Although the time was long past midnight, lights were still gleaming from behind the shutters of the little blind aloliouee bard by the Reading road, not far from 'Winchester, and Japtaiu Jaoobus, riding gently up, judg d it prudent to enter by the back door in consequence. The inn was a bonne of call for the captain and the landlord a creature of his own, but at a time when detachments of Cromwell's sol diers were rough riding the country it behooved a gentleman of the road to use caution. Indeed, in the estimation of Captain Jaoobuo, it was no insignifl cant item in the long score held by him against the commonwealth that a king's gentleman should sometimes be com pelled to sneak into his inn by a menial entrance. After stabling bis horse the captain eutered the kitchen, where the landlord, a little dark remnant of a man, with a short pipe between his teeth, was going to and fro busying himself amid a litter of empty bottles and greasy plates. Stopping short in his employment, the landlord nodded to his Dutrou without a word, at the same time jerking his thumb over bis shonl dor toward the half door, above which a square of the paneled wall of the inn parlor was visible. Captain Jaoobus, without further hesitation, walked promptly into the parlor. The long, low, red curtained room "was brilliantly lit with a wasteful pro fusion of candles, a huge fire of wood roared in the ingle, and standing side by side, with thoir backs to the blaze, were two very tall, loosely hung men, dressed in the decent black garb and falling white collar affected by the Pres byterian ministers of the day. Save that the elder man bad white hair and wore a beard, while the younger was clean ehaven and almost bald, so that his groat head glistened like a moist egg in the firelight, the two resembled each other in every particular. Captain Jacobus took off his hat with a sweeping gesture and began, with -some show of deliberation, to unbuckle and to lay upon the table bis sword and -pistola The two parsons returned the ealnte with a grave inclination, the younger bowing just a fraction of time behind the elder, after a momentary glanoe at him, as if (thought the cap tain) the junior had so lively a habit of 8ubservienoe to the senior that be man ifested it unconsciously, even in the most trivial notions. Captain Jacobus disposed himself comfortably upon the ettje against the wall and called for -wine. Opposite to bini, upon the high backed settle in the ingle nook, the travelers' saddles were piled together with their riding cloaks and great slouohed bats. "Yon travel late for gentlemen of the oassock, " remarked the captain. "Have you no fear of highwaymen?" "We put our trust in the sword of the Lord, " replied the elder clergyman piously. "And of Gideon, " echoed the youn ger in a thin, high voice, extremely out of keeping with his bulk. "Spoken very godly, and a mighty pretty sentimentl" observed the cap tain, rolling his liquor on his tongua 4 'And yet it seems to me you run some thing of a risk notwithstanding. " "My son and I, " returned the old man, with much tranquillity, "shoulder to shoulder have bested the devil these many years past" "Yea, even when hetraveleth abroad In the guise of a robber!" the other chimed in cheerfully. "Ah, "said the captain, "but perhaps yon never met Captain Jacobus, the cavalier who rules this very road from Beading to Winchester. They say he bath a very deadly spite against Puri tans. The parliament dispossessed him of all estate, I've beard, and be vowed the pragmatical rebels should pay for it among them. " Pausing to sip his vf ine, the speaker eyed the two parsons over the edge of bis glass. They returned bis gaze in silence, with a watchful atten tion. "He has a mighty pleasant way with him, so I'm told, that Captain Jacobus, " pursued the captain, "none of your common stand and deliver meth ods for him, but all manner of pretty knacks and strange devices. Why, now, just to give you an example: Suppose be was sitting where I sit now. " The speaker paused a moment, but the two big clergymen did not move so much as an eyelid. "It's likely he would pro pose a game at the cards to yon two gen tlemen. Down you would have to sit with him. willy nilly, you see, and in side of an hour I'll wager he would have won the very coat off your backs, all by pure skill, you understand. No violence at all And, talking of cards," aid the captain briskly, with a sudden change of tone, "what do you say to a turn? Come, landlord, a clean pack I" Tho highwayman rose, moved an el bow chair to the tablo, and looking at the two parxons with a vory eloquent expression of countenance sat absently fingcriug his pistols. "I am exceeding sorry, sir. It is ira possible tbnt I should pleasure you in so carnal a diversion, " said tho old man mildly, "and, sitting asido the oluiun of my holy office, I know not cue paint ed toy from t'other. I will ask you to pardon me. We have ridden far today. and with a courteous gesture bo sat down upon the settle lu the chimney corner, uud lmming back upon the ban rilo of cloaks and saddles closed bis eyes and folded bis