l^ort time—but this must be whispered

tc'i^y—my intense longing to see my Jack again, and to tell him of adventures, good and bad, since he ^kissed me good-bye the morning before.

I am painfully aware that the conduct of the correct and''conventional young lady would have been

widely

different

from mine on this occasion. She—the lid correct and conventional young Ikdy aforesaid—would have been greatly mdalized and horrified at the idea of -sitting at table with a "conspirator," -»nd would have sternly insisted on having her meals served in solitary state, ancontaminated by the conspirator's presence. Or, if compelled to endure his ^'.company, would have preserved a dis

creet and dignified silence, which silence -and reserve she would have religiously kept up during the whole time of her en forced detention on the boat, and would If'li'&ve insisted, when leaving the virginal seclusion of her cabin for a short oonsti|l tutional on deck, on a proper distance I- between the conspirator and herself ben, 4ng rigidly and uncompromisingly ob served. This would have been the conventional young iadj^jjLjCQpduct, and it was, no doubt, what in^»"l!^gj3irator expected wpuld be warned me that it woul

I my piece of mind to ask no quesubhs But I am*c^^tionventional young lady, far from it, $nd if my readers have not discovered that fact for themselves by now it really is not my fault. I nm not above owning that I enjoyed Philip

Oalder's society, conspirator though he might be, and undoubtedly was. His personality both fascinated and interested me—all the more that as the day wore on, and we got to know each other better, his first somewhat overbearing and dis agreeably patronizing manner was completely thrown aside—perhaps, who I knows—just for the reason that I was not the conventional young lndy he had expected to find. However that may be, that long day on the house boat is one to which I shall always look back with a sense of pleasure and a lingering feeling of regret.

After dinner we adjourned once more to the seats under the awning, where Galder instructed me into the mysteries of trout fishing. And although truth compels me to admit that I did not catch any fish, still it was pleasant to sit there, lazily holding the rod, aud listening to my companion's deep voice while he talked. His isolated life—isolated, that is to say, from a society point of view, and trom the companionship of equals—had made .him a great reader, as was natural, and although I do not pretend to a like erudition, still 1 found we had many kindred tastes in literary matters. Thus we idled the hours away in desultory talk, all revolu tionary subjects being strictly tabooed, and I was quite astonished at the flightof time when Norah came out to us, carrying the tea tray, which she deposited by my side.

In the gloaming CUIder proposed, a walk, and be unfastened a small boat in which he rowed us to shore. I then for the first time perceived that we were in the large, and apparently deserted groundB of a private park, the pailings surrounding which, when we got some distance from the water, I could plainly see in the distance. This fact Accounted of course for the silence all around, and our solitariness, though how it cam»about that Calder was allowed to remain on the lake undisturbed by anyone, even the gamekeepers,—to say nothing of the owner of the property—I could not understand possibly, though, he had a friend at court."

After sauntering about for some time under the trees we retraced our steps, and were met on the banks of the lake by a man, who handed some letters to my companion. M.' "I have been expecting you all day," the latter remarked. "What has made you so late?" "They said it was no good writing when there was nothing to say," was the reply. "So I bad to wait until I nearly misled the last train out. And now 1 shall have to trudge it back, thanks to them." zJ- v? 'j

Calder frowned and shook his head. S "Fools that they are, to be so dilatory," he muttered to himself. "They will ruin everything if this &oes on much longer."

My letter was transferred from Calder's pocket to that of the messenger, with orders to the latter to post it as soon as he reached town. Then we returned on

board our boat. After supper Calder read his letters, which did not aflord him any particular amount of pleasure, to judke by bis expression. Impatiently abridging his shoulders, and muttering

indistinctly under his -breath, he suddenly tore his correspondence into shreds

And

tossed it into the lake.

'Copie," he said to me, "let us pnt $£business for a while, and enjoy the lainder of this lovely evening tother. Who kaows if we shall have .iuch another to-morrow has not comelet us rejoice in to-day while it is ours."

So we sat in the moonlight and talked very late, enjoying the cool breezes and the wonderful tints in water and sky. At last I reluctantly rose and held out my hand to say good-night. "Good-night," be echoed, looking at me with a gaze half mournful, half glad. "Thank you for one of the pleasantes days of my life. You can little guess what it has been to a solitary man like me, for whom the joys of home, and the love of wife and child are—perhaps for ever—denied." pIt had been a pleasant day, I owned to myself, little as I could have anticipated it on awakening that morning.

