"Allow me to congratulate you.'
Wilkins .was seated at his desk trying to
perauade his energies into activity aga.in
af.ter a vacation oif three weeks. The Ions
and short o<f it was, Wilkins had got mar-
ried, so the vo'iice of one begging for the
privilege of offering • congratulations iwas
not entirely unexpected.
He looked up at the »petaker, but could
not place him among the list of his ac-
quaint anoas.
MI see you do not know me," said the
stranger, "ibut I read the notice of your
marriage in a newspaper, .and we rely
came i-n to shake hands with you.. I repre-
sent a number of life -insurance companies,
amy one of which lis woi'thy of your con-
sideration. Now that you are married, 'my
dear Mr. Wilkins-^have a cigar, won't
you—I suppose it wiiil be your purpose and
endeavor >at the ouitset to provide for your
wife's welfare In tease you should be called
away. Life, my dear friend, is very, very
uncertain," and the agt^nt looked at hie
victim long and hard. Wiping a phantom
tear from his left eye, and tenderly plac-
ing the sit unnp of his cigar l'h his vt>st
pocket for future use, he continued, Wil-
kins listening resignedly:
"Yes, sir, even in life iwe are in the midst
of death. The young go as well as the
old. 'Tis a hard fate that leaves a young
wife alone to battle with the cruel world
after a few -mon'ths of married life "
Ain other tear.
"But the 'company I represent can re-
lieve you of all fear of death, my young
friend, and plaice you in a position where,
i'f the destroyer should get his hands 011
you, there will be no terror, for you will
know that your fiamily will live in afliu-
enee; yes, sir, in lattluence."
'Wilkins had forgotten all about his books
and wa>s uncertain wheiher to 'Send for an
ax or notify the police that a dangerous
confidence man was at large. He did nei-
ther, 'however, hut resolved to see what in-
ducement's the agent would offer, mentally
vowing never to let Ms name appear in
print again.
"I wish you would come over to my office
witfh imt," continued the indefatigable
agent, "and 1 w.ill soon 'convince you that
all I say Is true. .Remember, my dear
young friend, that life Is like a slender
thread that may be severed at any time
and "
There wa3 a knock at the door and the
office boy admitted a tall man who -seemed
to be in a great 'hurry to lind somebody.
He said he wanted to see .Mr. Wilkins on
'business of great importance. The office
iboy ushered him into the room where the
insurance man was vainly trying to per-
suade Wilkins to accompany him.
The 'newcomer and the insurance dgent
glared at each other. Evidently they had
met before.
"Is this Mr. Wilkins?" asktd the tall one.
."Yes, sir; what can I do for you?" Wil-
kins repllied, beginning to fear that he had
two to 'contend with instead of one.
"I would like a few moments of private
•conversation with you if you can accord me
that privilege," said the late arrival, still
glaring at the other.
">My dear friend," he whispered, "do you
know who that fellow is you have been
talking to? You never met him before, I
•suppose? Well, although I am t'he last man
on earth who would speak a word that
would injure a fellow being, 1 must warn
you against this person, lie is an agent
for a so-called life insurance company that
(has never paid a loss and is 'about to fail.
Pro-bably he wants to insure you. Let me
warn you in time. , Hi's company will
not be in existence one year from to-day.
(Not only that, but this agent—Dunn, his
name Is—has served ti'ine for stealing
■money from a poor widow with five chil-
dren. il really ibeMeve he would pick a
man's pocket if he had a good chance."
Wilkins felt for his pockehbook. It was
still in his inside coat pocket, where he
had plaiced it when he paid out his last
dollar to a Pullman car porter a few days
■before.
"I am glad I came just as I did," con-
tinued the self-appointed friend. "You
haven't consented to insure in his com-
pany, have you? No? Well, don't do it.
You have just been married, and "
MHow do you know I am married?" asked
Wilkins.
"I read it in the paper. I watch the
society columns of the great dailies, you
see; for newly married men are usually
planning for the future, and I can help
-them. My name is Dobbins. 1 represent
one of the most benevolent and most pow-
erful corporations in the country. For
a stated sum intrusted to us each year we
agree to settle a large income on the
widow of every man who comes under our
care and protection. An insurance com-
pany? No, not. exactly that. Insurance
com/panies are organized to make money,
you know. This is an organization of rich
men who agree to pay at death to the
beneficiaries of their friends live, ten or
ttfteen thousand dollars, as the case may
ibe. You are a young man who will rise
in the world and become worthy of the
liberality of the organization I represent;
you need only to pay a small sum each
year to help defray a few minor expenses
of the institution and at your death your
wife will receive a handsome amount of
money. If you will come with me I will
introduce you to our president."
Wilkins looked 'hopelessly from Dunn to
Dobbins and those two glared at each other
as before.
"Gentlemen," isaiid Wilkins desperately,
liit. is useless for you to waste arry time
with me. I have heart disease, am pre-
disposed to -consumption—bcwtUi of my par-
ents dl.ed of -that disease—I have the gout,
and; not a day passes <that 1 do not fall
to the floor iim an epileptic fit."
