12 J-- THE -PITTSBUKG- DiLSPAICH. SATURDAY, ' ATTGrUSlV-29, 1891." TWO mm FBI THE STORY OFA GAME We were speaking in a club in Paris of the card sharper who had just been exe cuted, and each was relating his story; our friend Captain I alone said nothing. "Are you going-to be the only one who docs not furnish his share?" I asked him. "Do you really wishtit?" "Certainly!" "Very well, then. However, I warn you that my story is not in the least like yours, and that ray "thief is very interesting. " "Bo much the better! "We are listening, my dear fellow." Tho Captain lit a cigarette and leaned against the mantelpiece of the salon. "We drew np our chairs so as to hear better, with that curious avidity of men, who are, after all, only big children. Outside a gav 3ilay sun was shining through the half cloud shutters. IX "Six years ago," said the Captain, "I was commanding a garrison at a wearisome little town in a wearisome little department .Not a distraction; never a theater; scarcely an atrocious cafe concert "One day, my work beinc ended, I did not kscw wct to do, and little by little I had taken the habit of going every evening to the Union CluU, the only one whioh the village possessed. It was named thus be cause they were always disputing therj. Generally we played there a little, except during tie three large fairs of the year, which lasted each time about eight days. "One autumn afternoon, toward the com mencement of one of these fairs, I arrived at the club in rood time "There were many people in the club whom I did not know; rich farmers who only came rarely to the town, or squires from the country who came to advertise their houses. ' 'A good party to-day,' said an habitue to me; 'it will be curious.' I INSTANTLY SEIZED THE "I turned toward the table where they were plaving, and checked a gesture of sur prise. The tanker was quite a young man of about 22 or 23 years of age, whom I Knew by sight He interested me, for his father died very bravely at Magenta, and had left him a small fortune, and a name difficult to equal. He only came rarely to the club,and did not play. I was therefore very much astonished to see him holding a bank and a large bank, too, for the notes and coins were piled up before him. " 'How much each time?' asked some one. " 'Oh!' said a fat farmer, laughing, M. de Mertens has all the luck; he is able to hold an open bank.' "The young man was very pale; there was a kind of wildnes in his eyes. " "Open bank!' he stammered. 'This was a signal for his ill-luck. Ten times in succession the unfortunate Mertens lost In a quarter of an hour the bank had broken. "Another player took his place, and the play proceededso animated, so passionate, that I even allowed myself to be fascinated, and began to play with the others. "There was no more room round the table, and so I played standing, holding in my hand my hat, into which I nervously threw my gains, which grew larger and larger every minute. "The party was more impassioned than ever, when someone cried out to me: " 'Captain, you are being robbed!' "I turned round at once, and instantly seized a hand, the hand of M. de Mertens, which held a note for 1,000 francs, which he was taking from me. "The face of the unfortunate man was convulsed. "I exchanged a look with him, one only, and I saw something pass in his eyes, now enlarged by fright " 'M. de Mertens is quite right,' I said, quite coolly, 'and I am surprised that any one ha dared to bring such an accusation against such a man as he; we are associates, and he lias taken money for which he has nted, that is alL' "The explanations were brief. It was tho first time that the individual who cried out had come to tht club, and he was not ac quainted with M. de Mertens. The players, who were standing, were rather anxious"; the new comer had teen a hand slip in the hat, and, believing that someone was stealing irom me, had cried out He made profuse cpologies to M. de Mertens, whom all sym pathized with on the deplorable incident caused by the foolishness of the impolitic individual. "We then continued playing, and M. de Mertens went out. "Three days passed, and I received no news from the young man. That he was not wishful to sec me was quite natural. In savinghim I had saved the posthumous honor of a brave soldier; but still I thought it strange that he should not ij.c found some way ot testifying his appreciation of my service. "One evening I was just setting out to make some visits, when my orderly told me that a lady was waiting in the salon. She was a lady of about 45, a face calm and proud, with an honest look. "'lam Madam de Mertens,' she said. 