Tho load ran through a beautiful, half
cleared wood? and at the end, on a slight
lise of ground, stood the madhouse.. Of
courso it was not called a madhouse, or
people would not hne sent their mentally
unhinged friends there It boro the eu
phonious appellation of "Dr. Brier's Homo
Sanitarium" and was consequently well
patronized. People usually dislike call
ing a thing by its proper name,
Tho perfectly kept grounds wero sur
rounded by a high iron fence, within
which the hannle-s inmate wandered at
will during certain hours of tho day.
On a rustic bench sat a young woman.
Her eyes were ('os-ed, and as she remained
in .repose shu was beautiful, with a Span
ish type of beauty that no other nation
ran equal.
Suddenly she starred up with a wild
motion of tho hand toward her throat as
though hho wero being choked The dark
eyes fhowed Intense fright, and the wholo
faco was convulsed. Gradually the frenzy
passed away, and she hank down upon the
Iwnoh again, with a wenry little laugh..
Tho soft breeze rustled tho lies of the
trees Hiid murmured a gentle lullaby.
Slowly the beautiful head sank lower and
lower until it was pillowed on a fleecy
wran which lav on the end of tho bench.
and she slept
At that exact hour it happened that a
curious woman, accompanied by a friend,
asked permission of ono of the physicians
on tho stall to bo shown through the place.
Ho had tho misfortune to bo one of her
frionds, bo he acquiesced; but beingbnsy at
tho time ho t urned her over to tho mercies
of a young doctor, who, finding the curious
woman and her friend rather amiable, did
his utmost to entertain them.
And so it occurred that after going
through the building they sauntered about
tho grounds and saw tho Spanish beauty
lying asleep, with her face us calm and
sweet as that of a sleeping child.
"Oh," cried tho curious woman ecstatic
ally, "do tell us about her!"
Tho young doctor smoothed his bud
ding mustache and looked about him. No
ono was visible.
"We don't often tell tho history of our
patients," he began hesitatingly, "butthis
is a rather peculiar caso, and if you spe
cially desire"
"Oh, do tell us!" cried tho curious wom
an, with a world of persuasion in her
voice. "1 assure you it will go no farther.
Is sho SpaniBh?"
They moved away slightly that their
voices might not disturb tho sleeper. Tho
young doctor replied:
"Oh, yes! Sho was born in Castile, and
whllo yet littlo more than a child hardly
10, I believe married for wealth and po
sition a Spaniard three times her age,
"Affairs went smoothly for two years,
when tho husband contracted a diseaso,
which proved fatal. Now it would havo
been much nicer and moro liko what ono
reads in Sunday school books if ho had
bidden his relatives an affectionate farewell
as ho lay on his deathbed, but instead of
doing that he called his young wife to him
and said in tones so low that no one but
sho could hear, 'Inez, if you marry again,
I shall come back from tho grave, and,
with the icy lingers of death, I shall choke
you chokoyou.' His faco was convulsed
with passion, and shortly afterward ho
died. Ho was buried with tho pomps and
ceremonies required in n Spanish family
of position, and for two years the widow
remained In seclusion.
"At the end of that timo she came forth
more beautiful than ever and joined a
party of friends traveling in Kngland.
Thero sho met the man who was to bo her
future husband a handsome, nthletio
young American of the Anglo-Saxon typo.
"Her fonniT husband's dying words so
haunted her that at first sho repulsed tho
American's suit. Howccr, he followed
her to her homo in Castile, and at latt,
sensibly concluding that flicso haunting
words wero merely the ravings of a deliri
ous man, sho married tho American.
"They came to America to live and for
a time wero very happy, but after n timo
they that is, sho"
Tho young doctor paused and cleared
his throat. The curious woman and her
friend exchanged glances.
"Sho began to suffer from a strango
hallucination," ho went on. "At night
sho often woko with a scream, belioving
that tho icy lingers of her former husband
wero choking her. Tho matter grow
worse, until sho felt the lingers not only
at night, but ulso In her waking hours.
Numberless physicians wero consulted,
but they offered no remedy.
"Her liusb.md was heartbroken nml

but nothing aalled, and she gradually I
grew worse until It was necessary to

"Nowhere perhaps in the world are
onions grown to such a state of perfec
tion as in the Bermudas," said a whole
sale produce merchant to a writer re
cently. "The balmy climate and rich
soil cf these islands, together with the
careful methods of cultivation, have
combined to produce an onion that, for
size and flavor, is peerless. The vege
table will average from one-half pound
to one pound and a half in weight. It
a always sound, juicy and crisp, and
these good qualities are o well appre
ciated by Americans that about 300,
000 crates of the onions are annually
shipped to the United States.
"Preparations to supply the markets
of this conntiy every spring with the
vegetable are made early in January,
nnd when gathered in March and April
the onions are carefully selected and
packed in crates, weighing, when filled,
160 ponnds. The onions are then taken
to the general receiving whf?i, where
they are subjected to a ligid inspection
by government officers. If the quality
of the produce is not good and any im
perfect or decayed specimens are found,
the farmer is, made to pick the goods
over and replace them. The cnions are
then passed by the inspector, and when
the crates have been closed and marked
by the shipper they are loaded on board
a steamship, which, after a voyage of
18 hours, lands them, principally in
New York. Here consignments of from
4,000 to 5,000 jrates, each containing
150 onions, are received semiweekly.
The vegetable is usually sold by the
weight and is worth about 5 cents per
pound retail." Washington Star.
