''In tunnel" the able replied.
"a tunnel"
"Yes."
:'You make my heart beat. Where

"Nct yet"
"Well, when he goes tell me and I will

Scoup, scoup, scoup. A long bony
arm was thrust into DeMakeshift's cell.
DeMakeshift seized it and pressed the
elbow to his lips. The able stepped in
to the cell. 1--WE must escape. from here"
said the able.
"How?"
"By scaling the walls"
"How can we scale them without a
knife?"
"Wait."
Then able took off his shirt, tore it
into shreds, and in marvellous manner
made ladder. ''Got couple of pins?'
"What do you want of them?"
''Make hooks to go on the end of the
ladder"
"Here they are"
"Now," said the able, bending the
pins and fastening them on the ladder,
''follow me-"
They passed out into the courtyard.
DeMakeshift uttered an exclamation. He
saw the man who had poisoned his
grandfather. The able threw the ladder.
The pins caught hold; the two men es-
capped.
The following is an extract from
American realism:
Samuel" said Miss Peterson" have
you taken the ashes out OF the stove?''
IL guess I have"
Did you fix the kindling?'
II guess have"
Samuel arose, stretched himself, blew
his nose on a bordered handkerchief,
took up a decorated shell, looked at it,
put it down, looked at the clock, took up
lis hat and quietly left the house. His
heart was heavy, much heavier was his
brain. He walked with slight limp.
Why? The conductors experiment
had not been successful. He blew his
nose. Then he sneezed. When he reach
ed the street corner he sneezed again. A
girl passed, looked back at him and gig
gled. He despised giggling girls. His
sister who married man who possessed
epileptic fits did not giggle. He fol-
lowed the girl. He despised himself for
doing it, but he couldn't help it. 1t was
the first time he had ever followed girl.
He overlook the girl.
'How are your he asked.
She giggled and said she was able to
get about.
81 know that" said he.
Then they both giggled. He turned
and left the girl. His heart was full of
sweet sadness. He regretted having
spoken to the girl, for he had not been
brought up with her, yet her bright image
AS it hung before him in neat black wal
nut frame smiled upon him, and made his
heart beat with joyous throos. Il must
not speak to her again." he said, but the
next minute he ran after her. He over
took her and said:
"How are you by noww
She smiled and said that she was still
stirring. He turned and ran away. That
night his sleep was not sound. He was
in love.
In an interview recently an American
gentlemen said that large sums of money
were being sent from American cities to aid
the secession party in Nova Scotia. One
Boston firm contributed $4,000, which was
forwar ed the day he left that city. He also
states that the secession movement Ia looked
upon as preliminary step toward annexs-
