O j Stay, there was
h also a high school,
* the Gumblctown
Free Academy as it was called, at which
..( youth ol both sexes applied their
u'oy lips to the l'ierian Spring with ediryir
g results. The school prospered
ivilh i large and unctuous prosperity,
md the number ol its scholars increased
utd multiplied until it became necessary
.o engage an additional professor. He
tine troin?no matter where?it was
,\er the hills and far away. And he
looked it.
lie was a wonderfully handsome man,
,iit'i hi.- iimiiu was uuruinioincw PpunK.
lie was a chemist by profession, aud he
M, .te^9.i fei?er
vas well nigh impossible to induce him
) communicate with anybpdy else; especially
if anything else had long hair
i id wore skirts. I'ro'essor Spunk had
id fear of unmcuticnable chloride nor of
indescribable oxides; but he was afraid
>f woman, lovely woman. She was not
afraid of him, however; but, so fur as
she was of Gumblctowu extraction, she
spent much of her time in endeavoring
to get a good look at the Professor's
eyes, which were said to be very hcautilul.
ll irtholomew Spunk took up his abode
in a mo?s-rovered boanding-house, where
tl.e (lied steaks anil the coiree grounds
sung together us morning stars, and the
cold boiled ham caine out on the eastern
horizon as tlie sun slipped down the
west. The Professor came and went in
silence, and he lived his daily life in his
own solitary fashion. Every evening he
went out in the garden beside the house
and smoked his big briar wood pipe, a
relic ol college days. The garden was
pr' tlj, and jest on the other side of the
fence was another still prettier. The
Professor frequently peered through the
fence at this garde.t and wondered who
kept it in such exqu site order. If he
1 ad known that every time he peeped
through that fence he was watched
closely and by a young woman, he
would have sunk through the earth, if
he could.
in tin; next hou-c lived the remnants
of one of I ho primeval families of GumIdetowu.
Even that isolated village had
<>l i families and blue blood, and when
>ld Jonathan Gumbleton,after whom the
town was named, had died forty years
before, he left two young sons, who
hastened to marry and extend tho
Tamil v.
The widow of one of these sons lived
in the house to which belonged the prct
.i Kuiucu. pnu mm a uuugltiur, ninl
hat daughter's name was Alice Mary
Ihimhlcton. Blue blood frequently declines
to associate with beauty, but in
this case it did not. Alice Mary Gum
hleton was as beautiful a creature as one,
f>r even two, could wish to sec. Her
hair was as black as the shades of night;
her large eyes were a deep, soft brown,
her complexion was like the bloom on s
lily; and her mouth ? well, there is no
way to describe Jier mouth except by
saying it was one of the most enticing
features on earth. Miss Alice Mary
Gura'ulcton resembled Professor Hartholoraow
Spunk iu one thing?sho was
bashful. Not all the awkwardly expressed
admiration which the swains ot
Uumbletowu had laid so generously at
her feet had ever beeu sufficient to inspire
her with the smallest portion of
that self-contideuce which usually auimates
a belle. She was hopelessly's'hyf
and her conversation was terribly mougsyllabic?except
to her cat.
Alice Mary Uuinblctou had a Maltose
cat upon which she lavished the treasures
of her heart and her intellect. Every
oue who ever saw that cat said it was
the wisest looking animal iu the world.
And it ought to have been wise; for
Alico Mary talked to it by the hour and
gave it the choice results of her long periods
ot silence and meditation. The
name of the cat was Jane. And the cat
was as beautiful as its naiue. Yet iu
spite of Alice's devotion to this animal
she was obliged oue day to speak to the
Professor, or I should say that it was
because of her devotion .
A few doors away from the home of
the fair Alice dwelt a hideous youth
whoso favorite compauiou was a large
bull-dog. Tins bull-dog was like unto
the rest of his kind, lie loved not man
nor beast, llis soul was tilled with perpetual
gloom, and ho went about the
world with a depressed ?I might say
hang-dog?look which boded no oue
good. One day Alice was aroused from
a deep meditation by a series of heartrending
shrieks followed by a dire discord
of hissing and spitting, which sho
at once recognized as being the product
of the energies of Jaue. Hushing to tho
window she beheld the dear cat mount|
ing tiie fence with less dignity than
haste. At the foot of the fence stoo 1

