One OF those frequent dramas between
a high military officer and a woman Of
lowly circumstances eliminated at Ber-
lin the other dag in a grim tragedy,
which put an end 70 a promising career
and probably 10 a young and vigorous
life
About a year ago Herr Won Liers ind
Wilkau a lieutenant In the First Fusi-
lier Guards made the acquaintance Of a
pretty seamstress. In time the neuten-
ant. however. grew tired of the girl and
sought 10 break the tie, but was unsuc-
cessful. The Lieutenant had but returned
from the fall maneUyers and was in the
act Of giving out the parole for the day
In the barrack square Of his regiment
when the girl appeared on the scene and
insisted on speaking to him. He urged
upon her that It was not a suitable place
or time for such a discussion as theirs
must be; bur no argument would move
her. Her pleadings grew more loud and
more violent. and finally the wretched
man had her dragged of the ground by
a noncommissioned officer.
But the reckoning only had been post
poned. When he reached his home In the
afternoon she was waiting outside IN the
street. He brushed past her and ran up
stairs Quickly. She followed him as
quickly and forced her way in before he
could close the door Of his fat What
followed must be conjecture mostly.
Angry voices were heard. then a shot.
People who had been attracted by the
noise hurried in and found the girl lying
PROSTATE on the floor while Lieut. von
Liers stood at the window with a smok-
ing revolver in his hand. At that mo-
ment the lieutenant seemed 10 realize
what he had done, and raising his hand,

ously wounded, but the tickle lover is

SOME REMARKABLE WAGERS
Gentlemen Of Former Days Who Bet
on Their Ability to Undrsss
Beneath the Water.

Risky wagers, involving life as
well as money, were popular diver
sion in the days when betting was as
natural and necessary to existence as
the flowers in May.
"Two gentlemen" says the au-
thor of 'Iight Come, Light Co." cat
coffee house near Temple Bar once
made an extraordinary bet of this
nature. One of them was to jump
into seven feet of water with his
clothes on, and entirely to undress
himself in the water, which he did
within the appointed time"
Ralph Nevill himself, when an
undergraduate at Cambridge, testi-
fies that he witnessed an exploit of
this sort in the Cam on a bitter cold
winters day.
An undergraduate of herculean
build had wagered that he would I'M
dress below the surface of the water.
He was allowed to cancel his bet
after he had removed all his cloth
ing except one sock. When he
bobbed up above the level of the
killies and tadpoles that we're doing
a Marathon, aghast at such fool
hardness on the part of. the in
truder, he appeared exhausted, and
by mutual consent all bets were de-
clared off.
The young man who had bet on
his powers of endurance under water
entirely recovered from his sub
mersion, next day, but-nevel
again!

sleep and nibble, till the coming of

"A mar of 1870 pounds will sleep 48
hours, awake and take a sip of water

him a fortnight. When, four months
later, he rises, pale and weak, and
begins to pillow the melted soil, his 100

generally in the east, but in the west,
where bounties on his scalp are the
highest, he has thrived, although most
of the wild animals that the states

of bread and other food were found
in disordered array.
