IMDMXA. IK. 1HWTMAX IiROWX was a prosperous, el- " ausW M I t,l of famil iar friends supplied all his social needs, he concerned himself little with the rest of hu manity, belonging to the class who can live side by side in the Mine street with a fellow-creature xll their lives without bo fflneli a knowing them by sight ,1 Among Mr. Brown's fixed habits was a yearly tour. But he did not take it, like most people, is the summer months, but in the early spring. IU'gularly a the first week in March eame round, he went abroad. A commonplace tour, in beaten tracks, following the usual routine of travel La tamers and trains, and lodging at palutlal hotels. No adventure had ever broken the uneventful record of these tours for over quarter of a ccatury; no wore excitingincident than an unusual overcharge nt some hotel had come within Portman Brown's personal experience. In 18 , when March eame round, he made the usual preparntioas for his yearly tour in his usual way. On the evening before his departure, an old city friend, Mr. (Soldsmith, dined with him at his iioune in Harley street When about to leave. Goldsmith drew a small case from his pocket. "I brought this with me on the chance that you were going to Cannes. You, will do me a great favor by giving it into ray brother's hands there. It contains a brilliant of such rare value that I could trust it to few. It will give you no trouble, being so small; there will be no risk, as no one will know you have such a thing with you." Anything to oblige a friend," said Brown, lightly. "I would take the Koh-i-noor a a traveling companion under the same circumstances." The two men were standing at the study window, the blind of whieh hap pened to be up While ia the act of placing the case to his pocket Brown's eyes wandered to the street. At the moment the light from a lamp in front of the door struck on the face of a man who was passing or had he been standing there? a peculiar dark face, with straight black whiskers. The man moved on. Brown drew baek hastily. "Jf one of your people knew that you were giving me this commission?" lie inquired of Goldsmith. "Not a soul, my dear fellow; the matter is entirely between you and me. My head elerk alone knows of the existence of the brilliant." "What is he like?" C'Like yon. like me. Respectability itself! What are you thinking of?" "Has he white whiskers?" "Gray as a badger's whit?, even! But, bless my soul, what is the matter? What do yon mean? Have you seen anyone?" "A man was standing there by the lamp post as yon handed me the jewel case. He was apparently looking at vs. and might have heard what we aid." 'Then he must be in the street still," said Goldsmith, throwing up the windew ami patting his head, out Brown did the same. The night was bright. Kot a soul was to he seen anywhere; "the street was quite deserted. "A neighbor or a neighbor's butler. Be has gone into some house." Geldamith withdrew from the window. "In may case, no one could hare heard, nor, 1 should think, have seen us. A for TMKY WKRK KTAXni.NS AT WIXBOW.

Your imagination is playing you tricks I didn't know yen were given that way. Perhaps you would rather not take eharge of the brilliant?" But Brown would net hear of this. Already shamefaced over his hasty nd somewhat ridiculous suspicions, he dismissed them abruptly. "Not for worlds would I give up the charge," he Mid. "I'm not such a fool 1 seem. The man probably is one f the new neighbors: there are a good iy newcomers in the street" 1'ortman Brown set next morning Lucerne via Brussels and the Khlnc, toying a few days at Ostesd on the "Ay. 1 took hm plate ia the andcsmfstl of a first-el ess carriage he Menu to Brawls wHh a mlad

