CHAPTER I
TROUBLED HEARTS.
A night of Ft.vgiun darkne**.
Wind, ran. ami bellowing thnndsr, with
nlnioßt continuous plus of lightning.
It was a terrible night, and tbo iumntea
of Bog Tavern gathered more oloeely about
th roarin • li ne w.th ;m
--otber in low ton ok. an though awed by the
awful majesty of tbo storm.
It was late in Rummer, and tbo air wnn
cool without, warning people that frigid
days were ooming. Hog Tavern held but
four inmates on tbo cv< uing iu question—
the proprietor, Lucius Swuvne. bis good
wife Susan, a son Jeremiah, and niece Iva.
The latter was a pretty girl of sixteen,
w ith an abuudmee of raven curls, and eyes
black and lustrous. Blender and willowy as
tho hickory sapling 4 that grow in the edge
of tho swamp at tho foot of tho long hill
whose summit was surmounted by Hog
Tavern, lva was one to attract more tbau
a parsing glance.
The stage had been gone an hour.
The evening was swiftly advancing, and
Lucius Swayno began to think of closing
up for the night.
“No more customers to-night,” ho said,
ns he yawned aiul stre tolled his he ivy limbs.
“As if we had bad any customers,”
gurgled Susan Swayno. “Letter shut up
and go to bed, Lucius.”
“I mean to.”
Ho rose to carry bis resolution into exe
cution, when there came the sound of
wheels on the gravel without, hoard through
a lull in the storm.
“Zounds!” exclaimed tho old tavern
keeper; “if someone isn’t outside, then
I’m a liar. ”
He went behind the low bar and lifted a
lantern; tbs he proceeded to light with a
brand from the tire.
Before be could gain tho door, however,
it opened, a gust of wind swept in, and tho
light was extinguished instantly,
“Confound the luck!”
The door was forcibly pressed to, and in
tho glow of the firelight a tall form was re
vealed.
“Is this Bog Tavern?"
“I reckon it be, stranger," answered the
landlord of the wayside inn. “Can I do
anything for you? Step up hero and take
a seat "
“My friend and his team are outside, and
it isn’t pleasant '*
“Of course not. Jerry will attend the
animals. Sit up to the tire; you must have
had a beastly time in this storm.”
The traveler accepted the seat, and was
soon steaming from head to foot.
Growling at hi-, hard luck, Jerry accepted
the lantern that his father had succeeded
in lighting at last, and. drawing on a great
coat and slouched hat, went at once out
side.
The lamps were again lit, and tho front
room of the old tavern glowed pleasantly.
A cloud of steam nearly hid the stranger
from view, but enough was seen to reveal
the fact that he was a man past the prime
of life, with gray hair, and long beard
white as the driven snow.
A little later Jerry, the hnlking sou, re
turned, followed by another traveler, a
young man with brown hair, keen bright
eyes, aud pleasant expression of counte
nance.
*A nasty evening, sir."
“A bit rough, to bo sure.” said the younger
traveler as ho removed his out r coat and
doffed his hat, standing forth a man of me
dium size, plainly dressed, evidently a citi
zen in humble circumstances.
The sunken eyes of Lucius Swayne re
garded the face of the younger traveler fix
edly.
Then he started, and plucked at his board
In a nervous manner.
A little later the tavern-koeper called his
wife aside to the next room, and regarded
her for some moments in solemn silence.
“Susan, there’s goiu’ to be trouble.”
“How? I don’t understand, Lucius.”
“Did you notice the young fellow’s face?"
“Yes; it was handsome, and the fellow
seems to be a gentleman. ’Tain’t often
Bog Tavern gits such company.”
The heavy lip of Susan’s husband trem
bled, and the yellow teeth gleamed beyond
“You did not notice it, then. ”
“Notice it?
“Confound it, Sue, you’re asleep to
night,” growled the tavern-keeper. “We’ve
•a enemy in th<* house, and I’m afraid
thar’s trouble ahead.”
“Don’t beat about in that style, old man.
Tell me what you're drivin’ at, will you?”
“Simply this—that youngster wears the
face of Grant Thorurift.”
“Grant Thorurift!
The sound of that name seemed to stag
ger the woman. She took a step back
ward, and clutched the back of a chair with
both handn, while the sallow complexion
deepened into a pallor that was sickening.
“That’s what 1 said, madam,” and some
thing like a sneer curled the man’s lip.
“What nonsense!” finally uttered the
woman, gathmi g count m with reflection.
“That face was long ago beneath the sod.
Thin man is young; that one would bo six
ty at least had he Jived until now.
“True as gospel, Sue; but there was a
nephew '
“Who knows nothing. Fourteen years
and more has covered all; don’t be a fool,
Lucius. ”
At this moment Iva entered the room
with tfio announcement tb it the travelers
wished refreshmeni:.
tl At sm-li an hour," muttered Mrs.
Swayne; but bhe went about projHiring a
meal all the same, assisted by her niece,
while her lord and master went back to the
front room.
He found Jerry and the young man en
gaged iu pleasant converse.
The old man had east off his outer gar
ments, and leaned agaiu-.t the wall with hi?
eye* closed, his chan ti : 1 back.
One glance iuto ike thin nice, and thon
Lucius Swayne felt a dizzy horror stealing
