It wan nt the Liverpool railway station
tat Ird Kildonan confronted his wife'

and Cromnont. the sickly light of a flick-

figure, on what could be seen of his face.
'
The words froze on their guilty lips; the
blood icnjed up, and then seemed to stag
nate in their veins as the cold eyes pierced
them. Crosmont stopped, and stared np.
s still as a dead man. shattered, "Con

Lady Kildonan, with a hoarse and broken
shriek that rang in hideous echoes
through the huge bare station, staggered
back. back, with starting eyes and strug
gling breath, until, before they could stop
her. before they had even time to realize,
the danger she was in. she reached the
edge of the platform, and with a last fatal
backward step, fell with a moan on the
tnetats. I-ord Kildna sprang down ue
young man. lifted her in his arms, and
.tared into her face. When Armathwaite
Joined him, the old Scotchman's face was
all broken up with passionate anxiety, hia
voice broken and weak as a child.
"I have not killed her, Frank, have I?
Ppeak, boy, speakr he said in a husky
whisper, as he lifted the head that buuff
limp and powerless on hia shoulder.
Armathwaite, whose professional In
stinct had given him back all his calm atj
-fhc-Tnomeni'of "the acciiTeut, kk,leJ at
her, touched her.
'o.r he said, briefly; "she is not dead.
We must get her on to the platform!
Crpsmntt"
This call to the yonng man. who was
still standing like a statue with dull eyes
nd leaden limbs, woke him to lite anu
raise
lotion He would have helped to
the prostrate woman, but Ixrd Kildonan,
lu his coldest, harshest tone, forbade him
t touch her. The latter, with the assist
ance of Armathwaite. lifted her on to the
platform just as. the lirauksome train
steanu-tl slowly up towards them. Frank
suggested that -!e ought to remain in
Liverpool that night-that it would be
dangerous for her to travel. Her bead
hud fallen on the metals: no one could tell
yet what injury she had sustained. Lord
Kildonan was immovable.
"She must go home!" he said, briefly.
"And if it should Will her. my lord?"
"We rail still perhaps save her reputa
tion," said Lord Kildonan injiia co!dvsl
tone.
But he was deeply moved. He never
took his eyes off his wife's white face as
they carr.ed her into a comiwirtmeut and
laid her ou the seat. Crosmont still stood
on the platform, and Armathwaite went
ha. k to him, ami, lu-J his band on hia
arm.
The agent was shivering like a man
with ague.
"Come." said Armathasite, "you must
.come baek with us."
"No, 1141," said Crosmont. hoarsely.
After some few moments' appeal, warn
ing him that Lady Kildoiiau was per
liaps dying, the doctor induct d him to take
tiis pla. e in the next compartment to that
in which the huslii'.nd and wife, weirdly
reunited, were traveling. Then, after ex
acting a promise from the agent that he
would not try to escape, lie rejoiued ljrd
Kildonan and the unconscious woman.
It was a terrible return journey. Mur
ing all tlie four cold, monotonous hours
Lady Kildonan lay almost without move
ment, from time to time muttering a lew
words to herself incohereut'.y. or opening
ber ey-'s with the blank stare of a doll,
only "to close thcm again automatically
without having taken in nny impression.
At seven o'clock ou the raw February
morning, the train steamed into Hrank
sotne station. The stoppage roused Lady
Kildonan: she struggled up and looked
vacantly about her. muttering incoherent
ly that it was getting light that she
should tie late but without noticing her
companions. Frank put her veil over her
face and fastened it for her. to which
she made no opos:tiin. And she accept
ed his suggestion to "take his arm. and al
lowed him to had her through the station,
apparently unconscious that it was her
husband who was supporting her 'jtter-
. ing footsteps on the other side, hue turn
ed instinctively in the direction of the
house where Anne Matthews lived, and
at the opening of the little street they
" foui. l a small covered cart waiting with
the woman who bad been her treacherous
accomplice inside it. Armathwaite recog
nized her at once, and saw first that she
looked a little ashamed of herself, and sec
ondly that she was seriously alarmed and
re norseful when she saw how ill the lady
locked. They lifted her into the cart;
' Ia)1 Kildonan took his place beside her,
and insisted on Annathwiiite's coming
will, them, that lie might prt scribe for her
in bis medical capacity ou reaching the
Crags.
