THE CLAGETT LAWSUIT.
A Famous Case That Endsd in a
Romance.
E tide had just
turned at Bars
tow Cliff, and
wet and glim
mering, under|
the level ra3*s of
the afternoon's
sun,with ridges
of seaweed,peb
bles and little
gray shells
heaped up here
and there. Old
Mrs. Barstow,
knitting in
hand, sat in a
\/ wooden chair,
under the shadow of the hop vines;
and the city boarder, with her lap full
of shells, was slowly sorting them over
between her thin fingers.
Mrs. Barstrtvv was brown and healthy
looking, with blue eyes sparkling be
hind her spectaclo glasses and smooth
bands of silver-streaked hair. Tho
city boarder was pale and languid,
with the blcached-out look, which one
often sees in city boarders when first
the 3' come to the seaside.
"1 wonder, now," said Mrs. Barstow,
on hospitable thoughts intent, "what
3 r ou'd like for supper, Miss Dady? A
mess o' soft clams, b'iled, or a lobster?
City folks mostly likes sea food, I've
noticed. Or, if you'd fancy a fried
chicken, Marth> f will catch 3'ou one
when she gets back from the
mail to tho lighthouse, and it won't
take no time to cook it."
"It don't matter," said Miss Dady,
whose appetite was feeble, indeed.
"Well, Marth3''ll see that we get
something nice!" said Mrs. Barstow.
"That's her boat now—p'raps you can
see it out by the Point, like a little
black speck dancin' 011 the water!"
"She must be quite a sailor," said the
city hoarder, listlessly.
"She is that!" nodded Mrs. Barstow.
"I've ahva3's said she'd ought to be a
man. She don't take no interest in
THE DANGER SIGNAL.
the housework, and she's
happy on the water. And that's one
reason I've tried ni3' best to get the
lighthouse."
Miss Dady sat there, listening
dreamil3 T to this old woman's chippcr
ing, cheerful talk. Shu herself had
been so near tho end of all things that
all else seemed of little interest to
her. Life, love, 3*outh, all had floated
away from her and left her stranded
like a wreck on the shores of time.
She looked up as Martha
Barstow's boat-keel grated 011 the
sand and that 3 r oung person walked
vigorously up the beach, with the
strong, swinging footstep which be
longs only to youth and vitality.
"Mother, what do you think?" cheer
-ll3* cried out Martha. "They've got a
boarder at the lighthouse!"
"La, me!" cried Mrs. Barstow, with
her knitting needles suspended in mid
air. "Who'd want to board at the
lighthouse! put there in the middle of
the sea, with nothin' but seafoam and
gulls to look at!"
"I'm sure I don't know," said Martha
Barstow. "But he was a-settin'
there on the iron top gallery, a-lookin'
through a spyglass, when 1 drew up
alongside of the landin' place."
"How did lie look?" said Mrs. Bar
stow, who possessed all the curiosity
in regard to detail that generally
actuates people in her walk of life.
"Tall and thin and yellow faced,"
said Martha, "Like the pictures of
Don Quixote in the big book on Squire
Seelcy's parlor table."
Miss Dady rose at this point and
went slowly into the house.
"I think I'll lie down a little while,"
said she.
Martha came out to the cool, green
shadow of the hop vines again.
"Mother," said she, "Miss Dady ain't
n-gettin' much better."
"No," said Mrs. Barstow, "I don't
think she is, poor creetur."
"Do you suppose she is ver3' poor,
mother?"
"Wal, I don't reckon she's got innch
means," said the old woman, "else
she'd ha' gone to Watch Hill or Bar
Harbor, or some o' them high-priced
places instead of comin' to a cheap
corner like this. But she's a nice,
pleasant-sooken woman, and I'm prop
er sorr3 r for her. But ain't it queer, !
though, about the lighthouse people
bavin' a boarder?"
"Miss Morton was sayin, mother,"
said Martha, as she broke off a little
green curl from the end of the hop
vine, "that he'd lost a great lawsuit
and was vei'3* poor, and that his health
had suffered. That was the reason ho
wanted sea air, and that was tho
reason, too, that he didn't care to go
where there were lots of folks."
Up at Cliff -house, where they had
."two sorts of butcher's meat every
da3 T , and ice cream of Sundays," a
grizzle-headed little was talk
ing to his friend, the legal luminary
of the village, after vcr3 r much the (
some strain.
"The longer I live," said he, "the
more I become convinced of the oddity j
of human kind. Now. there's Morti-!
mor Clagett—3*ou know about the law
suit of Clagett versus Clagett, don't
you?"
"I have heard of it, yes."
"Well, he's just gained it."
M No—has he?"
"And the strangest thing of all is,
now that he's got it he won't take it.
For twelve years he has been contest
ing the thing—and the Gleason Clag
