pieces of English literature -Hood's
poem and Dulwer's novel was buoged
on Aug. 0, 1750. '
Aram was ..born In 1704 In York
hlre. By the tlmo he was fourteen
years old ho was regarded In the nolgh
Iwrhood as a prodigy of learning. His
fame for piety and gentleness is a
scholar spread,, and as a result he was
invited to Kiinrenborougu to open a
school In 1734. , There a strango de
velopment loos piaco m Aram's char
acter. He formed an osioclatlou with
a drinking, turbulent crowd-of men,
the oppoHlte of hlmmtlf, among them
Daniel Clark, who kept a little cob
bler's shop, and Richard Houseman, a
flax dresser.
In 1745 Clurk marrlod a woman with
A small fortuno of $1,000, Immediately
be i and his companions dovlned a
scheme to rob her and her friends.
uiarK was to obtain all the goods be
could on credit nnd band them over to
Aram and Houseman who were to de
posit them In a safe place. Then after
securing the plunder Clurk was to do
camp, leaving his wife to shift for her
self, and the .property was to be sold
and divided among the three men. .
Clark went about procuring a wide
"variety of articles on credit He pre
tendod he was about to give a great
wedding feost nnd borrowed silver
ttankards, salvers spoons, , etc., from
whoever would lend them. As fast
as the different articles were obtained
Clark, accompanied by Aram and
Houseman,; carried them to a place
called St, Robert's cave.
When Clark had "borrowed" about
everything valuable his acquaintances
bad to lend, the plotters decided it was
time for him to disappear. So lu the
early morning of Feb. 8, 1745, he,
Aram and Houseman went to the cave
to divide the spoils before Clark left
Aram ond Clark had quarreled a good
deal during the progress of predatory
operations. . At Jue enhance, to .the

Arnm pushed Chirk uuny and rained
down tremendous blows on his bead
and chest. Clark fell dead.
Houseman, torrlllod nt the sight and.
ns he said, afraid of meeting the same
fate, turned and run away. Aram did
not show a pnrtlcle of remorse or feur,
He gathered up the booty nnd carried
It to his houne, where be burled part of
It In the garden. He burled Clark's
body and heaped itonm over tho grave,
In the afternoon be went for House
man and Uin-ntonod hi in If he disclosed
the murder and umde him believe be
was equally guilty In law.
Clark's dlnappenrnnre was not no1
tlced for a dny or two. Then tho peo
ple from whom he hnd "borrowed"
Jewelry and plate began to make In
qulrles. Suspicion was directed to
Arnnf lu sums way. The village au
thorities searched his house and found
n bundle containing battered plate nnd
clothing otnlned with blood. Notwith
standing this, no action seems to have
been taken by the authorities, nor was
It suspected that Clark had been mur
dered. Tho neighbors begun to Jeer at
the learned schoolmaster, however, and
Aram suddenly left bis wife nnd chil
dren and walked to London,
For fourteen years his family heard
nothing of him. He spent the greater
part of the time wandering about from
place to place, at last finding a situa
tion as usher In a school at Lynn. In
June, 175S, a, horse dealer who bad
known him In Knnresborough met him
In the Lynu market Aram denied his
Identity. By a singular coincidence,
almost the day the horse dealer accost
ed the now gray haired schoolteacher,
a skeleton was found by some work
men digging a pit In Thistle hill, in
Knnresborough. i
A country town has a keen recollec
tion of everything thnt has occurred
to disturb It, and Immediately the dis
appearance or Clark fourteen years
before was remembered. Houseman
still alive, got druuk first ond then
Joined the crowd of villagers looking
nt the exhumed skeleton. "Clark," he
Hnld with drunken gravity, "was never
burled here." .... . ,
The latter, still too drunk to realize
tho gravity of his position, muttered
that Clark's body would be found in St.
Hubert's cave, : The crowd made a
rush for that place.' and soon a skele
ton was exhumed.
" m not kill htm!" gasped House
inr.n. now thoroughly sober nud terri
fied. "It was Aram. I had no part."
Houseman was, taken to the village
lull., and a warrant was sworn out for
,Vr.i:n. When the' officers, took , him
nvny from the school the pupils cried.
The government used Houseman as a

Intellectual power of the man. Aram
made a half confession the night be
fore his execution, followed by an at
tempt at suicide. According to the
custom of the time, his body was
hanged In chains, and It swung in
Knnresborough forest until 1773. Years
later, when the details of his crime
were dim, his remarkable career at

