'THE SECRET OUT.

Jorlette will bo on board the 7:30 mail train. Follow him to LlverpooL Will meet you there. Look sharp. CATHCART.

This was the wording of the telegram I received one wet, ugly night last December. Ii was sitting in my little snuggery back of my office, before a blazing grate, with my feet in slippers and my body in a warm dressing room. 1 had a mug of hot punch and a cold mince pie ou the table before mo, along with an uncut novel and a genuine Havana, with which I intended to regale myself presently, And although I had a very strong anxiety to secure Jorlette, it must bo confessed that I •was altogether too comfortably situated to relish going out into the cold that dismally dirty uight.

This telegram was from my chief, who, I might as well say, was a detective, and I had followed that thankless and precarious business for several years. People considered me very successful in working up difficult cases, Tjut I was never quite satisfied with myself. I wonder if any man ever is?

This same Jorletto had given us a great deal of trouble. We had never had so keenly cunning a spirit to cope with. Strategy was matched with strategy, diplomacy with diplomacy and scoresof times, when we were sure of him, he had slipped from under our fingers like a flea and left us wondering how he managed it.

Perhaps it would be well to explain that Pierre Jorletto was a murderer, upon whose head was set a price of £2,000 by the crown. A Frenchman and nobleman by birth, a gentleman by education, he had when very young married a beautiful English girl, with •Whom ho passed two years of unalloyed happiness. At tho end of that time some fearful shadow came between them—none knew of •what nature—and tho inhuman husband stabbed his wife to tho heart! Her confidential maid witnessed tho deed and attempted to save tho life of her mistress, but Jorletto fell upon her with savnge ferocity aud left the two corpses lying together side by side.

These nre the facts as briefly as 1 can state them to you. Of course there were many minor circumstances not worth recording, as

It seemed from this telegram that Jorletto was to be on tho 7:30 train. 1 wondered how Cathcart had got his information, but he had armies of spies constantly working for him, and probably some of them had made tho discovery.

I had only to follow instructions. For the hundredth time 1 took Jorlette's photograph from my pocketbook and examined the features of the murderer. It was a singularly handsome face that I saw—clearly cut, with largo hazel eyes shaded by long, dark lashes, a mouth delicate and sensitive as a woman's, a high, rather narrow forehead, half hidden in clustering curls of auburn hair, a form rather spare, yet well knit, and a hand symmetrical and rounded as a •woman's.

The picture would havo answered splendidly for that of a sentimental, sonnet making poet—but for a murderer it was a dead failure. Nevertheless, somewhero iu tho past, before crime had scathed him. Jorlette had sat for it. 1 changed my slippers for boots and got myself inside my fur overcoat, stuffed a vali with brown paper and blacking brushes, that I might appear a respectable traveler, and, looking at my watch, found 1 had just time to reach tho station.

Tho train stopped ten minutes for refreshments, and, taking tho guard, who was an old friend of mine, sufficiently into my confidence, I was givdu an opportunity of looking through tho carriages previous to the starting of tho train.

It was a full train, but, singularly enough, there was not a red headed man on board of it Jorlette was red headed, and, aside from that circumstance, he had a fuce which I flattered myself 1 could not readily mistake.

As I stood irresolute, and feeling very much as if I had been fooled, there came toward me from tho dining room au indi vidual, tall and spare, with a slouched hat, a white cravat, a huge piece of game pie in his hand— «nd this person had red hairl And dark

I watched liitn closely.' There was a certain dogged, skulking look about him ha "would not meet my eyes, and he walked off

Jorlette had produced another section of pie, and was demolishing it vigorously. Seemingly he enjoyed it. Well, I suppose even a murderer may enjoy eating pie.

Just as the train began to move tho door opened and a young lady came hesitatingly forward. You know what helpless creatures women are ou their feet in a bouncing, swaying railway car, and this young beauty was no exception. She tottered, and would have fallen, but I put out my arm and caught her, at tho same time offering her the unoccupied seat at my side.

She blushed rosily, thank me in the sweetest voice 1 had ever hoard and sank down on

A lovelier face I had never seeu. Tho skin was clear and fair the mouth sweet, sensitive aud a little sad the eyes dark and melting, and tho beautiful dark,' brown hair, which hung over shoulders in the prevailing style, was soft as floss silk, aud rippled like the bosom of a meadow brook wheu it flows over a bed of pebbles.

But so lost was I in contemplating tho charms of this fair creature that I suddenly remembered I was no£ "looking sharp," as Cathcart had ordered me, aud .1 turned to regard my unsuspecting Jorlette.

