A SET OF SAPPEXISESr
"Johan—pretty Mrs, 0.011 Morgsn
stood beside her husband's chak wih.
strenge hesitancy of look and manner—
" could you let me haves linkmen./ r
John Morgan, head book-keeper
theroommission-house of !decoy & Co.,'
bad down his morning *paper with a
stifled sigh.; Hi looked up kindly into
the fair, rose -tinted foe of his young
wife, whose sapphire blue eyes were
bent on him expectantly. Hedid not
reply for a moment, but dtew her down
on his ler., and stroked the curly golden
hair with his elim, white Inge*. She
was a timely, loving, but thoughtless- lit-
tle woman—she was his wife, and he
loved her devotedly—but sometimes,
not often, her vanities jarred his finer
sensibilities.; for Cecil Morgan was not
the woman to meet the went' of a grate,
intellectual num like her husbund,whose
worth, henestz and nobility of thought
Were simply incornpreheneible to her
tendertbut.shallow nature. -
"So you *ant a little money. How
rauch, ecil ?" .
He availed is the dimples bame and.
went in the smooth pink cheeks.
"Oh, ever so much, John."
Cecil's spirits rose as sheearessed her
jewelled fingers, and she laughed in a
childish fashion. "
"Well, out with it. How much? Tell'
rae,"—as-she hesitated. "1 mast hurry
down town, as we are nnusually busy
.0.,
.„ just now." ,
" You are always that when I want
anything," pouted Cecil. '
" Why, you know that lovely set of
sapphires in.-.Ra,by & Co.'s window—"
Mrs. Morgan paused, and her spirits
- fell i, trifle for John's face grew sudden-
ly clouded; "they are just perfect, and
would suit my style—match my eyes,
you know—and they are only two hun-
dred dollars: I want them to wear -with
my White moire at Mrs. Cauel's recep-
tion."
"Indeed 1" was John's comment, as
_ he coughed slightly, and -deliberately
seated his wife on an ottisman at his
. side.
"Ce011"—he rose slowly tohis feet-_,
"I am go to refuse you, but I Cannot
spare thamount of money at present."
"ti they. are just lovely, John,"
ea
li
persisted Mrs. Morgan, with heightened
. color, "and so unique! These settings
are peculiar in design—SO chaste and
delicate, and they are so cheap. Only
two hundred for the complete eat 1".
_ 4' Cecil "—John Morgan looked as if
he was about to tell some very un-
wholesome truths—" what would my•
employers think of my wife -wearing a
two hundred- dollar set of jewelry?
Some of your evening dresses have al-
ready excited comment; but no, one
knew how I had walked to and ;from
the office and denied myselfcigars, and
even the dailypapers,papers, to pay for your
• extravagance.
"Mn extravagance 11" cried Mrs.
Morgan, with a s-nbdued wail,as she put
her handkerchief to her eyes and burst
into childish tears—kweak woman'S best
defense, "Times always the cry --”my
extravegance 1"
"NotCecil," he said, racily, as he
laid his hand on the golden head, "sou
cannot say that I often reproach you
with extravagance. But I am tired of
Iiving on fare only fit for a hermit, and
the everlasting pinching in everything
but dress. You do not need this jewel-
• ry, and it would not be advisable to wear
it, if you had it ; _for men with only mod..
erste salaries must put up withmoderate
luxuries. I will deny you -nothing in
reason, but you cannot have those sap-
phires." ,
There was a ring of unmistakable de-
cision in his voice. - He slowly drew on
his overcoat and gloves, evidently ex-
• pecting some reply from his wife. But
she made none, and sullenly refused to
look 'up as he stooped to kiss•her.
"Don't let us quarrel over such
baubles Cecil," he said gently, at he
etrokedthe silken hair. Life is too
-short to be wasted in foolishbickerings."
Then the door closed on him, and
Mrs. Morgan burst into, 6 peed= of
angry team, for she had set her frivolous
heart on the sapphires, and it was net
-
often the did not obtain her heart's de-
sire. She was a -blonde, of the most at-.
tractive type—very - lovely, with a
Raker -like face, and a graceful Rgure
that she loved to array in costly rai-
ment; Her husband's forced economy,
-was often a, sore trial to her, and was
the cause Of many annoying differences.
