THE RETURNED * TRAMP --- ; It was all a fraud. The forage cap on ono side of bia narrow head, the wornout livery coat with epau let* even tho leathern strap sus pending from his shoulder his box of knavish wares, affected a military flir and countenanced his lies and deceptions. Thc face was not repulsive even now. Some distinction appertained to the heavy mustache; and*the hol low beneath tho high'cheek bone, the crow's feet around the eyes, tho tanned, weather beaten ruddiness of his complexion, might have beto kened honorable sorvice in poison ous swamps or under burning skies instead of shifty, footsore wander inns with alternate hours of want and wickedness. He dragged himself to tho dusty grass beneath the "Five Ashes" at thc four crossroads. He was faint, for the hill had tried him, and sat panting with his back against a tree. Then he opened his box and began rolling infallible pills between his filthy finger and thumb. Their composition was a secret, but doubt less they did some people a lot of good. por twenty years his heart had never softened with a sentiment, his soul never quickened with an inspi ration, and now his wandering eye, resting on a finger post across the road, mechanically read: "Upton* Leigh. Sutton-Darcy." All so familiar once, and the last his birthplace ! A strange impulse, absolutely un reasonable, for recognition might still be dangerous, took possession of him, an irresistible desire to see thc place again, even though it were by stealth at night. From the boughs above his head came the "pink, pink," of a chaffinch, and through the filth and fog of a quar ter of a century of evil, indistinct in the fumes of drink and smothered in its own futility, gleamed a rem iniscence clear and sharp as the bird's note : An old farmhouse thatched and stone built, with mullioned win dows; in the.garden a *all pear tree, with yellow buds c'istening in the carly spring, and beneath a youth with a gun peeping to get a shot; then a man in breeches and hose, elderly, but hale, drawling half hu morously, "Why, Jack, my bwoy, thy shots do hot off more buds than all the chaffingers." The old people must be gone now, for Jack was the youngest and the favorite five, and thirty years ago. s Muttering against his own" folly, he slung on his box and limped along the Sutton road. At evening he entered the Cups, an inn on the outskirts of Sutton. Everything waa as formerly-the same bench and stools, the same oak settle by the hearth. Two laborers playing at shovelboard called each', other familiar names, and the sing song of their voices brought back the past. "What parish may this be, please?" ho asked. ' "Zutton," replied both Aba and Abe. "A large village ?" " 'Tidden zo terrie large." "Small?" " ,ffidden zo wonderful smalL" Satisfied with the subterfuge of these, questions, he Bat down and continued eagerly; "Any o' the name of Craddock live here now?" , "Craddock, eh?" grinned Aha. "What dost zay, Abe?*7 "Koo fear," said Abe. He hesitated, but the longing to know overcame his judgment like the craving of a vice. "And the farm at the foot of the hill-who lives there?" "Mr. Craddock, be sure-Varmer William." "When I came this way-before, somebody - people called Sand ford"- "* "Ha, ha*" laughed Abs. "Then you bo a woldish bird, not hatched last summer. Why, the old man have a-bi? dead these twenty year, an' the maid married Varmer Wil liam, an* he took on the farm. But years avore she thought to V mar ried one Jack. But he took to ho'se racen, so 'tes said, an' signed some body's name an* bolted. Never did den hear no more o' he. But yon be a old file. What dost zay, Abe?" "Noo fear 1" said Abe. John Craddock nervously rose, straightened his back and fell into bis familiar patter. "Yes. I'm an old soldier, wound ed in the trenches before Sevastopol and starved at Cawnpur, and when i'd spilt my blood and ruined a fi;:^ constitution in the service of my na tive land they gave me my discharge and threw me upon the world with out ?a perrny. But, happily,/among tbeipnaonera taken by tho Sririah forces nit that memorable wat waa the yrivate physician to the ranee of dbansi. Seeing me writhing with rheumatism-to which, gentlemen, I was then a martyr-his feeling heart confided to me under an oath of ?ecrecy^the inestimable blessing of a never' failing remedy. These pEls, gentlemen,-taken in time are a reliable cure. If yon have ever seen crooked lejra, stiff afms or A.back^aa i bowed as a r?api?gT?ook, take a cou ple of these pills-four and twenty in each box. The price is twopence, and I guarantee if kept dry the con tents will never deteriorate. Thank yon, gentlemen. I wish? you good evening." His glibness had been successful; but, ill at case, he shuffled on to Ce old house with the pear tree, A sil ver maned colt was reaching over the paddock rail, the image of the roan mare they used to call Rube. All was quiet and prosperous, and in the garden path stood the familiar figure. He slunk into the shadow of tho churchyard wall. Yet it was only Diclc grown into tho substan tial staidness of his father's place. He went to the low thatched house standing all askew with the stalls and the wagon shed where he i and Dorothy used to* meet. He would sleep that night in ene of the wagons, lt was scarcely dusk, but the lifo came back quite clearly. Work was over, and nobody would come, so he went in and climbed up out of sight. He heard a light step and peered over tho tailboard. There stood the Doll Sanford of years ago, with bud ding womanhood beneath tho open neck of her print frock. She had run out in haste. Her lips were parted. He could see her face look ing toward the gate into the or chard. Then came a firmer step just as when they said ho was too wild for their Dorothy. "I mustn't stay tonight, Jack." "A few minutes, Doll." 'The maid's out. Mother'll miss me." "Doll!" "Jack!" They kissed close to the wagon wheel and were gone. He could not help it. Come what would he must go to the house, and presently he crossed the yarrj, en tered the porch and knocked. "Nothing today, thank you," said a sharp voice through tho partly opened door. He remembered tho Craddock rule, never to give money nor refuse bread. "Will you give me a bit to eat?" he begged. Without a word she disappeared, but came' back, bringing also a cup of cider. "Isn't this Mr. Craddocks ?" ?It is." '?I knew one of that name once Jack Craddock. We were chums. I was by when he was killed. I've got something of his now." "Killed ?" she echoed, trembling. ??Yes. It was in the trenches be fore Sevastopol" She gave a sharp cry and sank into the stone seat in the porch. A burly figure came from the house. '?What's this? What's this ?" he blustered and seized the tramp by the collar and shook him. '?Don't, William," pleaded the wo man. ??It's nothing. He has done nothing." He shuffled nervously into the highroad and stood there in the twilight beneath the pale summer stars. Had she recognized him? He could tramp no farther that day, and again he slunk across the yard and climbed into the wagon. At dawn he would trudge on-far from the village-out of the district. At daybreak came the horses, but they did not wake him. "Here's thik tramp feller. God, he's dead! What dost zay, Abe?" Abe solemnly said, "Noo fear!" Ticklish. An American who was touring Ireland took a jaunting car six miles cut of Dublin. His driver, a most genial and witty fellow, informed him entertainingly about all points of any interest on the road. Finally they stopped at a tavern to get a glass of beer. As the driver alighted from his seat there approached him the raggedest person the American had ever seer:; The driver, who waa a well dressed fellov, seemed over joyed to meet the maui of rags and tatters. He literally threw his arms around him, exclaiming as he did BO, ??Why, Barney, lad, it*8 glad I am to see you." When the American and his driv er wore; on the road again, the Amer ican remarked, ?'That "friend of yours was quite an extraordinary person." ??He's the best friend I have in the world," responded the driver. '?Indeed. Rather poor, I should say." "Oh, it be his clothes that set you n-thinking of that, but you're wrong. He's rich. But I'll tell yon about him.

