the bank under cover of menaclng guns
while the hlghwaymen were at work.
While attempts to blow up the large
safe were in progress, Conductor Smith
sent Brakeman Otto Nordman back TO
flag possible trains. The robbers fired
at him and bullet passed under his
arm, cutting the flesh but not intiicting
a dangerous wound. Nordman was
later picked up by a handcar and taken
TO Carlisle. One Of the robbers pro-
posed to rob the passengers, but the
others refused to go into the car, as
several men had taken the alarm and
were prepared to resist. Frank Allen
came down from Rothsay to-day and
reports that the depot safe at that place
was dragged into the middle OF the
floor about midnight, but the woVid-be
robbers, evidently the same gang, were
frightened away.

And her husband was surprised to

AbDAlLAH'S LESSON.

Abdaiiah, pious above all mankind,
Who dwelt in Mecca, morning. noon and
night
His voice to Allah raised in prayer oontrite,
Vas he and humble, pure In mind.
Inspired of heaven he-not SO bis wife.
She daily stood the market place within
And bought and sold, nor deemed 1t any sin
To mingle there in scenes Of toll and strife.
While thus he prayed she earned the food he
ate,
But oft he reprimanded her. Said he:
Thou shouldst devote thy life to prayer,
like me.
Serve not myself. Allah alone is great!"
At last his words sank deep into her heart
Said she: "While Allah shall my poor life
spare
My voice to him I'll raise in holy prayer.
Henceforth Of Righteousness am part"
Abdallah's heart was glad, and, side by side,
They prayed until the sun in heaven was
high.
Then hunger to the pious man drew nigh
And loudly c.amored to be satisfied.
Abdallah's wife still prayed. No food was
there.
The good mans soul was vexed. "'Tis
plain" he said,
THAT even piety must needs be fed,
And man cannot exist alone by prayer"
And thus he learned Faith, without works,
Is Dead"
And, profting by what no learned, straight,
way
He went to work and prospered from that
day
And thanks to Allah gave for daily bread.

"Noap. l told her she couldn't, and

That's what she was. The boss
didn't keep his feet mint. l stood
right here lookin' when he turned

And you are smiling about it!" ex-
claimed the colonel in great indigna-
ton.
II can't help It," replied the old man.
"She was determined to hev her way,
If 1t killed her. l told her and told
her, but She"
He stopped short and his smile faded
away. We heard a movement in the
bushes close at hand, and as we turn
ed the old man started off at his best
speed. Five seconds later a bare
headed, bare-footed woman, with her
wet garments clinging to her like
plaster mold, sprang out of the scrub
with club in her hand and took after
him, and as they disappeared over
ridge half mile away, she was almost
near enough to hit him on the back.
