As the time for nomination of State officials draws near it is only natural that there should be considerable agi-tation and commotion among political circles, and candidates for the several offices ariseLon every side and hasten to presCnttheir various lelaims and the reasons therefor, for the particular place they are desirous of obtaining at the hands of the people. The northern part of the State, where the largest Re-publican majorities are rolled up, de-mands recognition: the central portion insists upon its rights; Southern Illi-nois declares itself and promises a large vote if some of its favorites are favored, and then comes Cook county with its great population which cannot possibly be ignored.

John Barnett was in town Friday. The Northwestern railroad will be

equipped with electric signals>in the near future between Chicago and Har-rington. The signal is purely auto-matic and is! operated entirely by elec-tricity, each signal being provided with a special battery, which is placed in a well underground. The signal stands nOrjmally at fsafety,'' and is set to "danger" automaticañy when the train passes it by thé depression of a lever placed about 1,500 feet beyond the sec-ond signal. . The system is so con-structed thai the signal will always go to "danger" fay its Own gravity, should the battery become weakened or any of its connections broken, so that it is ab-solutely impossible for a signal to indi-cate safety where danger exists. AH of the switches in the block system are connected with the signal, so that the ôpejning of any switch on the main line sets, the signal a suitable -distance in advance, which will do away with the many accidents which are constantly Occurring from misplaced switches. It is, therefore, evident that when the signal stands at "clear"' it is indication not only that there is no train ahead within that block, but that all the switches aré properly set for through traffic, and also that the apparatus is in perfect working order. The signals will be »'placed about one-half mile apart. ' U :• j

Hunt of Edgar county; Mr. A.M,(Long) Jones, formerly of Warren county, and last but by ho means least, Judge Joel Longenecker of Ctiok county, and its present able and distinguished State's attorney'.

! JL'PGE I.OXGK.NECKKU,' the Subject of the aboves engravìng and .this brief article, is a gentleman too well known among the many counties of the State of Illinois to need en-coniums at our hands. Coming from the southern part of the State, Robin-son county, where his remarkable ability was marked and recognized by his fellow-citizens with the gift of sev-eral honorary offices, and where he gained the honorable distinction, he had only redded in Cook county a short time practicing law when he was appointed to nil the unexpired term of State's Attorney GrinneH,who had been elected to a judgeship. j j¡Q well did he fulfill the arduous and' IMIMlusHiiu 1 dalles qf Hiu «»#1111» -tir which he had been elevated by ap-pointment that the Republican party decided at once that he should be his own successor^ his name was put upqn the ticket and he was elected by a large majority. Since then the up-right and straightforward manner in which he ca- ried out -his great and var-ied responsibilities, ^demanding justice for all and showing partiality to none, and at thè same time manifesting un-usual executive ability as well as judi-cial acumen, that his popularity has constantly increased, not ofily amÒng his legal brethren, but also among the masses, so that it can; be truthfully as-serted that, though f the last to be named for the gubernatorial race, he is by far' the most popular candidate for

I Governor of the State of Illinois among all classes, wUhout regaid to race, creed-or nationality.

It is generally conceded that the strongest Democrat who could be nomi-nated is Ex-Judge Altgelt. and his par-ticular strength Jn Cook county has been greatly* enlarged upcin, but? it is also generally conceded even by thgse of Democratic proclivities that if Judge Longenecker should be nominated he would carry the county over Ex-Jhdge Altgelt by a majority of 12.000 to 15,-000. • r £ ' T

r

As far as Gov. Fifer goes his growing unpopularity witW the Germans would render i| doubtful if he could be elected even were he nominated, while oñ the other hand Judge Longenecker would carry the German vote by a large ma-jority. ;;i| .j ; j V . I f .

In fact, taking everything into con-sideration/Judge Joel Longenecker is the most available man who could be chosèn. for the nomination would en-sure election oy un old-fashioned ma-jority, j '' ; ' . . ' k4 • ' ; ! - 1 !—.• li" " : '

1 . Obituary.

I t was with sorrow we had occasion to speak last week of the death of Samuel B. Church, of pneumonia. Since 1841 iie has been a highly, re-spected a n d prosperous citizen of JBar-rington. -'Mr. Church wais born in Mexijco, Oswego county, N. Y. iin lt>22, thus being |jS0 years old at the) time of his death, which occurred Jan. S3,1802. He was married [ to Miss Caroline J. Cumstock at Harrington, Nov. ¡8, 1848, who survives hind, as do their six chil-dren, Mrs. Anna E. Stott, Mrs. Ella M, narrower, Alice S., Jared CM Harry G., Horace H. Church. j j *

His health for the past fevjr years was not the best, and in consequence in poor condition to . withstand the fatal sickness which attacked him some two Week previous to his death.

The funeral was held Ton Monday, Jan. 25, at his late residence find was largely attended, the Rev. Alcdtt, I'ni-versalist minister of Elgin, officiating.

He battled with the trials of this liie honestly and, manfully. In conversa-tion with his family, all of whom were at his bedside during his short sickness, and to see him in his last moments, he made many remarks, expressing the true characteristics of h>8 fine principles, one of which, "in this .life there is nothing as sure as death, and when I face it, I do so cheerfully." He remained conscious until the very last, talking and advising with his family as if he was going on a journey.

0«s Newfoti i ll.ind That Hat- Great Sport C "tchlng Crab«.

I have seen mention in the Forest and Stream of one dog that caught suckers ' and another : with a prefer-ence for catfish says a writer in that periodical. I do not for a moment doubt either of these dog-fishing stories for I once knew two dogs that took great delight in catching craba not soft crabs, but lusty, hard ones, capable of making a good fight When about twelve years of age 1 used to spend my vacations at a large farm on a tributary of tbe Chesapeake Bay. Besides myself there Was an-other boy and two dogs at this houses One of the dogs was a large New-foundland. and the other was one of those medium-sized, puzzling combin-ations of short hair and-no particular color—probably an all-around dog. as concerned his breeding.

One day I noticed the large dog wading about in the shallow water at the foot of ¡the yard abd evidently searching for something. ^ I found that he was looking for crab^ When a crab was discovered he would prance around it and. after making several attempts, seize it in his month and bring it up on the be6;h and then play with it much as a cat does with a mouse, until the poor crab was either dead or helplessly exhausted. He seemed to do tins for the mere sport of the thing, barking all the time In a

RAISING A BEARD.

' As th« time for cold weather ap-proached. Mr. Austin, who had never allowed nature to hare its way in

A adorning his. face with a beard, save on bis upper lip, decided to eschew sharing and raise-fa beard. ,For once ha decided to gire the wind a chance to blow through his whiskers. ' His acquaintance among men was oxten-

If there * H any reason why he . should not Indulge his whiskers and wear a. ; full beard. he' was ¡. not •ware of i t To be sure he never be-fore attempted a full beard, and so much greater the reason why he should try it.

Fully set ria his purpose^ .he with-held his hand and let the stubble revel on his Chin. For a few days tao one took any notice of his face; then a friend handed him ton cents one morn-ing. 1

"Hair on your face makes you loclk like a guy. old man; cut 'em. " At the same time side' remarks were indulged in about the wind toying with them, and iVolian harps, at which he was oompelled to smile.

