THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURO. PA. The Lady and the Golden Cat. Several years ago I was stationed, M bsBisiant surgeon, with my regtmeut ai Orleans. In tbat ancient city, In spite of 1U many mansions of the old nobil ity, unliable apartments for bachelon re few and far between. I alwayi fwant plenty of air spuco about me, an o I Installed myself in a building on (he outskirts of the city. I rented half of the floor, compris ing four rooms. 1 made my sleeping chamber and work-room of the twe which faced en the street; In the thirc I put plants and flowers; the fourth wai left empty. A great balcony ran along the entire front of tho house, on whirl I emild stroll up and down or ruthei on half of It, for It was divided In tht middle by an Iron fence so low that oik could easily step over. I had been living there about twe months, when, one July evening, as 1 approached my rooms, 1 was surprised to fee a brilliant light streaming from the windows of tho uninhabited apart ment. "Ah! I have a neighbor," .thought 1 nnd I was not especially pleased. Going to my room. I stepped noiselessly oul upon the balcony; but the lltfU had al ready been extinguished. 1 returned tc my bedroom, and read for au hour oi two. From time to time I seemed to hear about me In the building a sound as of light footsteps. At lost I went tc bed and to sleep. In the middle of the night I suddenlj awoke with a distinct sensation that some one was walking about near me. I got tip and lit my candle. This Ij what I saw: In the middle of the room stood a great cat, lis back slightly arched, Its tall erect, and Its phosphorescent eyet fixed upon me. It was a superb Angora, with long, yellow hair of the color ol raw silk. As the light shone upon it its fur gleamed like spun gold. I ap proached me with velvet steps, and softly rubled its flexible body against my legs. I stopped to caress It, which It permitted, purring gently, and then ns I got back Into bed, It leaped up on the cottnterpnne. It was a very youns cat, and she seemed well disposed to lei herself ibe caressed. I put her back oti the floor, and tried to send out out ol the room; but she evaded me, and took refuge under the furniture. As soon ns I had blown out the llfrht, she leaped up on my bed again, but 1 paid no further attention to her, and soon went to sleep. It was broad day when I woke again, and the cat was nowhere to be seen. The .human mind Is a delicate Instru ment, easily thrown out of gear. Recall the facts that I have Just told you: n light seen, then extinguished, in an un inhabited apartment; an Angora cat ol singular color which appeared and dis appeared In a mysterious manner there Is nothing very startling In that, Is there? Very well. Imagine, now, thai this same program was repeated every night and under identically the same conditions for n week. Believe me, there Is enough in that to effect the thoughts of a man who lives alone, nnd to give him those little shivers that herald the present of the unknowable. Tho human mind Is ?o constituted that it uncon sciously (holds to the principle of a suf ficient reason. For all series of Ident ical phenomena. It demands a cause, a law. And it becomes uneasy if it doe not discover that cause. I am not a coward. But I know that fear feeds and grows upon uncertainty, whilo attempts to discover its cause re duce It to simple curiosity. I resolved, then, to Investigate this matter, 1 quea. Honed my orderly. He did no: know my neighbors. Kvery morning an old wo man came to take c:.re of the other apartment. Ho had tried to draw hei Into conversation; but, whether she was completely dear or not, the would vouchsafe no reply to him. Nevertheless, I easily accounted for Ibc first strange fact the extinction ol the l'ght when I returned homo. I had noticed that the windows next to mine were marked simply by a great lace curtain; moreover, tho two balconjes communicated. My neighbor, man oi woman, therefore di ended Indiscreet gWnres, nnd extinguished the light on hearing me return. To verify my sup position, I had my orderly bring me from the mess a cold supper, early one " too;i, a: id I did nut leave my rooms that evening. When night had fallen, I took my stand near my win dow. Soon I saw the balcony lighted up from the window of the neighbor ing apartment. I gently opened the gash, and stepped out upon the balcony, At that moment, knowing that I ex posed myself to a postUve danger, either of breaking my neck or of en gaging In a hand-to-hand struggle with some flesh-and-blcod person, my nerves were perfectly calm. I reached the lighted window without having made the least Bound, The window was half open. Tho curtains, transpar ent for mo who was on the dark Bide, ruado mo Invisible to any one in the Interior of the apartment. I saw a largo room lilled with quaint, old-fashioned furnituro, lighted by a hanging-lamp. At the back of the room was a low divan, on which lay a young and beautiful woman, fc'he was clad in a loose wrap of snnio filmy material, ind her uncontlned luilr fell about her shoulders like a golden garment. She gazed at herself in a hand-glass, bared her arms, and pressed her lips to the smooth, white flesh, and her supple body writhed .with the graceful, langu orous movcuenu of a great feline. Wi every n'ove she made, she seemed to scintillate with the glint of gold. I was staring at her, spell-bound, when of a sudden the