 But, honored sir replied the mild. simple and rather simpering young person, 'I do not ask you to subscribe for anything, unless. indeed, you gould honor me by taking ticket

 The miserable.looking creature must have fallen asleep as he sat by he mile stone on the edge of the road Culberson, in fact. did not see him until he uncoiled his slim figare and -ose like a spee;er above the low tangle of vine and bramble. The sound of Culberson's footsteps must have s artled him greatly. for as soon as he gained his feet he fell again upon his knees, his hands lifted in mute ap- peal.
 Scarcely more than half clad in shreds and patches, he looked the image of diversity The attire pro claimed the tramp, yet surely the meekest of the rowing fraternity. and the face-sun burnt. thickly bearded. full of dust and grime-had yet a
 cholarly cast. It was pinched and
 athetic, and the tears and the wofully iungry look proved irresistible to Gull 'erson, who put his hand in the back
 ocket where he carried his loose

 As though that hand had touched a
 bring somewhere in the tramp, he made most extraordinary movement "a movement that raised him at once in his observers esteem to the rank of an unrivaled mime
 It was movement of the head dancing backward. sidewise and for ward again-swiftly and eagerly, while the bcdy and limbs, meanwhile, re mained completely at rest Only the head moved, but that seemed to turn around 6 dozen times in as many sec onds, twirling like ball on we'll ciled socket.
 The performance would have aston ished it's beholder, even in side show, and on quiet country road it was more than astonishing. Culberson stepped back few paces and caught his breath. He had seen an owl

 But the motion of the mans head did not cease Culberson raised his cane and advanced with a threatening out:
 "Oh. I mean no harm. Don't you see l can't help il? l only ask your pity"
 Culberson paused
 "Is this really no ingenious stage trick?"
 Indeed, no, l assure you, sir. I am no buffoon-only the most luckless dog on all the byways of the world one who turks in solitude and lodges every passing shadow, and trembles as the leaves tremblei"
 The gentleman rested upon his cane and stared.
 Tell me, then" he said, in softer voice, what is it that stirs you so powerfully and so strangely"
 Tt is that worst of fears-the fear of being caught unawares-the fear of coming face to face with those have eluded for many year
 As he spoke he held his hands to the sides of his head, as though to otaoJv thot raC+iua ,,a an, l,a,.

 .Uron my word, young lady-of venerable dame" the lawyer cor rected with halting courtesy, this is a very extraordinary statement. Do you know that you render yourself liable to prosecution for obtaining money under false pretenses when you at tempt to sell tickets on such tale as that?'
 She smiled trustingly No, sir, did not know that Indeed, 1 am only beginning to learn the strange things of your wonderful century-but like them very much.

 What Is there to prevent you from doing so now?' asked Woodwork, touched and interested immeasu surably by his singular client.
 Because my master-for so must call him-Mr Shockton. who brought me from the other world, is determined to send me back. I fear that, from mercenary motives, he means to de ma,erialize me at his very next seance,"
 Woodwork hurrieely thought of all known legal processes. but neither habeas corpus, ne exeat. nor any other writ with which he was familiar seemed remedy against the peculiar form of extradition proposed by Shock ton

The Spring Opening which started at the Union Saw Mill company's store on last Saturday and continued up to Thursday of this week, has been a pronounced success, the millinery department having been crowded to the doors the first three days, and has elicit
 ed from the visiting ladies of Hut tig and outside points many fiatter- ing encomiums or paeans of praise upon the excellent judgment dis played by Miss Ripper in her se- lections of stock, there being many "or derful creations, but few dupli- sates and each hat possessing a distinctive individuality of it's own. making it seem as if the entire millinery stock of one of the large sity department stores had been transplanted to our own burg.
 While great many hats have already been sold, the management assures us that they still have a fine assortment, with new hats en- route and that the late corners need feel no alarm nor fear of losing their chosen places in the gay brilliant Easter Sunday parade, by reason of lack of suitable new .headgear, but it is advisable that they do not delay too long, if they would not be disappointed.

An EplstoIary Hint.

Tn the letter from Boston was a special delivery stamp.
 What did she send that for?" the woman wondered "The information she wants can be sent in an ordinary letter. It won't need to be sent spe- cial"
 That stamp" said the man, is a delicate hint to be quick about answer ing. It is hurryup device used by many men. It is very effective. A two cent stamp does not always spur one to any special effort, but a special delivery stamp means that the writer wants what he wants when he wants 1t. and the most dilatory correspond ent alive is not going to let any grass grow between the scratches of his pen when answering"

FREAK FISHES ARE MANY.
Very Curious Creatures, They Are, eut
 They Don't Live Long.

