BEAUTY'S METEMPSYCHOBI3.
That beauty such as tbino
Can die indeed
VVere ordinance too wantonly malign!
No wit may reconcile so cold a creed
With beauty such as thine.
From wave and star and flower
Some effluence rare
Was lent thee, a divine but transient dower;
Thou wieldst it back from eyes and lips and
hair
To wave and star and flower.
Shouldst thou tomorrow die.
Thou still sbalt be
Found in the rose and met in all the sky.
And from the ocean's heart shalt sing to me,
Shouldst thou tomorrow dio.
—William Watson.
MAT'S HUSBAND.
She doubtless had a woman's reason
for marrying him. That kind of reason
may not satisfy other people, but it is in
variably sufficient for the feminine rea
#;oner.
Sam Toms was what is called "wutfi
less" by his Texan neighbors. Old Bill
Bunn, his father-in-law, himself not a
very energetic or useful citizen, used to
sit on the steps at the crossroads store
and publicly bewail his sad lot in having
Bam for a member of his family. Bill
had a dramatic style of delivery that
was very fetching, and invariably im
pressed strangers as being very much in
earnest.
He would sit 011 the steps, silently
chewing an enormous mouthful of to
bacco and apparently listening to the
conversation of his coloafers. If Sam's
name was mentioned he would give vent
to four or five little falsetto squeaks,
which found egress through his nose;
then he would draw in a long breath,
puff out his fat cheeks, purse his mouth,
and give a heavy, whistling sigh; this
would be followed by a large quantity
of tobacco juice, carefully aimed at
some object in the vicinity. These pre
liminaries accomplished, Bill would rise
to his feet, thrust one fat, dirty hand
into his shirt front, wave the other in a
sweeping gesture as he lowered his eyes
and rolled his head sadly from side to
side, and deliver himself profoundly aft
er the following fashion:
"Ah—hum! That Sam Toms is th'
laziest, mos' sliif'less, o'nery, triflin cuss
I ever seed—an yere I've done got 'im
f'r ason-'n-lawr. Hin-hm-hm!" Another
whistling sigh would close this perora
tion, and old Bill would resume his seat,
still shaking his head sorrowfully.
And Bill was more than half right.
Nominally Sara was a cowboy, but
most of the time he would tell you he
was "jes' layin off a spell, t' rest up like."
He had alwaj's been just so—distin
guished for laziness in an easy going
community—and nobody expected him
ever to be otherwise, and it puzzled peo
ple immensely when energetic, capable
Mattie Bunn accepted him for "reg'lar
comp'ny," to say nothing of the sensa
tion created by their wedding.
Mat, as has been suggested, probably
had some reason for marrying Sam, but
it is quite certain that she never told
any one what that reason was. Sam
was tall and big, and handsome in his
careless, slouchy way; he had always
managed, no one knew how, to wear
good clothes too. These facts and his
perennial good nature and friendly
ways were the only points in his favor.
Against him were the points so forcibly
taken by his father-in-law, and also that
he got drunk whenever he could possi
bly do so, and was morally so weak that
any one could easily lead him astray.
How Mat and Sam got along 110 one
but Mat knew. Once in a great while
Sam would do some work and earn a
few dollars. If he got home with it
without stopping at the saloon, well and
good. But oftener than not he would
"drap in jes' t' take a nip 'r two," and
that would settle it. At such times he
would stay and buy drinks for every
body present while his money lasted.
Then he would coniehome in a maudlin,
tearful st-te of intoxication, and invent
some tale to account for his condition
and the disappearance of his money,
winding up with the promise never to
let it happen again.
And Mat would pretend that she be
lieved him, and would stroke bis curly
head until he fell asleep. Then she
would look at the handsome scamp for
a few minutes with love unutterable in
her eyes—the tired eyes back of which
were a world of unshed tears. But she
never complained—not the first word;
the firm set mouth and weary look
might indicate ever so much, but her
lips never expressed it. And Sam grad
ually grew more and more useless and
shiftless, trusting to his wife's ready wit
and fertility of resource to carry them
both over the bad places.
There were lots of bad places too.
Twice Sam ran into debt several dollars
at the saloon ami Mat found some means
to pay the debts—only herself knew
how. But the second time she informed
the saloon man that he must trust Sum
no more. And, besides these things, to
live—how did they do it? Nobody could
guess. Perhaps even Mat herself could
not have told, yet live they did—or rather
existed—and for the most part kept out
of debt.
Sam sometimes worked, but never for
very long. He always found some ex
cuse for leaving a place within a few
days. Ho could almost always find an
other job easily enough, for he was an
excellent "hand" when he chose to be,
hut he did not hasten about finding a
new job when he had given one up;
until they were reduced to the very last
si raits could Mat get him to hunting
work again.
One day Sam left home for a ranch
about thirty-five miles distant, where he
had heard they wanted help. Two days
passed—three —four—five—and no word
came from him. Mat was not a little
worried, although Sam had often been
away for two weeks at a time without
sending word to her. But this time it
was different; there was 110 excuse for
his not sending a message, as the stage
