A CIIfLD OF
CHAPTER TI.
In the liUliartl-roora of the Vag-Alond
Clab, Govent Gar.len, sat a diizen or so of
i.llers. amoking1 and g-oasipingf. one brig-ht
May afternoon. They had wondered over
the latest marriage in high life, laughed
at the newest bon m4, discussed the day's
news from Zulu-land, whispered the
choicest social scandal, and prophesied
respecting the weather.
Suddenly the door opened, and a man
entered, dressed in a brown velvet coat.
All present looked up as he sauntered in.
"Well, old man, you are quite the
stranger here. What's the little gams
nnwl Some fair one in the question, I
bet, eince you kep it so dark. What a
chap you are! Now, confess where you
hare leen hiding yourself."
"Hiding myself? Well, I don't know
what you mean by that? Haven't I been
visible on the boards every night since
May set in? replied the new comer.
"That'a true enough; I spent half-a-.
guinea on you last night, I thought I'd
like to hear 'the great Gabriel" for myself.
You don't do it badly. You were in very
good singing form in 'Faust,' old fellow,"
said Wenthworth Arkwright.
"Ye-e-s, my voice is pretty fit just now,"
was Gabriel's quiet answer, as he compla
cently smoothed his throat with one of his
hands that was ablaze with large rings
set with rare stones.
Well, what's the news, Signor Singer,
ehP asked Riliald Drake, the sculptor.
"Newst Well, first of all the Leopardi
has caught the German measles."
"No!" was the general exclamation.
"Never! WhAt, tL prima donna succumb
to such a prosaic complaint f I say, that's
a bad look out fr the company. Tell
you ,vLat, tliere il have to be a 'round
robin' got up and sent to Flenr de Marie,
or, t logging her puvdon. Lady Newen, as
fOie is now, imploring her to take pity on
the public and give us her Mirgurit,
Viol !fn. an l '''. nnd all her inimitable
ifif rteiie just to ive flu- f.:;r Loiita time
to get rid of the spots an 1 if.f '. f ion, and
get oat of quarantine. Oh, 'joii my soul,
it's a g.vl joke to think of X'rmt sick
with measles!"
rVin't see the jol:." l-ein.'i: k 1 Ark
wriglit, "lint what's l.at you sai.l of the
Flenr d' Marie? iSUc'f- . l.t of Kiiglnnd. I
thought."
My child, you sli.s-k me with your
lamentable ignorance. Kvidcntly you
don't read the newspapers, or you would
have seen the announcement that Sir
Cuthbert ami Lady Newen had arrived u'
their house in Uedford square tor the
et ason. I bet it's no news to someone,
eh. Gabriel ?"
'Well, I certainly had heard of their
return to l'ngland,'' replied Gabriel, dep
reeatingly. which was a btrange state
ment, considering that a few hours lie
fore he had told a casual acquaintance
that the Newens were fixtures in Hyder
abad for another five years at least.
I say, Gabriel," said a young man.
crossing the room to where the sing-r
was standing. "I want you to do me a
favor. Vou know the Newens, don't you f
I mean intiinateiy. well enough to intro
duce a fellow, eh t '
Well, j es. I Fuppo.-.e I do. You see
liflle Mysie and I are old friends, as she
said in i.er last letter."
"Which, perhaps, you might find it dif
ficult to produce." Kr.cerrd a voice
bin 1 1 iin
Gabriel turned hastily, and saw Andrew
Brevet at his elbow, hi; f'.f-e white with
assion and his hands twitching nervous
ly. Gabriel looked at hii.i indolently with
cool e!froiitery.
"Oh. you may stave, Si-i r Gabriel, but
remember, I know you, what you are and
what you were; and I also know, equally
well the lady of whom you sj nk so
lightly. Gentlemen, 1 feel confident that
there is not one word of truth in the
statements he has made. I am certain
that he couL 1 not show you one line of a
letter of the familiar nature he would
wish you to imagine, written by Lady
Newen to him tince her marriage. I
know that at the time she left Knglan.l
she cast him aside completely, as un
worthy of her frii-ndt.iiip, having en
tirely forfeited her esteem. Is it likely,
men, that happily married as fdie is to
such a man as Sir Ciithliert Newen, she
would carry on a regular and confidential
correspondence with one who had de
ceived and iu.-uhed her in every way
possible to a. cad and a coward."
Andrew Preyet jiuse-i nt Inst, breath
less with anger and indignation.
' Gabriel' lips quivered with ill-concealed
juistikin as he turned to the pro
fessor. if y. in wit.' tiot an old
'V.ili v..".!! '.Hi'!'1 lie liowe. SO'" lo.
If f ;.t : 1 y 'i m y- fatisfse'iun. I
have !;;. J niv ."ay. and unmasked a lying
