CHAPTER 111.
IN TBi: DEATH CHAMBER.
A hand clutched the luukeej*er' throat
*nd then • d©H|) rule struggle endued. At
flrst Swayne imagined that he was in the
hands of the assassin who hid eHcapi-d
from the room above.
M Yon scoundrel’” biased Swayne.
But the inan, who proved to b a stout
fellow, only clung the closer an instant,
then, without a word, tore himself loos,
from he hands of his a^uiluM.
he succeeded in choking the innkeeper
into quietude aud then slipped away in the
darkness.
The noise had roused the innkeeper'?
wife, who now appeared uphu the scone, ,
to discover her husbaud just struggling to j
his ieet.
“lufernal powers! why didu’t you corue
iooner?” sn red Lucius Bwayno, the mo
ment he cou*d command his v ice to apeak.
“Did you call me? What has happen d?
The woman's face wui w hile, h scared
look in her eyes, and a quaver in her voice
She set the lamp she carri* and down upon
the bar aud regarded Bwayne dum ly.
“Call you! Madam, you knew what
happening ”
He checked himself sudden'.v as his ear
can. lit the sound of steps. The do> r o
an adjoining room opened, aud the Mol t
face of Jerry Swayne peered in.
“Whatover's all this racket about?” the
young man demanded, in a sullen voi e
"One wou and think the ruin and thunder
made n use enough without your hoping
the rumpus. Anybodv kdled, I \vr> der.'
Husl and and wife winced ut this. It was
a random remark, yet it Mru k home.
“Bring your light. Jerry, said Swayne,
at length. "I'm of the opinion tint some
thing dreadful has happened up s airs,
heard a no se up that way. and someone
gave me a big lick over the eye.”
“Was you up there'"
A queer look sho; from the small eyes of
Jerrv a- he put th s question.
* Bring along the light, and I wi 1 explain
afterward." growled th innkeeper.
The wind roared and the ightning
flashed, yet it was evident, from the occa
sional and less powerful gusts < f wa er
and wind, that the butt of the storm had
passed.
Up the creaking stairs went the inn
keeper, his son. and wife.
Jerry carried the lamp.
A gust of wind nearly extinguished it a
the trio entered the guest chamber, and
Luc.us Swayne at once crossed the floor
and closed the window, when the light
gleamed, tilli g the chamber with a steady
though not brilliant light.
There was blood on the floor near one of
the beds, and the dripping weapon of death
still lay w here it had been flung by the as
sassin.
The scene was enough to thrill th#
stoutest heart
Susan Swayne shu lclered, but Jerry and
his father were cool ns ice. No ray of sur
prise or horror touched the face of the stolid
son—nothing seemed to surprise him.
"Wal, I vow, there s been bloody work
here,” remarked Jerry, ns he stood over ono
of the low 6liaw beds and flashed the light
of his lantern into the ghastly face of the
dead.
A brief examination revealed the truth.
The elder traveler had been murdered.
There was a knife-wound in his heart,
aud the weapon that had been used to per
petrate the horriblo deed lay ou the floor,
wet with the blood of its victim.
Lucius Swayne stood over the dead and
gazed long and earnestly into the aged
face. At length he turned to his son and
6aid:
“Leave me alone for a little, Jerry.”
“Fur wnat "
“It doesn’t matter to you,” stern’y inter
rupted the old man. “I know my duty in
this case, and mean to perform it. The
murderer lias made his escape, but we
know who th feller is, and to-morrow the
officers wi 1 take his triil.”
