MAHATMAS' MESSAGE

In the deepening twilight of an autumnal evening Doris Shirley paced to and fro beneath the trees, awaiting,with feelings of doubt and uncertainty the issue of the most momentous event of a maiden's lifetime—the interview between her lover and her parent. At the sound of advancing footsteps she paused, and as a manly figure reachcd her sido it needed but one glance at his face to tell that his mission had been one of failure. "He has refused?" she queried. "Yes, love, absolutely and without hope." "Did ho say why ho would not consent?" "He said that you are aware that his wishes run in another direction."

Then the daughter's heart rose in hot rebellion against her sire, and her eyes flashed fire as sho cried: "Ho wants mo to marry Joshua Bentworth because he's a theosophist, but 1 will not, so there He Is nearly double my age, and I hate him. Ever since father embraced theosophy ho has been quite a different man. His whole heart and soul are in it, and everybody and everything must bo subservient to his creed. Marry Joshua! Never!" And then in softer tones, "You know, Sydney, in 18 months I shall bo of ago, and then"— "Eighteen months, pet—what a long, long time to wait!" "Is it not better than novcrP Well, if you do not care to wait, wo will say 'goodby' now." And she held out her hands, pretending to bo offended. The result was, of course, as sho anticipated. Sho found herself encircled by hor lover's strong arms, whilo Jsissca of contrition greeted her brow. "Wait, darling? I would wait 20 \car-», but I could not live without hearing from or seeing you, and your father forbade me to do either after this last interview." And then, as in thousands of similar prohibitions, flu plotted as to the ways and meant* by which they might hold communication unknown to tho antagonistic parent.

A week passed away. It seemed like month to Doris, and sho wondered how she could endure 18 months like it. Iler father had told her of his interview with •Sydney, and requested that tho subject might never bo mentioned again, and Doris had given him to understand that under no circumstances would sho marry any one else. And now a week had inmsod— seven long, weary days—without hearing from or serin Sydney, and poor Doris, driven to desjwratlon, had been wondering how she might best broach the subject to her futhcr and try to induce him to reconsider his decision. But the task seemed hopeless she felt that sho might as well appeal to a stone wall as to his stubborn will. Was there no way but to wait?

Mr. Shirley was sitting in the big armchair in his own particular sanctum, generally referred to as tho "study,' and letting* his thoughts run riot. First, they flitted hero ami there over various phases of his new hobby, and then, taking a sail der tone, conjured up the vision of his only elUUl, whose dearest wish he had refused. Why was she so self willed? There was Joshua, well provided with worldly goods, hail fellow well met with every tone, and, above all, a brother theosophist Why could not the girl be satisfied with her fat her "s choice? Then tho truant thoughts pictured Sydney Wallace as cor tilnly the letter looking of the two, nearer Doris' age, a man of energy and excellent character, but—and there wna the rub—he had been so openly and audaciously honest AS to express his disbelief In the manifestations of theosophy, and so ho had sailed his fate.

It was now quite dark and Mr. Shirley rose from his seat, lighted tho gas, drew down the blind and locked the door. It was his custom to spend his evenings alone with his books, and reaching a volume from its shelf ho drew his chair to the table and was noon absorbed in new mystifications, theoretical and Impracticable.

After muling for some time he came upon a marginal note giving reference to another work which necessitated a visit to tho bookshelves at tho other end of the room. He soon found tho passage referred to and was about to resume his seat, when ho uttered an exclamation of surprise and oast a frightened glance round the room. There, on the pages of the book open where ho had been reading, was something which was not there when he left the table—a little roll of paper. With quivering hands And beating heart he picked it up and unrolled it. Apparently the paper was of foreign manufacture, and the characters on It, although English, did not seem to bo inscribed with any of the materials in common use in this country. With indescribable feelings of wonder and awe he read:

Coercion Is abhorrent to oa. Vex thy offspring no longer. It is our command. Tibet, Aug. 24.

