IT was tlie sound of own voice
that waleed uie from the state <>f
semiconscious wretchedness which 1
I call sleep. The hour was uncer j
tain, but the night seemed on the wane.
The room had the gray gloom of a dim
cell under ground, and the four walls :
lurked In shadow* like four dark rofced
Inquisitors watching borne tortured vie i
tlin on the rack.
I sat upon a pillow with my back
against the brazen grille at the head of |
the t>ed. The bars were as cold as an
Eskimo's idea of perdition, and no
doubt they printed their pattern on me

come quite usual with me, 1 began to
repeat the phrase that I had uttered
automatically before waking:
"As her husband is a citizen of Uliode
Island" —
Could it be possible that I had put
those words into u letter addressed to
the one person in the world who
mustn't know that the young woman
in question has a husband? I knew
myself too well to doubt that I had
done it. My memory, for all useful
purj>oses. is gone. I meet my friends
and do not know their names; I talk
with them and forget the subject
which is under discussion even while I
em in the very act of discussing it.
Hut when lam asleep—or sunk in
that purgatory of mental stress through
which I never can quite win my way
Into the heaven of sleep—l am liable
to remember anything—minute details
of my l»oyhood, (he exact turn of a
phrase or glance of an eye that mark
ed a scene of youth, but chiefly my j
own faults and errors. These, whether i
of long ago or of the day just done,
come into my mind with startling sud- j
dennesß and always with absolute ac- j
curacy, so far as I am able to deter- >
mine. Sometimes I repeat aloud my
own words or those of others; some- 1
times I utter vain protests against the
recurrence of such thoughts, but the
eud Is always the same—l pass through
purgatory in the wrong direction and
aui cast into the torment of Wide :
awake.
The way in which this memory had
come to me stamped it as genuine.
Moreover. I have a rule for such mat
ters, and I rely upon H with a sad cer
tainty that which Is good is a dream j
that which is bud is true.
1 arose, shivering, and huddled some '
clothes upon me, with a heavy hooded
bath rol>e over them Then I made a
fire of sea coal in the parlor and sat
down before it to meditate upon a
Mate of affairs which, briefly stated, j
was this:
Au old gentleman named Christopher (
Hooper, who lives in Sayville, on the
Maine coast, a pretty little town where
1 have spent a summer or two, had
written to me for a legal opinion upon
the status of certain property. He i
particularly desired to know what |
would become of it in case lie should
die without a will. He did not say
why he wished to die without a will, j
but 1 was of the opinion that he might ,
do worse. Indeed, I was considerably
relieved to find that such was iiis in
tention. If he should not change his
mind upon this point his granddaugh
ter, Gertrude Ellis, would inherit
about a quarter of a million dollars, to
the best of my knowledge and belief.
In regard to the property mentioned
in his letter asking my advice there <
might be a squabble over the matter of !
partition, and if litigation should arise
the situation would be complicated by
the fact that Gertrude was no longer a
minor, with a legal residence in Maine,
but was secretly married to Robert X.
Kills of Rhode Island.
Ellis was a young man who had had
a little money and had lost it through
neglecting the advice of Christopher
Hooper. This was a serious offense,
but he had cut himself off from pardon
by taking a position on a newspaper.
Mr. Hooper despised all newspapers as
a result of having been abused by one
of them In the ■ uairse of a political
campaign In 180S Ellis had met
Gertrude in summer vacations, zz J
had. He was still in his youth and
with a sunny view of life. It was let
ter that tie should win her. I had nev
er striven against him nor said one
word in my own cause. 1 had no ex
ulted notions of self abnegation. I
thought that this would be like other
sorrows, lint somehow it isn't.
They made a great friend of m-, and
when it came to their childish foily of
a secret marriage i was their sol.- con
ndant I tried lo •1 ■ -mid ■ them. Bell
itdily, generoudy. I don't know which.
iVrhaps the lueil.ng of ti.ose storms ol
different e».ns derations in my brain
may have hail so'ii i <> <' > with the
condition of i:. .'.t any ra.e. if |i hurt
lue it iMMiotitcd no on else. 1 liey were
lliarrii <1 as a j; aran. >■ to KIT that
old ('liris.opiiei lioi|i i - opp ><ition
should not wiec;. li. . ii |> s. I i.e cere
mouy occurred in New York, where
Gertrude spends her winiers w.tli au
auut who is so dull of wit that 1 think
tiie wedding might have taken place in
