I advanced a couple of PAGES, and
the men fell back in speechless surprise
and terror. 1 have often tried since to
picture to myself the appearance I
must have presented when seen at such
a moment and by that uncertain light,
with my CHASTITY, death like face, my
dilated eyes, my black, snake-like
locks, my tall figure all in white, and
with one extended arm and finger
pointed direct at the men. I can not
wonder at their fright.
At this iu~ncture came another flash,
and a terrible peal of thunder startled
the air and shook the house. At the
very instant, impelled thereto by some
thing within that I was powerless to
control, / burst into a wild peal OF
maniacal, blood-curdling laughter. One
step nearer l advanced; but that was
enough. With q loud yell of terror
the men turned and fled by the way
they had come. l heard a crash OF
shattered glass; and after that I re-
member nothing more till I came to
my senses, to find Bessie supporting
my head on her lap and pressing her
smelling-salts to my nose.

Missing baggage.

-
Many vexatious delays which take
place ia the transfer of trunks are due
to the negligence of the company which
carries them.
The agent of a baggage-express asked
3 lady in the cars if she had any baggage
to be delivered. EYES," she said, '.but
I had great trouble finding M of my
trunks, and l can't have this n lost.
The agent assuring her that it would
be delivered safely, inquired where She
wanted it delivered.

swered,

it is the .Aragop That sails at three
o'clock"
Eyes, that is right"
The trunk was delivered. but the lady
did moi appear, and at three O'Clock it
started for France on board the ArGgo.
When the agent returned to the Office
he found a policeman and the lady
waiting for him. "This lady has en-
tered a complaint against u.s." said the
express manager.

claimed the lady, with much indigna-
ton.

1t is said that the development Of

The favor is developed by the process

heard of the ~disgracefHl affair, he swore
that never again should the worthless

came home, bringing his wife with him.
Unobserved, they entered the parlor.
When the old gentleman entered, not
suspecting his sons return, he was
shocked by an avalanche of indigna
ton.
"How dare you bring this woman to

The young man was astonished.

welcome my wife. She doesn't speak

'Old gentleman, there is no use in

The Professors face frightened.
"She has considerable money on

too, we are opposites."
The Professor laughed,
"She has generously consented to
pay off the mortgage on our place."
The Professor threw his arms around
the young wife and kissed her musk
melon countenance. Releasing her, he
turned to his son and said:
