LITTLE JACK HORNER. HY MAKV KYLE DALLAS. Mr. Jackson Horner what would be have said if be bad known that now and tben irreverent people called bim little Jack Horner! lived in a very bandsome villa in Hornerville, and was the richest man, no doubt, in the whole county. There was a time not so very long be fore, either when be had been no richer than his neighbors, and tbeu he bad not, as they said, "taken so many airs." But' a lucky contract, not particularly to bis credit when it came to conscience, and a lucky speculation or two added to that bad made Jack Horner rich. In the old days, when he lived in the row of frame houses with shops under tbem, his most Ultimate friend had been one Jerry Pine, who kept the tinsmith shop next door to him. Many a good turn bad Jerry done bim ; many a dollar had he loaned, glad to accommodate a neighbor; but Jerry, be ing generous, had been imposed upon, and Jerry had grown poorer, and since Mr. Horner had gone to live at the villa he had not invited his old friend to see him. Jerry felt tbe slight. For years they had smoked their pipes together, sitting en tbe low fences of their little gardens in tbe evening, or played dominoes when winter nights were long. He still had the old accordion they both used to play on in tbe boyish days before they were married and they had been confidential over their love affairs. "My Jim was born two years before Jack's Eliza came into this world," the tinsmith would say. '"Jack used to swear that bis girl should marry my boy, and their mothers talked as if it were to be so. I'd like to see .1 ack Horner's face ill) there in the villa, as be calls it, if he was put iu mind of that. Richo spoil some meu. And j-et who doesn't want 'em? I'd like to see mv Jim one of tbe rich ones, I would; but be has got to take to bis tools, like his daddys. Jim was quite content. He was a big fellow, with brawny arms and black hair and eyes. And whatever oolneis bad come lietween the rich and the poor one, none had come betwee'i their children. They bad beeu playmates and Jim's mother died early; so that Elizi's mother, feeling pity for tbe little child wifp bail no womankind to watch, over bim, had bad him aliont the home a good deal after that. Eliza was very affectionate, and by the time she was 17 and .Tim 10, the boy began to know tbat it was not as a sister tbat be loved Eliza. He was sorry then for the fhst time that he bad not a fortune to offer her, bnt he in tended to make one to hammer it out of tbe tin, he said, if there was no other way. And be often went up to the Horner villa, never guessing that the mother knew so well what her hus band's feelings on the Mibject would be, tbat she never let him see who called They sat in the family room, and Jack Horner knew that Eliza had company in the parlor. Young folks always bad company, he supposed: and they were, iu a fine house, and the neighbors' sons, all people who were quite up to bis taste, would naturally drop in. uEliza," be would say to himself, "will marry a big banker or something of that sort one of these days. There's nothing like lifting your family up." However, he himself made no new friends. He asked people to dinner, and went ont to dine. They bowed and spoke as they met on the cars, re turning to their villas from the city. He was one cf tbe select neighborhood, but there was no one to chat with him over bis pipe, or play dominoes, or talk over old times, as there was when he was intimate with Jerry Pine, the tinsmith. The idea that it was Jim Pine in there in tbe fine parlor, with its carved man tel, and bevelled mirror, and great plate glass windows, and brand new stylib furniture, never entered bis mind, uutil one evening, after glancing from tbe window as the street door fchnt to, after a rather . prolonged good bye, be saw bim iu the moonlight, coolly walking down tbe graveled path way, between the two broad grass plots. "Why, mother, Jim Pine has lieen to see Eliza," he cried. The mother bad known it must come some day, but now she was very much frightened. "Yes, Jack," she said, braving it out with a smile, "Jim comes pretty often. They've liked each other from children, those two have, and there isn't a finer looking fellow that I know of anywhere, or a better Bon; and old neighbors, too, Jack an old friend's son." "Old friends?" said Jack Horner, testily. "When a man is poor, he must live near poor folk, and live like them. But we've gone up. 11 Td had some women, I'd have had credit for it; but yon I begin to think you like low down folk best, Betsy." "No, and I never Aid, said bis wife. "But Jim isn't low down, nor Jerry neither, only poor, poor as honest work ing people are, if that's poverty, and Jim is educated a good deal better than yon and I, Jack just as our Eliea is) and there's no reason for yon to despise them; it was just luck. You might bd over there in Wooden Row and he. here on the hill if tbe chance had come to him instead of yon." "Ah," said Jack Horner, "tbe taking of chances makes the difference. 