A MAKOJttONESS.
Why Bravo Hotty Leigh Rejected
a Lord.
Why did Lord Vcrrincr wander in
strange and tropical clinics, explore
.Japan ami Timbucloo, and attempt to
cross f lie Himalayas? The noble Earl
only tried to gefmarried once, and in
the story of that wedding is contained
the reason for his becoming such a dis
tinguished traveler and growing slidi a
very Ionjj beard.
Lord Verriner Iiad been going the
pace ever since he enniu into his title
and got. ludd of his property; and, at
tiie time of which I am speaking, though
the former necessarily remained intact,
the hitter was practical' non-existent,
lie had borrowed from his boot-maker,
his tailor and his jewelers, after having
previously exhausted the patience and
generosity of moneylenders. Gambling,
racing, etc.. had in fact ruined him.
Hut still Ids title and position had a
marketable value; for lie was one of
the oldest and most distinguished fami
lies in England. This marketable value
was now onlv of one kind. Lenders
and boot-makers would no longer listen
to him, even though he was the hand
somest man of his daj with the most
perfect manners, and one of the pets of
that small circle of society which sits
up aloft like a party of cherubs, re
garding scornfully the morals and
manners of tho respectable folks below.
Hut in spite of the lost credit of Lord
Vcrrincr among the money lenders he
was still a spoiled darling among the
women. And it occurrou to him one
day that hero was his market. He must
do tho usual thing; marry money which
wanted a title in exchange.
Thinking the thing over, he saw that
most of his fellows who had succeeded
in getting out of a similar predicament
by these means had married American
girls. This, he thought, would be a
tolerably easy thing to do. English
women appeared to him to require
more attention and to be less business
like and more sentimental in their mat
rimonial affairs. He decided to look
out for an American. Vcrriner believed
he understood women thoroughly. He
was an excellent actor, and could cloak
himself with a languid and profoundly
bored manner which 'was a great suc
cess among tho women of his own so
cial status. He preserved this languor
always when in society, except in the
smoking-room, for, as he well knew, it
was safe. It prevented his ever getting
into hot water. Underneath this quiet
surface a volcano blazed, and a very
unpleasant volcano, too. Vcrrincr had
tho most frightful temper which he was
accustomed to let loose upon his lady
friends, his servants, his horses and
dogs. The two lirst left him; the last
showed their resentment in different
ways. He was never safe from a bite
In his own stables; and his dogs kept
out of his sight.
This was the man who, a month or
two after he had made up his mind to
do it, had discovered a new American
beaut', just over from the States for
tiie London reason, with dollars aud
greenbacks enough to reinstate any
ruined lord. Verrlncr thought her
really ver tolerable, aud was much
nmued b' hor independent and lively
manner, which contrasted well with
the profound languor he always main
tained in her presence. His handsome
face, his intense quiet and repose and
the position he could give her, all
pleased Hetty Leigh, for they had for
her the charm of noveltv. She could
not resist so big a catch as this; it w:
worth all her greenbacks to enter the
Marlborough House set under the wing
of this quiet, handsome fellow. And
so, when Vcrriner lazily but respect
fully proposed, Hetty Leigh accepted
him with open and undisguised delight.
In fact, she clapped her liands as soon
as the thing was done, and said: "My!
won't the girls at homo stare!"
Mrs. Leigh nearly fainted as nearly
a a wiry middle-aged American lady
can -when she heard the good news.
She had come over with one object; to
marry her Hetty to a Lord. And it was
all "fixed up!"' before the season was
fairly begun. And licltj''s husband
was such a handsonle. quiet man; and
Hetty's wedding would be the grand
eft event in the London season!
