Cleopatra had evidently writi.'ii two letters to this unknown jiervn, w!i had obstinately refused to kmsV(.-i-them. Courtesy alone would have demanded some aekuowledgnu . nt .l them, however formal.

In any case, it wa.i hand some of her to make au acknowledg ment of my interest in her aft'iiirs. I could hardly wait for tho next rooming to come. Tho moment the paper arrived I turned to the adver tising page. It was there. Theo dore had been aroused to answer. This waa a token of his existence : MlCBAKfs-Do not meddle with wlmt i'.uc not concern yon.

There was something iu that, and as I had had the last word I was sat isfied. I looked upon the whole affaires dead and buried when sgijv n . ys later tho name Michuel caught my eye in the advertinirg column. Was it intended for moor fur sisuii other Michael i A second glance ce sured me. It ran : Mlchaot Is eariMtktly eutreutnl to tend h i address to Ci.lopaiha. Honi! That was something to ba thrush t nUmL Might it Lot be a tri'i whi; h was set for inot To bidco r: him ly liis advertisement, this ; Theodore was a surly, cantankerous j fellow, who n:ight want to find mv address to make a perronal attack npoii meor perhaps bend mo a chal-l.-;igo for a duel. I am opposed to dueling on princi ple. I prefer any time a dozen oys t; ts to a shot in tho leg or a thrust with a isinall sword. What should I do? The advertisement was certainly nininl "Cleopatra" and courtesy de manded some kind of answer. I would not follow the Chinese method and wait a month, 60 I answered that my address might be obtained of the editor. A morning or two later, while sit ting at breakfast, my old housekeep- j er iiitormcu me tuat a laay wished to seo me. "Is the young?" I asked. "Yes." "Pretty?" "Yea." "Clear the table, then, and let her pome in." I hurried into my sleep ing room to brush the hair over the bald place on the top of my head, slipped on a black coat in which I am assured I look tolerably well and hurried back again. When I re entered the room, a ravishiugly beautiful young lady, whom I .' :d never before seeft, stood before me. "Sir," she began in a soft voice, in which there was an anxious sound, "forgivo this intrusion on the part of a stranger, but" Here she made a slight pause. I pushed forward an armchair. "Please be seated. There is not the slightest need of an apology. I'm charmed, I'm sure." Her eyes until now had been cast down. Now she raised them and looked me full in tho face. What eyes! Black, with blond hair. Ik there any combination more magnifi cent; "2Jr. Michael," she began, "I an not altogether unknown to you." "No, certainly not," I stammered, "certainly not. I I believe I have li.nd tho pleasure" I looked at her closely. I was ly iti" . 1 ..vir si-en her l-foro. You meant to do me a good" rk, even if you f iile-f " V xNh'-m had I ;.tlU!ipe.'

They burned t i the very marrow of my soul. "Why, my dear young lady," I burst forth, "I should be worse than a barbarian if I did not place my heart and myself at your dis. .o; ; l.

Could it be possible that this charming young crature had a Chinese lover? Women have all sorts of tastes, however. Eut, then, v.-1'iit had I to do with itf Why should she confide in mef But 1 put a 1oM face upon it. "Jealous! That is too ridiculous. You must convince him that ho ia mi-taken." "Eut I cannot. Mr. Michael, you are tho only one that can bring him to his senses. You must call qiihui njMl..r.tiain. "Perhaps he will then hstcn to reason." Cold chills ran over me at the thought. To put myself into the hands of this Chineso Othello. To risk my head between the jaws of the lion. To explain a matter of which I was thoroughly ignorant to heathen foreigner mad with jeal ousy. No. My willingness to be come a martyr did not extend so far as that. "My dear madam," I stammered, "nothing would give me more pleas ure, but my professional duties occu py "every moment of my timo from morning until night" "But you cannot refuse mo," she pleaded. "You can take time enough for that, dear, good Mr. Michael!" And she caught my hand and pat ted it lileo a child. I could resist no longer. I declared myself ready. ; "Thanks; oh, thanks!" "Where does he livef" I asked firmly. I felt that moment like one of tho old knights who were about to 1 go out to fight dragons, j "Iu Powderhouse street, No. 17. j You can't mistake it It is on the ' right hand side of the street and tho first door to the left as you enter." Powderhouse street The name sounded ominous. At 10 o'clock the next morning I prepared myself for the fight After a long walk I reached the street My heart beat so it could be heard when I stepjKjd into the hall of tho house where the monster dwelt ! The first door to tho left Thi3 