T is very, very nice , and I am ex- tremel y proud of it , bu t— \ And here little Maggie Denton hesitated. \ It was very n i ce , from the neat little drawing roo m , Bimpiy out eiegant ' y lurnisueu , ri g ht away to the ki tchen , w here every- thing shone again. And Tom had got everything together in ei g hteen months , too , when the luck had changed and his •writing all at once got to be appreciated. But , as M agg ie pu t it , there wa s on e trifling drawback , consistin g of an al- cove in the drawing room which would never—no , never look complete without a p iano. \And a piano you shall have , \ Tom said , looking up heartily from the break- fast bacon. \I had a good slice of luck last week which I never expected. You remember that long love story I wrote three years ago , and which I have sent to pretty wel l every magazine in Lon- don. Well , Ned Hartley advised me to send it to The Woman ' s Companion , where it was accepted. They paid me £35 forit . not quit« a half-a-crowu a page , but it's better than nothing. Don ' t you think I could get a decent inst rum ent for the money ?\ Magg ie smiled p leasantl y. She was extremely foud of music and , being a manag ing little soul , equall y fond of a bargain. It would be far better , she said , sap ientl y, for Tom to keep his eyes open than to go direct to a maker , b y ¦which he mi g ht save at least £10 of his hard-earned money. \There are lots of them advertised every day, \ she observed. \Give me the paper and I will show you what I mean. Now listen to this one. \ EOR SALE — A bar gain; magnificent p iano , by a \ r ell known maker ; upright grand , overstrun g, double check action , Sott pedal , steel frame , full compass , tri- chord thron ghout; the pro o erty of a lady going abroad ; cost £75 but \ a ra w months ago; will sacrifi ce for £35 . App ly \Bee- thoven , 7 ' 191 Gunnersb ury road , Green- thorpe Park , Hampstead , or personall y any day this week . Tom nodded approving l y. An instru - ment costing but a few month s ago up- ward of \three- quarters of a century \ to be disposed of for a third of the amount struck him as the very thin g le desired. It was a little stra nge , thou g h , an outsider woul d have decided , that so valuable a propert y should have gone so long begg ing, or that the lad y going abroad did not get to see the folly of ad- vertisin g regularl y at the rate of £1 per week. \1 tel l you what it is , \ said Tom , \ as Gunnersbury road is close I'll just walk over there after dinner and interview Mrs. 'Beethoven ' personall y. If I like the look of the instrument you can come over afterwards and try it. \ So it was arranged , and Tom retired to his writing den , where for three solid hours the anticipated purchase was for- gotten. There was p lenty of work now for the young writer and journalist , who for the last five years had found it a ter- rible strugg le to keep himself , and find Magg ie , who had until recentl y been out as a governess , with those trifling luxu- ries which even the princel y salary of a governess does not afford. But the tide had turned now , and althoug h Tom ¦would never be a great nov elist or brilliant essay ist , he earned a comfort- able income , which by the end of the year promised to touch close upon four fi gures. It seems a lot of money, but I know more than one of the quiet ones of whom the general public have never heard who are doing quite as well. It is so easy to get a living in literature if yon have the ability and know how to set about it—especiall y know how to set about it , which , perhaps , in the long run is better than ability. But this secret is onl y learnt by much grief and pain and bitter disappointment. So Tom finished his morning ' s work , and , after dining comfortabl y, w i lked over to Gunnersbury road , a p leasant , semi-genteel street , with little houses , all bearing a strong famil y likeness to each other and all striving to look as if they were semi-detached residences and not the occupants of ;i common terrace. No. 195 was , perhaps , a little cleaner and neater than its nei g hbors; the door had been painted within recent memory, there were extremel y white curtains in the windows , and a neat little maid took Tom ' s card after she had ushered him into a tiny drawing-room , the furniture of which struck him as being new and cheap. But tawdry as his su rroundings were , Tom speedily forgot them as the door opened and a lady entered holding Lis card in her hand. •'I presume you come to see me about the piano. \ she said. Tom was a tolerably self-possessed man , hot he felt at a disadvantage