MISS MARTHA. Miss Martha Hailey known through out RoBCvillo ni triply as "Miss Martha" Bat by one of tho windows of her cozy Bitting room, putting tho last 6titches into a flannel skirt for old Mrs. Uodley, who Buffered terribly with the rheuma tism, which was not improved by the weekly scrubbings bho ga'e the offices in tho brick block on Main street. Miss Martha had just sewed a stout horn button on tho waiat lelt, and was about to fold tho skirt up, smiling at the thought of the old woman's delight when sho should receive the gift, when the hall door opened without tho ceremony of a preceding knock, and a neighbor, Mrs. Marsh, came in. "You ought not to sew by twilight, Miss Martha," she said, as she entered tho room, "you'll ruin your eyes. But that's not what I camo here to say; Mrs. Norcross died an hour ago." Tho smilo faded from Miss Martha's face, and her ryes grew humid. "Poor woman!" she said, in her low, sweet voice. "So she has gone at last. She 6ulTcred a great deal." "Yes, and sho was glad to go. But she had every attention, in spite of being a stranger hero. Dr. Edgecourt visited her every day, and never charged her a cent, I know; and nil the neighbors sent things to eat. Cancers aro terrible things. She was a mighty patient woman. Poor soul! Cut now," with a sudden change of tone, "what's to be done with Eva?" "lias sho no relative at all?" "No one. JSho is too refined and pretty to do housework, even if sho was strong enough, which sho isn't. Sho can't go to tho poorhouse, of course, and she hasn't a dollar there's to bo a subscrip tion to nay the burial expenses." Miss Martha stood smoothing the flan nel skirt with her white, thin hands, her face wearing an expression of deep thought mingled with anxiety. Once she opened her lips as if to st)cak, then hesitated and closed them again. Ought 6ho to make this sai-iilico which seemed urged upon her? It would be selli&h not to do so. She raised her head and said, in a firm, sweet voice: "The girl must como tome, since there is no one else to take her. I have plenty for one I can make it enough for two by exercising economy." "That's just like you, Miss Martha! I knew you'd make tho oiler. The girl lias got a iirst rate education, and she can 6tudy up enough to take a school by next fall. Of course you won't want her around after you are married." 5- A deep flush came into Miss Martha's naturally pale face; she dropnod her eyes, and turned .".way from Mrs. Marsh, with somo murmured excuse about making tho flannel skirt she held Intoa bundle to be sent away. The neighbors agreed that Eva Nor cross couhl not havo found a better home than sho bad at Miss Martha's. The lit tle cottage stood in a largo garden, well tilled with fruit trees and shrubs. In tho summer it was gay with flowers of very many varieties, and sweet smelling honeysuckle wandered over and nearly concealed the fence and front piazza. Miss Martha had lived in tho cottage with old Hannah for twelve years. For three of these years she had been en gaged to Dr. Tom Edgecourt, whose practice was vet too small to enable lum to marry, lie was a year younger than Miss Martha, and tliis fact often stung her very keenly. She sometimes stood before her looking glass and attentively studied her face, wishing she was 20 instead of SO, and had the bloom of ten years be fore. Her hair was still glossy and abundant, her eyes still bright; but the Jilumpne's and bloom of her early girl lood had fled forever. Occasionally she wondered if Tom would always lovo ier, and tortured herself with imagining it a sacrifice for him to marry her. Would not a young girl suit him better? She started like a guilty thing when Hannah's tap at the door "or call from the hall below inter ruDted these meditations. She was ashamed of herself that 6ha thought so much of her ueparted prettiness and the difference between her ago and Tom's. Yet pho could not drive away her harass ing doubts, nor would sho try to set them at rest by speaking of them to Tom. She was shy and sensitive, and so was he. and they were both very proud. Eva Norcross found her new home a very quiet but not an unhappy one. She was gentle and timid, and old pot cars for the society of girls of her pwn age, Sho iik-i.1 nothing better than to lie In an easy chair all day with a book or gome embroidery i:i her white, pretty hands, which MLu Martha was never weary of admiring. The dead mother had in dulged her one child, and never taught her to mulio herself useful. There was no need for her to be active in the cot taro. At tho outset Miss Martha had told her tliat sho would