"Oli, my beautiful Juae!" screamed
Miss Alice. She rushed from the house
with :i broom in her hand prepared to
meet death in the defense of her pet. But
when the dog wheele 1 round and prepared
to resist her nn-laught, she paused
and chinked her tactics.
"Go away, you nasty beast!" she said.
But the dog failed to catch the idea, and
remained where he was, still keeping a
watchful eye on the cat.
"Oh, dear!" said Alice, "what shall
I do!"
At that moment the Professor entered
his garden by the front gate, having just
iiey'i"'n'"V>-'r,*?iU--school. Jin eyes fell

upon Alice, \vTiT>~\v*as^;T~lrtVTrry~,^rrtrri-r<-Ardespair,
as she stood gazing at the ferocious
dog and the unhappy cat. The
Professor was speechless with admiration.
lie stared at Alice as he had never
look at a woman before. Then his scattered
senses began to return to him, and
lie felt the bloo I mounting to his forehead,
while his heart was going like a
steam lire engine, lie gaz id about him
and finally perceived the cat, but not the
dog,
"Can I?shall f?that is?I beg pardon?but?but?do
you want the cat?"
he stammered.
"Yes, sir; if you?if you?p- please,
sir," was the reply.
The Professor advanced slowly uad
hesitatingly toward the feuce. Sud- |
tloniy lie licard a low growl, lie paused
and looked around; but, seeing nothing,
again advanced.
"Oil!" exclaimed Alice; "take care?
there's a h-h-hole in the fence; he cau
got throw ?!."
The Professor stooped and peered between
the pickets. Then he saw the
hull-dog. The next moment the Professor
had vanished into the house.
"Ah-ii!" screamed Alice; "please to
conic back and save Jane."
She had miscaculated the Professor's
gallantry. In another moment he reappeared,
bearing in his hand a huge
navy revolver. (
"Please go into?the house," he said;
"I might hit you."
But Alice remained trauslixed with
breathless anticipation. The Professor
advanced cautiously toward the fence.
When he had reached a position from
which he could see the dog, lie pointe I
the pistol carefully, turned away his
head, shut his eyes and pulled thoi
trigger. There was a tremendous report;'
splinters tlew in every direction and a
cloud of smoke obscured the Professor's i
view. The astonished dog laid back hist |
ears and lied down the street as if ho
thought the cud of the world had coinc.' |
No sooner bad be gone tban Alice rushefl
nr.. acf/,C:t tUO Utlll'.lppy cat,
an 1, pressiug the animal convulsively to
her bosom, rushed into the house.
When the Professor got the smoke out
of his eyes, and found that girl, cat and
dog had all disappeared, he marveled
greatly at the extent of his own prowess;
and lia l he not caught a glimpse of
Alice through the window, would certainly
have gone and surrendered himself
to the town constable The next day
the Professor rose early and robbed his
landlady. He stole a saucer of milk and
went out to look for?for the gray cat,
of course. Ho found Jane basking in
11iu ?uiiiij?iu. /\s a oniKer lu tlic sun
light there was no cat that could surpass
Juno. Tlic Professor stole through
the opening in the fence and set the
saucer of milk under Jane's whiskers.
At that instant a window tlew open, a
fair head popped out, and a timid voico
said:
" Thank you."
Then the window shut with a bang,
the Professor jumped clear over the fence
and disappeared. When he returned
from school that afternoon he found a
note ou iiis table. It said :
I meant 'Thank you" lor saving Jane, not
for milk.
That was all. Day after day the Pro
d .1 1 * ?
iv9?m ntuuii v.iiniy i'jr :iu opportunity to
hoc thai ^irl aipiin; hut he ceuM not., lie
lia<I vaj^uc suspicion-i that she watched,
him from behind half-closed blinds and
half drawn wiudo.v curtains; but he
could not verify his suspicions. They
were true enough. Poor Alice! She was
in a miserable state of mind on account
of her own dreadful forwardness in send*
ino that note. Hut the damage was done
now.
The Professor sought consolation in
the society of Jane. With stoleu sauccis
of milk he onticc I the cat through the
fence, and finally up to his room# There
lie used to pick the purring animal up,(
walk about the room with her in his
irrms, nnd mumble ridiculous nonsenso '
her dun-colored ear,
"She's tho mos' boofuh-st lady to
world, Kitty. Yet, s'e is. Don' yo?
waif VOIl' car All' naw v'n1? nni An* #.1
p'ofoHsor, ho jus' lulu her?um-m-m so
much. Hut you mus'n't toll, Kitty."*
And Jane didn't. She never said a
w>rd about it. It's strange, too; because
when she went home, her mistress used
to seize her and embrace her, and say:
"Ob, Jane, darling, you've been to
seo him I And I'm sure he must have
kissed you, because you're so lovely* J
\
wonder where. Ob, It muit havo been
right there on yotirtj)onutiful forehead!
There, there, thcreP* V
It wu strange mat Jane held her
peace after that; tw sha was a wise cat,
and knew that Ujafc^jfrrks wonders.
Perhaps if Jane hadflnRrn what wonders
time bad in for her?but no
matter. One day Jus went to the Professor's

