After a pleasant chat all were invited to an upper room in the home of Mr. Jordan, and after all had been seated in a well lighted room, to our pleasant surprise and pleasure, were greeted by manifestations whom we distinctly recognized as those whom we knew in this life, but had long since 1 passed out. Among many that appeared and conversed with those present whom we recognized was a Dr. R. V. Murray, formerly of Zanesville, Ind. My own father and other relatives, strange as it might seem to any that such things could be possible. It is nevertheless an incontestable fact, to those who were eye witnesses. REV. E.

Patricia turned from the wind*w wlth a little shiver. The leaden sky had just released a £urricane of white feathers, and the rollicking flames in the great brass andironed fireplace magnetized her into the depths of a huge armchair, where she could think comfortably. At last she drew in her breath with a deep sigh. She had reached a decision. Her face was very pale from the past hour’s conflict of emotions and her lips drew a determined red line above her dimpled chin. She glanced at the clock-M! ’ She had promised him her answer by 6, and it was still to be written and dispatched. She dashed a refractory tear from her eye and resolutely crossed the room to 9 writing table. The transient tenderness died from her face .as she seized a pen from the rack and hastily dashed down the superscription. Ths Elms, March 1. My Dear Frierson—Certainly not I can never be your wife after last night’s revelation. Fortunately for me. I’ve quite outgrown my taste for fairy tales, and nothing you might say could alter my determination In view. of the evOence of my own eyes. Very sincerely yours, PATRICIA THURSTON. As she reread the words some of the savage Indignation that bad come into Patricia’s face while she was writing them died out. She pondered a moment, then tore the sheet in two and tossed it into the wastebasket. The clock struck the half hour after 4. She took up the pen again and wfote painstakingly: The Elms, Thursday. Dear Mr." Frierson—After considering the matter thoroughly I have come to the decision that I cannot marry you. There are so many things that make for a happy union, and, lacking in many of the requisites, I fear it would be an unwise step. For Instance, two people just entering upon matrimony should in all cases begin by being able to trust each other implicitly. I shall return all your letters by express. Please do likewise. Yours sincerely, ——— - PATRICIA T. She signed her name with a hysterical flourish and ran her eyes quickly through the curt sentences. Unconsciously her red lip curved upward. “Too sentimental,” she sniffed and crumpled the paper in her hand. The clock ticked with warning Insistence. Without hesitating she drew up a fresh sheet and began: ' ; Thursday Evening. Dear William—Of course after practicing a willful deception upon me it is out of the question for me to further consider your offer of marriage. We should never be happy with the knowledge of it between us even if I could go to the length of overlooking it, which I cannot After Wil, It would have been simple for you to have told me that you had a pretty young aunt who was coming to spend the week. Fancy the shock I experienced upon seeing you kiss a girl—stranger—at the Clanceys’ last night! And so farewell. PATRICIA. She stared at the composition a second, the words running together in an aggravating fashion. At last her gaze

“DEAREST BILLY,” SHE WROTE, “COME.”

cleared. But how ridiculous! The next thing he’d be thinking she was—jealous ! She must be more dignified, more impersonal. Once more she wrote: My Dear Billy—No, do net set the ring. We have made a mistake. Let us stfil be friends. Cordially. PATTY. P. B.—By the way. I never knew before that your grandmother had been twice mart-led. Strange you didn't mention it all these years. There’s quite a difference in your mother’i and Miss Heaslip’s age, isn’t there? P. The clock announced 5. Patricia glanced around, startled, to assure herself with her eyes that her ears bad heard aright. In the tall mirror opposite that stretched from floor to celling she got a transitory glimpse of her face. It was pathetically altered. Her eyes, purple ringed with misery, stared mockingly back at her, The self contempt that swept over her hardened them Instantly. Anything written under the influence of such an expression could not be other than absurd. With a petulant hau4 she swept the still unblotted lines aside and scratched laconically: . Billy—All Is .over between us. My answer is “No.’' Come for your letters and don't fall to bring mine. P, T. She folded the note with cold, dispassionate fingers. A pang went through her. She caught In her breath with a dry. audible sound- “Unexpected; telegram indeed! 1 * the mused angrily, “1 don’t believe a word of it” The striking of the half hour nerved

