SELEGTED STORY.
A L'lnlu Olrl.
I nm a vory ordluary glil, wlth plain
faco nnil r. nartlcular cotnponBatlng
ndvantagep.
Rupert Donison ls ofton at our
houso. That ho lovos Phylll8 is quito
cortnin, and thnt rhyllis lovos him la
cqually boyond doubt.
My tnonoy? Oh, yosl I havo money.
Flonly. Moro than I know what lo do
wlth. But no ono 1b awaro of thls ox
copt my BolicltOTB, n Londou flrm, and
uiy brokore, a London bnuk. So thnt
thoro 1b no dnngcr of tho truth lonking
out ns thoro would bo if my ngouta
woro local pcoplo. Why I nm nt auch
pnins to couccal thlsfnct I wlll explain.
Tho plan orlgtnatod wlth my doar fa
thcr, who ha8 now beon dcad for up
ward of n ycar. My mothcr, I may
montlon In paaBlng, dlcd whon Phyllis
was born. Pcoplo who know my fathor
prior to hla borcavomont havo often
told mo how dovotcd ho was to my
mother and hov tromondous au effcct
hor doath had upon hlm. They havo
moro thau hinted that hla brnln wns
pormanontly ufTectcd by that aorrow,
and tbat tho hugo flnanclal lossos
-which nftorward ovortook hlm woro in
no small mcnsuro duo to his thorcby
impnircd intolllgonco.
Thoao Iosbgb, howovor, woro com
parativoly rccont. Thoy occurrod
whon 1 was aevonteon. Till thon wo
had lived in a largo house, with many
aorvants, horsca and carringes. But
withln a fow weeka all was changod.
A bank wlth whlch my father waa
dooply involvcd failod. Wo had to
loavo tho big houao and all tho luxu
ries wo had hithorto onjoycd and to
tnko a vory tiny houso indeod, thls
same house, in fnct, whoro Phyllis nnd
I atill livo. I romombor ofton hcaring
my father say at tho timo that ho waa
thnnkful enough to havo been nblo to
pny hiB liabilities nnd to havo savod
oven 5,000 or 0,000 out of tho
wreck, and I remembor, too, its strik
ing mo tbat ho boro his ruin not mere
ly with fortitudo, but uctually with
cbccrfulnese, and that he eecmed quito
as happy in our humblo homo, waitod
on by ono maid, as I had evor known
him in our big houso with a scoro of
servants nt his call and overy luxury
that monoy could buy.
It ia hardiy neceasury to say that our
como dowu in tho world had tho usual
cffect of separating our frienda from us
in tho moat complete and accurate man
ner. A fow atuck to ua from tho llrst.
A fow droppcd ub from tho llrst. These
werc tho foblish amoug them, in oppo
slto extremte. For as it is fooliBhly
quixotic lo stick to a ruinod friend so
it is foolishly indecent to drop him out
of hnnd. Wiso folk do what tho ma
jority of our frienda did. They just
alacked off a little, and then a little
more, and bo on, by decent gradatione.
I had then many bosom frienda among
young girla in tho noighborhood. Ono
of them, named Laura Cleal, wrote to
me just after our change of fortuno to
say how aorry Bho was. Then she was
my ever loving friend. In her next
letter aho waa my very nffectionately,
then my nffectionately, nfter that my
sincerely. Today aho is my very truly
and has bcen bo any timo thcae sovon
years. Were it not for tho ordinary
requlrements of civility sho would
doubtlesB by this timo bo my obedient
)y. Laura Cleal of courao is only a
eample. I do not blamo any such
Laura ClealB, or tho mammas or gov
ernoesea who edited their lettera and
their affectiona. On tho contrary, I
nm truly thankful to havo beon let
down bo gradually. For without any
rudo ahock I havo found my proper
level, whicn, atter au, ia an oxceiient
thing for overy ono.
From tho timo of my father'a ruin
until I was twenty-ono tho tenor of my
lifo waa humdrum and uneventful.
