CHAPTER XIII. IN PRISON.

For a moment after the shot from Doc's pistol. Bell Diamond felt that he _* TL— was in danger of recapture. Then, commanding all his energies, he siezed the oars with both hands, and despite the pain and bleeding, was soon out of danger of such a catastrophe.

It was five o'clock inthe afternoon when he drew up at the wharf at Cedarville, pale, bloody and weak. He turned his footsteps at once toward the office of the Boston & Cedarville railroad company.

That imprisonment under the charge of Doc's father, was to prove a more serious affair than the young man realized at the lime.

The same morning of the escape, Mr. Dupage had been awakened about four o'clock ty a noise in the library. He had descended cautiously and had seen a dark iorm just entering the window. In a moment he had fired. There was aloud cry, and the' robber dropped to the ground, leaving a trail of blood to give evidence of his successful endeavor to rob the private safe of the railroad manager.

Another surprise was in store for him. When the name of Bell Diamond, accused of robbery, was called in the criminal court that morning, neither attorney nor

Sonds

risoner put in an appearance. The were forfeited, and Mr. Dupage stood liable in the sum of. five thousand dollars.

The rumor soon spread that the young Man had fled, and the manager despite his faith in Bell, began to have serious doubts in regard to his honesty and fidelity for near the window of his library he had found—Bell Diamond's conducter star! Bell had missed this, but did not doubt that it had fallen off during his escapade.

As the train on the Cedarville® Clifton road came in, a well dressed, gentlemanly leokiug young man stepped forward to the engine. "Ned Darrell? he said, half interrogatively. "I am Mr. George Grimshaw. I b$ar a letter irom Mr. Diamond."

The engineer opened the letter and read: ToW HOM IT MAT COHOBRX "Mr. George Grimshaw, the bearer hereof, will take eutire charge of the Cedarville railroad, under my sanction, until further notice. All employes will obey orders proceeding from him as the manager of thUjiioe.

BEM. DIAMOND,-Lessee."

••Where i« Bell?" queried Ned, in some gurpri*e. "He was called away unexpectedly on some urgently business." "Is it not singular?"

"It was necessity, he assured me, which called him away for a week or so." S,J Mr. Grimshaw became the acting manager of the road at once.

Sam Arnold was uneasy all that day. Faaii'iivrity with crime had hardened his nature, but he could not refrain from an eux t'on of regret at the violence to Bell Diamond. With a fool's philosophy, bowever, he reasoned all fears of detection awav, and was busy at the office at five o'clock that afternoon, when he started.

Start d! ay, started and paled. Had an avenging specter come from the grave and confronted him he could not have been more startled. There stood Bell Diamond, pale and bloody. He leaned against the wall for meiofot, opened hfs lips to apeak, am! then staggered forward and fainted dead away on the floor of the

There was no one in the room but Sam Arnold. There was no time for delay. Bell Diamond had escaped from his captor-. and had returned to denounce them. Tfce vault door stood .open a quksk th u*hi flushed throngh his brain.

way, and then overtaxed nature gave out again, and he fell to the flpor in a swoon as a police officer entered the reom.

When he awoke it was nine o'clock at ni^ht, and he was the inmate of a prison

That n%ht, an hour before Bell was restored to consciousness, an elegantlydressed stranger entered the jailont office. "I am a correspondent of a Boston journal," he said, "and I wish to obtain the particulars of the case of the young man named Bell Diamond."

The jailor accepted a cigar from his visitor, and proceeded to relate the story of the young railroader.

To-day caps the cl»max," concluded the jailer. "He fast night attempted the burglary of Mr. Dupage's library, and to-night was discovered locked up in a vault at the railroad office. In my opinion he is the most desperate burglar and thief of the nineteenth century.

The jailer yawned heavily. Was it the cigar that affected him so? In a minute or two he lost all reason and sank into a deep sleep. When he again opened his eyes his visitor was gone, and the next morning the discovery was made that a key unlccking a side door leading to the jail yard was mining.

About half "an hour after the correspondent of the Boston press had called at the prison at Cedarville, two men were standing under the shadow of the prison wall, on the resr side of that huge piece of masonry, conversing in low whispers, while a few yards distant was a close carriage, with the muffled form of a driver on the box. "Have you got the boy?" demanded one the ofmen, who wa-b no other than Doc, the gambler, and who carried one arm in a Bling. "Yea." "Then unlock the door." •'Wait." I "What for?" "I want to see if everything is ready." "Yes, it is," impatiently replied the other. "Have you the files?" "Yes." "And the saws?" "Yes." 0 "And the jimmy?" "I have everything, I tell you. Come, come, Jet us in."

