DOS. HE hour grew late, and Mr.
¥ 3rand paced his chamber
oS T @ in moody silence. The train
1. had come in, bu this mes-
0 senger had not returned,
and the merchant was troubled; trou:
bied by a vague sort of doult, which
haunted him in spite of his faith in
Lake. A merry, sober old trader of
long experience Lad. said that Lake
was too young to fill the important po-
sition which he "held, but Mr. Brand
bad never found his trust in Tom mis-
placed.
Having heard tumors concerning a
house with which he had extensive
dealings, the merchant had despatched
Lake to London, telling him to make
inquiries, and-in any case, to get the
partners of the firm in question to set-
tle their account.
So Lake had gone from Liverpool to
Tondon. The time appointed for his
return passed, and still he did not
come.
A lady entered, and stole to the mer-
echant’s side; her cwn sweet face was
anxious, and there was 2 tremor in the
music of her voice as she said:
“Do you think he will be here to-
wniight, dear papa?”
“I hope s0, Mary,
late.”
“Is there no other train?”
“Only the night express, and that
does not stop, except at the central sta-
tions.”
“Perhaps he will come,
would not mind coming ten
if he had to walk.”
“He should not have missed the
train,” said Mr. Brand, sternly; “punc-
tuality is am imperative duty with
men of business.”
“But, papa, something may have oc-
curred to d-tain him.”
“Nothing should detain a man who
has given his word.”
The fair pleader was silenced—her
father was angry, and knowing his
strictness of principle and how invet-
erate was his dislike to any breach of
discipline or duty, she did not even
venture to speak again.
The time dragged slowly on; Mr.
Brank continued his restless walk, and
Mary sat subdued and quiet, watching
him. She saw that he was listening
as the night express went whirling
by, and from the depths of her heart
there went a prayer that Lake would
eome safely home. The girl loved him,
would have staked her life on his truth,
and knew that he was not beyond his
time through any weakness or wrong.
Two slow, weary hours passed. Mr.
Brand was reading the commercial
news; but for the first time in his life
it did not interest him; he was think-
ing of the young clerk and the heavy
sum of money that would be in his
possession should the London firm have
paid him. And Mary, reading her
father’s thoughts, felt pained and
chilled by the slur cast on her lover's
bonesty by his suspicions—her every
thought was a denial to his doubts,
and as the rapid clatter of a horse's
feet rang out, she ran to the window.
“Look!” she said, dashing the cur-
tains aside with an eager hand; “look,
look, papa, I said he would come—I
knew lhe would.”
The merchant's stern face relaxed
with a smile of pleasure: he was not
emotional or demonstrative, but hiss
daughter's gladness pleased him.
There were a few moments of ex-
pectancy, and then Tom Lake came in.
He went straight to Mr. Brand, only
noticing with a bow the lovely face
whose glance thrilled his soul.
“They have paid,” he said quietly,
as he placed a thick pocketbeok in the
merchant’s hand, “but I think we were
only just in time.”
“Indeed!”
“There was a consultation at the
banker's before I could get the cash
for the check.”
“Do you think they will break?”
“Hopelessly. They have given me
an immense order, but it would not
be wise to forward the gcods.”
“You did not hint that we had the
slightest fear?’
but it is very

“It would have done me serious in-

“And yet,” said Tom gravely, ‘this
morning the odds were considerably |
against its ever reaching you.”
“How?’
Tom took two. chairs and placed them |
gide by side near the fire, led Mary to
one, and himself in the other.
He had duty as the mer:
chant’s clerk, ¢

