THE PRETTY SCHCOLMISTRESS, |x°uns.srdoretty at thar. 1 don't know how

In the thriving village of Hollythorn

church, post office, a couple of stores and a

mother and brother and sisters to assist in supporiing. For the sake of economy, Mies Maude ‘“‘boarded around” among the scholara, and was considered a paragon among teachers. Her father had been a respectable mechanic, but died after about two years of illness, which bitterly im- poverished his family. Maud, however, being the oldest, received a good plain

upon them, and unselfishly began her work of assisting in their support.

The last week previous to the holiday vacation she had been boarding with a Mre. Carpenter, who was making gigautic prepsrations for guests she was expecting from New York.

‘You never met my brothers, Maude,’ she said, and then began to give the pretty young teacher a description of them.

‘There’s Sam, George and John, the youngest, aud such times as they have when they get here and rusticate, as they call it. But, dear me, I don’t get much rest or peace, for they are like a pack of beys let out of school, The last time they visited me altogether, John and Sam actually cut & pane of glass from the window and pelted George with snow out of my best room. You see (here is always a regular strife for that particular room, for the bed is a spring one, and they don’t sleep on any other in the city. But they don’t get it this time that’s certain, for | intend to keep you in that room, and so end the cortroversy. I am so afraid that they will break or rnin some- thing that [am glad you are here. It may keep them in check a little.’

‘IL had just- as soon occupy some other room, Mrs. Carpenter, and do not wish to incommodate your brothers—have no right to do so.’

‘No, you shan’t, Mande,’ peremptorily exclaimed her hostess. ‘‘And what is the use of your going home vacation week ! You can stay here just as well as not, and do your sewing on my machine. Your mother has got enough mouths to feed, I guess, and won't miss yours.’

The subject was dropped and the entire household retired early, for on the morning the brothers, young, ardent and full of life, were to be there. But without sending any word of their intention, they had concluded to take the evening train, which would land them in Hollythorne about bed time. John and George did so, and when safely seated in the cars began to speculate about the absence of Sam.

‘No reason on earth why he should not be along,’ said George.

‘No, for he told me this morning that he would certainly be on hand,’ said John.

‘I can’t make it out, unless he bas taken the five o’clock train by mistake.’

‘Not a bit of it,’ laughed John, who fancied he understood the entire pro- gramme. ‘Itis more than probable that he took the train on purpose to get Han- nah’s spare bed room, and make us take up with straw tick and feathers.’

‘I didn’t think of that, but I reckon you are right. We must contrive to get him out, somehow.’

‘Bet your life on that.’

The brothers put their heads together, and laughed merrily over some scheme fer outwitting Sam, and accordingly, when the train reached Hollythorne about eleven o’clock, they appreached the house in a very stealthy manner.

Climbing the fence in the rear, they softly opened a window and gained access to the pantry, where they soon demolished anice pie and a quantity of doughnuts. Then with appetites appeased, they re- moved their boots and prepared to examine the best room. They stole along the hall, wKich was dimly lighted by the moon, ascended the stairs and reached the door. The faint rays of the moon disclosed a chair filled with clothing, and they could dis- tinctly trace the outlines of a form beneath the bed clothes, and had not the remotest idea but that Sam was enjoying sweet repose upon Hannah’s best bed.

A few whispered words were exchanged and then, as softly and lightly as if shod with down they drew near.

‘All ready,” whispered John.

Quick as thought they seized upon the form of the sleeper, bed clothes and all, bore it swiftly down stairs vut into the snow, and were just about to deposit it ina huge drift, when a shrill shriek broke the stillness of the night, and, Oh, great goodness'—it was the form of a woman! And in their dire confusion they dropped their delicate burden plump in the middle of a big drift.

A Clever and Successful Hoax.

The Liverpool Mercury of March 13th

has the following story of a hoax which victimized quite a number of gay lotharios;

—A correspondent writes—OQn Tuesday night a cleverly executed scheme, deceiy- ing a large number of gentlemen, was con- summated at the Haymarket Theatre, Lon- don. About ten days back it appears that each received a missive in a lady’s hand- writing which ran as follows:—‘'The writer of this is auxious to have the pleasure of meeting you. She will be at the Haymarket Theatre on Tuesday, 11th

March next. If you will be in the stalls you

wil) not fail to recognize her; but to show

that this meeting is agreeable will you wera a buttonhole of violets and lilies of the

when, to his dismay, he noticed other men

Men came from Aldershot, from Brighton, and from the country, many of

them wearing scarlet geraniums in place of violets, which made them the more con- spicuous. ereft exchequer was enriched by the appear- ance of sixty victims, many of whom were cute enough to hide their flowers in their hats, to be assumed scarlet should be discerned. end of the first act it was very patent that a ‘‘sell” of the first water had been per- petrated, two noble lords, the chief char- acter in an Irish breach of promise case, ang others equally well known, being among the gay lotharios.

A certain stage-box was graced by the presence of a well-known form, and the party took the keenest interest in the successive entrees of the lady-killers.

The whiskey ring at Washington failed

to pass their bill extending the time dur- ing which the enormous stock of whiskey now on hand may remain in bond. The

duty on it amounts to over $70,000,000, part of which is now due, and it is said over $20,000,000 will be due before lst June. Very powerful influences were bronght to bear to pass the bill, among the influences being the banks which had made advances on the bonded whiskey. The strongest opposition came from states where they have local option prohibition. It is now expected that Canada will be made a ‘slaughter market’ for the “‘evil spirits” across the border.

‘Good gracious! exclaimed George, ‘it isn’t Sam, but some woman, sure as I’m a sinner, and she’s fainted. Run and call Hannah!’

‘George! John! for goodness sake what does this mean? Who have you there?’ asked Mrs. Carpenter in an excited man- ner,

‘Blessed if I know,’ replied George, ‘thought it was Sam, so we concluded we'd give him a dose of snow for getting into the best bed and trying to euchre us. Quick, I

believe she’s fainted!’

‘Just like you,’ scolded Hannah, as she assisted in depositing Maude upon the bed from which she had been so uncere- moniously taken; ‘you begin your tricks on each other before you get fairly into the house. Clear out!

Long before she was done with her tirade, her discomfited brothers had betaken them-

‘eeives down stairs, where they almost went into hysterics over the joke.

‘A pretty kettle of fish,’ said George, ‘rolling over the floor, and letting off peal lafter peal of laughter | ‘I should think it was,’ replied John, |holding his sides ‘Oh, my! but what the) dickens is to be done about it, and who do | you suppose it is, George?’
