TRAGEDY on COMEDY

".1 ’ I
I kueéir George Arbuthnot pretty
well.;fol-‘,"two years—ever since he had
'been married,“in fact and considered
himi.a.irising follow in the literary
world. He had not done anything very
gfeat, but his work was distinctly
promising, and his name was gradual-
ly making. itself known. Unluckily,
'he had married the wrong woman.
But my friend was not like some
men—he did not whine and cry, be
. 'made the best of it. He did not go out
.and search for a “twin soul” to Whom ’
he might confide his maritalsufferiugs
though, Phoebus knows. he had
enough to put up with. It was not
bad temper. It was jealousy—bitter,
mean, incessant jealousy—that grudg-
cd him even his literary fame. . Aga-
tha Arbuthnot was one of those little,
pale, blue-eyed women, with.a spit..-
ful tongue and a narrow heart, who
have ruined the career of many a sen-
sitive man. She hated to hear her
husband’s praises sounded in her
ears. .
One afternoon. Agatha was slanging
Arbuthnot because some women who
had happened to call the day before
had gush-ed, and told her how fortu-
nate she was to he the wife of such
a rising genius. Her face was crim-
son with anger. and her voice very
shrill as she mimicked her callers.
"Dear Mrs. Arbuthnot! How proud
you must be of your clever husband!
He's quite a genius. How I envy you
living with the man who can write
such exquisite stories!”

“Clever! Exquisitell A genius! I
never saw any genius in your silly

tales. Beastly rot, I call them. I wish
to goodness I’d married Henry vJeu~
kins instead of you. At any rate,
people wouldn’t have praised him up
just in order to run me down. I know
What they mean. 1‘ course I’m stupid
and brainless and sillyr—no-t good
enough for you to wipe your boots
011—77 "

And then Arbnthnot did the most
sensible thing possible. He walked out
of the diningr room, and locked himself
up in his study.

George’s den wasn‘t much of a
“study,” merely a smoke-begrimed
den. furnished 25.11 a second-hand bu-
reau. two orth- chairs, and some
shelves of: books. Agatha called it.
“Georg-3’s sulking room,” but I knew
it was the only haven of refuge Ar-
huthnot could find in his own house.

“A. 1119.11 must dice his own weird."
Arliuth‘uclt said, as he sat down wear-
ily at the bureau and looked at the
sheets of paper that littered over his
desk. "I’m not the only fool who’s
found marriage a failure; and after
all. I’ve got a brain as well as a
heart. I'll give myself up to work, and
wasze no time in morbid self—pity.
That's a form of cowardice that leads
to the cutting of one‘s throat; and it
I‘ve exhausted the possibilities of
marriage, I’ll be hanged if I’veex-
li:lll$f(‘.t1 the possibilities of life.”

He smiled griniiy, and taking from
one {of the pigeon holes a notebook,
laid it on his desk and began 'to read
its contents.

From that day .arbuthnot progress—
ed swiftly through the book that was
so make his name. This was to be his
masterpiece, wherein he wo id show
his best of brain and heart; and, as
the weeks rolled on and the novel
neared its end, Arii‘utihnot realized his
work was good, and in that knowledge
:‘rould afford to live, and did live, with-
out love and sympathy.

In truth, he needed every support
that werk and philosophy couldgive a
man. Agatha.’s conduct grew daily
more shrcwish and violent. and her
tongue less fastidious in its choice of
words.

“So you‘ve taken to locking yourself
up in your sulking room,” she cried
one day, when Arl_t-.;thuot had perforce
Tex-gen compelled to answer her heavy
hanging on his study door. “It’s a nice
thing when a husband comes to lock
himself up from his wife! I suppose
my society’s not good enough for such
a clever than as you.”

Arbuthnot saw that she wasin one
of her paroxysms of rage, and resolved
to control his own feelings.

“I wanted to finish some work,” he
said calmly, looking at the floor iii—.2
Iercd with loose sheets of paper. “Ami
this room is hardly lit for a lady's soci-
ety. You see. I have scarcely a chair
that is unoccupied with books.” ’

"Yes, it‘s a horrid hole,” assented
Agatha. curtly;- "but you men who
write are more like pigs than human
beings. Just loo}; at the dust on that
ulcsk; it’s shameful. And Sarah says.
you won't let her touch your papers.
l‘m ashamed to have such a. dirt}?
room in my house: l'il come and dust

At these words Arbuthnot lost. his.
philosophical self-control.

