Two Heads. One Thought.


The words often quoted from "Ingomar the
Barbarian" two souls with but a single
thought" were beautifully illustrated by
one of Suily's experiences in painting por-
traits. Two of his patrons were Monsieur
Brugere and his wife. Both were old, and
each wished to surprise the other with a
New Years gift.
Monsieur first called on Sully and engag-
ed him to paint his portrait No one but
the artist and the sitter was to know of
the transaction, as monsieur intended to
surprise madame on the first day of the
year.
The portrait was begun, and there had
been several sittings Then madame Wis
tied the artists studio. Sully, seeing her
enter. thought the secret had Jared as Sc
crets generally do, and was preparing to
bring out monsieur's portrait. But madame
prevented him from becoming a marplot by
saying:
Monsieur Sully, you must paint my pic
ture very quick; l wish to surprise mon
sieur, my husband. very much He has
long wished for my portrait but 1 have re-
fused. Now l wish to find it hung up be-
fore his face ON New Years morning So
you will paint my portrait, and keep it
very secret from monsieur
Both portraits were painted and both
secrets kept. On New Year Eve, after the
Brugere family had retired, Sully contriv-
ed to place the two portraits in their par
lor. Doubtless both monsieur and madame
knew why the house was invaded at that
late hour, but each thought, "Ah, there
my surprise!"
In day or two monsieur called on the
portrait painter. 'Aha, Monsieur SuIly!"
he exclaimed! Now we have all played a
trick! l trick my wife; my wife trick me :;
you trick both. Very early on New Year
morning madame get up and go into the
parlor. / listen, and l hear her eXclaim
very loud and laugh very much. So go to
her to enjoy the joke.
AHA, my dear!' say. is it like?'
"'You shall look if it is like, said she;
and there, by the side of mine, found her
picture
"'Aha, Sully has told you my plot and
you counterplot me" But l found it was
the same thought in two heads
''And the mutual desire to produce an
agreeable surprise" said the artist.

PIRATES ROB A STEAMER.
Kill the Captain and Take the Pas
senGers' Saluabies.

Seattle. Wash, Feb. IA gang OF pi-
rates boarded the river steamer Chung
On, at WuchOw. as passengers on a re-
cent trip to Canton. and at Do Sing sew
eral more came On board They had re-
volyers and ammunition concealed in
earthen jars which they said contained
food.
When the steamer was nearing Chat
Party the pirates broke their jars and Sc
cured the arms The Chinese captain got
one of the reyolYeTs and amid a voIley of
bullets retreated into the pilot house.
He was leaning out of the window wait
ing for the pirates to appear when one
sneaked around the corner of the pilot
house. grabbed the pistol and wounded him
Then the gang took the captain on deck
and emptied six chambers of a revolver
into his breast, after which they cut of
two fingers and two toes
Two OF the crew were wounded.
The pirates then went through the pas
sengers, taking all valuables and even
stripping their victims of the clothes they
were wearing. They left the steamer az
So Kee.
The passengers were afraid to go on to
Canton and the steamer put into three
ports before police could be found who
dared TO take up the chase.
