{Old Gascoyne 6 !By Charles 0 K Lot in Hildr et h (J> V Copyright, ll*K, hy Charles Lot in T V Hildreth y tl'O'O'O'O'O'OO'O'O'O'O'O'O HI . HAD arisen very late and was 1 dividing my attention between • ' the remains of my breakfast *■ and my newspaper, with 110 keen interest in either, when there came a light, hesitating rap at my door. "Come in!" I called without troubling myself to get up from my seat. door opened with a w i\er Ing motion, and an odd looking person age entered the room, made me a very low bow and carefully closed the door behind him. He was an old man, sev enty at least, 1 judged, small of stature and feebler than his age would have warranted. His knotted, bony hands shook with the constant uncertain movement which is the result rather of weak mentality than of physical disa bility. His long, grizzled locks and beard framed a pale, cadaverous face, out of which looked a pair of large, melancholy eyes In a sidelong, depre cating fashion which seemed habitual. A dreadfully shaky, woebegone old gentleman he certainly was, an object to excite laughter or pity, according to the mood of the beholder. I was not in a particularly expansive frame of mind myself at the moment, and it irritated me to see the old man there, crooking his knees uiul wagging his head with what ho evidently In tel.lied should be the most conciliating of salutes. "Well." said I sharply, "what do you want'" 1 thrust my hand Into my pocket In search of a small coin. "Pardon me," huskily Interposed the old man, comprehending my gesture. "You mistake my errand. I wish to ask If you are the Hon. Egbert Galla tin—Senator Gallatin?" "I ant Senator Gallatin. What, then?" "My—my mistress desires me to pre sent to you her card and requests the favor of a brief interview." I took the slip of pasteboard from his trembling fingers and read, "Mine. Ilenriette Doncourt, Paris." I breathed more freely. Mine. Don court of Paris was not likely to be one of those leeches which hang upon the legislative body, called "lobbyists," a species I knew only too well. "Mine. Doncourt would be greatly obliged, sir," continued the old man, fleeing that I was studying the card without reply, "if you would very kind ly call upon her." I put aside my paper and, donning a black coat, signified to the old man that I would follow him. With slow and shutlling steps he led me along the cor ridor and up three flights of stairs to the fifth floor. The ancient fellow was evidently very decrepit or very ill. With an impulse between pity and im patience I took his arm—how miserably thin It was—and supported him with the vigor of my more youthful muscles. "Come, friend," said I. "You are evi dently in bad health. Lean upon me, and I will give you u lift." Ho turned his gray, cadaverous face upou me with an expression of amaze. "God bless you for a kind hearted young gentleman," he muttered. "Per haps I ought to tell— Hut, no; I am cot to blame. No, no. What can I do?" With these enigmatic phrases he paused before a door and rapped. A woman's voice bade us enter, and I pai<»ed Into a handsome sitting room A lady simply but exquisitely attired !u a morning robe of rich texture arose to welcome me. During the second iu which I stepped forward to accept her offered hand I received what might be called a photographic impression of her. She was distinctly the most beau tiful woman I had ever seen. She was very tall, but her proportions were so perfect that her height was not ap parent. The dress she wore outlined and accentuated the magnificent sweep and curve of her noble figure. Every movement she made, every gesture, was marked by a certain sinuous grace which might have been termed leonine had it not been so exquisitely femi nine. Her face was In full keeping with her figure. The complexion was clear and pale, with no trace of color in the cheeks, but of a waxen, transparent bue which suited well her dark auburn Lair, glimmering with flecks of red gold as she inovt <1 in the light of the morning sun stealing between the nar row partings of the window curtains. Her mouth would have been beautiful Lut for a certain firm compression, something hard and scornful, which seemed not to belong to it naturally. Her ey< s were very largo, steel gray and wonderfully brilliant. Such was Ilenriette Doncourt as I first beheld her. "It is kind of you, sir," she said In a low, musical tone, "to grant a few mo ments of your time to an entire stran *<-r " "In what way can I be of assistance to you, madame?" I asked, seating my self near her. "I hardly krow how to explain my self." said the lady, with downcast eyes and bosom hea\ ing with emotion. "Per haps I had b< -4 speak frankly." She bent upon me the full glory of her eye. Such eyes certainly I had novi r seen before "i am American by birth she went ou, "though I married in I At the death of my hus band M Doi.court. I resolved to return to the country of my birth, but now that I am here I find all my relatives and friends of the old days either dead or dispersed. M. Doncourt used fre quently to speak of an old