has suddenly disappeared. He has
looked for her in vain. or course, she
can be only in one place. Harrison
will rush here as fast as possible to
Illustrate the attempt at liberation,
and we shall have him in our hands,
Then he can occupy the place which
he SO kindly selected for you, and you
can use his marriage contract-the
simplest exchange possible"
But that is partial deception" re-
piled william. Am l secretly, craft

stop, Will! My patience is being
exhausted" Maxwell angrily inter-
rupted. Don't bother me again with
your German slowness and stupidity,
or I'll leave you behind bolts and bars.
One can't lead good fortune straight
to your arms. You must first inspect
it on all sides-subject it to a critical
eXamination-to ascertain whether 1t
is thoroughly ideal and free from
earthly dross; and meanwhile the
light, airy thing flutters out of your
hands. In short, do you want to mar
ry Florence or not?'
"Of course l do. But"
Very well. then, the matter is set
tied. Leave the rest to me. True.
it's abomnable to expect a best man
first to drag the bridegroom from be-
hind SO many iron bars, but you must
have some unusual circumstance con-
nected with it. One thing more: OF
course you have no weapons"
SHOULD have been captured other
wise? l certainly would not have sur
rendered with arms in my hands"
Il anticipated that and concealed
two pistols about me. There, now I've
finished. Try your strength and see
il you can tear out the grating"
The file had worked unweariedly all
the time, had cut through the larger
portion Of the grating and loosened the
rest, but the iron still held. William
tugged and shook in vain, and there
was no more time to lose. But the
consciousness of danger lent the
young man unnatural strength. After
few unsuccessful efforts he again
seized the grating and, with last

severe, and will probably terminate

the colonel. Davis introduction OBJ
tanned for me the loan of suit of
civilians clothes from the owner of
the adjoining plantation, and, as
wanted to profit by the beautiful af-
ternoon and my leave of absence, I
rode to Springfield"
The accompaniment to this story,
told in the most matter-of-fact tone,
was the low, harsh grating of the file,
which the speaker was diligently u.s.
ing. The whole affair was thorough
ly characteristic of John Maxwell.
Any one else would have done every
thing in his power to keep his friend
from such venture, and, when all
failed, would at least have been anx-
lous and troubled about him. John
did neither. He considered the form
er useless, the latter supertluous; but,
without wasting another word, he rode
straight into the jaws of danger af-
ter his man and considered it the

William stood close by the window,
breathlessly watching the work Of lib

the room permitted. He could do moth

Hardly, for l have forbidden him

sides, he has visitor-the magistrate
from the city, who was summoned
here for the wedding. They are in a
hurry, it must be admitted. Mr.. Har-
rison wished, under any circum-
stances, to become Benedict to-
day"

come? l should like to wiring his

You will please refrain from that,
said Maxwell, reprovingly. "Mr

of considering me Doctor Blackwood,

dry way. Yes, my dear Will. 1t
doesn't always answer to run ones
head against wall; this time the
masonry remained firm. You have
tangible proof of it, since your prog

But, at least, tell me how it was

and, after few anxious moments, Ro-

CATS CAN SWIM.
An Old Fisherman's story in Illustration
of That Fact,


of That Fact.
Can cats swim?" was asked OF an
old fisherman why, certainly" was
the reply, land that reminds me of
cat l once tried to drown that swan
ashore. Surely there must have been
hundreds or thousands of people who
have drowned cats in the same way,
but nevertheless this was an expert
ence of my own. We had cat that we
wanted to get rid of, and as humane
way as any to kill 1t was by drowning.
So put couple of bricks in the bot
tom of an old grain sack and put in
the cat, and tied the bag up carefully
and securely and walked down to the
end of wharf and stood there and
swung the bag, with the cat and the
bricks in 1t round like sling until
could give 1t good momentum and
then let 1t go, and slung it out to fall
and sink in the water, l should say
twenty feet away. l supposed, of
course, that that was the last of the
cat, but the next morning the first
thing l saw when l went out of the
house was the cat sitting on the ver-
anda l suppose the bag had a weak
spot in it somewhere, the bricks were
heavy and sharp-cornered, and swing
ing the bag round that way started
1t more, and the cat was desperate;
and with the bag that way it scratched
and tore its way out and got to the
wharf and clawed its way up and came
ashore. Can cat swim? Why, sure!"

