A Tragedy In Pall Mall.
With terrific speed they 'drove down
St. James's street into Pall Mall, and
stopped dead scarce an inch from the
curbstone. There were two men on
the bos. and an heraldic design in purple
and gold glistened on the door.
The footman bounded to the ground
and turned the knob nervously.
A slender woman, dressed in mourning.
stepped quickly from the carriage,
her eyes red and swollen. Following
closely in her wake, and steadied by

In her arms a bundle of something
wrapped in a white cashmere shawl.
Unearthly wails fell upon the air. It
was heartrending to hear them. Evidently

depths of that white cashmere.
"Poor darling!" I heard the little
woman exclaim. "Don't jolt him, Felice!"
ymd together they hurried up a
narrow stairway, at the bottom of
which I read on a brass plate, "Surgeon-dentist."
"The blamed pup!" blurted the coachman.

I HAD been poring over a fourteenth
century manuscript iu the
window seat, behind the library
curtains. The twilight and the
end of the faint, crabbed writing came
together, antf^then I suppose I fell
asleep. I -woke at the sound of Vera
Kutlierford'e voice.
| "The odd"|||jtag about it is that I

"You wllSfcH.'ine next that he

"I toate him!" Vera observed inconsistently.
"Ski" said Maud heartily, "do I?" I
couUf not well proclaim my presence
.ftftgr. these remarks.
\f "it least, I thick I do."

'-I consider him horrible."
"Ob, Maud. You know hejsn't."

"That is no excuse at all. Look at

"Wh^ shouldn't you ?'
'.'Because?he -was right."
"Which made it all the mere Scnoyinp."
"Yes," said Vera, with a sigh. I
wisned I had let her have her own
way. , /
"Nevermind, dear. You refuted him
about tfibse silly pre-something-orother
things."

Sir Garv?0'Brien about thorn afterward?
If you remember?"
"I don't. I didn't understand a
word o$?t?ir gibberish, and didn't
want td."^Quito right. Miss Maud:
women shouldn't dabble in antiquities.
Then they wouldn't quarrel with
antiquarians.
"Anyhow, it disposed of my theory
completely."
' Then, why didn't you say it at the
time?"
"Trobably ho thought mo beneath
i argument." As a matter of fact I bad.
for onee. made an effort to be magnanimous
and spare her feelings.
! "Ho is a groat deal too "superior.
stated Maud. I folt myself blushing,
i "IIo really knows a groat deal." suggested
Vera, timidly. I made up my
mind not to quarrel with her any
: more.
j "A lot of antiquated rubbish of no

could feel that she was tossing her
i head, ".lack calls him the 'lumber;

"I don't agree," said Vera, hotly.

"So. ho isn't!'' lie's very nearly eui

"A charming and intelligent fellow. I

"Nasty iittlo story-teller!" I thought
ihoy were going to quarrel, but they
didn't.
"Well, I'll admit the learning of !
your Mr. Norton." said Mabel, when
j they had done laughing, "but "
Ho isn't inv Mr. Norton." Vera oh- I

! Maud had jrone I should have felt in{

j Maud didu't fro.
"Do you really Kke him, o!d Ve?"
j slK' asked.
"Only just a little."
"Sure?"
"1 can't see what you like in him."
protested Maud, impatiently. "He's

Miss Maud.
"I don't care if he is He looks

"He's full of conceit." That really
was a mistake.

