terworth said that this recited fully all
that had been done and all that had
been attempted. Why was DIT. hr. Car
Isle had asked. that Mr.. Breckenridge
was willing TO announce his proposed
marriage to Mrs. Blackburn and not
to the ladies with whom Miss Pollard was
planning to 90 abroad to spend several
years? The reason was Of the simplest
sort. The circumstances and conditions
were altogether different. She would not
20 to Europe unless he would publish
10 the world the fact that he was going
to marry her. He had offered to raise
all the money he could to send her
abroad that she might study, II that was
really the fondest hope Of her life, AZ
she claimed. But he would not agree to
what was impossible, and Mr.. Butter
worth said he was willing to aeave 1t
to the jury, as sensible men. to decide
II he had not done all that in reason
he could.
TO MRS. BLACKBURN.
He then took up the statements that
were made to Mrs. Blackburn. He ad-
mitted that that estimable lady had been
but 1t was absurd to believe
that Mr. Breckenridge would take Miss
Pollard to Mrs. Blackburn to ask her
protection for Miss Pollard as his am
anced wife. for Mrs. Blackburn had
extended her protection, though
not at Mr.. Breckinridge's solicitation.
Mrs. Blackburn's Indignation at what
had occurred was righteous and proper,
but. Mr.. Butterworth thought, Il was not
the fault Of Mr. Breckenridge at all. He
had no control over Miss Pollard. He
was not the master Of the situation. She
was the master. He could no more draw
her out Of Mrs. Blackburn's life than the
speaker could turn q comet to one SIDE
by holding on to its tail. He had every
hing TO iose. She had nothing to lose
and everything to win. She held him IN
her power because abe could EXPOSE 6im

nridse would Infinitely prefer death Il

Places In Various Countries where Justlce
Can Be Evaded.
In Scotland there still exists sane
tuary for debtors in the abbey and pal
ace of Holyrood, with its precincts.
The sanctuary is placed under the con-
troll Of bailie, appointed by the duke
of Hamilton.
When the debtor retires to the sane
tuary he has twenty-four hours protec-
ton. but in order to extend the privilege
longer he must be enrolled on the
books of the abbey. The sanctuary
affords no protection to criminal or
fraudulent debtor, or to a crown debtor.
Another sanctuary exists in Hawaii,
called the Rock of Refuge. Ifa crimi-
nal reach the refuge before he can be
captured, he is safe as long as he re-
mains there. His family can and usu-
ally do supply him with food until he
is able to make his escape, but he is
never allowed to return to his own
tribe.
In China the Buddhist religion al
lows men to become priests at an adj
vanced period of life for the purpose of
escaping from impending justice. In
some instances Buddhist temples are
regarded as inviolable sanctuaries for
transgressors of the law.
Formerly there were many sanctua-
ries in England, just as the cities OF
refuge were appointed by the laws of
Moses for one who had killed another
Intentionally, to prevent the relations
of the slain taking the law into their
own hands, as the Arabs still do in
such cases.-Boston Globe.

Ancestry Of Literary censuse,.

Swinburnc is descendant of Celtic
and Scandinavian stock. Tennyson
seems to have been equally of Danish
extraction and PlantaRenet ancestry,
with slight mixture of French blood.
William Morris is descendant Of
Welsh and Anglo Danish stock. Robert
Browning's great-grandfather, who
was of Welsh-Saxon origin. married a
Creole, while the poets mother was of
German and Scotch parentage. Ros-
sctti was twenty-five per cent. En-
glish and northern blood mingled
with his Italian ancestry. The COM
mingling of races in the literary
geniuses of France is more remarka-
BILE still. The grandmother of the
senior Dumas was black woman of
st. Domingo. Flaubert had Iroquois
blood in his veins The father of Vic
tor Hugo came of the Germans of Lor-
raine. Greek, French and Italian
blood exists in Zola: his father was an
italian mathematician. Ibsen is of
German and Scandinavian ancestry,
intermixed with Scotch.-Philadelphia

KNEW THEY HAD ENOUGH.
fwo Mon who Did Not Demand satIsfse

A tall, thin young man and short,
stocky one walked painfully up Main
street yesterday afternoon. They were
well-dressed. From the rear they
looked like two young fellows who had
tight shoes or sore feet or something
of the kind From the front they looked
like two men who had been thrashed
within six inches of their lives by some
one who knew how to use his fists
That is what they were.
The tall, thin man had one black
eye. There was long bruise on the
side of his face and his nose was twisted
somewhat. One of his lips was cut.
The short. stocky man had two black
eyes. His forehead had the skin rub
bed off and his lips were cut.
"Hello.- said friend. what in
thunders the matter with you fellows?''
..Oh,'' said the tall young man,
''we've been licked"
That's right, said the stocky young
man.
How'd it happen?" inquired the
friend
I've got fresh and got licked. That's
all there is to it.
That's enough, amt it?- asked the
stoclSv young man"
..One man or two?' inquired the
friend.
'sOh.- answered the tall young man.
.tIt wac one man. He didn't have much
trouble
But what are you going to do about
it?''
"Why," said the stocky young man.
'.we're going to bed"
but what are you going to do about
the fight?'
Going to bed told you."
Aren't you going to report il to the
policc?'
Police" queried the tall young
man. Report what to the police?"
"Why, the fact that you have been
outragcously treated by some one"
"What have the police got to do with
ito-
.'They could arrest the man who as-
saulted you. couldn't thcy?"
t.Now, see here, broke in the stocky
young man, II told You that we got
licked. We did. l told you that one
man did it. He did. I told you that
we were going to bed. We are. l
don't see that you have any kick COM
ing in this matter. We're satisfied,
amt we. Nelse?"
Perfectly said the tall young man.
with a sicklv sort Of smile. "Tm
dead lucky that didn't get two black
eyes, and the fellow might have gouged
out one Of Jimmy's. Oh. you bet we're
satisfied"
And the stocky young man wiped
some blood off his forehead. and the
two started up the street again.-Buf-

oh: SO long," she said, leach one
longer than the other. But / knew
you would comc-thc opal told me-"
A little later some one said:
"Why, there is Jack Phelps dancing
with Agnes Wilton! They quarrcled
desperately three years ago and she
sent him away. But he is back, like =
moth to the candle"
.sThe candle, said another. lis that
magnificent opal ring that she wears.
Jack gave it to her, and it has never
left her hand since he went away"
Nevertheless" said Miss Merton, to
whom the conversation was half ad-
dressed, '.the opal is . stone of evil
omen. l would not wear one for the
world" And although the night was
warm, she shirered again.
