I had been three months at Tide nail. It sounds like a grand place, but it wusn't grand at all only a ruinous old brick house standing behind a row of scraggy poplar trees on a dreary stretch of seashore, where the rocks broke the tide into white sheets of foam when it thundered up twice a day, and the very shrubs in the garden were sprinkled with salt spray when the wind camo from the cast. Ilere, all alone, except for a deaf old man who came to work in the garden aud bring coal and water, lived Mrs. Cadgett, my father's cousin, and hither I had been sent to take care of her when sho was stricken down with rheumatic fevor. Jenny, my elder sinter, had re fused to leave New York. "Just when I'm getting along so nicely in my art school," said she; and Georgiana had laughed at the idea. "Me shut myself up at Tide Hall like a clam in its shell I Not while the Euterpe sociables aro go- ing on!" And my father and mother had decided that Dora must go. Dora was generally the victim of the family. I A I A. 1.1 a ll. 1 A TA anu 1,11 wa8 u""uk lor " out lor "ora ..And besi(ioa i couid hear my moth- er wuisper to my tamer, "it win be a great thing to get her out of Jack's way for tho present. She thought I didn t hear, but I did. foor Jacln lie was, lu his way, as much of a victim as I was. It really wasn't Jack's fault that the officers of the bank whero he was employed declared that ho had no financial talent. Nothing seemed to go right with Jack. My father called him a rolling stone who would gather no moss. My mother said he was thoroughly inefficient. Jenny and Georgy laughed at him, and wondered what Dora could possibly see in him. But I liked him, and I couldn't help it. So when Mrs. Cadgett s summons came I thought I might as well be unhappy at Tide Hall as on Twenty-seventh street. " I hud plenty to do. All the housework, except what old Owen could do, fell to my share, anu my old relative required endless waiting on. But then, when she was in her more genial moods, she would tell me the history of her old tapestries and antique furniture, show me her jewel casket, and even permit me to clasp around my neck a certain old necklace, stained purple with the glow of ame thysts, and outlined around with tiny white diamonds. "It has been in the Cadgett family for a hundred aud titty years," said she. "My husband's niece, Jemima Cadgott, expects to inherit it, but it is mine to leave to whom I please. And though Jemima wants my jewels she Isn't will ing to come here and live with iner Nor was the amethyst necklace all of the Cadgett jewels. There was a soli taire diamond, as largo as a cherry stone, set in a ring. There was an odd cameo brooch and a pair of sleeve buttons of pigeons blood rubies, and a quaint little dagger with its hilt incrusted in small brilliiuits. I was never tired of looking at these trinkets. "Yes, child, yes, they ro pretty enough," Mrs. Cadgett had said, "but what uso are tbey to an old woman like me? I sometimes think it isn't safe for me to keep them here in this solitary place, and only two women in tho house. Only, to be . sure, nobody knows of them!" Are they very valuable, Aunt Cad- getlT' asked I, for by that name she had bidden iuo to call her. "They're worth a thousand dollars at the very feast, " said she. So that ot.e stormy night when a mas culine figure emerged out of the flying spray and deepening twilight close to the back door, I gave a great start. Owen liod trudged to his home and I was all alone, amusing myself, as I often did on the sly, by looking at AuntCodg ett's ornAmenU and trying their effect on myself before tbe hall mirror, with a strange breath lefts sense tho while of trenagreewing tome unwritten law, for the old lady nerer knew but that they were safely locked in her chiffonier, of which I kept th key. Of course, it was wrong, twt I was only 17, and I led such i a m-jitarj Lfls. I i 11 j-vreiM oagCT Rue through , jii dagger and the amethyst neck my Uir, and the necklace clasped around .

