Slay Illlcy Smith in Harper's Bazar.
APOLLO IN BRONZE.
Ninette Brown was a young lady of
decidedly romantic tendencies.
She had been named Nancy , but as
she entered upon hersweet , sixteenth
year she decided to call herself Nan-
netto , and finally abbreviated it to Ni
nette.
Her mother called her Ninette when
she could remember to do so , but her
father insisted upon plain Nancy.
Her father also favored George Smith ,
a young farmer , as one of Ninette's
suitors. George was a. tall , strong ,
industrious fellow , with plenty of com
mon sense and not a particle of romance
about him. Because of his lack of the
latter Ninette treated him in a way
which sometimes made his heartache.
"I shall never marry George Smith. I
look higher than a farmer , " she said to
her father one evening when he was ex
tolling George's good qualities.
"Then I guess you will look higher
than you will ever be able to tilt your
little nose ! " replied her father angrily.
"I see what you are after. You have
read so many o' them trashy novels I
s'pose you exnect to get one o * them 'ere
city chaps all shirt buzzom an perfum
ery ! But I warn yo now , Nancy , I'm
agin it from the fust ! You'd better take
George , with his decent ways and good
farm. "
Ninette did not think so. She began
to get discontented and to wish she
could get away from home. She want
ed to go to the city.
She confided this desire by letter to
Mrs. Elkins , who had once boarded for
the summer near them. Mrs. Elkins in
reply wrote : "We are going to a sea
shore resort very soon. If you will go
with us and take charge of little Sadie
we may be able to find a situation for
you after the summer season if you still
desire it.
Ninette at last gained her father's
consent to go. He said he "had been
pestered long enough. "
The journey was made. The Elkins
family were established in a suite at
"The Golden , " situated on a way down
coast of Maine.
Ninette would have been quite lonely
but for the company of Mary Duncan ,
the young woman who was Mrs. Elkins'
maid.
Mary was romantic also , with a dash
of something worse about her , and
quite horrified Ninette by relating some
of her escapades. Ninette was thor
oughly good , but silly.
"Mary , " said Ninette one morning
when they were alone , "I have not yet
seen my hero , but I think I have heard
him ! "
"Why , how is that ? "
Weil , lil&l ; lll llt X WclS S1LU11LJ U )
Miss Sadie while Mrs. Elkins was enjoy
ing herself at the dance , and I heard a
piano in the next room , and oh , such
glorious singing ! I don't know what it
was , but it was grand ! I have heard
him once before , and I am sure he must
be splendid to sing like that ! "
"How do you know but he is already
married ? ' asked Mary , who was seldom
practical.
"I don't believe he is. I watched to
try and see who came from the room.
But you know Mrs. Elkins does not al
low us to keep our doors open , so I don't
have a very good chance. "
"If you hear him again just let me
know , will you ? I will come to listen if
I have time. "
That night no melodious sounds issued
from the room , but on the following
evening the grand voice broke forth and
Ninette and Mary listened with breath
less attention.
"I just wish. I knew who has that
room , " exclaimed Mary , "but I don't
dare ask anybody. It would cost me
my place if Mrs. Elkins knew that I was
prying around anything or anybody. "
"We must watch all the time. I feel
sure he is my hero ! " ' and foolish Ninette
thought of the unknown singer while
she basted Miss Sadie's ruffles. Day
after day passed , and Ninette fed her ro
mance upon the snatches of song which
came from the room of her hero.
One morning Ninette was passing
through the corridor. The door of her
hero's room opened and she saw a form
pass out. She could not see his face ,
but he was tall , admirably proportioned
and carried himself gracefully. Ninette
caught her breath in suppressed admira
tion.
tion."Oh
"Oh , I've seen him ! I've seen him ! "
she whispered excitedly to Mary.
"What does he look like ? " asked Mary
curiously.
"Oh , I didn't see his face , but he is
very tall and dark. He is splendid ! A
perfect Apollo ! " and Ninette ran back
to her duties and to think about her
"Apollo , " as she continued to call him.
Meanwhile George Smith was grow
ing heart hungry. He wanted to see
Ninette. He suddenly decided "to go
down the coast a spell. "
His old mother looked astonished. She
knew George did not need sea breezes.
It was "that Nancy Brown he was after. "
George arrayed himself in his best and
went to the hotel where the Elkinses
were staying. There was more of affec
tionate demonstration in his greeting
than Ninette cared to see. She responded
very coolly , "How are you , George ? "
and tilted her nose a little higher.
George followed Ninette down on the
beach , where she had gone with Miss
Sadie.
"Ninette"Jie said , and his face was
very white , "give me my answer to-day.
