STEPS OF A LADDER.
( Ry Harriet Prc'ott Sporrnnl. )
She was pale and thin , but might lisvc
been pleasing , haiL&he not been shaptly with
the motion of the ship , for there had been
quite a swell on 'from the hour wo cast off.
As It was , she &ViJack , Indifferent to life
or death or the ItftVAng world , nnd received
ns to the ninnrtCT Vbrn the kindly atten
tion of Mrs. 1'rldemix , who had crossed so
often that she Is ns much at home at ECS as
on shore.
"Who Is she ? " said my sister , observing
her case.
"My maid , Ahhls lleeoher , " slip answered ;
and she afterward told me she ? had encaged
the young woman lh ° week before , because
she had shown a pretty knack In the ar
rangement of hair and tha designing of
Eowns , Ins young \\oman having also de
clared that she did , not know what seasick
ness was. She told the truth , perhaps ; she
did not know nl the tlmo ; she had evidently
found out since. And Mrs. Prldcaujc , half
compassionate and half amused , was by way
of winning eternal gratitude , In seeing that
the deck steward made the young woman
comfortable , and In not happening to think
of mentioning the relation between them.
My sister , who had been visiting at a country
house with pome of our American friends ,
desiring to try English life , had taken for a
few seasons , when she first came across the
girl , Annlo Ileecher , the daughter of a
laborer on the neighboring estate of the carl
of Savcrlelgh , 111 fed , scantily clothed , and
running wild. The good housekeeper at the
castle had presently sent for her to take some
subordinate position , and moling her aptl-
tudt ? , had promoted her till a chance
brought her to the attention of the old
countess , after which she 'was moro or lesa
about that personage , waiting on her and
reading to her. She had been taught at the
village school , nnd , quick to mark and heed.
she soon acquainted and familiarized herself
with the gentle movements , the low voices
of the drawing room , nnd the observance of
the table. Then her father had re
ceived some Injury , I believe , and she
had been obliged to leave these pleasant
places and KO back to the cottage and care
for him , feeling sharply , it may be , the con
trast , the rough tone , the rude habit , the
hardship , too , and the unlovellnew of life.
When ho died , another lady ruled at Savcr
lelgh ; and without a relative In the world ,
with a heart aching with ambitions and de
sires , and with nothing before Jer ; but
service , she had conceived the happy thought
of procuring a reference from the old house
keeper , and had begged Mrs. Prideaux , who
was then visiting- her friends again , when
she should join me at Southampton to let
the service be with her. Perhaps she thought
that In the life over here , which gives all a
chance , she would flnd her own. But cer
tainly she could then have had no idea of
playing any other part In It than that of a
skillful lady's maid , which was In Itself a
great step on the ladder of llfo for the young
factotum of the housekeeper. It may have
occurred to her , liowever , when In any In
terval of comparative case , after she had
been brought en deck , she saw certain of the
young girls gayly jlrqmenadlng with as much
of their warpaint and feathers as wind nnd
weather permitted ; realized with her quick
wit a difference bslween their ways and
manners nnd th'p oxriulslta breeding of the
ladles nt Savcrlelgh , had a. sense of Injus
tice In the Inequality of position , and felt a
sudden purpose spring within her soul.
Owing to lief- very violent seasickness
she had had no' , 6pjortunlty ; of seeing me
with my sister , and she bad no Idea that the
solitary Individual > paclng up nnd down the
deck was related to > her mistress. Dut nt
dne time when t'to ship had given an unex
pected lurch , I chanced to hinder her , limp
and lielploM. from falling out of her chair ;
and after that I now and then addressed her
a word with thtl freedom of fellow passengers -
gers , and hardly thought a change In my
conduct wqrth w ) > | Jewhen I learned ; ( W-ho she'
was/tha moro as liwas.somethJng-of n'studerit' '
of human nature , be It In maid or mistress.
The young girls irliom she was watching ,
when she could , 'often stopped and spoke
with her. "It must bo dreadful to bo 00 111 , "
said one ,
"Oh ! " she sighed In answer. "I could
wish I had never left Saverlelgh. "
"Saverlelgh ? Where Is that ? "
"Tho earl'o ptoco , don't you know. "
"The earl ! " cried the young republican.
