now recognized the way In which his
name was treated..
I rode into the reach of forest beyond
Venetian and presently came oat up -
On a more open spot, where the trees
hemmed in 8 piece of ground tufted
with bush and bracken. At a turn of
the road beyond mo I saw a figure,
tseeheingly that of Il clergyman, walk-
ing to meet the, As I made this den-
tal observation and without a note of
warning there came the crack of a
gun, and a bullet plowed a ridge in the
grass before the horse's belly. The
beast reared and came down upon his
Staunches, nearly throwing me, and I
was aware that the man in front was
running toward me, shouting. As I
steadied the horse my eyes went in an-
other direction and lit upon Sercombe
stalking easily toward me, with a gun
•upon his arm. The two men came Up
to me about the same time.
"I hope there is no•accldent," gasped
the clergyman. Sercoznbe put out his
band.
"Good afternoon, liar. Morgan," said
he, "How do you do, Greatorex?" he
continued coolly. "No, I am glad to
gay there's no harm done, is there,
Greatorex? But it's all my fault. This
infernal undergrowth diverted the shot.
I hope It did not scare you too much?"
Ire asked, smiling at me.
I was too much, astounded and far
too indignant for words. "I thought
I'd got the bare all right" be resumed
.amiably to the elergyman. "Lucky for
you, Greatorex, as well as for me."
end then turning to me, "Do you know
• Mr. Morgan, the vicar of Llanellan?
My friend, Mr, Greatorex, you know—
lately succeeded to, the castle yonder.
'A, fine property. T envy him."
His impudence was startling. Here
was a man who had just made a bare -
laced attempt upon my life (for that
twos how I conceived it), and heewas
.engrossing the conversation upon
friendly terms and in the most cheer-
ful spirit between his intended victim
.and the stranger who had all but eau -
.ally witnessed his atrocious' act of
ireachery. The bare audacity had left
me gaping at the outset of the en-
counter, but the very process of his
iieasy talk served to give me my wits
again, and I was able to meet him up-
on his own terms, which I did, deliv-
ering a long, keen glance at him.
"I am afraid you are an indifferent
sportsman, Captain Sercombe," said I
after I had acknowledged the introduc-
tion ceremoniously. "You do better
with the rod than with the gun. I see
I must take you in hand for a lesson.
?When you see me shoot I shall shoot
-straight, even if the enemy be a bare."
Sercombe laughed and patted my
horse's flank. The vicar looked from
lone to the other in some bewilderment,
;well he might, for we had disposed
a curious incident somewhat cava-
,aierly.
• "I am pleased to have made your ae-
iluaintance, Mr. Greatorex," said he.
e'And I trust we shall see more of each
)tier."
', In my heart I hoped not, but I gave
Ulm the proper rejoinder, and, taking
.roti his hat, he moved away. Sercombe
and I were left upon the roadway con-
fronting each other.
"And now, sir," saki I quietly,, "will
lou be good enough tO tell me what
,this means, and why yoti shoot at
bares with bullets?"
"Let me walk with you a iittle way,"
•responded the captain, shouldering bis
;gun. Suiting his action to the iuvita-
i,kion, he marched beside me. ""It Is
every plain, Mr. Greatorex," said he
eleasantly. "It means that you must
llaave a lesson, but I need not assure

