Demark's Wife,

Of course everv one knows the mer

cantile house of Demark & Go. Singlemann and I were the Co., and Demark well, of course, he was Demark. Demark and Singlemann had loomed together when they were boys and young men. Then Demark got married, and Siiiglemann took the rooms he has now. "Siiiglemann, old fellow," I said, when we sat alone in the counting-room after the store was closed on Christmas eve, "I have a turkey which I want help on to-morrow. Come down to dinner." " Too late, my boy ; I just promised Demark to go up with him to-morrow. His wife particularly requested it, and so I don't like to refuse, you know." " Oh, of course not. Very nice little woman, Demark's wife is." 4 What I" said Singlemann, so fiercely and sharply that I was quite startled. I said Mrs, Demark was rather a fine My." Certainly f certainly !" said Singlemann, looking- somewhat abashed. Then, after a pause, he said : " I didn't exactly catch what yon said at first" The fire was slowly smoldering in the grate, and the shutters were closed. I poked up the coals and remarked that it looked a little like snow outside. "I always feel a little queer and nervous on Christmas eve," said Singlemann, evidently thinking about his abrupt ejaculation a few minutes before, and not heeding what I said; "you mustn't mind me. " . What's the matter, Singlemann V' said L "Didn't I ever tell you about it V said he. "No." "HI hadn't acted like a foci," he replied harshly, speaking more to himself than to me, "it might have been different now." I presumed that it would and so didn't contradict him. "1 thought you knew how near I came to getting married once," he said, with an attempt at a laugh. The laugh wouldn't come, and so he took the poker from me and vengefuUy poked the fire. : ' "When I used to clerk here, you know, Demark and I roomed away out Woodward avenue. I thought it to be nearly out in the interior of Michigan then, but ifs different now. Every morning as I came down the avenue I met a young girl. There were no street cars then, and, besides, if there had been well, we practiced economy, you know that's why we boarded away out there in "the country but that girl I didn't notice her very much at first, and Demark, he never noticed her at all. We both came down together. Demark was always thinking of business ; he was have a cigar? listening is dry work: smoke and make it dryer." -"Why, Singlemann, you know JL never . smoke ; go on." "I told you I was queer to-night. Did you ever notice bow wrapped up Demark is in business ? Business will be the conversation over the turkey tomorrow. I tell you, young men nowadays" "How about the girl?" " Oh lyes she always dressed plainly,-but you ought to have seen her. I tell you, John, young ladies nowadays think of nothing but dress, and yet, with all their silks and feathers " "I know; Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like your Woodwara avenue belle in plain clothes." He poked the fire for nearly two minutes, and I began to fear that I had figuratively put my foot into it and lost my story. "I think any one must have fallen in love with her, but I could never get Demark to see it. I never cared for any one before or since. I was completely but what's the use of talking of that ? I met her every morning. She always looked straight ahead and never seemed to know that she passed the same two fellows every day. Where did she live ? What did she do? One night in December as I came up late from the store I was astonished to see my young lady I call her mine standing at a desk in a counting-room. Her hat and cloak were flung on the desk beside her and she was evidently just ready to leave. The loveliest little frown was on her brow, and the figures evidently wouldn't add up right The lamp-light shone on her f ice and it never looked so handsome before. I stood before the window and gazed there in rapt admiration, and, I may say, adoration. I tell yon, John, 1 don't believe that people nowadays know what it is" ' " Well, did she come out ? " "Of course, she did," said Singleman, a little crossly, "and equally of course I followed her at a distance, and saw where she lived. She walked straight on and did not seem a bit afraid. She seemed to set her lips closely together, draw her cloak around her and walked swiftly to her destination. Several times I determined to speak to her, but had neither courage nor excuse. 'Demark said I, when I reached my room, . wake up and I shook" "Singlemann," said I, "I am not Demark. There is - no use in shaking me. "I beg your pardon," continued Singlemann, releasing his grip on my shoulder. -"I don't think. you care much about what I am saying, though. What interest can yon have" "Now don't fly off on a tangent in that manner. Of course I want to know

