he collect his visitors at hazard from the streets?
 Brackenbury remembered that he had already delayed too long, and hastened to join the company. Many had left during his absence, and. counting the lieutenant and his host, there were not more than five persons in the drawing room, recently so thronged. MT. Morris greeted him as he re-entered the apart ment with smile and immediately rose to his feet.
 Tt is now time, gentlemen" said he, 'to explain my purpose in decoyine you from your amusements. I trust you did not find the evening hang very duly on your hands, but my object, I will confess it, was not to entertain your leisure, but to help myself in at unfortunate necessity. You are all gen. tlemen. Your appearance does you that much justice, and I ask for no better security. Hence I speak 1t without concealment. I ask you to render me a dangerous and delicate service--dangerou because you may run the hazard of your lives, and deli. cate because I must ask an absolute discretion upon all that you shall see or hear. From an utter stranger the request is almost comically extrav- agant. am well aware of this, and would add at once if there be any one present who has heard enough, if there be one among the party who re. coils from a dangerous confidence and a piece of quixotic devotion to he knows not whom, here is my hand ready, and I shall wish him good night and godspeed with all the sincerity in the world
 A very tall, black man, with heavy stoop, immediately responded to this appeal.

 "Well, gentlemen, what do you say2" said the tall man, addressing the oth. CTS. eve have had our evenings frol ic. Shall we all go homeward peace ably in body?< You will think well of my suggestion in the morning when you see the sun again in innocence and safety"
 The speaker announced the last words with an intonation which added to their force, and his face wore a singular expression, full of gravity and significance. Another of the company rose hastily and with some appear. iance of alarm, prepared to take bis leave. There were only two who held their ground, Brackenbury and an old red nosed cavalry major. But these two preserved nonchaIant demeanor and, beyond a look of intelligence which they rapidly exchanged, appeared entirely foreign to the discussion that had just been terminated.
 MT. Morris conducted the deserters as far as the door, which he closed upon their heels. Then he turned round, disclosing a countenance of mingled relief and animation, and ad- dressed the two officers as follows:
 s'I have chosen my men like Joshua in the Bible," said MT. Morris, 'and I now believe I have the pick of Lon- don. Your appearance pleased my hanson cabmen; then it delighted me. have watched your behavior in a strange company and under the most unusual circumstances. have studied how you played and how you bore your losses.

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP.

"This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking d teaspoon f,Il of this remedy and when the cough inc spell would come on at night I would take dose, and it seemed that in inc briefest interval the cough vo,ld pass off and would go to sIeep nerfectly free from cough and its ac- con,panying pains. To say that the remedy acted as most agreeable sur prise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had ney- or tried it for such purpose, but if did, and it seemed with the second at tack of coughing the remedy caused it not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle be- fore Mir Grip had bid me adieu.'

 "From his wisdom alone. if he had no other title,' pursued Colonel Ger aldine when the others had each satis- fed his curiosity, "n1y friend is man whose directions should implicitly be followed need not tell you, therefore, that have not so much as visited the neighborhood of Rochester House, and that I am still as wholly in the dark as either of yourselves as to the nature of my friends dilemma.

My scheme was at least original, and am far from regretting an action which has D, ocured me the services of Major O'Roo1e and Lieutenant Brackenbury Rich.

Thus even the most serious con- cerns," added the colonel, "have a merry side."
 And let us add a merry ending" said Brackenbury.
 The colonel consulted his watch.

the colonel gave each of them a loaded revolver and the three mounted into the cab and drove off for the address in question.
 Rochester House was a magnificent residence on the banks of the canal. The large extent of the garden isolated it in an unusual degree from the annoy ances of the neighborhood. It seemed the pare aux cerfs of some great noble man or millionaire. As far as could be seen from the street there was not q glimmer of light in any of the nu- merous windows of the mansion, and the place had a look of neglect, as though the master had long been from home.
 The cab was discharged, and the three gentlemen were not long in dis covering the small door, which was a sort of postern in lane between two garden walls. It still wanted ten or fifteen minutes of the appointed time. The rain fell heavily, and the adven- turers sheltered themselves below some pendent ivy and spoke in low tones of the approaching trial.
 Suddenly Geraldine raised his finger to command silence. and all three bent their hearing to the utmost. Through the continuous noise of the rain the steps and voices of two men became audible from the other side of the wall, and, as they drew nearer, Bra ackenbury, whose sense of hearing was remarka- bly acute. could even distinguish some fragments of their talk.
 "Is the grave dug?" asked one.
 ''It is" replied the other; behind the laurel hedge. When the job is done, we can cover it with pile of stakes"
 The first speaker laughed, and the sound of his merriment was shocking to the listeners on the other side.
 'Tn an hour from now" he said.
 And by the sound of the steps 1t was obvious that the pair had separated and were proceeding in contrary direc- tions.

 And the, veteran rendered his hand, which was red m tremulous, to the young lieutenant.

 BEAUMONT, Tex, April 16.--A care less workman kicked over lantern at one of the Caldwell oil wells on block 3S, Hogg-Swayne tract, on Spindle Top, and started fire that resulted in the loss of property valued at $1,000.- 900 and the bankruptcy of twenty or more of the smaller companies.
 There were 175 wells on the three blocks of the tract, and only five of the derricks and pump houses are left standing. Every company that had property in the Hogg- -Swayne tract is q loser. The fire swept the three blocks. covered with derricks and pump houses. clear of all its buildings. The derricks left are on the edges and are few and far between. None of the com- panies had cent of insurance.
