Money dou- bles under his touch, and their seems to be no limit to his luck, Ot' judgment, whichever it is that guides him." "But better than I deserve," said the young man earnestly. "ft was a mere matter of youth and strength. He was getting rather the worst of 'a struggle with two bush-men when I came along." "But you were shot." "% mere flesh wound that has never troubled me. Believe me, I thought nothing of any claim upon Miss Lee- man, and had resolved never to marry a great heiress, even to oblige her father, until T saw her. An hour he- side her scattered all my fine resolu- tions. Who could see her and not love her l" Sadie, who had most quietly set aside every \vooer, never doubted the truth of Edward Tnderhill's love. Her quick gratitude was won before she Saw him by her father's letr ter describing the fearful bdds against which he had saved Godfrey Leeman's life. With a heart singularly pure and free from guile, she still knew that there was attraction in a full purse, and was inclined to resent any atten- tion paid to her, which Kate and Fair Try Cresswell did not receive, He was a rising lawyer, with a mo derate fortune, and had gone to Australia in a sort of tour around the world he took before settling; down to the practice of his profession ; and in his travels in the favored island he had met Godfrey Leeman, and heard of the colossal fortune that gentleman had made in twenty years of fortunate investments. There was no doubt in Sunnydale of the stability of Godfrey Leemaa's wealth ; but, after all, it was something to have it eonfhnned by one who had been on the spot and seen the proof. "And he wants you to take our little Sadie from us," said Mrs. Cas- Well; "fle thinks well 9f you," _ "They area hundred times prettier than Tam, and twice as attractive in every way, it is just papa's money!" she would say indigmantly, if she thought them slighted. But when Edward Underhilllpaid to them only the ordinary courtesies, and sought to And Edward Underhill, coming home from Australia with a letter to Mrs. Cresswell, full of enthusiasm and self-sae/fee, and vesoltate in his deter- mination never to be won by money, surrendered in half an hour after meet- ing Sadie. ' Not even after society claimed her could the adulation and ffattery harden the sweet nature, of introduce one ele- ment or selfishness in the gentle, loving heart She was an embodied sun- beam, always ready to laugh, try frolic, to join in pleasure. She was the soul of sympathy, tenderly helpful in suffer- ing, generous to a fault, essentially womanly. Yet they could not spoil her. She was always ready to answer' every call. She would hunt out, words in the dic. tionary for Tom in the intervals of makinga kite for Bob; set up Kate’s knitting when she finished Aunt Cor, rie's cap; fill Uncle Joim's pipe, and Sing iballads for him, or play dancing music half an evening, with equal good temper. And Mrs. Ctsesssven,'hrhrse. hus- band had never been able to make both ends meet, found herself able to make them la'p over, and plenty to spare. The mortgage vanished from the house, new furniture roplaced old, fresh carpets were seen where shabhy ones had been, pretty toilets for the girls, college education for the boys. For ten years there was plenty in the house of Cresswell, where Sadie reigned queen. She was older than some of the Cvesswells, younger than others, but patted, caressed and idolized by all of them "You have taken wire of my girl fur ten years," the father wrote, "and this is for your own use. Give Sadie her share with your own children, if you will, but do not save for her. She will have more than she can spend." Great as she was, considered as heir, ess to a millionaire in Australia, she was the narrowest escape from being a dwarf that ever a full-grown woman was. Exquisitely proportioned, every curve of her: dainty figure rounded to perfection, a Wealth of golden curls crowninga sweet face, she was the tiniest, loveliest little woman that c\’er charmed aman’s heart away. lint she was Godfrey Leeman’s daughter, and for twenty years Godfrey Leeman had been piling up wealth in Australia, while Sadie passed from infancy to childhood, from girlhood to woman- hood. Her mother’s death had made an exile of her. father, but her aunt, Mrs. Cresswell, took her into her nest full of girls and boys, and she was always one of them in every respect. It was fully ten years after Godfrey Leeman left t/mnnydale and his infant child before he began to send home money, but when he did begin every mail from Australia brought a draft, and with it a letter, begging of Mei. Caswell to spend every dollar. Great Australian Mies, BY ANNA SHIELDS “But if she wou't marry me when I ask her, I shall feel very much like flingir1g, myself where yonrmoney lies." "Eh ?

"Youll-youll break the ice for me," he pleaded, the next day, when In the light he was struck by the woeful change in the man he had last seen in vigorous old age. "You have been ill, very ill,"he said getting out wine and biscuit, and drawing a comfdrtable chair to the fhre. "shipwrecked, my friend; ship- wrecked.

"Tlvat's all right then right.” The" man's voice was broken with emotion, and the hand that grasped Edward's quivered as with an ague fit.

It was midwinter, and he had been as a tableau party at Mr. Caswell's. A huge check from Australia, for sadie's Christmas box, had suggested a party, and the young people united in arrang- ing tableaux. Sadie had been Titania, Goody Two Shoes, Cinderellals god- mother, and other dainty, tiny charac ters, and Edward Underhill could not fail to see how much more her heart was set upon adorning her cousins than herself. They had ended with a dance after a final tableau from Midsummer Night's Dream, and Eward Underhill was carrying home the memory of the bewitching Titania, who had just said "good-night," when his visions were scattered by a voice close beside him. And she knew he added "with me" in his heart, as well as if he had spoken it. Every hour he spent with her strengthened his love, won more en- tirely his respect for the tiny lady, who spent her life in such loving, serVice for others. Yet he did not speak. He had been six months in Sunnydale, and every man and woman in the vil- lage had made their comment upon his devotion to Sadie Leeman, and yet he had never asked her to return his love, although his every action proclaimed it. "No. He would scarcely want you to live in the wild part of the country where he does. Yet, perhaps, you may visit him at some future time.” "Ni/ver! Yet his letters to me are full of loving interest. And he never proposes that I shall go to him." "They eall me a great heiress," she said, "but I hare nothing ofmy awn? nothing.” “Your father's fortune will be yours.' "How can I be sure of that? He has not, seen me since I was an infant.

