him?"
"Plenty of friends now, but lot them
find out that he is broke, and they'll be
off like a covey of birds."
"I must see bim;" and the hotel pro>
prietor, walking out upon the piazza,
approached a young man leaning against
one of the front pillars.
"Mr. Watson, your bill, I see, is in ar
rears one week over the settlement day.
Why is it?"
The young man flushed at first, as if
in anger; then a smile overspread his
handsome face. "I know I am a delin
quent, Mf^jor Snow, but I can't pay at
present?"
"Do you expect money soon?"
"Well, really, I don't know who should
send me anything from their surfeit o
cash." *
"Then I am to understand that you
are not only unable to pay, bat do not
expect to be able?"
"Undoubtedly, m^jor."

Bert Watson wo*
the elegant suit
ob the leoond floor to a little eeven by
fourteen room on the fifth floor.
How quickly It became known that
that change had been made. Every
servant In the bouse betrayed the
knowledge In tbo fbsonce of the usual
difference paid the possessors of "par
lora." At d(nnor, the "boy" who had
been only loo eager to anticipate Mr.
Watson's wants, suddenly became ob
livious to those wants, and only an
swered them after peated onlers. The
cashier and register clerk, always so ob
sequious, grew dignified and Indifferent.
Only the urbane naqjor preserved a
kindly greeting for the guest too poor
to pay his bill, and remaining by suffer
ance.
"Queer," thought the hotel proprietor.
"He certainly had money enough when
he came, for he deposited a cool $5,000
in the safe. He hasn't been fast, I am
certain, and his habits have boon so
good that the young bloods have rather
played off from hin**~tBut he has been
a favorite. Not pn^llo'in
the room but
would have dropped her best friend for
his attendance. Hang me if I can un
derstand it."
Watson, hailing from Baltimore, had
been a season guest at the Cascade.—
Friends he had in plenty. He was
courteous, well bred, good looking, in
telligent, and, apparently, rich—what
more ceuld be asked? Among the la
dies, he had moved quite a prince; and
many were the gossamer webs woven as
toils to capture him, but to all ho prov
ed a very incorrigible recusant—he
would not be any one's prize. The ex
quisite charm of voice, manner and sen
timent, the beauty of person, the elegance
of attire—ell were agreeable to him,
deeply so, for he see med to enjoy them
all immensely; but n ot the brilliant po
etess, Mias'Mountjoy, nor the coy and
artless Miss Dumuin, nor the rattle
headed young Miss Lambert, nor the
haughty* elegant and exclusive Miss
Pettiy* htir the very rich Misa Oromanes,
appeared to command him. He was to
all alike, the agreeable campanion, the
candid friend, theshrowd resistant of all
arts to lead him into love's labyrinthine
mazes.

utson was not indif
ces,"
Evideutly Mr.
feront. He still frequented tbe piazzas
and parlors, giving every friend, male
or female, ample opportunity to "cut
hts .acquaintance," or otherwise to
express themselves. It was somewhat
curious to note the progress of his de
cline, not his fall, for Watson had that
In his character construction which,
even in poverty and trial would pre'
serve him from a sacrifice of personal
dignity and self reliance. But that he
was on the decline, beoame to him a
sorrowful fact.
Sorrowful, did we Siy? That is Jadg
tug by tho usual standards of human
feliolty or misery. To lose one's friends,
to behold your position in society grad '
ully slipping away, to realize that
longer you are held in ooVeted consider
ation by a chosen few, is, ordinarily, a
source of sorrow. But, in Watson's
case, it was difficult to determine how
keenly tho knife out to the quiek of his
sensibilities, for, while every acquaint
ance was given ftili facilities for doing
the disagreeable office of giving the
"cold shoulder,
peared like an interested spectator, and
as unmoved, when passed by asup
posed friend without the alightOs notice,
as if he were a newspaper reporter, anx
ious to see the act and to note th. fact;
Into the parlors, during the evening
he particularly pressed his way. If a
bevy of gay fellows surrounded Miss
Mountjoy, ho worked his Way to the
olrcle, and, at last, received from that
lady with Suppho-like lips his discharge.
She did moet gracefully and crushingly

