A SMUGGLER'S STORY.
An Exciting Chase Through the Public
Streets.

II think l never tried deliberately to break
our laws but once" observed an old citizen,
land then l didn't succeed in doing it."
'Snatched as brand from the burning as it
were," observed the clerk.
mo sir, but saved amid the breaking. as it
were," was the reply, as the old citizen leaned
forward and lit his cigarette at the gas let.
adding as he sat back in his chair and placed
MS 1eet on the counter, 'if you want the story
why you can have it. You see that one dav
met friend of mine, whom will call Frank
wed been Old friends, in fact were school
boys together. We talked long time, and he
told me he was smuggling liquor into the city
ON the sly, and that he was that night to meet
partner of his, who was coming in with n
load of beer, at the Portland bridge, and was
to take part of it and carry it in one direction
While his friend went with the rest in another
and he wanted to know if wouldn't 90 with
him, and blamed if I didn't iump at the
chance You see, thought if 1 saw the in
side working of the system L might find it use
full in the temperance work in days to come"
With this observation the old citizen paused
to give the company time to "smile' and then
proceeded
THAT evening we drove slowly up CONNER
cial street, where we made a halt by the bridge
and sat there long time, till it was past II
o'clock, and had ceased to see where the fun
came in. AT last Frank got tired out and
drove up the street till we got opposite the
Star Match Company's works. when the team
we were expecting drove by. Stop yelled
Frank, out he didn't, but looking back he
howled out something we couldn't catch and
drove on like mad. Hanged if don't think
he's crazy said Frank, and he whipped up
and after him, and if it want an exciting
chase then / am liar.
jim, the man ahead, had the best horse and
not very heavy load, and the way he went
off was lovely. Off we went tearing down
Commercial to Centre street, up Centre to
Fore, along Fore to Pearl, up that to Middle,
along Middle to Hampshire, down that to
Commercial again, along Commercial to India,
UP that to Fore again, and then along Fore
like mad to just about the end of Newbury
street, where the team in front made full
stop and the wagon went to pieces like the
deacon's one horse shay.
Quick as flash Jim got up and out with his
knife to cut the traces, so as to get his horse
out but he hadn't time to do it for Frank rose
up to pull in our horse just as the provoking
beast lit all among the ruins and went down
as quick as though shot, sending Frank over
his head and right on to Jim, who went over
like log
When they got themselves apart and got up
Jim was too surprised to be mad for it seemed
that all along he had thought us two of the
sherifts and had made it race for horse and
self. We got the liquor from the ruins into
our wagon in double quick time and were off,
but I haven't done any smuggling since, and,
in fact, left Frank as soon as he got the
stuff loaded. 1 didn't in reality do anything"

Another Franklin County Mystery

Willie M. Stone of Jay Bridge, young man
II years old, was discovered in the road near
Joshua Lakes, North Jay, Sunday, tumbling
about in a half conscious condition, when he
was taken into Mr.. Lakes house and Dr.
Adams of Wilton summoned, who found him
injured in the side. Enough information was
gathered from him to lead to the finding of his
hat coat and vest on the railroad south Of
North Jay station, where he evidently was in
iured, and nearly two miles from where he
was found. But whether his injuries were by
by accident or assault cannot be ascertained
until he becomes more conscious.

To BE OF PERMANENT BENEFIT a medicine
must reach the source of the disease. The rea-
son why SCovILL's BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP
is so successful in overcoming scrofulous,
syphilitic and eruptive complaints, is that it
entirely roots out those impurities which give
rise to them. The cause of the evil being thus
removed and the normal purity of the circula-
ton restored, the skin resumes its original
clearness and sores and pimples disappear.
