WOOED UNDER FIRE
Where does the passage lead—will
they simply find themselves Among the
baudits, or, with better luck, may they
arrive at some point where an escape
caii be made ? All molten to a g reat
interest in the matter, and, sometimes
people feel more excitement than out-
ward appearances indicate.
Silence no longer broods over this
drams old castle of the prince—loud
shouts eeho through the hells and corri-
dors, for the bandits have been fully
aroused by the late events, and intend
to tear the building down rather than
permit the escape of those who have
treated them so contemptuously.
"Here are some steps," says Sam slid-
denly, and they see lam apparently eink
from view. "Take care, Mims Aileen;
they resemble a ladder more than any-
thing else. It is only a dement of some
seven feet, but a fall would bo serious."
_How eolicitous he is about her wel-
fare, and with what tenderness does he
help her down! Dudley is forced to
gad:A/then he sees his care of her, and
quietly whispers, as he assisto Miss Dor-
othy:
"Quite a gone case, I'm afraid, and as
he had the good fortune to save her life
on Mont Blanc, I suppose Sam has the
inside track, I never coold try to hold
out against him, you know."
To whieh the New England ;spinster
ventures not a word in reply; at an-
other time she would have protested
that nothing short of a duke would be
a fitting mate for the beautiful Cali-
fornia girl, whose millions run up to
nearly half a score; but Mise Dorothy
is not herself—the recent bitter exper-
ience to which the has been subjected
has had a serious effect upon her; and
she hardly feels the same respect for
foreigners who own titles. Slowly the
cure is being radically effected, and. ere
longsshe must realize that a good, hon-
est American gentlemao, even if he is
a plain Mr. instead of His Royal High-
ness, is the best after all.
"A door, by Jovel" annoiuices San.
Ile has discovered it in rather a
much way, for, turning at the moment
to make a remark to Aileen, and con-
tinuing his forward movement at the
same time, he finds himself suddenly
coming against some object that refuses
to give way—tho afore:aid door. Be
grasps the knob and tries it—fastened,
of course. Then he shake's it vigorously,
as though he would prOtost against such
a barrier.
"Let me get at it," romerts the great
Canadian door destroyer; "ldnally give
me room, please."
One glance lute satisfied Dudley that
tho door opens in the other direction,
and he knows he can staid it flying with
a single vigorous kiek. They watch him
with interest, and Sara makes suudry ,
remarks in criticism of his style, all of •
which the other takes good-naturedly,
for it is well nigh impossible to make
MeLtene angry.
He has reason to be proud of his
work, for when in answer to his sum -
Molle, in the shape of a sudden
terrific kick, the door gives way, it is
with a eraah. Nothing bars the path.
The door has shot back on itti hinges,
and crashed against the wall, leaving
the opening elear.
Sam again steps forward.
"Well done, my hearty! I'll recom-
mend you to the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland to lead his constables when -
ejecting tenwits. You beet the record.
What have we here, now?" and. he
crosses the portal, almost immediately
crying: "Keep back, ladies! ihi the name
of Heaven, keep bank—the rascals are
on hand!"
It would seem so, judging from the
cries that break out upon the night
air. One fact is patent to all—they
have reached the outside of the castle,
for above can be seen the stars, and the
moon Is shining around an adamant -
tower. •
It stipmet to be a sort of court they
have reached—beyond lies the gate, and -
the draw -bridge, they remember, is just
outside this. This court, however, has
occupants—men are appearing in it
from various doors and windows, men !
who are armed and delperate, alma,
mean to continue the battle, which, up
tthoen.
tliis time, has gone so hardly against
Sam Buxton has seen something of
adventure' during his roving life, and
can look back on many scenes that
kindle hi a blood, but he does not re-
member a single inotance Where he
seemed to have so much at stake as
now, since Aileen Winchester look to
him for protection.
He has not known her a great while,
but for all that her interests have be-
come very dear to him ,and he stands
ready to strain every nerve in order to
win success
It is a plain ease.
Here are the fugitives, yonder the
gate that leads to freedom, and im.
tween them swarm the ragged bandite..
To gain the exit they must of necessity
come in contact with the rascally band.
When Baron Sam sees a plain duty bo-,
fore him he never beats about the bush.'
He believes in the stern, soldier -like
principles that sent the immortal Light
Brigade into the jaws of death at the
battle of Balaklava:
"Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die."
"Dud," he says, in a strained voiee,
"we must teach them . attother lesson."
"Yes," returns the Cemedian, gloomily
yet 'firmly, for he likes not this butcher 'business, being a peaceable man un-
der ordinary circurnstancee.
"Then suppose we start in before
they have entirely recovered from the
other shock."
"Give the word and. I'll make 'em be.
lieve a Cdnadie,n wolverine hoe broken
loose."
"Now then!"
They might open fire from the en-
trance to the secret passage,. but this is
not Sanas way of doing things,lIe knows
a deiaonstration niuet be madethat will
effectually alarm their foes, giving the
*fugitives a cbanee to open the heavy
gate, lower the draw -bridge and escape.
So the two of them rush into the
court -yard side by side, and with trem-
endous shouts open on the banditti.
The Italians, of course, being taken
by surprise, experience a sort of (1? -

