my arrival quite spell after dark,
and Bennett was waiting for me n
quarter Of a mile up the road. The
first question he asked was If any one
had spoken to me, and when assured
him that even the people at the station
did not know where I was bound for

and distrait and watched me in a
furuve way, and 1t wasn't long before
l felt that he had some sinister de-
signs In Turing me to the lonely old
house. put bold face on the mat
ter and demanded an explanation, and
at that he attacked me and threw me
to the floor. From his savage manner
l believed he was going to murder me
outright, but after growing in his
throat like a wolf he lifted me up and
showed me into a closet and bolted the
stout door on me. OF course protest

my story, and who do you think the
man proved to be? No more or less
than lunatic who had escaped from
an asylum three months before. He
was under another name, lived far
from the address he had given me, and
his mania was the fear Of starvation.
Before going to the asylum he had
locked up two different people In ten.
antless houses to see how long they
could live without food or drink, and
my capture was third experiment in
that line. l bore him no III will, of
course, but insisted that he be returned
to the asylum, and believe he is living
today. In that old house, far from
help and place never visited, he
would have wrought my death by

The diners at popular New York
restaurant are said to have had the
privilege Of witnessing an amusing lit
tie incident one evening not long ago.
An Anglicized young man seated
himself at a table at which there was
only one other person. writer well
known throughout the country but
evidently stranger to the newcomer.
The writer Is a man whose dress is
always fastidiously neat, but by no
means fashionable In cut or expensive
in material When the young man took
his seat, the writer glanced up Mt him
and, seeing that 1t was no one whom
he knew, returned to his study of the
bill of fare.
The young man languidly placed his
monocle In his eye, and, screwing up
his face to keep the glass in position,
treated the other guest at the table to
n prolonged stare.
The stare ended abruptly, however,
for suddenly the writer looked up.
Quick as thought he seized an empty
tumbler and, applying it to his right
eye, stared gravely through its bottom
a. his vis-a-vis.
The monocle was dropped in a very
few seconds, and then the tumbler was
replaced on the table. But the young
Anglomaniac's face was crimson,
while that of the writer remained
grave and unmoved, and through the
dining room rustled the sound of some
thing that suggested repressed merri-
ment.

Golfer Balls Lucky Escape.

According to letters received by Her
bert J. Tweedle, John Ball, Jr, former
amateur golf champion of Great Brit
ain, has had n fortunate escape from
death In South Africa. The news comes
TO Tweedie through friends in Eng
land, who write that Ball, after a long
siege of sickness, Joined his command
in the Imperial yeomanry at Kroon-
stadt and in a skirmish with the enemy
was struck in the neck by rifle bullet.
Physicians attended the wounded man,
but found the bullet must have been a
spent one, for 1t made only a slight
wound in vital spot.
The escape seems all the more fortu-
nate when it Is remembered that an
other English golf champion, Freddie
TAFT, was killed at Paardeberg in al
most the same way while leading a
charge against the Boer rifemen. When
Captain Ball, went to South Africa and
relinqubhed his title Of champion
Harold Hilton won 1.-THE was present
ed with black charger by the golfers
of Liverpool. That he had "close
shave" is gathered from the text Of
Tweedie's letter. When struck by the
bullet, Captain Ball was hurled from
his horse by the shock. The latter,
however. Is uninjured and will undoubt-
edly return with his master.

A CIVIL ENGINEER
WANTED.
Copyright, 1901. by G. b. Lewis.
BY M. QUAD......".......

