HIS WIFE'S SECEET.
When that particularly shrewd and
business-like young man , Mr. Thomas
Partington , joined himself to Ada re
lict of Isaac Jones , his friends evinced
considerable surprise at the step ,
ifhe widow was , indeed , as they con
fessed , young and fascinating , and
had , moreover , inherited a very sub
stantial fortune from her previous
husband.
But then she was dreadfully extra
vagant in her habits , and had
lately developed a perfect mania for
gambling. In fact , her losses on the
turf and at the card table Were be
coming quite the talk of society , and
it is certain that , even during the
short period which elapsed between
her first husband's death and the
I. . date of her second marriage , her for
tune must have materially diminished
by the drains she made upon it.
In another year or two , at her pres
ent rate , she would so Tom's friends
said run through it altogether. And
then he would find himself in the un
enviable position of having to support
a recklessly spendthrift wife entirely
out of his own pocket. A few of his
greatest intimates impressed this up
on him before lie took the final plunge
and urged him to back out of his en
gagement ere it was yettoo late. But
Tom turned a deaf ear to their ad vice.
He was very much in love with the
charming widow. And besides , he en
tertained a strong hope that after
their union he should be able to re
form , or at least control , his wife's
extra vagance.
Instead , therefore , of trying to cry
off the match , he hurried it forward
to thebest of his ability , in order that
she might have as short an intervfil
as possible in which to enjoy the un
checked expenditure of her money.
But when he was married to the
Uady he found that his hope of being
.able to reform her had been decided
ly chimerical. Selfwilled and head
strong , she would scarcely endure ad
vice , much less any semblance of re
straint. So after a few months of
useless remonstrance , he gave up all
attempt to genuine reformation as a
bad job , and had to content himself
with showing silent disapproval of her
extravagance , or with throwing in
their way such feeble obstacles as he
could ,
And as time went on people noticed
that Mrs. Partington's gambling tran
sactions were on a much smaller scale.
And each day the once light-hearted
and reckless woman grew more moody
and depressed.
Tom appeared to notice this change
in his wife. His manner towards her ,
always kind and attentive , became
actually tender in its consideration ,
and he tried his hardest to soothe
away her gathering depression of
.spirits.
.His wife seemed to feel his consider
ate tenderness very deeply , for several
times as he sat beside her of an even
ing , with his arm thrown caressingly
around her , she suddenly buried _ her
face on his shoulder and burst into
tears like one whose remorse is awak
ened by unmerited and unlooked-for
kindness.
On each of these occasions Tom felt
by a certain subtle and impalpable
instinct that his wife was on the very
verge of making some confession per
haps of sorrow and regret for her de
fiant attitude towards himinthepast.
But although by his comforting words
and his soothing caresses he did his
best to invite her confidence the con
fession which he felt to be hanging on
lier lips never issued from them.
Meantime , what was so clear to her
husband did not escape the notice of
Mrs. Partington's female friends. Of
these .she had many , but by far the
most favored and confidential of them
was Mrs. Brandon , an old schoolfellow
low with whom she had kept up a life
long intimacy. Mrs. Brandon , who was
at once a very lively and a highly
sensible Jidy , had at an early period
detected the unusual doom which had
tome over her friend's manner , and
rallied her upon taking her new posi
tion to serously.
' My dear Ada , " she said at last , in
the course of an afternoon call , during
winch Mrs , Partington had been more
dull than ever. "I should nevei have
encouraged you to accept Tom if I
had foreseen what a deplorable effect
your second dose of matrimony would
have upon you. Do you know that
in the twenty minutes 1 have been
here the only original observation you
ihave made was to ask me whether I
had enough sugar ? ' What ' is the m&t-
