She blUBhed and fluttered, and hung bei head: But he drew her close in his strong young arms. "You were jealous of Gtertrude Gray,' he said. "Forgive me, darling, but you were cold. And you coouettea with rival beaux." And here they Kissed, and he crowned her locks With the dewy buds of the damask rose. â€" [Waverly Magazine 'I' HJii STILETTO. Looking at my friend as he lay upon my "bed, with the jewelled knife handle protrud- ing from his breast, I believed that he was dying. Would the physician never come "Pull it ont, old fellow, "begged the suf- ferer through white, drawn lips, his gasping voice being hardly less distressing than the unearthly look in his eyes. "No, Arnold," said I, as I held his hand and gently stroked his forehead. It may have been instinct, it may have been a certain knowledge of anatomy that made me refuse. "Why not It hurts," he gasped. " It was pitiful to see him suffer, this strong, healthy, hair-brained, daring, reck- less young fellow. The resident physician walked in â€" a tall, grave man, with gray hair. He went to the bed, and I pointed to the knife handle, with its great bold ruby in the end and its diamonds and emeralds alternating in quaint designs in the sides. The physician started. He felt Arnold's pulse and looked puzzled. "When was this done " he asked. "About twenty minutes ago," I replied. The physician started out, beckoning me to follow. "Stop " said Arnold. We obeyed. "Do you wish to speak of me f he asked. "Yes," answered the physician, hesitat- ing.^ "Speak in my presence, then," said my friend; "I fear nothing." It was said in his old -imperious way, al- though his suifering must have been great. "If vou insist â€" " "I do." "Then," said the physician, "if you have any â€" any matters tb^o adjust, they sliould be attended to at once. I can do nothing for you."' Tiiere was a little unsteadiness in his voice. "How long can I live V asked Arnold. The physician thoughtfully stroked his gray beard. "It depends, "he finally said; "if the knife mediciuecaine and I be witiidrawn. you may live tliree minutes if it be allowed to remain, you may possibly live an hour or two â€" not longer. " Arnold never flinched. It was not the first time that he had faced death, which had j no terrois for him. "Thank you," he' said, smiling faintly throiigli his pain "my friends will pay you. â-  1 have some things to do. Let the knife re- ' main. " He turned his eyes to mine, and, •pressing my hand, said affectionately, "And I thank you, too, old fellow, for not pulling it otu." The physician, moved by a sense of delic- acy, left the room, saying, â€" "Ring if there is a change. I will be in the hotel ofiice. " He had not gone .far when he turned and came back. "Pardon me," said he, "but there is a young surgeon in the hotel who is said to be •a very skilful man. My specialty is not sur- gery, but medicine. May I call him " "Yes," said I, eagerly but Arnold smiled and shook his head. "I fear there will not be time," he said. But I refused to heed him, and directed that the surgeon be called immediately. I was writing at Arnold's dictation when the tw:o men entered the room. There was sometjiing of nerve and assur- ance in the young surgeon that struck my attention. His manner, though quiet, was bold and straightforward and his movements sure and quick. These are general peculiar- ities of highly educated young surgeons. This young man had already distinguished himself in the performance of some difficult hospital laparotomies, and he was at that sanguine age when ambition looks throutrh the spectacles of experiment. And the^i, 2eal and ambition are often identical.' Doctor Raoul Entrefort was the nev,-comer"3 name. He was a Creole, small and j dark, and he had travelled and studied in Europe. ••Speak freely," gasped Arnold, after Doctor Entrefort had made an exammation. '• What think you, doctor " asked Entre- fort of the older man. '• I think, was the reply, " that the knife blade has penetrated the ascending aorta, about two inches above the heart. As long as the blade remains in the wound the escape of blood is comparatively small though certain wftre the blade withdrawn, the heart would almost instantly empty itself through the aortal wound. " Meanwhile, Entrefort examined the gem studded hilt with