as was well illustrated in the hunting
down OF Tom Atkins, the Union Pacific
train robber in Wyoming a few years

them, but was himself shot an hour
aterward by the sheriff's posse.
The plan to be carried out by the

pany in the event Of train on their
line being held up, is told by John B.
Lenning, agent of the road at Poca-
tello, where two OF the pups have been
sent to be raised. Mr. Lenning was in
the city today and in an interview re-
garding the innovation said:
The Oregon Railroad and Navigation
company has gone into the blood
houna business, and from now on it
will hardly be worth while to hold up
any Of this company's trains, for the
guilty party is more than likely to be
caught.

chased, but this number will be in
creased as rapidly as possible until a
sufficient number have been stationed
at various points, so that in case they
are needed they can be secured quick

tions of,India and CEina devote mo

But India and China are not the O..
countries which absorb gold without
ever giving it back again AS a mat
er Of fact, in all countries there IS 6
tendency on the part of coined gold
to get ont of sight and stay hidden.
This is subject which has occupied
the students Of finance in all laIis,
and there have been many analyses of
the different causes for the disappear
ance Of gold. Yet, with the most in
genious explanations, the problem al
ways has remained very interesting
one. Our own treasury officials have
given it good deal of study.
Of the vast amount of gold that is
annually mined and put into circula-
ton, there always remains a heavy bal
ance unaccounted for, even after all al
lowance has been made for use in the
arts, for loss by friction and for what
would seem fair amount to charge to
loss by fire, by being sunk il deep
waters and by boarding.
Our treasury officials, according to
Mr.. Hurley, estimate that there is used
in the arts annually, in gliding, in cleo
and similar operations which
withdraw gold from possibility of other
use, probably not less than $10,O00,-
900 worth of gold.
Then there is the use of solid gold
in jewelry and plate. This in reality
is not an actual withdrawal of gold,
for it can be remelted and coined. Still,

cess of manufacturing these articles
and the handling of them after they

ready, and as soon as they can be got
ten to the scene by special train or
otherwise, they will be put on the

that, as the trail will be warm. there
will be little danger of the robbers get
ing away very far before the hounds
are close upon their heels"

pletc secrecy for two years, after
which period they ventured to indulge
i'm some freedom of movement, and
even conducted the devOtons of few
neighbors assembled In their chambers
But the arrival at Boston of plenary
commissioner of the king with eXtraor-
binary powers was now expected,
and it was regarded as likely that they
would be charged to institute new
search, which might endanger the fu-
gitives and would certainly be embar-
RAISING to their protectors. Just at
this time fcud between the churches
of Hartford and Wethcrsfield had led
to an emigration to a spot of fertile
meadow some 40 miles up the Connect
icut river. Mr.. Russell, hitherto min
lister at Wethersfeld, accompanied the
new settlers as their pastor. The gen.
eral court gave their settlement the
name of Hadley. In this newest and
remotest frontier of New England a
refuge was prepared for Whalley and
COTE.
Then, except for a remarkable mo-
mentary appearance of one of them
and except for the visits Of a few
stanch and confidential friends, the
regicides remained lost forever to the
view of men. Presents were made to
them by leading persons among the
colonlsts, and they received remit
, tances from friends in England.
In the tenth year of his abode at
Hadley Whalley had become extreme
ly infirm in mind and body, and he
probably did not outlive the year 1874.
/ The house of Mr.. Russell stood until
about 1905. At its demolition the re-
moval of n slab in the cellar discovered
human remains of large size. They
were believed to have belonged to the
stout frame which swept through
Prince Rupert's lines at Naseby.
COTE survived his father-in-law three
years at least; how much longer is not
known. Once he was seen by outsid-
ers after his retirement to Mr.. Rus
sells house. The dreadful war to

queathed his long eXecrated name was
raging with its worst terrors in the au-

their distress. While they were en-
gagged in worship a sentry's shot gave
notice that the stealthy savages were
upon them. Hutchinson, in his his
tory, relates what follows as he had re-
ceived it from the family of Governor
Leverett, who was one of the few WIS.,
itors to COTE in his retreat:
THE people were in the utmost con-
fusion. Suddenly a grave, elderly per-
son appeared in the midst of them. In
his micn and dress he differed from
the rest of the people. He not only en-
cOuraged them to defend themselves,
but put himself at their head, rallied,
instructed and led them on to encoun-
ter the enemy, who by this means were
repulsed. Quite as suddenly the de-
liNArer Of Hadley disappeared. The
people We're left in CONSERVATION, ut
terly unable to account for this strange
phenomenon. 1t is not probable that
they were ever able to explain it."