over him, for the time paralyzing every
nerve in his body.
Though thin and changed, that face was
not now to tho landlord of Bog Tavern.
Back into the vista of the ] i t went the
thoughts of tho stout old tavern-keeper.
One scene was plainly revealed.
It was another night of storm and dark
ness such as the present, and tho glare of
the lightning revealed an awiul, never-to
be-forgotten scene.
Lucius Swayne could scarcely repress a
cry us h<‘ ci*> -<• I 1!j * i in and laid his
hand on the sliouh : ■ . tho o l tra\eler.
The man opened his yen with a s art.
“Ah, it is Mr. : v.a no. You Liit.csl mo,
ir."
Bending low, tho tavern-keeper whis
pered:
“What aro you doing here, Foster Won
del?”
If the tavern-keeper had looked to see
the old man start and turn palo, ho met
with d'^appointment.
A smile instead came to the face of the
old traveler.
“A mistake, sir,” ho said, in a gentle
voice. “I am Samuc-l F • lam r,r
neying West to m. ■ t my s n, who lias
been prospecting in i; • mount;-, r. - . Per
haps you hive heard of him, sir? Clark
Fred on ”
“No,” injected Swayne, in a disappointed
tone. “I did make a mistake, eu’dy. B< g
pardon, Mr. Fredon; and the young feller
“Wallis Wager, a friend who agreed to
see me through to the mountains. We
hired the team at 1. u,\s li nch, and will
leave it at the next town. This storm, I
fear, will keep us Lack a spell, for there D
a flood along the eivck.s, I expect. ”
“You’ve hit it.” exclaimed the tavern
keeper. “Gravel Bun ’ . be fil l by mornin’,
and there’ll be no fordin’ of it; them os
wants to get through had tetter go on to
night. ”
“Would you advise a man to continue on
Injjuch a storm?” smiled Mr. Fredon.
“No, ef they ain’t in a hurry; but et they
k be a storm like this on htn t to stop ’em.”
I Well, tbe truth is I m not in a partieu
wr hurry," returned the old traveler. "It'
well enough to stop along and seo tho
country, you know. I suppose there’s no
bonanza mines in this region!”
"No," with a chilling laugh. "Bog Tavern
may stand on silvor mine, but X reekm
not. You won't go on to-night?"
"No."
The old tmvo’er relapsed into dream
land, with closed eyos, onoe more. This
seemod to indicate that he oared for nc
more conversation theu.
A little later Mrs. Bwayne called tho be
latod travelers to supper.
Boon after tho evening meal the two trav
elers retired. They were shown to a
double room at the top of the house, close
under the eaves.
Bidding his guests good-night, Lucius
Swnvne repaired below.
The storm hid nbatod somewhat, and
Lucius sought his wife for a little private
talk the moment lva and her cousin had
retired. There wus a tioubled look on the
face of the tavern-keeper.
“Busan, 1 never received such a shock in
my life,"
“Over the young man?"
“No, over iho old one."
"Tho old fellow? I'm sure I thought him
as gentle and becomin' an old gent unlever
waited < n at tab’o."
"That may be true, but he’s a schemer
all tbo mime," asserted tbo troubled land
lord. “X am not so sure about the young
i hap, but 1 do know that tho old one is
worth more to you 'u me, Susan, dead than
ilivel”
CHAPTER IL
▲ scene of terror.
Busan Swayno rogurded her husband in
silent bewilderment. But a short time be
fore he had asserted that tho younger trav
eler resembled one for many years dead,
and now the tavern-keeper was speaking in
a strango and staitling manner regarding the
man who called himself Bamuel Fredon.
“Hush, Lucius, you must be out in the
upper story." utterel Mrs. Swavne, at
length. “Why will you bring up ugly
pictures to bother us? I am sure 1 had
forgotten ail about tho past, when you re
called it by your h aggard suspicious to
night; it is positively awful.”
“You will soon learn of something more
awful than mere suspicions." growled the
heavy-visngod landlord. “One of them
fellers must die if we don’t wish to look a
hemp rope ut of countenance. ’’
“Goodness alive! whut do you mean?"
cried tho woman, in a shuddering voice.
“I mean that Foster Wondel'sup yonder."
“Foster Wondell No, no; tint is abso
lute nonsense. ”
A swift pallor swept across tho woman's
face, and she trembled like a reed in the
storm as her sunken black eyes fixed them
selves on the countenance of her husband.
Evidently she was now at least deeply
moved.
A smile touched bis lips.
“At last you realize something," ho said
"Maybe you realize, too, that wove got to
do something?”
“What can we do?" in a hopeless tone.
“Put tho old fellow out of tho world.
Once I thought little of taking human life
when it was necessary. ”
Again tho woman shuddered.
“I—X can’t believe it’s necessary to take !
a human life,” she articulated, huskily.
“You know you promised me that no other I
crime should stain our lives, I ”
“Don't be a fool, Sue. Necessity knows
no law. That mans under our roof, and
bears an assumed name; that is sufficient
to convince mo that ho is here for a pur
pose—you know what that purpo e is.
Shall wo permit him towintbegtmo at
this late day?"
IJo bent upon her a keen, questioning
gaz3 that she co?i)d not mistake. She had
taken the first false step years befor , and
now, though cringing and shuddering at
