SELEGTED STORY,
llls llrsl Wifo.
Mullson Janoway was alwaya polnt
od out as a " solf-mado raan," nnd waa
npparontly well Batieflcil with his own
handiwork, for content rndlntod from
his full faco nud from bis ilgure, wbich
had IobI Us youthf ul musclc under creop
iug wavos of flesh. Mr. Jnnowny hnd
Buiisllcd his ambitlons bb fnrns it is pos
slblo for n man to do. Fortunately ror
bis contont, tbcso nspiratlouB woro of
tbo klnd tbnt aro nioat oftcn rcnllzed.
IIo had n lmndsomo wifo nnd tbrco
brlght childron; bo waa proaidont of
tbo Stnto bank, nn inatitutiou known to
foundcd on tbo rook of souud flnanco:
bo bad boon mayor of Suowanoo, and
wns n mombor of tbo Lcglslaturo. So
niuch of oarlbly glory bad fallon to bis
ebnro.
Whon bo road tbo obituary of nu
otbcr Bolf-mndo mnn, ho nlwnys nodded
hla bond spgoly, as mucb as to say, " 1
know how it gocs; I atartcd with noth
ing myaolf." In fact, Mr. Janowaya'a
olcction to tbo Legialaturo camo of tbo
admiration tho clectora bad for a mnn
of tbo pcoplo. Wbon his constitueuta
birod a band and wont to congratulato
him, thoy found bim rcady wltb n
apccch. IIo said: " Follow-citizenB, I
will not try to bido from you my doep
gratiflcatiou nt tbo rcault of tbo olcc
tion. I wanted to bo clcctcd. I bavo
wantcd a good many things, and I'vo
gouorally got tbom, but not witbout
working. I atartcd with nothing; I
did cborca for my keep; I wont to
school whon I could, picked up a penny
bcro and a ponny thoro; 1 did any hon
cat work tbnt I could ilnd. Aud whoro
am I now? Prcaidont of a bank, cx
rnayor and a mombcr of tho L?gisla
turo. I tbank you, fricnda, for your
votea, yct I feel that I bavo won my
own wny; that I am ono, a privato per
baps, in tho great nrmy of self-mado
mcn." IIo bowcd, and rotirtd amid
loud applauso. In anotbor thia spocch
would bavo provoked criticiam, but ono
of tho privilcgc8 of tbo self-mado mnn
is to praise bis mnko witbout Btint.
Mr. nnd Mrs. Jnnoway had but just
como from n visit to tboir own houso,
wbich tboir nrchitect assurcd tbom waa
in tho purcst atylo of tho Gothic rcnais
anncc. But tboy woro aurc, too, which
accmcd to tbcm of fnr moro imporlnnco,
that it waa tho flncat houso in town,
nnd quito cclipscd Mr. Morgan'a red
brick manBion.
They wero to movo into it at onco,
nnd Mrs. Jnnoway wont about tbo old
houso planning what should bo left be
bind, as not coming up to tbc nrtistic
stnndnrd of tho new placo. "Como
boro a minuto, Madison," sho callcd
from an ob3curo ontry back of tho din-ing-room.
Mr. Jnnowny laid down bis pnpcr
nnd wont to her, followcd by Florry,
tbeir youngcst child. "What ia it, my
denr?" he nskcd.
"Hadn't I botlcr pack this away?
Tho framo's bo shabby tbnt it isn't llt
for tho now houso. " Sho pointed to a
fadcd photograph hnnging in a dark
corncr. It wns tbo likencss of n plain
woman, with a broad moutb, and oyes
widcly soparated; tho liair was parted
nnd drnwn back from tbo forohead liko
two curtaina; a watcb cham picked out
in gilt oncircled her neck, and bcr lips
and cheeks woro louchcd by carmino,
giving tho faco n ghastly protence of
life.
Mr. Janoway stnrcd nt it meditativo
ly. "I hadn't noticed it for n long
timo, ho said.
