THE BURGLAR AND
THE BRIDEGROOM.
THE colonial express was Just
drawing out of New Haven late
In tbe afternoon, when a young
man with a dark mustache and glasses,
who bad evidently lust boarded the
train, walked down the car aisle and
paused Inquiringly at tbe vacant seat
by my side. .The tram was well mieu,
and after pausing for an Instant as If
to aee whether I objected to sharing
my aeat with him the stranger planted
himself at my side.
Finally he leaned over to me. and,
touching my arm, said:
"I trust, sir, the arrangements will
be satisfactory." .
"I beg your pardon, sir," I replied.
"I am Miss Celeste's man. I was sent
to meet yon."
I never neglected an opportunity to
take advantage of circumstances, and I
merely replied:
"Indeed." -
"We are due at Providence at 722.
Tbe ceremony will take place at 8," be
went on. Ignoring my non-committal
replies.
"If yon will please to give me your
baggage checks," be continued, "I will
have tbe servants attend to It when we
arrive."
"I have nothing wltb me but this
satchel," I replied.
"Ah, yon have sent It on ahead. That
is good. But," he said, "yon are per
haps wondering bow I recognised your'
"I am not remarkably well known,'
I replied, "and my pictures"
"Ah, you look Just like them. Miss
Celeste allowed me to look at one. I am
gratified that you did not forget a sug
gestion I made to Miss Celeste that you
.wear a fedora and a pink rose." '
"So that was your Idea, was It?" I
aid.
Tbe train commenced to slow op for
Providence. My companion arose, and
I followed btm when he leaped upon
the platform.
A carriage attended by two footmen
was In waiting, and my companion
guided me to It I was In such a strange
position that I would have preferred
doing without the footmen at this par
ticular time.
In a few moments tbe carriage drew
tip at tbe door of a large, well-lighted
house wltb a broad veranda. From tbe
parlor laughter and conversation indi
cated that a large company was pres
ent. As we alighted another carriage,
which had been Just ahead of us, turn
ed from tbe curb and a solitary gentle
man walked up to tbe bouse.
"We are Just hi time. That Is the
minister," said my guide. ' I will show
you to your room, If you please, and
you can Join the company in the parlor
as soon as you are ready. If you need
me you can ring." Tbe broad staircase
was at hand, and I was saved the em
barrassment of meeting any of tbe
guests whom I might be expected to
know. Celeste, also, I escaped.
' My room was large, and upon tbe bed
a number of packages were spread out
J opened one of them. It was a dozen
sliver spoons. A small card read: "To
Mr. and Mrs. George Mopart: Congrat
ulations." Evidently tbe package was
Intended for me. I opened several oth
ers. One was a handsome diamond pin,
Just as I took It up I beard tbe knob of
my door turn, and unconsciously I slip
ped It Into my pocket
My companion of tbe train entered,
"Miss Celeste desires me to say that
she will meet you at the bead of the
talrs in ten mlputes, and will descend
.with you for tbe ceremony." .
"O, thank you, William. Is your name
-William? I forget"
"James, sir."
"All right James; that will do."
I retled my cravat and then took an
other look at tbe presents. I remem
bered afterward tbat I failed to return
that pin. Several other, remarkably
costly presents of small size were also
missing afterward, though I remem
ber perfectly seeing them on tbe bed
.while I was in the room.
I bad Just about six minutes in which
to keep my appointment with Celeste.
Had It not been for the ceremony
which was scheduled to take place im
mediately afterward I believe I should
have allowed my love of adventure to
lead me to the head of tbe stairs. Ce
leste! Nice name! I wondered what
she was like, as I softly opened tbe
door and looked out into tbe hallway,
fine was not there yet. Neither were
the servants. I left the room, closing
tbe door tightly behind me.
1 The ball was deserted. At the head
of tbe stairs I could hear laughter and
conversation. I bad my bat in my
band, but In order not to excite com
ment I bad left my small satchel be
hind. I strolled out on to tbe veranda.
Just at tbat moment down tbe street
I heard tbe rumble of a cab. In another
moment a four-wheeler, driven furious
ly, hauled up and a young man leaped
out He dnsned up tbe path, taking
the steps three at a time. I drew back
into tbe shadow. He passed so quickly
that I could not see his face.
I sauntered down tbe path. Tbe driv

