I am only a school-teacher and naturally not in particularly afflu ent circumstances, but I believe I am rather very good-looking and know how to dress, even if I can't aflord expensive gowns. At the queer little town of Thorn apple, where I was spending the summer, the local belles were inclin ed to look down upon me. One day I overhenrd a small coterie of village beauties discussing me as "Poor little Net Howard," and then' launch forth some uncomplimentary remarks regarding me. From that time forth I resolved to let those girls know that I was not going to be snubbed. So I put forth every effort to engage the attention of every young man they took a fancy to, for my blood was up. To the disgust of all the aforesaid young ladies in the place, when voung Mr. Römer, the California millionaire, appeared and they be gan to lay snare" for him, that inde pendent young man began at once to pay very marked attention to me. You gee, I aoti-d very cool toward him, and, not being used to such treatment, 1 suppose, it took with his lordship. tY? wr ing one night, and I felt to tired that I slipped avay to the back par lor, where I was eventually follow ed hv young Römer. Net, he asked, have I done any thing to offend you ? Oh, no, Mr. Römer, said I, flip pantly. But things will go wrong with me occasionally. I feci savage. I am sorry to have made a victim of if its I of "f it a si you. You knew very well, Net, that you may make anything you please of mo. said Mr. Römer, in a tone that struck me as ominous. He in tile world was the with whom 1 wanted a seen». ist person I was too much afraid of him f lost , T trembled ; T ukiDg nil awkward movement self-pc^o-sio my Wlf to escape from tho room ; but Mr. Römer interp osed with an air of au thority that did not tend to reassure Net, I have something to say to you. Will you stop and listen? I can't, I can't, Mr. Römer —I don't want to listen. Somebody is calling me in the garden. Nobody is calling you. What do you mean ? Net, Net, have you been trying to drive me distracted this evening ? You can't care for that puppy of a doctor, with his poetry—it's impossible. And I real ly think you havo given me the right to ask whether you care for me. You must tell me—I will not he trifled with. I have made no secret of loving you—everybody knows it—you know it. Do you in tend to be my wife or not ? Up from the garden tinkled the sound of Flora Allen's laugh. The whole brood of poisonous feelings started up within me, like wakening serpents. What ! Was I a Flora Allen, to whom the offered hand of a millionaire was irresistable ? Oh, Mr. Römer, I am so sorry. It's impossible, I cried. Wc stood silently opposite each other for a moment in the moon light ; I thought my heart was beat ing audibly. At last : * You have treated me shamefully, Net Howard, said Mr. Römer, stern ly. God forgive you ; I hope women arc not all alike. Then ho went out of the room. With those reproachful words ring ing in my ears, I stood still, on the spot where he had left me, and tried hopelessly to think. What had I done ? It was long after midnight before I crept, chilled and shivering to bed. All the next day I remained in my a room ; I could not endure to see anybody—should I not betray my misery and remorse in my face ? So 1 said, not without some truth, that I was ill. Toward evening I crept out of the house. I felt I must get a breath of fresh air somehow. But some one beside myself was out in the damp evening. I heard a gate near me open and shut, the gravel clicked under approaching footsteps. Miss Howard ! I beg your par don. said Mr. Homer, in some natur al amazement. I came out to get a breath of fresh'uir, I stammered, and rising. I am so tired after being in the house all day. I was sorry to hear you were ill, said Mr. Römer, rather stiffly ; and lifting his hat, he was turning away. Could I let it be so ? Some how, without in the least intending it, I found myself crying out, with a burst of stormy tears : Oil, Mr. Römer, do forgive mo ! I hid my face in iqy hands. Mr. Römer hesitated an instant ; then he came a stop nearer ; but that in stant was long enough for me to suf fer an agony of humiliation. A fine harvest I was reaping, after my summer's sowing of wild oats. Why, Net what have I to forgive? he said, at last, in a subdued voice. I have been thinking it over, and wonder at my own stupidity in ox pecting a gay young girl, like you, to take things as seriously as men of my age. It's hard to give you up Net ; but not so hard as to feel that after all, you didn't love me— But I did—l do ! I cried. And whether it was my doing or his, I don't know, and it does not matter ; but I was in his arms, and the moon gleamed out of the clouds, and glan ced mischievously into the arbor, as if sbe had a mind to be present at the reconciliation and ratify it. Woolen Underclothing. Among tho many means by which we seek to guard ourselves from the effect of chill, there is one which hardly, even now, receives sufficient attention—the use of underclothing. The majority of the male sex do, indeed, show their appreciation of its wholesome qualities ; hut there remains a considerable portion of these, and a far greater number of women and children, who prefer an anders ait of other material. Yet the superior advantages of wearing wool next to the skin are easily ap parent on reflection. They do not depend merely on its greater warmth and closeness of application. It if. further capable, according to its I texture and in virtue of its compo sition, of better adaptation, in re spect of temperature, to the needs of various climates, and the changes "f seasons, than any other dress mai., rial Moreover, whether it he flue or rotigh, dense or light, woolen clothing, it is evident, exhibits a special faculty for absorbing and distributing moisture, it is this property especially which renders it tho natural next covering of the con stantly perspiring skin. If one be engaged, lor example, in active exer cise of limb, u linen fabric will ab sorb what products of transudation it can, till it is wet, but will leave much moisture unabsorbed upon the clammy surface ; whereas, a flannel, from its more spongy nature, will rest upon a skin which it 1ms nearly dried, and be but damp itself. It is obvious, then, that in the event of au after-chill, and this oc curs in summer as in winter, the body is in the latter case most fa vorably disposed to resist it. Flan nel is not less cleanly than