A MYSTERIOUS PACKAGE.
There was a great ado in the Stanwood
home. A package had been delivered
at the door addressed to Mist
Grace Stauwood, had Leen received
by tt^ butler, and the bearer had
gone away without stating who sent
the package. There was nothing on
the wrapper by which the sender
could be Identified. The Sianwoodti
were enormously rich and feared that
some socialist or anarchist had sent
them an infernal machine. Miss
Stanwood looked at the thing?it
i vroicu v/u n luuu: in uiu uruwiug
(room?Btudled the address, but could
not recognize in the writing the banc
of any of her friends.
"I'll take off the wrapper, mum,'
said the butler, who felt somewhal
responsible or having taken th<
package in and letting the messengei
escape.
The butler cut the string, removed
the wrapper carefully so as not to jai
the contents and laid bare n t?-?j

| "Glad to know you," replied Dob,
I bowing formally.
"Some one." remarked Mrs. Stanwood,
"has sent Grace an infernal
machine. I>ord Tally wag suggests
that it may have come from a disappointed
lover."
Something in the tone of Mrs.
Stanwood's voice caused Mr. Otis to
draw himself up stithy. Then he said
coldly:
"Since I am well known to have
long been an admirer of the lady in
question it is incumbent upon me to!
prove my innocence. Where is this !
infernal machine?"
"In the drawing room," Mrs. Stanwood
replied.
Mr. Otis walked into the drawing
room while the others looked on
through open doors.
"You are right," he said to those
g-iping from a distance. "It is indjed
an Infernal machine. I can hear)
ticking. Lord Tallywag, if you will
come here and hold the box to your
, ear you may hear it distinctly."
"Good gracious, man! Do you suppose
I'm an ass?"
"You have seen fit to intimate that
an American gentleman would send
his sweetheart who had discarded
him a bomb. It becomes me as an
American gentleman to relieve Miss 1
Stan wood from an unpleasant sltua- j
tlon. I shall open the box."
i He began to draw the cover. Those
I looking on, headed by Ix>rd Tallywag, 1
, rushed to the rear of the house, some
stopping In the dining room, though
liis lordship did not pause till he had
I gone out at the kitchen door into the
yard. Some minutes passed. Grace
Stanwood went back to the drawing
room and looked through the Open
S door. On the table stood the box. the
cover removed, while Ilob stood with
~ an inner box in his hand?a jeweler's
watch case?regarding a lady's watch
of gold and enamel, set with jewels.

"Sonic one has sent yon a wedding
T , present?" snid Bob.
*v i "Oh. Bob!" she whispered. "I fear-.
i ed you would be blown to pieces. :
? | You're brave as a lion."
! "Where is the man who inlimat'i

' "In the cellar, I expect." She burst
3 into a laugh.
1 | "Lei us go and find him. 1 wish

13 back yard and shown the contents of
t tlie Ikix. Thi n Boh Otis excused hitn|
self from dining witli one who liud
charged liitn with intent io do a cow1

THEY WENT TO CHURCH.
Preferred it to Work Though They
Were "Atheists."
Attendance at church service is obligatory
upon the part of soldiers at ^
certain Knglish posts, and amusing
stories are told of the excuses that arc
sometimes resorted to in order to es- ?cape
this requirement
At one post where a number of recruits
were temporarily stationed an
old sergeant was ordered to ascertain t,
to what religious sect eacu man belonged.
and to see that lie joined the |
party told of for that particular form
of worship. Nj
Some of the men bad no liking lot |
church, and declared themselves to ! |
be atheists. Hut the sergeant was a
Scotsman and a man of experience.
"Ah, weel." he said, "then ye hae
no need to kape holy the Sabbath, and t
the staldes hae no been chined ott !
lately. And lie ordered them to clean ! v
out the staldes. This occupied prac- ^
tically the whole day. uud the men
lost their usual Sunday afternoon's
leave.
Next Sunday a broad smile crept ov- (
er the face of tile sergeant when he i
heard that (lie atheists had joined the
i nurch of Hnghtud. J ^