came by the ranch he had gone to three
times a week. If he had found work
there, as he expected, he could easily
have notified her. So, late in the after
noon of the fifth day, she threw her
shawl over her head and went down tc
I" her father's to find if they had heard
i anything of Saui.
The old fellow was standing in th*
doorway talking to a couple of strangers.
"No," he Was saying, "they hain't
be'n no person 'long yer las' few days
| but what b'longs yere. Mebbe, though.
I ho uiout 'a' be'n seed over yere t' Bacon's.;
; Ben thar? No? Waal, my boy's comin !
in f'm thar purty soon, an he c'n tell ye. \
Come in an feed; Jack'll be yere right j
soon."
Mat staid to help her mother with
| the supper, and during the course of the j
I meal learned that the two strangers |
| were officers trailing a horse thief, who
j had stolen a valuable horse at a ranch ;
; forty miles east and sold it at Pickett j
I station, and who was believed to have
come this way.
I As she listened to the conversation a
' sudden nameless fear came upon her,
I making her feel ill and faint. As soon
| as supper was over she took her shawl
! and hurried home.
| Somehow she was not surprised to find
; the door open. She entered hastily.
I Sam was in bed, asleep aud breathing
! stertorously. He had evidently been
j drinking, as his clothes were scattered
I about the floor, and Mat, looking out
| the back door, could see his pony stand
ing patiently where Sam had left him,
waiting for some one to come and feed
him.
Mat leaned over the sleeping man and
kissed him gently, her eyes full of love.
Then she turned to pick up his clothes
and put them away. The trousers were
heavy, and something jingled in one of
the pockets. Instinctively Mat thrust
her hand into it and drew it forth, clasp
ing several gold pieces. As she did so
her eyes opened wide, and she stood as
if stunned for a time, her heart chilled
with the same strange fear that had
stricken her awhile ago and impelled her
to hurry home.
She rushed to the bed and shook Sam
roughly. "Sam! Sam! wake up!" she
almost screamed.
The man turned over and looked at
her stupidly. "H'lo, M-Mat! Yore, be
ye? Gimme kiss," he said in a dull tone.
"Not twell ye tells me wliar ye done
got these yere things!" Mat's voice
sounded broken and shrill.
Sam sat up and rubbed his head, look
ing at her in drunken wonder. "W-w-y,
them—them thar, honey?"
She shook him fiercely and said in a
lower tone—a tone of earnest force:
"Tell ine, Sam Toms, whar ye done
got these yere coins! Quick now!"
Her tone partially sobered the man,
whose eyes opened wider as he asked
querulously:
"What 'n hell ye so all fired fussy
'bout? I hain't done nothin," and he
laughed in a half drunken, half nervous
way.
"Sam, whar did ye git 'em?"
He sat dumbly staring at her.
"Sam"—her voice was full of horror—
"did you steal that thar lioss?"
No answer; but Mat saw by his eyes
she had guessed the truth. Slowly the
coins fell from her hand to the floor:
slowly her head bent forward until her
face touched the pillow. For minutes
she did not move —not until Sam, who
had been staring at her wonderingly,
reached out his big hand and laid it
caressingly on her bead. Then she sprang
to her feet, her hot eyes glaring and her
form trembling with anger and horror.
She did not speak, but fixed her gaze on
his face for a few seconds. He did not
meet her look, and presently she turned
and ran out of the door.
Sam, almost sober now, called after
her, but she did not answer. He got out
of bed slowly and started to dress him
self. Ho had almost finished when Mat,
accompanied by her father and the two
strangers, returned.
"Thar he is—an thar's th' money," she
said, and passed on out through the back
door without looking at Sam.
There was a jail at the crossroads; it
was a primitive affair, but solid and sub
stantial. It was a dugout in the side hill,
and had a heavy oak door and great steel
hinges and lock. It was plenty strong
enough to hold a dozen men, all anxious
to escape—and Sam Toms did not try to
escape. He only sat still in the low,
"dump, darksome room and tried to un
derstand how it all happened.
It must be a drunken dream—but, 110,
he was almost sober, and knew where
he was and how and why he was there.
But—he could not understand. Had
Mat—was it really Mat who had given
him up? There must be some mistake.
The big, strong man finally began to
realize it all. He lay down 011 the bunk
and cried himself to sleep like a child.
It must have been about 1 o'clock
in the morning when some one silently
entered the house of old Bill Bunn, con
stable. This some one entered by the
back door, went stealthily into the room
where Bill and bis wife slept, rummaged
about a few minutes, and then emerged
from the house. It was a woman, and
1 she had something in her hand,
j Sam Toms was awakened a little af
ter this by a rattling, jarring sound.
He sprang up just as the big oaken
doors swung back and revealed the fig
ures of a woman and two saddle horses.
"1 come f r ye, Sain," said the woman
with a sob. "I done bring both ponies J
,an mi' clo'es. Lo's go, Sam; we c'n git [
'crost th' rivah bofo' uawnin. Come!" i
He clasped her in his arms, and they I
I clung to each other a little while. Then '
Mat said, more sti oilily:
"Come, Sam. Le's go ovali t' Mexico ]
—an mebbe we c'n try an do better ovali
thar."
And they rode forth in the bright, free !
( moonlight down toward the Kio Grande I
! —into a new and better life.—K. L. !

