the sight was unique on this occasion.

UNJUST SUSPICIO'NS.
The train from Namuf'- lumbered
heavily into the station at Melreux and
wakened into momentary life its
sleepy stagnation» About half a doz-
en passengers alighted, among whom
was a tall, bronzed Englishman. His
searching glance warmed into a. smile
of pleasure as he strode hastily toward
a. Belgian gentleman who rushed to
greet him with outstretched arms.
With a. string of questions the Bel-
gian led the way into the station yard.
where an English dog cart was wait-
ing. They got in and away they
dashed in a cloud of White dust to-
ward the little village or Durbuy. Af-
ter half an hour’s brisk run they rat-
tled noisily through the village and
drew up before a pair of massive
wrought-iron gates. The house lay at
the farther end of a short avenue of
elms, along which they drove smartly.
As the Belgian alighted a clock
chimed musically.
"A quarter to twelve,” said he. “You
will just have time to get rid of your
travel stains before lunch.”
“Yes, M. Barvaux, I should like to
make myself rather more presentable
before meeting the ladies,” replied his
friend, Jack Hague. In less than ten
minutes he was once more spick and
span, and as he went down-stairs he
found M. Barvaux awaiting him. As
they entered the morning-room in
which lunch was to be Served they
were greeted by a couple of ladies,
whom M. Barvaux introduced as his
wife and her niece, Mlle. Richert.
The charming manner of :his host
soon made Jack perfectly at home. M.
Barvaux spoke English quite fluently,
and was rather proud of his accom-
plishment, but Jack was rather shy
with his French at first, although the
kind way in which the girl helped him
over his difficulties enabled him to get
along smoothly enough. .But he found
it much more pleasant to listen than
to talk, and when MlleuRl'chertbegan
to speak of herlove .fortlie Ardennes
he instantlybecame all eyes and ears.
It was quite a jolly little luncheon
party, but amid the pleasantness there
was something which Jack could not
understand. Ever and anon the girl .
appeared abstracted-andseemed to be.
watching M. Barvaux with a look of
deep anxiety, and once when his wife
placed her arm round the girl’s neck
affectionately Jack thought be per-
ceived an expression of mingled hate -
and fear on the face of the Belgian
as he gazed under his heavy eyebrows
at the girl. At first Jack put it down
as merely his fancy, but further ob-
servation convinced him that there
was something wrong. .
The days sped by all too quickly.
Fishing in the Ourthe, which ran close
by, or long rambles in the woods,
gathering bil~berries, occupied the
hours of daylight, and in the evenings
Jack sat as though under a spelt-while
Mlle. Richert sang dainty old French
love songs or extemporized dreamy
melodies on the piano.
But still the jarring note which had
struck Jack disturbed the pleasant
harmony, and as .day followed day his
first suspicions were confirmed and in-
tensified. However, he could discover
no intelligible explanation of the num-
berless trivial incidents which, had not
his attention been roused, would have
entirely escaped him. All he could be
certain about was that his host un-
mistakably manifested a strange an-
tipathy toward his niece. This how-
ever, did not prevent Jack and the girl
from becoming close friends, and it
seemed, at least to M. Barvaux, that
their friendship was rapidly ripening
into a much stronger feeling. Jack
felt that his host was displeased at
the turn of affairs, and he was there-
fore not very much surprised when M.
Barvaux, seizing a suitable opportup-
ity, asked him point blank what were
His feelings toward the young lady.
He replied with perfect frankness
that he was over head and ears in
love with her. .
“Ah, my friend,” replied M. Bar-
vaux, “I am very sorry for you. I
should have warned you earlier."
he continued, “She is a murderess.”
Jack stared at him in amazement.
Had -he suddenly taken leave of his
senses? No, he seemed perfectly ra—
tional, although very agitated. In an
exicited voice he went on to describe
how the girl was trying to poison him.
Jack came to the conclusion that his
friend was the victim of a. hallucina-
tion and resolved to humor him.
“But she .is so devoted to your wife,”
said be.
“Yes, and that is why I dare not
speak. My wife thinks Angeline is an
angel, and I am afraid to say any-
thing.” ' . ‘
On the next evening, the last one of
Jack’s stay, he was sitting in an easy
chair among the window curtains
when suddenly he heard the soft
sweep of a woman's dress in the room.
He turned and saw a figure in white.
“Angeline,” was on his lips, and he
was about to spring to his feetwhen
he saw something which turned him
to’stone. Shewas standingat the
sideboard with a thick, green glass
vial, the contents of which she was
pouringlnto. the decanter'tof wine
speciallygreserved for M. Barvaux.
His hest’ssuspicions were, then, cor-
rect. Oh, the horror of it! The girl
he loved a poisoner! He could scarce~

M. Barvaux had told him doubt ‘
seemed no longer possible; The girl

entered, closing the door as though

he did so his wife and Angeline. en-
tered the room, and dinner was served. .
The girl was dressed in white, and a
couple of glorious red roses gleamed
in her black hair. Never before had
she seemed so beautiful to Jack._ He
asked himself if it were possible that
so divine a creature .could nurse
thoughts of murder in ‘her soul. But

