Terry was sitting with one elbow on
his knee, his head resting on his palm,
niifl his face In the shadow. From the
big drawing room came the sound or
music and the rippling laughter of the
children. lie remembered now that
Constance had told him with a look of
pain that the last few days her little
daughter had been continually hover
ing about her In the house and watched
her to leave It, always with extreme
reluctance, nearly alWaj-B eagerly of
fering to accompany her It was al
most as though she had understood.
Aud he had laughed laughed. Good

"And I must not tell father Jane

would kill father. Terry?"
"Not a doubt about It," said Terry,
thickly.
"Then I wou't. But I hnd to tell
you, Terry. I've always told you things
since I was quite a little girl, haven't
I, Terry?"
'Always, Dodo."
"Terry, can't you do something?"
Terry puts his hands over his ears to
shut out the maddening sound of the
gay music, and groaned.
"Couldn't you find out the kidnaper,
and make him stop couldn't you, dar
ling?" Terry's face was hidden In his hands
now. Then he raised his head sudden
ly and looked at her.
"Dodo suppose suppose," be said,
honrsely, "that 1 could put my linger
on the scoundrel what then?"
"O, Terry, you could go to him and
make him stop. You could tell bow
good and sweet mummy Is, and how
we all loTe her. Perhaps he's got a
little girl of his own, and if you tell
that I can't live without mummy he
will be sorry. Perhaps he could take

let mummy go. And when I nm a
woman father says I will be rich, iinu
I will give It all to hlm-I will give
him everything everything. O, Terry,
tell him that."
Terry caught the little, sobbing, tor
tured creature in his arms anil pressed
his face tightly against her fair bead.
Then he pulled out his handkerchief
and wiped her eyes.
"Dodo, my sweetheart, listen to me.
Mummy Is quite safe no one is going
to take her away. If-if anyone
thought of-at least-." He stumbled
In his speech, aud then went on boldly.
"I know the fellow. Dodo, and he Is
heartily sorry that he ever thought of
such a thing. You believe me, when I
tell you that mummy Is all right?"
"Yes. Terry." She looked up at him
trustfully. She knew that her darling
Terry would make things right.
-Dodo, sweetheart. I want you to
promise me this: that you will try and

never mention It to anyone, and that

He stooped and kissed with a so

a bit like her old laughing Terry. But
she felt that never had she loved him
as she did now.

young fellow, with an odd break In his
voice. "Go and play with the others.
I'm going to have another smoke."
She kissed him and clung to blm with
a tenderness and trust that moved him
deeply.

When the hero of the popular short

his pages with tobacco smoke and
punctuates them with cocktails. In
Joy or In sorrow, in the most romantic
no less than the more coiumanplace
moments, the hero "lights another
cigarette." Emotion unacompanled by
nicotine Is something of which he
evidently has no conception.

THE MAN WITHIN THE GUN. ,
Here Is the Id-inch gun which has

with a man In It whose weight is 105
pounds. The gun Is Immense, when one
considers the quality of the metal con
tained In it,, which Is. of course, the
best that science aud skill can produce
tit the present time. It la built up of
nine pieces of steel forglngs. the first
piece being tbe tube, all In one piece,
48 feet long The whole length of the
finished gun Is 4U feet, tbe diameter ut
breech end is 54 feet, and at muzzle
2 feet 4 Inches. Its weight Is 130 tons,
and It Is rifled with Dtt grooves. The
breech-loading mechanism is operated
by the one movement of turning a
crank. Twenty turns of the crank
swings the breech block out ready for
the firing, which Is done by pulling a
lanyard after tbe primer has been
placed In position and connected with
electric contact. The firing mechan
ism is connected so as to make It Im
possible to explode the primer before
the breech block is properly closed aud

