THE LAST OF

U,:
UICIPE during temporary In
. sauity" was the verdict of the
coroner's Jury. The facta, as
stated by Sir Henry Deane In his evi
dence, were simple enough. The de
ceased, James Burton, hud been his
valet for the iast five years; be wan an
excellent servant In every respect. For
the past ctmple of weeks Sir Heary no
ticed that Ills manner was strange, but
he did not think much of It at the time.
He knew llurton had a letter from a
cousin who was In America, and In
great poverty; tluit. might have upset
him. On the morning of the 18th Inst.
Mrs. Johnson. Sir Henry's housekeep
er, came to him lu great alarm, and
asked htm to come at once to Burton's
room. There Sir Henry .saw the de
ceased In bed, with a fearful gash
across his throat; there was a razor
lying on the tloor. Sir Henry had no
doubt that Hurton mii9t have commit
ted suicide.
Sir Henry's evidence was corrobor
ated by Mrs. .Johnson, who stated that
the deceased li:nl spoken to her about
his cousin In America, and seemed trou
bled about him. He also told Sirs.
Johnson a short time nsn that Burton's
cousin was a bit "iiueer."
Everyone sympathized with Sir Hen
ry, for it was painfully evident that the
tragic event in his household had great
ly upset him.
His doctor recommended Immediate
change of air and scene. So a couple of
days after the inquest Sir nenry's de
parture for the continent was chron
icled In the local paper; but he had his
own reasons for trolng off. Sir Henry
Deane was the last of one of the oldest,
and at one time the wealthiest, families
In the country. Reduced rents had con
siderably curtailed the wealth of the
estate, and iienple said Sir Henry was
not at all as well off as formerly. His
marriage with Miss Floyd would, how
ever, clear off the Incumbrances which
report whispered Sir Henry had put on
the property.
Report was fairly correct, but not
quite.
Miss Floyd w.ns the only daughter of
a millionaire soapmaker, who had late
ly purchased a property in Sir Henry's
neighborhood.
At first the county families turned
op their noses at the new Importation,
but as rumor gained ground that Miss
Floyd mljiht shortly become Lady
Deane the county families became very
civil Indeed to the maker of soap and
hl9 daushter.
True, Sir Henry was closely on 60,
and Miss Floyd some years less than
half that ag but that was nothing. It
was qu'te right and fitting that Sir
Henry should marry money, and mon
ey was only to be found In trade so
went gos1p. But though gossip knew
a lot, slip didn't know so very much
about Sir Henry, for he had a way of
keeping his affairs pretty closely to
himself.
Sir Henry Deane was, as a matter of
fact, on the verge of ruin, and nothing
bnt his marriage with Miss Floyd could
aftve the sale of those broad acres, the
fine old park, and that proud castel
lated dwelling which for centuries had
been the home of the Deanes.
But there was, however, a slight Im
pediment to the marriage. When Sir
Henry was young he had fallen In love
with and married the daughter of one
considerably his Inferior In rank and
position. A yenr after the marriage he
had tired of the pretty face and baby
ways that led him Into the greatest er
ror a man in his position could com
mit. He told his wife frankly he could
no longer live with her; he would al
low her an annual Income that would
keep her In comfort, If not In the mag
nlflcance that became the wife of Sir
Henry Deane. The poor girl, who,
though abe dearly loved her handsome,
fickle husband, was terribly afraid of
him, consented to any arrangement
that would please Sir Henry. So they
parted. Years had rolled on. Sir Henry
beard at rare Intervals from his wife.
For the past few years ebe had not
written to him at all, perhaps because
be never took the trouble to answer her
letters.
He began to hope she was dead, and,
in fact, determined to net as if afae were
so by marrying Miss Floyd and saving
htmself from impending ruin.
A few days, however, before his valet
committed suicide he had received a
letter.
That letter he now held In his hand,
while a worn look born of a desperate,
settled purpose i-jime Into bis face, as,
lyin? back in a tirsl-class carriage, he
rend Its contents.
It "-u v."v shor!. dated about a
week back, from an obscure town on
the south coast of France.
"Dear Henry: Flease come to me at
once. I want to see you very much.
Your lovinjr wife. Aurora Deane."
"She may be ilyitip," be thought, "she
may be dad. i hope she Is. But noth
ingno, nothing -will stop me now!"
And the desperate look deepened so
much ou H!s face that It would have
scared anyone, but Sir Henry had the
compartment to himself.
At the end of his journey he found
his wishes realized. His wife had Just
breatlied her last a couple of hours be
fore his arrival.
II.
Ills marriage with Miss Floyd wad to
take place almost immediately.
It was to Ik; a jrrewt es-ent. Everyone
was delighted, nnd declared Miss Floyd
to be "a sweet little thing," and the old
county gentl;-i:ic:i shook Sir Henry by
the hand, and m'.d they were all get
ting qulie ariald that he would have
been the last of the Deanes. He went
about everywhere vrrth his future
bride, and received congratulations
with that calm, dlgnlfled courtesy
which so well became him; bnt how
aged he looked, bow terribly aged! ,
One night bit housekeeper fnformed
him that a very queer-looking man had
been hanging about nearnae hooae dur
ing the day. - -
I don't know what he wants. Bit
Henry, but he la a queer-leaking crea