was it. At the farther end of the j parage was a servant with a dustpan j and brush. I "Here!" I called to him in a loud I voice. "Can you tell me if the Chi- 1 iie.se is at hornet" I wa3 standing just in front of tLo door, and as I spoke it flew violently opon. r::d th. lra r:i ytoo-l before I r;: :?:! fc':ii hands mee!ianie;dl y tu L r luvt from springing at nythro.it. It was the instinct of svlf pi ix rvatki!. Tht n I looked him in the eve. My hands : droped. j "What, Damiau :" j "Michael:" J For five long years I had neither ! heard from nor seen my old sclux.il- j fellow, and here he had dropped upon me, or rather I had dropped i upon him, from the clouds. We sluxk j each other's hands till they ached. "But what in the world are you do- i ing hero, and where have you been : all these years, Damiauf" j "That is a long story to tell, Mi- I chael. I have been iu America." j "In America? Truly? You must tell me all about it. Isn't there a cafe near hero where we can have a chat?" j Suddenly I remembered my mis- i sion. j "But not just yet," I tried. "I have a disagreeable task to perform first It wai a lucky mistake, my go ing to the wrong dxr first, for I found you. I was told tho first door to the left. I say, old fellow, do you know whether there is a Chinese liv- j ing in the building,'" "A Chinese? Why, wliat should a ' Chinese do here :" "Well, that's what I really don't know myself. All h I have prom ised to find him, and I expect to have my throat cut for my good nature. I haven't the slightest idea what I have to say to him. It is to oblige a young woman whose name I don't know and whom I never saw but once." Damian shook his head and looked at me with a curious glance. Terrible to die so young, isn't itf" with a weak attempt to encourage myself by a joke. My friend paid no attention to what I was saying. He was looking over my shoulder toward thr dxr. Are you convince! now; mm a voice behind me. "Do you now l . lieve I hav told the truth, Theo- j doref" J Theodore, and that vokt! It was' that of my unknown visitor of the j day before. Theodore! Where had ' I hoard that name before? , l haV' not the slightest idea what yoi; m :in," replied my friend ' coldly. "All I know is that I have just accidentally met au old school rriiirnrl " "That is splendid!' Sho clapped her hands joyously. "But why are you staring at me so strangely, Mr. Michael ;"' "Because I really don't know what to say. I haven't yet found your Chinese." "The Chinese'." aiid my unknown laughed heartily. "Why, the Chi nese stands before you Theodore !" "Cleopatra P Ah, ha! Theodore! Cleopatra! The light began to break in upon me. "That infernally impudent Michnel in tlie advertisement was you, then?" said my friend. "And you, Damian, were" "For heaven's sake, don't call me Damian again. I tin ppcd that name in America, years ago. I am Theo dore now." "Well, Theodore, I ttko lack tho Chinese, but you must acknowledge your mistake in saj ing that it was Michael who ran after the comet" "If it will bo of any comfort to you, certainly. It whs very likelv Timothy." "Well, in any cae. lot v.3 forgive and forget, and now for a couple of bottles of Rndesheimer." Tho champaie was brought, and we sat down to it around the little table in Theodore's room. The whole -naiEter was, nine ij June. en-.4itt uu. "I am curious to know one thing, Theodore." said I. "Why did you let the charming Cleopatra lieg in vain for an answer for a whole week? That wasn't at all like j-ou." "You are forcing my hand, Michael, but I will tell you. All this wholo long week I have been held by the po lice on tho charge of disturbing the peace. You see, I was going home one night after u late supper, where I had drank too much, and that was because of our little quarrel." Here he nodded at Cleopatra. "I wasn't in the best humor, and, for the matter of that neither was the watchman whom I met on the way home. He insisted on my going along quietly, and I insisted on sing ing, and the end of it was that he took me to the watchhouse. For seven long days I sat there, deter mined not to pay my fine, growling to myself and thinking of Cleopatra, who is to blame for the whole of it I might have been sitting there now if a third part- had not thrust his nose into the business and made me jealous." "Then I really have you to thank for his coming back, after all, you dear, good Mr. Michael !" And Cleopatra rose from her chair and came round to my side of the tablo. "Shall I?" she asked, looking at Theodore. "Certainly,'" said he, laughing, and a kiis from her soft hps burned on lay cheek. Tho wedding came oS three weeks later, and to keep up the joke that hail brought r.s together I sent them for a present an elegant Chinese pa goda for the mantel. Since that time I have never mixed myself up in newspaper com spond ence. Translated From the Danish For Short Stories. ULU VVUHLU bAllLtS. Tho EsaruiMi Lon of Life la Some of tho Great Engagements. At Mollwitz the Prussians lost 18 percent; the Austrians. 