DICK DOWNER'SJISENCIIANTMENT
I IFrvm London Trvtn,
Dick Downer was inclined to make a fool
of himself nbout his pretty cousin, Mrs.
Mayblossom. Notwithstanding that sho had
beartlcssly jilted him, his dovotion to her
seemed rather to incroaso than to dimin.
ish. Ho could not, of courso, ignore tho fact
that sho had treatod him most scnndalous.
lyj but his mild resentment faded nwny
to a vanishing point when it becamo appar
ent that his cousin's marriago was likely to
provo an unhnppy ono. Capt. Mayblossom
flcomod a good fellow enough iu his way ;
but howover good a fellow a man may bo,
if he is absolutely devoid of in
como nnd expectations, ho is not
n desirablo holpmato. No doubt,
when she oloped with him, Ada Mayblossom
had counted upon being able to win back the
indulgent affection of her adopted parent,
Dick's father ; but, great as her influence
had been ovor tho old mnn, sho Boon found
thnt ho was vindictively implacable Not
only was this so, but old Job Downer was
furious with his son for whnt ho considered
i his wnnt of spirit nnd proper prido in de
fending his cousin after her treatment of
him. Old Downer was novcr tirod of do
flouncing his nieco in torms which poor Dick
could not sit by nnd listen to without indig-
, nnnt romoustrance, wheroby ho not only
irritnted his father, but innocently helped to
dissipate tho remotest chance of effecting a
reconciliation between tho two.
' In spito of his father's protestation Dick
was n froimont visitor at tho trim little
suburban villa in which his fair cousin and
hor paupor hUBband resided. Doing a simple
minded individual, ho might hnvo gone thero
fifty times without ovor suspecting that
Mack Cnro wns perched nstrldo tho gnblo.
Tho honso was daintily nnd ovon oxponhivoly
furnished ; tho living wns excellent, for tho
Captain wns particular nbout his food nnd
had tho reputntion of being ono of tho best
judges of clnrot in London; whilo tho domes
tic affairs geuernlly were well ordered nnd
showed no signs of painful parsimony. Diok,
however, was soon initiated by his couBin
into tho secret of impending trouble, and
sympathetically shared with her the dismal
apprehensions which it involved,
j To most pooplo who, by tho way hod a
pretty shrewd suspicion of tho Captain's in
come little Mrs.Mayblossom seemed entirely
impervious to the worry of pecuniary embar
rassment. She was always well dressed,
cheerful, animated and fascinating. But to
Dick, in their confldental tete-n-tetes, she
confessed that her affected indifference was
t but a mnsk to conceal from the world the on.
fgulshwhioh tortured her. She contrived to

Anson Food's FUhlrt Experience In III
Father' Home on a Hirer.
Little Anson Pond, the saturnine, doesn't
look ns if ho could toll n good story to snvo
his Hfo. Hut in tho'briof intervals when ho
is not thinking out n molodramn of tho " Her
Atonement " typo his society can bo tolerated.
Tho other day ho was tho centre of an
nnimnted group of Thespians. Ench hod
told stories, nnd it was Pond's turn.
As tho little gentleman nowadays leads an
extremely uninteresting life, he was obliged
to turn for hiB story to the days when ho was
young.
" My fathor owned a country houso." said
Mr. Pond j nnd ns the river rnn nlmost bo.
ncnth our windows, thoro was excellent Ash
ing. " Ono night I couldn't sloop s so I thought
thnt, ns I hnd my fishing-rod in tho bed
room, I would just opon tho window nnd
dextorously throw my lino out into tho
rivor. I, consequently, opouod tho enso
ment, and with a jerk sent tho fishing-line
forth.
" Thero I snt for ton minutes, enjoying tho
cool night nir, but catching never n fish.
Presently I thought I would robait mv

thero wns something on it.
" I gnvo a tug, nnd as I did so, a torrlflo

followed wcro awful. I forgot all about
Ashing and ran downstairs. My father was
already outside. Tho household was nrouBod.
Tho cause of the unearthly yell was soon ex

