A Crazy Mans Invention.

A famous New York alieniSt visited
an insane asylum. where one of the in
mates said to him: Il have invented
patent fly catcher. Greatest thing in the
world Here, I'll show you how it
works" The man took sheet of
paper and drew a birdcage. That"
he said, "is Il parrots cage-just a
common cage-but YOU observe that on
this side there is door with heavy
iron knob and that there is another
door on the other side, also with
heavy iron knob. Now, you see, you
take this parrots cage and put it on a
pedestal fourteen feet high, the pedes-
tai standing on marble slab. Then l
place ladder on this side, reaching
up to one door, and Il ladder on the
other side, leading to the other door.
This is how it works: The unsuspect-
ing fly comes along and climbs up the
ladder on this side. 1t opens the door
by means of the iron knob. WALKS
through the cage and opens the door
on the other side Then it starts down
the other ladder. That's where we
catch himw the inventor continued ex-
ctedly. '"That's where the invention
is. That's where shall get my money.
You see, the fourth rung is missing in
this second ladder, but the fly doesn't
know It, and he falls on the marble
slab and breaks his neck"

By HON0RE WILLSIE.
Copyright. 1896, by May McKeon.

On Sunday afternoon Dick strOlled
across the meadows beyond the town.
He had grown to love the swelling
slope that stretched up from the river
to the mining sheds. For the first time
he was beginning TO think that his
fathers taunt at the leader Of cOtil-
Ions" was to be productive of good;
that, combined with Alice Upham's Ie-
tusal, the taunt had forced him to see
life with broader view.
1t was the mines that had worked
the change, the mines and Marian!
Considering that she was miners or
phan, Richard Houston gave a large
amount of his thought to Marian. Con

was having bad lupses of the Houston
pride Still, as Dick said to himself,
there was not much danger of a mans
making fool of himself over girl IF
sixteen.
On this particular Sunday, after a
week when the miners pick had been
particularly distasteful to him. Dick
had asked Marian to walk with him.
At first she had hesitated: then sac
had refused, looking up into his face
with u little smile that, even though
she was only child, lie had come to
watch and work fora smile that curl
ed delicate. deep red lips back over
perfect teeth, smile that lightened
up the wistful little face to dazzling
loveliness. AS she slipped from the
room Dick watched the 1.-the figure and

the sentence remained unfinished as
he filled his pipe and started on his
solitary tramp. He walked for hours,

and it was late twilight when he again
crossed the meadows near the mines.
1t was a lonely spot, 50 Dick was sur
prised as he heard voice:
"Oh, Mr.. Houston"
"Yes, Marian"
"Oh, am so glad! Mrs. Lisbon and
have been worrying about you"
Then, walking beside him with dis
tractingly contiding air: Ever since
you and Jim Lisbon took such stand
down at the end of the village have
been making threats. Mrs Lisbon
went to find Jim, and got to worry
ing and came out to find you"
STEADY, now, steady" said Dick to
himself Remember that she is moth
ing but a miners little girl" Then
aloud: "Well, now, that is mighty good
Of you, but there isn't bit of danger.
I-great heavensw
They We're enveloped in an unbreath-
able cloud of dust There was a dull,
mutfled rumble, little scream from
Marian, then silence.
''Marian!' called Dick as he strug-
gled to rise. Marian rose to her knees,
struggling and gasping for breath.
THE ground caved into a gallery. l
have heard of it often"
"Are you hurt?" asked Dick.
"I-I think not"
Dick was now on his feet and pulled
the girl up beside him. Then he took
out his match safe and scratched three
or four matches in rapid succession.
They were in pit formed by the
sinking Of the meadow into Il mining
level that had run too close to the sur
face. The pit was but half dozen
feet wide, but it was many times that
to the field above. Dick dropped the
match he held. Il won't light any
more for awhile. We may need them
later"
Lets CALL" said Marian.
Dick gave few lusty shouts, but
silence seemed deeper than ever as he
paused. A small hand crept into his,
and his fingers closed warmly about it.
II think am frightened" half whs-
pered Marian.
He chafed the slender fingers. It's
useless to try to climb this soft clay"
A mass Of debris slid to their feet.
"We've got to get out of this. He
scratched match, then gave a quick
exclamation. Marian, there Is level
opening" He paused. Through both
their minds flashed picture of the
dangers that would attend any at
tempt to escape through the mine. Yet
they knew that each moment in the
pit might mean death. Then a quick
plunge and they were in the darkness
Of the mine. They felt their way in ST.
lence for several minutes, then:
"Are you frightened, Marian?" asked
Dick.
YES" said Marian, "but that does
not matter"
A new tone In the soft voice puzzled
Dick. 1t was as if woman and not a
Ehild had spoken. New thoughts were
crossing Dick Houston's mind. If this
little girl were five years older, If she
were educated, II she were not min

posed are some of them unique, some Of
