"Look here, Wilrner," said Greer, 'this won't do. Any fellow that's led the touch life thai you bavo must have lots of things to tciL Come brace up and give us a story: 'We want to be amused." "Never h;ul but one extraordinary adventure," said Wilmer, "and that was chiefly remarkable for the way it ended. You won't like it." "Come, pivc it to us." Take a drink Jack, and becin." Wilmer took his pipe from his iiiouth and stretched out his rame m his chair. 'Well, you see,' he said, "it was when 1 Cist came to Sew Yore. I wa.3 having a pretty bard time of it.

From Baxter Mrect we marie several turns to the light to a street totally unfamiliar to me. There didn't seem to be any hurry and as we walked . along I Hnoke d a cigar w.dch my mysterious employer handed me. At a little baker's shop we turned o:T into a narrow alley dimly lighted. 1 suppose it was swarm ing with people because I could hear them bustling around and talking. When wo came to a houso that lookc 1 empty the man unlocked the door, carefully locked it again and went up a flight of stairs into a back room, I following. All this time we bad been groping around in tho dark, but the man struck a mat'-h and lit a candle. Then I saw the room was perfectly 1 are except for a common wooden ( hair and table on which stood the candle and a leather valise. 'Now, ' sai 1 the man, "sit down there."

I remember that he had a cast in. one of them, and thinking that be would bo quite good looking if bis beard was trimmed in a point. All this time the man was raging and swearing and threatening my life. Suddenly there was a sound down stairs as if something had leer thrown against the front door. Mj adversary turned. As he did so made a quick movement and pinioned him. He was a powerful fellow, but I got bun underneath. In tbeetrug pie the pistol wont off, the bullet striking the ceiling. I knocked the man down, gave him a blow on the head, enough to have settled an ox. then picking up his key I rushed down stairs, unlocked the door bui forgot the key and left it In the lock. The street was full of people but I did not dare to ask for assistance from any of them. My hat wasgone, my clothes torn in the struggle, but I went on several squares looking lor a policeman. Not one came in sight until I found myself in the Bower, 'Come!witn me," I said to the first one I met. 'Where to?'' he inquired. "Com a. coaie," I sa'd breathlessly He look 'd at my wild condition mid ovidently thought that I was eithor crazy or drunk, but he came, while 1 ti)1 1 him as best I could, about my adventure, he seeming very skeptical.

There was my hat om tho -able, the buliet i ole in the wail, h.;t the valise and the red-haired man were gone I While the pollcsman was examin ing the room I sat down on the chair Dvercome by that strange seusatiou of jxhaustion. Ieath seemed to be in the atmosphere of the place, a;:d I believe it was the effect of the cigar which had been given me, that It had been poisoned. The policeman and tho baker made i thorough search but could discern no clue. The rest of tho house was vacant, and evidently no other room had ever been occupied. It was the man's intention to lure me to this place merely to get my signature, and, evidently, to make away with me afterwards. The policeman roused me from my torpor, took down the particulars of the affair, the appearance of the man and my address but said there was no hope of ever finding him. 1 made my way to my own room about 3 o'clock in tho morning and without undressing, threw myself on the bed like a log, to sleep off the ef fect ot the drugged cigar. It was late in tha afternoon of the following day when I awoke, and in tensely hot. 1 went to the wladow and sat down to think over the events of the evening before. As I did so I remembered where I had first seen that man at the window of the house back. Looking over I saw sitting at that identical basement window, writing, that very same red-bearded rascal and would-bc murderer. I watched him closely and saw how easy .t would be for me to jump out of m window, run across the courtyard and seize him. Looking around to see if there was a man in sight to come to my assist ance in the struggle, a sense of coin cidence overcame me. Everything was the same as it had been that first afternoon when I saw him. The yellow-haired woman was lifting up the top of the box out of the window and calling out: Maggie. I've a great mind not to bring you the potatoes. I've been calling you for ten minutes." 1 looked on my lap. There was tho paper on which I had scribbled my name. It bad nevr blown away ."

Never was any house or any forger, or any cigar," said Jack doggedly with a grin. ' I told you fellows you wouldn't like the end but you would have it." He looked around.

