HOW | GOT MY WIFE. A Conductor's Story.

Concluded.

Again the first-mentioned man look- ed at the old passenger, whose head had dropped on his breast, and who ap- peared to be dropping into a good slumber. Seeing this the man motion- ed to the other, who straightened up, and the next moment the twain oceu-

nied the same seat.

‘Is he really asleep?’ asked the youngest. , :

‘You can’t tell anything about the old codger,’ was the reply. ‘ He looks as though he was sleeping like Mor- pheus himself, when he may be watch- ing us from one corner of his eye. We can’t afford to wait much longer, else the game will be up. The girl is sound asleep.’

‘Yes, yes, you could jerk her from the seat and not disturb her slumber, Isn't she a beauty ?’

‘A perfect houri!’

‘Of course ; doesn’t she know that you are on the train ?’

‘Certainly not. Don’t you recollect that she was asleep when we boarded the car at Romney ?’

‘Oh, yes ! [had forgotten.’

‘If she knew I was here, she'd keep her eyes wide open and pest the old gentleman who yet remains, I be- lieve, in blissful ignorance of the fact that [ have made love to this child. If he knew me as you do, Burdock, he’d play the roll of Virginius before I should wed his Mabel.’

‘He would indeed,’ answered the young iman called Burdock. + But, I say, let's to work. lL have the bottle— shail I use it now ? What do you say ?’

‘Weare not there yet!’ said the other, ooking out of the window upon the star-lit earth.

‘We must be very near. The road where Moreley is waiting is one mile this side of the town. There, look ! There is the clump of trees he told us abous. The road is three miles from this point. We must work now.’

‘Whatif the old fellow is shamming ?’

‘I'll use the handkerchief effective- ly !’

‘Allright.’

The youngest of the party now rose and waiked up the aisle to the furiher end of the coach. He cast a quick but serutinising look at the white-haired man, wo, despite his suspicions, had fallen asleep. For three successive days he and his daughter had been on the train, and during the time the father had slept but little. His child’s objec- tions to the sleeping coach had been listened to, and the twain had not quitted the through passenger car. ‘they were travelling to one of the larg. est cities in the Kast, where they hoped to dwel! until death should tear them apart and call each from the world. Cyrus Radcliff —for such was the father’s name —wus a banker of eminence in a city far west of the Alleghanies. His wealth was the open sesame into the highest so- ciety of the land, but he was not puffed up with the pride that is generally fouad with riches. Having noo relatives save his daughter, he fixed the great love of his heart upon her, and it was a love vaster than his wealth, deeper than the Bea.

But ‘et us'return to tle scene in the through car, moving at the rate of twenty-seven miles an hour. The man at the end of the car glided towards his Victim, the old man. When he puused beside his victim he drew a handkerchief from his bosom. Theo the faint odor of chloroform beeame prevalent, and the handkerchief was held uader Cyrus Rad- cliff’s nostrils.

‘Shall I dose the others ?’ asked the young man ia a whisper, as he glanced at the remaining three passengers, who were asicep in their respective seats,

‘No; they'll not wakeo !’ was the re- ply. ‘Now give Mabel a bit—not too much !’

‘

{shall oblige me by returning to the seats

' ‘you have lately occupied. Your little ‘scheme of abduction has failed, and 1 ‘would inform you that you will be under ‘guard the remainder of the run. Any ‘attempt to escape might be attended with ‘serious results. I witness your villiany ‘from the platform.’

| When Mabel looked upon the b lue- ‘eyed man, she recognized Jared Abbott, ‘a rejected lover. His confederate, Burd- ‘dock she did not know.

It was Dick Davis’s hand that held the bell-rope while Burdock tugged at it, and his signal that increased the speed of the train, thus effectively preventing the villians’ escape.

Cyrus Radeliffe proffered Conductor Dick a handsome check for his services ; but it was retused, and the reward that he finally accepted was the hand of bis lovely throngh passenger.

The President's Message.

United States papers furnish the follow- ing ontline of President Hayes’ message to

Congress :—

‘The message opens with a congratula- tion to Congress on the specie resumption, and much space is devoted to a statement of the financial opinions of the Government. During the past year the resumption of specie payments has been followed bya very great revival in business. ‘With a currency equivalent in value to the money of the commercial world, we are enabled to enter upon an equal competition with other nations in trade and production. ‘The in- creasing foreign demand for our manufac- tures and agricultural products has caused a large balance of trade in our favor, which has been paid in gold—from the Ist of July last to November 15th to the amount of about $59,000,000. There has also been the gratifying improvement of the public credit, the bonds of the Government bear- ing only four per cent. interest having been sold at or above par sufficient in amount to pay off all the national debt which was re- deemable under the present laws.”

The enforcement of the statute against polygamy in Utah is strongly urged, and the President insists that the citizens of that territory be made to respect the laws of the General Government.

A large space of the message is devoted the consideration of civil service reform, and the well known views of the President favoring a high standard of civil service find earnest repitition.

The relations of the United States with Austria, Russia, Italy, Portugal, Turkey and Belgium continue amicable ; marked by no incident of special importance. No change has gccurred in the relations be- tween Egypt and the United States. The questions at issue with Spain, growing out of incidents of the Cuban insurrection, have been for the most part happily settled. Negotiations for extradition treaties with the Netherlands and Denmark are pro- gressing.

With Great Britain there ave still un-

settled questions growing ont ef the local laws of the Maritime Provinces and the ae- tion of the Provincial authorities, deemed to be in derogation of the rights secured by treaty to American fishermen. The United States Minister in London has been in- structed to present a demand for $105,305, in view of damages received by American citizens at Fortune Bay, on the 6th Jan- uary, 1878. ‘The subject has been taken into consideration by the British Govern- ment and .an early reply is anticipated. Upon the completion of the necessary pre- liminary examination, the subject of our participation of provincial fisheries as regu- lated by treaty, will at once be brought to the attention of the British Government with a view to an early and permanent set- tlement of the whole question, which was only temporarily adjusted by the Treaty of Washington. Efforts have been made to obtain the re- moval of restrictions found injurious to the exportation of cattle to the United King- dom. Some correspondence has also oc- curred with regard to the rescue and saving of life and property upon the Lakes, which has resulted in important modifications of previous regulations of tlie Dominion Gov- ernment on the subject, in the interest of humanity and commerce.

DEALER AND WORKER IN

A moment later the agent of villiany was resiored to his bosom, and witha look up and down the ear, the eldest man lifted Alabel from the seat.

‘We must be near the road: Ring the engineer down to slower time. Quick ! These words were spoken to the young,

man, who caught the bell-rope and tugged | ca

al it manfully.

‘Curse it! he exclaimed it seems to have c:ught somewhere. The train is increasing its speed.’

‘The {ace of the man who heid Mabel’ in his arms suddenly grew pule. — ‘ Jerk | it with all your might !’ he cried to his; confederate. _ The man obeyed, and the rope snapped In twaii!

‘The jigis up, I am afraid. There, we've passed the road. It seems to m2 that we're golagz at the rate of forty miles an hour.’ ;

At that moment the door before them swung opea, and Conductor Davis step- ped into the coach. Tne blue eyed man hastened to place Mubel in the seat from | which he had lifted her without being seoa | by the conductor. But in this he failed. | ‘Gentlemen,’ said Davis, calmly, and at the same time displaying a revolver. ‘ you’

Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remedy.

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—~ DrEaR Sin—It is now two years since your ‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before doe ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the y effects scemed to me to be “‘too good to true.” 1 was afilicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par- ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop”’ from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compe to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, 1 quit taking it, feeling quite clear of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head, A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. , Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878.
