* THE-ROBBER ' By Guy de Maupassant The artist placed himself astride ^ chair and said: Well, we had dined that evening with Sorieul Poor fellowl He is now dead. There were only three 0f >U5?Sorieul, Le Poittevin and jnv-olf. Sorieul was the wildest of us" all, and to say we had dined at his house signifies wo were all drunk. y* roittevin alone retained^ his? ?Ciises-a little cloudy, it is ?ue; gliil he knew what ^ was doing. ^Ij^ m were young in those days 1 Lying on the carpet in a little room adjoining the atelier, we dis cussed in the most extravagant manner all kinds of improbable tbiug?? i f - '-i , - . * Sorieul, flat on his LacK, nis feet perched ou the back of a chair/ talked about battles and the uni form? worn during the empire. Sud denly getting up, he wont to a large wardrobe and took down a complete suit of hussar uniform, dressed him self i" it> then tried to persuade lie Poittevin to costume himself as a creiuidier. When he resisted, we seized him, undressed him and forc ed him into an immense uniform which completely swallowed him up. ' . . I disguised myself as a cuirassier, and Sorieul made us execute some verv complicated maneuvers. Then he exclaimed, "As we are now soldiers, we. must drink like soldiers !" A punch was lighted, swallowed. A^ain and again the flames rose upj from the bowl of rum. We sang the old songs which the troopers of the Grand Army sang in ancient times. 1 Suddenly Le Poittevin, who in spite of all this was still master of himself, made us a sign to be silent. After listening a moment he said in a low voice, "I am sure I- hear some one walking in the atelier!" Sorieul got up as well as he could and cried out: "A robber! Wha't luck!" and began to troll the "Mar seillaise," "To arms! To arms, ye brave!" We dashed to a panoply of arms and equipjf?d ourselves according to our uniforms. I had a kind of mus ket, with a saber, Le Poittevin a gigantic gun with a. bayonet; So rieul, not finding what he wanted, seized a horse pistol, which he stuck in his belt, and a boarding ax, which he wildly brandished. Then, cau tiously opening the door of the ate lier, the army entered the suspected territory. When we were in the midst of this vast room, incumbered with easels, pictures and strange,/ unex pected objects of furniture, Sorieul palled a halt and said: "I constitute aiyself general. Let us hold a* coun .il of w ar. You cuirassiers go and ?ut oil' the retreat of the enemy? that is, lock the door. You grena liers will be my escort." I executed the commanded move nent, then joined the troop that formed the reconnoitering party. 1 wi?s searching behind a great icrcen, a lighted candle in my hand, rhen a furious noise burst forth. I lartod oui to find Le Poittevin had ituck his bayonet into the breast of i lay figure, and Sorieul was trying o cut off the head with his ax. The mistake being recognized, he general commanded, "Be more rudent I" And again we com uenced operations. For twenty minutes at least we ansacked every corner and crevice >f the atolier without success. At ?st Le Poittevin thought of open Qg a large closet. It was dark and eep. I thrust in my arm, holding he light, but quickly recoiled. A aan?a living, breathing man?was here, looking at me '. I immediately shut the door and.| ecured it by two turns of the key. 'hen we held a new council of rar. Opinions were very much divided, orieul wanted to smoke out the obber, Le Poittevin to take him by "nine. I proposed to blow him up "ith powder. The advice of Le Poittevin prev ailed. While he mounted guard ith his gigantic gun we ran off for ie remainder of the punch and our ipes, when we installed ourselves cfore the locked door and drank > the health of the prisoner. . At the end of half an hour So eul said: "All tho same, I would ke to see him nearer. Suppose c take him by force?" I cried, "Bravo!" Each one "bed to his arms: The closet K>r was opened. Sorieul, cocking pistol, which was not loaded, as the first to rush in. We fol ded, howling and yelling. It was i awful scrimmage in the dark, id after five minutes of frightful niggling we brought out an old, rty, ragged looking beggar with n? white hair. We bound him hand and foot and roceeded to question him. He ould not answer a word. Then Sorieul, full of dignified