Colonel Rastlake nodded. â€" ‘* Now tell me, girl," he said sternly, * whether this is the only room in the house !" ‘*Can‘t you see that for yourself," she rrtly rejoined. But there was a curious ickering of the dark eyes which confirmed our suspicions of'lo:_ne gl{ilty secret. Presently, Jack Townley backed quietly against the inside of the front wall and thence walked carelessly across the floor. There was nothing in this to attract attenâ€" tion, but we saw in & moment that he was ;ully mmurinq the width of the room. With some casual remark about the horses, he then strolled out of doors. _ > _ Then in the twinkling of an aye the whole scene changed. _ â€" â€" . â€" The apparently decrepit pair, each on grasping a pistol, sprang to their feet.

There may be a trap door under." ce Quick, men, qni'::k !" shouted Fastlake, and before any one of the three dared to fire all were overpowered, disarmed and bound, while a torrent of blood curdling curses poured from the lips of the old He:im. In a few seconds he retirned and said :â€" ‘* Boys, there‘s a secret chamber in the shanty somewhere. The inside of this room measures only fifteen feet from front to rear, but the outer wall is close upon twentyâ€"four feet ! Allowing‘for the space occupied by the front and back walls and one partition, there must be a blind room six feet wide reaching cleat across the rear end of the house." _ *‘ Guess it‘s lon'nshinfi':om than whisâ€" key.

The hiswr{ of the eagle as the . symbol of the Roman Empire, and of other powers claiming succession to the same, is here fully stated. â€" In Europe there are still the cagles. of Austria, Russia and Germany, besides others pertaining tominor principalities. An able writer remarks that " owing to the resâ€" toration of _ the Western empire during the ‘rule of the Byzantine Casars, the worlfi has never since (t}}o time of Augultul) been without _ one ‘ or two _ Emperors _ of the Romans.

The German Emperor reigns over some Roman provinces and bearsa singleâ€"hekded eagle with the crown of Charlemagne. The singleâ€"headed eagle, assumed with the imâ€" perial title by the first Napoléon Bonaparte, sets forth : the union of the whole Roman Empire as the tradition«l aim of his family. | All this strikingly harmonizes with io adâ€" | mitted fact of the continuance to the pres ent time, though in a divided state, to the Roman Empire, and smuggests thoughts as to what may be the ultimate meaning ‘of the words, Whoresoever the body is thithez will the cagles be gathered together," It is safe to say that nbt one person in a thousand is able to give the origin of the terms tenâ€"penny, sitâ€"penny, twoâ€"penny, tec., as applied to nails. â€" For many years these useful commoditics were made a speciâ€" fied number of pounds to the thousand, and this standard is still recognized in England and other countries. _ For instanco, in ‘the firstâ€"named | locality, a ten-p@nn‘y .nail is understood to be one of a kind of which it would require 1,000 to. make ten pounds, and a sixâ€"penny nail one of a lot of which an equal number would comprise nirrnndl.
