Her arm cluug about the man's mus cul&r neck as he tried to dodge the iui pul»ive caresses. Laughing faintly, ho curried his light burden across the street, put her down in Safety and beckoned to a white faced, horrified woman on the other skie of the track. Curly did not quite comprehend how be had done it. Just an instinctive leap, a clutch at the pink frock, and the trol ley's fender had grazed his leg as be Jerked forward, trying to cast the lit tle girl from him, with a flash of thought that he himself was goue. Voices cursing the uiotorinan, who wtut not In the least at fault; voices &ud hands applauding hummed in his ear without meaning as he straighten ed up with a long breath of relief, his eye* on her grateful, childish face." "Marry me, eh?" he whispered mis chlevously as he diseutagled the cling ing Angers. "Oh, no, my dear, you wouldn't; not if you were ten years older." "I would! I'd be twenty-one theu," holding his none too clean haud with both her tiny ones. "I'm going to wait for you. Even day I'll remember Just how ju look, and"— "You tot!" smiled her rescuer, hasti ly pulling from his breast pocket an envelope and extracting a card photo graph from n rather soiled bunch. "Here take this. Look at it once In awhile. That'll be thanks enough for me, and maybe you won't entirely for get a poor fellow who won't forget you In a long while. Bless your little white •oul!

Have you thanked the klud gentleman prop erly? Which Is he, Allena?" "He's gone," answered her charge, with a wall of disappointment, her glance roving through the crowd. "Oh, "O&AJi MI! I IK)N*T KVKN KNOW TOUB NAME.'' dear! I didn't even find out his name, l're got his picture, though, to remem ber him by. See, Charlotte." The governess gazed and bit her lip. "A pretty hard face," she murmured. "It isn't!" cried Allena In wrath. "It was Just saintly when I kissed him." "You kissed him! You dreadful child! Come home at once. You! Judge Raceway's daughter! Why, the man might have had consumption— or—or germs. He may have given them to you!" "He gave me his picture, anyway, aud you and your old germs can go to pot," retorted Allena impolitely. "Bay, you needn't drag me along, Charlotte Spleer. i can walk.'* • •••••• Curly stood Irresolutely in front of the saloon. The crowd Jostled hlin, but he didn't move along. A flashily dreased man seized his arm. "You're shaky this morning, boy," he accosted cordially. "Let's get bi fida. I'll break a small bottle with you. Thut will put you on your feet." "I'm on my feet now," returned the other roughly. "Let me alone!" His companion stared. "Curly!" he coaxed good naturedly. "Come on, now. liou't stand here in the sun. Yes, yes, I know how a fellow feels sometimes. It's the nerves. Settle '«n, and you'll be all right." "You don't know how I feel. Joe, and you never will," smiling queerly. "I've had an experience. Just say to the crowd that I've cut my hair, and the sooner they forget Curly the bet ter It will please me. Say I'm Todd Bhlpman now, the same who came among you two years ago, when I was kicked out of college. Joe, I'm twenty-one today. Lord knows, I want a drink, but I don't take It. I've a little money coming, and I was go ing to 'blow' It In good shape, but something has changed my mind. You've been a good friend and square. Goodby and luck to you." The museular figure straightened with a half friendly, hulf warning flash in the gray eyes. A strong momentary pressure of fin gers which were quick at dealing poker hands and Shlpmnn's broad shoulders swung down the street. "Beats me!" meditated his sporting friend and, more softly, "Maybe he Is right, though twenty one- birthday new leaf hum!" • •••••• "Show him In," suid the Judge, a bit testily "Right here in the library, John.

