If you bebave yourself there, and show xhat you have any of the true stuff in you, I will give you a better posi tion in time. If not, 1 will wash my ;liands out of you, and you will re ceive no more employment from this company. lie looked after Bevan somewhat .Tegretfully, as the great, handsome fellow went out. Superintendent "Clarke was inclined to like him; but Bevan's conduct m ade it impossible to show him much fai or. A week later Bevan went down to Henderson and opened the little tele graph i office over which he was to ibe sole manager for how long? Telegraphy was more of a curios ity then than it is now, and he found himself regarded as a sort of lion by the people there. He tried hard to be steady and sober, and really suc ceeded very well. He struck up an acquaintance with the station agent, who was a steady, thorough-going voung fellow and an excellent com- rpsinloTi. He was greal ly taken with the mysteries of telegraphy, and very much to his deliirht 1'nvan offered to teaeh him and had soon ti n nslorrued :2iira into a tolerable "plusr." One evening about two weeks after : Be van ! in d been in possession or' the Henderson office he was attracted to the sounder by hearing Riehport. the .bove Henderson, calling furiously. The big fellow walked leisurely back to the 'table and answered in his -slow, drawling fashion, which always : set the other operators alonr the .Jute nearly distracted. He was re warded by the following: T .f. R. Chuule, President Henderson Rank: The bullion has arrived. Do you wish it sent by milk train to night? I shall not send .it un!es I receive direct orders at once. . William Klmm. Cashier H Dank. lie copied the message, enclosed it in an envelope, directed it in his .round, bold hand and called to the messenger, who was in the outer room. "Be sure and get an answer, Wil liam," hesaid "Faith, I will," William replied. Bevan followed him to the door. The moon had "one down and it had ; grown very dark. The station was a.lout a mile from the village, and he ,couid just see the lights ol t he near est house in the distance. In half an hour William returned. 'Rather a lonely walk, Will," Jie--van remarked. - "Yes, sir. I came back across the shields, and so shortened it." Which in ail probabiiitv saved his Qife. Bevan tore theenve'opecontuiuing 'the answer open and read it. "You can go home, now my boy," 2ie said. Tlia mess aire read: TFo William Klein. Cashier Rifhport Dank: No; do not send 1 lie bullion to-niiit. I will Rive further orders to-morrow us to its disposition. J. It clauive. r?esident Henderson Bank. He had checked the message, and, standing by the tale, had streched out his hand toward the key to call Iliehport, when an arm was thrown irouglily around him, pinning his -'hands to diis sides, and he felt the pressure ofcold steel upon Ms temple. "Move, shout or speak but a single word, and I will blow your brains out," said a harsh, determined voice . un a low tone. Bevan was as brave, perhaps, as ojiost men, yet he was throughly frightened scared almost to death. lie could hear the muffled tramp of men in the office. One of them hlexv out the kerosene lamp and turned a dark lantern so that It rshown directly in Bevan's eyes, al most blinding him. Another man, low in stature, thick set, with a long llack beard and a black mask over the upper part o." his lace, placed him self directly in front of Bevan and produced a pair of handcuffs, which &e secured upon his wrists. Hisnrms --were- then released bv the man who Siekl them. He with the beard, who eemed to be the leader, then by the light of the lantern hunted over t he table until he found the message, . which he r ad and carefully placed in 2ii.s breast pocket. "You are sure this te'erram has riot sbeen sent?" 'he said, addressing an other of the men. "I know it has not," was the answer. "He was just getting ready to send it when we entered." 