A "SHADOWY" ROMANCE.
Why Arthur Wyllis Called His
Wifes Name Mabel"

One day Arthur Wyllis' boarding
house burned down, obliging him to
transfer his belongings elsewhere. He
found new quarters in a street which
had once been fashionable, but had now
declined to 'eminently respectable, "
being mostly given over to lodging
houses. Altogether the retirement of
the place, with its large, handsome
buildings pleased Wyllis very well. He
was refined and imaginative young
fellow, not indeed, averse to society,
but still capable, at times, of preferring
a quiet evening and good book to the
noise and excitement of ''the madding
crowd" as exemplifed by his associ-
ates. His business kept him down
town all day, so that, except on Sum-
days, he was not familiar with any but
the nocturnal aspect of the street.
Every feature of that he knew by heart,
from the first glimmer of the gas lamp
on the corner to the color of the cur
tains at the different windows. In one
OF these windows he became particu-
larry interested, partly because it was
directly opposite his own, and partly be-
cause, at the hour of his return, there
was almost always the shadow of
head outlined on the white curtain.
After his fashion, WYllis began to
speculate about the owner of this head.
On the Sunday following his removal he
looked over curiously to see what he
could discern by daylight. Some one
was certainly in the window, but so dis
guised by the lace draperies that he
could only perceive general feminine
outline. Later, when the church bells
were ringing, he saw very pretty girl
leave the house, but, devoutly as he
hoped it, he had no proof that this was
his unknown Uis-d-viS. For all he could
tell this sweet divinity might live upon
the third or fourth floor, perhaps at the
back, where-horrible thought!-she
flirted with some fellow similarly placed;
while the Lady of the Shadow was per-
haps some venerable dame. In the
midst of this uncertainty chance, in the
shape of a fire alarm, came to his
assistance
When the bells began to sound Wyllis,
wondering if he were going to be burned
out again, leaned out to see, if possible,
where the fire was. Then he glanced
across the way, and saw his neighbor
engaged in the same attempt. Before
the window was closed and curtained
again, Wyllis had ascertained that she
was the same pretty girl he had seen
leave the house.
His mind was now at rest, and his
speculations began to take a more def
mite form. Undoubtedly his beautiful
neighbor was musical, and the nightly
shadow was seated at the piano for the
regular drill. Upon this basis he built
fine castle-in-the-air In fact, he con-
structed an entire romance, Of which
this unknown pretty girl was the hero
inc, whom he worshiped under the
name of Mabel. Her whole history
was-in imagination-as familiar to
him as his own, and he would often
muse upon the circumstances which left
her a lovely waif upon the tide of city
life. He kept all this jealousy from
the knowledge of his companions, who,
he felt, would break the charm, even if
they did not 60 farther and try to estab-

A STRATEGEM.
The Amusing Blunder Committed By q
Long Island Belle.

Long Island Belle.
A young lady from Smithtown re:
turned home little late the other evea
ming, and after parting at the gate witt
q "some one else," crept up the front
Stoop and very softly inserted the
night-latch key in the lock, unfastened
the door and crept in the house so as
not to awaken her parents, who were
slumbering upstairs. But luck was
against her, for she upset chair, and d
voice from above Immediately asked9
"Who's thereP" "Only me, papa"
"What time is it, and where have you
beenP" II only went down to-'s I'd
spend the evening" Imagine the
young lady's feelings when she heard
her parental ancestor get up and pre2
pare to come down stairs. She immedi-
ately set her brain at work to get out Of
the coming storm. She had better turni
the clock little back, so she went I'd
the mantelpiece, and as there was NO
lamp in the room she had to feel for it,
She found it, and gave the KEY
which turns it twist, and with a smifa
sat down to warm her feet and await
the arrival of her dear papa. In due
time he arrived, and brought with him
lamp. The hands on that much
abused clock registered $50 a. m. The
young lady, instead of turning tho
hands back, had turned them ahead
What followed we don't like to tell

"a remember now," Wyllis went on,
ruefully, "that passed some one in the
door 1t was too dark to see just what
] did, but--well, of course, / l0dS going
rather fast, and I'm afraid l pushed by
little rudely. only hope it wasn't
some old lady whom l frightened near

belonged to the dangerous classes"
II can answer for that" spoke up
Bell, demurely, las l myself was the
old lady in question. You certainly
aCere going rather fast Just then! But,
of course, it was all Maggie's fault for
forgetting to light the hall gas" she
concluded politely.
The color came to Wyllis' face again
as he stammered some disiointed words.
But somehow or other, as his eyes met
Bells, the blood came to her cheek
also. Then he bowed himself out and
went downstairs, rejoicing in the
thought of the days to come, in spite of
the unpleasant conviction that, in the
room he had just left, Dick Ellery was
exploding in interminable laughter at
his expense.
A friend of Arthur Wyllis' once asked
him why he called his wife Mabel,
her name being Isabel, whereupon they
both laughed and looked mysteriously
at each other, and the questioner guess
ed that thereby hung tale. And that
was the tale that has just been told, Of

The Parker RecitaIs.

Prof Parker gave the second, and
last, of his recitals at the Y. M. C. A.
Hall last evening AS on the previous
occasion, the Hall was filed by eight
o'clock, at which hour the Professor
opened the entertainment with sub
stitute for "King Robert of Sicily"
"Shaughnus O'Brien," which was SPLEEN
didly delivered. His rendering of
GLOW the Doctor and | Played the
Innocents," by Mark Twain, was ex-
cellent The scene from Hamlet and
Ophelia was very fine. The Professor
paid high tribute to Booths Hamlet.
The soliloquy was most eloquently
given. The Professor substituted "The
Northern Farmer" by Tennyson, for
the scene from "The Rivals" Very
well recited the difficult dialects, in
telligibly rendered
In the second part the "Scene from
Richelieu" was omitted, while the
elderly maidens' objections to the
New Church Organ" convulsed the
audience with laughter. Robert Bu-
chanans ezra Gialomo" was finely re.
cited, as was Max Adeler's "First and
Last Campaigning Speech" By re-
quest, the Professor repeated GLOW
Rubenstein Played the Piano." which
closed most agreeable evenings en-
tertainment.
To many Professor Parker's recitals
are revelations, and the wish was ex-
pressed that he might be induced to
remain here awhile and give lessons in
elocution which, it is safe to say,
would be well attended.