"Who ia that lady, papa?" Florry
aakcd, looking nt tho picturo na if aho
anw it for tho flrst timo.
"Why, Florry, that waa my flrat
wifo," he anawered, aurprisod that aho
had not known it beforo.
"Waa she my mnmmn, too?"
"No, no," ho ropliod, hnstily; "aho
waa Sarah Deoring."
"Wasn't abo any relation to mo?" tho
child peraiated. Sho wns but eight
years old, and tho ramiflcationB of kin
ahip woro yet a myatery to hor.
'Of courao not," hor mother aaid
rathor aharply. "Your papa waa mnr-
ried to ber when ho wna very young
long beforo ho livod horo or know mo.
I thougbt you hnd henrd that before."
Sho turned to ber huabnnd. "Madison,
sball I lay thia picturo away?"
Mr. Janoway looked at hor atten
tively. Waa it zeal, or an nrtistic aenae,
or wns thoro a lurking jcalousy of tho
woman who had como beforo? " Pack
it away if you liko," he aaid, turning
away. " It is ahabby."
Long af ter his children and wifo wero
aleoping, Mr. Janoway aatamoking, and
thinking complaccntly of his buccobs.
He, Madison Janoway, had bcgun with
nothing, and at llfty ho had won tho
thinga ho had longed for at twenty.
Tbo opening and cloBing of tho door
attractod at his attention. IIo looked
up
A woman walked ncross tho room a
plain woman, with an honest, ugly faco
and a short. thick fleurc.
" Who aro you?" Mr. Janoway aaked,
irowning nt nor lnuuaion.
"Don't you know me, Maddy?" Bhe
rcturned.
IIo waa Btartlcd when Bbo called bim
Maddy it waa moro than twenty yeara
aince ho hnd bcon called tbat. " Are
you arc you but you can't be Sarah,"
ho atnmmcrcd; "sbo hna boen dcad
tboao many years."
" I atn Sarah," sho anBwored. " You
bavo changed, Maddy."
"Yes, yes. Wo aro apt to," ho re
plied uneasily. " But you look juat
tho aamo." IIo anid this to seo if sho
would nccount for hor prosenco.
" Tho livlng can only boo tho dcad na
tboy wero in life," she returnod.
" You aold tho farm, dldn't you?"
Mr. JnnewnV folt as if a renroach lay
in tho obBorvation. " Yea, I eold tho
larm," ho said. " I ncoded tho monoy
to nut m other inveatmenta."
" I worked hard on that placo," sho
said, crossing hor hands very rough,
worn bands. " I worked hard thoro
thoso yoars, I tricd to aavo all I could,
Alauuy."
" You woro a good wifo, Sarah," ho
roplicd, "nnd both of ub hnd our bur-
dens, I cuess."
" And it waa my money tbat bought

And you aaid thatmyboingtbirty years

" Tho monoy that camo to mo juat be

"Yos yea, Sarnh. I know that I
owo much to you. Witbout your help
nnd monoy I should bavo bad a much
hardor timo gotting on my feot. Yet I
tbink I should bavo aucccodcd in any
casc." Mr. Janoway could not forbear
offoring thia tribute to his Belf-cstcom.
"However, I gratofully acknowlodgo
your nid, Sarnh."
"You hnvo nnothor wifo, now,
Maddy, nnd childron," sho said, " but I
wns flrat. I bolioved ln you, nnd I
worked for you, ob, so willinglyl I
know that you woro diffcrcnt from mo.
I know that you had hopca tbat stupid
Sarah could noverundcrataud. I know
that I was your companion iu your
work, but not in your bopos. I know
that wo wero growing farthor apart
ovory year that wo lived together. I
knew that wuilo I was gotting to bo
workod out and middlo-aged, you woro
only coming to your prime. I knew
that it was bcst that I dicd when I did
beforo I camo to be a drag on you.
