OGOOOOOOOOOCOOCOOCC ooococo 8 A CASUIST 8 OODCOOOOOOOCXXXXXXXOOOOOOO Tho circumstances that led to Ernest Marsden'? withdrawal from London have never been properly explained. By day lie was employed -at an ollico in"Cornhill, lt was there ithat I made his acquaintance. Our .duties brought us a good deal to gether, and u considerable intimacy sprang up betweeu us. Things were in this condition -when 1 called one night at my em ployer's private house ou u business matter tliut had been overlooked. I was shown into the drawing room. From an adjoining apartment I .could hear at intervals thc voices of .two mon. in violent altercation. After a time air. Henderson appear ed in thc drawing room and asked me to accompany him into thc other room. Ernest 'Marsden, thc only -occupant, received me with a grate ful Emile. "I have asked you to take part in .this conversation," said my employ er, "because- I believe you to be a friend of Mr. Marsden's. I have been robbed, and your friend is tho ?only possible culprit. At half past 12 today an amount of ?(30 was paid io me personally in gold and notes. Before going out I locked it up in the safe in my private room, a safe to which you and Mr. Marsden lune tthe only other keys.' Mr. Marsden, .whom I left at work in my room, went out about ten minutes later. I 4im assured by the clerks in the <outer office that no one else entered tho room during my absence. I re turned in half an hour. The safe was Jocked, but vhen I opened it I tfound that the gold (?40) had dis appeared. I have told Mr. Mars den that if he will make a clean Abreast of everything and restore the money he may retire from my em ployment quietly without scandal." This statement upset ruc a good ?deal. I hoped, of course, that my tfriend could clear himself of tho ac .cusation. My own position in tho matter was none too pleasant. Al though I had had leave of absence for the day, I had been obliged to ?come back for my purse, which, by :a strange oversight, I had left in the pocket of my office jacket. Unfor tunately I had returned to the of fice about 12:30 o'clock. Finding the door of Mr. Henderson's sanc tum unlocked-the door, I mean, , opening directly into the passage I had slipped in and out without ap parently those in thc outer office naring noticed my return. Mars den, however, had met me upon the stairs. To make things more ugly, I had that very day come into the possession of a sum of money under -circumstances that could not have been made public. To my great re lief, Marsden made no reference to our meeting, although aware, no ?doubt, of tho, effect it would have in .diverting suspicion from himself. The scene that followed was a sexy painful one: Marsden insisted upon his innocence, and bitter speeches passed on both sides. I fancied at one time during a lull in the storm that I caught the sound ?of some one weeping in the next Toom. The conference broke up, having come to no conclusion. Mr. " Henderson, whom contradiction al ways lashed into a fury, followed Marsden into the hall, threatening him with exposure and imprison ment. Suddenly the drawing room door burst open, and a tall, proud looking girl swept into the hall. I w?l not attempt to repeat verbatim what she said. Some of it has es caped me, and tho rest, without her dark eyes and impassioned bearing, seems ordinary enough. Marsden had_proposed to her a . year previously and had been refus ed. His constancy in the face o? ?very discouragement had touched her deeply, and lately she had come to realize" that her feelings toward him were completely changed. Un der ordin?r}' circumstances she would have waited for him to ad dress her again. Of his continual devotion he had given her many elo quent, if silent, demonstrations, and now that his fortunes were at their lowest she askednas a favor to be al lowed to stand by his side and to fight his battles against all thc ..world. At the end of this speech, which was delivered with an incon Ic?ivable elevation of manner,' the girl would have flung herself upon her lover's breast, but he. repulsed her with ? strange gesture. "Don't touch me, Lucyl" he cried passion ... ately. "I stole it!" Two hours later I went around tc Marsden's