had been impatient and tacn^^^f
pointing: out her harmless errors. That
was the beginning of our quarreling.
Afterward we disagreed upon everything
that we happened to discuss. We
had discussed a good many things.
"Anyhow," contended Maud, "he
doesn't know much about anything
else?except, perhaps, chess and billiards."
"He rows well and dances splendidly."
"If he did things as well as he thinks
he does " said Maud scornfully. You
will admit that :2y situation was em
barrassmg.
"You arc rather hard on him. Maud,
I think." So did I! "Won't you admit
that he has any good points?"
"Oh?ho can talk! He's very amusing
when he comes out of his shell. I
rather like to talk to him myself." Indeed!
"But I don't believe he ever
kissed a girl in his life." Hasn't he!
"Unless"?she laughed mischievously?
"it's you."
"You*are ridiculous," protested Vera.
"He wouldn't dream of such a thing."
Obviously Miss Vera understood me
no better than other antiquities.
"Ferbaps he?why don't you leave off
squabbling with him?"
"He won't let me. He generally begins
by asking whether I am ready fdr
our usual quarrel."
"Why don't you say 'no?' "
"Because he ought to say it." I resolved
that he should.
"Then you will find him deadly dull."
"I?I don't tliiuk I should."
"Whatever would you talk about?".
"Oh?the usual things."
"My dear Ye, he couldn't! I, just
fancy him whispering soft nothings in
your/ear!" Maud langhed. Personally/
I didn't see anything to laugh at.
"And you blushing and looking down."
"Don't be so silly!"

Vera, frigidly. She walked toward the
door.
"IIo has a ginger mustache," said
Maud, as a parting shot. This remark
was absolutely untrue; it is golden almost.
J . '
"He has not!" Vera departed.
Maud hummed a queerHttle tune to
herself for a minute. Tb&i she sighed
twice?presumably once?I fear for
me! Then she went out also. After a
prudent interval I followed.
At dinner Vera and I were neighbors.
I avoided antiquities, and tokl
her amusing stories, just to hear her
laugh. She looks very pretty when she
laughs. She also looks very prettywhen
she doesn't.
After dinner our host, who is proud \
of his scenery, suggested that we
should go and see the moon rise over
Tall Hill. .1 managed to escort Vera
and to lose the others.
"Shall we have our usual quarrel?"
she asked, when we had perched ourselves
upon a big stile at the foot of
the hill.
"No." I replied; "I don't want to
ouarrel, please."
"Don't you?" she paid brightly.
"Aren't you afraid we shall be dull?"
"Not in tbo least, but if you are "
"Ob. no! We can talk about?let me
"The usual things?" I suggested.
She looked swiftly at rac and gave a
little start. I took hold of her arm.
"I thought you were falling." I explained.
"Perhaps it -would be safer if
I?held you." She didn't seem to mind,
so I gathered her arm comfortably in
mine.
"I* can't imagine you talking 'usual
things.' you know," she said, with an
uncertain little laugh.
"Everybody says 'usual things' ii
the moonlight." I explained. "See, ii
is just rising over the hill."
We sat a few minutes in silence
watching the yellow rim appearing
ami the pale light streaming down tlic
fields, dotted here ami there with tali
trees.
"It is very, very beautiful." she said
softly. "It makes oue feel good. I am
so glad you didn't want to quarrel tonight."
"Or any other night. I have been
going to tell you so for a long time."
She laughed.
"IIow strange! Do you know. I have
been wanting to say the same thing to
you."
"It was right that theoverture should
come from me." She started and
glanced at me again. The moonlight
lir up her pretty, thoughtful face and
glinted in her golden hair. "The prettiest
effect of the moonrise is invisible
to you." I told her.
"I think." she said smilingly, "it's
nicest effect is that it has made two
quarrelsome people?L" She hesitated
for the word.
"(Iood friends?" She nodded. "One
of them is very glad."

