The bishop of Caahel, having occa-
i.on to visit Dublin accompanied by liln
wife niitl daugh
ter, determined to
perform the Jour
ney by e n b y
stages, In Ida own
carriage.
At tho foot of a
hill, however, ho
decided to make
the nscent afoot,
and so hla family
and BcrvnntH wuro
far In advnnro '
when ho decided
to hasten. At a
wild point In tho
road a fellow
leaped from be
hind Homo stones,
nourished a club,
nnd detimndcd
"Money !'
Tho bishop gnvo
the lobber all tho
nllver ho h a d
loose In his pock
et, hoping Hint It would satisfy him;
but he was mistaken.
"And Is It with tho likes of this
I'm niter lotting you off? n fow
paltry tin-pennies! Arrah, don't Btnnd
shivering nnd slinking there, hut pull
out your jiurso Immediately, or I'll
bate you ns blue ns n whetstone"
His lordship most reluctantly yield
ed his well-lllled purse, saying In
tremulous nccents: "My good fellow,
there It Is; don't Ill-use mo; l'vo for
given you all; pray let mo depnrL"
"Fair nnd softly, If you pluse; ns
sure ns I'm not n good fellow, I haven't
dono with you yet. I muBt Bnrch for
your note-case, for I'll cngngo you
have n fow bits of paper pnyablo at
tho bank; so hand it over or you'll
sup sorrow tonight."
It wns given up. Tho bishop rando
nn instinctlvo movement as though
nnxlouB to escape from further pil
lage i
"Wnlt a while, or maybe I shall get
angry with you; hand over your
wntch nnd Beals, nnd then you mny
trudge."
"Surely you have taken enough ;
leavo my watch, nnd Til forglvo nil
you hnvo done."
"Who ns'd your forgiveness, you old
vnrmlnt? Don't forco mo to do any
thing I'll bo sorry for hut w.ithout
any moro bother, just glvo mo tho
wntch."
And he jerked tho bludgeon from
his right hand to his left, spnt In the
horny palm of tho foimcr, nnd r.
grnsperj the ft.rtnld.ibta ve-jirn; tl i-
action wns not unl.i.. by h'1 v.c-
tlm ho drew forth the golden time
piece, and with a heavy sigh handtd
It to the .spoiler. ' ,
It needed no porBvmslon to Induce
tho bishop to turn his back upon the
despoil, i uT h.a Yi oi Idly sooda, and.
lmvl'i'j no" weight to curry, he not off
at what equestrians term "a hard
canter." Scarcely, however, had he
leached tho middle of the precipitous
load when ho perceived 111 persecu
tor running 'after him.
,"Stop, you nimble-footed thief of
the woild!" roared the tobber "stop,
1 tell ou. l'vo a parting vcrtl with
you yet."
Tho exhausted nnd defenseless cler
gyman, finding it iniposMblu )lo con
tinue his HiMit, buddtnly came to a
btandstdl. Tbu tollow approachtd, and
hla lace, instead of its iornter te
roclty, was lit up with n whimsical
ioguUhncHb oCe-xptesBloit as ho said;
"And Is It likely that I'd let you olt
with u better coat ou your back tliiin
my own? and will 1 he after losing tho
chance cf that elegant hat and wig?
Off with them this moment, and then
you'll bu quit o' me. '
The footpad qu. ly divested tho
bishop oi his binglu orcautud coat, laid
violent hands upon the cUVleal hat nnd
full buttr-med wig, put them on his
own perpou, and then infelelcd ou Boe
ing hla luto apparel uaul In tuelr
stead, and with p. loud laugh, ran otf.

broken bois, his lordship was not

1 i iii'lon uecnifl to bo seated to death
el .tut big fellow with tho black lint.
I wonder whnl'a up."
"Don't bother me, ,11m, I'm busy,"
returned Harrington, Impatiently.
"Tom's been casting furtive glances
nt the big fellow as if ho was trying
to dodge him," continued Morris, ex
citedly. "Now he's stopped In fton.
of that Jewelry store and tho big fel
low has ranged up alongside of him."
"Uriindon'tf as palo as a ghost," ob
served Harrington, now thoroughly In
terested, "lie's started off again and
the big fellow Is after him. Hello,
he's coming over here!"
This was true, tlrandon, cngerly
glancing around for somo way of es
cape from his pursuer, had seen Har
rington und was hurrying ncroaa tho
Ktreet. A few moments later, he en
tored nnd sank, breathless und ex
hausted, Into the chair Morrla pushed
towards him.
"What's tho matter, Tom?" Inquired
Harrington, solicitously. "You aio
trembling like a leaf. Who's that big
fellow who was following you?"
"Haven't the slightest Idea, Phil,"
replied Urnndon, shuddering nt the
refcrenco to his purBiier. "That fel
low's been following mo for tho past
two months. No matter where- I go,
.lie's always behind mo. A week ago
,ho moved into thu Iioubo next door to
mine- nnd H'b been ten times worso
,s!nco then."
"Why don't you nsk him what ho
'means?" demnnded MorrlB.
"I can't, Jim," returned nrandon,
mournfully. "I wish I could, but that
fellow's got a pair of tho most pierc
ing eyes in his head that you ever
saw. They ooro mo turougn iiko a
gimlet and Bend a cold chill down
ray backbone"
"You'ro in bad shapo, Tom. Why
don't you run down to tho country
and braco up a bit?"
"I'd do It in a mlnuto, Phil," repllod
Drnndon, eagerly, "but I'm bo tied up
that unless I Bell my house, i can't
'go."
"What will you take for the house,
.Ilrandon?" Inquired Morris, thought
fully. "Maybe I can Boll It for you."
"I'd tako five thousand, Jim, al
though I know It's worth more, Just
to get away from that follow with
those infernal black eyes."
"All right, Tom," returned Morris.
"I'll tako tho matter In hand. I have
an idea that may help mo to sell thu
house"