"Whit earl ? "
"The earl of Saverlelgh , to bo sure. "
"And you lived In an earl's castle ? "
"We lived on the. estate , " murmured Annls.
And then the other rearranged the rugs ,
somewhat reverentially about the Invalid who
had something to do with an earl's castle ,
and tripped away.
When she saw Annls again on deck among
her wraps and pillows , this young port-on
came to Inquire for her health , "I nm afraid
It la as much homesickness as seasickness , "
she said. "I should bo homesick , too. If I
had left a castle. Wo went over Warwick
castle Just before we left. I stole a sheet of
note-paper nt least the man tuw mo take
It , nnd I tipped him. Did you often go to
the castle nt Saverlelgh ? Did you know the
earl ? My ! And the countess ? An earl's wife
Is a countess ? "
"Tho idea ! And you left all that for the
sake of eoslng America ? "
"Fancy ! " said Annls needier , with an ef
fort. "And then It may ba you loft a beauti
ful home and dear relatives for the sake
of peeing Europe. "
"Oh , girls ! " cried the questioner , on re
turning to her compatriots. "Sho knows earls
nnd countesses , and has left such a beautiful
homo as Saverlelgh castle for the sake of
seeing America ! " And Annls would have
been deaf not to have heard the shrill sweet
voice.
When , a day or two afterward , I took a
vacant chair , and saw that It was beside her ,
and BIW how wretchedly she looked , I said
encouragingly , "We shall soon bo in port
"Oh , It's not that , Indeed , fir. It's to think
of the whole thing over again , " she sighed
with languid seasick bitterness.
"Well , well , perhaps you won't have It
over. You may stay on this .side and not
co homo again. "
"Not go home' ' to Savcrlolgh , sir ! " one ex
claimed. I noticed that something later she
dropped the "s'.rs. "
"Is SaverlelRh your home ? "
"Oh certainly , " she said ; which was true ,
but might have been misleading. ,
However , wo arrived In harbor shortly
after this" , and Mrs. Prideaux drove to her
hourc , and I to my club. And having vari
ous affairs to arrange , some dya slipped by
before I went round to my sister's. I was
lurdly surprised fo hear her my that Annis
needier , as soonjm pho wau sufficiently re
stored , had manlfboldd her eternal gratitude
by announcing tTuU'Phe ' was going Into a
dremmikliiB ostnM ument connected with a

year's designing and fitting been brought
into close contact 'with so many fine ladles
that she was now really quite a fine lady
It was a number of months after the passage -
sago money had been repaid that , going
over In the Qascogno , I saw Mlsa Deccber
come aboard. She was escorted by a son of
the head of the firm , which , I nfterwardo
learned , had sent her over to &ee > the styles

and to make purchases In Paris , her talents
having won her the opportunity. "Oh , no , "
oho was siylng In reply to pome questfon
from the young man , "The houss allows mo
but six weeks ; -and , with so much to do , It
will not bo poaslblb for mo to take In Saver
lelgh. And besides" she hesitated , nnd
burled her fac& In the rose * she carried.
"Ah , I see , " snld the youth. "Tho carls
end carlcsses don't approve of people who
strike out In the world for themselves. "
"Quito so. Hut the dear countess can
neither approve- nor disapprove now of what
I do. Lady Savorlelgh died last winter , "
with a downward glance at her gown. I
noticed then that Miss Ileecher wore mourn
ing , ngntnst which her nrmful ct red roses
was effective. "Hut Lord Saverlelgh knows , "
she went on , "that many of the quality , I
mean the nobility and the country families , "
correcting herself In time , "qulto our equals ,
are In trade. "
"And n very good thing for them. "
From my coign of vantage I took a sur
vey of the young woman , for she afforded
mo an object lesson , Good living , good ex
pectations , line ambitions , the receipt of
deference , the experience of pleasure , n lively
hope , had nil done well by her. She was
tall nnd finely rounded , her clean , fair
English skin and white teeth , her bright ,
nbundant hair , and her clearly cut features
gave her a rather decided beauty of a sort ,
and her appearance , \\lillo the long , brown
lashes swept the velvety cheek , was qulto
charming. Dut when she lifted the lids ,
the bold and steady gaze of a pair of cold ,
blue eyes took much of the charm away.
