It was a charmingly mild mm! iMhay
day. The sun shone beyond the orchard,
and the shade was cool indde. A ligkt
breeze stirred the boughs of the old ap
ple tree under which the philosopher
at None of these things did the phi

the wind blew about the leaves of,hj
large volume on his knees and he had
to find his place again. Then he weald
exclaim against the wind, shuffle the
leaves till he got the right page and Bat
tle to his reading. The 1ook was a trea
tise on ontology. It was written by aa-'
other philosopher, a friend of this phi
losopher. It bristled with fallacies, and
this philosopher was discovering them
all and noting them on the flyleaf at the
end. He was not going to review the
book, as some might have thought from
his behavior, or even to answer it in a
work of his own. It was just that he
found a pleasure in stripping any poor
fallacy naked and crucifying it
Presently a girl in a white frock came
into the-orchard. She picked np an ap
ple, bit it and found it ripe. Holding it
in her hand, she walked up to where
tho philosopher sat and looked at him.
He did not stir. Sho took a bite out of
tho apple, munched it and swallowed
it Tho philosopher crucified a fallacy
ou tho flyleaf. The girl flung the apple
away.
"Mr. Jerrtingham, " said she,
you very busy?"
The philosopher, pencil in hand,
looked up.
"No, Miss May, "said he, "not very."
"Because I want your opinion. "
"In one moment, " said the philoso
pher apologetically.
He turned back to the flyleaf and be
gan to nail the last fallacy a little tight;
er to the cross. The girl regarded him
first with amused impatience, then with
a vexed frown, finally with a wistful re
gret He was so very old for his age,
she thought He could not be much be
yond SO. Hib hair was thick and full of
waves, his eyes bright and clear, his
complexion not yet divested of all
youth's relics.
"Now, Miss May, I'm at your serv
ice," said the philosopher, with a lin
gering look at his impaled fallacy. And
he closed tho book, keeping it, however,
on his knee.
The girl sat down just opposite to
him.
"It's a very important thing I
to ask you," she began, tugging at
tuft of crass, "and it's verv difficult.
and you mustn't tell any one I asked
you at least, I'd rather you didn't. "
"I shall not speak of it indeed I
shall probably not remember it," said
the philosopher.
"And you mustn't look at me, please,
while I'm asking you. "
"I don't think I was looking at vour
but if I was I bog your pardon, " said
the philosopher apologetically.
She pulled the tuft of grass right out
of the ground and flung it from her
with all her force.
"Suppose a man" she.began. "No,
that's not right."
"You can take any hypothesis you
please," observed the philosopher, "but

"Oh, we can leave the rest out, " said
Miss May, with a sudden dimple

"Very well," said the philosopher,
"if they are irrelevant, we will put

"Suppose, then, that one of these
men was, oh, awfully in lovo with the

"A moment!" said tho philosopher,
openiug a notebook. "Let mo take
down his proposition. What was it?"
"Why, proposed to heir asked her to
marry him, " said the girl, with a stare.
"Dear me, how stupid of me! I forgot
tnat Bpecial use of the word. Yes?"
"Tho girl likes him pretty well, and
her people approve of him and all that,v
you know."
"That simplifies tho problem, " said
the philosopher, nodding again.
"But she's not in in lovo with nr"t
you know. She doesn't really care for
him inuch. Do you understand?"
"Perfectly. It is a most natural state
of mind."
"Well, then, suppose that there's an
other man what are you writing?"
"I only put down (B liko that"
pleaded the philosopher, meekly exhib
iting his notebook.
Sho looked at him in a sort of help
less exasperation, with just a smile some
where in the background of it
"Oh, you really are' ' she exclaimed.
"But let me go on. The other man is a
friend of the girl's. He's very clever
qh, fearfully clever, aud he's rather
handsome. You needn't put that down."
"It is certainly not very material, "
admitted the philosopher, and he crossed
out "handsome." "Clever" he left
"And the girl is most awfully -she
admires him tremendously-. She thinks

girl paused.
"I'm following," said tho philoso

"Sho'd think it better than the whole

philosopher.
"Well,, then, what ought she to do?

