THE CIPHER.
During my sojourn In Dijon, I was on
intimate terms with on eccentric indi
vidual named Kustaclio Loriot, a man of
eomo forty years of ago, fresh, ruddy,
fair complcxioticd, rather stout, of me
dium height, a largo head, witli forehead
unduly prominent, Soeratio noso nnd
china bluo eyes.
Ho was a deputy judgo of tho tribunal,
but Ilia duties leaving him considerable
lcisuro, and being possessed of nn inde
pendent fortuno, ho had early abandoned
himself to a passion for brio-a-brac. His
collection comprised a littlo of every
thing raro books, medals, old china.
Ho was, moreover, a member of an nn
tiquarian society, to which ho addressed
enthusiastic and prolix memoirs on qach
of his discoveries.
Liko many collectors, ho displayed a
childish simplicity and credulity on tho
subject of his antiquities. Apropos of a
fragment of china or a pieco of old iron,
hia imagination suggested to him mar
velous histories, which ho ended by be
lieving in as firmly as in tho articles of
faith.
Ho had found, for example, in a sec
ond hand shop, a shapeless mask of
forged iron, pierced with thrco holes for
tho oyes and mouth, and ho was per
fectly convinced that ho possessed the.
Identical iron lnask that had served to
conceal the features of tho mysterious
prisoner of Saint Marguerite and the
Bastile. Ho had very nearly quarreled
with mo for venturing to insinuate,
mildly, that according to authentio ac
counts tho famous iron" mask was of
black velvet, and that, moreover, Jiad it
been of iron, it was not likely that in
tho Seventeenth century that epoch of
skilled workmanship there would not
have been found for a prisoner of im
portance something less heavy and less
uncomfortable than this lump of iron.
Although married, Eustacho Loriot
was childless. His wife was a pretty
brunetto Of 23 years, well made, lively,
with a pair of dangerous dark eyes, and
a-liglilown on tho upper. Up.
Elegant, pleasure loving, sho found life
extremely dull in the silent liouso in the
Quartier des Grangettes, where her hus
tfand accumulated his treasures, and
whero no visitors wero received except
ing a few old antiquarians and a young
lawyer, a friond of Loriot's, and, like
hlpi, nn amateur in raro books. This
celebrated advocate, Frederic Simonnet
by name, was not more than 80 years of
ago, and passed for tho head, of the
Dijon bar.
Ho often camo to borrow from Loriot's
library, nnd tho ovening on which I liad
tho pleasure of making his acquaintance
ho had just brought back a fine copy of
"uapunts ana (jnioo, bound in red
morocco.
"Seo," said Loriot, proudly, handing
tho book to me, "hero is a raro book
hat came from tho library of M. des
Armolses, a gentleman of Lorraine, who
was imprisoned during the Terror, con
demned to death, and whoso mistress, a
laundress, aided him to cscapo on tho
morning of tho day fixed for his execu
tion. I secured this book' for almost
nothing at tho salo of tho effects of tho
daughter of tho very woman who saved
Des Armoises."
I took tho hook, and while turning the
leaves remarked a singular circumstance
Hero and thero, from pago to page, whole
lines werb underscored with minute dots
or hyphens, somo in red ink, others in
yellow ink, nnd having tho appearance
of ago.
"Ah, this is curious," I murmured!
"have you noticed this peculiarity in
your copy?" I asked of Loriot, sliowing
him tho marked pages. At tho same
time, I raised my head and was struck
by tho uneasy, troubled expression of
tho lawyer's countenance. I turned to
ward Mmo. Loriot and was astonished
to seo her pretty faco reflect, as in a
mirror, tho confusion in Frederic Simon
net's. Loriot had perceived nothing. His
near sighted eyes fixed on tho volume,
ho was turning tho pages, murmuring:
"Yes, it is very strange, and what is
strangest of all is that it had escaped me
until now. And you, Simonnet, had you
remarked it?"
"I? No," responded the lawyer, red
dening slightly; "I attached no import
ance to it."
During this timo. tho young wife had
not uttered a word, but was bending over
tho fire, stirring it nervously.
"No importance," cried Loriot, firing
upj "for my part I think thero is an his
torical enigma thero, a mysterious Ian
guago to which I shall discover the key
you shall see, you shall seel" ,
And he rubbed his hands. '
Somo eight days after I met Loriot,
and, with characteristic impetuosity, he
seized me'by the arm.
, "My friend," lie said, "I nm on the
track, and beforo long I shall discover
tho koyt Hero is what I have found so
far" (at tho same timo drawing tho copy
of "Daphnis and Chloe" from his pocket),
"In tho first placo," he continued, in
opening tho volumo, "notice that the
dots nro always in yellow 'ink and tho
hyphens always in red ink. They seem
to answer each other. Now, it is ovident
to mo that Des Armoises kept this book
in his prison, and his ' mistress, visiting
him there, sometimes, took away and
sometimes returned the volume, so that
with tho aid of a cipher tho two lovers
used it as a means of correspondence.
Ha! is not that fin ingenious explanation?
Only I havo not yet discovered tho key
to tho cipher, but with patience shall
find itl"
"Will you lend mo the book for a cou
plo of days?" I responded. "I havo stud
ied cipher lauguago a littlo and might he
able to help you."
He consented, nnd I took tho book
home with me. It did not require any
Live and Let Live."
long study to discover tno uoy, tor mo
cipher used by tho two correspondents
was of tho simplest. They had mado uso
of tho characters in tho text, retaining
their ordinary valtto, and it sufficed to
placo tho marked lettcrs sldo by side to
reconstruct tho sentences.
Tho first that I deciphered was this:
"Ho goes to tho tribunal to-juorrow at
2 o'clock. Comoi wo nhall not bo dis
turbed." To which tho hyphens in red ink ro
8xndeJt , nIti3 understood, darling. At 2 o'clock.
A thousand kisses."
I was highly edified, and if my hypoth
osis did not exactly coincido with Lori
ot's it was nono the less most interesting.
Tho next day I called at tho judgo's at
an hour when I felt certain of meeting
his wife. I found her alone, beforo a
hlnzlng fire, and Eustacho Loriot was nt
work in his library.
I havo discovered," I said in a low
voico to Mmo. Loriot, "tho koy to the
famous cipher correspondence."
Sho never moved n musclo.
"Ah," sho murmured, glancing sharp
ly lit me, "let mo seo thiB book!"
I handed it to her, nnd immediately,
with a. rapid movement, sho throw it
injo tho fire.
"Hushl" sho continued, with an Im
perious gesture; "you aro a gallant man,
monsieur; let this go no further."
And while I, stupefied, watched
"Daphnis and Chloo" smolder, bIio stir
red tho llro with tho tongs.
'lien tho hapless book was reduced to
aii incandescent mass, sho gavo a cry:
lAli. won Dieu, what a misfortunel
What will Eustacho say?"
At this exclamation, Loriot came Tun
ing out.
"What has happened?"
"Such a misfortune, my dear. Mon
sieur inadvertently placed tho 'Daphnis
and Chloo' on tho arm of my chair, and
Ijnust havo mado n false movement and
tho volumo fell into tho grate. As we
were conversing with our' backs to tho
fireplace, wo did not percelvo it until too
late.".
Eustacho seized tho tongs In consterna
tion, pulled out tho burning book, nnd
nulied to plungoit into a basin of water.
Dut it was of no uso. When taken out
of jtsbath nothing remained of "Daphnis
and Chloo" but n heap of charred cinders.
"What n disaster!" lamented Loriot;
"it is not so much a raro book that I re
gret, but thero aro tho documentary ma
terials that tho fire has devoured I re
peat it, thero was an enigma thero of the
highest iuterest and just as I was about
to discover tho key I" Translated for The