ture and make me feel nr jus like."
"Some tramp, I suppose," replied tho
baronet "Give him something, and
then tell him to be off or 111 bare him
arrested."
"Ob, Sir Henry, look!"- And the
housekeeper pointed toward the win
dow of the library, where they were
standing. She had turned deadly pale
and clutched the baronet's arm In as
agony of terror.
Sir Henry went over to the window
and looked oat It was a very dark
night and nothing was to be seen.
After peering Into the darkness for a
few moments be turned back Into the
room.
"It must have been yonr fancy, Mrs,
Johnson," be said. "There Is no one
there, or I would have beard him. You
had better go to bed. Late hours are
bad for the nerves."
"It wasn't my fancy. Sir Henry. I
saw the man look Into the room there
Just now. I could swear It And bis
eyes! Oh, Sir Henry, It was the eyes!"
"Eyes? What about bis eyesT Don't
be foolish, woman, but go to bed."
"Hie eyes reminded me" and the
housekeeper's voice sank to a whisper
"of poor Janiea."
Sir Henry looked at her keenly. It
was a fixed, searching glance, that
made the housekeeper somehow feel
afraid of him, and she left the room
without saying any more.
Sir Henry flung himself Into a deep
leathern chair and became apparently
absorbed In thought
"Strange," he mused; "It was this
very night a year ago that James com
mitted suicide. I don't believe In
ghosts, though, or I might have been
troubled with them before this. Hum
bug! When a man la dead there Is an
end of him. Hark! what Is that? I
beard a step on the gravel, I am surer'
He sat up In bis chair listening, when
be suddenly became aware of a man
looking In at him from the window.
The eyes oh, those eyes! Yea, the
housekeeper was right Sir Henry felt
an awful feeling of terror creeping over
blm. He gazed at the man, and, like
one In .1 nightmare, became unable to
move or speak.
Presently the figure drew Itself bodi
ly up from the ground outside and
stepped Into the room. It was a miserable-looking
object, all In rags, with
wild, shaggy balr, and a strange mix
ture of fear and cunning In the great
staring eyes.
Directly the man moved Sir Henry
recovered himself, and, starting up, be
Inquired bow dare he come In like
that.
"Soaft soaft Sir Henry; doan't get
Into a foos. I Jooat woant tp hove a foo
words with 'oo."
The man spoke in a queer, childlike
voice, very strange to listen to.
Sir Henry gazed at the curious object
before him. What an unearthly thing
It was! And those eyes! As be looked
at them he became all at once roused
Into a frenzy of rage and terror. He
made a spring at the man, and, seizing
him by the neck, shook him like a dog.
"By heavens!" be muttered, "If you
are not out of that window in two sec
onds, I'll "
"Oo will moorder me, lolke 'oo did
pore James."
The man spoke quite calmly, utterly
Indifferent to the sndden assault
The baronet relaxed bis grasp with
an oath, and then a revulsion of feeling
came over blm: he sank back on a
chair, trembling all over, while a cold
sweat broke out In great beads on bis
brow.
"Yes, Sir Henry." continued the crea.
ture, delighted with the effect of bis
words and, comiug closer, he leaned
over the table, staring strangely all the
while, with a savage, exultant gleam In
his queer eyes" 'oo moordered pore
James. I noo It. He found a letter from
oor wife thot Is dead, and James, he
wrote to me to Auierlcky to say 'oo was
a married man, and yet 'oo was going
to marry another 'ooman. When I
heard about his killing blsself, I say:
'No; Sir Henry Joost murdered him to
pool him oot o' the way! And I coom
now to have bluld bluld for bluld
thot Is fair. James, he was my eoosln,
and "
Sir Henry looked up. His face was
deathly pale. So fearful was bis ex
pression that It had even an effect on
the half-witted creature next him.
"Oo does look real bad," the man
said, starting back.
Sir Henry pointed to the window.
"Go!" he said "go !"
"Yes; I'll go noo. Sir Henry. Bui
bluld for bluld; thot's fair; 'oo must do
wot is fair."
The man then, looking once more al
Sir Henry out of his great staring eyes,
vanished out of the window.
The baronet lay back In bis chair,
gazing fixedly at the strange, weird fig
ure as It disappeared, and the words,
"Blood for blood!" kept ding-dong,
ding-dong In the ears of the murderer,
sounding like his funeral dirge.
The whole scene came back to him
with an awful Ylridnrsea.
He had left that letter, the last lettei
from his wife, on his table, and had
gone out of the room, forgetting H; but
directly afterward be remembered it
and came back, but saw It was too
late. Burton was In the room, and h
knew by the man's face he had read the
letter and held Sir Henry's fate in hi
hands. In that Instant Sir Henry re
solved that the man should die. He
remembered now so clearly the wild
look of terror In his servant's eyes as,
waking up. he saw Sir Henry standing
over him that night with the razor In
In band. Then ougb! how the blood
spluttered and flowed! "Blood foi
blood!" the words kept ringing away
In his ears.
Presently be arose and went to a
drawer. He took out a small, silver
mounted revolver and examined it care
fully. It was loaded In three chambers.
Click! The empty chamber passed tht
trigger. The next was loaded.
Sir Henry sat down, lowered th
lamp, paused for a few seconds. Then
the sound of a shot broke the stillness
of the night echoing loudly throughout
the great old honse, while outside a
queer, half-witted creature kept mut
tering, "Bluld for bluld I Bluld for
bluld !" Answers.

