1t was mantrap, devised for the per-
petration of one of the cleverest rob
berries of modern times, robbery in
which it seemed we should never dis
cover the actors, for weeks passed and
no clew to them was found, though
$500 was offered privately by the bank
for their arrest.
1t was by that mark ON the handle Of
the black bag in Repair room that 1
was convinced he was one of the thieves.
The bag was one of the banks and the
mark had been placed upon it for iden-

Il will tell you all, said Despard.
'Repau was an acquaintance of mine.

day and said, 'Despard, have you heard
of that new machine in which they kill
cats and dogs?' l hadn't. They put
them into an almost alright box he
went on, and pump in poisoned air
They are dead in no time. Despard,
you are poor. have a scheme by which
we may make fortune. ("
In few words he laid his plot be-
fore him-to buy cab, alter it so that
when the windows were closed it would
be almost alright, while through a
tube passing into the cab air powerfully
drugged might be pumped into the
vehicle by an arrangement worked by
the drivers foot.
Despard set to work. In less than ten
days the trap cab was upon the London
streets. For three days it lowered
around the bank doors. On the fourth
it was engaged.
The driver was, of course, an ac-
complete, went on Despard "The ap-
paratus worked wonderfully. Before
they dreamed of danger the clerks were
rendered insensible by the drugged air
and were being driven to Hampstead,
Repair and following. In quiet spot
the cab stopped, Repair rushed to the
door, threw it open, grasped the bags,
sprang with them into our trap, and
with the driver of the cab we all set Off

scoundrel, laid hands on the rest.
"And where is he?" asked eagerly.
Despard mournfuIly shook his head
Il do not know" he replied
He certainly did not That reward
of $500 slipped through my fingers
after all, for Repair, that clever rascal,

that we never came up with him again.

JOURNALISTIC coLoRs.

Of course old Bulwer Lytton when he wrote
Of sword and pen
And affixed the prize blue ribbon to the Lat

Had never seen the office of a daily paper when
1t was press time and the boys were 'sshort

The penman cuts no figure in the hustling
world of news
The reporter is a skirmisher, it's true,
For he fights for heeting items, and he cap
lures interviews,
But his weapon is Faber number two
Now, the journalistic underiing, whose pencil

Is subseryient to pencil mark of blue

boy, the elder, of strong, rough mold,
His sister, blossom sweet.
When just in the midst of their play
Came an angry cry and blow
That bruised the cheek of the little maid
And caused bright tears to flow
And brought from my lips quick, sharp 70
proof
On the lad who had acted so.
And he stood by, sullen and hard,
While the maid soon dried her tear.
He looked at her with an angry eye.
She timidly drew near.
Don't be cross, johnny "a little sob).
"Let me fordive 90, dearl''
And the cloud is passed and gone,
And again in their play they meet,
And the strong, rough boy wears kinder

And brighter the maiden sweet,
While whisper has come from the heart

To man, man on the street.

Velestino thus rejoined the CORE
spondent His hotel bills were paid,
and be was invited to some bread and
milk. The rounds he fought with his
bread and milk were simply too exciting
for words. He was not satisfied with
putting all of his features in the plate.
He waded up to his knees, and his sub
sequent cargo was altogether out of
proportion to his displacement His
shape became suddenly like that of
toy balloon, but it filed him with a
sort of glad satisfaction, which was
noticeable in his tipsy sailor walk.
On his way to Athens the pup re-
ceived constant ovations The Greek
boy was on the box, and he elaborated
his own experiences and, incidentally,
the experiences of the pup People
gazed at Velestino with awe. He was
such wee thing that the correspondent
was not sure whether he was going to
grow to be COW or a caterpillar, but
the killed mountaineers that studied
him said that he was of the famous
shepherd dog breed of the Greeks and
was destined to be big dog

Looking at Velestino, asleep in a fluffy
ball in the carriage, the correspondent
rather thought that the number of bad
men was over the limit
at Thebes, while the correspondent
lunched, Velestino waddled, or rather
fell, around the floor of the cafe The
boys of the village congregated about
him, and the Greek child, who thought
he had been almost killed, dilated on
the experiences of himself and the dog
All these popular honors the pup &C.
cepted with his usual sublime indiffer-
ence. He interested himself in certain
surprising physical eceentricities. For
instance, every time he tried to run he
fell on his nose When he tried to catch
his tail, he fell ON his shoulder In
fact, he was so much of pup that he
could fall in almost any direction with
equal abandon. These maneuvers were
also conducted without regard to the
interest and admiration of the populace.
People do not usually talk about dogs,
and so, before he reached Athens, he
was easily the most famous dog in
Greece. In Athens itself he was put up
at the best hotel, and the honors be re-
ceived befitted his social position.
At present he is with your CORE
spondent. He has personal attendant
engaged at a fabulous salary He is
we'll known here already, and his ap-
pearance on the street causes popular
demonstration. But he doesn't care. -

A QUEER LITTLE ANIMAL.
The Australian Duckbin Carries Sting
In One Leg.

