dismay-''it is nearly one o'clock! Re member, please, that my size is number six"
 But, such is the inherent wickedness of a young man in love, Frank auda- ciously replied: "Now Agnes, darling, you have just confessed that l have won. Surely one o'clock is Less than ten-you must pay your wager.
 "You naughty boy, it is clearly who have won; and even if l had not, you have already paid yourself"
 "Of course, my sweet mentor was only joking. The gloves are yours, and l will honestly return the stolen pledge" and he faithfully did so, with interest at the rate of two or three hundred per cent. a minute.
 At length disengaging herself, Agnes insisted upon an immediate return home, and in a few moments they reached the hall. Here, the lovely girl would fain, at once, have said good night, but, as she stood on the upper one of the stone steps, and Frank on the one next below, he put both arms around her waist and, gazing up into her face, whispered with melting tender ness:
 "Agnes, my life! my love! stoop down and kiss me once of your own accord" "
 Unable to resist his pleading eyes, she bent her graceful head, and softly sigh ing: 'Franl1, dear Frank! there, and there, and therc," fled swiftly to her room-the happiest maid in all the British Isles.
 As is customary in great English country houses, the family of Col. Howard breakfasted at such hours as each member individually chose, but Miss Graydon made it a rule to share this informal meal with her young charges. Hence, it was not a very diff cult matter for Frank to so time his own visit to the breakfast room next morning as to make a fourth in the

 This was touching the stern old soldier in e tender spot, and he was evidently affected by his sons earnest appeal, but would not yet yield his ground; though now he spoke without anger: 'I believe, Frank, that you arc quite sincere in all that you have said, your whole argument is founded upon the assumption that your attachment for Miss Graydon is fixed and unchange- able, and your destiny necessarily inter woven with and dependent upon hers. Now if she were to die tomorrow would you not forget this dream in, new ties equally as strong as those which at present bind you to her?''
 What might do, sir, in case of so deplorable an event, do net know, nor is it necessary that should try to imagine. It is enough for me to know that Miss Graydon lives, and holds my nearL ana GruCn. DuCy ana lncllnaClOn alike bind me to her in bonds which only death, or her own commands, can break; and, come what may, shall never prove recreant to my trust. Let me remind you, my dear father, of that old maxim, 'nobless oblige,' which you so often quote"
 The colonel rather winced at this home thrust, and remained for some time silent, but finally said: "Well, my son, since you are bent upon shattering all my plans for your welfare, l will so far temporize with this matter as to make you 'proposition-and it is my ultimatum. Both you and Miss Gray don are yet very young, and can afford to wait. Now, propose that you shall at once break of all communication with her and spend five years in travel. If at the end of that time she is still single, and you are of the same mind, will withdraw all objections to your union, and bear my own disappointment as best can. But, remember, the sep

 MAYS LANDING, Dec 4-The engi- neer of Philadelphia seashors passen- ger train bound for Cape May City, saw an obstruction on the track at poin t two miles from Tuckahoe, yesterday, just in time to prevent a smashup. The train was brought to 8 standstill in safety and several railroad ties were found lying on the track.
 While all hands were looking around the conductor saw a big man in the woods near by. He went toward him and the man fell upon and beat him bs- fore assistance could arrive.
 The fellow was finally overpowered, whereupon he confessed that he tried to wreck the train, and said that he was sorry he had not succeeded.
 He refused to give his name, but is supposed to be one of the numerous en- ployes that the road owes. He was locked up at Cape May only after the of ficers had had difficulty in preventing his being lynched.

John Mc3Ianus Ends His Career on th1
 Gallows in Philad elphia.
 PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4.-John Mo- Manus was hanged :n Moyamensing prison yard at 10:08 o'clock yesterday.
 McManus was known as the wicked est man in Philadelphia He had mur- dered no less than three persons, the last of whom was Eugene McGinnis. His whole life has been one of crime, and in addition to his murders he has stabbed and otherwise badly wounded at least 8 dozen men and women.
 The murder of McGinnis, for which McManus was hanged, occurred on election day, 1889. There was woman in the case, one Amanda Crosss styled the Queen of the Sums. Her reeord is almost 8 parallel in every respect to that of McManus.
 During the past five yeras three young men have been murdered, and with the killing of each she has been connected, directly or indirectly.
 James Kane, who was hanged some years ago, killed his brother 3on her account, and the hanging of MeManus to-day marked her fourth victim.
 On election day, 1889, McManus went on a debauch and killed McGinnis in a drunken frenzy. He was prominent in ward politics and controlled gangs ot repeaters. If it had not been for his political pull he would have be on hanged two years ago.

 Friends Are Jubilant.

