Daring Robbery.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2S.-Four men com- mitted the most daring daylight robbery, between ten and eleven o'clock this fore- noon, ever known in St. Louis. Henry Asshoff, eighteen years old, and employed by Rosenheim, Lewis & Co.,. Ninth street and Washington avenue, was returning from the Bank of Commerce with Si, 300, and when on Olive, between Sixth and Seventh, he was seized by four men who attempted to secure the money.
 The messenger fought desperately, and succeeded in saving S1,000 and capturing one of the robbers, although he was se- yerely pummeled for his boldness. The other three robbers got away, and took $500 with them.

 '.Yes, Rache.' replied Maggie. 1T sup pose in year from now we shall be staid married women. Dear me, we shall always have to go to church alone on Sunday after moons, for the boys will then settle down to the rule of once-a-day church, like my father.''
 And then they planned for the hundred and first time the wedding arrangements, and all the details of their housekeeping after. These simple girls had never been into society, had never seen any men who could outshine Tom and George, so they were contented and happy in view of these young yeomen becoming their husbands The boys were in much the same position, although they had to pay court to a consid- erable extent Cat any rate they thought it safer and wiser so to dol, as there were plenty of aspirants to the hands of Rachel and Maggie.
 Now, however, that they had managed by mutual consent and arrangement in a matter-of- fact kind of way to get the we'd ding-day fixed, Tom and George felt quite secure and breathed freely. For the first time since thcy had seriously thought of courtship, they allowed themselves to plead tilc u1h9 VI liS uoy eS ell cAtdSS IpI HOil-ds- tendance on their lady-loves to afternoon church.
 However, they were not upbraided by the girls on their return, and all through the remaining months of summer and autumn the course of their respective true love ran perfectly smooth and even.
 Master Wilson's grand " harvest homea came and went; October was pretty well through and the four boys and girls pre- pared to go for the last time as boys and girls, to the great event of the East Stag shire sScasonn-the annual ball at the Weir dale Assembly Rooms.

THE FASTEST VESSEL AFLOAT.

Satisfactory Result of the Trial Trip of tho
 Dynamite Cruiser vcsuvius-A Speed of
 Twenty One Nautical Niles Attained.
 PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.-The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius left Philadelphia Thurs day morning to make a second test of her speed. She returned yesterday afternoon. The following Is the official report, made by Government expert, and was ap- proved by the Messrs. Cramp and all oe the supervisors of the trip:
 The Vesuvius returned to Cramps Ship-yard at p. m. December 27, 1888, from her second trial trip. She made a run just before dark last night under very unfavorable circumstances, the wind blowing gale and an unusually heavy sea running. Under these disadvantages she made mean speed of 19. 59 knots in two runs over two-knot course. The disadvantage of the heavy sea was much aggravated by the shallowness of the water in the measure course. It was also conceded by all hands that the water on the measured course IS much too shallow to give the vessel fair chance within at least halt to three-quarters of a knot per hour. This morning she started to mako another run, and had gone over three-fourths of the course in the first run at the rate of at least twenty-one knots, when one of the air pumps connecting levers broke, which necessitated the shutting of of that engine and the re- mainder of the run was made with the other engine alone. Under that disadvantage her speed over the whole course was l947 knots per hour. Thereupon the trial ended. the con- tractors declining to attempt another run with only one air pump remaining in working order of the port engine, 1t being understood that each engine has two air pumps. The Messrs. Cramp announce that they feel in duty bound to give another test of speed of the Vesuvius. but they will ask that the course be chosen further down the bay near the brealSwater. SO that a clear way and an ample depth of water may be had, with every chance for the vessel to show her very highest speed. They have no doubt whatever that the Vesuvius will in every way prove superior 10 her contract speci- fcations, and they are particularly desrous of showing that she is the fastest vessel afioat

CHAPTER VIII.

When Percival received Randolph's let ter enclosing the certificate of marriage ht felt q considerable load lifted off his mind and at once remitted an order for thirteeI thousand pounds, glad at any price to bt able to rid himself of what appeared at ont time to be likely to remain a drag on him al his life. He did not return at once to En gland, but made the grand tour of Europe an undertaking which at that time required as many years as it now takes months to accomplish. It was more than four years after his marriage that he found himself once more in the land of his birth.
 His first business was to seek out the surviving member of the firm of Seal & Seal, and learning that he was engaged al the Peterborough assizes, where he would probably be compelled to remain for some time, he determined to follow Mr. Sea thither.
 He accordingly secured post-chais, and started on his journey. Horses were changed at the 'Saracen's Head,' Weir dale ia place with which the reader is al ready familiar), and the fresh relay ot horses had not taken the chaise more than mile or two when, from some cause 0; other, they took fright and bolted at full speed. They did not come to a standstill until just outside an old friend 's-Alatthew Wilson-gateway the chalse overturned into the ditch, precipitating Perciyal head foremost into the hedge.
 The inmates of the Manor farm were soon aroused, and, the horses being made fast, rercival was carried into the house, where 1t was found that he was severely bruised and had also a sprained ankle and broken arm. The post-boy had been thrown when the horses first took fright, and men were dispatched toward Werdale to look after him. Farmer Wilson, with his wife and Maggie, tended the stranger, while Tom was ordered off with the gig for the Weirdale doctor. But to this latter course Percival objected and asked that he might be driven to the s'Saracen's Head," where he would stay for q few days under the care of surgeon. After fruitless objec- tions on the part of the worthy farmers family, he was at length allowed to depart in tine care of Tom Wilson, and was duly de- posted by that young man at the Weirdale hotel.
 These events happened just week be- fore the ball was to take place, to which we know our young Mill Hill friends were looking forward with some degree of in- terest.
 Percival did not spend more than ono hour at the Manor farm, but it was long enough for him to take note of a beautifully calm, thoughtful face, full of expression. It seemed to this designing man of the world

