daughter were DOunllluily pIONldeu TOT
in the way of eatables, but il was an op.
portunity to stretch their legs, and they
took advge tage of il. Arm in arm they
walked down 10 the end of the platform,
followed by the three men, and as tney
turned something happened. a blow
under the ear sent the father down in "a
heap, and man seized the daughter
I and swung her into u saddle and was
up behind her like cat. Just as the
Englishman raised an alarm the four
lorsemen dashed away into the gloom,
end everyone was SO taken by surprise
that the move was a complete success.
They've got my girl-they're carry
ing OF my dauehter!" shouted tho
Englishman, as nc danced around, and II
dozen men stepped forward TO offer ad-
vice or suggestions.
IL was n case of abduction. The four
desperad0es could not have known that
the Englishman and his daughter were
on the train, but had taken the girl en-
chance that she had rich friends who
would pay heavy ransom for her. IL
was new idea,--playing the brigand in
the west, but they had figured that it
would be safer and more profitable than
train robbery. There was just one man
on the platform who had realized what
had happened and did not lose his head.
Without word 10 the father-without
a word TO the excited passengers rush
inc about and asking what had hap
pencd. he ran down the platform 10
where a cowboy stood holding a
broncho.
''I am Lieut.. Haskell, of the -th cav
alryl" said the officer, as he approached.
"A woman has been run off by gang
OF outlaws. l want your horse and
guns!"
"You betl" was the brief reply.
"Iere's good critter, and here are two
guns and fifty spare cartridges. I'd
like the fun, but can't go. Whoop 'em
up, old mani"
"Who's that-thcre's another of'em!"
shouted the excited crowd, rs they
caught sight OF the officer dashipg away
in the darkness on the trail of the out
laws.
The cowboy explained, and the con-
ductor shouted: "All aboard!" He
could not hold his train longer. The
thing to do was for John Livingstone
TO stop off and collect a gang TO go in
pursuit. II might take hours, but that
was his only show. IL the outlaws
could not be overhauled, then they
would expect TO find him there when
It came to a question Of ransom. The
Englishman's traps were burdled out
of his car and the train went on, and
il was daylight next morning before
n gang of ten men picked up the trail
and rode away In pursuit of the out
laws.
Lieut.. Haskell wos not over fif-
teen minutes behind the abductors as
he rode away. He had acted OIL the inn
pulse Of the moment, and yet he knew
what he was about. He had been sent
with n detachment TO guard the men
building tho branch rood touching the
main line right there, and had hunted
and fshed and pretty thoroughly ex-
plored the country for twenty miles
around. He also knew more or less

And a sort of kind of a roar he gave
As it stabbed him again and again.

The bright flames flashed out free.
And he cried to the roller coaster, "Oh.
Como. see what is eating mel"
And the wild waves chantcd dirgc,
And the moon found tears in her eye,
And the night birds knew
As thoy screamed and few
That the elephant had to die.

Stepped It on.

1t is commonly accepted theory
that q man steps three feet. and many
tract of land has been stepped off,
instead of measured with chain. In
the West they obviate the difficulties
of surveys by the land being divided
into sections, but in Pennsylvania
much of the property, especially in the
mountains, must still be described by
metes and bounds.
In one of the counties in Western
Pennsylvania are two brothers, one of
whom is tall and lank, the other short
and fat. Many years ago they pur-
chased tract of mountain land call
ing for mile square. They divided
the labor of measuring it, one step
ping off one side, the other the other
side. Then they fenced 1t in and were
perfectly satisfied uutil recently when
suit was brought to recover a consider
able tract of the land. Each brother
swore that they knew the measurement
to be right, and told how it had been
done. Then, as the spectators saw the
short legs of the one, scarcely long
enough to reach the floor when he sat
in chair, and the elongated extremI-
ties of the other, there was a general
laugh, in which the Judge and attorney
joined. Upon surveying, it was found
that one line was mile and half
long, and the other only a little over
half a mile. Washington Star.

"Oh, is this his idea2" said Mildred !
and left her in q state indignation
concocting further pleasantries for the
lhckless Dicky.
As the evening was warm, we held
the trial in tho garden. Mildred made
a most offensive speech about Dicky.
Fashions popinjay," "fn.de-siecle
spoons" "chicken hearted tailor's
model" we're, remember, among the
gems of her denunciation. Major Tur.
ner, who was Judge, tried to moderate
her once or twice, and Lena whispered
to me that she would make Mildred an
apple pie bed. But it was the eulo.
GUM on Mr.. Pilkington that was the
most interesting part of her speech,
for it concluded with q melodramatic
announcement of Mildred's engage.
ment to him.
''The one thing wanting" murmured
Dicky softly to me.
Then there we're lot of witnesses,
of whom l was one. Dicky inst sat
and smoked and smiled. When the
case for the prosecution was over,
Dicky said quietly, "Mrs Arkwright,
might borrow your butler for q few
minutes"
The butler came, and Dicky asked
him:
"Did speOk.lt you yesterday after
lunch?"
"Yes, SIR"
"Did induce you to tell Mr.. Pill
kington that you had heard from Mrs.
Frobisher's maid that there was to be
a pretended burglary?"
'Yes, SIR"
''Did you?"
''Yes, sir"
"What did he sayP"
"He gave me an inducement, sir,
not to tell any one else," said the but
Ter, with broad grin.
Thanks" said Dicky. "Thnt's all
1 want to say--except, perhaps, that
Mrs. Frobisher and Mrs. Foulkea
shouldn't discuss secrets near the sum-
mel house"
l don't think I ever saw any one
look more complete idiot than Mr..
Pilkington, or any one angrier than
Mildred. The court broke up inform
ally, and every one apologized to
Dicky. Mildred and her hero went
off alone. Later in the evening I sent
the proceeds of the sweep round to
Mildred at Lena's suggestion. That
was the last 1 saw of her for some
time. She disappeared early the next
day, and Mr.. Pilkington was suddenly
called away in the afternoon.

good a latchkey is. "
"Indeed. If Samuels had been go.

wouldn't have met any footpad. Sec

payable to his wife, and il it had not
been for that key she would be rich

have to bring home some better story

An instructive and pathetic custom
still prevails in Munich. Every desti.
tute child found begging in the streets
is arrested and carried to a charitable
institution. On his arrival he is pho,
tographed-dirt, rags and all. After
being maintained and educated, when
he leaves the institution to begin life,
the before mentioned photograph is
given to him, and he Is required to
make a solemn declaration that he will
keep it as a reminder of the wretched
state from which he was saved and OF
the kindness shown. The society has
received many gifts from its reclaimed
waits. The Sketch.

NOTHING Is LOST.

Nothing is lost; the woods and flelds grow
green again in spring,
The earth and flowers are full OF life,
life in everything.
We fall asleep and rest, and wake, and call
it daily life,
And sleep at last and end Of pain, and end
Of care and strife,
Nothing is lost, for life itself is only pass
ing thought!
We lose our yesterday, tits true, but hold the
good 1t brought,
Nothing is lost, the sweet, sweet songs come
to us o'or and Ger.
The same fond faces oft return, and will for.
ever more.