The fact that the child of a village laborer ,
btcd from nothing , accustomed to nothing ,
had such receptivity for much that aristoc
racy , wealth , breeding , long descent , im
plied , was an Interesting feature In heredity.
Where nrd how had the strain come In
that made this possible ? Could It b ? the
moro circumstance of sex , of femininity ,
that rendered her superior to the. clod from
which she sprung ? Or was she a , sponta
neous Instance of a new departure ? I won
dered for a little In what way ithe clement
that gave her these capabilities came Into her
blcod. She had evidently found her chance
and Improved It ; she must have gone n
great deal to the theater , that picture nnd
school llfo ; she must have read and reasoned ,
watched , observed , and Imitated ; doubtless
she could have passed an examination on
the heroines of the novels of fashionable life.
And then , as she appeared no moro during the
passage , I forgot her. I saw her , however ,
by accident , just before the allotted six
weeks of her absence ended , but It was In
London , after all , and nt the opera. She
was not caring for the play , I Judged , or the
music. Her whole attention was given to
the boxes. It was a night when royalty was
In great evidence , -and some one was with
her pointing out the people of Importance. I
felt that not the beauty of Earner , nor the
majesty of the Do Ilcszkes , not the marvelous
echo of Vol die sapete. but the pose of the
princess , the droop of the eyelash of the
duchess of Lelnster , the gentle1 hauteur of
L/ady Urooke , remembrance of the clothes of
the professional beauties and of tho'way
they wore them , were what she would carry
away with her.
When I saw Miss Deccher again she was
at home , and at the horse show It was no
longer the son of the head of the hc-uss , but
the head of the house himself who accom
panied her. As faultlessly dressed as her
patrons , she was handsome , hr.ppy brilliant
and beaming. Hathc-r sure that she was of
an Impeccable social morality , according to
her code , I regarded it only as a further step
on her ladder. I had no doubt she was
comparing the horses to the Saverlelgh stud ,
and was not surprised to overhear , as I
passed round Into an adjoining box , "Ah ,
no , It Is quite broken up. Ours was a great
hunting country , don't you know. Dut the
stables are closed. Lord Saverlelgh Is not
living , yoj may rrve heard. The titles were
In the male line and they have , lapsed , and
nn American'has ' bought the castle. Fancy ! "
. "Hard on you now , I call that , " said her
companion.
"It Is sad , but It Is so , " she sighed. "I
shall never see Saverlelgh again. I couldn't
bear to sea It , don't you know. " And the
fllemaker began to jump.
My sister showed me , shortly after this , a
pretty trifle which Miss Ueecher had brought
her from Paris , where she new made the
yearly trip for the establishment , and which
she had begged Mrs. Prideaux to accept as
a token of sensibility to kindness re
ceived .since- first coming to this coun
try , kindness which had made It possible for
her to rise on the ladder of llfo , and kindness
which she now felt would never fall her.
And then I beard no more of this young
woman till a year or so had passed , and I
was called lntosa case Involving an attempt
to defraud the government of duties on a
quantity of costly lace.
The firm employing Miss needier were the
parties answerable to the charges , and I wont
to represent my sister , whom Miss needier
had requested to certify her respectability ,
she having brought over the lace.
Her distress was so evident , but her at
testations wore so quiet and well-bred , that
her Innocence Impressed young Van Hen-
thuysen , who appeared for the government
prosecutor. "I entered it as I thought I
should. As I did last year , " she said , the
blue eyes softened with their brimming
tears. "How can I expect to know your
constantly changing laws ? "
"In these days , " said the head of the firm ,
"when many of the nobility of Europe are
bettering themselves In business , we have
felt ourselves fortunate In having an English
lady of Miss neechor's rank and associations1 ,
and and birth , at the head of our dress
department. Dut it hardly seems to me that
wo should txpect the same familiarity with
our customs laws as with laces and velvets ,
from one of the family of the carl of Saver
lelgh. "
"This lady ? " said Van Denthuysen.
She bowed. "A membr rf the carl's house
hold , " she murmured half Inaudlbly , so that
one heard only the word "carl" with dis
tinctness. The she raised her head haughtily
that was her Innocence of the smuggling
and looked at mo , her cold eyes melting Into
something like a beseeching smile that was
her appeal for my silence.