reports of those American revolvers ling

of in history. So these bandettl, having
no genuine encouragement to further ex.
pose themselves, seek the same shelter
that screens their leader's; precieue hide
from the bullets.
Baron Sam hears that voice, and be-
lieving the prime may even fire upon
them while they are crossing the court-
yard with the ladies, he resolves to dis-
lodge the other. With this object in
view, he suddenly rushee to the quarter
whence the valorous shouts have pro -
monied, gaine an angle of the building,
after hearing a bullet sing past his ear,
and catches a glimpse of a fleeing figure
that races like mad; into the- castle,
races with his white mockery of hair
streaming in the air, for the leader of
the Italian banditti,Era Diavola, though
venomous and cruel, is not brave, and
when maamteracling as Colonel Marcheel
he has seen enough of the man from
across the sea to have a decided re-
spect for his abilities as a marksman,
The object that induced this assault
hae now been pretty generally accom-
plished, for the courtyard eeems to be
free cif the enemy, with the exception
of a number who would rather remain
and nurse their wounds.
Back again to the secret passage Sam
flies, still holding the smoking revolver
in leis hand, with which he has jut
done fetich execution.,
"We are ready, Aileen—Mies Dorm
.thy. Follow me," he pants, and they do
not hesitate to obey, as Sam Buxton
catches up an armful of traps and, leads
the way in the direction of the gate.
Me,Lane has seen his intentions and
apeedily follows suit, so that in a min-
ute the little party is hurrying aeroes
the open apace with the object in view
of forever quitting this inhospitable
palace near the Raver Po, where they
have been so badly treated.
They meet with no obstacles, for the
lesson so recently taught by the two
comrades has been quite enough to con-
vince the Italiens that fortune is not
on their side—they have not as yet re-
covered, nor has a leader appeared on
the scene.
Now the heavy gate looms up 'before
them-othrongh its openings they ean
see the deep moat, over which hangs
the drawbridge.
If ever men had difficulties to wrestle
with, these two eertainly find them now,
but energy will do muoji toward ledue-
trials that often
ing the mountain of
stares one in the face.
Baron Sam shouts something to las
comrade which the latter doee not quite
catch, but he can easily guess its mean-
ing. He is to pay his respecte to the
gate, while the other searches for some
means of lowering the driewbridge—

a man, However, she survives the et-
perience, and perhaps, deep down in her
withered heart, ;secretly enjoys it.
They are making progress downward,
and enust sooner or later land in the
valley; but Baron Sam has discovered
that this is not the same road up which
they ollinbed when eccompanied by the
count and the ragged retinue of *br-
e
vants,

