A WIDOW BEWITCHED.
Oliver Beauchamp had been dead for
latter more than a year. Why Mary
Vane had married him nobody could
ever make out He was such a thor
oughly uncomfortable person that erea
his money could scarcely have been a
sufficient inducement to the moat mer
cenary girl in England to consent to pan
her life with him. Mr. Berachamp had
been in the habit of spending the greater
part of his time in the pleasing occupa
tion of coquetting with one fashionable
physician after another, for. truth to tell,
he was a malade imaginaire. The doc
tors found Mr. Beauchamp to be any
thing but a satisfactory patient, for so
C ond was he of fresh woods and pastcres
new that he had the playful habit of de
serting his medical advisers just as they
had begun to flatter themselves that a
really full feathered fool had come into
theirprofenonal net Then Beauchamp
would try quackery and doctor himself
with one well' advertised nostrum after
another, so that the only wonder is that
he lived as long as he did.
Uow, it was owing to the advice of Sir
Cclana Gorget that Mr. Beauchampcame
to marry Mary Vane. When she came
out at the county ball in Loamshire he
took her down to supper, and half an
hour afterward proposed to her and was
accepted. Young ladies of 18 years of
age have a habit of accepting their first
offer. A" good many explanations, more
or less possible, have been given for it;
but the realreason, no doubt, is that the
charming young creatures honestly be
lieve that they will never be lucky
enough to have a second offer, and that
therefore they will do well to make hay
while the sun shines.
Now Sir Celsus had said to Beau
champ as he pocketed that gentleman's
two guineas and bowed him out of the
consulting room: "Why don't you try
marriage? You seem to have tried every
thing, else. Mind, I don't say I alto
gether recommend it still I throw out
tho suggestion; think it over."
Beauchamp did think it over. Indeed,
daring the following week he pondered
'or the great man's advice day andnight;
and, just as he would have accepted any
other panacea, so he t.-wallowed Sir
Cete's nostrum and married Mary Vane.
The nostrum can scarcely be said to have
.beam singularly efficacious; for in less
Oat twelve months from the date of his
saarriage he died, leaving Mary Beau
champ 3,000 a year. She was a good
and kind wife to the unhappy man, and
I think that, after all, what killed him
was .a too liberal allowance of some
body's electric pills and somebody else's
African elixir.
Capt Graham was a hero of romance.
Hs had not a penny in the world, but he
, had black curly hair, his teeth were per
' feet and his features admirable. More
over, -Capt Graham went to a good
tailor, and his boots were undeniable.
. For various reasons the captain had ar
rived at a stage of existence when it
struck him as singularly advisable that
he should marry money. He went down
to Brighton and he put up at the Bed
ford. He used to walk up and down the
king's road and to stare out of the win
dows of the club like a young lion seeking
whom he might devour. Of course he
came across a great many pretty faces,
but to his mind he saw nothing half so
delicious as that charming young widow,
Mrs. Beauchamp; and as within a week
of his arrival the young lady thought fit
to cast aside her weeds and blossom forth
in gentle -violets and delicate mauves, he
became more than ever confirmed in his
opinion.
It is scarcely worth while going into
details as to the captain's machinations
in obtaining an introduction to young
Mrs. -Beauchamp. Suffice it to say that
they were triumphantly successful. He
was to her aa a revelation. He came, lie
saw, he conquered. He proposed to her
one moonlight night upon the west pier.
Miss Jenkins, Mrs. Beauchamp's sheep
dog, was sitting within a yard of them;
but then Miss Jenkins was listening to
the soft strains of a selection from "Dor
othy,! which was being played by the
band, and "Queen of My Heart To
night," as a cornet solo, distracted her
attention from the subtler rendering of
the same theme which was being poured
into the young widow's ear by the en
amored captain. Mrs. Beauchamp list1
ened with pleasure to his tale.
"I am a poor man, you know, Mary,"
aid he. "I have little else but my good
name and my sword to offer you, and I
hardly know if we should have enough
to live upon." He almost winked as he
said the words, but they conveyed a
noble idea of his own dismterestedness,
as he intended they should. "We may
have to wait, Mnry," he continued, "and
I may even have to ask you to go to In
dia with me, for my regiment is one of
the next for foreign service.' Poor fel
low, he evidently had not the slightest
idea of the three thousand a year. "I
should not mind doing that for the
man I loved,' said the widow softly.
And then he squeezed her hand, and
then sin squeezed his, and then rand'
then it vras all settled in tlte most dig
nified uiarner, and Mrs. Beaucliamp be
came engaged to Capt Graham.
Two days later Capt Graham went
into one of the fashiotitble photographers
and sat for his likeness and ordered it to
be finished on j-orcclain in colors regard
less f expense. He did not in the least
demur at the five guineas which Mr.
Halftone's assistant sail it would coat
He only stipulated that it should be
ready in forty-eight hoars. At the end
of that period Mr. Halftone was in the
beat of tempers as he inspected the gal

