An Italian named Juan Patrlttl has upset all preconceived Ideas In regard to digestion nnd nutrition. Without a stomach, nnd consequently without the assistance of the gastric Juices, he digests and grows fat on soups, spag hetti, raviola, tamales, beef, mutton nnd pork, properly seasoned with gar lic, and drinks his usual allowance of wine. A year ago Patrlttl was dying of cancer of the stomach. Today ho Is hale and hearty, does his day's work tit ploughing or driving a milk wagon, nnd does not know what dyspepsia means. During the last year Patrlttl has done so well that ho has purchased a ticket for Europe, and next week will start on a trip to Italy to visit his old home. Patrlttl's case Is ono of tho rarest known to medical science. Tho first operation for removal of the stomach wns In Zurich, Switzerland. The pa tient was a woman, and after her stomach had been removed she lived two years, but was fed on peptonized food. Another case was that of Mrs. Magendle, vho had her stomach re moved In the German hospital In this city eighteen months ago. She Is still alive and Uvea on peptonized food, but Patrlttl eats and lives Just ns ho did before his stomach was removed, and his only complaint Is that now ho can only work eight hours a day instead of ten, as formerly. Patrlttl Is a dairyman In San Mateo county. Ho is 39 years old. About this tlmo last year ho was admitted to St. Mary's hospltaj, and Dr. George Chllds MacPonnld diagnosed the rase as ono of cancer of tho stomach. It was learn ed from the patient that he had been ill nnd unablo to work for about three months. Before that he had never been 111 In his life. Tic was very much emaciated nnd weak. Tho case seemed hopeless, but the doctor decided as a last resort to re move the whole of the stomach. With the assistance of Drs. Frazer, King well, McMonogal nnd Bailey, Dr. Muc- Donald successfully performed tho operation, but the patient was almost In a Mate of collapse when It was over. He gradually rallied, however, and soon wns on tho road to recovery. A month nfter tho operation Patrlttl thought ho was well enough to go homo. Without asking anybody's leuve, he slipped out of the hospital nnd was met In Market street during the afternoon by Dr. MaeDonald carrying a gripsack weighing twelve pounds. Ho objected strenuously to being taken back to the hospital, but Dr. MaeDonald Insisted, nnd back ho went. Ho wns kept In St. Mary's until July 2S, when he was dis charged. At that time ho weighed 107 pounds, and he gave tho doctor to understand that his usual weight was l3o pounds. From tho hospital Patrlttl went to his ranch In San Mateo county, and thero ho has lived u:ul worked ever since. He eats the same kind of food as others In that pjMIon, and claims that he can digest pork ns easily ns chicken. A year ago he did not weigh 100 pounds, and todey he is within two pounds of his regulu weight 135 pounds. A few days ago he told Dr. MaoDonald he was as well as evar he was, but grumbled becauso ha go: tired when he had been plowing six or .even hours, whereas before his stomacn was cut out he could work ten hours and not feel fntlgued.

