SAVED BY A SCRATCH. For twenty years Hamilton Duke was my client. In fact, it was to him that I owed not onlj a comfortable fortune, but my position in society. But for this I should never have un­ dertaken his defense in this last casa. my best feelings were so against him-- not that I was an ingrate, but because I believed that he had murdered his wife. Many things compelled my drawing such a conclusion. He was well-bred, refined and cul­ tured, while she was of common stock, the personification of ignorance and low-breeding. For ten years he was all of chivalry and tenderness to her that a lofty nature could be, while she was always sullen, morose, dissatisfied. It was claimed by their closest friends that he loved her the first few years of their united life, though I never believed this--it was such a mani­ fest impossibility. Any way, he hated her cordially wlieu her life came to its tragic close, and so he had for a considerable period prior to that event. Being entirely in his confidence he of tea came to my office, pallid and trembling, to tell me of some new vul­ gar violence of hers which had driven iiim nearly to the last extremity of des« peration. And so one morning when Mrs. Duke was found dead with an ugly stab through the heart, her husband stand­ ing over her with a reeking knife in hand, I naturally believed that he had killed her. _ Later on, when 1 saw him, my suspi­ cions seemed confirmed. He was in a state of wild excitement Vhen I entered ••ho Sheriff's office in answer to his summous. Until that moment no one had suo- eeeded in getting a word out of him about the murder. "What does it all mean?" I asked, when we were alone. "I don't know," he gasped. "I don't know whether it was I who killed her or not. But 1 don't want to die. I mnsn't be allowed to die. You must defend me--you must save me." Though I pitied him, I believed him guilty, and though I defended him I felt that he merited death. But my efforts were vain ones. The evidence against him was too con­ clusive. An unusual noise in Mrs. Duke's room had attracted the butler's atten­ tion the morning of the murder. On entering he saw Mr. Duke raising up, knife in hand, from the prostrate body of his wife, as if he had just stabbed her. That and the fact that the D takes had indulged in many bitter quarrels of late , was anongh to win a disastrous verdict i There was no help for it, and with She was as good as hoars later I was trahli Jinneward bound; pocket was a reprieve for Dttks~tlM case against him being so strong that the Governor deemed a full pardon im­ politic then. The reprieve granted him another three months, though, and by that time popular sentiment was likely to cool down sufficiently to make a pardon feasible. On the way home I was fairly happy and tried to pioture to myself Duke's face when he knew he was- safe. This made me so comfortable that I fell asleep. Nothing disturbed my slumbers until the trainmen called out the name of the junction where I had to change cars for the branoh road which ran through my town. And there, to my consternation, I found myself unable to move. Men­ tally I wax awake. Physically I was asleep. I was fully oonscions of the stir and bustle made by those who were getting on and off the train; but I couldn't move a muscle. With all my might I endeavored to throw off the tranoe-like spell which held me, but all to no purpose. The train moved on and took me with it. Cold perspiration oozed out through every pore, and I think I would have gone mad then and there, had not utter unconsciousness oome mercifully to my rescue. It was more than an hour before I regained possession of my senses. By that time it was impossible to get back to the junction in time to catch the home-boOnd train on the branoh line. Springingiip, the moment I was con­ scious. 1 explained things to the con­ ductor, offering him any price he chose to detuand if he would run his train back to the junction and take me home. That was out of the question. He could only do such a thing on the order of the generaj superintendent, and that personage could not be reached, be­ cause a storm the day before had blown so many,wires down that all telegraphic communication was cut off. All I could do, then, was to remain on board of the train seven hours more, when by tramping twelve or fifteen miles over a craggy, roadless mountain, I could probably get home by noon. Though the "probably" discouraged me, I thanked the conductor for his ad­ vice, shut my teeth hard on my misery and tried to make the best of it. That was the longest night of my life. It seemed to me that it would never end. Day was just breaking When we reached the station where I was to leave the train and begin my foot jour­ ney over the mountain. Hard as was the ascent of that track­ less. precipitous mountain tide, it was a vast improvement on the train. I was in motion myself now, doing somethiug whether it would avail me anything or not. Soon thesun was up. Altogether too soon it had accomplished half its jour- from horizon to zenith. It was then that I reached the mount­ ain top, with a good seven miles of rough walking still before me. Duke was to be hanged at noon, un­ less I was on time. At 10 o'clock I was but two miles away from him, and with all the hor­ rors of my journey presumably behind | me, I smiled seif-gratulatively at the thought of how easy the rest would be, and of how I would disappoint those who were even then gathering to see my client hanged. A vine caught my foot and threw me. Falling, I sprained my ankle, and the pain was so intense that I had to exert every atom of my will to keep from going into a dead faint. Breaking a forked stick from a sap­ ling presently I extemporized it into a crutch and hobbled oa as best I could. At the end of an hour I had made but half a mile, and was so exhausted that I knew another fifteen minutes would bring my locomotive powers to a full stop. Poor old Duke must die, after all. an from any jury. Mr. Duke was found guilty and sen­ tenced to death. He was to be banged in forty-five days. Beopening a case at that time was not the easy thiug it as now, and I found it impossible to get him a new trial. On and on those grace days swept, seemingly with lightning swiftness, un­ til 1 the time set for the execution was but fifty hours off. I was desperate; Duke was frantic. "You must go to the Governor," he cried at length. "You mast get a par­ don for me." •' "Impossible." I answered. "There isn't enough time." "Yes, there is. This is Wednesday morning, and I am *iot to kaug until Friday nooti. The train gwes in an hour. If you leave here at onoe, you can make the trip and get back here in time." "But on what pretext? Simply see­ ing the Governor will do uo good. I--" "You must think of a pretext oa the way, Don't stay here and talk- You are wasting time and mv life must be saved. Dc go at once." He was in such a wrotight-up efate that there was no use arguing with him, and so I went away, walking about the streets in sheer bewilderment. By blind chance I went to the rail­ ways station, arriving just as the train puiled in. Dejected and reckless, scarcely knowing what I was about, I clambered on board at tho last moment and went whirling way toward the Governor's, bent on a wild, mad pur- i ously yet. outcry of utter despair I settled on the ground iu a heap. The mental angnish I suffered in the half hour which followed was enough to unseat a man's reason. Watch in hand I counted the fleeting seconds. In twenty-five minutes more my client would hang, for want of tike reprieve iu my pocket* And then, joyful sound, I heard ap­ proaching feet! A moment later a negro appeared. He was old, dirty, and stupid--entirely unable to understand me until I men­ tioned money. When I said: "I will give you a hundred dollars if you .get this paper in the hands of the Sheriff before 12 o'clock," with a yell like a fiend he snMtclie^J the reprieve out of my hand atid darted away. Again I soughtWy watch. . My messenger had twenty-two min­ utes in which to eov^r a mile and a half, a portion of his route being through thick underbrush. It was doubtful if he would make it. The hour which patwed before he re­ turned with help seemed a hundred years to me. "I done got dare," he gasped, nearly out of breath, uan' de gem men am all safe." Probably it was unmanly, but I wept for joy. They tried to make a hero of me for that exploit, but I am too commonplace and stolid for that. I had simply done my duty. I had saved my client. That was all. However, I was rewarded more glori- a»w Two LT:tt«re' T »•* int in the r^n her ma- ATCHISON GLOBULSS. pose, which I well knew could only prove entirely fruitless. When the stati n next to my destina­ tion was reached, a woman came^ on board, who iostautly pounced on me and kissed inc. It was my nice. "What under the sun is the'matter with you?" *he demanded. When I told her of poor Duke's pre­ dicament her face became very grave, but the moment she discovered my business with the Governor it bright- i ened. i "How very fortunate!" she exclaimed, ' dapping her hands gleefully, "What? Before Duke's reprieve expired his butler was taken i-eriously ill. Just before he died he made a startling con­ fession. It was he who killed Mrs. Duke. She caught him in the act of stealing her jewels and he killed her to escape punishment. Beturning a moment later to make sure that his victim was dead, he saw Duke beside the dead wo­ man with the bloody knife, aud so made capital of his circumstance by swearing away his employer's life to save his own. --Chicago Herald.

