The Driver knew Him.

It is related of the late Bret Harte
that he was once travelling through a
mountainous region by coach. His seat
was next to the drivers, and it oc-
Cured to him to entertain that func-
tionary and incidentally his fellow
passengers by narrating series Of
hair raising episodes in the coaching
history Of the wild west.
With mischievous ingenuity he cal
culated each tale SO cleverly that its
bloodcurdling climax. was reached at
a particularly bad bit Of road, thus
forcing present peril to heighten the
effect Of imagined adventure. At first
the adventures were not imagined; they
were true stories, but the widening
eyes and breathless interest of his au-
dience was too great temptation, and
he soon began to improvise his own
fictitious hero, Yuba Bill, and other
wondrous whips of equal power were
pressed into service; Indians, land
slides, holdups, blizzards, broken
bridges, forest fires and runaways were
sprinkled in to taste, and the result
was a marvellous conglomerate of dime
novel, epic, racing annals and local his
tory.
Even the slowly stirred perceptions
of the touring Briton at length recog-
nized that this was no common story
teller, and when Mr.. Harte left the
coach speculation ran rife among those
who remained. The driver let them all
have their guess, and then, turning on
his perch to confront his load, he tri-
umphantly decided the matter:
"'E may think 'e's travelling hincog,
but e amt! I knows i'm, | do! e
don't look much like Is picture, but e
cawn't be nobody else. 'E's Buffalo
Bill, gentlemen, that's % e isl"

An old lady of his flock once called
upon DR.. Gill with grievance. The
doctors neckbands were too long for
her ideas Of ministerial humility, and
after a long harangue on the sin of
pride she intimated that she had
brought a pair of scissors with her
and would be pleased if her dear pas
tor would permit her to cut them down
to her notions Of propriety.
The doctor not only listened patient
ly, but handed over the offending white
bands to be operated upon. When she
had cut them to her satisfaction and
returned the bibs, it was the doctors 8
turn.
"Now," said he, "you must do me a
good turn Also"
Eyes, that will, doctor. What can
it beT
"Well, you have something about
you which is deal too long and which
causes me no end of trouble, and
should like to see it shorter"
Indeed, dear sir, will not hesitate.
What Is it? Here are the scissors.
Use them as you please"
"Come, them" said the sturdy divine,
"good sister, put out your tongue

Development only made MN the more
determined. He felt now that it was
losing game on his side, but he would
continue to play 1t to the end.
In four months Frazer shifted his
lodgings seven times. During the same
time he shot and wounded two men
who had sought to corner him. and he
arrested eight or ten suspicious char
acters. A man who had entered his
lodgings at midnight was almost killed
by blow from club, and another.
who was surprised In the act Of throw
ing bomb through the window, was
flung into the gutter and had his leg
broken. At his last shift Of lodgings
Frazer moved clear across London and
assumed the disguise Of tramp. For
q week he heard nothing from his foes,
but If they had dropped him he had
not done with them. He had subordi-
mates who were picking up threads for
him as he rested. One afternoon, as
he sat In a small park after having So
licited aims in his disguise, middle
aged man of the dress and bearing of
a clergyman turned in from the street
and sat down beside him. At first the
detective rose up In an excited way. as
If to flee; then he sat down and seemed
perfectly helpless. His face grew pale,
his eyes dilated, and, though he made
an effort to speak, his words stuck in
his throat.
All this was witnessed by two other
e,%v in, hn VII nrIPcorrfp1
who was wheeling a child up and
down the walk said that his lips were
blue and his chin quivering. She heard
the supposed clergyman address him
several times, but there was no an
swer. The sun was shining, the peo-
pie about him were laughing, and it
was a summers day, but the disguised
detective shook and shuddered. It
could only be said afterward that the
chill Of death was upon him and that
his nervous system had been suddenly
upset by the unexpected appearance Of
one of his foes.
By and by the clergyman went away
and left Frazer sitting there bolt up
right, his hands clasped and his eyes
staring into vacancy. 1t was ten min
utes before policeman came along
and had his attention attracted by the
pallor of the mans face. He laid his
hand on the tramp's shoulder and
asked him If he were Ill, and the body
toppled over sideways on the bench.
The disguised Frazer had been stab
bed to the heart by small dagger in
the hands Of the clergyman, and the
man who had been marked down had
been removed at last. What was called
"the park mystery" created good
deal Of talk and wonder, and it was
announced that the best talent Of Scot
land Yard had been put on the case.
No arrests were ever made, however.
and to this day 1t is a mystery to the
English public why the murder should
have been committed.

for the statement that one food is uni

had some difficulty in getting even

when nnnst,eia was a BOY.

When Mansfield Was Boy.
A somewhat noted singer who was
pupil of Mansfield's mother says that
she recognized the peculiar recitative
which the actor interpolated In the
balcony scene of "Cyrano" as some
thing that Dick, as she called him,
used to do years ago before he went
on the stage and was still a clerk at
Jordan, Marsh & Co.'S. Boston. HE
used to have kind of reception al
most every Saturday night" she said,
"and each of us would do some little
of the general entertaining, but the
evening almost always ended in i'm
promptu opera being given by Dick
and his mother She would sit down
at the piano and begin an aria, and he
would answer, each making up the
words to the music which madam i'm
provised. The idea was wonderfully
clever and showed clearly the genius
and poetical temperament Of Richard
Mansfield and his gifted mother"

The
Sympathetic
Woman

HE college graduate lifted her
eyes from the book she was
reading. "If you had to take
your choice. which would you
rather be-a clever or a beauti
full womanY she asked.
The blase girls answer was prompt
and showed she was indeed a true wo-
man. Neither" she said. Then after
pause she added. 'They don't teach
those things at college, but they ought
to-the thing which will avail you
most in this world is to be sympa
thetic woman"
The college girl looked disappointed
"Oh." she said. II thought that role
was the last resort of plain girl"
Doubtless the reason why so many
plain girls make good matches instead
of their prettier sisters. then," retorted
the blase girl dryly. But don't you
believe anything of the sort. The pre-
cious gift of being sympathetic is
worth more than pearls and diamonds.
OF course it must be to certain ex-
tent Unborn, but it can be cultivated,
and the woman who is clever does cul-
tivate 1t. Do you really know what II
means in this hard, selfish world to
find one other soul who will take the
time, not to speak of the trouble, to un-
derstand your heart, your mind, your
temperament, your ambiti0ns-all the
things, In word, which are vital to
your happiness, but which are next to
nothing to the others around you. be-
cause they do not go to make up their
existence2 You would appreciate this
If you had ever known great sorrow
and had gone about in your pain try
ing blindly to force sympathy where
you received only words. Don't you
see how precious sympathy is: how the
average human being would at times
give all he has to be sure OF it3"
AS she said this the blase girls eyes
became strangely softened, and for
once her nickname seemed misno-
mer.
'"They say" remarked the other.

sorrow all women become sympathetic.
II so. sorrow is gain"
"You know the quotation" retorted
her friend:
"Oh. the heart that cries out in It's long

And the heart that is rocked with its
doubt
Is the heart that soothes other hearts
longings
And brings hope to other hearts doubts.
"For most there Is only one knowledge,
The knowledge which comes through
self pain.
But 1t opens our eyes to all sorrow
And our arms to all weeping in vain.
The heart of the world Is the gamer:
The love OF the world is our gain.

gain. Lock at the women who have
