got into trouble. Being hard pressed,
he drew his pistol and killed his oppo-
nent, who was a worthless creature.
The dead mans friends, also worthless
creatures, gathered in an excited crowd.
Wallace, partly sobered, realized his
danger, and resolved to get out of town
if fpOssible. His horse stood in the shed.
Wallace kept the crowd off by pistol
shooting, that may have been a little
indiscriminate, until he was mounted.
By this time some of the dead mans
friends were also mounted. Wallace fled
and was hotly pursued. His plantation
was some eight miles the other side of
the river. The pursuing horsemen cut
him off from the bridge by riding up
side street. Seeing this he turned his
horse and rode down the river bank at
full gallop. It ives quite dark by this
time. After riding about a mile down
the river bank he spurred his horse into
the stream. His horse carried him
across safely and clambered up the op-
posite bank.
"WalIace rode into the heavy forest
at the full gallop. He remembered no
more of that nights experience. The
next morning he awoke in a darkened
room. He was lying on rough, dirty
floor. Staggering to his feet he felt
around his unknown quarters until he
found a hole in the floor. A ladder had
been thrust through this opening and
projected a couple of feet above the
floor. He descended the ladder and
found himself in a basement, one side of
which opened on a guIch. It was an
abandoned still house. He saw the
tracks made by his horse, but the horse
was gone. He did not know where he
was. 1t was ten o'clock before he found
a road he knew, and noon before he
reached home. His horse returned
home during the previous night. Ever
after, when Wallace got drunk in that
town, he would wake up the next morn
ing in the dark attic of the deserted still
house. He always turned his horse
loose and had to walk home. When he
left the country and the old associations
were broken, he quit riding around at
to hide in dirty attics."
1t was growing late Our party bade
one another good night and wandered
off to bed FARNK WuKEsON.

a brave and brawny Scotchman, desired
to become a member of the order, and
the order was too glad to ''take him in. p"
A night was set apart for his initiation,
and, as he was a particularly powerful
man, the gathering of the clans was un-
usually large. The initiation proceeded
amid uproarious fun up to the elevated
railway and a plunge into the seething
waters Of the lake. A wet blanket was
in the hands of dozen strong men, in
which the aspirant was tossed about
until they became exhausted. Harding
was anintensely earnest man, and took
the initiation to be a serious affair.
Being told by the grand conductor that
from the elevated railway he should be
plunged into a lake, he had contracted
his muscles and nerved himself for the
battle with the waves. When he struck
the blanket the shock was too much for
his nerves. He was taken to his home

HOW A FASTING THIEF ESCAPED.
Peter c. SmulI Feigns FOOIishness in Order
TO Attain His Freedom.

The escape of Peter G. SmulI, the
fasting horse-thief, from the jail at
Belvidere, N. j., was very cleverly
managed. At 7 o'clock in the evening
Sheriff Bowers found him very weak
and complaining of pain in the stomach.
The Sheriff then went down town on
business.
Half an hour later Smull ratified at the
door leading to the Sherif's residence,
and the call was responded to by Lizzie
bowers, Il young Ituy OL twenty sam.
mers. He asked her to get him some
cigars. She refused, saying that none
of the men were about. Ten minutes
after this SmuIl again called Miss
Bowers, and asked to have his coal-oil
lamp filled. Smull's cell is in the old
Jail. Miss Bowers opened the door of
the new jail adjoining to let John Price,
coIored, into SmulI's apartment to fill
the lamp.
BY this time Smull who stood inside
of the door in his shirt-sleeves, put on
his coat, thin one, a Derby hat, fur
nished by a prisoner. Price passed in
the door, and finding Smull ready, ran
out, followed by Smull and Theodore
Carling. Miss Bowers grabbed SmuIl,
but he broke her hold, pushed her aside
and soon joined the other prisoners on
the street. Miss Bowers screamed for
help. Her mother came and both stood
in the hallway powerless with fright
until too late to see which direction the
prisoners had taken.
At the time of their flight a high
wind and snOw-storm prevailed, and the
night was the coolest of the season.
Smull was thinly clad, having on the
clothing that he wore at the time of ar
rest, two months ago. The day before
he escaped he moved about in his cell in
a stopped position, and appeared hardly
able to walk. When he ran from the
prison he was as straight as an arrow,
and appeared strong. His cell was Wis
tied by arepOrter of the EastOn A1gtts,
who found everything in order and a lot
of eatables on a stand. A small gold
cake, brought to Smull by his mother
four weeks ago, was found with the in
side removed. The Sheriff is positive
that this was all that Smull has eaten
since he has been in prison. CARING
was awaiting trial for highway robbery
and Price was serving a sentence for
larceny.

A Fathers Complaint.

ga touching letter" says the London
Globe. addressed to the Berlin Uni
versity authorities by an unfortunate
father whose only son was killed in n
foolish duel with a young American
fellow-studcnt, is making considerable
commotion, and will, it is hoped, lead
to radical reform of the easy, not to
say recfk less, way in which duels are
contracted and fought out III Germany.
The unhappy father complains that the
American, who had no right to be iu-
scribed as a German student, was al
lowed brutally to assault his son aud
challenges him to a mortal combat with
pistols. in the use of which the German
was utterly unskilled After having
killed his adversary, the American es.
capped to Switzerland, and his extradi-
ton could not be obtained, owing to the
want of proper provision IN the respec-
tive laws.
We pass often from love to ambition,
but we seldom return from ambition to
love.
