Surprise For tho Hrideqroom.

The groom entered alone and said confidentially:
 "Do you use the word obey in your marriage service, Mr.
 ''No," said the minister; 'T do not usually"
 "Well," said the expectant Benedict, T have come to ask you to marry me now, and I want it used"
 Certainly" replied the other. "It shall be done" And presently the couple stood solemnly before him.
 James IT," said the clergyman, "do you take this woman to be your we'd ded wife?"
 "I do."
 Do you absolutely promise to love, honor and obey her so long as you both shall liver" ..-...
 Horror and rebellion struggled with the sanctities of the occasion on the brfdegroom's face, but he chokingly responded, "1 do," and the meek bride decorously promised in turn.
 After the ceremony was over the bridegroom said excitedly aside to the grave minister:
 "You misunderstood me, sir; you mis- understood me! referred to the wom- ans promising to obey"
 "Ah, did you, indeed?" serenely an- swered his reverence. "But I think what is good for one side Is good for the other, don't you? And, my friend, 1t is my advice to you to say nothing about 1t, for as an old married man l can tell you you'll have to obey any how."-Tit-B

be good for fifty apiece the way he's rigged out. An you want to weaken"
 A thin, querulous cry sounded from the depths or the car. The second tramp stuck his head into the door and growled a ferocious threat.
 'T won't stand for it." protested the other. "It's plain kidnapin'."
 Huh! We only takes him up the line hundred miles or so. This train pulls out at II. It's Q cinch."
 ''Stay with it, then, if you want to. 1 ain't takfn' no chances with a dead kid"
 The speaker dived under the rods and disappeared. His companion swore, looked into the car and hesitated. A sight of the officers on the bridge de- cided him, and he followed the other.
 Again the cry sounded faintly from the interior. Pete hung motionless, his hand still clutching the rung of the ladder. The sound haunted him. Pos- sibly something in the helplessness of the child dimly suggested an analogy with his own situation
 He descended the ladder and swung himself lightly into the car. It was pitch dark there, and the air was like an oven. He heard painting, futterinR respiration and struck a match, mask Ing the flame with his hands.
 Bred in the tenements, he had seen enough of heat prostration to recog- nize the symptoms which precede the final collapse. A moment later he leaped down, bearing a little boy across his left arm. The child had been subjected to the terrible heat of the closed car perhaps for hours. Ter ritied into silence at first by the threats of his captors and then after little incapable of effective outcry, only this chance stood between him and death.
 Pete laid him upon the road bal last and stood at bay. Between the two loomed the prison. Let the boy die. It was every one for himself Did any one ever help him Pete) when his back was at the wall?
 A great gush of flame from a tall chimney beyond the yards threw a blood red reflection upon the upturned face of the gasping child. The man drew his hands across his eyes. In that moment from the depths of his being the soul of his ancestors enjoin- ed upon him that atonement which was the law of their forgotten sept. He lifted the boy across his shoulder, drew himself over the fence with his free arm and presently stood under the lights of the street outside the yards. From the bridge two officers ran toward him.
 Look out or you'll hurt the boy" he growled as they closed upon him. "I ain't goin' to make no fight"
 Two hours later the cell occupied by the prisoner was unlocked.
 You're bailed," said the policeman.
 "By whoT incredulously queried Pete. ....
 "The superintendent, MT. Wheatley. That was his kid you brought out of the yards. He was near wild. Say, you're all right"
 Then he stood back to make room for some one behind him. 1t was Norah, blushing and sobbing.

Her Word or Two.

A Manchester man, whose wife was going abroad, asked her to telegraph him a word or two letting him know of her safe arrival in London.
 In a few hours he received the fol. lowing message:
 Dear George-Arrived here safely at fifteen minutes after G. The train was due at 6, but we were delayed fifteen minutes while en route. Had a perfectly lovely journey. Do not worry about me. I will get along all right. And take good care of yourself. Be very careful about taking cold this weather.

Write every day. am sure shall have lovely time. So good of you to let me go. You must come over after me soon. For ever and ever and ever yours, Mamie"

POISONED GLOVES.
They Had Their Home ln Italy With

They Had Their Home In italy With
 the 6orgias and Medicis.
 Perfumed gloves have contributed largely to the bright and cruel side of romance, of fact and of fiction. They had their home in Italy, the home of the Borgias and De- Medicis, and it Is said, with how much truth will never be known, that many an untimely death was caused by wearing perfum- ed gloves whose scented palms con cealed a deadly poison. It seems to have been a favorite pastime of the notorious Alexander VI. and of his more notorious son, Caesar Borgfa, to invite 8. friend to dine. show him every attention as a guest, present him with a beautiful pair of perfumed and poi soned gloves and next day send flowers to his funeral, accompanied by little note. polite. but firm, requesting the immediate transference of all the prop erty of the deceased to the cOffers of the Borgias.
 There is an interesting and very ugly story of a famous poisOner of the flf- teenth cWntury who confessed under the water cure to having murdered for a consideration about fifteen people by means of poisoned gloves. The poison she employed was so slow in taking effect that for years she remained un- discovered and finally came to grief through her own foolish boasting.- Kansas City Star
