But here—read the eptstie yourself, and then, perhaps, you will be convinced,” he added, for my face expressed not only surprise, Dut incredulity. “You know the writing, of course?” “Yes,"I replied, with a nervous little shiver; “and I would Just assoon attempt todectpher Chaldean. Besides, if I remember aright, the substance of ‘Mise Betsy's lettets used to be just as crabbed as the penmanship.

Astaras I know Aunt Betsy has not left her er: tains for twenty years—not even when m T, her only brother, died, and now to think of herstarting off first to Dev shire, then to Norfolk, and then to come to us In London!

It used to be her proud Doast that she had never set foot. in a steamboat Or railway train, or darkened the door of any house Dut her own for twenty years? Whatever shall we do with her, Tom? “Why, my dear, bid her welcome, of course—es- tablish her in the best bed-room, find out what ‘sho likes for dinner, and otherwise endeavor 20 de- serve the legacy! “I don’t want it, and I don’t want her,” I sald, a little impatiently.” “You have no fdea what a Dorrid old lady Aunt Betsy is, Mamma wasdread— faily afraid of her, she used to scold her so and Mad fault with the’ housekeeping and cooking and eversthing.

If, it pleases the poor oid lady, we must try to manage it,” sald Tom cheerfully. “That's all you know about Aunt Betsy!" I re- torted, with a childish inclination to cry; “she alway 5 scolds and finds fault, nothing pleases her, and she’s so rude, Tom.

Of course he did not know that aunt Betsy had worried poor mamma almost out of her life, and never Seased ralling and reviling because ‘she, had no boys, but only girls—how she regularly wrote twice a year abusing papa because he was the last Clayton of Deene, aud thteatening ven- geanceon the threo yseless Uttle minxes who Would doubtless some day marry and hand over Deeneto strangers.

Whenever he had that far-away look in his eyes, I knew he was thinking, andI always took care not to disturb him.

He nodded without an- swering, and I left him witha strange, uneasy feeling that something had happened. But when be jotned me halt an hour later, he was as bright and cheery as usual.

When she joined me at dinner, she had replaced her black “drawn” satin bonnet by a muslin cap with an infinity of narrow borders, while a white muslin handkerchief was pinned over her should- ers and fastened near the waist by an enormous Scotch pebble and silver brooch. The Gres too, were laid aside, as were the camlet wi and bearskin cape, and I saw that Aunt Betsy was not only keen-eyed, but thin, straight, and active. “Your husband must be a man of means, Niece Franves,” she observed, glancing round the dining- room and scanning: everything on the table. ‘Tom has his eee I replied proudly, “and we have the interest of my fortune.” “Three thousand in the Funds, eb, at 3 per cent?” “No; my guardian sold out of the Funds long ago, and invested my money inamine.

I don’t know which is the ater fault.

Is your husband as great a'fool as You are, tlece?” 1 laughed heartily at her polnted and brusque question, “I do not consider myself quite a fool, aunt,” I replied; “but, even if I am, I think Tom has enough’ sense 'for us both.” ‘Then I asked Aunt Betsy to come with me to the drawing-room; but, true to her character of an officious old maid,’she declared her intention of over the house from garret to basement. » HO; You need not trouble to come with me,” she Said, waving me aside. “The place 1s none so big but Ican find my way.

In about twenty minutes she returned and seated herself in a corner with an expression I could re- member ever since I was. child, Iknew there Was a storm coming, and I resolvedto meet it with good humor, and laughingly remind my Aunt Bet- sy that it was my house, and that if she did not like 1t she was, of course, at Iiberty to leave It. But I was not at all prepared for the accusations she heaped up against me. I was Idle, lazy, care- Jess, untidy, extravagant. There was sinful, wan- ton waste in every part of the house. “You will ruin your husband!” she cried, raising her hands. “Six chamber towels in your own bed-room, and four best sperm candles! “Think of ‘the Washing, think of the candle ends!

