The Standard With Two Pairs of Kars and Possl- lHy Two Lives at Stake and No Ransom In Sight, the Captives De cided It Was Time For Basiness. - [Copyright, 3000, by C. B. Lewis.] If an American wants to go abroad on a cash capital of $500, there Is no law to prevent, even if he is a news paper man who lias saved and econo mized for six or seven years to get that much wealth together. When I started out with my friend Glllam, who was an artist instead of a journalist, and had $50 less capital as well, we took steerage passage on a steamer and planned to do Europe ou foot and avoid all extravagances. As to how we got along until we struck Greece and a certain event happened is of no great consequence. We tramped here and there, ate, slept and had a fairly good time. From Athens we went on a tramp up the country, viewing tombs and rains by tlio way, and after putting in two days at Marathon we started out one morning for a hamlet called Histro- phus. We were first met liy about a dozen dogs of ail sizes, ages and colors, and each one a worse looking dog than the one-who came after. After we hail clubbed the pack off we were charged down upon by nine children of various sizes anil ages, all of whom needed soap and water. They rallied around ns for small coin, and not getting any they fell back and gave four women a chance. We got rid of the latter to encounter three men, one of whom could speak a little English. They were dirty, ragged villains, who did not hesitate to threaten us, and not a word could we get out of them about the ruins until we had. come down with backsheesh. Gillum started out after a bit to do some sketching, while I found a place to take a nap, and the Inhabitants of Histroplius finally got out of breath begging for coins and trying to get ns to liny a skeleton old goat for $2 and went back to their flea Infested huts. At the end of two hours I was awak ened by. some one giving me a smart kick on the hip. and I roused up to sec that we lmd been taken prisoners by four brigands. The fellows had eomc down off the mountains, about four miles away, having probably been no tified by a messenger from tlio village. I have many times rend of the pictur esque Greek brigands, but the four who gobbled us np that day must have gone out of the picturesque business some weeks previous. They were a ragged, ugly lot, no better than the men of the village, and we were far more disgusted with tlieir breaths tliap afraid of their knives. The leader spoke English fairly well, and 1 have always felt grateful to him on that account. All leaders of Greek brigands should learn three or four languages before proceeding to business, as it is a great help toward an understanding about identity, money matters and so forth. It was the leader who had kicked me, which I have always taken as a com pliment, and as 1 sat up lie saluted me and said: “My lord, you will please consider yourself a prisoner and come along without resistance.” “But don’t make any mistake on me,” I replied. “As near as 1 can make out from this short range you are brigands.” “X am Bobetto,” he said as lie laid his hand on his heart and bowed low. “Excuse me that I never heard of you before. You are a brigand and in it for money, and tills is your hand?” “My lord Is correct.” “Now, about this lord business. Let us have an understanding. Who do you take me for?” “An English lord, my lord. I have been expecting you for several days. The name 1 cauuot pronounce, but I know you to he the gentleman. Have no fears for yonr safety, as it will be a case of ransom.” “This is kind of you. If you take me for an English lord, who do y*u make this other chap to he?” “Yonr companion, sir. His name I heard, hut cannot give it He will also be held for ransom.” Then we started off to the west. The particular retreat of this hand was half way up a mountain, and consisted of two brush huts and a fire in front of them. We were in no manner ill used. They cotild have robbed us of our few dollars and personal property, hut they did not e.ven search us for weapons. As soon as we had arrived at the lints, however, Bobetto brought out stationery and commanded me to write to tlio English minister at Athens and obtain the sum of $30,000. Both Gillnrn and I burst out laughing at this demand, and after a little I said to the leader: “Of what use to play the fool in this matter? As X told yon before, we are Americans, and poor men at that We can raise about $200 apiece, hut not another cent, and if you take that we shall have to turn brigands and com pete with you in business.” “You may he Americans, but you are my lord just the same,” replied. Bo betto. “But there are no titles in America. If X should write to the American min ister, he would take It as a joke. Yon haven't got a soft snap in this thing, old fellow. Had you got hold of Bock- efeller, Gould or Vanderbilt you might have made a raise and bought a garlic factory, hut we are almost down to hardpan. Sorry for you, but you can’t always hit it, even in the brigand busi ness.” “But you must write,” persisted the wooden beaded rascal. “You must tvrite to the American minister that if he does not send ns $10,000 by our messenger your ears will be sent him In a package!” I read the letter to Bobetto after It was written, and he was perfectly sat isfied that it would fetch the cash in reply. It was sent off by a messenger, who would he gone nt least ten days, and then we went into “retirement.” It Is the rule with all brigands who have a prisoner ou hand ta lie low and take no chances. I thought it well to prepare this gang for a disappointment, and when the messenger had departed f told them that he would only have the journey for nothing. “It cannot be for nothing,” grimly re plied Bobetto as he brought out a knife and felt of its c-dges. “If no money comes, then your ears go to Athens! If uiey ran io unng n, tnen we win senn on your heads!” Sentinels were posted on the hills around to prevent a surprise, and we had nothing to do but loaf about. Bo betto thought he knew the game of poker, and it was for ns to undeceive him. In three days Gillam and I had won every cent lie had. We offered to put up $200 against our ears, lnit the brigand assured us with great dignity that it wasn’t regular. About once a day I thought It my duty to inform Bobetto that we were moneyless Amer icans and that there was nothing in it for him. and he always replied to me with a lift of the eyebrows and a shrug of the shoulders and the words: “Time will tell, my lord; time will loll. It lias happened that I have, had to send ears anil head to -Athens be fore.” For the first five days of onr captivi ty we were closely guarded, and there could lie no thought of escape. Then, as we appeared to make ourselves at home, the vigilance of the brigands was relaxed. While only four had been concerned in our capture, there were really six in the hand. One of them had a broken leg. anil the other was acting as a nurse. Two sentinels were always stationed at points half a mile away, and occasionally n brigand fell asleep during the day. 1 think it was on the eighth day and at aliont 3 o’clock iu the afternoon when the bri gand nurse was sent for provisions. As two were acting as sentinels and a third was lying helpless, this left only two men to deal with. One of these was Bobetto, and he sat with his hack to a rock dozing with the heat of the day. Gillam was lying on his hack, while I was looking carelessly at a Greek newspaper. All of a sudden the artist sat tip and whispered to me: “Let’s end this right here and now! You tackle the leader, and I’ll go for tlio other fellow!” The “other fellow" was at the fire heaping the brands together. \Ve rose np in unison and made the attack. I gave old Bobetto a kick on the jaw which knocked him over and caused doleful howls, nnd Gillam hit his man Bueli a blow on the neck as to render him unconscious for half an hour. There were two gnus in camp, and we seized them and made for the high way, only a mile distant. Before de parting 1 gave the leader a tap on the head to quiet his yells, anil so far as I know we were not followed a rod. Wo reached tlio highway just in time to get a lift in a passing cart and in a cou ple of hours were in Marathon. As to the letter, it was delivered at the con sulate, but was looked upon as a joke and the messenger sent off empty handed. We might have lost our ears on his return, hut were not there to have them sliced off. Bobetto died two years later, as 1 read in the pa pers. and it is said that lie was badly disfigured by a broken jaw—the one “my lord” gave him with an American calfskin shoe. M. Quad.

