The enumerator finds the canine member Of
the family is frequently quite persistent and
usually begins the interview. Unfor t~unately
the enumeration discovers that his outfit does
not comprise the proper facilities for taking an
effective part in such an interview. He has
his portfolio containing the census schedules,
but these are intended for the consumption Of
the superintendent of the census. and not for
the dogs in the enumeratOr's district. His
legs might be suitably incased if the govern
ment had only made the proper provision.
But this has not been done, and SO the enum-
orator begins to feel, after he has been at
work for several days, that his legs are grad
ually being clipped off. as if the dogs were
collecting specimens of enumerators for some
canine exhibition.
DISCRETION As WE'LL As vALoR NEEDED.
The dogs, however. are only incidents in the
life of an enumeration. The permanent fea-
he comes in contact. He finds what he prob
ably knew before, that ladies. as i rule, object
to giving their age. The enumeration. how
ever. is allowed to exercise q certain discretion
and SO when a lady of uncertain age refuses to
answer that question or gives metaphorical
answer then the enumcrator sizes her up with
his official eye and puts her down
at forty or forty-five with such an agreeable
smile Oh his countenance that the fair but
faded female Ia unconscious of the fraud which
he Is perpetrating TO balance her empte
fraud. Enumerators state that they have had
some trying experiences in boarding houses.
where the ladies, even if they should be willing
to whisper iato the ear of Uncle Sam the awful
secret of their age, are unalterably opposed to
let any of their lady friends into their conf
dence. AS the inmates of a boarding house
constitutes one family according to the Census
Office only one schedule can be used. and SO
the anxious ones cannot be gratified by having
their biographies detailed Oh separate sheets.

She Took His Arm.
From the Chicago Herald.


John McWade, the popular baritone of the
'Said Pasha' Company, who is well known IN
Chicago, las but one arm, as every one knows.
He used TO wear q false arm, attached by
straps, and this he first wore when he travelled
through the northwest in comic opera
under y the management. of Will Davis
of the Hnymarket. One morning the company
arrived at a small town. where they were to
sing that night. Their arrival had been noised
abroad and there was a large crowd assembled
on the station platform to see the .'troupers.'
As the train pulled into the station
john was on the rear platform of one of
the cars. He jumped of before the train
came to a standstill, and the bent fingers OF
his false arm caught on the car rail. The
straps snapped at the shoulder and the arm
slipped out of the coat sleeve and fell to
the platform. Jessie Bartlett-Davis, the con-
tralto. who was just behind John, jumped of.
secured tho lost arm and slipped it under
her coat. Then she took Johns good right arm
and walked of with HIM, leaving the crowd of
curious country people staring after them in
Management. That evening they packed the
Opera House to hear a man who could lose an
arm without dinching and u woman who could
pick up the lost member without fainting.

wears. Tho call is very much Of the
same nature as the social interchaages which
are constantly going on between neighbors.
He asks how you are getting on and how many
children you have, and he inquiries after their
health. After sitting in your parlor, or per-
haps he gets no further than the
front hall, he takes his departure,
and to the vast majority of the members of his
large and interesting family they are not con-
scious that they have an Uncle Sam until
another ten years roll around. In this city the
members of the family have displayed a gen.
uine appreciation of the visit, and have given
Uncle Sam, or rather his representatives, a
cordial welcome. The enumerators appointed
to take the census have been unanimous in
their report of the good reception which they
have met ana the facilities extended to them.
NO DISTINCTION OF PERSONS.
They have or will call at every house and il
makes no difference whether the house is To-
Gated on a fine street or in some obscure alley.
There is no distinction recognized. For the
purpose of counting noses the rich man does
not stand for any more than his poor neighbor.
He can only be counted as one. He may be rich
and influential and his name NAV be widely
known and respected. But he answers the
same questions that are put to the humble and
obscure. and the Information obtained in the
one instance is of equal value with that which
is secured in the other. The contrasts of life
nat have come within the knowledge of the
enumerators have no doubt been startling.
There is hardly a phase of human nature that
they have not come in contact with.