On thu (KM.-at.iou he waa Just eont-ehxu, in Icarlni? the station at Ostend, that aa elderly couple were the other oeeupanU of the carriage; lie merely gavt a passing glance from hla newspaper at the tan, a stranger, who got in at ISruyes and hat down on the opposite oeat. Xvnrly aa boar had pawed before lirown laid down hh newspaper, and when he tiki he was horrified to see in the traveler who rt in at Bruges the dark-fsH'wl man who had exetWd his suspicion whu he started from Lon don. At Brussels Brown dodsred the dark faced mas. Never within that whole course ef his experience in foreign ports had Brown passed a mow wretche! night; the morning found kin nerves ia a sad state, lie, who had nerer before known himself the possessor of nerves! The fidgety man who made fussy arrangements about starting by the first train for LiKi-me. and whose eyes had a way of oaeting furtive not to say appre hensiveglances around, was strangely unlike the selfutUrle-d, phlegmatic llriton -Alio Had arrived the evening before at the Three Kings. The success of this maneuver in leaving Brussels made him repeat; it; be sides he was in a perfect fever to get to the end of bis journey, and rid him self of the charge of the diamond. His spirits rose considerably as the hour of the train's departure drew nor without any appearance of the "shadower" in the station, lirown remained on the platform until the last moment, then, with a fervent sigh of relief, he entered the railway carriage. The train was just moving off when the door was suddealy opened, a breathless porter dashed in a hantlbss? ami parcel of rugs, followed by a still more breathless travelur. The door was shut, the engine shrieked the last departing signal, the train moved from I tale station. In one corner of the carriage sat lirown; in another the farthest on the opposite side sat the man with the black whiskers! How of ten in fancy -we plaoe ourselves in heroic situations, and there in fancy act with invariable heroism. It is quite different, however, wlteathe heroic situation h a reality; our consequent actions are liable to be quite different, too. The poiitkm in which Brown now found himself might well have appalled the bravest He was alone in a railway carriage with a scoundrel who had followed him from London; Brown had utterly alndoned surmise siaee last night and accepted each idea as an absolute certaintj- the object ia this scoundrel's view waa the capture of the valuable diamond, which waa at that very moment on Urown's person. A long jour ney lay ueiore them awl Brown was unarmed. At this review of the situa tion his heart sank; he drew back in . . . . . ... stincttvciy into tne corner, jus eyes suddenly met those of the other man; a deep sash sunasedl his face, which seamed to find reflection in the other's, lirown hastily took up ttaedeker a ltd affected to read, the man opposite simultaneously did the same. A transparent unreality on "both sides. Brown's furtive glances invariably caught quickly withdrawn though they were those of the other man leveled on him. While this went on, the slightest change of position, the least movement in the opposite corner made Brown start. Mlifht it not herald the approach of danger? A sprinsr, a rush, the attack! The tension was terrible; to remain inactive almost impossible. Brown bad an aspiration, as a man is extremity sometimes has. Though he was not armed, he would pretend to be. That might do something; produce hesitation or delay, at least Accordingly, he deliberately assumed a bold, even threatening demeanor. Casting a truculent glance across the carriage. he plunged his hand iato his pocket, affecting to grasp am iaaginary revolver. To his intnss delight the rase took immediate effect The man op posite gave an unmistakable start, and shrank hack into his corner. So far, so good. Hut how to keep up the pre tense? What to do next? At this crisis the whistling of the engine suddenly distracted lirown. Good heavens! He had fergetten the long tunnel! They were cominir to it now! His eyes, with a quick, involuntary movement, sought the lane p. It was not lighted! Entrapped! Doonaed! The wildest thoughts rushed confusedly to his brain. With a shriek the train plunged noisily into the tunnel, into darkness. The din and rattle ouUide con trasted sharply with ;ttte sikace within the earriHtfe. Crouched In Ids corner, Brown, his hearing sharpened to agoniz ing acutencss, listened for a stir, a rustle, the sound of human Venthing drawing nearer to him. Every moment fancy detected a step, a stealthy, catlike movement His imagination, after the neglect of a lifetime, was now taking- ample i-evenjge. Uncontrolled and uncontrollable were its wild flights. Kvery railway Harder of which he had ever Heard flashed upon him with all the ghastly details. The spring upon the victim, the struggle, the deathstroke, the body thrown out on the ralU. How idly he had read of these things luppemisgto other men! But now to realise himself as the victim; his, the body! Absolute panic seiaed upon hln; hardly knowing what he was doing, he tried softly to open the door. It was loeked, however. Ilk movemeate must nave beta heard, them was a stir at the other ead of the carrisjre. The fatal moment had one, the ass aula -was advancing te th attack.

