SECRET 01' AX OLD DESK
After That, Christopher Schuyler, the
lacctlnus Young Benedict, Concluded
It Wus Host Not to Malt Fun
of the I'cmlnino Trait.
From the SprliiKfield Republican.
The study door opened softly. Chris
topher Schuyler finished the senteneehe
was wrltlntf, uud then looked up.
The dimpled, rosy and altogether wel
come face of his bride of a week con
fronted him.
You suld you would be ready In hulf
an hour," said she, reproachfully, "and
it's more than an hour."
Dimples and roBes then betook them
selves outside the door once more, und
Mr. Schuyler, suddenly remembering
thut he hud promised lo drive with his
wile thut afternoon, wiped his pin on
Hie wiper which nature provides all
but bald-headed men, turned his manu
script face down, slummed a paper
weight upon it, und rushed hustily uf
ter the departed one, shouting:
"All right, darling; soon as 1 find my
hat!"
"1 propose not to have a hut tree In
every room In this house," observed the
young lady, while .Mr. Schuyler was
frantically Instituting tin unavailing
search for some kind, any kind of head
gear. She then contemptuously bent
one finger at a bust of Schopenhauer,
and Schuyler, with an exclamation of
relief, captured from the philosopher a
soft felt hat and adorned his own head
with It without much loss of time.
Hut ' does any one suppose that tho
preparations were over?
"Hutton my glove," ordered the head
of the family, and her husbund obeyed.
"Oh. my veil! Chris, dear, Its on the
dressing case," and Chris, dear, went
upstairs two steps at a time after it.
"Hut thut isn't the right one Chris!
Would you have me wear a terra cotta
veil with a Nile green hat? Heavens!"
The catastrophe averted, there was
still a parasol to subdue, a wandering
ribbon to reduce to order, and curls
ii bout, nbove and around her ears to ar
range In a more orderly, but not less
coquettish munner.
"You hour the whispered words she hears,
Yon Utile ringlets round her ears."
chanted her bond slave, and lifted his
mistress to her seat In the carriage, be
stowing a hug and receiving a pinch on
the way.
"Where shall we go, sweetest?" said
he.
"rectus go where you have often prom
ised to drive nie, but never did, faith
less man," she answered. "To the an
cestral halls of the Schuylers."
"As you like, but I warn you, Wini
fred, they are now the ancestral halls
of the Murphys, Stillivans, O'Tooles and
'Briens. The Schuylers haven't lived
there for fifty years, for when the mills
were built In Schuylertown the hands
took possession of all the waste land
anywhere about, and ended by swarm
ing Into the mansion itself."
".No mutter, 1 want to go there, Just
the same. And on the way you enn tell
me all the legends connected with the
old house. Didn't you say it was 200
years old?"
"Or thereabouts." said he, declining
to commit himself.
"Wasn't there ever a murder or buI
cide or something equally shocking in
it? Come, freeze my young blood at
niice with the most unpleasant tradi
tion you can think of! Wasn't there a
bloody crime, and somebody hanged?"
"No Schuyler was ever hanged that I
know of," Hald Christopher, "but doubt
less, there are many, even now, who
richly deserve It. Concerning legends,
1 Can toll VOU llhollt llllliphlfr nmnnvlu
If you like."
"Dancing Damarls!' how delicious!"
"And about old Syrena Schuyler, who
was a witch In the days when witches
were fashionable."
"Ah, my blood is already commenc
ing to congeal," said Winifred, comfort
ably settling back.
"Old Syrena lived and died in the
house where we are going. She must
have been an uncomfortable person by
all accounts. Her neighbors each side
of her had to give up tying their cat
tle in the stulls. because by her magic
power they became unloosed as fust
as the farmers tied them. Once she
was far away from home and found it
needful to return to get a piece of
cloth t-he had left behind her. She
retraced her steps and was gone only a
few minutes, bringing the cloth. An-
alter time some boys near the Schuy
ler house treed a squirrel, the largeiit
they had ever seen. They shot at It
a number of times, but failed to hit It
Finally they left It and were going
away, when It ran down out of the
tree and turned into a large striped cat.
The cut ran before them and they be-
ssuii to pelt it with stones, but the
s'oiies iimde no more impression on
the Oat than they did on the squirrel,
'i ne cat ran through a closed window
into the Schuyler house, and inimedl
i'.t -lv after old Syrena looked out of the
window at the boys, who took to their
'eels w'th great unanimity. The the
ory 1b, of course, that Syrena took the
lorm or both squirrel and cat.
."Dear old Syrena!" murmured Wlnl
fred.
"But that isn't all about Syrena. She
might have lived In ease and comfort,
but she -wouldn't. She owned farms
( and let them, but. never would collect
Iter rents or any other bills, and when
people called to pay her, she would
not let them Into the house, or she would
throw the money out of the door. Of
course she lived ukme; witches al
ways do, you know, except for cats"-
"And squirrels," amended Winifred,
"And a person going to see her one
cold day found her starved, frozen and
dying. The neighbors came to care for
her, and she died that night, but in
the midst of a terrible racket. Loud
voices und footsteps were heard, shouts
in the woods near by and echoeH of
horses galloping, and in the house
dishes rattled, bells rang, the tongs
and poker conversed, und whispers,
mysterious rattling und rustlings con