TWO WOMEN IN A WINDOW.
Tho Passluir Public Htaren In Hurprlse, but
Treat Them Politely.
In tho window of an uptown storo two
women opernte sowing-machines all day long.
Thoy are not as extraordinary objocts of at
tention as tho soven long-hairod sisters from
Hairvlllo, but they nttract a casual crowd
now and therein just tho same manner. Tho
wayfaror glares at thorn a moment and then
goes his way.
Thoy woro asked yestorday if thoy woro not
embarrassed by tho prominenco of their posi
tion. " Wo wero at first," said ono of them,
a matter-of-fact person who dressed in black
and woro a business look that a commercial
agency would without hesitation have classed
ns Al. " Wo got over it nftor n whilo."
"Do you not fool uncomfortable when so
many peoplo Btaro at you as if you wcro Zulus
or Albinos ?"
" I fenr thnt you greatly oxnggornto tho

pertinently. Thoy merely look nt us in sur
prise, glance at our work and hasten on.
You see wo are in n side street, whoro passers
by nre not so numerous ns in llrondwoy."
" It isn't so hard as you would imagine,"
said tho other woman. " Peoplo can see
that wo nro hero for so much a week, nnd
they don't nnnoy us. Wo go on the principle
thnt no lady will bo annoyed or insulted who
hours herself with dignity. Tho same rule
holds good for a Btoro window asfor a church

One of the handsomest bonbon boxes recently
seen was made In Imitation of a Huisian cadet'g
cap. The roll was of oxydlzed silver, worked t0
life of debt nnd false nppearnnces, supple
mented by worse than uncertainty regarding
the future.
Pretty Mrs. Mayblossom had enemies, of
courso. and theso did not hesitate to insinuate
that sho deliberately workod upon hor
cousin's feelings for tho soko of getting
monoy out of him. It would havo boen
nearer tho truth, perhaps, had thoy suggested
that Mrs. Mayblossom's motivo was to touch
indirectly, through Dick, tho adainantino
heart of hor wealthy unole. At tho samo
timo it must bo owned that sho did get money
out of Dick, and took it with a very faint
show of Bcruple.
Dick would willingly havo partod with the
last farthing ho possessed In tho world to
spare her a moment's uneasiness ; but, un
fortunately, the assistance ho could rondor
was of a merely temporary naturo. Though
nominally a partner in his father's business,
his incomo was but that of a poorly paid
clork, and tho old man, knowing his son's
simple habits, and no doubt suspecting tho
destination of his pocket-mouoy, turned a
deaf car to all suggestions of a " rise." For
his own part, old Downor refused emphat
ically to contributo a Binglo farthing to tho
support of his erring nieco and her husband,
and raanifestod so unforgiving a spirit that
after a time Dick abandoned as absolutely
hopolcss tho ungrateful task of appealing to
him.
Meanwhile, naturollv, things went from
bad to worse in the Mayblossom menage;
creditors becamo clamorous, friends grew
lukewarm and chary, and the procuring the
commonest necessaries of life involved in
genious but humiliating subterfuges uud
roancouvres. To complicate matters there ap.

lines, urging him to come to her.at once, as a

moment's delay he hastened to her side and

Her abundant tresses of auburn hnir fell in

ders ; her bluo eyes, moist withtonrs, loomed
largo and bright, liko stars through nn even
ing mist, and bcr wholo attitude be
tokened tho most imthetic grief nud

cess of furious indignation at this
moving example of dipt. Mayblossom's in
fnmy, and bo rose abruptly from his seat
with a liorco exclamntion.
",Whnt is tho matter, Diok?" exclaimed
his cousin, looking up quickly.
"alio matter 1 Thnt thnt scoundrel! "
gasped Dick, almost beside himsolf.
"Hush, Dickl nftcr nil he is ho is my

"Yes, but well, I will soo him, at nil

himself. " Ho cannot rcalizo tho wrong ho

"No, Dick," interposed his cousin, speak
ing in a low tono, but with clearness and de
cision. "Do not go to him. I forbid it.