Austin finally 'wished that the day' _on which he decided to let his beard grow had boena blank to him. Final-' ly, one day he had aa appointment to meet at the depot an uncle whom he had not seen for a long time, l lo met the uncle as he. stepped from the train and grasped him warmly by ¡the hand. i ! - 1 L • • •-. ! \ I ; •4;AH - - "y î { ; : - , VI. |H I

Aa soon as it was plainly apparent that It v. as a grow as you please on ¡Austin's face the friend who had been there himself came with ad vice i "Bet they prick yotir chin and are itchy, r i l tell you what \ to do; wash them •very night and morning in tepid water with old castile soap and dry them thoroughly; that will stop the Itching.'M

Then another friend came along; "Letting your whiskers grow, hey?

I ts mighty unoomfprtable at first; but m tell you what to da Brush them thoroughly every night, and rub some baseline on them before you retire. Don't wet themr it makes them stiff and harsh."'

The next friend suggested that he wash them in coldr water, and- anoint them with bay rum. but in no case use •cap.

Another suggested the use of fresh •ream twice a day to soften 'em up. Many were the suggestions, for they •11 knew that he would be unoomfort-able until they grew out a little way.

The baby beard did make Mr. Austin's face feel uncomfortably prickly, and his friehd? kept remind-ing him of i t -The suggestions of his friends were given in all sincerity, and as be thought he actually needed something to allay the uncomfortable feeling, he began tà apply the sugges-tions One day hé washed his facej with soap and water.

Meanwhile the beard struggled along ahd gained somewhat In length but It looked rather moth-eaten, and as soon as this became apparent to the naked eye. the friends with a favorite hair-grower attacked him.

Poor Austin was not allowed to for-get bis heard. Almost every ^our In the day some one referred to it in one way or another. He stopped the

1 j softening process and started m to re-inforce the weak spots. - The matter was getting serious. He rubbed the bare spots until his; face looked as

Itt this country, where literary labor Is, as a rule, underpaid and where hardly any writer,! even in his wildest dreams, would dare to hope to eve¿ equal or surpass the three demigods of modem French literature — Dumas,* Zola, Sardou—tie opinion very gen-erally! prevails that luck — smiling, golden luqk—has forever been kind to that trio. Off and on a paragraph ap-pears i n our American press mention-ing j the fact that Zola has reached the «00,000 limit of one of his earlier novels,'Or that ''L'Assoin-moir" alone has brought him In a princely fortune. I t may also speak of the fact that Sardbu has received the sum of $20,000, cash down, merely for

J his American rights in his latest play,

or that Dumas has paid 912,000 for a bit of carvel paneling executed by Boucher—merely the gratification of is whim to slightly Enhance the j interior charms of his chatjeau in the environs«^ Paris. And all over the habitable globe the brethren of the quill straightway grow envious and curse their own luck for the thousandth time. It does seem so hard to them thi^t their own efforts are so poorly rewarded, the bruits dt their own brain almost wholly devoured by that ogre—the publisher—while those Gallic princes of the pen reap fortune after fortune—apparently with-out effort. Naturally people would think that they have always lived ijn •the land where milk and honey flow and where a .river of gold is r ftjremK pouring down on them. As Tennyson has it:

The poet In a golden clime was born, kv

. With'golden star* above. . And they—the , literary drudges of

everyj country, the grubbing, hungry •toilers of the quill—never saw any of those golden stars. I t does seem hard to them—and on them. ; I t is almost comical—if the irony fate can ever be called comical—that the man who finally helped Sardou up the first round on the ladder of fame, was a nobody, a man too insignificant to even make t$ie mention of ¡his name necessary.- This man was a j , bailiff, who in his official capacity—acting for Eomp of the creditors of 'M. |Sjartlou-t— had made-the acquaintance "of the yonng author and who had divined the realjworth of the man. In the soul of this bailiff — worthy soul — there Slumbered likewise dramatic aspira-tions and the muse working within him he had begun to lay violent hands on a crjeature of his fancy-a patriotic tragedy of the time of Csesar. in which he bad made mud of the ancient chief tan's [(Vereingetorix and which he had* chris-tened after him. He secured the ¡poverty-stricken Sardou as his co-laborer on this play, and Sardou—in exchange for clemency shown him and. for some tangible cash—only too willingly harnessed his pegasns to the heavy-footed percheron of the / bailiff. However, even then Sapuou had some pride—unknown and* debt-ridden as he was. Before the production of the play he, to the un-speakable joy of the bailiff, relinquish-ed all right and title to the authorship of the play. But the bailiff had been useful to him, and had removed some jagged stones from 'out of his up-hill path. As to Dumas, so was Virginia De-jazet a good friend to Sardou, apd the popular actress, Laurentine Leon, top, aided him materially in becoming knbwn. At last, then, one of his

, earlier plays was produced in a small theater, and it was well j |M|| ceived and well played. Bu i suc-cess did not come to him as |t had t<$ Dumas, Over night. I t took still an-, other five years for him to become f a i mous and ohje of the i autocrats of the French stage. For i t was not until after the first production of his "Pat.es de Mouche" (Americanized as "A Scrap of Paper") that he was recognized as, a

The miseries of life which so seen above, hsve touched only too clost ly the before-mentioned two geniuses of the modern French stage, dealt even more harshly with Emile Zola, the man whose literaty success—though frantic-ally combated e~en to-d xy by a not in-considerable portion of the general public in evierjr land—Is one of the phenomena o ' the century.

ZolS had to interrupt bis studies and leave the university, he suffering alto-gether too often for the bare neces-saries of life. With some difficulty he obtained a job as a common workman at to francs ($23) per month in a ware-house, and soon after another job in the magasine of the large publishing house of Uanchette Sc Co. There he stood all day long in a large hall on the ground floor of the flrm'a quarters on the Boul-evard 81. Germain—packing, sealing and expeditingendless bundles of books. For this labor he received 100 francs per UMmth. At night and on Sundays and holidSys he continued his studies and h p literary labors. He 'wrote, as a firstling, in 1863, a poem—"L'Amout--euse Coinedie"—of which no copies are known to exist now-a-days save one or two in the possession of the author. Then he tried prose and wgote "Les Contes de Ninon/* which were good and were published, but found few buyers. I n 1865 at last he met with his first suc-cess by the publication of "La Confes-sion de plaude." And thel success at last encouraged him to throw books (in the warehouse) to the dogs and to plunge headlong into journalism and novel writing for a profession. On Jau. 3, 1806, he Sent in his resignation to his employe*« and in the following year his '•Therese Kaquin" appeared, the first of ihe looks which he had written which 'created a sensation and made people talk of him. ft was the first I o >k Which proclaimed his individuaUty as a wrifler, the first which was written boldly without reserve and which -al-ready served as a prelude to what some teh years later wias found in "L'Assom-moir"—that book which i n point of copies sold and ip point of financial re-sults to {¿s author was, perhaps, the most astounding success of the age.

praise of Albert Victor. This was not only the popular view, firmly fixed in the minds of Britishers, bu t it extended even to the royal relatives in foreign courts.' J '

The marked aversion of the German Kaiser to his cousin has been shown in more than one instance. Among the apochryphal stories afloat about the latê Duke is that the Czar of Kussia once boxed bis ears and sent him home because; in à moment of anger Prince Albert Victor kicked one Of the Czar's pet dogs which tried to bite him. The ladraeems to have bad an unfortunate faculty Of doing s nd saying inopportune things. Perhaps the only exception to this gehéral indifférence was the late Duke's career as Major of the Tenth Hussars. If little else can'be said in his favor he certainly won the sincere regard and admiration of the officers and men under his immediate control by his earnest attention to dujty.