I have no class prejudices. Hut I plead a
love of truth In geueral. Here , however , It
did not rcom as If the balanca of the uni
verse wore to bo disturbed. Perhaps If I had
foreseen the , future but I am not sure. A
pretty woman IP dlatross h-as a claim su
perior to some consideration of right nnd
wrong , nnd nature enforces It' . "My sifter ,
Mrs. Prideaux , has been a fren ! < t > of Mlsa
neecher's for some years , " I said. "And I
hog to assure you that It Is qulto Impossible
to consider this charge In relation to her.
As the firm are ready to meet the demands
of the government , I think you will bo quite
wlthirt the law , Van Uenthuyssn , If you ac
cept their proposals. "
"I will make such report , " said he. "And
no one can regret moro than myself the un-
ploatunt duty that was forced upon mo hore. "
And after a short conversion with us In
general , nnd a few worda In particular to
Mlsa lieecher , he took himself and his papers
off ,
"A fine fellow , young Van nenthuyson , "
said the head of the firm , "In training for
political llfo , blood will tell as I'm cure
you make us feel , Mlsa needier. Ho iu one
of the old Knickerbocker stock. Ilia father ,
the general , fine upright old fellow , was
minister of the court of concerned If I re
member just where , nut he'a a millionaire
times over , and he boasts that there's no
bluer blood than hla this eldo of Amster
dam. Hut I reckon wo can eoa him , and go
cno better , eh , Miss Ueecher ? "
A great bunch of orchids , of a species
grown only In the Van IJenthuysen's orchid
houses , that I iaw on Miss lieecher'a drew
at a philharmonic , attested possibly young
Van Hontliuyscn's appreciation of this
strange azul of hers , a little later. Some one
said she had developed a quite surprising
knowledge of orchids orchldv phe had said ,
were a fad of the earl's ; and It wag gald that
It was on a visit to thsaj orcbld houses that
she met other members of the Van Den-
thuyten family.
I do not , however , know accurately any
thing about that , nut In these days one Is
surprised at noth'ng. And so poeslbly I
ought to have felt no astonishment when in
the course of a few months -my sister , com
ing in from her carriage with Miss Cort-
landt , opened a billet containing wedding
cards. "Tho old simpleton ! " she exclaimed.
"Th'nk ol It ! General Van nenthuysen ! IB
It possible that ho has married again ? And
to whom ? Let me ? ee Miss Anne Ilcau-
chainp. Very aristocratic sound. I wonder
who she Is now. "
I looked over Mrs. Prldeaux'a shoulder.
"It In the wny they uptll needier In Ens-
land. " I said.
"Why , haven't you hend ? " crlfil Mlns
Cortlandt. "It l n't half a bad thing. Ilrni-
ton says. People thought It was Van at
first. Hut he Isn't In It. Rho hasn't any
money hut then th old general lias enough
for two , with a moderate dcuree of economy ,
you know. She Is still young , and very well
looking , dresses perfectly. Quito well con-
necteJ , tro. I hear the general will have
her presented at the next drawing room after
they go over , unless they Rrt flirt to Italy.
She Is n member of the fain ly of the carl
of Saver-letch. "
And neither I nsr Mrs. Prldwux smiled.
"Don't you think an Impoverished nnd long-
descended Italian prince would da well
by himself It ho married the very wealthy
widow of an American general ? " ta'd my
sister to mo once , after reading her foreign
mall. "A connection of the carl of Savcr
lelgh has n right to marry among princes.
Our princess will not be exactly an example
of ground and lefty tumbling "
"No ; only of climbing a ladder Into the
clouds , " I said ,
"Well , you cannot wy my maid nnd I hnvo
not furnished you entertainment very pretty
petite comedle. "
"If It Is net rather that high tragedy which
makes the angels weep , " I said.

Mining camps are replete " 1th Interesting
stories of prospectors who have struck It rich
nnd of those who , after yc > ir of unsuccessful
effort , flnd themselves "dead broke" In their
old ago because luck was against them.