28 por cent At Koliu I roderick'a forces suffered to the extent of S7 per cent, while his victory cost his enemies only 14 per cent At Zorndorf, the bloodiest battle of which we have any rewnl that we may rely upon, tlie propor tion of loss to the total forces en gaged rose to the enormous total of from onohalf to one-third. Kuners dorf was almost as destructive to hu man life, ami Fmderick lost S3 per cent against 26 per cent of the allies. With the advent of Napoleon and the loosened formations of tho revo lutionary armies losses were at first diminished, but at Aspern the Aus trians left nearly 28 per cent of their men on tho battlefield, and the French, although the bulletins jile nied it, are said to have been weaker by one-half after the battle. Boro dino, too, deprived the Russians of 36 ier cent and the French of 25 per cent. During the later Napoleonic wars we find the losses somewhat lower, although after Ligny the Prussians were weaker by as many as 20 per cent, and the victory of Waterloo cost us rather rooro than that proportion. When, however, we turn to the campaigns which succeeded the lull of exhaustion following tho downfall of tho firet empire, we are confront ed with no such bloody records in spite of the invention of percussion caps, rifles and even rifled cannon. Tho allies of the Alma only lost some 6 per cent and the Russians 14 per cent. Inkermann, however, was as bloody as Waterloo, but it waa a struggle in which tactics played a very small part The losses at Magenta and Solferi no were comparatively slight Al though the consequences of Konig gratz were immense they were cheap ly purchased by the victors, whilo in ls?0, notwithstanding that lxth side wtro anued with breechloaders, the losses never approached tho huge to tals of some of the battles tutr early century or ot "those of the i seven years; ar. At Worth, it is A'UeEe-t?Iuh of the total forces en- j gaged were either killed or wounded, ' but at Gravelotto the proportion was only one-eleventh and at Weissen burg one-twelfth. Saturday Review. ' Baby's Nainn. "We had an awful time getting a namo for baby," said ono woman to another as they rodo together on an electric car. "That's always the case," was the reply. "The father generally wanta one name, the mother another, while all the grandfathers and grandmoth ers and uncles and aunts and cousins have a lot to suggest and are cross it you don't take them, and you reully can't you know." "Of course not. That was the way with us. But the name my husband wanted to give the baby was the odd est of alh" "Wbat was that?" "Macbeth." "Family name?" "Oh, uo. He wanted the little treasure named Macbeth because he murdered sleep. But that was a reg ular libel on the little fellow. He sleeps just as well as one could ex pect" the mother added, with true maternal allowance for tho infant' very wakeful wickedness. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. "Not Worth Shocks." About Lake George, where the speech of the people is rich in archa isms, I find "shuck" used, not for the corn coverine. but for the outer cov- j ering of the hickory nut calH'jTert and in some other northern district "walnut" But the Lake Georgians do not, I believe, speak of "Ivan shucks," as people do in parts of Eng land. Perhaps, after all, the appar ently American proverbial phrase, "net worth 6hucks," is older than Jamestown, for the shucks of Indian corn are the only shucks that are valuable. But to "shuck off one's coat" in order to "lick" a man "tell Lis hide won't hold shucks" smacks of those parts of the United States in which a man so threatened can "take to the tall corn" for concealment Edward Eggleston in Century. JtHspoelnff of Criminals. There seems to be a sort of grim justice in the proposition to make use of criminals who are under sentence of death as subjects for experiments at the hands of scientists. They might thus serve some good purpose and in this way compensate the world for the in jury and mischief they have wrought in it. Useless for other pur poses, waiting only for death, they could be utilized for experiments that it is under ordinary circumstances impossible to make. Could 6ach a field bo opened to scientists it is im possible to foretell the benefits that might result from it Once tho idea gets a foothold in the minds of intel ligent persons, it is not unlikely that that there would be opportunities offered for such investigations.
