What Shattered tha Lieutenant'

Tha tall, handaome offlwr bowed row
ofr the tiny hand extended to him.
"Delighted, I am turc, to make your
acquaintance. Miss Garland. All the
boya hare been talking bo much about
yom that I feel I almgat know you."
"Lieut. Winthcwp," turning toward
him eoqrtettUUly, "I think that is pure
flattery, a eurtly in two week yon
hare had Vme to make my acquaint
ance, if xu were ao desirous of it."
"Ttve, but then you ee 1 only ro
arad a day ago."
, A he spoke the band played the
Inarch, for aupper, and, offering his arm.
Liaat Winthrop led his partner from
the ballroom.
Lieut 'Will Winthrop was one of the
most popular offloera of the th. Al
though bnl tWKnty-eight, he had been
In many campaigns, and was now on
leare. spending his time at that moat
dellcMful place. Point Comfort
Mia Delay Garland was one of the
kellea of the place. She waa not tall,
tately "society" woman, but an ira
pulslre southern girl She was the
only child of a millionaire orange plan
tation bolder. Having been educated
ia Vlrgtnia, she had been In society but
a short time, yet was already one of
the most sought after and favored girl
in the place.
Two day after the bail Vtnthron
might have been seen, fclowly strolling !
Mp toward the pretty tottage Mr. Gar
laad had hired foe tne time he and hia
daughter were, to spend at l'oint Com
fort If ajfnne had told Will he waa
going see hia pretty partner of the
bail h wonld hare politely told him he
we crazy. Oh, no! hi praiseworthy
intention wa to have a cozy talk with
Mr. Garland about the least romantic
subject, financial news.
Although very few knew It, Lieut
W. Winthrop hail a snug little fortune
invested In the far north. Ever since
his cadet days he hud laid aside part of
the generous allowance his father sent
him,
''Of course," Winthrop soliloquized
he went tlong, "everyone thinks
just because there is a pretty girl here
I come to see her, but I will show them
At 4 .1
I tub contrary.
A he arrived at this conclusion lie
marched up the stops and gave a de
termined pull at the great lion' head
that served as a knocker. A trim maid
aorvant opened the door and told him
the master was out, but she had order
to ask the lieutenant in when he called,
a Mr. Garland had left a mesHge.
Even aa she spoke the parlor door
waa pushed open and Miss. Daisy ap
peared. "Ahl Mr. I mean," with a pretty
bhish and smile, "Lieut Winthrop, so
yon have come at last," and she put
out her dainty band, which was cor
dially clasped In his for a moment
"Papa waited until a few minutes
ago for you and Instructed me to keep
you if you came until his return. You
can see him at the club if you care to
go there, but I am quite alone and will
be Very pleased not to have to wait
alone," she continued, pleasantly.
"Well, Mis Garland, If I won't in
terrupt you reading, for I see you have
been quite studious by the book you
carry, I will wait for Mr. Garland here."
As Will followed hi hostess in he
could hardly conceal hi surprise at the
beauty of the drawing-room. The
walla ,'were hung in the palest
rose color. Great lounging chairs and
tiny gilt ones stood around In an in
viting way. The table wa covered
with magazines, and a handsome book
case was well filled with the choicest
literature. Everywhere wa the evi
dence of refined taste.
Each stand was loaded down with
flower. Great hardy jacks crowded
out the dainty tea roses, while violets
nestled lovingly In their bed of leaves.
Near the window stood Daisy's favorite
chair, and the second volume of the
book the (till held in her hand, thrown
carelessly on the floor, showod she had
loft her nook hastily.
A Will took In these details his eye
rested upon Daisy. To him she was
the aweetest picture in the room. Her
dark, curly hair was pushed carelessly
back from her white forehead, and her
handa were clasped behind her head as
she leaned back In a big chair talking
lazily to Winthrop. One tiny boot was
thrust forward and tapped the floor
gently a she spoke. A few pale roses
were fastened to the white folds of her
collar, and one nestled Id the dark
masses of her hair.
Mr. Garland did not cone in nntil
five o'clock, o although Will had come
intending to stay only an hour, It was
well past six when he walked back to
hi hotel In his mind he saw the
pretty face he had just left
The next day Mr. Garland left for a
short stay at hi home in Virginia.
Will had a cordial invitation to step in
any time and see his daughter. After
hia last visit Winthrop thonght he had
done hia dnty and stayed away three
whole day. On the fourth he recon
sidered Mr. Garland's invitation, and
on the fifth yielded.
Then began again the old story of
Eve tempting Adam. After his fall
Winshrop was a constant visitor at the
Garland's pretty home. Soon it became
known to every one that the handsome
lieutenant wa a suitor for the hand of
the onthern beauty. Every day
promptly at two Winthrop would ap
pear on hi well-groomed horse, leading
a pretty, bay by the bridle. In a few
minute Daisy would step out in her
stylish habit, and off they would ride.
