HELEN'S LUNATIC.

Helen Dacy went to Elgin-not be-
;ause she was insane, but because she
lad second cousin who was. Elgin
S beautiful town, but its street car
service is not good, and Helen walked
trough the village up to the pleasant
park with which the state has sur
rounded the asylum for the insane. 1t
is walk of considerable length from
The gate of the grounds to the build
ing, and Helen was to encounter a
melancholy sight AS she went along
the serpentine path procession came
toward her. There must have been
hundred men in it and they moved
slowly and most of them walked with
bowed heads. Their feet appeared to
press the earth heavily. At first Helen
thought it must be funeral process
sion. but moment later she perceived
that it was something more distress
ing. 1t was the walk of those who
had survived their own death. In
other words, it was a body of insane
patients, exercising the bodies that
held their persisted mind. Helen shrank
aside and stood fascinated while they
passed her. Some of them looked at
her curiously, or with lack luster gaze,
or wistfully. A sudden appreciation
OF her own youth and health and SAN
ity came over her and made her all the
more pitiful toward these unfortunates.
The procession had passed. and she
about Nif,o har nv m thn
hospital, when one of the men quilted
the ranks and walked hurriedly toward
her. None of the rest looked around.
The attendants had not noticed his de.
sertion. and his steps ON the sward
made no sound. He came with a
rapid, gliding step toward Helen, show
ing his teeth In a broad smile. Helen
decided that however impertinent his
intentions might be at least he was in
good humoT. This was consoling, but
it did not keep her hands from turning
cold with nervous dread.
AS he approached he lifted his hat
VIII courtly air. 1t was evident that
the poor wretch had once been gen
tleman, but even the most gentleman
~ of lunatics was not companion to
choose, and Helen moved behind low
lilac bush. She felt that she was white
and that her eyes were wide-stretched,
but she tried not to show her alarm.
Confidence. she had always heard, was
needed in dealing with the insane. The
man moved more cautiously and fixed
an undertaking gaze upon Helen.
Madam" said the man in a pecu-
liarly quiet voice, 1T is pleasant
morning"
Something in the words suggested a
scene in Hamlet" to Helen, and she

Needed the SoaD.

From the Washington Post: 1t was
at a department store bargain counter
for odds and ends. The crush was ter
rife. Women squeezed and elbowed
and showed to get alongside the coun-
ter. Frequently two of them happened
to pick up the same bargain at one
and the same time, and then they both
retained their clutch on it and looked
'daggers at each other until the strong
er of the two won the victory or the
bargain was rent into ribbons. A
naughty matron with an electric seal
coat picked up box containing three
cakes of soap for cents at the same
moment a humble-looking little wom-
an in a faded tan coat had fastened
her grasp on the box. Il believe was
the first to take hold of this" said the
matron in the electric seal coat, freez-
ingly. The humble-looking little wom-
an helu on for minute, studying her
antagonist, then she slowly relaxed her
hold on the box. Well, you can have
it." she said, amiably. You look as
if you need the soap" The bargain
counter is the place to observe how
they love one another.

came to visit relative who is here. 1t
seems pleasant place. Have you
been here long?"
My dear young LADY," cried he, Il
also am visitor. | also came to visit
an acquaintance, with whom | was
walking a moment since. | approached
you to ask if you knew when the next
train went to town, but when | adj
dressed you | judged from your reply
that you were one of the inmates"
Helen sank gently down on the grass.
Il think | must rest a moment" said
she. Il am much surprised" Her
tone indicated something more than
surprise. 1t confessed to great relief.
She paid her visit to the asylum, and
she and Victor Law, her lunatic, went
back on the same train together. To
both of them the afternoon seemed the
most interesting in their lives.
why were there tears in your eyes?"
she asked before they parted, when
you talked with me at first?"
why, it seemed to me that | had
never encountered anything SO sad as
shattered mind behind eyes So
please, pardon me-so beautiful as
yours. | know l am rude, but I must
speak the truth. If you had been mad
] should have remembered you with
sorrow all the days of my life"
Being sane, suppose you will for
get me?"
But she knew well that he would noV
give himself the opportunity. She was
quite certain that she should see him
often. 1t would have been IL gro
tesque anti-climax not to have mel
again after that afternoon.

HIS Mistake as to American Girls.

From the Louisville Courier Journal:
A Louisville girl, who was recently In
Germany, met young English officer
who was in the same city, and, in fact,
in the same house with her for two
months, studying German for his pro-
motion. Like most Europeans, he had
the usual absurd ideas about the girls
OF this country, who, in the minds Of
the untraveled foreigner, are rather
hoyden creatures, who smoke and have
other masculine traits. After dinner
one day, in the early acquaintanceship
of the couple, the officer offered the
Louisville girl cigarette, and, upon
her refusing it, he said: why, l
thought all the girls in tie United
States smoked" $50 we do" replied
the girl, but never cigarettes; only
pipes. If you will get that pipe off
the mantelpiece in the next room l
shall be charmed to smoke with you"
Not suspecting the joke she was play
ing on him, the officer brought the pipe
and filled it, and it was not until he
saw the wry faces his friend made in
attempting to carry out the joke that
he appreciated the situation. He was
continually telling the American in a
tone of surprise that she was just like
the girls at home in England, and her
rejoinder was: Lieutenant, don't you
think lady is lady the world over?"