Without g ancing toward ei h“r parent,
Jerry Swayne placed the lamp in the hand
of his lather, and shuttled from the room
and down the stairs.
At the bottom he paused and looked back,
in the darkness. His ear caught the cloo
ing of a door and the grating of a key in
the lock.
“Put on the bo’ts an’ bars, dad but you
can’t fool me. I have got an inklin’ of
what’s goin’ on, and I’ll show y* that some
body elso's up to snuff bu-ides you n
main.”
Left alone wilh lrs wife, Lucius Swayne
ftt once closed and locked the door after h s
sou, then 1 astily crossed the room and ex
am lied the second bed. Ho was not di-
in finding; that it find not been
occupied. There w s a dent in the outer
covering tl at would indicate that tbe
younger guest had laid down in his clothes.
All this indicated a purpose to the keen
percept.oos of the innkeeper.
He turned about and regarded his wife.
There was a questioning look in her eyes.
“Don’t stand there gaping, hue,” utteied
tbe b uud man. “I didn t have a tliiLg to
do with kil.iug fke old chip.”
"Lucius, is this true? ’
Ho turned urnl pointed to the empty bed,
and growled:
“He did it. Ano'her band set us free,
and 1 atu free fio.n bood gui tiness. ”
Ah! Lucius bw.iyue, th.it argument is
not good in your case, and in your inmost
soul you realize it. You had murder in
your heart, and, simply because late saved
you from the act which you now rejoice
over, you cannot c aim the mercy of the
court. Your own soul condemns you.
“Heaven be praised!’’fervently ejaculated
the woman.
She s emed to have more compunctions
of couscieuce than her husband.
Perhaps she did not stop to consider how
much better her husband was on account
of someone stepping In and commi ting u
hideous crime iu advance, saving him the
ttciud deed on y for the reason that he
moved to do the work a little earlier in the
night.
“Not a word to any one of what was
meditated. Sue,” said the innkeeper, sternly,
“Of course n t,”
Mrs. Hwayne was becoming calm once
more. Bateiy and happiness were still
betore her.
Lucius Swayne went about examining
the effects of the dead mau. A wallet con
taining a number of bauk notes came into
the hand of the searcher. It contained
papers, too, th it brought an eager joy to
the eyes of the villainous innkeeper.
“There is no mistake. Sue; this man is
aur enemy. Foster Wond 1.”
\> nat proof nave you?"
“These papers—the min’s countenace.”
“It has been so many ye irs since I looked
upon Foster Wondel, it would be impossi
ble for mo to recogui e him," returned the
woman. “He called himself by another
name. Why should he do that?”
"For a purpose of course,” s.iid Swayne.
“lam more puzzled to know why this
man’s compauiou should murder him."
“That is a puzzle. They seemed on such
good terms, \7hut Will you do about it,
Lucius?’’
“House the county and see to it that the
nephew of Grunt Thorn rift is captured apd
punished for this mu der. It is an asy
way out of the dittiou.ty, and will be jus
tice, too."
As if the innkeeper were anxious about
me. and I feel completely upset. To-mor
row may b ing light; let us wait.”
Securing the long wallet, with its va u
able conte ts, Lucius Swayne stood up
right and gazed thoughtfully about h.iu.
There was aa air of solemnity about the
dea’.h-ch rnber Uiat impressed him un
pleasantly.
The umfe still lay wlpro it had fallen.
Swyne now secured the bloody weapon
and examined it close y. It proved to be
a clasp Kn.se, with a narrow, long blade, a