And what? ilU straining ears detected no sound bat the eutidde rattle and ro of the train through the tunnel; within all was silence, lie remained listealeg ia iutease excitement and amasement until the hope whieh had hardly dared to iUria his breast grew into vigorous life. He was abuse in the carriage! He was savett: Deliverance had miraenkmsly why and bow he knew not! The taaaal wu ualu light began to stream into the earriage. CaHtiously and slowly Brown peeped from under the seat He was quite wos. x ne man had utsappeared. ine fact of his escape wa, at the time, enough for Brown. Afterward, in thinking over the adventure, he surmised that the man, deceived by his (lirown-!,) attempt to tarn the handle or the door, had followed in supposed pursuit. At the station, just outside the tunnel, I! rows alighting almost before THK KKCOGNITMX. the train had stopped changed hia place for one in a crowded second-class compartment A few hours later the lH-illiant was safely transferred from his charre into that of Goldsmith's brother at Lucerne. The rest of the tour was uneventful; he neither heard of nor saw his perse cute again. Brown's adventure made quite a sea sat km on his return to London. lie was the hero of the hour in his circle. Whether or not he related the eircum stances exactly, as here set forth, need not be mentioned. His friend Jones, among others, gave a dinner party in his honor, lirown. with hu usual punctuality, was the irst ot the guests to arrive. "By the way,' Jones said ehantagiy to aim, as the two stood chatting together on the hearth-rug, "yon must look to your laurels to-night, Brown. Do yon know Leroy, your neighbor in Harley street?" "Never saw the man in my life. What's the joke?" "A rival adventure! In Switaerland. too, and eulminatmg in a tunnel net sure that it wasn't the Olten one also!" "Dear me! What an extraordinary coincidence! ' "In this case it was a lunatic, not robber. He was shadowed at hotels and trains. You must hear the story from hh own lips; he's dining here to night The climax is terrific Shut ,, . . ... laio a rauway carriage a tone wun a lunatic, aforesaid lunatic armed with i revolver. A long tunnel, an extin gutshed lamp, the lunatic crawling in the darkness to the attack, an escape by the skin of his teeth. Leroy have sufficient presence of mind to open the door ami pretend to go out, in reality crawling under the seat instead. The ruse saved his life. He supposed that be fainted in the stifling air, for, when he was next roaseioes, the train had left Olton and he was alone in the carriage, from whieh all "traces of the lnnatie had disappeared." Jones was so engrossed in telling Use story, he did not remark its curious sad startling effect on Brown. Just then the door was thrown open, aad the footman announced "Mr. Le roy. Jones, springing forward with effu sion te greet the 4aeweomer, led him gushlngrly up to Brown. "You two must know each other," he said. And they did. The recognition was instantaneous on both sides. With a gasp, Brown stared in speechless wonder on the man with the black whiskers, while Leroy stared baek aghast on encountering the gaae ef the lunatic! London Truth. CatrMnr a SwarMta. A Fall Kiver fisherman had an adventure with a sword fish which near Wing fatal to the man aad resulted in the capture of the risk in a most novel manner. The nshermaa in question belonged to the crew of the Hattie Ellen, which frequently makes trips for swordfUh. 6a this occasion a large ish was sighted ami struck a few miles off 15 re n ton's reef lightship. When struck it at once darted off through the water, carrying forty fathoms of line and a large keg. For an hour it raced on. A man in a .rowboat foltoWed, and when the Ish stopped, the man, believing it ready to give up. began hauling in the line. The fish came in all right for a thse. Suddenly, however, it started from the bottom, eame te the surface with a rush, sUick its sword through the boat and came near swamping it The sailor had a narrow escape from being impaled on the sword; it graaed hie pantaloons. Seeing that the swerdAsh had obligingly come te him. however, the sailor quiekly resolved to hold it. lie took a halfhltek around the sword sticking through the host, and the game was seenre. The schooner sooa. bore down neon the boat, aad the sailer with the fish was taken aboard. The fish weighed two hundred flit- esmaa-Yenths G

Preside nAlIrrison was at Bennington talking patriotic commonplaces at the bae of a shaft reared feu commemorate Stark's victory ewer a portion of Burgoyne's army. Mr. Blaine, wbote. vacation has been a long one, was still loitering at Bar iiarbor.

