It was this fact w hich enabled him to treat with silent contempt the Imperil sence of a messenger boy, who, after razing fixedly nt his, the officer's, feet for a few moments in a particularly disconcerting manner, described a wide detour about them with every manl testation of the liveliest alarm, the While indulging In totally irrelevant remarks regarding the absurdity of the city authorities going to the ex pense of engaging steam rollers when they had such chVient substitutes al ready at hand. Ignoring this Impertinence, though mentally noting the boy for a sound culling on the first suitable opportunity. llie policeman passed on, relaxing not one Jot of his dignity until out of sight ot the window in question. Then, with a slight smile of pardonable vanity at the treat he iiad given his admirer, he relapsed into his usual stolid expres sion. Aias, If rolli'oman Walking had only known that two pairs of blue eyes had Ibeen surveying him, It Is possible his Self-satisfaction would Hot have been o great. A slight digression is necessary to explain the circumstances of the case. Wan is full of deceit, and roliceman iWalklns was no exception to the rule, rossessing as lie did the fiffectloi.s of Mary Ann, the cook at No. 1444 Madison avenue, whose chnrnis and rulsinn were noted for many heals around, it might have been supposed that he would have been abundantly satisfied. Put It was not so. One string to ills bow was r.ot sufficient; he must have two. Consequently, al though as a policeman lie remained tanch to Mary Ann, when duty and uniform were laid aside, ami he re lapsed into plain Robert Wntkins, ho iegniled Ills leisure hours by paying Mention to Susan, a pretty maid ser vant in a villa in the suburbs of the city. As a distance of several miles lay be tween the respective dwellings of the 1wo ladles, the officer's duplicity might have remained undetected for an In definite period. But fate had decreed otherwise. It was a plate that did the business an ordinary dinner plate. In an evil tour Susan broke it, and her mistress seized the occasion to expatiate on the carelessness of servants in general and Susan in particular, in an oration Which lasted ten minutes by the clock, and concluded with dismal prophesying as to the fate which must inevitably be in store for a country in which such things occurred. A spirited reply by Susan by no means tended to bring tranquillity to the ruffled domestic atmosphere, hnd the debate culminated a few hours later In Susan leaving the house with a smile on her face, a month's wages in her pocket, and a satchel in her hand. Being a sensible girl, and having no flesire to eat the bread of idleness, she at once proceeded to an intelligence nice, where she entered her name. IWithln a week she was offered, and accepted, a situation at No. 1444 Madl eon avenue, and on the nest day en tered upon her new duties. Thus had fate contrived to bring the erring po liceman to book. Mary Ann and Susan had not been long in each other's company before they commenced to exchange tender confidences, ind it is not surprising that after many shy giggles each con fessed that her affections were worth "Sy bestowed, and with a touching dis Jay of loyalty maintained the superla ve excellences of the possessor. In leed, the warmth with which each up Jieid the perfection of her lover all pneonseious of the fact that both were referring to the same individual threatened seriously to bring about a t upture of their new-formed friendship, and It was only by the tact of Mary 'Ann that this catastrophe was averted.

