BABY DONKEYS.
A Pair of Popular Pets In Golden Gate
Park, San Francisco.
The children have two new pets out
at Golden Gate park. There are two
brand new baby donkeys that are
brought out for an hour or two daily to
the playground, and when they are there
nothing else in the park attracts any at
tention at all from the children.
The donkeys are not much bigger than
San Joaquin valley jack rabbits, and
each one wears a pair of ears many sizes
too large for him. They are very socia
ble and enjoy being petted by the little
folks, but the attention they have at
tracted has sort of spoiled them. When
they get tired of being fondled, they are
just as likely as not to kiok the nearest
child with the most malevolent inten
tion in the world. The kick of one of
the baby donkeys is a trifle more seri
ous than a slap from a chicken might
be, and nothing pleases the young don
key worshipers more than to provoke
one of these manifestations of displeas
ure. Of course nobody thinks of har
nessing or saddling the little donkeys
yet. They could as well think of hitch
ing a couple of lambs.
They have not been named yet, and
they look so much alike that only their
closest acquaintances among the chil
dren know them apart. They are given
into Mr. Murphy's charge, Mr. Murphy
being the superintendent of the chil
dren's playground, for a very short time
every day except Sundays. The excep
tion is made because the wise people to
whom the future of the young donkeys
ha been intrusted do not think that they
would be able to stand the excitement
and petting they would get from a Sun
day crowd of children. As it is, they
are surrounded all the time that they
are in the playground by obildren, and
the funny woolly little beasts with the
long ears and wrinkled noses are already
threatened with dyspepsia from the in
ordinate quantity of peanuts, popcorn
and candy that has been smuggled to
' them.
Up to date the donkeys, in addition
to accepted edibles, have devoured sev
eral dozen pockets and quite a number
of pinafores.
The little beasts get quite tired out
with the excitement and the fondling,
and then they are led away to a stable,
followed by a wistful lot of children.
The idea of bringing them to the play-
ground is to accustom them to children,
so that when their time shall come to
haul the little carts or be saddled up
there will be no difficulty. San Fran

Improving; the Flavor.
"I don't like this soup. It is not
good. " And a little boy laid down his
spoon.
"Very well, then," said his mother,
"you need not eat it "
That afternoon the little boy had to
go with his father to weed the garden.
It was very warm, and they worked
until supper time. Then they went into
the house, and the mother brought the
boy a plate of soup.
"That's good soup, mother, "he said,
and he ate every bit.
"It is the very same soup you left at
dinner today. It tastes better now be
cause you have earned your supper.

THE BALLET SKIRT.
It la a Fussy Frilled Petticoat and May
Be Adapted to Ordinary Wear.
The fussy frilled petticoat known as
the ballet skirt is now worn by fashion
able women under evening and dance
gowns, but nearly reaching the ground.
First, there is a close fitting yoke of
muslin, which is cut in four parts and
reaches well below the average corset
and very much below the short corset
worn for skirt dancing. On to this yoke
is set in full gathers or flat plaits a
wide skirt of the muslin, edged with a
frill of laoe put on slightly full. This
skirt reaches from the yoke to the full
depth required, and over it at the B
line another skirt is simulated by a deep
frill, also edged lace, and put on so
that the bottom edge is half an inch
above the edge of the under lace, thus
giving an extra full and ample effect
When worn, so wide is this skirt that
it gives the appearance of a multitude
of lace petticoats, and the dancer usual
ly catches the center with a safety pin
or a few stitches about 10 or 12 inches
below the yoke and practically converts
it into a divided bkirt These ballet
skirts are also made for ordinary wear
in dark silk.
A Distinguished Woman Oculist.
Dr. Charlotte Ellaby, opthalmio sur
geon to the London New Hospital For
Women, Euston road, has won no small
personal distinction by her late achieve
ment At the request of H. H. the Jam
Sahib of Jamnagar, Dr. Ellaby went
lately to India in order to operate upon
the maharani for cataract Both eyes
were operated upon in turn, and both
operations were completely successful.
A correspondent in India says: 'The ma
harani is naturally delighted at recov
ering her sight, and her Joy is shared
by all her household, as well as by the
English women who have the pleasure
of the acquaintance of one of the most
charming ot the Rajput ladies, beloved
for her genial manners and esteemed
for ber unaffected and sincere piety. "
Dr. Ellaby's .services were retained at
the suggestion of Mr. and Mrs. W. S.
McClelland, who, for long years resi