“I must ask you not to touch the
papers onmy desk,” he said, hastily.
"i_."'a'llo:v Sarah to brush anddust er-
erything in the room but. my desk,
aodthat 1 attend to myself.”

"Of course you fly at my throat
. when I offer to do anything for you,"
said Agatha. angrily. letting: her hand

- said Arbuthnot, triumphantly.

Agatha was fast 't'ruinpling into hallsfi
“but I’ve nearly finished my book, and‘
these sheets of paper are rather valu-
ablt'.” _ '

Agatha threw
ble.

“And this book is to make you fa- '
mous?” she asked. with bitter con-
tempt. “I suppose, when it’s pub
lished, every one will come in and

the balls onto the ta-

 

énvy me because I am the wife of th;
genius, George Arbuthno .” ‘

Her scomful emphasis only brought»

a smile to Arbuthnot’s face.

“I don’t know about that,” he said,

good temperedly, “but it’s the best
work I’ve done yet. And if it’ssuc—
cessful, Agar-haul shall be able to buy
you that diamond bangle you coveted
the other day.”

But even the reference to the dia-
mond bangle failed to move Agatha.

“How long will it take you to finish ‘

it?” she, asked, slowly, looking down
at the untidy desk.

“I hope to finish it by next week,"
"I‘ve
allowed Lorrimer. The \V-eekly Review
man, to see some parts of it, and he‘s
expressed a very favorable ' opinion
and. Brink’s it’s bound to be a suc-
cess.” ,

Agatha’s eyes narrowed at the cor-
ners.

"Lo-rrimer’s a fool,” she said. angri-
ly.

It was one cold afternoon, ten days
later, that Arbuthnot stood on his
doorstep in the act of inserting his
l-atchkey, smiling at some pleasing
reminiscences of his recent talk with
his publisher.

Suddenly a wild, terrified cry broke
from the heuse, followed by scream
aft-er scream, reiterated with such in.
tensity of anguish that Arbuthnoi
himself caught the infection of terror,
and fumbled with trembling hands at
the, latchkey.

At last he managed to open the
door and run into the hall. A fearful
sight «met his eye. From this study
door flew something—an .object envel:
oped in writhing flames, and from it
there came piercing, agonizing shrieks
As the draught from the open door
blew fiercely down‘the corridor the
flames leaped higher and higher round
their living' prey? until Arbuthnot
sickened gaze saw. "nothing but a bril-
liant ball of fire.

God! It was Agatha! Mad with tor-
ture, the flaming figure dashed toward
him and threw out its arms in agony.
Arbuthnot caught it in a tight em-
brace, and with all his strength hurled
himself and the shrieking figure onto
the carpeted floor and rolled over and
over until at last the flames were
beaten out and he knew the tire was
conquered.

Three hours later the dOctor came
softly down stairs. He had used all
his skill to bring life back to the dis-
figured body that now lay motionless
on the bed. It was all in vain. Aga-
tha’s injuries were beyond all help,,
and she had lived only three hours af-

ter Arbnthnot had carried her up-
stairs.
Her husband had never left her

side, and, though badly burned about
the hands and face, had scarcely real-
ized his own injuries. As he looked at
that cruelly disfigured face, now
swathed and hidden in bandages, a
rush of tears blinded his eyes, and he
knew that all past differences were
swept away, and that Agatha would
live henceforth in his memory only
as the woman he had once loved with
all his heart. Before life flickered out
in that suffering body, Agatha opened
her eyes once and met her husband’s
gaze fixed with intense pity and love
upon her face. To Arbuthnot it
seemed that she pleaded dumbly for
forgiveness. but even as he looked the
lids closed again,.and in a few mo-
ments A'gatha’s spirit had slipped into
the great silence. . . .

When all was over, Arbuthnol
stooped and kissed the cold, pale lips.

Later in the evening he went down
stairs to his study. -As he entered the
room a shudder ran through his body:
'he remembered the figure of flame
that had leaped into his arms but a
few hours ago, and his heart was torn
at the llumght of Agatha’s sufferings.

As yet it was a mystery how she
had caught fire. Presumably she had
been warming; hers-elf in his study,

and ”her thin grenadine dinner dress Q

bad swept too near the flames. A few
dull red. embers still glowed in the
grate. Arbuthnot lit the lamp and sat
down mechanically to his desk.

"Thank. God for work!” he said,
with a deep sigh. “At least I can for-
get for a. time—‘5

He opened the deep drawer wherein
his pile of manuscripthad lain ready
for the printer’s hand. One or two
omissions could easily be rectified
now, and the work would soothe his
weary heart and brain; Bututhe
drawer stood empty. Hastdy he
pulled out its counterpart. 1'0; that,
too, held nothing. With feverish hands
he rumaged ehcb pigeon hole, turned
everything out. of his bureau. sought
on the chairs, the tables. The manu-
script had disappeared!

