KEPT SECRET TO HIMSELF.
Stockton Persistently Refused to An
swer Riddle he Had Propounded.


Stockton Persistently Refused to AM
swer Riddle He Had %Propounded.
One Of the most noted stories by
the late Frank r. Stockton, and I'M
doubtedly his best known work, was
his clever riddle-tale, "The Lady or
the Tiger" He keenly enjoyed the
furore created by this novel, but al
ways smilingly declined to answerthe
vexing question %propounded in its
closing chapter. This famous story
set everybody guessing. 1t was a
topic Of conversation when Mr.. Stock
ton met Rudyard Kiplingat a recep-
ton and informed the latter that he
contemplated going to India. 'T'm
glad to hear it," exclaimed Kipling,
enthusiastically. 81 know just what
we'll do with you over there when we
get you away from your friends and
family. Well lure you out into the
jungle and have you seized and bound
by our trusty wallahs. Well have
you turned on your back and get one
Of our biggest elephants to stand
over you with his foot poised above
your head. Then I'll say in my most
insinuating way: Come, now, Stock
ton, which was it, the lady or the
tiger?'" On one occasion Mr.. Stock
ton was the guest of honor at a din
ner given in Washington blythe wife
of a member Of President Harrison's
cabinet. During the meal the CONVEX
sation was vigorously kept away from
literary topics. Finally the dessert
was served. Two large plates of ice
cream were placed in front Of the
hostess. One Of orange water ice wa;
cast in a mold Of a tiger, the other
vanilla, in the form of a woman
Turning to the astonished novelist
the hostess, with a snow Eve got you
air, asked: (Which favor do you pre-.
fer, Mr.. Stockton. "a little Of both
if you please" he replied, imperturb
ably. And so the famous question
again remained unanswered.-Tro

sioa Of the works by order Of the king
ofSpain N the year 1892, owing 70 the
TACT that the emerald properties, Muzo
and Coscuez, included, produced a
loss and not profit tOthe kingdomOf
Spain.
This was due to the dishonesty Of
the captains of the mines, who, by
law, were obliged to deliver the fifth
part Of the production to the king Of
Spain in return for the assistance af-
forded to them by the royal house in
the form Of troops and ammunition
to protect them from hostile tribes.
1t was during this suspension that so
many mines were lost sight of and
completely oyergrown with tropical
vegetation, as were also the bride
paths which led to them through the
forest and mountains. Even towns
with 1000 inhabitants dependent
on the mines were abandoned; some
have been r~ediscoyered by accident,
a hunter coming upon a paved street,
or some stone foundations of a house.
The Spaniards always built their
houses with stone foundations.
Among these lost towns Muzo may
almost be counted. At one time ii
boosted of II churches and a large
population. To-day there is one
church and only about 800 people. Il
is interesting to note that, with one
or two exceptions only, all the mines
of any worth now being worked wert
known to the %Spaniards, and in The
majority of cases considerable work
ings are evident.

A M
Returned Part of Fare to Passenger
Who Had Missed Her Train.

Some doubt being prevalent in New
York as to whether cabmen have or
binary humanfe patrons
who are forced by pride or necessity,
now and then to call upon their sery-
ices, this incident is thought worthy
Of record: Last summer a young
woman, wearing deep mourning,
beckoned a downtown cabman to
take her to the Long Branch boat. It
was arranged that he would do it for
so cents. They arrived at the wharf
just after the g~ang-plank had been
pulled in. She may have pushed her
veil up with the hand which carried
her handkerchief; anyway, she made
some sign, this girl in the dress Of
grief, which seemed to betoken addi-
tional trouble. She handed a dollar
bill to the driver, and turned away.
He called to her: you've got some
change coming, miss and passed
down some silver. Presently, when
she looked at it, she found that he
had returned to her three silver quar-
ters.-N. Y. Post.
