THE COLONEL'S JEAL­ OUSY. t It was one of those delicious morn­ ings In the middle of June when, with all the sultriness of a blazing mldsum- iner's day, there came a breeze so cool and strong that it would have sent us shivering to our fires at an earlier sea­ son of the year. Colonel Clifford, whose marriage with Miss Tempest, of the Frivolity Theater, still formed the one topic of conversa­ tion among his friends, sat at a small round table drawn up near the open window, and, after perusing his Morn­ ing Post for some time with exemplary patience, he could not resist taking a peep under the smoking dish covers with the natural curiosity of a middle- aged gentleman, whose appetite has al­ ready been sharpened by a brisk walk and a bath in the river. The eggs were getting cold and the newly caught trout would not Improve by waiting. He got up and rang the bell some­ what violently. ' "Matilda," he roared, when the terri­ fied servant girl made a hurried ap- pearance, "tell your mistress that I Shall wait three minutes more and then begin without her " Having delivered himself of this, and mollified, no doubt, by the explosion, he sauntered back to the window and stood looking out over a wide expanse of meadow land, through which he could see the river winding Its way be­ tween long lines of willow trees to the pale blue sea, unbroken by foam or rip­ ple, except here and there In the stern of some white-sailed fishing boat So engrossed had he become with his own thoughts that he did not notice a few minutes later that the door was quietly opened to admit a young lady, who finding she was unpreceived, stole quietly across the room on tip-toe till she had stationed herself behind her husband. She was dressed In some close-fitting tailor-made gown which suited her to perfection and was well calculated to set off her singularly tall and graceful figure. Her face at this moment did not wear a very pleasing expression, her brown eyes were blazing wrathful- ly, and her pretty teeth were clenched together in an ominous manner. "Confound that girl," muttered the Colonel, all unconscious of the new­ comer, who was now leaning against the back of a chair, her hands elapsed tiyullj' bshhiu her, and her indignation at the servant's message In nowise lessened by being compelled to wait a whole minute unobserved. f'She won't try. my patience much longer nnu*pa she's a perfect fool." He turned quickly and found himself face to face with a dazzling but furious apparition. "Oh, I beg your pardon," he said, with an embarrassed cough; "I didn't know. Good morning, darling." Mrs. Clifford did not deign to make any reply to this greetln. "And who may the young lady be?" she demanded, frustrating her hus­ band's endeavor to slip by to his seat. He had been at a disadvantage without his paper, and she did not mean to re­ linquish it -s The Colonel gave a wistful glance at the Morning Post and mentally re­ solved never to let It out of his hands at breaskfast lie was unaccustomed to fighting In the open and he felt Uis con­ fusion increasing under his wife's steady gaze. He was on the horns of a dilemma. The unfortunate nature of his remarks made the truth impossible, while the jealous gleam in Mrs. Clifford's eye warned him against embarking on fic- ion. For Lilian to be jealous was some­ thing new. Hitherto any feelings of the kind had all been on his side. The man who marries a young lady from the Frivolity Theater has to keep an eye on her, and the Colonel had taken good care that since their marriage she should have little other society besides his own. That she should venture to have any suspicions of him, however, was outrageous. He took shelter from her wrath, ito- der a mean Bubterfngft, ' r , Eh well* ho said any*' this* alMMit* yooac IfcUrf" "twidld." "What absolute nonsense. You must be draining, darling." Lilian's eVes opened wide. <• "Oh, I akn dreaming, am IT* ibe drawled. "| shouldn't tell lies If I were you, Hamilton." The tannt stung the Oolnnel to fury atul enraged Mm none the less because It was merited. He drew himself up to his full height and then suddenly turning on his heel he marched out of the room, slamming the door behind him. "All right" she called out after his retreating figure, "you needn't show your temper like that I had made up my mind not to go to Lord Montague's dunce to-night but I shall now." And she flopped herself down on a chair and knocked the top off an egg with rather shaky hands. Since the day of her marriage she had reluctantly denied herself every form of dissipation, but Lord Montague had been one of her oldest friends, and she had set her heart on going to his ball, the Colonel's back went up at once when she proposed accepting the invi­ tation, and there had been a consider­ able scene the night before, and. al- tnougn Lilian naa carried the day she repented .during the evening, and ihe really had Intended to tell him so