A OASTLE IN SPAIN.
BS. GRAND
I court Bevington
had planned It all
out In her mind
from the first meet
lng, when they
would Instantly
fall In love with
each other, to the
wedding bells and
flowers and music
There waa only
one drawback to
this delightful "chateau en Espagne,"
and that tremendous obstacle was Miss
Beatrice Orandcourt Bevington, the
alternate Joy and despair of her grand
mother's heart.
"It Is no use arguing or commanding
or persuading," said Mrs. Bevington to
hersalf with a sigh. "If she won't, siie
won't, so it is Just so much breath wast
ed to try either way."
Now the plain facts of the case are
these. Mrs. Bevington had that morn
ing received a letter from an old friend
a friend whom she had not seen for
years. In fact, since she was 20 and he
25. Can you guess why? A misunder
standing, a girl's hasty action, a man's
wounded pride, and a parting. Forty
five years had elapsed, and now he bad
written to say that his grandson was
visiting in the neighborhood and would
be honored by permission to call. His
grandson! She could hardly realize
that now he was old, nearly 70, in fact;
to her he had always appeared as in
days of yore.
You. of course, can fathom Mrs. Bev
Ington's plana that these two young
persons should marry. After all, what
could be nicer? she thought. And per
haps that would in a measure make up
for her own lost happiness; for though
these memories were nearly half a cen
tury old, Mrs. Bevington thought still
with a sigh and a misty tear of what
"might have been."
And Beatrice, her darling, dearer
even than her own children had been,
with her haughty, Impulsive, loving
spirit, whose life was like an April day,
smiles and tears would her life also be
spoilt by hasty action, which tendency
she Inherited from her grandmother
and father?
After a great deal of thought Mrs.
Bevington came to the wise conclusion
that "least said, soonest mended," and
therefore determined to say nothing
whatever to Beatrice, either about the
expected guest, his grandfather, or her
own wishes, hopes and fears.
The long-expected day came at last,
and the guest waa to arrive In time for
dlnnwr. Beatrice looked in amazement
at her grandmother as she anxiously
asked her what she Intended to wear
that evening, what flowers she pre
ferred and wouldn't she do her hair up
In her favorite way?
"Is any one coming, grandma?" asked
Beatrice, little thinking of the plan that
was being hatched by that stately, dig
nified lady.
"Mrs. Whitby and the doctor," replied
Mrs. Bevington, feeling a guilty qualm
as she hid the fact that she expected
also another guest. "But you know.
Hear, It seems to me that lately you
have not been so particular about com
ing early to dress for dinner, and have
therefore had to hurry."
Beatrice blushed and looked rather
frignteaed.
The afternoon dragged wearily away
rh heat was so intense as to make
walking or driving an Impossibility,
and Mrs. Bevington had not the liking
for the woods possessed by Beatrice,
who had disappeared after lunch, and
would not be seen until after dinner
time.
As it grew cooler Mrs. Bevington
walked slowly down to the forest road,
thinking to meet Beatrice on her way
home; but her courage soon gave out,
ind he sat down to rest on the pretty
little seat that had been put up for
Beatrice, and which she called her
bawer.
Aa she sat there resting and dream
lag, the clear, dulcet tones of Beatrice's
voice struck her ear, with the accom
paniment of a man's voice which sound
sd altogether strange to her.
"One of the child's friends," thought
her grandmother with an indulgent
.mile.
Beatrice was a great favorite with
the superior sex.
She rose from her seat as the speak
ers approached her retreat and leisure
ly advanced to meet them; but, to her
horror and amazement, instead of see
ing some familiar form, she saw a tall,
handsome stranger actually catch her
own granddaughter, Miss Beatrice
Gramleourt Bevington, In his arms and
kiss her in a way that made Mrs. Bev
ington feel, in 6plt of her anger. Indig
nation and dlsgu9t, what the boys call
"ehokey."
"Good-by, my darling," he whispered
,n a caressing tone. "I shall see you
thl evpTiivz."
"At wnat ome snan l expect your-
asked Beatrice.
"Any time between 7 and 10," he re
plied, and with more ear easing words
and sweet looks they parted, he going
back through the WoO8 and she re
turning home.
Mrs. Bevington sat down, feeling
quite faint Waa thta how her castle
in Spain was to end to burst like a
bubble In the air? She sighed, and a
sad, sad look came over het face as she
thought of another broken dream.
She sat there for an hour or more,
and then arose and walked slowly
home. "I'm a silly old woman," she
thought to herself aa she mounted the
stairs to her room, after Inquiring in
the hall If Miss Beatrice had returned,
"to hare laid such plana. Arranged
marriage rarely are happy, so perhaps
It is all for the best."
Whan Mrs. Bsvlnglon walked lute
the drawing room to receive her ex
pected gneata no one would hve
guessed that a small rragedy bad hap
pened not two short hours ago. She
was dressed as usual, la black, with a

