JACK omen-"s reluunn.
l.
Jack Dayton was 24 years of ago He
was handsome. as that. term applies to
man. he was studious in an extraordinary
sense. he was as sober as a cold water ad-
vocate. he was a lawyer. and he was as
poor as a church mouse and pmuder than
Lucifer before he was exiled from heaven.
Jack Dayton was as brave as u Bengal
tiger. and Ills pdverty never seemed a
burden and u reproach to him before he
met Gussie' Vaudoru After that mo-
mentous meeting at Snratoga he felt that
he could hang himself because he had not
been born with a silver spoon in his
mouth
The fact of the matter is Jack Dayton
was in love from the soles of his feet to
the crown of his intellectual head, and
because lil' was poor his pride stood be-
tween him and the rich woman who had
stolen his heart In an unguarded moment.
He had been practically rained in a law
yer's office lie had entered it. at the age
of 12 as general utility boy and he had
left it at the age of ‘3'.’ a finished lawyer,
with a few hundred dollars saved up dur
lug the long years
"(in muncwlrerc luck." said the fond
mother and stay all the summer You
new: had a vacation in all your life, and
you should celebrate your admission to
the bar by taking one
hard student. you have been a loving and
devoted soil Go tame a vacation."-
Juuk kissed her and took himself off to
Saratoga tin- worst place on earth, except
Newpurt for a poor man to go But Jack
was lwlii upon celebrating his admission
in grand style and within the limits of
$300 So he went to Saraiogn and took a
modest room at one of the best hotels and
started in; for solid enjoyment and profit-
able reviow of his law books
But the Vaudorns' were at Saratoga,
too. and at the same hotel with Jack He .

“talking literature" some would say
When: Jack's $300 began to get. down to
a fine point he set about returning to New
York instead of taking him through the
summer it had just taken six weeks of
Saratoga in a very quiet way to eat the
life out of it. There is nothing like a
summer hotel for eating up money Jack
had to go. but he wanted to stay
While the two were out for a quiet
walk one afternoon about the middle of
August. Jack said.
"Miss Vaudom. I go to New York to-
morrow My vacation is start end."
Miss Vandorn was as silent as a tomb-
stone Jack was surprised thereby and
cast a hasty glance into her face. He was
startled. He could not mistake the sun
prised and bewildemd expression on her
countenance his abrupt declaration had
provoked His heart gave a great leap
and then stood still.
' "if i say [go with regret it isbecause
you have made my stay so ’very pleasant,"
be managed to say.
"Must you go?" asked Gussie.
”i must go i am but a poor young
lawyer. with a loving mother to support.

"What seems like a dream?”
"The few weeksl have been here and
privileged to' have so much of your so

"i shall bepleased to see you at our
home iu'New York._ Mr. Dayton."
"Miss Vandal-n." said he. soiemrdy, “we

friends "
“l shouldn‘t mind your poverty. Mr
Dayton. jworth makes the manaud want

"Yes; but the world does not look at it
that way; neither do I, I have got to
struggle for a place to stand. Some day
We may meet again. I pray that we may.
And it will seem a long time before that
day comes " '
They parted.
When she reached her room. where the
luxuries which wealth alone commands
were scattered everywhere, she sank into
on easy chair and there was a sweet smile
upon her lips.
"He will return to me," she murmured
to herself. "and i shall wait until he
does ”
II.
All this passed through Jack Dayton‘s
mind two years after it had occurred. He
had had a hard struggle With all his
brilliant talents he had a time of it to
make ends meet He was brave and hope-
ful. and be nurtured these by thinking of
the brilliant Woman be ad not met since
he parted with her at Saratoga. He heard
of her often. but he purposely avoided
meeting her
“What 3 the use?" he would ask him-

"Well. yes.“ said Jack; "I knew you

tute action to recover your rightful share
of his money." . '
“But he is now dead, Jack.”
"Doadl" .
"Yes: he died in Paris a month ago.”
When Jack entered his ofico the next
morning his head was full of the news his
mother had told him and projects to look
into his father's affairs to protect his own
and 1.1.18 mother’s interests He had hardly
get settled down to work before a spruce
young man in a footman‘s livery presented
himself and handed him a sealed letter.
He read the letter with mingled emotions.
He put on his coat and hat and followed
the servant to the pavement and entered
the magnificent carriage in waiting. The
“N389 stopped befcwenrich house in one
of the fuihlomble up town streets, and

which two physicians and one or two
servants were congregated Everybody

extended to him, and be grasped it.