About two months after Lieut
Winthrop was sitting in a large arm
chair before the Are and evidently in
deep thought. . Suddenly he addressed
the fire thus:
"Bee here, old man, you're in. love.
No use denying it Here you sit
grumbling and wondering what to do,
and there i only one conrsfl for you to
take, tile her heart, she has always
teemed glad to see me whenever t
came. Ycsl by George, I will try my
fateto-nScnt"
After making thia resolution Will
put on his hat and wentout Strolling '
into, the clab he found a square white
envelope addressed la the hand he
knew so well
"I shall be very glad to hava you
spend the evening with us, as papa is
coming home" so ran Miss Garland's
note "and he is to bring a particular
friend. Mr. Lane, to spend a few day
with aa,"
Will's face flushed with pleasure as
he strode away whistling. Promptly
at seven he wa dressed and waiting.
Having some time to epare he threw
himvlf upon a lounge and lay musing
ia the darkness. Now that he waa
ready to test hia faith he was not quite
so confident
"Suppose (he refuses me? But great
Scott! she is no coquette, and, then,
hasn't she shown she likes me? Per
haps,' but he put the thought aside as
preposterous. No, of count Lane
couldn't be on the same errand a him
self. At last) The hr.il clock sweetly and
Clearly rang out eight strokes. It was
time to go. How well he recalled th
pretty picture Daisy made the first time
he saw her in her own home. Hastily,
joyously he mounts the atepa of her
house and smiles to hear the resound
ing noise his energetic knock ha made.
Th door ia opened aa before by the
trim servant but this time aha shows
him Into the parlor at once. Winthrop
never forgot the picture as the drawing-room
door opened. Daisy was
lounging in an easy chair before the
fire. Near her on a footstool was one
of her most constant visitors, Arthur
Scott.
Lane was leaning on the heavily
carved mantel, talking easily with
both. The firelight glittered on Daisy's
hair, bringing out the golden tints and
making her simple 'white gown rosy
red. This evening she waa attired in
a soft white silk, and bearta-ease wa
her only ornament a bunch at her
waist and throat
As she rises to greet Will he notice
that her eyes are very bright and (he
appears very nervous. After speaking
a moment with hia hostess Will turns
to Lane and both his outstretched
handa are caught in a warm clasp by
him.
A couple of hours passed pleasantly.
and then Scott rose to go. A soon as
Daisy left the room Herbert Lane
turned quickly to Winthrop and ex
claimed: "Old fellow, you will help me, won't
you? So glnd I explained everything
in my letter save bother now, and
DalRy Is so pleased."
Winthrop stared stupidly at Herbert
and gasped: " hat, for heaven a sake,
arc you driving at? What letter do you
mean?"
It whs now Lane's turn to look
amazed. "You don't mean to tell me
you never got my letter? Why, Daisy
was always writing how kind you were
to her, and I thought it was on that ac
count"
"Speak quickly, Herb!" exclaimed
Will. "Before she comes back. How
dure you call her Daisy? What right
have you, I sny?
"Why, man, the best in the world,
for for she is my wlfo."
"Your wife? Your your wife?
You're fooling. Herbert, say you are,
for I lpve her."
For a moment he spoke as if dazed,
then sank on a chair and covered his
face with his hands. Just then Daisy
appeared in the doorway. She looked
in amazement from one to the other.
then as Will raised his head and she
saw the direst misery in hia eyes she
came swiftly forward.
He sees the face of the girl he Iovts,
all her pretty color gone and ail her
happiness gone, "ill tries to speak,
but Lane comes gently to her and save:
"Go, Daisy dear, leave him to me.
Then as Will's face again falls on his
bands, she bends Boftly and giving
Winthrop one quick kiss hurries away.
When Daisy had gone, Lane told
everything. IIow be bad loved Daisy
for years, but could not get her father's
consent, until, taking matters into
their own hands, they had married se
cretly.
When Lane found that Mr. Garland
Intended to bring his daughter to Point
Comfort he told Daisy to make friends
with Winthrop and be would write
loiter to Will explaining alL And that
was the letter Winthrop never re'
ceived.
But now he (Herbert) had a good po
sition and had come to confesa to her
father, and had wanted Will to say
good word for liim. Daisy was only
too glad to have a friend who knew
her secret and so showed a marked
preference for Will's society to that of
any of the other men that flocked about
her.
When Lane had finished, Will stood
up and grasping Herbert's handa said
nobly:
"Herb, dear fellow, I will do my best
Leave me alone and I will see her
father, and congratulate your your
wife for me
As Lane left him Will sat down and
gazed around wearily. What brigh
dreams bad come and gone in this little
parlor, but now all waa over.
He touched the bell and asked to see
Mr. Garland Uow be pleaded his
friend's cause, or what he said, f never
knew; however, he must have done hi
best for Mr. Garland forgaro and for

