A PROFESSIONAL ECONOMIST

He Gets Theatre Seats and Other LuxurIes
 at Reduced Prices and Concerts Free.
 The other evening a good looking man about 26 years old, wearing a dress suit, came down the aisle ten minutes after Mr. Irving appeared as Mephistopheles, and with the air of millionaire sat 1own in q seat
 He has a small income, but he is always on hand at high priced entertainments said gentleman who occupied seat next to 6 reporter and not far from the late comer
 How does he do itf'
 "He is good fellow and as far as economy goes he is genius If there were many like him, his economy would not avail him any thing, because the profession would be too crowded. He occupies a s seat, but paid only $1.50 for it. It cost him s1 to come in and he paid the head usher fifty cents for the privilege of occupying a seat the rapacious ticket speculator could not dispose of. Ten minutes after the curtain goes up the shrewd usher knows pretty much the empty seats that will not be occupied. When the genius gave him fifty cents for a seat he made cer- tain of rebate in case a late conner should claim it. The rebate is twenty-five cents or 50 per cent, no scaling, no postponement Concerts! Why, his kind never pay to 20 to them. He dresses we'll, and concert managers are only too glad to get him to act as first class material to paper the house. There are few concerts that can absolutely claim a full paid house.
 "At the fashionable restaurants he is ire quently seen with a lady. He orders for one and receives almost enough for three The young woman does not know he has ordered for one, because he writes the order When he goes alone he orders only one or two | dishes. His greatest trouble is when neces- sity forces him to ride in a cab, and the way he brings the Jehu down to regular schedule prices is something that should be emulatel by the average citizen, who permits 'cabby' to fleece him. Boutonnieres and corsage bouquets he easily buys at half price. He does that by drumming for the house he purchases from. His clothing is bought on the same plan as the flowers, and often the tailor is happy to make sure of 50 per cent. below his regular prices. It is we'll known fact that tailors make the Dutchmanis 1 per cent. on many of their customers, but they do not lose on the goods, no matter how cheap they pretend to be. You rarely hear of one of his kind acting as groomsman at a wedding, because he would be required to buy handsome present. If you ever did know of one acting in that capacity, you may rest assured that the present was purchased by the bridegroom. n-New York Mail anG | Express.

THE WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT MONDAY. JAN. g. 88s

at a ball where Julia was. He was some what pale, but cool and correct, and his dress was irreproachable He came up to her and handed her a package of bank notes
 "What is thisgn asked she.
 aFhe 100, 900 francs which you owe Roger Laroque. Tomorrow morning he must have these in his possession without fault or fail ure"
 q thought he was in very straitened cir cumstancesW
 "He is"
 aThen this is safety. Is that my ven- geancea"
 aThrough that he is lost"
 "I will do it, though do not understand It."
 She took the notes and hid them while Lu- versan showed himself few moments among the guests. The next morning she drove to Laroaue and left him the package of money, with what results we know.
 It was two or three days later before Lucien heard of Rogers arrest, under the accusation of robbery and murder.
 "That is the widest folly," said he, and without losing time he went direct to M. Lie nard, and he gave Lucien full information of the case as far as it had gone. who was un- sparing in his denunciation of those who had conspired to accuse Roger of so horrible a crime.
 Returning full of rage and indignation, he was the first to tell Julia. She grew pale, but listened without saying n word. Now she understood. Luversan had killed La rouette and Roger was to bear the blame. She exulted over her vengeance. Roger was lost if she did not speak She was not touched by the sublime devotion of Laroque, who preferred Q condemnation and almost certain death to dishonoring Lucien by revealing the truth Her hatred was not yet appeased. She had pleaded so much without having been heard, had shed so many bitter tears that now she wished that her tears might be as nothing beside those of Roger. The night she heard of this she went to a secret drawer in her bureau and taking there from photograph of Roger, she looked at it with burning eyes, and then with a half savage gesture she seized small poignard

Lunatics Cured by Kindness.


 The strange colony of lunatics at Gheel, in the Belgian Campine, has long engaged the attention of specialists, and so satisfactory has been its working that duplicate of it has lately been established In these col onies the lunatics are boarded out with the inhabitants, live as members of the family, assist in their work, and have liberty to move about at will The regularity and healthful- ness of the life led by the afflicted inhabitants of Gheel restores a considerable proportion of them to their right mind.
 Gheel, however, is in the Flemish speaking portion of Belgium, and it has of late years been found that patients from the Walloon country, who speak only French or the Wal loon patois, were awkwardly placed, and their recovery retarded by the absence ot ready means of communication with those about them. The experiment was therefore made of establishing a French speaking col ony at Lieurneaux, in the Walloon country, near Spa; and it has been so successful that it has now been placed upon a permanent basis.
 The cost of pauper lunatics to their com munes does not exceed a franc day. Nei- ther at Gheel nor at Lieurneaux has it been found that constant intercourse with luna. tics has increased the tendency toward insan. fly ambng the natives.-st. JamsS Gazetxe.

