I'll discharge you without a moment's

Stevenson to her French jimlil, who
was dressing her mistress' head. t
"Miss Blbyl ) very crons," suggest,

wont on with her thaukhms tattle.

Flbyl sharply. ."Make mo the ugliest
woman on the beach. ' Make ftw o
"ugly that no man will ever look at
ino. Do you understand?" aha contin
ued. "I hate men." ,'; '
Louise went on making puffa and
curia regardless of tor mUtnm' direc
tions. For a time nothing waa eald.
Blbyl waa decidedly moody, and It
.wna th maid who again aurtcd tbt
conversation. f
"MIks Sibyl, what la a good looking
jrlawir . 1 .:.' ; .i
, "Why, Louise, you are atupld not to
pinow that, A good looking glans la a
uulrror which h'Hs no lies. Now, with

"He doubtloHn aaya you are a good

; plnlwd. "But lot me see tho totter."
From the pocket of bcr dainty apron
Loutwe drew forth tho noto. Blbyl rend
It through, hesitated Moment and
then turned to her maid.
"Louise, I'll meet tola, man In your
place. I don't want you to be de
ceived, aa I hare been. Mr. Judaon
he proved false, and" A tiny tear
found Ita way on Sibyl's cheek.
So It waa arranged, and the season's
belle, Sibyl Stevenson, strolled .down
toward the clump of tall ploa treea
sear the edge of the lake In the early
evening to niect the man who hnd paid
court to her maid. The trees, abnken
by the browed, cnt freakish ahndowa
on the ground, and Sibyl waa not alto
gether comfortable.,
She wno eager to meet this youth
who waa trifling with tha affection of
her maid and give him a piece of her
mlud, Sho had not long to wait, how
ever, before the tall figure of a man
came down the winding path. !
With long, swinging strides he ap
proached.' Mopped a moment as If to
make quite aure of something; ahe
knew not what. Then, to her great sur
, prise,, he( turned quickly and .disap
peared., .,( , ... . . : :
,; Sibyl waited until she felt It was no
longer aafe for her to be out alono and
returned to the hotel to tell her maid
of the strange occurrence. They dla
ciiHHed the problem, and both decided
that the gorgeous gown worn by Miss
StevenHon did not look like tho almple
grooming Of her maid. This fact had
probably frightened the man away.
The next evening Sibyl, 'dressed In a
plain black i frock, with t white collar
and cuffs and a drooping hat, awaited
tho mysterious Romoo whom Louise
had notified by note to be there at a
certain hour. ' ' ' 1
1 Again the tall figure swung down the
road, a ajouch hat pulled down wH
over bin eyea. i V ;.,". ',;,.';',...:.;
' "la that you, Loulae?" he whlHpered.
Sibyl started to scream; ..then . she
..leaned against a friendly pine, tree and
In a weak voice claimed the Identity.
"Is sho wise?'' aMked'the man. ' ' i '
"la who wine?' 'reiterated Sibyl, her
vdlco' still trembling. 1 :, H !, ' j.f ,
"Why, MIrs Stevenson, your ( mis

"Doti't atnnd there like a mummy, you
stupid bit of Freiiclj hunmultyr Speak
up and tell me has she' forgiven me
and hare you arrhnged a" ! f '
He got no furtlier in hl4 Inquiries.
Sibyl picked up her little black skirt
and ran for homo. Once sho was safe
ly rlorii'tcd with LoiiIno she folt vague
ly that the echo' of 'a man's hearty
.laughter hnrl followed her flight.
"Louise," began Sibyl In a most ma-
tFoiwtttrt ton, f"wiiflf art' jrou mt-nu by
flirrlng with Mr. Juditon Now, do
not Intorrnpt me, for It was Mr. Jud-Btni-

"Sibyl, you must boar me," Judsoa
began ' "
"My dear, Mr. Jodson," said Blbyl,
with stlng!ag Bsrcaam, "that Is just the
trouble, I've beard too much from you
already." s' t 'r I f '

