He says: I remember once, says a writer in the Youth's Companion, in a lonely coast- range canyon, through which the road wound, we had a little experience that was thrilling for the moment. It was a moonlight night, and I was pushing Ahead at a good speed, with a stage full of passengers, and a heavy treas­ ure box. . Just as I got around a bend in the road I saw the figure of a man on horseback beside the road. He yelled out for us to stop, and 1 saw a gun bar­ rel glean, in the moonlight. The horses were going at a speed < that might be called breakneck, and I made up my mind to take the chance of getting through. I saw the gun raised to the fellow's shoulder as we approached. I had my long whip in my hand, and with a desperation born of the peril of the moment, I made a vicious swipe at him. I don't know how it happened, but the lash wound itself around the gun. ind as we dashed by, the whip was drawn taut. I was nearly pulled off my seat, but I"held on, and the gun was dragged out of the robber's hand and fell to the gr ound. At the same moment it was discharged b/ the shock. /*It rattled along the road for quite a distance before the whiplash unwound Itself. I don't know what the high­ wayman thought, but I'll wager ha was surprised. A FUNNY LITTLE STORY. laWfclch Pride to Rebuked la Trot BlM Fairy Book Style. A funny little story, with a moral, Pfwnpg from Ischl, by way of a London exchange. Not long ago a lady who had just arrived from Roumania, took a stroll to Sofiens Dopple Blick, a cele­ brated point of view. There she met a young married lady, accompanied by her little girl. The smart, rather over­ dressed stranger was much struck with the child's frock, which was exquisitely embroidered with forget-me-nots, and advancing, she calmly asked the youth­ ful mother where the garment was "bought. "1 embroidered all her frocks myself; it gives me sueh pleasure," was the smiling answer. At this a shade of scorn came on the questioner's face, and she said, with ill-concealed con­ tempt: "That is only possible with a very small household. People like my- ®elf, who have so many visitors, and move in the best society have no time for puch middle-class pleasures." The other lady laughed, but returned no answer, and the fair Roumanian con­ tinued boasting until at last her hearer mildly: "1 also have to play hostess occasionally. My father, the emperor, favors us^ from time to time with a visit, and the empress often comes to gee her grandchildren, as well as many other members of the imperial family; bat all the same I have invariably leisure in the morning hours to do em­ broidery for my little girL" And be­ fore the stranger had recovered from her embarrassment the ^Archduchess Valerie and her small daughter were gone.
