THE POMAINCc OP
A EPIDEMIC.
The North Herman liner Kaiser WII
helm II. was three days out. Fine
Veather, for the depth of winter, had
tiecii experienced, uud ou Christmas
eve the celebrations on Ismrd were
very enthusiastic. The saloon was
effectively decorated, and two Christ
inas trees had l>een creditably maun
faetured.
Surgeon Colonel 1 ledford had not
been prominent In the amusements of
tlie voyage, and the taciturn person
wim accompanied him In most of his
deck rambles had been conspicuous by
his a I me Hut an Christmas ere all
reeuleltrants laid been beulen up, anil
••very available man had been request
ed to contrive sutiielhlng to the sum
of the general happiness. After a
dance ou deck the dancers well wrap
ped had been successfully accom
plished, a concert was given In the sa
lon, "Hilib* Nnehl, llelllgc Naeln” was
well received, hilt by the time It was
sung lledford and Ills friend thought
they laid done enough, and were -lip
ping away, when the doctor met them
with an Invitation from the captain to
Hujoiirn to Ids room. Cupt, Klein had
only Invited lledford. lull the doctor
could not well avoid Including Ids
friend, more especially as he had no
Heed Hie pair so constantly together.
When they came on deck they found
that a sudden change laid taken place
. In the weather. A line snow was fall
lug. The iniisis. ropes. Ismts awl deck
houses were white. The whole vessel
had been metamorphosed Into a specter
ship gliding with even motion over a
Jet black sea. Capt, Kteln had already
a guest when they entered his room.
This man, a Hungarian named An
drasssy, hud, after a long residence In
Chicago, become plain Anderson, lie
was a musical eiilliiislasi and a eultl
valor of the emotions generally. He
was therefore n contrast to lledford

■Well, pretty had. We’ll have a
rough *pcll for a couple of day* at any
rate. We are more likely to bo batten
ed down to-morrow than darning on
deck. I can tell you."
lledford and Id* friend puffed lei*
Ul'oly at their cigar*. The doctor wa*
equally placid.
‘By the way,” the captain *ald to
lb dford. "I did not quite catch your
friend* name when you Introduced
him.”

IIeilford shook Ills head, but Smith's
proposal was unanimously passed. The
surgeon colonel gave way in rouac
iiuenee. and prepared to comnienee his
story. Ills preparation was somewhat
curious. He tlrst opened the ealiln
door and looked out. Then he locked
it on the inside and turning to his au
dieuce said seriously:
'■<Jetitlenien, I must ask you upon
your honor to keep a secret which I am
about to tell you.''
They assured him that he might de
__ pend upon them, so he began In a
quiet. Impressive voice:
"It might do good to publish tills
story far and wide. On the other
hand. Its publication might do Inealcu
la Iile injury to humanity—"
"That's a good start," the emotional
man interjected, as lie settled himself
more comfortably In Ills seat.

"I got him to bed, and finally asleep,
and, considering his condition, I felt
rather proud of my presi-rlption. I
then sent a message to my hotel to
say that I would not return that night.
This dispatched, I rang for Ihbefson'a
servant and directed him to sit In bis
master's bedroom and call me If any
change took place. On that I lay down
on a couch and fell asleep. I waa
awakened soon b.v n touch on the shoul

called me, wide-awake and partly ra

business, of course, was to get him to
sleep again, but when the powerful
medicine I gave him failed so soon I
was puzzled bow to set. Trying to oc
cupy bis mind and draw It away from
exciting fancies. I said, soothingly:
" 'Kit down, and let me tell you the
news.'
•' 'The news';' he gasped. ‘Any more
news';'
"'No. no. It Isn't news. It is only
about au appointment I have with Dr.
Muller at. the cholera hospital.' I don't
know how I came to say that. It was
u bad time to say it If I wanted to
prove m,y theory.
"'Cholera!' he yelled. Cholera!'
"With a hound he was on ine. Hla

IOWA PATENT OFFICE REPORT.
Dts Moiaa*. March —l’atcnta have
been allowed, but not yet issued, as
follows: To M. Macy, of Artel, Iowa,
for a gauge for flouring mill rollers.
The device is very simple, strong and
durable and well adapted to show
whether or not the rollers are trammed
or parallel while in motion. Kollera
are often parallel when stationary and
yet out of tram when rotating, and the
device for detecting auch defect is very
important in millh.g. ToC. K. Murray,
of Des Moines, a practical railroad
man, for a block signal system that
will operate automatically to protect a
train in front and rear when going In
either direction. It is designed to be
used at stations and on dangerous
curves, etc., and is positively actuated
by th# passing trains. Hi* i'nlted