It was undoubtedly a mean trick of Sawyer, lie was a big man, and when he came home late a few evenings ago and found his little friend, Ben Al len, with whom he shared his lodgings, asleep in the middle of their common bed he made little to do, but when he retir»*d, with a little effort, he kicked his small friend onto the tioor. Ben said nothing at the time, but when a few evenings later he found that Sawyer had taken up a similar position in b<-d he determined to have his revenge. Stealthily climbing over the huge form, he braced his back against the wall and. placing his feet against his friend's spine, gave a tremendous push. The effect was Instantaneous, if not exactly w hat had been anticipated. The big man moved, but the bed moved with him, opening a wide space between It and the wall, through which Ben disappeared. The little fellow had shot himself out of bed. Thte\li»!i Ilet-N. Buckner in his "Psychic I.ife of Ani mals" speaks of thievish bees which In order to save themselves the trouble of working attack well stocked hives in masses, kill the sentinels anil the Inhabitants, rob the hives and carry off the provisions. After repeated en terprises of this description they ac quire a taste for robbery with violence. They recruit whole companies, which get more und more numerous, and finally they form regular colonies of brigand bees. But it is a still more cu rious fact that these brigand bees can be produced artificially by giving working bees a mixture of honey and brandy to drink. The bees soon ac quire a taste for this beverage, which has the same disastrous effects upon them us upon men. They become ill ills posed and irritable and lose all desire to work, and finally when they begin to feel hungry they attack and plunder the well supplied hives. One MAII'N Innniif Iden.

The Tltouichta Tlint Killed the Mnlilen and the Old Lad}*. It was 9 o'clock in the evening, the night of the great dance In the assem bly room. She was almost ready. A few final touches, a little readjustment before the mirror, and then, beautiful and stately, she stepped out into the hall and slotvly descended the stairs. She was very young, but her calm, serious face, her ease and perfect poise and other certain little gestures of surety in herself indicated that slio was not new at the business of the evening. Somehow there was a touch of sadness to her face. As she passed down the stairs she paused In front of the library, with her party wrap over her arm. In the li brary, her face half shaded from the evening lamp, sat an old woman. Her sliver hair was smoothed back from a forehead that time had not spared from wrinkles. She looked up from the book she was reading with a bright smile. "Off again, my dear?" she said. "Yes, grandma. It's another dance I had to go. Rut it's so tiresome." She sat down wearily and gazed for a moment absently into the dickering fire on the hearth. There was a brief silence; then the old woman spoke: ".My dear, you do not seem yourself tonight. Of what are you thinking?" Her granddaughter looked up. "Of the past," she said, with a sigh. And then she said as she rose and gathered up her wraps: "But, granny, you seem unusually cheerful tonight. <»f what, pray, are you thinking?" And the old woman replied, "My dear. I was thinking of the future."- Twentieth Century Home. Kour Kitreturn. * The coldest place on earth Inhabited by man is Verkhoyansk, above the arc tic circle, in northeastern Siberia.

The Way u Woman ami Her Two Children Were Sated From the II ii rri«*n ne of l'lniue anil I'll uic by a Straiifter Who W'iin 111 to & leafed. All great conflagrations that are at tended with loss of life have, as a rule, their serio comic as well as their tragic incidents. Many peculiar escapes have been recorded, but the following story of how one woman and her two chil dren were saved from death in the awful horror of the Iroquois theater in Chicago, where so many hundreds per ished in the hurricane of flame and panic, as told by Miss Kli/.abeth A. Reed in the Chicago Record Herald shortly after the fearful tragedy, Is unique In many ways: Mrs. Henry Stirling, with her two children, sat In the fateful Iroquois theater on that dreadful afternoon. Little Bob was next to the aisle, then the mother, and Dorothy sat on the other side. Beyond the six-year-old girl there was a vacant seat, but little heed was given to it as the spectacular drama went on and the wondering lii tle folks looked open eyed upon the scenes before tlieni. At last an uncertain stop came down the aisle and a well dressed tnan lurched into the vacant seat. The cur tain was up, but he was an old theater goer, and as the extravaganza was not entirely