CHATTER IV—Conti nilo<l.
When tho •lory was finished, she heaved
a deep H.h and started to her foot.
**'Jhie ih awful, awful!" moaned the #
in n way that startled tho Mood m the slug
gish veil h of the innkeeper's ton.
“Stop, Iva. \\ hat would ye do?”
Jerry came to his feet then, und strode
toward tho girl, for sho had gone to tho
foot of tho attirs and seemed about to
enter.
“I wish to confirm your story," said the
tavern girl, with a coolness that surprised
Jerry Dwayne.
“It is no sight for you."
“Dare you not trust me up there?"
She questioned more with her eyes than
with her lips, and he felt a startled thrill
enter his heart.
Was she su p cions of something wrong':
“Wait," he said;“there’a getter be an in
quest first. Don’t you meddle with this
thing, Iva; tain’t for girls like you. Re
member 1 have a right to demand that you
obey me
“A light?’’
“Yes, a right That’s what I said, and
there’s no nse you’re makin’ strange of it.
W e’ve been brought up together, and know
each other’s temper, and I don’t see ”
“None of that to me, Jerry Swuyne," the
girl interrupted, with a Hashing eye and
heaving bosom. “I hive a tiger hero —a
panther, more properly,"and she smote her
breast with one brown, clinched baud,
“and I will let him loose if you attempt
any of that nonsense. If we have been
brought up together, that is no reason that
we should make fools of ourselves; at any
rate, I don’t mean to. Just keep your dis
tance, and never mention what you did just
now again, never! ’
The panther was glittering in her eves at
that moment; he realized it, and seemed to
unders'and that it would be full as well for
him to heed the waning growl.
It was evident that there was no love lost
between the cousins, and yet it had been
plami'd by the old couple, and agreed to
on tho part of Jerry, that the cousins should
marrv some time.
The subject hud not been directly
broached to Iva, but she had heard enough
to understand what was passing in the
minds of her relatives, and it caused a re
bellious, bitter feeling to grow in her heart
for hor cons n Jerry that might otherwise
not have b en.
A little of th true inwardness had
flashed to tho surface, as we have seen.
Iva sat down on the lower step of tho
stairs, and remained thus in sullen silence
for a long time.
In this position she warn sitting when the
light of another day dawned upon tho
World.
The wind and storm had passed, and the
sun peered over the hills with a bright and
smiling face.
G ant ing at Jerry, the girl saw that he
had fa len asleep in Ms chair, and was even
now snoring loud v.
A solemn silence rested over llog Tavern.
Now was the time to investigate. Iva
rose and stole silently up tho stairs to th
guest chamber above. Having be n pro
pared for the wofal sight, she did not flinch,
out gazed upon the white, dead face of the
old man in a sort of solemn awe that dead
ened ihe heart beats in her bosom.
The old man lay like one peacefully
sleeping; it scarcely’ seemed possiblo that
he was dead.
The clothes covered the blood, and Iva
did not attempt to move them.
“Poor old man!” she murmured in an
awed undertone. ’ llow wicked; that hand
some Wallis Wager; to do such a wicked,
Wicked deed. ”
Tln‘ii she glanced at the opposite bed
and walked over to it
The pillows were slightly awry and the
coverlet wrinkled. She proceeded to
straight, n them with the deft hand of a
careful housekeeper.
As she lifted the Billow and gave it a pat
with her brown hand, a white object fell
from the “case.'
An envelope with a name written plainly
thereon.
The girl's native curiosity was at once
aroused. She snatched up the lettor and
read in breathless astonishment her own
name on the envelope.
“Forme! Goodness! tVliat does it mean?’*
And well she might ask that question,
for this was the first letter she had ever, re
ceived, and it had come to her in a most
singular manner
As she broke the seal a step sounded on
the stairs: this warned her not to read the
letter until in a place free from interrup
tion. As she concealed tho letter, Lucius
Swayne entered the room.

K PHOTOOWAPII.
“Iva, what arc you doing hero?"
The voice of Lucius Swayne was stern
and hash, and jarred unpleasantly on the
ear of the young girl.
"Attending my usual duties, uncle,” an
swered Iva.
“Go below: ihis is no place for you.”
The giri did not move.
She regarded the innkeeper fixedly for a
moment, then questioned bluntly:
“Uncle Lucius, who killed old Mr.
FredonV
“Why do von imagine that I can tell
you':” demanded Swayne tartly.
"Do you not know?”
"What did Jerry say. ”
“That the old man had been murdered,
and that you saw the one who did the
deed.”
The keen eves of his niece watched tho
innkeeper’s face olosely. Ho was annoyed
at this, fearing that idro might siispe t him,
perhaps. He r,t once placed himself r.ght
by saying:
“"“i voung fellow who came with the
old man- his traveling companion—is the
assassin. It is n terrible affair, and mnsf
be looked into. When the stage arrives 1
will send word to iSilversand. and have tho
young scoundrel intercepted and locked
wp-"
“Perhaps be did not go that way. ‘
“I think that he did.”
Ivft was not loath to leave' tlie chamber of
death. She was anxious to read her letter,
and so, without more words, she hastened
below.
“Hasten and get the breakfast," ordered
Mrs. Swayne, when Iva looked in on that
personage, as sho sat in a big wooden
rock, r in her bedroom that ope ed from
the dining room. “I do nut feel able to
bstn von this moraine.”
“IVhat was the trouble? Why did you
faint, Aunt Sue?”
“The shock of seei g the blood. It is an
awful thing to happen in ottr house 1 feel
that I shall never fully recover,” and Mrs.
Swayne ej< oted a groan.
