night in the midsummer OF 1909. in Fort
Delaware prison, when. long after taps.
we looked ont of the opening between the
planks at our bunk-the upper one of the
three--we saw Sam High and two com
rades. as the sentries walked away from
each other crawl out OF the lower bunk,
swim across the wide ditch few feet
away. and depart in the darkness. mar

came out Of the hospital with lantern
Sad to relate, about the second morning
after. Sam and his comrades were brought
back into the prison and cast into the dun

he prison. located on an isapd at the
head of the Delaware bav, they dashed
two boards together and w.th this impro-
vised raft made their way up and over
to the New Jersey shore. going over a
course OF fully ten miles to get there, and
once came near being swamped by
passing steamboat. They managed to bord
on a train and get as tar as Harve de

them up and brought them back into
prison. The brave and well-known Sam
High, who after exchange became a ter

we regret to learn later came to his
death by cold-blooded murder Mai.
Mcdonald says.
The Federal authorities offered
captains commission and 81, 900 as re-
ward for his capture, dead or alive.
Familiar with the sentiments aud
character Of his neighbors, Sam knew
whom to trust. and when he suspected
enc of giving information of his move
ments. took steps at once to get rid of
him. For this purpose, he arrested one
night man by the name of Spencer, a
deserter from the Confederate army. and
started 10 take him south TO his COM
mand. He stopped with his prisoner at
the house OF friend TO get their break

FEAT OF A MACGREG0R. i.
Wonderful Physical Strength That Was
Used to Good Purpose.

Sir William MacGregor was the hero
of such an adventure as one expects
ordinarily to read about only in fiction
of a certain hue.
The steamship Syria, with lot of
Indian coolies on board, struck on a
rock about twelve hours from Suva,
the capital of Fill
Dr. MacGregor, then acting colonial
secretary, organized relief expedi-
ton, clambered over a broken mast
that was the only path to the emf
grants and again and again returned
with man or woman on his back
and sometimes child, held by its
clothes between his teeth.
A man of vast physical strength.
MacGregor wanted it all for his final
feat. Down below on the reef was
woman who had fallen overheard, had
got at the spirits and was mad with
drink The captain Of the ship and a
police officer who had gone after her
were being swept out to sea. Mac
Gregor slid down rope caught the
knot of the woman's hair In his teeth
and with his hands seized the two men
and dragged them both into safety.
He went back to Suva in a borrowed
suit Of pajamas. having left all his
clothes and good deal Of his skin on
the coral reef
Modest, like many heroes, Mac
Gregor left himself out Of his own re-
port, and 1t was from the governor
that the queen first heard the whole
story.-London Graphic.

THE PAUSE AT DINNER.
Grim Story of an Enelishman's Ban
ouet In Euypt

Grim Story of an Enclishman's Ban
qu-t In Egypt.
How completely In any domestic
emergency the master can count on
his Berber servants Is illustrated by
this grim anecdote from Mrs. e. l..
Butchers book. Egypt as We Knew
It." An Englishman Of very high rank
in the Egyptian service wished to give
in his own house dinner party to the
prime minister and other Egyptian
and English notables. He was a bach
elor and did not often entertain, but
he spoke to his servants and told them
thar he particularly wished the dinner
to be successful.
The Egyptian, or, rather, Berber.
servant has quick sense for the hon.
or of "our house." as every good serv-
ant calls his masters abode. So the
servants bestirred themselves, and the
guests sat down to an excellent din
ner beautifully served.
Good fish succeeded good soup, and
then there was pause. The host
talked his best, but began to feel nerv-
GUS. However. after a delay hardly
long enough to attract the notice Of
the guests the even procession of dish
es began again, and the evening was
most successful.
After the guests had departed the
host said word Of praise to his head
servant and then remarked:
by the way, there was rather a
long wait after the fish. Why was
thatT'
MAY it please your excellency. the
cook died of cholera"
''Whatp'
But investigation put the fact be-
yond doubt. The cook. attacked al
the last moment, but anxious for the
honor of the house. had worked on
till he fell dead at his post, and his
body had been then hastily laid aside.
and the marmiton finished the cooking
learned this story after the Eng
lishman had left the country. ! never
heard that any of the guests suffered
or even knew what had happened.
