lOmay-Jy
AM a miserable man," said
Cyrus Maddox gloomily, " and
it is best that the world should
be rid of my presence. No one cares
for me."
"Oh, don't say that uncle," said
Lizzie Silver, beseechingly. " You
know I love you. You are the only
friend I have in the world, and if you
were to die what would become of me?"
"1 suppose young Guy Cheevers
would console you for my lose," said
Mr. Maddox grimly. " At any rate,
I don't care. I will end my troubles
and s rrow tomorrow at 12 M."
And with these fearful words he
strode out of the room, leaving Lizzie
sobbing with her curly black head
resting on a dinner plate.
" What's the matter now, Bess ?
Has the milliner disappointed you in
your love of a bonnet?" asked a warm,
hearty voice, which was the property
of " young Guy Cheevers," as Mr.
Maddox called him, as that gentleman
strode in the room.
"Oh,-Guy !" sobbed Lizzie. "Uncle
Cyrus is going to die tomorrow at 12
o'clock."
" How do you know ?" ashed Guy.
"He said so."
" But how does he know ?"
" He's going to kill himself."
"So as to make himself a true
prophet, eh ?" asked Guy, laughing.
" Oh, Guy don't joke!" cried Lizzie
tearfully. "He will—I know he will."
" I doubt it," said Guy, skeptically.
"But he tried to commit suicide
several times," persisted Lizzie, tear-fully.
" Once he tried to smother
himself witti burning charcoal, but he
forgot to stop the keyhole and I smelt
the smoke and got some neighbors to
break open the door and saved him.
Then he tried to hang himself, but the
cord broke; and he fired a pistol at
himself, but he forgot to put any ball
in it, so that failed ; and then "
" Gracious!" ciied Guy, at Lizzie
stopped for want of breath, "what a
determined man he must be ! Such
perseverance deserves to be rewarded.
Have you any idea what plan he will
try new ?"
".I'm'sure I don't know, said Lizzie,
mournfully. "Something dreadful, I
suppose."
" But what does he want to make
away with himself for ?" asked Guy,
wonderingly.
" Why, he says he is a miserable
man, a burden to every one, and that
life has no joys for him, and that he is
weary of this world ''
"And would like to try the next?'
said Guy. " Perhaps he won't hud it
so pleasant as the one he is quitting,
What an unreasonable man he must
be! He is rich, talented, healthy, and
has a very pretty niece"—and here, in
a moment of abstraction, he allowed
his arm to wander around Miss Sil-ver's
waist—" and what more can he
want! But some people never are
satisfied. It see us he is determined to
pry into futurity, and it seems a pity
to disappoint so laudable an ambition,
but duty—duty to myself—compels
me to interfere. I dislike any scandal
or excitement. A Coroner's jury
would cause both, therefore we must
balk his little game."
" But how ?" asked Lizzie, curious-ly.
" A prudent general," said Guy,
haughtily, " never confides his plans
to his army, particularly when the
army is of the feminine gender ; so ex-cuse
me, mum's the word. But rest
assured, my dearest Elizabeth, that un
less your worthy uncle shuffles off this
mortal coil in a surreptitious manner
before 12 M. tomorrow he will not do
it afterward—of course, I mean illegal
Farewell till tomorrow."
Having concluded this address Guy
strode of in a tragic manner, leaving
Lizzie greatly surprised, but still quite
reassured, for in her opinion what
Guy couldn't do wasn't worth doing.
The next morning Mr. Maddox
made his appearance very saturmine
and gloomy, and ate his breakfast with
a mournful air that was terribly im-pressive.
Having finished he then
took leave of his niece in a feeling
manner.
" I am about to leave you," said he
mournfully. " I am about to end this
life of misery. I hope that you may
be happy."
" Oh don't go !" said Lizzie, tearful-ly
clinging to him and looking into his
face pleadingly.
" It's useless," said Mr. Maddox
firmly. " My mind is fixed and noth-ing
you. can do can persuade me to re-linquish
my purpose. But you, my
dear child, shall not be unprovided
for. I intend to make my will in the
t«-w hours that are left me and you
will not be forgotten. Good bye, my
dear child, farewell!" and then, after
embrac ng his niece fervently, Mr.
Maddox rushed from the room frantic-ally
and securely locked himself into
his own room and began to prepare!
himself'for his last journey.
