SLIGHTED LOVE AVENGED
HOW A J J 11D PARISIAN PUNISHED
A GIRL.
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

THE LITTLE RAILROAD 11E110.
Andy Moore was a little country boy.
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

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

MARRIAGE TANGLE.
Signor Zenone, of Milan, Does not Know
"Where Ile Arc."
Cases of persons getting married
without their knowledge are foebunalely
rare, which is all the more reason to
sympathize with Signor Zenone Panar-
anf, of Milan, Italy, who is sorely per-
plexed. hl fact, 'he does not know
"where ho are," and no one can tell
]tint, The circumstances Of Itis strange
predicament Pro as follows: Zenone's
brother, Roberto, a married man end
the father of a family, became
enamoured of a young woman named
Poddighe, and married her, posing as
his bachelor brother Zenone, whose
identification papers he had in some
manner managed to purloin. 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.
