FOR THE NATIONAL AIR.
A Restaurantful Stop Eating to stand
and Cheer for the "Star-.
SpanSlel Hammer"

All of the several rooms on the main
floor of a restaurant in one Of those sec
tons of the East side which boast that
fashion favored them before Fifth av-
enue became of note were we'll filled at
the dinner hour on recent evening.
In the largest room, where the Hun
garian orchestra was, every table was
occupied by two, three or more per-
sons. All the patrons of this room
seemed to have come in groups. The
larger number were German-spealSing
or of German extraction, but there
were also men and women from the
ranks of those who once made up 4
good portion of Tenderlon life, and
here and there was a wanderer from
the fashionable world. even from the
church world. and there were a few
curiosity seekers.
A selection from "Cavalleria Rusti-
cana" by the Hungarian musicians
evoked the usual conventional applause.
Sprightly measures that set toes a-tap-
ping and tongues going were passed
without other recognition. Then the
orchestra tried the 'Red, White and
Blue" There was a noticeable change
| in the conversation Of the diners. In
stead of the general buzz, in which no
remarks We're distinguishable as each
person looked at his neighbor, the at
| tention OF different tablefuls was ci-
rected toward the musicians, and at the
end of the piece there was some EN-
phatic handclapping
Presently the band began ''rhe
Star-Spangled Banner" Instantly men
were on their feet in all parts of the
house.
"All up! Everybody up!" one and
another called as they arose at the diff
ferent tables, and the invitations were
acted on and extended until two-thirds
Of the men dining there We're standing,
some of them glass in hand, waiting to
toast the coors at the conclusion of the
music. Dignified, comfortable men of
middle life who had no wish to start
wave of patriotic enthusiasm around
the rooms got up promptly when the
call sounded, breaking short Off their
conversation with the women at table
with them. All stood until the air was
ended, and then women joined with
men i'll applauding.
For that night the Hungarian, class
zeal or popular music, which many of
the patrons 60 to hear, won from them
no such enthusiastic welcome as the
strains of ''rhc Star-Spangled Banner"
for which they stopped their dinners
long enough to hearsit and salute all
that it stood for.-N. Y. Sun.

The UngratefuI Epicure.

The epicure garnishing his miGwinter
meal with cauliflower guesses little OF
the sedulous labors that purvey them for
his palate. I once sat near such a one
in a New York restaurant and saw him
fastidiously degust the tender flowers
and growl at their costliness Its
shameful, simply Shameful" he de-
clared. ''The growers must be par
Gel of robbers!" And he glanced at me
as much as to say: you feel with me,
I'm sure" But 1 did not. I looked at
his SNUG cheeks and gluttonous lips, at
his soft hands and bullying waistcoat,
and wished that he might earn his It'd
bits in the sun. ''Sir," thought, "you
are deficient in imagination; you rea-
son hastily from abstruse matters. The
gentle cauliflower is unvengeful, but
there is indigestion in it unless it be
genially absorbed. You are gazing on a
purveyor unaware. He wishes you no
ill, but he is just. He mildly disagrees
with you-and prays that the cauli-
flower may do likewise. IF. Whitmore,

CHAPTER vi.
THE CAPTAINS PAPERS.

III S<14 L AIN .
We rode hard all the way, till we drew
up before DR.. Livesey's door. The
house was all dark in front.
:,1r. Dance told me to jump down and
knock, and Dogger gave me stirrup
to descend by. The door was opened
almost at once by the maid.
''Is DR.. Livesey in?" asked.
No, she said; he had come home in the
afternoon, but had gone up to the hall
to dine and pass the evening with the
squire.
$50 there we go, boys" said Mr..
Dance.
This time, as the distance was short,
did not mount, but ran with Dogger's
stirrup-leather to the lodge gates, and
up the long, leafess, moonlit avenue to
where the white line of the Hall build
ings looked on either hand on great old
gardens. Here Mr.. Dance dismounted,
and, taking ne along with him, was ad-
mitted at word into the house.
The servant led us down a matted
passage, and showed us at the end into
great library, all lined with book
cases and busts upon the top of them,
where the squire and Dr. Livesey sat,
pipe in hand, on either side of the
bright fire.
I had never seen the squire so near
at hand. He was tall man. over six
feet high, and broad in proportion, and
he had a'bluff, rough-and-ready face, all
roughened and redeemed and lined in
his long travels. His eyebrows were
very black, and moved readily, and this
gave him a look of some temper, not
bad, you would say, but quick and
high.
"Come in, Mr.. Dance" says he. very
stately and condescending.
Good evening, Dance" says the doc
tor, with a nod. "And good evening to
you, friend Jim. What good wind
brings you here?"
The supervisor stood up straight and
stiff, and told his story like a lesson;
and you should have seen how the two
gentlemen leaned forward and looked
at each other, and forgot to smoke in
their surprise and interest. When they
heard how my mother went back to the
inn, DR.. Livesey fairly slapped his
thigh, and the squire cried "Bravo!"
and broke his long pipe against the
crate. Long before it was done, Mr..
Trelawney (that, you will remember,
was the squire's name) had got up
from his seat, and was striding about
the room, and the doctor, as if to hear
the better, had taken off his powdered
wig, and sat there, looking very strange
indeed with his own close-cropped,
black poll.
At last Mr.. Dance finished the story.
"N1r. Dance" said the squire, "you
are a very noble fellow. And as for rid

HIS TERRIBLE SUSPICION.
1t Spreads q Thick Smear of OpaQue
Gloom Over His Correct
Young Life.