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Bank to Mrs. Pint-hum.
The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. Rank, No. .4,354
East Susquehanna Ave., Philadelphia,
Pa., is a remarkable statement of re
lief from utter discouragement. She
says:
" I never can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
" Some years ago I had womb trouble
and doctored for a long time, not seeing-
any improvement. At times I
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, I felt something
terrible creeping over me, I knew not
what, but kept getting worse. I can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. I was so depressed in spirits
that 1 did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys
teria, was very nervous;" could not
sleep and was not safe to bo left
alone.
" Indeed, I thought I would lose my
mind, iso one knows what I endured.
" 1 continued this way until the last
Of February, when I saw in a paper a
testimonial of a lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. I'inkham's Veget
ble Compound. I determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose. I
continued taking it, and to-day am a
wen woman, and can say from my
heart, 'Thank God for such a medi
cine.'"

asked Beatrice, hastily entering the
loom.
j On perceiving the figure bending ovei
jher grandmother she started. Mrs.
Bevington looked at Jack and tried to
speak, while he and Beatrice both ap
peared guilty.
"You should have told her more care
fully," said Beatrice, looking a little
reproachfully at Jack as she spoke. Her
grandmother was dear to her.
"I have told her nothing," replied ha
"Why, my dear girl, I have only Just
arrived."
Both looked more guilty and puzzled
than ever. What could be the matter?
"Are you the grandson of my old
friend, John Trenholm?" asked Mrs.
Bevington, faintly.
"Yes," replied Jack.
"Was It you I saw kissing Beatrice
this afternoon?"
This question was decidedly embar
rassing. Jack colored, while Beatrice
looked ready to cry. Jack braced him
self tip for the final struggle.
"Yes, Mrs. Bevington, It was. I have
a confession to make to both you and
Beatrice, who, until this moment never
knew that I in any way knew of you.
When my grandfather learned that I
was coming Into this neighborhood he
asked me to call on you, and also Inti
mated thai if I fell in love with Beat
rice he would have no objection. He
said he thought In that way to atone
for the past."
Mrs. Bevington sighed, and a teat
crept down her face; he had not quite
forgotten her .then.
"But I was not quite willing," contin
ued Jack, "to marry a girl under cir
cumstances so auspicious, therefore de
termined to come quietly, Incognito, in

her. and what was Infinitely more nec
essary, if she could learn to care for
me. I came, saw and she conquered.

I really was, although I have known
her for two weeks, and so she loves me

forgiveness, Mrs. Bevington, for my
bold stroke for happiness; la It

THE WA8P AS AN ENGINEER.
Bit
of Insect Cleverness That
Won
Praise from Army Man.
Several members of the United States
engineer corps were Interested witness
es of a feat of Insect engineering near
the road on which they were working.
One of their number found a blue
ground wasp dragging along the ground
a dead swamp spider one-quarter the
size of a full-grown tarantula. Wheth
er the wasp killed the spider or found
It dead is a question beyond solution.
He was having a hard time dragging
his prey along, and presently left it to
go proRpectlng for his abode. The dis
coverer of the wasp called his compan
ions, and one of them in coming stepped
upon the wasp's groundhole, crushing
down some blades of dried grass across
it. This caused no little trouble to the
Insect, who, upon locating the hole,
nipped away at the obstructing stalks
with his strong mandibles until he had
cleared a passage. Then he went back
and sized up the spider, walking around
the big body and surveying it from all
sides.
"He's reckoning that the hole Isn't
big enough," said one of the engineers.
That's all right; he'll fix it," said
another, as the Insect went back and
commenced vigorously widening the en
trance to his domicile.
Again he returned to the spider,
seized it and dragged it to within a foot
of the orifice. To the spectators It was
evident that more work would have to
be done before the spider could be
dragged In. This struck the wasp, too,
for again be ran around the body, ex
amining tt carefully, and returned to
the hole to take measurements. He
went to digging a second time. Having
dug for two minutes he brought his
prey up to the edge of the hole, nipped
out a piece of dirt here, cut away a
grass stem there, and after fifteen min
utes of hard and skillful labor disap
peared underground, dragging the
spider after him, doubtless to form the
piece de resistance In a winter store
bouse. The engineers then resumed
their work, exchanging comments of
admiration.

