Lucy Stone complains that the law does not give t, man's wife more property. But th ) law, in some cases, is very good to t ie wife. For instance, a

man may say to his wife: I will be just X will take half tho property, and yon amy take the other half," The wife takes her half, spends it on seal eacques, spring bonnets, etc, and presently has nothing left Then the law says that, although the woman has wasted the money that would have supported her through life, her husband must take his money and pay it out that she may have food and clothing and continue to -paralyze all other females in the matter of dress. Louisville Courier-Journal. A certain minister of the Kirk of Scotland, now deceased, had prepared with great care a series of discourses on the parable of the ten virgins, and had made use of them rather oftener than some of his brethren thought he should. On the evening of a communion Sabbath, when assisting a brother clergyman in the same presbytery, he delivered one of his series, which his friend had heard more than once. When the services were over and the two ministers , were on their way home to the manse, the one said to the other: "Man, John, XreaUy think you should gie up the virgins; ye're fairly inakm'anld maids of them I" Synp or Figs, Pwdaeed from the laxative and nutritions Jatee or California figs, combined with th atedielnai virtue ot phmts known to be moat beneficial to the human system, acta gently oa the kidneys, liver and bowels, (foctnslly cleansing the system, dispelling eolda and headaches, and curing habitual snnatlpaUoa.

CHAPTER XXO. .OK a fow days Ethel Vas confined to her room-Sod bed. Tho fearful excitouiont She had undergone df late, as well as tho exposure to tho damp and stormy night air, had produced con stant headache and foverlshncss. But tho kind, motherly caro bestowed upon her by good Mrs. Clum, together with tho judicious remedies of her skillful physician, at length restored hei usual activity. It was event for Dr. Jsifenstein wh saw bor able to meet him in tho sitting-room, for ho had felt very anxious lest a long fever -fb'ould follow, the consequences of which could not be foretold. nnen, tnerotoro, an aangor was over. he felt strangely light-hearted and gay. 'Dr. Eifcustein, said his visitor after bJslhjtalntatton had passed, together with ilie joking remarks that followed "I m 1st now havo a little serious advice, and naturally come to you for it Of course you are aware that I must ItosasBhere?" -my acar miss movcrgaii, nave wo been so unfortunato .as to offend In any way that you cannot abide with us awhila?" ho interrupted, tcasingly. JNow, Doctor, you Know uottorl in deed, I '"am grateful for all your kind ness, bnfJ must necessarily obtain some situation in order to support myself; for you must know I am very independent tn my .feelings, and, toercroro, to bo happy.'must have plenty to do," Is it hot something to cbeor mi a for lorn old bacholor's home by your smiles?" 'It might bo a pleasant pastime, bat it certainly cannot be a life work. Do you know of any person who needs a governess or companion?'' "Yes; since you really ask me so di rectly, I cannot deny having seen that advertisement in tho Times to-day." As tbe Doctor spoke he took from the table near a copy of the paper to itch he had referred and handed it to Intimt to an advertisement "lor a 'lady governess and companion for irl tif fourteen -an invalid." The application was to be made at Cas tle Cairn, tho country home ot the Dnch? ess of Westmoreland. "The very thing!" exclaimed Ethel, as sho finished reading it "I must cer tainly see to lb is at ones." "Do- not discompose yourself. 1 am attending Lady Claire Linwood, tho Invalla referred to, and, as I am going there In a short time, I will apply for tho position in your behalf, II you wish." "i should be glad to have you; I am sure I can perform the duties required to their satisfaction." ' " Asking a few questions as to tho quali fications she could specify, Dr. 'Elfenstoln at onco proceeded to seek an interview with bor grace tho Duchess, and in a short time all was satisfactorily arranged, and tho following week Ethel was to become an inmate or tins grand tsaatle... Thither hor trunks wore carried, after eomo little difBculy In getting them from tho Hall. The Saturday boforo sho loft tho "cot tage" waa truly a delightful one. The day had been very hot and sultry, but a cooling breeze had made tho long twilight very enloyable, so much so, thatEthel had left tho parlor and closeness indoors to sit upon tho covorcd porch that led into the house from the small garden in front Dr. uifensteln, happening to be at lois-. urn for that evening, had also sought its refreshing pleasures.