Grimshaw unlocked the gate, for it was he who had taken it from the jailer, and the two men stood in the prison yard. "What story is it?" queried Doc.

The second stoiy, fourth window from the center water-pipe," was the rep^y. The young man Grimshaw learned the various details from his companion, and commenced the ascent of the water-pipe with an agility born of long practice at similar business. Be soon reached the window and applied his saw and file. In a few moments he had wrenched the bars away from the window.

Bell Diamond had juBt recovered sensibility. He came to the window as he heard a voice in the darkness whisper: "Come there is a rope ladder leading to the ground.''

In his perfect senses it is possible that the young man would have hesitated ere he lent himself a party to a jail delivery but his head was confused, his senses disturbed, and he acted on a sudden impulse.

The visitor had descended to the ground before him. ''This way," said th4 gambler hastening through the the darknes?, toward the gate.

The escaped prisoner followed him. They passed through the gate and toward the coach. Here Bell drew back.

You are Grimehaw!" he cried, rtcoilin as he recognized the gambler, "In witti you if you wish to escape?" "I do not, at your hands." "The gambler beckoned to the driver. In a moment he had dismounted and Bell was thrust into the vehicle. The door was closed afid he found himself seated between the two gamblers and a pair of revolvers held at his head "One cry, one word, and we firt!" said Doc in a ineacing tone of voice. The prisoner remained prudently silent. The coach passed on rapidly, and they soon left the aved street for a sandy road amid trees, hey were out in the country.

What are you going to "do with me?" abruptly queried Bell. "Keep you where you can't get away very ?oou," replied Doc. "What reason have you for this crime?" "Because we love you," sneered Grimshaw. "Gentlemen, my business is suffering, and you are dt^troyiog my character by thus imprisoning me get away if rou will, but set me free." "Hear him,:' laughed Doc. "I should rayther think not, young ninn." "You can't keep me always." "We don't want to." "And you'll MifiVr for thi*, some time." "Oh, 1 guess not." "You will see."

They had drawn up before a large edifice, looking like a factory, and then the coach ftopped. "Get out here,"i«fcid Grimshaw,

The young man alighted. They led him up a flight of steps and into a'sort of hall, ringiog a bell as they did so. A large, portly man met them. "Hello Grim, what's the game?" "Oh, here's a chicken to keep quiet for a few day*. Can you accommodate him?" "Ye*." "All right. Take him in charge he's a slippery one, so watch him close. Any coney ready?" "No." "We've a good chance to shovejthe tiger, now." "I'll ship several barrels of merchandise by water in a few days.** **I understand." 'v "v"*

Bell was mvstified by the conversation, and waa led 'by a man up two flights of stairs, and into a large, roomy apartment on the fourth floor.

The place had window* strongly barred and closed shutter*. The apartment waa ordinarily furnished. "Now, young man, yon may stay here, and don't go roving around. Fin aorry I can't give you a latch-key. Be a good boy and I will send you aUght Ta, ta,"and, laughing at hia own wit, the man left the room, locking the door after him.

A second man, drowsed in a common working suit, soon after entered the room with a lamp and a tray containing supper, and left the apartment without speaking a word.

Bell Diamond slept some that night, but all through the dark hours he heard ever and anon the click or jar of machinery at work.

CHAPTER XIV. TKE OOCSTEAFWTEITS. Tlamoad was in a fix. He awoke

OK oing following hia release from

n, feeling more refreahed than be had or several days. Hia arm waa a little stiff and painful, but the servant who brought hia breakfast bathed and dressed it, and he waa in a very comfortable frame of mind indeed, considering the intricate troubles in which he had become involved.

Of course hia every thought was of escape. Through the open spaces of the abutters, he could see a little town not far away.

The building he was ih Was need for some manufacturing pHrpose, and he be gan to look around hia place of abode .to see if there was any chance of getting out of hia confinement. But there was no show of escape, and only one means of reaching the floor below.

The aides of the apartment were plastered and wbitewaahed, and, except the door and windows, presented an nnbroken surface. The ceiling had a trap-door, but was so high above the floor that the prisoner gave up any thought of an escape in that direction.

The door and windows were strong, and resisted any attempt to force an exit. _In knocking" upon th noted something. One spot seemed hoi-

le wall, however, Bell

low that is, gave back a sound which in dicated an unusual thinness in the partition. It was a square spot in one corner of the room, and our hero resolved to ascertain the cause of this difference.

Placing his foot againBt the spot, he pressed upon it with all his power, when suddenly there was a giving way, and a square hole appeared. It proved that a board had been fitted into an opening, and nicely plastered over.

