A* tin- i- --:;:.. per felt himself grad-

delib rat.-ly crash his fi.-t into tho wood-work
with whii h the interior of the safe
was lit'.' '1. i:i secretaire fashion, one
drawi r being built above another. This
gave him a t w additional cubic feet of
air.
At may have been conjectured, the
noise which smote the bookkeeper's ear
was that t f a drill. Although acutely
Uaeerned within, the sound was practi-callv
smothered on the outside of the
vault
At oneend of the drill was a cavity,
rapidly growing larger, in one of the
steel panels. At its other end was a
hiavy, warty fist, part of the anatomy
of Baoufta. tho industrious mechanic. m
Bantiste held the drill while his com-rade,
Pierre, pounded it in.
Soon the two burglars became aware
that eoinc s"rt of aiiimal commotion was
going 1 n within the safe. It nearly drove
them into convulsions of astonishment.
Baptute was - • startled that he dropped
the drill.
••It U a ghost," he said.
Baptists was f..r throwing up the job
promisingly on the spot, but this
;r..;»-. al mi I with obstacle*. His fellow
tvi rkuinn, who was ,.t ItuTer courage,
i-t j--. :. 1 i". With BC ru. as s.ivoriug too

Largo family to rapport, he argued. Uo
spoke frankly. Thi y <-^vh\ i.ot afford to
tbrow away Ihe op]iorlumties of provi-dence.
, To his friend and colaiwrer the
"Lache! tiolion! You make mo tired
wiz yer ghosts an tings. Let's not havo^
no beast foolin—see? Do job is com-mence.
Allons!"'
The upshot of this was that Pierre and
Baptiste went back to work. At the
third crack of tho drill Pierre crossed
himself and said:
"Baptiste, den-'s a man in dat safer*
Both men grew pale as death at the
very suggestion. Baptiste, for instance,
was so fritrhtcned he couldn't utter a
syllable. His tongue clavo )o the roof
of hi* month. Hi iwever, Pierre, as usu-al,
v.-as tho first to recover. Ho applied
his ear first to the lock and then to the
drill hole.
"Hey, in dere!" lie cried, yet not so
loud as to be heard on tho sidewalk". To
this there came a faint response—a very"
faint Shoot indeed. It sounded as if it
were a mile away:
"For God's saki-, give mo air! I am
locked in here. Try and burst open the
safe!"'
The two burglars did not stop to talk,
bnt went nt once to work as if their own
lives depended on the result instead of
the life of the mysterious occupant of
tho vault. In _ less than four minutes
they i. i— a hole somewhat smaller than
the busiuess end of a collar button
knocked into the panel of the vault.
Then Pierre ami Baptiste paused to
wipe the sweat from their brows. The
man inside breatbj L

■ member of the firm or an employee'/
This hypothesis jeopardized the success
of tho night's ad venture unless when
they had permitted tho prisoner to
1 ii:- :•.'!' they bound and gaggedhim into
silence.
On I'no othi r hand, this course v.-ould
have :.:i ugly look. If he resisted, it
might mean murder in the end; where-as,
it' they didnot let him out at nil, they
would stand no chance of profiting by
the pecuniary contents of tho safe. Be-
MII. s, as tin1 man could scarcely live thus
till morning, they would bo responsible
for his taking off. Thus rea loned Pierre
and Baptiste. These were not comfort-ing
reflections, but thero was still an-other
and a better in reserve. What if,
after all, tho man were himself a felon?
Might he not be a companion cribcrack-er?
In tliat case they would merely have
to divide the siieils.
"Hey, in dere.'' cried Pierre, suddenly
struck with an idea. "What is de com-bination
hof do safe.-"
"Fifteen—three—seventy-three!" came
back in sepulchral tones.
It was evidently growing harder and
harder to draw breath through tho tiny
aperture.
Thus it transi.ir.il that at tho expira-tion
of 15 seconds tho lock of tho vault
gave back the same resonant click it
had randered eight minutes previously.
Thanks to tho timely advent of Pierre
and Baptiste, it opened as lightly, as air-ily
and as decisively as it had closed 480
seconds lieforc on the uuhappy account-ant.
The head bookkeeper gasped once or
twice, but without any assistance step-ped
out into the free air. Ho was very
pale, and his dre s was much rent and
disordered when his feet touched the
floor, l'nt this pallor quickly made
way for a red flush at perceiving the
two burglars with the implements of
their profession strewed around them.
Meanwhile Pierre and Baptiste them-selves
stood transfixed by the sheer nov-elty
<.f the situation.
■at any kind of speech or warn-ing
or without making any attempt at
bravado, t::.- bookkeeper walked delib-erately
to his il- sk an 1 rang an electric
call for tho police, biiimllaiuously. it
seemed, for so rapid ami quirt was the
action, ho opened a drawer, took out a
small revolver and covered both bur-glars
with a fatal precision. As be did
so lie uttered ti: so remarkable words:
"W- nllcmcn, I would indeed be the
base.-t of men if 1 did not feel profoundly
grateful for !!:•■ Service yon have just
rendered me. I shall always regard you