One day', with a friend, he entered the gloomy nnd half empty precincts of Trinity chnreh, New York, and took a hack sent in the obscurity and for a moment forgot to remove Ills hat or was probably just about to do so when an officious verger stepped up and requested him to take it off. Walt, a mail of immense pride, not seeing fit to do so instantaneously or being very slow in' Ills mental proc esses. was taking the matter into con sideration for a second when the verger knocked tlio offending hat off his head. Walt picked up the huge felt and, doubling it together, smote the fellow vigorously twice or thrice with it on the head and slowly left the church, the red faced sexton fol lowing and threatening him with the law.—Boston Transcript. Crosses and Thieves. Several years after the close of the civil war a reception was held in Lynchburg, Va., to commemorate some national event, says V. Halsey in I.ip- plnc-ott's Magazine. Many men were there assembled who had fought in the war. Among them was a major of a Massachusetts regiment, who, meeting General .Tubal Early of the Confeder ate army, cordially greeted him. Pointing to liis own decorations,-the major said, “Ah, general, you see we have all the crosses now.” “Yes,” replied the old general. “In olden times they hung thieves on cross es.

The performance of the Shakespeare an drama of “Hamlet” was dragging It self slowly along. The time had come for the appear ance of the ghost. There was a slight delay owing to the tardiness of the ghost in respond ing to its cue. The profound stillness that followed was broken by a loud voice in the front row of the main balcony: “Mamma, there are 37 men down there with round white spots on top of their heads.” And no stage ghost ever made its ap pearance under more discouraging aus pices than the armor clad phantom that came stalking upon the st&ge at this moment.—Chicago Tribune. PnrrotH Natural Gymnasia. The curious gymnastic feats which parrots sometimes perform Ip, their cages have been ascribed to the desire of the birds to vary the monotony of their life in captivity. That was the opinion of Mrs. Mandsley, the wife of the Central American explorer, until she lived in the forest region near Copan, where she saw the parrots In a state of perfect freedom indulging in all the feats practiced by their caged cousins.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or set tling indicates an unhealthy condi tion of the kid neys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kid ney trouble; too frequent desire to pass It or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and blad der are out of order.

There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times, during the night.
