At Itindout, N. Y., recently, Sam

cppor end of the old Frozier clear
ing, in Senbury Sc-ttliuent, and
when he worst to see if lie had caught
anything, he found the trap was gone,
notwithstanding it had been secured
by a chnin and a heavy staple driven
into a log alongside.
Tiio chain bad bean broken, and
there was ft rather plain trail iu the

lay his fox, dead, yet holding fast by
the throat a dead eaglo.
The eagle, in flying over the woods,
had st-en the entr ipped fox and had
swooped down upon it, but the fox,
although crippled by the trap, had
made a good fight, and had killed
his Assailant while yielding up his
own life.

discomfort and vexation the phrase
awakens in my mind! For at that fes
tive season I, once npon a time, found
myself in a very tight place indeed. My
difficulties were caused not by duns or
debts. Let tbo reader judge whether or
not my misfortunes were of my own
making.
I nm a lawyer, and at tho time of
which I write briefs were neither plen
tiful nor profitable. The work I did wns
principally dcviliiisr, and the success
ful man for whom I deviled caused me
many a panx of envy; he was so ag
gressively prosperous and overworked
and patronizing. Fortunately I was not
quite without private mean". When I
compared, in calm moments, my lot
with ins, I was able to Fee just where I
hail the pull over him. I was yonng; he

good looking enough for comfort. To
look in tho glass when I hhaved gave
me no unpleasant feeling, rnther tho re
verse. Towsher was short and squat of
figure, n-d of f.T'O aud going bald at
top. His features were blunt ami pie
beian, mine distini t, and, I flatter niv-
srl f, aristocrat le. Towsher was married.
and his wife was, like himself, middlo
nged aud jx rsonally not well favored.
I was a baehe lor of the temporary and
voluntary, not of tho confirmed or of
the oft rejected, type, for I was in love,
and as good as engaged to a lovely.
swet-t tempered Scotch lassie, whtise
pedigree was long, if her "tocher" was
Email.
We were just at tlicchamiingest time
of rnnrtship. There waa no formal en
gagement lietween us, but I bad given
Annie to understand that she was the
one girl iu the world for me, anal she
had somehow conveyed to me that when
the time came when I should lie able to
tell her so I should not be refused.
I was going to upend Christmas with
Annie's parents, when I got myself iu
the terrible fix I am about to narrate.
JWy destination was Argyllshire. As
I sjH'd northward on the mci.iorablc
Christmas eve I felt no presentiment of
the coming catastrophe. I may briefly
say that I was untroubled even by jeal
ous qualms regarding Towsher's irri
tating prosixrify.
I left Knston by the mail train for
Glasgow. Although it was Christmas
eve, the carriage wsis not overcrowded,
and I managed to secure a corner seat
iu a first class compartment. My lug
gage consisted of a Gladstone bag and a
bundle t.f wraps. Tho weather was lat
terly colli, threatening snow, bat I
made myself tolerably Fung, and by the
time we got to Derby snoozed off bliss
fully. I was dreaming of Annie's blue
eyes when, some hours later, I was
awakened by the opening of the carriage
door anil a freezing inrush of cold air.
A male passenger, well muffled in a
heavy great coat, wearing a deer stalker
hat well tied down over his ears, bun
dled in with his lnggago and settled
himself in the opposite corner farther
from me. Cntil then I had hail the
compartment to myself. I turned round
drowsily and in rather a' bad temper,
for my dream had Icen a pleasant one,
and I rather objected to the thread of
it leing broken.
My fellow traveler s coat was Hccked
with snow, and when the train glided
out of the station I looked out of the
window near me and saw that great
white flakes slanted past tho pane,
driven by a furious wind. Tho fields
and stone walls were deep iu snow.
"Confound itall!" I mnttered to my-
Belf. The anathema included my fellow
traveler, who serenely ensconced him
self in his corner among his rugs and
apparently fell asleep. It seemed as if
he had filched from me the comfortablo
nap I hud lecii enjoying, for from tho
moment of his intrusion sleep forsook
me utterly. So I fell to watching him
with a mixture of curiosity and dislike.