"Oh. no!" she cried quickly. "Indeed

Mark Twain Awheellng.
Mark Twain seems to have recounted,
to some one a story about a wheel ride
from Hartford to Boston. The trip Is
one that is made by many cyclers during
the summer, but Clemens evidently
was unaccustomed to long rides at the
time he undertook the journey. The
Christian Endeavor World says that
the humorist started with his friend,
Joseph H. Twichell. Twain had notified
a mutual friend at Boston of the
proposed ride, and the latter was prepared
to receive and entertain them at
a certain time. After pedaling twelve
ftflan mlloo Trunin onrl (Pml^hplH
became uncommunicative. They had
started early in the morning and the
day was an ideal one for riding. The
road was good and the scenery fine,
but each seemed to be waiting for the
other to propose something. The silent
pedaling went on until a railway station
came Into view and Twain suggested
that it would be quite a joke to
take a train the rest of the way and
surprise their waiting host by getting
in ahead of time. This seemed to be
the suggestion of a joke for which the
other was waiting, so the pair took a
train to Boston. Their host was surprised.
He said:
"You have made fast time, haven't
! you?' . .
"0, pretty good for novices," replied
Twain.
"What time did you leave Hartford?"
asked the host.
"At 7 a. m.," replied Mark, with careful
intonation.
"And do you mean to say that you
have wheeled all the w,ay here since
then?"
Twain answered deliberately and
with great calmness: "No, but we
wheeled far enough to demonstrate
that it could be done."
Marketing in Pari*.
One of the dhief tilings you will have
to battle with in your French household
is the principle of caste, and the
next is the sou in the franc. Your
cook does your marketing, and for
every franc she spends she gets one
sou. Human nature being what it Is,
it is quite unnecessary to add that the
good cook loves to go only where she
will spend many francs, and her sous
will be proportionate. I have never
beard of but one woman in Paris who
did her own marketing, and she was a
penurious but wealthy person, who put
on a long ulster and carried things
home under it herself. One day. just
as she passed a courtly Frenchman of
the old school, a leg of mutton dropped
and rolled over on the sidewalk. He
picked it up and handed it to her.
"Madam, here is your fan," was all he

The Paris Ghost Mystery.
The Paris "ghost mystery," in which'
a whole neighborhood is disturbed
nightly by the cries of a child for help, I
remains as impenetrable as ever.
Tliere is ausoiuteiy no uuuui uo iu
the reality of the cries. The Chief of
Police has listened in the vicinity of
the "haunted house," and has heard
them himself. The house from which
the cries appear to come has, however,
been thoroughly searched, with no result
The police are now inclined to believe
that the cries are a practical joke on
the part of a very clever ventriloquist.

A Maryland Snake Story,
The latest authentic snake story is
fromjforth Glenwood fnrm, near Eastott.one
of the country places in Talbot
County, Md. The other day a big
blacksnake was seen emerging from
an Ice pond. It was killed. A protuberance
was noticed about the middle.
The snake was chopped In two,
and a porcelain turkey nest egg rolled
out. Captain Noble Robinson was
tenant on the farm last year. Mrs.
Robinson raised turkeys, using china
nest eggs In ttielr nests, sne says
that fourteen months ago she missed
the nest egg from a nest near the ice
pond. She supposed a boy who had
the range of the meadow had taken
it. When the egg from the snake was
shown to Mrs. Rolinson she identified
it as one she had lost by a certain
incised mark upon it. The snake bad
carried the'china egg fourteen months
in his vermiform appendix, apparently
without having appendicitis. But he
must have thought very hard of it,
and that it was very singular that it
could not be digested.
Remarkable Lane FUhe?.
The most famous of the lung fishes
is the climbing perch of India, that
has often been found several feet up
the mangroves. These animals migrate
overland when their own streams fail
and are captured in great numbers
by the natives, to whom they are great
delicacies. Ceylon has several species
of them. The island is dotted over
with bogs of thick, chocolate colored
mud, covered by a sod of reeds and
grasses, and this mud teems with fish.
The Cingalese clear off a space and
wait till the fish come up to fill up
their air bladder, when they catch
them in strong dipnets.
Sir John Bowring says that some
lung fishes in Siam go as much as
three miles from water, and that they
have been seen flapping over a dusty
road.
A Bequest to Francis Joseph.
Among the many bequests which
have fallen to the lot of the Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria is a hotel at
Bruna, left him by the proprietor several
years ago. It was a valuable
property. The Emperor accepted the
bequest, although he did not employ it
for his own benefit, but sold It for an
enormous sum, which he gave to a
child's hospital.
