A REAL ROMANCE

The saying that there is honor among
thieves suggests the thought that if
the virtue began a little further back
it might prevent any practise of the
profession. However, brigandage be-
ing an established fact, one may per-
NIT himself to admire the gallantry
displayed by the bandit whose exploit
is described by Andrew f. Crosse in
his book Around About the Carpa-
thians."
A certain lady, the widow of a
wealthy man of title, inhabited lonely
castle not far from the route between
Buda and Vienna. One morning she
received a polite note requesting her
to provide that night at 10 o'clock a
supper for twelve gentlemen.
She knew at once the character of
her self-invited guests and devised a
novel mode Of defense. She dared not
send for aid, for she knew every road
between the castle and any town would
be watched to prevent communica-
ton, so she made ner own plans
At 10 that evening up rode an armed
band of twelve. The great gate of the
outer court was thrown open as if for
an honored quest. The lady herself,
richly dressed, stood at the entrance
to receive. She at once selected the
chief, bade him welcome and gave
orders that the horses should be well
cared for. Then, taking the arm of the
chief, she led the way to the dining
room.
A goodly feast was spread on the
table and the sideboards were covered
with magnificent display of gold and
silver plate.
The leader of the robber band start
ed back in surprise, but, recovering
his presence of mind, he calmly seat
ed himself by his hostess.
When the meal was nearly finished
the chief took out his watch.
Madame" he said, the happiest
moments of my life have always been
the shortest. 1 have another engage
ment tonight which 1 must keep, but
before 1 go allow me to tell you that
in appealing to my honor as you have
tonight you have saved me from the
commission of a crime. Bad as 1 am,
no one ever appealed to my honor in
vain. AS for my men, l charge them
to take nothing from this house. He
who disobeys dies that instant"
The brigand then asked for paper and
pen, and wrote few sentences in
strange characters.
"If you or your retainers ever lose
anything" he added to his hostess,
post this publicly in the nearest town
and 1 pledge my word the missing
article shall be returned"
The band departed. A few weeks
later the chief was captured and
hanged. He proved to be the impov-
erished younger son Of a noble family
in Hungary.

use 1000, 100000 matches a year and
it is said that half Of them are burned

cheap and Insignificant compared with
some articles Of wood, but the manu-
facturers complain that they are be-
ginnig to find the raw material for
their product scarce. Only the choic-

learned of the doings Of the pair. Mr.
Farwell came TO town and laid the

country Is to favor aud build up large
cities at the expense OF rural commun-
tiles. said Governor stubbs in a sen.

is little less than a crime against civil
ization; such a policy robs hundreds
OF thousan6s of children of their natur

true policy would be TO regulate trans.

The governor explained that the
purpose OF the conference TO which
the governors of so many states have
been invited was to protect the pro-