ter with you to-day ? "
Mrs. Pnrtington muttered some
thing about a "bad headache. "
W'ilfut have you always a bad hend-
flche nowadays ? " continued Mrs.
Brandon , more
should not have alludqd to
the subject if this were the first
time that J have seen you thus. But
for weeks I have observed you growing
inoro and more gloomy and depressed.
You are { jetting quite unlike your old
self , and i cannot help feeling seriously
uneasy about you. What does it
mean ? "
To Mrs. Brandon's surprise her
friend , instead of answering , only burst
into tears and buried her face in her
handkerchief. Evidently.thought Mrs.
Brandon , the once gay and sprightly
Ada was very changed indeed.
"Come , Ada , " she said , drawing her
chair closer and taking one of her
friend's hands , "you have something
on your mind. I thought so before ;
now I am sure of it. Tell me all
about it. It will do you good to
confide to some one , and you and I
have never had a secret from one
another during the last twenty years.
Is it anything to do with Tom ? "
"No ; no indeed it isn't ! Pray
don't think that ! " sobbed Mrs. Par-
tingcon.
"Well , that's a mercy ! " observed
'
Mrs. Brandon. "Then' must be
something to do with yourself. What
is it ? "
There was a short pause , during
which Mrs. Partington's sobs slightly
subsided.
"Nell , " she said presently , "It's all
your fault. "
"My fault , dear ! " exclaimed Mrs :
Brandon.
"Your fault , " repeated Mrs. Part
ington. "It has all come of your in
troducing me to that hateful Pompa
dour Club. Oh , how I wish I had never
entered the place ! "
"You don't mean to say " Mrs.
Brandon paused and looked at he-
friend.
"I mean to say that , unknown td ;
Tom , I have been playing there every
afternoon , and losing constantly , un
til oh , Nell , promise swear that you
will not tell Tom this ! "
"Of course not. Have we ever be
trayed one another's confidence , dear ?
But you must promise me something ,
too. Promise that .you will tell
Tom. "
"I ? Oh , Nell , you don't know what
you are asking. You have not heard
all yet. I would not have Tom know
it for all the world ! Rather than
that I would "
Mrs. Partington's sobs had burst
forth again with renewed force. Sud
denly she sank back on the sofa with
a cry of pain which alarmed her
friend. Perceiving that she was really
il ! , Mrs. Brandon summoned assis
tance. Many minutes did not elapse
before one of the servants was hurry
ing off for a doctor.
Very shortly after the arrival of
that functionary Mrs. Brandon her
self loft. She drove directly to the
club where Tom Partition occasion
ally called for an afternoon on his
way home from the city. By good
luck he was there now , and the mes
sage which Mrs. Brandon sent in
quickly brought him to her carriage
door. A very few words passed be
tween them , but enough to make
Tom's face grow to twice its normal
length.
"f will be off at once , " he said.
"Do , " responded Mrs. Brandon ,
"but mind , not a word yet ! Not until
she is quite well again. "
"Trust me ! " cried Tom. He was al
ready hailing a passing hansom , and
with a hurried bow to Mrs. Brandon
he jumped into it.
When he reached home he sprang up
the steps and rang the door-bell sharp
ly. It was opened in about half a
second by the cook , who , with a look
of deep importance on her face , gasped
out : "Please , sir , will yon be as quiet
as possible. And and it's a boy ! "
Before her bewildered master had
time to make any inquiries relative to
this information , the doctor , who had
been descending the stairs when he en
tered , came up to him and took him
by the hand.
"I must congratulate you , my dear
sir , " he said , "on the birth of a re
markably tine son. I am glad to tell
you , too , that Mrs. Partington is go
ing on as well as can be expected. But
she is naturally very weak. So , if you
go in to see her. do not stop more
than a minute or allow her to talk.
Anything calculated to excite her
must be most carefully avoided. I
will call in again later and see how she
is progressing. "
At the end of a week it was evicftftt
that Mrs. Partington was only mending
"
ing very slowly."and the doctor ex
pressed his conviction to the husband
that something was weighing on the
patient's mind , the removal of which
