some questions to him which he vaguely answered
and then attempted to leave. telling the landlord
that he was going to BiddefOrd. Upon the officer
attempting to arrest him he took to his els, and
though two or three pistol shots were fired at him
II did not stop his progress. The officer being o
much heavier man could not keep up with the
rogue and he would have made bis escape but that
Mr. French threw of his coat. seized the revolver
from the officers hand, and gave chase. The Eel

"RIte Bigger, RIIIy.o

One day gentleman saw two boys going
along one of the streets of a great city.
They were bare-footed. Their clothes were
ragged and dirty, and tied together by
pieces of string. One of the two boys was
perfectly happy over half-withered bunch
of flowers which he had just picked in the
streets.
"I say, Billy" said he to his companion,
"wasn't somebody very good to drop these
ere posies where could find them-and
they are 80 pooty and nicei Lok sharp,
Billy, mebby you'll find somethi q bmeby.'
Presently the gentleman heard the merry
voice again saying, "Ohl jolly, Billy, il
here amt most halt q peach, and tau't much
dirty neither cause you han't found moth
in, you may bite first"
Billy was going to take a very little taste
OF il. when his companion said. Bite

What noble heart that boy had, in spite
of his rags aud dirtl He was " doing
good"
There was nobody for him to be kind to
but his companion in poVerty-the poor
ragged boy at his side. But he was show
him all the kindness in his power wlsn lie
said,- Bite bigger, Billy" There was
nothing greedy. nothing selfish about the

THE LADY AND THE ROBBERS.

In charming village situated truly in a
romantic country, but considerable dis
tance from the high road, was the place
where Baron B usually spent the
summer. His mansion, built on an eminence
was perfectly adapted to his fortune. II
was spacious building, very elegant with.
in and without, and exhibited good style
of architecture. 1t was about two hundred
PAGES from the village
Business obliged the Baron to take o
journey of few days his wife, who was
but twenty years OF age, and very beautiful
remained at home. lie took with him two
of the servants, and two others remained
with the Baroness. No violation of the
public security had ever been heard of in
that part of the country, and as the Baron
ess did not belong to the tmid portion OF
her sex, the idea of danger was far from ell
teriag her mind. The evening after the
BarOn's departure, as she was stepping into
bed, che heard an alarming noise in an
apartment near her chamber She called
out but received no answer The confusion
and screaming increased every moment.
She was at loss to conceive what was the
matter, and hastily putting on her garments,
went to the door to discover the cause. A
horrible spectacle presented itself. Her
two servants, half naked, were extended
liielesss upon the floor
The room was fnll of strange looking men
the Baroness chambermaid was kneeling
before one of them, and instead of the mer.
cy she implored, she received the fatal
stroke. No sooner was the door opened,
than two barbarians, with drawn swords,
rushed towards it.
What woman, or even man, wonld not
have been struck with terror, aud given up
life and everything as lost?
A loud shrek OF despair, fight of few
PAGES would probably have been the first
acts of many. The Baroness. however, con.
Quoted herself in different manner.
"And you have come at last exclaimed
she, in tone of heartfelt joy, and advanc-

that highly astonished them they lowered

she; " such visitors as you have long de.

time, by his brethren of the Golf of having
