HIS Happy Thought,
The drawing teacher had been giving a
leeson on the cubes, and mime of the pupils
had mentioned boxes and various other ex-
amples of eubes. The teacher wanted still
more ; but, for some reason, no one could
think of any. Finally a boy said ! I know

ried.
"No, no my dear friend. They are a
itttle exuberant at having broken the
rammels of custom. That is all."
"You cannot think what I have had to

ul experience. Last night, after I had
xtanguished the candle in my bedroom,. I
laced my foot upon something smooth

Mrs. Westmaoott dropped him a little
ourtesy. "Thaiik you sire" said she,
"That is a nice little side hit at my poor
liza."
"1 give you my word that I had forgot -

For a moment the conspireoy WAS on
the poine of collapsing. There WAS
something in the gentleness:* of his re -

another instant she wouldthave been kneel-

a short grey skirt, like that of Mrs. West-

and danced, about among the furniture.
"1 feel quite the Gaiety girl 1" oho cried.
"How delicious it mat be to be upon the
stage ! You can't think how nice We

isn't Clara churning ?"
"Go to your room this instant and take

" Peps I Improper I Why, it is the

" I say it is improper, And yours alEso,

made suoh an alteration in your conduct."
We seized his hat, Plain/nod the dining -
room door, and a few minutes later
they heard tlie orash of the big front
gate.
"Victory Clara. victory 1" cried Ida
still-nairouetting around the furniture.
"Did you hear what he said? Petnicious
influences ? Don't youeunderstand, Clara?
Why do you sit there no pale and glum?
Why don't you get up and dance ?"
"011, I shall be so glad when it is over,
Ida. I do hate to give him pain. Surely
he has learned now that it is very unpleas-
ant to apend one's life with reformers."
" He has almost learned it, Clara. Just
one more little lesson. We must not risk
all at this last moment."
"What would you do, Ida? Oh, don't
do anything too dreadful! I feel that we
have gone too far already."
"Oh, all will come right," „said the
widow, reassuringly.
"And Clara is as bad -Clara who used
o be so good and sweet -the very image
f her poor mother. She insists upon
hie preposterous scheme et being a
pilot, and will talk of nothing but re-
volving lights and hidden rooks and
odes of signals, and non -sense of the
kind."
"Bat why preposterous ?" asked Ms
ompanion. " What nobler occupation
an there be than that of stimulating
commerce and aiding the mariner to steer
safely into port?.I should think your
aughter admirably adapted for.. suoh
duties."
"Then I must beg to.differ from you,
madame."
"Stilt, you are inconsistent."
"Excuse me madam. I do not see the
atter in the same light. And I should
e obliged to you if you would use your
tifluenoe with my daughter to dissuade
er."
" You wish to make me inconsietent,
too ?"
" Then you refuse?"
"1 am afraid that I cannot interfere."
The doctor was very angry. "Very
well, madam," said he. " that calm I
clan only say that 1 have the honor to wish
you a very good -morning." He raised his
bread straw hat and strode away up the
gcavel path, while the widow looked after
him with twinkling eyee. She was sur-
prieed herself to find that she liked the
doctor better the more masculine and ag-
gressive he beeame. It was unreasonable,
and against ell principle, and yet 80 it was,
and no argument could end the matter,
Very hot and angry, the dootor retired
into hie room and eat down to read his
paper. -- Ida had retired, and the dis•
tent wails of the bugle showed that
she was upstairs in her boadoir. Clara
sat oppoeite to him with her exasper-
ating charts and her blue book. The
doctor glanced. at her, mid his eyes
remained fixed in astonishment upon the
front of her skirt.
"My deer Clara," he cried, "you have
torn your skirt,"
Its daughter laughed and smoothed out
her frock. To his horror he saw the red
plush of the *Their where the dreas ought
to have been. "It is all torn I" he cried.
"Whet have you done ?"
"My dear papa," 'said she, "what do
you know about the mysteries of ladies'
dress? This is a divided eltirt."
Theta he saw that it wee indeed so ar.
ranged, and that his daughter was clad in
a sort of loose, extremely long !wicker -
bookers. •
"It will be to cionvenient for my sea.

