to large tract of WOODS, through which
the road passed for some distance.
The thick foliage of the over arching
trees shut out the light, and the road
was so bad that Chip was obliged to let
the horse walk.
There was an absurd story which had
long been current of a headless horse
man who appeared in these very woods,
and Chip could not help recalling it with
shudder in spite Of its utter improba-
bility.
Suddenly the horse SHE'D, and the
startled boy caught sight of two dark
figures lying in wait at the side Of the
road.
The horse gave leap forward, but a
hand seized the bride and swerved the
animal to one side, so that the vehicle
was nearly overturned in the deep rut.
"No, you don't, youngster," a gruff
voice said. Just you give up that
money you got at Milldale or it viii go
hard with YOU"
"How do you know got any money!"
asked Chip, with a fast beating heart,
for he saw the CLEAN of a revolver that
was in the mans hand.
None of that" replied the rascal an
grily "You just give it up, that's all.
If YOU don't you'll never drive this wagon
again"
Chip took his pocketbook out with
trembling fingers, and the man greedily
snatched it from him.
You'll let me gonow, won't you? the
boy pleaded.
Mot much" said the robber coolly.
"Get out of that vehicle, and don't waste
any time about it. Do you hear me-"
With shaking limbs Chip obeyed and
submitted to a thorough search of his
pockets, after which he was bound, with
his arms behind him. to tree.
There, l fancy that'n do" said the
man, with chuckle. Turn the vehi-
Gle round, Bill, and let's be off"
Are you sure you've got ALT" his COM
panion asked.
Yes was the reply. "If we hadn't
used up all the matches trying to get a
light for our pipes I'd count what was in
the pocketoook."
The two rogues jumped into the vehi-
Gle and drove off in the direction of Mill
dale, leaving Chip straining and tugging
at the rope that bound him.
His fear that the robbers would return
when they discovered the deception that
had been practiced upon them made him
almost frantic, but all his efforts TO free
himself were in vain.
Helpless and exhausted he awaited the
outcome, turning paleat every noise that
he heard in the woods.

land Stanford for president is the pro-
gram which some of the leaders of the
Farmers Alliance are discussing for
1892. Stanford's mortgage loan bill,
proposing that the government loan
money to the honest toilers of the soil
with land for security, has obtained the
Endorsement of many local alliances and
the hundreds of letters and resolutions
piled upon his clerks desk express the
hope that he will be a candidate for
president IN the next election. The SEN
ator has not been anxious to seek such
high honors, but he begins to appreciate
the fact that he alone, of the millionaires
and venerable statesmen III the senate,
has the sympathy and support of the
farmers IL he lacked their support any
where, it was in the south, from the fact
that lie had been closely allied with the
republican party.
a prominent member of the alliance
intimated only few days ago that the
senator had nine-tenths of the farmers
with him and that he would win the
other tenth by voting against the force
bill.
Senator Stanford voted to lay aside
the force bill on Monday, and his action
is not likely to be lost upon his southern
admirers. He intends soon to press
still further his land loan bill Not that
he expects to pass it in the present sen
ate, but that he desires to keep it before
the country.
He has said to a correspondent thai
he did not expect to get two votes fol
the bill now, but he believed when it!
purpose and effect were understood by
the people it would pass the senate anc
become a law. He believes that til,
scheme has in it the elements for thu
relief Of the farming community and
new era Of prosperity for the country.

The Nicaragua Canal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The report Of
the committee on foreign relations on
the Nicaragua canal bill, presented by
Senator Sherman this morning, recites
the Importance of the canal project and
treats in detail the history of past ne
gotiations on the subject. The report
says that the work of the private corpo-
ration on the canal is being advanced
with great rapidity, and that the total
cost of the project will be but about one
third more than the Welland canal and
that it will be completed within six
years. The full cost of the work is set
down at $1OO,O0O,OOO. To secure this
amount Of money the company will be
obliged to sell its bonds at a large dis
count. Consequently it will be neces-
sary to impose heavy tolls on shipping,
and as the canal would really constitute
part of the coast line of the United
States, this burden would be largely
borne by the American people.

A Sensational Snicidn.

PARIS, Jan. 31.-An extraordinary
suicide caused panic in the church Of
ST. Michael at Havre. A man entered
the building with his clothes soaked in
petroleum, a rope around his neck and
kindling wood bound around his body.
He poured quantity of petroleum on
the ground beneath his feet, set fire to
it and in an instant was completely en-
veloped in flames. The priest who
rushed to his assistance was badly
burned. The unfortunate man quickly
fell dead, his body being burned beyond
recognition. There was the widest ex-
citement among the worshipers in the
church.
