I? :?7;e Bandit . lU^ . _ ; J Ti c Mr.rquisi? de ?eauminois had mc.und anciently for a gouty nnd unreasonably jealous husband, sjic had recently laid aside her weeds and begun a neuvaine when ,m order from the king enjoined 1-er to lodge a captain and his squadron, who had been sent to dear the country of an audacious band of brigands. The young widow submitted with good grace. While tho dragoons bad free accosB to tho pantry, sho did*the honors of her table for their chief, thc Due de MervaL Dom Marouflot, the chaplain of the cha teau, acted as chaperon. Ono evening the duke was talk ino- and drinking in the large wain scoted room, where he was playing chess with Dom Maroiiflot. The marquise, who wore an exception al] v elegant toilet, was asking her self for the thousandth time that week, "Do 1 really love him?" and, i hough she reflected seriously, her question remained unanswered. "That (rillou is a clever bandit/' . iwled the captain between two '.rame?. "For two weeks wo have scoured the country, and still he ?lip.-; through our fingers. I have decided to search for him tomorrow with tho whole squadron. "Gillou is not an ordinary brig and/' continued thc duke. "They say bc is educated, courteous and even gallant upon occasions." As the marquise drew her chair nearer to the table where the two men were sitting tho captain began to tease her. "What a serious countenance, madame 1 I fear my stories about brigands have so frightened you that you will not dare to venture two steps in the park this evening." Dom Marouflot looked at the clock and said: "It is the hour for your neuvaine, madame. I will ring for the servants to escort you." "No, no; it is needless," replied the marquise, piqued by the duke's sarcasm. "I shall go to the chapel alone. I wish to prove to Captain Merral that women are not such cowards as he believes.*' The old chapel was at tho* farther end of the park. Once out of the house the marquise began to regret her bravado. Mme. Beauminois' mind was filled with the stories she had heard concerning Gillou, "the man in the mask," as the old wo men of the country called him. Under her fine satin corsage her heart beat so loudly she could al most hear it. At last she reached the chapel and, entering, kneeled and said her prayers w little more quickly than usual. Then she rose and went to ward the door. Suddenly she stopped and caught her breath. A masked man was standing near tho holy water vessel. As she saw that he remained mo tionless and in a respectful atti tude bhe took courage and ad vanced. The man dipped his fingers in the holy water and held them out to her. She did not dare to refuse the stranger's offer, and, thanks to a ray of moonlight that filtered through a stained glass window, she remarked that he had a very beau tiful hand. A little reassured, she made a sign of the cross and left the chapel. She had scarcely taken ten steps before the unknown m?" rejoined her, and she started at hearing, a voice which she thought she recog nised, although it was singularly softened. ,rWill you allow me to offer you my arm, madame? Some accident might befall you alone in this great park at Buch an hour." He had such a courtly bearing that the marquise felt perfectly H As they crossed an opening bathed in moonlight she examined her companion more closely. TTjq mask left the lower part of his face uncovered. Not only did she believe that it was not the first time ?he bad heard this voice, butf it seemed to her that it was the same blond ? mustache which had lightly touched her hand each evening in a discreet kiss. The masked man had there fore almost the samo voice, mus tache and figure as the duke. He had disguised himself to H frighten her. This discovery gs^e cn ner a great desire to laugh, am. she leaned upon his arm with more con fidence. Finding the adventure a pleasant one, sh? resolved to play Bj ber part of the courageous woman Sj seriously 60 long as.it should please tae duke to remain a brigand. Besides, what a fine occasion to ? leam under cover of jocularity the duke's real sentiments! *T>o you often go out alone like this, my pretty devotee?*' j ^Yes, M* Mask, all alone, just like *T)o you know that Gillou and his band are running about the country,?" 17e8'1 know iL" "Are yon not afraid of brig I ands ?" ^jThat depends upon the brig '^yself, for example." Are you a real brigand?*' H .A?as? yea, fair lady," he said in a j melancholy tone. ? '^deed !" replied th6 marquise. U \ am sorry for you, but you do not ? Jpghten me a bit. Quite the con ? trary." Tho stranger had such a grateful. .tender and eloquent look that the" young woman was touched. She would never have believed that the duke's eyes could express so much as that. "Would it be indiscreet, beauti ful princess, to ask why you went to the old chapel ?" "I went to finish my neuvaine." "A neuvaine 1 And for what rea son?" "Guess." "Are you married, my queen ?" "I have been, but" "Ah, I understand 1 You were of fering up vows for the end of your widowhood." 'Terhaps that is it" Without another word he began to press a series of kisses upon the marchioness' taper fingers. Her hesitation increased the ene my's boldness, and when she thought of drawing away her hand he had already abandoned it for a skirmish where the kisses closed her eyes. Suddenly she escaped from her imprisonment and noticed that his eyes were fixed upon the brilliant diamond she wore upon her little finger. "Do you want a pledge of pardon for your boldness ? 