A PURSE FOR HlGHWAYMEN.
Highway Robbery Very Prevalent il

Highway Robbery Very Prevalent in
England a Century Ago.
The frequency of highway robberies
only a century ago sounds surprising
to the present generation. Horace
Walpole, in a letter to a friend, re-
counts an adventure of this kind which
befell him and his friend and neighbor,
Lady Browne, in the autumn of 1881.
The night l had the honor of writ
ing to your ladyship last l was rob
bed. Lady Browne and 1 were, as
usual, going to the Duchess Of Mont
rose at seven o'clock. The evening
was very dark. In the close lane I'M
der her park pale, and within twenty
yards of the gate, a black figure on
horseback pushed by between the
chaise and the hedge on my side.
l suspected it was a highwayman,
and so l found did Lady Browne, for
she was speaking and stopped.
To divert her fears l was just going
to say, us not that the apothecary go
ing to the duchess?" when l heard a
voice cry, Stop and the figure came
back to the chaise.
1 had the presence of mind before
let down the glass to take out my
watch and stuff it within my waist
coat, under my arm.
He said, Your purses and watches"
l replied, MY watch is not in my
pocket"
''Then your purse" 1 gave it to him
it had nine guineas. 1t was so dark
that l could not see his hand, but felt
him take it,
He then asked for Lady Brownies
purse and said, Don't be frightened;
will do you no hurt"
l said, mo; you won't frighten the
lady"
He replied, NO; give you my word
| will do no hurt"
Lady Browne gave him her purse and
was going to add her watch, but he
said, Il am much obliged to you. l
wish you good nightw Then he pulled
off his hat and rode away.
We'll" said l. Lady Browne, you
will not be afraid of being robbed an
other time. for you see there is moth
ing in it."
"Oh. but l amr' said she. "And now
l am in terrors lest he should return.
for l have given him a purse with my
old bad money thar carry on pur-
pose"
He certainly will not open it direct
ly," I said, land at worst he can only
wait for us at our return; but I will
send my servant back for a horse and
a blunderbuss." which l did.

it broke Mark Wegar's heart. My
wife Tilted him for myself. and it
seems that, out of pity, he afterward
married a cousin whom he discovered
had been in love with him for years.
The air you played the other evening
was one of Wegar's compositions, was
it nOt?'
Yes" replied Mark. "My father
left me the manuscripts, with the in
junction it was only to be played on
the twenty-second of November in
each year-the anniversary of what l
could never make out"
"Ah! my wife recognized the theme;
it was the old love song he used to
play to her and of which she had
been so fond. The date you mention
was the one on which she broke off
the engagement Old memories came
back to her, and-and-"
Say no more, sir. it's a painful sub
ject."
ITO be sure, to be sure! My wife
wishes me to tell you that, although
she broke your fathers heart, she has
no wish to break either yours or her
daughters. We are both willing you
should marry Elsie"

herself into his arms.-New York

to vote on the Cuban reciprocity bill on
the 16th~of December. l
In fact, he was the only man on the
republican side who understood ex-
actly what the terms Of the arrange
ment were, a circumstance which led
to somewhat embarrassing incident
one afternoon in executive session.
Senator Lodge tried to bring up mat
ter which was of no particular conse-
quence, but which as it happened did
not relate to the Cuban situation. Sem
ator German promptly objected. He
said it was contrary to the agreement
between the two sides Of the chamber.
The republicans who were present pro-
tested. They had never heard of any
such agreement which would put it out
of their power to do business of any
kind. But German was insistent And
when they pressed him for an explana-
ton, he gave one. He said Senator Al
crich had promised him that If the dem
ocrats would consent to the vote on the
10th of December, nothing whatever
would be done in the meantime during
the extraordinary session except to dis
cuss Cuban reciprocity. Aldrich had
left the city without telling anybody on
his own side of the chamber about what
he had done, but they accepted Cor
mans statement, and that was the end
of it.