Jerningham. It's in in a novel I wae

blushed as she spoke.
"Dear me, and it's quite an interest

Will she act most wisely in accepting

"That's not it How can she marry

"True. I forgot Let us assume,
though, for the moment that he has
asked her. Sho would then have to con

productive of the greater sum total
of"
"Oh, but you needn't consider that "
"But it seems 'tho best logical order.
We can afterward mako allowance for
the element of uncertainty caused by"
"Oh, no. I don't want it liko that I

her."
"Yom apprehend that"
"Never mind what 'I apprehend.'
Take it just as I told you. "
"Very good. A has asked her hand, B
has not"
. "Yes."
"May I take it that but for the dis
turbing influence of B A would be a sat
isfactory or candidate?' '
'Ye-cs. I think so."
She therefore enjoys a certainty of
considerable happiness if sho marries
A?"
"Ye-es. Not perfect because of B,
you know."
"Quite so, quite so, but still a fair
amount of happiness. Is it not so?"
"I don't--well, perhaps. "
On tho other hand, if B did ask her,
we are to postulate a higher degree of
happiness for her?"
"Yes, please, Mr. Jerningham much
higher."
"For both of them?"
, "For her never mind him. "
"Very well That again simplifies
the problem. But his asking her is a
contingency only?"
- "Yes, that's all."
The philosopher spread out his hands.
. "My dear young lady," he said, "it
becomes a question of degree. How
probablo or improbable is it?"
"I don't know. Not very probable
unless"
"Wcll?"
"L"TJhIcs3 ho did happen to notice, you
know."
"Ah, yes, wo supposed that if he
thought of it ho would probably tako the
desired step at least, that he might be
led to do so. Could she not cr indi
cate her preference?"
"Sh9 might try no, she couldn't do
much. You see, he he doesn't think
about such things. "
"I understand precisely, and it seems
to me, Miss May, that in that very fact
we find our solution. "
"Do we?" she asked.
"I think so. Ho has evidently no nat
ural inclination toward her perhaps
not toward marriage at alL Any feeling
aroused in him would be necessarily
shallow, and in a' measure artificial, and
In all likelihood purely temporary.
Moreover, if she took steps to arouse his
attention, ono of two things would be
likely to happen. Are you following
me?"
Yes, Mr. -Jerningham. "
er lie would be repelled by her
overtures, which you must admit is not
improbable, and then tho position would
be unpleasant and even degrading for
her, or, on the other hand, he might,
through a misplaced feeling of gallan
try" "Through what?"
"Through a mistaken idea of polite
ness or a mistaken view of what was
land allow himself to be drawn into a
connection for which he had no genuine
liking. You agree with me that one or
the other of these things would bo like
ly?" "Yes, I suppose they would, unless
he did come to caro for her. "
"Ah, you return to that hypothesis! I
think it's an extremely fanciful one.
No, she needn't marry A, but she must
let B alone."
The philosopher closed his book, took
off -his glasses, wiped them, replaced
them and leaned back against the trunk
of tho applo tree. Tho girl picked a dan
delion in pieces. After a long pause she
asked:'
'You -think B's feelings wouldn't be
i all likely to to change?"
""That depends on the sort of man ho
loved, 'don't they?"
"To crave for love is an almost uni
versal instinct, Miss May."
"Yes, almost," sho said, with a
dreary little smile. "You see, he'U get
old and ad have no one to look after
him."
"He will."
"And no homo."
A SLUMMING EXPERIENCE.
Well, in a sense, none," corrected
the philosopher, smiling. "But really
you'll frighten me. I'm a bachelor my
self, you know, Miss May. "
"Yes, " sho whispered just audibly.
' 'And all your terrors are before me. ' '
"Well, unless"
"Oh, wo needn't have thaf'unless, ' "
laughed the philosopher cheerfully.
"There's no 'unless' about it, Miss
May."
Tho girl jumped to her feet For an
instant she looked at tho philosopher.
She opened her lips as if to speak, and
at tho thouiht of what lay at her
tongue's tip her faco grew red. But the
philosopher was gazing pest her, and
his eyes rested in calm contemplation on
tho gleaming paddock.
"A beautiful thing sunshine, to be
sure," said he.
Her blush faded away into paleness;
her lips closed. Without speaking she
turned and walked slowly away, her
head drooping. Tho philosopher heard
tho rustle of her skirt in tho long grass
of tho orchard. Ho watched her for a
few moments.
"A pretty, graceful creature," said
he, with a smile. Then he opened his
book, took his pencil in his hand and
slipped iu a careful forefinger to mark
tho fly leaf.
The sun had passed midhcaven end
began to decline westward beforo ho fin
ished tho book. Then ho stretched him
self and looked at his watch.
"Good gracious, 2 o'clock! I shall bo
lato for lunch !' ' And ho hurried to his
feet
He was very lato for luncli.
' 'Everything's cold, ' ' wailed his host
ess. "Where havo you been, Mr. Jern
ingham?" "Only in tho orchard, reading."
"And you've missed May!"
"Missed Miss May? How do you
mean? I had a long talk with her this
morning a most interesting talk. ' '
"But you weren't hero to saygood
by. Now, you don't mean to say that
you forgot that sho was leaving by the 2
o'clock train? What n man you are!"
"Dear nie, to think of my forgetting
it!" said tho philosopher shamefacedly.
"Sho told me to say goedby to you
for her."
"She's kind. I can't forgive myself. ' '
His hostess looked at him for a mo
ment Then she sighed and smiled and
sighed again.
"Havo you everything you want?"
sho asked.
"Everything, thank you, "said he,
sitting down opposite tho choose and.
propping his book ho thought ho would
just run through the last chapter again
against the loaf; "everything in the
world that I want, thanks. "
His hostess did not tell him that the
girl had come in from the apple orchard
and run hastily up stairs, lest her friend
should see what her friend did see in her
eyes, so that ho had no suspicion at all
that ho had received an offer of mar
riago and refused it. And ho did not re
fer to anything of that sort when he
paused ouco in his reading and ex
claimed: "I'm really sony I missed Miss May.
That was an interesting case of hers.

