Then James proceeded with great
caution, lest he be discovered, to pack
up his private belongings. He would
not risk his life any longer with a
maniac. In the midst of the packing,
however, Van Tasel walked in on him.
James," he demanded, what the
deuce have you done with my pistol?
BY what authority did you"
He stopped short, on seeing his
Wallets satchels and bags spread about
What does this mean?" he demand
ed. Are you going away?"
James, quite terror-stricken, stood
up, white as death.
"Yesr,' he managed to say, my
uncle-aunt-I mean my father, sir,
'e's sent for me- sir, in a Jury
Van Tasel gazed at the shrinking
valet. Then he sat down at a table,
his features relaxing.
Don't lie to me, James," he said.
You think 1 am crazy, and you're
going to get out before l murder you?'
James was almost gibbering with
terror.
Now, see here" said Van Tasel;
Just unpack your grips. I'm neither
crazy nor murderous Since you force
me to it, l shall confess to you, sir.
l am in love-you know what that is,
James, and you know how it makes a
fellow feel, though all men don't show
it alike. I'll get over the crisis pretty
soon, and then-James, how would you
like to be a valet to a king?"
James stared blankly, though partly
reassured. He could sympathize with
the love illness, though he hadn't
smashed any mirrors himself.
I'm perfectly sane" Van Tasel
went on, 80 compose yourself. I may
want you to help me, in some way or
another I MIGHT a Wp11 take
into my confidence now. l am gong
to marry a princess-not an English
princess, as you might prefer, James,
but one just as high and naughty and
beautiful as any you can brag about
over in England. The princess, some
day will be queen-see? Then, of
course, I'll be the king, and you'll be
the kings valet"
James thought it all a joke, but

He looked at his hand. 1t was COW
cred with blood from the broken glass.
The next moment he wiped the perspri-
ration from his brow with it, leaving
him in a truly sanguinary condition.
However, he had Worsted the king, and
he turned toward the door
"Ah! my princess" he said, bowling,
you have come at last. You are most
opportune, for l have just killed his
majesty. Come in, sweet flower, come
in, and see what l have done for you.
You are mine now, Lucretia, all mine.

dear, and you are mine forever! To-
morrow we shall let New York know
who and what you are. Come, Lu-

This little tragedy was moth
ing especially new for Van Tasel had
been wont for week to let imagina-
tion have it's rein. In the seclusion
of his apartments, he found play-act-
ing a relief. 1t eased the tension.
For James, however, there was no
humor in it. He had reached the limit
of endurance, and when he heard the
crash he came running in, pale with
terror.
"Are you ill, sir?' he gasped, LAS
any lIllHS uTl you, Sll
Get out!" yelled Van Tasel, saw
agely. when 1 want you 1 shall
ring"
James went out sadly. In his own
quarters he stood for some minutes in
mute contemplation of his masters de-
plOrable state. 1t was days now since
Van Tasel had shown unmistakable
signse of lunacy. James could bear
it no longer.
It'll not be long now," the unhappy
valet soliloquized, 'before they'll be
taking i'm away. never seen i'm quite

ELEPHANTS AS NURSES

Elephants sometimes attach them
selves to children, and make most care
full nurses, says the Bombay Gazette.
An elephant has been known to watch
over a baby when asleep in its cradle,
and to drive off the flies with his trunk.
Il have myself" says gentleman who
lived many years in India. "seen the
wife of an elephant driver give a baby
in charge of an elephant while she went
on some business. The child would
crawl about, and sometimes get be-
tween the legs of the animal, and
sometimes among the branches on
which he was feeding. No nurse could
show greater tenderness and care than
he. If the child crawled to a spot which
he could only just reach with his trunk
Cfor he was chained by the leg) he
would at the right moment stretch out
his trunk and lift it back as gently as

only If Lucretia could not take me for
myself, l could not consent to be foisted
on LuXembrant as a reward"
There were yet several hours left of
the night, and on Fosdick's advice Van
Tasel agreed, reluctantly, to snatch a
little sleep.
But, once in his room, Van Tase
might as well have tried to fly. Instead
of sleeping, he paced the floor.
Perhaps Fosdick is right, after ALL"
he soliloquized, stopping suddenly be-
fore a full-length mirror and surveying
himself. Perhaps L AM going mad
over that girl. l swear look it! l look
like a ghost of Van Tasel-hollow-eye
haggard and gastly And | haven't
a doubt that l rave like lunatic. It's
no wonder folks begin to think me mad
There's James, for instance-poor cot

haven't doubt, at this very moment
He won't stand it much longer. If l
don't have a care he'll be taking French
leave. No valet wants a maniac for a
master. I'll have to be quieter and not

myself like a sane man.
However, Van Tasel had forgotten
this resolution the next minute. The

consuming jealousy beset him.
''Vow or no vow, she shall be MINE!"
he cried, shaking his fist under his own
nose in the glass.
The figure in the mirror shook its fist
at Van Tasel, very close to his face
and Van Tasel, in rage, struck at the
insolent fellow and smashed the glass
to bits.
"Blackguard!" he shouted, "I swear
by all that is best in the world that

after a time he decided to stay in Van
Tasers employ, and his confidence was
restored to such an extent that he
uncovered the pistol he had hidden for
fear Van Tasel would use it on him.
Van Tasel's little confidence with his
valet Gained his mind, and he went to
bed. He dreamed he was king of Lux

