New York Times: The average
landlady of the average lodging-house
is nothing if not resourceful and orig
inal. When it comes to the question
Of the merits of her particular house,
the unoccupied rooms of which are
open to inspection at all reasonable
hours, her vocabulary is practically I'M
limited, and while her English may not
always be without reproach, 1t is suffi-
ciently lucid and forcible to give
good idea of the many excellencies of
her domain. 1t has remained, how
ever, for a landlady living not 1000
miles from West Eighteenth street to
make, with the assistance of a num-
Der of unknown medical men, the as
founding discovery that climbing up
numerous flights of stairs is not only
not injurious, but Is actually benefi-
cial to the health. why, bless you"

nate seeker after rooms, who protested
that the fourth floor was too high I'D
for him because of the weary and hurt
full stair climbing. why, bless you,
it's the best thing in the world for

CHAPTER III.

Mr.. Martineau was compelled to con-
TESS to himself that her sincerity was
self-evident.
"Please go on" he said.
"It Is a difficult thing to tell, know
so little about it myself" she resumed.
1.-THE woman whom 1 have mentioned
was my uncle's housekeeper. She was
kind to me, but l was afraid Of her,
She was a very reserved, silent wom-
an think she spoke less than any
woman I ever knew. Our house stood
quite by itself, good way from the
high road, and three miles from the
village. 1 was never allowed beyond
the grounds without the housekeeper.
EVERY day the old schoolmaster
from the village came to give me les
sons. 1t was, as you may imagine,
very old-fashioned education which
received; but liked it. My uncle had
library-neither large nor valuable,
but l read all the books on those
shelves. Robinson Crusoe, Rasselas,
CULVER, the Pilgrims Progress-that
was my only idea of fiction. So the
days and months crept slowly by. My
uncle was often away, and l used to
notice, at those times, greater anxi-
ETY. on the part of the housekeeper to
have an eye on me, and that 1 should
not go out of bounds. 1 was no doubt
closely watched; but by degrees they
grew to trust me more, for was very
tractable. Constant isolation made

world; l had been distinctly forbidden

him; his rooms we're at the other end
of the house. 1 always had my meals
with the housekeeper."

the nuns had never seen me In. But
there was no help for 1t. l never
asked who or what was my uncle; pu.
he must have come vested with full
authority, for the nuns never hesltatea
to resign me to him. l remember now

promised to come back soon. My DIS
tress was unbounded, but 1t changed 10

at had never seen man but the ola
confessor and Jean Baptiste Leroux,
who dug the garden. This new arrival
was not at all calculated to impress a
child favorably. He was a stout man
with a short red beard, red hair, ana
very small, twinkling, pig-like Diack
ewes. His expression was cunning anu
cruel: and, to make matters worse,
could not understand a word he SAID.
He was English. l was to all intents
and purposes French. He did not con-
slider It at all worth his while to at
tempt to cajole me in any way. he
hacked me into carriage, needless OF
nv screams and tears; and so we
drove away in the dusk, the pelting
rain descending in binding mist and
hiding the beloved convent walls from
my poor aching eyes.
81 have very faint recollections OF
nv tourney to England; but the one
thing which l distinctly remember Is
that we always Travelled by night. l
remember, too, that my uncle twice
boxed my ears-once when he told me
to leave off crying and l did not, once
when l stumbled over his foot; but,
what with being always in tears, and
always travelling in the dark, my idea
of our route is very indistinct.

