pwHSftb-uitifnl, bright, spring

aD d we enjoy very much to be cut
and taking in the sights. though this
city does not contain many. Being
the principle seaport of France we
faeie see vessels at all kinds and from
every country, mi Ito we people
who have been raised in the moun
tains a seaport alway sis attracive.
Here, getting aboard a little
steamer, we were soon at Chateau
dlf, on a little rocky island of the
same name. This castle, celebrated
by Dumas in his ‘Monte Cristo, was
built in 1529 and used as a state
prison, in each room or 1 ungeon is n

in one of these rooms ‘‘The Man with

We have noticed in several of
the very old towns, in the middle
of some square, what we took to be
fountains of some kind. They were
built of stone about three feet high
and from ten to twenty feet square.
The tops were about two feet wide
and several inches higher ou the

This is the public wash place and
we saw around one of these places ;
twelve or fifteen women washing !

saw no boards used. Five minutes
walk and we were down on the

clear waters of the Mediterranean,
we were at Nice.

THE HUSTLER OF ROME, SUNDAY OCTOBER, 14- 1894.
STRANGELY SAVED.
A Dramatic Prevention of Assas
sination in a Gambling Hell
A crowd of people witnessed a
singular scene here the other night
sn which a man’s life was saved
atier as novel a fashion as ever any
writer ol fiction hasevolved Rafe
I
Suufier, a well known sporting
man, was seated m a gambling sa
iooii talking to a friend, who had
only lately come here from the
East. Shaffer was telling his cem
pauion of a quarrel that he had
with another man about town,
whom he suspected of being about
to make an attempt on his life.
As he was speaking the Eastern
man suddenly interrupted, him
with a question .
“Say Shsffer, do you remember
your old business as a telegraph
operator?’’
Shaffer, who it seems, had fol
lowed this trade before going West,
looked surprised, but answered
that he did.
“Weil, you kuow it’s a very
* asy thing forgotten . Now I will
bvt you can’t tell me what I am
going to lick out here ou this ta
ble.”
The Eastern man then took a
pencil from his pocket and began
to tick off a message, which, as he
finished, caused Shaffer to spring
hastily from his seat, drawing as
he did so a revolver from his
pocket, which he thrust almost in
the face of a man who had been
standing in the door of a saloon,
and who had just covered him
with his pistol. The two men
glared at each other, and Shaffer
said candy :
“Better put up that weapon,
Smith, unless you want to eheot it
out with me here. I have got the
drop ou you as much as you on
me. ”
Smith hesitated, aud then re
plied that tie would put up his pis.
lol’if Shaffer would, and consent
ed to leave the question between
them the arbitration of mutual
friends, Shaffer agreed to the arbi
tration plan, as it seems both man
had their reasons for not letting
their cause of the bad blood be
tween them be known to the pub
ii<. Smith thanked his quick-wit
ed friend for the sevice he render
ed him. The message of the East
ern man rapped out as follows:
“If your enemy is a daik-com
plexioned man with a hooked nose
and a scar ou the left cheek he has
just entered the saloon, and has
nis hand on hi 8 pistol pocket, It
you tear treachery from him move
q lickly or b.e’H have the drop on
you. 1 am unarmed, so that I can
not draw tor you. Draw now, as he
has his pistol out, aud, unless you
are as quick as lightning, he wi“l
have you. ”
Shaffer’s keen ear caught the
words, and he acted at ence on
them, as has been shown. His
wheeling so suddenly about on
Smith took that gentleman so by
surprise that he was compelled to
back down. —Philadelphia Times,
