2. Kendall, Montana, July 14, 1903 The Broken House ICej , THE young and pretty bride felt worried and out of sorts. Only a short eight weeks ago she had mar- ried her dear Gus and had followed him to his home in W—, and . al- ready he had begun to neglect her to go out of aa evening, and to leave her alone in the big house. He had tried to convince her that he could not altogether neglect his former friends and companions, and that she ought not to object to his meeting them on two evenings, every week, and to pass an agreeable hour or two in their company over a frienaly game of whist; but she simply did 'not comprehend how he could even think of going anywhere without taking her along. \Oh the dreadful evenings I have to spend,\ she complained with tears in her eyes. \I am obliged to sit nere all alone because I have as yet had no chance to form any aequaint- ances here. Naturally I get home• iek. Often I feel like leaving every- thing and taking the train home to my part nts.\ \Would it not be better, darling, if you went to bed instead and tried to sleep?\ \That is just where the trouble is,\ she replied, still in tears. \I am afraid. Our servant sleeps way up in the attic. She would not even hear were anything to happen to me.\ \Why you foolish child, what is there to be afraid of; what is going to happen?\ \Are not the papers every day full of burglaries and robberies?\ she sersist ed. \Think of the -- many at ran- gers that flock to a well-known health resort like this,. Nothing Is impossible under such circum- 'dances!\ The husband looked thoughtfully at hisqweet bride. • \No dear, I do isojwiityciti - for frighten yourself into Mneu. I prom- ise you herewith, of my own free will (the poor fellow could not help heaving a sigh as he said this), to re- turn promptly at 11 o'clock whenever I go to meet my friends. It is impos- ‘ible far • to withdraw from their . - ociety altogether, for they N1 . .1111(1 ridicule and make fun of me, and call henpesked. Burglars rarely put n tin ir appearance before the hour if 11, the streets being full of life ind traffic. Good -by, darling, and - dense do not feel lonesome.\ Annie sighed and submitted resign - oily to her fate. She read awhile; ,lte then took up her embroidery. a 'resent for her mother; she played a Tame of solitaire, and finally she steed restlessly up and down the -oom. At home there had been a arge family circle, hence it was very rying to her to be left to mech to ierself in her new surroundings. At ten o'clock even the familinr ioises in the kitchen eeased, for the .ervant had gone upstairs to her at - ii', and the poor woman felt the old 'eeling of distress and fright creee aver her; the sitting -room was beat - 'd to the rear of the house, and there ,vas a hallway between it and the 'ront rooms. She therefore eould riot -hear the usual street noises. A leath-like silence reigned in the room. Fired. and yet excited, she threw herself on the lounge. She sailly re - fleeted why beer houses and card par- r es had been called into existence. and by her thoughts became more and more confused, and she fell into a sound slumber. - It was 11:05 when Gus arrived breathlessly and post haste at his house door and tried to fit his key into the lock. Poor fellow! Had evil spirits con- spired to get him into trouble? Click --the key broke in two. and the bit stuck fast in the keyhole, handle and hartsl alone remaining ia s his hands. He knocked; he called; he knocked again and louder, for, unfortifitatrly, there was no house bell -all in vain. • \I hardly thin'k my wife has retired as early as this,\ be refle•-tel. \but. of coure, she is In the sitting -room, and most likely she cannot hear me.\ Once more he knocked-C•la time very loud -he called until his voice s -s s te - iarre. No reply! To fill his cup of misery to the brim it commenced to rain, and he was without an umbrella. \Perbans Annie has gone to bed after all,\ he thought, shivering and erinr:ag wet. \Shall I go to a hotel? No! What would the people think? The only place that I know of that may still be open is the railway derwit. for there is a train arriving at midnight.\ He went down the street in the nouring s eain, and at last found him- self in the waiting -room of the sta- tion. \A glass of beer, sir?\ asked an er\rprising waiter. Gus shook him- self. He felt ciailly. - Punch,\ he said, \and make it hot!