miles distant The young people, how
ever, did not nropose tQ go to Calhonn's
by rail. The rodds were in. prime con
dition, and a sleigh ride of SO miles, di
vided in the middle hyahot supper
and -two or three hours spent in danc
ing. while the horses rested, was a pros
pect much too delightful to he resisted
by any young person with a spark of
enthusiasm and vivacity about him.
The best horses to be had were engaged
for theride. Tom had no desire to mako
the trip alone with the coldly silent
Daisy and had persuaded a friend to go
with him in a doublo sleigh "and take
Daisy's cousin Stella.
Sleigh rides like this have been de
scribed so much better than I can do it
that I shall pass over this part of the
story, as well as over the delights
which followed when the merry party
arrived at Calhoun's.
It was after supper, while they were
dancing in thelong dining Toom, that
the storm came tup. No one noticed it
until it was nearly time for the gay
"party to Etnrt on the homeward trip
and the jolly host had gone to the barn
...himself to make sure that the horses
had been well cared for. When he came
Jback to IbojfctHise ho told his guests that
; he believed there would be a blizzard
before morning and that it would be
safer for them to remain at his place
overnights Then,-the. dancing ceased
and eager youiig people crowded around
uia uuui uuu jucu uuu uiiy luo uu&-
uess.
T "If there should bo a blizzard," said
" Stella, "wo might bo detained here for
Eeveral days. "
Daisy looked at her quickly, but said
"nothing. Shoiwas thinking of her ap
pointment for the next day with a
noted manager who had condescended to
try her voice. If he pronounced it good
-"-"might be offered her. Daisy was decid
ing that she should not remain over
night at Calhoun's.
rDo you think the storm is close up
on us?" asked Sander, who, for reasons
which will bo easily understood by
r those who have been in love, did not
like to miss the long ride home, under
' the stars, in the comfortable little sled
which was just large enough for Alice
aud himself.
"Icaui tell," replied Mr. Calhoun,
' stepping farther away from the house
; that he might get a better look at the
heavy bank of clouds in the northwest.
"Storms are dreadfully deceptive in
this part of the world," he added.
"Now, when I was back in York state
. I could reckon on a storm almost to a
minute, but Here Tve sometimes missed
-' it by. an hour or two. However, I think
. wo shall hear from those clouds before
- long."
'Sb you sure there is to bo a bliz-
-zard?" asked Daisy, who put littlefaith
' - in tho ordinary weather prophet, unless
he happened to mako a pudictioii which
' suited her desire.;.
"One is never sure of anything in
this world, " replied the old, man. "One
thing is certain, and that is there is a
great deal of snow m the air already,
; considering tho clouds, which means
that a blizzaidy wind is blowing. If
- those clouds contain both wind und
J 'snow"
f "Do you think it probable, Mr. Cal
houn," interrupted Daisy, "that those
clouds will break over us in less than
on hour?"
;. "They may not; they look a leng
way off."
"An hour would give lis tiino to
reach the station," said Daipy, "and
we could go into tho city on the cars."
"But our rigs," interposed Sander.
"Leave them here, and send some one
after them," suggested Daifcy.
? - f H am afraid to start when tho sky
looks like that," said Stella.
"Yon might stay here, then," replied
Daisy. "For my part I prefer to go. ' '
An excited discussion ensued, when
it was discovered that Daisy .was the
only young lady, who preferred to risk
the dangers of the storm in-order to
reach tho city. She remarked, most po
litely, but decidedly, in response to
Tom's expostulations, that sho meant
to inako the attempt, but that she did
not ask him to risk his life by accom
panying her.
"I am determined," she said, "to
meet Mr. Gilmore tomorrow, and I
havo.no doubt that I can hiro Mr. Cal
honu'tf stablo boy to drive me to the
station."
"You. will not be left to tho care of
"Mr. Calhonn's stable boy, "replied Tom
coldly. In another moment he was in-.
side his overcoat.
No further opposition was offered to
Daisy's plan. Mr. Calhoun insisted on
loaning Tom a fresh horse one that
knew the road and told him he might
leave it with the hotel' keeper at the
railway station, to be cared for until
1 tho owner came to claim him. The
horse was hitched to Mr. Calhoun's cut
ter, which had been made expressly for
travel over country roads, and plenty
of fur .robes were wrapped around the
'occupants.
The air had seemed almost spring
- like when the young people left the
"city, but a biting wind had arisen "which
blew directly in their faces as Tom
- turned tho'horro's head toward tho rail
.. .,way stajtion. They drove for some time
,;ju silence, broken-only by the clatter of
the horse's hoofs on the frozen snow
and the dismal creaking of tho sled run
ners which is always to bo heard in
. .Very colfl weather. The pir-was rapidly
peconiiug more dense with the frozen
. '; sleet, which struck their faces like fierce
' little darts. The Tvind was steadily rls--;
ing.jand it seemed to Tom. as if it came
'frorn every direction at once. In many
'places tho road was made almost im
:. passable by heavy drifts. Not a star
was tcf. bo seen in the sky, not a ray of
" light anywhere Which could have been
-tisedras -it-guide. Tho horse -patiently"
-fought his way along and Tom finally
reached tho conclusion tEatlhe faithful
creature knew more about the road 'than
he did himself. Ho certainly could not
have known less, for Tom had been
guiding hirnin a circle for the last half
hmr. .Lt'toVhiragelf, . he promptly
tm-nM' His" face bdmeward, bt Tom did
not know- that.-
Not$-ithtaridisg tlO intense- darkness
Daisy k'sew that Tom had loosened' his
hold atffke reins. .
