AN ABSENT MINDED MAN.

Cincinnati has the champion
absent minded man.. A gentle~
man living in the suburbs went liz
a store on Walnut street to nlake
a few purchases. Tee only light
in the store was candle standing
On the counter near the money
drawer, After making ais pur~
chases he handed the proprietor Il
bill, and after returning him the
change the proprietor walked tv
the rear OF the store to arrange
something, when suddenly he was
left i'll the daIk. He started
toward the counter, and groping;
around it, found, not the candles
but the change. 1t struck him
then that probably the man, in a.
fit Of Observation-Disclosures, had
taken the candle instead Of his
change. He started out after hinir
and, catching up with him, saw
that he had the bundle in one
hand and the candle in the other,
Afterapologizing for the mistake"

LIFETIME or OCEAN CABLES.

The future extension of ocean
telegraphy will be materially in
f1uencel by some facts just pub
lished in the London Electrical
Review showing the remarkable
durability OF submarine ar1nored
cables.
The Review states~that portions
of the Channel cable laid in 1851
have been lately recovered with
the iron wires o-slightly corroded
as practically to have lost but
little Of their original strength"
Yet this was not protected by a
compound or outer coating, such
as that with which ocean cables
laid in recent years have been
served. The galvanized wires of
she section Punta Rassa-Key
West cable OF 1875 were found a
short time ago when taken up for
repairs to be almost if not fully as
on the dap the cable was sub
merged.
Other instances may be cited
which show that deep sea cables
of the modern armored type are
practically proof against the chem
ical action of the water, the teeth
OF submarine insects and the me-
chanical force of currents travers-
the floor Of the ocean.-N. Y.

A GARRETT MYSTERY.

It was with strange feelings that
Arthur Haywood found himself
in the guest chamber of his Aunt
Maud's house. He had never
seen her before today, when he
had been summoned in haste to
her bedside. AS it was her wish
to.make him her heir, she wanted
to see him ONCE before she died.
1t was a long time before he
could compose his mind to sleep
in this gloomy spare room, and
when he did his dreams were
troubled. Toward morning he
awoke with shiver, conscious
that he was not alone in the room.
A woman stood beside his bed,
tall and gaunt, with streaming
hair. w..
Hear me-" she. said solemnly.
"Tonight Maud Haywood will die
natural death. Go to her before
it is too late-I wish to have her
executedp'
Twice more through the night
this figure appeared and repeated
these words, and when the morn
ing came Haywood learned his
aunt had died IN the night. She
left him all her fortune, with the
proviso that he must keep the gar
ret locked as long as he lived in
the house. Otherwise some other
disposition was to be made of her
fortune. It was SMALL thing to
ask, and ~Heywood had no hesi-
fancy, in accepting the terms. In
time he married and came with
his wife to live at Haywood Man
! or.
Years brought them a family
and still the garret remained
closed. A garret is a great loss to
a housekeeper, but whenever Mrs.
Haywood made this remark heI
husband would reply that 1.-the es.
tate would be a greater. one"
"Who will ever know?' she
would urge. "Who caress"
ga codicil which [ have never
seen remains" Arthur would re-
ply. "Who knows what might
happen2''
And SO his Fatima did no more
than peep through the keyhofe e1
this Blue Boards chamber.
The mystery was greater, how
ever, to the children, and whe1
the eldest boy was ten years old i
had occurred to him that nothing
could be so delightful as to peeI
into that garret. in which NIGH
be hidden all sorts of wonderful
treasures. And so one day, b,
means of a ladder some fruit pick
.ers had left near the house, h
| gained the sloping roof and reach
ed the dormer window. Perche,
on the sill, he peeped in; but a
the moment the ladder slipped
. He remained on the window ledg
screaming for help, and the frui
pickers hearing him ram to his as
sistance. However, though tn

roof, the men could not reach him,
and knowing nothing of the taboo
which forbade the opening Of the.
garrett door, one of them .badei the
child remain where he was until
he came and rushed up the stair
case, followed by all the house
hold. The door was soon broken
in, the window opened, the child
rescued. And then the woman,
who until now had. forgotten all
but her boys danger, took breath
and looked. about her.
The garret was Bare. place,
hung with old garments and
smelling hideously. In one dark
corner lay what looked like a bed.
Upon it-what? To approach, to
gaze and to rush wildly from the
room was the work of moment.
It. was skeleton dressed IN a
gray gown and with cap upon its
head, still covered with long black
hair, that lay there.
Arthur Hey wood was absent
from home at the time. When he
returned he fouHd the long-sealed
garret door opened, heard his
wife's story amid her sobs of ter
ror and proceeded to the spot.
There he stood, transfixed with
horror and astonishment.. The
skeleton on the bed wore the gray
dress, the white cap and had the
straight black hair of the woman
who had appeared to him thrice in
vision demanding the execution
of his aunt, Maud Haywood.
Whatever this meant, the dis
! covery was a public one, ard SO
must the explanation be. Ar
thur sent for the proper authori
ties and also for the lawyer in
whose possession was codicil of
the will that had given Arthur
possession of the estate. This
codicil had been enveloped and
sealed by Miss Maud, who alene
knew the contents. It contained
these words:
"This paper will only be opened

TOOK THE LAST GAME.
St. Paul Beats Omaha Without
ANY Difficulty.

The last game of the st. Paul Omaha
series, witnessed by 1000 people, gave
promise in the first three innings of
being a very close one, but st. Paul
began to pull away in the fourth inning,
and won with ridiculous ease. The
game was peculiar mixture of bad and
brilliant playing. The Nebraska team
hit Tuckerman very hard, but when
men got on bases the st. Paul players
settled down to hard work, and,
bic stops and throws ever seen
at Athletic park. retired the runners be-
fore they reached the plate, except in the
third, seventh and eighth innings, in
each of which one man crossed the rub
Der. In spite of the fact that the Apos-
ties made half a dozen errors they
were not costly, two of the three Omaha
runs being made on clean, hard hitting.
Among the pretty catches were those OF
Walsh, Caravan, DAILY and Murphy.
The last occurred in the eighth inning,
when Nichols pounded the ball almost
into the center-feld corner. The
steady Hlbernian ran with the
sphere and, turning quickly, caught it
just before it reached the ground.
The greatest throw was that of Carroll
IN the NTH from rlgnt 10 tnlru, retlrlng
Strauss. Wagenhurst, the new short
stop, made his initial appearance. In
the field he seemed nervous, and evil
IDENTITY did not do himself justice. At
bat he made a double and a single. and
on the bases he was prince. Both
his runs were made on the
most daring sprinting ever seen in the
Sanity City. After making his double
in the second inning, he stole third and
scored on Tuckerman's fly 10 short
right on a ball returned to the plate as
straight as string. The slide
was a miraculous one. His run
in the fifth was also scored
on an extraordinary slide on Days
bunt toward third. DAILY put up the
best game he has yet played in st. Paul.
He retired two men on great catches,
assisted neatly once, made three hits
and crossed the plate twice. Werrick'S
work was of its usual steady character.
He accepted ten chances without skip.
Both Nagle and Nichols did excellent
work, but the visitors fielding was at
times ragged. Crooks had peculiar
sort of day. In the score sheet he is
simply credited with going to bat four
times. He did not get a safe hit, and
did not have chance to do any kind of
fielding. The score follows:
