Bee now/ he odes, Bound the mysteries of ST. GABELLErS INN, My Uncle Bayle was a man whom ev­ ery on© loved and welcomed as a visitor. His home was not as ours was, in the little city of Mirepoix, but in a grand chateau, with crimson roof and shutters, 'in the environs of Foix. A lawyer by profession and pressed with business, he •iwever let a fortnight pass without com­ ing to see our mother, and there were many of us to greet him, for Uncle Bayle was the eldest of 13 children, all of them, with one or two exceptions, living with their own or their children's children in the neighborhood of the family home, my sister and myself in the homestead itself, with our infirm but pious and courageous mother, whom, as I told you awhile ago, Uncle Bayle came to see, "Uncle," said Dorothy one evenings the prettiest as well as the bravest of all our cousins, "tell us a ghost story, please. We have heard all the others." "One cold autumn evening," said he, "some 40 years ago, I was returning t from Toulouse, where I had been called on business. 1 was traveling fast and had already passed Auterive, where some friends had urged me to stay the night, but I was in a hurry to reach Saverdun, three leagues farther on, and mtinued my route. Just in front of the monastery of Bolbonne, in the forest <|f Secourien, one of those furious tempests which spring up in the heart of the mountains without a moment's warning fell upon me. In less than no time it was as black as midnight and the road invisible. There was nothing for it but to turn about and ask for shelter at Bolbonne. In a little while my horse stopped, and I saw that we were before the door of an inn. I entered. The com­ pany was numerous and composed of merchants, Spanish students and the sportsmen of the neighborhood, sur­ prised like myself by the storm. «'Truly/ said one of the hunters, 'the weathers devilish--a regular witches' sabbat.' " 'Pardon me,' cried ft voice in a dis- tant corner, 'witches and goblins hold sabbats on moonlight nights and not in storms." "We all turned to see who had spoken and saw that it was a Spanish mer­ chant. None of us seemed disposed at first to answer a remark made with such solemn gravity. In fact, we were as si­ lent as owls until suddenly my neighbor on the right, a young man of frank and pleasing appearance, burst into a fit of laughter. " 'Really/ said he, indicating the mer­ chant who had spoken last, 'it seems as if the gentleman understood the habits of goblins. Perhaps they've told you,' turning to him scornfully, 'how much they dislike to be wet and muddy!' "The Spaniard gave him a terrible look. " 'You speak too lightly, young man/ said he, 'far too lightly of things you know hothing about.' " 'And you would have me believe that ghosts exist?* " 'Perhaps,' said the other, 4if you are brave enough to look and see. Here's a purse/ he continued, rising and ap­ proaching the table, 'containing 30 gold­ en quadruples. I wager them all that in an hour's time I call before you the face of any one of your friends, even if he has been dead a dozen years, whom you may name to me. Moreover, when you have recognized him, he shall ap­ proach, embrace and salute you with a kiss. Do you agree?' And as he asked the question the manner of the man was oo impressive and stern that we invol­ untarily trembled. My neighbor only remained unmoved. % , " 'And you can do all that?' he cried. ; 'Yes,' answered the Spaniard, 'and willingly part with my 80 quadruples beside, if I do not, provided you will lose a similar amount if I hold to my promise pad force you to believe.' The offer was once accepted. * "To guard against trickery and decep­ tion, we decided to use a little pavilion situated in the outer garden, perfectly isolated and bare of everything but a chair and a table. After assuring our­ selves that there were no other issues than a door and a window, the student entered and, we left him to his fate, not, however, without placing beside him all the necessary writing materials and ex­ tinguishing the lights. "When everything was ready and we had arranged ourselves in a circle around the door, the Spaniard, who had waited in absolute silence till all was done, be­ gan to sing in a low, sweet voice, a verse} as near as I can remember, running Hius: H With a cracking noise the coffin bursts •f * In the tomb, deep, dark and profound. And the phantom white places his foot . On the soil of the cold, damp ground! tefc««Then, elevating his voice, he called to the student shut up within the pavil­ ion: " 'You have told me,' said he, 'that you 4»sire to have a visit from the spirit of your friend, Francis Yialat, drowned three years ago while crossing the ferry of Pensagnoles. Now, what do you see? "•I see nothing,' replied the student; •but stay! a white light begins to lift itself yonder by the window, formless, shifting and like a floating cloud' "After a moment's silence the Span-' lard begins to sing again, his voice deeper d gloomier than before: j the phantom white, whom the rushing' rains pad faded toa tint so fair, Wiped with his shroud and his skeleton hand ' ^he drops from his face and hair." the tomb; ^fltikat do you see QOWF "'Nothialff repli e votcoof thertns- dent, calm and cool\s ever. " 'And you are not afraid?