tho same, to their Uberty* Any demand

Another Monument for the Battle
Ground.
The Rhode Island State Boeietv
or Cincinnati met at Newport, li.
I., on July 1th for the transaction
of business. Among those present
was the venerable Nathaniel Greene
M. 1). LL. D., a grandson of Gen.
Greene, who is President of th-
Society, and now ."O years of age.
Among the proceedings of this
meeting of the descendant-- of Rev-olutionary
soldiers, wo find the fol-lowing:
•■ The Standing Committee was
authorized to memorialize thi
Rhode Island General Assembly at
its next session to erect a monu
ineiit to Major General Nathaniel
Greene on the battlefield of Guil-ford
Court House, and to secure
his invaluable public papers now
in private hands in Georgia.''
This action was taken by the
"Cincinnati" upon the suggestion
of Prof. Ed Graham Daves, who
projected end carried out the idea
j of erection a monument to the
memory of ihe Maryland soldiers
on the i) ittieBeld of Guilford Court
House.

'Brooklyn Bridge! All out!"
cried the conductor in that confi-dent
air characteristic of pullers
of the bell rope, as a Bleeckcl
street car came ti, a standstill at L'
o'clock yesterday efteinooa oppo-site
the bridge entrance.
Three men and two women wenri
ly made their way out of the car,
mopping liie perspiration from
their faces. The ^conductor stood
on tho rear platform. His car was
behind time and lie was impatient
to give the signal to 6tart.
One passenger didn't heed his
"All out!" cry. lie was a big man
—a fat, big man. He sat in u cor-ner
of the car, one gigantic arm
resting Jon the window. His hat
was on tho seatbeside him. Lean-ing
against the head and side of
the ear, be was very comfortable,
apparently.
"1 he conductor looked sharply at
him and then strode menacingly to
the front of the ear. Placing a
hand on the giant's shoulder he
shook liim, but it we.s a very slight
movement be made. The giant
didn't badge BO inch. The con-ductor
then saw he was asleep.
"Here, now," the autocrat of the
car btgan grullly, " you'll have to
get up. You're at the end of the
road."
There was not even a snoro from
the big sleeper. The conductor
tried his two hands now, but he
made as little impreesion as if be
•ere tugging at n stone wail. He
weighed'only a li.") pounds, and
the big man looked as if he would
iii> the SCules at four hundred.
Hacking away, the conductor
took a careful survey of the beef
he had been tackling. He looked
perplexed. Then he became angry.
"This darned folding's got to
stop," lie cried, returning to the
attack. "I can't stay here all day
for yonr pleasure. You've got to
get out right now."
He went at his work like a man
in the rush-line of a fool ball eleven.
He tugged and swore and swore
and tugged. Not a move was made
bytheeleeplng monster. He breath-ed
regularly and easily and there
was 11 childlike expression of con-tentment
on his rosy fuce. The
driver gave the conductor a hand,
but even both of them didn't seem
to he able 10 turn 0 hair of the fat
man's head.
li-. i! is time several cars were
blocked and many passers-by had
stopped to watch the fun. Other
liaugbti conductors, their hands
on il.cir change pockets, ran to the
scene.
" Let's throw him off,'' suggested
one.
four of the beW-ringers stepped
into the car, and they and liie other
conductor and the driver went to
work on the peaceablo fat man.
They took hohrwn bim wherever
they could—bis tmusers^legs, his
collar, his arms, and strained away.
They puffed and blew and swore,
but they couldn'i move him. They
didn't even wake him.
At him they went again alien
they had 'wiped the Eweal from
their brows. They were vicious
now—just like dogs suffering from
the heat.
"Here, no hitting befow the
bell!" yelled a man in the crowd
who was ready to give odds that
the enemy couldn't rout the far one
The assailing party was on a
savage rust, when this remark was
made. The laugh from the crowd

and mopped their brows again.

wen: up from the crowd mingled
with pitiful exclamations in Ital-ian.

like vultures.
The fat man had the sympathy
of the dirty faced Arabs
"Why don't yer let de poor bloke
alone," they cried to the conduc-tor.
'He's sunstruck; dat's what
he is."
A piece of hiiian.i whixzed
through the air. It struck a limp
conductor in the neck. A hurried
consultation was held, and it was
decided to ictreat. The reinforce
menls left Ihe car the driver took
his place on the front piaiforin
and the conductor pulled the bell
strap. Away started the horse,
followed by the cheers and laugh-ter
of the crowd.
The fat man continued to slum-ber
peacefully, while a fly lit on
hiSjbroad nose. The conductor was
tucking a handkerchief under his
collar as tiie ear disappeared.
It was whispered the fat man
was a museum freak who had been
"doing" the Bowery and who had
been overcome by the hospitality
of the natives of that part of the
United States.
They Wer* Too Full of Fight to
Suit His Quiet Spirit and Ach-ing
Hea3,
It was a curious circumstance
and everybody in the smoking car
seemed to catch on at the same
moment, (in the right-hand sidi
sat a man with a cowboy's hat.
woolen shirt, red nerklie, pants in
his bootlegs, and a general air oi
toughness. Opposite him sat an
other man similarly attired, bu<
with the addition of a grizzN
bear's claw for a scarf-pin. One
had been with us for over an hour
—the last had just boarded the
train, says the Detroit Free Press.
Those two men at once began

