HAS cISTERN FOR HOME.
Where a San Francisco Man Has
Lived Since the "Recent I'm
pleasantness.

The spirit of the cave jewellers is
not dead. This is shown by the tenn
porary home of Maj. I. H. Tomlinson,
who has lived since the recent unpleas-
antness in a cistern at the corner of
Broadway and Jones street, San Fran
cisco.
The cistern is in the summit of a
hill on the Demarest estate and is
reached through a short tunnel. A
rough opening has been made in the
wall, and in this primitive doorway
the occupant may be seen smoking the
pipe of contentment, as Indifferent to
earthquakes as were his ancestors of
the stone age.
A cat shares the subterranean apart
ment and pictures from the magazines
have been pasted upon its walls. 1t
had been the intention of the owners
of the property to make a curio room
of the cistern. which is about ten feet
across, and its walls had been covered
with whitewash. The smoke of the
conflagration, however, converted this

She turned and came slowly back

Barker was standing, dazed and
open-mouthed.
He tried to click his heels together
and make one of those lightning de-
cisions which had won him so many
honorable mentions and so many
scars. But for once his clear brain
seemed clouded. He turned and
walked to the window He stood
looking out for long time. Then
he walked back to her. She had not
moved.
'Is it too late?" he asked, holding
out his arms
The color came to her face in
crimson flood and the tears welled to
her eyes as she swayed toward him
and he gathered her into his strong
embrace.
Pretty soon she looked up with a
roguish twinkle in her eye.
Are you not afraid you will miss
your train?" she asked.
He stopped to gather toll from the
red lips.
Il am not afraid of anything
he said.

Bishop cIark's Busy parishloner.

Since the death, few years ago,
of Bishop Clark of Rhode Island, an
amusing anecdote has been going the
rounds among his former friends.
While a young pastor. In charge of
a small parish in northern New Eng
land, Mr.. Clark was making calls one
day, and came to the house of wom-
an who believed in having a large
family. In fact, several times during
his passionate the clergyman had had
her babies presented for baptism, and
her thrift was well known in the
neighborhood.
The lady saw Mr.. Clark passing.
and called to him: "Oh. Mr.. Clark,
do come in; you haven't seen my last
baby yeti"

AS he bolted from the ferry and
hung himself into the cab. Lieutenant
Barker felt all the exhilaration of
heroism. He was just home from the
Philippines and his mind was burden
ed with a message from a dead COM
rade to his wife-and that wife Bark
er's old and lost sweetheart. His en-
tire being tingling with the memory
of his old passion for this dainty
creature who had thrown him to
marry his sturdy comrade. he knew
that his only safety lay in doing his
soldiers duty quickly and to dis
charge the mission with which the
dying man had charged him before
his strength failed.
His telegram had prepared the way
and he was admitted at once. Mrs.
he reached the parlor. She held out
her hand and threw back her head in
the manner so Characteristic of her
girlhood days that the young officer
was startled at the small change time
had made with her
Il am very glad to see you," she
said simply. And I am only sorry
that your visit must be so brief. Must
it be so?"
Yes" he replied. 81 must go to
Washington at once toto report.
am sorry, too, because would like
toto renew old acquaintance. l
came here first, even before l fulfilled
my duty to the government because
l was charged with a message from
my friend-your hpsband-a last
message given on his deathbed."
Yes" was all she said, and her
expression was so imperturbable that
the officer paused and glanced at her
keenly.
The lieutenant took packet of pa
pers from his breast pocket
George asked me to give these pa
pers to you," he said, "and as his friend
and-yours, l undertook the
commission. l was with him when he
died and-you know-this comradeship
is very close tie" He ended weakly
and wiped his face.
The woman displayed no emotion.
She looked straight into his eyes and
her glance was cold and clear

did he leave no verbal messenger"
Barker went white to his flnger-tips.
There was something else, but how
could he tell this splendid woman,
whom he loved better-aye, a thou
sand times better-than the man who
had married her. that her husband
died with the name of another woman
on his lips. The packet he well knew
contained only life insurance aud
other papers and some formal state
ments not calculated at all to salve
a bruised and bleeding heart.
And she had asked him for the
burning words which should have
come from her dying husbands lips,
but which had welled up for another
woman. He hated his old friend and
comrade as he looked into he clear
honest eyes he saw before him, and
he inwardly cursed the fate that made
him the bearer of the message to
this woman-this woman whom of
all the world he would shield and pro-
tect from harm-this woman who
should, by all the laws of nature. have