Reginald Ashcroft was the son of rich but
refined parents, and yet he was not happy.
There was panied expression upon his
handsome countenance, and ever and anon
he walked to the. window and looked out
over the beautiful prospect that stretched
away toward Wilton manor.
At last he mounted his favorite cob, which
had for two hours been hitched in front of
the stately old mansion, and dashed down
the broad highway.
Upon reaching Wilton manor the young
man dismounted and rushed in.
Geraldine Huddlethwaite, who had seen
his coming, met him at the door.
There was fond clasping of hands, long.

AsTHMA's PROGRESS.
From Cold to Cure.
No relief in other remedies.

There are many medicines that palliate
asthma. There are few that do more than
relieve for time the oppressed breathing
of the sufferer. There are few. diseases
more troublesome and more irritating
than asthma. It interferes alike with
business aud with pleasure. 1t prevents
enjoyment Of the day and makes the night
a terror. A remedy for asthma would be
hailed BY thousands as the greatest posi-.
BILE boon that could be offered them. There
is remedy for asthma. DR.. J. c. Ayers
Cherry Pectoral has cured hundreds Of
cases of this disease, and testimonials to
its efficacy from those who have tried the
remedy are multiplying with every year.
The cases presented in the testimonials
that follow, may be taken as exempliiying
the quick and radical action Of this great
remedy.

which resulted in asthma so severe that I

PENMAN's WONDERFUL FEAT.
An AmbileXtrous Australian Gives
LoHdon Wrapper Writer'S
Lesson in Speed.

Wrapper writing is, it would seem,
d popular way Of earning livelihood
with the inmates of Rowton house, Il
six-penny hotel. Here is an amusing
story of the perfection to which it may
be brought by practice and strong
will. There is tradition lingering
among the elder brethren of the wrap
per writing profession to the effect that
once upon time, when the work was
better paid than now, young man
from Australia turned up and ventured
as last resource into their sphere OF
labor. He spent his all and found him
self stranded until funds should arrive
from the antipodes. So on the sugges
ton of an acquaintance he applied for
job at the world-famed firm OF
Schmidt & Co. On being duly installed
and supplied with 500 envelopes and
some pages from directory he looked
round and asked for pen.
But you have one already said the
young man in authority.

began copying the addresses by writing
simultaneously with both hands. Sc
runs the legend at least, and, further
more, it is averred that his rapidty was
such as to put the 'sluggers' to shame.
Fifty pens dropped from the nerveless
grasp of those who but minute before
had been writing against time and as if
for dear life. A hundred eyes were
fixed in establishment on the unknown
one. Presently the young overseer
who supernteded the Iabors of many
old enough to be his grandfather rose
and timidly said he would consult the
governor The latter arrived and the
situation being explained the Aus
tralian was turned into loose box all
by himself and fed with another thou
sand or SO envelopes. At this rate he
earned enough in two or three weeks to
enable him to last out comfortably till
his remittance arrived, then he went
home and Schmidt's knew him no more.

us this yarn to fill his pipe and have an

ing down that black, atrocious mis-
creant, regard it as an act of virtue,
sir, like stamping on cockroach. This
lad Hawkins is a trump, perceive.
Hawkins, will you ring that bell? Mr..
Dance must have some ale"
"And so, Jim," said the doctor, "you
have the thing that they were after,
have you?''
"Here it is, SIR" said I, and gave him
tie oilskin packet.
The doctor looked it all over, as if his
fingers were itching to open it; but, in
stead of doing that, he put it quietly in
the pocket of his coat.
Squire" said he, "when Dance has
had his ale he must, of course, be off
on his majesty's service; but I mean
to keep Jim Hawkins here to sleep at
my house, and, with your permission, I
propose we should have up the cold pie,
and let him sup"
Gas you will, Livesey," said the squire;
"Hawl1ins has earned better than cold
pie.'
So big pigeon pie was brought in
and put on side-table, and Z made a
hearty supper, for I was as hungry as
a hawk, while Mr.. Dance was further
complimented, and at last dismissed.
"And now, SQUIRE said the doctor.
"And, now, Livesey," said the squire,
in the same breath.
"One at time, one at a time"
laughed DR.. Livesey. "You have heard
of this Flint, suppose?"
"Heard of him!'' cried the squire
"Heard Of him, you say! He was the
bloodthirtiest buccaneer that sailed.
Blackboard was child to Flint. The
Sraniards were so prodigiously afraid
of him, that, tell you, sir, was some
times proud he was an Englishman.
I've seen his topsails with these eyes,
off Trinidad, and the cowardly son of
rum-puncheon that I sailed with put
back-put back, sir, into Port Of
SPAIN"
'We1, I've heard Of him myself, in
England" said the doctor. "But the
point is, had he money!"
Money" cried the squire. 'tHave
you heard the story? What were these
villains after but money? What do they
care for but money? For what would
they risk their rascal carcasses but
money!
'sThat we shall soon know" replied
the doctor. "But you are so confound-
eddy hot-headed and explanatory that
I cannot get word in. What want to
know is this: Surprising that have
here in my pocket some clew to where
Flint buried his treasure, will that
treasure amount to much?"
amount, sir!" cried the squire. ''It
will amount to this; if we have the c1ew
you talk about, fit out a ship in Bristol
dock, and take you and Hawkins here
along, and I'll have that treasure if I
search a year"
every WE'LL" said the doctor. 'Now,
then, if Jim is agreeable, Wen open
the packet" and he laid it before him
on the table.