a note of invitation to Winthrop
spend the day at their house. He never
camo or got the note, for he had left
for the north the night before.
When he reached New York he wrote
to Daisy, bis first and last letter, and
that was a note of congratulation To
Lane he wrote more briefly, aa follows
"Dear Hkhbkrt: Do nol think 1 envy you

Sweeping th. Carpet.
With a little care you can sweep the
dirtiest carpet without raising much
dust by placing outside the door of the
room to be swept a pail of clear, cold
water. Wet your broom, knock it
against the side of the bucket to get
out all tho drops, sweep a couple of
yards, then rinse off the broom again.
Continue this until you have gone over
the entire surface. If the carpet is
very much soiled the water should be
changed several times. Slightly moist

The city editor of a newspaper which
employs the services of an enterprising
yoang ma a a friend of mine to a
small amount asked him one day to in
vestigate a strange story which had
come down over the telephone from the
Fourteenth ward hospital. He gave
the young ma a an order on the caahier
for his car fare. Having exchanged
that for tea cents worth of malt ex
tract with a gentleman on William
street, my friend walked op to the

He rassed his credentials in to the
chief surgeon at tha hospital and was
admitted.

surgeon's knife to sharpen his pencil

building, and"
"A passing which?"
"A building which he was passing;
and a part of hi brain wa missing. It
looked like a pretty serious matter, and
to I took hold of the ease myself. We
found that it would be necessary to

have none to spare here, so got that?"
"Yea"
"So we tent out After awhile w

had no further use for his brains. We
operated on him, and made the trans

he seemed to get along first-rate until
yesterday. Then he got up out of bed
and assaulted his physician, throwing
four of them downstairs. He doesn't
recognize his wife, and claims that he,
alone and unassisted, can lay out any
seven men in the hospital If he Is not
molested by the police. He also speaks
with a strong Irish accent, and has
gone back on his politics. He claims
his name is Dolan."
The chief snrgeon reached behind
him for his handkerchief and wiped the
perspiration off his face with the air
of a man whose confidence has been
abused.
"How do you account for the
change? the reporter asked, recross-
iug his legs on the window-sill.
"We don't account for it at all," th
chief surgeon answered. "We can find