In Mexico it Is the ambition of every

their plays boys there mimic the bull
fighters. They use their shawls at

acts as the bull and the others act tbe
parts of the plcadores, banderilleros
and matadores. When they grow old
er they participate In amateur bull
fights. In the country towns these are
common. Blooded bulls are used, but
their horns are sawed off, and tbe lads,
rigged out in all the finery of a real

and carry out all tbe performances ex

Burled Treaearea.
In almost any rural settlement along
the coast of New Jersey or Long Island,
some old resident would probably point
out to us tbe blackened and weather
beaten ribs of the great ship that had
been wrecked on the sand-bar off the
coast during a terrible storm long ago;
he would show us where tbe bathing
was pleasant and safe; he would tell
us tbe best place for fishing, and per
haps show us the high bluff a little
back from the beach, from which the
Indian maiden leaped to escape the
tomahawk of ber enemy, and then he
would be almost sure to tell us of the
secluded 6pot where It was said Cap
tain Kidd and his pirates once burled
a lot of treasure.
If we should ask why his treasure
had not been dug up, he would probably
say that If anybody did And it they
never said anything about it; and It
was his opinion that If Captain Kidd
ever put any gold or silver, or precious
stones, under the ground on that part
of the coast, these treasures were all
there yet.
Many extensive excavations have
been made along the coasts of our
Northern States; and even In quiet
woods lying miles from the sea, to
which it would have been necessary
for tbe pirates to carry tbeir goods In
wagons, people have dug and hoped
and have gone away sadly to attend to
more sensible business. Far op some
of onr rivers where a pirate Teasel
never floated people have dug with the

RICH IN HISTORIC MEMORIES,
Veatlaea of the Occupation by tbe
Romans.
No city In all broad England, with
the single exception of its majestic cap
ital. Is so rich in historic memories as
Bath, the "Queen of the West." Few
if any have a more striking nobility of
aspect or are more favored in their
surroundings. The great English man
of letters who compared It with his
beloved Florence did no more than
Justice to tbe beauty of its situation
among its embosoming hills; and he
might have added In praise of Its cli
mate as a winter borne that Its protect
ing heights of I.ansdown and Bath
wick give passage to none of those Icy
blasts which sweep at times over the
Tuscan city from the "wind-grieved
pennlnes." Its architecture. If not so
tght and graceful as that of the South,
has a solid and stately character of Its
own; and the Arno Itself flows not
more sweetly than the Avon through
its peaceful pastures to the Severn
Sea. And, thanks, no doubt, to the at
traction of Its healing waters rather
than to Its charm of site or antiquity of
history. It has drawn to It more of hu
man greatness and genius than any
city of ancient or modern times. To re
cite the names of tthose who have paid,
some of them a passing visit to Bath,
but more of whom have made It their
temporary abode, Is almost to call the
roll of Englishmen famous In arts and
arms, renowned for learning and wis
dom, eminent In piety and good works
for generations past. Statesmen such
as Pitt and Chatham, Burke and Sheri
dan; poets such as Byron and Words
worth, Cow per, and Crabbe, and Gold
smith; novelists such as Fielding and
Scott and Dickens, and that Inimitable
artist in literary miniature who drew
ber inspirations and her models from
the very heart and life of tbe city, Jane
Ansten; Gainsborough and Lawrence
among painters: Wllbrrforce and Al
len, the friend of Pope, among philan
thropists; Parr and Porson among
scholars; Nelson and Wolfe and Napier
among naval and military heroes; John
son and Gibson, and Soutbey and Lan
dor among men of letters this surely Is
a "visitors' list" and a "directory of
residents" for the homes of those who
dwelt there can be pointed out In most
cases to this day of which any city
might be proud. Yet It Is far from
being a complete enumeration of the
famous men whom Bath has attracted,
and In almost every Instanoe enrolled
among the train of ber life-long lovers.