Freak fishes among the trouts seem to appear most commonly among those matched from the eggs of the brook trout. There are not so many among rainbow trout and they are seldom found among brown trout; though among hybrids formed by crossing the American brook trout with the Flu ropean brown trout are found a larger number of freaks than among trout all brown.
 The freak fishes matched out from brook trout eggs might number five to 1000 fishes. Among those appearing from batch of brook trout eggs matched out recently at the New York aquarium, there were fishes with two heads and one tail. and with two heads and two tails.
 These freaks do not long survive Commonly they die when they have absorbed their yolk sac at the expira- tion of a period of about 30 days. though they may live 60 or 90 days or even longer. If they live long enough to begin feeding for themselves after the absorption of the yolk sac then one of the heads of two-headed fish may do all the feeding or both heads may feed. and it may seem as if the curious creature was going to get on; but it doesn't last
 two-headed brook trout matched out at the Aquarium that had come to be about an inch and quarter in length lived four months and ten days. but that was considered remark. able.

Charm of the American Girl.

Here. girls, listen to what London Society says of you. The charm Gf the American girl lies in her beauty and social talents. She is an ideal partner to dance with, to take in to dinner or to sit out picnic With, and she usually makes an active and sue. cessful hostess. But when her hus- band discovers that she is never happy except when going to parties, Is bored in the country unless with housefull of guests. and is always craving to tear from one fashionable resort to an other-no rest, no peace--it is then that trouble comes in" Much London Society knows about it. eh? Granted you are an ideal dancer. a beauty and a charming dinner companion, did you ever "sit out picnic?" Pienlcs are believed to be obsolete, as far as the type of girl referred to here is con cerned.

Take a ticket,'' was Shockton s cordial response. thrusting out a card One dollar. please; 7:30 this evening. We are going to demater. alize the chit this very night, and if it doesn't come of. call me all the liars you like. Next"
 One moment. Mir Stockton, said Woodwork, severely. T understand you to say that you intend 10 dema terialize, which l suppose means to disembody-to cause to disappear"
 Into thin air-evaporate-v vamose!' answered the medium, in a business like tone.
 Cause to disappear person now living? That, my dear sir, is murder!'
 "Wrong!" replied Shockton. Who is this girl? where does she hail from? She has been dead 130 years. Cant Kill person twice. you know. What good is she. anyhow? She's way be hind the times-can't even sell a ticket to her own dematerialization.
 Then you are determined to dema- erialize the lady again?" demanded
 
 Sure; come and see for yourself. Take ticket, and one for your wife. .
 T shall certainly come-wiih the police. You insist on making this pre- posterous experiment."
 Fact. But tell you what I'll do You may take the young woman-lock her up-do anything you like with her. and I'll bet you cool hundred I'll de. materialize her all the same"
 Woodwork clutched at this propo- sition-he began to see way out The Psychical Research society was hasti- ly summoned in special session, and Amy Alright was introduced to Presi- dent Barker and the members. Her frankness and timidity convinced the most skeptical among them that she, at least, was innocent of collision with the medium. She appeared terribly to dread the threats of Shockton
 "Oh, gentlemen she pleaded, put me under ground; put me in some strong place. where it will be impos- ing spirit. Don't let me be demateri- alized againi'
 Provided with a lunch from the hotel, wrapped in napkins, she was smuggled into Barker's bank-it was dignified by that name in the village and locked into its roomy old brick vault, and committee signed an afi. davit to that effect.
 Then all the Psychical people at tended Shocktons seance. It was very long and very mysterious. For two hours the audience-they could not be called speetators-sat in dark ness listening to soft muse and wait ing for Amy Alright to appear
 At last there came gentle tapping. Ah. hal" exclaimed Shockton, "she seomes! Who goes there?"
 The spirit of Mistress Amy Alright, who died of the quinsy in 177O.'
 Are you in the flesh, or in the spirit?"
 "A spirit, alas! Oh, woe is mel"
 There you are. gentlemen." said Shockton, switching on the light Now produce your Amy, if you can. l The audience. led by the Psychica Research committee, trooped back t, Barker's bank. Heavens, The mal had won his bet-Amy had demateri alized after all
 So had the contents of the bank,
 The only material evidences remain ing of the guileless girl and her work were the crumbs of her luncheon, the napkins in which it had been wrapped and hotel table knife-snapped short on-which had served as screw. driver. The big. old-style locks, with their screws. lay on the floor.