Th Flint Baca for th Amrim Cup and th American's Victory. The first race for the cup, now known as the " Amei lean cup, was tailed around the Isle of Wight on August 22, 1851, says the Philadel phia Press. Of the yachts that sailed the seas in those days the gallant old America, 'full of years and honors, is probably the only one now in com mission. The Royal Yacht Squadron had offered a cud, open to competi tion by yachts of all nations. The America was lying at Cowes, and her owners were anxious to get a match race with a representative British yacht. Commodore Stevens entered the America In this open race. There were six schooners, ono a three-master of 392 tons, and eight cutters In tho race. The America w.s the last yacht to get o.T. She ran wlng-and-ving, her main sail out on one side and her foresail out on the other, and very soon had sailed grandly through the Ceet, reaching the schooner Be atrice and the cutters Aurora, Yo lante, and Arrow, which were lead ing. Finally the America, by very skillful dodging, managed to get into the lead. The Yankee boat with the wind free had shown superiority over the English ve-sel And when it came to windward work she proved that she was equally superior. She worked to windward so speedily that by the time the point was reached there was not a ya lit In sight from her decks. The wind now died down and a strong head tide was encountered, against which the America made little head way. This gave the fleet, which had not caught the full strength of tho tide, a chance to creep up on her. The little cutter Aurora and the cut ter Arrow nearly caught up with the America, but the rest of the fleet were miles astern. At St. Catharine's the Arrow went aground and was out of the race, but the little Aurora clung to the America admirably. The wind now freshened and again the America drew away from her plucky little rival. After ctting by -. Catharine's the America bad a lead ing wind and easing off her sheets tore through the water in magnifi cent stylo and i-wept "toward Cowes. a remarkable winner. The defeated L'uglish yachts were two days alto gether In getting Into port. 1'he dis may of the English ya htmen and ail Great Britain at the terrible defeat given by the little black Yankee is almost a matter of international history. Commodore Stevens had tried be fore the big race for a match very hard and had posted in the Royal Squadron's castle a challenge to sail a;ainst any yacht for from 1,000 to 10,000 guineas, but the English weie afraid of the Yankee from his first appearance and the challenge was never accepted. He Happened to Know Her. "Well, by George!" he said to a fellow-passenger on the rear platform of a Baker st eet car, "but of all the outlandish bats I ever saw on a woman that takes the cane! I mean that woman near the front door on the right." "Yes, she looks like a fool!" replied the other. Tho idea of a woman 40 years old getting such a hat as that must make all her relatives tired." "i'es, it probably does." "1 wonder if she has any idea how homely she Is?" continued the first, who seemed greatly put out. "Not a bit of It. She imagines she's real pretty and stvlish. That sort always docs," "Pretty! stylish! Why. you might travel fora month and not find an other such homely woman, and as for her style she lools as if she had coma out of the woods." "Yes. you are right." "If my wife was such a chromo as that I'd leave ht-r. Even the chil dren grin as they look at her." "ilcr husband has threatened to leave her, but it did no good." ouietlv replied No. "Ohl tbt-n you know him?" "Ye " Here occurred a painful asting a full minute, during pause, which the twe men avoidod looking at each other. Finally No. 1 made a great effort, and said: "Maybe you are the husband him self?" "Yes, I'm the one," answered No 2, "and if It won't make no great difference to you we'il change the subject and talk about the weather. Do you think we've had rain enough for corn and potatoes?" But No. 1 saw a man on the cor ner who owed him VZ or something or other and hurriedly jumped off to collect it and get down the side street. Free Press. Willine to Try.

One ofthe First Families. Several years ago there was an oM family In lennsylvanla uamcd l.oth. indeed tne long l.ne or l.oths was about all tho family had to show bv way of distinction, and so much did they make of ibe long branches of the family tree and the Is lagara of blue blood that had in centuries p.ist coursed through their veins that peo ple of the more recent generations really beu'an to think these lloths were of some account. One evening thero happened to be a party in the little town of M and, beside the great Koth family, the guests numbered among others young Dr. Sba p. He was a popular and rising physician, and considered I y match-making mammas a particu larly dedrable catch. Mrs. Iloth had four marriageable daughters so at the first favorable opportunity she cornered the young doctor and sought to Impress upon him tho Importance of her wonderful family. "Why, doctor." she said, "we all came over in the Mayflower; so 1 know you will not think me bold in asserting that the Koths aro really ono of the first families." "Pardon me." repllel the young physician, "but I have no hesitation' In saying that your family enjoys even a greater distinction." "(J, doctor." gushed the old lady, giving herself a congratulatory hug on her coming triumph. "Indeed, you flatter me." "Not at all," he roplled, "for 1 know you are the first family." "Who tole )ou that, dear doctor?" 'The illble," ho replied reverently, "for it says tho Lord was Roth." Boston Budget The First Elevator. We are now informed that the "lift" or "elevator," the apparatus which take us from the ground floor to the top of the bouse in a few sec onds, is not a modern invention, say a Brussels paper. An ingenious contrivance of a similar nature was constructed iu the middle of the seven teenth century, in Tarls, by a man named Vrlayer, who called his in vention a flying chair. Velayer's lift was not merely a toy; it became very fashionable among rich people on account of its utility. It was simply a chair attached to a rope, which was passed over a pulley or something which did duty for one and had a weight at its other end to counterbal ance the chair and the occupant It continued in fashion until a mishap occurred to tho King's daughter at Versailles. On one occasion the ma chinery failed to work when she was half way up, and there she stuck for three good hours before she could be rescued by her servants, who had to break away the wall to release her. "Flying chairs" were not much used at the court afterwards. Kicked by Proxy. Ambassadors occasionally still hold tightly to sctne privileges which are hardly in keeping with the spirit of the age. Not only envoys themselves, but their servants also, are free from arrest in countries to which they ere accredited, and an assault committed on an cavoy's servant is regarded as an injury to the envoy himself. Thus, In 1370, Baron Turgot, tho French Ambassador at Madrid, wrote indig nantly to bis government: "I have this day received a kick in tho back of my servant."

