THE MAY BUG.
TIIK STOHY OF ITS CAl'TUHK.
From the French of .T. II. Rosny in
the Revue Do Paris Et Do Saint-Petors-
Bourg : A burst of shrill laughter rung
through the court-yard. A girl's faeo
looked from the barred window of a coll.
It wns ii bountiful face hot in a glory
[ . . .of goldnn hair the parted , lips were like
Iho petals of a young rose ! But the
laughtur was the wildtorriblo , laughter
Of the mad.
"I hnvo it ? " she screamed' , exultantly.
"What ? " asked the kooper.
The keeper was inado of gross mato-
, rlal. Ho had a loose skin , full of largo ,
dirty pores like an old sponge a thick ,
brutal nose , 'pierced by narrow nostrils
and a wide mouth rod-lipped and cruel.
His oycs were small , hard , brilliant and
singularly opaquo. They looked like
little hits of blue china. The girl's
eyes were blue also , hut with the tender
blue of torquolso , yet ( ull of clear ,
liquid , changing lights like the sap
phire. She was pale , delicate , exquis
ite ! A beautiful casket horoft of its
precious treasure the mind.
"What ? " asked
the koopor.
"Tho May Bugl"
The keeper grinned and winked his
blue china oycs. Ho had hoard before
of this May Bug a chimerical insect
which troubled him littlo. Ho was not
a bad man taking him altogether a
a trille over-fond of turning the cold
Shower on the poor wretches intrusted
lo his tender earn not averse to using
a stout leather strap in the interest and
welfare of the moro refractory and ho
often exorcised a little judicious econ
omy ut their expense , in setting before
his family the broad intended for Ins
patients. Not a nerve lodcrod amidst
the bono and brawn of his gigan-
tlo body ! The most frantic struggles of
tbo maniacs filled him with amusement.
The most furious ravings brought a
'
'imllo to his great lips. Oh ! Ho was
Hrory good naturodl
Ho npproaohod the window. "Whore
la it ? " ho asked , curlosly and idlv.
"It is horol hero ! " cried thog'irl , full
of excitement. And she pointed to a
hole in the wall of her coll.
A hole in the wall !
The excellent keeper was annoyed.
Ho frowned blackly. Ho entered the
cell and struck the woman on the faco.
"Seo that thou nmkcst no moro holes
fn the wall I" ho said roughly.
She trembled violently. Her eyes
darted strange lights but she said noth-
N ing. She did not even cry out , although
V - be blow was a cruel ono. She only
watched , with jealous , angry oycs , as
the keeper thrust three fingers into the
hole. There was no insect there. HoN
stood ruminating a moment , after the
111:1111101-of : boasts. Presently ho began
slowly to scratch his bead. The woman
made a sudden movement toward him.
"Give it to mo ! " she cried impera
tively. "It is mlno ! I will have it !
You shall not put it in your head ! Give
it to mol Give it to mo I I"
"Hush , fool ! " ho said , and ho raised
his hand threateningly. She cowered
away from him and crouching in tlio
corner of tnocoll , begun to cry bitterly ,
wiping her eyes , now and then on a
strand of the long yellow hair Unit lay
on her shoulders. As the keeper
opTiicd the door to go out a ray of sun
light foil on his rough hair which
curled thickly over his temples. Tlio
girl bounded suddenly after him like a
tigor.
"It is there ! " she shrieked , shrilly.
"Alt ! the pretty thing ! Do not crush
it ! " for the man raised his hand invol
untarily to the bpot she indicated with
her outstretched Jingqrs ; then , recol
lecting himself , ho turned on her fierce
ly , and advancing deliberately , as she
retreated from him , until ho hud driven
her again to her corner , lie stood a
moment quelling her with the cold
power of his eves. It was an instant's
silent struggtol Tlio force of reason
prevailed. She sank shuddering con
quered in the angle of the smooth
otono wall. ,
' "Good ! " ho nnid , gruffly. "And no
more of holes in the wall. Dost thou
hear ? I shall look to-morrow and see
if the hole grows larger in the night.