A message from the inahaimns in fiurofl? Tibet and 0at«d that very day! Gould thews be trickery? ho wondered, and to place the matter beyond tho shadow of a doubt he made an exhaustive examination of the room and Its contents. The window was fastened, tire door locked and the chimney dosed, and there was no other opening in the walls. Continuing the search on his hands and knees, under the tabic, chairs and coach, ho covered every square inch of the carpet and then rose, convinced that the room contained no living tiling besides himself. And there on the table lay the Indisputable evidence that time, spaoo and brick walls were as nothing to a mahatma. Was there ever inch a charitable creed that the innermost circle should Interest Itself on behalf of one who had openly expressed his opinion lhat such manifestations were "bo*!*?"

T1»© next meeting of the theosophhte, before whom Mr. Shirk? detailed the cir

fp-'.

cumstance and produced the evidence, unanimously agreed that his bodily health and perhaps his very life might be imperiled if he still persisted in opposing the wishes of his masters. They Implored and abjured him to relent and worked on his feelings to such an extent that he went home impressed with an awful sense of some impending doom, some terrible calamity that was about to burst on his offending head-

Meanwhile the situation had become as unbearable to Sydney as it had to Doris, all their plans for communicating having so far failed, the natural course of events having taken a turn for which no provision had been made. A love so intense as his could stand the separation no longer. That very afternoon he would go boldly to the house and ask to see his beloved her father might say or do as he pleased. The resolution once formed, he was in a state of feverish impatience to put it into practice. He would start at once. And start he did, wondering what reception he would receive at the hands of her parent and hoping that he might not be invested with the order of the boot. But Providence had prepared for him a surprise, one of those kaleidoscopic changes which ever make the "best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley."

Scarcely had he reached the gate when a telegraph boy ran up and handed him a message. Sydney's first thought, of course, was Doris—then, some dire disaster. As soon as his impatient hands had ripped off tho covering ho read:

Come at once in friendship. RICHD. SHIRLEY. An invitation from the very man whom he had been mentally picturing as kicking him out of the house! "Say I'll bo there like a shot," he said to the astonished messenger, then recollecting himself, "No answer," and the next instant he was speeding to the station to catch the train then duo. His reception surprised him as much as the telegram. He was welcomed at the thrbshold by Mr. Shirley and taken into the study, his host beaming with the very essence of affability. After a few preliminary "haws" and vicious clearings of the throat Mr. Shirley addressed him thus: "In refusing your ardent request for the hand of my daughter I believed that I was acting in the best interests of my only child. I know nothing against you—indeed much to your advantage—but the principal reason that induced me to take the course that I did was your openly expressed disbelief of matters of which you could not possibly be a judge. Young man, read that J" And with a dramatic flourish he handed him the message.

After minutely detailing the circumstances of its arrival he continued: "In compliance with the command therein expressed I have sent for you, tp give my consent to your union with my daughter, and I am not without hope that the mysterious message you have before you may be tho means of converting you by its tangible existence and the forgiving naturo of Its contents."

Sydney gazed at tho paper bewildered, speechless. This was a complete floorer. "Well, now. go to Doris. Sho awaits you in tho drawing mom. Leave tho paper here. It is too precious to trust out of my sight. I have to go out now on business, but if you give mo a call, say, tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock, I shall be prepared to discuss matters with you."

It is needless to attempt to describe t)-* rapturous meeting of the reunited lovers. Those rejulors who have experienced such blissful moments can picture it for themselves, and thoso who have not may rest assured that to them tho gates of paradise still stand unrevealcd.

Tho next evening Sydney kept his appointment with Mr. Shirley, whoso exuberant delight seemed to show that a hoavy load had fallen from his mind.

Then ho would go through tho incidents of the mysterious arrival again, taking Sydney by the arm and leading him round the room, all the while explaining how matters stood on the eventful night.

