AnTttun'g not-t avowal his bitteu disai--
rOtTtXNT,
It was n moment of thrilling Intensity to the
breathless throng that watched below, 'J hey had
heard Arthur llochester's lolco crtlng out out
tlm hoarse rumbling of tho fulling stones:
" Courugo, lonie 1 I will savo you or perish with
J0'1 1" ...
lonie heard, and realized that help was at hand.
Fhe Mri'lchoi out her arms to hlinwllha piteous
sob, falling in a deep swoon nt his fei t.
In an Instant her heroic rescuer had rntscd her
and laced nbout, but tho vast throng below ilnricl
not cheer or acnr.ely lireafio. for tno prlloua
descent wits a thousand Hints more dangerous
with Ms burden thnn the im-cm had be en.
Hleu by step Arthur ltochcsler undo hla way
down the swaying ataira with lilslowjy burden.
'I h slight failenlng which held them was strulued
to Pa tilinott tension, ami when the noble rrscur
hnd renclicd within twenty fictof the ground It
snapped asunder with a crush.
A c ry of horror rose from every throat; but In
that Instant, quick as Hash, Arthur hail made a
terrible Irup, and had staggered forward, laying
lonlo down, amidst mighty cheers, In her com
panions' arms. And at that moment tho great
wheel fell, but the noble rescuer and the lovely
girt he had periled his lifo for wcro safe.
Krank Lyons stood by, watching tho thrilling
scene with lowering brow.
"Itoeheaterlato tho foro again," he muttered
throngli uls clenched teeth; ami although ho wat
heartily thankful Hint beautiful lonle's lire hint
been aaved, hu turned awuy, bitterly chagrined to
know that Arthur ltochcsler had made himself the
hero of the tragic affair.
When lonie opened herryo', sho found herself
In her own apartment at Mrs. Gregory's, where stio
had been conveyed. ....
"Is It a dream:" sho cried, raising her dark,
curly head from tho pillow, nnd B.i7.!tig lu tetror
uhouthcr, , .
" It was real enough, poor child," replied Mrs.
(Iregory, sliding: " You mutt not talk. on are
still treinbllng wllh nerwiusn as."
"Hut who saved mef persisted lonio. us
It Mr. Mr. Lycius?"
" No, indeed," replied Mrs. flrczory. " It wat
Mr. Arthnr ltochcsler Ideas his dear hoart. He
perilled his life to rescue you. "
Ionic turned away, uttering no word, thongh,
deep lu her heart she felt sadly disappointed to
think It was not Krank Lyons who had aaved
her.
"Ho sent you a bouquet, however," contlnnoJ
Mrt. Orcgory, pi icing In her hands the flowers
Krank Lyons had left at tho door un hour before.
Ionic took the roc eagerly, ami as alto tinned
her fiico among thtm, she found nmong their
fragraut depths a nolo, which read as follows:
"Ionic, will you grunt moan Intertlow thlsnf
tcruoonT 1 ahull count the hours until lseeyou.
Do not refine me, I pray you. 1 havo so much to
saytoyoul"
Could alio rotuao htm when her young heart
yearned for him: Ah, not And, rouoh to Mrs.
Urcgoiy'a nunoyance, the afternoon brought him.