But on my twenty-flrst birthdoy I had
an extiaordinary aurprise. At break
fast on that day nmong tho lotters and
packets lying round my plate tbero waa
a fat, bulky envelope addrcssed to mo
in my father'a handwriting. I opened
it flrst, I remembor, oxpecting to find
Bome eimplo birthday gift, Buch aa ho
had been accuBtomed to glve mo in
provioua years. You may judge of my
inexpresBible amazement when I pulled
out of tho envelopo a pile of bank notca
and saw that tho top one jvas for 1,000.
Speocblesa with aatoniBhment I looked
up at my father. He aat regarding me
across tho table wo were tete-a-tote,
for Phyllis waa staying away with a
curious, quiet amile.
"You aeem takon aback," aaid my
father. "Perhapa you did not expect
auch a bandaome present, Nell. And I
don't think you undorstand yet what a
handBomo proeent it ia. Count them,
child."
With trembling flngers and with a
strange, mazed Bensation, aa though I
were in a dream, I turned ovor tho notea
ono by one. No, nol It could not bo
truc could not bo true. Each noto waa
for tho eame amount, 1,000, and 1 had
counted 100 of them. One hundred
tbousand pounds lying there beforo me
on my platol It was abaurd, ridiculoua,
impoaaiblol
"They are aro not real," I gasped.
"This is a hoax a jeat, father."
"Thoy aro real onough, Nell," ho
nnawered. 'asif you took them to tho
Bank of England you would soon flnd,
and this is no hoax or jest, my dear.
That ia good money, Nell, and I havo
given it to you for your very own."
"But whore haa it como from, fath
er?" I cried, "and why havo you
given it all to me?"
"It ia my money, Nell," ho aald. "I
havo realized all, or noarly all, my in
vestments In ordor to mako you thia
proBontto-dav."
I wob Btlll fncredulouB, unablo to be
liovo tho ovidonco of my oyea or eara.
"But but I thought wo woro poor,
fathor, I thought"
"Exaetly, my dear. Everybody
thought bo. Everybody thinka bo. L1b
ten, Nell. I havo soraething to tell you,
My I0S8OB four years ago woro novor
anything liko bo oxtenBlvo ns pcoplo im
aglned. It wna bollovod that tho bulk
of my proporty waa InveBted in that
bank. As a mattor of fact I had boon
qulotly unloading my BhareB for aomo
timo proviously, and tho amount I
dropped by tho amaBh wne inaldo 30,
000, but it occurred to me it was au
odd notlonjto occur, too that it mlght

iuto tho beliof thnt I waa ruined and
seo what tho effect would bo upon
them. Aa a man of tho world I didn't
oxpect very much of humnu naturo, but
I am bound to say I was hardiy pre
parcd for the pitiably mean mnuncr in
which at leaat ninoty per cent of my in
tiniates bohaved to me after my sup
poaod Bmnah, and I was looking for
wnrd with eomo malicious cnjoyment
to reauming my forrner ttatus of n
wealthy man and sccing how they
would manago to crnvvl or wigfeio back
into their old intimacy with me when
ono day I happencd to ovorhenr a cou
versation botweon two ladiea of our ac
quaintnnce (onco our bosom frienda),
who sball bo uamclcss, Nell, a couver
sation wbich set mo thinkins of other
mnttcrs, and after duo rclloction iu
duced mo to change my plnua.
"You wero tho subject of that con
versation, Nell, and what do you think
theao mntrons wero aaying of you, my
child? Ono of them remnrked tbat aho
had alwaya thought what a good 'spcc'
you would bo for her eldest boy, and
thnt it wna tho cruelcat of shocks to her
to lind thnt you wero merely tho dnugh
tcr of a pauper. And tho other told
her aho ought to bo thankful that things
had gone no further, for if tho araaeh
had bcen deleycd a little longer then
you, Nell, might havo been cngaged to
her aon, and thoro would havo bcen a
dreadful complicntion. Thereupon tho
lady for whoBO Bon you had been mark
ed out, my dear, was good enough to
pity you. 'Poor child,' she aaid, 'with
her plain face, sho will never marry
now."'