now. The speaker was the . prettiest woman he had ever seen in his life. She was young— not more than twenty-two or three , tall , with an elegant fi gure; she had a won- derful mass of red gold hair p iled up ia some bewildering, fascinating fashion ; her features were wonderfully sweet and regular , and her sorrowful blue oyes , half bold , wholly shy, went strai g ht to Tom ' s heart and enslaved him . on i the ¦ pat. Ho was * Terj «casiUT « , -toolin g TOM'S BARGAIN. kind of fellow , and when he noted the black dress and tiny white cap perched upon the golden , wavy hair , Tom felt that he could do anything for her , or die happy in the attempt. \It is of no consequence , \ he stam - mered , unconsciousl y paraphrasing Mr. Toots. \I did come over to see the in- strument , which I thoug ht of purchasing if it—that is \ — \If it is satisfactory, \ the lad y said , with a smile , and concluding the speech Tom deemed it almost heresy to utter. \It is there , as you see. You are , no doubt , a good judge , and in that case the p iano speaks for itself. \ It did , and pretty loudl y, too , as any cennoisseur of the popular form ao f har- moniai torture would have reau W^ osti- fled. It was susp iciously new , t ^^ fe p r- nish was bri g ht and obtrusive. ^ Bere was also some little difficulty in raising the lid , and when Tom did clumsil y run his hand over the keys, even he—i gno- rant of music as he was—felt startled at t he metallic demon he lmd aroused. - \It is a great bargain , \ the lady re- marked , \ and , a s yo u see , almost new. \ Tom did see , and hastened eagerl y to pay a fitting tribute to its youth , which apparently was the onl y virtue it pos- sessed. And yet the soft hearted fel- low , with those pathetic blue eyes turned upon him , could not steel himsel f to pronounce the fiat which his common sense dictated. \I will not decide now , \ he hesitated , man-like. \Yo u see , I am not buy ing for myself , but for a lad y—my sister— and I should like her to sec it first. If there is no objection I will call again to- morrow afternoon. \ \ My—my husband chose that instru- ment , and he was a well known mu- sician , \ the lad y said , almost timidly ; \indeed , did not circumstances compel me , I would not part with it now; but I am not so well off as— \ She turned away abruptly, so sud- denl y that for a moment Tom was con- scious of tin idiotic desire to take her in his anus and comfort her. Yet usually he was a keen hand at reading character , and some inward monitor warned him even now that the pretty, child-like widow was merel y aciing a part. But we are onl y mortal , and Tom knew too well what poverty was not to feel for tilt oth ers v ho suffer hom its bli g hting influence. \I am very sorry—Mrs. Kerr , I think you said?—but I cannot decide now , \ he said , almost humbly. \I will bring my sister to morrow. \ ******* * Magg ie listened with interest to the story of the interview , but , sister like , s h e b y n o m eans liked T o m ' s encomiums concerning the widowed possessor of the instrument chosen by a well known mu- sician. \I declare you are quite in lovo with her , \ she said . half jealousl y. \It would be a romance if you went to buy a p iano and found a wile instead. \ \Natural enoug h , too , \Tom return ed* \Wh y shouldn 't I nrarry? I should not be in the way than when Ned Hartley comes of an evenin g. \ It was Magg ie ' s turn to look confused now. Ned Hartley aforesaid , a g reat chum of Tom ' s , and a dashing young journalist of some repute , ccrtaml y spent a deal of time in Magg ie ' s company, to Tom ' s secret gratification , for Ned was a good fellow , and well able to afford the luxury of a wife. \We will go and see the lad y, \ she said. \I caa ' t trust you alone again. \ Tom assented , although not without certain misg ivings. Being, like most of the craft , of a sentimental , emotional nature he did not care to bring his di- vinity under the cold , practical eye even of his own sister , and as she sat await- ing the arrival of the disconsolate widow , and cooll y criticising the unfortunate p iano , Tom began to scent something like trouble in the future. \My d e ar , the thing is a regular take- in , \ she said , decidedl y. \An y one but you would have known that half those advertisements were mere dodges— \ \Not forgetting that you advised the dod ge to be tried , \ Tom retorted. Any fulther conversation was termi- nated b y the entrance of Mrs. Kerr , who stood in the doorway looking from one to the other. A stray ray of sunshine touched her lovely hair and sweet , pa- thetic face so softl y that