her grave, where she has peacefully

"And doesn't her ghost appear,

"Never did, I believe. That was re

"Oh! lellghtful! Now tell me all
about Dancing Damarls."

when Illustrious guests were assembled
on her way to the well for Dancing

my respected ancestor, Madam Scliuy

great satisfaction if Dnmaris should

This accident really occurred, the ac
tive little mulatto being discovered
juid in the water within twenty-four
hems n'ter Madam Schuyler had thuB
relieved her mind. It wasn't good-by
to Damans, however. Soon the ser
vents began to make complaints among
themselves, and it coming to the ears
of the mistress, she summoned them to
her In a body, and by strict question
lug heard some strange stories. Da
marls still danced about the well
nights and the living feared to go for
water. Some had seen her dancing
along the ridge-pole of the house:others
had not seen her. but had heard her
fumlllur double shuffle rapping over the
oaken floor, and her loud, rapid giggle
night after night.
"Those who saw her said she was a
most unpleasant person to meet sud
denly on a dark night, especially If
one's conscience wasn't quite easy
Her garments dripped, her eyes gog
gled and Tolled, her complexion was
ashy purple, and her incessant dancing
was accompanied by threatening and
beckoning gestures. Mme. '.Schuyler
said she didn't believe a word of it, but
nevertheless she took to burning night
lights and had a servant sleep in her
room. One day Bhe took a water pitcher
and went to the well herself and was
not seen to return, and when search
was made the old lady was found at
the bottom of ' the well. When the

heard by the workers, und, of course,
It was said that she had pushed her
mistress Into the well. For muny years
it was rumored that the mulatto's light
1'autaslio toe haunted the well, and a
little later Schuyler dug a new well and
tilled up the old one, to destroy the
superstition of Dancing Damuris."
"That was most unkind, I'm sure,
when we meet with so few really relia
ble haunted places," breathed Winifred
regretfully.
"And here is the house." said Christo
pher, drawing rein suddenly.
It had Indeed been u fair mansion
of yore. It was large. It was lofty,
many-windowed, and with ample wings
extending to the sides and rear. The
front entrance was still Imposing, for
the great door swinging open to admit
its many occupants, showed a deep hall
with oaken beams and a wide and wind
ing staircase with hollow steps, which
once trod by belles and beaux in the
oldeti time now re-echoed to the heavy
tread of the weary mill hand or his
hard-working wife. At this time of
day the place swarmed with children,
some of whom bloomed with a beauty
not exceeded by any Schuyler of them
all.
"Will you get out and go through the
house?" asked Christopher.
"X no, I think not;" fulntly answered
Winifred. "It would destroy my Ideal.
I can now imagine anything I like
about It. Dri'-e on, do. Oil, what a

