teeth In q savage manner-no doubt
1t was a custom he had acquired In
Africa, but discretion must have been
picked up at the. same time, for he
did not lift hand to prevent their
egress.
Jones led the way to his boat.
The crew knew something strange
was taking place, but the captain gave
no orders, and they were feeling too
cOntented with the world to interfere.
So our friends successfully entered
the Corsican boatman's waiting craft,
and 1t Immediately started for the
shore.
Constance was very quiet while the
boat danced over the little star-lit
wavelets.
To conceal his real feelings, of
which q false modesty made him
ashamed, Merrick assumed q gayety
Of demeanor which rather puzzled the
girl, who would rather have seen him
serious, since then she might have
known he was wrestling with his
love.
Merrick and Jones saw Constance
to her hotel.
After all 1t was a queer freak of
fortune that placed me on board the
yacht just at the proper time to lend
assistance" said Merrick, seemingly
careless.
"A very fortunate bit of chance for
me-" she replied, sincerely.
For a minute neither spoke, and the
uncertainty grew apace like gathering
fog which could be dissipated by a
puff of wind, but no wind came.
Il shall see you again, Mark" at
length said the girl, kindly.
If you remain at Nice, we shall
meet. My friend is a Quixotic fellow
with hatred for games of chance,
and a radical remedy for curing the
great public of all desire to play. His
treatment is on the homeopathic style
Of like curing like. So he means to
enter at Monte Carlo, and by breaking
the bank repeatedly excite the widest
interest in his sytem. Then finally he
will make 1t public, so that once this
Is scattered broadcast 1t will never
pay men to open a gaming place
again."
Tell me about 1t, Mark; you have
already succeeded In arousing my
curiosity" she said.
So he began.
The story was interesting, and Mer-
rick had SO much to say he could not
cut it short.
All the while Little Miss Millions
stood there looking up into his face,
so absorbed In his narrative that she
even forgot to take her hand from his
arm.
why, 1t reads like a novel," de-
clared Constance, especially with the
three adventures that have befallen
you in my poor behalf"
Mark was tempted to say he hoped
it would also end like one, but the
words actually stuck in his throat
why, that would be just the same
as telling her he wanted her for his
wife, and with her millions, too.
Perish the thought.
And as he babe her good night he
squeezed her hand in a way that made
her heart beat like trip-hammer; but
no word was said.

Turned Farce Into TRAGEDY.

Arthur Sharply, a member of an
English theatrical company. stood in
the wings waiting for, his cue to enter
a farcical scene. Il think l will make
1t a tragedy" he remarked, and swal-
lowed some poison. Trouble in his
family made him wish to die, but a
physician compelled him to live, and
a magistrate put him under bonds not
to attempt suicide again.

Strong Drinks from Vegetables.

Some terribly potent liquors, it is
said. can be distilled from the inno-
cent-looking banana and also from
the milk Of the cocoanut. The jap
anese make a beverage from plum,
and from the flowers of the mother
wort and the peach. The Chinese
produce several qualities of spirit from
rice and peas, all of them intoxicating,
besides which they can make an al
coholic drink from mutton.

Enraqed the Commons.

Edmund Burke complained on one
occasion that he had been treated
with disrespect by the house OF lords,
having been kept waiting three hours
by that supercilious assembly when
he was acting as envoy Of the house
of commons. The members of that
body were so enraged that when bill
came from the lords the speaker threw
1t on the floor and crowd of men,
bers literally kicked 1t out.

Mrs Shoeck's dress caught on fire and in a few moments she was enveloped in flames. Her shrieks aroused her husband and two sdhs, who were sleeping up stairs. They rushed to her assistance and sue ceeded in extinguishing the flames, but not before Mrs Shoeck had been se- verely burned about face, hands and body. Medical assistance was sum- moned from Cheshire Mrs Schoeck gradually grew worse, however and at Il o'clock Saturday night she died. She had been unconscious since 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

LIBRARY WAS THRoNGED.
Many Visitors Called Yesterday to
 See the Art Exhibit


 The Bronson library was thronged yesterday by visitors as well as resi- dents of this city. The attraction was the art exhibit which was pro- cured by Mrs Minnie R. Steele. the we'll known artist. The exhibit has been opened to the public the past fe ' days, but not until yesterday did iI ap- pear to be appreciated. It was de- cidedly new feature in study-recrea- tion in this city and to Miss Sperry, the librarian, and the board of trus- tees and Mrs Steele the public owes the benefits derived from it. The number of visitors far exceeded the expectations of those interested in the exhibit, and the appreciation and GU. riosity shown indicated that there are far more people interested in art in Waterbury than was anticipated. Many of the pictures were beyond the understanding of the average lay visitor. This is only natural. But in general this failure to understand did not bewilder the spectator. Mrs Steele's night school class in drawing visited the exhibition and benefited greatly by it. Mrs Steele explaining to them many things which, on account of the limited facilities of the evening school, were beyond their reach. These more than any others in the city enjoyed the exhibition. The ex- hibition will remain open all this week every afternoon and evening and admission is free
