said Tram lay to his wito one evening in late winter, "tbo spoil is broken. Three different people have bought building sites of the Haynton Boy company, fend a number of others seem interested. There** been a good deal of money made this

Tratnlay seemed piuuled. His wife Anally came his aid, and continued: "I should like to know if Lacia's affair Is to dawdle along as it has been doing. Juno is as late in the season as is fashionable for weddings, and an engagement" interrupted the merchant, with a gesture of annoyance, "I'vo heard the customary talk -wout mother love, and believed It. up to date, but I can't possibly bring my self to bo ns anxious as you to got rid of our blessed first born." "It Is because I love her that I am so desirous of seeing her happy and settled—not to get rid of her." "Yes, I suppose so and I'm a brute," said the husband. "Well, If Phil has been waiting until ho should be certain about his own condition financially, he will not need to wait much longer. I don't know whether it's through brains, or tact, or what's called lover's luck, but bo's been doing so well among railroad jwople that in common docency 1 must either raise his salary largely or give him an interest in the business." "Well, really, you speak as If the business depended upon him." "For month or two he's been taking all tho orders I've boon simply a sort of clerk, to distribute them among mills, or find out where iron could be had for those who wanted it in haste. He's after an order now—from the Lake and Qulfside road—that I let him attempt at first merely to keep him from growing conceited. It seemed too great and difficult a job to place any hopo on, but I am beginning to half believe ho'll succeed. If he does I'll Mmply bo compelled to give him an Interest in tha business if I don't some of my competitors will coax him away from me." "What! after all you havo done for himf' "Tuti tutl tho favor is entirely on the other side. Had some outsider brought me the orders which that Iwy has token, I woold have had to pay twenty times as much in commissions as Phil's salary has amounted to. What do you think of 'Edgar Tramlay & Co.' for a business sign, or oven 'Tramlay & Haynf "I suppose It will have to be." said tho lady, without any indication of gratification, "and, if It must bo, the sooner tho better, for it can't help making Lucia's position more certain. If it dtx-sn't do so at once, I shall believe it my duty to speak to tho young man." "Don't! don't, I Implore!" exclaimed tho merchant, "He will think"— "What he may think Is of noconiwquonce," said Mrs. Troiulay. '"It is timo that he should know what clt-y etiquette demands." "But It Iwi'tiioeostKiry, Is it, that he should know how matter-of-fact and cold hearted wo city people can be about matters which country jwoplo think should be approached with the utmost heart and delicacy! Don't let him kuow what a mercenary, self serving lot of wretches we are, until he is so fixed that ho can't run away." "Edgar, tho subject is not one to ba joked about, I. owmro you." "And 1 assure you, my dear, that I'm not more than half joking—not a bit more.!' "I shall nut iy more than thousands of tho most loving and discroot mothers have been obliged to say in similar circumstances," said Mrs. Tramlay. "If you cannot trust mo to discharge this duty delicately, perhaps you will have the kindn«* to undertake it your self." "The very thing!" said Tramlay. "If he must have unpleasant recollections of on© of us I would rather it wouldn't be his mother-in-law. The weight of precedent is against you, dont you know f—though not through any fault of yours.w "Will you seriously promise to spaak to himf At once?—this very weokf "I promise" said Tramlay solemnly, at tho nunc time wickedly making a number of mental reservations. "Then if there shouM be any mistake it will not be too late to recall poor Mr. Marge," said Mr*. Tramlay. "My dear wife," said Tramlay, tenderly, "I know Marge has some good qualities, bet 1 bef? vou to remember that by the time our daughter ought to be in the very prime of her beauty and spirits, unkws her health fails,

interest in Lucia's future I might not have been so anxious. Fathers never socm to think that their daughters ought to havo husbands." "Fathers don't like girls to marry before they are women," said Tramiay. "Even now I wish Lu might not marry until she is several years older." "Mercy!" exclaimed Mrs. Tramlay. "Would you want the poor child to go through several more years of late parties, and dancing, and dressing! Why, she'd become desperate and want to go into a nunnery or become a novelist, or reformer, or something." "What! Is society really so dreadful to a young girl f" asked the husband. "It's the most tiresome thing in the world after tho novelty wears off," said Mrs. Tramlay, "unless she is fond of flirting, or gets into one of the prosy sets where they talk about nothing but books and music and pictures and blue china and such things." "Live and learn," quoted the merchant. "Next time I become a young man and marry TO bring up my family in the country. My sisters bad at least horses and trees and birds ami flowers and chickens to amuse them, and not one of them married until she was twentyfive."