was essential to her complete recovery.
On the same afternoon , as he sat by
his wife's bedside , with one of her
hands in his , he said kindly , "Ada.my
dear you have something on your
mind. "
A quick flush overspread her pale face
and she averted his gaze , murmuring
in a confused tone , "What makes you
fancy that , Tom ? "
"The eyes of love are quick to see
snch things , " replied her husband ,
tenderly , tis he stroked her hair with
his disengaged hand. "Do you think
I failed to remark it just now when ,
as your glance fell on the little one
there , a groan escaped your lips ? And
you have shown by many other signs
that something is troubling you. ' '
"Oh , Tom"she , cried suddenly , lean
ing forward and hiding her face on
his shoulder , "you will not speak so
kindly when you know the truth. Yet
I must tell you , my my husband.
You have been so kind and gen tie that
1 cannot deceive you any longer. But
try , Tom ( pleadingly ) , not to be angry
with me. "
"There is no fear of that , " said Tom ,
oiH'ourgingly , . "Come , little woman ,
let us have the murder out. "
"Ah , you do not know what it is , "
she went on in remorseful tones , "else
you would not treat it so lightly. Oh ,
Tom , Tom , I I have lost all my
fortune. ' '
"How did you manage that ? " he
asked quietly.
"You may * well put such a question , " '
she continued , in-a voice broken by
frequent sobs. "You may well fail to
understand my folly and madness. Oh ,
Tom ! Tom ! though 1 used to set you
at defiance in the"matter of gambling
' ft
yet your open remonstrance and silentf
disapproval in time began to vex my
heart. And when I discovered a se
cret gambling club , where I could in
dulge my insatiable passion without
your knowledge , I at once began to
frequent it.
The game was roulette , the one of
all others in which I had always longed
to join. I gave myself up to its fasci
nations , and staking wildly incurred
heavy losses day after day.
"I vowed that I would win back all
that I had los.t , and with that inten
tion , for my strange gambler's craving
was somehow dying away , staked
heavily at the tables. But my en
deavor was nothing else than throw
ing good money after bad. I lost ,
lost , lost , until my whole fortune was
gone. Do not , " very piteously , "do
not reproach me , Tom. My own heart
is reproaching me already almost
more than I can bear. "
"My darling , " he replied , "I have
no thought of reproaching you. If I
had meant to do that , I should have
done it before this , for I have known
all about it a long while. "
"You have known all about it a
long while ? " she cried , raising her
tearful eyes wonderingly to his. " 0
Tom , how did you find out ? "
"Very easily , my pet , " he answer
ed , kissing her forehead , "seeing
that the founder and proprie
tor of the gambling club where
you lost your money is no other than
myself. "
She regarded him in speechless
amazement. He went on to explain
himself further.
"Yes , it is quite true. When I found
that , advice and remonstrance were
lost on you , my dear , I had to look
about for another method of saving
you froln the effects of your folly.
And the starting of that private
gambling club was the method which
occurred to me. It topk some work
ing out of details and the emploj'ment
of a good bit of capital to get the
thing properly about. But I enlisted
the services of a competent agent ,
whom I paid well and undertook to
indemnify in case the club were found
out by the police. It has not been
discovered nor neyer will be ; for its
object having been gained , the estab
lishment is finally closed. There , Ada ,
that is enough to enable you to
grasp the truth. But , tell me , are you
sorry to learn that all the mo'ney
which you lost has passed back into
my hands ? "
' 'Sorry , " she ejaculated , raising her
self in bed and wreathing her arms
around his neck in a joyful , fond em
brace. "Oh , Tom , how'kind and good
and clever you are. I can never love
or thank you enough. "
Tom Parington gave the most con
vincing truth that he well could have
given of his belief in the sincerity of
hiswife'srepentance. Hehandedback
to her the whole of her money with
out condition or reservation , and he
has never had cause to regret it.

