BROWN BESS,
wish i coubd
Hell Brown Bosk,"
paid Susy Boss,
rinsing the dishes
she had Just
washed.
“Oh, Susy!" cried
her brother.
"What In the
world do you want
to sell Brown Bess
for?" her mother
asked, looking up
front the dough she was kneading.
"I could go to the Academy, mother,
for two more terms,” was the nnswer.
"Then perhaps I could—get the school
at the Corners."
“Nonsense, Susy. I need you to help
me,” her mother snld. "Keeping school
Is a thankless business.”
"It's money," said Susy, "and I do
long to help myself, and you, too. Mon
ey will do everything that needs to be
done."
"Yes, thnt's a fact.” spoke up Tom,
"and there's lots wants to be done. I’d
like to clear that live-acre lot for po
tatoes and corn, but I can't do It.”
“And the house wants shingling,” her
mother said plaintively, her careworn
countenance taking on another shadow.
"The front door’s got a crack all the
way across,” Tom spoke up again, "afid
there ought to be a fireplace In granny's
room. Then there’s the barn; It's all
we can do to keep the hay dry."
"I know all that," said Susy, "I know
the house Is getting to be a scare-crow,
and the barn Is worse, and that's why
I want to be earning. As for the
shingles, I should think you could put
them on yourself, Tom; yes, and mend
the door.”
"Where's the shingles?" Tom asked
In his matter of fact way. "Where’s the
nails? Where's the hammer? The old
one Is broken past mending. And
where’s the money to get them with, I
should like to know?"
"Sure enough,” said Susy, "unless I
could earn It. That's why I want to
sell Brown Bess.”
“And If you do sell her, you won’t
get much,” Tom said. "She's so full of
her tricks—the craziest colt I ever
saw'!’’
i m more ana more arrald to have
you ride her,” her mother said. "But If
you should Bell her, there’s the mort
gage to be paid In October."
"If I sell her," said SUBy quietly, “It
will be to finish my education.”
"That’s always your cry,” her mother
went on, In plaintive tones; "no matter
what's needed; but I s'pose we must
give In. Bad as the roof Is, It shelters
us. What would we do without a house
over our heads?”
"I’d sell the cow, too," put In Tom.
"And then grandma would Just about
starve," the mother supplemented.
Susy turned away from the table,
and grieved, but she said nothing, only
ran upstairs to her own room.
“They don't see It!" Bhe sorrowfully
murmured. "They can’t understand that
It’s their good and comfort that I want
to get that school. I'm willing to wear
old clothes and to walk three miles and
back every day for the sake of finishing,
my education. Let the roof leak awhile
—If Tom don’t patch It, I will. Let gran
ny sleep downstairs where there's a
Are. I’ll help them all In a year or two—
but they don't Bee It—they won’t see It.
If I can only sell Brown Bess! I'd go
and beg time for the mortgage, or I'd
borrow money—or, maybe I can get
enough to repair the heuse and go to
school, too. If only Brown Bess wasn’t
such a little vixen! It will go hard to
part with her, though; It was father's
last gift.”
Tears rushed to the dark eyes, but
she repressed them and went down
stairs.
After helping her mother about the
house, she donned her sunbonnet and
ran to the barn. Tom was rubbing
down Brown Bess, whose bright, glossy
coat shone like satin.
"Much as I can do to take care of
her,” said Tom. “She want’s a regular
groom who would break her of her
nasty little tricks. See how she throws
her head up, and look at her eyes,
flashing like Are! Are you going to the
store? Mother wants sugar and molas
ses and vinegar—and I’ve got to go In
the field.”
"Yes, I’m going,” said Susy, "though
I dread it. the bill is so large. If 1 sell
Brown Bess, that's the first thing I'U
pay.”
“That and the mortgage,” said Tom.
“Well. I’ll saddle old Dick.”
Susy mounted to the back of the slow
old cart horse with gloomy forebodings.
It was a warm September day. Even In
the midst of her anxiety, the beauty of
the ride to Htllston soothed and de
lighted her. Every detail of the way
was familiar to her; yet when she came
to Silver Ledge Falls, and saw the
white spray leaping over granite rocks
and dancing amopg tiny islands, she
stopped old Dick and sat enjoying the
scene as if she had never beheld it be
"Good morning,” a voice said, behind
her.
