nose from the edge of his mistress robe. The light reassnred him. Such volley of sharp, piercing barks became audible in the ladies' carriage as could only emanate from the throat of an irate terrier. The two women were confused. At first they SUD- posed the dog was barking in an adjacent carriage. How could a living creature of any sort be concealed in their own, when every article of Miss Norfolk -Stanley's had been searched? Bijou parked with frantic zeal, and sprang toward the open window, redoubling his clamor. Then the older woman saw him, darted forward, and seized bim. The terrible yellow hand closed about Bijou's neck she lifted and prepared to fling him out of the window. Bijous silky little body landed on the ledge of the sash just as the surly guard appeared, who was walking around the outer railing or plat form, in response to that shrill volley of parks. What dog in the ladies' carriage, after all :! Aha. one must see about it! The surly guard caught BijoI in his hands heads appeared at neighboring windows. The poor little beast whimpered, licked the guards face in a propitiatory manner, and looked at him with the most agonized canine intelligence.
 A dog in the ladies' carriage! Moreover, flung out the window by vcngeful hand One glance from his point of vantage on the step revealed the truth to the surly guard. Miss Norfolk Stanley reposed in her corner in rigid insensibility, the cloak still about her; bags and cases were scat form fingered. A very well-arranged plan, hinging on the trains not pausing again until Modone was reached, hen all trace of disorder would have been removed, but for illustration by vigilant little dog, so tiny as to be stored away in the pocket of leather bag. ...
 A group of those highly-ornamental gensd armes in cooked hats and brilliant uniforms who pose so gracefully at French and Italian railway stations were given employment in arresting the thieves. Miss Norfolk-Stanley came to condition of confused consciousness, and was removed to hotel under guidance of her frightened maid. The surly guard actually kept Bijou in his arms, and caressed the little dog instead of demanding his ticket.
 Next evening Nephew Dick appeared at Modane in response to the maids telegram sent back to Turin. He had been delayed by reason of robbery, in which he had lost both watch and pocketbook, on night journey between Rome and Florence. He was disposed to suspect two gentlemen who had stayed in the same hotel at Rome.
 In the years 1877 and 1878 band of thieves waged war on the continent, their connection extending from Stockholm to Naples. They appeared as ladies and gentlemen at leading hotels, and pursued everywhere the higher branches of the pro- fession. Doubtless Miss Norfolk Stanley and Nephew Dick were both their victims. The latter was speedily reinstated in his aunt's favor by his ability displayed during the trial and conviction of the miserable women.
 Bijou has gone into honorable retirement in the country. His prejudices are respected. If he sees railway and a moving train, he howls and runs away, in remembrance of the awful day when cruel yellow hand seized and hurled him from the window as the ladies' carriage emerged from the Mont Cenis tunnel.-Halper's Weekiy