She had such a horror of railway accidents, sho said, after her Aunt Jane had predicted, before sho left, that something dreadful was going to happen her and then she lift"d her large, melting eyes to my face, and 1 drew the arm down from the seat and let it rest on her shoulder. Meu aro the natural pro-

iangungo was simple and well chosen. Before 1 was hardly aware of it I had told her that I was a detective and that I was making this journey expressly to help capture Jorlette—that notorious Jorletto.

Sho shuddered and drew a little nearer to me. "Dear me!" said sho, nervously, "it must be dangerous business. This Jorletto, I havo heard, is a desperate character. Pray, oh, do pray bo careful.

At Liverpool Mr. Cathcart stepped tho car before any one had left it. He swept his eye over the occupants, and a look of blank dismay settled on his face. "Thunderationl" cried ho "is it possible you have lot him skipf" "He is there," said I, triumphantly, pointing to my red headed fellow passenger. "That!" said Cathcart, in a tone of ineffable contempt. "Alf, you're a fooL That man is tho Rev. John'Peunicut, rector of St. Thomas' church, Cumberwell. How do you do, sir?" shaking hands with tho pie eater.

As for uio, I was looking around for a convenient knot hole to crawl into, but there seemed to be no such thing around loose.

Cathcart turned upon tno fiercely.

A week afterward 1 received a letter, written on pink paper, perfumed, aud elegant generally. 1 transcribe it:

MY DEAJI MR. DATTON: Hereby 1 fulfill my promise of dropping you a line within a week. I am flourishing, and hope you aro also My Aunt Jane's presentiment did not prove prophetic. 1 am on my way to America, where I expect to be elected to congress with tho rest of my stripe. Give my love to old Cathcart. You have no idea how funny it feels to have your lips pressed by a man's lips when you happen to be a man yourself. Sorry you are not to get the two thousand pounds but self preservation is the first law of nature.

Fbithfully yours, PIERRE JORLETTE. Well, the secret was outl My pretty girl was tho infamous murderer himself, and Cathcart and I were dono brown.

Tho guard came up at that moment and substantiated my statement, and Cathcart was obliged to swallow his mortification with as good grace as possible.

Well, ho does not mean lovers at all, he means beaux One may have a beau, a lover, an admirer, an adorer or a comrade, but seldom may combine two of these in one individual, and never all five in any one epoch of her life. For tho beau is a special attribute of girlhood, and seldom develops the exacting tenderness of tho lover, the blind delusions of the admirer, the infatuation of tho adorer or the honest sympathy and helpfulness of the comrade, who, however, does often develop cameraderie into friendship—perhaps after all the most satisfying relationship between man and woman.

WHAT IS A BEAU?

But the beau! The beau 1 What is he? Who is he? What is his origin, habitat, sphero of action?

Let us describe him first by negatives. Ho need not be young—in fact, "an old beau" is a well known character in fiction, drama and real life.

Ho need not be handsome, although he invariably thinks he is. He need not bo intellectual or learned—in fact, I never knew a beau who was either, although I have known some men of whom other men said: "Ho isn't half such a fool as he looks."

He need not be brave, for nobody expects courage or leadership from him. Nor need he be a business man, for he is usually found spending the money his father or somebody else has accumulated for him. In fact, the boau reduced to poverty and real work is the I most forlorn of objects, reminding one of a performing canary bird or an industrious flea, or a poor, little trained poodle, or any other helpless and harmless little animal coerced into unnatural labor and foreign pursuits.

Not that I mean to speak severely of the beau, for I don't in fact, 1 like him and value him and should be really sorry to miss him out of the world, but he has his limitations, poor dear, like the rest of us, and one hates to see him pushed up to tho wall that defines those limits.

Moreover, there is a positive as well as a negative formula in tho recipe for a beau. Ho must be good natured, and always ready, if not with a sinile at least with a simper ho

Making lJiihebulls.

The baseball of today, as produced at Natick, iu this state, is made by hand, writes a Boston correspondent. Tho laborers employed in the work aro nearly all girls. The spherical core, of tho very best rubber, is first carefully wrapped with a given amount of tho most costly yarn. When tho ball was thus grown to about two-thirds of the size it is to be, a leather cover is stitched on with a needle and waxed thread. This cover lias the effect of keeping the ball compact and in shape, and of regulating its elasticity. Then more yarn is wound upon it, uutil it is found to turn the scales at precisely tho right point. Finally the outer cover of horseliide is sewn on and tho ball, after being stamped and again weighed, to make sure that it is just five ounces, is wrapped in tinfoil, put into a box with five more liko it and declared ready for sale. The cover, us an examination of a baseball will show you, is stamped out of the leather in but two curiously shaped pieces, which, sewn on tho ball, together actually cover it. This device was not invented until 1B65. Tho cheaper grades of baseballs are made of poorer yarn and rubber scraps, the latter pressed into a pulp by powerful machinery. Tho less expensive the ball, the lees yarn and more scraps will be used in its i-.ian-ufacture—until, when you get to tho "Small Boy's Own," price fivo cents, there is noth ing to bo found inside the flimsy cover but melted remains of rubber shoes.

