Proof Against Knives, but Susceptible to
the Dart Of Cupid.
Beno, the strange Egyptian who is in
sensible to the stabs Of pins and knives
and proof against poison, quickly capitu-
lated to Cupid and married Miss Grace
Wagner of Muncie, Ind. Beno can sus-
pend animation for period Of two weeks.
Upon this last qualification hangs the
romance of his life.

Muncie, Ind, there to remain eight days.
Thousands Of people had assembled to see
the interment Of the rash mortal who was
death had claimed him.
Beno saw the anxious look on the faces
of several Of the young girls, and just as
he was being lowered into the grave he
made a last request that they keep his
grave green. At first many decked out
his living sepulchre with flowers, but only
one was constant In her visits to tho little
mound. This was Miss Wagner. Beno's
only food was air, and this was admitted
through tube. On one Of her visits Grace
was looking down this tube and musing
upon tho strange manner of man confined
beneath the sod, when q cough, half sup
pressed, escaped her. To her great aston
ishment subterranean voice spoke up out
of the tube and inquired who was at his
grave In accents trembling with Joy and
horror Grace gave her name and said she
had come with fresh flowers for his grave.
The lonely man within must have been
glad for tho sound of some human voice.
Ho engaged the girl In a casual converse
ton, which was restricted by the limita-
tions Of the tube. The visits Of Miss Way
mer now became more frequent. The
pretty girl without and the handsome
man within began to go the way of all
flesh. The tube began to carry words that
were not parts Of q casual conversation.
Beno discovered that q man in a.coffin can
still fall in love with soft voice, though
he does not see the face.
Strange indeed are the Vaccinations Of
the little god of love- He might be able to
