It was stormy nijrht In March and
I was seated In my office puzzling over

I was a little startled, because I was
Just then puzsllng over that very ques

This was tho beginning of my ac

upon conversing upon various topics,
with all of which lie displayed a fair
acquaintance. His nervousness in
creased steadily, but, strange to say,
with It increased bis patience.

rav unremitted care. I earnestly be

to do.
'I have told you," he declared with
firmness, "that I am slowly dying.
Nothing cau savo me. You have al
leviated my pain. , No physician could

As time passed the unfortunate man
won a hold upon my heart. So it was
with lutluite pain that I saw the ten
tacles of death closing fast about him.
In my powerlessness I reproached my
self and mv beloved science. I became
low-spirited and dull. , '

wealth and told me the surprising

Vory soon afterward I opened the
package Mr. Oliver had requested me
to take ' in charge. It consisted of a
closely written manuscript whioh read
as follows:

"By a fortunate combination of cir
cumstances I was able to finish my
business in a short time and immediate
ly started for home.
. 'Twenty-four hours earlier than she
expected me. I gaily tripped up the mar
ble steps of my home, thlnkiog of her
joy as I should suddenly appear un
expectedly before ber. Almost stealth
ily I inserted the night-key and turned
the latch and on tiptoe hastened along
the carpeted stairway. The sorvsnts
were not yet stirring. Oh how sweet
to be at home!
"The sound of a light laugh fell on
my astonished enr. I pnesed before
the curtained doorway of my wife's
boudoir. Lightlv lifting a corner of
the soft silken drapery I saw ray
wife with a man I knew well by sight
8o much of a roue, gambler and
scoundrel was he that I would never
have had even a business acquaintance
with him.
I stood outside for several minutes
and then entered quietly. With a wild
cry of horror, Lire rushed toward me
with her arms outstretched, but I re-
oulsod her. and indignantly threw her
companion out of doors.
Then I turned to the cowering wo
man. Hot one atom oi pity remaineu.
In a voice as calm as uual I thus de
nounced her: 'Madame, I have a name,
ono that my parents bore with honor
and that I have never shamed except
in giving it to you. You shall not pub
licly drag It in tne mire. To-morrow
vou will accompany me to Chicago.
There I will throw such safeguards
about you during the rest of your nat
ural life that you can not sin again. I
de this only because I am resolved to
save my " lathers name, uoe more
transgression and you shall die.",
"We came to Chicago, where, under
the name by which I am known, we
took au unpretentious flat in an un
fashionable quarter. When I left New
York, I left the world behind me. - A
stranger in a strange city my future ,
was to eareiuiiy guara my iamiiy
honor.
Three months passed. ' During this
time the only acquaintance I formed
was Henry sommers, and 1 only knew
him by accident. During that time I
never left our apartments except on
necessity and then I looked Lire within.
We kept no servant our. meals were
sent from-a restaurant wo visited no
one, formed no acquaintance, attended
no theaters or races as had been our
former custom. This was not living,
it was painful existing. ,
"Lire did not bear this new and con
stant surveillance with composure. At
times she would, burst forth in a
lussion, and beseech me to let her go
orth, to kill her or do anything to eud
her present miserable life. Gladly
would I have sent her out if I could
have saved ray name from dishonor.
. "One night about three months after
our flight to Chicago, I was suddenly
aroused from deep sleep to alert wake
fulness. At my side stood Lyre, look
ing like an angel with a crown of golden
hair. As my eyes opened I saw
her pour the contents of a vial Into the
water bottlo from which I invariably
took a nizhtlv draught' Maddened by
memories and brooding and disap-
nointod love. I sprang toward her
and confronted her in her crime
Denial was useless. I forced her to
confess that she had placed poison in
my draught. Tho insidious drug she
had obtained iroiu a mnaoo me year
before our marria;.o. It was a subtle
poison. Given in small doses the
Victim failed slowly, but surely. Given
in lanra quantity, death was immedi
ate. Calmly she confessed that she
had been administering the poison
to me eradually, that I was slowly
dvinsr and that no power on earth
mm Id restore me. She freely admitted
that she would have killed me long be
fore, had L as she expected when sue
married me. made a will in her favor.
She was a revelation to me. For the
first time she cast aside all hypocrisy
and appeared in all her hideousness,
She declared she loathed me, and pre
ferred death a thousand times to the
wretchedness of being imprisoned with
me.' :,,.v-v, . ,,
"I was dying by inches. How was
explained the lassitude and weariness,
the sudden sharp, pains I could not
understand. Enraged and furious as
I was over her diabolioal confession
I yet could reason. Taking ray pistol
from beneath ray pillow, whore I had
invariably placed it at night since I
had learned her treaeharv. and in my
left hand holding ray watch, I looked
steadfastly at the crouching woman
and said:
'If within five minutes you have
not swallowed the contents of the little
box vou hold, I shoot you. Choose
your death.'
"A look of infinite terror spread over

termined, pitiless resolution, toyiog

neither spoke. '
"One, two. three, four minutes
passed. Only sixty seconds remained.
Seizing the pistol firmly I began slow
ly to bring it into position, when, with
a quick seizure of the little box, she
rapidly brought the poison to ber lips,

movement of her wrist cos nervous

my revenge was complete.

night before setting out upon my

Crispus Attucks, tho famous colored
martvr of Boston, whose statue etands
on the Common, is now believed to be
myth, or, at least, the name is an alias
for Michael Johnson. Dr. Green.
Boston antiquarian authority, says that
it is bv no means sure that even
Michael Johnson was th right name.
"Attucks," said he. "or Johnson, if he
is to be so culled, was a renegade half
breed, an adventurous sort of fellow,
a sea-faring man, who - merely hap-
uened to he in Boston at the time.
and it is quite probable that both the
names Attucks and Johnson were
aliases."
Apropos of stories, there are some
funny ones going tKe rounds about
woman who is the authoress of a most
charming book. She is very enthu
siastic and not long ago at a dinner
Sarty 'said; "Men in : this country
on't know how to love.. If you want
to see real love you must go to Rassia;
there a man says, Be mine or you will
die."1 Spokeu dramatically and with
her eyes flashing, everybody looked
immensely interested until a courtly
old geutleman rose np from his chair,
and, bowiug most graciously, re
sponded; "Oh, madam, how thankful
we are that you came back to this
country ajiye." -
