FISTS FLY. Bj JOHN L SULLIVAN, niuktrated bj H, BQTTHOf. (Copyright All rlglita reerve Milwiu't theatre was thronKed with tlie beauty, wealth and fashion of Sun Frunolsco. There was not a tout vacant, and even ktAnding room was at a premiuui. Honry Honahiill, moody and discon tented, occupied a proscenium box alone. His bride of K few days was at the hotel, forifotton by hor husband. It was to bo the last appearance of his divinity, and although he had tried every possible and impossible way of meeting her, if only for a few minut"3, he had failed. That night he hud determined to speak to her at all hazards. Early in the evening he stationetl him self at the stage entrance, and there patiently awaited her arrival. It wanted but fifteen minutes to 8 o'clock when she drove up in a modest hansom. She steppod lightly out, and glancing neither right nor left bolted for the door. Her fame was so, great that there was a crowd waiting on the sidewalk to catoii a glimpse of her face, aud no one paid any particular attention to the haggard young man In evening dres. among them until he suddenly pushed forward and attempted to lay a detaining hand on the young lady's arm. She did not notice the movement lie cause, quick as he was, there was another quicker, and before he could touoh her a big, well dressed man stepped quickly forward, and with no gentle hand dragged Henshall back Into the crowd, saying gruflly and fiercely: "Must not block the passageway. 'Gainst the rules, see?" "What the devil I say, lot me go, will yon? I must see that lady. I know her. Do you hear? Who the dovil are you, anyway?" gasped Ueushall struj gltng in the grasp of his captor. The latter smiled sneeringly and held the yonng man easily until the fair vio linist had passed through the stage door. Then he released him, remaj'kinar: "I know yon know hor, you blackguard, and I know aha loft orders thut abe wlthnd to ana no one, aud leant of all you. If we could only ludtice h?r to make a complaint nualtist you I would take the gmitont dollght In putting yon behind the bant, you scoundrel. Aa you have aaknd for my name I will give yon my card. Ure it la," and he handed the artUt a plain white, piece of paste board stamped; ! JIM HUKSH, i 1 lMoetlv I'ulfco, Central Ofdi'a, ; To any that Ilonshall was itrprinii would lie putting It mildly, lie was so Indignant and MtotilKhed by the big de tective's tirade that he could only liston In helpless ainazoiiif lit. He took the. card mechanically And aakrd stupidly : "Hhe said she didn't want to see met Why, she don't know me." Dunn laughod aarcnHticully as he turned away, saying; "ItauMuTber, young fullnw, Til keep my eyes on you," and before Henshall could guthrr liis wits sufllciont to de mand an explanation Dunn had disap peared. The young arlint found himself in ridiculous ptMition, the contor of a guy ing mob, when ho did recover himself. "Out on to the JohmiioP "Piede patent leathers?' "He would be a mash er, would hi?" and other tnch uncoiu pliilientary allusions were showered on him, so he hastily went anmnd to the front of the hi matt and pushed his way to his box, dotormi'ied at the first op portunity of having an explanation "with Mr. Jim Hums, detective." Two minutt aftor he had gone away from the stage entrance a red headed meswuigi'r Iniy ahovexl his way through the crowd that still lingered there. Ho rapped loudly at the door for ad mittance, while those around regarded him curiously, and many asked him, "What's up?" "Nuthin'," was his nonchalant reply. AIW a delay of several minutes the stage door was cautiously opened a few Inches, and a portion of the good Mat ured Teutonic countenance' of Hurr Op- per het-aine visible. Seeing the boy in timfonn he admit- ted him at once, asking: "Message? For whomr Without any undue haste, and mak ing no reply, the lad nnliottoned his jacket, shoveil his left hand carefully into his inside coat pocket and pulled out a book. Opening this carefully be took out a message addressed to "Miss Louise Ne ville, Baldwin's theatre, urgent," and handed it to the impatient manager. As he saw, tho address the latter turued aa if to hurry away, but the Im perturablo messenger caught him by the coat tail, shoved his little black covered book in his face and said: "8ign, please. And say, give a fellow a ticket, will yer?" ttU a smothered ex'ration the wor thy Opper signed for tho message, aud never heetling the boy's other reqnest rushetl off with the telegram tohis