the thought, Susan Swayno could but con-
Bi nt to going still deeper into tho stream of
guilt.
‘‘lt must he as you say, Lucius," she
finally articulated.
‘Tin gad to see you sensible," ho said,
and th n turned, but a detaining hand
touched his shoulder.
“Not yet—wait,” she said, slowly.
He regarded her with curious impntieuoe.
"‘Don t, for the sake of heaven, make u
mistake, Lucius.”
“I am not a fool.”
“But wise men mnke mistakes, Lucius.
It is possible that this man is not Foster
Won del."
“I know ho is.”
That settled it
After that the woman made no remon
strance, but sink to a low wood chair aud
averted her face.
And no wonder.
There was a look on tbo heavy, harsh
countenance of her husband that was like
a knife to the breast of the woman he
called wife. Ah! she know him of old,
and well understood the relentless nature
that lurked under his stolid outward aspect.
Slowly he walked from the presence of
his wife, and was roou in the dimly lighted
bar-room, fumbling behind the greasy pine
counter. In a little time became forth
and sheathed a glittering object in his am
ple sleeve.
The look on his countenance was full oi
deeper earnestness, nnd shadowed with the
intensity of a wicked purpose.
The storm again roared outside, as
though taking anew force suddenly, per
haps to aid tho vile innkeeper in tho per
petration of his medi afced crime.
“Susan is squeamish,"muttered the man,
as he stood for a moment at the foot of the
stairs leading to tho room above aud list
ened to the roar of the storm.
“Foster Wondel, you made the bitterest
mistake of your life when you vontnreo
into the Silver Hills. I know what you aifl
here for, but you shall not succeed. 1 will
thwart you hero and now, and send you tc
loin Thorurift”
Again the wind shook the rickety cld
house and rattled the sashes in their com
ments. The chamber door stood aiar. and
tne Heavy form of Lucius Swayne disap
peared within the narrow stairway.
lie was soon treading upwurd toward the
ro m occupied by the sleeping travelers.
Scarcely had ho disappeared when an
other form crossed the floor of the front
room and halted at the open stairway door
—the form of a man who had been watch
ing the movements of the landlord with a
pair of wonderfully keen eyes.
Swayne passed up the creaking stair, the
sound completely deadened by the roar and
tush of the storm without.
There were two rooms overhead, each
Opening from a narrow landing.
The midnight prowler paused aud list
ened at the door of the larger room.
“I was a fool for not separating thorn.” ho
muttered. "It may boas well to put both
out of the way. If I’m discovered, how
ever, the task may not prove so easy."
After a few moments listening at tho
keyhole Swayne lifted the latch; at tho
same moment a tremendous crash of thun
der nhook the bonne.
The door moved to h s touch, und
Swayne stood in tho “guest-chamber.”
At the far side were two windows.
A gust of wind assured tho prowler that
one or both of these windows woie open, a
fact that puzzled him not a little. There
was a touch of damp outer air upon his
chi ek, and the draught was chill and un
pleasant.
What did it mean?
Lucius Swav e waited for a flash of
heaven’s electricity to show him th .* condi
tion of things in tho loom. It came soon
"eh and revealed a starll nir sight, one
tnai caused tne would-be assassin to reel
back in deepest alarm.
Theredglo v filled tho room, and re
vealed tho beds and their occupants.
A man bent over one of tho beds, aud
hold aloft a bloody, gleaming knife!
The man's back was turned toward
Swayne, and ho was unable to recognize
him under the brief flash of light. He had
s n sufficient to send a startled thrill
through ids whole being, however.
Another midnight assassin was in .th
i house besides himself.
this knowledge came to him like a burst
of inspiration.
Drawing his own weapon, Swayne waited
the next flash. With dilating eyes and short
gasps for breath.
lie wu terrified, and did not attempt to
conceal tho truth from himself.
Again a flash!
Mo longer bent tho form of the assassiu
over his victim. Across tne floor to the
window he had moved. He was looking
back now. his face plainly revealed, on<
arm extended with tne dripping kmf<
clutched in his fingers -the face and four
of the young traveler, Wallis Wager!
“Mu.d rer!”
.With this cry, uttered in a lionise voice,
Lucius Swayne moved forward.
At this same ir.stnut a third pair of cyet
looked in through the open door upon tin
scene, the eyes of the man who had followec
the innkeeper from the room below.
as Lucius ttwivne advanced one step, •
riuging clang till .<1 Ins curs, the bngh'
gleam went out in darkness; a boom oi
tnuudor rumbled along tho skies, and al
ienee, save for tho ruin and wind, held
■way.
The next moment wes an awful one to
the innkeeper. Ten thousand horrors
filled his brain. When the next gleam of
lightning came ho expected tho assassin to
leap upon bin, ib I hie own wt ip#a v. i •
stoutly clinched and brought forward for
instant use.
It was not needed.
When Iho glean of li htning came it
showed an open window, tin* r of of a drip