"That's my liohei't. Isn't ho hand some'" "Your liobrrl!" echoed Susan, in amazement. "What are you talking about? That's my Hob!" "Your Hob! How dare yon! of all llw Impertinence! He wouldn't look at the likes of you not through the big end of n telescope. Why, he's been keeping company with me ever since lie came to this beat, and we are goln to get married next spring. So there!" "I don't believe a word you say! That's my Pobl Do yon think I can't believe my own eyes? And we arc go ing to get married, and live In the Bronx, just as soon ah ho can furnish a Hat." The dispute waxed fierce, and It is hard to say where It would linve ended had not the ringing of n bHI called Susan to duties upstairs. When the girls next met, n couple ot hours later, they were In a calmer frame of mind. Mutual explanations followed, and the duplicity of the policeman was estab lished beyond all possibility of doubt. "The wretch!" exclaimed Mary Ann. "I'll pay him out for this! I'll never speak to him again never!" "Couldn't we punish him In some other way?" suggested Susan. "He do. serves something to show that we are not to be trilled with. I'd like to stick hot needles into hlin!" "Let me see," said Mary Ann, re flectively. "I shouldn't wonder if he should drop in to see me after the roundsman I'"' ,.. rseu. ,We might get even wilh 11 1 111 then." For fully half an hour the two girls remained in deep consultation, matur ing plans for the humiliation of the fickle policeman, and when at length the conference broke up It was with a smile that boded hlin no good. Shortly after 10 o'clock n slackness about the region of his waist belt, com bincd with the feeling of security en gendered by the fact that the rounds man's visit was a thing ot the past, turned Policeman Wntkins' thoughts in the direction of the hospitable kitch en nt No. 144 I Madison avenue, nnd on the first opportunity he directed his steps toward that haven. Pausing for a moment at the head of the steps leading to the basement, he glanced cautiously round. The coast was clear, and with a celerity begotten of much practice, he darted down ami tapped stealthily at the door. The door was opened by Mary Ann, who surveyed him with a look of af fected surprise. "What in all the world do you want hero?" she exclaimed. "There are no thieves here that I know of." 'Isn't there? Faith, there's the charmingest little thief In the world not two yards from me a thief who has stolen my heart away entirely, and It's my duty, as a member of the force, to place her under arrest immediately." And the policeman made a playful at tempt to put his arm round the girl's waist. Skillfully eluding the attempted em brace, Mary Ann retreated to the kitch en, and the officer followed, pondering on the vagaries of the sex. 'What's the matter?" ho exclaimed, as an attempt to Imprint a salute on the iiTs lips met with another repulse. "Nothing," replied Mary Ann, briefly. "What should be the matter?" "You seem to have your dander up about something. It's very hard on a fellow when ho comes to see the girl he loves, and especially when he is cold, nnd tired and and hungry." At this point the officer cast n quick glauce of survey round the kitchen. "It's very hard to be treated as if, for all she cared, he might be at the North Pole! Why, do you treat me so, Mary Ann? I love you well enough to to eat you." 'Ah, if I could only believe you," said the girl, doubtfully. "You men a:e such deceivers. For all I know. you may 0 straight away from here and say the san,e thing to some other girl." "Never!" exclaimed the amorous po liceman, stoutly. Mary Ann shook ber bead, and ut tered a dubious little sigh. 'I was at a clalr clair what do you call it? clairvoyant's, two days ago. and be told me such awful things. He looked in a crystal, and then said-1 must beware, for my lover was false. He said a rival bad crossed my path a fair lady, with blue eyes!"

Standing in the open doorway was a figure robed in while, with outstretched hand pointed menacingly toward him.

