KNOLLYS1 STORY.
Those who know my friend Knollys only
oeseally are apt to sot him down as cynic,
because at tunes he is a man of saturnine
humor, given to ridiculing bravery and
oherity as madness; but I know clanger
8,
holds no dread for him, nd have acci-
dentally happened on some of his many
good deede. me he has always seemed a
man, of unusually lonfeut judgment, putting
the best construction possible on the evil
actions of his fellows '. though his own life
is beautifully clean he takes people as he
find e them, not feeling called upon to at-
' tempt to revolutionize the world.
If I am unreasonably proud of my friend-
ship with Kuollys it is pardonable, for he is
an experienced man of the world, who must
be nearing 50, whereas I am not yet SO.
It had been Arranged, during his short
stay with us in New York, that in two
months I should join him in London ; and
the prospect of another delightful elm
through Europe with him made me some-
what forgetful of the fact that it was his
last night in this city.
He had rashly promised my cousin to
visit his rose gardens, and on that afternoon
redeemed his word. When we met at the
club I noticed that Knollya appeared tired.
He stood at the window, apart from the
other men, looking across at the plaza, and
did not at first notice me.
I suppose it was irksome," I began,
"for Tom oan talk of nothing but his Poses
and his wife. You see they are renewing
their honeymoon. Their atfairs looked very
bleak for a time, but suddenly righted them-
selves, and their friends one suffering the
• conseqttences."
Knollys ceased to watch the wavering
shadows of the trees, and turned inquir-
ingly.
" It was a misunderstanding," I con-
tinued, as we walked out to dinner. "Tom
forget the appearances are often mislead-
ing, and she was unable to furnish a amble -
factory explanation of her conduct."
"1 conjectured something of the kind
from what he told me coming back to the
city, and it reminded me strongly of a little
episode iu the life of a friend of mine. And
she, too in some indefinable way-ame
turn of the head or trick of the voice -re -
coaled my friend's wife. The story might
interest you."
"1 am quite sure it would," I returned
eagerly, for Knollys is always well worth
hearing.
'It all happened some years ago' but I
think I remember the points quitewell,"
he commenced, smiling faintly; "I am not
so certain, however, that I shall be able to
do the story justice, for I am not a clever
raconteur, and you will probably surmise
the end long ere I have reached it. My
friend -we might call him Smith -my friend
Smith was able to be of some service to a
man whom he met in a foreign land. The
man met with a fatal accident a few days
later, and, together with the valet, Smith
volunteered to nurse him. The stranger,
feeling he had a claim on Smith because of
the first favor, burdened him with the plea-
sant task of bearing the news of his death
to his wife.
" Upon Smith's return to England, he
carried out his mission and, having gone
once, went again. She was a very young
woman, and very beautiful, and Smith was
irresistibly attached. Her husband had
been a scoundrel, and, after a decent lapse
of time, she married Smith. For the firat
four yeara of their marriage they were so
intensely happy that it is possible they
proved rather tiresome to their friends.
About that time Smith began to miss money
'
and other articles of value and was finally
able to trace the thefts to the butler. The
man vainly denied the charge, and, although
none of the missing valuables were found in
his possession, he was discharged without a
character. This mild measure was adopted
because of the intercessions of my friend's
wife.
"For some weeks Smith entertained no
doubt that he had fastened the 'burglaries
on the proper party, but on returning home
one evening he found his wife in the library.
She had opened his desk by means of a fah°
key, and in her hands held a roll of notes.
Guilt was depicted in every feature; she
was abject in her cowardice."" She needed the money to save a
brother," I broke in, authoritatively.
"No, for she had no brother or any near
relative who might need help," Knollys
said, as he set down his glass. "The man,
anxious to find some excuse for her, sug-
gested this ; but it was for no relative. It
was for herself, yet she had wanted for
nothing that money could buy or love de-
vise. He might not have conceived her sin
to be so flagrant had she not permitted the
servant to suffer in her stead. So far as it
was possible Smith made restitution to the
man, but by her silence she had convicted
herself of the most heinous of all transgres-
sions in her husband's eyes. There was one
way only in which he could explain the
matter to himself. He had never believed
in kleptomania until then, but it was the
one thing upon which his mind was cen-
tered. . And she confessed she had often
felt impelled to take valuables for which
she auld have ao possible need.
