he cried. "Begone! Begone!

'Hut I know where they nre! 1 know

His fucp underwent a startling
change. He darted forwurd with a

"What!" he said, "have you seen the

"The dog?" I cried. "No. but 1 hnvc

Once 1 halted, weighing the risks and
whether 1 should not take my knowl
edge to the cardinal. Hut 1 knew noth
ing definite, and hardening my heart
I went on, until 1 reached the alley
between the blind walls, it was noon;
the alley was empty, the neighboring
lane empty. J looked this way and that
and then went slowly down to the door
at which the man had halted, but to
which as soon us he knew that the
game was not lost he hud been heed
ful not to return.
There, seeing nil so quiet, with the
green of a tree showing here and there
above the wall, 1 bepan to blench and
wonder how 1 was to tuke the next
step; und for hulf on ..our, i dare say,
1 sneaked to nnd fro, now In sight of
the door and now with my buck to it,
afraid to advance and ashamed to re
treat. At length 1 went through the
alley, anil seeing how quiet and re
spectable It lay with the upper part of
the house visible at intervals above the
wall. 1 took, ut last, heart ot grace und
tried the door.
It stood so llrm that T despaired, and,
niter listening and looking to assure
myself that the attempt had not been
observed, I was about to move away,
when I espied the edge of the ring- of
a key projecting from under the door.
Still all was quiet; a stealthy look
round, and i had the key out. To draw
back now was to write myself craven
all my life, and with a shaking hand 1
thrust the wurds into the lock, turned
them, nnd In another moment stood on
the other side of the door in a neut gar
den, speckled with sunshine and shude,
und nil silent.
I remained a full minute, flattened
against the door, staring fearfully at
the liinh-frimted mansion that beyond
the garden looked down on me with
twelve great eyes. Hut all remained
silent, and observing presently that the
windows were shuttered, I took cour
age to move, nnd slid aside under a tree
und breathed again.
Still I looked and listened, fearfully,
for the silence seemed to watch me; but
nothing happened and everything; I
saw tended to prove the house empty.
I grew bolder, and sneaking from bush
to bush reached the door ut lust, and
with a backward glance between cour
age and desperation tried it.
It was locked, but that I hardly no
ticed, for us my hand left the lutch,
front some remote part ot the house
came the long-drawn whine of a dog!
. I stood listening and turning hot
and cold In the sunshine, und dared
not touch the latch again lest others
should hear the noise. Instead I stole
out of the doorway and crept round
the house and round the house ugain.
hunting for a back entrance. I found
none; but at last, jrouded by the re
flection thnt fortune would never lie
so nearly within my grasp, I marked
a window on the first Moor, and In the
side of the house by which It seemed
to me T might enter. A mulberry tree
stood by it, und it lacked a Bhutter;
and other trees veiled the spot. To be
brief, In two minutes I had my knee on
the sill, and sweating with terror
forced the casement in and dropped on
the floor.
Then I stood an instant, listening, in
a bare room, the door of which stood
ajar. . Somewhere in the bowels of the
house the dog whined again; otherwise
all was still deadly still. At length.
emboldened by the silence, I crept out
and stole along a passage seeking the
way down.
The passage was dark, and every
board on which I stepped shrieked the
alarm. Hut I felt my way to the land
ing at the head of the stairs and was
about to descend, when some Impulse,
I know not what perhaps a shrinking
from the tlark parts below, to which
I was about to entrust myself moved
me to open one of the shutters and
peer out.
I did so. cautiously and but a little.
and found myself looking, not Into the
garden through which I had passed,
but Into the one beyond the alley; and
there on" a scene so strange and vet
apropos to my thoughts that I paused,
gaping.
On a plat of grass four men were
standing, two and two; between them,
with nose upraised and scenting this
way and that, moved a beautiful black-
and-tan spaniel. The eves of all four
men were riveted to the dog, which, as
I looked, walked sedately, tint to the
one pair, and then, as If dissatisfied, to
the other pair; and then again stood
uldwuy und snuffed the air. The men
were speaking.- but 1 could not catch
even' their voices, and was reduced to
drawing what inferences 1 could from
their appearance.
of the two farther from me, one was
iny rascally bedfellow, the other a
crooked villain, almost in rags, with
one leg shorter than the other, yet
a face bold and even handsome. Of the
nearer pair, who had their backs to me,
the shorter, dressed in black, wore an
ordinary aspect; when, however, my
eyes traveled to his companion they
paused. He, it was plain, was the chief
of the party, for he alone was covered;
and, thouh I could not see his face nor
more of his figure than that he was tall
and of handsome presence, It chanced
that as I looked he raised his hand to
his chin, and I caught the sparkle ot a
superb Jewel.
That dazzled me, and the presence of
the dog perplexed me, and I continued
to watch. Presently the great man
again raised his bund, and this time it

