MY SISTER'S GUITAR,
lh Kdyth Kikkwood.
Elvira loves to be in the fashion.
"What's tlio use of making your
selves odd ?'' she often says, reproach
fully, to lticardo and ine, although I
it in sure we don't mean to do so in the
least. " I'm the only one. of us," she
continues, "who is just like other peo
ple. I oIimtvo what is o'mg on in
the world, and adapt myself to the
mode
And so she was talking one day after
dinner, when we had mushed all our
little duties, and were free to follow our
devices for the rest of the day. Our
apartment but when I say apartment,
pray don't imagine that I want to make
you think we live on a French Hat, or
anything of that description is only
one modest second-story Hour in a large
house, where all the rooms not needod
by tlio owner herself are let to lodgers;
ami the house is always full. Our land
lady is no gossip, and we are just quiet
. home-folk ourselves (one of our oddities,
perhaps), and so we know very little of
the other lodgers. Our parlor, bed
rooms and little impromptu kitchen are
down here where 1 am writing; but our
brother's bedroom and studio is way up
at the top of the house I should say in
the attic, but for Klvira's sake will sub
stitute the word "mansard," which cer
tainly sounds better. And occasionally
Kicardo gives us a little news, such as,
"The front-room man sent down his
trunks this morning;" or, "The (icr
man violinist next to me played most
ravishingly yesterday afternoon," or
some such scrap as that ; perhaps if we
had taken more interest in the people
on his top Hour ho might haVe told lis
more, but for a long time we felt indif
ferent about them.
Hut I have wandered flights away from
what 1 was saying.
Elvira talked so much about fashion
that, after listening patiently for a reas
onable time, I answered:
What especial idea do you wish to
adopt now, that you harp so ou this one
theme?"
"Your expression is most happy,
Marcia," she returned urbanely beam
ing on me; "for it concerns music. In
short, banjos and string things. lain
going to buy one."
"One w hat, Elviia? Not a banjo sure
ly?" "They are the most fashionable," she
hesitated, "and 1 enjoy the extreme
height of what is iu vogue; but -1 fear
I could never become prolieit-nt. and I
shall buy a guitar; a second-baud one,
of course. "
And so, donning her hat and drawing
on her long giovt-N -he went out io make
her purchase, returning in an hour elate
with success.
Kicardo entered a moment after, car
rying a small pared. "Wi'll, "Viia."
lie cried merrily, "wiiere's the guitar?
Don't you knowtlrit it is tlio fashion for
people to carry such objects now? Why
didn't you bring it home?''
"It wanted stringing, and one of the
frets was broken."
Kicardo gravely placed his parcel in
her lap. "There is something for your
dinner to-ruorrow -a little tribute, a
small concession to style."
Elvira took oil' thepaperand disclosed
a can of string beans.
"String things are so fashionable,"
began Kicardo, meekly, "thai I thought
Hebriikeofl' suddenly and ran up
stairs, Elvira pursuiug.'and as 1 heard
their scampering feet on the oiled siair-
way, a very linn knock sounded at our
otin r door, and 1 opened it to see a for
eign-looking man bearing an enormous
iiJMrumeni in a uarK ana iieavy-iooumg
case, lie rai-eii his hat, muttered some
thing tiriinteliigililc, placed the cast
carefully ijidc the door, made another
obeiMinee, .-Hid some more outlandish
words, and departed swiftly, leaving
me circling around the weird object iu
uazcii womler. t.ouhl such a ponder
ous instrument be used bv ulady, and
was Elvira so infatuated by her desire
to be n la mode as to buy t ho horrible
looking thing! And would she never
come down-stairs. I felt half afraid to
be left alone with it.
Half-an-boiir passed, and my impa
tience could no longer bear it. "I locked
the door, and mounted the stairs to my
brother's studio. As I went tip I heard
strains of the niot enchanting music,
interrupted by loud talking and impa
tient tones, and as I entered I saw Kic
ardo standing In fore his eastd, looking
now at his work wit ) tin air of satisfac
tion, and now at Elvira, as she stood
with her oar against the wall of the next
room. The can of string beans was roll
ing over the floor.
Oh, sister! said Elvira in a loud
whisper, as she saw nie approach,
delightful! I think Kicardo might

