PLOT For A NOVEL

A Brahmin travelling between Chittur
and Nemara was belated on the road and
asked for shelter for the night at a house,
where he was received by two Nair women.
He intrusted to the elder sister 1000
rupees for safe keeping. This reused her
cupidity and induced her to propose to
her younger sister to MAKE away with
their unsuspecting guest and pocket the
money.
The latter, however, stoutly refused to
take any part in the crime. Later in the
night the husband OF the elder woman
arrived on the scsne. when he readily fell
in with the proposal of his wife. In the
meanwhile the younger woman, deter
mined to avert the murder, reused her
unsuspectng guest, who was sleeping on
veranda, warned him of his danger, aid
locked him in a cullum attached to the
house. The brother of the Two women re-
turned toward Midnight. and. fatlgued
with his journey, seeing the house shut,
quietly lay down and slept on the mat
vacated By the Brahmin. Soon after, the
would-be murderers, utterly unconscious
of the change made in the occupant of
the mat, settled the sleeper with one blow
of the rice FOUNDER, and buried the
corpse in the dark without knowing of
their fatal mistake, and effacing all the
trace of the blood that was split retired
to their guilty, repose.
In the morning the BIahmin was re-
LEASED by his fair rescuer, and words can.
not describe the surprise and horror that
ov srcame the mhrderers when their sup
posed victim appeared before them and
demanded the money. Dumb with
horror, they restored it to the Brahmin.
who gave information to the police of
his intended murder. While police in
quiry was in progress it TRANSFERRED that
the brother Of these two women myster-
iously disappeared. The police accord
ingly made vigorous search and un-
earthed the corpse of the deceased, and
found some blood stains at the doorstep,
which had not been wholly removed.
The police have accordingly arrested the
culprits, and tho matter is under investi-
cation. To conclude the interest of the
narrative we have only to add that these
revelations have impressed the Brahmin
with due sense of the extent of the
danger he had escaped and the magni-
tude of the service rendered to him by his
rescuer. lie, therefore, made her pres
ent of the 1000 rupees. which YVES the
original incentive of crime on the part
of the murderers.-Cochin Argus.

Circus Rings

In various ways the circus OF the pres
emit day differs from that OF the past,
but the ring remains unchanged. it is AL
WAYS 40 feet inches IN diameter. Go
where you will. search the world over
from China to Peru, with diverging trips
to the frosty Caucasus and the desert of
Sahara and never circus will you find
without ring AZ feet 8 inches in diam
eter.
There is a reason for this remarkable
uniformity. Circus riders and circus
horses are nomadic; wherever their wan
beings bring they must find the ring al
ways the same, else they will be dis
turbed in their performance, if not re-
ally rendered incapable. Trained to the
AZ feet 8 in"h ring the horse and his ri
der have grown used, worn, one might
say, to the exact angle of declivity 20
ward the center of the ring which the
radius of q feet and given speed pro-
duce.
The mound on the circumference of the
ring always has on the inside level. so
to speak, of earth, at the same angle as
that into which radius and speed throw
the driver. AS for speed, that, after the
horse has gone around two or three times
and is warmed to his work, is the same
through tho act. In fact, strap gener-
ally holds his head so that he cannot get
beyond certain pace.
The ringmaster snaps his whip. the
clown shouts, the band plays louder and
louder, but the horse knows just how
much this empty show means and joys
on at the same old pace, until, with the
last iump through the tissue balloon, the
act is cndod. -Pitssburg Dispatch.
