Ghost That Was Banished
Resolution.
by
Carl Westerly left the - office at ' a
quarter., to 3 o'cl6ck. There seemed
not to be the" remotest -danger of an
estra that night,' and the telegraph
man had long since. sent In. his "30."
For some : reason or other Westerly
was more than ordinarily tired. Per
haps it was bis spirit that was weary.
He was tired of the endless and relent
less grind of newspaper work, tired
of the newspaper point of view, tired
of the whole round of life. He won
dered if men who had a. home knew
how blessed they were and thought,
with distaste, of his dismal room".
where ? his thoughts alone kept him
company. It was an uninviting room,
as any one who saw it must have con
fessed, for Westerly did not have the
trick of, domesticating himself as some
bachelors do. i
He was a bachelor indeed. He had
always lived in a womanless sort of
way. Sometimes it came across him
that he was missing the best part of
his life .in knowing nothing of them,
but he was shy and reverent, and it
a'ppeared to be his lot to dwell alone
and envy other men. So, what, with
loneliness and overwork and ennui; he
was not at bis best on this particular
night. No car was in sight, and he con
cluded that he had just missed the
hourly , horse car which took belated
workers homeward after the cable had
ceased its buzzing for the day; so he
started out to walk. He loitered for a
time," half hoping some vehicle ' might
come in sight, but the streets seemed
deserted.. So, after- pausing a moment
to adaiire the sinister picturesqueness
of the Chicago . river with the lights
gleaming upon its murky waters from
masthead and high window, he started
to cross the bridge. .; .
A distant clock struck 3, and Wester
ly, aroused by it-from his reverie, look
ed up to see a man Just before him a
man who seemed to have come up out
of the solid planks of the bridge. He
wore a hat well back on his bead and
showed a long, horselike face, with a
hooked nose and one blind eye. About
him was a cape such as men wear over
their evening clothes. All his garments
were of a fine cut "and quality, but
worn with a noticeable negligence.
It was exceedingly curious,' but asJ
Westerly approached this man he felt
a fear of him not such a fear as one
may be excused for feeling at meeting
a stranger In an unlikely . place at a
late hour, but a fear of the nerves. It
seemed to him that if, by any chance,
that man were to touch . him he would
faint. " He - moved as far away from
him as the limits of the footpath would
permit," and passed him hastily, a cold
ness stealing along bis veins as he did
so. The. man merely smiled In a sar
donic fashion, lifting the eyebrow of
the blind eye and dropping one corner
of his mouth. It was an indescribable
smirk and filled Westerly with" aver
sion. ,-.
To the newspaper mat's unspeakable
annoyance the man followed him along
the streets to his home, and after; he
was in his room he peered out of the
window and saw him standing on the
sidewalk looking up. Actually . it
seemed to him that he must shriek
aloud for protection from this silent
man. But he controlled . himself and
went to bed and. slept after a time;
The next night he confessed to some
apprehension i as he' approached the
bridge, and he looked" out anxiously for
his dread companion of the night be
fore. - lie was not to be seen any
where. But At about the center of the
bridge there hewas. looking at West
erly with that one haunting eye. Again
he grinned. Again he followed Wester
erly to his house and again be stood
without and stared up at the window.
This went on . for nearly.; three
months.; If by any chance the young
editor went home later or earlier than
3, he had the privilege of going his way
alone but if the hour was 3 the man
was there, watchful and. sardonic and
silent as the tomb. At times Westerly
thought of addressing him, but when
ever he strove to do so his tongue clove
to the roof of his mouth.,' He evaded
him at times by changing the hour of
his ; homegoing or. by riding on the
street car, but somehow he was Insist
ently drawn back to - the " bridge and
.the Three o'Clock Man, as he denom
inated him. ne sometimes wondered
if he would 'Bee the man upon the
bridge if be were to pass in 'a car, but
as no car went at that hour he was
not to know, ' .
It chanced that better times came to
Westerly and that they - came, .quite
suddenly. He was given a more satis
factory position, which would involve
a pleasing change of hours, and he also
"discovered that' Elsa Sessions, the girl
who did the book reviews and who had
eyes several degrees bluer "than the
Italian heavens, was not a verse, to his
society. But there is no need to go
Into that.1 The point is, he found out
these two gratifying matters hi one
day and, walking home in a state of
considerable exultation, noticed the
Three o'clock Man with less impa
tience than usual. .
"Our acquaintance is ended, my un
canny friend," he thought.' "Tomor:
row you may keep tryst, but I will not
I will, walk abroad at Christian hours
and leave you to your unholy habits."
Thinking these things, .he passed the
creature, arid it seemed to him that the
smirk on his face was even more than
-usually offensive.' V - .:
So sure was- he that the nn welcome
acquaintance with; this man was over
that he did not -even look f roni his win
cow that night to 6ee if he were wnteTf
ing, but, putting out his IighfX threw
himself in his bed with more of happi
ness in bis mood than be bad known
for years. He .fell into a light slumber,
from whlc-h he was arousud by the Im
pression that some one was looking at
him. lie opened hist eyes and stared
Into the gloom, a gloom not a little
mitigated by a street lamp across the
street, which, owing to the lifted shade,
shone clearly Into the room.
The feeling that some ojie was look
ing at him grew to a certainty even be
fore Westerly's sleep weighted eyes be,
held the tall and careless figure of the
Three o'Clock M;n standing by his
bed. - If the man bad been repugnant
to him before, he seemed hideous now.
He seemed to convey some horrible
threat by his presence- .What was it?
Madness? -
Westerly gave It no words, but he
felt the moment had come for libera
tion. He determined tomake a su
preme effort' to free himself. Failing,
he was convinced that he would be for
evermore in the presence of this fear
ful guest. So, with an effort that took
the blood from his' beart and brought
the drops out upon his skin. Westerly
raised himself, staring unflinchingly at
the Three o'Clock Man, Tose from his
bed and slowly advanced. The advance
is slow In the face of a cruel enemy,
but it; Is sometimes certain. It was
certain with Westerly. Inch by inch
they went on, facing each other, the
man backing. Westerly advancing, ev
ery muscle set, every nerve strained,
brain and soul and mind fixed on vic
tory. Across the room they went, hat
ing each other more every passing sec
ond and showing their hate on their
distorted faces, wrestling as men may
not wrestle with their muscles till the
creature went out of the side .of the
room faded from Westerly's 6ight. He
was gone. By some great, comfortable
knowledge " Westerly knew him.- gone
forever. Hardly conscious, he sank
upon his bed, panting like one who has
been in a frantic race or fight.
I must tell Elsa Sessions,"; he re
membered thinkingas he sank off into
a blurred condition, half fainting, half
Bleeping. "But, after all," he reflected
the next morning, "she will never be
lieve me. Perhaps I would better keep
the strange matter of the Three o'Clock
Man quite to himself." r '.
Which he did. So it must have been
the Three o'Clock Man who told. Chi