and trusted friends to whom his high

There are often good fashions grow
ing out of national disasters. At the
time of the French revolution the style
of wearing the hair high on the head
was begun and was designated as "a la
guillotina " Apropos of this the fashion
of the present has entirely done away
with the idea that one must appear in a
fresh toilet every time one goes to a
function of any sort. Mrs.' Cleveland
and the ladies of the cabinet set the ad
mirable example last winter of wearing
the same gown as often as the humor
dictated. At the White House receptions
Mrs. Olney, Mrs. Carlisle and indeed
all of the cabinet ladies have worn the
same gown more than once and have
even resuscitated the toilets of last year
and subjected them to some brightening
up and alteration, which, though per
haps not apparent to the ordinary ob
server, has not escaped the eye of those
who know the gowns and the women

society writer to state that "Mrs. Blank

IMPERIAL MILLIONS
By JULIAH EAWTHOME.
Ooprrlght. 1881. by American Press
tlon.1
Evidently he had crawled from his bed
and stolen on Keppel with the intention of
stabbing biin, but just before be conld
accomplish his purpose the specter by
which he imagined himself haunted had
intervened. The mai was dead. The
candle flickered and died out. Keppel
made a spring for the other candle, but
remembered that he had no matches.
He could not stay with the body in the
darkness, so he made his way to the
open air. The morning sky was clear,
the eastern horizon a pala yellow. He
paced up and down before the house till
the sun rose, his mind full of gloomy
thoughts. Horror and misery pursue
him everywhere. He had the revolvei
in his pocket; why not use it on himself
and end all? He paused, debating the
question, but finally shook his head. He
had had so many escapes lately that he
persuaded- himself he might have been
preserved for a purpose. The unclouded
sun, rising over the blue verge of the
distant ocean, was an omen of hope. He
turned, and reluctantly re-entered the
house.
The sunlight fell upon the corpse as il
lay there. Keppel set resolutely to work.
He straitened out the arms and legs
and rolled up the body in a blanket from
the bed. He tied it round with a piece
of rope from the fishnet. It was now
ready for burial. But how was he to dig
a grave? He had no spade. Yet the body
could not be left above the ground; it
might breed a pestilence. This reflection
led to another. - If the man had died oi
yellow fever 'all his clothing must hold
the contagion and should be burned.
Keppel resolved to do this at once. Th
coat and trousers were lying on a stool
at the head of the . bed. He took them
up, and some papers slipped from the
pocket and fell on the floor. He ex
amined them, at first indifferently, thee
with more interest There was a pass
port with several vises upon it, showing
a journey through Egypt, India, Aus
tralia and Panama. There were several
letters, apparently from persons of high
authority in Paris, recommending the
bearer, Maurice Solange, to the good of
fices of foreign consuls. It appeared,
moreover, that Maurice must have been
a personage of some importance, or, at
any rate, that he had been intrusted
with an important mission. These let
ters of recommendation could have been
delivered only by the French emperor's
authority.
But the nature of the mission was not
specified in the papers. It even seemed
as if this non-specification had been care
fully intended. There was a reason,
then, for keeping the thing secret a
secret of state.
Was it likely, however, that the poor
wretch, whose body lay yonder awaiting
burial, would murder a man for the sake
of a secret of state? Nothing was less
likely. What good could the secret do
the murderer? Was it a . thing he could
sell? Some secrets were salable, no doubt.
But Maurice, an authorized agent on his
way to America, must have been coming
to impart the secret to the government
here; therefore no sale could have been
contemplated Besides, the dead man
had said something about a treasure
millions of money. That might have
been the mere ravings of insanity; but
possibly it was not. A murder commit
ted for millions of money was compre
hensible, and this would account for the
murderer's strange behavior. On the
other hand, if those millions had been
stolen, where were they? Were they
about the premises?
Keppel Darke had never heretofore re
garded money as a supreme object of
ambition. But things were changed
with him now. He was an outeaset from
society; mankind was hostile to him; in
the unequal contest he was disposed to
improve whatever advantages came in
his way. If, then, millions of money
were within his reach he was not in a
mood to let them escape.
Here Keppel gave a short laugh. The
millions probably had no existence what
ever, except in the imagination of an in
sane man.
He turned over the papers once more.
Among them was one small document,
folded square, that he did not remember
noticing before. He was about to pass
it over, but an idle impulse caused him
to change his mind and open it. The
odd aspect of its contents attracted his
attention.
It looked something like a long stim in
algebra. There were columns anil com
binations of letters. There were also
written words in the French language.'
For several minutes Keppel contem
plated the paper without a suspicion of
its significance. It was not a sum in al
gebra. There were no equations; no x
or y, no powers or signs. It might be a
memorandum in shorthand or cipher.
Yes, it was probably a cipher memoran
dum. But it was not all in cipher. The
words seemed to be a comment or ex
planation. -
"It strikes me," said Keppel to him
self, ."that I've seen something like this
somewhere. 'C. Kphl. S. lnmp.' That
looks familiar."
All at once he began to feel in his
pockets with signs of excitement.
Here it was the newspaper cutting,
containing the cipher letter found on the
person of Harry Trent after his death.
Keppel spread it out on his knee and
compared it with the anomalous docu
ment. In a moment he uttered a cry of
surprise surprise that his wild anticipa
tion had been fulfilled.
The cipher of the letter and the cipher
of the document were identical. But
the latter was the key to the former and
the explanation of it, and by its aid Kep
pel could read the -mysterious communi
cation as easily as he could construe
French.
. , CHAPTER VIIL
DISAPPEARANCE.
Cipher writing is so ancient an arl
that there is little or nothing to be said
about it, and perhaps there are no new
cipher types to be invented. The ideal !
cipher is one that is easily written -and
read by those in the secret, and yet it
practically undecipherable by outsiders.
In such a cipher all the time and labor are
expended upon determining its funda
mental principles of construction. Once
those are settled, the practical working
of it is simple.
The cipher which Keppel was dealing
with was of this . species, and perhaps
no more nearly perfect one was evei
made. It was based upon the philo
sophic structure of language, and upen
the mathematical principle that gives
different values or meanings to a char-

