Russell)
/ Hubby had promised to be home
| early for Dinner. He had one Foot on
the Step of the Street-Car when he
happened to remember that his Wife
had told him to bring home a Basket
of Gem Melons, because the Grocer did
not keep the kind she liked.
Hubby did not fancy the Notion of
playing PackPony on the Streets, but
he knew there would be catch-as-
catch-can Talking Match if he failed
to show up with those Melons, so he
turned reluctantly and allowed the Car
to go its Way.
He sought Delicatessen Store and
bought 5-pound basket of understood
-Canteloupes that looked as if they were
'Chapped. He started back to take the
next Car, when he ran plump into an
Old Friend from Memphis. They stood
and shook Hands for aewhile and
said: We'll, WELL" and wanted to know
how Tricks were. etc, and then the
Acquaintance from the South said it
was the Custom in his part of the
Country when two Gentlemen met af-
ter a long Separation to pour a small
Libation on the Altar of Friend
ship.
You will excuse me if l don't re-
fuse" said Hubby, and the two began
to look around for Place with Potted
Ferns in the Window and Cathedral
Glass in the Swinging Doors.
AS they laid their Breast-Bones
against the metallic Hand-Rail, Hubby
saw Vision of a Lady with Auburn
Hair. She was watching the Cars I'M
load at the Corner. There was what
you might term a Baleful Clean in her
Eye, and she was beginning to tap the
Floor with one Tootsie. Those
who understand the Matrimonial Code
now that when a Lady with Zaza Tres
ses begins to telegraph with one Foot,
then is the Time to climb Tree. Hubby
did not mention the Vision to his Friend
from Memphis. HE did not believe in
unloading his Troubles on an innocent
Third Party or admitting to any one
that he could be Scared by Weak
Woman weighing only 120.
The Man from Memphis ordered two

1t was very faithful imitation. They
acted just as Married as they could.
They wanted to lean against each other
and ask what Pidgy would do if little
Widgy were to die, and whose Caramel
is 90? But they cut out all the Wrest-
ling and the Baby Talk in order to
keep the Public in the Dark.
They got on swimmingly. He neg
lected her so persistently that every
one thought she must be his sister.
But finally an old Gentleman across the
Aisle leaned over and said he hoped
their path in life would be strewn with
Roses, provided they did not travel in
their Stocking Feet.
"How did you get Joseph to the Lay
Out?" asked Emma, who was provoked.
We thought we were too Cute for any
body"

had seen him lose about 200 francs
upon the numbers 81, 80, and SO when
very charming young woman, simp-
ly dressed and escorted by a youth
who looked as if he might be the BROTH
er of the player, approached the table
and addressed the object of my inter-
est. He had no seat, but was reach
ing over between two other gamesters
to lay down his bets.
At the sound of the woman's voice
he Strengthened up, Withholding his
money, and turned to speak to her.
Their conversation was surely no bust
ness OF mine, and | moved aside but
could not help hearing her beg him to
come away. She was not insistent, and
she yelled her anxiety beneath some
thin excuse of social duty that he
was neglecting; yet the essence of the
affair was obvious. l felt strong de-
sire to take the young man by the col
lar and march him out of the place,
but the etiquette of Monte Carlo for
bids such help from man to man. So
remained passive, while the croupier
announced the number 80.
The young woman, whom l rightly
Judged TO be the wife of the player
turned away, hiding considerable vex-
alton She had accomplished nothing
except that she had prevented her hus-
band from putting down his money al
a time when he would have won.
Though l felt that any gains he might
make would only bind him more secure

Monte Carlo was the scene Of this
little adventure. The season was early
June. The gardens were sweet with
thousand odors and silvery with moon
light. but in the casino there were glar-
ing lights and a heat that seemed TO
strike upon the top of ones head and
the scents that are bad counterfeits OF
flowers.
A young gentleman named Wilmot
whom / had met in Paris had dined
with me at the hotel and we had then
strclled across to the place where Wis
itors are expected to spend their money
in the purchase of nervous prostration.
/ had never visited this temple OF abb
surdity before, but Wilmot, who had
spent some years obroad. had been
there often-much oftener, in fact, than
any real friend of his would have wish
ed. On this occasion he lost about 20
louis without winning bee.
"Well, WE'LL" he cried. I'm not in
luck tonight Aren't you going to
play?"
I confessed that could see nothing
in the sport. had tried it elsewhere
and had found, as one who lacks the in
stinct always will. that gambling is the
most disappointing Of the polite vices.
All the seats at the table were occu
pied, but there was no great crowd
about. Two or three men were lodging
here and there to lay their bets, but we
had room to spare at the end Of the
board, where we remained awhile to
watch the faces of the players.
There was no great gains or losses.
was interested principally in two wo-
men who sat side by side, one of them
mildly successful, the other steadily
losing. 1t was amusing to observe that
the woman who lost was angry with
the woman who won, and not with the
croupier, who swept in her money nor
with herself for being so foolish as to
play.
Among those who lost was a young
gentleman with typical Yankee coun-
tenance and the tall, thin, strong fig
ure that matches with it. l sympa-

Man Stunned, Horse Killed.

Under date of the Sth the kittrell
correspondent of the NeWS and Oh
Serrer gives the following account OF
a miraculous escape from death by
lightning of Capt. Thomas Capehart,
4 we'll known citizen and business
man, Saturday night:
Capt. Thos Capehart, while returning
home Saturday night from his place OF
business in kittrel to his residence IN
the country, was struck by lightning.
The horse which he rode was instantly
killed and the Captain knocked insensible
for probably half hour, his face being
badly bruised from the fall. The horse
killed was a valuable saddle animal. The
bolt was the sole one that issued from
the cloud, aud was one OF the most
terrific ever heard here. With rending,
splitting. swapping roar it passed direct
" over Ike town and struck telephone
pole in its Western limits. The discharge
was so enormous that it struck down
horse and rider, thirty yards from the
| chief impact. The horse showed no trace
| of injury.

He was we'll read iii letters, and

convictions, to religious principles, to the
grand old Democratic party, and lived a
life so as to leave a fragrant and gra-
cious memory among the true and the
