Mot, by P. Y. Black.
Young Wyvil stuck fast to the side of
the man whom first he had met at the
canteen on the border, the man of di
vers names, who had Introduced him
self as Lawrence, but had elected to
join the raiders under another appella
tion. The wallaber, even in that short
space, had made friends, and if be were
reticent of bis past that was no uncom
mon thing in ranks wherein few men
stood save as a last resource. Wyvil,
himself with a past, and Corporal
Doune, now cold upon tbe veldt, had
attached themselves to one to whom
their old school and varsity traditions
were fraternally familiar. And now,
without the light hearted outcast’s sup
port, Lawrence could not have finished
the dismal Journey to Pretoria. Strips
from a torn shirt bandaged his face
where a Boer bullet had plowed his
cheek and cut away a portion of lijs
cbiu. He bad lost blood, but when still
miles away from their destination he
swayed iu his saddle more than the
wound seemed to warrant. Wyvil press
ed close to him and thrust his arm un
der tbe other’s.
“Old man,” said be, “Is it bleeding
fresh?”
Lawrence steadied himself resolute
ly aud shook his head, but Wyvil, him
self unscratcbed, looked anxious.
"Look here,” lie said, “that little Hol
lander medicine mau doesn’t seem half
bad, you kuow, but he was iu a burry
when be patched you up. I thluk we’d
better get this Boer fellow to let us
drop to the rear and have tbe doc make
another examination. Honest, you know,
you look pretty near dead.”
“Rot, old boy,” Lawrence almost
gasped. “Thank you all the same. I'll
manage to Pretoria, but It hurts—It
hurts.”
Farther on be spoke again, with pain.
"Wyvil,” he said, “If they don’t shoot
you, you're going home?”
“And you, too, I hope.”
Lawrence laughed, with weak grlm-
ness.
“I can never go home,” he said. “But
wait a minute—it hurts—It hurts! Why
didn’t those beggars finish me quick
like Douue? Look here. I’ve lost my
pocketbook somewhere. There was au
address lu It—my wife.”
“Old chap.”
“I want you to see her—her address
Is lost - but 1 can remember it. I want
you to see her and tell her that I died
honorably and—and—my God, how It
hurts!"
“Wait until we are—wherever they
are taking us. What makes you talk
of dying from a cut In the cheek? Hel
lo! Look out! Wacht!”
Lawrence had turned gray, had sway:
ed, had fallen into Wyvll’s arms as the
latter leaped dowu to catch him. The
guard rode up, and the procession mov
ed on, passing them. The doctor gal
loped to tbe prisoner and made a quick
examination. The bandaged wound
was doing well. Tbe trouble was not
there. The doctor opened the coat and
shirt and found a bleeding wound In
the side.
“Ye gods!” cried Wyvil. “He never
mentioned this! No wonder be looked
so ghastly. Why, he must have suf
fered like blazes all those miles!”
“Verdamter!” the disgusted doctor
exclaimed. “He must be In a hurry to
die! Ills clothes are soaked In blood.”
The num was patched up, placed in a
jolting wagon and so gained the prison
at Pretoria half dead. He fainted as
he was carried In, and when he came
to himself he saw that he was in a
room crowded with his comrades, some
wounded, some utterly miserable, some
recklessly Indifferent. He lay in a cor
ner, and next day the faithful Wyvil
was by his side with water.
"Why did you not tell of that bullet
wound?” his friend asked reproachful
ly. “No wonder you nearly fell from
your saddle. It's a wonder you did not
die In It.”
“It’s a pity,” said Lawrence.
Wyvil looked at him vexedly.
“Look here, Lawrence," he said. "This
is consummate bosh, you know. I have
no right to Inquire Into your private af
fairs. Most of the men In our ranks
have done something at home, and per-

haps you have. I have. But—oh, hang
it, nothing is bad enough to make a fel
low commit suicide, and that's what
you seem to be up to!”
"It Isn’t suicide; It was an honest bul
let.”
"Poppy talk! Sophistry! You're In a
bad way, but It might have been mend
ed. Now, forget all about that thing
•t home, whatever It was. Be a man;
get well; have another try for the
stakes.”
"I was Innocent of any wrongdoing
at home. It was out here I went to the
devil. Put your hand In my breast. Do
you feel a rubber packet. Cut the
string round my neck. Now open It.”
Wyvil opened the thin package and
produced the photograph of a woman
and a little child.
“Your wife?” said he. "She Is lovely.
Now, look here, old man. You’re going
back to her.”
“I can't,” said Lawrence hopeleasly.
and his voice was weak. “Let me look.
She was pretty. I’d like to see tbe boy
once too. You would not thluk it, Wy-

them pushed me off the ladder—sent
me to the d"vll in the devil's land. Give

"Dou’t try to talk.”
"You will know her. Look on the back
ami see if iter name Is not there. Then
you will know my real name. But—
dou’t let anybody else.”
"It is too dark here. Let me take it
to the light at the door.”
He slipped away, and when he came
back a stranger In citizen dress who
had bn it silently moving among the
prisoners was staudlng over Lawrence,
who, raised on his elbow, was looking
up at him desperately and defiantly.
“You've got

“1 think so, and 1 suppose 1 have a
claim on you prior to that of Paul
Kruger,” the stranger coolly replied.
You've changed uames pretty often of
late.”
"What’s up?” cried Wyvil, coming
back. "Excuse me, sir, but my friend
Is badly wounded. Even the exertion
of talking" —
”1 think lu that ease,” tbe stranger
said calmly, “I can get an order to have
him removed to the hospital on the
hill.”
"You know him then? Thank you.”
“No,” cried tbe wounded raider, with
violence. “You would have me get
well, you?”
"How? What’s the matter?” Wyvil
asked.
"The fact Is that I have a warrant
here for tlie arrest of your friend, Rob
ert Lawrence, for a murder in Johan
nesburg two weeks ago.”
Wyvil recoiled from tbe baud Law