6he said. "Here it is." And, putting her whole soul into a last playful smile, she added: "It is a talisman that will aid you in returning to the right path, my dear brigand. Remember that I should prefer to see you dead rath er than unfaithful or a felon." At these words, lightly uttered, tho masked man showed extraordi nary emotion. Then, with rever ence this time, he kissed the lady's hand rr.d disappeared. When bhe entered the house, she found the duke and Dom Maroullot at the chess table. The duke was so absorbed that he did not even turn Iiis head as she came into the room. She thought that really cue was in the presence of a consum mate actor. She leaned over his shoulder* as ho was moving a knight and sud denly turned pale-the duke hod no ring on his finger I vThe poor marquise passed a rest less night. Toward morning she hod scarcely, closed her eyes when she was awak ened by the sound of gunshots, fol lowed by the noise of galloping horses. The dukf, at the head of his dragoons, was returning to the chateau. He had alighted and was taking off his pistols when the marquise appeared. "If s all over," he called out to her. "I brought down Gillou with a single shot. We had hardly got outside the park gate before the idiot come to us. He threw him self between our horses' legs, so to speak. And for fear that I might not recognize him he cried out: 'I am Gillou ! Kill me V "He kneeled down ten steps from me. When he saw me aim my pis tol at him, he raised his hand in the air and held up something brilliant. Then he cried out again, but I don't know whet he said, for the report of my pistol drowned his voice. "He fell, and one of my men picked up the brilliant thing he held in his hand. If you want it, here it is. It shall be your part of the booty. But there is a little blood on it" The duke handed a beautiful dia mond to the marquise. Recogniz ing the ring, she turned deathly pale, and suddenly she read clearly in her heart. She had never loved the duke, and now she detested him. -From the French. When Ruskin Talked Nonsense. In a lecture at Oxford when he was Slade professor Sir William Richmond defended the fame which the world had accorded to Michael Angelo and Raphael. Formerly Ruskin hod denounced Michael An gelo, arul he was not very well pleased with Sir William for hold ing forth on the other side. When Ruskin recovered from the ill health which had caused him to give up the Slade professorship, Sir Wil liam retired so that he might fill it again. Touched by this, Ruskin asked if he might dine with his young friend. The latter was de lighted, and they spent a pleasant evening. When Ruskin rose to go, he said, "Willie, why did you make that violent attack upon mo about Michael Angelo?" "Mr. Ruskin, because you talked nonsense," was the uncompromising reply. "You are quite right," was the parting word of thc great hearted master, "it was nonsense."

HE SOUGHT LEGAL ADVICE Yet This Butcher ls Wondering What to Co About IL Astor is a lawyer who lives in Englewood, says tho Chicago Trib une. He was walking from his house to tlie suburban train when the butcher on the corner opposite the station called to him. Astor had bought his meat from that butcher tor twenty years. j "Mr. Astor," asked the bubrher, "what can I do if a dog runs into the shop and carries off a roast of beef worth $2 ?" "Do you know whose dog it is?" asked the lawyer. "Oh, yes," the butcher answered. "I know who owns tho dog all right." "Then all you've got to do is to send the owner a bill for the stolen meat. You can collect it without any doubt." Then Mr. Astor started to hurry for his train. "Mr. Astor," the butcher called after him-"Mr. Astor, that was your dog. I'll send you the bill this afternoor." Next morning the bill came to Mr. Astor's ollice. But tho butcher had unfortunately forgotten that his victim was a lawyer. By the next mail he got his an ?wer. With it came a bill for $10 for legal advice in the matter of a "thieving dog," leaving a balance of $8 due Mr. Astor.\ And now the butcher ?3 wondering what ho had better do about it. Bridging a Chasm. Dr. Alexander McKenzie in ono of his sermons iells a pretty anec dote of the early life of Louis Agas siz, the great scientist. As a cliild Agassiz lived in Switzerland, on tho border of a lake. He had a younger brother, and one day tho two lads started to cross the lake. It was frozen, and the ice looked safe enough, but their mother watched them. The boys got on very well until they came to a crack in tho ice per haps a foot wide. Thc mother could not call to them, although her heart failed her as she thought, "Louis will get over well enough, but his little brother will try to step over and will fall im" As she watched she saw Louis get down on the ice, his feet on one side of the crack, his hands on the other side, making a bridge of his body, and the little brother crept over him to the other side. .Then Louis got up and they went on their way. "Wei! Begun ls Half Done/' Thus says the proverb. But it is a melancholy f?et that