One night, as the tage, loaded with passengers. had gamed the drearlest part of the pass,tio hgres sto d,.ad the driver was heard to exclaim, ''Great God!"* "What's -the. matter?" demanded the superintendent of the road,who happened to be in the coach. -'Just come here!'1. the driver said.

"Money!" came in a vo'lIfkea Sistf led cry. Every one left the nachi and edged * along the walls to get a yvfew of th9 terrible something in fronit. From the middleo of the road arose an enormous arm, with the sleeve ttarried up. At. the end of the arm, in the most-natural way possible, was a large hand, pale and wvith a subdued g~ w; ' ngera o' the hand closed irnd' n - rcle7 and from the hand cate 'the rehrlek.

The poor fellow yelled andl begged his companions to come to his assistance, butip~ralyzed-by fear, they stood, seem lungly ianable to mnove.

The peculiarity ofk this style lies in the absence of !sglnAidAs the presence of a best maii and subatitu tion of ushers for groomsmen. Tile best man foliows the- groom from the vestry and holds the,groom's hat during tWe ceremony. But, after all, this does not seem to be the genuine Eng lish style. It is rather a sort of comn promise for mild Aiglo-maniaes between the British and Lie Amer.can method. The true, through and through English style requires, be sides a best man and ushers, that the bride shall walk up the aisle ungloyed, holding a. family prayer. book. As the Anglo-maniac is an Imitation, an imitation prayer-Dook will do for iadies whose fanilies don't use aprayer book. Aii inovation in weddings which has, however, nothing especial tQ do wan the JImnglish or Amnerican style, is to strew tie middle aisle of tub ciurch with autumn leaves.

Vanderbilt was urging his best pair round the course, for the first r time since lie was overturn -d in the sport by a collision.
