We knew what the thieves most !atend to do. Their scow was so heavilyladen that they wootd, of coarse, cotattempt t o row it out on the Niagarahere They would tow it up t ie Can-adian shore a couple of nines, concealpart of their cargo and use their longsweeps to row the scow diagonallyacross t o Navy Island, where theywould probably send small boats forthe hidden whiskey. So somewhere Int i e cat they most pat a rope and twomen ashore. >-To» third would stay onthe scow to steer It while the otherstowed. - < ~ . a - -

We patiently waited for more thanhalf an hoar. Tien we dimly saw ashadowy Hack object floating slowlytoward as.

Presently, on striking t i e current ot.t i e cat. It began to move faster, and wethen saw a single row of kes*'rangedon its deck. Two men were sitting onkegs: the third, nearest the stem,noiselessly worked a steering osr.

In a minute or two as the craft wasabreast of a s and the steersman try-ing to pot It in touch with our shore,we rose t o our feet, and I said.

"Land right here with that whiskey,stes!—i'ntrair excise oflJcer."*"

"Hullo. Cunamore! That's nice workfor you. Isn't it?" retorted Ike. "Fireaway and be hanged!"

Meantime the steersman threw thescow's head, toward Bog Island.

As our design was to capture the menwithout bloodshed. I now fired a pistol-shot over their beads,r--"Guess both sides can play thatgame." exclaimed one of the thieves,and three revolvers cracked, whiletheir owner instantly crouched behindthe kegs.

Late In November of tbat year, Ibeard that a e wives of Isaac andMomti Schram, whose mourning fortheir departed husbands bad been, myinfornnnt said, extremely "Violent; but'brief, bad sold off their household ef-fects - and" mysteriously' disappeared.For unknown reasons the widows badso artfully covered their tracks thatno one was able or cared to trace thembeyond Buffalo. I could not have toldwhy this news comforted me, but i tdid. and I gradually recovered from mydepression^

One October afternoon, six and aquarter years afterward, I was sittingIn the office of a Minneapolis hotel,when I noticed a respectably dressedfarmer-like man glancing alternatelyat the register and at me.

After a few words with the clerk, heseated himself by ,mx_Ejde._ making.Bome commonplace remark about theweather. He seemed a well-informed,agreeable fellow, and we were soon en-gaged In conversation.

By-and-by. apropos of field sports, beraid.—

"Stranger, the cleric tells me yon'reout on s snooting trip. Now, I liveabout twelve miles out of town, andwe're just overrun with prairie-chlck-e s a If you like to come out and putup with us. It wont cost you a centand you'll have loads of fun."

•Thank TOO—glad of the chance;"said I. "And what Is your name, my.friend!" for he had repeatedly usedmine.

"Well," he laughingly replied. "ir youcall me Peters you won't be far out ofthe way."

Bat in another mo-ment the clumsy boJk bad cleared thecat and entered upon the current of Ni-agara, which strikes against Bog Isl-and and takes a strong o u f a j i l trend:

"They accuse us of stirring up s«*antagonism," said' one. "At tho meet-Ing held at the Berkeley Lyceum,three- -weeks-ago 'by the" National'League for tbe Civic Education of Wo-men, the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott re-served Us choicest fulmtnatioM forthose who set sex against sex. But Itwasn't this kind of sex antagonismthat he had in mind, I presume.

But ho. married, an 'anil,' u u

The Sensible Woman.Tho woman who makes good must

be blessed with strength and healthand an ambition to learn and take ad-vantage of overy opportunity thatcomes her way.

8ho must work with all her heart;play with all her heart; above allthings avoiding Indifference and theenemy to all. progres«^apatn>'. •

She must select the pleasure thatwill bring her the greatest Joy, choosethe work she Is best fitted for.

Ordinary hard luck never ruinspeople. It puts- them In a mood toloarn a thing or two. Everybodymakes mistakes. With some 4t is aregular occupation; but to make amistake and wall about It, Is tomake two.