her to seal the letter quickly and address it to “1918 West Twenty-ninth Street, Mr. William K. Frierson, City.” She stamped it with deadly deliberation and pressed the bell. While whiting for the messenger she sat staring absently at the name she had written —his name; written it for the one hundred and seventeenth and the last time. She continued to stare at the stereotyped address through a blurred vision. After all, perhaps she had not expressed herself just right; at least, she might have been more courteous, as this was the end. There were still thirty minutes of grace. The chauffeur, running at speed limit, could make the distance in twenty! She rose and threw the letter into the fire, then with a funny little, gleam in her eyes watched it curl and blacken and sift to nothingness. She turned toward the writing table again, her thoughts shaping themselves rapidly and clearly. It was positively her last chance to be diplomatic, firm—final. Crimson flags were waving in her cheeks; twin sparks had kindled blue flames in her eyes; her breath came and went in little jerks. But her hands were steady as a die. She wrote: Dearest Billy—Come. PAT.

A Real Nice Hueband.

During the reign of Queen Anne there lived in Jermyn street, London, a Mr. and Mrs. Howe, who were a well to do and apparently a very happy couple. After eight years of married life Mr. Howe suddenly disappeared, and nothing was beard of him for seventeen years, during which period bls two children had died and Mrs. Hojve had left her Jermyn street residence for a small house off Golden square. The extraordinary part of this real life romance is that Mr. Howe had never gone away from London at all and lived at Westminster under another name. Disguised, he attended St. James’, Piccadilly, every Sunday and saw his wife there. Mr. Howe also frequented a coffee house which almost faced Mrs. Howe’s house, and thus he could watch her movements. When seventeen years had elapsed Mrs. Howe received an anonymous letter In which the writer desired her to meet him in Birdcage walk the next day, as he had something important to tell her. Mrs. Howe went as requested and there met her long lost husband. Mr. Howe never explained the motives which had prompted his disappearance, and Mrs. Howe wisely did not press the subject. The reunited couple lived for many years after their separation happily, which is only one of the many cases in everyday life where truth is stranger than fiction.

A Surprised Scotchman.

In the year 1739 the Russians and Turks, weary of war, commissioned two plenipotentiaries—on the Russian side Marshal General Keith, on the Bide of the Turks the grand vizier of the sultan—to make peace. The two diplomatists met and carried oil protracted negotiations through interpreters. When all was satisfactorily settled the plenipotentiaries rose to take formal leave of each other, the marshal making his bow with his hat In his hand and the grand vizier bls salaam with his turban on his bead. These ceremonies of leavetaking over, the grand vizier suddenly straightened himself and, to the marshal's utter astonishment, marched up to him, gripped him affectionately by the hand and In the very broadest Scotch cried: “Dlnna be surprised, man. I’m frae the same country as yoursel’. Weel I mind seeing you and your brither when boys passing by the school at Kirkcaldy.” “Why, who—who are you?’’ gasped the,marsbal, staggering back in his bewilderment. “I am the grand vizier to the sultan of Turkey, but—my father was bellman o’ Kirkcaldy!”

Lovable Liszt.

It has been said that Liszt was the most loved man in history. This statement may appear sweeping and rash, but there was such an Indescribable personal charm about him that all with whom he came in contact felt the force Of his attractiveness. Not only was he loved by personal acquaintances, but also by those who merely heard him play in the concert hall. There was a mysterious charm about his playing that turned artistic admiration into personal affection. When Liszt played, all who heard him deluded themselves Into the belief that he played for them In particular; that he shared their philosophy—aye, their joys and sorrows. He was tall, of commanding appearance, learned, strong and fearless, yet simple, as most great men are. A large, warm heart which embraced the whole world, presided over these virtues—a heart ever ready to rejoice and suffer with others. His generous zeal In behalf of his contemporaries—Wagner, Chopin, Schumann and Berlioz—proves clearly the unparalleled love power of his heart, which continually showed Itself In a thousand different ways, conquering the sternest and coldest of natures.

