I offered what resistance I could, but my efforts were ns noihiug opposed to the strength of my tormentor, who persisted In her purpose, her tongue running with great volubility while ■be saturated my ahlrt front wl'.b brandy. "This Is what comes of rend ing novels. God bless us nil, look at Urn also of that onel How thankful I am that I never allowed my sainted iWIUIaui to see any such devices pt Satan!

All uov.da are alike; though, 1 must any, that Is mi extra large one. Ah, It my poor dead boy were alive, he would lie fust about your age, and, oh, how like you he was! E verybody said what a sweet face my William had—Just like a girl’s. Ho was a good boy.” Hero the old Indy, being over come with emotion, resumed her seat, by which clrcumstnuco I was enabled to breathe once more, having leurued that It la neither pleasant nor Judicious when In a fainting condition to be I’lujciod ugiuusi m fui individual en veloped In a vast quantity of crape. The collapse of my fellow-passenger .was the slgual for my recovery. It was with much satisfaction that I perceived we hod nearly arrived at Cambridge, where 1 was to change trains. It had transpired in some remarks to her maid that my trouble some fellow-passenger \rno uieo going to Bury St.Ediiiund's; but 1 resolved to avoid her companionship for the sec ond port of my Journey by taking a seat In a smoking compartment; and with my precious Volume safely Stowed lu my hag, on tko handle of which l kept my hand, I sat looking out of tho wludow ready to alight the moment wo entered the statlou. The old lady must have divined my attention to flee from her at tlie ear liest possible moment, for, though she did not cease to talk, she now assumed a somewhat quieter manner, conflniug her remarks to what she was pleased to consider my wonderful resemblance to her dear boy In heaven, and Inviting me to visit her at my earliest con venience that abe might have the pleasure of gazing on my features, to which end she presented me with her card— : Hits.

The shon Journey trum Cambridge to llury passed without Incident. I tried hard to dispassionately consider the facts whieli my ancestor's Record had so opportunely revealed—to di gest them and to weigh the chances for and against the treasure lmviug been long ago found and appropriated; but my mental balance was too greatly disturbed lor tho task, and besides, thoughts of the living treasure which I might fearlessly claim were 1 but possessed Of those .oug immured Vene tian sequins obtruded themselves end prevented me resolving uyou any defl- l ulte plan of aetlou.

When two peraone discuss a case some practica ble notion will often occur to one of them which solitary contemplation falls to produce.

"I am not In the leaat uncharitable,” I retorted warmly. “On tbo contrary, I regret what has happened as much perhaps ns you do; but my sympathy Is more with grandfather than with Auule. Although I see but little use lu the Inquiry be has asked you to make, 1 was In the act of starting for Richmond to Investigate the clue be gave when tho Rev.

I had keen absent from my birth place only one week, but the changes which had been made In that brief period astonished me. The entire Hull was encompassed with an intricate network of scaffolding, and our beauti ful lnwn, disfigured by planks, ladders, and plies of slate and white hewn stone laid about In confusion. Mau.v of the upper windows had been token out, the vacant spaces presenting a grim. Inhospitable aspect. Thoughts of the enhanced grandeur of the place a few months hence failed to dispel the chilling depression that came over me ns I noticed these changes, and 1 entered my old home with sadder aud stranger feelings than I had ever be fore experienced. My discomfort waa increased when I saw the Ulterior. All the pictures aud armor had been removed from the hall.and staircase, and while part of the oak walls remained darkened liy the centuries part had been scraped aud pollahed and looked like the library walla of a Kensington mansion built 'tatted*jr. la nearly all ths rooms the furniture was displaced and mneb of It covered up. “How do you like the look of the place?” naked my father with a faint smile. The disconsolate expression of my face which prompted this query wot a sufficient answer to It I do not re member having ever before having been so profoundly miserable as when we wandered together from room ra room hbd along the gloomy corridors Surveying the confusion which every where prevailed. "Come, don't be so melancholy about It” urged my fatber; “In seven or eight weeks at most the Hall will be thor oughly restored and cleaned, aud the architect your uncle has engaged na tures me that the renovatlou shall be effected In tbe most conservative man ner possible, tbe antiquity of tbe place being in no way damaged.” I observed that I boped It might be saved buffalo bill's home.