said ihe widow confidentially.
"He was my affianced husband once,"
said the young woman simply.
"What do you mean, girC" said Mrs.
Beauchamp, as she seized her fiercely by
the wrist
"The original of the portrait madam,
is my husband, my miserable, unprinci
pled husband the man who left me to
starve or to drag out a wretched exist
ence to which starvation would be prefer
able. The sordid wretch who preys upon.
Urn weaknesses of others, the man who t
hesitates at no meanness, and wuo, from
' what you say, madam, is prepared to
1 add bigamy to his other crimes."
"I cannot believe it," cried Mrs. Beau-1
champ. "It is some trick."
"Algernon won't deny it if you care to
confront ua, madam," said the young per-
The tone carried conviction with ft. I
Mary Beauchamp felt a ball rise in her,;
throat and the hot blood mount' to. her
ears as she remembered that she, too,
had called him Algernon only yester
day, and then she snatched the glittering
ring from her finger and trampled it be
neath her little foot Of course this was
quite the correct thing to do under the
circumstances, but it did not really hurt ,,
the ring, as the Turkey carpet was com
fortably thick.
"If you will permit me, madam," said
Mrs. Graham, "I will -take care of that
ring, which, I take it, came from my
husband. That is his knock," she said
confidentially, as a tremendous rat-a-tat
solo was performed on the street door,
"and if you do not mind," ah continued,
"as I am not very strong, I will sit
down."
"I beg your pardon," said Mrs. Beau
champ, "I was very rude." At that mo
ment a servant announced Capt Gra
ham. "I think I am a little before my
time, dearest Mary," he said effusively,
as held out both hands, half expecting
that his fiancee would rush into his arms.
He was totally unconscious of the pres
ence of Mr. Halftone's assistant "Capt
Graham," said Mrs. Beauchamp, very
coldly "permit me to introduce to you
this lady, who tells me she has met you
before."
The young woman in black rose and
confronted him. "Great heavens, AdaP
he exclaimed in his astonishment; but
he recovered himself in an instant "You
have scored tho odd trick, ladiesf he
said, jauntily; "and perhaps it is fortun
ate for all of us," he added, with effront
ery. "Honors are easy. I am afraid
you will have to excuse me. It might
be better after all if I ask you not to
press me to stay to lunch. You will
doubtless have a great deal to say to each
other." And kissing his finger tips to
the pair of them the captain effected a
masterly retreat

