PART t,
"Did I see any fighting In Venettue
la?" responded my brother, who had
juat returned from there, and about
whose aafety we bad been very anxious
during the last political revolution In
that country of political unrest.
"Well, of a sort, I saw plenty. It was
fighting, but o war, as you would con
utrue the term In the Forty-second. If
it could have had a handful of you men
with me, I'd have mad some of those
.Venezuelans alt up."
I looked at his strong, upright form,
broad-shouldered and muscular, with a
sigh of regret. He would have betn as
fine a soldier as any in the British army.
Ills whole heart and soul was In sol
diering, not for the amusements at
tached to the life, but purely from the
love of It as a profession.
Unfortunately, however, at the time
when he had to pass his competitive ex
amination he failed in some subjects
which I must own seemed very Immate
rial to the making of a good officer.
I, who am far less fitted than he, ob
tained my commission through a better
knowledge of the art of spelling, and
twMng more closely acquainted with the
Historical phases through which my
country has parsed in years gone by.
My brother being rejected as a serv
ant In arms of the queen followed the
example of many others, and traveled.
America, both North and South, had
the greatest fascination for him, and he
happened to be up the country, when
one of the so-called revolutions broke
out.
"Tell me about It," I said, as we set
tled down to a smoke over the fire after
dinner.
He watched the feathery blue rings
rise In the air and vanish, placed his
feet on the fender, and looked stead
fastly at the crimson glow.
I fancied from his expression that he
was recalling something unpleasant. I
waited In silence for him to begin.
"I had been traveling, as you know,"
he said, at last, "through many of the
South American states, and had a very
good knowledge of Spnnlnh. I met with
a fair amount of adventure, but not un
til I reached one of the Htnall towns in
the interior of Venezuela did I take up

ihtoss some Knglish miners, a class you
find all over the world. There was
plenty of good sport, and I got to know

ants. They are supposed to hate the
Knglish, which they do collectively, but
their appreciation of the race is shown
by their anxiety to get thi-m to Join
any one party in a scrimmage with an
other. ' "They know an Englishman can be re

mnnot, though at times they will fight
like demons. The people of the district
were suspected, and rightly, of organis
ing a rising against the government. So
the latter thought it best to take tho
Job off their hands, and send a force to
quell the idea. On hearing this, a call
to arms was made, and, to my surprise,
a deputation waited upon me to request
me to lend my services, and take a
prominent position In the little army."
"That Just suited you!" I exclaimed.
"Yes. The opportunity of getting
some experience of real fighting was
too much for me. and I consented!"
"It didn't run to uniforms, but other
wise the equipment of cur force wa9
good.
"Drilling commenced and in a few
flays we were able to move our body of
nien about in quite a respectable fash
ion. Intelligence soon came that the
Invading forces were at hand.
"A river divided them from us, along

no doubt they wara far more efficient
In the art of war. They encamped near
the river, with the evident Intention of
lirldglng and crossing It. There was
one thing to do, and only one, to my
mind. Attack them I The blow would
be so thoroughly unexpected, that suc
cess seamed to me certain. I propound
ed my views, which were well received,
and I was asked to carry out the attack.
"I knew the country fairly well, and
arranged for the greater part of my
force to cross at a ford some way above
and work round under cover of the
dark.
"I determined to cross with them.hav

"At daybreak our enemies would at

Rut the officer in charge placed me un

my case when the work of the day was
over.
"There was a brick building In the
camp, with two rooms, belonging to
some farmer, in one of which I was
placed under strong guard.

"The officers, on the whole, behaved
very well to me, ordering me to be sup

"Gradually I began to realize the

clearly my folly in taking up the cause,
tho merits of which I knew so little.
Yet, ven with the sentence of death
hanging over me, the most depressing
though of all was the fact that I hnd
made such a foolish mess of my mili
tary tactics.
"I ought not to have assumed such a

experienced at first some slight com
fort In the fact that I was going to be

"I looked round my prison, a dull
sensation of apathy at my heart. Es

easy enough, but I knew tuo well what
my reception would be without, for I
oould hear the steady tramp of senti
nels. Kwn now 111 my dreams the reg
ular fall of those feet outside my pris

