Why flamed up the coals grown dim! I'ld hvjouI rejoin her youth! Did abe dream the tame of html THE REPRIEVE. For 20 years Hamilton Duke was my client. In fact It waa to him that I owed not only a competent fortune, but my position In society. . But for this I should never have tin dartaken his defence in this iast case, my best feelinjr were so against him not that I was an ingrate, but because I believed he had murdered his wife. Many things compelled my drawing turn a conclusion. He was well-bred, refined and cul tured, while she was of common stock, the personification of ignorance and low-breeding. For 10 years he was all of chivalry and tenderness to her that a lofty nature could be, while she was always sullen, morose, dissatisfied. It waa claimed by their closest friends that he loved her the first few years of their united Ufa, though I never believed this it was such a manifest , Impossibility. i Any way, he hated her cordially when her life came to its tragic clows, nd so he had for a considerable period prior to that event. Being entirely in his confidence, he often came to my office, : pallid and trembling, to tell me of some new vul gar violence of hers which had driven him nearly to the last extremity of des peration. And so, one morning, when Mrs. Duke was found dead with an ugly stab through ber heart, her husband stand ing over ber with a reeking knife in hand, I naturally believed he had killed her. Later on, when I saw him, my sus picions seemed confirmed. Ha was in a state of wild excitement when I entered tho sheriffs office, in answer to his summons Until that moment no one had sue oeeded In getting a word out of him about the murder. "What does it all mean?" I asked, when we were alone. "I don't know," he gasped. "I don't know whether it was I who klllod her or not. But I don't want to die. I mustn't be allowed to die. You must defend me you must save me." Though I pitied him, I believed him guilty; and though I defended him, I felt that he merited death. But my efforts were vain ones. The evidence against him was too conclu sive. An unusual noise In Mrs. Duke's room had attracted the butler's atten tion the morning of the murder. On entering, he saw Mr. Duke raising up, knife in hand, from the prostrate body of bis wife, as If he had just stabbed her. -.: - . That, and the fact that the Dukes had indulged in many bitter quarrels Of late, was enough to win a disastrous verdict from any jury. - Mr. Duke was found guilty and sen tenced to death. He was to be hanged In 45 days. Reopening a case at this time was not the easy thing it is now, and I found it is impossible to get him a new trial. -: On and on those grace days swept, eemingly with lightning swiftness, until the time set for the execution was but 60 hours off. . I was desperate; Duke was frantic. "You must go to the governor," he oried at length. "You must get a pardon for me." "Impossible," I answered. "There Isn't enough time." "Yes, there Is. " This Is Wednesday morning, and I am not to hang until Friday noon. The train goes In an hour. If you leave here at once, you can make the trip and get back here in time." "But on what pretext? Simply see ing the governor will do no good. I-" , "You must think of a pretext on the way. Don't stay here and talk. , You are wasting time, and my life must be saved. Do go at once. - ne was in such a wrought-up state that there was no use arguing with him, and so I went away, walking about the streets In sheer bewilder ment By blind' chance I went to the rail way station, arriving just as the train rolled in. Dejected and reckless, scarcely knowing what I was about, I clambered on board, at the last mo ment and went whirling away toward the governor's, bent on a wild, mad purpose, which I well knew could only prove entirely fruitless. When the station next to my destl nation was reached, a woman came on board, who instantly pounced on me and kissed me. It was my niece. W bat under the sun is the matter with you?" she demanded. When I told her of poor Ihike's pre dicament, her face became very grave. but the moment she discovered my business w ith the governor it bright ened. - How very fortunate!" she ex claimed, clapping her hands gleefully. "What?" I demanded, nearly tu pvtfled with aH.sxemnt. "lve It alt to me," she said, "and I will we your friend. Jtornt not eragtv?. Ustott: j nljlit tna vrv tin r piwMwwul Ui nui, Of oourv J lave lit drrly, but I don't want to, lie tooehM.tjr woa, and sol refawd to (iv a in an eu.sri r. lie ui wua us Vvnlslit After dinner v. he i hU slomwrh i fu'l and Ills hui iy to fit aw 1 U vrteMfae to marry oitui on the condition that he pardons poor old Duke." Then and there, on a publio train