new to him he turned to the child. Her conliding blue eyes an swered his appeal for friendship; there was wonder in the expressive little face, but no fear, even when he ven tured to lay a caressing hand upon the golden curls. Mrs. Stirling shrank from his con taminating touch upon Dorothy's head. He saw or felt her loathing and said brokenly, "Don't you be 'fraid—ish all right—all right sweetish li'l girl ever I shaw sweetish li'l girl ever I shaw." The gay drama went on, the crowd cheered, the children clapped their hands, and their merry laughter min gled with the applause, but the stran ger still kept his bleared eyes upon the lovely child. Every few minutes his hand would stray lovingly over the sunny head and some expression of endearment would fall from his uncer tain lips. At last Mrs. Stirling called the attention of an usher to the pro longed annoyance, and a remonstrance was made, but the answer came, "You go way ish all right—all right—sweet ish li'l girl ever 1 shaw— sweetish li'l girl ever I shaw." Again the big hand touched the gold en hair, and this time it strayed down ward and took the little hand in lov ing clasp. The child looked fearlessly into his face and smiled. The mother grew more and more nervous. Again an usher was called and a complaint made. The slender young man looked at the big fellow and concluded that prudence was the "better part of valor," so he went to consult with another about effective methods of getting the Intruder out of the house. The stranger looked at the stage again; this time he saw a tiny flame rapidly spreading to the scenery. Ris ing instantly, he took little Dorothy in his arms. Stepping beyond the mother and unheeding her frightened remon strance, he swung the child upon one shoulder and with the other hand caught up little Bob; then with both of them pressed closely In his strong arms he walked out of the house. The doubly frightened mother Involunta rily followed him. This precious instant was the mo ment of salvation. Another minute— another half minute and it would have been too late. They had nearly reached the entrance when a cry of horror rang through the house, follow ed by screams of terror and shrieks of pain. Without further volition of their own they were swept into the street. Wholly dazed by the awful shock Mrs. Stirling pleaded, "l'ut them down put them down now:" "Xo, thash all right. Where do you want togo?" "Right up this way to the Ashland block," she answered. Then the strange party pushed on through the crowd which was already rushins with helping hands to the scene of th* disaster. Lurching from one side of the walk to the other and apparently in con stant danger of falling, he still carried his precious burden safely. Once within the protecting doors of the great Ashland block the elevator cur ried them to one of the higher floors, where Mrs. Stirling rushed into her husband's office eryng, "Oh, Henry, the theater is burning, and this man has brought the children out!" Although not half comprehending the horror, the father put his hand in his pocket and drew out a twenty dol lar bill, which he offered with profuse thanks. But he and his money were alike ignored. With a majestic sweep of the hand the drunken hero answer ed, "Oo way—l don't want your nion ey—go way tlutsh all right thash the sweetish li'l girl ever 1 shiuv sweetish li'l girl ever 1 shaw," and then he stag gered out of the office. FIRST USE OF GAS. Thi- Way tin* lilra of I hliik It For li«ht Was It Idle* u led. Great was the amazement of all Eu rope when at about the close of the century William Murdoch discovered that could be used for Illuminating purposes. So little was the invention understood by those who hud not seen it in use that even the great and wise (?) men of the British parliament laughed at the idea. "How can there be light without a wick?" said one member of that august body, with a wink anil a knowing nod. Even the great Sir Humphry I»avy ridiculed the idea of lighting towns and cities with gas. He one day asked Murdoch, "Ko you mean to use the dome of St. Paul's for your gas meter?" Sir Walter Scott also made merry of the gas idea and ;>f the coming attempt to "illuminate London with smoke from a tar fac tory." When the house of commons was finally lighted with the new illuminant, the architect and custodian of the building, who imagined that the gas ran as fire through the pipes, insisted that they lie re moved several inches from the wall to prevent the building from taking lire! Several distinguished members were also observed carefully touching the pij.es with their gloved fingers and then smelling of them to sec if they could detect the odor of burned leather.

