One Fourth Of July. in Plugtown, the
boys who were firing the anvil at intervals
ran short of powder and started around town
to solicit moneyIto buy some more. When
they came to Uncle Billy Smith, sitting on
the drugstore steps and telling how his
grandfather helped whip the British in
Revolutionary days, the old man broke off
his story and said:

sartin' what she is. but you'll find it in
the corner to the right as you enter the back
door. Might knock in the head and see

Three or four of the boys started for the
shop, while he went on with his warn. Ten
minutes had passed, and he was giving the
red coats fits at Lundy's Lane, when there
came tremble-a Grassland the cooper
shop seemed to be lifted bodily 80 feet into
the air. All the men on the steps were
rolled of, but Uncle Bill waso one of the first

on fire in a dozen places, he waved his
hand and exclaimed:

''NO," said Bidulph, as he looked at the
row Of bottles.
"Testing the corks," was the answer.
"Ascertaining exactly how long it will take
the acid with which the bottles are hlled to
eat through the corks, which are oil various
lengths and qualities. That acid explodes
dynamite a few seconds after it has come In
contact with it. Now, dare say you can
see how I work. Having placed quantity
of dynamite in a box, put among 1t bot
tie containing that acid, corked and inverted
as those are. know the length and quality
of the cork, and can tell, consequently,
within a couple of hours at the outside how
long il will take the acid to work through
Ii. There is no mechanism to get out OF
order or reveal itself by any clicking or
noise. 1t is the most simple and perfect dis
covery that has been made in the business
as yet"
dIt's admirable" said Bidulph, in some
what the tone of reverential awe that an ar
dent connoisseur might speak while gazing
on 9 masterpiece of art. Finally 1t was ar
ranged that Denton was to receive e10O,
and that he was to have the box of dynamite
ready for dispatch on the following Tuesday
at u o'clock.
On Tuesday, then, at II o'clock, Bidulph
paid the e10O, and took the box away with
him on a truck which Denton had in readi-
ness it was taken to carrier, and for
wsrded BY him to a shipping agent in Liver
pool, TO be consigned to New York. On
Friday morning Mr.. Bidulph received a
bill of lading and letter Of advice from the
shipping agent, from which it appeared that
the box in question, labeled Hardware 2.
375," with sundry other goods of his, had
been put on board the steamship Falcon,
which was to leave for New York at
o'clock on Friday afternoon. During the
day Mr. Bidulph visited the Offices of sew
eral brokers and insured the goods he had
on board the Falcon to the extent of about
100000.
The Ashtons, who had arranged, as We
have seen, to travel by q Cunard steamer,
left Euston at IL o'clock on Thursday night
TO meet the steamer, which was to sail from
Liverpool at s o'clock on Friday morning.
Mrs Ashton was Bidulph's fsvorite
child, and when he returned from the
station, where he had been to see her of, he
felt an intense sense OF loneliness with, for
the first time, curious dread Of some i'm
pending evil.