WHAT HE WOULD DO

A professor at a well known engineer
ing college says that but for occa-
sional innovations in the application of
learning, such as the following, he
would find it hard to judge the extent
of his usefulness, says Everybodys
Magazine.
This question was asked upon an eX
animation paper what steps would
you take in determining the height Of
building, using an aneroid barome-
ter?"
The answer was: II would lower the
barometer by string and measure the

A Fowl That Won a Battle,

A singular story is told OF a gallant
cock whose moral influence at crit
ical moment during the battle Of st.
Vincent helped to save British man
of-war from the hands Of the enemy.
The fowl in question formed part OF
the live stock of the Marlborough, a
vessel which had suffered so severely
that her captain was considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of striking his flag. The
ship was entirely dismasted. while the
chief officers had been carried below
severely wounded. and the crew. with
out anybody to cheer them up. were
beginning to grow sullen under the
heavy fire of the enemy, to which they
were hardly able to respond. At this
emergency a shot struck the coop in
which the fowls were confined. The
only surviving occupant, cock, find
ing himself at liberty. futtered up
and perched himself on the stump OF
the mainmast and surveyed the scene
of carnage around him. Then, tapping
his wings in defiance. he began to crow
vociferously. He was answered by
three hearty and exhilarating cheers
from the crew, who all had a good
laugh and, with spirits thus renewed,
continued the action with a vigor that
lasted until a turn in the battle res.

Fearful Iorture,.

Some years ago was q teacher In
Afghanistan, and during my stay in
that country was often an unwilling
witness of some horrible exhibitions
of torture. Here is one they use in the
case of women to extract testimony.
1t consists in prying off the finger
nails by means of small chisel or
brad awl, which is showed in slowly.
but firmly, from the finger tip down
ward under the quick Of the nail, which
is then lifted up and out.
This is another that l once saw used
in the case of small child who would
not own up to some petty theft: Sticks
were thrust between its fingers and
the fingers then squeezed together, SO
that the sticks crushed into the bones.
So much for women and children.
Here Is method Of eliciting informa.
ton from an unwilling man: The cul-
prit is stripped to the waist, and then
boiling oil is 6icked on to his back.
This seldom fails to find the mans
tongue.
The above are the chief forms OF
''fahana," or torture, for the purpose
Of eliciting information, but it must
be stated that such infections as nip
ping of noses, tearing out tongues or
splitting eyeballs do not come under
the heading Of "fahana," they being
punishments rather than tortures.-

puehesse and Anarchist.

Upon one occasion the Duchesse
Dues and Louise Michel met at the

they were mutually aiding. They met
here frequently for brief period. The

present at the death, wrote to the
duchesse: "Madame-Our poor friend is

The Ho1v Grail,

From book reviewed a passage is
quoted In which mention is made of
"the holy grail, the sang-real or true
blood Of Cod" This used to be COM
mon mistake, and so learned a man
as Thomas Warrior in his Remarks
on Sponsors limitations From Old Ro-
mances'' writes, t'The holy grale, that
is the real blood Of our Blessed
Saviour" But this is wrong. It is
the holy grale, or vessel, and does not
mean real blood, though it contained
the real blood, collected by Joseph Of
Arimathea. It was made from dia-
mond and emerald which fell from tie
crown Of Satan when he fought with
Michael. M. de Villemarque, who has
written about Armoric legends, says
that this jewel was diamond. The
word greal is old French, as I under
stand, for have no knowledge my
self that it is so. In the legend Of
Percival it IS shown that the grail is
vessel. The holy graily Percival
heard whispered by one voice after
another Then from the shining ves>
sci streamed an endless supply Of tbs
costliest dishes and wines" London

The Power of the Whale.

If the whale knew its own power, it
could easily destroy all the machinery
which the art Of man could devise for
catching him. 1t would only be neces-
sary for him to swim on the surface in
a straight line in order to break the
thickest rope, but instead, on being
struck by the harpoon, he obeys nat
ural instinct, which, in this instance,
betrays him to his death. Not having
an air bladder, he can sink to the low
est depths Of the ocean, and, installing
the harpoon for the teeth of sword
fish or shark, he instantly descends,
this being his manner Of freeing him
self from these enemies, who cannot
bear the pressure of deep ocean, and
from descending and ascending in
small space he thus puts himself in the
power of the whaler.

battle was in progress the sound Of
the guns was heard at Cleveland,
about sixty miles away In direct line
over the water. The few settlers there
were expecting the battle and listened
with intense interest. Finally the
sounds ceased. They waited for re-
newal. None came; the lull was pain
full. Then they knew the battle was
over; but the result-ah, that was the
point One old fellow, who had been
lying fat with his ear to the ground,
soon settled that point Springing up,
