A. "Wife’s Charm
A pout upon the red lips of Gerald
Sinclair's young wife—unmistakably a
pout- for though a wife of almost two
years, her fond, iudnlgont husband had
for the first time said nay to an openly
expressed wish.
Tho fanoy ball of the season, a grand
and fashionable assemblage, was to take
place daring his absenco, and he had
said that he should prefer she would not
attend.
Bhe was only 20. Let this much bo
said in extenuation of the two great tears
that rose to tho brown eyee and slowly
ti iokled down tho pretty face, splashing
on to the dainty morning dress, which,
clinging to the dainty form, revealed so
perfectly its graceful outlines.
[ Certainly, Niobo hod no reason to feel
ashamed of this one of her children.
But Gerald Binolair had only atooped
and kissed away the glistening drops, in
a half-hurried manner, perhaps to hido
his awakening remorse.
"Never mind, little wife, i’ll make it
np to you another time."
Then ho was gone; bnt she sat still
turning and returning her wedding ring,
with eyes lient upon it. It was a curi
ous nng—a solid Band, aet with five
largo diamonds.
It had boon her charm, her talisman,
not to be taken from her finger nntil
An hour later and, on tho Count Bel.
coui's arm, she entered upon tlie brilliant
scene. Bo far lie had not Hccmod curi
ous to ascertain her identity. Bho ex-
(icrienccd at this a singular sense of
relief.
The ball was at its height when the
clock rang out the hour of midnight, but
for tho first time in her life light and* 4
gayety were distasteful. A hundred
times sho wished herself at home.
"I will tell Gorald. I havo already
fieen punished,” sho whispered to her
self, ns she stood for a moment alone in
a quiet corner,
"You look moro liko a nun than a
fairy—rather liko one who had fore
sworn tho vanities of tho world, than a
siren to tempt men to their destruction,”
said a voice close to her, "though to tho
latter I know no one moro fitted.”
"Sir I” she cxclnimcd indignantly, rec
ognizing, ns she spoke, the Count
standing at her ollmw.
"Ah, you thought I did not know yon.

you, and heard tho words ho addressed
to yon—heard with joyful heart your
answer; saw yon wrench yonr hands
from his hold, and also saw what you
did not, tho sparkle of the ring he drew
from yonr finger. Poor little girl ! I
watched yon hasten tliroagh the crowd,
and knew that you had alrendy mot your
bitterest punishment.* It has been
through my efforts that the Count has

