TIIK SHAKE III' A HAND.
There's a feeling that tin Ills you with Joy or with
pain,
That Is felt In tho shake of a hand,
And records It aught but a thought you may gain
nen your faced to adversity stand.
How many wh as band, though seemingly kind,
i.iko an icicle chilli to the bonet
Not a bhadj of warm fecllag within can you Ilnd,
though appea-anco will greatly disown.
Then give mo tho hand ot a man with a heart
That scorns to bo seen In disguise:
When you shiko It you feel It Is honesty's part
Ann ifio rest can bo read In his e) cs.
There's others from whom not aslgh will awake,
indinercnt and chill they remain,
As If alt emotion was bound to a stake.
w Uh its limit th.) length of a chain,
And should you, through courtesy, bo thrown In
their way, .
Where civility mikes a domand,
You Jus! feel tho tips of their flnuors when they.
AS If stung, draw quickly the hand.
Whllo others you meet more Inviting will stand,
And extend you their palm with a smile.
And greet jou quite hearty, at least with the hand
Though their eyes are away all the while.
While some with a p'easure tint's stamped on their
race
Win greet you with truth In their eyes,
From tho grasp ot their hand It Is easy to traco
'1 hat there Is not a shade ot disguise.
Select Story.
WHY I JUINKI) TIIK DKrKUriVES.
'Uau I sit with your
'Certainly, sir.'
'Nice weather?'
'Splendid, indeed.'
'Crops growing finely?'?'
'Yes couldn't do better.'
I was sitting in a car on a Wisconsin rail
road one day, years ago, when a good-look
iug,pleasant spoken man came along, stopped
at my seat, and tho following conversation
took place, the latter part of if after I had
g veil him my seat.
Now, 1 am regarded as a social nun. I
ike a joke; more so then than now. On
entring a railroad car I always looked about
for a talkative mm, and then I got as close
to him as possible and drained him dry, if
the journey was long enough.
And t want to stale one thing more. Left
an orphan before I could realize the sad
ovent which had made me one, I got kicked
n,ere and cuffed there, and grew up between
folks asthey say. 1 ought to have had, at
the time of which I write, a pretty thorough
knowledge, of human nature, and have been
able to read evil in a man's face if be intend
ed me evil. I did not pride myself on being
over sharp, but the knocking around among
strangers ought to have given any one a good
experience.
Well, the stranger and I fell into an easy
rain of conversation as we rode together,
and in ten minutes I began to enjoy his
company. He was a well made fellow, fine
ly dressed, aud wore a fine watch and a Si
mon-pure diamond ring. I never saw a man
who could talk so easy and 33 pleasantly. It
seemed that he had but to open his mouth
ami the words fell rightout.
I had traveled in thoSoutb; so bad ho.
had heard the roar of the Pacific; he knew
all about it. 1 had been up iu a balloon,
down in a mine, been blown up, smashed
up, and repaired again and ogain; my new
friend had experiei ced all theso things, ani
was wishing for something of a more start
lln nature. Wo agreed on politics, neither
had any religion, and I never met such n
railroad companion.
Did you over meet a man who, though a
stranger to you ten minutes before, could
wrest from you your secrets which you had
sworn to vourself not to reveal? Well, he
was such a man. It was not long before he
commenced asking me questions. He did
not seem to try to quiz or draw me out, but
he asked me questions in such a sly, round
about way that before I knew it I was giving
him my history.
I was at that time just on the point of be
ing admitted to the bar of Wisconsin as a
student of Law & Law of llriefville. The
firm were old lawyers, with a lucrative prac
tice, and it had been talked over that iu
about a moutli I should be the 'Co.' of tho
firm. A year before a farmer named Pre
top, down about a mile from Oraftou, died
and his matters had been put into the hands
of Law & Liw for settlement. Preston had
died rich, He had money in bank, railioad
stock and mortgages, etc., and everything
was settlod up to tho satisfaction of the re--
lict aud fatherless.
About a year bofore his death, being
pinched for money, and not wishing to sell
anything at a sacrifice, Preston had given a
mortgage on his farm for f 3,000. While Ihe
papers read 'for one year from date' there
was a verbal ngreemeut that it should be
lifted any day that Preston desited. A month
after, when, having the funds to clear off the
the paper, the 'old money bags' holding it
refused to discharge, wishing to secure hi
interest for a year.
I was ou my way to learn the date ot ex
plratlou. A flro among my rllico papers had
destroyed the date of memoranda, and I must
go down aod get the date from oldurip,who
lived south of Grafton about five miles,
The stranger pumped all this out of me in
about ten minutes, and yet I never once
suspected he was receiving any informa
tiuii.
'I am not positive, I addeJ, 'but I am pret
ty sure that the time is the 13th. which
woi'ld be Tuesday next.
