your presence when you least expected it,
and l learned that it was not Ricardo that
you loved, but your pale young Englishman.
had agreed TO do your wish, but not that
it might free you to accept the embrace of
another lover. No, l was not such a fool.
| determined that he should first be well
out of the way. All how simple you
thought me, and how you and he laughed
together, no doubt, that I damned myself
for the shadow that he might have the SUBJ
stance. But he will laugh at me no more.
1t is easier to kill for hate than love-"
The woman listened throughout without
word, then dropped into chair near her
with sobbing cry, ''Oh fate is pitiless in
its retribution."
The student approached her. THAT is
to love you, for l have to love you yet with
all my soul, despite the treachery you plan
ned to me, and I say to you, Felicite, let us
love and forget"
As he spoke he knelt upon one knee be-
side her and put his arm around her.
The touch recalled her to herself, and she
sprang to her feet.
"Love for you Never! Rather would
love the most loathsome leper Love for
you / will denounce you as an assassin in
stead"
"And yourself as my accomplices"
81 care not"
She turned and opened the door. Two
gendarmes stood before her. She reelcd and
fell swooning to the floor.
Both the Countess and Ricardo Pocolini
were placed in confinement, and both con-
fessed their agency in the tragic occurrence
of the death of Mr.. Renwick, in sub
stance the same as had been outlined in their
conversation.
Ricardo Furthermore afforded clew to the
mystery of the duplicate daggers in saying
that the one given to him by the Countess
had been stolen from him while he was in
toxicated in little wine shop frequented by
Italians, and that he had been forced to have
it duplicated. Being an art student and
having studied with an artistic and critical
eye the curious old weapon, he had been
able to so exactly make drawing of it that
an armorer in the Rue st. Antonio had re-
produced it for him, and it was this second
knife which he left in the young English
mans back, hoping that it would lead to
fastening thecrime upon Count Fornelli
The Counts agency in the matter of the
other assassination was established with suf.
ficient clearness to procure for him life
sentence to the galleys, though not to send
him to the guillotine with Pocolini and vi.
tucci. He had hired. the latter to kill Mr.
Renwick, and the bravo, deceived by rare
personal resemblance, had assassinated the
wrong man. The Countess Fornelli wa:
condemned to ten years of penal servitude
but in some way contrived to procure poison
and died in prison before the expiration O.
the first six months OF incarceration.

How PeOpIe Are SWiudied.

address with postage stamps" etc. This
simple form of words is found at the end of
more than half the advertisements nowadays.
1t has become one of the grand formulas of
the modern epoch. Sometimes it is varied
with "Send stamp for circular" but the de-
sire for stamps is always expressed. There
is always certain amount of spare credulity
in the world, over and above what is needed
for the ordinary transactions of life, that
not remain latent. 1t has got to find vent
somewhere. In the years gone by it spent
itself in religious superstition, but now it
goes into postage stamps, forwarded for cir
culars which tell how to get rich, how one
may take his future into his own hands, how
to restore one'syouth, etc. All these things
may be very desirable to know, and what is
the loss of few cents in postage stamps,any
wayY
Not long ago three French journalists
were discoursing of human credulity in
cafe, and the question "Where is its limit p
was raised One of the three maintained
| that human credulity had no limit. 1t was
finally agreed that each of the trio should
| insert in the newspapers an advertisement
the most eccentric, improbable and absurd
| that it was possible to devise--each adver-
tisements to be accompanied with demand
| for stamps-and watch the result. The
| first Of the trio published the following ex-
| traordinary announcement:
1NHE HAND IN THE HAIR. Send one
L
for the new theory OF an entirely new sensa-
tion. 1t gives love and freshness. Address
| A. b. post office. ....
The second conspirator, taking advantage
of an old and familiar superstition, advertis-
ed as follows
ID ETURN FROM THE OTHER World
lC Send one franc fifty centimes in postage
| stamps. Accurate news from the better land
Mysteries revealed. Everything made clear.
Address B. c., post office
The third, abandoning all subterfuges, ad-
vertised boldly as follows:
| I PROMISE NOTHING; engage to per.
| l form nothing. But send ono franc fifty
centimes in postage. Perhaps there is lit
lie surprise in store for YOU Who knows
Address ID. c., post office.
These advertisements produced result
far greater than the conspirators had hoped.
Postage stamps rained for several days. And
when the people found that they weaa not
receiving their quid pro quo they sent on
more postage stamps. And the mos sue
cessful of the three advertisements was the
last. Finally the three journalists turned
over their ill-gOtten gains to a charitable so,
ciety and told their story in newspaper in
order that the dupes might know wha: had
become of their postage stamps. They had
satisfied themselves that human credulity
had indeed no limit.