I llusbed whon my father told mo
that and tho toara started to my eyes.
I know that my looks aro homely as
well as any ono and it was fooliah of
mo to bo hurt. But I could not help it.
My dear father aaw, and ho cauie round
to me and took my unattractivo face
betwcon his hands.
"Well," ho aaid, amlling into my
tearful eyea very fondly. "I did not
think to wouud vou, little womnn. Tho
criticiBms of such contemptible crea-
tureB are never wortli mlnding. And
if your faco is not beautiful, doar (with
auch worda was my fondly piejudiced
old father plcaaed to comfort me), it is
better than beautiful. It is bonest and
tendor and true, and I would not havo
it differont for all the world."
I dried my tears and smiled and kias
ed him. I know tho enconium waa un
deserved. But I knew tbat my fathor
meant what he aaid, nnd it ia a comfort
to bo loved by some one bo much tbat
he Beea ono differont from what one is.
Nowadays there is no ono Beesme thua.
After that ho aaid:
"Nell, my dear, when I ovorheard
theao remarka which I have told you it
at onco aet me tbinking about your fu
turo, and I camo to the conclusion that
you should not bocomo 'a good speo'
for money hunters. Girls nro oaBily do
ceivod, my dear, especially when they
nro juBt on tho thresbold of life, and
theae Beheming fellowa aro mighty
clever at foigning love nnd devotion.
No, nol You nre not to ho mnrried for
your monoy. You aro to bo married for
yourself, and yoursolf olone. I detor
mined that I would eee to that as for as
I could. With that ond in viow I kopt
up our Bemblanco of poverty, Nell I
havo kopt it up until this minuto, nnd
I wlsh to keep it up atill until tho right
mnn comea, Nell, tho man who ia good
enough to approciato and lovo you, tho
man who ahall mako you truly happy.
You deserve him, Nell, you desorvo tbo
best husband that the world has to of
for." (Dear, blind, fooliah old fathor
thus to apeok of poor comoionplaco me!)
"And eomo day sorao (ay ho will
corae."
"I I don't want to raarry, fathor,"
I eaid, Bmiling, yot greatly touchcd by
his deop concern for my welfaro. "I
have you. You aro bottor than any
husband, doar."
"Evon if I wero," ho answerod, "I
ahall not livo forever. Nay, Nell, I
Bhall not livo much longer. My henlth
is breaking now, ns I can feel, aud thut
is why I hnvo mado this monoy ovor to
you now, my child. You nro lo como
with mo to London to-da'y. You nro
to havo it all invested in your unmo.
It ia to bo yours from to-dny nbaolutoly,
and whon I dio tho cstato that I ehnll
lonvo wlll be just n fow thousanda
notbing moro, ond no ono wlll ovor
gueBB that you havo 100,000 of your
own, my doar. But promiso mo, Nell,
promiao mo for I know thnt you will
do what you prpmlso that until tho
right man comos and loves you and
oncn nnd
makoa you his wlfo you will koop tbo
oxislenco of thls monoy just ns doad a
sccrot as lt has beon hithorto I"
I tried to dlssuado my father from
hla Bchomo. I trlcd to say that I would
not tako tho monoy. But ho was so
sot upon it, so cngor, ao inalatont, thnt,
to pleaso him, I at lnst gnvo way.
And so it is without any ono kuowing
it I am now absolulo miatrcsa of a largo
fortuno a fortuno which with ita accu
mulatlou of unspont incomo Is growing
overy yoor. And I slill livo wlth Phyl
lis in thc samo Bmrll houso and tho
snmo small wny. And tho right man
has not como and mnrried mo. And I
know that now ho novor wlll.
JTos, I know it too woll. Thoro Is
only ono who could bo tho right man
for mo. And ho . But no, I will not
say lt. I will try not evon to thlnk it.
It is moan, pitiablo, wickod to bo joal
ous of my littlo slstor, and in this caso
abaurd elso, for evon if thoro woro no
Phyllis how should handsomo Rupert
ovor givo a thought to ugly mo? I wlll
choko down this fooliah onvious wcak
ncss, and whon ho spoaks and makoa
Phyllis happy I will bo glad and rojoico
with with all my heart.