Incident In the Life of the fsmsiii Old Frenchman. One of the French war-ships which took part In ibe Columbia naval re view at New York was named tha Jeaa Bart. As the ship was one of the first class, and attracted conse quently a Rreat deal of attention, no little curiosity was aroused by its name, which to most people seemed a stranse one. In books of reference people were told that Jean Bart wai a French Admiral who flourished at the close of the seventeenth century, and who, bpginnlnp; life a a tlsher nian. rose tc hih rank, and became a popular hero; but notie of the cur rent biographies contain anr of the curious and amusinjr anecdotes about hiiu which nave come down from the lime when he lived. One of these stories will serve to show what sort of man Jean I'art was. When he had made a brilliant rL-cord as a kind of buccaneer, and hown that he was a much abler sea warrior than any of the officers of noble birth who commanded the navy, Kind Louis made him first a lieuten ant and then the captain of a frigate, in which position he greatly distin guished himself. One day, while several elegant courtiers were waltinjr in the urcat monarch's antechamber for an Inter view w:th the Kinsr, a rather rough looking sailor came In. The courtiers aud attendants were greatly shocked, but the sailor announced that he was Joan Bart, and that tie had come to see the Kin?. One or his men, Keyser, had been condemned to deatii for killing a man in a duel, and he was join to ask the King to pardon him. "uut, Monsieur le Capitaine," said the attendant, ' have you a royal in vitation entitling you to an au dience;'" "A royal invitation?" exclaimed the Captain. "What do 1 want of that The King and I are good friends. N"o need of all that nonsortso 1 ctween us! You just tell him that Jean Bart wants t t talk to him, and that'll be enough:" "But 1 can't announce any one who hasn't an invitation," said the attendant." ' All right," said Jean Bart; "I'll announce myself!" lie bounded toward the door of the King's apartment, very much as if he were starting to run up a main m.ist. The attendant, with pale lace, placed himself before him, ex claiming: "But the Kind's orders! Don't you obey the Kite's orders?" "Oh wesl," said the 6a i lor, "if it iiios to that, I'll wait. 1 won't go ujuinst the King's orders. " lie sat down among the astonished courtiers, took oat a pipe and so-ne tobacco, struck a light with his f.int ani tinder, and began to smoke. The attendant protested that no one smoked in the King's antechamber; but Jean Bart insisted that wheu be wai waiting ha always smoked. "Put him out!" some one whis pered; but no one ventured to do more than whisper it. Soon the King learned what was going on. and ordered Jean Bart In as soon as he should have finished his pipe. The interview, In which Jean Bart con ducted himself with all due respect to the King, ended In the granting of Keyscr's pardon, and Jean Bart camo back into the courtiers' pres ence triumphant. They a'l crowded about the bluff Captain, very obsequious to him now, and completely blocking his exit. He was la great haste to carry the pardon to Keyscr. , 'Oh, tell us, Monsieur Jean Bart." the courtiers began to exclaim, "tell us how you got out of the harbor of Dunkirk, when you were blockaded there by the English fleet!" "You want to know, eh?" asked the Captain, pausing. "Certainly!" they exclaimed, crowning still more closely about him. A!i right' I'll show you Just how 'twas done. Look here; I'm Jean Bart, alnt 1? Well, this room is the harbor of Dunkirk, and vou fellows are the English fleet blockading nic; and now " Whack! bang! whack! Jean Bart laid about him, now administering a cuff, bow a kick, and very forcibly clearing a way toward the "door. As he reached It. he exclaimed: "And that's the way, gentlemen, that 1 got out of Dunkirk harbor when I was blockaded thero by the English fleet! Good-bv!" Ths war-ship that bears the name ot tb!s rodoubtable sea-dog should be a formidable antagonist. pOREMEX IX FACTORIES, MINKS. ETC.. .7 .wtat,.n to "'nro 8xl extra tuiy may send their addresses to E.