acter according to its place in a combi
nation. This plan enables words to be
written with much fewer letters than
are contained in the ordinary alphabet
and to be expressed with not more than
four characters as, one to represent the
root of the word, one for the termina
tions, one for the part of speech, one for
such common combinations as ion, ght,
ment, ph, a;id so on. Thus, if in the
cipher ikmn 'meant writing, then iklin
would mean writer, iknm written oi
wrote, and ikln to write. Further mod
ifications were indicated by the capita
letters, and others of a different kind by
tlje periods and commas.
But it will not be necessary to carry
these hints any further. Enough has
been said to enable the reader, if he be
so minded, to work out the ' problem.
Keppel in the course of twenty minutes
had read the cipher letter, which, trans
lated from the French into English, rar
as follows: . .
"Arrangements have been perfected.
Name of messenger, Maurice Solange.
Trust him. He leaves Pans February
fifteen. Will take easterly route, anc
should arrive hot later than June. He
will telegraph from Panama. Send tc
meet him at New Orleans. Treasure
packed in box, concealed, as already ad
vised. Approximate value, twenty mill
ion pounds sterling. In case of rob
bery, "death or accident inform us by
cable. On receiving treasure store qui
etly (phno) in private vault. Rate oi
commission, one per cent, per annum.
We intend to declare war in early sum
mer, but circumstances may delay.
Winter campaign not desired. If suc
cessful Solange will bring back treasure.
Keep him with you meanwhile. If de
feated we shall leave at once for New
York incognito (ngil F.). Empress and
son to England. Keep us constantly in
formed of your movements. Estimate
so far as possible whether American
sympathies incline toward France oi
Germany. Would it be advisable tc
bring about collision between Germany
and United States? Is it possible thai
arrangements can still be made about
Mexico? If we miscarry with Germany
something must be done to consolidate
and stimulate imperial sentinient here.
Our hand and seal."
The political immorality indicated by
this document did not at the time par
ticularly, impress Keppel; bis interest
was monopolized by that part of the let
ter relating to the treasure. For some
minutes Ms mind staggered, in bewilder
ment at the suggestion presented to it.
It seemed far more incredible now than
before that a great fortune should actu
ally be within his reach. He had dreamed
a wild dream of hundreds of thousands
of dollars, and it had almost seemed real
to him, but now that he heard, as it
were, the very jingle of a hundred mill
ions he could net believe it. And yet
the evidence that a fortune not less vast
lay possibly within a few yards of where
he was sitting was more than plausible,
The more he examined it the more plaus
ible did it appear.
He endeavored to review the situation
step by step. He had found a man who
manifestly carried some weighty secret
on his mind. This man, who was dying
of yellow fever, spoke of one Maurice as
being dead and as haunting him. Who
could Maurice be but the Maurice So
lange mentioned in the cipher letter?
Maurice, then, according to the letter,
had been dispatched in charge of a treas
ure to America by way of India and the
Pacific. It was not uncommon for ships
making such a voyage to be visited by
yellow fever. Maurice may have died
of it, or he may have been murdered,
Be that as it might, the man whose body
lay within there had evidently got hold
of the "treasure and had brought it here.
He had said that he meant to dispose of
it piece by piece. He had spoken of the
emperor. : Who could this emperor be
but Napoleon? And by whom, unless by
Napoleon, could the cipher letter have
been written? Napoleon, for reasons of
his own, had determined to send this
treasure to someone in New York. Who
was that person? The cipher letter had
been found in the pocket of Harry Trent
There was therefore no escape from the
conclusion that Harry Trent must have
been the consignee of the treasure.
Harry Trent, again, was a dealer in
precious stones, arid was known to be
personally acquainted with the French
emperor. The pieces of the puzzle fitted
into one another like a mosaic. And by
a strange fatality Keppel Darke, who
lad been wrongfully accused of murder
ing Trent, had, through that accusation,
been brought in contact with a fortune
not inferior to any in the world.
But where was the treasure? Was it
in the neighborhood?
Keppel looked about him. -A4 garden
two or three acres in extent, long since
gone to seed, adjoined the house. Out
side the garden was a waste of stunted
woodland, extending to the swamp on
one side and toward the ocean on the
other. To the westward lay a sort of
pasture, ' with a few straggling apple
trees growing upon it. The place was a
deserted farm, such as is often met with
on Long Island, and may not have been
inhabited for many years. The treasure
was probably buried somewhere about
the grounds it might be far or near.
Wherever it was, it was worth searching
for, and Keppel resolved to examine
every square foot of ground within a
mile, if necessary, before giving it up.
This might .take time weeks or even
months. Meanwhile, he would have to
live in the house; and the first thing to
be done was to get the dead man and all
his belongings out of it
. -.- to bb contcntjed.

