Although the clock In the tall tower
of St. Mary's had loug since tolled out
the hour of midnight, the brilliantly
lighted windows of the Traveler's club
presented a br ght contrast to the gloom
of the surrounding stores, and when a
little later the servant extinguished the
other lamps the lights in the smoking
room still burned with uudimmed ra
diance.
A little circle of half a dozen men
were gathered around the great fire
place in postures more comfortable
than elegant, and were listening with
breathless Interest to a man who was
leaning awkwardly agaiust the side of
the chimney.
llis hands were thrust in the pockets
of his ill fitting trousers, and his lank
figure was emphasized and thrown in
relief by the light tints of the wall be
hind him. lie certainly was not a
handsome man. yet there were an ex
pression of manliness in the strong
face and a suggestion of strength in
the broad shoulders and deep chest
that never failed to attract and charm
one.
A silence now fell upon the little
group, and for some moments nothing
was heard except the crackling of the
pine logs upon the hearth. Then out
from the depths of an armchair in
their midst came the remark:
"I say. Tom. that last story of yours
was awfully jolly, and that, but —er—it
had no romance in it. you know."
Annerly looked up and smiled.
"My dear fellow." he languidly inter
posed, "my own life has never contain
ed the slightest thread of romance."
"None of that," resounded from al T
Hides.
"Hut If you really want a love story
I'll give you one secondhand." he tin
lshed, apparently unmindful of the in
terruption:
When I was in Geneva some weeks
ago. 1 met an old acquaintance and fel
low tourist. Graf von Alburg. We took
our supper together and grew quite
confidential over our cigars and eliiantl
afterward.
At first I was too much absorbed In
the flood of recollections which our
meeting called up to notice his reserve,
but 1 soon saw that something was
weighing upon his mind. Curious to
find out what It was ami debating with
myself as to whether I should speak to
him about it or not. the count suddenly
looked up. lie gazed at me in some
hesitation for a little while and then
said slowly:
"Annerly. I know well that I can rely
upon your Judgment, and I want your
advice. 1 am going to tell you my story
and want you to we.gb all the fact*
carefully and then tell me what you
would do if you were in my place. Will
you?"
After a few seconds' thought I an
swered "Yes." There was a short pause,
during which the count puffed furious
ly away at his cigar, and then lie be
gan:
"Not long ago I was tramping In the

evening found myself ai Erlachan.

climbing, for I had made all haste to

"It was. therefore, with a grateful
sense of relief that I entered the warm
Inn antl. throwing aside my knapsack
and belt, sat down to the supper which
was soon ready for me.
"My pleasure, however, was of short
duration, for hardly had I got warm ;
and begun to appease my hunger when
a peasant entered tin- room and asked
hurriedly for the Ilerr Doctor.
" 'He left for Auvergne this very aft
ernoon.' said the innkeeper, "but, dear
heaven." In- exclaimed in surprise as he
saw the man totter and almost fall,

"'The people at Sena Julia have fall

loug repressed by the man's force of

heavily Into a chair.

lated the terrl"cd landlord.
"'Dead! Nonsense! He has fainted,
for I saw that it was merely a swoon.
'But where is this Sena Julia V
"'Sena Julia? Why. it is some six
miles from here over the mountain
and might as well be a thousand such a
night as this.'
" 'Nevertheless, there Is but one thing
to do. and that immediately.'
'"And that is?'
" "Togo at once.' I replied decisively,
casting a look of deep regret at the in
terior of the bright little inn. and sigh
ing as I saw the pipes and ale which
the landlord bad set out on the table.

"Leave out the adjectives."

" 'Oh. yes.' And she ran away, only

" 'Then you come from Sena Julia?' |

"That was her name, she told me."
"And how about the broken leg?"
"Oh. I forgot. It was not broken,

It gave me much trouble, still Marsa

"T see."
"My leg did hurt me quite a little at

gone a good distance, when suddenly
the path made a sharp bend to one side
and widened out. We were in Sena

"It was as If all life had suddenly de

Many and many a time I despaired of

Here Annerly took his hands from
his trousers pockets, where they had
remained during the relation of the
story. and calmly lit a cigarette.
"Well," shouted a young guardsman
of the group, "what did you tell him?"
"Nothing." saitl Aunerly.
"Not liing!"
"Why. my dear fellow, what would
you have told him: that he had done
right?"
"Of course I would," rejoined the
other disgustedly.
An ee'io of assent went around the

The door closed, the sound of Tom's
footsteps died slowly away, and the

silence.

guardman.
Oil of Tobacco.
Some interesting investigations have
just been published by the analysts of
the government laboratory with respect
to what is known as the "oil of tobac
co."
In making up raw tobacco leaf into
the article with which we till our pipes
manufacturers use olive oil, and at one
time they made a use of it which, like
Sam Weller's knowledge of London,
was extensive and peculiar. In order to
protect the smoker a paternal legisla
ture has enacted that not more than 4
per cent of olive oil shall lie used by
manufacturers for "making up" or lla
voring." and the businesslike manufac
turer has sometimes complained that
this 4 per cent is not a sufficient allow
ance. because the tobacco leaf itself
supplies an oil which might be mistak
en for the manufacturing product.
The government analysts have, there
fore. experimented with forty-six to
baccos. and they find that the essential
oil of tobacco usually exists only in the
smallest of quantities, sometimes not
more than .OT> per cent. The oil is a
paraffin, technically a paraffin hydro
carbon—London Post.

