A SAFE ATTACHMENT.

^Thc door of many a maiden's heart Is Blfshtiy fastened, HI defended, whispered word, a blush. & start,

The key has tai-ned, the siege is ended. -Bat she I worship will bat mock At thoughts of such sweet perturbation. Her heart has got a patent lock,

And no one knows the combination. Ah, if the word be "love," my dear. Which opens all your heart's fair treasure, I'll strive for entrance withont fear,

For my devotion knows no measure. Butif it opes to "money" I Can never even dare to try It. Your dear perfection comes too high

For me to ever hope to bay it. —S. St. G. Lawrence In Life.

IftrHTLY'S SUCCESS.

When I went into the club the other night, I found Lightly turning over the pages of the Christmas number of All the World. His face would have afforded a line study for a picture of contentment, and my first thought waft that ho must have an article or story in the magazine, for Lightly is something of a writer, and whenever he gets anything published— which is not very often—he bores us all for weeks afterward telling how it happened.

As soon as he caught sightof me ho beckoned me to his table, and I thought that I was in for at least a half hour's punishment. But it turned out for once that I was interested in his talk. "Have you seen it?" he asked, tapping the cover of the magazine and giving a little eager laugh as ho spoke, which confirmed my impression that he must lo in luck. m/

uNot"

I unswerod. "Have you any-

|7 thing in it?" "Anything?" ho almost shouted.

4,Why,

man, I wrote the wholo number!" At this I began to wonder If his brain— never too strong—had not suddenly given way. As you well know, All tho World is one of tho most conservative periodicals —as I will admit that I hnvo found to my own sorrow in tho past—and it was preposterous that it should make up a whole number, and a Christmas number at that, from tho work of one man. And it was clear to my mind that Lightly would not have been that ono man in any event.

While trying to think of something quieting to say I took tho magazine and glanced over the tablo of contents. It was ono of Lightly's fancies, which did him no good in a literary way, to have a dozen or more pen names. Housed theso indiscriminately, as tho humor moved him, and it happened that I know most of them. So you may judgo of my surpriso when I tell you that every poem, story, article ami essay in tho on tiro mngazino was signed by some one of tho many names that 1 knew ho used. Tho llrafc was a Christmas poem signed G. O. Lightly, then a Christmas story signed T. 8. Weaver. This, he had once explained to mo, stood for tla story weaver.

Then an articlo on ''Jerusalem—Nineteen Hundred Years Ago "Christinas— Past and Present,"-and tho usual run of I such material as editors liavo fallen into tho habit of serving up for tho holiday issue, None of tho topics wero now, nor, so far as I could discover in a hasty glance, were they treated with much brilliancy.

The signatures wero all composed upon tho same puerllo plan as tho ono I liavo given.

Poor nsumich of tho stuff probably was, I still could not believo that Lightly hud written it all, much less secured its publication in a single number of All the World. I turned to him for an explanation. "Draw up a chair," ho said, with what I thought an air of some condescension. "I can afford to fly high tonight, so lot us have a bird and a bottle quietly in this corner while I tell you all about it." ''Of course," he said as soon as wo were fairly settled, ''this Is all on tho quiet. I should not tell even you if you wero not one of my best friends and if I did not mean presently to ask a great favor of you. You know," ho continued, "how peoplo hnvo been talking about tho eelonco of hypnotism for months past?"

I nodded my assent, and ho went on with an uninterrupted flow of words. ''Well," ho said, "I ohanced some time ago to bo thrown in contact with an adept in tills art, or science, or whatever you are minded to call it, I recognized at once tho value that a knowledge of it might bo to mo in making fiction, and I asked tho fellow to give nio somo Insight into it. This ho did for a consideration and to such good purpose that I was soon able to pmetieo tho science to somo extent. I presently found that it was not difficult for me to gain a hypnotlo influence over any man of less robust physique than.myself, but I rarely attempted touso tho power. "When I finally did, it was wholly without premeditation, and it happened In this way: A few weeks ago—In fact, just as they wero making up tho Christmas numlvr—I happened Into thoofllcoof All tho World, and while there offered A1 deson this poem. Lightly put his finger on the printed page as ho spoke, but went on without pause:

Aldeson put me off with somo stock remark about being full of material, of having more than he could handle, and did not oven look at tho poem. This nettled me considerably, and it suddenly occurred to mo that Aldeson was a smaller man than myself, and that I ought to give him a good thrashing for his impudence. ''Then it camo to mo all at once that I could hypnotise him and make him accept my poem. I asked him to send his assistant away, as 1 wanted to speak to him privately. When wo wero alone, I at once began tho effort to make him subject to my will. In less tlmo than I am telling you I had him completely under my influence, and ho had accepted tho poem and promised it tho initial place in tho number. .. •Then tho thought camo to me to try my power a little further. Calling a messenger, I sent to my rooms for a bundle of manuscript and sorted out from it everything that would do for a Christmas number. You know,'? he added parenthetically, ''that 1 always keep a stock of material on hand ready for all needs and sctigona. I look these Christmas things up. one by one, and brought them to his attention, and he accepted each one and made a place for it in this holiday number. ""Then he called his assistant In and gave instructions for making up tho copy, and I took him away with meandgavts him a royal erood time for a week. When ho got back to tho office, It was too late to make any changes, and go you see the number has como oat with nothing but my work. And a veiy good number it 4*, too," ho concluded complacently. "'But what do you expect to gain by Itf" I asked. The story will oome out, and it will do you tto good, but quite the Kiteim" I •'You are all wrong," replied Lightly

,'°:hs

quietly. ''Tho story will not come qufc. You can see that Aldeson must be the last man to tell it. And he could have no object in doing so, especially as the number has already made such a good impression."

With that he took from bis pocket copies of a half dozen leading papers and reviews and showed me comments that were not only favorable, but flattering In the extreme. ''Paid for?" said J, not a little disgusted with the whole business and particularly at being made a confidant of. "Yes," he laughed, ''but it goes just the same. And now," he added, with a slight show of hesitancy, "for the other matter." "Go ahead." I answered not very graciously. considering that I was dining with him. "I might, as well hear, it.ail now." Ijy "You asked me what I expected to gain by it. You know Lottie Underwood." I started at the name, but nodded with what composure I could command. "That dear girl," said Lightly, ''has promised to marry mo as soon as I have won a place in literature—In fact, as soon as I have an established standing with any of the leading magazines. This settles that point." To emphasize his meaning he tapped All the World triumphantly. "But surely," I said, ''you would not consider this fair. You would not be willing that she should know" "All's fair in love, my boy. And want you to bo my best man."

I managed to get off with some half promise, and then pleading an engage ment I got out of the club as quickly as possible and -uto a cab and gave the driver tho number of Lett)' Underwood's house.

The dear girl—I could have choked Lightly for using the words they were in my heart whenever I thought of her, which was all tho time—was at home and received me with her usual sweet welcome. But I held lier at arm's length, and with all the sternness that I could commai.d exclaimed: "Letitia, you are a wretched triflerl Give me back my heart!" "What is tho matter with my poor boy now?" fiho cooed softly. "Matter enough. You have promised to marry Lightly." "Yes," she laughed, ''I remember. Hc proposed to mo six months ago. I told him I would when ho had made a success" "Your exact words," I said severely, "were, 'When you liavo a standing with any of tho leading magazines.' "Samo thing," she answered airily. "He will never achieve cither. It was my way of letting him down easily."

Letitia, listen to me," I said. "Lightly has written tho entiro Christmas number of All tho World."

At this Letty looked at mo ly"Dick," eho said, "where have you been dining?" "No, it is not that," I protested. "I dined at the club, and Lightly told me himself, and ho showed mo tho magazine and asked mo to bo Ills best man, and wo had only one bottle between us." "Well, this Is a scrape!" sho exclaimed ruefully. "I suppose I will have to keep my promise and marry him." "And what about your promise to mo?" I asked sarcastically. "That was indefinite," she answered thoughtfully. "Thcro was never any tlmo sot for that, so I shall have to marry him now, and if ho should dio or anything happen I could marry you afterward." "Thanks," I replied dryly, ''but that programme does not suit mo. Now let mo plan a little. You havo boen a willful creature, never ready tonamo tho day, and seo the troublo you havo got Into! I suppose. Lightly will bo hero bright and early tomorrow to marry you. Now, I propose to marry you myself tomorrow at noon."

