CNDEK THE MIDNIGHT LAMP. Tiasley's Magazine. I am a doctor, a busy protessional man, whose time U money; whenever, therefore, I can save it, I do. Many and many a night, have I parsed in the trnin, counting the hour thui joined as a miner does his gold. Upon this poin, unfortunately, my little wife and I do no agree; and it 19, I think, the only point upon which we do not.

The train was just oil' as I sprang in, and tbo shock of the start landed me in my seat. Being of slow, placid nature, I was in no hurry to recover from the shock; and we were fairly off, speeding away as only an English express can speed, before I lo.ked round. I had not the carriage to myself, as I had at first supposed; a lady occupied the further end; aid at the first glance, spite of tne aim Hgnt ana the lact of her veil being down, I saw that her eye?, unnaturally large and intense in their expression, were fixed upon me. I at all times prefer a carriage to myself, and if a companion I must have, let it be a gentleman, not a lady; but there was no help for it; the lady was there, and moreover she was looking at me. 'So she may." I said to myself; "that shall not pre vent my making myself as comfortable us circumstances will allow." Slowly and de liberately, therefore, I removed my hat, substituting lor it a cloth cap, which 1 drew well down over my ears; then I folded my arms, and composed myself t-; sleep. But in vain; the eyes of my fellow-jpasssenger haunted me; 1 saw them äs distinctly as if my own were open. Was she watching me still? Involuntarily I locked ap and round, and my look met ners, full, burning, intense, with far more of meaning in it than I could at all fathom. It was getting decidely unpleasant, and I was growing decidedly uncomfortable; try as I might, I could not keep my eyes closed: hers were on me, and meet them I must. In her attitude, too, as well as in her look, there was something strange and mysterious. Il'iddled up in the corner, she seemed to be holding eomething close pressed to her, beneath the long loose mourning cape, bending low over it in a crouching posture. Once or twice, her eyes still fixed upon mine, I saw her shiver; but for that slight convulsive movement she sat perfectly still and motionless. Was she coll? I offered her my plaid, rglad of an opportunity to break the ominous silence. If she would but speak, make some commonplace remark, the spell might be ibroken. ''I am not cold.'' .A commonplace remark enough, but the apb.l wa3 not broken. The mystery that lay in her eyea lay also in her voice. What should 1 try next? I looked at my w&tca 11:30; our train speeding at a. furious rate, no chance of a stoopage for some tir&e to come, and the full wide-open gaze of my motionless companion not lor one moment removed from my face. It was unpleasant eertainly. If I had changed my position, faced the window instead of her, she must remova her eyes from my face at last. But there was a sort of fascination about her and her look, which I preferred meeting to shirking, knowing it was on me all the time. There was nothing for it, but to give up all hope of sleep, and make the best of my position and companion, whom I now observed more closely. That she was a lad y the .could be but little doubt; there was that in her dress and appuarauce mat vvaa uiiuiiMUhauic. jLiiai euo was pretty, there could be little doubt either; ' those great dark, intensely dark eyes, the . thick coils of warm burnished hair, the small pale features, seen dimly behind the veil; yes, she was young, pretty, a lady, and in trouble. So far I got, but no further. How came she to be traveling alone at thnt time of night, and with that look on her face? " What could it be that she wa3 holding pressed so closely to her, and yet so care- '. fully kept out of sight? From the size and 1 uncertain outline, I should have guessed it : to be a child; but, then, there was not the '. faintest motion, nor could she have held even a sleeping infant long in that position. jL think that something of curiosity must have been betrayed in my look, for her own darkened and deepened into a perfect agony ot doubt and fear. Ashamed, I withdrew my gaze at once and drawing out my note-book, was about to make a memorandum, when, with a sudden forward movement, she fell at my feet, arresting my hand by the agonized grasp of her own, its burning contact sending through me a painful thrill. 'Don't betray me! Don't give me up to him! Ü don't! I am so frightened!" It was but a whisper, breathed out rather 1 . : . u .. 1 j i 1 u man sjjukcu, jet. ib buuuuuicu uruugu me . like a cry. 'I can not always hide it! I can not alway 3 bear it about with me; it breaks my a . a - .