rapid rate. The lively gentleman soon
recovered his vivacity, and was espe-
cially facetious on the Quaker's Prov
ess; but the Quaker relapsing into his
usual monosyllables, the conversation
soon tagged
Time sped, and. earlier than we ex.
pected, the coach stopped where We
were to have supper and a change o.
horses. We had deferred redistribu-
ton OF our effects until We should
reach this place, as the dim light OF
the coach lamp would have rendered
the process somewhat difficult before.
1t was now necessary, however, that
1t should be attended 10 at once, as our
jovial companion had previously an
nounced his intention OF leaving us ut
this point. He proposed postpone
ment till after supper, which he offered
to so and order.
Nay" urged the Quaker, with sud-
den abruptness. and laying his hand
on the others arm, Cuisines before
pleasure, and for business there is no
time like the present. Will thee be
good enough to search the prisoner?"
he said to me, still keeping his hand

ticles could be found
He must have gotten rid of them in
the coach, !" suggested the gay gentle
man, and Immediately offered to go
and search.
''Stop!' Numbered the Quaker, tight
ening his grasp
The man turned pale, and struggled
to release his arm. In an instant one
OF the pistols was leveled at his heart.
Stir hand or foot, and your are a
dead mani" said the Quaker, who
must have been awfully excited so to
forget both the language and he prin-
ciples Of his persuasion.
Placing the other pistol in my hand,
| with directions to fire on the first Of
the two men that made a suspicious
movement, the Quaker went to work
on Lothario, from whose pockets, in
less time than it takes to tell it, he
produced every item OF the missing
property, to the utter amazement OF
the ladies, who had begun in no meas
ured terms to demonstrate against the
shameful treatment the gentleman was
receiving
The Quaker, l need scarcely add, was
no Quaker at all, but shrewd detec-
tive, who had been set on the track OF
band of desperadoes, OF whom our
middle-aged friend who didn't look

The robbery had been adroitly plan
ned. Tie leader OF the gang had taken
possession Of seat in the coach, and
after learning, as he supposed, our de-
fenseless condition, had given the sig-
nal to his companions by throwing
out the bit Of paper already mentioned.
After the unexpected capture OF the
first robper, an attempt was made to
save the booty by secretly passing it
to the accomplice, still believed to be-
unsupported, who counted on being
able to make off with il at the next
stopping-place. The result was that

THE Russian Admiral Rossiet, who
accompanied the Grand Duke Alex
lnder in his recent visit to Siberia,
publishes paper in the Dbir, in which
e expresses the opinion chat deporta-
ion to those desolate regions ought to
cease. The journey thither is des-
cribed by the exiled as far more terri
BILE than the work after arrival. The
convicts are mostly employed in gold
washing at the mines Of Ust-Kari. OF
1900, the Admiral found 200 in the
hospital with scurvy, 800 had fed to
try a hopeless escape, and the re-
mainder worked indolently and un-
willingly. All the prisons in Eastern
and Western Siberia were crowded
with captive fugitiyes and accused
persons, who often have to wait years
for their sentence.

The discovery II u boiling lake in
the island Of Dominica, has excited
much scientific interest, and investiga-
tions Of the phenomenon are to be
made by geologists. 1t appears that
a company exploring the steep and
forest-covered mountains behind the
town OF Rosseau came upon this boil
ing lake, about $500 feet above the
sea level, and two miles in circumfer-
ence. On the wind clearing away for
q moment the clouds of sulphurous
steam with which the lake was covered,
q mound Of water was seen ten feet
higher than the general level Of the

This world with al it, power and pride,
Il but . vale Of sorrow.
To-day. perhaps. In pomp We ride
Above ambitions seething tide.
Who knows aught OF tomorrow
A day can call forth many things.
And all does from the future borrow.
To-day may show the power of kings.
But who will prune times neeting wings.
Or say what comes tomorrow
To-day the victor haunts the wreath
And deems the earth too narrow.
Disease. perhaps. may stop the breath.
No hand can stay old time, and death.
Perhaps, twill come tomorrow.
To-day 10 then the given day.
For deaths unerring arrow
May turn the proudest into clay.
And who could for salvation pray.
If death should come tomorrow
Then leave the worldly thoughts ahwile,
'Tis better to possess than borrow.
To-day might free us from all guile,
And Heavens reconciling smile
May give us JOY tomorrow.
