Mrs. Smiths face was crimson; but
Theophilus was jubilant.
"Mrs. White to L Pass on to
Mrs. Black, my dear. shall have to
use your mind, for / could not bring
mine in unison with gossip" which,
don't you see, was saying that his wife
could.
Mrs. Black and her husband began
life without dollar and worked their
way to comfortable fortune. They
were rather parsimonious, but this
was owing, no doubt, to the rigid econ
omy they had been obliged to practice
in early life. 1t now appeared they
were already conversing about their
entertainment, for Mr.. Blacks words
came directly:
"Such extravaganza would ruin most
men. noticed Smith has real walnut
doors to his library. He took me in
after tea and showed me his books.
Scientific men haven't q grain of sense
not grain Books enough to buy
q house that would rent for five hun
dred yearl"
did you notice the biscuit?" asked
his wife. "They were so rich they
would drop to pieces off the plate. So
much silverl and solid too; for Mrs.
Smith thinks it is vulgar to use plated
ware. She may see the time -"
."Now for Mrs. Gray" said my
friends wife, readiusting the current
with jerk. "She is neither extrava-
giant nor the reverse. They are not
rich and she makes penny serve the
turn of many. Her costumes are ex-
quisite. She may think trife too much
about such things; but she is very low
able and her husband advises her"
With powerful adaptability Mrs.
Smith became in unison with Mrs.
Gray.
"Poor Marion is such dowdyl If
there is any one in this world / like, it
is Marion Smith; but never rec her
that do not ache to fix her up. With
her means, it is too bad that she has
no more taste. The dress she had on
cost enough to clothe me for three
months; but how it lookedl And her
hair oh, dear! could dress it TO look
exquisitely, for it is beautifully long
and abundant.
"But she doesn't give her mind to
such things, Bella; she and Smith are
above it.
IL know it; and their home is de-
lightful; so elegant and quiet, and lit

BEHIND THEIR BACKS.
BY MARY II. T.. HATCH.

Theophilus Smith has invented O
wonderful instrument. 1t has not yet
been patented, owing to an accident
which shall mention later on, and so,
out of loyalty to my friend, who ex-
poets to realize large return from
the invention, 1 shall not describe it
fully, but will give a brief sketch OF
the occasion when it was tested.
A slight preamble, however, is nec-
essary. Doubtless every thinking per-
son has, at some period of his life, puz-
zled himself over the electric COM
munication or responsiveness of mind
as we'll as of matter. For instance, il
frequently happens that thinking deep
ly of q person is the forerunner OF
meeting him, and finding that he has
been engrossed with thoughts of your

My hostess looked little relieved,
and likely, thought, to listen awhile
longer, so said to her:
"Do not forget Mrs. Green, who, you
know, is less likely to be subject of
electrical currents than the others.
She seems to have scarcely any
Thoughts of her own, l thought. Rather
insipid, though no doubt an excellent
lady,"
Tie first ejaculation of Mrs. Green,
however, made us all jump, it was so
unlike her usual languid tone.
Good graciousl" and the instrument
worked with fervor, "I've been think
ing all the way home about that spread
of the Smiths. Talk about their high
breedingl They are simply stupid.
Mr.. Smith seems to have his head in
the clouds oil the time. / like to be
amused and if that old bach that is there
all the time hadn't eaten sauce with
his cake / should have gone to sleep.
They say he was in love with Mrs,
Smith before she married Theophilus.
] wonder if Theophilus knows it How
ridiculous they act over that child of
theirs, thinking he is so bright and
forward and laughing at all his silly
little speeches-actually bringing him
to sit at the table. Homely, too Smiths
nose and Brackets chin is enough to
spoil any child. You know we have
always thought Ebenezer little more
backward than any other children; but
landl he is ten times as smart as that
child"
"Ebenezer, iudeedi" exclaimed my
friends wife, jerking the machine with
so much force that it fell from the
table, saying, feebly: "Such fools ]"
no doubt the beginning OF new SEN
tence by Mrs. Green.
"And thought that woman weak,
gasped my friends wife.
"She seems anything but weak, and
so do you," said Theophilus, ruefully,
lifting up his machine, and seeing at a
glance that it was broken.

this, for / can trust it to no hand but

The time in which the bells will sound
for inaugural games upon every ball park
in the country is not now far distant Ere
another fortnight has passed the teams Of
oil our crack professional leagues and as
sociations will have entered upon their
pennant races, while commercial leagues,
country leagues, and city leagues will be
striving hard for the honor OF victory in
their respective organizations. Never be-
fore has public interest in tho national
game Of the Americans been so wide
spread, and, judging from the make
mp of the great teams in the League,
American Association, and Western Asso-
cation, the struggles OF 1888 will be of o
character well calculated to lay founda-
ton for increased interest one year later.
The manner in which the young blood
of the big league teams has shown up in
practice this spring is certainly most en-
couraging. Crane, Slattery, Foster, Hat
field, and Cleveland, of the New Yorks,
have more than surpassed the expectations
Of their club managers. Hoy and Gardi-
ner, of Washington, have proven good
ones. while Anson writes in the very high
est terms of Clark, Farrell, Krock, Duffy,

ing up splendidly, their improvement over

THE SMELL MURDER.
The Chicago Police Think Tascott 1:
Safe in China or Aus.
tralia.
tChicago special.l

Sergeant Charles E. Aldrich, of the city
detective department, has returned from a
six weeks chase after the elusive William
B. Tascott, who in February last murdered
millionaire Smell. Detective Haines, who
went with Aldrich, is also on his way back.
Both men return under orders, and when
Hainss shall have added his report to that
which Aldrich gave Inspector Bonfeld yes
terday, the police department will have
dropped the case. There are other city
officers working on it now, and Inspector
Bonfeld, who has had charge OF the case,
is satisfied that it is useless to try further,
unless fortunate accident turns up some
new clew. Aldrich has travelled over ,0O0
miles during Il six weeks, and chased
down everything tangible.
where do you think Tascott is now?"
was asked of Sergt. Aldrich.
"The most probable theory is that he
went direct from st. Paul to Vancouver,
and then by steamerto China or Australia.
"He was in st. Paul, then?"
"Not shadow of doubt about that.
But there the troll ends. Haines and bad
plenty of steers to work on, but they devel-
oped nothing. / don't see how Tascott
could have remained in the Northwest and
not been caught, for the whole country was
alive over it and looking out for him and
the $4,000. He's out Of the country, !
believe"
How far West did you gop"
"Clear to the coast. We went carefully
over both the Canadian Pacific and the
Northern Pacific. / in Portland, Van
couver, and Tacoma, and many other
places along the coast. So was Haines.
The greater part Of the time we travelled
separately. :.
ave are practically no further along,
said Lieut.. Henshaw, "than when the search
began. There is hardly clew as TO which
point Of the compass is the proper direc.
ton to look.
A. J. Stone, son-in-law OF the muir
dered man, says he has organized private
detective agency of his own, and will con.
tinue the huat for Tascott until he sue
ceeds in ayresting him, il it takes twenty
