' Just then the angol appeavea.., It Avas
the younjf widow whom Lawrence had.
met in tUo park up-town.. . She was in
court with Mrs. Itowers, assisting that
charitable- lady in her work and at tho
same time keeping an oyo opon for her
thieving maid, who might bo ozpocted
to turn up at any timo among tho pi-is-
HIS NAUK WAS iOXZS. f
onora' During the examination of Law
rence and the impostor she bad boon
busy with Mrs. Itowers in another part
of the room,' and so had not hoard a
word of the case. , It' takes an aciito ear
to dotect any thing that, gobs on in a
New York court, even when one stands
beside the judge himself. The young
lady had chanced "to seo Mr. Drano's
face, and. in spite of the great improve
ment effected on it by the , barber and
the radical cbango in his garb, she rec
ognized him. ' It was not immediate
and she was not altogether sure. Sho
whispored excitedly to Mrs. Howers: -
"Soul is not that the gentleman who
assisted mo tho other morning?"
Mrs. Uowors had rccotirso to her
glasses. v
"I should think so," she replied,
from his clothes. I shouldn't bo likely
to forgot thera."
; T "pernor I moan tho other ono. I
must go up and seo."
t ilts. Howers disapproved of this heart
ily, but tho young widow took hor own
way,' juid presently Mr. Diano felt a
light hand laid on his arm. It was at
tho point whero tbe impostor h:vd askod
to bo' allowed to go to his hotol. Law-
renoo turned, and with a joyfully leap

She gave her name, but' tn spite of oil
attention Lawrence missed it in the con
fusion attendant upon the' bringing in
of several new arrests. Ho began to see
tbe end of his difficulties, and joy pos
sessed blm as tbe judgo listened with
evident belief to the young lady's ac
count of the park episode.
' "And what Is the gentleman's name?"
askod the judge when she ' bad finished
her little story. !' t ' "

and she exclaimed hysterically:
"Oh, dear! Have I done any thing'
wrong?"
"Nothing whatever, - madam," said
the judge. "Yea may step down. Now
Mr. Thomas Jones, you told, me em.
phatioally but a few days ago that your
name was Jones. Have yoa any thing
more to say?"
' "Your honor," and Lawrence's voice
was ragged with emotion as he spoke:
"I see that I have been oontinaally be
sot with my own blunders. I blundered
1Z ,Z Z 7ntl. l .h7. ut
in lying about my name, whtehis really
Drane; sinoo then I have blundered at
every step until I committed the last In
declining to explain myself. I will
gladly pay the expense of telegraphing
to Kansas City. My Mends there will
reply to your satisfaction."
"We will let yon do that, Jones," said
the judge, "but meantime I shall hold
yon, and if a reply does not eomo beforo
we adjourn yen will bare to remain."
Thero was nothing for Lawrence to do
but acquiesce and write bis telegram as
fast as possible. This, after soma judi
cial editing, read as follows:
SAxronD Drake I am hold In court
on suspicion of stealing my own clothe
and my namor Pleas wlr the court at
one a full description of my appears noe

Then hi own statement of hi ad
venture was taken down. If this
should correspond to the account to b
telegraphed ho would be , free. Con
fident of tho result be followed an of
ficer to tba prison, leaving the pretty
widow sluing on s front scat tearfully
listening to a whUpered lector from
that expert cbjkracVor reader, Mrs.
Bower. ' ,
Tbe Impostor anxious to establish
bis caa before a reply to Mr.' Drane'
tr lepra ra should . arrive, hurried from
the court accompanied by on officer.
They went to a Broadway ' noul and
marched strahrht p to Uie pompons
clerk. : . . .. "
: "Do yon know this man?" osicca tno
policeman.
"Know himT. returned the clerk,
scornfully, "I should hope noil"
t, ."But you remember,' cried tho im
postor, "that lcamo bore this morning
and took a room, don't you? I am Law
rence Drano, of Kansas City. You'll
find my name on the register." '
-., The clerk examined the big book.
"There's a Mr. Drane hero," be said;
"I remomber him. Ho was a well
dressed man, and you why, be wouldn't
lot you in at tho door if you didn't come
with a policeman. Besides, this Mr
Drane came from Now Uaven."
"Oh, Lord! I forgot that!" exclaimed
the impostor; "you see, J came down
from New Ilavon on -an early train.
Why, I was married In New Ilaven yes
terday!" The clork turned away with a sniff of
disgust.
iJ.-"Corae now,, whatever your namo is,"
said the officer, ."don't waste any more
timo. March back to court."
So back he went, regretting at every
atop that his suddon prosperity had so
enlivened bis respect for olcanliness
that he bad ventured to take a bath.
"First I've taken for years," ho mut
tered, "and it serves mo right. Got on
well enough without before."
There were a lot of lato arrivals at
Jefferson market that day, and it was
six o'clock before tho court was ready
to adjourn. Mrs. Bowers and tho fair
widow were still there, tho former stay
ing against her will at the earnest solic
itation of" the latter. She was sadly
disturbed at having failed so signally
to aid her benofactor, and was anxious
to learn the result of the Inquiry. Just
In the nick of timo, as it seotnedto hor,
a messenger boy crawled into the room
and 'demanded with amazing Indiffer
ence: - t
"Is do judge here?"
The judge relieved tho bo of his dis
patch and addressed a remark to him
which' sent him out of court .several
thousand timos faster than. he carao In.
Tbe two claimants to tho name of Drane
were already at tho bar. . The judge read
tho telegram alien tly, cougbod, road it
again and remarked:
"This does not tooni to help matters
for olthor of you."
-Then be read tho dispatch aloud;