 Not More Than 225 Members Expected
 at the Caucus-The Attempt to Draw
 the Wisconsin Contingent from Springer
 Unsuccessful.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The field against Crisp is the situation of the Speaker ship contest. Whether the field can centre upon any one man now in the race or a new man is the question asked on all sides. Crisp has 8 com manding lead. but he is some distance from the goal, while the other candidates are considerable distance in the rear.
 Wilson of West Virginia is m entioned as the man most likely to be taken up if McMillin, Springer and Hatch arc in their lines has been effected, though several efforts in that direction have been made, especially among the Springer forces. The attempt was made to draw from Springer his Wis consin contingent, and ex-Secretary Villas was credited with engineering the movement. His friends, however, deny that he is interfering in the Speakersh ip fight.
 Judge Holman of Indiana, the caucus chairman arrived last night, but did not visit any of the headquarters. He refuses to express his preference, stating 1 that the Indiana delegation will meet l to-day to discuss the situation. At the | request of all the candidates he issued the following official call last night for | the meeting of the caucus "There will be 6 meeting of the Democratic mem bers of the House of Representatives at the hall of the House on Saturday, Dec 5, 1891 at 9 p. m., for the purpose of nominating candidate | for the offices of the House of Represen- tatives for the Fifty-second Congress. (Signed), w. s. HOLMAN, Chairman. It is said that 200 members are in the city to-day. It is expected that not more than 225 members will bs presen t | at the caucus.
 The total Democratic membership is
 placed at 233; but as 8 matter of course,
 candidates will not be present. The claims of tho several Bcandidates
 on the first ballot, are: Crisp, 78; Mills,
 67; Springer, 59; McMillin, 29; Hatch,

 there are Democratic members, so

The Motor of the EIIfune.

The assumption seems fair that the
locomotive engine will have been SUI
perseded when we double our speed.
and that we must find ways to utilize
the weight Of the cars themselves
for adhesion, and to make each carry
it's own motor. This evidently points
o electric traction, the only method
IS yet discovered Of keeping the horse
in the stable and yet Of making him
do his work without taxing us for his
own carriage. | have very little Ques-
ton that, where railways are carry
ing large numbers Of passengers on
short routes, as on our elevated sys-
TENS of roads-where, if ever, we may
reach enormous high specds-the cleo
trio motor or some advance even on
that latest marvel of invention and
engineering, must come into use.
Heat, light, and electricity will then
conspirc in that coming revolution
which shall combine for us the speed
Of the bird, the comforts Of home,
and the safety OF the hermit's CELL
And what must come will come

a Wonderful Instinct.

1t IS a wonderful instinct that tells
youth Of age, and teaches the child
Of six the weakness Of the grand
father of ninety. The tenderness
and care that mere infants almost
will display toward the old man whose
span Of life is nearly done make one
Of the most interesting and pleasant
of studies. Children have very
clear and shrewd conception of the
difference between people of different
ages. 1t does not come down perhaps
to a year or two, but decades make a
difference. The child of five draws a
decided distinction in many ways be-
between the boy in his teens, the
man of thirty, the man of middle
life, and the gray-haired grandfather,
and part of the instinct which pro-
duces that develops the same instinct
with regard to sex, and is even finer
in application to women than to men.
But it is curious how the child recog-
nizes the nonogenarian, and makes a
companion and an equal of him,
occasionally showing a sense of SUI
periority. -Hearth and Hall.

pennies out Of a pOssiblc twenty-five
thrown in the air, is without Ques-
ton the finest shot in his line in the
United States. He is little known,
save to limited circle of marksmen
in Illinois, for the reason that he
shoots wholly for his own amuse-
ment and has never taken part in
tournaments or matches. He discOV-
cred his remarkable talent as a rife
man through an accident in killing
swallows on the wing, and at once
began practiclng at snap-shOOtlng.
For nearly five years his work was
done systematically, but about four
years ago he began regular practice,
shooting not less than 500 shells a
day. He has no favOrite target, but
shoots glass balls, pennies, pebbles,
white beans and other small objects,
according to his fancy.
Rigden considers the use of shot
cartridges demoralizing and will not
use them under any circumstances,
preferring the small 22-caliber ball,
as it is the most difficult. He exer-
ciseS great care in selecting his guns,
and has several splendid weapons
which he holds priceless. Truly
phenomenal was his latest score with
glass balls in a 5OO-ball shoot at the
old Lime Kiln shooting grounds, he
breaking 400 balls with % short-ball
cartridges out Of possible 500, while
over one hundred and fifty balls were
broken before he missed. He has
frequently broken $50, 483 and 485
glass balls out of possible half thou
sand, and expects in short time to
be able to break 500 without a miss
One of his favOrite shots, and one re-
quiring great skill, is the double. He
has his thrOWer select a pebble about
the size Of glass ball and toss it into
the air at a regulation height and
distance and will strike the pebble
twice before it touches the ground,
breaking the gun before the second
shot. This is a wonderful feat, but
he seldom fails of performing it at the
first trial. Here is another favorite
shot: He faces the thrOWer, gives the
order to throw, turns completely
around and breaks a glass ball before
it has fallen half way to the ground.
