It was in the early summer when my love and I first parted. 8he the seaside sought and left me in the city broken hearted. 1 to swelter through the summer, she on sea kissed shore to wander. But her last words gave me comfort, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” How I loved the little letters that from time to time she sent mel As I read, it seemed that they a momentary breeze lent me. While she wrote of picnios, bathing, yachting trips, then bade me )>onder Well the truth of lhat old saying, "Absence makeH the heart grow fonder.” Fewer stiu were now her letters, and she wrote, "I’m very busy.” I expostulated—mildly—with my wayward, witching Lizzie. Once more came the same old answer—any oth er seemed beyond her “Don’t you know, you stupid Willie, ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder?1 ” One more letter yet she sent me, while she at the seaside tarried. Laughing at our "mild flirtation,” telling me that she was married. And 'twas thus her note concluded—as I read my face grew yellow— " ’Absence makes the heart grow fonder’— fonder of the other fellow!” —London Tit-Bits. “FLIP.” It was midnight, and the tempera ture stood at 103 degrees F. in the up per room of a house in Limassol. “Oh, dash it all, Villiers, that’s the third time in the lu6t 20 minntes! Fin ish ecarte for mo tonight. Let’s go onto the veranda. How hot it is, and how old Flip is snoring—qnite apoplectic!” The speaker threw down his hand and passed his fingers wearily through hiE tumbled hair. His opponent, Villiers, pushed back his hair, with a yawn, and started drumming the devil’s tattoo on tho table, while the sleeper snored more apoplectically than ever, and be who had watched the fall of tho cards fin ished off his drink and shouted: “ Vasilli!” “Sair!” "Wake up, you child of a bond wom an, and bring me a large brandy and soda, with plenty of snow Id it—the cleanest you can get—d’you hear?” “Or-right, sair.” The sleeper muttered in his dreams. “Poor old Flip—breaming, always dreaming of that heartless Jezebel,” said Villiers as the trio moved out on the veranda. Then spake he who had called for drink and whose name was Jones—plain Jcnes—and said: “I have never quite got to the bottom of that affair. Old Flip only spoke to me on the subject, and that very sketch ily, as we wbie riding through the pass to Cophino. Do you know the rights of the matter, Fidus Achates?” “Oh, yes,” answered Villiers. “Then tell us the story.” “Wait till the drink comes and yon’vestopped yonrmoutb with another cigar, and then I will, though it’s too hot almost to parley.” As he spoke he threw himself into an easy chair, an example which was speedily followed by his companions. Presently the Greek serving boy reap peared with the iced fluid. He did not immediately retire, and on Villiers an grily asking him what he was waiting for he replied hesitatingly in his broken pigeon English: “Kalitsa gunia, signor, comey to me and say, ‘Inglese signor, Harvey, being here?’ Me say, ‘Yes.’ Signora say, ‘Go telly me, signora, Inglese signora, wanty see—savey?’ Me say, ‘Or-right,’ and go plenty quick bring soda water. Me coming back presently after by’m’ by, plenty quick mo comiug—finish sig- j noral” "Oh, get along! You’ve been drink ing too much vino, you scoundrel!” ' “No, me no drinky vino. Me”-1 "Oxo!” snapped Villiers, and the Greek withdrew. As he passed through the adjoining room the sleeper moved uneasily and mattered a woman’s name. “You heard that?” inquired the teller of tales. “Well, that’s the keynote. As far as I remember it was eight years i ago and during Ascot week that the trouble began. Flip had been just three months engaged to Lily Fane—ever met the Fanes of Ridley Manor?—and they were to be married in the autumn, i Flip—you’d hardly know him now for the ardent, impnlsive old fool he was then—worshiped the very ground she , trod upon, while she was nothing but a heartless, grasping, scheming”-! bteady over the stones, drawled the hope of all the Joneses. Then Villiers, with a short langh: ‘‘Rather a waste of words perhaps where one wonld suffice. She was a woman, and can any good thing come from a woman? “Well, to the point. For a mere ca price, arising from an arrogant bet that she could do with Flip assho liked, and you know old Flip's a pretty hard nut to crack, she told him after lunch on the cap day that he mast go abroad at the end of the week and not return un til a week before their wedding, which was to take place, I believe, on Nov. 18. Of course he took it as a joke, hut that night she again repeated ter extrav agant demand, saying she was really in earnest; that some one had doubted if his love for her would carry him such lengths at her expressed desire. “Did he fly into a furious passion, as would you or I or any sane man? Not a bit. Like the infatuated fool he was, he said it was very hard, but that if she really wished such extraordinary proof of the affection she should never doubt, and so on. The long and short of it was the end of the week saw him at Monte Carlo. Of course he went in for a little ‘flutter,’ just for something to do. Equally, of course, he won. He tried again, and again he won. Then the fever took him, and he played. “He was very comfortably off and so had no excuse for plunging as he did, and if it hadn’t been for that accursed I girl hs might have been a happy, pros- ' parous country gentleman today instead of a wreck in the government service on ' j a miserable pittance of £250 a year In j this benighted island. “Well, one unlucky night tho crash ! came. I should be sorry to say how many thousands melted like snow at one ' fell swoop. He was ruined—absolutely I rained. Ho had to sell every stick he possessed, and that done he wrote to his girt and offered her her freedom. "I suppose from a worldly point of view he was right, and she was right; but, considering all the circumstances, she need not have displayed such alac rity in throwing him over. People say it was at the instigation of her family. At any rate, she married shortly after ward a parvenu with heaps of coin, but if report says true she has lived to regret her folly and her wickedness—I can call it by no other name. “Well, tbrcngb the influence of a friend Flip got a billet out here, and here I met him on my arrival, to my intense astonishment. Of coarse I had heard the outline of his story, but till he told me all I was really ignorant of the details leading to his unhappy smash. Until our meeting here we had not seen each other since the old Oxford days, when we had been fast friends, though he was an exquisite of the ‘house’ while I was a member of the studious Balliol. Eia, wo have both of us changed a deal since then!” The speaker ceased. “The devil!” suddenly exclaimed Jones, starting forward and peering over the balcony. No one noticed tho noiseless approach 1 of Flip from the inner room. “What’s up?” drawled Villiers. “A woman in black just left the doorway and is crossing tho street.” “Pooh, sit down! The heat’s been too much for your never too strong work ing brain.” “There! She’s standing at tho corner 1 and looking up at us—Vasiili!” “Sair.”. “Who jast left the house?” “Me no savvy, eair. ” A wave of hot air suddenly swept with a hollow sound through the room, like a breath from the angel of death, then all was doubly still. “Good beavensl Lil!” gasped Har vey, who bad now glided to the front and looked over the balcony. Before any one could say a word he was elf, down the stairs and out of the house like a madman. The dark figure at the street corner seemed to be beckoning. “Whew!” whistled Villiers. Again that stifling blast of air swept over Limassol. It was followed this time by a rumble like the farotf roll of heavy artillery. The grumble swelled to a roar; the balcony seemed to shiver; the house swayed like a ship in a storm and then became steady, just as a deafening crash of falling masonry roused the still night into hideous wakefulness. Weird figures flitted here and there in every dishabille, shrieks of terror mingled with cries of anguish, all wa3 wildest confusion. The first'shock of surprise over, Vil liers and his companions rushed down ar.d out into the street, the far corner of which was one vast debris. Fallen houses blocked the roadway, and here and there moans issued from nnder masses of timber and masonry. As well as they could Villiers and his friend allayed the panic and organized a species ot relief party to clear the wreckage caused by the severe shock of earthquake, for this it was, and free the wounded and separate the dead. Among the latter just as the day was breaking they lit on the mangled re mains of their lata comrade, Flip Har vey. But hunt as they would they could discover no sign of the veiled stranger. ****** Months afterward when we had all gone our different ways and I was fill ing another pest in Madeira, I received a letter from Jones inclosing the follow ing newspaper clipping: About 2 a. m. on the morning of Aug. 7, 187—, the private yacht Marie, belonging to Sir Henry Winter, was driven by a squall of wind onto a sunken rock while running among the Ionian island". She is supposed to have foun dered immediately, and so far no trace of her crew has been discovered. We regret to add that Lady Winter was on board. It was close on that hour when the earthquake shock was so disastrously felt at Limassol, and Lady Winter had been Miss Lily Fanel I have altered the names in this strange story, but for the rest—well, there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in our phi- i losophy. The remembrance of these re markable incidents has caused me many a sleepless hour, and I confess my in ability to explain them. Let those who may chance to read the story explain it if they can.—Loudon World. A Stupid Burglar. “As an example of stupidity you I could find none better than the manner in which my bouse was robbed,” said an east ender. “When the servants got up, they fonnd all over the house mud tracks, which were remarkable for the size of the foot that made them. They were made by a shoe not smaller thau No. 13. Upon trying the dining room door it was found to be locked. After a little searching we found a key to open it. Upon the table were thrown a suit of clothes and a shirt which had evi dently been brought from one of the up stairs rooms. Here the fellow had risked going up stairs, bad taken a suit of clothes which was new and worth about $50 and a shirt, then went down to the dining room and locked himself in while he examined his plunder. Now comes the most stupid part. He tore the cuff hands off a $2.50 shirt to get a pair of collar buttons worth almost nothing, evidently not being able to comprehend that he could remove them more easily by unfastening them. Then he took from the vest pocket a cheap watch, which only kept the time you used in keeping it set, and left the suit, which wonld have been of use to him. He then left through the window. If 1 hadn’t seen the marks of the feet, I wonld have thought it the work of a monkey instead of a man.”