how it turned out. What did you say to Demark?" "Nothing that night. You can't awaken Demark when he once gets to sleep. Why, one time when we were boarding down on Jefferson avenue a fire broke out about 2 o'clock in the morn ing. and 1--" 74 0 yes j next morning I unfolded my plan to Demark. It was the day before Christmas. I told him all about my discovery of where she was employed. Now, said I, 'she's anxious to get the accounts straightened out before the end of the year.' " 'Evidently," says Demark. 4 Well, very likely she'll be there late to-night ; now well follow her you on the opposite side of the street she is, and you cross over and speak to her and try to make her take your arm, then she'll scream and I'll rush up and rescue her, and of course, see her home and Ret acquainted." "Rather an ancient device," I remarked. "Perhaps it is now," said Singlemann, in an irritated manner. " Young men of the present day are up to almost anything, but 1 never "heard of it before; of course, it was silly I guess I know that without being told of it, but nowadays people think" "No they don't, Singlemann ; go on with what 3 on were saying. Demark consented, of course ? " " No, he didn't ; that is, not at first. He got indignant at having all the disgrace of the operation and none of the pleasure, but I explained to liim that he didn't care a cent for the girl, while I was madly in love with her, audi conjuring him by all the ties of friendship, he at last reluctantly consented. You see, Demark never cared anything about girls, or such as that ; he was all business. I have often said to him, jokingly, of course, that I oelieved that if " " Singlemann, go on with that diabolical plot of yours, and never mind Demark. I know him well enough," " Of course you do. Well, all the way down to the store where she worked Demark was saying what a mean thing it was for two young men to conspire to frighten the life out of a girl on the streets of a city. We got there at last, and she was at her desk. Ah ! John, when I picture how she stood there but that's no matter. I thought she would never come out it seemed ages. I never could have stood it, only it kept all my attention getting Demark to stick to his promise, for he wanted to back out now that we wore at the spot. You know Demark is the very soul of honor. Why, when Beat & Embezzle failed, you know, we neednt have paid a cent, for they held no " " Well, but about this girl ?" "Singlemann, do you remember that I know the whole particulars of that failure?" "Certainly. That's a fact. I forgot that. Well, Demark wanted to go home again, and begged me to release him from his promise, but I wouldn't, and he stuck to Ms contract like a man he always does, you know. Well, just as the City Hall bell struck 11 ,? - " Oh, oh ! Singlemann keep straight now. Why, man, the City Hall was not built then' 'That's so lam telling a straight story for all that slip. Some bell struck 11. I had my face pressed against the pane, but where she could not see me, and as the hour was tolled she shut up the heavy ledger, and I heard her say, 'Only an hour to Christmas and she smiled. Jolin, she looked divinely like an angel only angels don't keep books, except the recording angel. But just then Demark began begging off again. She came out, and, as before, walked rapidly away," " 'Now 1 whispered to Demark, 'remember your promise "He crossed the street without a word, and I followed the girl. Demark acted his part like a man, or a villain, rather. He crossed back again, and, coming up to her, said : " Madam, allow me to see you home and offered his arm.

My heart beat wildly, but I prepared

for a rush on Demark. " She didn't scream she hurriedly looked up and down the road and saw apparently she was alone with this man. I could see by the light of the lamp that her face was deadly pale, but, in a calm voice (the sweetest voice I ever heard) she said : "'You may walk beside me if you wiD "Demark would rather have taken my knock-down than that, and looked exceedingly sheepish as he walked along with her, and I followed behind, not knowing what to do, as that was a totally unexpected turn in the affair, " Thus did the strange trio proceed for about a quarter of a mile, when suddenly a policeman and a lantern loomed up from a doorway he was examining. Like an arrow she sprang from Demark's side and grasped the astonished policeman by the arm with both hands. " ' Sir, sir ! ' she cried, now in the wildest excitement, which showed how pent-up her fear had been before, ' that man has insulted me, when he thought no one was Dear arrest him and her eyes fairly blazed with scorn as she pointed at Demark. "'Madame said my unfortunate friend, 'if you- ' " Don't speak to me, you you coward she replied contemptuously. Then suddenly and without a word she turned and walked rapidly away. "The policeman placed his hand on Demark's shoulder. Demark had been standing there transfixed, with his eyes following the retreating figure of the girL He seemed to wake up, and flung the hand of the policeman from his shoulder. " ' Come my man, none 'o that said the officer, "'Keep your hands from me cried Demark. "The policeman drew his club and grasped Demark again, and I sprang to the rescue of my friend, but somehow I ran against that club, and so if you want the details of that scnfile you must ask Demark or hunt up that policeman. "DemarksawChristmasmorning dawn through the bars of the lock-up. "I had an interview with him, and found him very much depressed. He didn't give a cent, he said, about the arrest, but the meanness of the action was what hurt him. I proposed to see our employer and have him go Demark's bail, or else have the affair hushed upj if possible; but Demark positively forbade any such proceeding; besides, it woald invariably result in the discharge of both of us. "I left the cell as dejected as Demark was, and didn't know what to do. "I resolved to do an act of -justice, however, and accordingly went direct to the residence of the young lady and rapped on the door there was no bell. "I had no sooner done so than I remembered that I didn't even know what name to ask for. However, the young lady herself opened the door and put an end to my embarrassment on this score, but increased my embarrassment on a thousand others. "I told the whole story, putting the blame exactly where it belonged. She never said a word during the recital, but sat there with that straight-ahead look in her eyes, and I half donbte4 whether she paid any attention to what I said. " She bowed me out without a word, and I went home more depressed than ever. After thinking the matter over I resolved to go to our employer and lay the whole case before him, in spite of what Demark had said, and, by assuming the whole blame, as of course I ought to do, and accepting my discharge, he might get Demark out and keep liim in

