RETURNED AFTER MANY DAYS.
New York Man Gets His Reward 70
Stalking a KIondike Adventures,

y -
New York Press: If ever a man cast
pecting it TO return to him, it was John
+. Reilly. the proprietor OF the Bon Ton
music hall.
Reilly GRUB staked" a man who worked
for him to go to the Klondike last spring
and today he is richer by $15, 900. Arnold
Mcpherson, a relative OF Senator McPher-
son. OF New Jersey, was the man he as
sisted. Mcpherson died in Dawson City
several months ago, leaving all his earn
ings to his benefactor. Reilly heard Of
his good fortune only last week.
Mcpherson was a ne'er do well, who
loafed around the barrooms in Eighth
avenue. In the early part Of 1898 Reilly
Mcpherson did odd jobs, receiving In re-
turn his board. clothing and a little
spending money
Mcpherson had the Klondike fever bad
ly. Day and night he importuned his en-
ployer to fit him out for an expedition.
Finally Reilly consented. He grub
staked' Mcpherson with clothing, tools
and food and then bou4ht him a ticket to
Dawson City. Mcpherson started away
vowing eternal gratitude, and that was
the last Reilly saw OF him Months rolled
by and Reilly thought Mcpherson was
dead.
In his morning mail a few days age
Reilly found a letter bearing the post
mark of Dawson City.
News from McPherson at last" said
Reilly.
And truly there was news-of a kind
that made Reilly's eyes bulge out. The
letter was from II. j. Conway. n Dawson
City lawyer. 1t said that Mcpherson had
died there in last May. Before he died
he made a will leaving all his earnings
to his benefactor. The amount was about
$l5, 200.
Mcpherson, Mr.. Conway said. had To-
Gated on several good claims on the Yu-
kon, which had panned out unusually
well. Mcpherson saved ST., 600, and when
he became i'll he thought of Reilly and
left the money to him
Reilly's attorney will communicate with
the Dawson City lawyer as to obtaining
the money, as well as possession OF the
claims left by Mcpherson on the Yukon.

When the Queen Wears n Crown.

London letter: Her majesty has three
crowns, but 1t is very seldom indeed that
she wears one of them. During the
long series Of functions that ac-
~Companied the celebration OF her
last birthday, for instance, there
was only one occasion on which the royal
head was graced with a crown. This
was the drawing room which her ma
jesty attended. The tiara which the
queen then wore was made nearly forty
years & and weighs about eight troy
ounces. 1t is a light shell OF gold,
thickly incrusted with diamonds, there
being no less than 2,G73 white diamonds
and 523 OF the rose brilHants. This was
designed for use with the long strip of tulle
used as a veil by her majesty on state
occasions, such as weddings and drawing
rooms. The queen wears it well back on
her head, n it forms a pin TO fasten
the ceremonial veil, which floats away
from 1t to the hem of the train.

Eighteen years passed away. My
parents had been dead for some time,
and practically | was alone in the
world. During these years of child
hood and youth | had been the vic
tim of a malady, or at least an eX-
periencc uneXampled, ! honestly be-
lieve, in the history of the human
race. Nay, more! ! still suffered,
and, unless something miraculous in
tervencd, was doomed to suffer and TO
remain like n feather in a gale of
wind until the day of my death, and,
for all ] knew, in the next world and
the next.
From the day of my birth | had
been an enigma and a source of infin-
ite trouble and anxiety TO my family
and my friends. | seemed to be CON
~tinually in the hands or in the power
Of some unseen, incomprehensible
force that bafiied their best and kind

ton and my prospects in life.
At times | was just like any other
child, but again, without any assigna-
bic reason, ] lost all ]pretence &c be
classed as a human being. That is TO
say, the conditions, surroundings and
such like, which, under ordinary cir
cumstanccs, would naturally produce
happiness OF misery, comfort or dis
comfort, laughter or tears, had no eff
feet upon me, for the simple reason
that | was subject to q different set of
laws. | possessed all Of these feelings
and sensations, but they were not
opn,go1 IN 4hn ng,to1 Yya, To on ,N,n.,
words, / always had been, and still re-
NAMED, the helpless victim and the
plaything Of the Atmosphere or the
Weather.
This, of course, was not discovered
at once, but dawned upon me grad
ually when | was grown up and was
mentally capable of making a study
of myself and my peculiar constitu-
ton.
Not only was | governed during ev-
crE minute of my existence by what
.guH may call atmospheric influence,
bat | 20 found out to my dismay
that every shade and condition of
weather was represented aud at once
reproduced in my system by CORE
sPonding delights, impulses or pas
sions. In fact, / was a Human Bar
ometer, and every degree on the scale
represented the different stages and
varying composition of my mental
and physical condition, from an in
conceivable pugnacity during a thun-
der storm down to a state of delight
full, all-embracing benevolence, such
as ] was conscious of, when, on some
quiet summer evening | reclined at my
ease on the seashore, far from the
hustle and the noise of the city and
watched the glories of a cloudless sun
set or listened TO the gentle ripple of
the tiny pillows rising and falling,
ebbing and flowing on the sands at
my feet.
Iet another curious fact remained.
Dominating every sensation and idea
OF which / was capable was the fixed,
urwavering conviction that

way, there was a cure for my malady,

CHAPTER +.
Containing white Love and Black
Memory
1t was at the very beginning of the
civil war.
In those days a great many people
honestly believed that all American
babies were born free and equal, but
how the ridiculous statement ever
came to be printed and then accepted
for gospel by intelligent citizens, is
certainly more than | can understand,
In my own case, just as soon as |
was old enough TO comprehend about
my surroundings, or to witch my
companions at work or play. / knew
very well that | was neither free,
equal nor similar.
But 10 return to my story.
! said it was during the late un-
pleasantness, and the day was n very
sultry one, toward the end of July, in
the year 1861. There was great eX-
element among the crowds on the
streets of the city of Boston, especial-
~ in the neighborhood'o of thhe bulle-
tin boards. 1t vas very hard, almost
impossible to believe the dreadful ru-
mors, but nevertheless the word dis
aster' was being passed around, and
many n brave face on that day re-
Elected only too eloquently the stag
gering intelligence.
This, of course, was just after the
first battle of Bull Run. Down at one
of the railroad stations on Causeway
street, anxious, tremulous lines Of hui
manity coming in from the suburbs,
met others going out. Over all there
was ~feverish excitement and a clamor
for news.
Ilst about noon on this eventful
ca! a thunder storm began to gather,
and very SOC broke over the city. 1t
was II Of those dry, ominous storms.
when the binding fash, followed by
The clap and the rattle of heavens ar
tilIory, is liable to bring the brayest of
us to Il halt and TO make us long for
the bountiful rain to descend, to re-
lieve the tension on our nerves, and to

way, but before the big drops had be-
gun to patter on the pavcmehts, the
hurrying pedestrians on the side
walks were called upon to make way
for IA IN who was being carried
swiftly but tenderly GRO the street
and into the station.
The kind-hearted spectators under
stood, or thought they did. The poor
woman had received news from the
front; she was Frustrated with grief
and had tainted away. Perhaps it
was her husband, perhaps her boy.
Who could tell? But the incident
seemed to come right home 10 every
one, as with deepest sympathy they
made way for the bearers, or turned
aside to conceal their emotion.
The general conclusion in regard to
the unfortunate woman was correct
as far as it went, but there was more
to follow. They carried her into the
ladies' room, and there n short time
afteTward | saw the light for the first
time and was ushered into the world
with very little ceremony, while the
electrical storm was at its height and
a frenzy of warlike excitement pene-
trated the city from one end to the
other.
