About aii hour afterward Ilenri deliv

tocdad bar for *o d-':to risk the Joor
ney to the Slorthern »p. She waa not
prompted by love or pity, by affection or
charity, but the idea had the charm of
danger aad of romance ahwc it. She
waa not a romantic woman, but her llf*
had been one of very even tetxr lately,
and the excitement of th* venture thrill
ed her already.
Ool. Adam* had recovered so far that
the doctors had given permission tn hav*
him removed to the residence of friend
in the country sum* forty or fifty mile*
from Richmond, where the greater quiet,
and the air undcfiled by the rklnlty of
Chickahominy swamps, would hasten hi*
restoration to complete health and activ
ity.
1%e colonel was to be sent there on
the following day, and Ilelene was to ac
company him. Where na excuse is to be
found for anything, a woman ia sure to
be able to fashion one. Helene arranged
with Ool. Adama to go with him to hia
friend's residence, and then to return to
Richmond for the purpose of superin
tending certain household affairs. The**,
«be
Mid,
would occupy about a week.
Adama readily consented. Helen* had
become dearer to him every day, and
from regarding her a* a daughter, hia
frcHog bad changed to an affection of a
different kind, and be hoped end longed
for the day when be would dare to ask
her to become his wife.
His attention* had become more mark
ed, aad Helene wa* glad of the oppor
tunity to escspe them. The excuse of
the journey to Richmond gave her time
•to go to the federal camp, and return if
her myoterloa* guide tied protector could
*o arrange. She, therefore, wrote a note
a* follow*:
"I go with the colonel to Columbia (he
day after to-mcrrow, and shall be free to
meet you on Monday or Tuesday next at
any place you may appoint. Kindly send
me your instructions, and I will implicit
ly follow them."
She inclosed this little noes hi an en
velope, and sent Sue with
to give
it
it
to the camp
to Henri. The next morning
she received the following reply, brought
to her by Henri:
"if you can arrange to be at Ashland
on Tuesday evening next, the 24th in
stant,' about eevsn o clock, I will meet
yoa at Crockett's tavern, and I will then
comply with yoar wish. Will you also
do me the favor to ask the colonel tor
s week's leave for the bearer of this
note?"
Helene had no difficulty In obtaining
the requisite permit for Henri. She did
sot eras mention who the soldier was.
Adam* wa* only too happy that' ah*
should ask him for anything, ao matter
what, aad be granted her request with
out a question of why or who.
Whan the young Frenchman came to
Quayle'* room* and brought him Helene's
reply, agraaing to meet him at the ap
pointed place, Qoayle for the first time
felt a shiver creep through him, and a
repagaaace which be had not known bo
Car* chilled hi* blood.
"Bah!" he said to himself. "It is not
a nics job, but it has to be done. Be
sides—who kaows? I may bs able to
get that sweep to do it for me. Ah! Mr.
Rodbert Beriaqaay," he aaid, "yoa don't
know how much nearer you are to-day
t» thosa trillions of Mademoiselle Holme
than yen were yesterday. When this
job is over Dixieland will know me no
more, nor Yankeedom either. It'll b*
"Ho, for old England!' And I shall be
glad to get back to London. 1*11 hare a
hotter chance this time with one hundred
thousand pounds in my pocket."
Quayle'* plan wa* fiendishly simple.
After meeting Helene oa Tuesday even
ing at Ashland, a village about eighteen
tuiles to the northwest of Richmond, be
would take her southeast, outside of the
picket* ot both armie*, to a ruined hnt
in a field not far from the Union line* at
Beaver Dam creek.
He had provided himself with a couple
of short, but very heavy, revolver*, car
rying bullets of the Southern army pat
tern. He had also secured a small vial
filled with a powerful narcotic, which he
Intended to mix witb the water Helens
would be given to drink.

"Several year* ago I took n late
train from Boston to New York." aaid
a man in business In Kansas City. "In
the morning I waa awakened earlier
than usual by the porter, who said
that a robbery bad been committed on
the deeper during the night and that
all the passengers would have to get

from the clothing of a gentleman who
occupied a berth In the middle of th*
car. Every section bad been takes
before we left Boston, and as the train
bad been almost constantly in motion
it teemed certain that the person who
had committed the theft was still on
the car. The porter said ao one had
beea aboard but the passengers, and
that none of them bad left It was
proponed to search everybody. A man
who bad a berth directly opposite from
tbe eaa who bad beea robbed, object
ed. He told his name and aaid any
one might easily ftnd that he was a
man of coed refutation. In the moan
time tome officers boarded the car. and
after a little sweating got the money
from tbe entity one. Then tbe pas

asked the officers to examine his pock

aid or abet them in the game, by which
is meant the umpire and referee and

The Wife-Beaters.
President Roosevelt's pronouncement
an the question of wife lasting I* bear
ing fruit here snd there. Representative
Wing of Michigan offers a bill making it
obligatory on the sheriffs of the comities
to %ieid the cat-o'-nine-tail* on the bare
backs of wife beeters when they shall
have been convicted of a second offense.
Two days later conservative, ethical,
cultured Boston msde s bid for fame
when Senstor E. B. Callender of that
city introduced a bill in the upper House
making wife beaters amenable to the
lash. In addition to the clause permit
ting the use of the lash the bill reads
that "any male person who beats, bruise*
or mutilates his wife or other female,
unless* by sccident or in self-defense,
shall be fined $10." There Is considera

hill making baaing a crime punishable
by imprisonment of *ix months snd a fine
of $300. It is significant that the anti
hasing aentiment i* not confined to th*
legislator* who hail from the rural dis
tricts. Neither bill may become law, bat
they will not be scoffed out of court.
Wisconsin has a grudge against the
corn shredder because of the great cum
ber of fingers, arms and legs it has
lopped off in the last year or two. Rep
resentative Lyon, who is leading the anti
shredder forces, hs* gathered statistics
showing that 820 meu were badly maim
ed last season la Wisconsin slone, and
thst two men lost their lives while op
erating shredder*. His bill require* great
safeguards for users of these machines.
Missouri, slways to be reckoned with
when novelties of statesmanship are ia
order, may become fsmons for the be
ginning of the end el "tipping." Dr.
AJonxo Tubha of Gancaaade county baa
introduced in the House a bill which
nukes it a misdemeanor "punishable by
a fine ef not more than $500 to tip' a
waiter, chef or steward at any hotel, cafe

croshod
and placed in
cold
water about bait of tbe eulid matter
waa dlasolved. When the oyster waa
placed uncrnsited in the earae medium
one-fourth of it* solid matter was die
solved. It Is believed thst If tbe oyster
be chewed mora thai! half of It is dis
solved in tbe mouth. Cold water sp
peora to be tbe beat thing to drink
witb oysters.
What are the solids of the oyster?
They are the proteid* corresponding
to the lean of meat or tue white of
an egg, fat, starchy matters and gly
cogen. This last means the substance
which toe liver manufactures for fn
tore use. It is very like sugar, and
when wanted for use Is changed into
sugar. It Is the substance which make*
the oyster aweet in the mouth.
But there are other valuable con
stituents of the oyster—what are
called the plycero-phosphorie cons
pounds. Medical men prescribe theaa
for Improving the nervous system, ao
that a diet of oysters Is unquestion
ably good for the nerves. Whey alao
contain common salt, a little copper
and several phosphates. And taking
the whole contents of the oyster shell,
one finds almost everything necessary
for the food of the body.—Chicago
Chronicle.