Anne Matthews, who drove herself,
tc tied at the bottom of the private path
to The Crags, as was her custom; and
the two gentlemen led Lady Kildonan,
who was now growing excited and fever
ish, up the hill, through the private gate,
which wns open, and into the house by
that entrance of which Lord Kildonau
' bad faiicicd that he alone had a key. It
opened upon a narrow private staircase,
T.-itb another locked door at t'ie top, by
vhit'u thy were able to reach Lnily Kii
Ainan's apartments unobserved by any
body ticrpt her ladyship's maid.
With he assistance of this woman,
Ia.Iy Kildonan was put to In-d, much
agpiiiKt her will. Armathwaite told Iird
Kildouun that she was suffering from con
cessit. n of t'ie I ain. and after remaining
.th her jlxmt an hour, at the end of
- -jrhicU time she had sunk into a wordless
stupor, he left her to the care of her hus
acd and the maid, and promising to re
tiiu in a couple of hours, walked back
ujekf -toTv.TJs Mereside. He was nnx
ioux about Crosmont. anxious also to find
cut how this terrible event would affect
tne agents wife.
By tue time he reached the agent'

looked at the handle with a pale, fright

the truth. Not having been prepared for

Kv-ur to Alma that death could come ao

lose to him with rapid steps, thinking
that he was lost in miserable brooding,
put her arm round his shoulders, and tried
to draw him to her. kindly, comfortingly.
His head had rolled heavily against her
breast.
"Ned. Ned. never mind," she whispered,
feeling, with a thrill through her gentle
he.-i.-t. !i.at fit ibe moment she had
expected had come, when ha did not re
pulse her. when he was glad of her sym
pathy; "I'll comfort yon. Ned Mi console
you. Never mind what it is. I'm sorry:
He is dead," she siiid, solemnly, raising
her ey s to the doctor's face.
Then the tears began to gather In tier
J eyes, and, bending over the dead man.
she put her lips to his forehead, not m
sorrowing love, but in pity and forgive
ness. -
"Come, come away." whispered Frank,
who saw that the struggling emotions of
horror and womanly regret and irrepressi
ble relief were trying the sensitive lady
beyond her strength.
She let hira lead her out at the door,
which Frank closed softly behind them;
but before she had made three steps along
the passage she suddenly drew away her
hand from his arm. put it up to ber head,
and, with a low cry as of a prisouer who
sees the dungeon doors flung suddcuiy
open, she reeled and fvil to the ground.
Frank gathered her up in his arms and
carried ber to the drawing room. There
he did not put ber down, but seating him
self in an armchair by the window in the
full blaze of tl,e morning sunlight, be
rocked ber for a few moments tenderly
in hia arms, as if she ha" been a child,
while his blue eye. shone with hope and
pity and yearning love.
"Poor little one," he whispered into her
deaf ears. "You are no widow; you have
never been a wife. I am wronging no
man's memory in telling you I love you.
'Ine gods will make you happy. Psyche,
for you have found your love at Inst."
As she was absolutely motionless and
silent, he snatched a passionate kiss; but
the instant his lips touched hers, the
color flowed into her face, and her brown
eyes met his with a long look that told of
the wakening of a sleeping soul. From
that moment each had a secret, known
only to themselves and to each other.
Withdrawing bis eyes from her face,
Frank raised her to her feet, and gently
withdrawing the support of his arm, said
gravely and formally:
"I think you are better now, madam.
If you will allow me to advise you, I
would suggest your remaining here, whil.
I will tell the servants what is necessary
for them to know, and prevent their dis
turbing you."
