I was pastor of a church in Weymouth. ,Two of my most devoted helpers were Mr, and Mrs. Koster. The husband ap peared to be Indelicate health, and had Insured his life. , About So'clock one morning my servant awoke me. - ' "Please, sir, Dr. Woodrey is below, and he says can ho boo you very particularf" Woodrey was very grave, and I saw at it glanee something was wrong. "What Is it?" lasted. ' "I want you to' com o and see Mrs. Kos ter. She U a widow, A damson." . "Impceslblo!' I exclaimed. ; . "I have Just left the house," he said. "I waa summoned about an hour ago. As we went along the girl told me her story, i " 'Master's took like death itsStf, sir. hoard missus soroam, and I jumped up, ttbiafcing burglars had broken In. Then missus screamed again, "Oh, Kudolphl" find I ran down stairs and saw missus standing over master, who looked lik? death, and then I enmo running for you, sir.' ' ' i "I should nay lie had been dead quite 20 .minutes when 1 got there. As I could do inothlng,.I came for you." - ' . "What ia the causo of death?" "Heart disease, though I did not think l ho other day that it was likely to prove fatal. We must spare Mrs. Koscer ine worry of an iuqucst." I went at onco to eco Mrs. Koster and 'found her lying numb and helpless, a pic ture of desolation and despair, and aotn jlng I could say seemed to comfort her. She had no relatives in England. He (mother and sister lived in Germany. Her husband had always expressed a wish to 'be burled In Stuttgart, his native town, and she meant to carry out his wishes, t At her request I wrote to the insurance, 'ofllcofor her. giving them all necessary liiarticnlars. niSl the following day an offl- 'cial named Wolland came down. The next day he telegraphed to me privately that the check would be sent from, tne omca that nisht. ; A few days later she wrote.from Stutt gart to tell me sho had arrived safely and thanking mo for my Kindness, xwo es ters passed between us after that, and then I heard no moro of her, and three years later I left Weymouth for a living In one of the poorer quarters of Manchester. One November day I was passing down Oldham street, whon I had a great shook. I There was a thick yellow fog, and I could only see a yard or so around me. Sudden-, ly a man passed, and in the gloom X had but a moment's glimtise of him. I stopped dead, completely unnerved, ioi the long face, tho blue eyes and stooping shoulders were those of my dead parish ioner. Mr. Koster. . - After some cogitation I Tesoired to visit my clerical brethren in the city, taking with me photos of Mr. and Mrs. Koster, to inquire if they had such a couple among their parishioners. ' For four days all in quiries were fruitless, but on the fifth my efforts wero rewarded. . I called on' the vicar of St. Mary's parish, tho Rev. James Lasher, whom I had met several times. "I have called to see," I said, "if you recognize this as the photo of one of yout parishioners, "handing him noster's pnoto. 'Certainly 1 do. Why, it 19 Mr. Mel lorv. What" "There Is a deep mySJwy, " I said. "Will you tell me what you know of them?" I cannot tell you much. Meuory came to the town last autumn with his wife and settled in the parish. They are of independ ent means, and Mellory is. rather deli- cate." 'And has Mr. Mellory insured his lifer" ' Yes, ' ' said Mr. Lasher, rather surprised at my question..- "He Insured only a fort night ago. iio was averse to the step, out Mrs. Mellory got me to use my Influence with him, and after some demur he yield ed. But how do you know all this? Has :he been to you about it?" "I will not answer for a moment." I said, "but I will prophesy. In a few weeks' time When you are visiting them Mrs. Mellory will tell you that her hus band is unwell, and she is worried because bo refuses to see a doctor, and she will ask you to reason with him. After the doctor has attended him for a week or two you will be sent for. Mr. Mellory has died suddenly in tho night, and the widow ia prostrated. As Mr. Mellory's friends live in Germany the widow will take the corpse '.these, and you will part from her with re- igret." . It was two months ixrtetfvtny nrst visit to Lasher that I heard that Mellory was ill. The same procedure had been gone through with as with mo. Lasher had used his per suasive powers on the patient and had rec ommended Dr. Symons. Dr. Symons attended him three weeks. and then Mellory died again. Lasher sent note begging me to call upon him at tonce. , 'He's dead this morning," he said whtfh I had joined him. "Dead! Not simulated death, for I saw him." That evening we went to the doctor and together told him what we knew. I think, gentlemen, you are under a delusion. I saw the corpse this morning. And there is no doubt whatever." "Fray hear me,'! I said. "I made the same mistake. A brother practitioner of yours granted a death certificate, and here is the man dead again. . If I may suggest, doctor. I should say go to the widow and tell her that you must make a postmortem examination, and wait for developments. in an hour they returned with