A Strong Point Against Him.
"You say you have known this de
fendant for many years?"
"Yes, ever since he was a boy."
"Do you consider him to be of sound
mind?"
"Well, I don't want to say anything
against him if it isn't necessary."
"But you are under oath to speak
the truth. Have you ever observed in
his actions anything that would lead
you to the belief he was weak men
tally?"
"He married the daughter of a poor
man when he might have become the
son-in-law of a wealthy manufacturer
who would have made him general
manager of the business."
Hard Finish.

The Lady In
The Picture.
By CLARISSA MACKIE.

IWWWWWMWWWWWWI I
"It Is the portrait of m.v ancestress.
Mistress Elizabeth Mowbray," remark
ed Dlcksou to. his assembled guests.
With one accord the four persons sent
ed al the table tu the great dining room
turned and looked nt the picture.
Framed In gold, It hung over the
chimney piece, reaching almost to the
lofty celling. It depicted the life size
figure of a beautiful young woman In
a pule gray gown In the fashion of a
century past.
A large gray plumed hat rested on
her dark hair, nud about her shoulders
was a loose rose pink clonk caught to
gether by one slender hand, while the
other held n plumy spray of white
lilac.
Illckson arose, glass In hand. "To
Mistress Mowbray; always young, al
ways beautiful und"—he paused and
added, with a mischievous glance at
his wife—"ever silent!"
There was laughter from the men
and a merry protest from Mrs. Dick
sdn as they drank the toast nnd re
sumed their seats.
"Rather an unfair advantage to take
of Mistress Mowbray," objected Mark
Randolph, with a glance toward the
portrait.
"I am sure that Harry's insinuation
Is quite unjust," said Mrs. Dickson,
wlt!l *P lr, L "Family history relates
^liftt Elizabeth Mowbray possessed a

"l suppose there Is a story connected
with the fair lady?" Insinuated Searles,
with a smile at his host. ^0