That Miss Foster was different from nnd more charming than all the rest of her sex might liavo been proved from any of tho fifteen men to whom she had ueen engaged In tho two years slnco sho hnd come back from school begin ning with Cadet FcnU and ending with Cndy. That Captain Foster was exactly like all tho rest of mankind nnd llttlo de served the blessing ho had In" his daughter, was manifested by his draw ing from his pocket a letter and saying ns he gave It to her: "By the by, Kit ty, this camo for you yesterday while you wero riding with Cady, and I for got to give It to ou." Miss Foster looked at tho nostmark and at tho almost feminine chlrogrnphy ana Know that tho letter was from Fort Bowlo nnd from Glocester. She laid It beside her plato and finished her breakfast. Afterward sho took It up to her own room and read It. Then sho eat with folded hands nnd looked, unseeing, nt the photographs of the fifteen upon tho wall before her. She was very white. The most astuto woman will fre quently stake everything and play all her game upon honor In man, When that chances to fall her calculations are set nt naught, and tho bottom falls out of her universe. And Glocoster's honor had failed. He wrote Kitty read It again "So you tell mo you nro ongnged to Cady. That means llttlo to you. But It means much to him. Therefore, to prevent his being mado tho fool that I have been, I have taken tho liberty of send ing him by this mall the letters you have written to mo within tho last month four in number that ho may know with what manner of woman he has to deal." Now, fourteen times before. Miss Foster hnd not been In earnest. But this time she was. Unfortunately, tho fact that sho cared greatly for Cady had not prevented her from writing to Glo cester more affectionately than pru dent, In order to keep him t'other dear charmer who was away upon her string, so long ns It would hold him without snapping. And the letters, sent while she was actually engaged to Cady, were going to fall Into his hands. It was u desperate situation. But, for all her blue eyes, and curls, and be wildering ways, Miss Foster was the woman to meet It. After a time sho rose to her feet nnd set her lips. It Is a peculiarity of Cupld's-bow lips that they can set upon occasions. Sho knew that Cady had not yet received those letters. And she determined that ho never should. She would rob the stage. Guard mounting was Just over, and the stage wns not due until noon. Kitty set a 'big hat a-tlltlng upon her curls and walked down to the postolllce. Fate, with her partiality for the brave und fair, willed that the postmaster should have left his desk. Miss Foster pushed open the gate and went behind the rail. fThe keys to the mall bag hung upon their hook. She put them In her pocket. When the postmaster came back she was placidly marking his clean blotter with the letter stamp. "If you please, Mr. Jones," she said, "I want this letter registered." An hour later Miss Foster reined up her homo on the top of a rlso and looked across the Hat stretch of grease wood, and cactus and sage. Far away a tiny speck was crawling toward her along the white road. It was the stage. Sho had been born upon the plains, and pho had an unfnllng eye for Its dis tances. Thero would bo full half an hour to wait. Sho cast about for some way of killing tlmo and found a deep, wide llssure In the parched earth. It appealed to her daring. She put her horse to a run and Jumped It tlmo and again until he wns winded. Then she rode again to the crest of the slope. The stage was near. She dismounted, felt of the girths, nnd sat down, hug ging tho tiny noonday shade of n mos quito bush, for the sun was burning down from a hard, blue sky. A big red ant was carrying a beetle's wing many times larger than Itself. Kitty watched It until she heard tho rattle of traces as the stage climbed the other side of the slope. Then she commended her houI to heaven and brought her quirt down upon the horse's black flanks. The stage driver drew up his stock, and the one passenger put out his head and shoulders and gazed nt tho slender gray figure riding alone In the midst of the prnlrle. "What ever, Miss Kitty" the driver stopped short. He saw the horse graz ing off a bunch of stumpy grass a hun dred yards away. Kitty went a step nearer and laid her hand on tho wheel. She had seen that there was no woman In the stage. A woman would have upset all her calculations. Sho raised her big blue eyes. The men who could have resisted them were few. Those In the stage listened now to a talo calcu lated to melt a heart of stone. "I was Just out for a little ride," said Kitty, "and my girths wore loose, so I dismounted to cinch up, and that horrid Dnndy got away. If you had not como I don't know whatever I should have done." Miss Foster would not have been the woman she was if tears the genii ot the lamp of fair feminity had not risen nt her will. The driver looked ngaln at the horse and back nt Miss Foster. He hnd known her from the day of her birth. When he was in his first enlist ment, long beforo he had returned to civil life ho had been her father's strik er. Ho had held her upon a burro and taught her to ride before she could walk. Therefore he was Justly an noyed. For tho cleverest conspirator is apt to overlook a detail, and Kitty had forgotten that the horso of a good rider, which has broken away, should have the bridle over Its head. "I'm sure, Miss Kitty," ho said, "that It wern't me learned you to leave the reins hooked over thepommel when you dismounted and I should havo thought you could have mounted alone any where." Kitty flushed. Of all things she was proudest of her horsemanship. "Do