    A GEY AULD WIFE. fljgg
A Utile old woman with Foundless shoon f
And a heart as hard aa tlint;
In the light of the sun and the glint of the rnoon
Her locks are us white as lint.
She mocketh youth, and she floutcth love.
For a gey auld wife is she.
And the sands beneath and the stars above
Were new in her memory.
She touchcth the rose, and it falls apart;
The stone, and it crumbles away,
bat never a tear to her eye Bhall start
This spirit of yesterday.
For this little old woman the sphinx beheld
When the dawn of the world was bright-
Tins little old woman who came from eld
Ere the Lord made day and night.
She oreepeth about in her soundlesi shoon,
She singeth a dreary rhyme,
And the nations drowse to her eerie rune,
For the gey auld wife is Time.

X How a Husband and Wife Forgave A
Ono Another For Mutual
♦ Indiscretion. ♦
+ ■ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
"It simply won't do," observed Mr.
Portland-Rhodes, with emphasis.
"May 1 ask what you are talking
about?"
"I am talking about your extrava
gance," said her husband. "If it eoutiu
ues, you will simply burst up the show,"
he added, relapsing into slnng.
"I'm afraid your theatrical friends are
demoralizing your English."
"The English language has nothing to
do with the conversation," he snapped.
"Not with your conversation, dear,"
said his wife sweetly.
"And I'm tired of these dark allusions
to my theatrical friends. It's absurd to
imagine that because I take a girl to
supper that—that there's anythiug in it.
She was an old friend."
"I should hardly call her old," said
Mrs. Portland-Rhodes critically. "Sup
pose we say middle aged?"
"Anyway, we are drifting from the
point."
"What is the point of this dialogue?"
inquired his wife, with extreme affabili
ty.
"Your extravagance. I cannot stand
the pace. What's to be done with these
things?" indicating a little pile of bills.
"I'm afraid I have no head for busi
ness," said his wile, looking tired.
"But how are we going to meet them?"
Mrs. Rhodes sniffed her smelling bot
tle with an air of extreme patience.
"Why not write out a cheek?" she
murmured.
"Write out a check?" he gasped.
"What the"—
"If you wish the servants to know all
our private affairs, I'll ring the bell,"
said his wife. "But don't shout, dear,
because it makes my head ache."
There was only one reply for an in
dependent husband. Mr. Portland-
Rhodes gathered up the pile of bills,
housekeeping and otherwise, placed them
by his wife's plate and stalked to the
door.
"You've made a very poor breakfast,
Charles," said his wife sympathetically.
"And you'll make me u very poor
man,'" he muttered.
"I'm sorry, dear. I forgot how many
calls you have upon your private purse."
This was the last straw. The hus
band banged out of the room, muttering
expressions which would not be permit
ted even at a religious demonstration.
It was u pretty piece of acting ou her
pnrt—the airiness, the nonchalance, the
magnificent contempt for debt. It was
all put on. She was in a complicated
frame of mind. She was jealous of her
husband on account of an innocent
"spree" of his, which green glasses had
made hideous. She was uncomfortably
conscious that she was on the high road
to making a tool of herself. She was up
to her pretty little ears in debt, and,
above all, she was In a funk about it.
In short, Mrs. Portland-Rhodes had
cast herself for an unsuitable role. At
the bottom of her heart she was a ro
mantic little creature, ridiculously in love
with her husband, with philanthropic
tendencies and a reasonable weakness
for "dressing decently."
There is no more pitiable sight than
that of n scrupulous person trying to be
unscrupulous. She hated to owe money,
but to keep level with the times she rau
headlong into debt and suffered agonies.
►She adored her husband und quarreled
with him. She despised married flirts
and was carrying on three open flirta
tious, to soy nothing of a mysterious one,
at tho mere thought of which she trem
bled. In short, she was a poor, worried
little woman who was wulking in slip
pery places and expecting to come a
cropper every minute.
A week before she had attended a
fancy dress masked ball given at the
Ambidextrous. Mrs. Rhodes was robed
as the Morning Star and puired off
with the man in the moon. She believed
her partner to be a certain Percy Lad
broke, whom she counted among her ad
mirers. They became quietly confiden
tial, and Mrs. Rhodes rather let the cat
out of the bag with regard to her finan
cial scrapes. The man in the moon was
sympathetic. lie had had a "straight
tip." Should be put a bit on for her? Mrs.
