‘ If you please, sir,’ said Cissy, with a
liitle courtesy, ‘I am the girl that dances.’ Mr. Piukard laid down his cigar,
turned his revolviug chair around with| la twirl, and stared hard at the new! comer. ,
‘You?’ said be. ‘ Nonsense!’
For when Mr. Pickard, the manager of the modest little travelling theatrical company, had telegraphed to the New York agency for a first-class dancer to fill up the yawning void caused by the elopehent of Malice. Rosita Posita with the stage manager, he had expected to see a far different sort of person from this littie girl in the neat brown calico dress, the bit of lace frilling arcund her neck, and the brown cotton gloves mend- ed so carefully at the finger ends. Mdlle. Posita had been a larze young woman with a quantity of untidy bioude hair, a pink complexion, aud a great deal of shabby finery which she delighted in air- ing ou all occasions.
‘ But, please, I am,’ said Cissy ; ‘ Here is a note from Simpson & Co.’
‘You a dancer!’ said Mr. Pinkard. ‘Why, you look like—like a- kitchen maid!’
‘IT can dance,’ said Cissy gravely.
Mr. Pinkard flung open the door of an adjoining room, and beckoned to a little old man in spectacles who was copying music close to a window there,
‘ Jenks, said he, ‘come here a minute with your violin. Play something. As for you, girl—dance.’
Little old Mr. Jenks, rousing himself from an apparent trance, flung his whole soul into a wild,swaying sort of mazourka —one of those mad tumultuous melodies which take one instinctively to the moon- lighted graves of Spain. And Cissy— ‘Madlie. Celine’ they called her in the letter, but her real name was Cecilia Stubbs—began instantly to dance.
Wild, graceful, foilowing the time of the violin as a reed sways to the autumn wind, she floated to and fro in the room. Mr. Pinchard watched her with sparkling ore
‘You'll do, Celine,’ said he. think you'll do!’
But the other members of the company did not receive Mdile. Celitie,’ with rap- turous delight.
‘That little dark thing.’ said Miss Al- varez, who did the ‘ first lady.’
‘With no more complexion than a chestnut!’ said Mrs. Terriui, who came on in the walkiug-parts, where there was a good deal of attitudinizing aud very little to say.
‘It’s an insult to the troupe,’ said Mr. Montague, who had been partial to the Rosita Posita.
For Cissy, anxious though she was to please, did not seem to harmonize with the others. She did not know how to flirt, and was manifestly horrified when Miss Susanuette Sedley told the manager that the reason she wasn’t in time on Thursday's rehearsal! was because her mother was very sick.
‘But yon, Know, Miss Sedley, that isn’t true,” said Cissy. ‘“* You were walking with Signor Chiardi,”
‘Will you mind your own business, little Miss Meddle?’ indignantly demaad- ed the fair Susaneite.
So by degrees Cissy fel! into disgrace. She danced as exquisitely as ever. No- body could deny that she was a beautiful dancer, but off the stage she was ignored in different stages of rudeness by every one, and by degrees-she fell into a sullen sert of moodiness, and went about speaking to no one, with her head droop- ing like a broken flower. Mrs. Pinkard, the manager’s mother, saw that she was decently lodged and cared for at every place through which they passed, but even Mrs. Piakard, good soul though she was, did not take kiadl to the dark- browed silent girl.
‘I like people with something to say for themselves,’ said Mrs. Pinkard. * Mademoiselle Celine is very odd. She looks at you with big eyes like a startled rabbit, and when I spoke to her about her dress—it really is something outland- ishly shabby—she began to cry, and said she was saving up all her salary to pay some debts that her father owed when he died! Really she calls herself 18, but I should say she was at least 1000 years old. I do like young people to be young people |’ said Mrs. Pinkard, with energy.
But, all the same, Celine’s dancing was immensely liked by the public. She was encored every evening—she had flowers thrown to her, which she picked up, saying to herself,‘O, how preity they are, and how expensive they must have been! I would so much rather have had the money ; —and, in fine, the public seemed to be well suited with Mille. Celine, and her wi'd, poetic pas seuls. And the more popular she be- came with audiences, the more the other members of the company held aloof from her {
One evening Celine was dancing in a new part. Mrs. Pinkard herself had helped to dress her, The manager was away bargainivg for a limited series of

the old lady felt the weight of a little responsibility.
‘Celine is a born artist,’-said Mrs. Pinkard, ‘ but she don’t always make the most of her luxuriant hair and the rich complexion she has !’
Mrs. Pinkard was sitting half asleep in the little dressing-room, waiting for) Celine to ‘ come off.’ Celine herself had} just floated from the stage in a cloud of| star-sprinkled white tulle, with a tiny | silver wand held high above her head, | when there was a blinding flash of bril-| liavce across the stage which did not come from the foot-lights—a cry from) the audieace—a stifling cloud of rolling. smoke.