on the right meaningly observed:
"I reckon your bag of Injun-scalps
is in the luggage-car, eh?"
"Yes, hut my gun* areyerc!"
promptly responded the other.
"What's the use of gun unless
ye know how to shoot?"
"What's the use of a gab if you
don't back it up?"
They were now hot and ready
for more, and it noon came.
"Out on our ranch we size such
fellers as you fur wolf bait," said
the righs-liand man.
"Is that so? Wall, out on your
ram h we don't wait to size up
chaps like you. We knows 'em a
mile away fur dulfcrs."
"Take that back!"
••Never!"
They both sprang up, and of
course we rushed forward to stop
the fight. Near by was n man who
had been trying lo get to Bleep lo
cure a headache. He sprang up,
pulled olf his coat, threw down his
hat, and shouted at the two ter-ror.-
:
"Both of you sit down as if
death wasn't five feet away !"
They dropped back on the seats
like bags of sand and he stood over
them and demanded of the one on
the right:
"Where do you camp when
you're at home?"
•In Ohio," was the meek reply.
"And you!"
"In Indiana."
"I guess that's right. That's
about the way I sized you up.
Just a word to you. Shut right
up. Don't peep another peep
about b'ars, Injuns or ranches, or
shootin'. You have made me tired,
and if there's any more of it 1'U
drop both of you off this car into
the ditch."
He went back to his seat to nurse
his headache and the two terrors
sat so quietly for the next hour

How Cremation is EiTcctcd.
from the mouth of tho furnace
a long, narrow platform is built
Out, on the top of which are rails
and a sort of grille or trolley, with
two wheels under it at ihe otheri
end. Oval-shaped irons are pl.iceir
on this trolley, and nn them i»
il.ced the corpse, eitht; in a light
pine collln, or what 1- : ,r better
and more appropriate, it- n long
wrapping of some light material
which completely covers lie body,
head and all, and allows <i its be-ing
lifted out of the e-.liia without
being in the least uncovered 01 un-necessarily
bandied.
Or.ce the corpse is ia its proper
place -..ti the trollev, with the head
toward the furnace, the smallest
pressure on the long lever handle
of the trolley raises i' without any
difficulty, and the corpse i- gently
and reverently glided into the fur-nace
on t. e '-.iji--. The oval irons
just rest on 11 sides of ihe groovi
which ia mean; 10 re, ive the ashes.
As tour,, therefore, as everything
is in its proper appointed place the
trollei drops under ihe supporting
irons and is withdrawn, the heavy
iron doors are shut, the inner one
that separates the furiiace from the
liie (which baa been lit an houi
and 1; half previotislj ) is with-drawn
by means cf exti rual weights
alld'pullcys, and Ihe go! head of
(lames, most divine element, rushes
in to claim the hotly of it- wor-shipper.
A low wall partly divides the
lire from the ch.nolnr in which liie
body is placed, so the flams rising
over ll:e obstacle sweeps in 11 tor-rent
over the body until it reaches
the feet, where opens the return
tlue that leads directly back under
the furnace, down a covered in
passage and up the beautiful cam-panile-
like chimney, at the base of
which is another furnace of coke,
through which the smoke and flame
have to pass, thus being thoroughly
purified before being allowed to
escape into the outer air.—N. Y.

Western People Want to Partly
Dissolve the Union.
Tho people of Creede, Col., were
much distressed by the recent de-cline
in silver and in muss meeting
assembled called upon the repre-sentatives
in Congress to demand
an amend Jient to the Constitution
of the United States to permit the
peaceful loosening of the bond of
confederation inasmuch as shall
permit the founding of seperate
houses of representatives for the
east and west legislate, each in its
separate congress, in matters of
finance and trade, the two houses
to co-operalo with a senate as now
constituted and a President of the
United States who shall bo com-mander
of the urmy, etc. The
resolutions nrgo the ctitizensjjof the
Western Stutes to demand from
Congress such separation "to the
end that we muy no longer have
our rights, our properties, our sa-cred
honor in business legislated
away by tho eastern power, which
knows not our interests, refuses lo
learn our needs, and will not ac-cede
us thi! rights our fealty nnd
energy in the past entitle us to."
The Free Press believes it would
be of great advantage to the South
and West if such division could lie
brought about—if there were say
three confederations—East, South.
West, each having the power to
pass suih financial andtradelaws
as were deemed best for the sec-tion
of country concerned, and the
union of all being only for purpos-es
of defense against foreign invas-ion,
iiut, of course, the East
would never consent lo such an
arrangement—it has laws favora-ble
to its interests, by which it is
enabled to prey upon the South
and West; anil i:. will never, as
long us it can prevent it, sullcr a
change to be made, but, perhaps,
the situation will not always be as
now. —Kinston Free Press.