seemed to me thut un order wus given,
for the lame man started into action
and moved briskly towurds the wail
which bordered the alley, und conse
quently towards the house in which I
stood. My companion of the night in
terposed, however, and apparently
would have done the errand Inniseir:
but ut a word he stood sulkily und let
the other proceed, who, when he hud
all but disappeared on so little a thing
It turned! below the level of the In
tervening walls, looked up und caught

COST OF PRODUCING A PLAY.
A lilt of Inside History About "The Sport
ing Duchess."
The money spent by theatregoers of
this country In a slnt?le jlear to See
plays and hear operas would come very
close to paying the national debt. Take
one play alone, the big spectacular
melodrama. "The Sporting Duchess."
it averaged receipts of about $10,000 a
week ut the Academy of Music, New
York, where it ran for over 1100 nights.
The people who saw the play payed
over ltiOO.000 for their pleasure, and it
Is only one of between 400 and 600 plays
before the American public.
Hut the public pays liberally to see
pluys, the munugers must expend
money In producing them. It Is hard to
make an uninitiated onlooker feel that
the painted canvas, the handsomely
costumed actors und the other ingred
ients' of the "show" cost u fortune.
Since "The Sporting Duchess" has been
taken as an example of the public's lib
eral output in this direction it may be
used also In illustration of the mana
ger's expenditures. It is a tremendous
play to begin with, calling for 13 mam
moth scenes, the simplest ot which is a
sort of baronial hall with solid stair
ways, doors, newel posts, etc. Besides
this there is a billiard room with tables,
an Immense llreplace nnd furniture that
wus all imported from Knglund for the
production. There is a big hotel scene,
and the Interior of Tuttersull's auction
rooms, London, is faithfully presented.
Several views of the famous Kpsont
Downs race course, where the famous
Knglisli Derby is run every year, are
shown and there is a practical race
course over which :!0 or :0 horses can
run at full speed without danger to
themselves or their riders. Charles
Frohman, who produced this remark
able play, paid over $76,000 out of his
pocket before the curtain went up on
the first night. He selected a great
company ot players, surpassing in
strength even the inugnitlcent cast of
the Old 1'nlon Square Stock company
duys placing Agnes Hooth, J. H. Stod-
dart, Cora Tanner, K. J. Hatcliffe, Frank
Carlyle and H. A. Koberts at the head
of the organization, and giving a per
formance the like of which the oldest
theatre-goer could not recall.
The horses, of course, cost a lot of
money, but the greatest Item of ex
pense was confined to a single scene
the regimental ball in the second act.
in th's scene the uniforms of all mill
tary Kurope are displayed. There are
over two dozen London and Paris
dresses from the establishments of
Worth, Felix and others, some of
which cost $1,100 each. The dresses and
uniforms cost In the neighborhood of
$:!r,noo, making it probably the most
expensive anil elaborate scene ever pre
sented on a stage.