"It was in fair fight,” he whispered
lu despair.
"You will have some difficulty to
prove that,” the detective remarked.
“I swear it,” said Lawrence, and then

the sick man with a sudden wrench
tore the bandages from his side, and
the wound, rudely opened, bled profuse

aid, but tbe detective was before him.
"You go and send for the prison doc

THE SOUND OF A PIANO.
Iremlnf Defect« That May Be Often
Due lu Exterior Can«««.
“A piano,” said a dealer, “will some
times develop or seem to develop a
flaw in some one note, which comes to
have a rattle or jingle or unpleasant
burr to it, but this jarring sound which
seems to come from the piano may in
reality come from some source quite
outside of it.
"Any given note when struck pro
duces a certain number of vibrations to
tbe second. There may be in the room
some object that is in tone sympathy
with some particular note, and that
will lie set In motion by it when that
note Is sounded.
"The owner of a tine piano sent to us
one day to say that there was some
thing wrong about a certain note of.
the instrument, so that that note had
an unpleasant sound when struck.
When 1 heard the note sounded, I knew
at once that the disagreeable rough
ness or buzz about it was due not to
any defect in the piano, but to some
thing somewhere about lu the room,
and. nsl ing the lady to strike that note
occasionally. 1 walked around the room
to see If I could locate it.
“Passing across the middle of tbe
room as that note was struck, the
cause of the jarring accompaniment of
it was discovered to come from the vi
bration of one of the glass globes on
the chandelier overhead.
"The owner of the piano was almost
Incredulous as to this, tbe Bound bad
seemed so plainly to come from tlie
piano Itself. But when at my request
she stood under the chandelier and 1
struck the note she was readily con-
vlnced.
”1 made that globe Immovable and
then struck the note on the piano, Th»
answer was clear and Bweet and true.
“So, you see, the sound of tbe piano
may for one thing depend much upon
its surroundings, and wbat may seem
to be a defect in a piano may be in re
ality attributable to something quite
apart from the piano Itself.
"And thus It might easily be that
some noble Instrument that had seem
ed to be declining or to be developing
faults owed its apparent change to a
change of environment or to some spe
cific outside cause and was in reality
as good as ever, as would happily be
discovered whenever the instrument
wus again brought under favorable
conditions.”—Chicago inter Ocean.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
a.
The custom of street car conductors
to refuse smooth nickels, presumably
in accordance with orders from their
managers, baa been given a severe
blow by Justice Ryan of tbe circuit
court in St. Louis. The St. Louis
Transit couipauy was sued for dam
ages by John Ruth, a passenger who
had been ejected from a car because
be insisted that tbe conductor should
receive a sraoofli nickel for fare. The
complainant Was awarded $2,000.
Judge Ryan said:
"There is no such thing, as assumed
by the defendant, as a nickel of less
than full face value. A gold coin may
lie worth less fhan its face value be
cause of a bra s on or loss of weight,
but this is not true of a nickel. 1
think the carrier should be held to the
rule that If It ejects a passenger who
tenders a good coin in payment It does
so at its peril. It Is better that the
conductor If In doubt should receive
the coin than to establish a rule of
law which would permit him to eject
a passenger who tenders a good coin
and then plead as an excuse that he
thought it was bad. In this case his
plea does not go so far. He only re
jected It because it was 'smooth.' lie
never claimed it was bad. His act was

tion of the only piece of money the
plaintiff had at the time.”—Nashville

Rath« For Baker«.
The acme of hygienic precaution is
reached in the regulations of a noted
German baking company. Some of the
rules laid down for the workmen are
worthy of note and contrast strangely
with tlie reports on private bakeries
which have been so frequent of late
years. Every man must submit to a
medical examination, paid for by the
company. When lie comes, he takes a
ba tit and then dresses for his work in
a suit provided by the company, the
laundrying of which is done at its ex
pense. Every loaf is wrapped in glazed
paper, so that neither the retailer nor
driver bandies the bread. All the flour
is sifted, mixed and kneaded by ma
chinery, tlie water used being filtered
and deodorized. Tlie kneading is done
by a system of plungers. An Archime
dean screw constantly throws the
dough under them. Practically the
bread is not handled from the time it

Speed of the Wliale.
Ordinarily the whale does not travel
more than four or five miles an hour,
but if it is anxious to avoid the society
of whalers it can go at the rate of six
teen miles an hour. To a person in a
whaleboat being towed by an animal
winch has just been harpooned the le-
viatlian of the deep seems to be going
at a much faster rate, say a mile a
minute. When be first starts ofT after
being struck, tlie whale must be going
at something like that speed, for the
harpoon line runs out through the
“chocks” so rapidly that it makes them
smoke and if they are of wood may set
them afire. But after his first spring
tlie wliale settles down to about a six
teen Imlle an hour gait, which is fast
enough for comfort.
Vienna’s Last llorae Car.
A few evenings ago the Vienna public
took a noisy farewell ot the horse
trams In the Ringstrasse. Tbe two last
cars, which started in opposite direc
tions, were hung with blue lamps and
decorated with flags and greenery. The
oldest drivers were on the seats and
the oldest conductors in tlie wagons.
Botli cars were crowded to the utmost
possible extent, and the police for once
closed their eyes to overcrowding.
Songs were sung and hurrahs given
for tlie horses, while the noise brought
the guests out of the cafes, windows
were thrown open and handkerchiefs
waved. New York still retains the dis
tinction of having more horse cur mile
age than any other city in the world.