You have always put me off on one pre-
- > i
. * .
text or another , but I can't be put oil
any longer. You know you are the only
girl I ever cared for. I will do my best
to make you happy if you will marry
me. "
"Then my jmswer is no , if you must
have it , George. "
"Very well ; no it is then. Will you
answer mo one question , Ninette ? "
"What is it ? ' ' she asked impatiently ,
turning toward him.
"Is there any one else for whom you
care ? "
"Would you hurt him if yon knew ? "
she asked fearfully.
"No never ! Not if you love him. I
love you too well to hurt anything you
have an interest in. "
"Then I will tell you. I am in love
with a great singer ! "
"A great binger1' ! repeated George
with white lips. "Who is he ? "
"I don't know his name , " she stam
mered. Somehow it seemed harder to
talk to George about him than to Mary.
"Don't know his name ! Where did
you see him ? "
"I have hardly seen him I have
heard him. "
"Ninette ! You don't mean to say you
have fallen in love with a voice just
that and nothing more ? "
"Yes , I do ! " said Ninette , half crying ,
"and I wish , George Smith , you would
go away and not bother me any more ! '
And she turned resolutely from him.
George turned toward her. He had
great courage and perseverance , and
said between his set lips : "I will not go
away. I will stay here and watch over
you. If. the man is all right , well and
good ; if not , I will not let you come to
harm. " And jie hurried away to apile of
rocks and seated himself to think the
matter over.
Nearly a week passed. George re
mained at the Golden and occasionally
joined Ninette on the beach. One would
have thought he had forgotten he ever
loved Ninette. He was simply kind and
helpful , and Ninette began to enjoy his
society now that he was apparently no
longer her lover.
It was nearly time for their departure.
Ninette and George were looking over
some shells together. George heard
Ninette catch her breath in a short gasp.
He looked down at her quickly. Her
face was flushing and paling by turns.
Following the direction of her glance ,
he saw a man standing on a rock at a
little distance from them. His tall , fine
form was clearly outlined as he stood
there , looking away over the ocean.
"Ninette tell me is that the man ? "
Ninette blushed. George needed no
other answer.
"Looks well as he stands there ! I
wish he would turn around so I could
see his face. "
So did Ninette. Instead of turning
around he swung himself down the
rocks and was hidden from view.
George arose and looked over the
ledge. Ninette sat still , but watched
George anxiously.
"He is coming out this way , and I
think he will come out by this opening.
There is no other place for him to pass
out this side. "
George dropped back into the niche
where he had been sitting , and Ninette
awaited the appearance of her Apollo.
A little movement near her caused
Ninette to turn her head. She saw Mr.
Lewis , a gentleman who owned a fine
cottage near the hotel.
" ! ? * - * * - r r i-Yiek lrt4T o n 1 f\f\\r i YI rr ff\t *
Marcus Marshall. I saw him dissappear
here somewhere. Have you seen him ? "
"I don't know the gentleman , " said
George ; "do you , Ninette ? "
"No , but I haven't seen any one near
here for half an hour. "
At this moment the hero emerged
from , an opening in the rocks.
Ninette and George heard Mr. Lewis
exclaim :
"There he is now ! " and turned back
again.
Was this her hero ? Her Apollo ?
George's face was blank with amaze
ment. Ninette felt like skrieking.
He was dark yes , it must be admit
ted , very dark. He was a mulatto.
He was Marcus Marshall , the fine
looking conductor of the famous Mar
shall minstrels , staying at the Golden.
Ninette arose hastily , and George like
wise. As they hurried away they heard
Mr. Lewis saying :
"By the way , Marshall , I want to en
gage your services for my swell dinner
next Thursday. "
The rest was lost in the rapidly in
creasing distance between them. Ni
nette hurried into her room with Miss
Sadie , and George wisely concluded to
keep out of her way that day.
Next morning he went down on the
beach. Ninette had to go with Miss
Sadie.
George marched straight up to Ninette
and took her hand and looked into her
tear swollen eyes. *
"Now , my dear Ninette , let the past
be forgotten. Your Apollo is in bronze
and no good to you. You are safe enough
now. I am going home today , and when
you come back home next week I am
going to ask you the same question I
asked you the first day I came here , "
and George turned and hastened away.
Ninette had learned a lesson by the
sad sea waves , and when she went home
it was with a trustful respect and affec
tion for the young farmer.
She married him on the next time hon
ored Thanksgiving day. Chicago Even

The Life of an Incandescent Lamp.
From the consumer's point of view ,
one of the chief charges that can be
brought against the incandescent electric
light is the fact that its efficiency falls
off with use. At the electrical labora
tory of the Ohio State university , a pro
longed inquiry has been conducted into
the "life" and efficiency of the incandes
cent lamps of ten different American
makers. The results show that the mean
candle power falls off with use approxi
mately at the rate of 10 per cent , for
each SOO hours ; that the life of 63 out of
127 lamps exceeded 11,000 hours , and
that the average initial efficiency was
4.2 ; after 600 hours 5.G and after 1,200
hours 7 watts per candle power. Pitts-

A WOMAN'S ADVICE.