'My son has told me all, and I have come to thank you for having kept unsullied the honor of our name' "'Madam!' " ' My son was foolishly enamoured of a w oman, who was always demanding money, nnd he has ruined himself for her ; he has played, he has lost You know the rest' "I was very sorry, for the trouble of this noble woman touched me deeply; she was standing before me, and the tears glistened in her dark eyes. '"A foUy of youth. Madam,' I stam m red 'I will see your son and talk to 111.!.' Slie quietlv shook her head. ' 'Yon will not see him, Captain; he is uigaged in the Infantry of Marines, and I cs:uc when he had departed.' " IIL "We had listened to Captain I with out interruption; when he stopped there was a short silence. "And the end, Captain? "What has come of M. de Merteus?" be- "lie is dead, gentlemen. A lew years ago I received a letter, which came from ICclung; a poor little letter, written with THE FRENCH pale ink. on paper already yellow. It con tained these lines: 'I am seriously wounded. . . . Ad miral Courbet has just brought me the cross. . . . But I am going to die. . . . I send it you, my poor cross, to you who saved me, and I shall be happy if vou will wear It' "That is the reason, gentlemen, that in place of fastening to my uniform the decoration which the Chancellor of the Le gion d'Honneur gave me, I carry the cross of the Sergeant of the Marine Infantry, who, after oeing caught as a thief, died at Kelung like a hero. " Albert Ddpti. . THE DOCTOR'S STORY. I once knew a woman, one of my patients, now dead, to whom the most extraordinary thing in the world happened, and the most mysterious and touching. She was a Russian, Countess Marie Bar anow, a very great lady of exquisite beauty. You know how beautiful the Russians are, or, at leastj how beautiful they seem to us with their delicate noses, their sensitive mouths: their eres so close together, of an indefinable color, a blue-gray; and their cold, rather hard, charm. They have some thing wicked and seductive, haughty and melting, tender and severe, utterly charm ing to a Frenchman. At bottom, perhaps, it is only the difference of race and blood that makes us see so much in them. Her doctor had, daring many ycaw, known that she was threatened by a dis ease of the chest, and endeavored to per suade her to come to France for the winter, but she obstinately refused to quit St Petersburg. At last, in the autumn of last year, the doctor compelled her to leave for iMcntone. She was alone in her compartment of the train, her servants occupying another. She leant against the window a little sadly, watching the country and the villages as she whirled past, feeling very isolated, very lonely in life. At each station her footman, Ivan, came to see if his mistress had everything she de- HAND WHICH HELD A NOTE. sired. He was an bid servant, blindly; de voted, ready to obey any order she might give him. Night fell, the train rolled on at full speed. She could not sleep, she was totally unnerved. Suddenly the idea occurred to her of counting the money given to her at the last moment in French gold. She opened her little bag and emptied onto her Ian the trlistenintr stream of metaL But, of a sudden, a breath of cold air caught her cheek. She lifted her head in surprise. The door opened. The Countess Marie, in dismay, threw a shawl over the money spread out in her lap, and waited. A moment afterward a man appeared, bare headed, wounded in one hand, panting and in evening dress. He reclosed the door, sat down and looked at his neighbor with a glittering eve, then wrapped his wrist in a handkerchief. The poor woman fell faint with fright This man must have seen her counting her money, and had come to kill her and steal it. He still fixed hisfgaze upon her, breath lessly, his face drawn, evidently waiting to spring upon her. He said brusquely: "Madam, have no fear." She answered nothing, she was incapable of opening her lips, she heard her heart beating and a buzzing in her ears. "I am no malefactor, madam," he con tinued. Still she said nothing; but in a sudden movement she made her knees knocked to gether and the money poured onto the car pet like water from a spout The man stared In surprise at this flow of gold, and at once stooped to gather it up. She, terrified, rose, casting all her gold onto the carpet, and rushed to the door to throw herself onto the line. But he per ceived her intention, sprang up, seized her in his arms, and forced her onto the seat, holding her by the wrists. "Listen to me, madam. I am no thief. Be Sprang Up and Seized Her. As a proof I am going to gather up this money and restore it to you. But I am a lost man, a dead man, unless you help me to pass the frontier. I can tell you no more. In one hour we shall be at the last Enssian station, in one hour and 20 minutes we shall bo on the other side of 'the boundaries of the empire. Unless you aid me, I am lost And yet, madam, I haye neither killed nor stolen, nor done anything dishonorable. That I swear to you. I can tell vou no more." ' And, going down on his knees, he col lected the money, feeling under the seats, and looking into the furthest corners. Then, when the little, leather bag was once more full, he handed it to his neighbor without a word, and returned to his seat in the other corner of the carriage. Neither moved. She sat motionless and mute, still faint with