letter her husband had written to her, " ho is

Ho deserves to be shot," growled Dick, be

"Tho greatest kindess you can do to mo
and to my child is o avoid anything that may
lead to scandnl. Will you promise, Dick, not
to seok my husband? said Mrs. Mayblossom,
apprniiugly.
"Of courso, if yon insist," said Dick, nn.
able, as usual, to resist her pleading glance.
Hut but whnt is lo bo dono?
"For mo and my darling littlo ono, von

"Thero is the child, as you say," said Dick,

not purchase tho old man's forgiveness.
" l'oor littlo mo ! I foarcd it would bo so,"
murmured tho unlucky girl, nuplying her
handkerchief to her eyes. " Howover," sho
ndded briskly, " I must not give woy, but
rcmomber my child. I havo mode up my
mind what to do, Dick. Fivo years ngo,
when poor papa died, I left somo friends
bohindmo in Australia whon I camo ovor to
live with Uuclo Job. Somo of theso will,
perhaps, put me in tho way of earning my
own living, if I return among them."
" WhntT lcavo England, Ada !" cried Dick,
with a thrill of dismay.
" Yes, Dick ; it will bo hotter for mnny
reasons," said Mrs. Mayblossom, glancing
for a moment at Dick's pained expression
and then fixing her gazo abstractodly upon
tho point of hor dainty littlo red morocco
shoe, which peeped from beneath her dross.
" Besides," she added, aftor rather nn awk
ward puubo, " I havo no particular Tcason to
feel attachod tho old country."
" You will leave no ono behind you, Ada,
who" began Dick, with flaming chocks.
" You aro alwnys good, and kind, and
noblo, and generous." interposed Mrs. May
blossom hastily; "and I never, no, never!
shall forget all your goodness. But my mind
is made up, Dick -quito mndoup; and tho
.only question is, how I nm to got tho money
to carry out my plans."
" Monoy." murmured Dick, somewhat so.
bered by tho introduction of this prosaio
topic.
Of courso. I cannot go without monoy.
Thoro will bo tho passuge to pay and nn out.
fit for mo and pet ; nnd, of course, I should
bo unhnppy if I went without paying my
personal debts, nnd I should rcquiro to lmvo
something in my purso when I land over
thero, shouldn't 1, Dick?" said tho practical
littlo lndy with great animation.
" I suppose so," said Dick, rather faintly.
"I havo no doubt I could raise what you
would require."
"My doar, noblo Dick," exclaimed Mrs.
Mayblossom feoliugly. "But you couldn't
you couldn't, inuoed! You novo no idea
what a Bum would bo needed."
And immediately little Mrs. Mayblossom
began to check off noon her slender fingers
n number of items which soon reached a very
substantial total. Dick was considerably
staggored at tho amount, and ruefully con.
fessod that it was far beyond bis modest
means. Tho conversation tborcupon took an
extremely profnic and practical turn, which
renders unnecessary a detailed report of it.
Diok, who could noror withstand his fair
cousin's humors, was easily led to abandon
the sentimental aspect of the situation and
to discuss with her, soberly enough, the im
portant question of ways and means. The
result of the interview was that, having
pledged himself to obtain the requisite fundi
to equip his cousin and her child for the con.
templated voyage, Diok found himself forced
to the unpleasant neoeasity of demanding a
check from his father.

