SUSPICIONS.
The train from Namur lumbered heavily into the station at Melreux and wakened into momentary life its sleepy stagnation. About half a dozen passenW gers alighted, among whom was a tall, [V bronzed -Englishman. His searching glance warmed into a smile of pleasure as he strode hastily toward a Belgian t' gentleman who rushed to greet him with outstretched arms. With a string I of questions the Belgian led the way into the station yard, where an English dogcart was waiting. They got in and Vi away they dashed in a cloud of white x^dtist toward the little village of Dur-
buy. After half an hour's brisk run they rattled noisily through the village and drew up before a pair of massive I wrought iron gates. The house lay at the farther end of a short avenue of -elms, along which they drove smartly.
As the Belgian alighted a clock chimed musically. "A quarter to 12," said he. "You will just have time to get rid of your travel stains before lunch." "Yes, M. Barvaux, I should like to make myself rather more presentable before meeting the ladies," replied his friend, Jack Hague. In less than ten uiiiiutes he was once more spick and /^span, and as he went down stairs he found M. Barvaux awaiting him. As they entered the morning room in which lunch" was to be served they were greet«d by a couple of ladies, whom M.
Barvaux introduced as his wife and her niece, Mile. Richert. The charming manner of his host soon made Jack perfectly at home. M. Barvaux spoke English quite fluently, and was rather proud of his accomplishment, but Jack was rather shy with his French at first, although the kind way in which the girl helped him over his difficulties enabled him to get along smoothly enough. Bftt he found it much more pleasant to listen than to talk, and when MJle. Richert began to speak of her love for the Ardennes he instantly became all eyes and ears.
It was quite a jolly little lunoheon party, but amid tbe pleasantness there was something whioh Jack could not understand. Ever and anon the girl appeared abstracted and seemed to be watohing M. Barvaux with a look of deep anxiety, and once when his wife placed her arm round the girl's neok affectionately Jaok thought he perceived an expression of mingled hate and fear on the face of the Belgian as he gazed under his heavy eyebrows at the girl. At first Jaok put it down as merely his fancy, but further observation convinced him that there was something wrong.
The days sped by all too quickly. Pishing in the Ourthe, whioh ran olose by, or long rambles in the woods, gathering bilberries, occupied the hours of daylight, and in the evenings Jack sat* as though under a spell while Mile. Richert sang dainty old French love songs or extemporized dreamy melodies on the piano.
But still the jarring note which had Btruck Jack disturbed the pleasant harmony, and as day followed day his first auspicious were confirmed and intensified. However, be could discover no intelligible explanation of the numberless trivial incidents which, had not his attention been roused, would have entirely escaped him. All he could be certain about was that his host unmistakably manifested a strange antipathy toward his niece. This, however, did not prevent Jack and the girk from becoming close friends, and it seemed, at least to M. Barvaux, that their friendship was rapidly ripening intp & much stronger feeling. Jack felt that his host was displeased at the turn of affairs, and he was therefore not very muoh surprised when M. Barvaux, seizing a suitable opportunity, asked him point blank what wero his feelings toward the young lady. He replied with perfect frankness that he was over head and ears in love with her. "Ah, my friend," replied M. vaux, "I am very sorry for you. I should have warned you earlier." Sink ing his voice to a hoarse whisper^J»e continued, "She is a murderess."
Jack stared at him in amazement Had he suddenly taken leave of his senses? No, he seemed perfectly rational, although very agitated. In an excited voice he went on to describe how the girl was trying to poison him. Jack came to the conclusion that his friend was the victim of a hallucination and resolved to humor him.
But she is so devoted to your wife," said he. "Yes, and that is why I dare not speak. My wife thinks Angeline is a: angel, and I am afraid to say anything
On the next evening, the last one of Jack's stay, he was sitting in an easy chair among the window curtains when suddenly he heard the soft sweep of a woman's dress in the room. .• He turned And saw a figure in white. "Angeline,'' was on his lips, andbe was about to spring to his feet wncn he saw something which turned him to Eton©. She was standing at the sideboard with a thick green glass vial, the contents of which she was pouring into the decanter of wine specially reserved forM. Barvaux.
