The next day it was found that the
supposed shadow wa the painted figure
OF a man, and, strange enough, Burk
Brahdon's idiotic son had done the
work. He had come to the place in a
boat, and, having singular aptness in
this respect, had performed his self i'm
posed task with remarkable faithfulness
to nature. In the giiInmer of the moon
light his fathers mistake was not IN
natural, though it had cost him his life.
With the death Of their chief the snug
glers no longer continued their nefari-
Gus business, SO that Witless Jack had
unconsciously rendered an inestimable
service. That was several years since,
and though the figure has faded from
the rock, the place is known as the
Smuggler's Shadow.-George Waldo
Browne in Yankee Blade.

less uneasy. As it was he lay quiet
waiting for the danger to pass.
The time tedioasIy away while
his gaze VA riveted on the shadowy
form until his eyes became blurred and
his limbs benumbed.
To his wonder the figure continued
m~otionless, though nee OF twice he
fancied there was ii slight movement.
Several times lie was upon the point
OF leaving the cave. trusting to escape.
but he refruined from taking the risk.
1.-The furies take EN-" he muttered;
"they can shoot ne down like a dog
without my liftin a finger"
He ch&fed at his helpless position and
blamed himself for coming again to the
place, whiee. higher and higher, the
great round moon stole mp thedark blue
dome Of MT.
Still there was no visible change in
shadow on the rock. IL his bewildered
state he lever realized that with the
ascent Of the moon its shape would alter
and its position vary. or if he did give it
a passing thought It only served to IN
tensify the mystery and increase his
fears.
Vainly he waited for it to disappear
waited, until to his feverish vision it
grew palmer in outline. until the
shadowy limbs seemed substantial. the
body the rounded form Of a living be-
ing.
4 can't stand this any longer" he
cried at last. Il must take my chances
whatever they be-"
Freeing himself Of the plumber he had
hoped to take away, 50 that he would
not be unduly numbered. he crept out
upon the shelf.
Not a sound broke the stiffness of the
night save the ceaseless murmur of the
sea.
Now that his back was turned upon
the phantom figure. and that his hur-
ried survey of the scene discovered no
one, he moved forward with rising hope.
He had passed half OF the circular dis
lance from the cave to the end Of the
narrow pathway without anything to
alarm him, though at each furtive
glance he saw the changeless shadow,
when the sound Of footsteps reached
his ears.
A moment later a mans form came
around the edge Of the cliff, and then a
second and a third.
With a low cry he turned to retrace
his course to the cavern, knowing that
once there he could defend himself
against a dozen, but III his excitement
he missed his foothoid and, clutching in
vain upon the Ledge. lie went headlong
down its jagged side upon the rocks be
low.
A piercing cry that rang far and clear
on the night air. u sullen splash IL the
water and j deathhl.e silence followed.
The newcomers proved t. be some u
his confederates, who, anxious a,
his nonappearance, had ON in search
of him.
The smugglers were about to descend
to the side Of their unfortunate leader
when they saw for the first time tie
shadow Of the cliff.
Without stopping to solve the mys-
terry they beat a hasty retreat to theil
homes.

The cars long visit in the Danish
capital, a distance from threats and fears
of the Nihilists, is said to have been most
beneficial to his health and to have put
him in mood for less belligerent views
of the European situation. But one
fright has married the serenity of his life
in Copenhagen and that concerned his
guards more than himself. Early one
morning a few days ago guards in the
park Of the castle at Fredensborg saw a
door leading to the garden, burst open and
the car, shouting and gesticulating, ran
out in slippers and shirtsleeves. An at
tempt at assassination was the immediate
conclusion and the guards ran to the
rescue, half Of them fastening to the de-
serted apartment and the others after
the car The latter found the car beat
ing two large Siberian bloodhounds and
saw big tom cat scooting off, tail up and
head down.
The car explained to the astonished
guards that as he sat at the window he
saw the dogs chase the cat, the favorite
pet Of King Christian, into corner, and
fearing delay would be fatal, ran to the
rescue.--Chicago News Record.

Uses OF the Umbrella.

An umbrella ID one OF the most use
full articles that q man can carry with
him" said Lamar J. Saunders, from Jack
son, Miss. One can be used In dozen
different ways. When the sun IL shining
hot, or when II 10 raining, man without
an umbrella must either remain indoors
or suffer. As q weapon Of defense there
Is nothing better. You can keep man
ct his distance with one better than you
could with stick. You remember what
a conspicuous part the umbrellas played
in the tragedy at Homestead the other
day in the hands OF the infuriated
womenf Next to shotgun or pistol,
there is no more dangerous weapon.
81 remember one time was in hotel
that caught afire early in the morning.
The guests were awakened by the sitting
smoke and noise. My room was on the
second floor, and by the time / had
slipped on my pants the fire had gained
such Roadway that all avenues Of escape
were closed. But there was my umbrella
and window and the rest was easy.
Another time was walking through
a pasture when a bull with his eyes ablaze
with fire made for me. kept my senses,
and when he got within about fifty yards
of me ran towards him, opening and
closing the umbrella ss fast as could
The bull wheeled around and ran from
me faster than he ever ran before in his
life.
And for frightening dogs had rather
have an umbrella than an arsenal. st.

Some months ago magnetic separator
for extracting iron and steel from bones,
oilcake, ETC., before putting them into
grinding mills, attracted much attention
in England. This machine has served its
purpose so well that it is now used for
taking miners wedges and picks out OF
coal before grinding for coke making. It
consists OF hollow inclined drum,
through which the material is fed. The
interior surface presents series OF poles,
magnetized through half revolution in
snch manner as to pick up and deposit
in tray any magnetic material.
1t takes about ten revolutions for any
particular piece of material to pass
through and there are ten poles, SO 100
chances occur for any piece to be caught.
1t is stated that through one of these
machines, which has been in use many
months, no piece Of iron has been known
to pass, and fragments of all sizes, from a
hairpin to Ratchet head, have been ex-
tracted.

There was a ball the other evening at
one of the mansions in a West End
square. Just before 1t wound up about a
dozen cabs were drawn up at the front
door. By accident the night was fine;
and one ofathe drivers who had spoken to
the iootman, came back to his fellows and
told them that there was little chance of
their being wanted. One OF the drivers,
however, was equal to the emergency. He
borrowed a couple OF umbrellas and asked
the footman to get him a pail of water
for his horse. The water was brought,
and just as the guests were coming out
cabby poured the water over the pave
ment and on the tops OF the two umbrel-
las. The ladies, believing it to be raining
hard called for cabs at any price; and it
was only after they, got inside that the
trick was found out.-London Tit Bits