It was all scttictl, and every thing
went merrily. Hetty and her mother
were asked to all the best houses; the
girl who was to be Lady Vcrriner must
be royally entertained by every body,
even though many of tho women would
have been glad to" throw vitriol in her
pretty, piquant faco. How Hetty
dressed! Her toilets alone woro enougn
to make any woman hato her, even if
she had not the additional and unpar
donable privilege of being rich enough
to pay for Lord Vcrriner to be always
carrying her cloak and fan, and keep
ing out of the way of her train. Well,
the time came for the wedding. It was
at the very height of the season, and,
as Mrs. Leigh had foreseen, it was to
be one of its events. More than ono
great personage had promised to be
present, including that very great per
sonage who gives the tone to English
society. The noble ones of the land
had been bidden to meet them. The
wedding presents were a sight indeed,
and the list of them in the papers made
the months of burglars water with long
inr. The trousseau was a wonder, too,
ana made sad the hearts of many great
ladles. ,v i
Verriner was well content- Ifhe
had to be married at all, every thin
most sje good f orm. And it pro
to bo so. He had taken tho trouble to
secure the presence of the great per
sonages and tho people whom they
cared to meet No otfier wedding ot
the season could hold a Candlo to his;
he felt quite satisfied about that Ho
knew himself to be a superb creator
and he was pleased with Dame Fortune
for showing her appreciation of tho
fact The morning came, and when
Vcrriner rose he felt nervous for tho
first time In his life. There certainly
is something very trying about a wed
ding morning, even to tho most hard
ened. He ate no breakfast, but began
at champagne before he dressed, and
went on with it during the process.
His best man, the young Marquis of
Broadlands, came in to look after him.
He found Vcrriner trembling; ho had
never done this on the morning of a
duel, or after a night over the cards,
or the moment before a race was run
on which his all was staked.
"What is the matter, Vorrincr?" in
quired tho young Marquis, in much
amazement
"Suppose the Frinco shouldn't
come!
"Oh, nonsense; he always keeps his
word. Make haste, or we shall be late
at the church."
Verriner drank another glass of
champagne, and they started. Tho
church was already beginning to fill as
a church only does fill on such occas
ions as this, with the stream of the up
per ten thousand. Verriner was
pleased, for in his heart this apparent
cynio was as vain as the school-girl.
Soon after be arrivod the Prince came,
and at last "every ono" was there ex
cept the bride.
The wedding-dress did not come
home till the very last minute, aud
then it was found that the white silk
lace with which the lovely little flower
adorned bodice was fastened had been
left out in the hurry. Hetty's maid
went olf in a hansom to the milliner's,
and at last all was right, and the pret
tiest and brightest-eyed bride of the
year was ready. And quite cool, too,
though she was so lato. For Hetty
was a girl who never got fevered or
flurried. She took life very easy, spite
of her vivacity of manner. Certainly
she was late, and it was very shocking,
considering what an august throng
awaite I her; but it could not bo helped,
aud she thought Verriner valued her
greenbacks sufficiently to bear the trial
in patience.
Hut by the time the bride and her
mother reached the church Verriner
iiad lost his head. He read the thing
simply as an insult put upon himself,
and that before the only audience in
the world bo cared a straw for. He be
gan to fool liko a horse with the bit
between his teeth when sharp spurs
are struck in by an ignorant rider.
Broadlands, who knew his temper,
looked at his face and wondered what
he would do. They were waiting in
ambush in the vestry. At last there
was a faint murmur; the bride had ar
rived. Vorriner hurried around and
reached the church door just in time to
moet her as she steppod into the porch.
"How dare you put such an insult
upou me?" he hissed into her ear
"you, tho daughter of a dirty oil mer
chant! By Heavens, I'll make you pay
for this when we get away!"
" Hetty looked straight In the faco of
this furious man, a faco hideous with
rage. No lady had ever seen such a
look on his face before. But he thought
this girl was absolutely in his power
now. No ono heard what be said but
himself; and it was all over in an in
stant. Broadlands seized his arm as ho
led him away; and the brido was taken
possession of by a stately looking Am
erican (like Hetty's father, be, too, had
struck lie) who was to give her away.
Bride and bridegroom met again at
the alter. Hetty looked quite cool,
but her gray eyes were very pale. Vcr
riner, by a tremendous histrionic effort,
had recovered himself, and wore his
usual soft languor. The ceremony
went on, and every body assumed tho
right expression. The bridegroom was
asked whether he would take this wom
an, etc. He answered quietly, but clear
ly "I will." When, however, the dig
nitary who officiated turned to Hetty
and asked her the same question an
awful thing happened. Quite coolly,
without apparent emotion, she replied:
"I will not!"
Her high-pitched American voice
penetrated right through the church,
and every body heard the appalling
words. The whole assemblage stood
still as if petrified, for a moment; and
then Mrs. Leigh broke the silence by
rushing to her daughter and seizing her
arm.
'.Are you mad!" she whispered.