lodgings, for in spite oi his confession I felt sure that my A ri end was not guilty of this bast thing. I found him busily engaged putting his belongings together. . "I am glad you have come," he enid after ari embarrassing silence. "Other people may think what they -like, but I could not beor that you should consider me a thief." "But the confession?" I stam mered. "Sit down," Marsden replied; "arid I will explain everything. Iiis explanation was briefly this: ?Twelve months before he had mod< S?ss Henderson an offer of mar xiage under the impression that th? fjirl was madly devoted to him iwhether he loved her he was not a tuat timo. sure. Within a.week o his rejection-ho had been refuse? -he knew for certain that- he di< not. After that he had m'fet Lue; 'Henderson frequently and ha< found tho mixture of friendlines . and pity with which slib treated hi" ,o exactly to his fancy. He know tim the girl thought she had darkens .. his existence forever, and he lia J encouraged her in this notion. He felt that he was acting the part of a glorified Major Dobbin and playing it uncommonly well. On one occa sion he had sung "The Devout Lov er" in her presence with so much feeling as to have affected even him self. That he was doing a great evil by this posing he had never re flected. Ile had not even dreamed that Miss Henderson's feelings to ward him were undergoing any change. When she had proclaimed her love for him that night ho had been for a second dizzy ut tho chasm that had opened before him. "Ami now you know/* he concluded, "why I confessed to the robberv." "But what the devil has all this to do with it?" I replied angrily. "What would you have done in my place?" "I-1"-progress was by no means rapid-"I suppose you could not have told lier straight out that you no longer loved her ?" "Insult her nt tho moment she was standing up for mc so magnifi cently !" "Well, then, have married her.'' "Quito out of the question. Im possible ! "As it is," he said, "tho connec tion has been severed, and her maid enly pride has not been wounded. 3Vs for me, I can go to another town and start afresh. Henderson has accepted the ?40 I have sent him, =and you, he and his daughter aro all who will know anything ol' this affair." I took up my hat to leave. "You won't let this interfere with our friendship?" said Marsden, holding out Iiis hand. "Ernest Marsden," I replied, "you ore either the greatest saint in crea tion or the meanest hound. 1 will write to you when I ascertain which." Since then Marsden has written to mu unce or twice, but 1 have nev er replied to him. I cannot make up my mind about his behavior. That he was wrong to have followed Miss Henderson wnen he knew that he did not love her is beyond ques tion. This being so, it is clear to mc sometimes that he ought to have married her, and his subsequent con duct appears mean beyond credence. To escape an unpleasant duty he dishonored his own name. * t other times it is equally obvious to mc that he ought not to have married her-a return of her affection was not to bc expected-and he chose a quixotically heroic method of spar ing her self pride. As I have said, I am as far from a decision as over, and all this while Marsden, my old chum, is suffering acutely from my TlOrrlnnf There is one question that de mands an answer. How was it that, in spite of his confession, I at no time believed in my friend's guilt? I had stolen the money myself. London Sketch. The Efficacy of Prayer. A lady tells of a conversation that once took place in a friend's house in Boston in which there were discussed certain phenomena of tt?q mind. Some one observed that it was a curious fact that no man could do one thing and think of an other. During the discussion a little girl of ten, the daughter of the host, was listening attentively. "I can do one thing and think of another," she said. "What is it?" asked her father. "Well/* she said, "it is very easy for me to say the Lord's Prayer and think of almost anything else I want to. I do it every night." Harper's Weekly. Judicial Indignation. Police Justice-You are charged with being drunk nnd trying to pass yourself off ns a campaign spellbin der. What have you got to say ?

