TTTE MACON TELEGRAPH: WEDNESDAY MORNING. JULY 18.
1892.
A LUNCH IN TAMS.
MRS. CHESTER’S REMARKABLE EX-
j PERIENCE WHILE ABROAD.
She Recognised an Old Friend, Ah*
Thought, Among the Crowd on On* of
the Fashionable Thoroughfares of the
Gey City and Lunched with lllm.
“Interesting adventures hare not been
numerous in my existence," Mrs. Chester
remarked from the comer of the sofa,
placing a large, soft cushion behiud her
and eroshiug her left comfortably; “but
I can tell you one tout happened only last
summer and which I think is somewhat
out of the ordinary run. We were in Paris
at the time. Otic morning I went alone to
my bankers in the Hue and drew some
money for my sister As I came out I
recognised Mr. Fair matt, who was passing.
I bowed, and he immediately joined me,
asking if 1 would allow him to accompany
me to my destination, whateverthat might
be. I had known Arthur Fairman slightly
for a number of years, and probably would
never have Inrcoine better acquainted with
him had we not met in a foreign land.
There sernr; to ho a frnt*»rnal feeling !>e-
tween Americans abroad that iu many
cases would not exist at home.
“At any rate, 1 gave him the desired
permission, and we strolled along, enjoy
ing the life and gaiety so peculiar to the
Paris boulevards. At the Mnison D ,
Where I had expected him to leave me, he
remarked that he would lie glad to wait
while 1 tried on several hats. Must 1 con
fess that 1 was pluming myself upon
having made soniething of a conquest of a
formerly indiiferent acquaintance? His
patience wss angelic, for after three-quar
ters of nn hour he greeted me In the same
amiable manner, and asked me to lunch
With him at the Cafe Gambon. Charm lug
man! I reflected a moment, then accepted,
as I knew returning home would mean a
solitary meal—at the best n hurried, un
satisfying repast..
“As it was, I had an extremely pleasnut
time. We ‘ocured a table in one of the
windows, and Mr. Fairman almost imme
diately inquired if I had ever been to Rus
sia. I think this was our principal topic
of conversation. 1 wan surprised to linU
him such a traveh d, cultivated inan and
Bn In*'Testing a talker. The lunch was
excellent, also the company, and when he
hade me adieu at the hotel I am sure it
was with sincere regret ou ln>tli side*, par
ticularly as lie was about U aviug Pari* for
London, and our renewed acquaintance
would have to be suspended until we met
in New York.
“My sister returned from a shopping ex-
leditioti later in the afternoon, ami I gave
ker a graphic account of how I Kpent the
noniing, concluding. ‘And here is the
fnoney you wanted,' my hand gliding into
ny pocket. It was empty! My purse hod
lisapiH’nn d without a tear in the material
omark its exit. Iliad not takeu it out
after leaving the hankers; of Hint 1 was al
most certain; therefore my pocket must
nave been picked en route. I rememliered
a crowd of people in the Rue Dan non,
which jammed the narrow sidewalks, hut
Mr. Fairman had been behind me the en
tire way. Could lie help me, I wondered?
My sister advised too to writ* to him at
Ouco.
“Perhaps we could stop him liefore he
left the city. 1 looked at the clock; it
was striking 4. ‘He leaves at fl.* I mur
mured hopefully. ‘I will send for him im
mediately.' Then, remembering: ‘But 1
don't know his address. Is It not provok
ing?' 1 went over to the window nud
ga?.cd abseutly out. I had been watching
passers l»y for some time, feeling deeply de
S ressed, when suddenly 1 caught sight of
Ir. Fairman hurrying along on the oppo
site side. What luck! Without a word
of explanation to iny sister, 1 ran to the
door, dowu the staircase and iuto the
Street.
“In n few seconds I hnd overtaken hin».
and, while trying to regain my breath,
managed to tell him of tny loss, lie was
most syinpaLticiia sud much distressed
Over the occurrence.
“'I am uioriilit-d at not liaviug tieen
Side to take belter care of you,' be kept re
peating apologetically; 'you cannot Im
agine how badly 1 fed. However, I will
go to the (Milice station mid rrjHirt the
theft on my way to the depot, so that your
Interests will be well loosed alter when I
am goiiv.'
“lie walked with me back to the hotel
entrance, ami I gave him a minute de
scription of iny pocket lx ok ami Us con
tents, ufter which he excused himself, as
lie said he must return to Ids apartment
before going to the train. In spity of bis
kindly interest, as is usual iu such cases,
the money was never heard of again.
“A few days ago," Mrs. Chester 'con
tinued, drawing along bieatb mid sitting
Inore erect, “1 met Mr. Fuirumuon Fifth
avenue and stopped to speak to him.
'How have you been since 1 saw you last
Summer iu Paris?’ i exclaimed cordially,
lie shook my band rather mechanically, I
thought, and seemed somewbat puzzled.
'Do you know,’ 1 went on, ‘we never found
any trace of that money thut warn stolen?'
And 1 added, laughing, *We almost ac-
tuned you of petty larceny.'
“Mr. Falnnon’a face wore an extraordi
nary expression. ‘Paris? Petty larceny?'
he stammered, looking blankly at me; 'hut,
tny dear Mrs. Chester, 1 have not been
abroad for three years!'
“For a moment there was a dead silence,
each gazing at the other. ‘Not been
•broad?' 1 gasped unbelievingly. 'Bat l
taw you; I lunched with you.'
“T can prove an alibi whenever you
•lease,' Mr. Fairman replied seriously. 'I
pent August and September with my sis
ter Carrie In Newport.'
“Then the truth flashed over me. The
pmall diffe-rrees 1 had not noticed before
tn-carne only too clear now. The clever
duplicate bud traded on his mistaken iden
tity, and had calmly lunched me and rifled
|ny pocket to pay for the spree. Well, it
eras a good lunch, but it cost me 1,000
francs."—M. R. McVtckar in Harper’s
Weekly.

