Harry Birkinbine, the engineer of the Water Works company, returned yester. day from his trip castward, he having been visiting tho foundries to hurry up the iron pipe, the non-arrival of which has eaused delay in finishing up the work, He succeoded in getting mattersarranged so that all the pipe is to be out of the foundries in about two weeks, 8o that it looks now as if the works could all be comploted by the latter partof themonth, Birkinbine is doing his best to bring about the finish, C— Big Bargains, Harkness Bros, come out with an ad vertisoment this morning, which ought not only to attract attention by its size, but by the wonderful bargains which a offered’in it.

If you can’t afford to buy a Newmarket overcoat, buy a coachman’s coat and re- move the front buttons. Standing collars are less suggestive of lynching parties than formerly, boing cut lower and worn larger. Outside of Chicago it is now regarded as impolite to beg cigars and tobacco when you have plenty in your pockets. To ejaculate, “‘Here'sto you!” every | time you take @ sip of lemonade witha friend is no longer considered ‘‘do rig- ueur.” Very stiff Derby hats are still in vogue, and will probably continuc so until hod: carriers learn to climb ladders without dropping bricks, Impecunious _swells will be glad to know that wedding vests are now cut higher in the neck, so that if unpaid washerwomen robels at the last moment a dickey can bo worn, Rubber coats are now very popular for strect-car wear on rainy days. They turn the drippings from your own clothos to those of your neighbors and in & very crowdod car will be rubbed nice and dry by the other pussengers before the jour- ney is ended. The Lows of Trade. “Iwenty-threo dollars for that ’ero stove!” she cxcluimed, before a Wall Stroet News man, as she held up her hands in horror, **Yes'm— twenty-three.” “But iron is down.” “Yes." “I've soen in the papers during the lus month where as many as six bigiron com- panies have failed.” “Well?! “‘Well that ought to makoestoves cheap- er, and I know it.” “‘Madam, in the last two months death hag laid his hand upon as many as twen- ty-five young 'vns in this town.” “Yes, poor things ' “But are nursing bottles any cheaper than three months ago’” *N-0,” ghe slowly admitted. Of course not, madam. The laws of trade are immutable, The best I can do is to throw in a horse-radish grater, if you take the stove at $23. o — The Laws of Trade, “Twenty-three dollars for that 'ero stove!” sho exclaimed, before a Wall Street Newsman, as she held up herhands in horror, “*Yes'm—twenty-three,” ““But iron is down.” “Yes," ““I've seen in the papers during the last month where as many as sis big iron companies have failed.” “Well?” ““Well that ought te make stoves cheap- er, and I know it.” “Madam, in the last two months death has laid his hand upon as many a8 twenty-five young ’uns in this town.” “*Yes, poor things.” “But are nursing bottlea any cheaper than three months ago?” “N-0,” sho slowly admitted, ““Of course net, madam.

After duly admiring the placoshe put a timid hand on his arm and said: ““‘But, Arthur, dear, lot's have no wine init."” “Why?" he asked in surprise, “Bocause I have resolved if 1 am ever the mistross of a house there shall be no liquors kopt in it friends.” ““Why, Katy, you are unreasonable, I did not knowlyou carried your temporance opinions so far as that. OF course, I shall keep wine in my houso and entertain my frionds with it too.” Sho raised her faco appealingly. ““Arthur!” she said, in a tonoe of voice which he knew how to interpret, Arthur'a faco grow clouded. “But you cannot fear for mo,” e said, with half-offended pride. “I must fear for you, Arthur, if you begin in this way. And I fear for others besides — for the sons and husbands and fathers who may learn at our cheer ful board to love tho poison that shall slay thom,” They went up the steps again and sat ona sofa in the dining-toom for a fow moments, while Katy put on her hat and drow on her gloves, The argument was kept up. Tt is un- necessary that wo nhnu‘i\ll repeat all ! was said on both sides, * It ended at last g similar discussions have ended bofore. Neither was willing to yield—Katy, be- cause she felt that her whole future hap- piness might bo involved in it; Arthur, becauso ho thought it would be giving way to o woman's whims, and would sacrifice too much of his popularity with his friends. He had bought this house, paid for it and furnished it handsomely, and in a fow weeka was to bring Katy as its mis- tress, All the afternoon they had Leen looking over it together, happy as two birds with a new finished nest. But when Arthur closed the door and put the key in his pocket, in the chill, waning light of tho December afternoon, and gave Katy his arm to see her home, it was all *broken up” between them, and a notice “To Let” was put over the door of the pretty house the very next morning It was the most foolish thing to do; but then lovers can always find somothing to quarrel about, They parted with a cool bod even- ing.” She went up to her room to cry ho went home hurt and angry, but secret- ly resolving to see her again and give hera chance to say that she was in the wrong. But the chance noever came. When he called again sho had left the town, and he could find no traco of her. * * * * * * All this happened more than a year be- foro I saw Katy; but wo threo ‘“facto girls,” who lodged at Mrs. Howell's her, of course, knew nothing about it. 8he camo to tho factory and applied for work. The superintondent_thought her too delicate for such labor, but she per- sisted; and in fact, she improved in health, spirits and looks after she became used to the work and simple fare of the factory girls, Sho was strangor to us all, and it seemed likely that she would remain so. But one day Mary Bascom's dross caught in the machinery, and before anyone else could think what to do, Katy had sprung to her side and pulled her away by main strength from tho termble danger that threatened hor. After that Mary and Lizzie Payne and 1 were Katy's sworn allies. Woall lodged together in the big “Factory Boarding House.” But Katy took it into her head that we should have much mcer times in a private lodging to ourselyes, and when she took anything into her head she generally carried it through. In less than a weck she had found thio very placo sho wanted, arrang- ed matters with the superintendent and had us sheltered under Mrs, Howell's vine and fig-treec. We four girls were tho proud possessors of a tolerably large double-bedded apartment with a queer little dressing room attached--*‘and the liberty of the parlor to receivo callers in” ~u proviso at which we all laughed. This was ‘*home” to us after the labors of the day. Indeed and in truth Katy made the place so charming that wo for- got we were *factory girls” when we got to it. BShe improvised cunuing little thipgs out of triffes that are usually thrown away as useless, and the flowers growing in broken pots in our windows were & glory to behold. She always had a fresh book or periodical on the table,and, botter than this, she brought to us the larger cultivation and the purer taste which taught us how to uso opportunities within our reach, “What made you take to our style of life, Katy!" nukm{ Lizzie one evening as we sat in the east windos watching the ming of the stars and telling girlish dreams, “Destiny, my child,” answered Katy, stooping to replace the little bootsho had thrown off to rest her foot. “But you might have been an author- 088, OF & painter, or a—a bookkeeper, or Lizzi knowledge of the world was rather limited; Katy broke in upon her “Thore, that will do, 1 was not born a genius, aud I hato aritbmetic,” “But you did not always work for a living " said Mary. Katy laughed 4 quecr, short laugh. she said, *‘and that's why 1 don't know how to get my living in any way but this, 8o behold hoa honest fac- toy girl!" Bho rose, made a low bow and a flour- ish with her small hands, and we all laughed, although she had said nothing funny. “Milly,” sho mid, “‘pleaso light tho lamp and got the magazine, while I hunt my thimble and thread. Ladies, I find myself under tho necessity of mending my gloves this evening.

