ITO BE CONTINUED
An AbSent-Minded Statesman.

Coming down from the house on the
hill in herdic, one day last week, were a
cabinet officer, school girl, and two cor
respondents. The cabinet officer got in
last, and fumbling dreamily in his vest
pocket fished up couple of tickets and
put them in the box. Seeing the mirth
in the journalistic countenance, the sec
rotary remarked.
ooh, I put two in, didn't I? thought my
wife was alongw
The schoolgirl dropped her books and
gigled as she scrambled them together
again. The two newspaper men laughed.
1t was SO funny to see such slippery set
of books. The driver looked in and laugh
ed too. He had probably had his hours
reduced to sixteen. The driver told the
secretary through the window that it was
sail right" ''Take the next fare" he
added The next person who got in was
a maiden lady of an uncertain number of
summers and double number OF squaw
winters. Her visage looked as if it would
sour milk. The secretary sat nearest the
box and when her five cents was handed
up the secretary calmly took it and put it
in his pocket according to the previous
agreement, looking dreamily out on the
lovely park and oblivious to everything.
The driver registered the fare on his
gang and all was right as right could be.
All except the newcomer. A study of
her countenence by the two newspaper
men and the schoolgirl would have result
ed in a shocking improperly, but for the
remarkable presence of mind of the latter.
The books slipped again and went spraw-
ling at her feet, while three persons
bumped their heads to recover them and
absurdly. The secretary looked coldly on
this performance. The maiden lady,
whose nickel was snugly ensconced in his
right-hand vest pocket, eyed him indig-
nantly. She bit her thin lips to keep her
mouth shut-another remarkable instance
of feminine presence of mind. She look
ed at the driver, at the schoolgirl giggling
in the corner of the coach, at the two
merry-eyed newspaper men, then settled
back in her seat with an information on
"Well!" that startled the secretary from
his lethargy.
I've got your fare ma'am," said he,
smiling pleasantly and just getting at the
meaning of the thing.
II see you have" retorted the now irate
female. ''You put it in your pocket!''
"That's all right" shouted the driver,
laughing. And then the schoolgirl laugh
ed without dropping her books and the
two newspaper men laughed, and the sec
rotary laughed. Everybody laughed ex-
cept the maiden lady, who jumped up and
rang the bell and hoped out Of the coach
as mad as wet hen.

As to Woerishoffer's gambling habits
toere had never been any secrecy. He
visited gaming table nearly every night
for years before his death. In the noto-
rious Pennsylvania club at Long Branch
he was last summer the most observed
player. His favorite game was roulette,
in spite of the setady and heavy percentage
of advantage to the banker. He used to
play peculiarly. He never bought chips,
but put down bank notes on the numbers.
Sometimes he would lay down as much as
$1,000, but that was exceptional, as the
usual sum was 500. Phil Daley, the keep
er of the place, ordered his dealers to let
Woerishoffer play as heavily as he wished.
As guess of the right number out of
thirty-six won thirty-four times the
amount of the wager, the bank occasionally
stood to lose considerable fortune by a
single turn of the wheel. But the broker
made no such strike, and it was thought
that his season losses at the club amount
ed to at leastS1O0,O0O. In town he played
as inveterately.

CHAPTER NNNU.

She locked the door of her bedchamber
and threw off her walking dress; light as it
was, she felt as if it would stifie her. Even
the ribbon round her neck was more than
She could endure and breathe freely. Her
Overburdened heart found no relief in tears.
In the solitude of her room she thought of
the future. The dreary forebOding of what
1t might be filled her with 4 superstitious
dread from which she recoiled. One of the
windows was open already; she threw up
the other to get more air. In the cooler at
mosphere her memory recovered itself; she
recollected the newspaper that Herbert had
taken from her. Instantly she rang for the
maid. ASK the first waiter you see down

Most English trains consist of the
three classes ofcarriages-hrst, second
and third-each carriage divided into
compartments, such as I have de-.
scribed. In some carriages all the COM
partments belong to one class; in 9TH
ers called composites" one compart-
ment is 6rst-class, another second, and
another third. The difference between
@ frst-class compartment and a Sec
ond or third class compartment is
principally in the furniture and EN-.
bellishments. There is about thesame
number OF cubic feet in both. A first.
class is softly cushioned and carpeted,
and it's full complement of passengers
is six. A second-class compartment
is also cushioned, but the cushions are
not so yielding nor SO handsomely
covered as in the first class; and though
It's size is exactly the same as that OF
the latter, not six, but twelve passen-
gers are expected to be comfortable in
it. There is no velvet pile carpet on
the floor, only a coarse hemp mat.
The cushions of the third. class COM
partment are false to their name, q
mockery compared with tho others.
They are stuffed with hard sub.
stance, and covered with an unpleas-
antly colored rep. Any sort. of, a
cushion is asluxury, which has only
recently been conceded to third-class
passengers. The space provided for
six frst-class and twelve second class,
is used for just as many third-class
passengers as can be squeezed into it,
and the courtesy of the servants, as
we'll as the space, is invidionsly ap-
portioned. The occupants Of thesoft-

Loving a Husband too Much.

Bah in New York Star.
1 have grown to be very liberal
about husbands, and regard them in
many instances as much abused beings;
the why and wherefore OF it comes
from staying at house where the
walls are thin, and whether l wanted
to or not, I had the benefit of some
conjugal conversations. 'Dolly, if
had been out, came in pleasantly, and
woman greeted me with a whine
and sort Of whimpering $50 you've
come at last, have your" I should
think should strike her. Jack says
man would not, but knowing my
own sex, I'm sure woman would. As
for answering man by saying bitter
things against men in general to be ap.
piled to one in particular, a practice
by no means confined to underbred
women, a year in the penitentiary,
ought to be thepunishment. Ofcourse
there are bad husbands, but just now
l am thinking about the bad wives.
A woman we both know, Mrs.
Betenoir, told this about herself:
After she had been married some years
q woman told her she was training
her husband in the wrong way. You
see she was giving him all the love IN
her heart, and that by. some women
is considered improper. The busy.
body who advised her said that hus-
bands grew used to this, and that q
change was advisable; so madame
concluded that perhaps it was so, and
that a course of general nagging and
discomfort would make her husband
more appreclative of his blessings. So
with no feeling in the world against
him she began this treatment. It
worked beautifully. At first he
seemed surprised-then, to her horror,
calmly accepted the state of affairs.
This was not what she wanted, and
Madame was so frightened that she
did not know what to do.
The friend (?) appeared on the scene
and told her that her husband could
be seen almost every evening ip a fash.
ionable restaurant with q gay party
OF men and women. Escorted by that
refuge to q lone woman, a me ssenger boy
she went to where this restaurant was,
stood on the opposite side Of the street
and saw her husband % ii. She rec
ognized all the party. There was no
SPECIAL harm ii them, but they were
people just q little bit wondered at BY
society, though lot absol olutely irowned
upon. Then madame went home, had
8 good cry and thought it all over.
She was sensible enough to see
that the fanlt Vas really

long time, and she never told her hus-
band a word about it. but things did
.straighten themselves out all right.
The first time she met her adviser
about training husbands she cut her
dead. They have a baby now, and
though men laugh at any sentimental
ity about baby, Dolly, you and l

Apropos of the arsenal, while it is pleasant
to picture regiment of soldiers here, with their

for both in the West in the large post at Fort

fruitful would be to have our congressman use