To-morrow ayol and again the next
day and the next ! " Ho thrust his ugly
face down to hers. She shivered and
shrank nearer the wall. "Good ! " ho
said again. His tone was fatherly. It
was pleasant to him to see his power.
Ah ! they feared him those poor , help
less , hopeless , miserable creatures.
Ho loft the cell , turning his face
toward her as ho closed the door. At
last , trembling ray from the setting sun
died on the matted hair above his loft
temple. A tremor shook the delicate
body huddled in the corner. Moro than
two hours passed , and still the girl
crouched there. Her little white fingers
worked nervously. Her eyes were never
still. Her brow was drawn in deep ,
painful lines , as though the poor disord
ered brain beneath made some great
physical effort to form thought. And so
the darkness fell.
With morning came the keeper.
"Is there a hole in the wall ? " Ho
laughed maliciously. "Then wo can
have no broad to day , " and the excellent
man passed on well satisfied. Had he
not inflicted punishment when punish
ment was duo ? And , moreover , his fam
ily lived on the broad which cost him
nothing.
Juno passed and July long summer
days when the sun lay in the court-yard
and there was always a warm corner in
cell No. 80 , where the beautiful insane
girl was kept. The keeper liked to go
there and lounge in the afternoons. She
was afraid of him , and ho found her ter
ror diverting. It pleased him to see her
standing with downcast eyes sending
out those strange gleams fromundortho
deop-fringod lids with heaving breast
from which the breath labored heav
ily with trembling lingers locked so
tightly together that the little nails
grow white with the cruel pressure. It
was a tribute to his power. A moro ob
servant person might have soon some
thing hero to suspect might have an
alyzed this fear and found in it a tr.ico
of danger might have declared this at
titude to bo that of a person detected - erin
in fear of detection in wrongdoing.
But the keeper , good man , was not ono
to analyze. Ho examined all the cells
dally. It may bo that his examination
was sometimes clumsy. But why should
ho suspect this child ? Or suspecting ,
why should ho fear her ? A slender ,
white-faced , cowering thing who could
only pick a hole iij the wall to hunt for
an imaginary May Bug ! A poor , weak
imbecile creature who shook at the
sound of his volcol The keeper would
have called your analyst a fool for his
pains !
There were times when the girl did
not shrink from him , hut , instead ,
greeted him with her charming , child
ish smile. Then , were he in a good hu
mor , bo would talk with hor. Truly a
strange duct , this , between the man
without intellect andtho woman without
reason. An interesting study of chiaro-
oscuro , where tlio ideal subtletv of the
maniac stood out intensely against the
brutish , unimaginative stolidity of the
keeper. Often his rough voice , like the
bellowing of a bull , frightened her , but
she listened to him with her adorable
smile , and only when ho turned his eyes
away did that strange expression leap
into her face , the greudy , jealous light
burn in the eyes which , stealthily , she
raised to the ragged clumps of hair
which lay upon his toniplu * . Once ho
surprised tlio glance. Ho laughed
loudly , derisively. Ho had not alto
gether forgotten the May Bug.
"Aha ! " ho laughed , "dost seek thy
treasure ? Oh ! oh ! the fool ! the idiot !
the lunatic ! Oh ! I have it ! Hero" tap
ping his forehead suggestively , and
blinking his blue , china eyes , "hero ! I
keep it safely I"
The girl inado a sudden , uncontrolla
ble movement as if she would spring
upon him , and the strange look deep
ened in her eyes the look of passionate
desire now mingled with rage and
hatred of the man who kept from her
what she covotod. The keeper was en
chanted at the success of his pleasantry.
Still laughing , ho rose , stretched his
leg comfortably , and lounged over to the
window. Outside the court lay Hooded
in the sunlight , a gray fowl minced
across the Hugging , pecking at the tufts
of grass which forced themselves between -
tweon the stones of the walk. The
( lowers in the square garden-plot in the
center of the court gave up their sweet
ness languidly to the caresses of the
warm air. Tlio keeper gazed stolidly
through the grating. His hard little
eyes rested unblinkingly on a great
metal ball on which the dazzling sun
light sported bravely.