you think, O'Rourke, that you could catch Dandy for me?" "I dunno," said O'Rourke, "tnln't so easy to catch a horso when tho reins Is over tho pommel," But he wound the lines around tho brake and Jumped down. Tho passeng er was not to be outdone. He Jumped down, too, nnd together they went trot ting across tho plain. Kitty had seen others try to catch Dandy, Sho climbed lelsuroly Into the stage, and dragged the mall pouch from under the seat. She waa frightened now, anil cold and trembling, and she threw fiulck glances to where O'Rourke and tho passenger wero adanclng and retreating and deploring never within arm's reach of Dandy, When she had etowed away In tho crown of her cap n small package postmarked Bowie and addressed to Cady in a pointed, eprawl lng, almost feminine hand, she snapped On tho Birosskfast TsaMe tho lock. Sho had left tho keys In th bag. For sho knew that tho postmast -r had duplicates. Then sho steadied li-i-eelt with a long-drawn breath, nnd gathered her riding skirt about her, walked toward Dandy, holding out hor hand. Dnndy had been brought up to bellcvo that this meant sugar or nut megs. Ho came, with neck out stretched, and muzzled In tho little gloved palm. "He Is sorry ho was naughty," said Miss Foster, scratching tho back of his ear, "nnd ho Is going to bo good, nnd never, never run away from his mis tress again." And then sho rewarded O'Rutirke by putting her booted foot In his great palm and springing to her seat In a manner that did hla training credit. She smiled on tho passenger and thank ed him sweetly. "I hope tho postmaitev will not bo angry with me for delaying tho trans portation of the government malls," and sho cantered awny. Cody sat himself upon tho tap step of the porch of Captain roster's quar ters. Miss Foster did the same. C.idy's face wns stern nnd set. MIssi Foster s was white and scare:!. Thero was si lence. Then Cady drew from his pocket a package ot letters. They were in Kitty's writing. Kitty drew from her pocket another package. They were In Cady's hand. Cady spoke Ilrst. "Here," ho said, "is n bundlo of la tere four In number. They camo to mo In today's mall. They wore accom panied by this note from Glocester. I need not assure you that I have not read them, but I gather from what he says that they are of nn exceedingly personal nature and of every recent dale. You may guess my opinion of aioccster. But," he bent upon her a look of withering scorn, "you cannot gupss my opinion of you." He held tho bundle out to her. She pushed it nwny. Then she hold tip be fore his eyes a package of much tho same Bize. Ho reached out for it quickly. "Net yet!" said Kitty. "Here," shj continued, "Is a bundle of letters-six in number. They came In to I ty's mall. They were accompanied by a note from Miss Fowler, of Bowie. I need not assure you that I have read them.

"No." Cady put his package in his pocket nnd fnstened his blouse over them. Then ho sat looking over tho parade ground. After a time he put his hands of his knees nnd turned nnd faced Miss Foster. "Well," he said. Kitty's eyes had been cast down, so that her long lashes lay upon her cheeks. She raised them. Ho looked on steadily Into their blue and twinkling depths. "Well," echoed Kitty. And then he smiled. Miss Foster gave a huge sigh of re lief, "Isn't it curious," she said, "how exactly alike Miss Fowler and Mr. Glo cester write? Any one might have been deceived." Which was not very revelant, but Cady did not ask what she meant. Ir relevancy was one of Miss Foster's many charms. Gwendolen Overton In tho Argonaut. DOGS AND GHOSTS. Two That Acted As Though They Saw Phantoms. Tho "Listener" In tho Boston Transcript. Andrew Lang has lately written: "My friend, Mr. Blank, R. A., has a beautiful sheep dog, and lives in a haunted house. One night Rodney, the dog, was Bhut up in tho haunted room. The haunting began like mad, and the awful noise of knocks nnd thumps, was accompanied by tho howls of Rodney, who was in the very thick of It. My friend was away from home, and the ladles had a delicacy about In terfering. Next morning Rodney lied like an arrow, with his tall between his legs, when the door wns unlocked nor could he readily bo Induced to re enter tho room. But he did not let It weigh on his mind. If It had been rats he would have collared thvrr, but ns Rodney can do everything but speak, tho affair remains a mystery." This excellent story reminds me of the tale of the dog and tho drunkard. A printer of my acquaintance, a man of Intemperate habits, had a little dog who wont everywhere with him, stick ing faithfully by him through nil of his sprees. In tho courso of time the printer became the occasional victim of delirium tremens. Ono time ho lay on his bed, In a little room off a long corridor, In a boarding house, sleeping off a drunk. It was broad daylight. Tho printer woko to hear terrible footsteps coming down the corridor, accompan ied by unearthly gasping noises. He know, In his soul, that tho thing ap proaching was a phantasm a creation of his whisky-crazed brain, but never theless ho trembled with terror. Th little dog, lying on tho bed at his fct Jumped up at tho first wound made ik tho approaching monster, erected t!i bristles on Its back and growled an barked fiercely. Tho tread came neu er; tho dog barked moro loudly. i through the door, which did not open, came the monster; It was a devil, In the shape of neither man nor beast, but compounded of both: even though It struck terror to his blood, the drunk nrd still knew It was a phantasm. But tho little dog Jumped on tho floor, wild with fury; keeping himself between his master and tho phantasm, ho barked EVERY WOSViA.