Lie was young, about my own age, I
thought, with good features, and clean
shaven save for a slight whisker. On
tho floor of the carriage, close at his
feet, he had deposited a Gladstone bag
of about the same dimensions as my
own.
"Confound him! Why didn't he get
into another carriage?" I thought as I
noted these details. His placid slumlier
was intensely irritating to me. I felt in
jured because he was young nud well
favored, becanso ho slept whilo I was
sleepless, becauso he had a Gladstone
bag that was twin brother to mine, lc
eauso a few (lakes of snow had insinu
ated themselves under the carriago win
dow. I felt a restless rtesiro to chnck
my fellow traveler and his tiresome lug
gage out of my compartment.
My fellow traveler seemed serenely
oblivious of all tho discomforts I was
ill temperedly enduring. He slept
soundly, as only very tired men sleep.
As I for the third tiino mentally con
founded him tho carriago jolted up on
one side, ami the whole train was sud
denly arrested. The whistle sounded iu
a shriek as if tbo engine yelled in an-
Ser at its defeat in the battie it had been
ghting with the wind and snow. I
heard a woman shriek an echo in the
next carriage aud voices sbontini (in
quiries. The line was blocked, and we were
stuck fast in a gigantic drift.
Here was a cheerful outlook! I dash
ed down the window and put my head
out. As far as I could see was a vast
field of snow. The air was alive with
swiftly descending flakes. Not a house
was in sight. " The light from the car
riage windows alone illuminated the
all surrounding whiteness. The blast
howled like a very bad tempered evil
spirit. It was a scene of unmitigated
desolation.
No chanco of reaching Glasgow at
tho appointed time! And very little
chance of eating my Christmas dinner
in Argyleshire.
"Surely we are not in Glasgow yet?"
said a voice at my elbow.
I turned and confronted my fellow
traveler. Yes, I was right; the brute
had gray eyes. My fancy bad not run
away with me. The fellow bad tbe im
pertinence to resemble me to a certain
extent, but, I may add that he rather
than I had reason to be flattered by the j
resemblance.
"At Glasgow, " I retorted irritably.
"No sncb luck; we are snowed np some
where in the wilds of Dumfriesshire, I
don't exactly know where. Bnt nobody
IMM
in this train Is likely to set eyes on
Glasgow for boors. "
"Snowed np good gracious me, yon
don't say sol" rejoined tbe fellow brisk
ly. "That won't suit my book. "
"Nor mine either," I granted. "I
don't suppose any one in this train wants
j to spend Christmas in a snowed np rail
way carriage. I n hungry already, " I
added, with a retrospective thought of
the hasty dinner I had made six or sev
en hours ago and a prospective longing
for the splendid breakfast I had intend
ed to make at Greenock. There was not
even a biscuit or a sandwich among
my traps.
"Dear me, how unfortunate!" re
marked the other placidly. "Well, I
mean to get out of this anyhow, " he
added, with sudden resolve.- He seized
tbo Gladstone bag lying nearest him
and bundled out of the carriage as sud
denly as he had entered it and vanish
ed into the whirling whiteness outside.
I heaved a sigh of relief.
The man must be made to face such
a storm, but that was his affair, not
mine, and I saw him depart without
the smallest regret
Well, not unduly to lengthen my
story, the npshot of this provoking in
cident was that for 1 3 mortal hours we
were shut up in the imbedded train.
The stoker and one of the guards made
their way with infinite difficulty to tho
nearest signal man's hut, only to find
that the telegraph lines up and down
were snapped by the furious wind.
Somo of the passengers had tea and wino
packed in their luggage, and one Christ
mas hamper was ransacked and the con
tents cooked on a fire kindled on the
snow. Bnt what was one fat turkey
and a ham among so many? Of course
we fed the ladies and children first, and
we did our best to keep them warm
with all the rugs we could muster.
But wo spent a wretched Christmas
day. The snow still fell at intervals.
Fortunately the wind dropped late in
the afternoon. We had made out that
we were 10 miles from the village of
Whitecross and some 20 miles from tho
nearest station.
