"It Is extraordinary," said a book oot
lector the other day, "the value some people
attach to old books simply because they

ire Varied Career of the DLstingrulahed
,j,j Courtier and Adventurer.
Raleigh's day of days was at the sack of
Cadiz in 1696. It was Raleigh who overbore
tho timid counsels of Lord Thomas
Howard, crying out to Lord Essex: "EnI
tramos! Entramos!" a permission so aolif
ceptable to the gallant young earl that he
hg threw his hat into the sea for sheer joy.
w Then Raleigh betook him to his ship and
* led the van under the batteries and right
k'~ Into the harbor. When his vessel, shattered
by 6hot, was on the point of sinking,
he left it to enter .Essex's ship, and,
though wounded severely by a splinter,
el had himself carried on shore and lifted on
jj?, to a horse to charge with Essex against
j d the Spanish army. Of the sea fight Halert
luyt says:
""What manner of flght this was and
with what courage performed and with
what feiTor to the beholder continued,
e, where so many thundering tearing peecea
ed were for so long a timo discharged, I leave
' it to the Reader to thinke and imagine."
Of the charge on shore he tells us: "The
n time of the day was very hot and faint,
ol and the way was all of dry doepe 6lyding
"! sand In a manner, and beside that, vert
af uneven. But tho most famous Eaxle, with
his valiant troopes, rather running in
deede in good order, then marching, haa1^.
tened on them with each unspeakable oourage
and celerity, as within one houree
^ space and lesse the horsemen were all dlss
comforted and put to flight, their leader
<r> being strooken downo at the very first enbf
counter, whereat the footmen, being wonle.
dcrfully dismayed and astonished at the
unexpected manner of the Englishmen'!
kinde of nuch fierce and resolute flght, retyred
thdmselves with all speed possible
that they could."
BWe know the story of Sir Walter Raleigh
but too well?his cruel imprisonment, his
cfovQ cruel liberation to save his life by
accomplishing the Impossible and his
most cruel execution on a warrant signed
J) 15 years earlier. He knew all that Is to
b, be known of success and failure, of court*
'k and treachery, of 6ea fights and assault*
on cities, of treasure islands and tempest*
and long marches in tangled forests.?

The Smart Verger.
The church possessed a valuable Bible,
which was only used on Sundays, eays a
writer in The Comhill Magazine, speak*
Lng of an English country parish. During
the week it was kept in a box which rather
ouriously formed the stand upon which
the reader of the lessons stood. On on#
occasion, \^hen this was being shown to a
visitor, the remark was made that it did
not seem very reverent for even a clergyman
to tread upon the Bible. "Pardon
me," the old verger replied. "In thlj

A Barrel of Flonr.
A barrel of flour will make nearly double
its weight in bread. Flour rapidly deteriorates
with age unless kept dry. II
absorbs moisture, and this moisture im?
pairs the gluten which is indispensable to
j the lightness of the bread. Besides, it
changes some of the starch into sugar and
? gummy matter known as dextrin, and
, this makes the bread heavy and sodden.

SAVED HER LOVER.
.Tules Souvestro was soon to marry Mile.
, Ladounor, 0110 of the most beautiful and
,! refined glrl9 in Lyons. One night at a
cafe chantant be rebuked Achilla Jfimaux,
, (v professional duelist, for Interrupting a
singer and publicly derided him as.a cad
1 and a reviler of ladies. A duel wai ln1
stantly arranged to tako place next mornlng.
! Mile. Ladouner was In the theater with
ler undo and witnessed the incident.
'Jules, whom she loved with her whole
heart and soul, would bo a corpse before
another day had passed! That was the
I one thought that filled her brain, and for
: a time In her distress and agony she was
almost demented. But by degrees she
forced herself to be calm. At whatever
! cost hor lover must be 6aved. Half an
hour before midnight, when her mother
had retired, she quietly stole out and made
her way as furtively as a thief to Emau'fl
residence.

ed to wait. It was nearly 1 o'clock when
the bravo came In, humming a funeral
) march, aa was his custom on the eve of a
duel.
"Good evening, mademoiselle," he said 11
as sho roso on his entrance. "This is an |
unexpected pleasure, though I regret to
say I do not recognize you, and my man 1
did not catch your name. Pray be seated,
mademoiselle, and tell mo what I can do ,
for you."
Sho obey '. and ho seated himself opposite
her. buo was trembling and quivering,
and''her throat was so dry that she ]
i could scarcely speak. But at the eight of '
him sitting there, gay, careless and smll- '
lng, and yet to be in a fe\? hours the
butcher of her beloved, a tempest of paa- '
slon shook her, and her tongue was loosed, i
"Monsieur," she cried, rising again,
"you are Infamous, a beast?nay, chat is
an insult to the poor beasts! I loathe you I I
You defile the earth 1 Pah I you smell
of blood! Even a beast Is merciful at 1
times, but you?you?you"? f I
Emaux was utterly taken by surprise,
but he still preserved an unruffled front.
'Mademoiselle," ho said, ''you are very I
good to come at this hour to pay me compliments.
What have I done to deserve
them?" 1
"Done!" she cried. "What are you
about to do, bound? Jules Souvestre la my
betrothed, and you insult and intend to
murder him. It shall not be, I say. See,
I will fight you in his stead. Qet pistols,
and wo will stand on either side the room.
I have insulted you. I insult you again.
You are viler than any living creature.
Como!" <
A steely glitter came in his eyes, but ho
still smiled.
"I am truly sorry for you, mademoiselle.
But that dog insulted me publioly, and? <
well, wo fight at dawn."
"Insulted you? He could not, monsieur. ,
But you shall fight me. Get pistols at
once, if you are not a coward." i ,
Ho still smiled. '
"I do not fight women, mademoiselle?I 3
love them. I am truly sorry, but unless
you can persuade him to an apology as
public as the insult there is nothing more
to bo said. It is late, mademoiselle. I
will see you out.""You
shall fight me, ruffian!"
He shook his head, with an amused
smila "Mademoiselle's best W6apon is
her tongue, and that fortunately does not
kill." 1

