Indeed agreed Captain Daily, 1--WE
have had a most fortunate escape"
meanwhile considering whether 1t was
not his duty to cut down his man then
and there, seize his papers. and escape.
| He had certainly the power to do this,
| and probably few men in his position
would have hesitated; but Captain
Days honor, however inscrutable were
its twistings, did not allow of his STAY
ing in cold blood the man who had
I saved his life; so he racked his brains to
think of some other means of possess
! ing himself of the priceless documents.
Fate favored him. There were no
| troops in the village, but the inn was
OPEN and the patron believed he could
provide chaise and four horses; mean
while he made great fire for his
guests and prepared for them metl.
| When the two were alone Daily nom
chalantly drew off his coat and
stretched it out before the fire to dry,
doing the same with all his clothing.
| The other innocently followed his ex-
ample. The two men faced each other
stark naked.
Then the captain took up a pack OF
cards that stood on the mantelshelf.
"Vous savez lie jeu de lansquenet?" he
demanded.
"Bien sur!" answered the other ea-
gerly. and in minute they were at 1t.
Daily lost the first COUP and suddenly
remembered that he mad no money.
Blushing with shame, he nevertheless
mechanically went overSto the fire and
put his hand in his pocket-the pocket,
that is to say, of the dead Chasseur.
His fingers burned at the touch of five
louis dor.
He lost four out of the five, and then
at last his luck turned. He won back
his four gold pieces and twenty more
belonging to the aide-de- camp. 1t was
the other now who looked small.
II have no more money to stake"
said he
Never mind" said DAILY; stake any,
thing at all-stake your clothes"
IF you don't want them at once, l
will do SO willingly said the aide-de-
camp; but I fear they will be too big
for vou."
you are right" replied DAILY; per
haps l had better try them on. Have
your permission?"
Certainly" said the aide-de-camp.

erately drew on his own socks, and
over them the long cuirrassier boots; he
tied the petticoat round his waist,
drew on the tunic, buttoned 1t, and
bucl1led the claymore belt around him.
Then he took up the clothes which he
had discarded, and under the nose Of
the dumbfounded aide-de-camp pitched
the heap into the roaring fire.
The next instant he was out of the
house and footing it down the street az
though ten thousand devils trod on his
heels.
The naked aide-de-camp pursued him
to the waters edge but only to receive
the paternal advice from the departing
skiff that If he jumped in he would
drown, and if he drowned his body
would shock the Spanish ladies.

The Travelling Men.

Alexandria Herald. One travel
ing man bet another at Mitchell
Monday SIS and the oysters for the
crowd that out Of the FIRST 100 travel
ing men they met SO would be for
Mckinley. The test was made and
every travelling man was asked his
political preference. It turned out
that just IS out Of the 100 were for
Bryan and three OF the 1o were
travelling for the Standard Oil Trust.
Such demonstration answers pretty
.efectually the claim that the travel
ing men are for Bryan.

Some Farm Prices.

Aberdeen News. Few people can
say conseientiousb that they have
not Jared better during the past
three years than during the three
years proceeding, or that the out
look now is not brighter than if was
in 1896, when Bryan predicted that
if he failed of election this country
would go to the dogs. The price of
everything the farmer sells has ad
vanced materially, while the cost
OF what he buys has not increased in
like proportion. The following com
parisons OF prices were compiled by
an Iowa paper and may serve to re-
refresh the memory:

corn will buy 21a pounds of coffee,
when in 1896 it bought but two
thirds OF a pound?

"A yards of gingham, while in 1896

bushels?
That III bushels Of corn will buy
a wagon, while in 1896 it took 544
bushels, or that 90 bushels Of wheat
will buy the same wagon, while in
1896 it took no bushels?

chilled plow, while in 1896 it took
lIoo bushels.

| ~ yards Of calico, while in 1896 it
bought a1ayards?
/ That nine bushels of corn will buy
a lseg of nails, while in 1896 it took
ten bushels2

/ lbuy 2 yards OF Lonsdale muslin, for
which it took five in 1896?

What amount OF money invested in any

the National Life is one OF the best things
OF the kind under the sun.