'And then your folks will send down the
money aud discharge the mortgage,
course,' he queried.
of
'Oh, yes, I shall most likely bring it
down,' I replied, and it never occurred to
me how imprudent I was,
He turned the conversation into other
channel', and did not mice attempt to puiri
me further. We got to Grafton at 10:50,and
to my great rurprise he announced that h
was to stop in town on business for a few
days, I had not asked his name or avoca
tion, while he knew everything about me,
We went to the hotel and had dinner, and
then I secured a lively team and drove out
and getting through with butitess so that
was back to take tho 3:20 express Eft, My
frien t was on the porch of the hotel as
drove up, carrying Ihe same honest and dig
nified face,
'Well, did you find out?' he inquired, i
his pleasant way,
'Yes, it was ou the I3th, as I expected,1
replied.
We had lunch together, and when '
shook hands aud parted I had no more Idea
nf ever meeting him ngaiu than I had
knowing you. In fact he told me that he
should sail for England within a week or
ten days, and should not return to America,
At parting he gave me his card. 'It was a
modest piece of pasteboard, and bore the
name of 'George Raleigh In old English
script.
Everything at the office went on as usual,
d too lJtli came at length, Liw A Ltw
ad arranged with mo to go down with the
oney, and I looked upon It as a business
nn special Importance,
'Wc'know you are all right,' remarked
o senior partner, as I was about to go; 'but
want to glvo yju a word of warning, nev
ertheless, Don't tako any strangers Into
our confidence until you have passed out
the money, and look out who sits next to
you.'
It was something new for him to caution
me, and I could but wonder at It; but in the
bustle of getting aboard tho train I forgot
hat ho said. Ordinary prudence had In
duced me to place the mouey, which was all
ti batik bills nnd divided it into three pack
age", under my shirt and next to my skin,
here tho deft hand of a pickpocket could
not reach it.
Interested in a newspaper, time flew by
as the train flew past, and at last the hoarse
voico of the brakeman warned me that I had
reached Grafton. I had leaped down and
was making for the livery stable when I
heard a fandllar voice and looked up to tee
Raleigh. Ho was seated in n buggy, and
had seemingly waited for mo to come in.
'Dont express your surprise,' he began, as
stopped at the wheel. I did intend to go
away; I changed ray miud, and like this
section so well that I am 'going out to-day
to look at a farm with a view to purchasing
come, ride up to-the hotel.'
We rode up, ordered lunch, and while we
were discussing it, Sir. Raleigh discovered
that the farm he was going to see was just
beyond that of dd Grip's.
How fortunate I I could ride out with
im, see the farm, return in his company,
and he was greatly pleased.
I was also pleased. If any one had told
me as I we got into the buggy that George
Raleigh meant to return with my money in
bis pocket nnd my blood upon his hand-, I
hould have believed him a lunatic aud
yet George Raleigh planned to do that very
thing.
It was a lovely day in June, aud the cool,
reeze and tho sight of meadows and green
groves made my heart grow larger. My
companion was talkative, but he didn't hint
at my errand,
'Oh, excuse tnel' he exclaimed, after wo
had passed a mile beyond tho village, and
were among the farm houses. 'I should
ave offered you this before.'
He drew from his pocket a small flask of
wine and handed it to me. Now, I was tem
perate in regard to drinks. In fact I detest
ed tho sight and smell nf anything intoxica
ting. Hut I had not the moral courage lo
tell him so and hand back the flask un
disturbed. I feared to offend him, and o I
rank perhaps three good swallows. He
.called my atttentlon to the woods on the lelt
as be received back the flask, and when I
looked around agaiu he was just removing
from his mouth, as if he bad drank
earty.
In about five minutes I began to fee!
queer. The fence along the road seemed to
grow higher and the trees grow larger; some
thing came to my ears that the rattle of tho
uggy sounded a long way off. 'How
strange! Why I believe I am going to bo
sickl' I exclaimed, holding ou to the seat
all my might.
'You do look strange,' he replied, with a
snaky smile stealing over his face; 'I
shouldu't wonder If it was apoplexy.'
I did not snuspect the game he had
played. His words were like an echo, and
his face looked twice as large as it was. My
head began to spin and ray brain began to
Lsnap and crack, and I was greatly fright
ened.
'You arc badly off," hecontinued looking
nto my face. "I will drive as fast as pos
sible and get a doctor."
My tongue was so heavy that I could not
reply. I clutched the seat, shut my eyes,
and he put his horse at his best pace. We
met a farmer's team, and I can remember
that one of the occupants of the wagon
called out to know what ailed that man
Raleigh did not reply, but urged his horse
jrward.