So far as his public duties are con-cerned since attaining his majority he has always been accepted as a sort of apology for the absence of his father. No matter what he did he was overshadowed by the tremendous popularity of the Prince of Wales. It was not until his engagement <to the Princess May was announced and the British public was made familiar with his plucky fight for the woman of his choice that the popular heart began to beat in ; sympathy with him. --When the > Duke did finally win the Queen's sanction to his engagement almost every town in Great Britain began to make simultaneous preparations for his wedding.

Strangera In London.

Two American gentlemen and their wives were in London, says the Vevr York Tribune, and as it happened, both couples had letters to Lady M., and received cards fora "drum" at her house in Cavendish Square.' The spa<j cious rooms were fuU of people, but the four Americans saw not one family iar face. However, they paired off, Mrs. G. with Mr. S., and Mrs. S. with Mr. G., and so got along tolerably well tUl supper was announced. Then, as the movement to the dining-rooçi be-came general, the two ladles found themselves uncomfortable. Mrs. S. tells the story.

Our husbands had strayed off for a respite, and we sat side by side on the sofa, with outward smiles but inward apprehensions. Just then Lady M. sailed up to us, almost hiding the gentlemen she had in tow, ; i.

"Mrs. G., may I introduce to you Mr.i Brown?" she saicl with the awful amiability of the fashionable British matron, and moving aside to aUow the gentleman to come forward. -To pur intense amusement he proved to be Mr. G. himself!

While we all stared at each other, not exactly knowing how to meet the situation our gorgeous hostess Went on, loftily and graciously: "Mr. : Brown IwiU take you to supper, Mrs. G.," and she railed away happy that she had provided at least one of her stranger jguests with an escort.

We managed to restrain our laughter t i l l Lady M. was at a safe distancé.

"Innocents abroad!" said Mr. G., facetiously; "but I ' l l be hanged if I take my own wife./. Come on, Mrs. S."

"But, Jim, you can't leave me here alone," said his wife, imploringly.

"Of course not," I answered. "Hunt up my husband, please, Mr. !G. JVe wi l l make up a party, and get otfr supper at all events." • A »

I fancy it was through Mr. G., who knew one or two men, that the story got about. I t caused great amusement, and served us a good turn at the same time; for after that we were introduced to à lot of people, and our evenihg ended delightfully.

But poor Mr. G. ! He seemed fated to have no identity of his own, for a few weeks afterward a lady whom he hap-pened to take in to dinner told him. the whole story, and finished up with: I

"What would you j have done under the circumstances, Mri Penfield?"

A Word in Seaaon, J

An American singer who has made an almost world-wide reputation, says that if he were ever tempted to con-sider himself fanions, he should Only need to recall an experience which he had in a Western city one winter, and his self-esteem wfould Instantly receive a check. He was announced to sing in an oratorio at this {dace, and his head was displayed in the windows of most of the stores, as well as ' on a great many 1 posters in conspicuous spots, scattered over the city.

While eating an orange one day he swallowed a seed, which lodged in his throat in such a way as to be both pain-ful and dangerous. In great haste, he went to the nearest-physician, who, by aid of an instrument which descended his throat like a closed umbrella, and

'- >• • . •• ,•• i -. • , * i

came ont like a^ open one, speedily re* moved it.

After the opération the physician scanned h|s patient's throat with great Interest for a few moments, and then said, "Whftt Is your name, sir?"

On receiving the desired information^ he said. "Hava iyou ever studied sing" ipgr» { j T

"Why, yes, somewhat/' replied the other, much amused.

''Lately?" persisted the physician.

"No, I haven't studied at all, lately,** said the singer. v • < ; r^v j ,.

"Well ," said the physician, who was a short, florid, pompous man, " I think, sir, you are making a mistake. I sing a great deal mvself, and I>e made/f^ Study of it. I don't want to eneowig i i any ope unduly, but your throat, sir,-ia a good one for singing; and although it wouldn'tprobably pay you to. give up your business to make music a profesk sion, if you could get a chance to study -under a good teacher, I believe, siri that in time and'with proper cultivation your .voieé Would give great pleasure to your friendSi" j . »1

Pocketing his fee^in exchange for which he gave thé inwardly convulsed singer a chrd bearing the address of à "first-class teacher" in {that cityj thè musical doctor bowed his unknown patient out of the door.

Thè sequel came two nights later, when the singer; who had consented to appear at a "Gr^nd Concert," ha i ' t hè ' delight of seeing his ! quondam physician, with his eyes almost starr-ing from his head, glaring a th im from the front seat of. the crowded Hall!

Juat a .Snake Story. J\j ]- Ik The B e i -lW,'Cl w . Parker,a respected

preacher of .Bremen.(Ja., is the Atlanti Constitution's authority for the! follow-ing tale: !j \

"Dr. I. N. Chaney used „to practice medicine in Carroll ton. ! He now keeps a hotel In! Bremen. He went toCarrdll-ton the other day in his buggy, ami while there traded an old debt for a good horse and started out fori Boston in his new buggy, leading-hi* new horse. • i

. - "When he was nearing the Little Tal-lapoosa river bridge at Kingaberry'a mill he suddenly heard a roaring among the trees'.! which he supposed to be h storm: looking up the hill he saw the forest in Commotion and the trCes fail-. ing and bending toward him, and in the midst of it! à huge body, which proved to be a snake. The doctor put whip to his horse and was quickly on the bridge, j Feeling the buggy jerk he looked apd saw the snake Swallow thè horse he Was leading and plunge into the river just above the bridge, and as the snake poked;his head out on thé other bank of tha stream, his tall still upon thé side of the hill,.his body reached«clear across the river. J

"The horse, having on new shoes, kicked through ithe stomach of thé snake, and the snake stopped and thé stream was dammed, and the water rose and floated the snake to a level with the bridge. The doctor jumped out of his buggy, took out a big. knife, and cutting the hole larger where the horse's feet were sticking out of the snake's body, the horse flou need otti and mounted the i bridgé. The? doctor secured [him to his buggy and drove on, but byithis time the Water had1 backed till thel horse had to swim thé low ground, but they made their escape."

February Romance.

The February number of "Romance," one of the leading periodicals of fiction, is being circulated. Romance is a new jrenture in its line, but it does not re-quire a great gift of prophecy to fare* see how surely this unassuming publi-cation will come to possess very agree-able associations in the minds of read-ers who enjoy a good story for the story's sake. I t is not the least recom-mendation of this worthy .enter-prise in the magazine line that his managers have not confined them-selves entirely to new productions, but that they reprint from time to time, by permission of the authors, stories that have appeared in other publicationa, but which will find, in a reappearance, many new readers, and which are al-ways so well chosen that those Who have read them, be fore are glad of the privilege of doing so again.