"Are yoar Hands cohJr' V. she aafced
qmickly; it Vathe first? tinae .heiiad
spoken since, she bade her fritsicSs good
by at Mr. Calhoun's door. '
"I am very comfortable, thank you,"
replied Tom ironically. -
"Why did you drop the reins?"
"Because I can no longer seo the
road."
"Mr. Wainwright, are we lost?"
"I do not know. "
The words could npt have been spoken
with greater indifference. Tom was not
in tho happiest mood when he left the
Calhoun House. It had seemed to him a
reckless proceeding to start out in the
face of such a storm, for no better rea
son than that a girl wished to try her
voice before a theatrical manager, but
there was not money enough; in tho
world - to have tempted him to allow
Daisy to go without him. When. he
found himself alone with her, all his an
ger was forgotten in his loVe and in his
despair because of its utter hopelessness.
Then came the thought that there might
be a worse fate than to die with Daisy
before they reached the station. He liad
been excessively morbid for days,, and
thisnew fancy was a n6t unnatural cli
max to such a state oft mind; r
Daisy was irritated over his silence.
he felt that she had been'foolish in in
sisting ouUpmiug out in "such a storm,
and she wanted to say so, but it is hev--er
easy to introduce such an acknowledg-.
ment J3he, felt that it would be less
hard if Tom could be beguiled into con
versation, j
"I should have thought," she said,'
with a fepble attempt at playfulness,
"that you might have allowed the sta
ble boy to accompany me when you ,
knew I preferred it."
But in a howling wind playful tones'
are not always apparent. Tom believed
that Daisy's remark was intended as a
reproach because he had shown himself .
nuable to guide the horse. It. angered
him so that he could with difficulty con
trol himself.
"Believe me," ho said curtly, "had
I known that you preferred the compa
ny of the stable boy I Ehould not have
forced mine upon you. "
At this moment there was a sudden
jerk of 'the cutter that nearly unseated
them. The horso had plunged into a
deep snowdrift and was floundering in
an attempt to regain his footing. He
recovered himself, gave one leap, which
freed him from the cutter, and with a
snort disappeared into the darkness.
"Oh," gasped Daisy, "ho has left
us!"
Tom was himself in a moment. All
his petty grievances were forgotten in
his desire to mako Daisy as comforta
ble as possible. The true manliness
which had won him so many friends in
spito of his egotism now asserted itself.
Springing ftom tho cutter, ho spread
one of the robes upon tho snow, then
held out his hand to Daisy.
'Let mo help you nut," ho said cheer
fully, "I anj going to tip the cutter
over to make a partial shelter against
the storni."
"Must we stay here?" faltered Daisy.
Sbo was recalling stories she had read
of people who had perished in blizzards,
and was a little fearful of the conse
quences of her persistence,
"lean sea no better way," replied
Tom. "Even if we could walk in such
a storm we should not know which way
to turn. The horse will doubtless find
his way home, and when tho stable boy
knows yon are in danger
"Mr. Wainwright, can I help yon
turn the cutter over?" interrupted Dai
sy, who did not cure to hear more about
tho stable boy.
"Thanks, no. I thiukl can manage
it."
The sled was soon turned bottom up
ward against tho ' drift where -it had
stuck. Tom scooped snow from beneath
it until ho had succeeded in making a
room largo enough for two. The robes
were spread down, and when ho and
Daisy had succeeded in crawling under
the sled and had placed one of tho robes
against tho opening to their den they
were really quito comfortable. The
wind piled the snow against them, mak
ing them still warmer, and they con
gratulated themselves on tho cozincss
of their retreat. Notwithstanding the
unpleasantness of their position they
were far from being nuhappy. Indeed
Tom was., more wildly happy than he
had over been in nil his life.
When the first faint blush of crimson
appeared in the eastern sky, Calhouil
and his guests started on an exploring
expedition and had no sooner left tho
house than they caught sight of the
overturned cutter.
Don't ask me for a detailed account
of what followed ; neither my pen nor
my patience is equal to it. It began
with-tears and exclamations of joy and
ended with happy laughter and merry
jests. It is not unlikely that as long as
they live Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wainwright
will be teased about their experience in
Mr. Calhoun's barnyard and their pref
erence for a circular track when driving
to a point five miles distant.
'When Tom hears a bachelor friend
wondering how he can manage to evade
tho matrimonial tax, he invariably says:
1-By getting married, my boy. A man
is a fool to remain, pingle when t will
cost him no moro to have a home of his
own."
And if it didcost niorer" asks Dai
sy. - . s
"He. would still bo a fool," replies
Tom. .