college com panion. Lgbert Gallatin, at the Lycee. Last tight, utterly broken hearted, lonesome, friendless, I saw your auiue In a paper and, to my great Joy, dis covered that you we;, a guest in this hotel." "Yes," I r> : I I."I remember Doncourt at • 1 We were not very close < ' it is true, but that shall 1. i" difference in the servlc I shall endeavor to offer his widow. Command inc. madame." "I"p not me me dear Mr. Galla tin," replied the b< aiitiful woman. "All 1 1 si, of you i- simple friendship. I have ample means, but I tin so utterly aloi e in this treat country, where I ex pected to Hud the love of relatives and old associates, that the sight of a kind ly face now and again will be nil that 1 can require." "If mine will serve your purpose, ma dame," 1 said warmly, "you may count upon it." I am forty years old and a cynic, so far as the passions go, but I left that room shall I call it in love?—well, at least as utterly befogged und fascinat ed by that wonderful woman as ever a school' oy was by the smile of a girl. I >uring the days that followed I vis ited her frequently, and at every visit the fascination grew and deepened upon me In the beginning my passion for her was tinctured with something like a doubt. I was oppressed with— do; I cannot call it distrust but 1 was not satisfied There was a jar, a dis cord, a want, SOUK- where, but it was in FF~ 1 r /0 "ll is kind ■if you, Kir." myself, I knew perfectly well- in my own cold, suspicions, world hardened nature. Hut faith grew with love, and there came an hour when I gave my self tip completely and without ques tion to that beautiful and gentle worn* an, the tli-t and only passion of my tumultuous life. The old servant, Gascoyne, puzzled me not a little I had always felt a profound pity lor him and hud never failed to speak kindly to him. Evi dently 1 had won his regard.' But I could not understand his actions. Two or three times when I met him on the stairs on my way to his mistress' room lie had detained me as it he had meant to tell me something, hut his courage seemed to tail, and he had none 011, groaning and muttering to himself in the Imbecile fashion habitual with him. Once as I pau>ed at llcnrictte's door before knocking I heard the old man's voice raised in loud, quavering accents: "I tell you. I won't have it. lie has been kind to me, and 1 won't have him made game of." '•I think you had better attend to your own affairs," replied the clear, cold voice of Ilenriette. I do not require your advice. Leave me." The old man came stumbling out of the apartment As he saw me he caught me convulsively by the arm. "Don't go in there!'' ho whispered hoarsely. "Don't, sir. don't! Go away! Don't see her again! I warn you, she" — "Gascoyne, who Is there?" asked the calm, sweet voice of his mistress from within. The old man seemed actually to collapse. His hand dropped from HP, sleeve, and his head drooped in its habitual attitude of humility. "Mr. Gallatin, madame," he respond ed hastily. "Why don't you go in, sir? She expects you." "I am afraid I shall have to pension poor Gascoyne," she said gently as I entered and seated myself near her. "lie grows more eccentric and trouble some every day. Yet I shrink from do ing so. lie has been in my family since my mother was a young girl." I was called away from the hotel the same night upon sudden ami »™»ent lousiness. During the journey I came to a fixed resolution. If Ilenriette I >Oll - would accept me, 1 would make Aer my wife. And I had hope-yes, if aiy experience of women went for any thing she loved ine. The old haze of doubt had cleared away from iuy mind. There was no long» r a discordant note in the anthem of love which my heart Bang. I reached the city, ou my return, an hour before midnight. As I drove to ward the hotel a lire engine dashed past with clangor of bells, trampling of hoofs and shouting of the rabble. The sky grew lurid red over the house tops as we approached our destination, and finally the driver pulled up sharp ly. "Can't take you any farther, sir," he said "Your hobl is utirc." And Ilenriette! 1 sprang out of the cab, pushed my way through the crowd, thrust aside the policemen who would have stayed me and arrived in the street before the blazing building. My own rooms upon the second floor were ull aflame, but I gave no heed to them. My gaze was fixed upon Henrietta's wii.io'.s on the :.:':h iloor A thick cloud of black smoke w.i- pouring from them. I caught a passing fireman by the arm and shouted a frantic question in itis ear. lb- shook his head. He did not know who had escaped 01 who yet remained In the burning ediiicc At this instant a wild, universal shriek from the crowd drew my utteiiion to tlv burning building again Tiler *, in one of the windows on the 1 th floor, stood a weird figure It wis that of an old man waving his arms in passionate ap peal to those below I recognised him. It was < Jaseoy in ! "Jump! Jump!" "No; don't jump!" "Wait!" "Ladders! Ladders!" "Hurry! There! Shove up tho.-e hiddi . ' "Great he iv 11! He will be burned to death!"