You see, tho gas was alight, just as it is now, and tho window was fastened— look at it cannot be opened from tho outside—and the blind was drawn right down liko this. Tho only other means of ingress Is tho door, locked. Ah, I have not locked it!" And as he spoke ho shot the bolt. A tho same instant a loud "ting" caused both men to spring round and rush to the table. There, floating on tho liquid In one of the glasses, was another tiny roll of paper. Shot from somewhere, it had evi dently struck the glass, making it ring. Unfolded, tho contents ran: "It is well. We are. satisfied." Again from Tibet and tho date tho current day It was with very different feelings that the two men gassed at the piece of paper. Mr. Shirley's face bore a calm expression which told of a thankfulness that danger was past and that he felt once more at peace with his masters, whilo Sydney stood aghast in tho presence of tho unfathomable, his hair bristling on his head and teeth chattering from very fear. At lost ho could bear It no longer, and flinging open the door he rushed out, nor paused until he found himself outside tho front door in the pure night air, with tho canopy of heaven and tho twinkling stars above him. 1

A train is throbbing swiftly northward, bearing among its passengers two that have that day been made man and wife. The bridegroom sits absorbed in his thoughts, seeming oblivious of the fact that what should be all the world to him sits by his side. It is not that one deftly thrown slipper had made a bruise on his forehead nor that sundry grains of rice had slipped down between his collar and his neck. What, then, was the cause? "What makes you ao quiet, dear?" asks the bride.

He starts as one called from another world. "I am bewildered, love. Those messngosi—how real and yet how very impossible! I cannot believe, and yet—there! I know not what to think.

Doris laughs a little, musical ripple, and then, laying her hand on his arm and nestling closer, she says: "Shall I explain the toiS-sici?, tows? I sent them." "You! How «mld you? The gas was locked, I mean the door—I—I—but you— how could you?" "I will tell you, but you must not let papa know. The paper came from India, wrapped round mm® presents that I had sent to me. The writing I did with my left hand with the moistened point of a stick of Ind an ftikn— "But the locked room!" interjected SydD^, "Then 1 rolled It up vet? small and Stood it upright on a projection of the chandelier, and fixed it there with a tiny bit of wax from a candle. When *he gas bad been alight a little while, the wax melted with the bent and down fell the manage with its own weight SIM:? But you will keep my secret from papa?"

As he nears the frail canoe he opens his blinking eyes, and after taking in the situation squares round and with his tail upsets the canoe or perhaps gives a downward flap and sweeps the darky into the water. But if the darky sees the alligator first a stroke or two with the oar will take him to the* shore. The alligator seldom pursues except the object of attack is in the water.

Cutting timber for shipment to the northern factories is a growing industry in the northern part of this state, and the waste lands on the bayous are becoming more valuable in proportion to the exhaustion of the northwestern timber belts. The trees on these bayous are heavily fringed with a beautiful variety of Spanish moss, which is gathered and oured and shipped north for the manufacture of mattresses, chairs, buggy cushions, etc. The bayous in the southern portion of the state are more heavily fringed with moss, and the industry is more lucrative there than it is in this section.

Many of the moss gatherers do not cultivate farms, but divide their time in hunting and fishing for the markets. So it will be seen that these strange Louisiana streams, the bayous, are not without their uses, Aid are sources of revenue to thousands of people.

LOUISIANA BAYOUS.-

Curious Bodie* of Water That Supply FUb, Fowl and Alligators. [Special Correspondence.]

BEXTON, North Louisiana, Oct. 25.— The Louisiana bayou is neither a river nor a creek, but is across between a lake and a pond. Bayou is a French term for a body of water that hes very little or no current and will run either way, up or down stream, according to the wind. The Louisiana bayou runs up stream, if its source may be so considered, about as often as it runs toward its mouth. The bayou is a sluggish body of water, whether it" is deep or shallow, but the absence of current is noticeable. Though the outlet of a lake, strictly speaking, it frequently empties into another, which it, in turn, serves as an outlet, emptying ijato the other. This is one of the peculiarities of the Louisiana bayou which

perhaps

does not exist

elsewhere in the United States. Bayous in the northern part of the state are uniformly narrow, with steep banks, and also have sluggish currents. The banks are so thickly lined with live oak and other trees of heavy foliage as fcp. »tfmost completely shade the stream a tnake it more inviting to the hunter the fisherman. These bayous also I^^Uive with ducks and fish also alligators, as the saurian is locally styled. Many farmers get their "meat supply" from the bayous, and when the cotton crop is short or the price very low the colored people rely solely upon the fish and fowl of the bayous, including an occasional opossum, and, of course, corn bread. The greatest discouragement to the colored mau's sport ea Jf

A LOUISIANA BAYOU.

is the alligator, which seems to take more delight in flopping a colored man into- the bayou than it does a white man. Yet the white sportsman is by no means secure if he ventures within striking distance. Almost as soon as a darky casts his line he goes to sleep while waiting for a bite. The alligator, who is basking in the sun upon a rotten log in the stream, will noiselessly roll off into the water and glide up to the oanoe with only a portion of his blaok head out of the water.

