No offense, I hope?" "Of course not. Only lend a hand here," "Certainly. Master, if you'll support the gentleman's head and shoulders. 111 support his legs." "Yes, that wile do," said Captain Faulkner. And between them they raised the wounded and groaning man and. bore him gently on toward the cottage. The whole house was lighted, up now, as if light was the very best pro- tection against hidden dangers. And all the members of the little family, mother, nurse, and little chil- dren, hall dressed and half frightened, were assembled in the front hall. Seeing them standing in the blaze of the gaslight, as he drew near with his burden, Captain Faulkner called out: "Is it the robber?" inquired Mrs. Faulkner, hastening out to the gate to meet them, and fully believing that Captain Faulkner and Colonel Brierly bad wounded and captured the burg- lar, and were bringing him home in triumph. "But, good Heaven! It is the colonel himself!" exclairo.ed Molly, as she re- cognized the wounded man. "Yee, ray dear lady, it is I. And the scoundrel has done for me, I do be- lieve," groaned the Colonel, as they bore him into the house. "Oh, come now, master! Not so bad as that, neither,' said the country- man cheerfully. They carried him to his own cham- ber and laid him on his bed, and then began carefully to undress him. alley found the wound in his leg already al- most stanched by the clotting of the blood. They bound it up as it was, until they could procure the services of a surgeon. "Now where is Benny? I must send that boy for Or. Herby at once," said the captain. "Oh, Charley, dear, lem sure I for- got to tel you! I was so shocked at eceing the colonel wounded that I for- got all aboutsthat boy," said Mrs. Faulkner, who was standing by the colonel's bed. °What about it, Molly?" inquired the eaptain. "Oh, Charley, he's gone!" "Gone!" "Yes; run away!" "Are you sure?" "Oh, Charley, dear, yes. As soon as you ran out in, the lane we were all frightened at.not having a man in the house at such a dreadful time, and we all went together to Benny's room to call him, and we found that he was not there.

"Have you any suspeetem as M who were the parties that rennet your house, Captain Faulkner?" inquired Bye Inspector. "Not the sliglitest suspicion as to the identity of anyone among them except the boy. It is certain that he openee the door to the burglars," answered the captain. "Where is the boy?" "He ran away with the thieves after the robbery. I thought I had men- tioned. that." • "No, you had not. And. it is im- portant. You know the boy, and yeti do not know the other?" "Exactly." "Do you happen to know any of the boy's friends, associates or haunts?" "No; he is an orphan and I got him from the workhouse last spring. Yet, stay! Yes, 1 do know some of his friends and places of resort, er rather I know of one of each." "Let us hear what you know, if you please, captain." "He made some friends that he visits IneLondon, called—let me see—a curi- ous name—Beech?—Hazel?—Pine? No —Juniper? That's it—euniper! There Is a carpenter and his family by the name of Juniper. They live in the yard behind the—the—the Victoria?—no— the Thespian Temple Theatre.". "Oh, yes; I )now. And they have a girl named Suey—a pretty little danc- ing girl?" , "That's it! 'Suzy'—a friend of Benny's; though I didn't know she was - a dancing girl. Benny spent his half holidays with her. She Is the only friend he has in the world, as far as I know." "We must watch the stage carpen- ter's family. We shall probably there- by light upon Master Benny, and through him discover the perpetrators of this daring robbery. In the mean- time, also, we shall set our moat ex- perienced detentives on their tracks," said the inspector. And then he asked Captain Faulkner a number of other question, to which he received some satisfactory and some unsatisfactory answers. And then he gave his client a nuni- ber of valuable hints, all tending to- ward the discovery of the rimbers. And finally, as it was now broad daylight, the captain arose and took his•leave. When he returned to Woodbine Cot- tage he found the colonel in a deep, wholesome sleep. "The doctor says he will be all right in a. week or ten days, if he will keep quiet and abstin, from stimulants," said Molly, as she met her "dear Char- ley" in the hall. "The devil himself can't make the colonel do that," replied the captain. Then he went in to breakfast. "And only thing, Charley, dear," said Molly, as they sat down to the table, "the horrid burglars have taken away all our electro -plate service, and we have got to use the tin coffee pot from the kitchen." "Never mind, Molly!" Revenge is sweet! This happened all through the treachery of that little serpent, Benny! But we will have him in limbo before a week is over our heads. You'll see," said the captain. "I did not." "Nor I," 41111Wereel eetieriele "Did mime?" persisted the eolonel. It appeared that no one had heard the captain declare for 'Miss," tholiSh several suggested, that the Captain Might have spoke, though they lied Ire hearil him.

