CHAPTER XL

rion«»!y at his attire on tho contrary, at least otic lady, in a late party that boarded the elevated train on which he was returning to his hotel, regarded him with evident admiration. Not many days before, even this sort of attention would have made him uncomfortable, but the experiences of his evening at Miss Dinou's had impressed bim with the probability that ho would be to a certain degree an object of admiration, and bo was already prepared to accept it as a matter of course—very much, in fact, as he had been taught to accept whatever else which life seemed sure to bring.

Of one thing bo feltsnre Lucia did not regard him unfavorably. Perhaps she did not love him—-be was modest enough to admit that there was no possible reason why she should—yet she had not attempted to withdraw that little hand—bless it!—when he was covering it with kisses. She had appropriated him, in tbo loveliest way imaginable, not only onoo but several times during the evening, showing marked preference for him. Perhaps this was not so great a compliment as at first »ight it seemed, for, hold his own faoe and flguro in as low esteem as he might, he nevertheless felt miro that tho best looking young man in Miss Diuon's parlors was plainer and less manly than himself. But if her acceptance of his homage and her selection of him as her cavalier were not enough, there was that jealous look, twice repeated. He informed himself that the look did not become hor it destroyed the charm of her expression it made "her appear hard and unnatural yot he would not lose the memory of it for worlds.

Could it bo true, as bo bad hoard while unintentionally a listener, that her father was not rich? Well, ho was sorry for him yet this, too, was a ground for hope. After what ho had hoard, it was not impossible to bolievo that perhaps tho father of the country youth, with his thirty or forty thousand dollars' worth of good land, which had been prospected as a possible site for a village of seaside cottages for rich people, might bo no poorer than the father of tho city girl It seemod impossible, as ho mentally compared the residences of the two families, yet he had heard more than once that city people as a class seemed always striving ^o live not only up to their Incomes, but as far beyond them as tradesmen and money lenders would allow.

As to tho talk he had beard about Miss Dinon, bo resonted it, and would not think of it as in tho leust degree probable. To be sure, ho would not believe her 86, though if she were ho heartily honored her that she bad lived so well as to look for younger than her years. Still he was not to bo bought, even by a handsome and intelligent woman. It was not uncomplimentary, though, tha^any one should hnve thought him so attractive to Miss Dinon—A woman whom he was sure must havo had plenty of offers in hor day. But should ho ever ehanoo to marry rich, what a sweet uid perpetual revenge it would be upon people who bad looked and probably talked as If ho were an awkward country youth

Thftn came bock to him suddenly in all their blackness his moody thoughts over tho obdurate facta in the case. Prolong his butterfly day as long as his money would allow, he must soon return to his normal condition of a country grub he must return to the farm, to bis well wftra clothes of antiqfb cut and neighborly patches, to tho care of horses, cows, pigs and chickens, take "pot luck" in tho family kitchen, Instead of carefully selecting his meobt froiu long bills of fare. Instead of attending receptions in handsome houses, ho must geek society in church sociables and the hilarious yot very homely parties given by neighboring farmers, and an occasional affair, not much moro formal, in tho villoma

It was awful, but it seemed inevitable, no matter how he tortured his brain in trying to devise an alternative. If be bod a little money ho might speculate in stocks there, at least, he might benefit by his acquaintance with Marge but all the money be had would not more than maintain him in New York a fortnight longer, and bo had not the heart to ask his father for mom His father I—what »old that good, much abused man bo already thinking of him, that no word from the traveller had yet reached Hayn Ffermt He would write that very night—or morning, late though it was and ho felt very virtuous as he resolved that none of the discontent that tilled him should get Into his letter.

It wast nearly sunrfeo when he went to bed. From his window, eight floors from the ground, he could see across the ugly house tops a nwy flush In the cost, and tome little afouds wwts glowing with goki under the bias canopy. Rose, blue, gold—Lucia's cheeks, her eyes, her hair be would think only of them, for they were his delight his misery could wait it would ham its control of him soon enough.