"Whllo everybody believes moro or less In
the existence of that something known as
"luck , " said Jean bccker , formerly a resi
dent of the Ulack Hills , and one of the pioneers
neers of that region , to a Globs-Democrat man ,
"tho prospector , who climbs over mountains
and trulls along streams winding their devi
ous way through tortuous gulchej , moro than
anybody , Is n believer that 'luck' shapes the
destinies of all men. Ho will tell you frankly
that ho believes In luck , and Is alnays pre
pared with what ha considers Irrefutable
arguments In support of his belief. If argu
ments fall to convince , ho Is teady to relate
experiences by the score , experiences of his
own and of others , to prove that 'luck * Is
behind all success nnd failure , and that 'luck , '
good or bad , Is responsible for the success
or failure of all undertakings.
"L. F. Hlldcrbrand , a little , wiry French
man , who drives nn express wagon in Deadwood -
wood , Is a firm believer In 'luck , ' for the
greater number of the many years that cause
his curly beard and hair to be BO liberally
besprinkled with silver have been spent In
the mountains of the west. It Is 'luck' that
Is responsible for the fact that ho Is now
driving a dray Instead of llvlni ; a life of case
and enjoying the luxuries and comforts that
the possession of unlimited means make pos
sible. Had Jluck' not been ngalnst him ho
would now ba Mr. Hllderbrand , and not 'Hll-
derbrand , the drayman ' It > vss 'luck' that
causaJ him , moro ? in thirty years ago , to
stumble against a mountain side In Mon
tana , and It was the same Muck' that caused
him to chip off a piece from n huge boulder
ho found there to flnd that ho had 'struck It
rich , ' for the boulder was quartz , and so rich
In gold that It fairly made his eyes pop and
his heart bent with a rapidity that threatened
serious results to Its outer covering. He
soon got over his excitement , and , with the
prospector's Instinct , began to look for the
lead from which the boulder had sloughed
off. 'Luck' was still with him , for he traced
the lead and at once began to open It. He
had a partner , and the two worked hard ,
for , although quartz mining was then merely
an experiment In Montana , they knew the
time was coming when placer mining would
end and quartz mining would receive the
attention of men anxious for a quick way ol
Increasing their wealth.
"They were poor , and thslr supply of 'grub
was limited , but they knew that there were
plenty of men In the territory who would
gladly 'stake' them as soon as they learned
of the richness of their find. So far nil of
their Muck' had been -of the quality described
as 'good , ' but a change way to come , and
that soon. "Their Muck' was destined to un
dergo a chango. In an unfortunate moment
they undertook to Voll out of the wny the
great boulder which had guided them to
where fortune was awaiting them. Whether
It was this or something else that caused
their good Muck' to change Is not known ,
but Hllderbrand believes that the attempt
to change the location of the boulder of
fended the genl that for years had guarded
the hidden treasures of the mountain , for
the boulder rolled over on the arm of his
partner and so badly crushed It that It be
came useless. Being without money they
had to leave the place. Hllderbrand going to
French Gulch to seek employment In the
placer mines there , while his partner went
to Helena to obtain surgical assistance.
"Years passed on nnd Hllderbrand began
to think lesa of the 'flnd' and when the
stampede for Deadwook began lie was one
of the first to join the rush and Muck of the
good kind aided him to locate n paying
c'nlm in that part of the city which was
once known us Ellzabethtown. After the
claim had been worked out ho again drifted
west and was ono of the pioneers in the
Cceu'r d'Alene mountains. Had Muck' again
become his companion , and he drifted from
ono place to another , until flnally ho found
hin-.Eelf once more In Montana , and one day
ho stood once more gazing on the boulder of
rich quartz on which he had feasted his
eyes years before. The boulder had the fa
miliar appearance of an old friend , but Its
suiroundlngs had so changed that Hlldsr-
brand was bewildered ,
"In place of the modest little tunnel he
had helped to dig over a quarter of a cen
tury before , he found a monster hoisting
plant raising rich ore from a shaft hundn-10
of feet in depth , while In the gulch thundered
and roared a monster stamp mill. The
boulder had been removed and It occupied
a place of honor In front of a splendid build
ing. Surrounded by an iron railing , from
which dangled signs cautioning trespassers
to beware the boulder stood nn object of
veneration and curiosity , for It told to the
world that It was the identical rock that
had led to the discovery of the famous Drum
Lummon mine , one of the richest gold pro-
dr.ceni In the United Stntes.