"Thank you. Yon are very kind." said
she. frigidly, with her eyes on the ground.
With a cold bow. and without another
look at her, Frank left the room. But
as he paused for a moment outside, with
glowing eyes and a yearning heart, he
heard the swift rustle of a woman's dress
across the room, and her panting breath
close to the door. So they stood for a
moment, each conscious that the other
was there, each almst able to hear the
beating of the heart of the other. But
there waa only a thin plank of wood be
tween them now, where there bad been a
barrier as wide as the whole world. And
so he went softly away to his work and
his duty, and she to the woman's part of
patiently waiting and perhaps weeping,
tor peace had come to her, not with a
glad song of praise, but with a solemn
requiem.
CHAPTER XXVI.
In the meantime Lady Kildonan was
lying utterly unconscious both of the
death of ber accomplice and victim and
of her condemnation, pronounced by her
own Hps a hundred time in the delirium
of brain fever. Her husband, who during
these long day. and nights waa scarcely
ever absent from her bedside, used to sit
listening to her and watching her with a
grave, intent face, which expressed no
sentiment harsher than the deepest pity.
When the crisis of the fever was past,
and the rick woman's .bodily health be
gan slowly to mend, it dawned upon both
her husband and the young doctor, who
had never exchanged a word since the
night of the accident except upon the med
ical aspect of the case, that ber mental
recovery was not proportionately rapid.
She would lie for hours together awake
and quite still, with her eyes fixed upon
her husband in a sort of vague surprise
at his presence, with which mingled no
shame, no annoyance, no deep interest.
Yot she knew who be waa, and replied to
his questions in a voice which grew
stronger every day, but which acquired
no deener meaning as the time went tv
At lust she was well enougL to get uv.
and to sit in her boudoir by the window,
watching the birds flying from bough to
ho- n of the still leafless tr?es in the park
outside, the little clouds sailing slowly
across the sky. and a hundred other sights
of the narrow stti'tca of wintry land
tcape which she had never" before no
ticed. Lord Kildonan. at first rather
pleased by the new Interest she showed
in the nature about her, began after a few
days to feel anxious concerning the mean
ing of the change.
"She doesn't seem at all the same worn
nn yet," he observed to the doctor ont
morning, when his wife had been bab
bling in a childish way, as if she had no
recollection of the terrible scenes through
which slie bad lately passed. "Or la It a
clever device of hers to bridge orer the
awkward ul oor intercourse, until
she jftri'll have brh for me to accuse ber
runing hook jfrangementr
millenial dawn " "'Ltf, xtrf
tdviae you to fir tip P
thougnts ot coming to a dear understand
ing with her yet."
As the days passed on. however, and
still, while ber limbs regained some of
their rigorT and her face much of hs
beauty. Lady Kildonan remained mental
ly In exactly the same state of childish
oblivion of everything but the occupa
tion of the moment, both her husband and
the doctor agreed, reluctantly enough,
1I11M sonne attempt must be made to bring
her back to reason and remembrance. Ar
mathwaite. therefore, on the occasion of
one of his visits about three weeks after
the accident, led the oyiversation in such
a manner as to introduce the name of Ned
Crosmont.
"Oh, yes," she said, smiling, "I haven't
seen Ned to-day. But he is going to drive
me iuto Branksome this afternoon to get
some new tennis balls."
Armathwaite laid hia band upon her
arm. "Listen to me. Lady Kildonan." he
said, rery gravely, foreseeing already that
VJ" words would have little effect; "I have
something very sad to tell you about Mr.
Crosmont. He is UU seriously ill."
She looked with a child-like stare into
his face and shook ber head.
"Oh, no, yon have been misinformed."
he said confidently, as if after a mo
ment's though. "I saw him yesterday
no, this morning at any rate, quite re
cently, though I can't remember for the
moment exactly when It was," she added,
holding ber hand to ber forehead and look
ing rather puzzled. "But he's quite well,
I know."