{ Mary bent forward to listen—Tom
rumah her hand in his own. Mr.
Brand sat opposite them, interested by
the speaker's manner as he began:
“When I got the cheque I had -an
idea that all might not be well. so to
make sure I presented it to the bank-
er’'s. There was, as I told you, a con-
sultation before they cashed. and while
the consultation was going forward, 1
noticed a stranger looking at me in-
tently. I knew the man in my younger
and. wilder days.. I had met him often
at the race course,” in billiard rooms,
and in other places more or less re-
spectable. Now be was changing a
cheque for some-petty amount, and was
evidently astonished by the immensity
of the order I had presented. I left
the bank with my pocketbook full of
notes, and I found that I had lost the
train. The next would be the night
express, so I strolled into a billiard
room. A man is just as safe with a
fortune in his pocket as if penniless,
so that he is wise enough to hold his
tongue. There was some clever ‘play
going on, and I stood watching ‘the
players till some one challenged me
to have a game. If I have one special
vanity, it is my science with the cue;
I accepted, and as I did so a strange
feeling, which had been growing upon
me, took a sudden turn which startled
me.
“My challenger was the man whom
I had noticed at the banker's. There
was nothing strange in the fact of his
being in the room, one of his favorite
resorts, but I was possessed by the
vague shadow of a single idea. I had
read somewhere of a man being fol-
lowed and plundered in a train, and
somehow I associated the story with
the man before me. It was the first
time I had ever paid him any particular
attention, but I gave him full observa-
tion now. The more I looked at him
the less I liked him. He was hand-
some, gentlemanly, with a fair form
and elegant figure, full of suppleness
and strength. His manner was singu-
larly unassuming, his face frank and
genial, but by looking closely at him
you could see something sinister-look-
ing in the depth and softness of his
eyes.
“I never liked a stranger to be affa-
ble and prepossessing, and my friend
was the very pink of affiability and
grace.
“We played for an hour with alter-
nating success; he was an amusing
comraanion, well informed, and had
traveled, but I still having some time
to spare, went to see a friend in the
Temple.
“When, at the expiration of some
thirty or forty minutes, I emerged into
Fleet street. almost the first person on
whom my gaze fell was my late an-
tagonist at billiards.
“I thought there was something more
than a mere coincidence in this second |
meeting since we stood together at the |
banker's. He was in a cigar shop op-
posite.
“Not a hundred yards from the Tem-
ple gate stood a man whom I recog-
nized with a very welcome feeling. It
was George Vixen, the detective.
“He was fashionab!y dressed, and
looked an aristocrat of the first water.
I went up and greeted him as I should

“He shook hands in the most natural

“I told him my suspici told him
of the sum in my possession, and of
the journey I had to perform by rail.
“I saw that, watching through the
glass of the door, he was taking a men-
tal photograph of two men.
“ ‘They mean business,” said Vixen,
quietly, ‘but I shall be with you. We
must part at the door, or they will see
we have scented the game.’
**tAnd you,’ 1 said, ‘how will you
act?

were tracking me, though I lost

by my side, and we were off.
“The nan whose face I had not Seen
turned toward me.
i “I could scarcely repress an excla-
| mation. There was no niistaking that
| frank, genial countenance, nor the lurk
ling devil in those eyes, whose softness
was so sinister.
“He had met me then at last! Vixep
liad broken his promise! and I was left
to travel that perilous journey alone
with the man who had followed me so
skilfully—another who might be his
| confederate, and an old gentleman
| who, after grumbling out his indigna.
[ tion against all railway servants and
| locomotive traveling in genoral. was
tast asleep in the corner.
“That the intentions of my billiard
player were bad was manifest by. the
fact of his having assumed a false
mustache and beard. They added te
the beauty of his face, but left to his
eves that sleepy, cruel glitter that is
characteristic of the Asiatic.
“IIe spoke to me, remarked the
oddity of our being traveling com-
panions, and grew pleasantly familiar
I answered him, not -wishing to ap-
pear churlish or afraid, knowing that
I could trust something to my own
strength should the worst come.
“We had made the last stoppage, and
were rolling swiftly through the gloom,
when, among other topics, our conver-
sation touched on jewelry; he drew a
showy ring from his finger, telling me
it was a curious piece of workmanship,
having ‘a“secret spring, which he said
1 could not discover.
“I took it, searching in vain for a
spring, then returning it to him. It
dropped and rolled under my feet.
“I stooped to pick :t up, and so did
he. but in that moment, while my head
was, down, he had me tightly by the
throat, and threw me to the carriage
floor.
“His confederate was upon me in an
instant. I could searcely breathe, and
could not struggle, for a heavy knee
was upon my chest, and two strong,
brutal hands were clutching the life
from my throat.
“Though the horror of that situation
did not last a minute, it seemed an
eternity to me. 1 felt the rufiian’s
hands searching for the pocketbook,
and I strained desperately for a chance
of resistance.
“Their work was nearly done,
Cramped in that small space, IT was
powerless, and the veins in my throat
and head were swelling like sinuous
bars, when the old gentleman in the
corner awoke and came to my assist-
ance.
“I heard a low, quiet whirr of some
weapon in its descent, and my first as.
sailant reeled from me, stunned. The
old gentleman, with a strength and
rapidity of action wonderful to see in
a person of his age. seized the scoun-
drel, lifted him away and dashed him
down on a seat.
“There was a brief struggle, and
then I heard a sharp click—scoundre!
the second had a paid of handcuffs on
his wrists.
“ ‘They were more prompt than 1
expected,” said the old gentleman, re-
moving his woolen comforter, with
which he fastened my first assailant’s
hands behind him, ‘and a railway car-
riage does not afford much scope for
a struggle.’
“The pocketbook was safe. The ruf-
fians were securely bound, and the old
gentleman who, without his spectacles
and mufliing, stood out in pleasant re-
lief as the detective, kept guard over
them.
. “At the station they were handed
over into the custody of the police. I
was all right by that time. Vixen rode
with me as, far as the hotel nearest
here, and to-morrow he will call to
see if I am any the worse for my ride
by express.”
The contents of the pocketbook were
Mary's bridal dowry.
The detective speaks of the senior
partner in the firm of Brand & Lake
as the most hospitable and generous
man he ever met in the course of his
professional career.
Lake was quite cured of his love for
billiard playing. He had too narrow
an escape, and he did not forget the
lesson.— Waverley Magazine.
Wild Horses on Sable Island.
Sable Island, which lies about eighty
miles to the eastward of Nova Scotia,
consists of an accumulation of loose
sand, forming a pair of ridges, united
at the two ends and inclosing a shal-
low lake; tracts of grass are to be met
with in places, as well as pools of fresh
water. The droves of wild horses, or
ponies, and herds of seals appear to
be the chief mammalian inhabitants of
the island. * It is generally supposed
that the original stock was landed
from a Spanish wreck early in the six-
teenth century, although some writers
make the introduction much later.
Twenty-five years ago the number of
ponies was estimated at five hundred;
at the present day there are less than
two hundred, divided into five troops.
Not more than two-thirds of these are
pure bred, thie remainder being the off.

