THE PLOT OF A PLAY.
How Sardou Cams to Write "Let

live or six tickets of n wlno company
which gave Its customers a voucher
for 20 centimes for every boltlu pur

ward he was the happy possessor of
h silver franc piece nnd souio sous be

Picking up n scrap of paper off the
winded lloor of the tobacco shop, ho
wns about to light his weed when tlio
words "ilnrlo Iiurent" enught his
oye. Tho "unconsidered trlllo" turned
out to be the fragment of n letter front
the well known actress to her son
Charles. Snrdou put his lliul In his
pocket, but on his way homo his
plot weaving faculties, stimulated by
tho fumes of the tobacco, at once re
asserted themselves.
"This is the Innocent letter of a
mother to her boy," ho said to himself.
"Supposing, however, It had been the
letter of a woman to her lover nnd,
falling by n similar accident Into the
hands of the woman's husband, wish

The Story Thit li Told of the English
Colonel Ournaby.
In tho biography of Colonel Fred
Iturnaby there Is u characteristic
story, told by his friend Lord lllnnlng,
of that soldier of herculean frame nnd
reckless courage:
We were engaged In n football
match on tho green Inside Windsor
cavalry barracks, and the verandas
were crowded with onlookers as the
colonel, dressed for London In frock
coat nnd tall hat, with n clgnr In his
mouth, came out of tho olllccrs' quar
ters nnd proceeded slowly across a
corner of the ground, apparently ob
livious of tho fact that a mulch was In
progress at the time. At this moment
our fullback, n gigantic Yorkshlreinaii
named Hales, who must have weighed
nearer llfteen than fourteen stone,
charging Impi'liioiiily for tho ball,
dashed full Into lluruaby. Tho Impact
wns terrlllc, but while the Yorkshlre
inaii, hurled backward by the shock ni
though he had collided with n moun
tain, lay gasping on tlio ground, neither
Iturnaby's hat nor tint nnglo of his
clgnr was In the smallest degree dis
turbed. In fuel, he scarcely seemed
to ronllxc that n collision had taken
place. When ho did so ho removed his
cigar from his mouth anil, with his
pleasant smile, said, "Dear me, I do
hope I nui not Interfering with the
game." The shout of delight which
went up from the verandas was n
thing to remember.
Studying, the Crowd.
"Thero doesn't seem to be nny dif
ferent between n crowded Inilti In
tlio morning nnd n crowded train nt
night, does Micro)" ipierleil a subway
traveler of hi companion. "Hut I
could distinguish one from the other
even If I had no Idea of tho hours."
"Ask tho guard)"
"No. All you need to do Is to mens
tiro tho Iiiij.t. of conversation. In tho
morning, when the crowd Is fresh mid
nu tho wny to business, the conversn- j
tlon Is nt least ten times In volume ,
whnt It Is nt night, when Iho crowd U

times nt night I'vo been In n crowded
car for ten minutes without hearing a
sound savo the rnttlo of newspapers
nnd nn oeciixlonal cough, That same

"At Trinity, Cambridge, tho great

CAUGHT THE BISHOP.
One 8urprlse That Wat the Forerun
ner of Another.
That wns n good old comedy bishop
who one fine day entered n large Jev
elcr's establishment In Hegent street
London, to make nn extensive purchaso
of valuable presents. He selected
thBm with great care ns regards their
nrtlstlc value, but tpilte regardless of
cost. Tho proprietor nnd his assist
nnts buzzed round hls lordship. Tho
selected valuables wcro packed In sep
arato parcels ot his suggestion, neatly
tied nnd sealed, nnd he lind Just taken
n scat In tho private olllco of tlio pro
prletor and was feeling In his pocket
for his check book when two men, who
had been peering In at tho glass door
leading to tlio street, walked up tlio
shop and stood behind tho bishop,
They were plolnly dressed, sharp look
lug men and thus bluntly addressed
tho Jeweler:
"Whnt has this man been ordering?'
The bishop looked up, saw tho men
turned pale, clutched the sides of tho
chair, dropped his glasses and looked
as If ho would bolt. Heforo ho could
stir, however, the handcuffs were on
his wrists,
"Hlshon. Indecdl" said ono of tho
men. "lie wns n colonel yesterday,
Hero, 'bishop,' come nlong to Vino
street. 'Illation.' Indeed! I In, ha!
Well, that's a good 'unt" And, turn
tug to the nstonlshed Jeweler, ho con
tlnucd: "Just copped him In time, sir
lucky for you. Oh, by tho wny, you
might get ono of your nsslstnnts to
bring round theso parcels ho Iibh bo
looted. Wo must outer tlioin nt tho
police station. Wo hnvo n cnb nt the
door. Wo hnvo been trncklng tho
hlshon nil tho morning."
Without n word tho "bishop" fol
lowed the detectives Into a cnb, nnd
nil three got In ns tho nsststnnt enmo
out with the valuables
"Here," said one of tho detectives
through tho window, "ploco thoso In
here- they will bo sofcr-nnd you get
on tho top with the driver."
It was not far to Vine street: but, ns
usual, tho tralllc was congested In Ox
ford circus, nnd tho cnb had to halt
occasionally. It was, however, soon nt
the police station. Tho nsslstant Jump
ed off tho driver's seat and opened the
door.