"The thought of approaching death

"Sounds In the adjoining room at
tracted my attention," continued my
brother. "It was carpentering I list
ened curiously.
"When my coffee was brought In I
asked what was going on.
"The soldier, who was very commu
nicative, told me they were putting the
dead officer in a coffin, and, as the cus
tom is in hot climates, be would be
burled that night.
"When again left alone, I looked at
my coffee, but did not drink it. Though
at first I felt comforted at the idea of
death, I found myself clinging desper
ately to dear life with a wild longing.
"What if I tried the Monte Christo
plan? But how would that save me?
Better be shot than buried alive.
"All was still. I felt my body tremble
and my pulse quicken.
"I crept stealthily across the room,
and, stooping down, placed my ear to
the door. Not a sound within only
grim death reigned in that silent cham
ber. I pushed the door open and looked
through.
"There stood the coffin In solid state,
one or two forlorn looking candles gut
tering upon it, dimly lighting the bare

DLES ON THB NAILS I

walls, throwing queer shadows around.
"On the floor lay some carpenter's
tools.
"A sudden thought flashed through
my brain, one of daring possibilities.
It seemed to brace me, and then intoxi
cate my mind, deadening fear, and
awakening my crushed hopes.
"I placed my hand to my head, and
staggered back against the door, for the
room whirled round, and I seemed to
discern the outlines of the coffin through
a dense mist.
"Pulling myself together I crept softly
forward, and knelt down by the wood
en box. What If this strange Inspira
tion, this one last Bhot failed!
"I would not harbor the question, but
forced It back as with eager fingers I
unscrewed the coffin lid. I raised it
gently, without a sound, and the livid
face of the poor dead captain stared into
rain.
"Tomorrow, if I could not save my
self, I should be even as this lifeless
clay, lying cold and stiff under the de
stroying volley. i
"The haunting fear of the "Eternal
Unknown spurred me on to action. I
was full of life and activity I could
not died without a struggle. The sight of
the corpse had a great effect upon me.
Tho mystery of death was torture to
my racking brain. Reverently but
tffl
quickly I grasped the body in my arms,
and, lifting it from, the rude shelly bore
my ghastly burden to the adjoining
room, where I laid it under the blanket
that had been given to me.
"Then I returned, and commenced
operations, every moment fearing to be
overheard. '
"I took the candles oft the nails In
which they were stuck, and, turning
over the coffin lid, fastened In several
long screws, being careful they did not
come through. Then tying some strings
round them I made a handle, about
where my hands would be when lying
within. It only took a tew minutes to
AH up the old screw holes with tallow,
and rub the tops with dust, to make a
very fair resemblance to the heads of
the screws, which had gone. Hastily
replacing the candles on the nails, and
the lid over the lower portion of the
coffin, I crept in, and with my string
handles drew it over me, holding it
down firmly.
"My first feeling was one of suffoca
tion, so unbearable that my scheme al
ready seemed Impossible. 'Should I
have time to make an air-hole?' I
thought, and would it be safe If I did?'
1 resolved to try, and pushing my lid
down, reached a large gimlet, with
which I bored some holes at he side.
"A tramping of feet, and I dropped
the 'tool, drawing the ltd to its proper
place.
"As the door latch turned, my heart
beat violently. Had they seen It move?
"With all my might I clung to the
lid, the muscles of my. arms swelling,
my teeth clenched, my breath coming
quick and fast.
"That was the most agonizing mo
ment in my life, ns I waited In dread
suspense, all the vitality in my veins
frozen with horror.
"The sound of a low monotonous voice
broke In my ear. The words brought
the reality of my awful )osltion vividly
before me. The priest was blessing
this mockery of death! As he ceased,
the soldiers went to the door of the ad
Joining room. Would they discover the
exchange? I heard It open and shut
again; they were evidently satisfied I
was asleep under my blanket. The
coffin was raised; I still clung to the lid,
fearing It would slip, but my grasp was
so tight that the only risk was in the
string breaking.
"My feelings can be imagined, as they
carired me out on their shoulders, these
strong men who were prepared to shoot
me down like a dog at daybreak,
"I knew only too well what a wild
attempt to save myself would have
seemed at any other time. But despera
tion and acute emergency will drive one
to any lengths, and I had seen so much
of the superstition of these people.
"So I clung to my wretched thread of
hope, and prayed as I never did before!
I did not know where I was being taken,
but judging from the time it was out of
the camp.
"Tho formula of this military night
funeral was familiar to me. I should be
set down at the side of the grave on the
ropes that would lift and lower me while
the priest sprinkled some more holy
water. Then the firing party would fire
and the earth be shoveled in.
"Before the Hteady march ceased I
raised my lid slightly to get a good
breath of fresh air. Then an abrupt
halt,, and I was deposited with rather
Jerky motions on the ground.