"Hlldeibrnnd attempted to touch the
boulder , but a burly watchman ordered him
off. Finally eloquence prevailed , and the
man whose Muck' had been his ruin was per
mitted to plice his hand on the boulder and
run his flngers over the spot which marked
tliu place from which ho had chipped off
a sample years before.
"Sometimes Hllderbrand tells the story ,
and always winds It up by laying his hands
over his heart and looking far nwny nnd
saying ; 'Oh , I feel so pinch here , ' indicating
that portion of his anatomy covered by his
liards , 'w'cn I como back and see de mill
and de mine and tlnk of de time w'en I
[ Ind de boulder and don Unit what might
'avo been If luck had been wld me h'ln-
stead of do h'ole man Cruse. ' "

The Old Kolillor Di-fUeil wMli tin ; IH-
HlKTiiIn of ( lie Order of Ilollva'r.
The most gorgeously appareled attendant
upon the diplomatic reception nt the white
housa Thursday night was General Daniel
E. Sickles , the gallant old soldier of New
York , says the Washington Post. Arrayed In
the full uniform of a major general of the
United States army , with fash nnd s ord ,
the latter of which ho wore with all grace ,
despite his phyiJcal Infirmity , which pom-
pels him to go upon crutches , and adorned
with the Insignia of a foreign order , he
was literally "tho observed of all observers. "
On the floor of the house yesterday , whera
ho received a cordial welcome from his old
associates , the general told an Interesting
tale of his possession of the decoration. "I
always como over to attend the president's
receptions to the diplomatic corps and to the
army and navy , " ho explained. "Last night ,
Inasmuch , ns Venezuela Is the reigning , topic
of conversation , I concluded I would'wear
the decoration sent me by that Government.
I thought the UrlUnH ambassador would en
joy It. The Insignia Is a star and ribbon for
the neck , of the Order of Bolivar , Instituted
in honor of the South American liberator.
H was presented to me for the reason that at
two widely different periods In the life of ,
General Paes , Dollvar'a lieutenant , I was
Instrumental In securing Homo attention to
him from the administration In the United
States.- General Paes was originally a cow
boy , but possessed excellent military ability.
Ho was made conimander-ln-chlof cjf noll-
var's forces , and was twice elected president
of the republic of Venezuela , When elected
the first tlmo ho % vns living In New York ,
and I Induced President Huclinnan to ten
der htm a war t.'hlp In which to make the
trip to be Inaugurated. Again , when ho
died , he was residing In Nuw Yoik , nnd 1
was marshal of a procession that escorted
his remains to a war vessel , which , at my
solicitation Preuldent Cleveland tendjrftd
to convey them for Interment In Venezuela.
It was a very flue demonstration , and Gen
erals Sherman and Sheridan took part , and
I hope he knew something about what wo
were doing for him. Tha ronprcba of
Venezuela appropriated a sum for the erec
tion of a monument to Ms memory and the
government scut mo a decoration as a testimonial
menial of Its appreciation of my connec
tion with the soldier In this country. Mr.
Andradf , the Venezuelan minister , by ft ,
coincidence , wore tha same decoration , and
lie was delighted when he saw mine , "

Ono of the , neatest Inventions that have
been made recently l the onu plannc-d by
P. V. Slinnis , sayu the Louisville Post , Mr.
smnu : was greatly Interested In a recent jail
delivery , and Immediately after the pris
oners escaped ho sot to work to devise a
plan to prevent any .similar occurrence. Mr ,
Klmnis prnpoccs to burrciiml each roll by on
air-tight compartment. TliU will IIP filled
with carbondloxlde under a prcxbiiro much
higher than Unit of air. In each compart
ment tlifro will be a small retort containing
lumps of maiblo , covered by diluted sulphuric
arid. This will fill the tank with tha gas.
In niiMthcr purl of the comp.iitini.-nt u wnall

other gas , Id held In place by a wire frame.
Fastened to the lop of thu bullonn U a thin
metal plate connected to an electric wire.
Directly over the plate In the point pf a
Bcrew , to which the other \vlre la fastened.
This screw li turned until It .ilmost touches
the plate , and the wire * aio connected wltli
a bell and a battery.
When a prisoner bores a holt- through ths