'Very good. ''Now," hecontinued, . turning to the white, "horror-stricken . operator. "I want you to under stand that we are going to secure the treasure which was to have been sent down from Riehport to-night, and you will '.ielp us. Ifyou have any objections this little persuader will silence them. As bespoke he tapper! the butt of the revolver significantly, which projected from his pocket. "He then took up a pencil and proceeded to write out a mcrsage on d. soft sheet. While he was thus em ployed Bevan took occasion to rianee around. There were eight men in the room, all of whom wore masks similar to those worn by their chief. He could just make out their forms in the dim light. A hand dropped upon his shoulder shewed that even the turning of the head had been observed. "There." the leader said, "you will send that instead of the other mes sage." He held up the blank before Bevan. It read: To William Klein. Cashier E'chport Bank: Yes send the bullion ly the milk train to. night without fail. My cashier with a guard will be at the station to receive it. J. II. Claude. President. Bevan looked down at his mana cled wrists. The irons were heavy and the chains connecting the two rings not more than three inches long. "I can't send it with these on," he muttered. "You must!" said the chief, grimly. Bevan resolved to try. Taking up a pencil he managed to count the words and scrawled the check on the message with some difficulty. He was going to remark from force of habit that it should be written on a message blank, but under the con ditions bethought himself in time. "Stop! What is that?" said the chief, pointing to the check. "The numl)er of words and the amount paid," answered Bevan. "Is this necessary?" he asked of the man to whom he had spoken before. "Yes, sir. It is all right. They call it the check and put it on every mes sage." "Very well, then; go ahead. This man is an operator; he will watch you closely, and at the first sign of treachery I will put a bullet through your head. Smith, stand out of range, or you may get a taste of it,, too." Bevan sat down at the table, the leader pushinghis chair closer. Open ing the key he commenced calling "It." He again felt the cold barrel of the revolver on his forehead, and it made him so nervous that he could hardly manipulate the key. "It" tinswered. "That is good," said the man ad dressed as Smith who was the oper ator. "Send slow. I can't read fast sending," he added. Bevan proceeded very slowly, and Smith pronounced each word as he made it. The leader glanced alter nately at Smith and Bevan uneasily. It was evident that, this was the crisis of their bold conspiracy. "R': broke Bevanln the middle of a mes sage, wanting to know why the deuce he sent so slowly. Bevan closed the kev and took his hand away nervously" "What did he say?" demanded the chief. "He wanted to know why I didn't send faster." 'Tel! him you have a sore finger," said Smith. Poor Bevan spelled this lie out ylowly, Smith reading it aloud, then went on and finished the message. "R" gave a sharp and distinct "O K," which the renegade operator read aloud. Tiie leader gave a sigh of relief which Bevan promptly echoed as lie felt the pistol barrel removed from his head. The chief then unlocked one of the handcuffs, removed it, placed Bevan's hands behind his back and reclasped the ring around his wrist, thus rendering him perfect ly helpless. There was nothing to be done ex cept to wait. The men disposed themselves on the various chairs scattered about the room, the leader still guarding iievan, revolver in hand. As Bevan thought over the events of the last half hour he was filled with rage at the dastardly deed he had been compelled to com mit. This money which now would fall into the hands of these mis creants was the honest property o. honest farmers, wives and orphans, and he had assisted to rob them. Rotter far to have sacrificed his Hie. If unharmed, how could he ever hold up his head again? Oh. that he had refused to bo their tool! Was there no way to undo what he had done? Stop! The key which he had fixed op in the dark corner under his table, connecting it to the main line pre cisely as his other key was connecting to play a joke on the good-natured station agent. He had at odd times practiced sending with his foot and found it not half so difficult as one would suppose. He had bent the cir cuit closer so that he could move it easily, and the rest was merely a matter of practice. He had perse vered until he grew quite proficient in t his novel method of transmission. He opened the key with his foot and made a few dots. "What is that?" said the leader. "Only some one practicing," an swered Bevan, readily. The leader looked at Smith, who nodded. Reran called "R" rapidly. "What did he say there?" "Practicing the letter 'c' " he an swered glibly. "Do yon wish me to read aloud all that passes over the wire?" "No. it is not necessary," "I can read most of it," said Smith; givingBevan a penetrating glance. Bevan had his own reasons for doubting this statement however. "It" answered. Be-nn said, sending as rapidly as he could under circum stances: "Has that message been delivered yet?' "Yes, long ago." "Then go after