his guard and prevent M. .Barvaux
drinking the wine.
Supposing, after all, he were to be
wrong, how could he face the girl he
loved after accusing her of such a
foul and unnatural de'ed? He was too
agitated to eat, and. he observed that
both M. Barvaux and Angeline seemed
also preoccupied and ill at ease. At
length he managed to make his host
understand that he was not to. touch'
the wine. The Belgian smiled with
an almost sardonic expression and
eyed Angeline curiously. Presently
he raised the decanter and leaned over
the table, looking at her the while
with his deep set black eyes. '
“Allow me, Angeline,” he said, “to
pour you out a glass of wine.”
“No—no, thank you,”
the girl in an agitated manner.
“Come._I insis't. I will take no re-
fusal,” he cried, springing to his feet
and filling her glass. The girl turned
pale as death and seemed to lose her
power of self-will. Half mechanically
she took the glass Of wine and raised
it to her lips. She emptied it at one,
gulp, and then sank back in her chair, '
where she laystill andwhite. Wit -
a cry of terror Mme, Barvaux rushe
to her assistance,
commanded her not’to touch the girl.
Jack was on his feet in an instant, but
too bewildered to know how to act.
With a sickening sense of the con-
firmation of his worst suspicions he
concluded that the girl” was poisoned,
and off he rushed for the doctor.
good fortune he ran across the very
person lie was seeking. In a few
words he told him his errand and im-
plored him to return with him in all
haste.
“It is a matter of life and death,”
he cried. "Let us run.”
“Certainly, it you wish it,” replied
the doctor, “although I may tell you
matters are not so serious as you
imagine.” ,
“But—’f ' ’
“Permit me to explain, mo'nsieur.
The young lady is not poisoned at all,
- as you will see. The wine she drank
was intended for M. Barvaux, was it
not?" , _ ' ' '
"Yes, I believe so.”
“Well, you must know that he is
subject to periodical fits of homicidal
madness, and when these attacks are
coming on it becomes necessary to ad-
minister powerful opiates to him with-
out his knowledge. The paroxysm
passed, he is once more the calm and
cultured gentleman you' know, but at
times he is very dangerous, and but
for my treatment" it would probably
become necessary to put him under re-
straint. I was just about to pay my
customary visit tonight when you met
me, for I was expecting an outbreak.”
Jack was relieved beyond measure
on hearing the doctor’s story, but the
thought that he had left the girl he
loved with a man subject to homicidal
mania moderated his feelings of sat-
isfaction, and, anxious to get back to
assure himself of her safety, he tore
away from the doctor, for he felt that,
if an attack suddenly manifested it-
self in M. B-arvanx, Angeline, as being
the person who had raised his sus—
picions, would probably be the first
victim of his made rage.
Indeed. he arrived none to soon.
Mme. Barvaux was crouching in an
agony of terror at the feet of the un-
conscious girl, while her husband was
standing over them gesticulating
wildly. Jack speedily overpowered
him, and a few minutes afterward the
doctor arrived, whose presence had a
wonderfully soothing effect on the un-
fortunate gentleman. Under the doc-
tor’s care Angeline soon recovered,
but both she and Mme. Barvaux were
very much upset and were glad when
'Jack decided to stay a few days long-
er. They were days of infinite hap~
piness for both him and Angeline, and
when at length his stay came to its
end the Brussels express bore away
a reluctant but very happy man, to
whose ears the rhythmic“ rumble of
the wheels seemed to say. “Angeline,
Angeline, Angeline!”

“No,” said Rear. Admiral SampSon,
with decided emphasis, “the element

“Indeed,” he went on to say, in slow,
carefully weighed words, “I can’t tell

the casualties reported“ were among
those who had no business to be where
they were at the time; but it is al-
most impossible, in moments of such
great excitement, to restrain them.”
“Possibly they might learn some
discretion,” suggested rthe reporter,
“if they ran across gunners who could
hit things better thanthe Spaniards.” _
“Yes,” said the Admiral, With a
smile, “perhaps they might; but I" .
wouldn't like to be too:,fs'ure of it,
either. They lose their 'iddnti-ty, and . .
with it all sense of personal danger,
in the wild stimulus of battle. But,
let me say right here that a striking
difference can be seen in the conduct
'of all crews between the first time
they are under fire and all subsequent
ones. It may not be fair to call it
fear exactly, for we don’t see'th‘at sort
of thing in our men; cautiOn', natural
'ciples‘ of self-defense seem to evapo-
rate with the smoke of the enemy’s

sure other oflicerfi-have the "same ex.
perience to give cn‘this point. The

the men are total strangers to any-
thing resembling fear.”
' Here the reporter instanced the case
where one of the, compartments of
the Texas was hit by a Spanish shell
which killed one sailor and wounded
a number more, and asked the Ad-
miral whether such a calamity on a,
warship would, cause any temporary
stampede in a crew. ' '
“Oh, no,” he'replied._ “It wouldn’t
be human nature for a man to see one
of his comrades torn to letters by a
shell and others
around him, 'without‘a shudder, but no
American: sailor would. think of- leav-
ing his gun at such a sight. It is as-
tonishing how cool and callous they .':
become to such spectacles during the ~
heat of action. We don’t have stam-
pedes in the navy.” __
“And now that you have disposed
of the American crews. Admiral.”'“‘the

_ . caution, would be a better- word. In _

". . a
reporter said, “what about the officers '
on the bridge in action? Have they
any acquaintanCe with fear?”
“Yes, . they have, every man- of
them,” he answered, as the‘ care-worn
furrows in his brow grew deeper, and
his eyes rested on the questioner‘with
unusual force, “but it isn’t the fear of
the shells or any of the accidents of
battle. It’s that! awful. unspeakable
fear of running his ship aground or
getting her otherwise in bad position.
This is the only dread that bothers
the commanding officers. In an open
sea-way there is none 'of this danger
to keep’their'nerves 'in a tenSion. but
it comes w‘ithiconsuming force “when
they begin an engagement wighfshorc-
batteries, rapproaching nearer and

and me’nancedr'moré and more, each
moment, by ‘the oppresSive" fear. or

positive pain,- as if the recollection of '