There is H perfunetory indorsement of the Harrison administration, mainly because lthlnc awl Waaamaker are part and parcel of it. But when the platform-maker reach Blaise name the pratee is no longer faint There is effusive laudation of "one of Pennsylvania's native sons." Eulogistic epithet is on the free list Blaine's diplomacy k seperh. It has electrified the hearts; of all. It- has made the American eagle a proud bird, one that, like Marlborough at Blenheim, in the language of that arch-flatterer, Addison, rides on the whirlwind and directs the storm. It has opened foreign ports to our comnurce, "gates heretofore barred.!'- These magnificent achieve-' ments -justify th confidence and furnish new occasions for us now to reaffirm the loyalty ami devotion of the republicans of Pennsylvania to her most distinguished son." Not the loyalty and derotkm of ISSO, which were decidedly lacking, but the loyalty and devotion of 164. when Grant was not looking for a third-term nomination. Jnst what nation James O.'a superb diplomacy has caused to tremble in the presence of the grand old eagle, just what commercial gates heretofore barred he has opened to the products ef America the Pennsylvania eulogists of the favorite son do not stop to specify; and it is Imaginable that they do not particularly onre. They put Blaine to the front, Harrison to the rear, and though they abstained from formal declaration of pre fore nee the notice to Harrison is unmistakable. lie may cherish hose of a renomi nation, but he cannot have the delegation from the second state ia the union, a state that gave Harrison .a plurality of eighty thousand. Though upon taking thought the Pennsylvania convention chose to omit from its formal resolutions the direct statement that "we earnestly express the hope that the- republican national convention of 1 JW may place in. unanimous nomination for the presidency which nomination we feel will bs followed by a triumphant election Hoe. James C. Blaine, of Pennsylvania and Maine," yet its purpose was'made clear. Mr. Maine is entered for the race. Mr. Harrison is served notice that his claim wilt not be resrarded. When Harrison selected Blaine for the chief place ia his cabinet he may hare fancied that he had (helved a formid able rival. Whether there was any understanding, tacit or expressed, between these men regarding the renomnation which one-term presidents usually seek is not likely to be known save by themselves. Mr. Blaine himself, s nan of moods, who seems to fear each ache and shiver of advancing age as t veritable death summons, hat not de dared Ids purpose as te 19r2, nor has he committed himself to say public expression favoring the reaomisation ef Harrison. If Harrison shall find Blaine utterly selfish, ignoring wholly the restraint which a cabinet officer puts upon his political ambition when his chief is in the field, he will have learned one phase ot the Blaine char acter of which he had sufficient warn ing" in the man's public career. He was exalted to the speakership aad abused that great trust for his peraossl enrichment. The emeer who was false to the nation will experience no qnalm of eonscienee, ne. sting of compunction ia disappointing Harrison's expecta tion of his eeeduct regarding a presidential nomination. Whether or sot Blaine will be a candidate will depend upon the condition ef his health or the outlook as he may sec it The man who tvWw3" canvass of '1SS4 aad lost will not lightly enter upon another trial. Rut it is not likely that Harrison's hopes or fesrs wiU give him meat's uneasiness. Chicago Ti HARRISON QUOTES HISTORY. A Ore Immk W mi in vi vVarw rfile. In his speech at St Albans President Harrison nested from another speech made at the same place fourteen ago this sentence: "Trading Manches ter seat two ree-imeate to eenouer s market" Taw, the president said, recalled to his ausd the fact that one of the great motives of resistance on the part of the colonies was the unjust trade restrictions and,exneka which were imposed spea mem by the senatry in eider te severe the A kaa market tor the British terer." Bat the recalling at these things to mind docs not seem to have hW seed ia the mind of the preeiihst a pirsestion of the folly of the Mother country ia wrenosing trade sr.J industry their natural eoarsee by arhittsrr rss-a folly whieh cost her Mm; richest of her colonial trsmarss aadahsnged the stemm of modern events.

