appear first to have I wen given their
familiar abort name, "Jesuits," by nous
other than Calvin. Pope Sixtus V. et
tempted to change their name from
"Society of Jesus" to "Society of Igna

and the Jesuits have never become
"Ignatlane," after the model of tbe
Franciscans, Dominicans and Benedlo

used to call them "Inlglsles" (Inigo bo

Prolonged "forty winks" during tbe

doctors mi foe ground that they affect
one's regular sleep. Scientists have
found that In the ordinary course In
the human being there la tbe greatest
vitality between 10 a. m. and 2 p. m
and the least between 2 o'clock and fl
o'clock In tbe morning. Long sleeps
during the day Interfere with this or

only forty, proves refreshing to many

A De&dle&t
[Original. ]
One summer night, or rather morn
ing, a cabman nodding on his box drovt
slowly op Broadway, New York. Pose
Ing old Matty church foe chimes In
the tower above rang out, followed by
the stroke of Z
"Hello!" cried a voice.
The cabman, ever mindful of a fare,
roused himself and, turning, eew •
men standing In the Iron gateway be
fore the church. There was little of bis
face or figure visible, for the former
was shaded by the brim of a singular
three cornered hat, tbe fatter wrapped
In a long cloak. The cabman drew up
et the curb. The stranger opened tbs
cab door and stopped hastily In, giving
a hurried order to drive northward
along the river bank. On ranching
a point opposite Weehawken foe
stranger called upon tbe cabman to
atop, alighted and walked toward tba
rivsr.
, It was now early dawn. On com
ing to the water's edge he looked
about him as though expecting some
one, then up and down the river,
glancing Impatiently at bis watch.
The cabman continued to eye him
wouderfngly, though he was tired and
sleepy. Was it drowuloeas that made
the queer figure seem to flutter In the
wind? A boat touched the shore pulled
by two toon In foe same garb as the
stranger. He stepped In and was
rowed away straight across tbe river.
Then It seemed to the cabman that he
had lost consciousness for a second and
tbe men pulling away In a boat had
been a dream. He looked about for
the stranger, but he bad Indeed dlsap
penred.
Suddenly the stillness was broken by
a distant crack, or, rather, It was two
cracks so near together as to be scarce
ly distinguished. Just then tbe leaves
of foe trees were stirred by a light
breese, and It seemed to the cabman
that something uncanny was In foe
wind. Indeed, though It was a warm
July morning, be shivered as If he bad
been struck by a cold draft from a
tomb.
The next thing foe cabman knew
foe two men who bad taken the stran
ger away were pulling rapidly down
foo river. The stranger himself wee
nowhere to be seen, hut foe men seem
ed to be regarding anxiously something
In the bottom of foe boat Invisible from
tbe shore. The cabman, bent on hold
ing to those mysteriously linked with
foe men who owed him e fere, whipped
np hjg horse end followed them down
along the shore. It wee a hard chose,
but be managed to keep them In sight
and finally they turned toward foe
shore. When they landed, cabby was
(here to meet them. The stranger was
stretched In foe bottom of the boat.
Taking him up, his companions carried
him ashore and placed him Inside the
cab. Tbe cabmen, ell In a flutter,;
mounted the box and was about to
drive ewey when he remembered that
In hla excitement he bed not asked
for Instructions. Looking back to do
so, not a ghost of e men who had been
there woe to be seen. As soon as be j
could sufficiently recover from his as- j
ton) foment be bent over to ask foe
question of the man Inside. The face
wee ashen and hod taken on a ghastly
glare.
"Drive," mooned tbe sufferer.
'•Wberer
"To the churchyard."
The cabman lashed his horse, his cab
swaying from curb to curb, its drivet
swaying os well on foe box, foe people
rushing to get out of the way. Now
end again a policeman dashed Into foe
street to stop him, but he was driving
too fast for them end left them ell be
him!,
"Foster r celled foe passenger In e
dying votes. 'Til be caught In tbe
maelstrom."
Tbe cab at last drew up at the gate
way of old Trinity. The cabman was
•bout to get down and help the man
out when he saw him flit rather than
walk or run In through the gateway,
pass right through an Iron fence and
Into foe churchyard. Down Jumped
foe cabman and dashed after him, call
ing for bis fare. I'asslng uround an
end of the fence, making his way
through the headstones, he managed to
keep the man, or, rather, ghost—for by
this time It resembled a dissolving but!
cloud—In sight.
There Is a monument on the southern
side of the churchyard partaking nei
ther of the style of the seventeenth not
of the nineteenth century, but a pe
riod betwixt the two. To this mourn
ment the fading object floated, and
thither the cabmun staggered. But 01:
reaching It not a sign of a living belns
was to be seen. Dazed, be tried tc
steady himself against the tomb, but
the gravestones, the high building
surrounding the churchyard, the spire
all began to rock as If they were tow
era on some gigantic vessel, and—well,
that's all the cabman knew. Indeed,
he sank down on the grave with his
head resting against the monument
There he whs seen by a policeman
standing on ate narrow street border
Ing the churchyard.
The next sign of consciousness foal
came to the cabman was feeling a grij
on his arm. Opening his eyes, he saw
foe policeman bending over him.
"My fare," gasped the cabman.
"Your fare! Do you expect to gel
fares out o' tombstones7"
The cnbtnnu rolled his eyes about te
assure himself where he was, and they
Anally rested on on Inscription cut on
n slab !n tho monument beside him. It