Had she *mused one atom of &MASI
judgment she would have seen that their
present style of living taxed her hue
band's salary to the utmost. But she
had been a, spoiled and pretty child, ed-
. nested under fashionable influences, and
when, by ene of those .strange freaks Of
fancy, John Morgen=grave, inatter-ef-
fact John—proposed, Cecil, after the
manner of too many of her sex, married
him'with the expectation that her mar-
ries:1Mo would be one long dream of
satisfied wants; for John was a rising
man, and expected a partnership. in the
- firm. But his wife'e evident love of
display weakened his chances of promo,
tion, and Cecil secretly fretted over, the
aelf-denial and economy her circum-
- stance* forced her to. endure.
"I never wanted anything so bad in
my life," she murmured, as she dried
. her eyes and looked around the break -
fait room,with its -warmth and sunlight,,
tasteful furniture, chute pictures and
Maiming plants in . the hay window,
"and I think John might let me have
them. That hateful Mrs. -Payn will be
- sure to be out- with something odd in
jewels. If I could only eclipse her!
I must have them . somehow; for they
would contrast beautifully with the
anowy-whiteness of niy dress."
She rose with a languid yawn, and in
stepping toward the window, trampled
on some. flat substance. She stooped
down and picked upSoluespooketbook I
"Bless me," she exclaimed,- smiles
dimpling her rosy cheek, "what a lucky
find I wonder what's in it ?" .
She smilingly unclasped it, and a roll
of bank notes fell out, which she count-
ed with swift precision. -
"Two hundred exactly," she ejacu-
lated, "and John said that he could not
_ spare the money. Well, what belongs
to my husband belongs to roe, and I will
have those sapphires I"
She laughed gleefully asshe .walked
ent of the room to dress, for she •-im-
pulsively determined to secure the sgip-
phkes before Jahn would miss'. the
money. Delight lent haste to ,herznim-
ble Angers
,
and before Many minutes
. she was on the skeet hooking so bright
and fresh in her walking suit of Quaker
drab thatmany admiring eYes followed
thegreoeful figure. -
Poor hbedless Cecil never thought of
the oonsequences of her foolish act, al-
ra A
"
...at. • ,vato,
though she expected:John wouldrebuke
her severely for spending the • money;
but slist trusted to his lenienoY and her
OM powers of 'persuasion to soften his
wrath. He had never, as he asdd, re-
fusal/Or anything in reason, and 11 this
was an appareatly useless parches., she
could easily turn the jewels into money,
If the -rainy' day John was tilreie pre-
dicting ever arrived.
. On her return from Raby & Cd4zwith
the jewel casket safely stowed 'Way in
her pocket, she wstbrought to: s.etand-
still by meeting her husband coniingout
of the dining room :with a perturbed
and anxious. countenance. Her fac
.flushed guiltily, for she knew, or. isnag-
,ined she did, the cause of his agitation.
"'Cecil," he said hurriedly, "1 have
lost my pooket book. Did you find it ?"
"Lost your pocket book?" -echoed
Mre. Morgan, feigning great surprise
and evading his question—not WO she
meant to deny finding. it, but the cone.
fession required more moral deems
than she could muster at present.1 . -
"Yea, bit myin
book,"repeat-
ed Mr. 'Morgant n a ttoubled,voice ;
and the money -in it belonged to the
film."
Mrs. Morgan's heart stood stiU
'with
coniternation, and she grew white to thel
-• "John_," she gasped as if spine big
was `choking her, "tell me -how it
was I" ,
"It Was in this way. i Alacrity give
'me two hundred dollars as . I was
leaving the office yesterday evening
:.to Pay a bill we owed Hanby. &
Sons. . But they- were closed -When I
teached-their office, and I brought the
money home with me, intending to Pay,
It as I went down town i`this morning;
but owing to a death lathe 'awl the
store was still closed, and i -never new
I had lost the money until I had reach-
ed ou: own office. - Cecil, are you. sure
it is not in the house ?" •
"I—I am sure I don't knOW.,:tstam-•
mered Cecil, toe overwhelmed with feat
and mortification to think rationally.