andkerchlef. From within the hand
erchlef came a remonstratlve voice.
Aren't you going to tell me any more
stories about it?"
"There are no more, my dear."
"Why, I know better," said Winifred
ndlgnantly. "Wasn't there ever a hid
den treasure, concealed diamonds, boxes

some lucky heir to discover?"
"Hy George! said Christopher sull

liut this." explained her husband,
Is distinctly modern. It only dates
back forty or fifty years."
well?" wus Winifred s only repiy,
In her most euger, coaxing manner, and
so winsome was she that Christopher
first looked around to see if there was
ny danger of detection, and then took
hasty kiss.
"You see," he commenced, much re
freshed by the interlude, "my grand
father had a half-brother. Everybody
called him Uncle John. Most of his life
was spent at sea, but when he was near
ly 60 years old he came, poor and sick,
to grandfather tor a home. Uncle John
was a physical wreck. Nobody sup
posed he could live more than a month
or two, but as a matter of fact care and
ttentiou prolonged his life for fifty
years. hen he lay dying ne called my
father, then a boy of 12 or so, and con
fided to him the fact that he had $3,000
somewhere, and It was to become my
father's property at Uncle John's death.
Hut this was absolutely all he told. The
whereabouts of the money he failed to
communicate for some reason or other;
perhaps he had kept It secret so long he
could not bear to part with It. He died
few hours later, and no one but my
father ever believed that Uncle John
had a cent. There was some search
made not much but nothing was ever
found."
"Chris," said Winifred, after a pause,
If that money were found to whom
would it belong?"
To you, darling," responded the In
fatuated man.
"Do you mean, truly, that It would be
egally yours?"
"I'm the very fellow."
"Then, Christopher Schuyler, you
must set about lindlng it at once."
"Most hnppy, 1 m sure, but If the
united intellects of the past generation
couldn't study up what had become of
it, I don't see much chance for me."
'What shameful Indifference to a
plain duty." sighed Winifred. "Were
Uncle John'sclothes all ripped topleces?
uih pocketnooks picked apart? His
books carefully looked over, leaf by
eaf ? The walls of his room sounded?
His"
"And his house torn down, the gar
den dug up and the nearest pond drag
ged," Interrupted Christopher with a
great luugh, as they stopped In front
of their own door, and he lifted his wife
out of the carriage with the same for
malities which were observed in putting
her In.
So reprehensible was Christopher's
indifference that several days elapsed
before It occurred to him to say to Win
ifred, who was hanging about him,
pressing his hair, disarranging his desk,
putting a flower In his button-hole.
and otherwise distracting his attention
from the manuscript he was attempt
ing to copy. "Hy the way, this was
Uncle John's desk."
And you never told me before!"
cried Winifred, flying out of the chair
on which she had temporarily perched.
Mow clo you know that Uncle John s
money Isn t In It, In some Becret
drawer, perhaps, opening with a con
cealed spring?"
l went through all that nonsense
when I was a boy," replied Mr.
Schuyler loftily. "I, too, funded I
should be the hero to solve the mys
tery, and begged my father to let me
search for secret springs and hidden
drawers. and the rest of the trash, but
of course, I never found any. Father
was very sure, however, that Uncle
John irieant what he said," he added,
musingly.
"Yet there may be a secret In the old
desk which you haven't discovered,
murmured Winifred, walking around
the desk with a gaze as fixed as if she
expected a secret drawer to fly out to
her.
She sat down on the floor and began
to pull out the drawers one by one.
Each was palpably honest and con
tallied no hidden receptable, though
she searched above, below, behind all.
She restored them to their places with
a sigh, and sat down In front of it
Christopher looked at her and laughed,

