In every ftspcct, Ayer's Ilair Vigor
never fails to restore tfie youthful fresh
ness and color to faded and gray hair.
Jt also prevents, the' hair from falling, ,
' eradicates dandruff, and stimulates
weakdiair to a vigorous growth.
; Five years ago, my hair, which was
-quite gray, commenced falling, and, in
spite of cutting, and various prepara
tions faitliftrily applied, hecame thinner
every day. I was finally persuaded to
try Ayer s Hair Vigor. Two bottles of
this remedy not only stopped the hair
from falling, but also restored its orig
inal color, and stimulated a new growth.

oilier'; ioo::ih, 'always, through tho
vindows, (Li there were no doora opening
upon it.
One cool Autumn nibt there was a rap
at my window.
My visitor was a newcomer, wha.was
ca'.le i Mr. Hurry by everybody.'' lie was
a handsome fellow, tall and elim, with
finely cut features and entail hands. His
dark coniplexion, hi3 deep brown eyes,
his blue LIuck curly hair, proclaimed him
of southern blood. Ho had a email ex
quisHely shaded, black raiiKtacIie, which"
lieyhtened the delicate and relined np
licaraneo of Ids face:
His teclh were dazxlingly white, and
showed as he talked cr laughed. .
lie was -rather reserved, I think, but
the coincidence of our needs that nisht
aroiuod an accidental sympathy between
iiy winch afterward grew into a steadfast
friendship.
IIh toij me that ho was working in the
Etudio of a Kculptor. "
'I'v'o only a dilettanti sort of a talent,
though," ho added, "but then I can
earn.' my living at it. 'And, besides, I
rather like to model Venuseo, I'hrynes
and Dianas."
He told ine that his immediate family
were ail dead; that he had been brought
up in luxury, knew all tho old aristo
cratic people of the city, and that, as the
family estate melted away after, Ida
father's death, ho had to cultivato bis.
ono email talent to get bread, lie tela
this in the liveliest manner and did not
seem at all affected by the recital of the
downfall cf the family fortunes.. This
struck me as -rather strange. I puzzled
over it from time to time, as our conver
sation lapsed. At last it Hashed upon
we. .
You are in love!" I exclaimed, "I've
found you out!"
Perhaps I am, he replied with one
of his happy smiles, which showed his
beautiful wliita teeth. And then ho
started up. .
It 13 ali'uor.t 2. It s time to -go to
bed." - He stretched out lus hand and I
took it. .
"What is really vour name?' I .asked
as ho pressed my band warmly. ,
"Harry t aprelu. (jroort night!
From thia tirno ho was often in my
room and I in his. It was strangely fur
nished, for a number of costly and beau
tiful curios presented a striking contract
to tho thngy furniture, which looltcu as if
after (lie act. t went over to speak tj
several persons of my acquaintance and
when tho bell rang went back to my sat."
lL-jry did not return and I saw no more
of him that evening. I felt strange and
uneasy, as his sudden departure was in
explicable. Y.'hen I reached home, I did not feel
like going to bed, and to a3 uvual sat
flown to my writing. Trpm tiuio to timo
I got up and wal Iced back and forth,
searching for the right word or --expression.
'Whenever I approached tho win
dow. I put my head out to ceo if there
wasahg'it in Harry 'a room. Finally I
saw the gleam from hij windows. I
waited a few minutes, as lie always camo
into my room at night after ho had been
out, and his otrango departure from tho
theatre mado mo more certain that he
would bo in -at once. But when he did
not come, I concluded, to go and find tho
reason of it all. As I stood in front of
his window on tho balcony, several
shadows moved across the curtain. There
was something so unusual in thi.i that I
hesitated a moment, and thou knocked
lightly on tho window pane. No ono ap
peared to hear. Thero ' was the Eound of
deep voices and heavy steps within. I
rapped harder. ,
'Vait a "minute!" called a strange
voice. And soon tho curtain was drawn
and tho window raised.
The sight which met my eyes made me
gasp for breath for a moment, tho bliock
was so strong. " "
Harry lay half undressed on tho bed,
pale, apparently unconscious, with clo.:ed
eyes and yellow lias, slightly opened. IIo
drew in hij breath with a'gasp. lliJ left
hand clutched s.t his heart, and on lus
shirt were great patches of dark red.
'At tho head of t.ho bed stood a, cab
driver and bc3ido him tho janitor of tho
building, who had opened tho window.
Tho room was dimly lighted by a tingle
lamp.
"In heaven's name, what has hap
pened'!1" I cried.
From tho reports I learned that the
coachman had been stopped in Fifth a'c
nue about a half an hour before and di
rected to drive tip to a certain house door.
There tho gentleman now lying on tho
bed had come out, accompanied by two
men. One had wished to get into tho
carriage with him, but had been rofustd.
Tho' gentleman had given tho street and
numb-cr himself, but in a very weak
voice, and ordered him to drivo a3 care
fully as possible When he etopped and
opened the carriage door tho gentleman
was i.i a dead faint. Ho Ijad aroused the
janitor and together thoy carried him up
stairs to his room, laid him in tho bed and
removed some of lib clothes.
"Go at or.co f:;r a doctor and I will"
waif here," I said to them as soon as I
learned these fVxts. '
I looked at Harry after they had gone,
and tears camo to my eyes at sight of his
white, .motionless face. I took ha hand
in mino and began to stroko it gently.
After awhilo ho opened Ids eyes,, and
looked at mo in bewilderment, then ho
smiled and weakly prettied my hand. I
couid not utter a word. Harry tried
eev f.J times to speak, but only succeeded
after several ineffectual e:Tcrt3; and then
I cou'd scarcely disHnguiuh tho word I
"Everything ij ad right I have 1i::cd
it." lie ciojed Ida eyes; but after a mo
ment gasped:
"My coat!"
I handed it to him. Ho tried to put
Ins hands lull tho pockets, but Ins strength
gave cut and ho slfcok his head and smiled
again faintly. I searched tho pbekets and
took out several articles, among them a
lamp to light lilm down stair, ho thanked1
me courteously and Lado me good night. "
I went back into tho room. Tho im
pulse to speak to Harry, to awal'en him
was almost Irresistible. I could not Iw
lievo that tho beautiful, r.ttraciive smile
had faded from his lips forever.
I took up the modeling board which
lay beside him on tho bed and removed
tho cloth. I tried to make out what
shape the crushed naa had onto had,
Harry "had been entirely too weak to
entirely obliterate it. I linally mado out
that it Lad been a -medallion, with a
woman's head upon it in relief. Tho
face was indistinguishable, but tho hair
was almost uninjured. I also examined
the card catso which Harry had given nie,
but it contained only a few cards and a
receipt or two, as far as I could judge
fjiPiu my hasty glance. .
Again thcro was the. noise cf steps,
and tho janilor entered, followed b a
gentleman.
"Tho doctor!"
I looked at them in nstoalslitnent.
"The doctor has been hero already, 'JlJI
said. - .
"Doctor who?" I went directly to the
nearest burgeon and came back wih him
my self.
Meanwhiio tho doet'x went up to tho
lied and convinced himx If that his serv
ices camo too lalo for oid.
I told them what bad happened, and
handed tho phybioiau tho paper tho other
doctor had left.
"Ah, idi! Dr. Van Horn? Tho favorifo