runkenness, said, "We must try us man and pass sentence upon im " I was so driihk the proposi ez seemed perfectly natural to me. c Poittevin was charged with tbo -fense and I to sustain, the accu'A tion. He was condemned to death; one dissenting voice, that of 's defender. . We were going to ex ute the sentence ?rhen a__serious scruple came to Sorieul He Eald: '*This man ought not to die without the consolation of religion. Some one must go'for a priest" I'objected; said it was /too late. Then Sorieul proposed that I should fill that office, and I exhprted the criminul to unburden his sins into my bosom. The poor old wretch had been rolling his frightened eyes for about five minutes, no doubt wondering what; kind of roadmen he had fallen into the hands of. You will laugh when I tell rou Sorieul forced him down npon his knees, earing, "Con fess to this gentle nan, for thy last 'hour has come." ' Horribly frightened, the old scoundrel began to cry, "Help! Help !" with such strength and rig or we. were forced to gag him for fear he would arouse the neighbors. Then he rolled over the floor, turn ing, twisting, upsetting the easels, pictures,- canvases, until Sorieul got out of patience and angrily exclaim ed, "Come, let ua finish him!" With that he put his pistol to the head of the miserable wretch and pulled the trigger. ; Carried away by his example, I fired in my turn. My musket was on old flintlock and sent forth a tiny spark, to my great surprise. . Thhn Le Poittevin .said in grave tones, ''Have we th?. right to kill II this man?" Sorieul in great astonishment cried out, "Certainly, when we have condemned him to death !" "But," continued Le Poittevin, "they don't shoot civilians. They are always hanged. We must take this one to the police station." This argument appeared conclu sive. We picked up the old fellow?he would not walk a step?bound him securely to a plank taken from the model table and carried him, Le Poittevin at the head, I at the foot, while Sorieul, armed to the teeth, closed the line of march. When we reached the stu/cion house, the sentinel arrested us. The chief of police was sent for. He knew us well, nearly every day wit nessing some of our jokes, pranks and unheard of capers. He refused to receive our prisoner. Sorieul insisted. Then the offi cer severely invited us to return home and make nc more noise. The troop again took up the line of march and returned to the ate lier. "What arc we going to do with this old robber ?" I asked. Le Poittevin, touched with ten der pity, declared he looked terri bly exhausted. Truly the old fel low had an agonizing appearance, gagged, tied hand and foot and se curely bound to his plank. I was taken in my turn with rio lent pity, vi took off his gag and said, "Well, my poor old man, how do you feel now?" He groaned, . "In the name of God, I've had enough !" Tiien Sorieul became affection ately paternal. He untied him, placed him m an armchair, fondled him, called him "thee" and "thou," and to comfort him we all three ran off to make him a fresh punch. The old scamp, tranquilly seated in his armchair, coolly regarded us. When the punch was ready, we touched glasses with him, wishing him long life anrl prosperity. Our prisoner urank as much as a regiment, and when daylight ap peared' he got up and said, "I am sorry to leave you, gentlemen, but I must go." We were desolate, heartbroken, begged him to stay, but he would remain no longer. Then we follow ed him to the door and shook hands with him. Sorieul lighted him through the vestibule and called out: "Take care, my old friend; there's a bad step there! Don't fall!" A hearty laugh followed this ri diculous* story of the old artist, who got lip, lighted his pipe and, standing in front cf ns, added: "The drollest part of my story, gentlemen, is this: Every word of it is true !"_' - An Army Almanac Some years ago c* ? one of its Egyptian campaigns the British army was suddenly startled by a to tal eclipse of the sun,,for which the troops were not prepared. . To pre vent the possibility of another such surprise, which might hare had grave consequences, the British war office decidedwto hare an almanac regularly produced for the army's guidance. Such an almanac has been published regularly since that time. ' The Twelfth Juryman.

