His wife looked after the receding
form with an expression of slow won
Ger. For the first time in their mar
ried life he had not offered to kiss her
goodbye at parting! For moment
this show of Indifference stung her
into swift resentment. But il was
merely transient. All thought of the
tiresome husband vanished before the
image OF the man who threatened 10

That evening with Jack Wetherell

midnight when Disbrowe returned
from the Office, but she was keenly
alive to the sound Of his footstep. A

most appalling swept over her. What
would the future bring forth?
The week went by on golden wings
and Wetherell still fingered. The
book of sen;imentality, long closed be-

Enec, of Lawn on steel con.,ruction

Metallic CONSTRUCTION appears to
have had very low power of re-
siStance during the volcanic eruption
at 81. Pierre. Not only was it incapa-
BILE of withstanding the weight Of
the burning matter, but some chem
ical action is likely to have taken
place which transformed the par
ticlcs. One Of the cases mentioned
is the market of 81. Pierre. After
the cyclone of 1891 the authorities
decided To reconstruct IL in the most
solid manner. Cast iron was adopt
ed. IL is now impossible to find tho
slightest trace of construction
which had an area OF 1000 metcrs

When Disbrowe came home the FOL.
lowing night the house was in total
darkness. He entered with dull fore.
boding pressing like physical burden
against his heart. He sat down wear
lily TO rest, all capacity for thought
seeming to have gone from his over
charged brain. Presently he turned
absently 60 take up the evening paper.
As he did so his keen eye singled out
a folded shee, 90 note paper on the
reading table. There was no address;
he raised 1t slowly with hands that
shook beyond his control and read:
My Darling; l am compelled to be
away from home this evening, much to
my regret. Forgive what must have
seemed like neglect for the past few
days and believe me, always,
Your loving Vie let"
When he had finished reac ing the
note Disbrowe glanced hastily about
him; then with sudden impulse of un-
speakable joy he lifted the precious
bit of paper and held il fervsntly to
his lips. After all then he had been
but blind, unrensoning fool! He

Her own wrongdoing flashed before
her in vivid contrast To this mans

FOUR MATCHED HORSES.

they Were COIOred Black, Just as
the Dealer Had said.
Lord Mansfield, the famous lord chief
justice of England, had a bitter preju-
dice against horse dealers, which, it Is
said, had its rise in a bitter disappOint-
ment he had experienced at the hands
of one of them. When he was appoint
ed lord chief justice in 1856 he wished
to have four black horses without a
white hair for his carriage. After con-
siderable difficulty the four black
horses were found and approved, for
they were handsome horses and just
what the lord chief justice wanted.
The price, of course, was a heavy one;
it always is under such circumstances.
For time all went well and his lord
ship was we'll satisfied with his bar
gain. Then one horse began to develop
a white star and another a white fet-
lock and another was dis1gured by a
white blaze-indeed, in all of them in
one place or another the hated white
appeared.
The judge sent for the horse dealer
who had supplied the horses and
threatened him with all kinds of pains
and penalties. That worthy, however,
was not in the least put out by the
wrath of the noble lord. He insisted
that he had not misrepresented the
horses on his bill and pointed out on
that document bein5 produced that he
had sold to his lOrdship four horses
colored black. This of course did
away with any legal proceedings, but
the incident was never forgotten by
Lord Mansfield, who was scarcely ever
known to give a horse dealer the bene-
fit of the dOubt.-HOrseman

KIeptOman nin.

James G.. Herman says that in the
vast majority of cases kleptOmania is
morbid manifestation of neuroses and
psychoses rather than psychOsis by it
self In many cases of so called kleptO-
mania stealing is a manifestation Of
viciousness or feeble morality. The ma
jOrity of cases of both these forms oc-
cur in the department stores. Bargain
sales" are determining factors of theft.
Women who are neurasthenic, alcohol
ic, opium eaters, hysterical, climacteric
and senile, from so great a weakening
of the will, fall ready victims to Obses-
sions and morbid impulses. The 'col
lector" type of kleptOmaniac is as a
rule perfectly responsible. Book
snatching' is a besetting vice of bibliO-
maniacs, just as coin and stamp pur-
lOining attacks numismatists and phi
latelists Parisians think it smart to
steal sugar and matches from restau-
rants Not a few sane Americans think
it is equally smart to steal rides on
railroads.-Alienist and NeurolOgist.

The Meek and LowIy Editor.

When an editor makes a mistake in
his paper. all the world sees it and
calls him a liar. When a private citi-
zen makes a mistake, nobody knows it
except a few friends. and they come
around and ask the editor to keep it
out of the paper. When the private
citizen dies, the editor is asked to write
up all his good qualities and leave out
the bad. When the editor dies. the
private citizen will say, Now that old
liar will get his deserts. Cleveland

the minister forgot them. This was to
be expected. but he extOlled her so
highly that the poor bereaved husband,
sitting there listening. couldn't recog-
nize her by the description. Finally, in