- heart, ana 1 am so urea. And lettine1 the hand which still held, pressed closely to her, the mysterious burden that had so raised my curiosity drop heavily to her side, there lay at her feet and mine a ' little dead baby, a tiny creature evidently :not many weeks old." Then the woman threw up her veil, and, withdrawing her eyes for the first time from mine, cla-ped her hands before her, her figure thrown slightly back, and looked down upon it. A pretty picture: the pcor young mother, with her pale child's face an J deep mourning dress; tie wee baby, gleaming so white in its death and baby robe against the heavy crape skirt on which it lay a pretty fncture certainly for a railway carriage, and ighted by its din: midnight lamp. "Dead!'' was my involuntary exclamation. She stretched her clasped hands downward toward it with a despairing gesture speaking with low, wild, rapid utterance. 'It was not his look that killed it, but my love. He hated it, my baby, iny first-born; for all the love I cave him,"he hated it; and that his look might not kill it, I held it in my arms, so close, so close, till it was dead. Ob, my baby, my baby!" The outstretched hands had reached it now, and raised it from the floor to the seat, folding it around until thp inclosing arms and the down-bent face hid it once more out of J&bt. Was ever luckless traveler more awk-

Mrs. Merton often asolds me for my blunt, straightforward speeehes; but tbea she has suei a pretty way of beating about the bush, which it would bo as absurd for me to

Imitate as it was for the ass to mimic the tricks of his master's lapdg. I must go straight to the point as soon as ever I see it. I did eo now. "How come you to be traveling alonp, and with a dead child? Are you going home?'' The question seemed to rouse her once more to a perfect frenzy of fear. She turned to me as b3fore, clinging to my hands with small hot fingers, and the old heart-broken cry: "Don't betray me; don't give me up to him! II13 look would have killed my baby; it would kill me if I had to meet it. She is sale, for I killed her, and she is dead; and he hates me, and I have no home no home?" I was in a perfect maze of doubt. Could the pretty soft young creature at my feet be indeed a murderess? and could it be her husband of whom she seemed in euch abject terror? My blood boiled; I felt ready to defend her against a dozen husbands; but how? It was midnight now; we could not be far A" W a a a. a a irom ijonaon; ine guara might De popping his head in at any moment. I jumped to a sudden conclusion. "Were you going to any friend in London?" "I know nobody in London. "The poor little thing is cither mad or her husband is a brute, ' was my mental excla mation. "Then you must come home with me to my wife; she will see after you." An npward glance 01 wild, agonized suppucaiion: "She won't betray me, or take baby irom me I ' And once more the weo dead I thing was lifted up into the arms that eemed almost too frail to hold it. and hid den away beneath the long mourning-cape. I took her home. Mary received her with a broad look of amaze that made me smile, but that found no expression in words. When, taking her aside. 1 told her au I knew, she wrung her hands in sheer sym pathizing pity. "Jlurdered her own baby.her first-born !Oh how sad, how dreadful! And involuntarily she glanced toward the door that hid from us our own little ones, safely cradled and a?leep. Then she went back to our strange guest, who sat huddled up in my own big easy-chair, the dead baby still at her bosom. "I must get her to bed," said Mary, with a quick determined nod; and she really did contrivo to do so by soft, tender, cooing words, and solemn assurances of safety for herself and baby, whom she kissed and cried over, and considered as she might some living object cf solicitude, much to the little mother's comfort. "And you won't betray me; and he won't come and take her from me, or hurt us with his angry look? Oh, dear, how nice it is to lie down I I am so tired, and baby is so cold; but I think I can sleep now a little and forget," She was half asleep already; the heavy lid3 had dropped together, the small pale face had dropped downward upon the little downy head that lay against her bosom. "Her husband must be sent for " I said resolutely when we found ourselves once more alone; and I glanced at an envelope I had taken from the stranger's pocket: Mrs. Tremayxe, Grantely Lodge, Grantley. Mary stared at me aghast. 'Her husband, who hates her, and would have killed her babyl O John, you would not be so cruel! Sae seems so frightened of him, poor little thing! lou may oe sure be is some horrid wicked tyrant. And if she really killed her baby oh, dear, bow sad it isl "Whatever will become of her!" "But, my dear, if she has a husband or friends we must restore her to them . Why, she is l.tile more than a child! It's very strange, very, and sad: but the mvsterv must oe cleared and the babv buried." Mary still pronounced me cruel and un feeling beyond anything she could have conceived. ''Of course her husband i3 a madman, who will murder her as soon as he gets her into his hands. You know, John, that husbands are always murdering their wives." "Middle-aged wives, dear, or elderly, whose lives are heavily insured. I shall telegraph at once." Then her death will be at your door, sir mind that!" and too indignant to waste upon me more words, away went Mary to take a last peep a; our own sleeping babes, at the dead baby about which there was so much mystery, and the poor young mother whom she had doomed to a violent death. She was still bending over her, and had called me up to the bedside to notice the ex traordinarv length of the lashes, and the beauty of the face in repose, when we were staitled by a knock at the front door. "It s the husband. I know it is. O John, don't betray her, don't give her up; you wouldn't be so cruel." "Nonsense, child; watch by her till I re turn. If she awakes say nothing about " "Her husband. As if I should!" Our household having long since retired. long indeed before mv return, 1 myself opened the door. 1 he street lamp lighted dimly two figures; one tall, stout, and muffled. "Mr. Merton?" I answered in the affirmative. 