CHAPTER Vlt
JEXKIJtS KETRT.AT.
Amid the sorrows In which Drone was
again involved, ho bod 'one consolation
tbe young woman with thirteen mill
Ions evidently felt almost as badly as
be did. He beard hor tell Mrs. Bowers
that the judicial blacksmith on the
bench was "simply dreadful."
But this was not the best of It; ha
hoard Mrs. Bowers' reply. Only two
words, indeed, and as Irrelevant as are
most feminine utterances in times of
emergency: "Why. Bessie!" was all she
aid, or at least all that Drane board,
'bu h was more than rojolcod.
. ,
Her
name was Bessie! At last bo had some
thing to call her in his tboagbts.. It
,. ... .... .
bis joyattbi. discovery be forgot U, re-
was
mt that he didn't Vnow tho other half
of her name. He watched her pour her
woes into Mrs. Bowers' ear, and was
satisfied. ..v ,"'
'Such a spectacle Is always entertain
ing, for when a woman bos embarrassed
a man by making a blunder, If she Is
aot too stupid to see It, nor too proud to
acknbwlodg it, nor too nofvous to know
what she is about, abo will sometimes
pity him divinely, if he U reasonably
good-looking. - And If sho bos begun to
feel a little tenderly toward him, she
often scctno herself unjustly. In
. may have the luxury of
.w..v,.
has put him into difficulty.
That was why Bessie now gazed at
Drane with such angelic sympathy do
pic ted upon her beautiful countenance.
6 he said In her heart that bor testimony
bad somehow bolped to prove that he
was Insane. . It was a question of the
heart, and In saeb eases a woman never
allow an appeal to tbe higher tribunal
of the mind. So Bessie acted upon her
first impulse and implored Mrs. Bowers
to do something, no matter what It was.
With Mrs. Bowers it was question
neither of tho heart nor of the mind, but
of the .conscience. Therefor she de
cided to be marc 11 ess. but jnat It was
her plain doty to protect Bessie from
Impostor, forts ne hunters and lunatics;
so she frowned at Drano In a way that
gave him a chill to supplement the fever
which Bessie tender ( Usee bad pot
Into bis blood.'
- "Where arlll they send him now?"
asked Bessie, shuddering.
"Probably to Ward's Island, tempo
rarily," replied Mrs. Bowers.
"Will tby b good to him there?" '
"He will be cared foresaid Mrs. Bow
ers, sternly; "aud ted to a eortaia ex
tent. " - "
"Oh, my!" cried Bessie, tearfully:
"Can't we tak blm home with na? Yon
have been so kind to m that I look
pas your. hoasss bom now, yon
know." . .. . - :
"1 couldn't think of such a thing,"
Mrs. Bo wo re said, firmly. "1 can not
have a lunatio in my bouse. It is all
that I can do to look out for you."
At tho thought that Drano would bo
sent, partly on bor account, to an Island
whero thero might be- neither pudding
nor tea, Bossie developed symptoms of
hysteria , which touched Mrs. Bowers'
heart.
Torhapsl could got him committed
to Jenkins' Retreat," she said, relenting.
."Where Is that?" asked Bessie, catch
ing at a btraw.
"It is a private asylum up-town," said
Mrs.. Bowers, "where thev euro for mild
but hopeless lunatics. I will speak to
tho Judgo about it." '
"Is it bettor than that awful Island?"
"It is a shade moro cheerful," Mrs.
Bowers admitted, shutting her Hps to
gether firmly. -
"Then , make tho judgo send hhn
thore," cried Beanie. "Tell him that I
will give blm ton thousand dollars If ho
will."
t "My dear!" exclaimed Mrs. Bowers,
shocked at tho girl's ignorance, "thero
are only a certain number of judges In
New York, and you don't want them
all." .
Drane had observed Ihlsoonversatlon,
though ho could not bear any of It. Ono
can not hear ony thing in a Now York
police court. Tho testimony of tear
ful innocence gi ven In such places Is
heard only in Heaven; which is just as
well, perhaps, for It may get- some at
tention up thoro. Ilowcvor, Drane
knew that Bessie had been pleading for
him; and when Mrs. Bowers approached
tho judgo, tbe prisoner realized that
some amelioration of hiscondltlon might
be expected. , , .'
Mrs. Bowers talked earnestly with tho
magistrate, and with such good effect
that Drane was consigned to Jenkins'
