"The curtain had not yet risen, but I found Mr. Booth standing at the back of the stage, lnsido the tomb of the Capuleta, for then once unoccupied by any defunct member of that illustrious house. ' "I approached him timidly and deliv ered my message; whoreupon, starting up with the graceful spring of a tiger disturbed, he hissed out: Avauutl and quit luyslghtt Let th earth hide tiled Thy bones ar tuarrowleaa, thy blood I cold; Tlion hast no speculation In thos eyes Which thou dual glare with I "Any one who has aeon Booth and re niemlH'rs the terrible Intensity of his voice, the wonderful crescendo which he placed on the word gUi-a-a-rt! in this tentonue will not be surprised to loam that a weak, sickly little girl should have toppled straight over in a dead twoon at hearing It so unexpectedly and unjustly addresaed to herself In the louii-darknesa of the Capulot tomb.

The Brahmins are the sacred caste of India, and thoir sanctity Is the basis ol their supremacy. This is so powerful that to refuse a Brahmin fil Is to call down punishment from the skies, and to beat one is to con. ign the beater U an eternity of woe. But Western ideas are making progress In the minds of tlie natives, and the following story, con divised from "Tent Life In Tigerland," shows that the little leaven is working in the lump of Oriental superstition: There are different kinds of Brahmins, and some of them lead a lazy, vagabond Ish life, relying upon the virtue of their caste to secure thnm food and lodging, at whatever house they muy visit One of these oleairinous peripatotlc loafers came ono day to tho door of a grain seller, reputed to lie woalthy. With the linperioiisness of a high-caste Hindoo, the Brahmin demanded some refresh ment The graln-sollor had linbihcd Emrlish Ideas to such an extent that his mind was mado up not to be blackmailed by able-bodied but lazy Brahmins. Other villagers brought food to the Brahmin, but ho refused to accept thoir offerings, lieing determined to break the spirit of tho . grain-seller. One day passed, nnd neither bad yielded. On tho second day, the Brahmin, now very hungry, poured forth his curses upon the grain-seller 8 bead, muttering spells, and bringing forth all manner ol objurgations. Thegnlu-seller remained obdurate. Then the Brahmin lacerated his arms, for he thought that when the man saw the blood of a Brahmin drop ping at bis door, he would submit thro, jh fright The horror-stricken neighbors implored him to yield and avert tho dire consequences that might come upon the villuge. The grain-seller was as deaf to their entreaties as to the clamor of the lnzy beggar. On the third day, as if to senro the man by ono horrible deed, the Bruhmin went to the edge of a deep well in the court-yard, and amid the cries of the asembled villagers, jumped down Into tho gloomy depths. The women wreauied and beat their breasts, the men tore thoir hair and garments. The grain-seller rushed to the well, bent over the brink, and begged tlit israonun, wnose lorm he could see floating In the water, not to drown bitn self. Tho Brahmin must have thought that at last bo had conquered, for his handt grasped the strong silken girdlo which the grain-seller let down, and suffered himself to be slowly drawn up. When the spluttering Brahmin reached Hit lop of tho well, his wrists were grasped by the grain-seller, and tied togethet with the girdle which had served as a draw-rope. Amid the lamentations of the shriek I ig crowd, the grain-seller hauled the half-drowned Brahmin to the nearest pollco station, and charged him with uttempllng to. commit suicido. The Brahmin was sent to prison, and from fiat day the pretensions of the mem bers of the sacred caste were not heeded In that vlllniro. Youth's Companion. Ar ol iu i.tr.iu, ut r let Inn.
