No one brought Into cnsuul conflict tilth Edward Flint would huvo sus pected tlmt he wus of "unsound mind. None the less ho wus one of the uioHt tlnnirerous lunatics that I hud in the K asylum. He hud been an exeeptlouiilly able lawyer, und, up to his 40th year, hud been making u (urge Income. Over work hud. however, told upon hlui, and be wus suddenly seized, while In the coiupuuy of some friends, with acute homicidal lunula. He hud been with me for four 'yenrs. and, on the average, hud uu uttuck of mania every six or seven weeks. During his period of lunacy he was so ferocious us to de mand constunt cure it ml supervision. and of course, as a result, bud to be de tained lu the nsylum. In bis saner Intervuls no man could have desired a pleusuntor coiupuulou. and It wus my constunt habit to spend half an hour or so a dny In, bis con genlnl company. One duy, Just before his perlodlcul uttuck, be told me the . following story, which Is of such a unique character that I give It Just as he told It me. At Its conclusion wrought up to a pitch of fury, bo inude a determined uttuck on me, and I near ly paid for my tnlu with my life, being only rescued with difficulty by tlie at tendants. "I wan what the world would cull a successful man, and on my fortieth Mrthdny I reckoned 1 wus making over 2,000 a year. I hud ulwuys been a lonely man and hud never bud the least Inclination toward feniule society, con tenting myself with my work and my books. One dny, however, I bud to wait upon uu old gentleman who had recently come to our town for the pur pose of drawing up his will. When this was done I was Introduced to his , daughter, a girl about 20. Ethel Mllll kin was uot what might bavo been culled a beauty; still, I knew ut once that I hnd met my fate. To you, doctor, married young and happily, It may sound ridiculous for a nilddle-nged man to be talking of love, yet to me It was a desperate fuct. I will not bore you with her description; suffice It to say that, treinbllug. I took my leave and went buck to my ollloe. There I thought long ii ml deeply over this new phase lu my life, und finally resolved that, cost what It might, 1 would mar ry Miss Mllliklu, and tlmt If I couldn't no one else should. "It was clearly absurd for ine to at tempt to win her love lu the usual way, the disparity In our years wus so great, so I decided to win her respect first. "I took time over It and quietly Inter ested myself In her pet projects, sub scribed to her sick fund, lent her books, and wus of use to her lu ninny ways. Already she regarded me us a very dear friend, und, I huvo no doubt, would sooti have learned to love me, "One night I was to take her and her sister to the theater and hud booked. three stalls. At tho lust minute, how ever, to my secret Joy, her sister hud a bad headache and was unable to go, We went us arranged and I decided to put my fortunes to the touch during the performance. On our arrival the theater was crowded and, to my In tense annoyance, I found a young cli ent of mine. Sir Edward Berkley, In the next stall to ours. I wus obliged to Introduce him and hud the niortltlen tlon of seeing that Miss Milllkln had made nil Impression on him. What chance bud I ngulnst n young, wealthy and handsome man? Aud with Jenlous eyes I already saw the Chateau d'Es pugno of love, that I had so carefully reared. In ruins. "On our return from the play Berk ley Insisted on accompanying us to Mr. .Mllllkln's house and was Introduced by ine to him. "The acquaintance ripened Into friendship, and friendship Into love, which 1 wus imwerless to prevent; and one day Berkley burst Into my oltlee lu a great state of excitement and ask ed me to congratulate him! "Me, of all men! How I mnnnged with Impotent rage at my heart to keep n smooth and smiling face I do not know; but, to add to the bitter Irony of the situation, I bad to receive In structions to draw up my successful rival's marriage settlements. ' 1 could have cheerfully murdered him as he sat lu his chair so bright and cheerful, with the happiness of youth glowing In his face. Suddenly his face twitch ed, and lie hastily put up his baud to tils brow. "What Is It?" I eagerly asked, kop lni he might be going to be IU. "Nothing-only neuralgia. I thnve suffered from It for years and have tried everything, und seeti nil the doc tors; but to no uvall. Bo now I muke the best of It.' "So saying, ho got up und took his lea vp, to go mid make love curse him! to his fiancee. "No one knows what days and nights I spent, ulthough 1 worked until my body was itching; my brain would not let mo sleep. I roamed up and down my room, planning Impossible methods