KAMA RUPA.
It was at the close of an interesting
di-cussion of Theosophical matters that
my friend made the remark:
"Weik I won't say there is nothing in
it, but in my opinion lt is altogether too
abstruse and complicated for universal
comprehension and adoption. A religion to obtain among the masses must
be simple and easily understood, and
there never will be one so fitting as that
of the Christ. Still, there is one thing
Theosophy teaches in which I am a firm
believer, and in that bnt one of thousands. That is the principle of Kama
Rupa, er the survival after death of
the evil spirit which has animated a depraved man or woman in life.
"This spirit lingers about the scene of
its earth life, seeking to influence others
to wickedness, or it seeks ont the lowest
haunts of vice and degradation where
evil natures gather, and tastes and
habits similar to its own are gratified.
Sometimes it is attracted to a nature
essentially wicked, but weak, and enters
in and dwells with it. Sometimes the
influence is only felt, and again the
demon spirit is so malignantly strong as
to be at times visible. I had a convincing experience last summer"-— He
paused and looked at me, a somber light
in his fine eyes.
''Tell it," insinuatingly.
"You will not believe it, and will dish
it up for the delectation of your newspaper readers."
"Of course."
"Yon are honest at any rate. Well,
you shall have the facts.' I am not sure
it will not be a relief to talk about it.
Last summer I, ln company with several others, took possession of an old
manor house, romantically eituated on
a high point of the Maryland side of
Chesapeake bay. None of ns had been
in that locality before, and had gone on
the recommendation of Roger Kent, a
real estate agent in whose hands the
property was for rent or sale.
"The party consisted of thirteen, but
this was not noted until after our* arrival there. There were my father and
mother, the Kents (pere and mere),
Roger and his sister Hope, who was my
promised wife; my cousins Rose and
Haydn Upton and two young married
couples, named Jackson and Cairns.
These with myself made up the party,
and you might search the world over and
not find such another happy one as that
when the steamer deposited it at the
foot ef the bluff that lovely July day.
"We all lived on the same street at
home, and had been friends and neigh-
bora all our lives. Father and Mr. Kent
had been partners in business for thirty
years. Each knew the other to be a
man of the strictest integrity, and nothing had ever come between them. 1
worshiped Hope Kent andafie seemed to
return my love. Roger was very much
in love with Cousin Rose, and her brother
was very plainly smitten with my sweetheart, though this last gave me not one
pang of jealousy, sucb confidence had I
ia ha. The two other couples were
models of connubial happiness, never
quite content when out of each other's
sight.
"Everybody was pleased with their
new quarters and predicted a most enjoyable summer. It was a huge, rambling old house, fall of crooked passages
and winding stairs, and upon onr arrival we scattered over it, each selecting
the room that took his fanoy. There
were half a dozen parlors and sitting
rooms, bnt the one that pleased us most
for a general place of assembly fronted
on the bay, as we never tired of watching the blue sparkling water. The room
was scantily furnished, as was the whole
house, in fact, bnt there was a charm
about the queer, old time belongings to
which we modern men and women were
peculiarly susceptible.
"On the north of the room four long
windows afforded a glorious view, while
on the east the same number let in the
morning sunshine. On the south a
heavily draped archway led into the
library, a rather gloomy apartment, bnt
it soon eame to be much frequented because of the rows of old, old books still
upon its shelves. Opening from this
was a bedroom, so horribly gloomy with
its black furniture and trappings that
we involuntarily shuddered on crossing
its threshhold, and not one of the company would oonsent to occupy it. There
seemed something eerie in its musty
atmosphere, and all confessed to a feeling of relief when the door was closed
and locked behind us, never to my
knowledge to be reopened during onr
day.
"I am thus particular in describing
this part of the house because of what
followed. For a time all went well.
We younger ones sailed on the bay,
picnicked in the wood back of the house
and made excursions to various points
of interest. Everybody seemed ideally
happy. The only jar was felt by myself,
when Haydn Upton was too graciously
smiled upon by my divinity, or ln his
caatf when I was in first favor, as was
my right.
"The elders seemed equally happy and
content in their quieter modes of passing away the ''long, drowsy summer
hours. The first sign of the presence of
the serpent in our Eden was on returning one day from an excursion I fonnd
my father and Mr. Kent engaged in
heated argument. Both men were angry, bnt on my inquiring as to the cause
Beemed ashamed that anything so trivial
Bhould have made them quarrel. That
same day, a little later, we were all
gathered in the east room. It was dusk,
but the lamps had not yet been brought
in, and we sat about in restful attitudes
