THE MILLIONAIRE'S DAUGHTER.
Now and then a girl becomes an ac
tual belle. Ella I.owo Mas actually a
belle. Mie was verv handonie. and
the only child of a millionaire. Mie
dressed perfectly, and had everv possi
ble accomplishment. When she "entered
a room she somehow threw all the other
girls into shadow. A crowd gathered
about her chair, and recognized beatific
pouted in indignation at their neglect.
hcthcr she would have been so much
admired had she not been an heiress, it
would have been hard to say; but she
had had, on an average twenty offers of
marriage since fhe "came out," and
had not yet accepted any one as her
chosen husband, though she was thrcc-and-twenty.
Perhaps the pleasure she
took in her hellchood was too grca.
.At last, however, almost? on her
twenty-fourth birthil.il'. .h ttn.i t-
hxan PI- ntnganet, a young exquisite of
the axUiclic typo, and urged on by his
mother and nil his man sisters, engaged
bjtrsclf to him with her father's consent.
When she d?d this, one young heart
ached sorelv that of her far away
cousin, Roderick HIair. a plrysirian new
Hedged, who lived with his mother in a
pretty country town on thn Mmiur.n tt
paled and moped, and his mother knew
well what troubled him.
"Why did you never speak to Ella?"
sho said. "How do Vou know she
could not have liked you?"
"Mm was too rich, mother." said
Roderick, gloomily. "I could not seem
to bo a fortune-hunter. I would not
owe so much to a wife."
"Not if sho loved youP" asked tho
mother.
Rut the Son Would hnX'n no ninr tnll-
about tho matter. Tho girl never could
havo been his. Ho hitmolf did not un
derbtand why he should feel more un
happy than before. Perhaps it was be
cause, as his mother said, ho did not
know but that sho might havo liked
him.
And Mr. Evan Plantaganet exhibited
Irs prize in public, and his mother and
sisters boasted of his engagement to
"the daughter of Mr. Lowe, the well-
Known millionaire."
Suddenly there came a crash; a start
ling piece of news petrified tho fashion-

She lias found him.
"My dears, get married as soon at

must find room for me somewhere
within its walls, dear madam. I think
we will all be very hrppy toge.hcr.
There, no talk about it now. Vou have
Cnrm-Mid VOUraclf to a rich worn in
against your will, Roderick, and will
have to nut up with it,"
And no took his daughter away,
wrapped in her fur-lined cloak, and
smiling back at her Jover.
Again the m llionaire Lowe was a
nine days' wonder in the c'ty of New
York. Again the fash'onable world
offered its invitation, and Evan Plant
aganet's mother went to call on dear
Ella, and tell her how "Plantaganet

and would not have exchanged her true

J ho milliona.ro Lowo had embarked
in speculation, and his millions wero
gone.
Tho great house was closed. Mr.
Lowo and his daughter went to livo on
an upper floor, in a plain street, and
the mother of Evan Planta:ranct de
clared herself shocked at the old man's
deception. In fact, the youn.r man
hna-clf was horrified at tho situation of
his prospective father-in-law, and hav
ing drawled out sundry reproaches, was
oflercd his freedom, which he took at
once: -
Ella was free, and poor. Rodcrick
JJJair, in his country homo, heard tho
ncw. A few hours afterward he was
at Mr. Lowe's door.
Ho found Ella as bright as over; in
fact, she had long since grown weary of
I lantaganel and his affectations. She
woro a pretty dross and smiled and chat
ted gayhy. The humble rooms woro
pleasant and well-arranged. Never had
Rodorick passed a pleasantor ovening.
He returned home full of hope and hap
piness. 1
Hut though ho felt himself honored by
tho privilege of visiting in that humblo
abode, most of Ella's admirers, and all
her fashionablo lady friends but three,
gradually dropped her. Sho was no
longer a belle. When sho accepted an
invitation she found herself treated liko
other girhvTho lesson was salutary.
If her vanity was hurt, her good senso
was improved.
ne pleasant winter day sho accepted
the hand of Roderick Rlair. It mi-ht
bo a Iiwg engagement, for both were
poor. ht they trusted each other.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Blair was delighted.
She came down often and brou-ht all
tho village news. Amongtothcr7hins,

