were the marks of a mans fingers
clearly outlined in white.
In a flash it all came to her. Hugh
Cameron, who played Maltravers, was
the only person who left the stage.
He made his exit from the very win
dow out of which she had been look
ing. All of the other characters were
supposed to enter from the castle on
the opposite side of the stage.
1t was an easy matter to chalk the
legend while she was having her
scene with Miss Carleton. Then when
he fed from the consequence of his
murderous assault he could rub out
the chalk marks.
Only the black satin dress had
been on of his calculations. When
he had grappled with Lady Gwen
dolin, the chalk from his imperfectly
cleaned fingers had left their mark.
On the old white dress they had not
been noticeable.
All through the last act the Incl
dent kept running through her head.
She liked Cameron very much, bet
ter than anyone else in the company.
He had been so kind to her in many
little ways, so deferential, she could
not believe that he had sought to
Insult her. She could not even i'm
agine him doing such a thing even
for q joke He was not that sort
of a man.
1t hurt her to think that he had a
hand in this joke. Just as the curtain
fell at the close of the act she turned
to Cameron.
81 should like to speak to yoC
after you have changed she said EiL.N
ply.
He bowed. but it was with no easy
heart that he awaited her coming on
the dark stage.
She preached the subject directly.
'sMr- Cameron" she demanded, why
do you annoy me by chalking such
absurd sentiments underneath the
window in the second act?"
How did you know?" he countered.
You left chalk marks on Miss Car

explained. Now 1 want to know

the audience a pang of jealousy and
incidentally got her several newspaper

dow, wondering who her unknown ad-
mirer might be. Lady Gwendolin
gave her customary shrek and Annice

Tonight she supplemented her
stage horror with a cry more natural.
Lady Gwendolin fell with her face

Annice Wheatley strolled to the
window and gazed idly out This was
strictly in accordance with the in
structions conveyed in the little blue
covered book of typewriting which
read:
and 1 will explain it all to you
Gertrude walks to window r and
gazes idly out.)''
Considering that this was the 217th
time she had done this the view from
the window had lost somewhat OF its
novelty.
She knew exactly what she would
see there. At her right would be
huge electric calcium pouring Its
green rays upon her white Dress IL
had been decided that green would
be better than blue. The moon had
been green ever since the night when
the stage manager had arrived at this
decision.
There were also a couple of stage
braces holding up the scenery, and
sometimes a couple Of stage hands in
very dirty shirt sleeves lent ANNA
ton to the view.
Tonight the men were absent and
Annice was able to give her whole
attention to the floor, on which some
one had chalked 81 love you," in
clear print.
She wondered idly who might have
done this. Some stage hand, prob
ably considering it a good joke.
Surely no one would make such an
open confession and expect to be
taken seriously.
She was still wondering when she
heard the cue which was her signal
to turn with a cry of horror to per
ceive Lady Gwendolin PROSTATE upon
the floor, struck down by Hugh de
Maltravers, who in private life was
most unvillain-like villain
After that it was a busy time until
the fail of the curtain, when she had
to run for the dressing room for a
change for the third-act costume. She
gave the chalk marks no further
thought until the following evening.
There, again, were the eloquent
words, neatly chalked for her inspec-
ton She was the only one required
to use the window. She could not
suppose that the message was meant
for any one else.
Gradually the legend began to an
noy her. Every evening the same
words appeared, only to disappear be-

She complained to the stage mana
ger, but that official could offer no
practical suggestion. He was certain
it was none of the stage boys and
that was all the satisfaction she could
obtain.
The matter both annoyed and inter-
ested her. 1t takes but little to make
talk in a company, and she wisely
held her peace; but she kept a sharp
eye out in the hope of discovering the
offender.

When Grover Cleveland was elected

Youngster Escaped Thrashing and

Secretary of the Treasury Leslie
M. Shaw told this story the other day
apropos of a discussion as to the pro-
priety of extending clemency to vfo-
lators of the customs law who fur
nish evidence against their associ-
ates.
It was at a school in Mr.. Shaw's ma
tive state of Iowa, and one of the
boys in a class had committed some
grave infraction of discipline. The
teacher announced that he would
thrash the whole class if some one did
not tell him who had committed the
offense. All were silent, and he began
with the first boy and thrashed every
one in the class until finally he reach
ed the last one. Then he said:
"Now, If you will tell me who did
this, 1 won't thrash you"
'tA11 right, sir. I did it," was the
reply.-New York Times.

Must Be Natural Affinity.

A curious correlation between the
ages of husband and wife appears to
have been established in the course
of the recent investigation of the in
heritance of physical qualities by
Prof. Karl Pearson. Prof. Pearson's
results, published in Biometrika, may
be briefly summarized: These data
have shown that there is very def
mite correlation between the degrees
of longevity of husband and wife.
Things take place as if men destined
to live to old age, while short-lived
men generally marry shortlived wom-
en-. There has been an unconscious
selection from the point of view of
general vitality. This follows clearly
from the study of the age Of decease
of a great number of couples. taken
from graveyard inscriptions" The in
f1uence of grief upon the longevity of
the surviving partner is not taken

For the Hands.

Always rinse your hands in cold
water after having had them in water
which is more than blood warm. Dur
ing. cold or windy weather it is best
always to have some preparation
handy, that it may be applied when
ever the hands have been wet. Pow
dered starch is very healing to most
skins; it is easily applied, not at all
expensive, and does not prevent one
from going about ones housework,
even the cooking If the hands are
perfectly free from everything. Tie
a little in a thin rag and keep a box
near the wash basin. When the hands
begin to get sore, rub the starch well
in while they are still moist.

Better Than a Lawyer.

The facts were all against him. He

he did not.
