express object Of taking him up. and
would In a few minutes more have been
driven TO make the offer himself. II Dick
had not come forward.
The colonel had foreseen that this
man. who could alone give any clew TO
the direction OF the De Montauts'
flight. must sooner or later be run down
and questioned by Dick. and he there
fore used him as the surest agent for
decoying the latter along the way he
wished him 20 take.
The man followed his instructions
well. and Dick found II impossible to
get more out of him than an admission
that he was going that day as far as
Guildford. IL was. at any rate. some
thing 10 know this. and Dick resolved
TO go TO Guildford too.
With this object he patiently endured
some time the joltings OF the wagon.
but when the coach passed he was glad
to stop II and secure a more comfort
able seat and a quicker journey for the
remainder OF the way. He intended to
lie I'm walt for the wagner on his ar
rival In Guildford. and, IL necessary. to
travel with him again on the following
day.
The coach stopped In front OF the
White Lion In Guildford High street.
Dick dismounted and began TO ques-
ton the hostler to find out II the De
Montauts had passed through or were
staying in the town. He was unsuc-
cessful in his inquiries, and was about
to turn away disappointed. when he
heard some one asking for him by
name.
He looked round and saw a man on
horseback. with a small valise in front
Of him upon the saddle.

asked.

man. touching his cap.

which was covered with foam and
dust. He lifted the valise down, and
took letter from the saddle bag.
THAT is for you, sir" he said. and
handed IL to Dick, who opened II In as
leisurely a fashion as IL he knew its
contents already, and betrayed not
sign OF the tempest of wonder and ex-
element that was raging within him.

women's Work In England.

A political salon will reappear under
the Salisbury regime. The Duchess of
Devonshire will resume her entertain
ments during the short period after
parliament opens, and Lady Salisbury,
the Duchess of Portland and Mrs.
Chamberlain, all notable society pow

Selkirk, Lady Hardman, Lady Knight
Ley of Fausley. Lady Colchester, Lady

Cupld's Bullets.

There are many reasons for mans
marrying, but that which caused John
(Boss) Walters to embark in married
life is perhaps most out of the ordi-
nary. Walters went home recently
feeling good, and CHANGING to meet a
girl in his doorway, the idea struck him
that she would make a good mark for
him to practice on with his revolver.
He didn't wait to consider, but at once
got out his gun and began shooting.
Naturally, he was arrested and taken
before Judge Gregg. He then tried
every way to induce the girl not to
prosecute him, but they all failed, and
she swore that she wo.id have him in
dicted and sent to the pen for his little
trick. Through mutual friend, how
ever, the lassie conveyed the informa-
ton to him that she would cease to
prosecute If he would marry her. John
was not anxious to marry, but there
was no choice, and they were pro-
nounced man and wife.-Ex.

A Valuable Counterfeit.

Sometimes" says a Philadelphia
barkeeper. "a bad coin is very good
thing to have. We had brass 1O-cent
piece here for two years that was worth
81 a week to the bar / knew the man
from whom II was taken, and. of course,
gave IL back in change. He was a good
customer before, but much better after
ward. Ten times a week he would
come in and either give me that brass
coin or get 1t given to him. One day
the proprietor looked through the
drawer. and, finding the bogus coin,
threw 1t away When i told him that
II was worth $50 year to the house he
kicked himself. We not only lost the
coin, but the customer as well. lie
felt hurt because i couldn't give him
our pet piece"

seems to suit their pretty daintiness
so we'll as the snow-white, fur-trimmed
rigs they wear so universally nova
days.
A cunning little sprite, who wears the
dignified name OF Dorothy, and who
claims two and half years as the por-
ton OF her time spent on earth, is a
most bewitching sight in her snowy
cloak, hat and furs. She looks like
an invigorated snowflake. Shaggy,
silky white astrakhan forms the body
OF her short cloak, which barely covers
the chubby knees. 1t is doube-breast-
ed, and cut much as our umbrella skirts
are. to flare all about in a succession OF
godets, while 1t fits the small shoulders
smoothly. Immense mother-of-pearl
buttons fasten il down the front. The
sleeves are big puffs reaching to the
wrist, the thickness OF the material
keeping them out in very smart way.
1t has ripple shoulder cape of white
angora, decorated about the neck with
lot of tiny heads. The large muff
is all softly lined with pale rose-colored
velvet, to keep the tiny hands from
feeling the touch of Jack Frost.

white satin beaver rolls jauntily Off

crown has a soft tint OF white lace about

Toad In a Tree.

Recently the woodmen on Earl Cow
pers estate at Wrest Park, Silsoe, Bed
fordshire, were cutting up one OF the
large oaks which fell during the storm
last Lady Day, when they came across
toad imbedded in the heart OF the
trunk, about eighteen feet from the
root. The imprisoned creature, which
must have subsisted for some years on
the sap, was about half the size OF a
fully developed toad, and readily swal-
lowed the worms, earwigs and beetles
which we're given to 1t.