I asked of a railroad othcial at the Charing Cross station, London. "The Russian, sir." "What Kussian?" "Don't know, sir. He's some big man in his country. These people are to see Ului off, sir. lie's goiuK home." I stepi>ed into the compartment where I had engaged a seat. There 1 found two elderly women with several children, all of one party. Heyond, by a window, sat a young woman whose appearance interested me at once. Never have 1 seen such an expression on any human face. The only descrip tion I can give of it is that it reminded me of a picture I had once seen of an early Christian martyr who had nerved herself to be buried alive. Hut this gives only a vague idea of the woman's whole appearance. She was well dressed, and her features and bearing indicated one of the highest class. It was Impossible for her to conceal a mental restlessness that showed itself especially In the eyes, which were constantly moving. The train made but one Btop between London and Folkestone, where the party of women and children got out, leaving only me and the woman I have iK'en trying to describe In the com partment. "Thank heaven," she said to me Inn contralto voice, "they are goue! I am sure you will not object to my smoking a cigarette in this compartment, though it is not a smoker." "Certainly not, madam." "You speak French'/" she asked In that language. I assured her that I did, and after that we conversed In the French lan guage. I took out some cigarettes and lighted one to keep her company, but she insisted 011 my smoking one of hers, which, she said, had been made expressly for her from a recipe fur nished by a member of the suit of the sultan of Turkey. 1 threw mine away and took one of hers. 1 knew at once that it contained opium, but how much or what other drugs I did not know. One thing I (lid know. I was rapidly passing into a delightful trance, which every whiff seemed to make still more delightful. 1 saw the woman watching me, and when she was satisfied that I was powerless she opened a hand bag beside her and took out something rolled in brown paper, opened it, took r>ut a wedge shaped piece of wood and, seizing my chin, opened my mouth and gagged me. This done, she took out a timetable, which she scanned, looked at her watch, cast a glance out of the win dow, then momentarily gave way to a terrible depression. I Judged that she was obliged to wait for something, and on the eve of some move—one involv ing life and death, for instance—there is nothing like delay to break one down. I noticed that we were passing through a thickly settled district and that as soon as we had passed again into the country she nerved herself and prepared for something she was about to do. Iler first act was to disrobe. But in stead or' displaying the undergarments of a woman site lay bnre a man's out er clothing. Her woman's attire was merely a covering, which she threw out of the window. Next she took a glass globe about two Inches in diam eter from her satchel, and the satchel followed the clothing. Then she or rather he, for by this time I had made up my mind that the person was a young man -cast a glance at me which seemed to satisfy him, took another look at his watch, peered out at the passing landscape and after casting up his eyes and muttering a prayer climbed out of the window ami let him self down on the footboard. Ilad I not been under the Influence of opium I should have been profoundly moved by all this. As It was it seem ed but a part of my dream, and the moment the singular being passed out of it he was forgotten. I remember be ing Jarred by an explosion, but did not at the time connect It with the young mail. Whatever occurred was hushed tip. When we reached Folkestone a guard was obliged to carry me onto the channel boat, and I did not come to myself again before we reached Boulogne. I did not get an oppor tunity to Interview any of the passen gers, and the whole affair was to me something of :i mystery. Indeed I fan cied 1 had dreamed it under the influ ence of an opium cigarette. If a bomb was really exploded with a view to kill Ing the Uussian official In another com partment, it failed. My theory, based on the view that it was a real occur rence, was that the assailant dropped the bomb beforo he was ready to ex plode It in or under the compartment occupied by the Uussian. Two years afterward I was in St. Petersburg standing in a crowd watch ing for the emperor to pass on his way to review some of his troops. Among the members of his staff I saw a face that astonished me. 1 never foiget faces, and i certainly could nenn* for get this one. It was the face of the young man who had drugged me on the train between Boulogne and Folke stone. Happening to glance down upon me. he caught my astonished glance, which doubtless helped him to recog nize me. The cavalcade passed on, and I returned to my hotel. That night I was trying vainly to sleep, for I was troubled about being recognized as a nihilist and been rec ognized by him in the czar's suit, when there was i knock on the door, and a man entered. "There is a midnight train for the border," he said. "(Jet up and take It " In an hour I was on the train with mv visitor, who saw me into another country. CEDItCK A. I'AKKV.U.

Dr. Itainsford was in the middle of his sermon when he chanced to look down from the high pulpit to where the members of the choir were seated in a larpe boxlike pew, screened from the congregation by a curtain. Much to tli<' preacher's surprise, one of the men in the clioir put his arm around a girl, drew her head down on his shoul der and then looked up at Dr. Itains ford and winked. The preacher stopped his sermon, walked down out of the pulpit and told the rector the members of the choir were acting outrageously. The rector walked up to the pew, drew down the curtain with a jerk and ex posed the spooning couple to the view of the congregation. Then Dr. Itainsford resumed his ser mon. A minute later he chanced to look down the main aisle, and there, walking in solemn procession, were a hen and a dozen chicks. To crown It all, when the sexton tried to drive them out lie was so drunk he fell right 011 top of the hen And then from his place the old rector cried out: "I/ot her alone, John; she is doing no harm!"
