You can count upon any ono but tho typical Anglo-Saxon. You expect men of Latin and Slav races to make fools of themselves. Hut the Anglo-Saxon k iuch a thoroughly logical, reason ibk', clear headed person that the liot tom of your universe drops out when hr deviates from the path of common trw. And when he does, It Is nev--r i mere digression. He goes, n llamlng comet, whirling through sNtce, and j carrying all your stellar system of ; plans nnd beliefs before htm. The last j thing any one would have frneoted of I big, unlet, rational youth, such ns fas Ilurlburt, was that he should wax smnntlc over a street meeting with la Immature ruse to attract his atten tat. Nevertheless, that same day, af ter luncheon, he said to bis host, lis tat; sat looking under the ratnadn, to lives In the house on the next Het, where the two mocking-bird mi's hang on the wall?" "You must Ik mure explicit," his host laid; "there are a number of houses 00 the next street, and one and all luive moeklng-blrda." "Yes," said Ilurlburt; "but there Is n hedge of red and white geranium In front of It" "1 saw you meet her," the civilian told Mm; "her name Is Logon Manu ela, 1 think." Ilurlburt became very red. When jour uhleguintle man grows embar rassed he la badly embarrassed. It was some time before be regained ipeech and came floundering out of the sea of silence. When he did, he changed tho ubject oi mat tie abandoned tbc cause. Par froni It It took him two weeks, but be got himself Introduced to Senor Lopez, and hnd then taken to call upon him. The senor was a well-educated man, aud the most hospitable of bis hospitable race. He made Ilurlburt free of the house at once, and showed him everything It contained, save only Manuela. "You must come again, often," he Mid, aa they parted. Ilurlburt replied that he would, and went again In three1 days. Neither did he see his lady of the rosary npon this occasion. He address ed himself to Senorn Lope, who was handsome nnd well preserved. "You have a daughter, have you not, senora?' 8enora Lopez understood only Just so much English aa she chose. She did not choose to understand this. She turned her soft eyes upon ber husband, nud be answered for her. "We have a daughter," be said, "but be Is very young." Ilurlburt understood that he had of fended a seml-orlental prejudice. It having thus lieen made obvious to w" that Manueln would not le pro by her imrents, he went to an "X mass at the church, met her, and ""mduced himself. It chanced that tvon alone.

Senor Lois-z made no objection to the officer's suit but he did object to bis fashion of advancing It Ho In CMad himself In perversity. "My daughter, sir, Is too young He rose to his feet by way of sug gesting that Ilurlburt would do well , to take bis leave. Ilurlburt rose. too. but not to go. "May I ask her age, senorT "She Is slxtit n years old." "You have told me that you married the senorn when she was but fifteen." "That was In the old times. We do not do so any more." "Hut I will be willing to wait for a year. If Setiorlta Manuela will love me." "Sir, wo will talk no more concern ing this. My daughter Is too young to tie married, nud I do not wish to glvo ber to nn American" which was not In tin- least true. I'p to then It had been bis plun to do so, but bis obstinacy was roused. The result was one that any one, most of all a Mexican, should have fore si en. Ilurlburt embarked upon au In trigue. He sent notes to Manuela, and got tbem from her In return. The notes led to meetings by night. Tho meet ings led to Infatuation. Warm South ern nights nnd a soft-eyed, soft-voiced girl can work mischief within tho mind of a man. And a tall, blonde officer saying the first words of love she has ever heurd can turn the head of any woman. The clandestine Interviews continued for several mouths. Then Ilurlburt made one last attempt at frankness. He went to Senor Lopez again, and renew ed his request to be permitted to pay his daughter court. The senor had con ceived an unreasonable and great dis like for him, nnd refused. Whereupon Ilurlburt nrrnuged anoth er tni-cllng with Manuela. He began to realize that they were loth running ter rible risks, Senor Ixhz was quite (Sual to killing one of them If they should lo discovered, Bui be did not suggest that to Manuela, Instead, he asked! "Do you love me, chlqultaT" "Yes, yes. Must I tell you so al ways ?" "Io you love nie enough to leave your home for me?" "I do not understand." The gentle eyes looked Into his, perplexed. "Will you marry me?" "1 would, but how enn IT" she said. "My father will not consent to It." "Io you love me enough to run away from your father, to disobey hltn, and go over to Mexico, across the Isirder, with me? We can bo married there, and then come back." Ilurlburt was an Impassive, unemo tional man, but his nerves were iiM)ti a fearful tension as he waited for the answer of an Irresponsible child. She appeared to consider, and ended by agreeing. Ilurlburt was beside him self with happiness. A week later they went ncross the line nnd were married. They returned Immediately, and had an Interview with Seuor Lopez. The Mexican was enraged, Ilurlburt having obtained what he wanted, was not Inclined to be conciliatory, but Manuela aud her mother pntchwl up a pence. Manuela behaved beautifully, and Ilurlburt was more enamored than ever. He tmik her back to his home, nnd for three days dreamed of n lifetime of bliss. Then Manuela decided that she had bad enough of living on honeycomb, nnd that she bad tired of scented time. With no explanations nnd no reason save thnt she wanted to go, she went. Her father, charmed with Hurlburt's discomfiture, refused to make ber re turn to blm, nnd guarded ber closely. Ilurlburt begged for one (lnol Inter view, and It was granted. He was a sorry sight pale and haggard and self