Danger Ahead.

A knavish-looking fellow was once
charged before a magistrate with
stealing pair of trousers. The evil
dence against him not being strong
enough to convict him, he was ac-
quilted, after patient investigation
of the case. The accused, however,
to the surprise of everybody, re-
manned in the dock. Thinking he
could not hear or did not understand
the magistrates decision, the lawyer
who had been defending him told him
he was at liberty to go about his bust
ness if he had any. The man, how
ever, shook his head slightly, but did
not move. "You are discharged.
Why don't you go?" asked the lawyer.
BY this time the court was nearly
empty, and the accused, leaning for
ward, whispered to his defender:
Il can't leave the dock till all the wit
nesses against me are gone" "Why?"
asked the man of law. Because of
the trousers" answered the other.
Don't you understands" "Most GER
tainly I do not!" said the solicitor.
what about the trousers?" "Only
this, sir-I've got them on!''-London

Prune Your Possibilities,

AS a rule, after man has reached
his meridian, he will go on doing as he
has done before; he has become prac.
tically a slave to his environment and
habits of life. Prune your sapling
before time has made it's rings and
hardened the fibers of the tree. The
fruit are the results of judicious prun-
ing in the springtime of the life of the
plant or tree. The finest manhood and
womanhood can be developed by a
wise use of the pruning knife in
youth, and the benefits will be found
in old age.-Success.

CHAPTER II.

3 1t was just after sunset, when, for
the second time, the hot boxes of the
recruit car had been treated to lib
eral ibations from the water-tank,
and the belated train again
moved on.
Dinner had been ready in the din
ing-car full hour, but so long as
the sickening smell of burning waste
arose from the trucks Immediately
in front very few of the passengers
seemed capable of eating. The car,
as consequence, was crowded to-
wards eight o'clock, and the steward
and walters were busy men.
The evening air, drifting in
through open windows, was cooler
than it had been during the day,
but still held enough of the noontide
caloric to make fans comfort, and
Mr.. Stuyvesant, dining at ''four-in-
hand" table well to the front, and
attempting to hold his own in a
somewhat desultory talk with his
fellow-men, found himself paying far
more attention to the lovely face
of the girl across the aisle than to
the viands set before him.
She was seated facing the front,
and opposite the austere maiden
previously mentioned. Conversation
had already begun, and now Stuyve-
SAINT was able to see that, beautiful
in feature as was her face in repose.
animated and smiling.
When to well-nigh perfect external
features there is added the charm of
faultlessly even and snowy teeth and
a smile that illumines the entire face,
shining in the eyes as it plays about
the pretty, sensitive mouth, a young
woman is. fully equipped for con-
quest.

No woman is so assured that
beauty is only skin deep as she who
has none of it. Her manner, there
fore, had been decidedly stiff, and
from that had imperceptibly ad-
vanced to condescension, but when
the steward presently appeared with
a siphon of iced seltzer, and, bowling
deferentially, said he hoped every
thing was to Miss Rays liking, and
added that it seemed long time

supposed he 1pust be colonel now,