The thought of spending another
night penned up in that comfortless
compartment filled us with dismay. Tho
rumor of our plight had reached White
cross, for about 4 o'clock in the after
noon a couple of stalwart lads, with a
rough pony laden with provisions, ap
peared upon the scene. I asked if there
was any decent accommodation to be
had in the village, and receiving an
affirmative answer negotiated with the
relieving party for the transport of my
belongings thither. The snow reached
our knees, but with the pleasant pros
pect before me of sleeping in a bed and
getting something decent to oat I trudg
ed, or rather waded, on in the wake of
the lads. My Gladstone bag and bundle
of rags were hoisted on the pony's back.
After three or four hours' walking we
got to Whitecross, aud my guides de
posited me at the door of a very small
village public house, where they told
mo I could put up for the night. My
clothes were soaked through with snow,
but the contents of my Gladstone would
afford me a change of attire, and my
depressed spirits rose as I entered tho
Rose and Crown.
It was a queer looking little place,
but thosigbtof a blazing fire in the par
lor behind tho bar made me forget tho
bare, sanded floor and tho smell of

stale tobacco aud beer that pervaded the
air. Iu a trice I found myself installed
in thu one gin st chamber the house
boasted. A fire wa kindled in the high
old fashioned grate. Having ordered a
meal to be cooked, I unstrapped my
Gladstone and dragged out the first
garment that came to hand a rough
short coat of Irish frieze. That coat
was certainly not built by my excellent
tailor. I stared at it m drill surprise.
Aud then it was suddenly borno on me
that neither tho coat nor the Gladstone
was mine. That wretched fellow who
had traveled with me from Carlisle had
made off with my property and left me
In pos session of a portion of his beg
garly wardrobe. I flung tho frieze coat
away with an exclamation of disgust
and surveyed tho various items folded
np in the Gladstone with something of
the distaste I had felt for their owner.
But I was wet to the skin and shiver
ing like a spaniel. It was not a time to
stand cn ceremony. In five minutes I
had donned a complete suit from the
Gladstone bag of my unknown fellow
passenger, including the despised frieze
coat. Then I went down stairs and ate
a very fair supper of fried bam and
rggs, followed by a gooil jorum of ex
rellcut hot whisky toddy.
Greatly refreshed by these consola
tions, I returned to my chamber. The
experiences of tho past four and twen
ty hours had tired me out, and I was
far too sleepy to closely examino the bag
from which I had taken the warm and
dry clothes I had on. As I turned into
bed I wondered dreamily if my unknown
benefactor was at that moment taking
bis ease in my garments. My unreason
ing dislike of him had abated, now that
he no longer vexed me with his pres
ence and obtruded on my notice the un
welcome fact that iu creating him na
ture bad chosen to infringe my copy
right by duplicating my features and
figure
My sleep that night was the sleep of
a wornout man. I did not wake until a
pale thread of winter sunshine filtered
in at the casement window. Then, wltb
a start, I remembered the circumstances
which had brought me thither. I sprang
quickly from my bed. I looked about
for my clothes and then saw that the
night beforo I had omitted to send them
to the kitchen to be dried and brushed.
There they were thrown down anyhow
on a chair. I could not possibly put
them on, for they were still reeking
with damp.
There was nothing for it but to travel
on to Glasgow in the clothes I bad taken
from the Gladstone bag. My own gar
ments could be properly dried and sent
on to me at Tighnabruaich.
I would then take steps to recover my
bag and return that of my fellow trav
eler. Meanwhile, I argued, exchaugo
was no robbery, and since he had made
a stupid mistake in decamping with my
wardrobe there was no reason why I
shouldn't temporarily appropriate his.
After breakfast I went out into the
village to reconnoiter. The snow was
deep, but hard and crisp with frost The
wind had fallen, and the sky was blue
and cloudless. On inquiry I learned that
it would be possible to drive by road to
a station on tho line beyond tbe point
where our unlucky train was imbedded

transmission of my property, hired a
conveyance and drove off in the direc
tion of the nearest railway station. I
arrived there in due course, and when
I was seated in a compartment labeled
Glasgow I congratulated myself that my
disagreeable adventure was over. Alas,
it was only in its first stage.