'You have kindly given shelter to a dv?" "Just so." The speaker nodded to his companion, who touched his hat and vanished. ' The other stranger had now jntered the hall, and grasped my hand. "Mr. Tremayne?" I asked hesitatingly, "Captain Tremayne. How is she.1' "Asleep, under my wife's care; sleeping as peacefully as a child." "Thank God! So young at such an hour in such a state" I saw a long shudder run through the tall powerful frame. "And the child?" he added, after a pause, in a horror-stricken-whisper. "She had it with her?" I hardly knew what to answer; but he had thrown oft his heavy ulster and traveling cap, and now stood before me as handsome and pleasant and honest-looking a young fellow as I ever saw, and my heart warmed to him. lie was no assassin, or ruffian, or cowardly bully, whatever Mary might say. The shadow of a great horror that lay in the blue mellow eyes had been laid there by terror, not crime. "The child is dead." I said softly. "It died two days ago, died suddenly in convulsions in her arms, and the shock turned her brain. She was doing so well, poor little thing; but afterward she grew delirious, and in her ravings she accused herself and me. I could do nothing; she would not have me near her, but beat me off with her hands, as she couldn't bear the sight of me. And I was so fond of her and she of me." Here the man broke down. He walked to the window, then turned and asked abruptly: "May I go to her?" I thought of Mary and hesitated. "She is sleeping so peacefully just now; and if she awoke suddenly and saw you " "She shall not see me," he broke in eagerly; "I will be so quiet, but I must see her. 1 nursed her through a long illness a year ago, and she would have no one near her but me; and now " Under the heavy military mustache I saw his lip quiver; he paused, then added: "I must go to her!" not in command, but in yearning appeal, both in voice ana eyes. "Will you wait here a minute? I will see whether she still sleeps." She still slept, the heavy peaceful sleep of a tired child, Mary keeping a stern watch

and guard over her. X beckoned her out of the room. "Well," with fretful, impatient et gerness. "You have seen him? What is he like? Is he horrid?" "Judge for yourself; he is iky the diningroom. He says he must see her ho must come in." "That he shan't, the cruel wretch, or it shall be over my prostrato body!" tragically. "Well, go and tell him so." "I will!" And away, nothing daunted,

went Mary. I smiled. "She will no more resist the pleading of those blue handsome eyes than did her husband. He will win her ovr with a look." I was right; she soon returned, and not alone. "He will be very quiet, and she need not see him. I though it would bo better;" all this apologetically. He crossed the room as noiselessly 03 a woman, stooped over the bed in silence, then sat down beside it. Mary shaded the lamp so that the room waa in twilight, and so we all three sat down to wait. For more than an hour we waited, then Mary stole out. Captain Tremayne looked up as the door opened and closed; then, with a quick sigh, laid the brovrn curly head down upon the pillow as close as possible to that of the poor young wife without touching it, and his hand moyed up toward hers were it lay upon the coverlet, bat without touching that either for fear of awakening or disturbing her. It was not until the first gray streaks of daylight were struggling in through the window, beside which I sat, that there wa3 a slight stir; sho was awakening at last, "flugh!"she breathed dreamily at first, then urgently "Hugh!" "Yes, dear." She turned her face toward his whero it lay beside her. She was -only partially awake as yet, her eyes were still closed; but the hand on the coverlet crept up softly toward him, fluttered over his face, retted one moment caressingly on the brown curls, then, with a long contented sigh, her arm stole around his neck. 