I She was the youngest but one of a family of eiffht. l'liysically, her Hie was and could be nothiny save one lonr crucitixion. Cripplod anil de formed, there stretched behind her a record of tiufferinjr; WTore her the pro?p.'et of frreater torture still. Na ture had used her cruelly, for while her puny ami misshapen frame in spired ridicule, or, at lest. shu Idering pity, she had lieen dowered with a capacity for affection that burnt itst-lf into fiercer intensity waiting the love that never came. Misunderstood, she had gradually retreated into a little world of her own, with nothing' to love. Nothing-? There was her violin, but that could hardly lj considered apart from Ida's own individuality. It was her violin that expressed more elo quently than herself could ever have done the loneliness and the loveless n ess of her life. "It speaks for me," she once con fessed to the old doctor, who under stood her better thin anyone else. "What other people feel they can ex plain in word.-.; but I seem to have no power of expression except through iny violiu." Dr. Marshall was silent for a m& inent; then he asked presently: "Did you ever hear uay loy Austin play?" Ida shook her bead. She had heard no one. Her morbid consciousness of infirmities prevented her from attenu inj any public concert, arid Austin Marshall, as she well knew, was a pro fessional violinist of repute. "You ou-rht to hear hi in. They tell me his execution is remarkably g-ood and, besides, geniuses like you two ought to know each other. 111 tell you what I'll do," he added kindly; "I'll bring- him round one evening to see you, if you like, when he isn't busy." Not many days elapsed ere the doc tor kept his promise, and Austin Mar shell, tall and strong, held the small, wasted hand of the. diminutive musi cian, and wondered the while how the perfect soul his father had described, had managed to find itself in that mis shapen little' body. And later, on, when Ida had completely astounded him with her rendering of . Dvorak's "Romance" wild, intense and heart breaking he told himself that such a thing was monstrous. Here was an untutored genius, beside whom him self would pale into comparative insig nificance, doomed by nature to perpet ual solitude while, Orpheus-like, she ought by her music to charm into life the rocks and trees. "You want some lessons to correct a few technical errors," he said at last, "and then you ought to lie able to hold your own at (jneen's hall or St. Jiiines' with the best of them. If I could be lieve in the transmigration of souls. 1 would swear the lost soul of some re pentant sinner is imprisoned in your violin." - He spoke with the generous enthusi asm of gcuius, mere talent is sparing of praise and liefrudges success. "1 can uever play iu puhlic," she an swered, brietly, with a p:ittiful tlush that testifier! to lier sensitive recogni iio:i of physics I defects. "1 la on a public platform! Why they'd never see her!" interpolated a jovi:;l elder brothor with the brutal cand- i adiuiring friends had sometimes mis taken for frank geuiality. "We call her the Diminished Seventh." 13 added, with a-conscious smile that betrayed the originator of the questionable pleasantry. 1'oor Diminished Seventh: She winced as from a blow, and Austin, with the intention of covering her con fusion, observed with ready tact: "I suppose lcause the d.uiuor har monies are most perfect and least tin derstood." That evening was but the forernnne of many similar. Scarce a day passeu without Austin Marshall contriving to spend some time with the deformed musician. And as the days lapsed into weeks, and the weeks into months, it was noted that when Ida played alone her airs were more romantic than lie fore. And even her unmusical family became infected ith their ga yet-; her mother (who frequently allvged she could enjoy good music as much as anyone if she could only get it) was cheered to the verge of joyful anticipa tion. For who knew that Ida might . not attain the supreme heigiit of in spiring dance-music, such as her mother loved, aud abandon forever those ghoulish wails she said were classical. Kut when the old doctor noticed the change he shook his head in apprehen siou. while tears of pity tilled his eyes. II is profession had trained him to read the longings of the heart as well as the infirmities of the tenement it inhabited, and if all he thought and dreaded --wore true ! Had things been differ ent! If Ida had rot licen didinctly isolated by nature from the sweetest g'tiLi that life cau hold! And one evening came the crisis the good dtctor fi-ared. "I t liall miss all this dreadfully when I'm away." Austin said, as he turned over a pile of musie lor a purticului "duct. "I'm going north in a day or two, you know didn't 1 tell you?" he added, answering the unspoken ques tion. "Next autumn, when I am- back again," he said, presentlj, feeling vaguely that ' something was wrong, "we shall have sorae more pleasant evenings together, I.hcpe." Ida spake not. ' For a moment she was conscious of naught save a terri ble sense of absolute despair and a cu rious buzzing in her -head like the re peated twanging of the ti string. Going away and until the autumn! Why, by that time she might be dead and buried. She looked round vacant ly, as one gropes blindly in the dark for some familiar object. She tried to speak, but the words refused to come. . Something like a dry sob rose and was strangled in her throat." Then, with out a single word, she took up her bow a?ain and ..drew it softly across the vibrating