his lips how wasted and feeble his
form. Learned men say it is the work
of malarial poison, absorbed in the
sWamps of Mexico, but they err. It
is all my work.
Il have repented my folly; what
more could you ask of me?" asked the
girl.
..You repented! It cannot be. When
you cone to my side. and. -ineeling,
beg forgiveness, will believe. I will
forgive and give you the love of years.
Gomez
As he spoke the figure gradually re-
coded, decreasing in size, the mist
cleared away, and the photograph re.
sumed its former appearance. Victor
struggled as though trying to awake
himself from slumber. He rubbed
his forehead, and, signing heavily,
said:
''Oh, Nell, why do you not Gomez"
A half-hour passed and footstep
sounded on the threshold. Victor
turned his head quickly and beheld
Eleanor Duncan standing in the door
way, her face pale, her hair dishevel-
led, her dress diso1dered, a white
shawl thrown carelessly about her
shoulders. Her eyes had that vacant
stare peculiar to somnambullsm, and
her step, as she entered the room, was
mechanical. She did not speak, but
moved slowly until she reached his
chair
''Nell!'' he cried loudly.
She started at the sound of his voice;
her eyes had a dazed expression; her
face was the picture of perplexity.
ooh, Vic!' she cried, ''what does
this mean? The last [ remember was
standing before the glass in my room,
and now am here. 1 do not under
stand.''
A thought flashed across him, and
he said, grayely:
THAT unseen influence which watch
es over us has brought you here. And
now that you are here. Nell, what have
you to say?"
A moments pause, her eyes again
stared vacantly into space, and, kneel-
ing at his side, she said:
Il have repented. Forgive me as
you hope for forgiveness.
81 forgive you, Nell, freely-freely
free His voice was lost in a tit
of choking, and an internal hem
orrhage covered his breast with his
life blood. He threw one arm about
her neck, conyulsively, and drew her
toward him.
''Come. Nell, let us 90 where we
may be happy together, away from the
world he murmured.

Darlington, who had logged her
footsteps TO the very door of the room
and had remained outside to watch
and listen, softly entered the room.
He surveyed them for some time, an
evil smile upon his still more evil coun-
tenance. Then. touching Eleanor upon
the shoulder, he said, with a sneer:
Come, my pretty one; it is nearly
midnight, and you are wasting time
idllng with a completed task. Your
lover is dead"
She did not move; she seemed not to
have heard him. He called her name
loudly and angrily, and, grasping her
shoulder, shook her roughly. This
elected no reply, and, in surprise and
wonder, he stepped to one side that
he might view her face.
He started back in horror, his face
livid, his eyes protruding, his form
trembling like an aspen, and, as the
beautiful strains of the Gloria stole
slowly through the wide-opcned street
door, filling as it went every nook and
Granny with divine melody, Barring

EARLY ART CRITICISM.
A "Reminiscences of the Celebrated Colossus
of Rhodes.
New York World.

New York World.
In the year $50 B. C. the citizens of Rhodes,
in grateful remembrance of the pounding ad-
ministered their enemy, the King of Macedon,
decided to erect colossal statue in honor of
their victory and in commemoraton of the
services rendered in their behalf by the Egyp
tian general, Ptolemy Softer. The figure of
Apollo was taken as a model. and young
artist named Chares, who came from Lindus,
and was the pupil of Lysippus, was given the
contract. large sum of money was collected.
chiefly from the working people.
About the time that Chares began his great
work of setting up the brass image, which was
scheduled to reach height of 105 feet, bald
headed reporter from an evening newspaper pub
lished in the town called upon him and said: Il
am the greatest art critic in the Mediterranean
archipelago My father was whitewasher, and
l can crltlcise anything from postage stamps to
the pyramids of Egypt. This statue of yours is
inartistic. 1t is out of all proportion. The big
toe is threequarters of an inch longer than it
should be, according to the Greek model. and
you have made the umbilicus the same size as
the eye. This is contrary to the rules of anato-
my The artist tried to explain that the rules
of ordinary criticism would scarce apply to
iossal statuary, but the critic continued: Your
brass plates are too thin, anyhow and the
statue will not stand after you get it up. Science
and engineering will both be inadequate to keep
the rickety old thing in place. l shall open
you in my journal tomorrow And he did.
The artist Chares. annoyed by the structures
of this conceited crtic-who, as it was after
wards ascertained, had been disappointed in not
getting contract to furnish material for the
statue-expended all his money before the
statue was completed and then committed
suicide.
The work was afterwards taken up by one
Laches and carried to successful completion. 1t
stood grandly for fifty six years, when earth
quake--one of the natural concomitants of that
section OF the country-opened 1t and knocked
it to smthereens. The prediction of the great
critic was thus verified, but it required an
earthquake to knock the statue down and,
strange as it may appear while the world is still
talking about that marvellous work Of art, no
body knows the name of the little bald headed
reporter who criticised the work ably, or the
name of the little red afternoon newspaper of
Rhodes that employed him.
MoraL-The Statue of Liberty presented TO
the American Republic will be erected in New
York harbor according TO programme. 1t may
be upset in the course of hundred years by
earthquake, but erect or recumbent, it will be
remembered and talked about when the New
York Herald and Telegram are absolutely for
gotten. Likewise, the names Of the scientific
critics now in their employ.

