THE MISSING WITNESS. “ Tin afraid it’s a bad caac,” I said to myself, as I laid down my briof alter reading it over for the third or fourth time, and leaned back in my chair to re consider it for about the twentieth. •* A bad case, aad 1 am sorTW-fOr tt.’’ I was a barrister, yorfng both in years and in professional standing, and this was the tint brief of any importance X had ever held. My client waa an Ital ian sailor named Luigi Bernini, and the crime of which he waa accused was rob bery; the plunder being a life long sav ings of a woman upwards of eighty years of age. which the poor creature kept hide ten in the thatch of her little cabin. The witnesses were the old woman herself, who had been stunned by a severe blow from the perpetrator of the theft, and a neighbor wha daposad to having met the prisoner in the imtnodi ale vicinity of the cabin. When Berni ni was am-'ted some days later, a curi ous foreign coin, idrmined as a part of the stolen hoard, was found in hi* Dock et. This, however, he Soounted lor, by saying that be bad p.oked It up on the rued The weak point In the chat* of evidence was a eraroely perceptible hesitatio* on the part of oae of tbe wit* nesaas. >be bad at lirel declared pOd- tively that the prisoner was the man wh m she bad Men going toward* u d Juan's oab.a. aod bad aiterwards ad hered to this statement, w.th what aft erwards appeared to bo ■ ■ B*ry, rather than real ooavi The prisoi »H-d having boon In the aatghburboo t at all oo tbe day of ths robbery, but un fortunately he could not speak with ocrtaiaty as to his whereabout.*.

She had al ready decided upon a suitable wife for nje, and was now exerting her self to the. utmost to br ng about the marriage. The chosen young lady waa present, and I knew that Alice waa much annoyed with me for devot ng the evening to my brief instead of to Dora Lyne. The latter waa the daugh ter of a solicitor in good practice, and waa herself a very pretty, bright look ing girl, who would, 1 wa* com nailed to admit, he a most desirable wife for a young unknown barrister.

He remembered that a laity and gentleman a hem he had met dur ing ma wanderings had asked him to •it to them, but he did not know wbo they were, nor could hr even make it clear where the incident had occurred. I returned home at dinner time, tired and baffled, to report my failure to Al ice and her husband, from whom 1 re ceived much sympathy but do sugges tion o: any practical value. 1 had giv en up hope, and was endeavoring to dis miss the subject from my thoughts, when late in the evening the hall door bell sounded and a message came up that a person wanted to apeak to Mr. Lestrange. Going down, I found wait ing for me a bright looking boy, ope of the shop aa-istants at Morrison'* who had been for a abort time aiding 1 In my investigation of the entries. “I think I have what you want, air,* 1 he said, aa i entered .be room, “it was in my mind all that day that I had given out that liook to some ono, I couldn't think who. and a chance word that 1 heard this evening brought it all back to me like a flash.

Thanking and dismissing the lad, I returned to the drawing room with my prise. The next step waa to com mum-, cate with Mrs. French.

Wb n a man to wall be may like one brand; when he to out of sorts or a Mule wok, another pleases hit* Bashing lets Print Those who reed the “ woman's column’’’of a weekly paper must be im pressed by owe carious fact: the fair enters are far too fond of confiding their domestic troubles to the general public. One asks for sympathy because her hus band abuses her, and samher deplores her husband’s profanity.- Others at tempt to be witty and smart at the ex pense of “old maids.” Then the “old maids ” retaliate ; and so it goes until wiser people are disgusted. What com fort can be in bringing one’s family woes before the public through the me dium of the newspapers ia to us incom prehensible. Nothing is gained by so doing, the troubles are none the less grievous, and little sympathy is given to people who have not sufficient fortitude to endure them without murmuring. These ore the women who complain that they do not have their “rights.” But when they say their literary work is not treated with aa much consideration as that of men, they say what is not true. Any one, by glancing at the list of contributors to our ablest and most popu lar periodicals, will find nearly, and in some cases, quite one-half, the names those of women. There are said to be in the United Htatee sixty lady editors, while many others have positions oo edi torial staffs. No one will deny that a book written by a woman gains recogni tion and commendation aa readily as one written by a man. Ladies no longer find it necessary to assume masculine noin* dee plumes, in order to receive attention from the world. But there is a vast dif ference between honest, meritorious literary work and querulous complain ing. and ill-advised scribblers must ex pect the fact to be recognised. —Chicago Ledger. —Tbe fkrmaUfieul Journal declares that vkietHaf to good for the lungs, awl ia Dstrmt wbo •• Are not people easily deceived ia the •laxlHy of the cigars they smoke f*‘ asked tha rep >rter. “ Perhaps they are in the small cities, bat not here.
