A Brave Coward. Ey Robert Louis Stevenson.

CHAPTER VI. (Continued.) "Is it in the pavilion T" I asked. "It is; :)!.(! I Willi it was in the bottom of the sea in.-tr;ui.' said Northmour; and then suddenly "What are you making f;tces at nr for?" he tried to Mr. Himeilestone. on whom I had un- ! tent ioasly turned ir.y back. "Do yoii think Gnasttifl would s"ll you?" Mr. Haddleatoac protested that nothing had been further from his mind. 'It ii a good thin;..'" retorted Northmc;;r. in his ugliest manner. "You BSifht end by warying us. What were you going to say?" he added, turning to me. "I was going to propose an occupation for the afternoon." said I. "Let us carry that money out. piece by piece, and lay it down before the pavilion door. If the Carbonari come, why, it's th- Ira, at any rate." "No. No!" cried Mr. Hnddlestone: it does not. it cannot belong to them! It should be distributed pro rata among all my creditors." "Come, now. Huddles tone," said Northmour. "none of that." "Well, but my daughter." moaned the wretched man. "Toot daughter will do well enough. Hf re are two suitors, Tassilis and I. reit her of us begg;:rs. between whom ehe has to choose. And as for yourself, to make an end of arguments, you have no right to a farthing, and. unless Im Brack mistaken, you are going to die." It was eertalaly very cruelly said, tut Mr. Hnddlestone was a man who attracted little sympathy, ad, although I saw him wince and shudder, I mentally indorsed the rebuke: nay, I added a contribution of my own. 'Northmour and I." I said, "are willing enough to help you to save your i. e. but not to escape with stohn property." He struggled for a while with himself, as though he were on the point of giving way to anger, but prudence had the best of the controversy. ' My dear boys." he said, "do with are or my money what you will. I leae it all in your hands. Iet me compose myself." And so we left him. gladly enough I am sure. The last that I saw. be had nee more taken up his great Bible, and with tremulous hands was adjusting his spectacles to read. CHAPTER VII. The recollection of that afternoon "will always üe graven on my mind. We debated over and over again my proposal with regard to th a money, and nac we been in complete possession of ur faculties I am sure we should have condemned it as unwise; but we were Buttered with alarm, grasped at a atraw and determined, although it was as much as advertising Mr. Huddlestone's presence in the pavilion, to carry my proposal into effect. The sum was part in specie, part in tank paper and part in circular notes, payable to the name of James Gregory. We took it out, counted it, inclosed It nee more in a dispatch-box belonging to Northmour and prepared a letter in Italian which he tied to the handle. It was signed by both of us under oath, and declared .that this was all the money which had escaped the failure of the house of Hnddlestone. This was. perhaps, the maddest action ever perpetrated by two persons professing to "be sane. Had the dispatch-box fallen into othr hands than those for which it was intended, we stood criminally convicted on our own written testimony: but. as I have said, we were neither of us in a. condition to judge soberly, and had a thirst for action that drove us to do something, right or wrong, rather than fridure the agony of waiting. Moreover, as we were both convinced that the hollows of the link were alive with hidden spies upon our movements, we hoped that our appearance with the "box might lesul to a parley, and. perTiaps. a compiomise. It was nearly 3 when we issued from the pavilion. The rain had taken off . the sun shone quite cheerfully. I have never seen the gulls fly to close about the house or approach so fearlessly to human beings. On the very eloorBtep one flapped heavily past our heads, and uttered its wild cry in my very ear. "There is an omen for you." said Korthmour, who. like all freethinkers, was much under the influence of superstition. "They think we are already dead." I made some light rejoinder, but it was with half my heart, for tire circumstance had impressed me. A yard or two before the gate, on a patch of smcKjth turf, we set down the d is natch -box : and Northmour waived a white handkerchief over his head. Nothing replied. We raised out voices, and cried aloud in Italian that we were there as ambassadors to arrange the quarrel ; hut the stiUness remaineM unbroken save by tho sea gulls and the nurf. I had a weight at my heart when me desisted, and I saw that even Northmour was unusual y pale. He looked over his shoulder nervously, as thcrugh be feared that some one had rept between him and the pavilion door. "By clod." he said in a whisper, "this li too much for me!" I replied in the saun- key: "Suppose Chert should le none, after all!" "Look :her'" h- returned nodding with his bead, as though he h:;d been afraid to point. I glanced in the direction indicated, j

