~ SLIGHTED LOVE AVENGED •now A JILTED PARISUN PUNKHED I A GIRL. K SJl»«e«.islu| Rival Was Denounctd as "-the Leader of a «ianfl ol Uurtjlars. .Slife'hlPd love has just been •'«"8i"6 lllself Ui two casw in a very diflerenl Wianncr Iroin Uie now stale recourse to 'the knife and the revolver, writes a 'J'aris correspuodenl of the London iele- igraph. In each instance the nicthods Ihave certainly not t)ecn devoid of on- kginalily, bnt while the author of the «ne has been requested to hold himsell «• the disposal of the police, the olhcr ,ljas won himself any amount of gra- 'tiliide from the family which had scorn- fully rejected his matcimonlal advances. Hero No. 1, if such a term can be ap- iplled to a pav law student somewhat laddieted to llirlalion, had been making jui- to a pretty brun.Hte in the Latin KJuarler. but the trirl, although not I currently supposed to be particularly Ihanl-hen'rlcd, had for some reason or ianolher sent him about his business. The youths vanity had been consider- ably wounded, he had vowed to pay her cut. and when a night or two ago she sought to repose of her downy couch in her trim little chamtier, high up in the house where she dwelt, and was )iist composinti herself to slumber, she was startled by a weird noise. .^he opened her eyes, and. to her dismay, be- ^eld a tall object attired in a volumin- ous white robe standing at the foot of her bed. Terror kept the fa.scinating bninrltc iniute, but when, in low deep tones, the v/ords, "I have come to fetch you and lo bear you away from this world," were uttered by the mysterious visitor, the poor girl .screamed out, "A GilOST! A GHOST!" and. bounding from her couch into the middle of the liny room, fell prone on the floor. Attracted by the noise, neigh- bors rushed in to find tlie chamber empty, save for the presence of its ten- ant, "who was lying in a slate of in- sensibility. The police and a doctor were promptly sent for, and when af- ter an hour's interval, the heroine of this prim adventure had been restored lo consciousness, she related that she had received the unwelcome visit of a .spirit. The olTicials. however, t)eing decidedly isccptical on this point, slart4?d on an investigation, with the result that the mischief was traced lo the law student, who confessed that he had got up Ihe scone to punish the lovely bnmelle for her rejeclion of his overtures, and that |he had obtained entrance to her room jl-y means of a false key. He has not ibeen arrested, but. as said above, has lo hold himself at the disposal of the conimLssiirv. Suitor No. 2 had made his advances If) m lovely girl, the daughter of retiretl lrade,speople. for what is called 'le bon molif.' that is lo say, his intentions were honni-able, atui ho meant marriage. L'n- forlunately. llie young man. nllhough tearing an excellent reputation,^ was (poor, so the family, which indulged in iambilions projects for the setllemcnt of â- the pretty damsel, gave him politely lo understand that he was no match for her. Not long after Ihe occurrence of this lilUe episode there appeared on the scene A \ERY SMART YOLTII, who gave himself out as having already a splendid silualion, which brought him in $:J.5O0 u year, and uas only a stcp- ping-slonc to a far more brilliant posi- tion. The girl and her parents were completely dazzled, and without start- ing on the slighlest inquiry received him with open arms. The wedding day was lixed. the trou.s.scau purchased, and relatives and friends were assembled at a dinner party which was to be a pre- lude to Ihe great event. Due justice had teen done to the viands, and dessert with sundry bottles of sparkling cham- pagne had been laid on (he table, when ilhe rejected suitor, who had been in- cluded in the invitations just by way ol showing thai there was no ill-feeling, rose to his feet and asked leave to make « little speech. How very noble of him. the family and the other guests ex- eioimed to themselves, but thoir horror may well be imagined when he de- nounced his succes.sf\il rival as a burg- IriK who was making a good thing by his nefarious trade, and "AS A WRDDING PRESE.NT" threw oTt the table a bundle of missives uddressed by acco!nplice.<? to the indi- \idual In question, whom he described B* Ihe ring lender of the gang. All eyes wofc hirned toward the bride- gruom-clecl. but ho uttered not a word, with blnnchetl cheeks and tottering slops he Iried lo m.ikc his way to the rioor. but ho was collared by Ihe father with indi<,'Mation at l!ie cruel trick that he had played, and a moment later was committed to the (XSTODY OF THE POLICE, who promptly conveyed him lo the do- rol at the Prefecture. It seems' thai ' Ihe rejccled suitor, pnrlly out of jeal- ' rusy and partly out of curiosity, as he ! was" by no means inclined to take his rival at his word, had entered into friendly relations with him. and Sfc-Ing one of his visits lo his dwelling had discovered a parcel of letters, which he ♦md contrived lo abstract, and which admitlcil of no doubt as to the nature (if Ihe very luonilive profession which the young man had embraced. The girl and her parents are. however, so grateful to the rejeclcd ^iiilor for hav- ing saved her from a shi eking fate that It looks as if he may not have lo play ihc sorry part of a rejeeleil .suitor much longer. The Irniisseini Is alll ready, it would be pity lo waste it. and, after all. IIS Ihe retired Irade.'^man i.s very ^orn'o'tiiblv off and the only objection •o Ihe youth is hi:J lack of fortune, the mallei' may be arranged. He, at any rslo. need not dread any unplenswn'l 'disclosures on U»o eve of his own niar- iriage. GERMANY'.S WAR aiEST. A Berlin contemporary has discovered that Germany's holding of foreign obli- gations totals $4,000. or four limes the uniount of the French war indemnityâ€" R striking instance of the enormous rate a', which the wealth of the empire ha.s accumuinled in recent years. This fig- ure has been cited as a reply to the L\BR.\DOR K A PEACEFIL L\.ND. There Is No Court or Jail, Magistrate ur Policeman.

Many of the Indians arc half- breeds, and IHere are 3,000 Esquimaux scattered along the northern waterfront. In addition il is visited each summer by some 20,000 Newfoundlandere, who en- 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 ofllccr of the law on this LOOO miles of seaboard, where all theso people are wresting a subsistence from the ocean. For thirty-three years there has been no .session of court held, and in fifty years the only criminal charge which is recorded is that against an Estguimau whose jealousy was aroused agaln.st 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 il was abolished. In the past Labrador was a famous pirate stronghold and required a French squadron to reduce it. Unusual altention has beenycalled to Labrador within the last yeaf and this may lead lo a change. When any ser- ious choi-ge is made now a magistrate is sent from Newfoundland to attend to it. 1 â-  JAPS WANT LONGER LEGS.
