Mandy, it kinder seems as if we'd
.. ought to go to this here charity balL We
don't *ant to be etingy with our money
now We've got lit, and besides, I ve got
a hankering to go,"
° "Nathan Skinner, be you in your
senses?" asked his wife.
"Mandy, that's just where I be.
Whet's to hender ?" a -
•• "Well, we're& pretty couple to think
of going to a bill. Hovr old was you
, your/ast birthday ?" ,
"Mandy, you needn't be throwing it
up to &Idler that he's getting on to the
. shady side of life. I'm willing to admit
' that I- ain't quite sp young as 1, WAS
-once, but you atii to old as I he.. It's
on youtaccount I was thinking of IV
' "Well, NAthAlif don't think of it any
more.. It's foolish."
Nathan deptvery poorly that night.
He was- thinking of the balL Peer,
foolish fellow, he wanted Mandy to have
one mote 'thence to shine. - He said to
himself: "-Why, they couldn't none of
the girls compete with her:, I'd like to
knotr what's been the goodof our cont.
ing to town if We ain't a-goin inter ses-
slaty. I've alleris wanted to movela the
- best circles and when there's a chance to
git acquainted twith the Hallams and
McDonalds and all the rest, what must
Mandy do but turn stubborn."
Het had set biii heart on going and he
cordcrnot bear t� give it up.
At breakfast t e next morning while
Mandy baked riddles' full of crisp,
brown cakes, and Nathan heroically de-
voured themes they floated in richam-
• ber syrup, he spoke: - "hfaildv, I've been
, f
thinking it's ourOuty to go.'• :
"To go to what, Nathan?" said Mtg.
Skinner, absentlY. She : was thinking
she must - get something to tempt
Nathan's appetite. "He never stopped
off withfourgriddles full when we was
up home. It mud be the air ain't quite
so good here in the city," she thought.
t Why,the charity ball," saidNathan,
• impatiently inter upting her reverie; ,
60, yes," ens ered Mrs. Skinner, re-
calling herself; "I remember you did
speak of it," "Speak of it? I say we
must go! 'He that giveth to the poor
- lendeth td -the Lord,' you know.. Our
money May be taken away from.us if We
don't use it right'? ,
"Well, I can't' help it. - I'd like to
. help some of there awful poor folks, but
I can't go to that bill, and Nathan, I
. wouldn't quote Bible tb git me to go."
"You've got to,•Mandy. I've set my
boot down that we'll go, and I won't be
dieputed.'_
If twere to to tell you that Mandy
never intended in the least to go; you,
-would wonder why she meekly answer- _
ed: "Very well, Nathan if you're so
set on goin , I suppose well - go."
Mandy was a *tile woman, and she
had not lived with, Nathan Skinner , all
-these years without learning to let Mai
have hisownway, apparently. • .
"Good. Now, Mandy, that sounds
right. You knowyou'll have to have
a new dress and some other fixin's."
"Nathan Skinner, you're extrava-
-_____ gent. -Such thing* is sinful. I shall
- Just wear mrblack silk." '
"No you won't do no such thing. .I
ain't been & reading /the papers lately
for nothing. If you'd noticed you'd a
seen me studying them new fashions.
What was I lookio' fer, a new gown fer
z -
my Mandy." .
Nathan leaned beck in his chair, shut
Ms eyes- and said, meditatively: " I -
see ye a-standins on that ball -room floor,
a-wavin" a ostrich feather fan, yer back
hair put upon the top of yer lead, yer
front hair out rather short and wavy
- like,. and,* dress—let's se?, whatll yer
dress be? 1 think a party _red vel-
vet, and you'll wear gloves, Mandy, long
ones, to reach plain to your shoulder.'
----- He opened his eyes and said, briskly:
"I'll go with you and help you git
things; you see I know yer taste • is
pretty.sober and I ain't a-goin' to have
you look glum. We'll have to git at it.
to -day, Mandy. - After you ,:git the
dishes done op, well go down and -see
' what we can find."
That day they were seen to enter
every ° dry, good's store-. in the city.
Nathan invariably took the lead.
-" Trot down yer best velvet," .he
would say, ". I don't care how much it
costs." `-
The shade of velvet which he wanted.
was not to be found.had an exag-
IV
gerated notion in his mind, gleaned
from some very flashy slosh as to the
wonderful richness which velvet might
possess. A disappointed couple they
started home that night. - .-
_
•
"Lets give it up% Nathan." ..
"Well, I rather think I won't. They
keep more variety in them big stores
down to New York, don't they? I'm
a-goin' to send there," 1 .
He composed a letter hi -ginning
"Dear Sirs, and then there was along
pause. The letter .wheti finished did
• not satisfy him, but he described the
thing he wanted as nearly as he could,.
Then he -enclosed *liberal check and di-
rected it to one of the prominent New
York houses;
"We kin git yer other fixinis here, I
, s'poess," he said. -
• The next night after supper, with an
artfulness ., worthy of a diplomat,
Nathan began to talk of "old times."
Times. When they had danced together.
