¢ THE LETTER BOX.

The Jealousy of a Jadge Came Very Near Being His Ruin.

P+ OOO OO O-@--@-g-@.6.

One day as he entered the vestibule of a large house inhabited by merchants and

government oflicials he found the janitor sorting the morning mail and putting some of the letters into the mail boxes which were nailed to the wall near the front staircase. Somehow Hansa caught a glimpse of one of the letters. The ad- dress struck him as being in a familiar handwriting, and no sooner had the jan- itor dropped the letter into one of the boxes than it flashed upon him that it was Wilhelmina’s. A wild feeling of curiosity took hold of Hansa. His sweet- heart had never told him she knew any- body in this remote part of the city, much less that she was in correspondence with a resident of this house. Who could it be? Or was he mistaken? Was it mere- ly an accidental similarity of handwrit- ing? He burned to see the letter once more, and as his eyes met the janitor’s he asked involuntarily:

“Whose box is it?’’

“A young gentleman’s. He has lived here since Christmas. He is a young painter. He is single, yet he occupies a He’s rich and hand- some,” said the janitor, with obsequious garrulity.

Ludwig’s heart sank within him. At the same time he was overcome with a keen sense of his self humiliation at di® cussing a gentleman with a janitor.

“You are not asked to tell al! this,’” he said grufly and betook himself to the house of his uncle, the old town hail clerk, on the third floor, rear staircase.

That evening Hansa said to Wilhel- mina:

“As I passed through K-—— street this |

morning I met an old chum of mine whom I had not seen for three years,” and as he spoke he watched her closely to see the effect which the mention of the street would have on her. She blushed, sure enough! The blood rushed to his face, then back to his heart, and he felt held to the spot. Was he mistaken? If he was, why did she not even ask what he had been doing on K street? At all events, he repeated the name again and again, staring her full in the face. She did not exactly blush, but her eyes certainly had an unsteady look in them. She seemed to be painfully embarrassed.

“What's the matter, Wilheimina?”’ he asked.

“Nothing.

“Am you sick?”

“What's got into you?”

“But you look—er—I thought—er—you looked—-er—indisposed.”

She burst out laughing, and he couldn't help joining in, but in the depths of his heart lay a trouble which was growing more excruciating every minute. If he could only ask her and have done with it! But this he had nct the heart to do. Indeed she might take offense znd return his engagement ring. The judse shud- dered to think of it.

The next day he went to his uncle’s. As he passed the painter’s letter vox be took a look at the peepholes in the door. There were no letters within.

His curiosity kept growing and with it his wieichedness.

“What were you laughing at the other day, Wilhelmina?’ he iaquired.

“When?” she asked with a blank face.

“When I was telling you about K street.”’

**K—— street!” street?”

“Can it be that she does not remember the way she burst out laughing that day or is she acting a part?’ he asked him- self. “She certainly heard me speak of K- street.”

“Why, I told you I met a friend whom I had not seen for three years, and’’—

“That I remember, but what has that got to do with K—— street?” she de- manded rather testily.

“Simply this,’”’ he answered morosely, “that I told you how my friend and I

ef

she echoed. ‘“‘Where is

K

had met on K—— street.” “But what of it? What difference does it make whether it was K—— street or

Charlotten street or-any other street?’’

“To you it does not perhaps, but to me it does,” he declared vehemently and dropped his glance.

“I don’t know what you're talking about, Ludwig,” she rejoired, whereupon he scrutinized her face for some mo- ments, and, convincing himself that her remark was perfectly sincere, he broke into a merry laugh as he said:

“TI don’t know what I am talking about myself.”

a happy evening togetner, ana as ne pro- ceeded on his way home he berated him- sel? for a jealous idiot and a booby. He went to bed in excellent spirits and slept like a top. Nevertheless the next morn- ing as he bent over his washstand and began rolling up the sleeve of his under- shirt a disagreeable thought planted it- self in his brain. There was a question mark to that thought. “Can it be that she was fooling me; that it was all act- ing?’”’ he asked himself. “If she loves somebody else, what made her accept me?’ he argued and regained his com- posure, but the next moment he reflected that the painter might be prevented from marrying Wilhelmina. He imagined a weird love intrigue, a mysterious plot with his Wilhelmina as its central fig- ure, and his curiosity and the mystery grew and grew.

“What ails yon?” she asked him one day. noticing his worried look.

“Nothing at all.”

“But you look out of sorts.”

He assured her he was in good spirits, but inwardly wondered whether her ques- tions were not part of a complex scheme to deceive him.

One day, as he entered the vestibule of the house where his uncle lived, he be- held a letter in the painter’s box. He took a close look at it through the little holes in the door, and, oh, horrors, he was sure the “len” which he could make out near the corner of the envelope was ia her handwriting. An ungovernable

Jesire to pry out the letter and to see the whole address seized Ludwig. He strug- gled with the temptation like a lion. He cursed himself, he gnashed his teeth, he growled, but he took out his penknife all the same. He put it back into his pocket, asked himself whether he was crazy, but two or three minutes later, when he was about to open his uncle’s door, he sudden- ly started back, and before he could stop himself he stood, knife in hand, strug- gling, not with his own temptation, but He was all perspiring and the letter was fairly covered witb the pricks of his knife, and when he had got hold of it at last and was about to fish ijt out footsteps were heard outside the gate, and the judge, turning pale as death, let go of his quarry and tiptoed his way back to his uncle’s door.

That night he dreamed of a letter box. It was somehow confused with his court- room. Each peephole in the door was at the same time an eye, an eye which was winking, while a crowd of people were hooting and jeering at him.