and the glonin if a kuife on the t!oor in tho

The assassin had eirttpcd.
Tho innkeeper stoo 1 rooted to tho flooi
like one turned to i tono. In tins position
he remained until another flush from cloud
laud roused him to a -tin;'.
His enemy had been x-moved from his
path by the hand of another,
Such good luck had not often fallen to
the lot of Lucius S\va>ue. it seemed too
good to bo true; it n i lit not b>- tin *; in
vesligition alone could tel'.
Ho turned and rushed swiftly from tho
room.
Half way down the stairs ho collided with
tho third night-prowler; there was a terri

a mighty crash to the floor at the foot of tho
stairs.
Partly stunnod,and quit •terrified, Luc us

BEECHER DIES.
THE Olt EAT PREACH Ell QVIETI.Y
PASSES AWAY.
The I.HMt Hoencs— Ilenrlfelt Regret—Loiter*
o I Condole nee, Ac.
Henry Ward Beecher died at his home
in Brooklyn, N. Y., Tuesday morning at
9 o’clock. He began to sink slowly after
midnight, and the watchcrsat his bedside
soon saw that tho end was near. Mr.
Beecher passed quietly away while asleep.
He never recovered consciousness after
paralysis stupifled his mind.
He died iu the presence of his family.
Present ut the bedside were Col. 11.
Beecher, his wife, his daughters Hattie \
and Bessie, and John Henry Ward
Beecher, Miss Edith Beecher, W. C.
Beecher and wife, Uev. Samuel Scoville,
Mrs. Scoville, eldest daughter of Uev.
Henry Ward Beecher; Miss Scoville,who j
has just come from the Pacific slope; Mi-s :
Bullard, Rev. S. B. Halliday and wife, ;
Deacon S V. White, E A. Scacornb, one I
of the trustees of Plymouth church, and
Major J. B. Pond. In accordance with j
the wish of Mr. Beecher no crape was !
found on the door, but, instead, a wreath
of beautiful flowers hung over the bell j
knob.
This bulletin was issued: “The ser
vices at the house will be confined abso
lutely to relatives,without any exception,
it being manifest that any selection out
side the circle would be impossible, the
being too small to hold even a smaM por
tion of his nearest friends.”
The interment will be in Greenwood
cemetery. Iu accordance with an agree
ment made years ago between Mr.
Beecher and I)r. Hall that whoever died
first the other should officiate at the fu
neral, Dr. C. C. Hall will perform the
ceremony.
Dr. Searle has prepared the following
statement: “Mr. Beecher failed decidedly
after 3 a. m. His breath was more
labored and slow, and his pulse gradu
ally grew weaker. The family was
aroused about 4, and all gathered around
his bedside. It soon became evident,
however, that immediate dissolution
was not to be looked for. It stole
on him steadily and stealthily. It
was not till 8:30 that he could be said to
be dying. At 9 bis pulse became feeble,
and flickering, but it remained percepti
ble until a few minutes before breathing
ceased This occurred at 9:30. There
was no struggle; ho breathed his last
quietly.”
The news of Mr. Beecher’s death
spread very quickly to all parts of the
city, and Brooklyn may be said to be a
city of mourning. Even those who did
not concur with him, had no hesitation
in expressing their deep regret at his
death. Asa mark of respect to his mem
ory, the flags on public buildings were
placed at half mast, and Mayor Whitney
had the city hall bell tolled half an hour,
commencing at ten this morning. At
the same time boys were selling their
extras on the street, announcing the death
of the great divine.
Quincy Ward, the sculptor, is expected
to take a cast of his face, for a statue al-
ready provided for by his staunch and ;
old friend, H, W. Sage, of Itliica. The
statue will ornament Prospect Park,
Brooklyn.
Telegrams of inquiry and condolence
were sent to the house ou Hicks street
during the past few days by the following,
among otbev*; Dr. Parker, of the City of i
Temple, London; Miss Ellen Terry, Lou
don; George William Curtis, Rev. Lyman
Bramstoker, 11. W. Sage, Henry R. Har
ris, Francis Murphy and Clinton B. Fisk.
The following is a telegram sent to Mrs.
Beecher by President Cleveland :
“Executive Mansion, Washington,
D. C , March 8. —Mrs. Henry Ward
Beecher: Accept my heartfelt sympathy
in this hour of your bereavement, with
the hope that comfort may be vouchsafed
from tho heavenly source you know so
well. “Grover Cleveland.”
IRISH SYMPATHY.
The aldermen of Brooklyn held a special
meeting Tuesday and passed resolutions
providing for draping the city btnidings
and closing the public offices on the day
of the funeral. The municipal council
of the Irish National League met and
unanimously adopted resolution of regret.

that he is one of the heirs to a fortune
of $225,000, left by a cousin in Australia,
William Tutge. The other heirs are a

gamekeeper for Emperor William at
Hartzburg, Germany, and educated with
his two sons. Mr. Tutge lias taken this
way of showing his gratitude. The
Pittsburg Heiser was the private dispatch
carrier and personal attendant of Presi
dent Lincoln during the late war. He
also served in the Franco-Prussian war
and hail two horses shot dead under him
at Gravelotte. Since living in Pittsburg
Heiser has been attacked w ith a lung
complaint and he became so poor that he
was compelled to pawn a gold watch pro