forget She is still single, for somehow

A FEARFUL ORDEAL
Occupying a aaat in the
of a down town hotel one day mat week.
mya a writer in
there might havn I
inglyaged gentleman, whose hair was
gray and whose cheeks ware shriveled.
A pallor as of death was on his face, and
frequently the' muscles of his features
would twitch convulsively. His
was Richard J. Allen, and he
himself as hailing from
Five years ago Richard Allen, or
Dick Allen, as he was familiarly known
by bis awBoristew, owned, or at leant
churned and occupied, a stock range of
considerable area in southern Arizona,
the Mexican boundary line being distant
but a few miles. He owned a large num
ber of beef cattle and was considered
well to da
Among the rough population of the
border Allen was a power. He was most
generously gifted by nature, having a
well knit athletio frame, and a mind
well stored with knowledge. But it was
Allen's nerve which secured for him rec
ognition and affluence amid the cactus
flecked plains of Arizona and New Mex
ico a nerve which knew no flinching,
even in the face of death. Tim greasers
and Indians soon learned to dread the
tall stockman, for in more than one en
counter they had come off badly worsted,
and more than one unmarked grave on
the Mexican frontier bears silent witness
to Allen's unerring aim, for he never
hesitated to kill when he thought him
self justified. Very little is considered
justification among the class with which
Allen was associated. So greatly was
he feared and respected by bis wild com
panions and neighbors that nothing
bearing his brand was ever molested, and
the most daring of the cowboys and out
laws seldom tempted death by a too pro
longed argument with him.
- As an illustration of his iron nerve, it
may be related that at one time in 1884
he was given warning to keep away from
a certain small settlement, some ten
miles from his ranch, behaving incurred
the displeasure of a gang of notorious
cutthroats there. Allen smiled grimly
as he read the warning, then strapped
on his revolver and set forth for the
hostile hamlet He tied his horse in the
rear of a saloon and started to enter,
when a pistol shot was heard and a bul
let whistled over his head. Allen turned.
Not more than twenty feet away stood
"Dan," a half breed Indian, with a re
volver in his hand. As Allen turned
three more balls passed in close prox
imity to his head. He knew the Indian
had one shot left With a scornful smile
he said, "Fire again, you , and fire
lower."
The Indian did so, and the next in
stant his spirit had left the arid plains
of Arizona forever. Then Allen strode
into the saloon, where at least a dozen
of his enemies were gathered, and de
manded to know who sent him the warn
ing. No one answered, and after round
ly cursing the gang for their cowardice,
he left and went home. For two months
he battled hard with death, for the last
bullet fired by the Indian had lodged
in his right breast almost piercing the
lung.
It was some three months after this
occurrence that Allen met with amis
hap that hurled him from the heights of
a sturdy manhood to an existence but
little removed from death. It was in
the summer of 1885. All day long Allen
had been hard at work branding a lot of
yearling steers, at a point some twenty
miles from his dugout and at night he
was completely worn out It was a
wearisome gallop from the branding
place to bis cheerless habitation, for the
air was sultry and the baked ground
gave forth an intense heat
It was nearly 11 o'clock when the
stock man reached his destination, and
glad was he when his pony was safely
stabled for the night and he at liberty to
retire. He was about to creep into bed
when his quick ear detected a alight
noise in the direction of his stable, and
he knew at once that prowlers were
about Seizing bis revolver, he started
for the stable on his hands and knees,
for he intended to kill and not to alarm,
having no garment on other than his
undershirt The noise at the stable con
tinued, and Allen moved rapidly toward
the sound .So intent was he on investi
gating the noise that he failed to notice
where his - path led him, and suddenly,
without warning, he felt something be
neath him give way, and he was precip
itated to the bottom of a "played out"
well, a distance of some twenty-five feet
The well had been dry for years, and the
mouth had been closed with a few rotten
.boards, which, giving way under Allen's
great weighthad caused the catastrophe.
For a moment Allen was stunned.
The skin on his body had been abraded
in a dozen places, and every bone ached
with the force of the fall. The stockman
was almost overwhelmed with rage, for
in this accident he saw himself rendered
helpless, and knew the thieves, if any
there were, would not leave as much
behind as a lariat, and might should
they discover his position, kill him.
With a muttered curse of despair he
turned to took for his revolver, deter
mined to fight to the last, should an at
tack be made upon him.' As he turned
he saw gleaming and flashing in the
murky darkness a pair of small, beady
eyes, and poor Allen's heart almost stood
still, for a warning hiss and rattle told
him ho had in the well as a companion a
laniesnake. The reptile rattled angrily,
and moved his head from aide to side in
an uncertain way, and then behind Al
len there came an answering sound, and
he knew be had two reptiles to cope with
instead of one.
The. snake behind him noon crossed
the well and joined its mate, the two
meanwhile keeping up an incessant rat
tle. Their slumbers bad been rudely
disturbed and they seemed determined
to resent it if possible.
Allen stood as if petrified. He knew
a movement on his part meant an attack,
and this attack to him must result in
death. AimI such a death! He imagined
himself bitten by the snakes, and bis
fancy depicted a frenzied being, with
veins filled with burning poison, wildly
grappling with the scab, venomous rep
tales, and striving with the desperation
of the awful- fever to mount the hard
aides of the well and die on the plain
above beneath God's smflmg stars. The
sweat poured from the poor man's body
fa streams. The snakes gave forth that
musky odor peculiar to them, and this,
taken with the closeness and warmth of
of the air, produced a sensation as of

of 86 he is as infirm as a man of 70, and
his life is devoid of pleasure. He cannot
remain long in one place, for his nerves
demand a constant change of scene, and
he is a homeless,, helpless wanderer.
Soon death will come to his relief, and
then, perhaps, Allen will learn why this
dreadful plague was visited upon him.