\ He drank sr.e glees, end then another, and still another, to while away the time. He was9he only person_ there. In due time the last train had arrived, and he could stay no longer. They were about to close up.. In sheer desperation he looked at his watch. It was one o'clock when he emerged into the street, and it had ceased to rain. The full moon seemed to grin and wink at him malieiously through the clouds as though she meant to say: \See old man. it serves . you right! Why must you go out to play cards in leave your wife at home in lonelirmss?\ In spite of the repeated potations he still felt chilly. \There is no help for it but a good run,\ he said to himself, starting on a lively trot through the city; first down one street, then up another, through the suburbs until he reached the open country and back again without stop or rest for fear of catching cold. The town clock struck the hour of four. \It is still too early to get into the house,\ he said, \the front door Is never unlocked. beforasda....WelOckl Will they be able to unlock the door anyway? A piece of my likey sticks in the lock; the women are imprisoned and cannot get out. But now I can stand this no longer. I must have something hot to drink and sit down somewhere. There is a train at fsur. o'clock,\ and forthwith he once more wended his way to the railroad depot. A snug corner and a cup of hot. coffee somewhat restored him. hut he was very tired and pretty soon he was as sound asleep in his corner as his wife had been the night before on her lounge. And how did his wife fare? She awoke In the middle of the night with a start, almost frightened out of her wits by a horrid dream, hi which her husband had appeared be- fore her, wounded, bleeding. and torn by huge bloodhounds. Pretty soon, however, she comprehended the situ- ation. Her face bathed in tears, she pared restlessly up and down the room wringing her hands. \Oh. the wretch! To stay out all night! duat to think of it! Such a man has the effrontery to talk to me of love. Not content to ea, like a villain, he even had to make fun of me, lost night by pretending he would henceforth be home at 11 o'clock. \Who would ever have thought him so base? They close the beer house after midnight, hence he cannot pre- tend to be playing cards there all night. Heaven knows where he is spending the night, in whose com- pany he is enjoying himself, while I-1 But he'll lind that I am not his dupe. I shall leave him at mite. There is a train at seven o'clock in the morning which I am going to take and go home to my parents\ - and so forth and so on. More wring- ing of her hands, more tears, more self-pity and accusations, until ip her eyes her husband appeared a veritable Bluebeard. At five o'clock she called the serv- ing maid, whom she sent to the gar- ret for a valise aid commenced to pack. The maid said nothing. but she was surprised that her master had not risen- and did not help his wife. llowever, she made the coffee and then went after a cab. The front door was wide open, and a locksmith busy with the big lock, when Annie appeared in the halt. The landlady ran to meet her, ex- plainirg in a hurry of excitement: \Did you hear about it, madam? A thief was here last night and made an attempt to enter the house. Sonic one must have frightened him off. Ile left a broken key stuck fast in the lock, and I was - unable to unloi: the door. I had to call from the win- dow until I aroused a neighbor, who ran for a locksmith. Now I am go- ing to have a patent lock put on and spoil their little game. But you look very pale, my dear madam. I an, sorry to have frightened you with my burglar story. Are you going to take a ride so early in the morning?\ Annie nodded and passed on. She was glad that the woman had not seen her valise, which her maid had already put into the cab. \What a narrow escape I had last night. How near I came being robbed -perhaps worse!\ She was -now thoroughly angry. \So snitch more reason ar leaving the, fellow. no matter the consevences! For the present I shall remain with my parents.\ Thus musing, she arrived at the depot. Before purchasing her ticket shc intended to leave her valise in the waiting -room. Annie entered and made for an empty table, when sud- denly -she dropped the valise and al- most screamed aloud -wasn't that her husband, \her\ Gus, sitting there in a corner and snoring loud enough to make everybody in the room smile at his nasal powers? Sueden'y the sleeper opened his eyes. Whatever the outcome, she must avoid a scene In a - finite - room. Annie tried to appear qulte uncon- cerne',rrd tock a seat beside her husband. Somehow her anger had suddenly vanished. \Oh darling, what brought me' -T Mean rather what brought you - here.?