The half-naked Stokers poking tril lions of francs into the furnaces IS If they had been handling shavings were, indeed, a curious sight, and even when It was explained that the novel kind ling was composed of cancelled notes on the Bank of Algiers, some of the passengers still felt as if they bid been witnesses of a distressing spectacle. In the Bank of England!a milHon- dollar fire is not at all an nnnaoal- ovent. No Bank of England note which gets back to tbe bank Is ever put in circulation again, bnt Is laid away in a special place for future in cineration. When a sufficient number of notes have been accumulated they are put in a furnace and burned np.

And the im pecunious man heaves a sigh as ho thinks of the millions of pounds which that smoke represents. Another spectacle of wealth which Is not wealth at all is afforded by a real- dent of London who has a room papered with Government bonds and paper currency. At the bonds and bills are those of a defunct South American government, the wall paper la not so valuable a%lt appears at first, but it represents a fortune which tbe owner's misguided father Invested In these “se curities” in the days when they bad a market value.—New York Frees. here since he was n boy, and has been a good and faithful servant.” * That will ho rather lonely for him. won't It? Fancy old John Adams, bach elor and ex-butler, who never lmd a thought that went beyond his side board or the kitchen, living by himself lU n cottage!” "It will bo as lonely for him as it has been for mo tho week that my boy was lu Londou,” agreed my good- natured father, and then reverted to the case of my unfortunate Aunt An nie. I listened to his opinions and con jectures with but feeblo Interest, mak ing pretence of so much interest as de cency* required, while I debated with myself how I might best go down into the crypt unobserved by my father or tho servants. Very rarely was anybody out of bed at Holdenhurst Hall at so late au hour as eleven in the eveuing; and I therefore determined, if I could only screw my courage up to the necessary pitch, to make a secret visit to tho crypt at midnight. With this purpose in view I withdrew to my room as soon as possible, ami having unpacked my bag wrote to Miss Marsh; but I was so unsettled and unnerved that I made three rough drafts of a short letter before I could express myself to my satisfaction. That task Accom plished, I went into the gardcu, nud thence wandered to the stables to fetch a lantern which luiug behind one of the doors there—a ponderous structure of glass and metal, encasing an oil lamp, the whole depending on a huge ring; such a lantern as the watchmen of London carried in the time of the Georges. Having assured myself that it was provided with oil aud a wick, I conveyed it to my room, and then returned to my father, who at once resumed the discussion of which I was so heartily weary. As with most matters which are much discussed, no decision was reached; and when at ten o’clock we separated for tho night, I retired to my room in a strange con dition of uurest, a prey to diversified emotions, Hope aud Fear struggling for the mastery.

Mrs. Cody sontlnued to direct operations, and It was due to her Unerring Judgment that the losses entailed were not greater. She was calm and collected throughout the try ing ordeal, and It was not until the flames had caused all the damage they could did her woman's nature assert Itself. Then she fainted. The Cody homo was sated, but two Immense buildings, one contained 400 tons of hay and the other all of the farm Implements, were destroyed, causing a loss of fully ?10,000.—Denver Post. ADVENTURE OF A BOY. This Is a Cohlse County communica tion to the Republican from Frank Aley, who hold! a medal for veracity awarded to hltq by the Chicago World's Fair management. He wears another bestowed by the Buffalo Exposition, and he Is now training for the truth fulness competition at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. “I was down to Uncle Dave Williams’ shack ln the Solomon Springs district day before’yesterday, and I never hod such a fresh pork feed since I attended the last hog killing In Missouri Just before the Are in the woods, end It hap pened this way. Bobby Butler was out about a quarter of a mile from the shack prospecting for fuel to keep the beans simmering, when he jumped up a tjunch of Javillnos, or wild pigs, and he had no sooner Jumped them up than they Jumped him, too. Now. the javillno Is about twenty Inches high, two Inches thick, and about three feet long, the length being absorbed In equal proportions by the body and the snout. He Is called a javillno because he resembles a Javelin. He is Equally well adapted to cultivating grensewood nnd boring wells. His hair Is like por cupine quills, and be has the nastiest temper ever discovered. "He will light anything from a pet poodle to a railroad company, and Mr. Butler, being perfectly familiar with his reputation, flew. He had made about three jumps when he was confronted by n giant mescal, the same which grows to a height of about thirty feet ou those flats. Bobby gave one grand leap, went over the bayonets which snrround the base of the big mescal stock and fitted himself to the aforesaid stock, and wrapplac hla legs an sad it, leokad (omtltcenUy dawn >H OUSDWU> fight a mountain lion. While A. C. Markleln and Mr. Mc Carthy, New York oil prospectors, were rldlnf along Busby Kane Creek, Ky, they were attacked by a moun tain Hon. The beast sprang on the horse ridden by Markleln and bare him to the ground. Markleln'* leg was caught under th* horse.

