A DOCTOirS STORY.
I liail been seat far In great liaste, and
had fancied that I was needed in some
extremely critical ca:ie, for the hour was
9 in the evening and the night a stormy
one.
What, then, was my surprise, when I
had been ushered into a handsome par
lor in one of the best hotels, to find, sit
ting in a large arm ohair and with no
appearance of ill health about her, a very
beautiful woman, whom I knew to be an
actress of position and had often ad
mired upon the stage.
She was dressed in the most becoming
fashion, and arose with a smile upon my
entrance.
Her maid, a Spanish looking woman,
with a beautiful olive skin, remained
standing near the window.
"You look surprised, doctor," the lady
began, motioning mo to a seat. "You
will be more so before you leave me. I
am not ill, and I can we that you know
that at a glance."
You certainly are looking very well,
mauaiue," said L
''lam feeling well." ail she. "The
question that I desire to ask you, as a
man who lias made the brain, in some
degree, a specialty, is. Am 1 mad? You
need not mind-my maid; the speaks no
English. I want you to give mo your
opinion. Do you think me insane?"
'"That is a very difficult question, ma
dame," said I. "A doubt of your ration
ality never would liave occurred to me.
Besides, insane people seldom gues their
condition. However, you muxl have
some reason for asking the question?"'
"A very grave one," she an&uered.
"Either I am out of my mind or there
are such things asghoets."
"There are optical illusions also, ma
dame," said L
"But illusions of the senses of sight
and touch and hearing all at once. Would
tliat not be madness?" asked she.
Not if you were aware they were il
lusions," I answered.
"But they seem real to me," saiJ the
lady, "oh, so real! I suppose you read
the stories about me in the papers? You
have heard of the man who killed him
self for love of me?"
"The Frenchman!"' I asked. "To tell
the truth I have rend it."
"They said I was 'cruel to him," said
the lady, growing somewhat excited. "I
was not. I was kind at first; but he
dogged my footsteps and threatened my
life. Not at first, of course, but after 1
had accorded him an interview, and re
fused him as gently as a woman could
refuse a man. He wanted me to marry
him. He was rich, of good family; he
was honorable, and very, very much in
love. But I, how could I love a stranger?
And he was ugly, a great, savage look
ing creature. After that he tried to kill
me. lie shot at me. I had him arrest
ed, and he committed suicide in prison."
She paused and shuddered. "It is he
who comes," she added.
"Naturally," said I, "you have been
greatly shocked. You dream of him.
aad your dreams are so vivid that you
fancy them actual occurrences."
"I knew yqu would say that," she
sighed, "but I have very vivid dreams,
for in them friends who have been dead
for years come to me. They speak and
move, and touch me. But when I awake
I know I have been dreaming. This
different. My ghost or my madness
comes to me upon the stage."
"Upon the stage?"' T repeated.
"Yes," she answered. "He says 1 shall
not act again. I wa; playing a week ago
when he casse. Hi often comes, bt
never before did he touch me. This time
he laid bis band upon my arm, and
whispered:
44 'I tell you you must retire from the
stage! I exact this penalty of you. The
next time you tread the boards I will kill
vou!'"
"Well?" said L
"I fainted," said the lady, "and fortu
nately it was the correct thing to do at
the moment. Only my fellow actors
guessed the swoon to be a real one. But
the next day Lcancelcd my engagement
I declared myself ill. The truth is I was
very juuch frightened. I had grown
tieed to his staring and pointing to his
throat, but when it came to touching me
and speaking"
She paused, shuddering violently.
"Yours is a case of disordered nerres,
madatne," said I. "I advise you to take
a holiday."
"1 don't dare to go u acting!" she
gasped. "Don't you see thit? Why, I
really believe yoa do not know why I am
k troubled! In. the very prime of life,
with everything I value at my hand, I
must sink into obscurity retire on a
small sunt of mosey, when I might
make aa immense fo: tnae give up t!.
applaiMs I live for, um aft I adore and
all because a ghost will have it so!"
The tears arose to her beautiful eyes
She wiped them away and forced.

