is not sane man. Sprague was not

again. when a knock sounded upon
the door,

''Miss Murdock?" he inquired, glanc-
ing in the direction of the young
girl.
'For me?" exclaimed Agnes, sur
prised.
eyes, miss; a gentleman left it
for you"
Agnes took the letter, inspected it
curiously for an instant; then, eX-
cusing herself, she tore open the en-
velope and unfolded the note which
it contained.
At once deep flush suffused her
face, and an expression of annoyance
passed over her features. She glanced
up hastily at Sprague, who was ap-
parently hard at work upon the back
ground of the picture.
The hall-boy was waiting expect
antly.
"There is no answer" said Agnes
quietly.
And as the stern mandates of fash
ion either forbid a woman to wear
a pocket, or else decree that it shall
be located in some particularly mac
cessible position, the young girl
dropped the letter and it's envelope
into her lap and resumed the pose.
When at last the time came for
Miss Murdock to leave, Sprague ac-
companied her to her carriage. After
watching it until it disappeared
around the corner, he returned mood
ily to the studio.
AS he entered the room, his eyes
fixed in a vacant stare upon the floor,
he caught sight of something white
"a sheet of paper-resting there. Me-
chanically he pushed it to one side
with his foot.
The sunshine seemed to have gone
with Agnes Murdock. A gloom had
fallen upon the place and its occu-
pant. The artist tried to work; but
he was restless and depressed. At
length he threw down his brushes;
and rising from the easel, he put on
his hat and coat and started out TO:
a walk, in the hope that exercise
would drive away the blue devils
whose grip he felt tightening upon
his heartstrings.
Meeting some friends in the course
persuaded to spend the rest of the
day in their company, and returned
to his bachelor quarters late in the
evening, tired enough physically to
obtain that healthful sleep which is

EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES.
Peabody Museum, Yale University
Receives Important Collection s
of Relics Found at Abydon.

Peabody museum has received from
london an important collection of
Egyptian antiquities presented to
Yale by the Connecticut members of
the American Archaeological associa-
tion. The relics were found in ex-
cavations made in Abydon, by the
Egyptian Exploration Fund associa-
tion, and have been on exhibition in
London.
In the collection are number of
rare specimens, among them orna-
ments of shell and green glass beads,
pendants of feldspar and pieces of
flint which date back to prehistoric
times. There are six finely preserved
scarabs of the eighteenth dynasty,
and a number of alabaster vases of
the Rameses period in very good
state of preservation. There is also
an inscription taken from a royal
tomb belonging to king of the first
dynasty.
In the tombs that were excavated
were found model tools, axes, hoes,
chisels, a headless statuetee, several
jars, two gold earrings and some gold
hair rings. A chair leg fitted with
ivory pegs also was obtained.
These specimens have all been
placed in the Peabody museum in a
room that will later be used exclusive
ly for Egyptian antiquities.

After an awkward interval he asked,
suddenly:

that our sittings are almost over?''
"Why. no, MIR. Sprague," replied Ag-
mes; 81 did not mean that. Of course
1 shall be glad when the portrait is

"But, indeed, Mr.. Sprague, I assure

"They have been the happiest hours
of my life," said Sprague, earnestly, in
a low voice, "and now they are nearly
gone-forever."
Agnes started slightly, blushed aud

hands which lay clasped together il

quickened undulations.
"Why forever, Mr.. Sprague?" she
asked, softly; "do you think of leav-

NO. he replied quickly; ''it is you
who are about to desert this studio
which for a short time has been
frightened by your presence"
"Well," interrupted Agnes, "since
YOU are not going to leave New York
[ hope you will continue to call on
u.s."
ST suppose 1 shall continue to call
on your reception days, if that is
what you mean," said Sprague, some
what disconsolately.
"Now that" laughed Agnes, sis not
in line with the polite things you have
been saying"
81 did not mean to say anything
rude, Miss Murdoch, but call on
your reception day is a call on your
guests. Surrounded as you are on
such occasions, one has barely a
chance to catch glimpse of you
much less to speak with you"
"We are always glad to see our
friends at other times than on ou1
reception days"
do you really mean it?" asked the
artist eagerly. "May I call on you
sometimes when the crowd is not
there?'
E'We shall be happy to have you
call at any time, Mr.. Sprague."
Sprague thought he detected a
slight emphasis on the pronoun.
But it is not we wish to call on

have you call at any time, Mr.

Mr.. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county,
Tex, has attained the great age of Ill years,
having been born in 1883. He is an ardent
friend to Peruna and speaks of it in the
following terms:
During my long life 1 have known a
great many remedies for coughs, colds, ca
tarrh and diarrhoea. I had always supposed
these affections to be different diseases, but
l have learned from DR.. Hartman's books
that these affections are the same and are
properly called catarrh.
"As for DR.. Hartman's remedy, Peruna,
L have found it to be the best, if not the
only reliable remedy for these affections.

Women Convicts in Austria

Austria is the one country in the
world which never puts a woman in
prison. Instead of giving the female
criminal so many months in jail she
is sent, no matter how terrible is her
record, to one or other of the con-
vents devoted for the purpose, and
there kept during the time for which
she is sentenced. The convent is not
a mere prison in disguise, for its
courtyard stands open all day long,
the only bar to egress being nun
who acts as FORTRESS, just as in other
conyents.-Buffalo Express.

PROTEST NEVER SIGNED.

WHO PUT UP EXPENSE MONEY!

Washington. June eat is now
we'll understood in Washington how
the signatures were secured to the

left for Washington without permits
sion of the agent, TO accompany his
uncle, Lone Wolf, on his expedition in
search of Il method of holding up the
opening He was promptly reported
to headquarters and discharged.
The Indians found themselves with
out the least authority on their arrival
here and Delos was sent back to the
reservation to secure authority to hire
a lawyer, or at least to bring suit. He
called on Agent Randlett to summon a
council RandIett complied, but less
than 100 Indians responded. Some
fifty sixty was the number who
appeared: but among them the chiefs
we're conspicuous by their absence
The agent informed the Indians that
they were at liberty to go ahead with
the protest, but they must sign the
memorial in his presence, to enable
him TO certify to the department under
his instructions that the signatures
were genuine. Not an Indian signed.
and the council adjourned for that
day, to meet again the next. The In
dams did not return, however, and the
agent was ignorant of what had taken
place until it was announced that $50,
the necessary three-fourths had signed
the memorial There is nothing
record to show that the names are not
forgeries and the delegation here has
no standing in law. What is pulling
the department officials is the question
who supplied the large delegation with
money to travel to Washington and the
fee wherewith to hire attorneys.
