N a private dining room of oi.e of Chi- ( cage's palace - like • hotels there was as sembled. not many ! years ago, a re- ! markunle gathering j of legal talent; j such in assemblage j as can rarely be furnished except In ] this Western Vk orld | f W >f ours. They had been brought togther upon j Invitation of Judge John Townaend to celebrate his re-election as Judge for ; the supreme court of Illinois; and wish- j ing to make it a memorable occasion he had not only entertained them roy- ! ally through the day and with boxes for the opera In the evening, but a midnight banquet had been arrangd i in their honor. Judge Townsend seated his guest* nt j a round table, the appointment* of ! which were dainty and elegant in the j I extreme; rare china, cut glass nnrl sil- ; ver, choice fruits and fragrant flower* j adorned the bound, the whole softened : ami mellowed by electric lights in rich ; glass bulbs which studded the ceiling; |in the distant corners electric fana ; gently stirred the perfumed air. and ! skilled waiters in pure white suits . glided noiselessly over the Persian rugs oclltely anticipating the wants of each SUC2L As Judge Townsend took his position and glanced around at the intelligent and refined faces of hla coterie of | frlend3, his heart swelled with pride; i every man present was a Judge and several had attained to higher honors, j One was an associate Justice of the i United States supreme court. One served his country as secretary of state; several of them were judges of the supreme courts, and all were men of marked ability, a group which any man might be proud to call friends. The banquet continued until the small hours, and wit and humor flashed from the brains of these elo quent warriors of the bench—all the 1 more enjoyable because entirely ini- ( promptu. The Hon. U. S. Justice had the repu- ! tatlon of being a famous story teller, and during a lull in the conversation j was urged by his friend. Judge D . j to give one of hla characteristic west- ! ern sketches, to which he responded i with his usual bon-homle. calling forth a rousing encore. As he rose to bow in response to the encore, he paused a moment before re seating himself and, raising hla hand to request silence, said. In a humorous ly impressive manner: ’ Fellow judges ad friends, our es teemed host ban put up a Job on us— we shall one of us be a spook before the end of the year—there are thirteen at this table. We call upon Judge Townaend to explain himself and tell us how he dares defy the laws of super stition and thus publicly declare his unbelief in spooks and their visita tions." A chorus of voices arose for an ex planation from their host, and Judge Townaend. rising to his feet, glanced round the table at the smiling faces of his guests, then bowing to his accuser, said, in reply: "Your honor, in giving my invita tions I have evidently forgotten to In clude myself, therefore I am number thirteen; but in response to the accu sation which you have seen fit to make against me I will relate a few Incidents In my own life history, which. I trust, will sufficiently explain my present In difference to all danger of ghostly visi tations. # "I have a friend who Is more to me even than a brother; we were born in the same town, the estates of our fath ers Joined, and not a day of our boy hood was passed that we did not see each other; between us existed the most perfect harmony of mind, al though we differed widely In person. Horace was dark, strong, powerfully built, full of life and vigor, while I was blonde, delicate, by no means physical ly strong and somewhat timid. "I owe my present physical strength to Horace, for he encouraged me In athletic sports and laughed me out of my timidity, and when we went away to college together, 1 was almost if not quite his peer. "I will pass over our college life by simply saylag that, as usual, we aided and assisted each other and graduated in the same class. "Together we discussed almost every theme which was presented for argu ment. and among other things the su pernatural was often touched upon by us. "One day Horace astonished me by asserting that he believed in some rare Instances God In his goodness and mercy allowed the souls of hla earthly children who were to be taken away suddenly, with some duty unperformed or some warning unsaid, to wander at will over the earth and finish that work before they were translated to heaven, whence he thongbt there was no return. "I peoh-hooed at him. as I always did when oar conversation touched upon the powers .of the soul, hot Hor ace was in earnest and said to me. eery impressively: ‘John, I fully believe if I knew I must die and earnestly prayed to see yon once more 1 should be grant ed permission to annihilate space aad be visible to yon. nt least* " 'Don't talk to me about dying, when both of us are about as hsalthy speci mens.of young manhood ns there are to be found,' 1 replied, and the con versation was dropped, never to be re called to my mind until long years afterwards. "About that time our paths la life diverged. I took up the study of law, Hornes that of medicine. He spent sev eral years la the northern part of the state