star's dressiug room. As he approached it he heard the low, sweet strains of ''Home, Sweet Home" played with a touch on the violin which made it fairly seem to speak. i The music ceased abruptly as he knocked for admission, and the door was opened by Miss Neville, who gaked at her manager in a startled way. "Oh, Mr. Opper, is it time to go on? I had no idea that I was late." "Von are not late. The curtain will not go up for ten minutes yet, but this dispatch just arrived and I thought it best to bring it to you at once." The girl s face turned deathly juilu. "Let me have it," she gasped. He handed her the little yellow packet She tow the envelope hurriedly, and it needed bnt a glanco to master the con tents: "Come at once. Your father is thing. "Da. WatsoV." She did not totter and fall, but like a thoroughbred sho held her queenly little head up high and said, quite calmly: "I am sorry to forfeit my engagement, Mr. Opper," she said, "but I must leave you now at once. My father is dying. Iteatl," and she held out the message to him. "Hum, all!" remarked Opper. Much as ho admired his fair attrac tion he did not like to lose the night's money, even if he had already earned a big purse through her. Still, in the presence of death ho thought it best to throw nn the sponge, hoping by agreeing amiably to arrango for her reappearance later on. In addition ho had conceived a sincere and fatherly interest in the luuely girl, and so ho submitted to the inevitable and said quite cheerfully: "Well, I sup pose you must go, my dear. 'lit there is an awful big house. I don't know what we can do. i ou must go alono, 1 suppose. I could not get away to-night, and you would not wait until to-morrow. How long has ' your father been ia Chicago?" 'I did not know he was there until I received this telegram, which is sent from there," she answered, as she begun to collect her few belongings. "Well, wait a minute," cried Opper, suddenly rushing out. Ho found Jim Burns around in the lobby of the theatre and quickly ex plained matters to him. 'I am going to close the house ana re turn the money to-night, but I want to get Miss Neville safely off first: and now, Jim, yon must follow her. I don t know why, but I mistrust the telegram. ill you go? Name your own terms.". 'I ll go," stud Burns, "but I must ex plain to the chief." i "There is no time. Leate that to me. Hell refuse mo nothing. Get a cab and have it at the aide door. First let the girl know you are following her. When liA m,fji In tlA r-M.li- vrm bavA another line ready and follow. A train goes in tweu- ty minutes." "That duck you told me to watch is inside. You'd better not say where the girl is going," said Burns. "I won't," and with a hearty shaking of hands the men parted. Five minutes later, heavily veiled, Louise Neville emerged from the stage door and entered tho cab awaiting her. As she drove off Burns got into another cab, ordering the' driver to follow the first. Meantime Opper was going through the most difficult ordeal known to the theatrical manager, that of trying to acoonnt for tho non-appearance of his star. "Ladies and gentlemen," he said, glancing at the vast audience apprehen sively, "Miss Neville cannot appear to night. Illness in her family. Her father dying. Message from Chioago to-night." - Then he paused abruptly, remember, ing that he bad given her destination away, and glanced at the, box occunled by llenshall. The latb-r had hoard enough, news. leaving bis mix like a flash, so the good hearted manag'tr concluded his apologies with a nmh, saying, "Horry to disappoint you, iii'tie and guiitJemmi, and sorry to lose the door money, but ti will be all rnl timed at tho box office, and I hops never to dis;iiK)iut yon again, and ba- liuve me your true and personal friend, Opper." Then he rushed off the stage, deter mined to roll UeTishall at all hazards. "Assl dolt!"' wore the pet names he called uitnseir as be" rushed out and jumped into hack, commanding th. driver, "l,uion depot, triple fare. As he hail surmised, Henshall was driving the same way and just as fast in another conveyance. He did not know if his Ideal woman had already started for Chicago or not, but he was Umnd to go there and find her. . He rushed into the depot and bought a ticket, and was told that a train would leave in two niiunte.. He jumped aboard and rushed hastily through tue can. At last his heart gave a great jump and then nearly stopped beating. He saw her In forward car, her shnpoly