after bis removal from the second floor.
Miss Dumain he sohgbl, confident
that one eo artless certainly would be
above the hollow-hearted crowd; and
still give him her kiudly greeting. Vain
conception! The artless girl was coy,
indeed; and; when at length he corner
ed her, it was to his discomfiture. She
suddenly turned and forced her way
past him, without even one ofher down
cast glances. On the contrary, her eyes
were fixed fully on bis face, and plainly
said, "Sir, we are strangers."
Next he tried rattle-headed Miss
Lambert, and she rattled on quite as
usual; but Watson soou discovered
that the rattle was not for him.
Strangely enough, the proud and ex
clusive Miss Percy unbent somewhat
from her lofty carriage, and gave him a
welcome; bat over it all was a shadow
—a fear, apparently, which made Miss
P.roy shy, rather than haughty; and
Watson, began to catch glimpses of a
character beneath all that conventional
veil, which he had not expected to find.
Of oourse the wealthy Miss Oromanes
would scorn his further friendly rela
tions. Her rooms were near his own
floor apartments; she daily, all the sea
son, had enoountered him in bis walks
through the long corridor, and must
have been one of tbe first to learn of his
fallen fortunes. Indeed, he half-surmls
ed that her dressing-maid had made spe
cial inquiry into his case, seeing her in
her confidential canfab with tbe floor
stewardess and room girls. So Watson,
with a reserve or pride not entertained
with others, kept apart from Miss Oro
manes,
On that third evening of hie changed
fortune., when the Sappho of the Cas
cades annihilated him, greatly to the
pleasures ef the young "bloods" around
her, Watson wandered sway at length
npon the ptazza, then up through the
long, deserted halls, restless, thought
ful, digesting the notes whiob he had
been taking of human nature and trying
to fix the relative value of a man with
out money. It was the crystalline truth
he was learning—not the truth In mere
solution, sometimes dear, sometimes
opaque, but always thin, but the pre
dpitated, hard singular, dear out crys
tals of eaperlenoe, mined In unexpect
ed places. Had he remained upon the
second floor, never would he have ob
tained the gome; the mere eolation only
would have repaid his keenest search.—
Bnt that migration to the upper spaces
had given him a wondeous lens; hU
horizon was so Immeasurably extended
that barring the fact that his bill was un
paid, he waa the happier, because wiser,
•for the upward reverse.
Suddenly, In his solitary promenade
he confronted the helreas. She was
walking arm in arm with young Evanst
of her "let," in confidential communica
tion it would appear, elae why should
they have been In that long hall alone?
asked Watson, as, with sglanoe, he took
la the situation. This meeting was a
surprise to both parties, and the inclina
tion of both men was to pass without re
cognition. Evans, indeed, frowned;
Watson flash in anger, and with bead
erect bore down and passed his enemies,
like s suspended or cashiered offleor of
the line, conscious of bis soldierly quai
itles, bnt equally conscious of his "al
tered circumstances."
Too high be held hir head, in fact, for
he caught no soft glance from the lady's
eye, and trod so firmly npon the trail of
her elegant evening dress ■■ to eause a
perceptible crack ingot seams at the skirt
pleats. Evans turned with a sudden
a
to
anger.
Dolt!" be hissed.
Watson passed on, staying to make no
apology, but he heyrd the lady say :
"Fie, it is uothing;" and he was oon
scious, too, that she was looking at him
wonderingly.