be required to do nothing but study, Hannah being fully competent to do tho entire work of the small estaousliment. "You must educate yourself to teach,' Mrs. Marsh said, one moraine, as 6he en tered tho cottage in her abrupt way and . - t i - i t found ljva eniorpiuenng a cusmou. ' You can't Hye on ' Miss Martha all your life, " Next fall v e will try to get you the district school at Dodd's Corner," Eva shuddered and grew a little pale, while tlu work fell from her hand. "I have heard that tho children at Dodd's Corner were very rough with tho last master," she said, in her soft, low voice. "A woman might have more influence with 'em than a man," said Mrs. Marsh. "Anyhow, it won't hurt you to try it a spelL Miss Martha," as that Lidy came in from tb kitchen where she hid bee4 jnaking a "quaker" for ipld Mrs. Green'a cold, "you must get the doctor to give Eva some strengthening medicine. Y el low dock tea would put new life into Jier." Dr. mac court called that afternoon for a moment, on Ids way to make a iro fessional visit, and Miss Slartlia told him what Mrs. Marsh had said. The young man Bat down by Eva and took her hand in bin. Mian Martha watched him closely, wondering if he noticed how round and white was tho wrist on which ho pressed his finger. "Sho is not ick," ho naid: "ull Bhe need Ufresh air and exercise;" and then he projHxed that she should wrap up and get into his sleigh at tho door and drive with him to tho house of his patient, two miles away. "Can't you go, too, Martha, he asked. "We will crowd you in somewhere." "I do not care to go," she said, and Tom thought her manner rather cold and depressing, lie did not urge tho matter, for ho was easily wounded, and never asked her a 6ocond time to grant him a favor. He was not a demonstra tive lover, fierhaps because Miss Martha never encouraged caresses. She did not think it modest or womanly to do so, vet she often caught herself wishing that Torn would lo more affectionate. They had lx'cn engaged for three years, but had seen comparatively little of each other, owing to Tom's studies and ioor patients of which there were many and they had never grown familiar, as is tho case with most lovers. Miss Martha watched the couple drive away. Tom bent to arrange tho buffalo robe more closely about ins companion, and said something which made them Ixrth laugh, and Miss Martha turned quickly from tho window with a pain at her heart. Tho girlish face framed in fleecy wool of tho black hood was so very lovely 1 Would he mark the differ ence, and regret Sho took up her work and began to turn down ahem; but she could not drive away tho haunting thoughts which tor mented her. "Three years!" she murmured. "It is a long engagement; and I have heard it said that men aro not patient waiters. I wonder if he has ever wished to be free again." Tho ride proved of much benefit to Eva, who was brighter and gayer for days after. Seeing this, Tom took her with him frequently, never thinking that he was causing lus betrothed pain by 60 doing. He came ol'tener than ever to the cottage, playing chess and cribbage with Eva at tho center table in the evening, while Miss Martha sat by with her sew ing and wished she were Eva's age. "Do you think I will stand any chance of getting the schooj af JTodd's Corner next fall, Dr. Edgecourt?" asked Eva, one evening. "You surelv don't think of applying for it!" cried Tom. "Why, the children aro little heathens. They throw ink bottles and spitballs at tho teacher and swear like troopers. No, no; we must not let you go there." "I must work for myself," the girl said. "I cannot consent to remain de pendent on any one." "Wait until next fall comes before you begin to worry," Tom said. "It's only March, now, and something better may turn up in the next 6ix months." Eva, as was her custom, left the room as soon as the game of chess was over. Tom always had a few minutes alone with his betrothed lefore leaving tho cottage. "I am so tired of boarding," he said, when, after some unimportant conversa tion, he rose to go. "I wish I had a home," and ho 6ighed. For somo minutes Miss Martha ptood where he had left her, one hand bearing rather heavily on tho small halj table. Could ho only Jiaye known what 6tress she luid upon his careless words! She mechanically repeated over and pver the last sentence ho had uttered, and remem bered tho bitterness of ijs tone. Then she walked slowly (nto the small parlor again, and dropping on her knees by an easy chair, buried her face in the soft cushions. "I am no longer young," Bhe said in a hoarse voice. "lie sees his mistake, now