Some Suggestions That Wives May or" May Not Adopt. A writer gives the following idea of the qualities a man likes in. a wife, presumably his own wiie. However, do not mako an attempt to follow the rules too closely. There seems to be an undercurrent of eatiro in the words. "A man likes his wife to be cheer ful. He does not always concern himself very particularly about the means to make and keep, her so, but he disapproves utterly of a sad or pensive face. "He may have cut her to the quick with some bitter word, before ho leaves home in the morning, but he is extremely annoyed if he per ceives on returning any signs of the wound he has inflicted. "A man hits hard, but ho never expects to see a bruise. He has for given himself for administering the blow. Why should not the recipient be equally quick about forgetting it? "A man likes hisjvife to be intel ligent, quite sufficiently so to bo able to conduct the concerns of life and to appreciate his own intellec tual parts and enjoy stray ebulli tions of his wit and humor. "She must applaud these with dis crimination and in that delicate manner which infers no surprise at his possessing brilliancy. "But he is exasperated should she be too intelligent. His depths ar? to be inviolate, but he likes to sound her shallows, and so well does she know this that she often assumes a shallowness when she has it not."? Pittsburg Press. Did Not Seem Reasonable. A woman from some rural dis trict of New England was taken to visit an art maseum. In one of the rooms the attendant pointed out a collection of beautiful old vases dug up at Herculaneum. "What ?" exclaimed the woman. 'Dug up?" <fYes, ma'am." "What ? Out of the ground ?" "Yes, ma'am." "Just as they are now ?" "Oh, they've been cleaned up a bit, but they were found about as you see them." With an incredulous shake of the head, the woman turned to her com panion and said in a whisper that was loud enough for the bystanders t? hear : "He may say what , he likes. I don't believe they ever dug up ready made pots out of the* ground." Sickly Creatures. They were neither of them bril liant scholars, but they liked to move with the times as regards their knowledge of current events, so the daily newspaper was regularly deliv ered at their humble domicile, and it was Jennie's duty to read out dur ing breakfast time all the most in teresting items of the day. One morning after wading through tho latest intelligence from the front 6he turned to another page of the paper and said : "Herbie, it says here that anoth er octogenarian's dead. What's an octogenarian ?" "Well, I don't quite know what they arc, but they must be very sick ly creature's. You never hear of them but they're dying'."?London Answers._ '' A Story of Cecil Rhodes. Once at a big dinner which Cecil Rhodes gr.ve at Groote Schuur, where all the servants were men, a charming woman came down in a tea gown which was a "dream," but which was cut high up to the wear er's diamond clasped throat. Cecil Rhodes, who was orthodox in his notions of dress, looked at the tea gown, but said nothing. Next morn ing, however, he sent his secretary to the woman of the high necked gown with this message: "I like my vguests to dine in evening dress and not in compromise, however charm ing." Wanted Music "As I hear your piano very fre quently, Mrs. Fortissimo, ! suppose that you are ani on musical mat ters." "Certainly, Mr. Crusty." "Then, do you know who was Slaying when the poet wrote, 'Music ath charms?'" "I do not. But why?" . "Well, if you can find out I wish that you would invite that musician to play on your piano."?St. Louis Republic._ . The Bucket Brigade. The little town of Massos, in Sweden, has a female contingent, 150 strong, in its fire brigade. Tho water supply of the village consists simply of four great tubs, and it is the duty of the women "firemen" io keep these full in cases of fire. They stand in two continuous lines from the tubs to the lake, some distance sway, one line passing the full buck ets and the other sending them back. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Chinese physiognomists say the eyebrows and whiskers of a man are just as essential in their relations to his success in life as his other quali fications. (If tho eyebrows are fee ble or tho whiskers arc sickly, his iuck will bo thin and his health I poor. Therefore, to stop tho train of bad luck which nature unfortu nately has ordained for such a man, I he orders his eyebrows changed or replanted by a hair. planting pro fessor. I This is done by first carefully I pulling out tho rebellious or un lucky hairs in tho eyebrows. The ! next operation is to select a spot of I hair on the neck of tho patient or I behind his ears that would suit for ! a fine eyebrow and reduce the?e I hairs to tho.right length. I A pair of sharp pinchers is picked np with tho left hand, and, selecting I a suitably sized hair, the operator jerks it out by the root, and with a I ncedlclikc instrument in tho right I hand ho pierces a minute hole in the I skin of the bald eyebrow in a slant I ing direction, and while tho point of 1 the instrument is still on the edge of the hole the root of the pulled I up hair is carefully inserted. But J if. blood oozes out of it beforo tho hair is planted the hole will not be J used on that day for fear of inflam I mation and not sufficient nutriment J for the hair to take proper root. 1 Tho operation is repeated till every I hair in the eyebrows is replaced. Tho patient is said to experience j pain in the eyebrows for about I twenty-four hours, after which he I is affright. Tho professor charges 1 more d'or planting eyebrows than j I whiskers because of the many va I ried degrees of slanting each hair I to make the eyebrows look natural I to the man or to suit the ideas of I tho physiognomist.?New York Mail j and Express. A Noble Ambition. A graduate of West Point who is j now an attache of the American J embassy at Paris was formerly in ! structor in the Military academy, j On one occasion, says the Detroit I Free Pres?;, he was assigned to show the visiting parents of a cadet ' around the school. After a tour of the post they joined the crowd assembled to wit ness evening parade, always an im posing spectacle. The march past aroused tho mother of the cadet to a high pitch of enthusiasm and am bition for her son. "Ah, sir," she exclaimed, turning to their escort?"ah, sir, I shall not be happy until my boy gets that proud position and leads 'em all!" And she pointed in admiration to the drum major.

