THE FAQUIR'S CURSE, Mm. Richardson was tired; there was a pucker between her eyebrows that betokened perdexity as she bent above the Rridiron to turn the chicken.

Frank favored her with a look full of commiseration for such Ignorance. "A faquir, my unsophisticated maiden, is a very holy being, who performs no work, owns no superior, despises everybody and everything, and benefits the community by tying Lis wrists to his feet, spreading saw dust along ills backbone, and trun dling himself along like a cart-wheel for a couple ot hundred miles or so. Of course every one is anxious to have the honor of intertalning a man so holy as to roll into thnir presence aounieil up like a hoop. ,o at a vast expense the proprietors of the 'Mu see' have secured this wonderful creature of whom I speak, and for 'positively one week only' he may be seen by the elite of Omaha, in daily exhibitions In the curio hall." "What does he look like?" asked Genevieve. "Well, his personal attractions are indeniable. His eyes are encircled by bands of white paint, his cheeks are a rich mustard yellow, a white 6treak decorates the bridge of his nose, and another surrounds his tuouth. He is dressed in a (lowing green and yellow robe, none too clean, and he carries a pair of tongs, with a brass dish at the end of them for the Bifts his admirers bt-stow upon him." j "What did you give him. Frank?" Idalia curiously asked. Frank laughed uproariously. "I had Genevieve's carbolic ball in y pocket, and I stepped upon a chair and snapped It under his nose. Ho suec.ed so violently that the tongs flew half way across the room; and as Soon as he could speak he pronounced ( a curse upon me in excellent En- Blish, too." 'What was the curse?" said Ger- trudo. "That I should be shorn of rn lory or something to that effect that everything I most valued would be taken from me; that I should wither frotu the face of the earth, root and branch." And the irrepres sible young man drew down the cor ners of hU mouth and tried to lool Crave, "Your glory! That means your intest acquisition, of course," Gen evieve commented, with a glance at the silky black mustache on Frank's upper lip. "What would you do, Frank, if that faquir should trundle himself out here some night, and in the morning you missed your mus tache?" "Advertise in the Herald," an swered Frank, unhesitatingly. "Let the subject drop, mv son," said his mother, wearily. "Will you have a doughnut?" "Do not be cross, mot berk In," the JCaneirrHee said, as he helned himself liberally and passed the plate on to Gertrude, wh bit her lips to keep from laughing. Pleasanter people than Mr. and .Ira.

Confession is good for the soul, so make a clean breast of it, Genevieve I'ercy." "There is a greater void In youi head than on your lip if you think I had anything to do with it" retorted Genevieve, scornfully. "I was asleep before the clock struck 11. Beside, 1 am not fond of having freaks around me, and you are more of a curiosity now than the faquir himself." "It serves you right; for that babli. of going to sleep on the sofa instead of retiring properly is most abaurd," said Idalia, her beautiful eyes alight revenge for that sneeze." The whole family joined in hei merry laughter and the room rang with peals of mirth. "1 advise a shave, Frank," said Gertrude, maliciously. "After lunch we'll go down to the Musee and look for your must-ache." "On my soul, I believe you were all in the conspiracy!" exclaimed Frank, as he swallowed his coffee, and then, seizing bis hat, rushed off to the nearest tonsorial parlors. The usual throng surrounded the rostrum that afternoon as the quar. ; tette entered the curio hall But the faquir was evidently on the lookout J for them. A smile made his paint . besmeared face more hideous tha n before, as he extended the tongs ' toward Frank. The girls pressed close behind him, and, looking over I his shoulder, saw two Jagged bits of black hair reposing calmly in the brass dish. j Frank turned to look Into Uer , trude's crimson face, and an expres sion of enlightenment dawned in his eyes. "Ah! The flirtation the Inno cent package I think I undersold,' he said in her ear. "What will the j Bruce say?" "You won't tell?" gasped Gertrude, her self possession deserting her In this crisis, and her eyes drooping be- neath the astonished gaze of Gene vieve and Idalia. "I'll hear your confession first," said Frank enjoying her confusion. "Will you, indeed?" plucklly. Then you'll wait a long time, and I have nothing to fear. A promts if a promise." Not a syllable could Frank get out of her, although he tormented her j with questions all the way borne. As for Idalia and Genevieve, nevet i having been iu her confidence, they ' were utterly dumfounded at the denouement, for they had be . lieved some of Frank's madcap friends the perpetrators of the joko : until they looked into the faquir' brass dish. Gertrude told them all about it thai, night. In the supposed faquir she 1 had recognized a vagabond quarry nmn who used lo blast in the quar ries near Dysan Hollow some years previous. Thu scheme had instantly Hashed through her brain, and, snatching a Luonieut when 6he was unobserved, she scribbled a few lines on a leaf torn from her note book, and wrapping it around a gold dollar dropped it into the dish. Obedient to instructions, the faquil nad entered the house by the un latched door, aud finding everything as represented Frank sound asleep on the sofa and a pair of scissors on 1 the hat-rack lost no time In per forming his appointed task and tak- inf bis departure. The trip to the of the ' usee next day was a part 1 plan, but Gertrude had not counted on such swift detection.
