the harbor, which were many Of them

him. Paris, of course, denied that he
was guilty. Helen, he admitted, came
to Troy with him, but it was in order to
read the proof sheets of his Life ol
Prometheus." His expressions as to
nervousness in certain of his letters
were due to the fact that his father
the venerable Prim, had frequently been
troubled with deafness, while he himself
had for years believed that he was in
danger of receiving blow on the head
from cocoanut in case he should ever
visit the South sea Islands. As to the
rest Of his letters he could not at that
distance of time remember what they
meant but rather fancied they alluded
to an attack Of mea sles, from which his
little boyhood had suffered. In closing
his testimony he remarked that he con-
sidered Ajax liar and thief on gen.
eral principles, and informed him that
whatever he might say, no intelligent
trooper would believe him.
Now Ajax was-as Homar represented
him-one of the bravest of the brave
He was greatly incensed against Paris,
and proceeded to crush him by making
full statement Of the facts in the case
He published letters from Paris, from
his sister Cassandra-who knew him to
be guilty-and from numerous other
persons. The guilt of Paris was made
as clear as MONDAY, and thereupon the
troopers who we're investigating the mat
ter hastily brought in verdict to the
effect that, inasmuch as Menelaus and
Ajax had proved Paris guilty of
shameful crime, he was unqoestionably
innocent.
The report of the committee was fol-
lowed by general publication of state
ments on the part Of everybody. Ajax
and Menelaus each made new statements
more terrible than their original ones.
The Pythonesis who had been away on
a voyage to Egypt returned and made
weekly statement for three months with
ont intermission. Cassandra made her
statement claiming that Paris was limo.
cent because she had originally called
him guilty. Helen and her waiting maid
both made statements, but they were SO
full of impossibilities that they we're
hooted at. The mother of Helen made
her little statement, occupying forty
eight closely.written columns of the
Troy Wing, impartially calling every
body concerned in the scandal horse
thieves and drunkards, and ending with
request that some one would appoint
her brother Collector at Corinth. Pub
lie opinion, which at first had been some
what favorable to Paris, completely
changed. There was universal de-
mand that the man who had been the
cause of so many statements should die.
The coalition of the Greek chiefs was
the result of this demand, and Homer
tells US how the great vengeance OF
heaven fell upon Paris and involved his
whole army of supporters in his ruin.
The original papyri from which |
have taken these facts are now on their
way to Berlin, and in a few weeks will
doubtless be published in full.

told, showed that she had been through

You say it seems an age, my love.
Since last you went away;
But then it's quite a comfort, dear,
To know the trip will pay.
We're saving every penny we can,
And living very plain;
had my pocket picked last night,
While walking through the rain.
You count the tagging hours, dear,
That keep you from nay side;
For, as you fondly say the wife
Is dearer than the bride.

But then know, dear John,

And have hearty cry;

A Family of Girls with a Passion

From the Port Huron (Mich.) Commercial.l

should go. he was strict member o
the Methodist church, and endeavoreC
to conduct the affairs of his family witt

for by the doctrines of that church

would have turned out happier, but who

Last week, however, the visit Of the
Washburn Variety Troupe to this city
confirmed the stories that had been

which that delectable organization hon.

showily, and with jewels flashing
on every finger, walked into the editorial
rooms of the Commercial and introduced
herself as the youngest of the three
children who had lett here eight years
previously. She said her sister next
older than herself was the Madame San

legally married to the man whose name
she bore. He had been attracted by her
pretty face and engaging ways and made
her his wife. Then he had taught her
to Join with him in the perilous trapeze
performance, and she had shared his
dangers until one day in one of the most
thrilling feats her nerves failed her and
she fell. Her arm was shattered, and
when she left the doctor care her career
as a gymnast was ended, for one arm
was stifened so that she might never use
it again.
Then the younger sister had taken her
place. She naively bore testimony to
