"Did you over btrnip np against an In dividual who baffled yonr curiosity by drawing n veil of secrecy over his past?' queried tho young doctor, when it camo his turn to contribute a story to tho gen eral fund. "I used to think," ho con tinued, "that such characters emanated solely from tho fertilo brain of tho fiction writer. Eut I was mistakon. Not many years sinco I formed tho acquaintance of a man who was harder to mako out than the most ingenious creation of a novelist could possibly bo. A rrgular humau enigma in Bhort, and bo wasn't obliging enough, you know, to clear up tho mys tery before ho died either. It was early in tho '80 s," began tho doctor, lighting a cigar, "and I had just finished my medical studies and was trying to pick up a Uttlo practice in a pleasant village, in tho southern part of Wisconsin. Business diun t flourish by any means, but as I bad friends there, and was too poor, besides, to think of establishing myself in a large city, I was very weU content to remain there, for a while at least. "Thero were several churches in tho town, but at the timo of which I speak tho Congregational pulpit was empty. Numerous applications for tho position appeared, but none suited until at last one of tho trustees arrived homo after a short trip and anuounced that be bad found tho very person. A Kev. Mr. Ramsay it was whom ho had run across quite accidentally, and who, though traveling for his health, nan nnauy con sented to como out and preach a trial sermon and to remain indefinitely if his hearers were pleased. Weu, in dno timo Mr. Kamsay ar rived and delivered a discourse which, for eloquence and logic, I have never heard excelled. You may be sure tho church lost not a moment in engaging him, and thoy marveled much at their good luck, wondering that so talented a man should wish to stay and bury his gifts in such a small, obscuro town. "Tlio now acquisition speedily arose to the placo of first favorite in tho ranks of tho ministers. His rennons fairly scintillated with brilliancy, and wo soon found that ho certainly possessed a re markably fine education in tho bargain. Though ho never spoke of tho past, his conversation gavo evidenco of his having traveled extensively in pretty much every country on the face of the globe. Moreover ho was young, and such genial, warm hearted fellow that every. body liked him at first sight. They couldn t help it. "But, as I said, ho never alluded to his former life. For aught wo knew ho might havo been a bishop or a highway man, an American gambler, or the son of an English duke, but the church members were too proud of he prize they uau captureu to uo very cu rious about the previous record, and tho tonch of mystery clinging to him only rendered him his more at tractive to us. For my part, I thought tho strangest thing concerning him was that he seemed never to hold communi cation with anybody outsido tho town. A fellow so engaging anil companion able mnst havo mado friends wherover ho went, and yot so long as wo knew him ho didn't receive ono letter or tele gram from abroad not n Binglo messaga of any kind. At least, that is what tho postmaster and tho depot agent said, and these officials keep track of such things in lit tle towns, you had better beltovo. llamsay and I got to be qnito inti mate after a while, and many were tho walks and talks we enjoyed together. But ho wasn't any moro confidential with mo than ho was with others, and of course I asked uo questions. Only onco did ho say something which might bo construed as bearing upon the secret I was convinced that ho had.

" 'Iu due timo the young fellow grad uated from the university with high honors, and soon after became engaged to a bcautif ul girl.

All tlio day they searched for her and just at night my hero, passing through somo woods iu a secluded part of tho grounds, found her lying face downward in a shallow llttlo pool of water there. " ' "Drowned herself during tempo rary aberration of tho mind" was tho verdict, and then it was tho young man learned that insanity had been for gen erations back a hereditary trait in his mother's family. Then, nluo, was ho told tho real truth about his father, and ho found that that father was not dead, but was incarcerated In a private hospi tal in Amcrita violently, hopolcasly mad. " 'Well, you can understand how ho felt, or, rather, you can't comprehend it. Tho girl Uia't ho loved wna truo to him, but how could bo marry her knowing what ho did? Even If tho lunacy slum bered in ltla veins it would surely awaken to curso their children. So ho left her, nnd almost crazed with sorrow himself ho sailed for America whero he still remains. A little whilo ago ho heard that hia betrothed was dead killed by the donblo shock of his disap pearance and his mother's fearful nnd untimely end. " 'Can you wonder,' continued Bam- say in n tone of subdued passion, 'that a species of bitterness often mingles, half unconsciously, with his sorrow for his parents?