About three miles from Grafton was a
long stretch of forest, and this was soon
reached. The pain in my head was not so
violent, aud I was not so badly affected
when opening my eyes. I had settled Into
a sort of dumb stupor, with a bralu so be
numbed that I had to say to myself : 'Ibis
s a tree, that is a stump,' etc., before I
could make sure I was not wroug. Haifa
mile down tho road after we struck the
forest, and then Raleigh turned his horse
ntn a blind road leading back into the
woods, 1 could not understand what he in
tended. I tried to grapple with the question,
but could not solve it.
'Well, here we are I' exclaimed Raleigh,
when we had reached a point forty rods
from the main road,
He stopped tlio horse, got out and hitched
him, and then came round to the wheel
'lou don t feel just right, but I guess
you will be better soon,' ho remarked. 'Come
let me help you down.'
He reached up his arms, and I let go the
seat nnd fell into them. It seemed to uie
as If I weighed a ton, but he carried me
along with an effurt, and laid me down
within about a rod of a fence which ran
along'on one side of an old pasture. Just
then I began to get a little better. The
effects of the drug were wearing off, and I
got a fair suspicion that something unutua
had happened. Hut I was powerless to move
a limb; the bensatlon was like that when
your foot goes to sleep.
Can you speak ?' inquired Raleigli,bend
ing over me ; 'because if you can not It
will save me some trouble. I want to know
just where you have stoted away tha
money,'
Now I began to realize my situation. His
face looked natural again and the load was
off my tongue. 1 also felt that I could move
my fingers a little.
'George Raleigh 1 are you going to rob
nieV I asked finding my voice at last,'
'Well, some folks might call it robbing,1
but we dress up the term a little by calling
it the only correct financial way of equal
Izlng the floating currency, so thai each one
is provided for and uoono left out.
ou shan't have the money, I wllldlo
first!' 1 yelled rising a little.
'Ah, I see didn't take quite enough,' he
coolly remarked, Well, I have provided
for this.'
He went to the buggy, procured .ropes
and n gag, and kneeled down beside me. I
had a little strengtli yet, and he conquered
me In a moment. Lying on my right tide,
looking toward the fence, he tied my hands
behind me, and then forced tho gag Into my
mouth,
'There, now I You see you are dccly
fixed up, and all because you acted like a
fool,lnsteadof a sensible young lawyer, soon
to be admitted to the bar,'
While he was speaking, Indeed while lie
was tying me, I had caught sight of the
white faco of a little girl looking at us from
between the rails of the fence. I could see
her great blue eyes, and knew that she was
frightened. Thero wore red stains around
her mouth and on tho little hand resting on
the rail, and I knew that she was some
farmer's child searcblig for strawberries. I
couldn't warn her of her danger.and I feared
that she would be seen or heard. While
Raleigh was tying tho last knot, I winked
at the little girl as hard as 1 could, hoping
that she would m jve away. Hut she did not
go.
'Well, nov for the money,' said Raleigh
and he began searching my pockets. He
went from one to another, removing all the
the articles; felt down my boot leg.and then
finally passed his hand over my bosom, and
found the money,
'Hailiere It is 1' he exclaimed drawing
out the package. 'I don'thardly belelvethat
old Grip will see any of this to-day.'
lie sat down near my head undid the
package, and was cool enough to get at It to
count the money. As he commenced the
little girl waved ber band at me. My heart
went thumping for I expected that she
would utter a word or shout'; but she sank
down from sight, and I caught a gleam of
her frock as she passed through the grass.
'You see, my young friend,' remarked
Raleigh, as he drew off one of his boots and
deposited some of the bills in It, 'there's
nothing like transacting business as it (should
be transacted. Some, men would have shot
or stabbed you, but it's only the apprentices
who do such work. All the real gentlemen
f our calling do as gentlemen should.
He drew oft the other boot, aud placad
some "fifties" and "twenties" in It.ond then
continued :
I have it all planned out how to deal with
you ns soon as I get this money disposed of
around my person. I shall lay you on your
back and pour the balance of the wine down
your throat. There's enough of it to make
you sleep un'il to-morron night and by tbHt
time I shall be hundreds of mites away.
As soon as I see the drug take effect I shall
untie your hands and remove the gag,
When you come out of your sleep It yo,
ever do you had better crawl out to the
road, where you will most likely meet some
raveler soon, I want to use the horse and
buggy, otherwise I would leave ihem for
ou.'
How cnoly he 'talked. He treated the
matter as if it were a regular transaction
n which I fully arquie'eed. He had me 'a
fast prisoner, and I felt lhat he could 'do.
just as he pleased. While I was thinking I
faw the little white face appear between the
rails, but in a moment it faded away and
its place was taken by the sunburned phiz of
a farmer. He looked from me to Raleigh
and back again, and I winked at him in a
way which he readily understood. His face
disappeared and I felt that I should be saved
'No, old Grip wont get his tin to-day,'
mused Raleigh storing the bills away in his
pockets. 'You will go back to Law Law
feling putoutandcut up, but they couldn't
blame you, it is not your fault at all. True
had you minded your business on the car
and not have beenso free with a stranger,
this would not have happened. I was on
my way to Milwaukee and had no thought
of such rich pickings here.'
