The Story of an Umbrella.

Gen. III. F. Sickles, the Colorado com

lion. He said:
~"We were living up in the mountains

them one, an old COW, who wore bell.

A Watch That saved a Life.

There is now hunting case watch at
Frank Holler's that was instrumental in
saving a mans life by stopping pistol
ball from entering a vital part. Some
DAYS ago there was free tight at the
tunnel between the Italians and the
Irish, the former accusing the latter of
stealing their beer. Taking it all in all it
was drunken row and pistols and guns
were used indiscriminately and three of
the Irishmen were shot-at least such is
the report. The only important incident
in connection to the riot is the one men,
toned above. The watch was so badly
impaired by the force of the bullet that
its working parts will nearly all have to

chased from Mr.. Holar only few days
before the riot occurred. Shippensburg

was sold that the creature had eight
arms, and from tip to tip measured about
fifteen feet; that in the stomach was

p rslslent Grace.

Pete Sylvester and Gordon Lane, two
very old men with p ,inful convictions of
religious proprie,y, established a small
hotel near a sulphur spring in a noun
tain district of Arkansaw. The taste
that permits ofsipping, with pretense OF
relish, a dipper of sulphur water, has un-
doubtedly, after much practice, been
acquired; and, 1t was amusing to see old
Pete and aged Gordon, arrayed in open
warfare against the sulphur of the woild
to come, complacently drinking the sui.
phur of the world which has arrived.
People did net rush to the famous
watering place, and it was evident that
the old fellows would not grow rich in
one year-not, however, that their
charges fell short of such possibility
At meal time, the old fellows would take

One day old Pete and old Gordon be-
came involved in a quarrel. The board
ers stood around in keen enjoyment of
the scene, and wheE the dispute culmin-
attd in blows, no one felt regret that he
had come to this ''out of way" place.
While the old men were pounding each
other with liveliness which no one ex-
pected to see exhibited by such old citi-
zens, the Ginnerbell rang. The COM
batants ceased fighting and entered the
dining room.

Brother Gordon Lane complied. I'm
mediately after dinner, old Pete rushed
up to old Gordon and exclaimed:
Now, you old scarecrow, we'll settle
our little affair.
The engagement was resumed with
zeal. A separation was effected by the
boarders, but kind of guerilla warfare
was kept up until supper time When
the guests had assembled at the table,
old Gordon, in a voice somewhat shaken
by exercise, bowed low over an old plate,

THE SEQUEL.
Briefly, Bolette and Madame Lebonis
or rather Madeline Bolette, had been
mar and wife for years. They were
miserabiy poor. Lebonis took farcy
to the woman and she became his mis-
tress while her husband was raised to
respectability. Lebonis was not rich.
He was always lamenting his poverty.
He was fond of women and spent Law
ishly on them-on the sly. He had be-
come deeply involved.
Madame Langevin, housekeeper of the
Baroness de Beauce, had related to
Madame Jebonis the eccentricities of
her mistress or friend, and told of her
immense wealth piles of money and
boxes of jewels, all kept in her bedroom.
Leboniss greed was reused. He laid a
plot to get her wealth. He patiently OBJ
served and thought it out Then he per-
petrated it, having first induced his sup
posed wife to aid him. But his inten-
ton was to rob, not to murder.
When the deed was done, and the
hand of the law upon him, however, he
did not quake He was a man of re-
sources. He conceived the elopement of
his supposed wife and Bolette. That
would be stroke indeed. 1t was easy
to manage them; he would give them
half of the plumber, and when all was
safe they could enjoy it.
But whittier should they go? Now'lerel
stay here, in this house, until the police
have given up looking for you, and then
we will get you away to a safe place.
And so they remained in Lebonis's
house for weeks, the suspicion of the po-
lice never obce centreing upon that
place.
Lebonis is paying the penalty of his
crime. The woman and her husband
were imprisoned as access ,ries, ani then
