All Li There was a ran on the Sandhill and District Bank. It had lasted the whole of one day and showed no signs of abating in tfie evening. If it lasted another day--old Mr. Brau- shaw wiped his brow. It was no use talking to his son Dick, for he took no interest in business and had spent the day in a boat with the Flirtin«- ton girls; still Mr. Bradshaw was bound to talk to some one. 4,We shall have to put the shutters up. One day's grace would save us, 1 believe; we could get the money then. But if they're at us again to-morrow morning, we can't last two hours." Dick sympathized, but had nothing to suggest, except that it would not make matters worse if he carried out his engagement to go to the circus with the Flirtington girls. "Oh, {.o to Hong Kou;? with the Flirtington girls,if you like," groaned Mr. Bradshaw. So Dick went--to the circus (the other expedition, as he observed, would keep) and enjoveJ the per­ formance very much, especially the lion-taming, which was magnificent, and so impressed Dick that he de­ serted his companions, went behind the scenes, and insisted on standing Signor Philippini several glasses. "Is that big chap quite safe?" he asked,'admiringly. "I can do anything with *im," said the signor (whose English was natur­ ally defective); "but with any one helse'e's a roarer, 'e is, and no mis­ take " After the performance, Dick took the Fiirtington girls home; then, with a thoughtful look on his face, he went and had some talk with his father, and came away, carefuliy placing a roll qf notes in his breast­ pocket. Then he sought Signor Phil­ ippines society once more. And that is all that is really known about it-- if, that is, we discard the obviously fanciful statement of Fanny Flirting- ton that, as she was gazing at the moon about 2 a. m., she saw a"heavy wagon, draw-n by two horses and driven by Signor Philippini, pass along the street in the direction of the bank. She must have been wrong; for Philippini, by the evidence of his signora--whose name, notwith­ standing that Philippines morals were perfectly, correct, was Mrs. Buggins --went to be:l at 11:30 o'clock, and snored all night. However these things may be, this is what happened next morning. When the llrst of the depositors ar­ rived at 7 a. m., they found one of the windows of the bank smashed to pieces and the shutter hanging loose. A cry went up that there had been a robbery, and one or two men began to climb in. They did not get far before fearful rear proceeded fium the neighborhood of the counter. They lookei at one anutUer, and said it would be more regular to wait for the officials. The roars continued. They sent for Mr. Brau^haw. It&d- ly had he arrived (accompanied by Dick, breathless and in shirt-sleeves) before the backmost rows of the now considerable crowd l»ecame agitated with a new sensali-jn. The news spread rapidly. Frantic men ran to andefroi several ladies Tainted; the circus proprietor was sent for. A lion had escaped from the menagerie,'and was supoosed to be at large in the town. •Send for Fhiiippiai!" cried the! proprietor. They did so. had started early for a picnic! in the country, and would not return till just before the performanc Dick took a wild running leap at th« window; Philippini stirred up Atlas, v?hn rnnrod lustily. Dick CSCapod with his life and landed a breathless heap at the mayor's feet The mayor raised him and said he should write to her majesty and suggested that Dick would be a proper recip ent of the Albert Medal, and the vicar (who had no money in the bank) indig­ nantly asked the crowd if they could not trust a family which produced scions like that. Several people cried, "Hear, hear!" and told Mr. Bradshaw that they never really meant to withdraw their deposits. Mr. Bradshaw thanked them and looked at his watch. At half-past thrcs, Philippini ran up; he was breathless, and his shoes we e dusty from walking in the country. At once he 'affected an 1 enliY, amid a scenevof great exciie- 'ment. A moment later, he appeared at the wipd«2w and cried, in a terror* stricken voice: "I can't 'old 'iral I can't 'old 'im! He's mad! Look out for yourselves"', and he leaped from the window. The crowd fled in all directions and two boys were all but run over by a cart which was being driven rapidly from the railway station to the bank. ••All right," said Dick to the sig­ nor; "bring up the wagon." And then, with great difficulty aid con­ summate courage, the signor and Dick brought an iron cage up to the window and dfove Atlas in. The operation took more than an hour, because they had to feed Atlas and drink a bottle of champagne them­ selves before they set about it. So that it was 6 o'clock before Atlas was out and the money was in and the Sandhill and District Bank opened its doors for business. .. "We gained just the time we needed." said Mr. Bradshaw. "It was dirt-cheap at fifty pounds!" And Dick, although he did not get the Albert Medal, ' was taken into partnership and married Fanny Flirt­ ington. It was the only way ot pre­ venting her seeiner things she was not meant to see out of the window at 2 a. in., and chattering about them in public.