on a bench outside the local bar.
"Hullo, Dlyth!" cried a lounger,
Aiever saw you Interested In a bit
of news before. What's up?"
The man nddressed, a hnndsome fol
low, but caVcworn and emaciated, gave
no reply. He had hurriedly run his
eye down 'the columns and now held
the paper open on his knee, staring
nt a paragraph broadly marked In blue
pencil.
"So," he murmured under his breath,
."Gilbert Fane married, and Lilian for
gotten."
The onlooker laughed and confided
to a friend that old Ulyth was always
queer, while the recipient of the news
paper after remaining for a while bur
led In thought, rose and made his
way down the road to a better sort of
frame hut, the Interior of which bore
unmistakable traces of refinement. In
truth, some of the contents would not
have disgraced a lady's drawing room
In Adelaide. They were an old Jap
anese cabinet, a workbasket, a pret
tily cushioned deck chair, and other
knick-knacks such as women choose.
The picture of a handsome girl of
twenty hung In a massive silver frame
upon tho wall. This he walked
straight up to, and gazed at the lovely
face long and wistfully.
"You are mine now, Lilian," he said
aloud, "your husband has married
ngaln. Do you hear, beloved? Do you
mind, I wonder7 Was his tho name on
your lips when " Sighing deeply, he
sat down before tho cabinet and took
from It a writing case manifestly fe
minine, which was stamped with the
monogram L. F. It contained the usual
paraphernalia of a woman's corres
pondence, a few diary letters, some
loose sheets of paper, and a dainty
little book with "Diary" in quaint gilt
letters on the cover.
For two years this case had been
Oraham Myth's most cherished posses
sion. Hearing that hla old friend, Li
lian Fane was returning to the colony
he had gone to meet the steam
er she was expected to arrive by, only
to receive the terrible news of her
death by drowning on tho voyage out.
11 had been purely accidental, they
sal'd. She had acquired a habit of sit
ting alone on the forecastle, and one
cveding must have stumbled over an
anchor, and so fallen overboard. Tho
ship had been stopped, and every ef
fort made to save the unfortunate lady,
who was aMtnlversal favorite, lut to no
purpose. She was never seen again.
Her mother (married for the second
time In the colony) was l'"rtbrokcn,
and had bsgged Myth to keeir-ihose be
longings, pleading that tho sltrht of
Uiem would but renew her sorrow.
And he had kept them like sacrificial
mysteries, Inviolate.
But todoy, as he sat with' tho open
writing case before him, nnd for the
thousandth time touched each object
with reverent care, tho news of Gilbert
Fane's remarriage filled him with a
sense of proprietorship which in a
vague, unreasoning manner brought
him comfort.
She was his now. The other had for
gotten her. He alone was true, even
beyond tho grave.
It was loncer than usual before he
returned the derelict treasures to their
resting places, they so vividly recalled
to him Lillian's jgretty methodical
habits and qualntry tidy ways. The
diary he took up lust, It was charac
teristic of the man that often as he had
handled the little book, its clasp had
never been unfastened. To himself on
this point he had been Inexorable. He
had even begged Lilian's mother to
send It to Mr. Fane, as being the last
thing that her hand touched. It had
been picked up on the forecastle where
she used to sit. Tlut this evening he
felt differently. The husband owned
nnother wife. Something that was
Lakln to exultation filled Graham
Iniyth's soul. He held the tiny volume
against his cheek caressingly, and
Tazed at the pictured face above him,
tvhlch to his excited fancy smiled ap-
Iroval. "Open it," the lips seemed to
lay. "Read my dying thoughts; you
blono have tho right." 'She is yours,
lyours only," moaned the wind as It
Iswept round the gables. "Ho executor
of her last wishes," urged his heart,
"perhaps one remains unfulfilled."
With a shiver Graham gently undid
the clasps and began reading.
At first the entries were brief and
unimportant: only from n word here
nnd there could the anxious survivor
gather that his dead friend had not
been as fully satisfied with her sur
roundings In England as ho had be
lieved. Hut presently, coinciding with
her final determination to revisit tho
Antipodes, the tone of the Journal
changed. All reserve was cast off, and
he found himself feverishly perusing
the innermost thoughts of a woman
who confessed that life had become In
tolerable to her. The narrative burned
like a hot iron Into his brain:
"Throb, throb, throb! Tho monot
onous pulsation of the screw is like
the beating of a, laboring heart. Hut
existence on. board a crowded liner In
the midst of constant movement Is, at
least, not so hard to bear as the numb
emptiness I have left, and which my
folly brought mo to.

not old enough to be tired of life, is It?

to myself to write my henrt's history.
Three years ago I waB happy as any
girl that ever breathed. The warm,
dry air of Adelaide had restored my
mother to health, and tho days passed
like a dream. Wc had all wo wished
for, Including many friends.