really did well on that story.
I enjoyed reading the humorous ac
count of bow tho bridegroom missed
his train, and how the butler had mis
taken another gentleman on the train
for Mr. Mopart
I disliked, however, to have the Jour
nal make such open Insinuations
against tbe honesty of the person thus
Introduced In Mr. M opart's stead.

Growth of the Language,
"It seems to me, Henry," remarked
the wife of a professor of English lit
erature, after the guests who bad at
tended one of their "evenings" bad
gone, "that you treated Mr. Scollops
with marked discourtesy."
"Oh. I did, did I r
"Yes. You turned your back on him
while he was talking to you, and walk
ed deliberately out of tbe room, mutter

"I listened to him patiently enougb,"
said the professor, "while he was tell
ing me where he had 'Sundayed the
week before last. I stood it even when
be observed that it always 'enthused'
him to talk over old times, but when ha
asked me to come around some evening

A missionary was returning to Basel
from Patagonia, bringing with him, not
as the fruits of his labors, but merely
for tbe purposes of science, a collection
of Patsgouion skulls.
Tbe custom house officers opened the
chest inspected tbe contents and In
formed tbe owner that the consignment
must be classed as animal bones, and
taxed at so much the pound.
The missionary was Justly indignant;
therefore the officials agreed to recon
sider tbe question. When the way-bill
had been revised, It appeared in tbe
following form:
"Chest of native skulls. Personal ef
fects, already worn."

Tbe Shape of the Earth.
Owing to the action of certain well-
known laws, tbe earth Is not a perfect
sphere. Careful measurements show
that It is slightly bulging at the equa
tor. It is a simple matter to show
proof tbat tbe earth Is round. When a
ship is approaching tbe shore, the first
parts to be seen are the top sails; as
she nears the bind the lower sails and
rigging come into view, and lastly tbe
hull appears. If the earth's surface
were flat tbe bull being tbe largest
part, would be seen first" Philadel

Tbe regular increase in the delta of the
Fo has been studied by Prof. Marinel-
li. Comparison of the Austrian map
of about 1823 with tbe records of sur
veys made in 1893 shows that the mean j
annual increase during those years has
been about three-tenths of a square
mile; and from all known data it ap
pears that the total increase during six
centuries has been about 193 square
miles. The inoease is continuing and
the Gulf of Venioe is doomed in time
to disappear. No immediate alarm
need, however, be excited, for Prof.
Marinelli calculates tbat between 100
and 120 centuries will elapse before the
entire Northern Adriatic will have be

It has been noticed tbat almost invar
iably when these coffee drinkers reach
the age of 40 or 45 their eyesight be
gins to fail them, and by tbe time they
get to be 50 yeais old they become
blind. One is forcibly impressed by
the number of blind men seen about

"Dkab Mrs. Pinkiiam: I owe my
life to your Vegetable Compound. Tho
doctors said I had consumption and
nothing could be done for me. My
menstruation had stopped and they
said my blood was turning to water. I
had several doctors. They all said I
could not live. I began the use of Lydla

and it helped me right away; menses
returned and I have gained in weight.
I hare better health than I have had for
years. It is wonderful what your Com
pound has done for me."

Mrs. Geo. Leach,

" Before I began to take your Vege
table Compound I was a great sufferer
from womb trouble. Menses would ap
pear two and three times In a month,
causing me to be so weak I could not
stand. I could neither sleep nor eat, and
looked so badly my friends hardly
knew me.
" I took doctor's medicine but did not
derive much benefit from it My drug
gist gave me one of your little books,
and after reading it I decided to try
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. I feel like a new person. I
would not give your Compound for all
the doctors' medicine in the world. I
ean not praise it enough."
