THE MISSING WITNESS.
“ Tin afraid it’s a bad caac,” I said to
myself, as I laid down my briof alter
reading it over for the third or fourth
time, and leaned back in my chair to re
consider it for about the twentieth. •* A

I was a barrister, yorfng both in years
and in professional standing, and this
was the tint brief of any importance X
had ever held. My client waa an Ital
ian sailor named Luigi Bernini, and the
crime of which he waa accused was rob
bery; the plunder being a life long sav
ings of a woman upwards of eighty years
of age. which the poor creature kept
hide ten in the thatch of her little cabin.
The witnesses were the old woman
herself, who had been stunned by a
severe blow from the perpetrator of the
theft, and a neighbor wha daposad to
having met the prisoner in the imtnodi
ale vicinity of the cabin. When Berni
ni was am-'ted some days later, a curi
ous foreign coin, idrmined as a part of
the stolen hoard, was found in hi* Dock

had grown from play-fellows into friends,
and s nee her marr age her house in
Carr garvan had been my rest 5 ng-place

tardy appearance. She was somewhat
h match maker, and having no one but
m\ self on whom to exercise her
talents, she had devoted them ex
clusively to my service. She had al
ready decided upon a suitable
wife for nje, and was now exerting her
self to the. utmost to br ng about the
marriage. The chosen young lady waa
present, and I knew that Alice waa
much annoyed with me for devot ng
the evening to my brief instead of to
Dora Lyne. The latter waa the daugh
ter of a solicitor in good practice, and
waa herself a very pretty, bright look
ing girl, who would, 1 wa* com nailed to

young unknown barrister.

I returned home at dinner time, tired
and baffled, to report my failure to Al
ice and her husband, from whom 1 re
ceived much sympathy but do sugges
tion o: any practical value. 1 had giv
en up hope, and was endeavoring to dis
miss the subject from my thoughts,
when late in the evening the hall door
bell sounded and a message came up
that a person wanted to apeak to Mr.
Lestrange. Going down, I found wait
ing for me a bright looking boy, ope of
the shop aa-istants at Morrison'* who
had been for a abort time aiding 1 In my
investigation of the entries.
“I think I have what you want, air,* 1
he said, aa i entered .be room, “it
was in my mind all that day that I had
given out that liook to some ono, I
couldn't think who. and a chance word
that 1 heard this evening brought it all
back to me like a flash. It was to Mrs.
French, of Redcourt, that I gave it, and
it must have been on the 3d or 4th of
May. Here is thedary’s name and ad

paper on which waa written “Mrs.
French, Redcourt, Kilearran.” It waa
in Kilcarrae or the neighborhood that,
according to Bern infs own statement,
he had spent the day of the robbery.
Thanking and dismissing the lad, I
returned to the drawing room with my
prise. The next step waa to com mum-,

fully fifteen miles from Carrigarvan,
and the trial waa to begin tbe following

Those who reed the “ woman's
column’’’of a weekly paper must be im
pressed by owe carious fact: the fair
enters are far too fond of confiding their
domestic troubles to the general public.
One asks for sympathy because her hus
band abuses her, and samher deplores
her husband’s profanity.- Others at
tempt to be witty and smart at the ex
pense of “old maids.” Then the “old
maids ” retaliate ; and so it goes until
wiser people are disgusted. What com
fort can be in bringing one’s family
woes before the public through the me
dium of the newspapers ia to us incom
prehensible. Nothing is gained by so
doing, the troubles are none the less
grievous, and little sympathy is given to
people who have not sufficient fortitude
to endure them without murmuring.
These ore the women who complain that
they do not have their “rights.” But
when they say their literary work is not
treated with aa much consideration as
that of men, they say what is not true.
Any one, by glancing at the list of
contributors to our ablest and most popu
lar periodicals, will find nearly, and in
some cases, quite one-half, the names
those of women. There are said to be
in the United Htatee sixty lady editors,
while many others have positions oo edi
torial staffs. No one will deny that a
book written by a woman gains recogni
tion and commendation aa readily as one
written by a man. Ladies no longer find
it necessary to assume masculine noin*
dee plumes, in order to receive attention
from the world. But there is a vast dif
ference between honest, meritorious
literary work and querulous complain
ing. and ill-advised scribblers must ex
pect the fact to be recognised. —Chicago

“ Perhaps they are in the small cities,
bat not here. Broadway smokers can
not be cheated so easily. The most of
them hare been brought op on first-class
good*, aod therefore whenever a dealer
tries to palm off aa inferior article they
can tell the difference in a minute. They
not only recognise the quality of the
eigart, bat can even tell the prior of al
most any brand submitted to their ia-
■{isction.
“ The cigarette busineM done la this
city to enormous,’’ said the deafer, ae he
passed a couple of buaohes to a young
on-tomer. "Oae of the leading manu
facturer* can’t make them fast enough
to keep up with tbe orders. Oar sales
are confined almost exclusively to young
men and hoys. Little fellows not mors
than six or seven yean of age come in
here to buy cigarettes tor themeelves.
The average smoker uses two bunches
daily. I have known some smokers to
use as many as four bunches.'
