A mail carrier, in passing Mr.
brakes Office, heard groans within
and upon entering found the official
lying upon the floor, bruised and in n
semi-conscious condition.
I've been robbed by two men
said Mr.. Drake feebly, and the open
sack, overturned valisc and scattered
papers confirmed his statement
Mr. Drake had evidently received
rough treatment. Big welts on his
head bore evidence of savage blows
lie had but little to say, but the sum
of $4,000 was mentioned as missing,
and it was soon understood that the
robbers had made away with that
amount
The assault occurred about : o'clock
in the morning, when there were but
few people IN the building. No one
about the place remembers of having
seen suspicious characters and dense
mystery surrounds-<he affair, which
is one of the boldest robberies that
has occurred in Chicago for years.
Drake was struck as he was leaving
the vault as the position in which he
was found on the floor indicated. lie
could give no very accurate descrip-
tion of the robbers, but indicated that
they were heavy men and wore large
ulsters While he lay semi-conscious
on the floor the robbers unlocked h is
valise and scooped the pay envelopes
into the large pockets of their ulsters.
This required but moment and the Y

Cures Constipation
Married by instruments.

There is an odd story told by Nor
folk (England) vicar OF one Of his
parishioners who was married by in
stalmentS He had gone to church
with his bride, and had expressed his
readiness to forsake al others and
keep only to her as long as they both
should live.
When it came to the young wOman'S
turn, however she was not SO minded.
No persuasion could make her agree
to her share of the bargain. Plead.
ing and storming were alike In vain,
and at last the intended couple left
the church no more to each other
than when they entered it. The
village people stared To find that the
would-be bridegroom was an even
more ardent lover after this incident
than before it.
He laid steady siege to the heart Of
the tickle fair one, and at last induced
her to go to church with him again.
HIS scheme was to get her there and
leave her in the lurch, as she had left
him Unluckily for its success, he
had taken loose-tongued cvsarade
into his confidence.
The vicar had got wind of IL and
was prepared. To the horror Of the
conspirator, he proposed to take up
the marriage service where it was
left off on the former occasion. and
getting ready assent from the young
woman to fulfill the condiditions she
had previously declined, went on
without hiRdrance to the end, and
bound the disguised bridegroom
tightly to the expected object Of his re-
venge.
This wss great sport to tdo ricar,
but no laughing matter to the poor
wretch who found the Joke turned so
completely against himself. The
vicar never moved muscle, although
inwardly he must have been explod-
ing. His levity leaned to virtues
side. Was it not inflicting proper
punishment on the mind who would
have made fool Of his parson and a
mockery of the marriage service to
pay an old score? Was he not guard
ing the sanctity of the marriage ~cere-
mony from vulgar ribaldry? Prob

Furnishing the young woman much
more effectually than If he had let
