The story goes that Wellington used
to ride over daily with one or two Of
his staff, from his headquarters at st.
Jean-de- Luz and take his stand on the
top Of a wooded sand hillock, called
Blanc Pignon, on the left bank Of the
Adour, which commands a view Of both
banks and the town itself, two miles
upstream, says Macmillan's Magazine.
This had been noticed by the French,
who had still command Of the river

Gus sailor aforesaid, Bourgeois by
name, conceived the plan Of entrapping
the great English captain by lying in
ambush for him, with a few men,
among the underground on the sand
dune, which happened to be on neutral
ground just outside the line Of French
pickets. Gen. Thouvenot very honor
ably declined to sanction this tricky
proceeding, but, seeing through his
glasses from the clock tower Of the ca
thedral in Bayonue that 1t was actually
being carried out Notwithstanding his
disapproval, he sent mounted orderly
as fast as he could gallop down the
road on the left bank Of the river (the
present site of the Allees marlnes), past
the French pickets, to warn yelling
ton Of his danger. The message was
just in time. When within short dis
lance Of the ambush awaiting him on
the narrow little track winding Up the
sand dune he turned his horse and
moved quietly off in another direction.

CONCLUSION.

A warm, honest heart and a generous
nature will cover a multitude Of sins
or let us say errors-especially in a grand
mamma. Over that baby's cradle the
hearts of the two women, young Mrs.
Jardine and old Mrs Jardine, soon came
to meet in the most wond, rful way; as
they met, too, over another thing, or
rather person-often m endless ''bone of
contention" between mOther-in-law and
daughter-in-law when they happen to be
weak, selfish or jealous women, which
these were not-the man whom each loved
best of all the world
Rodemck's wife and mother, however
opposite their characters, had certain
points in common, out of which grew an
unmistakable sympathy, namely, strength
of will and thoroughness of purpose,
great sincerity and affectiOnateness, the
power Of self-devotion and an entire alb
sence of that petty egotism which is al
ways on the watch to guard its own
rights, and has no vision for anybody's
rights except its own. Besides, meeting
her son afresh, rs it were, with that great
gulf of sorrow between, which had sore

him now a map--a husband and father
in many ways very different from the
'boy'' she had been accustomed to think
him. Mrs Jardine had the sense to accept
the position and make the best of it.
For lor sons wife-the poor lamb" as
she had called her, and whom, as Roder-
icli afterward found out, her good sense,
frmness and devoted care, coming in at
the last ebb of hope, had greatly CON
tributed to save from death-Mrs. Jar
dine took to loving her, as strong natures
are prone to love those whom they have
saved and who depend upon them, as for
many days Silence had to depend upon
her practical mother-in-law, in that total,
sweet heplessness which was the very
best thing to win the old woman's heart.
She was an old woman now-no doubt
about it-and years ripen and sweeten
many women to an almost incredible de-
gree. Besides, as Silence often whispered
20 her husband when little things Jared
upon him and irritated him, she was his
mother, and she loved him, in her own
odd way, perhaps, but with a love Of
which there could be no doubt and no
denial. Still, even love can work no mira
cles, nor blend together opposing natures,
characters and lives into sudden and
everlasting harmony; and when, having
nursed her Child" as she called Silence,
into comparative health, and given her
grandehild his graudfather's name, Mrs
Jardine proposed to go home, earnestly
begging her son to leave Blackhall and

Mr.. Howolls Thinks They Earn Their
Money Even II Not Heard.
1t may be doubted whether a balladlst
who is not making himself heard is
not earning his money; but, on the
other hand, 1t may be asked IL he Is
not less regrettable for that reason,
writes w. d. Howels. A great many
good people do not earn their money,
and yet by universal consent they seem
to have right to do 1t. We cannot
oblige the poor to earn their money any
more than the rich, without attacking
the principle on which society Is based,
and CHASING ourselves with its enemies.
If people get money out of other peo-
pie, we ought not to ask how they
get 1t, whether 1t Is much or little; and
I, at any rate, will not scan too closely
the honesty of the inaudible balladist
Of the avenue. Neither will question
the gains Of those silentlous minstrels
who grind small, mute organs at the
corners Of the pavement, with q little
tin cup beside them to receive tribute.
They are usually old, old women, and l
suppose Italians; but they seem not to
be very distinctly anything. How they
can sit upon the cold stone all day
long without taking their deaths, passes
me to say; and am inclined to think
that they do really earn their money,
II not as MINISTRIES, then as monuments
Of human endurance. The average
American grandmother would sneeze in
five seconds, under the same conditions,
and be laid up for the rest of the win
ter. But these hardy aliens remain
unaffected by cold or wet, light or
dark.
One night came upon one sleeping
on her curbstone-such small, dull
wad OF outw0rn womanhood!-her gray
old head bent upon her knees, and her
withered arms wound in her thin shawl.
1t was very chill that night, with a
sharp wind sweeping the street that the
street department had neglected; but
this poor old thing slept on, while |
stood by her, trying to imagine her
short and simple annals; dim, far-oir
childhood, in some pleasant hut, a girl
hood with its tender dreams, q mother
hood with its cares, a grandmotherhood
with its pains, the whole round Of
woman's life, with want through all,
wound into this last result Of houseless
age at my feet How much of human
life comes to no more-if indeed one
ought not to say how little comes to 80
much! l sighed, as people of feeling
used to do in the eighteenth century,
and dropped a dime into the tin cup.
The sound startled the beldam, and |
hope that before she awoke and looked
up at me she had time to dream riches
and luxury for the rest Of her life.
bella musical l said with fine irony,
and she smiled and shrugged, and be-
gan to feel for the handle Of her organ,
as If she were willing to begin giving
me my moneys worth on the spot. II
we did not see such sights every day,
how impossible they would seem!

