The domestic arrangements of Mr.
Long's house Were admirably looked aa,

ing in the mune of John Bung, and his
efforts wore ably seconded In the culm-
nry department by his wile Sarah,
whose tendency to adtpose tissue mani-
fested Iteelf in the same ratio as esttai
tilled by the worthy John. As they en-
tered the room, in response to Mts.
Long's summons, they looked like ttvo
latige, over -fed babies.
"Mr. Long has to go to Liverpool this ;

"Very good, ma'am." they answered.
"All letters must be kept until our re-

An hour later Mrs. Bung. sumplu-

rustled into the drawing -room. A goM

round her neck and glistened upon her

fellow dressed•in furs was standing on
the step.
"AM and so you are George, eh?" said
Mr. Bung, cordially.
"Well—yes, I am; but how did you

When George Tremayne was left to

trouble crossed his lace.
"A rum couple,' he murmured lo
himself; "but I am prepared to put up
with a lot for dear Em's sake."
The motor -car containing Mr. and
Mrs. 13ung, reelining in the back seats
leath. a dignity born of their (1400 101-
prance, had hardly dashed round tho

Ile had seen Mrs. tong off to Brighton
end proeeeded to Hinton himself, where
Ile found a messenger from las office
awaiting him with a letter which can-
celled the necessity for the journey
north. Consequently he returned to his
house very Much out of temper. and
ready to quarreltawith anybody.
He enfeecd the house with his key,
end rang the bell to summon Bung; but,
it Is needless to say, he met with no

MENAND WOMEN OFDEATH

Mine. Bielkskaia, "the Fatal Woman"—
Sad Story of the Artist.
Hans Kinnow.
Haunted Floosies are not uncommon,
mid most of us have beard .stories Cf
amulets of varioue kinds which brought
ail kinds of disaster to their possessors.
For an evil influence to attach itself to
a human being, and from that iudividual
spread to those around him or her, is
rune, but yet by no means unknown.
One of the strangest, cases 01 1115 kind
imaginable has recentty came to light
in Mosta. A smart young student,
named Ostrovski, a man of good ler-
tune and family, shot himself dead in a
St. Petersburg street. There WaS re
'apparent reason .for the rash act, and
it was ascribed to political causes.
His friends, however, bave a different
idea. The dead Mari had parted, only
a moment previous to his death, 'grin
Time-Bielskina, who is linewn far and
wide as "the fatal woman." This lady,
is a generals daughter, and is of great
beauty. 'When she WEIS quite .young 11

badly injured, yet both aeon efterwares
committed suicide.

SELLING TICKETS FOR HEAVEN.
By the superstitious peasants of Nov-
gorod it was accepted as truth. They
disposed of Mete property at ridiculous
micas, ceased their tilling of the land,
and look strongly to drink. Amongst the
workmen at Kharkoff the prophecy
caused quite a panio. They left the town
ie large numbers in order that they
might spend their few remaining days,
amongst theli- own families in their na-
tive villages. This caused so much in-
convenience at several factories that tho•

PROPHECY TI1AT BUILT CHUTICIIES.
But even In England prophets have
wreaked much mischief by their prognos-
tications of the end of the world. A few
years ago a famous London professor of
the gift caused some sensation by his
prediction that the end was close at
"rit(iii
Piite tension, however, considerably
slaticened when it was discovered that,
notwithstandIng the imminence of the
dread event, the prophet had just re-
newed the least of his business premises
for a further term of ten years. This
was regarded as an outward and visible
sign of an Inward and spiritual dishe-

English churches 1,0111011 owe their exis-

nearly nine hundred years ago. About
1114 year 1010 a prophet declared that this
would come about In the course of a few
months, and Orme clergynien per-
suaded their congregations to use up
their worldly riches in building Churches
to commemorate the event.
As wealth could obviously be of no
use to them in the next, world, the kn-
ee worshippers responded handsomely
In the appeals of their spiritual advisers.

erected are still in existence, ennong