Mrs. Tramlay maintained a discreet silence, for, except their admiration for their brother, Mrs. Tramlay had never been able to And a point of contact in her sisters-in-law. Tramlay slowly left the room and went to bis club, informing himself, as he walked, that there were times in which a man really needed the society of men.

Meanwhile, Phil had for the twentieth time been closeted with the purchasing officials of the Lake and Gulfside railroad—as disagreeable and suspicious a couple as he bad ever found among Haynton's assortment of expert grumblers. Had he been more experienced in business ho would have been less hopeful, for, as everybody who was anybody in the iron trado knew tho Lake and Gulfside had planned a branch nearly two hun-i tired miles long, and there would be forty or fifty thousand tons of rails needed, everybody who was anybody in the iron trade was trying to secure at least a portion of the order. Phil's suggestion that Tramlay should try to secure tho contract had affected the merchant about as a proposition of a child to build a house might have done but to avoid depressing tho young man's spirits, he had consented, and had himself gone so far as to get terms, for portions of the possible order, from men who were looking for encouragement to open their long closed mills.

Unknown to the merchant, and fortunately f»r Phil, one of the Lake and Gulfside purchasing agents had years before chanced to be a director in a company that placed a small order with Tramlay, and, remembering and liking tho way in which It had been filled, was predisposed toward the house's new representative from the first. But Trarnlny, not hiawttt8» w,r*uu»« to Phil's luck when tho young man Invaded the whist room of tho club, called Tramlay away from a table just as cards had been dealt, and exclaimed in a hoarse whispei "I've got It!" "Got what!" asked tho merchant, not over pleased at tho Interruption. Phil stared so wildly that his employer continued: "Not the smallpox, I trust. What is It? Can't you speak?" "I should think you'd know," said the young man, looking somewhat aggrieved, y"Not Lake nnd Gulfsldef "Exactly that," said Phil, removing his hat and holding it just as he remembered to have seen a conqueror's hat held In a colored print of "Gen. Scot* entering the City of Mexico." "Hurrah!" shouted the merchant, dashing to tho floor the cards ho held. This movement eliciting an angry protest from tho table, Tramlay picked up the cards, thrust them into the handsof a lounger, said: "Play my hand for mo. Gentleman, I must beg you to excuse me sudden and Importaut business" seized his hat, and hurried Phil to tho street, exclaiming: "Sure there is no mistake aborts it? It seems too good to be true." "There's no mistake about tins," Phil replied, taking a letter from his pocket. Tho merchant hurried to the nearest street lamp, looked at tho written order, and said "My boy, your fortune is made. Do you realixo what a great stroke of business this tsf" "I hope so," said PhlL "What do you want me to do for you!

Name vour terms or figures." Phil "was silent, for tbo very good that he did not know how to sav what was his heart. "Suppose I alter ray dgn to Trwnlay & Hayn and make you my equal partner!**

Still Phil was silent. "Well," said the merchant, "It seemed to me that was a fair offer but if It doesn't troefc your views speak out and say what you prefer," "Mr. Tramlay," said the young man, trying to speak calmly, but failing most lamentably, "they say a countryman never is satisfied in a trade union he gets something to boot." "Very well. What shall it bef "MlUtK»—every thing that is, I wish you'd give me your daughter too.

The merchant laughed softly and shook hi* bead. Phil started and his heart felL "I don't see how I can do that," said Tram lay, "for, unkws my eyes deceive me, yew already have her." "Tbank heave® exclaimed Phil devoutly.

So say I," the merchant responded.

& W. clique, laughed all such "bear" stories to scorn, and when scprn seemed somewhat insa&cient they greatly increased the volume of stlen and maintained the price by the familiar, simple, but generally successful expedient of buying from one another through many different brokers in the stock market The bear party rallit-d within a day or two, and returned to the charge with an entirely new set o€ lies, besides an accidental truth or two: but the E. & W. clique was something of a liar itself, and arranged for simultaneous delivery, at different points on the street, of a lot of stories so full of new mineral developments on tbe lino of the road, and so many new evidences of the management's shrewd ness, that criticism was silenced for a while.