Her father shook hie head sadly. "Your,
" Oh, we can no it very nicely. You
see, we are both engaged, and that
makes it very easy. Harold will
do what you ask him, espeoially as you
have told him the reason why, and my
Charles will do if without even wanting to
know the reason. Now you know
what Mrs. Westrifecott thinks about the
reserve of young ladies. Mere prudery
affectation, and a retie of the dark ages of
of zeanna. Those were her words were
they not 1"
"What then ?"
"Well, now we must put it in practice.
We are reducing all her other views to
practice, and we niust not shirk this one,'
"But what would you do? Oh, do't
look so wicked, Ida I You look like some
evil little fairy, with your golden hair and
dancing nuschlevioue eyes. I know that
you are going to propoae something dread-
ful."
"We must give a little supper to -night."
"We ? A tapper ?"
“Why nob? Young gentlemen give
suppers. Why not young ladies ?"
"But whom shall we invite ?"
- "Why, Harold and Charles of course."
"And the Admiral and Mrs. Hay Den-
ver ?"
"Oh, no; that would be very old fashion.
ed. We must keep up with the times
Clara."
"But what can we give them for supper ?"
"Oh.something with a nice,fast,rollicking
late -at -night kind of flavor to it. Let me
see I Champagne, of course, and oysters.
Oysters will do. In the novels all the
naughty people take champagne and
oysters. Besides they won't need any
cooking. How is your pookee money,
Clara ?"
"I have three pounds."
"And I have one. Four pounds. I
have no idea how much champagne costs.
Have you ?"
"Not the slightest."
"How many oysters does a man eat ?"
31 I can't imagine."
"1'n write and ask Charters. No, I won't.
I'll ask Jane. Ring for her, Clara. She
has been a cook, and is sure to know."
Jane, on being orosiequestioned, refused
to commit herself, beyond the statement
that it depended upon the gentleman, and
also upon the oysters. The united experi-
ence of the kitchen however, testified that
three dozen was a lair provision.
"Then we shall have eight dozen alto-
gether," said Ida, jotting down all her
requirements upon a sheet of paper. "And
Iwo pints of champagne. And some brown
bread, and vinegar, and pepper. That'a
all, I think. It is not ao very difficult to
give a supper after all, is it, Clara ?"
"I don't like it, Ida. It seemo to me to
be so very indelicate."
"But it is needed to clinch the mat-
ter. No, there is no drawing back
now, Clara, or we shall ruin everything.
Papa is sure to comeback by the 9:45.
He will reach the door at ten. We must
have everything ready for him. Now
just sit down at once, and ask Harold to
come at nine o'clock, and I shall do the
same to Charles."
The two invitations were dispatched,
received and accepted. Harold was
already a confidant, and he understand
that this was some further development
of the plot. As to Charles, he was so
accustomed to feminine eccentricity, in the
person of his aunt, that, the only thing
which could surprime him would be a rigid
observance of etiquette. At nine o'clock
they entered the dinieg-room of number
two, to find the master of the house absent,
a red -shaded lamp, a snowy cloth, a pleas-
ant little feast, and the two whom they
would have chosen, as their companions.
A merrier party never met, and the house
rang with their laughter and their chatter,
"It is .three minutes to ten," cried
Clara, suddenly, glancing at the clock.
"Good gracious 1 So it is I Now for

pagne bottles obtrusively forward in the
direction of the 'door, and eoattered oyster
shells over the cloth,

"My pipe I Yea."
"Then please smoke it. Now don't argue
about it, but do it, for you will ruin the
effeot otherwise."
The men drew out a red °age, and ex -
treated a great yellow meereohaum, out of
which a moment later, he was puffing thick
wreaths of smoke. Herold had lighted a
algae, and both the girls had cigarettes.
"That looks very Mee and emancipaited,"
said Ida, glemoing round. "Now I Anil

