"LOONEY SAL."

Sarah Hutzen In N. Y. Graphic.,

None of the inhabitants of the little town could tell wby she was called

v"Looney

Sal." It could not have been

because of any mental defect, for none *such waa apparent in her. She was born

ex-

rattletraps in evidences

of senile decay. These were inhabited by the lowest of low wretches, all vagabonds by trade or profession, as you will. No one asked who her parents were, and had such an inquiry been made no one -could have answered it. "Granny 8mith's

Den,"a low rumhole,

«coul4 hardly be called Sal's home—it was more of of a place where she was allowed to exist in compensation for the fruits of her skill at petty larceny, the inevitable whenever she visited any of the merchantile establishments. At night she edifled the gathering at 'Granny Smith's by songs and dances, and the words of the former were usually Indecent paraphrases of the popular eongs of the day.

Her wakeful nights could but produce extrenie sleepiness during the day, and it was no rare eccurrence to see Sal stretched in slumber on the open meadow for many hours during the afternoon.

These odd habits, associated with the airl's other pecnllarities, made her an object ef curiosity as well as of dread to the school children. The young ones in obedience to their paront's commands, made a wide circuit about the open space in which Sal spent her forenoons. The older ones were attracted to the spot— perhaps consdeus of approaching independence, perhaps only because of the curious signt of the black-locked, darkeyed girl as she lay stretcked upon her "see-saw" and gently rocked it up and 4down, as she hummed some weird song.

Whenever the boys came near enough to be noticed by her Bhe frightened tbem

off with fierce grimaces, which seemed to pursue them iu their flight to the sound of almost manlcal laughter.

Sal

had no friends or play men ts. What girl would have selected her

a com

panion, she who associated, only with Uhose who shone as disreputable among tbe outcasts of Shippenviile? Furthermore, her pugulistic powers was as dreaded by the boys as was her serulilous .language by the girls.

Sometimes, but rarely, a boy who vaunted bis bravery could be induced into coming within her reach, but then it was only through the process knewn to children as "daring." These efforts at a display of courage invariably prot* duced a very subdued boy, whose face .and garments could hardly De considered ornamental.

Ihe "big boy of the academy, Dick Allen, had "licked all of his classmates but two or three, and Sal, had conquered them. The other boys "dared" Dick to •engage in combat with Sal. but he, prompted by a species of manliness, declined to fight a girl. On being greeted vwith the inharmonious chant of "frald "(raid cat," he astounded bis companions by a proposition to secure the •girl's friendship within half an hour.

The doubts and deprecations which his playmate* uttered stimulated him to proceed at once to Sal's sunny spot. Of course his "chum," Will Barry, went with him. "Fellows, vou could just see that be went 'caaso he was dared," said Tom Sleevers when he recounted his observatlous, taken from behind a large rock. Will ttarrv played sharp he lust kept behind Dick, and Dick he mirched right up to Looney Sal's see-saw, and if be did look a little white, and if he did stand of—woll, so far that she couldn't blfl him in the eye—Dick he said, 'Hello Sal.' And what do yoo think Sal did? I expected to see Dick mauled—just chewed up. An' all you fellows know I'm Dick's friend—" "Oh, come now Tom, give it to us straight," one of the boys Interrupted «the juvenile modern Minnesinger "tell as what she did." "Well, nothing," answered Tom. "She just stopped her see-saw, looked up at Dick just as if he was a cat or something then she lay down agin, and working her see-saw she went on singin •See-saw, buck-a-me raw, folderol, dledaw.' Say fellows, thatgirl kin sing.

Golly, itjust—" "Oh, Tom, you're just foolln'" his comrade* cried "tell us all about it," "Well, ain't I tellin' yer? She just went on see-sswin' and singin' just aa if there wasn't no Dick nor no will. Then Will he gave Dick a shove to keep him from weakenin', and then Dick he sings

All of the scholars bad seen the bova running, followed by Sal they had obsetved her gleaming eyes they had seen her agile body fly after them over stile and atone had seen them approach the school, pasa over the threshold, rush upstairs Into the class room, and there, before the very eyes of the teacher, she threw her offenders to the floor, and with e*ch blow of bar Ultto cltocbw fists sbo biased: "Who jer call looney Who's looney, eh

When half an hour had elapsed he rets rued to the class-room and resumed bis lessons, bnt his manner, ever

as it was, seemed to have added to it an incomprehensible gravity, which appeared even sadness.

