I had contributed regularly for some

and my eorreapoadence with tho editor

never, never in my wildest imaginings
bad X foreseen such a catastrophe aa
this.

and then she began to laugh, noiseless
ly and hysterically. X thought thin
downright mean of her, but I didnt
have time to remonstrate. 1 heard Tom
tell our guest in a very loud tone for
our benefit that he would show him in
just as soon as be bad finished a little
matter then claiming hla attention in
the shop. This was to give us time, Ood
blest him! And we improved it. The
wsy we did set chairs to their right
abouts and jam things into those bu
! resu drawers! Nell got hold of the
( muslin and struggled to get it into the
t runic, but there waa too much of It.
j "Put it behind the trunk." I gasped,
and as she obeyed. I added: "There'
one consolation. Tie can't bear us, be
cause he's aa deaf as anything; he told
me himself."
"Well, that is bliss," responded Nell,
lapsing into slang In her agitation.
We had barely begun to get things to
rights, it seemed, however, when we
heard them coming, and with hopeless
glances into the mirror we sank into
our chairs.
Tom pushed aside the portiere and
walked in, followed by a tall and fine
looking gentleman. With a terrible
"Boo-woo-woo I" in the voice of a lion,
Jeff leaped from bis own Individual
corner and made a rush at our guest,
and as tbe latter was just in the act of
taking a step, the dog, more astonished
than any of us, went straight between
the South African ankles and floundered
against the wall. As the gentleman re
covered his equilibrium and hla self
possession, Turn lamely introduced
hlin.
"Speak louder, Tom," said I, conceal
ing the motion of my Hps behind my
'kerchief. "He ia awfully deaf; he told
me himself."
"Is that so?" said Tom, and then he
fnlrly shouted the introduction.
Nell came forward, looking as cool
and sweet as a lily, and gave him her
hntid, telling' him how really glad she
was to welcome Mm.
"Oh, fudge 1" said Tom, making a wry
face at her over Mr. Everett's shoulder;
"if he's deaf, that's all Greek to him.
Speak up, my little girl."
For one dreadful moment I thought
Nell was going into one of her convul
sions of laughter, but she pulled herself
together and presented me.
"So this is our little contributor,"
said he, taking my hand and looking at
me with kind but amused eye. I
shouted out "Yes," but as that sounded
rather flat, and hearing Tom giggle in
the background, I limply subsided.
"Have a chair?" cried Nell, her voioe
rising to a little squeak as she proffered
the best and really safest chair in the
house. To our consternation, however,
he showed a preference for a guileless
looking chair that was at heart one base
deception.
"Great guns!" ejaculated Tom, in a
tone of exaggerated emotion, while we
nil stood shivering in agonized sus
pense. "It's the chair with the broken
leg!"
llefore our guest could seat himself,
however, Noll had a happy inspiration.
"Do do take off your overcoat!" she
cried, and then in a rapid aside to me:
"And Kate, do substitute another chair
while I'm talkin' sweet to him! Tom,,
take his coat. Hurry, Kate, or you'll
bo too late."
For one instant I thought a flash of
uncontrollable mirth swept across Mr.
Everett's face, almost as if he had
heard. But a second glance assured me
of my mistake, for his expression waa
sphinx-like.
"Now that I have his coot," put in
Tom, with cold irony, while I deftly
changed the chairs, "what shall I do
with it? Toss it on the trunk?"
"Heavens! No!" said I, sternly.
"Put it out in the in the "
"Cubby-hole," suggested Nell, giving
us a brief, innocent glance, and then
adroitly continuing her conversation
with Mr. Everett.
"Sure enough," said Tom, giggling a
he went out, "I'll put it on the bag of
potatoes. He'll think we have a hundred-dollar
hatrack concealed in the
darkness."
Tom, I may say right here, was in his
element. A guest who was deaf, and
two sisters who had been caught in a
dreadful plight! What more could the
imp ask? He took the tide at tbe flood,
too. He came back and seated himself
in tbe shadow, so he could fire funny
remarks at us without the motion of his
lips being observed by Mr. Everett
Nell behaved like an angel. She sat
quite close to our guest, and carried on
with him in an animated conversation
in a clear, high, llute-like tone which
seemed to carry every word to him dis
tinctly, aa be did not hesitate ouce in
hi replies.
Suddenly my alert ear heard some
thing dropping, or, to be more accurate,
running. Nell gave me a startled, mys
tified glance.
"My guna I " ejaculated Tom, in a tone
of fairly diabolical mirth. . "You bid
your chocolate oup on the organ, didn't
you? Well, Mis Brilliancy, it's upset,
and it's meandering down right into his

- Wo would have been more than hu

eyes away from the fatal spot I even
thought - poor . Mr. Everett gave' a
startled glance toward tho floor, but,
of course, I must have been mistaken.
Tbe unfortunate man had deposited hla