was exposed over the bow of the 9hip
was found at the end of ten days to be
absolutely uncontaminated. Here is an
opening for a thoroughly good sys'em of
ventilation.
Hunting Sen Otters in Alaska.
Tho ambition of the young Aleut is to
become a great sea-otter hunter, and all
liis energies are bent in perfecting him
self in the various arts of his profession.
Where there is no choice, it is wonderful
to observe how eagerly the young man
looks forward to the time when his turn
shall come to go out with the hunters
after the shy animals. Every attention
is paid to the details of the equipment of
the hunting party, and when the storms
of winter have sufficiently abated to al
low the party to embark in their little
bidarkas, they sally forth singly or in
pairs to meet in some secluded spot, far
removed from any settlement, which
experience has proved to be a likely
place to find their quarry. Arriving at
their rendezvous the party land* and
makes a camp. No fires are lighted, nor
anything done in the w T ay of making
shelter for themselves, which might
frighten the wary otter. Tho place
usually selected for a camp is in some
secluded bay of the islands, and when
all the boats have arrived they cruise
around the bay and patiently watch the
smooth surface of the water for the
black, glistening head of their game.
Sometimes weeks are spent in this way
without a sign of an otter, but the Aleut
has the knack of waiting patiently down
about as fine as any person on earth.
When nil otter is sighted the occupant
of the boat which is nearest the animal
holds up his paddle, the rest of the party
immediately take their places so as to
form an immense semi-circle, with its
peri hcry seaward and the shore-line
forming "its chord. This being completed
and the escape of the otter cut off, the
hunter who tir-t saw the animal cautious
ly approaches the spot where be is ex
pected to rise, and when near enough
throws a short spear, with unerring aim,
into its body the moment the animal
comes in sight. The spear is so made
that the head becomes loosened from
the staff upon striking an object, but is
still attached to it : y a long line of sinew.
The otter immediately dives and prob
ably takes the entire spear down out of
sight, but the natives by long experience
know the direction he will pursue and
quickly paddle to the spot When the
animal rises for breath another spear is
plunged into him. This goe> on until
loss of blood and strength compels him to
cease his struggles. V boat is then
brought alongside and he is dispatched,
taken on shore and skinned, or,if too far
away from land, this work is accom
plished in the boat itself.— S in Fran wo

Logan's Swarthy Complexion.
‘•lt is a physiological fact,” says Dr.
Koberts, “that the first child by a second
marriage often resembles the, deceased
wife or husband to an extraordinary de
gree. General Logan's case is the most
wonderful illustration of this fact I ever
heard of. The General s father, Pr. Lo
gan, was rather dark, but not swarthy,
while his mother was blue-eyed and fair
haired. '. et, General Logan, strange as
it may seem, inherited the Indian fea
tures and complexion of Dr. Logau s
half-breed wife, who and e l several years
previously. 'I he that Mrs. I ogau was
beautiful, ns those half-breed women
often are. and was comparatively fair,
mu li fairer, indeed, than her daughter,
General I ogan’s half s ster, or than the
General himself The grandchildren of

FIUBTINU A BANK.
A Halloa Mu Who Had l.iliaV Pa a with
Nllvrr llollnri.
An amusing encounter between on# of
the bonks and a prominent business
man la being told at tho clubs with sums
unction, Mr X., tho gentleman in
question, was culled from homo on busi
ness nnd left with his clerk a blank
cheek for any contingencies which had
not been provided for. During his
absence a messenger from the bank ap
peared with a draft, and although offer
ed tho chock declined to rocoivo any
thing hut tho money. Tho matte!
caused tho rlcrk some inconvcnienco,
and his employer, on his return, was