I found Ilenriette Doncourt reclining upon a sofa in temporary lodgings. I w as-liocked at the awful change which had tak> 11 1 lace in hei Her face wus ghastly, her eyes hollow, wild, gluant i .g with fever, 11. r whole aspect was that of one standing perilously near the verge of madness. "You have come," she cried as I ap proached her couch "you have come to hear my confession. Egbert Galla tin, do you know what I am? I will tell you an ;ul\> nture-s; yes, just that. Trading upon my beauty, 1 have made men my game.

Hilt if you desire revenge, listen!" She paused and drew her breath heavily. "Old Gascoyne, the servant, the drudge who gave Ins life for mine last night, was"- she sank back upon her pillow and la\ looking up at me with fever bright eyes a moment—"my father!" She pointed mutely to the door, and without a word 1 went. WHY NOT SPEAK ENGLISH? Tile t lie of Some Wnrib 111 the Sin gular unil l'laral. Is cherub an English word? If so Its plural is cherubs, and not the He brew word cherubim. Is lexicon an English word, and criterion also? If so their plurals are lexicons and rri terions, not iix* Greek lexlca and cri teria. Is appendix an English word, and index and vortex? If so the plu rals are appendixes and Indexes nnd vortexes, and not the Greek appendices, Indices and vortices Is memorandum an English word, and curriculum, gym nasium. medium and sanatorium? If so their plurals are memorandums and curriculums, gymnasiums, mediums and sanatorium?, and not the Latin memorana, curricula, gymnasia, media and sanatoria. Is formula an English word and nebula also? If so the plural is formulas and t 'mlas and not the Latin formula- and nebular?. Is beau an English word, and bureau? If so the plural is beaus and bureaus, and not the French beaux and bureaux. Is libretto an English word? If so its plural Is librettos, and not the Ital ian libretti. Why not speak English? Crisis Is thoroughly acclimated in the English language, and so Is thesis, and yet there are those who prefer crises and theses to the normal and regular crisises and tliesises. Perhaps they are seeking to avoid the unpleas ant hissing of the English plural; but none the less they are falling into ped antry. Hrander Matthews in Harper's Magazine. Tin' Friendly Cntfinh. There is a species of fish that never looks at the clothes of the man who throws in the bait, a fish that takes whatever is thrown to it, and when once hold of the hook never tries to shake a friend, but submit- to the in evitable, cro>-. - his legs and says "Now I lay ine" and comes out on the bank and S,M UIS to enjoy being taken. It is a lish that Is a friend of the poor, and one that will sacrifice Itself in the interest of humanity. That Is the fish that the state should adopt as its trade mark and cultivate friendly relations with and stand by. We allude to the bullhead. The bullhead never went back on a friend. To catch the bullhead it Is not neces sary to tempt his appetite with a por terhouse steak or to display an ex pensive lot of fishing tackle. A pin hook, a piece of liver and a cistern pole are all the capital required to catch a bullhead. He lies upon the bottom of a stream or pond In the mud thinking.

The famous iron pillar of Delhi is d' lit with in Cassier's Magazine. The pillar is a solid shaft of wrought Iron, sixteen Inches in diameter and of a length that is variously reported. The total length is from forty-eight to sixty feet under ground and above, Includ ing a capital of three and one-half feet. The pillar contains about eighty cubic feet of metal and weighs about seventeen tons. The metal is, of course, charcoal Iron, made directly from ore in small billets; but how it was welded up 110 one can tell, as no record exists of any early method of dealing with great masses of wrought Iron. Ar. inscription roughly cut or punched upon the column states that Itnjah Dhara siilnlued a people in the Surdliu, named Vahllkos, and obtained with his own arm an undivided sov ereignty on the earth for a long pe riod. The date of the inscription has been referred to the third or fourth century after Christ, but on this au tlior!ti"S are at variance. Anothtr \itine For It. "And now," said the Inquisitive per son who had been asking all sorts of Impertinent questions of the raw boned mountaineer who sat at his cabin door smoking 11 corncob pipe— "now I will explain to you why I have been so Inquisitive. I am a soclologlal investigator and I am doing this In the interest of science and humanity." "ilaow tilings do change!" remarked the mountaineer as he leisurely stretched himself.

