 MISS CHAPMAN TRIES FLIGHT. TATHILE these preparations for RAf her rescue were under way w the unconscious prisoner in
 Labrador had at last awak- Aned to a realiza tion of her position. While rummaging among the books in the library she had come upon the autobiography of Henry Morton. It was not book likely to attract the attention of a young woman, but she turned over it's leaves, thinking more of the gap which the absence of Com modore Brown had left than of what she was idly looking at. Presently as she opened the volume in another place a letter sheet wedged between the leaves lay exposed full to view: Captain Alfonso Payton:
 My Dear Captain-The damage to the Chameleon from our accident after carry ing off Miss Peterson of Peoria Is more serious than you supposed. find that four or five days will be required to re- pair her. I have sent her to shop here and will report to you as soon as she Is ready. Respectfully.
 ABRAM SMELLING,
 Lieutenant Cincinnati. July 1. 1884.
 Miss Grayman was aghast. Her hands convulsively grasped her throat as the truth burst upon her. The name of the Chameleon alone was enough, but now she suddenly remem- bered to have heard or read of Cap n, the man who had succeeded in awak ing so much persenal~interest in her. And sine was his prisoner. This was the romantic adventure that her fancy had conjured up, invented by her friends, approved by her father and SC innocently and joyously entered upon by herself. Oh, what fool she had been! Oh, how she detested this villain, who had hoodwinked her and drawn from her smiles and sentiments, for which she now hated herself!
 She read the letter again, and the name of Smelling" struck her. She had heard Payton address one of his me1 by that name. But no more con- firmation was needed. The scales had dropped completely from her eyes. Stimulated by indignation, strength and resolution came to her.

few moments. but he did not. and the
feast was ended without his presence.
"Of course, there was searching for
him. and 1t was recalled that he had
asked where Alexander B. johnson
lived. A few gentlemen thereupon
went to Mr.. Johnson's house. There
they found Lafayette In earnest con-
v~ersation with Mrs. johnson. Seeing
his late hosts. he seemed suddenly to
recall the fact that he had abruptly
left the feast, and he said to them:

How Sir William Hankford o Years
Ago Evaded Law Against Com
hitting Suicide.

Suicides often adopt ingenious
methods. but the art OF the felo d. Sc
seem not to have advanced material

case OF a heavily insured broker who
on a feigned hunting trip stood bare
legged in a quagmire for hours and
wilfully contracted a fatal pneumonia
is matched in cleverness by one 500
years old.
The following facts are well vouched
for. and indeed were never ques-

One of the towns that Lafayette
slsited when he was in this country
In 1S24-5 was Utica. ". Y. | was in
my fifth year at that time, and | can
just remember the visit. But l know
that while he was in Utica Lafayette
Tic one thing that caused no end of
comment for years there. | presume
that 1t was utterly unlike any other
incident OF Lafayette's triumphal tour
OF the country fifty a after the
signing OF the Declaration of indie
pendence- My father told me about it.
and he knew whereof he spoke from
personal knowiedge; for as a prom
1nent citizen of Utica. and one who
was deeply interested financially In
Erie canal shipping, then just begin
ming, he was one of those who well
coined Lafayette to Utica"
So said to me the late Commodore
Alfred Van Santvoord of New York
city. who. at the time of his death In
1901. was the owner OF the largest
fleet of river steamers in America and
worth ten million dollars.
Lafayette arrived in Utica over the
newly opened Erie canal" continued
the commodore; his was one of the
hrst trips made on that canal. The
citizens OF the town had arranged a
great feast in honor Of the distin-
gu1shed guest, and to 1t Lafayette
was conducted is 500 as the formal
welcoming was over. Lafayette was
IN high spirits; from his place at the
table he greeted the goodly number OF
survivors of the Revolutionary war
who were present-among them was
Rev. Daniel Walso, who was one OF
the last, if not the last survivor OF
that war-and promised to shake
hands with them all after the feast
vas over.
Suddenly, IN the midst of the feast
Lafayette felt in a pocket, pulled GU,
a memorandum, and then, turning tC
one of the hosts, who sat next to him
asked II Alexander B. johnson was
present. He was told that Mr.. John.
son was not in the banquet hall and
then he asked where Mr.. johnson
lived. Having received that informa
ton. Lafayette turned to the presid
ing officer and said that it would be
necessary for him to retire for a time
from the feast. Then he abruptly lief,
the table. Some thought he was i'll;
all were astonfshed at the action. II

Civil war an officer who had served

strife with the rank of major. returned
to his home in New Haven. Conn He
had gained a good reputation as a
writer before he laid. down the pen to
take up the sword. He had written an
exhaustive history of the Indians OF
Connecticut. He was a constant con-
tributor to the Atlantic Monthly and
to Harper's Magazine. He was spok-
en- of in the days of the war as one
of three Americans writer's of great
