This contempla'ss a general con

A FORGIVING CRITIC.
Now, Miss Mayhard, j'ou're go-
mc to netioia a wonaer. Asnicy
Melincourt's to join us to-night, and
you'll meet a man who has traveled
all over the world without learning
to erink or smoke, and has never
gambled or made love in his . life!
Yin must''iide your literary fame
under a bushel new, for he detests
reviewers-."
Time; 3 o'clock on a fine summer
afternoon; place, the veranda of a
anaiat little hotel in one of the most
picturesquely old-fashioned of Breton
;oast-towns; subject, the addition ot
a new member to the pieasant little
American party already located there.
"Weil, 1 in glad the catalogue of
Mr. Melincourt's perfections has one
flaw in it," says the young lady, with
a curl of her pretty hp which many
of her admirers know to the;r cost.
"Of course its a dreadful saciilege
for any lady to meddle with liter
ature, which is known to Le the ex
clusive property oi men; but I mu.-t
be content to risk his displeasure,
terrible as it may be. Alter all it
will b-2 less insufferable than the
stoics of how many tigers he shot in
India, and how many days he weut
without food in the desert, and the
fever he had in China, and the dinner
the ameer gave him at Cabul. I sup
pose some critic lias told him the
truth on that score, and hence his
enmity to them."
No; there's just the mystery
they've always spoken well of him
hitherto; aim asf tor talking of h
travels, trial 8 exactly wiat one can
uever get him to do. However
when six o'clock comes, you'll he abl
to judire tor yourself.
bix o'clock came, and with it the
expected guest a short, square,
bearded, sunburned man, with the
grave, self-contained look of one ac
customed to lace, unaided, every
form of difficulty and danger. H
spoKe ntcie, out seemed to toilow
the conversation with a quiet atteu
tive vigilance indescribably provok
ing to Laura Maynard, because, as
she afterwards said, it was "just like
a school-teacher watching for some
body t. make a mistake."
Uinner over, there was a genera
movement to the yeranda, to watch
the moon rise over the sea; and the
influence ot the hour gave a romantic
and semi-mystical cast to the talk
which at length tcrr ed upon trans
migration of sou's.
' It e a in ty such a thine cannot
b ." said Welinconrt. "Just thmk
oi the admirable changes we should
beholds Our custom house officers
should haunt every harbor as sharks
onr policerrn prowl in he darkness
as wolves; our bankers suck thei
ueignoorB blood in the lorm o
leeches; our politicians chatter and
grimace io the way of monkeys; our
critics transformed to frogs, croak
araid congenial slkne, against every
thing higher and better than them
selves.
'You don't favor the critics, I see,
Mr. Melincourt," said Laura flushing
wun indignation
"No; I look at them as they are
in nirea o avos ot literature, ready
to pay oa either side and to stab
friend or foe as their master bids
them; infallible, because never own
ing a miscaae; iree irom Diae, since
they never read the books which
they review; showing tlnir learning
oi misquotation; weir rennement by
mmnusgate; and tbeir modesty by
setting themselves up as authorities
upon subjects of .which they know
nc:nii:g.
The titter which followed this ua
conscious home.thrust kindled Laura
Maynard s warm blood into a flame
"Mr. Melincourt," she cried wrath
fully, "you are giving us an excellent
illustration of the danger of 'setting
up as an aumority upon a subje:t ot
which you know nothing.' I think I
may claim to know more about
critics than you, for 1 happen to be
one myself!
Melincourt answered only bv
bow aad an ironical Smile, more gill-
mg man ine miseresc sarcasm, as he
arose from his place and sauntered
away. '
rwyi it f . 1 1 ; i
ine mree ioiiowing days were so
completely taken up with excursions
into the- surrounding country, that
the quarrel had no chance of proceed
mg any farther; but on the fourth
morning, tne reaction consequent
upon tnese energetic amusements be
gan to show itselt in a ranging of
chairs along the veranda of the hotel,
and a geuer.il production of Tamil
nitz novels. Mis Maynard who.
soiiMtive, Jike alt clever women, felt
the mere presence of a person v. hoin
she disliked intolerably bur lentome
gave tlie go-by' to this impromptu
reading i'lui, and set oil on a solitary
btrvlndmig the sauds which the rc-
treating Me hal left bare.
Ibe choice was a god one, for,
even iti that pictu'e?qi.e region, it
would have heeu hanl iu tiud a more
charming walk. On one tide lay the
blue, pai U'in? : ut; o;i tlitf other, the
lonv, lar'i Kinliiie r tlio frowning
clifls., )aj'pleit every here and theie
with liny wlii'e cutiagut and green,