JACKSONVIT.I.E. TH., Feb. 5.—TheCen-tral Insane hospital investigation was continued yesterday.]! T. O. Itlack of 8chuyler county testified that when a oat'.ent he liad tried to run away.' * ' The attendants took my clothes," said he, ''knocked me down, and stamped upon me, and sai«U4f^ I A re-ported they would kill me.", He knew a patient named Rogers who was also beaten, one man holding him while the other did the chastising. He told of a barbarous case of recent occur-rence. *A patient named Knox from Brown county was sent home a corpse, when but a few days prior his family had been informed by letter, from the institution that be was well and get-ting along, nicely. The body when examined was found to have bruises. He thought all acts of cruelty were done without the knowledge or sanc-tion of the superintendent Instances were cited where sick patients were tied to their, beds and found dead in the morning. { ~

It was shown- by testimony of the baker that the flour used is the best made here. : The most important wit-ness was Geoage Myers, ex-clerk, and nbw business assistant of the inatitu-tlon. He has been connectsd with it since 1875. Meat is bought on ( the hoof, then killed, cut up, and delivered -tb the institution by a local dealer at S3.50 per head. Most groceries and provisions are bought in Chicago. Pro-positions for furnishing certain goods are invited from various houses.

T*'The lsame; kind jof clothing is furnished pauper patients as the bond patients. We buy all butter from Elgin."

E. L. Fry, the clerk of the institu-tion, testified that it was the custom to 1 charge to bondsmen and pauper j patients a profit of from 5 to 10 per | cent on clothing to cover loss.

The butcher testified that once in a while a small piece of tainted beef was discovered, but that it was always thrown out.

Dr.; Frank Nor bury, third assistant physician, detailed the duties of physi-cians and employes, the manner of! treating cases, and uhder what circum-1

stances, patients are put under re-straint.

One'day in early winter my hus-band received a summons to Burk's Settlement to unite : a couple io the bonds of wedlock, and it was especijally requested that .his^wife should ac-company him as he would be expected to stay all night and join in the fes-tivities. It was twenty miles tò the settlement and we reached th|» log house of Mr. Bark, the father of the prospective bride, about noon. I A dozen tow-headed children were at thé door waiting our arrival and tneyA

telegraphed the hews instantly-— 1 "Maim marm! hero's the elder, and-his woman!—They're nothing *, but

j folks; ! she's got a man's hat Onànd a turkey wing on j front of it!||-His nose is just luce dads—crooked» a cow horn squash. Alas, for* Mr.'* Morrison'» aquiline nose of whichi he was a trifle vain—"Sam," j called a thrill female voice from the «interior of the cabin, 'run quick and fetch thè old rooster, and f Til have him in the pot in a jiffy—Sal," you quit!.that ehùrn and sweep the floor. ] Kick- that corn-dodger under the bed. | Bill,] you wipe that taller offn the chèer fuir the elder's wife and be mighty spry about

"jit too." Further comments -were cut jfhort by our entrance, i Mrs. Burk In a Calico short-gown, blue petticoat and bare feet came, for-ward wiping her face op her apron,

¡j "How. d'ye do elder? How d'ye do, imarm? j Must 'scusa my head&jffibint had a chance to comb it since1' last week—Work must be did you know; powerful sharp air. ain't it? Shoo there! Bill drive that turkey out'n the bread téóugh, will yer? Sal take tiie baby's things. Set right up to the fire marm," Hands cool? Well, jest ran 'emi through Bill's ha'r, we keep it i long a purpose.

Bill presented his shaggy, red head, but' I declined, witkj1 an involuntary

, shudder. "Lawk, if she ain't aoti-waily a shlverin', " cried Mrs. Burk; •iwing in some more trood. Here, marm, take this hot corn-dodger ki yer lap—it's good as a soap-stun. " At this juncture a fearful squall an-nounced th r execution of the doomed rooster, and shortly * afterwards he was bouncing about in a four-quart kettle, hung over the fire. Sal re-turned to her churn, but in the cltement, occasion,

ex-due to this unprecedented she up^et it and the milk

went swimming out over the floor. ••Grab the ladle; Bi l l " cried Mrs. &, "and help dip it up Take keer! Don't pat that snarl of. ha'r in. Strang«, how nasty boys will be! Dick, do keep your feet out'n the but-termilk, or it won't be fit for the pigs when th* butter's, gethered. Drive that hen out, quick! She's picked up ft pound a'ready;—there. Sal—now try and be a leetle careful—if you are gwine to be splioed termorrer, yer needn't nin crazy about i t " "You better dry up," answered the bride elect thumping away at the churn. By the time I had fairly warmed, din-ner was ready, and you may be sure I did not injure myself by over-eat-Ing. Night came on early, and «iter a social discussion of the event of the morrow, I signified my wish to retire. Sal lighted a pitch knot and began climbing a ladder in one corner Of the room. I hesitated. "Come on." she said, • don't be afraid. Sam, Bill

quickly retreated on Sally's sharply advising him -Ho mind his own busi-ness.

Lemuel's quant form was clad m a suit of blue with brass button» which had been mad a for his grandfather on a similar occasion. His hair was stiffly greased with tallow,1 and his, feet encased in skin pumps. Very; soon the wedding guest* began to ar-rive and the room was well filled. "Now elder." cried the jubilant bride-; groom, "drive ahead. I'm able to pay I for having "the job dun up nice, do! you hear? Come; Father Burk, trot Out your gat*- ' " ' jj But Sally refused to be trotted' oat i she would be married where she was, or not at aiL We argued and co&xed. but of no avail and it waa finally de-cided to let her have her way. Mr. Morrison stood up, The couple joined hands through a rent in the curtain, and the cerfsmony proceeded till the solemn question Was 1 propounded. '«Lemuel will yon have this womaa to" —when down came the curtain, en-veloping both minister and bride-groom in i cloud of dust! Dick had climbed to the loft and cut the string which held it; They crawled oat looking decidedly sheepish, and Sally was obliged to be married openly,, jrj in answer to the momentous question Lem responded: "To be sure! What else did I come herS for?" And Sally: "Yaas. if ye must know." "balute your bride," said Mr. Morrison, when all was over. "I'm ready to do any-thing. elder." said Lemuel "bat skin me if I know .what that is. Just show me how, and I'll do it if it kills ma " Mr. M. drew back nervously; but Sally knew how, evidently, for she made a dash at him, and. throwing her arms around his neck, gave him a kiss that made the very windows rattle " I vum if I can't beat that" cried Lem excitedly; and hastily tak-ing a bite from a chunk of maple sugar he drew from his pocket and lunging forward to seize me. smashed my collar, broke my watch-guard in a dozen pieces, tore down my hair, and finally succeeded in planting a kiss on my" nose, greatly to the delight of the company. #Then he turned to my husband: * 'Now, elder, what'i the damage? Don't be afraid to speak out " Producing a piece of fur: "There, eider, there's a musk-rat's skin, and out in the shed is two heads of cabbage, and you're welcome to the whole on't." My husband bowed his thanks The young people began the dancing and Mrs. B. went to getting breakfast At my earnest request our horse was harnessed and we took our [ departure, for I felt sure that 1 could not live through another meal in that home with a sound stomach.

Ihave since heard that Lem said if he had seen the elder's wife before she was imarrledJ '*Sal might have gone." Alasj!

Take keer of the hole whar the chimbly comes through!" The warning came too late. I caught my foot on the end of a board, stum-bled and fell headlong, through what teemed to me interminable spaoet but U Moved to be only the room which I had left where I was fortunately saved from broken or dislocated bones by Bill who caught me in my descent and setting me on my feet remarked, coolly, "Yer better take the ladder next time."

