Jumping lightly over the prostra1e pail of us, passed through the gate, which he banged behind him.
 Let me go, you dotard!" I shouted to the care-taker. Let me go before strike you. must follow that man at all costs.''
 The old fellow was a man of spirit. notwithstanding his years, and held me so stoutly-I could not bring n.y. self to strike him-that some seconds passed before could shake off his grip.
 When at last I managed to wrench myself free and leaped up to follow lubbock, 1t was only to find that had left the frying-pan for the fire.
 From the open door of the hall a swaying throng was now surging like devils vonited from the mouth of he'll Some of them must have heard the meaningless cry of Stop him! stop, thief" with which the old care-taker saluted my flying figure. All I know is that for the second tims that even- ing I was. reminded of my football days, only on this occasion 1t seemed to me that I was the football and the
 
 two dozen of devils-mad for blood, and pounding and bashing at me with hands and sticks, as well as with feet were the players.
 The old mans meaningless cry of "Stop, thief" had led them no doubt, to suppose that I was the stealer of the money, and that, if they were only quick enough about it. they might se- cure the booty for themselves.
 1t did not take long to undeceive them, for in less than half minute I hadn't as much as rag to my back and l was allowed to drag myself, bleeding, breathless, naked, and trembling in every limb, to 8 corner, where lay feeling as one might who had been snatched from the ravening jaws of pack of hungry wolves.
 It was some days before I was suff1- ciently recovered to journey to Tar borough to claim my share of the money and to hear how Number Two had fared. I had telegraphed to say I was coming by the three o'clock train, and lubbock was there with the trap to meet me.
 Well, is the money safe, Hubbock?" l said, as we drove off from the sta- ton.
 'Yes, sir. took care of that Your share Is waiting for you all right Rather cheaply earned, sir, wasn't it?"
 ''No," answered, gruffiy. "It struck me as rather dear Where's your mas ter?'
 'In bed, sir--what's left of him. And a bad attack, too"
 "Attack-what of?''
 "A catching complaint, sir You ap- pear to have suffered from it, too-- universal brotherhood, the master calls it. What did you say, sir?p
 But what I said about universal brotherhood is not it for publication.

FoRTIFYlNG PORT ARTHUR.
Goodies Paid Seven and Eight Cents Day.

The work of fortifying was done mainly by manual labor, with as little use of machinery as possible. All the dirt for the fills and the entertainments and that removed from the cuts was dug up by primitive Chinese shovels, and carried in baskets, two of which were suspended upon pole balanced over coolie's shoulder, says the Chi cago Record Herald. Instead of using pumps to get the water out of depres- sions, tightly woven baskets with rope at each end were sllillfully swung by two stout men so as to carry water from one reservoir to another higher, whence in the same manner 1t was lifted to an other, and so on to the required height. So cheap was human labor that these primitive methods were really the most economical, seven or eight cents day being considered high wages for coolie.

search of a plausible excuse aroused his suspicion, for when said that l was only taking an airing, as the heat of the hall had made me faint, he an- swered, none too genially-
 Then you take airin' somewhere else. These ain't infrmary grounds, and if you feel faint the best thing you can do Is to nip round to the Red Cow and get two penny orth of brandy"
 "Oh, shall be all right in a min ute, my friend, thank you," I said, thinking it best to humor him. "i don't care to go out into the street for the present, it's too crowded; but don't you bother about me, shall be all right when I've had a stroll round in the air for few minutes;' and with that I essayed to slip past him, being impatient of this unlooked-for hindrance.
 Well, you can't stroll round here" he said, barring the way with his bulky figure. We can't have no strangers along this passage. It's private prop erty; so out you go and sharp"
 Finding him thus obdurate, I did WudI ought IO nave uOue aL urSL, and slipped coin-half a crown I thought 1t was s-into his hand. His fingers closed upon 1t in an instant T don't want to be disagreeable when q gentleman ain't. feeling quite well," he began. "A1l the same" Then he stopped disgusted. t'Why, it ain't arf crown. It's penny-not so much even as the price of drink. If you think"
 Just then I heard the bursting of the bomb inside the hall. There was not a moment to lose if was to secure the bag, so, determining to take by force what had been refused me as a favor, nudged my shoulder to the care takers chest and charged" him tr the good old fashion of the football field.
 Would your" he shouted. "You rascal! knew you were after no good!" and catching at my coat col. lar as was in the act of passing him he tried to swing me round, but, los ing his balance, fell back heavily on the gravel, dragging me, sprawling over his chest, on top of him. As we went down, man--it was evidently Hubbock-c carrying something in his hand darted round the corner, and

Use of Music in Surgery

Perhaps the strangest use to which music can be put Is to stop the flow of blood from wound. A British army doctor noticed that when wounded soldier was taken to within an easy hearing distance of music hemorrhage was greatly reduced or stopped. Neither he nor others, who confirmed his observations, could understand how this phenomenon was brought about, but 1t is now believed that the vibration of the air produced by the music causes the patient to become faint. in which case the action of the heart is so considerably lessened that the overflow of blood Is reduced.

ING IT TO ATTENTION.
Mr.. Mcfarland, President Of Board of
Commissioners, Gives Brief
Outline Of Program.

The governors Of states have issued proc
lamations calling attention to the celebra-
ton of state days atsthe st. Louis EXPOSE
ton, and the Commissioners Of the District
of Columbia have been requested to make
similar announcements as to District OF
Columbia day, October 10 next Accord
ingly they issued today the following
statement: g.
THE Commissioners of the District Of
Columbia invite the attention Of the people
Of the District Of Columbia to the fact that
Wednesday, October 10, 1904, has been set
apart as District of Columbia day at the
Louisiana purchase exposition.a.St. Louis
Mo. Arrangements have been made by a
committee of representative citizens for
celebration on that occasion which will be
cieditable to the national capital. The
program prepared by that committee pro-
vides for a reception in the United States
government building, the use of which has
been granted by the United States govern
meeting in the Missouri state building
where appropriate addresses will be deltv-
cred. in the afternoon.
The management of the exposition Will
do all in its power to make the national

missioners hope that there may be large
attendance of the people of the District or

of a suitable representation OF the natlonal
capital. 1t is believed that a proper cele-
bration on this day will be of marked value
to the general progress of the District, es-
pecally by strengthening and increasing
the interest of the people of the country
in it's advancement and development.
