Brandon Cloud, author, sat on the edge of his bed and gazed in dismal despair at the upturned sole of his boot ; On the table lay an almost com I pleted novel, -whose progress had re* ? ceived a dual check. Firstly,' the I supply of paper had become exhaust? ed, which, secondly, allowed the au? thor time to think of the woman he loved, and this always made him so utterly miserable that he could.not bring his thoughts to bear upon any? thing but the apparent hopelessness of the state of man. "Well, Brandon, my boy," he mused bitterly, "you've reached the < end at last. Assets, 10"cents; liabili? ties, an empty stcmt&oh and a land lad/'^ bill for ISO." He had thought of suicide before, but he waayoung and. clung to life, bad as it was, living more on hope than substance.. - The only other alternative was - starvation, and this he considered worse still. He could not have la? bored manually if he had got work to do, for having been born in the purple he had always oounted pov? erty out of bis life, i30 had learned no trade. He dropped into his ohair again and picked up the manuscript" of bis novel. How beautifully smooth it read. What a grand plot it was, and what a character was the poor, struggling, ambition loving journal? ist?"A Pin de Sieole Fool.'' Ah, if he could but finish it! No more starvation, no more lying to widow landladies, no'more dreaming of the woman he loved, but would not marry. j While be sat thinking of what might be there came a knock at the door so timid that he did not notice it until it was repeater) thrioe. \ f"Thelandlady,"hethought, with? outrising. X^--<' ^ Howeyer^t-was not the portly .iorm-ef^tho widow that met Bran? don's gaze when the door opened, but a sweet little vision of a girl en? wrapped in sables/ He started to his feet with an exclamation as she came into the room, the smile on her face lighting up the apartment like a ray of summer sunshine "My dear Minnie," he cried as he, offered her a ohair and relieved her of her muff and boa, "what in the world induced you to come here?" "Curiosity and?love, but"? \ ."Curiosity 1 Seven-eighths of a woman's nature. It has ruined many a woman and"? ;> "Now it's going to save a man," she interposed, with a smile, wbioh died from her eyes as she glanced around the room. "You don't ap? pear to bo very comfortable, and no fire. J You said in your letter^ you were makmg your fortune. That is not true." Brandon was seated on the edge of the table looking at nothing in. particular. > "Perfeotly," he answered, shift-^ ing uneasily. 4 'Only, you know, Minnie, it's slow work. There are so many at the game, and I never was clever." "You have grown pessimistic. Poor Brandon!'' and she- caught his hands. "Bow cold you are! Why -don't you have a fire?" The. author did not answer. "Oh, I understand," she said in a Jlow, sympatheticivoice.* "No wood, no coals, no money, eh?" And she caressed his hand fondly. "You ibave not made muoh progress in the ?royal road?" ../.' "Don't you understands Minnie, I have endeavored to earn my own living honestly, endeavored to be independent of any raan, and I want to continue so. There are enough parasites in the world. It has been a bit of a struggle, I'll admit, but I have grown accustomed to it." "Brandon," was Minnie's solemn response, "I want to show you tbe folly of your independence. Did you think I could not read, between the lines of your letter to me? A man who is making his fortune or who is earning a living and has hopes for the-futuro does not implore the 1 woman he loves to forget him and marry some other man. Brandon, you do love me?" She placed her hands upon his shoulders and looked up into his faoe. . \ : ? He shut his eyes far-a moment, his lips quivered, anci he did not speak, but ho smoothed her fair hair softly. "Then you will come away with me?" she pleaded. " You Will sink your foolish spirit of pride and inde? pendence and make me a happy woman?" And she nestled her head on his arm. "Not long ago, when you were I rich, you- loved ine, ai d we were to ! be married, but when you lost your all in those wretohed companies you would not be my husband, though my fortune is ample fcr both." i "I wish I could swallow my wretohed pride, but I cannot. I could not live on your money in your house. My in most feelings would ory shame at'.me. My posi? tion would be unbearable." Minnie shivered. "You are oold?" he asked. She nodded. "Well, you had better be going," And he handed ner her furs. "It is no kind and good of you, Minnie, but?but I'll try a little longer for that fortune." And the ghost of a smile lingered on his face for an in? stant. "I suppose I could not help you in any way, Brandon? May I leave my checkbook?" Tho question was put very hesi? tatingly, and while the inner man cried "Yes" in piteous accents the outer gentleman declined the kind offer with a courteous firmness. "I have read several of your short stories," Minnie said as she pulled on her gloves, "and think they are really olever. But yooi ought to try something big?a three volume novel." "They are going oui; of fashion, and besides they take suoh a time. One can scribble off short stories like nursery rhymes, and the return is quiok." He referred to the return of the