His host's suspicions were, then, ear* tect. Oh, tbe horror of it h« loved a poisonerl He couia scarcely better* his senses, but after what M. Bar
vaux had told him doubt seemed no longer possible. The girl left the room as quietly as she had entered, closing the door as though afraid of being heard. Jack rushed to^he sideboard. He unstoppered the decanter. Yes, there was certainly a Ftrange smell, which was not that of wine. What should he do— call Angeline and accuse her on the spot? He*could' not. Should he tell his host? Should he pour away the poisoned wine? Should he— But before he could make up his mind M. Barvaux, looking rather pale and disturbed, walked in from the garden, and as he did so his wife and Angeline entered the room, and dinner was served. The girl was dressed in white, and a couple of glorious red roses gleamed in her black hair. Never before had she seemed so beauti ful to Jack. He asked himself if it were possible that so divine a creature could nurse thoughts of murder in her soul. But he could not forget what he had just witnessed, and he resolved to be on his guard and prevent M. Barvaux drinking the wine.
Supposing, after all, he were to be wrong, how could he face the girl he loved after accusing her of such afoul and unnatural deed? He was too agitated to eat, and he observed that both M. Barvaux and Angeline seemed also preoccupied and ill at ease. At length he managed to make his host understand that he was not to touch the wine. The Belgian smiled with an almost sardonic expression and eyed Angeline curiously. Presently he raised the decanter and leaned over the table, looking at her the while with his deep set black eyes. "Allow me, Angeline, "he said, "to pour you out a glass of wine." :5#jgg| "No—no thank you," stammered the girl in an agitated manner. "Come—I insist. I will take no refusal," he cried, springing to his feet and filling her glass. The girl turned pale as death and seemed to lose her power of self will. Half mechanically she took the glass of wine and raised it to her lips. She emptied it at one gulp, and then sank back in her chair, where she lay still and white. With a ory of terror Mme. Barvaux rushed to her assistance, but her husband commanded her not to touch the girl. Jaok was on .his feet in an instant, but was too bewildered to know how to act. With a sickening sense of the confirmation of his worst suspicions he concluded that the.girl was poisoned, and off he rushed for the doctor. By good fortune he ran across the very person he was seeking.
In a few words he told him his errand and implored him to return with him at all haste. "It is a matter of life and death," he oried. "Let us run.". "Certainly, if you wish it, "replied the doctor, "although I may tell you matters are not so serious as you imagine. "But"— "Permit me to explain, monsieur. The young lady is not poisoned at all, as you will see. The wine she drank was intended for M. Barvaux, was it not?" "Yes, I believe so." "Well, you must know that he is subject to periodical fits of homicidal madness, and Vrhen these attacks are coming on it becomes necessary to administer powerful opiates to him without his knowledge. The paroxysm passed, he is once more the calm and oultured gentleman you know, but at times he is very dangerous, and but ior my treatment it xwrild probably become necessary to put him under restraint. I was just about to pay my customary visit tonight when you met me, for I was expecting an outbreak."
Jack was relieved beyond measure on hearing the doctor's story, but the thought that he had left the girl he loved with a man subject to homicidal mania moderated his feelings of satisfaction, id, ar£ious to get back to assure himself of her safety, he tore away from the doctor, for he felt that, if an attaok suddenly manifested itself in M. Barvaux, Angeline, as being the person wha had raised his suspicions, would probably be the first victim of his mad rage
Indeed he arrived none too soon, Mme. Barvaux was crouohing in an agony of terror at the feet of the unconscious girl, while her husband was standing over tbem gesticulating wildly. Jack speedily overpowered him, and a few minutes afterward the doctor arrived, whose presence had a wonderfully soothing effect on the unfortunate gentleman. Under the doctor's care Angel ine soon recovered, but both she and Mme. Barvaux were very much upset and were glad when Jack decided to stay a few *ays
longer. They were days
af infinite happiness for bbth him and Bai^Y Angeline, and when at length his stay oame to its end the Brussels express bore away a reluctant but very happy man, to whose ears the rhythmio rumble of the wheels seemed to say, "Angeline, Angeline, Angeline!"—London

A Minister's Invention.
