Miss Dornwood came back to the hotel,
an(' Mr, Overton had locked her into
her room, I went down to the bar to
get a glass of wine, for I was alarmed
and wanted something to raise my
spirits. 1 met Cutter there, and he de-
cided to ride with me -to Middleport,
I took a team, ancl told the stable -
keeper I should not be back till late, if
I returned before morning. I drove to
Highlandville, where we put the team
up at one stable, and hired a horse and
buggy at another. At Middleport,
where we arrived at half past eleven, I
put the team in a shed at the store near
the head of the wharf. I knew just
whore to find it boat, ahd we started to
cross the lake. In the darkness I made
out a sail -boat, going through the Nar•
rows. She was close aboard ' of us
when I discovered her. Then the sail-
boat kept away a little; and ran into
us.'
Did you know what float it was?'
asked Waddie.
did not. I knew the,Belle was up
the lake, and it did not °emus to me
that it was she, even whenfthe'fieeworke
blazed up. We ought ies have given up
the job then, but Cutter said it was all
right. We got out of the way as quick
possible. We walked over to the In-
stitute, and Soon saw the sail -boat go
clown the lake. We were satisfied then,
•aud, went to the bank. We approach-
ed the building by the baelk way, and
did tho job. It took So lOng,to cut the
hole, through the door, thataVe didnot
finish till nearly et aylight ; 'and. even
then.we heard the porter in the build-

We decided to separate then, in order
to divide and. bother our pursuers. I
pulled across the lake, and got my
horse at the shed. I took the upper
road; but the horse was not fast, and I
soon heard the rattle of a wagon behind
me. Seeing a road into the woods, I
drove in, taking care to remove the
tracks of the wheels and the horse, so
that they may not attract the attention
of my pursuers. I suppose they had
not heard. the rattle of my vehicle, for
presently they passed my hiding-alace
at it furious speed.

'Did you divide the moneyP' asked
the constable.
'No; we each took what we happen-

his bag. We were to meet in New

went to Philadelphia first. I
meant to go into some kind of business
and save the money I ltd.; but while I
was at the hotel in the city, I met
Cutter who mirenadecl mo to visit a
eambline saloon where I lost about half
0
of my money. ' I found that Cutter was
employed by the establishment to visit
the hotel, and bring hi customers. I
had wit enough to etop playing when I
found it was a losing game. Clutter
took a fancy to me, and put me in the
way of making a little money at this
gambling hone. I was employed as, it
gentleman from the country.' When
any one came in, I was allowed. to win
largely, for the encomagement of other
young meft from the rtirel districts,
but my Winnings went back to the
banker.
AS the %neon advanced, a gambling
house was opened at Cape May, and

The Scott Murder.
The folloWing extract is taken from a
letter which Mr. Bruce writes in the
manitoba Gazette, and shows what a
cold-blooded murder was that of Scott:
"Six s,olcliers had beeoi chosen to
shoot Scott. I have here again to
write the name of a man whose behav-
ior in that circumstance reflects on him
the greatest honor, Auguestin Parisien,
one of the six soldiers, declared openly
that he would not shoot at Scott; and
in fact, he took off the cap fromhis gun
before the word of command-' Pre-
sent !'-was given. Of the five balls
remaining only two hit the victim, one
in the left shoulder, the other in the
upper part of the chest, above the heart.
Had the other soldiers missed the marls
unintentionally or had they willingly
aimed too high, too low, or aside? it
is unknown. However that may be, as
the two wounds were not sufficient to
cause death, at least sudden death, a
man named Guillmette stepped forward
and discharged the contents of a pistol
close to Scott's head, while he was ly-
Mg on the ground. •This ball, howev-
er, took a wrong direction. It went
into the upper part of the right cheek,
and came out somewhere about the car-
tilage of the nose. Scott was still not
dead, but that did' not prevent his but-
chers from placing him, alive, and still
speaking, in a kind of coffin made of
four rough -boards; it was nailed, and
placed in the southeaston bastion, and
an .arnied soldierwasplaced 14 the door.
Via Wein 'seem like a story made at
one's ease, if there were not several
witnesses full oflife who heard, between
the hours of five and six in the even-
ing, the unfortunate Scott speaking

lea arta! my God!'
Some English Metis, and others speal,
ing Scott's tongue, heard distinctly
these words :-" For God's sake, take
me out of here or kill me 1" Towards
11 o'clock, that is after ten and it half
hours of frightful agony, a person whose
name I shall withhold for the present,
went into the bastion and gave him the
finishing stroke, with a butcher's knife,
according to some; with a pistol, Re-
cording to others. The same person,
after having inflicted the last blow to
poor Scott, said, as he was coming back
from the bastion :-" The son of it
bitch shall not speak any more; he is
dead this time." (L'onfaiat de chien-
ne catte fois-ci.)
The corpse was left in tho sonth-

by soldiers, relieving each in their turn.

7Plie Science of Kissing.
People will kiss, ---not one in it hund-
red knows how to extract bliss from
lovely lips, any more than they know
how to make diamonds from charcoal.
And yes it is easy, at least for us. First
know who you are going to kiss. Don't
make a mistake, although a mistake
may be good. Don't jump like a trout
for a fit', and smack a good woraan on
the neck, or the ear,- or the corner of
the forehead, or on the end of her nose,
or knock off her waterfall. The gene
tleman should be a little taller. He
should have a clean face, it kind eye,
and a mouth full of expression.' Don't
kiss ever) body! Don't sit down toeit
stand up. Need not be anxious About
getting in a crowd. Two persons are
plenty in it corner, and catch a kiss;
more would spoil the sport. Take the
left hand of the lady in your right one ;
let your hat go to any place out
of the way; throw your left hand gent-
ly over the shoulder of the lady, and
let it fall down the right side, towards
the belt. Don't be in a hurry; draw
her gently, lovingly to your heart. Her
head will fall lightly upon your shoul-
der -and a handsome shoulder strap it
makes. Don't be in a hurry 1 send a
little life down your left'arm. Her left
arm is in your right; let there be an
impression to that, not like the grip of
a vice, but a gentle elasp; full ofelec-
triolty, thought and respe3t. Don't be
in a hurry. For hand is carelessly on
your sheulder. You are nearly heart
to heart. Look down into her half-
closed eyes. Gently, yet manfully
press her to your bosom. Stand firm.
Be brave and don't be in a hurry. Her
lips are altruist open. Lean forward.
with your hand, not the body. Take
good aim; the lips meet; tho eyes
close, the heart opens; the soul rides
the storms, troubles, and. trials of this
life (don't be in a hurry). Heaven
opens before you; the world shoots u
der your feet as a meteor flashee ae
the evening sky (elonethe afraid),
nerves dance before the neWTy erec,
altar of love, as zephyrs dance with new
trimmed flowers; the heart forgets its
bitterness, and the art of eissin,g is
learned. No fuss, no nt ise, no flutter-
ing and squirming like hook impaled
worms. Kissing don't hurt ; it don't
require a brass band to make it legal.