manuscripts. She thought ho meant payment. "But here," he went on rapidly, going to the table and taking up his unfinished book?"hero is a novel I have almost completed. None of your ordinary drivel, but realism, and that is the demand of the hour. It will not be more than 40,000 words, and I am confident of its sue 0?8S." "Wh?n von ?nlsl* vptft? book Brandon," sho advised,'"send it to Irvine & Irvine. They will publish it in their 'Nona de Plume' seriea. You will have an eccentric, idiotio poster all to yourself in the new art style, and the - puzzle of the hour will be: 'What is the writer's name? Is it? he or a she?" Then, when the papers have criticised your book, praised it, 'slashed it and discussed it for all it is worth, your real name will be discovered. Interviewers will regard you as a special prize. Your photo will be attempted in the evening news sheets, and you will be famous." j Her throat burned while she spoke. Her voice was very dry and her bonliomme artificial. , "Goodby, goodbyl" "Kiss me, Brandon?a last kiss." | He bent and pressed his lips to hers, then turned quickly away as she hurried down stairs and home j and sat in his chair far into the even? ing the most miserable man on earth. It was about a week later, and Brandon was still in his lodgings. His landlady had informed him after Minnie's visit that some one . had settled a long standing debt, so he need not worry over his little ao count. He blessed her. She passed the blessing on to Minnie Horton. He sat at the table endeavoring to think out his novel, butheoould rot oompose a single sentenoe, for on the news sheet spread out before him there danced in the blaokest of type a paragraph wbioh had par? alyzed all the energy in him. Min? nie was to be married. She had tak? en him at his word and would wed young Percy Oloott in three months' time. Well, that ended it. The one ray of hope that had made his existence bearable had ? been flashed from his life, and death was the only panacea. Poison, hanging, drowning or a bul? let?anything to get out of the wor ld quiokly. And he had loved her so much! Of oourse it was his/own choice. If he oould only have con? ventionally murdered his pride and "laughed in the world's faoe, he might have been happy with the woman he loved, but he could not, and now he oould not live. Thus ran his reflections, when the landlady brought him a letter, writ? ten on perfumed yellow paper. He recognized the handwriting at once. It was from Minnie. and confirmed the newspaper item. - She retained his ring as a keepsake. "Do not give way to ridioulous passion," she advised him, and his face hardened ?s he read the words .again. Not hel Why should he? Must his life be suddenly extinguish? ed, his hopes dispelled, because he had lost the love of one woman? There were soores of others?all beauflful, all loving, all good?no, some, good?and when he was fa? mous 1 He had struck the right chord, and his whole being sprang tnto a furious blaze of ambition?a desire to oheat the woman that he thought;had jilted him and laughat her in mookery and triumph. He walked his room feverishly, his hands clinohed and his lips set tight, while the fire of ambition forged his determination and with? ered his love. By heavens, he would be famous 1 Day after night he would toll at the book until it was finished and then?then his triumplti. Yes,; that was it. Work, work and forget her, and he pitohed the dainly note into the'fire and oommenoed. He unfroze. All his energies return? ed, all his thoughts rushed back upon him and fell over eaoh other as his pen raoed across the paper. In a .few days his book was ready for the publishers. Brandon received a reply from Irvine & Irvine within two days. This was a revelation that astound? ed him. But what surprised him still more was the fact that the pub Ushers wished to see him. It was a pity Minnie had been so hasty, Brandon thought, as he con? sumed Irvine's note time after time. Fortune and fame were written all over him, and if he only had her! At least he ought to write and oongratulato her on her engagement He wondered with armean exultation what she would feel like?if she would turn white when she read of his success. So he sat down to write; but, remembering that all eggs did not turn out chicks, he deferred it until he had seen the publishers. After the interview he was mad with himself because he had not written, for Irvine & Irvine paid him $1,300 down for all the rights of his book. How he walked home from the office he never knew, and he wondered why he had not oabbed it He remembered changing his oheok at the bank, buying a quarter cigar, whioh he enjoyed with great gusto, and visiting his tailor's, where he purohased a ready made suit and was measured for various others. Of oourse he would have to ohange his lodgings now. He oould I not entertain interviewers in his present garret. Arrived home, he desired to wipe off his debts with the landlady at once, showering carelessly upon the table in her best parlor a handful of gold, whioh took all the breath from the old lady's body. She was in no hurry, however. There was a visitor up stairs waiting for him. "A man?" gasped Bandon, with a sinking heart, as his mind flew to