Sal did not go back to her hut, bnt walked to the back of the school and sat down on a block of stone. The day passed, yet she barely moved. None of the children stopped to see what had became of her she heard them leave the school, but did not stir. Evening came, a chilly raw evening. Sal drew her close to her body, wound her bare, bruised arms about them and crouched there, a frowsy, uncanny creature. "Teacher says forgive them fellers and don't steal. Be don't cuss me nor he

don't call me Looney Sal nuther. aez Sairey—Sairey—he, ha, ha!

Sairey. Ha, ha, ha—" Her laughter was interrupted by the coafoe croak of Granny Smith's voice, which asked: "Air ye crazy, Sal?"

Granny Smith way an indastrious person. While her seul and body,destroying v. ork at night would have more than justified her sleeping all day, she stole hours from her rest during which she stole all else that came within her reach, as she feigned to travel about in the guise of a ragpicker and beggar. Her way bome this day led bebiud the school house—a belatea "kept-in" child might be there it could be knocked down and robbed of a elate, if nothing else. "What air ye doin' else. "Nawtbin'," said Sal. Her defiant tone awakened the hag's ire. Her bony hands grasped and struck the girl, while ber hoarse, gutteral voice accompanied each blow with brief remarks, of which oaly the following will bear transcription: "Wagabone! Too lazv to dance, layer? I'll learn ye yerJr'

She helped Salon to the shanty kicks and blows and curses were the means employed. But they were of no avail though the boisterous, drunken audience called for Sal, she refused to dance and instead of her songs they heard heavy blows which fell upon a human body, but not a plaint was uttered. The assemblage were too low to even attempt a defense of the child.

Several day6 thereafter Sal's see-saw stood idle, and the store keepers of Hoboken did not have to bewail the loss of any of their merchandise. Sal was not seen anywhere, and no one inquired about ber.

The children as they went to school gave a glance at the see-saw. Sal was not on

nor the next day either. It

would be fun, aye,

quite

brave to destroy

the waif's only pleasure. The boys who wrecked the see-saw did not feel ijuite manly when they did it, but they had heard there parents say it were well to eradicate the miscreants of Shi

n,~

to destroy every vestige of the settlement. A ud then the Doys who made fire wood of Sal's see-saw, all of them bore marks of blows inflicted by her. Revenge is sweet.

The scholars were assembled in the large class room and sang their reverential morning hymn. The song ceased suddenly as a little, broned face appeared at one of the windows. A little tattered figure sat on the sill. "It's Looney Sal!" tbQ children screamed. Mr. Shepherd quietly approached the window and lifted the sash, and at the same time the quaint little body disappeared. She looked anxiously up at the window she bad so hurriedly left. The teaeber evidentlydid not see her. He had hardly drawu^n liis bead when she again climbed to the window. This time she need not press her face against the pane the saSh had not been closed. Her shadow fell upon the teacher's desk, but be appeared not to observe it. Sal cast a dubious glance at him, and then to sustain her anger threw a handful of small stones on the floor. "Is that you, Sarah?" His tone expressed neither reproof nor surprise it was a simple greeting. Sal might have expected this. She Dent through the open window and laughed rudelj I wur here before." "Is that so He looked upon her as if her conduct were eminently proper. "Did you wish to come in?" he asked invitingly.

Sal stared at him. Her defiant expression gave place to one of surprise. "What—me?"

The teacher nodded. "In tbar?" "Certainly, if you wish to." Sal sprang through the window "Goln* to sing?" she asked iiripfidently.

The teacher nodded and continued to turn the leaves of his book without looking at ber. "Page thirty-eight," he called to the boys, and then handed his open book to the little guest. "Will you sit down and sing with us?"

