PUZZLED ALL AROUND

AN AMUSING INCIDENT THAT EXCITED A SLEEPING CAR.

A Mystery That Was Started by a Bridal Couple, Heightenea by an Unembarrassed Young Man and Un- veiled by the Dusky Porter,

The bridal couple boarded the train at Suspension Bridge. He was a smooth faced, well set up young man, and she

was a sweet, pretty girl of a bride, There was a large, very hilarious company of wedding guests to see them off, and as the pair struggled from their carriage to the sleeping car they were almost lost to view in showers of rice and flying old shoes. Even this demonstration was not considered adequate, and a dozen or so young men followed them to «heir seats and poured streams of rice over them and down their backs until the train pulled out, while the crowd on the platform howled joyfully.

The young couple stood the ordeal with great courage, and after the train had started did so well that before long the rest of the passengers in the car left off watching thein and began turning in.

The next morning the interest in them

| grew again, when section after section of

the car was made up until the bridal couple’s section stood alone with its cur- tains still drawn. This was the state of things at 8 o'clock, and at 8:30 there had been no change. Nine and a quarter past came round, and still there was no sign of life from the bridal section. When shortly after half past 9 a slight, myste- rious movement Was apparent behind the curtains, almost a sigh of*relief°went up from the rest of the car.

The movement continued, increased, until suddenly, after an especially violent agitation of the curtains, they parted sufficiently to let a young man slip be- tween them into the aisle. His hair was rumpled and his coat collar turned up, and he carried a traveling bag and various articles of wearing apparel to be downed in the washroom. As the young man hurried forward he seemed somewhat puzzled by the almost smiling interest of the rest of the car, but of embarrassment he showed not a trace.

When he had disappeared, the car set- tled itself to await the egress of the bride. But if she was about to make her appearance she showed no signs of it. Neither sound nor motion was discerni- ble from the recesses behind the curtains. In a little while the young man came back showing the freshened effect of cold water and hairbrushes and moved the bottom of the curtains aside suffi- ciently to shove his bag under the berth. As he rose to his feet again the car saw that he was looking down reflectively at the cargo of rice which covered the floor. He continued to regard it for some time, fixedly. Then he raised his eyes and sur- veyed the car. There was a more or less unsuppressed smile on every face, but the young man still showed no embar-

rassment. His eyes traveled down one side and back the other, and they were filled only with a calm thongltfulness. Then he arranged the folds of the heavy

curtains with elaborate solicitude aad finally went forward again and whisper- ed something to the porter. The car, to a passenser, would probably have gladly paid donble fare to have heard those half dozen whispered words. The pretty mys- tery was assuming proportions. But the porter only said, ‘Yes, suh.” And then the young man went over and sat down gravely in an end seat from where he looked smack into the face of every soul in the car.

By this time it was no longer interest that moved the inmates of the car. It was palpitation of the heart. The air was crisp with expectation. It seemed certain that the bride must now make her appearance. &

The next moment the “porter came down the aisle toward the bridal section. He was a fat and very black porter. For an instant he paused before the silent curtains. Then a thrill of horror ran through the car, and several men got half way to their feet. With two swift move- ments he had pulled the curtains wide apart and was thumping and pulling at something within! Another instant and horror had given way to amazement, for the inside of the berth immediately be- came visible to all who cared to see. The porter was making up the section. The bride had vanished!

The car turned swiftly to the hapless bridegroom ‘on the front seat. An expres- sion of Arcadian simplicity rested on his countenance.

A few moments later the porter start- ed toward his linen closet, but half way down the aisle he was held up by half a

witn wonder stricken faces,

“What has become of the bride?” they demanded.

The porter scratched his head and look- ed at them uncomprehendingly. Then he showed his teeth in a grin.

“Oh, the bridal couple w’at got on at Suspension Bridge?’ he said. “They done left the train late last night. They did’n’ have their section made up. That gemman down in front of the car he had upper one, ’n’ he kicked so I shifted him over soon as the bridal couple left.”

The car turned again toward the young man on the front seat. The expression of Arcadian simplicity was still with him. But for the first time across his face there glimmered a faint, thoughtful smile.

The half dozen male passengers and the porter held a moment’s consultation in the middle of the car. Then they came forward, and one of their number said something in a low voice to the young man on the front seat. The young man rose to his feet stil) smiling thoughtfully.

“I see,” he said s.ftly. “I don’t care if I do.”

As the crowd filed toward the buffet car some one in the rear of the procession began to whistle Mendelssohn’s ‘“Wed- ding March.” Then the vassengers in the seats began to laugh.

Very Annoying.

“T despise a person who whistles,” said Mr. Blykins. “We have one in our office, and he worries me almost to death.”

“Haven't you an ear for music?”

“Of course I have. There’s the diffi- culty. Whenever 1 happen to be whis- tling to myself, he invariably takes up the same tune and drowns me out.”— Washington Star.

AN ANGEL UNAWARES. Suppose for every act of love and duty An angel in the path of life should lay A lovely rose of sweet perfume and beauty— Ah, even then how bare would be the way!

Suppose for every kindly word unspoken,

For every fault which careless hands had done, For every resolution made and broken,

A thorn beneath our erring feet had grown—

Ah, then the way would be one stretch of anguisf With only here and there a flower to cheer;

Our feet would falter and our spirits languish, And life would be a burden hard to bear.