Agnes and her mother know how to entertain it's a real pleasure to go to supper there.

Upon my word I shouldn't have known him if I hadn't known he bad been invited and would probably come, was in terror lest he would come dressed as be did. to our reception last week, and the girls would get over their admiration of his talk and tease me about him.

"Margie," whispered Lucia, suddenly seating herself on tho bedside, and, instead of the desired pinch, burying her cheek on a pillow close against her sister's shoulder, "after be had put me into tho carriage be kissed my hand—oh, ever so many times."

"Well, I'll let you off—for a little while, If you'll tell mb how it feels to have your hand kissed." "It feels," said Lucia, meditatively, "a's it something rather heavy was pressing upon your glove."

know that the remainder of the business world knew it also was worse there is a of humiliation in merely holding one's own Car a'long period which is ^infinitely more provoking and depressing to a. business man than an absolute failure or assignment

How closely every one in Tramlay's business circle watched the iron market! There was not an industry in the world the itwct degree dependent upon Iron which they did not also watch closely and deduce apparent probabilities which they exchanged with one another. The pro ceedings of congress the results of Sections, the political movements abroad that tended So either peace or war, became interesting solely through their possible influence upon the iron trade. Again and again they were sure that the active and upward movement was begin atonce the opening of along closed mill to execute a small order, even a longer interval than usual between the closings of mills, was enough to lift up their col lective hearts for a whiia Then ail would become faint hearted again when they realized that they, like Hosea Biglow's chanticleer, had been

Mistakin' moon rise for the break o' day But suddenly, through causes that no one had foreseen, or which all had discounted so often that they had feared to consider them again, iron began to look up some small orders, of along absent kind, began to creep into the market, prices improved little as stock depleted, several mills made haste to open, and prudent dealers, who had been keeping down expenses for months and years, now began to talk hopefully of what they expected to do in the iine.of private expenditures.

news flies fast the upward tendency

of iron was soon talked of in New York's thousands of down town offices,,-where, to an outside observer, talk seems the principal industry. Men in other businesses that were depressed began to consult iron men who had weathered the storms and endured tho still more destructive calms of the long period of depression. Bankers began to greet iron men with more cordiality than of late. Announcements of large orders for iron given by certain railroads and accepted by certain mills began to appear on the tapes of the thousands of stock indicators throughout the city.

It naturally followed that Mr. Marge, to whom the aforesaid "tape" seemed the breath of life, began to wonder whether, in the language of Wall street, he bad not a ''privilege" upon which be might "realize." If tho upward movement of iron was to continue and 'become general, Tramlay would undoubtedly be among those who would benefit by it Would the result be immediate, or would Tramlay first have to go into liquidation, after the manner of many merchants who through a long depression keep up an appearance of business which is destroyed by the first opportunity for actual transactions} Marge had long before, for business purposes, made some acquaintances in the bank with which Tramlay did business, but he did not dare to inquire too pointedly about his friend's balance and discounts Besides, Marge had learned, through the published schedules of liubilitiesof numerous insolvents, that some business men have a way of borrowing privately and largely from relatives and friends.

He would risk nothing, at any rate, by a gentle and graceful increase of attention to Lucia. He flattered himself that he was quite competent to avoid direct proposal until such time as might entirely suit him. As for Lucia, she was too fond of the pleasures of the season just about to open to hold'him to account were he to offer her some of them. The suggestion that his plans had a mercenary aspect did not escape him, for even a slave of the stock tape may have considerable conscience and self respect He explained to himself $hat he did notesteem Lucia solely for her possible expectations she was good, pretty, vivacious, ornamental, quite iriSelT" gent—for a girl, and he had aa honest tenderness for her as the daughter of a woman he had really loved many years before, and might have won had he not been too deliberate But his income was not large enough to support the establishment he would want as a married man, so he would have to depend to a certain extent upon his wife, or upon her father.