For two whole years Captain Jumpi-
son had been the idol of the spinsters of
Bunborough-by-the-Sea. Cheery , good
natured and good looking , his private
means were limited , if they existed at
all , and his pay was insufficient to en
able him to indulge any of those ex
pensive tastes which lure young men
from the milder delights of tea and
tennis. He neither hunted in winter
nor played polo in summer , and he was
always ready to dance half the night at
the Bunborough balls. He really was a
very nice man indeed , every one agreed
that he would make a very nice husband
for any one of the young ladies of Bun-
borongli to whom he might finally de
termine to offer himself , and for two
years he distributed his favors freely ,
but with almost absolute impartiality.
"There is safety in numbers and the
cowards If now it , ' ' said Miss Grayson , of
the Valley cottage , to Maud Oakley ,
who had been unburdening her soul to
her. Miss Grayson was the kindest of
elderly ladies where young people's love
affairs were concerned , and Maud Oak
ley had known her since she ( Maud , not
Miss Grayson ) was a baby. "Cowards ! "
said Miss Grayson again under breath ,
and Miss Oakley sniffed deprecatingly.
She had been talking to Miss Grayson
for an hour , and had told her sympa
thetic listener a good deal that was , in
the language of the vulgar , "stale
' '
news.
Miss Graysou was quite aware ( all
Bunborough might have told her ) that
Captain Jumpison had quite recently
shown a distinct preference for the Oak
ley family. He dined there whenever
he was asked and had won General Oak
ley's confidence by delicately expressing
Tiu Bounded belief in his stories not al
ways an easy task ; he had been most at
tentive to old Mrs. Oakley during sup
per time at several balls , and his visits
leu. nuu nut
been limited by invitations issued to
him or confined to those occasions when
General and Mrs. Oakley were at home ;
but there were two Miss Oakleys , and
to which of them' Captain Jnmpison in
tended his attentions to be devoted was
a question which Bunborough-by-the-
Sea would have liked to have answered.
It was not strange , however , that the
public were puzzled when Maud Oakley
had had to confess to Miss Grayson that
she had no very distinct idea whether
her sister Geraldine or herself was pre
ferred by the man to whom she had un
reservedly lost her heart , though she ad
mitted she had her fears.
"Geraldine has Dr. Coverdale , " said
Maud. "She would bo quite happy
with him. "
"Quite so , " said Miss Grayson. "It
never rains but it pours. "
Maud wondered whether it had ever
"poured" with suitors in Miss Gray-
son's young days and said nothing.
"Can't we make Dr. Coverdale pro
pose to her ? " said Miss Grayson.
"And Geraldine accept him ? " added
Maud doubtfully. Miss Grayson was
a determined looking old lady , but even
she seemed to consider the project im
practicable.
"Did you ever try boohoo with any
one ? " said Miss Grayson.
"What ? " said Maud.
"Boohoo , boohoo , boohoo ! " cried Miss
Grayson excitedly , and an elderly lady
who had selected the precise moment to
be announced by Miss Grayson's pretty
little parlor maid very nearly turned
and fled. She came in , however , and
her impression that Miss Grayson had
gone demented was confirmed by the
apparently imbecile laughter with which
her greeting was received.
Maud rose to leave , and Miss Grayson ,
who had recovered her presence of mind
sufficiently to inquire after her new vis
itors husband ( he" had been dead seven
years ) , accompanied her to the front
door.
"Don't you understand , you silly
child ? " she said , kissing her affectionate
ly on the doorstep. "Cry , cry , cry your
eyes out ; not one of the wretches in a
baker's dozen of them can stand tears. "
And the kind old lady returned topacify
a justly iadignant widow , while Miss
Oakley walked home with a light break
ing slowly in on her as she pondered the
somewhat enigmatical advice she had
received.
Meanwhile Captain Jumpison was
striding down the flinty road leading
from the barracks to Bunborough as if
he trod on air. He scarcely knew how
he had transferred himself from uniform
to his newest mufti , tut between his
beating heart and the tweed coat which
formed its outermost covering he could
feel the communication which had that
afternoon altered the course of his career
forever. "On her majesty's service" it
had arrived , and "on her majesty's serv
ice" it informed him he was expected to
proceed forthwith ton somewhat distant
portion of her dominions , where , in re
turn for a salary exceeding his wildest
dreams , ho was to perform duties its to
which he still felt vague. But they
probably included the dispensation of
substantial justice with lavish hand to
sundry swarthy fellow subjects , and the
instruction of the male portion of them
in the use of obsolete weapons and the
evolutions of an improved drill.
