JOKE MAY BE DANGEROUS.
Some Persons In the World Born Without
Sense Of llumOr.


From the London Illustrated News.
There Is no gift Of the gods so dan
gerous to its possessor as that Of hu-
NOR, unless he thoroughly understands
that all Of his fellow creatures have not
got it. We have had some terrible ex-
amples Of this Of late in high places.
but they occur continually In the ex-
periences Of very ordinary people. An
acquaintance of mine very nearly lost
q fortune through quoting to his aunt
with appreciation De Quincey's essay
on Murder Considered as One Of the
Fine Arts"
IF once a man INDUCES in murder
he very soon comes to think little Of
robbery, and from robbery he comes
next to drinking and Sabbath breaking,
and there is but one step from that to
tncivility and procrastination. Once
begin upon the downward path. you
never know where you will STOP"
II see nothing to laugh at in that"
said the old lady. 1.-THE man must be
a fool"
But, my dear aunt" demonstrated
the nephew, don't you see he is joking?
Many a man. he goes on to say, has
dated his ruin from some murder or
other that perhaps he thought little Of
at the time That Is surely very
funny"
1T seems to me extremely wicked"
replied the old lady, land I wish to
hear nothing more Of your Mr.. De
Quincy"
My friend was prudent enough not to
press the matter further; but 1 have
heard Of another young gentleman
who, In similar case. went little too
far. He was telling his uncle, stout
country gentleman. Of Sydney Smiths
reply to the dull man who asked why
the posts at the entrance to the Green
park had been put nearer together.
You have no idea" said Smith,
gravely. what fat people used to get
into that park!'
The stout uncle colored a little and
said: Il see no joke In that"
"Oh, don't say that! pleaded the
nephew, because Sydney Smith used
to say that 1t was his test case, for IL a
man didn't see the fun Of that he would
see the fun Of nothing" This simple
repetition Of 1eu d'esprit cost the mar
rator a legacy. for, though people
may have no sense Of humor, they do
not like to be told 80. What is very
curious, they sometimes take pleasure
In retailing a joke even II they do not
understand It. Years ago there was an
epigram upon Twining. the tea mer-
chant: 'Twining would be whining IL
deprived Of his IT, With my own ears
l heard this repeated, with a slight
alteration, as "Dakin' (also a tea mer-
chanD would be aching II deprived of
his T." nor could the man be got to
understand why his half borrowed lest
had failed. A charming example of a
Joke being taken for earnest is that of
the Scotchman praying aloud upon a
moor behind turf dyke. and express
Ing an opinion that even II 1t should
fall upon him 1t would be no more than
he deserved. A waggish neighbor heard
him and pushed the dyke upon him,
when, scrambling out. he was heard
to say. "Hech, sirs! it's an awfu' world
this; body Gamma say thing In a
Joke but it's ta'en in earnest"

CHAPTER ".

'The rufflans have seized her. They
will kill her" cried.
Duroc sprang down with the inartlcu-
late shouts Of one whose reason had left
him. He struck the door so frantically
with his naked hand that 1t left blotch
Of blood with every blow.
"Here Is the key" shouted, picking
one from the floor. ''She must have
thrown It In at the instant that she was
torn away"
My companion snatched It from me
with a shriek Of Joy. A moment later
later he dashed 1t down on the boards.
1t was SO small that 1t was lost In the
enormous lock- Duroc sanl, upon one
of the boxes with his head between his
hands. He sobbed in his despair. I
could have sobbed. too. when thought
Of the woman and how helpless We were
to save her.
But am not so easily baffled. After
ALL this key must have been sent to us
for purpose. The lady could not bring
US that of the door because this murder
Gus stepfather Of hers would most cer-
tainly have 1t In his pocket. Yet this
other key must have a meaning or why
should she risk her life to place 1t in our
hands. 1t would say little for our wits
II We could not find out what that
meaning might be.
I set to work moving all the cases out
from the wall. and Duroc. gaining u
new hope from my energy. helped me
with all his strength. 1t was no light

more than minutes. before the flames
would be at the edge Of it. These

before they cease to se those crawling
lines Of fire and the black heap beyond.
How little I can remember Of what
followed. Vaguely I can recall how I
rushed into the chamber OF death, how
I seized Duroc by one limp hand and
dragged him down the hall. the woman
keeping pace with me and pulling at the
other arm. Out OF the gateway we
rushed. and on down the snow-covered
path until we were on the fringe Of the
fir forest. 1t was at that moment that
I heard a crash behind me. and glanc-
ing around saw a great spout of fire
shoot up into the wintry sky. An IN
etant later there seemed to come q Sec
ond crash. far louder than the first. and
saw the Ar trees and the stars whirl-
ing round me and I fell unconscious
across the body OF my comrade.
1t was some weeks before I came to
myself in the post house of Arensdorf.
and longer still before could be told
all that had befallen me. 1t was Duroc,
already able to go soldering. who came
to my bedside and gave me am account
Of It. He 1t was who told me how a
piece Of timber had struck me on the
head and had laid me almost dead upon
the ground. From him. too. learned
how the Polish girl had run to Arens-
dorf. how she had reused our hussars.
and how she had only Just brought
them back in time to save US from the
spears Of the Cossacks. who had been
summoned from their bivouac by that
same black-hearted secretary whom we
had seen galloping so swiftly over the
snow. AS to the brave lady who had
twice saved our lives. could not learn
very much about her at the moment
from Duroc. but when I CHANGED to
meet him in Paris two years later after
the campaign Of Wagram. was not
very much surprised to find that I
needed no introduction to his bride.
and that by the queer turns Of fortune
he had himself, had he chosen to use It,
that very name and title Of the Baron
Straubenthal. which showed him to be
the owner Of the blackened ruins Of the
Castle Of Gloom.

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS

New York. July 10-The bears In

their contracts in other parts OF the

as the market after the raid referred to
steadily improved and closed strong
with an advancing tendency AT the
opening the railway share market was
strong, the result of London buying,
the heavy gain in ST. Paul earnings for
the first week OF July and the excellent
outlook for the growing crops. The
Industrials in the first hour showed
some remarkable changes. Chicago
Gas dropped 2M to 52%; Leather, III to
II; Preferred, ~ to SS; Tobacco. 1% to
1l1%, and Sugar. IN to 110M. The
heaviness Of those stocks had little or
no influence on the general market. and
In the afternoon trading the bears We're
busily employed taking back their short
contracts. The Changers, Louisville
and, Nashville. Missouri Pacific land
Lake Erie and Western common were
all higher and scored the best figures
for a long time past. The Industrials
were also in better request, I'm the AFTER
noon trading. and on liberal buying to
cover shorts. The anthracite coalers
were heavy for a time on rumors that
there had been a hitch in the negotia-
tions looking to a settlement OF the
trade troubles. Speculation closed
strong with prices anywhere from Y to
~ per cent. higher on the day. Total
sales were 500 .91S shares, of which $1,000
were Chicago and 42.sOO Reading.

such a deed of blood. and I gave no
thought Of the terrible wrongs which
must have bsfallcn her before she
could so far forget the gentleness of
her sex. 1t was on my tongue to tell
her sharply to be silent when a strange
choking smell took the breath from my
nostrils. and sudden yellow glare
brought out the figures of the faded
hangings.
"Duroc, Duroc," shouted, tugging at
his shoulder. 1.-The castle Is on fire" !"