After chatting pleasantly, for a Tew moments, they wero interrupted by observing a 'singular-looking individual open tho gate and advance towards them. Ho was a man about 65 years of aw, tall, but with a slight stoop to his shoulders, slender and willowy in form. His face was lather notable for its good looks, a fine piercing black eye, placid features, and pensive smile, giving it a winning rather than a ropuisive appearance. His beara was full, and pore white, reaching nearly to his waist while long curls of.J"anowy hair fell over his shoulders. His costume was rather on a clerical order, close vest and coat the frock of which reached to his knees, while a soft felt hat rested upon bis head. In ono hand he hold a black loathor wallet, In the other a stout walking cano. Advancing to the steps, he said languidly: "May I sit on this stoop ono iromont? I feel weary aftor a very long walk. Assent being given, ho laid down his cane, but rested the wallot ou his knees; then, rowovlag his hat, ho wiped tho perspiration front hit high white brow. I am, sir, ft olnrgyjiiMi without a

charga. My namo Is Edwin 0. Stiles, and I am at present ougaged in obtain

ing subscriptions to several periodicals and roiigious works. -" "Perhaps I could onlist your sympathy 1n my endeavors; If fo, I would ba pleased to havo your namo as a subscriber to this work." Drawing a handsomoly bound book from his pocket, ho offored It to tho DocMr Tor examination. happened to bo a work ho was about ng, having heard It hltrhly rocomiflbndcd, so Earlo ploasod tho old man by oraormg a copy. After receiving the desired information tho stranger arofo, and bidding them good ovoning passed onward. "Rather a singular-looking psrson," remarked Ethol, following him with hor eyes, until ho disappeared from sight. "That snow-whito hair oud beard make Itim exceedingly vonorablo In appearanro, but I should not think him very old." "About sixty-five or six only, I should judgo from his skin. But his palo face shows that his health most bo poor." "Do you think him really a clergyman?" "No ono seems to know what to think of him. I have heard the Inhabitants of tho town speaking of him m my times lately. All agroo ho must bo a very eccentric character. Did you nolico tho wallet ho had In his hand? It seems that he clings to it night and day. He has been going from houso to houso sinco he came to tho village, obtaining subscriptions to his books and papers, and, being very poor apparently, aks for his meals, and two or three tim;s has asked for a night's lodging. Being evidently an educated man and a clergyman, in poverty and loneliness, It has boon given, but evorywhoro his mysterious wallet has occasioned many remarks and conjectures as to its contents. If a meal is granted he seems grateful, and leaving his hat and cano in the hail takes his wallet to tho dining-room and keeps It wltbin reach of his hand while eating. Ho always asks a blessing over his food, and if ho stays all night Insists upon reading the Bible and praying with the family boforo ho retires. "He prays with the wallet in his hand! "His prayers, say thoso who havo heard him, are well-worded and really eloquent "Several have asked where he resides, and if ho has a family. "His reply invariably Is, 'that Is a painful subject and I cannot answer.' "So no ono knows a thing about him, except that he calls himself Rev. Edwin u stiles." "How strange!" returned Ethel, as sho heard tho story. "Poor maul Perhaps his brain is a little unsettled. " 'The villages seem to think so. Many of tho young mon havo tried to induce him to drop his wallet by sundry tricks. They havo suddoniy frightened him on tbe highway, have stolen tn While He has boon oatlng, and endeavored slyly to pick it away, but they found him ever on the alert so were disappointed. "This morning I was at the village inn, and thero laughed with tho rest over tho failure of their last joke. It seems ho remained over night at Mr. Tracy's, who has a son full to the brim of mischief. So aftor tho old man retired for tho night, wallet In hand, Bcuben stolo out to acquaint a fellow-plotter with the fact that 'old Stiles,' as they call him, was at tholr house, and to ask his assistance in ferreting out the