strange, wild figure rushed forth. I saw

UTTLE MAIDS AS COOKS.
A group of bright eyed, atak causal
girls came tripping down tha steps of
the Edward Shippen school oa Friday a
few minutes before aeon. They were of
assorted stet and styles of beaa?rbat
their ages all clustered closely ahoat
sweet sixteen. There was one Metis
flaxen haired Miss whose lisp aad ajpai
battsksasd that she had bat racsatly en
tered her tceas. and doss behind her a
tall, dignified saaid of dusky hue. who
looked as if she would be oightsea sssse
of these days. These wars the eatresses.
Fifteen years may have msds'a" fair
average.
The absence of tha nana! bulky hags
of books, aad the character of the girl
ish chatter, which was all ahoat batter
osltkws aad logarithms, evinced
this, was aa ordinary bevy ,of
told, and they had been to cooking
achooL
The quantity of edibles turned out by
these two score fairy fingers during the
process of the first lesson would scarcely
suffice to satisfy the cravings of a lusty
appetite; but then Rome was not built
in a day; neither caan elaborate menu
be concocted in an hour. A crockful of
croutons or sippets and a faultlessly
baked potato were the only tangible re
sults of yesterday morning's practice.
Several little maids, however, treasured
up a precious little cut or a glistening
burn as evidence of hard work, and all
had their rraniums just chock full of
knowledge us to the best ways and means
to ruu a kitclien.
Housekeeper No. ?, 1 appoint you to
take care of the stove for this morning.
No. II. you must look after the sink, and
you. No. 4. will be in general charge of
the room." These were Miss Stone's
words as she called the class to order.
She wore a tiny cap of soft white lace
and a wide spreading apron, and moved
and talked with a grace and ease that
would invest the meanest kitchen with
the dignity of a drawing room. The
somewhat unpoetical task of fire-building
was the first duty of the morning,
and into this work the teacher entered
with such zest and understanding that
the "little maids in school" who looked
on and learned thought it great fun, and
just as easy as flirting. After a few
moments' instruction they knew all
about removing the ashes, arranging the
kindling, applying the match and start
ing a blaze, all without a drop of kero
sene or begrimed fingers.
The big, brightly polished range stood
in the corner of the room: the spick-and-span
sink, surmounted by a row of dip
pers and dishpans, stood opposite, and a
far end. apportioned off to serve as the
laundry, was net forth with boiler, clothes
liorse and the other necessary accoutre
ments. Aloug the center of the room
were ranged the five tables which repre
sented the scenes of maneuvers of the
twentv cooks. These were bedecked
with spoons, knives, forks, plates, chop-
ping boards and scrubbing brushes, and
evwy article a paragon of perfection.
Each pupil was furnished with a seat at
table, and after work was over each was
required to polish her respective corner
with soapsuds and scrubbing brush until
it dazzled.
Against the east wall stood a big cup
board, shiny and crochety in its newness,
provided with innumerable nooks and
crannies, each devoted to its particular
utensil. "A place for everything, and
everything in its place," suggested Miss
Stone, as she pointed out to her group of
open mouthed learners the way of the
Dover egg beater and the wherefore of
the glass lemon squeezer. "The rolling
pins must be piled right here, the cullen
der hung just there and the dish towels
placed far back in the right hand" corner
of the third drawer from the top, on the
left hand side, between the tea cloths
and the dusters," she weufeu. "We put
the matches in this covered crock so the
rats won't nibble theui and set the house
on fire. The bread we must stow away
in a tin box for fear it should grow stale.
We must always keep the butter well
covered, as it absorbs strange tastes so
easily," and so on through the whole cat
egory of kitchen ethics.
Then the little maids were set to work
cleaning potatoes. Of course they poised
their knives aloft for the purpose, and
of course Miss Stone gently but firmly
bade them to drop them instantly.' The
best authorities on cuisine never pare
potatoes nowadays; they scrub them.
Each girl waj supplied with a small
ftush, which she applied to the earth
apple's cuticle with such vigor that it
was soon ; white as her own lingers.
Then housekeeper No. 3 was bidden to
place the potatoes in the stove for bak
ing. "Ouch!" she cried, as she lifted the
oven door and ran back in dismay.
Housekeeper No. ? was delegated to try.
"Oo, ow, ow!" was the result of her first
trial, as she hugged a tender little 'en
gagement finger and fled in consterna
tion. The other girls only laughed aad
Miss Stone flew to the rescue. Beneath
her "open sesame" the door started open
likeadream. "You'll learn after awhile,"
she remarked smilingly. And the burned
maidens sighed and said they hoped so,
and once more the chorus giggled.

all hoped to return, buoyed up their
spirits for a time and spurred them on