"Among the men who came most
frequently to see us was Graham
Myth. Ho was Australian born and
bred. A fine fellow, with n heart like
a romantic girl's. Another was Gilbert
Fane. Gilbert was a man of tho
world, light-hearted, polished and with
a synlcal wit that mndo him a delight
ful companion.
"Hoth said they loved me, but each
thought I preferred the other. Nor
was it easy to make up my mind.
Looking back now I know that I
cared for Graham best, and let him go
only because I was dazzled by the
other's more brilliant gifts, and also
because I was a little bit afraid of
the roughness of an Australian life.
"This the poor fellow honestly real
ized, though ho broke down completely
when I told him one evening that I
did not think the colony altogether
suited me, and as soon as' my moth
er's health permitted It, wo should go
back to Europe. Ho staggered as If he
had been struck, but all he said was,
'You're the first and last woman I
ahall ever love, and If you do not share
my home, no one else will.' With these
words he left me, and I never saw
him again,
"Am I going to sec him now?
"Then Gilbert proposed to mo. Ho
was obliged to return to England, and
begged me to promise to follow as soon
as possible. I almost said yes, for
mother was thinking of marrying
again, and I was fond of him In a way.
He tried every possible argument to
Induce me to change my mind, but at
that time to no purpose. Ho then got
me to agree that If I ever thought bet
ter of his suit I was to write and tell
him.
' IJelng thus over-persuaded, my
mother's marriage threw me on my
own resources. Graham made no sign,
wlille Gilbert wrote constantly urging
mo to accept him. I hold out a little
longer. Hut everything was against
me. Even my home had grown dis
tasteful, and I knew myself no longer
Indispensable.
"More than once I tore up tho letter
which was to lot Gilbert know I had
surrendered, and It was fully a month
after reluctantly making up my mind
that I wrote and said that If ho still
cared for me I was ready to Tje his
wife.
"In duo course came his answer. It
was not so fervid as his previous pro
testations, but I thought this was ow
ing to his not feeling quite sure of me.
He begged me, however, to come home
at once, his aunt would receive me with
open arms, and wo should be married
from her house.
"On my arrival In England he was
all affection and kindness. Still there
was something In his manner nit no
ticeable before. There was no longer
that Intense solicitude for my least
wish which had so fascinated me in
Australia rather a certain offhanded
ness that prevented his welcome from
ringing quite true to my now morbidly
awakened perceptions. At even that
early date I began to fear it was fool
ish to write and offer one's self after
some months separation. I taxed him
with being changed, but ho strenuous
ly denied that anything was wrong,
and his aunt did her utmost to set. my
doubts at rest. She was never weary
of declaring how fond he was of me.
For a time they lulled my suspicions,
but it was Impossible to set them alto
gether at rest. Though without the
strength to act on It, I had a convic
tion that Gilbert did not care for me as
he used to, nnd lest possibly ho had met
somebody he liked better, I implored
his aunt to speak to him before It was
too late.
"She laughed at my fears, but at
length promised that she would at least
mention them to her nephew. Perhaps It
was tho nearness of our wedding day
that prevented her keeping her word.
Alas foe me! she left maters take their
course.
"In less than a year I kqew we were
utterly unfculted to each other. By
painful degrees the discovery dawned
upon me that my husband was one of
those men who, without very strong
feelings, are so governed by vanity as
to consider a woman's refusal the worst
shame that can come to them. He ad
mitted having acted as he had mainly
In order to prevent my becoming the
wife of Graham Myth, and throwing
him over. As for himself, he confessed
he thought me too exacting and neu
rotic, not at all the sort of girl I had
seemed In Australia, and hinted that
If his aunt had put the matter plainly
to him, he would have let me off.
"Then tho utter hopelessness of my
position became manifest. I had forced
myself on an unwilling husband. It did
not take me long to decide what to do.
A letter from my mother saying she
was not very strong determined me,
and my husband's last words were. 'I
suppose you'll see Blyth?'
"Is there no way out of all this
wretchedness? As I sit gazing over tho
ocean toward the East where Graham
still lives In peace, the water looks
cool and Inviting. My heart hungers
to see him, but I know my own weak
ness. I cannot believe he has forgot
ten me, and dare not tax his loyalty.
"A plunge would be easy, and they
would say it wns an accident."
Graham Myth closed the diary. Then
his head dropped until it rested on the
cover, and he fell on his knees beside
the table.
Dawn breaking found him crouched
almost In the same attitude.
. He was dead. St. Paul's.
TIIHI2G JOLI.Y STORIES.
Tho Advico ot nn Ohio Judgo to n
1'romtnunt Lmvyor.
Several Ohio lawyers once gathered
In Judgo Wilson's room after adjourn
ment of court and wero discussing the
retirement of a member of tho bar.
Among them was one whose practlco
was worth $23,000 a year. He said: "I
have been practicing several years and
am well fixed. I have thought I would
like to retire and devote my remaining
years to studies I have neglected."
"Study law," put In Judge Wilson.
