?AAAAAAA,A,AA,A,A.AAAAAAAAAAAa THE , .3".8t0" Well M: Couple EXILE * v By CALOWELL LIP8ETT "I expect you speak the sahib who steals my window curtains. When traveler come, no curtains my windows, and I very much ehame. If you, great burra sahib, not wiflhlspe^k, what can do ?" Having entirely exhausted the re sources of Hifl English vocabulary the dak bungalow khansamah paus ed for breath and to see what effect tho extent and variety of his ac quaintance with our tonguo would have upon me. The speech, how ever, was a mere flash in the pan, carefully committed to memory for the occasion, and I had to have re course to the vernacular to learn tho history of his woes. It appeared that there was an old sahib, a very old sahib, who lived in a house in the woods close by, and whenever the khansamah put up new curtains ho came and took them away, and if tho khansamah tried tor prevent him he got beaten, for he was a very fierce ole* man and had been a great bahad?r in his day. "What did the man want the cur tains for?" 'Tor clothes." "How long had he lived in the woods?" "Oh, a very long time; perhaps a* hundred years/' That was all that I could learn about the matter. I told xhe khan samah to lock up the curtains in future and only to bring them out when some traveler was in the bungalow. I would speak to the sa hib about it when I saw him, and then I straightway forgot the whole episode. It was two or three mornings aft erward that I was out for a stroll in the woods soon after sunrise. It was late autumn, and here in the temperate Kulu valley the fierce In dian sun does not reach its full in tensity. There was a crisp fresh ness in the air almost like an Eng lish morning, and after the bare, brown, sun steeped plains of tho Punjab, from which I had lately come, the lush green of the under growth was cool and refreshing to the eye. The large rosy cheeked Kulu apples, gleamed through the branches of the orchards. But for the bite already latent in the slant ing rays of the sun I might have 'been in Devonshire. Presently I was aware of a curi ous figure approaching me. It was a tall old man with bent shoulders and long white hair falling about the collar of his coat. His clothes, though neatly made, were of a cheap white calico so largely in use amor g the natives, and his shoes were of untanned cowhide. His hat was of plaited straw. Everything about him was evidently homemade ex cept one thing?round his waist was wound a red cummerbund, which gave him the air of a stage brigand of venerable aspect. "Ha, sir," said ho, following the direction of my gaze as ho came near, "the scarlet, the grand old scarlet ! It reminds me of the good old days when I wore her majesty's .uniform in the Crimea before ever I camo to this country." As I looked closer I recognized the pattern of the red rep of the curtains in the dak bungalow. This was the khan soniah's enemy. I thought the scarlet might be a tender subject, so I spoke of ether things. It appeared that he was specially interested in the mineral wealth of the valley. "Thege is gold in those hills," he said. ''There is gold at the sources of this stream which flows beside our feet. But I have not the means to reach its fastnesses nor the ma chinery to pluck it from the bowels of the earth." As he talked I had leisure to ob serve him more closely. In a land where tho fierce heat of tho sun dries up the marrow of^a man's vi tality and shortens his life by a span, where at sixty even a strong man is at the end of his life, he was evidently the age he claimed. His eye was already growing lusterless and his step losing, the firm tread of health. His hands were seamed with toil, but' he had a fine head, the arched brow and the inward seeing eyes of the dreamer, and he spoke like a man who, even in this back water of life had been at pains to keep himself abreast of the world. How did such ? mon como to be stranded in this wilderness? Later I heard his story from some of tho planters in the valley. Twenty-seven years before he had been my own predecessor as deputy commissioner of the. adjoining dis trict in British India. Then, o&, now* ho had visions of tho mineral .wealth of the country. He went into partnership with a man who cheated him ana sank all his mon ey in ft mine that .Ti6vcr ?xibieu. finally the partner asked for a sum of money to realize the ore. Spencer borrowed 40,000"* rupees from the government treasury "for tho pur pose. The partner fled with. the money and left him unable to pay. When the timo camo to account for tho amount in the treasury, a friendly commissioner warned him of his impending arrest on a charge of felony, and he had just tune to ; rise in the night with his wife and - flee across tho border into this na five state, whore he hod remain ever since. On the night of their night he end his wife had turned the catilo out of the first shed they had come to in order to rest for the night, and in that shed they had now lived for twenty-seven years. From year's end to year's end they neyer saw a white face except ono of the few planters in the val ley, an officiai like myself, who crossed the border for a holiday, or a stray globo trotter. Here among a people distinct in color and alien in speech and thought the cultivat ed man and the delicately nurtured i wocian had lived out their life alone. In this fertile valley the earth produced all that was necessary to sustain life. The natives gave them of their kind, and, like the natives, they lived mostly upon grain, rice and other vegetable products. Oc casionally a planter would send them a barrel of apples or a case of whisky. Spencer would accept such presents' as he might have received under happier circumstances, but he never took money. The pride of a gentleman still burned in him, though it had no respect for dak bungalow curtains. Spencer had lined the mud walls of the cowshed with planks and made a few rough tables and chairs. Everything was scrupulously clean, but the hut was almost as bare and comfortless as it had been in its original condition as a barn. He kept a diary in which he would note the date on /which the cuckoo was first heard in the valley, how one season the pear trees all burst into bloom for the second time, an un usual phenomenon, or how in an other year the water channels on the hillsides all dried up because there was so little snow to melt, a drought ensued and there was scarcity in the land These were now his life's interests. Mrs. Spencer when I knew her was a little fat woman with round cheeks which were now getting weather beaten, but she had brave gray eyes. It was only necessary to see the two together to know that, through all the years of trial that had passed over them a perfect comradeship remained between them. After all Spencer had his compen sation. Whatever troubles he may have endured, he had tho one great blessing which so many men lack? his life had not been left incom plete or maimed by an unsympa thetic helpmate. Once I found myself looking at my wife with alien eyes and won dering if I were thus outcast by so ciety, and I deserved it, whether she would cleave to me through good report and through evil re port as this old woman stood by her husband. 3Iy wife caught my eye and said: "What is it, dear? What treason are you thinking against me now?" I told her. "Traitor I" she whispered as she nestled her hand into mine, and then she sighed : "Poor old things I I wish we could do something to brighten their live3 for them. Next Sunday is Michaelmas day. Let's ask them both here to dinner. If s not much, and even such as it is it may only help to show them the darkness of their ordinary lives?to remind them of things that it would be better to forget." The eventful day arrived and brought wiiii it Spencer in his sash of the "grand old scarlet," while his wife had a complete gown of the same material. The excitement and the wine brought a flush to the old woman's cheeks whioh showed in their red lines beneath the skin like cracks in very old china. The dinner was over, and the pair insisted on giving us a song in return for our hospitality. They stood up hand in hand, and the song that they sang was "Auld Lang Syne." I looked at my wife, and her eyes were full of unshed tears.?Golden Penny. Scrofula, Ulcers, ?ancer, Skin Troubles. At Last a Cure?Trial Treatment Free. In your skin palid, pale or blood thin ?

