DELIGHTFULLY."- ROMANTIC.
A Stage Held Up and Maid Carried on
by a Good Looking Bad Man.

by n Good Looking Bad Man.
Aromantic case of kidnapping occurred
the other day in the country back of
Mazatlan. The stage between Rosario
and Mazatlan, which left the former
place, stopped at 1 a. IN. the next day at
Aqua Caliente, where another passenger.
a young and pretty girl, was taken on.
She was Carlotta Newman, daughter Of
a poor blind woman living at Mazatlan.
There were two other passengers, a man
and woman.
The stage left Aqua Caliente at 2 a. m.
and had gone only couple of leagues
when the driver suddenly reined up at
call from the roadside, where four men
on horseback sat coolly pointing re-
volvers at his head. There was no de-
mcnd for coin, and from the quiet man
ner of the highwaymen the driver could
draw no idea of the nature of their de-
mands. While one man held a gun
pointed at the driver and another at
tended the horses the others dismounted,
stepped to the end of the coach and
courteously reqdested the young lady to
come out. The girl recognized the larger
man, magnificent looking fellow, as
Jose Valdez, her rejected lover, and di-
vining the plot she begged the passengers
to save her. Valdez warned them to do
nothing, and as they had no firearms
they dared not protest against the ac-
tions of the bold robbers
After urging Miss Newman to come
out without avail, Valdez and his COM
panion laid hold of her and carried her
to the horses, placing her upon one and
tying her to the saddle. The girls
shrieks and tears had no effect either in
anger. When they were again mounted
and ready to leave, Valdez turned to the
driver and said calmly, "Go, friend,
and excuse me for molesting you."
The driver lost no time in accepting
the permission, and the agitated passen-
gers inside did not breathe easily until
they saw the party, with the girl in the
center, gallop over a hill. The driver
and passengers reported the matter on
arriving at Mazatlsn and gave the
names of Librado and Bernardo Valdez
and Rufino Zatarain as the accomplices
Of Jose Valdez, the first two being his
cousins.
Valdez is dare devil and spendthrift,
and though of good family bears very
bad reputation. He was rejected by Miss
Newman, who is a highly respected girl
of American birth. The project of the
district of Concordia, in which Aqua Ca
liente is situated, has charge of party
of rurales searching for Valdez, and
strong efforts are being made to capture
the villain. His hiding place is unknown.

Her Bathing Toys,

The little boy was very much inter-
ested in picture that his sister had

was picture that had been taken Just
for the fun. of the thing and not for
distribution among her friends-one of
those pictures that girl keeps in her
own room where none but her intimates
may see it. This one showed the young
lady and her dearest friend'' on The
beach in bathing suits. Both of the
girls were pretty and had good figures
that the bathing suits showed to excel
lent advantage, but the picture seemed
to be a source of endless speculation to
the boy.
did you and Mamie wear them togs
at the seashore?" he asked one day.
"Of course we did," she replied.
Ibid you wear them short skirts and
stockin's SOS you could go in bathing?"
he persisted.
Certainly; what makes you ask such
a question:"

SIDE the latter. sBut before he could
stretch out a hand to prevent it Met
calfe's head went under. Grierson
dived at almost the same moment. The
boys in and around the boat held their
breath.
Something's wrong with Douglas.
He's taken cramp or something,
George Marchant said.
A minute went by, and they saw the
headD of both boys reappear, a yard OF
two further out. Grierson was sup
porting Metcalfe with his right arm.
I've cramp in my right leg and
arm,' Metcalfe said in a hoarse, low
voice. "Im afraid can t swim a stroke
farther myself"
"All right, try to tread water with
your other leg; it will help little.
Well be all right when we are once out
of this current, Grierson replied quiet
ly.
Yet Grierson knew that his task was
not going to prove an easy one. For
few minutes be made little or no head
way. Metcalfe hung upon his arm al
most like dead weight. Douglas was
doing his utmost to help himself, but
it availed very little, for, besides the
cramp which had attacked him, he was
exhausted by his efforts at first to over
take and outstrip Grierson.
Grierson struggled on, his burden
impeding every stroke he made and
lessening its effect. The boy felt his
own strength ebbing fast. Unless he
got out of the current in few minutes
more, he feared that all would be lost.
But he was making progress and could
see that the distance between the boat
and himself was lessening.
"A minute more, and we shall be in
smooth water" he whispered hoarsely
to Metcalfe.
AS he spoke Grierson changed Met
calfe from his left arm to his right and
used the left for swimming. This gave
him considerable ease and rest and his
next few strokes were freer and more
vigorous. And now he felt the current
decidedly lessening in force. He sum-
moned up all his remaining energy in
one last effort, and half dozen more
strokes brought him free of the current.