The Very Rev. Dean H. Martyn Hart of St John's cathedral, Denver, is said to have perfected an invention which is calculated to revolutionize the rubber trade. Napier Ford discovered a method of oxidizing oils, and when he died in London two years ago he handed his /ention to Charles Griest, who made improvements in it and then turnover to Dean Hart The dean, who is an expert chemist, worked or it for months, and finally made it valuable commercially. The business end of the process was turned over to Dr. John Gower, who went to London and organized a company for its manufacture. The new substance is called perchoid. It will cost only about 5 or 6 cents a pound. Dean Hart will go to Washing* ton to see about the patents.—Exchange.

''Ladies," said the chairman of the meeting of the Woman's Advanced Thought and Practical Experience club, "this meeting, I believe, was announced to be a symposium on the subject of 'Apartment House Nuisances.'
There was a murmur of assent and approval, and from the way every woman in the hall straightened up it was evident that there wasn't one of them who didn't feel that she had something of importance to say on the subject. "I hope," continued the chairman, "that we will be able to get -through this afternoon, but it is unquestionably a most comprehensive subject, and, with your permission, I will undertake to divide it so that we can take up one feature at a time." "So lovely!" "Just the thing!" and "How nice!" came from various parts of the hall. "I would suggest that we first take up the landlord, as he"—
Cries of "Mean thing!" "Promised n^a porcelain bathtub a year ago!" "Won't paper the hall!" etc. —"is one of the greatest of flat building evils. After disposing of him, I think perhaps the janitor"—
Cries of "Disobliging creature!" "Freezes us to deathl" "Absolutely insulting!" etc. —"should claim our attention. We all can speak with deep feeling on this branch of the subject, and possibly we may find it necessary to limit discussion of it. Then I would suggest that we group children and dogs"—
Cries of "The pets!" "Darlings!" "Dirty creatures!" "Noisy youngsters!" etc.^-^' i&p "and close with a discussion of flat building gossips, the most troublesome and notorious of their kind."
There was a dead silence as she ceased speaking. The women looked at each other in a bewildered sort of way, and th'n almost as one person they got up and moved toward the door. "Personalities should be barred," said one as she angrily marched out. "I never was so insulted in all my life," said another.
And thus the chairman was left alone. —Chicago Post. ?-4j,
An Enemy of Humanity.
There are probably few persons of mature years who have not read the story of the man who put the sick beggar upon his best horse in order to take him to his home and friends. The beggar suddenly recovered his strength and rode off with the horse that was the pride of the desert and the fortune of his owner. The man called after the thief and begged him to halt for a moment. Safe from pursuit, he did so, when his benefactor implored him never to tell how he obtained the horse, as the incident, if known, might stand in the way of relief of some honest beggar who sought charity by the wayside. Although it is claimed that t^e story is a very old one, it is just as applicable to our time as it was when the affair occurred.
It is the professional beggar who maues the most terrible suffering possi ble to those who are Coo proud, too honest or too timid to ask for what they need.—New York Ledger.
A Cemetery Story From Maine, fjsfc In a quaint old cemetery at Bass Harbor, Me., lies an aged couple who were noted in their life for their piety and their active interest in meetings and other good works. The old gentleman In his exhortation would often speak of wearing the crown, while the old lady often spoke of blossoming as the rose. After the tombstones had been erected at their graves with their names and ages duly chronicled thereon there appeared on his tombstone distinctly outlined the figure of a crown, while on hers appeared the figure of a full blown rose. The fact is well authenticated by many people who have visited the cemetery on purpose to see this wonderful sight—Deer Isle Gazette.
