Der one incident which shows til, man

"Three of them wu.c men who would

it was found impossible to carry out the
order, for the men were dangerous.
Dewey was notified Of the situation. He
was writing % letter i'll lis room ut the

He went to the place where these
giants were and he told them to come
out and submit to the irons. They did
not stir. Then Dewey said quietly to an
orderly, Bring me my revolvers,' and
when he had his pistols he again called
upon the men to come out, but they did
not move. Then he said, 4 am going to
count three. If you are not out here
with your hands held up on the third
count, you won't come out of that place
alive
"He counted one, then he cooked the
revolvers, and he counted two. We all
expected to hear the report. for we knew
that Dewey meant what he said. The
men knew it too. They stepped out just
in time to save their lives and held up
their hands, and they had been partial
ly sobered by their fright and the moral
effect of Dewey's glance.
lone of them said afterward that
when he saw Dewey's eyes he knew
that he would either be a dead Jackie

and when the irons We're put upon him
he was as sober as he ever was in his
life. Dewey went back to his room and
finished the letter no vas writing."-

THE Lucky Duifs" is the title of an
article in The English illustrated Maya.
zine in which Mr., J. NJ. Bullock traces
the rise of the Duke of Fife, like a
prince in a fairy tale, from a little
farmer in the north of Scotland 200
years ago. One good woman of the
house used to ride to market with a
huge pile Of plaiding, which she had
spun from her sheep, i'll the crouper be-
side her and duly brought back its
value in mcrks. These she boarded in
bags. On one occasion she banked her
savings in a leather bag in the ceiling,
but the rats got at it, SO that the family
dined amid a downpour Of ducatoons.
The family flourished SO well that each
OF her three sons got an estate of his
own-Patrick, the youngest, bringing
81 children into the world, while Will.
liam became the father of the first Earl
of Fife.