his" employ. It was no fun to lose" food place then, I can tell you ; no ays people change around mo: There's that young Smyth who kept counts for Us last year, t hear he's -San Francisco, and I guess doing fir rate I told Smyth when ho left tl "Never mind Sinyth' said I; "1 your employer get Demark out ?" " As I was saying, I started down see him when I met Demark hims ' Why, how did you get out ? ' " " Oh' said Demark, glum as an c ter, " Pierce, where the, girl ke books,- came down and the complo was withdrawn." " That was all," said Singlemann, w a sigh. " But the girl," said I. Did you oknow what her name was? Did j ever see her again ? " " Well yes, said Singlemann, poki up the now-dead fire, " She's Mrs. 1 mark. I take my Christmas dinner w them to-morrow."

Some years ago Professors at Got gen, Michaelis and Kastner, were nfor learning and power in lectur They were rivals in popularity, am ways at swords' points in personal ii course. Michaelis was selfish and gardly, Kastner liberal and full of s pathy, but eccentric in his meth Then- treatment of a poor student, wj is one of the traditions of the versity, illustrates their different c acters. The student went to Michaelis, stating his extreme poverty, begged privilege of attending lectures wit the regular fee. The Professor hesifc and noticing that the young man silver buckles in his shoes, said it unbecoming a poor man to wear ; ornaments, and he would accept thei place of the fee. The young man took them off w: heavy heart, and went with unstraj shoes to Kastner. He told of his perienoe with Michaelis, and begg free admission to Kastner's lecti Kastner went out a moment, and turned with an old pair of leaU breeches, saying: "Yon must be in need of clothes, you shall have these cheap." The student protested that he nee no clothes, but the Professor insis and exacted a half-dollar. The stuc went to his room, angry at the new suit, and throwing the breeches on floor, heard a sound as of money cl. ing, and found a purse of gold in: pocket. He carried it to the Profes! who refnsed to receive it, saying, : bargain is a bargain. The breechesi yours, with everything belonging! them." The student was in funds the rest of the term.

Monkey Shooting In Gambia. The mere fact of slaughtering monk will probably not cause auy great deg. of pleasure to any one aspiring to i title of sportsman, though at the sai, time a man choosing to kill as many as possible might yet not consider himself altogether wanton in his sport, for the monkeys may be termed vermin. They are a great nuisance to the agriculturist, and cause much loss, especially in the ground nut plantations, where they frequently pick the seed out of the gronud almost as soon as it is planted. To shoot the dog-faced monkey is easy, but to make a bag is quiet another matter. Yon may knock him out of a tree, or you may bowl him over on the ground, but you will not find him on the spot where you feel sure you saw liim fall. Dead or alive, his companions carry him off, and pursuing monkeys on foot is not a game which man is adapted to play successfully. The most likely way to Becure a specimen is to take a little boat and pull gently along close into the bank, just after sunset, at which time the monkeys frequently collect in the branches of trees overhanging the river; thus one may be shot so that he falls into the water, whence his friends are powerless to resoue him. The great drawback to this method of aquatic stalking is that in the upper river, and especially at the close of the day, the mosquitoes fairly swarm, coming down on one in clouds, and making shooting a matter of great determination and endurance. Certainly it is very easy to say that such and such game may be shot by lying out at night; and this necessitates an amount of exposure against which most Europeans are not proof, to say nothing of the attacks of the above pests, though they may, to a certain extent, be balked by wearing over the hands and face bags made of some light material leno, for instance. Perhaps at somo future date monkey skins may become of commercial value, and when they dc the Gambia will be able to flood the market, nd the ground nut growers will rejoioo. London Field.

The improved scientiticmethod of kissing is to throw the right arm languidly around the fair one's shoulder, tilt her chiu up with the left hand until her nose is pointed at an angle of forty-five degrees or rather until he has the aspect resembling the bowsprit of a clipperbuilt sloop then stoop slowly and graze about her lips in a quiet, subdued sort of way, and tickle her nose with your moustache until she cries''Ouch!" This is scientific kissing; but there is no consolation in it nothing to make a man feel like a couple of galvanic batteries were galloping along his spinal column.

