Tboro are four, passengers besido myself, ond Dick, the drivor, to wit: a yo'iing lady of about twenty, who, I bolicvo, is a schoolmistress; a fiery, little rod hoaded Irishman; a tall Ifer eulos with an imtuonse black mnstacho ond long hair who had fought Indians, slain load agents, and been gouorally a clangorous man by common report." I understand he runs a saloon at Bilbnry 's Luck; and last, a short, stout innn drcssod very much liko a clergyman. Ho has a round, florid faro whoso good humored expression is heightened by a pleaxant pair of eyes overlooking gold rim mod spoctucles. A stone on one sido of tho road ond a rut ou tho other swayed tho stage so sharply that I am landod in tho old gout Ionian's hip. I fall full forco upon n small black leather grip which ho has been nursing evor sinco we loft tho I'ooket. "Hope I'vo douo no harm," I apolo gize "The road is somewhat nnevon on this route." "Not at all not at all I" he answers, with u sinilo. "You may havo to catch mo next time, living tumbled about is excellent for tho appetite. Going far ?" "Vermont." "Ah I A grand old State. Born there myself." Ho of the formidable mustache turns and looks down at the speaker as if just discovering his prcsonco, and then clo vating his noso looks away again. "I have been in nearly every consid erable country on tho globe," he con tinues, "but knew of no spot combining bo many happy influences." "I suppose you have had some strango experiences." , "You are right I have. I've beon captured and held for ransom by Italian banditti ; almost torn asunder by a Chinese mob ; an Indian thug made a pass at me with a olub tho size of a base ball bat, and I am still alive and in other people's way. Indeed I have become so accustomed to meeting . dan ger that it seems almost dnll to travel through a country where there is no chanoeof molestation." And he laughs good naturedly. The saloon proprietor favors him with another glance, and says in decided accents : "Stranger, I don't reckon you was ever held up by agents ?" "Agents I Do you allude to agents of creditors f I have met several of that kind." Eviilenllv thn vultirnAr Vor.1l Vnniri whut the othor means, but does not care to acknowledgo his ignorance. "Stranger, I means road agents." Seeing the old gentleman is aa mysti fied as ever, I explain that road agents are neither more nor less than high waymen. "They are getting scarce lu this sec tion. It has beon over a year since the sheriff and his posse exterminated Rod dy Hoogly's bund. Since then they Lave left this neighborhood very much alone." ' "Yaas, they did fur the gang, but Beddy give 'em tho slip, an' I happen to know that him an' a pard has begun to operate hereabouts again," the West erner iuterposod. This is disagreeable news to me, and my face very probably shows it. Ho proceeds to unfold still more, causing much eonoern among the stage occu pants. "It's a Leap likelier than not that they'll hold up this very identical wag on. That's why I'm here. There is a reward for Reddy Hoogly, dead or Jive, and if he shows up to-day" ' . Here he taps the handle of the heavy revolver at his side in a significant mannor. j It is obvious that the young woman is alarmed. The Irishman looks moody, and the little man with the iugu uai imurustea. . . - - The prospeot of being robbed is to me most unwelcome. All I possess in the world is secreted on my person ; the product of years of hard, cheerless, uncongenial labor among rough, un companionable men. But after all we may not be disturbed ; Western brag gadooio is no new thing to me, and I doubt not but that the saloon keeper would be as terrified in the event of on encounter as any one prosont. "Bedad, av the spalpeens wud foight wid sticks loiko white men, it's short work I'd be mukin' av them, the niur therin' blackguards I" declares the Irishman. This sensible remark 'does not afford much comfort Suddenly an idea strikes ma I request the loan of a re volver from tho sombrero owner. He looks mo over in a superior mannor and ays witU great decision : "Well, I guoss not I I rockon I can make use of these barkers. I allow you nevor saw mo in a fight, now ?" I am about to bargain with him for a weapon when the stage is brought to a stand with suoh abruptness as to almost pitch ine from the seat. Loud voices are heurd in front and the next moment two avmod horsemen rido alongside uud order us to alight The schoolmistress uttors an exoluma tion of alarm and tho Indian slayor a groan, while I am partly stunned at having my worst fears roalized. We tile out one at a time, with hands raisod, the muzzles of two riflos follow ing upon us. "Now, thon, no foolishness. Evory mothor's son who has a shooter lay it down on that flat stone," ono of the moc Our valiant proteotor obeys with alacrity, making great efforts to show may ininmui intentions. "ToSS that 'ere hot down born. Trlnlr. Ijok sharp." Dick complies.