VALLEY OF DEATH.
A PROMINENT RANCHMAN WHO
HAD SUFFERED LONG.
He Says That His Doctor and Friends
Had Given Him Vp His Mi
raculous Care.
From the Colorado Farmer, Denver, Colo.
David S. Green, who is past middle
life, a man of fine physique, strong,
vigorous and buoyant went to Colorado
in 1860 and now resides at 2127 Grant
avenue Denver. He is well known in
Colorado and Indian Territory as a cat
tle man and is also known in Colorado
mining circles-by "old-timers." He is
a member of Trinity M. E. church of
this city and well known in Methodist
circles and a familiar figure on the
streets of Denver. He is a gentleman
of intelligence and culture, communica
tive and affable.
On the first day of February, 1 893,
Mr. Green received a serious injury
to the spine occasioned by slipping
while supporting a heavy weight The
injury was very painful and in a few
days he was helpless. Through the
long months of suffering that followed
he was reduced in strength and flesh
until his nervous system was well nigh
exhausted; he was brought to the bor
der land of paralysis. His entire right
side was threatened with this malady.
The spinal column and lase of the
brain were a battery of pain and tor
ture, and naught was left him but to
suffer and wait for the end.
While in this condition and utterly
hopeless of help (as his physician and
the best medical oounsel proved power
less), his attention was providentially
called to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
As a drowning man clutches at a
straw so he caught at Pink Pills and
immediately began to improve. He
commenced their use about the middle
of March last and today his pains are
nearly gone, all the alarming symp
toms of paralysis have disappeared and
the original injury is rapidly improv
ing. His general health and flesh are
returning, his usual elasticity of spirit
and vivacity are restored and an hour's
conversatoin is sufficient to convince
one that to Pink Pills is due a change
almost miraculous.
In conversation with a representa
tive of the Farmer, Mr. Green said:
"I have not been on the street for sev
enteen months till two or three days
ago, but I am so much better. It is a
surprise to me and to my friends, yes,
and to my doctor, too. The fact is, I
have been at death's door. No one
thought there was any help "for me;
even my doctor thought I never would
be any better! But here I am walking
about as you see, and to me it is won
derful! and perhaps you will hardly
believe me when I tell you what did it
It was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People."
It is due to suffering humanity that
the story of Mr. Green be told. His
kindness of heart and generous im
pulses would rejoice in spreading the
fame of a remedy that has brought him
from the valley of death to enjoy the
pleasures of a loving home.
His physican is a gentleman well
known in Denver, has lived here many
years and built up a good practice. He
is broad-minded and in good stand
ing in the best medical circles in the
city. Anyone wishing to do so, can
readily satisfy himself as to the facts
herein related.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are sold in
boxes (never in loose form, by the dozen
or hundred) at 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for $2.50, and may be had of all
druggists or directly by mail from Dr.

