THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 5, 1888.— SIXTEEN" PAGE». 7 CARNIVAL IS ENDED, The Children Had the Last Day of St. Paul's Third Winter Carnival, And They Came Out in Large Numbers and Enjoyed the Fun. Winnipeg Carrie! Off the Punch Bowl in the Curl- ing* Bonspiel. The Palace Illumined for the Last Time, and the Car- nival Is Over. It was Children's day at the ice palace grounds' and all during the afternoon thousands of the little ones disported here, there and everywhere, making the air glad with their merry shout and gleeful romp' Yes, the "kids" were out. and it whs a sight worth going miles to see to watch their antics and mischief-making. The older heads were there, too, but they contented themselves with looking on and seeing to it that the ••innocents" didn't break their precious necks in their pursuit after enjoyment. There were cute little ponies on the grounds which could be hired for a short time for a dime. It is needless to say that every "kid" with a dime in his pocket invested in a pony.for if there is anything a small boy does love, barring going to school, it is a pony; and the way those boys rode and the wav they larruped those poor beasts would satisfy an onlooker that they were having their moneys worth. | Some of the boys were out in their little j sleighs drawn' by one or more well trained dogs' and they drove about with I beads as high and hearts as happy as those possessed of a "coach ami four," while their less lucky comrades afoot looked on and envied them. There were also quite a number of handsome rigs and turnouts manned and DRIVEN BY YOUXG AMEKICA. Every style of sleigh, from the com- mon box to the elegant Cortland, could be seen, besides an endless variety of handsome ponies and Shetlamls. The toboggan slides were in splendid condi- tion."wie ice being firm and smooth, and the patronage therefore large throughout the afternoon. The ice rink was crowded, too, with the youth of both sexes, who dashed about with utter recklessness. Aside from the numerous "dull thuds" there were no mishaps worthy of mention. At 4:30 the Indian braves, in all their paint and feathers, came out from their tepees and amused the children with a sham battle. No doubt many a boy's mind, as he gazed on the scene, went back to a certain chapter in "Dare Devil Jack.the Terror of the Redskins," where it is described how the hero. "single-handed and alone, held his own against a score of the red devils." For some reason there was no pony race and therefore no award of prizes, much to the discomfiture of the "kids." The following were some of the juve- nile turnouts: Annieclare Northrup.Merriam Park — Chestnut Shetland pony with toboggan. Toboggan trimmed with horns of Rocky mountain sheep, antelope, buffalo anil deer, and furs of Rocky mountain lion and Rocky mountain goal: pappoose blanket of calf of musk ox: pony with maroon velvet blanket, plumes, ribbons and chimes.

Master Bushnel! — Four-in-hand grays and bays; red, black, green and yellow plumes; two-seated Portland. Harry Castle— Buckskin and mouse- colored Shetlands; yellow plumes; chimes; Portland. DOG TEAMS. Fred Haupt— Brown Spaniel ''Sport;" red pangled blanket; sleigh with can- opy. John Powers— Black and white shep- herd dog; yellow silk blanket; two-seat sleigh. .John McGeary— Newfoundland; black and red ribbons: bob sleigh. Henry Loeffelholz—Span of buffalo dogs; yellow and red decorations; sin- gle-seat sleigh. Chas. Lynch— abreast, two Irish and otwo* English setters; single-scat sleigh. .1. C. Barber— Span of Irish setters; red ribbons; single-seat sleigh. J. cN. Hardy— Team of Cashmere goatts; white blankets with red and blue trimmings and monogram **?('"'; single-seat sleigh. The following Angelos in embryo, labored industriously carving from huge blocks of hardened snow images of the Dwarf of the Black Forest: Leo Goodkind, Ernest Me rill, Harvey Offi- cer, Jr., and Harry Butler. The work of all was very creditable. Prizes for the ice sculpture" will be awarded Monday by a committee comprising W. A. Van Slyke, George H. Hazard and Capt. George H. Moffett. WINNIPEG AVON. Close Contest In the Closing Hours of the Curling Bonspiel. Winnipeg again! It was Winnipeg twice last year, and now it is Winnipeg three times in curling matches for the Prairie City of the North can exult over the possession of the East vs. West, point and Carnival bonspiel first prizes. Sam Harstone, a curler six years.a noted skip, and whose rink is the champion rink in Manitoba, carried off the silver punch howl yesterday to Winnipeg, to place it alongside W. G. Frazer's (last year's) and McKechnie's. St. Paul, however, gets second prize, the silver cup. The four rinks played very closely during the forenoon yesterday. The ice was fine. The score, when the last head was played, stood: VIJfSITEG GRANITES VS. WIXNITEO GRANITES. ('. E. Carbert, .1. A. Girviu, J. McDonald, ('. P. Wilson, .T. Patterson, C. W. Ilufi'm-ui. S. G.

McCulioch needed just two to tie Lindsay in the last head, but the "Leather Jackets," of the home club, very fortunately got four and came out a winner unexpectedly. Harstone, of Winnipeg, and McCulioch, of St. Paul, then played off, the winning rink to take first prize, and the losing rink second; and Smith, of Winnipeg, and Lindsay, of .Stonewall, played off for third prize.

The Wiunipeggers have been playing on a covered rink, with ice as smooth as ' glass, all winter, and steady practice showed tho kind of curling it produces in yesterday afternoon's wind-up game. The Win- nipeggers have also had the advantage of. playing upon fine ice in the Jackson street rink during the first two days of the Carnival, while McCulloch's rink was throwing stones through the ice of the Carnival rink. McCulloch's men are all players of only a year or two, George Nettleton having curled this year only. Following was the deciding score by heads: Winni- St. | ****l_lli- St. Heads. pes;.

"Oh, how lovely,", exclaimed a young lady last evening, as She leaned just a little more heavily on the arm of her best young man, while they gazed at the cascade of fire that poured down all sides of the ice palace. The sight was a grand one—indeed, it far surpassed any other feature of the fireworks dis- played during the Carnival. Owing to the unfavorable condition of the atmos- sphere on Thursday evening, this part of the programme could hot be used,but last evening everything was in just the right condition, ami it was a perfect success. The grounds were well filled long be- fore the exhibition began, the crowds dividing their time between the Indian village, where the customary war dances were going on, and the toboggan slides, where a large crowd were enjoying themselves. Finally,' at 8:30, Col. Rob- ertson gave the signal, the lights went out around and in the palace, and the brilliant display began. With the ex- ception of tho* bombs, which were all used on Thursday evening, the display was as large as that of the last storming, while, owing to the condition of the at- mosphere, it was much more beautiful. President Cleveland a Member. The Ryan Toboggan club voted Presi- dent Cleveland an honorary member, and sent him a badge and letter notify- ing him of his election. The following reply was received: Secretary Kyan Toboggan Club, St, Paul.

Kent, who won the eight-mile across country steeple-chase, find that he is not a professional as claimed. Studebaker had his beautiful gold- covered sleigh out yesterday, and him- self, J. 11. Burwell and Dudley Hersey enjoyed a ride in it. Burwell's bay team, decorated with orange, white and blue plumes, was attached to it.- It is in the form of a carved shell, with a carved lion's head in front."

