The Hungarian patriot Kossuth

Then he turned to Matilda and led
her to sofa, and comforted her; and
the men-servants came and took away
the dead body and laid it, as Anthony
wished, on his old masters bed.
And in the great salon, now cleared
of its offending visitors, Cymlin sat
comforting Matilda and finally ques-
toned her in way that compelled
her to rely, in some measure, upon
him.

asked.

She laughed queerly.
But if it was not Stephen, who was
it?" he insisted, and he looked with
such steady, confident gaze into Ma
tilda's face that she crimsoned to her
finger-tips. She could not meet his
eyes, and she could not speak.

the silence between them was so SEN

fession was necessary. ..

You might have done so and you
know it."
After Anthony was buried, his will
was read. He left everything he pos
sessed to the Lady Matilda de Wick,
and no one offered word of dissent.
Sir Thomas seemed unusually de-
pressed and his lady asked him "if he
was in any way dissatisfied?"
NO" he answered at is the death

MALLALIEU AND THE SAILOR.
Seafaring Man Had the Good Bishop
Stumped.


Bishop Mallalieu, the distinguished
Methodist, is noted for the interest
that he takes in mems lives and pur.
suits. An indefatigable student and an
incorrigible questioner, he has an ex.
traordinary knowledge of many out-of.
the-way and unlikely things.
One day in Boston the bishop en-
tered into conversation with a sailor
on street corner. He asked the man
as is his wont questions about his life
how old he was, what pay he got,
whether he drank, and whether he was
married. Then, getting technical, he
questioned the sailor about his work
about sails and ropes and winds.
Finally he said:
Can you box the compass?"
Yes, sir" returned the sailor, and
he boxed it.
Now reverse it," said the bishop.
Smiling, the sailor reversed it.
Good, good" said Bishop Mallalieu,
and he was about to depart But the
sailor detained him and began to ask
questions in his turn. First they were
personal questions regarding the bish
ops age, salary and tastes; then they
became technical questions, regarding
the number of pages in the Bible, the
shortest verse, the longest verse, and
all those other things that to sailor
would seem necessary to a bishops
education. Mr.. Mallalieu, smiling, re-

never moved a fraction of an inch,

SHOULD HAVE CLIPPED WINGS
Wise and Profound Decision of Glas.
gov BaiIie.


A story Is told of Glasgow bailie
whose knowledge of natural history
was limited. One day, while on the
bench, the following case came before
him:
A man who had squirrel, on going
to the country for short time, left
the squirrel in charge of neighbor.
The neighbor, when attending to the
animal, accidentally left the door of it's
cage open, and, without being seen, it
made it's escape.
On his return the owner of the
squirrel was very angry at the man for
his carelessness, and brought an ac-
ton against him, demanding compen-
sation for the loss of his pet.
The bailie heard both parties, and
then gave the following as his deci.
sion. He said to the neighbor:
Noe doot We did wrang to open the
cage-door, but"-turning the pursuer
I'VE was wrang, tae, for We should
have clippit the beasts wings"
Its duadruped, your honor!" said
the man,

the cheers in New York.
Another blast from the trumpet, and
the matador threw away his pole, took
his cloak and sword, leased the bull