the girl's fluitcrlug while hand',
'Hie rosc-lluah dcopeucil on ner face. Ho could
not help but note how her eyes brightened uud then
Onioned.
' You do not know how Jealona I am ot the man
who rescued you, Ionic," ho said, lu an agllated
voice. "The moment I taw your peril I darted
across the way to secure a rope and a ladder to
make tho deicent sure. Then I saw, when I
returned a moment later, that Itoehestor had
headed mo nlf ; tint tho fellow was mnd to risk
bringing yoa down those steps, Instead of waiting
for the ladder to be put up."
lonie gavo a great algh of relief. This was n
comforting insurance to her. and sho never
thought of doutdlng him when lie added "that hu
would glte twenty lives, If hu hud them, for her
dear sake ; for living would bo Intolerable to. htm
without her." Hu said It in so sincere a tono that,
looking Into his fuce, tho girl bellut cd him.
Tho world HU'iiicd to suddenly grow dark when
hotookhlc departure. At that Identical period
qullo a icon was occurring In Iho millionaire mill
owner's Lexington avenue, mnuslon.
He und ticen informed of tho terrible catastrophe,
and how his toll hud perilled his llfu to aavc a
huuutllul toting girl who had worked on the foutlh
floor of tho mill.
HU luce had darkened an ho llaleucd, but not
until Iho uietscnger hud departed old ho give lull
vent to his uutioyanoe.
"Tnls alfidr may end In n lovo scene and a
romantic marrlago If I do not nip It in the hud,"
hu muttered, striding angrily un nnd down the
luxuriously furnished room. "Hut surely the boy
has not been hot-headed enough to full ln lovo
with her.
"No, no," ho muttered, under his breath.
"Arthur must marry Kliunc, my ward, whether
hu will or no. For long years this has been my
plan. Ills thu only, way out of the lubyrllitlt of
ullllciilllea lu which 1 am placed. "
'Ihecild man at onto sent lor Arthur, and when
ho came Into the library, roughly taid.
' Hit down. I want to talk to you about I'.laluo
(Iruugcr. Tula la no now subject between us.
Uon'l stand with your back to mo looking out of
tho window. l)o you hear or care for what I am
saying: If youddiid to make lovo to any other
girl, ty tho Lord Harry, you'd bo sorry tor It to
your dilug day. What's the reason vou have not
asked tlalno to marry .vou:" thundered thu old
gentleman. " Whit arc you fooling around for:"
Arthur ltochcsler turned slowly, laced Uls father
and said;
"1 havo not carried nut your wish because I
would do no woman tno Injustice to offer hor my
hand when my heurt did not accompany it I do
not love Elaine, and I do lovo another with all my
heart."
" Who Is this girl whom you lovo or think you
dot" said John ltochcsler, rising aud facing his
haudsnmo young son.
" Her name Is lonie Lawrence, father," said
Arthur, proudly, "blio hai no wealth, savn a
dower lu tier beauty, purity and goodness. Bho Is
the girl whom 1 perilled my own life to-iiuf to
roicue from death. Bho Is employed In our mill. "
"How long has this thing been eolngon:" cried
Mr, Itochester, harshly, fixing hla gaze on hliaon'a
fsce. "How long havo joti been luuklug love to
this working girl, lonie Lawrence J"
"I have loved her (rain the first moment I saw
her, fathtr, " he uiisnorcd, "and 1 will win hir,
HI can, for ray wife."
"Your wlte I I vtould rather see you lying

"rutlurl" cried the unhappy young man, "I

Yunr wealth Is us nothing when neighed iigaltut

" Do vou know tiio ionaeqiience, then:"
"1 cannot help the consequences," returned
Arthur.
' ' You shall be disinherited Vfuro nightfall cut

young man, bravely. " I am no Uttir than other

" Y'ou ahull hu cull the 'sweet toll yotiwontl"
cried the Irate old gentleman, "Nothing will

Arthur took his liul.went from his father's ' ouso,
and, ilttle dre.imltg of the inlet ou disappoint,
incut uwaltlug him, hurtled uwy to Ionlu'a humble
home.
l'or the first time In Arthur Rochester's lire hi
hi art lieal strugtlr us lie pulieu tho bell at the

Mrs. uregorr answered the summons, and her
faco lighted up when she caw wbothclrvUltorwaa,
but she wat greatly rtustcrcd at such a grand gen
tleman at Mr, Itochester coming to the plain, bum
ble home.
All of a flutter, tho took his card Into the Inner
room to Ionic.
"II looks so kind and so noble," onmtn'nted
Mrs. (Jregmy. "You ought to have hcaid how

tone ol volco.addlnjr, gentlyt ' 1 hope you will like
Mr. Lyons tor mv aake, If not for hit own. A
truer gentleman never lived."
lonie quitted the room, walking slowly Intolths
meagerly lurnlblied apartment wnlch Mrt. Orcgory
deslcnaled as her parlor.
Arthur ltnchotvr rose quickly, h'a fair face
flushing, and came forward with extended bonds
to meet In r.
'leura euiuc li.to Inn c's eyes. Kor a moment
cobs choked her utterunco.
"I was trying to nnd words eloquent enough to
thank you for w hat you have done for me. Mr.
Itochester," the said, "and they fall me. iowe
my lite to you, and .while that III o lasts I shall bo
grateful to you."
UeraJaeo tho Utile white hand, to UU Jlnj una

