DEAD TO HOME.
Oil lumps liwunK dismally under the
mioky ceiling, sending out yellow rays of
quaking litcht. The place reeked with the
mt-11 of oil and Latakia and wine. From
the smoke ami rut that hum; ovei the
room, undulating about the ceiling II Ken
serpent striving for a hole, the faces of tlx
men shoneout in ghastly lights and shades.
There were Aral is who had followed
Arabi Pasha, sepoys wboe fat hero hal lieu
in the Indian mutiny and white men from
all ends of the earth. When the light.'
from the lump streamed upon one side of 8
man's fate and left the other a black blank
it was like a yellow specter. There wert
drunken muttering, iu all manner ul
tongues. When men from the farther her
ders of the world come to Cairn and seek
for amusement, they must expect to find it
a swarthy, evil looking tiling unless tl.cy
happen to stand in wit h t he Kent lemen whe
frequent the palaces. In that cae
They were m..king free a space hit lit
middle of the room, and the eyes of Ok
men bean to shine and their lips to mois
ten. Donald Froibiiighaui, who was on hie
way back from Hong-Kong, wandered intc
this place because he hail wen a particulai
ly vicious looking Arab enter and had
wanted to sketch the man's face for a ve
nire be had in hand. When he found what
kind of a place he Lad come to, he con
gratulated himself and proceeded to enjoy
the murky color, the evil language, the
bad wine, just as he invariably enjoyed
every new experience that came in l.is
way. When the keen eyed servants U-gau
arranging the open space under the oil
lamps, Donald lit another Egyptian and
waited indolently for what might conic.
Into the dim yellow light there came
presently six girls, with Haines in their
eyes and the quickness of lire in their
limbs, and began to dance. The kohl un
der their eyes accentuated the brightness
of their pupils. The gauzy, scartlike gar
ments that floated tempestuously about
their swaying forms enhanced rather than
hid the voluptuous litheness of their fig
ures. They had strings of coins atmut their
throats, their ankles nml their wrists.
They flashed them scornfully alsmt as if
they greatly hated the gold they danced
for. Now they were half in shadow, half
In light; now the murky copper colored
light hung just over them and threw its
color upon their faces, and now they danced
all in darkness, naught save the chinking
timbre of their ornaments disclosing their
presence.
It was iu moments like these that excla
mations of approval came from the onlook
era and orders went out for more wine.
Donald was viewing the grim picture w ith
something of scorn succeeding his first feel
ing of curiosity and interest. His eyes were
half closed. He was wondering in w hat
strange, unfathomable grooves the minds
of these girls might la- running, a specula
tion that has never anywhere, at any time,
been answered that never will be an
wered.
Into hiR thoughts came a soft voice.
"Thin." said the voice out of the darkness.
'Ms a strauge place to choose for a brown
atudy.'' He started and looked alsmt.
There was no one near who looked the least
like au Anglo-Saxon. ISesides It had surely
been a woman's voice. In front of him the
tinkle of coins told him that one of the
dancers was swaying In thedusk there. ISut
nrely that was impossible, surely no, he
must have been dreaming.
A soft, perfumed strand of hair whisked
across his face, he felt the flutter of feet
close to him. Then out of the dimness he
aw two eyes burning Into his, eyes that
were promises of Leaven, eyes that were
mirrors of his own suddenly awakened
wishes. He heard the soft voice whispering
attain, "I wear au amber bracelet," but
when he put out his hand only a little rip
pie of laughter came to him.
Now he fastened his eyes upon the bright
ly lit middle space, and presently as some
of the others danced into the farther din
ness he noticed that a grim ray of light
was falling upon one girl who swayed and
flashed about with the suppleness of a half
tamed tiger, velvet footed, cruel eyed and
wearing a circlet of amber on her wrist
Donald peered ticrccly at her, and then bin
senses for an instant wavered. 1 he girl
was white, white as lie himself. His eves
met hers, and the crueluess iu hers sudden
ly spun into delicious invitations; he re
membered that the accent of that Knglish
whispering voice had been as pure as his
own; horrible wonder as to how an hnglish
girl came to lie there mingled with the
fascination iu which the girl's dancing, her
voice, her face, her mystery, enveloped his
senses. Curiosity, the precursor of much
earthly torment, was awake In Donald.
He flung her a coin. She caught it and
smiled with tier eyes. The smoke swal
lowed her up again. Some of the girls were
disappearing. Men went away also. One
greasy Arab poured a handful of coins into
one girl'n tauiUmrine and looked at her
wit h heavy, shaking eyes. They passed out
toge'her. liv Donald's side there was again
a whispering. "Curiosity is dear; will you
pay for the answerV
He caught a hand that dropped warm in
the darkness. "Who iu the name of all
" that Is wonderful are you, and whntf" he
asked. The hand went up to his mouth
and pressed gently upon his lips.
"It Is not good to know things. It is bet
ter to dream. Hut if you will"
The star that enviously eyed Cleopatra
were hanging in the blue canopy like Chi
liese lanterns in a garden. White outlines
of minarets were penciled against the soft
spaces of azure. Donald's eyes held the
picture lovingly. "I shall always rcmcni
ber Cairo," he said softly.
Donald went through his old pastor's
house with memories springing into being
at every nook and corner. He was full of
exclamations and pleasant chHtter of long
ago days. The white haired rector smiled
in that loving, indulgent manner of his, re
plying to the younger man's questions with
a kind of paternal gnce, a charming pride
iu the house, the place, its associations.
Before a miniature ptisiel portrait Donald
topped and grew suddenly afraid with a
terrible fear. Hut he uerved his voice to
evenness. "That." he said, looking at the
old rector, "is h'm, now, w hich of you Is
that' I've lieen away so long I really"
"That is Hosa. our eldest daughter," said
the minister gravely. "She was a child
wheu you eVnt away."
Those eyes! Where where had Donald
seen them lieforeF Those, burning, melting
eyes!
He still looked at the portrait. The pain
on the rector's face was visible. "Shu,"
Donald went on, "she is not w ith you!1''
"No, poor child, she was married eight
years ago. The engagement was a very
short one. We opposed the marriage, but
llosa was always impulsive. She had only
known him six weeks when I married them.
He wan very well off. He was appointed to
a position iu China, and there" the old
man's voire thickened a little rfs he con
tinned -"there the climate, the new life
she" He stopped and looked away.
"She died in China" asked Donald gently
His companion nodded. Brandon Banner.