helf the fail ures in life are due to leaving un finished what has been started well. It is never wise to dissipate one's energy by leaving a well begun task in order to take up a fresh one, for doing so is likely to result in a promising piece of work being left unfinished forever and aye and also have a very bad effect on the mind and character of the workor. Noth ing really worth doing was ever done without inconvenience, and it is an excellent plan to train oneself in perseverance and self sacrifice by making a rule always if possible to finish the work in hand before at- ' tempting anything eise? , A Sharp Passage? The English marriage service was the subject of conversation. Lowe said in his dashing way that it was full of nonsense. "Why," he ex claimed, turning to his wife, "it made me say 'with all my worldly, i goo do I thee endow' when I had no worldly goods wherewith to endow you.'" "Ah, Hobert," she replied, "bat 'there were your brains f* "WelL" he said, "all the world knows that I did not endow you with them."-"Life and Letters of Viscount Sherbrooke." Hlo Bootjack. A well known lawyer and writer, a resident of Oneida county, N. Y., who has long since passed away, used to tell a joke on himself, says a Utica paper. His story was to the effect that he called for a boot jack at a country hotel at which he stopped. Now, this lawyer and writ er had very large feet, and the hostler to whom he made the re quest, aftor casting a glance afc the big boots, exclaimed: "Why, man, it isn't a bootjack you want for those. You need the fork of the road!" _ Persian Peculiarities. Persia has beer described aa "con sisting of two parts-ono, a desert with salt; another, a desert with out salt." This is rather an exag geration^ but the general appear ance of the country is extremely barren. Where irrigation is car ried on this wilderness is made to "blossom like a rose."

ONE OF FIELD'S POEMS. The Frame In Which lt Waa 8et end the Pun lt Produced. A Louisville man thus describes an amusing incident which occurred in New Orleans in the spring of 1894: "I met Eugene Field on one of Ins pilgrimages for old bottles, pewter ware and any old tiling in the junk line. Some friends of mine introduced our party to Mr. Field and Wilson Barrett and mem bers of his company, then playing an engagement in New Orleans. Mr. Field's greatest delight was in teasing Miss Maude Jeffries, a Mis cissippi girl, then leading lady in Mr. Barrett's company. She was very sensitive and modest, and it delighted Field greatly when he could playfully embarrass her. "One day I "found him in his room busy on tho floor pasting large sheets of brown paper together, lie had written a poem to Misi*. Jeffries in the center of a large sheet of : this wrapping paper in his charac \ teristic small hand-indeed, much I smaller than usual. On tho edges of this sheet 1 found him pasting I others of equal size, so that the j whole when complete made a sin gle sheet about eight feet square. This he carefully ?obied up to fit an improvised envelope about thc size of a Mardi (Iras souvenir, then being distributed about the city. "With the joyousness of a boy about to play a prank ho chased downstairs at the noon hour when he knew Miss Jeffries was at lunch with Mr. Barrett in the cafe of the Grunewald. Culling a waiter, he sent the hugo envelope in te her table. Sho glanced at it a moment and then gradually drew the pack age from its envelope, while Field and I stood watching behind thc entrance. It ?pread all over the table as she continued to unfold the enormous sheet, and its rustle attracted the attention of nearly every one in tho room. When it had spread itself all over Mr. Bar rett, who meanwhile was laughing heartily, Miss Jeffries discovered the poem in Field's hand and. although blushing crimson, joined in the laughter, for she knew he was some where about enjoying her discom fiture.*' _ Overmatched. An amusing incident was wit nessed in a cigar store the other aft ernoon. A newsboy, having picked up a cigar stump, walked m and, ad dressing thc man behind the coun ter, said, "Say, boss, give us a match." The man behind the coun ter, looking down, said, *iMy young friend, we aro not here for tho pur poso of giving away matchee ; we sell them. . "How much are dey?" was the question. "Ono cent a box," tho clerk announced. The urchin stuck his hand into his pocket and produced, after a great deal of hunt ing, a penny and handed it to the mon. He received his box of match es and, taking one out, lit the **butt." Boturning tho box to the mah bock of the case, ho said, "Say, put this box on de shelf, and when a gentleman comes along and asks you for a match, why, give him one out of my box."-Cincinnati En quirer. _ A Long Gems of Checkers. A game of draughts has been played under very peculiar circum stances between two Cornish fami lies for the last forty years and is not finished yet. Whenever a mem ber of either house dies the relatives meet at the deceased's home ss soon, as the funeral rites are over, where upon the two eldest members con tinue the game until one of the play ers loses a man. The positions of the draughtsmen on the board are then recorded and the game post poned until death gives the signal for reopening the t?selo.