end of a Mountain-climber.
Alpine Adventure that Caused the
Death of Four Men
Owen Glynne Joues, who was killed
with three guides while climbing the
"White Tooth" in the Alps three yeans
ago. was one of the greatest of mountain-climbers.
The details of the ac
cident which ended his life at 32 are
reeouuted by Harold Speuder In Me
Clure's Magazlue. Jones was a safe aud
scientific climber, and his death was
due to no fault of his own. The five
men In the party, tied together with a,
rope thirty feet between man and man.
proceeded In this order: The guides,
Furrer aud Zurbriggou, first, theu
Glyune Joues, Yuignier. another guide,
and F. W. Hill, who was a schoolmas
ter like Jones, and who, like him, pur
sued mountain-climbing as a sport.
Coming -to a difficult buttress ten feet
high, Furrer, who was In advance,
could not find a hold. It was necessary
for hi in to mount first, and theu pull the
others up when he had secured foot
hold; so Zurbrlggen aud Joues put an
Ice-ax under him to stand on, aud
crouched down to hold It. As they
could not see what Furrer was doing
above them, they were unprepared for
a sudden shock.
It Is evident that these men were de
pending on Furrer's success In getting
ilie hand-hold for which he was reach
ing. Mr. Hill, who wns some feet be
low the group about the Ice-ax, saw
Furrer slip. He fell uiou the two ob
livious men beneath him. All throe
went, striking Yuignier, who stood be
tween Hill and the three falling men.
Hill hud instinctively turned to the
rock to get a firm hold, expecting to be
carried away with the other men; but
after a few seconds he realized that he
wns safe and alone. Looking round, he
saw his companions sliding at fatal
speed down the rock luto the abyss.
Between him and tbe unfortunate men,
who were being hurled to sure death,
he saw thirty feet of rope dauglng from
his waist. The faithful Yuignier had
fastened it to some point In the rock to
protect his master. The weight of the
lour bodies had broken tho rope, and
this saved Mr. mil's life.
After two days of hardship, climbing
alone, Mr. Hill arrived at the hotel.
The lesson here for all climbers, those
who muke a sport of It aud Jest with
death, and those who, In unsought
predicament, need to know how to
climb. Is this: Those men blundered
by allowing the fate of three men to
depend on one man's hand-hold. Agnlu.
ho far as Is possible, every man In u
climbing party should know what the
others are doiug. In order not to be tak
en uuu wares, as were the unfortunate
men who held the ax under Furrer's
feet.
QUEER CASE OF HYSTERIA.
Victim Waa Distinctly Marked by the
Devil blie Thought Poaaeeaed Her.
A series of extraordinary events re
cently took place at Uodez, France,
which have excited widespread inter
est among all classes. The circum
stances were thoroughly Investigated
oy a representative of a Paris Journal,
t he scene of the occurrences was tho
jrpban asylum of Grezes, near Lalssac,
md they concerned a member of this
asylum, by name Sister Salnt-Fleuret.
Hie following Is the result of the In
vestigation, obtained from absolutely
creditable sources and of which he
guarantees the correctness.
There has been at the orphan asy
lum for tbe past twelve years a sister.
rlglnally from the Canton of Bozou s.
vho Is afflicted with a species of mad
ness which makes her believe that she
a possessed by a devil; her sister su
perior, the other sisters of the asylum
md nearly all the ecclesiastics of the
ountry have a similar belief In her
illllctlon.
The dlsense. according to the physi
cians. Is merely a species of hysteria;
uittirul predisposition which became
u-ute under the Influence of the sur
rounding atmosphere. But the super
natural features are the result of true
mto-suggestion. In her paroxysms tbe
Mifferer utters piercing cries of such In
:ensuy that the pensauts hear them at
i great distance from the convert. Dur
n g these attacks the patk-ut believes
erself to be bitten or burnt by the
lev II In this or that portion of her
ody. Tbe auto-suggestlou is so strong
it these times that Immediately upon
:he disappearance of the paroxysms
.here Is found ou that poitiou of tbe
lody where the suffering Is most In
ense. either a burn of the skin or the
uiprint of teeth.
Sister .aiiit-Fleuret has a horror of
very relig.ous object and the nearby
presence of a figure of Christ, of a book
f devotlous, or of any. sacred image
immediately throws her Into au almost
rabid fit. The most curious circum
stnive Is that she ueed not see these
objects, she feels them, she divines
chem wbeu they ore brought near her
even though carefully hidden, and she
Immediately rushes at them to destroy.
Further, she frequently divines the
thought of persons who speak to her
aud she responds to them In their own
language, whatever this language may
be. Although site Is a simple peasant
who baa never received the least edu
cation. Sister Salnt-Fleuret In her par
oxysms speaks Greek, Italian, Itusslan,
English and German. She always re
sponds fluently In the language what
ever It may be In which she Is ad
dressed. KNEW ALL THE 8YMPTOMS.
Doctor Waa Able to Make a Moat Won
derful Prosinoaia.
One of the anecdotes related by Dr.
S. Weir Mitchell In his story. "Doctor
North and His Friends," might well be
a personal experience of tbe author.
Tbe hero. Doctor North, was traveling
from Harrlsburg by the night train,
which was crowded. In one of the cars
he found man stretched across two
seats, asleep. He wakened blm. begged
pardon for disturbing him. and asked
for a seat. After a little time tbe two
entered into conversation.
At length- the mau asked. "Do you
know Dr. Owen North?"
Bather astonished, I said. "Yes."
"What kind of a man Is he?"
"Oh. a very good fellow."
'He Is like all them high-up doctors.
Gets big fees, doesn't he? 1 waut to
know."
"Xo," said I. "That Is always exag
gerated. Why do you ask?"
"Well. I've had a lot of doctors, and I
ain't no better, and now I haven't much
money left."
Vpon this, my friend confided to mo
all his physical woes In detail. Wi
parted before daybreak. It was toe
dark In the car for either of us to sc
plainly the face of the other.
AlHtut ten the ncx$ day the man en
tered my consulting rooui. As I should
not have known him except for a rather
peculiar voice, I, too, remained uniden
tified. 1 could not resist so excellent
an opportunity. Looking at hliu. I said:
"Sit down. You have a pain la your
back."
"That's queer! I have."
"And you are blind In the left eye,
and your digestion is bad," and so I
weut on.
At last he said, "I never saw a doctor
like yon! It scares a man, 'most Cau
you cure me?"
I said. "Yes," and wrote out direc
tions. It was really a simple case.
When he produced a well-worn wallet
I declined to4ake a fee, and said:
"I owe you for the seat and the good
sleep I dlsturled last night."
"Well, I declare! I see, now! You
were the man. But law! why did you
give It away? I'd have seut you the
whole township."
PRALINES OF NEW ORLEANS.
Delicious Candy Which la Rold on the
Mreeta of Old Town.
"Among uie toothsome memories of
bygone years nothing In the form of
sweets or candy appeals so keenly to
tbe Ixmlslaiilan as the praline," says
Holwrt Mitchell Floyd, according to the
rew lork Mall and Express. "A strnn
ger visiting the city aud desiring to
find some of this dainty would proba

