As to the material and color, I really wished that I knew the young girl's preferences, und when Jack suggested ap aunt gray serge, as “sure to wear well,” LTwondered nota little that a young man with so much delicacy of feelins should, at the same time, be so Intensely pracueal. I had already de- cided in my own mind that the pillow should be of some delicate shade of blue pongee, decorated in one corner with tn bows of pale pink satin. How- 1 yielded the point with as good a grace as could, mildly suggesting that a border of yak lace of the same color us tue serge would give a pretty finish. “But wouldn't it tear easily?’ asked Jack. “Why, yesif it were handled roughly,” T replied; **but on a pillow like this it would wear for years.’ “On the whole, | think I'd like it bet- ter without any such filigree work— simple tuings are the best,” returned my somewhat discouraged pupil, as for the fifth time he picked out some unruly Stitches that I plainly told him would spoil the looks of the whole pillow. Well, in due course of time it was finished—that is, the plain serge cover was firmly stitched together, and then how I longed to embroider upon it some lovely bit of sentiment sbout the mur- muring pines and the balmy fir-trees! But, of course, all that was out of the question. Jack had evidenily no idea of doing anything further himself in the way of needle-work, yet was as anxious as ever to have the whole pillow made by his own hands. On the whole, he was avery patient and persevering pupil for an active young fellow so de- voted to tennis and buase-ball, and [ often used to wonder what tender, lov- ing thoughts he was working into those great clumsy seams when | saw that pe- culiar far-off look come into his beauti- ful brown eyes. * There was only one thing that troub- led me. In spite of the persistency with which Jack had worked day after day upon the pillow, and in spite of the numerous letters that came to him ad- dressed in a delicate feminine hand, I couldn't help a. as did all the other boarders 1m our little hotel, that the young man was paying marked at- tentions to a pretty young girl that had lately joined our party. She had fasci- nated us all, this winsome Muriel Fales, with her sweet face and her charming manners, and I couldn't wonder that Jack had not been able to resist the spell; but then—did 1 not know his se- cret, and were not all my sympathies with the frail little creature for whom the fir pillow was designed? How could a young man be 0 fickle? Was theold proverb, ‘Out of sight, out of mind,” to rove true again in his case? 1 confess joc _— to be much disappoint- ed in J: i “I'll let you now if the fir-pillow really does her any good,” hesaid to me ina light, flippant way that quite vexed me, as he bade us good-by a few days later. A telegram had come to him from the distant city, and although I knew we would all miss the bright young fellow, I was beste Ys glad of anything that would take him away from beautiful Muriel Fales. Not that Thad aught against her; onthe con- trary, I was charmed with her myself, for she was no coquet, buta sincere, entie, noble-hearted young girl. Still, feouldn't help seeing that matters were beginning to takes serious turn with her as well as with Jack, and [ thought it was high time that such scandalous roceedings should come to an end. ndeed, Thad half a mind to teil Mariel myself all about that mysterious pillow, only that I had promised Jack eternal secrecy in regard to it. Now, though fam an old maid, and sap) to have all an old maid’s proclivities for med- dling with other people’s concerns, it is not often that I become so greatly in- terested in people that I meetin this random way ata quiet summier-resort. Bat Muriel, and Jack. and the little consumptive maiden had somehow crept, each one of them, right into my foolish old heart, and I felt strangely responsi- ble for the future happiness of them all. Moreover, Muriel’s mother had placed her under my charge for the remainder of the summer—we were to talk French together preparatory to her Eu n trip in the fall—and when the frank young girl, knowing my interest in Jack, began to show me the letters that came to her on his return to the city the burden weighed upon me all the more heavily. bh letter, ae I could lainly see, grew more and more love- ike, till at last Muriel ceased to show them to me, but would read me short sentences here and there with a charm- ing, blushing hesitancy that I could not tail to interpret. One day, however, there came to me, as well as to Muriel, a letter from Jack, and as it will explain to you the whole situation, jally the romance of the pillow, far better than my garrulous talk could do, lam going to give it to you in full: a rdacre: I promised to tet et eooe irene - piliow you 6» kindly hetp- ed me make for my poor Angura pussy realiy aid ner any good. ‘other's letters about her quite worried me while I was with you at the mountains. for she is of a rare breed. an! is a great pet witb us ail.

A SENSIBLE SHERIFF. —>-0- He Pits His Foot Down on the Spies Van Zandt Nuptials, eg et Chicago, Jan. t9.—Although a cense was issued tor the marnage ot August Spies and Miss Van Zandt and the intention of the Parties was to have the wedding Thursday, it is safe to predict that they will never he wedded. The first obstacle was met just atter the issuance of the Jicense. Captain Black, counsel for the anarchists, called on Sheriff Matson and asked his permission to have the ceremony performed in the insane court. Such he said was the desire ot both Spies and Miss Van Zandt and of Judge Pendergrast, who had consentet to tie the nuptial knot. This wes tie first time that the intended marriage had been officially mentioned to the sheriff, but Sheriff Matson put his foot down firmly and declared that the wedding should not take place. “It is a silly intatuation,” he said, “of a-selt willed and romantic young woman who cannot possibley com— prehend the position in which she seems anxious to place herself. Spies occupies a cill in murderers? row; he has been tried and convicted of murder and is now under sentence of death. It he should marry now and the sentence of the court be carried out his wife would forever share his disgrace, and she would be a wife in name only, consequently the marrage would not benefit him while it would ruin her. On the other hand if tle supreme court should grant a new tral and Spies should be given his liberty the wed- ding might very properly take place. There is no possible excuse for it now. If their love for each other is mutual and caused by pure and un- selfish motives it is but fair. to pre- sume @at it will last until the case of the anarchists is finally disposed of.

A Girl Saved by a Rattlesnake, Savannah, Ga., Jan. 15.—A strange story comes from Brevard county, Flonda. Mr, John Lennard says that near him lives a tamily nimed Belden. They hada daughter, a girl 13 years old, who had tormed an attachment for a big rattlesnake, which would come and go at her bidding and nestle in her lap. The reptile was fond ot the girl, and would allow her to strike it and roll it about as she pleased. The girh was playing in some bushes near the house with the snake in her lap. A negro saw the child, and, thinking she was unprotected, slipped upon her, seized her in his arms, and was bearing her off into the woods with his hand pressed over her mouth: to stifle her cries. The snake crawled from the tolds of her dress, crept around the brute’s arm, and struck him on the neck, hissing in rage, The negro dropped the girl and dashed tle snake against a tree. The girl ran screaming toward her home. The negro went only a tew yards before he was overcome by the porson and died shortly after im great agony.