grave land troubled faces. "There has been a violent scene," said Lasher, "and she ab solutely refuses to allow anything of the kind. What are we to dor" 1 "You can withhold your certificate," I said to the doctor, "and then an Inquest will be necessary." They asked me to accompany them to the house to see. if my presence would pre cipitate matters. "I consent on one condition," I said, which is that we take a police inspector with us." Yes, it was Mrs. Koster; I saw that at a c lance. I was in the backeronnd. and .she did not eeo me at first. "I have brought friend with me," said uubuut, auu aii uia& i srappoa iorwaru. "Good evening, Mrs. Koster." I said. She recognized me onthe instant, but even on that sudden assault she had com mand of herself. She suppressed a shriek, and white as the corpse up stairs said: "I do not know you, sir. There is some mis take." . , "Oh, yes, you do, Mrs. Koster, alias iMellory," I said. "I assisted at Wey mouth, you know. The police wait out side." She was clown on her knees in an in stant, beseeching and imploring and prom ising. But I was adamant and called in the inspector and in a few words made him acquainted with the charge. They were sentenced, the man to 15, the woman to 10 years' penal servitude. That is nearly 14 years ago, and I have not' hoard anything of my interesting- parish ioners since. Tit-Bits. " A Horrible Story of the Sea. - One of t-l.e mosf growHomo tales dug up out of tho i:tity past is that told by the York (Me.) Cmrant of tho wreck of the Nottingham Galley on Boon island. This vessol, which was bound to Boston from London, was driven on the island in a ter rible gale on the night of Deo. 11. 1719. Tho weather was so dreadful that some of the sufferers soon died. There was nothing to cat but shreds of rawhide, rockweed and a fow mussels. After a few days two of the men attempted to get to York on i rait, Dut were drowned. At last the hnn- ger of tho survivors became so rasins thai .they ate somo of the flesh of their dead comrades, and, having no fire, must per force swallow this raw. Immediately their dispositions, which hod been kind and helpful, seemed to undenro atotalchAnm.. Instead of praying they began to swear and quarrels commenced. At last, after S3 flays of this horrible life, they were i cued, being then mere skeletons and una ble to walk. A lighthouse was erected on the island in 1811. .

"Thoro waa a fow years ago," Said Ma jor Hotchkiss, "a man at Badger Book, Mon.. who -joyed in calling himself Wild cat Bilk; the Rattlesnake of Bender's .Flat. Not that that was his name, of course, or that his namowas Bill or even William, or that, go far as I know, ho had ever seen a wildcat or would have known o rattle snake if ho hod met one, and I am certain thero was nonsuch placo as Bender's Flat, but this Is what he-was pleased to call himself. In point of fact, his name was Ernest Wilbcrfcrco or something of that sort, and ho camo originally from Baldins ville, Conn., or some such mild, wildcat- less and nonrattlesnake neighborhood. "His finances became reduced, and the time caino when something had to be done. Bo determined to tnko up the vocation of desperado in a purely commercial way. It is unnecessary to Kay that lie had never ' shot a man or shot at a man or shot in the direction of where any inan or other mem ber of the human race was or had been or expeotod to bo. Indeed you couldn't prove It by mo that he bad ever snos on a gun or knew a trlggor from a cajootory. Badg er Book waa at that tlmo a small town en- eogod chiefly In the business of transfer ring people from the railroad station to the stages which ran to certain gold and silver mines. A great many eastern people. capitalists and so forth, passed through it, bttt few staid in the plaoe more than a few . hours. . ' "One day. a half hour before the train from the east was due, the clerk of the hotel was astonished to see this man enter clad in most striking cowboy costume, wearing a belt with two revolvers and a kntf e in it and carrying a heavy, ' double barreled shotgun with the barrels sawed oft, so that - they were not snore than a foot long, mak ing a weapon such as Is sometimes affected by desperate characters, treasure coach guards, -deputy sheriffs or other individuals engaged in turning their hands against their fellow men. . - "It is a piece of ordnance whioh is sup posed to bo loaded with inordinate charges of powder and Irregular slugs of lead. It makes - an excellent-- companion for one gentleman to wait around the corner with for another gentleman who has been telling about town that ho (tho first gentleman) is a liar. . ' "To the surprised inquiries of the hotel clerk, Wilberforco explained that he was now Wildcat Bill, - the Rattlesnake of Bender's Flat, and that all he asked was the simple privilege of waiting behind the half open door of the office for Pete Smith of Fatchen's ranch.' The clerk bad never heard any of these names before, but as there was no rule against it he consented. "It was not long before the train ar rived and an