—Pittsburg Dispatch. KNEE 8REECHES COMING. So Say the Leading Tallort* Who Wore th« Costume at a Iteeent Banquet. A notable dinner took place at Pitts burg last week. It closed the proceed ings of a three days’ session af the Mer chant Tailors' National Exchange and was made memorable by the introduc tion ot a now and gorgeons evening cos tame. Four of the leading tailors of the United States wore this costume at the banquet, and its beauty and grace wore so striking that the whole company of critical observers regarded it with en thusiastic admiration. The costume con sisted of a silk velvet dress coat, satin brocaded waistcoat, satin knee breeches, silk Btockings and the lace adornments affected by men of fashion a century ago. Undoubtedly the different colors which can be introduced into such a cos tume, according to the requirements of the varying types of manly beauty, would lend great brilliance to an occa sion of evening festivity. Instead of the raiment of men being merely a foil to set off the bright attire of women it would he of itself a thing of beauty, with which teminine taste and art would have to compete. The judgment of the merchant tailors at the dinner at Pittsburg was so unani mously in favor of the now costume that it will be the prevailing garb when tho convention hold its next annual ban quet. The tailors expect, too, that as tbe fame of its impressive beauty spreads abroad men will be unable to re sist tho desire to emulate the glory of their raiment. Perhaps so, hut how will it be regard ed by the men with thin and crooked legs? Some men of great distinction and a most engaging personality suffer from those physical defects, but at pres ent they aro concealed by trousers, in chief part at least. Knee breeches and silk stockings would reveal them to every beholder. It is true that such men might resort to padding, but would not suspicion of tho artifice get abroad and provoke unseemly merriment among women? As it is, the dress of men is comfort able rather than handsome. If they go in for brilliant effects of color and ma terial, they will have to stand criticism of their taste and the beauty of their proportions, from which, happily, they are-now exempt.—New York Sun. UNEASY RESTS THE HEAD. The Ameer Kept at Home Through Fear That When the Cat'g Away, Etc. The ameer of Afghanistan, who in consideration of a hig annual subsidy and frequent lavish presents is Eng land's very good friend and trusty ally against Russian designs in India, is once more debating whether it is safe to leave his country a few months in order to pay a visit to (jueen Victoria. It is the English fashion to picture the latter day Afghans as fanatically loyal to their sovereign and devoted to peace ful pursuits, but Ameer Abdur Rahman knows better and fears to leave his de voted subjects to themselves or to ex pose them to the probable temptations of Russian agents even temporarily. The truth is that the British govern ment shares the ameer’s distrust and is by no means anxious to see his highness in England. Negotiations are therefore proceeding to secure in his stead a viHit from his two sons, Prince Habbibulla and Prince Mahomed Omar, said to be smart young fellows, who are carefully educated to believe that their bread, butter and other blessings depend upon English good will. At present the princes are devoted to each other, but they will not be Afghans if, when their respected father dies, they do not have a fierce fight for the succession. Then will come Russia’s opportunity, as Eng land knows very well.—London Truth. Street Car Fares Recovered. The law as an engine of justice is get ting more effective. A West Side jus tice has given a judgment of 5 cents and costs to the plaintiff in each of three suits against the West Chicago Railroad company for having collected fares and failed to carry the complainants down town. Of course the injured individuals were put to some expense and much trouble to get their 5 cent damages and will probably incur further difficulty, as the corporation will appeal, but even this little triumph for the people is gratifying. If a hungry child stole a 5 cent loaf of bread, the state would bear the cost of prosecuting it, and the pen alty might be more than restitution of the stolen goods. But it is very different when a rich corporation is the thief.— Chicago Times. Boston's Busy Railway Station. Work on the new Union station is rapid, and the coming spring will un doubtedly see it finished and the passen ger traffic of the Fitchburg road turned over into the big trainhonse. When all is completed and the trains running, the Union station will be able to boast of having the largest number of passen ger train movements in the world, some thing like 550 coming in and going out daily.—Boston Globe. Breckinridge’s Sadness. Congressman Breckinridge of Ken tucky has a sad way of speaking when he wishes to be impressive, which al ways is intensified in the last part of his speech. Tom Reed came into the bouse the other day while Breckinridge was winding up a speech and listened for a moment. Then he turned to Gen eral Cogswell and said, “Can you tell me the name of the deceased?”—San Francisco Argonaut. Japs Going In For Watchmaking. The enterprising Japs, ever on the lookout for the chance of turning a few bonest pennies, have just gone in for watchmaking. A large company with headquarters at Yokohama has been Btarted, and as labor in Japan is cheap and the Japanese possess in a remark able degree the mechanical skill which is so essential in the business its pros pects ought to be good.—London Figaro.