CHAPTER IV.
m FINDS A I.ETTEB.
To say that Lucius Swayne was startled
would be putting it very un illy indeed.
ills wife lay in a dead f dut ou tbe floor.
She bid glared at th* window as though
irightom dat some terrible object. What
did it mean?
At thi- moment a rap on th* dooi
brought the alarmed innkeeper to hit
cense- fully. A low voice cubed bis name.
It was Ivu.
“Don’t come in, Iva. A terrible thing
his happened your aunt has fainted and
vou lead th • wav with the lamp, while 1
bear her to the bed-room below,"
li< at • m e placed the lamp in tbe girl’s
band, then returned lo the side of his wife,
hen din he mined her in his stroug arms
iud at o ce moved from the room, follow
ing Ivu down the creaking stairs to the big
bed-room where the elder people were
wont to deep.
The lei had not been occupied. Iva
noted this fact and wondered.
Depo iung his burden, the innkeepet
•nil
“Bring her out as quick as possible, Ivu.
I have other duties to perform.”
He was about to turn awav, when the
hand of his niece touched and clung to his
arm. He looked into a pale, questioning
lace as he turned about.
“Uncle Lucius, what has happtned?"
"Vat”
“Why is it that not a member of this
hou ebo and has sought sleep to-night? Ido
uot understand it. ”
1 did not know that such was the case.
Haven t you been abed? -
“No. 1 could not for some weird,
bauu.ing th u.hts burned in my br.iiu. 1
heard Jerry pacing his room, and it tems
th it you and aunt did not retiie. for the bed
has not been o, cupied; 1 cannot under
st nd it."
“No.'*"
A frown mantled the btow of the old
innkeeper. He had a stolid look gener
ally. and ofttimes s, oke in a way that indi
cated long contact with the under strata of
socie y. Vet. Lu ius Swayne was not a
boor by nature, ami be had been fairly
educated. Him wife was less refined, for
educational privileges were meager iu
deed in tin* region often designated as the
“Silver Hills.”
"Attend Susan, girl. I will explain later.
On no condition are you to go upstairs.
Then he turned and left her.
Iva tried to invite a tender feeling for
ber aunt into her heart, but it was almost
a hopeless effort. Her life at L’og laveru
had not been calculated to awaken the
aff< ctions even of the warmest natuic. At
s xteeu, the g rl was beginning to realize
t at there was another wor.d outside of
this; better and mure elevating, with some
gunshi e at least.
How had she made this discovery?
Through the different ones who stopped
for a meal or a night s lodging at the
Vivern.
The stage passed the inn once each day,
And it was a rare thing uot to give custom
to the tavern on the hill.
Bog Tavern stood on the direct line to
the silver regions farther west, and conse
quently the old inn was well patronized in
the main, and Lucius Swayne made a com
fortnble living.
Iva was not satisfied With her life here,
however. She longed for social intercourse
with girls of her own age, aud for some
thing more e’eva ing than the inmates of
Dog Tavern could g ve.
Such feelings had held sway in the girl’s
mind during many months, ami in conse
quence she was discontented with her lot,
which made her one of the most miserable
of mortals. There were many things to
try her patience and tonder heart, as the
future will disclose.
Mrs. Swayne was a long time in return
ing to consciousness, and lva was pretty
thoroughly tired when she had tho satisfac
tion or seeing her aunt open her eyes and
hearing her speak.
“Go away, go away! Heavens! why do
fou stare at me so? I did not kill you! I
ii l not, I tell you. Mercy, mercy! Why
will you come back to haunt one who never
harmed you?’’
Iva listened to the wild talk in wonder
ami alarm.
Bhe saw that her aunt was laboring under
Intense excitement, and in her black eyes
there was a gloft of horror and fear that
was startling to beho'd.
lvaut oncj summoned her uncle.
He came, and the frown settled anew
over h s soin ber face when he noticed the
condition of his wife.
‘ Remain away for a little time,” ordered
the innkeeper. “I wi.l see what I can do
to soothe Susan. You wiil find Jerry in
tne tront room: no win ion you an noout
the troubles of the night.”
Iva gladly left the bedroom ands >ught
the great squire bar-room, which for a
wonder was clear of smoke, although there
was a strong smell in the place.
Bar-room aud parlor were one; in fnck
the room was neither the onenor the other,
but us no liquor was soi l at Bog Tavern
the lounging room was often the resort o;
the women, who loved the cheerful lire anc
genial comfort of the place.
In this room Iva, the tavern-keeper's
niece, had been the recipient of many ad
miring looks from the male gests, and her
remaikahle beauty, which was becoming
mote noticeable each day was the subject
of talk, and of many a toast even among
the lowest of the borderers.
Jeiry sat moodily by the dying fire when
his cousin came into the room.
“ho you are up. too,” ho muttered when
he cat! ht sight of Iva. TTis remark was
made without lifting h s head.
“There’s been some great trouble to
night,” sa dthe girl. “Something has hap
pened to the old traveler and his young
friend. Uncle Lucius said you would tell
me about it, Jerry. ”
“Do yon want ter hear it?”
“Yes. ”
“Then I'll tell you, but it ain’t pleasant to
talk about.”
In a low, sullen tone Jerry Swayne told
the storv of the murder, and Iva sat and
listened with white face, dilating eyes, and
an awful feeling of suffocation at her heart
and in her throat

