No wonder that, when he got to the boat, he just fell down faiating without a word. ie never spoke to me of this himself, except once, when he toldneof the hor- rible anxiety of wanderingamong the (lark lanes of the suburb, not knowing whether he had lost his way or not, and conatantly expecting to fall into sbroe deep hole, or hear, behind him the yell of a pursuing crowd. "God led MC out of it," he said quite " I had nothing in the world te tell me if I was going right or mat." "What would you have done if you had been caught?" "Why,.

We had no doctor on board, and we had to do the best we could for him till we put in at Brisbane—the nearest Australian port in those days.

' , Siag Wei hardly ever Left him. 1 I thought when first he came to be At- tended to, that no man—not even a Chinaman—could suffer what he had gone through an: live. Yet in three. days or less he was in Donald's cabin, and thenceforth•watched beide him day and night, like a dog. If th re was any- thing to be done, he was remarkably - quick and ready m doing rt1 as soon as he understood what it was ; at other times he would be content I to sit there for hours without moving, in his dumb, patient faithfulness. And when he knew that Donald had turned the corner and was indeed coming back to health, his devotion was, if anything, redoubled. It seemed as if Donald MarriottWere his •!,.. one idea of life. - "Tell me," I heard him say one even- ing, when I stopped at the cabin door to see whether Donald was asleep; " tell me who is the god you worship, for 1 win have no other." That ' fetched" me somehow, and - I could not help re- peating iIl to Ezra Johns. e whistled, and remarked oracularly, "Wal !" 1 , They hadn't a dollar between then when they landed at Brisbane hut I managed to lend Marriott enotegl; mon y to take up a bush location, When he was .strong eneugh to go up country, mid' they entered on the settler's life as part- ners. It was a qneer enough beginning, no doubt, but they_did well. • Marriot was not ambitious of large pins or _wild speculations'and he had a careful arid thriftyman by his side to prevent hini from giving away his chances wheii th4y came; and wasting the " mony littl s that mak the rniekle." I1got my i ' vestment back—with interest, too, if , I had'eared to accept it—within it reason- able time, ,and Donald found himself, before the end of his life, quite as pro- perous as he ever cared to be. I think he was easily satisfied in that direction. It was , some time beTore 1 ha.ppen d- in at Foo -Chow again. When I did, I looked up Donald's employer, the t a merchant, and told him the 'whole stor I found he was much exercieed about hie favorite clerk's disappearance (Donald had written from Australia; but his let- ter failed to reaah him), and had taken refuge in two alternative theoriei—one, that he had ventured tuaarrned into the iaterior and been murdered; the other, that he had "gone off his head" tie, thing thet ld gentleman, by -the -by, halt been very fond of prophesying) add drowned himself. When he heard the trae state of the case, three remarkable results ensued. First- he awore hard, then he laughed, then he was seized with a sudden cold in hie head, and slimed great 'dissatisfaction with his spectacles. And this is the story I told young Morgan the other night. ----,Gla - gow Weekly Citizen. , • Tricks of Thieves. Thieving as a trade, is not restricted , to any particular season. It adapts it- self to all times and all places. Where - ever honest men go, and for, whatever purpose, the thief is sure: to follow-. He cannot live without ; them. He drifts always with the crowd. Whatever, therefore, hapipene to be "the go," it finds him on hand. He at- tends fashionable weddings and funerals with the same heroic impartiality with which he goes to the circus . parade, al- ways gotten up to befit the occasion. In the excursion season he is a regular customer 011 the river and Sbund bOa0, aad a great companion of Ansuepecting travellers ; on the ocean, full of valuable information about the thinge worth see- ing ashore. Before the toorist crowd , ruturns,h. is busy at this euVl, d i Seel:Mt- jug the expect:diens of waitiug frienda. Tit August and September he makes the rounds of "the evenue" in the guise of. a custom -house messenger, with bilk) for packages from the other side that await claimants in the public storeS. The money is nearly always promptly PM:d. ler this custonhhouse man is a Most plausible fellow—more than ever since civil service gave him la " cha race ter "—end full•of charming Ik`aYs• in 4 certain house uptown where he called last fall and collected. $9.9S on oue oif his bogus bills, finding the piano open, he sat down and played. -"1\;earer, My God, to Thee," while the lady was up- 8tairs getting the money, with so much feeling that listeners were delighted. and flatly refused 'to believe 'him a thief when no package turned up. They in- sisted. and probably to this day believe that there was isosne mistake, though their caller goes around lin Sing 'ting now in a striped suit. 