"Chris,"' said Winifred, poring over a
large picture which was glued to the
Inside of the desk lid, "isn't this

that the fashion of docking horses' tails
is not at all modern, for these poor
things have their tails docked, and the
picture is dated October, 1704. Do you
suppose it Is really as old as that?"
"Very likely."
"Chris," continued she, "this picture
Is a curiosity. Let's have It framed."
"Certuinly, if you wish."
"I will unglue it carefully and, you
shall take It In town for a suitable
frame and glass, and I will hang it let
me see In the upper hall between the
windows."
"As my lady pleases."
His ladv forthwith pleased herself by
ordering hot water and various cloths
and towels and sponges, and with these
appliances went through a process ot
soaking and loosening the picture,
which left its old quarters with some
reluctance. She finally lifted it duln
tily by Its moistened edges and laid It,
tlme-stalned, yellow, but unharmed, on
the table. At the moment she did this
she snw another paper, also yellow and
tlme-stalned, which the removal of the
picture had brought to light.
"What is thut?" inquired Chris.
Winifred carefully smoothed out her
picture before glancing at her hus
band. He was standing entirely mo
tionless, looking at the paper.
"Winifred," he said, "I believe
you're a witch!"
"Certainly," said Winifred; "can
you doubt it?"
"This paper, unless I am attacked
by softening of the brain, which seems
to me very probable, was secreted by
Uncle John and tells the whereabouts
of the debatuble money."
"Keally, Chris? llcally? I don't be
lieve It."
"Listen to what the old gentleman
says: 'As I have a comfortable home
and am In no present need of money,
I shall put three Khousand dollars
in gold at the bottom of the well of
Dancing Damarls, which my half
brother Is now engaged In tilling up.
At my death, when this paper will be
found, the money shall go to Christo

is this a hoax you have arranged for
my benefit?"
"I?" said Winifred, Indignantly.
"How can you say such a thing?"
"How absurd it would be for me
to go hunting up a well that disappear
ed from sight fifty years ago."
"No matter, you must do it," cried
Winifred. "But suppose there has been
a house built over It! All sorts of things
mav have occurred since then!"
'I happen to know that the site or
the old well is nearly if not qite In

Then one day the dally papers reiatea
a romantic tale of the discovery of cer

very large sum, but Christopher and
Winifred knew it was neither more nor
less than the sum mentioned by Uncle
John; yet a not inconsiderable addition
to the Income of the poor storywngnt.
"Winifred," said Christopher one day,

"I forgot it," confessed Winifred,

as some palliation of this conduct, that
they were very lately married) thus re

THE STATE OF HER MIND.
It Was Lucky for Her Husband Thut Tele-
graphing Comes High,
From the Detroit Free Press.
There was little red Btreaks In her
face and a blaze in her eyes as she
came into a country telegraph odlce not
a thousand mies from Detroit.
"I want to telegraph to my husband,"
she said, with a snap of her large and
shapely Jaws.
"Yes, madame," responded the oper
ator, handing her some blanks.
'How much will it be?" she Inquired.
"I don't know, madame," replied the
operator, with keen politeness and a
faint smile.
"Don't know," she exclaimed. "What
are you here for?"
"To tell people what I know, madam,
and to send andjecelve messages."
"Well, why don't you know how much
a telegram will cost?"
"Because, madam, I don't know
where It is to be sent."
"Well, you needn't be so smart." she
snapped. "It Is to go to Detroit."
"Thank you, mudum; It will be twenty-live
cents."
She mude no further remark, but
took the blanks, and in the course of
time returned with about ten puges of
closely-written matter.
"There!" she said, laying a quarter
down with the message; "send that."
"Hut, madam," explained the oper
ator," It Is twenty-live cents for ten
words."
"What?" she ejaculated.
"You can only send ten words for
twenty-live cents."
She looked him square In the face as
she tried to suppress her feelings.
"Are you a married man?" she asked,
"Yes, madam."
"Well, you must be an idiot If you
don't know that a woman can't give
her husband a piece of her mind In ten
words," and. without waiting to hear
anything more from him, she flouted
herself out of the otlice, taking her mes
