Montgomery Stout’s business often keeps him late at his office, and at times when funds come in after bank hours he carries them home with him. A street car line passes within a few minutes walk of his house, and in this distance lies the only danger. He carries u revolver, but what use is a weapon when one is dropped by a rap on the hack of Ids head? Stout was one of a younger set of' men in his suburb who were together I n great deal and constantly joking one, another, lie talked to them about his j nocturnal trips home, Ids fear of I fool pads and what he hoped to necom-j plish in case of attack. One night when he was passing a dimly lighted : place between the street ear line and I his house he was seized from behind by both arms, a hand was thrust ini Ids pocket and .$500 in bills taken, together with Ids revolver, so that when the robbers ran away he had no weapon with which to pursue them. On reaching his house he found sev-1 oral of Ids friends, whom he excitedly told of his adventure and his loss. They sympathized with him deeply, and while doing so two others of the set, Mark Hamlin and Ben Turner, walked In. Stout was somewhat surprised to tlnd callers so late at night— it was 11 o'clock—but, after all, there was nothing remarkable in (heir visit. After listening to his account of the robbery and asking many questions, Mark Hamlin handed him the pocketbook of which he hud been robbed and confessed himself the robber. Then there was a general jollitlcu tion. Stout brought out drinkables and cigars, and all agreed that a very amusing and practical joke had been

played.

Some months after this Stout was again on his way homo at night, this tinio with $1,000 in Ids pocket that had come in late, when ut the very same spot ns before lie heard the order: “Hands up!” At the same time he felt the cold muzzle of a gun near his ear and bands relieving him of everything he possessed. Then the man with the gun said lo him: “You walk around the block before you go home and remember that you’re watched. Any attempt to use a telephone for (lie next half hour will result in a hole in you.” Now, tin* threat was lost on Mr. Stout, for he knew it had only been made as a bluff. The robbers would not be likely to wait to see that he completed Ids walk. Resides, the voice that gave the order was very like that of Mark Hamlin. “Just wait a bit, my fine fellow," thought Stout, “and we’ll see whom the joke is on fids time." He was within n stone’s throw of bis house. Hurting to it, he went in, got a revolver I he robbers had taken the one he carried—ran back on tiptoe to tind them dividing the spoil under a gas light. “Hands up!" be yelled in a sten toriau voice. There were but two men, and both raised their hands. "Heave the tilings on tin* sidewalk." cried Sbuit, “and, mind, no lowering of hands.” Stout said this to gain time to think. The men remained motionless. “Now turn your backs and go on down I lie si reel.” The men hesitated, then after a word witli each other did ns they were told. Stout followed till he came lo ids prop orty. picked up every article, then fired his revolver. At tiie shot the robbers took to their heels, and Stout went homo and to bed chuckling at the way he had go! even with his practical joking friends. The next morning he telephoned “the gan: ” that Hamlin would break a botih* of wine at noon at a popular restau rant, telephoning Hamlin also to be there. At half past H2 all had arrived except Hamlin, who came a few inin-. ales Inter. “My friends," said Stout, “this prae tlcnl joking has gone far enough. I drove off two of you Inst night and recovered the property you had taken. One f the two I know. Mark Hamlin, you owe me and this party the wine." “IV The wine? What do you menu?" “I mean this: When you played your game on me some time ago and 1 ' mhI the boys at my house, you and Rill Turner coming in later with my pocket book, I took the Joke good mitiireilly and opened my larder. Hast night 1 turned the tables, drove you away and recovered my property. You owe the wine." Hamlin stood gaping at ids friend in astonishment. "Ho you mean to say I robbed you last night?” “Come; no bluffing! 1 made you and your pal, whoever he was, drop the swag. I got it and fired a shot after you to aenre you. at which you took to your heels.'’ Hamlin continued to gape, but the others told him to own up like a man and pay the wine. lie made another offer at a denial, but being met with the cry of “Shame!” pushed the button and ordered in champagne. For an hour there was a merry party—all except Hamlin, who never opened his mouth, bearing the chaff "f his friends without irritation. At the end of the feast he said: “I give you nil my word of honor that 1 had no connection whatever with tlii:' robbery." Then the party looked at one another heaven’s sake,” exclaimed Stout, “did I get the better of a pair of real robbers?" And there was an explosion of laugh tor. T. HE WITT BOWMAN.

Leonardo da Vine. Was the First One

to Suggest It.

Credible accounts exist of on English Renedj.-;me iimiik, Oliver of Malmes-| bury, in the eleventh century having tried to tly by precipitating himself from the height of a tower with the assistance of wings attached to Ids arms and his feet. It is said that, having gone along a little way. lie fell aud broke his legs. He attributed his noddeiit to failure to provide his apparatus with a tail, which would have helped preserve ids equilibrium and made his descent a gentler one. In the sixteenth century Leonardo da Vinci first demonstrated that a bird, which is heavier than the air, sustains itself, adv ances in the air. "by rendering the fluid denser where it passes than where it does not pass." In order to fly ii lias to fix its point of support on the air. Its wings in the descending stroke exert a pressure from above down, the reaction of which from below tip forces the center of gravity of its body to ascend at each instant to the height at which the bird wishes to maintain It Some sketches which have come down to us prove that Leonardo oc upled himself, like < diver of Malmesbury. witli giving man the power to tly by the assistance of wings suitably fixed to the body We owe to Leonardo also the invention of tbo parachute, which he de- - Tlbed in the following terms: "If a man had a pavilion each side of which was fifteen traces wide and twelve braces high he might cast himself from any height whatever without fear of dang r " It may be said. too. of Leonardo da \ iiiej that lie was the first to suggest the idea of the screw propeller A SAUCY DUCHESS.

Papua Island. Papua Island was so named by the Malays, and the word means “frizzled," in reference to the hair of the Inhabit ants. It is generally supposed that Papua or Now Guinea was originally part of the mainland of Australia, it was dis: overod by the Portuguese In ! 52i!, t in -lic it it was probably sighted by A. Dabreti during Ids voyage fifteen years earlier. The Australian government, realizing the danger that would arise if an enemy seized land so near their coasts, frequently urged England to annex the eastern portion of the island, and after two or three unau llioriz.ed annexations a British protec (orate was established there in 18M-L Clipping Their Wings. The costume of the Pu Yuan Pen-Jen women in the Shan states is very strik int. consist lug of a cloth hood, an open jacket and a pair of short white trousers n acliin : barely to the knee. But the most important though the least noticeable part of their costume is their colored • loth gaiters. These the women are obliged to wear, as without them it Is believed they would bo able to fly away, leaving their husbands and sweethearts sorrowful.
