AN EVERY-DAY REALIST. “ SVo doubt I’M! one of the big eoarso crowd, ths.t * men at learning o:t rate as fools, That work1 for bread when they’ve snatched their chance of 11 few fleet years at the common schools. I'm only a carpenter that lives in a cheap New York Kfphlh avenue flat. With a plain but tender and trusting wife, and one boy-baby, funny and fat. Yet It cheers if I retd, far an hour or more (when I’m not too tired to keep from bed), j And I choose past aHi what the poets write, with their rhymen that haunt mo in heart and head; For the trip and tho tinkle. the swing and ring, i have a way oi setting my blood agrlot^, Like the gurgles from cold moss-bordered brooks, when willow-stems feather and t§ / if south winds blow. , . \ I'm a city-bred follow, and yet I’ve gained sonic few glad glimpses of streams and trees; That is why nearly all of my favorite verse is so filled with the echoes of birds and bet s. ' Yet I can't help wishing some poet would dress - his melodious language in spells that deal With the tunes and tints of such days as mine, their cares and comforts, their woe and - .t weak X; should love some poem that deigned to tell of my toil with chisel and adze sod saw, n i Of my resolute hammer, my whistling plane, my tawny shavings, iny plank's tough flaw; I should love the laugh, of tho line*? to trill w ith ( ’. my Mary’s voico and my babe's gay coo; I should lovo tho light of the line si to beam with their four sweet eyes of so bllnnd a blue. I should love to read of the lowlier lot which is mine and peoplo sof my degree— The neat, prim parlor, the stubborn stove, the ’ • company coming for Sunday tea; * . J . , The Wide-open windows wliilo suuniner broeds, ’ .. - the jingle of cam in hot streets uncteaili: Tho holiday spent at west lirlghton beach, and the planning oi; just what its cost may mean.

The grimy Italian, whose fruit-illled stall brings a blase I tom the tropics beneath , * alien sky: The youngsters that pause at the candy-shop's pane and babble of what they would ’like to buy; « The sad child’s funeral Just next; door, with its white glazed nearsc and its mourners pale: Tho wedding near by at the church round the block, where tho bride's too poor for the price of a veil; > ' The butcher that clenvea his chops and steaks, wiik a broad-blown Visage as red as they Tho baker that clutches his ccippcr coin for loaves that to many arc lifers one stay; The staggering tope:: that slips beneath some pawnbroker’s t riple golden sign; Tho wan-faced woman that jvatcihes late where a bright-lit tavern flares malign; Thi^crcech of the milkman at early morn, tho clatter of carts over sullen stones; Thic children that poLka in mirthful pairs wheft the strain of a hand-organ clangs and drones; » Thb fire-engine's rush, with its gallop of steeds, its hclmeted men.

ICopyrlpht, 1893, by J. B. Llppincott & Co. and published by special arrangement J IV.—Continued. for “Hello, Waring!” he began. “Oh, you, isilt, captain? Isn't Waring bt.ck? I saw the light, and came up to chin with him a moment. Beastly night, isn’t it?" “Waring isn't back yet. I look him bv the eleven-th^-ty car,” apswered the captain. “Why, that’s :in. No Waring there, but a half dozen poor devils half drowned and mcre'n half drunk, one of your men among ’em. We had to put him ; into the guard-house to keep him from murdering Daw son, the head-quarters clerk. There’s been some kind of a it’s row. . | f “Sorry to hear that. Who is the man?” “Kane. He saifl Dawson was lying about his officer, and he wouldn’t sjtand it.” ♦ “Kane!” exclaimed Cram, rising, “why, he’s one of our best, I never heard of his bei ng riotous before.’’ “He’s riotous enough to-night, ne wanted to lick all six of our fellows, and if I hadn’t got there when I did they would probably have kicked him into a pulp. All were drunk; Kane, too, I should say; and as for Dawson, he was just limp.” “Would you mind going down and letting me talk with Kane? I never knew him to be troublesome bciforc, though he sometimes drank a little. He was on pass this evening. “Well, it’s raining cats and dogs, captain, but come along. If you can stand it I can.” A few minutes later the sergealnt of the guard threw open one of the wooden compartments in the guard-house, and there sat Kane, his face buried in his hands. “I ordered him locked in here by himself, because I feared our fellows would hammer him if he were turned in with them,” explained Mr. Merton, and at sound of the voice the prisoner looked up and saw his commander, dripping with wet. Unsteadily he rose