linen, though it may he less white ; and if the wearer bathe daily, it is surpris ing how long it will retain its purity. The disadvantage of skin irritation, to which it sometimes gives rise, is usually associated with coarseness of quality or freshness of manufac ture, and is with nearly all who have experienced it a merely transient condition. Women as well as men, but, above all, children and the aged, who are alike particularly apt to take cold, should certainly adopt a woolen material for their custom ary undergarment. It is easily pos sible to adjust the texture to the season, so that it shall be warm enough in winter and not too warm in summer. j A Large Cat Contract. Commodore Vanderbilt did not take very kindly to removing from Staten Island to New York city when his affairs began to prosper, but was compelled to do so in order to be near his business. He bought a house just in the outskirts of the city, where he thought he could be of comparative quiet. He found a comfortable place close by a grave yard, with not many houses about him, and settled down. The first night he spent in the new place was a terrible revelation to him. In stead of the absolute quiet surround ings of his island home he had an atmosphere vocal with the yells of what seemed a thousand cats. The neighborhood must have been, he was convinced, a favorite resort for all the cats in the city. They ren dezvoused in the graveyard and flocked on his back fence and perch ed on hiB shed roof and caterwauled madly all night long. He slept scarcely five minutes at a time. The next night the same performance was repeated, and the next. Instead of getting used to it the Commodore was getting more and more nervous and slept less and leor The wear and the tear began to tell on him. Vanderbilt had his boots blacked every morning by a lad who had stationed his box not far away, making an arrangement with the boy in order to get the shine reason ably cheap. One morning he sat down in the hoy's chair with such a weary air and with so haggard a look on his face that the boy asked sympathetically : "Wot's de matter customer? - ' sure to the bootblack and told him the harrowing tale of the cats, The Commodore, for want of a better confidant, opened his heart "Wot'll you give me boss,' the boy, "if I'll clean out all de cats for you ?" What'll I give you ? "Why, I'll give you a dollar apiece for every cat you kill in my yard," said the Commodore. said "All right customer,*' said the bootblack, "I'll be there to-night." That night the Commodore slept as he had not slept since he left Staten Island. He woke in the morning with the delightful sense of having slept only fifteen minutes, and yet knowing that he had slept soundly all night. When he went out he found his bootblack sitting on the top step. "How'd ye sleep, boss?" asked the boy. "Splendidly, youngman, splendid ly." "Hoar any cats "Not a cat. How much do I owe you?" "Come round in the back yard an' we'll see," said the boy. They went around to the back yard. There two rough-looking youngsters sitting on the fence, and on tho ground was a pile of dead cats that made the Commodore turn pale. •>»> "For heaven's sake how many ■als have you got there ?" lie gasped, i "'Ve il throw them ever in an- ! aid the bootblack, j I oth< r idle bos tin' you can score 'em up." The boy began to tons the cats over deliberately, and the Commo dore counted until he had got up to fifty Then he called out : "Hold on : That'll do. See here: I'll give you thru' fellows just $5 apiece. That's big pay for a night's work." "Can't do it boss," said the boot black. "I've made de arrangement wid dese gentlemen here, an' de un derstanding is 81 apiece for de cats." " Well, I won't give you but 85 each all around," said the Commo dore. He pulled out the money and shook it in their faces, butithe boys refused to take it. Finally they withdrew in silence, leaving the Commodore aroused anil ill-natured, with his cats. They formed solve to "get even with him," and made their plans accordingly. Tiiat night the Commodore had not been asleep very long before he was roused by the most unearthly entern auling that he had ever heard in his life. He woke with tho im pression that there was a stack of cats on the foot of his bed. Then he fancied they were at least on the window sill of his room. But pre sently be became aware that they were somewhere in the yard near his window. He could stand it no longer, and seized a loaded pistol that was in a bureau drawer and blazed away, one, two, three shots, at what seemed to be the centre of the disturbance in the yard. Then he heard a cry and groan of anguish from some human being. He dressed partially and went out into the yard, and found there, writhing in pain, the policeman on tho heat, with a ball from the Com modore's revolver in his leg. He also found a largo gunny bag in which was a wriggling, writhing mass of cats, all of them howling now with a fury redoubled by the episode of the shooting. The police a ro man was able to explain that he | had seen what seemed to be a wild animal of extraordinary proportions, which made a noise like a hundred cats, plunging around on the Com modore's lawn, and had came over to investigate ; and no sooner had he discovered that the object was a big gunny bag full of cats, and had pre pared to release the animals, than Cammodore had opened fire on him from the window, with disastrous effect. The policeman sued Vanderbilt for damages and the Commodore had to pay him 81,000 to settle—a fact which became quiet gennerally known. As to the cats, he knew where they came from, but the peculiar and unfiniseed nature of the transaction with the boys pre vented him from mentioning it, or from breaking with the bootblack, who continued to shine his boots as of yore. The day after the Commo dore had settled with the policeman the boy looked up from his box and remarked: "Sleep well last night boss ?" The Commodore only grunted in response. "Any cats, nowadays?,' The Commodore jumped up from tho chair. "See here !" he exclaimed ; "how many cats did you kill that night?" "Ninety-three, boss." The Commodore pulled out his checkbook and hastily drew a check. "Here's a cheek for 8100," said he "and now don't you ever say cats to me again in your life, nor talk about this thing to any body else, or I'll break every bone in your body." "Agreed, boss," said the boy, as be pocketed the check. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