It was solely with this view, he explained to himself, that he had made careful reconnoissancea in other directions if some ladies who would have been acceptable—Miss AgneB Dinon, for instance—had not been able to estimate him rightly as a matrimonial candidate, ho was sure that they as well as ho had been losers through their lack of perception. As matters now stood, Lucia was his only ap parent chance in the circle where he belonged and preferred to remain. His purpose to advance his suit was quickened, within a very few days, by the announcement on the tape that a roiling mill in which he know Tramlay was largely interested had received a very large order for railroad iron and would open at once.

But indications that iron was looking up were not restricted to the business portion of the cdty. Tramlay, who, like many another hard headed business man, lived solely for his family, bad delighted his wife and daughters by announcing that they might have a long run on the continent the next year. And one morning at breakfast he exclaimed: "Do any of you know where that young Hayn is stopping! I want'him." "Why, Edgar 1" said Mrs. Tramlay. "What are you going to do to him, papar 1 Margie, seeing that Lucia wanted to know, but did not seem able to ask. "I want another clerk," was tho reply, "and I believe Hayn is just my man. can teach him quickly all he needs to know, and I want some one who 1 am sure hasn't speculation on the brain, nor any other bad habits. That young Hayn commands respect—from me, at any rata I used to find down in the country that he, like his father, knew better than 1 what was going on in the world. I believe bell make* first rate business man Pm willing to try him, at any rata"

Marge stole a glance at Locia that young lady was looking at a chicken croquette as intently as if properly to manage such a morsel with a fork required akrt watchful-

"Tbe idea of farmer's boy in aNew York merchant^ counting room exclaimed Mr* Tramlay. *Yoo seem to forget, my daar, that nearly all the feuccessful merchants is New York were once country beg*, and that ail the new men who are making their mark are tram every where but New York Itself."

"If young Hayn Is as unaribie as aim, be will probably be wise enough to define your offer and go bade to his father^ Sarin. You yocrseif utod to say that you would rather be in their jbuitaai than yoor «ra." A "Bright wocnanr replied Ttamlay, with a nOe and a nod "tat wouldn't havo thought so at his age, awl 1 dant believe Hayn vffl. oan afford to pay him as orach as tfcat farm earn in a year say ua& dant believe W9 decline that amount of money 'twill to tateeam of himself in good bachelor style and save eomething beddst Pa sura, too, Ml Bks to remain la the efcy. country yemths always drafter they hav«a it*

Margie glanced as Locia, but the

**He"bad far" better "be at home," persisted Mrs. Tramlay, "where the Lord put him in the first place." "Well," said Tramlay, finishing a cup of coffee, "if the Lord had meant every one to remain where he was born. I don't believe he would have given each person a pair of feet And what a sin it mut lie to make railroad iron, which tempts and aids hundreds of thousandsof people to^move about!" "Don't be irreverent, Edgar, and, ebove all things, try not to be ridiculous," said the lady of the house. "And when you've spoiled this youth and be goes back to home a disappointed *mon, dont forget that. you were warned in time." "Spoiled! That sort of a fellow dont spoil. not if I'm any judge of buman nature. Why. if he should take a notion to the iron trado, there's nothing to prevent him becoming a merchant prinoe some day—a young Napo leon of steel rails, or angle iron, or something. Like enough I'll be glad.son^tin^to gethim to Morse my nota*-^^|M

Once more Margie'seyessougbt her sister's, but Lucia seemed to have grown near sighted over that chicken croquette, for Margie could see only a tiny nose tip under a tangle of yellow hair. "My capacity for nonsense is lessening as I grow older," said Mrs. Tramlay. "Ill have to ask you to excuse me." Then, with the air of an overworked conservator of dignity, the lady left the dining room. "Excuse me, too," said her husband a moment later,, after looking at his watch. "Conversation is the thief of time—in the early morning. Good-by. children."