Kim' trr, ei d "
"Mr. I'r-'Vet." broke in Gabriel, hosrse
and p.i'e ith f ivy. and coining closer to
loin.
''es. I mean a lyintr '-ier. sn 1 T
pea it. Yon mny strike me. if you choose.
To knock down a defenceless, white
headed man would be consistent with the
re: t of votir cowniilly conduct. If you
have leen in correspoiiiienc with Lady
NVn-tn, as yoi 1 .st. all I say is prove
it. I do n' t lelievc yoti have received
oik; letter from Lndy Newen since her
rtarrif ge, and I think that unless yon can
prove your words, no one in this room
will place any f;.i?h in them; eh, gen
tlemen V
"That's fair enough," said one.
"Come, come; prove it. Gabriel ; that's)
er.i!y ire, chimed in another.
rVodnee the letter from dear little
Mysie," ft eered a third, and so on; and a
chorus of banter and ch -iff followed which
er easei-ate.l (Jabriel that be felt like
Nero, who wished that all the Romans
bad one neck that he might wring it.
"I refuse to produce the proof in the
form cf the said letters, which are not of
a nature to be passed from hand to hand,
and criticised by strangers. I feel it
would le a most glaring breach of cof.tj
dence on my part towards the writer. I
have received those, letters, that is
enough."
"Oh. oh. oh'." was h.r.rd in all the
Jones and inflections throughout the room.
And'-ew Brevet took up his hat and
v.aiked out in di.-gust, slamming the d.Hir
after hi i ii.
-And if you desire it, I wi'l prove to
you how great i my influence, nnd of
what nature the friendship is which I
share with Lady Newen. in away far
more nndetiis.ble than even by the letters,
continued Gabriel haughtily.
K' w ? ' "M'T" f' 'f ' 'I e:,f y
to talk." "Where are tha proofs r Such
ramarks rn through the room.
"On the evening of the 15th inst that
is, nait Saturday week, I believe that
you, Ribald Drake, purpose giving a
patif tovpf for the entertainment of the
ladies belonging to Branetti'a company.
Wall, according to tha cards of invitation,
one of which I received, I am at lilerty
to bring a friend with me. What will you
ay if I escort Lady Newen herself!"
You can't do it. You'll never comjjisa
it. I'll lay you a hundred even yon don't
bring her," exclaimed Archie Freeland,
excitedly thumping the table with his fist.
"Done," said Gabriel, making a note of
the let in his pocket-book. "You are wit
nesses, gentlemen. Till we meet again at
Drake's supjjer table, nn rrroir. ittrxaifar,"
and with these words the singer strode to
tha door, and left his friends to discuss
bis affairs, and calculate his chances of
auccesa.
Lady Newen sat in her lioudoir in Bedford-square
alone. It was a charming lit
tle room, essentially feminine, a delicious
nest of old lace, blue china, and velvet,
with Venetian looking glasses, and Dres
den figures, and pretty porcelain brackets
fixed up against the canary-tinted walls.
Lady Newen sank down on the softest of
yielding divans, and took up a letter
which lay open on the table near at hand.
It was from her husband in Paris, where
he had been delayed, as he wrote, on di
plomatic business much beyond the time
ha had first expected. It was a loving
note, bidding his wife take care of her
dear eelf for his sake, and to keep the
warmest of welcomes for her truant on
his return. "I shall probably not lie home
for another week, but shall lie able to say
for certain to morrow. I think, however,
perhaps I hail better advise you to ex
pect me when y ou - me, so you will not
be disnppi ii.ted."
Lady Newen missed her husband's
pleasant aociety. She had grown to feel
a vi ry dec' : . love for ' itn during the
two years -n Calcutta following her mar
ri. ee. an, she did not li.;e iiis lieingaway.
Perhao-i sue had t'nli.-n into a semi-slum-lier
over her visions of ihe pa-!, and her
castle-building, at a'.iy rate, she started to
her feet as a loud double-knock bounded
through the quiet house.
She mechanically smoothed iier ruffled
yellow hair (which is a sort of instinct
with women, from the dairymaid to the
duchess), and a bright light shone in her
Eoft blue eyes.
"Perhaps it id Cuthbert it must Tie!
No one else could come at this hour. Oh,
I am glad he has returned. Yes, here he
is? and Mysie ran to the door and open
ed it.
On the threshold stood the butler, and
behind him, in the shadow, Gabriel Cole.
Lady Newen drew back for a moment
into the room, while the paie color deep
ened to crimson in her cheeks. Then ad
dressing the butler, she said:
"Morris, this is not a usual hour to ad
mit callers." Then turning to Gabriel:
"Mr. Cole. I am sorry I cannot see you
tkis evening, I trust your business is not
of snch a pressing nature but that it can
nait till to morrow. 1 never am at home
to afcy one, except my husband, after six,"
and she moved away.
The servant went down stairs.
"Pardon me for my intrusion. Lady
Newen," was Gabriel's formal reply; "but
the business which brines me here
to-night is of a most urgent nature, as
you will allow when I acquaint you with
it. I must speak with you. It is a mat
ter of life and death," and lie opened his
big black eyes, and looked very ominous
and tragic.
Come in, then," she replied, a little im
patiently. "I am listening. Be seated."
And she preceded him into the lioudoir,
and stood on the rug by the fire, awaiting
his news, while she carelessly warmed
her hands and turned her rings round on
her white fingers.
"I come, as I say, lionnd on an errand
most urgent. I come from a dying wo
man, to bog you to follow me to her bed
side, and since her hours are nnndcred,
she wishes to make her peace with God
and man. She feels she needs your for
giveness before her soul can find rest.
She has sent me to you, liegging you to
go to her while yet there is time."
"What do you mean! Who is this dying
woman who wishes to see me!" asked
Mysie. turning a startled face from con
templating the fire.
"Lorita Leopard i. Can you refuse the
last tition of one who even now may lie
passing lieyond the reach of your for
giveness! Kven now she may "
'Slav; I will not refuse. I will follow
you instantly. Wait for trie."
And lilting the ;inV, tdie glided into
an adjoining room.
When M.e returned, her fuce and form
were hidden by a long, black, fur lined
clo:ls. Willi hood drawn down over the
head.
Mysie's cheeks were vf ry jwile, and her
eyes shone with excitement.
"I am resdy to follow yen. Do not let
us delay longer, or we may lie too late."
Pol- a moment Gabriel hesitated the
) ' he was at tout to play semed so ut
terly contemptible. But the horrible al
ternative of losing the wager, and Incom
ing the laughing-stock of London. t;oon
settled the point. He held open the door,
atjd My M'1 swept down the stn::-case.
Ga'.i. i 1 t pened the front dm r, and the
two walked quickly across: the square,
and down a side street, lil! they came to
the cal.-:-tand.
It was a silent drive. Mysie's heart
ls-at fast with great aoxi. ty lest she might
ever, now arrive ton late. Gabriel, for
once, was feeling really nervous as to the
isstie of this adventure.
Suddenly the l.ar.sotn ennie to a stand
still. G.-.l ii. ; threw imi k the doors with
much tioi-c. nnd. perha) j. a little bi-ava-do,
held out his hand to Mysie, dismissed
thecal., and then ofired his arm to his
corntmi :i( u.
There were- bright ligh's in nti upper
window and the gayest sound- of revelrv.
She followed Gabriel up a shoi-t w ind-iie.-
!lrc. iso. dimly lighted. As tl.ey b.-t,-
' le stt ;s the noise grew louder.
Lewi ..lighter, clinking of glasses, bass
veiv.es hi i i:g in with n scrap of a song's
refrain, and a lmhl of women's chatter
and men's a pi.': ne.
Tiiey cio sed a short passage, dark r.s
night. .11, d with a heart t itat. figuratively,
sank into his l.ts. Gabriel threw open a
'door and almost dragged Mysis into the
rot it n. But she retreated at once on to
the threshold, where she stood, with her
hood falleu back on to her shoulders and
her cheeks aflame? She turned and fid
her eyea searchingly on Gabriel, who
could not meet her gaze. Suddenly the
seemed to g i at p the t-it nation.
A lan-f i.u i f:.f . r.a the f u, i i r -
ty. The glasses no longer passed from
hand to hand; the laugh and the song
were hushed. All eyes were turned on
the figure in the doorway, in the fur
lined cashmere cloak and the shining, pale
gold hair.
"There ia either a atrange mistake or a
wilful deception here. I ask you, Signor
Gabriel, to explain it to me, for I am un
willing to believe you could act snch a
cawardlj, contemptible part as to bring
me here under false pretenses."
Gabriel shifted his position uneasily
fiwm one leg to another, and did rot re
ply. He felt what a very foolish figure
he made like a clown by the side of a
seraph. Finally, plucking up his innate
impudence, he threw back his head, ami
offering his arm to Lady Newen, said
gaily :
"Come, Mysie ; why take matters so
seriously! Own that I acted the little