discussing the events of the day.
"Directly across from where 1 was
lounging at Hope Kent's side, and near
one of the windows, sat Mr. Jackson,
engaged in an animated but low toned
conversation with pretty little Mrs.
Cairns. Not far away, yet ont of earshot, sat Mrs. Jackson. I could see she
was watching her husband intently, and
the peculiar expression her face wore
instantly riveted my attention. Suddenly she turned her head as if listening, and as 1 gazed the dim outline of
a pale face seemed to shape itself beside
hers' a man's face, witli demoniacal,
(littering eyes. With an amazed exclamation I Btarted np and crossed to
her-side, but there was no one there of
course, and I returned to my place beside
my betrothed feeling decidedly silly.
"Everybody had glanced up at my
hasty movement, but made BO comment, so I subsided into my chair, answering Hope's remarks at random and
feeling most dreadfully puzzled. When
I glanced again at Mrs. Jackson, she
was looking out of the window with a
pale, sad face. 'Good heavens!' thought
I, 'can tbat woman be jealuis of that
noble husband of here?' The_rt searched
the room for Cairns, and was horrified
to find the same dreadful look on his
face. And—was 1 mad, Cr did 1 again
see that diabolical face bent as if whispering in his ear?
" 'Cairns,' 1 called, without an instant's pause, 'ring for lights.'
"He started violently at sound of my
voice, and his face resumed its usual
amiable look as he sprang up to do my
bidding. After the lights cune 1 saw
no more visionary faces and should have
thought it all a fancy on my part had
aot cousin Rose found opportunity to
whisper, 'Did you see that horrible face
beside Mrs. Jackson's?' and she became
very angry when 1 laughed at her and
told her -he must have been dreaming.
In the end I convinced her of the folly
of such an idea, bnt I have many times
been sorry we did not tell the others instead of hushing it up.
"Well, after that night tilings were
never quite the same. A spirit of discord was ever in our midst. We got a
habit of looking over onr shoulders,
though I don't think any one remarked
it bnt myself, as if conscious some one
or something was ever beside us. A
malign influence seemed to have taken
possession of the piaoe, and to have got
into all our hearts. Roger and Rose
had quarreled. Hadyn became offensively attentive to my fiancee and evinced
such a growing antipathy toward myself that all intercourse between us became uncomfortable.
"Many times in the dusk 1 thought 1
sa**1 that devilish face, and the lips
seemed ever whispering diabolical
wickedness into the heart of some one.
It pervaded the whole house, and the
only ones undisturbed were mother and
Mrs. Kent.
" 'Oh, dear I' sighed Rose one day
after tormenting Roger until he had
gone away with white faoe and woeful
eyes; 'I don't know what possesses me
nowadays. I seem to delight in wickedness, and 1 never was so before. What
can it be, Royce?'
" 'I believe some evil spirit haunts this
house,' was my reply. 'Let as try to
induce the rest to go somewhere else for
the remainder of the summer.'
"For a moment Rose seemed seriously
considering the subjeot; then I saw that
half turning of the head I so dreaded,
and she laughed mockingly:
" 'Leave this delightful place? Why,
Royce, yon must be mad. 1 don't want
to go. I rather enjoy being wicked-
It's a new sensation, you know,' and she
ran off, seemingly much amused at my
disappointed face.
"I tried to induce Hope Kent to propose a change, bat all to no purpose,
and so time ran cm. One evening I was
walking with her oa the terrace, and
her manner was so kind, so like the
dear old days before we went to that ao
cursed place, that I was emboldened to
ask her to set a day for our marriage.
"At my words she turned such a
flushed, happy looking face to me that
for a moment I was sure her answer
would be all 1 desired. But all at onoe
her expression changed, and I saw, or
imagined I saw, for one horrible instant
that diabolical face beside hers, the malicious eyes fastened upon mine, while
the lips moved beside her ear.
"Grasping her arm, I cried excitedly,
'Run!' Yielding to the impulse of my
hand, she sped lightly beside me to
where the others were gathered on the
veranda; then she turned upon me with
flashing eyes:
" 'How dare yoa frighten me so? Your
face was just dreadful.'
"Of oourse I could not explain, but I
have often since wished I had, even at
the risk of ridicule and chaff. After
that Hadyn was always more in favor
than myself, and her oontinued coldness
almost drove me mad. There is no use
in going over in detail all the events at
that wretched time, bnt here is a list of
the results:
"Mr. and Mrs. Jackson have been
through 'the mire of the divorce court;'
Mr. and Mrs. Cairns' wedded bliss has
forever lost its flavor; father and Mr.
Kent have dissolved partnership and
are bitter nemies. Mother and Mrs.
Kent were the only ones uninfected by
that foul Kama Rupa, yet they an
made unhappy by their husbands' rapturing of lifelong ties. Rose Upham is
married, but not to Roger Kent, who is
going to the dogs in consequence."
Here my friend paused and gazed
gloomily ont upon the snowy street.
"Weil," I said, when the silence had
lasted some minutes.   "And you?'.'