the first thing in the morning. The Colonel's bad temper, however, had put the matter on a different foot­ ing. He had been jealous of her, and now she was jealous of him and meant fft ff|ra him o iMOAn^ TPJja mng £u*3 mysterious girl who was not to try her husband's patience any more? That night true «b her word, Mrs. Clifford ordered the carriage and drove to Lord Montague's country house, which stood between theirs and the sea. She danced almost theNs^ole even­ ing with her host entirely indifferent to the glances which were thrown £ them from different quarters of the room, and making fun over the whis­ pered comments which now and then reached their ears. There was nothing she hoped for more than that some scandal-monger would report her be­ havior to the Colonel. Her husband's Inflammable nature, however, required no other spark than his own suspicions afforded to set him ablaze, and his passion was fanned by the recollection of his discomfiture in the breakfast-room that morning. He passed the night shut up in the library and suffering torments. He could see nothing but the vision of a pretty woman with flushed cheeks and glistening shoulders, being whirled about by a handsome guardsman, to whom she yielded her slim waist with wildest pleasure. And by the time the dim gray light of morning crept in through the Vene­ tian shutters he was hopelessly, fath­ omlessly intoxicated with jealousy, and wild to be revenged on someone. The whole of the next day he stu­ diously ' avoided his wife, and they scrambled through lunch to their mu­ tual relief without a word on either side. It was during the course of the after­ noon that the Colonel coming down stairs With his hat on and a stick under his arm, caught sight of a letter lylu on the hall table. He glanced at It carelessly in passing, and then, seeing It was addressed to his wife In an un­ known hand, he picked it up and exam­ ined it critically. "So," he muttered to himself, "It has come to this, has It? All right my fine lady," and, thrusting the letter uncere­ moniously into his pocket he vanished through the front door. Ten minutes later, comfortably seat­ ed behind a ledge, he brought it out and quietly opened the carelessly fastened envelope. "Montague, I thought so," he re­ marked, giving a glance at the signa­ ture. Then he wiped his glasses with his handkerchief and turned back the first page. " 'Dear Mrs. Clifford--I am sure you will forgive me for writing,'--"asked him to, I'll take my oath," commented the Colonel--'the truth is, I am in an awful hole, thanks to you, and for the life of me I cannot make up my mind how to get out of the difficulty." '--The Colonel smiled grimly--" 'Ever since you went away last night I have been deliberating as to the proper course to take. Ought I to burn it or return It"" --The Colonel raised his eyebrows with an Involuntary exclamation, "Hullo, what's this," he ejaculated--" 'How­ ever,' the letter went on, 'as the result of these reflections I have decided to reassure you by informing you that it fell into my hands. Trust to me that I will never breathe a word of the secret Which came so strangely Into my pos­ session. Rest assured no one shall know, least of all your husband. As an old friend, however, I must give you a little scolding, so young, so fair, and already a deceiver. I will come and call sometime to-morrow if you let me know when the old boy Is likely to be out, and return it into your own hands. By the way, I only saw it fall just as you were leaving and managed to se­ cure It before anyone else could possi­ bly have noticed It'" In a moment the Colonel sat perfectly still, thoroughly mystetied." Then he suddenly sprang to his feet "Thunder and Mars!" he bellowed, "I see it all now; Lilian must have drop­ ped a love letter. That accounts for Montague's epistle being so formal. I'll swear he didn't call her Mrs. Clifford last night" And with this amiable re­ flection the Colouei went back to the house, and smuggling the letter back Into its envelope he put It again on the hall table. The day sped on. It happened after dinner that the Colonel, in no happy frame of mind, wandered round toward the stables, smoking a fragrant cigar. To his surprise he ran into a groom who was leading a horse saddled and bridled. "Why the dickens can't you look where you are going to?" he shouted. "Confound you, charging into me like that. What are you taking the horses out for, at this time of night, anyway?" The man touched his hat respectfully. "It's a "note to go to Montague Place at once, sir," he said, "and another " "Ah, of course," interrupted the Col­ onel, with great presence of mind. "I thought I had sent down word they were not t<> go to-night" He held out his hand for the letters, and, going to the harness-room, he read them by the light of the lamp which hung from the polling. crushed and overwhelmed •tit*, man wlMtWiH call to-morrow morn­ ing.

