gan, it ceased, and the silence and dark.
ness seemed more oppressive than ever by
contrast. 1 was very curious to know
what manner of bird it could be that
would thus sing in captivity during the
hours of darkness and when the watch
man next put in appearance asked him
concerning the matter. He told mo it was
an Australian nightingale
From $3.50, when the bird ceased sing

found. Not a sound reached me from the
street outside. Only that now and again,
my ear caught the muffled tread of a watch

About 5 o'clock the sleeping city outside
began to awaken, and my spirits rose per-
ceptibly, especially as 1 knew that the
hour Of my release was at hand and when
at length the welcome chimes rang out and
my vigil was ended felt as light hearted
as if the night had been spent in ball
room with friends instead of in an under

Nevertheless was pleased to breathe
once more the fresh morning air and see
around me the familiar sights and listen
to the well known sounds of London life.
The milkman on his rounds; the brisk,
sharp step of the postman; the work girl
hurrying to her days toil-all seemed to
take on a new and more vivid significance
after my eight hours immurement. Even
the cabman who drove me home seemed
more rubicund and jovial than the ordi-

TALES OF TIE TIMES.
Story of the Chitral That Reads Like q
Chapter of Scripture.


Chapter of Scripture.
A wounded Afghan who was captured
after the taking of the fort of Chitral has
given to Major Dcane, the political officer,
n most vivid account of the destruction Of
the pontoon bridge leading to the fort by
the launching of heavy logs Of wood upon
the river to wreck the bridge, and of the
terror created among the hillmen by u star
shell fired into the Afghan camp; for when
the star shell bursts it shows brilliant
light, wildly illuminating the surround
ing country.
The Afghans claim to be u remnant of
the children of Israel, and tho account
which the wounded man gives reads like u
chapter of the Scriptures. 1t runs thus:
/. Behold the logs of wood rushed down
the river, and broke the floating roadway
of the foreigners into pieces
2. The Afghan wGtchmen signaled the
news from hill to hill, and the tribes gath
cred for the fight.
g. The soldiers Of the invading army
were separated from their fellows, and
seemed to be delivered into our hands.
4. Then our priests came and preached
unto us the righteousness of our cause.
They said that the Almighty was ever
mindful of his children and would given
ms bloodlcss victory, even as he did to the
prophet upon whom be peace) on the day
of l}adar.
3. Moreover, they told us God had given
us one thousand rifles and much powder
and shot within our reach.
6. The words of the priests and the re
mcmbrancc of what God did for the proph-
ct at Badar excited us greatly.
T. We saw the English ascending from
the river bank, and marching toward us
s. Victory seemed certain.
8. But the English fired their guns
among us, and many were stricken and
fell.
10. Then the rulers took counsel to-
gethcr and decided that wo should creep up
to our enemies in tho night and fall upon
them in tho still hours when tho sky is
darkest.
II. Two hundred tried warriors went
forth to creep up secretly to the camp Of
the unbclievcrs. We lay for two hours on
the grass of the wet fields, waiting patient
ly until the command to advance was Civ
en- by our captains.
12. Then the word came round from cap
tain to captain that the believers must be
ready, and every man took his weapon,
and slowly and without noise advanced
upon the enemy.
10. When, behold a gun of one of the
hated inndcls doomed forth, and 10, instead
of balls and bullets, there burst over the
army of the Moslcms a great light with
mighty thunderings, and we thought night
had been turned into day.
II. We cried unto the Lord for mercy.
10. Then the great light faded away,
The priests had fled, and we were in the
hands of the infldcls, and l lay a helpless
man, wounded and at the point of death.

A 90 Cent Fiddle.

A curious story of violin and its vicis-
STUDIES is told by VIII r. Dickerson of
Minneapolis. About ten yearsago the Dick
inson company had 90 cent sale. Dick
erson, who was young fellow at that
time, with n penchant for music and a
turn for tinkering, bought at the sale a
violin, which he took home with him.
Together with his chum he went to work
on the instrument, took it to pieces, and
after giving it "a thorough Overhauling he
scratched the initials 'W R. d. " on the in
side Of the back and put it together. A
good job was done, for in a short time the
newly put together violin was sold for So
A second time the violin was taken to
pieces by the second purchaser and put to-
gether, new coat of varnish being added
Still another advance in price was efTec' ed

all trace of it was lost for some time but
one day while passing pawnshop Mr.
DickersOn beheld violin in the window
which he thought he recognized He went
into the shop and asked to see it. 1t proved
to be the old 90 cent violin, and there on
the back were the initials which he had
scratched there two or three years before
The pawn dealer told him that it had been
brought into the shop by man who had
evidently come from the woods, and who,
after protracted stay in the city, had be-
come completely strapped. He had ad-
vanced 81. 80 on the violin, and it had nev-
