Ancient Coffee Houses.

The coffee house Is every night
crowded with men Of parts, says the
Connoisseur. Almost every one YOU
meet is a polite scholar and a wit.
Jokes and bonmots are echoed from
box to box; every branch of nature Is
critically examined and the merit OF
every production Of the press or per-
Torrance at the theaters weighed and
determined. This school-to which I
am myself indebted for a great part of
my education, and in which, though
unworthy, | am now arrived at the
honor OF being a public le~cturer-has
bred up many authors, to the amazing
entertainment and instruction of their
readers. Buttons, the grand ~archetype
of the Bedford, was frequented by Adj
olson, Steele, Pope and the rest Of that
celebrated set who flourished at the
beginning OF this century and was re-
garded with just Difference on account
Of the real geniuses who frequented
it. But we can now boast men OF SUI
perior abilities-men who, without any
n acquired excellence, by the nero
dint OF a happy assurance, can exact
the same tribute of ~veneration and re-
ceive 1t as due to the illustrious char
~acters, the scribblers, layers, fiddlers,
gamblers, that make so large a part OF
the company at the Bedford.

Not only was Rob received with en-
thusiasm by his uncle, aunt and cous-
In, but he was the hero of Buenos
Ayres. The president gave him a gold
medal, on which was the date and the
story OF the valuable services Rob had
rendered he government. The BLACK

eminent. and the president used his
innuence, and this was also given to
Rob. 1t was a very handsome little
schooner. meme O large for a yacht,
and Mr.. Horton accepted 1t for Rob,
and at once placed a reliable crew
on it.
Many a good sail has Rob had on
that schooner since that day, and
many a stirring adventure has he had
while off on business for Mr.. Horton.
Mr.. Horton is delighted with Rob's
quickness In grasping the details Of his
large business enterprises. and there
is no doubt that il Rob lives, he will
be not only a true. brave man, but a
rich II as we'll.

You will be shot by either side. Now,

for nothing. You are going to save
the government. You will be rewarded
for that, and all else will be forgotten.
What do you say?"
Some Of the crew understood all OF
this, some a little, and a few none at
all. But they talked rapidly among
themselves. Those who had stood by
Rob had the best Of the argument.
Those who had been with Starne saw
their leader lying on the deck-nrob-
ably dying. What could he do for
them? They gave in, and joined Rob's

In a short time the BLACK Cat" was
swung around, and went speeding up
the river. Rob was, OF course. not
able to give any orders to navigate the
vessel, but he felt that the crew could
be trusted. He had frightened them
when he spoke as IL the letter to Mr..
Horton had not been the only letter he
wrote giving the plot away to the gov

dug up In the heart Of Paris. The dis
tinguished French e~rchaeologist.
Charles Magnew, has made excava-
lions in the Rue Cassini, where he
had long suspected there lay the re-
mains Of old Roman glories. He dis
covered the cover OF a tomb On which
Is sculptured In bas relief a Roman
blacksmith, wearing his apron. In
his left hand he b%randishes a long
pair Of p~incers ard forceps. The right
arm is broken off. but probably held a
hammer. M. Magnew Judges that the
work Is of the first century.

was a shout from those who remained.

"The cub must die. Stand aside!"
The pistol was raised again, and at
the same moment q dozen other pistols
came into view. Starne's men had
some. and Rob's men the rest.
This Is mutiny!" yelled Starne at
those who stood by Rob. II will have
you all in prison."
Back In the group there was one OF
lighter shade than the rest. He had
quite an intelligent face. He had as
yet said nothing. In reply to Starne's
last threat this man stepped forward.
"You iie," he said. "This Is not ma
tiny. A crew cannot mutlny only
against its officers. You have no bust
ness on this schooner. You have killed
our captain. We will not stand by

Then take this!" said Starne, firing
his pistol at the man.
Inc pail TOOK erect In his arm, and
he uttered a shout of rage. In an in
slant a half dozen shots had been fired.
Several OF the crew were wounded.
And Lemuel Starne lay writhing on
the deck.

The earnest air OF the young fellow

spector, readily seeing that there was
nothing for him to do there, had the
grace to depart.
Rob was greeted with overwhelming
caresses by his aunt and cousin, who

over whom 1t would be necessary to
keep a constant watch. Here was a

Gle hurried him off to see the president.
Rob soon told his experience. and

Rob went home with his uncle, and

adventures with Starne and Elvin.
and on board the "Black Cat"
What panied them most was to learn
that Lemuel Starne. the man whom
they had trusted, and who had almost
succeeded in winning the regard Of
Elsie, was such a villain.
Rob told his uncle OF the promise he
had made to the crew OF the BLACK
Cat" and Mr.. Horton assured him that
It would be substantiated by the presi-
dent.
There was little need Of proceeding
to any extent to identify Rob, for Mr..
Horton recognized him from the photo
graph sent from New York. And II
any further Identification should prove
necessary, there vas time enough for
that in the future.

Visual Defects Frequently Neutralize

A conversation with a prominent

men Of large affairs where decided
executive ability and strong mental
equipment were requisite, 1t was com.

Thus, if it is a fact that the human

that, In the case Of an eye which pre-

crease in the size Of the skull referred