Diavolo is marshaling his hosts to come
forwara anew. Men of his character
are like wolves on the trail of a young
stag—their pertinacity and ferocity
make up for the real cowardice of their
natures.
"That reminds rae, Dud—more am-
munition, my ;tear boy—let us cry a
halt for a minute"; and while they thus
seettre a breathing spell, the gentlemen
proceed to place their weapone upon a
serviceable footing, as there is no tell-
ing when the shooting hone may be
called upon.
"Now I feel better. Let us once more
push on. You stand it well, Miss Win-
chester," says Sam, when all has been
done, even Aileen's small revolver re-
ceiving it share of attention, although
her chaperon raises. her poor hands in
horror, as she always does at sight of
the California girl holding such a wea-
pon in her hands.
Aileen laughs as she replies:
"I have climbed too many mountains
in the gold country not to have become
accustomed to the exercise. You can't
tire me out, Baron Saml"
"And you, Miss Dorothy?" politely,
though with a sly nudge at Dudley's'
ribs.
"I am dying by inches, but I trust you
will not deem it best to desert me," she
replies, in a sort of hysterical way.
"The prince would see that you were
taken care of—if he thought there was
a ransom back of it," acmarked Dudley,
slyly.
"Wieked man, you reproach me. 'But
I am or a confiding nature—I prefer to
believe good. of everyone," she simpers.
They waste no time while excluinging
these few sentences, but continue on
down the hillside, overcoming what ob-
stacles there are in the way, and finally
arriving at the base of the elevation.
Here they run across the railroad,
while just beyond shines the river of
which much has been written in Roman
history—the Po, which, with its sources
among the snow-covered Alps, cremes
Northern Italy, and empties into the
beautiful Adriatic not a great distance
below Venice. •
To turn and head in the direction of
the wreck is an easy vnatter—the sounde
that come from this quarter are enough
in themselves to guide them, for Italians
cannot work without the greatest of
confusion. Beeides, the Americans have
their own good judgment to assist them.

it faces the valley, some sort of bridge

InAatliVarently these are rather hard to
find, In both the artny and the navy,
where the after careers of athletes can
be followed carefully, the report is that
athletes are shorter lived, are more lia-
ble to develop the disease ot neart and
arteries which bring on premature senil-
ity and are in general distinctly less fit-
ted for their work in after life than their
non -athletic fellows. The excuse for font -
bale as for other serious attention to in-
ter -collegiate athletics, is that It makes
for healthy bodies, which are quite as
important as healthq minds. We now
have the demonstration that it Is detri-
mental to health of bony.

Anything But Confidential.
'Uncle Joe Cannon writes a very il-
legible hand, and when a member at
Congress received a letter from him
one day he was able to read but a
single word. He disliked to bother
Mr. Cannon, so he went to several
friends among the congressmen and
finally the letter, except for one word,
was made out.
This word seemed very important,
as it was underlined, but as neither
the congressman nor his friends could
make it out he thought he would con-
sult Mr. Cannon himself. He told him
of his trouble in reading the letter and
explained that with help from several
other members of the House he had
made out all but the word M question.
Cannon looked at his letter, and then
at the congressman, and then again at
the letter, his face meanwhile taking
on a peculiar expression. Finally he
looked at the congressman and with
mingled anger and laughter said:
"Why, you fool, that word is confi-
dential!' "—Exchange.

Exporting Queen Bees. •
(amen bees are sometimes sent on
,journeys through the post, even being
despatched abraid. It is a long ond hard
trial to be packed away in crowded mail
Backe in the recesses of a steanes bold.
To overcome this disadvantage the Ital-
ian exporter provides a special ear in
which her majesty the queen may ride.
She and her associates, and the little bit
of candy that goes with them, are yety
light, yet the exporter makes ti large,
cumbersommeage in which she is to ride.
The reasons for this are two. First, the
box must be strong, and, second, the
sides must be extended so as to prevent
the surrounding mall from becoming too
closely peeked against it.

Not a Task to be Envied,
Not always enviable was the lot of
tlie old4time juryman. For there was
always the prospect of trouble if the
verdict did not gratify the higher pow-
ers. Thy e the failure of a jury to oon-
vict Sir Nicholas Throckinorton made
Queen Mary "ill for three days," and
she came out of her sick chamber to
fine the disobliging jury (meanwhile
confined itt prison) the sum. of $104000
a bead. Elizabeth followed the Beane
plan, and the practice of fining English
pries did not eease .until 1070, when
it fine inflicted by the notorious Jef-
freys was rescinded on Weal -
In some old-time "courts of quarter
sessions" the injunction to lay their
heads together had. to be earried out
by jurymen, in literal fashion. When
they began to consider tbe verdict they
were eaPPosed to dive beneath the level
of the pry box and remain in that
cramped position until a decision was
reached,
Meanwbile the court usher stood near
the box armed with a long wand or evil -

-emerge above the surfaee before the
twelve minds were agreed, down came
the wand on the be.ad of the offender.
