In order to keep these in shape so that they may be referred to con veniently. Mr. Archibald. who has charge of the room. places each in a separate file as. they arrive. These files are held together by shoestrings and he complains that frequently when he goes there in the morning to put on the days papers. he finds the strings gone and the order of the files disturbed.

Botanical Display at Worlds Fair Con. tains Specimens of Flora of Palestine.
 Flowers from the Holy Land will be one of the interesting features that may be seen in the biblical botanical department at the worlds fair The display will be novel. differing from the American florists exhibit, in that all specimens are pressed and dried.
 A curious thing about the fora of Palestine, says s. P. Forest who will charge of the display. is that while the wild flowers grow in great profusion, domestic flowers cannot be cultivated there. The flowers now are therefore just the same as they were 1900 years ago and are the same as these which our Savior saw.
 The blooming season in Palestine lasts only from January to May. and in that trying climate the delicate blos- sons wither and shrivel so quickly that the greatest expedition is neces- sary to press and dry them.

BRuNlcARDl HELD
He Had Previously Pleaded for Mercy
 Offering His Ancestors Honesty.

Anselmo Brunicardi, who was
 brought back from Trinidad, Colo. on
 a charge of having robbed A. Mag
 mani of the Redlight saloon of $700, | was given an examina ton before Jus tice Burnett yesterday and was held
 to the grand jury in the sum of $1,000. Brunicardi had been employed at the | saloon as porter. One morning while he was arranging things in the saloon
 he found bag containing the money and suddenly disappeared. He had
 not been gone long before he and the
 money were missed, but for some time
 no trace of him could be obtained. A day or two later it was learned that
 he had given a man at Tempe $60 to
 drive him to Nogales. It was subse- quently learned that he was at Fl
 Paso. Within a week he was found at
 Trinidad and arrested.
 | When he was brought back he de-
 nied that he had stolen the money. Day before yesterday he wrote a
 pleading letter to the proprietor of the
 Redlight practically admitting his guilt. He reminded him that they had
 known each other in Italy; that Mag
 nani had known his parents and had
 known of his ancestry. He had also | huONH that dll HIS PtOplt were HOIeSl
 and that he himself was the first who had ever made a slip. He suggested
 to MT. Magnani that he might some 1 time have a boy who would find him
 self in the same situation occupied by
 Brunicardi. And would he not want mercy shown him?
 | He also sent word to the man he had
 robbed saying that there was better
 way to settle this matter than to send
 him to the penitentiary. Brunioardi
 was sure that his father would help | him if he were made known of his | trouble. He therefore prayed that the
 case against him might be dismissed
 and he would enter into an undertak- ing to restore the money within a year. He would have his father stand good for him.
 There was no response to the letter or to the proposition and Brunicardi was brought into court when the time came for him to appear. He admitted i that he took the money but he said
 there was not $700 or anything near
 that sum. He did not really know how
 much there was in the bag. He had. never counted 1t, but he was quite sure that there could not have been more than $1S0 or $200. That, however, did not make any dlference so far as the criminal prosecution was concerned. l There was more than $50 and that | enough

Mr.. Carewe was already at the break

nance. hidden behind the Rouen Jour-
nal, was not vouchsafed to his daugh-
ter when she took her place opposite
him, nor did he see fit to return her
morning greeting. from which she gen
erously concluded that the burning OF
the two warehouses had meant a severe
loss to him.

gently. (She had not called him papa"
since the morning after her ball.)

over her while she read.
There were some grandiloquent head

large in Wills narrative as in his good
and Iovelorn heart. There was very
little concerning the fire in the Journal;
il was nearly all about Betty. That is
one of the misfortunes which pursue a
lady who allows an editor to fall in

As Will himself admitted, he had

One paragraph was composed of short
sentences, each beginning with the

word in a cracked falsettO. with the
evident intention Of nocking her, and
at the same time hideously contorted
his face into a grotesque idiocy Of ex-

looked but to the orator, as long as he
held that pose, which lasted until a
hard-ridden horse came galioping down
the street AS it dashed by, though the
rider looked neither to right nor left,
Miss Betty unconsciously made a few

drawing him closer to the hedge.

whispered: "You have been very kind

He looked at her keenly, and through
the dimness saw that her face was
shining with excitement. He did not
speak again, but. taking a step back

humble acouiescence, and made a
slight gesture of his hand for her to
leave him. She set her eyes upon his

but there she stopped and looked back.
He was standing where she had left

She waved him an uncertain farewell,
and ran into the garden, both palms
against her burning cheeks.
Night is the great necromancer, and
strange are the fabrics he weaves: he
laws queer spells; breathes so eerie an
intoxication through the dusk; he can
cast such glamours about voice! He
is the very king of fairyland.
Miss Betty began to walk rapidly up
and down the garden paths, her head
bent and her hands still pressed to her
cheeks; now and then an unconscious
exclamation burst from her, incoherent,
more like a gasp than word A long
time she paced the vigil with her stir

from the leaning flowers. Her lips
moved often, but only the confused, We

the garden, away from the trees. where
all was open to the sparkling firma-

head.
"Oh, strange teacher" she said aloud.

What do you want to lie like that for?

He choked upon the words; racking
cough shook him from head to foot;
he staggered back and dropped upon
her overturned chair. his arms beating
the table in front OF him, his head
jerking spasmodically backward and
forward as he gasped for breath.

Nelson evidently knew. He brought
brandy and water from the sideboard
with no stinting hand, and within ten
minutes Mr.. Carewe was in his accus-
toned seat, competent to finish his
breakfast. In solitude. however. he sat,
and no one guessed his thoughts.
For Miss Betty had fed to her own
room and had bolted the door. She lay
upon the bed, shuddering and shivering
with nausea and cold, though the day
was warm. Then, like hot pain in
her breast, came a homesickness for
