Tho darkness was intense, and it had a singularly depressing effect on mo as I groped along, stealthily following tho rustling sound ot; a woman's dress. In wo pursuit, I had climbed manv utono stairways, and at last I found- myself walking on a narrow ledge, scarcely wide enough to afford a Bafe footing. "With my cane I reached over tho ledge, but not far, as I could touch nothing, and a feeling of dread camo over mo lest I should Ioso my balance. To my left. was mo wan, wnicn arcnea so low abovo as to compel mo to stoop in walklnir. At each stop, tho overhanging masonry seemed to become lower and lower, as if pressing mo into the unfathomable abyss. Tho darkness momentarily grow more and more dense, oppressive, pal pableit forced itself on alt tho.senscs at once. There was a damp, musty smell in tho nir, and tho dust which had been undisturbed for years aroso in a stifling cloud. Numerous bats often flapped their wings almost in mv faco. and their harsh, squeaking notes gave a fitting voice to tho gloom. lne associations surroundlner tho un canny place added to tho horror of my situation. Tho building was in a de serted quarter of tho City of Mexico. The masslvo pilo had for many years been abandoned by all reputable porsons and' pursuits. Its labyrinthino interior was a safo rofugo for a horde of murderous marauders. Many a bravo officer of tho law, while searching for a criminal, had been stabbed to his death bv a hand sud denly thrust from ono of tho dark re cesses. Only tho week beforo a prominent and respected citizen had been murdered within theso dread precincts. His beau tiful daughter, Dolores, had formed an attachment for a handsome and dashing young profligate named Manuel Lopez. He was tho leader of a band of freeboot ers who made their headquarters in the building. The father took some deter mined steps and thought ho had broken up tne allalr; but ono day a rumor reached his ears that Dolores often met her lover in that ill famed retreat. One night ho followed her, and, to his intense grief, found that the rumor was truo. Ue awaited the meeting, and then rushed at Lopez with the fury of a'tiger. -The next instant tho father fell with' a fatal knife thrust in his heart. The shrieks Of tho affrighted girl brought several officers, to tho spot where tho bodv was found. and tho news of tho dreadful tragedy spread throughout the"clty. The funeral took place amid general lamentation, and a largo reward was offered for the appre-' henslon of tho murderer. A number of mounted officers scoured tho neighboring country; but from the first I was convinced that Lopez had not left Ids den. From what I could learn of the girl I was also certain that she had not even yet entirely deserted her lover. My watch of seven days and nights was now rewarded by tho rearjriearance of tho girl in the building, and, notwith standing my fears, I cautiously followed the rustling sound of tho dress in tho darkness before me. By an occasional glimmer it was evident that tho girl had a faint light to guide her stops. Fortu nately sho moved slowly, and I was en abled to follow closely by carefully feel ing my way with my cane and out stretched hand. My feot wero muffled, out i was m constant dread lest my movemeuts should be heard. For 6ome dlstanco tho wall to my left was solid, but at last I perceived that it had numerous narrow recesses, much deener than 1 could measure with my arm or cane. This increased tho horror of my situa tion, for at each opening I half expected tho murderous Spaniard to rush out and hurl me Into unknown depths below. buddenly 1 was checked m my pursuit by a startling incident. Tho girl stopped, tho glimmering light entirely disap peared, ana i neara a volco, low, but ve hement with rapturous delight. "Dolores, my darling! I know you would comedo mo, tha( yqup lovo would show you that I was wot to blame. And it was not my fault, I swear to you. He sprang at mo liko a wild beast, anil, not' knowing what I did, I drew my knifo in self defense and killed lilm. I acted on tho swift impulso of tha moment, and surely you cannot blame mo." "I do not blamo you, Manuel," tho girl said, slowly and with infinite sadness in her tones; "but we must part forever. I camo to-night to bid you, a, last farewell." -An, qa nop say mat, UjRtar came tho man's voice, in desperate pleading; "see, I could not act otherwise. For your sake, I would never have; harmed mm yes, i coma even nave fought tor him; but ho camo upon mo liko tho wind, he gave me no time for thought I know only that ono of us must die. Consider, how would it have been had he lived had ho killed me? Could you havo been his child again? No; you had chosen mo, and I but served your love when I preservocl my life. Think, dear one, you wero mino'b'y fate's decree, and are you the less mlno that I havo taken tho only course against a man who would have killed me?" "It cannot bo, it cannot be, Manuel," mqanod ho girj, hopelessly; "my fa ther's blood is upon your hands and wo must part forever," "Come, come, Dolores, bo not too haaty, You must tako time to think. Cgmoi lot me lead you to it reat. Why do you draw back from me? I know every foot of the way here, and can find my way as easily in the dark as in the light. Besides, would It be 60 great a harm If we