A LOVER'S QUARREL Dick and I had quarreled and parted I cannot tell you how it all bean, or why it ended in this serious fashion, but I cau a-Shure you I felt very miserable as I eaw him striding away over the fields, although I hail told him to go myself. Still I never thought he would have tak en me at my word. "What shall I say to Aunt Maria?" I thought as I turned my steps homeward. This was a very serious reflection indeed, for it had been the dream of Aunt Ma ria's existence to see me united to Lick Johnson, the handsome only son of our wealthy neighbor, Sir Ilecry. Lick and I had played together aa children, danced together, flirted togeth er, and finally fell in love with each other. We were to have been married in a month, and now I had sent him away and told him I never wished to see him again. What was to be done and, oh dear! what should I say to Aunt Maria ? There was no help for it, however, but to go home and explain the situation to the best of my ability, and accordingly home I went. Aunt Maria was in the drawing room, and I stole softly in and took np a book, hoping that she would not notice me. Bat she saw me directly and impiired : "Where is Dick?" "He has gone home," I replied trying t) afcuiue aa unconcerned manner and faiing most signally in the attempt. "Gone home? Why! Did you not till him I expected him to dinner?" "Yes." "Then why is he not coming?" ''He had an engagement," 1 mumbled. "For goodness sake, child, speak out ! Come here w here I can see you. How red your face is ! What is the matter ?" I rose obediently and stood befjre my aunt, w ho fixed a relentless gaze upon me. "You have been crying," she said. '.Vow just tell me the truth at once. Daisy. Have yoa and Dick quarreled ?" "Yes," I faltered. "And whit about, pray V "I don't know." "You don't kao 1" This in a very gaectstic tone. I remained silent and firublel for my pocket haudkerehief. "Who began it?'' pursjed Aunt Maria, sternly. "I don't know." "Have you broken off your engage ment?' "Yes,'' I burst fjrih. "I hate him, and I will never sprak to hitn aiain." Then I beg.m to wep copioosly. "If you are goitig to Lo I," said Aunt Maria, w ith bitter irony, "you had better leave the rm. 1 shad require a full explanation to-morrow from both you aa J Mr. Johnston." I tied up ttairs and did not appear again that evening. I pacj a wretch ed night and ha 1 a fearful scene w ith Aunt Maria the next morning. She stormed and expostulated, but I remain ed firm in my resolve to return Dick's rinand presents that very day. Accordingly I spent a couple of hoars in trying over and packing them np. After luncheon Aunt Maria announced her intention of visiting socuo pension ers of hers in a village about three miles distant and ordered me to accompany her, which I prepared to do with a very ba 1 grace, I fear. We walked for about half an hour without exchanging a word, and a more thoroughly ill temjicred pair of pedes trian could hardly have been found anywhere. Our way led through some fields, and on reaching the first gate I noticed a man leaning against it. As we cams np he opened it for us and politely raised his huL lie looked like a gentleman and was dressed in a well fitting suitcf blue serge. I saw that he was a stranger and wondered where he came from, as strangers were rare in our secluded part of the world. A little way further on I looked back and observe! that he was following as. He overtook as before we reached the next gate, passed as and opened this one also, again lifting his hat as we went by. I thoaght this rather o 11, but having resolved not to speak to Aunt Maria until she ade'ressed me I held my peace. At the 'ii-rJ gate the same performance was repeated, but tbij time the stranger did not fall behind. lie walked to Aunt Maria's side and asked : "May I ofiV yoa my arm ? "Certainly not, sir," was the indignant rejoinder. ' I have not the honor of your acquaintance, aor do I desire it," "At least yoa will permit me to carry your umbrella," continued the stranger unabashed. Aunt Maria merely snorted, and clutch icg her umbrella more firmly marched on at an increased pace. "Is there no little service yoa will al low me to render yoa ? pursued our un welcome companion in tragic tones. "Go away, sir !'' said my aunt furious ly. "We do not wish for your company." Yoar having spoken to as at all is a piece of the most unwarrantable imper tinence." "Do not drive ma from yoa," mas the reply. "I love yoa. I have loved yoa