A WEDDING PRESENT.

"Now for it," I said to myself as I undid the twiue binding my precious volumes together and prepared to ex amine them more carefully than 1 had had time to do since I unearthed them from the little, dark, secondhand book shop that afternoon. There was nothing remarkable atxmfc them no rare editions of well known classics, no long forgotten b6oks, valuable from their very obscurity, merely a few bound volumes of old magazines and a couple of the novels which had delighted me as a boy, aud which from old association were more precious in their original type and polished leather binding than in the spruce modern editions. Best of all was a copy of Dickens' "Master Humphrey's Clock," with the woodcuts that cannot now be reproduced.

When I bad gone more than half through tho second volume, I came upon a large sheet of thiu paper, covered with neat, cramped writing. I took it out and looked at it A moment's inupection showed me that it was a will, written throughout in the handwriting of the testator, Michael Darcy, and dated two years before. It left interest in tho farm of Carrignalea, with stock and implements, to tho testator's brother, Patrick Durcy, who was also named residuary legatee, while the sum of £3,000 in railway stock and other investments was bequeathed to "my late wife's niece, Amuttasia French." It was, as far as I could judge, aud I had had some experience in matters of the kind, properly executed, signed and witnessed.

It was odd to find an important document of this sort hidden away between tho leaves of a book. Had Patrick Darcy and Anastasia Ffronch been left with* ont their inheritance in consequence? 1 wondered. I would make some inquiries about the matter next day. It would be easy to find out all about Michael Darcy of Carrignalea. Meantime, the will could remain between the leaves of "Master Humphrey's Clock."

But the morrow found mo flying along by express train to the bedside cf my only sou, who had mot with a dangerous accident. And for many weeks I could think of nothing but him and of the best means of snatching him from the extended arms of death. Aud when, by God's irercy, be was once more as safe from those clutches ns any one of us can ever be, Michael Darcy, his will, heirs and executors, had faded out of my mind as completely as if they had never entered it, and the will was resting undi^turb^ iu its hiding plaoe aiftoug my bcoksl

Some 12 months later I went in a regular course of my practice to visit an old friend, who was suffering from an acute attack of pneumonia She was an elderly lady, living alone some two or three miles outsido the city. Her servants were faithful aud attached, but in the absence of relatives I thought it better to insist on the services of a trained nurse. As tho patient grew better and I bad time to notice less important details, I perceived that Sister Anna, besides being an excellent nurse, was a very attractive young woman. 8he had pretty brown hair with golden lights in it waving and rippling all over a well shaped, well set head her eyes were dark brown, and her complexion, though pale, clear and healthy looking. She was fairly tall and well built, with a look of strength and vitality pleasant to see. Her wee was low toned and pleasant, while her choice cf words and manner of speaking showed her to be an educated woman.

Late one October afternoon, after a hard day's work. I drove down to LisAllien to visit my patient, whom I had not seen for two or three days. "Where is the sister?'* I asked during a pause in the gossip with my old friend which succeeded our brief professional interview. "Look out of the window," was the reply.

I weal over to the deep bay window which formed oae end of the room, and looking across the long garden, stretching behind tile house, beheld Sister Anna, her prim cap laid aside, her pretty head showing above the soft gray shawl in which she had wrapped herself, and walking by her side a tall figure which I did uot at first recoguine. This was Laurcuce, Mrs. JPovrer's nephew. He was clerk in a bank and hojwA sorn be made manager of a country branch.

There was no doubt that this was the heiress of the will in my possession. The question was, Did the £8,000 exist, or had tho heir-at-law made away with it?

I took my leave as soon as I could. The first thing I did on reaching home was to take "Master Humphrey" from the bookshelf and make sure that the will was quite safe. Next morning 1 took it to my own solicitor, who assured me that it was a valid will, properly executed. In a few days he informed me that Patrick Durcy was a well to do man and a mark for a larger sum than tho one due to Anastasia Ffrench.

A day or two later, therefore, I presented myself again at Mrs. Power's. "I have brought you a wedding present, my dear," I said to Sister Anna, handing her the three volumes of "Master Humphrey." "Indeed, Dr. Moran," said Sister Anna, "I don't think anything could give me greater pleasure than this i* is just like the copy of 'Master Humphrey' we had at home. Why, I do beliesve it is the actual book. Here is the very pencil mark that poor uncle was so angry with me for making. Where did you pet this, Dr. Moran? Was it from Patr Darcy?" "I bought it, my dear, at a seoond-