--St James' Gazette. Hat On by a Smuggler. A few miles from Lochnow is the little harbor of Daily Bay. Here smugglers had landed a cargo of their usual wares and these were carried up the hill of South Cairn, waiting till a band of volunteers arrived with a string of packhorses to transport them inland for distribution, says the Boston Herald. The Custom-house officer in charge of the district received information of their doings, and, hurrying to the spot with the only coast guardsman disengaged, he promptly* effected a seizure of the goods. The smugglers skulked off and the one guardsman was sent back to press men and horses In the King's name to carry the Drecious treasure to Stranraer. The officer, pluming himself not a little on his alacrity, sauntered sentry fashion round and round his prize, which lay heaped before him in rich profusion his sword and a brace of formidable pistols at his side Presently Maggie McConnell ap­ proached the trreat man, wishing him a good morning, to which he atfably .eplled and accepted Maggie's prof­ fered hand. His arm was thrust up­ ward and at the same time he was encircled by the siren's arms, and, with a heavy fall, was thrown help­ lessly on his back. Maggie then sat coolly down upon her victim and, having placed her apron over his eyes, she held him tlrmly down, as if held in a vice. At last, but only when it suited her pleasure, Maggie released him from her grasp. Bet when he looked up not one of the articles lay in its place, As he had himself seen them before on the ground. By and by his companion reap­ peared, but only to Sad the head offi­ cer tete-a-tete with this Galloway matron, who, bidding them adieu, disappeared without further loss of time, wishing thcia txth a pleasant r:Ic l:.to Stranraer. Sure Riddance tor ilata. The best way to get rid of rats and mice is not to poison them, but to make them thoroughly tired of the locality and so induce them to leave. They arc generally too smart to eat poison, even when it is prepared for their benefit in the most sedative fashion, but they.are not so particular about tartar emetic. When a little of this is mixed with any favorite Philippini j foo{* t,bey eat as Speedily as though ! the physic were not them, but in two or three hours there will be the most in the j d'scoura!?"d lot of rats about the evening. The proprietor was- fn despair. "Where's the beast gone to?" he cried. A roar from the bank answered his question. "Well, I'm blowed if he's not in the bank!" exclaimed the proprietor. It certainly appeared to be the fact that Atlas (that was the lion's pame) had taken refuse in the bank and was in full possession of the premises and assets. Under these circum­ stances there was, Mr. Bradshaw erf- plained, a difficulty in resuming cash payments; but if his checks would be accepted . The crowd roared al­ most as loud as Atlas at such an idea. Something must be done. They sent for the mayor; he repudiated liability. They »ent for the Ore brigade and the life-boat crew: neither would come. They got guns and peppered the fur­ niture. Atlas retired behind the fire-proof safe and roared worse than ever. Meanwhile the precious hours were passing. Mr. Bradshaw's money was also on its way from London. At last Dick took a noble resolution. •'I will go in at any cost," h9 cried; and, in spite of Fanny Fiirtlngton's tears, he scaled the window and dis­ appeared from view. The crowd waited to hear Atlas scrunching; but he only roared. When Dick was inside, he paused and asked in a low voice, "Is he chained?" "You," answered bignof PhiliDpini frgm behind the safe. Sally business over?" and he came out with a long pole in his hand. He used the pole to stir poor Atlas up when the roars became deficient in quantity or quality. "The money outfht to be here three hour?," said Dick. got the back-door key?" Philippini reassured bint place that anybody ever saw. The tartar will not kill them; it only makes them deadly sick. Sometimes they will crawl out and walk about like a seasick man, so ill that they do not seem to care what becomes of them. But, it disgusts them with the whole vicinity, and as soon as they are able to travel they march off and you see them no more.--Globe- Democrat. Fant Kail road Time. Exceedingly fast time has been made on some American railroads within the past few years, in several instances a speed of more than a mile a minute having been attained. But in nearly all these cases the runs have been short, often covering only a few miles. For a trip of nearly two hundred miles, the record made a short time since on the Chicago and Alton road between Chicago and Springfield has rarely been equalled --never, it is said, on a western road, whether for a long or short run. The distance traveled in this case was 186 miles, which was accomplished in 196 minutes, making fourteen stops and eight slow-ups. The train consisted of seven cars, and was drawn by an eight-wheel engine, the weight of which is stated at 93,000 pounds. Londou Keal Estate.
