TONY'S SACRIFICE.
A DEAL IN OIL LANDS THAT PROVED
DIASTROUS.
BY NIARGUERITE STABLER.
' I
Lambert, of the Original Oil oligarchy,
tucked his telegram into his breast pooket
with a loving little pat. This was the
moment hotted been working and living for
all these months. " Veterinary daffodil
jinks," it read, and, translated by hie pri-
vete cipher oode, it meant he was to go
ahead, buy the whole tract and draw on the
company for the first payment.
The burning August sun beat relentlessly
upon his unaccustomed head, bin collar took
on the hue of the road, hie face was blister-
ed and his eyeballs scorched by the heat,
but so absorbed was be in the schemes that
unrolled themselves -before him that he for-
got to fume because of his discomfort. He
chuckled gleefully to himself notwithetand-
ing the act involved , the breathing of a
mouthful of Kern county dust, for this was
the climax he had almost despaired of
reaohing. Although he had never for a
moment lost faith in the riohnese of thie
little strip of foothill country, the company
had never until now been willing to raise
the money for the first payment and the
erection of the- Works necessary for ite
development, and he had come to realize
that of a- verity "faith withoet works is
dead."
His oomyany was not rich ; Lambert, its
heaviest stoolcholder, was worse than poor,
being heels over head in debt. There were
plenty of people he did not dare to meet be-
cause of overdue notes, several °rube .he
could not go near on account of delinquent
dues and numberless underbred tradesmen
who made his life a burden, But in the
success of this deal he save the end of all his
troubles.
The loungerehround tho little hotel eyed
him curiously as he drove up and followed
at his heels as ho made his way iuto the
office, for such turnout was not often seen
in that part of the country. • Lambert
puehed his way through the crowd without
seeing them and drank champagne to his
risine.fortunes as the um:looted beer trickled
down his dusty throat. The name of John.
son, of the Mammoth Mineral Monopoly,
on the register made him open his eyes a
trifle wider. Of course there was no reason
why Johnson ehoulct not be there if he
chose, but -there was a coolness between the
members of the two companies, especially
between JOhnson and,himself. -
The county records showed the title of
the land to be vested in one Antoniaehlaria
Lopez, so early the nexe morningLembert
started off to find her.- But once out ou the
county roads, in the wastes of brown stUbble
fields, the directione he had received at the
hotel became confined. No one seemed to
know anything definite about the distance,
and it had been variously estimated at from
" 'bout fifteen mile to twenty." After fol.
lowing for several houre a road that seemed
to have no turning he looked abput 'for
some one of whom he might inquire the
way, and the first sign of life that came in
eight was the figure of ts woman- w,alking to-
ward him. But when he was almost near
enough to address her she stopped, drew
her sunbonnet over her eyes, tucked her
skirts into one hand and scaled the four
railed fence as neatly as a boy might have
done. Then, looking over her shouleter to-
ward the dust cloud down the road, she
slipped behind a boulder and waited for the
wheels to peso. As the dust enveloped hex
in a blinding cloud the smart trap was
brought up short with a clanking of chains
and silver mountings.
" Could you tell me whether or not this
is the road to the Lepez place ?" Lambert
asked. • •
The sunbonnet jerked forword in an af-
firmative nod see
• s
Then perhape you will be so good as to
direct me to it," Lembert coneinued.
" Yep," answered the girl. " It's right
here."
A pause followed, while the man in the
cart looked over the gill's head- at the
abomination of desolation epitomized in the
proepeet before him—the tumbled down
fences, the unpainted, half finished house,
the:rickety ousbuildinge—then at the for-
lorn little figure beside the boulder, His
eyes sought hers for further information,
but the bonnet had closed down over her
features like the shell of an oyster.
" Then, perhaps, you are Miss Leprz,"
he ventured to remark, " the heirese of this
estate ?"
"Nope," returned tleS bonnet, " Prn
Tony Lopez.- My folks are dead, and this
here ranch won't be mine till Pm of age ;
that's all."
It was -evident, Lambert. told himself as
he followed the girl to the house, that the
purchase would be an easy matter, for she
ce,taioly had no idea of the value of her
actawny acres. Lambert's reputation was
that he had " wey with women," what,
ever that may mean, but certain it is that
when his grey eyes looked straight out from
their black la.shes the object the rested upon,
provided it was of the feminine gender felt
hersey for the moment the center of the
universe and inany a 'wiser girl than Tony
might tell you so, Perhaps that was the
the reason she etammered and blushed,
'slipping her eliinela on and off at the heel in
einbarrassment, when he said, " Have you
ever thought of selling your property, Miss
Lopez ?"
Miss"Lapez, to hie surprise, he found non-
committal to the last degree. All hie croes
questioning elicitad nothing more': than a
laconic Nope." Then Lambert deliber-
ately trained his 'gray eyes upon her and
smiled down into her little freckled face,
with the result that she told him the whole
Story.
"'Ye gods !" he ejaculated inwardly as
she explained that Johnson, of the Mam-
moth Mineral Monopoly, had made her an
offer at a figure that the Original Oil .oli-
garchy could never touch, much less outbid.
So this was not his own exclusive scheme,
after all ! The new debts he had incurred
on the strength of his prospects arose before
him as he etared blankly at the wall. Johnt;e
80132s company was rich, backed , by sub-
stantial businees men, while his was worse
than poor, its heaviest stockholder a miser4