Rhodes hesitated for a variety of rea
sons, one being that she had no spare
cash to lose, aud was already out of her
dei^h.
"I'll tell you what I shall do," said the
man in the moon. "I shall have a flutter
myself, and I'll buy a few shares for you
too. If it turns out badly, I'll get it back
for you some other time. But it's too
good to miss. You must be in it."
This arrangement sounded very com
fortnble and Mrs. Rhodes assented.
Her first shock was received next day
when she learned that the man In the
moon was not by any means Percy Lad
broke, us that young gentleman was
away in the country. The next shock
was a polite letter of congratulation from
the man in the moon, inclosing a note for
SI,OOO. The dabble in Angelicos had suc
ceeded beyond her expectations.
It was a curious position for a married
woman. What was she to do? A man
Bhe did not know, for he had not even
eigned his name, probably thinking she
already knew it, had sent her a
Bum of money. He might be mad, but
who would believe the story? Would
any sane person, especially a mere hus
band, believe that a stranger would
hand her a share of a speculation in
which she had not staked a farthing?
On the other hand, she gave a sigh
of relief when she recollected that, not
knowing who he was, she could not re
turn it. That fact, combined with the pile
pf bills and hrr Ausbaud's irritation on
financial subjects, decided her, and she
cashed the note, and utilized It to stop
the mouths of her hungriest creditors.
Hut it seemed as if she was doomed to
face the unexpected. It happened that
night that, for a wonder, she and her
husband dined tete-a-tete. lie was gloomy
and silent; she as airy and tlippunt us
usual.
"1 have had a lucky speculation in
Angelicos," he said quietly when the
servants had left the room.
"You don't look as if you had," she
said, cracking a nut.
"And 1 hoped to give you a pleasant
surprise," he added, "so I drove around
to some of your people this attention to
pay your bills."
She went white and nearly pinched a
finger instead of a nut.
"I was rather surprised to learn that
you yourself had been around this morn
ing and paid them account."
There was an uncomfortable silence
while his wife restrained a desire to use
unladylike language on of
Angelicos and pleasant surprises gen
erally.
"That was very kind of you," she said
at last.
"May I ask where the money came
from?" he asked.
"I never knew anybody to talk so
much about money us you do," she said
evasively. "Suppose you try another
subject?"
"You have been telling me for several
days that you are hard up," he continued
in the same dry voice. "I should really
like to know how you contrived to pay
awuy the best part of u couple of hun
dred in cash when you are without
funds."
"I had a little flutter in Angelicos.
too," she said easily.
"Who put you on to it?" he asked
6harply. "There were not a dozen men
in town who knew anything about it."
"I —l met somebody at a dunce, and
and somehow it leaked out that 1 was
rather hard up, and—and he said he'd
put something on for trie," she replied.
"Of course 1 didn't know he meant it,
but I heard from him this morning."
Her husband whistled softly.
*'This is a funny sort of story. Violet,
for a woman to tell her husband," he
said gravely, but not unkindly. "Who
was the man?"
There was something in the tone of his
voice which told her that further evasion
would be worse than useless, so defiantly
she told the whole story.
"May I see the letter which accompa
nied the note?" said her husband.
She produced it. It was written on
club note paper.
"I shall have no great difficulty in find
ing out who this is," he said. "I shall
send a check. I don't want you to take
anybody's money except mine."
"Is that all?" she said coldly. "Have
you anything else to suy?"
"It's not much good for me to say
anything."
"I thought you might like to preach
one of your lay sermons," she said.
"Not at all," he answered, with a pro
voking smile. "I'm not like somebody
I know. I'm not going to make a moun
tain out of a molehill. But, really, a
masked ball at the Ambidextrous and a
check from a stranger is almost as
naughty as my taking an actress to sup
per. We seem to be both going to the
bad."
This was humiliating. Mrs. Rhodes
expected a lecture and was only being
chaffed. Moreover, the chaff was kind
ly, and she found it rather a struggle to
keep the tears back. But when he sat
down to his desk and wrote out a check
and said, "There, now, will help you
out of your pickle?" she broke down
altogether and wept like an ordinary wo
man.
"Shall we cry quits?" he said. "You
forget the supper, and 1 forget the man
in the moon.
"Suppose we say a little goose?" he
corrected.
After sfte had left the room he looked
at himself iu the glass and nodded at his
own reflection.
