 The two Bellaeosela have assisted the ladies to the deck.
 Now, gentlemen" asks Barnes of the young bandits, what can do for you for bringing me my wife,"
 You can give us the pistols that make incredible shots answers one of the young men.
 By them we will kill many gendarmes,' whispers the ether.
 Sorry for the gendarmes. but the pistols go," laughs Barnes, and passes his weapons to these nice young band it's, who, after kissing the ladies' hands, take their leave with many words of gratitude and thanks.
 T fear I'm leaving murder behind me" signs the American.
 Yes, nothing will cure this country but half dozen railroads remarks the detective. Then you're able to get about and handcuff a man"
 The vessel is soon under way, leav- ing the Corsican coast. The ladies, worn out with fatigue are asleep in the little cabin, where there is only room for two.
 As their husbands seated on the deck are smoking languidly their cigars, Barnes whispers to Edwin: Il rather imagine this vendetta is set tied for good. Marina is again beloved by the people of her commune, and you will be honored when you go back with her to visit her estates"
 And the Danellas?"
 "Oh, don't think there will be much said about them. The 'Lucchese' have been raising the devil in the last few days. Anyway, Clip had to be plant cd; he was the dangerous one; he was the money of the affair.

PICNIC FOR THE PUP.
His Devotion 10 Duty Rewarded by
 Strange Lusuries.

A Boston bulldog owned by George H. Clapp was so determined to cap ture a woodchuck which he had chased into its den that he followed ager and staid in the hole all night.
 When the dog had got his jaws about the enemy he found that he could not get out owing to the small size Of the animals hole.
 Rather than lose his prey the dog retained his hold on the woodchuck over night. and was helped out by his master in the morning The dog was nearly exhausted, and revived after feeding and drinking in a curious man ner.
 He consumed about two quarts of unguarded ice cream. which had been set aside for a party, and capped the climax by falling into a bucket of lem onade Worcester CMassl Telegram

 To avoid discussing Danella, Enid and Marina run upstairs to get on civilized clothes, the former says.
 "Oh, mama" cries Maud breaking into the room with the Nice morning paper in her hand. that detective is eating up everything in the house, and old Tomasso is chuckling over this telegram from Corsica: 'Saliceti, the vendetta man, is defeated for the chamber of deputies s-and-here's bad news for you, Barnsey-La Belle Blackwood is being married this morn ing in Bocognano to the great bandit who kills so many, the one they call the Bellacoscia"

 "Oh, can speak of her now mama, dear" remarks Maud naively; 'Blackey is now an honest wife"

 You're quite right-now get away smart-they may think it was bloody Italians" observes Emory, and makes himself useful helping the ladies down to the sea, 10 which some steep steps on the further side of the cliff lead them.
 From little jetty Barnes halls a boat that Is apparently in waiting from the fishing vessel. To the captain of the craft who is in the boats stern he cries: The Lucchese' are making row all along the coast. We must leave at once"

WhistIilig in English Streets.

In England whistling is very com mon among all classes. and, indeed, it is rare in London to see butcher or a grocer boy on his daily errands whose lips are not pursed up for the purpose of emitting the whistling notes of the comic song of the hour. So prevalent is the habit that in hotels, and even in clubs, requests are posted up to refrain from whistling."