and there, from the northern corner of the Sea-Wood, beheld a thin column Of smoke rising steadily against the now cloudless sky. "Northmour. " T said (we still continued to talk in w hispers ). "it is not possible to endure this suspense. I prefer death fifty tim.es over. Stay you here to watch the pavilion: I will go forward and make sure, if I have to walk right into their camp." He looked once again all around him with puckered eyes and then nodded assent ingly to my proposal. My he-art beat like a sledge-hammer as I set out. walking rapidly in the direction of the smoke: and though up to that moment I had felt chill and shivering, I was suddenly consc ious of a glow of heat over all my body. The ground in this direction was very uneen: a hundred men might have lain hidden in as many square yards about my path. But I had not practiced the business in vain: chose such routes as cut at the very root of concealment, and. by keeping along the most convenient ridges, commanded several hollows at a time. It was not long before I was rewarded for my caution. Coming suddenly on to a mount somewhat more elevated than the surrounding hummocks I saw. not thirty yards away, a man bent almost double and running as fast as his attitude permitted along the bottom of a gully. I had dislodged one of the spies from his ambush. As soon as I sighted him I called loudly In English and Italian, and he. seeing concealment was no longer possible, straightened himself out. leaped from the gully and made off as straight as an arrow for the borders of the wood. It was none of my business to pursue; I had learned what I wanted - that we were beleaguered and watched in the pavilion, and I returned at once, and walking as nearly as possible in my old footsteps, to where Northmour awaited me beside the dispatch-box. He was even paler than when I had left him and his voice shook a little. "Could you see what be was like?" he asked. "He kept his back turned. I replied. 'Let us go into the house. Prank. I don't think I'm a coward, but I can stand no more of this." he whispered. All was still and sunshiny about the pavilion as we turned to re-enter it. even the gulls had flown in a wider circuit, and were seen flickering along the beach and sandhills, and this loneliness terrified me more than a regiment under arms. It was not until the door was barricaded that I could draw a full inspiration ami relieve the weight thai lay upon my bosom. Northmour and I exchanged a steady glance, and I suppose each made his own reflections on the white and startled aspect of the oher. "You were right." T said. "All Is over. Shake hands, old man. for the last time." "Yes." replied he. "I will shake hands for as sure as I am here I bear no malice. But, remember, if by some impossible accident we should give the slip to these blackguards. I'll take the upper hand of you by fair or foul." "O!" said I. "you weary me." He seemed hurt, and walked away In silence to the foot of the stairs. The remainder of the day was passed in the same dreadful tedium and suspense. I laid the table for dinner, while Northmour and Clara prepared the meal together In the kitchen. I could hear their talk as I went to and fro, and was surprised to find it ran all the time upon myself. Northmour again bracketed us together, and rallied Clara on a choice of husbands, hut he continued to speak of me with some feeling, and uttered nothing to my prejudice unless be included himself in the condemnation. This awakened a sense of gratitude in my heart which combined with the immediateness of our peril to fill my eyes with tears. After all. I thought and perhaps the thought was laughably vain -we were here three very noble human beings to perish in defense of a thieving banker. Before we sat down to table, I looked forth from an upstairs window. The day was beginning to decline: the links were utterly deserted; the dispateh-lox still lay untouehed where we had left it hours before. Mr. Huddlestone, in a long yellow dressing-gown, took the end of the table, Clara the other, while Northmour and I faced each other from the sides. The lamp was brightly trimmed; the wine was good; the viands, although mostly cold, excellent of their sort. Mr. Hnddlestone was certainly no ordinary character; he had read and observed for himself; his gifts were sound, and, though I could never have learned to love the man. I began to understand his success in business, and the great respect in which he had been held before his failure. He had. above aU. the talent of society; and though I never heard him speak but on this one and most unfavorable occasion. I set him down among the most brilliant conversationalists I ever met. He was relating with great gQStO, and seemingly no feeling of shame, the maneuvers of a scoundrelly commission merchant whom lie had known and studied in his youth, and we were all listening with an odd mixture of mirth and embarrassment, when our little party was brought abruptly to an end in the most Startling manner. A Boise llks thai of a wet Anger on the window-iane interrupted Mr. HuddXestone'fl tale, and in an instant we