It Is lonely," said Jack. "I thought I never should And it, and I don't know now bow I'm ever to get back to the mainland. "alow came you hero, JackH I asked. "I wanted to see you, Dora, to tell you good-by. Those beastly bank people have turned me out, and I m going to seek my fortuner "Where, Jackr I questioned. "Heaven only knows, I don't. And, liko two silly children that we were, we looked at each other and burst out laughing, I still In the glitter of Aunt Cadgott' Jewels, Jack warming hit chilled hands at the kitchen fire. And then he explained to mo his plan for the future, and I promised to wait for his fortune to be made, even if it wore seven times seven years. And the rain drove In sheets against the side of the house, and the thuuder of the rising tide filled tho silence like the constant discharge of artillery. "You can nover go away from here In this storm, at this time of night, Jack," said I. "It's all one can do to keep out of the quicksands by daylight, Owen says." "Will the old lady keep mor I shook my head. "Sho has a horror of strangers," said L "But I won't ask her, Jack. I'll make you up a bed of blankets and soft pillows on this kitchen settee. You'll be very comfortable, and you must be off before daylight, lest Owon Kinggan should dis cover you. And, Jack, there's plenty of bread and meat and new milk In tho cupboard, and". "You aro a darling," said Jack. "There's Aunt Cadgctt's cane thump ing on the floor," cried I. "Her signal. Sho wants me." Aunt Cadgett was unusually exacting that night. I thought I never should get her settled to her satisfaction, aud in the midst of it I remembered that I had left the jewel casket down stairs. Sup pose that she should take a fancy to in spect it, as she often did at nlghtl I trembled at the idea. Fortunately, however, sho did not, and I crept quietly down stairs after she wac asleep. Jack was asleep, too, lying In an un consciously graceful attitude, With hit cheek pillowed against his arm, and there where I hod left it, after we had both admired the antique ornamonls, was the leather case on the dresser shelf. "Thank goodness!" I said to myself, as I put it back Into tho chiffonier drawei and noisolessly turnod the key. I sat beside Aunt Cadgett 's bed that night, catching what scraps and frag ments of sleep I could, for her rheuma tism racked her fiercely and sho was to take her medicine every two hours. And when I wobe in the early morning she was sweetly sleeping, the sunshine streamed cheerily across the floor, and Jack was goue! Dora," said Mrs. Cadgett to me the next day, "bring me my jowel caeo. I obeyed, thinking but Iitllo of the order. "Open It," said the old lady. I opened it There was only the faded velvet lining with Its worn compart ments. Not a trinket remained. I gave n great start Oh!" I cried, "where are the Jewels?' I suppose you haven't stolen 'em?" said Mrs. Cadgett "I?" "Nor old Owenr 'Of course not" "No one else has been In the house?" I looked at Mrs. Cadgett She looked at me with eyes that glittered like piercing dagger points. I fell, sobbing, on my knees, and buried my face in tbe bed clothes. "Jack has been here," said L, "He slept in the kitchen that rainy night He saw the jowels. I was trying them on Oht Aunt Cadgett, It was very wrong and wicked of me, but I meant no harm! Ohl I'm quite, quite sure of that! And if any one has stolen your jewels" "No one lias stolen them, child," said Mrs. Cadgett, with a sort of low, chuck ling laugh. "They're safe here, under ,7, , t ... 7 . . . . T my pillow, where I put them that night after you brought them up here. I man- agod somehow to take the key out of your dress pocket and hobble to thechif- t otiier arter you were asleep. 1 knew there was a n&n down stairs I had heard his voice and I thought my treas ures would be safest under my own hand. Besides, I couldn t bear the idea of bar ing a sly traitor in the house. You haven't been sly, Dora; yon have been confessing it aiL Don t cry, little girl; I forgive you. "But I don't deserve to be forgivenf I sobbed out "I have been sly. Give your jewels to Jemima Cadgett, please give Iter everything! Mrs Cadgett smiled and shook her head. "Now," said site, "tell me all about this Jack." And I told her, and she comforted me witli iiu. of sympathy and kindly ca resses such as I never had expected to re- col ro from her, That was laxt year. Jack and I were married a month ago, and Aunt Cad- gett's wedding gift to me sras th loauh era case of jewels. Jack is to be overseer of the great Cadgett orange orchards down ln j-jorida, ana.