hands. "And you, sir? Come, doff the priost bood for an hour. Uuohuln the old Ad am and give him a run I Trust me, you will be a world the better for so self de nying on exercise. What, tig not so long since you wore in college that your fingers have foruot the feel of the cards, so glossy and ticklish, I'll warraut. Sit down, young man, and cut for the deal, like a saint of sonsel The momentary silence that followed was broken by a tiny click as the cap tain cockod a pistol. The bald young man started slightly at the sound, the recumbent figure on the settle opened its eyes, and the two exchaueod a glance so rapid as to bo scarcely perceptible. "Sir," answered the young man ear nestly, "yon touch me nearer than you know. I am naturally eager for social divertisemuuts, and, I own, it seems bard that a single traveler like yourself must sit and twiddle bis thumbs be cause his fellow guests chance to be clergymen. Yet see how it is. Before I was a man grown I gave my word to mv father never again to tonch the cards. " "Johnny, " broke in the old gentle man, "I give you back your word. Do as your conscience bids yon and call to remembrance the house of Klnimon, sonny." "Nay, said the captain pleasantly, sav no more, say no more. I would not be an occasion of stumbling to any, It would bo a thousand pities to risk a sojourn in hell for the sake of a tram pery game of cards, " and cocking the other pistol be laid one on either side of bim. The bald young man, a good deal Has tered, drew up a chair and sat down, wiping the beads of perspiration from his forehead with bis coat nuff. It becomes my turn to entreat tbe pleasure, although, I fear, yon will find me but a dull opponent, " ne sata, wnn a ghastly attempt at urbanity. "Come, sir, let us to't. I am heartily glad of tbe opportunity. " "No, no," said the captain, shuffling the cards. "Y 'are forcing yourself out of sheer cood nature. I see it I will have no man blacken his record inbeav en for me!" Not a jot, not a tittle," returned the other, with an obsequious alacrity, and I take it greatly as a favor you should play with so rusty an amateur, "Well, have it as you will, thon,' said tbe captain, "and what shall we call the stakes?" Shall we say Jacobuses?" said the bald young man smoothly. A doubt crossed the mind or Captain Jacobus, and he looked up sharply at the speaker. But the bald yonng man was laboriously dealing the cards, bis white face creased in a fatuous smile, and tbe captain could make nothing of his expression. "Why, yes, with all my heart," r turned tbe captain. "Jacobuses, cer tainly," and the two men settled to tbe game, the olergyman conning bis play with tbe most arduous attention, often olutobing his jaw and pausing to con aider, and the captain, with scarcely a glance at his hand, nonchalantly tost ing his oards on tbe table. They played without exchanging I word. At intervals a smoldering log broke and fell upon the hearth, disen gaging a shower of sparks, the old cler eyman snored in tbe chimney corner, and the night wind rustled in tbe trees outside. At first tbe game went evenly, but as tbe night wore on a little heap of gold began to accumulate at tbe el bow of the bald young man in a man ner to the captain quite unaccountable. The doubt in his mind grew and priok- ed him. Be began to watch tbe other narrowly and presently detected a piece of very deft manipulation. Tbe high wayman said nothing, but twisting his mustache looked the other full in tbe eyes. Tbe cneat Diinxea, went very white and glanced swiftly round at the sleeper, who continued to snore plaoirt ly, but tbe captain, at the moment of choosing a card and without turning bis bead, saw the old man s eyes open wide and shoot an answering look of meaning at his son. Tbe incident passed so auicklv that to an onlooker the pause in the game would have beon barely noticeable. Captain Jacobus, un der cover of tbe table, unsheathed a short dirk and laid it naked on bis knee. Soon tbe pile of goldpieces began to dwindle and change sides upon tbe ta ble, when suddenly, as tbe bald young man laid down a card, the captain, with an oath, drove bis dagger through tbe back of bis opponent's hand deep into tbe oak. "Not again, my cully," be cried. The man screamed and fell back in a swoon, and at tbe sound tbe other par son leaped to his feet with a cry, whip ping a great horse pistol from bis pock et but the captain was too quick for him. Before he could bring the ponder ous engine to bear the highwayman had caught bis wrist with one hand and thrust the muzzle of a pistol into bis face with the other. Tbe clergyman's weapon exploded harmlessly, tbe bullet striking tbe ceiling. "Now," said Captain Jacobus, releas ing him, "it's my turn. Obey orders!" be thundered. "Band up those sad dles!" Tbe old man, with shaking fingers and a very wry face, heaved tip tbe baggage and dumped it on tbe table, where tbe litter of cards was afloat in widening pools of blood. "Empty out the saddlebags! Give at bnt the shadow of disobedience, and I'll nut a ballot in yon I What's hero? Now. what are a couple of rascal par sons doing with a