" Nine o'clock !" he said to himself,
looking at his watch. " Three hours
yet Enough to do all I haye to do
First to make my will !"
The last will and testament of Cyrus
Maddox was evidently not a long one,
as it was finished in less than an hour.
' Eleven o'clock!" said Mr. Maddox,
" and I have finished. How slow the
time passes, to be sure! Now, what
shall I do until 12 o'clock, for I am
determined not to die until noon——"
A knock at the door.
" Go away !" cried Mr. Maddox,
angrily. " You can't come in."
you see I want you to try as many as
possible. Well! .veil ! ' he added, Mr.
Maddox grasped the poker, threaten
ingly, " I'm going. But I'll leaye this
box here and before you get rid of
yourself just make a memoiandum of
what you will use and leave it on the
table, because you know there will
probably be nothing left of y< u to
draw conclusions from, and so "
Here any further speech was cut
short by Mr. Maddox seizing his visi-tor
and hustling him out into the pas-
" I am very sorry to disagree with
you," said a voice outside the door,
" but I can come in. I have a dupli-cate
key here and if you don't opea
t! e door I will."
Mr. Maddox rose and unlocked the
door savagely, and Guy Cheevers
stalked into the room, carryiug an ob-long
box under his arm.
He placed the box on the table,
and then took a seat opposite Mr.
Maddox and stared blankly at him.
" What do you want ?" asked Mr.
Maddox fiercely. "Don't you see I
am engaged ?"
" Oh, I know," said Guy, " what
you are about to do. Don't think that
I am going to interfere—not at all.
But before you make your quietus I
wish to ask you a few questions.
Have you provided for your niece's
future welfare ?"
" What's that to you ?"
" Considerable. I am .about to
marry Miss Silver ; so her interests are
naturally mine.''
" Then she is provided for—amply."
"Thank you for your information
Very glad to hear it. And now ex-cuse
the apparent impertinence of the
question, but where is your will ?"
' Here," said Mr. Maddox, laying
his hand on it.
•' Suppose you give it to me to take
care of?"
" Giye it you ? Why, pray ?"
" It might become misplaced," ex-plained
Guy.
I'll keep it myself," said Mr. Mad-dox,
roughly. '
Then just leave a memorandum
on the table, said Guy, earnestly, " to
tell where it is. It will save trouble,
perhaps."
Get out," cried Mr. Maddox, an-grily.
.Ah, I see," said Mr. Cheevers,
coolly ; " in a hurry to begin. Well,
won't detain you, but I have a little
suggestion to offer."
Well?" .said Mr. Maddox, impa-tiently.
It is this," said Guy. " Miss Sil-ver
informs me that you have made
several previous efforts to cut short
your trouble and your breath, and al-ways
unsuccessfully. Now, it seems
to me you don't go the right way about
it. This box," and here he opened
the box before alluded to, " contains
several little plans that I think might
please you. Here's one," and he
showed a little steel instrument.
What's that?'' asked Mr. Mad-dox,
curiously.
This," said Guy, " is an article
that you can place round your neck
like a collar, then, by striking your
neck, a sharp spike is driven right in-to
your jugular vein—"
" But that would kill me," said Mr.
Maddox, starting.
" Well, ain't that what you want?"
demanded Guy, sternly. " Now here's
another," he went on. " Here's a
wheel, you observe; you place the
band round your neck, pass it round
the wheel and give it two or three
turns—then let go. The recoil will
twist your head almost off your
shoulders—kill you to a certaiuty."
Mr Maddox stared at him with un-feigned
horror.
"Then," went on Guy cooly, "here's
a little package, a torpedo. It con
tains nitroglycerine. You place it in,
your mouth, snap your teeth on it,
and off goes your head, smashed into
millions of atoms."
"Good heavens!" exclaimed Mr.
Maddox, fearfully. " What a terrible
idea!"
" Not at all," said Guy soothingly.
" Beautiful invention—I quite pride
myself on it—scientific suieide, you
see! Anybody can take poi-on or
blow their brains out, but to do it
scientifically requires real talent. You
have it, and I am confident that you
will reflect credit on my inventive
skill. Now, he continued confidential-ly
> " if you could use all three invent
ions at once—cut your jugular,garrote
yourself, and blow your head off, all
at once—why, I'd thank you."