though we were, I bugged and kissed her. She was as good as her word, and six hours later 1 was on board another train, homeward bound, and In my pocket was a reprieve for Duke the case against him being so strong that the governor deemed a full pardon Impolitic then. The reprieve granted him another three months, though, and by that time popular sentiment was likely to cool down sufficiently to make a pardon feasible. On the way home I was fairly happy, and tried to picture to myself Duke's face when be knew he was safe. - This made me so comfortable that I fell a sleep. , '- Nothing disturbed my slumbers un til the trainmen railed out the name of the junction where I bad to change cars for the branch road which ran through my town. And there, to my consternation, I found myself unable to move. Men tally I was awake. Physically I was asleep. I was fully conscious of the stir and bustle made by those who were getting on and off the (rain; but I could not move a muscle. With all my might I tried to throw off the trance-like spell that held me, but all to no purpose. The train moved on and took me with it Cold perspiration oozed out through every pore, ana I think I would have gone mad then and there had not utter unconsciousness mercifully come to my rescue. It was more than an hour before I regained possession of my senses. By that time it was impossible to get back to the junction in time to catch the homebound train on the branch line. ; Springing up, the moment I was con scious, I explained things to the con ductor, offering him any price he chose to demand if he would run his train back to the junction and take me home." That was out of the question. He could only do such a thing on the order of the general superintendent and that peronage could not be reached, because a storm the day before had blown so many wires down that all telegraphic com munication was cut off. All that I could do, then, was to re main on board the train seven hours more, when by tramping 12 or 15 miles over a craggy, roadless mountain, I could probably get home by nooni Though the "probably" discouraged me, I thanked the conductor for his advice, shut my teeth hard on my misery and tried to make the best of it. That was the longest night of my life. It seemed to me that it would never end. - Day was just breaking when we reached the station where I was to kave the train and begin my foot jour ney over the mountain. Hard as was the ascent ot that track less, precipltious mountain-side, it was a vast Improvement on the train. i I was in motion myself now doing something, whether it would avail me anything or not. Soon the sun was up, Although too soon it had accomplished half its jour ney from horizon to zenith. , It was then that I reached the mountain-top, with a good seven miles of rough walking still before me. Duke was to be hanged at noon, un less I was on time. At 10 o'clock I was but two miles away from him; and with all the hor rors of my journey presumably behind me, I smiled self gratulatively at the thought of how easy the rest would be, and how I should disappoint those who were even then gathering to see my client hanged. A vine caught my foot and threw me. falling, i sprained my ankle, and the pain was so intense that I had to exert every atom of my will to keep me from going into a dead faint Breaking a forked stick from a sap ling, presently, I extemporized it into a crutch, and hobbled off as host I could. At the end of an hour I had made but half a mile, and was so exhausted that I knew another 15 minutes would bring my locomotive powers to a lull stop. ' - : - Poor old Duke must die, after all. 1 lbere was no help for it and with an outcry of utter despair r settled on the ground In a heap. The mental anjnilsh I suffered In the half hour which followed was enough to unseat a man's reason. Watch in hand, I counted the fleet ing seconds. In 25 minutes more my client would hang, for want of the reprieve in my pocket And then, joyful sound, I heard ap proaching feet! A moment later a negro appeared. He was old, dirty and stupid entirely unable to understand me until I men tioned money. When I said: "I will give you llOO if you will get this paper In the hands of the sheriff before 12 o clock," with a yell like a fiend he snatched tho reprieve out of my hand and darted away. Again I sought my watch. My messenger had 23 minutes in which to cover a mile and a half, portion of his route being through thick underbrush. It was doubtful it he would make it The hour which passed before he re turned with help seemed UK) years to me, , I done got dar." he gained, nrlv out ( breath; "an' dj geramen an? ail safe," Probably it was entuanly, but I wept joy.

