The Wrong Woman.

"Boy," said the middle-aged man
with cane to lad he met on Fourth

tion to earning dime this morning."
"No, sir"
"It won't take you over three min,

"Probably not, owing to your youth.
Enoch left home and was gone num-

only left home last night, and don't
anticipate that my wife has rushed mat

down and look up at the sitting-room

"Owing to your youth can't explain
matters more fully. Whatever yop re-
port will be my cue as to how to act.
You will know all about it after you
grow up and get married. Run along
now"
In seven of eight minutes the lad re-
turned and reported that a woman,
who was very pale and had tears in her
eyes, was looking from one of the side
windows
"That signifies that she has repented,
wants me to forgive her, and that I'm
all right" replied the man as he hand
ed over the dime. That's all, my son,
I'll brace in by the front door and sur
prise her."
He settled his hat on his head, pro-
duced his latch-key and ascended the
steps, while the boy waited to see how
things would shape. The key had
scarcely entered the lock when the
door was pulled open and woman
about fifty years old, with her jaws
hard set and three feet of broom ham
die in her right hand, sprang out. The
man was so taken by surprise that he re-

with the man about two blocks away,
and said

"No, my son, it was not!' solemnly
replied the man. "It was the pale

SUICIDE IN A CATHEERAL.-WhileA Arch
bishop Angerer was delivering the benedic-
ton in ST. Stephens Cathedral in Vienna, on
Saturday, book-keeper named Mutzbichl,
who was sitting near the middle of the build
ing, shot himself in the head. Most of the
worshippers sprang to their feet, and many OF
them started for the door. The Archbishop
stopped in the middle of the benediction and
calmed the congregation with a few words.
After Mutzbiehl's body had bee removed, the
congregation was dismissed. Mutzbchl had
lost heavily at the race track recently. The
Cathedral will be reconsecrated.