SCORPION

Oae to Hear the Mis-ers rs Snag There.

i ln five minutes we had picked out way through the labyrinth of sur-rounding gondolas and in five more had entered tho close narrow canal where the beautiful bridge^ buttressed by two {great masses of gloom—the palace and the prison—overhung the sluggish, sullen water.

There is never a lantern now along this weird and gruesome waterway, writes F. H. Smith in Scribner's. Oh* only, sees the twinkling lamps o| the erandolaa, like will-o'-the-wisps, drift' past—the boats themselves lost in the blackness of the shadows—the glimmer of the pale light1 of some slow-moving barge; or the reflection of the stars above. All else is dark and ghostly.;

The music boat drifted sideways and the base viol who was standing, twisted a light cord through an itk>n ring in the slimy, ooze-colored palace. Espero drifted against the opposite wall—'the prison.

"What shall they sing, sign or?" ••As you please, £spero." I have heard the Miserere chanted

at dead of niigjht in the streets of an .old Italian town, » the flare of the torches lighting the upturned face of the ghastly dead; my eyes have filled when, with knee to marble floor, I have listened to the pathos of its har-monies as they sighed through the many pillared mosque of Cordova; I have drank in its cadences in curtained alcoves with the breath of waving fans and flash of gems about me; but never has its grandeur and majesty so stirred my imagination and entranced my soul as on this! night in Venioe, under the deep blue of the soft Italian sky, the frowning; bloodstainied palaee above the treacherous silent water beneath. • . I

I could stretch out my hand and touch the very stones jthat had coffined the living dead. I could look down into the same depths along the edgef of the water-soaked marble wjhere bad lain the headless body, with sack and oord, awaiting the sure cur-rent of the changing tide; Mid from my cushions in the listening gondola I could see, high up against the bine in the starlight the same narrow window in the fatal arch, through which the hopeless had oaught their last glimpse of light and life.

tn 1878 a fire broke out in the inside slope of Na 6 colliery, near Lansford, in this state says the Philadelphia Presa, and it is raging still with all the fury which the very best of fuel can give i t It is in a bed of coal 2,000 feet long, SO feet thick, and 450 feet deep and though it is covered with rock and clay to a depth ranging from thirty to fifty feet the stones on the surface are so heated that a parlor match laid on them will ignite in an; instant In one spot the men em-ployed at the diamond drill light their pipes with the superheated 1 pebbles. There is very little external evldenoe of the fire save the Constantly rising vapor and the noxious gas that fills the air and at times kills birds and small animals, that linger too long in the neighborhood.

Hie early history of No. 6 was very uneventful until about 1878. It was opened some thirty odd years ago by "Old Jim" Andrews and was worked on the water level for some years without serious accident and [; Without producing any considerable quantity of coal. The gangways were turned east and west at a point 150 yards vertically below tho surface, and a number of breasts were opened and continued to be worked until the Lehigh coal and navigation company reclaimed the place The company originally obtained control of the largest tracts upon the rental of an ear of corn per year, but as may readily be imagined in lieu *of paying the great increase of rent demahded when the developments had been made, the company 'acquired title in fee. : I t ,f U

The workings were all opened from the foot of the slope, and the machin-ery for pumping and hoisting was not only in place, but working along smoothly when the fire broke eut It is alleged] that a handful of oily cotton waste used about the machinery and carried perhaps by the rats up the slope and behind the timbers, ignited spontaneously and caused a conflagra-tion . which has since cost a fortune in Cash and coaL It Is estimated that a yard of coal in the vein weighs a ton. The dimensions .of the area in which the fire is now confined, and beyond which it cannot extend here-after indicates 1,170,000 cubic yards or tons of coal Involved. From this Tmust be deducted the small amount which * Old Jim" Andrews and his successors mined and the portion which may eventually be saved.

There are numberless instances of internal fires which had much greater start thán this and were subdued in a short time, but they were below the water level and were quenched by turning a stream of „ water into the blazing subterranean recesses. In the case of No. 6 the fire started below the water level but it spread so rapidly upward that while the slope fire was soon drowned out there was no known way of checking its progress above water level except by shutting out the air that is needed to support com-bustion. i j .j .

This was the first effort made Brattices were built across the gang-ways stopping every hole and crevice

^through which air could reach thé fire. The mine was practically her-metically sealed. All pumping of water and air was suspended, ( and met| were left to watch the result In two weeks when r»opened, it was found that the fire burned with in-creased fury. The attempt to smother it was a failure. Then an effort was made to draw the fire, and men were engaged in mining the glowing coals until one after another they were over-come by the heat and gas and several lives were endangered.

At various times men were to far gone that their recovery was dOubtfuL General Superintendent William D. Zehner was carried out in an uncon-scious condition, and for half a day he lay in the brush with excited men wording over his inanimate body. Another man was packed in an envel-ope of moist clay, with no part of his skin exposed but that which oovered his nostrils and thus he lay for six hours before returning life became ap-parent f I

The third attempt was by drowning. Dams and brattices were constructed across the tunnels j i Two dams of briok, laid in the best oement were built across Na 6, and one on the other side across Na 7, which cuts all the veins and extends tight through the entire - mountain. Water wai poured in,, but year after year there were surface indications that the fire was still raging. Wherever these in-dications appeared it was a sign that there the fire was getting air, and clay was piled upon the spot by men em-ployed for the single purpose of watch-ing for these manifestations?* At one time an effort was made to destroy the atmospheric air by the intro-duction through a drill hole of lime and nitric acid gas spd st other times other gases have been manufactured high up on Locust mountain side ánd forced in upon the burning mass "but without having the sllghtest apparent effect upon the energy of ] the Asmes

Thus the unequal oootestwas waged unoeasingly until 1890, when all hope of extinguishing the fire , was aban-doned. and it was decided to out the fire oft or rather to confine it to a definite area 2.000 feet long, by deep cuts transversely to the vein.

THE CANNIBAL PLANT.

A Storjr a« la a mi or/ au I Is Nothing

' r "** BoUie yean ago a striking story was

published in France describing a won-derful flesh-eating plant discovered by a great botanist - If we remember rightly the story recounted how a cer-tain Collector discovered a plant of the fly-trap species of so gigantio a size that h could oonsume huge masses of raw meat Just as the fly-catching plant snaps up a fly and draws nutri-ment from the fly's dead body, so this one fed itself on the legs of mutton

juid Sirloins of beef which were thrown ihto Its ravening maw. The botanist ih the story for some reason—possibly fear of having his plant destroyed ar dangerous to public safety—keeps the existence of the plant a secret and preserves it in a locked-up conserva tory.: His wife, however, who is mad« miserable by his absorption of mind— he thinks of nothing but how to feer and Improve his Wonderful and fascln a ting plant—determines to follow him. This she does accompanied by an old school friend of her husband. When the pair reach the inner conservatory they see to their horror thé infatuated botanist tossing bleeding joints of raw meat into the huge jaws of a giant fly-trap They are at first petrified with horror. At last however, the wife throws herself into the arms of her husband and implores him to give up dwelling upon the carniverops monstrosity which he has discovered Snd reared. Unfortunately, however, the wife appealing to her husband goes too close to the plant Its huge tentacles surround her and then pro-ceed to drag her in, and thé two stupe-fied men see the plantTbegih to devour dts, victim. Fortunately, however, the friend catches sight of an ax lying hear, and seizing this" he strikes at the roots of the plant Ajfew frenzied blows djo the necessary work, and the flesh -1 eating plant tumbles to Che ground and .releases from its clutches the terrified woman. The botanist however, cannot survive his most cherishod discovery, and With the ex-clamation. "You have killed my plant" he falls back dead.—-Chicago News. 1 1 ' : 'j, j ; I • .1

The POUODOSI Spltfvr flUs.e Vwf Ma-alt TJ Kar (or Mualc.

