the wouudesi man, pawing fainter

"Wonts. the row, masters," inquired
a countryman who lued quietly come
up.
"A gentleman has been shot by
burglar while pursidag the miscreent.
And 1 want help to take nim to the

exclaimed the captain.
"Here I am at your service, master.

I wee passing the high road near the

"Of course not. Only lend a hand

"Certainly. Master, if you'll support

"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

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. And we called him, and
searched for him all over the house,
bet he was certainly gone."

"Have you any suspeetem as M who

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

Is a carpenter and his family by the

"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

"Colonel Brierly," said Captain

"do you venture te express a doubt of

"I do."
"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,

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

"It is the ground. It is it solitary

boy, except as a means of capturing

men, engaged itt. the burglary.

tense of seeking,the boy for the pur-
pose of entering him as a resident pu-
pil In one of the public charity boaad-
ing-schools for boys, made many en-
quiries concerning Benny.
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

THE KAISER'S FUTURE.
(Toronto Star)
Many guesses, either humorous or 111 -
natured, are being made In the news-
Panere as to what will become of She
Kaiser after he is defeated and depos-
ed. If we were to offer a guess it would
be that he will escape to a British man -
of -wars at the last moment, ask for and
be granted refuge in England, buy a du-
cal estate there, and presently send a
grandson to Parliament,
LEARN, TO LET GO.
(Minneapolis Journal)
When we seem to be suffering great
loss—of position. of persons dear and
apparently Indispensable. of youth, of
middle age, yea, even of what appears
to be Ilfe itaelf—think again that we as
they come, Bo we should be equally as
wise to let things go as they depart and
take heart. The universe Is big enough
to provide new and untried fields where
our reluCtant feet are now due to tread.

Pellagra and Stable Flies.
It is now generally supposed that
pellagra is carried by some biting in-
sect and the buffalo gnat, among oth-
ers, has been suspected. Investigations
recently carried on in Spartantsurg
burg eounty, S.C., by the United States
Bureau of Entomology, and the
Thonapson-MeFadden Commission of
the New York Post -Graduate Medical
School, practically exclude the possi-
bility of transmission by the buffalo
gnat, but tend strongly to show the
possibility of transmission by the sta-
ble fly, already known to be the car-
rier of several other diseases.
SMITH GOT WISE.
A sore corn, ese said, was bed enough,
but to have it stepped on was the
limit. He invested in a bottle of Put-
nam's Painless Corn Extractor, and
now wears a happy smile. Corn is

MUST GIVE AND T,4KE.
(Ottawa Free PreaS)
This war is not going to be ell cracIters
and cheese for us either on the land or
on the sea. It would be absurd to sup-
pose that we can win every fight every
day against a foe of such strength, sucn
thoroughness, and such enterprise. We
must expect the other . side to score at
least a few touchdowns and do everything
possible to prevent them being converted.
$o far from getting the blues over a
comparatively unimportant defeat, let us
regard it az something of a blessing in
disguise and be thankful that the bloW
was not worse. Nothing coald be .more
disastrous to the British nation than

THE NEW WIFE
And the Danger in Training Her
as a Fighter.
woman was charged with assaulting
her Itusbaad. She told the Cierlonwell
Magistrate 'Lassa the trouble was caused
by the husband's resentment at her re-
fusal to go out and fight a man who
had "given him the sack," relates the
London Daily Mail.
When long ago, were first defined
The duties of the marriage state.
We know that woman was designed
To be a helpmeet to her mate.
13ut though to tend him she was sent
• And cherish him while life exists,
We cannot find that she was meant
To fight the battles with her fists.
Yet now, when through a hated foe
Of his own sex he's "seeing red,"
A men expects his wife to go
And punch the other fellow's head.
But Benedicks had better mind,
Who'd send avenging wives to roam.
Lest female "bruising" they should find.

PILES CURED AT HOME BY

of the depression in basiness. Ile

A GLOOMY PROSPECT.
(Philadelphia. Record.)
If the Germans should be pushed back
to the Rhine we presume they will make
no effort to derend Cologne, for fear
French shells might damage its great
cathedral. Louvain and Rheims show
how aollcitous the Kaiser's troops are
to preserve these great architectural
Wonders of mediaeval days. Doubtless
there are many other German cities

ion, would be given up without a shot
for similar reasons.. But will those bar-

A restdent of Vevey, Switeerland,
died setae years ago and left a will,
in which, be bequeathed the whole of
his property, of which he Was sup-
posed to have a large amount, to the
"local hospital of the town." There
being two local medical charities—
the town hospital and the Hospice de
Samaritan—a suit at law was entered
by the former in order to decide Its
right to the legacy, After a consid-
erable expense had been incurred the

THE PARENTS' DUTY,

'Vice commissions and antagambang pea,

wreckage and waste. It ia the province
of parents, however, to see that their
children do not get near the great ansi

There is room in our society for the good

Habits of the Cuckoo.
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

It Is patriotism first; but It is more.
It is the Crusade It is the uprising of
an honest blood against the thing which
all free civilization has learned to loathe
like a vampire; the conscienceless ruth-
less, godless might of a self-eentred mil-
itarism, to which honor is * word, chiv-
alry it weakness, and bullying aggression
the breath of life. It is to fight that,
and to stamp it flat, that Canada, Aus-
tralia, and New Zealand, South Africa
and Newfoundland are giving to our
cause the Inestimable aid described by
the King; are sending men, material and
supplies to the war in Europe, and pre-
paring to shoulder whatever isew burdens
the hour may seem to demand.

volution of Wall Paper.
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.