fright, but recovering little by little. As to him, he moved no muscle, he sat erect, his eyes fixedly look ing straight before him, very pale, as though he were dead. Every now and then she threw him a glace, which was quickly averted. He was a man of about 30, very handsome, with every appearance of being a gentleman. The train tore through the darkness, throwing its ear-piercing whistles into the night, now slackening speed, now off again at its fastest Then ft calmed its flight, whistled several times, and stopped alto gether. Ivan appeared at the door to take orders. The Countess Marie looked for the last time at her strange companion. Then in a, voice brnsque and trembling said to her servant: "Ivan, you will return to the Count I have no further need of your services." Amazed the man opened his enormous eyes. He stammered: "But but " She continued: "No, you need not come. I bare changed my mina. I wish you to stay in Russia. Here, here is money for the journey. Give me your cap and mantle." The old servant, bewildered, took off his cap and mantle, with unquestioning obedi ence, accustomed to the sudden whims and strange caprices of his mistress. He walked away with the tears in his eyes. The train started again, racing to the frontier. Then the Countess Marie said to her com panion: "These things are for yon, monsieur; you are Ivan, my servant. I make but one con dition: It is that you will neverspeak to me, that you will say no word to thank me on any pretext whatever." The stranger bow ed without a word. Soon a fresh halt was made, and the offi cials In uniform entered the train. The Countess handed them the papers, and pointing to the man seated in the far end of the carriage "Mv servant. Ivan: here is his passport" The train started again. During the whole of the night they re mained tete-a-tete, dumb both. In the morning, on stopping at a German station, the stranger alighted. Then, stand ing by the door, lie said: "Pardon me, madam, that I break my promise, but I have deprived you of your servant; it is only fair that I should replace him. Is there anything you require?" She replied coldly: "Go and send my maid." He went Then disappeared. "Whenever she alighted at a refreshment-room she saw him watching her from a distance. In due course they arrived at Mentone. IL One day, as I was receiving my patients in my study, I saw a tall man enter. "Doc tor," he said, "I come to ask news of the Countess Marie Baranow." "Shi is beyond hope," I replied. "She will never return to Russia." And this man fell to sobbing; then he arose, and went out staggering like a drunken man. That same evening I told the Countess that a stranger had been to me to ask after her health. She seemed touched, and told me the tale I have just told vou. She added: "This man, whom I do not know, follows me like my shadow. I meet him every time I go out He looks at me very strangely, but he has never spoken to me. She reflected, and then added: "Look! There he is, below my window!" She rose from her sofa, drew the curtains aside, and showed me the man who had called upon me, sitting on a bench on the promenade, his eyes raised to tho hotel. He saw us, rose and walked away without once turning his head. So it was that I took part in a strange and incomprehensi ble episode, in the love of these two be ings who were quite unknown to one an other. He loved with the devotion of a rescued animal, grateful and devoted until death. He came every day to ask me, "How is she?" knowing that I had guessed. And he wept bitterly when he had seen her pass, paler and weaker every day. She said to me: "I have spoken but once to this singular man, and it seems to me I have known him for years." And when they met she returned his bow with a grave nnd charming smile. I knew she was happy she so lonely and dying. I knew she was happy to be loved with such conBtancyand respect, with this exaggerated poesy, with this devotion ready for all hazards. And yet, faithful to her obstinate though high-minded resolve, she absolutely refused to receive him, to know his name, or to speak to him. She said, "No, no, that would spoil our strange friendship. "We must remain strangers to one another." As tp him, he was of a certainty a kind of Don Quixote, for he took no steps to ap proach her. He was determined to keep to the letter the absurd promise he had made to her in the train. Often during the long hours of weakness she rose from her sofa to draw back the cur tains, and look if he were there below the window. And when she had seen him, al ways immovably seated on his bench, she returned to her couch with a smile on her lips. She died one morning about 6 o'clock. As I left the hotel he came to me, his face distorted; he had already heard the news. "I should like to see her for a second in your presence," said he, I took his arm and re-entered the house. "When he was by the bedside of the dead he took her hand and kissed it, a long, long kiss. Then he fled like a madman. Ouy de Maupassant.

