An Old Truth Proved Once More.

A pneumatic tired safety bicycle that rested against the curb in Eighth avenue opposite the Grand Opera House on Fri day night had crowd about it for an hour. It bore huge placard with the inscription, For Sale, Price $12."
 The placard had been placed there by the owner, who had made wager that he would display the bicycle for two hours, and that no one would venture to buy it.
 There was lot of lively talk among the crowd that stared at the bicycle, but nobody went into the cigar store where the man who had bet that purchaser would appear was anxiously waiting fol some one with $12 to materialize.
 A stout Englishman neatly dressed came along and studied the placard with frown.
 ''I hate these practical jokes, he cried II ride bicycle myself, and only wish had $12 in cash, and I'd get that wheel That reminds me of the story of the mar who stood on London bridge and offered to sell genuine gold sovereigns for pen ny apiece and stood there an hour with out selling any"
 The bicycle owner won his bet finally to the chagrin of the man who felt sur, that bargain would be snapped up The fun of it was that the owner would have been forced to part with it under the terms of the wager.-New York Sun

The child was tracked to it's home, and there the officer found that the doll was a present
 He went immediately to the lady who had given it to the child and obtained the address of the store where the danger. ous plaything had been bought. It was a modest little place, but the officer found it at last and then discovered that the doll had been made and dressed in Leipzic! This was surprise, but the matter did not end here. for the manl.- facturer ill Leipzic was officially re. quested not to send any more red, white and hlue dolls to Alsace Exchange

have never met. with a more passion. ate, fiery actress than Ristori, with one possessed to the same degree by the demon of tragedy. Yet when she came to Paris for the first time she was nurs. ing her last child. Well, on the days she was acting she brought her baby with her to the theater, put it to sleep and went to give it the breast during the intervals of "Myrrha." which is sim ply the most monstrously passionate of all dramatic works. Did the part of nurse detract from the part of the tragic actress? By no means. Did the part of the tragic actress detract from the part of the nurse? No more than in the oth. CT case. I am, no doubt, quoting an ex. ceptional fact, which may be solely ac. counted for by the strength of organiza

When the two men, the one With tht blind eye and the other, came together into the shop on this second day and gave to Socola, separately as opportunity of fered, the sign of the Mafa, it was ( signal to withdraw hastily with then into his private office. @ A subordinate gives the summons ts his chief only when communication o1 importance is pending.
 When he returned to the shop an hou1 later, the old man was still blue about the lips, and his hands trembled as ht swore promiscuous oaths indiscriminate ly at the employees of the shop for i'm aginary offenses.
 The two men had gone silently together out the side door with their heads down
 Although Pat was restless in view o1 an impending row and eager to have ii over, gauging the probable duration ot an Italians spree by the Hibernian stand ard. he did not think it worth while te return to the city for several days.
 The gentleman from Palermo had i1 the meantime had much time for sober reflection. He had of course heard o1 Pats projected visit and was ready fol him-with an extended hand.
 Indeed no crafty diplomat ever con. founded an adversary with a more gra- cious and smiling suavity than that with which he greeted and disarmed his ingenious guest when on the Thursday following Pat re-entered his shop.
 Socola's English vocabulary, at best 8 matter of few hundred words, seemed today to have shrunken until it was less only than his comprehension. He failed utterly to understand that there could be anything disagreeable in his visitors mission.
 The interview, a ludicrous pantomimic affair throughout, ended by mutual handshaking confession of friendly feel ing. and Pat went away entirely satis- fled that either 9 mistake had been made, the Sicilian had forgotten his oath or the coming of the babe had indeed crowded murder out of the fathers heart.
 He had personally no longer quarrel with the old man. He had refuted the lie and was simply willing to stand by the refutation.
 If l1e had glanced backward as he left the shop and seen the menacing scowl that followed his receding figure, he would perhaps have understood.
 From Socola's presence he went up nome" to the Di Carlos Here, to his dis1nay, two more notes of solemn warn ing awaited him.
 Both were unsealed. Indeed they were written on unfolded scraps of paper and were found slipped in beneath the door, just as the first had been.
 When the signora had called Pat into an inner room, she closed the door and turned gray with pallor as she handed them to him.

CHAPTER VI.

For several months after this things seemed to drift along as usual.
 Pats prosperity, already assured, though plodding, had been unexpectedly accelerated by the sudden death of his partner, whose widow had preferred a settlement in cash to the possible risk of an investment subject to the vicissitudes of trade. This left Pat in sole possession of promising little business, and he was doing well. ......
 He still went ''home" nearly every Sunday, and as Carlotta had of late been especially kind to him he began to feel that the naturalization of his hopes was not far distant
 The youth Rubino still hung about the shop with his accordion, and once Pat had found him and Carlotta out walking together when he came on Sun- day afternoon. He said to himself that it was all right for her to be happy in her own youthful way, and he tried to feel glad. Indeed if he were not wholly so at the time her hearty greeting when she came home in little while made him forget it all.
 So the winter passed-a second since the Socola affair. In 8 month Carlotta would pass her eighteenth birthday. Things were coming very close.
 Pat feared no opposition from the Di Carlo parents. Indeed the signora in her relation of unconscious mother-in- law elect was joy to his Irish heart. She had evidently no suspicion of the truth, and in the face of Pats blossom ing out into 8 successful gentleman had been unable to refrain from throwing out occasional hints recalling his early fancy for Carlotta And Pat, the while laughing in his sleeve, kept her in con- tnual suspense by limiting at other pos Bible alliances, as when he said:
 ''Sure an wush ye cud see the Wid- der Schmidt, how purity an yung she is since the ould mans gone. Troth an ye may heer any day av an elopemint in high life. Sure I tould Ter we betther wait till the Bermuda is firmly rooted on the ould gintleman's grave-God rist i'm! An, wud ye b'lave2 she does north In but shprinkle 1t wud watherin pot since"
 "Oh-h-h, ga shame fo' you, Meester Pad, talk like thad! Can get plenny pritty young-a woma' yed."
 ''I've not fully made up me mind yet, ma'am, sure, till do see wull she turn back all the capital she dthrew out av the thrade an promise me day off once wake from cinnamon cake till do fale me pulse an start fresh."
 It was no wonder the signora missed Pat out of her daily life. He made so much fun. Was it strange she wanted to secure him?