piazza again, evidently on tho quest for
some person, and he found his man
long. Kvans was the gentleman want
ed. Going up to him Watson said:
"Mr. Evans, what was tho word you
used at the time I trod on the trail oi
Miss Oromanes' dress?"
"I said dolt, sir ! and Ï say it again.
We have hitherto supposed you to bo a
gentleman, and now learn that you can
not pay your Sills;" and he laughed;
half in scorn and half in humor of the
fact so opportunely given him to orush
another.
The hot blöod fleVv to Watson's fade
his hands were clenched as if to strike
but by a strong effort, he mastered his
passion.
"Kvans, ho gentleman, ever would
have uttered that sentence. Only a cow
ard would fling another's poverty in his
face. Miss Oromanes, educated as she
has been to give a virtue to wealth,
might find in my inability to pay my
hotel bill a justification for dropping my
acquaintance; but I doubt if she Over
would have countenanced incivility. I
owe her an apology for my scenting
rudeness, and will give itto her; but you
I hold in too supreme contempt even to
exchange more words with you. Here
after do not speak to me; for if yott do I
shall slap your face, even in the pres
ence of ladies,
bis way to his attic room.
This scene, overheard by several gen
tlemen and ladies; was soon the talk of
the rooms. Evans being a recognized
leader of a very aristocratic circle, soon
convened others of the set; and Major
Snow was; Ore long, summoned to be
informed that he must "clear out Wal
sott"—Evans offering to pay the delin
quent's bill;

parlors and promenades that Major

Ain observer of the scene between the
two gentlemen on the piazza was Miss
Oromanes; Having at once retired to
her room to repair the accident to her
skirt, the lady donned another dress;
and, to enjoy half an hour undisturbed,
stole oat nßoa the pleasant, open
wreathed promenade. She thus was a
witness of what transpired. She, too,
retired in evident excitement, to her
rooms, and whed her maid, half an hour
later, brought the house-news that the
Major was to clear Watson out in the
morning, the heiress, with perfect de
liberation, but with brightened color in
her oheeks, and a elear sparkle in her
beautiful eyes, sat down to her desk and
indited the following note.
"Major Snow will please take no
tion in the matter in the diffsrehce be
tween Mr. Watson and Mr. Evans. I
overheard every word that passed be
tween tho gentlemen, and fully justify
Mr. Watson. Were it not an insult to
him, I would offer to become responsi

be able to pay; but I know that he is a
thorough gentloman, end would equally

in tho major's hands at once. Tho maid
had not far to go, for she met the propri

glauced at the billet and laughed; then
paused and said :
"No use of my trip up five pair of
stairs. Mr. Robert Watson has the free
dom of this house for the next five sea
sons."
And down stairs he wont again, while
the open eared maid, having lost not a
word, returned to her mistress to find
her absorbed in penning another note.
This was written with groat care, and
many pauses. It was finally finished,
and read as follows;
"Mr. Watson will please excuse the
boldness of this note; but having been a
witness to the meeting between yourself
and Mr. Evans on the piazza, I ioel it
incumbent on me to say that I fully jus
tify your proceedingaud your Words. I
ask no apology from you. Indeed, I
will be pained to receive it. Believe me
I am exceedingly pained at the inference
you have drawn, namely, that I could
find a justification in dropping your ac
quaintance in the fact of your tempora
ry emuarrassment. Alas for my riches,
if they compel me to bear such imputa
tions on my sense and motives! I am,
sir, yours, very sincerely,
"Helene Oromanes."
This missive the maid bore to the fifth
story. It found the romantic Robert in
bed; but the letter was flung in over the
door ventilator.
"A letter for Monsieur Watson from
my lady," said a voice at the door; and
Watson sprang up os the envelope float
ed down to his feet.
"A note from my lady!" What on
earth did that mean! Another rumpus
brewing, of course! Turning on the gas,
he read—astonished, pleased, delighted,
as the rich color mounted to his temples
testified. And then, foolish man, he
kissed the note.
So very preposterous for one in his
circumstances!

in order to see Mr. Robert Watson de*

And they did take thoir course, of
course. In three day's tirqe a magnifi

Watson soon appeared with the beauti
ful Miss Oromanes fur his companion
in the morning drive.
"Whose equipage is that?" demanded
Evans of tho major, who had escorte i
his guests to the carriage.
"Ob, that's Watson's, to be sure!" was
the reply.
"Watson's be hanged! Say, major, has
he paid his bill?" asked Kvans, mali
ciously.

