"Kiss me, darling"
Richard Irwin had toiled slowly and
wearily up the two flights of stairs which
led to the poor abode and look long and
lovingly into the pale but beautiful face of
the girl who had given up parents, home and
everything that had made life happy TO be-
come his wife. And as she stood there, hcr
soft white arms twined lovingly around his
neck, and her deep hazel eyes appraised to
his, he saw that she had been weeping, and
around the wan, dropping lips that in the
happy bygone days were so often raised
pouting merrily the while, to be kissed by
his own there were traces of pie. Richard
Irwin shuddered as he drew tho 1.-THE, yield
ing form still more closely to him, and he
wept bitter, scalding tears of pain to think
that his wife, Clytie Stiggns, Boston born
and bred--a girl who habitually read Emer-
son, and whose essay ON the theory of horizon
tai cleavage in red sandstone was only ex-
celled by her paper on tho fauna of the
pliocene period-should be reduced to eating
pic in the morning. And while he was
wrapped in these painful reveries Clytie
raised her head from his bosom. One glance
told her all.
"You arc suffering my darling" she said.
Can you not tell me, your wife, of your sor-
row?"
at is nothing" Richard replied, kissing
her tenderly.
Lemon pie, too" he murmured, in hoarse,
agonized tones as his lips left hers. MY
God? This is terrible"
just then noise as Of some one dragging
himself slowly and wearily up the stairs was
heard. Presently it ceased, and messenger
boy kicked open the door, and walking to
where Richard Irwin sat handed him a
telegram. He tore open the envelope with
trembling hands and read the message, the
hoy looking over his shoulder TO see that
everything was all right.
"We are saved, Clytie," he said, in low,
broken tones I" Your father is dead, and ali
his mackerel fishery is yours"
"Yes,9 murmured the girl, kneeling beside
the chair on which her husband sat. "We
are saved, Richard-saved by acanthoptery-
gian fish of the scomberoid family. Its body
is fusiform, its first dorsal fin continuous, its
branchiostegal rays are seven in number-and
she then looking up suddenly, she saw the man
loved SO we'll, and for whom she would have
sacrificed her life, was lying cold and pulseless
across the chair.
She had talked him to death.

THEY PUT HIM OFF,
Notwithstanding that He was Large
Daisy and Generously Inclined.

Nsv York sun.
A habby-faced man walked into an elevated
railway car yesterday with somewhat COM
plicated step and dropped heavily into scat.
Presently he looked around upon the other
passengers, burst into gladstone smile, and
muttered
=" Pm large daisy, that's what am n
large and beautiful daisy"
Then he winked with intense suggestive
ess at a highly respectable maiden lady Of
rigid outline and acrimonious aspect, laughed
with great amusement and fell fast asleep.
The train stopped suddenly at the next sta
tion, and he loungod over against dainty
young school girl who was sitting next to
him.
"Skuse me-" he said thickly. "Nozzan tn
mazzer, Is thereT The girl shrank ner-
vously from him. This seemed to affect the
m an deeply, and he gazod at her with blear-
eyed pathos for q long time, and then plunged
his hands into his pockets and brought out a
handful of loose tobacco, which he offered TO
her with every manifestation of good will.
Long cut" he said, "help yersolf."
At this point jaunty little brakeman, with
thin neck, ,waxed moustache, and high-heeled
boots, who had been watching the hospitablo
passenger from tho platform, strutted into the
car, tapped him on the shoulder, and remarked,
in falsetto voice:
Look a-here, young follow, you don't own
the road, y'understan'2" An yer too flip,
you are. You amt got no right 10 annoy tho
ladies'. You want 10 drop on 1t, d'yunder-
STAMP"
YES, my friend,' said tho man, drowsily,
! dy'understan'."
The brakeman glanced around with tri-
umphal air, and strobe. majestically toward
the door. When he had gone half way, tho
man raised his eyelids slightly and yelled, at
the top of his voice:
Hoop Ia, there BifW
The brakeman wheeled around with great
show Of ferocty, but the mans face was in
nocent, child-like, and bland. There was
about,i not the slightest indication Of guile.
Apparently he placidly slept. The brakeman
hovered over him for n moment and started
again for the door. As he passed out, the
mans mouth opened, and frightful shrek
issued from his lips This time the brakeman
beckoned another employe from the rear car.
Then he walked slowly forward while the
other brakeman edged slowly up toward tho
nocent.looking man. The man craftily
opened his of eye and watched the retreat Of
the first brakeman. Then he howled:
"Yerp! Bingp
But the second brakeman was upon him,
and when the train stopped at Bleecker street
he was unceremoniously put of. He stood
on the platform and as the train rolled away
said:
"Ish very odd, but q mansh can't have any
funsh wisout paying, fur it."

acre lawn and old oaks growing all around it,

As to the extraditon of persons charged
With the commission Of murder in England,
he question seems to us to be simply one Of
proof. Our government will not, Of course,
cxtradite political offenders. We do not be-
ieve it will ever hold such crimes as the as
sassination Of Cavendish and Burke in
Phoenix park, Dublin, to be merely political
otienses. But neither do we believe that
England will ever be allowed to pursue
political refugees into this country, and
violate the sacred right of asylum, on trumped
Up charges by confessed assassins that the OBJ
jpcts of her pursuit were implicated with

Irishmen TO pretend in her or their behalf
that the killing of Burke and Cavendish was
anything less than fendish and brutal muir
der, for which the perpetrators should hang,

aroused by the crime is not to bo appeased by