bend mating in a pathetic way on one little gloved band. Then indeed Henshall lost hit reason, aud knew that the woman before him was the woman he truly loved. Forgetful alike of prudence and com mon sense he walked rapidly toward him and bid his hand on her shoulder. "Pardon me. Miss Neville. U yon knew how much T want to talk to you, how much I have to say to youl I know you are in danger!" The lust word he whispered, as there were others about. The girl could not see his face dis tinctly. She feared all strangers, so she arose and said icily: "Please go away. I do not know you, sir." : She had no need to say any more. Burns had been just a little neglectful or else Henshall never would have got as near her as he had. But the big de tective determined to atone for his neglect. He applied fist, boot and his magnifi cent strength to the painter's anatomy, and rushed him through the car like a whirlwind, and out on the platform. Henshall was not a coward. Twice had he been baffled by this burly fellow, and now he determined to fight him. The scrap ensued then and there. The wrup ciuttifd then and thtre. Henshall knew how to use his dukes, and he did valiantly. ' Burns, although a powerful man, knew little of the science of boxing, so his lighter antagonist ptmimeled him well with three or four straight from the shoulder before he got a chance to close with him and overpower him. Just then Opper, hot and indignant, piled through the crowd pell mell, shouting: . , "Hold him! Hold the scoundrel! Arrest hliu!" During the excitement the train rolled away and the girl was gone alone, with no oue of the three men, all so anxiously desirous of aiding her, near her. Burns was savage. To seve-al police men who quickly gathered he displayed his badge, and then, summoning a cab aud accompanied by Opper, he took Henshall a prisoner to police headquar ters. -'-. There Opper told the chief that the painter was a scoundrel who had been pursuing and annoying his star. - The charge was so ridiculous that Hen shall laughed aloud. Then, in bitter tones, he turned to Opper aud said: "You fool, if you had only come to me like a man I would have cleared up your unjust suspicions," Ho then explained the case in full, claiming only a chivalrous interest in the girl. He hud uo little trouble in proving the truth of his statement, but he finally did, with the assistance of Mrs. Smith. Mutual explanations ensued, and he and Burns shook hands and were friends, fighting for the same cause. "I start for Chicago to-night," said Henshall, careless of everything. "And I am with you," said Burns. By the midnight train Burns and Hen shall were speeding toward Chicago, de termined to aid Louise Neville to the ut most of their power. (Continued next week.) Talleyrand's ltemarkabl Career. Talleyrand has been dead fifty-two rears. The first volumes of the memoirs he left are issued. He himself forbade their publication until thirty years after his death, and at that date his literary executors found a further postponement necessary. He was thought to be the depository of more secrets than any other man of his day, with grt a er power over the reputations of more men, living and dead. Naturally these memoirs were loug awaited with a singular mixture of curiosity aud alarm. The career these memoirs portray was and remains unparalleled in modern Europe for length and variety of dis tinguished service. Beginning with Louis XVI, from whom he received his first appointment, and from whom he went later wi th a letter to the king of England, TullevTand served in all eight known masters besides a great number of others who were at one time or another said to have him secretly in their pay. He became president of tho Constituent assembly which organized the French revolution. Ho was sent to London on a secret mission with a passport from Dan ton. He waa minister of foreign affairs under the directory, under the consulate, under Lonia XVIII and under Louis Philippe. . ' ' in diplomatic skill r.nd success contem porary public opinion held him the first man of his period that is to s:iy, for half a century the first man in Europe. As to real influence on affairs, it is doubt ful if any minister since can be said to have exerted as much, with the execu tions onfy of Bismarck and Cavonr, Even they did not cover so wide a range, or deal with snch a bewildering variety of negotiations, extending over so great a time, and furthering th. view, of e many masters.