when a dush for freedom, life and air,

and white, consumed with superstitious
dread at this weird resurrection.
"Whether they beUevei I was In

twinkle of an eve I was away under
cover of thei night. Before they had
time to consider, the phantom vanished,
seizing the opportunity of a moment

"Thank heaven that there were no
stars or moon, and if ever a man ran
like the wind, I did that night."

I congratulate you."

THE END.
DISCOVERY OF COFFEE.
An Arab Traveler in Abyssinia Slum
bled on the Berry by Chance.
The following Is given us the original
discovery of coffee: Near the middle of
the fifteenth century a poor Arab was
traveling through Abyssinia, and, find
ing himself weak and weary from fati
gue, he stopped near a grove. Then, be
ing in want of fuel to cook his rice, he
cut down a tree which happened to be
covered with dead berries. His meal
being cooked and eaten, the traveler dis
covered that the half-burned berries
were very fragrant. He collected a
number of these, and on crushing them
with a stone he found that their aroma
increased to a great extent.
While wondering at this he acciden
tally let fall the 'Substance In a can
which contained his scanty supply of
water. Lo, what a miracle! The al
most putrid water was almost Instantly
purified. He brought it to his, lips. It
was fresh, agreeable, and in a moment
after tho traveler had so far recovered
his strength and energy as to be able
to resume his Journey. The lucky Arab
gathered as many berries as he could,
and having arrived at Aden, In Arabia,
he informed the Must! of his discovery.
That worthy divine was an Inveterate
opium smoker, who had been suffering
for years from the Influence of that
poisonous drug. He tried an infusion
of the roasted berries, and was so de
lighted at the recovery of his own vigor
that in gratitude to the tree he called
It Cuhauh, which la Arabia signifies
torce.
FAMOUS MEN WHO
WORE UMx BEARDS
Statesmen of Other Days Classified u to
Thefr Wbfskers.
MOST OP THEM HAD SMOOTH FACES
Incidentally, Too, Most of Them Also
Had Smooth Manners, bat There
Were Exceptions to Both Rales.
History Reviewed from a Hirsute
Standpoint,
From the Washington Post.
Both Major McKinley and Mr. Bryan
are smoothshaven like the beardless
statesmen of the olden time. Still the
old-timers were not all smooth of face,
no matter how smooth they may have
been In some directions. There were
some very smooth articles of politicians
among those old fellows, as witness the
little deal between Hamilton and Jef
ferson, which resulted in Hamilton get
ting his financial bills through the house
and Jefferson getting the National Capi
tal located on the Potomac river. Wash
ington, our first president, was smooth
of face, but John Adams wore short side
whiskers, but no moustache. Jefferson,
Madison, and Monroe were all smooth
of face, as well as smooth articles all
around. JohnQulncy Adams wore short
side whiskers like his distinguished sire,
Jackson, who twice contested the presi
dency with Adams, the second time suc
cessfully, also wore short side whiskers,
a mere tuft to the point of the ears In
his case. Clay, another with whom
Jackson twice contended for the presi
dency, In 1X24 and l$'i2, neither getting
It the first time, Jackson winning the
second,' was smooth of face. So, too,
was Frellnghuysen, Clay's running mate
In 1844.
Van Buren had bushy side whiskers,
which helped to make him look foxy,
and to give him the reputation he long
enjoyed of being the shrewdest politi
cian of his time. William Henry Harri
son, who twice contested the presiden
cy with Van Buren, losing In 1S36 and
winning In 1840, was smoothshaven, as
was Tyler, his running mate, who suc
ceeded him in the White House. Col
onel R. .M. Johnson, who killed Tecum
seh, and who was Van Buren'g partner
on the ticket both in 1S36 and 1840, was
smooth of face. He is also the only
man ever elected vice-president by the
senate. In 1844 Polk and Dallas, the
successful candidates, were destitute
of mustache or beard, and so were
Clay and Frelinghuysen. James O.
lllrney started the Abolitionists to run
ning candidates for President, who had
no chance of election in 1840, anil ran
again in 1844. He wore side whiskers
of the pattern called mutton chop.
General Taylor wore short side whisk
ers. Fillmore, Taylor's second on the