from the first moment I saw yon, Yoa are the only woman I have ever loved." And with these words this most extra ordinary individual threw himself on his knees right in Aunt Maria's path. At this point light broke in upon me. There was a large private lunatic erset ESTABLISHED 1827. asylum in the neighborhood. This must surely be one of the patients who had eluded the vigilance of his keepers and escaped. "Ilea mad," I whispered to Aunt Ma ria. "For goodness sake humor him or he will runnier us both. I have always heard they must be humored." Aunt Maria, however, paid no attention and I almost doubt if she even heard me. "Let me pass this instant, sir." sh gasped, crimson with wrath. "Never ! never ! till yoa promise to be mine!" At this point, I icgret to say, my aunt lost her temper altogether, ai.d raising her umbrella she brought it down on her suitor's head with such force that she quite crushed in the top of the bowl er hat be wore, and which fortunately protected his skull. For a moment lie seemed petrified with astonishment. Then he sprang to his feet, and seizing Aunt Maria in his arms lifted her bodily from the ground and carried her along the path. She struggled violently, and I followed, screaring for help. The lunatic strode on until he reached the gate which ltd into a field, on one side of which ran a rather hign stone WklL Upon the top of this wall he placed my unfortunate aunt and then stood and calmly surveyed her. "Take me down! Let me go!" she shrieked. "Not till I have your promise to mar ry me," replied the lunatic. "I am quite prepared to remain here until to-morrow morning if need be," he added with great coolness. "Oh, aunt, do say 'Yes,'" I implored, but at this our persecutor turned upon me. "Will yoa uaye the goodness not to interfere V he said, s fiercely that I was terrified and shrank back. For about 10 minutes Aunt Maria sat on that wall and raved. Then she burst into tears. At this juncture I perceived a man's figure in the distance. Was be coming this way ? Oh, joy, he was ! as he drew nearer I saw to my mingled delight and dismay that it was Dick, and seeing that the lunatic Lad his back to me I ran to meet him. "Oh, Dick !" I shouted as I came up to him, "we have been so terribly frighten ed by a madman ! He has put Aunt Ma ria on the wall and says she can't get down until she promises to marry him. Io come and save her !" Dick ran quickly to the spot, and the lunatic turned and faced him. "Yoa rascal!" cried Dick. "Stand back and let me take the lady oil the wall." "You shall not touch her," said the lunatic fiercely. Dick took him by the coat collar and flung him aside with such force that he stumbled and fell. The next instant Dick had lifted Aunt Maria safely to the ground. He had scarcely done so w hen the madman leaped upon him, and a ter rific struggle folio ed. Suddenly I saw the luuatic place his hand in the breast of his coat, and the next instant there was a flash of steel. He had drawn a knife. "Oh, Dick ! oh, my dariing ! I scream ed, "he will kill you!" In that moment I forgot our quarrel. I forgot everything except that 1 loved him better than anything in the world and that he was in peril of his life, and rushing forward I grasped the madman's arm and hung on to it with all my weight. Aunt Maria screamed lustily for ttlp, and as I spun round with the combatants I caught sight of two men running across the field. Aid was near, so I clinched my teeth and held oa like grim death. Inafew sucuniis it seemed like an eternity to me the men were oa the spot, and after a brief struggle the lunatic was secured and disarmed by the two keepers, w ho had been searching for him ail day. As for me, the danger being over, I prompt ly fainted away. When I came to myself Dick was kneeling beside me, supporting me ia his arms. "Are you all right ?" he asked anxioos- ir- "Yes," I replied with a smile. We all three walked home together, and Dick dined with us that evening. Af erward, when I accompanied him into the hail to bid him good night, Le asked, as he held me ia his arms. "Tell me, Daisy, would yoa have been sorry if that fellow had killed me to day ?" "Don't talk about it dearedt," I an swered, with a shuider. "It would have broken my heart." "Then you cannot live without ma after ail ?" I leaned agiinst his breast in silence, and he kissed me very tenderly. Dick and I have never quarrelled since and I do not believe we shall ever quar rel a,'ain as long as we live. X.

