Copyught, 1JJ00, by American Press Anso
elation. I henr 11 number of Americans say
they would like lo live In England.
I've lived In Knglund, and 1 don't wnnt
to live there any more. In the first
ltlnce, they havu as many annoyances
ns wo have, If not more. In the sec
ond, their methods of travel are anti
quated, especially railroad travel.
M'hllo I was living In London I Just
thought I would lllo to gee something
that looked like virgin country. I'd
lived In America, where I could hunt
real game and cateh fish. 1 don't
mean murdering tame deer In a grove.
I mean shooting a wild moose In a
forest. I got stuck on the Idea ouo
day of going llshlng In some of the
streams near London. I borrowed
some llshlng tackle and took a train,
getting out at n station where' they
told me there was a stream. And In
the stream they led me to believe thcro
were llsh. In the last part they lied to
me. There Isn't any llsh or game In
England that doesn't belong to some
one, usually to a big lord whogo ances
tors shot wild game and caught wild
fish n thousand years ago.
I sat down by the side of that stream
thrco mortal hours without seeing my
cork bob once. Then I lea no 1 my back
up against a tree, still holding on to
my rod, and went to Bleep. 1 was
nwakencd by a distant railway wills
tie, and It suddenly occurred to mo to
take the coming train to London. I
jumped up in a hurry, reeled In my
lino and mado for the station. Just
reaching It In time. There were n man
ami a woman In the compartment. I
took n farther corner nnd was settling
myself to continue my nap when the
woman got up and began to howl for
the guard. Ho didn't come quick
enough to suit her, and alio pulled the
cord. The train slowed up. and when
the guard came along, trying to find
out what was the matter, she cried
"Lot mo out! Let mu out! Qulckl"
He openedethc door, and she got Into
another compartment, the man nlpo
getting out at the same time.
tiio tram went on, ami I was won
dcrlng what had bothered them when
I felt something tloklo my wrist. I
felt and caugl.t a black ant. Then 1
saw that I was alive with them. They
covered me from head to foot, crawled
down my neck, up my sleeves nnd my
trousers legs.
Well, there I was In one of those
abominable English railway carriages,
locked In and a myriad of nnts getting
between my clothes and my skin ever;
second. If I'd been on a sensible
American railway I'd linvo gone Into
the baggage car, stripped nnd shaken
them on. However, there Doing no
one but myself In the compartment, 1
started to get off my outer clothing.
Taking off my coat, I shook It out of
the window. Then I did the same with
my trousers. While I was shaking the
trousers the train struck n curve, gnve
a lurch, and I dropped my trousers.
I gasped for breath at my situation.
It would have been bad enough ui
America, but In England, where th
people are so afraid they'll see some
body with his clothing awry, th
thought of people getting Into the com
nartmcnt with me, to hurry out oi
seeing my want of costume, and m
arrival In London In that condition
was truly horrible. At the first station
sovernl people started to come In, bin
I got rid of them. I pretended I was
Insane, making the most frightful faces
at them. At one station I saw a prcl'.j
plrl coming, nnd before she got to the
door 1 began to talk gibberish nnd
laugh. It may seem funny, but I tel.
you there was nothing funny In It a:
the t mo. in this way l sucecoueu in
driving people away, and at last, 1
being reported to the guard that there
was an Insane man In the compart
ment. ho mado sure that I couldn't es
cope.
When we reached the London swv
tlon fully half the passengers who go
off crowded around my compartment
Most of the men nnd some of the wo
men waited while the authorities tele
nhoned to an asylum for keepers to
come and take mo away. Of course 1
couldn't leave, tho car and go out be
fore nil these people with no trousers
on my legs. I was ready to go to an
Insane asylum or anywhere else, pro
vlded they would cover me up. So 1
got as far back In tho carriage as 1
could and waited.
When the olllclals camo tho guard
unlocked tho door, and a man camr
Into the car.
"I'm not crazy," I said. "I've los.
my trousers out of tho window."
"That's nil right," ho said; "eotuo
aloug."
"Look at my legs! Ho you wnnt
tnko mo out In this condition?"
"Hy Jove!" he exclaimed, taking fr
tln situation. Then to tho man be
hind hi in ho added, "Go to the nmbv. J
laneo and got some blankets."
When the blankets camo ho wrapped
them around my legs, and tho men
cnrrled me through the crowd to the
ambulance, put mo In and drove off.
I was tho happiest man In tho three
kingdoms.