I'll lie candid and tell yoa. I was rather
short of coin, and in order to raise the

him a man came to my house, pleading
his excuse for the lateness of the hour on
account of the urgency of his errand. He

I am. I have no more to say, but good
night. Signor Gabriel, you ara a liar and
a cowanl! Gol-night.
"Stay, Lady Newen, allow me to be
your escort home. The hour is late, you
must not go alone."
Mysie turned and saw George Curzon.
"Pardon my presence here, and, lielicve
me, I knew nothing of thia wager that
Cole had made. Had I done so, I should
have warned you long ago of hia inten
tions, and thus set you on your guard
against him."
She looked at his earnest face and could
not doubt his truth. She held out her
hand.
"I do believe you, Captain Curzon, and
I will accept your escort home;" and
without another word she took hia arm,
arc! the to .or closed behind them.
There was silence during the drive
home.
"If you plea e, my lady," said the but
ler, as the three stood in the hall in Bed
ford square. "Sir Ciithliert arrived, sud
denly after you left, and enquirr-d for you.
I told hiiu you had gone out with Signor
Gabriel, and I did not know when you

for you, my lady."
"Is he not at home, then! When will

"Give me the note. Thank yon. You

do less. Lady Newen. G.xid-night."
Mysie went up to her own room and
shut the door; then she ojienetl the fol.led

The letter fell into Mysie's lap.
"That man seems to pursue me like
fate, ami always 'comes between me and
haj ipiness."
George Curzon returned to the su por
table in Jermyn-E-treet. The "moths" had
forgotten the tir 'some little fon(rettt)ijm,
complimented Gabriel on his assurance,
and laughed anil sang as shrilly as liefore
Lady Newen had appeared. When the
tumult was at its loudest, and the kissiug
cup was lieing jwissed with much merri
ment from lip to lip. the door suddenly
opened and George Curzon entered. He
was greeted with many sallies and much
gay lianter.
'Ah," sneered Gabriel, rising to his
feet, here comes the ptfUT chrrahtr de
rlimat, the champion of deceived matrons.
It must be a very long way to Bedford
square, judging by the hour. However,
we must not grudge him a midnight tete-a-ttte
with the loveliest lady in London."
There was a chorus of laughter, in
which Gabriel joined, but his laugh soon
changed into a groan as he staggered
lckwards, hlimled by a blow fi-.nn Cur
zon's fist, administered betweeir the eyes.
Gabriel rushed at his opponcrf. and re
ceived a jte-coi d hlo-.v in his mor.Mi. which
brought the IiI.hmI and cut his liti open.
Then Curzon left the room, and walked
downstairs.
Gabriel, mnddened by drink fold pas
sion, followed him.
"Don't think you'll have it nil on your
side, you cursed coward," he hissed aa
they stood in the doorway.
"What. haven't you had enough ? There,
then, take that," and Curzon dealt him a
sinashn.g blow just under the jaw close
by the light ear.
Gabriel fell backwards heavily.
Freclafd and Drake now came, upon
the scene.
"I eny. old man, that was a narty one,"
aid Freeland. "I lielicve. you've done

