V heart that attempted to dictate to her sinco tho day she took it upon herself to "come ont" as a young lady, and to this first and only dictation she rofuscd to submit, so wo must leavo Sibyl to tho tender moroy of our reader to pass judgment upon her. " Mothor, I will not put up with it any longer I" Sibyl's cheeks wero aflame, and her dark eyes dilated as sho gave vent to the abovo. " Well, well, the course of true love never runs smooth. Herbert has been doing some thing awful again, I suppose," said Mrs. Renmero in a soothing voice. " Mother, I know you ore only talking lightly, but it does provoke me when yon speak of love between Herbert Talfourd nnd me. If you only know how I detest him I and I will not submit to his interference any longor." " Jly dear Sibyl, I understand how you do test hfm bettor tlion you do yourself,'' ond Mrs. Benmere smiled quietly. " But what has happened now ?" " Why, I was driving alone in the Park yesterday, when he came up to me, said it looked anything but lady-like to seo a young lady out alone driving a pair of fast ponies, and ho stepped into tho phaeton, took the reins deliberately out of my hands and drove me home." " And, my dear, he said what was perfoctly true. I nover drove out in such u style, and you are setting a very bad example, Sibyl. Already I hear complaints of Julie Slome, Elsie Harrington and sevoral others driving a fast pair, and all because they have seen you doing it." M , "Why, mother, I never nsk ony one to fol low my example. I do as I please, and I have n perfeot right to so long as I know in my heart I do nothing wrong, and this day puts an end to it. If Herbert Talfourd Interferes with ma again I shall oertalnly offond him." " My dear, yon must remember he is au old friend of the family, and at present our guest. If be wero not very much Interested In your welfare he would not speak at all to you, for I'm sure your conduot and speech have often given him offense." . . , Well, I will not bo dictated to by him, THE BIG DOG HAS FRIENDS. THEY A8SERT THAT HIS nOWLINQ D0E8 NOT DIBTDBn THEM. Other Penen In the Illoch, IIowvrr, Tronic Vpen Mr. Itandolph' Tet a Nalmnce to Invalid Colin I). Anderaon, the Anonymam " Onmmlttre," Kl'ond of Pet III I.nndlndy' Opinion of tho Do-. Tho " committee " which has complained at so many quarters of tho disturbing char, actor of tho howl of Mr. A. F. D, Bandolph's dog and experienced no relief in an abate ment of the lllogal nuisance, was discovered last eveniug by a World reporter in tho per son of Mr. Colin D. Anderson. Mr. Anderson is advertising agent for Thurbcr, Whylsnd A Co. He llvos at 123 West Twenty-first strcot, which is directly in tho renr of Publisher Bnndolph's homo In WcBt Twenty-sccond strcot. His address Is givon, not with the idea of f urnlahing n otto to tho many readers of Tnr. World who mny have sovereign remodies for dog howls to forward their recipes, although this probably will bo done. The man dis turbed by howls will doubtless rocjivo many suggestions as to remedies for his ailment, from tho slmplo and primitlvo method of stuffing his cars with surgeons' cotton to tho moro modern hypodormio applications ; but none, it is ventured to say, will be simpler or moro effcotivo than a complaint in porson in tho proper qunrtor, as suggested by The World, unless it bo a removal from tho ro glon of howls. Not entiroly satisfied that thq investigation of tho proviouB night had settled tho debata ble question whethor or not the song which Mr. Bandolph's big pot pup so frequently sang to tho moon was a nulsanco, as alleged by Mr. Andorson, " tho committee" of one, b further pilgrimage was made to tho dis turbed region last evening. West Twenty-first street was visited on this occasion with on idea that the backyard hay ings of a moonstruck dog would striko with greator forco on tho sympathetic tympanums of tho dwollers thoro than upon the hearing apparatus of Mr. Bnndolph's next uoighbors in Twonty-socond street. Mr. Hnrloigh Ellis, of No. 119. was the first culled upon. "A howling dog in the neighborhood, a nulsanco?" said ho. "Yes; if you'll wait a moment you'll hear him. I didn't know that ho was so near as Mr. Ban dolph's, though." Tho roportcr listened, but ho did not hoar the promised howl, and Mr. Ellis explainod that the disturber was unaccountably silent just at that particular moment, the instinct of the brute having advised him that au aveng ing fate was on his track in tho person of tho reporter. ' I can assure you," continued Mr. Ellis, " that I did not writo the anonymous com plaints, for if I had cared to nmko a com plaint I should not havo hesitatod to make it ' whero it would bo offoctive before a polico magistrate. But the dog has nover bothered mo very much, although thoro is no disguis ing the fact that its howling has been a great annnyanco to sick members of my house, hold. You know that thoro aro superstitious people who imagine a dog's howl to bo a por tent of coming death. Such a person would pass an uncomfortablo existence in this neighborhood." Next door, at 121, Dr. D. W. Williamson said : " No, it's no nuisanoe