Liza laughed again. ?"Just as you please, but I wouldn't stand in your shoes to-night for any? thing." : When tho hour for the evening per? formance came Meg stood before the glass putting the finishing touch to the gay,-dress m which'.she usually went through the cigar and pistol episode, ! ' She nad not recovered altogether from her .faintness of the afternoon, and she opened; the little window of the van to let in some air, The sun's rays flashed in, striking upon the shelf that served as j a dressing table. They lit up the trinkets lying there, \i and touched the red stone of the brooch ! Jim hod given her, untU it looked like a clot of palpitating blood. Meg put out her hand mechanically to take it, but at the sight of its color she remembered, with a sickening shudder, Uhe "red hands" that had roused her ter? ror a few months before, and she drew back. Then she took up another brooch from the shelf, fastened it in her gown and went out to the tent V The. cheer that greeted her appearance restored, her self possession, and she bowed smilingly to the spectators before ' she took up her stand at the correct dis ptancefrqra Jim. ?,":Sho*glahced furtively' at him, and saw, "" re??ve?," that ho was looking at her in ' restored good humor. ' ? Ho 'nodded reassuringly at her, and eigned-that he was ready to begin. Meg turned her profile toward him, and put the cigar in her mouth, thinking icily how foolish she had been to mako so much of a trifle. Jim and sho were good friends again, so she stood bravely, no emotion on her broad, sensual face, while Jim raised his pistol to take aim. In the act his hand trembled, his whole face changed, and a fierce "glare came into his eyes; he bent forward? gesture and eyes alike horribly suggest? ing the panther about to spring?and gnashed his teeth. Ho had caught sight of a yellow glitter in place of the red sparkle of the brooch by which ho had- always before taken ahn. Tho wholo air seemed to bavo become yellow; and the strained silence of tho Spectators to be a {>adkgrc?hd on which . a sentence was embossed t "They say he has given her a gold brooch.0 Meanwhile Meg stood rigidly still, won? dering at the delay, ana thinking that Jim must have heard from Will how little reason he had for Jealousy. Jim's eyes were staring at the sentence, his ears ringing with the words he had heard heedlessly that afternoon. 'They say ho has given her o gold brooch." Who had given Meg the brooch that had taken the place of his gift? For a moment his senses reeled. Then he straightened himself sternly, ana affected .to examine again the pruning "of his pistol - ?;Jsj ?

Mott and ColO.A. Haines, who have just returned from a visit to Joplln and the southeast, relate a peculiar story of a human- phenomenon, a Mr. McKinstryv who is ostonislungTthe natives there. McKmstry is fKfeet 8 inches -.tall, I of somewhat .angular and" 'awkward build, though hth?iand.muscu lor. His. peculiarity is the:wonderful, affinity he has for. the earth and the vast amount of dectrioity in his system^-00 being, in' snort, a sort of an immense hu? man Leyden jar. .They say that when he . walks :;pver \ the; ground a few^hburs he becomes thoroughly exhausted and so ?linip :ahd helpless , that , he hos t? be ss . sistedhome,.But. he has/to keep , walk? ing; for' when he. - stands fhrmly on one. spot .of ground for a- few seconds he be? comes as if rooted, and has to have one foot1 assisted J loose, when the other can be .moved, and then,-by treading up and down for .-a minute, the electric current becomes "broken, in the course of which, ' however, the - peculiar sparkling incident, for instance, to brushing a black-cat's hairbackward, is developed. e But what is causing a sensation (there Is his claim of being able to locate .'min? eral. Most every one is farmlfar with a part of the proces^wolkingT over: tho"> ground with a. forked peach 'switch; hem horizontally in front of the waist, "either extremity-grasped in the hand, and the stem'from which the two branches issue 'pointing frontward. McKinstrv has adopted this plan, and improved.qn%it?" locate mineral Four months <ajg?Vhe"; fitted up his siraplo mac bine 'and asserted"" his ability, not only to tell where mineral was, but just at what depth it could be struck and the value of it To search foriwater he simply takes"*:the peach", switch; In quest of lead he caps the knob by a ferrule of composition, in which aluminum is a largo factor.