etts have been fighting him tooth and
nail; and now that the courts have de
cided in his favor, he throws the
whole affair up and clears out."
"In the name of justice and common
sense, why?" asked Lemuel Starbuek.
"That's what I'd like to know my
self," said the New York attorney,
scratching his shock of gray hair. "1
can't account for it any way in the
world, unless—"
"Well?"
"Gleason Clagett's niece is the only
surviving representative on that side
since the old man died—his wife's
niece, rather. And Mortimer Clagett
used to be fond of Edith before this
tormenting business of the lawsuit
commenced. They haven't spoken to
each other for years, now, I believe.
Ho won't take the property, and she
has hidden herself away somewhere.
It's a come-down, 1 tell you, from six
thousand a year to nothing at all. No
woman would be apt to like it."
It was on the edge of twilight; the
tide was coming in again. Miss Dady
sat rocking idly to and fro in Martha
Barstow's boat, with the white kitten
coiled at her feet, and a book in her
lap. Every now and then the breeze
lifted one of tho light-brown locks of
hair from her forehead, and dallied
with it. as if in sport; a faint flush of
color had risen to her cheek as she
turned the pages of her book.
All of a sudden she felt a peculiar
sensation, as if she were moving; she
looked up. The boat had slipped its
moorings, and she was already some
distance out to sea. The kitten was
peering over the edge of the boat and
mewing uncomfortably. The red stain
of the sunset seemed turning all the
waves to blood, while off in the dis
tance the lighthouse rose up like a
shaft of ebony against tho ruddy sky.
She uttered a little shriek—but there
were only the sea-gulls and the plain
ing kitten to he.ir her. She looked in
stinctively for oars, but there were no
oars in the row-locks.
"I am drifting out to sea," she told
herself; anci then, with a sudden idea,
she tied the scarlet-silk handkerchief,
which encircled her neck, to the
handle of her parasol, and waved it
wildly toward the lighthouse.
Further into the red glow of tho sun
set —further out across the heaving
plain of waves rocked the little boat
with its solitary occupant and her flut
tering scrap of scarlet silk, until it
drifted nearer and nearer the light
house.
"There are rocks nnd reefs there,"
she thought. "I have often heard
Martha Barstow say how difficult it
was to tho lighthouse. If one
of those sharp, jagged ledges should
saw its way through the bottom of my
boat, then good-by to the red sunset
and the sweet salt air, and the evening
star that shines over yonder like the
point of a silver spear! But I can do
nothing—l can only wait."
Even while these disjointed reflec
tions passed through her mind, a
little boat had put off from the circu
lar stone foundations stairs of the
lighthouse, and was pulling steadily
toward her. In its bow sat a tall,
sallow-complexioned man, with n face
like tho pictured prince of "Don
Quixote."
"It isn't a little girl," he said aloud,
as he neared the drifting boat. "It is
a woman—it is Edith Dady!"
And she, looking intently at the
man, who was coming with long, even
oar-strokes to rescue her, smiled to her
self and murmured:
"It is Mortimor Clagett,"
So they met, these parted lovers, the
last representatives of the rival sides
of the famous law-suit of "Clagett vs.
Clagett."
"There is no use trying to run away
from me," Edith, he said. "Even the
elements conspire against you."
"So j'ou arc the Don Quixote of this
lonely tower," said Edith, with a smile
"THERE IS NO USE TRYING TO RUN AWAY
FROM ME."
that had somewhat of its old sparkle.
"But you will have to take your own
fortune, for I will touch no more of
it."
"On one condition," said Mortimor
Clagett, "1 will accept it all —that you
are to be mine also. Edith, I am
speaking from tho bottom of my heart.
1 mean it all."
"If saving my life counts for any
thing," said Edith, with a quiver in
her voice, "j*ou have earned all that
3*ou ask. Dear Mortimor, fate itself
has taught us that wo ought not to
continue this old feud any longer."
So thc3' sailed out of the purple sun
set glow back to the peaceful shore
once more—back to hope,back to peace,
back to infinite happiness.
"And," said Mrs. Barstow, exultant
ly, "if anyone doubts this 'ere sea air
is good for weak lungs let 'em just
look at the way Dady's picked up
since she came to Barstow's Cliff."
But Martha smiled. She was more
keen-sighted than her mother. She
knew that although sea air was a
good tonic, love was a better one stilL

