AN HOUR OF HORROR.

The CHASTITY Corpse Found In the Back
Yard of a Literary Mans Domicile.
1t was close upon the hour of mid
night.
A man sat alone in an upper room in
tumble-down tenement; man whose
face showed by its furrowed brow,
glazing eyes and pallid lips the effects
of a terrible mental struggle going on
within him.
Before him were several pages of
manuscript, and his nervous hand con-
vulsively clutching a pen. was rapidly
adding to them.
Close to his right hand and fire.
quently touched by it as he piled his
pen was a cleaning, glittering object
of ivory, silver and steel-a loaded re-
volver.
The window beside him was open.
and through it the cool breeze entered
and famed his fevered brow. The
night without was calm and placid.
Nature was lovely, bathed in the light
of the summer moon; but the man was
oblivious to the beauties of the night.
He glanced at the clock now and then,
and observing the long hand climbing
up the incline toward the figure twelve,
he redoubled his labor at his manu-
script.
Anon he glanced at the revolver on
the desk beside him. He touched its
ivory handle as if faltering in his reso-
ton, and then went on with his writing
| Hark.
What sound is that that is borne upon
the breeze of the summer night? A
long, low wall, like the cry of woman
in mortal anguish.
The man started like a guilty soul,
dashed the dews of perspiration from
his clammy brow, and uttered an inco-
herent exclamation.
Again! Again, that moaning, I'M
canny cry!
The man heard it and groaned aloud
He dashed aside the last page of his
manuscript, and glanced again at the
clock. The hands marked the hour of
midnight. He grasped the revolver
with resolute air and exclaimed
through his clenched teeth:
ut must be donen'
And going to the window, he fired
twice There was a
scattering sound in the back yard, and
next day a gray cat was found dead

A LOST CHARACTERISTIC.

Shyness AN Attribute of Young People
Which Has Completely Disappeared.
At one time of day most children
used to be born shy. We have always
been taught this as tradition of the
race. and. carrying our memories back
half century, we can bear corrobora-
tive test mony to the fact. We can re-
member feeling very shy ourselves even
at the age of seven. We should never
have thought of speaking till we were
spoken to, or coming without being
called, or of assaulting the central
plum cake. or asking the lady on whose
knee we sat how old she was and how
much money she had. There were
many pauses in the conversation when
we went into society at that age. and
met other shy little people. The over
lures Of acquaintanceship between
children used to be very slow and ten
tatiye; we remember particularly ex-
changing sweets with four year-old in a
blue sash. long before we dared ask her
what her name was, and long before
she dared tell us our hair was rough.
Children then required encouraging and
bringing forward" But now. The
shy child has disappeared We have
DO sterous masters and misses, and we
have quiet. self-possessed ones; some
are very unruly. and some are compar-
atiyely tractable; but none are shy.
Some Pied Piper of Hamelin has been
round and played all the shy ones away.
Similarly, at a more advanced age, it
used to be serious exhortation to Young
men and maidens to overcome shyness.
1t was preached to them that bashful-
ness was bar to social intercourse and
to mental improvement, ard they were
instructed how. to acquire an easy
manner; but all these exhortatons
which we find repeated constantly in
old manuals for the modelling of con-
duct read like so much sarcasm now.
Yon may look round where you will
among youths. but that black swan. the
shy youth. has migrated for good. You
fino plenty OF pert youths. and OF
self sufficient youths many aggressive
youths. and no end of patronizing
Youths, even now and then self-po
scsscd youth who is nevertheless
modest; but the shy youth-neyer.-

A PULLING QUESTION.
Why the Old Lady Criticised the Countr,
School Master.

School Master.
Some persons seem wholly unable to
cope with scientific facts. their inability
being doubtless due largely to circum-
stances and their education. For hun
dreds of generations men were puz-
zled by the same problem which now
seems so simple to us. A teacher in a
western county in Canada, while max
ing calls among the people, came into
conversation with a farmers wife from
Vermont, who had taken up her resi-
dence in the ''backwoods. " OF course
the school and former teacher came in
for criticism, and the old lady, in speak
ing of his predecessor, asked:
eva al, master, what do you think he
learned the scholars?'
Il couldn't say, ma am. Pray what
did he teach?'
.'Wa'al, he told 'em this ere arth
was round; what do you think of such
stuff"
Unwilling to come under the cate
CORY of the ignorant, the teacher eva
sively remarked:
1T does seem strange, but still there
are many learned men who teach thosa
things"
"Wa'al," says she. ''if the earth is
round, and goes round, what holds il
up"
"Oh, these learned men say that i,
goes round the sun, and the sun holds il
up by virtue of attraction"
The old lady lowered her specs, and
responded with this poser:
WAS al, if these high larnt men SCI
the sun holds up the arth, l should like
to know what holds the arth up wher
the sun goes DOWN. You,h'S Compan

YOUNG SHAKESPEARE.
The SchooI-Room in Which the Great Poet
Learned His A-B-C's.