'Their is a mean- er development of thjs kind that wears a jumper and poked his head in at the door the minute an express package has been delivered, and before the servant has had time to examine it, with a "13eg pardon,' ma'am ! The driver !left he wrong packag,e. I will take it and bring the right one back. The uhsuspecting driver is half a block away .by that time, but his bogus helper is much fur- ther away before the fraud. is discovered and vain pursuit is made. Perhaps .the cheekiest thief is the one who makes a 'business of following coal -carts to their destination, restaurants or saloons by preference, assuming an air - of au- thority. there and bossing- the driver around until the latter thinks him I con- nected with the store, the storekeeper With the coal business. Then he col- lects the driver's receipts, talks' coal with the slorekeeper, gets them cashed, and lights out in time. 1, The professional -looking tiiief, who calls at physicians' houses int the ab- sence of the doctor "for a consultation," -thinks it strange his colleague is not in and tarries to write a note, incidentally stealing what is ,handy when the ser- vant leaves the office,. has lately re- ceived a setback in his business. New York -doctors, having paid heavily for their kni)wledge, have finally "dropped." on him. I He has had tO come down to robbing small boys carrying" kindles in the street. In that:role he is always in a hurry. "Here, sonny," is his favor- ite sa aitation, "take this quarter and run with this letter while I hold your bundle. You will find me here when you come back:" Sonny, glad to earn a quarterthat is not clown on the sched- ule; runs off with the letter, but doesn't find the thief on his return. One of. that gang got nicely sold the other da. For -fifteen cents he got a bundle of waste paper neatly done up in a pack- age which a washerwoman's boy was carrying home. The boy didn't waste much time looking for his patron. Storekeepers have a hard time of it with thieves w -ho rush in firm the street shouting that, some one is outside rob- bing the storekeeper's wagon. While he sruns out the thief robs the till. .'Where- Nvaluable goods, such as jewelry' or watches; are displayed in the window, the thieves at times adopt the other ex- pedient of locking the storekeeper in. They tie the dooron the outside with rope, then smash the window with a brick and skip with the gold while the proprietor is getting! blue in the -face shaking the door inside and yelling mur- der. If the victim is a Dutch grocer, and a little thick-headed, they come the molasses trick on him. • That is, a very tunny trick for everybody except the grocer. Two of the thieves go to hii store laughing, carrying their hats IM their bands, and to tell bim that they have a bet as to whose hat will carry the most molasses. • He is to decide by filling upente. But it will ruiteehehat ! Never mind; the winner can pay for a new one. So the grocer. pours in the molasses. As he turns to make change for a quarter tiee hat is clapped dexthre ously ofl his head from behind, and while, blinded and half smOthered, he gropes about in the sticky morass, his till is robbed.—New York, Mail and Express. , "Turn My Easel to the 'Wall For I Am Done With It."

The other day a very dainty young woman in black, with a mourning veil— not too mourning, just about mourning enough—so draped as to tfet off her ,shapely head and neck to advantage,len- tered a large stationerytore .on Wash- ington street, and said sweetly to a clerk behind the counter: , "Do you have all kinds of mournihg cards ?" Yes'm ; we have the cards, and ;can get them engraved for you," " Oh, I don't want the kind they get engraved—I want playink cards, yoe know." , "Mourning playing cards !" 1 • "Why, yes, don't you think they would be real nice and tasty ?" The clerk was obliged to confess that the trade hadn't yet reached the point of supplying playing cards with mourning borders for bereaved lovers of whist and drp.w-Oker, and the lady leftrthe store visibly disappointed. 1 An Industrious Boy.

It is not atall likely that he got to the office five or fifteen minutes late three mornings in the week, or just got inside the door every morning at the last possible minute.