At this her eyes opened in wide protest. "Yos," 1 continued, "I shall send a note to Lightly, tolling- him of your change of plans, and asking him to be my best man." "But, Dick, this is so sudden. What shall wo live on?" "Lovo, you practical girl," I cried, catching lier in my arms. "Besides the publishers of All the World today offered mo tho editorship of tho magazine, vice Aldeson, resigned. I supposo his going out has somo connection with this business of Llghtly's. I am sorry for him, but I might as well havo the place as another.'' "And then you con print anything of your own that you want to, can't you, dear? I am so glad that you won't have to bo rejected any more." "Not oven by you, sweetheart?" "Not even by me—any moro."

:••••.»

Do you want tho finis? W wero married on the morrow, and Letty was as pretty a brido as over was seen—as pretty as though she had been given months instead of hours for making ready. But on second thought I am not suro that sho had not been making ready all tho tlmo that 1 had been vainly asking her to name the day. I oonfess that I do not understand tho sex.

Thero was but ono thing to cloud our happiness. Lightly refused to be best man or oven to come to tho wedding. And ho has never offered any further contributions t« All the World.

Perhaps this Is because I am not, like Aldeson, "of a less robust pliysiquo" than himseli— San Francisco Argonaut.

After Jan. 1, 1895, no moro days of grace will be allowed in New York eta to on notes, drafts, checks, acceptances, bills of exchange, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness made, drawn or accepted by any person or corporation, and no grace, according to*the custom of merchants, will be allowed after that day unless there is a stipulation to tho contrary.

WAR'S NEW TERRORS.

Devices For Slaughter That Are Almost Be^ood Imagination's Grasp*^'

Indications are that when two European armies eventually meet on the field, if the war talk ever resolves itself into actual conflict, a good many men will faint away in terror of their adversaries. The "inventions'' which have been brought out lately in France, Germany and Austria, and which have been purchased by the governments of those countries, are innumerable, and every one of them is designed to slaughter human life at a rate that appals the imagination. The most intense and theatric secrecy is maintained concerning all these inventions, and only a few general facts regarding them have been made public. The German army, it is nndersfog^, is apned with rifles which will send "a bullet through four men standing one behind fhe^other at a distance of 2% miles from-the nfie. Austria has a machine gun w^ich shoots several thousand bullets a minute, which is operated by steam and controlled by a single gentleman with a waxed mustache and a monocle in his left eye, who lightly turns a crank. At least this is the condition of things according to the latest illustrated journals at hand. The man with the eyeglass can turn tho crank fast enough to sweep 30,000 or 40,000 men into eternity during tho luncheon hour.

Incidentally a German tailor has invented a coat that makes the wearer absolutely indifferent to bullets at any range, and tho Italians have machines for throwing very small and almost invisible torpedoes a distance of nearly a quarter of a mile. Tho torpedoes describe a parabola in the air, drop into the camp of the enemy and explode with force enough to kill 100 or more soldiers if the/happen to bo in the vicinity. Great numbers of them can be thrown at a time, and a pleasing ai^i cheerful feature of it is that thore arc no disagreeable odors nor any smoke whatever when the explosion occurs.

M. Turpin of France is the latest hero in this direction. Ho has invented something which is so altogether awful that the taxpayers have requested the government to give M. Turpin a great amount of money, so that he will not turn his machine over to the Germans. This machine is operated by electricity, and, according to its inventor, it is of so terrible a nature that it will do away with all fortifications throughout the civilized world. This is merely a detail of the execution which this machine is expected to accomplish. Forts will bo of^no use, because M. Turpin's machines would rend them all into atoms, and at a distance of several miles a man can mow down the enemy at the rate of 20,000 at an engagement. The facts are inspiring, but there is a lack of detail about them which is in accordance with much of tho literature which has lately been put forth by the various Mun chausens among the war officers of Eu rope. The Turpin invention so far out strips everything else, according to tho critics of modern warfare, that it will insure universal peace. One machine alone is enough to devastate a country. —Now, York Sun.