was only another proof of its value. He
must heve it, he simply had to have it; he
was s.13 ing to himself, vrhile Tony, her
tongue once loosened, bubbled on, telling
hitn thc terms of Johnaon's proposition and
ending by saying he had pledged her to
secrecy as to hie part in it.
Lambert Smoked long and furiously that
night over this new priase cf his difficuleies,
and as the smoke wreathe.grew denser they
evolved the vision of a rosy girl, with laugh-
ing eyes, who had promised to share hia
fortunes, however great they might be.
Tony's little freckled face, he remembered,
always beamed with pleasure from tbe

Tony, with a rich oil well back of her, and
foreign travels, private tutors, Paris gowns,
might in time become like other people, but
here the laughing blue eyes arose through
the smoke to mock him. He drew the dif-
ference between this lovely creature, the
fioished product of care and cultivation, and
little Mexican What's her -name slipping hee
chinelaem and off at the heel as she talked
to him. Still, Tony was a good little thing ;
she waa slim and straight, and if she could
be induced not to tog herself out in such
outlandish colors she might be almost
pretty, he mused. Then he stopped short
and le ughed at himself derisively. What
could it matter to him whether she was
pretty or not ?
Tony was waiting for him the next time
his trap clattered doWn the dusty road.
She had that confiding manner that ie so
flattering to a man who knows the weakness
of his strength. Johnson, she told him,
had raised his offer for the whole tract,
several thousand rocky unproductive acres.
Lambert groaned. He had to have it ; there
was no choice. 'So, with the figure of
Johnson's offer staring him in the face, the
praspect of bankruptcy pursuing him from
behind and the only means of obtaining the
prospective millions walking close -be-
side himablue eyes were forgotten, and he
did it. _s
It was quickly said. Then he kissed her
blushing cheeke, and the coveted land was
his—and Tony. He had discretly refrained
from saying anything more about her pro-
perty after hearing Johnson'e offer, so ehe
did not know he cared anything about it,
arid there was not a doubt as to his sincerity
in, her Pimple little heart,
'Johnson was the first man Lambert, met
when he went back to the hotel, He made
a strained effort to be affable, and Lambert,
who could afford now to be generous, pitied
him for the disappointment in store for
him and tried ta outdo him in forced friend -
Hines. They walked up to the bar like
two old friends, and Lambert proposed a
toast to " succese." Each man drank deep
to himself, eyeing the other commiseratingly
for the shock he was about to receive.
Tony was undeniably a good little thing,
although Lambert regarded her merely as
hie means of escape from insolvency, and
his only feelingfor her was a vague sort of
gratitude. She loved" him- by the abject
devotion she laviehed upon him. Once,
however, it had really touched hins, when
she said :
"For you there is nothing in the world I
would not gladly saerrifice.'
Lambert's success went to his head and
made him long'to throw his arms around
tho neck of the whole world and treat. He
spent money with a princely laviehness, and
Johnson came in for all his share. And
Tony, too, nee happy. She went about
with a suppressed mirthfulness in her eyes,
as if she had a secret source of happiness
nobody but herself knew—which, indeed,
was the case.
And ea they were Merried. The little
bride was decked not in shimmering white,
but i all the gaudy colors her primitive
soul loved—a gorgeous yellow gown with
varie ated fur below and red slippers.
Lamb rt wondered if she would slip them

But nothing could ruffle his sincerity ; he

sweetly :

