The following tale comes from a writet in the Chicago Journal, and may 01 may not be a "real Lincoln." It is in any event, a good story: Two farm-hands, Lincoln used tc say. were set upon by a huge bull while crossing a rocky field. On managed to gain a tree. The othei took refuge in a hole in the tree thai proved to have an exit in the rear. The man who had chosen the hol was no sooner in at one end than h was out at the other. With a bellow the bull made for him. He turned and again shot like lightning through th hole. The bull once more bore dowr upon him, and once more he was It and out of bis hole. This strange pursuit kept up fot some minutes. At first It mystiSec" the farm-hand up in the tree. Ther It angered him. "Hey," he shouted, "you Idiot! Wh) don't you stay In the hole?" The bull was clashing from one end of the hole to the other at great speed and the man was bobbing in and oul desperately.

CH AFTER XVI. (Continued.) One bit of documentary evidence that materialized In the Hackleye home at Cairo was bruited about in all th papers. On the fly leaf of a French Bible, in a woman's hand an odd hand with peculiarly forcible strokes were thes entries: "Married January 10. 1S99. Cerisse Corella Wayne, daughter of Deslree and John Francis Wayne, and Hamleye Hackleye. third son of Sir Walter and Lady Evelyn Hackleye. "Eorn. November 1st. 1900. to Cerisse Corella Wayne Hackleye and Hamleye Hackleye, a son, Walter Hamleye Hackleye. "Corn, October 13. 1901, to Cerlssrt Corella Wayne Hackleye and Hamleys Hackleye. a daughter, Faula Ceris3 Hackleye." Gradually there became fixed mor e at ?4 Driarsweet place, was so upset by the sensation in which the staid old home was figuring that he nearly went wild. As it was, he cut short his European trip, and came home l' a jiffy to sea t'.iat the beloved old homcrtcad was not whittled to bits by enterpri3lng sleuths, who were seeking further for secret passages and subterranean waj-s. Mrs. Desterle died early in the fall and her heart-broken husband took their accumulated savings and went home to Paris. Harold Hareourt was still stlfiing behind the bars of the Jail. The British government did not come auJ lead him out of captivity. Harjourt's wife was slowly getting better In the hospital to which they had removed h?r. There had been shocking days of ravings so extraordi nary that the nurses had stood abasned at the horrors revealed; there had been times when Mrs. Harcourt's strength outranked that of even the itrongest attendants, and In her violence she had essayed to kill herself. but oft-mest she was weak as a sick kitten, and lay Inert and helpless on her narrow bed, moaning as If within her slender frame fermented the anguish of the world. Philip Hartley came dally to see her. His quiet presence always had a calming tffect upon tne s;ck -woman, and she seemed t) recognize him. Philip called first be cause the paper sent him, and yet, as the months drifted by and the Wayns murder mystery was relegated grad ually from a first to a second, and then to a fourth and even to a fifth page place in the paper, he went because he wanted to, not confessing to him eelf why. He couldn't have told. He couldn't resist the emotion that drew him to the sick woman. The most expert doctors were called In attendance. Mr3. IIarcourt'3 condi tion was most baflllrig. One day theia drifted in an aunt of the interne, a gray-haired doctor who had done mis sionary work in India for thirty-five years. The Interne discussed the case with hi3 aunt, and took her around to see the patient. The old doctor Fotherglll was her name examined the young woman closely. "I think, John," she said, after she had looked at Mrs. Hareourt. accord lng to the prescribed ritual for medici nal inspection, "that the poor little thing has been drugged to death. They do these things beneath the tropic suns very frequently. There are weird drugs put to queer purposes over there Where they stop at murder, even by slow poison, death in life is no more than a convenience to them if they so desire. I think she's drug-sick. Give her light food, stimulants, and plenty of morphine. It's the best reagent I've found for .those indiscriminate drugs that grow over there. Also a towdr I'll bring you." The interne quoted his aunt to the attending physicians. And because of the fame of Dr. Fothergill, which had traveled even across the broad sas and the line of sex. they listened to what che said. They followed Dr. Fotherglll's advice and slowly but surely Mrs. Hareourt began to Improve. One day she roused from her stupor, at up and looked at her nurses. I do not remember," she stammered. "I cannot remember, and I'm glad, for the hurt has all gone from here." As she spoke she pressed one han1 to her heart, and the other to her head There Philip Hartley found her when he came an hour later. He had a glowing bunch of asters for her lavenders, whites, soft pinks and ashes of roses! "Sweet flowers with their colors burned away," she murmured as she reached out for them. There was th? same lnnocept friendliness between these two pure-souled ones as th?r; might have been between two seraphims. "Your flowers of the north countries seem so pale and yet so pure." she continuew, as she buried her face within the shaggy petals. "Rut