Mr.. Pickwick, his friend Mr. Wrinkle
and Mr.. Pickwick's servant, Mr.. Weller
had arranged lovers meeting for MIR.
Wrinkle and his beloved. 1t was neceS-
sary that the whole affair be conducted
as quietly as possible, in the dark.
The coach was punctual to the time
appointed; and Mr.. Weller after duly
installing Mr.. Pickwick and Mr.. Wrinkle
inside, took his seat on the box by the
driver. They alighted. as had been
agreed on, about quarter OF a mile
from the place Of rendezvous and, desir-
ing the coachman to await their return,
proceeded the remaining distance on
foot.
It was at this stage of the undertake
ing that Mr.. Pickwick, with many
smiles and various other indications Of
great dissatisfaction, produced from
enc of his coat pockets a dark lantern,
with which he had provided himself for
the occasion and the great mechanical
beauty of which heproceeded to explain
to Mr.. Wrinkle as they walked along, to
the no small surprise of the few stray
glers they met
Very nice things, if they're man.
aged properly. sir commented Mr..
Weller: but when you don't want to
be seen I think they're more useful
arter the candles gone out than wen
it's alight."
Mr.. Pickwick appeared struck by
Sans remarks, for he put the lantern
into his pocket again. and they walked
on in silence. Down the lane they went,
and dark enough it was. Mr. Pickwick
brought out the lantern once or twice
as they CROPPED their way along and
threw very brilliant little tunnel Of
light before them about foot in diam
eter. They finally arrived in the APP
pointed garden.

THE EVENING STORY
One of WOrld.Famous Works of Literature

THAT ere blessed lantern 'ull be the
death on US ALL" exclaimed Sam peev-
iShly. Take care wot you're doin' on,
sir; you're a Sendin' a blaze o. light
right into the back parlor winder."
Dear me-" said Mr.. Pickwick, turn
ing hastily aside. II didn't mean to do
that"
Nov, it's in the next house, sir"
demonstrated Sam.
BLESS my hearth" exclaimed Mr..
Pickwick. turning round again.
Nov it's in the stable, and they'll
think the place Is afire," said Sam.
While these things were going on in
the open air, an elderly gentleman Of
scientific attachments was seated in his
library, two or three houses OF, writing
q philosophical treatise. and ever and
anon moistening his clay and his labors
with glass Of claret from venerable
looking bottle which stood by his side.
In the agonies of composition the elder
ly gentleman looked sometimes at the
carpet. sometimes at the ceiling and
sometimes at the wall, and when neither
carpet. ceiling nor wall afforded the
requisite degree of inspiration he looked
out of the window.
In one of these pauses of invention
the scientific gentleman was gazing abb
stractedly on the thick darkness out
side, when he was very much surprised
by observing most brilliant light
glide through the air at a short dis
lance above the ground and almost in
simultaneously vanish. After a short
time the phenomenon was repeated, not
once or twice, but several times. At last
the scientific gentleman, laying down
his pen, began to consider to what nat
ural causes these appearances were to
be assigned.
They were not meteors; they were too
low. They were not glow-worms; they
were too high. They were not will-o'-
the-wisps; they were not firefllies: they
were not fireworks. What could they
be? Some extraordinary and wonder
full phenomenon of nature. which no

down he went.
But the scientific gentleman could
not rest under the idea of the ingenious
treatise he had projected being lost to
the world, which must inevitably be the
case IL the speculation of the ingenious
Mr.. Pruffle were not stifled In its birth
He put on his hat and walked quickly
down the garden, determined to investi-
gate the matter to the very bottom.
Now, shortly before the scientific gen.
tleman walked out into the garden Mr..
Pickwick had run down the lane as
fast as he could to convey false alarm
that somebody was coming that way;
occasionally drawing back the slide of
the dark lantern to keep himself from
the ditch. The alarm was no sooner
given, than Mr.. Wrinkle scrambled back
over the wall, and Arabella. his sweet

philosopher had ever seen before; some
thing which 1t had been reserved for
him alone to discover, and which he
should immortalize his name by chron-
telling for the benefit Of posterity.
Full of this idea, the scientific gentle
man seized his pen again and committed
to paper sundry notes Of these un.
paralleled appearances, with the date,
day, hour minute and precise second at
which they were visible; all of which
were to form the data of q voluminous
treatise of great research and deep
learning, which should astoniSh all the
atmospherical sages that ever drew
breath in any part of the civilized
globe.
He threw himself back in his easy
chair, wrapped in contemplations of his
future greatness, The mysterious light
appeared more brilliantly than before
dancing. to all appearances, up and
down the lane, crossing from side to
side, and moving in an orbit as eccen-
trio as comets themselves.

has assured the Berlin authorities
that they would not cancel the con-

public some assurance. but there ia
unrest In the minds of several Ber-

should be lost in getting to some
conclusion In regards to the matter.
There Ia at the present time in
Berlin a volunteer fire department