Although Bill Nye's letters and lec
tures are familiar to all people who ap
preciate humor of the true sort, his first

that wide circulation it deserves. Aiuch
of that excellent work he collected and
published In book form, and it is from
those unpretentious volumes, "Haled

and "Chestnuts." that the following
characteristic excerpts are made:

THE tri'e"a.ii;rcan'.
The true American would rather work
hlmseir Into luxury or the lunatic asylum
than lo hang like a great wart upon the
face of nature.
SL'DDKN FAMK.
A man works twenty years to become
known as a scholar, u newspaper man and
a gentleman, while the Illiterate murderer
springs Into immediate notoriety In a day,
and the widow of his victim cannot even
g-et her life IrnturuiK-e. These things are
what make people misanthropic and tena
cious of their belief in a hell.
Did NIT V.
Dignity does not draw, it answers in
place of Intellectual tone for twenty min
utes, but after a while it fulls to get there.
Dignity works all right in a wooden In
dian or a drum major, but Ihe man who
desires to draw a sulary through life and
to be sure of a visible means of support
will do well to make some other provision
than a haughty look and the air of put
ronage. FIRMNESS.
Firmness is a Rood thing in Its place,
but we Nhould early learn that to be llrm
we need not stand up uealnst a cyclone
till our internal economy is blown into the
tops of the neighboring trees. .Moral
courage is a good thing, but it is useless
unless you have a liver to go along with
it. Sometimes a man is required to lay
down his life for his principles, bui the
cases where he is expected to lay down his
digester on the altar of his belief are com
paratively seldom,
TUB RIGHT SORT OF BOV.
T am always sorry to see a youth get Ir
ritated und pack up his clothes in the heat
of debate and leave the home nest. His tu
tu re is a little doubtful, and it is hard to
prognosticate whether he will fracture
limestone for the streets of a great city or
become president of the I'nited States;
but there is a beautiful and luminous HIV"
ahead of his in comparison with the boy
who obstinately refuses to leave the home
nest. The boy who cannot summon the
moral courage some day to uncoil the ten
drils of his heart from the clustering Idols
of the household to urappl with outrag
eous fortune, oughl to be taken by the ear
and led away out into the great untried
realm of space.
PUGILIST OR STATESMAN.
Thousands of our own boys, who today
are spearing frogs, or balhing In Ihe rivers
of their native land and parading on the
shingly beach with no clothes On o speak
of, are left to choose between iu-h a ca
reer of usefulness and greatness of brow,
and the humdrum life of a blllouj stu
dent and pale, sad congressman. Will ou
rise to the proud pinnacle of fame us a
pugilist, boys, or will you plug along as a
sorrowing, overworked statesman? Now,
in the springtime of your lives, choose be
tween the two, and abide the conse
quences, a child's FATK.
During a big thunder rhower a while uro
little Willie, who slept iinstalrs alone, ant
scared and called his mother, who came
up and asked him whut he wus frluhtened
about. .Willie frankly admitted that ihe
thunder was a little loo much for a little
boy who slept alone.
"Well, If you're afraid," said his mother,
pushing back the curls from his forehead,
"you should pray for courage."
, "All right, ma," said Willie, an Idea com
ing into his head: "suppose you stay up
here and pray while 1 go downstairs and
sleep with paw."
THE CODFISH.
This tropical bird seldoms wings his way
so far west as Wyoming. He loves the sea
breezes and humid atmosphere of the At
lantic ocean, und when isolated in this
mountain elitne, pines for his native home.
'i he codfish cannot slug, but Is prized for
his beautiful plumage and seductive odor.
The codfish of commerce is devoid of di
gestive appartus, and Is more or less per
meated with salt.
Codfish on toast Is not as expensive us
quail on toast.
The codtlsh ball Is made of the shuttered
remalns-of the adult codfish, mixed with
the tropical Irish potato of commerce.
The coil lis h has a greut wealth of glad,
unfettered smile. When he laughs al any
thing, he has' thut same wide waste of
mirth and back teeth lhat .Mr. Talmuge
has. The Wyoming codfish is generally
dead. Death, in most cases, is the result
of exposure und loss of appetite,
