pressive face.
At the Grafton Galleries.
Some capital work by Mr.. Emil Fuchs is
being shown this week at the Grafton gal
leries. Mr.. Fuchs, who is an active mem
Der of the "Langham." designed the new
postage stamps. He is on good terms with
royalty, and 1t Is rumored that as a conse-
quence the academicians and other seekers
after subjects for portralture regard him
critically.
The exhibition includes sculpture, paint
lngs, drawings and medals. The original
designs for the postage stamps and for the
KING coronation medal are shown. Some
OF the paintings are excellent, notably two
portraits of Mrs. Maesmore Morris one in
evening dress and the other In a large pic
ture hat and velvet coat. Both in color and
drawing these two works, with one of Mrs.
Arthur Bunbury in garden hat and mus
lin robes, and a vivid study of Miss Sarah
Brooke. are among the best of the portraits.
The exhibition is well worth a visit. and
shows that Mr.. Fuchs is popular in society
and that he has a keen eye for color.

English critics agree that the part of the
hair dresser. gambler and dancing master,
as he Is in turn supposed to be, is ad-

his Impression is admirable.
Mr.. Waller has, unfortunately, little
chance to show his splendid Evolutionary
powers. and few lines fall to him, but he
has made the most of what has been given
him. and he is likely to receive the reward
of crowded houses for some time to come.

eddy for q few moments, took a step or
two away; but sprang back directly with
an exceeding bitter cry, and kissed the
rough, unpainted woodwork again and
again With rapid action, and then dashed
off TO the foot of the cliff and climbed
rapidly to the sheep track-the family
seen path that led toward Slapton Lea
and the old hall, where the captain still
stayed with his young wife, and then
Joined the west road which led to Ply
mouth.
She strobe on manfully for another
quarter of a mile, when all at once there
was stoppage, for another figure was
seen coming from the direction Of Tor
cross, and the moon shining full upon
the face showed plainly who it was.
There was no question of identity, for
that evening Captain James Armstrong
whose journey had been postponed-had
snubbed his young wife cruelty, quarrel
ed with his cousin Humphrey, who had
been there to dine, and then left the
house, determined to go down to Mary
Dell's solitary cottage.
Who's this? muttered the captain.
'Humph! sailor on the tramp to Ply
mouth. Well, he won't know me.
won't turn back"
de strobe on a dozen yards and then
stopped short, as the figure before him
had stopped a few moments before; and
then change came over the aspect of the
captain. His knees shook, his face turn
ed wet, and his throat grew dry.
1t was horrible; but there could be no
mistake.
Abel Dell"' he cried, hoarsely, as he
leaped at the idea that the brother had
returned in spirit, to save his sister from
all harm.
Out of my pathw rang forth in an
swer, the voice being loud, imperious and
fierce; and then, in tone of intense
hatred and suppressed passion, the enc
word-"Dogi''
As the last word rang out there was
whistling as Of a stick passing through
the air, tremendous thud, and the cap
tain fell headlong upon the rocky ground.
Then there was utter silence as the
young sailor placed one foot upon the
PROSTATE mans chest, stamped upon it
savagely, and strobe on right away over
the wild country bordering the sea.
The figure doomed up once in the moon
light, as the captain rose slowly upon one
elbow and gazed after it, to see that it
seemed to be of supernatural proportions,
and then he sank back again with a
groan.
Its a spirit" he said, "come back to
her." and then the poltroon tainted dead

sTRgeT ReFusg OF PARIS.


How 1t Is Collected and disposed Of
in the French Capital.
The problem of the disposal of
city's refuse has never yet been sat
isfactorily solved. 1t had been sup
posed that the system in vogue in Paris
was as nearly perfect as any that
could be devised, but the officials of
that municipality are lot satisfied with
results.
The project of the Seine has submit
ted to the Municipal Council new
and comprehensive scheme with re
spect to the disposal of household re-
fuse Since NJ. Poubelle. inventor of
dustbin bearing his name, reorganized
the collection of refuse from the houses
of the capital when he was at the pre-
lecture there has been little to COM
plain of respecting that part Of the
matter. The great question in Paris
now is what is to be done with the re-
fuse when collected, especially when it
requires an outlay of about 100000
francs Per annum.
According TO the new plan Paris
would be divided into four sections Of
five ACCOMPLISHMENTS each. and in each
section works for the disposal of the
refuse would be erected. The method
to be employed is that already adopt
ed by several cities with considerable
success, viz. Incarceration.
However, the refuse of only one ar
rondissement would be burned, that of
the other four being pulverized srd
transformed into artificial manure for
the important market gardening dis
tricts around Paris. There would also
be special station near the Halles for
the disposal of the large quantity of
refuse gathered In the markets daily
The cost of this scheme would be 20
100000 francs. and the annual outlay
for its maintenance 100000 francs.
which would mean a saving of about
100000 francs. as compared with the
present system. The great difficulty,
however, will be to put the 10000, 900
francs in the city's already oyerbur-
dened budget

down from the edge Of the forest, scores
of brilliantly scaled humming birds lit

in midair as they probed the hectares of

glanced at his fellow-convict and was
about to work back, when there came 8

made him stare wildly, and then the
sound arose again. Bart changed color

The hint was given because of the over
