I ’ ve spent enough time at it. Singerly- Then she said your maimers were perfect.

Did she say anything else* Singerly—Oh, yes. She spoke alsmt your conversation.

Lieutenant Blank of the army is 6 feet 4 ' inches tall and lips the scale at ’. $0pounds. He was stationed lor many years iu Wash­ ington, attmin'd to a scientific bureau of the government, his writings being well known to the scientific world. Much of Ids w ritin g was »lone evenings at home, and he would sometimes carry home necessary reference lasiks and return them to his .»(lice at will. One morning he gathered together several, none of them very small, and putting them under hi* arm start'd for his office. In the cours«' of his walk he was brought face to faee with a very black little negro, who, with arms akimbo, cbiu dropped and liis shining black eyes llllcd with wonder, hud planted hiiuself directly iu front of Lieutenant Blank. Before the gentleman had tim e to do more than take in this api*arition of dark ness the little “ piekanliiuy’ ’ had thrown back b it head, so as to I h * able to gaxe up Into the lieutenant's face, and in a tone of comical ama/.cmcnt exclaimed; “ Glide gracious, mister, is you gwitte to school ?"— Yoiit h’s i ’om pan ion. "Bless you, no; not blood relatives. Ivan is my uncle by marriage, and only great-great nncle at that. Ilia w ife hav­ ing been great aunt to my mother.” One niglit and once again, as we walked beneath the heavy screen o f the park tree 3 , a shadow fell in front o f us— the figure of a woman, it appeared to me—and as quickly did it flit away again. 1 remember having tw ice re­ marked it to Ivan. On the second occa­ sion the shallow came just as we were replighting our troth and naming the day. I started, considerably frightened. Ivan calmed me. " I t was nothing," he remarked; “ only a branch o f that tall tree swinging across our path.” “ But if it had been—if it could have understood—if it could have spoken— that shadow would have heard our pledges!" “ And you are ashamed o f them, my darling?” “ No! oh, no, Ivan. Only I am a crea­ ture of such silly suspicions. My nation —my dear Swedish people—are some­ how imbued more or less with a belief in "eerie things,’ as the Scots say. It may be a fault, but it was born in me. Even when I was a child my old nurse used to tell me tales of strange gnomes and hobgoblins, saying that they swarm­ ed about us, and the lesson seems to have followed me. So do not chide m e!" His answer was that which he always gave when 1 pleaded for grace. He kissed me. The shadowy figure had faded into space. As it was his custom to confide all of his little adventures to me, he found it quite in his turn of fancies one evening to relate a little incident that had that morning leaped into his life. It hap­ pened fully a fortnight after my receipt of Olef’s letter. Ivan had returned home long after his usual hour. “ What kept you bo long, Ivan?” tasked as he came down to dinner. “ A most peculiar circumstance, m/ darling Cesca," he answered. “ 1 was passing along Broadway, near Canal street, to my office when a young man met me. He carried a traveler’s bag in his hand and had evidently just arrived from a journey. As our eyes clashed lie itomxxl suddenly, shocked, it seemed, by a momentary pang in bis head—vertigo it looked like to me— threw up his hand, quickly passed his fingers over his brow, clutched at his throat as if he would tear open his collar to relieve a strangling sensation, and losing consciousness he reeled and fell. As he came to the ground 1 supported him, and with the aid o f a pu.wrby we carried him to a little shop in Canal street. But as he did not survive I had him conveyed to the hospital.” “ But that did not keep you ull day. Come, Ivan, confess now." “ A h ," he answered, " it took up three vr four hours of my time, uud ns my office duties require a measured amount of attention each day 1 was obliged to stop there until I got through with my corresp) nidence. ” 1 accepted his explanation. “ But the man’s name?" I added. "Y o u did learn that?" ’How could I? Ho had not come to his senses when 1 left liiin." But he must have carried paiiers?” ‘I f he did tlie}’ were locked in his bug." ‘How old was he?” ‘Perhaps five-and-twenty.” ‘American?” ‘A foreigner, I fancy." ‘A foreigner!" 1 cried. M y head reeled. "W h a t if it had been—hut such nousen.se! It could uot have been Olef! You know Olef, of course! You were born next door to him, or ho to you. rather." “ What put that thought into your lit­ tle head?” lie laughed. “ Besides, this w ill dispel your presentment,” and he handed me a letter addressed to him, re­ ceived that morning, postmarked Stock­ holm.