* cries the Spaniard, his manner more scornful and insulting etill. " 'I am not afraid,' comes back the «lear, brave voice of the prisoner within, While we, standing on the outside and in Bight of the infernal sorcerer's incanta­ tions, scarcely darfe to look at each other, So great is our dismay and surprise. "'And the phantom said/ cries the, Spaniard f uriously: And the phantom said, coming out from the tomh, ; "In order that he may know me in truth, I will go to my friend proud, smiling ana sweet. As in the days of our first ear1:* youth!" "And again, ceasing hit song, he puts his terrible question: " 'What do you see now?" " 'The phantom advancing---he raises the veil--it is Francis--Francis Yiatal-- he approaches the table--he writes--he has written his name' * But before he can say more the Span­ iard resumes, his voice wild and howUng: And the phantom said to this mocking man, "Come thou at once and give to me Thy hand to my hand, thy heart to my heart. And thy lips where I eafi kiss thee!" " 'Are you afraid now? Are you afraid now?" he repeats, almost with frenzy. A shuddering cry, dying away in a moan, is the student's only answer. " 'I warned him/ said the Spaniard harshly; 'I warned him how it would be. You see, messieurs,'turning to address us, 'that I have gained the wager. But let him keep the money. I am content with the lesson given him. He will be wiser in future." And with a grave in­ clination he walked away, leaving us thunderstruck at the door of the pavilion, behind which the sound of moans still continued. "At last we opened it to find the stu­ dent writhing upon the floor, a paper signed with the name of Francis Viatal on the table beside him. It was at least an hour before he had recovered suffi­ ciently to be about again. Then, furious with rage at the treatment he had re­ ceived from the sorcerer, he insisted upon having him brought before him. "But the merchant was not to be found, either in or out of the inn. " 'But I will find him,' cried the stu­ dent, 'and I will kill him on the spotTfor the impious performance in which he has made me assist." "And soon after, learning from the stable boy that the merchant had sad­ dled his horse himself and departed some 1 time ago, he followed him, still swearing instant vengeance. "We never saw him--in fact, we never saw either of them again/' "And yet. Uncle Bayle," said Dor­ othy breathlessly, "you can say there are no such things as ghosts or goblins" "More positively than ever," he re­ plied. "Neither the Spanish merchant nor the Toulouse student were ever seen again, as I tell you. No more were the 80 beautiful quadruples which I and the other guests of the inn had put together to make up the sum of the Spaniard's wager. The two rascals had carried them off between them, after playing be­ fore us a comedy which we were simple­ tons enough to believe, but which I found very dear at the time, when I had considerably less money to spare at present."--From the French. AN OCEAN TRAGEDY. THE TERRIBLE FATE WHICH BEFEL THE CENTRAL AMERICA. Coal Waste. The great quantities of anthracite coal wasted by the unsuitable methods resort­ ed to in preparing it for market is the subject of complaint by Mr. Harris, the head official of the Lehigh Coal com­ pany. These operations, he says, result in reducing a large proportion of the coal to sizes too small for commercial purposes, the percentage of waste from this source averaging as high as 20 per cent of the coal hoisted from the col­ lieries, this, however, having been some­ what diminished in recent years by the utilization of the smaller sizes of coal. He thinks that this process--rescuing coal from the waste heaps--is destined to go much farther in the more general use of coal in fine particles. He believes that it may not be going too far to as­ sume that improved methods of mining and of preparing coal may insure the use as fuel of one-half the coal now re­ maining, so that it may be reckoned that there are still not far from 6,000,000,000 tons of anthracite available before the beds will be wholly exhausted. The present annual consumption of anthra­ cite is about 40,000,000 tons, and this consumption has for some years been in­ creasing at the rate of 4 per cent per an­ num.--New York Sun. At the Matrim 'Dial Office. Agent--Now, please state what con­ ditions yon require on the part of the lady. Suitor--A pleasant exterior, 20,000 marks dowry, domestic training and 6± size gloves. Agent--May I ask why you fix upon the last named condition? Suitor--Well, you see, a few years ago I won six pairs of ladies' gloves, 6± size, in an exhibition lottery, and you can't expect me to throw them away.--Seifen- blasen. His Text. A Texas clergyman, about to be ap­ pointed chaplain of the penitentiary, preached a farewell sermon to his con­ gregation, which had treated him rather badly. He created a sensation by select­ ing the following text, "I go to prepare a place for you, so that where I am ye may be also."--Texas Siftings. A Distinction.