When he thought he had cautiously led
up tothe subject, he said: "Mandy, I
was a preotisin" a little upstaire, and I
find I've kinder forgotten hew some of
them steps goes.' It won't do no hurt to
try ism a little. —Come on, Mandy; I.
shan't dance myself, but I 'avant you to
practise a little, so. you'll be good and
limber:"
Nathan held out his hand and Mandy
-took it. Nathan's movements, although
rather etiff and awkward, showed his
exceeding enjoyetent as he whistled the
oM tunes, calling. off between, "prom-
enade all," "join betide," "sachet to
partners," "al -e -man hot?" - .
Mandy's dancing was something
pleasant to see. Her plump; pretty fig-
ure, With he lines of youthful -grace
still in it, showed to great advantage as
she took the steps with Nathan, proving
she had not forgotten. .
- The dress came. Nathan was a little
disappointed, but Mandy was pleased,
and almost wished she could go to the
ball. • •
Nathan, having ideas of his own on
the subject, they searched the whole
city over before they found the right
person to undertake the making
of the dress. -Then Nathan said
to her: "Novt, I want it to fit'ainazin'.
You can cut it alittle low, for Maudy's
got such a pretty nook. Make it itylish.
Money -don't need to hender."
--
He stopped every day to see how the
moldhg proirelesid.' Juit font days be.
fore the ball the dress came ',home in a
large box. , Mandy -was looking' at it
and wondering if shetshould not wait
and letNathan open it, when city sins
bulance drove up to Ilhe house, and u
Mandy trUlt an agonized face opened
the door, theylmought Nathan intoher.
"Q, Nathan! what's the matter ?" she
Ileg, 'they say. Oh, Mandy, pet afraid cried‘tiwellheolinsithepikecenewofhiecewaundngtrc•kkeillaned3;
you can't go to the ball," and he giiian-
ed. - -
"Do you suppose I care for that when
You're hurt ?" said Mandy. ',; . • - -
When the doctors had set the leg and
told him it meant three months in bed,
and When he felt a little easier, they
talked it all over. -
"I'M 'lorry on your account, Mandy,
1.dicrso want you to go, but you've
never been very much sot on it I guess
you was right We ain't just the ones
to go. I see it now, but I thought you
would enjoy it." .
"I never meant to go. -I knew -we'd
be made fan of, but thadress did al -
moat tempt me.. I hadn't got . the -box
opened when you was brought in. /
. wouldn't care, but it was . awful foolish
of you. Nathan, to get it; I wonder
that I 14 you." a -
a" You couldn't help yourself, Mandy,
and I ain't sorry, but I did want that
dress to go to the ball." . - I •
Later, Bath Browntheir pretty
young peighbor, cameint:lett awhile.
Ruth's. family was not rich, but they
moved' in the best society. ' Ruth . had
been much pleased • with the Skin-
ners. Their domestic life interested -
'her. She liked to watch them ' together.
She talked on and on, ot a reception,
a -concert and the . latest news of the .
charity,ball.-:, °
"1 wait so td go.. Frank. Mitchell
asked me to. g I ought. to have told him
no, but I hoped there would , be some
way out, and t have even been wicked
enough to pray for something to wear,
Mamma and I have looked over every
single article of clothing we possess,
and there is positivelynothing left!
Frank is coming -Up to -night, and I will
have to tell him I can't go because; I
have nothing to we ar," and. poor little
Ruth buret into tears.,
"I'm provoked at myself *fee telling
mytroublei here when you • have . so
mil& to bear, but I- did so want to go,"
the sobs subsiding.
.1" Nathan," said Mrs. Skinner, laying
down her knitting, "don't you think
Ruth and eteti abopt the same sits?
Just :wait a moment," -and. Moody • left.
theroom. -. , 4
• She returned with the big -white bOx.
When it was uncovered Ruth opened her
eyes wide with-. wonder." Oh.! ah 1"
she cried; you beautiful thing !" .
Yea; it was beautiful; -- Even Nathan
was satisfied.
"Now, Ruth, you run up -stairs and
try it on and then come down and sheet
us," said Mrs. Skinner. . ' '1 •
"But where did you get it 1" aiked
Ruth..
"1•
got it for Mandy to 'wear to the
ball." said Nathan, t .
• Then between them' they told the
whole story, • a .- - - • .
"I'm thankful we • was kepi from
making fools of ourseliesr said Mandy.
• When Ruth came down, managing
her train with wonderful _skill, Nathan
raised himaelf on his elbow and °to:Ulm-
-ea :‘" Well, if ' that ain't a stunner 1"
Mandy walked over, threw her arms
around' the girl's neck and kissed her as
she said: "There's the gloves ant the
other fficin's, too." °-.
So the wine -colored velvet went to the
ball in spite ofdate. I
Frank Mitchell had been counting on
that opportunity foram long, and there
was a question asked and •answered
that night that made two -people ;happy.
Ruth still persists in saying; _." I owe
all to the Skinners and the velvet
ress Nathan got for his wife to Wear to
he ball." ... • .;