and Raeae. lmparted some of her grace and polish to Maggie, so that in truth the two girls were iaost charming companions for the young men.
 The girls often talked together of their future as they had mapped it out many times. On this festival Sunday they were returning alone from afternoon church when they halted on the rustic bridge over the mill stream. A pretty picture they made, these two girlish forms leaning over the ripping stream on this warm afternoon in late summer The elder girl with her calm, quiet, thoughtful face looking down into the sunny eyes of her younger and live Her sister friend.

NAMING THE SISTERS.

Result of the Efforts nf Chairman Springes
 of the House Committes on Territories
 to Find suitable Names for the New
 States Expected to be Admitted Into tho
 Union.
 WASHINGTON. Dec. 2s.-Mr. Springer, chairman of the committee on Territories, has been making diligent efforts to find names for the new States which his bill will make out of the present Territories. A few days ago he sent letter to the Bureau of Ethnology asking it's aid and suggestion in the selection of euphonious and at the same time appI opriate names for the new States. Dakota gave him most trouble. Nothing seemed to him to be more commonplace than North Dakota and South Dakota, and it was to Dakota that he asked the bureaus especial atten- tion. He has received the following in- teresting letter from Gerrick Mallory:
 In compliance with your request. have dt- rected especial attention to desirable name for State to Do composed of the southern DOT tion of the present Territory of Dakota. Your limitations were that the name should have direct reference to the Dakotan stock, iin- guistic family of Indians. and that the term Dakota itself was occupied for the north- ern portion of the Territory Two. words. purely Dakotan, seem to have eupheny and poetieal merit. One Is "Winona," the name given to the flrst-born child of a Da- kota woman, provided the first born is fe- male. An objection to the use of that term is that itis already appropriated by town we'll known. The other s''Tatonka,' translated Buffalo in- volving the idea of the land of the buffalo, which is appropriate to that region. The term which Irecommend, of strictly euphonious accuracy for that region is Sanona, This is the old and correct form for the larger part of the Dalxotan stock, which had it's home in that part of the Territory. It appears in Lewis < Clarke, un- der the blundering form of .Sahone and Saone," and Tn our own Indian treatise "Sionne," and comprised the majority of the great body popularly spelled .'Tton'' and Teton but correctly "Titonwan." This ex- pression night be used, but it is not euphoni- ous as "Sanona," which means substantially the same. That is the title of the Indians who actually were the predecessors of the whites in the locality under consideration.
 MT. Springer does not, however, share the eminent ethnologist's preference for "Sanona.o He thinks "Winonao is the pleasantest one, and has selected it for South Dakota. He will advocate the re- tention of the name "Dakota" for North Dakota, more, he says, "because the word has become part of our political history, and has so many reasons to be remem- bered.o He instances the wide signifi- canoe in business circles of the term "Dakota Wheat"
 In the naming of the other new States Mir. Springer has shown equal good taste and research. New Mexico is to join the sisterhood of States under the stately name of "Montezuma." For Washington Territory he has selected "Laconiea," while Montana is to retain it's present name. MT. Springer is showing his col leagues that he is both poet and scholar.

 the very emblem of purity, and, sure enough, it would have been a fruitless task searching for it's peer among the women of ..London society," such as Percival had been in the habit of mingling with. Quick as lightning the thought rushed into Percival's brain that the face was the index of tho girls heart and nature, and, if so, he was satisfied that she must be good, and thus into this man, this curious mixture of right and wrong-good and evll-there suddenly came yearning after something pure and good He would not own to himself that the yearning was for the girl he had seen. Oh mol She was probably some simple rustic; may be tenant farmers daughter with hard, red hands and large feet. No; by an accident her face was pleasant to look upon and had reminded him of things pure and holy-of times long since past for him much the same as if he had looked at a painting of beautiful angel by one of the old masters. This was the way Percival tried to explain the feeling to himself. Yet, all the same, that one particular face haunted him all the days following his un- willing visit to the Wilson's home, and, not withstanding years of wIckedness which interyened, was imprinted upon his heart until the day of his death.

 He repeated his call two or thrce times, always keeping the man idea in view, but seeing that all hi. efforts to gain ground in that direction would be entirely fruitless, he gave up the attempt as a bad job. Mrs Douglas had resigned herself to her wid owed fate. She seemed very cheerful and happy, and gave herself up to painting Gin which art she excclled) and to the care of her little household. But ten thousand pounds is prize worth tho winning, and so Randolph thought. As he so thought he re- solved to go to some little risk and trouble in an attempt to secure it. He made friends with the parish clerk of an East London church--an old sinner who would have committed worse crimes than forging at the sight of gold. He and Ran dolph lald their heads together and one night filled up marriage certificate in the most careful manner possible. This Ran dolph mailed to Percival with the following letter:
 MY DEAR PERcIvAL: I want you to con. graduate me on having at last secured for myself a wife, who is no other than the lady you once considered your own exclusive property. You are aware that have run some risk thus to accommodate you, and will thank you to give me order on your bankers foi the promised reward.
