All I knew was that there was a row on about a coe what called blnit-ill 'Alibi Pashas' or some rich outlandish name.

"As usual, England and France was mixed up In the serlmmace. I was serving aboard the Thunderer at that time, and we was stowing' at Malta when the welcome order came for us to proceed south with all speed. Wo men knowed there was something browing by the eager way the ofllcers talked to one unother.and we concluded It must Iw serlouM by the extra cutlass and prim drill we had to do. "We reached Alexandria In tlmo to take pail In the bombardment; but, of course, you know all about thut. Poor devils! It warn't such fun for n.

There we was slaving away, with the poisplra tlon dropping oft us and our parched tongues hanging out of oui mouths, nnd not a blessed chop of nothing to drink nil the time.

"1 un tell jou It was no blnomln" picnic, even at the start. The streets were nairow and quite bewlldetlng, and the further vtc got from our men the worse did It become. On oveiv side wo sav scowling ellow faces peeping at us ftotn the windows and roifs of the tall bouses You ne, we had not yet occupied the place, and It was full ot the defeated IJgvptians and worse scum, always so plentiful In these foreign cities.

The alteration sale was not a matter of choice, but compulsion. We must reduce our stock for two important reasons. The first is, that we MUST HAVE MORE ROOM for builders and mechanics to work in when this store closes, and the second is, that a number of new departments will be opened here as soon as the alterations are complete, which means that those now here MUST BE CONDENSED as far as floor space is con cerned.

' Hut women no only skltlUh creat- urea after all, so when the nhlp she WH9 on was stopped at Itosetta, Ml-cs Lucy foolishly resolved to return over land to her father. This was, of couree, thn very worst thliiR fdic could have dono, and the roault wiih that Lleu- tennnt Oralmmu met the nntlvo sei nnt, who was looking: for the ma jor to tell him that the gill hud re turned to the house and was hiding theie In uteat danKor. "t hen wc had run on for nbout ton minutes we camo across nn ugly crowd of armed tiff raff, who poemed Inclined to dlHpute tho toad with uh. 'Stnnd clear'" yelled the cap'n, as he dniKROd me Into an open doorway. On ly Jiut In time, for hud I been n mill utj later I should ceitnlnly hao lot th number of my mtsa theie and then, na a pel feet Htorm of bullets hissed by mo. Wo slnmmed tlio door to. find luckily tho fastenings were still Eood, ns we could hear the mob hammering against It and endeavoring to blow tho lock open " 'Quick; up hero,' ngnln shouted the cap'n, lending the way up some crazy stone steps on to tho flat roof. There was a kind of hatchway over the stairs, and this ,vo mnnnged to clap on In half n trick. As luck would have It we also found a pile of loose masonry, which had fallen from the dome of u temple place next door. "When I had shoveled nbout half a ton of this rubbish on to the hatch, I thlnl'3 It time to have a spell and take our bearings. I looks nrounch but ccitlon't see the cap'n now her "Just then I heard his voice polling and shotttlns curses In n most awful manner, and running in the dlieetlott cl the sound, T found htm nlng his anus und btamping about us If he was I. iltny on the crumpet. "'Look nt the llends!' lie roaicd, dancing with inge. 'Now, Lucy, I'm coining, dearest!' "And I bellee he would have Jumped per the parapet, a sheer chop of sixty feet, if I hadn't clinched his coat with both hands. "Theie across the narrow stieet we saw two Ihigllsh females crouched on the opoositf roof. The lowct part of the building was In Haines, and In the stieet below a ciowd of yellow mon grels were shouting und btnndlshlns their guns. "Now, If there Is one thing mni'n m other that Tom Saundeis pnts hls Klt on thu back about It Is that he never loses his head. The toot we i!i standing on had a flagstaff in tho middle, and In a moment like It came to mo that this spar was to be tho salvation of them two girls. " 'Help me pull tho stick down, Oia- hame!' I shouted, forgetting his lank In tho fluiry of the moment. He catehed on my meaning nt once, and we both tugged away for dear life. I can't say now whether the staff was lotten or how It tame about, but all I know Is that In a brace of shakes we had the spar clown nnd stretched be tween the two roofs. The next minute my boots were off, nnd I was actosa before the chaps below had time to think what was n-dolng of. "Mis. fSrahnme I mean Miss Lucy.as she wrfs then like a true woman, want ed to Kand aigufylng with her maid as to who I should take flist, but I cut their tackle fhort by seizing the young lndy in my amis and Hurting oif. She was Hue blue and didn't screech, but netted In my nuns, bless he: heart, as If fhe was aliaby. "I know I must be getting old, for whenever I think of tint time now cold beads of persritat.on stnnd out on my face, and I can feel my heait beating like the lod of u donkey engine. 'And soon as T stepped out on the boom a hoar3e shout came from below, more like the ronr of wild animals than anything elbe. Then T could hear pop guns going off, but there couldn't hae been a decent phot In nil the blllnc ot 'em, or we should never have got across. "Before jou could count two I had placed the purty creature lit the cap'n's arms and was half-way back again " 'Come along, my lass!' I said. And without a whimper the plucky gnl camo light to the edge of the ioof to meet me Then the worst part of the bean feast began. Afoie I had taken half a dozen steps a bullet plugged through nv cheek, and I spit out two of my best blfccult ciushets. Polly, too that's the missus's name got a nasty scratch, though I didn't know that till after- waid. Then I feels a stinging pain above the rlcht knee, nnd, thinks I, 'It's nil up this time. Tom, my boy,' when I feels the cap'n laying hold of ine, nnd we was drawee! Into safety. I thought at least it was safely, but soon found I was wrong. The de mons had managed to fence the trap, and now came swarming up by doz ens. Luckily for us, two llrltlsh tais Is n mntch for a hunched ragged camp followers, and up-ended a scote or bo before they knowed wheie they was, I don't go for to say, though, that things wasn't looking seilous when. Just In the nick of time, we heaid the Lamp ot a patiol, nnd the yellow chnps scooted so quickly that In about ten Kionds there wasn't nnij ono to be i-cen 'About a month aftetwaid, when I was getting j mind again feu I was a bit knocked up after the scrimmage I was taking a walk lounel the hos pital when I plumps up agut Tolly. The meeting was so sudden that we weiu both lather tnken aback. She colotcd up like a beautiful rose; then, afoie I could sav lay u-ctlng. with her head on my Fhnuldcr. I waited till she hail calmed down a bit. then I semoezes her and says, 'Pollj, shall we"' Without no shilly-shallying about she ant .ered. 'Yes" And that was what they calls the sequel to our nd ventutes.

