Tweedle, John Ball, Jr., former amateur golf cluimplon of Great Brit ain. has had n fortunate escape from death In South Africa. The news eomca to Tweodle .through friends In Kng land, who write tihat Ball, after a long siege of sickness, joined his command In the Imperial yeomanry at Kroon atodt and in a skirmish with the enemy was struck In the neck by a rifle bullet. Physicians nttended the wounded man, but found the bullet must have been a siient one, for It made only a slight wound In a vital spot. The escai* seems all the more fortu nate when It is remembered that an other English golf champion, Freddie Tait, was killed at Paardcberg In al most tho same way while leading a charge agatinst the Boer riflemen. When Captain Ball-went to South Africa and relinquished his title of champion- Harold Hilton won It—he was present : ed with a black charger by the golfers ]of Liverpool. That ho had a "close shave" Is gathered from the text of ] Tweedie'g letter. When struck by the ] bullet, Captain Ball was hurled from J his horse by the shock. The latter, j however, Is uninjured aud will undoubt i edly return with his master. |i "I have been troubled with indiges | tlon for ten years, have tried many I things and spent much money to no pur t pose until I tried Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. !

QI'AD J ; <> . I < > Copyright, 1801. by C. B. 1-ewla. i < One morning In my bachelor apart ments In London I read the following advertisement In my newspaper: "The undersigned desires the Bervlccs of a competent civil engineer for sev eral days in a rather strange enterprise and promises a most liberal reward. He must be a man who can keep a secret. Address ." I was a competent elvll engineer and Just then out of employment. I wan a man who could keep a secret. I was therefore naturally Intereated In the advertisement. It might possibly be some Job wbleb wonld get me Into trouhle with the law. but If so I had only to deelinc to take hold of It after an Interview. I was Inclined to be lieve that some laud or mine owner wanted a private and secret survey made for his own satisfaction, as Is often the ease. It is sometimes the ease that where two neighbors quarrel one of them builds a house or bam on what he believes to be his line, but which Is found to trespass by a few Inches. I could see a dozen good rea sons why the person should advertise as he did. and I hastened to answer blm and post the letter. He gave his HE ATTACKED MK AND THREW ME TO THE FLOOB. address ns the office of the newspaper, hut after four or five days I received a call from him In person. He gave me his name as James Bennett and his address as London and left me to Infer that he was a man of lelHiire. I was not exactly pleased with Mr. Bennett's personal appearance. He was n tall, durk faced man of troubled countenance. Ills eyes had a furtive look, and he was nervous and 111 ut ease. Had I met him while traveling I should have been Inclined to look upon him with suspicion. He told a straight enough story, howeTer, though a rather queer one. Being left an orphan at the ago of 12 years, he liud been brought up by an uncle living In Hertford coun ty. He had always been given to un derstand that he would be his uncle's heir, and he was sure that a will had been made to that effect, but three years previous to his call on me the uncle had passed away, no will hud been found, and the property had gone to the next of kin. While the uncle was rich, he was also an eccentric. Be ing a single man and living almost alone, he had been almost a hermit. The house he had occupied was a ram bling old structure at best and now that It had been untenanted for several years was In a bad state. What Mr. Bennett had come to believe was that the will was concealed In the old house. He had searched and searched without avail, and he wanted my assistance for a now search. There might be secret closets he had passed over. If I would give him my faithful services for three days, he would pay me £25. If the will was found, he would present me with £2OO more. I was to say nothing of my quest, make my appearance at the old house on a certain (late, and he would assist In the search. I didn't like Bennett'R personal ap pearance and actions, as I have said, but there was nothing out of the way with his story, and I was glad to ac cept his offer. It would be combining romance with business to come upon the hidden will and restore the ousted heir to his own. His caution to me to make my way alone from the nearest station without asking or answering questions might have seemed queer but for the fact that we would both be tres passers while making the search. I had not a single suspicion. I was to arrive by a train which would enable me after a walk of three miles to ar rive at the old house at durk, and he would have provisions ut hand and fix np the best lodgings he could. I was especially warned not to betray my destination to any one I happened to meet en route, and I was to bring no baggage. All these things seemed all right to me at the time. I reached the station by the train