That particular solicitor, Benjamin Tim an..-Joe rh?do a nore of thc name "nd rc^is teaed a resolution not to j" >r_re: it-?pd conducted his cuso i .. j th a zeal tlint seemed to border on j ...nirr.us; otherwise Mr. Rcnshaw'B : .... |;ir.:itic:i as to his presence on in- | losed promises at midnight might I have been accepted. ! Al/. Timpany heard the words, j Ha gav.' thc glance that ^companied j them. It was not a reassuring fiance. Ii ono met it by the light of ., bullseye at midnight-ugh I Mr. Timpany shuddered. '.Cleverest cracksman going, Joe!" paid thc sergeant in a tone almost of admiration. 'Electric bells and all that eort of thing don't bother him ?, bit. Ito can get through an iron Quitter as if it was brown paper." Mr. Thnpany's state of mind be came less complacent than ever. Ile had done his duty to his client in in juring this desperado's conviction, but he began to wonder whether a man could not do his duty too well. lie began to think hew exposed lii> house was, how lov> the back ??arden wall, how close the balconies to the ground, how rusty the front door chain and how insecure the window fastenings. There was, how over, one consolation, he had six months' start of Mr. Bonshaw. Mr. Timpany's politeness to the policeman whose beat embraced his liou.se and who had once been seen kissing his housemaid was surpris ing, having regard to the indigna tion lie had evinced when some time previously he had been informed of the housemaid incident. The six months of his incarcera tion did not speed quite so quickly for Joe Benshaw as for Mr. Tim pany. Joe was averse to labor of any kind, more especially to the hard variety. He had, however, ample time and opportunity for medita tion on what ne considered the vin dictive wickedness of Mr. Timpany and the means for its requital. Artist as ho was in his own Ene, in thc operation contemplated he meant to excel himself. He would not hurry over it. He would bide his time. Everything comes, he re flected,, to the man who waits. He would wait on Timpany. At last came the hour when ho stepped forth a free mom-anyway for a time He began to look about for occupation, not work. He had had six months at that, and if he had cared for honest work outside prison walls it would have been dif ficult to find. One, two, three months since the expiration of Benshaw's sentence had expired, and Mr. Timpany be gan to imagine that he had forgot ten his promise and to sleep soundly of nights. He even ventured occa sionally to bring home valuable doc uments of title and securities in his black bag and to once moro believe in the truth of the adage that an Englishman's house is his castle. But one night while Mr. Timpany was wrapped in gentle sleep ana his pajamas a thin streak of white light glimmered for an instant along his back garden. Bendigo, who " slept with one eye open, fancied ho caught -a glimpse of something that ought not to b% there and emitted.'a deep warning growl. Much to ms surprise, as if by magic, a savory piece of horseflesh, just sufficiently underdone to suit the palate of so dainty a canine epi cure, fell within a yard of his nose. With a snorting growl that was his usual expression of delight the g rose J nd sniffed it. Then ho licked it, and it tasted; even moro savory than it smelled. ^ Bendigo bolted it and, seeing no morsels lying about, turned to re gain his kennel, but ere he could reach it his limbs stiffened, and he lolled over without a groan stone dead. A few minutes later a marvelous centerbit w.? running its way si lently but surely through Mr. Tim pany's iron shutters. Before long the shutter had been quietly pusheC open, replaced, and Joe Kenshaw was seated in the breakfast room, around which his bullseyo.flasbAwas .moving. The disk of .light rested.a moment, on a smallcabinet, the lock-of '.which ?Mr. Bonshaw" leisurely proceeded?to neatly pick. "Tradesmen^ bilis**' be granted, all receipted. Wot a sp<m3?hrift the chap. must be ?iaatfiir: away^his money in pajdn* accoudisl Some ' f?lKs iK$verTa?Dwt.fo^^ ey. He-earoe^easiei^ji^ Then, his list shoes making not the? slightest sound, he crept into a ^m which .served Mr. Timpany for uBrinchof Jhome office. "This is better,*' chuckled the burglar, espying a safe in the cor der, and; once again the centcrbit was called into operation. But it ^ttJwigh job, and file and crow bar ^a&to^bo rbr?ught intoplay^and J?". I^mohawiB brow was mo&t^be ?0Te *he??o<>r ?ebowe4 the alightest ?