Accident on an Elevator.

In one of New York's largest hotels they
have three elevators and of course require
very powerful machinery to run them. One
of the guests who had gone TO the theatre,
fingered for a nice little private spread at
Del's, and as the steak was particularly good,
s.you know" and his best girl in lovely
humor (who by the way was his wife) the
gentleman remained so long with his charm
tpg companion over his Mumm's. that when
he reached his hotel the colored attendant OF
the elevator had gone up stairs and falleninto
the arms of Murphy or Morpley, I'm not
sure which. Our friend believed in fresh air
dina lived on the floor nearest the sky, so of
course he,was disappointed to find the elevator
closed for the night He muttered something
to his wife and gave wrench AT the iron
door leading to the elevator car II opened
and he laughed, and although his wife at first
refused TO enter, he finally prevailed and
chuckled to himself as the elevator started
upwards, to think how he Outdone the house,
the morning, when he found the elevator at
the top of the house. when they got 10 the
second floor from the top our friend thought
he might as we'll try to slow up little, but TO
his astonlshment he found he could not
check the unmanageable elevator. The pros
~pect of q drop of nine stories flashed before
bis mind, also his wife'5 at the same instant:
result, tremendous yen from the gent and
shrill scream from the lady. The attention of
a gentleman on the floor below was attracted;
he jumbed to the elevator and 81 asped the
wire rope, holding with all his strength (and
he was strong, as he had lived in Texas for
twelve years. and he finally brought the ele-
vator to stop just in time, as 1t was found
on the following day that only one small
strand Of the heavy steel wire remained in
act, but our neignbors were saved. They
were profuse in their thanks aud when they
met the gentleman recognized their old
friend, J. NJ. Emerson, of San Antonio, Texas,

win was not his law alone; 1t mxst %
law TO circumstance as well.
Crossing the sitting room with boys
step the husband moved swiftly 30 his
wife's side. The kiss he withheld last
night might wake her now. He stopped
and pressed it softly ON her lips.
Sir Roger in the doorway saw him
stagger back against the will, wide eyed,
q CHASTITY horror in his face.
At the bedside in an instant, the sur
geon raised the rounded wrist Quickly
he stopped and passed his cheek before
the lips, then placed his ear TO the heart
Tenderly he laid the still hand by her
side, and the face he raised to the hus-
band struck him to his knees by that
bedside, his strong frame racked by
soundless sobs, his white face pressed
hard on the cold. still one Of the wife he
had won-and lost!
No word was spoken; but the old sur
geon turned away. His praeticed eye
caught the writing ease, the candle over
turned, the bottles. One of these he
raised, smelled the ehloroform and shook
his head.
Then, conscious of the crumpled paper
left in his by the stiffened fingers he had
held, he opened it and read few lines.
CHANGING at the still bowed head, at the
calm, peaceful face near it, with infinite
pity, Sir Roger moved swiftly to the
door and held the paper in the night
lamp there.
When it had curled, blazed and shriv-
eled black to cinder still no word was
spoken.
Only the breathing Of the sleeping
maid was heard in that still chamber,
whence q woman and her secret had
both gone out into the new dawn.
Had her own mocking words been
prophecy?
Had her Gdipus come to her?
And, with the riddle of tho ages solved
for him, had a later Sphinx found life
was bearable no more?

whence Adrien Latour peered anxiously
into the late December day that closed
the old year.
From Alexandria, where he CHANGED
on steamer day, he had gone direct TO
Paris. From the military attache of the
United States legation there he learned
that Dale Everett had sailed for home
soon after the Martindales left for Egypt,
but that his arrival at New York hotel
had just appeared in late papers. Latour
promptly cabled there, taking the next
Havre steamer; and as her gangplank
touched the New York wharf, not wait
ing "the laws delay" in custom house
matters he drove straight to the hotel.
Awaiting him there he found tough
old Dr. Minot, an army surgeon known
in boyhood's days; and from him learned

for answer He had been ordered home
for special duty. and arriving quite sick
had insisted on attempting it. Exposure

the doctor, his face white with anxiety.