Uabel'a Little Sister.
When yon have wanted a little sis
ter very, very badly and when the
little sister finally arrives, yon are apt
to love her far better than anybody
else could possibly love her, even your
father and mother. Mabel was 7 years
old "before the long wished for little
sister arrived. The first rapture of real
ly ha ving her was dampened somewhat
by the incessant crying of the baby.
For herself Mabel didn't mind. Anyr
thing the baby did was perfect, but,
olv would the others, who couldn't, of
course, worship "little sister" the way
Mabel did, get tired of It? One day
when the baby had almost screeched
her little head off, and all In that Incon
sequent way of babies, Mabel went to
her mother in the first lull and begged
absolution.
'Yon don't mind -her crying so very
much, do you. mamma?" she said ear
nestly. "She's so little, you know, and
she can't help It yet, really and truly
she can't." Please, please put up with
it for my sake.. And, oh, mamma.
no matter how hard she cries yon won't
now promise me you won't, mamma
send her away!" New York Sun.
A Long Way Round.
What is the most roundabout jour
ney that the absence of proper steam
ship, communication entails on the in
habitants of any country? Surely it
must be that described by our consul
at Loanda, Portuguese West Africa.
If one of the 6,000 whites of Angola or
1,700 Europeans in the Kongo Inde
pendent State, who so frequently need
change of climate, wishes to spend a
week or two In Cape Town which
should lie, even by slow steamer, only
six days distant he has to travel 3,000
miles -from Loanda-to Madeira, catch
there a Cape steamer and journey for
another fortnight : the -4,800 miles to
Cape Town. It thus needs fully a
month's continuous traveling and 7,000
mires of it to reach a point only l.COO

