All amusing sidelight on the manner
in which fraudulent venders of the

>Maitland's History OF London" Dur

of Frauds and Impositions In the sale
of Provisions, especially against
Bakers. who had got into way Of
making bread under the standard

his light bread confiscated, a second
offense was punished by imprisonment,

cd fy-catcher to select dried snake
skin to line his nest. There are va
rIous explanations of why he does 1t.
Some naturalists believe it is an ef
fort on the part Of the bird to render
the nest waterproof. Others think the
dried skin serves as burglar alarm,
to rattle at the approach Of squirrel
or another enemy and warn the bird
to defend his home.
He builds his nest in hollow trees,
stumps or posts. says the Philadel-

"1ll be on the lookout. friend"
pledged Roger. but lightly. "Helio!
who Is that MANI"
Roger stared and then started after
man across the street; but the latter
had disappeared with Rogers compan-
ion having just brief glance at him.
Newcomer, don't know his name.
Looking for work, understand"
1T was Dacre." reflected Roger. as
he went slowly and thoughtfully to-
wards his hotel. Poor fellow bent
on burying himself because of his great
disappointment. l wish l had chance
to be friendly with him."
That opportunity did not material
lie. however, and Rogers kindly i'm.
pulse was obscured In the hustle Of
preparations for his leaving the place
that evening. The night promised to
be clear. though slightly chilly, with
full moon, and Roger. in high spirits,
anticipated glorious gnllop over the
old mountain trail. with every foot of
which he was familiar.
A dozen humble but loyal friends
waved him n CHEEKY good-by rs, his
satchel strapped behind his saddle. his
light overcoat collar drawn well up to
his eyes, he touched the spur to the
splendid animal he rode.
Roger had proceeded less than five
miles when. on turning shoulder of
rock, he was confronted by two men.
Both wore masks. So quickly dkl they
halt him, so speedily did they pull him
from his horse that he was unable to
resist. To his amaZement his long en-
veloping overcoat was dragged from
his back. The coat of one Of his as
sailants was substituted. Rogers arms
were secured behind him. he was re-
mounted on one of the horses Of his
captors. It's owner, donning the over
coat and springing into the saddle of
Rogers horse. put the spurs to the
animal, shouting to his comrade:
Get him away by the new cut across
the plateau and make no delay"
The victim of profuse mystlfication.
Roger was released Mt the outskirts of
Oreville, four hours later. Not word
had his conductor spoken during the
swift dash, but two days later Roger
knew the truth.
Justin Dacre had given his life to
save him. He knew of the trap set by
Big Barlow. He impersonated Roger
in decoy dash past the ambush of
the desperadoes. He led them a ten
mile chase, at last receiving fusil-
lade that ended his life.
They brought the hero to Oreville
and buried him With honors, and tears,
and love. And into the souls of Lois
and Roger there came q solemn influ-
ence. sacred memory that kept alive
undying reverence for the noble wan
derer who had made their happiness
possible.

"Good-by., and may heaven bless
you!"
He had entered the front parlor and
the words halted him. 1t was then
seeking their source. that his brow
corrugated. his breath came quick. In
the rear room stood Justin Dacre, and
near him Lois. Her face was SYM
pathetic. but sorrowful. She put out
. detaining hand. She drew her de-
parting visitor nearer to her. She re-
moved a rose from her bosom; she
rendered 1t to her companion. She
spoke some words to him. Then she
lifted her face to his own and kissed
him tenderly. with tears in her eyes,
and Justin Dacre dashed away and a
sob was wrung from his lips as he
hurried from the home.
Lois had sunk to chair. Her face
was buried in her handkerchief. Bel

sentiment. came to her side throbbing
with emotion.
'Lois !" he spoke, and she looked up
startled and shrank slightly at the
hardness of his tone.

8ellamy hoarsely.
Il asked him to and told him that

she burst into tears afresh. "Oh,

"And told you so!" muttered Roger
darkly.

Roger was mollifed. but he did not
entirely share the esteem of Lois for
his unfortunate rival. He rather pitied

learned that he had abandoned q law