The SchooI-Room in Which the Great Poet
Learned His A-B-C's.
Though Shakespeare's parents were
illiterate, they knew the value of a good
education. The free grammar school
had been refunded few years before
by Edward VI. And although there is
no actual record of his school-d avs, we
may take it as certain that little VIII
Shakespeare was sent to the free school
when about seven years old, as we know
his brother Gilbert was, little later.
The old grammar school still stands;
and boys still learn their lessons in the
self-same room with the high pitched
roof and oaken beams, where little
VIII Shakespeare studied his "A-B-C-
book" and got his earliest
notions of Latin. But during part OF
Shakespeare school-days the school
room was under repair; and boys and
master-Walter Roche by name-mi-
grated for a while to the Guild Chapel
next door. And this was surely in the
poets m;EI rhen, in later years, he
talked of a ''pedant who keeps a school
i the church.
All bows learned their Latin then from
two well-known bools-the ''Aceidence'
and the .'Sententie Pueriles. And
that William was no exception to the
rule we may see by TRANSACTIONS from
the latter in several of his plays, and by
an account, in one of his plays, of Mas
ter Pages examination in the 'Acci-
dence. Rose Kingsley, IN 81. Nicholas

DiSGUSTED SHARPERS.
They Play an Old Game on a Michigan
Farmer and Get Left.


There is a sharper's game which has
been played for the last hundred years,
and as the turning point is avarice the
game works forty-nine times where it
fails once. Two sharpers set out few
weeks ago to play it on Wayne
County farmer. One of them came
along one day and wanted to buy the
farm. AS the farmer wanted to sell
it was quite easy to strike bargain.
The price was to be $4,000 in cash, and
the man handed over $3.50 to bind the
bargain. Within two days a second
stranger came along and wanted the
farm. He wanted it so bad that lie
couldn't stand still. He found indica-
tons of coal, natural gas and coal oil,
and he was willing to give SIS, 800 for
the place. The idea was, of course,
that the farmer would be awful sick of
his first sale and seek to buy the man
of. 1t would pay him to offer the man
81 800 to release him.
The second stranger was only out of
sight when the first one turned up
again. His mouth watered over the
plOsptCt, Dut nol lOl ionD. nc ldi III
er explained that he had been offered
-, 800 more, and added
''But don't care for money. The
"a, 900 is enough for me, and it's all the
old farm is worth. When you are
ready to pay the balance Wen make out
the papers.
The purchaser offered to release him
for 81, -S700-S500-$ $500, but the
farmer didn't want to be released. He
hung to the bargain money, and he's
got 1t yet, while the pair of sharpers
rave and gnash their teeth every time
they think of the thickness of his skull.

CHECK-RAlS
The Fine Work Done by Professionals in
This Line of Crime.

The Fine Work Done by Professionals in
This Line of Crime.
Judging from the amount of it
going on all over the country, check
raising has got to be fine art" said
one of Pinkerton's detectives the other
day. There seems to be a regular
epidemic of it. 1t is putting forgery to
the blush entirely. To see how neatly
and scientifically the rascals do their
work, too, is seven days wonder.
Without doing the slightest percepti-
BILE damage to the paper, they appear
to be competent to remove any kind of
ink and leave the paper in as good a
condition as new, so far as writing on
it is concerned. Not only do these
check-raisers manipulate the writing
on check with great skill, but they
successfully obliterate the stamped fig-
ures. Even those figures that are cut
clean out of the paper are not sure
protection against the raisers skill. A
draft with the original perforated fig
ures filled in with papier-mache was
shown to me recently. The alteration
had evidently been made and then the
paper pressed dried and colored like
the original margin. The very scroll
work of the engraver had been repro
duced, and then numbers identical in
character with the original ones
stamped out. The draft was raised by
this means from Sl7 to $2,7S0.45. 1t
required very strong glass to detect
the work, and the crooks had undoubt-
edly spent much time and great skill in
perfecting it. Even when detected by
the glass the draft only presented a
blurred and somewhat discolored APP
pearance, and to any one but an expert
would have passed as genuinely. Y.

SUM M Err WRAPS.
Nantes Varied in Form and Style-Eccen-
trio Parasol Handles.


trio Parasol Handles.
Black mantles are far too serviceable
to be discarded but, having this con-
cession to color, no pains are spared
in supplying lace, insertion, velvet and
jet to produce a vehement such as it
would be hopeless to try to initiate in
inferior materials. In form as we'll as
style the wraps are more varied than
they have been for years. AS rule
the back fits closely and is short, while
the plaits below the waist are rarely
supplied in the substantial fabric,
which is closely nodded to the figure.
The folds, however, appear abundantly
in flouncings of lace, which are used,
in most instances, for trimming.
Lace wraps are going to be more
popular this season than they have
been for years, wool lace, where more
expensive varieties are not chosen,
being very popular. Fichus of black
lace are worn by young girls; they are
mostly made of fulled Chantilly, sup
piled in graduated plaits over the
shoulder to describe V at the back.
Drops of jet fastened to each point of
the lace serve to keep these folds in
place. The Chantilly is carried in a
similar manner over the front to form
crossover cape.
There is nothing especially new
shown in parasols except in the odd and
eccentric handles. Some, almost too
large and cloud" for general accepta-
ton, have a pug's head almost as large
as puppy's covered with dog skin.
Other smaller ones have a harc's head
with startled looking ears and sleek
greyhound's. The en- tout cas- handles
are massive looking and require good
grip. The double handkerchief-shape
parasol, which was so popular last
summer is 10 the fore again, one square
forming the foundation, and a second
laid above it, with the corners fitting
in between those of the first, and the
whole edged with deep lace. Some
in black and white checked silk, for
half mourning, are most fascinating.
Deep-tinted cafe az la1 is one of the
new shades. New parasols, imported
from London, have their handles of
wood covered part of their length with
the surah or India silk used for the
canopy. The end has carved knob of
gold or silver and chain that passes
over the arm for carrying the parasol
