HE KNEW HIS FATE.

was watching game of poker once
at Helena. Mont. The players were a
gambler (whOm knew slightly and who
bore the sobriquet Of Lucky Bill'') and
two miners. Suddenly, after the hands
were dealt and the players had ''chipped
in" and drawn cards, Lucky Bill, with
perfect calmness and not so much as a
shadow of change in the expression of
his face, laid the cards on the table, took
notebook from his pocket, and dellber-
ately wrote a few wards. Then he tore
out the leaf and handed it to me.
'Look at that when you get home to-
night
His voice was steady, and did not be-
tray particle of excitement. I thrust
the paper aimlessly into my pocket, and
gave the matter hardly second
thought.
The play progressed. Lucky Biips
face was unyielling as stone and en-
tirely INEXPENSIVE. He noticed every
thing, however, and his vigilant eye did
not miss the slightest move on the part
of the other players. He was typical
gambler, and one of the most successful
of his guild. Hence the sobriquet.
At last there was an alteration be-
tween the two miners. Hot words en-
sued and reyolvers we're drawn. Some
of the bystanders interfered at this
point, and in the struggle that followed
| heard the sharp whistle and sping of
bullet. Lucky Bill, his good star in
the descendant, fell to the ground and
expired without groom. He had been

SPARKLE IN HER TALK.
An Actress INDUCES in Bit OF
Dentistry to Secure That Result

A tall brunette with curly black hair
walked into drug store in New York
one night last week and asked the pro-
prietor for quire of note paper. This
order is filed every day in the week
any number of times and never attracts
any comment, but the proprietor stoo
stock still this time and stared at the
e oOd-lookiDg woman i'll aStoniShment.
She had smiled as she made the request,
and the smile still played on her lips as
he stared. 1t disclosed two rows of
white teeth. The druggist walked
around to his head clerk suddenly.
Perhaps there is something the mat
ter with my eyesight," he said. Just
go and see what's the matter with that
w0man's teeth, will you?'
The head clerk got the writing paper
and studied the woman's smile mo-
ment as he handed the paper to her.
"Humph! that's odd" he muttered.
"She's got diamond in her teeth"
Everybody who sees the customer is
similarly surprised every time she talks
or smiles. The woman is an actress
who is we'll known in California, and
who is now living near Madison Square.
She attracts more attention in private
than any other actress in town, all on
account of the odd bit of dentistry to
which she submitted. Her friends say
that having the diamond set IN her
teeth was about the queerest
whim yet on record. The diamond
Is half-carat gem, pure white, and it is
set between the two front teeth in the
upper jaw. The gem is embedded in
gold plugging fitted in the back of the
teeth so cleyerly that the gold cannot
be detected. It's presence. of course,
attracts attention to the beauty of the
actress teeth, and it also imparts to
even her most ordinary conversation a
certain sparkle, which, DIS the druggist
remarked. you couldn't find in the con-
versation of any other woman in town,
however bright-witted she might be.
The actress seems to enjoy the
amazement that the oddly placed Jewel
ar0uses. She laughs at the comments
of the men and women folks. She is a
woman of about thirty, rather solidly
built. and dresses almost always in
gowns of black silk, draped with lace.

principals in the same apartment.
What shall be the weapons?" the
second Of one party asked; ''pistols?"
NO." said another; with pistols it is
all over so quickly that one has no
chaDce to see anything"
The partition between the room in
which this discussion occurred and the
one in which Cham and Gille. glazing at
the floor, were waiting was so thin that
the two men heard every word.
at the remark just quoted they looked
up at each other.
THAT isn't very funny to hear," said
Cham.

They went out into the solemn gloom
of the deserted stage and found that
also unpleasant.
Lets go out on the street." said one
to the other.
They went out and presently saw
good many people going into restaur-
ant. They followed mechanically and
sat down at table.
Half an hour afterward, when the
seconds had completed the arrange
ments for the fight, they were surprised
not to find the principals where they
left them; and when they went in
search of them they found them sup

MYSTERIOUS RAPPINGs.
A Haunted House Seriously Dis.
turbS q Community.