New Orleans, Feb. 4.—Jim Come;- -; litis, a negro fourteen years old, was hanged at Mindcn, Webster parish, yes- terday for the murder a year ago of Ernest Wren, a four-year-old son of G. P. Wren, member of the legislature from that parish. The negro boy was in Wren's employ and the little child was playing around the negro boy, who pushed aim down and made him bite his tongue so that his mouth bled. The little fellow cried and threatened to toll his mother. The negro begged him not to tell as he did not want to be whipped, but tin- little fellow persisted. The i negro then struck him with an axe handle, crushing in his skull and mang- ling his head so that he died almost In- stantly. The boy was charged with the crime and confessed. He was tried and convicted, but a new trial was. granted on account ot informalities in the in- dictment. On the second trial he was again convicted and sentenced to be hanged. The governor approved sen- tence six weeks ago-. Up to the time of his death the condemned boy seemed stolid and indifferent. He was visited by white preachers who labored with him, and by a colored preacher. The latter's work seemed effective, for when he ascended the scaffold he declared he was going right to God to be an angel in heaven. The fall was seven feet, but his -neck was not broken. -He was strangled to - death ; in eight minutes. His parents, well-to-do and honest peo- ple, refused to receive, the body of the boy murderer, and he was buried by the sheriff. ;\u25a0.*. AFTER ALOBBYIST. ; Congressman Thomas' Threatens - to Cowhide a Lobbyist. Special to the Globe. r , '•'.•' : .' T Washington, Feb. 4. — Some time ago Representative Thomas, of Wisconsin, introduced a resolution which provided that inasmuch as the subsidized Pacific railroads are ' not making any effort to pay their i debt to"; the govern- ment, there should - .' be no more natents for lands issued to them until they pay their debt. C. P. Huntington keeps in Washington a man named Boyd to look after the interests of his road. This man saw lit to assert that the Thomas' resolution was introduced for blackmailing purposes. Mr. Thomas heard of this. To-day he met Boyd in the lobby ot the house. Mr. Thomas proceeded to comb down Mr. Boyd in a manner that was more emphatic than polite. He was angry and did hot choose his words; He characterized Boyd as a black scoundrel, and swore that if he again attempted to blacken his' (Thomas) char- acter lie would cowhide him wherever he found him. * Boyd did not like the dose, but slunk away. The committee has not yet disposed of the resolution. Congressman Thomas says: "I believe these blackmailers can only be dealt with' effectively as individuals by individuals. Boyd has been cir- culating scandalous stories not only concerning my Pacific railway lands bill, but concerning myself. I merely called him to a personal account, and did not assault him, but If he ever touches my name again with his soiled tongue, it will not probably be well for him.

The Marked Cards That Are Used by the Sharpers for Robbing the Innocent Players. Gamblers, Driven From Their Old Haunts, Play Poker With Their Victims and Use "Readers*" One of the Clever Devices Used for Swindling— lllustrations Showing How It Is Done. <-*"*-******_r--»N A city the size of Chicago l_vEfrmayora may come and mayors iff IP may go, but gambling in some -***£\u25a0 | form or other goes ou forever. $£ > \\ «Just now public gaming houses, 3*?-» : as they nourished under May- ~s?Mi or Harrison, are closed up, i&Jii and Mayor Roche, warmest z&jH admirers sincerely hope that -*— 3_~l ' ie will keep them so to the ( *~^~"\ end of his term. It used to be said that the mayor did not dare keep the gambling houses closed for six 'mouths prior to a mayoral election. That was be- cause gamblers were supposed to con- trol a large number of votes. Whatever Mayor Roche may do then he certainly has the public gaming houses closed now, and such of the gambling fra- ternity as remain in town are compelled to confine their operations to poker and kindred games in out of the way places, where the police have diflieuly in reach- ing them, says the Chicago Herald. •.'No gambling in Chicago," exclaimed one of the "chip-charming" fraternity; "just come with me and I'll show you." The conversation took place in a North side hotel, and the sport remarked: "IE you want a little poker 1 will introduce you up stairs." The scribe accepted the invitation, and by the time he had squandered a dollar worth of chips on a pair of kings, the game came to an abrupt ter- mination by one of the players making a vigorous protest against the cards that were being dealt. "The man who would play his money \u25a0 against those card is a 'fish.' They are 'readers,' and I want my money or there will be some fun." "1 never allow 'marks' to be played in my house, hut if you are not satisfied cash in your chips,'"' indignantly replied the man who attended to "rake-off and the necessary details. The seeker for the truth followed the player down stairs and requested further information regarding "marks" or "readers." "That is the rankest kind of a game, a regular brace skin throughout. The fellow to my right operated a 'shiner;' the fellow who sat opposite to me had a 'hold-out' in his sleeve, and the cards they played with were marked. Your money was not worth a cent on a dollar in that joint. Come with me and I will take you to a. straight game." The reporter had enough, but he managed to pursue the investigation far enough to secure a deck of cards that are identical with those used on the oc- casion mentioned. Illustrations show- ing the manner in which these cards are made, so as to be easily lead by the dealer, are given. They cost from *?1 to \u25a0*?-' per pack, and they are manufactured in an infinite variety of designs. Marked cards, or readers, as they are termed, invariably have the key or dis- tinguishing cipher on the upper left- hand and lower right-hand corners. The accompanying cut shows the back of such a card "withdotted lines running iii/iij Li.*- icaucia itt <i^t.t i lojvo. jlu^ upper "reader" shows the number or rank of the card, and the lower the suit, as clubs, diamonds, hearts or spades: In this case the innocent trefoil points straight up and indicates the card to be an ace. and opposite the lower asterisk the little double sprig with both twigs pointed the same way tells that the suit is spades — the card is the ace of spades. Atfirst glance one ' would say, per- haps, that it was a difficult matter to read these cards; that one who at- tempted to play with them would find himself halting in his deal and puzzling over the "readers." Not so. in a sin- gle half hour any ordinary person may , learn ami become proficient in the use of such a pack, and if this is possible, bow much more easy must it come to the professional gambler who is accustomed to using them. In or- der to show how easy it is here is the corner of the king of clubs. The reader should remember, however, thnt as has been Is the case with the queen of diamonds above. The nines, eights,, sevens, sixes, and fives are indicated with the same form of cipher, the trefoil, but it is heavier. - The duces, threes and fours ' are mdl these cuts are con- siderably reduced from the original. and that the marks appear much more dis- tinct on the cards themselves than they can be made Next take the jack of hearts. The knave car- ries his head down in a shame faced manner, and all three of his brother knaves do pre- to appear in newspaper illustrations. The trefoil in this case is at an angle of forty-five degrees and points to the left and the mark on ail kings points the same way. me sun ciuos is indicated >y the one of th** twigs pointing to the directly to the left. The suit diamonds is indicated by the double twigs point- ing both right and left, whereas in spades both twigs point straight up. cisely the same. That this is the corner of the knave of hearts is indicated by one of the sprigs pointed to the left. After four jacks, as every good poker player knows, four tens is the most highly-prized- hand. The reader of the down, and the sprigs point both ways, • right. Now mark the contrast be- tween the king of clubs and the queen of d 1 a- monds. On this card the reader or trefoil is hori- zontal, and points Herald ought to be able to ' identify this . corner at a * glance, after he Ihas been told hat in all ten '[spots the trefoil points straight cated by a two-leafed flower, and the \u25a0 posi- tion or angle- of the figure is the key to the denomination o***l. the card. In tin deuces the C flowers open to the left, inu- tile trays to the up- per corner at an angle of 4- ueg , ami ip the four-spot cards it opens toward ihe top. The suit in the corner given here.-' with is, of course, spades, both the twigs pointing upward. - I i As has been stated, there are an end- less variety of "marks," but that which the Herald exposes herewith is one of the best ever designed because it is*, so easily read, and yet detection is abki- lutely out of the question in the absence " of the key. In short, the mark is buried in a network of flowers, and the drop* - or angle of any . particular bud would ' not be noticed. \ There is a way, however, by which a marked card player can be detected. As a: deck of cards is held in the hand the upper left-hand corners are the first exposed. With eyes riveted on this particular point the dealer reads as they are dealt off. Even with the knowledge BACK OF A "kkadki:." of where the cards fall, requires a schooled memory to keep track of his hands. While one plate is all that is necessary to print the backs of a "straight" deck of cards, it requires fifty-two separate plates to make a deck of "readers." As these plates are ex- pensive the institution that turns out the above beauties will scarcely appre- ciate the enterprise of the Herald, as an expose will prove ruinous. The youth of Chicago are entitled to some consid- eration, and if they must play poker this information will prove valuable. There is another innocent little con- trivance that . the boys should look out for. It is called a "shiner," and is no bigger than the average cuff button, which, in many respects, it resembles. . This contrivance is a thin piece of highly polished silver, generally of con- vex shape. At the bottom is a fiat steel needle which can be run into a stack of chips, under money, into the cloth cover of a table or any convenient place. The cards are held so that the dealer sees a reflection of the cards he. runs off. When this is used marked cards are not necessary. There are any number of ingenious devices used by unscrupulous rascals to fleece the novice. An automatic "hold- out" is now on the market, which sells for the modest sum of*?*is. This appli- ance is made ;to fasten upon the arm near -the shoulder. Of course, the machine is secreted under the , sleeve. -.By a slight pressure- of the arm against * the side a clamp comes down into the hand and 4 clutches *, the -.cards. By withdrawing *: the pressure the cards are drawn up tne pf sleeve, where they are retained until I wanted. It is alleged that a well known j Chicago club uses a card, the back of which is embellished with the club's monogram, and in the tracery of this design is a mark known only to a favored few. Speaking of clubs," there are more clubs in Chicago now than" ever before, and many of the newer and lower class ones are merely . used for gambling purposes. Faro is taking a rest, stud poker is no more, the roulette wheel is silent and the clicking of dice on the hazard table is no longer heard. But not so with the great American game of draw- poker. ; Jack-pots are fashionable, an d to disturb these games is to a certain extent to interfere with private life and domestic happiness. A SPECTRAL JACK TRAIN. The Shadows of an Old Driver and His Mules. Leadville (Col.) Herald. .-">-- My companion then spoke concerning our mission to this bleak and barren spot. "About twelve years ago,*' he said, "an old man by the name of Cear- nals was the proprietor of a jack train, with which he used to bring provisions and other commodities into that mining camp which you see beneath you there". This was before the railroads entered the fastnesses of these mountains, and everything was brought by mule teams or by these jack trains into the camp. The treasures which were found in the hills were carried out in the same way. One time the old man Cearnals did not arrive in the camp on time. 'Twas in the winter— the coldest one, too, ever experienced in these hills. A searching party was sent out to find him and his train, as the people who had goods consigned to him feared that some accident had befallen him. Near where we are now is where he and his train were found in a snow drift frozen to death. And now each night may be : seen the jack train just as they were, but in the form of spectres filing along on their way to the camp. Get out and we will go down the trail a piece and see them." We got out of the buggy, and, after fastening the horse to a stunted pine, we descended the other side of the range, on the road to Alma. After a most perilous and tortuous walk of half an hour, on account of the? slippery condition of the ground, which; was covered with snow, my companion] led me to a point near the old Leadville trail, which could be distinctly sefen above us against the side of the moim- tain. Looking at ids watch, he remarked! that it was abmt time for "them" to ap- ' pear. Alter kicking the snow from a' couple of I ould";rs we sat down, and in silence : awaited developments. My com- panion would not say a word.butsimnlv. puffed away at a cigar, his looks being cast in the direction of the trial. We waited at least half an hour, but jit. seemed a week to me, a cold wind hav-' arisen, and I was almost frozen and wjis wishing myself at home. Suddenly my* companion clutched me nervously by the arm and pointed to the trail, "The- sight that I saw made each individual hair on my head stand. on end, for there! on the trail, coming around a sharp an- gle caused by a boulder, was a jack train of twenty-three animals. They all emitted a faint phosphorescent glow, which made them appear all the more vivid against the side of the hill. They were loaded with different articles of merchandise, and the last one, which the spectral driver was urging on with his short goad, seemed to be loaded with Hour. Every once in a while, as the train slowly filed along, this last jack would lean his load against a projecting rock, as if resting himself. This would cause the driver to. punch it with his short stick. The weird spectres slowly- passed from view around the hill, and more dead than alive from fright, we made our way to where we had left the horse and buggy. My companion in- formed me while on our way back to the city that this strange sight could be seen any dark night. .*-.'\u25a0 .- . -- \u25a0 ,-<3^tos_^"*_^ 7 ."

