LITTLE ROMANCE.

'Step, step. STEP.
1t was some one mounting the stairs.
1t was slow ard heavy step and there
| was something grim ana grewsome
about it-something to the listener
that the sole owner and proprietor of
the step was lop-shouldered sun-of-a-
gun without enough mercy IN his
heart to grease a sunhower seed.
"'Tis he-the landlord!' gasped
the woman who sat in the gloom of
her garnet room with white face and
palpit ating heart.
The sep came n a""r-the frail door
was kicked open and Ala nant Flint
stone stood before her and cd 4:

PIT AND PENDULUM.
A Prisoner Waiting to be
Hacked by Time'o
Scythe.
Thousands Whose Situations
Are Scarcely Less Terrible
May Easily and Readily Find
Help,

A man les fat on his back, bound so that
he cannot move an inch. He is in a dun
geon, at first dark as well, but in few min
utes light in the ceiling, far up, shows q
mechanical figure Of Time with his scythe
The figure dcscends slowly, the scythe
swings, and the prisoner realizes that unless
some unexpected help should come, ne will
be slowly cut to pieces. What followed Is
told by Edgar Allen Poe in the fantastic
story called The Pis and the Pendulum"
The man awaiting the approach of a
dreadful death is type of large class of I'M
fortunates who, entangled In the strangling
coils of an octopus, have lost all hope offree-
dom. This monster is Morphine. Perhaps
the victim is yet reveling in that glorious
state of exhilaration which follows the first
use Of the drug. fso. like the man in Poe's
story, he has not noticed the light in the cell
ing and is unaware Of his danger. Maybe
the disease has progressed so far that the
sufferer notices weakness of the hearts &C
ton, that the general health is feeble the
body poorly nourished, the sight double
This is soon followed by peculiar witch
Ing of the muscles, a numbness of the hands
and feet, and the utter collapse Of the
servous system. The victim now becomes

RER-JPPER MARLBOROUGH. MARYLAND MARCH 80 10
MARKED LINEN.

Every man who lays the least claim
to being at all smart this year has his
hanakerchiefs, if not all his linen ar
ticles, decorated with some unique sort
of monogram or initial design, and
invariably in color.
Quite the newest thing is to have
an intricate monogram worked out in
imitation of the designs and colors
seen in old missals, the scroll work,
say, in bright red, with the mono
gram in yellow Or blue, or the scroll
in solid embroidery is laid in, in the
finest blue cotton, the initials IN
white appearing in the centre of the
circle. The finished medallion, which
would not exceed two inches in diane
ter, would require days hard work
by an expert needlewoman.
The man who has decided to face
the responsibility of family crest
must conscientiously display 1t in all
the glory of its exact colors in the
corner of handkerchief. This is far
greater nerve strain than bealing an
escutcheon on the carriage door, where
at least the man inside cannot see
it.
A monogram that sugges a Chi
nese New Years card is a novelty.
This is usually embroidered in fine
cotton of bright Chinese red. As a
rule the most fashionable designs are
small, the letters being diminutlve,
even W hen the scroll is elaborate. Rib
bon decora IONS, flowers, spears Of
wheat and bowknots are entirely out
of date. The plain letters are done in
a simple over and O. er stitch, and the
background is filling Of solid "seeds,"
so fine that they can hardly be distin-
| guished from ssfat work" without a
microscope.
According to fashionable New
York haberdasher, it is a rare thing
for man to send ia an order for
"marking" this year without some ex-
| plicit instructions about the designs.
An original idea and the finest work
are the demand, and nearly always a
mar will insist upon having his own
| idea worked out.
White embroidered monograms are
always in good taste, but the orders
this year are almost always for combi-
nations of the brilliant primary colors
such as the monks used centuries ago
in decorating parchment manu-
scripts.
Only the most exquisitely fine en-
broidcrJ stitches are used for nouo-
gram work, and the strain on the eyes
of the needlewoman is said to be even
greater than from lace work, because
Of the fashion for brilliant colors.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Mrs. ]. c. Webber Of Perth, Takes Nor.
phine After a Family Quarrel.

Mrs. j. C. Webber, wife Of DR.. ]. G.
Webber, of Perth, took a dose OF NOR
phine Saturday night with suicidal
intent. She immediately left the
house and was found about two miles
distant the next morning lying upon
tie ground in an unconscious condi-
tiOn. She was conveyed back to her
home and revived, and is now on the
road TO recovery.
Her rash act was due to family
quarrel which occurred Saturday
afternoon. Mrs. Webber secretly took
dose of morphine and left the house
after supper. At late hour she had
not returned, and the family became
alarmed. Inquiry at various neigh
bOrs' houses revealed the fact that
she had not been at either OF these
places, and a searching party was
instituted. The search continued all
through the night, and their efforts
were rewarded the next ,morning by
finding her body near a wire fence, in
a distant field, where she had fallen
when overcome by the drug.
She had lain on the cold, wet ground
in heavy mist FOR seven or eight
hours. This is probably what saved
her life, as it had a tendency to keep
uD her respiration. DR.. Splitter of
Wellington, was summoned and when
he reached Perth on the morning
train, she was perfectly conscious and
well on the road to recovery. If no
serious complications arise from her
long repose upon the wet ground, her
recovery will be complete.

NOrthbOund Passenger Jumps the Track
Near Caldwell.

The nOrthbound Rock Island pas
Senger, due in Wellington at $3.50
O'Clock am, was wrecked about four
miles south Of Caldwell Monday,
delaying the train until ll:30 o'clock.
The wreck was caused by broken
wheel on the engine truck. The en-
gine, tender, chair car and sleeper left
the track, the sleeper Oyerturning in
the ditch. The brakeman and porter
suffered injaries, the former spraining
his back severely. All Of the paSsen-
gers were shaken up severely, but
none OF them we're hurt.
The train was coming down a steep
grade at a rate Of about 45 miles an
hour when the accident occurred
The engine ran along the ties for half
a mile after it left the track, before
the train was stopped. The conduc-
tor walked into Caldwell, and secured
special train which brought the pas
sengers as far as Caldwell, where a
special Of four coaches was made up
and sent out 10 place OF the regular
train. A wrecking train left Caldwell
for the scene Of the accident to clear
up the wreck.
The Rock Island wreck Monday
morning was due to somebody's negli-

caused tie wreck, was examined after
the smaShup and found to contain an
Cd crack about 10 inches in length.