chwrful response. "We are very anx
ious to have all the notable jievple"
"That s it. I'm not a 'notable, said
the brisk young woman. "Dad's not an
officeholder nor an office seeker. He's

were accepted, and the daughter of the

Race Track Slung In a l.c i;Ulnture.

The Present I'rinre Albert Coat,
Now. while there is such a deal said
and written about women's clothes and
whether hoopskirts are to have the in
nings, why not turn the masculine eye
downward and take in the absurdity of
the Prince Albert coat? This season it
is long enough to serve as a real frock
that could be "draped" with advantage
or even wired to keep it out, as a crino
line advocate observes Most men im
prove in their evening dress, convention
al as it is. but long experience forbids
uie to say I ever saw Adonis in the style
of coat bearing W ales name as an ex
cuse for being! Those who are not
Adonises nor a royal ptrsonage are sini
ply uot in it. or rather they are. to their
despite and personal disadvantage, Fray
mesdames. cry off from crinoline awhile
and use yonr eloquence on the tailors,
who certaiuly require regenerating in
matters of taste and fitness of things.

who knows what he is talking alioiit:
Pipes. 10 cents apiece: matches. 10 cents

pound, whisky, scarce at $2 a pint.
These thiugs were not thrown over tho
wall to him, he says, nor did his visitors
bring them in. They were delivered to

Women in time of War.
During tiie terrors of the French
revolution, the most delicately
nurtured, the most luxuriously
reared, the most sensitive daughter
of tht old aristocracy passed
through crowds of the insuring,
maddened populace, to the gallows,
asgastlyas unmitcd, without ap
peal or lamentation, writes Junius
Henri Hrowne in the April Ladies
Home Journal. Plebeian women,
iu despci ate exigencies, arc as fear
less as the haughtiest patricians.
K'ank or no rank they are alike
equal to the sternest obligation.
Honest men who have seen women
tried again anil again are eager to
say that flic holds a courage that
they cannot command..,.,
Women arc timid when peril is
far away; as it approaches,
their daring rises to meet
it; fairly confronted with it.
they overtop it quite. They arc.not
brave to do wrong, to speak evil, to
injure humanity, as men ho often
are; but, in the cause of goo J, ol
advancement, of pure iinselfishness
they parallel C';itar or Lincoln.
The enrage of women is passed
over and unappreciated.
Mr. William K. Curtis, in charge
of the Spanish-American exhibit at
the world's fair has reached Wash
ington from Norfolk, having in his
custody the Columbus papers
loaned by the Spanish Government
for exhibition at Chicago. They
were brought to this country on the
I'nited Mates Jsteamers JNewark
which reached Norfolk Sunday aft-
ernoon. .nr. cnrtis was accom
panied on the trip from Norfolk to
thiscityby a military guard, the
obligation assumed by the I'nited
States to the Spanish Govei iinietit
requiring that the papers should be
constantly under the protection ol
the military and naval forces of the
I'nited Slates while in transit. The
papers have been deposited ten
porarily in the vaults of a safe de
posit company in Washington,
where they will remain for a few
d iys. Jwhcii Mr. Curtis will start
witn them for Chicago. They will
be transported hence in one o' the
Pennsylvania Railway Compauy'H
cars, which contain" ii safe. A 1e
tail of soldiers will accompany the
car to its distinatin. The papers
are about fifty in number and com
prise the origional documents re
lating to Columbus' voyage of dis
covery, his reports to Ferdinand
and Isabella and his will.
For use in "TheMcKnve Specta-
toruin," at Chicago, will be sup
plied fifteen of the largest passen
ger elevators ever built. The con
tract for furnishing these immence
passenger hoists was recently
entered into by the Columbian
celebration company andtheStand
dered elevator cmnpany. The ele
vatorswill be guaranteed to carry
10,(10 ) persons per hour and will be
more rapid in their movements
than any elvators ever constructed
up to this time. They will be used
to transport the people from the
ground lloor of the building to the
various gallaries and to the roof
gardens, restaurants and tower.
When completed they will form a

There have bet-n openings in the earth

these eruptions commenced, cattle and

and would go wandering alsuit

neiirhborhood.
The few people who were there were
at lirst badly scio-cd, but finally made
up their minds that it was nothing more
than an aggravated explosion from the

iu the earth were something entirely
new and indicated that 1 he shock experi