"Oh, Charlie!” she exclaimed with a
start, "I didn’t hear you coming.”
He held out his-hand a look of un
utterable love making his rugged face
beautiful.
"If father had only lived," she said.
"But you know It is Impossible now,
Charlie. I can't leave mother—not yet,
and I must finish the course at the B
Academy, and keep school at least a
year before I get things straightened
out.”
He gave a long, low whistle, then
urged on his horse, but stopped again
till Susy came up with him.
"You know I’ll wait for you. Susy, as
long as you say, but It’s rather hard
on me, as I'm forehanded and ready to
marry. Susy, come, make up your mind.
My .house is a large one. I'll take your
mother and granny; Tom can run the
old farm, and-”
"What! let you support me and the
family too? Never!” and her eyes
flashed. “I would never permit It!”
"Well, Susy, I've declared my willing
ness to help you, If you would only let
me,” said Charlie, “but since you won’t,
don’t look so sad and worried, my
darling. It’s worth serving and saving
for seven years if I can only win you
at last for my wife.”
"Oh, Charlie!" she said brokenly,
"your love is priceless! Only be pa
tient.”
• "I’ll try, and keep on hoping,” he
said, and they parted at the store.
The grocer met her with, a smile. Ev
erybody liked Susy. No girl more
genial than she under ordinary clrcum- I
etnncos, but today her face was cloud
ed, her manner preoccupied.
"Mr. Lee, I have made up my mind to
noil Brown Been,” she said, after getting
the things she needed. “Do you know
anybody that wants a horse?"
"Dear me! going to sell Brown Bess!
Well, 1 was thinking of buying a young
horse for my Alice. Is she "safe for
a girl of ten, do you think?” the grooer
asked.
Susy grew pale. She had not antici
pated a question of that sort, but she
answered after n moment's Indecision.
"She Is fond of taking her own head
sometimes. No, Mr. Lee, If I find It
hard to manage her, she would never,
do for your little girl."
"Ah, I'm sorry for that, Miss Susy,”
said the storekeeper. "But I know a
man who wants a spirited horse. What
would you sell her for?”
"I leave that to the purchaser,” Susy
made answer. "Papa paid seventy-five
dollars for her more than a year ago,
and I wouldn't want to take less than
that, for I need the money very much,”
she went on, "and If you will be so
kind as to take an interest In the mat
ter-" She stopped, her eyes wist
ful.
"Why, of course I will," the grocer
responded. “Ill send my boy to your
house with the groceries, and he can
bring the horse back with him. If any
thing Is done in the way of a sale, I'll
let you know at once.”
Susy thanked him and went on her
way home. As she came In sight of
the house, an old-fashioned, two-story
building, where dilapidation was rend
ered picturesque by a profuse growth
of Ivy that covered the front porch and
much of the exterior walls, she felt more
comfortable as she thought over her
prospects. In Imagination she had her
mother quite reconciled to all her plans,
her school-life assured and all things
going on swimmingly. For who knew
but Brown Bess might bring her a hun
dred dollars, she was so spirited and
handsome?
Work and home seemed brighter. The
grocer's boy came for the horse, and
though It was hard parting with the
pretty creature, Susy, In expectation of
results, bore the separation bravely.
“Can’t we take a little of the money
1 you get to shingle the roof?" her moth
er asked, as the horse was led away.
"I hope so,” Susy replied blithely.
"And you still think of going to school?
Ain't you too old?”
"I'm not eighteen yet,” was Susy's
answer. "Many girls go to school till
they are twenty.”
“And there's clothes to think of,
dresses and bonnets and shoes.”
“Oh, they'll be provided,” Susy Bald,
with a little laugh.
"An’ winter's cornin'—an’ it's two or
three miles to the ’Cademy,” her mother
went on, each time throwing a more
plaintive cadence Into her voice. "Tom's
clothes are terrible patched, an' mother
needs flannels. I ain't so young as I was
once, but I ain't sayln’ anything about
myself, on'y It’s kind o’, hard to spare

, “SUSIE IS TO BE MY WIFE.”
you,” and the lines in her mother's
weak face deepened.