They carried him up into the supper

Sir Cuthlwrt Newen w es sittimj over
his breakfast in a very sullen mood at the
Hotel de Louvre, Paris, when his letters
wero brought to him.
IK; glanced at the address on each. One

He read it with brightening f.iee, from
which a dark cloud had I wen cleared

said to his valet. "We leave Pal is by the

"Oh, dear, I am very, very sorry! Poor,

am grieved, all the more so liecause I
feel, and always have felt that in his lova

was a vagabond at heart. Oh, hie tieau

So Mysie Newen mourned for her old
comrade's fall from fume's high pedestal,
and in the sorrow for his great punish

insult he had offered her.
And Lorita! She recovered from her
short illness, and returned to the stage,
to fall in love with the next new tenor,
Eglierto.
(iabriel Cole was soon forgotten. When
hia money was gone, and his voice waa
lost, he found that his boon companions
gave him the cold ahoulder.
Gabriel, with all hia faults, had been
lavish enough with his gold while it last
ed. There were those, both men and
women, to whom he had lent large sums
of money at different times, when they
had come to him pleading themselves "so
awfully short, don't you know."
Then came the day when he, too, in his
turn was very "bard up," and he went
without hesitation to these friends and
asked them to help him, and they shrug
ged their aristocratic shoulders, and
showed him the linings of their pockets.
"What a fvil I have been," he cried. "I
might have been rich and famous, and
the husband of the loveliest woman in
London, and now I most lie, what I was
before,

The Too Smart Jiids-e.
A go! story, told at the exjiense of a
well-known ex judge, is going the rounds
of the lawyers' offices, and it is heartily
appreciated by those who tiest know the
irascible but good-hearted disposition of
the old gentleman. It was an adniiralty
case, where he is most at home. The
deposition of a sailor, who was soon to
die had to Is; taken at his bedside iu
Bro klyn. "How long." the ex -judge
srmj ped out as the first question on cross
examination, "do you think it was after
tne vessel left the wharf litfore the col
lision occurred !"'
Th sailor was himself something of a
character, and not so near death but that
he appreciated the vital imjortance of
"getting back on" a cross examining law
yer. "Waal," he drawled out, "'bout ten
minutes, I s'd judge."
"Ten minutes! Ten minutes!" exclaim
ed the lawyer, jumping up. "Man, how
long do you think ten minutes to be?"
"Jest 'liout ten minutes," waa the un
ruffled reply.
"How do you generally measure ten
minutes!" jiereisted the lawyer.
The old sailor turned slowly in his led
and eyed his questioner. Then he turned
back again and said indifferently: "Waal,
sometimes wid a watch and sometimes
wid a claak."
This made the lawyer a little mad. He
jerked his watch from his jiocket and
said in a querulous, high-pitched voice:
"Oh, you do. do you! Well. I'll tell you
when to begin -I you tell me when ten
minutes are i
The sailor s. . 'y winked at the lawyer
on the other side, and he took in the sit
uation in an instant and made no objec
tion. The ex-judge stood with his lack
to a mantel on w hich a little clock waa
quietly indicating the time to the tailor,
who lay facing it.
"Aye, aye," the sailor said, and remain
ed silent.
After three minutes had passed the ex
judge became impatient and exclaimed:
"See here, are you going to keep us her
all day !" But the SAilor made no answ er.
As five and six and seven minutes went
l.y the lawyer liecaine almost wild in his
assumed anger at the man for keeping
them so long lieyond the time. But not
until the hand of the clock was on the
exact notch of ten minutes did the sailor
sjieak. Then he snid carelessly : "Guess
the time mus Ik; 'Unit up."
The judge put up his watch and sank
liack in his chair. "Well," he said, "of all
men. dying or alive, that I ever saw, you
can measure time the licst."
It in said that the ex-judge does not
even yet know what made the other law
yers double themselves over with laugh
ter as they did at that last remark of his.