Markleln wae mortally hurt, while McCartby’a clothing waa torn to shreds and bis body stvsrely scratched. WOMAN KILLS WILDCAT. Killing a wildcat weighing 100 pound! and nearly six feet from tip to tip, te tbe feat credited to Mrs. It, J. Warden, of Pueblo, Colo. The an imal was killed by two bullets from a thlrty-elgbt-eallbre revolver after It had pounced upon her flfteen-year-otd brother, who bad gone to the barn te* see why the family horse was so rest less. When be opened the door the huge tnlmal sprang at him, throwing him to the ground. His yells tor help reached Mrs. Warden, who seised a re volver and rnshed to the barnyard and fired at the beast. Two shots, ene en tering the head and the other the shoulder, ended its existence. The boy's Injuries were not serious. HEROIC SCHOOL TEACHER. Plunging Into the Desplalnes River, Miss Louise Jackson, a school teacher, of Maywood, a suburb of Chicago, rescued one of her pupils, the little daughter of Samuel G. Kline, after the mother of tbe child had fainted and two boya who had accidentally knocked the little one Into the river had run away. Unaided, Mies Jack- son fought her wty through the swift waters of the Desplalnes, which Is at higher flood stage than for years, and It was only after she had slipped back Into the river from the crumbling bank several times that the young wo. man brought the little girl safely ashore. PRINCESS KILLS BEAR. At a bunting party at Gatshlna, Rns. sis, given by the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Vladithfr recently, the Grand Duchess, who Is a famous shot, had a narrow escape. She killed one bear and then shot at another, wound ing It. The enraged animal struck one of tbe beaters, ripping the clothing from his back and tearing hit shoul der. Then, rising to his full height, nyer six feet, the bear rushed upon the Grand Duchess.

When she is getting a meal ready she sets this upon the kitchen table, and as fast as the dishes for the tabto are ready, she places them upon it—' bread, butter, pickles, celery, etc. Then ahe carries in everything at one trip, thus making “her head save her heels.” When the meal Is over sho “carries out the dead.” as they call it tn the restaurant*, ln tbe same .way , MADE FROM HANDKERCHIEFS?/ Thera 1* such a fad for making all manner of pretty and useful articles from handkerchiefs that manufactur ers have vied with each other ln the production of artistic effects in printed, embroidered nnd lace trimmed band- kerchle/s, especially tor purposes of fancy work. i The handkerchief tod has unnum bered followers, for the reason that it affords occupation of a simple and easy character, and th! results are al ways of some use. j Pillow shams nnd cushion covers, 1 alike, are lovely when made of fine lace trimmed handkerchiefs or finely embroidered ones. Xhere arc so many sizes of these that one hns only to use the smallest size for cushion covers and the largest for pillow shams. For the centre a pretty Idea Is to have a 1 ; •Ingle handkerchief with n very deep border, nnd then embroider the Initial ln tbe centre of the square. Handkerchiefs make charming ruf fles and. frills for underwear, as tbe aoruers are ao decorative and can be Joined or left separate at will. A dainty scarf for a dressing table Is made of eight lace trimmed hand kerchief*. Joined together at the points of the lace or with a narrow lace beading. Ribbon Is run through the open spaces of the point', or bend ing, and bows are tied at the Inter sections of the handkerchiefs. Six of these are sufficient for a small dress* lng table, and three men's handker- chlafs arc sufficient for n scarf, where large one* are used. They are Joined" hy lace beading, run through with baby ribbon, and bare a frill of lace on the edges. Embroidered handkerchiefs wear better than lace ones do, nnd arc al most as effective. When plain hand kerchiefs ore used It Is pretty to dot or featherstitch tbe hems with colored silk of the tint of the baby ribbon used ln the trimmings.—New York News. ■^ovJSEWo^ [ jiEcip|s 5 Cheese Custards — Grate three ouncee of American cheese; beat three level tablespoonfuls of butter to a cream; mix cheese and butter togeth er; then add the beaten eggs and one tablespoonfnl of milk; heat thor oughly; pour Into a buttered dish and bake ln a quick oven; serve Immedi ately.