That was precisely what I did want to

of the low shite of my finances.

Harry had not worn any flower the prj
vi his evening. When Harry noticed lho
rose, he motioned ins to give it tJ hhn.
Hj pressed it to Ids lips, and two greet
tear drojjs rolled down his checks. His
arm fe'l down and he again sank into a

sound of fix,t't:;; s on the stairs broke the

Who knows?" I said in reply.
"Perhaps tho man who gave him thh
thrust sent to discover if it was mortal."
T'ue janitor agreed to-watch tho rest of
tho night und I went to led.
About noon tho next day I was awak
ened by an officer summoning r.io to tip
pear before tho coroner's jury.
I told what had occurred under my ob
servation, but made no reference to the
medallion or tho card c.io out of respect
to Harry's evident wishes. Tho coach
man could not be found.
Dr. Van Hum testified that his servant
had given hint -direction:-;, which had licon
received from another servant. Who hail
sent for the doctor could not be discov
ered, and there could be found no cloy.' to
solving tho um;tery.
Two days later we burjed Harry Ca
prelli. A few. distant relative.! and a lit
tle group of fellow Doiiemians followed
his lxly to tho grave.
The next morning in Tho Tinic.1 ap
peared the local note:
"Sir. Walter Ilei-rick, who has been
missed at tho Apollo clnb for the last few
days, is out again, though still compelled
to .carry his arm in a sling. He slipped
on the stcp3 of tho club house a few
night since and sprained his wrist
badly."
Not far from this among tho society
notes were V.m lines:
"Jlisa Helen Ilarplcigh, one of the.
most charming of tho ladies who enliven
tho social sea on for a month'or two each
year, has gone back to Washington and
will not return tins season.
Thcro were also a few lines devoted to
Harry's death and burial.
1 to (irmly convinced that Miss Ilarp
leigh'e departure and Mr. Herrick's indis
position wero cciiuectedywitir Harry's
death.
But I did not attempt to establish my
suspicion. I should have felt guilty in
doinpr so contrary to Harry's wishes. -