" No," answered Hetty, quietly, but
in those fearfully audible high-pitched
tones, "I'm sane. I ain't going to
marry a man who the moment no thinks
he's got hold of mo, talks to me as if I
were a nigger. He called my papa a
dirty oil-merchant. No, thank you,
sir," turning to Verriner, "take your
title and the rest of it, and sell 'em to
a meeker sort than I am. To know all
the best people don't makeup for being
bullied at home. It ain't good enough.
Besides, when I do many I mean to
marry a gentleman."
Every word of this speech was heard
by every body. Having finished it
Hetty courtesied to Vcrrincr and then
swept down the central aisle, followed
by her discomfited bridesmaids and her
now weeping mother. People looked
at her as she passed with mingled feel
ings: wonder, admiration, horror, awe.
"What a trump of a girl!" said
Broadlands to himself. "Fd like to
marry her, I declarol"
Bui his attention was distracted by
Verriner, who having cast an agoniz
ing glance around, saw that the peoplo
were, hiding their faces in their prayer
books, and handkerchiefs, and that
their shoulders shook. Ho fled through
the vestry, Broadlands following him.
What a murmur of talking and laughter
rose from that distinguished congrega
tion as it left the church and got Into
the long string of carriages which
waited outside! There was no wedding
breakfast but there were tho most de
lightful afternoon teas that day, for
every body who had been present had
to relate the story to innumerable
friends. Verriner left town by the first
train to Dover, and when he was next
heard of had been living for some time
in a very distant and very warm coun
try. He was among savages, and bis
ferocity had earned him an enviable
distinction in the most elevated circles.
As for Hetty, she braved her mother's
tears and her friends reproaches with
out dismay. She was quite convinced
she had done the right thing. And so
were her friends when, in the fint
snows of winter, thay were bidden to a
grand country wedding, which made
the "trump of a girl" the Marchioness

FAST TRACKS.
Kannteg- and Trotting Orarm All Over
tho United State.
A correspondent asks for information
as to which is tho fastest trotting track
in tho country. The question is easier
asked than answered. Some seasons
one track is faster than another track.
Through wear it loses its elasticity, and
the worn out track must be resoiled
with the greatest caro. The Rochester
track was once thought to be the fastest
in the country. . In 1681, Maud S.
trotted in 210 1-4 on it In 1884 it was
dead, and it was top-dressed. Last sea
son tho footing was somewhat rotten,
and tho going mado the horse's lcg
weary. The freeze of the winter will
cause the soil to pack better and to
hold more lifo, and we shall look for
class records to bo broken at Roches
ter in 1886. The Narragansctt track at
Providence was very fast in 1884, and
Jay-eye-seo mode his record of 2:10 on
it, but last season the swl bricks,
which enter into its foundation, h:ul
lost sonio of their India-rubbcr-liko
quality, ami it required a little greater
effort to trot a milo on it. Tho Buffalo
track isfast; Maud S. trotted in 2:10 3-4
on it in 1881, but tho lirst turn is not
quite long enough to meet tho ideal
want Mr. Hamlin, however, contends
that this objection is overcome by tho
superb back-stretch and tho grand
homestretch. Tho fair grounds track
at Lexington was demonstrated fast by
the 2:09 1-4 of Maud S. in 1884, after
frost had struck the ground, but it can
be mode still faster by restoring tiio
wear not to tho raiL -To get the Iwnt
footing tho horso has to go rido on it
The Kentucky Association nice track
at Lexington also is fast for trotters, as
was demonstrate by tho 2:19 1-2 of Pa
tron, the three-year-old son of Pan
coast n a hotly contested roce with
Sllverene on a raw and windy day in
October last. There is quite a hill to
climb, but wo aro not suro that this does
not aid the Hying horso by bringing a
different set of muscles into play. The
Washington Park race track was fast
for tho trotters last fall, and it should
bo still faster this scaon. The prairio
bed is spring' and tho grades are per
fect But the wind which blow from
the lake incre: tlic element of un
certainty on it Tho Belmont track
at PlulRuelprria is rapid when in order,
notwithstanding tho hill in going to tho
tiurd quarter. Jay-cyc-fioc trotted in
2:11 and reeatcd in 2:10 1-4 on it Tho
Charter Oak track at Hartford is rated
fast. St Julicn mado his record of
2:11 1-4 on it in 1880; still there is quite
a gap between tho record of tho son of
Volunteer and that of tlic daughter of
Harold. The Homeward track at Pitts
burgh is very fast when you can catch it
just right and "Maud S. turned it in 18S1
In 2:10 1-2. TIms Detroit track also is
rapid, but under tho tlmo test tho palm
will have to be awarded to Cleveland.
