the gravel walk and mounted the porch.
There was no knock or ring, but slight
pause sound of fumblng about the
threshold, then the steps went away and
she heard the gravel crunch under the
mans heel. With lamp in her hand
she stepped out into the hall. A bit of
something white protruded from under
the door. She pulled at it, and as she
stopped down the light fell on torn
envelope. Her face flushed angrily.
"WeI,' said she half aloud, eff that
amt the impoitest thing ever did hear

It was the invitation she had sent to
Captain Blgh returned without thanks.
She stood there a long time with black
drop Of bitterness difusing itself through
her thoughts. To be SO scorned had
furnished the glory Of her tea party.
She had been fool to think of having
it. Anger, hatred, remorse by turns
came upper1nost. When she went to
bed there were hot, miserable tears /,
her eyes, and she was woman who sel-
dom wept.
The next morning as soon as Ann
opened the chamber door she saw that
something strange had happened TO Miss
Mayhem. Her face looked almost trans
parent with the shiny luster Of mother
of-pearl, and her eyes were wide open
and CLASSY bright. She took hold Of
AIMS arm when she came to set down
the tray, and said in half whisper.
"What ma. him come into the yard

Lord! Miss Mayhem. what do you

Captain Bligh came into the yard: !

ing an unreasonable baby; ''don't take
on so. Of course he never did come

clergyman even, though bound to set an
example, made noble inroads on the
viands before him.
The high tea had been so delicious, such
a conspicuous example of good cookery
that the guests were loath to leave the
table. Mrs. Whitcumb scintillated in
her black silk with bead trimmings. It
was one Of the proudest moments of her
life. Her religious convictions were
elastic and easily accommodated them
selves in all companies. Had she been
at home in Bath among her own set she
would have proposed cards for the even
ing's diversion. but with a minister and
d deacon present such a thing could not
be thought Of. Instead there was q tri-
fling little game introduced on which no
faint of world illness rested and in which
all could take part.
As it was rather noisy Sister Martha
carefully closed all the. doors between

4 Pet Alligator.

An Englishman, sojourning in Northern
Australia, found, one day, n black fellow
AT his quarters, with 4 young alligator in
q sack, which he was anxious the white
men should buy for pet. The 'new
chum," rs strangers are there called, first
made inquiries into the habits of the rep
tile when domesticated, and received this
information:
AT first the alligator tries to bite and
lashes with his tail, but soon becomes
tame and fawns upon his master like u
dog; then the trouble begins.
"On hearing his masters voice the rep
tile, to show his pleasure, rubs against
him. The difference between n rub from
an alligator and that from a cross Gu, saw
is trifling."
The Englishman didn't buy, much to
tho disgust Of the black fellow. Youths

A SENSATIONAL LECTURE
Delivered by a Clergyman with Rum
shops for the Topic.

WORCESTER, Mass, Feb 29-There Is
much excitement in the northeast section
of the city over recent assaults upon
women. Saturday night about o o'clock
two Swedish servant girls were accosted
on Belmont street by n young man who
offered TO see them home. The girls
thought he was intoxicated, and, as they
were on public street and under an cleo
tric light, paid no attention TO him.
They turned down Hooper street to
make call, when the man came after
them OH the run. The girls were fright
ened and ran. One Of them took refuge In
house, and the other darted into back
yard. The man followed the latter, and,
catching up with her, threw an arm
around her, and, as the girl thought,
struck her in the face. She screamed, and
a man with lantern came out OF barn
toward her. upon which her assailant fled.
IL was then discovered that the girl had
been seriously cut with razor or sharp
knife. There We're three cuts, one Of about
four inches long across the left side OF the
mead, another about two inches long clear
through the upper lip, and a third made
n superficial wound across the throat
three inches long. A surgeon was EN-
ployed an hour in stitching up and band
aging the wounds The victims name is
Augusta Book. She Is 20 years Of age and
lives In the family Of j. a. Adams.
About half an hour before girl was as
saulted on Suidmer street. She was
hustled into doorway in the Dean build
ing, but she screamed and her assailant
ran. 4 crowd quickly gathered, but the
man managed to escape.
A third assault was made Saturday
evening on Prescott street, when a girl
named McVey was struck with coupling
pin, but not seriously injured.
All these streets lead out OF Lincoln
square. 1t is supposed the assailant was
the same man in all three places,
The police think the fellow Is a crank,
and that he may be one Of two insane
paupers who escaped q few days ago from
the city almshouse.

MADE A PERSONAL TOUR.
A Bidddford Pastor Lectures ON Rum
shops as lie Found Them

BIDDEFoRD Me-, Feb. 29.-Rev Will
liam Roder, pastor of the Second Congre-
gational church, created sensation last
night by delivering n lecture denouncing
the non-enforcement of the prohibitory
laws in Biddeford. Saturday night he
made a tour of, the saloons aud drinking
clubrooms about town, and in his lecture
hc described some Of the sights he saw.
The first place he visited was a shop run
by constable. No drinking was done I'm
there in his presence, but the place had
the odor of grog about il and all the rum
shop appurtenances. In another saloon
the proprietor mlstook the preacher for
revenue officer, and promptly produced
his United States license when Mr. Roder
asked to see it. The license bore lcti-
tious name.
From that shop the reverend gentleman
was escorted to Others. and into dive
where n company of boys were making
away with half-barrel OF ale In addition
TO making these barroom calls, he had
talked with officers and Others concerning
the liquor traffic in Biddeford Every
drugstore in the city, with one exception,
he said, is daily violating the state liquor
law.
Speaking of liquor seizures, the preacher
said there was n time since he came to this
city that the officers aud sheriffs could
smell keg of beer two miles away, but
they don't do it now.
He made no charges against either polit-
ical party, but he declared that the saloon
interests and politics are too closely allied.
Public sentiment, too, he believes, is alto
gether too lax.

animation Of them, with a view to their cnl-

First-Taxes should lie siInplc. Just, definite
and easily collected.
SecondThey ought not To Testric, prodnc-
tion or saving, nor To favor indiN iuals at the
expense Of the community.
Third Labor sh 1uld always be able To find
suitable employment; and for this purpose only
tho use of land ia necessary.
Fourih-A tax on the rental value at land,
exclusive Of improvements, IL direct, equitable
and certain; IL would encourage production
and industry aud hinder the Withholding Of
available land from use. II would take for
public purposes only the value created by tho
public growth, leaving 10 labor and capital
their full earnings, free froin all tax.
Therefore y single tax oE the rental value OF
land alone is the best possible tax.