The waters o f the Hudson rose and ¡tranced anti stood up right. A great, roaring noise of threat and chaos tilled the air, deafening in its force. The waters below dashed and foamed. Small sails were picked up tossed autl hurled shoreward. Tho outing parties made for the shel­ ter of cafes and the village near by. Confusion reigned. The sky grew dark black. The imps of evil seemed to rise out of the very earth beneath our feet. Agents of fury and warning dan­ gled from the sky. A brilliant flash of lightning crossed the scene, quickly followed by a crash of thunder. I citing to Irene, who was quaking with fright. The flush had told me that Ivan was deathly pale. "T o o late to move now!" was all that he could say. “ But it is hardly upon us. W e might reach the nearest cafe. Besides, this tree is a dangerous conductor,” I pro­ tested. “ The whole scene is shrouded,” he whispered. “ W e are as safe here as any where!” Another flash came! In the direction of tho bushes to the west I noticed a figure stealing toward us—a woman. “ Look! She has lost her way. Come nearer to me— closer, Ivan, closer! I fear! I tremble!” 1 cried, as he clasped mo in his anus. But the woman only quickened her pace, which we discov­ ered by the frequent flashes o f light. Faster and faster she run toward us. Irene, becoming inconsolable, nished off to tho nearest cafe. The woman was now upon us! For uu instant a bright flash illuminated the (pot. 1 looked; 1 saw a face. Great God! Vera! “ Ivan!" I cried. "D o you see! A spirit! Her spectre! Vera's ghost!” The man strove to speak. His tongue was lashed to the roof of his mouth. He moved—confronted her, the phantom like figure, as a daredevil might face a harbinger of death! “ A t last!” the woman cried. “ V era!" screamed Ivan, and fell upon his ktioes before her. “ It is here thut I find you!" she con­ tinued. " I have tracked you many times, thinking that you were hut build­ ing our plans as we agreed." “ A h who agreed?" Ivan cried. "Y on , Ivan Trolsky, my husband, and I, Vera, your wife!” she answered, as Iter hot temper tired her. “ Yes, as we agreed! 1 have crossed your path a score o f times. Under the park tree I hoard you plight your troth. In the lover’s seat 1 have heard your passionate words of love. 1 have watched autl waited pa­ tiently, believing that you but schemed as we had promised. But now you have gone too far. Your words are no longer empty sounds. You love that, girl! Ah. leny it not! Trust to a woman’s eyes to read the ¡icrfidy in a man’s heart!” “ Vera!" he protested, as I crept further into tho shade to miss tho flash of her temper. "O ut upon it!" she exclaimed. “ The farce has gone far enough! You would have made it tragedy! Oh, l know! The g irl’s failing health but a few weeks back, her discovery of her weakness, your attempts to poison her! It is too true! And where is the stranger you found fainting in the street? O lef—where is he?" "G o d ! O lef!" I screamed, as the fright­ ful truth all darted to my brain. “ The stranger, the accident, the hospital!" I bent m y tortured heart to listen. “ Where is he?" she repeated. “ Yon have told me in your letters—the forci­ ble detention of Olef at your friend's house—now confess it! And the se­ curities that you stole from his bag and Bent to me! Ah! you would—would have killed the girl for her fortune, as we agreed! But your heart .even blacker than mine, turned false to your w ife! Yon ruined tho plot by your perfidy! Jeal­ ousy drives me to confess it! You loved her! 1 am here to avenge the wrong!

Aye, and with a tragedy indeed! Now pay for yout pins!" Anil w ith the stout arms of a maniac Vera bound him in his tracks; then with giant force she pushed him to the cliff. My heart stood still!

The young man thought she was rhe most beautiful being he had ever seen. He met her iu the house of a friend iu tho village in which she live«!. He was dazed. He followed her around the entire evening He tried to make an impression, and when he came away he thought he had impressed her, and he was in the seventh heaven o f delight He came back to Buffalo. He talked o f the girl by day and dreamed of her by night. Business kept him from going again to the village which held the radiant being within its corporate limit*. He did not know her well enough to write to her. He mope«]. His eyes grew dim. He was as sorely strick­ en w ith love a* a man could be and main­ tain anything like his mental poise. I»ast week one day he heard that she was in this city visiting friend*. He was w ild with delight. A day later a friend of the friends with whom the divinity was stay­ ing came to him and said that he thought he could fix things so the stricken young man could take the southern tier girl to the theater. The young man implored him to do so, and he did. Iu the days between the theater going and the first arrangements the young man lived iu a dream. He invited a married friend and his wife to go along and act as chap­ erons. They said they would. He looked his dress clothes over carefully, hud them cleaned and pressed, bought a new pair of gloves and fixed himself up regardless of cost. The night came. The young man went after the girl with a carriage. It was the best one he could hire. He load the four best seats in the theater. They saw the play, and he took them to the 8we 1 lest cafe in town and had luncheon. He ordered champagne like a California millionaire. Then they drove home. The girl talked o f inconsequential matters. She had liked the play. She told the \oung inan that she would be iu t ho city a month longer. They reached the house of her friends. He helped her out of the carriage, and she tripped up the steps, said “ Good night” sweetly and vanished behind the heavy doors. The young man got in the carriage and drove back to the city. He was so full of the image o f the girl that he was down town before he bad time to think o f any­ thing else. Then one extraneous thought did come to him. He sat up straight in the carriage aud swore a big, triangular oath. She had not asked him to call! H e got out of the carriage and went into a hotel. He sought the reading room and seized a sheet o f paper. Then he put down these figures in a row: Carriage.................................................. $3 00 Tickets................................................... 4 00 Luncheon............................................... 10 00 Gloves.................................................... 2 00 Incidentals............................................. 6 00 TO B K M HER i I r .