her own parlor and die have been none
the wiser I was the only accomplice.
It was some in >utiis later lhat 1 hail
my letter from Mr. Hooper. As I sat
down to answer it I said to myself: '"I
must Ih- careful. I don't know what
I'm about."
1 had done my best with it, aud my
best had been as bad as possible, for
those words had crept in:
"As her husband is a citizen of
Rhode Island"
The name of the state would Identify
the man, and as Hooper had once been
led to fear a secret marriage no lies,
though backed by all the resources of
perjury that are known to a N'ew \ork
lawyer, could repair the mischief.
Beyond doubt I had arranged matters
so that Mr. Hooper would not die with
out a will. No direct advice upon the.
point could have been half so effective.
If he lived long enough to lind a bottle
of ink after reading my letter Gertrude
would be disinherited.
What was to be done? t'pon this
point 1 tried t > think clearly. There
must be a way out of it. I said to my
self that if I could have ten minutes of
real sleep nay. Nut flVe-1 could think
iiiv way through ibis diltieulty. \\ itii
deliberation I laid my heavy head
against tli • cushioned chair and closed
my eyes despite the force of the springs
that held them open-springs that
pressed in.-i ssantly so that the orbits
of the eye.; were sore. I saw many vi
siotis tl: • e!d days at Sayville; Cer
trude. s,-v.Mit; , e:i years old, upon a ten
ii:- : e!t! -'i ■!.':l4 down the masses of
hi . hair disordered 1" the game, the
picture of youth; the first time I ever
saw her. Hut this lias nothing to do
with the letter. I must think of that
Mailed about half past lOof the even
ing, it had not yet started on its way
to Boston. Only one mail a day at Say
viile. I wrote a letter to Gertrude once
and beat it to Sayville by a full day's
time. If I take the fast express at 10
o'clock this morning I may be there in
time. In that case I'll find some way
to intercept the letter. I'll bribe a serv- (
ant. So that's all settled and off mv
mind, and I may sit here in tilts chair
and dream of things that aren't true.
All that is good is a dream.
It is a comfort to ride in a railroad
train. The engineer knows his way,
and the conductor, for a consideration,
will put an absent minded passenger
off at the proper station. If lie hap
pens to forget to render this service
why should the absent minded passen
ger make trouble? Rather let him lie
comforted by the thought tiiat some
one else has lost his memory. However,
Boston is a terminal, so there is no risk.
In Boston it Is raining to a degree
that Noah never saw the like of. The
roof of the cab in which I cross the
city roars with the flood that is de- •
scending upon it.
Beyond Boston *he train seems like a
submarine boat. Night closes in, and
the rain still falls. We are late at
Portland, later yet at the junction where 1
I must change to the little branch road, j
A man with a lantern leads me to a
little inn that looms in an ocean of rain.
He takes it for granted that I want to
goto bed. Probably he has never seen
n man who did not have that natural
inclination at such an hour of tlie
morning.
Next day the weather had cleared, i
The sun shone brightly, but the whole
"HAS HE lIEKN TO Till: MAIL?" I DEMANDED
region seemed to Lie a lake. I had many j
misgivings, yet the branch train start- !
ed confidently on time. It ran about |
ten miles and then stopped while the
track ahead was tested and repaired. |
A few miles farther along the same j
process was repeated, and so we crept |
down to Belfast, arriving too late for j
the boat across the bay.
Mails reach Sayville about 2 o'clock
in the afternoon, coming down by stage
along tlie east bank of the Penobscot.
Bj the tjest calculation that I could
make my letter had been in the very j
train that had taken me to the juno j
tion. It would probably fail to make |
tonnections at Bangor because of the
storm and would not go down to Say
ville until next day, but if I should
wait for tomorrow's boat I might be
too late to intercept the letter, the mar
gin of time being very narrow. There
fore it was advisable for me to hire my
own transportation across the bay.
It was 'J o'clock when we drifted into
Sayville harbor.
While 1 was walking up the main
street of the town i encountered Hi
ram Banks, who was Mr. Hooper's
handy man.
"RatliT-r early for summer visitors,
ain't it?" he inquired. "How'd ye
come? Sailboat, eh? You must 'a'
ben in a hurry. Coin' up to the house.
1 suppose. 1 knew Mr. Hooper'd writ
ten to ye. He's sick. Just took; quite
bad. I'm goin' for the doctm.
"Has he been to the mail?" I de
manded.
"Just come from there," he replied,
"when he was took."
So my letter had come despite my
hopes, and it had prostrated the old