On reaching tho nsylum I was car
ried Into a room, whero sat a wlso look
ing doctor, nnd stood upon the tloor
before him. Tho blankets dropped
from my legs, and thcro I was In my
drawers. Hut the doctor was an Eng
lishman, and an Englishman never
smiles except at tho wrong time. How
ever, ho listened to my story I keep
ing mum nbout being an Amerlcan
and when I asked him to send to my
hotel for a pair of trousers ho con
sented. Ho also sent for Information
about me, nnd when tho trousers anil
tin Identification camo he let mo go.

190. by American Tress A two
elation. 1
Soon after becoming u widower 1
resolved to sell off everything I pos.
sesscd of a household nature and go
ubrond for awhile. Having no ties,
children or other relatives, there was
nothing to hold me to any particular
place. One day 1 was clearing out my
late wife's desk when 1 came upon a
fat envelope. Opening It, I found
something that astonished me.
Hut to tell my story properly 1 must
begin back about five years.
Marjorlc and 1 made a love match.
We were both members of a smart set
In society and, such being the cae,
were not especially Ignorant of tho
ways of the world. We both had a
number of old flames, and after mar
riage neither of us was Inclined to
conllno oursclf to the exclusive at
tention of each other. After awhile,
however, I dropped all the women I
had previously loved, retaining only
one, with whom I had a phttoulc
friendship. She was Mildred Iturke. a
woman of excellent sense and fairly
Intellectual. Mnrgerle did not seem to
object to the attention of this friend.
though she did not herself make a
boon companion of Miss Ilurke.
I was not so satisfied with the con
tinued devotion of one of my wife's
admirers, Courtney Stewart. Mnrjorlc
seemed to like him for the very rca
sons that I condemned him. He was
reckless, careless, always getting Into
trouble nnd nlways finding some good
friend to help him out In short, tho
very kind of man lo whom a woman
Li most liable to give her heart. My
wife was always telling mo of these
traits, referring to them ns something
especially attractive. I declined to be
Interest cM.
I remember on one occasion nt the
breakfast table when my wife was
telling me of one of Stewnrt's esca
pades I coldly Informed her that the
man was weak, foolish, dishonorable,
1 saw a suppressed Hash In her eye
and a sll-rht color rise to her cheek.
"I don't expect yon to tnko an Inter
est In people who are natural, frank.
generous. Your kind looks out for his
own Interest, Is devoid of sympathy
never gives himself away, but lakes
especial pains lo listen to all he hears."
"Do you refer to any particular per
son?" I asked, with some hauteur.
"Certainly lo your particularly pla-
tonle love, Mildred I'.urke."
Wo loft the breal.fist table without
nnolher word, and there was a cool
ness between us for several days, but
It gradually wore away, and neither
agnm mentioned ins or nor particular
friend to the other.
One morning it suddenly occurred tt
mo that my wire was as apt to ne
meeting her especial friend as I was
to meet mine. The tliought was not
pleasant. Hut why shouldn't she have
the same privilege ns 17 'llie case was
different. Miss Ilurke was a woman
of high principle. Stewart was n
scaneiirace and not to be trusted. The
bee of suspicion having got Into my
bonnet, It buzzed and tickled and
stung till I was beside myself with
Jealousy. Had my wife continued to
tell me about the fellow's escapades I
should have had confidence In her In
noconce. As It was I was sure there
wore clandestine meetings.
I did something of which 1 have ever
since been ashamed. I used a detec
five, not direr tly. to spy upon my wife
-I could not quite come down to that
but upon Courtney Stewart, which
was Just as bad, for It wa-i through
hltn that I expected to trap Marjorlc.
I directed my sleuth to shadow Stow
art. not letting him know that my
wife was In any way concerned.
At tho end of n month lie reported
that thcro was nothing bad about
Stewart. On the contrary, he was
popular and respected. Mention was
made of several kindly, Impulsive acts
to needy people. A list of women he
bad met was furnished me, and my
wife's name was not among them.
The report made me von' much
ashamed of. myself, especially as It np
neared to nie that my dear wife, sec
lug that her retention of her friend nn
no.vcd me. had given him up. As soon
is I could recover some of my self rc
sped I devoted myself to treating her
with every consideration and all my
affection. Prom tint day mil II her
death not a cloud came between us
And now I come back to that fat en
velope I have mentioned. There were
in it in n woman's hand, all In tho
same writing, a number of documents.
At first I resolved to destroy them
without an examination, but Just as I
was about to do so my eye caught the
name Ilurke. Then I rend every one of
them.
That my wife had employed n shad
ower for my especial friend, astonish
lng as It was, was nothing to the re
port she received on Mildred Ilurke.
Not a shadow of suspicion attached to
her relations with mej but, Imrrlblo to
relate, she was keeping up relations
with another married man that wero
ns criminal as her intimacy with mo
was innocent.