Jack sank down by the side of the bed
thoroughly unnerved. He was a strong
man. but in this hour, when the past was
to be stoned for and death hovered about
the grandfather who had wronged him,
but whom he had never seen before, he
was weak as a child.

Ill.
Three months after the mortal remains
of James Dayton had been consigned to the
earth from which they came Jack Dayton
presented himself at the Fifth avenue
residence of Gussio Vandorn. His head
was in a_ fearful stats of agitation.
After a short time, which seemed an age
to him, the' young woman entered the par-
lor He cross to his feet and advanced to
meet her. ‘
“Miss Vandoru, will you pardon the
liberty I take in calling upon you "
"Mr. Dayton, you have been free tocall
upon me. by invitation, for the past two
years. "
"But I thought you may have forgot
ten."
“I have not forgotten."
Jack gazed into her eyes a moment with
all the earnestness of tbs days since they
had parted. Her eyes dropped beneath
his. and her face was sufiuned with
blushes. She had not forgotten. He said
with simple eloquence: V e
“I have not forgotten. I never could
forget. Your face has been with me; I
have heard your voice ever since we
parted two years ago. I have come here
,to-night to tell you that life is no longer
endurnblo if you don't share it with me.
I have waited two years to tell you this."
"You need not have waited two years.
Mr. Dayton." she said, with a roguish
smile. .
And Jack's fortune was not in the
money his grandfather left him, but in
the love of the woman that money had so
cured to him—Chicago Mail.
nus-Inn Convicts and Their Chains.
While a number of convicts, were on.
gaged In guums of hazard in though-idem
most of those in the rooms were absorbed-
ln another occupation Heavy ,rn'etgllic
strokes rang through the prison. thoifall- ;
ing of chains upon the floor conid‘b‘e heard
from time to time, but the noise disturbed
nobody. neither those who were fast
asleep in the some rooms nor the com-
manding ofBCer or the soldiers who slept
in the same building The' convicts
worked on the solution of one problem.
namely. on making the chain rings em
bracing their legs so extended as to be in
a. position to take them of! or push them
‘ on over the ankles and the foot heels at
any time. Thus the chains could be car-
ried on the soldier Or around the waist,
instead of around the legs. and walking
was much easier.
Of course, the soldiers and their con:- '
munder know well 'whnt the metallic
sounds meant, but they did not care to in-
terfere. Some of the escort oflcers were
good natured men, and paid no attention
to these "little transgressions" of the
law; others were strict and rigid, not
tolerating any such liberties on the part
of the convicts, and as the latter hada
marvelous ability for “sizing up” their
commanders, they marched one day with
the chains around their legs and another
with the chains around their waists.
Many of the cbnvicts managed to throw
off the chains even from their arms.
These being very short, give such a post-
ure to the wearer as to render his ten or
twelve hours’ march extremely difficult
The contact of the iron of the chains,
moreover, occasions, in the bones during
the intense Siberian héats or frosts, an
insupportable rheumatic pain, which after
several weeks of walking becomes a real
torture.—-Miciiael Malkofi in Chicago
News.
A Novel Test in Tasting.
A novel bet was won and lost in s. Vine
street resort the other evening. A pMy
of gentlemen were indulging in a social
glass, and finally the, conversation turned
upon the quality of liquors and the ability
of certain persons to judge them by the
sense of smell and taste. One man in the
party claimed that the best judges could
be fooled by the compounders. and, after
the' argument became quite warm, made
the astounding assertion that a large per-
they were drinking.
The debate grew hotter and hotter, and
finally the man who had advanced such
outrageous ideas offer-(ad to bet a bbsket
of wine that he could confound any one of
the party so that he could not tell water
from whisky. John Hummel, the circus
man. who has had .a varied experience in
the drinking line, accepted the wager, and
the preliminaries began. "John was first
heavily blindfolded. and than a number of ’-
ginSses, containing water, milk. whisky.
sherry, claret, Rhine wine and gin were
set out on the bar. They were handed to
the blindfolded man one at a time, and he
was told to name the liquor after tasting
it. He got through the list bravely until
he came to the gin, which be called port
wine. Then the man started him back.
but it was soon very evident that Hum
mel's palate had lost its power. He called
milk water, and finally was forced to ad-
mit that all the liquors tasted alike, and
that he had lost his bat. It was some
time before he was able to enjoy the wine
he had lost—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Excessive Eating In Goth-II.
From the 151; of December to the last of
April. dinners are in order, and many
fashionable folk scarcely dine at home
once a month unless they play host under
their own roof. How they manage their
digestion I know not, for a season’s elabo-
rate dinners are enough to disturb the in-
terior of an ostrich. I am aware that
cooking of the Carotne kind claims to in-
sure eupcpsy; but, while this may be
true in theory, it is not in practice. Scores
of men die here annually from excessive
dining out, and I am acquainted with