ticket and his successor, was smooth
faced. Lewis Cass, who was defeated
that year, was smoothfaced, but his
running mate, W, O. Butler of Ken
tucky, wore little short side whiskers.
This was the year when Van Buren
ran as a Free Soil candidate, and
evened up with Cass. He still wore
his bushy side whiskers but his side
partner, Charles Francis Adums, was
smoothfaced. Franklin Pierce was
smoth of face. General Scott who ran
against his subordinate of the Mexican
war, was Just beginning to wear mea
ger side whiskers.
The campaign of 1S56 brought out the
first presidential candidate who ever
wore a moustache and full beard, either
or both, and he wore both. This was
John C. Fremont, the candidate of the
new Republican party, which was about
to make new precedents In more way
than in nominating a moustaehed and
bearded candidate for the presidency.
The Democratic candidate, James Bu
chanan, was smooth-faced, but his
running mate. John C. Breckinridge,
wore a moustache. Judge Wllilum L.
Dayton, Fremont's partner, was smooth
shaven. Fillmore and Donelson, the
Know Nothing candidates, were both
smoothfaced. In IStlfl there were four
tickets In the field, Lincoln and Ham
lin, Breckinridge and Lane, Douglass
and Johnson, and Bell and Everett.
There was but one moustache among
the eight, and Breckinridge owned that
one. After the election Mr. Lincoln
grew a beard confined to his throat
and the lower part of his cheekbones
and chin, which failed to add to his
homely style of beauty. Andrew
Johnson, who was elected vice-president
with Lincoln in 1864 and succeded
him after his assassination, was a
smoothfaced man. General McClellon,
the Democratic candidate for president
in 18G4, wore a moustache and a tuft
on his lower Hp, which did not extend
to his chin. It might be called an ab
breviated imperial. George H. Pendle
ton, Little Mac's associate on the
ticket, wore a moustache and beard.
A period Is now reached when for
twenty-eight years we have had no
president who did not wear some pat
tern of hulr upon his face. Three in
succession, Grant, Hayes, and Garfield,
wore a moustache and beard. Grant's
first vice-president, Schuyler Colfax,
wore a beard, but no moustache. His
second, Henry Wilson, wore short side
whiskers. Hayes, vice president, Wil
liam W. Wheeler, was smotohfaced.
Garfield's vice-president and successor,
Chester A. Arthur, wore a moustache
and Bide whiskers, that being the first
time this combination has been seen In
the executive chair. Horatio Seymour,
the Democratic candidate in 1868, wore
short thin side whiskers; his second,
Frank P. Blair, a moustache. Horace
Greeley shaved his face to his chin and
the edge of his cheek bones, but below
that region the whiskers were thick.
This is the pattern known as Galways.
Samuel J. Tllden was smooth of face,
but Thomas A. Hendricks wore short
side whiskers, drover Cleveland was
elected weurinng a moustache, and he
has never shaved it off or added whis
kers to It. Allan G. Thurman, who was
on the ticket with him In 1888, wore a
beard, but no moustache, James G.
Blaine wore a moustache and beard,
John A. Logan a heavy sweeping black
moustache. Benjamin Harrison wears
a moustache and beard. Levi P. Mor
ton, his vice-president. Is smooth of
face. Whltelaw Keid, his running mate
In 1892, wears a moustache. And now
we have gone back to the beardless era,
so far as the leading candidates for the
presidency are concerned. But the
vice-presidential candidates, like Vice
President Stevenson, wear moustaches.
William Wirt, the first third party
candidate for the Presidency, wore
very short side whiskers, as did Wil
lie P. Mangum, of North Carolina, who
was voted for In 1836 for President by
the electors of South Carolina. Francis
Granger, pf New York, who, the same
year, received seventy-seven electoral
votes for Vice-President, three more
than William Henry Harrison for
President, was smooth of face. Charles
OConnor, who was the candidate of
the stralghout Democrats in 1872, wore
Galways of a less aggressive pattern
than Greeley. Peter Cooper, who was
the Greenback candidate In 1876, wore,
- .
even more aggressive Galways than
Oreeley. William H. Crawford, of
Georgia, who -was the last man to re
ceive a nomination for President at the
hands of a Congressional caucus, in
