He quietly handed over his pocket-book and Watch, and when asked if he had any other valuables said, *l Nay." A Quaker's word is good, oveu among thieves; so. after a hasty ' good night," the 'robber thrust his pistol iuto his pocket, and with his two companions, one of whom had held the reins of tho leaders, was about departing.

The robber ut the opposite window, aud the ono at the leaders' heads, thought it a gocd time to leave. ??Now, get in, Iriend," anid the Quaker, still covering his man, ''an 1 take ihu middle seat ; but fir*?t deliver up thy pistol." The other hesitated. "Thee had better not delay; i feel the spirit begin to move my right fore finger.

You will march upon their garrison with equal step. When sufficiently near their p ?st you will fire upon them*' The Prus sians will reply. You continue to ad vance and fire.