The Three Most Notnbla Conimitnltlei nf
Dirurfi In Africa.
.A whik) ago Jlr. Orcnfcll of the Congo
missions encountered on tho Eosnri river,
eou'.h of tho Congo, the Batwa dwarfs
whom Stanley mentions in ".The Dark
; Continent," though Stanley did no: sec
them. Orenfeu says these httlo people
j exist over a largo extent of country, their
' villages lieing scattered hero and there
i among other tribes. Wissnian and Poggo
also mot them a few years ago in their
; journey lo Nyangwo.
: It was long supposed that the story of
; Herodotus about tho pigmiqa of Africa
' was mythical, but within tho past twenty
i years abundant evidence has accumulated
!of the cxistenco of a number of tribes of
I curious littlo folks in equatorial Africa.
'' The chief among theso tribes aro tho
: Akka, whom &hwcinfurth found north
west of Aluert Nytiesa; tho Obongo, dis
covered by Du Chaillu in Went Africa,
southeast of Gaboon, and tho liatwa
Boulh of Congo. ". .:
These little peoplo range in height from
4 feet 2 inches to about 4 feet 8 inches.
They are iutellecttiidly as well as physic
ally inferior to lho ether tribes of Africa.
They aro perhaps nearer the brute king
dom than any other human beings. Tho
Oiiongo, for instance, wear no semblance
of clothing; make no huts except tt bend
over end fasten lo the ground tho tops of
three or four young trees, wliieh they
cover with leaves; ixkucss uo arts except"
tho making of bows and - arrows, and do
rot fiit the soil They live On'thesTnallet-f
game cf lho forest, and on nuts and ber
ries. They regard tho leopard, which
now end then mates a meul of ono of
them, ns their deadliest enemy. They
livo only a few days or weeks in ono
place, burying themselves in soma other
part of the interminable woods lis soon as
tho nuts and oilier food supplies near
their camp beg-in to grow scarce.
When fiehweinfurth first met tho Akka
dwarfs ho found himself surrounded by
what ho supposed wits a crowd of impu
dent boy. There were several hundred
of them, nnd ho soon found that they
were veriiable, dwarfs, and that their
tribe probably numliercd several thousand
soul i. One of tlu-se dwarfs was taken to
Ilaly a few years ngo, -was taught to
read, and excited much mterot among
scientific men. There aro other tribe.; of
dwarfs in Abysunia ana also in Somali

j Adulterous women and sorceresses wero
drowned or- smothered in mud. Btones1
j wero fastened to their necks to prevent
; their swimming, or they were sewed uj
inacks. Sometimes they were drowned
in conijinny with a cat, a dog and a
snake. The Anglo-Saxons drowned wo.
; men guilty of theft. Tlio criminal was
: thrown from the cUtf or submerged. In
; lho Tenth century a woman was drowned
j ot Iiondon- bridge. Women wero pun
ished by drowning in Scotland. In 151)9
I Gri-iseil Mathon was condemned by the?
j high court of. Udinburgh "to bo taken to
1 tho north lock and there drowned till slio
be dead." :
A memorable instance of drowing oc
curred at Bavaria, Oct. 14, 1-100. Agnes
Pernaurien, vifo cf Duke Albert tho
Pious, was dropped oil the bridgo of tho
city of (itrasburg Into tho Danulie, by

According to the Danish laws, women -
were buried ahvo for then, a inctliod pi

Buhjccted to this cruel death, at Abbeville,
and hi 11(10 a woman named Perotto
Manger, a notorious thief and receiver cf
stolen goods was, by crder of the provost
of Pari s, buried ulivo in front of the gib
bet in that city. Iu ancient German his
tory wo read ef female, criminals beingf
imimled in the mud and, in comparatively
recent years, tho reniainoof several bodies
have been found to prove tho trulh of
this assertion. In curly England a cook

bo u law was parsed making her crime
punishable by being boiled td death.