elderly and correct appear ing man alighted and made bis way to ward the hotel. He was, in fact, a prom inent Boston capitalist, and this was his first trip to the somewhat extensive region west of the Connecticut river. As he en tered the door of the hotel his eye caught the muzzle of the shotgun, with its two cavernous shafts, apparently about the size of sewer pipe, which projected an inch be yond the edge of the open door. A glance behind showed a most murderous individ ual, breathing -short and with his finger moving nervously on both triggers. The Boston mab stepped quickly to the clerk ' and whispered: " 'Who who is that man?' " 'That's Wildcat Bill, the Rattlesnake of Bender's Flat,' answered the clerk. " 'What what Is he doing?' " 'Waiting for Pete Smith of Patchon's ranch,' replied the clerk. " 'Will will he shoot him?' " 'He will blow him into pieces, unless Peto shoots first.' " 'Is the the gentleman expected soon?' went on the man from-the Hub. " 'Pete comes in at 2:45 for a drink.' "The visitor . consulted his watch and found it was 8:80. " ,'Is there no way to stop such a terrl- blo thing?' he Inquired earnestly. "The clerk shook his head. 'No.' he replied. 'Bill has shot 23 men, and you see he's got a throe cornered file in his mouth now to file the twenty-third notch In his six shooter after he gets through with Peto. But,' added the clerk confi dentially, 'perhaps he could be hired to postpone the operation for a few hours, say till after you have left for the mines.' "The upshot of it was that for $10 the Rattlesnake agreed not to shoot Pete till after 5 o'clock, and the Boston man again drew a fall breath. . "Naturally so easy and rapid a way of making money could not be left unculti vated, and Wildcat Bill became a regular thing behind the hotel door at traintime. He divided profits with the clerk, and they did a thriving business. His terms for consenting to postpone temporarily the awful slaughter of his enemy varied from $5 to $50, according to the means or terror of the subject. Only one attempt proved a total., failure. This was in the caeo of a rollicking youth from Louisville, who sat down and announced that he was going to wait and see the fun. Ho was finally tired out by tho Inexplicable failure of Pete Smith to arrive. "Tho game was kept up several years and would perhaps have been still going on had it not been for an unfortunate acci dent. One day a man came into the office with a black ebony cane. Having a valise in cither hand, ho was carrying this cane in a horizontal position under his arm When tho end of it poked around the door, Wildcat Bill, the Rattlesnake of Bender's Flat, mistook it for the muzzle of some sort of a weapon, uttered an agonized cry, dropped his own gun, leaped through a window and ran a half mile for safety. It unnerved him to such an extent that he never returned to bis profession and final ly dropped out of sight." True Flag. THE CABINET OF 1886. Sir James Stannfield Gives Reminiscence of Gladstone's Flsht. In a 6ketch of Sir James Stansfield, in Tho Review of Reviews, Mr. W. T. Stead quotes Stansfield on some very in teresting points with regard to tho Glad stone cabinet cf 183G and the secession oi the Unionh-tsfroni tho Liberal party. Tfct veteran fitr.tLsman says: " " Trovclyau left tho cabinet. Mr. Glad stone sent for mo. I did cot want to go, but ho pressed me. We talked matters over. I said, 'Chamberlain and Trevelyan havo left you, and beforo I can join tht cabinet I must ask the causo of their resig nations. I don't want to come in and then bave to leave.' Iio assented. But it ended this way, that 1 put my views into writ ing and left it to him to dctcrmino wheth er I should join or cot, and he decided tc takomeln. Tbe Unionists, in my opin ion, ought never to havo left the Liberal party. If they had determined to remain, they could havo tied Mr. Gladstone's hands. He would Lave been compelled to retain them in his cabinet; the Instinct oi the primo minister would have been tc keep the cabinet together. It was a great tactical mistake in my view to vote against the second reading of the bilL" . Sir James Stansfield Is one of the oldest members of parliament. Ho has sat con tinuously for 36 years. The following re marks, therefore, on what he thinks of the house are specially Interesting: - "Parliament used to be considered tht best club In Europe, but now a great many people have no desire to get into parlia ment. There Is .too much work, with nothing to show for it, and they are wor ried by their constituents. In the old dayi we had many more full dress debates and much less worry. There were many splen did speakers; but there was no one equal to Gladstone, or anything like him. Bright was not really a debater. In this new par liament there are a greater number oi good speakers , than in any parliament In which I have been. You do not have so much full dress debating, because that if not the fashion today." . The Whitest City In the World. There cannot possibly be a whiter" city uian iaaiz, unless it De Dulltol snow.