A certain local professor on one oc casion was lecturing to his cla-s cn the means of diagnosing disease by the ex ternal appearance, face and other details of the patient Kiprseing his belief that a patient before the class afforded an example of the practice in question, the professor said to the individual : "Ah, yoa are troubled with kouL" "No, sir,'' said the man. "I've never had any such complaint. "But," said the professor, "your father must have had gout." "No, sir," was the reply, "nor my mother either.' "Ah, very strange," said the professor to his class. "I am convinced that this man is a gouty subject. I see that his front teeth show all the characteris tics which we are accustomed to note in gout." "Front teeth ."' ejaculated the patient. "Yes," retorted the profesior. "I'm convinced my diagnosis is correct. You have gout, sir !" " Well, that beats everything," replied the man. "It's tLe first time, sir, I've ever heard of false teclh having the goat. I've had this set for the last tea years !" London Tu-Bitt. The luscious bivalve is evidently Mary land's oyster.

First Lieutenant II. L- Hawthorne, U. S. A. Military Instructor at the Ma?sa chotetts Institute of Technology, is in high dudgeon, says a dispatch from Bos ton, and has applied to be relieved from duty as professor of mi'itary science nd sent Lack to his regiment, the Fourth Artillery. It has been known for some time that there was trouble at the Insti tute, and that Lieutenant Hawthorne re fused to drill the students, but just what that trouble was didn't come out till to day. Lieutenant Hawthorne is sensi tive. He is from Kentucky, and for a long time has been connected with the Fourth Artillery. In the battle of Wounded Knee a bullet from a Sioux rille drove the works of his watch far into his body The wound healed, but became trouble some, and finally being advised to seek first-clda medical aid, the lieutenant came to the Massachusetts General Hos pital. The operation performed there was delicate, but was successful, the sur geons finding one of the watch wheels near the spine. The discovery of the wheel in the lieu tenant's body excited the risibies of the students whenever the matter was men tioned, and when the junior classmen, who published the Techni jue, the Insti tute magazine, made the lieutenant the subject of a satire, he hotly resented it and asked the faculty to expel the edi tors. Tne "acuity refused to do so, and the lieutenant asked to be relieved. Some of the boys have hinted that the officer's technical lectures on Hannibal, Cesar, Napoleon and other great gener als and their wars were just a bit tedious, so in the last number of the Technique they got back at the lieutenant in a mxk examination paper. One of the questions in this paper was : "What are the three greatest battles of history ? ' The answer to this was, "Watterloo, Gettysburg and Wounded Knee." Then followed kindred questions, ring ing in "Wounded Knee" at the end of every answer. Wounded Knee was con spicuous all through the paper, but the question mast olleasive to the lieuten ant Waj: "If a lieutenant in the regular army should have a watch shot into him what would you call it, 'time flies' or 'a watch on the spine 7 " There were a lot more references, more or loss personal, and when the lieutenant's attention w as call el to the paper he took the matter before the faculty. He Las held the place of military instructor for nearly three years. Kisse3 by Mail. A postmaster of a village postoilice was hard at work when a-gentle tap was heard upon the door, and in stepped a beautiful maiden of sixteen with a money order, w hich she desired cashed. She handed it to the official with a bash ful smile, who, after closely examining it, ban led her the money it called for. At the same time Le asked her if she had read what was written on the mar gin ot the order. "No, I have not," she replied, "for I could not make it out. Will yoa please read it tor me ?" The postaiister read as follows : "I send you three dollars an ! a dozen kiA5t-3. Glancing at the bashful girl he sail : "Now I have paid you the money and I supr.se you want the kisses." "Yes," she sail, if he sent me any kisaes I want them, too. It is hardly necessary t say that the balance of the order was promptly paid, and in asciectiSe manner at that, and eminently satisfactory to the couLtry maiden, f a she went oat of the oil'K-e smacking hei lips as if there was a ttte upon tiieta she had never encountered before. When s!ic arrived home she remarked : "F.a, mother, but th's posiolluo sys tem of ours is a great thing, developing more and more every year, and each new feature added seenu to be tlia best.

"I La I a friend up in North Dakota," he went on, "who sent to Ohio for a Gordon setter and expected to have some fine hunting with him. In March I stepped over ia his town one day and went up to his house to see him. Goitig up the lawn I noticed one of the Lest specimens of terra cotta work I ever saw. It was a dog standing near tt e front door, and it was so natural I al most spoke to him as I went inside. After awhile I spoke to my friend about the specimen.