Of course I love him dearly, but I didn't want to be too cheaply won, and so I refused to give him an answer. He dine3 with us to-night.

We were lying at the mouth of the Ho Tong, a small river or creek emptying into the Pacific, and Commander Napier had sent me, with a boatswain named Joe Maxted and a lunch's crew of twelve men,up the creek to hunt for and, if. possible, de­ stroy the strong-hold ot a certain Tar­ tar pirate who had recently made him­ self particularly obnoxious. We got into the oreek and rowed up about .five miles without finding anything or any­ body, and without being molested m any way whatever. Taking with me Joe Maxted and two men and giving orders to the men left in charge of the boat that if we did not return in forty- eight hours they were to come in search of us, we started upon what was un­ doubtedly a very foolhardy trip. After journeying a few miles we sat down to breakfast. Suddenly I heard Joe shout­ ing to me: "For God'saake lie .down on your face." , It saved my life, I just turned «u instant, in time to , see my poor able- bodied seamen on their backs with a dozen arrows in the body of each, and Joe on his face on the ground. The whole wood seemed to be alive with the most horribly-rigged Tartar villains I ever. Bet eyes on. Some had masks on their faces and all carried javelins and great swords. In an instant we were surrounded, and, leaving the two dead bodies where they lay, we were dragged along uutil we came to a 'large clear­ ing. Here was a sort of a village of bamboo huts, little more than an en­ campment of about eighty or one hun­ dred men. We were in the hands of the pirates we had come to exterminate. There was nothing for it They would exterminate us. We had not a chance. Our men wouldn't come after us for two days. There was no hope of a release. We might just as well make up our minds to it. Up to this time we had been so far apart, separated by our guards, that we could not speak to each other or suggest any plans. When we reached the clearing, however, we were brought together, and marched before the most villainous looking rascal I ever set eyes on--evidently the chief of the band. With a hospitality we could not understand, the chief signed us to sit down, and presently a great dish of delicious rice was placed before us and we were, by signs, invited to eat. Our morning trip had made us both hungry, notwithstanding that we had already had some break­ fast, and not even the sad memory of the death *f our comrades could pre­ vent our "pitching in." Theu came bowls of most refreshing, sparkling spring water. What would come next? We noticed, as we finished our repast, a perfectly hellish grin spread over the features of our host. He made a sign and said something which we, of course, did not understand. Two fellows came up and evidently said all was ready, for at another few words we were seized, made to stand on our feet, our arms bound securely to our sides, our ankles tied together and we were dragged oflfc Presently we came to a spot where not a tree of any kind formed the slightest protection from the sun's rays, at^d where at a distance of about six feet apart we saw two large, deep holes., Iu a minute we were dumped, feet fore­ most, one into, eacU hole. Then the beggars began ahov«luig-tb» sandy «oil in on top of us. "They're going to bury us alive 1" said Joe. It was worse than that. That would haye killed us too soon. Thev only buried us to the necks, leaving our heads free, but so securely fixed that we looked like a couple of living heads on a magician's table. Great Godl What horribly conceived torture vas this! While we were, buried belplewg there a brute came up and with a sharp knife carefully shaved a round patch from the tops of our hoads, then another smeared soioe sticky substance thereon. Do not suppose that all Nthis was done in silenoe. By no means. A horrible, yelling, jeering, hooting crowd sur­ rounded us, and now they, came aud threw beastliness of every, . description at us, spat in our faces aud slapped us with flat pieces of bamboo. Thi» went on for a oouple of hour*, and the -t,un beat down upon us with a<most unbear­ able power. Then the flies came in myriads and bit and stung us, and the stench from the filth that had been thrown at us was stilling and inconceiva­ bly sickening. Then came a cry from Maxted which I-'quickly echoed: Ten bu rating! If this don't stopmooa I'll burst!" - The rice and wate* we had swallowed was swelling, aud the weight of the soil creating an enormous resistaneej our agony was intense. Suddenly we heard a hearty British cheer and then a volley of musketry. We were saved. It was several days before either of us recovered and then I heard how our rescue was accomplished. One of the men being displeased at not being chosen to make the excursion with me, had followed us a little dis­ tance through the forest and hearing the savage shouts that our captors gave vent to when we were taken, had gone back to the boat and alarmed our men. i Word was sent to the Tickler and a brigade was dispatched to scour the i woods.