leivii
told us that there were musical meet
ings ami rehearsals up here."
"I did begin once or twice," retorted
our brother, "but you didn't take any
Interest. Hut why don't they begin in
there, 'Vira?"
"I can't exactly make out," she re
plied; "some fuss about an instrument
that basil t come, or a wrong Instru
tiietit left, or something like that. They
are going to defer the rehearsal, and
Homebody has gone to make iniitiirles."
A noise of a door opening nod closing
and descending footsteps followed these
worn, and then the door opened again
and a voice cried down: "'lell Haphaelo
mat we u sent hack this tuneless old
piltar when hn sends us the 'cello; we
nave enougn kituuing wood on hand
without it. "Ha, ha, ha!"
The meeting then seemed to break up,
and t ho people dispersed; and then I
told Elvira that a largo case had arriv
ed, and was on the floor down-stairs.
She could hardly wait for the musi
cians to get out of the way, she was in
such a haste to go down, and iu a mo
ment or two we wero all in the room
where the huge instrument lay.
"Ye powers!" exclaimed Kicardo,
aghast at tho sight of the case.
Elvira's eves wero wide with astonish
ment, "Wrial is the baleful thing any
way?" she asked, touching it delicately
with her little foot, as if she thought it
might bite. "And where did it come
from?"
"A foreign-looking man, very respect
ful, but wholly incomprehensible, left
it about half an hour before I went up
stairs," I replied. "It looks like those
monstrous atl'airs they use iu tho or
chestras. Are you sure it is the fashion,
Elvira dear?"
"I should hotie not," she replied,
looking wrathful ly at Kicardo, who was
chuckling over her discomfiture. "1
wonder why they didn't scud mo a
brass horn or a trumpet," she added,,
impatiently,
"Or a bass drum," suggested Kicar
do. "Mighn't it possibly be the missing
'cello that caused the disturbance up
stairs?" he observed, thoughtfully, al
ter his mirth, and 'Vim's wrath, and my
surprise had subsided.
And, as if in reply, came a distinct
rap at tho door, "and I believe wo all
started, as if wo thought it had come
from something inside the black case.
Kicardo opened the door. Then! stood
a large, fair gentleman, w hom he intro
duced at once as Professor Felix. Th
latter bowed, as ho said, "There ha
been some mistake about a musical in
strument, and this man here," pointing
to an unintelligible: foreigner, who stood
grinning and bowing behind him, "says
no left a valuable 'cello here to-day bv
mistake for this guitar. Will vou tell
nie if this is Hue?"
Explanations followed, and the gen
tleman was about totake his leave when
lkiseycs fell on Elvira, who was hugging
her recovered treasure with unconceal
ed rapture.
"That pleases you?" he asked, with
surprise.
"Delights me, enchants me, satisfies
me," she returned, valiantly braving
his scorn. "Hut when I know how to
play, perhaps 1 shall use it for "kind
ling wood!' "
"My sisters were in my studio," said
Ricardo, apologetically, "ami heard
your remark. You were talking pretty
lotiil, you know.
"And besides," added Elvira, reck
lessly, "I had my ear against the wall,
so as not to lose a note of that heavenly
music."
"Ah!" he looked mollitied. "Have
you a teacher?"
"Not yet."
"I am a violinist myself." he said,
smiling, "but I understand the guitar
as well. If Mm require my services at
any time I shall be happy to lieconre
your instructor."
"But, professor," blundered Ricardo,
"you refused half-a-dozen pupils the
other day, and you told me you didn't
mean to teach any more!"
"That was for the violin," he return
ed quickly, while the color deepened in
his fair cheeks; "it will be a novelty
and a rest for me to teach the guitar,
and and. iu short. I make an excep
tion." He bowed himself out .
, "Well. Elviia," cried Kicudo, "you
will have every chance of being in the
mode, for fashion kneels at tho feet of
Hcrr Professor Felix."
"His charges will be too high," said
Elvira decidedly, and for awhile the
matter dropped.
One day, however, the professor hand
ed Kicardo a card for his sister, on
which he had written his temis. Ho of
fered to give her lessons for the sum us
ually asked by ordinary teachers, and
Ids kindness was gratefully accepted.
Thus it was that he became fust her in
structor and then the friend of us all.
"Elvira," I said one day, "I never
should have believed so small an instru
ment could groan, and twang, and
shriek as that one does. Why do you
make it give that weary wail?"
"That," replied my 'sister loftilv, "is
tho glissando-the slide, if you prefer
English. I am practicing 'it, and al
though it hurts the fingers a little, it is
very pretty when well done - like a scale
with the notes nil melted together. Ilni
whatever is the mailer with tin' rub
bishy thing," she continued; "I have
tuned and tuned till my car is confined.
1 wish I might have had a more modern
guitar, these old-fasliioiicd tuning
screws must have been invented when
sin tirst entered the World. I ought to
have a guide to help nie about tuning,
(io out and buy nil? one, Kicardo; won't
yon?"
Kicardo laid down his book good-naturedly,
took up his hal, and said.
"What do you want? A tuning-fork?"
"Tuning-fork!" relumed Elvira, dis
dainfully. "Tuning-fork indeed! A
pitch-pipe in A.
"Oh!' and he departed.
Elvira fussed over her instrument un
til he came back, which lie did verv
shortly with heightened color and nil
amused expression.
"Winy think what 1 d d " ho exclaim.
ed. "I must have been mixcd-im In..
tween my fnrk and your pipe, f,,r I
iiiarcneii inio me music store annuel
the corner, and asked the oiin.r ladv
who wails there for- you'll never be
liee me, but I really did it -for a
pitchfork!"
"You didn't!" What did she sav?"
"I verily did. She looked at me for
a moment, and then gravely asked me
if it was the name ol a new piece of
music or a song. She hadn't heurd of
it if it was. I managed to explain what,
i meant, and 1 hurried out, hut not
quickly enough to avoid hearing a
smothered giggle from behind the coun
ter. There's your pitch-pipe; catch!"
We laughed a good deal over Kicar
do's mistake, so much indeed that he
became rather grumpy about il, and
look himself oV to Ids own room, width
crwe followed him later in the afternoon,
with a peaee-otVering cake oil a lovely
painted plate,
The professor was plnvhijjlti the next
room, and Elvira stepped M up to
tho door to listen.
"Heller not lean too heavily against
the next door," cautioned our brother,
"it has no fastening on this side at all.
Bnd I have an idea ll isn't very safe,"
Elvira, 1 must admit, is a iri'tlo will
ful; but whether Kicai'do's warning
came too lai", or whether sho leaned
her whole weight on the slight partition
to test ii, i m sure i can l tell; all 1
know is, that the next instant the door
burst open and sho executed a living
leap into the (Jorman gentlonian's
room, landing in a heap in the middle
of his floor.
We were all three by her side in a
moment, nut she rofe at once and
though quivering with fr'urht and pain
began to laugh nervously and apologize
ior r.cr unceremonious intrusion.