studying practical surgery with an Rgparlancod old sargnon who ex celled in certain branches of their pro fession Horace himself became an ex pert. and was afterwards made surgeon general of Illinois. "I married and settled down, but Horace remained a bachelor; people * called him a woman hater, but 1 knew ! better, aud that the man did not live i who had u tenderer, truer regard for ] woman than my friend. < "I suspected there had been some j i ad r3*s*mre in his life, but on that \ subject and tha: cal? was be reticent * with ro*». { ‘‘Horace wax often out guest, and i when he came we strolled off together j I or Hhut ourselves up in the library, an- • til my wif*> would be almost Jealous of j this monopoly of my time. "On the occasion of one of his visits Horace again uliudcd to bis old theories ' about the powers of the soul, and stat- { : cd that his profession gave him chances for closely observing the dying; that ! he had *ecn them grow calm and re- j main apparently oblivions .to every thing around them for a long time. , then suddenly awake to consciousness J ' of their suffering, but ready and willing j ■ to go. as If all their earthly desires had : i been fulfilled. 'My experience is.' he added. *:hst Phristian souls are al- 1 j lowed this great privilege In answer to j devout prayer.’ " For goodness sake. Horace.' I ex- I f claimed, "don't tell me you are becom ing a spiritualist.’ “ 'Not a bit of It. John.* he answered. I ‘So-called spiritualism Is disgusting to : me. but I do Ifcileve that our souls. . while still on earth, are sometimes al- j low ed to go w here they wish--and 1 j may yet be allowed to convince you j that mv theory is true.* " ‘You are getting morbid, Horace, j and I don't wonder, as you are so much > alone. I don’t know of any one who I needs a wife more than you do; why In heaven's name don’t’ you marry?* I replied. He grew serious In an in stant. and changed the subject. This visit from him was at Christmas time, and before he left we arranged a vaca tion trip to California for the next summer. ‘‘Letters passed l»etween us frequent ly the next six months; we were to meet in Denver the following July and j proced from there together. "My wife and 1 reached Denver at j the appointed time, and remained two days; still no sign of Horace. We were ; reluctant tu go on without him. so de ! termined to do a little sight-seeing, and w'ont on to Colorado Springs, leav ing word for him to follow. "We Joined a party for a tr|p to Pike's Peak, and arrived at theV*liff house, where we were to dine. After dinner I left my wife with a party of ladles and strolled off alone to revel In the grandeur of the scene. "I wandered far enough to be out of the sound of their voices, then button ing my overcoat about me. for It was 1 DISCOVERED HORACE. piercingly cold at that altitude and dif ficult to walk more than a few ateps without gasping for breath in the rarl fled air; yet I enjoyed the grand soli tude and was filled with a sense of be ing alone with God on thia mountain top. I seated myself on a boulder, clasping ray hands abont my knees and sat gazing at the . loads below, tinted In every Imaginable hue by the sun's rays and looking like a wall of pearl and Jasper shutting off the world from view. "How long I sat there I do not know. Suddenly 1 became consdona that 1 was not alone, and looking around to see who was the Intruder I discovered Horace sitting on a boulder near me. I could see him more plainly than I can see any of you. for the searching light of the sun was pouring down upon us. And there he sat looking lovingly Into my face, as he always did when we met, the same dear old chum as of old. "I was so surprised by his end den ap pearance that for a minute or taro I only sat and gaxed at him. my hands still clasped about my knees. Ho did not more or speak, but looked Bloodily Into my face, and to break the alienee I finally said, reaching out my hand: " 'Horace, old boy. how ghll im to see you; I feared something hod hap pened and that you coaid not coma.* Ho smiled—then raising his right hand pointed with his lidex fin gar'Upward; and faded entirely from my view. “At that moment my wifn appeared, accompanied by a guide.

It was evl j dent Horace had not received my mes j sages telling b!xn to follow us to Colo ' rado Springs. **l returned at once to Denver, where ! I found bis letter awaiting me. and as j near as I can remember It read as fol j lows: " ‘Dear Old Chum:— I intended to be j with you long ago. but waa detained by I severe sickness amohg ray patients. and have now received news which j obliges me to go cast at once. I may i as well confess the one secret of my life which I have kept even from you. my trusted friend. 1 loved Eleanor M . the daughter of the old surgeon with whom I spent several years: before I was aware of it my heart had gone out to her beyond recall; thou, and not un til then, did I learn she was betrothed j to her cousin; she married him. and ; her life has been a bell on earth, fer he was a dissipated scoundrel. Her own i fortune was soon swallowed up. but Eleanor fought bravely sgainst adrer- I ally and managed to care for herself j and children.