A peal of loud, coarse laughter was her only answer. As she laughed she struck her brown fists on her knees and roeked her body to and fro. Aa suddenly she ceased to laugh when she noticed the stern, expression on the teacher's face. She nung her head, twisted her fingers about and scratched the floor with her foot in a most embarrassed manner. "Can't read." she exclaimed suddenly as she looked into the ^teacher's face. He placed his hand on her bedrangled unkept bead. "That makes no difference, ohild: some of ns here are not good readers—that is why I road each verse of the hymn before we sing it."

She silently accepted the little stool that was offered her, and sat ever so still with downcast eyes as if she would not interrupt the full, deep voice of the man who sang. And then the room resounded with the clear voices of the children, as they were lifted in tuneful prayer. Sal did not stir. When the song subsided the sudden stillness seemed to awaken Sal as if from a dream. The teacher thought her cheek was moist. "Is there anything the matter with you, child

She shook ber head, quietly returned the book to him, and approached the door. "Kin I go out her®

He opened the door. "Did vou like our song, Sarah?" The habitually aggressive face looked piteous, and her great dark eyes glimmered.

They

were suflfased with tears.

She rapidly ornsbed the back of her hand over her eyes and ejaculted: "Them fellers bus'ed my see-saw. I cum here to bust them."

As harsh as her words were they con veyed an explanation for her presence, in which the c^Ud—perhaps unconsciously—expressed regret for her evil intention.

The streets were still and deserted. The peaceful little city seemed to have

old hag. "The kids bring the school money. Two dollars each of 'em. Makes near |300. New's yer chance. Send Sal up the lightnin' rod, and have her drop the rope-ladder. Shorty Kite up an' then—well, let's take a drink first."

She placed a bottle of vile whisky to her lips, and passed it to Dan, the pickpocket, the least valiant of the lot. Shorty took the bottle next, and, with a "here's luckin at ye," would have drainedit had not tbe old woman snatched it from him, exclaiming: "Hold on! No glttin' drunk aforehand."

Sal knew that she had to take part in robbing tbe schoolmaster's monthly roceipts. She arose rapidly and attempted to glide out of the room. Shorty and Granny Smith grasped ber, and the old beldam croaked: "Was goin' to skip, was yer? Iknowed it, ye preacher. You're in love with

feedin' ye, ye cat. IU learn ye—" "Hor on, Granny," said Dan the pickpocket, whose libations hsd stimulated him into a species of judgment, "stop beatin' an' and cursin' of her now when we've made the riffle kill ber if it suits ye sobody'H care."

The old bag swore that she would, and kicked the girl into the street. She continued to thump and kick her until the party arrived at the academy then she gave her a rope ladder, and as she ordered the child to climb up the lightningrod, hissed: "Git up to the window, open it and fasten the hooks into the sill. If ye makes the littlest noise to give us away, Shorty'11 be up after yer and he'll cut out yer lights and his'n too. Find the money an' nobody won't get hurt."

The child's hara face looked uneasy in the moonlight. In a trice she was on the sill, had opened the window, fastened tbe books, and dropped tbe ladder. Shorty was with her in a moment. They passed through the school room into tie teachers' sleeping apartment. Sal did not look at the man the exoitement of tbe adventure made the theft more attractive to her than all others had been. She found the cash-box and exultingly clasped it to her breast. "Thou shalt not steal—forgive those who sin against thee," murmured the teacher in his sleep.

Shorty clapped his hand on Sal mouth and stifled tbe cry she was about to utter. He grasped her and quickly dragged her from the room.

When they returned to the window he released her.

Yelp now, ye pup, an' I'll go back an cut his throat.'' Sal stood back as if to allow him to descend first. "Nov much, ye devil— you go first. I ain't goin' to leave yer here to yell."

Sal crawled toward the ground. Shorty followed, the frail ladder swinging and threatening to break. "Hurry aown,ye cat," said Shorty, when they were about midway between the window.and earth.

Below stood Granny Smith and Dan above her Shorty with his brightly gleaming knife. Her time had come she would not seal Horn the only being that had ever spoken a kind word to her. Before her Intent could be understood she had run up to Shorty, wrenched the knife from his hand, and cut one side ef tbe rope ladder. "Help! murder! thieves!" she screamed.