School-House Where Gnrlleltl Taught.
President Garfield taught school for
three months in 1851, near Duncan’s
Falls, in Muskingum County, this State.
In the spring of 1851 James A. Garfield
and his mother visited Mrs. Garfield’s
brother, Henry llallou, in Harrison Town
ship, Muskingum County, O. A teacher
being needed in the district, Garfield
taught a three months’ term in the school
house on Back Run. To show the young
the building which a President of tho
United States occupied while teaching a
district school in a rural neighborhood,
this sketch was taken of the building as
it appeared when occupied by the Gen
eral m 1851. Some of the boys are yet
living in the township who were General
Garfield’s scholars at the Back Run
school. An old-fashioned tin-plate stove
was used for warming the room, which
would take a long stick of wood. Gar
field assisted the larger boys in cutting
wood, and the boys claim he was one of
the best hands w ith the ax they ever saw.
This sketch, taken before the change in
tbq. building, is pronounced by his old
scholars a correct one, as it appeared in
1851. It is one mile west of Marriem
Station, on the Z. & O. Railroad, and
fourteen miles southwest of Zanesville,

Japanese Adaptability.
Scarcely less interesting features in
Washington society than the ( tiinese
mini ter and his suite are the Japanese
minister and wife. Madame Kuki lias
learned a good deal of English since her
reception here two years ago. She now
understands the language fairly well
when it is spoken slowly and distinctly,
and she her elf speaks with a pretty ac
cent not unl.ke a Frenchwoman learning
English. Madame Kuki’s taste in dress
for visiting and evening toilets is almost
faultless. The colors selected are well
suited to her clear brunette complexion.
Her bonnets and gowns have the unmis
takable air of perfection given by rich
material and simple fashion. Her bcau
t.ful toilets are the more observed, as in
direct contrast to tbe Japanese style of
dress worn by her before coming to this
country. Even in so small a matter as
■women’s clothes the acknowledged
adaptability of the Japanese is plainly
marked; but Madame Kuki has not yet
been seen in a decollete dress Her
evening dresses are li gh, and it does not
seem likely that she will adopt this fea
ture of bur pean fashionable dress. She
is very pretty in white, pink and garnet,
and often wears these shades at evening
parties.— Washington Letter.
The Daughters of the King.
There is a society of women in New
York known as the King’s Daughters,
which, de-pite its royal title, is purely
democratic in organization. It was be
gun by ten women who felt a desire to
do some organized religious work and
objected to the tramm- Is of a big un
wieldy society. So these ten met at the
house of Mrs. F. Bottome, at No. 18
Washington Place, made her President
of the little band of pious princesses,
and proceeded to adopt a motto, a
watchword and a badge, consisting of a
tiny silver Maltese cross suspended to a
bit of royal purple ribbon. Not a year
has passed since then, but already the
society has grown very large—not added
to the original group, but organized in
other bran hes of ten each; and the
strange sight is seen sometimes of a
wom.in at the counter of a shop, seeing
the purple ribbon on the brea t of the
woman who serves her, extending her
hand cordially and saying: “I am ulso
a Daughter of the King.” The original
ten have formed the nucleus of the gen
eral so ietv, and arc known as the Cen
tral Ten. To them perplexing matters
are referred, but the organizat.on is very
elastic, and each little group carries on
its own self-chosen w ork in its own way.
One of the tens deeded to visit the
sick children in the hospitals, and
chose that as their work. A number of
them, various tens taking its turn, visit
the Hahnemann Hospital, and regularly
assist in the institution, also bringing
dolls,picture-books and toys for the little
ones. One ten lias undertaken to teach
a class of poor working girls to sew and
cook. Ten society girls with trained
voices call themselves a Musical Ten, and
sing in hospitals and at charity concerts.
One branch calls itself the Shut-in Ten,
consisting of invalids, and endeavor to
bring light and joy Into their lives, cor
responding with them, and teaching
them all sorts of fancy work to begu le
their tedious lives. Some b: anches de
vote themselves to home and foreign
missions, and there have been tens
formed in boarding school*, for their self
improvement. Girls prominent in socie
ty nave oined themselves to the King’s
Daughters, finding an outlet for their
surplus energies, and room for what
e v cr their special tastes dictates. It is
an organization worthy of wide imita
tion. Cincinnati Commercial

