I Plaintiff and Defendant By OSCAR COX Having received u note from my cousin, Hello Archer, that she wished to see mo very particularly, I went to her house at once. I found her on the rear porch In a hammock rending a novel. She did not rise to receive :ne, nor did she lay down her not el, hut pointed to n letter lying on a wicker table. I took it up and perused it It read a.s follows: Miss Arnbolla Archer: Dear Mnilutn-We beg to Inform you that Mr. Udward Herbert Ancll has re tained our serviced, directing uh to enter ult against you for tlio buiii of twenty flvo thousnnd dollars (ta.O) for breach of promtoc. Wo nhould bo pleased before dolnit so to hear from you with reference to sottlliiK tbo matter out of court, thin avoiding both publicity and expense. Wo arc, very respectfully, your obedient serv fints, GYMCKACIC, SI'INNKlt & MUCHMOIti: I read thla letter not only with sur prise, hut with n mulle. I believe thero Jiave been cases of a man suing a wo man for breach of promise, but they have been rare. Having linlshod rend ing the epistle, 1 looked up at Belle but she seemed more Interested In her book than what the letter Involved for her. Nor was I able to engage her at tention till she had finished the chap ter she was reading. Then I said: "I daro say you have- deserved this." "I dare say I have." "You would not hesitate to Jilt an angel." "That's what I am nceused of having dono." "Perhaps If you send the plaintiff a letter expressing contrition he will withdraw the suit" "Perhaps he would, but I'm not con trite" I thought for n few minutes, then, changing my tone, said: "I suppose- it must bo treated seri ously. Do you wish me to net for you In tho matter?" "I do." "What ovldenco has Mr. Angell that you have consented to marry him?" "I don't know that ho has any." "You mean that you have been so reckless In your numerous lllrtatlons that you have not kept track of the men you have accepted and those you have refused?" "That's about It," "What course shall I pursuo In this ense?" "Oh, Bottlo It ns best you can. It won't beggar mo to pay at all." Considering Uint Miss Archer was worth sovernl hundred thousand dol lars this wns true. Angell was worth a million. "I don't suppose," I said, "tho plain tiff wnnts money." "No; ho wants to squcezo me." "What!" "IIo wants to make mo throw over my other suitors for him." "Oh!" "IIo thinks ho enn bluff me." "And you don't propose to be bluffed." "No, 1 don't You Just write his lawyers for me thnt I'll pay the amount sued for entire and don't consider It any compliment that tho damages named are ho small." I wroto Messrs. Gymcrack, Spinnir & Muchinore that my client would pay the amount claimed. In due time a reply came from them Inclosing a typewritten apology that Miss Archer wus to sign acknowledging that she had acted very dishonorably toward the plaintiff, humbly begged his for giveness and "she will keep her con tract with him." Hello signed It, but put the word "not" between the words "will" and "keep." It did not appear to me that Mr. An gull was making much progress In this game of bluff. I wns curious to know what his next move would be. for I dl not see any move that ho could make. IIo adopted tho Fubliin policy ho did nothing. When milllclent time for n reply had elapsed and I received noth lng like a continuance of the light nor a disposition to capitulate 1 made up my mind that It would bo a case of nttrl tlon. I was convinced that the couple were In love with each other and ono of the two would give In In time. Which would It be? One day I received a note from An gell's attorneys to the effect that since their client was about to be married a return of his letters to Miss Archer would bo appreciated. I took the note to Helle, and 1 saw by her expression when she read It that she was beaten. "This caps the bluff's climax." I re marked to give her courage "That we don't know. He's Just mean enough to marry somebody to spite me." "What will you do next?" "Please write the lawyers that 1 will deliver Mr. Angell's letters to him In person. Hut I shall expect an apology from him for putting this affair be tween us Into tho hands of lawyers." "Humph!" "What do you mean by that?" "Nothing. I think your decision very sensible." "Sensible? Of course It's sensible. What do 1 want with the letters of a man I don't Intend to marry? And am I not entitled to an apology?" "Certainly." A meeting was arranged between plnlntlff und defendant at my otllce. was supposed to bo present, but when Hello came In with a satchel full of let ters I slid out a back door. I remained away an hour, and when I returned a grinning student In tho otflco told me thnt after much billing and cooing tho lovprs had departed radiantly hnppy. I wonder if Angell thought ho wus deceiving his attorney as Hollo sup- Early Uis of Gunpowder.

Aesculapius was styled tho father of medicine and the god of medicine with equal propriety, as It Is not certain whether he was half god or mere man. His pedigree Is Involved In the mazes of mythology. He Is represented as having practiced medicine so success fully as not only to have prevented the ; death vl tile living, nut to have recall ed the dead to life. Tradition snjs that Jupiter, for some offense, slew him with u thunderbolt, and after his death he received divine honors. One of his whims was to Invest the serpent with a sort of sacred character as the sym bol of veneration nnd nlso because of Its supposed power of discovering heal ing herbs.

Many years ago I heard the follow ing notice read out In n church In Eng land: "There will be u procession next Sunday afternoon, but If It ruins In the afternoon the procession will take place In the morning." Among mixed metaphors the most delightful I think I have ever heard was tho statement of n town councilor In a Hiunpshire town somo years ago during a discussion on projected ex penditure on town improvements "Gentleman," ho said, "wo will have nothing to do with it; It Is but tho thin end of n white elephant" A distinguished lender of tho Ulster party, writing to me, said, "Before tho homo rule bill Is enforced Asqulth will have to walk over many dead bodies his own Included."

The diamond ring wns there, and ho attempted to re move It Palling to do so, he took out his knife to cut off tho finger. Feeling something warm on his hand, he struck a match and saw that It was blood leaping from the grave, he ran away as fast as his legs would carry him. Then ho stopped and bognn to think. Tho most likely solution of what he had stumbled on wus that It was one of those very rare cases of n trance linvhig been mistaken for death. Ills benefactress was lying uncovered in a grave What should ho do? If he rescued her he would bo obliged to confess that he had gone there to steal the Hug on her linger. There are natures so bereft of what is good that they can only be affected by some momentous event. The tramp wns one of these. A sudden revulsion came over him. llcturning to the grave he found the body as he had left It. Removing It from Its cold bed. ho wrapped It In his coat and carried It the nearest house and restoratives were applied. For a long while the Invalid hung between life nnd death.

Rise and Fall of a Mining Town. A curious Instance of the latter day rise and fall of a mining town devel oped at Hosmer, In the Crow's Nest district, Canada. Coal was found nnd n mine opened without regard to ex penditure. In all over $1,000,000 was put into the operations. Many prom ising seams were cut. and so sure were the engineers of the quality and quan tity of coal to be reached that a double tunnel, with a side air passage, was driven the whole length. Expensive tipples, tramways and a washer were constructed and n battery of -10 coke ovens built to take care of the washed slack coal product front the mine. However, the coal seams proved to be so broken and Irregular that opera tions were entirely too expensive and were abandoned. As a consequence the town of Hosmer, which had a pop ulation of about 1.000. Is now n desert ed village A Multiplication Trick. Here Is n little trick in multiplica tion that may amuse you.