Sunbury Special to Pittsburg Dispatch.
The citizens of the Third ward, and.
in fact, all through the lower end of the
town, are in state of wild excitement
over a ghostly manifestation that has
been noticed in the last three DAYS.
Wednesday night crowds of people
flock ed to hear for themselves, and the
excitement is increasing every moment.
The visitation took place in ricketv
fra me building, formerly occupied by a
man named Mayberry. 1t is only a
story and half high, and the wind and
weather have long since made great
gaps in the roof and upper walls. Not
a vestige of window remains, the door
is broken in, and as it stands amid a
garden that has long since been over
grown by profusion of rank weeds it
is as ghostly a place as one could i'm
agine.
1t has history, too. Once before
have there been queer sounds and rap
pings heard within its walls, and the
superstitious lad and lassie as they stroll
past it quicken their pace and gaze i'm
half awe and half curiosity at the dark,
paneless windows that seem to stare out
like huge unearthly eyes. 1t is in this
place, deserted now for nearly year,
that the mysterious sounds are heard.
A few days ago girl by the name of
Title Holdings went into the old house.
and, as she stood looking up at the dark
ceiling, she heard q very low, but new
ertheless distinct knock. 1t seemed to
come from right under her feet, and she
moved aside. only to have the myster-
lous tapping to move with her. Then
1t changed and was heard over her
head. Half frightened, yet curious. the
girl went out and told some of her
friends, and together they went back to
the old Eouse. Among the party was a
boy named George Culp.
They had no sooner got in than the
noise was heard again, and it kept SHIFT
ing about from one place to another
with remarkable rapidity. At last Culp
concluded to talk and see If the rappiug
would continue. lie asked if it was a
spirit; if so it should knock once. The
party stood breathless for a second;
then clear and distinct came one rap.
Other questions were asked, but no
answer was given, and then Tillie
Mayberrys to come back. Two hard
raps signified that it did.
Miss Holdings Is the same girl to
whom the rappings responded in the
house OF William Engleman some years
ago, and among many she is supposed
to posses supernatural powers, and is
looked on with great respect and fear
by her younger associates.
Similar noises were heard in this
house some years ago. Rapping began
and continued for some time, and at
last ceased with the ringing of bells and
the sound as of some one choking. The
affair is creating great deal of talk, and
crowds Of pt op go to the house during
the day and evening.

AN UNFOUGHT DUEL.

Chicago Tribune.
The practice of dueling is practically
extinct in this country and soon will be,
doubtless, in all parts of the world.
Sensible minds everywhere see the
absurdity of 1t. though men in passion,
or acting under false notion of honor,
may sometimes yield to the foolish re-
quirements of the "code."

men, Cham, the caricaturist, and Phil
ippe ,Gille, a man of letters. had a vio-
lent quarrel in a theater after the play
was over. Their friends interceded,
but only made matters worse.
One of the men challenged the other.
Seconds were named on the spot and
both men insisted that the preliminaries
of the meeting should be arranged at
once.

THE REPUBLICAN SITUATION.

From the GIobe-Democrat
The present condition of the Repub-
lican party is one that calls loudly for
practical wisdom in the adjustment OF
issues and policies. 1t is folly to ignore
the fact that large numbers of voters IN
all the states have been alienated from
It's standard. and that they must be won
back if it is to eject the next president.
These men have not gone over TO the
Democratic party. and do not wish TO go
there: but the logic of politics Will uIu-
mately take them there II timely and
proper consideration of their views ana
feelings shall be refused or neglected.
They believe in the fundamental princi-
pies of the party as much as they ever
did, and cherish pronounced pride In
its past achievements; but they are not
satisfied with the way ia which Its
affairs have lately been conducted. and
will not vote its ticket if such manage
ment is to be continued. 1t is the duty
of the Republican leaders To face
this fact squarely and deal with 1t In
n prompt and reasonable way. The les
son of the late election is so plain that
there is no excuse for misunderstanding
it. Those who say that the result was
an accident are willfully blind to its OBJ
vious and positive causes: and the course
which they are now pursuing Is calcu-
lated to bring about similar calamity
two years hence.
1t is Of the first importance that no
more risks be taken and no more expert
Inents tried on the theory that the Re
publican masses will stick TO the party
in any event We have had fair warn
ing that Their votes cannot be- counted
upen in that confident and complacent
manner. They desire certain things
which must he granted, or they viii do
as they did last November. The time
has come in their Judgment for them TO

measures. instead Of arbitrary and Oh

them with dishonesty or lncon-
sistenCv. and 10 crack the party

their opinions and their protests Their
votes are Indispensable. The party mas
nothing to spare in that respect. II has
before IL the hardest fight OF Its life, and
viii need all the strength that IT can pos
sibly secure. BY a curious series OF mis-
takes it has been placed IN defensive
attitude and some of It's leaders seem de-
termined to keep it there instead OF try
ing to extricate 1t from that unfortunate
position and to give it a new impulse 10
the right direction. Its victories here
rofore have always been won by agres-
sive proceedings. and IN that way only
