The Two Alternatives

"We get some sad cases" said the at tendant at the lunatic asylum to the visitor, and opened the door the first cell.
 Inside was man sitting on stool and gazing vacantly at the wall.
 "Sad story" said the attendant; "he was in love with girl, but she married another man and he lost his reason from grief"
 They stole out softly, closing the door behind them, and proceeded to the next inmate. This cell was thickly padded, and the man within was stark, staring mad.
 "Who is this?" inquired the visitor.
 "This," repeated the attendant, "this is the other man."-Illust:ated Bits.