"Say," snld I «>n excitedly, sitting tip, "I know something. You know Mrs. Wilson's nephew, .Tim Wilson, who couches us at football?" "Yes." "W* 11, 1 heard duddy tell motlier that he's fallen In love with Amy Smlthers. I>ld you ever hear of such a silly-a great big fellow like him In love? lint he Is," continued Don. looking around, with a disgusted air. "Amy Smlthers," said Ted, with the air of a connoisseur, "is the prettiest girl In the town. She's a hrirk, too, and the twst Sunday wlvool teacher I ever had. I Intended to marry her myself." "Well, >"U can't," continued Don, "nor Mr. X'Clson either, for daddy says Mrs. Wilson Is awful mad about it oil account of Mrs. Smlthers being a farm er and talking bnss and having whis kers, and Amy's her niece, you see." "Well, the idea!" said Polly indig nantly. "Why, Mrs. Smlthers Is an aw ful good woman, and you don't think a bit about her whiskers when you know her." "Mrs. Smlthers is mad, too, and says Mrs. Wilson is a stuck up thing and Amy's not allowed to have anything to do with that nlco Mr. Jim Wilson. Daddy's about, crazy with bearing both sides and not being able to do a tiling about It, and he says he's glad he and mother are going to the synod next week, and he hopes something will happen while he's gone to fix things up. So let's us." Five Tlmrstons with renewed Interest in life sat up. "How?" they queried simultaneously. Then Molly, struck with an idea, said. "I ».in Thurston, how'd you ever hear all tlii;'.-" "Had the toothache the other night ami couldn't sleep; so I laid down on tin' Hour beside that drum thing that comes up from the sitting room, and daddy was talking so I couldn't help but hear." ' aid Don. "You ouulit to have coughed or some thin-'." said Molly severely. "Never mind," said Polly; "I'm glad he didn't; it's so interesting. Let's think what to do." "I.et's have a dinner party," said Molly, "and ask the bishop to cot: and .Mrs. Wi! i and Mrs. Smltle r and Miss Amy and Mr. Jim, and ask 'em all separate and tell t • :n not to tell any one, but to eon e and meet the bishop. Then when they're all here W''ll have it all dark and Miss Amy and Mr. .lim in the library concealed, and we'll spring the lights on, and no hody'll dure get m.,d with the bishop tin and they'll all say, 'Heaven bless yon, my children.'" "1I"W can we with mother gone?" asked Polly. "We'll . t Mrs. l'lannegan to help, and we'll have it the evening father and mother come home." "Wl.ere'Jl we get the money?" risked Ted, suddenly developing a practical Side. "We've got a dollar apiece saved for missiom ; we can use that and save some more for missions," suggested 1 >otl. "This is a kind of mission, I think," said Polly, trying not to wonder what her father would think about it. With the Thurstons to plan was to act; so Polly and Molly flew to the house for paper to write out their menu. Dummy Dee was to get on hid wheel and co over to the bishop's. The bright spots in the busy, over worked bishop's life were usually sup plied by the Thurstons. So as lie was coming out of his door with a pile of letters in his hand his heart cheered within him at the sight of the somewhat ball-like figure of Dummy Dee dismounting in haste from his w heel "Oh, bishop, I'm so glad you aren't gone away," began Dummy Doe after they had shaken hands, "because we want to fix something with you. Can you come to a kind of a supper or din ner party at our house next week Thursday?"

Whether the parents be Buddhists or Shlntoists It matters not, for in either case the children rarely take any part in the religious life of their parents or elders, and indeed usually grow up In blissful ignorance us to what it is all about. True, they may occasionally be taken to the tem ple and taught to rub their palms to get her, clap thrice and Incline their heads toward the shrine as they t'«ss their offering of rin through the wood en grating of the huge money till. They may have some vague notion that there is something meritorious In all this, but nothing more, although i every Japanese home has a latticed niche, or kamidana, dedicated to the j service of the household Lares and Penates, or Daikoku and Eblsu as they appear in Japan.

So Dummy Dee rode happily away to where the live were struggling with the menu, which seemed never to pro gress beyond Ice cream and fried chick en, with candy interludes.

Then Mr. Wilson and Miss Amy Smitliers were sworn to secrecy and Invited. Mrs. l'lannegan was engaged to help about the dinner. She made up in good nature what she lacked in skill, which was considerable. The day of the feast was a busy one anu pi', .id ally, they cousid r ,, d. a half hob lav from school. Mrs. Wilson sent flowers and after a consultation with the open minded Dummy Dee ar ranged some matters with her own cook to supply some of Mrs Flanne gan's deficiencies. The guests, assembling on the even ing, were met by Dummy Dee, who led them into the darkened parior. "There' a chair," he would say, leading them one by one to a haven of safety. "The lights will come on by and by." And presently, when they all were in the parlor, the Thurstons switched on the lights and waited In various atti tudes and places for things to happen.
