THE KISS OF SUDDEN DEATH, "There is nothing so impssible that a novelist cau't lead a story up to it," said Professor Boyesen, of Columbia College, as he na.t in a group .it the Autlior's Club. '-That's so," saiil Edgar Saltus, "bht I've lbund I that the best Kcheme's lor odd fiction are prostra ted by the necessary death of the principal without:4 disclosing the material lor a climax." UI kuow what ypu menu," said Editor Gilder of theGeutary Mag azine, "'and I wonder why some of you gentlemen donjt extend a ro mance beyond death say by means of a spiritualistic communication from the actors. Now you, Pro lessor Smith,, youjre a scientist, why don't you do it V", The gentleman ithus addresed was Professor Crainard Garduer Smith, of Cornell University. "And I have the start of it in mind now," Professor Smith re plied. "Once when I was in journ alism, I had occasi&u to go over a pile of old Liverpool newspapers, and thus came noon h remarkable uragrapli in the ships news, 1i ';T C-" f iatrgnage of commerce iu was to.tue en cc mat the good ship Empress, j ar rived from Australia, reported that while rounding the Cape of Good Hope she had been driveu south- ward far out pj" her course by a storm, and . .awaylYlown the south ern Atlautic had sighted a vessel drifting aimlesslv -about. The first mate boarded her,' and . returning, reported that the derelict was the ship Albatross. That she had been abaudoned was plain, for all the boats were gone, and so were the log ami ships jusluments. On deck close by the companion hatch lay two bodies, or rat Iter keletous, clad in weather rotted' garments that showed them to have beeu man and woman. These bodies were neatness, and ihe beads were' no where to be. found out he deserted leek. The m ate found on the cab in table an open book, with write- mi; on its pages., a pen lav on - -" E I table and a small ' inkstand, in which the ink' had; evidently long "since dried. The book ' was evi dently a journal ordinary, so the mate reported, hihJ he put it iu his pocket, meaning to carry it aboard the Empress, but when lie was get ting down into his Ismail boat the book slipped from his pocket, fell 'into the water aiid Sauk. The Al- batross was badly waterlogged and he thought conld not have. floated much longer. To this report the ed- itor of thp paper added a note sa.- ing that the leaders would all doubtless remember that the Alba- tross had wailed fiom Liverpool several years before, bound for Australia, and Was thought to have gone dowu with all on board, as no hews of her had siniee beeu recived. That was the substauce of the re- maikable paragraph. What was most remarkable to me, a news paper man, was that the Liver- pool paper had eyideutly made no effort to learn the owner's name of the Albatross, the name of her captain and crew, or whether or not she carried . any; pas-eu- gers. I ' -.- " I carefully searched the files to see if there were any further rafer ence to the case. There was none. After the manner ;ot bis kind the" editor of thg pap r had so it seems, taken it for grail ted . tl at his readers would reuiember all the nai tii'iilars that they wanted to - w know. - .: ' "A few weeks alter that I went iuto iiotheru Vermont to;report the Betiteu murder trial, wbiuh w.is t trading much more than lo- cal attention. 1 was ' pleased to find tbatlthe piosecutiu? attorney .cw ..ii dd idasHin-ite oi mine, out not pleased to find that he had become a spiriualist. I mentioned the headless bodies to him, and, as a joke, asked him to conjure up the two spirits in a seance o as to solve the mystery. Well, we tried to" uAnd failed, of course," iute -posed Edgar Fawsett. A quizzical expression came into Professors Smith's face and be said lOf, noj we got the whole story tfttVig-h- a metlian. The bodies were those of Arthur Hartley and Helen Ilitnkins," and he looked defiantly around the' circle for a contradiction. uIt was Hartley whose communication we got through the Vermont medium, and this is what he said: uHelen aiid I were passengers aboard the Albatross: My uncle John promised me a fortune. Be was confident that au explosive of his invention would work hucu wonders in the Australians mines that withiu ten years we would go back to England rich beyoud the dreams of avarice. Oue day Tjncle John got into a hot discus ion with Captain. Raymond about the efficacy of the wonderful explosive compound. The Captain seemed doubtful. Uncle John w.is for the instant angry. "I'll show you then," he said, and be rushed into the cabin where his boxes were stored and came out I shortly with two tin cans, each holding something less than a pint. He unscrewed the top of one, dis closing a brownish powder. Take care !" said the c.iptain, who seemed needlessly c mtiou and -l most fearful. "Why I thought you said it was useless," said Uuoie Jobu with a laugh: "aud yet you are afraid of it Look here."N He lighted a match aud held it close to the powder. A dark smoke arose t hat instantly ex tinguished the flime'and floated off, leaving a queer smell. That was all. Perfecly harmless, captain." continued uncle, who had now re covered his usual good nature. Per fectly hariules unless you wet it. Then look out !" "He made a sort of a dumpling for dinner and a gre.it lot of it re mained. Uncle Jobu took a mass of this dough, for it was little else, squeezed ic until it was quite dry, and moulded it into a ball. "Come with me," he" said, 'and, Arthur, he took the jans and we followed him to the deck. There he careful ly covered the ball of dough with powder, and going to the side cist it as far as he could out on the placid sea. As the ball struck the water there was a loud explosion, and the snrav was thrown high into the air. The cre w who had beeu hanging over the port rail toward,' turned aud rushed over to see what was up; Uncle "John made another ball" and threw it with like resuir 'Oh, houly torpeters," growled one of the men, aud they turned back to their places. Uucle Jobu, now evidently anxious to give us thorough proof of the value of his compound, was for throwing more balls, when the boatswain, rolling aft, touched his bat and said to the captain: . "Please, sir; there's a bi ; black shark, as has sowed his fiu hoff ther port bow, aud if so be that the doctor-'ll wait er bit with his torpe-? ters we'll show 'uiq some fuu a- catchin' hoff it." "All right, bo'suu,' said the oap- tain, as we all went over to the port side. "There he is." said the captain, pointing to a sharp black thing that; rising just above the water was cutting quietly through it. "Tbat i3 his fiu, aud there-s a big shark under it, or I'm much mista- ken." i The men fell back aud looked ea gerly. The cook banded up a big chunk of meat. "Wipe it as dry as you can," said umtte, "and tie it firmly to the rope.1? When this was done he sprinkled the pow . der from the can over the meat: , then he carried it cautiously to the rail. The shark was eiuising oacc- ward aid forth. TJucle lowered the meat slqwjy into the waiter, right in trout ot the, monster. He t-avv the bait and darted after it, and there was a tremendous report aud the spray flew into our faces as we leaned over the rail. The next moment we saw the big fish floiting motionless on the water, " Bleesed if e asu't blowed is head close off," exclaimed the boat swain. " it was so.

