and a tender light shone In ber daugh
ters eyes. As for Alec, he csst a sus
picions glance at hi prospective fa
ther-in-law.
Nothing would do for Mabel but to
totroduo the Korean custom at her
wedding. On account of the recent
death of an aunt who had made her
Ufa miserable, but had left ber 110,000.
the ceremony was to Include only the
family. Alec pretested against the In
troduction of a custom taken from s
degenerate eastern race, but Mr. Bur
, atefa remark, "Happy dayr bad fas
tened the Idea upon MabeL and It
old not be removed.
On the day of the wedding the bride
tid not apeak from the moment of her
wakening. After the ceremony she
kissed the family all round, bnt spoke
sever a word. All agreed that her si
lence added a solemn charm to the
most Impressive occasion In a woman's
life.
Mr. and Mrs. Alec Hicks started Im
mediate); after a wedding breakfast
(at which the bride sat mute) on their
wedding Journey. As they rolled along
tn a parlor coach the young husband
remarked npon the presents they bad
received, the Interest taken In their
marriage, the concourse of people who
Would gladly hare been present bad
sot the ceremony been private. His
wife listened, but spoke not Then be
directed her attention to passing ob
jects. -There was a happy, dreamy
look on her face, but she uttered no
word. They dined In a buffet car; but,
though there was a bottle of wine, her
tongue was not loosed. After dinner
Alee surprised her by telling her that
he was going into the smoking room
for an after dinner cigar. Half an
boor wis enough for the cigar, bnt be
took an hour. When he returned she
received him with a lowering brow,
"How long," he asked her coldly, "Is
this beautiful Korean custom to be
kept upr
She made no reply, but Inwardly re
solved that it should be kept up until
fee learned not to leave her for a whole
lour on the evening of their marriage
for a nasty cigar.
Meanwhile there was much talk
among the women left behind In com
mendation of the custom Introduced at
the Hicks wedding. One elderly spin
ster of practical views declared that
since men were forever commenting
n women not being able to hold their
tongues perhaps one man would get
an he wanted of woman's silence.
Many young girls said that they would
adopt it at their own wedding. A few
feminine gabblers dissented, consider
ing it a shame that a man might say
what be pleased to his wife without
retort No such silence for them. The
matter brought about a number of mar
ital differences where husbands took
occasion to sneer at their wives nnder
cover of this Korean custom. Great
Interest centered in how long the si
lence of Mrs. Hicks was to endure.
The sneering husbands declared that
the second hand to a watch would not
divide time delicately enough to meas
ore ber silence after the first sign of
independence on the part of her hus
band. Other cynical men said the
whole affair was paradoxical, for in
stead of a wife muzzling herself her
first act after marriage was to muzzle
her husband. One woman forgot her
elf so far as to remark, "How can she
get him under" but checked herself.
The wedding trip was to cover the
honeymoon, but it lasted only three
days, when the bride and groom re
turned, and. Instead of going to the
bouse that had been prepared for
them, the bride went to ber mother
and the groom to bachelor quarters.
"For heaven's sake, what's the mat
ter?' cried the mother as ber daughter
fell on her neck weeping.
"He's a brute."
"What has he done?"
"We hadn't been gone half a day be
fore he ceased to say a word to me."
"But yoa didn't say a word to him,

"Foolish child! You have a model

twelve hours! Alec must be a wonder.
Think of possessing a husband who Is
able to hold his tongue indefinitely and

CHARMS FOR LUCK.
Th Sort of Superstition Som Wall
8trt Men Harbor;
Let all the dear readers, feminine