and now, too, they were met by George
Marchant and Frank Newlyn, who re-
lieved Grierson of his burden and took
Metcalfe between them. In this order
they reached the boat. There were
many outstretched arms to help them
in, and then the boat was towed to the
shore.
DR.. Metcalfe, the principal of Den
mark House and Douglas father, was
not little alarmed at what had hap
pened, though he did not show it. Both
boys were Immediately got to bed, and
prompt measures taken to restore
warmth and circulation to their chilled
and aching bodies. These had the de-
sired effect; in a day or two both Grier-
son and Metcalfe were back in class and
playground.
The latter took an early opportunity
of seeking Grierson alone.
Il have to thank you very much,
Grierson," he said "You saved my
life at the risk of your own; there's no
doubt about that. And the whole thing
was my fault too. am very sorry.
Will you accept my best thanks, and
try to forget my part in the matter?
I'll never forget yours"
why, of course" Grierson replied,
and there the matter ended. New York

The Congo Railroad.

The opening of the first section Of the
Congo railroad passed almost unnoticed
in this country, chiefly because it is due
to Belgian enterprise. But for all that.
British traders already realize the vast
possibilities involved and are actively
preparing to obtain share of the new
trade. The road at present extends from
Matadi to Kenge, and thence will be
pushed as rapidly as possible to Stanley
pool. The list of freight charges has
been published in the chief European
ports, and two British and one German
steamship line have made Matadi port
of call. 1t is confidently predicted that
Congo boom is about to commence,
and that King Leopold will soon be
within measurable distance of reward
for his courage and patience. London

The Singer Family Abroad.

1t is extraordinary how the Singer
family has managed to mix itself up with
the aristocracy of France. With moth
ing but huge fortune and large stock
of eccentricity the original old Singer
married no less than 10 women, cover
ing wide range of position and charac-
ter. He numbered his descendants by
the score, and these it is who have man
aged to ally themselves with some of the
proudest families in Europe. At the re-
cent wedding of Mrs. Winnaretta Singer
in Paris to Prince Melchior de Polignac
there was great gathering of the Singer
clans, and they bore such names as
Rochefoucauld, Decazes, Murat, Modena
and Dudley y.--Cholly Knickerbocker in

A Simnle Trick.

Cut out narrow strip of pasteboard
and join the ends together to form a
hoop. On the inner side of the hoop
fasten small weight, such as a metal
button. or a bit of sealing wax. Con-
struct an inclined plane by placing a
fiat ruler on a table, with one end rest
ing on a slight elevation, such as pile
of books. Place the hoop on the incline
in such a position that the weight may
be slightly in front of the highest point
of the hoop, in the direction of the top
of the incline.
On releasing the hoop it will be found
to at once roll up the incline, in SEEM
ing defiance of the law of gravity. 1t
will increase the mystery if instead of
hoop round pasteboard box is used,
having a similar weight on the inside.

but this year it seems to create more in

prevalence of the practice.

in lighting and swinging thurifers in the
churches of England that they seriously

An Old Goose.

1t is positively asserted that promi-
nent farmer living near Ellicott City,
Md, has in his possession goose which
has attained the rather astonishing age
of SO years. The bird was purchased by
its present owner in 1880, and was then
23 years old. 1t is as sprightly now, it
is stated, as any of the flock, and there
is nothing in its appearance to indicate
such an advanced age In discussion
by several old fowl fanciers here regard
ing the ages Of different birds it was af-
firmed that geese often lived to such an
age, and even longer period.

A gallant's toilet was no easy bust

doubt, got many an oath and blow if he
failed to tie up the points of the hose,
lace the doublet or arrange the stom-

satisfaction. A gentlemans dress had
SO many fastenings, there was so much
tying and lacing of his garments to-
gether. that it was impossible that he
should ever get cosfumed (sic) without
assistance. The long hose had to be Sc
curely tied by number of latchets to
the doublet; the doublet itself was laced

slashed to show the shirtsleeves, had

smokeless Powder Ruins Guns.

There seem to be some very serious
drawbacks in the usefulness of the
smokeless powder, on which the mill
tary authorities of the world have ex-
pended SO much money lately. One of
the latest discovered of these is that in
some way it Injuries the guns in which
it is used. A French newspaper says
that the powder has done great damage
to the steel guns of the Italian army;
that at least 500 pieces of artillery have
been rendered practically useless by it..
