who hail nurvlve.l their own death. In

their prfislii'd minds. Helen shrank
aside and stood fas' lnated while they

or wistfully. A sudden appreciation
of her own youth and health and sani-

Deman, but even the must gentlemanly
of lunatics was not a companion to

lilac bush. She felt that she was white

but she tried not to show her alarm,
t'onlidence, she had always heard, was
Dcisled in dealing w ith the insane. The
n,.in moved more cautiously and llxed
an umlerfating gaze upon Helen.
"Madam," said the man in a particu-

bethought In.self of an experiment.
Kin- would s .,in determine whether or
not the i ,::i had a gleam of reason.

to the Sa.v. "Why, Indeed, 1 thought

man moved a little nearer, and Helen
ventured to go still fio ..ier around the
llhic bush. lie stopped still, and thcy
faced each other over the low shrub-
bery. What an agreeable looking crea-
tun; he was, with his soft brown eyes,
hm long, delicate face and Ills high
brow! He looked as if he might have

he bad been, but had gone one step
further. Helen had not read Lombro-
ao for nothing
-Do you ever write poetryT' she ask-

The man blushed. Helen had uot
dreamed u lunatic would blush.
"When I fpund a fitting subject," he
confessed.
"Ah! And what should you consider

"Why—youf" Tie words came out

"1'isir child." he murmured. "How
aon> I am that I 1'rlghlciicd you. I'cr
haps I nitwit not to have run after you.
Hut I was afraid you would leave the
grounds and come lo some harm."
She would have liked to have ex-
plained to him that one need not come
to harm outside of ihelr grotimls. but
perhaps It was as well thill she thought
otherwise. She would lell him the
truth about herself. I'crimp* lie would
understand. Ah. what a pity that such
an engaging face should hide a ruined
mlud!
"You in list try to understand." she
said slowly, "that I do not live here In
tlif the biilhlliig. you know. I came to
visit a relative who is here. It seems
a pleasant place. Have you been here

"My dear young lady." cried lie. "I

walkiug a moment since. 1 a; •cach-

II i ii sunk gently down on the grass.
"1 thliiA I must rest a moment," she
said. "1 I am much surprised!" ller
tone indicated something more than
surprise. It confessed lo a great re
lief. She paid her visit to the asylum,
ami she and V ictor I.aw. her lunatic,
went back on the same train together.
To both of them the afternoon seeuied
the liiost Interesting of their lives.
"Why were there tears in your eyes."
she asked before they parted, "when
you talked with me at first V"
"Why. it seemed to me I hat I had
never encountered anything so bad as
a shattered mlud beyond eyes so -
please pardon me so beautiful as
yours. I know 1 am rude, but 1 must
speak tlie i rut It. If you had been mad.
I should have remembered you with
sorrow all the days of m\ life."
"Itcing sane, I suppose you will for-
get me'/"
Hut she knew well that he would uot
give himself the opportunity She was
quite certain that she should see him
often. It would have been a grotesque
anticlimax not t>> have met again alter
that afternoon.—St. bonis Star.

The incident of Seiior de Ucszke re-
fusing a check insultingly offered him
by Karon I'othschlhl after De Itcszke
had sung by request iu the baron's
drawing room recalls an incident that
happened a good many years ago in
the house that Honauza King Flood oc-
cupied on Kddy street, San I'rancisco,
before he built that gloomy pile on Nob
hill He had invited a celebrated visit-
ing violinist to dinner, and there wer •
a great many other guests. After din-
ner the violinist, much to his surprise,
was asked if he would not "play some-
thing." He said lie had not brought
his violin with him. Hut Flood would
not take that hint and insisted on send-
ing to tlie tnaestro's hotel for the vio-
lin anil did send, ami the owner played
on it and responded to two or three en-
cores. When he had done, fie laid
aside the violin, put his hand Into his
pocket, drew forth a cent piece,
threw It on the piano ami said: "Now.
Mr. Flood, ev-ry man to his trade. Mix
nie a cocktail."-Stockton (Oil.) Mall.

"Some years ago a certain bishop of
one of the stales south of Mason and
Dixon's line." said a southern gentle-
man, "was visiting some friends of
mine In Alabama whom, for conven-
ience sake, I will call the Smiths. The
bishop, returning from a walk, found
the family cat swimming around in
and vainly trying to get out of the bar-
rel from w hich the drinking water was
drawn.
"After rescuing pussy the bishop en-
t-red the house and. finding Mr. and
Mrs. Smith In the sitting room, men-
tioned the circumstance, whereat the
head of the house became somewhat
excited and went out, so he said, to
have the water butt changed. Mrs.
Smith, however, merely remarked:
'Dear little kitty, she often does that.
I only iiope the poor thing hasn't
cold.'
"The bishop during the balance of
bis stay regarded the water served at
table with an eye of grave suspicion."
—New York Tribune.
It-lull wit.
Two navvies, ill clad, dirt covered,
rain soaked, got possession of a heav-
enly nook between two high stone
walls while an extra heavy sleet show-
er prevailed. They had "hunkered"
low and were watching the smoke
wreaths mount from tlieir pipes. "Fin
totil," said one of them, breaking a
reverie, "I'm toul, Jamie, that the king
of .larmlny nlver smokes." Hoth re-
garded the wreaths again for a minute
In silence. "Poor man! I wouldn't
like to Iie him, I.arry; would you?"
Hetty Huran of Thrummoti was a
very pious old Methodist. Father Dan
often dropped luto Hetty's for a gossip.
"Hetty," nald Father Dan, "I always
find you stuck iu your Hlhlc. Now, tell
me truly, do you understand It all?"
"i if course I do," Indignantly. "Well,
well I've Iicon studying It all my life,
nud I don't understand it all yet."
"And If yer reverence Is a blockhead do
ye think every wan else like yerself?"