Without raising his eyes from the
book Mr. Gladstone put his hand in his
pocket antl handed over the half

An American capitalist who has

imilions llkt-s to tell a story of bis first
business venture and how he saddened
the local giNK-er. Ar thia time he was

near his home where all sorts of bare

One day I noticed several boxes of
soap of a certain brand which 1 had
often been sent to buy at the corner
grocery. 1 thought to myself, "That
will go cheap," so Iran to the grocery
and received a promise from tiic man
in charge to buy us much of the soap
at a certain figure as 1 could furnish.
Of course lie never suspected that I
could furnish any of it.
I returned to tiie salesroom, and
when the soap was put up I bid it in,
and it was knocked down to me. My
came was demanded, and when I gave
it in a «hril! voice everybody laughed, t
for 1 was then only eleven years of
nge.
Amused as they were at the sale, the
bystanders were amazed when I bid In
I the whole lot of twenty-two boxes. I
: had them carried over to the grocery
and received the price agreed upon.
The grocer wore a weary look when he
heard how I had obtained the soap.

The Ulrd That Fllen Longest.
Mr. J. Lancaster, naturalist, who
pent five years on the west coast of
"lorida studying birds there, eame to
the conclusion that of all the feathered
tenants of the air the frigate bird can
ly the longest without resting. He has
;eeti one flying for a whole week night
ind day without repose.
The frigate bird can feed, collect ma
terials for its nest and even sleep on
:he wing. Apparently its wings cnu
be controlled automatically, without
the power of its will, and it probably
ulapts itself to take advantage of the
upward or bearing force of the wind.
I'he spread of the frigate bird's wing
Is great, ami it can fly at a speed of
uinety-six miles an hour, without seem
ing to flap Its wings much.
The albatross—that "king of the high
seas." as it has been called—is larger
than the frigate bird, but If It follows
a vessel for four or five days It has ta

I'ndiiceatrd Food.
The recurrence of the flavor of foo<l
for some time after eating Is always
an indication, writes a physician in •
medical journal, that the food Is not
being properly digested. "I can taste
It," we say after eating canned fruits
and vegetables preserved by adding
salicylic acid or formaldehyde, sub
atauees that embalm food agaiust tho
digestive Juices as .-ompletely as they
protect it from the microbes of the
outer air. And"l can taste It" would
probably be the report of one who had
made a hearty meal on a turkey kept
several mouths In cold storage. "A
man trying to live on such meat would
simply starve to death or die of blood
poisoning," adds the physician.
He does not fall to remind us that
the storage- warehouse Is generally a
convenience and a benefit aud only
when misused a source of danger. But
neither lie nor any one else could find
a good word to say for manufacturers
who put slow poison Into a food prod
uct. The fitting punishment for them
would be to give them nothing to eat
but their own canned stuff.

reached the quiet village in the Vosges
when Amerigo trumpeted forth his own
glory. So Hylaeomylus proposed that,
since the new continent was, after all,
not a part of the Indies, no name would
suit it better than that of his famous
explorer, Amerigo.
I The book was read far and wide, and
so quickly was the proposition accepted
j that, when later 011 the true discoverer
was known, the name was already
rooted too deeply in general use to
be abolished, and was even extended
to the north part of the continent, while
llylacomylus had only meant It for
the present South America National
Geographic Magazine.
A Night Light.
Some people make it a point never to
retire without a light burning in the
house. V bit of information worth
knowing is that a small even light may
be obtained from a small piece of can
die all night if fine powdered salt is
i piled around the candle until the black
part of the wick is reached.
Robin* Play »t llelnu Dead.
One morning a well known naturalist
was greatly surprised to see a robin j
lying on his back evidently dead, being
rapidly pulled round and round by an
other bird of the same species.
The naturalist at once came to the
conclusion that he had come in time
to ivitness the end of a deadly en-.
counter, and that the live robin was
indulging in the cruel triumph of drag
ging his victim's lifeless body over the
stones.
But he was mistaken, for suddenly
the live bird went down upon bis l>aek,,
his wings and legs were stiffened, and
he gave every appearance of being
dead, while the other robin who had
been shammit g death hopped 011 bis
legs and proceeded to serve his com
' pauiou in the same way as he had
done him. Finally the two birds flew
away together to a neighboring tree. 1
lon the People of Snni(lr Keep Time, j
The people of Sanglr, an island of the
Malay archipelago, keep time by the
aid of an hourglass formed by arrang
ing two bottles neck to neck. The sand
runs out in half an hour, when the bot
tles are reversed. Close by them a line
Is stretched, on which hang twelve
6tieks marked with notches from one
to twelve, with a booked stick, which
Is placed between the hour last struck
and the next one. One of these glasses
keeps the time for each village, for
which purpose the hours are sounded

j ammonia show their effect about as
quickly e«j any. The popular belief
that arsenic clears the complexion has
b<l many slllv women to kill them
selves with it In small, continued
doses.
It produces a waxy, Ivorylike appear
ance of the skin during a certain stage
of tlie poisoning, but its terrible after
effects have become too well known to
make it of common use as a cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly opposite from
that of arsenic. The first symptoms of
ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work hi ammonia
factories is a discoloration of the skin
of the nose and forehead. This gradu
ally extends over the face until the
complexion has a stained, blotched and
unsightly appearance. With people
who take ammonia into their systems
In small doses, as with their water
and food, these striking symptoms do
not appear so soon. The only effect of
the poison that Is visible for a time Is
a general unwliolesomeness and sal