" What!" cried Mr. Maddox fierce-ly,
" do you think I'm craz\ ? Do
you think I'm going to use afiy of
your infernal inventions?" Get out
of this room, you cold-blooded villain,
before I throw you out of the window!"
"But I have a great many more to
show you," remonstrated Guy, " and
"Well!'' said Lizzie, auxLusly, to
Guy.
" I think it's all right," said Guy,
grinning. ' Get the lunch ready.
Your uncle is all right. He'll be
down."
And, sure enough, so he was, and.
though he spoke not, he ate most vo-
-raciously of everything.
" Lizziej" said he. suddenly, after
an hour's pause, "did you ever see an
infernal old fool and an idiot?"
" Never, that I knew of," said
Lizzie. " Why ?"
" Because just look at me and you'll
see one," said Mr. Maddox grimly
and he stalked up-stairs.
Up to the present time of writing
Cyrus Maddox is still alive, enjoying
remarkably good health, and he seems
to be on friendly terms with Mr.
Cheevers and his wife Lizzie. He
probably forgave that gentleman on
account of a discovery that he made
that the nitro glycerine torpedo con-tained
nothing more dangerous than
salt, and the other " infernal invent-ions"
were infernal in about the same
ratio, but Guy still maintains that
when persons are weary of life they
should end their troubles by scientific
suicide.
Spending Money For Boys.
Two principles are good to inculcate
at an early age. The first is, " Earn
and have." Let the boy feel that his
father and mother earn what they
have; that they have the right to
spend it as they choose, for need or
pleasure ; that he has not the right to
take and use, for needless, unadvised
pleasure, what he has not earned ; that
because he was not the earner, he must
be accountable for all he uses.
The second principle is that home,
food, clothing and education are full
compensation for all he can give of
faithfulness, industry, obedience, earn-est
study and good habits. Whatever
else parents give is of their special
kindness, and not to be viewed by the
boy as his due. Many heartaches
would be saved if boys were made to
feel these two principles in a right,
broad, kind way from the beginning.
It is good to have such a wholesome
relation between a boy and his parents
that he can always feel free to go to
them, ask for money to go to a speci-fied
place, or buy a specified thing,
get the money if it is right and be re-fused
if it is wrong, and all in a rea-sonable
way ; or to give a boy an al-lowance,
and require an itemized ac-count
of its expenditure.
Either way makes the hoy account-able
to higher authority, and helps
growth in wisdom and care. Be sure
you watch closely in either case to see
if your boy's word is to be relied upon.
Do not be suspicious, but be watchful.
It is not good for a boy to feel sus-picion,
but it is good for him to feel
watchfulness.
Some parents feel that when a boy
begins to earn money in small sums,
he should have that to spend freely
and without account. If the boy goes
away from home he must do this ; it is
almost the only way. But if he stays
in the home, it is very unwise not to
make him pay a portion of his wages
toward his board, even if he earns only
two or three dollars a week. Be sure
he will value the home more highly
for abiding by the principle, " Earn
and have."
Getting Even.
"And so you have lost several hun-dred
dollars by your last venture.
What are you going to do about it?"
"Oh, I shall have to economize."
" In what way for instance ?"
" By pouring out bigger drinks
wheu I iudulge in a smile. I'll soon
make it up in that way, especially as
I now drink a great deal oftener than
before I met with my loss."
Wild Geese.
Thousands of wild geese go to solitary
places.on the Labrador coast, and I
know that hundreds upon hundreds of
thousands go to the silent spots in
the interior of Newfoundland, building
their nests around the grayelly shores
ot the ponds and lakes.
Think of this flight from the main-land
out over the stormy waters of the
Gulf of St. Lawrence, .vhere the birds
have often to make their way through
leagues of fog with nothing to guide
them !
They usually leave the mainland
with a southwest wind, rising slowing
into the air, and ascending very high.
They wheel this way and that, as if
establishing their bearings, and then
slowly begin their way toward the
distant island of Newfoundland.