A Cvwardly Kngineer--A Bird Golded the Ellen to the BCMM. And who that remembers «n hest without a thrill the name of the steam­ ship Central America, which sank in a great storm on Sept. 12, 1857, with most of her officers and crew, nearly 400 pas­ sengers and $1,800,000 in gold? The Central America was crowded with treasure laden people from Cali­ fornia on their way to New York. Aft­ er leaving Havana on Sept. 8 she ran into a storm. The steamer began to leak, and Captain Hernden called upon the passengers to form lines and pass the buckets. Hour after hour the tem­ pest howled, and the huge vessel groaned as the immense seas broke against her. Hour after hour the men with the buck­ ets toiled for their lives; slowly the wa­ ter gained on them. The officers exhorted the bucket gangs not to pause for a moment if the ship was to be saved. The wind roared and the storm increased in fury. Every pas­ senger stuck to his post and worked un­ til he fell to the deck exhausted. Then the women offered to take the places of their wornout, fainting husbands, and brothers, but none of the men would al­ low it. As the horror of the situation gradually dawned on the minds of the women and children the air was filled with sounds of terror, but above the raging hurricane and the cries of lamen­ tation rose the chorus of the bucket men: \ .- Heave, oh! heave, oh! stamp and go, We'll be jolly blather, oh! All day long they sang this song and fought for life against the steadily ris­ ing water. Mrs. Easton, a bride on her honeymoon trip, passed bottles of wine to the heroic men to strengthen them in their desperate work. All night long the struggle was cqntinued, and still the ocean gained inch by inch. The women begged, with tears in their eyes, to be allowed to help. They cheered the brave fellows and wept when they saw them fall to the deck with white faces and trembling limbs. During the next day the peril of the steamer was increased by the lack of food and water. The hurricane tossed the sinking hull about and shattered her spars and' masts. While the tired and sleepless men stuck to the buckets the women knelt and prayed to God for as­ sistance. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon a sail was seen to windward. Guns were fired and signals of distress hoisted. The strange vessel, which turned out to be the brig Marine of Boston, answered the signals and tried to approach, but the gale blew her about threa miles away. Then the boats were made ready, and the women and children prepared them­ selves. They had to strip off nearly all of their clothes and put oh life preserv­ ers. Many of the women had gold, which they could not carry with the them. Two of them went to their state­ rooms and took out bags of $20 gold pieces, which they threw down in the cabin, inviting the others to take what they pleased. The money rolled and jingled about on the floor, while the two weeping women explained that they were returning home to enjoy the fortune which they had made in California, and that they would be beggars if the ship was lost. None of the women dared to take more than two pieces of gold lest it might weigh them down. The men still remained at their work, saying that they would remain on board until another ship arrived, as the Marine could not take all the passengers, and the women and children must be saved first. Among those heroes was Billy Birch, the famous minstrel. Two of the lifeboats were smashed by the sea, but three boats were filled with women and children, many of the latter being infants. The last boat to leave carried the chief engineer. He solemnly promised the captain to return, but the moment he got into the boat he drew a knife and threatened to kill any one who followed him. Later on, when the wom­ en and children were put on board the Marine, the chief engineer, like the cow­ ard and liar he was, refused to return. Now the sinking steamship was so low in the ocean that almost every wave swept her deck. Some of the passengers got into the rigging, while others tried to build a raft. Night came on. The storm continued to rage. The ship quiv­ ered and careened. Rockets soared up into the bellowing, angry heavens. Slow­ ly the vessel filled with water, and the doomed host clinging to her deck and rigging prepared for death. There was no weeping and no shrieking, no wring­ ing of hands. The captain stood at the wheel to the last. , Ail at once the ship, as if in an agony of death herself, made a plunge at an angle of 45 degrees, and with an appall­ ing shriek from the engulfed mass she disappeared, and nearly 500 human be­ ings were left struggling among the fierce waters. The scene was horrifying, and many who were saved afterward fainted at the mere memory of it. A few held on to planks and spars all through the wild night, and as the day broke the Norwegian bark Ellen arrived and picked up 49 of the men. "I was forced out of my course just before I met you," said the captain of the Ellen to the rescued passengers, "and when I altered my course a bird flew acros3 the ship once or twice, and then darted into my face. A few min­ utes later the bird repeated its move­ ments. I thought it an extraordinary thing, and while thinking on it in this way the mysterious bird reappeared, and for the third time flew into my face. This induced me to alter my course back to the original one, and in a short time I heard noises in the sea and discovered that I was in the midst of shipwrecked people." Who shall say what power guided the flight of the frail messenger through the stormy air?