The train drew up in the Glasgow
station. I gathered np my traps and
stepped out of the carriage. But I had
not got many paces before an individ
ual of the easily recognized private de
tective type accosted me. Behind him
was a colleague whose movements were
accompanied by an ominons clink of
metal.
"James Penneqnicke, I arrest you in
the queen's name, " said the first man,
giving me at the same time a light tap
on tho shoulder.
I stared at him and drew myself up
to my full height
"My name is Graham Angus Gra
ham of the Inner Temple," I said.
"You havo made a mistake, my man. "
The fellow smiled in the most aggra
vatingly superior manner.
"No mistake; you'ro James Penne
qnicke fast enough. It's not tho Grrt
time wo have met Anyway I'll trouble
you to go with mo to the station. You'll
go quietly, ehr"
"I'm hanged if I will," I retorted
angrily. "I'vo au appointment to keep
and don't mean to go fooling around
at police stations. There's my card"
I fumbled in my pocket for my card
case "and my luggage to provo my
identity."
"Ah, I ve heard of that dodge; paste
board is cheap, and so is printing. As
for your luggage here you, Campbell,
just call a cab, will you, and we'll have
a look at that down at the station.
Now, will you come quietly, or must
wo put the bracelets on you?"
Wroth though I was, I was forced to
comply. A cab was bailed; I, the two
detectives, took our seats inside, and
that unlucky Gladstone bag was depos
ited on the front seat.
"If you have arrested mo for being
in possession of that," I said, indicat
ing tho bag contemptuously, "I can
easily givo you an explanation that
must secure my rcleaso from custody.
The bag is not mine. "
"The contents are not, anyway, re
torted the detective meaningly.
"What are yon hinting at? No, of
course tho contents aren't mine. They
belong to a person who traveled with
me the night before last. "
"Oh, indeed. It's my dnty to warn
you that anything you say will bo used
in evidence against you, " answered the
other in his stiffest Jack-in-office man
ner. Seeing the fellow was hopelessly ob
tuse, I resolved to hold my tongue un
til we got to the station. There I should
soon be able to set matters right Still
it was annoying that I should be found
in possession of property that was not
mine. I racked my brain in trying to
remember if the clothes I had on or
those in the Gladstone had on them any
name or mark to identify their rightful
owner. Bnt 1 he effort was made in vain.
Indeed I probably had not noticed
whether the clothes were marked or not,
for I had been too preoccupied and too
fatigued to think of the matter.
At the station, in presence of the in
spector, I made my statement, explain
ing how the Gladstono bag had come
into my possession. I could see that not
a word of it was believed. Then a mi
nute discription of James Penneqnicke
was read out and with it my own per
sonal appearance, I regret to say, exact
ly tallied. Another piece of damnatory
evidence was that tho frieze coat I wore
was marked inside one of the sleeves
with the initials J. P.
Worst of all, the Gladstone bag was
turned out in my presence, and other ar
ticles of attire were discovered to be
marked with tbe same letters, and to
my utmost astonishment and dismay tho
bag itself was ripped open and found to
have a false bottom. In it was concealed
a mass of jewels, brooches, necklaces,
rings sparkling with diamonds, and oth
er precious stones. At sight of this
treasure the detective who had arrested
me, his colleague Campbell and the in
spector showed a profane glee.
"Better own the truth, " said they
all. "You are James- Pennequicke and
on tbe night of Dtc 24 you abstracted
these from Northskle HalL near Car
lisle. "
I asseverated say innocence, declaring
that until that moment I was even ig
norant that tbe jewels were in the bag.
"Tho fellow who went off with my
Gladstone bag may have stolen the
stuff, " I said indignantly, "bnt I know
nothing of it My name is Angus Gra
ham, and I never heard Penneqnicke 's
name until this morning. "
"So yon say," remarked the defect
ive drily, "but your description fits to
a T. You're wearing clothes that be
long to Penneqnicke. and yon are found
to bo in possession of stolen goods. You
will be detained in custody until in
quiries can be made."
And in this enlightened country I, an
innocent and peaceable citizen, was
marched off and consigned to a firelcss
cell, there to meditate on the cuasedness
of things in general and my own ill
fortune in particular.