Dutch House Cleaning.
Every Saturday is house-cleaning day in
Holland. Early in the morning, writes
Mary A. Mirotto, in Scribner's, every stick
of furniture is rubbed and wipped carefully
and taken out of the house. Then the
women, with their skirts tuoked up, entire-
ly flood the tioome with bucket after buck et
of water, brought up from the canal by
means of the shoulder yoke. With broom
and brush they souse and scrub the red -tiled
floor and finally: pull up a plug in one corner
to let the water flow out—let us bope into
the canal.
While the floor is drying a great polish-
ing goes ou in the street. Quaint old brass
lamps and candlesticks, tobacco boxes and
ash trays' huge milk cans—all are burnished
until, like golden mirrors, they reflect the
red-theeked, white -capped faces bent over
theTmhe.
lacquer man is busy on Saturday.
He goes from house to house painting the
bread -trays and honey -cake boxes with de-
signs of gaudy birds and wondrous leaves
and flowers.
The street is in a turmoil until noon,
when order is partially restored and the
scanty mid-day meal pertaken of. In the
afternoon washing is resumed. The ,exter-
lora of the cottages are scrubbed from roof
to pavement, and every trace of mold re-
moved, for in ,this low, wet air. the green
moss gathers qnickly. Then the brick
pavements are drenched and carefully dried,
and I have seen the women slip off their
sabots and tiptoe to their doorways in their
woollen chaussons, so as not to soil the im-
neaoulate sidewalk.
Lastly, toward evening, the entire village
goes to the canal, and --all the sabots are
washed and whitened .with pumicestone,
spotless for the morrow. On Saturday
evening all the pickets of the low back
fences are decorated with nows of dripping
footgear, carefully graduated in size from
the big wooden sabots of the father down to
the tiny sabots of the youngest born.

TOG Kind -Hearted.
There is one young woman_ living at
L'Ause, Michigan, whose benevolent dis-
position received a severe shock last Sun-
day evening. She was at church, and sat
directly behind a well-dressed stranger, with
a ravelling hanging to his collar. Being one
of those generous hearted, whole-souled
girls, who grow up to be motherly old
ladies, a friend to everybody in town, she
thought how glad she would be if some kind-
hearted girl would lo as much for her father
were he to go to church with a ravelling
hanging down his back, so when the audi-
ence rose for the first hymn, she concluded
to pick it off. Carefully raising her -hand
she gave a little twitch, but it was longer
than she supposed, and a foot or more rep -
peered. Setting her teeth, she gave a ter-
rible pull, and about a yard of that horrible
thread hung down his back. This was get-
ting embarrassing, but, determinedo she
gave it another yank, and discovered that
she was unravelling his undershirt. Her
discomfiture was so painful that chloroform
would not have alleviated her sufferinge,
nor a pint of, powder hidden her blushes,
when the man turned with an inquiring
look.to see what was tickling his neck.

The Ups and Downs of Life.
Some 50 or 60 years since there stood in
a picturesque corner of Morayshire, Scot -
'land, a little parish schoolhouse in which
the °silents of the countryside received a
more or lees profound schooling in the three
R's. Not far removed from the school-
house, among clump of scrub trees, nestled
the Free church, from the pulpit of which
the Rev. Alex. McWatt weekly exhorted
his flock to beware of the world's frivolities ;
unnecessary advice, one would say, since
Morayshire half a century ago, knew no
more excitieg diversion than a bit of kirk.
yard goesip.
A SCHOOLBOY BATTLE,
One bright day in the spring three sturdy
lads emerged from the schoolhouse and be-
gan a solemn march towards the outskirts
of the village. Without uttering a word
they passed swiftly down a lane, climbed
the stile where it terminated, and entered a
meadow. Halting by common consent in
a secluded shady corner, two of the lade
carefully,divested themselves of their jack-
ets and began. to pummel one another with
ferocious energy. The third lay on the soft
turf and enjoyed the sanguinary conflict as
only a boy can. The delighted spectator
was Donald Smith ; now they call him Lord
Stratheona. The combatants were Archi.
bald Forbes, afterwards the father of war
correspondents, and Robert Maconachie,
now Grand Trunk watchman at the Gordon
street crossing in Guelph, Ontario.