--New York Herald. A DIPLOMATIC BOY< Bis VRkfliJCmatton Was Sudden Sided and Served H is Purpose. I have a little son 8 years old. He is smart and bright, and for mischievous^ ness I think can't be beaten. I was sit­ ting in a room one day reading and smoking, when he came sauntering up to me with the forefinger of his left hand hi his mouth. I thought at the time that there was something wrong, but said nothing with regard to the same. "Pa," he said after awhile, "I didn't get one demerit in school today." "You didn't, Willie?" I interrogated^ throwing a rather fierce look upon him; "Well, I'm sure that's a good showing.* "Yes, and I carried a bucket of ooal np for Kate after school," he went on; still keeping that finger in his mouth. . "Why, you axe getting very consider^ ate," I returned. •"Yes, and I brushed your coat all off nice and clean." "No, Willie; you dfdnt do that?" J asked, looking frowningly at him, for I knew he had been up to something. - "Yes, I did, pa, and I lit the gas in ma's room for her." „ ; "Well, now." "And I shined your best shoes nntil they glitter like Sister Ella's looking glass." "Is that so? What else have yon done!" "Well, I studied all my lessons in school, got out at the regular time, said 'yes, sir,' to Uncle John and helped the hCstler around the stable." "Why, what is the matter Willi yon? Are you going to get sick!" "No, sir," he replied, twisting around a trifle, "but I'm going to be a better boy--at least for a while." "You are? Well, Fm glad to hear that." There Was a short pause, and then he said: "Here, pa, are two cigars for you. I bought them with my own spending money. I'll bnv you a boxful when I get money enough." At this junctufe he placed both little arms around my neck and sobbed aloud. "Oh, pa," he asked, "do you like your little boy?" "Why, of course I do," I replied, get­ ting alarmed. "Are you ill?" . "No, but I^Ve got something to tell you. Would you keep your little Willie from pain?" "Certainly I would. Tell me what is the matter, my son?" "All right, pa, I will--dear, good, old pa. This morning Billy Button, Tommy Todd and myself were playing ball, and I couldn't catch very well, so I went and got your brand new stovepipe hat and caught with that. Pa, that hat must be made of awful poor stuff, for the first fly ball went clear through it, knocking the roof out. But never mind, I'll buy you another one," clasping me tighter as I essayed to rise, "and one gooder'n that tool" What could I do?--Boston Courier. Paderewakl as a Hard Worke*. To be a pet of the public sometimes has its disadvantages. M. Paderewski, for instance, keeps up his reputation only at the cost of tremendous efforts. To an interviewer for Black and White he has confided the fact that he practices at the piano often for 15 or 16 hours a day. Once, in New York, he had to work up eight entirely distinct programmes in little over as many days, and then it was a case of 17 hours'practice daily. One must always be at it, he explains, to keep the fingers right and the memory active. The work is certainly tiring, and M. Paderewski considers that play­ ing billiards--a game he is very fond of --has saved his life by affording him the necessary relief from his arduous work. Those crashing blows of his on the piano are not, as Bome might imagine, made with the closed fist. Sometimes they are done with the third finger stiff­ ened out, sometimes with the thumb sideways. He seems to see nothing won­ derful in the effect produced, although his hands are so delicate that an ordi­ narily firm shake makes him wince. It is true that he has a forearm such as a professional strong man might envy, so perfect is it in its muscular develop­ ment^--London Daily News. Thought He Gould Jump. A young man the other day got an um­ brella where the bottle got th§ cork--in the neck. This young man is one of those fellows who can readily explain to you that nothing that any one else can do is really as difficult as it appears. He joined a local gymnasium not long ago, and after watching the members once or twice going through their exercises came away with the feeling that he was a full fledged athlete. Walking on East Court street alongside of the jail, he espied two women ahead of him walking abreast and carrying a basket of freshly washed clothes between them. The street being narrow at this point, they took up the full width. The young man, being in a hurry, thought he could save time by jumping over the basket, but his calcu­ lation was not acute enough, and he kicked some of the wash off. After walking a few steps he turned around to ascertain the result of his maneuver and was just in time to see an umbrella hurled at him by the unerring aim of an enraged woman. He tried to dodge, but was too slow.--Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Ancient Stationers. In mediaeval times the stationarius, or stationer, held official connection with a university and sold at his stall, or sta­ tion, the books written or copied by the librarius, or book writer.