•^oat Women of Cliiiiu.

I visited prisons, temples, pagodas, mills, shops, duck hatchings and everything that was of interest. To seo tho ducks I hi ret 1 a boat, managed by three women, and spent over three hours on tho river. I havo had occasion to remark everywhere in my travels the decent behavior of women. Here wore threo women who were born on a boat and whose life is spent oil one, and yet they had as much decency aud natural modesty as if they had received a Sunday school education. A flue strong girl of 10 sat on the deck of the bow vigorously pulling her oar in front of me and smiling through a beautiful set of teeth. Sho wore wido trousers under a kind of sack or short gown her feet were bare. Every time a breath of air ruffled her sack or trousers sho instinctively pulled them down just as a well bred American girl would her frock, though there were not any more exposure than a well formed ankle. Most of tho large junks, I learned, had women captains.—Canton Cor. Washington Post.

An Irresistible Halt for Rat*. An interesting, not to say valuable, discovery has been made by Capt. Weedin, in charge of tho animals at tho Zoo. Tho building is infested by rats, aud how to got rid of them has long been a perplexing question. Traps were used, but nothing would tempt tho rodent to enter. In a store room drawer was placed a quantity of sunflower seeds, used as a food for some of the birds. Into this drawer the rats gnawed their way, a fact which led tho captain to experiment with them for the bait iu the traps. The result was that tho rats can't be kept out. A trap which appears crowded with six or eight rats is found some mornings to hold fifteen. They are turned into cages containing weasles and minks. Tho latter will kill a rat absolutely almost before ono can seo it, so rapid are its movements. Tho weasels aro a trifle slower, but none of tho rats escape them.—Washington Cor. Cincinnati Commercial.

Let me implore all my female friends to bo more precise in their classification of their malo acquaintance, for it is really a glief to How a Cable Message Is Received, hear a tender, romantic, Browningesquo adorer spoken of as tho "beau" of her idol, or to havo one's solid, practical, congenial comrade dubbed by so trifling a name, or to in-

sult tho swoet illusions and lofty ideals of a pair of lovers by calling Romeo tho beau of Juliet. Mercutio was a beau, if you plcsaso, and died with a jest upon his lips, but ono cannot imagine him in Romeo's place. No, my doar girls, don't bo slipshod in your nomenclature and although you may lo surrounded with beaus, dou't fancy them lovers, or even sincere admirers, for your true beau admires nobody very mucli except himself, although a part of his profession is to lussumo tho part of an admirer, not to you only but to the other dear five hundred toward whom ho will flutter in tho courso of an evening.

Don't tell him that you don't beliovo a word he sttys, and dou't try to get upon solid ground with him and find out how far ho is really sincere, for ho does not know himself, and it is bad taste and bad policy to force any man to a confession of ignorance, even to himself. Nor can wo break butterflies on the wheel, or build houses of soap bubbles so be content to take the beau as a beau, and value him for his real uses and merits, which are not to be despised.—Mrs. Frank Leslie in Now York Herald.

Only tho feeblest currents should bo used on submarine lines, since heavy pulses which could bo employed with impunity on land lines, if they did not soon destroy tho cablo covering, would at least tend to develop faults which otherwise might long remain latent. Defects in cablo covering that otherwise may not lead to harm admit moisture, and hence, under tho uction of a strong current, oxides aro quickly formed, destroying insulation. Tho necessary use in oceau telegraphy of tho lightest currents has led to tho development of a class of recording instruments remarkable for delicacy of action —notably tho siphon recorder, which indicates the electric impulses by a wavy ink line on a tape, and tho reflecting galvanometer, which causes a spot of light to movo from right to left in a darkened room With these recorders and thirty cells of battery, messages sent across the Atlantic aro telegraphically reproduced in ink at tho rate of from twenty to twenty-five words a minute, each way, the cablo being duplexed. But for electrostatic induction a single cell of battery would suffice for transmission from tho earth to the moon, if those bodies could be connected by a wire of tho size used in ocoan cables.—
