The time c:imo when John's friends brave

jMcuhai trait of churacter would not lorever

luunb him to ovcivome it. He would exevute
mi order or restmt an insult on tho iitsUmt,
Init af Ur all ho was only IW.hlul John I'l in
gla. Many vry orwl peopl'j amx-red nt tho lxiy

eiKiUiain-i;, :i.lviwl that ho lx punished. They

Jh:i in ail these j-cars h:id two staunch
friends his mother mid th old family physi
cian. He iften flisapiKjiutod thcui, but thoy
always excused rum.
John lscni:ic a man and acrpiired a m(ins
ability in action. People could not under
stand it, Lilt nature lmd in some way suited
her growing and developing prts-essj-s to his
peculiarity, and tlieiv was no denying tlie
fact, he was n man. Another surpri.se
awaited the icople John chose to commence
life in Chicago, the very last place, they
thought, for n young man of his pwuliaritu3
to cet i-iu The home ) eiple who had always
Litdt'?d tlvt ho shouhl le wbipjied out oT his
dif?ideilco,losins sight of him, tvtLsed to worry
about him and ceased to annoy his mother
by iiinaTtUieut stijrjje rtions and cruel proplie-
ciea. John I'ringle in Chicago was always a
standing puzzle t them. They tallusJ about
the ciuse., and Lttighed ati the)- a.sktd:
"AVhat w-ill the boy do? "What can he do
in fcieb. a placo."
. JoLm's lite in Chicago vran answering these
ques;iois very much to his own satisfaction
jind hie mother's. He was still controlled by
an involmitarv, shrinking sensitiveiK'ss, but
thin luirdly ever interfered with his business.
The ETiiue quality that made him ap.xhl
s bo'.ti' nt school made him a successful busi-
nejs man in ais little way among men w ho
were th& very piincea of buMiii-ss men.
As an observer out-side his special business
el--', Juhn was not practttaiL He lived
jaietly ftt a jilcasant lioarding-house, knovv
Ug littie about the city, and without learn
ing anything about his fellow boarders. He
.ire-! well, he paid his bills regularly, he
conducted himself with propriety, and tho
warders knew liiLle alxjut hinu He was al
vpys relVmsI to as tlie quiet youn; man
n the corner room, third floor, and entered
io further than a moiv reference into gen
ral converfatioji.
John was content to be left alone. He
-nought at first that he was to lie persecuted
by a young lady hoarder who sat near him at
he tabl--. He prided himself a little on the
turned coolness that drove her from him or
.iat checked her impulse to become ac
.Viamlcd. Ho was sure she was an actress,
abd that the young man who sat beside her
.was unduly familiar and her lover. After on
interval cf some months the simple fact that
the two woi-e husband and wife, and that the
lady's advances toward him had lieen insti
gated by her husband's suggestion that the
quiet young ir-an was homesick, forced itself
upoi him, aud caused him to gnash his teeth in
self-censure. But ho made mistakes in re
gard to the relations of others without mend
ing his ways. He built on first impressions
an ideal picture in which he assigned persons
and places situations in tlie general grouping,
and he coutinued tx dream about them on
this basis never cariirj for facts, and there
fore n-ever i:npr?s-.l by then.
John far?I porsecvitioa from anothen
qruu-ter. His employer had known his mother
when she was a girl, and was constantly
sounding her praises. This employer, John
kne-, had a daughter who was spoken of by
gentlemen as sprightlj, vivacious, and self
possessed. John disliked to meet self-pos-sewscd
people, and yet he admired them. He
faincied that this young lady would meet him,
that she would make an effort to become ac
quainted, that he would be invited to the
bouse and make a hundred blundei-s, aud that
all these blunders would be paraded by the
sprightly young lady in hor conversation
with her many gentleman friends. Once fan
cied, John aosumud this as true, and resolved
to -war against fate. He met the young lady
first seated in a carriage with her father and
mother, and did not look at her even when
formally presented. Ho was seized with ab
solute fright a few days afterward when Mr.
Pograve invited him to dinner. He put in
tho stale excuse of a headache; aud did not
go. He received no other invitation, and his
good sense told him why. But even at this
tacritice he was content to escape acquaint
ance with the charming, self-possessed Miss
Pograve.
He was strangely situated. In stirring,
driving Chicago he knew scarcely a dozen
people by name, while very many faces were
familiar to him. All these faces had histo
ries titled in his imagination, and as far as
John's reasoning powers were concerned, as
firmly fixed as though based on facts. Many
people Ixjwed to him. and John bowed me
chanically in return, but this did not increase
his range of acquaintance nor his opportuni
ties for acquiring society news.
This man, shrinking from contact with
people, was yet iutereted in jieople, and in
teiestcd in observing and studying them.
Th-- ex os tion of ISTo wns a delight to him
in that i afforded the best opportunities to
observe people in varying moods. The
dreamer awoke to new realisations. People,
real people, now that he dared to look them
ia the face, were groat curiosities. His im
agination was severely taxed in assigning
them all to ready-made histories. Among
t.h-3 thousands of women he knew., not one,
and yet lie liked the face, aud among so
a
many be acknowledged a longing for tha
companionship of some one.
During the exposition an hotel elevator car
ried people from the first floor to the dome
above and galleries extending from it. The
Like view always took John to the dome,
where his love for the picturesque was satis
fied, and his disposition to dream given opjxir
tunity for indulgence. One day as John
threw himself loungingly on the cushioned
seat of the elevator, and the upward move
ment had commenced, be saw a face in the
crowd in front that startled him and brought
him face to face with tho experience of his
boyhood. .Engaged in a pain-giving effort
to place the face on the right shoulders, John
was carried iflentlessly upward, realizing that
tt would be hardly possible to find the face
and rron acain tn the arreat crowd. Thl