It is stated that when? ever a man has delved in the earth at a point marked by him, mineral has been found at about the depth the "witch" had promised. Superintendent J. D. Vincfi, of the Viroqud mine, so Mr. ? Mott says, offered the human battery S25 to "point" out a pocket for him. On the other hand Vincil warned the \vitch that in the event of a failure he (Vincil) would kill him. So confident was McKinstry in the virtue of his charm that he accepted, and, going over the ground stated that zino would be found, twenty-sis feet below the surface at a given point Work was begun and the shaft is now eighteen feet, and McKinstry still hangs nonchalantly around. He has not order ed a coffin to date. Mr. Mott and the colonel were so im? bued with faith in the potency of the trick that they invested on the strength of what the minors believe necromancy, but which they, somewhat familiar with science, account.for by the popular phil? osopher's stone?electricity. Mr. Mott states that each one of them grasped on end of the magic stick as it turned, thus supplementing the hold of the operator, but that the attraction was so strong that it turned, despite their combined efforts to' prevent it, even -twisting the bark off. the branch. Every one is watch? ing for the development of Vincil'stest If it succeeds they will be elated by the confidence that at last they have an open sesame to tho treasures hidden away in the subterranean recesses of the eartL? St Louis Globe-Democrat A Literary Grave Digger. In a remote part of down town New York lives a man who unconsciously is the grave digger of many on author's hopes and ambitions. He is the "reader" for one of the largest publishing houses, and often has tho manuscript of several houses on his desk. His Uterary judg? ment is marvelously good, and his deci? sion is invariably the law with the pub? lisher. "My life is becoming burdensome," he said the ether day, "because of this thirst for passionate writing which has entered our literature since the success of that Rives girl. Why, jit seems as if all the feeblo minded young women in tho coun? try had got possessed with tho idea that if they can once publish a truly "fleshy", novel their fortunes ore made. As a re? sult scores of ill spelled, execrably writ? ten stories are thrust upon me, and there is no stopping "it For the most part the deluded women who write them try to be very gross, with a dainty little wicked? ness to enliven it; the effect is dreadful.

Keep on your toilet-table a bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor?the only dressing you require for the hair?and use a little, daPv, to preserve tho natural color aud pro-.-ent baldness. Thomas Munday, Sharon Grove, Ky., writes: " Several months ago my hair commenced falling out, and in a few weeks my head was almost bald. I tried many remedies, but they did no good. I finally bought a bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor, and, after using only a part of the contents, my head was covered with a heavy growth of hair. I recom? mend your preparation as the best hair restorer in tho world." "My hair was faded and dry," writes Mabol C.

CtovKB Bottom, Sullivan County, Tenn.,.Tuno 18,1887?Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga.: Sir:?I have boon thinking of writing to you for some time to let you know of the wonderful cure your B. B. B. has affected on myself and daughter. Sho, a girl of 10 years, was taken with a very soro leg below the kneo. I called on the vory best doctors that tho country could afford, and they tended on her for four years to no purpose. Her leg got worse every year. I used about SO bottles of other med? icine to no purpose. Tho doctors said the only remedy left was araputution. That we all was opposed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of Janua? ry, 1886, and while buying a bill of drugs called for r good blood purifier, and Messrs. Sanford, Chambcrland & Co. recommend the B. B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bottles, nnd to my utter surprisc'after using three or four bottles my girl's leg was entirely healed." I also had a very ugly running soro on tbo calf of my leg and one bottle cured it, after having tried all other remedies. I wish - du ' much "success, and I do hope that all suffering humanity may hear and believe in the only truo blood'purl tier. I have tried three or four other purifiers, but the B. B. B. is tho only one that ever did me or mine any good. You can use my name if you wish. I am well known in this and Washington County, also all over Vir? ginia. B. S. ELSOM. BLOOD TAINT FROM BIRTH.