the keenest interest. •' You are proceeding on the assumption, doctor, he said, "that this weapon is a knife." "Certainly," answered Doctor Rowell smiling " what else can it be V " It is a knife," faintly interposed Arnold " Did you see tie blade " Entrefort. a«tor him quickly. ness, "some of which are, so far as I am in- formed, entirely novel in the Mstoiy of surgery." A quizzicaJ expression, faintly amused and manifest^ interested, was upon Doctor Bowell's face. "What is the weapon, doctor!" he asked. " A stiletto." Arnold started. Doctor Rowell appeared confused. " I must confess," he said, "my ignorance of the differences among these penetrating weapons." " With the exception of the stiletto," ex- plained Entrefort, " all the weapons you mention have one or two edges, so that in penetrating they cut their way. A stiletto is round, is ordmarily about half an inch or less in diameter at the guard, but tapers to a sharp point. It penetrates solely by pushing the tissues aside in all directions. I You will understand the importance of that I point. " I Doctor Rowell nodded, more deeply inter- ested than ever. " How do you know it is a stiletto. Doc- tor Entrefort " I asked. " The cutting, of these stones is the work of Italian lapidaries," he said, "and they were set in Genoa. Notice, too, the guard. It is much broader and shorter than the guard of an edged weapon in fact it is nearly round. This weapon is about four hundred yeai^ old, and would be cheap at twenty thousand florins. Observe, also, the darkening color of your friend's breast in the immediate 'icinity of the guard this indicates that the tissues have been bruised ' by the crowding of the ' blade,' if I may use the term." "What has all this to do with me?" ask- ed the dying man. "Perhaps a great deal, perhaps nothing. It brings a single ray of hope into your des- perate condition. " "Arnold's eyes sparKled and he caught his breath. A tremor passed all through him, and I felt in the hand I was holding. Life was sweet to him, then, after allâ€" sweet to this wild dare-devil who had just faced death with such calmness Doctor Rowell, though showing no sign of jealousy, cquld not conceal a look of incredulity and also of pain that Entrefort should offer any hope to the sufferer. "With 3-our permission," said Entrefort,- addressing Arnold, "I will do what I can to save your life. " "You may," said the poor boy. "But I shall have to hurt you." "Well." "Perhaps very much." "Well." "And even if I succeed (the chance is one in a thousand) you -w-ill never be sound man again, and a constant and teryible danger will always be present." 'Well.

I speak frankly, for I see that you are a m'au of ex- traordinary nerve. Am I riglit " "Be perfectly candid," said Arnold.

Entrefort shot a quick The physician and the surgeon then retired. Tlie poor sufferer straightenied up his busi- ness. When it was done he asked me, â€" " What is that crazy Frenchman going to to me "' " I have no idea be patient." In less than an hour they returned, bring- ing with them a keen-eyed, tall yoi'.ng man, who had a number of tools wrr pped in an apron. Evidently he was unused to such scenes, for he became deathly pale upon see- ing the ghastly spectacle on my bed. -With staring eyes and open mouth he began to re- I treat toward the door, stammering, â€" " Iâ€" I can't do it." I " Nonsense, Hippolyte Don't be a baby j Why, man, it is a case of life and death." i " Butâ€" look at his eyes He is dying." i Amok! smiled. i " I am not dead, though," he gasped. " Iâ€" I beg your pardon," saidHippolpte. I Doctor Entrefort gave the nervous man a j drink_ of brandy, and then said, â€" " No more nonsense, my boy; it must be done. Gentlemen, allow me "to introduce Mr. Hippolyte, one of the most original, ingenious and skilful machinists in the country. " Hippolyte, being modest, blushed as he bowed. In order to conceal his confusion, he unrolled his apron on the table with consider- able noise of rattling tools. Doctor Entrefort opened a case of surgical instruments. "Now, doctor, the chloroform," he said to Doctor Rowell. "I will not take it," promptly interposed the sufferer '•! want to know when I die " "Very weU," said Entrefort "but you have little nerve to spare. We will try it Arithout chloroform, however.

