.In another minute I was bowling

earnest conversation. 31 there had
been any budding idea in my mind
of a real connection between the in-

missed by the men's demeanor. They

hence there was no shadow of doubt
this t.tme as to tho reality of the
coincidence that startled me.
Sir Situon's visitor was none
other than Nathan, the Jew owner
of the Queen of Night, my new em-
ployer.
I hurried to the ronin -door and
looked aftor the retreating figure as
it passed out of tho house, 1To had

amply confirmed my recognition of
the leering, wizened face. he was in
o headgear which, from the peculiarity
of its construction, had specially 0C
erected niy attention in the city.
There was no time for conjecture
or surmise as to the nature of his
business with SIr Simon. The but-
ler approached me with o. request to
follow him to his master's presence,
and leading rue up the broad stair-
case he ushered me into a snug
apartment, half smoking -room, half
library. Sir Sinton was sitting at
an escritoire, occupied in blotting a
couutcrfoil in a cheque-book, which
upon my entrance, he folded up and
thrust into a drawer, He next mo-
ment be had risen, and was greeting
me, to my surprise, as warmly as
was possible to ono of his aristo-
cratic temperament.

responded as well as I could to
his intended civility, and then asked
after Aline's health without tolling
him that I knew of her absence from
town. As there waS 210 that= of
my seeing her then, he might as well
take my visit as meant for himself,
I thought.
"Aly poor ward is very far from
well, 1 regret to say," was the dis-

"I ant a bit jumpy to -day," 1
said to myself. "If I didn't know to
the contrary, I should think 1 had

fulling myself together, 1 once
more disluissed the incident of the
eyes as too ridiculous for serious
consideration. As the cab sped
along the Embankment 1 gave my-
self up to pleasant anticipations of
the canting meeting, and by the time
it drew tip in Grosvenor Square 1
had forgotten everything but Aline—
Aline, the sweetheart whom I had
wrested from the sea. 'taut when :C
had paid my fcu'e and stood before
the house, my spirits received some-
thing of a damper, and I realized
for the first time that even unpre-
judiced persons might sec presump-
tion, or what was worse, self-inter-
est in my courtship. That stately
mansion, with Its lordly frottage
and imposing air of wealth, was
heardly the sort of abode in which

their brides.

About the same date Charles
Kraus, of Cincinnati, took unto him-
self for wife one whom he judged to
be a "complete" woman. But, alas!
after marriage he found that de-
ception had been practised upon hire,
and that the lady Of his choice was
tho unfortunate possessor of an
, artificial eye and log. Forthwith he
sued for a divorce o1 the ground
that he had been cajoled into matri-
mony under false pretences. Judge
Davis, however, decided in .favor of
- the wife, remarking that, as sho had
never been asked before marriage
whether she had any physical de-
fects, there could be no question of
deceit. "It is not unlawful," he con-
' tinned, "for women to attract men
with devices and attachments used
' to improve the wo•]c of Nature.

consequence the health is improved.

NOT I-IUMAN DISEASES.
There is therefore abundant evi-
dence that rats suffer from a disease
identical with 1(1111011 plague; that
their epidemics for the most part
immediately precede human epidem-
ics; that they can transmit the dis-
ease to mankind; and that tate
plague is primarily a disease of rats,
and only secondarily a human dis-
ease.
This striking hypothesis was pub-
licly stated by Dr. Koch at the re-
cent Congress on Tuberculosis, but
had been previously enunciated by
Dr. Manson and probably by others.
Wo have similar instances in the dis-
eases anthrax, glanders and rabies,
belonging to cattle, horses and dogs,
respectively, which affect man only
as derived b3 infection from these
e
animals; and in some other so-called
"epizootics" which, though occa-
sionally affecting man, are not prim-
arily human diseases.