The can give hor when, he catches her aluna behinds screen. Ile CrawlUhed Wheo five or six men get together and begin to talk stories, there is al ways more or less lying done, espec ially if they are only casual acquaint ances. Going down on the host from Natohez there were three or four "ri?gs" which hung together, and eaoh of us told some pretty tall stories. There was a man from Syracuse who laid himself out for a whopper, and when the rest of us were through ho settled back and said: "Gontlomen, tho ship which was carrying me to India was burned off the Island of Borneo, and I got away in a boat with a single sailor." "When was this?" aiked a native Mississippian, who was takvng a lot of mules down the river. "In 1858." "Exactly-go ahead." "Wc had neither water nor provis ions ie the boat," said the man, "and after drifting for three days I wanted to draw lot to see who should die. The Sailor refused." "His name?" asked the Mississip pian. "Foster, I believe." "You aro right; go ahead." "I suffered ono day more, and then, as he slept I killed him with my knife and drank his blood. It saved my life. Next day I waa pioked up by a ship. "And you killed the man, did you?" "I did." "And drank his blood?" "Yes." "Well, you are the man I've been looking for these many years. That sailor was my brother-my big broth er-the only brother I ever had!" "Ne!" "Yes, he was. Some of those who got away in another boat caw him go off with you and told me of it. Straegcr, the man who drinks my brother's blood has got to die!" "But you must be mistaken. I-I hardly thiak his name was Foster." "Oh, yes it was. ? Name was Foster -ship got afire-off the island of Bor neo-drifted about in a boat. It's all straight aud now I want satisfaction. Have you got a bowie knife about you?" "Look here, boys," said the Syra cuse man as he caught his breath "I'm in a box and have got to make a coufessioo. I was lying about that adventure from start to finish." "Sure of it?" demanded the Missis sippian, while everybody else laugh ed. "I know I was." "Didn't kill my brother aud drink his blood?" "Certainly not." "Well, then, that's all right, and I'm glad to hear it. I'm as humble ap a lamb on ordinary matters, but when it cornea to killing my brother the only brother I ever had-why, who wouldn't fight?" We asked the Syracuse man to give us something else, but he wouldn't do it. He wept off to his stateroom and tied up his head with a damp towel. New York Sun. Whiskey Swindlers. "About half the actions on the criminal dookets of the Territorial courts are whiskey oases," said Ben F. White, of Holdenville, I. T. "If an attorney likes to defend Buch cases he will find lots of work. "So earnest is the government in its efforts to make tho Indian ride in the water wagon that it provides a penitentiary penalty for introducing, selling, giving away or otherwise dis posing of the contraband. If you're driving with a companion on a frosty morning you may take a nip from your nerve reserve, but if you pass it to your seat mate you are amenable to the law. "Joking? Not a bit of it. In my capacity as lawyer I have been retain ed to defend three young men at next month's assizes for that identioal of fense. The charge is that a comrade tendered his flask, and they fell. That comes under the classification of giving away. The white man must be saved along with tho Indian. "A few weeks book a tall,red oheek ed fellow, wearing a drab ulster, board ed the Katy train's smoker, bound for Muscogee. I was in tho next coach to the smoker, also bound for Mus cogee. We were then in Kansas. "The tall man carried a basket, well covered, and containing something that clinked. His eyes beamed good naturedly and hospitality sparkled in every line of his sunset-tinted face. "He deposited his basket and mean dered through the oars. When he met a man who looked resentful at the sun-baked prairies he sought to oheer him. " 'Fine day, stranger, bai a little dry. Goin' into the territory?' ^ " 'What's it to yon?' the dusty traveler asked. " 'Oh, nothing-not a thing on ?a.'th-only I'-a bottle of brownish tinge carelessly worked its neok ont of the ulster-'I'm goin' down the line a bit, an' I thought as it waa some warm an' dry an' so long's von ean't get nothin' in the Territory may be-* , "The passen ger.suddenly woke np and became interested. j .'What's tho larii??' ho asked. " 'Just a dollar-a good half pint - Kentucky goods, guaranteed-bul?, whatever you dc, don't open it ri^ht bete-spotter just across yonder lhere, that's all right-thanks, very much. I'll trust your honor as a gen tleman till-you know!' "He sold 20 bottles at a dollar apiece, and when he left tho train at Muscogeo bc lit into the loving em brace of three deputy United States marshals. The spotter had wired ahead. If au officer of the Territory is keener on the scent of any ono thing more than anotherit's a boot legger. "A pair of hands grabbed tho deal er's basket and auother pair explored the cavernous pockets of the long ul ster. There were a few packages left. " 'Got you this time, old man!' ex claimed the leader. " 'Got me! What'vc 1 been doin'?' " 'I don't know; thc judge'll lind out." " 'But, say!' " 'Say what?' " "Have one on nie.' "The vender reached for one of his bottles, pulled the cork out ami pass ad it to the marshal, who had been doing the talking. The officer, noth ing loath to sample the goods in tho interest of law and order, opened the flack and started a stream on an in vestigating course. But not for long. The deputy threw the bottle savagely against a wall. What you call that miserable stuff?' bc said. " 'Stuff! Why, it's coffee-genuine Mocha; cost 30 cents a pound.' "Thc marshal let him go, but his customers are still looking for him." Macon, Mo., Cur. New iork Sun.