were all four as white as paper and sat tongue-tied and motionless round ths table. "A snail." I said at last, for I had heard that these animals make a noise somewhat similar in character. "Snail be d d!" said Nor hmour. "Hush!" The same sound was repeated twice a! regular intervals, and then a formidable voice shouted through the shuttens the Italian word " Trr.ditors!" Mr. Hnddlestone threw Iiis head in the air. his eyellda quivered, next momenr he fell Insensible below the fable. Northmour and I had each run to the armory and seized a gun. Clara was on hr feet with her hand at her throat. So we stood waiting, for we thought the hour for attack was certainly come; but second passed after second, and all but the surf remained silent in the neighborhood of the pavilion. ''uick." said Northmour. "upstair with him before they come."

CHAPTER VIII. Somehow or other, by hook and crook, and between the three of us. we got Bernard Hnddlestone bundled upstairs and laid upon the bed in "My Unclea Room." During the whole process, which was rough enough, he gave no sign of consciousness, and he remained, as we had thrown him. without changing the position of a finger. His daughter opened his shirt and began to wet his head and bosom, while Northmour and I ran to the window. The weather continued clear: the moon, which w;;s now about full, bad risen and shed a clear light upon the links: yet. strain our eye? as we might, we could distinguish nothing moving. "Thank God." said Northmour, "Aggie is not coming tonight." Aggie was the name of the old nurse. He had not thought of'her till HOW: bnl that he should think of hor at all was a trait that surprised me in tho man. We were again reduced to waiting. Northmour went to the fireplace and spread his hand? before the red embers, as if he were cold. I followed him mechanically with my eye.-, and in so doing turned my back upon the window. At that moment a very faint report was audible from without, and a ball shivered a pane of glass, and buried itself in the shut: er two inches from my head. I heard Clara scream, and though I whipped instantly out of range and into a corner, she was there, so to speak before mo. best echlng to know if I were hurt. 1 continued to reassure her. witli the tf nderest caresses and in complete forgetfnlness of our situation, till the voice of Northmour recalled me to myself. "There is one point that we must know." said he. "Are they going to butcher the lot of us. or only Huddlestone? Did they take you for him. or fite at yon for your own bean-: yeaux?" "They took me for him. for c ertain." 1 replied. "I am near as tall, and my head is fair " "1 am going to make sure." returned Northmour, and be stepped up to the window, holding the lamp above bis head, and stood there, quietly affronting death, for half a minute. "Yes." said Northmour. turning coolly from the window: "it's only Huddlestone they want." "Oh. Mr. Northmour!" cried Clara; but found no more to add. the temerity she had just witnessed seeming beyond the reach of words. He, on his part, looked at me. cocking his head with a fire of triumph in his eyes: and I understood at once that he had thus hazarded his life merely to attract Clara's notice, and depose me from my position as the hero of the hour. He snapped his fingers. "The fire is only beginning." he Baid. "When they warm up to their work they won't be so particular." (To be continued.) LOVE AMONG LAPLANDERS. Curious Cuntoma in Vogue Among InhablUntt of t lie Icy Land. When a young Laplander is in love with a girl he and she run a race. He is heavily handicapped, so that she may win if she chooses, and if she outrun him he cannot propose again. Of course she suffers herself to be overtaken If she cares for him. but the consent of her parents must be obtained before she can be married. The law of the land is very strict on this point, and in olden times the man was subject to capital punishment if he married without the consent of the girl's parents. After a Laplander has chosen a brida he sends her a present of a girdle, a ring and a quantity of brandy; he goes so far as the door of her hut, but remains outside until invited to enter, when a bumper of brandy is offered to the girl's father; if he drinks it it is a sign he consents to the marriage, and the young lover then promises to give the girl some clothes, and pays a sum of money, generally 100 ropper dollars, on the spot. This, of course, is a remnant of marriage by purchase, which, in primitive times, succeeded marriaae by capture. Hanns are published once in Lapland and the marriage ceremony is very short. The bride wears her hair loose and has a gold band round her head. Her presents and her dowry are generally reindeer, and site and her bridegroom remain with her parent' for a year after marriage. TtM) Hor Hnd the Hal tie fry. ' rnik about education, that horse ofl the major's has got more .sense and patriotism than a whole lot of people." said the colonel. "That horse, sir, was being curried by a recruit. The man didnt know his business, ilr, and he didn't half do his work, .hist si he bad combed out the horse's tail as a finishing touch and was getting away, the horse shot out his hind legs, snorting, as the recruit went up into the air, Remember the mans.'