A fearful thought darted into his
brain. He ran to the fireplace—his
eyes fell on some charred ashes in the
tendon—Black and White.

 

An Honest King.

Whoever reads the following must
own to a feeling of respect for the
honest King. King Frederick VI. of
Denmark. while traveling through Jut-
land, one day entered a village school

and found the children lively and in-'
, telligent and quite ready to answerihis

questions.

“Well, youngsters,”he said, “what
are the names of the greatest kings of
Denmark?” _ .

With one accord they cried outL:Ca-
nute the Great, Waldemar and Chris-
tian IV.” .

Just then a little girl, to whom the
schoolmaster had whispered some-
thing, stood up and raised her hand.

“Do you know another?” .asked the
king.

“Yes, Frederick VI.”

“What great act did he perform?”

The girl hung her head and stam-~
, mered out. “I don’t know.”

“Be comforted, my child,” said the
king. “1 don’t know, either.”—Tit‘-

The earliest istrike occurred about

 

/' THE WEAKNESS OF CHINA.

centuries ago. Pharaoh was building zthe, Japanese retreated. No fleet has

a new temple of Thebes. The masons
received very little cash, but a quan-
tity of provisions, which the contractor
thought-sufficient, was handed to them
on the first day of each month. Suffi-
cient or not, they mostly ate it before
the time had elapsed. On one occas-
ion many of them had nothing left
quite early‘ in the month, so they
marched to the contractor’s house, be-
fore which thcy squatted and refused
to bulge until justice was done. The
. contractor persuaded them to lay their
ldistress before Pharaoh, who was
about to visit the works, and he gave
them a handsome supply of corn, and
so all went on well for that month.
But the same state of things recurred
by the middle of the next, and for
some days the men struck work. Vari-
ous conferences took place, but the
men declined to do a stroke until they
were given another supply of food.
They declared the clerks cheated them,
used false weights, and so forth, famil-
iar enough complaints in this country
under the truck system. The con
tractor not complying with their de-
mands they marched to the gogernor
of the city to lay their grievances be-
fore him, and he tried to get them to
return to work by smooth words, but
that was no use, and they insisted on
having food. At last, to get rid of
them, he drew up an order for corn
on the public granary, and the strike
was at an end—St. Louis Republican.

GEN. JOE WHEELER.

A Georgia Friend Tells How He Once Un-
)nasked a Battery.

At the battle of New Hope Church,
between Atlanta and Chickamauga,
Gen. Walker sent Major William H.
Ross, who was on his staff, to ascer-
tain from Gen. W'heeler, who occupied
an advance position, what was in his
front.

with one leg over the pommel of the
saddle. Savlut-ing him, Major _Ross
said:

“Gen. \I’alker intends to make a.
charge at this point, and would like to
know if the enemy has a masked bat-
tery in front of us.”

“I don‘tknow, Major,” Gen. Wheeler
replied. “but I can soon find out,” and
swinging into position in his saddle,
he galloped up to a slight eminence,
accompanied by Major Ross and his
staff, and planted a guidon. A mo-
ment later a puff of smoke in the dis-
tance and the sputtering shriek of a
shell as it flew over them, showed what
was ahead.

Turning to Major Ross, the General
said: “Give Gen. \Valker my compli-
ments, and say there is a masked bat-
tery in front of us.”

Major Ross ventured the remark
that it was a rather risky way of un-
masking a battery.

“The first shots always fly 'high,"
was the coo-l reply. “It’s the shots
that follow that are dangerous."

“When I returned and reported to
Gen Walker,” said the Major, “1 re-
quested him “to send some one else the
next time he wished batteries un-
masked by Gen. Wheeler.”——Macon
(Gm) Telegraph.

 

Margaret Fuller’s Good Shot.

Mrs. Horace Greeley had a strong
antipathy to kid gloves, and never
wore them on any occasion. One day,
it is said, she met Margaret Fuller on
the street, and instead of greeting her
with any usual salutation, she touched
Margaret’s hand with a-s-hudder. ex-
claiming: “Skin of a beast! Skin of a
beast!” - .

“ 7hy, what do you mean?” asked
Margaret, in surprise. “What do you
wear?”

“Silk,” returned Mrs. Greeley, “silk

always.”

Margaret touched her hand and
shuddercd, saying, “Entrails of a
worm! Entrails of a worm!”—Ex-

ch an ge.