He made a few more efforts to bring her
memory back, but quite In vain; toe ter
rible 'events which had bad such fatal
consequences both to ber and Crosmont
bad faded out of her mind so utterly that
not even a vague sense as of an evil
dream remained behind.
So her punishment, tragic as it seemed
to the onlookers, fell lightly upon ber.
Her buoyant animal nature, shaken free,
by "he shock she bad sustained, of the
vice which had been her ruin, Jelped her
to bear her affliction with the resignation
of a lame dog, who, forgetting quick.y
the ensation. of the old day. when he
scoured the fields after rabbits, and leap
ed up joyously as high as hia master's
sho'ild-r, takes quietly to the peaceful
joy. of the warm hearth and the sunny
doorstep, and dozes the. XSiaiit6prv! Jiis
life away ifl e&"lifTitbie content.
The person on whom the Bhock of Ned
Crosin nt'a death fell the heaviest was
I'ncle Hugh. When the tidings reached
him. togtther with an account of Lady
Kildonan' rather mysterious illness, he
came baik to Branksome in the greatest
anxiety and remorse, believing that a let
ter he had written to Ixrd Kildonan had
been the cause of both misfortunes. The
old Scjtchman, who received him very
kindly, assured hrm that his suspicions
had been roused long before the letter
reached him, and advised him to turn his
attention to comforting the young widow.
But there were difficulties in the way of
this. He would have taken her back with
him to her friends lu Iondon, away from
the scene, of her short, but unhappy mar
ried life: but Alma, once so anxious to go
away, now raised unexpected obstacles
to this course. It would make public the
fact that ber marriage was a failure, she
said. Besides, she must wait until his
affairs were settled, and she preferred se
clusion for a tittle while before facing
the curious inquiries of her old friends.
So Uncle Hugh, disappointed lu his wish
to carry off his "little one," and resolved
not to have his journey for nothing, ob
tained a promise from Millie that she
would marry him within two months, 'on
condition that the wedding should be a
very quiet one.
This promise, at the end of the appoint
ed time, she faithfully carried out; and
Mrs. Peeie. who had never held up ber
kead with her old majesty since Lord
Kildonan pat her to the humiliation of
having to five up the stolen papers, soon
after made np her mind to leave Brank
some for London, In order to be near her
daughter.
Armathwaite was thus left alone In the
little nouse; but though be missed Millie,
of whose sisterly companionship be bad
grown very fond, he was not dull, for he
had taken it into bi. head to refurnish
and decorate the place according to cer
tain ideas of bia own, and this occupa
tion, to a man of H mated income and fas
tidious tsste, afforded amusement and in
terest for some time. The purchase of
a horse, too, besides the late doctor's cob.
was an extravagance which required de
liberation: but there was an animal in
the neighborhood which Frank waa bent
on possessing, and after a few weeks the
covoted beasts held a place in bis stable.
CHAPTER XXVII.
It was the beginning of August when
Alma, who, with the recovery of her
health and spirits, began to feel ber nat
ural feminine coquetry awakening, decid
ed that the first Ice of their decorous es
trangement might now be broken. One
ecorobrag afternoon, when Armathwaite
returned home, tired and dtiety from his
day's work, he was Informed by the ser
vant that a little girl wss waiting to see
him In the surgery, and that Mrs. Cros
mont was with her. Frank's heart leaped
up. He seised a Hot bee brush and began
to brush himself violently, as much to
gain time to conquer this horrible chok
ing nervousness aa because be was reluc
tant to enter ber presence with the work
aday dust of the roads upon him. When
he entered the surgery he was particu
larly calm and sedate, with "rising young
medical practitioner with a character to
keep up" writ large all over him.
Alma waa sweet and grave and tran
quil, but had a brighter color in her cheeks
than Fran& had ever before seen there,
and In the front of her dress she wore a
white rose, which the young man chose
fatuooely to think was a very good sign.