Tree-Cllmblng FUk.
Of all land-frequenting fish, by far
the most famous is the so-called climb
ing perch of India, which not only
vrd Its bodily out of the water, but even
rllnihs trees by means of special spines,
near the head and tail, so arranged as
to stick into the bark, and enable it to
wriggle Its way up awkwardly, some
thing after the same fashion as the
"looping" of caterpillars. The tree
climber is a small, scaly fish, seldom
more than seven Inches long; but It has
developed a special breathing appar
atus to enable It to keep up the slock
of oxygen on its terrestrial excursions,
which may be regarded as to some ex
tent the exact converse of the means
employed by divers to supply them
selves with air under water. Just
above the gills, which form, of course.
Us natural hereditary breathing appar
atus, the climbing perch has invented a
new and wholly original water cham
ber, containing within it a frilled, bony
organ, which enables It to extract oxy
gen from the stored up water during
the course of its aerial peregrinations.
While on shore it picks up small In
sects, worms and grubs; but It also has
vegetarian tastes of its own, and does
not despise fruits and berries. The In-
d'an Jugglers tame the climbing perch
es, and carry them about with them as
part of their stock In trade; their abil
ity to live for a long time out of water
makes them useful confederates In

wonderful to people accustomed to be

Sweetheart's Surprise.
It wouldn't have happened if Sweet

Sweetheart was continually introduc

even into Crested Ned's cage to investi
gate his seed cup. There were so
many, many things In Sweetheart's
world to examine and look Into and to
smell of. It kept her very busy and
got her Into all sorts of scrapes; but the
very funniest and really the most se
rious, too, happened one day down at
the beach. They were all "clamming."
Quite a pile of the big, ugly fellows lay
near Sweetheart when she sat down to
rest.
"I wish I knew what the rest of him
was like," she thought, as a long, black
neck issued Inquiringly from one of thq
shells; "I'm going to peek In and see. I
shouldn't be s'prised ;f he waa homely

TO PUT OUT FIRES.
New Extinguisher Which Is Sold to
Be Something of n Novelty.
This fire extinguisher belongs to thai
class in which a tank or reservoir it
partially filled with a solution of sodium
bicarbonate, into which are precipitated
the contents of a bottle containing sul
phurlc acid, the resulting gas being nsed
to extinguish the fire, says the Scientific
American. Fig. 1 shows the tank pro
vided with the usual discharge pipe,
having a nozzle of any desired construc
tion. The tank is provided with a screw
closure having a circular wall covered
by a screw cap. Secured to the lower
side of the closure and projecting into
the tank Is a yoke, shown in detail in
Fig. 2. A glass bottle containing sul-
phurlc rcld Is held by this yoke so that
the cork presses against the cover.
Within the cover a lever Is fulcruined
and connected by means of a rod with a
lever having at Its free end a hammer
like formation adapted to bear against
the bottom of the bottle. The latter
lever Is fnlcrumed on an arm carrying
i pan, the perforated bottom of which
lies Just above the solution of sodium
bicarbonate.
' When It Is desired to use the extin
guisher, the screw-cap Is removed, and
the lever pressed downwardly. This
operation causes the hammer to be forc
ibly driven against the bottom of the
.Kittle, thus breaking the glass and caus
ing the sulphuric acid to fall upon the
pan, whereby the acid is sprayed into
the soda solution. The resulting gas Is
:ben used to extinguish the fire.

New Way to Make Ice.
A modest chemist, living in Los An
geles, Cal., has discovered a salts which
may kill all existing methods of supply
ing Ice. A thimbleful Is hermetically
sealed In a nickel-silver receptacle
about three-eighths of an Inch in diam
eter and two Inches long, which the
soldier may carry by the dozen In his
haversack. It weighs about aa much
as a cartridge. Dropped Into a canteen
of water, it converts the contents into
ice in an incredibly short time. A
larger one will freeze a bucket of San
tiago (or any other) water, and a still
larger a tub. As the salts do not come
In contact with the water, the latter
remains unpolluted. A lawyer control
ling the discovery Is now In New
York, in correspondence with the Sec
retary of War, and his hopes are high
that it will be adopted by the army.

Two Instances are recorded In which
oees have been used as weapons of de

Mlthridatea and sent a force against
the city of Themiscyra, the. besieged
threw down on the invaders myriads of
swarms of bees. These at once began
an attack which resulted in the raising
of the siege. The Insects were also once
used with equal success tn England.
Chester was besieged by Danes and
Norwegians, but Its Saxon defenders
threwdownon them the beehives of the
town, and the alege was soon raised.

