A WOATAN's WAY.

When Harry SHELDON appeared at
the village of Wolverhampton, on the
Seven River, England, one day in the
year 1862, he was twenty-four years
old and was on his vacation. being g.
salesman in a London cloth house. He
had no idea whatever of getting mar
ried. He was not in receipt of a salary
to enable him to support a wife, and
his disposition was cynical and rather
sour.
There lived in the village at the time
an old man named Saunders and his
daughter Anna. BY bad speculatfons
the old man had been reduced from
aff7uence to almost want. The girl had
been used to all that money could buy
at least to reasonable lin1it-and
she was vain, couceited and hot-head-
ed. She felt that the only way to re-
coup their fortunes was to make rich
marriage. How the report got abroad
that Sheldon was well-to-do no one
knew. How the report reached him
that Miss Saunders was rich, no one
could say. When the girl had heard
the report she began to plan; it was
the same with the young man. 1t
came about that they met and were
introduced, and then it was plot and
plan-each plotting to marry the other
and be financially benefited.
In a village like Wolverhampton 1t
would have been the easiest thing in
the world for q young ma nto have got
hold OF the whole story of the Saun-
ders, as they were known to everybody.
.The only wonder is that some gossip
did not make It his or her business to
carry him information. On the other
hand, while young SHELDON did not
make any boasts Of his wealth, he did
not deny, when he found the people
wrong in their ideas of him, that he
was a fairly rich man. The two
young people fell in love with each
other and soon after SkeldOn's return
to London they became engaged. After
three months he returned to the VII
lage and the twain were married. The
bridegroom had sufficient money G5f a
short bridal tour, and when this was
over the cat came out of the bag. They
had Rlayed the hypocrite and deceiver
( toward each otIaer. They had married
for cash, instead Of love, and Of course
there was row.
Tt 50 happened, however, that SlSel-
don's. employers wanted to establish a
branch of their business at WoIver-
hampton and he was selected to man.
age it. He rented a. modest house and
moved in, and for q few months the
couple made the best of things. Then
the woman's hlfghted ambitions made
a termagant Of her. Sheldon admit
ted in court later on0that there were
days and days when they did not speak
to each other. and that a look or a
word at any time would bring on a
quarrel He did not hesitate to say
that he hated his wife with all his
strength, and that he knew she re-
/ turned it with equal ardor.

One morning, after the newly mar
ried couple had been occupying the
house about nine months, SHELDON ar
rived home after having been out all
night. He had passed the night at~the
village inn, going to bed at 10 o'clock
and getting up at s. He admitted that
his absence from home was on ac-
count of a quarrel Ten minutes after
entering the house he issued forth and
spread the alarm that his wife was not
Within and that there were evidences
that she had been murdered. OF
course, there was instant excitement.
Among the numerous people admitted

lage the evening before and was sup
posed to be a government official of
some sort. What was found in and
around the house resulted in SkeIdoh's
arrest. In the family bedroom we're
evidences of a terrible struggle. There
was blood on the walls. There was
blood on an ak lying on the floor.
There was a lock of the Wffe's hair
that had been pulled out by the roots.
There was blood on the stairs and in
the hall and on the back doorstep. A
body had been dragged over the grass
and dirt to the river, a. distance of over
one hundred feet.
The police and others saw all these
things. but it was afterwards renem-
hered that the little stranger seemed
more interested than any one else. Mrs
Sheldon had been seen alive and wen

THE ELEVATOR BOY.
He Tells How Mr.. Jason Came to
Grief.

When Mr.. Jason, who gave out that
he was agent for a strawberry Jam
factory, came to our sIcy-scraper I had
a sort of feeling Of awe come over me
He was tail, and solemn and dignified
and it seemed to me that he must be a
minister who had got tired Of his job
and turned to jam to break the mo-
notony.
As in duty bound, I went up to the
ninth floor to call in Mr.. Jason soon
after he had got settled. I wanted him
to know that I was a fatherless eleva-
tor boy, who was humping himself to
pay off a gigantic mortgage on his
mothers cottage. He received me with
a sweet and beautiful smile. and asked
me to sit down, and then said;
Sammis. I trust that you never make
use of prOfane language p
Never, sir. The pFofanes6 LANGUAGE
