SLIGHTED LOVE AVENGED' luow A JILTED PARISIAN PUNISIIED A oiiiL. A Successful Rival Was Denounced as the Leader of 3 Gang of / Burglars. ’ Slighth love has just been avengmg lltsclf in two case.s In a very different ianner from the now stale recourse to Em knife and the revolver, writes a aris correspondent of the London Teleâ€" jgl'aph- In each instance the methods have certainly not been devoid of onâ€" ginality, but while the author of the ‘one has been requested to hold himself a‘ the disposal of the police, the other has won himself any amount of gra- titllde from the family which had scorn- ?fully rejected his matrimonial advances. 'Hero No. 1, if such a term can be apâ€" plied to a gay law student somewhat addicted to flirtation, had been making up to a pretty brunette in the Latin Quarter, but the girl, although not currently supposed: to be particularly hard-hearted, had for some reason or another sent him about his business. he youth‘s vanity had been consider- ably wounded, he had vowed to pay her out, and when a night or two ago she sought to repose of her downy couch n her trim little chamber, high up in the house where she dwelt, and was just composing herself to slumber, she as startled by a weird noise. She pened her eyes, and, to her dismay, be- held a tall object attired in a volumin- 'us white robe standing at the foot of for bed. Terror kept the fascinating brunette lmute, but when, in low deep tones, the words, “I have come to fetch you and to hear you away from this world," were uttered by the mysterious visitor, the poor girl screamed out, “A GHOST! A GHOST!" and, bounding from her couch into the middle of the tiny room, fell prone on the floor. Attracted by the noise, neigh- bors rushed in to find the chamber empty, save for the presence of its ten- ant, who was lying in a state of in- sensibility. The police and a doctor were promptly sent for, and when af- ter an hour's interval, the heroine of this grim adventure had been restored to consciousness, she related that she had received the unwelcome visit of a spirit. The officials, however, being decidedly .sceptical on this point, started on an investigation, with the result that the mischief was traced to the law student. who confessed that he had got up the scene to punish the lovely brunette for her rejection of his overtures, and that die had obtained entrance to her room Zby means of a false key. He has not been arrested, but, as said above, has 'to hold himself at the disposal of the Commissary. Suitor No. 2 had made his advances to la lovely girl, the daughter of retired tradespcople, for what is called 'le bon motif,’ that is to say, his intentions were honorable, and he meant marriage. Un- fortunately, the young man, although bearing an excellent reputation, was ipoor, so the family, which indulged in ambitions projects for the settlement of \the pretty damsel, gave him politely to understand that he was no match for her. Not long after the occurrence of ibis little episode there appeared on the scene A VERY SMART YOUTH, who gave himself out as having already ‘a splendid situation, which brought him j-iii $2,500 a year, and was only a stepâ€" ,ping-stone to a far more brilliant posi- tion. The girl and her parents were completely dazzled, and without start- ‘ing on the slightest inquiry received him with open arms. The wedding day zwas fixed, the trousseau purchased. and relatives and friends were assembled at a dinner party which was to be a preâ€" ilude to the great event. Due justice had been done to the viands, and dessert with sundry bottles of sparkling chain- pagne had been laid on the table, when lthe rejected suitor. who had been in- cluded in the invitations just by way of showing that there was no ill-feeling, rose to his feet and asked leave to make a little speech. flow very noble of him. the family and the other guests ex- claimed to themselves. but their horror may well be imagined when he dcâ€" nouuced his successful rival as a burg- lar who was making a good thing by his nefarious trade. and “AS A WEDDING PRESENT" threw on the table a bundle of missich addressed by accomplices to the indiâ€" vidual in question. whom he described as the ring leader of the gang. All eyes were, turned toward the bride- groourclccl. but he uttered not. a word. with blanched checks and tottering steps he tried to make his way to the door, but he was collared by the father with indignation at the cruel trick that. he had played, and a moment later was ccmmiltcd to the CUSTODY OF THE POLICE, who promptly conveyed him to the de- rot at the Prefecture. It seems that the rejected suitor. partly out of jeal- ousy and partly out of curiosity. as he was by no means inclined to take his rival at his word, had one of his visits to his dwelling had discovered a parcel of letters, which he had contrived to abstract. and which admitted of no doubt as to the nature of the very lucrative profession whit-h the young man had embraced. The girl and her parents are. however. so giatcful to the rejected suitor for hav- in,r_r saved her from a shocking fate that it. looks as if he may not have to play the sorry part of a rejected suitor much longer. The trousscau is alll ready. it Would be a pity to waste it. and. after air m thc retired trudcsiiian is very (‘Clll"“"l:lhl\’ off and the only objection to th. youth is his lack of fortune, the matter may be arranged. lie. at any Ilfitt}. need not dread any unpleasant diselosures on the eve of his own mar- li'iage. _ . . entered into. friendly relations with him. and during: GERMANY‘S Vt'AR CHEST. A Berlin contemporary has discovered that Germany's holding of foreign obli- gations totals $000. or four times the amount of the French war indemnityâ€" e. striking instance of the cnoriiiousratc a', which the wealth of the empire has accumulated in recent years. This fig- ure has been cited as a reply to the contention that financial stress would restrain Germany from a great war ow- ing to the difficulty or realizing all this money. It is forgotten that the empire has a war chest fund of $30.000,000, which was set apart from the French millards against the coming of another evil day. This enormous sum in gold has been lying in the Julius Tower at Spandau.

