Sunday after Sunday the same de mure little creature sat tn the last pen on the right-hand side of the centef aisle In St. Matthias's Church, and Sunday after Sunday the young minis ter In charge looked down over hll congregation and caught the wistful look of a pair of dark brown eyes thai was solemn and pathetic at once. Be fore the laat amen of the recessional had ceased to vibrate on the ears ol the kneeling worshippers, the llttU creature had each time made her way out of the church unnoticed. After I while the Rev. John Orlmshaw, who was six and twenty, and Impressiona ble at that, began to feel the lnfluenc of that benign expression, and of those solemn dark eyes, and decided to speak with the girl If an opportunity pre sented Itself, and the opportunity did come one Friday nlgbt, on a saint's day when there was a special service a the church In the evening. She had never been Into the church before except on Sunday, and what was his surprise and pleasure when tka young minister lifted bis eyes that night and saw the face that was be ginning to interest blm sitting before him quite near the front During the singing of a hymn he approached he and asked her to remain after the ser vices, as he wished to say a few words; to her. She did not reply, except with; a mute appeal with her splendid darbj eyes. He mistook her silence for em barrassment, and returned to his place at the lectern. At the close of the service he hur ried to the side of the girl, who was Just In the act of leaving her pew, and spoke a few words to her. He was in viting her in that calm, deliberate waj that characterized him, to come tq church often, to consult him, to become, a regular worshipper at the church: but as he talked in low, persuasivi. ' tones, and no response came from the. girl, he began to wonder at her ex treme bashfulness, and when she be gan to shake her head and to make rap id signs with her deft fingers, in an in stant he realized that the appealing eyes that followed bim in his dreamt and in his waking moments and th pretty but sad face, were those of I deaf mute, and so swift and sudden was the surprise that swept over him, thai be could have cried out in his anguish. A chill came over his heart, but only, for an Instant, and In the next he com municated as best he could by nodi and smiles and expression that he un derstood her and was sorry for her. H tried to make her understand that h would like her to continue to come to church and be a good Christian, but whether she comprehended him or no be did not know. He walked to the door with her, and as she went slowly; down the stone steps he nodded a plea sant good night as she looked back. When he was alone that night the, young preacher gave way to bis emo tion. He realized that he waa deeply, In love with the little being who bad never spoken a word to blm, and who, he now knew, would never speak to him. He should never know the sound of her voice, which In bis fancy was low and soft and musical. At last sleep pulled the curtain be fore those precious, yet bitter thoughti and the Rev. Mr. Orlmshaw feil into I deep slumber and dreamed that hi was sailing tha sea with this beauti ful girl, that he held her In bis arms, that ha called her "Ruth." When ha awoka it waa with the bitterest disap pointment, for ha was alone and thi bright sun was streaming full upon bia, face. He remembered that tha Ktng'l Daughters of the parish were to enjoy, an excursion down the bay that day, and as he bad many little affairs of im portance to attend to before 2 o'clock, the hour of sailing, he busied himself about them, saying the name of Ruth softly to himself in the meanwhile, and wondering if her name were realljt Ruth. The excursion steamer was in wait ing at the dock, and one by ne tha, young girls stepped aboard, each smil ing her sweetest as she noticed the, young minister standing on the wharf, It wanted one minute of the hour, antj anxious ones aboard the little excur sion steamer were calling to Mr. Orlm shaw to come aboard and not get left If ha beard he heeded not, and just n he was about to give up the hope oj her coming, just as they were about U pull in the gangplank, a slight flgur In a neat-fitting black dress, with whlt lace at the throat and a small black baj set upon a shapely little head crowned with a wealth of chestnut brown hair approached the wharf. Calling to thi sailors to wait a moment, John Orlm Bhaw sprang forward and, taking thi girl by the arm, forgetful that shi could not hear a word he said, explain ed to her that she was late and mua hurry to get aboard in time. She onl) mtled and turned her wistful eyes ful upon blm, and his heart swelled with a feeling undefinable, for he thought that he perceived love in her looks. It would occupy an hour and a hall to reaoh their destination, and he took her under hia especial charge. It was a merry crowd. It waa JoUiest in the stern ef the boat, where people were packed like sardines on the deck seats and on camp stools. John Orlmshaw and the mute little