They fly by night and clay, and
often there is not so much as a star
by night to guide them. As far as I
can learn, the wild goose will not take
rest under any stress, on the sea
I have watched them in the autumn
take their departure from Newfound-land
for the continent. They gather
fiom the interior in large flocks, feed-ing
about the uplands till a steady
northeaster begins to blow. Then I
have seen them float up, up, till they
appeared as small as mosquitoes; but
no captain that ever sailed the seas
can lay out his course with greater
accuracy than these birds. The land
is not visible to them when they leave,
not for many hours afterward.
The captain of a schooner trading
between Charlottetown, Prince Ed-ward's
Island, and St. Johns, New-foundland,
tells a curious story. He
says that he was lying to in a storm in
the Gulf late in the fall, during one of
his usual trips, aud was awakened in
the morning by the mate, who said,
<' Come on the deck and see what we've
got here."
" Judge my astonishment," he said,
" to find perched all about the deck
between twenty and thirty wild geese,
as tame as chickens."
The birds, it appears, left the coast
with a northeaster after them, but
when they were midway across the
Gulf the wind chopped round and it
became foggy.
They became bewildered but would
not alight in the sea, preferring rather
to perch on the schooner's deck. This
is all the stranger because the wild
goose is one of the wariest of birds, and
one of those most afraid of man.
" Looking Backwards."
The Chinese Government is tracihg
the Chinese race back into the misty
past, and it has discovered that China
was a great empire 3,000 years B. C.
They are now working on a clue to
lead up to the discovery of America
by a Chinaman, who sailed away and
was never heard of again.
A Discouraged Outlook.
" I have heen giving to charity for
the last thirty years," says a Cincin-nati
merchant, " and to-day I cannot
say that one single person is any better
off for what I have done. Out of fifty
different people whom I have befriend-ed
during the past fifteen years not
one of them has made theTeast effort
to advance himself beyond want."
What He Wanted.
Old gentleman—" I have but one
daughter, and I can't afford to let you
take her from under my roof."
Young man—" Exactly, sir; and I
can't afford to take her from under it.
What I want is to live under your
roof with her."
Pride Tied Their Tongues.
A strange case oi dotn< stic infelicity
which has finally culminated in the
separation of a man and wife who
have not spoken to each other for fif-teen
years, has come to light in Hor-sham
township, Montgomery county,
Pa. The husband, who was formerly
highly respected citizen, has disap-peared.
Miss Hannah L. Miller, of
Philadelphia, was married in 1870 to
J. Henry Knott, of Maryland. They
settled in Horsham township, where
they have since resided. The family
troubles began shortly after their
youngest child was born, about fifteen
years ago, since which time not a
word has passed between them. Mrs.
Knott, when asked how the difficulties
originated, replied that she scarcely
knew.
" We could never agree," she said,
and the trouble came on gradually.
He was overbearing and refused to al-low
me any privileges. Finally, in a
paroxysm of rage, he refused to speak
to me. We were both too proud to
give in, and have lived together fifteen
years without exchanging a word. If
he wanted to ask me anything he would
ask it through one of the children.
He had meditated leaving some time.
His father is a well-to-do farmer in
Maryland, and I presume that is
where he has gone. He wrote to my
son from West Chester and also from
Baltimore, saying he was well, and
hoped we were the same."
Mamie Miller's New Nose.
CLEVELAND: A remarkable surgical
opeiation, and one rarely performed,
has just taken place at the Huron
street homcepathic hospital, Dr. H. F.
Biggar being the surgeon. It was
practically that of buiding a new nose
for a young woman. The patient,
Miss Mamie Miller, is 16 years old.
A cancerous affection has destroyed
the left side and lower portion of her
nose. The operation was performed
Saturday afternoon.
First, the deceased flesh was cut
away. Then a flap of skin and flesh
of the proper size and form to replace
the lost portion of the nose was cut
from the muscle of the arm. The flap
was allowed to remain attached to the
arm on one side. The arm was then
raised to the face and over the head
in such a manner as to permit the
the flesh of the arm to be grafted and
stitched to the edges of the lost portion
of the nose. The arm was then placed
in a specially constructed harness and
securely strapped up to the face in that
position.
The operation promises to be entirely
successfully. The living flesh of the
arm has grown to the nose, and it is
expected that Saturday the flap will
be seyered where it still adheres to the
arm, and the slight remaining opera-tion
of fitting and stitching the re-maining
edge to the nose will then be
performed. From present appear-ances
the healing will be so perfect as
to leave little or nor scar.