PRESENTIMENTS.
neldentt In Which Comlna Cvente
Cast Their Shadows Defore.
Coming events cast their shadows be
fore them. The writer Is led to be
lieve this because several Incidents In
tho lives of his parents corroborate
Iho theory that presentiments of good
nnd evil do conio to persons unawares
I will mention two of them.
in tho summer of 187- my father
lute nt night was returning to his farm
from the little town of Million. Ho
hud si ay ed unusually late. When he
reached the farm nil wns milot. Ite
moving the harness from his horse, ho
proceeded to tho carriage houso and
hung It In Its place,
Ho cnino out mid closed the door. Am
he did so ho heard tho ha mens full, It
was very dark. He went back Into the
Iioiino and found tho harness still hang
tug In Its place. Tho same occurrence
took place again, lie went back ngaln
nnd found It In Its place.
When the third ttmo ho heurd tho
noiind of falling harucsH. ho did not
go back.
Keveral weeks Inter tils barn burned,
ami It happened that tho sumo liar

staircase burned behind him, uud ho
wns compelled to Jump fur his Ufa
from a window. His previous expert

tlio harness, but nt the risk of his life,
Another vivid Incident I recall wns

THE BEY'S GUEST.
He Was Ready For the Emergency and
Conquerod the African.
A show of forco Is often tho best
kind of diplomacy. A writer In the
Pnrls Temps tells n story of tho Frcuch
ndmlrnl Uupetlt-Thounrs. who hnd
been intrusted with the mission of
cxnctltig reparation from nu African
bey who had Insulted a French consul
As Dupetlt-Thouars' demands were
supported by tho forclblo nrgumeiit of
londed cannon, tho boy acknowledged
thnt ho hnd been too hnsty nnd prof
fcred profuse npologlcs. jc even In
vited tho ndmlrnl to his tnblo and hnd
a sumptuous repast prepared for tils
guest.
The consul warned tho admiral to bo
on his guard.
"Tho bey Is Inclined to bo malicious,"
said he, "and when ho strokes his
beard nnd smiles you mny bo sure thnt
ho Is concocting somo mischief."
"Wo shall sec," wns Dupetlt-Thouars'
reply.
Ho reached tho bey's palace In good
time. Profuso compliments nnd sola
tntlons wero exchnnged. All nt once
tho admlrnl's foot met somo soft,
hnlry substnnco lying on tho carpet un
der the table. Ho bent down nnd saw
a hugo Hon showing his formidable
teeth. Tho bey smiled nnd stroked his
beard
Dupctlt-Thounrs did not wlnco, but
cnllcd bis dragoman.
"My pistols," wns nil he snld
Tho servant saluted, retired nnd
brought back n pair of pistols on a
silver trny. Tho ndmlrnl took thctn
nnd placed them on tho tnblo beforo
li I tu. Hut tho bey, still smiling, contln
lied to stroke his patriarchal beard.
"Tell tho commander," ho snld to
tho drngomnn, "thnt If thoso pistols are
for tho purpose of blowing out my
lion's brains they nro qulto Insufficient
nnd perfectly useless."
Then, llko n skilled fencer counter
ing his opponent's thrust, nfter tho
boy's Ironical advlco had boon trans
lated Dupotlt-TlioitarM replied:

Tho smile died nwny on tho bey's
lips, nnd ho no longer stroked his
bennl.
"My lion," said ho, "Is too well train
ed even to scratch one of mr uucsts.
but slnco ho Is not wanted ho shall bo

At n word from tho bey the lion
slowly and heavily left tho room, like

"Why did they go out)"

OUR
BARGAIN COUNTER
Wc have n number of articles on hand which we arc
desirous of disposing of. They were purchased by the
former management to be given out as premiums on
subscriptions, but as the solicitors invariably prefer
cash commission instead of premiums, they arc now
placed oisalc at a bargain.
Wc have a limited number of shears that retail
in any store at not less than $1.00 per pair. They arc
guaranteed for five years, and have a thumb screw on
the back which prevents them from becoming loose.
Drop in and examine a pair. Bargain price,
Per pair - 50c
A small number of nickel silver spoons, guaran
teed to be composed of the same metal throughout,
easily worth $1.25 anywhere. Bargain price,
Per set .... 75c
Two gold jewel cases, $3.50 value, bargain sale
Each - - - - $2.00
A handsome set of silver knives and forks, value
$3-75 bargain price, - - - $2.50
A $2.00 carving set goes nt this sale for $1.25
A beautiful gilt alarm clock worth $2.00, bargain
price - - - - - $1.25
Gilt ninntel clock worth $3.25, can be had for $3.
A very fine 26-piccc set of Rogers' silverware,
worth from $10 to $12, will be placed on sale at $6.25
All of these arc genuine bargains, nnd outside of
the shears and spoons wc have only one set of each
variety, so if you are looking for anything in this line
it would be wise to take advantage of this opportunity.
A careful inspection of each article 'is invited. When
these are disposed of 110 more shall be ordered, as the
jewelry business is not in our line.