SELINA'S REVENGE:

BY J. H. CONNELL

[Copyright, 1896, by American Press Association.l In the dusk of an early Deoember day Dick Beardsley dismounted at tho door of Uncle Job Hauser's store, whioh, with its adjuncts of tavern and ferry, was one of

the most important places—outside real towns—on the White river, and known all over southern Indiana simply as "Hauser's." Responding to the questions put by genial Uncle Job, he said that he was on his way to Bloomington, "on court business," but would not cross the river until the morrow. "That'll be safest, I reckon," replied the landlord. "They've been orossin on the ice since yesterday mornin, but it's sort o' risky yet. 'Tain't makin any now, but if the wind gets up an a leetle colder may stiffen considerable by mornin. Can't expect it to hold your critter, though." "Don't need to. I'll leave him here and hire another over afc Arney's." "Yes, you can do that.

Won't'you

o'oine

in an take suthin?" And the hostler led Dick's horse to the stable, and the two men entered the store, a long, low room, with a bar at one end and a shoebox, to hold the United States mails, at the other, the intermediate spaoe containing a wondrously diversified stock of miscellaneous goods. Presently supper" was announced, and they went for it to another building, back of the store, but,joined to it (jueerly through overlapping corners. Therje were a number of buildings in "Hauler's,' each of which had the air of being an annex to all the others, and the way through them had quite a labyrinthine effect upon a stranger. -4'

Mesopotamia—coinnionly called "Mes," for short—a black girl, fat, pert and thoughtless as a hen—waited on the table. In a moment's leisure, while she was in the kitchen, she said to Selina Hauser, Uncle Job's daughter, "De gemman dat hi'ed me dem two munfs in Tarry Hut is in da eatin. He's mos' de fines' lookin man eber I see, an a might big lawyah, dey say. Lor! How he's wife' do dress up! H'm'm'm! An dey got de pootiest baby I eber see."

With-a girl's natural curiosity to see one vaunted^as a fine looking man, Selina entered the short passageway leading from the kitchen to the dining room and looked into the latter, through the augur hole bored in the door to enable observation. Of the dozen or more men at the,table she saw only one, and though his back was toward jjier she knew him. His curly black hair, soft white hand gesticulating much and mellifluous voice that seemed to go on-steadily by itself, whether he was eating or not, established his identity to her perfectly. But he could not have been the man/

Turning to Mes, who stood at her elbow, she asked in a tone of bewildered surprise, '^You didn't mean Mr. Beardsley, did you?" "Yes, miss, dat's him dat's his name."

Summoned by a clattering spoon and cup, the waitress darted into the dining room to supply somebody's demand for more coffee. Selina leaned against the wall to support herself and grew white to the lips.

4'Selina,"

cried her mother from the

^replace, "what's on 'a'th are you peekin thar for? Them minces must be het up by this time. Get 'era up and send 'em in afore they're burned to a coal."

The girl resumed her culinary duties, working mechanically, almost unconsciously, with a man's face in her mind's eye all the time—a handsome, impudent, sensual looking face.

As the mon at the table got through eating they went out, stopping to light pipes at the door, until only the landlord and Dick were loft at tho table. Presently Uncle Job was called, and Dick sat alone, making up for the time ho had lost in talking. Mes was busy carrying armfuls of dishes to tho kitchen. "Mes," Selina whispered to her as she passed, "ask him how his wife and child arc. Stand on the far side of the table, so that ho'll speak up and I can hear what he says."

At tho flrste opportunity, when by some excessive clatter she had caught his attention, Mes asked him, with a giggle, "Don't you know me, Mistah Bea'dsley?"

He started, glanced nervously around and with an" air of gratified surprise exclaimed, "Why, I declare it's Mesopotamia!" "Yes, sah, it's me. I know'd you de minit I seed you, sah. Nobody oan't done fo'get you, sab. How's Missus Bea'dsley an de baby?"

Again he looked cautiously about before replying iu a lowertone, "Oh, they're very well."

The girl behind the door staggered as if from a blow. "Mons'us fine chile, dat ah baby, Mistah Bea'dsley. Jos liko he's daddy." "Come around here, Mes."