eyes turned upon my face. "I ferreted

found, as I had expected, that one of the
most diabolically wicked of men had
lived and died there, and that his influence so pervaded the place that no one
had ever lived happily there since his
time, also that more than one who had
gone there pore and good had gone
away to a life of wickedness."
Another silence which lasted until I
again broke it.
"Is that all?"
"Not quite. The curtain falls on the
last act of the drama tomorrow at St.

Mrs. Haydn Upham."—Rye Johnson in

Doing Som. Shooting.
"It once cost me fifty dollars to shoot
at myself," said Frank E. Blair to the
Story Tellers' club that was holding an
informal session on tbe sidewalk at the
Southern. "I got into a Baltimore hotel
very late one .-li^ht ■-■nd very tired. A
thunderstorm wa. r<* .'ing at the time,
and I am as afraid of lightning as a
sweet girl graduate of a mouse, so 1
turned oif the light, intending to disrobe
in the darkn.ss. 1 had taken my pistol
out of my pocket to piaoe it nnder my
pillow, when there was a blindi*i->> flash
of lightning. I caught sight of a villainous looking fellow not ten feet distant with a pistol in his hand. He was
standing in a crouching, expectant attitude, and I felt sure that his intention
was to murder and rob me. 'Who's
there?' 1 called, bnt got no reply. 1
grasped my pistol firmly and advanced
a step or two. There was another flash
of lightning, and there was the villain,
almost within arm's length, gun in
hand. 1 pulled the trigger twioe. There
were two stunning reports and a crashing of glass. Then I realized that I had
done it—made an ass of myself. I sat
down on the edge of the bed, ashamed
to turn on the light. It was a fnll length
mirror. I had shot my own shadow to
smithereens—had mistaken myself for
a cutthroat."—St. Lords Globe-Democrat. 	
A Noble Husband.
The historian Xenophon relates that
when Cyrus, the founder of the Persian
empire, had taken captive a young
prince of Armenia, together with his
beautiful and blooming wife, of whom
he was remarkably foad, they were
brought before the tribunal of Cyrus to
receive their sentence. The warrior inquired of the prince what he would give
to be reinstated in his kingdom, and he
replied that he valued his orown and his
liberty at a very low rate, bnt if the
noble conqueror wonld restore bis beloved wife to her former dignity and
possessions he would willingly pay his
life for the purchase. The prisoners
were dismissed to enjoy their freedom
and former honors, and each was lavish
in praise of the conqueror. "And yon,"
said the prince, addressing his wife,
"what think you of Cyrus?" "I did not
observe him," she replied. "Not observe
him!" exclaimed her husband. "Upon
whom, then, was your attention fixed?"
"Upon that dear and generous man," she
replied, "who declared his readiness to
purchase my liberty at the expense of
his life."   	
Canvas, Orators.
Humorous, if a trifle unkind, was the
orator,-who, when describing the inordinate love of praise which characterized an opponent, said, "He is so fond
of being praised that I really believe he
wonld be content to give np the ghost if
it were but to look np and read the
stonecutter's puff on his tombstone."
This is in striking contrast to the graceful
and witty compliment paid to the beautiful Dachess of. Devonshire and her
sister, Lady Duncannon, of whom, when
they canvassed the eleotors of Westminster on behalf of Fox in 1184, it was
said that "never did two suoh lovely
portraits appear on canvas."—London