What is said to be the largest and oldest pear tree in America is in Michigan, near Lake Erie. It is supposed to have been planted by the French when they first settled in that Bection. Fivo feet above the ground this tree measures thir teen feet in circumference and is sixty-five feet high. It is said also to be a prolific bearer that rarely fails of a full crop. No special ef fort has been mano to prolong the life of the tree, but it has grown naturally as the forest trees, of sim ilar age. _ He Ought to Know. The late Professor Cohn, the fa mous botanist of Breslau, thus opened his course of lectures: "The four chief constituents of plants are carbon, C; oxygen, 0; hydrogen, H, and nitrogen, N." Then, writing down these four letters with apparent carelessness on thc blackboard - Cohn - he smiled, observing: "It is clear I ought to know some thing about botany." C?.N YOU BEAT THIS?

After forty years a eouplo in Barbour county, Va., meet, renew their engage ment and are married. Kachel Philips and Jackson Bolyard, of Barbour oounty, were to have been married about tho timo of the outbreak of the civil war. The wedding day was set, but they parted. Miss Philipa bro-e off her engagement because Bolyard sympathized with the South. Ho en tered the Confederate army and fought gallantly during the whole of the war. At tho close of war Bolyard again sought his- sweetheart, but found that she had married another while he was in the army. Then he also married and returned to hin farm. Recently they mot again. Ho was a widower and 6he a widow, and the old love was ronewed and last week they were mar ri? d. Ho is 80 years of age and sho ie 78. The end of a pretty romance was in sight till Bolyard's son came home and found his father's new wife. In a rage he drove her from the house and will uot permit her to return. - An Atchison mother talks so much of her daughter's bird like voieo i that friends sent the girl a package of 1 bird seed by mail recently. It's a bad time to swap horses when you are crossing a stream." That was Lincoln's famous reply to those who urged him to make a change in generals at a critical period of the Civil war. Lincoln's saying ia worth remember ing, especially when you are asked to "swap" Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for a bootless bargain, de scribed as "just ns good," at the critical time when health is at stake. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery is a medicine which has a record of ninety-eight per cent, of cures. It is au absolutely reliable family medicine, non alcoholic and non-narcotic. It always helps* it almost always cures. Why should any one who is seeking a cure for sickness, and is persuaded that the "Discovery" will cure him, "swap" the substance for the shadow at the risk of health? Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery cures diseases of the stomach and o'her organs of digestion and nutrition. "V* iat is popularly termed " weak " st o rn i ach :s the common cause of various forms of physical weakness,-auch as w weak " heart," weak " lungs, " weak " or slug gish liver, " weak " nerves, etc. The entire body and its several organs are dependent lor strength upon the food prepared in the stomach. The "weak" stomach cannot provide the food j strength for the various organs, which in their turn become " weak " and unable to accomplish the work for which they were designed. "Golden Medical Dis covery " cures through the stomach dis eases which have their cause in a dis eased condition of the stomach and the allied organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables the perfect digestion and assimilation of food by which the body is built up into a condition of sound health. It purifies the blood, driving out the poisons which breed and feed disease. Prafoiwott ?9 O?&m ? Have taker. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery and it did me more good than anything1 could get," writes Mrs. Julia ?. Wilcox, ofCygnet, Wood Co., Ohio, Box 15. "I doctored with three different doctora for weak heart, but they did me no good. I was so ti red and discouraged if I had had my choice to live or die I would hare ?refered to die. My husband heard of ' Golden ledical Discovery' and he bought me a bottle. I took that and the first half seemed to help me. I took six bottles before I stopped. I am per fectly well and am cooking for boarders (I have six), and am taking in washing besides. I wiil truly say X think your medicine will do all it ia recommended to do, and more. It has been a God-send to me. I will be wilUng to answer any letters of inquiry that any one wishes me to. If you think this will be the means of helping any poor suffering woman to obtain relict you may print it and make any honest use of it you wish to." Was Bedfast* "I had been sick for more than a year with kidney trouble," writes Mrs. Lucy Hayter, of Jacksboro, Tack Co., Texas. "Several different doctors treatir<l mc, but none did me any good. One doctor :?sid I never could bc cured, that I had Bright's Disease. I suffered nearly death at times: had spells the doctor called spasms. Was bedfast most of thc time for six mouths. My mother begged me to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. With but little hope I wrote to Dr. Pierce and he said he could cure me. I began to tak?- his ' Golden Medical Discovery * and although I had given up to die, I began to im^.'ove from the start, nnd by the time I had talwn twenty-two bottles I wa? entirely cured.