"He was a proud man and be was tor-
tured by Ms discovery. He had regarded
his wile, his child and himself as being
made of finer ola3r than the rest of man-
kind. His disillusion was complete. The
day after she was unmasked she came into
a splendid inheritance, but Smith rigor-
ously refused to permit the expenditure of
any of it in the household. He dared not
leave her for an instant, thinking the desire
might come back to her. Ho sacrificed
his pride by telling the true state of affairs
to her maid, a trusted servant, and together
they kept vigilant guard over her. It was
the most insidious cruelty he could contrive
-one that must have wounded her sorely.
She was never permitted to lose sight of
her sins. Ile was inflexible in his course,
keeping her always under his relentless
eyes. 'My friend Smith thought himeelf in
those days quite capable of accusing and
jadging his prisoner and seeing that the
sentence was properly carried out. When
she seemed to forget for an instant her past
error Smith ever so gently turned the
thumb screws. Ah, he really' devieed modes
of exquisite torture that she should properly
expiate her crime.
No, she did not rebel ; she drearily
accepted the penaley of her ,naisstep. At
first she lived in deadly fear lest he shoeld
send her away from him ; but when the
found it was part of his plan to be with her
constantly, she seemed content. She could
not, rather would not, grow acoustomed to
the thought that sho had forfeited Smith's
love. During the first few days she
'
' hovered around him hoping to lure some
expression of pardon from him, some word
of love. Never forgetting that she bore his
name, he treated her with a cold civility
that was more frightful to her than would
have been an exhibition of brute force.
He was disciplining himself all the while
in repressing his feeling& for, as you have
What% suspected, he loved her as passion-
ately as ever.
"She devoted herself eicoluslvely to the
child, who had become a source of constant
agony to Smith. If he take, fruit oreweet-
Meet that had been forbidden him it beeeme
to Smith's fevered imagination evidence
that be bad inherited the mother's weak.

"The ohild slept in the mother's apaet-
mats, and Smith was about to retire one
night when his wife came in hurriedly, bid-
ding him send inunediately to their phyla,
clan, for the little one watt choking.. Smith
went back with her, and after seeing the
child left the room -the thought to send
for the family physician. Slie uried the
simple remedies that formerly proved (deo-
that, but without avail. She raised her
eyes to Smith in an agonizing appeal, but
he made no movement. ,Ab length he told
her that he lied not summoned a physician,
believing it better that the child shoulddie."
" What ? I cried, aghast, my loud tone
in marked °entreat to his low, nahurried
words.
"You ore not Wing," remarked
Knollys,as he reflectively regarded the bead
that had formed round the edge of his
glass. "You are astounded at my friend's
action, but he himself did not question the
wisdom of his course; perhaps it did not
occur to him that he could err. Better, he ,
thought, to muse himself one sharp pang
than untold misery to the bitter end, In
fact, he believed he was doing a very brave
deed -to consign your child to death is not;
such a simple matter as it may appear.
When the mother learned what he had done
ahe was wildly indignant foran instant,then
quietly placed the child in his crib and
• stoically watched his sufferings. And what
has seemed quite right and courageous in
himself struck Smith as monstrous in the
mother. You are neglecting your fillet. You
will find it—"
"But the mother?" I reminded.
"The mother V' echoed Knollys, wearily.
"You progress too rapidly. Smith was
able to dismiss from his mind the idea that
he had been instrumental in bringing about
the little fellow's death, for it would have
been impossible for the phyaioian to reach
the ,house before the .ohild expired. The
mother, however, did not reason with so
muck finesse, and after the death of her
chid failed visibly. In this instance phy-
sicians were called in, but what they might.
have been able to do for the child they
could not do for the mother. It is brue she
could not have found life very joyous, but
her doctors agreed they had never before
seen any one so determined to escape from
this world. There was ,no ilhiess-only a
growmg languidness, a gradual putting by
of the emalleet tasks and a want of will to
recover. If ever a woman died of a broken
heart it was my friend's wife."
"Did she give no explanation of her con-
duct1" I .demanded, leaning on the table
heavily.
