Marriages by order were so common
that among our servants. each time a
young couple foresaw that they might
be ordered TO marry, although they had no

took the precaution Of standing together

The stratagem was usually successful.

that my father would permit him to 20

ing hard at his trade he could manage
to lay some money aside and to buy free
dom for the girl. Otherwise in marrying
one of my fathers serfs she would have
become the serf of her husbands master.
However, as Andrel and one of the maids
of our household foresaw that they might
be ordered to marry, they agreed to
unite as godparents in the christening Of
a child. What they had feared happened;
one day they were called to the master.
and the dreaded order was given
I'VE are always obedient to your will"
they replied, but a few weeks ago we
acted as godfather and godmother at a
christening" Andrei also explained his
wishes and intentions.
The result was that he was sent to the
recruiting board to become a soldier.
Military service in those times was ter
rble. 1t required a man to serve twen-
ty-five years under the colors, and the
life of a soldier was hard in the extreme

ROMANCE OF A TOOTH.
Involves a Sweetheart, GunpOwder,
Love and "a Daughters Duty.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Replanting human teeth with success
full results has advanced so far beyond
the tentative stages that DR.. Kirk. dean
of the Dental College at the University OF
Pennsylvania, has offered himself as a
sacrifice to sciences by voluntarily having
one of his teeth extracted and replanted
Tor purpose of noting the practical results
of so painful an operation. What is
claimed by the advocates Of this new IDEAL
in dental surgery is that decayed teeth
may be pulled out, filled, filed and polished
up and put back In the socket from which
they were drawn, where they will grow
In tight and serviceable.
Though the return of the tooth to the
place from which it was extracted is IN
entire novelty, yet in the latter part Of
the fifteenth century it was not unusal
for a wealthy person who lost a tooth to
purchase one of the same build from an
other person and have IL inserted in his
mouth as soon as his own was removed.
That this operation was frequently sue
cessful Is shown by the well-known story
OF John Hall, the novelist. Mr.. Han was
engaged TO Miss Robbins, a very beauti-
full orphan girl, who lived on South Second
street, below Dock creek, with his grand
mother, who was in comfortable circum-
stances at the close of the American revo-
luton. Mr.. Hall was obliged to visit
England, and in his nine months absence
Miss Robbins income very materially de-
creased, owing to the fluctuations in real
estate of that period. Her health failed,
life itself seeming 20 depend upon her go
ing for a time to the country; but not u
debt for rent could be collected. and the
two ladies were literally without money.
A dentist residing near, had always been
friendly 20 them, and to him the grand
daughter applied for advice. While wait
Ing for him to finish with a patient having
a front tooth extracted the man said he
would give 500 for one of Miss Robbins
front teeth. They dickered about the
price, until he finally offered 500. and the
tooth was extracted and Immediately
planted in the mans mouth. The dem
fist took the preeaution Of ascertaining
that he lived IN the city and was Of good
reputation, and all parties were content
with the transaction.

who makes his living outfrof the horses,
as hundreds manage 10 do.
Grammar once Thought to be wise with
his new money. He had the real estate
idea. He bought and fftted' up brilliant
cafe down at Lexington and called it the
Navarro. Lexington is old and staid, and
Grannan's place was too brilliant for
the blue grass town. There is a mort
gage on it now. He tried again in Louis
vile, and built a brick house with trim
mingS and put a saloon on the corner.
That did not pay and the necessities of
his ring career took that from him in
turn. Grammar may to-day be worth a
thousand dollars He might have quar-
ter of a million. +f
He is silent as to his properties, but all
the world knows that he is betting on the
shoe-string principle asain, and Is no lon

"Pittsburg Phil has even grown cold
toward his old love. He is a born gambler
and of the Grammar type. save that he
is a more genial soul, and is perfectly
willing to let the world know when he
wins or loses, and how much. He is still
strong enough to put down good bet
when he wishes, but he Is not the Phil
he was back FOUNDER a short time ago
when he brought off that wonderful coup
with King Cadmus.t
Memory is NOT always correct as to fig
ures, but 100000 seems to be the amount
he gathered in over the Cadmus affair.
That was the biggest thing he ever did.
Cadmus was not much Ola horse-just
selling platter. you might say. Phil had
managed him so that nobody knew of the
gailopers capacity.
One day he put the colt in soft place
and started him. AS good as 100 to / was
offered about him in the ring and Phil
went down the old-tlnne line and got all
of 1t he could. Cadmus won. and the
next day, Phil, from a character of local
note, became plunger of national fame.
Pittsburg produced Phil from one Of its
numerous poolrooms. He was humble,
like Grammar but Just as ambitious For
tune in its freaks found him playing low
in the poolrooms and blessed him. He
sat in that game two or three years. Luck
followed his efforts and he left the rooms
for the track.
The money drifted his way just the
same, and he came to be thing OF mo-
ment in the betting ring. S. t
He found out what Phil Dwyer knew
before him, that rich purses and richer
stakes are good things to accumulate
while you are about the game and much
Of what Pittsburg Phil has put to his
credit in the later seasons has been money
which the horses earned. He has had no
coup Ia a long while, and he surprises the
ring with 5000 plunge now. He doesn' {
do that often, either. He is one of the
few who may go out of the business with
a bunch or money ana band of brood
mares, for even now he has lost the name
Of 'iPlunger Phil" and Is just a betting
man.
Chris Smith was one of the tribe. He is
a little, nervy fellow, from the Lord only
knows where.
He had his career on the Western tracks.
His blooming was not so brilliant as that
Of Grammar or Pittsburg Phil He was as
quiet as Grammar, but drank some. and
made mistakes. Smith made his real kill
