'you will oblige me by returning to the
seat you have lately occupied. Your
little scheme of abduction has failed, and
I would inform you that you will be under
guard the remainder of the run. Any at
tempt to escape might be attended with
serious results. l witnessed your vii
lainy from the platform"
The rascals did not reply, but with
logged sullenness dropped into the seat,
and two brakemen, armed with revolvers,
were placed over them.
A physician, who was passenger on the
train, attended to Mr.. Radcliffe and his
daughter, and in due time they recovered
from the effects Of the chlorofOrm.
When Mabel looked upon the blue
eyed man, she recognized Jared Abbott, a
rejected lover. His confederate, Burdock,
she did not know. The man who was
waiting near the station for the abduct-
ing party never fell into the clutches of
the law but it is certain that the princi-
pal and his eager assistant saw the inside
of a penitentiary.
1t was Dick Davis hand that held the
bell rope while Burdock tugged at it, and
his signal that increased the speed Of the
train, thus effectively preventing the vii
lains' escape.
Cyrus Radcliffe proffered Conductor
Dick handsome check for his services !;
but it was refused, and the reward that
he finally accepted was the hand of his
lovely through passenger.

Origin of the Military Salute.

A correspondent of the Army and
Macy Gazette gives the following account
of the origin of the military salute
"Within the last few years, among the
many changes which have been intro.
duced into the army, is that of the salute.
Why the old-time honored salute was
abolished, no one knows; but it is an in
teresting fact, and one probably unknown
to most Of our readers, that the old salute,
which consisted of the hand being brought
into horizontal position over the eye
brows, has very old origin, dating, in fact,
from the commencement of the history of
the English Navy. Its orig gin is found in
the tournaments of the Middle Ages, and
was as follows: After the Queen Of
Beauty was enthroned, the knights who
were to take part in the sports of the
day marched past the dais on which she
sat, and as they passed they shielded
their eyes from the rays of her beauty.
Such was the very interesting origin of
the old salute, and it is a question
worthy the attention of our military au-
thorities, why should not the old salute,
possessing such an origin, and associated
with our army from the very earliest
times, be restored9 1t is difficult to dis
cover to what purpose it was ever abol-
ished. The principal part of the officers
salute, kissing the hilt of the sword, dates
also from the Middle Ages. When the
Crusaders were ON their march to the
Holy City, the knights were in the daily
custom of planting their long two-hapded
swords upright in the ground, thereby
forming cross, and before these they
performed their morning devotions. On
all military occasions they kissed the
hits of their swords in token of their
devotion to the cause of the Cross, and
this custom was perpetuated after the
Crusaders were numbered among the
things of the past, and when the relig-
ious origin of the salute was forgotten.