Dr. Cargill of Jamaica, writes, to the London Spectator as follows: In your article • -Qrpheus at the Zoo," the tarantula's non-appreciation of music is contrasted with the scorpion's very sensitive ear for the victlin. I have studied the habits of the scorpion for many years and have often noticed how very sensitive scorpions are to the most delicate sound musical or otherwise Under the thorax the scorpionhas two comblike appendages which are the antennae (pectinate.)

It is pretty well settled hy physi-ologists and entomologists that in in-sects the antennae represent the oiv gans of bearing. These delicate structures are easily affected by the vibrations of sound and there can ber

no doubt whatever but they are also affected by sounds quite inaudible to the human ear. The slightest vibra-tion of the atmosphere from any cause whatever, at once puts in motion the delicate structures which compose the antennae, to which organ insects owe the power of protecting them* selves against danger, %s well as the means of recognizing the approach of one another. Spiders have wonderful eyesight but I am quite sure that the scorpion's vision, notwithstanding his six eyes is far from being acute

I t is very difficult-to catch a spider with a pair of forceps but s scorpion can be easily captured if no noise is made. Spiders see their prey before they are caught in the web; but the scorpion makes no movement what-ever to seize flies Oif cockroaches until ^ they indicate their whereabouts by movements. This being the case it can readily be understood how easily the scorpion may be roused into mo-tion by the vibratlbns of music, as described in the article alluded to. If a tuning fork be sounded on the, tablo on which I keep my caged scorpion he at once becomes agitated and strikes out viciously with his 6ting. On touching him with the vibrating tuning fork he stings it and then coils himself up as scorpions do when hedged in

A Good K M of Society.

Some time ago several women in England started a society, the mem-bers of which bound themselves ' to refrain from wearing the feathers of any bird not killed for purposes of foodL the ostrich only excepted." The society grew very greatly in numbers, and its good influence is shown by the letter of j a professional [ fowler to a newspaper. A year ago, he says, he was asked to get 8,000 Kittlwake gulls but - this year he has not shot one. The gull is a beautiful and useful bird; 'and the fashion of wearing its plum-age seriously threatened I, its extermin-ation. •' j

Prehistoric irrigation canals In Ari-zona are really worthy of more notice than is given them, says the Engineer-ing News. The Salt and Gila river valleys are intersected- by a vast net-work of these canals, which antedate, at least the arrival of Coronado, in 1552. for he mentions Ihese ruins and the traditions of the Indians regarding a once dense population In this region. Modern engineers cannot Improve up-on the lines of these canals, nor in the selection of points of diversion from the rivers. The first irrigation canal in this section, the one that made Phe-nix, with its present population of 20.000, simply followed the lines of one of these old canals.

Their extent may be appreciated when It is said that in the Salt river valley alone the land covered by these canals aggregated over 250,000 acres, and the canals thegiselves. with their lateral* must have exceeded 1,000 miles in length. This country is filled with prehistoric ruins, with walls of stone or adobe and almost every acre contains fragments of pottery, shell ornaments, stone implements and oth-er remains of a population which can only be estimated in its aggregate

C M g h t T W M I I D K Tonrinl Wrccdom. ;

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 2.|-The dis-covery was made last evening that a gang of a dozen or more prisoners at the penitentiary had been friinning a tunnel and but for thistimely exposure would have been able to escape in a few days. The tunnel wa&started in what is known as enamelj shop No. 2, and the men had gone a distance of about fifty. feet in- the direction of the east wall. The distance which they had to tunnel in order to; escape was about seventy feet. The tunnel in places was six feet high and three feet wide. A pick, shovel and other implements and a sack with which to pu'l the dirt out were used. I t is thought that Varney, the faiudus Cin-cinnati diamond thief, was at'the head of the effort to'escape. William Walke, a Cuyahoga county convict, gave the officers the information on which they made the discovery. The convicts had been engaged in tunneling about three months. Walke lias agreed to give the full particulars. ^ -

Trade—Markets Well Supplied.

NEW YORK , Feb. I — R . 6 . D i m &

Co.'s weekly review of trade says: I t is undeniable tfcat there exists ts, con-siderable feeling of disappointment. More business bui-at lower prices seems to be the rule. That the volume of trade is gradually increasing, even in branches which have been dullest, there seems to be no doubt. But in an .^unusual number of cases increased sales appeared to be the result of some yield-ing in prices, so that the average de-cline in prices, of all ' commodities during tlie last week has' been more, than half of ^percent, ji- At Chicago trade in general merchan-dise is equal to *last year's, and re-ceipts have increàsed in most products, but doubled in wheat, flour and Corn; collections are satisfactory; money plenty, and prospects bright. At St. Louis the retail trade is strong,! and wholesale average and grain r^eipts large. At Milwaukee trade prospects are good, but there is little speculation. In dry goods there seems to be rather less activity as to cotton goods, and in knit goods some dullness. Clothiers are conservative and waiting fen: indi-cations of the popular fancy, and hence the men's wear woolen trade la per-plexing.

The money markets throughout the country are usually well supplied, but in part because the demand is only moderate. Collections are generally improving or decidedly good. The course of foreign trade makes the ab-sence of gold imports, somewhat note-worthy; exports Ijfrom New York for four weeks of Jintiary have been fll,-193,000, or 42.0 |e|cent larger than for the same time l|k| year, while in im-ports there lids been a slight decrease, which would point to an excess of ex-ports over import||amounting to. abont $32,000,000 for tÌ4fnionth, Against $20,-000.000 last January:

WASHINGTON*, Jan. 30. — Alliance members of the House of Representa-tives have had another conference, at which all were present except Messrs. Simpson and Otis of Kansas, and Watson of Georgia. A number of Alliance measures were discussed and one or two bills that are being prepared were read and considered, one of which will be intro-duced within a day- or two. Another meeting will be hëld again next Thurs-day night for the purpose of discussing; the sub-treasury scheme, prepara-tory to jvwhich Mr. Livingstone, early \ this tfreek, introduced in the House ' t a bill providing for the establishment of such an insti-tution. The members agreed fully upon their plan of action in this Con-gresk and it is certainly a most unique one. They will introduce a flood of bills, putting in the free list pretty mu^h, everything that the fanner con-sumes. There endeavor is to urge the passage of such bills as will decrease the revenues and insure a deficit. A de-ficit, once created, it would be necessary somë wily to meet it, and th:s could only bç done, the Alliance people con-tend, by the issuance of treasury notes. With these launched, the Alliance men think, the sub-treasury idea would be enacted into law. This was the plan agreed upon at their meeting, and it is understaod that in conformity to it Mr. Moses of Georgia, will to-day introduce the first bill.

