Checkmating the Devil j
i' Original.
A young man sat in a cafe tilting a
spoon on the efoge of a finger bowl. He
had finished his dinner and was smok
ing his cigar. His face was a picture
of despondency. A gentleman entered
the cafe, looked about for a vacant
table and, seeing none, seated himself
at the one occupied by the melancholy
man. The stranger dined, rinsed his
lips and fingers, wiped them with his
napkin and lit a cigar. The young maQ
still sat brooding.
"Pardon me," said the stranger. "You
seem distressed. Perhaps I may re:
lieve you."
There was a kindly, irresistible tone
In the voice, and step by step the
stranger won the 3'oung man's confi
dence till at last he confessed that the
cause of his distress was love.
"Unrequitted ?" asked the other.
"No; the girl's father will not con
sent." v
"That's bad, and she will she not
marry you without his permission?"
"No."
"H'm," said the stranger. "That's
doubly bad. It seems to me that your

"Oh, no one can convince him of any
thing. I wish I was as certain of one
thing as he is of everything."
The stranger called for a bottle of
wine and invited his .newly made ac
quaintance to join him. The latter
produced a card with the name George
Winchell on it. The stranger glanced
at it, but, whether from inadvertence
or intention, failed to respond with his
own card.
When the bottle was empty Winchell
ordered a duplicate, and, his mind be
ing on his obdurate would be father-in-law
and his tongue being loosened
by the wine, he told his companion
much about the old man's idiosyncra
sies. One feature seemed to interest
the stranger.
"He's got a picture hanging in his
library of the devil playing chess with
a young man for his soul. The devil
looks triumphantly at the young man,
on whose face is depicted despair. The
chessmen stand in such position that
no move can possibly save him from a
checkmate."
"How do you know that?" asked the
stranger.
"Because it is so. Mr. Granger, the
man I am talking about, has had nu
merous experts to look at the picture,
and they all say the devil must win in
four moves. I've studied it out my
self with the same conclusion. Here
is the board." And, taking out an old
letter and a -pencil, he laid down the
position of the pieces.
The stranger looked at the diagram
thoughtfully for a few minutes.
"Well," asked the young man, "don't
you see?"
"Yes, I see," said the other.
"I told yon the dtevil had him cor
nered." "Just as the owner of the picture
has you cornered," replied the stranger,
with a smile. "And now I am going
to bid you good night. All the world
loves a lover, and. you may be assured
that I love you. I wish I could help
you in your affair. By the bye, could
you secure me a look at the picture?"
"Certainly."
George Winchell, having obtained
from his sweetheart the necessary per
mission, called with his newly made
friend. They were ushered into the
library, and while there looking at the
picture Its owner entered.
"Are you sure," asked the stranger,
"that the youngrnan is beaten?"
"Perfectly," said Mr. Granger.
"I doubt it."
"Doubt it! Haven't I had a dozen or
more chess experts to make the matter
certain?"
. "I am sorry t disagree with them.":
"Do you .mean to tell me" began
Mr. Granger hotly, but the other inter
posed softly: ,
I can place the pieces as they are
placed in the picture and checkmate
the devil in five moves."
"Do it. Do it, I say. I'll give you
$10,000 if you do it in twenty moves."
"Pardon me. I do not care to take
your money."
"Then what in"
"I will tell you what I'll do. My
friend Mr. Winchell seeks your consent
to a union with your, daughter. I'll
checkmate the devil in five moves for
that consent."
"Ho marry my daughter! Not if I
know it!"
The stranger turned to leave.
"Hold on!" roared the old man. "I
agree to your proposition, but when
you have failed I'll kick you out of the
house."
"Done," said the stranger.
A chessboard was produced and the
pieces placed upon it as in the picture.
"Will you play for the devil?" asked
the stranger of Mr. Granger.
"With a growl the owner of the pic
ture sat in the required position. At
the moment Rose Granger, who had
been iistening without, opened the door
and entered. The stranger sat in the
seat opposite the devil. The moves be
gan, and in the promised number of
moves the stranger had checkmated his
adversary. The old man could not be
lieve his eyes.
"Checkmated!" cried George Win
chell, wild with joy.
"Checkmated!" came from Rose's
soft voice, while unobserved she press
ed her lover's hand.
"It can't be so!" cried the old man.
"There's some mistake. Replace the
men and do it again."
The stranger consented and again
checkmated his adversary. Granger
looked up and asked wonderingly:
"Who in thunder are you, anyway?"
"My name is Paul Morphy."

The Modern Dinner.
A medical journal complains that the
modern dinner has become an ex
tremely depressing affair and that, so
far from being a feast of reason and a
flow of soul, the conversation Is a mere
interchange of symptoms, details of
operations or the advantages of this or
that cure. Such topics evidently are
not provocative of remarks that set
the table in a' roar, nor do they tend
to promote the good digestion which
should wait on appetite. Indeed, there
is little appetite for digestion to wait
upon. The daintiest of menusls disre
garded when the diners are under a
regime, and courses pass untouched,
while powders are openly stirred into
wineglasses.

Lava may be blown into opaque bot
tles of gossamer lightness, and the
harder sort makes a beautiful green
glass of half the weight and double the
strength of ordinary glass. But It is
not always the same. Every volcano
pours out its own special brand of
molten mixture, disagreeable' to walk
on, but sometimes yielding precious
products, as pumice stone. Lava, like
all things, decomposes under the touch
of tim'eV as the fertile plains of Sicily
testify.
