An I'ncxpeoted Discovery.
'1 he next day Kalph Kaymond's
unfavorable symptoms had returned,
and ho was pronounced worso by tho
physician. Yet tho change was not
sufficiently marked to excite sus-
picion. It was supposed that his
oonstitution had not vitality enough
to rally against tho steady ap-
proaches of tho diBeaso under which

might-bo roquired to substantiiito

"What is your soil's name?" asked
Paul Morton, rousing a littlo from
tho stupor into which tho informa-
tion had thrown him.
"Robert Raymond It was tho
name of ray wifo's only brother, who
had died young, and as I had no par-
ticular preference, I allowed her to

to look one full in the face.
"Well. Mr. Morton," sai l his wifo,
leaning back in her chair, "luvoyou
brought mo tho money I asked for
yesterday?"
"No," *aiil Mr. Morion uneasily,
for ho know that I hi* reply would
elicit a storm.
"And why not, I should liko to
know?" sho exclaimed, with llash-
ing ryes, "Don't protend to say
you forgot it. for I won't believe any
such nonsense."
"No, I didn't forget it. Mrs. Mot-
ion," said hor husband, "but tho
fact is, it was not convenient for mo
to bring It "
"Not convenient! What do you
mean by that. Mr. Morton?" ex-
claimed tho lady in an angry voice.
"It is just as I say. Ihisincss is
very dull and money is tight."
"That is what you always say,"
said M rs. Morton, curling her lip.
"Whether I do or not, it is true
enough now. I wish it wasn't.'
"I only asked for a hundred dol-
lars. Surely that would make no
difference in your business."
"That is where you are mistaken.
If you will bo kind enough to re-
member how often you call upon me
for such triilos, and havo a head for
arithmetic, you can estinialo what
they will amount to in tho course of

"So you rcfuso, do you?" exclaimed
Mrs. Morton in deep anger.

"Give me your reason then. I

AN EXPERIENCE ALOFT.
Jake Una n Tussle With • Polar Bear la
the Hl|«lni.
Thoro fs an old sailor named Jake,
recently returned to San Francisco
from an Arctic cruise, who has
made up his mlntl not to go on an-
other whaling expe Jltlon, no matter
what happens Tho reason is this:
One ono occasion during his late
voyage .lake was on tho watch in
the nlght—.tLat is, as much night as
it over gets up thor^ in summer.
The sun had boon down about an
hour, and would riso again about an
hour later. It was a beautiful night,
as the ship lay there in tho ice. and
the air seemed scintillating with a
phosphorescent glow that penotratcd
everywhere and mmle no shadows.
On all sides tho pack ieo lay close to
tho vessel; aud reacbod fur miles in
every direction, broken occasionally
by a large Itorg or tho faint outlines
of another ship. Tho silence was
profound; it seemed to produce a
roaring sound liko the waves of a
distant ocean. Such surroundings
will put a iwt'Bon in a semi-comatose
state, from which the slightest
sound will awoken him with a start,
.lake suddenly saw something
white in the gloom climbing the
mast. His first impulse was lo jump
to the deck, hnt before he could act
upou il tho white object crawled
through tho lublter holo. and .lake
then saw that it was u polar bear,
.lake teal I zed that In; was in a most
dangerous position and began to think
of means of escape. He called to tho
watch on deck below, but they
couldn't hear. Ho tried lo get out
under the eftnvas, but tho beast
grabbed him and pulled hint baek.
It began thumping him aud every
time .lake attempted to move away
it would growl. Suddenly his eye's
lighted on a rope banging to the
deck just back of the cradle. By this
moans ho thought ho could reach tho
deck. To swing himself free was
but tho work of an instant, but tho
'tear made a jump und caught hold
of his foot. But a fow vigorous
kicks freed him and then l cgan a
new terror. Perhaps tho rope was
not strong enough and would break,
or ho might miss tho stay and swing
against tho mast and lte dashed to
deuth. The moment in tho ai.-
seemed years filled with horror, and
several times Jake wished he hail
taken his chances with tho bear. To
grab the stay and hold on was tbo
most difficult,and twico Jake's bauds
slipped and ulmost lost it
Whon he reached tho deck ho
looked up and saw tho rope swing
back to the cradle, when tbo bear
grabbed it. It tried to do as it had
seen Jake do, but had no sooner
swung clear than it slinpod and fell
to tho deck. Tho crew had bear-
eteak for breakfast.
Snap Shot at a Weak nriclj(e.
In Kngland a fow wooks ago a cor-
tain iron bridge of one of the rail-
ways was suspected of being unsafe.
It looked all right, but there were
sotDc reasons why tho managers were
afraid of it They could not decido
themselves and they sent up to Lon-
don for a famous engineer to come
and look it over. He came and was
puzzled, too, until he thought of a
way to test He took a Kodak and
made a picture of tho bridge with
no train upon it. Then he kopt his
camera in position and waited for a
fast train to come. Pretty soon an
express earoo thundering on, aii*i
Just as tbo big locomotive struck tho
bridge lie pulled open the slido and
took a second picture o". tho same
plate that still held the first. When
the plate was examined tho picture
with the train was found so much be-
low tho other as to show what the
engineer and managers had feared —
a dangerous droop to the bridge.—