"Do you mean to kill him, monsieur?"
"Yes," he Bald curtly.
Sbo fell back into the obair with a ,
strangled cry, horror in her eyes. For a
moment 6be sat thus, then she flung herself
on her knees at his feet.
'Monsieur," she cried, "have pity,
have pity I I love him. Monsieur, you .
will kill both of us! Pity, pity I" she '
gaBixjd.
"Riso, mademolsollo, I bog of you," he
said. "You have just told mo I have no .
pity." .
"Have you no heart, monsieur?" the
moaned.
"None when a man has publicly insult ]
ed me. And," ho wont on in a cynical
tone, "who knows but I may do mademoiselle
a favor. Mon swear their vows .
as lovers, but they soon forget them. I
may possibly cave mademoiselle from a
llfo of misery."
She flushed in momentary heat at that
"You do not know him," she cried.
"His lovo is as great as the 6ea. Can you
exhaust the 6oa? Has your heart never
known love, monsieur?"
Ho frowned. It recalled a tlrao ten
years before.
"Ah, I soo it has!" she said quiokly.
"By that love, monsieur, have pity. You
&hall have my gratitudo and prayers every
day. As long as I livo I shall remember
you and ask mercy for you, even as you
had mercy on me."
Ho did not answer, but gazed on her
beautiful, pleading face. It waa a girl a
little younger than this ono and quite as
beautiful who had died ten years ago, and
all good inlluenccs baa aiea witn ner.
"You have overcome, mademoiselle," he
said. "He shall live for your sake."
"You will spare him?"
"Bo comforted, mademoiselle. I meant
to kill him, but ho shall live. We shall
fight at dawn, but he shall not die. Come,
madomoiselle, it is time you were gone.
Shall I see you safely home?"
"No, no," she cried as ho led her to the
door. "You will keep your oath, monsieur?you
will not forget?"
"No, mademoiselle, and you will not
forget your prayers?" he said, with a little
laugh. "If you aro right, I need them.
Good night and fear nothing."
But 6ho did fear. When she reaobed
home, it seemed to her almost Impossible
to believe that a man with such a ruthless
roputation wruld forbear to kill the man
who had insulted him.
She went to bod, but she could not rest
and soon got up again and toward 5
o'clock stole toward the spot where the
duel would take place.
From behind a shrubbery, In what state
of mind may bo imagined, she saw both
parties arrive on the field, she saw the
formalities goae through, but she lost consciousness
for a minute when they stood
pistol in band facing one another.
When she recovered and could raise her
eyes, tho doctor was binding up the arm of
her lover. Emaux's bullet had inflicted a
superficial flesh wound, and Emaux was
apologizing to his friends. He had been
drinkiug too much wine, he said.
Not till years afterward did Julea know
what his wife had done for him. Neve*
again was Emaux known to show a scintilla
of pity in his terrible profession.
Nevertheless ono woman prayed for him

THE HUMAN LOCOMOTIVE.
> A certain man, because ho
r was so strong and hearty, imI
agined he was a locomotive.
I There was, he thought, no limit
I to his vitality.
I .Be regarded .his stomach as
< the firebox. All he had to do
' Was to keep the firebox fall.
1 He followed the Mississippi
teamboat plan, and crowded
1 every old thing into his stomach.
' One day when he was palling
a heavy load the firebox didn't
* barn right, so the Human Locomotive
stopped to investigate.
1 He found the flues choked,
the firebox full of clinkers, and
' to stuffed with fuel that it
couldn't even show a red glimmer.
i Somebody told him io keep a
t clean fire with a good draught,
and feed it regularly, with only
E a certain quantity at a time.
He was further advised to
! . use Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
lor the purpose of putting himi
self in first-class shape.
He did as he was told, and
' was soon able to pull and haul
at well as ever. Besides ho
puffed less under a heavy load.
Rcxall Dyspepsia Tablets
are absolutely guaranteed to
cure all thedlstresslng forms
of Dyspepsia and Indigestion,
