In sentencing a prisoner to be banged
tor tbe murder of a Boldifer, Liord Bisk-,
grove dilated upon the crime as fol
lows: "And not only did you murder
him, whereby he was beraved of his 1 fe,
but you did thrust, or push, or pierce,
or project, or propel the lethal weapon,
though the bellyband of his regimental
breeches, whlc/h were his majesty's!"
Buckle attributes the great success ot
Scottish men of science to their prefer
ence for a priori or deductive argu-'
ment. The following fitory of similar
trend was attributed to Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman. A Scotsman was
asserting that all the great poets were
of his nation. "Well, but," said one,
how about Shakespeare? You can't
Say he was a Scotsman." To which the
other replied, "His talents would Jus
tify the supposition."
The humors of examination papers
were illustrated by Dr. Haig Brown,
who, speaking at the City of London
College upon Che responsibility which
rested upon examiners in weighing
fragments of knowledge, said that the
question, "What are the Chiltren Hun
dreds?" once received the reply,
"Small animals which abound in such
great numbers in cheese." The in
quiry "What is a cherub?" elicited, iq
Its iturn, the answer, "An immoral be
ing of uncertain shape."
A solicitor in a Georgia court relates
that he once overheard a conversation
between 'his cook and a nurse, who were
discussing a recent funeral of a member
of their race, at which there had been
a great profusion of flowers. The nurse
said: "When I die, don'it plant no flow
ers on my grave,, but plant a. good old
watermelon vine, and when it gets ripe
you come dar, and don't you eat it, but
jes* bus' it on 1e grave and let dat good
old Juice dribble down through de
ground."
The Boston Transcripit tells a story
of a roan who has a class of boys in
natural history. One of the subjects
which be took up was butterflies and
moths, and ihe told the children a good
deal ,about the chrysalides and cocoons.
A
filer he bad got the boys well instruct
ed, he showed one of the smallest of
them one of the cocoons, and asked:
."What butterfly is this the cocoon of?"
Then the little boy looked up and said
slowly and respectfully: "My papa
says that all cocoons look alike to him!"
When Henry Clay was stumDlng
Kentucky for re-election, at one of his
mi'iss-meetings an old 'hunter of wide
political influence said: "Well, Har
ry, I've always been flor you, but be
cause of that vote" (which he named,1
"I'm goin' agfn you." "Let me see
your rifle," said Clay. It was handed
up tto him. "Is she a good rifle?"
"Yes." "Did she ever miss fire?'
"Well, yes, once." "Why didn't you
throw fher away?" "The old hunter
thought a moment and then said, "Har
ry, I'll try you agin." And Harry was
elected.
Sir Jotin Adye, who was governor of
Gibraltar fortress, always made him
self closely acquainted with the work
of whatever happened to be in his de
partment. Meeting a person once com
ing into the office late, cne general
asked him what time 'he wis supposed
I'JO be on duty. "Oh!" was the reply,
"I usually stroll in about eleven or
twelve o'clock." "Stroll in?" said Sir
John, in arising tone "then I presume
you do not leave till late?" "Well,
usually slip off about two o'clock."
"Slip off at two?" exclaimed the veter
an, in his topmost note "pray, may I
ask wbat department you belong to?''
Oh," said the stranger, "I come every
Saturday to al'Jtend to the clocks."
The recent illness.of the Rev. E. R,
Johnson of Mulberry, Ind., recalls the
fadt that some years ago he was sup
posed to have died, and h'ls body was
prepared for the grave. W'hile in nig
coffin, rigid from o'.telepsy, he heard
his funeral sermon pronounced, but for
tunately recovered in time to prevent
premature burial.

nature? Oh, ridiculous! It is the
most glaring case I ever saw! Mr.
Falkland—Major Brown"—in her agi
tation her ladyship would have ap
pealed to her bitterest enemy—"come
and say what you think about it. It
is a forgery, of course!"