"It's all right now," he muttered, "but
she must never find out who the man
in the moon really was."
And the reflection in the glass winked.
—Modem Society.
He Lost the Credit.
Justice Garoutte related an amusing
incident which occurred to him while
crossing the Atlantic. "The band played
every night in the second cabin," he says,
"and oue evening I invited my family
and a few friends to visit the second cab
in and listen to the music. After a few
pieces had beeu pluyed I called u kelluer
to me and told him to give the band a
glass of beer at my expense. I paid liim
the charges, the beer was brought to the
hand, they stood up, rattled their glasses,
seemed greatly weighted, and said 'good
luck' to a big red faced German who was
sitting on the opposite side of the room,
and then drank their beer. He then
arose and made a speech, after which the
band played 'Hail to the Chief,' amid
great applause.
"I asked a gentleman who sat near me,
and who understood German, what all
the fuss was about, and he said the fel
low who had just made the speech had
treated the hand to beer. It came over
me like a shot that I did not tip the kell*
ner, and that he had put up the job with
the red faced German."—Argonaut.
"Hello, Caah!" "Hello, Bill!"
The lute Seuutor Davis left his house
on Massachusetts avenue one morning
and started to walk to the cars. Sud
denly, us if sprung from the ground,
a man approached him. He was an old
member of Davis' company in the war,
and he looked seedy.
"Hello, CushJ" he exclaimed.
"Hello, Bill!" said the senator. "Where
did you come from?"
For a few moments the senator and the
old soldier chatted together. Finally
came the expected "touch."
"Can you change S2O, Cush?" asked
the dilapidated veteran.
"Yes," answered Davis. v
"Then lend me ten."
Duvis laughed. "That is a little too
Bteep," he said. "Won't you take $2
and call it square?"
It is hardly necessary to add that Sen
ator Davis parted with his money.—

Security Too Hi* to Store.
One of the big speculators in the street
recently went to a banker and said that
he wished to borrow $1,000,000.
"All right." was the response. "What
is your security?"
"My cheek," was the airy and surpris
ing reply.
"Well," responded the banker thought
fully, "your security is good enough, hut
I shall have to decline the loon, as our
vaults aren't large enough to hold it."—

THREE ODD NUMBERS
PECULIARITIES THAT HEDGE ABOUT
THREE, SEVEN AND NINE.
They Have Been Favorite Numerals
nt All Times All the World Over
and Disclose Some (ineer Results
When Twisted About a. Lilt.
Nobody has ever satisfactorily account
ed for the popular partiality for odd num
bers. "This is the third time!" exclaims
Falstnff, on the occasion of a crisis in his
relations with one of the merry wives
of Windsor. "I hope good luck lies in
odd numbers; they say there's a divinity
in odd numbers, either in nativity,
chance or death." And it is scarcely
necessary to say that the belief is much
older thun Sir John Falstaff. Three,
seven and nine appear to have been the
favorite numbers ull the world over. The
ancients had three fates, three furies and
three graces; Neptune's trident had three
prongs, Jupiter's thunderbolt three forks,
and Cerberus three heads. We have
three estates of the realm, a man who
accepts a bill has three days' grace, and
three persons congregated together may
make a riot. Shakespeare was well aware
that he must have neither more nor less
than three witches in "Macbeth" and
that the brindled cat must mew thrice,
and our popular folklore insists upon three
merry men, three blind mice and three
wise men of (lothum. Three meals a
day is the usual scale of feeding.
Of a more mystical character than
three is the figure seven, or, at any rate,
It has a larger number of religious appli
cations. Noah had seven days' warning
of the coming of the flood, and when it
came he took fowls by sevens and clean
beasts by sevens into the ark; the ark
touched on Mount Ararat in the seventh
month, and after seven days a dove was
sent out, followed seven days afterward
by another. In Pharaoh's dream there
were seven fat and seven loan kine,
which Joseph interpreted to mean seven
years of plenty and seven years of fam
ine. At the destruction of Jericho sev
en priests bore seven trumpets seven
days, and on the seventh day they walked
round the city seven times, after which
the walls fell. In the apocalypse almost
everything is seven, except the number of
the beasts. There are seven churches, sev
en golden candlesticks, seven lamps be
fore seven spirits, the book with seven
seals, the lamb with seven horns and sev
en eyes, seven angels with seven seals,
seven kings, seven thunders, seven thou
sand slain, the dragon with seven heads
and seven crowns, seven angels briug
seven plagues, and there are seven vials
of wrath.
