most mighty navy to a private inter.
view at midnight! Even in times like
these 1t seemed preposterously impu-
dent; but this man came as friend
from the land of silent terror which
threatened to conquer the world, was
undoubtedly in deadly earnest, and
was a means of information between
what had actually happened and what
was to come.
"'Time will not wait, even for
kings" quoted the monarch with
some undesirable of bitterness, and
from his guest came the whispered re-
turn:

royal box paid any attention to this
feat. Bevins remained in an attitude
of expectancy, waiting for the kings
next words. The success or failure
of his enterprise might depend upon
them, and in this light they seemed
of almost tragic consequence.
What do you propose?" the ruler
asked, again facing the admiral as
though there had been no lapse of
time; and the other, relieved by this
sign of assent, gave an involuntary
and deep-drawn sigh of relaxation.

A Novel Case.

One Of the most novel cases In
court that we ever heard Of Is now
before Mayor Hair. A negro woman
named Hattie Hampton stole a set
of false teeth from another negro
woman named Anna Bowling. A
warrant was sworn out before the
mayor and the Hampton woman ar
rested. The case has not been tried
yet, and she is out on bond. 1t
seems that the two women were
ironing at Anna Dowling's house,
and she had her false teeth in
glass of water on a table. After Hat
tie Hampton left she missed her
teeth, and upon making inquiry was
told by neighbor that she had seen
Hattie Hampton with the teeth. The
stolen article is a plate containing a
gold tooth, and is valuable, and it
is certainly the queerest theft we
ever heard of.