a rich mnn, whose name she did not
know, was building on tho very next

It was a man-el of perfection, thor
oughly well appointoit in everv way.
nnd it was now being furnshed from
roof to basement in tho mo-a elcant
manner. The furnishing did not como
at hrst, of course. Indeed, it took six
months to arrivo at that point. And
a stained glass window in tho hall and
a conservatory, thoroughly stocked,
brought tho old lady down on a special
visit. l
Mr. Lowe was always interested in
her account of tho place.
"I should like to see it," ho said. -I
will come up with Ella next Monday,
and. no doubt, I may get permission to
go through it with you."
"Delightful!" said Mrs. Blair. "I
adore handsome houses."
Ella smiled: -nnd thn mil .... .i .
the following Monday Mr. Lowe, hearty
and happy as in his palmiest days, of
fered his arm to Mrs. Rlair. and leav
ing the young people to follow, escorted
her from her own quiet homo to tho
elegant new mansion. The man who
was carefully polishing tho stone porch
opened the door for him, and all four
entered.
Certainly a handsomer in.i .
more home-like house, could not have
been found in all America. Mrs. Blair
was in raptures. Roderick, lookinxr
down at Ellla, said:
44 My dear, I wish I could give you
such a home;" and she answered:
44 Ah. Roderick. I wish I could bring
such a home witk me whoa I come to

Almost every night of his life for the
last twenty-three years a Detroitcr has
been aroused from his slumbers by a
poke in the ribs and a voice whispering:
"John! John! do vou hear that?"
On such occasions the conversation
has always run in one channel, and
about as follows:
"Wha'.zcrwant?"
Don't 'ou hear that noise?"
" No."
44 Iysten! I tell you some one is rais
ing a window!"
Oh! bosh!"
"For Heaven's sake, John, get up or
we'll be murdered in our beds! I hear
some ono moving around in the dining-
room;
44 i et'em move!"
"There it is again! If yon don't get
up I will, for I'm all in a chill!"
There was no peace until John got up
and stumbled around the house with a
rusty old revolver in his grip. He never
expected it was anything more than the
wiuu or um irosbor inu cui, out auuosl
every night brought a repetition.
The other night ushered in an entira
change of programme Just before
midnight the wife elbowed his spine
and whispered:
"Mercy on rac! but I feel a draught
of cold air!"
44 Nonsense!" growled tho sleepy hus
band. 44 And I hear some ono walking

John oborcd. Ho felt tho cold air on
his legs as he tramped through tho up

tho open front door. When he reached
tho threshold ho saw a. nmn nmnm,.

He loft the door open nnd walked up
stairs and jumped into bed, but his wife
threw un a window and whistleil for tho
police nnd inised such a racket th.it the
noighbors woro aroused. It was found
that the robber had opened tho front
door with a falso key. but had been
driven away before ho had time to se
cure any plunder.

as well as one may on a cargo of cedar

some merry thought seemed to add a
brightness to her eyes.
Her work done, she went forward
over the Irgh cargo, and with hands
closed tightly together behind her
freshly starched gingham dress, talked
distantly to tho new deck-hand her
father had hired that morning.

several vessels could bo seen, antiarent-

southeast two purple islands detached

soon a change in tho course threw tho
frobolink into tho welcome shado of her
sail. Tho Captain laid aside his hat,
unconsciously ojwned his shirt at tho
neck, and with the purling and rippling
water droning in his ears, soon felt the
desirableness of sleep. He i ailed the
new deck-hand to him, placed tho scow
with all its aromatic wealth in his

of tho deck free of cedar, and went to

The Law or Mistakes.
The source of almost even' law.anit ia
to bo found in mistakes. These are of
two kinds: mistakes of fact, and mis
takes of law. Experience has proved
that the ablest men sometimes make
blunders, and the law has decided that
a real mistake of fact in an important
part of a contract will excuse the party
mistaken from performing his part of
iiiu agreement.
For instance: a man made a contract
with ono ice company and refused to
deal with another. When the bill was
presented he found that the latter com
pany had supplied his ice. He refused
to pay the bill, and it was decided that
the mistake freed him from liability.
A horse was sold bv a trader an I nhi
for on tho spot. While the trade was
going on the horse died. The buver
roughtsuit for the money paid, and it
was decided it. should be paid back,
since both parties had made a mistake
of fact, in supposing the horse to be
alive when the trade Was ended.
If a farmer intending to sell hay sells
oats by mistake instead, he mav refuse
to deliver the oats on that ground. It
sometimes happens that a bill is paid by
mistake with oouaterfeit bank notes.
. In such a case the payment is vokl and
the receipt taken is worthless.
A mistake in the quality of the thing
bargaiaed for is ao groead for break
ing aa agreement. If a raaa bays a
cheap thing, with the idea that it 'will
serve bis purpose as well as a store ex
pensive article, he caa aot. because he
was mistaken, send Jt back aad recover
the awncy paid. .i. j
A mistake of law is ao groaad for re
fusiag to carry out a contract. This
rule is founded oa the old maxim, !g
Boraaceof the law doth not excuse."