• Pcf.wn After More Hay.
Many years ago Nathaniel Wilbur; of
Durham, was popularly supposed to be
the man in town who could build is load
'of hay in the least time and in the but
manner. -
One day he made a wager with his
three sobs that he could take care of -the
hay as, fast as they could pitch -it into
the rack:
He succeeded in this way very well
until theload began to rise Above and
overhang the sides of the rack.
In his eakerness to outdo theold gen-
tleman, one of the.boysi with his forkful
of hay, forced his father.over - the op- •
posite side upon the ground.
,Hastening around to render assis-
tance, if necessary, the boys found their
father on his feet with his arms full of
the hay he had dragged off with him,
good naturedly waiting for them.1 .
"Why,, father, what are you,doing
here ? esked one of the young ipen. -
" Doing ? I am down after more hay;
there is nothing up there for me o do."

How It Feels to Ride at a°
Record Pace on the e -
Stretch..
William -Hayward is the oldest jockey
on the turf. His experiences would fill
a book. "How does it feel te 4ide at
a record .pacc ?" repeated he tr ques-
tion asked him by a reporter of the
Denver,Colorado, Horse, ." Well, if you
know how to ridetit's very exhilarating;
but if you don't know how; it is any-
thing but pleasant. If you ride with
your head down, that is to say, bent
slightly, so that the wind does not beat:
right on' -your faee, you can breathe
easily, but you hold your - mouth l wide
open and let the air beat right in your
face and then, you will have . great
difficulty in breathing, and if the race
is a long one you will-Ito:some exhausted
ty the end of the -tide, A,mile- foeon
• a goad horse is run hfisbout one minute
and forty seconds—that is the record
made in a race. It has been made in
1.89, but that was on a prepared track.
A mile in 1.40 is at the rate of 36 miles
an hour, ;--so, .yon see, a race horse
travels at express speed. If you want
to see low it feels to go through the
air' at race -horse speed, just hang your
head out of a railroad carriage window,
turning your face toward the way the
train is travelling. At the same time
imagine that you are sitting in & saddle
and have to holden to, your horse and
guide him on to victory, if po
keeping him from being ran down or
interfered with. It is no easy task to
ride a horse in a race. The jockey
must have his wits about him. ffe

he feels. - When riding- in a bet* and

get. everything except that I. must

•Mr. McCarthy's Sincerity.
Commenting. upon Mr. . McCarthy's
recent speech in Montreal, the Herald,
of that city,. remarks: -.When people
hear the president of the Ontario Con.
servative Union .complain of ,what we
had been !suffering in the Province of
Quebec 'for the Past forty years they
tmustesk themselves who has been in
power at Ottawa during all but five
years of the life of the Confederation,
and then when the reply comes, Sir
John Macdonald,' they will supplement
the question with another: What has
been Mr:- McCarthy's attitude towitds
that gentlemen?' The angler is that -
Mr. McCarthy has 'supported Sir John:
Macdonald in every act of his adminis-
tration, defended every nefarious trans-
action in which the Government has
been engaged, supported the establish -
me -it. of the dual language in the
North-West, and reaped a • rich Recut,
ary reward for his subserviency.' Add;
to this the declarations.of Mr. Laurier I
when in Toronto, that the Protestant
minorityinthe Province of Quebec had
always been supporters of Sir John
Macdonald and, the Conservative Gov-
ernment, and that all, the alleged °book;