that Eva is here to point a compar ison. And yet how can I give him up! How can I offer hirn his freedom? Could I live on without the hope that J held so close to my heart for nearly three years? But I must decide. Not now. I will wait just a little while, to be sure he has ceased to love me." Now was Miss Martha's chance to say something tender and cheerful, but the words refused to form themselves on her lips. She was very shy, and lately she and Tom had seemed to be drifting very far r.part. Tom looked at her a moment, aa if expecting her to speak; but as sho did not do so he turned almost angrily from her, a dark red flush of wounded pride dying his frank, fair face. He wished ho liad not uttered that longing for a home. "Oh, I forgot to tell you," ho said, as he reached the hall door, "that my brother Arnold is coming to Roseville to morrow. He has some affection of the head, and wants to put himself under my care for a month or two. Ho will leave his law business entirely ha his partner's hands. Poor Arnold! He lias oilier than physical troubles! There's an old saying that women are at tho bottom of all mischief, and men are uch fool.? sometimes! Good night, Martha;" and the door closed loudly. Eva noticed that Miss Martha was very pale and distrait the following day, and was not looking her best when Arnold Edgecourt camo with Tom to call. She had never seen this brother before, but he was so like Tom in every way that she Ii!:ed him at once. He was, however-, more a man of the world, than Tom, and while Tom's face wore a look of frank good nature, Arnold's was clouded by an expression of melancholy and discontent. This Miss Martha ascribed to those secret troubles of which Tom had 6poken, and she wondered if some woman had jilted the handsome lawyer. Several weeks passed by, and Miss Martlia was no longer her former bright, cheerful self. She did not know what it was now to be without that sharp jain at ln.-art, and the estrangement between her. elf and Tom seemed to grow greater every day. Ho withdrew more and nio.v into himself, and she made no ef fort t j restore the 0I4 pleasant relations between them. She watched him closely, antl saw that he seemed annoyed and distressed at Arnold's decided attentions to Eva. Once she heard him remonstrate v.-itli lus brother, but Eva's name was the only word she caught distinctly. She tliought Tom jealous, and afraid that the girl's heart would be won from himself. "It must come," Miss Martlia would murmur to herself. "I must offer him hi j freedom. Why cannot I be bravo and Co it at once? Ho loves Eva, but ho ij net free to win her, and Arnold's atten tions pain cud trouble him." But how can I givo Liui up? I will wai$ jus a little longer." Thus from day to day she put off tho evil hour in which she was to see her dearest hopes crumble to dead ashes, khvj shuddered whea eha thought of spending the rest of her life without loin's love. One evening the two yonng men came by invitation to the cottage to nupper. Miss Martha sent them into tho garden to smoke, while Bhe, with Eva's assist ance, was busy laying tho table with the Ix-st damask and china. Presently she went into the parlor to get from the old cabinet which Btol between tho win dows some silver Hjioons which liad le longed to her grandmother. The shut ters were closed, but tlw windows were oen, and the low murmur of voices came to her ears. Sho know the broth ers were just outside on the rustic bench, and Bhe was axut to close the cabinet and speak to them, when she heard Tom's voice uttering words which sewmed to full on her heart like drops of molten lead. "It is a great mistake for a man to en gage himself to a woman older than himself. Ho is sure to rejieiit soon or lato. - I was a fool, and now that I love Eva with all my heart, as I havo con fessed to you, I wish tho other was iu Guinea. And what am I to do? My honor binds me to her confound it all. ' Miss Martha did not wait to hear Ar nold's answer. She walked slowly and falteringly from the room, and went up stairs to the suire cliauilier, where she locked herself in. The young men wondered why supper was so late, but just as their patience was entirely exhausted Eva camo to t all them, and then went in to tind Mi; Martha alrer.Jy seated at tho head of the small table laid for four. She made no excuse for delay, and the supper was so excellent that the young men forgot all about their vexation. Tho evening passed very quietly, Miss Martha evidently making an effort to le entertaining; and seeing this, Tom and Arnold left very early, the latter, as Miss Martha