The building had been occupied as a planing mill and wood turning establishment, and through the hole he had made he discovered a chute—that is, a narrow, four-sided wooden trough—leading from the different stories to the basement or en-

§ust

ine-room. Any accumulation of sawor shavings was shoveled into this chute, which led into an immense bin, near the hoiler, where it was soon consumed as fuel, thus saving litter and more expense heating material.

That this had at one time been a manufacturing building Bell did not doubt but it must be confessed that he hesitated before committing himself to the uncertainty of a slide of fifty feet down the plane before him.

It looked dubious, but he resolved ,to try it. He cleared away the rubbish carefully, and then drew the table to the spot, so as to cover the hole from the view of any one entering the door. Then he crawled into the hole feet foremost and let go his hold, after uttering a silent prayer for success in his endeavor to escape.

He glided swiftly along the smooth surface of the chute, and received only a few slight scratches in the descent. Then there was a sudden termination of his dark and perilous slide, and he found himself upon a pile of damp sawdust and shavings.

The first words that reached bis ears were: "Silence, there!" "What's the row?" "Something. Let's look."

There was a sound as of the rustling of paper, and Bell could hear two men stepping around. Then he managed to find out his true position. He was lying in the refuse box, which was located in a damp (cellar, where no ray of daylight seemed to penetrate. Two greasy lamps hung from the cobwebbed and moldy ceiling, and a table, several barrels and a lot of rubbish constituted the contents of the cellar.

The men looked around the place for some minutes, and, satisfied that no one was there, resumed their work. One of them pulled a pile of paper, cut in pieces about five inches long and two and a half inches wide, from the place he had secreted them under the table, and both men resumed their singular occupation, which consisted in cutting from large sheets a number of smalhpieces of paper, covering them with the black dust, and then rubbing them in their hands. "You're scary, Jack," said one of them, he cut the counterfeit bills, for Buch they seemed to be, from the sheets. "I'd better be. I've been beat too many times just as the issue was ready, and I'm suspicious of every sound. When do the barrels of merchandise go?" "This aftemoon.| "Where?" I "To Rockville."t "To Rockville?" "Yes." "Why not to Cedarville?" "Too hot." VtH l^t "How's that?" "The detectives are there from Boston, working up some business that Grimshaw and Doc had a hand in, and we changed the programme." "Dt they go by rail?" "No—bv water. Reg'lar scow to take 'em in. Call it cement, if any questions are asked." 1

iise go?"

Oil

Bell was mystified, but he soon udderstood the meaning of the conversation. They were manufacturers of counterfeit money, and also shippers of it.

He continued his watch of the two^men through a crack in the bin, and cautiously observed their operation#.

A barrel, such as is ordinarily used for roein, cement or salt, was first covered at the bottom with an inch or two of paper. Then a lot of paving stones were put in then two thicknesses of woollen blanket, followed by a foot in depth of tightly-

The barrels were then headed up ready for shipping. The men were thus busily engaged at their work when a bell sounded from above. They suspended operations, ascended the steps leading to the floor above, and then disappeared, locking the door after them. "Now or never!'' murmured Bell, a* he sprang bom his biding place and exam tned the windows and doors. Alas! iron ban and sturdy resistance met every effort.

A quick thought struck him. Hie barrvl* contained money—th«r were to be shipped that afternoon. Why not escape in one of them? He *«oon complete!jr emptied one which had not up, bid everything but the two upper thicknesses of paper in the rubbish or refuse bin, and then, after wearing a knife, got into the barrel and pulled the over his head.

He found no difficulty in breathing, but his cramped position was certainly an uncomfortable one. That, however, could be changed, an soon as the barrel was beaded up. As it w*a he did not dare to stir for fear of d»tnrbing the paper oov-

ifaniril h"— before the the men returned. When they finally entered the cellar they proceeded to work immediately One of them headed up the barrel in

which the tad waa secreted, nailed it like the others, and then said to his companion: "Fourteen barrels." "That's right what's our percentage?" 'Let me see five cents on the dollar," reconed the other. "There's one thousand tens, one thousand fives, two thousand twos, and twenty-five thousand ones. That makes forty-four thousand dollars. Five ner cent, is two thousand, two hundred dollara. Good enough." "And its all Boston bills?" "Yes." "Who is it shipped to?" "Barbour AVansant, Rockville." "Which means "The b'hoys. They've worked this run pretty fairly, but it is a risky business What's that?"

