 Nothing opposed them the deck was ignorant of other footsteps than their own. the schooner as silent as only becamed ship can be.
 Without further consultation, Alan led quickly aft and down the companionway to the cabin. where a dim light burned-a smoky lamp swing ing in gimbals above cluttered table.
 Of the two stateroom doors, one disclosed an empty cabin the other was locked.
 Trying the handle roughly, Alan fancied he heard sound within. Pausng, he called, with a thrill of fearful hope:
 Hello in there!"
 The response a cry of incredulous delight: Alan"
 By way of Alan hurled himself bodily against the door, At the second impact of shoul-
  solid flesh and determination the lock splintered away from it's socket, the door flew open with a bang-and Alan into the room with a cry: "Rose!"
 His sweetheart met him halfway, her arms up- lifted her countenance transfgured.

 The guard puffed fast and had the tobacco well aglow when the sky took advantage of his trust fitness and fell upon him like an avalanche
 Simultaneously, Alan and Barcus descended tha face of the bluff in two miniature landsdes, dug themselves out and by the time the dazed and dis armed guard had sufficiently recovered to cry out for help. the dory was hundred yards off the beach and making excellent time in the direction of that lonely green light.

ASPHYxIATlNG BULLETS.

Monsieur King, director OF the
Paris municipal laboratory, has in
vented a pistol that fires a cartridge,
or small bomb, charged with certain
chemicals. When the cartridge
strikes an object the chemicals imme-
diately vaporize into sutfocating
fumes that confuse and overcome
temporarily any person near by. The
pistol is used by policemen and de-
tectives in the capture of desperate
criminals. The physician-in-chief at
one of the largest hospitals in Paris
believes that the new pistol will be
of great value in subduing lunatics.

sons; and, indeed, the pistol has al
ready been tried in the case OF such
persons with good results. The
fumes that it discharges are entirely
harmless, but extremely painful, for
thev blind the victim, nearly suffo-
cate him and make him think that
he is about to strangle.-Youth's

PORK FOR THE DUKE.

Among the stories told by Lieuten-
ant Colonel Newnham-Davis in his
new book, "The Gourmet's Guide"
is one concerning the late duke Of
Cambridge. 1t is said that he, like
his father before him, had liking
for pork, and at one time word went
round the British army that at in
spection lunches it was wise to give
his royal highness pork chops.
OF course. the British army over
did it, and the old duke had so many
porbs chops put before him in the
course of year that at last their
presence on the menu was far more
likely to assist in the securing of an
unfavorable report on a regiment
than was their absence.

HAD LEARNED LESSON.

One hundred years ago the first
French parliament, after the restora-
tion of the Bourbons, was opened by
King Louis XVIII. At the same
time the constitutional charter was
promulgated. Considering the con-
ditions and sentiments Of the times,
the new charter was of an extremely
liberal character. The king, while
maintaining the principle of his SOW
ereignty and free will, accepted all
the guarantees Of liberty claimed by
the representatives of the people.
The charter provided for continu-
ance of the representative govern
ment, consisting of two bodies, the
senate and chamber of deputies. The
freedom Of the press and the liberty
of religious worship were guaranteed
and, in conclusion, .he charter de-
clared that no person need be anxious
on account of his opinions or his
votes.

OLD CONTROVERSY REVIVED.

The old question of whether the
Norsemen beat Christopher Column
bus to the shores of the new world
has been reopened in the London
press by the display in the windows
of the London agency of the Cana
dian Pacific railway Of stone dis
covered at Yarmouth, \. s., 100
years ago, on which is Morse in
scription. Henry Phillips, Jr., Of
Philadelphia is said to have deci-
phered the inscription as reading,
"Harki's son addressed the men, "
and in ancient writings he discov-
cred the name of Harki as the leader
of an expedition Of Norsemen that
left Greenland in the year 1907. The
stone will be exhibited at the cente-
nary exposition in Christiania, Nor

GAVE HIM FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Captains Statement, to Put IL Mildly,
Was Calculated TO Mako keSes
Gus Man PensiVe.

He was an inquisitive old gentle
man, and he wandered about the
deck with freedom that threatened
to bring down on him the wrath OF
the observant skipper.
He carried on a one-sided conver-
sation with the 'man at the wheel," "
and the features of the skipper were
not good to look upon.
Then, in the blissful innocence of
his heart, he actually approached
the captain himself. 1t was inev-
liable that there should be some
thing said, but it was the little old
gentleman who proceeded to take the
first innings.
He told how his great-grandmoth-
er's second cousin had been sailor
man, and prattled of storms that
carried all before them.
"In the last emergency, l have
heard" he continued, at was Gus
tomary to throw overheard the whole
of the cargo to Tighten the ship. Did
you ever do that, captain?"
"Well, yes" admitted the skipper,
with surprising cheerfulness. "But
only as last resource. l never
waste my cargo until I've used up
my passengers. They 60 first"
Then the little old gentleman had
thoughtful fit that kept his tongue
quiet for two hours.-Pearson's

AND PRESUMABLY If ROLLED
At Any Rate, the Ocean Had Asitated
sehoolboy's Full Permission
to Do So.

A few years ago in a small log
schoolhouse in one of our southern
states an entertainment was being
given at the close of the three
months school term. Many of the
patrons of the school were present to
see how their children would acqult
themselves. All the children had
given a recitation save one large,
overgrown boy, who had been placed
at the end Of the program for rea-
sons obvious to the teacher. He had
spent the. greater part of two weeks
preparing his recitation. When his
turn came he marched boldly to the
front and in a manner which would
have been a credit to present-day
political speaker began:
"Roll on, thou dark and deep blue
ocean, roll" here he came to sud-
den pause unable to proceed further.
After a moments hesitation, during
which his face took on several differ
ent colors, he got this out:
"Roll on, blame you, roll on"
Then he sat down amidst the sur
prised glances of his friends and
classmates.-National Monthly.

SHOCK FOR WEARY WILLIE
Man to Whom He Offered Advice Was
Distinctly Not Member OF
the Hobo Craft.

The superintendent of a Michi-
gan railway was in Pennsylvania,
and one day he was looking with in
terest at some rails that had been
laid by machine on the Pennsylvania
track. He had been travelling. was
dusty and unshaven, and his hands
were deep in his pockets, as if trying
to hunt nickel.
Suddenly he was startled to find
a tramp by his side, who said, ge-
nially: 81 wouldn't try this line,
pard. They're very stiff on de
Pennsy. Ever try 'em? Last time
l did l was chucked off on my head.
Let's hoof it over here a bit, where
we can ketch de Erie. They's dead
easy"
The superintendent smiled and
said: 'T appreciate your kindly offers
of advice and assistance, my friend,
but happen to be railroad super
intendent, and don't have to walk.
Whenever you're up my way I'll give
YOU a trip over our road. Here's my
card and something to get meal"
The hobo stuck the card inside the
band of his hat, and shufled away,
evidently too amazed to speak.
