Nearly 50 years ago, in the city of Now York, not far from what is now called the Battery, there stood a square and gloomy looking edifice of stone, then occupied by a rich old dame, Ursula Bond, with her granddaughter, Leonora, who was in her seventeenth year, when, one evening in June as she looked from the door ere she should bar, bolt and lock it for the night, a frank and manly voice called out from a near heap of old boards, where the owner of the voice had been watching lor more than an hour: "Leo!" "Hist!" whispered the maiden. "Is it you, Walter?" "Is the coast all clear?" was the re ply, as a tall and handsome youth of 23 years showed his activity by gaining the side of the maiden by a bound that clear ed fully ten feet. "Why have you come so late?" she asked. "You must let me remain in the house all night. This morning as I was going to my work I passed the open window of an ale shop, and I heard a strange voice mention your name. The voices in the ale shop were speaking in French, which, you know, 1 have learned by night study. Well, I heard enough to tell me that the strangers—there were two of them—intend to pay Dame Ursu la a visit some time between midnight and dawn and for no good purpose. So here 1 am to act as your defender." "But you should have told the police." "Bah for the police!" suid Waller Brandon. "Am I not a mutch for two men who speak bad French?" "But, my dear Walter" — But "Walter had glided into the house and vanished as quickly as one of those rats he had mentioned. Leonora was in great perplexity, yet as she bad boundless faith in the discretion of her lover she barred the door and hastened to her grandmother. "You've been very long in barring the door," said the old woman, as she closed her huge ledger, which was to her what a Bible should have been. "I thought I heard the voice of that impudent young carpenter, Walter Brandon." "iMease, grandmother, let me have a light," said Leonora, who trembled at the thought >f spending that night in darkness. "A light!" screamed Dame Ursula, as tonished at such extravagance; "away with you; you will be asking for some thing more to eat next." That night, as the clock in the hull struck 2, the dame was aroused from a golden dream by a sharp pain in her neck and a loud oath. Springing from her bed, she shrieked for help, and pursued by the assassin rushed into the hall. She gained a dis tant room in time to lock herself in. At this instant her horrors were augmented by the report of a pistol, immediately followed by a shrill scream, aud then by another pistol shot, and ere the echo had died away the assassin burst the old door from its hinges and was in the room. The horror the dame endured as she crouched against the wall, praying that the dark ness might shield her. curdled her blood in her veins. But suddenly the assassin sprung a light. At the sight of this man, instead of crouching in fear or screaming with terror, the dame sprang to her feet, saying: "So it is you, John Bond, who have re turned to murder your wife —coward!" "Hag!" hissed the old man—yet he was much younger than she—"do you think because the devil lets you live so long that you are to live forever? Tell me where you have hidden your hoards, and those of your first husband, whom all men say your poisoned to marry John Bond." "To tell you, I must leave this room," said Ursula, as her corpselike visage grew livid with hate and despair. "Whither, treacherous hag?" "To the cellar, John Bond. Come!" And stepping boldly by him she went on along the ball, lighted by the thief's lantern, which he carried. "If I suspect treachery—if you cry for help—l will shoot you dead, Ursula Bond." Ursula led the way. "Lift that trap, John Bond," said she, pointing to a heavy iron ring imbedded *u tUu U'jor, "Lift it yourself, hug! If your treas ures are there, you have made daily prac tice of going down to them." Ursula grasped the ring with both hands and strove to raise it till, growing impatient, lie grasped it himself and rais a trapdoor about three feet square. As he staggered with the weight Ursula sprang against him, and he fell headlong into the aperture. Let us return to Walter. While Bond entered the house from the front his ac ( complice, a brutal wretch from France, had gained a noiseless entrance from the I rear. Had Walter been at his post this would not have happened, but poor Leo ' norn, horrified at the thought of what I might happen to her lover, had sought him instead of her couch. Not until the sudden flash from the French burglar's lantern streamed across the room did Walter remember bis self imposed office, and as he sprang to his feet the burglar, turning to fly, was shot through the lungs. But as he fell he re turned the shot, and Walter, with the thought that his skull was crushed, fell senseless. Poor Leonora had already ; swooned. When Walter regained his senses, he found his sweetheart weeping and chaf ing his hands, and he was delighted to discover that the robber's bullet had only stunned him. The burglar was dead. Not six months from that night Walter became the husband of the wealthy Leo nora, who was sole heiress of Dame Ur sula's wealth, much of which, in gold, was found secreted about the mausiou. The year following, as Walter was directing the excavations for a new edifice where the old one had stood, his workmen dis covered u lantern and near it a human skeleton.—New York News.