reason against the amendment. It is
a happy go lucky affair, the only

in your vest pocket "
Tho gentleman was very indignant
and replied: "You aro making a groat
fus3 about a little thing. This spoon
isn't valuable anyhow. Here it is.'
Tho hotel keeper remarked that the
spoon i3 solid silver, and that it is of
some consequence whether guests pocket
them after their meals. The stranger

now game, sho might as well bo out of

With a view to finding out what slum
ming in the toughest regions is like tho
reporter went to headquarters and asked
one of Byrnes' oldest and most trusted
detectives to tell him somo of his expe
riences in taking slumming parties
about in the region east of tho Bowery.
"It's a good while now since I've
done any of that business, " said the de
tective, "and there's very few that we
take around Cherry hill and its alleys.
It's too ronrrh for lnrliM nnd fn-r mrat
men. One of the last parties that I took ff
through thero was three young men who
were going to do missionary work. They
were ministers, and they wanted to see
what life was liko where it's least worth
living, so I took them down to Double
alley. That's a 12 foot wide street about
200 feet long and hedged in by eight
story tenements. It runs off Cherry
street, and it furnishes more crime and
violence to tho square inch than any
other place in New York, with the pos
sible exception of Singlo alloy, which is
nearby.
"Of course wo attracted attention
there. Tho urchins yelled at us, tho loaf
ers scowled at us, and unkoinpt hags
stuck their heads out of windows over
head and mado unpleasant comments.
Wo paid no attention. Ono can't afford
to bo squeamish in Double alley. The
young ministers, however, began to look
rather uncomfortable, and I reckoned
they wero getting scared and wished
they'd staid at home. That wasn't
their kind, though, as I found out pretty
quickly. When we got pretty near to the
end of tho place, we heard a terrifio
howling and yelling in one of the houses.
There were cries of 'Murder!' and 'Help!'
mingled with curses and groans. It was
a characteristic Cherry Hill mixed ale
row from all indications. In a minute
out staggorod a drunken woman, her
forehead bleeding profusely from a gash
mado by some sharp instrument Closo
after her came a big, burly longshore
man brandishing a bottle. He reached
tho woman aud brought the bottle down
on her head with terrific force, stretch
ing her to tho pavement Then ho began
kicking her. I started for him, but one
of tho young men was before me. He
hit the longshoreman just once, and that
was enough. Tho man went down like
a log.
"Then there was tho devil to pay.
Half a dozen big ruffians poured out oi
tho doorway and mado for tho minister.
Ho knocked the first ono off his feet, but
tho second ran 111 and grappled with
him. By this time I and tho other two
wero taking a hand in it There was
nothing scared about those fellows then.
I afterward found out that they had all
been football players in college. They
fought like devils, and with tho odds
against us wo cleaned out the gang in
about half a minute. A couple of po
lice camo running in, and three of the
roughs wero arrested. The woman went
to tho hospital, whero it was found that
she was only slightly injured. Skulls
arc thick in Doublo alley. Our party
was a little tho worse for wear. My hat
was lost in tho scuffle. One of the min
isters had his coat torn half off, another
lost his spectacles and the temporary use
of ono eye, while the chap that had
waded in first was wiping tho blood
from his face and nursing a sprained
thumb. When ho said good night to me,
ho remarked:
" 'This experience has been a lessen to