A forgery! The word acted like
magic upon the two men. Falkland,
with his head almost buried in an
evening newspaper' and his whole
thoughts occupied with the interesting
"Beauchamp Case," instantly dropped
the paper and stood perfectly im
movable, looking from Lady Howard
to Evelyn, from Evelyn to her aunt,
whilst Brown, who had sauntered off
to the edge of the terrace, started per
ceptibly and grew white to the very
lips.
For a moment not a word was
uttered. Everybody gazed in fasci
nated silence at the thin slip of in
nocent looking pink paper fluttering
softly to and fro in her ladyship's
fingers, and then it was Falkland who
was the first to speak.
"But the money? Five hundred
pounds, did you say?" There was
etrange energy in his voice, a dash of
feverish excitement in his manner.
"The check has been cashed?"
"Oh, dear no—certainly not! Luck
ily for Evelyn, the flaw in her signa
ture was discovered in time, so that
no harm has been done."
"How very fortunate!" was the re
ply, terse rather than jubilant
"And yet I hardly understand," came
dubiously from the Major, who, from
Ihe moment the expression and alarm
had come into his face, had stood,
with his head bent, glaring fixed
ly at the glowing ash ot his cigar.
"Of what does the. flaw consist?"
"Of the merest trifle," answered Lady
Howard readily. "It 1b simply that
my niece is always in the habit of
signing her name in full—'Evelyn
Chantry LuttreH'—whereas in this case
It Is signed only 'Evelyn C. Luttrell.'"
"Yes," added Evelyn, speaking for
the first time. "And, as one of my
check books, upon which I had very
foolishly written my name, 'Evelyn
C. Luttrell,' was lost In the post last
year, they said at the bank that for
the future, as a preventive of forger
ies, they would never casta any checks
that were not signed with 'Chantry*

"Then this check," suggested Falk

CHAPTER IX.
On the following evening Lady How
trd and her niece, accompanied by the
indefatigable Falkland, were taking
little stroll along the terrace, when
Major Brown appeared and handed a
note to Evelyn.
"The last delivery, and only one
letter! Dear me, the postman is treat
ing us badly to-day!" exclaimed Lady
Howard, with symptoms of astonish
ment. "I have been expecting to hear
from the boys. Their school breaks
up on the twenty-ninth, and I was
wanting to arrange about the trains.
Why, Evelyn dear, whoever is your
correspondent? You look surprised,"
she broke off suddenly.
"Well, yes—I am," said Miss Lutt
rell, with a little nod, contracting her
brows into a distinct frown. "It is
from the bank but what it means I
have no Idea. I cannot make head or
tail of H."
"From the bank?" repeated Lady
Howard questioningly.
"Yes," explained Evelyn. "They say
that the enclosed check was presented
at the bank this morning, but that they
refused to cash it on the ground that
only the initial of my second name
was signed instead of my name in full."
'Ah—I understand! It is merely
your own mistake, I suppose? You
wrote, the check in a hurry and for
got how you' usually sign your name."
"That must be it, of course," mus
ed Evelyn in a tone which, in spite
of her words, sounded slightly doubt
ful. "All the same, though"—with
sudden decision—"I am perfectly cer
tain that I have not written any check
for five hundred pounds!"
'Five hundred pounds! My dear
child, why did you not tell me that
at once?" Lady Howard turned anx
iously towards her niece. "Let me
look at the check. Is that your sig-

own that she could scarcely believe,
despite the convincing "Five hundred
pounds," that she had not really writ
ten it herself. "And the finder has
evidently considered it advisable to
let some months pass before trying his
experiment only, now that I come to
think of it"—Miss Luttrell paused,
and, glancing up quickly as if for in
spiration. encountered Falkland's dark
penetrating eyes fixed steadily upon
her—"the checks I lost were blue—I
know they were—whilst this one is
pink, payable to order like those I
am using now."
It was undoubtedly rather an as
tounding piece of news. Falkland look
ed distinctly perturbed, whilst Brown
examined the end of his cigar more
intently than ever and tried to ap
pear perfectly unimpressed.
"Are you certain of that, Miss Lut
trell?" The question came somewhat
abruptly from Falkland.
"Certain!" answered Evelyn decid
edly. "But, if you like, I will fetch
my check book then you can see for
yourself."