strings. Austin looked up In momentary surprise. Then he sat spellbound while she played the weird "Romance" of S vend sen's, once heard, never forgotten. He had beard it played by more than one finished musician; but this was a different rendering. It was like the despairing cry of a lusty swimmer failing close to shore, or the wail of a lost soul striving to wacape from the HE IS A FBKKMAN WHOM TEX TRUTH MAKES EBENSI3TJRG, PA., sea or torture au.l o riven oy a nosi of fallen angels. In those strains he read her heart plainly, as though speech had passed Wtween them; he knew the bitterness of her life; he saw that vista gray and barren lie fore her; and when the last notes died away he learnt in a brief glance from Ida's eyes all the strange discords bad not confessed. It was but for an instant. For, in. the next, overcome by the strong ex citement she had just experienced, the Ihiw slid helplessly from her nerveless fingers and she fainted. Symptoms of little moment in an ordinary person might in hex case prog nosticate the worst, and any new phase, hawever slight, was at once submitted to medical opinion. In the present in stance, as she failed to respond readily to the customary treatment, Austin hastened for his father while she was carried to her room. She had over-excited herself with her music was the general explanation of the seizure, and this was what the doctor was told when he answered the hastv summons. In a brief space, however, she yielded to his restoratives, and before he left the house she had dropped into a sleep quiet and natural. For some time father and son went homeward in sileuce. Then the doctor asked abruptly: "Does Ida know you are going away?" "I told lier this evening," Austin an swered, and in some confusion as he re called, the way she had received the news. "Father, do you know " "Ah! That accounts for it," said the old man, as though speaking to him self. "Yes. Do I know what?" "Well I think that is, I'm af raid that Ida " He stopped short, for the confession was alike tender and humiliating. Hut his father, who had feared such a contingency well-nigh from the first, understood what had been left unsaid. "I know, Austin, I know. But what is to be done? The friendship that you have felt for her that she believes she has felt for you has been the one bright spot in her life. Seventeen years old and seventeen years of per petual mart3-rdom. I )o you know how long I give her to live?" "1 suppose that when she is twenty one " Austin began, but the doctor cut him short. "If she lives to see the spring," he said, gravely, "I shall be surprised." The young man was startled, even shocked. There was sileuce between them for a few moments. Then the doctor said, with hesitation: "Austin, I suprjose you would not think of putting off your visit to the Harrisons? I know Marian expects you but I think if she knew the pleas ure you would be giving that poor child whose days are numbered, she would lie the first to bid you stay. In a case like this there can be no ques tion of disloyalty to her. And, Austin, if you can for Heaven's sake let her still believe that she has found the af fection she has craved all her life. The deception won't le very long, and it will comfort her nlore in her last struggles than I or the entire college of physicians could hope to do with all the science that the world has ever Five weeks later, in Ida's bedroom a thin ribbon of spring sunshine had' struggled through a crevice of the window-blind and lay a bright streak across the floor. Outside, the garden was cheerful with the song of birds and the rustling of leaves. Inside, sat the little cripple propped up with pil lows, her pitiful vitality burning itself slowly away. She knew she was dying, but the knowledge brought her no fear. Per haps she believed that if eternity held for her worse torture than she had yet eudured she had served on earth an apprenticeship to pain long enough to fit her for it. Perhaps Austin Mar shall's companionship and sympathy during the last few weeks were making the end comparatively easy. At any rate, when the door was opened quiet ly and he looked in, violin in hand, she greeted him with a grateful smile. "Like to have some music?" he asked, cheerfully, though he was pained to mark each day how her hold on life was weakeniug. "What shall I play?" "tiive me mine," she said, suddenly, "and we'll play together." The violin lay, as usual, on the table close by, but Austin hesitated. "If von really feel equal to the ex ertion, he liegan, and then, answer ing the command in her ej'es, he passed it to her without another word. With tremulous fingers she drew her bow across the strings, aud, recog nizing in the opening notes her favor ite "Lied," ly Schubert, Austin softly followed, and in a moment was so ab sorbed he scarce noticed how her I low ing lecame gradually weaker, until it faltered and stopped just liefore the concluding bars, lie looked up in sud den apprehension. Surely her face had not worn that strange gray snadow just lie fore? "Ida!" She did not move. "Ida! What is the matter what is it?" She opened her eyes, but they fell on him without a gleam of recognition. Then she dropped them on the violin she was still holding. A faint smile rested for a momeut on her lips. With an unsteady hand she mechanically raised her bow. Then, with one chord that of the Diminished Seventh it dropped from her relaxing hold, but not before Austin had involuntarily concluded the phrase, so that the Diminished Seventh was resolved into perfect harmonv.