“Mother, I wish you could see it as
I do. I must go to the Academy,” Susy
made reply. “It's the opportunity of my
life. But I tell you what I will do. If
I get a hundred dollars for Brown Bess,
I'll divide even. Fifty dollars would go
a long ways, wouldn't it?”
“Well, yes, fifty dollars would git ev
erything we need,” was the reply. “But
you’re never goin' to get no hundred
dollars. You'll be more than lucky If
you git fifty.”
“Well, mother,” said Susy desperate
ly, “if I only get fifty, I’ll divide even.
It will be thirty dollars coming in every
month if I only get the school.”
“I don’t' see’s ther’s any chance of
that,” said her mother, with a woe-be
gone face.
Day after day Susie waited, but no
word came about Brown Bess. Tom de
clared that he believed there was no
prospect of selling her, but one day
Charlie Grant drove up to the housf,
his face fairly beaming.
“I thought I’d bring you the news,”
he said, as he came Into the bright liv
ing-room.
-nave tney sola Brown Bess?” Susy
asked, her voice trembling in her ex
citement to hear.
"Well, yes—that Is If you’ll take the
price they offer,” Charlie made answer.
“Oh, I hope it's a hundred,” said
Susy.
“A hundred!” laughed Charlie. "Is
that what you value her at? Lucky for
you that I was in the bargain. That
horse will be worth thousands of dollars
before long. The man who bought trains
horses for the race-course. He has dis
covered remarkable qualities in Brown
Bess as a trotter, and Is willing to give
you a thousand dollars for her.”
A thousand dollars! Susy stood for a
mament like a statue, then she flew Into
the kitchen where her mother was mak
ing the dally batch of bread, exclaim
ing:
“A thousand dollars, mother! we're
rich! Brown Bess Is sold for a thousand
dollars! You won’t have to work hard
this winter. Tom can get two suits of
clothes If he wants them, and buy the
five-acre lot. Grandma can have all the
fire she needs; the roof shall be
shingled, the mortgage paid off, and—
and-”
"What am I to have?” Charlie asked,
as she stopped out of breath, he having
followed her into the kltchert.
She turned around, and blushing
beautifully, held out her hands. He
clasped them both and drew her to his
bosom.
“What do you think of this, mother?”
he asked of the glad-hearted woman at
the breadpan. "Susy is to be my wife."
"Why, I think It’s a good deal better
than keeping school,” she said.—Ladies’
World.
MODERN VENETIAN WOMEN.
They Are Barely Pretty, Often Charm.
Ini and Penally Uandiome.
Venetian women are rarely pretty,
often charming, generally handsome,
says Harper'B Magazine. And all of
them, without exception, walk splendid
ly, not taking little, mincing, feminine
steps, but with a fine, grave stride, due
partly to the fact that they are accus
tomed to wear heelless slippers, which
oblige them to plant the feet llrmly and
whole foot at once, without a chance of
tripping on toes or pounding on heels,
as women who wear light tight boots
are able and apt to do; they walk with
much the same action as If they were
barefooted and Just as well. And they
use the whole body In walking, not with
the undulutory motion of Spanish wom
en but with a movement of the whole
back and shoulders in the exact swing
of the stride. Venetian women do, how
ever, remind one In many ways of Span
ish women In their way of doing the
hair, of wearing the mantilla, for In
stance, the Moorish element coming out
In both, so that In Venice, for Instance,
one finds, quite as a mattpr of course,
an Autlco Caffe del Mori, a cigarette is
still known as a spagnoletto, and the
dialect touches Spanish at all points.
The types of Venetian women vary In
every quarter; the women of the Cas
tello have quite a different look from
the women of the Dorsoduro. In a sea
port town there Is always a certain
Intermixture of races, and Venice, with
the different layers of Its different oc
cupations and conquests, Is variable to
a greater degree than most seaports.
Women and girls, even children, dress
exactly alike, and there is nothing more
comical, more charming, than the little
people of 12, who look like 20; brilliant,
fascinating little people, at once very
childish and very mature, with their
hair colled at the back like their elders,
their skirts down to their heels, their
shawls, too long for them, dangling to
the ground, but worn with an air of In
finite Importance and self-sufficiency.
