What She Would Want.

"And when we are married." said the beautiful young girl to whom the nged mililonaire had just proposed. "will you give me everything I want ?"

"Everything. my charmer," replied the old inan in an ecstasy of delight at this intimation that she would surren- der: "everything that you can ask." "If I could believe you," she said, doubtfully. "I would not hesitate n min- ute."

"Why should you doubt me ?" asked.

"Oh, because uf the character of the request I would make," she answered. "You mean well, but I'm afraid you might back out. You see, the first thing I should ask after marriage would he for a divorce and nl muny."-Chicago Post.

It's a perfect little cheruh, with the love iest eyes, the sweetest little mouth, the cunningest little nose, and eyes of heavenly blue.

AAt first every one took it for! granted that its tnother must have been a .1 sterrate, or, at the least, a second calan passenger. It seemed unlikely that death wond bu so impertinent as to enter the first enlan. But it was learuel that the destroyer had been even more insolent than that-it had taken n chill much fa- Vored of fortune, the hrir to great Wealth.

I went to visit Atrs, Morell, the child's mother. Shr was tall and white, with wide eyes, which must have beeu beanti- ful when she was happy. Now a sort of blankurss, like that of the air aud the Sra, had come into then.

""The captain askel me if I would be willing to have my baby buried at sen." she said to me in a voice which reminded me of a mourafnl bell, "gud I told him 1 had no objection whatever."

"AD!" L'ejaculated in amazed surprise. "Nothing is more peacefnt than the drops of the sea," she respyuded, aud it Iwing night she asked me to walk upon the duck with her nuder cover of the darkness,

The next morning the captain read the hnrial service with solemn accent, and Into the colorless sea, through the white vacaney of the fog. the little one was lowered reverently. 1 stood beside the mother. and I would have sustained her with my arm but that she gently repulsed nie. She swayed a little from side to side, but there were uo tears on the face that looked out of the quaint pointed hood of ber sen cloak. She stored nhead of her at the stupid fog-she looked hat- Bed, into obscurity.

Sublenly, an hour after the funeral, the mist lifted. It rolled up os a curtain rolls up, and it was a saffron color, gleaming and splendid. When it had lifted. a sparkling sea was revenled and a cloudless sky. The world hecame ra- diant. It seemed to exult in its heanty. Mrs. Moren cast a look of reproach at this vaonting of nature's youth and joy and went to her cabin.

Through the day messages were sent her and delicate evidences of sympathy. but her maid alone returned thanks. The next morning fonnil her still in seclusion. More than one of ns thought of invading that sacred solitude, but at the last forbore.

It was the afternoon of that day that the man on the bridge espied an object upon the horizon at the sonth. It was a black speck, visible in a short time to all of 11%.

"It's a ship's longboat," was the ver- diet at last. "It is manned und flying a tag of distress."

Thr course of our ship was changed. We went racing through the green water. rejoicing in the zest of the hour. in the action, the event.

J'resently we were stamiing of cau- tiously from a longboat manned with hazzard men.

The newsboy grins: "Get on to her nibs! Now, wudn't dat tickle yer under de ribs. "Tis awning stuff. wid a mustard smear. Take it oway! ha don't go here!" But she heare them not, and she cares much less; She's one of the Arst in o ithakl dress.