She went to him, and be continued as he put a coin in her hand: "Here's a dollar from him for your remembering him, but you needn't say anything here about knowing my family. Don't let on you know me at all, and I'll bring you a nioe dress pattern from Bloomington for your Christmas." "You's pow'ful good, Mistah Bea'dsley. I won't say nufllti to nobody." But in the kitchen she whispered, with an excited giggle, to Selina, "He dotie gub me a dollah t« keep my inouf shet!" "I heard him." tho girl replied, turning With a haggard white face to her work.

A oouple W hoars later Selina drew a heavy shawl o\er her head, slipped out and wont to a giant sycamore tree—the one to which the guide lino of the ferry scow was made fast—near the edge of the bluff clay bank, here some 80 feet above

she river. There, as she had oxpeoted,.8he found Dlok Beardsley waiting for her. "Darling," he oxclaimcd, "how long fou've boon coming I If love hadn't kept me warm, I'd htivo frozen." He attemptad to embrace her, but she eluded him and aslcetl. in a voico low, but! vibrant with Intense foeling, "Ho\V aro yqur wife ^nd aWlld in "Torre Haute?" "D— that niggorl" he muttered beiween his teeth, but, foroing an uneasy laugh, replied: "I suppose there's no use denying, since you know. I loved you so much, Solina, I oouldn't,bring myself to tell you before, and you must see I couldn't help it that I had tho misfortune to be married before I fell in love with you. If I'd* knownv-you first, of oourse it would have boon you I would hesfv-married." "But, you iasJpM^j^^o be your wife.

You promi8^yLVT^.^^QQ before"—*

1Soiiiethfe5r+"'

His rapid and seemingly earnest speech bewildered her, and half meditatively she replied, "But you must have told her, too, once that you loved her.'' "Loved liorl Nol Not at all. But/ she was well off, and I"— "I didn't say you loved her. I said you told her so." "Woll, perhaps. I may have done so. You see, I'm perfeotly frank with you. A* man, you knaw, is expected to say something of the sort, and I may even have thought I did then. But that was before I met you and learned what real love is." "Lovel You! You know no more of love than a hog does of the colors of the flowers he tramples on. You love nobody but yourself. I know you noy for what you are. And I loved you so and trusted you! God help me! What do you suppose my father would do if I were to tell him?"

He trembled with fear and exclaimed anxiously: "You wouldn't do that, You oouldn't be so foolish! Think how. it would disgrace yourself. Nobody need ever know anything!''— "I know, and that's worse than all the rest of the world knowing." "Come, Selina, it's too cold out here on the bluff to talk over a thing of this sort. Come to my room—the corner one —when all gets quiet, and I'm sure we'll come to a better understanding^ You will, won't you, darliAg?" "No, I will not. I never want to hear or see you again." "You feel that way now, but you take things too seriously, iny dear. You will think better of it in themorning. I can't help the way I'm fixed now, but I swear that if anything ever happens that will enable us to

marry

She turned away from him and walked toward the house. He followed close, pleading: "Bufr say you'll forgive me, dear. Won't you? You know I could not help loving you." "That lie disgusts me No I'll not forgive you. I never will. Take heed of what I say. If I see you at breakfast, I shall tell my father all, and he'll shoot you like a dog, as you are."

She entered tho kitchen and shut the. door. Her mother and Mes had gone to bed, and the fire was smothered with ashes for the night. The only light was a tiny flame spurting from the end of one protruding stick. Long she sat staring at it, but sooing only before her a limitless gulf of.disillusion, shame and woe. Then a paroxysm of violent weeping overbame her. She felt that she was going mad. Suddenly she sprang up, and while the tears still rolled down her cheeks strode across tho room to tho salt barrel, filled her apron from it, and flinging the shawl upon her rushed out.

Thoro was no wind and the stillness of tho night was deathlike. Starlight and tho diffused whiteness reflected from the snow enabled hor to see dearly enough. Swiftly she ran down the sloping road cut through tho bluff to tho river and out upon tho ice, following a faint path trodden in the snow. In ,the center of the dlrenm whero the ice was thinnest over the deep water of tho channel she stopped and scattered the salt by handfuls broadcast. Then sho fled back to the house.

At 6 o'clock Dick Beardsley, after a bad night, set out upon his road, for he did not doubt tho girl would br as good as her word. He would go on to Bloomington, he said to himself, but return by way of Spencer and send for his horse from there. The snow crunched and creaked under his heavy tread as he strode down the slope, and when he went out on the ice it oracked and bent alarmingly. But he knew that young ice is tough, and soon, gaining confidence, walked rapidly, and laughed as ho thought of his narrow escape.

