A RAILWAY ADVENTURE.
The hour grew late, and Mr. Brand
paced his chamber in moody silence,
Tiie train had come in, but his
ger had not returned, and the merchant
was troubled—troubled by a vumie sort
of doubt, which haunted him irf spite
of his faith in Lake. A staid, sober old
trader, of long experience, had said that
IaUcc was too young to fill the important
position which he held, but Mr. Brand

TT having , heard . rumors SMM*ptn* _ n
, house with which lie bad extensive deal
ings, the merchant had dispatched Lake
to London, telling him to make inqui
ries, and in any case to get the partners
of the firnnn question to settle their ac
count.
So Lake bad gone from Liverpool to
London. The time appointed for his
return passed, and still he did not come,
A lady entered, and stole to the
chant’s side. Her own sweet face was
anxious, and there wa3 a tremor in the
music of her voice, asshe said :
“Doyou think he will be here to-night,
dear papa?”
“I hope so, Mary; but it is very late.”
“Is there no other train ?”
“Only the night express, and that

tkms.”
“Perhaps he will come, papa; he
would not mind coming ten miles, even
if he had to walk.”
“He should not have misted the train,”
said Mr. Brand, sternly; “punctuality
isan imperative duty with men of busi
ness.”
“But, papa, something may have
happened to detain him.”

strictness of principle, and how invet
erate was his dislike to any breach of
discipline, again. she did not vent ure to speak
The lime dragged slowly on; Mr.
Brand continued his restless walk, and
Alary sat subdued and quiet, watching
him. She saw that he was listening as
the night depths express w r ent whirling by, and
from the of her heart there went
up a prayer that Labe would come safely
home. The girl loved him, would have
staked her life on life truth, and knew
that he was not beyond his time t hrough
any weakness or wrong.
Too slow, weary hours passed. Mr.
Brand w;fS reading the? commermni
new's ; but for the first time in his life
it did not interest him. He was think
mg of the young clerk, and the heavy
Slim of money that would be in his
possession should the London firm have
him. And Mary, reading her
father’3 countenance, felt chilled and
pained iumesty by the slur cast on her lover’s
by his suspicions; her every
thought was a denial to his doubts, and,
as tiie rapid clatter of a horse’s feet
rang out, she ran to the window.
“Look 1” she said, dashing the. curtain
aside with eager hands ; “look, papa ; I
said he would come—I knew he would.”
The merchant’s stern face relaxed
with a smile of pleasure; he was not
emotional or demonstrative, but his
daughter’s gladness pleased him.
There were a few moments of expec
tancy, and then Tom Lake came in. He
went straight to Mr. Brand, only notic
mg, with a bow. the lovely face whose
glance thrilled his soul.
“They have paid,” he said, quietly, as
be put a thick pocket-book in the mer
chant’s hand ; but 1 think we were only
just in time.”
“Indeed!”
“There was a consultation at the
banker’s before I could get cash for the
check.”
“Do you think they will break ?”
“Hopelessly. They have given me an
immense order, but it would not be wise
to forward the goods. ”
“You (lid not hint that we had tiie
Slightest fear!”
“No, but I was glad to get the money;

morning the odds were considerably
against it ever reaching you.”
“IIow!”
Tom took two Chairs, placed them
side by side near the fire, led Mary to
one, and seated himself in the other,
he had done his duty as the
clerk, and was now Mr. Brand’s pro
spective son-in-law and partner.

clasped her hand in his own. Mr Brand
sat opposite them, interested by the
speaker’s manner, as he began :
“When I got the check I bad an idea
that all might not be well, so to

There was, as I told you, a consultation

consultation was going forward, I

for some petty amount, and was evi
dently astonished by the immensity of
the order 1 had Presented. I left the
bank with my pocket-book full of notes,
and found I had lost the train. The
next would lie the night express, so I
strolled into a billiard-room. There was
some clever playing going on, and I stood
watching the players till some one chal

one special vanity it is my science with

of one, and the other was a stranger.
“The bell rang The guard had just
time to put a bewildered old gentleman
in by my side, arid we were off.
“The man whose face I had not seen
turned towards me
“I could hardly repress an exclaraa
tion. There was no mistaking that
frank, genial countenance, nor the lurk
ing devil in those eyes, whose softness
was so sinister.
“He had me, then, at last. Vixen
had broken his promise, and I was left
to travel that perilous journey alone

skillfully, another who might be his
federate, and an old gentleman who,
after grumbling out his indignation
against all railway servants and loeotno
tive-traveling in the in general, was fast asleep

“That the intentions _ of my billiard
player were bad whs manifested by the
fact of ins having assumed a false
mustache and heard. They added to
the iieauty of his face, but lent to his
eyes that sleepy, cruel glitter that is
characteristic of the Asiatic.
“He spoke to me, remarking the
oddity of our lieing traveling compan
ions, and grew unpleasantly familiar. I
arisw-ered him, not wishing to appear
churlish or afraid, knowing that I could
trust something to my own strength
should the worst come.
“We had made the last stoppage, and
were rolling through the gloom, when
among other topics our conversation
touched on jewelry. He drew a showy
ring from bis finger, telling me it was a
curious piece of workmanship having a

“His confederate scaraelfhreLthe was upon me in an
instant. I could and
could not struggle, for a heavy knee was
upon my ehest and two strong,
bands were crushing the life from mv

“Though the horror of the situation
did not last a minute it seemed an
eternity to me. I Mt the ruffian’s

A Fact.
An editor Is a man who lives tin what
other men owe him, until he starves to
death. A subscriber is a person who takes
a paper and says he Is very much pleased
with It, and tells everybody else that he
ought to "subscribe.” After he has "sub¬
scribed" about seven years, the editor
writes to him and asks him to let him have
$3 80, (three dollars and fifty cents,) and
then the subscriber writes back to the edl
tor and teiis him not to send his old paper
any more, for there is nothing in it and
then the poor editor goes and starves some
more.

of the remains of some unknown man ten
miles south of Ty-Ty, t>v Mr. W. E. Williams.
Vo part iculars accompanied the news. Our
correspondent stated that ‘lie has been dead
so long that his bones were literally scattered
over a quarter of an acre of ground, and
were bleached and whitened by the rain*
and sun.’ Scattered about over a consider,

some clock makers' Implements snd various

The lighting of East Liverpool, Ohio,
with natural ga» from wells has been
often briefly mentioned. Tiie fact is
that the plan has been for many years in
successful operation. The gas comes
continuously and in large quantity from
several deep wells, and is available not
only for light, but for heat. For light
it requires no preparation hut hums
readily witli great illuminating power.
Tiie flames In the street lamps are not
put out in the daytime because that
would cost something, and the gas does
not. Pipes carry the gas into grates
and stoves where It is used for heating
and cooking. The first gas well was
opened twenty years ago and its supply
is not yet in the least diminished.