Mrs. Clarke had taken Cicely Wallace .from the arms of her dying mother when she was a babe of two weeks old. \u25a0*o Cicely's mother was Mrs. Clarke's 'only and much-beloved child, and now 'that death was claiming her darling she took her little babe in her arms and promised that it would never know the want of a mother's love as long as she lived. ;'—/'; ;^;;.::: : .'t'" 31" Knowing this the young and beautiful Mrs. Wallace died with a sweet, peace- ful smile resting on her calm face. Mr. Wallace, after the death of his wife, lived with his father-in-law until Cicely was four years old. About this time he left home to visit England, but, alas, the vessel in which he sailed was wrecked, and all on board met a watery grave. The years passed on, one by one, as they ever do, and now they numbered five, and death had again entered the Clarke family. This time Mr. Clarke was the one who was called, and he was followed to the grave by a vast number of "friends and acquaintances." But when his grand house was sold and his debts paid not one of these "friends" or "acquaintances" came for- ward to lend a helping hand to the homeless widow and her little grand- child. Somehow they seemed to have forgot- ten that there was such a person as Mrs. Clarke, and the sensitive woman, seeing this, left the place where she had once been so happy and comfortable and en- tered the great working city of New York. Although Cicely was now only nine years old she was a tall, beautiful fair- haired girl, and was admitted into Mrs. Morton's work-room to learn the dress- making. In a short time Cicely became a great favorite with the working girls, but Mrs. Morton was a cold, hard-hearted woman, and very often when she would see Cicely pause for a few moments would exclaim: "Wake up, girl! No dreaming here; you must work." The rich blood would dye Cicely's fair face, and bending over, she would sew as if her life depended on it. • "." Thus did seven years roll on, and Cicely, who was now a cliaiminsr-look- ling young creature, and the best "hand" Mrs. Morton had in her large . rooms, was suddenly taken ill and con- fined to bed. For eighteen weary weeks Cicely lay op a sick bed, her dear grandma nurs- ing her tenderly. , v 'C- ;-.,. But the few dollars which were saved from Cicely's scanty earnings were now almost exhausted, and Mrs. Clarke often deprived herself of the necessaries of life to get some little luxury for the sick child. Poor woman, she was both old and delicate, and could not stand this nurs- ing aim starving long, ana one morning Cicely awoke to find the dear, kind creature who had been a mother to her sleeping in death beside her. .. A few weeks after this sad loss Cicely returned to Mrs. Morton's. %r Lonely arid sad were her evenings now; the. dear, gentle one whom she had loved so Well, and who had been so i kind to her,,n*9t her ,"" no more with a ' pleasant smile' as she came home from work." ,' ,',' , \u0084' Oh, ho! her eyes rested on the vacant chair and .the timeworn little Bible which lay on the table beside it—this was all, and the void was so great that the poor, lonely girl would sink on her knees and. weep bitterly until the night was far on. . Christmas was past, and it was now the last day of the old year. To-morrow was New Year's day, and for this reason there was a great rush of work at Mrs. Morton's. "Come, Cicely, let Margaret finish that silk, and you take these two dresses up to Mr. Wallace's ward. The walk will do you good!" said Mrs. Mor- ton's forewoman, coining into the work- room. .-.- : "And you had better walk fast, Cicely, for I believe Miss Edwards is to wear the blue one to-night at her grand ball," said Margaret, as she lifted up the dress which Cicely had been work- ing on. : : -v. '.-" : "". "There is one thing, Cic," exclaimed a -dark-eyed girl, as Cicely tied her hat on, "you will be proud of your name- sake and his splendid home— l would claim relationship, if 1 were you!" Cicely soiled sadly and passed out with her parcel. \u25a0 : ' Soon she stood before the home of Mr. Wallace. What a beautiful mansion it was! The hour was early, and, of course, none of the guests had yet arrived. , ' Cicely Wallace stood at the foot of the broad stone steps— would she enter by this door or find a side entrance? But the proud spirit of the girl sent a hot Hush to her pale face as she ques- tioned herself thus, and running lightly up the steps she rang the bell. A girl answered her, and she said in a clear, silvery voice: "Be kind enough to give this parcel to Miss Edwards." The girl turned her eyes on her scorn- fully, and laughed. "indeed! how good you be to yourself —march around to the other door, in double-quick time, an' don't come up here wid yer bundles!" A gentleman, who seemed to be aged by sorrow more than by years, stood in the inner hall, and had heard this dialogue at the door. Something in the stranger's voice had recalled an old memory, and. for a mo- ment he stood, before he realized what "had taken -place; then he came forward _uickly, saying: . ". :t V- V"-;..\u25a0.' \ "•\u25a0•''"\u25a0• , m. "Begone, Jane, how dare you insult a lady!" • - : * J* Jane walked away with a disdainful "toss of her head, and muttering some- thing about a "dressmaker being a lady!" A deep scarlet dyed the gentleman's sad, thoughtful face as the words reached his ear, and he turned to Cicely, Saying kindly: \u25a0--•\u25a0\u25a0 " "Please walk in; lam astonished at Miss Edwards for not sending for this -work!" \u25a0if- Cicely walked into the hall, and the light fell upon tire pale, beautiful young face. \u25a0\u25a0> She stood and raised her eyes inquir- ingly to the gentleman's face, and as he met that look he started _nd then sank into a large arm chair, with a moan. to Just then Miss Edwards came from fjie parlor into the hall. . • Cicely told her what had happened, and - she rang a bell for some ot the servants to take Mr.Wallace to his room until . he recovered from the deep faint into which he had fallen; Cicely was then leaving, when Miss Edwards said: -.''l think you had better remain until Guardie recovers; he may wish to speak to you; your presence has made him act so strangely. Come in here, please!" And she opened the parlor door. v.-/;; As Cicely entered the room her eyes rested on the .picture of a . beautiful i young beside it hung another," tbe : portrait of a middle-aged lady. .-. <-;V ' . For a moment she looked earnestly at this last; - then, forgetting' herself,' she turned to Miss Edwards, exclaiming: "Itis hers, is it not? Where did you. ! get it?" And then looking at the pic- ture again, she cried: [ .. grandma! poor, poor grandma!, ! what will Ido without you?" ".\u25a0.*.., ;' j i .Mr.Wallace entered the room ten minutes after and found Cicely stand- ing before the picture crying. Laying his hand on 'her shoulder he r said, softly: .