When I came to myself I was lyinir
upon a trucltle bed In a bare, half
furnished room. Myhead was rlntrlnff
like a bell, and when I put up my hand
there was n lump like a walnut over
one of my ryes: My nose was full of
a pungent smell, and I soon found that
a strip of paper soaked In vinesar v.'as
fastened aoross my brow. At the other
endof the room.thls terrible little man
was Fitting with his knee bare, and his
elderly companion was rubbing it with
dome liniment. The latter seemed to be
in the worst of tempers, and he kept up
.orl OTnlllllfr U-hll'h HlP Other
.listened to with a gloomy face.
"Never heard tell of such a thins In
my life," h was saying. "In training
for a month, with nil the weight of it
on my shoulders, and then, when I set
you as tit as a trout, and within two
days of fighting ithe likeliest man on
the- list, you let yourself into a bye
battle with a foreigner."
"There, there! Stow your gab!" Raid
the other, sulkily. "You're a very good
trainer, Jlnv but you'd be better with
less Jaw."
"I should think It was time to jaw,"
the elderly man answered. "If this
knee don't get well before Wednesday,
they'll have It that you fought a cross,
and a pretty Job you'll have next time
you loolr for a backr."
"Fought a cross!" growled the
other. "I've won nineteen battles, and
no man ever so much as dared to say
the word 'crops' li my hearln". How
the deuce was I to get out of it when
the cove wanted the very clothes off
lily uua.iv .
v "Tut, man, you knew that the bjalc
and the guards were within a mile of
you. You coulU have set them on to
him 3 well then as now. You'd have

grot your clothes bark nsrain all right."
"Well, strike me!" said the Bustler,
"I don't often break my tralnin',- but
when it comes to glvin' up my clothes
to a Frenchy who- couldn't hit a dint
in a pat o' butter, why, .it's more than
I can swaller."
"Pooh, man, what are the clothes
worth? D'you know that Lord Ruf ton
alone has f 5,000 on you? When you
Jump the ropes on Wednesday, you'll
carry every penny of .'0,000 into the
ring. A pretty thing to turn up with a
swollen knee and a story about a
Frenchman!"
"I never thought he'd ha' kicked,"
said the Bustler.
"I suppose you expected he'd fight
Eroughton's rules, and strict P. R. ?
"Why, you silly, they don't know what
fighting Is In France."
"My friends," said I, sitting up on
wiy bed, "I do not understand very
much of what you say, but when you
speak like that it Is foolishness. We
know so much about fighting in France
that we have paid our little visit to
nearly every capital In Europe, and
very soon we are comlns to London.
But we fight like soldler3, you under
stand, and not like gamins In the gut
ter. You strike me on the head, I kick
you on the knee It Is child's play. Hut
If you will give me a sword and take
another one, I will show you how we
fight over the water."
They both stared at me In their solid,
English way.
"Well, I'm glad you're not dead,
Mounseer," said the elder one at last.
"There wasn't much sign of life In
you when -the Bustler and me carried
you down. That head of your ain't
thick enough to stop the crook of the
hardest hitter In Bristol." ;
"He's a game cove, too, and he came
for me like a bantam," said the other,
still rubbing his knee. "I got my old
left-right In, And he went over, as If
he had been pojeaxed. It wasn't my
fault, Mounsecr. I told you you'd get
pepper if you went on."
"Well, it's something to say all your
life, that you've been handled by the
finest light-weight In England," said
the older man, looking at me with an
expression of congratulation upon his
face. "You've had him at his best, too
hi the pink of condition, and trained
by Jim Hunter.V
"I am used .to hard knocks," said I,
unbuttoning my tunic, and showing my
two musket wounds. Then I bared
my ankle also, and showed the place
' In my eye where the guerrilla had
Stabbed me, '
"He con ' take his gruel," eatd the
Bustler. ... , .
"What a glutton he'd have made for
the middle-weights," remarked the
trainer; "with six months' coaching
he'd astonish the fancy. It's a pity
he's got to go back to prison."
I did not like that last remark at all.
I buttoned up my coat and rose from
the bed,
"I musL-ask you to let me continue
my Journey,", said I. '
"There's no help for it, mounseer,"
the trainer answered. "It's a hard
. thing to send such a man as you back
to such a place, but business Is busi
ness, and there's a twenty pound re
ward. They werc here this morning,
oking for you,) and I expect they'll
i round again.' . . .. '
.His words turned my. heart to lead.'
I'Surely, you . would not .betray, .me,".
"I will send you twice twenty