tu'.id. Far away in the right, crailkil
in a deep hollow bctwee.i two mighty

southern M.y.
Little by little, as ehe left tie in
habited reuion behind her, chu grand
repose of the land !?:.;. soothed the
girls ruffled feeling, while its beauty
pleased her artistic eye. .She lelt
once more, as she had done many a
time already, that the strongest
armor against the petty worries and
vexat'ons'iif life is to withdraw from
them ror a tme into tne gi est' sanc
tuary of Nature, in' whose ' presence
all esnh s troubles look meau and
trivial. '
Hew long she stood tl'tre drin'.iH';
in the splendor of that wonderful
panorama she could never have told;
but suddenly she noticed with a start
that the sand was g.-owmg wet and
oozy under her feet. She - turned ,
and wai dismayed to find herself
completely : surrounded by water
The riBin tide pouring throuoh the
lower levels of the beech behind her
bad actually cut her off from the
sno.-e! '-:
Suddenly, as she stood motionless
and paralyzed with terror, a tall fig
ure appeared at her side, a strong
hand grasped hers, and Ashley Melin
court's voice shouted in her ear:
Run, run! there's not a moment to
lose! Hold fast by me and run for
your life!"
It was a race lor hie, inucecl. rast
as they lied, the hoarse roar of the
pur-uing tide came closer and closer
behind thorn. Could they but reach
yonder projecting headland they
would be safe; but how terribly dis
tant is teemed! and how long be
fore they reach it the sea was upon
them in earnest, almost dashing tbe
g:rl from her fetfc. Meliucourt
matched her up iu his arms, aud
plunged desperately on, breast-deep
amid tha foaming waves. Deeper and
deeper grew the water, stronger and
Stronger pressed Uie current. Twics
he all but fell, where to fall was to
rise no more; but at length, by a
superhuman effort, the rock was
gained, and laying his ehe.'-ge genily
upon a broad flat ledire, he sank
gaspiug beside her.
"How can I ever thank you, M
Me incourt? faltered Laera as she
regained her breath.
'Time t lough for that yet,"
answered Ashley, with an atfected
,ayety which he was very far from
feeling. "The first thing to be doue
is to get to a safe place, for the tide
will soon overtake us here.
Wet and exhausted as they both
were, that upward struIe ever the
slippery rocks, thickly coated w:ih
sea-weed, was a long and perMous
task; but the roar of the advanciug
tide below spurred them on, and be
top was reached at last. Then a
wild cry burst from Laura's lips,
while even her iroa-nerved compan
ioi recoiled in dismay. Thsy were
standing upon an island P'
There was no room for doubt; one
glance made the whole tru.h terribly
clear. Thrir sheltering crai.' was
but an isolated fragment of the main
cliff, divided from it by a hideous
3hasm nearly thirty feet in width,
through which the waves were al
ready leaping high and fiercely.
They had escaped sudden destrnction
only to feel the lingering agony of
being devoured inch by inch; for a
moment's inspection showed them
that every flood-tide covered tha rock
to the very summit.
And all the while the sun shone
brilliancy in the blue summer sky,
and the sea-birds flattered rejoicingly
around them, and the fresh breeze
stirred tha green leaves alone the un
reachable shore, and the brieht.
merciless sea danced and sparkled in
the sunlight as if sorrow and death
were unknowa. Like audden chill
there fell upon the doomed pair
cheerless sense of the unsympathetic
aspect ot au around them, and
vague wish that the sun would oloud
over, ind give to the landscape
gloom in narmony witn their ap
proaenmg end.
"It srems hard to die ao soon
murmured the girl piteously.
"iiard tor you, said her compau
ion, simply, "jno one will care
when I am gone."
Aud then both were silent; but
their hands met and did not part
again. Out on Irom the living world
by fast approaching death, they felt
the need of clinging to something n
that grim isolation of the grave
Parted in life they were drawn to
tether as lite ebbed away.
A II at once Lora uttered a wild
cry tne crv oi a sudden revulsion ot
hope, following up otter disuair.
A boat! a boat! We may yet be
saved!"
Thank God!" ejaculated Melin
court tcrverently, as the flitting sail
caught his eye.
instantly his powerful voice was
uplifted in a shout that made the air
ring. lwice tne nail seemed uu
heeded, and their hearts died within
them: but the third time came a
faiut answering shout, and the boat,
veering suddenly, made straight for
the snot where thev stood, liien