In merely secular matters seven occurs
frequently enough. We have seven won
ders of the world, seven champions of
Christendom, seven sleepers, seven wise
men, seven planets, seven deadly sins,
seven ages of man, and our ordinary
leases are made for seven or a multiple
of seven years.
But however mystically significant
three and seven may be, they cannot lay
claim to any such peculiarities ns ore the
property of the figure nine. That the
ancients had nine muses, nine rivers in the
infernal regions, a hydra with nine heads
and nine gods for Lars Porsenn to swear
by, or that in modern times a cat has
nine lives, that it takes nine tnilors to
make n man, or that possession is nine
points of the law, are facts that pale into
insignificance after one has once Rat
down with pencil and paper to investigate
some of the special peculiarifies of the
figure nine. For instance, if you mul
tiply nine by any other number you will
find that the figures composing the prod
uct when added together will always
amount to nine. Thus:
9 x 2 = 18 and I+B = 0,
9 x 3 a 27 and 2 + 7 = 9,
9 X 4 = 36 and 3 + 6 = 9,
anil so on to any extent. On arriving at
11 times 9 we find what appears to be an
exception, for the digits of 99 equal 18.
But it will be observed that 18 is a mul
tiple of 0 and, moreover, that the figures
composing it add up to 9. Another pe
culiarity of this figure is discovered by
taking any number of two figures of
which the first figure is of greater value
than the second, reversing these figures
and then subtracting the number thus ob
tained from the original number. What
ever figures we may take, tlie result will
always be 9or some multiple of 9. The
smallest possible number of two figures
of which the tirst figure is larger than
the second is 21. Reverse the figures,
and we get 12. Subtract 12 from 21, and
the remainder is 9. The largest similar
number is 98. Reverse these, and we get
89. Subtract 89 from 98, and again the
remainder is found to be 9.
Or let us take a case in which 9 com- i
bines with the mystic 7. The number 05 is
not divisible by 9. But if we add 7to it,
either in front, when it makes 705, or in
the middle, when it makes 075, or at the
end, when it makes 057, we shall find
that every one of these numbers is divis- !
ible by 9. It is not every number which
can thus be deult with, and the reader ,
may find an evening's entertainment in
trying to puzzle out the reason why. An
example of a higher number may be giv
en byway of a little assistance: 890,573
is uot divisible by 9, but if the mystic
7 be added to it, either in front, where it
raises the amount by 7,090,000, or in
any other position, each one of the eight
various amounts which may thus be ob
tained becomes divisible by 9.
The fact can be verified by any child
who has mastered the first four rules of
arithmetic, but the explanation of it is
another matter. To Senior Wranglers or
even to Junior Optimes there may be
nothing very mysterious about all this.
Aud it may be that if any of us would
only put himself through a course of the
higher algebra, digest the integral calcu- '
lus and master a few amusing treatises
on the theory of differences ail that now
seems so perplexing in the matter would
become as plain as the multiplication ta
ble,—Loudon Globe.
Order! Order!
The dignity of the house of commons
consists in inventing all sorts of childish
excuses for shouting "Order!" After a
few years of it the average member
seems to become a sort of automatic ma
chine wound up to shout "Order!" The
house would shout "Order!" if the place
were struck with lightning, just as me
chanically as it shouts "Order!" if a
member puts au awkward question to a
cabinet minister. —London Echo.

THAT FIFTH ACE.
When the gold craze of 1840 was at its
height, I was following the life of pro
fessional gambler and general crook at
L> , one of the largest mining towns of;
the west. I had fleeced a couple of min
ers of a snug sum at Hound Hole, n
small mining camp a few miles north of
I) , and had promised to give them a
chance to win back their losings.
Their names were Hudson and Mowyer.
The foriiu'r was a little fellow, while his
partner was tail and powerfully built and
spoke with u peculiarly yet rather pleas
ant drawl.
Early on the api>ointed Sunday morn
ing I set out for Hound Hole, and when
I arrived stopped at the Big Strike sa
loon, where 1 was to meet my two vic
tims. Presently they came riding up to
the door and dismounted. As they came
in it struck me they acted rather formal.