Not John's money She felt dazed and
crushed, .and totally unable to confess
her, folly. She dropped into s• hall
chair, looking so weak and ill that John
forgot his own trouble in anxiety for
Cecil. •
- . • -
• "You must not be frightened, wife,"
he said kindly; "it may turnupin the
house. Comethelp me search for it."
, _Cecil rose meohanically, and -followed
litin from room to room, listening in
Mute terror- to his sregrets when the
pocket book could not be found.'1, In-
voluntarily her hand went down in the
pocket of. her dress, and is she 'clutehed
the jewel- case in her cold fingers a dead-
ly faintness almost overcame her,. for,
try as she would, she could not; draw it
forth or force her 'lips to confess .what
to her awakened conioience seemed
nothing less than theft. She knew her
husbands indignation would bedeep,
although not loudly exprested, for dis-
honesty of Any kind was contemptible
in his eyes. Would he excuse it in his
• wife Ah, no And'as the sinful as-
pect of .the affair presented itself to her
mind, her shame and agitation increas-
ed, and she found it, still more difficult
to confess her error. - • .
" strange," commented Mr. Mon
gan, musingly, as after thoroughly
searching the rooms, they paused in the
hall, "I must have dropped it in the
house, . and. it cannot: be found. • Or,
could any one pick my pocket; COB '
A startled expression came into his
eyes, and he hastily examined the in-
side pocket of his overcoat. .
"No," he said With a little laiigh,
"no one could pick that pocket Without
my knowledge.- It 'mist have fallen
out." He looked keenly—without :any
suspicion of the truth,thOw,ever—at the
lovely, downcast face of his wife.
"Cheer up, little wife," he said with af-
fected 'gaiety. I Must go back tte. the
office; but you keep i sharp lookoutfor
the money. It may have got linoeiked
into soma dark corner."- '
" Does—does—" stammered Cecil, -hot
with anxiety, -,„"does the firm know it ?"
"Macray :does. I told him'. before I
left the office.
And John Morgan shut the Arbor With
a bang, an unusual,. roughness for -him,
leaving his wife standing --in the Aim
1404 as if stribken dumb. '
* * * * *
The large roomy office in . the COMM18-
sion house of Macray & Co. was.. blaze
of golden spring sunshine,as John MCI.-
genflushed with his walk through the
crisp morning air, entered it, after his
fruitless eearch. His face worts a _troub-
led -expression as • he went up to *Mr.
Moray, .4; white-haired, benevolent
man. • -
"1 have searched the house effectually.
forthat pocket book, and—" •
"You did not find it; John ?" 'quickly
interrupted Mr. Moray, with a curious
"No -Sir, q did not t and I 'cannot jac-
count for its loss."
" jolui"—Mr. Macray laid his morn-
ing paper across hie knees, reinoved his
-gold eye -glasses and looked up into the
face of hisfaithful book keeper—" I
would never for one moment Idoubt
your word. But did you ask your wife
about' it ?"-
" I did." '
"And she denied 11 knewlodge'l;of
it ?" " • •
"She did not find it "—John Morgan
looked more troubled than ever—"and
we'went over the housetogether." 4
Ah r Mr. Macray..1. tine _old • fees
flushed slightly, and he lowered his
voice, as if fearful of being overhead by
the clerks in the outer office. "Listen
to me _a moment, John. Today is my
daughter Sibyl's twentieth. birthday,
and I went down to Raby & CoAtto buy
her a set of sapphires that have been on
exhibition for a, few days. .They. were
just what I waited for a birthday gift,
and the price was two hundred dollars.
The clerk regretfully informed me they
had beep told to Alri. Morgan, the wife
of my book keeper, buts few moments
before." , -•_•
"Cecil 1'1—John Morgan grasped the
-rail of the desk for support="my *wife!
Where did she get the money ?"
"That is just the -question I -wa.,nt
you to answer—where did she get it ?"
said Mr-. Macray, keenly watching the
trembling foe of the younger men. "1
asked the clerk if they were -paid Lor.
