The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1896-09-05

groomed appearance of a man of the
world and was charmingly dignified In
his manner Mrs. Cleeve began to bs
interested. II his method was to give
her time to grow accustomed to him
it succeeded admirably.
TT was rather nice to have you
smile on me in such a friendly way,
and wish you would go on, even II
I am q mistake" the man said calmly
Were you going in town with your
friend? Take me instead His cool
impertinence amused Mrs. Cleeve, and
she was decidedly in the mood for an
adventure,
Yes, Sir Curiosity. I was going in
town to dine with my friend, and that
Is why looked 30 pleased when / saw
you and thought you were the man.
I'm hungry, you see.''
Hungry? So am /. Come and dine
with me, do, and show me a place
known to the initiated as you say
Something has happened to your friend
assuredly. Need you go dinnerless in
consequence? Certainly not You think
il a trifie unusual, perhaps? But one
50 seldom has q chance to do an unus-
ual thing: Is not the novelty an induce
ment?"
Mrs. Cleeve laughed. Who pirates
novelty these days? 1t requires little
stretch Of the imagination to think you
are truly my friend. That simplifies
my side OF it-but your. side is more
complex. Who am L? Not that it mat
ters." she added quickly.
The situation was decidedly interest
ing. Why not let it develop a little?
1t might be an amusing adventure to
look back upon.
The man was apparently gazing into
space. but he was watching the woman
and no detail Of her attractive
personality escaped him. She was so
daintily refined; but his intuitions were
keen from a vast experience on two
continents, and he thought he knew
what she would do. Who was she?
But he would find that out later; wo-
men grow delightfully."- communicative
over Ruinart.
The car was whizzing over the boul-
eyaCd. Soon they would be in the
heart Of the town. Mrs Cleeve pushed
the stray tendrils Of hair back from her
face and gave her sleeves a pull. How
limp the night air made things! She
took another look at the man and de-
cfded.
Il am coming with you, monsieur.
I shall play you're my friend instead
Of his double, and Wen be very good
chums-while the dinner lasts. Will
you make a compact with me not to
disclose our identity? am not a cur
ious person, which may make you
doubt my femininity. and after an
hour or SO I shall not see you again,
though people do revolve in circles. Is
IL agreed?"
1t struck the man that she was rath-
er adjusting his place for him, and he
was given to going his own gait, but
he enjoyed in seeing a woman handle
the ribbons cleverly.
Agreed. and there's my hand on It."
He put out a shapely. brown hand, and
Mrs. Cleeve felt a warm pressure for
a moment. Then he stopped the car,
and they stepped out and passed into
MAYORS. where Mrs. Cleeve had been
waiting for Paul Denegre two hours
before.
1t was a delicious dinner the man
ordered. and Mrs. Cleeve was never
more entertaining. To his disappoint-
ment she did not grow communicative

Rough on the Sentry.

Ono Of tho most amusing stories of the
day treats Of mistaken philanthropy. At
a certain army post there was sentry ON
duty near the hospital. The surgeon was
preparing to go to bod inside, when he
was annoyed and alarmed as tho sontry 8
coughing. His experienced chr told him
THAT tho man had severe bronchial aff1ic-
ton, needing strong remedy.
He debated awhile with himself, and
then, going into tho dispensing room, COM
pounded powerful mixture. This he took
outside TO tho sentry with instructions to
swallow it Immediately. Tho man refused.
Tho surgeon insisted and finally command
ed tho soldier to take tho medicine, which
ho did with much grumbling. Then the
worthy surgeon went to bed, pleased to
hear no more coughing.
Next morning, 30 his surprise, tho COM
manding officer sent for him and said that
tho sentry had complained, declaring that
tho surgeon had forced him to swallow
something no thought was poison. An
investigation followed and revealed the fact
that while tho surgeon was mixing tho
medicine the coughing sentry had been re-
licvod and consequently tho remedy had
boon given to tho wrong man.-London

Harmonious prose. but Not verse.

Tho greatest danger which attends the
would DO writer of harmonious prose is
tho pitfall laid by his knowledge of the
sweet oxpcdicnts of verso. 1t can hardly be
said Of any other modern writer of Eng
lish whose pages arc rs musical as Steven
sons that he always avoids this pitfall.
But in Stovonson's wo never come upon

tho vulgar charms of tho rhetorical, tho

and it is almost an insult to tnko pains to
say that he never descenGs to "cheap fin

peal of trito verbal formulas, by tho ut

which nre SO often loved by English writ

Philadelphia Record is responsible for
the statement that Henry Clay was once
in danger of his life from the same
cause.
Mayor Swift Of Philadelphia and
Henry Clay were very intimate friends,
and several times during the mayors
administration the eminent Kentuckian
came to visit him. On one Of these &C.
casions Mr.. Clay nearly lost his life.
During the first night Of Mr.. Clay's
visit the mayor noticed an. unusual odor
of gas in the house, and on investiga-
ton it was found that Mr.. Clay had re-
tired without having turned off the gas.
The new illuminating agent had been
lately introduced, and it is notimproba-
BILE that Mr.. Clay blew out the light in
ignorance Of the proper method Of eztin-
gushing it. Certain it is that had Mayor
Swift not aado his timely discovery,
Mr.. Clay's brilliant career would have
been prematurely cut off.

Chest Pnins.

Chest pains usually cause great discom-
fort to patient and arc sometimes not
sufficiently appreciated by tho physician.
DR.. j. *. Crook relates series of causes
MS illustrating tho diagnostio value of chest
pains. In some cases these pains nro re-
flcctcd from an overloaded or disordcrcd
stomach, In some cases it is neuralgia, and
In exceptional cases tho lungs themselves
arc Mt fault. Most persons with pains in
tho chest think they have some lung or
heart disease. Pneumonia causes pain,
but tho other symptoms make tho dingno-
SIS clear. Consumption is not disease
accompanied by pain, and when it docs
occur 1T is from continual coughing