Softly she camp softlylightly ! With
cheeks a Hume with the strength of her
desire ! With gloaming sapphire eyes !
With quivering nostrils and parted lips
through which the breath 11 uttered
tremulously ! Softly she came , with her
litho young body swaying , and her little
tlo , trembling hands before her ! In an
instant her dainty fingers had twisted
themselves in the man's rough hair ,
jerked the great head backwaru.and be
gan a furious scratching in the grizzled
mop over the loft temple. The keeper
Hung himself around with an impreca
tion and sent the woman spinning
against the wall.
"Insolence ! " he roared
, rurfhing up
on hor. "Dost thou dare , indeed ? In the
name of Roason-H > f which thou knowest
naught take this and this ! "
Ho struck her a crushing blow with
his clinched fist. She smothered a cry
and crouched , still with dangerous look
in her oycs croucheU as if to spring at
his great brutal throat.
"Have a carol" ho muttered , threat
eningly , rushing upon her again. Slow
ly her expression changed. The corners
of her pretty mouth tromblod. She put
out ono fist faintly. Then with moro
assurance , and moving gently forward ,
she looked up , shyly , into his scowling
face as ono who would implovo for
giveness. It was the koopor. How
ready she was to confess his power !
How eager to sue his pardon ! Ho was
mollified.
"Therol" said ho , "no moro of thy
stupid tricks , fool ! " And ho wont away.
The summer waned. No. 30 seemed
dull and sober. She slept little , grow
weak and thin , and , from out the pallor
of her face , her great blue eyes shouo
unnaturally. She was silent for long
hours at a time. She no longer talked
of the lost May Bug. She looked like a
student who seeks to solve great prob
lems , and who loses his health and
strength in long vigils. She loft her
bed at night and strange sounds were
heard in nor coll.
"Sho sloops too warm , perhaps. " said
the keener ; "glvo her a cooling show-
orl" And this merry follow bade thorn
hold her under the icy douche until
she fell , chilled and exhausted , to the
ground. This occurred twice. After
that there were no moro nocturnal dis
turbances. The keeper chuckled. "I
know their tricks , " said ho.
The girl became very quiet and cir
cumspect. She began to manifest inter-
cist in objects about hor. She was
strangely obiorvant , and occupied herself -
self for hours in examining tlio scanty
appointment of her cell. Once the
keeper fancied ho saw her fumbling
with the burs of her grated windo.v.
Ho wont in and examined the place.
She watched him with stealthy oyes.
When ho turned she spoke to him
pleasantly. She was always gay with
him now. The bravo man never de
tected a false note in the clear , crystal
tones of her laughter his car , like his
eye , made no line distinctions. After
this episode , however , she was more
prudent and gave no cause for suspicion.
She was thoughtful oh ! very thought
ful ut times preoccupied but patient ,
good-toni ] > ered and obedient. Soon she
began to talk , rationally , and answered
all questions > vith sense and judgment.
Ono day , in , the late fall , the keeper
summoned thp. d9ctor.
"If MoiisiciuVi , the Doctor would call
and see No. 150 , who booms quite recov
ered ? " i
Monsieur tlo } i-Doctor called. But
Monsieur the Doctor was , as it hap-
oned , an old and skillful practitioner ,
who for many years had studied every
form of insanity under the light of his
own interests. Monsieur the Doctor had
no intention Of speedily ridding the asy
lum of any patient who materially in
creased his incotno.
"H'ml" said the doctor , "wait a while
longer ! It is hesit'tobo prudent ! "
"Tho girl is harmless ? "
" ! "
"Perfectly so
"Sho can bo given a-llttlo liberty ? "
"Assuredly , yes ! She is quite harm
less ! " and the worthy physician smiled
and rubbed his hands softly together-
and , thinking of the clear , quiet oycs
which met his own so steadily , the cool
hand which restly obediently in His ,
the girl's normal , composed manner ,
repeated to himself , "Oh , certainly !
