Half fainting with terror, she was 'borne along and forced into another closed car- riage, where she sank among the cush- ions, utterly overcome by terror. The carriage started, and sire felt herself borne swiftly onward through the dark- neea--whither, she dared: not even guess -tsbs felt herself in the power of un- serupulous ruffians, and she prayed for speedy death as for the least evil that could befall her. Intense terror takes no account of time. It seemed to her that she had been driven through the darkness for an eternity of anguish, when suddenly the gallop of horses was heard, a pistol was fired, torches blazed around the carriage, and a sonorous voles cried out: "atop, villains, on your lives!" At the earns moment the heads of the horses were eeiaed, and the driver, as if struck with panic, sprang from the box and fled. "This is deliverance! Oh, thank hea- ven!" cried Lady Etheridge, nearly swooning under the strong reaction of feeling. The carriage door was then opened, and a nail, dark, military -looking man, holding. a torch in his hand, appeared, and, bowing respectfully, hoped that the young lady was uninjured. "Oh, quite, thank you," replied Rose, still too strongly agitated to require an explanation of this unexpected deliver- ance. "The miscreants have fled, young lady -neven the fellow that was upon the box; but if you will kindly tell us where you wish to be driven, I will gladly performs the duty of your coachman."

The j candle burned low, ;,Dol the shadows of Ithe vast room grew darker and darker. In her excited reverie, her eyes were fix- ed absently upon the door of a closet on the left of the fireplace. While gazing abstractedly upon this door, it seemed to move a little outward, and though she believed that her senses had deceived her she shuddered with a vague fear, and kept her eyes fixed upon the door. It swung half open; she hoped the motion might have been caused by the wind, yet her heart stood still in doubt and terror -only for a moment, when the figure of a tall, stout man, wrapped in the volum- inous folds of a black cloak, and having his fate covered with a black mask, emerged from the closet, and advanced Iinto the room. Lady Etheridge shrieked, and started toward the door with the impulse of fly- ' lug .

There was a supreme moment during the bat- tle of Waterloo when the Duke of Web lington was left absolutely alone -and that not when he was running the risk of capture by sailing through the en- emy's lines. It simply meant that every galloper had gone his way, each with his message. At this moment a stranger rode up to the Duke and quietly asked: "Can I be of any use, sir?" The Duke took one glance at him, and unhesitatingly an- swered: "Yes, take this pencil note to the commanding officer," pointing to a regiment in the heat of the battle. The stranger took the note and galloped away with it, through the thick of the fight. He delivered it, but what hap- pened to him no man knows, The Duke always declared that to be one of the most gallant deeds that had ever come under his notice, It was done without prospect of acknowledgment or reward, and neither attended its successful ac- complishment. -Evening Standard.

GSI iL s"�, O ims SCHOOL OLD RIDDLES OF THE SEXES, In a new play on a very old pattern the fair heroine falls in lova with a hunchback jester. This revives the old but perenially interesting question -what are the quali- ties in a man most attractive to the opposite sex? The best and noblest o i women fall in love as a rule through the imagination rather than the senses, and are more susceptible to what they be- lieve to be there than to what they see. Thus, a golden voice is more alluring than a handsome appearance, while a physical infirmity may raise the feeling of maternal tenderness, which is one of the greatest of feminine charms. Perhaps the most irresistible con- queror is the silent hero, the man of deeds, not words, whom one can endow with so many secret virtues.

The Appalachian and White mountain forest reserve projects belong to that great class of measures' which everyone knows to be deserving but which stand only a poor chance of early adoption. The arguments in favor of the forest re- serves are of general application. Gov- ernment control of such tracts prevents wasteful lumbering, secures a timber sup- ply for the future, safeguards the wa- tersheds from freshets, increases the value of water powers, protects against forest fires and is in every way a wise and far-sighted policy.