1 lie ptolessor, gently pushing Iter in
to his most comfortable chair, gallantly
declared himself too much honored bv
her presence loqiiarrel with her method
ot elh'ciing an entrance. "At thesanie
time," lie added, "I could wish for
your own sake, my dear voting ladv,
that vou had managed to introduce
yourself in a fashion less painful and
e.xcinng io your own nerves.
He placed chairs for Kicardo and me,
and lit a spirit-lamp on a side table
"What is that for?" asked Elvira,
furtively rubbing ;i bruised elbow.
"There is nothing better than a cup
of eollec for shaken nerves," he replied
"and we Germans like cotl'ee at fouro".
clock. I make myself a cup even day
at this hour, and to-day 1 am going to
make f mi'."
He managed everything witli neatness
and skill. When he had tilled ihe per
colator be produced dainty cups and
saucers, and pros-od his ho-piiaiily so
warmly and gracefully that e began
to feel less ashamed of ourselves and to
think belter of Elvira's eccentric per
formance. "1 wish," said Elvira, very timidly for
her, "that I dared to suggest that mu

co lice - is extremely soothing to a shock
ed system. Marcia insists on my ob
serving strict etiquette with you, Mr.
Felix, and because you arc a celebrity
and a professional, she has positively
forbidden niu to ask ym to play; but as
I have bad a very bad fall from trying
to steal this delight. ierhaps vou "
"With all the pleasure in life," he
answered, as she hc-diated. And then
followed ono of liic most delightful
hours we had ever spent.
At last, with many thanks, we took
cur leave. When we reached our own
rooms K.vira confessed that she had
twisted urc ankle, and bumped her el
bow, and felt sore bun head to foot.
She hobbled about for awhile, and then
gave up and wi-ni o bed, where she had
lo stay two days before the soreness
passi-d.
The professor slopped in the morn
ings to ask after her. Tne third morn
ing he did not call, and my sister, for
some reason or ot her, was so nervous
and irritable that I was ready to lose
patience, when the taniiliar knock
sounded, and there si nod Mr. Feiiv
beaming at nie, his viul.n in one hand,
and a bunch of fragrant, dewy violets
in the oliier.
"I am come to beg a favor, Miss Ma.
cia." he said to me have half an
hour to spare; pray allow me to nit in
your parlor and play for oii. Perhaps
Miss Elvira might leave her door open
and tin I it a relief from the monotony.
And Ihese violets I beg her lo accept."
Elvira's crossness had vanished by the
time 1 gave her the flowers. Sue sent
back a prcliy message, and the next
dav she got no and declared herself
well.
Professor Felix was glad to see her
when he called the next day. This time
he was currying a growing plant in a
pretty ll i'.vcr p it.
"Wlia is it asked Elvira.
"Myrile," he replied. "We Germans
aftaea a ignitication to this plant, and
if you will keep it and cherish it I will
perhaps one day explain the meaning."
"Marcia." said Elvira, as soon as he
had gone, "lind out. in some of those

"O!" cried Elvira, faintly. "Indeed!

prettily, and I must frankly avow that
she did not look in the least displeased.