said, huskily. "Dolciwu all your favor to tbo

"No," she answered; "hot altogether for
that."
"Take care, Ionic, " he said, "that you mnko
no mistake. Your words are lite or death to me."
Bho diew back with etsrlled pallor.
" Do y-m not know can you not noderstnnd-J
lonie:" he said, in A low, husky voles. "I lovo
yon with all the strength of tny heart, and I want
you for my wife. Now. Ionl, what have you to
say tome:" hu asked, hmklly, brndllu over her
so near Unit his fair, clustering hair touched tho
dark, curly rings that lay In soft love-loekt on her
white forehead so near that tho peifumo of tho
two palo pink blosioms sho woro reached hire.
Bhe was silent from sheer excess of amazement;
she almost believed her Bcnse were playing her
some strange trick. Mr. JtuclirttrrtuieitlnT I
And she an I she revered him she honored Mm
her gratitude luhlin wan boundless: but this wat
not love.
Hl.o drew her lltllo hand away from him and
raised thoso lovely, dffrk, childish ore, running
over with aenri, to his pale face.
"Oh, he llt nine, I would have Hated you this,
Mr. Itochester," she sobbed, "If I had but known
Iff hid but dreamed-fir, oh I It bteaks mv
heurt to gito yon puln you who have been mo good

He looked at her lu liorrllno fear, a fear which
dtove tho color from his lace. Ills heart bent; ho
would have fund death In anr form more willingly
than irorn the lips of this girl whom ho lotc-l so
wellfor It tins death If sho did not lotc him

"Let mo know Ihn truth nt once, Ionic," he

" Not In tlm way yon you would hnve mo, Mr.

Her head drooped, and alio shrank back from

" Tell me ono thing, Ionln," ho said: 'Mhavo

lie stool nullo still beforo her. No word, no
mom, no sigh, escaped his lips to show how deeply
the Iron had entered his soul. Thla was an emer

lie bowed his head, saying, hniklly:
" If it Is decreed that 1 should not have her love,

Col. Johnson lost summer erected n dwelling on
tho open ground near his garden this tide of Irving
ton; tho sun's rayH beat down nil that houtu tills,
trrlngly, and Iho Colonel concluded to protect It
with trees. One lltinucll was found who declared
hu i iiiild transplant tut adjacent forest to tho Col
onel's yard. Tno treea tary from ten to eighteen
Inches in diameter. Bunnell rigged up a ttotit
wagon, fastening to the hind wheels nn liuuicnao
Ictcr.fnrty lu tllty feet long, thick, and strong. Thlt
was luahed at ono end to thowaaon. Around n
tree to bo moved lie dug a trench, tho radii being
three or four feet. On ono side ho dngatwclvc
Inch trench close to the trie, and Into litis trench
ho backed hla wagon wheels wllh tho creet lever.
The leter then stood ptrullel wllh tho trunk of tho
tree, uud tho two wcro lushed together, boom

leter would be tightly fattened, git lug cute solid,

ened at tho surface of the ground u hundred feet or
more from the tree. Teams hitched to the end of
the ropo could then with ease uproot the tree with
a large quantity of earth nnd root attached. When
thus uprooted It would bo on wheels and easily
movable, held steadily from roots to tip. Tho
sncces nf the work on the Johnson place hits led to
tho removal of many large trees on the North side.
The process Is believed to bo of no harm to the

