THE MANIAC IN THE CAR.
A Drama With a Satisfactory Ending
Tor All but the NerYQu2 MOmau.

A Drama With "a satisfactory Ending
for All but the Nervous Woman.
From the New York Sum- t--1t.-
1t was perfectly obvious that the man in
the corner was crazy. At least 1t was per-
fectly obvious to the nervous-looking
woman who sat just opposite him in the
cable car. 1t was not so much the mystical
series of wigwag signals which he was
making with his handkerchief as the amaz-
ing contortions Of his face In the intervals
of these contortions he stared intently in
the direction of his nervous vis-a-vis. but
at nothing in the world, SO vague was his
look. Then he would tap the bridge Of his
nose with his finger, grimace, and screw
his features into horrible expressions Of
malignant madness.
The poor woman didn't know what to do.
Her alarm was SO apparent that all the
others In the car noticed 1t, even the man
himself in one of his lucid intervals, and
violent than ever. Every physician knows
that maniacs delight in playing upon the
terrors Of those who exhibit fear OF them
Perhaps the woman herself knew 1t; at any
rate, her feelings finally reached an
intensity such that when the man half
rose from his seat she shrank into her cor
ner with stifled squeak. which brought
from him glance of triumph, or perhaps
again, with an expression of disappolnt-
mert, as If his time haa not yet come.

held herself gathered close. with every
muscle strained, ready to spring and flee.
She didn't have lonSto wait
The man looked toWard her with that ter

The handkerchief cfenched in one of them
5erked In short, sharp oscillations. His eyes
beg began u to bulge out His face became pur-
pie. Beneath his curling lips could be seen
his teeth. bare to the gums. He leaned for
ward toward the horror struck woman, his
face protruding almost into hers. His sharp,
hot breath was on her Cheek. and Just as
his arms went up to clutch she made one
bound from her seat that ,tpok her half way
down the car.

be passed over. 1t was fine grass green
canvas cloth made with round skirt hav-
ing a broad band of striped black and white
ribbon at the hem. Half way to the waist
ran another band of ribbon, giving the
overskirt effect rather cleverly. A very
high pointed corselet of the skirt material
came we'll over the bodice of green and
white embroidered mousseine. A deep COL

Dress for the race course is as smart in
Cairo as elsewhere. At the second winter
meeting Of the Khedivial Race Club the
other day an Englishwoman who had two
horses entered, drove out to the track in
silvery white cloth gown, with full skirt
gauged on to a cord about the hips and
trimmed with three rows of rather narrow
yellowish brown ribbon. The bodice was
made with white velvet zouave embroid

lace and ribbon. The sleeves had the shoul-

rows of creamy lace gathered across the

at one side. The broad belt and the stand

UNJUST THOUGHTS.
Ii . Confession Of Them to the Per-
sons WrOnged Advisables

From Harper's Bazaar.
There are persons with supersensitive
consciences who seem to find eurcease from
remorse If they confess TO those of whom
they have had unjust thoughts the fact
that these thoughts have existed. 1 cannot
imagine more senseless or gratuitously
unkind practice than this. II a woman's
husband has had, unsuspected by her, bit
ter and unkind thoughts of his wife, why
should he. when in a more amiable frame
OF mind, confess to her the fact Of his mo-
mentary disloyalty? 1t does not undo the
injustice he has done her in thought and
orly makes her unhappy, and perhaps sus-
plclouS that the same mental alteration
may seize him again.
One woman approached her husband in
the following fashion:
John. my conscience hurts me dread
1uliy- A few days ago 1 was strongly
tempted to deceive you and to lie outright
to you You never suspected it,"
But you did not do it?" asked John
oh no; but the temptation was there
and 1t hurts my conscience to remember It,
So ! want to tell you all about it. dear
And don't want to hear 1t, thank you."
was the blunt response 1T will do YOU
no good to tell me about 1t. Since You did
not deceive me, l am satisfied. Had you
lied to me. l might listen to your confes-
SIGN Your temptations to sin are none of
my business; they are between your God
and yourself"
was he not right? Why disturb a pres
ent peace and confidence by telling what
might have been, but was not? Would we
not all rather believe implicitly in our dear
ones and in their affection than to know
that they ever entertained an unjust
thought toward us?
Thank heaven, there is a vast difference
between temptation to sin and yielding to
the sin itself! You will be stronger to fight
against evil for having resisted a great
temptation. Others might not comprehend
how you could have ever been tempted to a
certain sin. and may lose confidence in Won
because you acknowledge the temptation
IL We have done anybody a tangible
wrong that can be corrected, let us con-
TESS it to the wronged ones face. make
wEat reparation We can, and ask for par
don. But if the evil against our dear one
mas only been in thought, let US not do him
an additional injustice by telling him of II.
and thus make him unhappy We NAV
recognize the sin in ourselves, confess il to
Gcd, and ask pardon of the One to whom
all secrets are known. Then nobody will
suffer for our weakness but ourselves and
We will. at all events, be guiltless of the
sin of disturbing the peace of mind of an
other.
Some people seem to have a passion for
seif-humilia ton. They cry Peccayi on all
occasions, and confess their faults with an
ease that betrays long practice 1t is to be
wondered if ones self-respect does not suf-
fer by the habit, and there is room for Sc
rious doubt if the repentance of such a per
son is as sincere as is his who confesses
less and shows his penitence by his works