creature he loved were sitting together. Their arms touchy S ter leaned on te ailing and looked but upon the "water the yachts, the smacks, the BRllIng vessels, the rowboRts that paused and repassed them. Suddenly he felt what seemed to be the spray aftainst hlB face. An other Instant, and without warning, big drops of rain beftan to fall and nn ominous black cloud covered the blue of the sky. Sheets of water rained and blew from the northwest. Big green waves that afterward became yeasty lashed them selves angrily against the sides of tin little steamboat that rolled and piti hed In Its efforts to upright - ltsell against their fury. Thunder rolled and blinding and zig-zag streaks ol lightning played across the sky. Th rain poured In torrents and swept ovei the deck, wetting everything In Hi path, and driving the now thoroughlj frightened people to the opposite sld of the boat, which, with its uneven weight, leaned and tipped In that di rection. Water rushed In upon th lower deck. The Captain shouted: "Some of you go to the other side ol the boat. Don't all rush to one side or you will have us overboard." Th women became excited, and a genera rush to the cabin began, until the or der waa given that no more should come down into the cabin. The fury of the tempest in the mean time never abated. The steamboa! was shrouded In a mlBt of wind and rain, and the erstwhile Jolly crowd wai now a panic-stricken one. Lunch bas kets and boxes that were carefull) placed under the seats were saturated with salt water. Meanwhile, the young minister had laid a firm grasp upon the girl's arm and half lifted, half dragged her to s passageway leading to the cabin, thai was enclosed by glass windows and doors, and thus protected her from th rain. She did not seem to compre hend the extent of her danger, and looked on at the movements of th panic-stricken crowd like some curious wild-eyed child. The sky became Inky black. Noth ing could be discerned on the open decs but the terrible sheets and gusts ol rain, made gray by the blackness. Just then the heavens seemed to open, and a blinding flash of lightning played and capered across the boat; a deafening peal of thunder, like the bursting of e thousand cannon, seemed to shake th very waters of the deep, and to echo and re-echo across the boundless waste It was terrific, and people clapped their hands to their ears, and whlti faces became blanched. A sharp, shrill piercing scream arose above It all. A" scream of agonized fear. It came from the deaf mute, who swayed for a mo ment, and would have fallen had not her ever watchful companion caughl her and supported her In his arms What had caused her to scream! Fright, perhaps, he thought, as she wit nessed the battle of the elements. Sure ly she has not heard that thunderboll as It hurled Itself from on high. Pshawl Was she not deaf, and how could sht hear? It made him almost glad t know that she had been spared thai peal, that caused many a heart to stand still for an instant. He held her fast In his arms and softly spoke the name "Ruth." Sht lifted those eyes with a glance ai sweet as an angel's. Her heart flutter ed. She smiled with a smile of rec ognltlon, as If she had heard. Intul tively be felt that she had heard hh voice. He had read once of such t miracle that a volley of thunder s( dense and so terrific as to deafen a per son of ordinary hearing had In somi miraculous and divine way restored thi hearing of a man who had been dea' from birth. And, perhaps, this pre clous gift had been restored to the gir be loved. He spoke once more tht name he had spoken In his dreams and she gave sign that she beard. I1 waa too true. It was a miracle of thi storm, and he bowed his head and thanked Ood. If he could but hear her voice. Bu that Inestimable pleasure was to bi denied him. And yet his dream wai coming true, for he dreamed that hi sailed the sea with her in his arms! Oh, gentle dreams! Oh, destiny! It waa not long before the storn ceased as suddenly as It came, and thi heavy black clouds receded, and thi blue In tha sky was as bright as whei they started out The little steamei cut pluckily through the water, and ii halt an hour the party, now in excel lent spirits had reached the cool, shad) grove. The miracle wrought durlni tha storm was the talk of the day, am not less talked about was the devotioi of the minister to the happy unfortu aate who knew now that she loved Mm and with an unfathomable intultioi given to creatures like herself, kne also that John Orlmshaw loved her He did not love her leas because shi could not speak, else the banns would not have been published, and the mar riage that took place In St. Matthias': Church six months after would neve have occurred. She never spoke ti him with her voice, but her eyes am her lips and her hands spoke to him al ways, and Sunday after Sunday as h looked over his congregation, the sera little figure, with a face of sweetnea rather than sadness, looks up Into hii eyes intelligently and hears the bless ed words as they fall