in her high, fresh Yoh*, e littleenetch from

The dootor had walked home from the
station in a peaceable and relenting frame
of mind, feeling that,. perhaps, he had said
too muoli in the morning, that his daughters
bed tor years been models in every wev,
and that, if there had been any ohauge of
late, le was, as they said themselves, on
eccourit of their anxiety to follow his advice
and to imitate Mrs. Westmecott. He
could see olearly enough now that that
advice was unwise and that a world
peopled with Mrs, Wes finacott's woald not
be a happy or a soothing one, It was be
WI10 was hirapelf to blame, and he was
grieved by the thought that perhaps his
hoe words'had troubled and saddened his
two girls.
This fear, however, was soon disaipated.
As he entered hie hall he heard the voice
of lda uplifted in a rolliojeing ditty, and a
very strong smell of tobacco was borne to
his nostrils. He threw (men the dining -
room door and stood aghast at the scene
whieh met his eyes.
The room was full of the blue wreaths
of smoke, and the lamp -light shone through
the thin haze upon gold -topped bottles,
plates, napkins and e litter a oyster shells
and oigarettee. Ide flualied and excited,
WaS reclining upon the settee, a wine -glass
at her elbow, and a eigarette between her
fingers, while Charles Weatmaoott sat
beside her, with his arm thrown over the
head of the sofa, with the suggestion of a
caress,
On the other side of the room Clara was
lounging in an arm-ohair, 'with Harold
beside her, both amoging, and both with
wine -glasses beside them. The doctor
stood speechless in the doorway, staring
at the Bacohanalian scene,
" Come in, pupa I Do I" cried Ida. Won't
you have a glass of champagne ?"
"Pray excuse me, " maid her tether,
coldly. "1 feel thatI am intruding. I
did not know that you were entertaining.
Perhaps you will kindly let me know
when you have finished, You will find me in
my study." He ignored the two young men
completely,ancl, closing the door, retired,
deeply hurt and mortified, to his room.
A quarter of an hour afterwards he heard
the door slam, and Ms two daughters came
to 8.11110U1180 that the guests we -e tone.
" Gueets, ! Whose guests," he cried,
angrily. "What is the meaning of this
exhibition?"
"We have been giving a little supper
peps. They were our guests."
"Oh, indeed 3" The doctor laughed
sarcastically. "You think it right, then,
to entertain young bachelors late at night,
to smoke and drink with them, to -Oh,
that I should ever have lived to blush for
my own daughters ! I thank God that your
clear mother never saw the day I"
"Dearest papa 1" oried Clara, throwing
her arms about him. "Do not be angry
with us. If you understood all you would
see that there is no harm in it.
"No harm, miss! Who is the best judge
of this?"
" Mrs. Westmaoott," siggested Ida,
slyly,
The -doctor sprang from his chair. "Con-
found Mrs. Westmacott 1" he cried, strik-
ing frenziedly into the air with his hands.
"Am I to hear of nothing but this woman?
Is she to confront me at every turn?
will endure it no longer I"
"But it was your wish papa."
"Then I will tell you now what my
second and wiser wish is, and We shall see
if you will obey it as you have the first."
"Of course we will, papa."
"Then my wish is that you should for-
geb those odious notions which you have
imbibed, that you should dress and act as
you used to do betore ever you saw this
woman and that, in future, you confine
sivair intercourse with her to such civilities
as are necessary between neighbors."
"We are to give tin Mrs. Weatmacott 3"
"Or give up me." - •
"Oh, dear, dad ! how can you say any-
thing so cruel ?" cried Ida, burrowing her
towsy golden hair into her father's shirt
front, while Clara pressed her cheek against
Ms whisker. "Of course we shall give her
up, if you prefer it."
"Of course we shall, papa."
The doctor patted the two caressing
heads. "These are my own, two girls
again !" he cried. "It has been my fault
as much as yours. I have been astray, and
you have followed me in my error. :Et was
only by seeing your mistake that I have
become conscious of ray own. Let us set
it aside, and neither say nor think anything
more about it."
"Five thousand 1" exclaimed the Admiral,
reekoning it in his own mind,
"Lemtne see 1 That's twentpare pounds

that he bee it partner,"
"Yes • my boy ie the junior partner.
Pearson Is the senior, I was introdund to
him years ago, and he offered Harold the
opening, Of course we had a pretty atiff
premium to pay."
Mrs. Wastrnacott harl stopped, and was
standing very atiffly, with her red Indian
itsce even grimmer than usual,
"Pearson?" eaid she, "Jeremiah Pear-
son ?"
"The same."
"Then it's all off P' she cried. "You
need not carry out that investment."
"Very well, ma'am."
They walked on together side by side,she
brooding over aorne thought of her own,and
he a little crossed and diaappointed at her
caprice and the lost commission for Har-
old,
"I tell you what, Admiral," she exclaim-
ed, suddenly. "11.1 were you I should get
your boy out of this 'partnership."
"But why, madam ?"
"Because he ia tied to one of the deepest,
slyest foxes in the whole oity of London."
"Jeremiah Pearson, ? What can
you know of hiro ? Ile bears a good name."
"No one in thio world knows Jeremiah
Pearson as I know him, Admiral. I warn
you becatiee I have a friendly feeling both
for you and for your son. The man is a
rogue, and you had better avoid him."
"But these are only words, ma'am. Do
you tell me that you know him better than
the brokers and jobbdrs in the city 3"
"Man," cried Mrs. West:nacott, " will
you allow that I know him when I tell
you that my maiden name was Ada
Pearson'and that Jeremiah is my only
brother ?"
The Admiral whistled. "Whew!" cried
he. "Now that I think of it, there is a
likeness."