Mew Use For Love Letters.
An ingenious brido, so the story goes,
has evolved a happy scheme for keeping
her husband true to the protestations of
his wooing. The engagement was a long
one, the love letters exchanged, legion.
With these letters she has papered her
boudoir. No man could in the face of
such evidence of eternal devotion object
to the price of a new bonnet or be stingy
in the matter of pin money. How could
he scold about the butcher's bill, or be
sulky even if she did give his pet loung
ing coat to the old clothes man or put
her pug to, sleep in his Sunday hat or
cry because he staid at the club and
forgot to come in until midnight as in
his bachelor days? Philadelphia CalL
His Pardonable mistake.
"It was a bad break the Rev. Dr.
Fourthly made when he married that
couple the other day. "
"What was it?"
"He performed the ceremony all
right, but he never had married anybody
in bloomers before, and he's a little
nearsighted, you know, and when he
came to saluting the bride, according to
his custom, he became a little flurried
and kissed the young man." Chicago
The Devil's House.
In Ladyard, a small town in Connecti
cut, is a house built prior to 1710 which
bears the title of the "Devil's House."
A enrse is supposed to rest upon it, and
in proof it is pointed out that in the
present century more than 100 deaths
have occurred in ft, most of which were
violent or more than ordinarily pathetic.
The curse is supposed to have been put
upon the place by a girl named Green,
who was ill treated there by a relative
to secure ber property. Philadelphia

HIRE BELOW.
' Man wants but little here below, and
wants that little long," and just as long as
he can get it. The words of the old hymn
have a meaning, which, interpreted that
as the absence ot all pain is supreme hap
piness, it is very little to ask to be freed
from it. A short cut to the attainment of
this is to use St. Jacobs Oil. It is a little
thing to get, but the amount of good it'
does in the cure of pains is something
enormous.