" "Mu8t»yonknowr' "Yes." â-  • 'Very well, than. The point of the stiletto has passed entirely through the aorta, which is the great vessel rising out of the heart and carrying the aerated blood to the arteries. If I should withdraw the weapon the blood would rush from the two holes in the aorta and you would soon be. dead. AU that U left for us to do, then, is to allow the stiletto to remam permanently in the aorta. Many tlithculties at once present themselves, and I «lo not wonder at Doctor RoweU's look of surprise arid incredulity. " Thatgentlemanisnuled,and shook hishead. It is a desperate chance," continued En- trefort "and is a novel case in surgery, but It IS the only chance. The fact *th£t the weapon IS a stUetto is the important pointâ€" Entrefort asked » stupid weapon, but a blessing to li now If the a^assin had known more she would an assassin would carry so „ uable a weapon second, no man would stupid enough to carry so antiquated and inadequate a thin^t as a. stiletto, when that most murdttons and satisctoiy of all penetrating and cutting weapons, the bowel- knife, is hajqpily a^^ilable. She was a strong woman, too, for it requires a good hand to drive a stiletto to the guard. She was not only a strong woman, but a des- perate one also. " ' 'That will do, " said Arnold. He beckon- ed me to bend closer. "You must watch this man he is dangerous. " " Then," resumed Entrefort, " I shall tell you what I intend to do, and the dangers accompanying it. " This he did at some length, stating that though the blade was now firmly held in place, many things might conspire to dis- place it before the various muscles and spaces became accustomed to the new con- dition of things. " I am uncertain," he said, " whether the hold is now maintained by the pressure of the tissues or the adhesive quality of the serum which was set free by the pimcture. I am convinced, though, that in eitner event the hold is easily broken, and that it may give way at any moment, for it is under several kinds of strains. Every time the heart contracts and crowds the blood into the aorta, the latter expands a little, and then contracts when the pressure is removed. Any unusual excitement or exercise produces stronger and quicker heart beats and increas- es the strain on the adhesion of the aorta to the weapon. A fall, a jump, a blow on the chest â€" any of these might so jar the heart and aorta as to break the hold." Entrefort stopped. " Is that all " asked Arnold. "No but is not that enough " "More than enough," said Arnold, with a sudden, dangerous sparkle in his eyes. Before any of us could think, the desper- ate fellow had seized the handle of the stil- etto with both hands in a determined effort to withdraw it and die. I had had iio time to order my faculties to the movement of a muscle, when Entrefort, with incredible alertness and swiftness, had Arnold's wrists. Slowly Arnold relaxed his hold. "There, now " said Entrefort, soothing- ly "that was a careless act and might have broken the adhesion. Y'ou'U have to be careful. " Arnold looked at him with a curious com- bination of facial expressions. "Doctor Entrefort," he said. "Well?" "You are the devil. " Bowing profoundly, Entrefort replied, â€" "You give me too great honor. " Then he whispered hurriedly to Arnold "If you do that" â€" with a motion toward the hilt â€" "I will have her hanged for murder." Arnold, almost choking, and with a look of horror, /withdrew his hands, took one of mine in lrith of his, and placed theu on the pillow above his head. "Now proceed with your work, he said to Entrefort. The doctor's hand was quick and sure, but hardly had the operation begun when Arnold fainted away. " Good " cried Entrefort. "We can work better now." When he returned to consciousness lie glanced down at his breast. He looked puzzled. " Where is the thing " he asked. " Here is part (rf it," explained Entrefort, holding up the handle. " And the bladeâ€"" "Is an irremovable part of your internal machinery." -A.niold was silent. ^^ "It had to be cut off," resumed Entrefort, " not only because it would Ije troublesome ' and an undesirable ornament, but also be- 1 cause it was very necessary to remove any possibility of withdrawing it." Arnold said nothing. "i^^r*' *^ prescription," said Entrefort take the medicine as directed for the next ten years, without fail." 'What for I see that it contains muriatic acid. " J "^*y explain ten years from now." " If I live." " If you live." Arnold pulled me down to him and faintly gaudy wid val- J able relief she recognised neither my lO man would be nor my isce. I must have appear name nor my tsce. x musi nave appeared a peculiar person to her, but it was impossible to be perfectly nonchalant. We went Arnold's rooms, I with painful fear. I left her in the reception-room and feok Entrefort within. Arnold was too greatly absorbed with his own troubles to be dangerously excited by meeting Entrefort, whom he greeted with indifferent courtesy. "But I heard a woman's voice," he said, and before I could move he had gone to the reception-room, and stood face to face with the beautiful adventuress who, wickedly desperate, had driven a stiletto into his vitals in a hotel seven years before because he refused to marry her. They recogfaized each other. Both started and turned pale but she, quicker witted, recovered her composure at once and advanc- ed toward him with a smile and an extend- ed hand. He staggered back, his face ghastly with fear. "Oh " he cried out, "the blade has slip- ped out â€" I felt it fall â€" the blood is pour- ing out â€" it bums â€" I am dying " and he fell into my arms and instantly expii-ed. The autopsy revealed the astonishing fact that there was no blade in him at all. It had been gradually consumed by the muria- tic acid which Entrefort had prescribed for that purpose, and with which Arnold had kept his system constantly filled, and the wounds in the aorta had closed in steadily with the wasting blade and were perfectly healed. All his vital organs were sound. My poor friend, once so reckless and brave, had died simply of a childish, groundless fear of a woman and she, unwittingly, had accomplished her revenge. lATE BBITlf THE ANTABCTirsvJj' The Salmon Caich 1, ^».