of revenge, only to see tho futility of It all. The times arc not suited for mclndrnnm, und If I could only watch und watch and wnlt. "On morning I crawled down to the ofllce feeling utterly done' up. and list lessly examined my correspondence, Among It I noted one from un old friend who was practicing us a physl clan In I'urls. Tossing the rest of the letters to the managing clerk, I began to read my friend's long letter. Sud denly a paragraph In It seemed to stand before my eyes us If written In fire. It run thus: " 'You will, I know, be keenly Inter ested In a marvelous discovery Hint Ir. Luys, of this city, has Just made. He is our great authority on brain dis eases urn! nlso dabbles lu hypnotism and other kindred subjects. lie lias established beyond any doubt that It Is possible to remove the delusions of an Insane person pre viously hypnotized by menus of a thin mugnctl.cd steel bund worn around the patient's forehead for about a week. This Is sulllclently marvelous, but Is nothing to the fuct that If a sane mun or woman wears tho bund pre viously used by the lunatic the delu sions of the latter pass In their entire ty to the wearer, who becomes un echo in every action of his predecessor.' "At lust! At lust! Crushing the paper In my hand, I revelled In the exquisite revenge thu letter revealed to me. My Drum, pretcrniitiirully excited, In a few moments, planned the whole scheme. Violently ringing my bell, I Informed the clerk who cnine hurrying In that I hud to go to I'urls at once on urgent business. I told him to ask Sir Edward to meet mo nt tho office In four days' time to finish the settlement, und I started ut once for London cn route for I'urls. "Fatigue was gone. Once more alert and active, I felt as If treading on air, On the Journey I rehearsed and rehears ed the scheme I hud planned out until I thought It perfect. I ut once, on ar rival, hastened to my friend's house nnd pretended thut I hud not received his letter. After breakfast be took ine to Dr. Liiys' clinic, and there I saw thut the powers bo laid claim to were Indeed his. Selecting the neediest-look ing of his assistants I gently touched him and drew him aside. In my best French I told him that If he came to my hotel that evening with the bund Just removed from the lunatic who had been relieved liefore my eyes, I would give him 2,.ri()0 francs, or 100. At first he would not listen, but at last he did nnd I went back to my hotel, content. That evening I left I'urls with my 're venge' carefully packed In a smiill box. On arrival ut my house I slept for twelve hours, a thing I had not done for weeks, and awoke ready to carry my scheme through. I see you shudder, doctor, but I felt calm as fnte Itself. "The following morning I wns closet ed with Berkley for some time, poring over deeds of title and old, musty doeu ments, I purposely delayed, In order to fatigue him. Presently I saw the tell-tale contraction of his face, nnd I knew he wns mine. Leaning across the tuble, I said: 1 hnd Intended, Sir Edward, half ruining myself In giving you a wed ding present; out l luive altered my mind I will cure your neuralgia In stead.' " 'What!' said he, eagerly; 'I'd give anything If you could; It's tho only cross I hnve to beiir. " 'Well. I'll cure you on one condi tion.' " 'Name It I'll do anything.' " 'That you give me your solemn word of honor not to disclose to any one the method of cure. 'All right; only cure me.' 'Well, I'll tell you, first, why you have hud to promise. You must know that this ofllce that Is, myself Is the repository of half the secrets of the towti. This Is because everyone thinks I am a model for solid common sense. Now. If you blurted out that I had ad vised fou to use a hnlf-splrltunllstlc, hnlf-quacklsh remedy, why. my repu tation us hh embodiment of practical sense would be gone. I used myself to suffer from headaches, and do now, for that matter, and had tried every remedy that the doctors could suggest. At last I was persuaded to try a spiri tualist, to whom I went at night, Ire gave ine a thin band to wear whenever 1 had a headache, and he said It would relieve It If due to overwork, or cure It If due to neuralgia. It was to be worn for eight days constantly, and, to en'- oble you to do It, I suggest that we both take a week's holiday and go to some small fishing village aud try the treatment.' "I paused nnd waited with throbbing heart for his answer. How awfully good you are, Flint! I can never repay you for your kind ness; I owe you more than I can tell already. Why, you Introduced me to the loveliest ' " 'Stay! stuy! Don't begin that. I will arrange to start next Monday.