III the list. Limeade is in brisk demand, being
more acid and bracing than lemonade. Vichy
and cream has come into vogue. though an ex-

one part of vichy to two of milk. Hook aud
soda retains its popularity, but if one must cross
the dividing line between temperance and aco-
holie beverages symphony In ginger ale and

How San Francisco Gamblers Fortify Them
selves Against Interference by the Police.


San Francisco Call.
On the east side of Dupont street. near Clay
a building is being altered for the purpose of
establishing restaurant in it, and in connection
Herewith there is being fitted up a room which
will be used by Chinese gamblers. The room is
twenty five feet wide by eighteen deep. The
studding has been covered inside and out with
grooved and tongued pitch pine. The outside of
each partition is covered with sheet-iron one
eighth of an inch thick and fastened by means
of round headed carriage bolts, set about five
inches apart.
The entrance from the street is through a
narrow door set in the western partition and hid
from view by broad staircase that leads to the
upper floor The casing of this doorway is COW
cred with steel strips a quarter of an inch thick
and several inches wide, which well
secured to the partition, by iron bolts, as posi-
BILE. On the floor in place of the ordinary
threshold, there is a thick iron plate. From the
interior the door is fastened by means of a
swivel bar, which fits into the sockets and in
piece of timber, six feet long, which, if occasion
requires, may be thrown against the door as a
brace from floor hold The door itself is of
three.inch pine covered with quarter inch steel
plate, strongly riveted.
In the rear partition there is door that opens
into a large kitchen connected with the restau-
rant. The kitchen is a room the walls OF which
are of brick. Two windows light the room but
each or these has heavy iron gratings set in
them. This place is so strongly fortified that
under the most favorable circumstances officers
having wedges axes, pinch-bars and iron mauls
could not effect an entrance into it under an
hours very hard work.
The purpose of the door into the kitchen is
that in raid is made the players may carry
the evidence, which, il found, would lead to CON
viction into the cook shop and destroy it by
throwing it into the furnace.

Heroes that Died." G. w. Stafford; ''Our
'uture," W. Is. Herod. Mrs N s. Joslin read
he poem written for this occasion by Miss Mary
!. Krout, as follows:
Toward the West, Ger unknown seas
Which swelling sails had never crossed,
Stretched wide land whose furthest verge
In seas yet more remote was lost
There forests arching to the sky
Held their strong arms. and rivers ras
And mountains in solitudes
Untrodden by the foot of man.
The savage wearied with the chase,
Beside his smoky campfire slept
While the wild beast with stealthy tread,
Down to the stream s still margin crept
His was this goodly heritage:
It's fertile lay untitled
Skulking in treacherous ambuscade
His war whoop through its silence thrilled.
But in the fullness of His time
Came to it's shores those God inspired
Soldier and sage-wth sturdy hands,
And hearts with jealous courage fired.
Where the rank wilderness had been,
They the waste places fruitful made;
Plenty and comfort with them dwelt
Where err their restless feet were stayed.
Then might and faith wrought miracles;
Ten thousand cities reared their spires
On hill and plain; in mill and forge
Were lighted labors altar fires.
Years we're and passed and threat ming ills
Have left unscatched prosperous land;
Through deadly peril were led -
Unhar1ned, by the Almighty hand.
In the red burrows of grim war
The lily lifts its chaiics white,
And in our flag the stars still shine,
Fixed as the eternal stars of night
How shall we offer fitting thanks
How shall we utter fitting praise
We whom the Lord has richly blessed
With strength, and peace and length of daysa
Not in vain words that promise naught
But in the deeds that shall avail
When rules,-in truth and right
Before which wrong shall cover and quail,
Toward this perfection striving still
Till justice in our midst shall dwell
To reign forever, and whose worth
Nations unborn shall live to tell.

The colored people of indianapolis held pic
tic at the fair grounds and charged twenty five