In the days that followed John was in a

could not find Gnu Iiartlett, and he had
grown strangely lold in looking into
women's faces, Thero was niiotJ:-r chaugo
that he did not comprehend until fttrrward.
He was nt the exjKs:tion me evening, more
in a business way than in the way of pleas
ure, and with mind intent on bmauos he had
left Grace liurtlctt in the background of his
visions, which ulways stood so near the renli
ts of his olservation as to seem tangible.
As he entered the art gallery he saw standing
in the full light, Grace Daitlett. The scene
was like a tableau. Tho woman stood with
face turned to take on over-the-shotilder
glanco at a picture. As she was drawn away
by a gentleman, John's impulse was to go to
her with utstretched hand, but as he Ixiwexl
with lioyish eagerness illuminating his fao,
he saw the well-de-fined eyebrows of the lady
lifted in a queer phase of sni-prise, and saw
her lijis treinl-.ling in a curious smile. John
felt a rigid sjiot in each cheek, as though the
rushing blood had been frozen in its course,
aud hia old sensitive diflidouce overwhelmed
him.
He shrank not only from contact with this
woman, but from contact with any jierson.
His stunued senses entertained but one prop
osition. Grace Bartlett had lieen drawn
away by a gentlemnn, and she hul given him
the look of a woman declining to recogiifza
some one claiming recognition. Perhaps this
man was her husbamL t"ho lived in the city
undoubtedly, or she would not be at the ox
position at night. And why should Grace
Bartlett live in the city unless sho had been
brought here by a husband. As she was
married, John shrank now from an acquaint
ance that he had been so anxious about five
minutes before. He recalled with sickly dis
gust the oft quoted assertion that only the
man of much assurance (lie he bud or good)
wins the regard aud love of woman, aud
John Pringle became melancholy under tlw
conviction that ho was not made for thi.
world.
In a revulsion of feeling he went to tho ex
position to see curiosities, interested no longer
in faces. Standing one day where he could
watch thi strange contortions of a white
faced monkey, be .stooped to raiss a chatty
litt'.e 8-year-old girl, who stonily held to the
theory that tho monkey had the stomach
ache. Something in her eyes recalled Grace
Bartlett of the long ago, and while in the
daze of a new surprise he saw a gloved hand
touch his arm, the very timidity of the touch
thrilling him, and heard a voice say, "Mr.
Pringle, isn't itf and turning, John leheM
the half expectant, half doubting, wholly
bright face of Grace Bartlett. He was de
lighted at his own conduct. He felt like
patting himself on the back when he realized
that he had taken the lady's hand and had
greeted her pleasantly and without embar
rassment. This was more than he had ex
pected of himself undor the circumstances,
and for the moment he was proud of himself.
The lad3, as she moved away with the reluct
ant little girl asked, "Can't you come and
see usf ' John rememoering tuat us possi
bly included her husband could not form an
answer. Embarrassed, the hidy moved away
at the beck of a gontlem.ui, and John Pringle
stood gnashing his teeth at his own stu
pidity. The next day he met the lady on the street
and walked with her the short distance of two
squares. She had the old charm of manner,
but in the place of the da-shing lioldness that
characterized her as a girl, was a suUlued
self-posse.-vsion. She exhibited an earnest in
teiest in his aifairs that reminded him of Ws
mother, ami ho was altogether euchauted.
Again he met her at the exposition, showing
its wonders to a friend. He joined them and
heard Grace addressed constantly as Jennie.
"Why was this! Because she was married, he
supposed.
But as he smiled at entertaining such a
thought, and raised his eyes to look at a rol
licking crowd scrambling into the elevator
for a trip to the dome, he saw among the
scramblers the face of Grace Bartlett. He
turned with a face full of wonder to look at
the woman beside him, and to ejaculate.
"Your double is in that elevator. How she
frightened me I" But the elevator had gone,
and he proceeded to explain, addressing the
lady absent-mindedly as Mi Bartlett. She
said good-naturedly, "I am not Miss Bartlett.
you know,'" aad he rescinded instantly: "Of
course not. I forgot. But you will excuse me.
John now felt a desire to get away from
his companions. Who was the woman in tba
elevator He must kuow. And knowing she
had not come down, and that she could not
come down until he was at the top, he went
up, squeezed in among a crowd of captious
people. At the landing he took his stand, de
termined to intercept tha unknown when she
came to take the cl. valor U j.;odown. He
saw her at last, a gay spirit au:oug a crowd
of young people. KI:-.: ir.t.ie forward without
a sign of recognition, calling the attention of
her companions to his intent look. He
crowded into the elevator after her, lv.it he
could find no excuse for speaking to hor. She
stepped out at the bottom, and he saw that
Ae was about to lose his opportunity. He
stepped forward ami blunderiugly asked:
"Excuse me, but what is your name,
please f" aad she, turning on him n
look of indignant surprise, answered
with a mannei that said, "2'oue of
your business. So expressive was ths ac
tion that John did not hear the words spoken
nor heed them. He acted like a dolt. He
stared at the young woman iu stupid arton
ishmeiit, and she, turning to look at him
when some distance from him, laughed a
genuine country laugh that started all her
companions in a fit of merrim?nt. And
laughing and capering, they were lost ir. tbt
crowd.
John sat down overwhelmed. IT" ha1
sought to settle a question by direct inquiry,
and had been met by rudeness in a woman.
But who vai this woman' Just then he saw
her coming toward him. She came eagerly,
and John conkl not analyze the look on her
face. She came directly to him, and holding
out. her hand, said, duplicating the worcs of
another, "This is3Ir. Pi ingle, isn't it' You
mu't ex'-ur.e me. I didn't know you. I'm
sorry I si6ke that way. But jou know how

her face, eyes, nn I her manner all recalling
memories of the old time. John was be
wildered, and 6aid. haplessly, "Won't you
tell me who you art"'
"Grace Bartlett. I thought you knew."
"But Grace Bartlett was with me when I
naw you first, not half an hour ago."
A mystified young lady looked into the
eyes of a thoroughly mystified man.
John ventured the remark, "But I suppotw

The ladies were disjiosod to tant-ilie him,
but a disposition to n-suine tho attitude of
Mr. l'ringleV friend on tlm part of ouch led
to a happy dissolution of th. peisocutiiig
combination. John understood that tho
women ' would not, long lie good friends,
whic h, in his obtuseiKias ho wonderM at. It
wns soon explained that tho woman Mr.
1" iii'le had as .u:ii d to l Griuf Bartlett
was Sliss IVigrave. J-.he had lieen puzzlod und
vextsl by his conduct when iutnuluccd many
months treforr, and in her young woman's
indignation resoIvel to ignore him. His con
duct the first night lib met her at the cXm4

quite as inexplicable to h.er as his previous
hue of action. The incident had Ixh ii talked
over at home, and on advice of lier father bho
had M token to Mr. Pringle when it seemed to
her his attention to her little sister afforded
opjHrtunit. She couldn't understand why Mr
Pringle should not have recognized her, and
John did not Iteticr the cxjiii-ssion on her
face when he admitted that he did not .ok
at her face when he fir.st met her, and tliat ho
never saw her until he met her at tho exposi
tion and thought she was Grace Bartlett.
This was an odd confession to make to a wo
man wdio was conscious of beauty of fact and
charm of manner, and who was coui ted on
that account.
John had seen the face In the crowd at the

Walking with a handsome wominon elther
side, John managed to say something like the
above, and to say it in such a way as to friva
the ladies more insight into his nature than
any person had ever had ln-fore. They were
interested as well as amused, aud said so with
their good-byes.
The end was inevitable. John Pringle wns
jolted out of the rut in which he had hoen

A Colored I)o.le.
Chicago Times,
The palaful charge ia made by many re
spectable and intelligent colored persons of
New York, that Mr. Alexander Powell, tho
president's valet, is a colored dude. Previous
to his promotion to the White House Mr.
Powell was a likely young coon, respected
and beloved in colored social circles. But
since he has become the dusky Ganymede
who brings the president his matutinal "eye
ojtener," he has affected the garments and
the distant hauteur of the dudicat dade in
New York. The colored brethren with whom
he was once popular have been amnzed at h.'s
airs, and in upper circles his arrogant treat
ment of his colored friends has produc d
much ill-feeling. Mr. Jarrett, a colored gen
tleman, whom a New York reporter inter
viewed on the subject, says: "I done