to ms ieet. “Captain,” hi) began, thickly, *Td| never have clone it in the world, sir, but that blackguard was drunk, sir, and slandering my officer, and I gave liim fair warning to quit orTdfiitihim, but Jle kept on.” “Ye-es? And what did he say?’| “He said—I wouldn’t believe it, sir— that Mr. Doyle was that drunk that him and some ether fellers had lifted hiaaout of the tuud and put him to bed up There at—up there at the house, sir, back of Ana^ole’s place. I think the captain knows.' “Ah, you should have steered clear of such company, Kane. Did thishappen at Anatole’n saloon?" j “Yes, sir, and them fellers was making so much noise that the dago turned them all out and shut up the shop at eleven o'clock, and that’s what inade

them follow me home In the car and abuse me all the way. 1 couldn’t stand It, sir.” ‘ “You would only have laughed at them if your better judgment hadn’t been ruined by liquor. Sorry for you, Kane,, but you’ve been drinking just enough to be a nuisance, and must stay when; you are for the night. They’ll be sorry for what they said in the morning. Did you lock up the''others, Mr. Merton?” he asked, as they turned away. , " “All but Dawson, sir. I took him over to the hospital and put a sentry over him. That fellow looks to be verging on jimjams, and 1 wouldn't be surprised if he’d been talkingjas Kane says.” Merton might have* added, “and it's probably true,” but courtesy to his battery friend forbade. Cram did add mentally something to t^ie same effect, but loyalty to his arm of the service kej>t him silent. At the flag-staff the two officers stopped. “ Merton, oblige mo by saying nothing as to the alleged language about Doyle, will you?” ? “Certainly, captain. Good night.” Then, as the officer of the .day's lantern flickered away in onb direction, Cram turned in the other, and presently went climbing up the stairs to the gallery leading to the quarters of his senior first lieutenant. A dim light was shining through the shutters.

fnl her L A sudden thought struck the captaiu He led the way down the slope : nd forded across to the north side, till others following. “Joy e,” said ha to his orderly, “dismount ;nd go in there and ring at the door. Lsk if Mr. Lascelles is home. If not, .sk if madame has any message she wo uld like to send to town, or if we ear be of any service.” • ® The sjldier was gone but a moment, and c* ssie hurrying back, a negro boy, holdin f a long fold of matting over his her 1 to shed the rain, chasing at his heu s. It was Alphonse. “M’s i m* not yet of return,” said he, in lab red translation of his negro French “and madame remain ehez j Mme. d Herrilly. I am alone wia my l mudder and she has fear.” “Oh, t’s all right, I fancy,” said Cram, reassuringly. “They were caught )y the storm, and wisely stayed uptown I saw your gate open, so we stoppe i to inquire. We’ll ride over to Mme. .C'TIervilly’s and a^k for them. How ci ne your gate open?” “Mo cmnais pas; I dunno, sare. It was lot t’ last night.” “Why, that’s odd,” said Cram. “Better lx>l; it now, or all the cattle along ; the lev . c will be in there. You chn’t ' lock ox the water, though. Who had J the key besides Mr. Lascelles or. madame?” ^ * . •

“DAT CROSS-HANDLED DA .SEE.”

Cram knocked at the door; no answer. Opening it, he glanced in. The room was unoccupied. A cheap marine clock,, ticking between the north windows and the wash-stand, indicated midnight* and the battery commander turned away in vexation of spirit. Lieut. Doyle had no authority to be absent 6from the post. Itj was dark and storming furiously when the bugles of the battery sounded the reveille-, and by the light of the swi nging lanterns the men marched awa,y in their canvass stable rig, looking t like a column of ghosts. .Yet, despite the gale and the torrents of rain, Pierce was in no wise "surprised to ind Cram at his elbow when* the horses were led out to water. “ Groom indoors this morning, Mr. Pierce. Is Waring homo?” “ No, sir; Ananias told me when he brought me up rhv coffee.” “(Hold the jnorning report, then, until I come to the office. I fear we have both first lieutenants to report absent to-day. You and I may have to go to town; so get your breakfast early. We will ride. I doubt if even an ambulance could get through. Tell me, Pierce, have you spoken to Waring about—about that matter we were discussing? lias he ever given you any idea that he had received warning of any kind from old Lascelles—or any of his* friends?” “No, sir. I’ve had no * chance to speak, to be sure, and, so far as I could observe, he and Mr. Lascelles seemed on very excellent terms only a few days ago.” ‘‘Well, I wish I had spoken myself,” said Cram, and turned away. That morning, with two first lieutenants absent without leave, the report of Light Dattery “X” went into the .adjutant’s ofiice just as its commander and his junior subaltern went out i,nd silently mounted the dripping horses standing in front. The two ordejrlies, with their heads poked through the slit of their ponehos, briskly seated themselves in saddle, and then the colonel hurried forth just in time to hail: * *