Historical“ Items. of Interest. .
Sunday schools were founded about the
close of the year 1781 by Robert Raikes, a
printer in Gloucester-shire. Business lead-
ing him into the suburbs of the town
inhabited by the lowest class of people,.hc
was surprised by' seeing multitudes of
miserably ragged children, who made the
Sabbath day a carnival of noise and riot,
in which cursing and swearing had a large
part.
To check this profanation of the Lord's
day he engaged four women, teachers of
week day schools. to Instruct such chil-
dren as he should send thorn On the Sunday
in wading and the church catechismfor
which they were to receive one shilling
each ~ ' '
A visible improvement being shooter! in
a short time. both in the manners and
morals of the children, Mr. Baikes‘ scheme
attracted general attention. Her majesty
Queen Charlotte admitted him to an audi-
ence. and expressed high approbation of
his plan Numerous schools formed on
the same model sprang up in the principal
towns, and a society. under high patron-
age, was formed in London in 1785 for the
establishment and support of Sunday
schools throughout the kingdom This
was the first stage of the Sunday school.
crwrur'rous INSTRUCTION.
A great impediment to prosperity was
the expense of hiring the teachers. It is
gratuitous instruction, but this in time
came about. and the result was that by the
tion .
in 1803 the: Sunday School union was
formed, which. by its 'numerous‘ publicné
fions. agents and branch societies in the
different parts of the kingdom, exercised
a wide influence The institute of the
Church of England, which operated in a
like manner, is of a similar data. -
Scotland boasts of Sunday schools as
early as 1782 But it was not till 1786.
when the,.Soclety for Promoting Religi-
ous Knowledge among the Poor was
formed. that they were publicly recog-
nized. uor until 1797. when the first Free
Sunday School society was organized,
that free Sunday schools became general
At first these met with considerable op-
position from portions of the ecclesiasti.

Sunday school unions existed in most of
the large towns
Sunday schools In irelund had been in a
measure anticipated in County Down in
1770. but the system pursued by Mr.
Raikcs was not adopted till about 1785.
since which date its system has been
similar to that of England.
in lreland the Sunday School society
was established in 1809.

The First Day or Sunday School society,
formed in Philadelphia in 1791, is the first
permanent Sunday school organization in
the United States of which there is trust~

of different denominations. including the
Society of Friends its constitution re-
quired that. reading and writing from the
Bible and such other religious and moral
books as the society approved should for

York Sunday School union was organizedin

‘ societies recognized the unionof different
denomindtlons. and led to tbsorgahlz'ation
of the American Sunday School union 'ut
Philadelphia in 1824. The object of this
union was to concentrate the efforts of
Sunday school societies in difiereut sec-
tions of the United States. and to start
schools wherever there were children
It naturally came about that as new

Somethings which have been printed

Mr. Hunter says that he immediately

that afternoon to Harper’s Ferry.
"Not one of them was buried here," he
added. "I shipped the bodies north to

body back with them.
“There was one thing in connection
with the execution of Brown I have always _

this: As he ascended the gallows he
bowed to me very politely. i was looking

but was told of it afterward. If I had
seen him I should certainly have returned
the bow.”

