Two Couples and Two Buggies.

On last Wednesday night two bug
gies stopped at the Putnam House,
in Fourth avenue, and two gentlemen
jumped out almost simultaneously
and went into the hotel, leaving two
ladies in their respective buggies.
One of the men came out in advance
of the other, and by the uncertain light
thrown from the hotel was led aside
from the actual fact in the little mat
tor of getting into the right buggy.
In word, Mr.. j. got in with Mrs.
F., who were as totally unknown to-
each other so far as acquaintance
ship is concerned, as if one had died
ten years ago in Africa, and the other
hadn't been born. AS married men
of ZEN do, Mr.. J. drove some distance
before speaking. Finally he remark
ed:
''I've got corn on my toe'-the
one you persist in putting your foot
on, too-that hurts about as bad as
the common run of things generally
do"
The lady was very much surprised,
and rather haughtily replied:
"You've been trying to pick quar-
rel with me all day, and now to make
the matter more exasperating, you
change your voice to an unnatural
growl."
"It's you, madame, who have
changed. My voice is natural. I am
not trying to assume anything.
You screech like an old gate"
"You are an old fool!"
"Give my teeth here; you shan't
wear them another minute"
"Teeth-teeth!" What-what in
the world do you mean"'
But just then driving through 3
food of light, the parties recognized
that they didn't recognize.
MADAM" said Mr.. j., stopping
the horse and Strengthening himself
up, 81 hope you will excuse me, but
1 would like to know how you came
in my buggy, and furthermore I'd
like little intelligence as regards
the whereabouts of my wife. What
have you done with her?''
"I don't know what you mean, sir.
Get out of my buggy"
"Your buggy! Why, madam, you
are beside yourself. +"
"Yes, and beside yourself, which
fact I deplore to such an extent that
will be forced to call the police.
s'Police-police!'' was shouted
Justify, and when Officer Daily went
to the spot, the woman insisted upon
the mans arrest.
The buggy was driven back to the
Putnam House just in time to meet
another buggy, the occupants of
which had had similar experience.

it.
This man, who was alive after the
accident which the paper said caused
the death of Van Scooter and Griggs,
and who had made arrangements for
transportation of their remains, and
now here in this coffin to all appear
ances dead! Then / remembered
that the dead stranger said that his
deceased brother resembled him very
closely. But two brothers are not
apt to have red eyes! Such coin
cidence as this was beyond the pale
of probability.
While 1 gazed at the corpse the
other eye unopened little, and L
was sure there was fraud here, but to
show that dad discovered it might
cost me my life. So I very quickly
replaced the lid of the coffin and took
a moments time to think the matter
over.
I remembered my conversation
with the express agent, which we
feared had been overheard by the
clerical-looking stranger, and could
only come to the conclusion that the
whole thing was deliberate plan to
murder me and gain possession of
the $4,000 in my charge. There
was no denying that the man with
the red eye was alive, and l had ne
doubt the other man was also. Kneel-
ing down, I placed my ear to the
side of the coffin, and could hear
him breathe quite distinctly. 1 re-
member that it was the intention of
the attendant who had boarded the
train to enter the Car at Redwood,
estensibly for the purpose of seeing
the bodies, and could not but doubt
that the three men intended to attack
me after the train pulled out from
the station, and rob the car before
our arrival at the pext stopping place.
There was but one station between
us and Redwood, and / knew we
would be there in ten minutes more.
l had no time for hesitation, in
an instant had decided on plsn OF
action. AS quickly as possible 1 piled
several heavy boxes of merchandise
on top of the tEo coffins, and then l
knew 1 was safe. Scarcely was this
accomplished when we ran into the
station.
Immediately found txo or three
officers. First, the man In the coach
was secured. He was highly indig-
nant that he should be disturbed on
such a solemn mission. But it was no
go. He was handcuffed In less than
two minutes, and marched out on the
platform.
1t was an easy matter to secure the
two quondam dead men. They were
taken greatly at disadvantage, and
were deprived Of all power to resist
almost before they became aware how
their nice little scheme terminated.
All three had been we'll armed.
Bound and guarded, the three mis-
creants were taken to Redwood and
lodged in the county Jail.
Before left took look at them
through the grated door of the coll /.
When l paid my respects to the man
with the red eye he smiled a little and
remarked patronizingly:
you're pretty sharp, young man.
1t takes middling keen boy to out
wit u.s."
''Permit me to sympathize with you
in your sorrow at the loss of your
dear brother, just little"

A LAPSE OF MEMORY.

1t was on Monday morning,
The witching hour of two,
When the good wife looked out Of the window,
Sammy" said she, lis it you?''
''You-hic-bet chu,''
Says he, care you-hic-livin' here too?'P
TLen she hurried her down the stairway,
And she cOllared him by the name;
"Now, where have you been till this hour?''
'tMy darlin' - said he, "Pn 'splain,

Then she pulled out his hair by the hands full,
And twisted his nose II tweak,
And pounded his ears with slippers.

events of historical interest. His

ticeship he was in number of bat
ties that were fought with Denmark.
At the age of thirty he was trans
ferred to the Bellerophon, the frigate
which carried Napoleon to his lonely
captivity on the rocks of st Helena.
He was one of a squad Of twenty who
were selected from company of 700
men as special guard over Napole-
on. He remembers very well how
Napoleon looked He says the En-,
peror and exile was about five leei
eight inches in height; that he was
dressed in green coat, close,titting
brooches, wore his military hat, and
had decoration ON his lctt breast
He says that Napoleon could lie seen
almost amy day, while the voyage to
St. Helena, leaning against gun,
with his hat under his arm, chatting
with tue officers of the frigate. When
the vessel arrived at St. Helena, Mr.
Radcliffe was among the 800 men who
were sent ashore from the frigate to
bnild Naprleon's house at Longwoo3.