When Bedlam Was Heaves. A highlander had visited the capital of Scotland, and on his return to his "native hills" astonished his companions by telling them what he had seem and dora there. "Dugald Macpherson an me,he said, "gaed doon to Luckie McNab's, in the Canongate, to meet some o' oor auld freens there. When we gaed in, there w$s anither ten or a dizsen beelenmen there, an they a' had their pipes wi' them. After we had aaen a crack for awhile somebody proposed a tune. Wi' that we a* shoulthered our pipes an began to play different tunes. Mem, it was bonnie. I just thocht I was ia heeven!''—London Telegraph.

Particularly Patient.^i1-
"Patience, my dear, patience," said Harkins blandly to his wife one morning at the breakfast table when she spoke a trifle sharply to one of the children for dropping, his bread, buttered side down, on the cloth. "You know that accident.* will happen, and we were children ourselves once. I'm sure that Bertie didn't mean to—great Jupiter! There goes Harold's glass of milk all over my new trousers. If I don't—oh, you'd better skedaddle from the table, young man. It beats everything. Get a cloth, somebody, and clean up this mess. It beats thunder that a man can't sit at his own table without being tormented and bespattered as I am every time I try to eat a meal under my roof. Look at these trousers—absolutely and utterly ruined. Just wait till I get hold of ttfhi. boy. Just wait till I lay hands on him, and I'll teach him how to deliberately throw.a glass of milk over a guinea pair of trousers. Don't tell me that he didn't mean to do it. He came to the table with the intention of doing it, and I— X—well, you'll see what I'll do when I get hold of him."—Strand Magazine.
"jsg A Spirit Joker. Several years ago a certain Cleveland photographer made a specialty of "spirit" photographs and built up quite a trade in them. One day a solid looking sitizen entered the gallery. "Sir," he said to the photographer, want my picture taken with my mother's. She died in the old country a few days ago."'" "Very well, sir," said the man of jam eras, "take a seat."
He posed the stranger and photo-
Ee
aphed him and told him to call for finished article on a certain day. Of course the simple operation of double printing brought out a shadowy face beside that of the stranger, the effect being increased by the dim ghastliaess of the faint impression.
Promptly on time the man came back and was shown the picture. "Ah," he instantly said, "that isn't my mother." "Isn't it?" said the photographer as he slanted the portrait so as to catch the light at a different angle. "No, it isn't." "Strange," said the artist. "But it sometimes happens. The spirits have their tricks and their little games just like mortals, and I suppose some old spirit lady is trying to fool us. You don't recognize the likeness at all, eh?" 'Tisn't that," said the man. "What is the trouble then?"
The man hesitated. "Well, you see," he said, "the pioture ain't no use to me now."
Why not?'' inquired the photographer. 'Cause I got a letter from my sister this morning saying that it was all a mistake about mother dying. She was just lying in a swoon, and now she is almost well again."
The photographer kept his face straight by a violent effort. "That's all right," he said. "Some oonfounded spirit has put up a job on ns. You needn't take the picture. Good day."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Stevenson and His Morse.
^Alison Cunningham, Robert Louis Stevenson's old nurse, was much beloved by him, and he sent her a copy of each of his books, with his own inscription on the fly leaf. Generally the inscription is just a line or two, "Alison Cunningham, from her boy," or "from her laddie." But one of the volumes, "An In* land Voyage" (1878), contains the following
MY DEAR CUNNING—If you had not taken so muoh trouble with me all the years of my childhood, this little book would never have been written. Many a long night you sat up with me when I was ill. I wish I could hope, by way of return, to amuse a single evening for you with my little book. But, whatever you may think of it, I know you will continue to think kindly of the author.
