CHAPTER xvIl.-Continued.

The Captain, upon the landlords
| telling him that there was no other
outlet from the cellar, called his men
and proceeded to drink to their sue
cess. When they had satisfied their
thirst bound up their scratches, and
laughed little over little incidents
in the ARRAY, they began to parley
with the prisoner, Quentin Waters by
name.
The man being promised safe con-
duct back to JAIL came forth, grin
on his daredevil face. Doubtj began
to fit from one to another that they
had spent their strength in taking
the wrong man. They questioned
him. He knew nothing of the pris-
oner or his friends, denied being
Quentin Waters of Long Haut; boot
ed at the idea. He was Anthony
Bryne. tinker, on the way to Lon
don in search of work. He had hap
pened in at the inn for bite of sup
per, and had only seen the men as
they rushed out of the house to meet
the Guards. When the men had
pounced upon him he had in despera-
ton defended himself with his cudgel
He told his story well, and mine
host of the Tabard corroborated what
he said CONSERVATION scame upon
them. One of the men said that
Quentin Waters was gentleman
about town, and that the boor could
not possibly be he. To clap the eli
max. another one asserted with posi-
tiveness that the fellow was not the
prisoner wanted, for he had seen
Quentin Waters often about London,
and that he was at least two inches
taller, and also of a darker COM
plexion.
At this the captain wanted to know
why in h-ll he hadn't said so before.
The soldier replied that he hadn't
been near enough to get good look
at him. So with elimination and
recrimination, they were like to have
a small fight among themselves when
the captain hot-mouthed remembered
his dignity, and put the still smiling
fellow under arrest.
1t being now too late TO go in
search of the man, and heavy fog
about, they returned to London a sor-
ry lot

TELL THE COMING WEATHER.
Observant Persons Need Never Be
Caught Mapping.

"If the chickweed and scarlet pims
pernel expand their tiny petals, rain
need not be expected for few hours"
says a writer. Bees work with re-
doubled energy just before rain. IL
the flies are unusually persistent
either in the house or around stock
there is rain in the air. The cricket
sings at the approach of cold weather.
Squirrels store large supply OF
nuts, the husks of corn are unusually
thick and the buds of deciduous trees
have a firmer protecting coat if Sc
we're winter is at hand. If the poplar
or quaking asp leaves turn up the un-
der side rain will soon follow.
IF the camphor bottle becomes roily
it is going to storm. When it clears
settled weather may be expected This
idea has seemingly been utilized in
the manufacture of some of our cheap
barometers. The main trouble is, they
seldom foretell the change until about
the time it arrives.
Last, but not least, the rheumatics
can always tell It in their bones
when a storm is approaching, and OF
this representation the octogenarian
of to-day is as firm an advocate as
were his forefathers.'
