the burden Of the fainting Eunice, was
accidentally pushed by Jocelyn-at least.
1t seemed accidental and suddenly, with
scream, came plump down in a sitting
posture upon the cage. The avoirdupois
of the housekeeper, very considerable in
itself, being furthermore enhanced by her
unconscious burden, contributed to the
solidity of the mishap. The cage was
crushed and ilattened into shapelessness
underneath her, and only plaintive, half
smothered croak or two testified to the help
less protest on the part of its gifted oc-
cupant.
Richard Dixon, with another exclamation
very like an oath. extricated the bird, while
Mrs. Miggles, red and angry, was assisted
to her feet by Jocelyn-who now, however,
appeared to be more concerned about the
bird than anything else--and hastily with
drew with Eunice, showing signs of recov-
cry in her arms.
Doc stroked and petted Polly, and, maxi
ing perch Of his finger, flirsed her sooth-
ingly up and down; but she was evidently
done for. Rufled. crippled, and depressed
she looked very much as if she had passed
| head first, through patent clothes
wringer. One eye was permanently filmed
the other blinked pathetically, and sb
could only crane out her neck and give u
terance to few despairing croaks.
| Poke her up!" cried Jocelyn, seizing O
walking stick from one of the jurymen
and suiting the action to the word. That's
the way Mr.. Dixon used to freshen up hel
memory"
Doc snatched the bird away. but too late
to save her from q vicious thrust of the
cane. 1t was the last, unkindest cut of oil
Polly fell to the floor with an expiring
shrek.
Doc ground out an oath, and, finging
himself in chair, glared at the steward
who muttered something like an apology.
Then the coroner hastily continued the in
vestigation, and was just in time to prevent
the ludicrous scene from overcoming the
gravity of the jurors and pretty much every
one else.
The other servants were merely exam
ined for the purpose of obtaining as min
| ute description as was possible of the
mysterious tramp, as l shall still continue
to call him, though tho jury was by this
time unanimous in the conviction that the
tramp was no other than De Marchmont in
disguise; and then the inquest was at
| nm end.
The jury, which was composed of WE'LL
meaning but inexperienced men, found
That the deceased, Phelim Dixon, came
to his death by reason of murderous
assault at the hands of one styling himself
Montague de Marchmont, who, in the opin-
ion Of the jury. had found means to COM
pass his crime by assuming the disguise OF
a suffering and homeless wayfarer."

Living ON Little.

DIR. Tanners experience has consider
ably modified the current notions about
the hunger-resisting capacities of the hu-
man organism; but in America, at least,
people are still apt to strangely overesti-
mate the amount of solid food required
to maintain state of perfect health.
Signor Cornaro probably went too far to-
ward the other extreme, though his daily
ration of half pound of bread and four
ounces of meat enabled him to reach an
age of ninety mine years. Millions of
Hindoos, however, live contentedly on a
pound of rice and a pint of clarified but
ter per day, where the average daily
-quantum consumed by adult North Amer
leans has been estimated to aggregate four
pounds of solid comestibles and two
pounds of more or less nutritive fuids.-

Ran Away in a Balloon.

Some time ago Adolph Weaver began
advertising himself in Vienna as Senior
Jabw, "the great South American aero
naut." He put notices in all the dailies
and on all the bill boards that on June
2 he would ascend to some fabulous
height in balloon and drop back to
earth under a parachute. About q
week before the date Of the proposed
ascension Senior Jabw, q ias Weaver,
began to live extraordinarily high. He
bought great quantities of iewelry, laces
and silks for his wife, and wines and
fine cigars galore for himself. He ate
at the best hotels and ordered clothes
of the most fashionable tailors. He
Paid for nothing, however. He told
the jeweler and the tailor and the
dressmaker and the liquor dealer that
he would settle accounts with them i'm
mediately after the balloon ascension,
from,which he expected to realize much
money. With the credulity character
istic of Continental German tradesmen,
they believed him. They sold him all
he wanted on credit, and tried to sell
him more.
On June / Senior Jabw invited the
city officials of Vienna to observe his
final rehearsal before the exhibition.
In the presence Of the Mayor and the
City Council he and Senolsl Jawb, alias
Frau Viewer, and the parachute ascend
ed in balloon, as high MS hundred
foot rope, made fast to tree and the
balloon car, would allow. After bob
bing about over the official heads Of
Vienna for couple of minutes, Senior
Jabw cut the rope that held him to
Austrian soil, and blew away. That is
the last Vienna and its City Council
and its tradesmen have seen Of Senior
Jabw.
Warrants were sworn out by his cred
itors for his arrest on the afternoon of
his departure. Telegraphic instruc-
tions to detain him were sent out by the
yiennese police to the police of all other
Austrian cities. The chief of detectives
in st. Poelten replied that the balloon
had already passed the city. From
Linz came asimi.ar report. Dispatches
from northeastern towns announced,
eventually that the fugitive balloon was
over the Bavarinn boundary, where Aus
trian policemen and Austrian warrants
were powerless.
The bills of the credulous Viennese
tradesmen against Jabw Viewer were q
dead loss to their holders. The aero
naut and his wife had smuggled out Of
Vienna all their belongings several days
before their flight. The officers, who
went to their apartments to attach the
articles they had never paid for, found
there only bare floors and bare walls

