crept snake-like around the twine.

I will watch with you for half an hour,

He sat down some minutes in chair,
watching the flame. Then he arose and
took q piece of porcelain, with the
murderer's name thereon. from the
table, and shook his head gloomily.
II am chemist enough to know it is
arsenic" he said. "Yes, those bright,
metallic eyes, betrayal of the guilty!
Science, thou wouldst kill my brother
thou shalt save him. Let me see in
whose hands thou are most powerful"
. The half hour wore slowly away. Oh,
heavens! What agony did suffer! Not
for myself, but for my child. The
fuse burned on-on. The half hour is
up. The brother of the murderer rises
to 60 Joy!
Commit your soul to Gods keeping"
he said. ''You hold the evidence of
my brothers guilt-nothing can save
you now."
With that he turned to take his hat
from off the table covered with the
crimson cloth beneath which hid my
priceless boy. Something attracted his

covered my boy. No; he was lifting
something in either hand-the wires Of
the electric battery. In another instant
my boy had leaped from under the
table, and was turning the crank fast
and furiously.
The murderer's brother was in the
power of my boy. He could not drop
the wires; he was helpless. How my
boy cried for help! The old college
rang with his voice. The prisoners
brother added his voice to my boys in
his agony. In an instant great length
burned away. 1t would just last five
minutes and no more!

Alas! 1 could not answer him.
Thank God! But some one else did.
The fuse is burned up. The rope is on
fire - the nitro-glycerine! The door

The next moment lay on my back,
a gag in my mouth, terribly frightened
and sick at heart. Over me stood the
policeman and the first thing that

straight in the face-to take off his nose.

Not so long ago there was a new rood

away in the loft Of the parsonage. The
parson, feeling desire toward goose,
had fine ono fattened, killed, stuffed
and spitted, and finally put down to
roast. He was frugal man, and to
save fire-wood lugged out the old cruci-
fix and put it on the fire as it was, his
conscience forbidding him to break it
up. This done, he went off to church,
leaving his little nephew to roast the
goose-ad est, to turn the spit In course
of time the crossbeam of the roof was
burned through, and the figure fell
down, face foremost, on the goose. The
little boy fed away in terror, and ran
into the church, calling out: "Uncle,
uncle, that man you put on the fire is

A: certain learned doctor had been
preaching in country church, and was
on his way back again. AS he rode
along he fell into theological medita-

questions, and consequently ne lost his
way. At last he met countryman, of
whom he asked the way to Savonnieres.
But the countryman knew him, and
said: why, master, you're an honest
man, indeed; heard you preach in our
church, and never heard better SER
mon in my life. / should like to hear a
dozen such sermons" ''Well, we'll, my
good friend, l hope to say fewgmore
words in season some other timU; but

nay" said the countryman, may God
keep me from such presumptuousness
to teach man who knows every thing;

things, ignorant Of such little matter?
Nay, 'tis not likely, master. God keep
