The handle of the door turned und John Frovlllo entered, unannounced. The two men were In sharp contrast —Hnrrluglinm, cool, phlegmatic, cyn leal, \vlth tho blue eyes, fair linlr and beifrd of the Snxon; Frovllle, dark Ith petuous, full-blooded, generous, quix otic— n veritable Celt. Tlielr friend ship wns tlic alliance of negations, se- cured by the cement of antithesis. “How long Is It? Eighteen mouths?" “Two years to tho day.” “So long!” "It seoius to mo nn eternity, but the calendar Is rigid.

If tho cause Is obscure, the result is satisfactory, which cannot ho said of the other Inexplicable spring of your move ments.” Had Hnrrlnghnm asked for a solu tion Frovlllo would probnbly not havo given It. Unasked, he proffered That Is why truth .

It ought to have been n year a word, or nothing.” Hnrrlnghnm wns quizzing, hut Ills friend wns not listening. Frovllle wns talking because he couldn’t help him self. He had been silent too long to trouble himself ns to the attitude of his listener. “You know how I cared for Dl Le- strange?” “Most people did. You made no so oret of it.” "She had nlwnys seemed especially kind—to care for mo. I had never said anything nor, of course, she to me. But there Is a light In n worn on’s eye—sometimes! 1 “I know; a dangerous light, like n wlll-of-th-wlsp.” "So it wns In my case. I found It out at'tho Lelghnn ball.

Be fore I knew who It wns, or, In fact, that any one wns there—I had only Just come up—I henrd Dl say; “ ‘You need not think that I enro for FrevUle.' ” “That wns more than three words," Interjected Hnrrlnghnm “I never slept that night.

Two terrified women, blanched with terror, look out breathlessly at the unequnl struggle being waged on their behalf. The mnn slips. He will fall. No, he won’t! He Is firm on his legs again. He holds on like grim death and the horse is forced back. The modern dress does not lend Itself to heroics; hut there Is a certain heroism, nevertheless, In the tense figure. A policeman runs up; then another. The horse yields to superior numbers. FrevUle lets go the bridle as soon ns his hand Is no longer required. His face is flushed nnd an angry welt across his right wrist .is the outward sign of a strained muscle. A girl jumps from the brougham al most Into Ills arms. It Is Dl Lo- strange—or It wns two years ago. “We can never thank you enough, Mr. Frevlllo, and I—you have saved our lives. I must go back to her. She Is feeling faint. Won’t you come nnd sec us to-night at nine o’clock? Then we can hear of your return and thank you." FrevUle had hardly taken In what Miss Lcstrangc was saying.

He had only just dropped Diana’s hand. “I hnvc been nwny two years.” “I know that.” “I went awny after tho Lclglinu bnll —do you remember It?” Dl did not answer. She could not say enough without saying too much. FrevUle went; on: “I henrd you say something tlmt night—I did not menu to—until you spoke I did not know you were there. You wore lu a recess In tho landing nt the top of tho stairs, behind some yellow drapery; I can see It all now Just ns vividly ns I could thou.” "Well?” “You said, ‘You need not think I care about Frovllle.’ I thought, of course Travers hnd been pressing you nbout me.” Dlnnn looked puzzled.

JOHN AND ROBERT EVANS HAVE NO NEED OF THE TELEGRAPH. norm In Stage nntl Hattie. Flghta have been lost and won ac cording to tho condition and number of the horses engaged. The want of rest nnd food tells on n horse far more than on n mnn, for In the case of the latter there nre stimu lating Influences of patriotism, tho glory of victory, and other feelings which are non-existent In the nature of a horse. Quite half the horses In England sent to tho Crimea never re turned, most of them having died from herd work nnd starvation. Indeed only nbout 500 were killed In action. Actual lighting does not claim so many horses ns starvation and over work. Defective shoeing, sore backs, want of food and rest, nnd other simi lar causes go fnr toward rendering hol'sea useless for practical warfare. One more nnd Important cause needs careful attention, nnd It Is the danger of Injury, horses run • when being, shipped across the sea. They nre In constant motion, they continually fall —many of them to bo trampled to death—nnd the rest become fright ened, kick and batter one another about, and arc rendered useless. 'As an Instance of this It was found thnt one regiment on the way to the Penin sular war wns deprived of Just half Its horses on the voyage. !!)• Peculiar Olft of Two Kighteen-Yonr- Olil Bon, of nu Olilo Former— Olnze.t Sympathy With Koch Ollier—Womlor. ful ltemonitratloiiz by tho Urothori.

John aud Robert Evans arc tho twins who lmvo this pecullnr gift. Tlio hoys nre nbout eighteen yenrs old, nnd nre sons of J. E, Evans, n well-to-do farmer. Both have light linlr nud blue cyoB, and tlioy jire so much qllso thnt the father hns never been quite sure which Is Jolm aud widen Is Robert. The twins nro like In temperament, and have nlwnys shown tho closest sympathy with cech other, It Is only recently, however, tlint they have dis covered tlielr telepathic power. Tho first exhibition of It took plnee nbout four months ago. John hnd been sent Into tho woods to hew some trees, while Robert helped Ills father build fences on another part of tho farm more thnn a mile distant. Just before dinner Robert suddenly dropped n piece of timber which he was helping Ids father to carry, anil cried but, ns If lie were hurt. Turning nbout In alarm, tho father saw the hoy stnndlng with his eyes closed, “John Is hurt! 1 can hear him scream nnd I can sec him," Robert said. “.The nxe glnuced from tho tree nnd the sharp edge struck him on tho foot. Ho Is Bitting on tho ground nnd Is blooding dreadfully. Ho lias begun to tear up Ills shirt anil Is trying to hind up tllo wound. IIo Is uenr tho old spring, back of flic pencil orclinrd.” Suddenly the boy opened his eyes, looked nt Ills father for nu Instant, nnd then started on n run toward tho point whore Ills brother hml gono to work in tho morning. Mr. EvnnB looked after lihn helplessly nnd then followed, somewhat dnzed. When ho arrived at the spring ho found the conditions precisely ns Robert lmd described them. John hnd cut Ids foot severely by a glance blow of tho nxo nnd had torn off Ills shirt sleeve, with which to blnu up tho wound nnd check the flow of blood, John himself testi fied thnt ho hnd cried out In pnln when the axe struck lihn, and seemed not nt all surprised thnt Ills brother Robert knew nt once of his plight, al though the sound of Ills voice could never have been carried linlf the dis tance they were separated. These facts werp told to tho hoys’ motjior, nud were repeated to tho neighbors. At first people did not credit tho story fully, hut since then they have had nmple evidence of tho siugtilnr phenomenon. Not long after ward Robert wns working alone be hind the plow In a field more than a mile from tho house, where ho hnd left his twin brother that morning. While steering tho plow through a rough nnd rocky piece of ground tho plow-share wns broken. There seemed nothing to do hut unhitch the horses nnd go home, although the hour wns only' mid-afternoon. Then Robert sud denly thought about tho time John cut lilB foot with the ax, nnd he de termined to make Ids wants known to his twin. He accordingly closed his eyes nnd tried, ho said, to get Ills brother’s attention, although John wns more than n mile distant. When he felt thnt John was listening to him he told Ills brother to go to the barn, where there was ft now plow point In tho buggy shod hanging against tho wall. He also told Jolm to bring n monkey-wrench which was-In the tool chest. Robert then sat down on the plow nnd waited. It wns not more than fifteen minutes until, he snld, he plulnly felt John asking lihn which monkey-wrench ho should bring—the small ono or n larger one. After again bidding him to bring tho lnrgo ono he again sat down nnd waited patiently. Not more than a half-hour elapsed bo fore he saw John running toward him with the new plow point nnd tho large monkey-wrench. The broken plow point wns hastily removed nnd tho new ono put In Its plncc. Then Rob ert continued Ills plowing nnd John re turned to tho house. Tlic twins seem to think there la nothing very remark able nbout their marvellous gift of communicating with each other when they nre far separated. The distance they nre apart seems not to make any difference. Not long ngo John hnd occasion to go to the county-seat, which Is twelve miles from his home.