She jumped up from her chair and
turned to hurry off along the terrace,
when, to her surprise, she found that
Major Brown had turned likewise, and
that consequently their paths both lay
in the same direction.
"This is a very serious business,
Miss Luttrell," he began as he walk
ed along by her side, going straight
to the all-important object.
"Yes it is rather serious—at least,
it might have been," was Evelyn's
philosophical rejoinder.
"Anyhow, it is annoying and of
course some steps ought to be taken in
the matter at once, or the same thing
may be occurring again, only next
time it will probably be your full
name, instead of merely the initial."
"Yes but, whatever we do, it is
quite hopeless expecting to succeed,"
returned Evelyn, with a rueful shake
of her head. That poor Sir Adrian
Beauchamp has been offering his re
ward for months in the hope of dis
covering the man who has forged his
name but it has been perfectly use
less. The only wise thing is to keep
one's check book safely under lock
and key. After all, Mr. Falkland's
advice to me the other day was pret
ty sensible."
"Yes—lock up your check book, by
all means but even locks and keys
are not always proof against such vil
lains as—the writer of that check. It
is all very well, Miss Luttrell, but be
cause he has not succeeded in robbing
you of that five hundred pounds is no
reason he should be allowed to go
scot-free."
"Still how are we to trace him?"
The Major shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, your first and only chance of
discovery would lie with an expert.
The thing is"—he looked at her anx
iously notwithstanding the studied
calmness of his manner, there was a
strange inexplicable fear! almost no
ticeable beneath his tones—"will you
trust that check to me? If so, I will
send it straight up to town in the morn
ing for the advice of one of the best
men in the country."
"Could he find out anything, though,
without having the least clue? You
see, we have not the faintest suspic
ion as to who it Is we have no writ
ing to show or anything of that sort,"
observed Evelyn, with a rather doubt
ful expression.
Certainly there was weight in her
words.
"No—of course not," returned Brown
hurriedly perhaps nobody realized the
truth of her. assertion more vividly
than he. "But
thiB
expert that I
know of is such a wonderfully clever
man that, if anything can be found
out, you may be quite sure that he
will succeed."
"Oh—if you think there is even the
smallest hope, try him, by all means!
Anyhow, it is really the only thing
that can be done and, if it fails"—
Miss Luttrell laughed she was evi
dently not in the least sanguine—"we
can but have recourse to our locks."
"At any rate, you will let my ex
pert have a chance first? Thank you.
Miss Luttrell," was the reply, ac
companied by a glance so full of grat
itude that, had his companion con
ferred the greatest of favors upon
him, it could' scarcely have been re
ceived with more apparent apprecia
tion. "But what «!bout die. check? May
I have it some Upm thuLsvening? in
order to lose no tims, £lbftli tslLe it
myself by the first train In the morn
ing."
"Oh, yes—take It now, if you like!
I shall be only too thankful to get rid
of it I cannot help thinking that
there is something rather uncanny
about it, and that as long as I have
it in my possession the writer of it
will be coming to haunt me. I only
hope, though," she added, as she hand
ed the precious paper into the Ma
jor's charge, "that he will not haunt
you."
'No such luck, I am afraid. Forg
ers are only horribly commonplace be
ings at the best of times. But never
say 'Die,' Miss Luttrell! We shall
succeed—see if we don't!"
With these prophetic words the Ma
jor raised his hat and went slowly
on his way, whilst Evelyn, who was
just on the point of entering Lady
Howard's room, paused and looked
round quickly, her attention having
been arrested by a crunching of the
gravel and a shadow which had sud
denly fallen across her path.
It was Falkland. Evidently he must
have followed almost immediately up
on their footsteps and, as Evelyn
turned and surveyed him, she was in
stantly struck by the deathly white
ness of his face.

FISHED WITH DANIEL WEBSTER
How Crtpt. Pratt Scraped Acquaintance
with the Grodt Statesman.