even Magg ie , the practical , was fain to admit that Tom ' s extravagances had not been so ex- aggerated after all . \I am sorry to have kept you wait- ing, \ she commenced , \but— \ \It is , \ Magg ie cried , impulsivel y, \ actually it is , dear Marion. \ Dear Marion , thus accosted , smiled redl y, and returned Magg ie ' s warm em- brace. \It is an old school friend of mine , \ the latter said , incoherently. \T om , you have heard me speak of her? What a memory you have , to be sure!. . And to think of you being married , and I never knew it! And a widow also! Let me see. I have not seeu you for four years , since you left Mrs. Grimshaw ' s. You must come and see our house , the dear- est little place in Hampstead , I call it. \ Toin . l poking on , thoug ht that althoug h Mrs. Kerr seemed p leased to see her old friend , she was strangel y ill at \ ease. She parried Magg ie ' s questions both hur- riedly and confusedly ; the strange feel- ing that she was p lay ing a part struck him with a new and uncomfortable force. \You must come and stay with us , and if you are leaving here Tom shall find you a customer for the p iano , \ Magg ie decided , vi gorously. \Anyone , so long as he does not buy it himself. Your late husband must have been sadl y taken in , dear; that showy thing is not worth picking up in the street. \ Tom never quite knew how it came about , but a fortni g ht later Mm. Kerr found herself established at The Laurels for a few days before , as she said , she could finall y dispose ot her furniture and p iano o e i ore going abroad . She seemed very p leased to come , and and yet at the same time strangel y loth; at one t ime she was in the best and bri g htes t of sp irits , at an other the beautiful face looked sad and sorrowful , and occasionall y tearfully also. One evening ' she knocked -timidly at the door of Tom ' s sanctum , and , having taken the seat he offered , looked into his face .and said , in a tearful voice ' . \I have a confession , a shame ful con- fession to make , and it had butter be ¦nado now. : When my parents both died last years I found myself , penniless , friendless and.Witb.6ut a situation. I was ge tU a g d o pii to wfcM I w«| Mr o d - s oed to a tradesmen whoso business it was , I found , to buy cheap p ianos and sell them to unsuspecting customers eager for a bargan. I was a good luro , and I played an important part for two years. \ \I have taken cheap lod g ings in sti- surban London , a p iano has been broug ht in our advertisement inserted in the London daily papers , and—well , yo n can guess the rest. I tried to deceive you. What could I do , as you were a stranger to me then?—but I have suf- fered. I would not have come here unless I had been forced to , and you cannot tell how I have longed for a little rest and quiet. My emp loyer was augry ; but I was equall y de termined , and besides , I half promised to go back again; but I cannot go now. If you can onl y say that you forgive me , remember- ing how hard I was pushed!\ Tom murmured a few • inco herent words and the next thing ha ppened was that his arms were round her , and she was cry ing gentl y on his breast. She made an ineffectual strugg le to free her- self , but the clasp was strong and kind. \That is your p l ace , \ he said , firml y; \ rest there , my darling, \ And with these words ring ing in her e ars s h e strug g led no longer. \I have not finished yet , \ she said , lifting the sweet rosy face to his. \Do you know that I am not even entitled to that name—I am not a widow at all?\ \So much the better. \ Tom said , cheerfull y. \Do you know I half sus- pected that there was som s thing wrong all the time; but althoug h , my darling, I did not buy that very elegant looking p iano , I am inclined to think that after nil I got quite a bargain. \ \A nd , like most bargains dear at any price , \ Marion laug hed happ il y. \You would be dear to me at any price , great or small , \ Tom replied. \Don 't forget , sweetheart , that I am gqing to marry an heiress , and , what is more , a wife who reall y is liked b y her prospective sister-in-law. I am a fortu- nate mau. \ \And 1\ —Marion ' s blue eyes were turned upon him full of trust and te u er- ness— \ and I am more than a fortunate woman. What will Magg ie say ?\ And at that moment Magg ie was ask- ing Ned Lang ley a similar question. 1 BLAINE'S Wk G en. John W. Foster , of Indiana is Secretary of State.