lows, for surely the fairer sex is, after
all the stronger sex. Women know no
inch abject obedience to' superstitious
fears and signs a do the men. With
a view to eliciting something of Inter
est, the writer had a chance to put a
certain question to a captain of Indus
try. Tut tuf he replied suspicion
ly, "you'd be getting me Into trouble,
would your With a promise that no
name would be mentioned, he finally
agreed to tell a thing or two.
The question was, "Aren't men in
Wall street carrying all sorts of queer
things to try to change their lnckf
In answer to this the writer beard
some curious stories. One man of
worldwide fame, for example, carries
a cane in the center of which there is
a Blender steel rod. Circling the rod
there are rings made of leather and of
hard rubber, like the washers that
plumbers use. Each seventh ring Is
made of leather from the soles of the
shoes worn by the billionaire during
what he considered his luckiest year.
Elephants and pigs as lucky charms
there are of course In plenty, but the
proper caper Is to wear the animal
pinned luslde on the watch fob pocket.
Then there is another great financier
who carries with him a gold Ink well
and would never sign a document with
fluid from another receptacle. Once
upon a time, when be had, say, only a
picayune million or two, be signed a
paper In a deal that doubled, then tre
bled, his wealth. The Ink used that
day was emptied into a long gold tube
or well that he now carries. The Ink
was nsed up, but to the well, so he
thinks, the good luck power has beeu
translated. Lucky coins pass from fa
ther to son in several of the multimil
lionaire families, and the man who in
herits them would never be without
them. We have few secret drawers In
desks or doors in houses, a they bad
in olden times, but there are many se

A GRATEFUL GUEST.
Th Reward She Bestowed Upon Tho
Who Entertained Har.
"Human nature Is a queer thing,"
gald the philosopher.
'Not long ago some friends of mine
got badly down on tbeir luck. Times
were so hard for them that they scarce
ly knew which way to turn for the
necessities of life.
At that most Inopportune time they
received word from a woman friend of
theirs that she was coming to visit
them for a few days. They were dis
mayed, but by the exercise of great in
genuity and by depriving themselves
to almost the vanishing point they
managed to entertain ber and really to
set before ber most excellent meals.
"After she left their affairs contin
ued to grow even worse. If possible.
and while they kept up a brave front I
was near enough to them so I couldn't
help knowing all about it, though they
were not aware that I saw the situa
tion. "
"I thought it was time some of their
friends came to the rescue if a suitable
way could be devised, so I wrote the
woman who had been tueir guest
being slightly acquainted with her my
selftold her I would head the proces
sion, would like her aid and would be
glad of any suggestions she could make
as to a practical plan for helping our
old friends without hurting their prop
er pride.
Her reply gave me something to
think about for many a day. She said
she didn't care to help them, as they
already lived too well and set too ex
pensive a table; that when she had
visited them they had a great deal
more to eat than was necessary and
that they must be very extravagant
people; that it was undoubtedly their
own fault they were in such trouble
and that it would probably teach them
to be more economical In future!"

How 8imt Reeve Turned th Table
en One of Hi Admirer.
Sims Reeves, who la his dav was ac
cepted as the most celebrated tenor on
the concert stage, was so much of
favorite that whenever be sang ho was
usually greeted with a hearty encore.
accompanied with enthusiastic cheers.
Reeves was very good natured about
the matter, but he made It a rule never
to sing more than one selection when
he felt that his voice was not In first
class shape. He happened to notice
that an elderly man, who turned out
to be a dealer in hats along the Strand
London, attended nearly every concert
within convenient distance if Sims
Reeves happened to be on the bill and
generally led the encore brigade. This
hatter was a persistent person and of
ten applauded until be had forced
Reeves to respond to double and triple
encores.
Determined to teach the little hatter
a lesson, one afternoon Just as dark
was approaching Reeves entered his
admirer store and said, "One hat
please," naming the particular shape
which be desired. The little hatter
didn't recognize the great tenor and
handed out one bat
"Good," said Reeves. "How much
Is thishatr
"Five shllllnfw." said the store pro
prietor. "Encore," ald Reeves.
A second bat was forthcoming, and
Reeves ultimately obtained three "en
core" hats. hen the little hatter de
manded 1 sterling for the purchases
Reeves pretended to be furious.
"Send these four hats to this ad
dress," ordered the tenor in terrible
tone, "but I only pay for one hat Do
you understand? The three other bats
are 'encore' hate. If you make me sing
songs for nothing you must send me
hats for nothing."
The little batter was speechless.-

A Startling Debut.
A comedy of errors describes the
first appearance on the stage of Mr.
Huntley Wright He was supposed to
impersonate the warder of a mad
house, and the scene opened with the
brutal ill treatment of the hero, and It
ended with a gunpowder explosion. In
his nervousness the warder dropped
his cap, and, being agitated and short
sighted, he picked up the pan of gun-
i powder instead. It instantly blew up,
nearly frightening him out of bis wits.
He rushed from the stage and col
lapsed, as he thought, on a stool In the
wings, whi;h turned out to be a Are