This talo mado a strong impression in my mind," tho young doctor resumed. "At first I seriously questioned if Ram say wasn't ldmself tho hero of it, nnd though his apparent gayety led mo to dismiss that thought, still I couldn t help feeling that tho events ho'd nar rated had in somo way produced a last ing effect in his life. "Well, matters woro quite tranquilly on for a year or so, and Mr. Ramsay grew in tho popular favor nil tho while. Ho was a liberal fellow, and his sermons wero frequently rather unorthodox, but his flock worshiped him to such an ex tent that if ho had dosed them with atheism they wouldn't havo grumbled a bit. Tho girls were In lovo with him, every ringle ono of them, but never did they find the way to Ids heart. Ho reso lutely declined to bo drawn into flirta tion, though ho made himself agreeable to all the damsels, taught them German, played tennis and escorted them to pic nics with a gay impartiality very pro voking to tho sensibilities of the poor, anxious young creatures. "One morning as I sat in tho drug store talking Ramsay happened in nnd purchased a package of rat poison. He mentioned casually that tho inico wero bothering him, nnd stood a moment gos siping with careless good humor and then went out. "That night tho deacon with whom ho waa boarding came hurriedly to my office to summon me. Rev, Mr. Ramsay wa taken very suddenly ill. I put on my hat and coat and went to him at onco, nnd somehow before I'd reached his bed sldo it flashed over mo that he liad swal lowed the iison I saw him buy in tho morning. Tho moment I entered tho room I knew that it was eo. "Ho lingered three days, suffering hor ribly, but not a word would ho say as to the motive of his deed. Before he died he showed mo a photograph he woro upon his bosom the picturo of a yonng woman and a child, each very beantif ul and vory liko tho other. And ho asked that it bo buried with him, and so it was. Tho church gavo him a most im posing fnnernl and erected a fino monu ment over his grave, and they havo never ceased, I believo, to mourn their mys terious but dearly beloved minister. For a long whilo thoy sought to find out tho secret of his life, but tho minutest in quiries failed to roveal a single fact. With cliaractcristlc forethought he had destroyed his papers, leaving nothing that would throw light upon his former history. "I often recall him oven now," added tho young doctor, "and I can't help won dering if he was not tho hero of tho strange talo ho told me. And in that case was he insane when ho killed him self, or did ho do it because of grief for hia betrothed? Who thon was tho child whoso portrait ho wore tqiou his breast? "Sometimes I fancy that he lunl com mitted an offense which made him a fugitive from justico and led him at last to take Ids own life in remorse.

Will Shrnor Sued succumbf Such has been tho leading question among physiolo gists In Now York dty for soma time as tho famous faster has been making his test of forty-flvo days without food. IIo did forty days In Ixmdon, and nearly equal terms In other foreign cities, but promised forty-flvo days' olistlnenco in New York, ns Dr. Tanner had already dono forty dnya. Ills method, however, dlHera widely from Tanner's, for ho takes considerable excrct&o.

They insist that It con tains no nourishment, but It soothes the stomach and prevents that gnawing sen sation which is so iuiinful in tho first days of a fust. Slgnor Succl'a theory is much tho same as Tanner's, viz.! If you cannot get food, and think you must havo It and yield to tho longing for It, you will starve lu two weeks or less, but If you resolutely mako up your mind to do without It you can for six or sovcu weeks. To this tho Bignor adds: "An electric force generated by my will keeps mo np. I absorb electricity Just as you absorb oxygen. Whon fasting I con tako any quantity of vegctablo poi son, and It docs me no harm whatever. My brain grows much clearer as I fast and my will power stronger. It is a power liko galvanism, nnd I discovered my pos session of it first by accident. I havo in creased It by practice." Tha appointed physicians attest that there is no doubt whatever of the reality of his fast and that ho Is adding a valuable contribution to science.

S.nsatlonnl Salcldo of a Train llobber In Prison. Another of tho Uubo Burrows gang has gone suddenly to his peace. S. C. Brock, better known as Joe Jackson, jumped from tho highest gallery in tho peniten tiary at Jackson, Miss., and dashed ont his brains upon the brick floor somo fifty feet below. He left a written confession that ho and Hubo Burrows committed the Duck hill train robbery lu December, 18S3, nnd that ho (Brock) shot Chester Hughes, who was In pursuit of them. Ho and Hubo Smith, in conjunction with Burrows, also committed tho Bucatumna rob bery. The confes sion also contains minute details of many othor crimes, tho wholo making a very ex citing chapter In crlmlunl annals. Ho mado this con fession, ho said, in tho hope that ho would bo con demned atonco In the federal courts. and thus get off JOE JACKSON, with life Imprisonment, instead of being tried in tho state court for the murder ot Hughes and hanged, Later, however, ho changed his mind nnd dccldod to dio. The occurrence was a trying ono for tho officials. Brock and Bubo Smith were be ing taken out for trial when Brock sud denly turned and ran up tho stairs to tho highest point he could reach, crying ont to Btand clear below, for he was coming. Two officials seized n mattress and held It so as to catch him thereon it possible, whilo the others sought to reason with hlin. They say this lasted an hour, but It was probably much less. Ho shouted out bis real namo and added, "I would mako a statement It thero was a reporter hero," Ha threw down his new derby hat, saying) "Give that to tho convict who keeps tho white mice in his cell; ho Is a very clover fellow." Tho officer on tho gallery now tried to reach and seize him, but Brock evaded him and mode tho leap. Ho turned over as ho fell, and just missing tho mattress struck on the back of his head. HU skull was crushed to fragments and driven into his brain, yet ho breathed occasionally for half an hour. This leaves Bubo Smith the lust of tho famous trio, and ho will doubtless end his days In prison. A 1'nriuer on llli-ycln?