\u25a0P^-'XP "Cicely, my long-lost darling, don't you remember your father?" Then Mr. Wallace told how he was picked up by a ship bound for India, and when he arrived at that place he lay sick of fever for a long time. Years passed . before Tie was able to return home, but when he did stand again on his native land he found Mr- Clarke dead, and Mrs. Clarke and little Cicely wore—no one knew where. Ever since he had searched for them, but in vain; and a few years ago he had bought this magnificent house, and offered a home to Miss Edwards, who was the poor orphan of a dear friend. The picture of the beautiful young girl, which hung beside her grandma's, was her mother— taken from a small daguerreotype, which she had given I Mr. Wallace before they were married. Her grandma's was also painted large from a little likeness which he hap- pened to have in his possession, and now what a happy reunion it had caused. Cicely, now told her father what had happened to her since they last saw each other. - A loud ring of the door-bell startled them; ami Eva Edwards hurried Cicely up stairs and insisted that she should wear the prettiest dress and appear at the ball. What a sensation it caused in the fashionable world when they learned that Miss Wallace, the dressmaker, was no other than the long-lost daughter of James G. Wallace of Fifth avenue. \u2666 TOM OCHILTREE'S BET. The Man Who Hit Jem Mace in the Eye and How He Did It. New York Letter lo Philadelphia Times. Most stories told of the fiery, untamed Texan are emanations of the untruthful, and the stock is supposed to be exhaust- ed. Mine, however, is of the genuine George Washington brand, and is sup- ported by plenty 'of corroborative testi- mony. Ochiltree was present at the famous light between Jem Mace and Tom Allen at Kenner. ten miles west of New Orleans. There was gathered to witness the famous bout probably the most distinguished assemblage of men ever congregated in this country to look upon a struggle between two men. The governor of Louisiana, the mayor and the chief ofpolice of New Orleans, the entire supreme court of the state, congressmen, men prominent in all walks of life formed a ring that rose above the ropes. After Mace had been declared the vic- tor the entire party returned to New Orleans and drank many sparkiing bumpers to the continued success of the champion. In one group in a famous resort were Col. Jack Wharton, United States marshal for Louisiana; the late Sam Hatch, who now lias a brother in congress from Missouri; Col. George Sheridan, who was one of Gov. War- mouth's court, and who is now lectur- ing through the country, and Col. Thomas Phantasmagoria Ochiltree. In warmly voicing the praises of Mace Col. Jack Wharton said: "1 never saw a man use his hands more gracefuliy nor with better effect. His defense is some- thing phenomenal. Do you know, gen- tlemen, no man has ever struck .Jem Mace in the eye, and no man ever will. It is an impossible feat." "Nonsense," said the non. Mr. Ochiltree. "What do you mean, sir?" said Col. Jack Wharton, crimsonly. "Just what 1 say, sir," replied the red-headed warrior from the Rio Grande. "I can hit Mace in the eye myself." "Bet you $100 and a dinner you can't," answered Col. Jack Wharton, breathlessly. "Taken," said the Hon. Mr.Ochiltree. * Jem Mace Was in the room. He had not heard the conversation. The Hon. Mr. Ochiltree, who was well ac- quainted with the boxer, approached him with that urbanity of demeanor that constitutes his chief charm, and requested him to take a glass of wine. The great pugilist, who showed not the slighest trace of his encounter with Al- len, graciously consented. He and the Hon. "Mr. Ochiltree clinked glasses, the latter holding his in his left hand. Just as the wine touched Mace's* lips the Hon. Mr. Ochiltree hauled off with his good right arm and dealt the fighter a savage , blow in the left eye that made the blood fly. ».* » * * These are not the stsrs that Mace saw. Nor are they the stars that Hon. Mr. Ochiltee saw. He had not time to see anything. They are simply put there because words fail to describe the scene that ensued. Four days after, when Hon. Mr. Ochiltree regained con- sciousness, he was in a bed in the St. Charles hotel. One leg, which was in splints, was suspended from a pulley in the ceiling. One arm was between boards and bmidaged. His head was swathed in linen. By his side sat Col. Jack Wharton and Sam Hatch with con- cern and commiseration written upon their faces. The first words that Hon. Mr. Ochiltree uttered were: "Did I win the bet?'? "Yes, you won the bet," said Col. Jack Wharton, sadly, "but you are a sight to see." "Tell me about it," faintly whispered the Hon. Mr. Ochiltree. "Well," said Col. Jack Wharton, "there isn't much to tell. You struck Mace squarely in one eye and then all of a sudden something seemed to hap- pen. I couldn't make out exactly what it was, but the air seemed filled with red hair and hoot heels. When the cy- clone had subsided we picked you up and brought you here, and here you have been for four days." - \u25a0 Col. Ochiltree tells me that when he runs for congress in this city next fall his platform will be that he "never voted for a tax nor against an appropri- ation." 1 would also advise him to in- scribe on his banners: "The only man who hit Jem Mace in the eye." \u25a0 That shibboleth might win in New- York. . «_>. . A Mexican Snake Story. Two Republics. A family in San Luis Potosi pos- sessed a very line rattlesnake. They had captured it by means or a forked stick when it was hut a baby and suc- ceeded in domesticating it. In the course-of years it grew to be fourteen feet in length, and became tame and playful, never showing the slightest symptoms of anger when handled by the children, but it would not allow its rattle to be touched. It became very much attached to its master, and would followhim around the house like a dog. During the recent storm in San Luis many of the houses were struck by lightning. The bolts were falling fast about the dwelling which had sheltered the snake from childhood. Nobly de- termined to die for its benefactors, the serpent crawled up the outside walls of the house, and mounting the roof, it stood on its head in a perpendicular position for the space of several mm utes, shaking its rattles violently at the heavens, like Ajax defying the light- ning. The electricity attracted by this living lightning-rod reduced to ashes the noble animal, and also the house. There is no use in letting the American papers have' a monopoly of these snake stories. m Not Very Hungry. Font the New York Tribune. "I am not hungry, George," she said lovingly, as the head waiter seated them at a table in the dining room of one of the Broadway hotels the other morning. ".Well, just take a bite of something then, any way, pet," he answered fondly. She glanced over the billof faro in silence a moment, and then said to the attentive waiter: • "Bring ! me a stew first, and then chops, fish balls, an omelet, some toast and coffee— and, waiter— might bring some cakes afterward." There was a moments silence after the orders were concluded ami the waiter gone; then the young husband said: "Julia, you know my salary is only $1,200 a year?" "Yes, George, but it's enough for a little home of our own," she answered. "1 used to think so,',' he said slowly, "but perhaps— perhaps we'd better board the first year." Steamship Arrivals.