That mournful establishment the
morgue, was surrounded by a howling
and angry mob yesterday. The burglars
who plundered the villa atAuteuil the
other night and cut the throat of the
caretaker of the house were taken to the
morgue for the purpose of the usual
"confrontation" with the corpse of the
victim, and as they were entering and
leaving the dead house the people roared
and made ineffectual dashes at. them.
M. Guillc t the juge d'instruction, had
arranged an extra dramatic bit of busi
ness for the occasion, having brought
down to the mortuary Mme. Bourdon,
the mother of the man who had been
murdered by tho burglars. The magis
trate had done this for the purpose of
making an impression on the miscreants,
who are all hardened in crime, and whom
the mere spectacle of a dead body would
not move. v
AUorto, the Italian, who was captured
the night of the burglary, was the first
prisoner examined at the morgan. He
said that when he and his confederates
went into the drawing room of the villa
they saw Bourdon pretending to be fast
asleep on his iron cot Thereupon they
danced around him, and Cathelin, one of
the gang, said, "Your last hour has
come, old chapP and struck him several
times in the face with his fists and then
with n burglar's chisel. Allorto, accord
ing to his own account, made Bourdon
turn pale and green by screwing his
wnst fa a vise, but the victim stiU affect
1 ed to be asleep, and a burglar named
Sellier the Manchos then said, "We
'must finish him' off." and stabbed him
several times in the chest and stomach.
After that the. band began to dance,
Cathelin and. the fellow nicknamed the
I Manchot fatoning the popular ditty,
1 "Pere la Victoire," Finally Cathelin,
i who, as AUorto said, is "a bit stage
struck," suggested that all the burglars
should place their candles around the
dead body as in the scene in Sardou's
"Tone," Paris Letter.

What old timer does not recollect
coating of Jenny Lfad to our shores hi
I I860 and the extraordinary furore crs
I ated by her aingingr Of course I only
, know what I've read about k. but I re
member one incident in
riait to Mount Vernon. The
stress had been deeply touched ay stories
of the illustrious patriot and upon reach
ing Washington the first request was to
be taken to Mount Vernon. When Cei
'.Washington, the thenproprktor of the.
estate, heard of her wash, he ehertsrsd a
boat and made up a party., whkh.
Mr. Barnum and Mhu Uad, in
cluded Mr. Beaton, the mayor of Wash
ington, and other notable ckteenfc
The boat landed near thetombaadthe
party proceeded thither. TheSwHaih
woman's big heart ran over aa she drew
near this sacred spot ' From th'point
she was conducted to thenuneion, where
a fine collation was served. With thud
like enthusiasm she gased upon every
relic of the great leader.
When the party had reached the libra
ry CoL Washington took a book from
one of the shelves and presented it to
her. Notonly had it been Washington's,
but it contained his book plate and his
name written with Ida own hand. Miss
Lfad was greatly moved. ' She drew Mr.
Barnum aside and insisted upon making
some suitable return for the gift than
and there, and although her watch and
chain was a costly one and had been a
present from n friend, Mr. Barnum had
great difficulty in restraining her from
at once bestowing it upon CoL Washing
ton, "The expanse is nothing," she ex
claimed, "compared to the value of this
bookl" Dear, good soul! I wonder where
the book is now! No doubt in possession
of her family and properly cared for as
a priceless mementoof Mme. Lfad Gold

But the glass worker has only begun
his work when he has the molten "metal"
fjmmAring in his crucibles. It must un
dergo manysabseqent manipulations be
fore it is available for the purposeof art
Someof these, from a technical point of
riew, seem ictrogiessionnl. It has been
found that the rich color effects in glass
in the middle ages are largely due to the
imperfections in the material, Ita.lack
of hompgeneousnesB, its unequal thick
ness, and s uneven surfaces contribute
largely to its beauty. The modern pro
duct is too uniform to be brilliant; it
transmits the light with too.great regu
larity. Intentions! imperfections are,
therefore, introduced into the process;
and the products, in consequence, are
much more satisfactory to the artist
This work of individualizing the product
has now been so .far systematized that
several specia) brands of art glass are
recognised Tin the markets.
The so called antique glass, in both
white and "colors, is made precisely like
the ordinary sheet window glass, except
that the surface of the glass ia made full
of minute blow holes, which produce
almost an aventurine effect, and add
greatly to its brilliancy. In the cathe
dral glass the surface is rendered wavy
and uneven, so that thV transmission of
light shall be correspondmgly irregular.
In the flash glass ordinary sheets an
covered with a thin plating of colored
glass, a process which permits a very
delicate color tone, and materially de
creases the expense, where a costly glass.

I have never heard of a porcelain let

fense is very common. The letters make
the prettiest and most prominent win
dow sign known, aitd have an advantage
in being easily removed and replaced on
another window. But they are expen
sive on the original purchase, and some
what luxurious in keeping up. You' fre
quently see signs with prominent totters
missing, and you immediately condemn
the sign on the theory that the letters have
been broken or have fallen off. This ton
mistake, and if you notice you win leas
that all the missing letters are tbosejn
common use. They are simply stolen.
The stealing business is one in itself. A
couple of men go around at night stand
in front of a door or window, and. while;
one watches the other quickly removes
the letters he dashes. There to agate
special process by which this to dons