lie treat till his friends from Kansas
City should arrivo. As for tho tramp,
be went to bo fed to a certain oxtcnt.
Mr. Jenkins called bis asylum a "ro
troat," advisedly, because it certainly
was- not an advance upon any thing
hitherto existing in that line of. busi
ness. Its exterior had all tho subdued
horror of a fashionable boarding-houso
Where nothing thrives but gaunt re
spectability. Within it was oven worse.
An atmosphoro of "references given
and ' required," especially the latter,
filled tbo hall; and through a doorway
at the right, could bo seen a tomb-Uke
parlor, wheroin upon tho sarcophagus
of a sofa sat tbo rigid Image's of two an
cient females, ovidently patients. . They
looked out at Drane with a cold snvority
that made his hair curl.
: Ho had como thero in - charge of a
court officer, and had not beon allowed
to exchango a word with Bessie, whom
Mrs. Bowers had draggO away as soon
as the question of commitment bad beon
settled. - lie felt deserted and friond-
less, and dcopito tho fact that it was a
very warm ovonlng, ho shivered as he
stood In tho hall waiting for Jenkins,
of whom tho officer bad gone In soaroh.
A largo number of entertaining and
chocrful reflections crowded upon Drano
as ho stood in 6ie dimly-Ughtcd hall.
Ho wondered, for Instance, whether a
straight-jacket would be regard od as an
essential of absolutely corroct ovonlng
dress in Mr. Jenkins' retreat. He also
had a curiosity to know bow often, on
an average, the violent lunatics in tbe.
establishment overpowered tboir keep
ers and slaughtered the less demented
inmates. But, doe pest and most impor
tant of all, was the question of suppor,
for the meal which ho had appropriated
In the bath bod ceased to give him sat
isfactory support, and It might bo a long
timo beforo be bad a chance to steal an
other. ..
- Jenkins was slow In coming; and
Drane got more and moro nervous. He
had an unusually strong natural horror
of lunatics. Not tb'at tbelr presence is
particularly agreeable to any body ex
cept a" Jenkins at so much a hood but
Drano was actually superstitious about
It. Ho had a feeling that the germ of
mania were floating In the air aronnd
blm.and that ho might break out with the
diseato any minute. ,
He wondered at being loft thus alone.
A man who bad been judicially decided
to b orsry should have keeper.' Then
be perceived in tbe shadow of tbe door
large, ungainly man who seemed to b
on watch. He stood In kind of niche,
and had thus escaped Drano's observa
tion whon be entered. This man's eyo
so glared upon him oat of tbo darkness
that Drano's norves began to dance In
manner tbat threatened to fit him very
quickly for permanent occupancy of the
retreat. He felt tbat h must escape
from that man's observation or relieve
tbo oppressive silence by howL -
He compromised the matter by step
ping Into tho parlor. At this, both tbe
ancient and unfortunate ladies assumed
an air of tnodost reserve which was
quit frightful to seo. Presently one of
them drew out her handkerchief and be
gan to weep softly, but with evident de
termination to do tbo subject full Jus
tice before sbe got through.
"Madam,", said Drane, gently, "if
my presence affect yon to tears, I will
withdraw."
"Do not do so on my account," she
said, "it 1 not your fault that yon bar
revived sorrow tbat has, long been
burled in my breast."
Drone regretted having been the
cans of such joyless resurrection, and
be vontored to murmur words to that
effect. " .-,'-.
"It does not matter." h said. "My
conduct mast oom Strang to yoa. 1 1
ean hardly explain It without telling i
you the tory of my life. There I a ro
mance In It," and ah brightened ap
preciably. "Yon shall hoar ths meLsa
eboly narrative."
' "Far bo It from me to lntmdo upon
your eonfidenoe," said Drane, endeavor
ing to get away. But she flxod him with
ber eve and he sank back Into bis seat.
The sba drew choir near to hi and
between blm and tbe door.
'- "Yon resemble hint strongly," said
she. "Tho same nobis feature, the
aamo soulful eyes, the aam pallor. In
dicativo of tho same sad fate. Are yoa a