noticed, having hardly 6poken to Eva sjneo supper. She thought this was out of respect for his. brother's feel ings, which had so lateiy been revealed to him. The next day Tom was surprised In his office by the appearance of old Hannah, who quietly laid a letter on his desk and went out again. The young doctor's face grew very white as ho read what Miss Martha had written. Without explanation or excuse she requested that their engagement might be at an end, and said that as it would be better that they should not meet for a while at least, she was going to an aunt's in another town, to stay sev eral months. Eva would remain af the cottage with old Hannah- For some time Tom sat gazing at the letter, as if turned to stone. Then he touched a lighted match to jt and watched it burn away to. ashes. ''That is over," ho said, aloud. 'I have been expecting it. I have seen it in her face, and yet I had not the cour age to ask her about it." It was a sultry July day, the railroad journey dusty and fatiguing, and Miss Martlia was very glad to Btep out of tho cars at Roseville. She walked slowly up the dusty road leading to her cottage. It was nearly three months since she had left home, and during that time she had neither written npf received a single letter. She had riot given Eva her ad dress, and no one knew where she had gone. She had wished to cut herself loose from the pasthoping to forget it.but 6ho had not forgotten, and he? jiearf iad not lost its flul pain, fiecollectionsi pf Tom stung her as she saw" the familiar streets amj stores. Perhaps he and Eva were married; "You don't mean to say that's ypu, Miss Martha?" cried a familiar voice, and Miss Martha paused beneath the shade of a spreading elm as Mrs. Marsh came hurrying towards her. "Wei, yoxi've come too, jate. Lye augha. a? lock smiths, ypu know. It's all over Eva's i gone pil with him, and they're married by thi3 time, I liaven t a doubt. Miss Martha staggered back and put her hand over her eyes. The shock it was to her to hear of TPm's marriage showed her, tQ her mortification, that all hoie had not been crushed from her heart, as Bhe had thought. "I I expected it," she stammered. "Well, it's more than any ono else did. He went off soon after you left, and no one thought to see him again. But hack, he came yesterday, and eoped with. Eva late last evening. Oh, it was wicked; it was scandalous; and the whole 6tory is all over town. I wonder now if you know about Miss Somerby?" "No," said Miss Martha, white to the lips. "Well, it seems he was engaged to this Miss Somerby, a rich old maid. She is mad enough at being jilted. Somebody telegraphed to her father, and he was here this morning to learn the facts of the case." "What! Tom engaged?" cried Martha, in amazement, "Who said anything about Tom? You must be wandering in your mind. It is Arnold Edgecourt I'm talking about." Without another word, without the slightest excuse, Miss Martha broke away from the hand of the friendly gos sip, and almost ran down the street. W hen nearly at her own gate she rushed blindly against somebody, and looking up with a hurried excuse, saw Tom. "Martha!" he gasped, forgetting for tho moment in his excitement the gulf between them. "You have heard it all! I see it in your face. Come right in; you look really Uh I 44 not knqw ybu cared so much for Eva. But the scandal will all die put, and 1 know Arnold will be good to her. He sent me a telegram sav ing they were married in Brierly early this morning. He was to marry Miss Somerby next month, but he never loved her; he was tempted by her enormous wealth." By this time they had reached the cot tage and gone into the little darkened parlor, where the shutters had been care fully closed by old Hannah to keep out dust and flies. "Tom," said Miss Martha, laying her liand on his sleeve, "can you ever forgive I me? I see everything very plainly now. It was not you I heard say a man was a ! fool to engage himself tq a. woman older than himself. Your voice and Arnold's are bq much alike, and I did pot know of his engagement." And then Ehe told all she had heard when she bad gone to the old cabinet for spoons the evening of the cupper. 'Martlia," said Tom, in his manly way, "I never loved any woman but you. I did not know you were older than I, for you never spoke your age, and it would liave made no difference to me anyhow. I thought" cf Eva only as a child, and knowing of his engagement, of which ho had forbidden nio to speak, it distressed incs to see his attentions to her, for I saw that sho was learning to love him. That evening in the garden I gave him a long lecture, and pointed out to him the harm ho w as doing the cuL He promised to sec her no more; out, though he went home a few days later, he corresponded with her, and ended by eloping with rhe yesterday evening. I did not imagine for an instant that you thought me in love with Eva. We both laUred under a mistake, Martha. 