t. face II in another and less fearful
shape. / could hear the madman's
wild .shrieks and EXPLANATIONS when be
perceived my fight, and as I reached
the top of the stairs l cast terrified
look behind, and beheld him rushing
down the hall with the bayonet in hi,
hand. Just then another lurid flash lii
up every corner of the desolate house
! with binding light, then vanished into
redoubled darkness. My pursuer dashed
headlong up the steps, stumble-a
heavy fall-a deep groan-and all was
silence save the weird voices of the
| storm.
Slowly the hours of that terrible night
dragged by. Remained crouched on
the landing / had reached, afraid to
move lest I should fall through some
unknown opening into the story below.
shrinking in terror from the frightful
violence Of the storm, dreading far more
another attack from the maniac, and
praying as we only pray when in bodily
peril At dawn l heard steps and
voices in the hall and saw men with Ian
terms apparently searching for some
one. Presently, 1heard one of them say:
HE amt in none o the rooms: I've
searched 'em every one, an there amt
no sign of a living thing about EN-
whats that?" said another. who
was standing near the stairs. 81 heard
something move and sorter groan under
the stair-steps. Open that closet there. ="
.'lt's locked"
"Then burst it open. He may have
fell through above there, and hurt HIM
self"
A single shove from a strong shout
der. and the frail planks gave way.
Yes, he was there, lying as he had
fallen, and with deep cash in his side,
from the bayonet with which he had in
tended to immolate me. He was not
dead, poor wretch! 1t would have been
better for him if he werc-but insensi-
BILE from loss of blood. The men raised
him, and carried him back to the asy-
lum in j, from which he had es-
capped the day before. waited till they
were gone, and then clambered down
from my perch. feat which in daylight
l did not lind difficult.
| afterward heard the sad story of the
escaped lunatic. He was young man
of good family and fine talents, who
had become deranged from ince ssant
study and insufficient sleep. having
made it a rule during his college Ca
reer to spare only six hours from the
twenty-four for rest and recreation. He
passed brilliant examination, cspec-
ally in the classics, graduated. with high
hOnors. and shortly afterward his mind
failed and he became an inmate of the
j lunatic asylum.
As for me, could never afterward
hear the remOtest allusion to any
heather god or goddess without an in
voluntary SILVER and vivid recollec-
ton of my startling adventure. g.

A FAMOUS TREE.
Death of the Crescent City's Historic and
Graceful Palmetto.

Death of the Crescent Cfty's Historic and
Graceful Palmetto.
There died recently the oldest inhab-
liant of New Orleans. 1t did not re-
quire Aldrich's story of ..Pere Antoine S
Date Palm to make famous the tall,
graceful palmetto which, for several
centuries at least, has stood in the center
of New Orleans at the corner of Dau-
phine and Orleans streets. More than
one novelist has made it the hero of a
romance. MIR. Demetry has woven !;
pretty story around it, Mr.. Lafcadro
Hearn another, and in that more sober
work, Gayne's History of Louisiana. ~
is given the many stories and traditions
that cling around this tree. No book
has ever been written of New Orleans
but Pere AntOine's date palm has fig
ured in it; no stranger ever visited the
Crescent City but he has been taken
through the narrow Creole streets to
gaze on this tree, whose birth, it was
said. antedated that of New Orleans.
Trad ton fails to tell the origin Of
this tree. Gayane was of the opinion that
it dated from 1927, when Turk, who
claimed to be the brother of the Sultan.
came to Louisiana and received asylum
from Governor Perrier and planted the
date palm. Whenever it was, however,
no history or tradition of New Orleans
goes back to the time when it did not
exist, almost the sole representative of
the vegetable kingdom, in the midst of
the brick and stone in the crowded city.
Among the old Creoles Of New Orleans
this tree has held q place of reverence
like the caaba with Mohammedans.
They have regarded it as if of super
human origin and influence. The tree
bloomed for the last time in 1858. 1t
has presented a healthy appearance since
until very lately. A couple of weeks
ago it showed evidence of sickness, and
whenever the wind blew, bent and
threatened 10 break. An examination
by the owner of the lot, Nine. Claverle,
showed that it was dead, and from its
large size and great height j: was very
dangerous. It was pulled down a few
days ago-all but ten feet of the trunk.
A closer examination proved that the
wood was soft as sponge and rotten.
The trunk, which still remains, was
also found to be decayed and VIII be
remOved.-Chic0g0 Advance.

WAITING.

They have gone through life together,
They have braved its stormy weather,
Many year;
Time has filched from beauty's treasures
HUT love scorns the hoard he measures
With o leer.
MD the worlds turmoil and fretting,
they'd no tears, and vain regretting
For the past;
An their troubles firmly breasting,
They have found the time for resting
Sweet, at last.
There are graves upon the meadow
Baby forms that lie in shadow,
Dark and still;
Abb they fel. life's fountains drying
when they looked on baby, dying,
But-''Thy will!'
Now with pulses throbbing steady,
Hand in hand, they're waiting, readyS
Not sigh
For the time that's swiftly fieetinS,
There will be a joyous meeting
BY and by.