from his lips. Roller Boat. The curious spectacle of a marine craft propelled by enormons air-tight disc-shaped hollow wheels suggests a radl.al departure in the methods ol boat-buliding. That the experiment waa a failure, was the natural conse quence of the principles on which the craft waa constructed. All of the ma chinery and passenger accommodations rested upon a platform supported by these air-tight wheels arranged in rows on either side. The general ef fect waa that of a huge wagon, the box of which rested on the water. One ol the causes of the failure of this venture was that the wheels took up sufficient water to handicap them seriously. An attempt was made to counteract this by increasing the power, but this add ed to the weight of the machinery and did not work successfully. A device to scrape the water from the wheels was equally futile, and as it stands now the roller boat baa scored a moat bril liant failure. EDWIN BOOTH'S SACRIFICE. How He Rnrnril Prei!ova Relies Left II 7 Hid llrother, the Amnlii, Booth was so sensitive upon the sub led of his brother Wilkes' assasslna llon of Abraham Lincoln that Wilkes' name was never mentioned to his wounded relative. His pictures were ill taken away from their favorite cor ners nnd walls, trinkets and gifts from dim were hastily hidden and a constant brooding over the calamity settled up an Booth a ceaseless melancholy. One night Mr. Booth asked Garry to sea that the furnaces of the theater were fired up anew toward midnight, and that Garry alone should attend to the Bre, dismissing tha guard, the stokers and the firemen, from their accustom ed watch. At midnight Mr. Booth or dered Garry to help carry a heavy trunk from Mr. Booth'B private room to the blazing cave of ovens, Booth lending a tender hand to the lifting of the great load. Garry asked no ques tions, but silently obeyed orders, and when the glare from the furnace struck the trunk upon the end grew the worn letters, "J. W. B." White as a statue, the brother un locked the Bhot man's Iron-bound chest and told Garry to stand apart and not to touch an article within. Garry stood In the black shadows and watch ed the sufferer take each garment ol John Wilkes' piece by piece, and rev erently put it upon the flaming coals, and watrh It burn to a flame of scarlet white. When Edwin came to the llttls dagger Macready had given to Junius Brutus Booth, who had In turn given II to Wilkes, Mr. Booth stood holding it and turning It over in his hands, big sobs rising between the roars of ths mighty fire and tears raining over hll countenance. First, he put the llttls Jewelled toy In a pocket next his heart, but after the last remnant of clothing, the last trinket and locket, last pic ture, ribbon and buckle of John Wllkei Booth's possessions was in cinders, Mr Booth walked close up to the fire and threw the dagger Into the core of it then took an ax and split the trunk In to kindling and burned every splinter of the chest in silence, in reverence, with the unconscious dramatic splendor of martyrdom. Thirty Mllcn Kor An Acorn. Down In Mexico there lives a wood pecker who'stores his nuts and acorni In the hollow stalks of the yuccas and magueys. These hollow stalks ar separated by joints Into several cavi ties, and the sagacious bird has some how found this out, and bores a hole al the upper end of each Joint, and anoth er at the lower, through which to ex tract the acorns when wanted. Then It fills up the stalks solidly and leaves its stores there until needed, safe from the depredations of any other thievish bird or four-footed animal. The first place In which this curious habit was observed was on a hill In the midst of a desert. The hill was cov ered with yuccas and magueys, but the nearest oak trees were thirty miles away, and so, It was calculated, these industrious birds had to make a flight of sixty miles for each acorn stowed thus in the stalks! An observer of birds remarks: "There are several strange features to he noticed in these facts; the provi dent instinct which prompts this bird to lay by stores of provisions for tha winter, the great distances traversed to collect a kind of food so unusual for Its race, and Its seeking In a place so remote from Its natural abode a storehouse so remarkable." Can Instinct alone teach, or have ex perience and reason taught these birds that, far better than the bark of trees or crevices in rocks, or any other hid ing place are these hidden cavities they make for themselves with tha hollow stems of distant plants? This we cannot answer. But we do know that one of the most remarkable birds In our country Is this California woodpecker, and that he is well enti tled to his Mexican name of El Car plntero the carpenter bird. Not a Freak of Lightning. Smith I was reading in the paper this morning about a Texas maa who was struck by lightning while he was swearing. Remarkable occurrence, wasn't it? Brown Oh, I don't know. If light ning was to strike a Texas man when he wasn't swearing It would be much more remarkable.
