Ny PantaIOons.',

A French banker, taught to be
skeptlcal, doubtless, by his business,
was also taught to credit neighbor's
word, by notifying lesson: GA
very absent-minded member of the
French institute was reading the
newspaper in the Casino at Dieppe
the other day. He was absorbed by
his reading, and with his left hand
he unconsclously pushed the files of
newspapers on the table.
Each moment he pushed them
farther from him. Beyond the pa
pers was an inkstand, which at last
the moving papers pushed over the
side of the table.
{" 1t Tell on the white trousers of a
Paris banker, who was furious at the
accident.
The absent-minded man offered
his best excuses without appeasing
the bankers wrath, who shrieked that
his new pantaloons were ruined.
"'But, sir, l will cheertully paw
for them. Be good enough 10 give
me your card, and l will send the
money to your hotel
"'To my hotel Sir, don't know
you. [ must instantly have the ,hir-
ty francs these pantaloons cost
"The member of the institute drew
forth the Thirty francs and handed
them to the banker. Then he said
"'Now that you have been paid, l

Trap a man, and well. you cant rely on

the heavy stage coach, as we roll out of

seven men. One is an army officer, who
has half dozen scars to prove his BRAY

plains last summer by score Of Indians,

wart miners, each armed with two re-
volvers, and they look as If they would
prove ugly customers in a fight.
The seventh man might do some shoot
ing on a pinch, but he hopes there will
be no pinch. In the crowd are ten re-
volyers. two derringers, three repeating
rifles and four or five bowie knives, and
there is perfect good feeling as the stage
rolls along. It Is tacitly understood
that the army officer is to assume com
mand i'm case the coach Is attacked. and
that all are to keep cool and fire to kill.
It is 10 o'clock in the morning. The
windows are down and the passengers
are smoking and talking and seeking

for comfortable positions. The coach
has Just reached the top of hill, when
every horse is pulled up.
IF it's bar we'll have some fun"
growled one of the miners as he put his
head out of the window.
IF it's rObber gin me the first pop
at him." whispered one of the despera-
does.
No one could say what the trouble was,
when wiry little chap about five feet
six inches tall, with black eyes and hair,
clean face and thin lips, appeared at the
left hand door with cooked revolver in
either hand, and said:
Gents, Pm sorry to disturb you, but
I've got to make raise this morning.
Please leave your shooters and climb
down here, one at a time"
1t was sudden. 1t was so sudden that
it took 10 seconds to understand the drift
of his remarks. Then every eye turned
to the right hand door, and the two re-
vOlvers held by the second rObber was
seen at the open window. 1t was trap.
The rats were caught, and would they
fighty"
Scents, I'm growing leetle impa-
tient," continued the first rObber, "and
| want to see the procession begin to
move"
Let's see. The captain was to lead us,
and we were going to be cool, and fire to
kill. But the captain was growing
white around the mouth, and nobody had
a weapon i'm hand. The rats were not
going to fight. One of the miners OPEN
ed the door and descended, and the other
six humbly followed. The seven were
drawn up in line across the road, and
while the robber held his shooter on the
line, he cody observed to his partner:
"NOw, william, you remove the weap-
Ons from the coach, and then search these
gentlemen"
AS William Obeyed, every victim was
ordered to hold his hands above his head
and whatever plumber was taken from
his pockets was dropped into Williams
hat. Four gold watches, two diamond
pins, a telescope, diamond ring, a gold
badge, and 81 200 in cash changed hands
in ten minutes. Not man had word
to say. The driver Of the coach did not
leave his seat. and was not interfered
with. When the last man had been