One of the scene-shifters had care- lessly rolled a fly too near the gas-light, which depended behind the scenes—the| inflammable material had blazed up like) so much tinder, and the whole building, was in a blaze before the audience were} well clear of it. The terrified actors rushed out into the bitter starlight of the, frozen wiuter night in their velvet and’ tinsel just as they were—the dancers, | flinging their cloaks over tulle and stage’ jewels, fled in wild afright—and not un- til they were all out in the street did any! one notice that Mrs. Pinkard was not} among the number.
‘She must have fallen asleep in the green room, away back of the scenes!’ cried Mile Celine, with a ery which seemed to rend the vault of heaven itself. * Oh, God have mercy upon us, she will be burned to death !’
People looked with white, appalled faces at each other. In this out-of-the way, torpid little country town there was no ‘paid fire department,’ no gallant heroes to rush to the rescue. Miss Al- varez caught Cissy by the arm as she was making a rush toward the lurid building, whose frame door and window casings stood out black against the glar- ing background of fire.
‘Are you mad, girl?’ she cried hoarse- ly. ‘The woman is past all rescue now —you wili only be imperilling your own life !’
But Cissy snatched her arm away.
‘She was good to me!’ she cried. ‘She never spoke a cross word to me. And I loved her! She shall not perish ia the flames if I can belp it!”
‘Fool!’ muttered the other, as Cissy disappeared, seeming almost to rush into the red, gaping jaws of the flames.
‘ We are sorry for poor Mrs. Pinkard, too,’ said Montague, who, in his red velvet stage doublet and white silk tights, stood shivering in the old blanket which did duty for an overcoat, * but it don’t follow that we are to risk our lives!’
* When it can do no good,’ hysterically sobbed Mrs, Terrini. ‘ Oh, dear, oh, dear, do you suppose death by fire is very painful, Mr. Montague ?’
At that very moment, however, Cissy rushed out, her flowing black hair ali singed away, her dress blackened and scorched, but dragging by main force the limp and helpless form of poor old Mrs. Pinkard, who stupified by the smoke, had herself lost all power of volition And, almost simultaneously, the man- ager himself, who had arrived by a late train, hurried upon the scene.
‘My mother, he shrieked. My mo- ther! They tell me she is inside the blazing theatre—they tell me she is burned to death.’
‘ She is here,’ cried Montague. ‘ Dead or alive, that dancing girl has brought her out of the fiery furnace of flames.’
They took them both in an ambulance to the hotel—poor Mrs. Pinkard, all scared and senseless, Cissy pale and silent.
‘TI don’t know how I did it,’ said she; ‘TI only kuow that I could not stand still aud leave her to perish.’
Mrs. Pinkard recovered, but she never was quite strong again. But when she began to sit up a little she called her son
to her. ‘ Markham,’ said she, ‘ you must do something for Cissy Stubbs. She has
saved my life at the peril of her own.’
The manager looked up with,a smile. ‘ Dear old mammie,’ said he, ‘1 have done something. I have raised her salary $l0a month.’
‘ Pshaw !’ said Mrs. Pinkard.
‘Ihave dismissed the Alvarez because she quarreled with little Cissy !’ he added
‘Now, Markham, do be in earnest,’ pleaded the old lady.
‘Well, mammie, what do you want, then?’ said he. ‘Just decide on some- thing for yourself ’
Mrs. Pinkard looked wistfully at her son. ‘I should like to adopt her, Murk- ham,’ said she.
* Do you really like her so much ?’
‘More than [ can tell,’ Mrs. Pinkard answered, fervently.
‘Welle then,’ said the manager, * you will be giad to hear that I asked her yes- terday evening to be my wife!’
*Oh, Markham !’
* and she said—yes !’
The old lady burst into tears.
*I am very, very glad,’ said she, ‘ for now I shall have her always!’
So little Cissy—‘ Mademoiselle Celine,’ as they had it in the bills—never danced again. The grave, silent bud of her girlish beauty has blossomed now into the perfect rose of 2 household angel.
‘But [never expected,’ says she, ‘ wher
representatious in a neighboring city, so

Mr. Talmage had something to say about newspapers on Sunday last. Said he — ‘A good newspaper is the grandest tem- poral blessing that God has given to the people of this century. The theory is abroad that anybody can make a newspaper with the aid of a capitalist. The fact is that fortunes are swallowed up every year im the vain effort to establish news- papers, most of which die of cholera infantum, (Laughter.) It is high time that it was understood that the most successful way to sink a fortune and keep it sunk is to start a newspaper. Te pub- lish a newspaper requires the skill, pre- cision, vigilance, strategy, aud boldness of a commander-in-chief. To edit a news- paper one needs ‘to be a statesman, a geographer, a statistician, and so far as all acquisitions are concerned, encyclopedic.
Diphtheria has killed more people in the south of Russia than any other epidemic, not excepting the plague. It has _pre- vailed there since 1872. In Bessarabia, 15,000 out of 36,000 persons who were at- tacked have succumbed to it. Out of 46,- 009 cases, 19,000 ended fatally, and in Kharkoff out of 29,000 cases there have 17,000 deaths.
