Was It Flirting ? I was engaged to Angelina Melville, and I thought myself the luckiest man living. Angelina was so handsome that no stranger ever aaw her without express ing adtniration.atld one did Of* weary with . the face after years of familiarity with ■ , it.. She wat well-bred, aceomplirhrd and | a heiress. I bad reason to believe that e she was very food of roe. No man could be more content than I was, as I loaned back in the first claw carriage that took I me from Glasgow into the country to the Vale of Cruii, where I was to preach a i t | few Sabbaths. The pulpit wis vacant, I ! and 1 was going to try my wings. With J - 1 my pecuniary prospects I scureiy thought I thnuld.carr to accept a call to the Vale | ■ , of Ouii. but I bad no objection to filling I • | Its pulpit lor a few weeks especially as j , Angelina bad gone to the west coast, and Glaagow was warm and stuffy and atnpid. j Casual rememtwances of elegant i«r- 1 socages boilt in Qneen Anne's style; of a J ' study where the footfalls were softened by IVraian rugs.and the doors draped in por- ; tieres of volvets; chairs and a desk, [ carved richly as some old confessional, flitted through my mind. . And I thought also of a table spread with diver and rare china, with a lady at its head who re. •embled a qneeo. And I breathed a luxurious sigh as I awakened from my daydream to a knowledge that the words "Vale of Cruix" were Icing shouted out coming to a standstill. I seised my traveling bag from the rack overhead and burned out of the carriage. The porters had just pulled four or five trunks on the platform. Two old ! stood in the road, one driven hy an old woman in a sun-bonnet, the other a red-haired boy with bare-feet; and a queer knocked kneed horse, attscbedjo a queerer old gig, was standing at a "little distance. A young man in n light aurasuit and a city family bent on turn! happiness were my companions on the platform. The former put bis trunks In the first' wagon, kissed the old woman in the sun-bonnet, took the rains and drove ; away. He was evidently the eon of . the family, come home to spend vacation. The rest of the trunks and the city family— mother, father, little the wag.™ and driven off hy the boy. When then the train moved away I was left alone oo the plalfdnn— alooe but for the station-master, who sst upon s bench smoking a clay pipe. In a moment more , the official; without looking at me, made j the remark; "Ib-ar™ htrtrnlnn has rome | "Thank you," said L The station-master took no notice of me. | but having climbed up on a stool sod ■ made some changes in a time register on , the wall of the station, locked the door, j put Ibe key in bis pocket and sauntered awsy down tbe railroad. I took bis place , upon the bench and waited. In a few, minutes a prim little old gentleman ap. , peered upon tbe top of tbe bill, carrying , one hand a tin pall. In tbe other a a tin can. and under either arm a brown paper ( parcel. I knew at a glance It waa Sic- , "Are you Mr. Msctagjrrt?" he Inquired mildly, as be ap[ftoacdied. "I want to ( know. I hadn't expectation of being ( kept so long; but you see it save tbe wo- ( men folks trouble to fetch things when I , drive to town. Step in, wottfl you? I'll just hang this parafflnc lie on behind. ( Some dislike tbe smell — maybe yon do. The sugar luef, tea and Coffee can go un- , health, air, and how do you like Vale of ' , I answered that my health was good, and that I bad not, as yet, seen much uf , the Vale of Croix. . . "No, you haven't." said Ibe old gentleman. "Well.you'1] drive through it nov ." ( be shook the rens and the old nora. { legs* to stumble" Along. And bo we ( drov4|past certain row* of brick hoao s , Very much like each other, and with tlic.

This is Mr. - Mactagrert that ia going to preocb for ua , Mactaggmrt, this is my dangbuv , Mary." We both bowed, and abc vaniabed with the parcel#. "What a lovely creature 1" aald I to' myself. "Nmflag like Angrlma, but so jfrctty!" And I found myself thinking of her as I washed and brushed my bair in the blue- walled bed-room oo the second H.ur, with white-fringed eounterpanra sad curtains, apd two black sllbouttea over tbe mantlepleoe, on either side of the china vases of roses. There were only four of us af the table, tbe deacon, his wife (a stout lady who never said more than she could belp), Mary and myself. MAry Nad spent tlie i Iu4 winter at Glasgow, and we talked [ about all she hart wen. She was self. - tusarestd without being forward, and oh. I ao pretty 1 Now.

