THE MUMMY
NECKLACE.
f l y HB mummy necklace was a
quaint, rougn tiling, more quuui
than beautiful, yet with A certain
plcturesqueness, and an undemaDie
fascination, aire mate bead of cornel
tan and gold, and two tiny hearts hang
ing from the the central beads.
My father gays It me one day, know
ing I had fancy for these out-of-the-way
Jewels. 1 do not know Its history,
but waa told It had been taken oft the
neck of a mummy.
From the moment It waa given me
Its curious fascination overcame me.
I wore It day and night I fancied It
would bring me luck. I certainly felt
tiny soft pinches on my neck made by
the beads. This I wondered at lor a
time, but afterward grew too accus
tomed to them to wonder. There were
curious marks on the beads; tbey wero
chipped off or Indented. Here and
there were dark stains.
From the moment I began to wear
the necklace mj health failed. I grew
weaker and weaker, and at last fell
seriously 111. Naturally I did not dream
of connecting my Illness in any way
with the influence of my mummy neck
lace. On the contrary, I clung to It
more and more, believing It to be a tal
isman. I was lying on my sofa one day, when
a friend, wbo bad observed my neck
lace then for the Drat time, aald, "Why
do yon wear thatj It Isn't pretty. Let
me look at It"
She held It a moment and then shiv
ered.
O, It's a horrible thing! Don't wear
It It will bring yon dreadful Ill-luck.
I believe those are the marks of teeth
and the stains of blood!"
I said, "It bewitches me. I can't bear
to part with It, and I wear It day and
night"
Another friend of mine took a dislike
to It She waa a believer In magic of all
sorts, and was persuaded that the neck
lace had made me 111 and was prevent
ing my recovery.'
Ye," she sstd, "It haa an Influence
that I believe bnt for evil
At last aba perauaded me to let ber
take It to a clairvoyant A certain cob
bler la a suburb of London waa the
clairvoyant we chose. He and I had
had strange experiences some time be
fore this, bnt aa Bndyard Kipling says,
that fas g not her atory."
I parted wich the necklace reluctant
ly. My friend promised to arrange an
Interview with the cobbler the next
day. If poaalble.
That night I faatened my pearl neck
lace on, missing the feeling of the
mammy chain.
I lay awake aft night I was not al
lowed a sleeping draft, and I had
coughed till 1 was exhausted, bnt not
leepy. ,
Towards dawn my nurse shut th
door between ber room and mine. I re
member observing the light coming
through the empty keyhole of her door,
snd each side of my dark blinds.
The rain beat loudly on the windows.
I lay listening to the weary sound.
Suddenly my wrist was seized and
violently shaken; the bangles I wore,
bung with talismans, rattled and Jin
gled together. Another moment and
my throat was seised by tightly clutch
ing, strong hands.
I said to myself: "This la death, and
It Is terrible." -f- t
Still the clutch tightened. My pearl
necklace was shaken. Even then I
thought: "The pearls win be scattered."
Then the thought came swift and
horrible:
"He has come for bis necklace." (He.)
The next flash of thought was, "This,
Is a straggle of thousands of years ago
being re-enacted. Death Is terrible. If
only I conld call for help! If only I
could apeak V But the fingers clutched
my throat too tightly.
And then I opened my eyes and saw
a great gray formless thing. It lay
stretched out on my bed, and through
It I saw the light shining through the
empty keyhole.
Even then, ' through my terror, I
thought: "Shall I be believed when I
tell them to-morrow? Yes, It must be
true, because I bear the rain beating
on the window-pane all the time."
And all the time the clutching and
the struggling never ceased npon my
throat I seemed to be so near to
death that straggling on my part was
useless. It waa. at that supreme mo
ment I realized most distinctly tbs
horror of the great gray, transparent
thing. Al my soul went out Into a cry
for help to someone stronger than the
thing; and then It moved. It lifted,
melted away Into a gray mist disap
peared. , ..... :;.,,;.'....',
Then I sat np In bed; lit a candle,
which I never dared put out again; ob
served the hour by my watch between
4 and S; and lay back, stricken, ex
hausted, trembling .longing for some-
j thing human to come and draw np the
. blinds, and let In even the wet, dismal
daylight rather tban lie alone with the
I memory of my midnight horror.
I Two days after this my friend wbo
had taken the necklace to the clalrroy
, ant came, bringing It back with her la
A stakd atavtilcpe, bcs.'lng ice not to
touch it. . . (
fche gave me an account of her Inter
view before 1 told her my experience.
Tbe clalrvovcnt in his trance, bad
berr-nia Mrmwrtnily excited when she
placed tbe necklace In bis bands. He
paced about ths room, then nung niui
vlf on tb door, saying, "Dying, dying!
I see autumn leaves everywhere thst
Is death. O, tell her never to touch It
again. It Is aa accursed thing. It be
longed to an Egyptian king thousands
of year ago. Blood and warfare toi
lowed bl footstep, He wore It. It
has never been on a woman's neck be
fore, II knew she wore It, and when
be missed It from ber pock he was
angry. He want his necklace sgain.
She mast not wear It It will be death
to ber. But even now abe may be saved
If she never wears It or even touchee It
asaln." ;'-
1 left off wearing that necklace and
Anally parted with It, for Ill-luck waa
my lot a long as It was in my posses
sion.
That Is tbe true story of th mummy
necklace as far as I am concerned. I
have never seen my terrible visitor
again. Will be come again aome day
and ask what I have done with his
necklace f Lady's Bealin.

