A MODERN PARR! Ast

JJ

By FRANCIS LY (t‘ontinved, )

It was positively refresiing to such a stream of information fectly vacuous mind, with the

pour into a per-

assurances

that it could never find its way out again, and Leonard, warming to his work, went into details with the mi-

muteness which his auditor’s powers of comprehension seemed to demand.

Bitts listened asa dull man might, with apparent interest when he could understand and with respectful atten- tion when the matter grew abstruse,

but his questions were always fruitful, and Leonard encouraged thera as giving him a still deeper insight into the char- acter of the type burglarious.

Hence, what with acute enthusiasm on one hand and patient, if somewhat ungrasping, attention on the other, the hall clock struck 1 before Leonard real- ized that what he desired to accomplish needed not to be wrought out in a single sitting. Wherefore he arose and made amends,

*‘By Jove! That’s 1 o’clock. I owe you an apology for keeping you up so late, though I presume in your profes- sion you're used to bad hours. Come with me and I'll show you where you are to sleep.*’ :

He led Bitts to a bedroom at the end of the corridor, touching electric pushes | for additional light as he went along. |

**Yon'll find everything comfortable | and cozy, I think, Mr. Bitts. You see, | we've been expecting you for several days. Make yourself quite at home, and consider yourself for the time being a | member of the family. Only don’t try to get away. I shan’t lock the door, and, as you see, the windows are pro- tected only by fly screens, but I assure you you could never get ont of here alive witbout my help. Good night. Touch this button when you want to pug out the lights,."’

The guest said ‘Good night,'’ and Leonard thought he surprised the sim- ulacrum of a satirical grin on the man’s face as he closed the door. A mib- ute later he was giving Helen a cir- cumetantial acconnt cf what had be- fallen.

**It worked like a charm from begin- ning to end, he continued, with par- donable pride. ‘‘No hitches, no danger, no violence, though I did have to give him a mild shock, just to illustrate the completeness of the thing.’’

**Oh, Harvey! You didn’t hurt bim, aid you?’’ }

**Of course not. He’s too fine a speci- - men to be spoiled in the taking.”’

*“‘And what arrangements did you make with him?’

5 |

*‘Just what we planned. We've had our first seance, and he isto be our guest until I’m through investigating

him. After that as he came.”’

**Thank goodnees, I’m glad it’s all over!’’ exclaimed Helen gratefully, amd with this the matter rested for what was left of that eventful night.

The next day chanced to be Sunday, and it was quite late when Leovard went up toescort his guest tothe break- fast room. The door of the corridor chamber was open, the bed had not been slept in, and the room was empty. Pinned to the pillow slip was 2 note in the neat handwriting of a practiced perman:

m FACTS ABOUT B*"""'S, % What woman dvocsn’t ve want a baby—a dimpl-

% ing, laughing darling,

es dainty enough to be 1/ cradled in a snow- \i Ay white lily? Every wo- on" + + TN matniy woman wants

one, but she doesn’t want too dainty a baby A baby’s cheeks may be too waxen-white and its body too puny, and when that’s the case, baby’s won’t dimple’or its lips laugh, and death is in its eyes.

Above all things a woman wants a healthy baby, and she may kave one if she will but use the right remedy for weakness and dis- ease of the delicate and important organs that make baby a possibility. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the best of all med- geines for prospective or would-be mothers. It makes a woman’s distinetive organism strong, healthy and vigorous, It allays in- flammation, soothes pain and heals ulcera- tian. It banishes the discomforts of the waiting time and makes the little new- comer’s entree to the world easy and almost painless. It insures baby’s health. In writing for advice to Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y., a mother, wife or mai writes to one of the most eminent and skill- ful specialists in the world, at the head of a staff of physicians that has treated over 250,000 women.

within a year and a half, after going six rs without Saving any children. F°so not now

how the third one came out, for we moved away.”

Torpid liver and constipation are surely and speedily cured by Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They never gripe. They regulate, tone up and invigorate the liver, stomach

“Oh, Harvey! Can’t you guess?” she faltered.

He fell into a chair and hid his face. “I don’t have to guess. I know,’ he groaned. ‘‘He was no than Lam. It was that villain Macar- thur of The Ream. Has the mail come?’’