'Husband, kiss mel" "His presence has saved her," was my mental comment; "therefls nothing now to fear;" and, unnoticed I left the room'. Chilled and cramped with the long sitting after the night's journey, I was not sorry to find the sitting room bright with lamp and firelight, the kettle singing on the hob, breakfast as comfortabty laid out for two as if the hour had been 9 instead of Ü, and Mrs. Merton as neat and fresh and trim as if that midnight tragedy had been all a dream. Let cavilUts sneer as they may, there is nothing for a man like a wif if sbo bo a good one. I myself may have had my doubts on the subject wives are but women aftor all, and must therefore be trying at times, even the best of them. But I certainly had no doubts whatever as I stretched out my feet to the blaze, and resigned myself cheerfully to being petted and waited on. "Well?" questioned Mrs. Merton, when my creatttre comfort had all been duly attended to, and not before. I told her how matters stood; sho was delighted. "And so they are fond of each otl.er. after all; and his being unkind to her and her poor little baby was only a delusion II w dreadful! How delightful, I mean! IVor fellow so young and handsome and nice! felt so sorry for him.v "He must have traveled down in the same train as she did." "Oh, no; he told me all about it. lie had been summoned up to town on business, and left home yesterday morning. In the evening the nurse left her, as she thought, asleep, to fetch something from the kitchen." "Have a gossip there, you mean.'' "John," solemnly, ''you don't like nurse?. you know you don't!" "My dear, lam a married man, and more over an M. D. A well-balanced mind must hate somebody or some class of bodies; and, as a rule, medical men hate nurses.'"Nonsense, John! Well, Mrs. Tremayne got away while the nurse was down stairs, and, being traced to the station, where she had taken a ticket to London, Captain Tremayne was telegraphed to, and wa3 stopped as he got into the train on his way home. Some one must have seen you leave the station." "As he came to look for her here, somebody must have brought him; two came to h 1 door." "It will be all right now that he ha3 found her, and is fond of her; she will get quite well, and he will enly have to comtort her for the loss ot her poor little baby." I wipe my pen, blot the MSS., and rise. My story is done, and as it i3 the first, sc will it probably be the last of which I shall be guilty. Mrs. Merton looks up from the glove she is mending. "The story done? Why all you have written is only tho beginning of the end! You could not surely have the heart to break off in that unsatisfactory manner. Not a word about Captain Tremayne's gratitude, or the hamper they sent us at Christmas, or the birth of their little son last year, and the pretty way in which she coaxed you to be god-father, though her uncle, tho Duke was only waiting to bo asked; or how she insisted upon our bringing baby and Johnny and Freddy, and how baby" But I seized my hat and gloves.

In a certain minister's family the conversation turred upon the character of the baby.. Why was the baby so naughty? The brother, who had reached the age of twelve, and was studying the steam engine in his intervals of catechism, gave vent to his orthodoxy in the following suggestive inquiry: "Papa, as we all inherit the sin of Adam, and the baby is such a little fellow, is there not a greater pressure of sin to the square inch in the baby than in the rest of us?"

A TALK ABOUr-BOWS AND ARROWS. A Description f Indian Wr ArrowsHow tJie Indian Boy Is Taught to Shoot. Dr. Carver In Forest and Stream. "You see," said Dr. Carver, as he deposiied a whole sheath of brightly feathered arrows on a table, took off his umbrageous felt, and drew up a chair, "I must be shooting something or other all the time. If it isn't a Winchester, it's a bow and arrow. Pretty they are, but most too fine! Fancy things, these arrows, for handsome young ladies to shoot on grass plats at straw targets.

Now, an inaian arrow is a good bit longer maybe thirty-two inches and when a Sioux draws it chock up to the bow it fairly hums when he lets it fly. An Indian arrow has grooves cut in it behind the barb that is to say, tne ones tney use in hunting so that the blood can flow; otherwise the wound would swell and spoil. The fighting arrows are nasty things. The barb is so put on the shaft that when it hits you, the steel, the old hoop-iron, stays in the flesh when you go to pull out the arrow. Dear sakes, what ugly wounds I have seen them mako. An Indian boy begins to hndle a light bow when he toddles, maybe at four or five years. Ilia bow U taller than he is. He shouts at everything round the camp. When ho is twelve houses sharp arrows. A boy must be strong at eighteen to use a man's tow. Now, a white man who takes an Indian's bow for the first time has till ho can do to bend it. It needs some strength, but more knack. The bow is mstle straight. When it i3 strung.the cord, even when in tension, almost touches the bow. It is ihick, some four and a half or five feet long that is, their hunting bow and has extra stiffness by having sinews pested on it. I have seen We-shepsa-has-ka that is, the long man and ho was the best of the Ogalalla Sioux, kill an antelope with his arrow at 125 measured yards. We-shessa-has-ka wa? nearly seven feet tall.and a good Indian. On horseback, broadside to a bufihle, I have more than nee known that Indian to send an arrow through a big cow. Tho arrow hung out on the other side. The bow for horseback and for war is a trifle shorter, and maybe stiffer. You do not draw the arrow to the eye, but catch aim as