In the little village of Ancorn 1 bound the fatal band round his fore head. I could not hypnotize him, but I felt sure that my Intense desire for the success of the band would be as good as any other man's hypnotic pow er. And so It proved, for, on the eighth duy. I found Sir Edward Berkley Ethel's promised husband In his bed room, a gibbering lunatic. I nt once secured the steel band, which wus soou destroyed, nnd then summoned assist- unce. With great dlfllculty we hud him removed to nu nsylum, nnd I went buck to break the news to his fiancee. I did It, I flatter myself, well, nnd then left her alone for a month. Then I gradu ally began once more to frequent the house, until I stood again In my old po sition. Berkley hnd been nwny for five months, and I thought the time hud arrived to speak my mind to Ethel. I went one nfternoon to see her, nnd. If possible, to win her. Sitting nt ber side, I wns Just going to speak, when I heard a step on the stair and turned round, and to my amazement snw Sir Edwnrd Berkeley himself.

One Hon" to Be Fun nier than the Other. Mr. Giddy Invited two friends to dine with hlm the other evening, and when the first of them arrived he found the host In a very merry mood. "Glad you got here first," he snld. "I've got a Joke on .Tonesby that the boys will tell around the office for u year, and I wnnt to tell you about It be fore he comes." ".Tonesby Is something of a Joker himself, Isn't he?" returned the guest. "He thinks so now, but he won't af ter he finds out. You see, he's played a lot of fool tricks on me that be thinks funny, and I've been waiting to get even. Of late hes tnken to buying lots of neckties and keeping a comb In his desk, and the boys think he's In love with the typewriter." "Well, that's no Joke, I'm sure." "I wasn't sure about It myself un til to-dny. when 1 saw him sneak In and lay on her desk a big candy box, done up In white paper and tied with blue ribbons. If he hadn't run away as fast as he could he'd have heard me laughing, for I couldn't restrain It an other second." Well," said the guest, who was won dering how soon dinner would be served. "Well, I knew I had blra then, so I Just grabbed the candy box and slid It Into my overcoat pocket, Just as the typewriter came into the room." "Did she suspect?" , "No; I guess not. She asked me what I was laughing at. and I told her I'd Just seen a fat old man slip on a ba nana peel. She smoothed her hair down and said she didn't see anything funny lu that she knows I'm married, you see." "I see. We have typewriters at our office, too." Y'es. Then 1 Invited Jonesby to din ner to-night; I brought the box of can dy home I'll bet It's good, too! Told my wife to put It on the dinner table. I'll tell old Jonesby the Joke after It's all eaten. Won't he be mad, though? Sh that's him. Don't say anything. Hello, Jonesby, old mun; you're lute. I thought you weren't coming." "I am a little late," returned the new comer. "The fact Is I stayed later than usual at the office this evening. Fact Is, I'd put up a Joke on the typewriter and I wanted to see what she'd do." "Joke on the typewriter, eh? What was It?" said Mr. Giddy, winking at the first guest. "Put a box with two mice In It on her desk. I knew she'd think It was can dy, and what's the matter, old mau?" 'I I want to tell my wife some thing," faltered Mr. Giddy. But' Just then a series of the most appalling screams coming from the di rection of the dining-room told that he was too lute!

In Ulustrutlon of the way In which teachers' lessons are frequently lost oil their pupils, a Chicago teacher tells a story of some of her pupils "showing off" under her auspices. She hud been drilling into them one afternoon the difference in tlie mean lug of the words "taught" and "learned;" over and over again, In the presence of a late visitor, she had explained the use of each of the words, nnd had given them several examples In which the words were cor rectly used. "Now," she said, "I think you have learued your lesson as well as I have taught It to yon. Willie, will you give me a sentence with the word 'taught" in It?" A falr-halred urchin on the front seat spoke up promptly: "I fought It was time for school to let out!" No, no! Mamie, you may give me an example," she said, turning to a bright girl farther back. "I fought It was time to go home." nnswered Mamie, with un air as If she had done exactly the right thing. And though she tried several times more, no other form of the word than the variation "fought" could the teach er get out of her school. GERMANY'S. DUDE KAISER. Bow He Trains His Mustache to Stand Up btrnight. Such a thing as an army officer with out a mustache is hardly known In the German empire, the erratic ruler of which gives b I s subjects un exam ple of how to train the hirsute adorn ment lu question. His Majesty pos sesses the newest and most success ful mustache train er in Germany. ( It is an arrangement divided In the cen ter by a buckle. On each side of the buckle Is a strip of ribbon, lined with pink netting, permitting ventilation. At the end of each ribbon Is n tiny comb. His Majesty's valet places the buckle In the center of his Majesty's