'Yes,' he replied, 'in full ;'and he open-
ed the safe, and showed me; a -roll of
bank notes; and John, nsuph as I regret
to say it, it watthe identical roll I gave
you last evening to pay thet bill at Hen!,
by & Sons. NOW, did your wife find the
pocket book; or was it ever .lost,
John?" • -
- John Morgan dropped totthe floor like
one stricken a heavy blow and a slight
,
•
stream of bloed issued from his pallid york World.

Hp.. . Macray hastily tilephoned
for a • physlofan, and Mrs. Morgan.
" Don'tbe alarmed," Joh* said, faintly.
"1 have not been strong lately, and the
shook was too much for me. • Oh; Cecil, -
Cecil I" ' • !.
Half an hour. toter Mrs. Morgan en-.
tired the office' with a white, scared
We: Her eyes were blinded with tears
and Mr. Macray and the physician were
unnoticed as She harried to her hus-
band's side.. -
"John," she cried in great distress,
"don't let the, 10111 of that Anon.* kill
you. For sI found it and epentit for
that set of sapphires."
She threw the casket into kit lap, and
'John laidhishand against the carved
back ofhischair, his face slowly red-
dening with shame. ..
"Speak to me, John," she robbed,
hysterically, " ru never be. so wicked
'maid; never spend a dollar Without
your consent."
Mr. Macray stepped forward, and
laid his hand on her arm.•
"Don't agitate your husband, Mrs.
Morgan he is faint yet. Settle this
matter in the future." -• •
But .Cecil in deep humility, went
'down on her knees, and laid her face on
her husband's breast, breathing -words
of contrition, that softened and revived
the grieved heart. , • .. • '
Mr. %%horsy, with. agentleness she
could not repel, explained the sin of
over -reaching her husband's salary, and
the folly of useless display; .ending the
matter by takingthe set of sapphires,
and Promisingto, keep the whole matter
a secret. .
And John Morgan' in: the , peaceful
years- that -followed, often bleated the
day he lost his employer's money,' for it
transformed Cecil into a marvel Of pru-
dence. And Cecil—well—Cecil never
saw a sapphire, without a midden sensa-

An English:Dude in Trouble.
He was Sheavy swell from London,
stopping at the St. Denis Hotel, 'and he
was standing at the corner of Fourteenth
street and Fifth -avenue, waiting for the
parade, when he saw a well-dressed
woman with a baby helplessly Struggl-
ing 10 the den se crowd that packed the
sidewalk. -Politely lifting his hit, the
dignified Britisher said, according to the
New York World; ,
"Madam, that child will be crushed.
Where do you want to go ?"
"0, sir," said the perspiring mother
with an appealing look, "I AM trying to
get into Sixth avenue." • . • -
' "All right, I will -help you, as I want
to get to the Elevated station," was the
reply. "Let meIske the baby."
The child was transferred to the arms
of the sturdy English dude, who pushed
his way though the crowd and in a few
minutes had reached the middle of the
avenue. Looking round for the in:other,
she was nowhere to be seen, and the
.Englishman started for the place Where
he had left her. He was stopped f by; a -
policeman,. who refused to: him pees
and said he would have to "go the other
way."

• "Will you please take the baby,l then;
its mother is lost ?" • •
"New, 'young feller, you can't give me
any story like that," was the reply..
Just at this moment the infant set up
a loud houl) its tears running down the
neckof iteproteetor as it hung about his
shoulders, -end the. crowd' at ithe , same
time awoke to an antedated view of the
scene. There Were cries of "FlioTiMinie,
get on to his jags wid de' kid I"' 'Why
don't he marry the girl?", and "It
doesn't like its daddy I" A thoesind
people- by this -time were laughing at
the Thiglishman, who stood helpless and
uncomfortable in - the -.middle of , the
street, looking aboutas if for someplace
to throw the child, when It policemen
asked him to give an amount of himself,
and how he came into possession' of the
-squalling infant. Finally the mother
struggled to the scene, grabbed the child
and,stapping for & moment to amoeba
new acquaintance of trying to Steal it,
rushed off.
A Mule That Would Noid

old termer as he leaned back With a
chuckle, "but I've had. two or three