Wasted Indignation.

The man with the florid face and the bald head grew more and more uneasy as he sat at the restaurant table. He tried to read a newspaper, but every now and then would drop it, adjust his glasses and glare up and down the room to find the waiter to whom he had given his order. At last he managed to detain him, at the risk of being scalded by the soup he carried, and inquired*: "How about that dinner I ordered?" "It will be here immediately, sir," was the answer.

The guest tried to read his newspaper once more, but as time passed his uneasiness increased until he was glaring up and down the room as fiercely as ever. He found his waiter again, and the same conversation was repeated. After two or three more similar attempts be arose and went over to another waiter who was gracefully leaning against a pillar. f§|| "Look here, 7 said the guest, "I want to know something.1' "Yes," responded the waiter.* "What I want to know is this: Am I ever going to get any dinner, and, if I do get it, when will it be?"

The languid young mac looked at him and replied: "Excuse me. I'm afraid you have made a mistake. I am onlya waiter, not a prophet.''—Detroit Free Pres.

Too Much For the Dog.

A historian of the town of Athol, Mass., writing in The Transcript of that town, tells of an old citizen, Dexter Lee by name, who possessed the power of controlling, even of intimidating, animals. Mr. Lee was one of the most sunny and good humored of men, in whose presence eveu a quarrel was well nigh impossible. Yet he was absolutely fearless of either man or beast, and no animal dared to approach him with hostile intent.

One day a peddler, arrived in Athol with a valuable stock of silk in his wagon. A little crowd gathered about it, among whom was Dexter Lee. As the peddler moved about the place, from one store to another, without locking up his silk, Lee remarked to him: "I should think you would be afraid of being robbed with so costly a load." "No fear of that," said the peddler, laughing. "I have a guard in there who will protect the stock against anything.''

He pointed to a large bulldog of ferocious aspect who lay inside the wagon and who growled threateningly at the crowd. "Nonsense!" said Lee. "He wouldn't stand up against a man." "Wouldn't he? You'd better not go near him." 'I can scare him out of the wagon." "If you can, I will give you every yard of silk there is in it."

Lee said no more, but stepped back a little and drew his under lip between his teeth, which caused his wiry chin whisker to project into the air in an extraordinary and alarming manner. Then he fixed his eyes sharply on the dog and slowly approached the animal.

The bulldog watched him for a moment as if fascinated, but presently, when Lee made a little dive at him, the dog made a leap out of the wagon, and with a series of terrified howls bounded across the street and crouched there with his tail between his legs. Nor could his master induce him to come to him until the terrible man had gone to a distance.

A woman can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate her private troubles to a man—besides, a man does not understand—simply because he is a man.

Matty "women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they should have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probably examinations of even their family physician* It is unnecessary. Without money or price they can consult a woman, whose knowledge from actual experience is greater than any local physician living.

The following imitation is freely offered accept it in the same spirit. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to freely communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only, thus has been estaablished the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken and has induced more than 100,000 sufferers to write her for advice during the last four months. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the vei:y knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any womali rich or poor, is very foolish if she does nov take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.—Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass. —i

Sheets of Bank Notes.

A bank cashier in the west writes to us to say that bank notes are always supplied to the national banks, by the treasury department in sheets of four, not 12.

Our friend confers a further service by telling a little story. All the bank notes on a sheet bear the same number and are distinguished from one another by being lettered. The note at the top is "A," and the others are "B," and "D" in order. "An amusing incident," writes our correspondent, "occurred some years ago when I was acting teller in this bank. We had just issued some fresh, crisp bills, and one day a gentleman rushed in all out of breath to inquire if three bills that he had in his hand were good. When assured that they were, he said that he distrusted them because they were so new and because, when he laid them down, the little letters on the face of the bills read' A D,' as he showed by arranging them in that way, and he supposed they must be bad."— Youth's Companion.
