excitement caused by the meeting
with the old friend he had not seen
for SO many years. At any rate.
whatever the cause, there was no
doubt as to the effect; for he found
1t impossible to sleep or 10 do any
thing but toss from side to side, as
hour after hour YEARLY wore itself
away. BY some peculiar action of the
brain, he also found himself compelled
to review all the past scenes Of his
life, and mentally, step by step, re
trace the path he had trodden during
those fifty years or so, which went
to make up the sum Of his existence
on this planet
At last in despair, he rose. and go
ing to the window, looked out upon
the night. II was very moonlight
nlght--too much so, in fact. There
was something almost weird and
CHASTITY in it's effect So he dropped
the blind with crash, and went back
to bed again. hoping that, this time,
he might be able to steep.
But II was the same thing over
again. Only this time his thoughts
concentrated themselves upon his
family and his home life. He remem-
bered. with a sense of remorse, that
he had been llttle-only little
irritable at breakfast that morning,
and that he had spoken rather sharply
when INTERCEPTED as to the purpose
OF his sudden expedition.
Certain of his friends sayings had
grated upon his ear, and caused
chill feeling OF dissatisfaction and re-
greet.
Thank Cod" he had said when he
heard of the deaths of those others,
cut off, more than one Of them, be
fore they had attained their proper
span.
Mr.. Burritt turned uneasily In his
bed as he reflected upon this, and re-
membered that he was the only one
left who knew all. The only one his
friend had to fear. To fearl Surely
that was not the right way to put Il?

he sneered, you are the immaculate
citizen-the man without a past!
What have you to do with such an one
as II" There was a bitter sarcasm
in his tone. a morbid jealousy in his
look. Mr.. Burritt refused to recognize
the presence of either.
But you will return with me, will
you not?" he said, you will let me in
troduce you TO them and make their
acquaintance? Take us on your way,
and spend at least one night under my
roof"

friend. "Ah, II they were all like

great excitement, "All dead?"
IAN but myself" was the answer.
Thank God for that!" burst from
the others lips. "Will you swear that
this is so-that they are indeed all
dead who are connected with the
past except yourselfY'
Mr.. Burritt bent his head in reply.
The strain of the interview was begin
ming to tell upon him, together with
the hurried journey, and he felt the
need OF repose.
Believe me. jim" he said, falling
back again into the old familiar style
of address, you have nothing to fear.
Your secret is safe enough with me-
never doubt IT," He spoke kindly.
even affectionately, but his fatigue
was evident, and his friend could not
but observe It.
"Silas," he said you are worn out.
We will continue the subject some
other time"
They turned TO leave the room to-
gether Mr. Burrintt passed out first;
his companion fingered behind him.
AS he did so his brief assumption Of
cheerfulness fell from him; his face
changed and darkened. and the whole
expression altered.
"All dead but one" he whispered TO
himself-"and that one" The sen

A Chess VILLAGE.

Near the Prussian town of Magde-
burg lies the little village of Strobeck,
which has earned for itself an inter
esting celebrity. The village contains
1900 inhabitants, who are one and all
chess players. They may be said to
learn the game in their cradles, for
among the first lessons taught to a
child by it's parents are the moves in
chess and the first playthings it re-
ceiyes are chessmen. The smallest
children are to be seen In their play
time sitting quietly together with a
chessboard before them gravely con.
sldering the moves and in the even
ing the old people meet to play their
fayorite game. AT stated times in the
year there are chess tournaments in
which both the grown-up people and
the children take part. prizes being
given to the victors Many people
come TO Strobeck during these com
petitions to watch the peasants at
their games The children even re-
ceive instruction in chess in the
schools.

A Collection Of Pens.

The Carnavalet Museum in Paris
contains a collection of pens which
while interesting from n connoisseurs

less attractive TO the historian.
Every time a sovereign visits the

sign his name in the visitors book.
and for this purpose a richly ora
mented pen is handed the royal visi-

For the intended visit of the king
