and called for a glaaa of lemonade,
At once tbe room awega. The barkeejwr
reuard himself, seised a glaaa, and with a aide
glance at tbe two men at tbe table began car
rying out the order given blm. lie did net
beaten. Tbe bulldog rose, stretched himself,
and tben went ever and examined tha etnuv
ger'a leg, Tba two listless men glanced In
telligently at tba barkeeper and whispered
together. In a minute they bad reaetved
upon something The tenor of tnelr reason
ing msy be put In tbla way : Tba stranger
was no city man ; be could be no frequenter
of the levee, else be would never call ler lem
euade : ba waa net aware that be bad strayed
Inte one of tbe worst den In tbe city ; be
waa probably one of tba visiting school
teachers ; be must bave a little money ; It
would be eaay te provoke a row Wltb blm,
slug and rob blm. Tbla waa probably tbe
way they argued, though In different terrea.
The two men roe, walked te the bar
together, and leaned up against It, one en
either aide el tba visitor.
Tbe atranger aald net a word. He seemed
te be Interested only In tbe slew mixture el
lemonade. Una of tbe men atutnbled by ap
parent accident and rail against tbe man In
tba linen ulster, ahevlng blm agalnat tbe ruf
fian en the ether aide. Tbe latter leaped
back, reared out that tbeatranger had shoved
blm purposely, and that be would have bleed
for Ik He atruck at tbe intruder, and at the
aama moment hla pal en tbe ether aide
reached back hla band te draw a "lite pre
eerver" ler Immediate use. Tbe barkeeper
grinned.
It waa Just at tbla Juncture that tbe de
meanor of the atranger became perplexing.
He ellpped aalda from the blew with tha
silent agility of a cat. He steed then for an
Instant, looking at tbe two men and the bar
keeper with an expression en bis brown face
wblcb waa a mixture of mild surprise, sub
dued ferocity, and complete satisfaction. He
uttered only the words, "Well, I'll be
d 1" Tben be strolled ever Je Uie deer,
locked It gently, and dropped tba key Inte
of tba ulster's capacious peckata. Tben be
took the Ulster ett and laid it upon a chair.
The tbuga atoed perplexed.
Tbere waa no particular ostentation about
tbe way In which tbe atranger leek oil bla
coat. He performed tha act deliberately,
and did net at tbe time aeem te be aware that
tbere was any ena alae In tbe room. Wben
be bad removed tba garment be folded It
and laid II very earelully upon a chair. He
new atoed revealed.
Tba only garments which remained upon
the etraeger were a pilr of trousers and a
sleeveleaa knit ablrt. Hla neck, brown aa bis
face, waa tbe neck of a bull ; It was a pillar
with great cerda laced upon ll surface. Hla
chest waa tbe cheat el a bull bread nnd
deep. Hla arma were hla meat striking

than allk can be manufactured. Abeuttbem.
underneath this all ken covering were twined
great cables of muscles. The bleent swelled
up like bunches of celled wlra They were
prodigious arma. The atranger stretched
ihem nut and drew them In aualn in a sort el
stretching, Idle, experimental way, and theu
iniMil in in the centre el tbe room and made
a lew remarks Wbat be aald was as fellows :
"Made a balk, didn't ye, culllesT Toek
me for a gray, cex I didn't wear atere tog teg

teller out at tbe Stock Yards. I've been ex

stuff cer. I'm In training for the tight. You'd
be tbere at the right et yer was well enough,
but yer won't be well enough."
"The caller made no ether remark. Tbe
tbuga tried te get out of a back deer, but be
waa in tbelr way myatarleutly. The one
wltb tba " lire preserver" tried te draw it
aJd lay down fainting with a body blew.
Tbe ether man received en tbe prominent
part or tbe Jaw bone, close te the ear, what, aa
tba man who gave It te blm remarked,
would "put nlie 10 aieep," ana wnai uiu
really produce tba effect prophesied. Tben
tbe caller bad a pleasant little cbat wltb tbe
barkeeper, ue aeizea mm uy mu ubek ui me

him, cenudentlally, a let of information
about his ancestry. Wltb great care be aub
aeuuently gathered him up, and threw blm
ever tbe bar among tbe belt lea. Tnen be
kicked tbe bulldog seresa the room. Tben
he put en bla coal, earelully unlocked tbe
innr. and wandered out Inte the street.
The barkeeper and tbe deg were tbe II rat te
recover. Tbe deg whined and crawled
under tbe table again. Tba barkeeper get up,
mtihaii himself, took a drink of brandy, and
went ever and gave some of tbe aatne liquor
te tbe alewly reviving thugs. They climbed

