American Business nustIe.

Here is ar instance OF the thorough
ness with which England's CONNER
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east is order
ing q large quantity Of electrical ma,
terial, and the head Of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crossed
to America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer OF his visit and his mis-
sion, with the result that when he
landed ne received a sheaf Of letters
of invitation from manufacturers, and
Of Offers Of hospitality. AS a result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions

Nest on a Sleeps Back.

An extraordinary story of a star
ling's nest on a Sleeps back comes
from Bideiord, England, and Is told
by 1the Pail Mall Gazette. During
sheep shearing operations on Gourn-
wood farm one of the shearers cut into
q feshy substance, and examination
showed that he had cut in half q young
starting, which was in a nest that had
been built in the Sleeps wool, and
which contained two other fiedglings
still alive. The nest was composed OF
moss and twigs, For some weeks
previous to the shearing the sheep,
with the others, had the run Of three

When Drivers Are carefuI.

One thing that convicts careless al

the New York Times, is that none OF

every day OF the year, and IL they were

Awful Contingency Youth Had Not
Foreseen IN His Laying Out Of
the Future.

EIeven-year-old Tommy has quite
decided opinions as to the duties OF
fathers to their little boys. The other
day he was describing to his mother
the sort Of father he intends to be
when he grows up.
I'm going to be the best father to
my boys. Pm going to play marbles

thing they want me to and I'll give

Tommy's mother with a twinkle In
her eye said: But, Tommy, what II
You shouldn't have any little boys,

appalling. "A look OF blank dismay

CHAPTER TX.
LUCK AND DE LUssAc.

EYE a4
The report or the cannon stopped ia
Lussac as though q wall had suddenly
arisen before him. AT that sound
every agent In Paris would be on the
alert; horsemen were no doubt now
galloping to the Hotel de Sartines with
the news. He would have returned and
sought q hiding place in the wood
yards, but that course was now
blocked by Beauregard. The place
would be swarmed with people, and
there was nothing to be done but 60
on ana make q dash for the house
that Monsieur Blanc had Indicated to
him; though to reach that house he
would have to pass through many
streets.
He crossed the Isle 9 cygnes by
the Rue des Deux Points, found the
Place Moneils on the opposite bank
and just where the Rue des Armes en-
tered the place saw a Carriage stand
Ing. eidently n waiting for some one.
It was the very same carriage In
which he had been driven to the bastile
yesterday by Beauregard, bur fortu-
nately &c was not driven by the same
coachman. This man who sat on the
box, yawning and Ticking at the fiies
with his whip. q younger-looking
than the man of the preceding day
and altogether different. De Lussac,
almost amazed al his own audacity
and resource, walked straight toward
the carriage, taking, ais he went, the
order OF arrest from Monsieur Blanc
from his pocket.
The coachmen eyed him as he came.
then, seeing that he was coming to-
ward the carriage, he sat up from his
lounging attitude and assumed an AIR
Of attention.
De Lussac let the man see him read
Ing the official paper, which bore the
stamp OF the Hotel de Sartines, q
league of, and even before speaking to
the driver he opened the door Of the
coach.
Monsieur Beauregard is detained.
The man he is In search OF has down.
Meanwhile he Is waiting. You are 10
drive me to the Rue de La Harpe, set
me down there and return Immediate
ly for your master"
Yes, monsieur" said the c~oachn,an,
taking De Lussac for one OF those spies
of police who at that day were found
I all ranks OF society and the pay
OF 4 ministry.
And DO not spare you horses.
mo monsieur"
De Lussac got In, closed the door.
and the vehicle started. The Rue de la
Harpe was only two streets from the
street he wished to reach, and DE
Lussac, leaning back on, the cushions
of the police carriage, breathsd again
freely. The escape Of Latude from La
Bastile was nothing to this miracu-
lous escape conducted In the full light
of day and with thk unconscious aid
OF the police themselves. Not only
had he escaped, but he had wrested
from his enemies papers that were
vital to them. Not only had he cap
tured these papers, but he had placed
them In safe keeping OF the only man
who could profitably use them. Not
only had he done that, but he had dis
covered the intention OF the govern
ment to imprison Monsieur Blanc, and
had warned him. His sword had cut
every way and always IT had stricken
his enemies. Luck had helped him, no
doubt, but he had also helped LUCK.
Such luck does not last without d
break, however, and the mettle OF De
Lussac had still to be put to q test that
would have broken 500 men out OF
1000.