Wo all staro speoohlnss with amaze- nicnt at sncu audacity. Few mon would care to do a trick like that with a friond at tlio othor end of tho weapon, to say nothing of ono who rospocU no law but his own will. "Well, pop, do you boo tho bullet ?" mo outlaw asks jocularly. "Oh, not it is rather too dark in thoro for that ; but I have no doubt it is thoro," ho onswors, smiling pleas autly. "Right you are, daddy, right you are ; and it weighs a good 'ounce too." "I see tho bore is ritlod," taking an othor squint ; "thi gives tho projoctila a rotary movement, which keops it from turning length wise, ond thus re duces the resistance attemliug its pas sago through tlio air to a minimum." "That 'ore may bo good picuchin,' but it won't stop me from shoolin'yonr head oiT if you don't bo careful." "I have made a study of gunnery and explosivos," ho continuod, with out hooding the interruption. "Now hero wo have a sphere," oponing the grip and taking out a bnll about the sisso of an apple wrapped in tissuo pa per. "This ball, being dynamite, thrown or cvon dropped on the ground would blow us all into atoms, stago, horses, men, everything, toaring a hole in tho earth, while its effect would be folt for quito a distance." During this speech, dolivered with the air of a professor addressing a class, the two rood agents grow more and moro uneasy, exchanging glances be tokening thoir dismay. Baddy's mouth stands open, and the. bad mau of our party begins to edge away. "From your occupation, gentlemen, I jndgo you ore not happy and con tentod, and your manner of guining a livelihood is such as to render others equally unhappy. In a case of this kind, what is to bo done ? Common senso klls me the best and indeed the only remedy is to put an end to the lives that are a burden to you and a misfortune to others, even if it should bo at a sacrifice. For my part I have always wished to die iu a good cause, which I am sure this is, and am confl uent that all present will agree to the arrangement Let us prepare for eternity." TLo e last words uttered with great solemnity, he bares his head and raises the dreaded bomb as if to dash it to the earth. Instead of preparing for eternity, however, the fellows utter yells of ter ror, and digging their heels into the horses' sides, urge them with all pos sible spocd away from tho neighbor hood of what they believe to be a lunutio possessed of dangerous ex plosives. One bound and I secure the revolv ers, determined not to snbuiit to being robbed without a struggle. But there is littlo cause for apprehending another attack. The robbers never drew rein until thoy reach the ridge of the hill beyond rifle shot and then ouf cham pion has only to draw backhis arm as if to cost the yellowish ball in that direc tion, to cause them to disappear on the other side. Replacing his bat and stowing the curious' weapon away in the black bag, he turns aud smiles amiably upon us. I wring hia hand and endeavor to express my gratitude. "Tut, tut, man, that was nothing. You would, no doubt have done the same had you been situated as I was; Lot ua rather think of getting on to ward our destination." r - . .-Arrah.'ttow. but you're the boy for me entirely I Bhure I don't know how ye did it at all, but it's meself believes ye have Irish blood in your veins." i , .

Then we re enter the coach aud soon are bowling merrily along. BrQuontly the saloon proprietor, who Las been quito crestfallen since the ex posure of his cowardice, begins to twist about uneasily, and finally asks iu some trepidation : "Say, stranger, is there any chanoe of that 'ere thing goin' off '(" "Oh, . not tho least, not the least I Rest assured it is entirely harmless." "But you said if it was droppod on the ground it would bust and blow vs all tosmithoroens." "I perceivo that you, too, are labor ing u ml or a dolusion induced by the peculiar grammatical construction of the sentence used. I did not say tho ball would explodo, but 'being dyn amito, and thrown,' it would, which I believe is correct. Bnt as it was not that high explosive such a result could not, of courso, bo expected to follow. To put your mind at ease I will place it out of harm's way." Haying this, he takes it out and calmly romovos tho tissuo papor, whou lo I a smooth yellow orango meets our astonished gaze.

By this means the bell will keep continually in the. minds of those within rcati of its sound, the memories of the men and women who have led in the work for liberty and peace, and the anniversaries of the great events resulting from their ef forts. The production and direction of tins bell s use has been placed in the hands of a committee of women, rep resenting eacii state and territory, one representative from each republic of me world and rcprescntions trom the patriotic societies Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution, the Lyceum League of America, the So ciety of German Patriots: the Humans Freedom League and kindred organ izations.

He was asked what wm wanted and the reply was "Nothing much." Mr. Knapp opened the door. A masked man confronted him and placed a revolver at his breast. Tbe far mer called for assist ance and grappled with the invader. During the strugKlo which followed Knapp was knocked senseless by a blow on his head. As he fell to the floor his son, who bad been aroused from sleep by the cry for help, reached the room, and after a desper ate struggle ejected the masked man and locked the door. A second masked man had been standing behind the first, but he fled at the beginning of tbe struggle.

Governor Altgeld has received hundreds of responses to bis pro posal for an anti-trunt convention here June 5. The governors of nearly all the western states have appointed delegates to be present. The object of this convention is to secure law to throttle all trust. E. O. Ilrown, the Minnesota delegate says: "I am in favor of removing causes that make trusts, and I wish the protec tive tariff destroyed, not promoted. An other thing f would like to see, and that is I would like the government to control the . railroads, and I believe that the applica tion of tbe single-tax theory would entirely destroy such monopoly of national oppor tunities as alone make trust possible.' But I am not in favor of any direct re strictive legislation against trust con tracts." Married Her Father' Coachman. Wackeoa.v, 111., May 80.