ryes of this Btrunge and beautiful woman fixed themselves upon me peculiar eyes of a phosphorescent green that seemed to burn with a lambent flame. I was sure that I was Invisible to her, boing on the dark side of the drapod window; novel Uieleaa, I felt that site saw me. A cry escaped her, and sho drew the garment about her aud buried her face in the pillows. I puHhed open the window, and step ped quickly across the room. Bending over her hidden face, I poured out a torrent of excuses and accusations against myself. I called myself a boor and a coward. I implored her to strike me, to drive me away, but with i word of pardon. Kor a long time I continued to plead thus without a sign from her. At laat she turned, and saw a young face, extraordinary am charming, which smiled at me. "It la you, it Is yu," she murmur' ed. What she meant by that, I couW no comprehend, but I, too, felt that I hat ceen her before there was sometliini in her face, her glance, her gracefu movements, that awoke vague memor ies. I stood gazing at her speechless, foi a moment, and then a nind desire cami over me to take her In my arms. Bui rlie read tho thought In my eyes, nnt evading me with surprising agility, h ran to the lamp nnd extinguished It There was a mocking laugh, then si fence. Hastily striking a match, I re lit the lamp and looked about me. Th woman was nowhero to be seen. I hat heard no door open or close, and yol she was not In the room. Beside mysel! there was no living thing there, except ihe golden cat, which came to me and rubbed herself against my legs. I hnd rot noticed her before, but evidently kIio had been asleep In some corner ani r.iy entrance had aroused her. I could not very well search the rpnr'iwtit, so I watted n few moment! a::d then returned by tho balcony tc i)y room. The light In the neighbor ing npartment streamed out from the window, but there was no sound to In dicate a living presence. As I pondered on the affair, I began to feel a vnguo fear of this woman, with her strange beauty and her enig matic smile, who said to me "It it you!" as If sho knew mo. I could not drive away the memory of tihoee green eyea that had flashed at me from the darkness as she extinguished the lamp nor of tho electric shork that had thrilled me once when I touched hei hair with my thand. Scnrcely was I In bed again when 1 felt a weight fall upon my legs. It wai the golden cat. I pushed her away, but fhe returned. Finally I gave tip the s.tnipglo nnd fell Into a troubled sleep, with this strange companion, as on the other night, still on my bed. The next night I again entered my strango neighbor's apartment. She eecmed not surprised to seo me now nnd wo chatted together for half an hour, at the tml of which time she dis missed mo with a smile, but In b way not to Im denied, and J returned to my own room. She had told nie that hei name was Linda, but beyond that she would give no Information about her self. And so It ran on for a week. WTifil had taken place on the second night waa repented af.aln nnd again. Scarce had I left Linda, and returned to my own room, wihen the golden cat appear ed, leaped on my bed. Installed hersell there, and remained until morning. 1 knew now to whom the animal belong ed. Once, when I spoke of It, Linda said: "Oh, yes, my cat. Is it not 'the one -that seems to be of gold'?" Noth ing new took place, but nevertheless Utile by little, nn intangible- terroi took possession of me. There were moments when these twt bcln;;s, with their great green eyes their supple movements, nnd theii glory of golden hair, became confused In my mind, and seemed to nie to be only tho dual form of a single soul. In sj;ite of my importunities of Linda and my efforts to surprise her, I had nevei Le a able to reason with myself, to con vince myself that, as a matter of fact there was nothing absolutely inex plicable in what had befallen me. 1 rallied myself on being afraid of a wo man and a pot cat. And thon. a the result of all my reasoning, I found thai in reality I was afraid of neither ol tho animal nor of the woman, but of a symbolical duality which existed onlj In my own mind. , I actually suffered from this obses sion. After the nights In their pres ence, I had days of secret torture such ns mad-men undergo. Little by little a resolution was born, grew, aud rip rned In my mind; the woman held me by her beauty; but I resolved that 1 should kill the animal. Ono evening, before going to Linda's room, I laid out from my supply ol drugs a pot of glycerine, a flask of hy drocyanic acid, and one of those little g!ns3 sticks that chemists call mixing rods. When I regained my room, the cat at usual followed mo there. I called her and she ran to me, her back arched, her tall erect, purring. I took the glass rod. dipped the point in tho glycerine, 2nd held It toward the animal; she lick ed it dry with her rosy tongue. I re pented this operation three times. The fourth time I dipped tho rod In the arid. Tho cat licked it unsuspiciously, nd immediately bhe became rigid. Then she bounded Into the air, and Mllcd over and over In terrible agony, 'finally tshe fell back upon tho floor with a fearful cry a human cry, one would almost have said. She was dead Vlth great bls of porapiratlon on my temples and my hands trembling violently. I leaned over the warm body. Per stnrtlns eyes h"d a look In them that froze nie. Her black nnd swollen tongue stuck out betwern her