Dunn slid from ihiis «wut oin the desk and
'Oarrre over to the earner where Wilkins
and Dobbins were standing. Both agents
chimed ;im alt once to explain that Wlilkiins'
physical condition made 110 difference? that
all tlhose little ail me nits could be cured
easily.
/'Come over to my office and I wiill con-
vince you," pleaded Dunn.
"No; tot me introduce you »to< our presi-
dent, isiadd Dobbins, catching WilMns bv
the right arm, Dunn, seeing that 'he might
lose his man, grasped t'he left arm and
'tine two 'agents pullied in opposite direc-
tions, oventurn.iing several chairs in their
efforts to get Wilkins to accompany 'them.
The latter 'finally released himself from
ftheur grasp and said:
"I will talk this matter over with my
wife and see you to-morrow at 3 o'clock "
That night Will kins talked insurance to
Ms wife. She cried. He tried (to ex-
plain to her the dnitrloacJes of liife (insurance
and became tangled up in a confusion of
endowments, cash values, premiums amid
expenience tables. T.he agents called upon
him the nexit day and for several day a
following, but he "talked off." He waw
interested, /however, -and resolved to get
to life insured. Being suspicious of agents,
he investigated the standing of several
companies and finally selected one that
he thought was sound. The medical exam-
iner told htm th'ait the would probably live
for some Mine unless sometlhing unforeseen
'happened, but that he muwt agree not to
engage in .hazardous occupations like the
following:
Not to smoke a cigar when seated on a
keg c*r powder.
Not to speak otf wiater while in Kentucky
or Missouri.
Not to explore Aifrlca in summer.
Not to igo in search of the north pole.
Not to iwalk a tight rope over Niagara
falls, attempt to shoot the rapids in a bar-
rel or jump from Brooklyn 'bridge.
Not to be in thie vicinity when any per-
son is handling an unloaded shotgun.
Not to kill himself (Within itiwo years,
whether sane or Insane.
Not to ibecome a parachute jumper.
{ Not to wander about on lake and sea
; bottoms as a professional diver.
Not to attempt to vote a republican ticket
in Georgia.
Armed with a poltoy for $!>000 Wilkins
went home and presented the document
proudly to his wife, telling her with a
tremulous voice that the »time might come
when she would have to wear 'black, Put
that she would get some comifort In the
thought that she Could think of her de-
parted whenever she had occasion to draw
on her $5000 bank account.

THE SOLAROMETER.
Philadelphia Record.
The compass may yet disappear from the
sea. The little needle, by the aid of which
intrepid mariners have for centuries chart-
ed file Vast ocean, developed a sudden
fickleness to the pole as soon as the com-
pass was placed aboard' the iron and steel
ships of this age. So erratic have been the
needle's deviations that, without frequent
comparisons with some knuwn standard,
the helmsman would have been afraid to
trust the Instrument as a nautical guide
over t'he trackless waters. For the first
time in the history of navigation an ap-
pliance has been invented which seems to
be absolutely accurate and trustworthy in
the determination of the course of ships
at sea. Lieutenant W. H. Beehler of the
I'nited States navy, appears to have
achieved this triumph in his delicate and
beautiful solarometer, the telescope of
which is so floated upon successive layers
of quicksilver, in a vessel hung upon gim-
bals, that the heaviest sea will evidently
be unable to disturb *ts dead level. The
authorized government deep-sea trial of the
first model on the North German-Lloyd
steamer Weimar will decide the fate of the
old-style compass.
STEERAGE FIGURES COMPARED.
Tlie steamer Germanic arrived In New
York August 13 with 322 steerage passen-
gers, while the Majestic, which sailed from
New York last Wednesday, took eastward
1025 passengers in the steerage. These fig-
ures are startling as showing ithe great
preponderance of eastward steerage travel
over the westward. The Majestic was
booked to carry 1050 in the steerage Wed-
nesday, but she was obliged to transfer
twenty-five of this number to 'the Noirth
German Lloyd steamer Weser, on account
of crowded accommodations. The next In-
coming steamer of the W'hite Star line is
the Teutonic, which left Liverpool last
Wednesday. Her agents in England have
cabled that she has on board 650 steerage
passengers.
NO CHANGE I'N STEERAGE RATES.
The rate war is still on, but since the
advance to $15, which was reported some
time ago, there has been no Change in the
situation. A well-known Broadway ticket
agent, says that lie has noticed no dimlnu
ition in the number of bookings under the
$15 rate as compared with the $10 rate.
A BRITISH SCHOONER LIBELLED.
The Margaret Murray, a 300-ton schooner,
Captain Thomas Waters, on August 6, 1893,
cleaved the port of Caen, France, without
having lirst procured a consular bill of
health. She arrived at New York on June
6 and on August 6 a cable dispatch or-
dered 'the captain's' arrest for violating the
law, the penalty of which Is $5«00. The
vessel was seized and placed in charge of
United States marshals. The case was set-
tied Ivy Captain Waters paying the fees
and costs, amounting to about $45.
Captain Waters said that the consul a>t
Caen refused a bill of health unless lie and
his crew were vaccinated', to which tliey
refused to consent and sailed away.