"jipnr Sir--It has been found all, and I shall never cease to blam< myself for my weakness in listening your persuasions. You had better cai| at Montague place for it to-morrow morning, in my name, of course. Yours truly, Lilian Clifford." For the life of him the Colonel could not refrain from uttering a long whis­ tle. The expression on his face at that moment would defy any attempt at de­ scription. He went to the door of the harness- room, and, looking across the court1 yard, he saw the groom loosening the girths. "Here, Vaughan," he hallooed, "bring out that mare again." He altered tho stirrups to his own length, clambered into the saddle, and, without waiting for his crop, he gathered up the reins and disappeared across th« t>ark at q sharp canter. <-.» n i "I think T'w »nt *lmd «*nf a# «.«.« evil this time," he muttere*} ttXtd so in truth he had. j • In about half an hour's time he reached the town, still half mad with jealousy, and already picturing him* self as the plaintiff in a divorce and addressing the court with the elo< quence of an Injured husband. naif way down the High street h« spied a constable and hailed htm vig­ orously. . .. "Where's Hanam's place, can you tell me?" he called out "1 expect It's shut by this, time, sir." "what d'ye think I care if it is. Whelre is it?" he shouted back, beside himself with passion. "Let me get that's all, and see if I don't wring his neck, confound him." The policeman laughed good-natured­ ly. "It's down there on the left, sir," lie said, and, without waiting to thank his informant the Colonel put spurs to his horse and dashed on. He found the place without much dif­ ficulty. > "A hairdresser's, 1>y Jove," he mut­ tered, as he pulleft Up in front of the shop which bore sibove the door in gold letters the legehd: "HANAM, TONSORIAL ARTIST." He dismounted. ilJore perplexed than ever, and beat vigorously on the door, while the horse, finding herself left to her own devices, quietly sauntered down the street In the direction where the Cliffords usually put up their car­ riages. For some time the irate Colonel ham­ mered away unheeded. At last however, there were foot­ steps on the other side of the door, and a trembling voice inquired what be wanted. "Open at once," yelled the Colonel, beginning again with his fists; "it you don't I'll Are the house." "Fire the house! Heaven have mercy on us all! Fire! Fire!" A window was thrown open and a woman's voice sounded out In a terri­ fied wail; the cry was taken up from house to house, and, In an hiBtant, the whole town was astir. Farther and farther through the de­ serted streets the shout was echoed, and slippered and trousered citizens be­ gan to pour from their houses and crowd about the Colonel, still raining blows on the hairdresser's door. Then the church bells began to ring, the fire engines came, the crowd got ready a bucket line; in short nothing was wanting for a first-class conflagra­ tion but the fire. Squeezed In the crowd, jostled here and there, shouting Incoherently and gesticulating wildly, but unable to make himself heard or understood, was the Colonel. AH at once the mob gave way and the constable whom the Colonel had hailed appeared. He looked about him despairingly, caught sight of the Colonel struggling In the midst of the tumult, and a sud­ den thought struck him.' • Perhaps the gentleman whom he had seen in a wildly excited state a few minutes before uttering vague threats had really made some attempt to fire the barber's house. There was no other explanation of the uproar. Come what may he must do his duty, and a i few moments later the Colonel, hatlefts and out of breath, found himself In the police court and the center of a vigor­ ous inquiry. The hairdresser was sent for, and then the mystery was solved, and in the solution was found a permanent cure for Col. Clifford's jealousy.

One of the most peculiar specimens of the finny tribe that has even been hooked in this section of the country was brought to the New Orleans Times- Democrat office the other evening by William Markei, of 79 Dufossat street, and R. Gogrieve, of 200 Broadway. They caught this curiosity at the Rig- olets, and every fisherman who saw it was puzzled at it None like it has ever been seen here before, it is claimed, but one old sailor says that he saw one in a distant* sea nineteen years ago and that it was called the hogfish. The head of the fish strongly resembles a hog, and the nesh looks like pork. There are three tail fins, but they are unlike those of the ordinary fish. The front part of the curiosity iyr&eep blue in color and the rear is a bright yellow. These colors are so pronounced that at first sight they appear to have been put on with a brush. When it was caught there were several other hues, but these disappeared, and the blue and yellow were fading when it was brought to the Times-Democrat office- Mr. Markel said that the fish wa? swimming on its side, like a flounder, in the reeds nearly half a mile from the bridge when he saw it. It would not bite the bait, but nibbled at it, so he was compelled to hook it by a sud­ den jerk of the line.

Hunt Work and Indigestion go Hand In Hand. Concentrated thought, continued in. robe the stomach of necessary blood, and this is also true of hard physical labor. When a five horse-power engine is made to do ten horse-power work something is going to break. Very often the hard- worked man coming from the field or the office will "bolt" his food in a few min­ utes which will take hours to digest. Then too, many foods are about as useful in the stomach as a keg of nails would be in a fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach refuses to do its work without the proper stimulus which it gets from the blood and nerves. The nerves are weak and "ready to break," bccause they do not get the nourishment they require from the blood, finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide awake when the overworked man at­ tempts to find rest in bed. The application of common sense iu the V treatment of the stomach and the whole . system brings to the busy man the full en­ joyment of life and healthy digestion when he takes Dr. l'ierce's Pleasant Pellets to relieve a bilious stomach or after a too hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and vitalize the blood.