The instinct of sel f-preservation caused her to cling to the ladder, but the weight being thrown on one hook alone it tore through the wood of the sill and—a groan, a crash—and Shorty and Sal lay on the street. He shivered, seemed to choke and gurgle. Shorty was before a higher Judge than ever passed sentence on him on earth.

The noise had attracted a few belated wayfarers, and a moment later tbe schoolmaster came out with a lantern. "What is the matter He saw the bodies. "Are they badly hurt?" 8ome one answered, "Shippenviile thieves. Good for them. Why, here's Looney Sal—got her deserts at last." "Ob, no I am sure sbe did not intend amy wrong," said the teacher as be lifted her little head. She looked at him with a smile, and when his expression assured her that sbe would be bolleved, gasped, "Teacher—I wouldn't hook nothin' from—yer—yer is good to me—" "Don'tspeak, poor child. I know you would not." He looked upon her suffering, quivering form. "I'd like ter go to school," she breathed. He took her in his arms and carried her into the same class-rooni into which she had intruded but a few days before. "Had we not better send for a surgeon?" asked one of the good-natured neighbors whom the noise had attracted. "Too late, my friend," said the teacher "the end is approaching."

Ai n't—der—goi n'—der—be-n o-sing-in?" Sal sighed. Immediately the young man's voice, strong and full, rose in the hymn of praise that the class had sung the morning that Sal first went to school. Sbe faintly sung the melody with him, and towara the end of tbe song her voice -rew fainter and fainter until it was reuced to a mere whisper. "Sarah—poor child!" The young man beat over her as lie anxiously called her. She opened her eyes and smiled at him. "More singin',*' she gasped. He complied with her request in a ehoked voice. And as the glimmering dawn came in through the window the bruised little body moved no more.

ANTI-FAT.

Hdi-

A LOVE STORY.

Dr. Dio Lewis.

A very fat young woman came to my office and asked to see me privately. When we were alone ahe said: "Are you sure no one can overhear us?" "Quite sure." "You won't laugh at me, will you "Madam, I should be unworthy of your confidence if I could be guilty of such rudeness." "Thank you, sir but no one ever called upon you on suoh a ridiculous errand. You wont think me an idiot, will you?" "I beg of you to go on." "You don't care to know my name or residence "Certainly not, if you care to conceal them." "I have called to consult you about the trangest thing in the world. I will tell you all. I am twenty-three years old. When I ws8 nineteen I weighed one hundred and twenty two pounds now I weigh two hundred and nine I am all filling up with fat. I can hardly breathe. The best young man that ever lived loves me, and has been on the point of asking me to marry him but of course he sees I am growing worse all the time and he don't dare to venture. I can't blame him. He is the noblest man in the world, and could marry any one he chooses. I don't blame bim for not wishing to unite himself to such a great tub as I am. Why, doctor, you don't know, how fat I am. I am a sight to behold. I know you have studied up all sorts of curious subjects, and I thought you might be able to tell me bow to get rid of this dreadful curse."

She had been talking faster and faster, and with more and more feeling (after the manner of fat women, who are always emotional), until she broke down in hysterical sobs.

I inquired about her habits—table and otherwise. She replied: "Oh. I starve myself I don't eat enougn to keep a canary bird alive, and ret I grow fatter and fatter all the time, don't believe anything can be done for me. We all have our afflictions, and'I suppose we ought to bear them with fortitude. I wouldn't mind for myself, but it 's just breaking his heart if it wasn't for him, I could be reconciled."

I then explained to her our nervous system, aad the bearing certain conditions of ene class of nerves has upon the deposition of adipose tissue. I soon saw she was not listening, but was mourning ber sorrow. Then I asked her if she would be willing to follow a scription I might give hsr.

Willing? willing?" she cried. "I would be willing to walk through fire, er te have my flesh cut off with red hot knives. There is nothing I would not be willing to endure if I could only get rid of this herrlble condition."