with whom he had pledged it as secur

"I want a Chancer,'” said a customer
to a Now York clerk in a book store,
after looking over the list of English
j loots. “Fine out or ping?” inquired
tho young man, patting his hand in his
pocket.
It is learned that the English transla
tiou of Nita-eg-Ebow is "Young-man-
afraid- to-hurt - the-solos-of- his- feet- by
walbing-oD-sawdust.”
If it
failed to scatter the clouds, it failed to
bring back the sunshine.
Even when the hour came round for
Gerald’s home-coming, he missed liis
I nsunl warm welcome; bnt ho thought
that ho might trust his wife’s henrt ami
said nothing. The next day ho started
on bis journey.
"You’re not going, my dear?” ex
claimed Mrs. Martin, bursting in upon
her friend on the morning of tho hall,
"And why not?”
"Gerald is away,” replied Mis. Sin
clair, with some little show of wifely dig
nity, as though the fact were in itsedf
sufficient explanation.
"And why need that make any differ
ence ?” pursued Mrs. Martin, a bewitch
ing little widow, some years her friend's
senior. "I will sharo my escort with
you—Const Belzotii 1”
Sophie Sinclair looked np amazed.
Bhe know the man mentioned had but
lately gained entree into society, and
know also that her husband disliked and
distrusted him.
Once or twice sho hod seen his eye
fixed ndmiringly upon herself, and liod
felt somewhat us the bird might feel
beneath the basilisk glare of the ser
pent.
"Well, why don’t you answer?” con
tinued Mrs. Martin. "Will yon go?"
"No, no,” sho replied, trying to speak
with firm decision, "Besides, I do not
think that Gerald admires tho Count.”
"Prejudice, my dear, all prejudice,
The Count is tho most charming and
rgreeablo man 1 kuow. Indeed, I think
I should be canonized for my willingness
to share his attentions, especially ns 1
have heard him say all manner of pretty
things about you.”
"Nonsense, Ellen,” retorted Mrs. Sin
clair.
But she felt the ground slipping be
neath her feet as she spoke.
After all Gerald bail not said positively
no ! Had ho thought it necessary after
he had openly expressed his disappro
bation of her going ?
He had not known that she would bo
so sorely tempted. Besides she would
wear a mask. No one would kuow her;
and when she told Gerald he would tor-
give her. A sudden thought came to
her.
"I will go,” she said at last, after con
tinued urging, and looking at the pic
ture in all its brightest lights, "on one
condition, and that is that no one is to
know me—not even the Count. Say that
yon have persuaded a friend to accom
pany yon, who wishes to remain un
known. I will come to your house,
woro. Besides yon have forgotten to re
move a badge of recognition.”
Bho followed with her eyes his down
ward glance, and saw that it rested on
her linud, ungloved, as iu better accord
with tho exigencies of her costume.
Involuntarily sho drew it away, with
tho ring which had betrayed her.
Denial wan useless.
"Biuco you know mo, then," she said,
"wo will not further play a part. To
tho others wo aro masks, to ourselves wo
arc ourselves.”
"Ah, madamo,” ho whiHporod, "let ns
rather say to tho world wo are onrselvos,
to each other wo aro a mask. Can men,
think yon, look coldly on such beaut y as
yon possess ? Can —"
Indignant nnd alarmed, she chocked*
his fiirthor speech by starting forward to
escape him. His hand closed on hers ns
in a vice. Bho wrenched it from him,
sprang among a crowd of maskers, snd
so made her way to tho door.
"Call a carriago for mo,” sho directed.
Ten minutes later sho was within her
own homo. Her first impulso was to
tear off tho hated costume which lmd
caused her Htioh trouble; her next to
throw herself on tho bod and sob out
her excitement and coutritimi. Tho
morning sun, streaming into her room,
awoke her.
With a shudder, she remembered the
ovents of tho pnst night. Bho looked
down at her hand —tho hand which harl
been polluted by another’s touch—ns
though in somo way she expected to find
tho contamination brand on its soft
white surface. It was all unmarred;
but— Bho looked again—sho rubbed
her eyes and looked—tho color mean
while fluttering out of her cheeks, nnd
her pule lips quivering, ns if hor heart
seemed to stnnd still in a sudden agony
of fear; for from the third finger was
missing tno talismnnic ring.
When and whero sho had lost it, and
how could she now find the courage to
confess all to Gerald? Bhe roso and
dressed, revolving this problem in her j
mind.
At any hour her husband might re
turn. For the first time sho dreaded to
meet him—dreaded to look into his
kindly, handsome eyes nnd read there all
his incredulous reproach, mingled per
haps with scorn and anger.
The day wore on. Her friend, Mrs.
Martin, run in to scold her for her deser
tion; bnt her pale face anil trembling
"And is this all?” ho questioned bit
terly, when she had paused.
“No, not all,” she continued, rais
ing her voice. "My confession has

in pairs, by threes, and by sixes. They
fished at daylight, at nightfall, by moon

Dynamite In Vienna.
During the last few weeks the Vienna
police hnvo made the discovery that
there must be a quantity of dynamite and
other explosives iu tho hands jf the
Austrian anarchists not inferior io thnt
discovered in London. Home portion of
this, it is conjectured, lins boon fabri
cated in Vienna, wbilc tno rest comes
from America via Switzerland, which is
kept nntil wanted by the anarchists in
Austria or in other portions of Europe,
perhaps oven in London, so thnt it would
not be nmisH for the English police to ex
tend their observation to tho imports
from all Continental ports. Concerning
the manufacture of these explosives, tlie
police claim to have discovered thnt dur
ing last autumn regular lectures were
delivered in the workmen’s quarters on
the best methods of making and safely
storing dynamite, nitro-glyceriuo and
other explosives. On receiving this in
telligence the detectives made a raid on
cortain houses and discovered * three
laboratories completely fitted with nil
the articles necessary for the fabrication
of explosives, together with large quan
tities of dynamite in different forms of
nitro-glyeerine and of its components—
sulphuric aeid, nitric acid, glycerine nnd
kaolin. Tho police are convinced thnt
many similar laboratories exist, and
therefore tho Vienna press has been or
dered to publish nothing on the snbject.
Recently a workman was caught eudeav-
another witness, who has forced his f oring to smuggle a basketful of small ex
hated presence again upon me. Tho
Count Belzoni is hero again, Gerald.”
As she spoke she drew aside the car
tain; but the form she expected to dis
close was gone, the open window attest
ing to its flight.
Silently the husband drew a paper
from his pocket, and showed her a para
graph offering a reward for the arrest of
a thief and swindler known as the Count
Belzoni.
"My darling,” he said, "my little wife