However, I wm rewarded more glorl vusljr Before Duke's reprieve expired his butler was taken seriously ilL Just befjre he died he made a startling con fession. It was he who killed Mrs. Duke. She caught him in the act of steal ing her jewels and he killed her to es cape punishment Returning, a mo ment later, to moke sure that his vic tim was dead, he saw Duke beside the dead woman with the bloody knife, and so made capital out of this circumstance by swearing away bis employer's life to save his own. , AUSTRALIAN CITIES. Their Advantage. and, Dangers Fran Many Pointi. The prevailing state socialism is fill ing the larger towns with good things excellent museums, splendid libra ries, free reading-rooms, parks, botan ieai gardens, manifold places of Inter est or amusement These are for the multitude, and the multitude in Aus tralia is unquestionably ' becoming southern in its taste for excitement and amusements. For the rich are, muslo, the theater, and clubs as expensive and almost as luxurious as those of Pall Mall or Piccadilly: For the children of alL excellent schools and universi ties. So rich "and poor alike crowds into towns, which become large with out becoming crowded, so wide la the room for expansion, so perfect the ap pliances of tram, rail and boat for the suburban residence. Thus the cities have acquired not only an excess of population, but also a social and politi cal dominance which neither British nor American, ana for which only a continental parallel can be found. To an outside observer the resulting con dition of things seems . artificial and not without grave dangers, but curiously interesting, as il lustrating, new forms of national growth, possibly incidental to extreme democratic development The concen tration of population has enabled the artisan class to secure unequaled pres ent advantages, but there is justifica tion for the view entertained by many Australians that It will sap the founda tions of permanent prosperity unless a check can be found. The gravest problem before Australia Is apparently how to get a sufficient agricultural population to stay upon the land. The temper of the country is not favorable to the patient industry of the farm, with it remote results and slow ac cumulation. Within the last few years the curious phenomenon has occasion ally presented itself of a serious dearth of labor In country places, while in the towns masses of unemployed were besieging the government offices with demands for relief works. Sent, sometimes at the government expense, to the rural districts, the "unemploy ed" soon drift back to the mingled wants and delights of city life. Cen tury Magazine. Is Marriage Declining? ' It is a singular coincidence that at the moment when the beginning of the larger liberty of women was celebrated, the question should.be largely discussed whether marriage is a declining insti tution, and that an accomplished woman should maintain that it is. This might be a disagreeable post hoc propter hoc. Mrs. Kate Gannett Wells thinks that the indisposition among women to marry is due to philanthro- php, higher education and self-analysis. The woman interests herself in hu man welfare rather than in a man; the cultivation of her intellect is more charming than that of the heart and her mind measures, with the precision of a spiritual laboratory, the compara tive advantages of marriage and celi bacy. These, however, are mysteries too serious for the end of an article. The statement, however presents woman in the' light of the lady in Longfellow's "Ifyperioh," who was beloved by Mr. Berkeley, an English man who had not meditated 6uch themes as the possible decay of matrimony. To his impassioned declaration the lady answered, "Sir, you are in love with certain attributes." "D your at tributes, madam." "Sir,'" said she, with dignity, "you have been drink ing;" and bo they parted. It was said in an article last summer, evidently based upon trustworthy statistics, that it seemed to be clear that the higher education rather promoted marriage. This was reassuring, because such a result as. Mrs. Wells describes would be a deplorable cons3quence of prog ress. Two centuries ago Dean Swift said it was agreed that a wise man would not marry a woman who knew much. That was undoubtedly the wiser plan for the average man of the time. But if, as Bacon says, tho more language a man hath the more man Is he, Itwlll be hard to believe that the more knowledge a woman hath the less woman Is she Harper's Weekly. Ne Oerasloa for III.