Scarf pins are popular with women as

Decorative hair pins have gained wide

Lace-trimmed handkerchiefs are once
more in vogue.
Fine vicuna cloth is deservedly popular
for tailor-made dresses.
Short cloth jackets for young ladies
have a revers collar of fur like those

Panels of Irish lace lined with color

One style of wearing the veil at pres

drawn up somewhat at each side, and
fastened very high at the back.
French cloth costumes have wraps of
the same material as the dress. When
two materials are used, one of which is
plain, the wrap is of the plain material.
Anew jacket to be worn under
a tailor made suit or short mantle is

Homeopathy.
Homeopathy, as a system of medicine,
was introduced by Ur. ila nemann, a
native of t.ermauy, toward the close ol
tlie last centu y. The name is derived
Iroin two Greek words signifying '‘sim
ilar suffering.” Hahnemann’s convic
tion was that medicines can euro dis
eased conditions similar to thos; which
they have the power to excite. In
short, that diseases are cured by medi
cines which produce symptoms in
healthy per-ons s milar to those pre
leuted by the palient. In order to elab
orate his idea lie was obliged to practice
upon himself and friends. The result
of bis labors in this direction are pub

thing on the plantation, and then wanted
to taekla the yard dog. 1 wua very
proud of him Finally, one day a stray
turkey gobbler came on the premises
and took up his abode there For u
day or two there was no war My
rooster, it ia true, followed the gobbler
around and picked up gravel in front of
him, and on< e or twice made a point of
jumping him. but the gobbler seemed
determined to attend to liis own busi

ever, I heard a peculiar noise in the
yard. I heard the queer 'pruti prut

that sounded like a sculHe. I raised a
window and found that tho gamo chick

I wanted to go out and keep the rooster
from killing the gobbler; nevertheless I
was interested in watching the result,
never doubting what it would bo. 'I he
rooster was full of tight and made fro
quent assaults on the gobbler. The lat
ter wus walking around in a circle,
uttering his peculiar cry, aud 1 noticed
that every time the rooster Hew at him
he merely dropped one of his wings,
receiving the attack on that. This con
tinued for some time, until finally ti e
gobbler darted forward, seized tbe
rooster by the back of the neck and pro
ceeded to lead him around in a ci ele.
The gobbler widened tho circle until lie
brought the rooster in contact with the