I do when shooting from the hip. Thet can be acquired only by long practice. The string is drawn by the clutch of the whole fingers, though some of the tribes use the thumb and three fin gers, lhe long man could shoot an arrow in the air out ot sight, and so can I (the Doctor pointed to an arrow buried up to the feathers in tho ceiling of our office; his own peculiar ornamentation of the Forest and Stream sanctum). I think that;in a couple of months I could get into perfect practice, for I used to hold my own with any Indian on tbo plains. Sometimes after I had been shooting with my Winchester an Indian would come up and show hi3 bow and tell me his bow was 'muchee good, but then I used to take his own bow and beat him at it. "To pas away the time when I was at the Brooklyn Driving Park, I bought an English bow and arrows of Holberton, and soon got into the trick of it. I hit blocks of wood thrown into the air quito as often as I missed them. The English bows and arrows are fancy, but good. I would rather have he old Sioux one, made of hickory or ash, but the boss bow I ever owned was made of buffalo ribs. An Indian carries his quiver of arrows over his right shoulder, so teat ho can get his arrows quickly. When he has discharged one arrow, with the Sitm motion that he uses in pulling the string ho clutches another arrow. If he shootä 100 jards he has three or four arrows in the air all going at the same time. It's great fun shotting at a bird with a long tail that flies over the prairie. Knock out his tail and nis steering apparatus is gone. I have knocked tho tail out of many a one, and so caught him in my hands when he tumbled." Two Sides to It. of old citizens were sitting stove in a grocery smoking. A g around oup the toasting their shins and conversing upon different topics. The talk finally turned upon women, and several of the old fellows ventilated their views upon the management of wives. "Tell ye what," said old Colonel Snodgrass, "that old woman 0' mine's a terror when she gets her spine elevated. The only way I kin fotch a real good social grin to her faco is by tellin' funny yarns, an' she does love to hear 'em, too, jus' sure's as yer born. It does me gcod to git her to laffin' an' then give her a dig o' some kind jes' to see her come for mo. 'Tother day I Jold her a lot o' yarns an' had her in a humor that an angel 'd envy. All at once sez I: "Sally, hyar's a conundrum fur ye." "Turn er loose, Snoddy," sez she. "Sally," sez I, "Why am I like Satan's harp?" She studied rale hard for full two minutes, an' then saM: "That ar s a good one. Snoddy. an' I rockon I mus' pass." "And then she smiled so poor-like that I had a notion to tell her that I'd forgot it, but tho old Hrry gin me a punch in the ribs, and sez I: "Why, its 'cause I amuse the devil." "She looked sorter curious a minit till she begin to see the p'nt and then she como to see me, an' well, gents, this 'yah bald spot on the top o' my head growed considerable bigger doorin the ensooin' two minutes. She's got lightnin' in her eye yitl" Old Boggs, of Thirteenth 6treet, sat through the recital, listening eagerly, and as soon as the story was finished got up and left for home. As he walked along he muttered: "I'll get even with my old Hottentot now for callin' me a bald-headed old Dow legged snipe!" When he entered his home ho found his wife sewing, and and at once began to fire funny stories at her. He kept it up until he got her to laughing heartily, and she wondered what made him so unusually entertaining.. She was just beginning to think that sho always underestimated his social qualities, when a peculiar expectant gleam in his eye caught her attention and put her on her guard. After a real funny story he asked: "Mary Jane, guess this one an' I'll get you a new dress danged if I don't! Why am I liko Satan's harp?" and then he picked up his hat in readiness for a dive out of the house. Sho knit her brows and tackled the conundru.n in earnest. In a moment he said: "Aha! I've got you now. You'll have to give it up!" "Just hold on a minute," and down came her brows again. Suddenly she sprang up, clapped her hands and shouted: "I've got it! I've got it! And I want that dress lo-davl" "Not so fast," said he; "you don't git it till you win it fair. Give us your answer. your Why am I, just at harp?" present, like Satan's "Because you're an infernal lyre, you old fool!" she yelled, "and I want that dress!" Ho reflected a moment, and then hi3 jaw went down to see his collar button; and he shot out of the house, grabbed a club and went down town to look for Snodgrass. 11 0 Mistook the Ilouse. Texas Siftlngs.l Yesterday afternoon a book agent put in an appearance at a house in the suburbs of Austin. The proprietor of the establishment happened to be busy in the yard reproving, with a club, his dog, that had stolen andeaten the meat. When the man saw the agent he paused for a minute in his labors on the dog, and said; "Just wait until I get'through with this dog and then I'll attend to you. One at a time, you know." The book agent discovered he was at the wrong house and passed on.