DIR. JUsT, of Coral, Mich, thinks that
he has one of the Oldest horses in the
United States. Twenty-four years ago
he bought him of Dan Rice, the show
man, and then the horse was said to be
% years old. Undoubtedly he was all
of that, for horses ages are seldom
overstated up to 25 years. The other
day State Veterinarian Grange made q
careful examination of the forty-six-
year-old, and pronounced him perfectly
sound of body, wind and limb, and ap-
parently good for twenty years more.
DIR. just uses the old fellow daily in his
practice, and he shows not the slightest

CHAPTER VII.
THE VERDICT.

Did he look, for instance, as if he might
be Count de Marchmont in disguise?" inter-
posed the steward in a strange, thrilling
voice; and we all noticed now that his Deep
set, penetrating eyes were fastened upon
the witness as though he was magnetizine
her.
"Silence!" said the coroner curtly. Il
prefer to question the witness without
assistance. Answer my question at once"
Ito Witness
Without replying, the witness only grew
more pale and more troubled. In addition
to characterizing this girl as beautiful,
have several times spoken of her as "singu-
lar-looking." She certainly was so. With
more of the gypsy than the mulatto in hel
complexion, she had small features strange
~ large, dreamy eyes, and a form singu-
larly combining suggestions of feminine
grace and soft, leopard-like agility and
strength. She mainly, however. impressed
ganlzation OF strange sensitiveness.
VIII you answer my question, or not?'
repeated the coroner sharply.
1t was dark. sad face, all covered with
hair, stammered the witness.
Perhaps if Jocelyn takes his eyes off
her, she can answer" suggested Doc, with
a sneer. He looks as if he was irving to
mesmerize her. And it isn't the first time
either" he added in low voice to me.
Jocelyn broke into laugh.
III quit the room, if the coroner
chooses" said he.
This is too absurd, said the coroner.
Still, Mr.. Jocelyn, If you have no objec-
ton, pray step into the hall for moment. "
Jocelyn bowed, with an amused smile,
and left the room. But the spell, if there
was any, remained upon Eunice. She did,
indeed, heaye sort of sigh of relief as
the door closed upon the steward, but she
gazed straight before her with wide staring
eyes. and, upon the question being repeat
ed. she replied in q mechanical voice, as
though submissive to another will than her
own: Yes, now remember better. The
tramp's face resembled Count de March
mont's very much.
Are you sure Of it? You will swear to
Yes, yes; perfectly sure" in the same
measured tone. Yes, it must have been
the count swear"
The coroner, as well as the jurors, looked
puzzled and dissatisfied; but he could not
reasonably sift the complication further,
after such direct answer.
He made some notes, and then signed
me to re-admit the steward, which did

The fate of Mind-rcader Bishon illu

The fate of Mind-reader Bishop Illus
trates, observes the San Francisco
Chronicle, the danger of cultivating GER
tain faculties when the physical stamina
is not strong enough to stand the strain.
Bishop tried to counteract the effect Of
his exhausting work by taking NOR
phine and chloral. but these poisons
simply aggravated the disturbance of
his nervous system and led to attacks
of insanity. The necessity of rest and
wholesome living needs to be enforced
upon people who make heavy drafts
upon their nervous force, and nothing
could point this moral more strongly
than the death of this rarely gifted man
in his prime.