waited sometime, fcvd. then, becoming
restless, she began to witpder about tlio
room. Over in ni cop?rt!rsho saw a lot of
bottle*. She decided to examine them.
Sin: did so. Ono of them fell over
against another. There wm a flash, -<i
report, a yell of anguish; and Jano rushed
from the house a sad and grcwsoinc

A Curious Badge of Honor.
Son after the Canadian Pacific Rail- .
way had reduced the journey between t
the far uorthwestcru provinces of the ^
Dominion and the capital from half a j
year or so to a week, a Blackfoot Indian
Chief, who hud been converted by uiis- ?
sionaries, taught to s|>cak English aud K
civilized oue or two degrees, was easily ^
induced to mukc n tour of the older provinces
of the country about tho time the
nnuual missionary collection was being B
taken up in the churches. It was justly
calculated that his appearance at mis- j
siooary meetings in various churches of
tho denomination which secured him
would stimulate iuterest iu the work.
The chief entered into tho idea with ?
enthusiasm, lie set out from his far-off ,
reservation in his native costume, but ?
befote he had been in the towns many j
days he acquired an ambition to wear
tho white man's clothes. Tho people ^
who had him iu chargo coaxed him to ,
retain his Iudian garb, fearing that th?
picturcsquciicss of their chaugo would
bo destroyed by tho change. But the t
chief was stubborn and had his way. On 11
the night chosen for his appearance be- *'
f?rc an Ottawa audience he came on tho
platform dressed in a Prince Albert coat, t
broadcloth trousers, prunella g(liters, 1
flowered waistcoat, white shirt, a gaudy
haudkerchtcf around his neck and n hat- I
tcred brass warming pan in his hand, ^
which ho carried with considerable
pomp. 1
The audience enjoyed him and his 1
kettle immensely. At first nobody understood
why he carried it. Then it was t
explained in an interval during which J:
the chief was got out of the hall into a
dressing room. A Hudson Bay Company
agent who had got into a tight '
place up in Rupert's Land, as the region j
was called Ihcu, and had been rescued by
this chief looked about his post for some- ,
thing with which to reward the Indian. \
lie had traded all his stuff for skins and j
could tiud nothing left which he could
spare, except his brass warming pan
which had been sent out (o him by an *
affectionate hut deluded maiden aunt in
England. Arguing that it would please j
the heathcu anyway, he polished it up (
and presented it with great formality, telling
him that it was a mark of high
distinction among white men to own such
nu article, aud that few among them had
attained that honor.
The chief was delighted, lie carried
it with him on all special occasions and
any effort to expiaiu tho true circuruI

Presidential Beards.
It is an interesting fact that President
Van Burcn was the only President previous
to Lincolawho wore liuir on his face,
snd Andrew Johnson was the only President
after Lincolu who wore a smooth
face. Since the war beards have prcilomiuatcJ.
They adorned the laces of
Presidents Lincoln, Grant, llaycs, Garfield
and Harrison. The element of
whiskers, pure and simple was represented
by President Arthur, while
Grover Cleveland enjoys the distinction
of being the only President who wore a
mustache without beard or whiskers.
Upon taking a summary the following
ratio appears: Fifteen Presidents wore
smooth faces, four wore heard and mustache,
two wore side whiskcrtl, one wore
heard and side growth and oucKvorc mm.
tachc alone. Aside from the appearance
of their faces, with or without a growth
of hair, tho true embodiment of each
nature can readily lie read from their
countenances. Traits of character can
readily be distinguished.?Philadelphia

way to cure deafness, anil that is l>y constitutional