LOVES RUSE.

"Let me In I" cried cupid, knocking
At the door one day.
TO the sprito answered shortly,
ave no time for play"
But the rogue with sllvery laughter
Strove TO move my heart,
Tempted me with merry daring
And loves cunning art.
Stlll unmoved, the door fastened
'Galnst the coaNlng sprlte;
Then he peepcd within my window
Beautiful and bright.
Promised me all things delightful,
Wealth and wondrous fame.
"No," said /, 81 deem your promise
Light, sir, as your name"
Slowly turned he from my window,
With puzzled face,
"Fare you well, II cried, rejoicing,
AGO, and leave no trace"
But too soon heard signing
just within my door.
"Let me in ~ cried fearful cupid;
"Open, lmplorc."
40 my pinions are so weary
Give me rest, pray,
Only for one fleetlng moment,
Ere go my way"
Silvery laughter had not won mo,
Coaxing had scorned,
Promises, ah thanks to reason,
'Gainst them was warned.
But when cupid came in trouble,
He brought PITY, too;
Love and Pity leagued together;
What could mortal dol
Then threw my door wide open;
With mocking shout.
In flew cupid, and never
Now can turn him out.

A MOUNTAIN OF SALT.-A mass of. co.
100000 tons of pure, solid, compact rock
salt, located on an island 1856 feet high,
which rises from miserable sea marsh on
the route from Brashear to New Iberia, up
the river Teche, in Louisiana, is one of the
wonders of the world. How this island,
containing over 800 acres of excellent land
ever came into existence iu such locality
Is matter of conjecture. Vegetation is
prolific and the scenery is beautiful and va
ried. Here Isl immense bed of pure rock
salt whose extent is as yet only estimated,
and scientific men are puzzled.-4tlanta

TIE OLD PASTORS DISMISSAL.
BY ELIZABETH CUMMINGS.


ave need Young man to stir the people
And lead them to the fold,
The deacon said 1--WE ask your resignation.
Because--youre growing old"
The pastor bowed his deacons out In silence,
And tenderly the gloom
or twilight hid hun and his bitter anguish
Within the lonely room.
Above the violet hills the sunlight's glory
Hung like a crown of gold,
And from the noble church the organs anthem
Adown the stiffness rolled.
Assembled were the people for Gods worship
But in his study chair
The pastor sat unheeding, while the south wind
Caressed his snow-white hair.
A smile lay on his lips. His was the secret
OF sorrows glad surcease
Upon his forehead shone the benedction
OF everlasting peace.
"The ways Of Providence are most mysterious, "
The deacon gravely said,
AS wondering eyed, and scared, the people
crowded
About their pastor-dead
ave loved him. wrote the people on the coilln,
In the words OF shining gold
And 'bove the broken heart they set statue
or marble, white and cold,
The end? All no, the undiscovered country
Somewhere In brightness lies.
Though only space and stars may be discerned
by mans short-sighted eyes.

BE CoURTEoUs.-A teacher should never
forget that in his teaching he is to be cour-
teous as well as pointed, and the most cour-
teous when he is the most pointed. Any
person who cannot put truth with decision
and point and without becoming uncivil or
offensive in his manner has much vet to
learn as teacher. He must keep his eye
upon not merely what the scholar is doing
and the kind of truth he wishes to teach
him, but also upon the manner and spirit in
which he teaches and the student receives
the truth. A sharp and offensive manner is
certain to irritate and repel the scholar.