A ' journey of nearly seven hundred miles through the bush was necessary for the new bishop of Mashonaland, South Africa, to reach the center of his diocese, and he says: "It was a very rough journey, with scarcely any sleep and little food. .On Sunday afternoon, after many hours' traveling in choking dust and heat, we rested for an hour at a wayside shanty of poles and mud. Prospectors were lounging around, and one man had put on a clean shirt, but all were hearty and glad to see the bisliop. I expect that I was the only bisliop in the world on that particular Sunday, sitting astride a plank, cutting slices of 'biltung with my pocket knife, and washing them down with digger lea out of a billy, a sort of tin pot which prospectors carry about." - v FBKK AND ALL ABB SLATES BKfilDB. OCTOBER 25, 1895. Two 1 table Which Tears of Joy. One of the women attendants out at the children's sanitarium on the Lin coln park lake shore tells a pretty story, says the Chicago Chronicle. "A woman who was sick enough her self to be in a hospital came up here with her child. It was a tiny thing, and so weak that it could hardly cry. The mother had to lie assisted under he shelter, and then we gave her a re clining place from which she could see the lake. Soon after there stopjied in front of the building an imposing car riage and team. The occupants were a woman whose dress indicated riches aud refinement, a pretty and elabor ately dressed baby, and the nurse. The three came in. The mistress of the party saw the woman and spoke to her. I did not .hear what was said at first, but a few momeuts later I heard the rich woman say: " 'Don't be afraid. I will leave you my child as security.' And with that the rich woman picked np the tiny child that was so weak, and carried it herself to the carriage and got in and was driven away. The nurse and the rich oaby remained at the sanitarium anil entertained the sick woman, and when the other returned the sick child hail on a new dress, and a Lunch of sweet peas was fastened alout its neck. It was all so quietly done, and so pretty, too, I just went off alone and cried from joy." MORALS IN RUSSIAN ASIA. Are Used Mock Moueatjr of Natives Who to Mhoekine; Sights. The status of women, which is al ready too low in Russia itself, is even worse in those parts of Asia which are under Russian control. A respectable lady there will not accept an invitation of a gentleman to any place of amuse ment unless some member of her own family accompanies her, and this ten dency of the really good women to draw the line between themselves and the extreme looseness of the lower classes has resulted in a prudishness which proved rather embarrassing a year or two ago to Thomas tS. Allen, Jr., whose account of his bicycle trip across Asia so interested the readers of the Century magazine a few months ago. The particular instance in question he relates as follows: "Whenever exercising on the wheel we had adopted the English custom of turning over the upper portion of the stocking to leave the kneecap free for action, but, far from suiting the exqui site sensibilities of Tashkent society, this feature of our professional cos tume was looked upon as actually in decent. n this particular occasion a certain epauletted individual accosted us rather abruptly and, with a supercil ious glance at our knees, informed us that our 'indecent exjHsure had pro duced considerable abashment among his lady companions. Of course we re tired at once to avert the disastrous ef fects of a second esthetic shock, but we wondered at the same tune how it was that a commuuity which could connive at social scandals and look with equa nimity upon the half-naked natives working on the street should Ik- so dis concerted at the sight of a kneecap." A TREE SUNSTRUCK. Hot Weather Put. kind ao a Urge Maple. The editor of Meehan's Monthly tellsof being summoned to hold au inquest over a dead sugar maple tree. It was supposed to have been destroyed by a leak in the city gas main, near its roots, but an examination convinc-d Mr. Mee han that the tree had died literally from sunstroke. This maple had been planted on the street nlnuit twenty-live years, and was some four feet in girth. The trunk, however, instead of being cylindrical, was shaped like a triangular prism, a Hculiarity owing to the fact that on three sides of it the inner bark anil wood had lieen killed, while the outer bark continued to cover up th.