CARNIVAL IS ENDED,The Children Had the Last

Day of St. Paul's ThirdWinter Carnival,

And They Came Out in LargeNumbers and Enjoyed

the Fun.

Winnipeg Carrie! Off thePunch Bowl in the Curl-

ing* Bonspiel.

The Palace Illumined for theLast Time, and the Car-

nival Is Over.

It was Children's day at the ice palacegrounds' and all during the afternoonthousands of the littleones disportedhere, there and everywhere, making theair glad with their merry shout andgleeful romp' Yes, the "kids" wereout. and it whs a sight worth goingmiles to see to watch their antics andmischief-making. The older headswere there, too, but they contentedthemselves with looking on and seeingto it that the ••innocents" didn't breaktheir precious necks in their pursuitafter enjoyment. There werecute littleponies on the grounds which could behired for a short time for a dime.It is needless to say that every "kid"with a dime in his pocket invested in apony.for ifthere is anything a small boydoes love, barring going to school, it isa pony; and the way those boys rodeand the wav they larruped those poorbeasts would satisfy an onlooker thatthey were having their moneys worth. |Some of the boys were out in their little jsleighs drawn' by one or more welltrained dogs' and they drove about with Ibeads as high and hearts as happy asthose possessed of a "coach ami four,"while their less lucky comrades afootlooked on and envied them.

There were also quite a number ofhandsome rigs and turnouts mannedand

DRIVEN BY YOUXG AMEKICA.Every style of sleigh, from the com-

mon box to the elegant Cortland, couldbe seen, besides an endless variety ofhandsome ponies and Shetlamls. Thetoboggan slides were in splendid condi-tion."wie ice being firm and smooth, andthe patronage therefore large throughoutthe afternoon. The ice rink wascrowded, too, with the youth of bothsexes, who dashed about with utterrecklessness. Aside from the numerous"dull thuds" there were no mishapsworthy of mention. At 4:30 the Indianbraves, in all their paint and feathers,came out from their tepees and amusedthe children with a sham battle. Nodoubt many a boy's mind, as he gazedon the scene, went back to a certainchapter in "Dare Devil Jack.the Terrorof the Redskins," where it is describedhow the hero. "single-handed and alone,held his own against a score of the reddevils."

For some reason there was no ponyrace and therefore no award of prizes,much to the discomfiture of the "kids."

The following were some of the juve-nile turnouts:

Annieclare Northrup.Merriam Park —Chestnut Shetland pony with toboggan.Toboggan trimmed with horns of Rockymountain sheep, antelope, buffalo anildeer, and furs of Rocky mountain lionand Rocky mountain goal: pappooseblanket ofcalf of musk ox: pony withmaroon velvet blanket, plumes, ribbonsand chimes.

Miss O'Brien—Pair of bay ponies: redplumes; two-seated Portland.

Master Bushnel! —Four-in-hand graysand bays; red, black, green and yellowplumes; two-seated Portland.

Harry Castle— Buckskin and mouse-colored Shetlands; yellow plumes;chimes; Portland.

DOG TEAMS.Fred Haupt— Brown Spaniel ''Sport;"

.1. C. Barber— Span of Irish setters;red ribbons; single-seat sleigh.

J. cN. Hardy— Team of Cashmeregoatts; white blankets with red andblue trimmings and monogram **?('"';single-seat sleigh.

The following Angelos in embryo,labored industriously carving fromhuge blocks of hardened snow imagesof the Dwarf of the Black Forest: LeoGoodkind, Ernest Me rill, Harvey Offi-cer, Jr., and Harry Butler. The workof all was very creditable. Prizes for theice sculpture" will be awarded Mondayby a committee comprising W. A. VanSlyke, George H. Hazard and Capt.George H. Moffett.

been playing on a covered rink, withice as smooth as ' glass, all winter, andsteady practice showed tho kindof curling it produces in yesterdayafternoon's wind-up game. The Win-nipeggers have also had the advantageof.playing upon fine ice in the Jacksonstreet rink during the first two days ofthe Carnival, while McCulloch's rinkwas throwing stones through the ice ofthe Carnival rink.

IX A BLAZE OF LIGHT.

The Last Fiery Display From thePalace of Ice.

"Oh, how lovely,", exclaimed a younglady last evening, as She leaned just alittle more heavily on the arm of herbest young man, while they gazed at thecascade of fire that poured down allsides of the ice palace. The sight wasa grand one—indeed, it far surpassedany other feature of the fireworks dis-played during the Carnival. Owing tothe unfavorable condition of the atmos-sphere on Thursday evening, this partof the programme could hot be used,butlast evening everything was in just theright condition, ami it was a perfectsuccess.

The grounds were well filled long be-fore the exhibition began, the crowdsdividing their time between the Indianvillage, where the customary war danceswere going on, and the toboggan slides,where a large crowd were enjoyingthemselves. Finally,' at 8:30, Col. Rob-ertson gave the signal, the lights wentout around and in the palace, and thebrilliant display began. With the ex-ception of tho* bombs, which were allused on Thursday evening, the displaywas as large as that of the last storming,while, owing to the condition of the at-mosphere, it was much more beautiful.President Cleveland a Member.

BOY MURDERER HUNG.

ANegro Boy Hang for the Murderof a White Child.

New Orleans, Feb. 4.—Jim Come;--; litis, a negro fourteen years old, washanged at Mindcn, Webster parish, yes-terday for the murder a year ago ofErnest Wren, a four-year-old son of G.P. Wren, member of the legislaturefrom that parish. The negro boy wasin Wren's employ and the little childwas playing around the negro boy, whopushed aim down and made him bitehis tongue so that his mouth bled. Thelittle fellow cried and threatened to tollhis mother. The negro begged him notto tell as he did not want to be whipped,but tin- little fellow persisted. The inegro then struck him with an axehandle, crushing in his skull and mang-ling his head so that he died almost In-stantly. The boy was charged with thecrime and confessed. He was tried andconvicted, but a new trial was. grantedon account ot informalities in the in-dictment. On the second trial he wasagain convicted and sentenced to behanged. The governor approved sen-tence six weeks ago-. Up to the time ofhis death the condemned boy seemedstolid and indifferent. He was visitedby white preachers who labored withhim, and by a colored preacher. Thelatter's work seemed effective, forwhenhe ascended the scaffold he declared hewas going right to God to be an angel inheaven. The fall was seven feet, buthis -neck was not broken. -He wasstrangled to - death ; in eight minutes.His parents, well-to-do and honest peo-ple, refused to receive, the body of theboy murderer, and he was buried by thesheriff. ;\u25a0.*.

AFTER ALOBBYIST. ;

Congressman Thomas' Threatens- to Cowhide a Lobbyist.

