There is a good story OF George Will
liam Curtis, which seems never TO have
been published He was lecturing on
a Buffalo stage once, when suddenly
a heavy rope somehow broke loose
from It's moorings in the flies above
and dropped with a tremendous thud
to the floor behind the speaker. Mr..
Curtis looked around in mild surprise
TO see what had happened, then, turn
ing to the alarmed audience again,
said, with twinkle in his eye: "Ah,
that must have been the thread OF my
discourse" Somebody on a front seat
caught the joke first and broke out in
a chucSle, which instantly developed
into a roar OF laughter from the whole
house. 1t was a good many minutes
before the thread of that discourse
could be resumed. -Buffalo Express

ADMIRED HIS FATHER.
The study and Ambition of the King OF
Rome In Young Manhood.

The study and Ambition of the kim OF
Rome In Young Manhood.
The duke OF Ragusa, Marshal Mar
mont, in his memoirs, describes the duke
OF Reiohstadt rs taller than his father,
OF the same complexion, with smaller
and deeper eyes. He adds that the re-
semblance was in the lower part Of the
face. Marmont met the young man at
n ball in Vienna, and was eagerly ques-
toned upon the great Napoleon's cam
paigns. The young duke expressed
his love for military life, and begged
that his fathers lifelong friend and
fellow-soldier would instruct him In
strategy.
France and Austria will one day be
allies" he said, land their armies will
fight side by side" II was his only
hope, for he assured Marmont that he
would never fight against the French,
because his father had forbidden Il.
But before agreeing TO instruct him,
Marmont thought it necessary 10 con-
suit Prince Metternioh. The great
diplomatist, however, consented 20 the
lessons, insisting only that the fathers
faults should be told as well as his vir-
tues.
Before the instruction began the
young duke himself suggested that II
would be best TO secure the approval Of
Prince Metternich, and was delighted
10 learn that there was no objection
upon the part of the Austrian minister.
The old marshal declares that the
boys thoughts were all of his father,
whom he regarded almost with wor-
ship; and in the story Of Napoleon's life
he was interested beyond measure. Well
he might be. None knew the story bet
ter than the marshal, who had been
Napoleon's friend and comrade-in-arms
from the days when, as a young lieu
tenant, Bonaparte directed the siege OF
Toulon, TO the end Of the empire and
downfall Of the great emperor
Imagine what IL was TO hear that
wonderful story from the lips Of an
actor in ito learn at once the life Of
. father and the most dazzling career Of
modern timesl
For three months the lessons contin-
ued; and when the story was ended,
the young duke asserted; Father and
mother should never have left Paris

AT the first battle Of Chancellors-
ville," said the general, "a confederate
sharpshooter concealed in large tree
considerable distance from the union
headquarters killed Gen. Whipple as he
was walking along the road at a COM
paratively safe distance from the
enemy. A big Minnesotan, who stood
over six feet high and whose smiling
face was as innocent looking as that of
an infant, had been watching the puffs
of smoke from the southern soldiers
rifle concealed in the treetop. He had
also observed the sad havoc among his
brother officers and men, who had be-
come victims of the rifleman's unerring
aim, and determined TO drop the south
erner. He could not see the concealed
foe, but commenced firing through the
branches of the tree, up and down, fol-
lowing parallel lines, much after the
fashion of farmer planting a field OF
corn.
"Finally one of his shots caused the
riheman in gray to come sprawling
from the tree in squirrel fashion, and,
turning TO me, the giant soldier from
Minnesota said in the blandest manner,
with perfect baby smile; 4 fetched

CHAPTER XIV.

l shall never forget the deep anxiety
with which l awaited tho coming-on Of
the night, my foverish restless
ness. tho exultation with which / con-
templatod my scheme, the miserable
snguish with which / forcboded its
failure.
II was like tossing Il coin-the cry in
volving life or dcathl
II Stevens detected the stratagem,
my life was not worth rush-iight,
and the thoughts of Mary Robertson
falling victim TO the rage of the crew
was more than my mind could DO got
TO bear upon.
Stevens came OH dock at four o'clock
IN the afternoon, and, that might con-
verse with tho boatswain without fear
OF mourning tho carpenters suspicion,

some o. them do dress right up to tho
hammer, and would deceive their own
mothers"
"Are tho matches off for ardP"
you leave that to mo, Mr. Royle.
That'll BIO all right"
"What weapon have you gotP"
"Only bar of iron the size OF my
leg" he answered, grimly. II
Should't like to drop 1t on my foot by
secident."
We brought our hurried conversation
TO close by perceiving the carpenter
staring at us steadfastly through the
elylightj ond, whispering that every