Of all tho men who have been gov ernor of Pennsjlvanla not ono was more domestic. In his habits than Colo nel William A. Stone, who Is now nr rnnqlng to move front Washington to tho exccutUc manslem nt Hnirlsbuti:. He was married twice. His llrst wlfo was rila Stevens, daughter ot flxera. ftovens, a fainvr living near Wells boro, Tioga county. Thev weie mar lied In 1870 and two children were the result ot their union. Thev are Stephen Htone, a practicing young at torney of Pittsburg, and Mrs. Hurrlett Htckllng, wife of Dr. U. Peiry Hick ling, a prominent phjslclon of Aasli inirton. In 1M7 Colonel Plone, who was then district attorney of Tioga county", see ing that the ip was but llttlo held for aelvancement In tint place, moved to Plttshuig where his wife died. In 1879 he mnrrleel a daughter of Judge 11 "!. White, who for manv years wa tho presiding Judge of Tioga county. Six children result",! from this union. Colonel Stone was a member of tho rifty-second, Flft -third. Flfty-fouith nnd rifty-tlfth congresses. Up to tlueo years ago be lived In a palatial homo at h3 Favette street, Allegheny. During the long session of conguss he found ho had to be In Washington all tho time mid he took a bouse at No. 17J1 Q stieet. FOND OF CHILDREN. Although Mis. Stone likes to enter tain nnd will probably give magulll cent receptions during her olllel.il resi dence In Hnrrlsburg, Colonel Stone does not care much for society. He would rather romp and "play horse" with his children than wear a tires suit to a reception or dinner. When he lived In Allejiheny he would go home fiom his law unite and seldom left his house In the evening. Callous often found him with three or four thilthen on his lap or back telling or leadlti.T stories suit ed to their jouthful minds. If the children ordtr"d it he would get doc.n on all fouis, the floor and ride the oun::stors around the loom on his back. Playing with the children wa recreation for him. At the ouilncal; of the civil war, though only 16 ears of age, ho en listed in the ITilon army and went to the front with the Army of the Poomac and participated in a number of battles, secuilng the commission of second lieutenant of Company A, ot the Ono Hunched and nighty-seventh I'ennsvlvanla Volunteers by btavety on the Held. ACter the war he asso ciated himself with the State National Gttnt d and was e'ommi"slonc!i a lieu tenant colonel. UOYHOOD Some je.us aftei the wnr he entered the nut nml school at Manslleld, Tioga county, taught school fot a while and then read law at Wellsboro, where he was admitted to the bar in 1S70. Since then he has been engaged In the prac tice of his profession at Wellsbuoio and Mibseouently at Pittsburg. He was elected dlstilct attorney of Tioga countv soon nfter his admission to the bar. He resigned the district attorney ship in 1S7S to settle in Plttshuig. He was appointed I'nlted States attorney for the Western dlstiict of Pennsylva nia by President Haves and was reap pointed by President Aithur. Ptesldent Cleveland, however, removed him from utile e bee nuse of some speeches he made In the Reaver gubernatorial campaign. Colonel Stone then iesunied his private practice. In .Tune, lfeyo. he was nominated for congress In placu of the late Thomas M Hajne, who declined after receiving the nomination fiom the convention. Tin: STONU HILL.

Colonel Stone Is as Intensely domes tla In his tastes as he Is loyal to his labors as a representative of his peo ple. He bus had an otllce built In the basement of his Washington home and all suth work as tan bo tuiusacted away rtotn tne c-,ipuoi is none inote. He cares little for the amenities of so called sothil life, though ho oecaplon ally goes out with his wife, of whom he Is very pitiud. She has ottih, beau ty and enthusiasm und Is deeply Inter ested In bet htibbands' career and suc cess. She la a giaceful hostess and tin men of builns and brllllunc v that nte so sadly lucking at the oiellnary tun ot teas and receptions aio alums to be mot with In goodly numbets In her drawlnir loom. Sho dresses In the pet fecllon of taste and Ins no more ihs1 tldlous ei it', not ardent nilmher than her husband. Colonel Stone divides his evenings among his wife, children and books. Ho Is an oimilveroui leader, never making a lailioad Journey without the companionship of a book. On ono of lib, jecent ttlps fiom heie to Plumbing ho was Immeifced in the 'Seats of tho Mighty." He has so decided a panchant for books of adventuro that thoro Is a standing order at thollbiary fot liter ature of that description. It Is this bent posulbly that makes him so fascinating a story-teller to cnuuten. Roosevelt's Rough Riders Restored!)