Yet, Maddy, beforo hor and your chil
dren, 1 thinkyou ought not to shnmo
mo, for I wns your faitbful wifo, tho
wifo of your youth, and I gavo you all
I bad to give my monoy, my lovo, my
toil."
Boforo Mr. Janoway could answer
sbo was gono, and ho sat nlonc.
Tho nest dny, howovor, ho took tho
old photogrnph down town and ordercd
for it n corgoona framo. Whon it was
rcturned, ho hung it in his library,
whcro it looked slrangely alion botweon
a St. Cecclia nnd tho Arnbian Falconer,
bought at tho instigation of tbo archi
toct. Florry, with a child'a quickness, no
ticed tho flno gilt framo thatsurroundcd
tho ugly, good face. " What bavo you
dono to tbo lady7" Bhe askeu. " Aron't
you going to pack ber away, as mamma
said?"
"No; tho picturo is to atay hore. Do
you rcmember who I aaid it waa?"
"Yes; it waa your flrat wifo."
Mr. Janoway took her on biB knee.
" Floriy," ho began aobcrly, " when I
wns a "little boy, 1 waa very poor, aa
poor as tho Galts" n fnmily cele
brntcd in the town for ill luck nnd pov
erty. " I wont to Bchool when I could,
but tbnt wna mlghty little, for I hnd to
work moat of tbo timo. Somctimcs I'd
got mostdiscouraged, but I bad to work
Juat tho samo. One year I worked for
a man namcd Doering. Ho had a
daughtor, and when Bhe found how
much I wanted to go to school, she
lcnt mo aomo money monoy aho bad
aaved by pinching and scraping. Aftor
n wbile her fnther died, and sho mar
ricd mo. I had nothing, and sho owned
a cood farm, but aho married mo. Iu
six yonrB aho died and left evorytbing
to mo. Sho gnvo mo my Btart. She
was a cood woman, and bolioved in me
when nobody olso did. Tho othor
night papa dreamod that he saw her
and talked to ber, and it made bim feel
asnamcd tnat ne naa soomeu to lorgoi
her."
Mr. Janewav felt that he was mak-
ing a bnndsome repnrntion, but ho wns
a man who aimed to do right. It was
necesaary to his aolf-CBteem.
Tho child wriggled from his arma
and walkod away, with nn awod glance
atthe picturo.
Mr. Jnnowny atnred nt it muaingly.
" Aro you aatiaflod now, Sarah?" he
caught hlmBelf aaying. "Pahnwl Thnt
dream bolda to mo atill," ho exclaimcd,
" but, anyhow, I'vo dono hor justice."
And though the arohitect declared
that the photograph quito spoiled tho
effect of tho librarv. nnd bccKod thnt it
might be bnnisbod to aomo back room,
Mr. Janowav was flrni. and the dull.
good faco of his flrst wifo kopt its placo

MISCELLANY,
Mny Ti'outiug ln tbo Snow
"Iwnded tbrough biiow onco up to
my knooB to flsh for trout," snld n Now
York aporlBman, " nnd it wns tbo mld
dlo of Mny nt thnt, nnd not moro thnn
half n dny'a journoy from Now York.
Tho Btroam was in tho Pocouo Moun
talus, and I bad gono thoro on purposo
to cnjoy Bomo carly flshing. I got to
tho little backwoods vlllagc nt night
and woko noxt mornlng to flnd a cold
northeast rniustorm on band, and whon
I inquired for a guido to go wltb mo to
tbo strcam tho landlord of tho tavorn
looked at mo as if ho thougbt I wns
crnzy.
" 'You nin't goin' to try to kotch trout
to-dny, bo you?' ho nskod. 'Why,
you can't git no flsh worms yit, and tho
woods is full o'snow nnd tho crooks has
got ico on 'om.'
" ' I don't wont any worme,' I ro
plicd, Btniling nt tho thougbt. 1 1 flsh
with a fly.' I didn't beliovo his tnlk
nbout anow and ice.