Two days later Jesse Janies was killed for
the $10,000 reward. I weut to the under
taker's to see the dreaded outlaw, und ray-
hair fairly rone on end when iu the dead
man I recognized my companion that
midnight walk to the hotel. I might have
captured him and secured the reward, and
then It might have turned out differently.
Anyhow, I do not regret allowing that

A FOWL'S GIZZARD.
Physiology of an Interesting Portion of
a Chfekeu’s Anatomy.
A fowl’s gizzard, where ho many lost
articles turn up, is a curious trap a* well
•a a necessary vital organ of the fowl.
Diamonds, pearls, coin, buttons, tacks,
omnge peel and about everything else
save dynamite have been found In the
gizzard* ol fowls.
A study of this organ is interesting.
Kxperimente have demonstrated that what
may lie called the gastric jnioe in fowls
has not sufficient power to (UmmoIvs their
food without the aid of the grinding ac
tion of the gizzard. Before the food in
prepared for digestion, tbarefure. the
grains must lie subjected Ui a triturating
process, and such an are not anfliclcutly
bruised in this manner before piwdng info
the gizzard are there reduced to tbe proper
state by II* natural action.
The action of the gizzard Is, In tills re
spect, mechanical, this organ serving as a
mill to grind the feed to pieces, and then,
by mean* of it* powerful muscles, prenang
it gradually into the intestines in the
form of pulp. Tbe power of this organ is
said to be sufficient to pulverize hoUlw
globules of glass in a very Aort time and
solid mosses of the same substaso* in a
few weeks. The rapidity of this process
seems to be proportionate generally to lbs
size of the bird. A chicken, for example,
breaks up such substances os are received
into Its stomach leas rapidly than the car
pon, while the goose performs the same
operation sooner than cither. Needle*,
and even lancets, given turkeys hare been
broken in pieces and voided without any
apparent injury to the stomach. The rea-
soii undoubtedly is that the laruer species
of birds have thicker and more powerful
organ* of digestion.
It has long been the general opinion that,
from some deficiency in the dig* stive ap
paratus, fowl* are obliged to resort to the
use of stones and gravel in order to enable
them to dispose of the food which they
consume. Some have supposed that the
use of stones is to sheathe the gizzard in
order to fit it to break into smaller frag
ment* the hard, angular subsume** which
might ho swiiliowe«L They hart also been
considered to have a medicinal effect.
Others have imagined that they acted us
absorlieuts for unducqnnntithn of acids in
the stomach or as stimulants to digestion,
while it has even been gravely asserted
that they contribute directly to nutrition.
Repeated experiments, however, have es
tablished that pebbles are not at all neces
sary to the trituration of the hardest kinds
of suhetaneew which can be Introduced intc
their stomachs, and at course the usual
food of fowls can be bruised without ilietr
aid. They do. howevor, m-rvs a useful
auxiliary purjioee. When pot in motion
by the muscles they are capable of produ
cing some effects upon tiie content* of the
stomach, thus assisting to grind down the
grain and separating its parts so that the
digestive fluid nr gastric juice comes more
readily in contact with it.—Hartford
Times.
A GIRL’S FIRST SHOT.
Her Painful an«l Mortifying Rxperlence
with a Gun That “Kicked."
I shall not go hues to the old days when
a wee tot of a girl I u**d to cry for iny
father’s gun, shut my eyes when I pulled
the trigger and then cry again when the
gun went off, because the noise frightened
me so; but I will tell of my first shot when
f took hold of a guu all alone, aimed at
soratthiug and shot-uothing. I hud gone
with iny brother and two cousins to the
“new ground," where the boys said there
was some fine bird shooting. We hud
ridden over on our ponies, und after
we ha*! dismounted aud were climb
ing a live rail feme my brother said.
“Lucy, you are a girl, sud guU can’t
shoot." I waited to hear no more. 1 just
slipped to the ground, mounted my pony,
gave him the bridle and iu a slant linn
was back home again.
On going to the gunrack to my dismay
l found only a heavy, old fashioned shot
gun, which was always spoken of as the
“kicker.” 1 did not long hesitate to take
the “kicker." for I whs fully determined
to learn to shoot. What matter if I did
get a kick or t wo? Was that, half ns bad
as to lie told, “Yon are a girl, and girb
don’t shoot?” I could not load the guu
and I dare not ask any one about t he bouse

supernumerary warder wss the care and
control of prisoners “down for tbe doctor."
Convicts complaining of sickness are al
lowed tc leave their cells during their din
ner hour and form up in a long rank out
side the medical officer’s room, Into which
they enter and state their cases in rotation.
Many of the prisoners' complaints and re
quests at the doctor’s desk are extremely
funny and grotesque.
Please, sir. I’ve got a bad heart, 1
man says lugntnrjously.
“I know you have," the doctor replies
with a laugh. “If yon had a good one
you would not, in all probability, have
en a prison Interior."
“Would you be so kind, air," the next
man says persuasively, “as to let me have
one or two of your sanctimonious pills?"—