"That story that Senator Towne told on W. J. Bryan the other day reminds uie of oue that Mr. Bryan told in a company where I was a guest," said Representative Dave Mercer. "Short ly after Bryan had arrived in Lincoln and begun the practice of law it got noised about that he was a good speak er, and he was somewhat in demand at meetings in the small places. "One night he was asked to speak at a schoolhouse 15 miles from Lincoln. He drove over. The night was bitterly cold, and Bryan hastened to the big stove when he got into the room. While he was thawing out a little, wizened Irishman came up to him and intro duced himself as the chairman of the meeting. " 'Now, I'll tell you what I want you to do,' said Mr. Bryan to the chair man after they had exchanged greet ings. '1 have driven 15 miles to talk for your people. Of course 1 do not expect any fee, but when you introduce me I wish you would say, "Ladies and gentlemen, you will now be addressed by W. J. Bryan, the rising young at torney of Lincoln." I think the little advertisement I shall get is no more than my due.' "The chairman agreed, and they re hearsed the introduction several times until the chairman was sure he had it letter perfect. Then the meeting was called to order. When Bryan's turn came, the chairman rose, started to speak, stopped, started again and then looked at Bryan In a helpless sort of way. '(lo on,' whispered Bryan. "The chairman took a long breath and blurted, 'Ladles and gentlemen. Misthur O'Brien will shpake.' "—Cleve land World. The Trooper and General Boiler. We are asked by one of our corre spondents, a trooper in Strathconu's horse, to publish the following account of an amusing incident which occurred on the occasion of the departure of (General fuller last year from Cape Town by the mail steamer. As the general was passing from the wharf to the ship there was standing at the oth "WR'LL MAKE THINGS HOWL." or end of the gangway, smoking a ci gar. a tall trooper of Strathcona's horse. As the general stepped on board the trooper touched his big cowboy hat and shouted, "Waal, gcodby, general." The general looked up and smiled and. at the same time recognizing the uni form, said, "Oh, Strathcona's horse." The trooper said, "You bet." The gen eral put out his hand, shook hands with the trooper and aaid, "I hope to see your regiment in England." To which the man replied, "I guess we'li get there all right, and tell the queen we're coming, and we'll make thing's howl too." Our correspondent adds: "This shows what a tine general he is; not proud and a 'white' man every inch of him. We have been with him since we came out here and, like all his troops, would follow him anywhere."— London Globe. Huden-I'onpll Wan Frlfchtenod. A Cape correspondent at Pretoria says that when Baden-Powell was on the point of embarking upon the south bound train a plump, pleasant looking little woman tapped him on the arm. "Good morning, sir," she said. "Are you not General Baden-Powell? 1 am Mrs. Snrel Eloff." Baden-Powell looked a little scared. "You know you took my husband prisoner at Mafeklng." "Oh, yes," said Baden-Powell, still nervous. "You see, he came and tried to kill us, so we took him prisoner." "Oh, I know," said Mrs. Eloff, accept ing the apology, and then after some conversation they parted, Baden-Pow ell saying as he entered the train: "Your husband was a very brave man. I don't think he bore me any malice, and I hope you don't." And the cheery little person, who, by the way, was by no means in anything approaching mourning, replied brightly: "No; of course not. You were very kind to him." Pertampi, In the collecting o( perfumes two processes arc employed.