men the jKirlc-packiog Industry flit from
' Cincinnati to Chi ago. and from thence to
Kan av City and Omaha. Southern notion
mills undersell New England and American j
markets, ami challenge tho world.
We have scon and are voein; all this take
place before our eyas, and know that other
changes are taking | la e equally av prom
inent, and we wonder av ue behold them.
Ten yeurv ago the invuiau a companies only
re inired an analysis of tho lluiiiv when they j
were taking iuvuronce for very large
amounts To day no first-class company
will insure any amount unless they have a
rigid analvsiv of the llu.dv pawed, and if any
tun es of eeitain disorders are ap,*ront. the
application is lojeeted in their reports
th y show tint Ihe death of sixty of every
100 I eople in this country, is uue either di
rectly or indirectly to such disorder*. The
llmmpton Hospital for Consumptives, Lon
don, England, reports that sixty of every 100
vi tints of consumption also have serious dis
orders of the kidneys.
Ainoug scientists for the treatment of
this dread malady the question is being dis
cussed:
"is uot this disorder the real enusa of con
sumption!”
Ten years ago the microscope wav some
thing seldom found in a physician's ofli. e;
now every physician of standing has one and
seldom visits hiv patients without calling for
a sample of fluids for examination.
Why is all this* Is it possiblo that we
of the preseut generation are to die
of diseases caused by kidney dis
orders! or shall we master the cause by
Winner's safe cure, tho only re ognized
specific, ami thus remove the e fee tv! It is
e-tablished beyond a doubt that a very large
jierceutage of death- in this country is
tra -cable to disea-ed kidneys. For years the
proprietors of Warner's sate cure have been
insisting that there is no sound health when
the kidneys are diseased, and they enthusias
tically press their specific for this terrihls
disorder upon public ai ten’ion. We are con
tinually hearing its praises sounded.
This means w onders!
Cannot the pi opi iet - rs of t his great remedy,
who have i eeu warning us o£ the danger,
tell us how to avoid a di-euse that at iirst is
so unimportant, and is so fatal in its torml- [
nation! Are we to hope against hope, and
wait without our reward!
The most significant of all changes, how
ever, that we of to-day tan n >te is this radi- |
<al < hnnge of view to which the public has
been educated: it wav formerly thought that I
the kidneys were of very small importance;
to-day, we believe, it is generally admitted
that there can be no such tinug as sound
health in any organ if they are in the least
degree deranged.
Tho I’roie of Cow I’n idling.
s
Time was, and not so very long ago
either, when the cowboys received their
pav after the round-up they felt in duty
bound to go to Miles City and blow it
in at the gambling deus, saloons, aud
other disreputable places. Cow punch
ing is at best a very tough business, and
full of risks to the life and limb, and
pay is small and by no means adequate,
and after the round up there follows a
long period ol enforced idleness, during
which they are given food and lodging
only by the ranch owner. The average
cowboy was wont to turn up after his
semi annual spree with a very large
head aud not a cent in his pocket. Of
late, however, the “hoys have taken a
tumble to themselves and are saving
their money. So common has the eco
nomical spirit become among them that
Miles City has seen this year its quietest
season.
Most of the cowboys looked upon
their coming to Montana to herd cattle
as the mistake of their lives. The glow
inz stories of thrilling adventure and
sudden wealth of the cowboys’ life which
are common in the East are in most
cases responsible for their entering the
field, but the reality is quite a different
matter. Many of the economical ones
have been enabled by their savings to
return to their Eastern homes.
People who have not been through the
bad lands have but a faint conception
of the utter desolation and worthless
ness of a cow boy's home, ire is roasted
in summer and frozen in winter. Ttie
lands can never bo used for anything but
grazing, and the distances are therefore
something immense. One peculiarity of
■ the country makes rapid riding a very
difficult, not to say dangerous, under
taking. The earth is so fraiable that a
tiny watercourse will speedily cut for
itself a deep gully, or “coolie,” as it is
called, the depth of which when filled
with snow is entirely problematical. A
horseman who rides wilh a cowboy s
recklessness may suddenly find himself
at the bottom of a six or eight foot
coolie, with his horso on top of him,
and no wav to get out—if he happens to
be still alive—save tunnelling up to tho
head of the stream through the snow,
i Then one of your broncho's feet is as
. likely as not to sink suddenly two feet
I down into a coyote's hole when he is
! going at a furious pace. Result: His leg
snaps off like a pipe stem and you are
shot through the air to a point far be
| yond, and picked up more dead than
j alive. Ihe water is generally bitter
| with alkali, and scorches your throat as
i you swallow it; there is little to eat,and
that is hard to get.

How Women Differ from Men.
At least three men on the average Jury are
bound to disagree with the rest just to t-how
that they have minds of their ow:i; but tuero
is no and -agreement among the women as to the
merits of l)r Pierce’s ” favorite I’rewription."
They are all unanimous in pio louncing it the
best remedy in the world fo all those chronic
diseases, weaknes es and complaints peculiar
to the r sex. It trana onus the pale, haggard,
dispirited woman, into one of sparkling
health, and the ringing laugh again “reigns
supreme” in the happy household.