were three boys who started life on an eival

A MUNICIPAL TREASURER
Makes a Strong Statement in
Favor of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Woaeoseown, Que., Aug. 19, (Special).—
Romain Boulanger, Secretary -Treasurer of
this town, is a etrong upholder of Dodd's
Kidney Pills. He has used them both for
himself and other members of his family,and
he knows whereof he speake. This is what
he says :
I procured six boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pitlinin January last. Of this number I sent
two boxes to my brother, which have given
him perfect satisfaetion.
" As for me I have used a box and a half,
which has given me immediate relief If
Dodd's Kidney Pills always repeat my own
experience, it would be well and prudent
for each family to keep them in the house in
case of sickness.
" I will always -be thankful for the great
service Dodd'e Kidney Pills rendered me."
Kitch by Soldiers.
A M1111 who recently arrived from South
Africa s iye that Kitchener is liked and
trusted by his common soldiers, and tells,
in the Boston Herald, this story, illustrat-
ing his manner with them.
" We were on the march from Elands-
fontein to Stromberg, ancl had been pushing
forward with unusual speed, and Joe Hawk-
ins, who had just dome out of the hospital
after a touch of the fever, had been assigned
by our good old sergeant -major to drive a
cape cart, carrying supplies, in order
spare him as much as possible from the hot
sun. The horses were green and didn't go
well in harness, and, as they came in front
of a farmhouse, nne of them started kicking
and succeeded in breaking the whit -Mitre°.
" Joe at once made a break for the barn
back of the farmhouse, and, spying a new
cape cart, grabbed a wrench and proceeded
to ta.ke off the stihifiletree, when he was ap-
proached by a quiet. stern -looking man in
khaki, whom he did not remember ev'er
having seen before, and who said :
" I'm sorry, my boy, but I have just
commandeered that cart. You will have to
fin:z1, .aNnoottherm.'ucb,,
replied Joe ; findin's
keepin' in this country. I needed a new
whifiletree—I found one and I'm goin' to
keep it,'
" But,'—commenced the man.
" There's no " buts " about it,' said
Joe ; if you want this cart, you've got to
whip me before you get it.'
" Well,' replied the man, perhaps I
could help you repair your cart without
destroying this' one.'
" Joe, who was eaturally a good-natured
chap, consented to this arrangement, and,
after rummsging about for a few minutes,
the man produced a stick which would
answer the purpose fairly well. He held it
in place while Joe tied it firmly, and, seeing
that everything was all right, returned
quietly to the house, after bidding Joe a
pleasant good -day.
" ' Do you know who you were talking
with ?' inquired it young officer, stepping up
to the cart as Joe was preparing to drive
off. That was Lord Kitchener, of Khar-
toum 1'
" And I've been glad all day I didn't
have to lick him,' concluded Joe, as he told
the story in camp that night, heatiuse he's
a pretty good fellow.' "

His Secret Dies With Him.
Reeently James McMenamin, or Hamp-
ton, Virginia, the only successful packer of
crab meatt in the country, died at John
Hopkins hospital at Baltimore, and it is
underetood that the secret of preeerving the
delicate flevor of crabe died with him. Mr.
Menamin was a Yankee, born and raised in
Massachusetts, and wandered down to
Norfo'll in search of empinyrrient. He got
a job will a Mr. Whitehead, a man of
wealth aud enterpriee, finally loaned
bim his money to establish a email crab
cannery et Hempton. D iring the crabbing
season hi, employed a force of colored wo-
men to pick the meat from the shells and
deliver it to him in the cooking room, where
he did all the rest, of the work himpelf, be-
hind looked doors. Not even his sons, who
survive, were admitted to the eecret. After
an hour or two the doors of the kitchen
would be opened, and the contents of the
kitchen would be delivered to the colored
women, who filled the cans and paseed them
on to tinners, by whom they were hermets
ically sealed. From a small start the busi.
nese grew until SleMenamin employed sev-
eral hundred fiehermen and packers, and
although his plant was of insignificant ap-
pearance it covered 8, large area, and was
never big eeough to enable him to supply
the demand. Nor has any one ever been
able to compete with him. Plenty of pee.
pie have tried it, but every one has failed.
There is something peculiar about crab
meat which makes it difficult to preeerve
and thousands of dollars have been wasteti
by imitators of this enterprising Yankee.
It is possible that his sons may know the
process he used. He lefb them a largo for-
tune, made in the business, but his secret
was of greater value than his money.