The Beautiful City at Night Looks Llko a Vast Panorama. .Venice has been sentimentalized by tho Genntin and by the young lady of all nations. Lovers have found its moonlight and its water more expressive than tho moonlight and tho water of any other chore. Byron, Musset, Wagner, Browning, havo loved and died there. It has been painted by every painter. It has become a phrase almost as mean ingless as Arcadia. And indeed it is difficult to think of Yenice as being quite a real place, its streets of water as being exactly real streets, its gondolas as being no moro than the equivalent of han soms, its union of those elsewhere opposed sentiments of the sea, the canal, the island, walled and tower ed land, as being quite in the nat ural order of things. I bad had my dreams of Venice, but nothing I had dreamed was quite as impossible as what I found. That first night as I looked at tho miraculous, many colored facade of St. Mark's, tho pale, faintly tinged marble of the*doges' palace, I seem ed, after all, not to have left Lon don, but to bo still at the Alhnm bra, watching a marvelous ballet, and, as it pleases me to bo, in the very midst of it, among the glitter ing "properties/' knocking at every step against some fragment of deli cately unreal scenery, losing nono of tho illusion by being so close to its framework. The doges' palace look ed exactly like beautifully painted canvas, as if it wero stretched on frames and ready to be shunted into the wings for a fresh "set" to come forward. :Ycs, it is difficult to believe in Venice, most of all when one is ir Venice.?Saturday Review. Teaching Respect For Old Dogs. In a certain skirmish an officer got a slight scratch on tho leg. Tho wound was a matter of great glory to him, and ho nursed it through after days, growing lamer with cv ery fear that the memory of his bravery might pass but of mind. One day late in life as he sat nursing his leg and pondering the glorious past a young man visiting the family for the first time ap proached and sympathetically re marked: "Lame, colonel?" "Yes, sir," after a pause and with inexpressible solemnity, "I am lame." "Been riding, sir ?" "No," with rebuking sternness; "I have not been riding." "A slip down on the pavement?" "No, sir," with actual ferocity. "Perhaps, then, you have sprain ed your ankle, Birr' With a painful slowness the old man lifted his pet leg in both hands, set it carefully down upon tho floor, rose slowly from his chair and, look ing down upon the unfortunate youth with mingled pity and wrath, burst forth in the sublimity of rage: <trjo and read the history of your country, you confounded young pup py!"?Regiment. Kept His Eye on the Windows. Most businesses are distinguished nowadays by keen competition, and I heard a story the other day which shows that the humble occupation of window cleaning is not exempt from it. In a certain studio in the city a window cleaner got a contract job to clean the windows by the year. He wasn't so punctual about the cleaning operation as he was about drawing his pay, nnd after bearing with bis eccentricities for awhile ho was sacked, and another man got the job. Things went better for a time, but one day the ousted man stuck his head in at the door of the stu dio and yelled, "Am I to get the job to clane thim winders?" "No," was the reply ; "we bave a windoY?* cleaner already." "No, you hain't," was shouted back; "he fell four stories this mornin' at'Briggate, and he'll clane winders no more." It turned out that the statement was true, and tho enterprising man was reinstated in his old job on the understanding that he was to pay strict attention to both extremities of the contract.?Glasgow Times.

Ho said that several years ago there was a minister )f the Gospel in his neighborhood who was noted fpr his piety. About two years ago there came a ehange, and the minister, whom we will call Rev. Mr. Jones, was transferred to a dif ferent part of tho state. Only tho day before he arrived in Memphis there had been another change, and Mr. Jones was given the chaplaincy of tho state penitentiary. That day, the Memphis visitor re lates he happened to run across ono of the minister's old parishioners, aud, thinking ho would bo interested in the latter's good fortune, said: "Say. Smith, did you hear that Rev. Mr. Jones had been sent to the peni tentiary?" "Good for him," responded Smith, laconically, "I always thought he would get thero some day. He was always such an all-fired rascal when ho was around hero, I know ho would wind up behind the bars." When his astonished informant re membered that Smith had been known as one of Dr. Jones' greatest hench men ho could hardly get up the cour age to tell him of his error.?Memphis Soimitar. - MM mm ? ?
