A young man who is now well up the
list Of high saIaried officers OF n bic
manufacturing company said several
days ago that he owed his first oppor-
tunity to show his ability To the fact
that he was not afraid to soil his
clothes. He was one OF half n dozen
young men Just graduated from scien-
tific schools who entered the shops ~
this company as students They were
expected 10 show that they were prac-
teal workmen. but most Of them pre-
ferred theory To practice. The man
ager Of the company was n self taught
man. and he didn't take much stock In
scientific schools. The young man
who has succeeded took his measure
accurately aud. putting on old clothes.

by accident or design he was noticed
by the manager one DAY stretched out
on his back under n heavy casting
with n hammer and cold chisel In his
hand working away rs III he had mo-
higher ambition. A week later the
manager summoned him 20 the office.
Didn't see you under that casting

Captain Becker. an official OF the
Kongo Free State. won the affection OF
many Of the natives In very curious
way. lie bought a good loud playing
barrel organ and allowed the natives
20 turn the handle. The captain was
very anxiols that the people should
be married In accordance with the
Christian religion. and when IL was
known the organ would be played at
all such marriages the increase In the
number Of Christian weddings was ~
markable. Things were generally ar
ranged so that one wedding took place
each day. In order that the organ
might be heard regularly. IL turned
out afterward that several couples had
been married twice, in order that the
organ might be played mt their nup-
tials.-Sussex News.

bullet ready for her in tie event of her
capture. Poor Savile grew rec - the
aft feont put upon his Elsie by this conse-
quential savage.
After a little more talk the savage
asked where the missing member of the
company had gone. Then Norah Mac
kenzie tried to work on the superstition
of the savage. She told him that was
a spirit had taken the form Of pigeon
and flown away to where there was a
large camp of white men, and that. as
surely as they made any further at
tempt to molest her party, the pigeon
would come back, and bring large
body Of white men who would surely
destroy them utterly. The black fellow
looked thoughtful but increduloUs. A
child who has given up reading Jack
the Giant Killer" looks much in the
same way when it is told that if it does
not behave itself an old woman riding
on a broomstick will come down the
chimney and take it away He how
ever, said that if the lady with 1.-The
yellow locks and the cheeks like the set
ting sun did not give herself up with
in a certain time the blacks would come
and fetch her He then retired back
ward, and the little party retreated to
the cave Some considerable time had
been spent in this parley, and the mob
of blacks had been kept from struggling
off to the highlands in pursuit of game,
where they might possibly have fallen
in with me.
1t was well on in the afternoon when
the fieIc ce thunderstorm broke No soon
er had the storm lifted than the blacks
began a determined attack upon the
cave. their idea being to force it at any
risk Things began to look serious. 1t
would be little less than providential if
help could come now. so they must try
and temporiZe.
Norah Mackenzie, at considerable
personal danger, again harangued the
old chief. She kept him at least half an
hour talking At last he began to see
through the ruse and darted forward as
if to seize her He had begun to think
that after all the dark eyed, sun kissed
maiden was the better of the two wom-
revolver and leveled it full in his face
He ducked his head and promptly re
tired, not being prepared to die.
Then the blacks made dash at the
breastwork For good 90 minutes they
kept discharging a fight of spears from
their winmeras. The black gins as
well as bucks had climbed on to the
terrace. where they began to tear down
the loose stones, quite regardless of the
fact that their comrades We're falling
dead around them.

would soon be all up with the little
party. Must Savile and Jack put into
execution what they had agreed upon
or would one Of the women relieve them
of the work and do it herself2 In an
other minute it would have been done
that which has been done by heroic
women before rather than they should
fall into the hands of fiends-had not
an unexpected interruption occurred
Just outside the outer circle of the
blacks was heard Chang, bang bang,
q wild "hurrah' "a right lusty, heart
stirring British cheer, and a semicircle
of horsemen swept up swiftly and pitt
lessly, surrounding the savages. In an
other second certain bullets that had
been intended for very different billets
found more satisfactory zones. Savlle
had the pleasure of exchanging comph-
ments with the chivalrous old potentate
who had made such modest advances in
the morning. The latter left behind
him reputation for gallantry and en-
terprise that King Henry VIII himself
might have envied, but that was all he
left. His many widows did not even
come back to that spot to gather up and
fight over his bones.
The blacks were caught in their own
trap The pigeon that Norah Mackenzie
had threatened the old chief with had
kept its word in so far as, if 1T did not
return in person, it sent number OF
hawks and other birds of prey which
swooped down on them as they might
have done upon so much carrion.
The savages had no time to make n
stand, though their numbers We're n
hundred to one. Their superstitions had
been worked upon, and Generalization
was the consequence. They backed OH
the terrace as quickly as they had
charged on to it, but it was 'out OF the
frying pan into the fire.
Then an indescribable scene took
place, for the horsemen were in among
them from all directions dealing out
well merited punishment. The blacks
only thought of saving themselves, and
some of them had no time to think
about that. They were saved the trou-
Bile of thinking. They ran first one way,
and up trees like iguanas Some of them
even tried to scale the cliff by leaplng
| the break in the terrace but they leaped
| short and rcsembled the mythical flock
Of sheep going over n precipice.