Some Rich Thoughts From Carlyle Bearing on the Lesson FOR STUDY IN SUNDAY SCHOOLS.. Topics That Will Be Discussed in Our Pulpits To-Morrw. GLEANINGS FEOM CHURCH FIELDS The international Sunday school lesson for to-morrow's study is taken from the latter part of .the seventh chapter of St. John's gospel. The lesson develops the fact that the plain people were ready to ao cept Christ, but the leaders who saw their occupation gone by the success of the Prophet of Nazareth, took the other course which, led ultimately to the Crucifixion. Carlyle, in his "Latter Day Pamphlets," has this to say of the rejection of Christ by the Hebrews: "A certain people, once upon a time, clamorously voted by over whelming majority. Not he, Barabbas, not lie!. Him, and what he is and what he deserves we know him well enough; a reviler of the chief priests and sacred chancery wigs; a seditious heretic, physical free chartist, and an enemy of his oountry and manKind; to tne gallows anoi tne cross with him! Barabbas is our man; Barabbas, we are for'Barabbas! They got Barabbas: have you well considered what a fund of purblind obduracy, oi opaque flunkeyism grown truculent and transcendant; what an eye for for phylacteries, and want of eye for tne eternal noblesse sordid loyalty to the prosperous semblances, and high treason against the supreme fact such a vote beto kens in these natures? A singular people, who could both produce such divine men and then could so stone and crucify them; a people terrible from the beginning! "Well, tliev trot Barabbas: and thev cot. of course. such guidauce as Barabbas and the like of mm could give them; and, oi course, tney stumbled ever downward and devilwards in their truculent and stiff-necked way.

BIG COFFEE CROPS IN THE WEST INDIES AND SOUTH AMERICA. Tho Brazilian Outpnt Will Be Above the Average Lower Prices W1U Probably Result From the Immense Harvest An Effort to Retain Ruling Rates. SPECIAL TELXORAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. New Yoek, Aug. 28. It is learned from well-informed sources that a break in prices for all kinds of coffee is not far distant, and indeed, may be said to be almost imminent. The statistics regularly furnished by the New York Coffee Exchange are misleading, inasmuch as they refer only to the Brazilian coffees, and omit entirely the enormous stocks of Central and outh American growth, and those also of Java, Sumatra the Phillipine and the West India Islands. This season the crop in Brazil is above the average slightly much in excess of 1889 1890, while those of Guatemala, Salva dor, Venezuela, Mexico and the West Indies exceed even the phenomenal crops of last year. The enormous accumulation of stock of these "wild" coffees, as they are termed bv the trade, and the very large weekly arrivals "which have kept up with out intermission for the'past five months, will eventually break down the prices now ruling for Rio-and Santos. The Dutch Government, aided by the Netherlands Trading Company and" other private growers, is trying to maintain rul ing rates for Brazilian coffee the price for that having become iu some way the unit of value by reducing, on the part of the Gov ernment, the quantity ofiered by them at the regular Government sales at Rotterdam, and tne independent growers are falling into line by reducing their offerings, through their regular brokers. In the meantime, cautious jobbers are re stricting their purchases to actual needs, and are speculating as to how nearly future prices will approximate the very low fig ures ruling from 1880 to 1883, which, with one exception in the early sixties, were the lowest ever known in this country. During the' period noted fair Rio cargoes sold at 6($Gy cents per pound on a visible supply of about 500,000 bags. The present visible supply is very little below this, while the stock of Central and South American growths is unparalleled. It is said that the .recent rumor affecting the solvency of a well-known bank which i and has been largely interested in coffee speculation, arose from the extremely criti cal condition of the . market, produced by the causes above noted.

