Mrs.'Preston knew something of her history, how her mother, left a widow, when Bettine was scarce ten years old, had come from her home in France to New York, believing, as poor people believe the world over, that in this great, free land there is a fortune for all who seek it. And far a tune for" tune had been kind ; she had found good paying employment , and Bettine had been well educated, and brought up "like a lady," said the mother, whose pride was all for her child, But sickness had come, and at last Bettina was left motherless, and absolutely penniless, in the poor home in which they had been obliged to move even during Mrs. Prerol’s last illness. For six month's having tried in vain to ob. tain employment, the poor girl had been forced to earn her home by helping the mistress of the house, who was a laun- dress. Then, inspired suddenly with an idea not wholly unselfisrh, but in part, a wish to help the shy, dark-eyed girl, whose life was so hard and dreary, she ask. ed ' "It is the work God sends me to do in the present," she would say to her- self, when hope grew faint. Perhaps he has something better in store for me when I shall deserve it." "Perhaps you think she could dress your hair as well," she added, ungraci- ously. _ - - __ It was hard work, but Bettine was braye and patient. And the 'something better' was com- jug, as it comes to all who have faith and patience to work and wait. "What can Bettina know about packing?” said Mrs. Preston in answer to her mothers remark, witha half scornful look at the girl, which said plainly': “She can liisve bid no éxperr ience in tbat." "And far more gently," said Mrs Preston. "Indeed, I can, if I me try," slit! Bejtine. And as Mrs. Preston gave a. smiling consent. she took the brush, and with quick, deft fingers, and a touch so soft as to be almost unfelt, she arranged the lovely silvery hair so well that Miss Preston exclaimed '. "Why, mother. she has done your hair better than Elsie herself!" "She was too busy to come out, ans- wered the girl, who, indeed, looked faint and tired. Her voice was sweet and refined, with a pretty foreign ac cent , and hough she was most plainly dressed, there was about her that inde- finable air which marks the lady al- ways. An yet she was but a poor or- phan the assistent of a laundress, and herself ironed some of the dainty linen which she had just brought home. "Here is Bettine," said Mrs. Pres- ton, with a kindly nod toward the girl; "perhaps she could help with the pack- ing. But you should not have carried that heavy basket, child. Where is Mrs. Gleason 7” Just then there came a timid mp at the door, and a young girl entered, carrying a great basket of snowy lin- en- _ In ansder to her mother's gentle re- monstrance, she said, impatiently '. "You should not have let Elsie go, then. Some one else might have taken care of her brother, if he is ill. You know we are to start for Newport emu ly to mol‘row, and there is all the pack- ing yet to be done, and no time to firid a. new maid. What are we to do?" BY KATHARINE LEE. Miss Preston was trymg to brush her mother's hair, and making sad work ot it, for she was so vexed ; and some of her anger, half-unconsciously, she was expending on the brushing of the soft silvery tresses beneath her hands. With bravery such as heroes seldom know, "'Tis right,” he said, and loosing his strong grip, Dropped like a stone upon the stones below, And lay there dead, the smile still on his lip, What though no Inurels, grow bis grave above, And o'er his name no scriptured shaft may rise? To the sweet spirit of unselfish love, Was not life a glorious sacrifice? ' --Harpers Young People. He saw that ere deliverance could be brought, The frail support they grasped must sure- ly break,' And in that shuddering moment's flash of thought "He choose tiperish for his cornrade's sake Suspended by their hands to one slight hold That bent and creaked beneath their sud- den weight; One Worn with toil and growing gray and old One a mere boy just reaching man's estate. Yet, with a. hero's soul. Alone and young, Were it not well to yield his Single life, On which no parent leaned, no children clung, And save the other to hls babes and wife? In heartless Paris. which to foreign eyes Seems made of mirrors, gaslight, and dis- Play. A splendid buildin 0’s walls began to rise, Ascending iirJatir stone from day to day Highandynore high the pile was builderl well And scores of laborers were busy there, When suddenly a. fragile staging fell, And tyo strong workmen swung aloft in air. Bettina, A not "r'mo, OETRY. you willlbut let "Another of your poor patients !" exclaimed Mrs. Vintou, frowning. "No wonder they call you the 'poor doctor.' You’ll never be anything but poor all your life Carrol, if you go on in this war" islsn't the life of a poor child just as precious in God's sight a Flossie’s i" asked Carrol Dayna, gravely. "What a question !" cried Mrs. Vin- ton, with a. frightened glance at her ‘ds‘i‘ling. l, "I should die if anything happened to Flossie ! Why do you say "such queer things I" And she hastened to overtake the little one, frowning at