I prepared a prescription for her, and arranged that sne should call upon me once a week, that I might supervise her progress, and have frequent opportunities to encourage her. The prescription which I read to her was this:

First: For breakfast, eat a piece of beef or mutton as large as your hand, with a slice of white bread twioe as large. For dinner, the same amount of meat, or, if preferred, fish or poultry, with the same amount of farinaceons or vegetable food in the form of bread or potato. For supper, nothing.

Second Drink only when greatly annoyed with thirst then a mouthful of lemonade without sugar.

Third: Take three times a week some form of bath in which there shall be immense perspiration. The Turkish bath is best. You must work, either in walking or some other way, several hours a day. "But, Doctor, I can't walk my feet are sore." "I thought that might be the case, but if tfce soles of jpur shoes are four inches broad, and are thick and strong, walking will not hurt your feet. You must walk or work until you prespire freely every day of the week. Of coarse you are in delicate health with little endurance but as you have told me that you are willing to do anything, you are to work hard at something six or seven hours every day."

Fourth: You mast rise very early In the morning, and retire late at night, uch sleep fattens people.

Fifth: The terrible corset which yo« bad on, which compresses the oenter of the body, making you look a great deal fatter than you really are, must be taken off, and you mi?st have a corset which aay dressmaker must fit to you —a corset for the lower part of the abdomen, which will raise this great mass and suDPort it.

"This is all the advice I have to give you at present. At first you willlose half a pound a day. In the first three months you will lose from twenty to thirty pounds. In six months, forty pounds. You will constantly improve in health, get over tfiis excessive emotion, and be much stronger. Every one knows that a very fat horse, weighing twelve hundred pounds, can be quickly redaced to one thousand pounds with,

gealth.

reat improvement to activity and It is still easier with a haman being. That you may know exactly what is being done, I wish you to be weighed write the figures in vour memorandum, and one week from now. when you come again, weigh yourself and tell me how much you have lost."

I happened to be out of the city and did not see ber until her second visit, two weeks from our first meeting. It was plain when she entered that already her system was being toned up, and when we are again in the pri^te office she said: "I have lost six and a half pounds not quite as much as you told me, but sm delighted, though nearly starred. I have done exactly as you prescribed, and shall continue if it kills me. You must be very careful not to make any mistakes, fer I shall do last as vou say. At first tbe thirst was dresdful. I thought I could not bear it. But now I have very little trouble with that."

About four months after our meeting, this young woman brought a handsome young man with her, and after a pleasant chat, sbe said to me: "We are engaged hut 1 have told my friend that I shall not consent to become his wife until I have a decent shape. When I came to you I weighed two hundred and nine pounda I now weigh one hundred and sixty-three pounds. I am ten times as strong, sctive and healthy as I was then, and I have made up my mind for my friend has left it altogether to me, that when I have lost ten or fifteen pounds more, we shall aend yoa the invitations."

As the wedding day approached she brought tbe figures one hundred and fifty-two on a card, and exclaimed, with her blueeyea running over: "I am the happiest girl In tbe world! and don't you think I have honestly earned it? I think I am a great •teal happier than I should have been if I bad not worked for It."

"Not very. I am sure you wouldn't have thought it funny if you could have heard our first interview. It waa just the reverse of funny, don't you think so, madam ||*'I am sure it was the most anxious visit I ever paid any one. Doctor, my good husband says tbst he should have married me all the same, but I think he would have been a goose if he had." "Yes," said the husband, "it was foreordained that we two should be one." "To be sure it was," replied the happy wife, "because it was foreordained thatl should get rid of those horrid fifty seven pounds. 1 am going down till I reach one hundred and forty-pounds, and there I will

Don't suffer any longer with the pains and aches of Rheumatism, which make life a burden to you. Relief, speedy and permanent can be procuied at the nearest drug store, in the form of KidueyWort. Elbridge Malcolm of West Bath, Maine says: "i was completely prostrated with Rheumatism and Kidney troubles and was not expected to recover. The first dose of Kidney-Wort helped me. Six doses put me on my feet, it has now entirely cured me and I have had no trouble since."