sleep at the sound of bolts and bars
being withdrawn, and seeing glare
of lamplight and woman's face mid

dragged me out of the carriage and
handed me over to her, blinking with
sleep, dusty with travel, half crying
with fatigue. I think she put me to
bed at once. At first, any conversa-
ton between VI was very difficult, as

n1etenrs FalI in Africa,

A fine collection of meteorites has
just been added to the department of
minerals in the British museum. 1t
consists of four stones which were seen
to fall on January rs in the native
villages on the eastern slopes of Mt.
Zombo, British Central Africa Two of
them weighed fourteen and seventeen
ounces, respectively, and the other two
twenty-nine~and nineteen ounces. At
Zomba a crash like thunder was heard.
and the reverberations lasted for few
minutes afterward, and the detonation
was heard at a place ninety miles dis
tant. At one of the new villages the
people were found squatting around
the stone in circle discussing the
miracle, as they termed it. None
would approach the stone, and it was
still lying where it fell when the OFF,
cials arrived. AS far as it is at present
known, the area over which the Zomba
stones fell represented nine miles long
and about three miles wide.-Scientific

I could not understand anything she
said, and I was quite determined not
to learn English, which stood con-
demned in my eyes as the language OF
my uncle. At last, however, had OF
course to give in, and to acquire by
slow degrees, a knowledge OF COL
loquial English.
"It was a dilapidated house, and, l
am sure, in a most out-of-the-way
place-there was no railway for sew
eral miles. There was a small village,
and a tiny church in very bad state
of repair. l did not even remember
the name Of the clergyman"

tineau; "but, from the way you were
talking, you lead me to imagine that

Is that so?"
"That is so, unfortunately" she
answered, with dropping eyelids.
How long did you live there?"

"But l can't understand it," he
said.
"I used to know it, of course" she
remarked.
"You used to know it,"
ooh, yes; but I have forgotten it,"
She blushed deeply while making this
admission.

her face with suspicion. 1t was easy
to see that he thought she was trying
to deceive him.

things? can offer you an explanation;

ANTI-FREAK LAW.
To Prevent the Exhibition of Deformed
Persons to BE Tested.


Chicago Chronicle: George Middle
ton of the Clark Street Dime Museum
has been arrested for violation of the
new freak law, which went into effect
July l. A warrant sworn out by A. ).
Dickson, a collector, was served upon
Mr.. Middleton yesterday morning
while he was in conference with his
manager in his office in the museum.
Barney Nelson the armless colored boy
named in the bill as the freak in ques-
ton, drew crayon portraits yesterday
with as little concern as though his
means of earning a living were not up
for final settlement. The freak and
criminal law, which prohibits the pub
lie exhibition of deformed persons or
those persons bearing criminal no
toriety, is an outgrowth, it is said by
museum proprietors, of q disagreement
between Mr.. Middleton and Represen-
tative Stephen Malato. During the an
archists' trial Nina Van Zandt gained
considerable notoriety through her en-
gagement to Anarchist Spies, leader
of the movement Portraits of both
Nina and her lover were bought and
exhibited by the Clark street museum.
Later, when the girl married Repre-
sentative Malato, she regretted the
hanging of her portrait and tried to
have it removed from the public gaze.
The museum people refused, knowing
that the picture was among the most
interesting of their collection. For
many years the battle ragged before 1t
finally found expression in the anti
freak bill, which was aimed as the
death blow to the museum business.

Where Ladies Coal Ships and Resent
Being Cuffed.

From st. James Budget: Mary
Kingsley tells an amusing story about
West African woman. There was a
beautiful young black government OIL
cial, in uniform complete, and fate
ordained one day that he should be told
off to superintend the coaling of lit
tie gunboat The coaling was being
done by ladies. He, full of zeal and
DESTROYS of demonstrating it, shouted,
talked and gave directions to those Ia
dies, as he stood, uniform and all, I'M
der the government flag, on the gov
eminent quay. They went on with
their work merrily and paid no atten-
ton to him. Presently, other govern
ment officials being about, he, still de-
sirous of demonstrating zeal, cuffed
one of the ladies and said something
disagreeable. They turned upon him,
threw him into the thin black batter
that goes for water in that part of her
majesty's dominions, and went on with
their work. A sicker chicken than that
man when he returned to society you
never saw. His uniform you could not
see for mud, and the other government
officials behaved in an unfeeling way.
They roared with laughter.
