well, helping himself literally from the
dish before HIM and then pushing II
over to Gertrude, excellent with stewed
fruit"
A burning pang shot through Fox
wells mouth and throat at the first
mouthful.
Hang il all, man, do you want to poi
son me?" he cried, jumping up with
such suddenness that he upset the chair
the tears running down his cheeks.
Gertrude rose, too, an angry flush
upon her face, but sat down again at an
imperative gesture from her father.
"Horseradish is good for the blood"
said Seccombe, quietly.
"Yes," echoed Gertrude; "horseradish
is good for the blood" And, ignoring
Foxwell, she walked out of the van.
An AWKWARD gilence followed, which
after few minutes, was broken by
Jarvis.
LADY Gertrude would be glad II
you would go to her, my lord, he said
to Seccombe. "She is in her coach"
Seccon,be frowned, and glanced ap-
prehensively at Foxwell as he left the
table. Five minutes later Jarvis re-
turned, saying: Lord Amberthorpe
and Lady Gertrude Seccombe will be
much obliged if Mr.. Foxwell will ex.
cuse them"
Foxwell's jaw fell. There was no
need 10 question Jarvis, whose stolid-
ity had given place TO triumphant
grin. All the world knew of the ec-
centric Lord Amberthorpe and his
daughter, who lived in caravan and
pretended 10 forget their titles; and he,
Percival Foxwell, had openly scoffed at
the father, had patronized the daugh-
ter, and, TO complete his fatuousness,
had as openl;s sworn at their food.
Visions of what might have been had
he only heard their name flashed across
his agitated mind; but the situation
was impossible, and, seizing his hat,
the scion of the soap-boiler withdrew
with as much dignity as he could mus
ter under Jarvis expression of con.
temptuous amusement.

thought prompt measures necessary.
i can only hope that the strong medi-
cine has cured you of any wish to be
merely mediocre, and to he hedged in
by the thousand restrictions such o
man as Foxwell ordains for women
of his own class"
"Yes; am quite cured, thank you,"
Lady Gertrude answered. "1'he apos-
tie of respectability behaved abomina-
bly,"
That day Lord Amberthorpe wrote
to his nephew, Lord Archdale;
Gertrude was suddenly smitten with an
unusual disease a week ago, fervently de-
string 10 spend the rest of her existence
in the most approved suburban manuer a
drastic cure has been effected, and II you
ore wise you will come down al once and
catch her on the rebound"
Some years later Lady Archdale con-
fessed TO her father that she had found
that a man possessed of right instincts
and no theories made most admirable
husband.

AND THIS Is LEAP YEAR TOO
Eleven Husbands and More to Hear
From,

NEW YORK, Jan. l5.-Mrs. Jacob
Thorn is alleged to have no less
tina eleven husbands. Three Of
these are living in Russia. The
other eight are citizens OF the Unit
ed States. When aboutl20 years Of
age, she was welded to MeyerHure-
wetz, in Russia. Neither from him
nor from any one of the succeeding
husbands, it is claimed, has she
been divorced. Now, Jacob Thorn,
her last husband, has applied in
the Superior court for the annul-
ment of his marriage. He was un-
der the impression when he mar
ried her that she was divorced, but
letters from Russia disabused him
of this. The second husbands
hame was Isaac Winkawetz. The
names of the third and fourth hus-
bands are unknown. The fifth hus-
band who rejoiced in the name Of
Aaron Ekebaum lived with his wife
about ten months. Aaron Kaslofsy
became the sixth but he left after a
short honeymoon. These six and
Mr.. Thorn are the seven husbands
mentioned in the complaint. But
since that was drawn up Lawyer
Price has struck other lines of dis
covery, and previous husbands are
turning up on the average OF one a
month. There are now eleven, all

was current yesterday among hotel
men that the st. Nicholas is about
to experience change Of manage
ment. No details in connection
with the subject were mentioned
except one, and that was that Mr..
Joseph Gerard, proprietor Of the
Grand Avenue hotel, is to be tho
future head Of the concern. No
particular reason has been as
signed for the proposed change. 1t
is pretty we'll known, however,
that the business which the house
has received since 1t was opened
has not been such as was antici-
pated by the company by witch it
was built.