asked their advice respecting his Obli-
cations to secure the refugees. The
court refused to recommend that meas
ure, and four days more passed, at the
end of which time whether induced by
others or by their own conviction of
the improperly of involving their gen
crouS host in further embarrassment,
they set off for New Haven.
A journey of nine days brought Whal-
ley and COTE to the hospitable home Of
the Rev. DR.. Davenport, where they
again moved freely in the society of
the ministers and the local magistrates.
But they had been scarcely three weeks
in New Haven when tidings came
thither of the reception at Boston of n
proclamation issued by the king for
their arrest.
TO release their host from RESPONSE
bility they went to Milford, as if on
their way to the New Netherlands, and
there showed themselves freely in pub
lie; but, like foxes, they doubled on
their trail and returned secretly to
New Haven and were concealed in DR..
Davenport's house.
Thence they were led to spot called
Ratchet Harbor, about as much far
ther in a nOrthwesterly direction,
where they lay for two nights more.
Meantime, for fear of the effect of the
large rewards which the messengers
had offered, n more secure place of
hiding had been provided for them in a
hollow on the east side of West Rock,
five miles from the center of New
Haven at that time.
In this retreat they remained four
weeks, being supplied with food from
lonely farmhouse in the neighbor-
hood to which they also withdrew
sometimes in stormy weather. They
caused the deputy governor to be In
formed of their hiding place, and on
hearing that Davenport was in danger
from a suspicion of harboring them
they left it, and for a week or two
showed themselves at different times
In New Haven and elsewhere.
After two months more of conceal
ment in their retreat on the side OF
West Rock they betook themselves, JUS
after the middle of August, to the
house of one Tomkins, in or near Mil
ford. There they remained in com

Wurkmen in tearing down an old
house at New Haven uncovered an
Client masonry believed to have been
built by the judges who condemned
Charles to death and who were for
years refugees in New England.
Before the restoration of Charles II,
in 1860, to the throne of his ancestors
he had issued declaration" promis-
Ing to al persons but such as should
be excepted by parliament n pardon
for offpnScs committed during CrOm-
wcllian times. In the parliamentary
act of indemnity which followed such
as had been directly concerned in the
execution of Charles | were excepted
Colonel Whalley and Colonel COTE
were members Of the high court of jus
tice which convicted and sentenced
him. 1t was soon known that they had
fed from England, and Captain
Breeder reported that on trip to New
England he had seen them in Boston.
The ministry promptly sent an order
10 Governor Endicott of Massachusetts
for their apprehension and transporta-
ton back to England.
No one of the New England colonies
had formally expressed approval Of
the execution of Charles I, but still
these regicides had a notably friendly
welcome extended to them in America.
At the end of four months, says the
New York Herald intelligence reached
Massachusetts Of the act of indemnity
and that Whalley and COTE were
among those excepted from its provi-
sions and that they had been marked
for vengeance. Still for three months
longer they lived at Cambridge unmo-
Tested. Meanwhile, however, affairs
had been growing critical between Mas
sachusetts and England, and. though
some members of the general court OF
Massachusetts assured them of protcc-
ton, others thought 1t more prudent
that they should have hint to look to
their safety in some way which would
not imply an affront to the royal gov
eminent on the part Of the colony.

Teach the Children to Work.

Many parents make serious mis-
take with their children in not train
ing them to habits of industry from
earliest childhood. An idle child is
sure to find some mischief to engage
its attention.
The nature of child is to be busy.
Did you ever see healthy child still
minute unless asleep? Mind and
body of the child must be busy at all
times, Give it some task for each day
and see that it does it and does it
properly and at the proper time.
Each member of household should
have some allotted task for which it
is held responsible. Don't crowd the
child with overwork or heavy tasks,
but give it certain amount OF regul-
ar work which it must do, and do
it right, every day. Guide the child
rem n theirsports. Assist and encour-
age them in innocentand useful pas
times. The lutte girls can pleasantly
be taught the use of the needle by en-
couraging them to dress their dolls in
the most pleasing manner. Also house
keeping and order and ncatness in the
manner in which they keep their
playhouses.
The boys should be encouraged to
whittle and as they grow older to use
other tools than the pocket knife, and
always to make something for amuse-
ment or profit. A little pains taken
by the parents in the early training
OF their children, in this way, will de-
velop habits of industry and will save
them much worry and trouble with
the children as they grow older.
The great bane Of town life to the
growing boy is his idleness. Parents
in town seem to think there is nothing
for the boy to do and he is allowed to
roam the streets in idleness. Yet,
there is plenty for the boy to do, even
IN town, II the parents will help and
encourage him little to get start.
Give him an old hen and let him take
care OF her and see how many chickens
he can raise in two or three years. Sc
cure vacant lot a I'D set him to rails
ing garden. Give him pig and see
that he attends to it carefully, and
that it is his pig when it grows up.
Make him hustle for its feed. He
can get plenty Of slop to raise it by
simply carrying it from the neighbors.
Develop his mechanical powers by
giving him tools and encouraging him
to use them. Praise the boy when he
makes something useful and show him
when he needs little help. There is
no excuse for the idle town boy any
more than the idle country boy. If
your boy grows up in idleness and
worthlessness, the fault is mainly with
the parent.