Ho left his affairs in the hauds of his creditors—having satistied himslf that they conld gather enough | from the wreck to save themselve: Ho had been educated for a physician, though fortuno made a merchant of him, Learning from a friend that thero was an opening for a doctor in Fenwick, he came here and began practice. Dr. Sowell had gono off on a visit, leav- his patients in charge of the new doe- , and 80 it came about that on that Saturday evening ho was on his way to visit Maggio Lloyd, the sick girl at™ the lodging-house, whon, just after turning the corner near the news-shop, he saw a brown glove lying on the pavement. o was about to paas it by, but a man's in- stinct to pick up anything of value that seoms to have no owner made him put it in his pocket. Ho forgot all about it the next minute, But when he had made his call and re- turned to his consulting-room, in taking a paper from his pockets, the glove foll out, and he picked it up and looked at it with idle curiosity. It was old but well preserved. It had been mended so often, but so neatly as to make him regard mending as one of the fine arts. 1t had a strangly familliar look to him. _ Little an1 brown and shapely it | lay on his kneo, bearing the form of the hand that had worn it. 5 he gazed at it there came to him the memory of an hour, many months past, when he had sat by Katy’s side on the small hands into o pair of brown gloves 80 much like this one. Ever sinco that nover-to-be-forgotten day tho vision of his lost love, sitting thero in the fading light, slowly dra on her glove, her sweot oyoes filling as they talked— quarrelled, we should say, perhaps—had gone with him as an abid- ing memory of her, until he had come to know each shade of the picture— the color of the dress, the ribbon at ;lu- throat and the shaded plume in her hat. He looked at the glove a long time. He had thought it might belong to one of the factory girls, and he found it near the lodging-house. But it did not look like a ‘‘factory hand’s” glove. He would ask Maggie Lloyed, at any rate; 80 he put it carefully in his pockot un- til he should make his calls the next morning. Ho had suffored the glove.to become so agsociated with the memory of a past that was sacred to him that he felt his cheek burn and his hand tremble as he drew it forth to show it to Maggie, who was sitting, in the comfort of convales. cence, in an arm-chair by the window, watching the handsome young doctor write the prescription for her benefit. By the way, Miss Maggio, do you know whose glove this is?" Maggio knew it at once. Gardiner's glove, *‘Miss Gardiner!" The name made his heart beat again, “In she ono of the factory hands?’ **Yes; but she lodges with Mrs, Howell uite out of town, almost; sho was here to see me yestorday.” “Oh, [ seo!” relevantly. **And can you toll me how to find Mrs. Howell's house! 1 suppose I could go by and restore this glove to its owner.” Maggie thought this unnecessary trou- ble, but she gave the required direction and he went out, saying to himself, *‘It can't be my Katy, of course, but the glove shall go back to its owner,” * 5 . ¥ * x It was Miss Mary and Lizzie went to church that Sunday morning, Katy declared sho couldn’t go, having but oneglove. I stay- ed at home with her, and offered to keep Mrs, Howell's children for her, and so persuaded that worthy woman to attend worship with the girls, And this is how it came about, that while we were having a frolic on the car- pet with the children in Mrs. Howell's room wo heard a ring at the door, and Bridget having taken herself off somewhers, thero was mno help for| it but for one of us to answer the sum- | mons. “You go, Katy,” whispered 1, in dis may. *I connotappoar.’ Katy glanced serencly at hor own frizzy | head in the looking glass, gave a pull to | her overskirt and a touch to her collar, green sofa in the dining-reom of **their | t house” (alas) and watched her put her | g said he, not tho most | — = — SHERIFF'S REPORT., ) Under dote of May 16. 1888, Mr, leaiah Cook. fore morly sherf of Skowhogan, Me., W ites as follows: 1 have been afflicked fur over twenty ( 0) vears with w weaknoen of tho kidneys and liver, and have 1 I the haok and sides, which were bronght upon me in the first-place by exposure during my stay in Callfornia during the early settloment of the 1and of gold.