The.rassinr of Philip U,
Wearily and slowly tho great proces
sion passed onward from Madrid to the
Escurial, the short distance of some 25
miles occupying no less than six days.
'Lying helpless in his litter, Philip H,
the ruler of such a vast empire and the
absolute master of so many millions of
people, was being painfully carried to
the. immense structure palace tomb
and church which he hiinEelf had
raised, and where he trusted that his re-
mains might repose when ho had shaken
off mortality. '
It was in June, llos.almost f en years
to a day from the first sailing of the
armada .from. .Lisbon, and. .now. hov
.qhanged the position! Still, indeed, was
Philip, king of Spain and.J?ortugal, .Na
ples and Sicily ctuES .of Milan, lord of
the Philippines and Spice islands, of
territories in the Western Indies, and of
the empires of Mexico and Peru, but on
every side were indications of the inse
curity of this vast state. The war
against England had been a miserable
failure, and tha long contention with
the Dutch provinces was every day be
coming rnore disastrous for Spain, while
the huge load of .debt which Philip had
incurred had sunk Spanish credit to the
very lowest depth. The defeat of the
boasted armada appears to have been
the turning point in Spain's prosperity,
and from 1588 tho decline had steadily
set in', and littlo by little fho power of
the once great monarchy was dwindling
into liothiuguess, while ruin and bank
ruptcy stood like a menace over the
throne, for but two years before, in an
edict complaining of the extortion of
those from whom he had borrowed such
enormous euies, the king had iniqui-.
tously decreed that all payments-of in
terest on the debts of his government
were to cease. He canceled all his bonds
and obligations and seized the revenues
mortgaged for the payment of either
principal or interest. And from that day
his credit ceased. Teinplo Bar.
The CzaririaM Mirror.
A curious legend is related in ai
English paper .conceniiijg the Russian,
gustonj which prescribes that the new
czarina piust dress on her- wedding niom
before tho historical wedding table
which, belonged to the Czarina Maria
Jvanownn. This precious pieco of fur
nituro was a gift from her imperial
fiance, and the legend relates it is the
most wonderful nuptial gift known.
Tho young Princess Marin was very
pleased and proud of it, She was also
very beautiful, loved and was adored
by her future husband. On her wedding
jhy, while her ladies were dressing her
before tin's table, all at once the precious
mirror did not reflect the superb beauty
of Maria Ivauowna, nor her magnificent
dress, nor her magnificent gems. Instead
of that u rapid vision passed over its
clear surface, scenes of bloodshed, strug
gles, misfortune, in which nppcared the
figures of her husband and of sons and
grandchildren destined to wear the
heavy crown of the Muscovite succession.
The poor girl was terribly frightened
and fainted at the sight of these dread
ful scenes, and to which future events
gave a tragio confirmation. Maria
Ivauowna, to whom this revelation was
one of advico and instruction, expressed
the desire that tho golden toilet table
should be used by each successive czarina
on tho day of her bridal, with the in
tention, perhaps, th"at if the vision,
should again reveal tho mysteries of tho
-future to another bride it would servo
as an admonition that earthly happiness
s not to bo attained here fcelow, even,

v Bast oa the Wires of a Piano.
The appearance of rust on tho tuning
pins und the steel wire3' of a piano is a
sure indication that the piano has been
exposed to moisture or dampness. The
time of year or tho age or quality of the
piano has nothing to do with it, as rust
may appear in a night. The fact that
the room is heated by a stove just out
side of it will urobablv accnniifc for the
rust, as the chances are that after the !
usual cooling of a fire overnight its I
heating in the morning would be likely
to cause condensation on the metal, and
rust would immediately appear. Do not
use oil or any greasy substance to re
move it. It will probably not do any
harm unless it causes the strings to
hrp.nk 'in -wliinh pjika thp.v will luivn tn
be replaced. Most pianos require tuning
twice a year, liie only important care
to be given a piano is to keep it in an
even, dry temperature. Ladies' Home,

Tho Colliers and Gcordies,
These coal carrying vessels, or 'co.l
liers,"have played a, very important
part in English national development.
For generations they formed the nurs
,eryof British seamen, and tho"Geor
dies" of xhe coal brigs sailing out of
thoTyno and Wear used to be accouated
among the nimblest and baldest seamen
afloat. There was not, perhaps, much
''book learning" among them, and
inoro of rule of thumb than of scientific
navigation about the management of
their vessels. But It used to be an old
saying, which, if not strictly true,
meant a great deal, that an old north
country collier skipper could find his
way blindfolded from Tyne to Thames.
A splendid sight, which many living
still remember, usod to be witnessed at
tho mouth of tho Tyne after a long
spell of easterly winds which had kept
the colliers imprisoned in port, when
200 or 300 vessels would spread their
sails as they passed Tynemouth point
on their way to the ports of the south.
These old comer brigs were by -rnrh-
meaus so black as they were painted
at least after they got away from the
"staithes," or piers, at which the dusky
contents of the pit wagons were emptied
into their yawning holds. They were
trim and taut vessels for tho most part,
stanch and well found, as they needed
to be to weather tho "winds and seas of
the tempestuous German ocean at all
seasons of tho year. All the Year