extracting from wood or rag pulp, ustwl
in th manufacture of paper, by a series
of moving electric magnets, all tracei
of irou contained in the pulp. By
means of a sprocket chain the magnets
are drawn through the pulp, then ele
vated to a higher level, where they de
posit their picking of iron dust la a re
ceiving tray, the circuit being broken
when the magnets are in the proper
position. A jet of water also assists in
washing the magnets clean, ready fo
the next immersion in the pulp The
dovlce is extremely Ingenious and per
fectly simply and practicable, and bai
proved a wonderful success.
Two men were arraigned in a New
York court recently for stealing elec
tric power, the ease being the first of its
kind in tbatelty. Edward Girdnerand
his brother-in-law have charge of tht
exhibit of the Roulette Cycle Co.. of Cov
entry, Eng., at Madison Square Garden
Frank Martin, the electrician of the
garden, observed that the wheels of
bicycle hanging above Gardner s booth
were being turned at a rapid rat by
some unseen power. On investigation
ha found that the electric light wire
had been tapped, and were connected
with a small electric motor, which kept
the wheels in motion It is said that
in a somewhat similar case the supreme
court In Buffalo austained a charge ol
larceny about a year ago.
The introduction of electric power
in the improvement of drilling, and
quarrying machinery within the past
few years is evidently destined to work
revolution in the accomplishmen
of tunnel engineering projects Exca
vations that formerly occupied year
can now be made in a few months, and
a striking reduction in the estimates o(
the time required for the carrying out
of engineering plan ia apparent It ill
stated that the proposed Simplon tun-
nel is to be constructed at a cost and ,
rate which will place its predecessors
in th shade. Motive power is now
easily obtained from water In the Swiss
mountainous districts, and th facility
with which electric power can be trans
mitted renders the site of a generating
station a secondary consideration.
This new tunnel through the heart
of the Alp is to be completed in h
years. .
TO CURE TOOTHACHE,
rraerlptloa for Fmerf racy TrMtment
That Is Cenv.Bt.at to Know.
Toothache is a little thing In the
books, but many physicians would
rather meet a burglar at the door on a
dark night than a call to cure a bad
toothache of several days' continuance.
A hypodermic of morphine only post
pones the evil day, and usually the
patient is respectfully referred to the
dentist The tooth should not be ex
tracted while the jaw and gum are in
flamed and the latter swollen, snd it is
the physician's dnty to treat the case
until the above conditions are removed.
Alway keep a (mail phial containing
the following mixture: Chloroform,
gtt x.; glycerine, gtt z.; (at tol. ao.
carbol., gtt x.; morphine, gr. j., with a
amall wad of absorbent cotton If the
offending tooth has a cavity or decayed
surface, saturate ft amall pellet of cot
ton with the above mixture and put
into tMe cavity or against the decayed
surface, as the case may be never pack
the cotton in, or the more I the trou
ble, but- have the pellet small enough
to enter without crowding. In most
cases thi will end the trouble.
When the gum are (woolen and ten
der paint two or three times, two in in
ate apart, with a four per cent solu
tion of cocaine. This time of year j onr
patient may have been eating a good
deal of fruit The tongue and mucous
membrane of the mouth are pale, he
ha a sour stomach, and next day the
toothach will return Give-ten grains
of sub-carbonate of bismuth and ten
grain of phenaretin at once, and a
imilar dose before- each of the three
following meals, with a laxative if
needed, aud (ton all fruit for a few
days, and it will not return. The some
' ,,t fruit-eating will stop the persistent,
tormenting ncuralcias so prevnleut at
this sc-awn. Jedkal Record.

FLESH-EATING HARES.
Tke Cub.lt.vln a- (itrmaa Loat Ills Bet
Wltk tho Spaniard.
Hare is a dish never seen on a t, .iu
ish table, because in Spain there is
superstition that hares, in the nu-tit,
go into churchyards and dig up tin -grave
and eat tho dead bodies. A
writer in the Munuliener Zcitunpr, who
recently spent somo time slioot-ii in
CastUle, where game is very plentiful,
relates how ha wss convinced ci tha
fact that hares do eat flesh. I!a h1
been told so by the country psnplc. but
had treated their assertion as a ridicu
lous Action. The next time he found
himself in a party of sportsmen he re
peated what be bad heard as a vt-:
but, to bis surprise, every one lisu-ned
qnite gravely, and assured him that it
was perfectly true; they themselves
had frequently seen hares eating fk-5li.
As ho still expressed doubts on the "-.-ib-jeet,
however, one of the com puny nf-
fered to bet him fifty litres of wine
that he (the German) should see a Mre
eating meat The bet was accepted.
The next morning very early, the
Spaniard, the German and two pry-
honnds went out to a great heath to
look for flesh-eating hares. As t'- v
were sitting waiting for the hares to
appear, the Spaniard, to the German's
amazement took a little live crab out
of his pocket "What do you want
that for?" said the German. "To
catch the hare with," replied hm
Spaniard. It struck the (Sermtin trt
perhaps the Saulaid hail lu..Hi.l
out merely to make a fool of him. Ion
then he reflected that that was not t n
Spanish way with utra'"- 1 -held
