CHAPTER III.
A GOOD SAMARITAN.
ington.

Isaac Evesham, of Buffalo, lumber.
man and mill owner, was in e certain
sense great man-not personally, for
he was short and chunky in figure; not
mentally, for he had no more imagina-
ton than a cow; not morally, for
though he was the prop and stay of Lit
tie Bethel church, which was mainly sup
ported by his contributions, he ignored
the Masters precept to love his neigh
Dor as himself and chose rather to look
at him as one to be spoiled as a.Philis-
tine. Still he was very great man
at Buffalo.
His sense of duty was empowering.
1t was duty which led him to prosecute
poor widow for stealing a bundle of
splints; duty had induced him to grind
his laborers down to the lowest days
pay for the biggest days work; and it
was duty which had countenanced his
just indignation and strongly expressed
disapproval when his brother, twenty
years younger than himself, had per-
petrated marriage with a penniless
girl-an act little less than a crime in
the eyes of the astute lumberman.
He had married, of course, but he had
been wise enough to Glove lass and
her money, too," and had nothing to re-
proach himself for in the prim, pinched-
faced matron, who presided over the
great, square, red-brick, public school
like building he called his home. He
had been blessed with children, too
one, a boy whom he had mentally
starved to death, denying him story
books and the casual enjoyment of
childish liberty, and who had grown al
most to a manhood Of harmless imbe-
cility, when he had suddenly siczened
and died; and girl, more robust, who
had survived her fathers immaculate
system to reach womanhood, a hard,
cold, selfish person, with fear of her
father and contempt for her mother in
the place of filial affection.
The breakfast table in the Evesham
mansion was not the CHEEKY, social gath
ering place it is in some families, and on
one especial morning in leafy June the
early meal was a more solemn cere-
mony than usual. Mrs. Evesham was
never very lively, but to-day she was
exceptionally detected; Jane had been
sighted at a young peoples gathering
in the church parlors the previous even
ing, and was properly resentful, and
the master of the house was not quite
satisfied with the rulings of the market
and vented his disappointment on his
women folk after the manner of men Of
his peculiar temperament. He sat toy
ing with his beefsteak and reading the
morning newspaper. Suddenly he cleo.

heartily over remissness in not at once
applying to him for advice in her diem
ma. But he was properly indignant at
the coroner's treatment of her-not at
the fact that the official had dealt harsh
ly with an unprotected lady, but that
he had been rudely overbearing with
his, Isaac Evesham's, sister-in-law.
81 will teach him a lesson which he
will not soon forget" said the irate
lumberman.
And, strange to say, he was at last, by
accident, placed in position to be of ma
terial service to his sister-in-law, for
when they all reached the coroner's court
it happened that the little, fox-eyed
man who had sat at the presiding officers
right hand and whispered so many evil
counselS in his ear, and who was none
other than James Maxwell, the veteran
detective, recognized the wealthy
burgher from Buffalo, and communi-
Gated his information to the coroner,
who, after the manner of his kind, be-
came excessively gracious to the lady
when he found she was kin to so valua-
BILE a member of society. Mrs. Eve
sham, landlady of a lodging house, was
person of small consideration in the
official eyes; but Mrs. Evesham, widow
of the brother of millionaire. was one
with whom it would not be wise to
trif1c. So, being spared the indignities
and inuendoes she had endured at the
opening of the trial, Mrs. Evesham gave
her evidence in clear, intelligent man
ner1 which called forth the commenda-

THE DOGS ORCHESTRA.

band, and they none of them howl.
Both ocular and aural proof was given
of this virtue of the band dogs later, for
while the sketches were being made in
their dressing room behind the scenes,
the professor, as n complete answer to
the query, took up an old violin and
played three or four eXcruciating pas

cymbals claps them together when he
remembers how to do it accurately;
while it may be confidently said that,
taken altogether, it is a most amusing
performance, and the dogs are excel
lently trained in their various parts.
The cleverest in point of training is the
handbell-ringing contest. This is car
ried out by three dogs who wear little
brass bracelets to which the bells are
attached. They play the differently
toned bells in correct time, and this
they do at a sign from the conductor,
who is manipulating the instrument
called fairy bells" all the time. 1t is
laughable to watch the three dogs eying

they ring the bell that bangles from

Wanda ruled the establishment like a

An Amusing Performance Which Delights
Thousands of Londoners.
We have all seen dogs stand by bands

and howl, and most people consider
they do it because they don't like the
music. Of course the animal that does
it frequently, that chases up to a band
and sits there moaning, may be dog

thus protests against improvised dis
cords, false notes and slipshod ''time;"
but few people have seen them sit
mute and play on instruments them
selves.

water as M. lie Conducteur, now per-
forms daily at the Aquarium, says the
Pail Mall Budget. Tim, rat dog, plays
on the big drum; Shnoutz, a white ter
ricr, clashes the cymbals; Bob, an Irish
spaniel, tinkles on the kettle drum.
Prof. Lavater stands in the middle and
leads. Then, on the other side, Jack
blows the trombone; Spitz, a Pomeran-
ian, saws on the violin; and Teachum,
a fox terrier, girds at the big violon.

On this she read:

by this time the woman had joined
the little group. Mrs. Evesham rose
excitcdly and faced her.
In Heavens name she said
.whcrc did you get this child?' while
Kate stood with round eyes wondering
at her mothers excitement, and even
baby pucllercd up her pretty lips in
fearful mood.
The woman, startled by the intense
ness of the lady's question, colored
scarlet. and bursting into a flood of