the descendants of the old Indians
whose blood has beeu Intermingled
with French negroes. The candy Is
always carried about In the morning,
freshly made, ou small neatly covered

"In the making of the praline the In
dian obtains from the hogshead of mo
lasses the sugar that has granulated
from the liquid and beeu preclptated
to the bottom. This Is flavored more
highly than the ordinary sugar-house
product and when rcboiled aud cooled
has a most attractive and delicious
taste of Its own. Pecan nuts are care
fully cracked and taken from their
shells so that the two halves of the
nut are unbroken. The boiling thick
sugar la then poured out on a flat stone
in little puddles of about three Inches
In diameter. Into tbe surface of which
the pecan nut meats are carefully
bunched In coiili-al heaps, with just
enough of the hot liquid sugar added
to hold them In place."
Kclentillo Agriculture.
Secretary Wilson believes that not
enough attention Is paid to scientific
agriculture by the colleges of to-day.
aud he has taken up the agllatlou of
this matter as a hobby. Wherever he
makes a speech he tells his hearers that
his department utilizes the services of
every young mini il can find who has
had a thorough training In some branch
of scleultfic agriculture. There Is n
great demand for this kind of service,
and the department has the utmost dif
ficulty In holding ou to its experts be
cause of the growing outside calls that
are being made on them. There are
slmut two thousand people In the De
partment of Agriculture who are en
gaged on scientific agricultural work,
yet hardly one of them came Into the
government service fully equipped. Sec
retary Wilson calls attention to this
fact to emphasize his statement that
the colleges should give more thought
aud attention to the development of
agricultural sciences. There are some
fifty agricultural colleges In the couii-l
try cnlling for comletent teachers, and'
some sixty or sevoLty agricultural ex
periment stations, where there Is al
ways an opening for a trained scientist.
There Is money In becoming an agricul
tural expert and Secretary Wilson
thinks that our young men would do
well to choose such a profession rather I
than tbe overcrowded fields of law and
medicine. Brooklyn Eagle. j
