Q. I>oea the Bible liavo anything to aay
regurding Military walls?
A. Head Leviticus, 14th Chapter, 38-41
vers*-*.
Q. What do modera sanitarians say.
A. That wall pa|>er and glue kalsotnines
are directly res|>onsible for much of the sick **?,
igoorantly attributed to other ciuses.
The C icago Inter-Ocean, in an article
on pairing walls, under tho caption
of "Nasty Practice," has this to say.
"Our Health Oltieer, Dr. Do Wolfe, says the
free passage ot air through walls of living
rooms is an important element iu proper
ventilation. Tho practice of repaperiog
rooms by layer upon layer of wall paper,
made adhesive by glue or paste, which adds
a decotn|>osing material to the nasty practice,
can receive nothing but condemnation
from tho sanitariau. l'ho perfect wall for
domestic habitation is of material which resists
decoii?i>osition in every form, and which
permits tho free passage of air. It seems to
me that Alaltastineis admirably adapted for
tho purpose."
The Doctor agrees with tho Inter-Ocaan,
that a special law should ho passed to pro
vent the practice of pasting repeated layers
of i*ai>er oil the walls.

But for the rest of the story '
It was about two years after the road- 8
agent affair, iu which we tost almost .
everything but our good uaiues and tho J*
clothing we wore, when, one day, I was "
thunder-struck to receive Jdallegan's ^
wedding cards. It was tho first time I
had heard from him in a year, and had
any ono else, told me Terence Hallegan 0
was a marrying man, I should have dc- n
ridod liiui; byt when Terence himself,in
Ilis own peculiar chirogtaphy, directed S
to mo ah cuvolooe containing such start- b
liug news, all set forth m the highest
style of the engraver's art?well, it was y
too much, aud I went down into the $
camp, where there were a full score of tl
Terence's friends and acquaintances to u
toast his memory and console with each a
other. And grief was our lot, until tho li
day Jewett "struck it" in that hole he fi
had been pegging away at, over on tho a;
1 other side of the gulch, aud excitement ^
reigned supreme. g
In the midst of tho confusion, tele- 0i
grams came and went, flyiit ;?brought n
and sent by special courier to anil from f,
tiie otfiee at Sunrise, nine miles away; \j
aud, one day, came one for him who sits n
here burning the nocturnal kerosene. ec
It was from Hullegan, who was now liv- er
ing in Chicago, aud summoned me to tl
hasten to that city, where I was needed w
to assist in closing a transaction involxs- It
ing the sale of some mining property in k
which Terence and I were interested. ci
Terence met me at the station. He >!
looked remarkably well, even for a per li'
son whose health and spirits had always w
been of the very best, and I told him so, tr
adding that in deponent's opinion he P*
must liave drawn a capital prize in the tu
matrimonial lottery. se
He smiled happily, and took my arm Cil
to walk outside the train inclosure, as he ??
said:
"That I did?that I did, me boy; 'll
fast wait till you see her, and you'll be gi
sure of it." sh
He railed a cab, gave the driver some al
brief instructions,aud leaped in after me. bi
We rode several raiuutes in silence; then w
Hullegan turned to me in a rather o.n- T
liarrasscd way, and said, iu a strained
lone: w
"Billy, rao boy?it's very near dinner- cl

How much they resemble?" t
"Well, me boy?" '
r Hallegan was looking at me quizzically '
5 through the smoke, wo having lighted c
3 our cigars meanwhile. I suppose 1
looked embarrassed. Of course it was r
all rot; tho idea of there being any cou- g
V ncction, however remote, between the *
? stately creature who had just left us (
' and the little rascal who engineered that *
hold-up! 1
y Hallegan spoke: '
'? "Hilly, me boy, I won't make a short '
story any longer than is necessary. You *
n remember the little fellow who held us
t up, two years ago? '
s "Of course I do." '
y "Yes, very likely. Well, I fancy I'd 1
e better begin at the beginning.
1 "Three years ago, a young fellow 1
named Wilson, who had been employed 1
, as cashier by the Li. ana A. ouigw and 1
Express Company, got into trouble over 1
3 his accounts. The manager?Robin*
v sou?charged him with a shortage
amounting to several thousand dollars. '
There was an investigation, and, ou the
, 3...ii^ni u. ucriuui circumstantial evidence
which need not be stated, as it iB
immaterial, bir-ke I l?y tlie testimony ot'
Robinson, the manager, Tweedy, the I
,1 superintendent, and Fnuk. Robinson, son i
e of the manager?who, by tho way, had ,
e always been Wilson's bosom friend?the |
ii cashier was convicted ou trial and sen- ,
ii tenced to a loot; term at C'anen City. \
s Strange to say, he o Tered n ? testimony I
s and made no defense except his flea of 2
t "not guilty.' I

for?explanations. Only?if you think fr
you've seen?my wife?if her face
miliar?please dou't mention it, or act as rn
though you noticed it. I'll explain after T!
dinner." oi
I acquiesced wonderingly, and wondered
yet more after I had met Mrs. n<
llallegau, for I was quite positive that I 9*
had never seen her before, and there was u'
ample opportunity, duriug the course of OI
the excellent dinner we presently sat c''
down to, to study her. She was slightly
above the medium height, and of a ?er- I'i
feet, though rather slight, figure. iler
hair and eyes were dark, setting off ex- to
ccllcutly her clear olive complexion, and
her features were all that an artist could
desire. !>he was hardly what one would In
call a beautiful woman, how.ver. b<.
'Handsome'' would be the better word tr
?or, perhaps, "striking." There was ?t;

strong, rather masculine chin?in which, ?'
oddly enough, there was a charmingly

little, white-haired, sweet-faced old lady
who sat opposite me, aud whom she addressed
as "mother." to
Dinner over, the ladies rose to leave to
us, smiling over the broad hint Terence ci
had just tlirowu out conceruiug a desire a
to smoke. A.s they reached the door, ai
Mrs. Hallegau turned and bowed mock- m
iugly to licr husband, whose hand was if
i just reaching for the bell. "I hope, Sir n
Terence, that the cigars may provo dry s<
i company." Then, with a bright smile,
she vanished.