It would be interesting to establish the cost of living in the later Fourteeuth century, to find out what sum repre­ sented wealth and ease, what was con­ sidered the dowry of an heiress, aud what was the average yearly outlay of a wealthy knight or burgess. The knight of La Tour Landry, insisting on the wealth of gome ladies of his acquaint­ ance, says of one of them: "Her hus­ band has certainly 1,500 iivres a year," and of another, "She must, I should think, have an iucorne of £1,700." This was evidently richer for a Fourteenth century nobleman. When the son of the Viscount of Rouen married, under Charles V., his father allowed him £350 a year and his poultry. Two thousand pounds was considered a great dowry tor an heiress, yet the intrinsio worth of this sum was not more than £1,000. Such a great lady as Ermengarde de Lautrec was richly dowered with £1,500. Jeaune de Dam martin brought £850 to Dtieupe Marcel, aud was considered an heiress. The wife of Girand Bonis 1 brought £2*20 to her husband. Regnautt d'Auriac, who at his death left £30,000 tour mo is, was one of the richest mem­ ber* of his class and province^ Bonis himself possessed iu lauded property about the same amount. Guiilaume de Harselli, the great doc­ tor of Laou, was also the possessor of 30,000 Iivres. "of which," says Froiseart, "I suppose he did not speud two sous per diem, for he used to lunch and dine among his patients. But all his pleas­ ure was to grand foison de Jlorins. Aud of such wood, methinks, are all your famous doctors made. We may, therefore, fairly presume this sum of £30,000, found at ATontauban, at Laon, at Montpellier, to represent the fortune of a wealthy burgess. Now, in the Fourteenth century, the normal rate of interest (for those whose scruples allowed them to touch it) was 10 per ceiiL A capital of £30,000 well invested would bring iu at least 3,000 livres. We know that the rent of a large house and garden at Montauban in 1345 was £17 per annum, and that in Paris, at the close of the century, a house fitted up with the newest improvements could be vented for 20- iivres. Therefore, the 3,000 livres a year of our rich provincial merchant, compared with the price of things and contrasted with the wealthy noble's income of 1,500, shows his im­ portance.--TheFortnightly Review.

Strictly speaking there is no ceremony of baptism in this sect, but they have a consecration service which takes its place, although no water is used. On last Sunday evenihg Staff Officer Brown "consecrated" a little child at the meeting at the Ninth and St. Charles street barracks. The mother brought the little one to the platform. Captain Bryan unfurled the flag of the Salvation Army over its head. Captaiu Brown then said to the child's parents : "Are you willing that this child should spend all its life in Salvation war wherever God may choose to send it; that it should be hated, cursed, beaten, kicked, imprisoned or killed for Christ's sake? Do you wish to give up this your child to the Lord, aud this army in the way I have explained?" "We do." Theu lifting the child up. Captain Brown continued: "O, Lord God of Hosts, take this child (naming it) to be your own.