A prominent Methodist clergyman, who now resides in Saa Francisco, tells this incident, which occurred in a Pull man sleeper, while riding through Iowa. As the train passed over the State line into Iowa, a seal was pat oa the liquor sideboard in the buJet, and the clergyman, wishing to test the enforce ment of the prohibition law, called the porter and asked him if he could get a little whisky. "Oh, yea, sah," said the porter. "And how abont a little wine V ask ed the minister. "I think I can fix yoa, sah," was the whispered reply. "But," continued the reverend gentle man, "how about prohibition in the State of Iowa?" "Oh," said the porter, with a knowing wink, "we always pick our men, sah." .Son jVustciico ArjoitnuL The Supreme Court has decided that ager beer is not a spirituous liquor. Hera. That 3oy "Bob."

Before I coald ring the bell toe small boy pulled the front door open and popped out. "You Mabel's young man?" he asked, with an abruptness that took my breath away. "Is Miss Mabel in?" I asked with freezing dignity. He leered at me out ( his left eye, stuck his tongue ia Lis cheek and whirl ed three times around on his left heel be fore saving : "That's what she is.

Bob bounds down the step3 and disappears around the house, but thrusts his head out to say : How sweet you are ; oh my, you dear little thing!

Tuey were hand in hand, little, s'i:u, dirty hiadi an i every fetture bespoke want and misery; the bleak autuma wiadi swept tlown the sireit and seemed to chill the shivering children as they stood there all desolate, among that great harrying happy throng. A big policeman noticed them and asked what they wanted there. Tae elder one raised his lar'e pleading eyes to Liia and sai I : "A boy told as that this was the great White City," and we want to g in." "You have no money to go ia there, child," the officer said. ' What do you want ia there?" The little four-year old girl nudged the boy aril whispered : "You tellJiui mie." "No, you teil." Then as she twisted her s'.en ler Carets over an 1 over each other nervously and looked down she said : "Ma's dea l, and sue mast bo in there.

A Sunday School Guess. A small boy from the slums had been brought into the mission school and for a couple of Sundays he had been in structed in the rudiments. Oa the third Sunday he brought with him his brother William. To test bis memory the teach er began to go over the previous lessons. "Who made yoa?" she asked. "God," replied he promptly. "And what else did God make ?" The youngster studied a moment and looked around hopelessly tili he noticed his brother, then his face brightened. i "tie made fciil, too, 1 guess, ne an-Ca-ered, and William said : "loubet. Not Honest. The old man pondered long and deeply. "My son," he said at length, in a deep, solemn, hollow voice, "yoa have always thought yourself the offspring of poor but honest parenta." The youth turned pale. "Father," he gasped, "canj it be that yoa are rich after ad ?" The patriarch's head sank upon his bosom. "Boy," Le exclaimed, "yoa Lave ar rived at an aire when yoa should be de ceived no longer." Leading the way to the attic, with trembling, eager hands he removed a few loose boirds and showed his child how he made the gas meter lose cou ple of hundred feet every month. WHOLE NO. 2280 Introducing a Lecturer. One of those F.ng'.ish customs which wculd be more honored ia the breach that in the observance ia that of pre senting a lecturer to the audience by a chairman. This nnneveraary presiding officer, having read up on the subject, ' rises to say a few worl9 of introduc tion," and sometimes anticipates some of the lecturer's best points. Ia an English village a loquacious squire and a garrulous rector both in troduced a lecturer, sal their "few words" occupied nearly all the time which had been allotted to the lecture. The lecturer, however, was equal to the occasion. He spoke about twenty urin ates, and then, looking at his watch, said : "Indies and gentlemen, I most now leave that I may catch my train, but I will a.-'k your penui.-wion befre I de part to sugrest for your consideration an occurrence which took place on board a sti-ail American vessel.

Me and my mate does:' and the captain cut the padding in two, giving one end to the mate and appropriating the other." The audi ence saw the point, and heartily ap plauded. An Englishman, a temperance lecturer, was invited to speak on total abstinence. Being nobody in particular, he was placed last on the list of speakers. The chairman also introduced several speak ers w Lose names were not on the list, and the audience were tired out, when he said : "Mr. Bailey will now give as his address."