Japanese Coolica Refused to Ferre a
CnUrnmla. Vho Hnd ae.
H. B. ?Lewls. the Japanese traveler.
oMls a funny story regarding the super
stltJon of the little brown eia
claim allegiance to the Mikado.
"In Japan during the hot weatner.
said he. "every man whose "ncI'
position enables him to have any or tne
luxuries of life employs la servant
whoae duty It Is to fan his master at
night This custom has grown on
account of the extreme beat In mnmer
and the great number of "Mjtaf J
aects that buss around at si" tne
cities along the seacoast While the
task of f-snnlng a sleeping person Is not
very hard. H is so monotonous that tbe
coolies hind to sway the palm leaves
frequently go to sleep, and the person
who la supposed to do the sleeping
awakens wkh a start as some Insect
drills Its blU through tbe skin. For
this reason it Is difficult to get a faith
ful servant who will keep his eyes open
and his hands In motion at nlgbt while
his master sleeps.
"A year or two ago an artist from
San Francisco, who wore a glass eye,
came to Yokohama and established
himself In a little bungalow in the out
skirts of tbe city. The weather was
extremely warm, and before the stran
ger had become settled he was besieged
by a number of coolies who wanted to
get the Job ef fanning him at night.
The artist looked over the applicants
and finally selected an old man. who
brought excellent recommendations
from his last employer.
"When It came time to retire the art
ist took out his glass eye, laid It on a
stand at his bedside and went to bed.
The old man picked up bis fan and the
Ban Francisco man was soon asleep
He slept peacefully for an hour or two,
when he was awakened by a chorus
of buzzing Insects about his head. He
looked about and found that the man
whom be bad hired to fan blm was
gone.
"The next morning, when he went
In search of another coolie be was
amazed to discover that no one would
work for him. He was looked upon
as a wizard and worker of miracles,
with whom It was unsafe to be alone.
The old man bad gone among h'i
friends and told how the Callfornian
had taken out his eye at night and
laid It on a stand in order that he
might watch his servant at night and
see that he kept his fan in motion. The
old coolie's story created such excite
ment that the San Francisco man was
never able to get another Japanese to
fan him after that." Detroit Journal.

amoky fire In the belief that safety

tice has generally been set down as
mere superstition, but there Is an un
derlying reason based on scientific
principles. This Is that the smoke acts
as a conductor and dissipates the elec

safely. It is pointed out In substantia
tion of this that In 1,000 cases of dam
age by lightning 6.3 per cent were

of factory chimneys was less than one

Nationality Shown In Bating.
Walter, .how their nationality more
dearly than men In any other walk of
life. If you go Into a German restaur
ant you are never served with a
glass of water. The waiter expects you
to order beer and holds his napkin over
uio cava nu wan. j vu va. vsi n uab av J UU JUU
wl9h to drink. That shows the Ger
man. In an American restaurant you may
order oysters, soup and fish. Instead of
serving them separately the waiter will
bring them all together and place them
before you. By tbe time you have
eaten the oyster, the soup will be cold.
When you have partaken of the soup
the fish will be almost uneatable. That
shows American taste.
When you go Into a French restaur
ant in a hurry aad order two or three
things .erred together the waiter will
begin with the first course. Undis
turbed by your apearance of haste he
will go through the whole list That
shows the French know how to live.
Tallest Woman on Karth.
Eight feet, lacking an Inch, la th
nelght of Miss Minnie Power, of Lock
port, N. Y. She Is the tallest woman
In the United States. How greatly she
surpasses average women la shown by
statistics. The average height of Amer
ican women, according to William
Blaikle, the expert on physical culture
is live feet four inches. English wom
en are two inches taller, which la doubt
less due to many generations of out
door life and sports. The modern
American woman, however, is follow
ing her English cousins in their pas
sionate love of athletics, with the result
that the younger American women have
shown a wonderful growth and a more
pronounced tendency to ample physical
proportions.
