A dron incident once happened on

camp stool near the paddle box in COM
pany with Lady Canning and Lady
Broomfeld, when commotion was OBJ
served among the sailors, little knots of
men talking together in mysterious
manner. First one officer came up to
them, then another, and at last Lord
Adolphus Fitz Clarence was called.
The queen, much puzzled, inquired
whether there was going to be mu-
tiny.
Lord Adolphus laughed, but replied
that he really did not know what would
happen unless her majesty would gra-
ciously move her seat.
SHOVE my seat?" said the queen.
''Why should I? what harm can be,
doing here?"
"Well, madam, the fact is your maj
esty is unwittingly closing up the door
where the grog tubs are kept, and so
the men cannot have their grog."
Every well,'' said the queen. II will
move on condition that you bring me
glass of grog."
This was accordingly done, and after
testing it the queen said: Il am afraid

once before, that I think it would be
very good if it were stronger"
This, of course, delighted the men
immensely.-Dur,ham Observer.

1897. was set for Thursday morning at
O o'clock. A special venire of fifty was
summoned. Judge Boykin, for the
prisoner, objected to the bill of indict-
ment being presented for murder since
Groves, he contended, had been ac-
Quilted OF that charge because in the
previous trial he was found guilty of
manslaughter and afterwards the Su-

The Porte has demanded the recall OF
two American missionaries from the
province of Aleppo, on thep retext that
their mission for distribution of relief
is likely to cause disturbances. 1.-The
sick man Of Europe" as he is derisively
termed, is as unreasonable as his politi-
cal health is feeble. As a bright con-
trast to his obstinacy and stupidity, the
people of America are acknowledging
far and wide the beneficence Of the mis-
sion Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
namely, to relieve and prevent malaria,
Rheumatism and kidney complaint,
chronic dyspepsia, constipation and liver
trouble The nervous, the weak and the
infirm derive unspeakabIe benefit from
its use, and it greatly mitigates those
infrmities specially incident to advanc-
ing years. Sleep, appetite, and a sensa-
ton of comfort throughout the system,
ensue upon its use, which should be
regular and persistent An early resort
to this fine preventive is logically sug-
aested to those who seek its aid.

what was wanted of him; and Oh the

down into the pillows of foliage be-
low.

Eyes"
I'm sure I'm much obliged; It was
awfully good of you"
She turned still farther from him,
and he made an involuntary step to-
ward her when she leaned over the edge
of the rock. Then he saw that she was
shaking with suppressed laughter. and
penitence very nearly became wrath.
why are you laughing at me?" he
demanded
Because you're SO ridiculous" she
retorted, facing him suddenly. What
makes you talk as if Mr.. Thorndyke be-
longed to me? What right have you to
think that he is anything more than a
friend of my fathers, like-like your
self? How do you know that he isn't
engaged to the young lady in New Y ork
who writes to him every week?"
Protheroe made a praiseworthy at
tempt to be coherent, but it ended
rather tamely. "Then you-then 1
have been mistaken all along in think
irg-Elsie. please come away from that
cliff and tell me you forgive me-
Il won't-not till you catch me-"
And, with a hooking laugh in which
there was more joy than derision. she
slipped over the edge of the rock and
was nearly out of sight in the path be-
low before Protheroe gathered enough
presence of mind to accept her chal-
]enge. The chase was short and vigor-

For the first time during the inter

For Gods sake. Sharpless, don't trifle
with him; give him what he wants."
None the less, Sharpless fought des-
perately, contesting every inch of
| ground. 1t would take time to draw
up the papers; he must at least be al :
lowed to telegraph New York; he had
no idea that his draft would be honored
without explanations. To all of which
| Philip turned deaf ear and pointed
| ineXOrably to the alternative. He must
have the draft and the security, or the
law should be allowed to take it's
course. When it finally came down to
a mere question of the time required
| for the preparation Of the papers.
1'hilip produced a draft and mortgage
ready for signature, together with u
ouit-claim deed signed by himself as
attorney in fact for John Kilgrow.

said; ''have him come in and witness

The managers clerk was summoned,
and when Fench had written his name
| with trembling fingers under the
scrawling signature of the attorney,

| the mortgage and the draft were hand
ed to Thorndyke. Sharpless dismissed
| the young man CURLY when his duty
was performed and turned irascibly
| upon his successful opponent.
"You will remember that this was
your own proposition" he said, angri-
ly; Il give you far warning that you'll
have trouble with the matter yet be-
fore you're through with it. Now give
Inc that paper that you've made so
much Of"
1t was D rash speech, and if Lawyer
Sharpless had not parted with all his
reserves of shrewdness he would never
have uttered it. Philip calmly ignored
the demand and answered the threat.