should fall over this ledgu wo, whose lovo la greater than love of life itself? It is iwmy feet to the ston !loor o( the court below, and I have ieard It said tha,t before falling half the distance one's breath is taken away and death comes as peacefully as sleep to a babe. Come, Lollta, cornel" There was a sound as if tho girl were lieing half led, lialf dragged over the gtones. Sho uttered an entreating moau, which thrilled me through and through cUh benor. Littlo wonder that slut ww lover; his pleading earnestness had changed to a Tlespornto, despairing tone. I felt that he was about to commit Borne other dreadful deed, but I was power loss to interfere. Tho ledgo along which I had been feeling my way ended ab ruptly, and my cano failed to touch a further footing in any direction. Suddenly tho noise of .dragging, inter mingled with moans from tho girl, ceased, and the next instant from below I heard n torriblo shriek, fdllowed by sounds as if falling objects, wero striking against projections in a rapid descent. Then all was still again. I peered into tho darkness for n mo ment till 1 hoard a murmur of voices. At last n lantern was brought. It ro vealedagroup of horror stricken men gathered nrottnd two prostrate forms which lay on. tho stone floor far. bo low. Thoy were tho mangled bodies of Manuel Lopez and Dolores, fallen upon almost the samo stono whore tho father had poured out his lifo's bloodafow nights before. Clara Megandel In Tho Argonaut. Custe In India. A Hindoo will niako casto an excuso for anytldng, and Anelo-Indlan law will back him up in his villainy. If in piss ing through a crowded bazar your cloth ing Bliouia brusli against a heap of grain exposed on tho ground, as overything is here, and if this grain merohant should claim that this grain was set apart for nativo food: if this honest nativo chooses, to maire you buy that heap of grain at his own selling price, he has the law on hla side, and tho judgo also, if, as is so often tho case, tho judge be a Hindoo. You may wish to keep house in a mod est sort of a way, and you may wish to havo as few servants about tho houso as possible. In America ono servant, or two at most, would bo amplo, but here on tho same scale of living you must keep a dozen at least. Your bhistlo will carry water and nothing else; such is tho rulo of his caste. Your khansama will cook your food that is, tho small portion of it that ho docs not steal, but will not wait on table; for this you must havo your khidmuggar. Your syce will drive, but will not clean or harness your nor so; tor tuia you must pay another man. You must havo tho big doors all around tho houso wide open these hot nights or you cannot breatho, and so you must have a chokidar (watchman), who is generally a Gujerati, a well known casto of acknowledged thioves. The nativo police, as you would ex pect, aro tho worst thieves in tho coun try. Not ono of your baker's dozen of servants ha3 ono good, honest half hour's work in tho wholo twenty-four hours, but not ono of them will lift a finger to do anything which ho does not consider his work, and, as you will see, this is a matter which he has entirely in his own hands. For all of which tho excuso is that casto rules will not allow them to do any other kind of work; and although you may know very well that this is an absurd lio, Invented only for your annoy ance and robbery, yet, what are you go ing to do about it? Every man of them steals like a pick pocket, and every man of theni will lie in a way which no white man, no mat ter how talontcd he may be, oan over hope to imitate. You may bo annoyed beyond all endurance; the inconvenience and loss of timo nnd money may bo' most serious; but yet, If you lot your angry passions rise and get the better of your judgment, and proceed to kick one of, these' fellows off the premises, you will probably pay a fine of 100 rupees, and then they will boycott you in a way which no trades union over dared to do yet. Again, Anglo-Indian law is on the side of tho native. Cor. Minneapolis Tribune. ' Musto in JSurope. Speaking of singing, Mr. Brand made the startling statement that not one pub lib singer in 4ten in America can read muslo fluently, whllo In Europe the chil dren aro eduoated in this direction from childhood. In Stockholm is to bo heard the finest chorus In tho world that of tho students in the university. A short timo before Mr. Brand's visit, an Amer ican manager tried to effect an arrange ment to bring over 100 of tho best sing ers. In addition to paying the expenses, ho offered tho students $1 a week for spending money. Thoy didn't accent. Tho atmosphere, undoubtedly, has Borae- ttnng to do with the Hne timbro of Scan dinavian voices. Then, too, tho loose gowns worn by tho women allow their lungs and voices full development. So well do the people read music that large assemblages readily sing pieces which they have never Been before. One chorus of thirty voices which Blngs for King uscar ana which has practiced together for fifteen years keeps such perfect time that ono who hears without seeing the singers would think that it was only a auartet.

