HIS COURAGE FAILED HIM.
He Caught the Boy, But Appearances
Were Too Strong Against Him.

Aic Sausht the boy. bui appearances
Were Too Strong Against Him.
He was a well-dressed, well-fed,
florid-complexioned man, who carried
cane and an air of self-satiSfaction as
he sauntered up Sixth avenue, says the
New York Recorder.
Suddenly this complacency was in
terrupted by a stick of wood which
struck him square on the bridge of
the nose, and emanated from a larger
stick held in the hand of a street
gamin who was playing flip" on the
sidewalk.
The man made rush for the boy,
and the boy for the middle of the
street. On they flew, through slush
and debris, until the man overlook the
gamin about block and a half from
where the race began.
Up to- this time the boy had been
very game, turning every few jumps TO
laugh in his pursuer's face and put his
thumb to his nose in a manner most
infuriating. But when he was collared
he changed policy and began to sob as
If he were being murdered.
OF course there was the usual crowd
of lookers-on, most of them women,
who, according to their proverbial
sympathy with the under dog, pelted
the man with such tongue missiles as:
See the great, big, cruel-hearted
monster! To beat poor, little, in
nocent child like that. He ought to
be tarred and feathered,' etc.
The mans courage failed him. Hold
ing the boy at arms length, he looked
regretfully at him a moment He
wanted to punmel him, but giving him
one feeble, perfunctory little shake he
sat him gently on his legs, and, cross
ing the street, continued his way.

ABOUT THE CHOLERA.

Sensational Newspaper Reports May De
More Harm Than the Disease.
It is agreed by medical authorities
that the virulence of an epidemic may
be increased by the element of fear m
the public mind. In this connection
DIR. D. B. st. John Rosa, president of
the New York academy of medicine,
writing in the Engineering Magazine
on the cholera prospect, says:
During an epidemic Of any kind each
individual should endeavor. as indeed
he should under any circumstances, to
maintain his mental equilibrium - in
other words. to keep cool It is very
difficult in our time to accomplish this,
for the simple reason that some Of the
daily journals think it their duty TO
print sensational headlines, and some
times sensational paragraphs, which
have very little actual foundation, but
which excite and te-rity the tirnid and
sometimes even the bravc-hearted.
The writer was once in foreign
country where an epidemic was prev
aleut- He never knew how violent il
was until he received the newspapers
from his own country deScri Ding IL

PART II.

EPSON Downs on the Derby day,
about half an hour before the time ap-
pointed for bringing off the great race
of the year-consequently, Epson
Downs at its gayest, more especially
that portion of it known as THE Hill, u
on which is assembled just about as
motley a crowd as it is possible to i'm
agine.
Yonder is the youthful marquis OF
Muskrat, who has driven down that
popular favorite Miss de Courcy. of the
Frivolity, in one of Mr.. Newman's we'll
appointed equipages; a little further
on is that well-known patron of the
drama, Lord loosefsh, who true to his
favorite hobby has fooled down Sc
1ect company of actors and actresses
on his coach. And very much they ap-
pear to be enjoying themselves, to judge
from the noise and laughter that pro-
coed from the roof of the drag.
Who can this merry old gentleman in
the white waistcoat be-who, seated in
q landau, in company Of two ladies,
chiefly remarka BILE for their brilliant
attire and free and easy manner, is
pledging them freely in champagne
and deriving, apparently, much amuse-
ment from the wit and humor that
flows from the ruby lips of his fair
friends?
Don't tell me that it is Mr.. Beverley,
the good old gentleman who steadily
ignores the existence of the Derby, and
who we last heard of leaving his home
in Russell square to go to the city as
usual.
I am afraid-nay, sure-it is, though,
and he is in high delight at this present
moment, for one of two remarka bly,
pretty gypsy girls, who have made quite
a sensation on the hill, has just told
him that he is naughty old gentleman,
with a wicked eye.
He shows his appreciation of the COM
pliment by crossing the pretty gypsy's
hand with a sovereign, in exchange for
which she tells him his fortune, rather
staggering him at the finish by saying
that she hopes the next time they meet
on EPSON Downs he will have the two
pretty daughters he has left behind him
at home, along with him.
'Instead Of us! Thank you for moth
ing!" exclaimed one of the two ladies
with asperity, as the gypsies moved off.

The First Popular Vote.

The first presidential election to be
determined by the popular vote east in
the several states, and not by the
choice of the electors by the respective
legisla cures, was that OF 1924, when
Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, John
Quincy Adams and William II. Craw-
ford were the opposing candidates.
The total vote cast then was So. o62,
which was 5000 less than the total vote

CHAPTER XXIII
A CHANCE MEETING.

A month had slipped away since that
memorable evening on which snlome
had made her first appearance on the
boards OF the Babylonian Theatre OF
Varieties.
miss Nellie Barring was still figuring
on the daybills OF tho great music hall,
and ahe was now accorded ono of the
most prominent positions in the pro-
gramme. Tho marked success shc had
achieved there had only been tho pre-
cursor OF larger success she was to win.
On the Friday following her first APP
pearanCe on the boards OF the Babylon
ian, The Ih&Didn--the theatrical and
musical journal for which Mr.. Lloyd
Craven was critic-had contained a
most tlattcring account OF her debut.
The entirely favorable Critique said
among other pleasant things that "Miss
Nellie Barring was one OF the hand.
soonest women who had ever made her
bow to Metropolitan audience, and
was IN addition to that probably the
finest singer who had ever gracod the
music nails with her presence"
After this the well known critic had
said that it was not likely that theatres
Of variety would long remain in pos
session OF such n genuine artist. Miss
Barring was meant for opera OF the best
kind, and would soon find her true
vocation in one or another OF the
temples devoted to tho best work Of
tho great musical composers.
The effect OF that notice, appearing
as II did in a musical and dramatic
paper Of high standing aud undoubted
influence, may be imagined II caused
no small stir in the CirCIoa who are
closely concerned with the stage; per.