room 1"'
"When does the ghost walk?" asked
Randolph.
"Invariably on the 13tb of March,"
replied Dickson, leaning back In his
chair nnd looking fixedly nt the por
trait. "We have never seen the ap
parition. but some of the servants claim
to have seen It. It has so hnppened
that we have never been at the hall on
the 13th of March since our honeymoon.
I recollect that we came downstairs
one morning on the 14th of March and
detected a strong odor of white lilac.
As the conservatory was empty of
plants and as there were no flowers of
any sort In the house. It was rather
a"—
"A shock!" interpolated Mrs. Dick
son, with decision. "It was a positive
shock to smell the odor of white lilac
that morning, especially as old Hannah
had regaled us with the story the night
before."
"And so you have never waited up
to see the ghost walk?" queried Ran
dolph ns he opened the door for his
hostess.
"No. To tel! the truth, we always
run away," she laughed. "Suppose you
come down on the 13th of next month
and watch for Mistress Mowbray.
Hannah will take care of you, and then
you can report to us the result of your
Investigations."
"Agreed," he said readily, and as she
left the room he returned to the table
and remarked to thq others, "Any vol
unteers to keep me company?"
"Not I," returned Searles quickly. "1
shall he south about that time."
"And we," said Dickson lightly, "will
be in Egypt."
"I had forgotten that," said Ran
dolph. "Nevertheless I shall accept
Mrs. Dickson's Invitation to run down
here and make the acquaintance of fair
Mistress Mowbray."
He was looking nt the picture with
dreamy abstraction In his eyes.
"You admire my beautiful anceatress,
then, Mark?" Dickson allot a keen
glance at his friend.
"Yes." was the low response. "She
reminds me of another whom I once
knew."
On the 13th of March Randolph Jour
neyed down to the sleepy old New
England village where the Dickson
homestead spread its comfortable wings
behind sheltering elms, now leafless
and soughing mournfully in the east
wind. Within doors all was cbeerlness
and comfort, with soft lamplight and
blazing fires.
When Hannah had cleared the din
ner table and departed, Randolph
threw himself into a huge easy chair
before the fire In the dining room and
looked up at the pictured face of Mis
tress Mowbray, lie compared her face
with that of another Ellznbeth Mow
bray, a cousin of Harry Dickson aDd
also a descendant of the lady In the
picture. It was an old story now, ten
years old. He and Beth had quarreled,
and she had returned his ring and gone
back to her home In the south. They
hlld never met afterward, hut he had
never forgotten.
Randolph placed hot the slightest cre
dence lu the story of the apparition of
Mistress Mowbray, but the Idea of
spending an uninterrupted evening be
fore the portrait appealed to him. Un
able to longer withstand the glance of
the tender eyes, he burled bis face In
the upturned palms of his hands ana
gave himself up to unhappy muslngs.
Hour after hour was tolled by the
tall click In the hall, and when the bell
chliued 12 Randolph roused himself
with a slight start from the half dose
In which he had indulged.
Involuntarily he gazed at the por
trait, and a great wonder came Into his
eyes. He wheeled bis chair away frokn
the fireplace and stared. He rubbed
his eyes, looked about the softly light
ed room nud stared again.
Thdre was the same youthful figure,
with its gray plumed hat, gray gown
nnd rose pink cloak caught together by
one slender white hand. It was all as
It had heed before save that now
there was life In It—life In the soft
brown eyes and In a certain tremulods
movement of the pink bowed lips.
With white face nud unbelieving
eyes he watched the figure step slowly
down from the frame, and he saw the
movement of the purple velvet dra
peries that formed the background.
She stepped upon the wide mantel
piece; which was devoid of ornament,
and made an imperious gesture with
her hand, and ns she did so he was
conscious of the heavy scent of white
lilac from the branch she carried.
"My good sir, pray assist me to the
floor," she said In a low, vibrant voice.
As In a dream, Randolph hastily
fetched a chair and supplemented Its
height with a hassock. With grave
courtesy he extended a haud to the
lady on the mantel, nnd ns she gave
him the tips of her Augers he felt the
warmth of flesh nnd blood.
Rightly she stepped down, gathering
her skirts gracefully about her dainty
gray shod feet, nnd presently she stood
beside him. looking timidly at him
from beneath the shadow of her, long
lashes.
"My God!" he muttered, staring from
the vision before him to the empty
frame above the chimney piece.
With a quick movement the girl
slipped the pink cloak from her shoul
ders nnd removed 11m-gray ir riaii"
hat
er crown of dusky hair. "It
jff'oiily l, Mark," she said wistfully.
"I—don't understand—yet." He pass
ed n hand over his dazed eyes.
She stepped forward nnd pressed
upon a carved portion of the mantel.
Instantaneously there was a movement,
nnd the painted canvas swung into
:1th a little click. There was
place
Mistress Mowbray In her accustomed
place above the shelf, nnd beside him
was—Reth.
"It is one of Harry's Jokes," she ex
plained in n low, breathless tone. "He
wrote me n month ago nnd asked me
to come here and enact the apparition
of Mistress Mowbray. It was a favor
ite pastime when we were children,
fdr there Is a secret stair behind the
chimney, and the portrait Is really a
door which opens upon it. Harry said
that a 'skeptical friend' would spend
the night of the 13th here and asked
me to play the part. I was reluctant to
do such a thing, but Harry has been
very klud to me—and I consented.
They did not tell me who the 'skep
tical friend' would he, and It was--a
surprise to me—when 1 looked down
upon your upturned face."
She leaned against the tnll back of a
chair with down bent head nnd qulver
Ing lips.
"And you could have gone back—and
away from me again—and I never
would have known," he said, a vague
wonder dawning In his eyes.
She did not reply.
. "But you stayed—you made yourself
known to me—you came down to me!
What do you mean, Beth?"
She lifted her head slowly and look
ed nt him through misty, joyous eyes,
and he understood.
Hannah's voice broke crisply upon
the blissful silence. "A cablegram, Mr.
Randolph!"
Mark tore open the yellow envelope.
"It Is from Harry," he said, gather
ing his love into his arms, "and be
says, 'Bless you, my children!'"
H* Worked For It
Some years ago there lived In Arkan
man named Reynolds, who
owned a narrow gauge railroad from
Malvern Junction to Hot Springs. It
was partly due to the fact that he had
put by a neat little fortune and partly
to his habit of wearing an enormous
diamond shirt stud that he had won
the nickname of "Diamond Joe.''
It was Diamond Joe's boast that no
one had ever stolen a ride on his little
twenty-five mile road, and not content
with telling ihis to his friend's he of
fered n reward of $100 and a suit of
clothes to the man who could do it
One clear moonlight night a man
came into his office, dripping from
head to foot
"Is this Mr. Reynolds?" he asked.
"Yes," replied the owner of the nar
row gauge, Involuntarily glancing out
to see If It was raining.
"Well, I've come for that suit of
clothes and the $100. I've beat my
way on your road, Mr. Reynolds, In
the boiler tank of the engine. It was
hard work keepin' my head above wa
ter, hut I did It—and— I guess I earned
the prize."—New York Times.

The Ale Stake.
With the opening up of England by
the Romans hostleries sprang up for
the convenience of travelers. As time
went on the selling of liquor 1 became
so lucrative that wherever the traveler
broke his Journey his thirst might be
quenched. This naturally produced
competition among the many tavern
owners, especially In the large towns,
who vied with one another as to the
means of attracting the thirsty. It
was In these circumstances that the
"ale stske," or pole, to which was at
tached a furze bush, first came into
prominence. In 1375 these signs be
came so great a nuisance that a law
was passed to the effect that "ale
stakes" projecting more than seven
feet over the king's highway were pro
hibited, a fact which gave rise to the
proverb that "good wine needs no
bush." There are yery few of the old
Inns In existence nowadays.—London