FORCE OF VIBRATION Buildings of Stone Have Been Dam* aged by Violin Playing. <rWhat force least expected does the greatest damage to buildings?" is ? question which a representative of .the Indianapolis News asked a well known architect. The archi tect's answer may be .a surprise to those who do not understand' that it is the regularity of vibration that makes it powerful. "It is difficulty tell," replied the architect, ltbut I will venturo to say that you, would never expect violin playing to injure the walls of a building. Yet it certainly does. There have been instances when the walls of stone and brick structures have been seriously damaged by the vibrations from a violin. Of course these cases ^re unusual, but the facts are established. "The vibrations of a violin are really serious in their unseen, un bounded force, and when they come with regularity they exercise an in fluenco upon structures of brick, stone or iron. Of course it takes continuous playing for many years to loosen masonry or to make iron brittle, but it will do it in time. "I have often thought of what the result might be if a man would stand at the bottom of a nineteen story light well on the first floor of i the great Masonic temple in Chica go and play there continuously. The result could be more' easily seen there than almost anywhere clso be cause the vibration gathers force as it sweeps upward. "A man can feel the vibrations of a violin on an ironclad ocean ves sel and at the same time be unable to hear the music. It is the regular ity which means so much. Like the constant dripping of water which wears away a stone, the incessant vibration of the violin makes its way to the walls and attacks their solidity.". The Banana of Malayan Origin. The banana goes back to the ear liest days. Alexander's soldiers, as Pliny says, joined the sages of India seated in its shade and partaking of its delicious fruits; hence the name bupientum, given tho plant, which likewise bears the name of Jupiter's fair, daughter, Musa. Now, it has been shown that the banana is of Malayan origin. How did it get to India and South America and Mexi co? The feet of birds have borne seed a full 10,000 miles, while the cocoanut has floated well nigh the world around in the great ocean currents. But the cultivated ba nana has no seeds, nor has it a cas ing like the globular cocoanut to float it around over the waters. Then it must have been carried by man. _ A Blinded Eye. A story is told of a Ceylon plant er who wanted to go away for a day's shooting. Approaching his men, he said, "Although I myself will' be absent, yet I shall leave/ one of my eyes to see that you do your work." And, to the surprise of the natives, he took out his glass eye, {daced it on the stump of a tree and eft. For some time the natives worked like elephants, but at last one .of them, seizing his tin in which he carried his food, approached tho tree and placed it over the eye. As soon as they saw that they were not being watched they all lay down and slept peacefully until sunset. A Marshal's Retort. The Marshal de Bassompierre was employed by Henry IV. on sev eral embassies. He once told the king that when he went as.embas sador to Spain he rode into Madrid on tho most beautiful mulo he had ever seen, which had been sent by the Spanish monarch for his special use. "Ho, ha ! What a comical sight 1" laughed out tho boisterous Icing. "An ass upon a mule !" "Ye3, sire," said Bassompierre coolly, "I represented your majes ty." _. . Music and Animate. An eminent violinist, Herr Bak er, tested the sensitiveness to music of each of the animals in the zoolog ical gardens of Germany. The in fluence of the violin was the greatest on the puma, whoso moods changed rapidly as the nature of the music changed, becoming very much ex cited and nervous when quicksteps were played. Wolves showed an ap preciative intcrcsi, lions and hyenas wero terrified, leopards were uncon cerned and monkeys curious. The Surface of Qold.