abusing. Bui Mnnuela was unmoved. She stood meekly before blm, her fold ed hands holding a rose, ber father and mother on either side of her. She was not In the least unhappy, and no grief had marred her pretttness. "Manueln," said Ilurlburt "have you not changed your mind? Will you not come home with met She shook her bead. "No," she said. "Why not? Was I not kind to you? Did I not love you?" l'es, you were very kind. Hut 1 like better to lie with my father." It was useless to threaten, Implore, or reason. Manuela was gently Htub born. She would iicvit go back to blm; she did not like Americans. When Ilurlburt finally went away, he decided that his heart wiw broken. He thought of suicide. He could never licnr up under the disgrace, and It was not so great as his wretchedness. This frame of mind lasted for a year; then he became resentful; then he obtained a divorce; then he was ordered Kn-st. and It wns ten years tiefore he returned to the const He hnd with hltn his wife a woman of his own icoplo, very charming, very well suited to hltn In every way. She knew the story of his first marriage, and sbc km w that, whatever he might say to the contrary, he still resetted deep down In hN heart the sweet soft Mexican wife of hit! youth, of his season of d.ir tellers ami llluslone. The knowledge was tho one grief of her life. It threw a shadow of sadnMts ovr her eyes. Rut she kept It to herself, and for this unfemlnlne virtue the gods. In due time, rewarded biT. They went one day, by ambulance from Wilmington, where Ilurlburt was stationed, to Los Angeb-s. One of their mules got lame, and they had to spend the ulght at a roadside ranch. A crowd of dirty Mexican children plyl around the adobe; several yet dirtier men lounged alwut the door; a fat, N shawled woman waddled across the yard; a yet more untJdy one welcomed them. Her greasy face was still rather prct ty nnd young, but she was thick, nnd heavy, nnd stupid. When aha looked full at Ilurlburt. she cave a little cry that was more of a grunt. "Ooma In; I will tell my huslmnd," she BkM, and shiifll.il away with be lure fft Hurllmrt tntnod to his wife gravely.

She laid r.eT delicate hand on his arm. "IMn't let It trouble you, dear. I do not n Dd." she smiled Into his eyes, and the shad ow wna forever gone from her own. -San Francisco Argonaut. INVENTOR OF LEAD PIPE. The Intcrmtlng Life of Rohrrt Hrydrll of Milton, There was born In Milton, Pa.. In INI) a man of wonderful genius, It Is said. His name was Robert Seydell, and he died In 184?. Mr. Seydell was a coppersmith and was almost continu ously working out some de Ice Connect ed with tho machinery in his factory, To him. It Is related by some of the oldest citizens of this place, ts longs the discovery of the process of making lend pipe, nnd like many other Invm tors, the Idea of muklng the same waa stolen from blm nnd further developed to Its present form of manufacture. It wus In the latter part of the thir ties thut the Idea suggested Itself to him, nnd tho following Is the way he wrought tt out; He first took n slug, or enstlug of lead, placing It on a man del, or rod of steel, about sixteen feet long nnd one Inch In diameter; the mundel was highly polished and upon this be drew or rolled out the lend to the full strength of the rod) thus giv ing blm an Inch bore, und the material was rolled. It Is suld, to a one fourth Inch, making a total diameter of one and one half Inches for the pipe. After completing several sections of tho length o ftbe tnnndel, be soldered them together, muklng the pipe of whatever length be desired. Ho put It to practical use by fasten ing It to pump heads und also running It from springs to connect watering troughs nnd spring bouses In the coun try round about here. Being greatly pleased with his discovery, and receiv ing the most flattering of comments from bis friends nnd neighbors tn this section, be concluded to make his In vention more widely known, and hence made a visit to Philadelphia, taking his device with him. At the Frnuklln Institute tn that city he gave his first exhibition to quite a number of Inventors, artisans nnd DM chantcs. As It Is now related, all who witnessed It were more than de lighted, nnd so expressed themselves In his Immediate presence. It was not long that he was allowed to remain In n condition of supreme happiness over his Invention, for a short time nfter he made a disclosure of his discovery, and while yet In I'll I hi -dclphln, he found out that by the very persons to whom he had given nn ex hibition of the process of making lead pipe his Idea had lecn ussl and Im proved npon, -Phlladelpha rross. Knrly Writers on Smoking. The fact has Iss'ii discovered that Shakseare never mentions smoking or makes the slightest allusion to the habit. This Is the more curious, as most of bis contemporaries, Hen loB son, Pecker and others, discuss the then new fashion at length, and the humorist nnd satirist of the time lost no opportunity of deriding and mak ing game of the votnrles of the Weed. The tobacco merchant was an lniMirt ant personage In the time of James I. The ICllzalK'thon pipes were so small that when they are dug up in Ireland the poor call them "fairy plnea." King James himself was one of the most virulent opponents of the habit, and In his ludicrous "Counterblasts" calls It a vile and stinking custom, "borrowed from the beastly, slavish Iudlnus -poor, wild, barbarous men brought over from America ond not Introduced by any worthy or virtuous or great imt sonage." He orgties that tobacco Is not dry and hot; that Its smoke Is humid, like all other smoke, ond Is therefore bnd for the brain, which Is naturally wet and cold. He denies that smoking purges the head or atom ach, and declares that many have smoked themselves to death Medical Record. l.trtii Kate of Males and Fein iles.
