MRS. KELSEY, Prop.
[Original.]
She was h girl of great depth of feel
V.J7 nc::4u of duty was of the
highest. So tent wltblii hoi s.*lf was
she that hei tr lends never gut very
?our Iior. Ai.i... g 1..011 the feather
\vol<rh?* ? I mean mentally -let her
nil 1 ici ? ho! v. the heavyweights
be iinse she was not of easy approach.
: lie was r.veny-lhc l>efon' sho re
celved a nIukIc OiTor of marriage: then
it came from n practical, common
<ense man of business. He was t?-n?|K>
t-ai :iy thrown Into Intimate association
with her and uiscenied a great deal In
her. When he proposed she took time
before giving him his answer, then
cave It In this wise:
"Some years ago I received a letter
from a man who was dying. He told
me that he had loved me without being
uiowd by me. Being afflicted by a lln
coring disease, he had never sought
me with a view to declaring his love.
Since It gave a dying man comfort to
tell mo of hi? devotion, he hoped 1
would not blame hlni for doing so. He
carefully concealed 1.1s Identity, and 1
have never discovered It.
"I have since been unable to shake
off a sense of being appropriated. I
know this Is unwise, but 1 can't help
It. I have analyzed my feelings for
you and cannot tell whether or no 1
should marry you. I am. however,
Killing to throw the responsibility on
yi u and lieoome your wife If you say
the word."
Hi told her that he fanclcd marriage
to be practical sentiment. Her feeling
for the dead was sentimental senti
ment. The first pertained to the high
est of all human Institutions, the fam
ily; the latter was simply a canker
worm feeding 011 emotion. He would
have her marry hint, trusting to the
great unbreakable bond, family affec
tion. to absorb all other sensations.
They were married. The wife for a
time appeared to lie contented and
happy, but after nwlille showed that
she was brooding. Her husband no
ticed.the change, but did not refer to
It. He knew that her "sentiment" was
with her and that It could not be driv
en away by open Interference. He did
not consider his wife responsible for
its presence. He knew that It came
from some mental condition the nature
of which he could understand, though
he had not experienced It. lie conclud
ed to wait for it to disappear. Doubt
less the 11 r- 1 child would drive It away,
as the sun will dissipate a cloud.
Ilut children did not come. There
was still this Intangible, psychological
freak lietwcen the two to keep them In
a measure apart. It was never re
ferred to by either, but both knew of
Its existence. It was endured by lioth.
for the wife felt that It was wronging
her husband, and the husband felt that
it was sapping the happiness of his
wife as well rts his own.
One day while search lug In a desk of
his wife for a paper he came upon
the note that had lieen written her
from her dying lover. Its finding
brought about a singular act. Taking
note of the handwriting, he wrote a
letter I11 the same chlrography to his
wife purporting to come from the man
who had written the original. It stated
that he had unexpectedly recovered
and had since prospered: that he knew ,
she was married, but In spirit she be
longed to him. l>ld she reciprocate this
feeling? If so. let I: r i!efy tne world
find he would come to her.
When the wife opened this forged
letter one morning nt the breakfast
{able, the huslmnd saw her turn pale.
That evening when he came hack
froui business I s wife said to him
that something had happened. She had
debated with herself whether she
should tell him or not and had decided
that It was better that she should not.
He replied that he had full confidence
In her judgment and this wn? all he
said aboi" the matter.
After this the wife showed plainly
that she was under the Influence of
Home |H>werful emotion. Her husband
meanwhile wrote her another forged
letter from the same correspondent.
She was Informed that her lover could
no longer endure the strain of separa
tion. He must sec her. He begged
her to send her husband away for a
certain evening, during which he
would call and they would concoct
a modus vlvendl. He asked for this
one Interview only, after which, If she
so wished, he would never see her
again. Simultaneously with his send
ing this letter the husband informed
his wife that he must be away on busi
ness on the evening he had appointed.
Ills wife clutched her fingers spasmod
ically, which he pretended not to see,
and left her.
At 5 o'clock on the evening ho went
home and was packing a valise pre
paratory to his departure when his
wife came to him trembling and,
throwlug her arms about him, begged
blm to take hor with him.
He had accomplished an object, but
he did not yet feel sure that It was ac
complished for all time. He told her
that It would be Inconvenient for him
to take her, but she l>cgged so hard
that he consented. They dined togeth
er and after dinner took n train.
The husband kept ills own counsel.
The wife during the Journey one even- (
Ing announced that she desired his as
sistance on a matter that was dis
tressing her. Then she confessed to
the letters she had received from her
supposed to be dead lover and asked !
him to devise some plan to get rid of
him without hurting his feelings. The
husband took her In his arms and con
fessed that he hnd written the letters.
From that time there was no
ihadowv lover between the two, and
Soon after children came on to
itrengthen the union between husband
ind wife.

CIGArtETTGS AND TEA.
A Part of the Routine of Every Ru?>i??
Dusineti House.
\"You forget." I observed, "that Rut
cla Is tbe orlslnal home and habitat of
tbe cigarette,' says tbe Odessa corre
spondent of tbe London Standard
"Tbe little paper tube of tobacco was,
so to sn.v, a national institution among
the Russians, gentle and simple, long
before It was seen between the lips of
the Englishman an.l Frenchman."
My friend, u* British merchant, on
bis tlrst visit to Russia, was Ih-Iiir In
troduced to n local banking house. As
the cashier momentarily 4ald aside his
cigarette In a convenient ash tray to
attend to us inv visitor looked nmaacd
ly around tiie spacious room, where
here aud there among the stall of s-ix
ty clerks lie saw the curling blue
smoke of many cigarettes. The cash
ier proffered his cigarette case.
"Well, do you know," said my
friend, "It is not by any means our
notion of bUKlucsx, nnd yet somehow
It looks homely and agreeable, nnd
none of these fellows appears to be
lar-tug or shirking."
Then came a further surprise for
uiy companion. A neatly dressed
waitress emerging from some lower
region was passing IxsMnd the chief
counter bearing a large tray on which
were some ten or twelve glasses of
tea, with the usual small dish of
sliced lemon and silver fork Tbe tea
was llrst distributed to tbe scnloi
clerks In tbe various departments, and
the wnltrvR* returned for further sup
piles for tbe rest of the staff.
"Also a Russian Institution?" smil
ingly queried the l.ondoii merchant.
"Exnctly." I replied, "nnd the tea Is
of the tinest quality."
From the lwnk we drove to the
postotllce and telegraph station. In
these places It Is forbidden to the pul*
lie to smoke, but Itehlud the counters
Ir. every department the cigarette and
lea were Just as much In evidence as
they were at the bank. The tea Is al
ways supplied by the establishment,
whatever It may be. The cigarettes
the officials and clerks find them
selves.
Some tipigram*.
Tom IToo.l cast epigrams at himself
in the face of death. His wife was
preparing a larp> mustard plaster to
apply to his shruuken chest. "My
dear," said 1! ? >.!. "that's a terrible lot
of mustard for a small piece of l>oof."
Sir Walter Raleigh expressed him
self in a similar mo< l after lie mount
ed the scaffold. Feeling the edge of
the ax. be said to tbe executioner.
"This Is a sharp medicine, but It is a
cure for all diseases."
An Italian nobleman, probably l?e
gulled by patent medicine advertise
ments, left this inscription for his
grnvestone: "I was well, wanted to l?c
better, took physio and died."
Charles Knight suggested that "Good
Knight" would l>e sufficient for his
memorial tablet.
A brother Scot who did not sympa
thize with his peccadillos in life; when
asked to suggest an appropriate epi
taph for Scotland's national poet, said.