"Explain ydufrself, then sir!" demand
öd Evans, irately. "Did you not inform
the guosts that he ôoüld not pay his bill,
and that you had sent him up stairs out
of his second-floor suit?"
"Not I! Some of the clerks niày have
kaid something:, to Which others added
moré; bnt I really thought too much of
the gentleman to mention the matter to
any oiile. Now it turns oüt that it was
all a little game of his own-."
"Little game! What object dould he
have had in playing such hide and seek?' '
demanded Evans again^ in tones per
emptory.
"Well, in part, Ï su^^oSe, tb test the
value of friendship in general, and the
power of knoney in particular—both t*f
wlilch I have ilo doubt he has dohe to hi*
entire satisfatition. Ua, ha, ha! Whaft

"Tbihk about it? Why, that it was—

"What?'*
"Why* a vérÿ ärtful dodge—nothing
"Cäpital dodge, that's a fact; seeing
that, as a poor man, he won Miss Oro
manes, and—"
"Now, what do ÿoil mean?" fairly
shouted Evans, irt his excitement.
"Mean? That before 10 o'clock on the
morning of the day when he was to have
had his walking-papers, by your orders,
he was dead in love with the heiress
and—"
"And what, sir?"
"And she dead in love with him!"
"It's false, I know I" oried the man,
now white in the face from some inex
plicable euiotlon.
"False, eh? Goiiig off id that carriage
together to the preacher'e looks like it,
don't it?"
"Good heaveusl"
The major'e conjecture was permature,
as ho well knew; but the shaft had struok
Bvons to tho heart, and he fairly stag
gered to a seat. Kvans had played a
long and deep game to win the heiress;
He had long been her recognized suitor
— ho had discounted hor possessions in
his gay life; and tho result was—Ae was
dead broke!
He left tho watering plaoe that day.

BOYS ON TEE FABH.
The Prairie -Former, in speaking of a
"boy's rights on a farm," tall«» in this
truthful way ;
"We are strongly inclined to the opin
ion that there are no oflloes sa poorly
appreciated as those performed by boys
on a farm. They seldom get any credit
when things go well, and ordinarily in
cur all the blame when the contrary fa
the esse. If anything is lost, It )s always
the boy that has been neglectful. If the
gate was left unfastened, or the bars
down, it is the boy who was to blame.—
If the hens don't lay, it's because the
boy hasn't fed them. If dinner is late,
it is for the reason that the boy did not
prepare the wood In season. If the cow
gives bloody milk, it is because the boy
threw a stone at her, killed a toad in her
path, or raced her In driving her home.
Cattle get into fields because boys break
down the fences in climbing over them.
Roofs are leaky, for the reason that
they have been running on them. If a
pitcher is broken by some older mem
ber of the family, the canse is traced to
a crack made by the boy the last time he
used it."
All of which is sadly trne. The most
uninteresting work, sorting potatoes
rainy days, setting out cabbages after a
shower, turning a grindstone by the
hour, to grind dull scythes and duller
axes, running for water while the men
rest their Iron legs, working with tho
poorest tools, such as doll scythes, and
old, worn out hoes, manure forks with
two tines, and like treatment with re*
fereuee to almost everything, is tq|^H

in the woods to go to, they are often in

may be arrested sometimes, in making

Bees generally remain in tho cluster
from ohe to twenty-four hours. Indeed,
if not hived, they will sometimes remain
and die where tboy clustor, dwindling
away by degrees; consequently it is best
to have hives ready and hive them
soon after swarming as possible; and
they may be carried immediately to the
stand where they are to remain for the
season, or they may be left till evening,
and then removed. It does not make
