Graham 'would ?not bar? been in tho office at ?ll, only be had some money in ??ie safo and hod received orders by wiro to ?sleep in the station that night He lid not know hov/ much there -was. lt had come in a sealed package, Jocked In a small pouch. Ho knew lt -was pny day on the new branch then building on the 1st, and this was the :31st. j '.Why can't tb*/ 6end n pay car?" .a sk od Giuliani ot L?mHelk'. "Too confounded mean," be mattered. The hours dragged slowly, but Gra ham found some solace In thinking of Miss Delaine. Miss. Delaine was from Chicago. She TY.13 visiting the daugbter of Silas Jones, whom she bad met at school. Miss Jones was tal!, big and strong; Miss Delaine wan dainty. Miss Jones, with the advantage of ber boarding school years, dressed "well; Miss D.elflJnjo. dressed better. Graham had suddenly i felt a peculiar sensation when Miss Delaine got off the local at Naomi He knew that Silas was going to have company. Be bad no idea the company was built more on the fleeting vision plain than any other. ?'M - . *1f Blina don't feed that. girl, up be Will be all out of company," Graham bad said. "She^ almost gone, now.", Graham was a husky fellow and bad been ' at Naomi .two: months when Mles : Delaine appeared. Aa Graham board ed with Silas he hod an opportunity to study ber welt .?Ko more turkey bunts while she's here,'! be grumbled to himself. Miss Delaine took the grumble ont of bira when abe proposed a shoot, and tho three went to the scrubs, and Miss Delaine brought down five to his three ?ind Miss-Jones one. Miss Delaine proved to have more get np. nnd get bi her diminutive body than Graham acknowledged In Ids five feet ten. She could box big Misa Jones All over the barn floor; she could climb ?a cherry tree In a light summer frock and como down os neat aa she went np; she could swim better than Miss Jones and divo as deep na Graham. She could play the most charming wal tees and sing the prettiest song3. She had not been at Naomi' two w^eko before abe waa singingr ta the choir, and Graham made the harrowing dis covery thai ho enes bass. ' So oh this hight Graham consoled himself by thinking gloomy thoughts about M?ss Delaine. 'Td bo a fool to aak>ber and a brot? to espect ber to accept if I did ask." He mMm^^ -Why' bdnl??'rit^^ioefi i Fen was Misa Jono3. . "But, no; eho-ll marry Ilkina, and, if Miss Delaine was poor Td maj^y her.'? Ho know she was rich, Ebo bad of ten spoken about "o,m* railroad.^ jarzws Delaine waa president of the feand B. Disconsolate,: ho smoked hts _ be long? ' \ He had rend last Ounday'a paper a dosen timea 'and gens oS to sL^ep and nearly fallen off the chair which ho had tilted back. Be had left tho door open for air. The night waa wann. , "Hello there, young felter?" carno a voice. Ho turned toward the doo? and rather than yielding. He suddenly ! darted toward his revolver, bnt tho leader vas too quick. Ho bad been expecting that. Tho revolver wea sim ply a lure. He fired, and Graham fell with a bullet In his side. "Now, hang you, If yo;* want a show for 70m* life give ns the combination." Graham was gasping. He waa wait ing for the next shot that would kill i him. j Suddenly there waa a sharp crack tho sm ash I pg of gloss - another-and another. Tho leader was dows, trtta a bullet In his beert, shot through the back. Jim lay writhing near the Baie. Bill had pitched forward and was grasping the sido for support. Then an apparition appeared ot the door. . . A blt of a girl stood there, her face white, a rifle in her hands. She was so small she looked like a child. Graham saw her. "You-yon, Mles Delaine-at half past. 1? How-how" Sbo calmly gazed at the result of her lightning work. ? " "To tell you the truth, I was afraid and came hero to sleep. After you left" -she was examining his wound while she spoke-"Charley Jones came over on horseback and said Mr. Jones' brother was dying. I was out in the orchard, and they could not find me and thought probably I was with you. I returned to the house and could not get in. X bod left my key in the house. I man aged to get a window open and went in that way, bot I was afraid to go to sleep, I could sit np without fear, be cause I always feel safe with my rifle. ?But I was dead tired after the danes last night; ,and I wanted t? sleep. I thought I'd risk tho talk end come beroi It was nearest. I beard tbs shot and knew yon wera In trouble. I. ran and got bore just In time.