named, but found the distance to the house to be five miles Instead of three. This brought about my arrival quite a spell after dark, and Bennett was waiting tor me a quarter of a mile up the road. The first question he asked was If any one had spoken to me, and when 1 assured him that even the people at the station did not know where I was bound for he was somewhat elated. I found he had provisions for a cold lunch, but nothing very appetizing, while we must sleep on the bare boards of the family sitting room. It was while eat ing supper that I noticed a wild, strange look In the man's face and be gan to doubt him. He was restless and distrait and watched me In a furtive way, and it wasn't long before I felt that he had some sinister de signs In luring me to the lonely old house. I put a bold face on the mat ter and demanded an explanation, and at that he attacked me and threw me to the floor. From his savage manner I believed he wus going to murder me outright, but after growling In his throat like a wolf he lifted me up and shoved me Into a closet and bolted the stout door on me. Of course I protest ed, argued and struggled, but without avail. I heard him laughing to him self after he had locked me In, but I did not hear him leave the house. Fifty times during the night I kicked on the door and culled out, but I got no an swer. Next morning, still failing to arouse him, I began to cut at the door with my pocketknife. It was of oak and my task was a hard one. It was almost night when I reached up and slid back the bolt, and as soon as out I found the house deserted and lost no time In getting away myself. I went straight to the police with my story, and who do you think the man proved to be? No more or less than a lunatic who had escaped from an asylum three months before. He was under another name, lived far from the address he had given me, and bis mania was the fear of starvation. Before going to the asylum he had locked up two different people In ten ant less IIOUSCH to see how long they could live without food or drink, and my capture was a third experiment In that line. I bore him no 111 will, of course, but Insisted that he be returned to the asylum, and I believe ho Is living today. In that old house, far from help and a place never visited, he would have wrought my death by inches but for my pocketknife, and months or years might have passed before my corpse was ever found. Where Eloquence la Wnated. It might have been supposed that Addison, the most polished writer of our Augustan age; that Burke, with Ills versatile Intellect and exuberant eloquence: that Mackintosh, with hfc almost encyclopedic learning, or that Jekyll, who had set a hundred dlnnei tables In a roar, would one and all have achieved conspicuous success Ir. the house of commons. But, as Macaulay has pointed out, exactly the reverse was the case. Thoii speeches produced no effect. They wearied and bewildered their audience. And their rising to speak was too often the signal for a general exodus; in fact, as was said of Burke, they acted as a dinner bell. Even Macaulay himself, though on two occasions his speeches changed the fate of a division, was In no sense of the word an orator or even a great debater. Ills voice was too shrill and monotonous, and he poured out a torrent of words with such head long fluency as to confuse his hearers as well as to baflle the quickest of par liamentary reporters. Bulwer Lytton, again, could recite an admirable essay, but his delivery was bad, and the see saw gestures which accompanied his speech were as "grotesque as those of an old fashioned postboy." In our own generation no two men probably have had more highly culti vated minds than John Stuart Mill and Mr. John Morley, but as fur as their parliamentary utterances go their names are "writ In water."—Black wood's. Tit For Tat. The diners at a popular New York restaurant are said to have had the privilege of witnessing an amusing lit tle Incident one evening not long ago. An Anglicized young man seated himself at a table at which there was only one other person, a writer well known throughout the country, but evidently u stranger to the newcomer. The writer Is a man whose dress Is always fastidiously neat, but by no means fashionable In cut or expensive In material. When the young man took his seat, the writer glanced up at him and, seeing that It was no one whom he knew, returned to his study of the bill of fare. The young man languidly placed his monocle in his eye, and, screwing,up his face to keep the glass In position, treated the other guest at the table to a prolonged stare. The stare ended abruptly, however, for suddenly the writer looked up. Quick as thought he seized an empty tumbler and, applying it to his right eye, stared gravely through its bottom ait his vis-a-vis. The monocle was dropped in a very few seconds, and then the tumbler was replaced on the table. But the young Auglonianiuc's face was crimson, while that of the writer remained grave and unmoved, and through the dining room rustled the sound of some thing that suggested repressed merri ment.