At last I think 1 havo found out why
Ilupert haa not spokon to Phyllis. It
is curious that I havo not thought of it
bofore. Buport has no monoy, nothing
boyond his pay as managlng clork in n
country solicllor's ofllco. It ia only
250 a ycar, and he does not liko doos
not think it fnir to ask hor to marry
him whon ho can offer her nothing bot
tor than tbat.
Why cannot somo ono re-adjust tho
bnlnncos?
Somoone? Who? Why not I?
How can I hesitato? I will go up and
seo my eolicltor today.
I bavo bcen. I havo soon him. I
am auro ho thought mo quito idiotic.
At flrst ho tried to poohpooh my
8cbcmo, but whon ho found mo ineis
tent ho agrecd to do what I wishod.
Tho only diillculty waa to givo Rupert
tho flnnncial lift ho noeded without lot
ting him know tho aourco from which
it camo, but nftor somo rtflection my
eolicltor thought it could bo mnnaged.
He ia pcreonnlly intimatc, it accms,
with tho head of Rupert'a flrm, nnd ho
cousidored that if aufliclcnt capital
wero forlhcoming arraugcmonts might
bo mado with him fortaking Ilupert in
to pnrtnership. This socmed as practi
cablo a schcme na any. And 1 havo
left it with him to make thc ncccssary
arraugoment, stipulating that sufllcient
capital must bo laid out for Rupert'a
beneflt to insurc a roturn of at least
1,000 per annum.
Threo wceks havo passed ainco thcu.
I hoar from my aolicitor that raattors
havo beon aatisfactorily arrangcd. I
should havo gueascd it evon if I had
not hoard from him, for Rupert, who
haa been bero overy day for the last
four or flvo dnye, haa beon, as I could
seo, bubbling ovor with joyful yot half
supprcaaed excitement. II 0 has not
apokento Phyllis yet, but ho ia coming
again this afternoon, und I am suro ho
mcans to speak then, for thero was
Bomethiug in his manner of announc
ing his intended visit for todny that
said so plaiuly. Ah, thero he ib now
coming up the road. I must run and
flnd Phyllis. Pbyllia must be alono to
rcceivo him whon ho comes in. How
tireaomol How annoyinel I cannot
flnd Phyllia any wherc. What can havo
becomo of her? Thero ia Rupert ring
ing tho bell now. Phylli8l Phyllial
She ia no whero in tho house, it Bcoms.
Sho must havo gono out, nnd yot sho
knew Rupert was coming, and eho
must havo guoseed from bis manner
why. PorhapB sho did not oxpect him
quito ao oarly. I muat go down aud
tulk to Rupert till aho comes in.
How blue tho sky is thiB afternoon.
How bright tho sunshines. How

lifo is delicious on a day liko this, and
there is an intoxicating joy in every

today overy one overy one. Do you
know why? It is all because somo ono
lovea mo.
Yes, would you beliovo il? Rupert
loved mo from tho flrst. And Phyllis
knew and sho nover told me. Sly littlo

GOOD COOKBHY.
(Copyrigbt.)
My Dear Dorothy:
The vacatlon season ls over, tho chll
drcn are back In school and wcll pettled
at their studles, nnd now comes thetlmc
when every housewife ls conslderlng thc
subject of preservlnfj and pickltng. Tc
be sure, the season for pri'serving ber
rlos is past, but the frults, grapes, pennt,
peaches, crnbnpples, etc, ls with us, nnd
so I nm golng to glve you some lespnns
Which I have lenrned from experience.
In the flrst plnce, remember that the
more perfect the fruit the better will hr
the iireserves; you need not expect good
rerults If you usc "specked" frult. It s
better to use unripe frult rnther thnn
that whlch Is overrlpe. Uvery cooklng
utensll must be of wood, sllver, granito
ware or pnrcclaln ware. An iron spoon
and a tln kettlu would ruin frult grown
for the gods. Some people try to ecnno
mlze by uslng a cheap graJe of sugnv.