EAT BEAVER MEAT.
That's the Advice of Chief Bear, of

Newel Bear, who: was chief of the
old Tobique Indian tribe 65 years ago,

health until he reached the age of 95
when he began to lose flesh and
strength. Thereupon he went into the
woods and remained for some months
subsisting entirely upon beaver meat
with the result, as he claims, that his
strength was fully restored. Beavel
meat, he declares, will cure any of thg
ills that flesh is heir to, if taken in
time and in sufficient quantity.

This Woman Had Nerve.
Hurrying across Broadway at Cham-
bers street at noon recently, a young
woman tripped and fell directly in
front of a team of big draft horses.
There was a chorus of screams and
yells from the crowd on both sides of
the crossing, but quick as a wink the
young woman rolled herself from be-
neath the bobbing heads of the moving
horses: and regained her feet with the
spring of a trained athlete. She darted
to the walk and then—she cried! Other
women said nice things to her and
when she had put her hat on straight
she took “Big Dinny’s” arm and got
to the other side and “Dinny” said:
“A man would have been kilt if he
was in her place.”—New Ycrk World.
Mourning for Enemies.
The expressions of sorrow saown by
the Japanese for the death of the Rus-
sian Admiral Makaroff prove that the
people of Japan are far in advance of
the so-called Christian nations in mag-
nanimity and human charity. Con-
trast a public procession in Nageya
bearing 1000 lanterns’in token of
mourning for the dead preceded by
banners inscribed: “We sorrow for
the brave Russian Makaroff,” with the
rejoicing of the Israelites over the
death of Goliath of Gath, or imagine
what the people of the northern states
would have done if Jefferson Davis had
been killed while riding over the
battlefield at Bull Run.
The Tone of Machinery.
Engineers judge of the condition of
their machinery by the tome it gives
out while running. Every engine,
whether stationary or locomotive, has
a particular tone of its own. The
engineer becomes accustomed to that,
and any departure from it at once ex-
cites a suspicion that all is not right.
The engineer may not know what is
the matter. He may have no ear for
music, but the change in the tone of
the machine will be instantly recog-
nized and will start him on an im-
mediate investigation.
THE SECRET OF YOUTH
De Soto looked for the secret of
youth in a spring of ‘gushing, life-giv-
ing waters, which he was sure he
would find in the New World. Alchem-
ists and sages (thousands of them),
have spent their lives in quest for it.
but it is only found by those happy
- people who can digest and assimilate
the right food which keeps the phys-
ical body perfect that peace and cOm-
fort are the gure results.
A remarkable man of 94 says: “For
many long years I suffered more or less
with chronic costiveness and painful
indigestion. This condition made life
a great burden to me, as you may well
imagine. 5
‘Two years ago-I began to use
Grape-Nuts as food, and am thankful
that I did. It has been a blessing to
me in every way. I first noticed that
it had restored my digestion. This was
a great gain, but was nothing to com-
pare in importance with the fact that
in a short time my bowels were re-
stored to free and normal action.
“The cure seemed to be complete; for
two years I have had none of the old
trouble. I use the Grape-Nuts food
every morning for breakfast and fre-
quently eat nothing else. The use has
made me comfortable and happy, and
although I will be 94 years old next
fall, I have become strong and supple
again, erect in figure and ean walk
with anybody and enjoy it.” Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich. “There's a reason.”
