A MYSTERY.
"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.

ho went, and yot so long as wo knew
him ho didn't receive ono letter or tele

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. It was in
this way:
"llamsay had dropped into my office,
and we fell to conversing about heredi
tary disease. It grew out of some cased

what. Ramsay iu his brilliant, earnest
fashion began to inveigh against people
who married and brought into tho world
children cursed with the seeds of some
dreadful malady.

Onco thero was a boy novcr mind his

ceeding great promise in Ids youth. Ills

schools and spared neither pains nor ex
penso to improve tho talents nature hail
bestowed upou him. lie was hopeful
and happy, and ono thiug only troubled
him ho uied often to wonder abont his
father, whom ho couldn't romember, aud

and vaguely,
" 'They were living in England at tho
time, having como there from America
after the father's death, and tieing in
easy circumstances financially the future
looked very bright and glowing indeed.
" 'Iu due timo the young fellow grad
uated from the university with high
honors, and soon after became engaged
to a bcautif ul girl. IIo hod long been
destined to enter tho ministry a work
for which his taste and abilities best
fitted him and immediately upon his
marriage bo was to settle down in charge
of parish at some distance from Ids
home. Thero was but ono drawback to

But ono morning thero was nn

disappeared in n vcrynn.iccouut.iblo nnd
mysterious manner. 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? And i3 it strango that ho feels
almost as if thoy had committed a crimo
in bringing 1dm into existenco, knowing
as they did that ho must perforce lw
dowered with tho fatal, inovitablo fam
ily curse?
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

Canadu ot Mrs. Sterling, mother of Charles
M. SUrllng, who waa executed at Youngs
town, O., somo timo ago for the murder of
Lizzie Gromhacher, has unveiled tho facts
concerning an Incident that occurred short
ly before tho hanging.
Mrs. Sterling visited Youngstown to nee
the condemned rrlviiual. Though ho had
left home when lut a lml, with a mutcriml

brought to his cell, Sterling, without tho
quiver of a muscle, wild:
"You aro mistaken, madam; I am not
your son."
She Implored him to recognlzo her, but
he refused, and tho returned homo half
convinced that she was mistaken.
To his counsel Sterling said:
"She is my mother, but I could not
break her heart by telling her that her sou
would be hanged. Keep It becict uutll she

Her death caused his attorney, W. S, An

FAMOUS FOR FASTING.
A Man Yvlio Room, to Tta Able to Exist
Without Food.
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. Ou tue
fifteenth day of his
fast in Purls h
went up tho KlCtol

without food he
cllmbixi to the top
of the Coiomie de

and a holt miu
utcs. He also fen
ces nnd walks,
ulars at slndo-
BioHon guccL stick, smokes, etc.
On the other hand, ho takes occasional
doACS of an elixir of his own invention,
which, tho attending physicians say, con
sists of opium, licorice and a slight Infu
sion of hasheesh. 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. Uo is by birth a

HIS SKULL WAS CRUSHED.
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

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.