And the colors of all these women, the
elegant olives, the delicate blondes, are
thrown out so well, so finely adorned,
by the vivid colors of shawls and
dresses and stockings, which would be
gaudy elsewhere, but which here in the
heat and glitter of such an atmosphere
are always In place, never immoderate.
They are all a part of the picture, the
treat genre picture which is Venice.
NO F1SHIN’ HERE.
How an Oil Cltjr Angler Encountered
Such an Admonition.
An OH City gentleman, who, like many
others, is fond of Ashing for trout, had
nearly Anished a day's long tramp on
a stream which was strewn with cut
poles, bait boxes, and other evidences
of the native angler. He had noticed,
but Ignored, an occasional Blgn tacked
to a tree of “No Ashing on this stream,”
not allowing the weather-stained ad
monitions to interfere with what little
enjoyment he was getting. The day
wab nearly over and he was nearing the
mouth of the stream, when he was
hailed by a resident of a neighboring
farm house.
“Hello, Cap’n!”
“Well?"
“Ye been Ashin' up there?”
"Yes.”
“Can ye read?"
“Yes.”
“Did ye see that sign tellin’ ye there’s
'no Ashin' up here?’ "
“Yes, and it’s true, too.”
Then the tired sportsman stepped on
to inspect a likely hole, and it wasn’t
until after he had put on a fresh bait
that a light seemed to break in on the
farmer’s understanding, who grunted
and faced about for home.—Oil City
Blizzard.
A SAWED-OFF MOUSE TRAP.
Cut Out One Hole to Please the Cue
tomer.
The willingness of the country mer
chant, when he has competition, to
oblige all customers, is sometimes al
most pathetic. The other day a farmer
entered one of the hardware stores in
Reading, Mich., and asked to see a
cheap mouse trap. The dealer handed
him down a wooden trap that had three
holes for mice.
“How much?” asked the farmer.
"Ten cents," said the merchant.
“That’s mor’n I can afford to pay,"
said the farmer. Got any for Ava
cents?”
The merchant had none for Ave cents,
and the farmer was about to depart,
when the hardware man called out:
"Hold on a minute!” He took the ten
cent trap to the back part of the store,
took down a saw and sawed out one of
the holes and the catcher with it, says
the Reading (Mich.) Hustler, and
brought the mutilated trap back to the
farmer ,who paid his Ave cents and went
away with the trap, apparently well
satis Aed.
A Wonderful (tablet.
Dr. Guthrie tell* this story of a won
derful goblet, which the genius of a
heathen fashioned, teaching a moral
which many a deathbed has fearfully
illustrated:
Having made the model of a serpent
he fixed it In the bottom of the cup;
and there, with gray eyes gleaming in
Its head, and fangs raised to strike. It
lay, coiled for the spring. Beneath the
ruby wine, the cup is raised, the
draught is quaffed, the dregs are
reached, and now that dreadful head
rises up, too late to warn. And so, when
pleasure’s cup is nearly emptied, and
the sinner with unwilling lips is drain
ing its bitter dregs, shall rise the ghast
ly terrors of remorse and death and

A FORCED RIDB.
A Confederate Soldier'* Horse Dashes
Wildly Into the Enemy. j
John Gilpin's famous ride was beaten
by one. which a confederate soldier was
forced to take during an engagement
between Quirk’s scouts and a regiment
of union cavalry. The two bodies of
soldiers were standing face to face and
the bullets were flying thick and fast
through the air. The light was a des
perate one, and each side seemed to
stand its ground.
Suddenly, as the light was at Its hot
test, a horse dashed out of the confed
erate line and started In a direct line
for the Yankee regiment. On the
horse’s back was a man named Eng
lish, who was leaning back in his sad
dle and pulling with all his might In a
futile attempt to stop his frightened
horse.
The animal was yellow In color and
in running took long, clumsy jumps.
The rider Anally saw that he could not
stop the frantic animal and he made
up his mind to make the best of his
situation.
He leaned forward in his saddle until
his head almost touched his horse’s
neck, and his hands clasped the bridle
near the bit. Even the rider’s ears
seemed pinned back, so great was his
effort to make himself as small aB pos
sible. His face was as pale as death.
