Robert Ormsby Swccuoy is a druggist of St. Paul; anti though a rcoi nt chrono- j logical record rovonls the fact that ho ?a a direct doHCOildnnt ol :i sut'c-cnoilgh ' king, and though there is mighty goo I purple? royal blood in his vein - t', i dales back where ki uga usod to Inn something to do to carn their salary, li I goes right on with his regular bttsim selling drugs at tho groat saeriilec whic i j druggists will make sometimes in 01 to place their goods within lite reach ol all. As soon asl leann ii that Mr. Swoonoy j hud barely escaped hoing a now.I head. I got acquainted ? ah liim and tried tochcor him np. ami I tobi him that people wouldn't hold Iii ti ill nu way responsible, and that, a- it ll ail I) I | jdiown itself in his family for year ;, ho j might perhaps finally wear it out. lie isa mighty pleasant nam anyhow, | mid yon can have just as much I lt) with | him ns you could with a mau who dido" 1 have any royal blood in hts veins. lint 1 was going to speak more ii ; particular about Mr. Swconoy's cat. Mr. i Sweeney had a large eat named Dr. I Mary Walker, of which he wis very | fond. Dr. Mary Walker remained tu ! tho drug-store all Iho time, and WI | known all over St. Paul as a quiet and reserved cat. If Dr. Marv Walloa- tool, in thc town after oflico flours nobody seemed to know anything about it- She would bc around bright and cheerful tho next morning, and attend to her duties al tho .store just as though mail ing whatovor had ever happened. Ono day last Bummer Mr. Swoonoy loft a large plate of lly-paper with wil leroo it in thc window, hoping io gath or in a few quarts ot Hies in a deceased state. Dr. Marv Walker used to go lo 'his window during the afternoon and look out on thc busy ft root while .she ?allied un pleasant memories of hor past life. That afternoon sho thought sin would call up sonic more memories, so elie went over on thc counter, and from lhere jumped down on the wimbi-, landing with all four feet in thc pinto of fly-paper. At litet she regarded it as a juke and treiUed tho matter very lightly, bm lalor on she observed that the lly-paper stuck to her feet With great toil licit)' of pur pose. TIlOSO who have llover seen tho look of surprise and (loi p sorrow that a cat wcaro when she linds herself gined to a wdiolo shoot of fly-parfor cannot fully appreciate thc way Dr. Mary Walker felt. She ditl not dash wildly through a $160 plate-glass window, as Koino cats would have done. Shu con trolled herself, and acted in thc coolest manner, though you could have soon thal mentally she BU Herod iutouseiy. She sat down a moment to more fully outline a plan for thc fllllll'O. In doing 60 sho made a great mistake. Thc gest ure resulted in gluing thc fly-paper to her person in such a way that tho edge turned up behind hui-ia tho most abrupt manner and caused her groat Incon venience. " Some one at that lime laughed ina coarse and heartless way, and 1 wash you cou! I have seen the look of pain ?hat D . Mary Walker gave him. Then she went away. Sho dui not a.. around thc proscription oaso as thc res I of ur, did. bul strolled through the mid dle o? il, and so on out through thc ?jla.ss door at tho rear of thc store. Wo . lid not seo her <j;o through thc glass door, bul wc. found pieces of fly-paper and fur on Juc ragged edges of a largo aperture in the glass and wo kind ol jumped at thc conclusion that Dr. Mary Walker had taken thai direction in re tiring from tho room. Dr. Mary Walker never returned to St. Taid, and her exact whereabouts an not known, though every effort wai made to lind her. Fragments of lly-pa per and brindle hair were found as far west as thc Yellowstone National Park, and as far north as thc iiritisn Uno, bm the Doctor herself was not found. My own theory is, that if she turned hor bow to the wc so as to catch thc strong eaatcrly palo . her quarter, with tho sail she had set and her tail pointing directly toward the /.onitli, tho chances for Dr. Mary Walker's immediate re turn arc extremely lon.

The platforms aro groundwork, for (ho oarth and sod, which aro very skillfully joined to their painted semblances on tho canvas; bushes and trees aro planted; earth works and log-camps aro built;-every thing is dono with careful intent to mako tho foreground and painting ap pear as one whole landscape, and so to join the two in meaning and color ns to mako it nearly impossible for a spccta? tator lo determine nt any point which is tho real and which (he painted scene. This work calls for very careful judg ment, as it is necessary to anti le tho ex act relation in size Willoh real objects shall boar to those in thc painting. An ordinary cap or hat placed upon tho foreground near thc eanvas would scorn prodigious, though (he saino hat, (brown upon tho ground nour the platform OC cupiod by tho spectator, would nut :?!? tract notice.

It ia needless to say that tIto let U r did not improve Mrs. Torry's slate tii mind. After thinking a while she se: tl tran for thc young woman, and caught her in it. 'Then she called on her nt nor homo lo give her a talking n>. and gol turned out for her pains. That warmed her up ?till inore, and her : a ixl stop was to make n charge Against ibo young woman of appropriating cer tain money that sho said sho missed. i in H came the police-court sensation, in which the two women played prom inent parts, and which the reporters iiad ti line time writing up.