great excitement. Before the excitement
had died out he was appointed an associate

Judge Earl, who succeeded to the chief
judgeship. The New York City Bar asso

investigation was ordered by the legisla

clared that Judge May nard was upright,
honorable and conscientious. The minority
report' demanded his removal from the

SHOT HER SWEETHEART.
Nora Bott Kills Mr Lover and Then
Commit* Suicide.
MORRLSTOWN, N. J., Jan. 4.—At White
hall, a quiet hamlet on the eastern slope of
the Blue Ridge mountains, in Morris
county, Nora Bott, a young woman of
twenty-six, shot her lover, Edward Smith,
through the brain and then killed herself J
with a second bullet. For more than a
year they had been keeping company,
though it is stated that they were not en
gaged to lie married. .Smith had not quite
reached his majority. He was employed
in the maintenance of way department of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad and boarded with his brother
A bra in.
So far 110 motive for the double tragedy
has been discovered. Nora Bott was ap
parently of sound mind and happy disposi
tion. Nothing but good feeling seemed to
exist between her and Smith, and their
relatives assert that there had been noth
ing wrong in their relations.
There is a surmise that Nora might have
become jealous, us Smith was seen walking
with a Miss Small. It was also stated that
Miss Bott was in love with young Smith to
a greater extent than lie was with her.

Explosion.
LONG ISLAND CITY, X Y.. Dec. 29.
Christmas greens covered with blood, a
score of homes w imlmvless, roofless and
desolate, five people killed and twenty
wounded sum up a small portion of the
awful havoc wrought here by the explosion
of 100 pounds of dynamite in the center of
one of the most thickly populated blocks.
The explosion was due to the criminal
carelessness of some one. It took place in
the very center or the triangular block
bounded by Jackson avenue, Fourth street
ami Vernon avenue. All the buildings
were occupied as flats and tenements, into
which were crowded about 550 people.
It is in the middle of this block that the
Long Island and New York Railroad com
pany have located the mouth of their pro
jected tunnel, which is to run under the
Kast river to New York. A force of sixty
men is employed on the work of excava
