GISELFS CAPRICE.
The saloon wns lighted by a single
lamp which sheo! a soft radiance
throughout the room. It was simply
furnished, hut was adorned with a
profusion of flowers and plants. Three
persons were in the saloon Mme. de
ilalny. (iisele, her daughter, und the
hitter's betrothed. Kolwrt de (Jillis,
who was soon to he her husband.
Cisele. who was in her ISth year,
was very lteaiitiful. She was a nat
ural blonde. Her smile had the double
advantage f showing pretty teetli and
two charming little dimples in her rosy
hecks. Ib-r eyes were very hand
some, but I heir glance was somewhat
imp-riiL-. She was dressed in a rbe

had been reared by an indulgent
mother, lier father hating died dur
ing lier infancy. Although Mine. U
Ialnys income was barely suHicicnt
to support herself and her daughter
she managed to gratify (iisele's every
whim anl her whims were many, for
she was a child of caprice.
Many admirers paid suit to Iisele,
but .-lie Miiilcd on none until Hobert
de liillis threw himself and his fortune
at her feet.
In Robert. (Iisele fmnd her supreme
triumph, for by his iin.diish devotion

manly and very wealthy.
While Mme. de ltalny was working
at her embroidery and Kohert and
tii.-ele were holding a tender conversa
tion the loor of the saloon was opened
and (iforjf Langle was announced.
"(lood evening, my dear madame."
said the new-comer, as he entered.