TO MOUNT PHOTOGRAPHS.
A New I'lun Suggested Which Should
Prove Very Popular.
Those who have skill in painting
flowers, either in oil or water colors,
can find a chance for the exercise of
their skill in mounting a photograph,
according to the plan suggested in tho
accompanying illustration. If oil col
ors are to he used, let a piece of "ac
ademy board" be selected, upon which
a background is to be painted in bold
strokes, but little blended together.
The one from which the illustration is
taken shades from a rich brown in the
lower left hand corner to a light golden
brown in the upper right hand corner.
The morning glories, or other flowers,
if preferred, should be painted from
nature, if possible, using only the col
ors that will hormonize well together
and with the background. If water
colors are to be used, let a piece of
pulp board be cut of the right size and
a piece of water color paper wet and
stretched over it, the edges pasted at
the back. The mount is then ready for
decoration. After the background is
laid on a perfectly fiat photograph, it
self mounted, but preferably un
mounted, is to be pasted to the acadeinj

E. A. Williams, a New York watch
maker, recently accomplished a re
markable mechanical feat—that of
drilling a hole through tho entire
length of a common pin, from head to
point, the opening being just large
enough to admit of the passage of a

who two years ago cut a sewing needle
in two lengthwise and then drilled
holes and fastened it together so nicely
that the split could not be seen with

To Test the Heat of tho Oven.
The French method of testing tho
heat of an oven is a very simple one.
It is done with a pieco of white paper.
If the oven is too hot the paper will
blacken or blaze up; if it becomes a
light brown the oven is right for pastry;
if it turns a dark yellow tho tempera
ture is proper for baking bread and
the heavier kinds of cake; if light yel
low it is just fit for sponge cakes and
the lighter desserts.

How Caslmir-Porler Was Persuaded to Ac

M. Casimir-Fericr, the new president
of the French republic, whose portrait
we give, had shown himself, in his pub
lic career, very little covetous of official
honors. More than once he had sought
to avoid public employment; but his
character, his ability, his discretion
and the moderation of his opinions
marked him out for the succession to
M. C'arnot in the emergency in which
the late president's assassination left
the republic.

and were, to forward their chances,
making personal attacks upon M. Cas

In this case they did what perhaps

They went to Casimir-Perier's mother,

her to interecdo with her son to change

She listened patiently to their argu

Then she turned to him and said:
"History is in my mind, and inspired
by ray affection for you, I declare that

THE POPE'S HEALTH.
lfin Physician Corrects Alarming Report*
Recently Published.
The numerous reports regarding the
ill-health of the pope which have been
in circulation recently have induced
I)r. Lapponi to make the following
statements regarding the condition of
his holiness:
"The health of Leo XIII.," says the
doctor, "is excellent. Contrary to re
ports, his nourishment remains the
same as formerly, and his appetite
never fails him. At eight o'clock in
the morning he takes a cap of choco
late and a bit of bread. At two o'clock
p. in. his luncheon is served. It consists
of soup, one or two courses of meat,
fruit, and a glass of Bordeaux. In the
evening at nine o'clock Leo XIII. again
eats soup, meat, fruit and wine. His
stomach acts with marvelous regular
ity. Ilia sleep is long and quiet. He
cannot be said to be losing his powers.
The pope has as great powers of resist
ance as he ever had. During the great
lieat of the summer he has. of course,
been affected somewhat.
"To give an idea of the strength pre
served by this old man of eighty-four
; i ■ i, .
years, let me say that Leo XIII. takes
pleasure in going in search of great
books in the librarj', some of them
weighing as much as ten pounds, and
carrying them to his working desk. To
those who say that the pope cannot
hold himself erect and is obliged to
allow himself to bo carried in a litter,
we can simply reply that, like all his
predecessors, Leo XIII. allows himself
to be carried in a litter when he goes j
to the garden. He gets into the litter I
in His office. But that is simple a rule
of etiquette. Every day, after once
reaching tho garden, ho walks for
hours at a time, supported by his cane.
He walks more easily than a number of
persons <>f his suite. In short, Leo
XIII. walks, or at least stands up, for
four or five hours a day. Only recently
he confirmed thirty persons without
feeling the least fatigue."
Educated la France.
The king of Dahomey was educated
in France and speaks French fluently.
He became a barbarian because ho was
disappointed in a love affair.