went forward to the bow (blessings
on him for a considerate old fellow)
and busied himself with fie manage
ment of the boat.
'Mis? Maynard," said Ashley,
solemnly, "alter what we have passed
through to-day there cau be no re
serve between us. I owe it to you
to explain my rudeness the other day,
by showing you that my hatred of
critics and criticism is not without
caue. Two years ago a dear friend
of mine died very suddenly and left
ins widow almost starving; and, un
happily I w;3 quite uuable to help
her, except bv w riting a book which
mi;ht, I luii.til, yield money enough J
to keep her from absolute wa-it. I
had to write it in a desperate hurry,
of course, as my kind critics were
good enough to remark; but still, I
thuik it might have sucd the j o.;r
woman if one of those s'ashin
articles in tbe New York Umpire haa

"The New York Umpie!i: echoed
L-iiira, in a voice so unlike her own
that it made him start. "VVhat w,s

"'Withered Leaves.'"
Laura uttered a stifle 1 cry, and,
bursiiiv; into tears, seized his hand iu
both her own.
"Oh, Mr. Melincourt, can yon fo--give
me? That horrible review I
wrote it!"
Melincourt looked at her in silent
amazement.
"L wrote it,! she repeated, with a
woman's impetuous eagerness to
atone f c : any injustice; "but oh, I
never dreamed how could I ? what
harm I was doing never! never!
And tothink bow I enjoyed writing it
and read bits of it to my friends,
while all the while Can you
ever forgive me ?"
"My wife and I neyer bad but oue
quarrel," said Ashley Melincourt,
some years later; and that, lucki'y,
was before our marriage, over a book
of mine that she cut up. bhe 11 hard

Makquette, Mich, Aug. 31.
"Black Bait," the lor.e highway
man of Wisconsin, was captured at
Republic this morning.
He is the man who one noon
held up the Gogebic Etage. There
were four prominent people in it:
Donald McKerchar of tbo Frst
National batik of Minneapolis;
A. G. Fleischbein of Belleville,
111. ; Robert Pinter of the Bank f
Montreal, Chicago, and William
Pakden, also of Chicago. When he
stopped the stage and demanded
that the party deliver up, one
them began firing at him. The
robber returned the fire and Man
chester was badly wounded, but
will recover. Fleischbein was hit
twice and fell out of the coach.
while the horses dashed away witk
the rest of the party. The robber
weut through Fleifchbein and then
disappeared. Three hours later
Fleischbein was picked up and
cared for, but died that night.
Parties with bloodhounds were at
once organized and a systematic
hunt began, which ended as above
stated. "Black Bart's" right name
is Schymande Holzhey, and he has
been a tenor to tbe whole
country around, holding up stages
or railroad trains or individuals
indiscriminately.
THS ROBBER CONFESSES.
Marquette, (Mich.). Aug. 31.
When the south bouna Milwaukee
& Northern train from Champion
reached Republic at 7 o'clock,
Depaty Sheriff Glade stepped
the train and arrested a man who
answered in every particular the
description of the highwayman
who held up the Gogebic stage. He
will be bioaght here this afternoon.
When the officer made the Jr
rest "Black Bart" drew a revolver
upon hirm. but was promptly
knocked down and the handcuffs
clapped on. The man now con
lesies that he is the ir.an wanted
for the Gogebic staga robbery.
Convincing evidence was found oa
his person in the shape of Ihrea
pocketbooks, one belonging to
Fleischbein and bearing his name.
He also had three revolvers and
ibree watches.
TELEGRAPH SEKYICE.
An Agreement Will Prol-ably bo
r eacbed on Wananaker's Line.
WAsniGTOx, Aug. 31. Postmaster-General
Wanamaker and
President Norvin Green had a con
sultation last evening respecting
the telegraph service furnished the
government by tbe Western Union
Telegraph Company. While de
tails of the plan have not been ar
ranged, it is understood that satis
factory progress has been made
toward an agreement on the lines
laid down by the postmaster-general.
The question of rates to tbe
government for telegraph service is
the point at issue, but by no means
tbe principal question, as Postmaster-General
- Wanamaker's plans
contemplate a considerable enlarge
ment of the functions of the post
office department in co-operation
with the telegraph companies, to
secure a cheaper and better service.
The pofBi ility of a postal tele