It had, and Helen found the paper with trembling fingers. There it was under staring headlines, with every deiail elaborated and every id crasy, down to a minute descripti mn of the burglar trap, made the most of with true journalistic thrift not un- mingled with sardonic humor.

Helen read it aloud with tears in her voice. Leonard listened sign,

*‘Isn’t it too despicably heart!ess!’’ she cried at the end, and Leonard had to emile in spite of his chagrin.

**I fancy that depends upon the point of view, but we'll take that ground in evening up things with Mr. Macarthur. What with this write up and the sham date he gave me last night, not to speak of the wear and tear on my nerves in landing him, he’s left me pretty deeply in debt, but I shouldn’t wonder if [ could make out to pay the account be- forc it’s outlawed. On the other hand, I’m not so sure he hasn’t served my turn without meaning to. He will make a fairly good proxy burglai in the absence of the real thing.’’

Leonard's figure of epeech was mild, bat his vengeance was smple. When pyre new novel appeared, it was speed- $y discovered that a certain young

The Hindoo Child Wlife.

A Hindoo child wife divides ker year in two intervals, one of whick she spends with her parents, this being a sort of vacation time, and the other she spends at the house of her husband’s parents, this being the time of daily downright drudgery. Village girls in Bengal blacken their teeth with mishi, a coloring powder. The lips are black also, and this is supposed to make them exceedingly charming.

Writing letters, especially to her hus- band, is thought to be fearful immodesty in a Hindoo girl, and she has no chance of improving her mind by intelligent conversation with any one. She must write to her husband, though she has to do it by stealth in the night. The moon is her lamp, a stick out of the domestic

Fond of Eggs.

Among the animals held sacred by the ancient Egyptians was the ichneu- mon, Or mongoose, which, because of its fondness for the eggs of crocodiles and enakes, proved valuable in keeping thy se obnoxious animals from multiply- ing too fast. Rey. Chauncey Maples, a niissionary to Hast Africa, describes the

Way in which this peculiar animal, Which in size and general appearance

somewhat resembles the cat, disposes of its favorite article of diet.

The mongoose, on receiving an eze, immediately goes to a wall, and, turn- ing its back to it, takes the egg in its fcrepaws and throws it backward be- tween its legs against the wall so as to break it. It then sucks the shel] dry.

The funny thing is that whatever we give it that looks like an egg, say an old bone or a stone, it evidently mis- takes it for an egg and treats it accord-

| ingly. It is very ridiculous to see it for

broom her pen, the juice of the puin | berry her ink and probably the dried |

leaf of the banana her paper.

A Hindoo girl must always keep the |

inner apartment of the house.

She is |

only let out when she goes to draw wa- |

ter for the household either from the pond or the well or the river. Hence the waterside is a great feminine re- sort, a sort of women’s club, where there is much gossiping and plenty of stolen leisure. —Christian Register.

A Department Store.

A Punjab journal some years ago re-

. . ' corded the story of the way in which

an English shopkeeper supplied all the wants of a customer, an Anglo-Indian, at home on a brief furlough.

The gentleman had completed the pur- chase of tablishment in was asked by the grateful

Westburnia, when hes proprietor,

introduced asthe daughter of a deceased |

officer.

The journal goes on to say that the introduction led toa courtship, which in turn led toa happy marriage. Ina few weeks the shopkeeper lost his sweet faced clerk, and one of the Punjab sta- tions gladly welcomed her as the wife of the returned traveler.

Fortynately the shopkeeper knew much to the credit of his customer or this hurried but satisfactory little ro- mance would never have occurred.

An Irishman’'s Chivalry.

William Smith O’Brien, the leader of the National party of Ireland, who was transported in 1849, had none of the gifts which attract the multitude. He was an orator, his manners were not winning, and he made few intimacies.

Bunt his character and his well poised head put him at the head of the Nation- alists, whose purpose was to secure the independence of Ireland. An anecdote related in Sir Charles Gavan Duffy's book of reminiscences, ‘‘My Life In Two Hemispheres,’’ shows the chivalry of the man.

He had a dus! in the days when that savage method of settling disputes waé the custom, and the two men were placed opposite to each other.

Just as the signal ‘‘One, two, three— fire!’ was about to be given O’Brien oried :

“Stop! No signal, I pray!’’

His opponent’s second stepped for-