change In tba Insurance lese bave been sub
stanually tbe eeiue a In tbe property Ieta,
being each year between 00 and 00 per cent,
and averaging U) per cent, ler the 10 yeara.
A closer view or the Incendiary phase of
the fire queaUen reveals several luipertaat
facta. Of tha tll,r.'i7,:j.!l destroyed by in
cendlarlMW fl per cant only wai Insured,
wblcb Is e pur coot leas than the average In
surance en all property destroyed by all
ctueea, known and unknown, during tbe
east 10 years. This fact baa an Important
liearlng en Iba assertion frequently beard
that Insurance furnlabeathechlel motive ler
Incendiarism. Anetber tact bearing 011 tbla
point Is that in a aeries or yeara thu percent
ages of Inoendlarlaui.de net materially vary.
Of all Urea el stated origin In New Kugland
In Is;, about 31 per cent, were incendiary ;
In tbe Mlddle aiates the ratio of Inceudlsrlsm
waa'ij percent ; in thu Western states 3 i per
cent, and In the Heutbern states Al per cent
Tbe average for the United Htatee, aa already
stated was, in lHfCl, about 20 per cent, but
while tbla Is tbe mean ratio It is interesting
te note that tbe amount of Incendiary hazard
In dlllerentrlaka varies greatly. An analysis
of 17.MI Urea during the past three years, the
cause of wblcb bave been apeciilcally re
ported, en 15 different claases of property,
show that tbe ireentage of Incendiarism
varies from :M per cent ea tobacco barns
te 11 J per cunt. 011 dwelling. If
new It Is true that Insurauce la a
motive te Ineeudlarlam, one would find
tbat tbe percentage of uninsured less runs
down aa tbe ratio of Incendiarism runa up
Tbla deea net appear te be tbe case; en the
contrary, nearly all claaaea of property dla
tlngulabed for lutense luceudiarisui such as
tobacco barns, country stores, livery stables,
cotton gin houses, lumber yards and general
warehouse, show Isrge property losses In
excess of tua amounts of insurance paid.
Frem tbla It may be fairly lulerred tbat
property having a high moral hazard la
prsuy generally known and avoided by tbe
Insurance cemiauiles.
Next te Incendiarism the defective due Is
tbe known cause el the largest number el
Urea. One thousand and lour liree resulted
from thia cauxe In IN"!, wblcb I about 13
per cent of these wbeae origin is known and

Thla Instrument waa signed by Justin

te be bla laat will and testament In tbe

Dear Hlr : It la my painful duty te an
nounce te ynu tbe deatb of your nephew,
Mr. Carl Ferd, which occurred today (Dec.
4), at his late residence In Ilroeklyn.
Respectfully, Ai.mn Dai.k.
It was only wben Mr. Neil had adjusted
bis spectacles and re-read tbe a bine note that
heresllzedtbefull Impert of the communi
cation. December fourth, " be repeated
musingly ; " a remarkable coincidence, the
two deaths occurring upon tbe same day;
and new will arise the question of priority.
Yet I fsney It one eailly answered, " he con
tlnued, as replacing the letter In Ita en
velnpe be seated himself at bis desk and pro
ceeded te make tbe necessary inquiry: At
wbat hour had occurred the death of the late
Mr. FnrdT Te which In due course e! mall
came tbe following reply :
"Tbat tbe exact time of the demise wis
somewhat uncertain, the phyatcau'a note
book (tbe pbys'clan himself having sailed
for Kurepe) testifying tbat It had occurred at
I o'clock p. m.; while tbe curre of tbe de
ceased con tldently placed It at 0 o'clock or
thereabout " .....
Tbe death of tbe late Justin Ashley, it was
positively stated, had taken place at precise
ly half-past live; and It was obviously ne
cessary te prove beyond a question tbe prier
ity of demise In the two cases, In order te
rightfully carry out the instructions regard
ing tbe will.
The late Carl Ferd, who was a widower,
bad left one son, who was naturally desirous
of proving bis lather a survler of tbe late
Justin Ashley, In wblcb event one
ball of tbe vast property In question would
revert te blm ; wbtle Hareld Ashley, en the
ether band, waa quite as desirous of proving
i.b wavAr rlii..h wniilil ftiAkn him sole
balr te tbe deceased uncle. And the all-1 in- I
rmrtant result depended upon n question 01 I
time.
Disliking all unnecessary litigation, Mr.
Nell, tbe executer, sought te learn tbe truth
and bave the matter quietly settled without
tbe labor and expense or a lawsuit. But tbe
two claimants, Hareld Ashley and Carlten
Ferd, would only be satisfied wltb an appeal
te tbe courts of Justice ; and tbe case waa set
for hearing en tne second day of February,
IMI, Carlten tjnrd b leg inclined, even
should priority of his lather's death be
proved, te contest the will ou plea or ita in
justice. ..... ...
Much Interest wsh manifested by tbe
friends of these Involved, as well aa by the
legal fraternity, te whom the case If net new,
was at least uucommen ; and tbe court-room
waa tilled with an eager and expectant
throng en the day appointed ler the trial.
Tbe case belngcalled, a jury was Impaneled
and the facta presented by counsel for tbe
plaintiff, followed by a like presentation for
the delense, alter which the wltnttsts weru
summoned lu order.
The llrst evldenci for the plaintiff waa
given by Alvin Dale, nurse te the late Carl
Ferd, who teatllled that after having been
dismissed by the iitiyalelan In attendance, he
waa passing through the hall aa the clock
struck live, and distinctly mv through tbe
slightly open deer of Mr. Ferd's room the

the physician had ateppsd away from tb

At tbla point in the proceeding tbe ex

The ltttle tetterlsg baby feet,
Vi lib faltering step and slew,
Wltb pattering echoes selt and sweet
lntu my heart they go 1
Tluy also go. In grimy plays,
lu muddy peels ami duaty ways,
1 ben through lha house lu truckful ways,
They wander te aud fro.
'1 he buliy bauds that claap my neck
With touches dxar te me.
Are the same bauds tbat smash aud wreck,
Ihu Inkstand foul te seu 1
They pound the mirror with a cane,
1 hey retd the manuscript In twalu,
Widespread destruction they ordain
lu wasteful juuuee.
Tbe dreamy murm'ring baby voles
1 bav coos Its little tune,
That makes my listening heart rejolep
Like birds In leafy J une,
Can wake at midnight dark and still,
And all the air wltb howling fill,
1 hat splits the ear with echoes shrill,
Like cornets out of tune.