Then suddenly the frightful vision dls- appeared, fading back through the door and barking. When It wns quite gone tho dog leaped back on tho bed, watching tho door excitedly, and con tinuing to growl until tho last Imagined sound of tho monster's tread had left: his master's earB, to be followed by, stupid sleep. The question Is whether tho dog, bj; long association, had acquired the fac ulty of Heelng what his master secmei to see, or whether the drunkard Imagined tho barking of the dog nlona with tho appearance of tho monster. That ho Invented the whole story I should never believe. HIS GHOST STORY. Philander Johnson In Washington Star. In tho light of subsequent events, 1 cannot help being very much surprised at tho manner of the landlord win rented mo that strange house tho ont by tho way, which I afterward pur. chased, and which I am now occupying. There was nothing suspicious about hli manner. Ho did not seem cspeclnlli eager to get a tenant nnd did not offei It to me nt any pronounced remarkabli reduction. No one wns giving anj prizes to people who would consent tt pans one night In some particular room, und on the whole I had good reason U be astonished when I discovered that It was haunted. My wife was out of the city with the children. I had worked hard getting the furniture Into place, and was rather nervous. I was lying In bed wishing that the full moon did not shine so brightly, when I heard a pe culiar, regular sound. It was a dull sort of noise, repeated steadily as tho ticking of n clock ten or a dozen times, then ceasing for a few seconds, only to be resumed. I looked all about the room and could see nothing. The sound came closer and closer to my bedside and then receded. I sat up to make a moro careful survey, and my eye was attracted by a narrow streak of light which tho moon made acro3 my floor at right angles to my bed. I gazed at It for several minutes, and presently I saw a foot, white and sub stantial, step into the silver glnro on the floor and then disappear. It was tho right foot. I still watched, and from the other direction another foot ap peared In the moonbeam; this tlmo tho left. Thero was nothing abovo tho ankles. I got out of bed and threw the blinds wide open, and in tho in creased light saw the feet making their monotonous Journeys to and fro across tho floor. Frightened? Not a bit of it. I watched my opportunity to avoid stepping on either of tho feet merely a humane courtesy on my part, for I perceived a corn on ono of the great toes and going to tho mantlepleco picked up a paper of tacks which lay there. I stood up on tho foot of tho bed and strewed the contents of tho pack age right and left over the floor. I won dered if superhuman feet would pay any attention to them nnd was over Joyed when they suddenly became mo tionless. Then ono of them was ele vated Into the air as If some ono wero holding It In both hands while tho other stood firmly on the floor. A remark un lit for publication floated sopulchrally through the room, after which tho feet made a bee lino for the door and dis appeared, never to return, ft learned on inquiry next day that one of the for mer occupants, now deceased, had "often a patient gentleman, very regular In his habits, who had attracted somo at tention In the neighborhood by being the father of twins.