Knollys was looking at something beyond
me, and did not hear me until I had re-
iterated my question.
"So you do not believe she was a klepto-
maniac? The explanation did not .come
from her but from another quarter," he
finally proceeded. "She was delirious for
nearly a week before her death. In her
lucid inoments she would ask the date,
then strive to recollect something that
elusively evaded her. She was continually
murmuring about some money that was to
be sent to some mie-whom, they could not
determine. Smith had been with her all
the day, and toward evening, feeling he
must be alone for a while te give vent to his
misery, went to the library. The morning's
mail was awaiting him. The topmost letter
was addressed to her in a man's unfamiliar
hand. He tore it open, filled with insane
jealousy.
"Ab, of course, you perceive from whom
it was. You are in the same position as
the novel reader, who, knowing both sides
of the story, is aware of the end long before
the hero and heroine have lived it out. Un-
fortunately, Smith kaew only his portion
• of the tale. The missive purported to come
from he first husband, whom Smith had
helped bury, but whom she believed to be
still alive, and cautioned her to forward
his monthly allowance at once, or he would
be under the painful necessity of declaring
himself to Smith without delay. It was a
pity he had not done ao long before, as
Smith would have recognized the scoun-
drelly butler. You see, he had for months
imposed on the wife and blackmailed her in
the belief that her worthless first husband
was still alive and demanded money. She
believed that if Snuth learned of his ex-
istence she would lose his love and him.
Does it not seem altogether impossible that
she should have been so credulous?
" So you see the mystery which Smith
had believed to ' be no mystery, was cleared
without her speaking, but a little too late,
for, while Smith was readingthe letter, she
passed away, leaving him in a maze of
maddening reflections. He has had a long
while to appreciate the bitt,er pathos of the
incident, and sometimes ponders on the
problem of whether she would have con-
fessed had he not suggested to her the ex -
cum of kleptomania. Knowing the sim-
plicity of her morals, he comprehends the
struggle there must have been while the
butler was suffering for her. I think Smith
would have pardoned her for taking the
money to buy the man, so that he should
not make himself known; even her own
silence, had he been conscious it was done
that she might not be separated from him.
Her love for Smith was the one passion of
her life, and she paid for it dearly."
"Poor woman," I murmured, tritely.
Knollys raised his head, his lips parted in
a shadowy smile. "Note how we differ. I
should say, Poor man.' She is in a place
of peace."
" I ani glad I am not acquainted with
your friend Smith," I observed, trying to
shake off the gloom of Knollys' story. "He
must be a very sombre companion. Do you
eo much of him ?"
"The world knows nothing of his Ms -
tory; he does not wear his heart on his
sleeve. It is only to me that he confesses
how dull he finds life. Yes, I see a great
deal of my friend Smith -a great deaf too
much. Let us drink to his early demise.
Believe me, it is what would please him
best"- The Argonaut.

Re goes to State Prison for the liongest
Term the Law Allow.
THE GIRL'S FATHER MAPES LYNCHING,
The biggesb sensation ever known in Ann
Arbor occurred after the verdict was
rendered at 8 o'clock to -night. Such was
the feeling that had the " Prince " been
acquitted he would have been lynched. An
enormous crowd assembled at the court
hem. The " Prince " was sneaked out
through the back and some suggested that
they gee Bechel, the unnatural father of the
girl. A search was rnade and it was learned
that Bechel and Lucifer Durand were hiding
in the eheriffs office. The crowd had in-
creased to 3,000, and soon the office was in
a state of siege. The door was locked, but
in an instant the glass was broken out, and
the mob. gazed upon two cowering forms.
The Flying Roll disciples begged for mercy)
but were answered by a fusilade of hooka
and ink bottles. Lucifer was mistaken for
Bechel, and was roughly handled before the
mistake was discovered.
Then Bechel was seized and cried, "Do
anything; out my hair off but do not kill
me." Some of the crowd shouted to lynch
him, and others to apply tar and feather&
"Cut his hair," yelled one, and this
sounded the key wee. Bechel was taken to
a barber shop, where the proprietor asked
him if he desired his hair out. He said he
did, and the flowing looks and whiskers
were soon on the floor. Bethel was then
escorted to the depot and told to keep out
of Ann Arbor. Durand was also sent out of
town. The police made no attempt to stop
the mob, which numbered 3,000, but pro:lo-
cutions are said to be likely to follow. The
only wonder is that the Israelites were not
lynched. Prince Michael will begin serving
his term Saturday, and to -night Bethel%
curls are selling at 50 cents a lock on the
streets of Ann Arbor,

roam HISSING IN BUFFALO.