“Oh, tram! one minute. And Cram reined about arid rode to the side of the post commander, who stood under the shelter of the broad gallery. “1 wouldn’t say anything- about this to anyone at headquarters except Reynolds. There’s ho one else on the staff to whom Waring would apply, is there?” - “Nc^Onc, sir. Reynolds is the only man I can think of.” “Will you send an orderly back with wtn?d as soon as you know?” “Yes, sir, the moment I hear. A_nd-d —shall I send you word from—there” —and Cram nodded northward, and then, in a lower tone, “as to Doyle?” “Ok, damn Doyle! f.don’t care if he never—” But here the commander of the post regained control of himself, ^.nd with parting * wave of the hand turned back to his office. Riding single fi\e up the levee, for the city road was one long pool, with the swollen river on their left, arid the slanting torrents of rain obscuring all objects on the other hand, the party made its way for several squares without exchanging a word. Presently the wall of the Lascelles place. The green latjticed gate stood open—an unusual thing—and both officers bent low over their pommels and gazed along thp dark, rain-swept alley to the pillared portico dimly seen beyond. Not a soul wa s in sight. The water was already on a level with the banquette, and would soon be running across and into the. gate. A vagabond dog skulking about the nl&ca gave vent to a monrnopposite the high

“Nobody, sare; but there is muddy foots all over the piazza.1’ “The devil! I'll have to look in for a moment. ’ A nod to Pierce brought him too f rom the saddle, and the officers handed their reins to the -orderlies. Then together they entered the gate at ' strode up the white shell walk, looking curiously about them through the dripping shrubbery. Again that dismal howl was raised, and Pierce, stopping with impatient exclami ion, tore half a brick from the yielding border of the walk and sent it hurtling through the trees. With his tail between his legs, the brute darted from behind a sheltering bush, scurried away around the corner of the h use, glancing fearfully back, then, ha dng at safe distance, squatted on his launches and lifted up his mournful voice again. - “ Whose dog is that?” demanded Cram. “ M’sit u’ Philippe's; he not now here. He is de brudder to monsieur.” At the steps the captain bent and closely examined them and the floor of the low veranda to which they led. Both we e disfigured by muddy footprints. Pierce" would Jiave gone still farther in the mves^fcation, but his senior held up a warninjPhand. “Two men have been here,” he muttered. 4 They have tried the door and tried the blinds. Where did you sleep ! last night, boy?” and with the words he turned suddenly on the negro. “ Did you hear no sound?” “No, sare. I sleep in my bed,—’way back. No, I hear noting,—noting.” And now :;he negro's face was twitching, his eyes staring. Something in the soldier’s stern voice told him that there wa 3 tragedy in the air. “If this door is locked, go around and open it from within,” said Cram, briefly. Then, as Alphonse disappeared around the north side, he stepped baekjbo the shell walk and followed one of its branches around j the other. An instant later Pierce j heard him call. , Hastening in his wake, th youngster came upon his captain s anding under a window, one of whose blinds was hanging partly open, writer standing in pools all

ai v uuu i -i. “ Look here,” v^s all he said, and pointed upward. The sill was above the level of their • heads, bu t both could see that thesash i was raised. All was darkness within, j “ Come with me,” was Crain’s next: order, and the lieutenant followed, j Alphonse was unlocking the front j door, and now threw it open. Cram I strode into the wide hall-way straight I to a doo of the east side. It was locked. ‘' Open this, Alphonse,” he said. ’ . “I have tot the key. It is ever with M’sieu’ La Welles. It is his library.” Cram stepped back, gave one vigorous kick wi ;h a heavy riding-boot, and the frail door flew open with a crash. For a moment the darkness was such that no ob: c ct could be distinguished within. The negro servant hung back, trembling from some indefinable dread. The captain, his hand on the door-knob, stepped quickly into the gloomy apartment, Pierce close at his ! heels. A l i oad, flat-topped desk stood j in the center of the room. Some j shelves am books were dimly visible J against tht wall. Sonfe of the draw- f ers of the desk were open, and there i was a litter''of papers on the desk, and j others were strewn in the big rattan j chair, somt on the floor. Two studentlamps oocH be dimly distinguished, one on the big desk, another on a little reading table placed not far from the south v indow, whose blinds, half ; ooen. admi ted almost the only h£ht