PARIS, Feb .—One immediate result of ae recent trouble between the United 8tatessnd Chile is that the, lat-ter country, feeling how defenseless it would have been in the event of the United States' landing troops at Iqui-qne, has taken steps to secure a loan of £5,000,000 sterling (925,000,000) to be applied to building- a railroad from Valparaiso to Iquiqué, a distance of 1,000 miles. The line is to pass through Coquimbo, Tal tal. Chimba, Qobija, ; To-c<»pilla, and other towns along ; the coast. The government lias had a practical experience of the necessity for this railway, as it was frem Iquique that was conducted the revolt against Balm aceda. As the Congressionalists had the navy on their side Balmaceda was unable to get at them, as it1 was impossible to march an army across the arid desert separating Iquique, from the rest of -the country. As the loan exceeds the estimates for the new line the surplus will be expended in improving the iiavy and restoring the finances of the country to a sound basis. The loan will be floated in the London, Berlin and Amsterdam mar-ldets, where it will doubtless readily be taken up. f

LONDON, Feb. .—The Santiago cor-respondent of the Times says: ''Public opinion here is satisfied with the pro-ceedings of the Government in the i dis-pute with the United States.

Interest now centers on the precedent which the , United States is preparing to solemnly lay down for itself, and in the question whether its further demand would be such as i| itself would be prepared to concede tinder similar circumstances.

"You have dreamed what will very •oon be true," the said. "Wai t here, and Beatrice will soon be with you. 1

" I know that I am mad," the Wan-derer cried, making one step to follow her, then stopping short. Unorna was already at the door. The ancient sleeper laid one hand upon her head. .V'YPU will do it now," he said. W " I Will do it—to the'end.? she an-swered.- "Thank God that I have made you l ire to tell me how." ,. So'ahe went out; alone, to undo what •he had done so evilly well.

The old man turned and went to-< w a r d the Wanderer, who stood still in

the middle of the hall, ¡confused, not knowing whether he had dreamed was really mad.

"What man are you?" he asked, as the white-robed figure approached, j! "A man, as you are. for I was once young—not as you are, fpr I am very old, and yet like you, for t am young •gain:11 ' , . ' I f l

/•You to me? '^Therefore an enemy—and you

"You shall blefs this house before you ? leave 11 In this place, here where] you stand, you shall find tbe happiness* you have sought through all the years.1'

"in fjnorna?" the question was 1 asked scornfully. L \

."toll-Unorna." /••I do not believe you. You are

mad. as I am. Would you play the " prophet?"

The door opened in the distance, and from behind the screen of plants Key-

* ork Arabian came forward into tbe hall, his small eyes bright, his ivory face set and expressionless, his long beard waving in the swing of his walk. The Wanderer saw nim first and called to him:

' | • Keyork—%pme hete!" he said.l "Who is this man?" |

For a moment Keyqrjk seemed speechless with amazement. But it was anger that choked his words. Then he came on quickly.-| «Who waked h im?" be cried in

fury. "What i i this?" Why is he here?':'-

He threw himself upon the giant, in an insane frenzy, clasping his arms around the huge limbs, and trying to force him backward.

"Go! go!" he cried frantically.* ' I t may not be too late! You may yet sleep and live! Oh, my experiment,

A y great experiment! All lost-*- " ' "What is this madness?" asked the

t Wanderer. "You cannqt carry him. and he will not go. Let him' alone.'

- "Madness?11 yelled Keyork, turning on bitp. ' You are the madman, you -the fool, who cannot understand! Help me to move him—you are young and strong—together we can take l ^ t back'—be may yet sleep, and live —he must and shall! 1 say it! Lay your hiands on him! You will not help me?" Then T will curse you tiH you d i e—- f

"Po^r Keyork!" exclaimed the Wandeirer, half-pitying him. "Your big thoughts have cracked your little brain at last" • v

"Poor Keyork?., You call me poor Keyork? You boy! You puppet! You ball, that we have bandied to and fro, h i l l sleeping, half awake! I t drives mO mad to see you standing there, scoffing instead of helping me!" I vYou are past my help, I fear." $ vWill you not move® Are you dead already, standing on your feet and staring at me?"

"Unorna has done this!" he cried, beating his forehead in impotent rage. 'Unorna has ruined me, and all, and

everything; so she has paid me for my help! Trust a woman when she. loves? f Trust angels to euroe God, or hell to say? a sinner! But! she shall pay; too—I have her still, Why db you stare at me?—Wait, fool! You shall be happy now. What are you to me that I should even hate you?

"I. have eome to ¡undo what I have done," Unorna s a ^ not waiting for the cold inquiry;! which she knew would come if she Were silent.

"That will be hard indeed," Beatrice answered.

" I know that you will, when you know how I have loved him."

"Have you come here to tell me of your love?"

"Yes. And when I have told you, you will forgive mla." ••

coldly. " I do not find forgiveness such abundance as you need,"

"And yet you will, and very soon. Whether you forgive or not—that is another matter. I cannot ask it. God knows how much easier it would have been to die than to come here. B^jt if I were dead, you might never have found him, nor he you, though you are so very near together! ) Do you think it is easier for me to come to you, whom he loves, than it is for you to hear me say I love him. When I come to give him to. you? If you had found it all, not as it is, but otherwise—if you had found that in these years he had known ms and loved me. as he onco loved you, if he turned from you coldly and bid you forget him, because he wodld be l|appy with me, and because he had utterly forgotten you—would it be easy for you to give him up?*1 r

"He loved me then—he lovçs me still.11 Beatrice saicL " I t is another case.'', ' \ - . J '

|*j"A much mores bitter case. Even then you would have the memory of his love, which I can never have—in true reality, though I I have much to remember in his dreams of you.11

Beatrice started ai little, and her brow grew dark and angry.

'••Then you have tried to get what was not youfs by your bad powers,"> she cried. 'i'And you have made him sleep—and dream—wnat?"

"Of you." |. "And he talked of love?"

"Of love for you." ••«Toyou?" j "To me.1"

"And dreamed that you were I? That, too?" j; I a

'That I was you.11 j ' i t Is there more to tell?11 Beatrice

asked, growing white. "He isaed you in thAt dream of his—do n<|t tell me he did that—no, tell me—tell me all!" -j j

"He kissed thé thing he sawff be-lieving the lips yours. "

• More—more—rait not done yet? Can't you Bting again? What else?"

"Nothing—save last nigbt I tried to kill your body and soul-r

And why didjrou not ¿i l l me?" Because you awoke. Theif the

nun saved you. If she had not oome, you would have slept again, and slept forever. And I would have lef. his dream last and madé it last—for him, I should have been * the only Beatrice."

"You have done all this—and you ask me to forgive you?" *

" I ask nothing. - I f you will not go to him, I jrlll bring him to you- "

Beatrice turned away and walked across thejroom. j

•Loved 'her,' she said aloud, \ and talked to her of ilove. and kissl 1" She stopped suddenly. Then; she came back again with swift steps, and grasped tJnorna's arm fiercely.

"Te l l me more still—this dream has lasted long—you are ImatÉ and wife!"

"We might have been. He would stin have thought me you for months ! and years. j He Would have had me take from his finger that ring you put I there. I tried—I tell you the fhole j truth—but I could'not. I saw* you there beside me J and . you hel^ my ! hand. Ibrokej away and left hliiji."

"Left him of yoiir own free #111?"