Fort Worth Qasatto.J The talk lately ao prevalent about negro equality, Dogro ralo, the color line, the race problem, and other similar topics, ia nncallod for, idle and of no possible good. It is point less declamation and not a little non sensical, that ia, much of it. lucre is nobody asking for, nor advocating, negro equality, nor any other human equality, and there is not, and cannot be any equality ex cept equal rights and equal protec tion by law, and I don't understand that the negroes nsk for, or expect, or wish for any other equality. Negro rule is a ghost or myth of tho imagination. There is no real probability that the negroes of this country, or of any one of the states will ever become rulers, though pos sibly in some counties or other locali ses tbey may acquire tbe balance of power and cause the election of some colored man to office. If they do there is nothing alarming in such an event There are already negro offi cers in several of the states and I have not learned that any very se rious disorders have been caused by that faot. The color line and race problem are made topics for the expenditure of long and eloquont spebches and essays to prove what! that the negro race is inferior to the whiteB, which nobody denies ; but if the conditions of the two races, which have prevail ed for 300 years, should be ravcrsod for 300 more, perhaps the while would be the inferior race. But that signifies nothing, nor does the supe riority of the white race have any political significance. The negroes of the United States are citizens, and many of them, like many other citizens, are somewhat ignorant and somewhat vicious, wherein they re semble some whites. No sane per son disputes tueir ignorance, sna consistent philanthropists should, and do, seek to relieve them, white and black alike, of their ignorance and vice by the only possible remedy, education. But I am asked, do yon want your son to dance with a colored girl, or your daughter to marry a ne gro T I answer no. And I add thore are some white girls with whom I don't want my son to danoe, and some white men whom I don't want my daughter to marry. The fact is, society is mnde up of many classes and all the classes have their special lines or distinction, and those lines are based on various con ditions, Buch as family, wealth, sta tion, intellectuality, color, nationality, etc. Fartios and associations are get! er ally of those who affiliate under the above head, and always will be. Social parties are always composed of porsons who hnve natural affinity for each other. White and black people naturally rapel eaoh other and avoid intimacy. Tbey always prefer to associate with their own color. That it is unfortunate for the south that there is so much ignorance among tbe negroes nobody will deny, and I think I may safely and truly assert that there is a pretty hrge amount of ignorance amongst tho whites also ; but I repeat, these facts nave no pout ical significance. An ignorant ne gro is of no more or less importance to tbe government, or any political party, than an ignorant white man, but when we consider that both are voters they become of absorbing nnd unlimited interest to all philanthro pists and patriots, and tbe best inter est and welfare and prosperity and utirjpiutJBS oi mo nuuw pu n. uuu th bo,e Cmnt demand that tbey , . j,i . happiness of tbe whole people and shall be educated as speedily as pos sible, cost what it may. 13. Russia's Great Novelist. Count Tolstoi ia a man of CO, with iron gray hair, sunburned counte nance, plentifully furnished with gray beard and mneUche. His hair is parted down the middle and is thick and full. His brow, furrowed with the plowshare of thought, ia broad and massive; bis eyes, small and . as a 1 1 piercing, gleam oat oeneam unsay brows, llis nose, large and promt nent. baa fnli and expressive nostrils. The feature! are so strongly marked that once Beer the cannot be soon forgotten. He is rather above the average heicht, and Lis threescore years have not bowed bis statu: e. Bat be is no loncrer as rooast as ne was. He looks somewhat shrunken and worn, as if time and the ever burnint? fire within were making in roads on what waa onoe a stout and stalwart form. Coant Tolstoi dresses not a la moo iik, bnt not aa a count He wea-a a coarse, dark blouse, oaiiooea no tbe breast and fastened round toe w-tift with a leathern g;rJl& Collars, cuffs and such frippery be eschews. His trousers are as those of other men. Oa bis bead be wears a soft weather beaten brimleea hat, and whenever be walks abroad be carries stout Uff. Tb costume of tbe disciple is Lks to that of bis master. Simplicity in dress is a distinctive note of the Tolatoian gospel one arsocg tha many points in which it reaetnblea tbe Qiakera. Cor. Louis-j Courier-Jocruil, Education lief used. In tho great city of New York thousands of children have boen tins year turned away from the pnblio schools. There is beither school room nor teachers to meet tbe wants of tho increasing number of edaca blo childron. This year is not an exceptioual one. This Las been the case for many years, and at one time the number of pupils turned away was estimated at as many as 20,000. The Philadelphia Pross says : that Philadelphia is not much hotter off, and that one argnmont against a oompulsory education law was the want of school accommodations in the largest city of tbe state. The same complaint comes from Brook lyn and other large cities in the. north. In wealthy states and com mnnitios like these no child should be refused instruction in the elementary branchos at least For this deficien cy in school accommodations there may be several reasons, some for which tbe state is to blame and oth ers boyond its control.

Any man who ' had serious reasons to fear assassin- , ation (as Field had), who was able to secure a guard (as Field was), who neglected to secure one and was kill ed iu consequence, would be de nounced as a fool and vory justly, t If a minister of God were threatened ' and his congregation guarded him to prevent an assault, no one would call ' lum a coward. And in the matter of carrying arms a supreme justice stands in tbe same relation aa a preacher. San Antonio Express. . Complete nud Permanent.