The secret revealed therein did not surprise me greatly; I had susplcioned something of the kind long before; Horaca was Just the man to keep on loving a woman all his life, and I was rejoiced at the prospect of bis being rewarded at last; but how in heaven's name could 1 explain that phenomenon on the mountain?—lt was so real that I trembled with superstitious awe when I recalled it. but Instead of hav ing been a subject of telepathy, as I had firmly believed, here was positive proof that no vision had appeared to me. The more ltrted to argue it out with myself the more puzzled I be came. and I finally decided It must have been s hallucination causd by the rari fied air acting upon my overtaxed brain. “I should never have known to the contrary had not Horace confessed to me the first time we met afterwards that he was really on the summit ef Pike's Peak In person that eventful afternoon. He found oat his trip east could be made as quickly via Denver, and longing to see me, followed on to the Springs, and took the next train to ours up the mountain. A guide told him where I was, and he quietly took a seat beside me on the rocks. Noting my look of astonishment and remem bering my scorn of things supernatural he decided to test me, so, without speaking a word, be rose slowly and. pointing upward, disappeared round a point of rocks as suddenly as he had come, never dreaming but I would guess the nine he had employed against me when I should receive his letter awaiting me at Denver. • “You may be Interested In knowing that Horace is now residing la Chicago and married to the woman of his choice. “And now. gentlemen, with your per mission we will drink a bumper to the decline of superstition and the trfuxnph of common sense In this good land of ours.** All arose In response and drank to the toast, then Joined In giving three cheers In honor of their esteemed hoot.

This Is not due. however, to the unimport ance of the corps. At present every chaplain, with a single exception, is ac tively employed either on a man-of-war or at an Important shore station. Sec retary Long declares that the work of a chaplain U very highly appreciated on shipboard by most of the command ing officers and that the moral effect * of their Influence upon the men Is no ticeably good. There are but twenty four chaplains in the eotlre service and acquaintance with the personnel of the corps leads one to believe that the standard of fitness has been kept high by the appointing power. The regu lations require t’rnt an applicant as chaplain be between the age* of 21 and 25 years and a minister ‘n good stand ing In bis denomination. In addition to these qualifications practice re quires the heflrty and unequivocal in dorsement of high ecclesiastical au thorities. who are willing to assume a good .degree of moral responsibility for the appointment. Political Influence of a high order may be used to bring the applicant to the attention of the presi dent and secretary of the navy, but can avail very little beyond this. The chaplain, once appointed, ranks as a commissioned officer of the staff, mesa es in the wardroom when on shipboard and is entitled to a private stateroom in the wardroom quarters. He wears no uniform and in this is the sole exception to the rule which obtains all the ships of our navy and applies to all officers and enlisted men. from the admiral of the fleet to the humblest mess attendant. Nothing in vidious is Involved in this discrimina tion and It is to be presumed that if a majority of the chaplains were to ask for a uniform It would be grant ed. The chaplains as a rule dress in ordinary clerical suits, the coats close buttoned and in blouse or frock, ac cording to circumstances. In conduct ing divine service each chaplain Iff permitted to employ the order used in his own denomination and may also use the vestmen»s of tlj church, if any. Andrat Warrsrr. Sir John Fastolf had by his will de vised his castle, called Caister, to John Paston. As a fortification. It was ac excellent defense against foreign in vaders, and as a residence it wa* worthy of royalty Itself, says th« Sewanee Review. In fact, the duke of Gloster, afterward Richard 111., at one time contemplated making It hh abode. While Paston was trying tc establish his title in the courts the duke of Norfolk purchased a pretended I'Wn to It and sought to gain posses sion by force. The Pastons did not propose to yield, though the duke was then probably the most powerful noble In England, and John Paston was hit liveried servant. Four professions: soldiers were eent up from London to aid In the defense. They are de scribed aa “provyd men, cunning in wc.*T and can wel schote both gonnef and croesbowee and deryse bolwerkyi and keep wacche and warde.

By the terms of the final sur render the besieged were allowed theli lives and goods, horses and harnesi and a respite for fifteen days. In which to go where they pleased.
