MARK TWAIN CHIDED.
a GirPs Voice from Up
stairs.
ITO Be Continued

The president of the Chicago PreEs
club went to New York for the pur-
pose of inducing 'Mark Twain to
come here to deliver lecture for the
benefit of the c. p. c., says the
Chicago Tribune. Mr.. Clemens was
up in the mountains of New York
when the Chicago man arrived. The
latter patiently awaited the return of
the humOrist, and succeeded in meet
ing Mr.. CIe:Cens in his study at a rath-
er late hour. According to the Chi
cagoan, Mr.. Clemens was not favorabIy
inclined. Indeed, he was not in one Of
his happy moods.
Il can't go to Chicago; [ won't Co."
he said in an UNDERSIGNED voice. The
Chicago man intimated that the Press
club would be willing to pay any sum
which Mr.. Clemens saw fit to name.
THAT has nothing to do with it,"
Mr.. Clemens replied. Il wouldn't go
to Chicago for 100000, nor anywhere
else Now that settles it. am going
to have some rest"
At that, the voice of a young per.
son, the Chicago man says it was q
girls voice, was heard from the top
of the stairway. Don't get excited"
said the voice.
Mr.. Clemens turned his face in the
direction of the stairway and scowled,
"You go to bed" he Numbered. Then
turning to the Chicagoan he said in
voice almost musical: Perhaps may
come some other time-not now"
Then he turned his face in the di-
rection of the stairway again and lis
tened. There was a subdued giggle at
the top. And the face of the grizzled hu.
morist became radiant.

CHAPTER XVIII.

To say that Mr.. Rays abrupt an
nouncement was a surprise to the
dense throng of listeners is putting
it mildly. To say that it was re-
ceived with incredulity by part of the
soldiery, and concern, if not keen ap-
prehension, by old friends of Sandy
father who were present, is but a
faint description of the effect OF the
lads emphatic statement.
To nine out of ten among the assem-
bly, the young officer was a total
stranger. To more than nine out Of
ten the Identification of the dead as
Walter Foster, Maidie Rays luckless
lover. was already complete, AMI
many men who have made up their
minds are incensed at those who dare
to differ from them.
True, Mr.. Stuyvesant had said that
the sentry, No. 6, did not remind him
except in stature, form, and posi-
bly, in features, of the recruit he
knew as Foster on the train. He did
not speak like him. But, when close
ly questioned by the legal adviser of
the provost-marshaPs department,
the officer who conducted most of the
examination with much of the man
ner of a prosecuting attorney, Mr..
Steuyvesant admitted that he had
only seen Foster once to speak to,
and that was at night in the dim light
of the Sacramento station on what
might be called the off-side of the
train, where the shadows were heavy,
and while the face of the young SOL
der was partially covered with a
bandage. Yet Vinton attached i'm
portance to his aide-de-camp's opin.
ion, and when Ray came out fiat
footed, as it were, in support of Stuy-
vesant's views, the general was Wis
IDLY gratifed.
But, except for these very few, Ray
had spoken to unbelieving ears.
Sternly the military lawyer took him
in hand and began to probe. No
need to enter into details. In ten
minutes the indignant young gentle
man, who neverin his life had told a lie,
found himself the target of ten score
of hostile eyes, some wrathful, some
scornful, some contemptuous, some
insolent, some only derisive, but all,
save those of a few silently observant
officers, threatening or at least inim-
ical.
Claiming first that he knew Walter
Foster well land, indeed, it seemed
to him he did, for his mothers letters
to the Big Horn ranch had much tc
say of Maidie's civilian admircr
though Maidie herself could rarely be
induced to speak Of him). Ray was
forced to admit that ne had met hin
only twice or thrice during briei

his loved ones before they moved so
Fort Leavenworth, and then he owned
he paid but little attention to the
signing swain. Questioned ns 20 hig
opportunities of studying aid Gbserv-
ing Foster, Sandy had been con-
strained to say that he hadn't OBJ
served him closely at all. He ''did0't
want to-eXactly." They first met, j:
seems, in saddle. The winter wealth
er was glorious at Averill. They had
a fine pack of hounds; coursing for
jack rabbit was their favorite sport,
and, despite the fact that Foster had a
beautiful and speedy horse, Ibis seat
was so poor and his hand so jerky he
never managed to get up t. the front"
said Sandy.
1t was not brought out in evidence,
but the fact was that Sandy could
never be got to look on Foster with
the faintest favor as a sutton for his
sisters hand. A fellow who could
neither ride, shoot nor spar-whose
accomplishments were solely of the
carpet and perhaps the tennis court
the boy had no use for. He and Maidie
rode as though born to the saddle.
He had seen Foster in an English rid
ing suit and English saddle and an
attempt at the English seat, but de-
cidedly without the deft English hand
on his fretting hunters mouth the one
day that they appeared in the field
together, and the sight was too much
for Sandy. That night at dinner, and
the later dance, + Oster's perfection of
dress and manne: only partially re-
deemed him in i;andy's eyes, and
well-really, that was about all he
had ever seen of Poster.
Questioned as to his recollection Of
Fosters features, stature, etc., Sandy
did his best, and only succeeded in
portraying the deceased almost to the
life. Except, he said, Foster had long,
thick, curving eyelashes, and ~''this
man hasn't"-but it was remembered
that brOws and lashes both were
siuged off in the fire, so that point
failed. Questioned as to whether he
realized that his description tailed
closely with the appearance of the
deceased, Sandy said that that all
might be, but still ''this isn't Foster"
Questioned as to whether, if the de-
ceased were again to have the color
and action-the life that Foster had
year ago-might not the resem-
blance to Foster be complete ?-Sandy
simply couldn't tell"

A voice from the Dead.

The story of law case with strange
" dramatic adjuncts comes from Rus
STA. One of the wealthiest landown-
ers near Smolensk died not long ago,
and after the funeral his heirs looked
vainly fer the will, but without sue
cess. A few days later young man,
seeing a graphophone on the table in
the library, put into it record which
he supposed was that of a popular
Russian song. To his amazement and
terror, instead of a song he heard the
dead mans voice recite the words OF
the missing will. The heirs were moth
fed of the discovery, lawyers were
summoned, and they lost no time in
examining the record containing The
will. 1t was found to be flawless, and
the question then arose whether viii
left on a graphophone cylinder would
be deemed valid by the courts. This
question is now before the supreme
court at ST. Petersburg.-YOuth'
Companion.