In his close quarters Bell had torn tbe paper away from over his head, and with the knife had punctured a dozen minutes ute breathing holes through the barrel, one of which he had enlarged to a hole sufficient to see through. He heard a confused tramp over head, and aloud knock at the door. "It's the cops," cried one of the men, in alarm. "I guess not," and he unbolted the door.

It was the man who had admitted Bell and his captors the night before. He was in a state of intense excitement. "The boy!" he cried. "What boy?" "The boy they brought here last night." "What of him?" queried one of the men. "He has escaped!. We'll have the whole police force down on us before night. Search the cellar." "He ain't here." "He must be. The chute has been tapped, and he got out that way."

A general search of the cellar ensued. It was entirely unsuccessful, no clew to the escaped prisoner being found. "He's gone some other way," said Jack. "He's opened the chute as a blind, by accident, and slipped away while you were looking for him."

The man hurried away, *, "Hold on," cried Jack, as lie 'was leav-

"What is it?" rU[Hp*'i'lc "The merchandise. "The wagon is at the door?" "Yes." The barrels were soon after dragged up a barrel-ladder with a rope. Our hero very soon after found himself jolting along in a wagon, in company with thirteen other barrels. Surely an unenviable position.

The vehicle drew up beside a boat, a common scow, and the barrels were transferred to it. Fortunately Tor our hero, so far as ventilation was concerned, he was piled on top of the other barrels.

The barge commenced its slow progress down the lake, closely hugging the shore. He could see the shadows, the houses and the water through his lookout. A quick push of his foot would have released him, but there were four persons on board the boarge.

It waa dark when they reached Rock vile. Here, in removing the barrel in which he was confined accidentally fell overboard. It was quickly fished up, however, and, except a slight wetting, Bell escaped any serious injury.

The barrels were closely guarded, and driven to a little hut on the outskirts of the town, and rolled into a large and rudely furnisned apartment. He a dozen men sat at a table,-smoking, drinking and playing cards. An unusual stir welcomed the advent of the counterfeit money, and barrel after barrel was opened, and its contents removed.

Our hero shuddered as be heard the men roll up his barrel, turn it up on one end, and knock at the hoops. He did not intend to wait for the breaking in of the head, bui prepared for a sudden leap, when, just as the head of the barrel gave way,'he heard a loud commotion at the door, followed by a series of shots and yellB.

The lights were quickly blown out,

and there was the sound of hurried scuffling and hasty conversation in the apartment. There was trouble in the camp, sesious trouble, but Bell could not determine just then what it was all about. [TO BE CONTINUED.]

A HARVARD STUDENT. I have just had a talk with a Harvard student who is acting as a servadt—he frankly names himself as such—recently at one of the inns. I had noticed him at the table, having been struck by his well bred, superior manner, and after dinner engaged him in conversation. Any one would have known that he was not in the place to which he was naturally accredited that he was, to use that much misunderstood and abused term, a gentleman. It is so rare to see a gentleman—we mention the title in the capacity of a servant —that I asked him a number of questions, not from idle curiosity, but from geuuine interest. He appreciated my notiee and talked freely. He lost his father six years ago, and at a time when it was unfortunate for the family property, which came to nothing in the settlement beyond very small competence for his mother. He was resolved to be educated. His father had been a Harvard man, and so had two of his brothers, his seniors, both dead He had no money, but he was determined to make his way. He taught for three years in a couutry school at a small salary, but he saved every penny, and was enabled to enter college/ There he is in the habit of coaching other boys, and by doing everything that comes in his way he is enabled to get money onough to meet his expenses. His classbooks are expensive, and though he could borrow enough to render him easy, he has a horror of being in debt. Having learned that he could earn twenty dollars or so a month by being a waiter, he applied for and procured a situation.

He could make twice as much by receiving gratuities, but these he invariably declined, adding, with a touch of irony: "When a gentleman turns servant he must, I suppose, draw the line somewhere." Having aeked him if he were not aomrtiffw* treated rudely by 'persons whom he served, he answered "Ob, yea frequently. But that is to be expected. I do not lopk to be treated differently from any other servant When I choose to fill a servant's place I have no right to expect exceptional treatment I confess I am mortified—deeply wounded sometimes— but I smother my feelings and return cour

tesy for clownishness. People are not rude from malice, but from lack of reflection, and you can't make reflection general you know. I have had more than one man apologise to me for hasty temper, and the am on the whole surprised to see with how much consideration am met. I have concluded that the hot way to secure the treatment

IWATT.

the best way to sea gentleman deserves

—you will pardon my frequent use of the word, for which no other is a substituteis to be a gentleman under any and all circumstances." That Harvard youth, unless I gravely err, will amount to something. If any number of the men he waits on were his equals in character, self-disci-pline and independence, I should have increased respect for the human family.— Exchange.