THE FISH IN HIS BED, "
Funny Climax to an Angling ExptrU
net of Gsneral Gall ifet.
Long ago. In the' days of the second
smplro, General Galllfet was the ald-do-camp
of Napoleon HI. At St Cloud
his quarters were Just over the Im
perial bedroom. Everything " around
him was very graud ud very gloomy.
The window of his room looked upon
the poud that washed the walls of the
chateau. The water was clear and
the surrounding scenery was beautiful,
but tho young lieutenant felt like a
prisoner. Early one morning, while
seated at his window trying to drive
away tho blues with a cigar, he espied
below in the crystal water an euor-
mous carp. The Instinct of the angler.
strong in Galllfet, made the young
man's eyes snap and set his heart
throbbing. '
The big fish was the private property
of tho emperor. Consequently -for Gal
llfet it was forbidden fish. But it was
such a fine fellow I The resistance of
tho soldier's conscience was useless. 1 1
surrendered unconditionally. The, re
maining part of the campaign against
tho carp was simple enough. Gallifet
went to his trunk, brought out his
trusty line, to which he fastened n
hook and an artificial bolt With his
accustomed skill he cast his lino. The
carp was hooked and hauled In through
the window. .
Jlere the lieutenant's fun ended and
his trouble began. The fish, landed
upon a table, overturned a large globe
filled with water and caromed from
that to a magnificent vase, which It
also upset and binashed to pieces upon i
tho floor. Then It began to execute n
genuine pas de carpe among the smith
ereens. , '
The emperor, hearing the strange
racket overhead and seeing the water
trickling through the celling, was as
tonished. -, He rushed upstairs to find
out what was tjae matter. Gallifet
heard him coming and endeavored to
grab the carp and throw It out of the
window andthusidestrov the evidence
But the slippery thing was hard to
bold, so he tossed It into a bed and
covered it up with the bedclothes.
When the emperor entered the. room,
be noticed Immediately the quivering
bedclothes. Ue pulled them down and
uncovered the floundering fish. His
majesty's face assumed an almost Jim-
Jamie expression. (whlch gradually
faded Into a faint smile He took In
the entire situation, saluted and le.ft
the future war minister to meditate
upon the mysteries of a fisherman'!.

. Tho Wrong Bird,
One of the well known magicians
not along ago had a queer experience
but the people In the theater had more
fun out of It than be did. One of his
tricks was to shake a sack to show
that it was empty and then to draw
out of It. an egg. after which he would
always reach in again and bring out
the ben that laid the egg. Of course
he bad to have help In this, and one
night be had a new man who did
everything Just as he had been told
until It came to this act. Reaching
into the bag. be drew forth the fowl
at tho usual time, but instead of the
hen an old rooster bopped down on to
the stage, ruffled Its feathers and
strutted around, crowing with all its
might while the audience laughed
and the magician went out to hunt his
new helper.-London Opinion.
, . Had Experience.
Not long ago there entered the office
of the superintendent of a trolley line
In Detroit an angry citizen demanding
Justice la no uncertain terms. '
In respouse to the official's gentlo in
quiry touching the cause of the demand
tho angry citizen explained that on the
dny previous as his wife was boarding
one of the company's cars the conductor
thereof had stepped on his spouse's
dress, tearing from It more than a yard
of material,
"I can't see thnt we are to blame for
that." protested the superintendent
"Wunt do you expect us to do-get ner
a new dress?' :
"No. sir, I do not," rejoined the angry
citizen, brandishing a piece of cloth.
"What I propose Is rthnt you people
shall match this material." Harper's.

Old Sword Blades,
Rough as the fighters of old were,
the inscriptions which they put on
their swords often showed not only
considerable poetic instinct but senti
mentality. "Faithful in adversity" is
such a sentence engraved on an old
sword of the seventeenth century. In
a collection of blades of the sixteenth
century are these Inscriptions:
"I quarrel." "God give me speed
that my foe be beat indeed." "With this
defense and God's will all my enemies
I shall still." "In battle I will let my
self be used." "When I my sword up
lift in strife. God give the sinner eter
nal life." "Trust in God, bravely war;
therein your fame and honor are."
"Your aim alone be God's great name.
Who dares deny strike thou blm lame."
"Every soldier flue look on this sign
and use his hand for God and the
land." On blades from the eighteenth
century are these inscriptions: "Noth
ing better in the world thou hast than
to hold love and friendship fast" "I
serve." "A good blade I. Who would
deny let him meet me, and I will hold
it will cost him or blood or gold." 1 j
