1t is not pleasant to be reminded that we
are under obligations to some person for
our existence and prosperity. Allen Gray
was so ungenerous as to become offended.
He leaped to his feet, his eyes flashing fire,
and selling Mr.. Simmons by the throat,
had the presumption to deny owing any Of
his present wonderful prosperity to him,
and was so ungrateful as to threaten to kick
his benefactor out of the Office if he did not
become more civil.

concluded, "and SO I will when the proper

6 Its not time to show my hand yet, it's

"Well," growled Simmons, pulling on his
soft 1cit hat, preparatory to going, when

knew her not. That beng from whom the
villagers shranlx as though she was polu-

to him, and he was wiling to lay down his

Night passed, and when morning came he
was astonished at his haggard face as it
was revealed to him by the mirror. His
hair was not whitened, but his face was so
changed that he hardly knew himself.
His landlady inquired after his health,
and advised her favorite remedy for bilious
ness. Allen thanked her, and assured her
that he would get along without any med
icine, and after light breakfast went to
the Office. His mind was constantly har-
rowed up with thoughts of the sights and
sounds of the night before. Again and
again did he try to throw the subject from
his mind, but, like Banquo's ghost, it would
not down. He asked himself again and
again for an explanation of the mystery but
his reasoning faculties were incapable of
suggesting any.
"She is pure and good, be that strange
mystery which clouds her life whatever it
may,'' said Allen.
He was sitting at his desk trying hard
to bring sufficient will-power to his COM
mand to concentrate his mind on the bus
mess before him, when the door of his
sanctum softly opened and Miss Hopkins,
with profusion of smiles and bows, entered.

Somehow, amateurs patronizing country

the first-born infant, they are too delicate to

Twice year old Thomas had either a
peacock or a peahen on his table. The
peacock was served usually in January
and the peahen in July. The former
made a grand appearance, being
brought to the table with his gorgeous
tail feathers spread, which, however,
were removed before it was carved; but
the peahen of which l partook was
served without her train, of which
she had been deprived while being shut
up and fattened The meat tastes much
like turkey, should be stuffed with a

used to lard the breast as its flesh is

the same to permeate slowly into the

THAT BLAINE STORY.
1t Looks Very Much Like a Great
big Lie.

1t Looks Very Much Like a Great
Big Lie.
NEW York, Oct. Co. Special Telegrom to
THE BEE. IA prominent newspaper man
and democratic politician told The BEE COR
respondent that the Blaine story of the
World was either a fake or the most out
rageous betrayal of confidence known to
newspaperdom. The Likelihood is that it
was a fiction, based on the slight fact that
Blaine was not over well while in Italy. If
the writer did not make up the story, he, ac-
cording to his own language, was guilty of a
breach of confidence with the physician who
gave him the story, and man who would do
this would not hesitate to lie, therefore the
story was not on any ground to be given
credence.
"In disproof of che theory that Blaine was
so sick in Florence" said The BEES inform
ant, al want to tell of an interview which
had in Paris with T. G. Crawford, the
Worlds correspondent in Europe, shortly
after Crawford had visited Florence
to interview Blaine for the World.
Crawford told me that Blaine was
as strong mentally as ever that he was
dotes and "reminiscences. Crawford also told
me that in December, full month before
the Florence letter of declipation was writ
ten, Blaine had told him he would not be a
candidate again. The man Crawford, re-
member, was the Worlds correspondent, and
his statement absolutely confutes the ridicu-
lous story now told. Moreover, Crawford
matter saying that Blaine was out riding and
bowling to friends on the very days when the
World now says he was IN the house de-
pressed with melancholy.n