Jas. 8, Brisbin in the Omaha Republican. When we last parted company with the readers of the Republican we were in the Indian camp of the Arupahoe chief, Friday. Here we saw many curious scenes and learned much of Indian life. One day Friday safd to me he would like to show off his young men and let me see how well they could ride. At rst T expected some treachery, as the whole herd of ponies were still in the hands of ‘the troops. The old chief, however, was soearnest and apparently honest about it, I told the Ge ain, who had the herd in charge, he’ might let Friday have 50 pontes for his young men. In about an hour they drew up before the tents in war paint and feathers, and were as fine a looking set of young fellows as I had ever seen. Hardly one but was 6 feet in height and beautifully Proportioned. They sat their horses like centaurs and were ease and grace Itself in the saddle, Ata ‘signal from the chief they fan thelr movements with a yell that sent the blood curdling to the heart and was enough, if heard unawares or in the night time, to make one’s hair stand on end, Ina moment they had disappeared over a neighboring hill to the right, and I thougnt they had gone, but hearing a mighty trampling of horses, I looked to my left and there they came. I can compare it to nothing but the wind, and they swept by so swift and compact that they looked like a ball of horses and men. | Splitting in two, one body swept, to the right and another to the left and again dis- appeared, In about two minutes the t bodies charged each other in solid lines, and I waited almost breathlessly for the shock, Dut as the horses’ heads almost touched each other the files skillfully opened to the right and left and the lines passed through the intervals without touching. Wheeling to the right-about they passed back in an tnstant and oa In disap- peared over the hills, It was about fifteen min- utes before they came in sight, and Friday in- formed me they were blowing their horses, Pre- sently on they came and wheeled by fours, formed columns, broke by fours and finally deployed as skirmishers. It was now we saw the finest In- dividual horsemanship. Some would approach lying so close tO the pony’s back nothing but the horses could be seen. Others stood up and rode ascircus men do. Some would hang with one foot and one hand on the horses and sweep by, their bodies completely protected by the bodies of vhe animals. Some leaped upon the ground holding to the mane of the horse, and after run- ning a step or two would swing themselves up on the backs of the horses again as easily as any cireus man could doit. The positions they as- sumed and the feats of horsemanship which they performed were incredible, and I doubt if anything outside of a circus ring ever equaled it. ‘They would throw objects on the ground and pick them up again while passing at full speed, the warriors hanging to the sides of the horses With one foot and one hand. They drew bows and shot arrows from underneath the necks and even bellies of their horses while riding at a fast gallop. Our cavairy could not learn to ride aswell as these Indians did if each man was trained for twenty years. They exchanged horses while riding, and got behind each other. One man would fall off bis horse as if wounded, and two others would ride up beside iim, and, taking him by an arm and leg, swing him between their horses aud carry him off. ‘The exhibition, or drill, as Friday culled it, lasted nearly two hours, andthe men and horses were completely ex- hausted. I had never seen such magnificent feats of horsemanship in my Ife, and I freely sald so, At this Friday Was much pleased, and, calling up the young men, repeated to them in a'loud votce what Ihad said, and added a few words of his own, complimenting them, The young men were very proud of the mani in which they had ac- iL savings go to a woman who Wants four can- les to look ‘at the reflection of her face in the glass and stx towels to wij “J told you, aunt, that it on.” didn’t want your sav- ings, and I don’t,” I'saia, gently. “Do try to make allowances for different habits and customs; or, If you can’t do that, take no notice at all. It really heed not matter to you.” “But I must leave my money to some one,” she sald, with a puzzled, helpless expression. “I'm an old woman; I must’ set my affairs in order, but how to decide don't know. ‘You're all alike. think I should live to say tt of brother Peter's children! Greedy and lazy, one’s bad, the other’s Worse; but Idon’t Know wiich 18 worst—I don't, “Leave your money toa charity, Aunt Betsy,” I suggested, “charity begins at home,” she cried tartly. i leave my money how’and where I like, Dut not to be squandered in senseless extrava gance, depend on that! Tcame to stay and I'll stay; but I've seen enough to know that I sha'n’t, have an hour's peace while I’m in the house. Before half the week was over, even, Tom’s good nature began to fall; he was heartily tired of Aunt Betsy, her carping, her fault-finding and her con- Unual cross-questioning. She wanted to know everything; and, though Tom parried her ques- ons with’a good deal of lawyer-like Ingenuity, she contrived to elicit a great deal of information about our domestic arrangements, and she dis- approved of everything she heard. Fie of the seven days of her visit were gone; and Tom, having arriyed at the same conclusion ag myself, that whoever got Aunt Betsy's legacy, we should not, began to wish the other two days were over, for the old lady was becoming really unbearable. ‘She seeraed deeply interested in the mine in which my. small portion was invested, aud my husband appeared, I thought, strangely unwilling to give her any thformation. On the afternoon of the fifth day, just a8 I was preparing to go out for a Walk, an Old man in a suitof rusty black, carrying & shabby bag, called and asked to see Miss Clayton. Jane showed him into the dintng-room—not, as she Afterward said, without some misgivings about the sflver—and on hearing his name my aunt hastened to see him. In about ten minutes she came to the foot of the stairs and called me. “Niece Frances, come here!” she cried, 1n @ high, shrill votce; and, as I looked at her face, Isawin & moment that something unusual had happened. “This is Macer,tny man of business and legal advi- ser,and he's just told me that I've lost all my money, He'tells me I have been swindled out of every penny I ‘and a good deal more besides— that Craglands must be sold to meet my Itabill- Ues, that I'm a houseless, homeless old beggar, without a place to lay my head. Is that what you've told me, Macerz” “Precisely, ma'am; that’s what I've told you.” Dear Aurit Betsy I am sorry 1 sald earnestly, and I really felt truly and heartily grieved for her, “No hope of a ¥ now, Niece Frances; so 1 suppose I may pack my carpet bag and take iny- self off as soon as I please!” jo, indeed, aunt; you must not think of _leav- ing us until Your affairs are arranged. Things may not be so Dad as You suppose. ‘In any case, you must ask Tom's advice; he may be able to you!” we ndon't, Know what to do,” the old. lady ert y er hands, “If 1 lose Craglands, I shal!