(Von IA Snn rronrltto A In
A curious and amusing Incident occurred yester
day on Clay street hill, between Btockton and
1'owell ttrtcf. An elderly gentleman whose Alder
manlo girth and florid countenance bespoke a love
for the good thlogtof this life wat tolling slowly
nil the ascent. The day was rather warm and the
exertion canted tho old gentleman to perspire
freely. He had got at least a quarter ol a block np
tho hill when a Chinese appeared at the corner of
Prospect place wheeling one of Falrbank s patent
scales beforo him. Atlll-lttcV would have it, he
he had Juat rounded the corner, when he placed hit
foot on a banana peel, Blip- ed and fell to the earth,
letting the machine go ns ho fell. Tho so lies
starte d uown MIL Tho cldcrlv gentleman, stinled
by the rumbling nolae, looked nn and for a moment
wa paralyzed with terror. The machine was com
ing straight for him. Then hi- ttled to dodge It.
lie Jumped to tho ulae of tho sidewalk. The ma
chine Jumped too. Ho skipped to tno wall and so
did the scales. Hack he went, but his foe still
headed him off. lie Jumped and skipped and
panted and perspired, but never once tiiouptit of
getting off the sidewalk Into tne middle of tho
street. 'Iho machine wua almost upon hint. Ills
hat fell off. Iho few straggling hairs which orni
mettled Iho old gentleman's scalp stood straight up
and every poro ptoveil a fouulnin nf perspiration.
Nearer and nuircr enmo the machine. Hal ho
would run for It. Ilo turned, but a'ns! too late.
Tho deadly machine caught him aoottt tho ankles.
Up went his feel, and tho old gentleman mado tho
acquaintance a posteriori of the rnpldly-tnoving
scales. Down the hill they went together, thp old
Bcntleinau'a arms whirling llko a wlmMnm and
the wheels of the machine creaking out unearthly
sounds. Tobogganing w.is nothing to It. On
Btockton ttrcet crossing they came to a fall stop.
The old gentleman lumped to his feet unhurt nnd
glared around llercely. lie perceived the smiling
coiintenanco of the Innocent heathen, who ex
tended his hand with a amllo of ehlldllkcnlm
pllelty and Slid.
" Yon allco mine big Mellcnn man. My machine
nn maun wavce big man nllce name you. Him
blukeo two places. Huppoao you payee tno ten
dollu for mend him:"
"You scoundrel I" cried tho old gentleman,
purple tilth nigc. "How dure ou make such u
proposition: I'll sue vou for damages, sir, How
dure you let that machlno go: lly tflundor I"
The laal ejaculation was caused by the speaker
discovering that his IndlspcnauhlCB hail suffered
severely In tno recent toboggan rldo down hill,
and Unit several passers-bv. Including some young
ladles, could not tall to eibiervc his predicament.
" Orcat Caeaarl what shall I do:" he murmured.
"Mebbe Mellcati manulleo samo payee me ten
dollo," broke In the f'hln'sc, smiling blandly nt tho
victim's attempt to hide the state of affairs.
" I won't give you n cent, sirl"
" Mcllcan man no go homo like that. Officer
allrsthlm. Buppuio ou slto tno ten dollar, mo
go Mcllcan mau notno and bring pants. Y'ou nllco
same go In Chinaman's house. "
" Yon swlndllug'healhcii," yelled tho victim, na
he placed hla back Drinly against tho wall. " I'll
not give yon n cent. I'll huvo yon arrested.
I'll"
At that moment a cir came over the hill loaded
with passengers. On the dummy sat the old gen
tlemun's wife and several friends. It would never
do to be seen lu such a sorry pllgnt.
"I suppose I must," he murmured. "Y'ou
hoathen, go to Lot kin street and glvo 'em this
nolo and I'll glvo you fj. "
" Five dollu too little. Heap too far. Mo go for
ten dolla," replied John.
1 he victim was obliged to give ln. Ho mado the
bargain and went Into tho Celestial's home He
waited thero until the Chinaman returned, when
he changed his nether garment and took the car
to his home. Inwardly vowing never to climb Clay
street hill again.

The Sonar Sarrd the Day.
fffeary in lh. VletmUr Osersry,
The article on ths "Bongs of tho War," by Mr.
Brander Matthews, In the Century Magazine for
August, brought back to my memory vividly an
experience at Mnrfreesboro', jnat after the battlo
of Stone's Hirer. Thero wsb a good deal of
gloomy feeling there. Tho losses in the army had
been terrible, and besides, there were among the
troops a large number of KontucVy aud Tennessee
regiments, to whom the Emancipation Proclama
tion waa not palatable. A number of offlcers had
resigned or tendered resignations on account ot It,
One day a whole batch of resignations came ln,
all written ln tho same handwriting and
coming from one regiment, Including nearly
all the officers In It, aaslgnlng aa a rea
son their unwillingness to serve longer In conse
quence of the chanie In the purpose and conduct
of the war. The Instigator of these letters waa
found, and dismissed with every mark of Ignominy
his shoulder-strips were cut off, nnd he was
drummed out of camp. This licrolo remedy
cuuaed the otllcers whom ho hud in slid to with
draw their resknatlonu; but Die thins rnuklod. A
few days afterwards a glee club came down from
Chicago, brloplng with them the new irong,
We'll rail round tbe flag, bora,
and It ran through the o imp like wIM.fjre. The
effect waa Ilttle short of miraculous. Itputsa
much spirit and cheer Into the army as a victory.
Day and night one could hear It by every, camp
fire and ln every tent. I ahall never forget now tne
men rolled out the line:
And althongb be mar be poor, be shall never be a alave.
I do not know whether Mr. Hoot knows what good
work hla song did for as there but I hope so.