BABIES BY HUNDREDS.
Visit to the Sloane Maternity Hos
pital at New York.
More Babies Arc Horn There Every Day
Than In Any Other Npot in the
World—The Noblest Charity
In America.
Of all the numberless charities and
institutions for the care of the unfor
tunate in the United States, the big 1
Sloane Maternity hospital in New
York holds a position at once unique
and exclusively its own. More babies
see the first light of day here than are
born in the average sized town in the
same length of time year by year. Yet
so quietly is the institution managed
that its very existence is shrouded in
something of mystery. It owes its es
tablishment to the generosity of Mrs.
Sloane, sister of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
and is supported and maintained by her.
A visit to this magnificent charity is
an experience never to be forgotten.
It is one of the few places in the world
where cribs holding from fourteen to
sixteen mites of humanity, ranging
from a few hours to ten days in age,
can be seen, and certainly about the
only one where so many babies are to
be seen asleep at tho same moment. A
correspondent of the Kansas City Star
saw one crib in which there were nine
little strangers, their faces all turned
in the same direction, sleeping soundly
with nine pair of little fists tightly
clinched after the manner of infants.
These Sloane hospital babies are
lucky so far as scientific attention to
their needs is concerned. From the
moment of their birth, in the white,
clean room, where the greatest mys
tery in nature is revealed, they a.*e
watched and cared for with a scientific
regard and precision that is marvelous.
While the white-faced mother lies on
her cot, with an anyious surgeon and
gentle-faced nurse on either side to
give her every attention, another nurse
has taken the babe, and on a pair of
scnles has noted its weight; with a sim
ple little appliance has marked its
height, or length, rather, and with a
tape has taken the measurement of
his chest, hie head and other dimen
sions.
The baby's life, from that time until
he leaves the hospital, is as methodical
NINE IN A CRIB.
as can be imagined. He is taken to the
nursery, where he is dressed in
clothing provided for him, and, that
his identity may not become lost, the
name of the mother is sewn on the
sleeve of his dress, so that it is an easy
matter to avoid the predicament of
buttercup, who "mixed those babies
up'' with such disastrous results.
The infants are not allowed to re
main with tho mothers in the wards,
but every two hours is mealtime in tho
nursery, and tho midgets are then car
ried out and placed in the hands of their
"mammas," as the nurses say, for nour
ishment. They are always returned
punctually, and tucked away in their
little cribs, where they fall into a dose.
Such a thing as a crying baby at the
hospital is a rarity. One of the most
wonderful features of the institution
is the submission to discipline on the
part of the little strangers. Promptly
at the expiration of two hours, how
ever, tne visitor, if he watches, may
see a long row of baby eyes open al
most simultaneously. It is lunch time
again, and they are tho first to know
it. "I can never understand," said the
head nurse, "how those little fellows
count tho hours, but they seem to
know how to do it."
"And just think," added the lady vis
itor, who was deep in the mysteries of
infant management by this time,
"those babies are tucked away at
eleven o'clock every night, and until
five o'clock in the morning are not al
lowed to disturb their mothers." She
seemed to regard it as marvelous, and
probably other mothers will agree with
her. The babies, however, if they grow
restless through hunger during the
night, are fed some preparation of in
fant food by the ever-watchful nurses.
The hospital is fulfilling a mission of
inercy the extent of which can never be
realized. It admits married women
preferably, but those who need its care
are never turned away.
As soon as the expectant, mother is
admitted, which is • sometimes a num
ber of days before her little one comes,
she is explicitly instructed how to act,
dress and conduct herself generally,
and is looked after as carefully as the
trained skill of tho physicians and
nurses render possible.
"Ilnwlongdo the patients remain?"
repeated tho nurse, in answer to a
question. "Well, from twelve to four
teen days after the birth of their
babies. That does not seem long, but
you must remember that these women
have the best treatment in tho world,
and, as they are usually strong and
healthy, they are well able to be around
in that length of time. We hate to seo
the babies go. and I am afraid the little
things do not have the attention after
ward that we give them here. The
poor, poor babies," continued the kind
hearted nurse, "little wrecks on tho
sand of life, may God pity them. Their
mothers arc too often victims of per
fidy and their own trustfulness and
love. My heart aches for them. It is
not for us to judge their lives, which
must be hard enough after they face
the world again, at the beet,"
