Kent then began u free and sassy
explanation to which Laport paid very
little attention. He approached the
subject of his inquiry, the governor
thought. with great tact, and then
asked one or two unimportant ques-
tions.
The only answer the man made was
to turn to the governor.
'Is there anything in my conduct"
he said. Ito warrant you in infiicting
this extra punishment on me? Send
me back to my work"
I'm inclined,'' said the governor,
'.to put you in dark cell for week

macy. I've treated you altogether too
we'll, old man"
The old man gave a slight shrug Of
his shoulders. but was silent.
Kent began to apologize -or lin,
and. as coaxingly as he could, asked
him several more questions. To one of
them he growled out a sullen no"
and was on the point of saying some
thing else when one OF the guards

The next day the governors family

companied them. He proved on this
occasion to be the life of the little
party. There seemed to be nothing
that he could not do, from making an
omelette in the woods to making a
speech to the children. The governor
Was really quite proud of his guest.
Kent had now been three days inside
the prison jurisdiction, and how we'll
| he had improved his time appeared
afterwards. When they were coming
home from the picnic he told Mrs.
Ixtel that he had overstayed his time
and must finish up his business on the
morrow. If the governor would lock
him up with Laport he thought he
could make the fellow confidential.
The upshot of all this was that on
the fourth day Kent was taken to La
ports cell, carrying nothing but a
pencil and pad which the governor had
furnished him, and jocu1arly remark.
ing as he was going through the cor
ridor that they ought to search him
first, for he might have some files about
him and let that rascal out to teach the
world a golden silence.
The governor laughed. as he now did
at almost everything Kent said, and
only remarked: IF he gets away from
me. I'll take all the blame
''All right" rejoined Kent, but. as
you value human life, don't forget to
let me out inside of the half hour.
Make it twenty minutes"
They entered the cell together. La
port was sitting on the stone floor with
his head between his knees. He
neither rose nor looked up as they came
in. The place was dimly lit by one
embrasure. 1t was furnished with an
iron pallet and pail.
Kent went toward the light. and
looked at 4 large gold watch. 1T is

Laport looked up and addressed him
self to the governor:
Are you going to put this lunatic

Laport dropped his head between his
hands. The governor gave a shrug
and turned to the door. I've heard of
squeezing pig-lead out of sponge" he
said. Its holiday work to squeezing
that old bundle of scrap-iron.''

sat down on the iron bed.
The governor then went out Kent
heard the great bolt shot with an iron

He listened. He heard the retreat

A USEFUL PRANK.

Young Man.

It Proved to be the Making of One
Young Man.
A jolly party of Yale students camped
out in the Vermont woods, near the
border of the state, for midsummer
sport. Returning to camp one after
noon along a lonely road, they met a
backwoods Canadian boy, who was
jogging along with blind horse pull
ing blackboard.
This must be native" whispered
mischievous collegian. LET us guy
him by talking Latin.
AS the boy approached, the wag
bowed ceremoniausly, and delivered
sonoriously passage from Cicero
which he had once acclaimed at school.

doing their best to look like Roman
senators.
The boy stopped his horse and sur
veyed the group with establishment.
Il do not understand the language
which you are speaking" he finally
stammered.
The orator continued his fierce in
vective against an imaginary Catiline.
while his companions solemnly ex-
pressed their approval in such ejacu-
lations as ''Tempus regit." HE, haec.

They boy, perceiving that they were
making butt of him, drove on. fol-
lowed by chorus of laughter and
shout from the leader:
Have your Latin about you the next
time you meet gentlemen
1t was fooliah prank which the col
1egians speedily forgot. Not one of
them had an idea that anything would
come of it.
The Canadian lad had an errand to
do for his father at the nearest village.
He asked the owner of the crossroads
store curious question:
DO you know Latin?'
NO. 1 may be buried in the woods
but am not a dead Roman"
Then Latin is dead language"

Il want to learn it. Have you any
Latin book in the store?'
Strange to say, there was an old Latin
grammar in a cupboard in the store
keepers house. 1t was an old-fashioned
textbook.
You can have it," said the store
keeper, but you will never learn to
read a word of it,
The boy took the book and drove
home to his fathers cabin. He never
saw the collegians again. but for years
that Latin grammar was his constant
companion. In some mysterious way.
possibly by having it constantly under
his pillow, he learned to read it and to
conjugate the verbs.
A sportsman who heard his story adj
vised him to go across the border and
earn his living in some college town
where he could continue his studies.
The lad went to Rochester, supported
himself in preparatory school and en-
tered the university there. What is
more, he became Latin prize man, re-
markably proficient in the classics and
made a fine record for scholarship. He
studied law and was successful in his
profession.

current of whole life. The young

ORIGIN Of THE DIAMOND.
The Opinions Of Two Scientists Who DIFF.
fer on the Question.

The Opinions Of Two Scientists Who Diff
fer on the Question.
AS usual upon disputed points, specu.
lation has been busy about the origin
of the diamond. and a number Of
theories, all more or less probable,
have been propounded to set the mat
ter at rest. The two most reasonable
expositions are, perhaps. the explana-
tions put forward by NJ. Parrot and
Baron Liebig.
The former scientist, who has labo-
riously Investigated the perplexing sub
ject, is of the opinion that the diamond
arises from the operation of violent
volcanic heat on small particles of car
bon contained in the rock, or on q sub
stance composed of large proportion
of carbon and smaller quantity of
hydrogen.
By this theory, as he conceives, we
are best able to account for the cracks
and flaws SO often noticed in the gem,
and the frequent occurrences of in
cluded particles of black carbonaceous
matter.
Baron Liebig, on the other hand,
claims the credit Of Offering a simple
explanation Of the probable process
which actually takes place in the for
nation of the diamond. His conten-
ton is that science can point to no
process capable of accounting for the
origin and production of diamonds ex-
cept the powers of decay.
If we suppose decay to proceed in a
liquid containing carbon and hydro
gen. then compound with still more
carbon must be formed; and if the
compound thus formed were itself to
undergo further decay. the final result,
says this eminent authority, must be
the separation of carbon in a crystal.

event of which it is necessary briefly
to make mention here occurred exact

In the winter of IS occurred the
revolution in Venezuela known as the
Vargas rebellion. A Spanish bark,

bought in England, encountered a
heavy storm while off the Gulf of Mar

past Point Gallinas, and the captain,
in order to relieve his craft, threw over
at fiood-tide two four-inch breech-
loading rif1ed steel guns, az a point
called the Bahiata Bank. The mate Of

This tale is told in the orient: A lady
one day found man following her, and
she asked him why he did SO. His reply
was, "You are very beautiful, and I am
in love with you" "Oh, you think me
beautiful, do you? There is my sister; over
there. You will find her much more beau
tiful than 1 am. Go and make love to
her." On hearing this the man went to
see the sister, but found she was very
ugly, so he came back in an angry mood
and asked the lady why she had told him
a falsehood She then answered, why
did you tell me falsehoods" The man
was surprised at this accusation and asked
when he had done SO. Her answer was:
You said you loved me. If that had
been true, you would not have gone to
make love to another woman. San