I sat for n long while completely
Otunned. An overburdening sense of
how weak cur Judgment, how little wo
know of tn so rot lives' of thoso
nbout us, wol Ik d up n me. How dif
ferent the i' cits re eh d by me and
by MarJi.tie :.id li " " h In favor of
! her percept l( n md Irr ftl-'id! What
wisdom In the ivoife ".Tt d o not, that
ye bo not Judged!"
I shall never marry again. And
why? I have no confidence In my esti
mate of those from nmong whom I
must choose, and I have not my dear
wife to choose for mo.

AN ARAB TRAP THAT FAILED, writes Mr. Hlcvins, "ho was ns well ns ftfr
Tho Great French Conjurer Stood the
Test and Then by Another Trick
Cowod His Infuriated Antagonists.
Tho Glory of Palmer's Curse.
Thcro nre some points of resem
blance between tho story of the great
Prencli conjurer. Uobert Iloudlu, nnd
the marabouts and the story of Palm-I
er's curse. The Hrat named talo Is,
strictly speaking, Incredible only when ;
regarded from tho oriental point of
view.
In the fifties tho administrators
the Prencli African empire were seri
ously hampered by the fanatical mar
abouts, who by their tricks of Juggling
persuaded tiielr followers of their own
supernatural powers and used this be
lief to fan the spirit of Insurrection.
Iloudlu was sent officially on a Prencli
warship to Algeria to confound them.
While his task proved easy, tho trip
was not without Its dangers.
In Algiers he had allowed himself
to be shot at with pistols loaded by
the marabouts. Hut onco In the Inte
rior, when he was absolutely without
the tools of his profession, he was
forced to repeat the experiment. He
was frightened, but he did not allow
his fears to bo perceived. He persuad
ed his audience to postpone the test
until next morning In order that he
might pass the night In prayer, its he
was without the talisman that he
needed If the feat was to bo perform
ed Immediately.
The night lie devoted not to prayer,
but to Insuring his Invulnerability, and
the next day before a great horde of
rabs he submitted to the test. The
Prench conjurer Insisted that In tli3
sight of every one the pistols should
be loaded by his enemies thoinselvofi.
Then he calmly took his place and
gave the signal. The sound of the pis
tol hod not died away when Iloudlu
opened his Hps. showing the bullet
held firmly between his teeth.
His Infuriated adversary renched fo-'
the other pistol, but the conjurer was
too quick. "You could not harm me,"
he said, "but now see how much great
er my powers aro than yours. Heboid
the wall." He fired, and out on Hi-
whitewash at tho exact spot of hH
aim there crept slowly a great splotch
of blood. The marabouts, In terror,
cowered before tho prowess of the Eu
ropean magician.
Less fortunate In his fate than Ilou
dlu was I ho English orientalist E. II
Palmer. He fell a victim to fanati
cism, but the story of his terrible curse
will long be repeated and cause shud
ders to run round Hedouln campfires.
Only upon I he theory of metempsycho
sis can Ihj explained his extraordinary
powers of assimilating the languages
and Ideas of the east.
He was brought up in the conven
tional atmosphere of England, but
when he turned his attention to orleii
tal subjects he did not merely learn;
he slinnlv absorbed. Not only were
Persian, Hlndoostaneo and Arabic per
fectly familiar to him, but he knew
every obscurity of the slang of th"
camel drivers, and during ills long
voyages In the east his European ori
gin was never suspected. Just tic
Iloudlu had been officially employed
by the Prench government, so Painter
wtis by the English, but In a more
Intimate capacity.
Heforo the exploit that proved fatal
he had many dangerous adventure?
Once he was led away by a treat her
ons guide and betrayed to an Arab
gang who meant to rob and kill blm.
Ho guessed their Intentions, and when
they began to Inflict upon him petty
annoyances he pretended not to notice
them. Plnally. however, the abuse be
came too obvious to be longer Ignored
He sprang lo bis feet and drew out a
letter that he had recehed from a"
English lady. "This to me! Down or
your knees, you dogs, and kiss 111'
lmndwiillitL' of the sultan!" Uown on
their knees, cowed and groveling, fel
his 3U0 captors.
In 1SS2 Palmer was sent on a secret
servko mission among the Hedotiln
tribes to persuade them against Join
ing' the rebellion of Arabl Pasha, lb1
was betrayed and shot. Hut Just be
fore his death ho laid upon his nssas
sins the weight of his terrible curse
Now. In the east a curse Is something
not to bo regarded lightly, anil Palm
er's was one of particular a wf illness.
It was his last means of defense,
and, while It did not save him, It blast
ed tho hearing and destroyed the Uvea
of those upon whom It fell. They
shrank away from one another In hor-
j ror. Koine oi inein coiuesseii uieir

' within a few months came to violent