France. I swear it upon the honor of a
French lsrentlemam" ' " . "

j piy. I pleaded, I argued, I spoke of
shlp of brave men, but I might aa well
have boon addressing the two great
wooden, clubs which stood balanced
upon, the lloor In front of me. There
was no sign of sympathy upon their
bull faces.
"Ilusiiiess Is business, mounseer," the
old tf airier repeated. "Besides, how am
1 to put the Hustler Into tile ring on
Wednesday If he's Jugsed by the beak
for iiUIln' and abet tin a prisoner of
war? I've got to look after the Bustler,
nn J I take no risks."
This, then, was the end of all my
struggles and strivings. I was to be
led back again like a poor, silly sheep
which has broken through the hurdles.
They Utile knew me who could fancy
that I should submit to such a fate. I
had heard enough to tell mo where the
w?ak point of these two men was, and
I showed, as I have often showed be
fore, that Ktlenne Gerard is never so
terrible ns when all hope seems to
have deserted - him. With a single
spring I seized one of the clubs and
swung it over the head of the Bustler.
"Come what may," I cried, "you
shall be spoiled for Wednesday."
The fellow growled out an oath, and
would have sprung at me, but the other
Hung his arms around him and pinned
him to the chair.
"Not if I know It, Bustler," he
screamed. "None of your games while
I am by. (let away out of this, Frenchy.
We only want to see your back. Run
away, run away, or he'll get loose!"
It was good advice, I thought, and I
ran to the door, but as I came out Into
the op?n air my head swam around,
nnd I h.T.l to lean airalnst the porch to
save myself from falling. Consider all
that I hnd been through, the anxiety
of my escape, the long, useless flight
in the storm, the day spent amid wet
ferns, with only bread for food, the
second Journey by night, and now the
Injuries I had received In attempting to
deprive the little man of his clothps.
Was it wonderful that even I should
reach the Hmlta of my endurance? I
stood there in my heavy coat and my
poor, battered bushy, my chin upon my
chest, and my eyelids over my eyes. I
had done my best, and I could do no
more. It was the sound of horses'
hoof3 which made me at last raise my
head, and there was the gray-wus-tachud
governor of Dartmoor prison
not teri paces In front of me, with six
mounted warders behind him.
"So, colonel," he said, with a bitter
smile, "we have found you once more."
When a brsve man has done his ut
most and has failed, he shows his breed
ing by the manner In which he accepts
his defeat. For me, I took the letter
which I had In my pocket, and, stepping
forward, I handed It with such grace
of manner as I could summon to the
governor.
"It has been my misfortune, sir, to
detain one of your letters," said I.
He looked at me In amazement, and
beckoned to the warders to arrest me.
Then he broke the seal of the letter. I
saw a curious expression come over his
face as lie read it.
"This must be the letter which Sir
Charles Meredith lost," said he.
"It was In the pocket of his coat."
"You have carried H for two days?"
"Since the night before last."
"And never looked at the contents?"
I showed him by my manner that he
had committed an indescretlon In ask
ing a question which one gentleman
should not have put to another.
To my surprise he burst out Into a
roar of laughter.
"Colonel," said he, wiping the tears
from his eyes, "your have really given
both yourself and us a great deal of
unnecessary trouble. Allow me to read
the letter which you carried with you
In your flight."
And this Is what I heard:
"On receipt of this you are directed
to release Colonel Etlenna Gerard of
the Third Husears, who has been ex
changed against Colonel Mason of the
Horse Artillery, now In Verdun."
And an he read It he laughed again,
and the warders laughed, and the two
men from the cottage laughed, and
then, as I heard this universal merri
ment and thought of all my hopes and
fears, and my struggles and dangers,
what could a debonair soldier do but