One morning in my bachelor apart
nlents In London read the following
advertisement In my newspaper:
"The undersigned desires the services
Of a competent civil engineer for sew
eral days in rather strange enterprise
and promises a most liberal reward.
He must be man who can keep a
secret Address -"
I was competent civil engineer and
just then out Of employment. was a
man who could keep a secret. was
therefore naturally interested in the
advertisement. 1t might possibly be
some Job which would get me into
trouble with the law. but II so I had
only to decline to take hold Of 1t after
an interview. l was inclined to be-
lieve that some land or mine owner
wanted private and secret survey
made for his own satisfaction, as is
often the case. 1t Is sometimes the
case that where two neighbors quarrel
one Of them builds n house or barn on
what he believes to be his line, but
which Is found to trespass by few
inches. l could see dozen good rea-
sons why the person should advertise
as he did, and I hastened to answer
him and post the letter. He gave his

Where Eloquence In Wasted.

1t might have been supposed that
Addison, the most polished writer of
our Augustan age; that Burke, with
his versatile intellect and exuberant
eloquence; that Macintosh, with his
almost encyclopedia learning or that
Jekyll, who had set hundred dinner
tables In roar, would one and all
have achieved conspicuous success IT.
the house of commons.
But, as Macaulay has pointed out,
exactly the reverse was the case. Theil
speeches produced no effect. They
wearied and bewildered their audience
And their rising to speak was too often
the signal for general exodus; in fact,
as was said of Burke, they acted as n
dinner bell. Even Macaulay himself.
though on two occasions his speeches
changed the fate Of a division, was in
no sense of the word an orator or even
a great debater. His voice was too
shrill and monotonous, and he poured
out a torrent Of words with such head
long fuency as to confuse his hearers
as well as to battle the quickest of par
liamentary reporters. Bulwer Lytton,
again, could recite an admirable essay,
but his delivery was bad, and the see
saw gestures which accompanied his
speech were as ''grotesque as those of
an old fashioned postboy."
In our own generation no two men
probably have had more highly cult
waited minds than John Stuart Mill and
Mr.. John Morley, but as far as their
parliamentary utterances go their
names are writ in water."-Black.

address as the office of the newspaper,
but after four or five days I received a
call from him in person. He gave me
his name Us James Bennett and his
address as London and left me to infer
that he was a man of leisure.
I was not exactly pleased with Mr..
Benefits personal appearance. He
was tall, dark faced man of troubled
countenance. His eyes had a furtive
look, and he was nervous and Ill at
ease. Had l met him while travelling l
should have been inclined to look upon
him with suspicion. He told a straight
enough story, however. though a rather
queer one. Being left an orphan at the
ago Of II years. he had been brought
up by an uncle living In Hertford coun-
ty. He had always been given to un-
derstand that he would be his uncle's
heir. and he was sure that a will had
been made to that effect, but three
years previous to his call ON me the
uncle had passed away, no will had
been found. and the property had gone
to the next of kin. While the uncle
was rich, he was also an eccentric. Be-
Ing a single man and living almost
alone, he had been almost a hermit.
The house he had occupied was n ram
bling old structure at best and now
that 1t had been untenanted for several
years WAS in bad state. What Mr.
Bennett had come to believe was that
the Will was concealed in the old house.
He had searched and searched without
avail, and he wanted my assistance for
a new search. There might be secret
closets he had passed over. II would
give him my faithful services for three
days. he would pay me Eos. If the
will was found, he would present me
with 1900 more. l was to say nothing
of my quest, make my appearance at
the old house on certain date, and he
would assist in the search.
l didn't like Benefits personal ap-
pearance and actions, as have said,
but there was nothing out of the way
with his story, and l was glad to ac-
cept his offer. 1t would be combining
romance with business to come upon
the hidden will and restore the ousted
heir to his own. His caution to me to
make my way alone from the nearest
station without asking or answering
questions might have seemed queer but
for the fact that we would both be tres
passers while making the search.
had not single suspicion. l was to
arrive by train which would enable
me after walk of three miles to ar
rive at the old house at dark, and he
would have provisions at hand and fiI
up the best lodgings he could. 1 was
especially warned not to betray my
destination to any one / happened to
meet en- route, and l was to bring no
baggage.
All these things seemed all right to
me ut the time. l reached the station
by the train named, but found the
distance to the house to be five miles
