A Spurious Wild Man.

Some days ago thrilling interest was
excited among the people of one of Ber-
Inns largest suburbs by the erection of
huge booth, purporting to contain a gen
uine wild man Of such tremendous
strength and inveterate ferocity, that it
was found necessary by his lessee to
watch him day and night by TOUR stall
wart keepers armed with loaded rifles.
This terrific savage 'drew" amazingly,
the suburban fair crowding his booth in
vast numbers, and seeming never to
weary Of admiring his muscular limbs.
of listening to his angry bowls, or of
watching his menacing gestures. A few
days ago, however, while the proprietor
of the show was expatiating upon the
perils he had encountered in capturing
this untamablc child of nature, and was
calling attention to the manifest ireful-
ness of his disposition, a wind-storm
such as the German capital is not unfre-
quenaly visited by at this season OF the
year, arose, and began to bullet the
booth with such vehemence that, fear
ing that the structure would collapse,
the wild mans four armed guardians
dropped their rifles and fled, promptly
followed by the par ic-stricken exponent
of his sanguinary peculiarities The
horror of the audience may be imagined,
threatened as they were by the double
danger of being crushed by the tottering
booth and ea,en more or less alive by
the Infatuated savage. The wild man,
however, showed more presence of mind
that his heroic captoror stern custodlans
for he proceeded eagerly TO assure the
terrified assembiage that "there was
really no danger, and that, ii they would
honor him with their attention, he would
continue the performance thus untimely
interrupted" Recognizing q tame ma
tive of the Spree Wald IN the alleged
savage aborlgine of . virgin forest, the
audience nurriedly dispersed; and an
hour later, the booth and its indomitable
wild man had vanished. -From the Lon

and she read his determination in his

and she read his determination in his
eyes.
"What fool 1 was = she muttered,
but made one more effort
"Laura and Lester won't thank you
any for interrupting them"
No answer, as he strobe on and en-
tered the drawing room through one Of
tho open French windows. Laura sat
there with her mother. She had been
crying. No one else was in the room.
He LAID the will upon her lap.
81 fnd," he said hurriedly, and in a
shaking voice, "that my grandfather left
his money to you. There is the will
that has been missing SO long. I hope,
Laura, that you will be great deal
happier with Mr.. Lester than you would
have been with me. But he will never
love you any better than do"
. Laura was white and speecbless with
bewilderment.
"Laura detests Robert Lester" cried
Mrs. Work, taking in the situation at
once. "She never cared for any one
but you, Lewis Vanwirt, and you ought
to know it.
ooh, my darlingp calculated Lewis,
wildly extending his arms, 'is this
true"
In another instant Laura was sObbing
upon his shoulder.
Pauline went quietly to her own
room and spent the night in packing.
When she announced her approaching de-
parture the next morning no one OBJ
jected.
Lewis Vanwirt looked somewhat en-
barrassed when Laura told him Of the
promise she had made his grandfather
on the night he died.
II don't think am in any danger of
being gambl'r," he said, "but 1 am
willing to pledge myself never to play
again"
Which he did, and kept his word.