^rof^elding. "IT i liad Hie man as made this here?" he growled, "he'd never make no more. The idea o' folks 'avin' awkwr.nl furniture like this in their 'ouscs! It's only out o' aggeravation to give folks unnecessary trouble over their work." But at last the hinges gave way to the brutal but silent attacks of tho jimmy where the lile had bitten and gnawed, and Joe, quickly forcing the inner drawers, turned his bulls eye on thc contents. "Well!" he said, and then he swore. "Arter all, nothin' but a pile o' dirty parchment not worth a crown !" And he angrily turned over the bundles of deeds, which repre sented tens of thousands of pounds. But as the last drawer slid open a I chuckle*- escaped him. There lay a | bundle of crisp Bank ol" England notes which Mr. Timpany had re ceived on thc completion of a con veyancing mailor after office hours on behalf of his client too lato to pay into the bank. Stufling Hie notes into his pocket, he gathered up his tools and pre pared to depart. To his groat joy he saw upon the table a bottle of port wine and a tumbler. "Oh, ain't 'c kind," he solilo quized, "to perwide refreshment as well as amusement? Ile might 'a' left it in a tureen, an' really I don't like drinkin' port out o' a tumbler. Beckon ho's too thirsty for wine glasses an' mops it up here on the Q. T." And, taking up the bottle, Mr. Benshaw placed it to his lips and drank and drank until he had drained it to the dregs. Beplacing the bottle on the table, he picked up his tools. He was a bit tired after his exertions, though he had not felt it so unmistakably as now. Ile slid into a chair to rest for a moment. He felt quite sleepy. If there had been more than half a bottle of port, he would have fan cied he was drunk. "This won't do," he muttered. ?I must get back to tho pony trap. Wasser matter, so sleepy-eep-eepy! Ahoo !" And he yawned loudly. He essayed to rise, but could noL For ? moment he felt a thrill of fright, but it died away in a deep and drowning slumber. His arms sank upon the table and his head between them. And there five hours later Mr. Timpany, trotting down in his dressing gown, found him. For a momentfhe started) then.he said: "My.friend's a man of his word. I thought- he was, though I began to give him up. So the-glass bottles on the wall, the bulldog, the electric bells and the iron shutters all failed me. But my own idea,-the drugged bottle of wine which I've left in ??& room ever since this gentleman's last sentence expired-has done its work admirably. ' And then Mr. Timpany trotted upstairs for that patent alarm whis tle and woke up all the sleepers in the locality except-the burglar, .who slept on for several hours more and awoke to find himself seated on a hard deal board in a police station cell. He is now commencing a term of twelve years' penal servitude, and his constant reflection is that it's all through doing business with law yers." _ Kruger and the Uitlartdere. During thc agitation at Johan nesburg among the uitlanders who sought burgher rights for them selves President Kruger thus ex plained his philosophy of it to Sir Henry Loch : "Sir Henry, these peo ple remind me of a baboon I once had which was so fond of me that he would not let any ono touch me. But one day we were sitting round the fire, and unfortunately tho beast's tail got caught in the fire. He now flew at me furiously, think ing that I was the causo of his acci dent. The Johannesburgers aro just like that. They have burned their fingers in speculations, and now they want to revenge themselves on Paul Kruger." Sweetheart Abbey. There is in Gallo WP y, Scotland, an ancient ruin known as Sweet heart abbey. Within its ivy covered, storm battered walls lies buried tho affectionate and devoted Dervorgill, with the heart of her husband, John Baliol, embalmed upon uer breast. Lovely in their lives, in death they are not divided. The crumbling masonry is still and must ever bo a romance in its symbols of death and decay, telling every day, as it has for 600 years, the thrilling story of a woman's tender love and devo tion.

A STRICT DOORKEEPER. Amusing Experience With a Chinese Man of All Work. When the Andersons went .to?Cal ifornia, they rented a small fur nished house and engaged-n Chinese man of all work. The iicuso was wwii situated and taftcfully " furnished, and Wing Loe proved to bo a good cook, clean and respectful. As soon as thc Andersons were settled tho neighbors began to cali, and it was then that tho fact'was discovered that Wing wu? absolute ly devoid of any ideas as io the-ush ering in or out of guests. So one morning the ladies deter mined to instruct bim. Providing him with a tray, Mr.ss Anderdon went out, rang the bell, was shown into the parlor and waited while the calm Chinaman carried her card to Mrs. Anderson. This was repeated several times until tlie ladies were quite satislied that Wing was pcrfcct-m his?roie That evening at 8:30 tho ' belL rai r Wing shuflled majestically to the door, while mother and daugh ter hung breathlessly over thorbanis ters to watch the result of their teaching. They heard a gentleman's voice ask if the ladies wcro atib?me. They saw Wing present his tray and. re ceive a card with an air*which'.made them mentally pat each.other'on the back, and then they saw'him-draw a card from his sleeve. 'Hine!" gasped iiiss Anderson. "Tho one we used for the lessons!" Wing compared'tho two carofully, and, returning the ono which" the caller had just handed him, ho*re marked blandly: "Tickec no good.