Women often speak of their talentsnot being appreciated. A talent I*next to worthless unless one has theability to get down to hard, plain,ewryday grind,, says tbe Delineator.

Then, too, the woman who winsmust learn to talk, but not to tell.There- is an- art—the most consum-mate art—In appearing absolutelyfrank to the butcher, tho baker and.the family: eat and yet not reveal anyof one's business' affairs.

The woman who wins must be ableto hold all and hear all yet betray Itby neither word nor look; but Inju-dicious defense no more than by overt,treachery; by anger at a malicious ac-cuBatlon no more than by a smllo atan egregious mistake. To be able todo this requires a rare combination oftact and self-reapect. One cannot Justslide along in business and win pro-motion and more salary. A knowl-odgo of the business Is necessary toshow results.

Th«apostlea had prayed for deliveranceand that sl(D* snd-wonder* might 1w 'done In the name of Jesus, and thisprayer bad been very literally andvery fully answered, but this displayof power had awakened tbe jealousyand increased bate of the Sadduceea,No man or company of men has everbeen filled with the Spirit that someone else was not filled with Jealousy(cf. ch. 13; 45: 17:5; Matt. 27:18).The jealousy In this case was verybitter. It wept even to the point, ofarresting the whole, apostolle. -coaw...pany and casting them Into prison.But while the ecclesla«tlc»l authorl-_ties were against them, God and His

With the de-liverance came the command to goand stand and speak In the temple, to ,,the people an the words of this life.This required grest courage underthe circumstances, bjit to disobey af-ter such a remarkable deliverance •would have.Jjeen gross Ingratitude.\Ve, too. haye been delivered fay -so- '••••great and glorious a deliverance thatIt would be gross Ingratitude not tospeak all the words of this life, nomatter bow great the peril,1' The obe-dience of the apostlea to God's com-mand was very prompt; daybreakfound them In tbe temple.

II. Peter and the Other ApostlesUeforx the Sanhedrim, 33-33. Tberage ol the Sanhedrim was temperedby fear, and they brought them with*out violence. The high priest darenot aslc how they got out. Neitherdid be ask, as on a former occasion.In-whiit name •tb?" miracles' Were ~wrought (Acts 4:7.12). Peter founda way to testify for Jesus antf-Htrresurrection. Tbe one point tbe highpriest made was that they had com-manded them that they should; not -teach la this name. The high priestsaid <h.it in spite of the prohibition ofthe ecclesiastical court they had filledJerusalem with their-doctrine. Thisstatemont of the high priest was verymuch lo their credit. Men are muchneeded to-day who will follow intheir steps and fill all places with thedoctrlm of a risen and dlrlne Sav-iour. What (natters it what the'mostaugust assembly on earth commandsif God commands something differ-ent? Peter did not say It is our priv-ilege to obey God against the com-mand of men, ndr-We ought to obey—God rather than men," but "We mustobey Ood rather, than men." In that'•must^hewmh*secr8t>bf3Me«sedvt ^ b , f 3 M e « s e d vness and Tower. "Weought to be obe-dlent to all proper!)' constituted au-thority, ecclesiastical and civil, as-long as It does not conflict with thecommandments of God. but Just assoon as It does we should turn a deafear-'to "(iutnan" authority and "obeyGod." Tbe council had bidden themnot to teach In this name, but Godhad said, "Go nnd speak" (v. 20). 'The high priest further charged themwith trying to bring Jesus' blood uponthem. They ought not to have ob-jected to that, for they had said, "Hisblood be on us" (Matt. 27:2ii). With-out any fear of their stern looks andImplied threats Peter looked them intbe eyo and said, "The God of ourfathers raised up Jesus, whom ysslew and hanged upon n tree." Itshivered their claim to authority. Itexposed the enormity of tholr guilt.It Is noticeable how Peter In all hla.sermons, rings the changes on thoguilt.of man as seen, la hls.trsatmen)^ofsHIBCi rTcT-bea'PHnce and a-8av^lour." Tills Is tho twofoldcofllco ofthe exalted Christ. The two office!go together.