Margie sprang from her chair and threw her arms around her father's neck. She wasa fairly affectionate daughter, but such exuberance came only by fits and starts, and it was not the sort of thing that any father with a well regulated heart cares to hurry away from, even when business is looking up When finally Tramlay was released he remarked: "I used to have two daughters—eh, Luf"

Lucia arose, approached her father softly nmi with head down, put her arms around bim and rested her head on bis breast as she had not often done in late years, except after a conflict and the attendant reconciliation. Her father gave her a jnighty squeeze, flattened a few crimps and waves that had cost same effort to produce and finally said "I must be off. Give me a kiss, Lu.

The girl's face did not upturn promptly, so. the merchant assisted it His hands werestrong and Lucia's neck was slender, yet it took some effort to force that little head to a [Hggnhln poea When the father succeeded, he exclaimed: "What a splendid complexion October air brings to a girl who's spent the summer in the country I There good-by."

Away went Tramlay to his business. Tho instant he was out of the room Margie snatched Lucia iu her arras and the couple waltzed madly about, regardless of the fact that the floor of aNew York dining room has about as little unencumbered area as that of the smallest apartment in a tenement house.

Errors About Lamp Chimneys. A well known glassworker, who has been making lamp chimneys for one of Pittsburg's big firms for a longtime, expressed his amusement the other day to a reporter at an account of an old southern lady who had used the same lamp chimney for over eight years, and who attributedits toughness to having boiled it in salt and water. "This idea is as funny as it is old," said he, "for water cannot be made hot enough to penetrate or melt gloss. An other curious idea is to chip a fragment out of tho chimney so as to enable It to expand more readily. In chipping out the i-icco half the time a small crack is mode, and lie first excessive heat the glass endures erminates its existence. "Although I havo boon making lamp chimneys a good many years I confess freely I don't know how it is some are so much tougher than others. At home I have a thin, cheap chimnoy that I have usod regularly for at least two years, while I have used up three 'unbreakable' ones in one year on another lamp. I am inclined to think thnt there is more luck than salt water about toughened glass."—Pittsburg Dispatch

A Woman Who Has Succeeded. Miss Cynthia M. "Westover, the private secretary of Commissioner Hans S. Beattie, of the street cleaning department, draws the largest salary of any woman secretary in New York. She succeeded Gilbert O. F. Nicoll, who was promoted to the position of chief clerk in the department, and she gets $1,500 a year.

Miss Westover went into the New York custom house during the Magone administration, and won distinction as an inspector. When Mr. Beattie was appointed surveyor of the port of New York she became his private secretary, and Surveyor Lyon engaged her in the same capacity when he took charge of the office about year ago.

Mi as Westover is a western woman of birth and education, and is conversant with several foreign languages. This accomplishment will be vary useful in the many inquiries that have to be made among the Italian and other foreign laborers to prevent the peddling out of appoint ment tickets. She is a remarkably pretty woman of about 28, but does not appear to be over 21.—Ne# York Press.

Lasting Soap Bubble*.

To make soap bubbles that will last for several hours is easy enough if the following liquid be used:

Dissolve one part by weight of Marseilles soap, cut into dices, in forty porta of distilled water, and filter. Call the filtered liquid A, and mix two parte of pore glycerine with one part of the solution A, in a temperature of $0 degs. Fahrenheit, and, after shaking them together long and violently, leave tbem to rent for some days.

A clear liquid will settle, with a turbid one above. With a siphon suck the lower one from beneath the upper, taking the utmost care not to carry down any of the turbid liquid mixed with the clear fiaid.

Babbles blown with this will last for several boon, even in the open air. The mixed liquid may also be filtered after standing twenty-four hours.—Youth's Companion.

A SENSIBLE PAD..

Breakfast anil Lunch Clubs- Combining Pleasure and Kconomy. There is a very notable revulsion of feeling on the part of society in the matter of useless display and lavish expenditure in entertaining.. From this time out common sense promises to ent»r more largely into such matters,, with the healthful result of fewer- heartburnings and & less- marked tendency todyspepsia.

