When the Twelfth Massachusetts
Regiment was on its way to Washington,
a week after the Bull Run disaster, the
rumor was current at Harrisburg that the
rebels had opened an attack on the Ma
tional Capital. Colonel Webster at once
called upon the engineer of the train to
throw open the throttle and rush things.
The engineer replied that his locomotive
was ont of order and could make only
five miles an hour.
This aroused the ColonePs suspicion,
and he called for a squad of machinists.
Five of his men responded, and he told
them 10 examine the locomotive. They
did so, and found it all right. Then
Colonel Webster arrested the engineer
and put a private in his place. and the
regiment was whirled into Washington
at the rate of fifty miles an hour.

of setting out on pilgrimage to Nee
ca, intrusted all his money to man
who had hitherto borne reputation
for unblemished probity. His fortune
consisted of two thousand besants. On
his return he was not little surprised
when the reputed honest man denied
all knowledge of himself or his money.
The pilgrim enterd complaint against
him. entreated the judge to help him
to his property, and took his oath on
the truth of his statement-but all
in vain The old mans good name
outweighed all he could say the
plaintiff was nonsuited. and went away
in despair.
Presently he met an old woman who
was toddling along with the help of
staff: Touched by the strangers grief,
she stopped him, hailed him in Allah's
name. babe him take heart, and listen
ed to his unvarnished tale.
"Be of good cheer. young man."
said she; maybe. with Allah's aid. l
shall get back your gold. Do you buy
a chest and fill it with sand or mould |;
only let it be bound with iron and well
locked. Then choose three or four
discreet men, and come to me. We
shall succeed, never fear"
The Spanish moor followed her ad-
vice punctually. He came with four
friends, bringing chest which the
strongest gorters could scarcely drag
along
"Now, follow me-" said the old
woman.
On reaching the door of the suppos-
ed honest man, she went in with the
Spaniard's four friends, bidding the
latter wait below. and not make his
appearance until the chest had been
carried up stairs. She now stood in
the presence of the hypocrite, when
she introduced her four companions.
"Behold~ said she. "Here are some
honest Spaniards about to make a
pilgrimage to Egypt. Their treasures
are boundless. They possess, among
other things, ten chests full of gold and
silver that they know not where to
stow away just at present. They de-
sire to intrust them to safe hands for
a time; so well knowing your honesty
and unsullied reputation, have brought
them hither. Pray fulfil their wishes"
Meanwhile she had the heavy chest
brought in, which the pretended hon.
est man gloated over with greedy
looks. But just then the despoiled
pilgrim rushed in, impetuously claim
ing back his two thousand besants.
The faithless depositary was fright
ened lest the young man should re-
proach him with his treachery in the
presence of strangers, who would then
take away their chest with its untold
treasures, which he had already deter
mined to appropriate to himself.
BE welcome !" he cried to the Moor,
81 was almost fearing you would never
come back. and was puzzled what l
should do with the two thousand bes-
ants. Allah be praised who has
brought you back safe Here is what
belongs to you"
The Spanish Moor went away with
his treasure as triumphant as though
he were carrying off so much booty.
The old woman begged the master of
the house to put this first chest in
safe place, while she went and ordered
ed the rest to be sent. She went off
with her four companions, and, of
course, never returned.
