of strange troubles going on in 1'aris and

woke to find everything iu confusion.
Our mayor hid been ordered to resign,

I could not follow. What happened
there was toM me later.
"Wild with agony nt her husband's
fate, my gentle, loving aunt had burst
into a flood of reproach of his murder.
In these days this was crime enough for
tho heaviest punishment, and before
evening she had fared the samo fate as
my uncle.
"The Ileum of Terror had Indeed begun
with us. The girls had fled, terrified at
the fate which had befallen their pro
tectors, and I was meditating in a half
ttupefied way the same measure, when a
knock enmo at tho door, and two men,
who had often eaten nnd drunk nt my
uncle's table, came in nnd mndo mo a
prisoner, confiscating all the possessions
of the family to the state.
In those days a man a foes were often
tboy of his own household. I offered no
resistance; the shock of the day had
completely uumannod mo. I made cer
tain that I, too, should die that night.
But my time was not yet come.
In consequence of the lateness of tho
hour I was taken to tho town prison, a
dismal building, which I had never
known to be occupied. Thero I was
thrust into n deep dungeon, and left in
total darkness till the morning, when I
doubted not I should bo conducted to
the same cruel fate as my poor relatives
had met. Hut morning came, as I had
guessed by Hie round without, and still
no summons. Worn out with suspense
and waiting. I fell asleep. When I
awoke hunger and thirst oppressed tne.
Happily I had stored some bread and
meat and a small bottle of wine in ono
of the pockeU of my coat preparatory to
my intended flight. Of this I now ate
and drunk. No one came nigh me, and
yet I conld hear sounds as if wretched
prisoners were being led forth ont of
neighboring cells, doubtless to death;
for they wept nnd pleaded vainly as it
seemed to me.
But the third day a great stillness fell
on the prisou. I could not understand
it; my senses were enfeebled for want
of food, for my small stock had long
been exhausted and I almost lacked
strength to wonder why I was left to
live so long. Presently arose an awful
terror, lest this should be my sentence,
to perish miser ibly for want of food iu
this damp duni on. Death on the scaf.
fold appeared light by comparison. 1
clamored nt my prison door. I shouted
as loudly as I could all to no purpose.
Then I burst into an agony of tears; my
fate was too dreadful to hear. With tho
soft nature, of my youth I pitied nnd be
moaned lnywlf sorely. All at once
words canio into my mind that I had
learned years ago as a test in tho school,
Fear thou not, for I am with thee; bo
not dismayed, for I am thy God.'
"They came like a ray of light into
my prison, nnd I clung to the promise
as if it had that moment been made to
mo by a pitying God. I felt soothed
and hopeful, and in this condition I
sank back in ad... or swoon.
"How timo passed I could not tell;
day and night to mo were alike in my
cell. I woke up to find light nnd warmth
and kindly faces about me. Slowly 1
regained consciousness enough to under
stand what they told me. I had lain
five days forgotten, tho stillness I had
noted the third day was accounted for
by tho fact that tho news had just
reached our town of the death of one of
the greatest leaders of tho revolution,
and the consequent decline of tho party.
In fc-afof his life, our terrorist mayor
had fled, and the old mayor, resuming
power, had ordered the prison doors to
he set open. I, in my solitary cell, had
been forgotten, and but that some one
had been sent to examine all the cells
and collect tho fetters used therein, I
might havo reiithed mo6t miserably.
As it was, I was carried out perfectly
senseless and brought to life with somo
difficulty.
"I am sate now, as you see, comrades,
in my own countrj-, but the anguish of
those few days will never be forgotten.
I bear about with me in my face the ro-
membrauco of it. Daily I thank God
for light and air and food, and yet these