While these things are being done the

with big cloaks draped about their scant-
ily clad forms, and their mother close be-
hind them. When' the signal is given
that all is ready, the mother draws 08
their cloaks Then the two girls embrace
and kiss each other’s hands. After that
they dart out on the stage, and a moment
later they are up in the air risking their
necks if that little bit of sentimental
business wage done in public, it would be
understood as a tawdry conceit for efiect,
like many other things In which gym-
nasts and sci-chats indulge, with aview
to impressing the spectators. But it
is not, The embracing and kissing
are all done "in the wings," where
it is only by accident that a person near
the footlights in the parquet on the oppo-
site side of the stage may perchance see
it The general disposition to ascribe to
superstition of some sort the motive im-
pelling people to do somewhat unusual
things naturally suggests that as a reason
for the Vaidi girls'- demonstration. But
upon inquiry it is' learned that this is
prompted by simple _afiectiou. nothing
more Each knows that it is well within
the range of possibilities that the slipping
of her hand. the failure by a hair’s breadth
of the other‘s grasp or a break of the ap-
paratus may cause her sister‘s plunge to
death. or that that fate may be her own,
' within the next few minutes With that
feeling in mind. the hand clasps. embraces
and kisses between the girls are simply a
tenderer demonstration of. the impulse
that prompts comrades. when going into
battle. to shake builds silently it may
be for the last time. and they know it.
There Is little superstition among the
limb and life venturing classes of public
performers. far less than exists among
people in the histriOnic profession
Whether it is that the vigorous life of the
former develops a. more healthful and con-
sequently sounder philosophy, on" that
their training has drilled them into a
higher confidence in themselves and up
promotion of the possibilities of human
control over what weaker natures deem
fate and luck. need not be discussed here.
The fact is enough for present, considera-
tion Of course there are exceptions ’to
this. as to every other rule, but even
when they do occur they are not violent,
and generally have some pretty fair rea-
son back of the seeming superstition al-
leged Mattie Jackson, for instance, will
not ride in the circus ring on Good Fri-
day. She nvows a fear that some acci-
dent will happen to her if she does, asone
did once upon a time when she broke the
rule. or perhaps before she made it. But
the fact is that she has a. vague idea that
it isn't right. And several other well
known riders have the some notion.
A DANGER DBEADED.
it indeed appears that the dread of hav-
ing a superstition is more rife among
circus people than any superstition is, for
the excellent reason that they know a
danger dreaded is more than half invited
A man whose nerves are to the slightest
degree unstrung by expectancy of accident
is likely to realize his expectation when
attempting some foot that demands all the
strength, skill, coolness and nerve that he
possesses. Very oftena rider’s perform-
ance is made timid and measurably in-
efiective simply by a groom’s réport to
him that his horse "does not seem to be
feeling all right." There is no superstition
about that. but aconsciousness that if the
horse is not "all right" and up to good re-
membrance and observance of his trami‘ ng,
the breaking of his rider’s leg, or perhaps
his neck, may be the consequence.
it may hardly be fair to classify as
superstitious the‘ practice of carrying po-
tatoes or horse chestnuts in the pockets
as fetiches against rheumatism. If it is
so. then there is a good deal of that sort
of superstition among show folk, but they
vehemently affirm that it is prompted by
knowledge of the proved medicinal virtues
of these articles. ‘
Japanese show people have superstition
enough for not only their own share, but
for sll the others Each of their troupes
of jugglers and scrobats includes in its
membership one grave. earnest, bald
headed old heathen supposably accus-
tomed to tussling with devils who would
fain obstruct the work of the performers
or bring them to grief. It is his business,
before each important fest involving per
sonal peril, to go about the stage scatter
ing salt and volubly exploding prayers In
his firecrackery lingo, to drive the demons
away ' in addition to his potent official
efforts for the discouragement of the
bin. \‘Olne sort of an amulet. and the fans
