door. There was the fateful missive.
She took up the letter mechanically,
wondering what it could be. 1t was
addressed to herself and sealed. In her
excitement she closed the door with a
bang which startled Mr.. Carson, who
was reentering the room.
Faiths face was white and she was
breathing hard and fast. She felt as
if she held message from the dead.
What have you get there, Falth?"
he asked.

Mr.. Carson approached her and looked,
at it through hastily adjusted specta-
cles.
"Sho, Sure enough! Read it now!"
Faith read it, but 10 herself; then
handed it to her father with flushed
checks. Mr.. Carson read it slowly,
then placed it in Faiths hands without
saying word.
You see, row, father. if he could
have told me about it it would have

two years. 1t is too late now and

Faith wrote Oscar a dainty little let

even in this last decade of the nine

believed to be unluclsy to be empty

having silver in the hands or gold in

This PhrenolOgist Saw Twenty Years OF
Criminality in = Jailer.
A phrenologist who has been touring
the country and giving lectures in the
art tells the following good one'' On
himself. He was in the habit of in
viting people of different avocations to
come upon the stage, and he would di-
late upon and expound the peculiarities
| of their cranial construction. He had
come to that portion of his lecture
where he dealt with the criminal form
of crania and addressed the audience:
eff there is any person present who
at any time has been the inmate OF a
prison he will oblige me by coming up
on the platform"
In response to this invitation heav-
ilybuilt man went up.
''You admit that you have been in
prison. sir?''
swer
"Would you kindly tell us, how
many years you have spent behind
prison bars?"
''About twenty years." unhesitating-
ly replied the subject.
Dear, DEAR" exclaimed the pro-
fessor. "Will you sit down, please"
The subject sat down in CHR at
the center of the stage. The professor
ran his fingers rapidly through the
hair of the subject and assumed a
thoughtful expression.
This is most excellent specimen.
The indications of depraved character
are very plainly marked. The organs
of benevolence and esteem are entirely
absent; that of destructiveness is de-
veloped to an abnormal degree. Icould
have told instantly, without the con-
fession of this map. that his life had
been cratic and criminal. What was
the crime for which you were impris-
oned?"
81 never committed any crime -
growled the man in the chair.
But you said that you had been an
inmate of prison for twenty years?"
$50 l have, but I never committed
any crime"
"Will you tell us why you were
there then?' persisted the professor.
''Why, you fool, I am n jailer,"
snapped the subject. as he left the
chair.-N. Y. Herald.

coNEY ISLAND MAY GET 1T.
Mitchell and COrbett Likely to Fight
There.

There.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Charles Mitch
ell and Judge Newton, representing the
Coney Island athletic club, and a party
Of friends, met at quiet resort on Fifth
ave. tonight. The object of the meeting
was to settle the matter as to whether
Mitchell would or would not fight Cor
bett at Coney Island. Both Newton and
Mitchell were in a pleasant humOr and
it was evident from the start that Mitch
ell would come to terms, providing the
judge acted in a manner satisfactory TO
the English pugilist. After considerable
general talk of an explanatory character
the judge and Mitchell retired TO a pri-
vate room and held long, earnest con-
ference. When they returned to the
room where the rest of the party were
waiting Judge Newton's face was COW
cred with smiles and Mitchell looked
serene and happy. One of the party
boldly asked Newton what had been de-
cided upon at the private conference.
"Oh, everything is lovely" said the
judge. Il stated the facts to Mitchell as
they are and he says they are perfectly
satisfactory to him."
YES" spoke up Mitchell, everything
is all right. The Judge has given me a
copy of the articles that COrbett signed,
which 1 will examine carefully, perhaps
making a few scratches. Tomorrow /
will telegraph Newton where 1 will meet
him on Saturday in order that may
sign them. l hardly expect to do much
scratching as I came here to fight"
Mitchell says he will start into train
ing next Tuesday; but he is not certain
as yet where he will train.