The Australian DuckbflI Carries Sting
In One Leg.
Australia certainly holds the palm for
queer and uncouth animals, says The
Literary Digest. Chief among these is
the duckbill or ornithorhynchus which
Sydney Smith described as "a kind of
mole with webbed feet and the bill of a
duck, which agitated Sir Joseph Banks
and rendered him miserable from his
utter inability to decide whether it was
bird or beast. " 1t was only recently
that it was proved beyond doubt that
this curious animal lays eggs like
bird, though this had long been reported
by travellers. Now comes the news that
it has sting on its hind leg, capable of
killing by its poisonous effects We
quote from The Lancet:
g For long time it was considered to
be quite harmless and destitute of any
weapon of offense, although the hind
legs of the males were armed with a
powerful spur, apparently connected
with gland. Then the opinion was adj
vaneed that this might be a weapon al
lied to the poisonous armory of snakes,
scorpions and bees, all of which possess
sort of hypodermio poison syringe.
Though one set Of observers asserted
that this was the case, another set de-
MED it, and SO Dr. Stuart determined to
solve this question, if possible. He re-
ceived two independent accounts which
conceded perfectly, and from them he
concludes that. at certain seasons at all
events, the secretion is virulently poi
sonous. The mode of attack is not by
scratching, but by lateral inward move
ments Of the hind legs. Two cases are
reported in dogs. One dog was 'stung'
three times, the symptoms much resem-
bling those of bee or hornet poison. The
dog was evidently in great pain and
drowsy, but there were no tremors, con-
WILSON'S or staggering. 1t is worthy of
note that certain immunity seems OBJ
tainable, for the dog suffered less on the
second occasion and still less on the
third. Two cases of men being wounded
are reported, in both of which the ami
mails were irritated, one by being shot
J and handled, the other by being handled
only. The symptoms were the same as
in the dog No deaths are reported in
human beings, but four in dogs.

A Good Guess Of Long Ago

During the American Revolution an
English magazine published an estimate
of the North American colonies. Plac-
ing the population then at 1000, 600
and assuming that it would double it
self every % years, the writer estimated
that in the year 1890 the number would
have increased to Ga, 600, 900, This may
be taken as most remarkable prophecy,
inasmuch as the census of 1890 fixes
the total population at 2.6a2, $50.

THE PATENT MEDICINE MAN.

Came With a Rush.


He Waited Long For Results, and They
Came With Rush.
1T was more than 30 years ago that
decided the thing was ready to be put
on the market, :" said the inventor of a
compound that has now passed out Of
the category of patent medicines and
become we'll introduced. "The question
that bothered me was how to get the
stuff before the people and make them
personally acquainted with its qualities,
SO that | might find out whether
my own faith and confidence in the
article were justified. But how was to
get it into peoples hands? That was
the question that / had to answer.
went to the wholesale druggists, and
they said it would be useless to put it
on their shelves, as nobody would buy
it. l sent it to doctors, but that did very
little toward getting the article into the
hands of the people. l gave 1t away at
fairs, and the result was that a small
portion Of the people there got nearly
all of the stuff, while the others went
without any. Plainly that would not
do. But I didn't know yet what I would
do.
"After awhile it occurred to me that
would start man in buggy driving
in a certain direction. He was to dis
tribute the stuff to every body he met on
the road, and in that way the stuff
would finally get into the hands of the
people. I was going to have relays
enough to stretch a line across the
country and start a man from the west
to come east through the territory the
other man could not reach. Twas going
to send the stuff on ahead, SO that at
different points on the road the man
would be supplied with enough to give
away.
1.-THE fellow started on his long trip
and distributed thousands of packages
of the stuff. Other men started in differ
ent directions, and there were only a
few thinly populated and remote corners
of the country that could not have some
personal experience of my invention.
The men finished their trips and wait
ed. But no response came. The people
whom had expected to answer with a
cry for what had given them remained
mute. A year passed, and every cent Of
available capital had gone into the
scheme. Thousands of dollars had gone,
and evidently no more had been done
toward creating demand than if the
stuff had been locked in closet and
left there. strained hard, but never
could hear the voice of the public call
ing for my invention. The months were
miserable with suspense and despair I'M
til suddenly the public, to speak meta
phorically, roared at me. The rush had
started in a way ! could never under
stand. New York Sun.

Forecasting the Progress of Invention.
There is another direction in which
the airship would be seriously defective,
and this is almost always overlooked,
and that is in the matter of making
landings. Being large body, it would
necessarily be unwieldy, and its motion
in any direction could not be arrested in
very short space of time; therefore it
could not make landing within linn
tied area. In dead calm it could proba-
bly, be lowered in nearly vertical line
and thus make landing in a contract
ed space, but if the wind were blowing
even at a moderate velocity the case
would be different AS the wind is al
ways blowing more or less, and as it fire.
quently changes its course in few SEQ
onds, the ship would be tossed about
quite lively before it reached the ground.
If it came down at the rate of 800 feet
per minute which is high velocity,
and the wind were blowing at the rate
of ten miles per hour, the side drift
would be three times as great as the
vertical descent, and if this were coun-
teracted by imparting velocity to the
ship equal to that Of the wind and op-
posed to it the side drift would be
doubled if the direction of the wind
should suddenly reverse. 1t must there
fore be evident that to be able to make
landing safely, without running the
risk of colliding with church steeples
and modern skysorapers, it would be
necessary to have large open space. -

For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in it's fight

1t fell to earth, knew not where,
For who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight OF song2
Long, long afterward in an oak

And the song, from beginning to end,