sharp, white teoth. Her limbs were extraordi narily contorted. With an extreme ef fort of will, I look tihe nnimal up by tier pr.we nr.d left th? house. I hurried ii Might befoie mo down the deserted street to the quays, and there I threw my burden into the river. I'ntil dny broke I wandered about the city, I know not where. At last the sky grew pale with the coming lawn, and I decided to return to my house. Aa my hand tonnhed the knob I shivered. I was nfraid of finding still Hive, as In Toe's celebrated story, the mimal I had Just killed. But no; my Min waa empty. I flung myself cx kaustcd on tho bed. For the first time in days I slept sure of being alone. Nest day they told me Linda had dis appeared. In her room were found her rlmhcs everything she had, even to :!.e filmy wrap she had always won. w'ien I had seen her but nothing that or. Id reveal her Identity. The propri nr had rented the apartment to "Mile ;-!nda. lyric artist." He knew nohlng "'. about her. Who she waa and whither she went remain a mystery whl.-h tho story I have told offers be only hint of a solution. Adapted from the French of Marcel Prevosu Cniivliirlng.

How Member of ths Society of Friend Blurry Karh other. A young man nnd woman In this city, belonging to the Society of Kriendi who have certified their intention ot marriage at tho City Hall, are under going the regular form 'which the so ciety Imposes fcy waiting for the ap proval of the monthly meeting befon they can be married. The Hrst stag In the proceeding Is for them both U appear at the monthly meeting ot Uii society, which Is the only time that nnj business Is done, and make known Ihol intention. They both stand up before the meeting and the man says: "Wim Divine permission and Friends appro Imtlon I declare my Intention to take this woman (and he calls her name) tc he my wife," and then they sit down. But the sanction of the society for the marriage requires more than this for niallty. It f never granted tiniest both parties are Friends, and so It one of the young peoplo Is out of the fold they have to be married without the formal approval of the society. When the approval is secured the :cuple marry themselves. The cerenionj la appointed by the society to take place at some regular meeting, or else at one specially appointed. In the lat ter case It may be at a house where any one of the society has the right to be present. But the most Interesting cer emony Is that which takes place In a regular assembly of tho society at the meeting house. Any one who has been to a Quaker service knows the fashion of the meeting house, with its high seats in front, facing the rest of the meeting. The elders usually sltthcre but when a couple of young people are going to get married thoy have to oc cupy this conspicuous place, and have to stand up bravely, without minister or elder, and marry themselves. An old Quaker minister who said he had seen six couples stand up in this way before the congregation was asked why the young people had to do It alone, and he said it was a matter that did not concern an Intermediate per son, but rested between themselves and Cod. Then he described how the young man would stand up in that high-perched place In the meeting house along with his bride, and, taking her hand say: "In the presence of God and tblf assembly, I take thee, A. B., to be my wife, promising to be unto thee an af fectionate and loving husband until the hand of the Lord by death Bhali separate us." The bride then speaks in a similar fashion. At the end of this ceremony a minis ter prays or speaks, and then, when there Is a pause and the spirit moves no one else, the meeting Is ndjourued. At the ckwe of the meeting the mar riage certificate, which Is made ol parchment, is brought forward, and any one can sign It. A special law sanc tions this marriage ceremony. This doertlncnt, which amounts to the legai sanction of the marriage, la greatly prized - among the descendants ol Friends, so much eo that the childrer often have similar marriage certlflcatei made for themselves, though they may have been married outside the Bociety Worcester Gazette. Whnt Would Happen. Under the condition set forth In the question, we must lmagino that the moon would always be exactly over oni spot of tho earth's surface. At night therefore, that part of the earth woulc always be Illuminated, unless the po sition which 13 most pro-liable woulc! result In an eclipse; but the other por tions of the earth would be hi tota darkness at night. The effect on nav igation would be revolutionary. The phenomenon of the tides would prac tically cease. Consequently, many tlda rivers would run low constantly and flourishing ports go to ruin. Not onlj so. but the distribution of the watei 3i) the earth's surface would be seri ously altered. If the moon stood stil: tho waters on that side of tho earth where the moon was stationed would rise In one huge mass, while tie op posite side of the earth would have a smaller bulk. The waters, however, al the sides of the earth would practical ly disappear. This would undoubtedlj mean that many portions of the eartl now dry would be flooded, and vice ver sa. Not only so, but the shape of the planet would to an oubslde observer Change. The solid portions would re main rigid, tout the general contoui would appear to be egg-shaped, the ?reater end being turned toward the aioon, and the point away from It. Why Thmuli-r ItsjUs.