She had brought one of the village dhil
tren to nave a scaJaea arm oresatti, ana
1. the child screamed and struggled, snd
xwk np all their attention until the opera
don was successfully accomplished, the
irst part of the interview passed off
without any feeling of awkwardness on
lther side. As soon, however, as the
rirl found her arm bandaged and releas
ed, she darted to the door and made her
scape like a wild thing, without a word
f thanks to either of her benefactors.
They looked at each other and laughed.
Toor little thing! She isn't much
tamer than a squirrel. She was rushing
bout the road crying, and it waa a bard
task to persuade her to come with me at
ill," said Alma, moving in ber turn to
ward the door.
But Frank stepped hurriedly across the
room before her.
"I wish, Mrs. Crosmont, now that yon
ire here, you would do me the pleasure
sf looking into the drawing room. I have
made some changes there. I should so
much like to hear what you think about
them."
Ahuahetated and then turned back
with a smile.
"I will see it. certainly, If you wish,"
she said, gently.
So Frank led the way into the drawing
room, which had been Indeed transform
ed. The violent colors, the tatting anti
macassars, the wax flowers under glass
shades of Mrs. Peele's regime, bad disap
peared, whjle in their place were harmo
nious tints and soft fabrics, aod bowls
lull of freshly cut flowers.
. "Why Dr. A rasa th waits, ) am ort tor
ffis credit or my sex. It looks aa if sots'
woman roust have helped you." said Al
ma, aa she looked with admiration round
the pretty room.
"Some woman has helped me." said be,
la a meek, small voice.
She was not curious, or perhaps she
didn't hear.
"And do yon always have the place
filled with these beautiful flowers?"
"Always."
"Ah. yon pass your evenings here, of
course?"
."Xever. I scarcely sit here aa hour In
the ween."
"Then why all this extravagance with'
beautiful flowers, which only get wasted T
Are they for visitors?"
"For cne visitor. I wanted the room to
be always ready for that one whenever
she should come."
Oh, they were so quiet about It as
quiet aa mice she with her tremulous
whisper, and he with his husky ejacula
tion, and Frank knew that Alma was only
carrying out her destiny, snd that, like
the heroine of the opera that ber father
had nursed in his heart of hearts for years
before she was born, she bad come out
victorious from her contest with the beau
ty of the senses, and that, having found
the love she bad longed for, ber fancy
had no need to reach out to shadows for
comforts, for her soul had found rest.

Many of the violent changes which

produce effects that are distinctly and

a large number of earthquakes came
from the deep sea off tbe mouth of the
Tonegawa, tbe largest of the Japanese
rivers. The river brings down alluvial
detritus which Is deposited on the brink
of a deep hollow In the ocean, and from
time to time the accumulated deposit
slides into tbe depths, shaking not only

A PECULIAR EXPLOIT.
Tewed Large Turtle Twelve
Threaten, the Water.
Jim Westover, a youngster of 21. and
a rider of the "bike," is the bera In the
region about Mayport. Fla.. Just at
present over the capture of a huge tur
tle tbe other night on the bench. West
aver bad been down on tbe beach tak
ing a spin and also td see about some
cows In a pasture at Six-Mile Point.
He had a rope about fifty feet long that
be took with him to do some measuring
on some camp meeting lots. Knowing
that this was tbe time for turtlvs to be
paying their esgs, they affecting moon
light nights for such exrrclee. be kept
a sharp lookout for them. Just after
jiasslng Pab'.o he saw tbe big outlluc
pf something black up tbe beach.
"Iiv Jimmlnv " ulil Jim r.ndpr hi.
I breath, "that'a a dog-goned big un, too."
