Now the dearest wish OF old Bridget's
heart was TO see her niece Mrs. Rior-
dan, and having seen Pat just few
minutes before she knew exactly how
matters stood between them.
After few minutes silence, during
which she carefully studied the face
before her. she inquired: "An' how's
Pat Riordan these timesp"
"Oh! he was very we'll, when saw
him"
"He shud soon be gettin' married
now, that hear his sister Norah Is
goin' to get married to Tom DAILY"
But / hear We have got another fine
lover now, Mrs. ODoherty's son."

"Oh, them as shud know" said

"Well, We can tell them as shud

said Kitty. sharply.
"Then We wudn't be afther takin
yon fine gintlemanp"
mo, I'd neither be afther nor be-
fore it, said Kitty.
"Then, it's may be Pat you mean to
take, afther all. When's it TO come
of, honey" said the old woman, in
sinuatingly, but for answer Kitty
burst into tears.
In moment Bridget had her niece
in her arms and was literally shower
ing upon her all the endearing terms
in her large vocabulary.
An hour later Bridg ct took her leave
and Kitty showed her to the door with
face much brighter than that of the
morning.

just then he caught a glimpse of
Kitty's blue and white gown through
the hedge. where she was seeking her
stray turkeys.

Good evenin'. Mr.. Riordan," said
Kitty. "Tm so glad we came up this
evenin'," she continued, "for there's a
matther on my min, an, as your an
Guild frien', We might be able to advise

"Any thin 1 can do, you may be

"Well, it's bin weighin' on me min

"Is't shut yerself up inside them

"Shure, it's little enough sunshine we

Kitty shook her head, and looked
over in the direction of the convent
meditatively.

A GORILlA'S BRIDE.

kemarkaDle Adventure OF an African
Woman In the Congo Regions.
THE natives Of Africa are towards
in war;" said Carl Steckleman, the ex-
plorer. "They prefer to take prison
ers, and comparatively few of their
enemies are killed outright. They
are afraid to strike for fear they will
receive more damaging blow in re-
turn. They make slaves of their pris-
oners, and the captives have sorry
time.
"Of all enemies they dread the 60
rila most And he is foe that no
man dare despise. He will fight at
sight Numbers do not deter him.
He is so human and so desperate in
his defense and attack that the Afri-
cans have long learned that to fight
with a gorilla is to fight to the death.
This dreadful animal keeps to the
woods. as it is necessary for him to
grasp hold of the boughs as he walks
on his hind legs. A man is therefore
comparatively safe If he is on the
prairie.

late one OF them. had always heard
it said that the male gorilla would not
harm woman. This is the common
belief in some tribes. One day we
came to a village in which one hut
had been built apart from the rest.
We inquired for the reason OF this and
found that it had been dedicated to a
witch. This witch was greatly re-
vered. She had been the wife OF a
gorilla. The woman had lived in the
village in house which stood on the
edge OF the forest. A great tree over
hung her shanty. In the village all
the trees had been cut down as a
precaution against the gorillas. One
night one OF these animals came out Of
the forest, got up into the big tree
which overhung the woman's house,
climbed down onto the roof, threw the
roof off, swung down into the hut,
seized the woman, climbed up through
the hole in the roof up in the tree and
went away into the woods, carrying
the woman with him. His great
strength made this an easy thing for
him to do. He could hold her in one arm
and with his two hind legs and his one
free forearm make his way up and down
trees or through the woods. The
woman was gone for many days. The
people saw that her house roof had
been torn of. They looked carefully
pround the house and saw that there
we're no tracks whatever. They then
knew that the dread enemy had car
ried her off. One day she came back.
She told wonderful story. The go-
rilla had carried her for miles into the
woods, and finally had climbed great

A Dig in the Ribs.

If OH the right side and lower part of the
diaphragm, though playfully meant and
delivered, is calculated to evoke profanity
from chappy whose liver is out of order.
When that region is sore and copgested,
pokcs seem fiendish. Look at a mans
countenance ere you poke him under the
ribs. Il his skin and eyeballs have sal
low tinge, you may infer also that his
tongue is furred, his breath apt to be sour
that he has pains not only beneath his
ribs, but also under the right shoulder
blade. Also, that his bowels are lrregu-
lar and his digestion impaired. Instead
of making jocose demonstration on his
ribs, recommend him to take and steadily
persist in taking Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, the finest anti.bilious and Alternative
medicine extant. Incompatible Is 1t, also
for dyspepsia, rheumatism, nervousness,

Baby, you stand by gate that leads
Into land OF dreams;
There's drowsy Waterman here who heeos
Never the struggling CLEANS
or light that stray from the far-on sun
Always for him its twilight begun
And we stand by the gate,
And watch and wait
And watoh-and waiti
Little one hear what the stream sings OF
Here IN this quiet land;
It sings OF the Joy OF mother love
Sings to birds in the sand
To the strange, tall birds with dreamy eyes,
That look at you, dear, In mute surprise.
While We stand by the gate,
And watch and wait,
And watch-and watt
II you open the gate no one will know;
The guard will never guess.
You must open II gently slowly-soi
No one has heard, unless
Those dreamful birds, or the dreamland sheep,
Heard you stealing through their land OF slice .,
While stood by the gate,
To watch and wait,
And watch-and waiti
Oh, strange are the birds ana the sheep thai
dwell
Here In the land Of dreams
But you must not see, and you must not tell,
However strange 1t soems
Or they'll never let you In again,
And II would not please you, baby, then,
just TO stand by the gate,
And watch and walt,
And watch-and wait!

CHARLOTTE THOMPSON

At the Crawford this evening the above
renowned actress opens an engagement OF
four nights and a matinee. Among the
repertoire is the play or Jane Eyre" and
of this play the Brooklyn Standard Union
speaks as follows:
"Jane Eyre was performed last night
by Charlotte Thompson and her company
at the Brooklyn theater before very large
audience. She was greeted with warm
cordiality, and the welcome was extended
to her company, which is quite a strong
one. The leading support was William
+. Burroughs, who played the part Of
Lord Rochester, and he was equally sue
cessful with Charlotte Thompson in wir-
ming applause. In fact, they were both
brought before the curtain after each act.
The drama itself, as Is well known, Is q
most entertaining one, showing how a
young girl after being Inundated by her
nearest relative, is put away in an orphan
asylum, becomes a governess TO the ward
o. an English lord, and eventually lnarries
his lordship, as well as becomes the
heiress of her uncle wealthy West In
dian planter. Jacob Buttercup, impereon-
ated by Z. H. Stevens, deserves word Of
commentator for his share in contribut-
ing TO the evenings amusement. His
dancing in lighting up" causes no little