MIRACLE OF THE WOODEN SWORD.
---
Frederick the Great Was outwitted by It
and It Saved a Soldier's Lite.
Frederick the Great used sometimes to
visit his soldiers incognito that he might
better know how they conductedthemselves.
On one of these occeetions he came across
a soldier who had been drinking more than
waa good for him. He talked with hint
and they became very friendly. At last
he said :
"How do you get money to spend on
drink? I get the same pay that you do,
but I don't feel able to buy liquor with it.
Tell me how you manage to get enough td
have such a good time with."
"You seem to be a good-natured (Map,"
said the soldier, "and I don't see why I
shouldn't tell yon. Now,to-day I am going
to entertain an old friend. As 3. ou say, it
isn't possible to do this on the pay we get.
SoI raise a little money on the outside."
"But how ?" persisted the Emperor.
"Why, I pawn some things that I can
do without for a few days," replied the
other. "Then I live pretty close for a few
days and save enough to redeem them with.
To -day when I wanted to be nice to this
olcl friend, I pawned the Made of my
sword. We won't be reviewed for some
clays and I will get it back before there
will be any chance to discover that 1 have
parted with it."
Frederick expressed. Ms admiration at
the clever economy of the soldier and soon
after left him. The following day the
troops received an unexpected order to
present themselves for a dress parade. The
Emperor discovering the soldier of the day
before, made him leave the ranks with the
soldier who was at his right Then he
commanded him to divest the other of his
uniform, and when he had done this he said
to the soldier whom he wanted to catch :
"Now draw your sword and cut off the
head of this wretch 1"
The soldier entreated Frederick not to
enforce such a command, saying that be
would make his own life intolerable if he
were to kill a worthy man with whom he
had. served for over fteen years. The
Emperor remained inflexible to all hie en-
treaties and protestations. Finally when
the soldier saw that he would have to
draw his sword he exclaimed:
"Well, sire, since I cannot induce yon
to release me from this painful order I will
pray God to work a miracle for me and to
change my sword into wood."
He said this with an air of the deepest
piety and then manifested the utmost joy
as he drew his sword and eaw that it was,
in truth, wood and not steel. Hie prayer
had been heard. Frederick wee so amazed
by this clever way of getting out of the
trap that he had laid for him that be par-
doned him for his offense and presented
him with a purse of gold.
On one occasion Frederick the Great was
visiting the extreme outposts of his army.
hile making his rounds he perceived a
soldier slip past the line the sentinel was
guarding. His Majesty brought him to
halt and asked him where he Was going.
"Well, to tell the truth," said the eoldier
with an air of despair, "your Majesty has
been Po unlucky in your enterprises that I
was going to desert.'
"Right," said the Emperor. "But wait
a week longer before you do it. If fortune
isn't any better to me in that time I'll
desert with you."

So, by the cleverness of two girls a dark
cloud was thinned away and turned into
sunshine. Over one of them, alas, another
cloud was gathering, which could not be
so easily dispersed. Of these three house-
holds which fate had thrown together, two
had already been united by ties of
love. It was destined, however, that a
bond of another sort should connect the
Westmacotte with the Hay Denvere.
Between the Admiral and the widow a
very cordial feeling had existed since the
day when the old seaman had hauled down
his flag and changed hie opinions, granting
to the yachtswoman all that he had refined

in his neighbor, end a friendship sprang up
between them which was more like that
which exists between two men rounded
upon esteem arid a community of tastes.
"By the way, Admiral," said Mrs.
Westrnacott one morning as they walked
together down to the station, "1 under-
stand that this boy of yours hi the intervals
of paying his devotion to Miss Walker is
doing something upon 'Change."
"Yes, ma'am ; and there is no man of
his age who is doing so well. He's drawing
ahead, 1 can tell you; ma'am. Some or
those that started with him are hull down
astern now. He touched his five hundred
last year, and before he's thirty he'll be
making the four figures."
"The reason I asked Is that I have email
investments to make myself from timo to

should be very glad to do it through your