The Yankees saw the horse with lta
rider making straight for them. Some
of the soldiers ceased firing and looked
excitedly at the half-maddened animal
flying toward them. He reached the
regiment, but did not# stop. The fed
erals almost fell upon each other in
their efforts to get away from the
horse’s heels.
The animal went plunging through
the center of the line of soldiers, foam
ing at the mouth and with head down,
and then dashed on through the regi
ment, the soldiers making way for him
all down the line.
Not a shot was fired until he had
got out of range, and then nearly
half of the regiment, who had man
aged to recover themselves from their
astonishment, fired at a cloud of dust
rising In the air, but the horse and rider
were at a safe distance.
The horse made a complete circle,
returning to the confederate company
in safety. When they saw their com
rade had returned without a scratch
from his dangerous ride, they almost
forgot the fight that was before them,
and there went up a great cheer.
WELDING METALLIC BODIES.
Royal Society of Belgium Hai Promul
gated Some New Pacta
The Royal Society of Belgium has
published some additional facts In re
gard to the welding of metallic bodies
by means of simple pressure at temper
atures far below their fusing point. In
these researches the plan pursued was
to put the metals in the shape of cylin
ders bounded by plain sarfaces, great
care being also taken as to their purity,
and, having been mounted and welded
together by means of a hand-screw,
they were placed in a heating oven and
kept at a constant temperature between
200 and 400 degrees for from three to
twelve hours. The result, as detailed,
shows the most perfect Joints were pro
duced with gold, lead and tin, while the
worst were with bismuth and antimony;
two cylinders thus welded together
could be put In a lathe, one of them only
being held In the chuck, while the other
was being worked upon by a cutting tool
without coming apart. They could be
separated with the aid of pincers, but
then a rough breakage was produced
which did not coincide with the original
plane of separation. It appeared, too,
that the more crystalline the bodies, the
less Is this phenomenon of Incipient liq
uefaction exhibited, the commencement
of its appearance in the case of plat
inum, for Instance, being at 1,600 degrees
below Us fusing point—that such a liq
uefaction or softening actually took*
place being abundantly proved by ex
periment.
A PECULIAR FALL.
Plunges Headfirst Into a Posthole Seven
Feet Deep.
Mrs. Sarah Lewis, of Sioux City, la.,
is the victim of a peculiar accident,
from the effects of which she is not
likely ever fully to recover. During
the past few days the Home Telephone
Company has been digging holes all
over the city for poles to be used in con
nection with its telephone system. Mrs.
Lewis knew that several had been dug
in the vicinity of her house, but had
taken no particular notice of their lo
cation, and when she stepped to call
her children, who had been playing in
front of the house, she did not think It
necessary to look out for them. The
children did not prove to be as near as
she had expected, and pushing through
the tall grass along the sidewalk In
search of them she suddenly stumbled
over some obstruction and plunged
head first down one of the holes. The
hole was 7 feet deep, 26 inches in diam
eter at the top and 22 at the bottom, so
that Mrs. Lewis, whose arms were pin
ioned at her sides, was unable to re
lieve the weight resting on her head.
She remained in this position for near
ly half an hour, when a passer-by hap
pened to hear her groans and pulled her
out. She was then unable to stand and
soon lapsed into unconsciousnes, in
which condition she has remained near
ly ever since. Her nervous system is
greatly shattered by the accident, and
It is feared her brain or spine may also
have been injured by the fall.
Once More Tanner.
Dr. Tanner, M. P. for Cork, has dis
tinguished himself in more ways than
one. Some days ago he sat down in the
hair-dressing saloon in the House of
Commons at a quarter past 4 to have
his hair cut. The barber had barely be
gun when the division bell rang, and the
member for Mid <~,ork had to rush up
stairs. The operation was resumed after
a delay of twenty minutes, and the bar
ber had half finished the task when the
bell rang for another division. OfT dart
ed the doctor once more; and when he
returned the hair-dressing was resumed
da capo, but only to be again interrupt
ed. When the third division bell rang
there was another occupant of the hair
dresser's saloon in Mr. R. G. Webster,
who had Just been lathered previous to
shaving. Dr. Tanner proposed they
should pair and they did so. And by this
expedient the doctor was able to get his
hair cutting finished by 7 o’clock, which
he thinks Is a record in Its way.