Midway across, where the ice had been eroded and rotted by the salt, he broke through. Once he rose to the surface, with' a despairing yell for help. Then his heavy clothing dragged him down, and he sank to rise no more.

A Woman Railroad Gontraotor.

:S-f-'

Mrs. Henry Oram, the* railroadf contractor of Boston, is conspicuous in business circles as an advanced business woman. She occupies tbe same office in Boston with her husband, who is a contractor also. Mrs. Cram, in speaking of her entrance into business, says: "Mr. Cram used to turn over to me all the business he did not want. I got tired of being a secondary consideration and branched out in business for myself, I'ni no longer a pensioner on his generosity but I am an independent worker. I often secure contracts upon which he has had his eye, and I do not disclose iny methods to him until I have proved a worthy competitor of his."

This enterprising woman has just been awarded tbe contract for supplying 400,000 tons of granite to the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. Mrs. Oram makes a speoialty of railroad work and aqueduots, hauling and grading. She is her own paymaster and "bosses" her gang of workmen in the usual way. This is the only instance on reoord where an undertaking of suoh magnitude and the filling of so unusual a contraot has ever been assigned to a woman. She asserts that "a business woman" and "a woman1 in business" are two distinot appellations.

Mrs Cram believes that no field of eimployment offers any obstacle which a woman may not overcome if she applies the same rules that a man would observe. "Brains, push and perseverance jibe the necessary equipment of men or yrmen who seek to be regarded in the light of business people. Some women think they must use all their charms and pretty whimsicalities in business. This is why many of them are not taken seriously by men with whom they come in contact."

Her chief admonition to women who want to make a success of a business calling is to lay these little affectations dpide "Common sense, well balanced minfl, directness and earnestness of manner are tho clever Woriian's best weapons in trade, and men are hot slow to recognize and appreciate them."

Victoria seems likely to follow New Zealand and South Australia in granting suffrage to women.

Mr.

Eohlsaat, is in many respects the greatest newspaper in the! United States. Its new owner and publisher is expending money with a liberal hand, and it is probably true that the payroll of The Times-Herald is to-day considerably larger than that of any other American newspaper. Mr. Kohlsaat has', -in fact, secured the services of nearly all the great newspaper writers of the day. Cornelius McAuliff, the. managing editor, is1 a man of pronounced ability. -Moses P. Handy, who is in charge of the editorial page, and who contributes, twice a week, some entertaining Matter over his own signature, "ill known from one end of the country to the other as a ready writer and brilliant journalist. Mrs. Margaret Sullivan, who is, regarded as one of the «besSt writers in this country, reitain's her position on the editorial staff. E. V. Smalley, who has recently returned to America from a lengthy sojourn in London, has been added to'the. corps of writers on Chicago's great^ newspaper. Frank j'L. Stanton, whose poems appeal so strongly to human heart has a column of verses twice oil the Editorial pagel and they arie being 'widely copied. Hamlin Garland has recently become a contributor to this paper. Lyman B. Glover, so long the accomplished dramatic editor of The Herald, now contributes well written articles on various topics over his own signature. Walter Wellman, the well known Washington correspondent, is retained In the same capacity. Elwyn A. Barron, who was for so many years the dramatic critic of the Inter Ocean, is now attached to The Times-Herald, with a residence in London, and is writing some very scholarly and delightful letters from the metropolis of Great Britain. Charles Lederer, who as a cartoonist has no superior,' has recently been sent to Europe by Mr. Kohlsaat, and some Illustrated articles from his pten are now appearing. Joseph Howard, Jr., a brilliant and caustic writer, long connected with the New York press, is now a regular contributor to The Times-Herald. George Alfred Townsend, the talented "Gath" of the Cincinnati Enquirer afid other papers, is writing for Mr. Kohlsaat, and has recently sent some, very delightful letters from eastern summer resorts. Mary Abbott is the literary critic, an^ also contributes entertainingly to the editorial page. Kate Field,' the brilliant, journalist and lecturer, has been engaged, and will shortly visit Hawaii under commission from the enter-. prising proprietor of this great Chicago newspaper. Other men and women of almpst equal t&iawri in the newspaper world have been secured fey 14r. Kohlsaat, and It Is undoubtedly true „that no other journal In this country has upon its staff so many brilliant, able and highpriced writers.