at all. The dog frobably howls two or three times a week, lo may tuno up much oftenor and I not hear or rather not notice him, possibly because I have become used to his howl. Ho does not disturb me in tho least, although I can well understand how a sick or superstitious per son could be wrought up by tho noise -as mournful a howl as was ever intonod by canine." Dr. Wilkinson was coroful to assure tho re porter that ho was not the anonymous corre spondent of The World, Mayor Hewitt, Supt. Murray, the Board of Health and Oapt. Boilly, and told of a visit made yosterday by an ofneer sent by the Mayor, who had ro. ceived anothor complaint. The maid who answered the boll's peal at 123 thought that Mr. Colin D. Andorson was in, but when she had ascended the stairs with tho message that a World reporter was awaiting him in the back parlor suo returned with the embarrassed announcement that he was out. Mrs. Sarah Woodward, tho lady of tho house, was not out, however, and sue camo at the reporter's request. Sho know about the dog and his ways, and she thought that he howled every day. There was no doubt that Mr. Anderson could hear the dog, because he had a rear room. He said that he could not sleep be. causo'of tho animal's howls. Mrs. Woodward has a rear room, too, how. over, and tho noise docs not disturb her, ol. though she ascribed that fact to the other one that sho had all sho could attend to to man. age her household without listening to the baying of a dog. " I don't doubt, though, that the noise is annoying to some." she said. " For instance, there is a lady with a sick boy upstairs, and the animal's howls give her tuo shudders. I had a gentleman who was ill and who died in ono of my roar rooms, and tho mournful sound was particularly depressing in his case. Mr. Randolph was notified of tho effect of tho dog's noise upon tho gentleman, and the ani mal's tuno was missed for somo time " I don't blame Mr. Bandolph. I think he's a nico man, and if 'Mr. Anderson had ro. questod him to silence the dog I think that he would try to do it. He's a big. splendid pet, and I know if I owned him that I should want to keep him if he howled to raise tho roof. " But the queerest thing about Mr. Ander. and he can hereafter take an interest in some one that will appreciate it I don't. There I" Sibyl's " there " must havo settled it, for Mrs. Bcnmero said no moro, but succumbed, as sho had done all hor lifo, to her wilful child. " I do detest him, and I won't put up with it," murmured Sibyl, as she made her way to her own room, with an angry flush upon her beautiful faco. As she oponcd her room-door she saw her maid sitting weeping, and instantly the anger died out of her faco and a look of sympathy was in its stead. " Is your littlo nophow any worso, Mario f " asked Sibyl. " Oh, no, Miss Sibyl, he's not worse, but I could not keep back my tears whin I camo home. I am crying out of puro gratitude. Your kindness has saved his life, Miss Sibyl. Can I ever do enough to repay you ?" " The little fellow is much better, then ?" And tho society bello turned away, and with a quick movement touched her oyes with her handkorchief. " He will bo no timo in recovering now, tho doctor says, and ho owes his lifo to yotl. Miss Sibyl. Oh, how can I ever repay you ?" ' fYou can repay me in ono way. Marie by never saying anything more about it. Havo you been to tho At woods?" ' ' Yes, Miss Sibyl ; I took the wine and the fruit, as you told me." " And how is lir. Atwood ?" Mr. Atwood was tho husband of Sibyl's seamstress, a man who had beon very pros, porous at one time, but who had failed in business, and also in health, until his wife had to take in sewing for tho support of him and their two children. Everybody knows what support the needle of one frail woman can give a family, Thov were on the direct road to starvation when Sibyl Benmere's maid found out their oondition and reported the same to her mis. tress. " Very low, Indeed, Miss Blbyl he cannot last many days," answered Marie. "Is thoro anything else wa can do for them. Marie " "Bless your tender heart, my mistress, ,. , ,. l maMmi1 lBUTfSkdr i foBltErfir'1" -At -...x. - son's complaint," concluded Mrs. Wood, ward, " is that ho's a dog fnucler and lovor of pots himself. Ho knows all about dogs nnd 3oes to the bonch shows, and there's a littlo osj downstairs which ho claims as his own, and ho lets senrcely a day pass without fondling and potting it. I don't understand how a man with such a lovo for pots can havo sttoh on aversion to this particular ono." A TRAMP'S IiONO HUNT. CroMla; th Oenn to Follow III Wife, Who Eloped With III Friend. A tall, thin tramp, whose face still ihowtd traces of respectability, walked Into Police Headquarters last night and asked for a night' lodging, lie wa directed to apply for shelter at a atatlon-houae further down the street. To a reporter who talked with him he unfolded an Interesting personal his tory. "What made me a tramp T A woman; my wife," he said, aa he clinched his fists. ; We grew up to gether In the same town In Ireland I, Michael Fogarty, two years older than abe, Ellen Carroll.