Special to the Globe. r , '•'.•' : .'T Washington, Feb. 4.— Some time ago

Representative Thomas, of Wisconsin,introduced a resolution which providedthat inasmuch as the subsidized Pacificrailroads are ' not making any effortto pay their i debt to"; the govern-ment, there should - .' be no morenatents for lands issued to them untilthey pay their debt. C. P. Huntingtonkeeps in Washington a man namedBoyd to look after the interests of hisroad. This man saw lit to assert thatthe Thomas' resolution was introducedfor blackmailing purposes. Mr.Thomas heard of this. To-day hemet Boyd in the lobby ot thehouse. Mr. Thomas proceeded to combdown Mr. Boyd in a manner thatwas more emphatic than polite. Hewas angry and did hot choose his words;He characterized Boyd as a blackscoundrel, and swore that if he againattempted to blacken his'(Thomas) char-acter lie would cowhide him whereverhe found him. * Boyd did not like thedose, but slunk away. The committeehas not yet disposed of the resolution.Congressman Thomas says: "Ibelievethese blackmailers can only be dealtwith' effectively as individuals byindividuals. Boyd has been cir-culating scandalous stories notonly concerning my Pacific railwaylands bill, but concerning myself. Imerely called him to a personal account,and did not assault him, but If he evertouches my name again with his soiledtongue, itwillnot probably be well forhim. C&'\u25a0\u25a0-' "

HOW TO WIN AT POKER.

The Marked Cards That Are Used bythe Sharpers for Robbing the

Innocent Players.

Gamblers, Driven From Their OldHaunts, Play Poker With Their

Victims and Use "Readers*"

One of the Clever Devices Used forSwindling— lllustrations Showing

How It Is Done.

<-*"*-******_r--»N A city the size of Chicagol_vEfrmayora may come and mayorsiffIP may go, but gambling in some-***£\u25a0 | form or other goes ou forever.$£> \\ «Just now public gaming houses,3*?-»: as they nourished under May-~s?Mi or Harrison, are closed up,i&Jii and Mayor Roche, warmestz&jH admirers sincerely hope that

-*—3_~l 'ie will keep them so to the( *~^~"\end of his term. It used to be

said that the mayor did notdare keep the gambling housesclosed for six 'mouths prior toa mayoral election. That was be-cause gamblers were supposed to con-trol a large number of votes. WhateverMayor Roche may do then he certainlyhas the public gaming houses closednow, and such of the gambling fra-ternity as remain in town are compelledto confine their operations to poker andkindred games in out ofthe way places,where the police have diflieuly in reach-ing them, says the Chicago Herald.

•.'No gambling in Chicago," exclaimedone of the "chip-charming" fraternity;"just come with me and I'llshow you."The conversation took place in a Northside hotel, and the sport remarked: "IEyou want a little poker 1 will introduceyou up stairs."

The scribe accepted the invitation,and by the time he had squandered adollar worth of chips on a pair ofkings, the game came to an abrupt ter-mination by one of the players makinga vigorous protest against the cardsthat were being dealt.

"The man who would play his money \u25a0

against those card is a 'fish.' They are'readers,' and I want my money or therewill be some fun."

"1 never allow 'marks' to be played inmy house, hut if you are not satisfiedcash in your chips,'"' indignantly repliedthe man who attended to "rake-off andthe necessary details.

The seeker for the truth followed theplayer down stairs and requested furtherinformation regarding "marks" or"readers."

"That is the rankest kind ofa game, aregular brace skin throughout. Thefellowto my right operated a 'shiner;'the fellow who sat opposite to me had a'hold-out' in his sleeve, and the cardsthey played with were marked. Yourmoney was not worth a cent on a dollarin that joint. Come with me and I willtake you to a.straight game."

The reporter had enough, but hemanaged topursue the investigation farenough to secure a deck of cards thatare identical with those used on the oc-casion mentioned. Illustrations show-ing the manner in which these cardsare made, so as to be easily lead by thedealer, are given. They cost from *?1 to

\u25a0*?-' per pack, and they are manufacturedin an infinite variety of designs.Marked cards, or readers, as they aretermed, invariably have the key or dis-tinguishing cipher on the upper left-hand and lower right-hand corners.The accompanying cut shows the backof such a card "withdotted lines runningiii/iij Li.*- icaucia itt <i^t.t i lojvo. jlu^

upper "reader" shows the number orrank of the card, and the lower the suit,as clubs, diamonds, hearts or spades:

In this case the innocent trefoilpointsstraight up and indicates the card to bean ace. and opposite the lower asteriskthe little double sprig with both twigspointed the same way tells that the suitis spades —the card is the ace of spades.

Atfirst glance one ' would say, per-haps, that it was a difficult matter toread these cards; that one who at-tempted to play with them would findhimself halting in his deal and puzzlingover the "readers." Not so. in a sin-gle half hour any ordinary person may ,learn ami become proficient in the use

of such a pack, and if this is possible,bow much more easy must it come tothe professional gambler who isaccustomed to using them. In or-der to show how easy it is hereis the corner ofthe king ofclubs. Thereader should remember, however, thnt

As has been stated, there are an end-less variety of "marks," but that whichthe Herald exposes herewith is one ofthe best ever designed because it is*, soeasily read, and yet detection is abki-lutely out of the question in the absence "

of the key. In short, the mark is buriedin a network of flowers, and the drop* -or angle of any . particular bud would 'not be noticed. \

There is a way, however, by which amarked card player can be detected.As a: deck of cards is held in the handthe upper left-hand corners are the firstexposed. With eyes riveted on thisparticular point the dealer reads as theyare dealt off. Even with the knowledge

BACK OF A "kkadki:."of where the cards fall, requires aschooled memory to keep track of hishands. While one plate is all that isnecessary to print the backs of a"straight" deck of cards, it requiresfifty-two separate plates to make a deckof "readers." As these plates are ex-pensive the institution that turns outthe above beauties will scarcely appre-ciate the enterprise of the Herald, as anexpose willprove ruinous. The youthof Chicago are entitled to some consid-eration, and if they must play pokerthis information willprove valuable.

There is another innocent little con-trivance that . the boys should look outfor. It is called a "shiner," and is nobigger than the average cuff button,which, in many respects, it resembles. .This contrivance is a thin piece ofhighly polished silver, generally ofcon-vex shape. At the bottom is a fiat steelneedle which can be run into a stack ofchips, under money, into the clothcover of a table or any convenientplace. The cards are held so that thedealer sees a reflection of the cards he.runs off. When this is used markedcards are not necessary.

There are any number of ingeniousdevices used by unscrupulous rascals tofleece the novice. An automatic "hold-out" is now on the market, which sellsfor the modest sum of*?*is. This appli-ance is made ;to fasten uponthe arm near -the shoulder. Ofcourse, the machine is secretedunder the , sleeve. -.By a slightpressure- of the arm against * the side a

clamp comes down into the hand and 4clutches *, the -.cards. By withdrawing *:the pressure the cards are drawn up tnepfsleeve, where they are retained until Iwanted. Itis alleged that a well known jChicago club uses a card, the back ofwhich is embellished with the club'smonogram, and in the tracery of thisdesign is a mark known only to afavored few. Speaking ofclubs," thereare more clubs in Chicago now than"ever before, and many ofthe newer andlower class ones are merely . used forgambling purposes.

Faro is taking a rest, stud poker is nomore, the roulette wheel is silent andthe clicking of dice on the hazard tableis no longer heard. But not so withthe great American game of draw-poker. ; Jack-pots are fashionable, an dto disturb these games is to a certainextent to interfere with private lifeanddomestic happiness.

A SPECTRAL JACK TRAIN.

The Shadows of an Old Driver andHis Mules.