that sentiment has no place in a mere
matter of business,"
It is not an uncommon practice with
me to carry a pistol, and certainly, if
it had never entered my head before, I
think that the strange fortunes of the
last week would have persuaded me to
the precaution. As it was, the revolv-
er lay to my band in my coat pocket,
and I took my Course forthwith. R'hip-
ping round the horse, I drew one. pre-
sented the weapon at lits heart.
"You will do me the favor, Captain
Sercombe," saki I sharply, "to hand
over your cartridges."
An indefinite expression of surprise
passed over his face. Ile Was evident-
ly taken aback, and hts high color
strengthened. "Oh, come, my dear
sir," saki be. "I ask you toconsider if
it be worth while. For any own part,
I have no desire to fire in your back,
nor dare I if I had. You see, I ant
plain with yeu,"
He certainly was, and I saw at once
that : need fear no more for the prep-
ent—at least from the captain.
"Very well,"said I.
"I am glad you agree with me," he
remarked. "It is a saving of dignity."
I said no more, but whipped up the
horse and left him, with, a mocking
bow, which he returned gravely, and
the last I saw of biro eves his bulky,
form leaning upon the gun and assid-
uously followittg me with his dull and
fishy eyes.
I put up the horse at the Swan and
hurried to the station, barely in time
to catch the London train. I took riiy
ticket bastily and, rushing down the
platform, cast about me precipitately
for a first class carriage, The guard
had retired to the back part of the
train and stood impatiently, Sag in
hand. I came upon two compartments
of the class I wished and gave a hur-
ried glance into each. The one appette-
ed empty, but the other already con-,
tained two or three travelers. This
latter, however, was labeled "Smok-
ing," and for a second or two I waver-
ed in tine balance until a sharp "Now,
then, sir!" from the guard finally whip-
ped up my decision. I opened the door
of the smoking carriage, but as I did
set a man rudely stumbled against me,
and 'I fell against the next compart-
ment, the door of which had dust • been
opened by a third person. In the flurry
of the moment I merely remember get-
ting
etting back my clutch upon the handle,
and the next instant 1 was fn the
smoking carriage, somewhat hot and
angry. Out of the window by which I
sat I saw in the tail of my eye the two
men stepping swiftly into the next
compartment, and something vaguely,
troubled my senses.
I settled • into the eushione as the
train drew out of the station and look-
ed about at my companions. Then my
mind returned to the landscape, which
Was now passing pretty swiftly. It
struck me in a Sash what was exer-
cising my mind, A squint—that was
it! Mrs. Main had described the in-
truder of the morning as a nian with
a "squint—funny-like." And the man
who had got into the next carriage
was.a man 'with a squint. The coinci-
dence was only remarkable because I
was in a veritable net of suspicion,
And when I examined the particulars
it was his companion who Lod jostled
me—I might, to be thoroughly suspi-
cious, say shoved me. Why had I
been shoved? Perhaps it was an acci-
dent, and the two men had no relation
to eaeh other, nor the second man with
the squint to Mrs. Main's friend. ° But,
on the other hand, that shove came
near sending me through the open
doorway of the next carriage, and but
for my own obstinacy I might now be
seated in the seclusion of that car-
riage with my two neighbors in an ex-
press that did not stop for forty miles.
At Paddington I took a cab. I could
see the titan with the squint nowhere,
and I reeked for him pretty sharply.
His companion's face I had not seen,
and should not, of course, recognize
again. It Was quite possible that they
bad been passengers to au intermediate
station only, in which case, as X con-
ceived, I bad been using my imagina-
tion In vain. It was by this time a lit-
tle after 6, and, as the dead season had
felly set in, the streets in the West
end were bare of carriages, but a con-
course of people still streamed along
the pavements—tete tide of life ran, to
all appearance, as populous as ever.

that my plans must be veleta. These
urea were after the piece of parchment

ilesperete. I reit the pocketbook muter
my hand. I certainly could not think
1 of leaving it, as I had intended, In nay
rognus, for if I knew anything of these
gentry I should return to find the place
rifled. There •was little they would
stick at, as I had had proof. I made
up my mind to try for Sheppard, It
was possible that he was in town, and
in any ease I would not leave the domu-
mestt off my person. In the meantime
• I was feeling ectrernely Hungry and
was resolved to make a meal. It was
certain the scoundrels would not assail
1110 in the open.
I scrutinized the court as I came out,
but naturally the spies were not likely
to show themselves. Then I drove to
the Cafe Royal and enjoyed an excel-
lent dinner. morn where I sat In the
dining room I had a view through an
open floor of the great hall beyond, in
which the representatives of a dozen
nationalities drank and chattered and
played their dominos. Halfway

pains, and the first thing was to run
Sheppard to earth.

