1cannot go on to any great length to

wonder that one human being came forth
alive from the terrible wrecls-and awful
hell, was going to say.
Henry Henshall was struck on the head
by fresh train tiy. and for time lay
unconscious. but the smell of his burning
trousers aroused him. and he got up and
went out of the car.
Strangest of all, the blow had cleared

| MISS BROWN.
Briefly but truthfully and tearfully
Min Brown made = clean breast Of her
sofrowful slavery to Dr.. Watson, tho
hypuotist, and ON her knees she prom
tsed the old man that never again would
she give him an opportunity to WELD his
ghoulish and disagreeable influence over
her.
As the fair head Of the beautiful girl
rested on his knee, and with trembling
/ fingers he screwed up her Psyche knot q
little tighter, 90 that it could not get
muddy as the spirited roadster sped
along the track, he thought he had never
raw SO fair being, taken all around, as
she was. Mr.. Crawford always used the
choicest English in his conversation, but
occasionally his thoughts were ungram-
NAUTICAL.

one" he said. prepare for a piece Of
information which you can hardly cred

"Would you believe that l. who am

have taken tho life of DR.. Cronin?
Gould you believe that l. a professor
of religion and a worthy inside guard for
two terms in the Little Bethel indie

Ss.1o2, could have gone under the cover
OF darkness and with a bright new clasp
knife cut into the nice warm vitals of a
neighbor, and then, with his hot blood
squirting up my sleeve, hacked the dying
man to pieces, put him in /: shawl strap
and carried him away to IL sewer trap
and concealed his disheve!led remains so
that the police could not get on to my
spoor!
And yet for months this terrible Sc
ccet has been preying upon my soul.
Yesterday while DR.. Watson was up-
town it occurred to mo that possibly
did not kill Cronin, and SO, picking up a
paper, | read that another man did it,

him moment, and then he set to work.
From the window of burning car a
white and beautiful arm extended
through the broken window. On the
hand, though spatted with bright scarlet
splotches, he recognized his wife's we'd
ding ring:
With q cry of agony he dashed into
the crushed and burning wreck, and
just as the flames were beginning to
creep upon her he jumped from the hun
cry flames with his fainting but happy
wife in his arms. Again and again he
blessed the happy blow on his head
which had cleared his vision and made
him see how near he came to losing a
good, true and desirable wife.
Lena's hair turned snowy white, and
is SO yet, but she makes a beautiful
matron, kind mother and good wife
to the cashier of her fathers bank, Mr..
Henry Henshall, who has q signature
now worth $250,000 in his own indi.
vidual right.
Edna was never fully recovered. Aside
from the hinges Of her violin case. her
remains were never found. I hated to
write this, but am not here to be senti-
mental. l must be truthful. Her money
was used, or portion Of it at least, to
relieve her fathers indebtedness, and
with the balance was founded conserv-
atory Of music in Boston.
Dr.. Watson was pinned to the wreck
by the ear and slowly scalded to death.
Before he died he said he was sorry for
what he had done, but yet with his last
breath he tried to bite a preacher who
was praying for him. He was low
creature. He was . disagreeable per-
son, and his death utterly failed to cast
. gloom over the community.
Mr.. Crawford and his bride returned
to Chicago and rouaf1sd there quite
awhile.
They were very, very happy indeed.
Mrs. Dr.. Watson went on the stage
and did well. She receives good wages,
and also got 485 900 insurance on her
husband, whose life she had insured the
year before. With this money she
bought two beautiful dresses, which she
now wears on the stage and which make
. great hit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henshall are real happy
all the time. Henry is a good provider
and Lena can construct q cake which
will make ones hair curl. They have q
good deal OF company come to see them,
and almost without exception each ono
says on going away, I'VE have had .
real good time"

DIR. WATSON,

When DR.. Watson returned after send

serted The reader will ask how he
knew that every one was gone when the
door was locked and he could not get in
but we must remember that he was in
the hypnotism business, and could do
things that other people might consider
difficult. Many time as a boy he had
hypno:ized watermelon dog and then
helped himself to the luscious fruit.
He soon learned that Mr.. Crawford
had taken his whole household, and with
Light baggage had fed to the depot. He

hypnotic Mr.. Crawford, but the old man
had shrewdly had himself vaccinated.
and SO he was safe.
There was nothing for the doctor to do
but to follow the procession, for Craw-
ford had evidently heard that his
daughter was in California, and had re-
solved to go to her.
For some time the doctor argued with
the old man. but without avail. He then
tried to hypnotize the ticket Office into
giving him a lower berth, but the agent
had been exposed when he was young.
and so wasn't afraid of getting it now.
Therefore DR.. Watson had to jump
hurriedly on the rear platform as the
train pulled out and sleep in the smoking
car with his front teeth resting heavily
on his knees all tho livelong night.
In the drawing room of pleasant and
airy sleeping car supplied with electric
bells and thermometer was buffet,
the sandwiches in which smelled like
lower eight, while lower eight got even
by smelling like u corned beef sandwich,
and here sat Mr.. Crawford and Miss
Brown. Below is given 4 picture of Miss
Brown. Her name was Celia Brown, but
her friends called her Cell, and Brown
with an air Of badinage which brought
rosy flush and sweet bright smiles to her
fair face
The artist has happily caught this
smile with his little catch-as-catch-cau
camera.
The picture was originally full length
figure, but owing to the pressure on our
advertising space and q note just re-
ceived from the chief of police W. have
decided to condense the portrait as much

And what Of Henry Henshall, the
hero and artistic ass Of this story?
Leaving his art to shirk for itself, and
forgetting that he had promised on that
very day to paint two large barns for a
party in Oakland, he fought madly for a
place on the train in order to follow an
unknown daxen haired fiddler, who
did not care cent for him or his art.
Henry Henshan was not a bad man, but
he needed some great calamity or severe
conclusion to jolt little sense into him.
That was all Life had been too smooth
with him. He had painted several
portraits Of Beatrice Cenci, which had
been accepted by the family and paid
for. yet after all he needed something
that would almost kill him, but not
quite. This would, the doctor thought,
knock the talents out of him. and give
him an ambition to do as he agreed and
pay his debts.
Such an episode was in store for him.
For, by strange fatality, this train he
rode upon few nights later (although

It is said that the finest piece

It is said that the finest piece ol brOadcloth ever woven came from the woolen mills in Vassalboro, Me. It was first exhibited at the World s Fair in London, in 1851. afterward at the Centennial in 1876, and in both places was pronounced by the judges in that line of goods as un- surpassed. A fact of similar inter est is the statement by a San Fran cisco paper that the finest woolen blankets ever known were made at the Mission Woolen Mills of that city. These blankets were exhibit ed at several European expositions, at {. e Centennial, and elsewhere, and always without rival in texture and finish.