fortuuo of gold? Won it at the cnrils. I suppose! And what kind of soar is this for a clergyman?" For among a miscellany of personal effects were two bulky lmithern bugs full to the throat with broad pieces, a croat iowelcd watch and a handful of ladies' rings and trinkets. Tho sham clergyman, biting bis fingers and look ing huggurdly at tho spoil, stood in a sullen silence. At the other end of the board the bald young man was moaning and writhing in his chair, his band pin ned fast. The captain, vigilant as bird, but thoroughly nthis ense and en joying himself hugely, leaned against the paneling eying the pair by turns. "Come." be said, "speak up, parson, Make a clean confession, my evaugolistl You may tio up your little boy, if yon care to, while you talk. The old man cast a venomous glanoe of contempt upon his abject ofspring. "Serve him rightl" he broke out sav agoly. "Tbe clumsy fool!" "I begin to percoive yon are some thing of a precisian, " remarked the cap tain. "Let me make your son'sexcuses. To got the better of Captain Jacobus is a highly trmerions enterprise lor young man, though I say it But I must ask you to take my dagger out of bim and to clean it I thank you. Now, add your purse to tbe blunt and pack it all carefully nil again. It's time for ma to bo. as tbe song says. " "Come, " returned the otherroughly, "let's talk senso, captain. The crop was fairly nimmed on the road, as you might have done yourself. You can't mean to wbiddlo your fellows?" "On the road? You surprise met And yet I bad some kind of an inkling that it wasn't entirely parson beneath those beautiful black clothes, too," said the caDtain genially. "Why, of oonrse, gentlemen of the road, like yourself," said the old man, brightoning somewhat at the fricndli ness of the other's tone. "Bnt parsons we've been for tbe last six months, just to implant a little confidence " "And how did it all come about?" inauired Captain Jacobus. "Parsons wo were for six months," repeated the impostor, "in Kiugsolere yondor." He jerked bis thumb over bis shonldor. "Did you never try tne lay, captain? You have to live mighty strict while it lasts, but it's a good lay a good lay!" The speaker smiled sourly at the recolleotiou. "Highly respected dj rich aud poor. There was nothing good enough for such a brace of saints as Johnny aud me. Fat collections every Sabbath, and the poultry and butter ana cheeses why, we lived like a oouple of kings, except for the liquor. Your parson must be cruel sparing of the bene bowse. That was where the shoe pinched. But at last our chance came along, for a girl of tbe place was going to be married to some bloated cit in Winchester. Her men folk were out o' the way, and who so fit to escort her and her mother aud her dowry as the two tall parsons? So, one on each side, all for fear of yon, captain, we jogged alonz till nightfall. And here we are, and I offering you a third 01 the swag, and what could be fairer?" Captain Jacobus stood erect and clear ed bis throat Tbe highwayman loved a striking situation, like an actor, and delighted much more in tbe series of histrionic opportunities continually pre sented by the incidents of his profession than in the profits it afforded bim. If need should so require, he would even sacrifice all plunder for tbe sake of sheer effect. Tbus the difficulty was to preserve drainatio propriety with a min imum loss out of pocket, and in its solu tion lay the very marrow of tbe enter prise. For tbe first time, that night the captain saw his way clearly to a satis factory achievement Tbe taxing of two Presbyterian ministers had at first ap peared to bim merely as a duty, neces sary, but dull, to the discbarge of which a little novelty might be imparted by tbe use of the cards. It was an agreea ble shock to him to discover that he was dealing with scoundrels, and that the occasion would require all bis quick ness and resource to save him from be ing hoist with his own petard. Having accomplished this so far and succeeded in inducing the elder rascal to condemn himself out of his own mouth, tbe psy chological moment had arrived for ma appropriate closing scene. You dogs of Egypt!" began Captain Jacobus in a voice that made tbe glasses ring, "would you make terms with me? By the heavens, you blaspheme! You shall strip yourself of every doit! 'Tis yon and your like bring disgrace npon tbe names of tbe king s gentlemen. Are we to keep the road witb curs like you snapping at our heels? What! Yon would decoy two poor ladies upon the king's highway and drag the very rings from their fingers. You would poach on the manor of Captain Jacobus, take pos session of his inn, sharp him at the cards and shoot him through tbe head afterward, if he hadn't been a match for the hulking pair of yon rum clapper dogeons! All that you would do, and when he gets upsida with you you have tbe devil's own bravado to inform him of it to bis face and to offer bim a share! A share! To me!" and the orator inter polated some highly stimulating oaths. 