Dodson nodded. Then Mowyer said, in
that peculiar drawl of his, "Well, see'n's
yer afore us, s'pose ye don't mind takin
soincthin fer luck?" And I joined them
at the bar.
Shortly after we were seated at a table,
and it was Dodson's deal. The deck we
had belonged to the suloon. The night
before a desperado had been shot in this
same room, and when Dodson picked up
his hand he found 011 one of his cards u
fresh blood stain. That was enough for
him. "I don't think there is anything
that wouldn't happen to us," he said, "if
we use these cards." So we threw down
our hands.
Seeing in this a golden opportunity, I
quickly produced a deck from my pocket,
and gave it to Mowyer, ns it was his deal
next in order. For u moment he hesitat
ed, and then, looking at me from under
his shaggy brows, drawled out, "Well,
pardner, 1 s'pose this deck's all right, but
see'n's how this ain't no •make believe'
game we're a-goin to play here diree'ly, I
reckon 'twon't do no harm to make sure."
So he began carefully to suit them, one
by one.
The only mirror Round Hole could
boast of was over the bar in the Big
Strike saloon, and while he was busy
with the cards I noted how plainly you
could see his reflection in the glass. Ah!
I could make use of that glass later on,
for it would tell me whether he held any
aces to spoil the effect of those I had in
my sleeve, for we were playing poker.
Before we commenced a stranger came
in and asked leave to join us, and soon
we four were deep in the "game of bluff."
Before the tirst hand had been played I
became conscious of Mowyer's eyes fol
lowing my every move, lie was watch
ing me like a eat, and, stealing a glance
in the mirror, 1 saw bis big six shooter
was lying in his lap. So lie was sus
picions? Very well; I would risk nothing
until big money was at stake.
We played for an hour. Dodson and 1
were ahead, Mowyer and the stranger
were losers, and then the critical moment
came—nearly everything on the talde was
in the pot. Mowyer had bet his last dol
lar anil "called" us. In the excitement
I worked in a "cold" nee at the risk of
my life, played it safe and won the pile
on a "show down." If five aces hail
come out that time, there would have
been another tragedy at the Big Strike.
Mowyer was out. 1 held most of the
"dust," but Dodson and the stranger
were not ready to quit, so another hand
was dealt. It was the stranger's deal. I
had noticed he was very light lingered,
and ns ho shuffled the cards I saw him
slip one up his sleeve, but I said nothing.
I was playing in luck, and after he and
Dodson had staked everything I "called"
them and won the pot again—fair and
square enough this time.
Well, we separated, and 1 mounted my
broncho and started back to D , $2,G00
ahead. But I had barely got out of
sight of the camp when, looking back
over the road, 1 saw a cloud of dust,
with now and then a glimpse of horse
men. When they came nearer. 1 saw
they were headed by Mowyer, and I drew
rein. In a moment they bad come up and
formed a circle around me. Mowyer dis
mounted and stepping forward drew his
ugly looking six shooter and commanded
me to dismount also, lie simply said:
"Would ye be so good ns to lot us see
them there same cards again?" The oth
ers were grimly silent.
I complied carelessly, with a gambler's
nerve—but with a sinking sensation nt
my heart.
"Now, pardner," ho resumed, "we be
a-goin to count these cards again. If
they're all straight, well and good. But
if there's one card inore'n there ought to
be, ye can say yer prayers. I reckon ye
know," be added significantly, "whether
there is or not 'thout us countin." And
he proceeded, laying each card out by it
self on the hot, dusty road.
If I had only put that "cold" ace out of
the way! I thought now I was as good
as "done for."
We were all watching Mowyer. He
had come to one ace, and now another—
diamonds and spades. Shuffle, shuffle,
shuffle, every one intently watching. Now
only n few cards left, now ouly seven
six—five. Ah, another, the ace of hearts.
A slight murmur through the crowd and
then silence again. Slowly now; shuffle,
shuffle, five and four gone. Now only
three left, now two; so, then, it was the
last card in the pack. And now the last
card—and it was the deuce of diamonds!
That fifth ace had not been found —and
I was the most surprised man in the par
ty. Again we parted, and as I resumed
my way it suddenly came to me like a
flash —about the stranger nt the Big
Strike saloon and the card I saw him
slip. Yes, I knew now where the fifth ace
was.
And ns I think it over now it seems, in
deed, I was pretty near to death that
time—"within an hre at It," one might
say.—£}xchftoffe.