A BIG TUMBLE IN PRICE.

How the Cost of Equipping an Electric Car Has Fallen In Six Years. Take the electric railway field, for instance, which is undoubtedly the branch of electrical work possessing the greatest possibilities for rapid commercial development, and consequently offers a constantly growing market for electrical manufactures. Six years ago the price for a complete equipment for a trolley car, including two motors, was about $4,600. This price held for a year and a half and then droppe^ to $3,850, $8,500 and $8,800, until two years ago it was about $2,850. One year ago $2,000 was the price of the same equipment, greatly improved in ^pality and efficiency, while today the average price is between $1,000 and $1,200. We havo been told of an electrio railway manager who desired quite recently to purchase an equipment for a single car. He wrote to seven manufacturing companies and immediatelly was called upon by seven salesmen, all of whom had paid traveling expenses, to try for the order. The prices quoted ranged from $1,500 to $640. The manager bought the $640 apparatus.

Hero we have a decrease in actual soiling prices from $4,500 in 1888, to $640 in 1894, a period of six years. In 1888 there were seven electrio railways in tho United States. In January, 1890, there were 163 railways in operation and in process of construction. In January, 1891, this number had grown to 281, while today there are probably over 500 cities in the United States equipped with electrio roads, many of them of great mileage.—-Electrical Be* view.

A No»cl Pack of Curds.

A pack of cards were displayed for sale in a certain window awhile ago which v.ere really very curious and innesting. The kings and queens were veritable personages, as were the knaves, who figured as crown princes of modern history. Tho queens of Spain, Italy Mid England made three of the face cards, while there was a pretty compliment to our own "reigning sovereign" in mak ing Mrs. Cleveland queen of hearts. Wilhelm, Humbert, the czar and the little boy in Spain ware the four rulers masculine, and the czarowitz, the crown prince of Germany, with his flaxen head, he of Italy said the Prince of Wales made up tho rest.—Philadelphia Press.

MEANING OF A REBUKE.

The Aldermen and a Daily Paper of Chicago Condemn Mr. Pullman. It need not be assumed that the 62 aldermen who unanimously passed the order directing the mayor to issue "an appeal to the people of the city of Chicago for the assistance" of the Pullman strikers were impelled to that action by humane regard for the sufferings of the strikers or an ethical regard for the equities of their case. No such hypothesis is necessary. Doubtless some of the aldermen took this high ground, but they may or may not have been a majority. It matters not at all which.

But it should be remarked that your Chicago alderman is the keenest ob server of public opinion and the shrewdest judge of its trend, which means that when the 62 aldermen who were present in council Monday nigiit unanimpqgiy and \yithout regard to party voted this implied rebuke to George M. Pullman they were convinced that they spoke the sentiments of a large majority of the population of Chicago that they knew the people of this community condemned Pullman and indorsed the strike and the strikers,

And tho aldermen wero entirely"correct.—Chicago Times.

Kitty's Bay Off.

^Kitfcy looked ill. She leaned timidly on tlio edge of the desk, while her eyes fluttered nervously as she made this request: ''Mr. Perkins, I'm not well and would like to go home early. And—and—I've hod financed reverses this week. Will you givo moan order on the bookkeeper for part of my week's salary?" "Certainly, Miss Kitty, certainlyi" her employer answered promptly and kindly. "Go honie at once, and you may have all your money if you want it." "No, thank you," she murmured plaintively ''a couple of dollars will do."

An hour later this mournful little typewriter and another girl wero speeding gayly into good seats at a matinee. Sho wore her gala day gown and carried a red fan and a box of candy. $4* 'How did you get off, Kit? aSkod the other girl. "Oh," tittered Kitty, "I asked to go homo in a-wliole-family-down-sick-with-the-measles kind of a tone, and I told him I had had financial reverses and neoded some money!" "You horrid little story teller," said the girl, whom Kitty was treating to the matinee. ''No such thing!" maintained Kitty. "I'm always feeble when I'm out of money, and it is a financial reverse not to have any, isn't it?"—New York World.