Hiding r- slowly, he soon came near
the big turtle, which was too busy lay
ing eggs to notice J ten's noiseless ap-
f roach. Jim cogitated over tbe matter
or a few minutes and then, taking his
rope, carefully fastened It to tbe tur
tle's fr it flipper and drew the rope
tight .0 sooner did the turtle feel
this) than It started tin and wlg'.ed to
ward tha water. Jim mourned his
wheal and triad to ride off tbe other
way. Jrm pedaled and pedaled, but
could not move tbe old fellow. Tbe
turtle seemed to bare the best of the
bargain and pulled the unwilling
Wheelmen to the water's edge. Jim was
getting anxious. As the turtle entered
(be water be started up tbe beach
alongside the water's edge, trying to
pet new pull on his capture.
To his great surprise and delight be
found that be had tbe turtle foul. Tbe
ld fellow was at borne In the water,
but having his right flipper caught by
the tow rope he was powerless to run
away, and fight as bard as be could be
could not escape. Jim started up the
beach as near the waiter's edge as he
could ride, and began to tow tbe turtle
to Mayport. Tbe turtle-naturally cJ
jected and sheered out to sea. - But tbe
tope being attached to his landsidc
flipper H kept him at Just the right dis
tance from the shore and he towed as
easy as a log, as Jim said afterward.
Once In a while be got obstreperous
and twice Jim fell Into tbe water, but

aroused tbe neighbors, who came o
nee what was up. They wonld not be
lieve that Jim bad towed the turtle for
twelve miles in this way, until be show
ed them the rope and then to show off
towed the big fellow up and In front
of the town for a few turns. And the
turtle had gotten used to It now and
kept Just far out enough to make tow
ing easy. When be saw Jim turn to
m back, after going np the bank a
little ways, the turtle turned around
and shifted tbe rope to his landside
flipper again, as he knew that he could
not be towed If tbe rope was on the out
side. Jim has the turtle In a crawl
near hia honse and every evening he
takes him for a tow along tbe banks.

Tkxt: "They came to meet us as fur a
A 1 i t Forum nnd the Three Taverns."
A ts xxviii., 15.
Seventeen miles south of Borne, Italy,
thero was a village of unfortuuate name
and bibulous suggestion. A tavern Is a
plane ot entertainment, and, in our time,
part of the entertainment is a provision
ot intoxicants. One snuh place you would
think would have been enough for that
Italian village. No! There were three of
them, with doors open for entertainment
nnd obfuscatiou. The world has never
lacked stimulating drinks. You remember
the condition of Noah on one occasion,
nnd of Abigail's husband, Kabul, and the
story of lSnlgbmizar's feast, and Bonhadad,
nnd the new wine In old bottles, and whole
taragrnpbs on prohibition enactment
thousands of years before Neal Dow was
bom: anil no doubt there were whole
shelves of Inflammatory liquid In these ho
tels wlii.'h gave the name to the village
whero Paul's friends came to meet him;
namely, the Three Taverns. In vain I
search ancient geography for some satis
fyinj; account of that village. Two roads
came from the sea coast to that place; the
one from Actlum and the other from I'ute
oli, the lost road being the one which Paul
traveled. There were, no doubt, in that
villngn houses of merchandise and me
chanics' shops and professionalofnces, but
nothing is known ot them. All we know of
that village is that it had a profusion of
inns the Three Taverns. Paul did not
choose any one of these taverns as the
place to meet hia friends. He certainly
was very abstemious, but they made the
selection. He had enlarged about keeping
the body under, though once he prescribed
for a young theological student a stimu
lating cordial for a stomachic di sorder;
but he told him to take only s small dose
"a little wine tor thy stomach's sake."
One of the worst things about these
Tiirei! Taverns was that they had especial
temptation for those who had just eonie
ashore. People who had just Inn. led at
A'rtiurn or Putcoli were soon tempted by
these three hotels, which were only a little,
way up from tho beach. Those who are
disordered of thesea (for it is a physl-'ul
disorgnnizer), instead of waiting for tho
gradual return ot physical erpdpoise. are
apt to take nrtittcial means to bra.'e up.