As luck would have it, he was out, but
it was a relief to fed that he was in
town. According to the maid, be was
to be back in the morning. In consid-
erable disappointment I ran clowu the
stairs and banged the front door, and
there was my man across the roadway.
I confess that I began for the first
time to have the feeling of being bunt-
ed. I strode over to him.
"What the devil• do you want?" I
asked angrily.
"Siri" said he and looked up at me
as if in surprise.
' Wbat the devil do you want?" I re-
peatetl.
There was a slight pause, and with
my hand in my pocket I ostentatiously
cocked the revolver. The faint click
caught his ear.
"I am desirous to walk about the
street, sir," he said softly. "I have
made up my mind 'to see London by
night. It is vfr' beautiful."
"Very well," thought I, for it. was
plainly of no use to deal with the res-
eal. "You may walk• as much as you
like. I am for a cab."
And into a cab again I jumped.
"Drive—west—anywhere," said I at
Inst to the questioning cabman, "III
you."
I had this dilemma now before =—
that I dared not go b. k to my rooms.
The risk was too extravngaut. And
the question as to where I was to pass
the nigbt became important, as it was
now past 1i. Of course I could go
to a hotel, Where 1 should be compara-
tively safe, but I had no fancy to spend

through the little window at the back
and saw my squinting friend in con-

the second of the gang.

park for Bayswater. Presently I was

eu'a second colt clove upon us.
"Very well," said 1 to myself. "You
shall have your wish. A stern chase is
a long chase"
I faney my cabman must have
thought me near upon a lunatic. I
chopped and changed ]tis dir°eetioue a
dozen times, and during the nest two
hours we visited quite half of the me-
tropolis.
You will doubtless dub me a foot in
'that I didn't forthwith take the shelter
of the law and put,myself under safe
custody. But I had two reasons
against that—the one, that I bad a sort
of informal bargain with Sercombe not
to bring, the authorities into this feud,
but to fight out a private war; the oth-
er, that I would see these scoundrels
in the Infernal regions before I sur-
rendered to them. And when you come
to think of It, to call in the police for
Delp in the distinctly illegal job which
occupied me would hardly be in taste.
So there was nothing for it but the
road, and the road it was for the next
two hours and more. By that time my
cab horse, a fine upstanding chestnut,
bad fairly run himself down, and so I
hoped had my pursuers' cab. But Of
this I could not be eertaiu, and, In any
ease, it was not their•object to provoke
an open fracas. Aa I imagined, they
merely sought to run nue to earth some-
where. And it was obvious by now
that I could not strive about in cabs all
night.
Somewhere between 1 and 2 I found
myself again in Kensington, or, rather,
in that region of respectable, desolate
and gloomy houses lying about Glou-
cester road. The chase had to end
somehow. We drove up a road dimly
lighted and narrow. I suppose my cab-
man must have been almost as weary
.as I, and probably more sleepy. At
any rate, I had ceased to guide him for
some time. Ile had taken the initiative
himself, constituting himself, I con-
ceive, the guardian of this harmless lu-
natic. At all events, it was soon plain
that we bad entered a cul -cis -sat. The
situation pricked my resolution to the
proper point of action. As it fell out,
a flare of gas streamed from the fan
lights in a large and commodious house
near the bottom of the road, seeming
to show that the inmates bad not yet
retired, and, acting on my resolution
in a second, I stopped the man and
jumped` out before the door. As I did
so the second cab also came to a pause.
My cab turned slowly round and stop-
ped abreast of his fellow, I would
swear I saw the two figures alight.
God knows what the cabmen made of
it all. I putted at the bell, but for a
time could get no answer. But at lust,
and in response to a louder peal than
usual', the door was opened, and there
confronted me a tall, slight man some-
thing near my own age in evening
dress,
"Who the devil may yon be?" says
be, surveying me from iop to toe with
a puzzled look.
"Sir," said 1, "tilts ! to place upon

must needs look for one steadier than

And, true enough, there he was sway-

Moment for parleying, and I pressed
my poral promptly,
"Then, prey, let rue sintt the door for
yon," said I, stepping in fortltwitlr.
And without more ado 1 closed the
great floor with a bang.
Ire led the way docilely enough into
a neighboring room and, turning up the
gas, faced Inc. "Ibis Is all very well,"
says he more soberly, "But I have still
to learn who the devil you lusty be."
"'My name, sir, is immaterial," I re-
plied. "Lint it is your services I Want