It's only when trouble comes upon you that you learn to know your friends.” ‘To returned early that evening; and before we went down to dinner I told him of my aunt’s ter- rible misfortunes, and my assurance that we Wold never let her want for a home. “That was like you, dear—your real self, I mean,” he replied; “and I quite agree with you quitted themselves, and I could imagine the feel- ings of their parents and sweethearts.

Underlying the old proverb, “Every man 1s a fool or a physician at rorty,” there is the important truth that it is in every man’s power, if he 1s wise, to recognize early in life (like’ Cornaro) the requirements of his own constitution, and the means by which all such stores of vitality as it may ssess may be utilized. An able physician sald to me a short time ago: “In all my experience I have never known but one man who really died a@ natural death;” and he went on to explain that a man can only be said to die a natural death when he dies all at once, when the organs on which circu. lation, respiration, and nutrition depend, all fail atabout the same'time; whereas one man dies be- cause circulation fails, another because the respl- ratory organs give out, and yet another because stomach, liver, kidneys or bowels becoine unequal to their work, In fine, the secret of longevity lies in the attainment of & natural life to be brought to an end by a natural death; and nearly every man, did he but give his vital powers fair chances, would find that, like— ‘The wonderful one-hoss shay, He was built in such a logical way [As to run} a hundred years to a day, And then, of a sudden [to pass away). el A Day LITTLE INCIDENTS OF BICYCLERS’ MERRY DOINGS.

Large white hats in Milan, Leghorn, Italian braid and English Tush work, are decorated with searfs of alry gauze or tulle, the fronts and sides a mass of roses, fleld. daisies,” pale green grasses, and other blooms, mingled with loops of the light gauze, ‘Tue Latest Buack Lace Dresses are made by sewing alternate strips of lace inserting two inches wide and black motré ribbon of the same width. ‘The fabric formed in this way 1s draped dyagonally across the moiré underdress in front and straight in the back. ‘The waist fs shirred across the shoulders and about the neck over a tight silk Iin- ing and gathered to a point at the belt fine. PLEATED Skret Walsts of striped or sprigged Unen, percale, or batiste for negligé uses are growing more and more in favor, and are worn at ali the summer resorts, over skirts of various Kinds. ‘The deep sallor collar is frequently briar- stitched with fast-dye cotton in red or blue, and the cuffs are finished to match. A row of small red or blue bone buttons fasten the blouse down the front. A Srytism Cosroae made for wear at the races consisted of a skirt of olive and Roman red striped material, in corded silk and velvet. Above this was a very long French polonaise of olive batiste, ‘with a bordering in fine Perstan coloring, this ele” antly draped. Upon the bodice portion was a rtha of the batiste latd in folds from shoulder to Waist, front and back. ‘The sleeves were in bishoy style, with a wide band at the wrist covered wi the Perstan bordering.

The waist hasa basque back and athered surplice fronts, leaving the throat. Un= jampered by a collar. The sleeves ave flared at the wrist and turned back in Pilgrim fa\hion with acontrasting 2olor. ‘The fronts are tied <n loosely with long ribbon bows. Dull green, pale hello- trope or dark Wine tints are pretty in'contrast. A Parry EVENING Gown 13 of white silk mull, It ts made over a skirt of cheap White silk, and has three narrow flounces of the mull edged with two Tows of narrow white satin ribbon. The long drapery is edged with four rows of ribbon and 1s nowhere draped high enough above the tlounces to expose the silk underskirt. ‘The waist 1s a low- necked, sleeveless, white silk basque, over which the muil fs gathered high in the throat, held there by three rows of ribbon. ‘There are ‘no sleeves, and the gloves are white. —-s00 Love’s Flower.

Finally I even condescended to ask Aunt Betsy's advice and assistance, and the result Was wonderful. I saved quite a ‘fourth of my housekeeping money, and we lived quite as Well as ever, A fellow-feeling in misfortune drew ‘us closer together, and I began to see that my old aunt possessed many excellent qualities T had never given her credit for. ‘Tom declared the loss of her money had done her good, and we certainly Were no poorer for befriending her tn her trouble, ‘SULL, at Lhe end of three months Tom looked care- Worn and worried.

On a Jury to Try Himvelt, Judge Dittenhoefer, in the New York World. “I once had to defend a man named Meyer, who was sued for certain property claimed to have been illegally transferred by him, My clerk sent over one morning from the court-room saying the case was on, and I went over to attend it. ‘The defendant ‘was nowhere in sight, and I asked for him. «There he 1s,’ said my clerk, «“*Where?’ I asked. “The clerk pointed to the jury-box, and there, sure enough, sat my client, ready to pass upon his own case, Newcombe was on the other side, and I thought I would have some fun with him} so I asked him to postpone.