Sibyl opened her eyes wide aud star

"Jfou mean to tell me that stupid
French girl planned all thin to give you
a chance to explain," mutted Sibyl.
"But why r

"Easily," assured Judson. "She was

Real BoHemUee Pit.
Bottomless pits are facts, not fancies,
according to Professor E. A. MarteL
the French geologlnt He declares that
this term may be applied to cliff caves
whose lower part has been cut off by
the eronlon of the valley below, thus
turning tbem Into tunnels, through
which the valley may be seen., The
iuot remarkable abyss of this kind
which the savant has seen Is the so
called bole of Platary, on the summit
of the eastern ridge of Vcrcoro, above
Clelles. At about 5,100 feet a horizon
tal, orifice opens suddenly like the
mouth of an ordinary cave, which It
probably once waa. The bottom has
heuu cut off, demolished by the Im
mense eronlon of the vast basin of
treves to tho eaat 2.300 to 3,300 feet
deep, 'on which the present lower ori
fice of the present cave opens out In a
superb arch twenty-six feet high.
From tb railway , between the sta
tions of Clelles and. Percy, on the line
from Orenole to Veyues, It Is seen
2,300 feet In the air like a pinhole near
the summit of a limestone cliff. It was
from the car window that the extraor
dinary aperture was discovered. , In
Belgium In the Grand Duke's hole one
may descend and. contemplate , the
windings of the Lease, holding to the
shrubbery to avoid being precipitated
Into the river 250 feet below. In the
clmtk cliffs of Ktretnt there la another
evldeuce of an Incompletely destroyed
cave whose remaining upper entrance
doubtless soon will disappear. , ,
Strang Capture of Salman.'
Flshhig a well known river In Nor
way one June, one of tho tenants of
the fishing lodge opposite ours caught
a .flxli of twenty-nino pounds la the
morning and lost another, his spinning
line being broken by tha rush of a
heavy fish. Fishing with prawn the
afternoon of the same day, the samo
angler In the same pool got Into a good
fish at hla first cast. After a long fight
tho fish was gaffed and landed. Then
waa revealed a, strnngo state of things.
The prawn tackle had never touched
the fish; In fact, tho hooka were a foot
or more from it. They had caught 'In
the cast Which hnd been ' lost : that
morning and was now twlstad - Into
knots? and tangles no doubt by the
salmon, endeavoring to get rid of the
treble Norsk enst and hooks. The line
had been got rid of. As the prawn
swung down' tlie poor It hnd grappled
tho lost enst stni attached to the salm
on, and flab. ;(tlilrty-thre pounds), cas
and tuekle were rocovored. ,W watch-
I ed the Incident from the ,ad and,
crossing tho river, handled the recov-
I crcd cast. Many maintain that salmon
once hooked and playtd. for auy length
of time leave the pool - ,V. II. In Lon

i A Traveling Man's Experience. '
"I must tell you my experience on
an east bound O. R. & N. R. R. train
from Pendleton to Le Grande, Ore,"
writes Sam A. Garber, a well known
traveling man. "I was in the smok
ing department with some other trav
eling: men when one of them went out
into the coach and came back and
said, There-is a woman sick, unto
death in the 5 car.' I at 'once 'got up
and went out found her very 411 with
cramp colic, her hands and arms were
drawn up so yon could not straight
en them, and with a death-like look
on her face. Two or three ladies were
working with her and giving her
whiskey. I went to my suitcase and
got1 my TJottle of Chamberlain's Colic
Cholera" and "Diarrhoea Remedy (J
never travel without It),; ran to the
water-tank,, put a double dose of the
medicine in the glass, . poured some
water into it and stirred it with a
pencil; then I had quite a time to get
the ladies to let me give it to her, but
I succeeded. I could at once see the
effect and I worked with her, rubbing
her hands, and in 20 minutes I gave
her another dose. ; By this time we
were almost into Le Grande, where
was to leave the train., I gave the
bottle to the husband to be used in
case another dose should be needed,
but by the time the train ran into L
Grande she was all right and I re
ceived the thanks ot every passenger
in the car." For sale by Frank Hart