1 -vns amused yesterday by the story of
f. policeman who was sent to the opera
one night last week, and who Stood for n
time In the corridor near two famous
millionaires.
"When I seen them two faces," he said,
with rather an awe-stricken face, "which

by the Illustrated papers for years back,

How He Overeatue Ilia Own Fan
and staved a Valuable ffleasl The
Death of tha t;lflrd Ada Clara
Canned by Fear Hoc to ra In Ilia
Dark.
Hydrophobia is one of the most terrible,
the most mysterious and the rarest of
diseases that afllict humanity. Not one
doctor in a hundred ever taw a well
authenticatei! case of it.
I am at this moment writing this arti
cle with a baud lacerated by the bite of a
strange dog. I encountered Mm one
Sunday morning two weeks ago In front
of my residence. I aui a lover of dogs.
This was a bri:;dle.l 1 nil terrier held by a
chain. I patted him on the head. He
wagged his tail, jumped up affectionately
upon me. 1 slapped him playfully on his
side and in an instant he fastened his
fangs in my riht hand. One of them struck
an artory nnd cut it. I bought the do.
It cost me $15. I domiciled him. For
forty-eight hours I had one of those auli
Jective struggles which tench a man how
absolutely he Is at the mercy of his imagi
nation. I went tip to Dr. Hamilton. He
looked at my hand, and asked at once,
"Where is the dogV "Iv'e got him," I
replied. "Is he all right" Sound as a
dollar." "Then don't give the thing
another thought. If I cauterize the
wound yon are liable to have a secondary
hemorrhage, and then yon will be disabled
for a fortnight." '"That waa all tha medi
cal treatment I received. But 1 found
myself that bight dwelling upon the Inci
dent. All the dread possibilities were re
hearsed. My fancy exaggerated my
knowledge and my feelings. I felt prick
ing and burning sensations mn up my i
arm. I fell Into an uness-y dore. I heard
the snarl and saw the lenm of fangs In
the phantasmagoria of h nervous sleep.
1 woke up in the morning vnrefreshed
andwithadi.il eonsciousties that some-
tlrng was impending. After a tiath and a
walk in the (tin my resisting power began '
to assert itself. I saw that at this rate 1
would rvob'te out of nothipw all the symp-
toms of rabies.
I sincerely believe at this moment that I '
eooid hare brought on the symptoms of j
tetanus If I had only placed myself under I
my own Imagination. If that dog bad
shown any symptoms of skknesa 1 should
have been a case for Pasteur. But he :
proved to be as straight as a trivet. I '
made friends with him. I found that he ,
bad a broken rib. I must hare struck .
that wben I slapped hlui on the side.
Now consider a moment. If I had
killed that dog when he bit rr.e, as tt waa
very easy to do, all the sclerw e, all tha Iji- ,
telllgence and all the reason of the world
could cot have saved me from my own !
fears. And that Is the retilt with aJmo" '
every case of ''op bite. The first tep on I
the part of stupidity is to ki'l the doa. I
Then he is ox iared to Is; mn.1, and then
sets in the chain of subjective and faTjrifu.1
results. Science and common experience
agree that unless the dog has rabiea there
Is no danger of the victim of his Mte hav
ing hydrophobia. Well, my own ex
perience tells me that one dog in aliout
five thousand that are killed aa mad
really has rabies. Dog men are bitten ,
every day. Your ordinary dogfighter is
covered with scars. There Isn't a sports
man who hasn't had the mark of a tooth
on him.
The dog Is subject to epilepsy a'
nervous attacks that are common enough.
But if a poor animal should get a fit in
the streets of New York the cry of mad dog
is his doom and the doom of everybody
the bites. Could he be saved from the
Ignorant malice of the mob, something
might 1 determined. We should at least
know if imagination can hrliiK ou the
symptoms In the man while the dog Is
healthy.
Everybody remembers the gifted Ada