Ev6ry visitor to Scituate or the
neighboring villages along the shore
and farther inland knows Capt. Pratt,
says the Boston Transcript. He is
among the oldest of the town's inhab
itants, and from an inexhaustible fund
of entertaining stories he relates with
inimitable drollery many amusing hap
penings of a time before the south
shore became a famous resort. It is
counted an important part of the sum
mer's programme nowadays to call on
this old man and hear him narrate
some of the varied experiences of his
ninety years' life. He dearly loves
company, and when the wind is in the
right direction he can be very enter
taining. For more than forty years
he was master of ships that visited all
the ports along the Atlantic coast.
After that he retired to a somewhat
quieter life fishing round the zigzag
shores of his native Massachusetts. He
believes himself to be the only sur
vivor of the company that built the
first Minot's Ledge lighthouse, and, al
though his memory lapses when recent
events are under discussion, he is un
disputed authority on matters relating
to that wonderful undertaking as well
as the disastrous storm that swept it
and its occupants from the earth, when
he was also one of the workmen.
Sitting beneath the apple trees that
shelter his home, with his little grand
daughters at his feet, Capt. Pratt looks
up at the sound of every passing
vehicle and nods and smiles at the
never-failing greeting of "the summer
folk." All of his reminiscences are
worth hearing, but there is one which
he tells with special glee. It relates to
a certain day, long ago, when he was
fishing in his hoat. just ott the shore
with several companions. They an
chored at noon and prepared to feast
upon a fish chowder the cook had
jade,
Just then a rowboat appeared,
-Jling two men in rough attire.
yty asked for bait, which was
if
if. ptly handed over the side, and as
started away the hospitable cap
tain mentioned the chowder, and in
vited the strangers to come aboard and
join the hungry company. They ac
cepted readily and ate with a keen ap
preciation of the savory dish. "They
do say," remarked one of the fisher
men, "that Dan'l Webster brags about
the chowders he makes over to Ma'sh
field. I don't believe he could hold a
candle to this one. Why, it's the best
chowder I ever eat!" "Daniel Webster
thinks so, too!" came in thundering
tones from,the man who had borrowed
the bait. "Sure enough," says Capt.
Pratt, after a series of chuckles, "it
was the great statesman sitting on a
pile of rope and holding an empty tin
plate in his hands. We were all stirred
up, you better believe, but he enjoyed
the joke. He and I were great friends
after that, and many's the fine luck at
mackerel fishing we've had together."
An Idea About Money.
Two men were recently looking at
the new mint building, at Seventeenth
and Spring Garden streets, and one of
them spoke of the fact that in the
vaults are stored 65,000,000 silver dol
lars. His companion made the state
ment that he would be willing to un
dertake the job of carrying the coin
home in his pockets and hands if al
lowed to keep it He claimed that he
could readily do it in one year. His
bouse is about one mile distant from
the mint The other man doubted his
ability to carry out the contract, and
they computed the matter, allowing 10
trips a day as a fair average. As about
20 coins would weight a pound it was
agreed that 1,000 coins a trip would be
the limit, thus giving a load of fifty
pounds. This would make 65,000 trips,
or at the rate specified It would take
6,500 days. The would-be coin-carrier
now has a better idea of the number
represented by the figures and his
poorer opinion of his own guessing
abilities.—Philadelphia Record.

U. S. SENATOR? ROACH
Says Peruna, the Catarrh Cure,
Gives Strength and Appetite. -a
Hon. W. N. Roach. United States Senator from North Dakota.
Hon. W. N. Roach, United States Senator from North Dakota, personally
endorses Peruna, the great catarrh cure and tonic. in a recent letter to The
Peruna Medicine Company, at Columbus, Ohio, written from Washington, D. C.,
Senator Roach says:
"Persuaded by a friend, have used Peruna as a tonic, and am
glad to testify that It has greatly helped me in strength, vigor and
appetite. have been advised by friends that it Is remarkably effica
cious as a cure for th,~ almost universal complaint of catarrh."
Senator Roach's hoi address is Larimore, North Dakota.
Peruna is not a guests, nor an experiment it is an absolute, scientific cer
tainty. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Peruna has no substitute:
no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. Let no one persuade you that some othe?®§...