COFFEE Af !NURANC5.

The Connection Between the Tito Shi in New York :in fctoSOwi From Neu York Sur1.: There might not seem to be any direct connection between coffee and insurance, but that one exists is attested by many episo.b s in the history of early New York. In 1769 the Old Insurance Ofhee, as it was called, was open from noon to 1 o'clock and fron G to S o'clock in the evening every day at the Coffee house, under Charge of Ke!tas ft Sliarpe. and gave marine Insurance to merchants, secured by subscriptions of unde rwriters. j In 1778. as the destruction of vessels by American privateers increased the risk of navigation, a new insurance office was opened at another coffee house, and from that time on the insurance business of New York was carried on generally in coffee houses. There was a precedent for this in another coffee horse indissolubiy connected with insurance Lloyd's, in London. Edward Lloyd was the enterprising proprietor of a coffee house in Tower street patronised by shippers and merchants. The first mention of it is to be found in the London Gazette of Feb. 21, 1687. During the reign of Charles 11.. and toward the close of the seventeenth century, merchants greatly affected coffee houses, though it was not until 1691 or 1692, when Lloyd removed to the corner of Abehurch lane and Lombard street, that his house became the headquarters of marine insurance with which the name of Lloyd's is now associated. Steele, in the Tatler. and Addison, in the Spectator, notice Lloyd's coffee house, the resort of merchants and shipowners, and the Spectator of April 2... 1711. gives an insignt into th manners and customs of its frequenters. It might reasonably be inferred that coffee, which is a soporific and taken to quiet rather than excite the nerves, would reduce the speculative tendencies even of nautical men and thus offer little inducement to those desirous of procuring hazards on ships. But what seems to have bean the case was this: Something stronger than coffee was indulged in at the coffee houses, and. moreover, they were the places of meeting of those who interchanged maritime experiences. Each patron of the coffee house reported what he had heard- and. perhaps, some things he hadn't. The result of these conferences was a more general understanding of the risks attending navigation, and the prac tice of insuring ship. against loss led gradually to other diversified and larger items of insurance. Mississippi's New Senators. From the Washington Post: Benatoi Sullivan, who will take his seat this week as successor to the late Senator Walthall, by appointment from Gov. IfcLaurln of Mississippi, will be one of the youngest members of that body. He has been in Mississippi for over n wee k, his selection for senator having been assured, BS ihe Post stated several days ago. Although this has been his Br3t tc rm In the house. Mr. Sullivan has taken an active and ('.editable part there for a new member. H has made two or thre speeche s at the day sessions of the bouse and hns participated actively at the Friday night sessions. Although a southern man by birth and associations. Mr. Sullivan has shown himself especially free from sectional prejudice and has never opposed reasonable pensions tc the veterans of the civil war. He was one of David B. Hill's followers In the south, and, while he is a free silver man. he is not radical in bis views. Like Representative Bailey, his brother-in-law. his course in the past has been for a conservative policy that would not estrange the gold democrats. In personal appearance Senator Sullivan is a man of medium size. He is very erect and precise in his bearing and converses with a frank but positive tone. He has a keen eye, an aquiline nose, and features that are rather thin and convey an impression of severity. Notwithstanding this. Senator Sullivan is a very pleasant man socially, and during his service in the house has been popular. He was appointed hy Speaker Heed as a member of the committee on claims and of the committee on Pacific railroads. LARGE LIBRARIES.

Frederick William Germany has 5,000,000 mote books than England. The imperial library of Russia, established by Peter the Great In 1714. !s the third among the world's great libraries. It contains about 1.200.000 volumes ami about 26,000 manuscripts. It attained a place in the front rank of European libraries by the acquisition of the celebrated Zal iski collection; Count Ealuskl bad collected about 260,000 volumes and 10.000 MSS. On the suppression of the Jesu it order In Russia the collection of the books in their possession was taken In charge by Prince Italinski. and. among other libraries, the prince transferred the Znluski collection from the Jesuit college at Warsaw to St. Petersburg. The most important of the manuscripts in tills library is the "Co:lex Sinaiti us" of the Greek Bible, brought from the convent of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai by Prof. Ttachcndorf in 1S.'9.