TAMPAs NEEDS.
Asking Congress for Public Build
ing and n Dry Dock.

Tampa, Fla, Dec. 4.-The people of Tam
pa have two favors to ask of the con-
gress now in session, namely. the erec>
lion in Tampa Of a S1500O0 federal build
ing and a government dry dock. 1t seems
very probable that the federal building
can be secured, as the receipts at the
custom house have for the past fiscal
year exceeded 100000 But the govern
ment dry dock is less Of a certainty. The
Fifty-second congress, during its first ses,
sion, recommended that a dry dock be
built at some point on the shores of the
Gulf of Mexico, or the waters connected
Herewith. A commission, appointed by
the President, made a thorough eXamina-
tion of the Gulf harbors in reference to
their commercial Importance and the
means of their defense in case of war.
In selecting a site for a government dry
dock two objects are kept in view, name
1y, clear channel to the sea Of a depth
of at least twenty-siX feet, and the pro-
lection for a distance at least of twelve
miles by intervening elevation OF the
ground from gun fire from the sea-
Fortunately for Tampa, of the three
harbors of Florida that were inspected.
Pensacola, Tampa and Key West, Tampa
alone offers a site at a sufficient dis
lance from gun fire But unfortunately
for Tampa, only twenty-one feet can be
carried over the bar at mean tide, while
twenty-siX is necessary. An estimate OF
the cost of constructing jetties across the
outside bar, made by ]. W. Sackett, United
States assistant engineer, places the
amount required at $2,74S.OO The cost
of dredging a channel from the Gulf TO
Piney Point, where the Plant system
docks are now located is estimated at
S64SO making 81 total of 1886, 900. II
seems very doubtful whether the govern
ment viii think best to expend over three
and one-third millions on Tampa bay at
present. At the same time Tampa bay
offers, by reason of its situation on the
east coast of the Gulf and its proximity
TO the West Indies, a site of great STRAIT
egic, as well as commercial, Importance.
An ordinance was passed at the last
meeting of the city council providing for
the issuance of certificates of indebted
ness in lieu of the city scrip now out
standing, said certificates to be paid in
six equal payments, first payment to be
made on Jan. /, 1897, with interest at the
rate of per cent. per annum.
The Tampa Bay hotel was opened to the
public last Saturday. There were 200 reg
istered guests Sunday.
The new society paper the Qui Vive,
which will appear about Jan. !, will be cir
culated all over the country. Copies will
be sent each week to $500 hotels in the

cry of the Nature OF the Checks
Followed by the Mans Arrest.
Atlanta. Ga. Dec 1.-THE local detec-
tives think they have a genuine true
blue crook locked up at last in the person
of a sick-looking individual giving his
name as H. f. RheubottOm, who was
arrested this morning at / O'Clock at the
Alcazar hotel, where he has been stop
ping for several days past. The COM.
plainant against the prisoner is Henry A.
Cassin. cashier Of the Georgia loan
and Savings Bank A few days since
Rheubottom deposited several checks with
the Georgia Loan Bank. These were sign
ed with the firm name of Callins & Co,
of 20S St Charles avenue, New Orleans.
Two were on the Exchange Bank of
Waynesboro. Miss, and have the sigma
ture Of L. Piper Another was on the
American National Bank of Denver.
Rheubottom attempted 10 check against
this deposit, but the checks We're found
10 be worthless. After communication
with New Orleans and Mr.. Cassin re-
ported the matter to Detective BureaW.
According to what the detectives say,
Rheubottom came here some time since
and has been posing as
capitalist. He stated that he want
ed to purchase $1,000 or 81
coo worth of city bonds, and had deal
under way by which the transaction would
have been completed to-day had he not
been arrested.
When Rheubottom was taken 20 the STA
ton house two grips and a bundle OF
papers which were found in his room az
The AlcaZar, were then taken along, ana
when these Were searched many checks,
blank safe for the signature, were found.

that the prisoner is the forerunner OF
gang of bank Wreckers from New Or
leans, and that extensive operations had
been planned in this city The detectives
are close-mouthed about the case ana
strict orders have been issued to allow no
one to converse with the prisoner.