Preoccupation with personality is cer tainly an American possibly more or lees a generally modern trait; but our present orgy of compliment is, I think, a new variant of it And it cannot be that we are becoming Frenchified to the point of social Insincerity for the mere sake of moral perversity. The truth probably Is that as we progress in social civilization or perhaps better, aa social civilization spreads increasingly and penetrate, our bewildering and encour aging succession of nouvellea couch the desire to make one's self agreeable, instead of merely important, ia increas ing proportionately. Now, amenity as an art U a difficult one. To succeed in it demand, either, the "certain felicity" which Bacon af-j firmed to be necessary to the painter! who would improve npon nature, or that! long course of social civilization where by tradition1 eecurt the sinking of ef fort in unconsciousness, and the substi tution of inherited for acquired capaci ties. In the absence of either of these advantages it is the shortest rather than the wisest road to the end of being agree able that is pretty sure to be taken, and the groaao modo pursuit of, as I said, the line of least resistance results in an amount and degree of personal flattery at the present moment which are alto gether notable. We have probably not yet wholly emancipated ourselves from the wish to be appreciated, as well as to be agree able. On the contrary, when w. praise our friends for their qualities or their performances in the blank and stark way sanctioned no doubt by our unques tioned sincerity, but dictated perhaps by an imperfect taste, it is probable that with our motive of being agreeable Is very subtly associated a desire to be deemed discerning. We act on the as sumptionso tacit, to be sure, a. to be unconscious that the fact of our appre ciation of them attests to them acute-' ness in us. Our well known and uni versally acknowledged genuineness that heirloom inherited from the savage, of the Elbe and Weser marshes pre vents our perspicacity in these circum stances from' being distrusted. Scrib ner's. Th Walk of th Farmer. It is well known that country folk, from being so constantly on their feet, are usually blessed with understandings of more generous proportions than those of their city cousins, who, tempted by the facilities for rapid transit, too often deny themselves sufficient exercise. This applies more particularly to the men. I have seen some country bred maidens with the neatest, slenderest and most dapper little feet in the world. But then they don't plow from dawn to sunset. As a rule, however, a countryman can be detected in a city by the size of his extremities. Following the plow, too, naturally in duces a jerkiness of gait a peculiar un certainty about the body's motion, which only a long residence in a city can en tirely remove. In the man from the districts where the land ia still very rough these marks of his calling are ac centuated. Where the land is full ot burnt stumps and rocks plowing requires . considerable strength and more skill, and the continual bracing up of the plow in the furrows has a tendency to make the farmer get into the habit of walking with his legs wide apart, as in this position he obtains greater con trol over the plow and maintains his equilibrium. Detroit Free Press. Tha Aga of Woman's Rifhta. The century's closing decade may bring to woman a far wider and fuller entry into her domain. It is but a little over four decades less than forty-two years ago since the meeting of the first woman's rights convention. The women who did the pioneer work, making not only that convention but all that has followed it of right and justice to wom en a possibility, are some of them still with us. Those of them who have "gone over to the majority" went thither with in the full memory of a generation now living and working. The names of Lu cretia Mott, of Angelina and Sarah Grimke, of Frances D. Gage, of Abby Kelly Foster, of Sojourner Truth, born a slave and rightfully coming to wear the title of the "Libyan Sibyl," were but a few years ago answered to on earth by their possessors. - Today they may be well written on every woman's golden roll of remembrance of the dead.

An F street attorney relates that he received an application for a pension from a country lawyer in Michigan re cently, in which the claimant signed his name as "Daniel 0. Connell." In subse quent papers filed he wrote it "Daniel O'Connell." The attorney wrote to the lawyer to report whether the name waa O'Connell or Connell. The provincial Blackstone retorted in what he evidently considered a very sarcastic letter, wind ing up with this bit of bucolic wit, "The name is O'Connell, as any fool might know; bnt what difference does it make, anyhow, whether you say, 'Mc Carthy, come out of the house, or come out of the house, McCarthy?