Maud S. trotted it in 1881 in 2:093-4.
and sho mado her present record of
2:08 3-4 on it in tno summer of 1885.
Tho footing is firm and at tho samo
time elastic and thero is more freedom
from treacherous winds than at some
other places. The 2:08 3-4 which hangs
over tho entranco gate at Clovcland is a
difficult mark to shoot at; still, this is an
age of progress, and the record may be
changeTlbeforo another year is dead and
gone. Turf, Field and" Farm,
A COOL MAN.
Colonel St. Hllalro'it Wonderful Coolness
Under Trying Circumstances.
"Tho coolest man I ever knew w:is
old Victor de St Hilairc. tho Colonel
of an infantry regiment that saw some
service in Algeria," said Colonel Henri
Dubois, one of a party of French offi
cers who, having halted to tike a look
at Siain on their way home from the
Tonquiu war, had come to dine with us
on board of a British gun-loat which
had somehow found its way up the Mei
Nam river.
"I've known men," he continued,
"who managed to put on a great show
of coolness in time, of danger, though
they were really very much excited; but
there was no putting-on with St Hilaire
it came as natural to him as eat in''
his dinner. All his hair-breadth escapes
(and he had had so many that he could
hardly count them himself) had left him
as cool as before, and it really seemed
as if dangers p-issed him b' Imvui.vj he
would not fondesond to notice, that they
were there at all. Oneo his men mu
tinied, and two of them clapped their
bayonets to his breast as if to run him
through; but the Colon"! only smiled,
ami said, as quietly as ever: Be care
ful; my lads; you might hurl me.'
"Now it happened that in Colonel St
Hilaire's regiment there was a peppery
young sub-Lieutenant who was as hot
as the Colonel was cool. With him it
was always (as you English say) 'a word
and a blow, and the blow firt' Ho
hail fought so many duels that the sol
diers used to call him 'Sudden Death.'
and to sav that the be.st way to end the
war would be for him to challenge the
enemy's wIioIh army, man by man.
Well, one day this Lieutenant had com
mitted some fault for which the Colonel
gave him such ascoldingthat the. voting
fellow's hot blood couldn't bear it any
longer. Quick as lightning he whipped
out a pistol and fired right at St. Hi
laire's face, so close that the muzzle
almost touched him. But the pistol
missed lire, and the Colonel said, quite
coolly: 'Forty-eight hours' arrest for
not keeping your arms in proper or
der.' "
"And wa that all that tho Lieutenant
got?" askwl a dozen voices at once, in
undisguised amazement
"That was all; and lean tell you that
he thought it was quite enough Ha!
General, goodevening. I was just tell
ing these gentlemen how you once put
me under arrest tor not having my pis
tols in working order." David Acr, i

AN AMATEUR.
Be Is Isexperfenced. Bat Besr9 Himself
ts One to the Manner Born.
Not long since, when three huadred
or mora of us were snow-baund and
bad to stay a day in a Colorado town
on tbo Leadvillc division of the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad, I chanced to
observe tho manner of a hotel clerk
who was evidently new to the business,
and, of course; below the average.
There arcxecptkras to all rules, even
in paying debts. I saw at once that
he was tho son of tho eminent banker
of the town, who had kindly volun
teered to help tho landlord out in a
pinch and give tone to the house,
though nobody told me so, and while
I eat absorbing all the heat of a con
valescent stove and Crying to smoke a
cigar that had ten sceuts in it and a
defective Quo, I took a photographic
ncgativo of what he said and did. Hero
it Is:
"Eloven thirty, sir, standard time"
(adjusting his neckrtic). "I think he
is in his room, third floor, 26, turn to the
right. Here, ' Front'!" (glancing in the
mirror). "Breakfast and dinner?
Dollar and a half, sir" (pulling down
his cutis). " It should bo in, in three
quarters of an hour" (looking at his
gold watch). "Porter! tire in IDS"
(arranging bis diamond pin).
" Haven't heard from that train yet;
overdue two hours" (lighting a eigar).
"No; make no reduction on children"
(look down to see how his shoes tit).
"Frank, this gentleman wants bis
boots blacked" (pulling down Ids
vest). "Porter will be here in a min
ute, sir" (knocking the ashes off his
cigar and brushing dust off his trous
ers). "Paper and envelopes on that
desk, sir" (turning cuff so button will
show). " Have trunk up in your room
in a minute, sir" (exploring hi back
hair U) learn if it is purled correctly).