SHAPE OF THE HMl?toS Itt Contour Decides Whether lt Will Be Curly or Straight. Normally straight hair cannot be made to curl naturally or perma nently owing to ita contour, which is cylindrical. The contour of the hair ia either cylindrical, oval or flattened. Wheth er a hair is to bo curly or straight ia largely dependent upon its contour. The more oval or flattened it ia the more it will bo curled. Cylindrical or straight hair ia ever "n its construction from root to P"int. In other words, tho iibcrs of tlie middle layer arc disposed regu larly and evenly around the central pith, and hence a perfect cylinder is thc result As this- fibrous portion is tho scat of elasticity and Ftrength it follows that the tension must ho equal on all sides of tho hair shaft; conse quently there can he no twisting of the hair upon its central axis; there fore it must hang or grow straight without wave or curl. Naturally curled hair is oval in contour, tho fibrous portion being unevenly distributed-that is, not in tho center of tho hair shaft, but on one side ; hence a coiling or curl ing ensues. Hair being hygroscopic, it is from this fact liable to have ita curling properties influenced by tho state of the atmosphere. Thcreforo natural ly curled hair becomes more curled when tho hair is surcharged with moisture. But artificially curled hair invariably becomes straight ened and lank at tho first approach j of dampness, for tho reason that the ! fiber cells of the hair shaft, which have been stretched and then baked into an abnormal position by tho use of thc hot curling iron, becom ing moistened, lose their crispnesfi and finally assume their normal con dition, and the "curls" no longer ex ist. . A Witty Courtier. One of the difficulties of royalties --one of the things that account foi the tendency to selfishness which has been considered ono of thc weaknesses of tho royal casto-i? that they so seldom hear the truth One could give many examples ol this in even tho lighter affairs ol life. For instance, when Louis XIV was once playing at backgammon, c favorite game with him, a disputo arose as to a doubtful throw 01 the monarch. Thok courtiers, appeolec to by the king, said nothing, no1 daring to give a verdict against thc king, not caring to tell too palpable a lie. The Comte de Grommont en tered at this awkward moment, one the king asked bim to decide thc matter. The witty courtier repli?e without a moment's hesitation "Your majesty is in the wrong/ "How," said Louis, "can you decide before you know the question P "Because," replied the count, "hoc there been any doubt all these gen tlemen would have given it m favoi of your majesty."