- injury so that the only living wood was at the angles of the trunk. Practically no more than one-third of the surface of the trunk was alive, and when the ex ceedingly warm weather came the lim ited number of ducts were not suilieicnt to supply the moisture neitliil to meet the rapid transpiration from so large a surface of foliage, consequently the leaves wilted and the tree died. Whenever the trunk of a tree takes on this angular form it should lo ex amined under the bark, and if the Hat ter portions are found dead the bark and the decaying part of the wood should be wholly cut away and the de nuded part painted to check the rot ting. In time healthy wood may grow over such a scar, and the life of the tree may thus be eventually saved. Kot a tiMxl Llkeneaa. It is not always easy to recognize the "gentlemen and ladies of sculpture." No wonder the-old lady in the follow ing story, taken from the Evangelist, was somewhat in doubt: In the "monu ment room" of Trinity church is a large marble tablet put up in memory of the late HLshop Hobart. It is a bas-relief, representing the bishop as dying, and sinking into the arms of an allegorical female figure, probably intended for the angel of death. Years ago an aged couple from the country were shown about the church, and when they reached the tablet they paused long before it. At last the dear old lady spoke. "That's a good likeness of tlu v bishop," she said, "but" here she re garded the angelic personage attentive ly "it's a poor one of Mrs. Hobart. 1 knew her well, and she didn't look lik that!" . Her Inconamtuat-j. "I'm sorry," she said gently, "that I cannot lie all that vbu wish iu your life. But I will always think of you as a very dear friend." 'Thank you," he said. "And if there is any way I can ever assist you by advice or endeavor do not hesitate to call on me." "That's downright kind of you," he replied, greatly cheered. "You can help me." "How?" "You see, -o long as you have de clined to be miue, I thought I'd pro pose to Miss Binkins, and if you'll see her and put in a good word for me, you know" And that's why she jumped up and went away huffy, and vowed she'd never speak to him again as long as she lived.

A number of the iinsst celebrated of French pianists were recently asked to state the piece which they found it most difficult to execute. The answers are naturally tnst varied. There is a general agreement that difficulties of style are much less easy to overcome than those of technique. From the standpoint of mechanical difficulty, M. Marmontel thinks Beethoven's Sonata Op. 3 the most redoubtable piece. M. Dieiner and M. Plante accord the palm to Balaclcireff's L'Islamev, aud M. Pfeiffi- finds himself embarrassed le tween the claims of Liszt's "Rhapsodies and Studies," Tausig's "Transcriptions" and Alkali's "Variations." M. Dela brode discreetly and enigmatically re plies that the most difficult piece for him is invariably the piece which he happens to lie playing at any moment. To M. de Beriot the modest scale de manding as it does the most perfect equality throughout is the supreme difficulty, and one must work at it, he declares, until one's last breath A Wily Sen tr tun mi. fVas not this the retort courteous? It was the custom in Scotch parishes for the minister to 1kw to the laird's pew before beginning his discourse- On one occasion the pew contained a bevy of ladies, and the minister, feeling a deli cacy in the circumstances, omitted the usual salaam. When they next met the laird's daughter a Miss Miller, widely famed for her beauty and afterward countess of Mar rallied the minister for not bowing to her from the pulpit. . "Your ladyship forgets," replied the minister, "that the worship of angels is not allowed by the Scotch church." He Would Get It. Lord Cockburn, though a successful defender of prisoners, failed on one oc casion to get an acquittal for a mur derer. "The culprit," Mr. Croak James tells us, iu his "Curiosities of Law and Lawyers," "after the sentence fixing his execution for the 20th of the month, had not been removed from the dock when his counsel passed him, and was then seized by the gown. The prisoner said: 'I have not got justice, Mr. Cockburn. To this counsel grave ly replied: 'Perhaps not, but you'll get it on the aoth." " till postage per year In advance. lhM-wtw It to lie.

