And No Wonder.

A good story is told of a mailman
who was confined in a Scottish luna
tic asylum, and without particular in
trinity was an unshakable belief that
every day was Christmas day, and
that he was dining sumptuously on
turkey or roast beef and a good slice
of plum pudding. His real diet, how
ever, was of the plainest, he being
served twice daily with a dish of oat-
meal porridge. After daily describing
to his attendants the pleasures he had
tasted in his cut of turkey Or what
not, he as regularly added: "Yet,
somehow or other, everything that
eat tastes of porridge. "-London Tit

SERIES OF ACCIDENTS
Happened to a Young Woman When She
Took Her Walk

Took Her walk. -
This is an observant young mans
account of what happened to a young
woman as she walked for two blocks
down Charles street in front Of him
on Saturday: She dropped her pocket
book and scattered to the four winds
at least fifty cards and slips Of paper.
The extremely high heel on her shoe
turned and she walked on her ankle
for space. This happened four times
in the two blocks. The wind wrapped
the train of her gown around her and
nearly sent her headlong to the pave
ment. She tripped over her gown in
front. The breeze unfastened the end
of her veil and slapped her in the eye
with it. She ran into harmless and
highly UNDERSTANDABLE old gentleman
because she wore her hat so far over
her eyes that she couldn't see people
coming toward her. She lost her
handkerchief out Of her sleeve. Now,
this young woman, the observant man
declares, wasn't particularly awk-
ward; she was just a smartly dressed
girl in the year of grace 1900, taking
walk, presumably for her health, and
battling with some of the fashions Of
the old dame has sent upon US re-
Gently, and which are almost as bad
as plague Of flies. Indeed, the criti-
cal young man declares that it seems
to him women are much more ad-
vanced in thought than they are in
dress, and that it's pity club hasn't
been formed to hasten the exit Of high
heels and trains; but, then, he's a
mere man, and, therefore, not worth
any consideration on such subject

And then again. after the first
shock, temptation came to me. No
one knew Of the transaction; he had
not seen his son after leaving me. The
fraud would never be discovered If

no one knew what amount he was
worth. not even his wife. Margaret,
I robbed the dead. 1 kept that money;
l saved my reputation and my posi-
ton; and the widow and children had
the remainder Of the money which had
been committed to my charge. -
For ten years that sin has been
upon my conscience; but, as time
passed, restitution and confession be-
came more and more impossible. God
alone knows how fearful my qualms
have been, yet kept silence. I have
done nothing to atone. My God! L
have sold my soul for that miserable
twenty thousand! I am lost to all
eternity"
His voice sank, coming now only in
gasps, and a terrible greyness over
spread his face; his breathing became
fearfully labored, and every breath
he drew seemed almost to be the last.
Margaret, her own face pale and
set, looking hardly less deathly than
the dying man, bent over him and
once more held the Strengthening
liquid to his lips. But now it seemed
to have but little effect. Life had
ebbed too far to be brought back; it
was already almost merged in the
shoreless sea Of eternity.
But one thing Margaret must know;
one thing she must be sure of, ere the
eternal silence fell.
Father" she whispered-and no
one hearing that terrible, hollow whis-
per would have thought it came from
Margaret Crawford-"let me try to
make restitution, atonement. Only
tell me one thing-what is the name
of the son of whom you spoken"
The fast glazing eyes looked at her
as If uncomprehendingly for a mo-
ment; the dying man struggled for
breath.
"His name is-Paul Cleland. He
lives" Then the voice died away
into whisper, and there was no
more.
A long, long breath, then pause,
another, a choking sigh, and the sin
ming soul had passed over into the
presence of the Judge.
And Margaret Crawford, with no
tears, but face of white agony and.
despair, kneit by the dead.

I Margaret, do you think so little Of
my love as to imagine Lam not willing

Cleland, in a low voice. my darling,
If you know him to be innocent, so do

never heard the story of my past. My.
father was in business for many years.
1t is now about ten years since he died.,
and he died by his own hand
Margaret uttered an exclamation.
HE was in difficulties and foresaw
nothing but ruin before him. It was
fearful affair. 1t killed my mother;
she died soon after. I was left, the
eldest Of three boys. was just start

Of the Others. They are both off my
hands now; but sometimes it was a
hard struggle.
II am not rich man, Margaret, but

fuse now? l shall not handicap you,
Margaret; you can pursue your call
Jag after you come to me if you are
set upon it. I love you too much. /
respect you too much, to set any rel
strictions Upon you. Only promise to
love me, to be for me only-as will
be for you all the days that we both
shall live-and I shall be content"
Margaret stood silent, with droop-
ing head: but soft color had slowly
dawned in her cheeks. Her heart cried
out to her to yield. She loved Paul
Cleland-oh, surely never woman be-
fore had loved any man as she did
and all the womanhood in her longed
to cast itself on that strong protecting
tenderness of his, which would guard
her against all the world. To be his,
to have him as her own-it seemed to
Margaret no earthly happiness could
be greater than this.
AS he looked down at the downcast
face, and saw the soft color creeping
into it. Paul Cleland's heart beat high
with hope, and, bending down, he
whispered:
margaret, answer me only one
question, and shall be satisfied mean
time. Do you love me?"
It seemed to both as If the west
wind blew more softly, as if the birds
ceased singing, the leaves paused in
their rustic, until her answer came.
1t came at last, low murmur, hard
ly more than a breath-"Yes."
And then Margaret felt those strong,
loving arms about her, and her head
drawn down to that shelter that, it
seemed to her now-or, the pity OF It.!
was to be her resting place forever.