cording to Sister Anna, "never to ache." "Come, Anna. Ton caimot know much about heartaches at any rate." "Indeed I had many a one the time of my uncles death," she answered. "I do not know what I should have done had I not been compelled to rouse myself and work." "Did your uncle know you would have to work?" asked Mrs. Power. "No he thought that he had provided for me. In fact, I am sure that he did so but the will could never be found, so everything went to his brother." "His brother? But why did not yon, his niqce, come in for your share?" "Don't you see, although I called him uncle, I was only his wife's niece, and in reality no relation whatever. My aunt was living when I first came to them, so long ago that I can scarcely remember it but she died soon after, and then my uncle and I took care of each other." "How did you employ yourself?" asked Mrs. Power. "Oh, I had the house to attend to, and the poultry yard, as well as trie garden. And then I used to read a good deal uncle had quite a collection of books. He had been bnying them all his life, chiefly secondhand ones. I believe some cf the books were valuable. There was an old copy of 'Master Humphrey's Clock,' with pictures in it, that used to delight me when I was a child pictures of Nell and Quilp and Dick Swiveller."

The words "his wife's niece" had somehow seemed familiar to me, but it was not until the allusion to "Master Humphrey's Clock "had supplied another link in the chain that there flashed into my mind the remembrance of t*ie will hidden in the old copy at home— Michael Darcy's will, with its bequest to "my wife's niece, Anastasia Ffrench." I could hardly keep the excitement out of my voice as link after link in the chain of evidence was supplied in answer to my questions. I found that her real name was Anastasia, now cut down to Anna Ffrench that her uncle's name was Michael Darcy, and his farm was known as Carrignalea. In reply to my query as to her reasons for believing that her uncle had made a will in her favor, she said: 'After my poor uncle got the paralytic 6troke of which he died he made several attempts to speak, and as far as we could understand his words were always about money and about having 'made it all right for Annie.' Besides, our old servant always declared that about a week before his illness he had called her and another woman, who was accidontaiily in the house, Into the sitting room and made them witness a paper which he said was a will. When they had finished signing, ho said, half to himself, 'Now my mind is at-rest about Annie.' "Why did he not get the will properly drawn up by a solicitor?" "He was fond of reading lawbooks and knew something about law himself. Ho had sometimes made wills for other people, and I never heard that there was anything wrong about them. "And the will could not be fouud?" "The will could not be found. We hunted everywhere for it in vain, and then Patrick Darcy said he did not believe i| .hod over existed and Jhat old Margaret Iiad invented the whole sfory. The other woman had left the neighborhood by that time. Patrick Darcy offered to give me some money, but I refused to take a gift from him. I knew one of the nurses in the sisterhood here at Marshport, She had been nursing a lady in our neighborhood the winter before, so I wrote to her, and she got me taken as a probationer. I was there for six mouths, and then I went to London to be trained. I intended to revolutionize the whole art of nursing, but now Laurence has spoiled all my plans."

Waist Hew.

Women who wear the fancy silk waists will tell you of missing hooks and eyes and frayed edges. There is a stitch always to be taken, and part of the furnishing of the summer room is a basket with all the silks for putting in the stitch in time. Any spreading basket big enough to hold a folded waist

answers the purpose. It should be ruffled with soft material like tulle, and if the ruffle is long enough to be folded across the waist to protect it from dust so much the better.

A dressmaker lays down these rules for mending a silk waist: Use ravelings when you can. Sew from the underside. Do not turn over edges, but darn flat and trust to careful pressing. If a bone begins to show through, do not mend, but cut off the bone an inch. If the silk we&ra off around the hooks eyes, move them along ever so hi tie. Make a virtue of wornout seams by applying black feather stitching, and remember that a silk waist is good as long as the upper parts of the sleeves remain. Plastron, choker, laoe cuffs and careful mending make anew waist for you. —Exchange.

Looking Backward.

It is almost incredible that barely 50 years ago Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell was being told by two eminent physicians of the day, both warm friends of hers, that she could get into no medical tyliege in propria persona "It is no use trying," said one, a Quaker "theemust disguise thyself as a man to gain entrance to the schools." The other went even further on the same lines, for. after suggesting the same idea, he promised to smuggle her into college and keep her secret for her. D~ Blackwell refused these moth ods, aii'iii-is probably as well that she did, for just about that time another woman, disguised as a man, took the entire medical conrse at a Paris school, passed her examinations with a splendid record, and then, at the last moment, her sex was discovered and her diploma was refused.—New York Times.

Veil Pins.

A great variety of veil pins are worn They consist of a bar with a chain hanging from it that holds a ball into which the point of the pin is caught when fastened. It is used to gather the top part of tho veil ajid to fix it on to (he nut. The pin is either straight or twisted, in plain oj chased gold, with additions of gems. It may be made in the shape of a sprig of flowers, a narrow leaf or a lizuid. The chain may be a light garland, etc.

