Farnsworth instead of putting it into
LamOine's room, but it never occurred
to her -susnect-a-similar error in the
matter of Miss Withington's note. Her
mind performed a few rapid operations.
In view of Lamoine's base perfidy she
did not wish to tell Farnsworth the
true facts. Perhaps it would be better
to let him fancy that the message was
really meant for himself.

Lets go to Tessa's," said Farms
worth.
He was feeling sore because Miss
Wilmington had broken an engagement
with him, as he supposed, thanks to
Jim, and he was glad to meet pretty
girl who would take the loneliness out
of him and restore his self esteem by
making the casual observer turn an
envious eye. The arrangement suited
Helena like a special providence, for
Farnsworth, the tenor, was eminently
a swell young man to look at. So they
strolled toward Tessa's, but upon the
way they stopped at a piano mans,
where Farnsworth made an elaborate
complaint about the instrument in his
studio.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
By Willis Emery

"A Ar ISIS HELENA SARGENT
AN possessed an artistic nature
which made it easy for her
to fall in love, but she had
had a rigid New England
bringing up," which made it painful
for her to reflect that she had fallen in
love with man whom she had known
only week.
She had come to the city to study art,
her heart full of ambitions and her ears
ringing with wholesome warnings, and
she had fallen in love when scarcely
across the frontier of Bohemia. She
had permitted Mr.. Charles Lamoine to
whisper tender words into her ear, and,
though she couldn't remember what
she herself had said, she felt sure that
it must have been weak and silly.
That was last evening, and now she
was actually going to this young mans
studio to face him in broad daylight.
She bIushed at the thought, but wild
horses couldn't have held her from
going.
The studio of Mr.. Lamoine was in the
Corot building, which, from it's name
and the color of the bricks in it's wall,
is generally known in Bohemia as the

Miss Sargent sat down by the desk
in the office and wrote upon one of her
cards: 81 understood that you were to
be in at this hour. 1t seems that have
made a mistake"
She had an impulse to underscore the
last word, so that he might know that
the mistake was not in the hour, but in
her permitting the gentleman to whis-
per tales of love ON the previous even

please put this in Mr.. Lamoine's
studio" she said, giving the card to
Jim.
The janitor took the card and thrust
it into side pocket of his jacket.
Then he started as if some one had
stuck q pin into him and began to nod
his head like restless horse. This is
a sign with Jim that he has remember
ed something, but Miss Sargent was
not aware of it, for she had been only a

AS matter of fact, he was going to

said Miss Sargent coldly.
Lamoine raised both his clinched
hands above his head.
'I'll break Jim's back" he cried.
"Often have 1 forgiven him, but this
time he dies. Now please take my key
and let yourself in''-
"But / thought other ladies were to

know you asked me alone"
"They may not have come yet" re-
piled Lamoine glibly. And, anyhow,
it doesn't make the slightest difference.
There's not reason on this earth why
you can't come to my studio"
And he proceeded to adduce the most
unanswerable arguments with such elo-

she stepped into the elevator. II met
Mr.. Lamoine upon the street"
1t was not the first time that Helena
had been in Lamoine's studio, but on
the previous occasions there had been
half a dozen people present, and she
had really not had a chance to look
around.
1t was an elegant and an interesting
apartment, but her inspection of it last
ed only about minute, for she found
herself standing by the writing table
and reading-without in the least mean
ing to do so-this, upon dainty card:

1t was the merest chance that she
should recognize the writing of Miss
Grace Wilmington, with whom she had
the slightest possible acquaintance, but
she had seen page of the young lady's

having seen Mr.. Lamoine go out about
five minutes ago.
Give Jim time enough, and he will al
ways remember. 1t may be an hour or
a week too late, but he never forgets.
That Is his boast upon those frequent
occasions when the Bohemians of the
Carrot berate him for getting them into
scrapes.