"Ah. good evening, my dear Langle

guest. "This is, indeed, an agreehle

turning to Kohert. Langle said:
I knew thai I would rind you here,
and that is why I called so late wish
ing to have you present to second a
proposition w hich I desire to make to
these ladies."
"Ah! tell u. What is it?" exclaimed
(iisele.
"My mot tier's cottage at St. Cloud
lias just been p:r. in order f:r the sum
mer, " replied Lsngle. "We are going
to drive over there to-morrow morn
ing and she desires that yon will ac
company us. We shall leae Paris in
good season so as to avoid the heat of
the day. Ilivakfast will await u oa
our arrival.. We will spend the warm
part of the day swinging in our ham
mocks and gossiping under the elms.
"We will dine al fresco and then, if
Mdlle. (iisele approves of the plan, we
will attend the fete of St. Cloud, at
which, among other attractions, will
be the great lion-tamer, he illustrious
Bidel. with his menagerie. That is
the projMisition I have to otTer."
"Itravo!" ciied (Iisele. "Your plan
is charming, charming! Is it not Rob
ert?" she asked, turning to her lover.
Robert agreed with (iisele that their
friends plan was faultless and it was
adopted with enthusiasm.
Accordingly t he following day found
Mme. de Rainy, her daughter and
Robert at St. ('loud a the quests of
M. Langle and his mother. The day
was sjHMit in those delightful ways
which jeople escaping from the city in
the earlv summer lind for passing the
time in the count ry.
(iisele. however, was all anticipation
t;i regard to the approaching fete, and
especially in regard to the lion-tamer.
Ri'lel. of whose exploits she had heard
great deal. Immediately after din
ner, therefore, (iisele. Robert and
Langle went t the fete, the elder
ladies preferring to remain at the cot
taire. They tirst attended Ridel's perform
ance, w ith his 11 ti v. !ii-!i (ii-ele
watched with the livi-Ii.-t interest.
A-the perf. ;'iilaii-e ;rew to a close
(iisele became so ellt ll llr-ia-t ii' in re-
raril to Ridel's bravery that Laurie
said, jokingly, that .-lie ouht to mar
ry a lion-tamer.
"Such is my intention." replied
(Iisele. -for I am sure that RoU-rt will
not deny the tirst rjuet I have ever
made of hi m. Will jmi. Robert?" she
ndded. turning to him.
-What!" exclaimed Roliert. "I
you vih me to entT the lion's i-ae?"
-Ves. Does that surprise you?"
"A little. I confess."
"You ouht t have a much courage
s a Miliar tamer of animals." said
(iisele. who .-.eeined to be put out by
her lover's backwardness in bearding
the lion to plea-e her whim.
"Rut to do w hat you ak mi to do
would by no means ! roof f
i-oiirape.'' answered RolM-rt. "It would
be a ridiculous act on my part, tor I
voiild be eMij.injr inw-lf for no pur
pose:" "You speak lightly of the prospect
of.lieiD" Woureil.' s.iiJ Lanjrie lauh-
L,angie wished to laugh Giaele out of
her caprice. Gisele, on the other
hand, did not really wish her lover to
enter the lion cage, but she wanted
him to seem ready to do even that for
her.
"Then you refuse?" she asked Rob
ert, with an an air of disdain.
Langle, without giving Robert an
opportunity to reply, said:
"Certainly he refuses, for the con
ditions are not the same for him as for
Ridel, who has been long;accustomed
to being among wild animals and has
made a careful study of their charac
ter. "You seem to take great interest in
a matter which does not concern you,
said (iisele, who was vexed by Langle'a
opjx)sition.
"Rut," replied Langle gravely,"what
you ask Robert to do is very danger
ous. Besides, you forget that his
mother adores him and that she will
never forgive you if you make him
expose himself in this perilous man
ner." Rut Gisele insisted.
"Very well," said ' Robert, coldly,
will enter the cage, if Bidel will allow
me to do so, as soon as the spectators
have departed. I do not wish to give
a public exhibition of - my courage,"
he added, with a tinge of sarcasm in
his tone.
"Ah! I knew you would consent!"
exclaimed Gisele, with apparent de
light. "I will arrange the matter at once,"
said Robert.
He went to Ridel, with whom he held
a short conversation, then returned
saying:
"The. lions w ill be fed in a few min
utes. I will enter the cufe then with
Bidel.
By this tim the spectators had de
parted. Robert. Langle and (iisele ap
proaehed tho cage. Presently the
lion-i.amer joined them, lie told Rob
ert he was ready to feed the lions aim
invited him into the cage.
"No. Robert, do not enter the rage.
I asked im to do so only because I
wanted jmi to seem ready to expose
yourself to any danger for my sake."
"Pardon me, disele. tor not acced
ing to this new caprieo of yours as to
the lirst." replied Robert. "I have
resolved to enter the cage and I shall
do so."
Robert turned away from Gisele and
a moment afterward he and the lion
tamer entered the cage. The lions,
eight in number, moved hither and
thither, obedient to the command of
their master, but their large golden
eyes showed their astonisment at the
presence of this intruder who accom
panied him.
(iisch: and Langle looked on in si
lence ami in agony, (iisele, who was
very pale, was only prevented from
giving voice to her angush by the fear
of aggravating lier lover's peril. Her
eyes, which were big with fright, were
lixed on Robert. He, on the other
hand, was quite calm, at least in ap
pearance. Like Bidel, he was armed
with a bar of iron and a rawhide. He
was thus doubly prepared to repel the
lions if they came too near him.
Robert was in the cage about five
minutes. Then he left it and re
joined Gisele, who, radiant with joy,
her hands extended, exclaimed:
"Oh, Robert! how I admire you! How
I "
Robert took one of Gisele's hands in
his and, interrupting her, said, in a
calm voice:
"Do not prise my exploit too much,
for the act which you applaud was per
formed for my own sake rather than
yours. If I am brave, as now you evi
dently think me, I confess that I am
not w"ithout fear that I shall not al
ways be able to accede to your desires,
and as it would pain me to cross so
charming a woman I renounce the
honor of being your husband."
As soon as they returned to the cot
tage the party started for Paris.
When they reached Gisele's home
Robert bade her good-bv with a pro
found bow. On entering the house

she was accustomed to receive each

Truttle-IIiintiiiic with Pigs.
Speaking of pigs reminds me that I
lately went truffle-hunting with one.
It was not near Paris, for there are no
truffles hereabouts, but far to the
south, in the region of the Dordogne.
The pig was about the ugliest ami
most depraved-looking beast of its kind
that can be imagined one with a
stilted back and shockingly exagger
ated nose,having the curve of a puni
handle. but. like many human beings
who are not beautiful, it was exceed
ingly intelligent. Its greediness, of
course, made it so. but greediness is
not always a corrective to stupidity.
The truffle-hunter-in -chief was the
pig's master, ami as far as apjearance
went theTe was really not much differ
ence between them. He had also a
bent back and a nose that seemed to
have been designed for no other pur
pose than that of turning up truffles.
Nevertheless, it was the pig that did
all the digging work, the man's part
of the business being to take care that
the cryptograms did not get swallowed
on the spot. To guard against this
accident he had iilled his pockets with
maie. a few grains of which the ani
mal accepted in exchange for a truffle.
Once it twice the svharilic instinct of
the beast were too strong for its judg
ment, and it ate the fungus before tin
man had time to snatch it. but blows
upon the no.-e with a stick count er
hn la need the satisfaction thus derived,
and the pig. being a reasonable ani
mal, soon came to the conclusion that
it was better to aceept Ithe maize and
leave the truffles. I'uri Litter tu Has