they have no perfumes " "Ah, yes. they have," denied Hartley. "We have rose gardens here, too, and violet beds In springtime, and carnations in June, when the roses are sweetl and mignonette, and flowering almond, syringa, and sweet alyssum we have our perfumes, too, my lady. But they're not musk-laden like your feverish India." "Feverish India," mused Mrs. Harcourt "I wonder if it is so! I am so much better to-day. I can't rcmembir anythlng; it's all a dim, gray waste !n my head, but It doesn't hurt any more, and I'm so glad. My husband where Is he?" It was the first time she had asked about Hareourt. Hartley hesitated. He did not know whether to break the blessed peace that surrounded her. He did not know what to tell her. Finally he decided to tell the truth a rash thing always. "Why, Miss Lancey disappeared, you know; or lo you remember the youn girl who went to your room that nightAnd the police of courso it's foolish of them, but the police, you know, think he may know something about her disappearance, and they're holding him till they find her." "Is he In jail?" asked Mrs. Hareourt "Why. yes." admitt-d Philip, - "but they've made him very comfortable. You can bo comfortable even in jail, you know. He doesn't seem to be minding It much.' "Sometimes I have thought of late I don't know, but there seems to oe a shadow between my husband and me. What is it? I know and yet I cannot tell. Answer me, are there two lie's? Else why have I seen myself
e If. in !1
4 4 Laoeei 7 J7 walking In the garden when I was ick. so sick, and in my bed? Why have I seen myself beneath the trees caressing my husband when I was in the house with my baby on my knee? "What is It? And why? I cannot understand at all!" Philip tried to soothe her. II fear ed she had overtaxed herself and blamed himself. He rose to go, but she detained him. "No, don't!" she pleaded. "You re3t me. Just like tho cool water does a reary throat. My throat doesn't burn any more like it used to. I wonder why. They don't give me so much medicine here any more. Harold used to give it to me all the time. My head eels so much lighter than It did as If t would blow away." Dr. Fothergill had come in the room while Mrs. Hareourt wa speaking. At the last words a triumphant look flashed across the physician's face, and her lips formed the words, "I told you so." "I don't believe I ever want to go back to India," continued Mrs. liarcourt, absently following the patterns in the ceiling. 'T feel so different here. As if it were another life. And you. ar friend, you have been so kind. I ove your visits so. lou must come oftener." Phlüp blushed under her unconvenionality. He was well awire that even under the guise of newspaper demands that a pennlb ss $30-a-week re porter had no riht to call too fre quently upon the wile of an Last Indian magnate, herself possessed of a arge fortune. Tartlculahly when this said wife was a young, lovely and seemingly unfortunate woman. He made his adleux confusedly. Dr. Fothergill followed him out Into the hall. "You must, as she says, come oftener," the doctor Insisted, with the emphasis of all griy-haired women. "She never speaks of herself except when you are here. It is the only way to clear this thing up. Mind what I say. And mailers are muaaieu Dauiy enough now. goodness knows. What with two young idiots Mr. Morris and Mr. Johnson both heading for Africa on a wild goose chase, Mrs. Desterle's death, and the disappear ance of Miss Lancey, there has been far too much woe and ruin accumulat ed at the feet of one murder. A fine set of police they have here. I must say. Come to-morrow, young man, come to-morrenr." And Philip needed but little urging. Ills sentiments for the woman who was so slowly '.onvalcscing were far too tender to suit his reason, when he stopped to use it. But Philip was young, and youth is ever irrational, so he counted each hour with Mrs. Hareourt as rarer than the gems that fas tened her hair, or her soft lounging robes of wonderful texture and color lng. He read to her, he plaj-ed that old Indian game, parchesl, with her. and one day proposed a game of cards. but th? sight of the pasteboards turn ed her faint, and she suffered a sink ing spell that put her recovery back for week3. " CHAPTER XVII. Meta and Benoni made ready the re past. Betty and Larry and Johnny traded experiences. "Think, Bitty, think hard," urged Larry, "what was It that stole you that night, or who. and why?" "Tell me the whole story again,' mused the perplexed Betty. "My brain has slipped a revolution." So the boys recounted to her the night In the Directory Hotel. As they proceeded Betty's eyes widened, her face paled, and in her eagerness she paced the floor excitedly. "Oh, yes, yes, I remember now," sh? said. "I went into her room what do you say her name is Mrs.' Hareourt? Yes! Weil. I went in there and I pre tended I was ill. And then she telephoned to the clerk and beggei him to send up and get me, and then I ran, ran as fast as I could, and at the cor ner and then well, I bumped Ihto something eoft and furr end andt'on't laugh, but it smelt and felt the same as that horrid, horrid beast the Man-Aperllla, you know'; And I don't know any more except being sick, a3 I told you. and waking up on board that yacht, and getting hefe!