V extraordinary case, In 9 )( which elrciiinstanlliil evl O J O denct that was afterward g f proved to have been ma mi- OW factored, led to a father's conviction for Ihe supposed murder of his daughter. Is described In the records of llllirallar. 'Phe story Is one lluit would nITord a plot for a novelist, yet It Is vouched for by olllclal records. There lived In (ilbnillnr an KngMsli incrrliant 111 Ml .lames Maxwell, who had married a Spanish woman nnd reared a daughter iianieil Kle.la, re markable for Ijor bennly. In 1.SI1, when the girl was seventeen, she re turned Ihe arfeclloii of one of many suitors, a young man named William Katt. Haxwoll refused lo allow his daugh ter to marry Kail, as their religious beliefs were not the same. Tin girl (blew herself nt her father's feet In suppllontli 11, but to mi avail, lie was deaf alike to her enln nlles and those of the young 11 111 it. Hut the girl hnd luheiileil a high spirit from her mother, and vowed she would marry the mail of her choice. This roliscd her father to Intense an ger, and 11 violent scene followed, dur ing which he declared he would strike her dead before he would glvt his consent to her niairlagc. The threat was heard by Katt. The merchant's bouse stood at the base of the rock, nnd near it was one of the many natural raves of (ilbraltar, which lie used for a storage place in his business. Two days after the scene with her father Klezln disappeared. Passers heard wails ami groans In the cave, which died away as they listened. They reported what they heard. In a few days Maxwell was nskml to explain the absence of his daughter. lie said he could not. She had gone away, and Unit was all he knew about It. He was nri-catcd on a charge of hav ing murdered tin girl. The rnve Avns searched, and a piece of her dress and a lock of her hair, matted with blood, were found. Maxwell protested his Innocence, but was brought to trial and was found guilty. On being sentenced he was overcome, and remained In a state of collapse until the day set for the exe cution. On going to the scaffold, he cried, "Before 'my Maker, I am guilt less of niy child's death!" In the crowd nt the foot of the scaffold was Katt, who had been nil liiiKirliint witness nt Ihe trial. ('niching sight of him. Maxwell ex tended his hand, saying: 'My friend. In one minute I shall be In eternity. I wish to be at peace with all men. (live me your hand P pardon you freely for the Injury you have done me." Katt became pale on bearing these Words. Maxwell mounted the steps slowly, nnd the blm k bonnet was put 011 him and the lope adjusted. According to custom the hangman then railed In a loud voire: ".Tusllre Is going! .Iiistlre Is done!" nnd lire- pared to perforin the final act. At that moment William Knit cried In a broken voice: "It Is I who am giillly-I alone!" lie then declared that he had carried off the girl and iiiarrleil her, and that she was now concealed near filbrallar. To revenge himself for the scorn of iier father he had planned to throw suspicion of foul play on Maxwell, lie hnd cutoff n lock of Klezla's hair while she slept nnd had dabbled it In the blood of a sheep, had purloined n piece of her dress and hidden them In the cave, while lie himself made the cries at a time when he knew they would be overheard. Iteniorse aroused by the forgiveness of the merchant hnd led him to confess. Before Knit's story was nil told the executioner turned to Maxwell to re move from his head the Insignia of death. He found the old man had sunk down in collapse to n sitting posture. The black bonnet was drawn off and Maxwell was found to be dead! I Katt was seized nnd Imprisoned. The unhnppy girl wife retired to a convent. An nnalysis of the blood on the lock ot hair found in the rave would at this day have weakened the case against the father, AFRICAN PYGMIES. Preont investigations of the reslnn about the head waters ot the Congo have excited new Interest in the mys terious small folk who Inhabit the for ests of that land. Tiny denizens of the deep, still woods, sparing of speech and having either no form of religious wor ship, or a very crude one, they are of a very low order or intelligence, lint they know how to make fire, to poison their little murderous darts, and they have a language, although it Is simple. and contains but few words. Although averaging only about - four feet In height, they are nevertheless not to be despised as foemen. They nre strange, uncanny-looking creatures, of lighter color than the average negro, and having hair which rolls in tightly curled spiral locks. This gives it the appearance of grawing in tufts. The pygniy race was known to the ancients. Aristotle, Herodotus nnd Homer write of the dwarfs, and prob ably many of the legends of gnomes and fairy folk grew out 'of the misty knowledge of these small tribes. "A klnde of little people which are no bigger than Boyes of twelve yenres olde, but verlc thleke, and live only upon fleshe which they kill in the woods with Bowes nnd Dartes," wrote seventeenth century author. The pygmies have little or 110 idea of a supremo being. One tribe has been found who In times of danger prayed to "Yer." one traveler record! such a supplication. "Y'er, If thou dost really exist, why dost thou let us be slain? We ask thee not for food, for we live on nuts and mice. If thou hast inailo us, why dost limit let us be trodden down?" A stranger Is fair giniie lo a pygmy, a leglllmulo murk for his Utile ibndly arrows. He sometimes entraps the un wary. Having tied a cord to his ankle, the pygmy conceals himself In the bush. The oilier end of the string Is lied to n bough of a Iree which slrelches across the forest pnlli. When some one comes that way the pygmy agllales Ihe I gh by jerking his tinkle. Every sound or motion of the forest Is of moment, 11111I Ihe newcomer stnnds still to look 11 ml listen. Then the pygmy shoots hliu in the buck.

Two fishermen on the schooner Ida Pilva, after they hnd made fast at T wharf, Boston, told the longshoremen n story -which so much savored of whaling fiction that it was not believed until the raconteurs exhibited a billflsh weighing 1400 pounds nnd measuring nineteen feet and seven inches. The dory of the Ida Silva was lying at the southern end of the fJeorgcs, when one of the two fishermen In it felt a terrific tug on his line. He start ed to pull nnd eventually drew the catch near enough to see whnt it was. lie played with it until his compan ion procured a harpoon. After several unsuccessful throws the harpoon struck and the fish darted away. Tho original line snapped, but thi fisher man who had the harpoon held on to his line. The fish shot seaward at a terrific speed, dragging the dory. The fisher men tied the lino to a seat of the dory nnd waited, in tin hope thot the fish would tire out. For two hours, they declare, they were every moment on the point of severing the harpoon line, In such danger was the dory of swamp ing. When the fish eventually tired out and floated near enough to the surface to be killed by an oar the fishermen were in such a state of nervous exhaus tion that they bad practically to be lifted aboard the Silva. They think the dory traveled nine miles. Thirteen carloads of black walnut logs were shipped from Stroud, Okla, to Germany. WILL THE PANAMA CANAL EVER PAY?

The gross revenue of the Suez water way is now, It seems, more than twenty jut rent, on the rapllall.atlou, and Hie net i-aruliigs are about eleven per cent. To the question whether European shipowners will use the Piinuina Canal, .Mr. Penlleld replies that their action will be governed exclusively by self Interest, computed from Hie viewpoint of pecuniary economy. ThT- opinion Is expressed Hint where the cost of transporting cargoes would be prai Ilea lly alie same, whichever of the two canal routes might be chosen, Euro pean shipmasters will always favor the Suez waterway. A consldenble fraction of the oveiin-cariylng trade controlled by Mrltlsh bottoms Is now and always will be, geographically Independent of liiteroceanle canals.