Recruits for Cuba.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Jan. 10
Especial within the last ten
days, twenty-five recruits for the
Cuban army have left this city for
Galveston, from which place they
will embark for the Cuban coast.
They were recruited by an agent
Of the insurgents and were mostly
laboring men out Of work. The
agent contracted to pay them each
$50 per month, pay to date from
time of enlistment, and an ad-
vance payment is to be made when
the party arrives at Galveston.
Railroad transportation from
Fort Worth to Galveston was
furnished each man. The fact
that recruiting for the Cuban army
has been going on here for some
time is well known. The men
recruited are good material for
soldiers,

Enoch Arden Foolish ness

WEIGH, w. Va, Jan. 15.-About
three years ago John Pearson, of
Rosarks, married Miss Anna Lew
ly. After a honeymoon of three
months Pearson went hunting one
day, and failing to return, was
mourned as dead. The general
verdict was that he had been made
away with, as his gun was found
broken in the woods. About three
months ago Mrs. Pearson was mar
ried to Franklin Seals, well-to-do
young man, living near her home.
They lived together most happily
till yesterday, when Pearson uneX-
pectedly put in an appearance and
sought to reclaim his wife. The
woman explained the situation to
him, and ordered him to leave and
not annoy her further, but Pearson
was not to be put off in that way,
and declared his intention of re-
leaving the bigamous aspect of the
woman's situation by numbering
the new husband on sight. Seals
was warned and kept away till
Pearson could be persuaded to act
reasonably. The two husbands
are to meet tomorrow, both agree
ing not to see "their wife" in the
meantime, and see if some ami
cable arrangement can not be de-
vised to be acted upon.

The Proposed Army Increase.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15-The army
reorganization bill Of Congressman
Cummings, Of New York, is meet
ing with much favor among army
men. 1t provides for ten regi-
ments Of artillery Of twelve bat
teries each; ten regiments Of caval-
ry of twelve troops each; and thir-
ty regiments of infantry Of twelve
companies each. Whether the Cum
mings bill be passed or not legis-
lation providing for an increase In
the army force is considered GER
tain, and the new blood will, 1t Is
thought, infuse new life into the
ranks. The regulars all rejoice at
the prospect, because such legisla-
ton will make vacancies for en-
listed men found worthy OF COM
missions, and will also provide for
the coming graduates OF the mill
tary academy.

A LIVING CURIOSITY.
An Armiess Woman Who sews
With Her Tongue

New YORK, Jan. ia patient,
paralyzed in body and making a
living by using her tongue for
hands, has been found in Fanny
w. Tunison, of Sag Hsrbor, l.. l..
Miss Tunison spends her working
hours tied in an ordinary wooden
rocking chair, upon the arms Of
which is fastened a wooden shelf.
When she sews or embroidered 1t
is her tongue that takes the place
Of fingers. The cloth is placed be-
fore her on the tray, and is held
by a block of wood. She picks the
needle up with her tongue, sticks
it upright in the cloth, then picks
up the thread, also with her tongue
bends her head down over the
needle and puts the thread through
the eye. After the needle is
threaded and the thread cut to the
required length, a knot must be
tied in one end. Miss Tunison can
not give the least explanation Of
the way in which she accomplishes
this feat, but she does it neverthe-
less. Then with her tongue she
sews. The tongue, through long
and constant use, seems to have
grown unusually large, long and
muscular. She writes and draws,
and is said to be now able to make
a good income by her own efforts.
Offers to exhibit her in dime mu-
seums have been uniformly de-
clined by her parents.

UNCLE SAM GETTING READY.
Preparations in Army and Navy
Going On Rapidly and Quietly.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. l5.-In
a quiet way great deal Of prepar-
alton is being made at both the
war and navy departments for any
hostile emergency that may arise
from the Venezuelan boundary
commissioners report. That re-
port is not looked for much before
midsummer, although the first ex-
pectation was that the work might
be completed in three months. All
OF the monitors which were on
hand at the close of the civil war,
or which were completed soon after
the war, are now being examined
by naval officers, with q view to
their equipment for harbor defense.
Naval officers now on shore duty
have received orders, without I'M
necessary publicity, to be ready on
short notice for a summons to sea
duty. Retired naval officers Of
high rank have received from the
secretary of war confidential re-
quests for their views and sugges-
tions on the quickest and most
effective preparations for defensive
and offensive operations.
On the part of the war depart
ment there is like activity. The
armories have been overhauled,
and the stock of new Springfield
rifles on hand have been inspected.
1t is proposed, for one thing, to call
in the guns now held by the Ma
tional guard. These guns are OF
various patterns, and some Of them
almost worn out. 1t will take 100,.
600 rifles to carry out the plan, but
the government has in stock more
than enough to equip the militia.
Orders have been issued for very
considerable increase in the re-
serve supply of ammunition for
both the army and navy.