Warmth of Birds' Blood. .
The blood of birds offers some data
for thought not foundMn the blood at
any other class of animals. The blood
corpuscles are shaped differently, be
ing oval Instead of round. But this Is
not the difference -to which I refer.
Birds' blood Is several'degrees warmer
than7 that of other animals. To man
such a temperature of the blood as
birds possess would be a fever. . This
high ' temperature causes molecular
changes Jn the tissues and brain to take
place more rapidly, which would cause
the consumption - of more food, and
brain activity would be more Intense,
so that for the same amount of work a
smaller brain would meet all the re
quirements, which at a lower tempera
ture would require one of greater size.

SIXTEENTH CENTURY.
THE
Patlenta Cast Inta V.'ella to Care
" Conversion A. Ladder ld la Set
tlns n Dislocated Shoulder Dead
Bodies 3lc.de Iato Medicine.-
A fragment of a curious volume has
fallen Into the hands of a local physi
cian which graphically describes the
methods of surgery of several centmiea
ago. When It is considered that anaes
thetics were unknown In those ancient
days, the modus operandi of the sur
geon of The sixteenth century- nxust ap
pear startliugly cruel In the 'light of
the present day. : . .
The work is that of Ambrose Parey,
who to 1579, being then the much fa
mous "chirurgiou" of his day. publish
ed a bulky volume which became such
an established authority and held Its
place for so. long a time that 70 years
afterward it was translated Into Eng
Hsb and published In London.
In bis first book he considers the gen
eral phenomenon of the body In health
and disease, and in the chapter relat
ing to temperaments and humors he.
writes, "Ah humor Is called by physi
cians what thing soever Is liquid and
flowing in the body of living creatures
Inclosed with bldod." Proceeding to
the "manifold divisions of humors,"
he separates them Into four parts, dis
tinct In color, taste; effects and quali
ties namely, blood, phlegm, cholerand
melancholy. Exact in bis subdivisions,
he says: "All merr ought to think that
such humors are wont to move at boH
hours of tbe day as by a certain pe
culiar motion or tide. Therefore, the
blood flows from tbe ninth hour of the
night to the third hour of the day;
choler to the ninth of . the day. Then
melancholy the blood flows from ihe
ninth hour of the night Is" under the
dominion of phlegm."
Equally curious Is tbe following ou
spirits, which he divides Into "anl
mall." "vitair and "naturaU.-"
"The animal spirit hath taken, bis
seat in the brain. It Is called animal
because It is tbe life, but tbe chief and
prime Instrument thereof. Wherefore
it bath a most subtle and aery sub
stance. This animal spirit is made
and harbored In tbe windings and fold
ings of the veins and arteries of tbe
brain, brought thither sometimes of
the pure air or sweet vapor drawn In
by the nose 'in breathing. The vital
spirit is next to It in dignity and ex
cellency, which bath Its chief mansion
-in the left ventricle of the heart. The
natural spirit. If such there be any.
hath its station in the liver and veins.'
Describing "certain juggling and de
ceitful ways of healing of cures by
6uch means as fear, surprise and even
by music for spider bite, tbe music
causing tbe patient to dance so lustily
that be shakes all the poison out of bis
system." he sums up some of those
heroic remedies thus: "1 would not
cast the patient headlong out of a
window, but would rather cast them
sodainly. and thinking of no such
thing, into a great cistern filled with
cold water, with their beads foremost.
Neither would I take them out until
they bad drunk a good quantity of
water, that by that sodaln fall and
strong fea'r the matter causing the
frenzy might be carried from above
downward from tbe noble parts to the
Ignoble." .
. A medicine upon which be dilates at
great length is "muramle." referred to
as tbe usual remedy for contusions,
and he describes it as follows:
"Mummie is a. liquor flowing from
the aromatick embalmens of dead bod
ies, which becomes dry and hard" and
being ground Into medicine was "ad
ministered either In whole or portion
to such as have fallen from high
places,. the first and List medicine of
almost all our practitioners at this day
in such a case."
-He ahso gives some grewsome facts
connected with .the preparation of
"mummie" when be says: "Certain of
oar French apothecaries, men won
drous audacious and covetous to steal
by night the bodies of such as were
hanged and embalming them with salt
and drugs they dried them In an oven
bo as Jo sell them thus adulterated In
stead of true mummie, whereupon we
are thus cbnijHdled. both foolishly and
Cruelly, to-, devour the . mangled and
putrid particlesof the carcasses of the
basest people of Egypt, or of such as
are hanged, as though tliere were no
other way to help or recover one bruis
ed with a fall from a high place.
' "I hare not thought it fit In this
place," he says, "to omit the Industry
of Nicholas Picart, the Duke of Guise,
bis surgeon, who, being called to a cer
tain countryman to set bis shoulder,
being out of joint, and finding none in
the place besides tbe patient and his
wife, who might assist him In this
work, he put the patient, bound after
the foreraentioned manner, to a ladder.
then Immediately be tyed a staff e at
the lower end of tbe ligature, which
was fastened about the patient's arm
above bis elbow, then put It so tyed un
der one of the steps of tbe ladder as
low as he could and got astride there
upon and sate thereon. with his whole
weight and at tbe same Instant .made
bis wife plu,k tbe stool from under bis
feet.' which, being done, the bone pres
ently came into its place." -
1 He alpo gravely discusses witches
and witchcraft, the birth of monsters
with horns, hoofs and wings, ascribing
their birth to the master of evil, and
closes with a lofty panegyric upon Hip
pocrates and Galen, the princes of phy
sicians. Cincinnati Enquirer.