Clare, who was bitten In tlie face by a pet
dog. She died In the most horrihle parox
ysms of hydrophobia. I saw her just be
fore she died. She waa a woman of men
tal accomplishments and a strong, imagi
native teniperment. Science stood help
less at her bedside, unable to save her, and
powerless to assuage her ngui-ies with the
most powerful drug know to the pharma
copeia. Mr. Butler, I think lt was, in Burling
sHji, who ohtLincd the dog. At all events,
a month after AdaClare'a death I received
a note from a well-known dog fancier to
come and see the dog. The animal at that
time appeared to lie la perfect health- I
have always believed that Ada Clare was
the victim of her own Imagination.
Per contra, 1 saw a case of undoubted
hydrophobia 1n Wisconsin that was diag
nosed as tetanns. It was that of a child
six years old that wavs bitten by a Spitz
dog, that died two hours afier in a rabid
paroxysm. The parents were ignorant
Germans, knew nothing of hydrophobia
whatever, aixl the wound was a mere pin
prick in the thumb.
But a month later the child was taken
sick, and died, os I say, with all the
symptoms of hydrophobia The French
doctors, w ith characteristic Freuch viva
city, have pnt afloat more theories of hydro
phobia than all the rest of the world.
Their speculations have not. It is true,
verified anything, but they have stimulated
mqniry. Some yea is ago they shnt up
forty does nnd left them without water
nntll they diet!. In order to see if 'he
depritation would induce rabii-a, brtjt it
didn't. They they iricd an enforced con
tinence, and here ti.cy got a little light,
for several of the dogs develop! Incipient
epilepsy.
The theory was then propound".! that
hdrophobia was a sexual disease, found
only In the male dog. ant! was due to
enforced c uitmcnce. M. I'astenr does
not lake any stork in this theory. He has
pursied his invest ignt ions tin the line of
germinant or zytnolir mono latum, and
not on the line of enc:getic lecumiation.
But even I'asteur i.es t ot claim that
the bite of a dog that is not rabid ought to
cause hydrophobia, and his first question
w hen a case of dog bile is brought to him
is: "Wbeic is the dog?""
The answer to that qufsl ion a1 ays is:
"Oh, killed, of course." Pasteur and all
the rest of them are groping iu the dark
after that.
It sounds somen hat isnt 1 to say that
the life of a dog th;it is sr.ppscit to be
mml ought to be saved. But when the
case is understood the alwurditj- vanishes.
In the first place the rabid dog does not
start ont as the popular "ear paints him
upon an indiscriminate biting career.
I The dog, w het her mad or healthy, bites
and snaps only when irritwted. It is the
hunted dog 1 1. 'it bites af everything, and
I the assumption that be is mad. nets the
I crowd upon turn. 1 hen, w ioiight up to a
pitch of frenzy, he i ites and tears all with
in his reach. It is possible to produce
this kind of hydrophobia in any highly
organized dog. New York World.

disappeared beneath the water.
In a few seconds the wolf emerged alone,
clambered back on the log. and (ILacoT.no
lately pawed several bunches of fur from
beneath his glistening fangs. Tbe beaver
had escaped. But the wolf was not dis
couraged. In a moment or two he moved
further along tbe log and took up another
position of observation. The point be now
occupied was at the Junction of a buga
limb with the parent stem. This limb
made a semi-circular sweep of twenty-five
or thirty feet, its extreme end resting em
the bank. Tha water space thus enclosed
was not as deep as the rest of tha pond,
and near the shore was quite shallow. All
at one the wolf pricked up his ears, and
there could be seen the ripple that an
nounced the presence of a beaver. Soon
a black object appeared alos e the water
near the shore. It was the nose of a
beaver. Slowly the wolf crept along tbe
limb. His movements ware nolseleag.