tho object of h!s son's request, nnd thoro cn
mied n Hceuu Uiich, but for Dick's filial for
benrnuco, might hnvo ended in complete,
estrangement. liut on tho following morn,
ing, to his son's surprise old Downor showed
signs of relenting, and at length ho said,
rnthor sulkily s
" You nnd I mustn't qunrrol nny moro
nbout thnt woman, Dick. Sim isn't worth it.
I'vo written to Grcggs, my Inwyor, and told
ldm to ship hor off to Aiibtrnlin at my ex.
penso."
''My denr fnthorl " criod Dick, immensely
relieved nnd gratified.
" You ought to feol grateful, Dick, for I'm
doing it entirely upon your account, nud not
out of sympnthy for her," growled tho old
mnn. " She deserves her fnto for hur heart,
less conduct to you nud me. Deserted by
her husband, sho would bo moro dangerous
than ovor ovor hero, nud I would much
sooner sho woro on tho other sido of tho
globe."
Dick hastened off to inform his cousin of
the success of his ntUsion ; nnd, though littlo
Mrs. Mnybloshom ovidently did not relish
tho interference of n lawyer in tho business,
sho, nevertheless, thanked Dick very wnrmly
nnd cordially for tho service ho hnd ren
dered, Dick would fain have taken an active
part in nssistiug his cousin to muko tho neces
sary nrnmgements for her departure, but,
to his great chngriu, Mrs. Muyblossom said
with firmness:
" No. Dick ; it must not be. In tho miser
nblo position of a deserted wifo I cannot lie
too circumspect in my conduct, llesides. as
my dear, good nnclo is going to pny all this
money for mo, I must not olleud him by oc
cupying his sou's time."
, liut, Ada 1 Will you not think of mo n
littletr" cried Dick, quito plnintnoly.
" I nm thinking of your good, Dick," said
Mrs. Mnyhlossom, moro seriously than sho
wan wont to speak. " You must try nnd for
got nie. Dick."
" Forget you, Adn! I novor can, novcr.
My heart will go with you over tho boh," cried
poor Dick.
" No, Dick; it will not," said tho littlo lady,
fixing hor bluo eyes upon him for an instant
' with n strange look of determination. Then
sho added lightly s "You shall come and sou
mo off, Dick. 1 want you to come. Hut until
then it must bo an revoir."
Hho made him n littlo courtesy, nnd then,
with n sudden impulse, seized his hand and
kissed it. Jieforo poor Dick could realize
whnt ho was about, no had fallen on his knees
at her foot, giving passionate utterance to his
frnntio adoration. His cousin looked -considerably
startled for a moment, and then, re
leasing herself gently hut with firmness from
his grasp, quietly insisted upon his promis.
ing not to see her again until the dnv of hor
departure. Dick, feeling considerably
abashed by Mrs. Mayblossom's dignified de.
meanor, care the required undertaking, guilt,

from questioning the decree of banishment.

hnd not seriously conceivod. Now thnt
Adn Mayblossom's husband had deserted
hor, might he not legitimately aspire to possess

Dick to anticipate witlt feverish impatience

finitely less agitated, and, after n few words
of greeting, she conducted him to her cabin,
where they could converso undisturbed.
"I havo a confession to umko to you,
Dick," she said, facing him with composure.
" 1 have already mado mine, Ada," began
Dick, unsteadily.
" Listen to whnt I hnvo to say first, Dick,"
said his cousin, beforo ho could proceed.
" Von believe that I um about to proceed to
Australia alone,"
As sho spoko, Mrs. Mnyhlossom, half in
voluntarily, poihnps. laid her hand lightly
upon n pflo of luggugu which encumbered
tho bunk beside winch she was standing, and
Dick recognied, with u start, n man's hat"

" Is this your cabin?" ho inquired, turning
palo.
" Yes, it is mine." sho nnswered.
"And those things?" ho interrogated,
quite sternly, with it glance nt tho compro
mising items,
" 1 told you I tus not going nlono, Dick,"
said Ids cousin, blushing somowliat; "these
things belong to my husband."
" To Mayblossom 1 " cried Dick. " Is ho
going with you?"
"ios. lie is in the saloon outside. Do
wish to see him?" inquired his cousin, a
little sharply.
"Aro you, then, reconciled? Hnvo yon
forgiven him ?" said poor Dick.
" There ns nothing to forgive," returned
his cousin, lifting her handsome head, nud
looking nt Dick a little scornfully. " Ho was
ever the truest nud best of husbands. You
never liked him, and wero ready to beliovo
tho worst."
"llut but tho'letter which you showed
mo, " cried Dick, reddening,
"Ho wrote it by my dictation. Itwasmv
own composition," said Mrs. Mayblossom, in
a hard voico.
"Thon your your grief, your distress,
your agitation " murmured Dick.
" Wero all assumed," sold Mrs. Mayblos
som, mercilessly. " My husband heard
everv word through the foldlng-doors."
"It was a triok, then n plotl" exclaimed