it and stop it. That bullion must not be sent to-night." The key at "R" opened and re mained so for nearly five minutes; then it closed and he said, "All right, the bullion wi;l not go. What is the matter?" "The matter is that this ofneeisfull of armed highwaymen. I was forced to send th-it message with a loaded revolver at my forehead." "Good heavens! Wait a minute." Bev&n turned and met the eye 'of ihe robber chief. He could no'o heVp b -anting sarcastically. -he -ciiiei was on h'm fsefc ia an in utnnt. "By God," he said, "if you have played us any trick, young fellow, you will pav for it with yourbfe." "He has "not said a word." re marked Smith. "It is well for him," said theleauer. "If That bullion arrives all right you will be released uninjured. If it fails to come, or if there is as;gnof treach eryyour corpse will be found on the floor to-morrow morning, with your brains spattered on that wall. Belvan shuddered at this picture, which was beginning to loom up as a black reality before liim. "The chief of police is here," ticked out the sounder, "and wants to know how you are situated." "My hands 'are handcuffed behind me, and a man sits beside me with a loadedand cocked revolver," Bevan answered. "Thundor! Then how can vou send?" "Iam sending with my foot on a concealed key under the table which was rigged up to play a joke on Mason." "What can' be done to save you?" "Nothing. But capture these rob bers, if possible. When does the train leave?" "In ten minutes." "Then hold it. There are eight heavily armed men here. Better have twenty-fiveorthirty well-armed men on the train. L"t it stop just above the curve and have them walk downand surround the station. "It's" key opened a moment then he said: "It will be done. What will they do to you?" "Iam doomed will probably be shot the very first thing. But some one will swing for it." "Good odl Is there no help?" "No, none. I would like to have you bid the superintendent good-bye for me. Tell him I had resolved to live a better life. And tell Mason in the morning of a trick I played on him." "I will; I will. Is there nothing else?" "No. I had better stop now, or I may arouse suspicion. Good-live old fellow." "What is all that about?" demand ed the leader of the highwaymen. A couple of students practing," Be van replied wearilv. A deep silence followed, broken at last by the sound er clicking out: The train has just left with twenty eight policemen and citizens aboard." "0 K," Bevan answered. It would make the run in forty or forty-five minutes. A distant church bell chimed out 11 o'clock. Where would he be at 12? "The train is due in ten minutes," said Smith. Just at that moment Bevan caught a sound which escaped the less practiced ears of his compan ion. The train had arrived and stepped at the curve! His blood coursed like wildfire through his veins; his heart thump ed against his side as though it would force its way out great; beads of perspiration out on his forehead like pearls; ev?ry nerve was alive with anticipation. it ca me a t last. Roth doors of the station were burst in with a tremend ous crash a wild rush was made for the inside oflice a loud voice ex claimed: "Surrender in thenameof thelaw!" "Betrayed!" limited the leader. He placed the barrel of his revolv er to Bevan's ear the hammer fell with a dull thud. It had misd fire! With acurse he raised it in the air. and brought it down upon Bevan's head a bright Hash passed before his eyes, the room sank away from him all was oblivion. "I think he looks n little better, Dr. Thome," said a sweet voice. Bevan opened his eyes. "-Where am 1" he asked. His voice was low and weak. "You must not talk. You are in the hands of Iriends and all is well." He soon fouiwl t hat he was in the house of the President of the Hen derson Bank, and that swreet voice belonged to his daughter. Miss Mari on Claude. Nursed by such hands his recovery was rapid. When able to get around he was provided with a clerkship in the bank, whence he has risen to the the present high position of cashier. The eight highwaymen were all captured and tried, and sentenced to various terms in the state prison. The ring-h ader received ti life sen tence, and is there still. Bevan never found out how had obtained intelligence of shipment of the bullion. Miss Claude? Oh, she is Bevan now. they the Mrs. Knew The Value of Advice. When I). K. Tenney was admitted to the bar lie was out? of the ''boys." He enjoyed a irood tinif as well as any one and the following story is to'd of him: He v.uit to a country daiirenear Madison.