It ls of no use. Remember tho old say
Ing. "The best Is none too Bood." Still
another trulsm, "Old rubbors are wortli
less." Itemember it, and gct new jnt
tubbcrs. If you use old jars cleansf
them thoroughly wlth hot sonp suds, !n
whlch a little ammonla has been poured.
Then to test the jurs to see that no nit
wlll escape, flll them half full of water
put in the rubber band, udjust the cov
ers und then tlp the jars bottom slde ur
on a dry cloth for a few mlnutcs. If anj
water escnpes try another rubber.
Peaches, qulnces nnd pears, as well a
all hand frults, should bo pared wlth a
sllver knlfe, sllced thln and covered
wlth cold wnter to prevcnt their becom
liiR dark. 1'lums and a!l kinds of grapes
must be stemmed and mashed. Pears
and qulnces should be cooked In cleat
water, then dralned on a naplcln; flll
the Jars wlth the frult and cover wlth
a syrup, made by pourlnjj bolllng watei
over sug-ar. Peaches, plneapples an'l
Bartlett pears requlre half a pound ol
sugar to each quart of frult; plums
hand pears, prunes nnd qulnces musl
have three-quarters of a pound of sugri
to each quart of frult. Flll the jars wlth
the raw frult, cover wlth tho syrup and
then set them In a washboller, not nl
lowlnt; one jar to touch another. Covei
the jars to the neck wlth tepld wate
put on the bollor cover and botl gently
but stendlly. Plneappless wlll requlre
about 20 mlnutes' cooklng, but 1C mln
utes wlll be sulllclent for all the othet
fruits mentloned. A pound of sugar
and a half plnt of bollingr water Is tli s
right proportlon for syrup, and the wh'te
of an eprg added before lt beglns to bo!'
wlll ald In maklng tt clear If the scum U
removed as lt rlses.
To cover Jelly use melted paraphlne.
Pour lt over perfectly cold jelly and It
wlll form a thln crust, whlch wlll com
pletely exclude the alr.
I thlnk wlth these suggestlons you wlll
be able to make your fall preserves all
right; but I want to glve you an excel
Ient rule for making cucumber plckles,
Small cucumbers, from two to four
tnches long, make the best plckles. Al
low a plnt of salt to 150 cucumbers, dls
solved In enough water to cover them;
let them soak In thls for two days, keep
ing them covered; then remove, draln
and wlpe each one carefully; now pul
them ln a stone Jar wlth a little alum,
mlxed splces, cloves, pepper, allsplce
Rnd a blt of onlon, and cover wlth hot
vinegar. If you prefer. udd stick cln
namon and white mustard seed, but put
the splces in several little bags made ol
thln muslln; thls prevents the vinegni
becomlng muddy and the splces eatinfl
the cucumbers. If you wish the plckles
to be partlcularly splcy, let the sploe
bags boil ln the vinegar for 10 mlnutes.
Now is the tlme for you to look aftei
green tomutoes for plcalilli. An excel
lent reclpe for thls rellsh was given m
by your Aunt Jessle, and I nm sure you
wlll flnd lt aH right.
Slice u peck or green tomatoes, twelve
onlons, ono green pepper and one red
one, and sprinklo over them one cup oj
salt. nnd let tht mlxture stnnd fot
twelve hours; then draln off the llquld
add a tnbk'spoonful each of groutul
cloves, allsplre and clnnamon and three
quarters of a cup of grated horseradlsh.
Pour over thc uhole threo quarts oj
vlnegur, slmincr four hours, stlrring oc
caslonally, and put ln Jars whllo hot.
I feel quit.' suru If you follow thesi'
suggestlons you wlll have tho best of
success. Hut nlways romeniber one
thlng there Is no stfch thing as "luck"
m preservlng. and there Is no such word

For a tlred out father I know of no plan
That's so good as to f rollc llke tbla when he can.
And now quito good-humored I did a queer thlng ,

And I feared that at once aome dlre vengeance