"WelL In tbe first place, because we
look upon men who come here as gen
tlemen and treat them accordingly. 1
don't remember just how the account
In question was opened, but usually It
Is done In this way: Some day. after a
man receives bis check, be scrawla hla

er, 'I'll pay this tomorrow; It's all
right,' and then If the person In charge
at the desk marks It'O. IC tbe check U

with tbe man. w
"Id most Instances the man comes
back, as be said be would, ibi next
day and 'settles, his little bill and
thanks us for accommodating him. If,
however, the man Intends to work he
house, be does not come back the next
day and settle, but waits three or four
days. - Then he drops In and orders. a
modest luncheon or a not elaborate
dinner and scribbles bis name across
the check, gives the waiter a tip. and
the new account receives Its first ad

but never by any really large charge,
and when at last the man baa a little

tbe account Is already so large that It
would be poor- policy to turn It down.
"When the account has grown ao

many words be Is given to understand
that cash would be preferred to an

SHELVED HIS INVENTION.

Meebaaleal Cspert a Less o a.
One of tbe best mechanical tc;SoTS
In New Orleans toJJ an UncrvsUoj
ttory apropos of the ttibuLttlons of In
ventors. "About thrve yrars a so." he
said, "I got np a little dcvlc lLat
greatly a!tnp!I3el the working of ' a
certain type of pump. I took out
patents that cost me la the neighbor
hood of J3J0, Including attorney's fc, I
and Coal su'i!tted the thins to a '
VIr manufacturing concern In lUo '
north. " The proprietors at once con- I
ceded the merit of tbe Invention and
offered me iZM down tnd a royalty of
$125 on each one used. Tbe cash pay
ment amounted to nothing, for It really
fell abort cf covering my time and ex
penses, but tbe royalty was generous,
and I figured tt out that It would yield
me an Income &f $3,000 or $1,000 for
several years perhaps longer. It de
pended on bow soon something Sxttcr
entered the field.
"Accordingly. I accepted tbe propoal
tion and transferred all my rlLL, Now,
how much do yoa think I actually re
ceived? Not a penny! No, t haven't
been cheated; at least, all the account
have been perfectly straight. Tt
trouble Is tbey never put the device on
the market, Tbey simply ttuck the
patents and drawings In a pigeonhole
and there tbey remain to this day.
"Wby did tbey do It. did yoa ask? To
save money. The public Is very well
suited with their pump as it stands,
and It Is doubtful If they could get any
more for It with my Improvement add
ed. Such a step v ould merely cat down
the net profit, so they prefer to let well 1
enough alone. It was necessary, of
course, to get my Invention safely
shelved, or It might have been taken
cp by some enterprising rlvaL and the
only earthly reason for spending $,V
on tbe thing waa to put it out of tbe
way. It was rather rough on me. to
be sure, but tbe experience waa valu
able, and I won't get caught that way
again." New Orleans Times-Democrat
