A UTUAL MISTAKE.

AT this story travelled in a round
about way It may have heen elaO'
Grated and built up before 1t can g
to hand but the facts, as nearly as
thev eau be learn ed, are about as
follows:
Mr.. Melton, young man inter
ested in the lumber trade Travelled
on a suburban train one Friday
night to attend the weekly dance
at tie asylum for the insane.
Mr.. Melton lscOnstantiy longing
for experiences He would rather
look at au opium joint than a
donation party, and would rather
90 slum ming than attend a Sun
da, school picnic. The ball at
the insane asylum appealed to his
love for the picturesque. Lowry,
the politician, had promised to
take him ont and Melton had not
allowed him TO forget the promise.
Lowry came aboard the tram at
one of the stations on the way out
and the two were warmly welcom'
ed when they arrived at the asy-
lam for this Lowry was a CON-
panlonaOle man of considerable
influence.
AS Melton stood ln the door
way of the ballroom and glanced
at the rows of well behaved aud
rather abashed people against the
wall, he could hardly believe that
he was so different from the 9th
ers. He reflected that if he were
to arise some morning and tell
the other bOarders that he was the
Emperor of China aud had more
money tban he could use, he NIGH

He knew, of course, that tn
violent patients or those totally
demented were not allowed at .th'
ball. The company was made up
of cOnvalescents or those whose
vision was merely twisted 50 that
they could not see things IN thei
