Among "a nil, men mid women, nsst-in-bled
In thu drawing-room after n long

who were skeptical, two or three vague

Francois, thoughtfully, "mid u mystery

"Oh, how I wish 1 might Imve soinn

"Well, I don't," responded ono of the

tho other hand, I resent the Iden that,
my own soul, when It la freed from
my body, must bo obliged to clotlio It

"Ono of my friends," said I'rnncols,
"tried the experiment, und It cost lillu

"Tell us about It," cried tlio women,
drawn by tlio Instinctive delight In tlio
supernatural.
t'raticols responded! "It Is not n very
happy story, but It may bo Interesting.
It shows that It Is not nlwnyH safo to

nnd lio related tlio following:
IMcrro Frnnckcl was ono of Iho best
friends of my childhood, I saw him
again when ho was "0 years old, u pnlo
young man with bloudo hnlr, cyi'H us
bluo as tho sen, singular eyes, large anil

eyes of a girl, somewhat unusual In tho
face of a man. With a delicacy of col

sweetness of volco tho beautiful eyed
gnvo to my poor friend a clumn almost
effeminate. Hut he was n manly re!
low and had a great tunny friends,
lib was S3 years old when ho met
Madeline Mourlco nt n ball given In th
chateau of Chatigls, This young girl
was poor but brilliant unci well turn,
beautiful, ylvticlous nnd gracious, ller

the bluo eyes of Pierre, nnd ho wus
fired with an enthusiastic mid sincere
lovo for her. Ho had been a skeptic

to him with nil thu force of n new ex
perience, nnil she had nothing to lose
by being compared to former objects of
adoration. Klie wns tho first to enter
hla heart, nnd alio took entire hmmcs
sloll. Kbo returned hla love nnd accept
ed Ills propositi of marriage.
It look I'leiTo coine time to tnlk lilt
fmully Into consenting to the match,
but after they had seen mid talked with
.Madeline they succumbed to thu chnrm
of her porsomtllly. They wern married
nud ho took her nwny Immediately to
a house he owned In tho country, when'
limy lived alone and reveled In tho pure
mid happy love they had found In each
other.
Then, suddenly, death broke the
dream. Mine, l-'ruuckel died without
any preparation for death, without suf
fering, while she was seated nt tho
pl.iiio playing u sonata of Mozart's, ou
n beautiful moonlight evening of sum
mer. Her husband ntood leaning
against tho window listening to thu
music nud breathing the fragrance of
the night. The music slopped nt the
precise moment that the soul left tin
In ly, nnd Pierre, surprised nt the pause,
tumid to llnd his wife dead, a smile on
her lips, her bend resting ngnlnst the
Imcli of her chair mid her lingers still
touching the keys of the piano.
I'Nir several year Iho poor man shut
himself up ami' would see no one, hid
ing his suffering from tho world as ho
had bidden bis Joy. One day I called
to see ltl in. mid ou account of our old
friendship I wns admitted. I found but

lug from n nervous disease, lie soon
spoke of Ids sorrow and gradually
opened his whole heart to me.
"The question of Immortality Is con
stantly In my thoughts," ho snld. "For
live years 1 have searched philosophy,
studied hypotheses nud questioned reli
gion, nud I nm still divided between
faith mid doubt, which Is killing me.
If Madeline's soul exists It will mani
fest Itself to inc. I look for her con
stantly, waking nud sleeping, nud I feel
that she must come. 1 would give nil
thu years of life that remain to mu to
see her for one Instant In nil the sweet
ness of her youth und beauty."
1 tried tu turn my friend's thoughts
from this .Idea, for I feared his reason
would give way. Hut ho persisted In
his hope. One dny ho nsked mu If I
knew u certain Claymore, a Scotch
man, who had mndo ul(e a stir In Paris
as n tiKillum. Ho wns n peculiar man,
undoubtedly sincere, nnd I hail enjoyed
meeting him several times.
"You must Introduce me to hint," said
Pierre. "Ho has evoked spirits Into
material form, nud If hu can bring Mad
eline's to mo I will owe him more than
my life."
I used nil my power of pvrsunslon
ngnlnst, this decision, but ie wns firm,
nud Dually I gnvo In. I first went to
Claymore, however, nud told him my
friend's history and begged him not to
abuse n credulity brought about by ex
treme suffering.
"I can glvo 111 in what ho wnnts," re
plied the .Scotchman. "Take mo to
lilm. You may trust me."
"Will you permit tho presenco of n
witness".
"Certainly."
Tho next dny Clnymore, accompanied
by a medium, entered tho house where
Mine,- Priinckol had died five years but
fore, .
It u'ua in .lime. The villa, with Its
closed windows, Bccmcd to deslro to
keep out the soft beauty und warmth
of thu night air. Inside the house nil
wns dark und chilly. Am Pierre met us
he shivered,
"If her soul lives," he said, "It la In
this room." Ills volco shook with min
gled Joy and four.
"l'"or tho Inst time," snld I, "do not
commit nu net at once sacrilegious unit
dangerous," Hut ho did not even' hear
me.
The medium wns n young woman,
pale nud slender, who fixed her Idol
izing looks on Clnyinoro's fnco. Thu
light In tho room wns very dim, coining
from ft single caudle, which stood
nliove tho llreplnco. Tlio window bntl I