mustache and combs the ends of the Imperial mustache toward his Majes ty's ears. The end of the ribbons can then be fastened by pieces of elastic to the ears. The little combs He down and cause no annoyance. It can be worn at night, and If the whiskers are long enough the result Is sure to be most warlike aud Impressive. The Em peror has a very fine mustache. The ends are long and sharp, and point to ward the ears as straight and stiffly as If they were made of steel. KAISER'S NEW DAND1F1EU. lect of duty. There Is nothing about the position which would attract a poseur. Tlie plnce Is lu no wise orna mental, nor Is It Intended for one of those detestable persons who, while nonitnullly holding a position, force the work thereof upon others. So It Is that Mrs. Costa has undertaken a task that at no time can be termed light. She has demonstrated that she ha no tear oi uer u unity railing to justify ex pectations. The pistols always nt.her bond show she Is, too, prepured for rob bers. It would be thought that a woman so completely engrossed lu business would find only a little time for home life or for making happy that sjiot which is supposed to be the dearest of all on earth to the mnrried man. On the contrary, Mrs. Costa Is us attentive to her home as she Is to business. There Is In all Sun Jose no pleasanter home than that which the bend of the bonk ing house of Costa & Co. hus In his mind's eye. The delicate touch of the woman, the evidence of dainty fem inine taste In adornment, are every where visible about the house. It has every mark of the home of the woman ly woman, and it all goes to show thut a woman may be bright and business like, and at the sume time retain the at tributes which have won her her place In the domestic world. to be u woman who did not huvo head indies the number to whom the new remedy will uppeul Is practically Infin ite. This much-vaunted little affair Is a simple metallic chain terminating In a handle nt euch end. To each link In tho chiiln Is fnsteiied two tiny balls so ar ranged ns to permit of eusy revolution. The chain Is tnken In both bands and rapidly pushed backward und forward over the aching portion of the head, the speed, of course, being reguluted by the Judgment of the sufferer. The advantage of the llttlo arrange ment, say those who know, Is that It Increases the capillary circulation and thereby produces the effect of a genflo or violent reaction, according as the sufferer pleases. It Is true thut It Is an expensive toy, but thnt will doubtless be considered ouly us an evidence of Its value. Prmlilcnt McKlnlef's Nice. The President nnd Mrs. McKinley, having no children of their own, are devoted In their attachment to their young nieces.

Miss Mabel McKInlcy Is a dnlnty blonde, nnd a very pretty young girl. Tho President and bis wife have a pretty pet name, that of Sunshine, for their brother's child, and her musical talents afford them much pleasure.

Inasmuch as It Is a cure for that bane of many a woman's life, a head ache. It Is a little mechanical instru ment of massage, simple In construc tion and requiring no skill for Its appli cation. The results are said to be mirac ulous. And as there was never known Ton Mnch Credit for Benuty. It is sheer nonsense to claim that ev ery debutante is a beauty, says the Washington Post, or that every woman who gives a dinner Is lovely and grace ful. She may be neither, and yet a charming hostess. Beauty Is not every thing. Some of the most attractive women are not even good-looking, and on the other hand there are many beau tiful women who nre anything but at tractive. The beauty business Is rathei overdone. It Is getting to be tiresome to read about beautiful women. They are becoming entirely too common. An old-fnshloned, charming woman, pleasant,- agreeable, entertaining, but not beautiful, would be a sight refreshing to behold, and she would attain a de gree of popularity unknown among the modern beauties. The Kmrapement Ring- Flnirer. The custom of wearing the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand Is one of those survivals of pagan superstition which have become part of civilization itself. The old Greeks and Romans believed that this finger contained a vein directly communi cating with the heart, and when the ring became the marriage symbol this finger was naturally chosen as the one on which the ring should be worn. The supposed connection of the fourth fin ger with the heart is, of course, a mere fallacy, but the custom that arose out of It has long been sanctioned by usage. Cast Off Corsets. A very curious scheme was started last spring In Paris. A society for the relief of the poor placed a box In a weauny quarter oi tne town, with a placard begging women to throw worn out corsets therein. It was Intended that the manufacture Into various ar ticles of the whalebone would give em ployment to poor women, and the re sult has proved that the idea was most clever. Kilted Skirt. The new kilted skirts must be made by an expert dressmaker, as they need to be cut so that there Is no fullness round the hips, while the plaits round the feet must set with sufficient ampli tude or the effect Is ruined.