Mnzof had murdered a man, a woman
xml a little boy. Before tho magistrate
he hod made a fuH confession of Ids
guilt. A dotermiued attempt was mnde
by the soldiers to mob him while he was
making his confession, bnt it was re
pressed. no was reserved for s much
more terrible punishment than thnt ac
corded by lynch law. Ho was sentenced
to tlireo hundred nud ninety-nine lashes
with tho knout.
He was marched out to punishment
in company with two forgers, nil St.
Petersburg turning out to witness the
speetnclo. This horrible show is thus
graphically described by the old chroni
cle:
"Tho stake prepared for him wns a
strong block of wood fixed in tho ground
with throe grooves at tho top nnd two
rings near tho bottom; tho middle groove
was for the nook, and the two othots for
the armpits, tho rings below to look
round tlie ankles; aliout tho slnko woro
laid coarse skins, especially where the
knout-master trod, upon winch lay his
whips, marking irons, pincers, etc. An
ofllcor then road a paper to tho poople,
signifying that forgery upon the Im
perial Baiji lieing a capital crime, two
of tho prisoners convicted of it were
condemned to receive eleven blows with
the knont, to have their nostrils pulled
out and be banished for life to Bilnirin;
tho murderer of so many people to rc-
eeivo tbreo hundred and ninety-nine
blows, to be branded throe times in the
face, hnvo bin nostrils pulled out, and,
if then alive, to lie banished for life to
tho minea of Biheria.
"The executioner and his assistants
then stripped him, tied his hands nornsH
<uid led him to the post. After fixing
his ankles they bent his neck nnd arms
over it, and drew the ro|ie with which
Ids hands woro tied through the ring on
the opposite side, which seemed to
stretch nil the mnsole* of tho back. I.lo
then retired about four or five yards
from him, nnd, taking up ouo of tlio
knouts, worked it with bis bauds to give
it a proper elasticity. Walking toward
he criminal with four or flvo steady
stops, then taking a spring, ho struck a
|N>r|>omlicular stroke with a heavy, loud
rraok. Tho first ntroko out from the
right side of the bottom of tho neck to
the loft armpit. Tho effect was visible
iu a moment, and by tho violence of his
screams afforded ronson to suppose thnt
the pain wns very groat. Tho second
was about half an inch hclow the first
nnd so on till twenty-fivo, when,
chnnging the whip, the operator erased
the former wound, striking from the
loft sido to tho right, and afterward
quite perpendicular. Tho strokes were
given with tho grontoHt regularity. Be
tween each a person might deliberately
count eight, tho executioner nlwiy*
walking slowly to and from the stako.
"His cries were now so torriblo that
somo of the spectators were obliged to
turn their backs and put their flugott in
their ears. All was quiet and silent,
and tho crack of Die knout was heard a
great distance. After receiving three
hundred lashes, tho culprit’s voice grow
faint, and during the last one hundred
ho showed no signs of life whatever, the
whole of tho upper part of tho hack by
ing beaten to a black mummy. After
the last blow the assistants lifted np tlie
face by tho hair, and tho executioner
struck him three times witli an instru
ment that left the initial of murderer,
throwing each time a handful of black
dust into the wound; after which, at two
pulls, he tore the gristle of his uose,
nnd loosened him from the block. The
whole lasted about three quarters of au
hour, and it was generally thought that
he had been dead somo time; however,
ho made a feeble attempt to put on his
coat, and recovered sufficiently to bo
able to make some reparation to society
by working the iron mines.”
