He was His own Grandfather.

OF all genealogical curiosities the one
set forth below Is probably the oldest
a singular piece Of reasoning to prove
that man may be his own grandfather
Here it is: There was a widow (Anne)
and her daughter (Jane) and man
fGeorqe) and his son (Henryl. This wld-
ow married the son. and the daughter
married the father. The widow was
therefore mother Gn law to her hus-
bands father and grandmother to her
own husband. By this husband she had
a son David, to whom she was of course
great-erandmother. Now, the son Of q
ereat-grandmother must be grandfather
or eranduncle to the person to whom
his mother was or is great-grandmother,
but in this instance Anne was great
GRANDMOTHER to him David, therefore
David could not be other than his Owl

A Few Reasons TO Account for the POpu

A Few Reasons TO Account FOR the POpu-
Iarity Of Ono Form of Journalism.
Why do persons of notoriety admit
the domestic interviewer? Probably a
number of reasons may be assigned.
Tsse most respectable is indolent good
nature; it is easier to say Eyes" than
"no;" to have the tiles in your fireplace
described as PERSIAN, and, at the same
time, as the work of an Englishman,
than to keep your drawing room for
your acquaintances. This is the fairest
plea for permitting your person and
furn- -ture to be exhibited to the subur-
bar citizen who, honest man, prob
ably never heard Of you and cares very
little about you.
Again the patient may really like be-
ing talked about in public-may enjoy
the idea of permitting all the world to
know, as Mr.. Allen says, "curious little
details which might be left to your con-
science, your cook and the commission
ers Of inland revenue" It is an odd
taste, but it is possible that "the animals
enjoy it," The interviewed may pre-
tend to complain, but may really re-
ioice. The public does not mind it, the
patient is pleased, the interviewer earns
his fee in the way be has been inspired
to choose.
All this may be admitted, but the plea
Of necessity cannot be admitted Again,
probably many of the patients think an
'sinterview" a good advertisement. They
are brought before the public notice;
therefore the public will read their books
or buy their pictures This is q sad mis-
take. The public which reads interviews
knows nothing about the interviewed
author and his works, cares nothing
about them nor about anything Of the
sort. Here is gossip about somebody
whose name / have seen in the papers,
says the reader, SO he reads the gossip,
but there his interest ends.
The theory Of advertisement, of profit
to accrue from a little more Of personal
notoriety, is a blunder. The public OF
this kind cares to know that an author
suuints. weighs l2 stone 10 or has Q
broken nose, or uses a thick handled
pen; but as to what he writes with thai
pen this kind of public is serenely in
different. Where, then, is the necessity
for admitting the interviewer Neces
sity there is none, but incidence, vanity
love Of notoriety, are likely to keep th'
author Of interviews in full employ
ment,

Upon the minds Of such people as
the Hawaiians were, while under their
ancient form Of religion, it was but nat
ural that superstition should gain a
rooted hold. The most curious and ef-
fective belief to which they were made
gubiect was that a man can be prayed 70
death-a belief that survives among the
natives to the present day. For the sue
sess Of the tragical death prayer 1t was
necessary to obtain some hair or piece
az finger nail of the intended victim. a
nriest was then employed to use incanta-
lion aud prayer for his destruction. Al
wavs informed Of the doom that the
priest was invoking upon ihim, the VIC
tim generally pined away and died.
There is a story current that an Eng
Hsbnan in the service Of Kamehameha
having incurred the displeasure OF a
priest. the latter proceeded to " remove
him by the death-prayer process. Inc
Anglo-Saxon, however, set up an opposi-
ton altar in derision, and jokingly pro
claimed that he intended to pray the
nriest to death. Alarmed at the threat
and overwhelmed at the failure OF his
own incantations, the sorcerer died, prov
ing by his death his faith in his rellglon.

CHAPTER vi.
THE ESCAPE.

The sergeant of the gendarmes now
took a decisive attitude. Calling to the
men under Kim, he ordered them to ar
rest both Marie and her husband, as it
would be necessary to bring them before
the magistrate of the commune.
Nine. Beaumont protested vigorously
Her poor child was in no fit condition
for journey; that there was no charge
against her that would warrant such a
thing; that her father would not prefer
the charge against his own child; that
the whole thing was mistake; that if
any harm should happen to Marie it
would be a murder nothing but MUIR
der-and that he, the gendarme, would
be the murderer, and for all his smooth
ways and words that they all knew now
to be false would hereafter perish in ev-
erlasting torment, for that the lie bon
Dieu was just and would not suffer such
things. A thousand such things tho
poor soul said in her distraction, to the
satisfaction of the neighbors and to the
growing anger of the other gendarmes,
who would fain have resented them in
some forcible way.
But the sergeant was strong and
masterful man and knew how to keep
his subordinates in order. Heswas HIM
self full Of pity for poor Marie, but he
believed that she was screening some
one-most probably her husband, to
whom he had taken strong aversion.
There is generally all instructive feeling
against the other, on the part Of both the
predatory man and the man of the law.
Besides all this there was the mystery
of the death of Pierre Lamar to be
cleared up, and the sergeant had some
how got it into his head that in some
way or other Robert Macaire was con-
cerned in the matter. He had not got
any ostensible ground for the belief, so
he did not venture to even hint as yet at
such a thing, but he had every intention
Of following up the train.
He had fully made up his mind to keep
his eye on him, and he was not satisfied
how it was that a man so different from
all around him had come to be settled in
this little unknown village. Indeed
were the most secret thoughts of the
astute gendar1ne known = not those
which had actually found voice to his
own suspicion, but those which as yet
his instinct had not revealed to his rea-
son-it would have been found that he
half suspected him of being in the cate.
CORY of wanted"
Robert tried at the first go off to take
a high hand in the matter and claimed
the rights of citizen, but the sergeant
took such a prompt and decided view in
the opposite direction that he quickly
succumbed to the inevitable and deter
mined to trust to the chapter of acct
dents, the more so as the views of the
gendarmes were accompanied with ap-
propriate action in the shape of manacles.
The party that set out over the noun
tain path that afternoon was sad one
indeed. Marie was quite broken down
with grief and pain. She had not even
the consolation of kind word, for Rob
ert not only kept scowling at her all the
time, and treating even any direct ques-
ton which she might ask him with silent
contempt, but he resented her speaking
to any of the gendarmes, who now and
again proffered some little kindness Of
speech Or action.