Can it be wondered at that I have ev
er since disliked Christmas and its cant .
phrases of hilarity and mutual good
will?
In the solitude of my cell I meditated
on the most advisable course of action
I could adopt under the circumstances.
I asked for and obtained writing ma
terials aud wrote several letters one
to Annie at Tighnobruaich. She was
an only daughter and motherless, so to
her as my hostess that should have been
was addressed an apology for my non
appearance. The second letter was to
Mr. Macpherson, Annie's father, an
old friend of my father's. To him I
wrote a detailed account of my misad
venture and begged him to recommend
me a respectable solicitor in Glasgow.
A third letter was to a "pal" of mine
at the Inner Temple, whom I entreated
to come and identify me with as little
delay a possible.
That done, I felt easier iu my mind,
and when night came, in spite of the
discomfort of my surroundings, I was
able to snatch a few hours' sleep.
My appearance at the police court
next morning wrs the next incident in
my tale of woe. There had bees no an
swer to either of the letters I had sent
to Tighnabrnaioh, and to my disgust my
story did not obtain tho credence in
court I had counted on. I was remand
ed for a week that further inquiries
might be made.
Sullen and dispirited, I returned to
my ceiL Ijate that evening Mr. Mac
pherson and a friend of his, one Mao
gowan, a big limbed Scotchman, prac
ticing as a solicitor in Glasgow, appear
ed on the scene. To them I recounted
my adventure. Mr. Macpherson seemed
to be immensely tickled thereat and
laughed until the tears came into his
eyes at the sight I presented dressed in
the bnrglar's frieze coat It he had not
been Annie's father, I should have ex
pressed the indignation I felt But I
pnt a check on myself and reminded
him that my situation for the coming
week would be somewhat unpleasant
"Tut, my lad! Macgowan and I will
see to that," he replied. "I'll prove
that you are Angus Graham, and yon
shall bring an action for damages
against Campbell if yon like. As for
the jewels, mark my words if they
don't win you a friend worth having. "
"What do you mean?" I asked sharply-
"Why, don't you know who lives
at Northsido Hall, Carlisle?"
I muttered a surly negative.
"Why, old Lady Meres well, my late
wife's aunt and Annie's godmother.
She's wealthy, she's eccentric, and she's
as fond of her jewels as she is of her
life. Mark my words if she doesn't in
demnify you for tho disagreeable Chris
mas yon have spent and icward you for
raving her jewels. I shall write to her
by tonight's post and tell her what you
fold me."
When I did obtain my liberty and nt
last reached Tighnabruaich, I was able
to think philosophically of my misad
venture. My unknown double, James
Peunequicke, got safely to America.
Presumably lie took my Gladstone bag
with him. I own I should have liked to
see his face when he opened it.
' As for the jewels, I 6e them when
ever my wifo goes to a big reception or
ball. For six months later old Lady
Mereswell departed this life, and sho
bequeathed her jewels to Annio and a
legacy of f 20,000 to me "as a mark of
her sincere gratitude. "
Respect for a Teacher.
In memory of onr teacher. A. Y.
McAfee, whose faithful work and
kind couns-1 to us, make it difficult
for us to feel that he is dead.
His presence seems to linger with
us; we can htar bis well remembered
voice and seem lost in strange for
getfulness as we look for him, bnt
his chair is vacant forever; his work
is done and "in yonder church yard
he lies we know pale and cold and
white as enow," resting from his la
bors and awaiting the final calling
together of the sons of men.
Kegarding it as eminently fitting,
that we, the pnpila of Church Hill
school, the last of the many schools
he taught, should publicly express
our sentiments, therefore be it
krtolvtd. That in his death his
family has lost a devoted husband
and kind father; Juniata county one
of its best citizens and we one of our
most faithful teachers.
Rtsolved, That while we deeply
feel our loss, we bow iu humble sub
mission to the Divine will, knowing
that "He doeth all things well."
Resolved, That we tender the fam
ily of our deceased teacher our
heartfelt sympathies and point them
for oonsolation to Him, who shall
"wipe all tears from their eyes."
Resolved, That his example is
worthy of imitation in his regular at
tendance upon Divine worship, his
kind and social ways, bis generous