an extremely important character. For
instance, he is absolutely necessary
at your wedding
My wedding?" repeated William,
in amazement. What do you mean?"
~'Why, l think the best plan will be
to wind up the business on the spot.
You want to marry under any circum-
stances. The bride, the magistrate
and the witnesses are all here, so
don't see what is to prevent you ex-
cept this confounded iron grating,
which | shall finally cut through. II
Florence is your wife, you can take
her with you to some place OF secur-
ity, then your umiable cousin can keep
house here as he chooses. He can't
wholly ruin the plantation or carry
off the buildings; and, as soon as the
war is over, you can assert your wtfe's
claim"
But, John, have you gone daft?
Such a plan in the house where Ed
ward rules and will summon all the
servants to his aid the instant we ap-
pear. He did so just now, at the time
of my arrest"
"Pshaw, the servants! They are
only negroes. and not one will lift his
hand against us as soon as we say
we are officers in the Union army. The
fellows are constantly coming in
throngs to seek protection with us.
You were not known to them, or else
they were afraid of Captain Wilson
and Harrison. The servants are not
to be feared. I'll undertake to deal
with the justice and his companion. So

ture relative-and he must be made

Lord Kimberley, it appears, grants
pensions of six and seven shillings a
week to his aged servants. One of
these ancients conceived the bright
idea that, in addition to the pension
from his lordshop, he was entitled to
out-relief from the guardians. Accord
ingly, he made an application, which
was refused on the ground that he was
already in receipt OF sufficient pen
sion. The old man went straight to
Lord Kimberley and asked II that was
fair. On being assured that 1t was,
he at once offered to resign his pension
and go into the workhouse, For" he
declared. Il won't see your lordship
done over this"

A short life need not be at all one
of but small influence. A short story
or sermon has frequently more effect
than the more lengthy. 1t is only
speaking from a human standpoint to
say that a life is prematurely closed
which covers but a portion of the time
allotted by the Psalmist. Christ's pub
lie ministry occupied but three short
years, yet at their close he declared
finished that stupendous work, the re-
demption of the world. Great achieve
ments are permitted few. but oppor-
tunities of influence are imposed upon
all, for we are living epistles known
and read of all men, and our living
breaches more eloquently than our
words.

Luxurious repose is never true physi-
cal rest. To enjoy that blessing to its
fullest extent, freedom from restraint
must be allowed every part Of the
body. A firm surface is required-one
that will tend to keep the body
stretched out at full length. that the
lungs and heart may feel no sense OF
restriction by compression of the chest
walls, and that the blood may have

CHAPTER x.

Meanwhile the justice and his clerk
were seated at Widespread table in
the dining-room, which also looked
out upon the garden. Edward could
not send the gentlemen, who had TAX
en- the long ride in vain, back to the
city Immediately; so he had invited
them to dinner Mr.. Thompson could
not find words enough to express his
regret and sympathy for the sorrow
overhanging the household, but he
saw no reason why he should not have
comfortable meal on that account
He thought it perfectly natural that
Edward should excuse himself and re-
main in the drawingroom. No one
could feel offended with the grief
stricken nephew, but he himself dis
cussed all the more eagerly the good
things set before him, and was ably
supported by his clerk.
The old gentleman only regretted
Doctor Blackwood's absence, and ad-
mired the sense of duty which would
not permit him even to appear at din
ner He was Just giving his factotum
discourse concerning this distin-
guished physician, at the same time
helping himself to large piece of
roast meat. His factotum listened
most dutifully and took still larger
slice, when the subject of the con-
versation suddenly entered.
"Ah, there you are, Doctor Black
wood!" cried the judge. "Sit down.
Unfortunately you have come little
| late. We have had the roast serv-
ed"
Tho doctor bowed in the most
charming manner, and signed to the
servant, who had just brought in the
dishes, to leave the room.
Thank you. am very sorry to dis
turb you, but there Is business mat
ter to be settled, which admits Of no
delay"
"A business affair? Is there a will
to be made?"
mo, on the contrary, the matter
| concerns wedding"
Mr.. Thompson dropped his knife
and fork and stared at the speaker in
the utmost establishment.
THE ceremony is put on. Mr.. Har-
rison told me himself that he was
compelled to defer 1t for the present" "
Certainly, and he will probably do
so altogether; but another person has
taken his place-Mr. William Roland"
What? What did you call him?"
"Willlam Roland. The circumstances
have entirely changed, and unfortu-
nately have not time to explain them
to you in detail. But, in the name of
the betrothed couple. beg of you to
perform the wedding ceremony at
once

chair, assuming dignified attitude
and solemn, official manner.

Cushman of Wisconsin is put down
in the Congressional Directory as a
congressman -at-large, his state being
without definite congressional dis
tricts. This reminds him of story
which is quoted in the Washington
Post. He was once approaching a
town, where he was billed to make a
speech, and stopped at a house on the
outskirts to get a drink of water. He
met the farmers wife at the well.
What is the political sentiment
around here?" asked Cushman. "I
dunno" said the woman; Il don't go
to political meetings. They say there
is congressman at large. and I think
the safest thing for me to do is to