A LEGEND OF THE FLOOD. Tiw Tradition Handed Down by the British Columbia Indiano. All the northern const Indians, says a British Columbia correspond ent, have a tradition of a flood which destroyed un mankind except a pair from which tho earth was again peopled. Each tribe gives the story a local coloring, but the plot of tlie legend i* much the samo. The Bella' Coola tradition is as fol lows : The creator of thc universe, Mes mes-sa-la-nik, had great diillculty in the arrangement of tho land and water. The earth persisted in sink ing out of sight At last ho hit upon a plan which worked very well. Taking a long lino of twisted walrus hide, he tied it around thu dry land and fastened the other end to the corner of tho -moon. Everything work":l ?ell for a long timo, but ax last tin! spirit became very much offended at tho action of mankind and in a lit of anger om< day seized his great stone knife and with a mighty hack severed the rope of twisted skin. Immediately the land bogan to sink into thc sea. Tho angry waves rushed in torrents up the valleys, and in a short time nothing was visible except tho peak of a very high mountain. All mankind perished in the whelming waters with the exception of two, a man and his wife, who were out fishing in a big canoe. These two succeeded in roaching tho top of thc mountain and proceeded to make themselves nt home. Hero they remained for some time until the anger of Mcs-mes-sa-la-nik cool ed, which resulted in his fishing up the severed thong and again fasten ing it to the moon. From this pair thus saved tho earth was again pop ulated. Convinced Him. Mr. Pinchpenny stopped aboard the car at Fou.th street and paid his fare, but thc conductor, who was very busy, forgot that he had received tho nickel and at Seventh street held out his hand. "Fare," he said. "I paid you half a mile back," protested Mr. Pinchpenny. "I think not," rejoined tho con ductor. "I sav I did." "I say you didn't." Mr. Pinchpenny hesitated a mo ment and then said, with the air of an injured citizen : "Don't you rec'lect a man that got on about five minutes ago and held on to his nickel as ii ho didn't want to give it up and you almost had to pry it out of his hand ?" "Yes." "Well, that was me." "I remember you now," said tho conductor, passing on with a grin. Youth's Companion. A Victim of Ove. confidence. "Mr. Billus," demanded his wife freezingly, "what is the meaning of that long, brown hair on your coat i collar?" "It means, madam," retorted Mr. Billus, "that I'm a chuckle headed jay of the jayest sort. I'm a chump from Chumpton. That's what it means, Maria." "Explain yourself, sir." "One of the fellows at the office put that hair on my collar not an hour ago and said I didn't dare to let it stay there. I said I did dare to. I 6aid you were a woman of too much sense to notice such a little thing. I told him you wouldn't even sec it. He offered to bet mo a dollar you would, and I took him up, Maria!" snorted Mr. Billus. "I took him up, and you've lost mo a dollar!" How to Measure a River. Anybody can measure approxi mately the breadth of a river with out a surveyor's compass or any me chanical means whatever. The man who desires to make tho experiment should place himself at the edge of the stream, then stand perfectly still, face thc opposite bank and lower the brim of his hav until it just cuts thc opposite bank. Then let him put both hands under Iiis chin to steady his head and turn slowly 'round until the hat brim cuts some point on tho level ground behind him. Mark the spot where the hat brim cuto tho ground, then paco off the distance, and it will be found about the breadth of thc river. Quite Homelike. A little boy was taken by his par ents to a theater to witness the per formance of a domestic comedy, during ono of tho acts of which an altercation takes placo between tho supposed man ana ?vife. Having arrived home, his mother asked him to tell the guest how he liked tho play. "I liked it very well,** lisped tho child, looking up at his motlier. "But why did that lady and gentle man quarrel in the presence of so many people? When you and papa quarrel, you always shut all the doors and windows so that no ono can hear you." - January 19 bein& Lee's birthday and. a legal holiday the Legislature will not be in session.