lean against the porch once more and
laugh as heartily as any of them? And
of them all was It not I who had the
best reason to laugh, since In front of
me I could see my dear France, and
my mother, and the emperor, and my
horsemen; while behind me lay the
gloomy prison and the heavy hund of
the English king?
The End.
WONDERS OF FIGURES.
An Example of the Foot That Figures Are
Curious Things.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Home person of a mathematical turn
of mind has discovered that the multi
plication of 987G54321 (which you will
observe are simply the figures 1 to 8, In
clusive, reversed) by 45, gives 44,444,
444,445. ' Reversing the order of the
digits, and multiplying 123456789 by 45
we get a result equally as curious, vis..
6,555.505,505. If we take 123405789 as the
multiplicand and Interchanging the fig
ures in 45 so as to make them read 64,
use the last number as the multiplier,
and the result will be 6,606,006,606. Re-
.'!:. i- ' .;. '
turning to the multiplicand 987654321
and taking 64 as the multiplier again,
the result will be 53,8333,333,334 all 38
except the first and last figures, which
together read 64 the multiplier. Tak
ing the same multiplicand and 27, the
half of 62, as the multiplier, the pro
duct 1b 26,666,666,667, all 6s except the
first and last figures, which together
rekd 27 the multiplier. Now Inter
changing the order or the figures 27 and
using 72 Instead as a multiplier and
987654321 as the multiplicand we get
as a product 71,111,111.112, all Is except
the first and last figures, which to
gether read 72 the multiplier.
Mathematicians and others who de
light to wade around In the realms of
the curious are well aware of the fact
that there are many wonders to be met
with on every hand, but It is doubtful
If there Is a better Illustration of the
trite saying: "Figures will work won

