The contrast lie) ween the two suit on as wu plodded toward the house was just what you would imagine be tween an elegantly d-ossed, contented and amusing man, and a dripping, shivering, cross-grained specimen of disgusted humunitv. l'oolado lacked the moral courage and his flannol suit lacked: the nun shrinking qualities to face the audi ence. So eBrly tho next morning we quietly returned home. Two weeks later we arranged to spend our regular vacatlou al a fashionable hotel In the vicinity of Miss Kosu'oe s summer home. Among other attractions, our rep ertory included a bronco: gentle and unkind, could be driven bv a ladt with a big club and warranted to al ways do the w rong thing at the right limo; nut Willi nis russet names white lines, and a neatly appointed slvlish cart, the general effect was- great! So wi'h these pleasing acres- s.iries we made our second attempt t. shine in Miss Ko-ialee s presence e rattled alonir the road at a slruiuiinsr nucc. swung between thi tmie posts, and trotted right up the steep, curving drive-wny to the house. which was situated a hundrod feet above the public road. ! 1'ooiado had selected an hour when he knew thfl uuests would be assem bled on the front pinzza; and the effect we produced -1 with a new jew eled collar from Tiffany's, and my -ooinaniou a combination of all thi I I'.tost fads In men's dress quite sail I Bed our sore Italian Ulsi Roaalee Immediately fell on the d qiet, unostentatious way. toyed with !

Now 1 counted on this mastication to break up the w hole affair. In all well regulated novels I had read, an unanswered lotter was always suffi cient to make the "Lover" fly to (ifienlund's coral strand or to India's icy mountains; but my faith in romances received a fearful shock when, after twenty-four hours of pine, Poolado calmly inquired of the "Heroine'' and found that the miss ing letter had never been received. Here we were, off for three days to ipend the "4th." Our cargo con listed of the freshest things in con fectionery for Miss Rosalee, the latest lummer novels for her mother, the newest things in ttre-works for the children, and the most fashionable at tire for himself. Rosalee having a weakness, or rather a strength, for out-door ports, Poolado thought it would be a point In his favor to affect the athletio llvle. So we middled down the rner in a brand new canoe. He was entertaining himself by imagining the impression he would make on the "Adored One" by gracefully swing ing his craft to the steps, springing lightly ashore, and falling on her alabaster neck with a live pound box of bonbons. Late in the afternoon her home bo tame vi-ilile with its well-peopled 'erandas, with the musicians on the lawn, and, alas! hor big dog9 roam ing at large. In order to do it all with an air of tareless grace. Poolado proceeded to light a cigarette. Where he threw the burning match I know not; but it l barely possible that it fell among the treworks. I have no particular reason for thinking so, only about this time a Peullar hissing sound came from our trgo, followed by sudden flashes of light. I rembember distinctly seeing the ir filled with unchristian language as Poolado flew into the water, where I Joined him, just as an explosion occu pied the space we had so recently tiled. Was it Kpictetua or "Mr. Barnes, of Kew York'- who remarked: -When a dog falls into the water he wets his coat d pants?"

For tho next few days we kepi our selves In close retiremf.it, as we wer wearing several murks und bruises which onlv time an 1 arnica could ef face. We resolved on our next appearance to avoid bolh canoes and broncos. So arraying ourselves in our tartest rai ment, and assuming our iiup.irt.,1 bored look, we sauntered to the pa grounds by the river bank, where Mist Rosalee and her parly were assembled.

There is no doubt that Bu'.wer had.

The subject (aad upon was "The Lad) of Lyons," mid when the play was pro ittoed abort! the year IMS, I think -the authorship was known to two per aons only-Mncready and Buhver. Dickens was the intimate friend of both actor and writer and on invitation of Mncready ho took his place among the audience on the llrst night.

"A cnpital plav!good l.lea well and dramatically worked out The author, a young fellow, I suppose, has oeeii looking a little at our friend here," in dicating Bulwer.

Without our friend here It might have I10011 a hideous failure." My dear Bulwer, If I did not believe you to bo free from tho slightest tinge of jealousy of other writers, what you have juBt said would make me uneasy. The fellow has written a bright, capital play, and you should be tho llrsl 10 acknowledge such." "Not If I don't think so. I suppose," aid Bulwer with a smile. lu telling this anecdote, as well as I can remember. I have used Dickens' expressions as I heard thoni from hla own lips. Tho morning following the produc tion of "The Lady of Lyon" waa a triumph for Bulwer, who wa re quested by tho papers to tuke a lesson from his rival, who had shown by his admirable play that he had dramatic oowers which were conspicuous by their absence In such works as had hitherto proceeded from tho pen of Mr. Bulwer.

Aii Industrious Mexican beetle In the window of a jewetor on upper Broad way furnishes amusement to largo crowds almost every hour of tho day. It 1 a curious looking insect, nnd oven rmrsons well versed In natural history are unable at first sight to toll exactly U) whut Variety it belongs. It I00KS like a cross between a big bluck spider and a tumble bug. The beetle has a velvety blue black, with the legs of a spider. Around the neck is a gold band attiu'hed to a thread that holds the insect to a minia ture human skeleton. Tho beetle crawls up and down the skeleton with the regularity of clock work, ho pre cise are tho movements that nearly every oue mistakes ll for a mechaulcal toy. The other afternoon WaUer B. Price and Senator Studlor spent soino time pondering over the beetle. "1 don't believe a piece of mechunlsm could lie as perfect as that," exclaimed the Sen ator. Mr. Price, who Is a great student of natural history, taslated that nature had never constructed such a looking Insect, and as a result of the difference of opinion a wager wa made. aeOBBV nanieil the two gentlemen into the store to decide the wager. The Jeweler aald that It was a live Mexican BaetM "It Is a most curious insect," he said, "and it Is as busy aa a bee. We have put on a falne back of blue velvet to give It a brilliant appearii..ce.