"Trains over Marshall Pas all late"
(smiling at a young lady outhide the
oilicc window). "Not a postage tamp
in the house, sir" (twisting the sharp
ends of his mustache). "Yes. we
have a good deal of snow in this sec
tion of late" (:issortin trie --ais on hi?
watch chain). "Lodging, breakfast
and dinner -92.25" (looking down the
side of his trousers to see if the .Neani i
straight). "Dinner's over, but will
order you something" (brushing hU
shot's off with a scented handkerchief).
"Yes, Charlie, had lot of fun at the
dance, last night. Uecogni.e them?"
(shows a couple of young ladies
photos).
No, ho was not the professional arti
cle, perhaps, but he was XXX imita
tion. Tul-Dite.
ALASKAN HOUSES.
Primitive Dwelling Surrounded by a
Mlztnro or Mud uml Olliil.
The houses of the natives are much
the same in all divisions of Alaska.
The dwellings are thus described: A
circular mound of earth, grass grow
ing and littered with all sorts of house
hold utensils, a small spiral coil of
smoke rising from the apex, dogs
crouching, children climbing up or
rolling down, stray morsels of food left
from one meal to tho other, and a soft
mixture of mud end offal surrounding
it all. The entrance to this house is a
low, irregular square aperture, through
which tho inmate stoops, and passes
down a foot or two through a low
passage on the earthen floor within.
The interior generally consists of an
Irregularly-shaped apartment, twelve
or fifteen feet in diameter, receiving
its only light from without through the
small smoke-opening at the apex of
the roof, which rises, tent-like, from
the flooc The fire-place is directly
under this opening. Rude beds or
couches of skin and grass mats arc
laid, slightly raised above the floor,
upon clumsy frames made of sticks and
saplings for rough-hewn planks, and
sometimes on little elevations built up
of peat or sod. Sometimes a small
hallway with bulging sides is erected
over tho entrance, where, by this ex
pansion, room is afforded for the keep
ing of utensils and water vessels, and
as a Aeker for dogs. Immediately ad
joining most of theso houses will be
found a small summer kitchen, a nidc
wooden frame, walled in and covered
over with soils, with an ojoning at the
top to give vent to the smoke. Those
are entirely above ground, rarely over
five or six feet in diameter, and are lit
tered with filth aud offal of all kinds;
serving also as a refuge for the dogs
from the inclement, weather, in the
interior regions, where both fuel and
building material are more abundant,
the houses change somewhat in ap
pearance and construct inn -he excava
tion of the coat houses, made for tho
purposo of saving both, disappears,
and gives w3" to log structures alovo

HINTS ON COOKING.
Uaeful SuKKCtionrt Which llou.s-kr-ors
Should Nat rail to !:.:.!.
A delicate pudding sauce can be
made without butter, by scalding atea
cupfnl of sweet riiillc.added to it a coffee
cupful of sugar that has been beaten up
with the yelks of two eggs. When the
sauce is as thick as custard, take it
from the fire, and when it is cool add
whatever flavoring you choose, and the
whites of the eggs beaten stiff and
sweetened and flavored.
Breakfast puffs arc made by taking
three eggs, ono leuspoonful of sugar,
ono couee-copfol of milk and one of
water, a cake of compressed yeast, a
small salt-spoonful ot Kilt, and flour
enough to raako a stiff batter. Leave
the whites of tho eggs until the batter
is light, when beat well and add. They
are uelkionsly light and all ready for
breakfast, if set over night.
Celery may bo kept indefinitely by
wrapping around it a heavy brown

Roasted cheese is excellent for the
cheese course in a dinner, and it is also
a good dish for either luncheon or sup
per. It is made of half a dozen slices
of bread, a quarter of a pound of
cheese, two table-spoonfuls of butter,
the yelks f two egga, one teaspoonful
of dry moBtard, one-fifth of a tea
spoonful of cayenne and half a tea
spoonful of salt. Break the cheese into
bits. Put it into a mortar with the
other ingredients (save the bread), and
pound aU to a smooth paste. Toast
the bread, and after spreading it with
this mixture, lay it in a pan and put
lato a hot oven for four minutes.

Much of our trouble is due to con

the sovereignty over Central Asia in the