mystery of the wallet "it was agreed that one should go to his door about midnight calling 'lire, lire!' This would naturally frighton him, and causo forgotfulness; therefore, they expected he would run out to see whore tho firo was, leaving tho treasure; then the other was to dart into his room, seizo tho wallet, open it, and so discover the nature of Its contents. Tho whole joko turned on themselves, however, whon with tho first call of liro tho door opened, and old Stiles appeared, wallot in hand!" Ethel laughed merrily over the joko, and then other subjocts wore introduced, and the eccentric visitor was forgotten. CHAPTER XXIII. ETHEL'S Saw UOXE. .,' The following Monday, as Ethol Kevorgal! was preparing to leavo tho "cottage" for tho "cattle," Mrs. Clum told her, laughingly, of tho last joko of tho season. Old Stiles, It seems, had gono from Dr Elfensteln'8 door to the Manse on Saturday evening, and had been allowed to remain over the Sabbath. On rising from tho breakfast-table on Sunday ho had asked tho hour for church service Being told half-past ton, ho left tho house about ten In order to go to tho church. A fow ralnntos before church tinio the pastor walked np the aisle, and, boore ascending tho pulpit stops, happened to raise his eyes, and there, to his astonishment In his own accustomed place sat old Stiles, with tho mysterious wallet on his knee. Hesitating a moment in order to think how ho could get the half-crazy creature from the sacred place, Mr. Lee opened a pew door at tho sido of tho pulpit and, going in, sat down In order to see if the man would not take the hint and descend. But, to his dismay, tho stratagem did not work. Old Stiles sat still. Soon tho boll stopped tolling, the organ commenced the solemn voluntary, while tho coiiKrosatioii sat caziiid from pastor to pulpit with Its straugo oecu- ' pint in spocchloas wonder. i After a while the volnniary ended, I and Mr. Leo arose in despair to pass into his placo, wh -n, to his titter astonishment up Kot old Stiles, and, calmly laying tho wallet on the desk before him, proceeded to givo out a hymn. . At this unlooked-for procedure Hov. Mr. Loo sauk back in tho pow, and concluded to soo what tho man really intended to do. He could not certainly expect to go through the whole service without his permission. But tho worthy pastor was mistaken. Tho man did inteud It; and not only that but carried out the intention carried it out too, to the delight and satisfaction of all present. Never had a more thrilling and eloquent sormon been delivered in that grand o!d church than foil upon their astonished ears from the lips of Kov. Edwin C. Stiles, tho haIf,-crazod .possessor 6f tne mysterious wallet. Aftor having filled his breathless audience with wonder and surprise the stranse being concluded tho exorcises bv an appropriate prayer, then a parting 1 bflniulIeMnn. aftor which he seized his-! wallet bat and cano, and "walkod ddw j and out" without speaking a waraor looking to the right or loft "Did he not return to the Mauso?" - "Tin. lie lust walked away, and haa "not been soon since in tho neighborhood; "Won," langnca tiiiici, "lie ccriamiy. is the oldest human boing I ever camera contact with. Do you think he has toft tho village forever?" .' . "No ono knows; bo may return at any moment, or ho may not It is just as.hjj takes tho freak, I presume." ' ' Bidding tho kind woman farewell,- and thanking her warmly for her protecting care, she ran down the path as tho c'oroneted coach of her grace the Duchess pf Westmoreland drew up to tho door jn order to carry hor to her now home, and she waa soon entering the winding walks that lod to the castle. She almost forgot the sadness of hpr lonely lot as hor eager, eyes drank In the splendor of tho grounds through which they wore advancing. Everything that could charm the senses was here found In luxuriant perfection. Grand old trees, exquisite nooks of rarest beauty, miniature lakes, profusions of sweet exotics, rustle bowers. Ivywreathed labyrinths for quiet rest and reflection, wore on either hand, while the castle itself was a perfect monument of architectural magnificence. Pillars, turrets, domes and wings wore all that rron.t wealth and tho most cultured taste