interviewers. But it was a lady, as he quiokly discovered, and that lady Minnie. His heart beat rapidly, his breath came quiokly, his eyes gleam? ed brightly, and he was about to catch her in his arms when he re? membered that she belonged to an? other, and the memory crushed him. He attempted to speak, but a sud? den attack of aphasia stilled his tongue, and he sank into a chair and covered his face with his hands, while the lump that had risen in his throat almost ohoked him. "Aren't you well, Brandon?" Minnie inquired, alarmed at his ap? pearance. She placed her small hand lovingly upon his burning I forehead, but ho winced at the touch ! as though it was something that j hurt him. "Are you ill, dear?" And she sank on her knees and strove to poll his hands from his iaco. "It was only a joke, darling, only a joke," she cried piteously, her eyes wet with tears. "I am not go? ing to marry Olcott." Brandon sat upright suddenly, his face very white. "You are not?" as he oaught her wrists in a frantio grasp. "No, no I Forgive me, dearest. I thqnght if I told you that you would fancy I was happy and so be able to work. You said so." Brandon sighed deeply, bent and kissed; her, .< "I might have killed myself," he remarked presently. "You had too much pride." She was smiling now. "But why have you oome hero again?" "You never wrote to me, Bran? don, and I thought I"? "You feared I should do what you knew I would not. That's like a woman," and he laughed lightly. "But it's all over now, Minnie. I have completed my book and sold it to the Irvines for $1,300. The an? nouncement of your engagement kioked my pride so hard that I had to do something desperate." Minnie was a splendid actress. "What?" oraning forward, with one hand on her lover's shoulder. "Thirteen hundred dollars. You darling 1" And she kissed him eager? ly. "Yes, and there's more to follow. They are certain it will be asuocess, and they claim the refusal of all my other works. God bless you, Minn I But for you?you've got to share this with me." He threw the gold and notes upon the table, but the girl shrank baok. "No, no, Brandon, your brains earned it. It is all yours. Yes. We will share it and all that is to come. No refusal. You proposed it.'' They were married within a month, but "A Fin de Sieole Fool" was not a success. Indeed it was an utter failure, and one paper remark? ed that Messrs. Irvine & Irvine had better olose up if that was the best rubbish they oould secure. How Minnie laughed at the great unknown scribe who penned those lines! Like Brandon, he never knew that Minnie Horton was the real publisher of the volume; that she paid Brandon the $1,300. and that she published all his following effu? sions. Brandon works merrily on; writes four hours each day and sells each book as soon as it is finished. Strange to relate, many of his works are out of print. Though paid for, they have never been published. Oo< casionally he determines to trot around to Irvine's and inquire what they mean by such scandalous con? duct, but when this fit seizes him Minnie always has something for him to do, and he alway* does it Boston Traveller. When tbe Jews Had Three Eye*. The Jews of eastern Palestine and Asia Minor have a queer tradition ?which has survived from anoient times and tells of. a remote period in their history when every fully developed Israelite was equipped with three perfeoteyes. The two main optics were situated in the front part of the bead, just as Jew? ish and other eyes are today, but the third?the one that made the early patriarch a monstrosity?was located in the baok part of his head, just above the nape of the neok in the edge of the hair. This wonderful third eye in man was not "evolut ed" out of existence, as useless or? gans generally are (according to the ideas of the progressive scientists), but was closed by divine injunction on the day when Moses was given the tables "f stone on Sinai. You remember that God's com? mand on the day that the tables were renewed was to the effeot that I no man should be seen in the vicin? ity of the holy mount. See Exodus xxxiv, 3. The believers in the three eye tradition say that Moses supple? mented God's oommand by order? ing the faithful who were enoamped in the valley to turn their heads from the mountain. This they did, but took good care to uncover the eye that was situated In the baok of the bead. Moses, noticing this show of duplicity on the part of his followers, asked God to olose the third or rear eye, and sinoe that day the Israelites, in common with the remainder of humanity, have been forced to depend on two eyes only. ?St Louis Republic.

He had got far in advance of his porters, and was spinning along at a pretty good speed, with his eye on the path, when suddenly he heard a noise as of animals galloping be? side him. True enough, on glancing to the right he disoovored three magnificent lions keeping him com? pany. They were 20 or 30 yards to one side, and kept along with him for perhaps 100 yards. Then they stop? ped, looked at him for a moment? a strange being he must have looked in their eyos?and bounded away at right angles, still stopping now and then to look baok, till they disap? peared in the long grass.?Youth's Companion. ?