Of the one million sudors now on the sea,
how few of them coining ashore will escape
the Tlir?e Taverns! After surviving hurri
canes, cyolon.s, ieeliergs, collisions, many
of titeni are wrecked in harbor. I warrant
that if a calcuiution were inadu of the com-
arative number of sailors lost at sea and
ost ashore, those drowned by the crimson
wave of dissipation would far outnumber
those drowned by the salt water.
Alas! that the large majority of those who
go down to the sea in ships should have
twice to pass the Three Taverns, namely:
llefore they gc out and after they come in.
That fa.'t was what aroused Father Taylor,
the grat sailors' preacher, at the Sailors
itetliel. lSoston, aud at a public meeting al
Charlestown he said, "All the machinery ol
the drunkard-making, soul-dcstroyins
business is in perfect running order, from
the low grog holes on the docks, kept oper
to ruin my poor sailor boys, to the great
establishments in Still House Square, ami
n we ask men what is to be done about
svaey say 'you can't help it,' and yet
- w.. is I?;. " - - W"l . tI - u. n,i v r.J ftl! ,
stop it: ill i up there are Lexington and
Concord." We might answer Father Tay
lor's remark by saying, "The trouble is not
that we can't stop It, but that we won't
stop it." We must have more generation!
slain before the world will fully wake up tc
the evil. Tbat which tempted tbe travel
ers of old who came np from the seaports
of Actium and Puteoll is now the ruin o:
seafaring men as they come up from tht
coasts of all the continents, namely, tht
Three Taverns.
There are streets In some of our citiej
where there are three or four taverns ot
every block; aye, where every other hous
is a tavern. You can take the Arabic num
eral of my text, the three, and put on tht
right hand side of it one cipher, and tw
otphers, and four ciphers, and that re-tn
forcement of numerals will not express thf
statistics of American rummerics. Even 11
it wero a good, healthy business, supplying;
a necessity, an article saperbly nutritious
it is a business mightily overdone, anc
there are three taverns where there oughf
to be only one.
The fact is, there are, in another sense
Three Taverns now; the gorgeous taverr
tor the affluent, tbe medium tavern for thi
working classes, and the tavern of tht
slums, and they stand in line, and man)
people, beginning with tbe first, com
down, through the second, nnd come out
at tbe third. At the first of the three tav
erns, the wines are of celebrated vintage,
nnd the whiskies are said to be pure, ami
they are qualfod from cut glass, at nmrl.lt
aide-tables, under pictures approaching
master-pieces. The patrons pull off theli
kid gloves, and l and t'teirsllk hats to tht
waiter, and pusu baei their hair with a
ba 1 on one linger of which is a cameo.
...it those patrons are apt to stop visiting
that place. It is not the money that a man
pays for drinks, tor what area few hundred
or a f.'W thousand dollnrs to a man of large
income; but their brain gets touched, and
that unbalances their judgment, and the.;
ean see fortunes in enterprises surcharged
with disaster. In longer or shorter time
they change taverns, and they come down
.to tavern the second, where the pictures are
not quite so scrupulous .of suggestion and
the small table Is rougher and the castor
standing on it is of Herman silver and tht
air has iwen kept over from the night be
fore and that which they sip from the
pewter mug has a larger percentage of ben-
nine, nmt.ergr's. cr o-ote, henbane, strych
nine, priissie acid, coculns Indicus. plnstei
of paris, copperas. ap! nightshade. Tin
patron may be seen almost every day
and perhaps many times the same da
at this tavern the second, but he is pre
paring to graduate. Brain, liver, heart
nerves, are rapidly giving wav. Thnt
tavern the second tins its dismal echo in lib
business destroyed and family scattered
and woes that choke ones vocabulary.
Time passes on, and he enters tav rn the
thirt;a red light ouisi le, a hiccoughing
and hes.itted group inside. He will he
dragj.l out of doors about 2 o'clock in the
nioriiiiig and left on the sidewalk, because
the bartender wants to shut up. The pool
victim has taken the regular course in the
college of degradation. He tins his diploma
written on hlsswollen. bruised, and blot died
physiognomy. He is a regular graduate ol
the Tlire Taverns. As the police take liim
up and put him in the ambulance the wueeh
seem to rumble with two rolls of thunder
one of which snys, "Look not upon tht
wine when it is red. when it moveth itsell
aright in the cup, for at the Inst It Idleth
like n peri-ent an I stingeth like an adder.'