Scnor GonzMes Qiipr.oa, the head of the Cuban junta in Washington, was informal Friday morning that a slory had been published to the effect that Secretary Olney and Minister Deiomc had drawn up articles to end the Cuban war. on the lines proposed by General Gomez. Senor Quesada emphatically denied that any such action had been taken or could be ap proved by the Cubans. He said the story was absolutely false, as General Gomez had never proposed any reform whatever, nor was there a Cuban in the island that would accept anything but absolute independence. Both at the state department and the Spanish legation emphatic denials are made that any provisional draft of terms of surrender has been received by Secretary Olney, and discussed by him and Dupuy Deiomc, the Spanish minister. Senor Pablo Solar, men tioned as the messenger who arrived here from Madrid, bringing the im portant document, is the second sec retary of the Spanish legation, and ar rived here and took charge of his duties more than three weeks ago. Senor Delome has not had an in terview with Secretary Olney except at the formal receptions for more than a week. There has been absolutely no change in the situation since the president's annual message to congress. Skyscrapers of the future. Fifteen years aco the idea of con structing 25 and 30 story buildings buildinirs would have been deemed too wildly improbable to deserve con sideration. Thev are now realized. Some of the tall buildings that have been erected since that time are, from an architectural standpoint, unattrac tive, but many of the more recent ones are beautiful and desirable. What the next 15 years may develop can scarcely be conjectured. Artistic anil philanthropic minds, assisted by in telligent legislation, may accomplish what may now seem miraculous. Instead of buildings wretchedly lighted and ventilated composing the solid wall-like street fronts with scarcely any variation of skv line, color or de sign, there may be structures perfect in their adaptation to the special pur poses each is to subserve, separated from each other by smooth walks, well lawns, blooming flower gardens and clean streets, representing in their designs all that is best in every style of architecture from the remotest ages to the present time, enriched and di versified by color and varying in mag nitude from the romantic single story Swiss cottage with thatched roof to the towering office buildings piercing the sky with a thousand "turrets and spires and -gilded domes."

He had brought suit for divorce on behalf of a woman, who asked for possession of two children. The husband made a vigorous protest, and employed a young lawyer of ability to defend the suit. 1 he defence had the.best case so far as the evidence went, but Mr. Storrs made one of his chaiacteristic ally strong speeches, with an eloquent plea on behalf of the mother and her two children. The effect on the jury was apparent.

Chicago Times Herald. How the Devil Made the Bills, The existence of hills and mount ains is accounted for in legendary lore in this wise : When the Lord was about to fashion the face of the earth, he ordered the devil to dive into the watery depths and bring up his hands full of the earth he might find at the bottom. The devil obeyed, but when he filled his hands he filled his mouth also. Thi: Lord took the soil and sprinkled it around, and the earth ap peared, but was perfectly flat. The devil, who still had his mouth full of earth, looked on for some time in silence. At last he tried to speak, but choked and iled in terror. After him followed the two demons, thunder and lightning, and so he rushed about over the face of the earth, spitting earth as he went, each portion of the earth forming itseli into a hill. Wher ever he took a violent fit of coughing and spitting sky cleaving mountains leaped into view. St. Louis Republic.