the spirit of the dead woman to mani
fest Itself.
"t)h, my sister," snld he, "my un
known sister, departed from this earth,
come back for one Instant In the urn
tcrlnl form you once took ou. Appear,
evoked by fnllh und love. Come! Mad
eline!" His voice rose nud grew ar
dent, while the medium became con
vulned with trembling movements.
All nt once Pierre cried. "Listen!
Listen! The sonata 'of -Moiart!"
A harmony, light nnd soft as a sigh,
flouted from the motionless keys of the
piano, which stood Just within the pale
stream of moonlight.
"She Is coming," said Claymore, sol
emnly, stretching out his hand.
"Madeline! Madeline!" cried Pierre,
falling on h's knees.
1 am telling you whnt I saw or
thought I saw. The room' was dark
save for the one thread of moonlight
which touched the piano and traced a
Hue upon the floor. Suddenly the mys
terious music censed mid In the moon
light, before the piano, the whiteness
seemed to thicken und slowly to form
Itself Into the contours of the human
body. More dlstliiee It grew' until I
saw sitting there a woman dressed In
a long. Mowing gown of white, her head
back ngnlnst her chnlr and a smile on
her. pale Hps.
Pierre Intel sprung to Ids feet.
"It Is you. my belovedl" he cried, nnd
with outstretched nrms lie moved to
ward the white figure and fell nt Its
feet.
At the sound of the fall I threw oft
with a great effort the spell which held
me nnd ran lo lilni. The figure van
ished and 1 raised my friend, to lluu
that he Iind breathed his Inst nt the
feet of Ills dead wife. He had paid
tho price for tho vision. On his face
wns mi expression of purest ecstasy.
There was n long pause when Fran
cois finished his story, which told the
deep effect he had produced upon his
hearers. I'lnally the young woman who
had been most eager lu her request to
hear the talo said, lu n low voice:
"Please let's talk of something else."

Wildcat Are Cm luting and Courageous
unit Hu No! I'enr Mun.
To any that n dog can whip Ids
"weight lu Wild cats" Is to pay about
tho highest tribute to Ids strength, cou
rage nnd activity, find there nre very
few dogs thnt would care to earn such
ii tribute If they understood nil It Im
plied. Not Hint n wild cut Is of u spo
dully nggrosslvu disposition; on tho
contrary, ho would sooner mind his
own business miy time than fight. Ho
anxious Is he, ns a rule, to keep nut or
trouble that lio bus often been accused
of cowardice, but ho has ou so many
occasions given evidence of the most
desperate courage that I doubt If the
accusation "Is a fair one. When wound
ed or at bay be Is perhaps ns dangerous
as miy creuturo of Ids size.
Lynx rufus wns originally an Inhab
itant of tho tropics, but he gradually
worked his way north, and Is now
found lu many of the states from Tex
as to Maine mid nlo In several parts of
Canada. In appearance at this time of
year ho Is a reddish brown nulmnl,
nbout three feet long, Including a
short tull, which Is barred on top with
rufus and black. Thu under surface
of the body Is yellowish white, spotted
with blnck. In the spring the color of
Iho utiner narts will change to grayish
1 1 brown. Tlio female Is much smaller
and more slender than the male, and
In looks and actions bears n stronger
resemblance to thu domestic cat. Her
cars, like those of the male, are sur
mounted by tufts of coarse hair, lesa
conspicuous, however, than those of
the Canada lynx. Tho legs of tho wild
cat are long and the feet large and
nrmcd with strong, sharp claws. The
bind feet are webbed. At Its best It Is
In snvntredooklni; creature, nnd when It
Is angry It growls, spits and rolls Its
blazing eyes In a manner which faith
fully rctlccts the demon character
within.
The food of the bobcat varies with
tho seasons. In the warm weather,
when game Is plentiful, he takes his
pick, but In the winter he Is often glad
to take what he can get. He Is fond of
llsh and frogs, and lu the summer he
follows tho dry beds of the brooks nud
small rivers and fishes In the deep
holes. Ho also eats .hares, rabbits,
squirrels and bats and even beavers
when he Is lucky enough to get them.
He catches a good many birds, too,
chiefly grouse, quail, and other species,
and If tho chicken coops nre not too far
out of the wny he will visit them nnd
carry off tho poultry. Chicago Chron

2- HIE PANAMA'S THE THING J

Now, a little thing like the price of a
Panama that will last through nt least
ouo ralnstorm-?S or ?IO-ls of no cou
sequence, of course. So tunuy of our
worthy fellow citizens nre looking hard
for ways In which to dispose of their
cumbrous Income thnt thu munificence
of tho whole American people seems
to be taken for granted by these gen
tlcmen whose portraits wo see every
day ou the signboards.
Personally, we linvo n strong aver
sion to tho Panama. This aversion has
nothing to do with the fact that our
last straw iiat-a rough pattern, by tho
way Is in presentable condition, or
that wo nre saving up to go to the
still receding St. Louis fair. The fact
Is, the Pauamn Isn't our style. A man

Tho Lost Chllil.
Hero Is an amusing storV told of an
"active and Intelligent" olllcer In the
Metropolitan police force:
The other day he saw n llttlo boy lu
thu Struud crying bitterly. Tho otllccr
loouied up over tho lufant, who sated
up, and, amid sobs, said:
"I'm lost!"
"Where- do you live, llttlo man?"
asked tho coustablo kludly, for he hail
children of his own.
"Iloouoo!" walled thu child. "I don't
know. Hoohoo!"
"Como with me!" said tho otllccr.
"What can your mother bo thinking oi
to let n llttlo one of your size stray
away?"
And nway went tho "bobby," re
solved to Und tho parents of the little
ouo nud to administer a fitting rebuke
when he found them.
As ho was going up Uow street he
met n sergennt,
"What's tho mutter with tho kill J'
Inquired tho sergeant.
"Ilo's lost, nud I'm trying to Und his
mother or father. If I can't drop across
'cm, I'll laud him In the station."
"UaUl" responded tho sergeant.
"Don't you recognize your own boy?"
It Is not known whether thu olllcer
administered a rebuko to tho child's
parents.