ROGER LAROQUE.
Adapted and Translated from the French
 of Jules Mary.
BY OLIVE HARPER.

"Susanne! Henriettei My daugnteri My beloved wifel'
 But Susanne and Henriette, surprised by his sudden appearance, drew back with Q horror so visible that the judge shuddered. Instinct was stronger thar ,'ill, and they saw in Laroque not the adored husband and father, but the assassin-the man with burn ing eyes, with bushy beard, with great powerful shoulders and hands, whom they had seen strangle that poor old man. And Roger understood this terror and was troubled by it.
 "What," he stammered, syou fly from mel In what have changeds Is it because an in sensate accusation hangs over me. as ridicu- lous as it is unmerited, that I am neither your father, Susanne, nor your husband Henriette?"

Testing the Lad's Honestly.

A lawyer engaged new boy recently, and, as he had suffered to some extent from the depredations of his former lad, he deter mined to try the new boys honesty at once. He therefore placed e5 note under a weight on his desk, and walked out without a word Upon his return half an hour later the note was gone and half a crown in silver had taken its place.
 sBoy, when went out left a5 under this weight"
 'Yes, sir; but you see you hadn't been gone five minutes when a man came in with a bill against you for e4 17s. 6d. believe the change is correct"
 'sYou paid billF'
 "Yes, sir; there it is all receipted. The man said it had slipped your mind for the past four years, and SOL That boy got the sack on the spot.-London Tid Bits.

CHAPTER VII.

The case dragged on for several days, and nothing of importance intervened. To all the questions Roger answered.:
 q am innocent, but shall not defend my self They can do as they please with me-"
 He delivered himself up to the fatality which seemed to have taken possession of him. If there had been the least doubt in the mind Of the justices or. lack of connecting links ill the chain of evidence, Roger might have been saved, but unhappily everything seemed to point to his guilt, and all these things formed in the mind of M. De Ligne roles an unshakable proof. After this first examination the case was sent up to the court of assizes of Seine ct Disc, then in session at Versailles
 Henriette learned this through the papers. She went out no more and seemed buried in a strange torpor, mental and physical She never pronounced word and even seemed to forget the existence of her little girl, and sat hours without moving or appearing to see She ate. almost nothing and did not attempt to go to bed at all, and if she did sleep it was sitting ill her chair.
 Her little girl watched over her as if she was the mother and Henriette the child, and she doubtless would have starved had it not been for the cnllQ.
 Henriette had an uncle who lived at some thirty or forty miles from there, and hearing of his niece's trouble, he and his good old wife left their home and foundry and hastened to her, and the childless old couple did everything they could possibly imagine to Tighten her sad load.
 One morning Henriette was gone There was no trace of her to be discovered and the most diligent search revealed nothing, until one day, some six or seven days after her dis appearance, a policeman found on the bank of the river tiny slipper which was recog- | nized as hers.
 Then they dragged the river and searched for miles along its banks, but they never found the body of poor Henriette, and the uncle and aunt remained in the house to keer charge of it until Rogers trial was ended Little Suzanne sat listless and pale ill hel chair day after day, rousing but seldom though she never mentioned the absence o1 her father nor the dreadful ordeal through which she had passed.
 Mme Do Noirville had dreamed of ven geance. She was now avenged more com pletelv than she had wished. She had threat ened Roger with its weight. Revenge me but revenge me welll" she had cried tt B Luversan; their compact was concluded. few days after this Luversan, and only twt
 hours after ths mudtshr of Larduette apueatet

 and pierced the photograph through the heart. Then on the back of it she wrote the date of tho murter-'tthe 18th of July, 1a72" and little lower the date of the arrest s'tle 3oth of July, 1S72"-leaving the place for the date of the sentence.
 A few days later Lucien said to his wife: "I do not plead ill court, but I shall be beard once more"
 Vaguely uneasy Julia said:

 He lay stretched on his bed, not asleep, but worn and weary, when a jailer came and called him rudely and opened the door to let Lucien come in, and, overpowered with emotion, he almost fell, and Roger received the poor maimed man in his arms.
 "Ah, Lucien, then you believe me inno- cent?"