Benoni!" called Larry, "did yoa steal thi3 girl?" Benor.l clinched his hands at the suggestion. "I steal her?" he ra'ed. "And I with a wife!" "Xons-rnse," said Betty. "He doe3 not talk I!ke Le Malheureux, and well I don't feel the repulsion for him I had for Le Malmcureux. I don't know what it was, I can't explain It. I shiver still!" "Perhaps it was Man-Aperilla who nolo you, Betty." volunteered Johnny. "You remember you went out to the park for the Inaulrer with a. photographer to get the brute's picture. Have you forgotten? Perhaps he fell in love with your charms, and stole jou to make you his bride, like Larry here is going to do." "He might have stolen me," admitted Betty, "but, Johnny, don't be nonsensical!" "About what?" asked Johnny. "About Larry marrying youT A man doesn't risk his fool neck like Larry's done for you If he Isn't going to marry the woman at the end of the risk." "Well, but you did it." retorted Betty. "I know, but I had a wife to start out with, and felt I ought to get Larry tied up, too. Besides, I think it will be a Joke to assist at the wedding. Oh, I know Larry hasn't asked you yet, but then he's afraid to. He's planning to just carry you off." "I'm going to draw the line at being abducted twice, till I get a prodigal's return on the strength of the first kidnaping," laughed Betty. "Do you suppose that the Man-Aperllla could have stolen m? And if so, why? I'd like to find Le Malheureux, perhaps he'd . tell me. The why of things as they are is troubling me." "We're going to find Le Malheureux right now," said Meta. "If we don't we'll never find ourselves again. We must make hasta out of here, Miss Lancey." "Oh, call me Bettista. like you have clone," begged Betty, mimicking tho name Meta had given her In the day3 of their broken dialect. "I like it better." "Anything, only make haste," cautioned Eenoni. "We cannot take ycu women where we men have gone. Time is life Just now."

"What have j ou there, my wife?" questioned the black. 'A few of the jewels;," she answered. "I thought we mijrht need them. No. there are not many left." They were an odd cavalcade. Benoni was at the head of the procession, then Johnny, close behind Lira.

They went down the step3. retracing their way along the same corridors down which Tycga had brought Betty so many ' weeks before. In the lower passage three pigeons flew out and rested on Betty's shoulder, hovering there an instant, then darting away, up towards ' th rain -gray sky. The boat that awaited them was smaller model of the yacht that had j uorne ieiij across seas, ana 01 less elaborate construction. Eenonl dlsanpeared below deck to a location similar , to the one where Le Malheure had been wont to station himself. Betty. looking backward through the arch- ! way. saw to her surprise hundreds .f ; stalwart negroes embarking from a , fleet of boats that had suddenly ap- t peared upon the swollen bosom of tha j river. She started to cry out. but ' Meta'3 hands closed over her mouth, i The yacht ducked Its nose to the water ! and went spinning along the tunnel "Eenoni.

We have mirrors to signal with and a field glass. Won't you wave to us? I am sure we could see you." The od man's face brightened. Surely! Surely!" He nodded eagerly. I'll watch." All the morning he wa3 restless and excited. He climbed to his room for his- largest handkerchief, and went into the house half a dozen times - 1 A eohioare his watcn witn tne ciocic. Finally the flashes appeared. A number of people were watching, and answered from the steps. In his corner he waved his handkerchief alone. He was waiting when the crowd returned. Carol went to him at once. "I brought you the prettiest stone I could find on the top," she said. "I thank ye thank ye kindly!" the old man answered; and then, his eagerness conquering, "Are ye sure ye saw me?" "Sure." Carol answered. "You were standing right on this corner; the others were on the stcp3." The old man's face was almost radiant. Some one had watched for him for him! That was the way It began the old man's happy summer. Presently a few others fell into the hauit of stopping a minute or two to ten nim or tneir trips: and when they had a "stripping bee," at Carol's suggestion he was in vited. It did not trouble him that he oould not hear; It was happiness enough to be doing something with other people. His old, trembling fingers fumbled eagerly over the fragrant fir. Juliet did not wholly like- It. "You mustn't let grandfather bother," she told Carol. "He doesn't," Carol answered, quietly. "It Isn't a bother; it's a pleasure." A month after she reached home Carol received a package and a note. The package contained an old medal. The note was from Juliet. "Poor grandfather left us last week." Juliet wrote. "He wasn't ill; he Just fell asleep one night and did not wake again. Afterward, we found this old school medal marked with your name. You won't care for It, I know, but I send it for his sake.