KNOCKfNQ OUT A JEHU.
Resentment of the Intuits of ellle Stage
Driver by Utile Dude.
Colonel William Greene Sterrett, of
the Galveston-Dallas News, tells this
story:
"Once, a good many years ago, he
said, "I was traveling l a stage in
western Texas. It was long before the
snort of the locomotive was heard on
tho prairies of that region, over which
tho buffalo yet roamed. At one of the
stations a young Englishman and his
wife got in. He was a little fellow and
dressed as a typical Englishman what
we now call a dudo. The driver was a
big, raw boned six footer. He was a
noted fighter. He had nover been whip
ped and was a regular terror. He
seemed to take a dislike to the little
Englishman from the start. Presently
he stopped tho stage, got down, came
back and throw open the door.
1 'Here, he said to the Englishman,
'you come ont of that and get np on the
seat with me. Thero ain't room for you
in there.' The Englishman didn't move.
Come out, I tell you,' roared the driver.
The Englishman just sat still. 'It you
don't come ont, 111 haul yon out by the
legs,' shouted the Jehu. Then the rest
of us expostulated with tho driver. I
was too tired to fight and conldn t get at
my gun, so I just expostulated along
with the rest. fe told the driver there
was plenty of room inside; that the Eng
lishman was not crowding ns, and that
If he (tho driver) insulted or injured any
of his passengers he would be discharged
by the stage company. The driver by
this time was wild, Ho swore he was
in command of that stage nnd that he
proposed to rnn it to suit himself, and II
that blankety blank enss didn't come
ont ho d pull him out.
1 'All right, said the Englishman, at
last. 'I will come ont, and when I am
out I will whip you soundly.'
"He got out slowly. We all felt sorry
for him and sorrier for his wife. She
didn't seem scared or worried, though,
nnd all she said was:
' 'Charley, don't let him scratch your
face.
'Well, when the little Englishman
got ont he took his coat off and handed
it back into the stage. Then he started
toward the driver and the driver started
toward him. We heard n sound a good
deal like that made by hitting a steer in
the head with nn ax. Down in a heap
went the driver. He was up as quick as
a flash. Down he went ngain. Actually
that little English dnde knocked that
burly six foot driver clean off his feet a
dozen times. How it was done none ol
ns could tell. The big fellow would
rush at the little 'nn with his arms go
ing like flails. Suddenly the little fellow
would make a dash, his right arm would
fly out, and down would go the driver,
After the dozenth round that driver
called out:
"'Hold on, stranger hold on! I'm
whipped and throw np my hands. You
kin ride anywhere on this stage you darn
please, outside or insido or on tho hosses.
You re the boss now; but,' he added,
glaring savagely at the rest of us, 'I kin
lick anybody elso on this stage.
"We didn't expostulate. The English
man climbed hack into the stage as
quickly as he got oil. His wife was sat
isfied, for 'Charley's' face wasn't even
scratched. At the next station the driver
explained that if he'd only have got hold
of the little fellow he'd have hugged him
to death like a liear; "but," he exclaimed,
'every time just as I was about to lay
hands on him the ground 'd fly np and
hit me on the hack of the head.

Uses for a llottle ot Gold rains.
A twenty-live cent bottle of gold paint
is a capital investment for any woman.
She will find a dozen occasions for its
use every week of her life. Perhaps she
chips some bit of Japanese or other
fancy porcelain in dusting; a brtuhfu)
of gold paint over the chip will mako
everything right A gilt picture or mir
ror frame may be braised or tarnished,
call iu the little bottle again and remedy
in five minutes and for a fraction of a
cent a damage the cabinet maker would
charge a dollar to repair and keep your
frame a couple of days besides.
By the by, yon girls who are clever
with your paint brashes, did you ever
spend a few dollars at the damaged
counters nf the large Japanese stores'
Do you know that yon can buy for a
trifle lovely delicate vases and bits vi
oriental wares that would sell for many
dollars were it not for a crack or a chip
somewhere. Bay them joyfully, taku
them home tenderly and spend half an
hoar with your paint box, tilling np the
nick with flour paste, plaster of pans or
patty. Any of these will take culnr
nicely, and if carefully painted and
dried the vases will be practically as
good as the beat. New York Press
