Mr Smith went, accompanied by the men When Inside of the store and a lamp was lighted one of them presented a revolver and ordered him to open the safe or he would fire. Mr Smith did as dlrertcd.and the mei helped themselves to the contents, which proven to iw $100 in monev and a valuable yold watch. After lyir g and gngilng him so he could not give an alarm, they left. They were both com plete sr range rs.and no clue was secured as to their identitv, or where thev went.

Finally it appeared as though both were engaged in the "blowing-out" process.and were straining lungs and muscles to see which could blow the hardest ; all to no purpose. At last a mu filed curse was heard, fol lowed by the consoling remark : "Wall, we might Rinother to death if we blowed out the conearncd thing , let's let er burn."