Sir William MaCGrcgor, Governor of Newfoundland. of which Province La- brodor is a dependency. has recently issued a report of scientific and official visit. which he made to that remote sea- board last summer, and among other aspects of the subject he treats espe- cially of the absence of crime in that region. Labrador, Sir William says, has a resident population of 10,000, of whom 3.500 are white, settled along its south coast. Many of the Indians are half- brecds, and there are 3,000 Esquimaux scattered along the northern waterfront. In addition it is visited each summer by some 20,000 Newfoundlandcrs, who on- gage in fishing, which is the chief pur- suit of these people. Yet there is no court or jail, magistrate or policeman or any other omccr of the law on this 1,000 miles of seaboard, where all these people are wresting a subsistence from the ocean. For thirty-three years thcrc has been no session of court held, and in fifty years the only criminal charge which is recorded is that against an Esquimau whost' jealousy was aroused against a rival in his wife's affection, and who shot the man as he walked with her. Forty years ago there was a circuit court sent there every summer, but as it found nothing to do it was abolished. In the past Labrador was a famous pirate stronghold and required a French squadron to reduce it. Unusual attention has been called to Labrador within the last year and this may lead to a change. When any scr- ious charge is made now a magistrate. is sent from Newfoundland to attend to it. ._.._+___.___ JAPS WANT LONGER LEGS.

A sensational story of the sea is re- lated by the ofliccrs of the German steamer Willchad, which has arrived at Sydney, Australia, from the islands of the Bismarck Al‘Clllllt‘lllgO‘. A few weeks ago six French convicts from New Caledonia were discovered on a remote portion of the Island on New Britain in a deplorable condition, and or being questioned it was ascertained that they, with ten others, had escaped from Noumga nearly twelve months ago. They constructed several rafts from stairs of beer barrels. and rigged limp frail craft with sails of the most primi- tivc description. One of the rafts. occupied by six men. after many months, safely rm,.},_ an an uninhabited portion of New RH; tuin. after a terrible voyage of nearly 2,000 liiilcs.

These snakes are climbers, and a wonderful provision of nature has been made for them to break their fall in case, of acci- dent when at a height. froui the ground. They have a sort of hinge line in the skin, on either side of the body, and by muscular contractii‘in the ventral surface of the reptile is drawn in so as to become quite concave and the body more flattened. ‘When falling, instead of wriggling as other snakes do, they hold their bodies perfecth rigid) and glide down slowly to the ground. which they reach at quite an angle from where their fall began. aatilfftil iiaiiiiiii‘ii tiliSE. “‘fiétfffatiif'ffstflzfafém “For oevoral yearl I have been troubled with gas around my heart, shortness of breath, in fact, if I walked my usual gait my breath would get? so short I would be compelled to make several stops during my walk. “ Of late my food did not digest properly.