\ lie asked, astonished at the unexpected appearance of his wife, dressed for a journey. \Never misc.', dear. Don't bother about that now,\ she whispered. \Came let us ride home, when I will explain all.\ Gus acquiesced in silence. All he could do was io drag himself to a cab. And then explanations were in or- der. Annie had no reason to (lout) , her husband's narrative of his adven- tures during the night. But he could not quite make out from her ex- plaitations what had taken her to the railway station. Ile was, however, too ill to ask many questions. Arrhed at home she simply tell the astonished servant that \they had changed their mind and would not go away, because her husbeird, who had preceded her to the depot. be -n stahlenly takst.sick. - and -at her aft 'r a phys.cian. -;:s. was very sic.;.; for :wo wee:, • ..e could not leave his bed. At Let Gus g3t well and tl - otieS, he WOd.li now and then go to have a social game of whist, his wife never again doubted him, even if he stayed out later than \eleven.\ -Translated from the German. NEW CURE FOR CONSUMPTION. Dermas Physician Declares That Zaealyptits Fames Will De- stroy the Dimes.. Germs. A remedy claimed by its inventor as an entirely new treatment for consump- tion is attracting the attention of lung specialists at Berlin and the medical profession generally. It co n — aas of the inhalation of vapor produced by heating a mixture of eucalyptus oil, sulphur and charcoal, and it is stated that it is more effective than any serum remedy hitherto tried. Robert Schneider, a druggist, of Berlin, conceived the idea while trav- eling in parts of Australia, %here the eucalyptus tree grows luxuriantly. Consumption is almost unknosn among the inhabitana of these dis- tricts and sufferers from the disease who go there improve speedily. Herr Schneider upon returning to Berlin communicated his idea to Dr. Sommer- feld, a physician of high repute, who experimented in hospitals for six months. As a result 60 of 100 patients treated by him were completely cured. The inhalation of the vapor kills the bacilli. In some cases the patients were kept in an atmosphere impreg- nated with the fumes night and day until they showed signs of relief. Dr. Sommerfeld will read a paper on the subject before the Berlin Medical so- ciety at the end of April, claiming that the new curative agent, which is called Sanosin, constitutes an enormous ad- vance lathe treatment of tuberculosis. WIRELESS SYSTEM ON SHIPS. Anserlean Line of Stosoore to Install tam on Several of De Steamers. The American line, which has had for some time the Marconi wireless tel- egraph system in operation on the slearnehip Philadelphia, has issued a handsomely illustrated circular show- ing cuts pf the Marconi station and of the St. Louis it sea, announcing its determination to equip the St. Louis, the St. Paul and the New York at once with the system. In addition to the facilities offered to passengers in the way of sending or receiving telegrams while at sea ar- rangements have been made with news companies for supplying current news, which sill be sent by wireles tele- graphy to east -bound steamers from the Poldhu station, On the coast of England, and to west -bound steamers from the Siasconset station, Nantuck- et. The steamers of the lines when fitted with the wireless telegraph ap- paratus will be practically in continu- ous: communication with either shore stations or with passing steamers. SHADOW EXPERT MORAYS& Coro India' to Totem Whoa a Now fool ot tiro Unite& States Is to Bo Illogravoi. — Secret service operatives will short- ly arrive at Philadelphia to shadow Max Zeitier, an expert hea :sidle en- graver. Not that Mr. Zeitler has done wrong, but he is about to recut the great seal of the United States, and the government during this process employs a greater force of inspectors to keep an eye on the single workman than in the construction of a $5,000,000 battleship. The firm to which the contract for the seal has been let was compelled to name the engraver when it bid for the work. This exaction is required so that the necessary protection may be afforded to the design shich is ex- pected from Washington in a few days for the guidance of the engraver. The new seal also will be carefully guarded. The present seal has become so worn by years of constant use that the new one sill he corep:eted to replace it as -oon as i. si1il. tooteetloo for New foolety. A bald-headed men's club has been formed In Cleveland. Isn't it about time, asks the Chicagef Record -Herald, for the people who wear glass eyes to get together?
