The Intention of the aforesaid trooper waa doubtless good enough, hut hla execution a trifle faulty. Perhaps his haste was to blame, or his aim a little unsteady. In all probability, however, the real cause might be laid at the door of the flashing flames which made It very deceptive light The motive of the colonel for pretending that he had been laid out by the bullet was plain enough. He fully expected the other two men, and indeed perbapa half a score to boot, would bo ready to follow the first shot with a shower of lead. It waa In tbe hope and expectation of avoiding these that he threw himself forward, and rolled upon the ground with all the symptoms of a dying man, when In truth the leaden messenger had hurtled harmlessly by a foot or two from hla head. He was only ten feet, more or less, from the edge of the woods. Once in the shelter of the trees. Colonel John felt his chances of escape would bo much better than on the open. When he threw himself forward with auch a dramatic effect, Ridgeway managed to roll over and over several times until he had reduced the distance by half. He brought up in such a position that he could look in the direction of the house. This waa a wise precaution. The fellow who had fired might evince acme curiosity concerning the nature of hla game or the possible brilliancy of his aim, and It would be only natural for him to coins out to investigate. In this surmise Colonel John made ot one-doll- What you cannot avoid, learn to True happiness is cheap, did we but apply to the right merchant for hear. taho. to Motfioo.

Such a fusllade of blows raining upon hla face made tbe fellow loss all desire to hold his tormentor In the circuit of his embrace Indeed, Just then his one thought seemed to be a desire to get rid of such a plague without delay. No sooner did John find the long arms release their hold than be was quick to avail himself of the chance presented. He sprang to his feet It was high time. The second trooper had mae good use of his opportunity, and was almost within striking distance. Patience has its limits. The Federal had about reached that e "I don't think the Lord'll ever anma of bein'- ungrateful, swered Uncle Hosea." "Six of my e - boys la preachers.'

HAD STORED HONEY IN HOUSE. Induatrloue Seee Had Hive Between Floors of Dwelling. For several years Patrick Prender-gas- t of Abington, Pa., lived la a house along the Old York road, not knowing that a swarm of boss also considered it their home. The swarm hived between the flrat and second floors, directly beneath the beds occupied each night by Prendergaat and hla family. The house where Prendergaat lived, with a realty sale, passed Into possession of John Lambert, Jr., a prominent Philadelphian, with n oountry place at Abington. In line with projected Improvements, Lambert arranged to have the house moved bach from the present foundations, preliminary to having It remodeled, the structure being more than 100 yean old. Workmen discovered the presence of the bees, and an apiarist employe? to remove the swarm found more than 300 pounds of pure honey between tbs second floor and tha ceiling of the first It being assumed that Mr. Lambert took title to the honey with the house, the honey was turned over to him.

Henry Savage Landor: "I wished to buy a hag of grain, hut the woman who owned it would on no account accept silver money for it, nor any article which she saw la my camp. My Somali servant had a bright idea the only one he had during the entire Journey acroea Africa. He went to one of tho boxes of provisions and tore off a highly colored label from a corn beef tin. Having licked it copiously, ho stuck It in the middle of his forehead. Inquisitive, like a woman, tho Carayu asked him what he did it for. The Somali said he had been seised with a violent headache and tho colored paper was a certain cure. The Carayu at once offered the grain if the Somali would part with tha magic paper.