QQly Hel en whom I madly loved, but who had never yet con fessed she loved me, was left hIoqs on board with me. Days of famishing and fever ensued. One afternoon Helen was lying motionless in the shadow or the companion hatch. I threw my self dowii by ; her , Bide.

Gradual ly I lost conscious ness, jerhaps i i sleep At all events my spirit was not free, The frail body stil had strength enough to retain it. It , was aroused by somethiag dropping on my faoe. As consoiotisuti-ia uum biuk I saw that the sky had beeu overcast that a cool breeze was blowing, and j tbat a gentle raiu was falling. Hel en was sitting erect, apd with par ted lips driuking in the grateful rain laden air. I tried to rise, but could not. She was much strong er than I, and at my direction went below ana brought blaukets and clothes, which she spread ou the deck; that- they might catch the falling drops. She seemnI quite vigorous, aud already I felt my own strength coming bank. Soon she was able to squeeze wa ter from the blanket into a tia can which stood by the mast. We were in too great agony ot thirst to think of neatness. She offered the can to me. - "Drink yourself, HeUm" I said. "No," she answered mith a smile 'No, you need it most,' And kneel ing by my side she slipped her arm uuder my head and held the water o my parched lips. "I drank eagerly. The draught was life to me. Never hai wa ter such strength giving power. I hardly noticed that it left such a queer taste upon my lips. I sat erect. Helen, with ber arm still arouud my neck, drauk what was left in thecan. Tbeu she looked at me full in the face. There was a new expression iu&er, lovely eyes. A deep flush was on her brow. 'Arthur, she saitl, aud there was a tremor in the' rich deep voice. "Arthur, I love y ou ! Ob, I love you ! My darling, my noble, faith ful 1 dating ! Arthur!-' She threw herself npiu my breast with burning face and streaming eyes. The blood .leaped through my veius. She laised her sweet face and .our lips met for the first time. There was an awful crash and oar freed spirits took their flight together, "We had drank from the can that contained Unele John s explo sive. A little of the powder had clung to the can, fljated ou the. water, and adhered to our lips when we drank. The impact of the first elastic kiss had exploded the compound and our heads' were blown from our shoulder. That's all. And Profesor Smith, the story teller smiled. Cincinnati Enqui rer.

A ROMAXTIC ISLASDJ DELIGHTFUL RE SORT BEAUTIFUL" SCENERY A SPLEXDID HOTEL WITH HOS- , PITABLE KEEPERS BOATIXG, FISHING, bathing and ' SPORTS OF , r ' ALL KINDS. ; From the Greensboro North State. Ernest Tate, Rob Mebane and .Mayne Albright, three of our most popular young gentlemen, have just returned from a two weeks sojourn on Ocracoke island An Eastern North Carolina, and from them we learn a great deal about this resort which is not known to those who have never visited it. The island, which Ocracoke, is also owned by the same proprietors. As soon as the traveler .boards the beautiful steamer the hos- pitaUty of the managers and propri- etors begins to greet him. The boat is commanded by Captain Parvin, who is all attention to his passengers and, who. together with the purser, Mr. Car malt, makes the trip of ten hours one of real pleasure. The traveller feels that he has reaohed a haven when he arrives at the Ocracoke hotel, meets the cor- dial greeting and shares the unbound- ed hospitality of the generous and accomplished proprietors. These gentlemen are ever on the lookout for the comfort of their guests, and nothing seems to give them greater pleasure than to cater to the wants and wishes of tbeir visitors. A well kept hotel is the exception, and Messrs. bDencer lirotbers deserve a place in the front rank of hotel keep- ters, fcc. The hotel is also provided with a commodious dancing hall and a first rate band of music, which add much most romantic pieces of handiwork. A long strip of land, covered with a luxuriant growth of live oak and yeopon trees, and surrounded by the majestic rolling waters of the ocean . Quiet, shady promenades, elegant drives, splendid surf bathing and a beautiful beach. Among the sports are boating, sailing, fishing, bathing and driving. Immediately in the middle of the island is a beautiful placid little lake called Silver lake, and here those who are disinclined to brave the ocean billows find a safe place for rowing and fishing. The sand hills, not barren and bleak as the name would perhaps suggest, but beautiful mounds cov ered with green grass and densely shaded by the live oaks and yeopon Here beneath the spreading branches of the trees, in the cool recesses, of the luiet littIe nooks, many a devot- ed swn V Vnt to pour out his tale of "ve, whilst tbe blush upon, his fairV maiden, cheek W kissed away by W w we ocean oreeae .