He Did It.
The helpfulness of good man, when it
comes to assistance in domestic affairs is
apt to be very much like that of the 'Mr.
Barker whose exploit is narrated below :
-His wife had flaked him to hang a picture
she had purchased for the parlor, and he
had said that he would do it in a jiffy.
" You jnet get me the cord and a picture
hook," he said to his wife, " and tell the
servant girl to run down cellar and bring
up the step -ladder and carry it into the
parlor ; and where's those two little screw
thing -ma -jigs that go into the back of the
frame at the sides, to put the cord through ?
Look them up for me ; and I'll need the
gimlet to bore a little hole for the screws.
" Somebody get the gimlet, or maybe I
can drive them in with a hammer.
" I don't know but a chair will be better
than the step•ladder for me to stand on.
Somebody go out into the kitchen and get
me a ohair. I don't want to stand on one
of the parlor chairs.
" Got that cord ? Just measure off &bon.
the right length and fasten it in those little
things at the side.
" There, now, there't your picture all
hung up in good shape, and no fuss about
it. The differeno between us men and
you women is that when we have anything
to do we go right head and- do it, and no
talk about it.'

This is the age of hurry. Every interest

way by which results may be brought more
quickly. Ocean steamers race the seas

reputation of having the, fastest trains.

are in haste to make fortunes and become

energy is essential to success ; and the
brevity of life demands that what hands
find to do shall be done with might.

Beecher's Boyishness.
The following story was evidently not told
to illustrate ministerial dignity ; but as au
amusing anecdote of a great man who loved
children, and shared their fun, it could;
hardly remain untold. -
Dr. E. K. Cressey, of Brooklyn Hills, L,
I., says that one day, when he was a small
boy, his mother left the house, cautioning
him and his brother to be quiet and not
romp while she was gone.
There was a hair -brash with which Mrs-
Cressey was wont to punish violations of
the domestic statutes when any such eta
curred, and the youngsters promised to be
good. Presently Mr. Beecher arrived to
make a call upon the Creases% and founds°.
one to receive him but -demure-looking boys.
A flash of anticipation came into his eyes as
he joyously told his young hosts to prepare
for the romp of their lives.
" But mamma told us we mustn't romp,"
protested the future doctor of philosophy.
" I'll take all the responsibility," replied
the great preacher.
When Mrs. Cressey neared the home en
her return she heard indications of a small
riot Filled vrith indignation at this un-
heard of rishellion in her little republic, she
rushed into the house, with words of rebuke
trembling on her tongue.
At the door she paused petrified. Henry
Ward Beechrr was fhit on his back on the
floor' with a parcel of young Indians amp,
ently dancing a ghost donee on his pros-
trate form and emitting shrill yells. The
spirit of the avenger immediately froze into
silent consternation all the rebels except the
arch insurgent. Climbing to his feet, the
unabashed elergyman said :
" Mrs. Crosses', I promised my trienda
here to take ail the responsibility for this
outbreak, and " (there he reached the, hair-
brush and presented it to her with a Ches.
terfielding bow) 44 I arit ready to take what-
ever is due them. You may begin at once.'
But for once there was an infraction et
the laws in the Cressey household that wale
unpunished. Mr. Beecher went unspankeda
A Raised Cheque Case.
The dispute raised last year between two
Toronto banks over a raised cheque ' drawn
on aud paid by one of them has been settled
by the bank, on which the cheque was
drawn, being condemned to bear the lost.
The cheque was raised by an artful schemer'
from $5 to $500, after being exempted for the
original and smaller sum. . Payment of ilia
cheque was secured from shother bauk than
the one it was drawn upon, and then paid,
by the drawee bank before discovery of tha
fraud. It was claimed that the lou ought
to fall upon the bank which first cashed the
cheque after it was raised from $5 to POO,
and not upon the bank on which the cheque
was drawn, The court finally decided ebet
the bank which cashed the cheque did to in -
the ordinary couree of busittese, and that ite
had no reason to suspect fraud or had anY
special rneans of testing whether the cheque
was bona fide beyond the acceptance mark
of the bank on which it was drawn, thin
mark being universally regard as a guerane
tee of the eneque being good for its fade
value. Were all cheques, after being to ac.-
cepted, required to be tested before being
received on deposit by another blink, the
bueiness of the brinks would be serionelY
obetructed ; in fact, such a rule is impractic-
able. The fraud was sok very' ingenionely
planned and executed that no blame attache*

affair was a misfottune pure and simplei
such as all banks ate liable to -suffer from,
and the judgment tis based on precedents
which imposed tin'? loss, not on the batik