MODERN PIRACY.
A German Tassel Cnptnred by Kara'
cniho Ben Bobbers.
Most people would laugh or look wise
when one suggested piracy In these lat
ter days of the nineteenth century, but
this fact Is attested by Consul Pluma
1 cher. at Maracaibo. He states that on
I los. The next day ane was surrounaea
by Indians, under charge of Rudeclndo
Gonzales, a half-breed, known as
"Cachlmbo."
The captain of the Hedwlg was not
fallowed to go to the fort for assistance.
but was driven, together with bis crew,
out of the vessel by force. They walk
ed to the town of Sinamalca, a few
miles from Parjana, and hired a boat
to convey them to Maracaibo, where
they made their declaration before the
German consul.
The consul states that this Is, to his
personal knowledge, the fourth case of
piracy committed on large foreign sail
ing vessels close to Fort San Carlos.
None of the vessels had a gun or rifle on
board. Had the master of the Hedwlg
been provided with a signal gun or fire
arms, he could have easily kept hla ves-
gel until relief was sent from Fort San
Carlos, the authorities In charge or
which had not the slightest knowledge
of what was occurring close to them.
The consul believes that It would be
prudent, for sailing vessels bound for
this port to be provided with breech
loading rifles and ammunition, as well
as with a signal gun. From the deck
of a vessel, protected by the woodwork
of the railing, a crew should be able to
withstand assaults until assistance
could be rendered. Philadelphia Rec

SEIZED BY AH OCTOPUS.
nSrfarhtfml Kx eerie noa mt a Mas Off
. the New Onlnan Coast.
The greatest enemy the divers had to
fear In the waters of New Guinea was
the dreaded octopus, whoae presence
occasioned far greater panic than the
appearance of a mere shark. These
loathsome monsters would sometimes
come and throw their horrible tentacles
over the side of the frail craft from
which the divers were working, and
actually tasten on to the men them
selves, dragging them out Into the wa
ter. At other times octopuses have
been known to attack the divera down
below, and hold them relentlessly under
water until Ufa was extinct. One of
oar own men had a terribly narrow es
cape from one of these fearful crea
tures. I must explain, however, that
aach evening, when the divera returned
from pearl fishing, they roped all their
little skiffs together and let them lie
astern of the schooner. Well, one
night the wind rose and rain fell hear
Uy, with the result that next morning
all the little boats were found more or
less waterlogged. Some of the Malays
were told off to go and bale them out.
While thev were at work one of the
men saw a mysterious-looking, black
object In the aea, which so attracted
hia curiosity that he dived overboard to
find out what R was. He had Pareiy
reached the water, however, when an
Immense octopus rose into view, and
at once made for the terrified man, who
Instantly saw his danger, and with
great presence of mind promptly turned
and scrambled back Into the boat
The terrible creature waa after him,
however, and to the horror of the on
lookers It extended Its great flexible
tentacles, enveloped the entire boat,
man and all, and then dragged the
whole down under the crystal sea. The
diver's horrified comrades rushed to hia
assistance, and an attempt was made
to kill the octopus with a harpoon, but
without success. Several of his more
resourceful companions then dived into
the water with a big net made of rope,
which they took right underneath the
octopus, entangling the creature and
Its living prey. The next step was to
drag up both man and octopus Into the
whaleboat and, this done, the unfortu
nate Malay was at length seized by his
lega and dragged by aheer force out of
the frightful embrace, more dead than
alive. However, we soon revived him
by putting him in a very hot bath, the
water being at auch a temperature as
actually to blister hla skin. It Is most
remarkable that the man was not al
together drowned, aa he had been held
under water by the tentacles of the
octopus for rather more than two min
utes. But like all the Malays of our
party, this mas carried a knife, which
he used to vary good purpose on the
monster's body when first it dragged
him under the water. These repeated
stabs caused the creature to keep roll
ing about on the surface. The unhappy
man was in this wsy enabled to get
an occasional breath of air, otherwise
he must infallibly have been drowned.
The octopus bad an oval body, and was
provided with an extraordinary num
ber of tentacles six very large ones
ana many smaller ones of varying sizes
It was a horrible-looking creature, with
flat slimy body, yellowish-white In
color, with black spots and a hideous
cavity of a mouth, without teeth. It Is
the tentacles of the creature that are
so dreaded, on account of the immense
sucking power which they possess. Af
ter this incident the divera always took
a tomahawk with them on their expedi
tions. In order to lop off the tentacles
of any octopus that might try to attack

Afraid of Mice,
I've seen women traveling with all
sorts of things, bird cages, pet cats. Ice
boxes, and goodness knows what else,
but never, till last Thursday evening,
did I see a woman whose impedimenta
Included a mouse trap. She was an
elderly woman, and, I am quite sure,
she was not a marrying woman. She
was going to the Virginia mountains,
and she had the drawing room of a
sleeping car. The porter was helping
her stow away her belongings.
"Put that mouse trap under the
berth," she commanded, and her voice
had the ring of one accustomed to com
mand. "You 'spectlng to catch anything 7"
grinned the porter.
"Expecting!" she snapped. "I've al
ready caught two mice In sleeping cars
In the last eight years. I don't propose
to be mutilated by the creatures while
I sleep. Put the trap where I tell you
and mind your own business."
And only think of anybody, a mere
defenseless woman anyway, daring
enough to say "mind your own busi
ness" to a sleeping car porter, and yet
afraid of a mere mouse! Washington