'You don't do it by lettiug 'em jHtss. I agree to that, Jack," said his wife. "Still, I think' Jim is pno to take chance. Bi-t mother was capable smarter than his father. Come, Jack: remember that' Eliza needn't look for money." "She's got to hava a gentleman, any way," said Jack Horner. "I want her to marry into one of tbe old families. 1 ain't going to have a tinker's son coming after hor for her money,' and be banged his fist upon tbe table furiously, so that a decanter and g'ases that stood there danced about and jingled. He gave bs daughter a lec'.nre next morning at tbe breakfast tab! e, to which she prndently answered very little, un til toward the last .Mr. Horner said something alwnt "sneaking into a mau's bouse." "Jim never sneaks, bhe s-aid. "He wlk8 up to the front door and rings the bell. He see i me iu the parlor, iustas a man alwavs doe wbon he calls on a girl." "You've kept it from me," said tbe father. "I never thought it of you." "Pa, dear," said the girl, coming and kneeling beside him "I never knew a girl to go about telling folks she had a beau; but you might have teen bim anv Sundavnicrbt. And now wp nr talking of it, pa, I will say tbat if you don't let me marry Jim, I'll never marry any one." "You're likely to .die an old maid, tben, Eliza," said Mr. Horner; and as he spoke he decided that on Thursday, when he went to Wooden Row to col lect his rents, be would speak to father and son men bad more sense than wo men. When they saw there was no chance of his money, Jim would drop the thought of marrying Eliza, and then the girl would see that she had only to forget him. "With her chances," the old man said, "it's doing her no wrong." This was tbe reason why he was so astonishingly quiet, when the women expected a scene. On Thursday he carried out his plans. Ho had been collecting a good deal of money, and came after dark to tbe three houses that were his in Wooden Row. When he had got his rent, he went, for the first time in years, down to tbe tinsmith's door and looked in. Jerry lifted up his eyes; he was read ing tbe daily paper through his glasses by the light of a little kerosene lamp. "Glad to see you, Horner," be said. "It is a good while since yon stopped in. Rut better late than never. Jim, push up tbe rocker here. Many a time you've sat in it before. And bow is your health, Jack?" "My health is good enough, and I hope your is," said Horner. "Rut I won't sit down. What I have to say I can saj- standing. It is only this : 'I've found out that Jim has been coming over to pee Eliza. I didn't know it be- fore. Now I want that to stop. If Eliza is a fool I'm not. You .under stand, Jim?"' "I understand, anyhow," said Jerry. "Jim is not rich enough for Eliza Hor ner. Where was your pride, to go after a girl "whose parents despised poor folks. Jim?" "I never thonght of her folks," said Jim. "I like her; she likes me, and tbat is the whole of it." "Never thought of me, indeed! Not a penny of my money does the girl get if she marries you," said Horner, in a fnry. "I don't want a penny of it, sir," said Jim. "I guess I shall make money for myself; I mean to try." "At a1! events, don't come to my house again," said Horner. "Now, Jim. where is your pride?" said Jerry Pine. "All right," said Jim. "I won't come to your house, but I'll see Eliza when ever I can, Mr. Horner. Everything has turned to money with yon. You don't seem to remember that there is ' m ri . I . . - w f . .lah v.... " ruiitt: uuug t?ia? 111 lilt; wvai4. Furious at this self-assertion on the part of the tinsmith's son, Jack Horner, with his satchel full of those plums that grown folks value namely, dollars and cents took his way homeward. He look the lonely shore road m the shortest way, but after a few moments be felt tbat be bad not done wisely. There were dangerous characters about, and he was known to have cash with bim. A certaiu apprehension of evil seized him, and the souud of steps behind him made him shiver. A moment more two men came up with him. "Good evening, Mr. Horner," said' one. "Good eveniug," said tbe rich man, hurrying on. "You might as well stop, Jack Hor ner," said the man who bad not yet ad dressed bim. "We will have to make you, else. We want that little satchel and whatever elso yon have about you." "You'll not get it," said Horner. He crammed bis band into his pistol pocket and pulled out the weapDn be always car rietl there. It was wrenched from his hand in a moment. He roared for help; the wind teemed to snatch his voice away from him. The next thiug be knew his hands and feet were tied, and they were roll ing him over on the sand as they robbed bim of watch and chain, diamond pin all that was upon him. Suddenly he' recognized their faces. "Ah ! I thonght I knew you, you two rascals!" he said. " You're tbe Rarkcr boys." He could have done no more impru dent thing. "I say, Tom," said one of the men ; "ont therein the quicksand is the place for him. No danger there. Dead men tell no tales." Again Horner roared, but they were carrying him toward the shore. His end had come. He tried to pray. He thonght of wife and daughter. Life seemed very sweet to him, and they wete going to take it from him. "Heave