Quite harmless ! "
It was after this that the keeper made
himself easy. The examination of cell
No. 30 was no longer considorcd neces
sary. No. 30 herself grow paler and ate
but littlo. This could scarcely bo said
to distress the keeper , whoso family
profitted thorohy. Winter came , and
from her grated window the poor young
creature watched the year grow grey.
A few withered leaves fluttered in
through the casement and she treasured
thorn poor dead things ! They were
redolent of the free life beyond cruel
bars. The swallows in the court-yard
complained shrilly of hunger , and be
neath the eaves they huddled , pluming
themselves and giving piteous little
cries. She would have liked to have
fed them , but the family of the keeper
could use oven the crumbs , and. harsh
ly , ho forbade her to waste good bread.
She was now very thin and her eyes
were brilliant with fever that consum
ing mental fever which burns in the
eyes of all great toilers who fancy they
see near them the desired end for which
they have striven long and patiently.
Now came the long winter nights ,
when the white moonlight lay on the
floor of the coll. The girl hated the
moon. It was a great Eye , she thought.
Calm , impartial , all-sooing , why did it
watch and watch , and wait and wnit.tho
night through to see what she would do ?
And It was so cold ah ! so cold ! And
she turned her back to the window and
crept to her bed , drawing the covprs up
ever her head to shut out the hateful
Eye. And nt last it went away , and
there were long dark hours when its
silver face was hidden , and at last she
could move stealthily about her cell at
night , could go on , silently and swiftly ,
with the great work she had boon plan
ning , without fooling continually spying
upon her the cold slaro of this myster
ious enemy. By this time she hail won
the entire confidence of the keeper.
She was so patient and docile.
Ah ! more patient than this good man
guesied , and moro cautious , too , and
moro furtive !
And ; at last , it happened on a cold ,
black night when the heavens were
overcast by threatening clouds , and till
earth's creatures sought shelter from
the bitter touch of Winter's hand , a
light figure crept between the loosened
bar. " of a cell window and dropped noise
lessly to the ground. Swift and straight
it took its way across the court , never
swerving , never hesitating in spite of
the impenetrable darkness ; for in the
slow elaboration of this mighty idea , all
had been calculated recalculated with
the triple patience which comes of mad
ness , of solitude and of imprisonment.
Veiled in the darkness , No. 30 took her
silent way past the square garden-plot.
She moved with the noisolossncss and
the certainty of a cat , She novel-
stopped , but as she moved rapidly she
lifted her face to the free night air as if
she loved it and had longed for it. Her
face was like a moonbeam against the
shadows of the night. Its peculiar pal
lor seemed to radiate a faint , unearthly
light. Almost as if she were conscious
of this , she bent her head and quickly
covered her face with her long hair.
She passed on in the shadow of the asy
lum walls and paused before the keep
er's quarters. Hero there was a small
door. Well she know it ! Long and
patiently had she wailed to hear from
some ono through which door she must
pass to accomplish her grand purpose.
She stood hero listening for an instant ,
then thrust into the keyhole something
she hold tightly in her hand. There
was afaint clicking sound then a sharp
squeak , which might have boon made
by a mouse , and a little rectangle of
darkness opened before her.
Silencol
The clouds gathered thickly ever the
mournful walls of the asylum. A wild
night-wind sobbed in the gaunt arms of
the leafless trees in the court-yard. A
single star trembled for an instant in
the black mass of moving clouds and
was gone.
Suddenly a woman's sharp cry smote
the night air. It seemed to come from
the keeper's quarters , but ono could
scarcely toll whence it begun , for it was
instantly caught up by the startled
creatures in the asylum and passed on
from ono to another with varying and
terrible modulations of fear , of angerof
insensate joy ! The ni > ! it itsa soon hid
eous with their cries ! The panic
spread ! From every cell came curses ,
shrieks , groans , wailings and sobbings ;
the sickening sound of human bodies
beating against the invincible bars
which hold the captive ; despairing cries
mingled with snatches of obscene song.