1NO THE SUMMtK TO SANTA Kli, KKW
MKXICO.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the oldest city
iu the United Stales. It has reached tho
end ot its tirst third of a thousand yeurs
its teiiio-iuilleinal period. The Tei tio-Mil
leiuiiul Celebration and Minintr mid Indus
trial Exposition, which will be inaugurated
there ou the 2d of July and close ou the Ud
of August, will be an event ot grout histo
rical as well as practicil importance to the
country at large. It is intended to com
memorate the three hundred and thirty
third anuivcrsary of the Spanish settlement
oi tne place.
THE EXPOSITION,
Which will constitute the practical part of
the celebration, will be an epitome of tho
mineral, agricultural, horticultural, btock
and general industrial resources and caps
bilities ot the Territory. Those, therefore,
who hie interested in either mining, seri
culture orbtock-raisiug will have a good op
portunity lo visit New Mexico this season,
hs the low tare will bo a great inducement
to make the trip. The development of the
minis of this vast region has but begun,
yet in the past year the proportionate in
crease in the output of ore was greater than
in any other Statu oi Ierntory. New Mex
ico s showing at tlie mining exposition held
at Denver hist season showed, more clearly
than anything else, the vattnets of its min
eral wealth.
It has been the general belief heretofore
that agriculture in New Mexico would not
pay. I bis is an untortunate ermr. At the
exposition will be teen taniples of all sorts
ot truits and field products which vie with
those of prolific Kansas. With irrigation
the soil of the Territory can be made to
yield immensely, and there is no pursuit
more remunerative than that d fanning.
Agricultural products, of all kinds, bung
high prices upon u ready iiiaikct, always
accessible in the growing mining towns,
and the cost of raising is comparatively
small. As a cattle sad sheep country, too,
New Mexico cuuuot be surpussed. Her
valleys and mons alford tine gru.ing
grounds for countless herds. As the cele
bration at Santa Fe will be the mean of
drawing a larger number of people into the
Territory tlmu usual, owing to the chesp
I arc, an opportunity will be ollered those
who may be interested in stock-raising
to investigate.

Besides the practical, thy Tertio-Millcnial
will embrace many features the most novel
and romantic, r or instance, three davs

scenes. These will represent the petiod
which has transpired since the settleiuiut
ot the city, each day to represent a century
of history and progress. The three civ: 1 i
Z.itions will also be icpresented that
which existed at the time of the coming of
the conqueror-, that which the Spaniards
brought with them and that which followed
the American occupation of lsj-i'i. These
representations will be illustrated by cavtil
cailes in continue, indicative of the several
distinctive expeditions into New Mexico
and the surrounding ten itory. There will
al?o be numerous tablcuux, the whole com
bining to make one of the most novel ami
interesting exhibitions ever witnessed in
this couniry. There will, in addition, be
various Indian games, races and dances by
the l'ueblos, descendants of the ancient in
habitants of the. Territory; ambuscades and
sham lights by the Zunis, with exhibitions
of their peculiar rites and ceremonies, one
ol which will be a primitive dance repre

dances and juggling; original Aztec dances,
in which both Mexicans and Indians will
take part; various Mexican sports and the

Advice to Mothers.
Are you disturbed at night and broken
of your rest by a sick child suffering and
crying with pain of cutting teethf If so,
send nt once and get a bottle of Mrs. Wins-
ow's Soothing Syrup for Children Teeth
ing. Its value is incalculable. It will re
lieve the poor little buH'crtr immed
iately. Depend upon it, mothers, there is
no mistake about it. It cures dysentery and
Iiarrbo-a, regulates the stomach and bow-
els, cures w ind colic, softens the gums, re-
luces inllammation, and gives tone and
energy to the whole system. Mrs. Wins-
ows boothing Syrup for Children Teething
is pleasant to the taste, and is the prescrip
tion of one of the oldest and best female
physicians and nurses in the United rftates,
and is for sale bv all druggists throughout
the world. Price 25 cents a bottle.
A Nourishing Wine.
Old and infirm persons need some mild
tonic or gentle stimulant, especially at this
season. The wine made at Speer's Mount
Prospect Vineyards, in New Jersey, callo
Speer's Port Grape Wine, is usel in the At
lantic States the best tonic wine known,
and is regarded as pure, and is very popu-
ar among physicians. It is especially
beneficial for females and old people. S'.

Woman's True Friend.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. This
none can deny, especially when assistance
is rendered when one is sorely afllicted
with disease, more particularly those com
plaints and weakness so common to our
female population. Every woman Bhould
know that Electric Hitters are woman's true
friend, and will positively restore her to
health, even when all other remedies fail.
A single tr,al always proves our assertion.
They are pleasant to the taste, and only cost
fifty cents a bottle, sold by Jiarclay Hros.(2)
