John assassinated. He suspected no.
body.
Ireported to the magistrates and pub
lie officers all / knew about the death,
and minute inquiry was prosecuted
over the whole island. Nothing was
discovered.
One night, about three months after
the crime, had fearful nightmare.
l seemed to see that hand, that horrible
hand, running like scorpion or
spider over my curtains and walls.
Three times awoke, and three times
on going to sleep again | saw the hid
eous member running about my room,
moving its fingers like feet.
The next day il was brought TO me.
1t had been found in the cemetery on
the grave of Sir John Rowell. The
forefrger was gone.
Had an explanation TO suggest It
would but overthrow your wild imag-
inings, aud would not be likely TO find
acceptance with you. My belief is
simply that the lawful owner OF the
hand vas living, and had come in search
of il with the one that remained to him.
But have not been able TO picture to
my satisfaction the manner of his re-
yenge.-From the French.

4 Costly Hiss.

A good story is told OF Booth, the tra-
gedian, which illustrates his indlher-
ence TO the class of women who always
find something irresistible and fascinat-
ing in the men who earn their living
behind the footlights. Booth was trav-
cling on the Boston Il Albany road one
day, and he heard an eXpensively dress
ed, handsome, middle-aged woman back
of him say TO her companion: 81 would
give fifty dollars to kiss that man."
Booth turned suddenly and looked nj
the speaker. "Do you mean thatF' he
demanded, fixing his fine dark eyes upon
her, and causing the blood to mount to
the very roots Of her hair.
"Why, yes, of course | do" replied
the woman, confusedly, looking In a
helpless sort of way at the great TRACE
dian and at the smiling passengers.
We'll, accept the terms, madam,
exclaimed Booth, solemnly.
'And i stand by my proposition,
said the woman, recovering her self
possession, and, rising, she imprinted Il
sound kiss upon the actors lips.
Booths face did not betray the slight
est emotion. He received the kiss stol-
idly and did not return ii, but waited
until the impetuous woman found her
purse and handed him $50 bill. lie
took the money, thanked her, aud turn
ing to a feeble, shabbily-dressed woman
on the other side Of the aisle, who was
travelling with two young children,
placed the money in her hands and with
a courtly bow said:
"rhis Is for the children, madam.
Take it please" and without another
word left the car.

Translated from Victor Hugo by Clint
.... Iocke.1

Translated from Victor Hugo by Clinton
Cain fed before the Lord, and with him went
His children, skin-clad, all with storm be-
sprent.
The evening fell. The sad man sought repose
Where from the desert great mount arose.
His wife, exhausted. and his sons, outworn.
Slept on the ground, while he the man forlorn
Sat thinking, sleepless at the mountains
base.
He raised his head, and right before his face,
Staring, wide open. in the blackened sky,
He saw regarding him moveless Eye.
"I am too near" he said, and shook with
fright,
Then walked the tired flock, and in the night
He fed away into the nameless space,
And thirty days and nights, with ceaseless
pace,
He marched and marched, and shivered as
he went,
Furtive and dumb. on every noise intent;
No rest, no sleep. At last upon the strand
Ofancient seas where now is Syrian land,
He stood. "Stay here. In this asylum sure,
Here let us rest The world goes on no more"
And as he sat, there famed upon the sky
All, how he trembled in that Horrors grip!
"Hide me-" he cried: and, finger on their lip
His sons gazed sadly on their father fierce.
Cain said to Jubal, prince Of those who pierce
Deep in the desert with their tents OF skin,
"Pitch here thy tent, and fence me safely in.'
He did. He quick outspread the floating wall,
Staying its corners with the leaden ball.
"Dost see 1t now ?" said Zillah, fairest child,
The daughter OF his son, like morning mild.

Humorous Elephants.

A young friend asked me once to
show him some elephants In undress,
and took him along with me, having
first borrowed All apron and filled IL
with oranges. This he was to carry
while accompanying me in the stables,
but the moment We reached the door
the herd set up such a trumpeting-
they had scented the fruit-that he
dropped the apron and its contents and
scut.led of like scared rabbit. There
were eight elephants, and when picked
up the oranges l foGnd had twenty
five. walked deliberately along the
line giving one to each; When j got to
the extremity Of the narrow stable i
turned and was about to begin the dis
tribution again, when | suddenly re-
flected that if elephant No. in the row
saw me give two oranges in succession
to No. s, he might imagine he was be-
ing cheated, and give me smack with
his proboscis-tbat Is where the ele-
phant falls short Of the human being
so went to the door and began de moro

Thrice / went along the line, and
then was i'm a fix. Ibad one orange
left, and had to get back to the door.
Every elephant in the herd had his
greedy gaze focused on that orange. 1t
was as much as my life was worth TO
give it TO any one oi them. What was
to do? ] held it up conspieuousiy,
coolly peeled it, and sucked it myself.
1t was most amusing TO notice the way
those elephants nudged each other aud
shook their ponderous sides. They tho
roughly entered into the humor Of the