him; he'll sink like R shot just here," Mud one of tbem. But bis words ended in a bowl of ag ony. Be fell, dropping Horner's feet Then tbe two rascals lay prostrate, and he saw Jim bending over bim. "I'll untie yon, Mr. Horner," said h. Dad and! -heard ton; and smessed .what had happened: . We" brought a couple of bits of iron with us. that set; tied the hash for those fellows. And now dad will go for the officers,, while I stand. guard. I don't think I've quite finished them." "Great heaven, Jim! my life was not woiih a penny when you came' said Horner. "They were going to throw me into the qricksandsi Oid friend," and he turned to Jerry, "yon and your i)oy have saved my life." " Thank God !" said the tinsmith. "I did not think we'd be in time. "Why, Eliza, your pa U coming up the path arm in arm with Jerry Fine, said Mrs. Horner, who, anxious about her husband, was "looking from the window; and in a minute more Eliza taw tbe sight herself. Jack Horner was very.pa'.e, but his eve3 had a look in them bis wife had hardly seen siuce they came from Wooden Uow to live in the villa, "You've been within an inch of losing your father, Eliza," he said to his daughter. "Your Jim and his father tnved me. I'd never been home again else. I learned a lesson that minute when I looked death in tbe face. I I've thought too much of money lately." "Take her, Jack, if yon love each other, and may God bless you both." Then the two'old mea clasped hands and renewed their friendship. t,eoiLtxa a tete-a-tete. - The hnowiug one3 had an example a few davs a of tue womanly patience ! and tact which wives are supposed, or rather expected, to possess. A spectacular attraction, which on listed the services of some pretty bal let girls, came to one of our leading theaters. Four well-known gentlemen conceived the idea that it would be good fun to invite several of tbe prettiest of the corps de ballet to a midnight sup per and they acted upon the idea. The ballet girl3 were iuvited and accepted the invitation with charming alacrity. A box at the theater was engaged and a dainty supper of bivalves, birds and champaign ordered at a popular cafe. Then each conspirator told the lady of his bosom that "business would call bim out of town" such and such a day, and tbat he would be obiged to remain over night. In an evil momeut, how ever, tbe fourth invited a fifth entle man to join the party. He consented and became cognizant of all the details of the plan. Why the fiend tempted him to turn Judas will never be known, but certain it is that he told his unsus pecting victims that be would have to stay away on said evening and could not join them. Then be went . to the four wives and invited them to a thea ter party, telling them tbat he bad a box and would be glad to have them occupy it. The ladie3 gladly aceopted, each saying that as her husband was called out of town that evening she would be delighted to have such a pleasant way of passing the otherwise lonety hours. To each tbe plotter tben suggested that she should not tell her husband of her engagement, but re serve it as a pleasant surprise for his return. On the morning of the eventful day ; be sent tbe ladies word tbat he would be detained by important business that evening, but that a certain silver haired lady of their acquaintance had accepted the oflice of chaperon and be trusted that the evening would be none the less enjoyable because of his en forced absence. When evening came the fonr gentle men, in stunning evening dress, filed into the right hand proscenium box at the theater. They were so intent nron their thonghts abont the delights of the revel they were to enjoy after the per formance that they did not notice the five ladies in beantifnl evening cos tumes who a few minnte3 later took seats in the opposite box. At last, iu a pause in the conversation, tbe glances of one of the men fell upon bis neighbors. Instantly his attitude be came rigid,- his eyes protruded and his circulation ' seemed momentarily sus pended. Tben he gasped : "Great Scott! boys, there are our wives !" Paralysis suddenly struck the other three. Silence reigned ' supreme. Finally one of them wiped tbe beads of perspiration from his brow and said: "Ry Jove! what shall we do?" After several moments of "gonized suspense tbe most courageous member of the quartette wended his way to the box where his wife sat. She received bim graciously, and bis stammered ex planation of discovering that be did not have to go away and accepting, at tbe last moment, an invitation to the thea ter was evidently all that could be de sired. One by one tbe reraaiuiug cul prits followed suit. Each was smil ingly received, and when tbo fourth be gan his little speech, his wife said archly: "I am sure Ave are glad you are here, for no one would enjoy a sap per after the play more than we." They had their supper, and no !:ulie3 were evermore devotedly waited on by their leige lords than they. It was a rate joke and the only cnes'ho did not appreciate it were the ballet girls who lost tbe supper. Rut that fifth man has not dared to show up since. ,IUST SO.