There was a grand wedding, and in Edward Underhill’s home "papa's room" is always ready ,when Uncle Godfvey's is vacated for a time. In a peaceful, happy old age Godfrey Lee, man reaps the reward of his generosity, and the tlrse moan is yet to be heard that Sadie is no longer the great, Aus- tralian heiress: "You've made us all," he said, "There is a pile, of your money invested in my business that, is always subject to your orders, And you have started Tom and Bob, and educated the whole of them, and 'a lifetime will not be long enough to show our gratitude.” And when Godfrey Leeman, trem- bling, and fearing cold looks ur angry reproaches came into the Cresswell parlor, he found such lovely welcome as his lonely life had nut imagined fur years.

"Thanks! I can go back. Tell my little girl I am not 50 old but, I can make money for her again." But Edward Underhill quite fiirgot. to mention that fact, when, after Sadie had promised to be his wife, he told her of her father’s return and mfihor, tunes. "Oh!" she gasped, "and were you waiting for that to speak to me T’ “I don't know, darling.

If I have work to do I do it, and if I can't do it as well as I wish easily I change off and do something else for a while. I eat candy all day, and when it is all gone I go and buy more. I go to bed late or early, just as I happen to feel, and I get up when I am ready. I eat my meals on time because I am the victim of a regular mealtime system, but I eat what I like, regardless of dietetics, dietarians, or food reformers. If soup is served and I have a sudden desire to eat fruit I don’t take soup. As a rule I am partial to the natural foods -fruits, vegetables, nuts, berries, and milk. I breakfast on grape fruit while it is in season. I don’t doctor or take medicine, because I am well. I never had a headache in my life, and I don't, know anything about nervous pvorstra- tion.

I made up my mind when I married that I would be a wife and mother and home- maker first and a writer afterwards. If any sacvifices had to be made, the books,and not the children, suffered. I studied and played and lived with them, and when they were at school I wrote, but my task closed with their sessions." “Yes, always.

Fill up that empty void, employ those vacant hours, aout of two thousand fallen women in the city of New York, eighteen hundred and eighty had been brought up to do nothing, five hundred and twet1ty-five pleaded destitution as the cause of their sad life, and all but fifty-one had been religiously educated." Idleness is a, plain invitation to Vice. All will agree that corner loafers and street loiterers represent, one of the most depraved classes among yming men. The boy that is busy from the time he is old enough to work and study, will not be very likely to wan- der into the paths of vice, unless ex- posed to some special temptation. Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, writing upon this subject says l "Lack of ia, dustrial training not only makes de, pendent and ineeicient women of our daughters, but it puts them in fearful peril morally. Luloleuee is always demoralizing. It ruins health, destroys beauty, and eufeeliles the will. When temptation comes in the prospect of a life of ease, although coupled with dis- honor it is patent to allure anindolent, light-hearted, frivolous young woman, unless nature has endowed her with superior. moral instinct. The notion is far too prevalent that work unless a necessity as a means of obtaining a livelihood, is not a very im- portant factor in the edu'cation of child- ren ; that unless they are obliged to work, it is not particularly necessary for them todo so, at least for th: first score years of their lives. Childhood and youth are looked upon as a season when cares and responsibilities should be as few as possible, and when play, pleasure and attendance upon school are the prime things of importance. Mothers say. "I want my children to have a good time and enjoy life while they are young ; they will have trouble enough as they grow older," never real- izing that the very way to make their life burdensome as they grow older is the very plan of allowing them to grow up with so much unoccupied time. Much of the danger to young girls lies in their lack of systematic home train- ing. Unoccupied and uninterested at home, they drift outside ofhmne for entertainment and amusement; they walk the streets, frequent the depots and parks, go anywhere and every- where where something can be found to occupy their time and attention, while, as one writer upon the subject has said, "the mistaken mother, en- grossed with home duties, her time fully occupied in work, does not real- ize now much her daughter's active mind craves employment, and thus saeriflees her daughter's best good to secure to her the very leisure which is so dangerous. Instead of training her to the habitual thoughtfulness which industry naturally cultivates, she sup- plies her with all the money she can obtain, and all the freedom her self- saerifiee can secure for her, and lets her: drift about, on the cars, in the stores, to concerts, dances and theatre, with no object in life but to pass the hours in pleasure-seeking. It may be that the daughter is unwilling to share the home cares, but this too, is the mother's fault, and the result is the same ; and so these young girls, with- out the balance wheel of deep thought in any direction, without the habit of systematic action in any line, fail easy victims to the influence of a stronger mind." The wonder: is not that so many fall, but that any escape.

Where the Telegraph is [must l'setl. The four countries in the world which possess the smallest. telegraph facilities are Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay and Persia. In the first named there are. only thirty six telegragh offices in the whole country and but 1,600 miles of wire. In the territory of Paraguay there are only 510 miles of wire in operation, and the entire telegraphic service of that country requires the ser- vice of hut twenty-eight persons. One line of 300 miles, owned and operated by the Government, runs from Asun- cion to Patso de Patria, the limit of Paraguayan territory,and the other150 miles by the railroad from Asuncion to Pirapo. Owing to high water and camptirrss in that country the line is often interrupted for days at a. time. A' Paso de Patria the line breaks, there being no cable, over the. Alto Pa. rana River, which is three miles wide. Cornumcntion is therefore by canoe, which takes messages over in the moPr1- ing to the, Argentine side and returns to the Paraguayan Side at night.