Heullstlo Pon Picture of How Our Fortun

Hundred Years from Date.
Sloved by the prophetic spirit, a writer
In the New York Recorder thus peers
aheud Into the doings of the Amurlcan
people a century hence. After pronounc
ing the doom of Hie horse us an agency
of locomotion, ho observes that there will
"no longer be heard along the highways
tho rhythm of trot and gallops: no Joyous
nctglilngs. no terterou breathings of nags
oppressed with burdens. Jn their place will
resound the heavy roll of wheels, the whirr
of machinery, tho sereum of warning
whistles. Kverywhero steam or electric
carriages, everywhere coaling or petro
leum stutlons, everywhere water tunks
for tho hollers, restaurants for travelers,
blacksmith shops for repuirs in the ma
chinery, villages transformed Into minia
ture towns and 'hayseed' Into sophisti
cated townfolk. the entire hmdscupe in
vaded by automatic cars and aerial voy-el
ugcra, flying like birds through tne air.
"Such vehicles will not be without char
acter, and will lend Individuality to tho
scene. Siieelally remarkable will be the
lurge 'family car." or excursion carriage,
fitted with all conveniences. Onafeature
will bo the rooking of meals en route, for
the boiler, utilized as a sort of homely
kitchen, will facilitate the concoction of
succulent stews, of hot pustry and of
smoking coffee. The country doctor will
udopt a convenient 'petroleuse' run, as Its
name Indicates, by petroleum, and fur
nished with small drawers for medicines,
where the heat will keep at a wholesome
temperature his sudorific doses, his anti
septic potions, his prophylactic vaporizers
und Injectors. The matron will rejoice In
a three-wheeled wicker bosket-wagon, not
larger than an Indian sofa, which she will
manuge alone In the byways and the
woods. A great sight will be the 'electric
cobwebs,' whose two principle wheels,
lightly and delicately Interwoven, with
thin copper wire, will have a diameter ex
ceeding even that of the body of the ve
hicle, while the directing wheel, morel sub
stantial In appearance, will be reduced
two-thirds, so as to assist the evolutions
of those; who work it. These cobwebs will
be suited for long journeys, and will, there
fore, be extremely swift. They will attain
a speed of from seventy-live to ninety
miles an hour.
Cars of Every Kind.
"Traveling salesmen will speed along In
'drum cars,' very giddy In color, and open
at the sides so as to exhibit show cases
full of tempting baits for village coquetry
or country dudedom, while others will
have 'bargain cars,' replete with strange
bits of bric-a-brac In the shape of bottjes,
pots, cans or bales, according to the partic
ular line they represent. There will be
'campaign cars,' for candidates' election
eering tours; 'tabernacle cars,' dark and
mysterious, for clergymen on their pa
rochial rounds; 'antUite cars,' cheap little
vehicles, whose wheels will be so fixed
as exactly to bestride the ordinary broad
gauge railroad, and will be mainly de
signed for actors and tramps; and 'jour
nalistic joggers,' elegantly mounted In
brass and fitted with a typewriting ma
chine and, If necessary, a pretty type
writer girl, who will supply the motion
with her legs at the same time that her
hands are busy taking down dictation from
the master mind who accompanies her.
The streets of all the great cities New
York, Chicago, San Francisco, Paris or
London will be for Indeed from the com
parative calm and quiet of the present.
Merely human voices of discredited coach
men and car drivers will be drowned In
the prodigious and never-ceasing tumult
of the whistles, the bells, the gongs and
other alarms from ell sorts of vehicles.
the shrieks of escaping steam at each ac
cident or collision, tho thunderous roll of
wheels, the Interminable clicking of ma
chinery. street Cars on Pneumatic Tires.
"Following one another, hurriedly In tho
midst of the deafening clamor of trumpets
of warning will appear the cars of the
Metropolitan Electrio company. They
will not run on rails, pneumatic tires en
abling them to dispense with those relics
of the past. Interspersed among them will
be heavy carts and drays run by steam
and loaded to the height of a second-story
window by means of a mechanical crane,
which will be ready at any moment to un
load the merchandlso upon the sidewalks.
From all these vehicles there will float a
heavy odor of burned grease nnd of sul
phur. In order not to disturb the rich ami
elegant quarters of the. town, streets
which form the promenades or driving
places of the aristocracy will be forbidden
to electric or stenm carriages, whose use
will be confined to common and ordinary
people, with whom haste Is more Import
ant than comfort. . The fashionable ve
hicles of the beau monde will be rich car
riages with daintily decorated panels
mounted upon springs, the motive power
being furnished by a liveried suite of foot
men, two valets behind In gala costume,
moving with a quick, nervous action of
the magnificently developed calves the
pedals of tho wheels, while In front the
conductor, a skillful bicyclist, will give
to the equlppage a fast, certain and dis
tinguished gait.
"No horse will appear, Bave In cert'.'n
llttlo riding roads In the suburban parts.
Magnificent bicycles, run by the aid of
electricity and developing a high rate ot
speed by the merest touch of the most
emasculated foot, will be the fashionable
thing In places like Central Park. The
horse track will give place to the bicycle
track. Jerome Park and Washington Park
will no more attract people to see contests
of balvutors and Tennys. Instend, more
exoitlng ttluls of speed will lake place be
tween fn'iious bicyclists. Enormous prizes
will be ottired ly rival builders of the
wheels. A curious hlght hi all the large
cities will be the electrical funeral trains,
accommodating a number of burial parties
and running by schedule every day, each
train eonsistlng of half a dozen hearses
nnd perhaps a hundred coaches for the
friends of the defunct. ' These oxpreusrt
will run at the rate of. about 100 miles an
hour. A century from now progress In
transit will almost have reached its apo
gee. .. .. . ..

TO OUR patrons:
Wushburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their mnny paU
rons that thev will this year hold to their usual custom
of millhis STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers aro
of the opinion that it is already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will take
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