How One Fainter Was Started.
The Pall Mall Gazette tells a story of
a British—or was it an American?—collector, who paused before a picture by
the late Belgian artist, Mauve, for the
first time, having been struck by its
beauty. He asked how muoh It cost,
and was told $125. "Nonsense," he said,
"it's too cheap. Make it $500 and I'll
take a dozen more from him at the same
price." Thus was Manve's financial suocess begun.
Cor_lc_.n Bandits.
Corsican bandits have friends in every

Above the sands their crescents shine.

The Paynims scouring o'er the plain
Praise Allah for the prize thus sent
A captive to their chiertain's tent.

Swore by his beard that ne'er wai seen
So fair a maid since Mahmoud's day.
And sent her scathless on her way-

Unconscious of its lovely load.
With precious gifts of silk and gold.

"Well, I'm gosh darned, M'randyt"
"Do you jest come along, Jesse, an yott
been a-married nigh onter forty years."
The twain were from the interior manifestly. He was of conventional rural
dress, baggy pantaloons and coat sleeves*
too short, and a hat that half concealed
his features. He wore huge glasses, and 1
was peering through them with all hia -
might and main at a revolving female
dummy in a State street window. She
wore a plain, black frock, short in the
skirt and high in the neck, and a very
plain bonnet of antique architecture-
While he stared she tugged at his sleeves.
"Well, Pm goshed darnedl" he repeated, giving no heed to the entreaties
of his wife.
"Jesse, Jesse, do oome away," shfc
urged. "Why, everybody's a-sighting:
of ye."
"Well, Fm gosh darnedl" he repeated^
for the third time. "If that thar gal-
don't top anything fer looks I ever see-
Wonder what wages they give her fur*
spinnin around all the time. Not muchr
I reokon. Most any purty gal 'ud be-
glad er a show er p'inted at 'n praised
by every feller 'at comes along:, er*
thousand er more a day, Fm thinkin." *
"Jesse, Jesse," pleaded the wife,.pul_ '
ing at his elbow more vigorously, "them:
youngsters is langhin at. ye."
"She's dooced purty, "n she knows it»*
he added as he regarded her more critically.     "Yaas, she knows it.     Wat .
purty gal don't know that? I shud think
her feller 'ouldn't like it, though.   But,
law, M'randy, she hain't a-mindin him,
w'at wi' all tiie oglin 'n winkin she gets.
Most er young wimmin has big enough
heart fer more ner one till she gits settled down.   Law, Sua, blamed if she *
dont smile sweeter nar a peach oa that

It do beat all. I bet she kain't oook a

she's purty enough ter be looked at, but
whea it oomes ter gittia a wife"	
"Jesse," interrupted his spouse firmly,
as she gave bim a jerk that caused his
teeth to rattle, "if you do not come right
straight erlong Til have you tuk up fer
a lunytic, that I will."
"All right, M'randy, all right," said
the old man meekly and with a sigh, as
he dragged himself along after her. "It
sorter tuck me back ter old times when
I were a youngster around among the
purtiest on 'em," and he licked his chops
in apparent enjoyment of ancient days.
"Yon*re what yoa alius was, Jesse—
aa old fool—'nther'll be ao stoppin afore
winders in this here wicked city," and
she quickened her steps as she spoke and .
forced him to keep pace with her.—*«