Graham dragged himself to tho table, got his call and clicked off the mes sage. At 2 tho express came roaring end rumbling in. " ' "What the mischiefs tho row berat" bawled a heavy voice, and e powerful man in a silk bat and black frock coat stood with month agape while a frac tion of what would make a fair siced girl slid, unconscious, to the floor. ; : "Nan, my girl, here?" said the big mon. "Hero, tell Hawkins to como here." Hawkins wes Mr. Delaine's pri vate secretary end en operator? "Hawkins, get Burns end stay here til! relieved by . a now. man. This men won't come beck.

Vouched (or by the lato Henry Smith, who said he learned the fact through being speaker of tho assembly, there ia an interesting blt of history connected with the old statehouse at Albany, where it has stood for years, tho finest example of pure Doric architecture in thu; country, on the easterly side of Ea gie street, between Pino and Steuben streets, its wuli3 and partitions all of solid stone, very much as if its halls, roomB ond stairs bad bees carved out within a hugo block of marble. It was completed in 1842, costing tho j state about ?330,000. It is built entirely [ of Slug Slug marble, quarried and cut within tho prison walls. The old capitol hoing inadequate to accommodate tho increasing business of tho state, this additional building was planned and built and 1B still used for the offices of tho state comptroller, tho B tato engineer and surveyor and the state banking department. In a spirit of economy it was decided to have aa much aa possible of the work done by tho prisoners from the material round within the prison walis at Sing Bing,-fairly good'material, too, but not the best, as it lo a soft marble^ as evidenced by the wear which now shows so plainly tn the steps and by the crumbling of some of the stones from exposure to the weather. All the mate rial was cut to completion within the walls of the prisca under such plans that when shipped to Albany there wouK?. be no further work necessary except practically to lay one stone up on another, and so on until the whole was assembled In the completed build ing. To accomplish this detailed plan a system of marking the stones was nec essary. The plans were carefully made and a system of marking elaborately laid out by the architect in charge, who found in the prison nt Sing Sing a life prisoner whose record showed him to be an engineer of the highest ability and who seemed as competent as any man In the country to carry out the work to be done In the prlcon, and nat urally he was not unwilling to follow his chosen profession in preference to doing the manual labor of cutting or quarrying stone. So, following tho spirit of economy referred to above, the plans In detail ?ind the system of mark ing were turned over to bim and tho whole work at that-end given over to bis full superintendence end absolute control. j In due time the stones la their vari - one shapes oed sises and In quantity for the whole building were delivered In Albany and the werie of construct finn wmmcnAftj Ir. ?j^gfgjj|;?f W'^k thO ?lana and system of marking origins h r furnished, With, the very first stone there was ?rouble. .It pot only did not flt tho placo, but none of the stones marked to adjoin it fitted Ii, and, fori thor, it did not seem eyer intended for tho placo the number indicated.

Ia reply to the question In what en gagements ho considered himself to have been in tho greatest danger of losing hus Ufo Napoleon once said, "La the commencement of my campaigns." Indeed, If further proof were demanded to show that he did not spare himself at Toulon it ls only necessary to add that during tho ten weeks of Ita siege Napoleon, In addition to a bayonet wound in his thigh, had three horses shot under him, while at the Blego of Acre during the expedition to Egypt ho lost no fewer than four in the samo manner. Duriug the last days of his life, when captivity, disappointment and sickness bad well nigh completed their work. It Ja auld that tho agony of his fatal dis ease drew from him on many occasions ibo pitiful cry of, "Wb.y dM tho cannas bells spare moV During his long military career Napo leon fought sixty battles, whilo Caesar fought but fifty.. In tho early part of his career ho was utterly reckless of danger while on tho battlefield, and this spirit of fearlessness contributed large ly to tho love and esteem In which ho was held by his armies. There was a curious belief among the English in Na poleon's time that he had never been wounded, and indeed the report waa current that he carefully If not In a cowardly manner refrained from ex posing himself. Nothing could be more contrary to the truth, for he wee In re* all ty several times severely wounded, but as he wished to impress upon his troops the belief that good fortune nev er deserted hun and that, like Achilles, he was well nigh Invulnerable, be al ways made a secret of his many dan gers. HG therefore enjoined once for all upon the part of bis immediate staff the most absolute silence regarding all circumstances of thia nature, for lt la almost Impossible to calculate the con fusion and disorder which would have resulted f rora the slightest report or the smallest doubt relative to bia existence. Upon the single thread of thia man's life depended not only the fate and gov ernment of a great empire, but the ! whole policy and destiny of Europa as well. NATAL AUTOGRAPHS.