WlT AND HUMOR.

Mr. Housekecp: “Did yo] ask the
new girl why she left her last place?”

Mrs. Housekeep (in amazement):
“\Vhy certainly not. I never look :1
gift horse in the mouth. if she hadn‘t
left. her last place she wouldn’t be
here.”

”To think,” said the visitor, “that
you willhave to go through life an
ex-convict.”

“’Well, miss,” replied Crowbar
Claude. “to tell you the truth. just at
present there ain’t. nothing I’d like
more to_ be.”—\Vashington Star.

“Bobby.” cried 'l‘adley to his young
hopeful, angrily. “my father used to
whip me when I behaved as badly as
you are doing.”

“Well,” answered Bobby thoughtful-
ly, “I hope I’ll never have to tell my
little boy that.”-Truth.

 

“They say now that love is control-
led by vibration." .

“That’s so. I trembled when I pro-
posed, tremblcd when I asked her
father for her. trembled at the altar,
and she has kept me trembling in my
boots ever since.”—etroit Free Press.

rebellion in any province. , The Em-

is apparently absent. The Emperor
weeps silently as he signs disgraceful
treaties, but he signs them. His coun-
sellors rage as each demand is pre-
sented, but they advise acceptance.
His army flits from port to port at the
bidding of each foreign invader, ap-
parently without an idea of firing a
shot. His people, 300,000,000 of peas-
ants and artisans, who have held to-
gether for 3,000 years, who are indi-
vidu‘ally brave, industrious and effi-
cient, look on quietly, striking no
stroke, making no cry, deserting, yet
worshipping their imperial lord.
They are beyond measure proud,
but their pride does not stir them to
action. They hate the invaders as In-
dians hated Spaniards, but their hate
gives them no energy. They possess
resources even for war almost Without
limit, but they accept passively the
dictation of flhe owners of a few ships.
They do not even rise in magnificent
incohorence as the Peruvians did, and
try to crush the invaders by mere num‘
bers, but look on passively as if the
terrible scene going on, which makes
even the greedy invaders from the out—
side lament, were no business of
theirs. Nothing like it in history, says
Mr. Balfour; there is nothing like it
in fiction or in verse, for _no imagina-
tion, once stirred ‘to exert itself, could

A PLAINSPOKEN DRESSMAKER.

Her Blunt. Remarks Not Always Enjoyed
by the Patrons.

There is a certain dressmakcr in a
New England village who always
finds customers in spite of her lack of
tact.
one patron after another she does not
lose them. Her ruffles are too even,
and her biases too far above reproach.
Here is a specimen of her conversation
while she “fits” a customer.

“I guess I’ll cut this a little mite
lower. You’ve got a real pretty neck.”
Then, when the customer unconscious-
ly bridles with satisfaction, she adds,
“It’s your one good point.” She goes
on Shipping and pinning. “There!”
she exclaims, standing off to view the
effect, “That’s what I call a lovely
back, Your’s is a little bowin’, but I
make allowances when I cut!” The
customer begins to feel herself a mon-
strosity, but her innocent tormentor
continues, “Why, I'never saw that
dimple in your wrist! How nice that
is!” Hope revives, but only to sink
again. “But I" guess I won’t. make the
sleeves any shorter for that. You see
your hands are pretty good size, and
a fall of lace would help to cover ’em."
So the ordeal continues, and the cus
tomer feels that she has reached the
lowest notch of humility. Only as
she is leaving does she pluck up cour-
age to ask,—— .

“What do you think of red velvet
for my new evening dress?”

“Lovely! Only I’d get a dark velvet
for a lady your age!"

 

 

Anyone. Good Enough for :1 Bishop.

Bishop Lawrence. of Massachusetts,
tells a good story on himself and Pres-
ident Eliot. of Harvard. then Phil-
lips Brooks was elected Bishop a few
years ago, President Eliot. met Dr.
Lawrence, who was then dean of the
Episcopal Theological School, at Cam~
bridge, and said to him: “The Church
has 'made the greatest mistake of a
lifetime. Brooks was the pivot around
which we revolved in Boston: now you
have spread him all over the State.
Any one would have done forBisliop.”
Years after, when Phillips Brooks had
gone to his reward. and Dean Law-
rence had been chasm in his place, he
met President Eliot in the street again.
The latter was warm in his congratu-
lations. “My dear Bishop,” he said.
“I must congratulate you. The Church
couldn’t have made a better selection.
i thought you should have been the
choice when Brooks was chosen.”-