A sergeant of a company of British
Infantry quartered In a Dacolt-infested
part of Burma, a few years ago, was
a firm believer In destiny. One even
ing, when dressing, preparatory to
taking a stroll in tha Jungle, ho was
noticed by a corporal, a persistent op
ponent of the destiny, to slip a revolver
Into his pocket. "Hello!" shouted the
corporal, "what era you taking tho re
volver with you for? That won't save"
you If your time has come." "No," re
plied the sergeant; "but, you see, I may
happen to come across a Dacolt whose
last day has come."
During a general election a canvasser
called at tho liouse of tho late Profes
sor Froude, tho historian. Mr. Froudo
was out, so the canvasser had to con
tent himself with Interrogating the
butler as to how Mr. Froudo would
vote. The butler an old servant, who
understood his master well replied:
"When tho liberals is In Mr. Froude Is
sometimes n conservative. When the
conservatives Is In Mr. Froude Is al
ways a liberal."

IIoiv Mrs. Hocclicr Tried to Choclc
Her Impetuous Husband.
From tho Now York Sun.
The great preacher was always ready
for a Joke, while Mrs. Ueechcr took
everything seriously. Speaking of his
first charge nt Lawrencebury, Ind.,
where his salary was $300 a year, Mr.
Beechcr sold:
"Wo wero awful poor there, weren't
we mother?"
"Wo wight have been poorer, Hanry,"
said Mrs. Uoecher, smoothing out her
apron.
"Yes," continued Heccher, "wo were
so poor that It was. hard to get food
to feed and wood to warm mother and
the babies"
"Henry!" Interrupted Mrs. needier,
with an upward Inflection.
"Yes, wo wero so poor that I used
to havd to catch floodwood out of the
Ohio river. One day when I was right
In the middle of a Sunday sermon, I
looked out of tho window nnd saw tho
floodwood going down. I remember how
I wanted to be out there catching that
wood."
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Why, I rushed that sermon through,
broke off the bend of it, and dismissed
tho congregation. Then I called my
deacons back, and wo went down to
the river and got out floodwood enough
to last mo three months." And then
with a laugh he glanced at Mrs. Hecch
er and said: "Didn't I mother?"
"No, Henry, you never did nny such
thing," she said, biting her lips. "How
absurd!"
"Did you stay in Lawrenceburg
long?" I asked.
"Oh, no. I soon had a 'six hundred'
call to Indianapolis, and I was glad to
go. Mother had just written n book
on the trials of a poor preacher, and It
was getting warm in Lawrenceburg.
Mother's book was written so close to
life nnd was so personal that wo had
to stop It, and I've always been afraid
that some publisher would dig It up
again.
"In Indianapolis," continued Mr.
Beeclier, "a grand thing happened to
mo that gave mo my first publicity. I
wns Invited to preach the dedication
sermon for the First Congregational
church In Fort Wayne, nnd was to bo
paid $25 for one sermon. This was an
unheard-of price for one talk at that
time and it got into the newspapers.
Even editorials were written about it.
Then, of course, nil tho papers printed
the sermon this twenty-flva dollar
sermon nnd I was a proud man.
"I rode on horseback from Indian
apolis," continued Mr. Beechcr, "and
wore so many holes In the seat ot my
homespun clothes that I was afraid to
go back nnd let mother "
"Henry!" Interrupted Mrs. Beccher,
concealing a smile.
"Well," continued Beccher, "I had so
much money that I concluded to ride
my horse on up to Toledo and take a
boat to Buffalo and the canal to New
York. I wanted to attend the great
Presbyterian convention. Well, I got
there and was a lion, but my money
was gone.
" 'Oh,' I said, 'how shall I face
mother when I get home!' I was ap
palled at my own extravagance."
"How did you get out of It?" I ask
ed. "Well, I borrowed some money of
a young preacher named Storrs he's
Dr. Storrs now and then went to
Dr. Prime of the Observer and told
him my trouble. Dr. Prime didn't
have any money to lend. Then I offer
ed to write letters at a dollar a week,
giving all tho church news from the
west, to bo published In tho Observer
If Prime would lend me money enough
to get home. You know they have
paid me $300 a column for such stuff
lately?"
"Did you ever really write newspaper
letters for a dollar a piece?" I asked.
"Well, I'll tell you about It," said
Mr. Boecher, his eyes twinkling with
fun. ."You see I wanted to write them,
but Prime said he would consider It
over night after consulting with his
wife."
"Of course Prlmo accepted your of
fer?" I suggested.
"No, he came back the next day,"
said Beeclier while a smile stole over
his face, "and said he had given the
proposition prayerful thought and had
come to the conclusion that they
wouldn't be worth It."
One day when I called, Beccher was
bantering Bayard Taylor. "Bayard,"
he said, "I wish you would give up
writing poetry and stick to lecturing
and writing about your travels. Your
poetry will never make you famous."
"I think differently," said Taylor.
"I know I can write good poetry. At
any rate, I would rather be a thlrd
cMps poet than a first class lecturer."
"Well, said Beccher, "you ought to
be happy then you're both!"
