slip by unimproved, he took Off one OF
the cavalry boots, and with an old knife
commenced to cut the leg into long
string. His plan for proceeding was to
drop o slip moose over the muzzle of the
gun and then draw it up to his window,
where it could easily be taken between
the iron bars. He would great deal
rather have dropped the moose about the
neck Of the sleeping sentry, but he knew
this would only result in his being placed
in stricter confinement, with less oppor-
tunity there for effecting an escape.
AS the leather was cut inch by inch
the prisoner all at once came upon
piece that was split, and moment later
the opesing revealed a piece of brown
paper. The look Of surprise on the face
of Jacques Desmoulins would have made
fortune for photographer could he
have produced it. All thoughts of the
sleeping sentinel had faded from his
mind, and unfolding the piece of paper
he anxiously looked at the drawing on it.
By the faint light of the moon which
made its way into his cell he was able to
see quite distinctly. Below the little
chart indicating the points of the COM
paA were deciphered the following
words:
LA CoNCIERGERIE, CELL No. 10.
Having discovered an opening to an under
ground passage leading from this cell. leave
diagram sccreted In ply boot leg showing where
the opening may be found. Being summoned
before hetribunel to answer charges brought
against me as u traitor, prefer to appear there
fbart or
will prove my innocence. This bequeath to
La Conciergerie, trusting it may fall into the
hands of some unfortunate prisoner and be tho
means of effecting his escape.
GENERAL LoUIsPIERRE DUMoURIER.
1t was not long before Jacques Des-
moulins had solved the little diagram.
With the blade of his knife he loosened
the earth in the crevices between two
large stones which formed part of the
wall to the cell. Placing his weight
against one of them, the beads Of per-
spiration pouring out upon his forehead
and his hands trembling with excite
ment, the stone turned and disclosed a
cavity beyond. He lost little time in
entering it, and groping his way
through the passage at length came out
on the slope below the prison wall.
AS he looked back he saw the sleeping
form of the sentry. A moment he
stopped to consider the bold idea which
had come to him, then softly crept to
wherethe soldier lay. He took the mus
ket lying against the wall of the prison
and brought the butt down upon the
head of his victim, stunning him with
the first blow. A moment later and he
had donned the clothes of the sentry and
was making his way as rapidly as posi-
BILE from La Conoiergerie.
The stone walls of the prison never
saw Jacques Desmoulins again, for gain
ing the coast in safety he shipped on
board an outward vessel for America. 1t
was years afterward, when he had be-
come Citizen of the United States, that
he related to the father of the writer the
events recorded in this story.-Ex-

THE HAPPY ISLES.

( Forever has the Eden dream
FlaAhod on the vision Of the race.
And happy islands ever CLEAN,
, With purple hills and glinting stream.
In some unknown and wondrous place.
30 once beheld the Grecian sage
The great republic" Of his thought,
And, handed down from age to age,
BIS story gilds the classic page
In modern school and college taught,
The fancy Of Sir Thomas More
Again explored Utopian realm,
Where oven scales stern justice bore;
Where mankind shared common store,
And freedom manned the civic helm. .
Yet rolls the world In ancient line,
Though dreamer dream and poet sing.
Though prophets tell In words divine
The glories OF the coming time,
When Right shall rule and Love be king.
The happy islands that we seek
Are only lodged in hearts Of men
Whose chivalry befriends the weak;
Who know the truth and dare to speak
BY earnest word or candid pen.
--T. K. Foster In Boston Leader.

Conservative NIethods of Travel.


To leave the world of today and float
back into past era, an era undisturbed
by the telegraph or the telephone, ho-
tel elevator or changing electric car, is
an experience that many tired people
would rejoice in-for q week. But it is
doubtful if they would be willing to give
up the conveniences of modern life for a
longer period. In steamboat ride from
st. Louis to New Orleansi slept like
child all night and mentioned the fact
at the breakfast table. Every one smiled
when / said that the boats noise did not
disturb me.
"Why, we tied up to tree all night"
said the clerk, 'and did not move yard
until an hour ago."
l had not been long enough in the at
mosphere Of Mississippi travel to avoid
worrying aborIt the loss of whole night
while we were tied up to the shore.
There had been fog. ! was told, and to
proceed would have been dangerous.
Yet was bound for New Orleans Mar
di Gras and had only time TO make it
according to the boats schedule. But
nad not fathomed a tithe of the mystic
ries of river travel.
''It's too bad we're 80 late," / said to
the steward.
I'VE amt late," said he.
II thought we laid up over night,
said.
80 we did," said he, "but that amt
goin to make any difference. We don't
run so close to time as all that"
Nothing mado any difference or gave
any cause for trouble--not even hitching
up to the river bank now and then for a
night or .-Hnrper's.