' But trout won't jump at n fly yit,'
tho landlord inBialcd. You'vo got to
bavo worma.'
" I insietcd on going to tho creek, nnd
ho wont out nnd got n atrnpping big nn
tivo to oct aa guido. Tho guido him
aolf was Btaggcrcd at tho idoa of a
man's thinking of going out on auch a
dav. with the strcamB in tbo condilion
thov wero alloged to bo, to flsh for
trout, without worms for bait, but ho
nt last ngrecd to go on my paying him
$3 and lfnding him in rum, and wo
startcd. I found out from tho guido
on our way to tho crook that tho local
ancler ln tho troutinc rocions of nortb-
orn PonnBylvanin wns nlwnys rendy for
nction in tbo strcnms witn ms bnlt and
tacklo aa aoon aa tho law allowa flshing,
and, if tho conditiona woro favorablo,
bo was rendy a woek or bo before. He
U8ed tbo worm not bocauso ho could
not east tbo fly, but bccauso from timo
out of mind bo had atubbornly clung to
tho bclicf that trout would not riao
or jump, aa ho cxprcsscd it, to the
llv bo lonc aa thero was anow wator

bcon a raro thing for aportamcn from
tho citica to risk tbo discomforts and
uncortalntioa of a visit to it beforo May,
although tho lcgal oponing of the sca
son was on April 1. For this reason
tho streams had beon left to tho inroads
of tho local anglor, with his pole and
worm, for wecka at n time, and the na
tivo had never eeen anythine to alter
his beliof that trout would not jump to
a llv unuer tho conuitlons montioneu
It was my misBion, I think, to corroct
that olu-ttme ldea, and to sliow tuo na
tivo 8nortBman that ho didn't know as
much about trout ns bo thougbt ho did
"Wo orrived at tho brook about nino
o'clock in the morninc. It wns in good
condition aa to quantity of water, but
my heart aank witbin mo when I aaw
that the atory about tho anow and the
ice waa only too truo and it was the
lCth day of May, 1885. Tho most en
thusiastic anglor novor yet saw much
promlso of an enjoyable dny'a sport
while tvinc on his ilics stnnding nenriy
un to bis knces in anow, and gazing on
a Btrearu wttn deep Doruers or ico iring
inc it as far as tno eyo couiu aee, ea
pecially if ono of the coldeat and most
ponctrating of rainatorms waa pelting
furiously down upon him. My guido
tried to induco mo to return to tho
sholter of the tnvern at onco, but I hnd
travoled moro thnn ono hundred mues
to enjoy some early May trouting, and
I was bound to onioy it at loast I was
bound to have it.
"Woll. I flshed that creok moro than
a milo and a nair, anu i caugni soveniy
trout. But. bahl It was iuat nko catcn
iner suckers, nulling tbem out. I
wouidn't nave careu ior tno uiscomiori
of tho dav's flshinc if only the trout had
bccn capablo of acting up to tbeir na-
ture. I caueht ono trout tnat was ur
teon inches long, but ho had so httlo
flcht in him that I had no idca ho waa
of moro than ordinary sizo until I land
ed him. Tho trout took tho fly with ao
little animation that sometimes I
wouidn't know that my foather bad
boen touched, judging from any effort
tho trout would mako. Out of ono
pool, on the bank above which was tho
remains of a anowdrift tbat reached
ncarly to my waist, I stood and took
flftcon trout. ono aftor tho othor, liko
so many sticks. Then I quit in dis-
gust, and rejoined my guido, who had
and bullt a roanng flro in tho flre-
nlace.
"Whon wo got back to tho tnvern wo
found a group of woodsmen, nnd I hnd
hard work to convince thom that I had
caueht mv trout with n fly. The ovi
donco of the guido alono eBtablished
mv declaration. But tbat exporience
cured mo of n dosiro to onjoy enrly
trouting in such n region as that. I
havo been thoro many times since, but
novor beforo tho flrst of Juno. But I
flnd that the idca that trout will not