! could make thorn. ! Tho Duchess was a lady of remarkable beauty and grace still, although she had passed her seventieth birthday. Her husband, Cbarlea Worthlngton. . f.n$ fmlfaqf Wtmoreland a jtn,

austere man, had died suddenly one year boforo; thoroforo, leaving t ho gayotles of tho metropolis, sho had retired to Castlo Calm, In ordor to spend tho first year Of widowhood amid its beautiful seoluslon. To this retreat sho had brought hor

granddaughter, Lady Claim Linwood, onlv child of hor dauuhtor Bortha, who. aftor marrying poor of tho realm, the Marquis of Linwood, had soon followed hor husband to tho tomb, leaving tha little ono to tho fond caro of the Duchess. This child, then, constituted tho whole family now at Castlo Cairn, for hor son Edward, who sinco tho doath of his father was the rightful Duko ot Westmoreland, was away from his home and had been for yoars, travoling through both continents. His had boon a roving disposition. Bestless and fond of change, rich and with out tie s, as ho had evidently proferred a single life, novor having presented his parents with a daughter-in-law, he had been at liberty to givo up his timo to tho amusement ho liked best on earth, traveling. Now, howover, that his father had passod away, it was expected that he would roturn in a few weeks to fill the honors bio station he was henceforth to occupy as Edward, clevonth Duko ot Westmoreland. It was in this home ot almost regal magnlflcenco that onr friend Ethel Nevcrgall was received us governess and companion. She found hor young charge an ami able and affectionate girl, whoso lame ness and delicate health caused her to prefer tho quiet of this lovely home to tho rush aud gayoty of tho city. In hor Ethel soon found some ono to lovo, and before she had boon with her a week sho saw that her affection was fully returned. Very grateful, then, to God was she for this picasant occupation, and this lovely shelter in which to stay until the time should come whon she was to open tho package and dlscovor tho secret of hor birth and the placo whore awaited her the small competence that her aunt assured her would bo sufficient for hor maintenance the rest of hor life. to bb contikued, Tho Bareback Rids. James Robinson, the veteran bare back rider, whose early triumphs belong away back in the childhood of men now grizzly with years, is to be seen almost every day at Broadway and Twentyeighth street, iie is a small, wiry man, with thin, dark features, a little, black mustache and the clearest of blue-gray eyes. Looking at him it is difficult to reconcile his almost youthful appearance with the fact that he began his career as a rider as long ago as 40, This was almost fifty years ago, says the New York World. Jim, as his intimates call him, was a boj then, of course. He waa apprenticed in that year to onn U03sen, an oiu-ume circus man. In that dayriders used tho pad or pillion, and boys were taught the art in a different manner from what thev are now. The "mechanic," by which uoviqes are attached to a revolving beam, a rope from the beam to a stoat belt around the waist supporting them as the horse makes the cir1 . . 1 . ii. , ouk 01 mo ring, was uui uwu auuwu. Boys or girls who were ambitious to ride in spangles wore a belt to which a cord was fastened which passed through a nng 111 the pillion ana thence to the hands of the ring master, who when he saw a beginner losing his balance pulled the cord and thus drow the rider tothe horse, preventing a fall. Jt was this way Jim llobinson learned to ride in a style and with a recklessness which soon won him the title of champion bareback rider of theworld. Uobinson was the first man to "out out" tho bareback rido and make it a speoialty. This was in 1847. Previous to that time he, like all others, rode the pod act. After 1847 he did all his riding bareback, and went to Europe in the early '50'b, and created a great sensation. He was acknowledged tbe greatest equestrian the world had known. "I have been credited," said Mr. Uobinson to a World reporter, "with having been the first man to turn a somersault on a horse's back, but thi is not so. The first somersault rider was Johnny Glenroy, who did the first flip-flap in 1847. Glenroy is still alive, aged 62, years, aud is clerk at the Morameo House, Boston. I did the first forward somersault on a horse in 1848. People have an idea that it i3 harder than the back somersault, but it is really easier. The three and four ring oirouses, which make it necessary to employ an army of cheap performers, have detraoted from tho importance of the riding act, and there are not many great riders nowadays. Circus owners don't want to pay the price for a great rider. They get a man to do a jockey act for $50 or $75 a week aud they are satisfied. I never ride for anybody for less than $350 a week." Bobjnson's two boys are riders, though one of them, Clarence, has retired from tho ring and is in commercial business in Kansas City. Old-timers will remember Robinson and his two boys, one on his head, the other in flying attitude, perched on the father's thigh, as they appeared in their great riding aot away back in I860. He was then in the zenith of his fame. Bobinson baa saved a great deal of money, And is stilt tbe best bareback rider in the profession.