"You've Iven ilancinu with his girl all the even ing." "I didn't know it. What shall I do?" "Well, if I were you, I'd put on my coat and mnkea sneak lor home. I'd get away from here just "s quick as I could." The em bryo lawyer said never a word, but reached down in his pocket and pulled out a two dollar bill. "What are you fioing?"asked the friend. "Take it." "1 don'twantanv money." "Take it," repeated Tenny. "I've taken five dollars for a blamed sight worse advice than that." Chicago Tribune. TtP - f 1 tf Tr;o Alphabet in one Verse, The twenty-first verse of the second chapter of Ezra contains every letter of the alpha be,f, and is the only one thus distinguished: "And I. even I, Ar- taxerxes, the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are be yond the river, tha t whatsoever Ezra, the priest, the scribe of thelaw of the God of heaven, shall require of you, is to be done speedily." Prophecy In a Poem. A Texas member of the House tells t lie following story on ex-Governor Ireland: It seems the former Governor ot the Lone Star State knew more of brave ry than of books and was better up in politics than in poetry. Accord ing to the Texan, Go venor Ireland sat one night alone in his offics. Be ing in a somewhat pensive mood he picked up a school reader, glanced over it carelessly and finally stopped breathless, his eye caught by some chance words. His secretary en tered as he finished the reading, and looking up at him. he exclaimed: "Jones, why do they stick such a fine thing as" this away in a child's reader? It'o an outrage, a shame that people suffer such a gem to be buried just because some poor devil wrote it who was not a Longfellow or a. Shakespeare. Til write to night to some of these Eastern magazines and inclose it. Talk about genius, why, it fairly blisters out in that po em. and yet people are such brutes thev can't see ir. " What's the name of it?" asked the secretary. "I don't remember, but I mean to write half of it down and quo from it in my next speech. Here it is. It's called ''Gray's Elegy in a Country Church Yard.' The - very name is a poem; but listen to one of the verses here. Could anything he truer ot our own fate?" and the Governor squared off and read in his best voice: 'Full many a pern of purest ray serene The dark, unfa rhorned caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower is born to b'.ueh unseen. And waste its sweetness on the desert air." "My , man, that's prophecy." Deep Breathing. Deep inhalation is said to be the key to health and beauty. Breath ing, like learning, is a dangerous thing taken in small draughts. Breathe, as well as drink, deep if vou would be refreshed. Men of science frequently assert that, breathed properly, we would if we have no impure blood. How is this deep breathing done? by what process? "Simply thus. Stand, inhale deeply, fully, complete ly. As vou do so, let the waist ex pand, and don't be afraid to have the abdomen protrude. At the last of the inhalation let (don't make) the chest expand. Let the air out gradually, and repeat the operation five or ten times. He who thinks he must begin inhalation by making -the chest spread, falls into a serious error, because this course prevents complete inhalation. Thirty or forty deep inhalations every morn ing in as pure air as possible, will do more to keep the circu'ation of the blood good, the blood itself pure, the lungs well and strong, and the move ments of the secretions active, than 11 i-l . 1 : . . ! . ....

Undersold the Owner. The proprietor of a country store was noted lor being particularly obliiriiiir to his customers, and hehad a clear headed ami smart young man for a clerk. One day ore of the best customers of the house called to buy a dress pattern. The price was seventy-five cents, and after a long talk the clerk closed the bargain at sev enty cents. While the clerk was selecting trim ming, etc., in another part of the store, the genial proprietor came along rubbing his hands, inquired after the family of the customer, praised her taste in selecting that particular piece of goods, and as . a special favor to a. good customer let her have it lor sixty-eight cent per yard. The clerk returned, and the lady told him olthe reduction the proprie tor had made. The clerk was luri ous, but not in the least disconcert ed. He saw that if the customers thought he was selling higher than others in the store they would avoid him and his discharge would follow; so he said: "I just looked at the bill and can sell you that piece at sixty-five cents a yard." When the sale was completed the proprietor was as angry as the clerk. "Do you know that I made the price sixty-eight cents?" asked the proprietor. "i'es," replied the clerk, "nut I want you to understand that no man can undersell me in this store." He kept his situation. The Vanderbilt Linen." Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt gets all her house linen from Paris, woven and decorated from select patterns submitted by the manufacturers. Her sheets are considerably finer in texture than the tablecloth that a .$10,tK)0 a year housekeeper could afford, and the drawn work, fringing and edging with which they are finished are models in needle work. These wonder .ul pieces of the loom are made with a lap end some six teen inches deep, to b turned over the edge of the bedclothes as a finish for the spread. Some have an arabesque pattern in open applique, . others are embellished with laid embroidery and some have the monogram in Kensington or di-iiwn work. The sheets for the em pire bed are trimmed with a thread lace flounce or a ruffle of open em broidery, and each, when laundered,. is folded the size or a handkerchief, tied with colored ribbons and laid away between sachets of sweet lav ender. The pillow'cases, also of the very fruit ot the loom, are trimmed at the open end with lace, some of it a hand deep and as lovely in texture as the ruffles of a pictured marquis, nn in one side is the monogram representing a sort of mosaic in thread and the labor of raoitlis.