Leadville (Col.) Herald. .-">--My companion then spoke concerning

our mission to this bleak and barrenspot. "About twelve years ago,*' hesaid, "an old man by the name of Cear-nals was the proprietor of a jack train,with which he used to bring provisionsand other commodities into that miningcamp which you see beneath you there".This was before the railroads enteredthe fastnesses of these mountains, andeverything was brought by mule teamsor by these jack trains into the camp.The treasures which were found in thehills were carried out in the same way.One time the old man Cearnals did notarrive in the camp on time. 'Twasin the winter— the coldest one, too,ever experienced in these hills. Asearching party was sent out to find himand his train, as the people who hadgoods consigned to him feared that someaccident had befallen him. Near wherewe are now is where he and his trainwere found in a snow driftfrozen todeath. And now each night may be :seen the jack train just as they were,but in the form of spectres filing alongon their way to the camp. Get out andwe will go down the trail a piece andsee them." We got out of the buggy,and, after fastening the horse to astunted pine, we descended the otherside of the range, on the road to Alma.After a most perilous and tortuouswalk of half an hour, on account of the?slippery condition of the ground, which;was covered with snow, my companion]led me to a point near the old Leadvilletrail, which could be distinctly sefenabove us against the side of the moim-tain. Looking at ids watch, he remarked!that it was abmt time for "them" to ap- '

pear. Alter kicking the snow from a'couple of I ould";rs we sat down, and insilence :awaited developments. My com-panion would not say a word.butsimnlv.puffed away at a cigar, his looks beingcast in the direction of the trial. Wewaited at least half an hour, but jit.seemed a week to me, a cold wind hav-'arisen, and Iwas almost frozen and wjiswishing myself at home. Suddenly my*companion clutched me nervously bythe arm and pointed to the trail, "The-sight that I saw made each individualhair on my head stand. on end, for there!on the trail, coming around a sharp an-gle caused by a boulder, was a jacktrain of twenty-three animals. Theyall emitted a faintphosphorescent glow,which made them appear all the morevividagainst the side of the hill. Theywere loaded with different articles ofmerchandise, and the last one, whichthe spectral driver was urging on withhis short goad, seemed to be loaded withHour. Every once in a while, as thetrain slowly filed along, this last jackwould lean his load against a projectingrock, as ifresting himself. This wouldcause the driver to. punch it with hisshort stick. The weird spectres slowly-passed from view around the hill, andmore dead than alive from fright, wemade our way to where we had left thehorse and buggy. My companion in-formed me while on our way back tothe city that this strange sight could beseen any dark night.

\u25a0jj""** -in- CICELY.K. M. S. in New York "News. - '."'. Mrs. Clarke had taken Cicely Wallace.from the arms ofher dying mother whenshe was a babe of two weeks old.

\u25a0*o Cicely's mother was Mrs. Clarke's'only and much-beloved child, and now'that death was claiming her darling shetook her little babe in her arms andpromised that it would never know thewant of a mother's love as long as shelived. ;'—/'; ;^;;.::::.'t'" 31"

Knowing this the young and beautifulMrs. Wallace died with a sweet, peace-ful smile resting on her calm face.

Mr. Wallace, after the death of hiswife, lived with his father-in-law untilCicely was four years old. About thistime he left home to visit England, but,alas, the vessel in which he sailed waswrecked, and all on board met a waterygrave.

The years passed on, one by one, asthey ever do, and now they numberedfive, and death had again entered theClarke family.

This time Mr. Clarke was the one whowas called, and he was followed to thegrave by a vast number of "friends andacquaintances."

But when his grand house was soldand his debts paid not one of these"friends" or "acquaintances" came for-ward to lend a helping hand to thehomeless widow and her little grand-child.

Somehow they seemed to have forgot-ten that there was such a person as Mrs.Clarke, and the sensitive woman, seeingthis, left the place where she had oncebeen so happy and comfortable and en-tered the great working city of NewYork.

Although Cicely was now only nineyears old she was a tall, beautiful fair-haired girl, and was admitted into Mrs.Morton's work-room to learn the dress-making.

In a short time Cicely became a greatfavorite with the working girls, butMrs. Morton was a cold, hard-heartedwoman, and very often when she wouldsee Cicely pause for a few momentswould exclaim:

"Wake up, girl! No dreaming here;you must work."

The rich blood would dye Cicely's fairface, and bending over, she would sewas ifher life depended on it. • "."

Thus did seven years roll on, andCicely, who was now a cliaiminsr-look-ling young creature, and the best"hand" Mrs. Morton had in her large

. rooms, was suddenly taken ill and con-fined to bed.

For eighteen weary weeks Cicely layop a sick bed, her dear grandma nurs-ing her tenderly. , v 'C- ;-.,.

But the few dollars which were savedfrom Cicely's scanty earnings were nowalmost exhausted, and Mrs. Clarkeoften deprived herself of the necessariesof life to get some little luxury for thesick child.

Poor woman, she was both old anddelicate, and could not stand this nurs-ing aim starving long, ana one morning

Cicely awoke to find the dear, kindcreature who had been a mother to hersleeping in death beside her... A few weeks after this sad loss Cicelyreturned to Mrs. Morton's.%r Lonely arid sad were her eveningsnow; the. dear, gentle one whom shehad loved so Well, and who had been so ikind to her,,n*9t her ,"" no more with a 'pleasant smile' as she came home fromwork." ,' ,',' ,\u0084' Oh, ho! her eyes rested on the vacantchair and .the timeworn little Biblewhich lay on the table beside it—thiswas all, and the void was so great thatthe poor, lonely girl would sink on herknees and. weep bitterly until the nightwas far on. .

Christmas was past, and it was nowthe last day of the old year.

To-morrow was New Year's day, andfor this reason there was a great rush ofwork at Mrs. Morton's.

"Come, Cicely, let Margaret finishthat silk, and you take these twodresses up to Mr. Wallace's ward. Thewalk will do you good!" said Mrs. Mor-ton's forewoman, coining into the work-room. .-.- :

"And you had better walk fast,Cicely, for I believe Miss Edwards is towear the blue one to-night at her grandball," said Margaret, as she lifted upthe dress which Cicely had been work-ing on. : :-v.'.-" : "".

"There is one thing, Cic," exclaimeda -dark-eyed girl, as Cicely tied her haton, "you will be proud of your name-sake and his splendid home— lwouldclaim relationship, if 1 were you!"

Cicely soiled sadly and passed outwith her parcel. \u25a0 : '

Soon she stood before the home ofMr.Wallace.

What a beautiful mansion it was!The hour was early, and, of course,

none of the guests had yet arrived. ,' Cicely Wallace stood at the foot of the

broad stone steps— would she enter bythis door or find a side entrance?

But the proud spirit of the girl sent ahot Hush to her pale face as she ques-tioned herself thus, and running lightlyup the steps she rang the bell.

A girl answered her, and she said in aclear, silvery voice:

"Be kind enough to give this parcel toMiss Edwards."

The girl turned her eyes on her scorn-fully, and laughed.

"indeed! how good you be to yourself—march around to the other door, indouble-quick time, an' don't come uphere wid yer bundles!"

A gentleman, who seemed to be agedby sorrow more than by years, stood inthe inner hall, and had heard thisdialogue at the door.

Something in the stranger's voice hadrecalled an old memory, and. for a mo-ment he stood, before he realized what"had taken -place; then he came forward_uickly, saying: . ". :t V-V"-;..\u25a0.' \ "•\u25a0•''"\u25a0• ,

m. "Begone, Jane, how dare you insult alady!" • - : *

J* Jane walked away with a disdainful"toss of her head, and muttering some-thing about a "dressmaker being alady!"

A deep scarlet dyed the gentleman'ssad, thoughtful face as the wordsreached his ear, and he turned to Cicely,Saying kindly: \u25a0--•\u25a0\u25a0" "Please walk in; lam astonished atMiss Edwards for not sending for this-work!"\u25a0if- Cicely walked into the hall, and thelight fell upon tire pale, beautiful youngface.