IGNORANCE OF BRAZILIAN WOMEN. Owing to the rigid seclusion in which women are kept, society has few charms The mind of tbe Brazilian female is left, in all the wild luxuriance of uncultivated nature her existence is monotony itself, gliding ou its dull course in the society of her slaves, to whom, in point of intellect, she is little superior but her manners are Boft and gentle, and her sensibilities, when roused, have ail the fiery energy of her native clime. Interesting rather than beautiful, her sedentary life tinges her cheek with a sickly hue while early marriage gives to her figure an exuberant embonpoint, which, however, in the Oriental taste of the country, is considered the beau ideal of personal beauty in both sexes. In this precocious climate ladies are grandmothers at seven-and-twenty. Female education is an absolute nullity while it is seldom one meets with an educated man. Indeed, the average Brazilian is completely given over to self-indul-gence, gambling, and sensual excesses.

THE SUIOIDE CITY. Buffalo Courier.

San Erancisco may fairly be catted the "Suicide City." From 1860 to 1874 the reported cases of self destruction averaged about tbirty-five a year among the white population. But in the latter year tbe number suddenly jumped to sixty-one, and it has since reaobed 103. Comparative statistics show that the proportion of suicides to all deaths in San Francisco is fally three times as great as in New York, although instances of self destruction are from various causes extremely frequent in the latter city. Tbe mania for self destruction in the chief city of the Pacific slope is attributed to the consequences of tbe universal passion of tbe population for gambling in mining stocks. Suicide increased with tbe growth of tbe mining excitement, and since the collapse of mining shares in 1877, over 200 persons .have cut short their existence with their own hands. Taken in connection with the bhsiness losses, crimes, suffering and disorders of tbe last few years, the Bonanza mines have not preved an unmixed blessing to tbe people of the Golden Gate.

LOUISVILLE BEAUTIES. New Orleans Picayune. This is a charming city, the people are so hospitable, and the girls so lovely. True, many of them are Inclined to be somewhat fast, and paint and powder are as well known to them as pure water and soap are to our girls. Such is life, and as long as a man believes he is happy, ignorance is bliss all tbe world over, and is not confined to Louisvil by a large majority. When in tiie crowded ball room we beud near the shrine of beauty and pour out the promptings of an overflowing heart, we do not reflect that the balr of our goddess may be false, her eyebrows darkened, her cheeks painted, uud ber sweet breath the scientific compound of some druggist's clerk we do not consider how she would look divested of her war paint and false batteries, and seated at the head of our breakfast table in a morning dress. Dr. Franklin's advice to young men was: "If you admire a young lady, and wish to know her as she really is, call upon her in the morning." I have tried it and the result was not pleasant—only a fleeting vision going heavenward two steps at a time, of a lovely creature in loose dress,and disheveled tresses.

SICK ROOM ULES.

§3*if

BY FRANK CAHOON.

"i*l»

Keokuk Constitution.

1. Whenever you go to see a sick person never take a brass band brass hands are more or less expensive. If, however, you take a brass band with you, let each man play a different air, finishing up by "Tam 0'Sbanter"on the bass drum. It is best to have this last executed in tbe room directly underneath tbe sick chamber. 2. Always ring the bell as though you were trying to pull the back yard out by the roots. Continue this until you have seven or eight fire engines playing on tbe bonse. 3. If you can't get in by the front way either knockout a window, or go up on to the roof by the lightning rod. This latter plan will ertable you, if tbe house is a irame one, to kick all the boards loose and provide a matinee for those Inside the house. After you have reached tbe roof, if you baven't strangled yoursell with profanity, cough up your false teeth and yell down the scuttle for a step ladder. 4. Always bear a cheerful counte nance. If yon go into the sick chamber looking like a 35 cent cbromo of a Paw nee cemetery, it will be apt to throw a damper on tbe festivities. 5. Talk cheerfully. Commence by saying that the Asiatic cholera ban started on a pleasure trip at reduced rates, and tbat tbe hoop bueiur-ss *.s quite brisk or, tay tbat seventy-live tons of nitro glycerine began a business engagement near a circus in some place in New York, and tbat tbe autLoritie» in all tbeprindpal cities of the country have been telegraphed to wait on the remains as they arrive. 6. Talk as loud as you can, so tbat people in tbe next township will think a theological student, home on a vacation, is keeping bis luogs in training.

A few suoh rules as these kept in mind during a visit to a sick friend will be apt to prove beneficial, as it will inspire the patient with more will and a stronger determination to live and create a sort of vacuum In your family.