The otiiertliunder roll says, "All drunkard;
shall have their place in the lake that
burnetii with lire and with brimstone."
I nin gin 1 to find in this scene of t'K
text that there is such a tiling as declining
successfully great Taverninn temptations.
I can sen from what Paul sai l nnd did
lifter he had traveled the following seven
teen miles ot his journey, that he had re
ceived no damage at the Three Taverns.
How much he was temptiM I know not.
Do not suppose that he was superior to
temptation. That particular temptation
has destroyed nrany of the grandest,
mightiest, noblest statesmen, philosopher?,
heroes, cl- rgyinen," apostles of law and
niedbj.-je ami government and religion.
Paul was not physically well under any eirj
cumsianees; it was not In moeic deprecia
tion that he said he was "in LTdfly presence
weak." It seems that bis evesightvas so
poor that he did his writing through an
amanuensis. 10 be mentions it is some'
thing remarkable that his shortest Epistle.
the one to Philemon, was in bis own pen
manship, saying: "I, Paul, have written it
with my own hand.-He had lieen thrown
from his horse, he had been stoned, he
had peen endungeoned, h had had his
nerves- pulled on bv-preaohlhg at
Athens to tha uV. scholarly .an.
dience or an the earth, and at Cor
int'u to the most brilliantly profligate
assemblage, and been howled upon by the
Ephesfhn worshipers of Diana, tried for
his life before Felix, charged by FostuS
with being insane, and crawled up on the
beach, drenched In tbe shipwreck, and
much of the time had an Iron handcuff on
ills wrist, andjif any man needed stimulus,
Paul needed it, but with all his physical
exhaustion, he got post the Three Taverns
undamaged, and stepped Into Borne all
ready for the tremendous ordeal to which
he was subjected. Oil! How many mighty
men, feeling that they must brace up after
extraordinary service, and prepare them
selves for other service, havo called ou the
spirit of wine for inspiration, and in a few
years have been sacritled on the altar of a
Moloch, who sits on a throne of human
carcasses. Shall I call the names of fifty
ot the victims, tall of them Illustrious in
American history? Nol It would not lie
wise, or kind, or Christian to call their
names in public, but vou call them out of
your own memory. Oh, how many splendid
men could not get post the Three Taverns.
Long ago an arch II end arrived in our
world, and be built an Invisible cauldron
of temptation. He built that cauldron
strong and stout for all ages and ail nations.
First squeezed into the cauldron the
Juices ,t the forbidden fruit of paradise;
then he gathered for It a distillation from
the harvest fields and the orchards of tbe
hemispheres; then he poured into this caul
dron capsicum and logwood and assault and
battery and vitriol and opium nnd rum and
murder and sulphuric acid and theft and
potash and cochineal and red carrots aud
poverty and death and hops. But it was a
dry compound, and it must be moistened
and It must be liquelled, and so the nreh
fiend poured Into the cauldron tbe blood of
twenty thousand assassinations. And then
the arch fiend took a shovel that he bad
brought up frDm the furnaces beneah, and
he put the shovel into this great cauldron
and began to stir, and the cauldron began
to heave and rock and boll and sputter and
hiss and smoke, and the nations gathered
around it with cups and tankards and
demijohns and kegs, nnd there was enough
for all, and the arch fiend cried: "Aha!
Champion tlend am I! Who has done more
than I have for colllus and graveyards and
prisons and the populating of the lost
world? And when this cauldron is emptied
I'll fill it again, and I'll stir it again, and It
will smoke again, nnd that sin. ike will join
another smoke the smoke .if a torment
that oseen.leth for ever and ever. I drovo
