide, and take out the sponge in its oil silk bug, the soap and tooth brush in their traveling boxes, aud unroll the linen fchrct hold wisk broom, brushes and oomb, hairpins and and pins. Brush the droas and skirts well, and hang them on the hooks, out of tbe way.

Brush the hair smartly to remove the dust, and arrange it compactly for the day, putting away in its place each toilet article aa it is fiuisbed with. Lay the railroad towels on the floor, and one's own larger ones near at band. From the wicker covered oologno bottle pour a generous quantity into the water tn the bowl, and, hanging all ciothca out of the way, stand on the towels aud tako a sponge bath from hcvul to foot The oolcgpie absolutely cleanses away all railway dust, and the freshness resulting from auoh a bath will make all the difference between a pleasant and an unptawant day. Drew oarefully and completely, and, after laying everything away in the satchel, do not fail to wipe off tbe wash stand and lay the wet towels out of the way, so that one's successor may find the plaoe orderly and clean.—Harper's BaHW.

Versatility la OM Time ActreMM. Wo had to make upour minds very much mow quickly, in tbe matter of costumes, when I waa with the late Mrs. F. B. Conway's company in Brooklyn. We changed the bill three times a week, except when stars cause along with their repertoire. Stars didn't carry their own companies then, aad the parts would be given us on Thursday to be perfect in and pl/iy thorn on the following Monday. I had a remarkable Kne of business there, known as "old women and responsible." It simply meant doing anything useful, and I did it, from singing and dancing an Irish jig in knee breeches to corking my face and playing the of Abyssinia in Brougham's burlesque of "Much Ado About a Merchant of VeafM," Introducing an "Essence" in big nlggsr shoes. And when the chambermaid waa ill I studied and played her part in fact, I would have gone on for anything, from Hamlet to Little Lord Swaddlenkins. —Annie Ycamana.