Some busy man, who has been called upon to
lay aside his business for the time being, may
no doubt be justified in the attitude which the
artist has shown in the accompanying cut. He
has probably felt very much bored at being
obliged to give a sort of resume of himself
when he is engaged in the more interesting and
profitable task of trying to learn something
about the man with whom he happens to be
doing business. The census taker has got
through with him and he appears to be pretty
well pumped out. In the meantime the enum-
orator has gone in search of another citizen
for the purpose of extracting all the informa-
ton possible from him. There are some
cases where the enumerator in his effort to
interview is himself interviewed. He accepts
that as one of the hard conditions of his lot.
unless the attempt is made by a portion of the
population which is not included in the classes
to be enumerated in the census.

CHAPTER XXXIIL.
AMBROSE ARDESs CONFESSION.

80 MORROW morning. before the day
CIV is old. Claude Morel will expiate his
last and worst crime on the scat
FL fold. He is now sitting in his con-
~ dcWned cell writing his confession,
the story of the murder in Denmark street,
the hideous history of his crime and OF mine,
which he has sworn that he will leave behind
him tomorrow morning to be published broad
cast to all civilized Europe before tomorrow
night.
This room, where / sit in the deep of night,
in a silence rarely broken by some belated
football in the lane, this room is my condemned
cell. The day that will dawn in a few hours
will be as surely my day of doom as it will be
Claude MoreIs. The sentence of death that
was pronounced upon him was n sentence OF
death pronounced upon me. His fate involved
my fate. When 1 made him the instrument Of
my crime 1 made myself his slave.
oh. my beloved, the only idol of my life. it is
for you / write the history OF my sin. No other
eye but yours need ever look upon these lines
unless you go will it-and / do not think you
will expose my confession of weak passion and
interruptions crime to an indifferent public.
Let the world know my story only as 1t will be
told by my accOmplice-a CHASTITY record, cruelty
and brutally told, no doubt. These details OF
nv temptation and my fall are for you alone;
for you who may perhaps execrate my memory
Just a little less If l urge my one plea for
mercy-I loved you with a love that was
stronger than honor or manhood; stronger
than all the instincts of a life that had been
blameless whilst it was passionless; a love that
made me a villain.
i first saw Claude Morel at an italian public
house in Greek street, where l went to dIstrib-
ute some money. collected from a few OF my
friends. among the distressed communists who
had come to London for a refuge, and who
we're some of them all but starving. Most of
the people assembled in that upstairs room
over the tavern were depressed and dispirited
by their necessities. and had very little to say
except to express their thankfulness for the
aid which | took them; but MOrel had a great
deal to say about the political situation in
France. He spoke well and | was interested in
his fervid eloquence and in the latent passion
which burned in every phrase. l put him down
as a dangerous man in any country, a irebrand
in such a city as Paris.
He heard. en- PEASANT. that the friend who
had given more than half of the sum 1 had col
lected was Robert Hatrell. L saw the startling
effect Of that name upon him, and l was hardly
surprised when he followed me into the street
and began to question me about my friend. l
was surprised, however. at the malignity of his
speech and the intensity of malice which be-
trayed itself III his tone and manner.

threateningly. BE off with you, fellow"
He pointed Londonwards with his stick, and
Morei crept slowly away along the dusty road,
leaving me face to face with my son.
You don't believe" | began; but his
face told me that he did believe Claude Morel's
story, ana that nothing | could say would undo
the mischief that scoundrels tongue had done.

found the burden of my guilt SO heavy. so

agony. And now | saw all the horror of it

me that he could neTer be Daisy's husband
that the murderer's son must not marry the

"Oh, how she would hate me-" he cried,
'lf years after our marriage she found she had
been entrapped into such a loathsome union!'
lie told me that he should leave England at
once and forever. He was not without pity
Tor me-, although my crime and the passion
that prompted it lay beyond the region of his
thoughts. To him such 4 character as mine
was unthinkable.
He who could renounce love when honor
urged him could not understand the love that
makes light of honor, truth, friendship, all
things for loves sake. His happier nature has
never sounded that dark depth.
And SO we parted. l wanted him at least to
share my fortune. There was no faint at the
source of this. II he were to begin u new life
j urged that he might as well begin it with in
dependence and comfort, but lie told me he
could take nothing from me; and he was reso-
lutte in his refusal.
Il am young enough to make my own way
in the world" he told me: .'thews and sinews
must have their value somewhere"
And so we parted, just touched ice-cold
hands, and parted forever.

During thirty-three years of