“This foolishness must stop,” he said to himself in the morning. But it did not stop, and a week had not passed before he found himself in front of the terrible letter box once more, grappling with his temptation and—the painter’s letter. This time he fished it out undisturbed, but to his great joy and at the same time to his great chagrin, the address turned out to be so utteriy unlike Wilhelmina’s chi- rography that he hastily slid it back. But then the next letter he pulled out was addressed in a hand so strikingly like hers that his head grew dizzy, and he seemed on fhe verge of a fainting spell. He heard a noise, however, and in his rush to restore the letter to the box he escaped the fainting spell, which was an excellent thing to escape; but, then, how was he to find out what Wilhelmina was writing to that accursed painter? “Oh, heavens!” he exclaimed, dropping his arms in blank despair. “Who is he? What is he? Why have I not the cour- age to speak to her frankly, openly, and put an end to my misery?”

. ” * . &

“What's the matter with my letters?” asked the painter, holding out one which was all slashed at one end and full of triangular holes in the center.

“I'll ask the letter carrier,” answered the janitor.

“Never mind asking the letter carrier,” retorted the painter. “I have spoken to him myself, and he says he delivers my letters free from pockmarks. This is the fifth letter I have received in this condi- tion. There must be some fiend in the case, some fellow who has a knife and doesn’t know what to do with it, and I tell you, this thing will have to stop or l’ll move to a place where my mail will be safe.”

The upshot of it was that a trap was set, and his honor was caught with an empty envelope in his hand.

“So you are the chap!” shouted the janitor, grabbing him by the collar. “You are dressed like a gentleman, but you act like a miserable sneak.”

“Flush, hush!” the unhappy young man besought his captor. “A great misfor tune has befallen me, but I’ll cxplain the matter to your satisfaction and make it worth your while if you only make no noise and let the affair go no further.”

“What! Bribing me to keep quiet? Who are you, anyhow, and what do you do here so oftep? Are you a thief?”

Hansa trembled. “After this I have no right to continue as judge. I am going to resign,” he thought to himself. “I am going to commit suicide,” he added, a moment later.

There was nothing for it but to tell the janifor about his uncle. Ag good luck would have it the uncle was an old and ‘respected tenant, and, what was still more to the purpose, the aunt and the janitress were bosom friends. The mat- ter was hushed up without Hansa being put to the necessity of telling the whole truth.

“It struck me as if it were the hand- writing of a man whom I used to know,” he. said, and, although the explanation was anything but exhaustive, no further questions were asked. And as the of- fense was not repeated the janitor was satisfied and the episode soon faded out ef his mind.

The incident cured Hansa of his jeal- ousy and of part of his sentimentality. The wedding took place shortly after,

and now he presides over the proceedings :

of his court with his old time dignity, but often when he gives himself airs, he checks himself. Often, too, when about te pronounce a heavy sentence the letter box stands forth before his mind’s eye, urging the weakuess of human nature aad pleading for mercy. The judge smiles whea he thinks of that affair. “What a child I was!” he. says,to himself. And yet the letter box has done him a con- siderable amount of good.—Translated

English War Medals.

War medals, says The Army and Navy Journal, were instituted by Charles I to decorate the leaders of forlorn hopes. There were a good many forlorn hopes in the reign of Charles I.

Gorgeous gold medals used to be given away after a “famous victory.” The numbers of medals distributed in modern warfare make the use of gold impossible. The modern medal is made of the hard and lasting silver of the same standard 2s is Used for the current coinage, and each medal is the size and weight of a 5 shilling piece (one ounce). They are struck at the royal mint from designs prepared by professional medalists.

As Many as 2,500 unclaimed medals have accumulated at a time at the war office. Unclaimed medals are ultimately melted down at the mint into coin of the realm, though every effort is made to trace the owner or his heirs.

some years ago a naval medal was struck and distributed to soldiers for a frontier trouble in India. This medal had “nothing to do with the case,” and collectors have been puzzled by the ships and sails of an engagement fought on dry land. ;

On one occasion 45,000 tin medals were sent out for the native troops in India. Tin has now been abolished, and silver and bronze are the orthodox medal met- als.

A Seotsman’s Economy,

“Can ye oblige me with a light?’ said a Scotsman as he bit off the end of a cigar and looked around a smoking ear- riage on the Great Northern railway.

One traveler produced an empty box with apologies. Another said he didn’t smoke and therefore didn’t carry matches,

“Can ye give me a light?” repeated the Scotsman to the third, who stolidly look ed out of the window. Then the Scots man’s finger went reluctantly into hi- own pocket. “Weel, weel,” he murmur ed, “I'll jist need to tak’ ane o’ my ain.” —Lendon News.

Dizzy Spells and Headache

Weak, Nervous, and Run Down, would Shake with Hervousness—A Terrible Case—A Remarkable Cure.

Mrs. Chas. H. Jones, Pierceton, Que., writes:—‘ For yeare I have been 8 great sufferer with my heart and nerves. I would take shaking spells and « dizzy, swimming feeling would come over me. Night after night I would never close my eyes, and my head would ache as though it would burst. At last I had to keep to my bed, and though my doctor attended me from fall until spring, his medicine did not help me.

“YT have now taken five boxes of Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food, and it has done me more good than I ever believed a medicine could do. Words fail to ex- press my gratitude for the wonderful cure brought about by this treat- ment.”

Dr. Chase’s Nerve Food makes pale, weak, nervous men, women, and chil- dren strong, healthy, and happy. In p!ll form, 50 cents a box, at all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Toronto,

knows there is one sure way to reach a man’s heart, and that is by always having a nicely spread table. To do this you must have choice groceries, canned goods and provisions.