He wm a little man, thinly clad for
such a cold morning, and as he went
along Monroe street pushing his hands
down deep into, his pockets, holding
firmly with his teeth an old mouth
organ, f a which he was blowing vigor
ously, and dancing to the tune he tried
to play, he was the observed of all the
observers and the source of much
amusement.
"You took a little too much o' your
bitters this mornin". didn't you,
stranger?" asked the proprietor of the
fruit-stand on the corner, as the little
man paused in his glee and looked at
the display of candy, bananas and
grapes.
"You are misUken.sir," was the dig
nified answer. "I am not drunk, upon
my word I am not. I was never mora
sober in my life."
"WelL you mast be crazy, then,"
persisted the incorrigible fruit-seller,
"or you wouldn't go along the street
cuttin' such a figger."
"No, nor I'm not cray," was the re
sponse. "I'm happy, that's all."
"Humph! You'd better be a little
bit careful how you show your happi
ness, or you'll get a policeman after
you. What makes you so happy?"
Before answering the little man
danced and played spiritedly for a few
minutes, and then he said:
"Last night I was hungry, for I had
had nothing to eat all day. I was
cold, too, and I had no place to stay,
no money, and nothing to sell. I re
belled against fate then, and cursed
the day that I left my home and came
here to try to do better. I was armost
deserate with the cold and hunger,
when a little girl of 4 years seemed to
read my minl. and came up to me ana
asked me if I had any home. I told
her I hadn't, and she said that I should
ro with her: that she and her fattier
had a little room and that I could stay
all night there. Thev had no lire, and
only a erut of bread, but it was bet
ter than being out on the street.
"This morning all gloomy feelings
are "'one, and 1 am triad: glad because
the sun shines; glad there are people
in the world kind enough to ask a
stranger to share their all; glad to see
other people have plenty; glad, in fact.
that 1 m alive. So 1 dance to keep
myself warm, and the sound of any
thing resembling music calms me and
keeps me from thinking how hungry I
am. O, ves! I've much to be thankful
for."
He renewed his innocent revelry,
and his interested audience, their
hearts softened by tho simple story,
gave so freely of their nickels and
dimes that the contribution was such
that for several days at least the merry
philanthropist will not have to dance
to warm himself, nor resort to music
as a means of driving away hunger.

Edge Tools.
It is not generally known that the
light of the sun and the moon exer
cises a deleterious effect on edge tools.
Knives, drills, scythes and sickles as
sume a blue color if they are exposed
for some time to the light and heat of
the sun; the sharp edge disappears
and the tool is rendered absolutely
useless unless it is retempered. Pur
chasers should therefore be on their
guard against buying tools from retail
dealers and peddlers which, for show
purposes, have probably been exposed
for days together to the . glare of the
sun. The unserviceableness of tools
acquired under these conditions is
generally wrongly attributed to bad
material or to inferior workmanship.
A similarly prejudicial effect has been
exercised by moonlight. An ordinary
cross-cut saw is asserted to have lieen
put out of shape in a single night by
exposure to the moon. Iron.

Kaneher in Australia Has Keason to
Believe tlit They Can.
Andrew S. Ogilvie writes as follows
from Tamala. Shark bay, Western Aus
tralia, to the Loudon Spectator: "I
have read with interest jour articles
on the instinct of cattle. That cattle
and horses can communicate with each
other and are endowed with a certain
amount of reasoning faculty the fol
lowing facts are pretty conclusive
proof:
"I once purchased a station on which
a large number of cattle and horses
had gone wild. To get the cattle in I
fenced the permanent water a dis
tance of twenty miles leaving traps
at intervals. At first this answered all
right, but soon the cattle became ex
ceedingly cautious about entering the
traiis. waiting outside for two or three
nights before going in. and if they
could smell a man or his tracks not go
inir in at all. A mob would come to
the trap-gate, ami one would go in and
drink and come out, and men another
would do the same, and so on till all
had watered. They had evidently ar
rived at the conclusion that I would
not catch one and frighten all the
others away.
To get in the wild horses. frK of
which were running on a large plain
(alKiut iO.(KK acres). I erected a stock
yard with a gradually widening lane
in a hollow where it could not easily le
seen, and by stationing horsemen at
intervals on the plain galloped the
wild horses in. . My tirst hunt (which
lasted for some days) was successful,
the wild horses heading toward the
month of the lane without much diffi
cult v. but of course home escaped by
charging back at the stockyard gate
and in other wa s. My second hunt,
altout a month later, was a failure;
everv nioli of horses on the plain seem
ed to know there the yard was and
would not head that way. This seems
to show that the horses that escaped
from the hunt toid all the others
where the stock-yard was."