Ktideore of Kraaonlnir I'owrr Shown ln His Artiona. A dog and horse owned by Col. W. J. Hillings, of Oil City. Pa., says the Der rick of tnat city, afford the neiglilnirs considerable amusemcut. The animals are companions and full of intelligence. The horse has learned to pick and un tie all sorts of knots, and unless the door is fastened by a padlock it is im possible to keep him in the stable dur ing the present hot weather, with, the lawns in the ueighliorhood olTering overpowering temptations in the way of juicy, clean grass. This trait gives the dog much trouble, for the horse pays no attention to his barking or sharp nippings, but keeps t res pacing ou the colonel's lawn or that of neigh lors without discrimination. After trying by all manner of stratagems to get the horse lack into the stable where he lielongs, the dog will give up the job in disgust, rush into the hotisa'. and bv barking or dragging at the dress of some of the lady iiicmlicrs of the family, entice them to the window or yard, and as plainly as if he told in words show that the horse is in mis chief. This performance has been re peated a dczen times during the sum mer and in no case has the dog leggcd outside assistance until he had tried by every effort of his own to persuade his couiKinion to return to the stable. CORNS AS WEATHER PROPHETS. Said to Me lufallltile liy m Man Who tan Theiu. "Do you know that the Ivest weather predictor in the world." said a well known physician to a Philadelphia Record rejxwter, "is a well-developed hard corn on any of the principal toc? I have one on the third toe of my right foot that informs me of a coming change in the weather far more relia bly than the signal service man with his wealth of scientific instrument:. Of course. I keep the corn well laired. but that doesu't make a particle of dif ference with the merit of it as a xrog uosticator. Just alout twenty-four hours ln-fore a change in the weather the corn Wgius its predictions by a sharp pain that I can only liken to a red-hot needle Wing thrust into the joint of the toe. The pain is intermit tent, and for this I am thankful, for if it should pain without pause it would drive me daft. I can assign no cause for the phenomenon, nor have I ever lieen able to get a reason from the hun dreds of diH'tors I know, many of whom are afflicted the same as myself. A great many of my patients are iossessed of a similar infallible barometer, aud many of them have come to me f. .r re lief. But the ouly relief I can suggest is to remove to a country where the weather never changes." NOT SAVED BY HIS RANK, liy th? Stu- (jemian Emperor Was llmza-tf lt-nt at Itonn. Dr. W. Clark Robinson, of Edinburg. was a classmate of Emperor William of Germany at Bonn, says the Boston Transcript. Telling of his first meet ing with the German emperor he said the other day: "It was in the fall of TS when I first met the emperor. He was a student at Bonn. I shall never forget the amusing spectacle lie pre sented. You know it is the custom of the students at Bonn to take a daily plunge in the waters of the Rhine. For the new man this isa trying ordeal. When they go down to. the Rhine to take their first swim they are repeat edly ducked by the older students un til thev crv for niercv. Everyone was on the lookout for the prince's initial appearance, and when he ventured into the river he was ducked unmercifully. But William would never give up. Down again and again went the future emperor's head, but he fduekily refused to give up. Finally, when he had reached the verge of total c illapse. lie was pulled out of the water looking more like a drowned rat than a live man. It took us nearly twenty min utes to bring around Germany's future ruler. Frifrld InllneM f ashionable. The order has gone forth that the manners and customs of the Russian court are to le remodeled on the Eng lish S3stem. The said manners and customs have always had more of liar baric splendor than of western refine ment alniut them, but, although life u nl tar the new regime will le much more respectable, it will not le half so amusing, and it will lie interesting to see how St. Petersburg society will take to the change.