Time has shown that Fahrenheit's arrnngenieut of the thermometer scale, instead it being truly scionf-inc, is a.s arbitrary as the division of the BilnV into verses and chapters, and that those two points (freezing at ;J2 degrees and boiling at 212 degrees) no more represent the real extremes of temperature than from ' Dan to JJoersheba" oppresses the exart extremes of Palestine.

He was probably christened James, but is always Jim now, and, along with the greater part of his Christian name, ho has almost entirely lost his surname. If he had been a few shades lighter, he might have been "Colored Jim," but, black being the absorption of all color, this name would not fit him. So he is known, wherever known at all, as " Nigger Jim." Ho is an expert trapper and fisherman, but, rather singularly, considering these gifts, a poor marksman. For years ho lugged about or earned in his boat an ancient flint-lock Queen's arm, so deadly in its action that it would kill pickerel with only a charge of powder, so Jim said j yet he rarely brought home any spoilsof field or flood but such as were gained by trap or hook. Once, however, he made a very telling shot. It was on an October morning, and he was paddling his light trapping-skiff up the channel of Wonakakatuk as silently as any Indian could, when, as he rounded a bend, he saw through the tali stalks of the wild rice at least a dozen ducks sitting among the lily-pads in the edgo of the channel, not six rods from him. Here was his long-sought opportunity, and Uo sooner did he descry them them than a backward stroke of his paddle stopped the headway of the craft just before she poked her sharp noso in sight of the unsuspecting fowl. Then ho laid the paddle in the boat without the slightest noise, and as silently lifted from her resting-place his old gun whone true inwardness at that moment Consisted of all the powder in her owner's possession and a handful of BB shot, both wadded with a half-pound or so of waspnest. He cautiously thrust her muzzle through the rice stalks, cocked her without a tell-tale click of the ponderous Iock, set the breech-plate firmly against his shoulder, laid his clieek to the stock, took such long and deliberate aim that a spider, setting his snare among the rushes, made fast an end of his web to tho rusty barrel before Jim, shutting both eyes, set his teeth, and with a sturdy pull unhitched. There was a dazzling Hash in the pan as if a kettleful of lard had caught fire, and then the noble weapon belched forth a horizontal column of flame and smoke, kicked Jim aud hia skiff half the boat's length astern, and gave a font that went bellowing down the creek, across the lake, and was tossed back and forth from Split Rock mountain to Shellhouse for five minutes before it lost its voice. When Jim got his eyes open and his wits gathered, he peered through the eddying smoke and saw not a feather raised nor one wounded duck fluttering its lust, but some riding unconcernedly with then heads knocked ofl and some keel up in a quarter-acre of fine splinters. Then up rose two Boston men from among the rushes, and the fire and smoke and uproar and vicious recoil of Jim's gun were as nothing to the vials of wrath which they poured out upon his curly, devoted head. Never was such paddling done on these waters as Jim did till ho put half a mile of WonakakatiuVs channel, seething with his rapid strokes, between himself and the scene of bloodless slaughter. Then he shoved his bo.d into the rushes and skulked ashore. Next day ho offered his gun for Side, giving as a reason that she burned so much powder 110 poor man could afford to keep her. He effected a sale at 1. 50, aud has done no duck-shooting since. He says, with emphatic shakes of the head, "Auy man that'll try to fool ducks with tiiem wooden images 11 steal sheep ! Yes, sir, 'course he will ! Forest and tb'tream The Man-Slayer A man who had committed a dreadful murder fled, aud was pursued by the oincers of the law and the relatives of the murdered victim. On reaching the river Nile he saw a lion on the bank, and, being dreadfully afraid, climbed up a tree. He, however, discovered a serpent in the upper branches of the tree, and, being greatly alarmed, threw himself into the river, where he was carried- off arid eaten by a crocodile. Thus the earth, the air and the water, alike refused shelter to a murderer. The foregoing fable was written fully two thousand years ago and teaches us how true it is that times change, and we change with them; also,, that not every change is for the better. If the murder referred to had been committed now, instead of two thousand years ago, the murderer unless he were a poverty-stricken, friendless wretch, a mere superfluous human quantity instead of fleeing from the sheriff, would have hunted him up and given bail, iu order to be better able to assist his attorneys in procuring continuances from term to term aud tampering with the State's witnesses, stealing or quashing the original indictment, procuring changes of venue, appeals, reversals, ivmandmeuts, and otherwise securing his complete vindication when in the coursi of time or eternity, his trial came off, ii it ever did This" fable teaches us that there was once a period when the murderer was regarded with such abhorrence that even the wild beasts and tho elements refused hira protection. It is comforting to kuow that there was such a period. Galveston News.