"Madam." said the sailer In a sub dued, respectful voice, "I have been Informed by one of your neighbors that you have met with a bereavement and I have ventured to" "I have had no recent bereavement H Interrupted the lady somewhat stiffly.

There Is scarcely ever a session of congress in which bills are not found to contain mistakes in orthography or punctuation, says the Philadelphia Press. The only wonder is that many more do not occur, when it la re membered that all such work near adjournment is performed under ex traordinary circumstances. All Is haste, noise and confusion. Rest or sleep is (unknown oftentimes for two or three days and nights la succession. The clerks become nervous, wearied, and sometimes wholly exhausted by the intense strain and prolonged physical labor. Probably the smallest, and apparent ly most insignificant, 'of all such blunders was the most expensive one vf the kind ever made. It occurred in a tariff bill more than twenty years ago. There was a section enumerating what articles should be admitted free of duty. Among the many articles specified were "all foreign fruit plants," etc., meaning plants imported for transplanting, propagation, or ex periment The enrolling clerk, in copying the bill, accidentally changed the hyphen in the compound word "fruit-plants" to a comma, making it read "all foreign fruit plants," etc. The consequence was that for a year until congress could remedy the blunder all the oranges, lemons, bananas, grapes, and other foreign fruits were admitted free of duty. This little mistake, which the most careful man might easily have made, cost the government about $2,000,000. r On the other hand Uncle Sam occa sionally saves a dollar. About ten years ago one of Virginia's statesmen, who had waged a very spirited and un successful battle against king alcohol, departed this life after a terrific attack of delirium tremens. The usual com mittee composed of congressmen and senators was appointed to accompany the body to its last resting-place and participate In the funeral ceremonies. Arriving at their destination a small country town in Virginia the party got off the train and took the carriage in waiting and started for the ceme tery, a mile or two octant When crossing a bridge over a deep stream the horses attached to the hearse got frightened at something,' became un manageable, and dashed against the railing of the bridge. The railing gave away and the whole establish ment went overboard, lhe driver got out alive, but both horses were drown ed and the defunct congressman soak ed in an unknown element water. The hearse and casket were finally fished out and the burial service com pleted. The owner of t the hearse sent in a bill of $550 for the loss of his' pair of horses, which congress prompt ly voted to pay. By some oversight the amendment appropriating the de sired amount was marked wrong at the clerk's desk in the house, was not en rolled, and consequently the poor fel low who lost his horses was obliged to wait a year before he got the money due him. The Cause of the Difference. , A gentleman who has recently re turned from Russia, says the Boston Courier, relates an incident which, al together trifling in itself, is yet more pathetically suggestive of fee condi tion of the poor in Russia, and of the state of things which has bred so deep and so widespread discontent among" the people. Being about to leave some station at which he had been staying for a few days, the gentleman in question called in a moozhik to adopt tho spelling of George Kennan to strap his trunks. The man was of enormous build, with every appearance of great strength, while the traveler Is not aDOve medium height and while of compact mold is by no means of muscular appearance. The trunk was rather overfull, and the task of bringing the buckle on the strap into it place was by no means a light one. The Russian tried again and again, becoming short of breath, and red in the face with his efforts, while the American looked on at first in impatient silence and then with con temptuous reproaches. At length, losing patience, the traveler pushed the moozhik aside, and with a single quick effort brought the strap down and buckled it. "There," he said, "are you not ashamed, you great big fellow, to be all this time bungling over a thing that I can do in a minute, and I only up to your shoulders?" There was no trace ot anger in the reply: "Ah, little father, but you have had meat to eat all your life." Crook. Council, of War, Gen. Crook's councils of war differed from those of any other general, living or dead. Ho never asked any one for an opinion, never gave one of his own, but taking his rifle in hand, strolled a short distance away from camp, sat down under a rock, crossed one knee over the other, clasped his arms about his shins, and occasionally rubbed the tip of his nose with the back of his right hund. This last was the Infallible sign by which the troopi afterward learned to know that one of Crook's councils of wsr was in progress.