Tue old place felt lonely, though, after he had gone and then It waa tnat 1 thought seriously of asking Kile a. to be my wife. Bti waa alone In the world, too. Her parenta died within a week ot one auoiher. We were married ten year ago, Two children were born, Bridget and Delia nod bless them wherever they arc and we had spent aeren teara happily In our old Irish home when Martin O'Brien, a distant relative of Ellen's, visited Ireland and called at our houae to aee her.

IFrom t4 BaUimor Amiriean Wathtngton Lttitr, Home queer things hsppen now and then In society, which, though they do not get In the papers, nevertheless raise considerable stir for the time being In the particular circle most nearly affected by them. Particularly la this true In the matter of weddings, two notable Instances haMng taken plaoe very recently. At one of the weddlnga, wnlch wo oelebratcd according to the Presbyter Ian rites, tho young clergymen came from New York lonomelate, as he wa a near relative of one of the contracting parties. Tho young divine, ris ing to the dignity of the occasion, delivered a long address, the glowing eloquence of whloh caused hi hearers to turlll with enthuslaam, and prognosticate for him great thing for the future. Bo decided was the Impression created on all present by hia addreas, that It became the sub ject of universal comraont, proving a veritable nine days' wonder. In the midst of wnlch the sub ject departed for his parish In New York In a whirl of glory. Among bis auditors at the wedding wa a lady to whom tne address seemed strangely fa. miliar. Do what she would she could not rid her self ot the Idea that somewhero she had read the whole address, that It was not original with the young divine. Imbned with this luea, she put on her thlnklng-cap to some purpose, for before very long aho had located the borrowed addreas, and takum down her favorite volume ot George Eliot, traced It word for word In "Adam Bede," sev eral pages ot which had been studiously committed to memory, aa having an appropriate bearing upon the ceremony at which he had been Invited to oUlclstc A Queer Old Indiana Town.

"I know how you detest me, for I have often heard you saying it, but I will speak out, and you must listen to mo this time, for I will never lecture you acain. Sibyl, for tho sake of thoso who are influenced by you, you must rise to a better lilo, for remombor that "No life Can be pare In Its purpose, and strong In Its strife, And all life not be purer and stronger thereby!" " And if Mr. Talfourd has finished his say, I'll limo the pleasure of bidding you Rood mominr," and, quickly withdrawing her hnnd from his clasp, Sibyl swept from tho room. Herbert Talfourd stood motionless where Sibyl left hitn, his heart torn by conflicting emotions. Sibyl ltenmero was tho only woman ho ever loved, and his love was iu vain. lie could not tell her that he loved hor while sho folt as sho did towards him, neither did he wish her to know that he was hor slave whilo she led her present life ; for Herbert hated tho so-called leaders of society, gay butterflies of fashion. Hut beforo to-day ho could not be lieve that Sibyl was given up body and soul to frivolous gayety. Sho was a spoiled, petted child, but he thought that the heart in her bosom beat warm and truo. Ouo, two, three weoks passed away, and if Herbert Talfourd had turned to ice, Sibyl thought ho could not be colder. Ho nover interfered with, never advised her now. Per haps it was this letting her severely alone that made Sibyl forget how she detested him. Now this non-interference might account for Sibyl no Ion per detesting Mr. Talfourd, but why it should keep him continually in the young lady's mind wo cannot say. Sibyl was ' not a nioinont alone with hor thoughts, and very often when she was not alone with them they were on Herbert Talfourd. " What can have come over me f I am not like myself," Sibyl would say in her own mind as the wandered through the bouse like a restless spirit.