I saw nothing of the farmer. Raleigh
finished his counting, and I made up ray
mind that the farmer was afraid to Interfere,
and ran away. My heart went down as
Raleigh got up, for I saw that he was about
to carry out his plan of further drugging
me. Ho turned me ou my back, sat dowu
astride of me, and then pulled out the
flask.
'Now in just about a minute we'll be
through with the business," he remarked
rying to put the mouth of the flask between
ray jaws.
I rolled my head to one side, aud he did
not succeed. He was jamming the flask
against my teeth when I caught ihe sound
ofa soft step.the crash of a club.and Raleigh
rolled off my body. He tried to leap up
but thrfcor four farmeu struck him down,
and one of the blows knocked him senseless.
Pcforo he came to I was free of ropes and
gag, and we had him securely bound.
Ovor beyond the pasture a farmer and his
hands were raking hay. 'Littlo Illue Eyes,'
only 8 yearH old, had, fortunately lor
me, witnessed a part of Raleigh's
proceedings; She had hurried back
to her father and told him that "a mau
was all tied up there.' Understanding the
situation he and his men had moved around
so as to secure an advantage, and Raleigh's
capture was the result,
When the rascal found his senses he was
terribly taken back, nnd cursed enough for
a whole flanders army. We took him back
to Graftonand when I saw him again he was
on his way to the Penitentiary to serve a sen
tence of fifteen years.
The mortgage was duly lifted and the gift
which Iv.w &. Law sent to Katy Grey kept

I or myself, I felt so humiliated at having

at the treatment.tbat I determined to devote

Tlio boat race between Haiilan an Court
ney at Washington last week resulted in tho
defeat of the latter.
The race was won easily by Hanlan in 30
minutes and 40 3-10 seconds. Although
Courtney led slightly at tho start Hanlan
had passed him at the quarter and three
quarters was leading by ten lengths. Here
Courtney turned around and evidently rea
lized that he was beaten. He stopped sever
al times to batho his head and in respond
to bis friends in tho refeices boat to pull
away, he raid : ''It is not iu me." Hanlan
also cased up hero and pulling steadily at
3G strokes opened the gap ns he pleased aud
all interest in tho race ceased. Courtney stop
ped at 2 J miles, and turning leisurely rowed
back over the court o aud disembarked at his
quattcrs at Ihe Potomac boat house. Ou the
way homo Hanlan gradually ovcihauled
Courtney and the thousands on shore and
upon tho boats and steamers which lined the
course oot knowing that Courtney bad not
turned his stake boat, itnmaglocd the race
was still a debatable issue rent tho air for
for their rospectivo favorites. Hanlan,how
ever, soon passed Courtney and pulled lei
urely to tho last eighth of the course.whcn in
reepone to the blowing of wliislles aod
cheers from thousands of spectators he
quickened to a forty stroke and exhibited a
splendid burst of speed to the finish, Pull
ing up to the referee's boat Hanlan was
awarded the race by the .eferee. R!ley,who
was at the start prepared to enter the race
if either Courtney or Hanlati failed to ap
pear, started down the course a few eeconds
before the word was given and rowed near
ly the entire course iu front of Hanlan, in
creasing his lead lo about an eighth of a
mile, turning Hanlan's stake and rowing
back to tho Potomac boat house, where he
disembarked with Courtney. Many people
along the course who had not seen the
start, supposed that Riley was in the race
and was winning a great point over the lil
tle Canadian, On returnlrg to his hotel
this i veiling Hanlan was serenaded, and in
response to calls f, r a speech he expnsed
bis gratitude for the many kindnesses he
bad received at the hands of the Washing
ton people during his stay. Ha said that
be came here to row a race and be very much
regretted that an opportunity - had not
been given bim to do so. In conclusion he
referred to Riley't having gone on the course
and rowed over apart of it in front of the
contestants, denouncing Iniu as no gentle
man. He said that if Riley wanted to r.-w
with him to-morrow nr a year hence fur $10
or for $10,000, be should be ready to meet
him.

iards, who regard the defeat nf Garcia as a
foregone conclusion, and deem his conduct
dyed with treachery and ingratitude in view
f the leniency of the Spanish government
towards him wheu he was a prisoner on Spau-
h soil. They say that this attempt will be
iguoble fiascy, and that it is of contempt-

Secondly,there are theopiuionsof the Cuban