Beatrice touched her arni, more ; gently than before, and; gazed into her eyes. ' ~'jVi

" I t can be but untrue," said Beat-rice, still hesitating . " I can but go. What of h im?" she asked, suddenly, " I f he were living—would you take me to hlta? Could you r '

She turned very pale, and her eyes stared madly at Unorna. I " I f he were dead," Unorna an-swered, j*'I should not be here."

Something in her: tone and look | moved Beatrice's heart, at last,

j " I will go with you." she aald, and if I find him—and if all is well With him—then God in heaven repay you. for I you have been braver than the bravest'I ever knew.'* .

"Can love save a soul as well as lose it?" Unorna asked.

Then they went away together.

• ! • B ' *

They were scarcely put of sight of the convent gate, whejn another car-riage drove up. Almost before it had stepped the door opened and Keyork Arabian1! short, heavy form emerged and descended hastily to the pavement. He fang the bell furiously, and the old ; portress set the gate ajar and looked out cautiously, fearing that the noisy peal meant trouble or disturb-

ance. ' I - i -"The jlady. Beatrice Varanjrer—-I

must see her instantly!" cried tbe little man In terrible excitement. / "She has gone out," the portress

replied.

"Goneput? Where? Alone?1* r "With a lady, who was here last

night—the lady with unlike eyes—j—^ • "Where? Where?* Where have

they gone?" asked Keyork, haitdly able to find breath. -' j • * 'The lady bade the coachman drive her home—but where she' lives—-i—"

In the storm of curses that folloWed the convent door was shut violently in his face. Within, the portress stood shaking with fear, crossing herself again and again, and verily believing that [thej devil himself had tried to force ah entrance into the sacred place, j _ .''•)."'

In feaifful anger Keyork drew back. He hesitated one moment and then re-gained his carriage.

•To Unorna's house!11 he shouted, as he shut the door with a crash.

, ' 'This is my house, and he is here,11

Unorna said, as Beatrice passed be-fore her, under the deep arch of the entrance.

Then she led; the way up to the broad staircase, f and through the small outer hall to the door. of the great conservatory* |

"You will findbim there.*' she said. "Go on atoncj."

But Beatrice took her hand to draw her in.

, 'Must I see itj all?11 Unorna asked hopelessly. , ! ! F L

1

Then from among the plants and trees a great white-robed figure came out and stood between them. Join-ing their hands,; he gently pushed them forward to the middle of the halt,] where the Wanderer stood alone.

" I t i8 done!" Unorna cried, as her heaift broke.

She saw the scene she had acted so short a time before. She heard the passionate cry, the rain of kisses, the tempest of tears. The1 expiation was complete. Not a sight, not a sound was spared h e r . T h e strong arms of the ancient sleeper held her upright on her feet. She could not fall, she could not close her eyes, she could not stop ber ears, do merciful stupor overcame her. Í

\ 'tis It so bitter to do right?" the old man asked, bending low and speaking softly, i «* 'It is the bitterness of death," she

said. * . r '' r, I • ; n "• • • " I t is jweil done," he anlwered. Then came a noise of Ijújirried steps

and a loud, deep voice, calling: "Unorna! Unorna!" 1 f f Keyork Arabian wa^'i there. He

glanced at Beatrice and the Wanderer, locked , in each other1s arms, then turned to Unorna and looked Into her face.

" I t hak killed her." hé said. "Who did it?1 'j >

His low spoken words echoed j i ke angry thunfler.

"Give her to me," he said again. "Shells mine—body and soul."

But the great strong arms were around her. and would, not let her go. .

^Saré me," she cried. In falling tones, j "Save me from him.1'

' "You have saved yourself." said the solemn voice of the old man.

j • -Saved ?'1 Keyork laughed. ' «From me!" He laid his band upon her arm. Then his face changed again, and the laughter died dismally away, and he hung back.

"Can you forgive her?" asked the other voice. The Wanderer stood close to them now. drawing Beatrice to his side. The question was fof them.

"Can ydu forgive me?" asked Unorna ¿faintly, turning her eyes to-ward them. i • 1 1

"As we hope to find forgiveness and trust in a lfetocome.V they answered.

There was a low sound in the air. unearthly, muffled, desperate, as of a strong being groaning in awful aeony. When they: looked they saw that Ke-york Arabian was gone.

The dawn of a coming day rose in Unorna's face, as she sank back.

" I t is over," she sighed, as ber eyes closed., jv ' ' ^ -ii'.;.

Her question was, answered, her love had saved her.

How Ho Sel inl t h f Opportunity .Had LOD; H-en Walt iag For.

Books of ai oeFtaln order Inculcate by precept and instance the need: of seizins opportunity when it offers. And it is perfectly true that suooess in life often hangs; upon this quality of prompt power. : -

An amusing example of facile wi i helping a tradesman to achieve a fine stroke of business at the one mo-ment when it ijras possible occurs in authentic annnjls of commerce. The clever trader w&a named John Nicho-las Genin. He was apprenticed in early years to á hatter of New York. But when out of hit time be was not long content to be a journeyman. He started in business on his own account in a humble but plodding fashion. He waited, and he watched for the coming of occasion. There gradually accum-ulated in his stock a quantity of low, black. soft-CrOwned hats. Sales of this ••line" were not as brisk as he had ' anticipated. Was the venture there-fore to result in a serious loss? Nat at all. j

j In 1851. Kossuth, the great Hun-garian patriot and orator, visited the

, United States tj> tell the story of an oppressed* people and arouse Ameri-can sympathy. Genin had a brilliant idea. When.tbo vessel with the dis-tinguished Istranger and hli( fellow refugees arrived off Sandy Hook the batter was "On board a boat He met the party, made his best bow and with a politeness that was no doubt real all the same for the keen eye he hád to his own advantage, he presented each patriot with a hat of new and striking pattern. The whole stock had under-gone transformation. Each left brim wa* sewed up securely , to the crown

{and a black feather waved; jauntily at the side. The gift was accepted; and decorated with the astute Genin's hats the procession in due time came up Broadway. Every one hoticod the head-dress. Gcnln*s plot was u secret .h his own breast, . "£¡1 i:J • 1

The novelty In ¡¡ h aad gear was a t success. Nobody seemed to or-

der hats in New York of' any other shape or sort than the Hungarian refugée type. A roaring trade was done by Genin and his fellow hattera. Indeed, ao well gras the entire hat trade of the city served by this pri-vate ruse o fone of its members tiilit a subscription inf t acknowledgment was set on foot aad Genin recetvOd a handsome presentation. — Saturday Evening Post y¡ -> i I .-

"Attorney for the — road, ain't youP"

Tof Trosliag.

Down on South Broadway, standing beside.a stairway which leads upstairs to the office ¡ofi an electro-medical company, says th«j New York Worlds there stands a little glass case in which is displayed the- lire-size figure of a human leg from the thigh down.

The,other day two very well-dressed young ihien were standing In front of the case. Tjvo or three other people were starinc Over their shoulders to

what it was that made the noise. Finally one young man said to the

Other, very solemnly:

' *In five minutes that leg will begin, to move." :

t ,*- - | -His companion looked at him very

wisely, pursed his lips and nodded his lead. Then they both walked away.

The other people stood in front of the case for half an hour waiting for the leg to move. Suddenly a thought seemed to strike one ot them.;, ! Then the same thought occurred to Mother member of the group, .and so, one by one, they silently moved away.
