A Successful Rival 'Was Denounced as the Leader of a Gang of Burglars. S1ighLoll love has just been avenging itself in two cases in a vary different manner from the now stale recourse to the entre and rho revolver, writes a Paris correspondent of Lite London 'Tele- graph, In each, instance the methods have certainly not been devoid at brl- ginallly, but while the author of the one has been requested to hold himself a' the disposal of the police, the other has won himself any amount of gra- titude from the family wllch had srorn- fulty rejected his matrimonial mammies. Hero No. 1, If such a term can be ap- plied to a gay law student somewhat addicted to flirtation, had been making up to a pretty brunette in the Latin Quarter, but the girl, although not currently supposed' to be particularly hard-heurled, had for some reason or another sent him about his business, The youth's vanity had been .consider- obly wounded, he had vowed to pay her out, and when a night or two ago she s sought to repose of her downy on ' couch ,n her trim little cha.mber,high up in the house where she dwelt., and was , just composing herself to slumber, she was startled by a weird noise. She opened her eyes, and, to her dismay, he- rein a tall object attired in 0 volumin- ous white robe standing at the foot of her bed. Terror kept the fascinating brunette mute, hut when, in low deep tones, the words, "I have come to fetch you marl to bear you away from this world," were uttered by the mysterious visitor, the poor girl screamed out, "A GI•IOST! A GHOST!" and, bounding from her couch into the middle of the tiny room, fell prone on the floor. Attracted by the noise, neigh - tors rushed in lo find the chamber empty, save for the presence of its len- ant, who was lying in a slate. of , In-, sensibility. Tho police and a doctor were promptly sent for, and when af- ter an hour's interval, the heroine of this gran adventure had been restored to consciousness, she related that she had received the unwelcome visit of a spirit. The officials, however, being decidedly sceptical on this point, slanted on an investigation, with the result that the mischief was traced to the law student, who confessed that he had got up the scene to punish the lovely brunette for her rejection of his overtures, and that he had obtained entrance to her room by means of a false key. He has not been arrested, but, as said above, has to hold himself at the disposal of the commissary. Suitor No. 2 had made his advances to a lovely girl, the daughter of retired tradespeople, for what is called 'le bon n1o111; that is to say, his intentions were honorable, and he meant marriage. Un- fortunately, the young man, although bearing an excellent reputation, was poor, so the family, which indulged in ambitions projects for the settlement •of the pretty damsel, gttvo him politely to understand that he was no match ler her. Not long after lhd occurrence of this little episode there appeared on the scene A VERY SMART YOUTH, who gave himself out as having already a splendid situation, which brought him in $2,500 a year, and was only a stop- ping -stone to a far more brilliant posi- tion. • The girl and her parents wero completely dazzled, and without starl- ing on the slightest inquiry received hint with open arms. The wedding day was fixed, the trousseau purchased, and relatives and friends were' assembled at a dinner party which was to be a pre- lude to the great event. Due justice had been done to the viands, and dessert with sundry bottles of sparkling cham- pagne had been laid on the table, when the rejected suitor, who had been in- cluded in • the invitations just by Way of showing that there Was no ill -feeing, rose to his feet and asked leave to make a little speech. Flow very noble of hint, the family and the other guests ex- claimed to themselves, but their horror may well be imagined when he •do- nounced his successful rival as a burg- lar who was making a good thing by his nefarious trade, and ENT" at missives the indi- vidual �ho bride, otaword tottering vay t0 [110 the father trlcic that gator was to aha oems;' that t of jenl- ity, as he o take his tared info nd during had which he nd which ha nature On which d. 1'ho waver, so for fnta that Eo play muoh ready, !t end, atter is very oU,Jeciion the e, at Any npieasarit own Mee.

Sometimes he wore a cup and sometitues he did not. ilo, perhaps, thought his shaggy hair was a good enough covering for his head. He did not caro at all about his looks. Ide knew a great deal mare about squirrels and bird's -nests than Ile did about the fashions. Andy's home was a rough 110use on the side of a hill. It was built of mud and logs, with holes for windows. Now, perhaps you may wondor how we are going to find a little hero In a poor country boy, living in a mud house. But wait a little. Tho diamond is a coarse, dull stone Lill it is cut and polished; and there was the heart of a true hero tinder Andy's Lorn jacket. Near the but cif Andy's father was a railway. The boy often watched the black engines as they came puffiing past, giving out great clouds of steam and smoke, and screeching through the valleys and under the hills like mad t i ngs. One day as Andy was crossing the line, he saw that there was something wrong. He did not know touch about railways, for lie wws very young; but somtbing was surely wrong, and Andy bad heard of cnrirages being thrown off when the rails wero out of place. Just then he heard a low, distant noise. A train was coming! He was only a boy, but perhaps'11e could stop the train in some way. He felt that he must try, for there was nobody else to tic it. Andy never thought that he might be trilled, but went and stood right in 1110 Middle o he f i u n h f t i1C st I front of ] the place I have told you about, and strotoh- ec out pus little arms as far apart as he could. On, on came the train, nearer and nearer, and louder and louder! The driver saw the boy on the line, and whis- tled for him to get out of tlls way. Andy did not stir an incih. Again the engine whistled. The boy never moved; he might have been made cd stone for all the notice he too15 of it. So the delver had to stop Lhe train. I -Io jumped down frons the engine, end ran along the track towards Andy. The train was late, and the driver was angry. But when he saw how 111e brave 111110 follow had saved his life, and the lives of all the pople In the carriages, his anger charged to gladness. Everybody got out of the train to see ('hat was the neater. Then they saw that 1f Andy had not stopped the train, the carriages would have been thrown Clown n steep bank and dashed to pieces. The ladles kissed Andy's rough, freck- led face, and Dried over him; and the gentlemen, as They looked at their wives Ind children, wiped their eyes, and said: "God bless the boyl" And that is not all, They tools out !heir purses and made up a large sum of money for him, not to pay him for what he had done -they knew they mold never do that -but to show the little lad, better than words could show him. how grateful they felt to him. Good, brave little Andyl Tile passen- rrs all wrote down his name - Andy Mnnre-end the place where he lived. Flacon years !have passed since Andy's brave deed, and if you wish to know s'here he is now, 1 will tell you. He is a driver on this very railway, SNAKES TITAT FLY. At the last meeting of the London Zo- ologlcnl Society sone' notes were read by 11, Slfelford, late of 'the Sarnwtnk Museum, on "flying snakes.

Thus, Roberto Panarani led a double life. Recently he died somewhat suddenly, leaving things ii1 a pretty mess. For Zenone found himself to his great sur- prise married to a young wont 00 he had never met, .and the latter discovered that she was sister -in -lav to herself -a rain-rackingcomplication happily rare in civilized countries. The question now is : Can the parties be legally divorced in Italy under these circum- stances ? Though 1110 case is a painful one, especially to Roberto Panarani's first wife, yet the comic element is not lacking, and, suitably elaborated, might serve as the central plot of a stage play. f G1flLDHOOD AILMENTS.