out an Alpine garden at Moutreaux, at
an elevation of lx thousand feet.
where the characteristic trees and flow
ers ot the country are to be cultivated.
8teel rails now figure a tbe cheapest
finished product In wrought Iron or
steel. A good lesson on tbe finance
of modern Industry Is also afforded by
them. To establish a steel-rail works,
an expenditure of $3,000,000 Is required
before a single rail can be turned oat
The Bteel 1 made to conform to an ac
curate chemical composition tbe most
accurate In tbe ordinary range of tech

In Arixona a railroad company la ths
builder of a dam to form a reservoir
for water for tba supply of the locomo
tives. Tbe dam la curious In being
formed partly of steel plates. A ma
sonry foundation runs across tbe bot
tom of tbe gap, snd masonry abutments
are built on each side, and the center
and main portion la a ateel frame faced
with ateel plates. Tbe plates are bent
to give them stlffnea. Th steel por
tion Is 100 feet long and forty feet high,
equal to tbe front of a block of low
city houses. Tbe pistes are three
eighths of an Inch thick.
TIMING OP A RAILWAY TRAIN.
There Are reveral Wave of Aecertala-
. Ins; the Speed Mad.
Not one person in a hundred wbo
travela baa any Idea of ths speed ot a
train, and even a large percentage of
the regular trainmen cannot tell with
any degree of accuracy. Engineers nse
their driving wheel as a gauge. They
know Its clrcnmmerence, and by
counting It revolutions within a cer
tain time can tell very accurately the
speed at which they are running.
A favorite method of timing among
passengers Is to count tbe telegraph
poles. As a rule these poles are planted
thirty to the mile, but In prairie coun
tries, where only a single wire Is used,
ths number diminishes to twenty-five,
so that rule will not always work. The
moat accurate method, and tbe most In
use by experienced railroad men, la to
count tbe number of rail Joints tba
train passes over In twenty seconds.
The rails on nearly all roads are thirty
feet In length, and tbe number passed
over In twenty seconds Is the speed
per hour a train is running.
For Instance, If a passenger can
count thirty clicks on a rail joint In
twenty seconds, tbs train Is running at
a speed of thirty mles an hour. Actu
ally, this method falls a little short, aa
In the example given above tbe speed
would be nearer thirty-one than thirty
miles, but It Is near enough for all prac
tical pnrposes.
' Balloons i War.
During tbe expedition to tbe Soudan
the balloon corps were of Immense ser
vice In disclosing tbe position and tac
tic of tbe enemy.. In on particular
Instance tbe Soudanese attacked Gen.
MacNelll's cereba (earthworks), estab
lished to protect the environs of Sua
klm, near TamaL- Tbe attack took
place daring tb nlgbt, and before help
could arrive most of th British sol
diers were hors d combat, although
they just managed to keep the sere ha
from falling Into the hand of the ene
my. After this Maj. Temple made sev
eral ascents with hi captive balloon
and detected the enemy In tbe bush
preparing to make another attack,
while the force In th xereba, thinking
that tbey bad quite retired, were total
ly off guard.
Col. Tempter says that th sight of
th balloon has a very demoralizing
effect upon the natives of these coun
tries, since tbey cannot And cover from
them to hide their movements, for even
at night they are easily detected from
the balloons by means of the powerful
electric searchlights carried In the car.
These natives are lb the habit of crying
out that tbey cannot Aght agalnat
troops re-enforced with "young moons."

Women's Skulls tbe Cheaper.
A medical student Is authority for the
statement that women's skulls com
mand a much lower price than those of
men. "It Is possible," he says, "to ob
U.n tbe skull of a woman for $1.50,
while that of a man cannot be had for
less than $2. Tb reason why? Weil,
a woman's skull, as a rule. Is consider
ably smaller tban a man's. It Is said
to be Imperfectly developed; It Is an
inferior specimen of the . article and
altogether less useful to science; hence
It lowee market value,"