The climate well , every rose has its
thorn , and Government House and his
Bociety would reconcile Geraldine Oak
ley to a bursting thermometer and a diet
of quinine. She could have her sister to
stay with her if she felt lonely. Ho was
quite fond of Maud , though of course
she did not care for him. Did she not al
ways retire when he came to tea and
leave him alone with her elder sister , and
always refuse to give him more thnu
four dances in one evening ? But Ger
aldine was different. Dr. Coverdalo
would do very well for Maud when
Geraldine was gone. There she was
Maud , not Geraldine standing on the
top step waiting for him as ho almost
ran up the garden walk.
"How do you do ? " she said shyly as
she ushered him into the drawing room.
"I will go and tell Geraldine you are
here. "
He was delighted. Could anything
have been more thoughtful ? But , oddly
enough , she did not go. She sat down ,
on the contrary , and began fingering a
"chair back" nervously.
"It is a fine day , " she said , and then
stopped.
"Hang it ! " he thought. "I meant to
tell Geraldine the news first , but there's
no harm in beginning with her. "
So he began , pulling out his official
letter to show her.
"I have come , Miss Oakley , to tell
you some news and ask you to congrat
ulate me. "
"What ! " she exclaimed , "are you
engaged to be mar"
"Oh , no ! " he answered , "not exactly
that is , not yet inact I mean not
exactly. "
And he got very red , and so , curiously
enough , did she. She looked very pretty
blushing , and with her lower lip quiver
ing a little. Geraldine was not so pretty
as Maud , he admitted to himself as he
looked at her ; but so much the better.
Geraldine would be all the less likely to
flirt , if , that is , there was any one at
Government House to flirt with.
"No , " he said ; "it's the appointment I
told you ( or was it your sister ? ) my uncle
was trying to get for me the very thing
I have been wanting. "
And he proceeded to paint the charms
of the new career opening before him in
glowing colors. He said nothing about
the quinine. When he came to an end
Of all the details she was sitting , with
an expression of deep interest , looking
at him , and he felt that had s > he only
been Geraldine the very moment would
have arrived that precise opportunity ,
not always easy to obtain , particularly
in a small villa. "And so , " he said ,
feeling he must bring his tale to a con
clusion and give her an excuse for going
to fetch her sister "and so , Miss Oak
ley , I leave Bunborough very soon , and
have come to say goodby. "
' ' Good "
good boohoo !
She did not hit the precise note which
had startled Miss Grayson's visitor , but
the effect on biin wn.s
fying.
"My God ! " he murmured.
"Boo hoe , bdb hoo-o ! " And she
buried her head in the sofa cushions.
For a minute he said nothing ; his first
inarticulate entreaty to her died on his
lips before her storm of grief , so he bit
his mustache in silence. Then the front
door slammed. Miss Geraldine Oakley
was going out for a walk , totally un
aware of his arrival. Could he stop
her ? He could hardly open the window
and shout. He moved toward the draw
ing room door , but he had to pass the
sofa , and as he did so the girl on it rose ,
as if she , too , half dazed , was seeking a
way of escape , and as their hands met
on the door handle she sank sobbing
into his arms.
"Don't , don't ! " she whispered , hardly
articulating , but he was doing nothing
from which h(5k could desist , for he
could scarcely let" her drop on the floor.
"Good God ! " said Captain Jumpison
again ; "will no one come ? ' ' But the
house was still , and he reflected that
perhaps it was as well that no one
should come in at that precise juncture
at all events , not without warning
and so there was another pause , broken
only by her sobs. He could see her sis
ter through the muslin blinds ; she was
looking over the garden gate talking to
some one. Would she change her mind
and bring whoever it was in to tea ? If
she did Maud would surely hear them
entering the house and retreat. But
Geraldine stood talking at the gate.
Only the rector wore a high hat at Bun
borough-by-the-Sea and Dr. Coverdale.
"Click ! " went the garden gate as Ger
aldine passed into the sunny roadway.
"Boohoo ! ' ' It was a very gentle one
this time from somewhere near his
watch pocket.
"Click ! " went the garden gate as it
swung back on its hinges.
And Captain Jumpison surrendered
at discretion. St. James Budget.
Excuvcl for Deafness.
Recently Mr. Justice Grantham ex
cused a man who pleaded that he was
deaf in his left ear. No sooner had he
done so than another sought similar re
lief on account of deafness in his right
ear. He , too , had to be excused , but the
learned judge wittily remarked that had
he known beforehand that two such ap
plications would be made he would have
kept both men in the box to supply each
other's deficiencies. London Tit-Bits.