\u25a0\u25a0> She stood and raised her eyes inquir-ingly to the gentleman's face, and as hemet that look he started _nd then sankinto a large arm chair, with a moan.

to Just then Miss Edwards came fromfjie parlor into the hall. .

• Cicely told her what had happened,and -she rang a bell for some ot theservants to take Mr.Wallace to his roomuntil . he recovered from the deep faintinto which he had fallen;

Cicely was then leaving, when MissEdwards said:-.''l think you had better remain untilGuardie recovers; he may wish to speakto you; your presence has made him actso strangely. Come in here, please!"And she opened the parlor door. v.-/;;

As Cicely entered the room her eyesrested on the .picture of a . beautiful

i young beside it hung another," tbe: portrait ofa middle-aged lady. .-. <-;V' . For a moment she looked earnestly at

this last; - then, forgetting' herself,' sheturned to Miss Edwards, exclaiming:"Itis hers, is itnot? Where did you.

! get it?" And then looking at the pic-ture again, she cried:

[ .. grandma! poor, poor grandma!,! what will Ido without you?" ".\u25a0.*..,;'

j i .Mr.Wallace entered the room tenminutes after and found Cicely stand-ing before the picture crying.

Laying his hand on 'her shoulder her said, softly: .\u25a0P^-'XP

"Cicely, my long-lost darling, don'tyou remember your father?"

Then Mr. Wallace told how he waspicked up by a ship bound for India,and when he arrived at that place helay sick of fever for a long time.

Years passed . before Tie was able toreturn home, but when he did standagain on his native land he found Mr-Clarke dead, and Mrs. Clarke and littleCicely wore—no one knew where.

Ever since he had searched for them,but in vain; and a few years ago he hadbought this magnificent house, andoffered a home to Miss Edwards, whowas the poor orphan of a dear friend.

The picture of the beautiful younggirl, which hung beside her grandma's,was her mother— taken from a smalldaguerreotype, which she had given IMr. Wallace before they were married.

Her grandma's was also painted largefrom a little likeness which he hap-pened to have in his possession, andnow what a happy reunion it hadcaused.

Cicely, now told her father what hadhappened to her since they last saweach other. -A loud ring of the door-bell startledthem; ami Eva Edwards hurried Cicelyup stairs and insisted that she shouldwear the prettiest dress and appear atthe ball.

What a sensation it caused in thefashionable world when they learnedthat Miss Wallace, the dressmaker, wasno other than the long-lost daughter ofJames G. Wallace of Fifth avenue.

\u2666TOM OCHILTREE'S BET.

The Man Who Hit Jem Mace inthe Eye and How He Did It.

New York Letter lo Philadelphia Times.Most stories told ofthe fiery, untamed

Texan are emanations of the untruthful,and the stock is supposed to be exhaust-ed. Mine, however, is of the genuineGeorge Washington brand, and is sup-ported by plenty 'of corroborative testi-mony. Ochiltree was present at thefamous light between Jem Mace andTom Allen at Kenner. ten miles west ofNew Orleans. There was gathered towitness the famous bout probably themost distinguished assemblage of menever congregated in this country to lookupon a struggle between two men. Thegovernor of Louisiana, the mayor andthe chief ofpolice of New Orleans, theentire supreme court of the state,congressmen, men prominent inall walks of life formed aring that rose above the ropes.After Mace had been declared the vic-tor the entire party returned to NewOrleans and drank many sparkiingbumpers to the continued success of thechampion. In one group in a famousresort were Col. Jack Wharton, UnitedStates marshal for Louisiana; the lateSam Hatch, who now lias a brother incongress from Missouri; Col. GeorgeSheridan, who was one of Gov. War-mouth's court, and who is now lectur-ing through the country, and Col.Thomas Phantasmagoria Ochiltree. Inwarmly voicing the praises of Mace Col.Jack Wharton said: "1 never saw aman use his hands more gracefuliy norwith better effect. His defense is some-thing phenomenal. Do you know, gen-tlemen, no man has ever struck .JemMace in the eye, and no man ever will.It is an impossible feat."

"Nonsense," said the non. Mr.Ochiltree.

"What do you mean, sir?" said Col.Jack Wharton, crimsonly.

"Just what 1 say, sir," replied thered-headed warrior from the RioGrande. "I can hit Mace in the eyemyself."

"Bet you $100 and a dinner youcan't," answered Col. Jack Wharton,breathlessly.

"Taken," said the Hon. Mr.Ochiltree.* Jem Mace Was in the room. He hadnot heard the conversation. The Hon.Mr. Ochiltree, who was well ac-quainted with the boxer, approachedhim with that urbanity of demeanorthat constitutes his chief charm, andrequested him to take a glass of wine.The great pugilist, who showed not theslighest trace of his encounter with Al-len, graciously consented. He and theHon. "Mr. Ochiltree clinked glasses, thelatter holding his in his left hand. Justas the wine touched Mace's* lips theHon. Mr. Ochiltree hauled off with hisgood right arm and dealt the fighter asavage , blow in the left eye that madethe blood fly.».* » * *These are not the stsrs that Mace

saw. Nor are they the stars that Hon.Mr. Ochiltee saw. He had not time tosee anything. They are simply putthere because words fail to describe thescene that ensued. Four days after,when Hon. Mr. Ochiltree regained con-sciousness, he was in a bed in the St.Charles hotel. One leg, which was insplints, was suspended from a pulley inthe ceiling. One arm was betweenboards and bmidaged. His head wasswathed in linen. By his side sat Col.Jack Wharton and Sam Hatch with con-cern and commiseration written upontheir faces. The first words that Hon.Mr. Ochiltree uttered were: "Did Iwin the bet?'?

"Yes, you won the bet," said Col.Jack Wharton, sadly, "but you are asight to see."

"Tellme about it," faintly whisperedthe Hon. Mr. Ochiltree.

"Well," said Col. Jack Wharton,"there isn't much to tell. You struckMace squarely in one eye and then allof a sudden something seemed to hap-pen. Icouldn't make out exactly whatit was, but the air seemed filled withred hair and hoot heels. When the cy-clone had subsided we picked you upand brought you here, and here youhave been for four days." -

\u25a0 Col. Ochiltree tells me that when heruns for congress in this city next fallhis platform will be that he "nevervoted for a tax nor against an appropri-ation." 1 would also advise him to in-scribe on his banners: "The only manwho hit Jem Mace in the eye."

A Mexican Snake Story.Two Republics.

A family in San Luis Potosi pos-sessed a very line rattlesnake. Theyhad captured it by means or a forkedstick when it was hut a baby and suc-ceeded in domesticating it. In thecourse-of years it grew to be fourteenfeet in length, and became tame andplayful, never showing the slightestsymptoms of anger when handled bythe children, but it would not allow itsrattle to be touched. It became verymuch attached to its master, and wouldfollowhim around the house like a dog.During the recent storm in San Luismany of the houses were struck bylightning. The bolts were falling fastabout the dwelling which had shelteredthe snake from childhood. Nobly de-termined to die for its benefactors, theserpent crawled up the outside walls ofthe house, and mounting the roof, itstood on its head in a perpendicularposition for the space of several mmutes, shaking its rattles violently at theheavens, like Ajax defying the light-ning. The electricity attracted by thisliving lightning-rod reduced to ashesthe noble animal, and also the house.There is no use in letting the Americanpapers have' a monopoly of these snakestories.

Our remaining stock of Winter Clothing is rapidly meltingaway, and the indications now are that our winter stock willbe entirely closed out before a very great while. We hope itwillall go. We don't want it; we want you to have it; that'swhy every winter garment in our store is marked to sell forcost or less than cost. Such ridiculously low prices for suchReliable Clothing were never heard of before in the West. Aman can make no better investment than to buy one of ourWinter Suits or Overcoats at present prices and keep it untilnext winter, for surely never again willsuch reliable clothingbe sold at such low prices. Boys' and Children's Clothing.Capsand-Underwear are selling at about cost prices. Boys'Toboggan Suits $5.
