TerrlUr Fire In the Woods of Wisconsin.
About every other mnn one meet*
wound Marshfield, Wisconsin, nowadays
is singed and blistered as the result of a
close contact with foreBt fires. According
to a letter from there the air is heavy with
the nmokt, nnd at night the sky is lurid
with the glare of flames, some of which
are near at hand. While everybody is
alert on the subject, and when a sudden
ahift of the wind may mean the entire de
struction of the town, the old settlers’
funds of nnecdotc ho.vo been drawn on
very freely.
“The best job I ever knew a woods fire
to do,” said old .Jerry llassett, "was in the
fall of ’80, when one of them licked up
Hank Coon, the murderer. Lots of you
fellows wasn’t here then, and the saw-mill
hndn’t eaten into things the way it has
since. A mnn hunt in those days was a
terror. Hank was a .crook and had been
around this section some time. Finally,
one day old man llurkness of Michigan
turned up murdered. Ho had pine lands
up here and had been on the spot seeing
about the putting up of a saw mill. No
man was likely to have much money here,
but Harkness had a line watch and ehnin
and of course some cash, nnd when his
body was found ttieso wore gone. As Hunk
was missing, nobody thought twice about
who had been doing that killing, and we
set out with the idea of catching him be
fore he could get out of liie woods.
“There was about a dozen of us, and we
Jost no time in getting on the trail. About a
month before the murder or llurkness one
of the men who was working for Lander,
a Swede, who had not been iiore long, was
intho woods, and we hail just given up
our search for him when we heard of the
crime and changed off onto Coon. There
had been some fires that fall, bit they
bad not scared us much. After we bail
been on the track of Coon for about a week
we came one morning onto what every
body said was his body. The remains were
hardly recognizable, but the clothes were
his, Loots and hat were his, and a big
born ring on one of the fingers was one
which we had all seen him wear. Think
ing he had starved to death, wo resolved
to search t.ho clothing for Harkness’
money and jewels, but as they were not
to be found we came to the conclusion that
be had buried them, with the expectation
of returning as soon as he thought he
could do so with safety. Then we left
him where he was and returning to camp,
told our story.
“A month after that one of our men
came running in with a story about seeing
lfank Coon In the woods. Nobody be
lieved him at first, hut he was so certain
about it that we concluded to go out with
him. After a long and careful search we
came upon him sure enough, the same
man exactly as he was when we saw him
Inst, except that, his clothing waschanged.
\Ve had him covered and he had to sur
render, after which, in explanation, of his
strange appearance, he said that he had
come upon the body of the missing Swede,
und that ns the latter’s clothes wore better
than his own he had changed with him
for the fun of the thing. He denied most
positively that, he had hud anything to do
•with the murder, and expressed the great
est. willingness to ncaompnny us bank to
camp. Oil the way he was talking so glibly
that, most of us‘forgot that he was our
prisoner, and, watching his chance, he
made a dive for the juuglo and was out of
sight before we could realize what he was
«p to.
“ ‘Burn him out!’ somebody cried, and
then quicker than I can tell it we agreed
to spread out so ns to surround the plaoe,
for wo know lie would hide after a little
■ami thou net lire to the woods. We figured
that If lie did hide that would he a sure

rising from half a dozen quarters. The i
woods were dry, and hy a little careful j
watching wt kept the blazes under some
sort of control. Towards dark a brisk
wind sprang up, and before 10 o’clock the I
•old forest wits a going off like artillery j
and musketry. I was on the lee side, ami !
as there were no back fires burning 1 had I
the prettiest view of the blaze that a inau |

just stood as far .hack as win necessary to
do and saw the flames spread. It, was I
worse than a pow der mill. T1A heat,even '

