4 NEWPORT IDYL.

The ballroom at the Casino was
aglow with light and pulsing with mu-
sic. The ball was at its height mo-
ment before supper. 4
Standing near door was a young
man whose features were drawn and
white, and whose set lips made a pic
ture sadly out of place in that gay
throng. His dark eyes followed a
slim, graceful girl, with a crown OF
golden hair and tender, violet eyes,
whose dark, long lashes lent them a
pathetic look just then.
They seemed to be seeking. for some
one, but whoever they sought was not
found until the dancers had twice made
the tour. of the room. Then the two
pairs of eyes met for a second. Those
OF the girl had wistful, questioning
look; those of the man an expression
of stern REIMBURSEMENT.
The music ceased just then, and In
the little ensuing futter they lost sight
of each other in the crowd.
The man, with a sigh so deep as to
be almost a groan, turned away, and,
scarcely knowing how he reached
there, found himself seated in an easy
chair on the wide porch. He gave
himself up to bitter reflections.
Il must be crazy to come here to-
night. I might in time have learned
to forget her, but to see her again, so
sweet and so far off. I could not ask
her to marry me now on little or moth
ing a year. She has been brought up
to wealth and luxury. It is part and
parcel of her daily life, and I would
be the most brutal Of brutes to ask her
to share my poverty. Poor little Mel
. lie! She didn't look any too happy,
either. Well, Jim, if you are not a
coward you will start now and go
so far away that she will never hear
of you again.
Just at this stage of "Jim's" refec-
ttons several persons came along, and
In their gay conversation Jim had no
part. He half rose to go, when he
heard his own name mentioned. In
spite Of the old proverb about listen
ers, he remained in his chair, which
was IN deep shadow.
"Poff Jim Alden! Did you see HIM?
He stood by the door, looking like the
ghost at the feast. What a pity that
he went on Wall street! He might
have known better. He seemed to De
particularly cut up when he saw Miss
Burton dancing away ana never even
looking at him"
II hear that Miss Burton's engage
ment to Lloyd Appleby is announced -
What, that old man! Well, he's
rolling in wealth."
"She did not need to marry money"
"The ways of women are past finding
out"
The figure in the dark corner glided
away swiftly. He had borne all he

A TROOP SHIP FROM CUBA.
(From the St, James Gazette. J

(F'rom the ST. James Gazette.)
We have received the following short
account of the experiences of a woman
in Spain, which will interest all those
who are following the development of
affairs in the peninsula since the close
of the war:
Barcelona, Nov. 80.
We saw a pathetic and interesting
sight this morning-the discriminating
of q troop ship. The crowd which as
sembled on the quay was silent and
some Of the women We're In tears. The
sick soldiers were carried on stretch
ers through line kept clear by mount
ed civil guards, and were taken direct
to the hospital, where I hear they are
most tenderly cared for There is
much complaint of the overcrowding
on the transports, due to the way the

Americans they mean Mexicans)
have hurried away the Spanish SOL
diers. Our landlord, who is an Italian,
with all his walters, met the first trans
port and gave each of the men a cup
of hot soup and a glass of wine.
i wish you could have a chat with
people here yourself, the whole trend
OF opinion is SO interesting; there is
such positive thirst for reforms, and
yet such a dignity and quietness and
resisnment in the way they seem to
look at things. A waiter said to me
yesterday Ga young waiter, who was
certainly saying just what he thought (:
In ten years Philippine will be a
greater country than Spain, for her

is the interest of the rich to keep the
poor ignorant 1t does seem so odious
for more intelligent and good hearted
people than the Spanish peasantry l

TRAVELS OF A THIMBLE.
Found in a Mans Shoulder Forty
Years After 1t Was Swallowed
Oakland (Col) Dispatch to San Fran

Oakland (Col,) Dispatch to San Fran
cisco Call.)
Lucillus Miller who for a long time
resided in this city, believes he is car
rying in his left shoulder silver thin
Bile that he swallowed forty years. ago.
He will so on submit to an operation
to have the supposed Uhimble removed.
Forty years ago Miller was a very
little fellow He was playing around
his mothers feet while she was doing
some sewing. A knock was heard at the
door. Mrs. Miller answered 1t, and when
she returned her silver thimble could
not be found. The little boy said he
had swallowed it, but his story was
hardly credited although nothing more
was ever seen of the thimble
generation passed away and Mil
Ter began to be troubled with a slight
swelling at the back of the left shout
der Little by little the swelling grew
and hardened, and it was supposed that
cancer was growing. He was exam
ined by some doctors, and it was sug-
gested that the trouble might be caused
by the long-lost silver thimble. During
the last three months 1t has been pos
sible to move the source of the trouble
between the fingers and to be assured
that it is q thoroughly hard substance.
Mr.. Miller and his sister, Miss Lavonia
WlliCIs are HOW Staying on treat ave-
nue., San Francisco, and they are both
convinced that the silver thimble has
worked up into his shoulder.
There can be 10 doupt." said Miss
Miller, that the little thimble so long
lost has been found, although we can
not understand how it could get into
his shoulder. The thimble was very
small one, and we believe that my
brothers trouble is caused by it."
Not long ago Mr., Miller decided to
have the thimble-or whatever it is
removed He decided to goFto the Coo
per Medical College and have it cut
out. He went to the college, and as
soon as he entered he heard the groans
of man on the operating table. Miller
at once concluded that ii was more
comfortable to carry the thimbe
around in his shoulder than to submit
to the knives of the surgeons on the
operating table. He walked quickly to
his wheel, flew away from the hospital
and now his relatives are persuadlng
him to make another attempt.
Some doctors to whom the incident
has been told declare that if the thin
BILE shall be found in Miller's shoulder
it will be one of The most remarkable
things ever chronicled in surgery.