Two jeweled bands are worn on the collar of a dress in away to look like tight necklaco broken in front and at the back, a handsome brooch being fastened in each of the twoempty spaces. Jewelers' Circular.

The Queen of Chnckswslls.

Mrs. Hendsh, known among the Colorado miners as tho "queen of Chuckawalla," has earned over $ 1,000,000 by her own efforts. She lives in the Chuckawalla mountains, 45 miles northeast of Sulton, Cola She is her own geologist, assayer, inspector and superintendent sells the ore herself and attends to all the minor details of the business. Her chief pride is her Graphite shaft, which yields steadily $125 to $ 100 per ton.

Mrs. Hendsh has a beautiful home at Riverside, Cul., aud is a woman of charm and culture. In her home she wears the most beautiful, dainty gowns, and when in her mines she dons the proper apparel for such work.—Exchange. sf

An Able Woman.

Mrs. Frances A. O. Ruhm, chairman of the domestic soience and salesroom committee of the woman's board of the Tennessee centennial, is a very able woman, one of much experience in philanthropic, literary, patriotic ana reform work. She is an excellent financier, and when she assumes such a place in an enterprise it means success. She and her coworkers have made a suooess of the Day home for working women's children. She is the Andrew Jackson of the Ladies' Hermitage association and has always been a stanch woman suffragist

TBRBE HAUTE SATtTBDAYlTVEJJ ING MAIL, AUGUST 15, 1896.

The finest river of British Quiana is the Essequibo, into which flow the magnificent waters of the Cuyuni and the Mazaruni, forming a confluence at Bartica point over four miles broad, the stream then widening out through its subsequent course of 60 miles into an estuary 20 miles from bank to bank. The Essequibo rises in the Acaroi mountains, 40 miles north of the equator, and tears a sinuous way through and down the terraced surface for a distance of over 600 miles. It is not navigable for steamers much beyond Bartica point, and the farther it is explored the higher, grander, more beautiful and more dangerous become the rapids.

One of its tributaries, the Potaro, which joins it about 150 miles from the coast, has a waterfall surpassing Niagara in height. This is the Kaieteur fall (the Old M&i's fall, to translate the Indian name), which was discovered by Mr. Brown, who made a geological survey for the government a quarter of a century ago. At this point the Potaro falls over a sandstone tableland precipitously for 741 feet, and then over a sloping cataract of 81 feet into a great rocky basin. In flood time the width of the fall is about 370 feet and in the dry season 240 feet or less. "If," says Mr. Thurn, "the whole valley of the Potaro is fairyland, then the Kaieteur ravine is the very penetralia of fairyland."— MacMillan's Magazine.

Lavinis Fenton as Polly.

Lavinia Penton, who had undertaken the character of Polly in the "Beggar.'" Opera" for the remuneration of lo ahil* lings per week, suddenly fouud herscl the most celebrated person in London. Her portraits were sold everywhere, her opera oostumes copied by fashionable ladies. When she went nightly to anC from the theater, a bodyguard of strong friends had to be formed to escort her, lest the fair damsel should be carrier, off by one of her many importunate a mirers. Lavinia's musical success endeti with the run of the opera—after whie' she retired from the stage—but not .r* the good fortune it had wo^^t her The Duke of Bolton was so fascinateo by her charms as the saucy Polly that he made her his duchess after the death of his wife, from whom be had long been separated, whereby Lavinia be came the first of the actresses connecter: by marriage with English nobility.— Cornhill Magazine. „. ...

Pebblelike Besot,

A curious case of "mimicry" has been noticed on the coast near Manilla, in the Philippine islands. The seeds of a bean fall among quartz pebbles, and so closely resemble them in shape, size, color, luster, hardness and stratification as to be distinguishable from them only by a very close examination. Tho beans range from a third of an inoh to an inch in size, and vary greatly in shape also, some resembling well rounded beach pebbles and others mimic pebbles that have been broken across. The oolor varies from dark to light drab, some with a greenish tinge, while others resemble pebbles of chalcedony or crystallized quartz. Nearly all show a series of dark bands, suggestive of stratification. All are hard, and olink when shaken together. —-Rochester Democrat and Chronicle,

Many substitutes for the spiking hatpin are offered from time to time, but none long supersedes these useful if somewhat dangerous articles. A late claimant for popularity is what may be described as a double tined hairpin attached by apiece of elastic to a clamp pin, which in turn is fastened to the hat In theory this fastener is excellent and in practice it holds the hat on, but it also disarranges the coiffure to a degree that is likely to interfere with its popularity.

Near Ardenloe, Scotland, there is a wonderful advertisement, made of flower beds. The beds are each a gigantic letter 40 feet in length, the whole forming the words "Glasgow News."
