There was a general laugh. but the
old man seemed to doubt the evidence
of his own eyes.
Heavens O. nath, that must have
been an airthquakel How shall Iget tie

"I'll do it for you"
Waiting until all the occupants had
left except the skipper, again seized
the prov and ran toward the river,
showing the boat in front Of me- AS be-

feet, and as before he toppled over, with
an exclamation of amazement, portion
of which heard, and which was to the
effect that 1 must be satan himself.
Two days later Covey Cone was sit
ting in my apartments. We were alone,
smoking and at our ease.
1T was q narrow squeak for you,
Westcott, but I think you've little to
fear"
"Why should 1? You explained to the
marshal that I had nothing to do with
this counterfeiting business.
"But the worst of it was you did
have something to do with it. You
agreed to advance them $40, 900 to help
the thing along"
"But never did it"
"They wrote to you, reminding you
Of your agreement
"And you stole the letter, thereby
laying yourself open to unpleasant con-
sequences. But let that pass. You have
only their declaration that I was to in

does not, so long as those motives do
not eventuate in action.
II admit the forN Of what you say
and repeat that you are absolved from

me. Our explanation to the district at
torney will be all that is needed, but
you may have to appear on the witness

'I would prefer not to do that, though
of course I will obey any subpoena.
Don't you think it was a reckless

to that stone house in Jersey?"

"The results answer your question. "
"True, but those men carried weapons,
and your strength could not avail you

"Just so, but Discoe was like Marshal
Welling-he was so confident of being
able to crush me to earth that he tried
to do so before resorting to a deadly
weapon, and when we once cane in
contact he was babe in my hands.

"And now you know it. Gould you

II can't say that do. But this mirac-

"On the contrary, it has been with
me oil my life. But l resolved while
still a boy never to make avain display
of it,
"What of your performance with the
boat the other night?'
"That was idle display. There was
no necessity for yanking that craft
ashore as I did. Had l paused to reflect,
I would not have done So"
"And the breaking Of the darky' g

'That was another j. ance of which

I did not like this, but my eye hap

tended one arm across the top and lifted
it from the floor. the detective giving
utterance to gasp of amazement.
But a strange thing impressed itself
upon my consciousness-the safe was
heavier than before. What could be the
cause? I was the only one i'll America
that had tho combination, and / had
added naught to Its contents.
I started to walk round the room, but
the burden was SO great that when half
way across I abruptly retraced my steps,
setting the massive structure back in

floor.
Nevertheless it was most astonish'

an authority, who includes tobacco as
well, is injurious, and ought not to be
INDUCED in by those who seek to place
themselves in the best condition to re-
sist disease, because they belong in
the category of irritant drugs. These,
by rousing the vital forces to get rid
of the poison, provoke the action
which is mistakenly supposed to be an
added force, whereas this action is
only one of self-preservation. 1t will
readily be seen how much supporting
and building up of the system there is
in such substances by trying to live on
them to the exclusion of other things.
The result would prove the absurdity
of the idea.

about three score furlongs, but did
not recognize Christ until He bless
ed and brake bread. Three times
did he avow his love for Christ and
Christ bad his "Feed my lambs
and sheep" After Christ as.
cension, he took an active
part in the affairs of the infant
church. He first addressed the
disciples about a successor to
Judas, the traitor; he preached
unto the Jews on the day of Pente-
cost and 5000 souls were added to
the church; Peter and John healed
a lame man at the Gate Beautiful;
he was imprisoned with 10 hn,
and spoke boldly when questioned
by the Sanhedrin, about his
preaching Jesus, and the miracles
which he performed. He was
again imprisoned, but delivered
by an angel, he preached the gos-
pei throughout Samaria, confound-
ed Simon the sorcerer, cured
Eneas of the paralysis, raised
Dorcas to life, converted Cornelius,
the first Gentle convert; was inn
prisoned the third time by Herod
and was again delivered by an an.
gel.
He wrote two epistles. The de-
sign of the first was to support the
Christians under Affections, and
trials to which they were subject
ed; and to instruct them how to
behave in the midst of opposition
and the cruelty with which they
were treated; to be submissive to
civil authority: attentive to the
duties on their several stations of
life, and to lead blameless and ex-
amplary lives. This epist1e is
sparing in words, but full of sense,
majestic and in short, one of the
finest books of the New Tesla
ment.
There was some doubt as to
whether he wrote the second Epis-
tie, but it is now generally believ-
ed that Peter wrote it. That Peter
was old and near his death when
he rote it is evident, and that it
was written soon after the first,
appeared from the apology he
makes for this Second Epistle to
the Hebrews. The scope of this
epistle is to confirm the doctrine
and to assist the Hebrew Christ
ians ON in their faith of the gospel,
to caution them against false
teachers and to warn them against
those profane scoffers, who should
make q mock Of Christs coming to
Judgement. He warned them to