But seldom are we outwardly rewarded According to the deeds which we have done; ‘The pure in heart’”’ are by the world discarded,

The wicked harvest where the good have sown

And yet to every heart in darkness hidden There comes an angel, whom we cannot see, Who strives to keep us from the paths forbiddet. And in the narrow way where faith may be.

His name is Conscience, and he brings us roses— Sweet rases, borrowed from the brow of peace—

Or thorns on which remorseful thought reposes Regrets whose sharp tormentings never cease.

Then let us strive temptation’s storm to weather; Let every thought and every deed improve Till Conscience finds no cruel thorns to gather, But crowns the soul with joy and peace and love. —T. Russell Sheldon in Richmond Religious Hes ald.

WARS WAGED FOR CENTURIES.

The Dutch and Achinese Have Been Fighting Since 1449.

Since the first foreigner, in the person of a Dutchman, landed on the island of Sumatra in 1449 the native Achinese have combated the usurping of their land foot by foot.

Although when the Dutch get the Achi- nese out in the open they invariable beat them, the war continues in a desultory manner today and will only end when the last native of Sumatra has been kill- ed in action. ‘The number of Achinese killed has never been known, but the war has been @ very serious drain on the manhood of Holland, and many of her best soldiers were killed between the years 1873 and 1879, when the struggle was very bitter.

Since 1604, when the Persians surren- dered Armenia to Turkey, the numerous sultans of Turkey have never sheathed their swords in regard to the former country save in the flesh of the inhabit- ants.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century Algiers finally passed into the hands of France. From that time till the present the French nation has always kept an army corps of not less than 54,- 000 French troops garrisoned there to fight the Arabs who infest the hinterland and raid the French possessions at least ence a year.

Chief among these are the Touaregs, who fight with one-half of their faces masked and fight always to the death or victory. Never once has a Touareg been taken alive. France cannot subdue them, for, if beaten, they flee to the desert, where no trained army can follow them.

The Riffians, who are the scourge of Morocco, resemble the Touaregs in that they also take and give no quarter; but, instead of living in the heart of the Sa- bara, they fight from their mountain fortresses and keep the sultan of Moroc- co in continual dread.

Tos keep his soldiers in good fettle the sultan every year gives at least three months’ fighting to them by picking a quarrel with one of the feudal holders of the numerous semibrigand strongholds.

No one knows when the first blood feud began in Corsica or when the first brigand set up shop. Nor can any one tell when the last will put up his shut- ters.

Even in the time of the Romans the in- habitants were too busy fighting one an- other to care whether a foreign garrison was left on the island or not.

Not a day goes by without several lives being sacrificed in the cause of some vendetta, and as each life means the sac- rifice in atonement of at least two more there is hardly one Corsican whose life is not wanted by a fellow countrymaa and who in running away is not also chasing some other person.

Peacocks.

Peacocks of the familiar ordinary v&a- riety are raised by the breeders of fancy fowls.of one sort or another, and they are not very costly nor is there much de- mand for them. A pair of such peacocks might cost from $12 to §20. They be sold for collections or for public parks,

a

‘ve of these birds are raised in this onntry. but the greater number are im- “ted from Europe. White peacocks are ' ordinary peacocks in their general icteristics, but instead of having pircuage of the familiar blue and green

t lur private purks or grounds. where the white peacock would be rveferred.

White peacocks are rarer and more costly than those of the ordinary kind, roveing in price from $100 to $225 a pair. “

S

' Dlack, their plumage is white. Some- times the “eres” in the white peacock’s | tnil are of a creamy tint, giving to the tail when spread the effect of lace, from which such birds are called white lace Henne kes,

‘ihe demand for peacocks of any varie- vy is small, and no dealer in birds and an- imals keeps them in stock, supplying them only on order. His Motive.

“T will ask you now,” the attorney for the prosecution said to the witness, “if the defendant in this case confessed to you his motive in shooting the deceased.”

“Hold on!” interposed the attorney for the defense. “I object.”

“I only want to find out whether”—

: “I object!” Legal wrangle of half ap our.

“The witness may answer,” ruled the judge.

“Now, then, sir, I will ask you again. Did or did not the prisoner confess to you his motive in shooting the deceased?”

“He did.”

“What was it?’

“He wanted to kill him.’—Chicago Tribune.

“They say that Mr. Snickers is a pro- fessional humorist, but I have never heard him make a joke in conversation,” said Mrs. McBride.

Too many endure the misery of back- acve without knowing that it is ths unmistakable sympiom oc kidney dis- ease. As you value your life do not neglect a backache. It tells of the pe- ginning of the most fatal of diseases —Bright’s Disease of the kidneys.

Mr. D. C. Simmons, Mabee, Ont., writes :—‘*‘ My kidneys and back were :o bad that I was unable to sleep or vork. My urine had sediment like rickdust, and I had to get up three rr four times every night.

‘I saw Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills advertised, and decided to give them a trial. I have only used one box, and am a wei! man again. I cana auw wood or do aiiy Kind of work, and 1m not bothered with backache or kid- aey troubles I also enjoy good rest and sleep, which is a great relief af- ter suffering for eighteen years.”