I then laid myself flat on the ground to listen, as it was very dark But I suddenly fancied I could see the enemy in front of me kneeling I sprang to my feet, determined tc cut some cf them down before I wai overpowered and shot, and, dashing forward, I slashed right and left un til daylight broke over me, when J found that I had beheaded 500 roc cabbages!" 81 r Joshua Reynolds.

"NEW WOMAN" AND ANCIENT. _ Mannish Garb For Female Wear Not an Innovation. Ono o? the pet reproaches moue; against the new woman .is that<ia| her unseemly longing to stand upon1 the same footing as lier ? aforotlmot lord and master she invented tho fashion of wearing garments of a morinish cut. This is most unjust, and abo mayi readily be proved guiltless o? tho charge by a trifling investigation ot thc fashions of ancient times and off conservative countries, where the poor things arc as unemancipated as possible and still wear the eamc stylo of garments as their forcmoth ers of a thousand years ago. Thc Chinese lady, as every travel er testifies, is one of tho most mod est, retiring and conventional of creatures, yet the wears clothes al most exactly like thoso of her hus band and brothers. Indeed in China trousers are considered much moro proper as feminine garments than skirts. Tho Turkish woman's dress ia identical with that of tho husband who keeps her so carefully shut away from all newfangled notions, and the Eskimo woman clothes her little fat legs in tight sealskin breeches, finished oil with smart fur topped boots. Thc happy woman of Siam, who has never been obliged to go in for woman's rights, having always been as free as air and the equal of any man of lier acquaintance, wears, like every man in the kingdom, a square of cotton or silk curiously adjusted about tlie legs and fastened by tuck ing two of thc ends through at thc waist in what travelers describe as n perilously insecure manner. Looking back at thc good old times to which those who disapprove of the new woman aro so fond of referring, very carly in tho world's history can be found instances of women adopting mannish clothes when they were suitablo and con venient. The Greeks, with their hunting goddess, their amazons and their swift atalantas in the athletic games, have shown us how beautiful woman can be in thc short tunic worn by the youths. But no doubt even then old folks mentioned a pre historic timo when girls were not 6o bold.-Chicago Chronicle. Happy Peterl 'A clergyman was sitting in his study one evening hard at work on the following Sunday's sermon when a visitor was announced.

"Well, maybe you'll remember o' marryin' a oouple o' strs igers at your church a month egor** The clergyman referred to his diary for a moment and then said: "What were the names ?"

They are curious creaturesj the head being very small and scarcely distinguishable from the bodv iui.3 the tail being formed Ufa on oar. In length tl icy are generally between three and four feet. In the jaws thore ore tiny glands contain ing poison, but as the mouth is very small it is difficult for them to bite, and the natives handle them fear lessly. M. Kermogant, a European traveler, recently witnessed an ex periment at Noumea which shows that under pertain conditions the sea serpent con do deadly work. A rat was caught in a trap, and its tongue was grasped by a nair>of pinchers and placed in the mouth of a sea serpent.

But tho other replied in a whisper: "Be still, you fool 1 Do you fancy I am speak ing in earnest ? If I once touca tho shore, I shall not give him o tallow candle."