my (back on the blaze ahead of me, which 1

"So you are going to be married, girls,
lire you?” said Uncle Nahum. A little, sil
ver-haired man, with deep wrinkles
plowed in his parchment-like forehead,
and a suit of bright, old-fashioned blue
cloth, guyly garnished with brass buttons,
1 he looked grotesquely unlike_ the sur
roundings of that elegant suite of drawing
rooms In which he sat, like the fairy god
father in an enchanted palace.
"Yes, Uncle Nahum,” (Aid Nina, “we
are really going to be married—Eunice
and I. Will you come to the wedding?”
Uncle Nahum lifted his keen gray eyes
to Eunice’s face. She neither spoke nor
looked up. Evidently she had no inten
tion of confirming her sister’s cordial in
vitation.
“No, child, no,” said the old man, evi
dently a little disappointed; “I’d cut a
poor figure at your grand weddings. Only
I hope that you have chosen well.”
"There can he no doubt at nil about
that,” said Eunice, haughtily; “I am to
marry Mr. Lesderner. a broker, and Nina
is engaged to Mr. Falconer, a gentleman
of independent wealth.”
Audi s’pose .you’ll have lots of pres
entfl,” said Mr.
Dalton. “Silver and gold
aiid china fol de-rols, and goodness knows
what all. Well, well, I wish I had some
thing to send you that would be of use in
your grand way of living.”
“Your good wishes will be sufficient,
Uncle Nahum.” said Eunice rather stiffly.
“But I’ll tell you,” said the old man,
with a brightening lace, “what I have
got. Your Aunt Rebecca's receipt books
—that’s my wife, deaf and gone these
ten years—and there ain’t a better lot of
receipts, not in the whole state of Connec
ticut. You’d like that, girls, wouldn’t
J Eunice broke out into a peal of irresist
ible laughter, heedless of the hurt look
which gradually crept over the face of the
old man, hut Nina pressed her lips to his
wrinkled brow and stroked his hand softly
in hers.
“It’s very kind of you to think of it,
uncle, I’m sure,” said Nina, “and what
ever you send wo shall accept gratefully.
Here comes papa now to take you up to
Central Park in the carriage. So let me
go and get your hat.”
Uncle Nahum did not prolong liis visit
to the city beyond il day or two.
But a few days hud elapsed when tidings
came of the sudden death of the kind
old man.
“It’s very strange,’’said Matthew Dalton
discontentedly, when the legal statement
of li is brother’s monetery affairs was laid
before him. “I thought Nahum was worth
more money than that.”
“Wo can’t always judge hy appearances,
sir, you know,” said the lawyer.
“No,” said Mr. Dalton, coloring mid
looking somewhat easy, “you are quite
right there.”
Two little leather-bound receipt books
worn und greasy with age, and bearing
marks of frequent usage, were ouml in
Nahum Dalton’s stained pine desk, labeled I
respectively with the names of his two |
nieces, Eunice and Nina: “To be pre- |
seated upon their marriage.”
“Fiddlesticks!” said Eunice, disdain
fully, “I don’t want the vulgar old
tilings.”
“There,” said Nina, softly, “I will keep
ttiem both for Uncle Nahum’s sake.”
Ho, in spite of Eunice’s sarcasm, she put
them carefully away among her treasures.
“Who knows hut what 1 may want to
make the real election cake one of these
days?” she said laughingly.
The double wedding came off gorgeously
at the Dalton .mansion, but it proved to be
the lost glitter of the expiring torch of
wealth. The cuke, all glittering with its
sugared fairies and pictured orange
wreaths—the bridal bouquet—the very
band which discoursed sweet music to the
wedding guests—were obtained on credit,
and not one of the luckless tradespeople
was paid.
For the next day Matthew Dalton’s en
tire and total failure was ringing overall
i lie town, and with this was also involved
liu* ultimate vain of his son-in-law, Her
bert Lesderner.

FASHIONS IN HANDKERCHIEFS.
Those Made (if I.lnrn *ml Silk. Perorated with
Pictures .(lost In lloinund.
Handkerchiefs are how used gaily deco
rated with all sorts of designs—that is
gentlemen’s handkerchiefs. The designs
take in all phases of ives. Linen hand
kerchiefs arc now hemstitched and have
figures on them representing women in
the various positions of the ballet and
dressed in ballet costumes. These are for
the bald-headed brigade. For sporting
men Home of the best horses on the turf
are drawn, represented gaily decorated
round the borders with horse-slioes. stir
rups, whips, whifflutreeB and other pieces
of harness. For those who are more
particular about the neatness of
their dress, silk handkerchiefs are
most popular. Some of these
are very pretty. They are small and have
a border of flowers and stripes. Japanese
silk handkerchiefs are in great demand.
They are very soft and are decorated in
one corner. *The designs are all Japanese
and are in the quaint colors used by artists
of that nation. One very pre'.ty design
put on as if to certify to the genuineness
of tiie article, is two of the Japanese post
age stamps, painted, one in red and one in
green. The stamps at first sight look so
natural that one thinks they aro real and
only stuck on.

about me for tln> purpose of taking my

filing trunks ot trees stood out bate and
ghostly, ami as 1 looked aloft a few drops
of rain splashed in tit} face Later the
fio xu pour increased, and in ten minutes
the rain was coining down in torrents. I
fled from the blackened track of the tiro to
the cover of the wood at one side, and
from tv thicket saw. half with pleasure
half with regret, the tires burning dimmer
and at hist., sinking into it sullen stare,
which promised soon to disappear alto
gether if the deluge continued. While
thus straining my eyes to observe if possi-
tile if t here were any of my companions in
sight. I saw an object drop from one of the.
charred trees at s. me distance to my loft,
and heard it strike the ground with a
heavy thump. The wind had risen fresh
and strong from the southeast, - and l made
up mj’ mind that some of the burned limbs
were being shaken down. Afterwards,
however, I got to thinking of Coon, and 1
couldn’t get it out of my head that he
might have been the tiling that had drop
ped. The rain continued all night, and
hy daylight there were no fires in the vi-
<unity worth mentioning. At the earliest
eppor unity I stole across the burnt
stretch to the tree that l had been watch
ing, nnd there at its base, burned out of all
semblance to a human being almost, was
Hank Coon. I know who it was, lor right
by his side was a gold watch and chain,
half buried in the ashes. He hud climbed
that tree when overtaken suddenly by the
fire in the hope of sticking it out up there
and from all appearuuees he had roasted
as he sat in a crotch of the limbs. He
must have been dead long before he fell,
and I presume I had walked around there
with the dead man right over my head.
As the track of the fire was not over 400
feet wide at that point, we made up our
minds that he had either been asleep
when he found that it was on him and
rushed up to his death before he thought
of the danger he was running, or he
waited in some hiding place so Tong that
he only had time to climb the first ash
that he came to. However it was, that
was what happend to him, and it never