But bears must live as well as bulls, and the longer they remain hungry the harder they are sure to fight for their prey so the street was soon favored with a fresh assortment of rumors. This time they concerned themselves principally with the alleged bod condition of the track and rolling stock i:» tbe west, and with doubts as to the mineral deposits said to have been discovered. The market was reminded that other railroad companies, by scores, had marie all sorts of brilliant discoveries and announcements that had failed to materialize, awl that soma of these roads had been managed by hands that now seemed to be controlling E. & W.

Then the E. & W. management lost its ordinary temper and accused the bears of malignant falsehood. There was nothing unusual in this, in a locality where no one is ever suspected of telling the truth while he can make anything by lying. When, however, E. & W. issued invitations to large operators, particularly in the company's stock, for a special excursion over the road, with opportunities for thorough investigation, the bears growled sullenly and begun to look for a living elsewhere.

The excursion start was a grand success in tbe eyes of Mr. Marge, wbo made with it his first trip in the capacity of an investigating investor. There were men on train to whom Marge had in other days scarcely dared to lift his eyes* in Wall street, yet now they treated him as an equal, not only socially but financially. Ho saw his own name in newspapers of cities through which the party passed his name had appeared in print before, but only among lists of guests at parties, or as usher or a bridegroom's best man uta wedding—not as a financier. It was gratifying, too, to havo presented to him some presidents of western banks who joined the party, and be named to these financiers as one of the most prominent investors in E. &W.

He saw more, too, of bis own country than ever bofore his ey03 and wits wero quick enough to make him enter heartily into the spirit of a new enterprise or two which some of tho E. & W. directors with the party wore projecting. It might retard a little his accumulation of E. & W. stock, but the difference would bo in hu favor in the end. To "get in on the ground floor" of some great enterprise had been his daiiiug idea for years he had hopod for it ns uu wfary ingly as for a rich wife now at last his desire was to bo granted the rich wife would ba easy enough to find after he himself became rich. Unaccustomed r.hough ho was to slumbering with a jolting bed under him, his dreams in the sleeping caif wore rosier than any he had known since the hair began to grow thin on tho top of his head..

But as the party began to look through th^ car windows for the bears of the Rocky| mountains tho bears of Wall street began to Indulge in pernicious activity. They all at-f taekea E. & W. with entirely new lots o| stories, which wero not denied rapidly enough for the good of tho stock, for some of thef more active managers of the E. & W.j clique were more than a thousand mile$

nracing

whole excursion party had taken stages a*.ew hours berore for a three days' trip tc see some of tho rich mining camps to whlob E. & W. had promised to build a branch. So answers being received, E. & W. began todroop

Tho excursion party returned from the mines in high spirits even the president of tho company declared he had no Idea that tho property was so rich. He predicted, and called all present to remember his words, that the Information ho would send east would boom" E. & W. at least ten points within ten days. Marge's heart simply danced within him if it was to be as the president predicted his own hoped for million by the beginning of the stagnant season would be nearer two. He smiled pityingly as Lucia's faco rose before him how strange that he bad over thought seriously of making that chit his wife, and being gratified for such dowry as tho iron trade might allow her father to give!

Tbe stages stopped at a mining village, twenty miles from the station, for dinner. The president said to the keeper Of the little hotel:

Is there any telegraph station hereF There's a telephone 'cross the road at the store ." said the proprietor. "It runs into tho bankin' house at Big Stony." "Big Stony echoed the president. "Why, we've done some business with that bank. Come, gentlemen, let's go across and find out how our baby is being taken care of,"

Several of the party went, Marge being among them. The president "rang up" the little bank, and bawled: "Got any New York quotation." todayf*

Yes," replied a thin, Car away voice. "How's the stock market?" I "Pretty comfortable, considering."

Any figures on E. & W.f" "El," was the only sound the president could evolve from the noise that followed. "Umph!" said he "what does that mean? •El' must be twelve*—hundred and twelve. Still rising, you see though why it should have gone

Again, as the answer came back, Marge dropped tbe receiver and acted as if about to fall. "WbatisitP Speak, cant you!" "Thirty-seven!" whispered Marge.