The Sponge Animal.

If the sponge as brought up fresh from the sea bottom were a familiar object few would be in doubt as to its being an animal. When fresh It is a fleshy looking substance covered with a firm skin, and if cut It presents somewhat the appearance of raw meat. Its cavities are Ailed with a gelatinous substance called “milk.” American Sponges and those of all other parte of the world are inferior to the sponges 1 of the eastern shores of the Mediterranean. The finest of all sponges is ibe Turkey toilet sponge, which is cup shaped. The American sponge most nearly approaching it in quality is ths West Indian glove sponge.

The SPORTING WORLD

Bennett May Retire. If Champion Harry 8. Bennett is successful in defending his title during the national regatta on the Connecticut river, Springfield, Mass., on Aug. 14 and 13, he will retire on his laurels and let others fight It out fdr the single sculling championship of the United States next year. i Bennett’s main idea in giving up the rowing game is that he would be pitted In the championship singles next year against his clubmate, Alexander Warnock, at present the intermediate champion. These two carry the colors

HARRY S. BENNETT.

of the Springfield Boat club and are such stanch friends that each hesitates at the thought of contesting against the other. In this year's regatta Bennett and Warnock will be entered in the double sculls event, while each will go into his own event in the singles. There is the possibility of defeat for Bennett this year. Durando Miller, New York A. C., winner of the association singles In Philadelphia, is a comer who is capable of taking a lot more Of beating this year than he did last, when Bennett, Greer and Fred Shephard beat him in. But last year Miller bad raced In his event before going into the championships and consequently could not be rated as having started on even conditions with Bennett New Golf Scheme. A distinctly new and unique scheme in the golf cup line has been started at the Dunwoodie Country club of Yonkers, N. Y., which is going in for novelties this season. The membership has been divided into classes, according to occupation, and each group has presented a trophy. Most of these cups in all - probability will be given a name distinguishing the honors. The clergymen’s cup, for instance, will be known as the Domines cup. Among the trades and professions that have already assured representation are lawyers, doctors, merchants, real estate men, advertising agents, journalists and brokers. Such plans for livening up matters have proved effective, as is shown by the fact that seventeen cups were in competition during June. Six cups were won Memorial day, five were played for the Fourth of July, and five will be up Labor day. To Honor Cy Young. “Although this is decidedly irregular and may establish a bad precedent, we are willing to consent to a violation of the rules of the American league, which cannot do too much for Cy Young,” said President Ban Johnson as he gave his official sanction to the proposed benefit for the Boston veteran player. The game will be between Detroit and Boston, Aug. 13, and President Johnson said the teams could frame up any sort of game they wished, even to the point.of exchanging batteries or any other feature that would draw a big attendance. ' Yale to Stick to Galea Ferry. Rowing authorities at Yale university say they are highly amused over the story emanating from Springfield, Mass., to the effect that the Yale crews will train next spring before the annual regatta with Harvard on the national regatta course at that city. It is declared that there are no facta to warrant such a change in’training quarters. Yale now owns its buildings and lands at Galea Ferry, and extensive alterations havg been made there at a cost between >B,OOO and >lO,000 from a gift by Payne Whitney, a former varsity captain. • ' Highball Beta New World’s Mark. Highball, the mighty sou of Dr. Hooker, owned and driven by Ed Geers in the free for all trot in the great western races at Peoria, 111., recently, after covering the first mile in 2:06%, winning easily from Margaret O. and Oro, came back in the second heat and made the distance in 2:03%, a world’s record for geldings in any heat and equaling Sweet Marie’s record for second heat made in 1907. Chicago Motor Run Postponed. The Chicago Motor club has postponed the 1,000 mile reliability run, which was for the latter part of July/until a later date in the season. In all probability the event will be started about the middle of August. The reasons given for the postponement were the many conflicting automobile events. Hack May Be Down and Out. It is stated that it is doubtful if Hackenschmidt, the “Russian Lion,” will be able to resume wrestling. One consequence of his recent Illness was an operation, which left a temporary paralysis of the left hand.