CAT AND RAT.
A Charitable Feline Adopts anc
Cares For a Homeless Rodent.
A laborer employed in one of the
mills at Sutter Creek has in Ins home
one of the strangest families in exist
ence. The head of the family is an
old cat , which is- the mother of a
thrifty family of five kittens ; but in
spite of the cares of motherhood , she
lias taken it upon , herself to provide
for a rat that she has- taken under
tier protection.
During a storm about two- months
ago a. half-grown ratr lame-and nearly
drowned , crawled into the ho ser evi
dently in search of food and shelter ,
and by some chance-made-its way to
: he place where the old cat lay snugly
on the' heap of sacks- with her
ramily.
Strangely the- mother seemed
touched with pity over the condition
of the wanderer , and instead of at-
racking liiin , she cooly made room for
iim and did every thing torelieve - his
sufferings. The rat displayed every
sign of "gratitude , and the miner's
'amily when they disco-vered ; the in
truder , were so struck with surprise
ihat they forbade anyone- disturb
: hem.
The result was that the rat chose-to
remain with his new-found friends , and
las now become as : locile as his foster
mother. A warm attachment seems

with persons and objects like a being
for the first time brought into the

considerable proficiency. After a few
months another fit of somnolency

Yeamans was out. The bell-boy got
his dates mixed up and told the
preacher , to step up to 140. To the

"This is Mrs. Yeamans ? " asked the

parlor of the actress.
"Yes , " was the answer , I was glad

A PARROT YARN.
Baron Rothschild Is Made a Present
of a Bird That Talks too Much.
The Baron de Rothschild of Paris ,
so runs the tale , was desirous of send
ing to his kinsman at Frankfort ,
whose birthday was at hand , some ac
ceptable token of remembrance. I
should fancy that a member of that
family would be an exceedingly diffi
cult person for whom to choose a
gift , and so-the Baron found. After
much cogitation , and many investi
gations he decided upon a wonderfully
trained and tailkative parrot , whose
faculty in leanning-any phrase that he
had been toldifu few times was particu
larly noted. One of the clerks of the
Paris House was deputed to convey
the precious fowl , toFrankfort. . Now
the weather was eoldr the young man
disliked travelling , and above all the
parrot , with the usual perversity of
his race , screa medami screeched all
night , so that noneiot" the occupants
of the sleeping carim which he and his
guardian were installed etmhl get any
rest. "Shut up , you confounded Jew ! "
exclaimed his protector in a passion
more tha n once , moved to > arztisemitic
feelings by the disagreeable journey
and the parrot's bad behavior.
At last the bird and its disgusted
protector arrived safe Frankfort ,
and the parrot was formally present
ed to its new owners , who at once
commenced trying to coax it to talk ,
Polly listened to "M. de Rothschild's
discourses for a few minutes , and then
in reply enunciated with startling dis
tinctness the latest phrase he had
learned , "Shut up , you. confounded
Jew ! " Philadelphia Telegraph.
Electric Lights om Carriages
"Pretty nice turnouts- see alona
the boulevard , " remarked William
Furness , of the City of Mexico , who
was looking out of one of the biq
windows of the Auditorium Hotel.
"But there's one thing we have that
I haven't seen in the United States. I
mean the electric light attachment tea
a turnout.
"A Mr. Cazeaux , I think his name
is , introduced them down there not
long ago. And the other rich re i-
dents are having the attachments
put on their carriages. It is the in
candescent lamp fed by a storage
battery placed under the driver's
seat. From the- battery wires
extend to the- two side lamps , tea
a small cluster rn the top of the car
riage inside arid along ; the hacks of
the horses over their necks to a
small lamp on their foreheads , be
tween the eyes. If one likes he can
have lamps of different colors distrib
uted all over his carriage and horses
and make a decidedly fetching effect. "

What a Good Woman Has Done.
It would be difficult to exaggerate
the reformation wrought in the general
tone of English society by < ueon
Victoria in the fifty years of her reign.
The fierce light that biats about
throne has never been able to reveal
a flaw in the purity of her personal
character. All her life shohas striven
to promote public and private
morality and decency , and the ollicial
example of the court which has liven ,
openly at least , in the interest oi
cleanlier anddecoium. has st-t a high
standard for society in general , and
has not been without its effect even
upon the lower and more ignoinnt
orders. Coarseness andproliigacy are
no longer regarded with admiration ,
and the clergy may again enjoy the
respect duo to religion and the professed -
fessed union of church and state.