Thane was an outburst of angry exclamations, not unmixed with profanity. Then nearly all present looked at "the president inquiringly, but without receiving any attempt at an explanation, for tbe president was far the heaviest owner of E. & W. stocl|,and he looked as stony of face as if he had suddenly died but neglected to dose bis eyes.

Marge hastily sought the outer air it seemed to him he would lose his reason if he did not get away from that awful telephone. Thirty-seven! he knew what that meant his margin might have saved his own stock had tbe drop been to a little below par, but it had tumbled more than half a hundred points, so of course his brokers had closed the account when the margin was exhausted, and Marge, who a fortnight before had counted himself worth nearly a million dollars (Wall street millions}, was now simply without a penny to his credit in Wall stroet or anywhere else what money & chanced to have in his pocket was all he could hope to call his own until the first of the next month, when the occupants of his tenement houses would pay their rent.

It was awful it was unendurable he longed to scream, to rave, to tear his hair. He mentally cursed the bears, the brokers, the directors, and every ono else but himself. He heard some of bin companions in the store bawling messages through the telephone, to be wired to New York these were veterans, who assumed from past experience that a partial recovery would follow and that they would partly recoup their losses. But what could he do? There was not on earth a person whom be could ask, by telegraph, for the few hundred dofiars necessary to a small speculation on the ruins. lie heard tbo outburst of incredulity, followed by rage, as the passengers who had remained at the little hotel received the unexpected news, which now seemed to him to be days old. Then he began to suspect every body, even the crushed president and director*. What could bo easier, Marge said to himself, than for these shrewd fellows to unload quietly before they left New York, and theu get out of reach so that they could not render any support in case of a break? He bad heard of such things before. It certainly was suspicious that tho crash should have come tbe very day after they got away from the telegraph wires. Likely enough they now. through their brokers, were quietly .buying up all the stock that was being offered, to "peg it up," little by little, to where it had been. Tho mere suspicion made him want to tear them limb from limb, to orgauize a lynching party, after the fashion of the territory they were in, and get revenge, if not justice.

It was rather a dismal party that returned to New York from the trip ovor tho E. & W. The president, fearing indignant western investors, and still more the newspaper reporters, whom he knew would lio in wait for him until they found him, quietly abandoned the traiu before reaching Chicago, and went eastward by some other route. A few of tho moro hardened operators began to encourage each other by tiling of other breaks that had been tho making of the men they first ruined, but they dropped their consoling reminiscences when Marge approached them they had only contempt for a man who from his manner evidently was sn rorup'etely "cleaned out" as to bo unable to start again, sven in a small way. Tho majority, howsver, seetned as badly off as himself. Some ot them were so depressed that when tho stock of cigars provided especially for the excursion was exhausted thoy actually bought

for hundreds of miles. This, then, was the end of Marge's dream of wealth! Occasionally, in other days, he had lost small sums in Wall street, but only ho and his broker knew of it no one ever

Terrible Puniilirtcnt* in Persia. When a woman tomtits tbo smallest offense she is not pnt in a lockup, for there are neither lockups nor prisons in Persia, but in one of those huge stables with which the country is plentifully besprinkled. After she has been in the stable for four or five days she is brought before the governor of the villages who looks at her from his window and passes judgment.

These governors are put in charge of the villages by the shah, and within his own province each governor is absolutely despotic, The offending woman is sometimes merely stood in the corner of the governor's court, given perhaps TOO lashes, made to pay a fine and sent borne. If her offense is not of the smallest sort, but still petty, a different punishment is imposed. She is hung up in a bag, into which is also put a cat and a dog. The governor's officers then belabor the hag, the occupants of which cannot be said to dwell together in unity.

A worse punishment is to shave a woman's head, blacken her face and give her a ride about the town on an ox, or some other equally agreeable animal. In cases where still harsher punishment is deemed necessary the offender is put in a sort of a tower which she almost fills. The space between her and the walls is filled with lime, and when all is ready water is {toured in. After ten minutes blood will spurt from tho eyes and nostrils of the victim, who is often kep£ in the tower for weeks. All these punishments are incurred by offenses by uo means grave.—Interview in Milwaukee Sentinel.

W* may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame. "—{Civil Her vice Gaaette.