Chawing Gum ltetlred Her.
The young ladie3 who delight in the
felicities of chewing gum, and keep their
pretty littlo jaws at work from morning
until night in masticating what they can

A Iow Cost Dress.
Today I met a lady friend who is able
to buy tho handsomest dresses in New
York, and I saw that sho woro a neat
and ladyliko gown of dark gray flannel
cloth, trimmed with black braid, and
mado in a neat and eimplo but very tak
ing style. I fell in lovo with tho dress,
and bIio told mo that sho had made it
herself, and that braid, buttons and ma
terial had cost her just 2.00, and sho
enumerated tho articles and I found it
so. Thero aro dozens of fall materials

Making Ills Meaning Clear.
Tlio Wabash train was ncaring Mexico,
illo., recently, and the conductor, a quiet
littlo man with a dumpy llfruro, was col
lecting tho tickets. Ho passed Tlio Man
About Town, and stopped, nt.n seal
which was evidently occupied by a very
diminutlvo nnd sickly looking person
Tlio man was sitting with his neck rest
ing on tho back of his scat, nnd his feel
wero concealed beneath tho seatrin front
of him, so that ho appeared to bo of boy
ish stature. Tlio conductor tapped him
on tho shoulder, but as tho passengci
6imply growled, ho asked in a quiet way,
"Your ticket, please?"
"Wat's that you say?" inquired tlu
passenger In a muflled tone.
"Your ticket, please," repeated tin
conductor.
"I hain't got any," replied tho sleepy
traveler.
"Well, pay your fare," demanded the
conductor, impatiently.
"I won't do nothing o' Uie kind."
Tho conductor was mad by this time,
thero was uo doubt about it. His face
turned livid, and slapping tho man on
tho shoulder, he said angrily: "If you
don t pay your faro I'll slap you over."
Tho chaugo in tho passenger was more
surprising. Ho suddenly nwoko, and,
drawing his foot from under tho scat,
aroso and stood besido Jho - conductor,
displaying a raw Ixnicd frame about six
feet thrco inches in height. Drawing
his slouch hat over Ids oyes, ho glanced
down at tho frightened conductor and
asked in a wheezing tone, "What wat
