lie was afraid Of losing her, after
meeting her again in such strange
circumstances. His grudge against
her was gone. He no longer doubted
that she had nothing to reproach
herself with however peculiar and
inexplicable her conduct might seem.
He was ready to make any display
OF clemency, forgiveness or cowardice.
He was in love. And. no doubt, he
would soon receive a very natural ex-

As Raoul once more passed through
the great crush-room, this time in the
wake of his guide, he could not help
noticing a group crowding round a
person whose disguise, eccentric air
and gruesome appearance We're caus-
ing sensation. 1t was man dressed
all in scarlet, with a huge hat and
feathers on the top of wonderful
deaths head. From his shoulders hung
an immense red-Velvet cloak, which
trailed along the floor like a king s
train; and on this cloak was en-
broidered, in gold letters, which every
one read and repeated aloud, Don't
touch me! I am Red Death stalking
abroad"
Then one, greatly daring, did try to
touch him but skeleton
hand shot out of a crimson sleeve
and violently seized the rash ones

the knucklebones. the furious grasp
of Death, uttered cry of pain and
terror When Red Death released him

Thousands of American Men Seem to
Be Wholly Uninterested in
Their Wives.

There are thousands Of American
men who are merely Indifferent to
their women. They are proud of them,
but supremely uninterested, and ask OF
their wives only to be let alone. Their
business is their life; it is their life
after they are married just as it was
before. They are playing a tremen-
dous game, and in this country a man
has got to win or go to the wall 1t
makes no difference whether a man is
married or a bachelor; it is not the
women of the country who determine
IL man must work at the great rate
OF speed at which they labor-it is the
pace of the country itself which de-
mands it. Our men give generously
and induigently to their women folks;
they like to see that they have "ev-
erything in the world" as the saying
is 1t pleases their vanity to see their
houses well-appointed and their wom-

SineclIre Had lasted Iona.

Pensions are not the only things
commanded and forgotten. An in.
quisitive member of the British house
of commons was struck one day by
the presence of policeman in one
OF the Hobbies. He wondered why
this particular lobby should always
have guardian strolling up and
down and made inquiries. The rec
ords OF the house were searched and
it was found that fifty years previous
ly, when the lobby was being decorat-
ed, policeman had been stationed
there to keep members from soiling
their clothes. The order never having
been countermanded, the constable
had kept his beat for half a century.

by a certain Ohio farmer who spent

Western Union Telegraph company.
Some years after impaired health

RaOul dressed in frantic haste, pre-

vortex of pleasure" Alas. he was a
very sorry guest and, leaving bis

o'clock in the evening, in a cab, be

carriage turned the corner of the road
and came quietly in his direction, at
walking pace.
As it approached, he saw that a
woman was leaning her head from the
window And, suddenly. the moon
shed a pale CLEAN over her features.
"Christinei"
The sacred name of his love had
sprung from his heart and his lips.
He could not keep it back He

as though 1t were the preconcerted
signal for furious rush on the part
of the whole turnout, which dashed
past him before he could put into ex-
ecution his plan Of leaping at the
horses heads. The carriage window
had been closed and the girls face
had disappeared. And the brougham,
behind which he was now running,
was no more than d black spot on the
white road
He called out again: Christine,
No reply. And he stopped in the
midst of the silence.
With a lack-luster eye, he stared
down that cold, desolate road and into
the pale, dead night. Nothing was
colder than his heart. nothing half so
dead; he had loved an angel and now
he despised a woman,

His valet found him in the morning
sitting on his bed. He had not I'M

sight of his face, that some disaster
had occurred. Raoul snatched his let