tonight thero is plenty of room for mis

WILD BEASTS IN DEMAND.
Just at Frcscat Mcnaserles and Zoological
Gardens Aro Short on Untamed Animals.
Thero is a sudden and unprecedented
increaso in tho demand for wild animals
at present not only for tho continent
but for the United States. The stocks in
most of tho European zoological gardens
havo decreased of late, a shrinkage part
ly caused by the closure of tho Sudan
by the dervishes.
In America tho popularity of the great
menagerie at the World's fair has cre
ated a sudden demand for wild nnimlg
of all kinds. Circuses and private men
ageries are competing with tho zoolog
ical gardens and scientific societies for
rare and interesting animals, and the
demand for America is far greater than
for tho continent of Europe. v
After five or six years of neglect thero
is such a boom in tho wild beast trade as
is hardly remembered. Until the expe
ditions which Hagenbeck and others
have dispatched into central Africa, via
Berbera, and into Borneo and the west
coast of Africa, return, there is little to
fall back upon but the average supply
which arrives without system and in
chanco ship?. A single purchaso by an
agent from the PMladelphia Zoolog
ical gardens included a leopard, a hyena,
a pair of cheetahs, n Eornean bear, an

their hats in further recognition of the

After a short ride tho lady and gentle

A NEGRO PLAYS SPOOK.
MJddlepoInt RcMdents Lay the Ghost Whien
Has Disturbed Them.
It turns out that the spook that has
been making life a burden for tho citi
zens of Middlopoinr, O., and the Pitts
burg, Fort Wayno and Chicago railroad
men is a human being, and a colored
person at that. The citizens of that place
were determined to solve the. mystery,
and a reward of o0 was offered to any
one who would spend a night at tho
water station and capture tho ghostly
specter. Failing to find any one who
would undertake the task, they appoint
ed a committee to investigate.
Thursday night the committee, which
was composed of three men, two shot
guns, ono revolver and a braco of bull
dogs, started for tho water station and
secreted themselves in tho pumphouse.
They watched in silenco until about 11
O'clock, when a man was seen making
nis way across aUeld to tho station. Ho
ensconsed himself behind tho water tank
and prepared for his work by placing a
sheet over his head and a football that
had been painted white in his left hand.
He had not long to wait for a victim. A
young man was returning from a spell
ing match with his best girl, and when
they wero within 50 feet of the station
tho spook noiselessly mado its way to
the railroad end stationed itself between
the rails. Tho sight of the specter was
too much for tho young man's nerves, and

Alice Ayres, a London servant, saved
three of her master's children from a

the flames. A popular fund placed an
expensive monument over her grave and
hung a painting of the scene of the res

The New York Sun printed an article
a short time ago setting forth various
predictions that the 17 year locusts
would appear this spring in great num

Connecticut and northern New Jersey.
Becent digging in the neighborhood of
Nyack, it is said, reveals the presence of
thousands of tho larvae of this insect get
ting ready for their transformation,
which generally takes place in this lati
tude early in June. The insects are now
found at an average depth of four feet.
At this point the committee swooped
down upon tho spook and captured it
after a chaso of half a mile. The sheet
was removed, and the spook was recog
nized as Georgo Bartley, a colored man.
Tho committeo started back to town with
their prisoner, two of them carrying the
arsenal and tho third leading tho cap

ley succeeded in breaking away from his
captors and started for tho woods. Sev
eral shots were fired af tor him. It is not
known whether they took effect, as after
reaching thowoocb ho gavohis pursuers