man. Well, I might have expected as
much. What was to be done? My
mind refused to take hold of the prob
lem, but some instinct directed my
body. 1 Went to the telegraph ofiice
and sent this message to Gertrude:
"Matter of It. N. E. necessitates your
coming here at once."
Then I went to the Hooper house.
The old gentleman was quite ill, and
the doctor advised me not to try to see
him. I waited till evening, when he
was considerably Improved, and then
I went to his room. His tirst words
let me know that lie had not received
my letter, but in tlie meantime 1 had
had a telegram from Gertrude saying
that she had started, i had not the
resolution to tell Mr. Hooper this. Ger
trude must explain her own coining.
As to mine, I had no trouble, alleging
his letter as the excuse for it.
I went down to the Belfast boat to
meet Gertrude next day. My soul
feared the night of her.
The boat did not bring her, and 1
hurried back to the house. Rank-} was
standing on the steps.
"She came by the stage," said he."l
meant to tell ye 'twas likely."
"The stage?" 1 gasped.
"It gets in an hour earlier Thurs
days," said he. "lion't ye remember?"
OhlliurT»E WAS SI I riMJ HKSIIIE Till <<M'( II
••ReiiM»mlM»rY" 1 cHhum!, striking iiij
%\
forehead with my clinched hand "How
(should 1 remember anything? Where
is she?"
"Gone tip to his room," he replied.
"Have you heard" —
"I ain't heard nothing," said he. "Is
there likely to be a rumpus?"
I strode by him into tlie parlor and
flung my overcoat off upon the floor.
As 1 did so something fell out of the
breast pocket 1 picked it up. It was
my letter to Christopher Hooper.
I had forgotten to mail it! All this
menuil torment, this self accusation,
this scurrying across country, this in
sane summons to Gertrude, had been
wholly unnecessary. The atllictioii
which had caused the trouble had, in
the mystery of divine mercy, averted
it or would have done so but for my
own panic.
I ripped the letter open. It was a
lengthy Communication, but I knew
Just where to look for tlie bit of lunacy
that had dribbled from my pen. There
It stood, most plainly written down,
"As her husband is a citizen of Rhode
Island." The phrase had recurred to
me accurately in sleep.
Tlie need of tlie moment was for
quick and accurate thought upon the
present emergency, but there was no
one to think it. I stood wringing the
letter in my dripping hands until it
was a mere rag. and my mind was
wrung in precisely the same way. All
I could think of was that Gertrude was
in the room over my head. Without a
1 notion as to what I should say or do I
rushed up tlie stairs four at a leap.
Some one said "Come in!" as I
knocked at Hooper's door. Entering, I
; beheld tlie old gentleman lying upon a
couch and propped up with pillows.
His white hair floated round his head
, It was of a perfect whiteness and as
tine as the strands of a sunbeam. With
! ids clear blue eyes it gave him a cer
i tain beauty, and I marked a serenity
upon his countenance that was not
I quite its customary expression.
Gertrude was sitting upon a hassock
i beside tlie couch. She had been shed
! ding tears. As I entered she rose
■ quickly and with tlie spring and the
j grace of youth. The old man eyed her
i admiringly in the second's time before
slie spoke.
"I have confessed all to grandfather,
and lie has forgiven me," she said. "I
am so glad you sent for me!"
A WISE OLD FOX.
One Wlio Kor tt I.ohk Time Cleverly
i: 1 <>< l •-<! the llouiiilm.
i In common with other people who
have looked after fox coverts I have
uften been puzzled by the disappearance
of well known foxes and have become
convinced that the more intelligent
foxes, after they have been before
hounds several times, often turn their
wits to account to avoid being hunted.
In a small covert that 1 know well
there was always a fox. A tine big
fellow he was. I have more than once
met him when taking an early ride as
he loped quietly homeward after his
night's foraging. He never seemed -to
mind being seen. When tlie season
opened he gave us one or two capital
runs, on the second occasion only just
saving his brush by scrambling into an
unstopped drain in our neighbor's terri
tory. After that he was never to lie
found when hounds came. Yet he was
seen about as usual at other times. One
day when walking near tlie covert one
of tlie terriers, who knew all about
foxes, took a line to an old tree in tlie
hedgerow and began to whimper and
scratch at the roots. A careful exam
ination showed nothing. Tlie tree was
not difficult to climb. It proved to have
a hollow trunk, and there, at the bot
tom, was my friend curled up fast
asleep. His mask smiles on me as I
write. After a seven mile point aud
ou a good scenting day he met his fate.