deeply indignant at tho affair. Ht
waited a few days until another drnft
came through tho same bank, whon he
went to the Sub Treasury, procured tho
amount duo in silver dollars and turned
the coin over to the lmn . Soon another
draft came along, this tiino for f 15,000.
This was also paid in silver dollars, the
bank being pretty xvoll tilled up with
the sacks of specie. When tho third
draft was duo Mr X. applied to the
Sub Treasury for tho umount in silver
nnd was refused. He was naturally in-
dignant, perceiving plainly enough that
t >iu refusal was instigated by the presi
dent of tho bank, nnd ho protested that,
as an officer of tho Goverment, the Sub-
Treasurer had no right to refuso to sell
him as many silver dollars as he wished
to buy at any time. Tho refusal was
persisted in, however, and Mr X. im
mediately sent a complaint to Secretary
Manning, nt Washington, the answer to
which arrived in duo course of time,
stating that ’he action of tho Sub-Treas
urer xvas illegal and unauthorized. In
the meantime, as the draft of course had
to be paid at once, Mr. X. had gone to
different banks, collected the amount of
silver that he wanted, piling it up
loose in cotton baskets lie ascertained
that lie was not obliged to take tbo
money himself to tho bank, and when
the messenger appeared with the draft
he presented lnm with the immense pile
of silver, remarking that as he had not
beer, able to procure tho money from
the Sub-Tre&surv in sealed an stamped
sacks, lie supposed it would have to be
counted
‘ But bow am I to carry all that,” tho
mes enger cried in dismay.
Mr. X replied that lie really could not
say, and that while a hack might servo
his visitor's turn, he really did not regard
the matter ns any affair of his. Tho
messenger had a hack called, and with
assistance got his precious baskets to
the sidewalk.
“What is all that?” demanded the
backman, eyeing the heavy baskets.
“Why that's silver.
“Do you take me for an expressman,”
asked the driver. “Hi, there, get upl”
and away he drove, leaving tbo unfortu
nate young man in a xvorso dilemma
than ever.
The messenger managed, however, to
get the specie to the bank, where it was
presumably counted; and in due time
still another draft upon Mr. X. camo to
delight the officers < f the bank. Once
more Mr. presented himself at the Sub-
Treasury, and once more, despite Secre
tary Manning s letter, his demand for
silver was refused. This time he sent a
telegram to Washington and with great
promptness there came back n dispatch
peremptorily ordering the delivery of
the dollars. ’ The money was paid to the
bank, and feeling by this time a little
weary of the affair, and probably satis
fied that he had amply revenged the
discourtesy shown to him in the original
transaction, Mr X. let the matter drop
here, after notifying all ids corrcspon
dents that he did not wish to receive
any paper through the offending bank.
The Scene of the Evictions.
The Parish of Glenbeigh lies faraway
down iu the extreme south of the king
dom of Kerry. Ireland. It is as de o
lato a spot as eau no found on a 1 the
western coast The nearest town is
Castleisland, notorious as the heart and
centre of the most disaffected district
in Ireland. To reach it from Killarnsy
a long journey across country of twenty
miles must be taken, and from Tralee
the distance is only five miles less The
village, which is the scene of the present
evictions, lies in a ravine among the
hills, situated some height above the
sea, in a bleak, e posed situation. For
tho tourist in search of a picturesque
wilderness, the locality is attractive
enough, and there is plenty of shooting
on the hills to satisfy the sportsman, but
for the husbandman it is as undesirable
location as could be well imagined.
Like many hundred thousand acres of
land in the West of Ireland, it is a waste
of hog and rock. But for the constant
labor of tho cottiers who are nestled
among the boulders it would in a very
few years rclapso into a waste which
might afford pasturage for snipo, but
for nothing else.