that entered tha room. With Its h«a4 near this reading-table and faintly visible, a bamboo lounge stretched its length towards the southward windows, where all was darkness, and something' vague and indistinguishable lay extended upon the lounge. Cram marched Balf-way across the floor, then stopped short, glanced down, stepped quickly to one side, shifting Ixis hearily-booted foot as though to avoid some such muddy pool as those encountered without. , “Take care,” he whispered, and motioned warningly to fierce. “Come here and open these shutters, Al- j phonse,” were the next words. 13ut once again that prolonged, dismal, mournful howl was heard under the south window* and the negro, seized with uncontrollable panic, turned back and clung trembling1 to the opposite wall. “Send one of the men for the post surgeon at once, then come back here,” said the captain, and Pierce hastened to the gate. As he returned, the west shutters were being thrown open. There was light when he reentered the room, and this was what he saw: On the China matting, running from underneath the sofa, fed by heavy drops from above, a dark wet stain. On the lounge, stretched at full length, a stiffening human shape, a »yellow white, parchment-like face above the black clothing, a bluish, half-opened mouth whose yellow teeth showed savagely, a fallen chin and jaw, covered with the gray stubble of unshaved beard, and two staring, sightless, ghastly eyes, fixed and upturned as though in agonized appeal. Stonedead — murdered, doubtless—all that was left of the little Frenchman, Lascelles. [TO BB COXTCfTED.]

A HUMAN CALLIOPE. A 8trdns*Volcfd Canvasman Who Irrltatcd t lie Animals, But Saved tlic Show. “One of the most singular men lever knew,” said a wealthy retired circus man to a^sew York cun reporter, "was a canvasman in the first show l ever owned. His name w as Bill Flicker and his singularity lay id his voice: he was, the loudest talker I ever knew. He disturbed everybody when he talked, and if he talked at night he alwaj’s woke up the animals. This once came very near getting us into serious trouble. The giraffe one day bit at a little child who hacjl approached too near his cage, and he nevpr would have done this in the world if he had not been made irritable by being kept awake njghts hearing Bili talk. There were times when we thought we would' have to get rid of Bill, but he was a good-hearted man, and he did twice as irmeh work as anybody else, and so we fvpt him, and the time came when we were very glad we did. Our steam calliope, one of the first ever used, was a great attraction. We always billed it very strong as a leading feature of the street parade, and it pleased the people immensely. We were at that time in the far west. In those days there were in every far western town a considerable number of intensely emotional people whib were always sure to make a great row if things didn't go to please them. While we were( in one of these towns our calliope byokp down, and the engineer was unable to repair jt in t’TOf. We dragged it in the procession, buttke people Were so enraged at not hearing it play that they shot the horses. At the next tbwn the calliope was still out of repair, and we expected that the people there would wreck the show, but at the last moment, just as the parade was about to start, Bill Flicker stepped forward and said: “ ‘Colonel, 111 be the‘calliope.’ “They took the insides out of the calliope and put Bill in. The player took his place and worked the keys and Bill talked. After that nobody ever thought of discharging Bill Flicker. He disturbed the animals, but he had saved the circus. A SancUflcd Herb Among the American Aborigines. Since* the world-wide diffusion of the tobacco habit, its earliest, and perhaps original, use has been in a great measure overlooked. With the aborigines of America, smoking and its kindred practices were not mere sensual gratifications, but tobacco was regarded as a herb of peculiar and mysterious sauctity, a^d its use was deeply and intimately interwoven with native rites and ceremonies. With reasonable certainty the pipe may be considered as an implement the use of which was originally confined to the priest, medicine man, or sorcerer, in whose hands it was a means of communication between savage men and the unseen spirits with which his universal doctrine of animism invested every object that came under his observation. Similar to this use of the pipe was its employment in the treatment of disease, which in savage philosophy is always thought to be the work of evil spirits* Tobacco was also regarded as an offering of peculiar acceptabili ty to the unknown powers in whose hands the Indian conceived his fate for good or ill to lie; hence it is observed to figure prominently in ceremonies as incense, and as material for sacrifice.— John Hawkins, in Popular Science Monthly.

Marked by Lightning. A negro in Washington lias the scorch of a lightning stroke on 'his body—a white streak that begins between the shoulders and runs down the left side. It is waving in form, Hike the leafless stalk of a. vine. This mark, which he has worn for about thirty years, he received when he was sitting under a tree during a thunderstorm—'always a dangerous place at such a time. Though he was stunned for a moment after being struck, he suffered no lasting inconvenience from the shock. Another man who was struck while sitting beneath a tree, escaped mark or hurt, but the soles of both of his shoes were torn off and fhvig to a distance of a sralvturda- ' . ■ j