The petty jealousies which beset the average society, woman when,, in spite of the knowledge that she has strained every point to put forth her best appearance and have her entertainment a success,, she sees, her neighbor,, blessed with a larger installment of this world's goods,, without the slightest apparent, efforty forge ahead,, are likely to make- her feel old and forlorru even before the close of the first season.

Doubtless-all these truths^bave hadmuchi to do with the organization of two clubs,, which, in every instance limit the expenditure for entertainments at their various meetings to a specified, sum. The-first of these, the Breakfast club,, is composed of six members, and, like the second,, the Lunch club, is. an organization of some of the- most fashionable womea in society,, the majority of. whom,, should they so desire,. are able- to entertain in. the most lavish manner.. The rule of the Breakfast club is that noone mealat which the members. are entertained shall cost more thani $6, exclusive of flowers. At each, meeting the hostess-of the day has. the privilege of inviting one young, lady,, who is the only outside guest present. By far the- more interesting of the two organizations,, however, is the Lunch dub,, which numbers nine members, for which, each, hostess must exercise her ingenuity to devise a course luncheon, at the outlay of (3. That the thing is. not only practicable, but that it can be done'with happy result, has already been proved a number of times by the various hostesses, each of whom vies with her predecessor in. devising, a menu which shall combine the qualities of variety, simplicity and plenty.

The following, a menu served at one of the recont luncheons, will be read with interest by every woman, whnther she be in or out of the social swim: Bouillon 10 Loaf Vienna, bread.... 05 Chicken (threefor) ..ft 00 Asparagus, lettuce with, mayonnaise dressing 35 Veal croquettes, calves? brain sauce S& One-quarter peck greengpe&a 85 Cheese sticks 12 One quart home made ice cream— SB Mint Julopv tho ingredients for which (bunch of mint. 8 cents plntof whisky, 60 cents two lemons, 3 cents) cost 05 One quart peanuts, served shelled 00 jgj Total..

The only extra allowed is coffee, and t$e invariable rule is that cach hostess shall have plainly marked on tho menu opposite cach article the cost price. Should there be the slightest deviation from this rule the hostess is not only fined $1 & each instance, but, what is far more to tho point, is adjudged deficient in resources and below the standard of her neighbors. These luncheons, it must bo remembered, are not mere commonplace affairs, tho culinary expression of women whose thoughts reflect the interior working of tho dining room or pastry cooks' art, but are very dainty, and are served and presided over by women of means whose names occur with almost daily frequency in every list of fashionable entertainments during the winter.—Washington Cor. New York Times.

Woman's Lovo Too Expressive. An old lady once told me that when she was a girl she visited a bride frientl, and when tho husband came home at night, tired, hungry, cold and cross, his young wife rushed into the hall and seized him as he struggled out of his overcoat, devoured him with kisses, to which he responded: "There, there, my dear perhaps if you didn't want to kiss me quite so much I should want to kiss you more."

Of course, the man was a brute, but his brutality was founded upon a sound truth. The great trouble with woman under conditions of permitted love is that she lavishes out of the vast treasure house of her affections a great deal more than the object can receive or assimilate. Her own powers of loving and being loved are so tremendously in excess of his that they weary, terrify and satiate him long before she has adequately expressed her own tenderness.—Mrs. Frank Leslie.

Senator Walthall'! Daughter. Miss Courtney Walthall, the daughter of Senator Walthall of Mississippi, is by all odds the prettiest young woman in the senatorial circle. She is a brunette, with a clear complexion and rich coloring. Her features are regular and delicately cut, her teeth are like pearls, her hair brown, and her eyes of liquid hazel, expressive and beautiful. Mini Walthall has a petite figure, well rounded and graceful, ller charm of manner is sweetness and naturalness. She is not young woman to delight In the gay and frivolous round of social life, and her father's desire is to save her from becoming a "fashionable woman." She Is the apple of his eye, and the devotion is mutual.—Washington Letier.

Care of the Teeth.

A child's teeth should be confided to the care of a dentist while they are making their appearance.
