chemists ainjpb 10th dda8 the lokghaired man my name is simon wortbioirton i am a bachelor of forty and if i may say it a man of titremely upright life i smoke a few cigars a day i take a glass of any thing i please with my meals bat i am strictly moderate my appearance betokens it i are sure therefore you may quite understand bow great was my astonish ment when the longhaired man addressed me as tbough bat wait i bave not told yoq trho the iuughaired man was i was about to take a little summer holi day and had arraoged everything so that my mind would be quite at case business i put ayde for the present tnd having provided myself with tho correct costumo and accessaries of a gentlemanly traveller went oat to attend to the last few arrange ments for my journey i had been into the bank to draw several hundred dollars and had also stopped at the jewellers to get my watch which had been repaired at the first place i had noticed a solemn man of thin figure with black hair as straight aa an indians and wearing a pair of blue goggles who aaked the cashier to change a fivedollar note and then politely stood aside in order that i miit transact my business first and while 1 was paying for my watch he entered the jevellers and bourlit a pair of pitted sitvcruleeve-bat- toufl i hardly know why i tool particular notice of him but his inir his features his sfoping shoulders aud joiig supple hands were all so peculiar that i could uot avoid noticing them particularly ho might have been a travelling ctanielist i thought or a country doctor or a literary man or couuected with some spiritualistic society or a member of the liberal club i could not place him 1 lauglssd at my self for desiring to do so why dr i aare what that rqau is i asked myself or think of him as i am thinking with these words i jumped iuto a stage aia as i was paying my fare became aware that an other person had entered hie vehicle in fact seated mytelf by accident ujran his knee and turning to apologize il saw the person of whom i was thinking i beg pardon i said not at all not at all he crped with a ereat display of politeness sot at all it was my fault i bhould have moved you will not find me one to take offence at trifles no sir had you seated yourself upon me purposely i should bate forgiven you sir 1 should have esteemed that my christian duty i bowed a couple of girls on tbe opposite seat giggled nd the stage stopped to let in some ladies move dp sir movo up cried my friend make room for the ladies allow me ill take your fares flesjse move a little more sir thanks we should never forget to do all we con for the faar sei sir i nfake it a point to bt useful to them sir 1 the girls giggled again youth is lighthearted sir said my neighbor to me very ightheaitel i ami bee lady delightful to thuk of it air moy nnj move up i vraa already wedged as olosej y aa a sar dine in a box but i tried to obey banded up the newcomers far i tnd re eating himself suddenly sniffed fftriously tobacco be said to bimeej rrser a pause tobacco i smell totytttoov yonemoke sir m- since it interests yon so nfu h wend yes i do smoke ha snook bis bead and groans another life an the wane another case of nicotine poisoning ah i ah i ah h i its killing you sir so you know that vory slowly no doubt i replied slowly i- bo repeated slowly tbey all think that sir you may possibly drop dead before you leave this stage that might happen of oourse i as sented but the idea was not an agreeable one smoke and drink i too drink too said my noighbor dont deny it smok ers always drink i am a desperate and confirmed inebri ate i replied i have delirium tremens every saturday night and am fast gliding to a drunkarda grave you mock me oried tbe stranger holding up a warning linger you mock me sir yon say to yourself i am a moderate drinker sir the mania which yoa speak of io jest may blight your life at any instant you may see little green snakes which have no existence anywhere but in your own imagination crawling out of your boots before you leave this stage i assure you it is possible sir not if i drop dead from nicotine poisoning i remarked yoa sir first delirium then froth said the gentleman solemnly regarding me as though i were a living curiosity tbe smokers and the drunkards fate may both be yours beware i the two girls who had been laughing all the while went into something very like hysterics the other lady passengers devoid of any sense of humor to a woman listened approvingly with the air people assume in church daring a sermon and seemed to j regard me as a very dreadful example in- deed beware repeated my neighbor the path ia short and very slippery you are going down it headlong beware i i had enjoyed all this at first but i now lost all patience beware yourself i replied in aacalm a tone as i could command even cranks are occasionally knocked down as you will find il you do not hold your impudent tongue- at this myjieighbor fumbled in his coat- tail pocket brought out with much pains and deliberation a large yellow kerchief and applied it to his eyes i speak for your own good he cried from its depths i felt it my christian duty to pause and strive to rescue a wan dering sheep you rejvile me for it but i will try to bear it thats my duty too yes yes yes thats my duty too the girls choked again the ipatrons looked sympathetically at him one of them wiped away a tear i cant endure this i said i shall disgrace myself by using personal violence to a maniac and i reached for the check string my adviser caught my arm xo no he said will go i am about to leave you sir lam delighted to hear it i remarked seating myself yes yes i go my presence is offen sive to you and i go he continued it is my duty goodbye i goodbye 1 heed my warning remember the delirium tremens remember the sudden death by nicotine poisoning remember me wait you dont believe me let me put your hand upon yonr heart ho returned he seized my hand and thrust it into the bosom of my coat do you think a heart could beat like that for many bonra to gether he shrieked sir your com plexion your respiration your whole ap pearance prove to me that i am right beavrtr i thrust his hand from me and snatched mine awty he looked at the sympathetic ladles shook his head and jumped ont of the stage the girls shrieked with laugh- ter at the next corner tbey alighted i was alone with the matrons who regarded me with freezing glances and seemed to be somewhat afraid of me as an intemperate person who rdight do them barm one who wore a little frizette of black curls re marked to her friend in a hard and re- proviug tone of voice how shocking is intemperance to which the other replied shocking indeed i and then 1 saw all eyes settle slowly upon my middle vest button i glanced downward almost expecting to see those small green snakes so graphically described by my late neighbor instead i saw tbe broken links of my watch chain my watch was gone i plunged my hand into my bosom tho pocketbook contain ing my money was no longer there in fact my pockets were completely emptied even a conple of cigars which i had about me had been taken and tbe longhaired man was evidently a clever thief the policeman with whom i took coun sel was sympathetic but not hopeful he said that from my description he should suppose the theft to have been committed by slim jim a noted yojspoiket i and that the two giruaprsrt were doubtless his accomplices trained to giggle in order to attract my attention at the proper tiine but there vas no way of being sure and he thought it likely would never see my property again inirordld nt ledger 7- the polly of pear a great doal of talent is lost in the world for the want of a little courage every day sends to
