CHAPTER. Ill.

Thus it came about that it was Foster Hough-
ton himself that unloosed his wife's bonds
bending his gray head as he did so, to print {,
kiss of sorrow and sympathy OIL her wrinkied
check, and leaving tear there.
"He has escaped, he said, 'and is on the road
to the station"
sWill he not be overtaken 2"
"I think not. He has fair start, and knows
what is at stake; and the train passes through
before daylight"
Then the woman's heart, which. had borne
her bravely up so far, gave way, and she broke
into terrible sobs; and the husband who would
comfort her was himself overcome by the COM
mon grief, and could not speak word. Silent.
ly they suffered together, pressing hands, until
the entering light of dawn reminded them that
even this day had duties, and perhaps new
phases of sorrow. They could hear the quick
steps of persons evidently full OF eXcltement
over the event of the night, and talking all
together. They could not be left long undis-
turbed. As they dressed, Foster Houghton-
unable or reluctant to describe in any detail the
scene at the bank, as his wife was to ask him
about it-suddenly encountered in his pocket
the watch cntanged in its chain.
@He gave me this, and kiss" he said, every
word a Sob; and Mary Houghton pressed it to
her heart. Then, as quick step sounded on
the porch, she hastily thrust it into drawer.
"What shall we say?" she asked.
"I do not know Heaven will direct us for
the best" he replied.
The step did not pause for ceremony, but
came in and up the stairs as if on some press
ing errand.' Then the door opened, and Harry

DRIED UP THE WRONG MAN.-The follow
ing is related of one of the brethren of a
church not thousand miles from this city, as
having occurred year or two since, but for OBJ
vious reasons not let out of the select circles,
where it has always been great source of fun.
A gentleman who is much gifted in exhorta-
ton, and likes to talk at Sunday School, at
tended an evening meeting. While the bell
was ringing to hasten up the laggards, B. "im-
proved his opportunity" by addressing an elo-
quent exhortation. Thinking the bell had been
ruug long enough, another member said very
imperiously to one of those small boys who are
always around in season and out Of season, "go
and tell that fellow to stop" A small boy
never did understand anything as he was told
to do it, and this particular small boy was not
likely to stultify himself in that manner. In
stead of going to the sexton and silencing
"that dreadful bell," he threaded his way down
the aisle, where B. was warming to his work,
and in loud kissing voice said, "Here, now,
Mr. - says for you to dry up that" Poor
B. blushed brilliant scarlet, cut off an earnest
invocation in the middle of sentence and all
the balance of the evening sulked in solemn
silence. At the close of the meeting he de-
manded of the offending member an explana-
ton, which was satisfactorily given and the
"unpleasantness" amicably settled. -

A SOUTHERN SAMsoN.-There is man liv,
ing in Calhoun county, Miss, who is supposed
the entire South. He is thirty-ive years of
age, and weighs two hundred and twenty-five
pounds. He has been known to carry three
bars of railroad iron, when it takes from three
to five ordinary men to carry one. He can
take cask containing forty gallons of whiskey
or water (the former is preferred, we. presume
and raise it from the ground and drink out OF
the bung hole with as much ease as others could
out of a common pitcher; and he has frequent
ly taken barrel of flour under each arm, and,
balancing sack of salt on his head, carried
them for several hundred yards with apparent
" but little effort He offers to bet that he can
lift |. 300 pounds.

One, two, rang out from the belfry on the
breathless June night, already heavy with the
rising fog from the river. Foster Houghton
found himself broad awake as he counted the
strokes but even while he thought it was the
clock that had disturbed him, he felt cold,
hard ring of steel against his temple, and saw
through the darkness man by his bedside.
