Decline and FAN of the Once Noble Art OF
Reading the Future.

Decline and Fan of the Once Noble Art OF
Reading the Future.
In ancient times every monarch and
prince, great or little, kept his sooth-
sayers, or at least had recourse to some
person who pretended TO read the
future In the stars or somewhere else.
We have still persons who assume to
be able to foretell the future, but the
great different between past ages and
the present in this regard is that then
the great and often wise men of the
earth believed in the soothsayers,
while now only the foolish and feeble
have any confidence in them.
The decline in the credit and honor
Of soothsaying dates in considerable
measure, perhaps, from a certain per
formance of John Galeazzo, duke OF
Milan. He, too, had soothsayer.
One day the reader of the stars came TO
him and said:
my lord, make haste TO arrange
your earthly affairs"
"And why shall ] do thatP" asked
the duke.
"Because the stars tell me that you
have not long to live"
'Indecd! And what do the stars tell
you about your own lease of life"
asked Duke John.
"They promise me many years moro
Of life"
"Thcy do?"
$50 have read them, my lord"
"Well, them" said the duke, at up
pears that the stars know very little
about these things, for you will be
hanged within half an hour"
lie sent the soothsayer TO the gal
lows with promptness and lived many
years afterward himself. Star-reading
fell into disuse in Milan from that
time.-Youth's Companion.

For moment the light in his eyes
looked dangerous, then he smiled and
patted her on the cheek-at which
caress she shrunk away.
"What's the matterp" he asked.
Nothing" said Matt. 81 don't like
to be pulled about, that's all"
"You mean you don't like me9"
Don't know. That's telling"
"And yet you've no cause to hate me.
Matt, for I've been good friend to
you-and always shall, because / like
you, Matt. Do you understand, / like
you?"
So anxious did he seem TO impress
this upon her that he put his a,m
ground her waist, drew her towards
him, and kissed her on the check, q
ceremony he had never performed be-
fore. But Matt seemed by no means
to appreciate the honor; Us his lips
touched her cheeks she shivered, and
when he released her she began rub
bing at the place sif to wipe the touch
away.
II Mr.. Monk noticed this action on
the part of the girl, he deemed it pru-
dent to take no notice of it. He said q
few more more pleasant things to
Matt, and again patted her cheek affec-
Honately, then he left the cottage, TAX
ing William Jones with him. Ten

$50 he is, he says!' replied Matt,
"cause though he be allus foraging, he
don't find much now on account O. them
coast-guard chaps"
After they had rested themselves,
they went little further up the cliff,
then they followed narrow winding
path which brought them TO the shore
below. Here Matt, who seemed TO be
pretty well grounded In the history Of
the place, pointed him out the wonders
of the coast. She showed him the
caves, which tradition said had been
formerly used as wreckers' haunts and
treasure stores, but which were now
washed by the sea, and covered with
Shiny weeds; then she brought him to
promontory where they told her she
herself had been found. This spot
Brinkley examined curiously, then he
looked at the girl.
"I suppose you had clothes on when
you came ashore, didn't you, Matt?"
"Why, Of course had. William Jones
has got emp
"Has he? WhereT ....

"His cavel Where is that2" asked
Brinkley, becoming very much inter
ested. ...
Dunno" returned Matt perhaps
It's somewhere here about. I've seen
William Jones come about here. I
have, but never could track him."
Matt's information on the subject
was so vague that 1t seemed useless to
institute search; 30, after regretful
look at the rocks, Brinkley proposed
that they should saunter back along
the shore.
"By the way" said he, 81 want you
to introduce me to William Jones'"

eyes. Strange as the fancy may
seem to you, should like for once in
my life to stand face to face with q
real live wrecker."
/ They made their way back along the
coast until they reached William Jones'
cottage. Here they paused, principal
ly for Brinkley to take glance at the
quaint dwelling, then they crossed the
threshold. What sort Of place he
had got into 1t was utterly impossible
for Brinkley to tell; It was so dark he
could see nothing. Having crossed the
threshold, therefore, he paused, but
Matt went fearlessly forward, struck a
light and ignited rushlight on the
table.
"William JONES'" said she, ''here be
the painter!"
By the light of the fickering rush
light Brinkley now looked about him
At glance he noted some Of the de-
tails of the queer little room; then his
eye fell upon the occupants, whom,
from Mats description, he recognized
rs William Jones and the grizzly au-
thor of his being.

A LAWYER's COURAGE.
How an Attorney Openly Rebukcd th
Presiding Judge.


Presiding Judge.
A certain New York Judge has n
habit which sometimes annoys men,
bers Of the bar who appear before him
particularly young men-of talk
Ing 10 his associates on the bench
while the lawyers are delivering their
speeches; but, however exasperating
they may be, the lawyers have not, as
rule, the boldness TO complain, for
they recognize the power Of the court
An eminent lawyer Of New York,
however, set them an example. He
was about TO make the closing speech
In a highly important case. Forty min
utes had been allotted him for the pur-
pose. ,.. ... ..It...
He had scarcely uttered a dozen
words when the Judge wheeled round
In his chair and began a discussion
with his associate on the bench. The
lawyer ceased speaking Immediately,
folded his arms and gazed steadily at
the judges. A hush fell upon the court
room. The offending Judge, noticing
the stiffness, turned around and looked
inquiringly at the silent advocate.
"Your honor" said the lawyer, II
have Just forty minutes In which 70
mako my final argument ! shall not
only need every second Of that time TO
do Il justice. but / shall also need your
undivided attention"
"And you shall have IT," promptly
responded the judge, at the same time
acknowledging the justice Of the re-
buke by q faint flush on his cheeks.
II was an exhibition Of genuine oour-
age, but ono that was more fully ap-
preciated by members Of the profess
sion than by the others who witnessed

minutes later william Jones returned
alone.
"Where's hep" asked Matt.
"Meanin' Mr.. Monk, Matt - he be
gonel" said William Jones.
"Gone for good?" demanded Matt,
impatiently.
''No, he amt, Matt; he'll be down
here tomorrow, he will; and you'd best
be at homel"
Matt said nothing this time; she only
turned away sullenly and shrugged her
shoulders.

emily.
"WellP"
"Mr. Monk seems uncommon fond OF
you, he do"
Matt reflected for moment; then
she replied:
"I wonder what he's fond o. me for,
William Jones?"
"Well, / dunno; cause he is, l sup
pose" returned William Jones, having
no more logical answer at his com
mand.
"Tain't that" said Matt; "he don't
love me cause I'm me, William Jones.
There's summat else, and l should just
like to know what that summat is,

scious that there was new develop

utterly at loss to understand what