'A share! You shall see now! Empty your pockets on the tabla Take off that ring off with it that, or tbe finger. Search the other rascal Now, strip, the pair of yon. Quick about it! Am I to dance attendance npon yon while you make a toilet? Put the clothes on the fire. So!" The two men, constrained by the brace of grinning pistol muzzles, strip ped to their shirts and obeyed in si lence. Tbe face of tbe elder was flushed to a dusky red. His eyes shone in bis bead. A trickle of blood from bis bitten lip streaked his white beard, and the younger tottered to and fro witb a dead white face, bugging bis wounded hand. Now," said Captain Jacobus, "yon shall lead my horso for rue, by thun der!" Keeping bit eye npon the two, he moved to tbe door, opened it and whis tled. Instautly there was a clatter of hoofs, ond his black mare came trotting round the comer aud trampled Into the room. The captain stood by tbe homo's bend, rating the shivering wretches like dogs while they strapped on the bag gage, ond wbi u they had done be led tho anlniul iuto tho road. "Hold my stirrup, Gideou!" said tbe captain to the hapless Johnny and in cluding them both in a final exhorta tion. "The landlord takes your uags for the reckoning. Bnt if ever I nioct you out on tho pad I'll shoot you down like vermin, so sum as my name is Captain Jacobus. Stand clear!" And with o bound bo was gone, leav ing the two half clad rascals a prey to the humiliation of impotent fury aud tbe moat deadly discomfiture of body amid the scone of the dismalest disorder, the last sparks of their clothes flying up tho chimney in the icv draft, and tbe gray light of tbe winter's dawn pal ing tbe caudles. It is npon record that Captain Jaoo bus took it npon himself . to restore all the trinkets, and, according to his rule in snob cases, one-half the money to the rightful owners thereof, and that tbe other half went into the bottomless pocket of King Charles II, then living very privately in the city of Cologne. L, Cope Coruford in Pall Mall Budget Mackaye Trick. Millionaire Mackay tells a story of a contest be had witb one of his foremen. Tbe foreman was something of a nat uralist and trained one of the enormous grasshoppers of the west, as Mark Twain trained his frog, until be could jump about ten feet Thon be interested Mr. Mackay in the insect Mr. Mackay went ont and caught some hoppers and backed them against the record breaker, with tbe result that be was beaten ev ery time. Then be became determined to win oud sent several of tbe bauds out to hunt for tbe strongest jumpers tbey could find. But all to no purpose until one day he discovered a wet spot on tho table near where tbe foreman's hopper had sat. Investigating the mat ter, bo fonnd that tbo spot was very strong ammonia, that the foreman bad a vial of ammonia with a dropper in his sleeve, and that a drop of the am monia made a grasshopper jump bard enough to beat the reoord every time. So Mr. Mackay provided himself witb a dropper and then went to another battle. The same morning he managed to get hold of the foreman's dropper, emptied it and filled it with chloroform, instead of ammonia, and then kept tbe foreman witb him until the laet minuta The grasshoppers were brought forth, and Mr. Mackay's flew through space, while the foreman's only heaved and heaved, finally rolling over and going to sleep. It was not until the third contest that the foreman found out tbe trick. Two Funerals, That is a touching story told of tbe funeral of Sir Walter Scott: The road by which the procession took its way wound over a hill, whence can be seen ono of the most beautiful of landscapes. It was his habit to pause there to gaze upon the scene, and when taking a friend out to drive he never failed to stop there and cull the attention of his companion to the most beautiful points of the view. Few could refrain from tears when, carrying their master on bis last journey, tbe horses stopped at the old familiar spot, as it were, for bim to give a last look at tbe scene he had loved so well. Extremes meet I told this anecdote of Scott's funeral to a friend, who, in turn, told mo a story. A little less than a century ago there lived in a certain New England village a graceless fellow who spent most of bis time at tbe grog shop, to the neglect of all honest call inns. When the summons had at last come for him To Join The Innumerable caravan that moves To the pale realms of shade. as his funeral procession, on its way to the nlace of burial, passed bis favorite haunt the bearers inadvertently turned a little aside, at the same time slacken ing their pace. Tbe wag of tbe neigh borhood spoke hastily: "Go on, go on!" said he. "Don't stop here, for meroy's sake! He'll be sure to go in!" Journal of American Folklore. The Reign of Peace.

The mania for exaggerated lamp shades seems to be on tbe wane. The newest lamps show fine globes made to harmonize with the foundation, and dealers report a revived sale of tinted porcelain shades. Tbe silk, however, is yet made into frills and furbelows that suggest nothing short of ball gowns re furnished to serve a new end, but tbe tulle that is made to copy a ballet dan cer's skirts and tbe paper monstrosities are both ugly and dangerous.
