The Gambler Victim.
EXPENSE OF sYMPATHIZING
GREENHoRNs.

The steward said it was quite
like old times. In the main cabin
were five or six card tables and
there was a crowd at every one.
When the play grew hot the gold
and greenbacks began to show up,
and by and by there was from three
hundred to one thousand dollars on
every table. One of the players at
tracted especial attention. He was
man of about thirty, geenteel and
well educated, and he bet with
recklessness to astonish everybody.
Somehow we all began to feel per-
sonally interested in his luck, and
when he won we Iejoiced as much
as if he had agreed to divide up pro
rata. In two hours he was two
thousand dollars ahead, but then
his luck changed and before mid
night he was dead broke. Then his
watch and ring and pin went, and
he rose up as thoroughly cleaned
out as gambler could be.
Gentlemen" he said, as he turn
ed to us, 81 am much obliged for
your kind words, and wish each one
of you well. 1 have lost six hun
dred dollars intrusted to me to de-
liver to a party in New orleans, and
| shall not go any further. Good
byep
He was out on deck like a flash,
and we heard a splash iu the water
as we ran after him. None of us
returned to the cabin. We sat
down to talk it over, and for an
hour we felt bad-real bad. We
erected monuments and carved
an epitaph, as it were, and every
man went to bed sad-hearted.
Well, next morning, when the
boat reached Natchez, l ran across
the Captain and remarked on the
sad occurrence.
"See that chap?" he replied,
pointing to a man climbing up the
long hill.
"Why, that looks like the very
chapp
"Certain it does, for it is !"
"But he went overheard t.
"Bosh He tossed over a chair
and then slipped down belowl"
"And he didn't lose six hundred
dollars which was ntrusted-?"
close nothing! He is a capper
for the gamblers, and played to in
duce greenhorns to come in!"-De-
troit Free Press.

The Use OF Mosquitoes.

There had been a discussion in
the parlor car on the uselessness of
mosquitoes. This particular parlor
car was running through the State
of Michigan, where August mosqui-
toes are not noted either for their
modesty or their smallness. After
everybody else had given his opin-
ion a young man accompanied by
young lady was invited to express
his convictions on the momentous
question. This young man was en-
gagged in watching the face of the
young woman, who was so sweetly
sleeping upon his shoulder, breath
ing through her mouth instead of
her nose. He was vigilant in his
guard against mosquitoes lighting
upon the face of his fair one evil

"Do l think mosquitoes are of
any use in this world p he said,

cave, thence into the cold water of
the well, calling on all the holy
names she knew meanwhile.
Again her breath deserted her,
the water rushed into her eyes and
ears but blindly feeling about she
caught the bucket that had drop
ped into the water after her. Above
her at the top of the well, a blessed
blue sky was visible.
At that instant head blotted it
out. A man. laborer, going home
from his work, had paused there to
drink and the next moment she
lay senseless and pallid on the
grass beside the well.
When she came to herself she
told her story. Some said that she
had only had one of those visison
which the drowning are said to
have and that the cold well had
its source in some hideen cave,
whittier the water at times had
power to draw and object on its
surface; and some grew pale, and
shuddered, as they thought of the
seven stone Kathrines at their stone
spinning-wheels.
But the Widow Doren never said
what she thought she only caused
to bring great fag-stone to well,
cover it, cement it, and seal it up
for ever.

How black, how bleak, how cold, how
wild!
Squirrels and mice don't know what
fun;
They skulk below in fur three-plied,
Nor show their nose till all is done.
How blows the snow, how branches bow,
Cut to and fro, lash high and low
Till crack alack, they snap and go.
o night of ruin, night of woe
Tomorrow, to the wood-folks' sorrow,
Many fine tree, lying low,
Will show with top-twigs in the snow.
But naught care should pines fall, pat
rise from meath them like the air;
Or, 'gainst the trunks blown, like bat,
/ cling and stay suspended there.
Or, should spruce-bough scurry by,
With comes up-pointed, leaf-tufts
trailed,
/ board it, and away speed /,
The maddest voyage ever sailed.
/ skip and skim, and bang and bump,
And bounce and jump, and thud and
thump,
And chase ten devils round stump;
Till rolled in snow, frozed lump;
tumble where some soul must STUN
BILE
Upon me-down he founders plump,
Like lost soul at doomsday trump.
Last night the deacon, hurrying past,
On good works bent, my form did find,
He picked me up and stood aghast,
But wrapped me from from the bitter
wind,
Then ran through banks and brakes and
drifts,
And plunge he did, and slip, and slide,
And fall off rocks, and stick in riffs,
Before he reached his cold fireside.
Then, while he plies the fire, and tries,
With putting cheeks and smarting eyes,
His best to raise flame-my cries
Hooting calling, yelling, squaling,
Like everything that runs or flies,
To the good mans wild surprise.

A CURIOUS LEGEND,

For years there stood upon the
old Domain property, good long
distance from the kitchen door OF
the mansion, queer stone well. 1t
was of carven stone, with grotesque
heads and faces on every side, and
behind it the head and body of
some fiendish-looking thing-a sort
of satyr it seemed-with such fierce
expression in its carven eyes that
all children were afraid oft. A
rustic shed covered the we'll. Ivy
crept over it and half hid the stone
face. And it was certainly'a very
picturesque object.
There had never been either
windlas or sweep : only chain
fastened to the roof of the shed, to
which the bucket was attached !:
but the water was always so high it
was very easy to draw it in this
way.
In connection with this well,
however, something very remarka-
ably had occurred. In the year
1914, when the house was first occu-
pied by the family, young girl,
Larhrine Doren by name, the
youngest daughter of the house,
had gone to the well in the edge Of
the evening to fill pail. She nev.
er returned. Her friends went in
search of her, and found the pail on
the wells curb.
1t was thought at first that she
was drowned but this was not the
case. However, she was never seen
again. Her friends fancied she had
been murdered: strangers believed
that she had eloped with some lovel
but no one ever knew what become
of Katherine Doren.
Meanwhile, her niece, a child at
the time grew up, married, and had
a daughter, whom she named Kath,
crime after her lost aunt.
Forty years from the day or
which the first Katherine had dis
appeared, this second Katherine
then seventeen years old, went ir
the cleaning of an autumn day tc
the stone well to fill a china pitcher
Again the same thing happened
the pitcher was found on the well
curb, and Katherine was never seer
again. The whole country was
secured : posters were pasted up in
every town advertisements insert
in every paper; but the mother
died of grief without having hearc
any tidings of her daughter.
Since then, in every generation
the same ting had happened. Sew
en- girls had gone to the well fol
water and never been seen since
and, strangely enough, each hac
been named Katherine.
Yet so skeptical are the people O
to-day, that no one really believed
all that was said and it wa,
thought in the neighborhood tina
the Dorens were a race given tc
elopement, and that the girls tool
advantage of the legend of the well
| In the year 1874 the old hous
was a crumbling edifice, that rockec
in the wind when it blew strongly
and the widow of the last Doren, t,
whom it fell on the death of he
husbands father, hesitated abou

"Do you know" said Fort Lin
coin man to the young lady who
was driving while out sleigh-riding,
that in the east the other day two
young people were out just as we
are and the sleigh upset, and that

wedding within a week" Ten min
utes later they were fioundering in
the snow, but the girl says it was an