Carrol as if his question boresome dire import of evil to her darling. But deep in that heart he had regis- tered a vow never to 'marry for money' never to woo an heiress. And accept ing Mrs, Vinton’s belief that Bettina must be rich, he tried to put away all thoughts of her. But all day long those dark, lovely eyes haunted him; and the bright happy face followed him even into his dreafss. . "Come and see my pretty lady,” commanded Flossie, the next morning, as she met her uncle in the ball of their: cottage on her way down to the beach. "Yes, do come, Carrol," said Mrs. Vinton. "Flossie is to take her 'swim- ming lesson,' as she calls it, and I want you to say how long she shall remain in the water." “I will come by and by," said Dr. Dayre. "Dennis Reardon’s little boy is ill, I must see him first." That afternoon they met Mrs. Pres- ton driving; beside her Bettine, her dark eyes shining, her scarletlips part- ed in a happy smile. "She is charming indeed," owned Carrol Dayre in his own heart. Bettine was already down on the beach, but with a child's variableness of purpose, Flossie announced her in- tention of gathering some shells to make a necklace before she could take her swimming lesson' So Mrs. Vin- ton and Bettina walked slowly along the sands, which were almost deserted at that early hour. "Oh! my child !" shrieked Mrs. Vin- ton, wringing her hands in helpless an- guish, and really unable through ex- cess of terror, to move from the spot where she stood. “She is here with Mrs, Preston, who people say, is very rich. Perhaps she is her heiress, Carrol," said Mrs. Vin- ton, who was a little bit mercenary- not for herself, but for: her brother- If he could only marry a rich wife, it would be such a help to him in his pro- fession. He would no longer be a 'poor doctor,' But then, he had such queer ideas of independence. He would not even let her, bis rich sister, help him ; and if she pretended to be ill, and need his services, he would not take a fee. But Bettina was so charming! Perhaps he could not help loving her even if she were rich. A sudden scream from Flossie start. led them, then a. splash, and turning, they saw the child struggling in the water. "Yes, sbe's pretty," sald Flossie, who had been listening. "Her cheeks are red like roses, and her name is Bettina, and she knows lovely stories. and she sang such a lovely French song." "Au in the waves asked he; uncle, teasingly. "No, on the sands afterward," said Flossie, with a charming little pout. "And she's going to teach me to swim to-morrow mornina." "She was," interrupted the sister, eagerly. "Her hair loosened from its net, and fell like a great glossy veil over her. And her feet were as white and soft and dimpled as my Floss1"e's." "She must have been charming in deed, if under such circumstances-' he began. "In the breakers," answered Mrs. Vinton pleased at even this faint ap- pearance of interest on her brother's part. "Where," he asked carelessly, for he was used to his sister's raptures about "charming girls," and obstinately in- different to the fact that in each newly discovered charmer she was a possible w1fe for him. “Carrol, I met such a charming girl this morning," said Mrs. Vinton, one day to her bachelor brother, Carrol Dayre. Mrs. Preston did not mean, inten- tionally to deceive people as to Bett- ine's relation to her; but seeing the two so constantly together, and the ap- parent love between them, certainly no one would have believed them mistress and maid, Mrs. Preston justified her daughter's confidence in her power' of arranging matters.; for on the next day, when the travellers started on their trip to Newport, Bettina went with them. And when, shortly, Miss Preston ioin- ed a party of friends in an excursion to the Adirondacks she almost more than filled the daughters’s place in her lovely care oi the clear lady who had made her life so bright. “Coine and help me," said Mrs. Pres- ton, who had quite recovered her. ami- ntility at the unexpected salution of her diff1eulties. "Mother will arrange it with Mrs. Gleason. She always has her own way about things. No one ever says 'No' to you. Do they moth. er l" u'Oh, if I only might !" exclaimed Bettina clasping her hands in an ecstacy of dtlight, "Would you like to live here and be my Paid, Bettina f" "You have deceived me !" “I thought you knew," said poor Bet- tine, in an agony of shame, not at the revelation of her position, (she was too noble for a false pride like that) bat that she should be accused of de- ceit. For a moment there was a silence Mrs. Vinton was fighting, a battle with herself. But at last gratitude for Bet- tine's loving care of both her and Flos- sie through the weary days and nights of sickness (even if she could forget that, but for Bettine, Flossie might have perished in the waves before oth. er' help could reach her) overcame every other thought and she said almost hum- bly ', "Forgive me, dear, I deceived myself I thought you Mrs. Preston's heiress, but I am glad now, very glad you are not. Whatever your position you are a lady ; so I ask you to he my friend; to live here with me