When I come home late now I open the door quietly and throw in my hat. If it is kicked out I don't go in.

ELECTitHJAL PHOTOGRAPHY. Wizard Kdlson lias Ilevlsekl A Process Which Works at Lightning Speed. It seems almost like a fairy tale to read of tbe new and wonderful directions . la which the fertile brain of the great electri cal wizard, Thomas A. Edison, is reaching ont. About a year ago Mr. Edison became inteusely interested iu instantaneous pho tography in its possible availability in con nection with tb.3 phonograph, and at once began an exhaustive series of experiments in that direction The first thing was to develop the possibility of the camera as to rapidity of exposure, and experiments were made in photographing a bnllet passing through tbe air with an initial velo.ity of 5,(00 feet a second. Bnt to secure a per fect picture of a bullet moving at this ex traordinary Velocity it must apparently bo at test and hence the actual time of ex posure mast be brought down to incredibly innnitessimal limits. TLe inventor at once harnessed the light ning to do the work, and before the camera arranged a series of vertical wires so fine as to be practically invisible, and so con nected that tbe "breaking of any one of them would complete an electrical circuit and famish an illuminating spark for tbe Zl)l,iMWli oi a Fecond. Tbe slight, imper ceptible tremor of tbe room in which tbe experiments were conducted, caused bj the motion of tbe machinery and dnamot., was sufficient, to destroy the sharpness and valneoftbe photographic images. 'J his was overcome by erecting a special build ing for the purpose and placing the camera on a pier of solid masonry running down to the primitive rock. Then, and only then, it was that success attended the ex perimentg. Anecdotes About Bismarck. Prince Bismarck was on one occasion challenged to fight a dnel by the Austrian statesman Count Itechberg. Both were at tbe time ambassadors to the German diet at Frankfort. Prince Bismarck (then Herr von Bismarck Schouhausen) soon found oat that Count Rechberg was hot tempered and passionate, but in the main honorable and good-natnred. Count Rechberg, on his side, cordially disliked Prnssia, and its astato representative, but did his best all the same 'to keep on ami cable terms with his colleague. Roth of ficially and socially there was, how ever, plenty of friction between the two. On one occasion things came to such a pitch tbat Connt Rechberg,. entirely losing his self-control, passionately exclaimed: "On of my friends shall wait on you in the morning." " Why all tbia unnecessary delay?" Herr von Rismarok coolly replied. "In all probability you have a pair of pis tols handy. Let us settle the matter im mediately. While you get the things ready I shall write a report abont the whole transaction, which, in case I am killed, I request you to forward to Berlin." Both set about their work. When Bismarck had finished he handed the sheet to Count Rechberg, requesting him to examine it. Rechberg's passion bad in the meantime given way to sober reflection. After hav ing perused the report, he baid, "What you say is quite correct; bnt is it really worth while to fight a duel for such a reason?" "Tbat is exactly my opinion," was Bis marck's answer, and the matter ended. One day Count Rechberg called on the Prnssian ambassador to show him a dis patch from his government instructing the connt to vote with Prnssia at the next meeting of the German diet. Bismarck read the document and returned it to the count, saying, "This is evidently a mis take." Rechberg in his tnrn looked at the sheet and changed color. In stead of the (filcial letter he bad by mistake handed to Bisraatck tbe secret instrnctions he had received concurrently, calling upon him, while openly counte nancing Rnssit, to use his utmost en deavor to cause t ho other German stales to vote against the measure. Here was Prince Bismarck's opportunity. How he used It the sequel will" show. For a mo ment both statesmen looked at one an other in silence. Then Bismarck said: " Don't be unset. You have never intended giving me tbe letter. Ergo, yon never gave it to me; ergo, I know nothing abont the matter." As n matter of fact, Bis marck never reported the letter to Berlin. But he gained Count Rechberg's confi dence, in his eyes an important conquest. Kissed Another Man's Wife. "Ton scoundrel," yelled voung Jacob Green, At his good neighbor, brown "You kisied iny vite nion the street 1 ought to l.uock vou down." "That's where you re wrong," good Brown re pliud. In accents mild and meek ; "I kissed her, that I've not denied. But kisrteil her on tbo check, and I did it because sh-j Iookod so hand some tho very picture of bo-iuty and health. What is the secret o it?" "Well." replied Green, "since yoi: ask it. I will tell you: Sho ues Dr. Piereo's Favorite Pre scription. I accept your apology. Good night."
