FQhGIVENESS.
I Bat In the evening cool
Of the heat baked city street
Musing and -watching a little pair
Who played on the -vralk at my feet.
A boy, the elder, of strong, rough mold;
. His sister, a blossom sweet.
Khon just in the midst of their play
Came an angry cry and a blovr
That bruised the cheek of the little maid
And brought from my lips quick, sharp re-
prooi
On the lad who had acted so.
And he stood by, sullen and hard.
While the maid soon dried her tear.
Ho looked at her with an angry eye.
She timidly drew near.
"Don't be cross, .Tohnny" (a little sob).
"Lot mo tardive 'oo, dcarl"
And the cloud is passed and gone,
And again in their plav they meet.
And the strong, rough boy wears a kinder
mien.
And brighter the maiden sweet.
While a whisper has come from the heart
of God
To a man, a man on the street.

A MANTEAP CAB.
"Lost!"
I "was staudiiig in a room of a wVfit
end (Loudon) gambling den watching
a party of about 15 players engaged in
the game of ronge et noir.
This night my eye had been particu
larly kept upon a short, dark hairei
man, evidently a loreigner. tic was
playing heavily. From his pocket he
brought up at first single pieces of gold,
then, as he lost he had terrible luck
he placed down on tho table small
handfuls of sovereigns. He had jnst
now lost 10 at a swoop. Then he pro
duced a banknote and laid it down.
"Excuse me, sir," inquired the bank
er, "how mnch do you shake?"
"One hundred pounds."
"Thank you," remarked tho hanker
politely.
The game went on, and the cards
were turned up. With an exclamation
the player rose from his seat and pushed
his chair back. He had lost ouce mora
As he left th: place I followed him. He
walked swiftly ou for a long time
through the now almost deserted streets,
for it was nearly 2 o'clock in the morn
ing. At length he came to a house in a
dismal street off the Tottenham Court
road, in one of the top rooms of which
there was a dim light burning, opened
tho door with his key and entered.
I had an idea somehow that that ad
dress might prove useful to me, and I
was standing close to the door noting
its number when the dcor suddenly
opeUcd and my nmu again appeared,
bareheaded, ghastly pale and breathless.
"Help, help!" he gasped. "She has
killed herself she is dying! I have
murdered her murdered her!"
I dashed in, and, rushing up tho
stairs, made my way to that dimly lit
room, the man following close ct my
heels. In it, sitting in a chair beside the
fireplace, was a woman, yocng and
pretty, but now witli her face convulsed
with pain. She seemed nearly uncon
scious and was breathing heavily. Ou
the floor beside her was a small, round,
empty bottle.
Sending him to wake up the people
of the house raid dispatch some one for
a doctor, I had in less than five miuutps
administered on emetic to tho girl in
the shape of a .strong cos,p cf mustard
and water.
. As she l::y thrie, appaic iitly dying,
he man leaned pver :er, sobling, tear
ing his hair and talking in French.
"And that crime was all for iictiiiuq.

Belpnnlt (mother Fretiphniau. Was Bel
pnrd Repan? I wondered. .Naturally
enough, I wanted to discover something
about him, and letting M. Despard have
a rest I transferred my attentions to
his friend.
Only a few minutes after Despard had
left M. Bclpard came out with a bag in
his hand. Ho hailed a cab, was driven
to Waterloo station, and took a first
elass ticket to Southampton. fJuknowu
to him, I saw him off and was then
driven back to his lodgings. Inquiring
or Belpard, I said I was T.I Bol

irother. Alas, it was most- unfortunate

An hour later there were keen eyes at
Southampton and at London ou the
lookout for M. Belpard, cr, rather, for
Repan, for he it was.
For over a week every watch was
kept, every search made for that gentle
man. All was in vain. M. Belpard had
disappeared.
Despard was still at his lodgings. J