1824, and who was defeated, being third
in a race between four, was smooth of
face, as was Daniel Webster, who re
ceived the electoral votes of Massa
chusetts for President In 18?6, and who
always wanted to be president, but who
was never even nominated by his
party. Aaron Burr, who was Jeffer
son's first Vice-President, and who tried
to beat him for President when the
election was thrown into the House,
thus causing a change in the 'manner
of choosing the President and Vice
President, was a small man and wore
small side whiskers.
George Clinton, of New York, who
was Jefferson's second vice-president
and Madison's first. was - smooth
faced, as was Elbrldge Gerry, of Massa
chusetts, from whose name comes the
political word "gerrymander." who
was Madison's second vice-president,
and who died In office, being the sec
ond vice-president to die In office,
George Clinton being the first. Charles
Cotesworth Purkney, of South Caro
lina, and Rufus King, of New York,
who upheld the waning cause of the
Federal party in 14 and in 1S0S to
gether, the latter being in 1816 the last
man to stund fur the persidency as a
Federal, were both smooth of face.
Daniel D. Thompklns, of New York,
who was Monroe's vice-president dur
ing both of his terms, and the only vice
president who served two terms with
the same president except John Ad
ams, wore very short side whiskers.
John C. Calhoun, the last man to serve
as vice-president with two different
presidents, with John Quincy Adams
and during Jackson's first term, was
smooth of face, but he had enough
hair on his head to have fitted out sev
eiftl PaderewskiH.
TftOIJGIIT 111 UT8 THE TEETH
Brain Workers IIavrMore Trouble
with Molars Than Do Laborers.
From the New York Times.
A prominent New York dentist made
the statement the other day, which he
said was backed by the highest scien
tific authority, that Intellectual pur
suits play havoc with the teeth, and
that the more a man toils with his
brain the more likely ore his teeth to
disappear or become diseased before he
reaches middle life.
The reason why people In this coun
try have poorer teeth than those of any
other country in the world la because
they live at the highest possible pitch
of nervous pressure. Savage races
generally have teeth superior to those
of civilized races.
There are many unusual occupations,
too, that have a bad effect on teeth.
Quicksilver miners, bleachers who use
chloride of lime, people employed In
soda factories, are some of those who
suffer. But the most harmful trade of
all, not only In its effect upon the gen
eral health, but also upon the teeth,- is
that of making matches. The phos
phorus used in their manufacture af
fects in some way the. health of the
teeth of those who handle it.
Artificial teeth are made of all sorts
of strange substances nowadays, but
probably the most curious of all ma
terials used for this purpose is com
pressed paper. A dentist in Germany
has been making them in this way for
many years past. False teeth were
never so cheap as they are today and
at the same time never so dear. They
can be purchased as low us S3 per set,
or they may cost as high as UM0.
There are expensive dentists, as well as
expensive doctors, and it is not an un
common thing for S500 to be paid for a
new outfit of molars.
When it comes to expensive teeth
or, rather, an expensive tooth proba
bly the costliest and most highly prized
In the world is that of the sacred mon
key. It Is In one of the temples of
Slam, preserved In a gold box. The
value the natives put upon It may be
Judged by the fact that they paid $:i.7r.O.
000 to Portugal for Its ransom when
the fortunes of war placed It In the
possession of that nation. The Cinga
lese also venerate as sacred a monkey's
molar, while the people of Malabar wor
ship one of the elephant's grinders. In
the Tonga Islands a tooth from a
shark's Jaw Is regarded with great ref
erence, and In India the faithful adore
a tooth that is said to have beenonce
in active service In the mouth of Budd
ha himself.
The first dentist. In fact, must have
lived long before Buddha. At any rate,
there were dentists In plenty In Egypt
and Greece B00 years B. C, who used
gold for filling teeth and golden wire
for fixing artificial ones. Gold has even
been discovered in the teelh of mum
mies known to be many thousands of
of years old.