I was Uion n young midshipman and enjoyed tho leave on shore In a foreign port with boyish delight. There wero six in our mesa, and we managed to get shoro leavo so as to bo together when it was poasiMo to do so. This was the case ono fine Sunday In th month ot Decern bar, as mild and summer like in tho south of Franoo as a New England Mav, day, , Tho singular experience of one of our number 1 have often told since about the mess tablo or camp Are, but havo never put it into print Wo wore strolling on tho square known as Lo Oours St. Louis, a sort of perma nent flower market, where the women sit enthroned In tent like stalls of wood, en circled by their bright, beautiful and fragrant wares, while the manner of ar ranging the stalls, so that the vender sits raised some six feet in the air, gave novel effect to the scene. While we were idling away the hour in La uoura Ht. Louis, with these roguish and pretty flower venders; we wore all thrown into a stats of amazement and curiosity by the appearance of a young girl of about 17, who rushed among us with a startling speed, and who, hardly pausing to regain her breath, said in ex- oeUent English t "You aro Americans, and, I trust, gen tiemen. Is thero ono among you who win marry me? ' "We will all marry you," was the in stant response, accompanied by hearty laughter. "Ah, you aro in sport, but I am in earnest. Who will marry mer Thero seemed to bo no joke after al) The girl was positively in earnest and looked at one and all' of us as coolly, yet earnestly, as possible. "Here, Harry," said one who was rather a icaaer among us, ana addressing Harry, you want a wire," ana he gave our com' rade a slight push toward the clrl. For some singular reason Harry took tho matter much mora in earnest than tho rest of us, and regarded the new comer with a most searching but respect ful glance. Approaohlng her he said: "I do not know exactly what you moan, but I can understand by your ex pression of faco that you are quite in earnest. Will you take my arm and let us walk to one side?" "Yes; but I have no time to lose." And taking his arm they walked away tugemer. we loosea upon tne affair as some well prepared joke, but wore a littlo an noyed at. tho non-appearance of Harry at our rendezvous on the quay. Our leavo expired at sunset, and ,we dared not wait for him, as Copt. D was a thorough dlsolplinarian, and we didn'f care to provoke him and'thns endanger our next aunoay'e leave. On board wo went, therefore; leaving Harry on shore. When wa reported the question was, of course, asked -where jmaahlpman B was, to which query we could return no proper answer, as we really did not know. He knew perfectly well that we must all be at tho boat land ing just before sunset. Harry did not make his appearance until the next day at noon, when ho pulled to the ship in a shore boat.' And. coming on board, reported at ones to the captain, who stood Upon the quarter deck, and asked tho privilege of a private interview. Tho circumstances connected with the absence of Harry were very peculiar. and as he was one of the most correct fellows on board, his request was granted by the captain, who retired to his cabin, followed by tho delinquent. After re maining with the commander for nearly an hour, he came out and joined us. "What is the upshot of It, Harry?" we asked. "Well, lads, I'm married that's all." "Married?" asked the meas. In one voice. "Tied for life!" was the answer. "Hard and fast?" "Irrevocably." "To that little craft you scudded away with?" "Exactly. As good and puro a girl as ever lived," said Harry, earnestly. "W-h-e-wl" whispered one and all "How did Old Neptune let you off?" we all eagerly inquired that being the name the captain went by on board. "He is hard on me," said Harry, seri ously. "What do you think he de mands, lads?" "Can't say, what Is it?" "If I don't resign ha will send me home in disgrace. That's his ultima tum." "W-h-e-wl" again from all hand's. Harry told us his story in a desultory manner, interrupted' by many questions and ejaculations,-but which wo will put Into a elmplo form for the convenience of the reader. Julie Meurice was the orphan child of a merchant, who had been of high standing during his life and who left a handsome fortune to endow his daugh ter on ker wedding day, or, if not mar ried before,sheVaa to receive the prop erty on corning to the age of 90 years. Her mother had. died in her infancy, and her father, when' she was 10 years of age, placed her IrS a convent, to be educated, where she remained until his death, which occurred suddenly six months ptovioas to lb period of our sk'etch. After his death Julie became the ward of her unole, by tha tcrior of 'her father's will, and tlie period of her educational course having just closed at the con vent, Hubert Meurice, the unole, brought her home to his family circle. Mme. Meurice, it appears, was a scheming, calculating woman, and knowing that Julie would be an heiress she tried every way to promote her inti maoy with her own eon, who was an uncouth and ignorant youth of 18 years, without one attractive point In his character, Hubert Maurice, the uncje of Julie, was a sea caftaln, whosi calling carried him much away from his home. Dart tag bis absence his wife treated Julie with the utmost tyranny, even keeping her looked up in her room for days to gether, telling her that when she would consent to marry her son, Hubert, she would release her and do all