often lost in transit.
Shortly beforo my interview with
Despard a sum of 5,000 in gold aud
1,000 in silver had been taken.
About 10 o'clock in tho morning two
clerks from a branch had arrived at one
of the biggest central banks, aud pro
ducing their authority to receivo the
money the cash had been put into bags,
a passing cab hailed, and the clerks and
the cash seen safely into it.
They did not arrive at the brauch
office. Inquiry aud search were made
for them, and at length the two men
were found unconscious, seated in a cab,
of which the driver bad disappeared in
a byroad off Hampstead iu tho north
of Loudon. The bags of money had
gone, and what had occurred to them
tho two clerks could not say. They had
ridden on with the windows of the cab
up, on their way to the branch office.
Then they had suddenly lost their senses.
On examination it was found that
the cab was a "make up" one. It be
longed to no owner of cabs in London.
It was a mantrap, devised for the per
petration of one of tho cleverest rob
beries of modern times, a robbery in
which it seemed we should never dis
cover tho actors, for weeks passed and
no clew to them was fonnd, though
500 was offered privately by tho bank
for their arrest.
It was by that mark on the handle of
tho black bag in Repan 'a room that I
was convinced ho was one of the thieves,
The bag was one of the bank's, and the
mark had been placed upon it for iden
tification.
"I will tell you all, "said Despard.
"Repau was an acquaintance of mine.
1 was a mechanic. He came to mo one
day aud said, 'Despard, have you heard
of that new machine in which they kill
cats and dogs?' I hadn't. 'They put
them into an almost airtight box,' ho
went on, 'and pump in poisoned air.
They aro dead in no time. Despard,
you are poor. I have a scheme by which
we may make a fortune. ' "
In a few words he laid his plot be
fore him to buy a cab, alter it so that
when the windows were closed it would
be almost airtight, while through a
tube passing iutothe cab air powerfully
drngged might bo pumped into the
vehicle by an arrangement worked by
tho driver's foot.
Despard set to work. In less than ten
days tho trap cab was upon the Loudon
streets. For three days it hovered
around the bank dcors. On the fourth
it was engaged.
"The driver was, of course, an ac
complice, " went on Despard. "Tho ap
paratus worked wonderfully. Before
they dreamed of danger the clerks were
rendered insensible by the drngged air
and were being driven to Hampstead,
Repau and I following. In a quiet spot
tho cab stopped, Repau rushed to the
door, threw it open, grasped the bags,
sprang witli them into our trap, aud
with tho driver cf the cab we all set off
at full speed,"
"Auu wuat tecame or tne money? 1
asked.
"I had 1,000," ho answered, "tho

"And where is lie?" I asked eagerly.
Despard mournfully shook his head.

He certainly did not. That reward.

Slysterlons Defects In Engines.
Defects often develop in steam en
gines and other machines that are very
mysterious in their origin aud call for
great ingenuity iu detecting the cause.
Unless a man in charge of an engine
develops habits of close observation h
is likely to be easily beaten when any
thing unusual takes place.
We read lately of a tendency to run
away of a Corliss engine, which was a
great mystery tor a time. Tne engine
would speed up for a few moments
without any apparent cause and drop
back to its normal speed without any
thing being done. The engine was taken
apart and examined carefully, and par
ticular attention was devoted to the
governor, but nothing wrong could be
found. One day, while the eugiueer
was looking at the engine, it suddenly
speeded up about 50 revolutions above
the normal, and before the steam could
be shut off it dropped back to the regu
lar speed. Tho engine was stopped, the
governor again taken apart, the valve
mechanism examined and a minute in
spection made over the whole machine,
and nothing conld be found the matter.
Some of the people about were be
ginning to think this erratic engine was
acting outside qf natural laws and that
a real mystery snrrounded the tendency
to run away. By accident the engineer
grasped the governor belt and was sur
prised to find that the pulley turned on
the shaft. The pulley was of the com
mon kind, made in two pieces and bolt
ed together, being held to the shaft by
the friction of the parts. The bolts had
worked loose aud permitted tho pulley
to turn on the shaft at short intervals.
When hearing about this mystery,
the surprise wo experienced was that
the engineer did not thoroughly examine
that pulley after he had looked at the
Governor. Toomotiye Engineering.
TAKING MEDICINE.
Acids, ns a rule, should be given be
tween meals. Acids given before meals
check the excessivo secretion of tho acids
of the gastric julco.
Iodine or the iodides should be given on
an empty stomach. If given during diges
tion, the acids uml starch alter and weak
en their action.
Irritating and poisonous drugs, such as
salts of arsenic, copper, zino and iron,
should bo given directly after meal?.
Cxide and nitrato of silver should bo
given after the process of digestion is end
ed. If given during or close after meals,
the chomicals destroy or impair their no
tion. Potassium permanganate also should
not be given until tho process of digestion
is ended, as organic matter decomposes it
and renders it inert.
Thor.ctivo principlo of tho gastric juico
is impaired and rendered inert by tannin
and pure alcohol; hence they should never
bo given until after tho dose of digestion.
JIalt extracts, cod liver oil, the phos
phates, etc., should be given with or di
rectly after food.
A recent writer gives these hints on
medicine taking. Of courso no drug should
bo taken without advice of a physicinn,
but when a ppecial tonic has been pre'
scribed these ruhs are useful pa to the
begt tlmo for administering it,

The march of science and invention
and the energy of William J. Blau,
editor of the Troy (Ala.) Daily Messen
ger, have combined to" produce this ap
parent phenomenon.
Mr. Blau served in the Confederate
army and cairo through without a

veteran's reunion was held at Troy,
and among other things the old ex-sol
diers indulged m a sham battle. Mr
Blan was detailed to load and fire cut
of the cannons. During the niork battl
the cannon exploded prematurely, aii