"Sir!" exclaimed the captain, chaug- lag color, "I do meet distillate assert that I doubt your veracity, Captatn Faulk - Vie," scorafully repeated the colonel. A murmur of disapprobation passed around the table. "Colonel Brierly, there is but one answer a gentleman can inake you," Said Captain Faulkner, turning deadly Pale, as he threw down, his cares, *apse, and left the table. "Let hira go," said the colonel de - Bandy. "And uow, gentlemen, to our game. I take 'miss.' Fitz -John, it is your lead." "Tha.nas, I shall not play," said Fitz -John, an innocent young Bohem- ian enough, but with a lion's heart to back a friend, and he laid down his cards, left the table and followed Faulkner, whom he considered to have been insulted without just cause. He overtook the captain in the hall Outside, "Faulkner, yoa have Dem grossly end unwarrantably insulted. I3rierlf la a bully and a coward, And what- ever you mean to do, I ss.ua with you," he said, drawing the captain's arm within his own. "Thanks, my dear Fritz. I knew you would be with me, and I meant to have sent for you, Tbanas, dear 014 fellow, for your prompt anticipa- tion of my wishes," said the captain, with enaotion. "What do you intend to do?" inquir- ed the YoUng man. "My dear Fritz, what but one thing can a gentleman do under such cir- cumstances? Come with me into the coffee room. We can find a private corner somewhere there at this hour," replied the captain. They went togetiaer to the coffee room and found a table In a box, at which they sat down. Captain Faulkner called for writing materials, which were supplied to him, "You will go to the scoundrel on my part, my dear Fitz -John, and demand from him a retraction of his words, add a public apology for the public insult he has offered me. Should he refuse, then demand from aim the last and only satiefaction he can give me. Tbat he dare not refuse." "No, the miscreant! because he know a he is a dead shot," thought the young man, as he went away upon his errand, Captain Faulkner called for cigars and sat smoking and waiting for the return of his messenger. - Half an hour passed, and Fitz - John itz- John returned and reseated himself at the table, looking very grave. "Well," inquired the captain. "The scoundrel Is stupid and stub. born. He absolutely refused to re- tract his words, although every man at the table with one exception, en- treated him to do so," replied Fitz - John. "The villain! I expected this. Of course, you told him of the only other alternative." "No, 1 did not. I am with you, as I said, Faulkner, and whatever you do I will see you through it. But 1 thought, before giving your challenge, I would come back to you once more. You have a wife and children, Faulk- ner, and—that Internet rascal is a. dead shot," said young Fitz -John very gravely. "I know, I know. Poor Molly! poor babes! But a man's honor should be dearer to him than wife of children, Fitz -John.. You will, therefore, take my challenge to that fellow, and ask him to name some gentleman on hie own part to act with you in arranging the details of the meeting." Young Fitz -John once more entreat- ed the captain to consider well before going further in an affair of so grave a character. But Faulkner was firm of purpose. "You know," he said, "that I am no professed duelist; so far from being one, I have never in my life been en- gaged, either as principal or second, recommended her, in case of his death, to seek the protection of her father for herself and her young family. He concluded with sending ten -der mes- sages to his children, and he signed himself her "Poor Charley." In a postscript he begged her, if she could ,possibly avoid it, not to prose- cute Benny. He folded, sealed, and directed this letter, and gave it in charge of Fitz - John, saying: "rt I should fall, Fitz, you will.take in any hostile meeting. Besides, 1 love my wife and children—" Here the captain's voice broke down, and his face turned pale. "But a man can- not pass over an insult such as I have reeeived. You know it, Fitz -John. Now go, good fellow, and deliver my challenge.' "To the worst man and the best shot in England!" eighed the young man, as he went upon his fatal errand. Captain Faulkner lighted another cigar, and smoked and waited. He waited a full hour, and at the end of which Fitz-Johe once more entered the box, and seated himself at the table, looking even graver than be- fore, "Is it arranged?" inquired Faulkner in a low voice. "Yes," replied Fitz -John. "Do you know a place called Devil's Dyke, dowse tat the south wain, near Brighton?" 'flee captain burst int() a loud, harsh laugh. Fitz -John looked shocked and in- quisitive. "I was ohly thinking what a deuced appropriate name that Is for the ground upon whieh a thiel Is to be fought, if it is a groUnd, Is it?"

But he was unable to learn anything of the present whereabouts of the Missing boY. Meanwhile, Captain Faulkner, through his unfortunate intimacy with Colonel Brierly, was relapsing into his former bad habits. Both were hard drinkers, and since their friendship was of a most uncer- tain quality, a careless word or an in- sulting jest Might at any moment break the bond that bound these bone vivants together. The "impending crisis" came at last. The occasioii was a little supper given by a literary Bohemian at the Red Lion Inn, Strand. There were about half a dozen gen- tlemen present, among whom wile Colonel Brierly. The supper was over, and the wine was circulating very freely, when Brieely proposed a game of too. The table was Inimediately Cleared, and the carde were brought.

"I beg your pardon, but I have tak- en 'mise,'" said Captain Faulkner, whose turn Was before that et Colianel "Why didn't you say that before, then?

It is giute it mistake to suppose that the cuckoo neglects her egg after she has depoalted it in the nest of another bird, declared Oliver G. Pike, in a lecture at the Camera Club. The cuckoo kept a Watchful eye upon her treasure and ehould any accident befall It she laid an- other egg in another nest. Mr. Pike said he believed, although it Was inasos- slble to prove it, that the cuckoo laid its eggs In the nest of a bird of the same species as that by which it had itself been reared. Thus a cuckoo rear- ed by a sedge warbler laid its egg an turn In a sedge warbler's nest. So wonderful was the spel which the young cucko exercised over other birds that he had seen other birds other thn its foster parents pause in their flight to feed lt, glivng it the food which ws intended for their own young, and once he saw aa young cucko fed by birds of five differs ent species In auccessIon.—London Spec- tator. 4 • 4.

Wall hangings have been used for the covering up and embellishment of wall sureaces from the earliest times, Probably the first of the kind were skins of beasts. Then with the introduction of weaving came woolen and fibrous cloths, plain or embel- lished by needlework or painting. - says the Practical Decorator. Leath- er was a further development, doubt- less originally suggested by the, ne- cessity of keeping out drafts and colds in the rudely -fashioned buildings of early date, and the dwellers its tents ueed and still use them for tine pur- pose, as ie exemplified at the present day by the nomadic tribes of the Sou- dan. The necessity for cheaper mater- ial than Was in current use was evi- dently- felt, as no sooner was paper invented than it was used for the pur- pose of wall decoration. The first Wall papers were intro- duced into Etiglaad by William of Orange, and the first attempt at their manufacture in that country followed immediately. They were, of course, made in sheets, as the ability to make parser in continuous rolls was not acquired till later. My favored temple is an humble heal t,—Bailey.