Chee-Foo, where the treaty of peace was signed ln-twivn China and Japan, and which also gm-s by the name of Yeu-Tai. is one of the lest known ports in the northeastern part of China. It is situated at the head of one of the bays of the Gulf of Petehili and is in the neigh xrhoid of two of the most prom inent places in the recent Chino-Japan-cse war. It was here that the peace of 176 lietwcc n Knglaud and China was signed; by which three new ports of entry were opened to foreign commerce. The signing of the treaty on the th of last M.tv lietwcen the two inimical brothers of the far orient has given Chee-Foo a new historical importance. From June !, ls."0, until the Chino Kurojiean war, France had occupied Chee-Foo without any interference from foreign powers. It is thickly jopulated. having one Hundred and twenty thousand inhabi tants, according to the consular re ports of I sl. In summer it is a fash ionable watering place like Trouville and Brighton. It is very attractive, with its villas with vine-enshrouded verandas clustering on the hillsides which overlook Semaphore Point or dotting the plain. Beside the signal tower a pretty jutgoda rears its head, crowned by its cap with upturned wings. America and Russia send pe troleum oil to Chee-Foo, England cot tons and metals. The great article of exjort is raw silk. In the quarter facing the sea, in a small hotel, liearing the European name of Beach hotel, the peace treaty Jietween the Chinese and Japanese plenipotentiaries was signed. WHAT IS ELECTRICITY? SonaB of the V.riooa Theorie. on the Mysterious Current Well, what is it? It is scarcely possi ble to say. There are theories many of them. It is evidently something of which we cannot take a part; we can not cut a piece of it off and subject it to analysis; nor can we pour a little of it into a bottle for future study and contemplation. It is like the wind, its effects can be measured; its force, strength and quantity can now be cal culated to a very nice degree. Still, to liken it to the wind, it is a stupendous power, a mighty typhoon, blowing, as it were, without moving, two ways at onee along all parts of its path; giving off a halo of magnetism at right angles to that pat h everywhere. One of the nicest theories, perhaps, is the one that considers electricity a "condition" of atoms, brought altout by chemical action, as in a battery cell, or by what might le called a severe irritation of the magnetic halo, as in a dynamo, and by other means, such as heat and friction. W hat this condition is is levond us; it way le a violent rotation, or it may Ik- an equally violent vibration of atoms; proliably the arc light would prove it to le a vibration. But as no man has seen an atom at any time, not even witn tlie most powerlui micro scope, it is impossible to say. Friction in some form or other is present, as heat is produced liefore burning, or de struction, takes place. WHEN BIG SLEEVES GO. There Wll He Many Surprise. When We See Our Friends tra I a. Much interest attaches to the rumor which comes from Lmdon that the princess of Wales and her daughters have lieen lately seen in public in gowns with small sleeves and narrow skirts, remarks the San Francisco Argo naut. This bit of intelligence does not neces sarily cinch the doom of the lialloon sleeves and the letter A skirts, but it will tend to make prudent investors wary of locking up much capital in those vanities of course, the balliwin sleeves must go presently. When fashionable moth ers liegan to put them on little boys' legged nightgowns it lieeanie apparent that the taste for them had come to be an extravagance and could not last. But it w ill Ik a shock to miss them. Doubtless we will find our friends much changed when we get down to their real selves again. Some who have grown stout will not shrink as much as we expect, and others who wore awav ill the hard times perhaps will shrink much more. But let us have the facts at any eost, Osjecially as there must be material enough in the present sleeves and skirts to cut over into anythtug conceivable and have enough left over to clothe a child. Old-Time Football. Football has never been a very pen tie game, to judge from what Master Stubbes says alxuit it in his "Anatomic of Abuses," published in For as concerning football playing, I protest unto you it may rather be called a friendly kinde of fight than a play or recreation; a bloody and inurthcring practice than a siort or pastime. For dixith not every one lye in waight for his adversarie, seeking to overthrow him ami to picke him on his nose, though it le on hard stones, so that by this mealies, sometimes their necks are broken, sometimes tTleir backs, some times their legs, sometimes their amies; sometimes one part thrust out of joynt. sometimes another: sometimes the noses gush out with blood, some times their eyes start out.