1 noticed j our grow ing coldness, and thought you were lie coming weary of your engagement to a poor village doctor. You did not Beem to care for love making or caresses, and I could not, of course, wish to force my affection upon you." "I was wrong, Tom, for I do lovo you dearly;" and then, as he took her in his arms and pressed her to his heart, kiss ing rejH'atedly tho soft cheek, on which there was now no lack of color, sho added, softly, "and our engagMnont wed not le of longer duration, Tom. You hesitated to marry me while 1 had t:o little, and you nothing; but vou will not hesitate now that I am rich. Yes" as he glanced at her black dress "my aunt is dead, and she left me $40,000. 1 havo suffered enough for my mistake, and what is mine is yours, dear Tom." And Tom's tender kiss gave cheerful assent to all she said. Boston True Plag. lie II:ul u liwl Memory. Mr:;. Verl)osity wanted a ackage of yeast xnvder the other day.

A writer in The Chinese Times sayg of Clunese prisons that the amqmt of ex tortion that goes pq in them is amazing, and th? V'arders. and others display sur prising ingenuity in extracting money from the unhappy prisoners. The new comer almost invariably fprgPts to fee the night watchwaq. the consequence Is that sleep is rendered almost irujos sible by the terrible noise which is kept up outside his window all night, and he speedily apologizes for his forgetfulness and niakes good tho oversight. If the ooolie who cleans out the cell is not satis fied he collects all the insects he can find and introduces several hundreds into the apartment of his victim, who is then only too glad to call his services, jntu requisi tion to get Tii pf then again, even at an exorbitant paoe. Many of the warders md servants are criminals who have es caped capital punishment by theomLion of the emperor to mark their names for death when the li:t for the autumn exe cutions is submitted to -.u. This list, whjph sets, forth the name and condition pf the criminal and the circum stances of his crime, is divided into three parts. The first contains the new cases, the second those which were not marked the previous year, the third those which have escaped marking for two years. It is said that the emperor marks about eight names in ten, and that a man who escapes once is safe from subsequent marking, although he has to go down to the execution ground the two following years. The list is brought from, the pai ace direct to tho place pf execution, and unti its arrival neither criminals nor officials know who are to die, the un happy victims only being sure of their fate upon hearing themselves called out to pay the last penalty. Tho prisoners who have escaped are imprisoned for life, but they have a very easy exist ence, and as they aro employed in the frison and share in the extortions prac iced on other prisoners, they often amass considerable wealth. London Times. Iloraeiihoea Made of Slfcw. The cart horses of Japan are very cu rious. There vomes one along the nar row business street of Tokiq now. Ho is led by a rope lialter in the hands of -a brown skinned old man, who has a flat round piece of closely braided straw as big around as a good 6ized parasol on his head. His feet and those of his horse are shod with straw, and the straw shoes are in both cases tied around the ankles with straw rope and are made of ordi nary rice 6traw braided, 60 that they form a sole for the foot about half an inch thick. These shoes cost about a cent a pair, and when they are worn off they are thrown away. Every Tcart has a stock of fresh new shoes tied to the horse or to the front part of the cart, and. in the' country hero it was formerly the custom to measure distance largely by the number of horse shoes it took to make the distance. So many horseshoes made a day's journey, and the average shoe lasted, if my mem ory serves me, for about eight miles of travel. It Is tho same with the coolies. They throw away their shoes when they are worn out, and last night when I was riding in one of these man power babv carriages my ostrich like steed stopped, threw away hi3 6traw shoes, and went barefooted. As he did so, J watched the roadway and counted eight pairs of worn pii( straw shoes in a single block. Frank G. Carpenter's Letter.