bho laid hor head on his shoulder,
and cried Into his collar. Drano could
fool his hair begin to turn gray but ho
shut bis tooth togothor with resolution.
Tho other follow bod stood It seven
weeks bofore he went out of his bead,
and Drano beliovod that he could lost
till Jonklns camo.
In fact ho did; but It was a close
shavo. Jenkins was a tall and greedy
I man, with hollow cheeks and a cheer
less smilo. At bis appearance tho
woman with a romance in her life
vanished in cbargo of hor companion,
who proved to be the matron ' of tbo
house. Jenkins did not care to question
tbo new comer. He was satisfied that
all chargos would be promptly paid, and
ho at once escorted Drane to an apart
ment on tho third floor. Horo tho un
fortunate young man secured some toast
and tea, which, however, did not whol
ly sustain him against the horrors of
the night

This was a cheerful subject of rofleo
tion to tako to bed with one, and it was
still moro consoling to hoar tbe hoy
turned on tbo outsldo of the door.
"I bellevo that I shall actually go
crazy beforo morning,", said Drano as
be stretched himself upon tbo bed. It
was Insufferably hot. The windows wore
carefully barred and screened in a way
which not only prevented tbo suicidal
egress of jonklns' boardors but denied
IngToas to an adequato supply of tbo
frco air of Heaven. After making this
discovery Drano returned to bis bod,
wbero tio"was soon dreaming that tbo
dangling hoels of his unhappy pre
decessor were still knocking against tba
headboard.

RAPID LLPRODUCTION.
The Prod gious Increase of the Rabbit
Population of New Zealand.
Two pairs of rabbits 'were orig
inally taken to New Zealand for the
purpose of stocking tbe island wilb
some small game, . and turned loose.
The rabbits gradually faded from
the public mind. Seldom, says J. M.
Ingram in LIppincott's Magazine,
were tbey seen by human eyes. But
time passed, Tho rabbits improved
each'shininjv hour to increase tboir
numbers. Tbey were multiplying by
a ratio of their own caciulation. The
semi-tropical character of tbe cli
mate enabled one brace of animals
and their bclrs within forty-eic'it
months to be responsible for one
million two hundred and fifty thou
sand of kittens.
After s few years' start the result
of this productive activity began to
be observed. . Rabbit appeared in
diverse places. Boon tbey were
seen in crowds. Tbecrowds then as
sumed larger proportions; tbe pro
portions continued to extend. Like
a ripple started on a placid lake,
which soon touches the circling
shores, the rabbits finally spread
over the island. ' '
' The cloudbursts which broke
among the rocky peaks and tho
mountain floods which poured their
torrents from the canyons of tbe
New Zealand Alps were not more
disastrous to tbe surrounding plains,
Like) a scourge of caterpillars tbe
rabbits devoured whatever vegeta-
iioo their teeth could touch. Like a
desolating drought tbey obliterated
tbe berbago in tbe valley and made
barren the hill. Where prolific
verdure had waved 'on tbe plains
naked waste now marked the land
scape. Crops were destroyed, grain
fields, gardens and orchards were
blighted. Farms were made value
less, grazing runs were eatea out;
flocks and herds died for lack of
food. Sheep and cattle raising suf
fered heavilv and agriculture was
seriously threatened. A second Aus-
tralian plasrue bad Invaded -.the
Elands and left the same blasted
track as a record.
A PRETTY TRICK.
How "Old Ironsides" Fooled . the
' Enemy for Long Time.
Tho Constitution, or "Old Iron
sides," as she is more familiarly
known, is the most famous of all the
wooden ships that we , have pre-'
served. Time and time again did
she vanquish the English ships in
the war of 1812, and proud were the
people xt her captures. Probably
the most thrilling Incident of her
career was her escape from seven
English men-of-war, after an excit
ing chase of nearly three days and
nights. Tbe Chase began on July
17, 1812. The-Constrtution was out
for a long cruise, and was weighted
down with stores. Tbe sea was
calm and no wind was stirring.
Cupt. Hull put out his men in boats
to tow the ship. They pulled val
iantly, and as night cams on a
"kedge" anchor was run out half a
mile Ahead. The crew on tho ship
kept pulling on this, and the Brit
ishers didn't discover for a long timo
the secret. Finally the English saw
it and adopted tbe same tactics, and
by doubling up their crews began to
pull their famous ship Shannon near
-to the Constitution. A light breeze
sprang up andrsaved the American
ship for the time. There was a calm
the next day, aud the agonizing
struggle went on. The next night
another light breeze came up, and
the tired sailors obtained a little
sleep. The next day there came a
sharp breeze after many hours of
struggle. The Constitution trimmed
her sails to catch it, tbe boats
dropped back, and -tbe men were
.caught up as the ship gathered
headway. . The Guerriere, of the
English fleet, . came abeam as the
wind freshened and fired a broad
side, but the shots fell short, and the
Constitution's men ignored them,
and calmly went about straighten
ing up their vessel, as if they had
just left port, and Fuch a thing as
an enemy was unheard of.