sumed, only to be broken by her timid
whisper:
“Gus, dearest, I want to ask a ques

“Go on; ask me anything— anythin'}!”
“Well, Gussie, if I should take one of
my hands away to wipe mv nose, you

Spring Medicine
Everybody needs and should take a good spring
medicine, for two reasons :
Ist. The body is now more susceptible to benefit

and sirength, before tho prostrating effects of warm
weather are felt.

Too Much for the Judge.
A nico little boy, roared in the Intel-
Icctual and heterodox atmosphere of Bos
ton, happened to boa witness in a ease
iu Cinclnuali, and the quo,tion arose as
to liis being old enough to understand
tbo nature of an oatb, so tho Judge in
vestigated him: , „ ...
“Well, Woodall," ho said kiudly, “do
you know where hail little boys will go
xvhen they die *"
“No, sir,” replied tho boy with con
fidence. . ,
“Goodness gracious!” exclaimed tho
Judge, in shocked surprise; “don't you
know they xvilt go to hell?”
“No, sir; do you?”
“Of course I do,”
‘ How do you know it?”
“Theßihle says so."
“Is it true?”
“Certainly it is.”
“Can you prove it?' 1
“No, not positively; but we take it on
faith," exclaimed the Judge.
“Do you accept that kind of testimony
in this court?" inquired tho boy, cooly.
But tho Judge didn’t answer; lie held
up his hands nnd begged tho lawyers to
take the witness.
She Surely Would.

me badly.”
“I sometimes wish I had eaten mine;
but she’s too tough noxv.”
“If she xvas cut off the same piece as

De ir Sir
I was taken with a very
severe cold last Spring,
and tried every euro xvo
had in tho store, and could
get no help.
1 hud o;r village doctor
prescribe for me, but kept
getting worse. I saxv an
other physiciau from Port
Jervis, N. Y., and ho told
me he used l iso’s ( urc for
Consumption in his prac
tice.
I bought a bottle, aud
before Iliad taken all of it
there wus a change for tho
better. Then 1 got ray em
ployer to order a quantity
of the medicine and keep
it in stock. I took one
more bottle, and my Cough
was cured.
Respectfully,
Fuahk M< Kici.vy.