always, for Flos. sie and I love you so dearly that we cannot let you go. Stay, won't you, dear Bettina? Help me, Carrol, ask her to stay," and Mrs. Vinton, turning to her brother, who had entered the room just in time to hear her last words hastily told him what had occurred. A kind of dull horror settled on M rs. Vinton’s face as she red, and tu rn- ing on Bettine a look of scorn she cried 2 Day and night, patient, gentle, on tiring. she watched beside mother and child, in every way aiding Dr. Dayre, who, with all his skill, battled for the two lives so dear to him. And each seeing that which was good and noble in the other, in the very presence of death, as it were, a love strong as death itself, but speechless, grew up between these twv, Carrol and Bettine. This love was stronger than the pride that ruled Carrol’s heart ; and yet doubting that, in return, he had now a love so deep and true as that which he seemed to read in Bettine’s eyes, he was silent, till one day there came a revelation which levelled the barrier his pride had raised between him and one whom he believed an heiress. This was a note from Miss Preston, saying that her mother was ill and needed the services of this maid. Tahsing to Bettina, with a face fair- ly radiant, he asked: "Is it true? Are you really poor l" She did not answer , and sEepping forward, he laid his hand on herbowed head, and raising her face to his,lcokad silently and lovingly into her eyes. At first she trembled as she met his glance, but now, as if controlled by a power she did not wish to resist, she let her eyes rest full on his face and with a look of love and trust. Then he whispered : "Stay as my wife, Bettina” And she answered softly : "I will stay." So Bettine went: For an hour or two she thought. But Flossie had hit her head against a stone in falling, and the blow together with the fright brought on an attack of brain fever which for days threatened her life. Mrs. Vinton, too, fell ill from anxiety; and Bettine wrote to Mrs. Preston beg- ging permission to stay where she was solsorely needed. "Go, my dear," said Mrs. Preston, to whom Bettina showed the note. "Go, and stay as long as thy need you." - Before an hour had passed, there came an anxious little note frcm Mrs. Vinton saying that Flossie was in a. high fever, and kept calling for the 'pretty lady' to come and help her Would not Bettine come at once. "Certainly," answered Bettine, sim- ply; wondering why the thought of seeing this handsome stranger again should make her heart throb so strange- ly. 7‘May I call this afternoon to assure myself that you have suffered no harm. As they parted at We dad, of the cottage where Mrs. Preston was board. ing,9rrol said . "There is nothing to forgive," said Bettine, with n. lovely smile. Her heart was brimful of the joy which the doing of 'a noble deed always brings, and no word of thanks or praise was needed to add to that pure joy. Before he had finished speaking, Mrs. Vinton, forgetting her child's de, lirerer in her anxiety for the child, without one word of thanks to her who had, perhaps, saved her darling from death, hurried up to her cottage, Carroll, face flushed with shame. “I beg you to forgive my sister," he said to Eettuse, "Believe me, she is not; ungrateful ; but Flossie is her only child, and hearing what I said about cold, she hastened home, fearing a new danger to her little one." An Irishman was working on a new . "It was fortunate that Flossie took her bath in that little cove beyond just beyond reach of the breakers," said Dr. Dayre. "Bat, Lou, this young lady should be taken home at once to change her dress, or a cold may be the consequence." "There was not anyhreal dangnr,” Bettina said, assuringly, to Mrs. Vin- ton, who took Flossie'sin her arms and was soothing her frightened sobs with kisses. Then, without a moment',, hesitation. Bettina ran down the sands, and out into the waves, and grasping Flossie's arm, lifted her up and bore here in safe- ty to the helpless mother, just as Dr. Dayre came hastening tip to them, one Better Tlum Two, Waterloo County Chronicle He described the creature as being as large as a post trader's store, with great shining yellowish-white tusks and a mouth large enough to swallow a man at a single gulp He further says that the animal is undoubtedly of the same species, as these whose bones and tusks lie all over that section of the country. The fact that other hunters have told of seeing these monsters browsing on herbs up along the river gives a certain probability to the story.

Alaska Indians positively assert that within the last five years they have fre. quently seen animals which, from the description given, must be mastodons. Last spring, while out hunting, One of these {ndians came a‘cross a series of large tracks, each the size of the bot- tom of a salt barrel sunk deep in the moss. He followed the curious trail for some miles, finally coming out in full view of his game. As a class these Indians are the bravest hunters, but the proportions of this new species of game filled the hunter with terror, and he took to swift and immediate flight.