When the Electric Light Goes Out Every
Fellow Helps Himself to a Girl.
New York Herald: Grim duty was
what made me stop off at Buffalo on the
way from the Minneapolis Convention'and
I devoted much of my time to an investiga-
tion of the trolley system of electric street
car transportation.
In Buffalo the cars are lighted by the
same electric current that propels them.
When the car " makes " a switch some-
thing happens to the current, and there is
total darkness in the car for little more
than half a minute and sometimes for two
minutes.
"Smack 1 Smack !" It is as if a herd of
cows were wibhdrawing their feet from
marshy ground all at the same tinie.
"Just so," said a Buffalonian, "that
explains the popularity of the trolley car.
When the light goes out every fellow im-
mediately begins kissing his girl. The con-
ductor and the driver haven't any one to
kias but they are instructed not to hurry
up to make the connection that sets the
lights a -burning again.
Now they talk of trolleys in New York,
but I am told this hugging and kissing busi-
ness wouldn't be very popular there because
the town's too cosmopolitan. Well, maybe,
but you don't know what you're missing.
"It's the unwritten law in Baffalo that
when the electric light goes out and you
haven't a girl with you, you grab thenearest
one available and kiss her. Sometimes two
fellows make for the same girl, and then
there is trouble. It's a pleasant little cus-
tom and tends to get people better am
cipainted. You'd better adopt it in New
York."

stead and La dy Somerset Snubbed by Forest
of Dean Electors.
A London cable E aye : Lady Henry
Somerset has aroused quite a sensation. by -
writing to Mr. Wemyss, Sir Charles Dilke'a
Tory opponent for Parliament in the Forest
of Dean constituency, offering to go on thc.
stump in Mr. Wemyss' interest for the sake
of denouncing Sir Charles on moral grounds.
She states that Mr. Stead, the editor, who
has carried on so many crusades of a sensa-
tional nature against immorality, would
assist her. Mr. Wemyss indignantly re-
fused the offer, declaring that he meant to.
fight fair and win on political issma or not
at all. The miners of the Forest of Dean
division, who are devoted to Sir Charles.
Dilke, have heard of the offer and are highly
incensed about it. They threaten to duck
Lady Somerset and tar and.feather Stead if
they attempt to carry out their proposition
in spite of Mr. Wemyss' declination to
sanction it. There seems little doubt of
Sir Charles Dilke's election. There is some
talk of a social boycott being organized
against him in the House of Commons if he
obtains his Beat, but it is doubtful if this,
amounts to anything.
Scott's Youthful Heroines.
Out of thirty of Sir Walter Scott's,
heroines, sixteen are described as under 20..
Of the other fourteen, six are undated.
This leaves us eight, three of whom are -
set down as over 20; two start at one side -
of the line and are carried over to the
other; two are by implication rather them

of their "teen," and one, Amy Robsart,.
is a heroine "of an uncertain age," since
she is historically a middle-aged matrom
and fictitiously a youthful bride. Of the
six undated, the presumption is altogether
in favor of the earlier age. A member
once entertained the club with the state-
ment that nearly all Scott's heroines are
motherless. They are girls who have grown,
up in the companionship of uncles or
fathers, older men, and with an early
responsibility of thought and action. They
have had to plan their own wardrobes and
decide their own conduct toward their
lovers. Some of them have been behincl
the scenes of stirring political events.
Nearly all have been thrown into situations.
where they had to think for themselves, to.
act with decision, and in general to fulfill
the whole duties of heroines. The heroines.
of Scott are, some of them, only lay figures,
but, at least so far as they have character,
they are women, and they justify the deeds,
which are done to win them.
Various Beliefs.
The children were talking of the churches,
which they attended and the respective re-
ligious belief of their parents.

" Mine s a Baptist," asserted another.
"Mine is a Dutch Reform," chimed in a.
third.