Why did the mother country think '4 nesassary to impose unjust trade rvstrictt&ns nail exactions in order to seenre the American market for the British manufacturer.' Wiry did she think it neesssary to bend turn efJJsmWnseme JHHm SmMWptJ mma3ep Taten eee4MNms to eoneuer a market? Obviously for the reason last manufacturers were springing up ht America in spite of the arbitrary restrictions and exactions imposed by the British government There could not have been sny other reason. But lor the development of manufacturing ia the colonies the British nsauufaetufer would have held csra sVnV4s4HK4ft4Mm swvaVgKv1 reelftMs tOn $ss terventioa of the British government with He arbitrary sad harsh msnsarei in their behalf. It is an interesting sad instructive fact, which does not seem to have taught the president any mora than it has taeght-Mr. McKinley, that ia splto of the repressive measures adopted by the BiMtuh government, whieh went so far as to declare certain colonial enterprise and genius of the colonists were pushing both commerce and manufactures with such energy and success ss to alarm Maaehester. Xot only without protection, of any kind, but in spite of ' the sevei est repressive measures, the American colonists were coming rapidly not only to supply their

pawn wants, but . to supply the people of other countries with manufactures, and in fact they actually exported considerable quantities of iron. That was a century -and - a quarter ago, whea the rape! alien ef the - cole nies must have bees), lees man four millions, and when the prodigious natural resources of the country were almost unknown. And. yet the president aad Mr. MeKinley assure us that now, with an enterprising, energetic and enlightened population of sixtyfour million, with resources the most varied and in many respects; unsurpassed, with the best" of industrial appliances nnd with the best means of intercommunication, natural and artificial, our industries are poor, feeble infants that would perish miserably if they were weaned, from .the government bottle. It is enough to any that they offer .a gross insult to the American character. Chicago Herald. THE SPIRIT OF PROG ESS. XnternrM Men of tft sr JehMsg me It used to be the brag of republican enthusiasts that in those sections of the west where railroad and telegraph lines had penetrated and men were intelligent and the community felt the impulse of niolern progress, the democratic party w&x in the vocative. This boast is no longer te snide. The mountain region of eastern Kansas, for instance, that in the days of its exclusion from the influences of civilisation used to vote the straight republican ticket, signalizes its opening of communicsnoas with the owter workl by electing democratic candidates. The change ia an indication of the spirit that pervades the whole country, and that i as marked ia centers ef culture and refinement, like Massachusetts or elsewhere. The truth is that the brainy, thoughtful and observing young men of the present day are joining the ranks of dmoeracy. They are tired of the dried bone awl worn out theories of the republican platforms and naturally ally themselves with a party that sympathize with the politic al needs and aims to secure the prosperity of the mattes.

X.KSSOK COMMKXT8. While Jeans lived ia Nasareth, for nearly thirty years, lie had often seen the sliepherds with their nooks of sheep, lie saw how tenderly they eared for their sheep. Doubtless He knew also the story of David aad his nook, and how David attacked and killed a lion aad a bear, at the risk of his own life, in defense of his sheep. In the east the shepherd always leads his flock, instead of driving tbera, as we do; aad he earls them "by name," literally, and they obey his voice. All this Jesus had wv doubtedly noticed; and in our lesson today lie compares Himself to the feed shepherd. As a good shepherd for his flock, so, Jesus says, He for nil Hh true followers. A good shepherd is willing to die for his sheep. He will not flee when the wolf comes to destroy the flock, nut will boldly meet him and risk his Hfe in the defense of his eharge. This is just what Jesus did. He not only risked, but He laid down His life for Ilk sheep. They were lost 'on the dark mountains of sin; aad He went oat aad nought for them, antn He found thsm. How much fat involved in the little wore "until" we can never teU.

Yet He willingly paid it, because of Hh love for Hh sheep. Aote again, the good shepherd hh sheen. When they have into dangerous places, he Ufts ap his voice and calls them back. He them, not because he wants to 1 but became ke wants to help them. He knows better than they where dangers Be, and where the path of safety m to be found. So Jesus calls as all. He .says: "Come unto Me, all ye that are weary aad heavy laden, aad I wnl ghre you rostM Through the still, matt votes of the Holy Spirit He cells every one to Hbnserf. Kot became He wants to mar oar pleasures, bat bscauas He wants ns to walk in green pastures, aad to feed beside still waters of safety.
