. " Bi EDWIN BRINSUEY
Jobn Burns, taxieub driver, was no3
. ulus behind the'ttteerluK wheel of nls
Vehicle on 6ne of the principal Btreeta
of New fork. It Was nearly midnight
and u Sue sleet wan fulling about him.
r But John Burns wait far more Inter
ested in catching a nap than In looking
upon the mnrvejou electric display.
BOt soon he heard his cab door open
and shut and a man 'a voice say:
Wake up!"
.lohu Burns turned and looked
through the glass behind him upon the
features of a very old man. The only
part of bis apparel that was not cov
ered by hia cloak was bis hat. which
struck the cabman as something re
markable. It was wuot is called bell
crown, with a Urg4 curled brim and
covered with a short fur. The chang
ing electric displays lighted the wear
ra face, Showing a countenance not
Dnly old. but there was an evil twinkle
.tatbeeye-
",Nort,hward," said the passenger.
"pn what street?''
The Bloomlhgdale road."
"Tbrnl-enft.? "JTb speaker pointed to
Broadway. Cabb pat on the power
na7 turning at . the comer, entered
that paijt of Broadway lying; north of
Forty-second street and now the live
liest part of npper New Tork. After
reaching a less crowded portion of the
thoroughfare be asked the old gen
tleman behind him Just where be
should take htm and received orders
to turn Into One Hundred and Fortieth
street. From that time the passenger
kept pointing out the way till be pull
ed up before an old fashioned bouse
situated among modern edifices. The
"fare" opened the cab door and, sup
porting himself with a staff, tottered up
the walk to the front door.
Froth this point John Burns In tell
ing the story appears confused. He
doesn't remember whether the house
was lighted or in darkness. He can't
say that he saw the old man go into
the house. His Impression Is that
there were no lights in the .windows
and if bis fare went inside he must
have gone Tight in through the closed
door. The only tblng Jobn Burns re
members distinctly Is that the wind
blew aside the man's cloak, which
reached . to his ankles and exposed a
pair of legs no bigger than those of a
skeleton.
However this may be, the cabman,
who. It has been Bald, was in need of
rest soon began to doze in bis seat
He was awakened by a bliize of light
coming through the doorway of tbe
bouse before wblcb he was stopping
and saw distinctly two persons there.
The one was bis passenger, tbe other
a lady. The latter was dressed very
much in the present mode of high
waist panniers and clitiKiiiK skirts.
The man who was bowinjr himself out
flourished his bell crown h it. boned
-very low and scraped excess ; vi-ly with
his feet After a uuuiber of such
capeiings, which made .lohu Burns
wonder, he came down tbe walk, turn
ing to throw a kiss to the lady who
still stood In the doorway. Then the
Illumination seemed to go out all of a
sudden, and the passenger stepped into
the cab, closed the door and said:

Having learned, that, tbe Bloomlng
dale roadmeant Broadway, cabby ask
ed no questions, but motored south
ward. He received no order to leave
tbe thoroughfare- or. to go to any. par
ticular place; so be drove on past the
Junction at Broadway and Thirty
.bird street -and Madison and. Onion
squares - and thence straight south
ward through what is now lower
Broadway. The life of the city grew
less and less as be proceeded till It
became tbe midnight of a great city.
It livened up as tbey passed tbe City
Hall park, adjoin ins which most of
the -newspaper offices linger, but died
out as they approached Trinity church,
at tbe bead of Wall street Burns was
directed to turn Into Rector street,
bordering tbe churchyard on the south
"Stop!" said the stranger.
John Burns drew up to the curb.
"I am under deep obligations to you."
said the passenger in a tone that
sounded to Jobn Burns very pompous.
"You have taken me to call on my wife
at her residence, and I am now going
to pay a visit to a gentleman whom 1
was reluctantly obliged to punish for
some annoying remarks be made about
ne. Good evening."
With a flourish of tbe bell crown hat
in lien of a fare, tbe strange man
seemed to flit up the side of a stone
wall, through an Iron railing, and dis
appeared beneath a monument located
tut a few feet beyond the rail.
Whether John Burns awoke from
dream or was so astouisbed that t
didnt know whether be was asleep r
nwake he falls to ranks xit pnir
As to what be did the next day to
clear up tbe matter be Is explicit He
motored up to the dwelling where tw
ukd taken the stranger and askwl ul
me passing w ho lived there.
"Don't know." was the reply. "Thru -the

An Ants' Sewing Circle.
A party of German naturalists re
cently returned froi Ceylon have re
ported the existence of a species of ant
that has been observed In the act of
sewing two leaves together for the pur
pose of' forming a nest. This report
confirms the observations of the Eng
lish naturalist Ridley, made in 1890
They saw a row of the insects pulling
tbe edges of leaves together, then oth
ers trimming and fitting the edges, and
Anally the completion of the work by
still other ants which fastened the
edges with a silky thread yielded by
larvae of the same species the workers
carried in their mandibles. It Is said
that the sewing ants pass tbe thread
giving lar, ae like shuttles through
holes In the edges of the leaves Bos

A Bosevilie man stopped sm'';ii fo.'

I shall set him a bad rumple." be iir

night he found a box of iittie cigars i i