-Gentlemen," said he, "here is an-
other guest to join us. Pray charge
your glasses,"
Ilaif a dozen young gentlemen were
spread about the huge room, some at a
card table, and a generous row of bot-
tles testified to the dominant occupa-
tion of the evening. A vacuous but
hearty laugh greeted this.
"I must explain to you, gentlemen,"
continued my host, lighting another
cigar, "that Mr.—Mr. 'Mat's-his—this
gentleman is engaged in the perilous
task of escaping from a hostile urine -
went outside. And it is our duty, I
need not say, as English gentlemen to
rescue him."
A wild hooray from the party was
the salutation with which this senti-
ment was met.
"The officers of the law, gentlemen,"
continued my host, pouring out a glass
of spirit with an unsteady hand, "are
even now at our gates, preparing to

A unanimous negative, shouted at

shouting:

Johnny."

and How he was Released.
'For years a martyr,'
is how Chas H.
Pow ell of 105 Raglan
street, begins his
story, "A martyr
to chronic constipa-
tion, but now I am
free from it and all
through the use of
Dr, Leonhardt's Anti
Pill,"
Many who are now Suffering from this
complaint will be glad to learn from Mr.
PoweIl's story' that there is hope, for the
most stubborn case. Ile oontinnes: "I
was induced to try Anti Pill by reading
the testimony of some one who had been
cured of constipation by it. I had suf-
fered for eighteen years and had taken
tons of stuff recommended as cures but
which made me worse rather than better.
Doctors told me there was no cure for
me."

fitst she ever wore,
And when pa seen her with it on he
acted kind o' 'sore;
And said, " I'd like it better, seems to
me, if you could chop
About a yard right 'Oft the tail and sew
it 'round the top."
And Ica, Ire's got a dress suit, too 1 He
tried it on last night,
And said to ma, "Oh, 'Lizabeth 1 Ain't
I an awful eight ?
I may be Wrong but I'm convinced it
Wouldn't do no hart
If 1 had there of coat and nest and not
so ranch b'iled shirt."

" Well, 'something oontrtryfied it that

three Ws—Repairing Ripe owl Tiente,
If some American mothers heard that
their young Jimmies or Waidos or
Clareztees had to perform the services
in their private schools that English
boys have to do in similar institutions
there would be pity and indignation --
pity for the youths and indignation at
the hard hearted master. But the cus-
tom doesn't seem to hurt the young
BrItisbers. At a school in Brighton
where boys ret'eive the forst half decade
of their Jeweling even future peers
are taught to sew on their buttons and
darn their hose and rents in their un-
derclothing. • Only their outer gar;nente
are sent to tate tailor. Any shirking of
the tasks brings the same punishment
that ill prepared leesous would. On
certain days the entail boys are taught
the rudiments of cooking and laying a
table, and at all times they must keep
their rooms in order. It is true some
' parents object to this, but they must
submit or take their sons away. The
majority of fathers believe the plan a
wise one.

Two of filo Habits. s
"Two things the average man does at
t very opportunity from mere force of

"One is to set his watch every time he

man inadvertently pass a timepiece.
He aiwstys eatehes himself in time,
goes back, compares his watch, anti
ten minutes later you'll see him absent-
ly doing the salve thing farther down
the street. To prove the other fact you
need only stand five minutes within:
sight of a enspidor in one of the big
railway stations and 'watch man after
maw absentmindedly expectorate tri

gestion of the cuspidor.
