pulling in the rest of his body, lowered
himself to the floor.
Another pause and then three light
taps on the pane. Another form
noiselessly entered.
Then the two house-breakers per-
formed two extraordinary actions. They
laughed very heartily but silently, and
shook hands. This ceremony over they
moved toward the bed. One of the in
truders grasped the sleeper roughly by
the wrists while the latter calmly
flashed the lanterns glare over his face.
Dick had been dreansing of robbers,
and woke to find his dream realized.
He prepared for a struggle, but the
sight of the cleaning barrel of re-
volver of forty-four caliber held to his
nose quoted him at once.
Bind his wrists Beggs," growled one
of the ruffians, and Dicks wrists were
soon securely tied.
The speaker drew a match from his
pocket and touched up the gas.
Dick then raised his head and beheld
two men of good build standing beside

wore heavy mustaches. Each carried a
revolver, and one bore a sack, presuma-

posted.
''Pile out, youngster," commanded he
of the bag. eyer don't think we called
to see you particler, do yer?"
Dick silently obeyed, and was soon in
his clothes.
Now take us down to the kitchen
and shake up something for US to eat"
Dick thought it best to fall in with
their commands, and watching closely
for means of escape, led the way to
the kitchen. They ate ravenously, ey-
ing Dick the while.

Did Dick refuse? Oh! no! He cut as
good a shuttle as he could. After this
by-play bunker rose, stretched himself
and looked at the clock, the hands Of

Little Bird.
Throughout India people will make
pets Of any animals which can be in

larger growth, exhibited a particular
fondness for q certain little bird of ash

terry was soon solved. Returning from
drive one afternoon, we
passed the colossal gateway of the
great mosque, and saw that the
broad and towering flight of steps before
the principal entrance was covered with
scattered groups of people, all intent on
some occupation of absorbing interest.
So vast and imposing was the archi-
tectural background that the crowd OF
little figures suggested one of Martins

Some great religious ceremony was evil

An Able and Active Man and q Decided
~ Able Statesman.
King Leopold H., King of the Bel
gians, is an able and active man, though
not an emiently popular one. For some
reason, not easily explained, he has just
missed the general favor, and this in
spite of the fact that he is one of the
men who know how to say the right
thing at the right time, and who never
forget face they have once seen.
One day his Majesty was on the pier
at Ostend, walking quietly about among
his subjects like a simple citizen. He
saw Brussels burgher, and accosted

The flower amateur had himself for

This King possesses the precious art
of finding the proper point of view from
which to regard all classes of men. Wis

with the Shah of Persia, he approached
a group of workmen, and said, shaking
them by the hands:
"Never forget, my dear fellows, that
we must all work. We are all workmen
in our respective spheres.
His habits are simple, his activity
great, and his ability as statesman I'M
questioned. AS it has often been de-
clared, if he had been born in the burgher
class, he would greatly have distinguish

destiny, he is merely one OF many Kings,
