An Accidental SmuqqIer.

IN the smoking room of the Hotel des
lies Britanniques at the lovely resort
of Mentone on the French Riviera, some
three years ago, two Englishmen met
After half an hours conversation the
Englishman from Manchester said to his
new acquaintance from London:
Il say. old fellow, would you mind TAX
ing small parcel for me to Paris and
have it sent to this address there? I'm
leaving for Milan I'm the morning"
The Londoner willingly consented to do
this much for one of his countrymen
Awfully goDd Of you. I'll have the boy
bring the parcel to your room in the
morning." acknowledged the Englishman
bound for Milan.
In the morning the package was left al
$50 that is what he calls a small par
cel," he exclaimed. And what might it
contain? A package of such size the
custom officers woulL certainly want
them. Is it possible that any one could
have the audacity to ask such favor:
to smuggle 1900 cigarettes into France.
That chap shall pay for this. for shall

The Londoner left Mentone that after
noon. The following day he was in Paris.
at the Care de lEst, his luggage ready
for examination.
Anything dutiable," asked the custom
officer
Nothing" replied the Englishman, "ex.
cepting I'm that parcel there
What does il contain?"
Three thousand cigarettes" said the
Londoner with smile upon his face-a
smile of embarrassment at having such a
parcel with him.
The Frenchman raised his hands in the
air and laughed heartily. He, too. was
as ready for a good joke as any one: and

Hardly realizing what had happened,

Held Up Monte Carlo.

r HOSE who have visited Monte Carlo
have heard of, if not seen, the pitiful
ruin Of many an unfortunate person who
has lost his last franc in playing at
roulette in that palatial gambling den.
All are not SO fortunate as to have an
armored cruiser at their disposal, as was
the case with French naval officer
some years ago. He had gone ashore in
the morning with naught in his pockets
but his own earnings. BY noon it was
all gone.
If he but had another 800 francs he
was sure of winning! During those morn
ing hours Of failure he had worked out
a system, and with just few francs
more success was certain. He would use
the ships money! Perhaps it was not
just the right thing to do, but in another
two hours he would be able to return 1t.
would have recouped his own loss and
sides.
At sunset he returned to his ship, a
ruined man. The system, like all sys-
TENS of the sort, had failed. What was
to be done? To return home would mean
a dishonorable discharge. lifelong dis
grace, if not even more severe punish
ment. Death seemed the only alternative.
But no-he would make one final attempt
10 save HlilSel. ne "ooiu AOiCc Tie
authorities of Monte Carlo to return to
him what he had lost. or he would blow
up their gambling palace!
AS soon as he was again on board his
order was: Clear decks for action !:
raise the muzzle of every gun, and let
them point toward the heights Of
Monaco"
Whatever the sailors might think of
such an order mattered little, obey they
must With all haste messenger was
sent ashore with note, and the captain
meanwhile paced the deck in silence,
awaiting the reply-a reply which meant
life or death to him.
Finally the messenger returned carry
ing a bag of gold coins! That night the
French cruiser weighed anchor and quiet
" steamed out into the Mediterranean
her captain happy that he had Jared no
worse, and the authorities of Monte Carlo
only too glad to be rid of so dangerous a
visitor.