she could to make her happy. But to this Julia could not consent. Imprisonment even was preferable to accepting her awk ward and repulsive cousin. One day she overheard a conversation, between her aunt and her hopeful sob, wherein the mystery of her treatment was solved. The boy asked his motle what- was thauu of botheruur and imoounixue .rune so. "If she doesn't want to marry me, mother, drop tho matter. I like Julie, and sho would make me a nice littlo wife, but I don't want her against her will." "You nre a fool," snid the mother. "You know nothing ahout the matter. Her father's will endows her with a fort une at her marriage, oven If It bo at 17, just her present age. At 30 sho receives the f ortuno at any'rato. Now, don't you see it you marry her wo ore all flxsd for life?" "Does Julio know about the monev?" he asked. "No, of course not." "It's h littlo sharp on her," said the boy. "I'm looking out for you," said the mother. "Just so," mused the hopeful. "I am resolved that she shall marrv you, and that is why I keep her locked up, so that pho may not see someone she would like better. Your father islex' pected homo next week. I want you to be married before he returns. He ap proves of it, but is a little too delicate about pressing matters so auiokly. I know that no time is like the present time, so I have been making arrange ments to bring this about immediately. I have got a Protestant clergyman who will perform the ceremony first, and then you can bo married at any time after ward in the Cathollo church, to make it valid on her side, for her father was a Catholic." This was enough for Julie. She un derstood tho situation fully now, and saw that her aunt would hesitate at noth ing. Tho poor child feared her beyond description,-and bad yielded to her in everything, savo this one purpose of her marriage with Hubert. Julio was a very gentle girl; one upon whom her aunt could impose with Im punity. Sho had no idea of assorting her rights, much less of standing up for them. But she was thoroughly fright ened now, and resolved to esoape at any cost from tho tyranny which bound her. No fate could bo worse, she thought, than to bo compelled to marry that coarse, vulgar and repulsive creature. The next day after Julie had beard this information was Sunday, tho gayest day of the week in Marseilles, and, for tunately, Julie succeeded in making her escape from her aunt's house. Still, undecided where to go, and in her des peration fearing that at any moment she might bo seized nnd canted back, she had wandered into the flower market, where she came upon us, already da scribed. As she explained to Harry afterward, she was intent only upon escape, and be lieved this to be her last chanoe. When shpsawa half dozen young Americans, who seemed perfectly respectable, the Idea that positive safety lay only in mar riage dawned upon her, and she actually ran toward us, as we have related, the moment the thought developed itself. Horry became more and more im pressed with Julio's story as they walked along, while ho was delighted by her innocent beauty and manifest refine-' mcnt. It was all like a dream, almost too romantlo for truth. Our "fata sometimes comes to us in this singular fashion, ho thought. "There Is a tide in tho affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." Suddenly no turnca taner ana said: "Daro you trust me with your happi ness?" Sho looked at him thouchtf ullv with her soft, pleading eyes. Bier brain was very busy; she remembered what await ed her at home, what had driven her thence, and then, In reply to his sober question, sho put both of her hands into his with childlike trust. They wandered on. Julie had always plenty of money in her purse, and they strolled into a little chapel on their way, wnera they found a young clergyman, who, could not resist their request to marry them, backed by ten golden Na poleons, and so, though reluotantly and advising proper delay, be performed the marriage ceremony, aided by the sexton and his wife, who each received a Na poleon. As an inducement, Harry had also told the clergyman that ho was just going to sea, and that he must be married before he sailed, that not even one hour was to be lost. "Perhaps lam saving the girl's honor." said tho young clergyman, as he finally consented. Julio camo out of the chapel the wife of Harry B., who went with her to the Hotel du Louvre. From hero he sentt a pressing note to the American consul, who came to him early the next morn ing, and by the earnest persuasion of Harry the consul agreed to take tha young wife to his own house until mat ters should, be settled as It regarded' their future course. In consul's house' Julia found a pleasant and safa retreat for tha time being. Whatever might be said with regard to tho propriety of the young folks' con duct, it could not be undone. They were Irrevocably united as husband and wife. Harry was forced, however, to resign his commission. By tho aid of the consul Julie's rights in relation to her fortune under her father s will wera fully re alized, and she came almost Immediately wttn her young husband to America. Harry B.. by means of nroner influ ence, once more entered toe navy, tha second time as lieutenant, and now wears a captain's epaulets. "L. M." in New York News.