WASHINGTON LETTER
(Special Correspondence !
An old song with new words IUPS ap
peared ill congressional circles. Mr.
Sherman and Mr. Tawncy, the sweet
est tenors in public life and leaders of
the house chorus, lane placed the mu
sic loving public under obligation to
them for having brought It out. The
title Is "Our Good Old 1 ncle Joe, and
It goes to the tune of"I Smoked My
Last < igar."
We have with us a pleasant guest.
One whom we love to know;
Of all the Rood souls the rarest, best.
His friends call "Uncle Jue."
CHORES.
Oh. he's a man to know.
This same old "I'nele Joe;"
Search high mid low
The stars helow,
There's none like "Uncle Joe."
This song was first rendered at a re

of Representative Sibley of Pennsyl
vania, when he entertained In honor
of ex-Speaker Henderson. Messrs.
Tawney and Sherman made a decided
hit In their rendering, particularly with
the following.
He's u witty, wise and tactful man.
His words do easy flow,
He seldom bets a bobtail flush,
Our esteemed "Uncle Joe."
There were several stanzas of like
heartfelt tribute, but enough has been
given to convey an idea of the spirit of
the tuneful lay.
Caution* Secretary Shan.
Secretary Shaw has decided to de
prive the sightseeing public who visit
Washington of one of the most popular
souvenirs of the trip. Ihe little busts
of Washington and Lincoln in green
back pulp, with the bits of bills in
green and red showing their genuine
ness, are to be abolished. Some quid
nunc In the treasury department lias
convinced the secretary that It is a
dangerous thing to allow the green
back pulp to be made up into such
trinkets and sold, as they often con
tain pieces of quite noticeable size, and
there Is a constant temptation to pick
them out and patch together a bill.
No one here ever heard of the thing
being done, and one of the expert
mathematics out at the Naval ob
servatory made a computation that in
the doctrine of chances it would not
be done but once In 8.000,000 yeurs.
Nevertheless Mr. Shaw Is a very care
ful man, and he will take no chances
even at the ratio named. The green
back pulp is hereafter to be more care
fully guarded and will be ground to a
line flour so that It will lost; all iden
tity with Its former noble purpose as
money. The bust modelers will be per
mitted to use this, but they say that
no one will want to buy the things un
less they can 6ee the bits of greenback
sticking out of them.

told a similar Inquirer that no gentle
man weighs more than 200 pounds,
don't you?" said the secretary.
"Yes; 1 believe he did say something

Plum I'll. .dint; II» Food.
In popular belief plum pudding,

London Lancet publishes the analysis
made of two puddings, of which one
was found to have a "nutrient value"

It appears that, although most agree

Probably the true albuminoids and

results; also the percentage of water

In the daytime, when tmiiligbt stim
ulates their nutrition, plants can do
no harm HI bedrooms, for then they
give off oxygen and are useful in al>-
Mtrhing from the air the carbon which
is injurious to animal life. The free
use which is made nowadays of flow
ers ami plants in our hospitals is In It
self sullicieiit proof that this la a whole
some means of ministering mental
cheer and comfort to the sick and snf
fering.
At night the ease is different. Then
nil plants and flowers are removed
from hospital wards, liecuusc they ex
hale the carbonic acid which they hav«
gathered from the soil and air and
llius give oIT by a process tdmllnr to
respiration a gas which is Injurious
\\ e may therefore conclude that dur
lug the hours of darkness, when the
respiratory process is active and the
nutritive j- at n standstill, plants should
have no place in our bedrooms What
is prudent In spacious wards |-< imper
ative in smaller chambers