Now and then a big bug would i( fly into the window and go humming U about our beads, or a moth would try to singe its wings over tbe chimney, and I would drive It out. The old people would ^ go to bed after a while, and then Mary and I would find ourselves hungry, ami j she would go Into tbe kitchen to find ' something good. I always held the light I for ber; and when something good wat found we ale It in tbe hack porch, sitting r sidgby side on the step like two children. * Sbe was so like a child, thai llule Mary, ™ I that It seemed no harm to ask ber to kiss ** I me good .eight, or to hold her band in ' mine aa it retted on my arm in our long r" I walks home from church on Sunday even:i«m. * The summer passed; October came " Angelina returned to tbe ctly and wrote r to me. It was while we were eating ^ peaches and Cfvam iu tbe back porch that ' evening that 1 said to Mary: "I will tell you a aecret If you will keep It tor awhile r. M,ry " , "Ob, of cousel wrill, Mr. MactaggerL " ^ "1 am goieg to be married this autumn Mary." I said.

After we bad roamed 'about tbe bazar ( 1 and bought all aorta of ' corted Angelina to a teal, and there sat ( ' down to wail while one of the 'ladies, j who, "on this occasion only," was doiog r good, onerous, bard work, brought us a ( ' of refreshments. , As we aal there sipping our ooffee two women sst down at tire next table with J ' their backs to us. "1 am very tired, are you not Mrs. , liuaseliT' And tbe other answered: ( ' "Tes, lam tired.

"1 think we'd better have tea," saic , the voice; "it'a more relreahing than , coffee. $n, bow is Mary keday ? Think , of my never asking before." , 1 "Mary Is poorly," said Mrs. Russell. , "Oh, Mre.

I J j - have never been able to ask myself tbe 1 r question; "Did I flirt with Marjr If ; t ' not, wfc^wts it? |i , Armour trig Pgr* Kin,: i J START. ' While Mreneooily insisting that he is not j * , now a speculator or gambler, Mr. Armour j 1 admits that be made hit first great fortune j ' ! by speculation. Just before tbe dote of c ' the war, when Armdhr waa a packer In Milwaukee andYorii wat telling at 84C.bc 1 ' dreamed one night that there would be a 1 ' great tumble in prices. On the wsvdown * ' town the next morning he stopped at his 11 partner's house and told bim that be 0 ' thought pork was too high. 'That's my 1 1 opinion, too," said Mr. PlankSnlon. 1 After a lUUe further conversation It was * agreed that Armour should take the first n train for New York and sell all be could. He went, sold pork, at WO, and Devcr " 1 took it in until it struck 818. maklngorrr 11 ' tl. 000.000 by tbe operation. But lie * hud great difficulty in carrying out hit * plan. Tbe New York agents of Plankiu- '■ 4 Armour were Wallace 4 Wicks, at * that time one of the heaviest firms in the trade. The big packers all over tbe P country wfre bulla on provisions. Clove. d Clncinoatti. Indianoplia, and SL * L-Hiis packers being persistent buyers. P Wallace 4 Wicks did business for all of ? them, and were bolls thcmaclrcs. They " endeavored by every' means in their power to dissuade Armour from selling pork, a but he steadfastly adhered to tbe object *' ol his visit, refused to go to their meeting Tl and would have nothing to do with the °' pool. For about three months Armour ,M came down 85- Just aa he was leav- M ing Kingan, a prominent bull operator, " said he wanted to make just one more trade. A' "I'll sell you 1.000 barrels," said Ar- I" ^ u 'Til take it," said tbe other. "When w pork sells at 800 a barrel yon will waa'l II fi' "I'll deliver you that pork," replied Armour, "when it sells at 818." Tbe packers, with few exceptions were r< luiaed by tbe break, and Armour became ril toe richest packer in the world. He ad- *' mits that the operation was nothing bnt s huge gamble. If the chwing struggles cr of the rebellion bad been delayed a few '> mouths longer be would have been ruined dl As it was, be was favored hy cireumstan- P< over which he .could have no possible c control. "Tbtt was the only risk I ever u took," be ssyi. 1" Inproof of bis assertion that be is a *1 legitimate trader. Armour likes to point P" to bis office oo Washington street, wherein *' ire employed 150 clerks and accountants A eighty of whom are engaged exclusively ® tusking out bills. He has an agent In ft Important cfty in the world. Each * morning messages are telegraphed to his T representatives all over the oounlry giving t ilie prices and condition of the market here, and each afternoon bis agents tele- 1 enpb back the transaction uf the day. * Armour himself is ao Indefatigable H worker. He rises every morning at 5. ^ breakfast at 6, and la at his offloe at 7. One * clerk hat procereded hint to open his c cablegrams. The remainder of th« force *' appear at 8.