Kennedy, caterer, of 2fo. 2 Sixth street, is called upon to attend is perhaps the best proof of nis increasing popularity. Ken nedy's service is excellent, and people who wish to have something really line never think of going to any other place, as they know that the very name "Kennedy" as sures their guests that a rare feast is await ing them, and this more than anything else adds to their fame as entertainers.

The summer is the best time for the treat ment and cure ot catarrhal troubles. The climatic conditions are then most favorable, liability- o catching fresh cold being then reduced to the minimum, and the even tem-. perature and the condition of the atmos- Shere favoring the progress of the patient irs. Copeland and Hall have decided to treat all patients, old and new, applying to them for treatment before September 1 at the merely nominal rate of f 5 a month, fur nishing all medicines. This applies to pa tients by mail as well as patients in the city. It is to all patients, old as well as new, and for all diseases. All patients taking treat ment from Drs. Copeland and Hall before oeptemuer l will be treated until cured at the rate of ?5 a month. It should take from two to four montho of regular treatment to cure catarrh, commenc- iug at a luvoraoie season ot tne year, ira tients troubled with catarrh taking treat ment under the above conditions who are not cured in that length of time will be TREATED THEREAFTER FREE until they are cured. TACTS WORTH KNOWING. A Grateful Patient Speaks Highly of the Treatment Received From Drs. Cope land & Halt "I cannot say too much in praise of Drs. Copeland & Hall," said Kr. Lawrence Lyons, of Cass avenue, Ninth ward, Alle gheny. "Their work in my case is remark able.'' "I had had catarrh for at least three years," continued Mr, Lyons. "My head uu nusewere constantly stopped up. 1 had a dull pain in my forehead. Jly eyes were weak and watery. There were ringing noises in my ears. Mr. Lawrence Lyons, Cass avenue. "I was constantly hawking and raising large quantities oi mucus. I had no appe tite: my food distressed me. My rest was broken and I felt tired and languid in the morning. I had a bad cough; sharp pains would shoot through my chest. "This was my condition when I went to Drs. Copeland & Hall. Now my appetite is good; my head and throat are clear. In fact every symptom of my trouble has left me, and I feel as well as I ever was in my life." ' STILL ANOTHER INSTANCE Of the Notable Work Beinc Performed by Drs. Copeland and Hall Mr. Walker's Statement Another instance ofthe remarkable work, being performed by Drs. Copeland and Hall in this city, is thiB week added in the case of Mr. James Walker, of No. 129 Erin street. "I had a constant headache. At first it was only a dull pain over my eyes, but soon it became very severe, and at times I thought my head would burst. "My nose was always stopped up. I had ringing noises in my ears, and my eyes were weak. Mr. James Walker, Its Erin Street. "I could feel the mucus dropping back in my throat and was constantly hawking and raising. I had no appetite! I could not sleep. When I would lie down the mu cus gathered in my throat and caused a smothering sensation. I arose in the morn ing feeling tired and unfit for work. ' I had sharp pains in my chest. My heart would beat rapidly. After eating there was a distressing lecling in my stomach. Rheu matism was added to my other troubles and I was Indeed In a very serious condition. "I called on Drs. Copeland & Hall and be gan treatment. I begun to Improve at once. My headaches ceased. Tho dropping in my throat no longer bothered me. I eat and sleop well, and, to be brief, feel better than I have for years." Their Credentials. As has been said, Dr. W. H. Copeland was president of his class at Bellevuo Hospital Medical College, New York, where he grad uated, tho most famous Institution of Its kind in the country. His diploma bears tho written indorsement of the medical authori ties of New York, of the deans of prominent medical colleges In Pennsylvania. Dr. Hall's credentials are no less abundant and unqualified. He also is formally indorsed by the secretaries of various county and State medical societies. Both gentlemen, after thorough hospital experience and practice, have- devoted their lives to tho practice of their specialties, with what suc cess tne columns oi tne aaiiy papers snow. In addition to the high medical authorities quoted abovo may be mentioned a Pittsburg medical authority, which is by no means to bo depreciated. The diplomas of both gen tlemen bear the formal written indorsement of tho Western Pennsylvania Medical Col lege of Pittsb urg. Drs.