WALSH. .V Typical Snrremifnl Iriahman, Who Made Millions Here. "The best thing about Tom Walsh Is that he never forgot he was an Irishman," Is the way a toastmaster once referred to the tact and gfaciousncss of Thoraas R. Walsh, whose spectacular career as a millionaire mine owner closed with his death in Washington. From a millwright fresh from Tlpperary County with only $30 in his pocket, he won so many millions from his mlnr.s in the West that he was consulted In business matters by King Leopold, the recently deceased King of Belgium who was known as "the royal rake." The promoter's personality is shown in the story he once '.y-m;.j-lk. A ... '"; :. ,:tiO "mi r- ..:.:.- r Iff V-R, .ii'itoi.'iAj ' I told of how he was approached by j Leopold would like to have him take c harre there. Of coiu-se. I knew ho nicr.nt me and that I'd have to invest in something I didn't know anything about. So I told Leopold then that if I were to make any further investments I would prefer my own State, where I know what things are." But afterward Leopold came to Walsh r.gain and they became interested in some mining ventures in Colorado. Walsh made and lost a couple of fortunes before good huk finally stuck and made him one of ;he biggest figures in the mining world. Ills first .

was exemplified In his chauce discovery of the Camp kird mine In the San Juan basin for wkh he afterward refused an offer of $35,000,000 and which netted him more than a million a year for a long time. His social success at Newport and Washington was accomplished partly by his wife, who was Miss Carrie Head, and by his daughter .Evelyn, who w as married not so long ago to Edward McLean, son of John It. McLean, proprietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer. They were responsible for the lavish and wonderful entertainments given at his three houses in Connecticut, Denver and Washington. The residences themselves were furnished with the prodigality and richness of the royal palaces of Europe. And the hospitality dispensed therein was on a truly royal scale, commensurate with the enormous fortune estimated at $50,000,000 which Mr. Walsh had accumulated. Perhaps his greatest social achievement wa3 that which began the Walshes' social career in 189?, when he was appointed commissioner for Colorado to the Paris Exposition. He chartered a boat on the Seine, spent over a million in decorating it and then proceeded to give entertainments to the rich and gay Parisians. They accepted him at once and it was these series of entertainments that led to
T .r. -I. mit - v .v.:x' -' -jW MEANS OF EGGS. the introduction of the family to the King of Belgium. After a period of this sort of pleasure, Walsh was glad to get back to his mining and farming he was a farmer, too, and knew about all there was to bo known about irrigation. It was for this knowledge that he was appointed a member of the American Academy for the Advancement of the Sciences, the Washington Academy of Science and the National Geographical Society.

HOUSE OF CEMENT. Maine 31 au Made Hiinaelf a Home After an Entirely Aew Pattern. In Belfast, Me., there is a house, built by Frank Hoag, believed by the builder and citizens of that place to be the only one of the kind oh earth. Aside from the blasting and digging for the cellar, the house was built by Mr. Hoag himself. The entire outside, the Boston Globe says, is of cement, the mixing of the component parts being undertaken after long study of the subject. Mr. Hoag finished the inside of the house first. This being done, he lathed the whole outside with wire screen stuff, such as is used for fencing chicken pens. This was firmly fastened. The studding was close, anä when the wire wa3 on it gave a rigid surface on sides, ends and the slopes of the roof. Over thl3 layer of wire he spread a first coat of cement. It was well pressed on. so that it oozed through the meshes of the wire for a clinching hold. When this first coating was thoroughly set another and a heavier one was spread over the surface. Shingle effects were fashioned on the gables, and on the roof the cement was shaped and lined, to give an appearance of slating. Then over the whole outside was laid a finishing veneer of cement paint. The house Is its tight as a bottle. It is impervious to heat or cold, or leak of rain; and. as Its foundation is a solid ledge, It can defy the frost to wrestle with it. Mr. Hoag says the cost of building was about the same as vooden construction would have been, but he says there is no great number of repairs. l.KtleM Father.