KATY DID. I sent a note to Katy, and was waiting her rep l y; Bat the carrier went his several rounds and always passed ma by. The shades were gathering thicker , and the son bung very low , I was ly ing in the hammock and was swing- ing to and fro; And I asked myself the question , \Did she answer me or nof' And in the leaf y map le > a little insect hid , And declared as thoug h be knew it , '-Katy- did. \ And she did. I finally received it , and I grasped it with a E t arr. Did it contai n an arrow or dagger to my heart? I hastened to my chamber , very nervous , I confess; I tore ' the letter open and beheld the fond address . But I burned to know the answer. Did she tell me \Yes? \ And in the leafy maple a little insect hid. And declared as thou gh he knew it , \Katy- did. \ And she did. —Ja y Kaye , in Overlan d Monthl y. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL. A steel rail- lasts , with average wear , about eighteen year a . The rise in the price of camp hor c;um is due to its extensive use in the manu- facture of smokeless powder. A German has invented nn incandes- cent lamp apparatus for showing the in- terior of boilers while under steam. \Waterproof cellulose paper of one and two colors is being introduced by a German firm for tablecloths , Iioo kbacks , temporary covers for roofs , etc. A new electric heat alarm consists in the emp loyment of a column of mercury, which by its expansion above a certain point comp letes the circuit and rings an alarm. A novelt y in tho way of metal car roof i n g is made of corrugated iron or steel. This gives great stiffness between the car lines. The roof is perfectly water-ti g ht , easil y repaired and cheap and strong. A patent has been issued in Germany for a process of manufacture of a sub- stance to take the p lace of gum-arabic. Wheat bran is the substance trealcd chemically, resulting iu a strongl y ad- hesive mucilage. The Belt Line Tunnel in Baltimore , Md., will soon be equi pped with three electric locomotives , c a pable of develop- ing 1200 horse power each. About two hundred frei g ht and passenger trains will be moved throug h the tunnel a day. A machine for the manufacture of steel and iron p ipes is the inventio n of a Pennsylvania mechanic. A bar ot steel at white heat is fed to tho machine and comes out a perfect piece of p i pe. The size and thickness can be made as de- sired. The vaults of the United States Sub- Treasury in San Francisco , California , are being fitted with wires for protec- tion from thieves. Tbe wires are to be between every two ro ws of bricks , and any attempt to interfere with the cement or bricks will disturb an electric current and sound a warning. To mark steel tools: Warm them sli g htl y and rub tho steel with wax or hard tallow until a film gathers. Then scratch your name on the wax , cutting throug h , to tho steel. Alittle nitricacid poured on tho marking will quickly cat out the letters. Wi pe acid and wax of! with a hot , soft rag, and the letters will be securely etched. A simp le mode of puri f y ing water is to sprinkle a tablespoonful of powdered alum into a hogshead of water , stirring the water at the same time. This will preci p itate all the impurities to the bot- tom after being allowed a few hours to settle , aud will so purif y it that it will bo found to possess nearl y all the fresh- ness aud clearness of the finest spring water. A pailful containing four gal- lons may bo purified in this manner by using no more than a teaspoonful of the alum. Our First Li g hthouse. The first lig hthouse built on this con- tinent was at St. Augustine , Florida. Its chief use was as a look-out , whence the S panish peop le of the town could see vessels approaching from Spain , or get notice of the coming of foes in time to run away. The tower attracted the at- tention of Frmcis Drake as he was sail- in\ 1 along the coast with his fleet of hi g h-pooped ships , on his way home from p illaging the cities of the Spanish Main. So he stopped long enoug h to loot the town and destroy what he could not take a way. In 1880 the ancient structure of Coquina rock , which the United States had adopted for a li g ht- ho u se ^ fell down , but before that hap- pened another one had been constructed. Fire-towers at the entrance to ports were established in the earliest historic times. Bonfires were built on top of them at ni g ht. The most famous li g hthouse of antiquity stood on the islan d of Pharos , o4 tho city of Alexandria , in E gypt. It was ouo of the seven wonders of tho world , and was put up during the rei gn of Ptolemy Philadelp hus. After stand- ing for 1600 years it was destroyed by an earthquake , It is understood to havp been over S QQ feet hig h.. —Boato n Culti- ' i ^ * ^ J P ^- . : ;. ; -: - , - . .i : ' ; ' ^ TV - ..