The chocolate' waa really running, not
Into it, but so eloae to it that w knew

again to the hat. "So that a " she
repeated, absently.
So that " mimicked Tom, at
which I laughed weakly and helplessly.
Nell gave him both of us, in fact a fu
rious glance, and 'returned to her
charge.
All thla time Mr. Everett bad be
haved admirably. Ho must have ob
served our hysterical nervousness, bnt
1 presume be attributed it to the dire
confusion and disorder of our surround
inga. When be finally arose to take his de
parture, Nell put her 'kerchief to bet
lips with a shameless pretense at cough
ing she, who had the strongest lunga
in tbe family and said rapidly: "For
heaven's sake, Kate, pick up his hat
and wipe tbe chocolate off before ne
aeea it!" Then louder: "I'm no snrry

for 'the cubby hole. "That reminds me
I'd better be getting his coat before ne
investigates and linda it between tbe
potatoes end the coal oil can! My I" be
ejaculated, sniffing exaggeratedly, as
he returned with it, "It smells of coal
oil!"
"By the way," said Mr. Everett, turn
tag to me kindly, "here's a letter for
you from my brother, which I should
have given you before. I shall tell him
bow greatly I enjoyed my call." And
ao be bowed himself out there dawned
upon his face a alow smile of such In
tense and uncontrollable amusement
that It made me feel as if an icy band
was clutching my heart. We all stood
transfixed until we heard tbe door close
behind him. Then
"His brother!" exclaimed Nell, in a
low, terrible tone. "Wretched girl!
Who is his brother?"
"I don't know," 1 faltered, almost in
tears, tearing open the letter.
"Ten to one," said Tom, strutting
n round with bis thumbs in his button
boles, "it's a proposal of marriage.
"Or a $100 check for that Inst story,"
said Nell, laughing nervously.
They came behind me and looked over
niy shoulder, all reading together. It
was not a proposal of marriage, but it
waa a check an effectual one to our
spirits.
"My Dear Miss Orne: We have Ion de
sired to make your acquaintance, and as
one of us must go to your town on business
I shall let my brother have that pleas

as I have told you that you would find
conversation with me embarrassing. My
brother Is ao fortunate as to enjoy perfect
hearing. I am sure you will like him, al
though I believe I have never mentioned
him to you. He is associate editor of the
Ueview. I am
"Yours very sincerely,
"HUGH A. EVERETT."
For a moment that seemed a year
there was deadly silence. Then I began
to sob childishly, and Nell I regret to
be compelled to tell it Nell went into
regular hysterics of mirth, and laughed
and cried alternately. Nor did she en
tirely recover for weeks, but would go
into convulsions of merriment at the
mere mention of that evening. Tom
neither laughed nor cried. He just sat
down on the edge of tho organ stool and
twisted hlsfaint presentiment of a mus
tache and swung his long legs to nnd
fro, and reflected. When his thoughts
had hod time to travel down to the bag
of pototoes and the cool oil can, I im
agine ho concluded that he couhl re
flect more clearly if alone, for he arose
silently and stole Into the store, nor
did so much ns.a murmur emerge from
him during the remainder of the even
ing. It wus the first and last time ia
my life that I ever saw Tom squelched.

IRON BUILDINGS ON FIRE.
A Practical Aainer to a Mach-Ule-pated
Queatloa Lately Ulvea
1 Chicago.
It has long been a matter of specula
tion how steel and iron buildings would
withstand tbe effect of a serious fire.
At the recent burning of the Shoene
mau building in Chicago, a new steel
frame building, having iron wrought
pillars and steel girders and beams, a
practical test of the question was af
forded. The building was seven stories
in height and adjoined the Old Colony
building, 17 stories high, on tbe north,
and the Manhattan building, of IS
stories, on the south. The wall be
tween the Shoencman and the Manhat
tan buildings was a party structure.
When the burned building collapsed
It pulled the party wall one inch and
a half out of plumb where the greatest
strain was exerted; but otherwise the
Manhattan building suffered no injury
from heat or fire, except that some win
dow casings were burned and .10 or GO
windows were broken. The effect in
the Old Colony building was even less,
according to the report. The Manhat
tan building waa erected in 1800 at an
expense of $700,000. The Old Colony
building to the other side of the burned
structure wa erected in 1891 at a coot
of $000,000, and waa the tallest building
put up in that year. The same archi
tect did not plan the two structures,
and there is no claim, therefore, that
the test made by the recent fire should
be construed as favorable to any class
of architecture on to the plan of any in
dividual architect.' The report of the
condition of tho Old Colony building
limit the exterior damage to two terra
cotta lintel coverings, several window
sills, and plate glee. The supporting
steel columae in the south wall were,
protected by a heavy brick wall and by
hollow tiles. A Ilk report ia made at
the Manhattan building. N. Y. Sun.

CATHOLIC CHURCH NOTES.
English Cnthollcs are hoping that the
new Westminster cathedral wHl be fin
ished in time ao that within its walls
mny be celebrated the fiftieth anniver
sary of the establishment of the Cath
olic hierarchy in England. This event
occurred on September 29, 1850.
I'. i sb op Harklns, of Providence, has
donntcd a burial place for Catholic sol
diers in St. Francis' cemetery, and it is
now proposed to erect n suitublo monu
tv nit on this lot, a proposal which the
liinliop warmly encourages. To secure
funds for the monument, a lecture by
Archbishop Ireland is contemplated.
Tbe monument, it Is estimated, will cost
$3,000.
The well-known Maestro, GaetnnoCo

of 80. He was taken ill on St. John's
day, while conducting vespers nt St.

been maestro since 1S54. His death will
be much regretted, for ho was still vig
orous. His compositions arc very much
admired in Borne, and he hns been for
many years a most familiar figure nt

Catarrh.
Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to gPt rid of.
Ihere is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes ana inhaling mixtures
in tne worm can nave no permanent
aftVot whatever unon it. Swift's Sne-

tno oniy remeay wnicn can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