The sonorous voice of some frenzied
orator delivering his theories ; the
heartbreaking prayers of maniacs bog
ging to bo delivered from imaginary
tortures , all the horrors of the bestial
scene , indescribable as it is awful , enac
ted in these living hells where raon and
women live the lives of caged brutes ,
forsaken by Reason , and , seemingly , by
God.
God.Tho
The Jeers opened , and the director of
the asylum made his appearananco
among the keepers. His face was pnlo.
This was unusually bad , ho thought ,
oven for the violent wards. Awakened
from a deep sleep by the horrible up
roar , ho had feared a general riot among
the pationts. Suddenly a woman ap
peared at the end of the passage. She
was in her night robo. She hold a candle -
dlo in her hand , and two children clung
to her skirts.
"Hero ! Monsieur the Director ! Hero !
And oh ! come quickly ! "
The director moved toward hor. Ho
recognized the wife of the keeper ,
! Dosambre.
"Well ? " ho questioned briefly.
The woman began u mournful litany ,
broken by fitful sobbing. AlasI She
could hardly toll ! She had been sleep
ing ! There had boon something she
knew not what ! Her husband had
bounded up in the bed , had given a
heavy groan , had fallen back on hispll-
low ! Thou a dark tiling had sprung
from the bed right by her side , glided
across the room down the stairs , per
haps who knows ? She had been un-
ublo to reuse her good man ! Would not
Monsieur the Director come to him ?
AlasI Alas ! And again ulus !
The director followed the woman to a
room in the keeper's quarters.
On the bed lay the body of the man
Dosambre.
The face was hideous. The oycs
squinted horribly. The mouth was
ouen. The tooth had closed upon the
tongue.
"AlasI Alas ! " wailed the woman.
The director examined the body.
A small brad had been driven through
the left temple , obliquely into the skull.
There was no blood. The clumps of
grizzled hair nearly concealed the
wound. The nail wns a slender thing ,
without n head , but it had boon driven
homo with deadly forco. A fine scratch
extended to the oyobrow. It looked as
if something had boon picked from the
wound and drawn sharply across the
knotty forehead.
"Tho man is dead quito dead , " said
the director , gravely.
Ho loft the woman howling over the
corpse , and notified the koopor.
"wo will make the rounds immedi
ately. "
The procession of lights moving up
and down the corridors was a grand fes
tival for the maniacs. They had grown
quieter under the forcible measures
employed by the keepers , and now they
gave fierce cries of pleasure. Only a
few were enraged , and a few wore
sullen.
Number 30 was asleep.
The director bent over her bed with
the lamp in his hand.
The light awakened hor. She rubbed
her eyes with ono little hand. Then
she smiled her adorable smile. The
beautiful eyes were clear and serene
horfaco was joyous. She pushed back her
glorious hair and raised herself a little
from the pillow. Then she hold out tbo
other hand. It was tightly closed , us if
something of great value. Slowly she
extended the lingers that the director
might see what she hold. Tlio little
pink palm was empty. But she saw
something there. She was quito sat
isfied.
"I have it , " she whispered , triumph
antly.
The director pattoa her hand kindly.
"You are dreaming ! "
Ho gave a cursory glance at the grat
ing as ho passed. Ho touched the bars
at the window.
"Nothing wrong hero , " said this wise
and experienced man. "Tho girl has
slept well. "

THE GREATEST INVENTION OF THE 19TH CENTDRY AND THE GREATEST BLESSING TO HUMANITY IS THE ORIGINAL AND GENUINE
ROUND OAK
Because the price of hard coal has got so high that even the rich consider it too high for heating purposes , and the Round Oak will do exactly the same work with
coal , that a base burner will with hard coal and with less than half the expense , wilj.keep fire 48 hours with soft coal , or people that are using them say a week. The soft
son that hard coal has been considered the only practical or desirable fuel fen heating purposes is because no practical or desirable soft coal stove was made. Mor rea
money has been spent in trying to invent a successful soft coal stove than any othjer : stove ever m de. The inventor of the Round Oak was no stove manufacturer before
he made the Round Oak. His high intellect told him what kind of a stove was required to make a successful soft coal burner. The best proof in the world that it is a