And he will finish the sentence with

Miss Sargent was surprised and griev-
ed to learn that Mr.. Lamoine had gone
out when he should have been expect
ing her and that he had left no word.
II understood" said she, that some
of his friends-both ladies and gentle
men, of course-were to be in his studio
at this hour"
Jim did not reply. There was far

This seemed like an
unreasonable request,
but she was not more
than fifty yards from
the building when she
heard her name called,
and, turning, she saw

for Mr.. Lamoine. There

'That man Farnsworth," said La
moline as he took his way toward Tes-
sa's, needs correction. He is getting
to be a pig"
When he reached the Bohemian res
taurant, he met Miss Wilmington at the
door. 1t happened that the young lady
had no money, circumstance of small
consequence in Bohemia when one is
invited to luncheon, but of pressing i'm
portance when the inviter fails to APP

"Come in and lunch with me-" cried
Lamoine, delighted al this meeting.
'I've got $40, and we can spend it all
If we want to-"
Miss Wilmington laughed, for the reg
ular luncheon costs 80 cents at Tessa's.
But she accepted the invitation with
avidity, hoping devoutly that Farms
worth would appear and find her in the
company of the handsome and elegant
Lamoine.
They had no sooner taken their seats
in the restaurant than Farnsworth and
Helena appeared. Here was the great

reader, that everybody's

him, for that was just what he had
done with the other. When Miss Sar-
gent had gone, faithful Jim ferried
himself up stairs in the elevator and
put the cards into the rooms. He put
Miss Sargent's card upon Mr. Farms
worth's piano and Miss Grace Withing-
tons card upon Mr.. Lamoine's writing
table. The reason that he got them
mixed up was because ne was Jim.
Miss Sargent walked away from the
Carrot feeling very much hurt. 1t was
evident that Mr.. Lamoine was trifier
one of those irresponsible creatures
that, the books say, make up the bulk
of Rohemia's population. This was

Why, then, d1d not oramatlccn-
this masterpiece of Jan max
itor Jim's peculiar genius suffice 10
separate forever two pairs of loving
hearts? Because in Bohemia every
thing is funny. To Helena the affair
was a tragedy. Heart and conscience
ached at the sight of Lamoine. She
would never have spoken to him again
nor to any of the others. She was on
the point of running away when, to her
amazement, they all burst out laugh
ing. Even the waiter laughed, though
he didn't know why.
"Come over here, you two! cried La
moline, and Farnsworth took Helena by
the arm and led her over. Then they
laughed some more, and presently Hell
ena found herself seated beside La
moline, lunching with him, the traitor.
For a few minutes she felt worse about
that than about letting him kiss her
hand on the previous evening, but she
couldn't be cross in such cheerful com.
pany.
Explanations began to fall in, and by
the time that Tessa served the fried
cat and the salad it was as clear as
clear can be that nobody had ever beer
false to anybody for one single instant
and that even Jim, the janitor, was 6
good fellow if one didn't expect toe
much of him.

Much Inconvenience.

Chicago, July 25.-The messenger

company which delivers on contract
the business of the Western Union
struck today. According to an Off

''What is an injunction? Is it the eX-

that has been recognized from very

administrative justice? l answer this
question by affirming that the ordinary
use of the writ of injunction is to pre-
vent wrongs and injuries to persons
and their property, or to reinstate the
rights of persons to their property
when they have been deprived of it. 1t
is the most efficient-if not the only
remedy TO stay irreparable injury and
to punish those who disobey the order

INDIANA MAN HUNT
Citizens After "A Negro Who Committed
Awful Crime.


Evansville. Ind. July pa man
hunt was started in Warrick county
Tuesday night, as the result of Ed
Gains, a negro, cutting the throat of
Union Tzschoppe. young farmer. Peo-
pie in the vicinity of Chandler and
Stevens station are much wrought up
over the cold-blooded attempt TO COM
NIT murder. and vengeance is demand
cd. The trouble started as Il result
of Tzschoppe objecting to Gains light
ing his pipe while sitting on n hay
stack. The negro deliberately threw n
burning match into the straw. The
farmer eXtinguished it and drove the
negro away with u pitchfork. Then
Gains attacked TZschoppe with his
razon.
The negro is believed to he hiding
in some wooded country near the scene
of his crime. and a number of farmers
are attempting to surround it. An ef-
fort viii he made to get bloodhounds.
Word of Gains crime has been sent
in all directions. and as he is with
out subsistence. it is bclived he will
be captured without much loss of time.
As far as known. the razor is the only
weapon carried by Gains. TZschoppc, it
is believed. will recover.
