BY MRS. W. H. PALMER.

In small, high-studdsd room,
wall-furnished and handsomely fresz
coed, two men had been playing
cards all night--playiag with an alb
sortion and concentration which made
it seem as If fate was at stake. SO
The gas was blazing brightly, and
not a ray of daylight crept into the
room when the bronze clock on the
maptel tolled seven silver strokes. At
this the younger man took up his adj
versary's deal, and glanced at his
cards. A blue pallor, sharp, sick
ening spasm crossed his face. He
threw the cards upon the table.
"That ends it," he said, in con-
trolled tone, pushing back his chair.
1t did indeed lend it, for Victor
Lang. He had gambled away the
last he possessed on earth.
s'It ends it for this time, apparent
ly my dear fellow. But don't be
desperate. Desperation don't pay.
really,, and Mr.. John Lucas passed
- m white hand across his lace.
looniI,g fastidiously fresh as If he had
not been up all night, or else were
quite used to so being. He was a
handsome middle-aged man, with the
polished grace of his profession.
s'I suppose it does not pay for you
who have neither honor nor a future
at stake" said young Victor Lang,
with temper and scorn. "But for
me to have thrown away all!-it Is
enough to make me desperate"
He stepped to the window and
flung it open. The wild wind flung
the driving rain in his face as he stood
staring at the leaden sky OF the

Sometime after which on their way
to visit Tina, as they both sat silent,
the pur,,le dusk was descending over
the landscape. Here q waterfall

1t is certain that the Park must be either
we'll lighted or closed at dark. II is not safe
or proper to keep it open at night and leave
it dark. AS it is now it cannot be po-
Iced after nightfall, and it offers a conven-
lent harbor and lair to disreputable and
dangerous people.
TO light it with gas would be not only ex-
pensive, but also dangerous to the trees we
are told-a leaky gaspipe detiling the ground
SO us to kill the trees whose roots come in
contact with the gas Why not try the
electric light? 1t is urged as an objection
to its use that it casts very deep and dark
shadows; but with the recent improve
ments in the arrangement of this light it is
possible, we believe, to entirely obviate this
objection. At any rate, the Park offers an
excellent opportunity for experiments with
this light, and we hope an early trial will
be made. Several American inventors have
now perfected machinery for the cheap and
convenient use of the electric light, and
we do not doubt that if they are
asked to submit plans for the per-
feet illumination OF the Park there
will be ingenuity enough among them all
TO contrive an effective arrangement. 1t
would add not little to the advantages of
that noble pleasure ground if it could be
thoroughly lighted every night so that it
would become the resort of the people in
the evening as well as during the day.
We do not imagine that lights displayed
at the usual height of city lampposts would
lights placed at considerable heights and
illuminating great spaces from above. In
that case it would not bo difficult to pre-
vent the dark shadows.

Behind the Scenes.

Since the curtain fell ut Berlin last Sat.
urday upon the most prominent European
play Of the season there has been consid-
erablo establishment among the spectators,
and 'the moro they thought the more the
wonder grew" 1t was Bismarck's own play
he provided the house and boarded the
whole company during the run of the piece
He is acknowledged to be, by right of expe-
rience and success, the '1eading man" for
that particular line of acting, yet his own
part was SO trifing as to call neither for
praise nor abuse. Indeed, except in the
trifing entr'acte of dog drama which he
rendered with the reluctant co-opera-
ton Of Gortschakoff, he seems to
have done no acting at all, but
officiated merely rs prompter. 1t is impos-
sible to believe that so brilliant 'star"
would have been content with such posi-
ton. Stars don't do such things, except at
benefits, and this was not an entertain
ment OF that kind for those who were
most needy got nothing, while those
who deserved nothing got most. What
went on behind the scenes has not
been made Known 10 the audience, Dut II
seems utterly out of the range of probable
tiles that the manager was not really study.
ing his company, with view to some COM
ing play in which he is to be the hero
some monster benefit performance, with
srmania as sole beneficiary. Nobody
knows exactly what the play will be, but
the incomplete triumphs of the great
actors of other days suggest u revival
of 'Die Yacht am Rhein" or an
adaptation of ''rhe Flying Dutchman"
as among the probabilities. In such event
Disraeli and Andrassy might support the
leading dramatist. Gortschakon would do
the benignant old man, yet keep one eye on
the approaches to the Baltic. Italy can
lead the clacque, as to have her hands
warm and ready to reach up into the Tyro,
while France and Turkey, way down at tho
foot of the cast, can play heavy and light
villain, tell dreadful stories about the hero,
and be snubbed for their pains. Bismarck
will certainly play something great. 10 act
as prompter throughout long play is not
part to satisfy great actor, even although
he does it from the head Of big table and
in full view of the audience.