"I’ll risk it,” was Iva'u mental comment,
that was not uttered aloud. She passed on
to her own apartment, aud locking the door
sat down to a hasty perusal of the letter
she had so strangely found:
Miss swayne: N > doubt you will bo sur

Wamji Waoir
Wo cannot picture the wonderment of
tho girl who read this strongly worded
epistle from a stranger.
The voice of her aunt calling her caused
Iva to suddenly conced the Micron hot
person and Imst- n from tho room.
Tearing to ex< ito suspicion tho girl wont
about prepar ng the morning meal with
nervous rapidity.
There was call for her being nervous, as
the reader knows. Iva was puzzled with re
gard t< tho writer of the letter. Why
h id be fled without giving it into her hand?
Why hud he murdered his aged companion,
and left this missive of so much impor
tance, which he dul not wish to full into the
hands of the tuvernkeeper or his friends,
under the pillow, or in the slip where it
was so likely to he found by tho wrong
person?”
Such questions filled tho mind of the
tavern girl all tho morning, to the eicusion
of everything el-e almost.
At niuo o'clock, th eastern stage halted
at the door of tho Bog Tavern, undone
pa songer only nl ghited.
The stage exchanged teams here, and
halt* and twenty minutes for refrehsments.
The stngo from tho west would arrive at
noon, and Bog Tavern profited by this, as it
furnished dinner for sevoral hungry pas
sengers daily.
Sometimes extras were run in connection
wiih tho stu o, to accommodate belated
passengers who had failed to gain Bardy’s
Kao ii in time to t I pilar.”
It was thirty miles from the ranch to
S harsand, the latter one of the mushroom
cities of the silver laud, and at the time of
writing the resort for men and characters
from every nation and clime beneath the
sun.
'1 ho stage that left Bog Tavern tho even
ing before, in tho face of a tremendous
h orin, was an extra, and no word hid yet
been received of its fate in tho appalling
dangers of tho night.
Bog Tavern, wrongly rflimed, perhaps,
since it stood on the top of a sand and
gravel ridge, which descended either way
half a mile before reaching the swamp on
one side and th • general level on the other,
was twelve miles from Bardy’s Ranch and
eighteen from Silversaud.
From the east the stage halted for break
fast, sometimes; from the west, always for
dinner.
Dusty Dan was tho driver of the west
bound stage, and one of the best reinsmen
on the road.
He was li:st informed of the murder, and
then the only passenger, a small, gray-eyed
man. who bore a small gr p in his hand.
Me listened attentively to tho details.
‘ Goodness Bakes’ ’ exclaimed Dusty Dan,
"you don't say that one of them chaps was
murdered. \N by, I saw ’em both just afore
they set off fur Silversaud."
* I saw them, 100, ” put in the small pas
senger. “I didn’t suppose there was any
enmity between them; they seemed to be
friends. ”
‘‘One can't alius tell in this world,” mut
tered the innkeeper, falling into his West
ern dialect naturally enough.
‘‘No. Will you permit me to visit the
room where this deed was done?" ques
tioned the small passenger.
“It is not necessary. I know who the
nssassiu is.”
“As you choose, of course; but since there
could ho no harm in it, I supposed you
would not object If you havo any reason
for keeping investigators out, I have noth
ing to sav.”
Tho littlo man loaned against the bat
and drummed lightly with his fingers, at
tho same time regarding the floor in n
thoughtful way. Dusty Dan had gono to
exchange teams, and five of tho twenty
minutes allowed for stopping had alreadj
passed,
“Of course there can be no harm,” said
the innkeeper; “my only object was to keep
out idle curiosity-seekers. I see that you
cannot be classed as one of these; you may
?o up.”
Something like n smile touched the face
of the little man as he followed Lucias
Bwayne up tho stairs.
The mom*.nt he had departed Jerry,
who was sitting near in an apparently un
interested attitude, sprang up and crossed
tho floor to tho bar.
The litt o man’s grip sat on tho counter,
and the thick lingers of Jerry Swnyne at
tempted to pull it open.
The grip was locked,
Jerry was not to be put down in this way.
He drew a bun li of keys from his pocket
and tr ed one after another with the swift
dexterity of an expert. At length his
patience was r warded, and tho leather
satchel lay open before him.
One glance inside caused him to start
aud mutter:
“1 thought so.”
Several pairs of handcuffs met his gaze,
and a bund eof cards. These he snatched
and drew tho rubber cord from them.
They proved to be photographs—of rogues,
no doubt.
One the thick yet strangely dexterous
fiugcis of Jerry slipped from the pack aud
conveyed to his own pocket.
li< adjn itii ath rabber cord, he dropped
the cards back, aud closed the grip, just as
the sound of steps was heard descending
tho stairs.
Soon the little man and Lucius Swayne
stood in the room below.
Jerry sat half asleep in his chair near the
wall, the picture of tho utmost imbecility.
Who would suspect him of cunning and
low trickery?
Dusty Dan was bringing tho fresh horses,
and the passenger moved to the door.
“ Won't you stop for breakfast, Mr.
Thompson?"
This from tho innkeeper.
“No, I will not detain Dan; he is ready
to go on—thanks.”
“1 hope you’ll git lid of yer stiff afore I
lame round to-morrer, J.oosh,” criod Dan.
is he dropped the bolt into place that se
cured tho “evener" and clambered to his
lofty perch.
“I’ll see to that.”
r l he crack of a whip and roll of wheels
announced the departure of the stage, end
Mr. Thompson, the lone passenger, oocu
pied the seat beside the driver.
“Who’d you call the spindle-shanks,
father?”
“Mr. Thompson.”
Anil then, as if immensely pleased, the
younger Swayne burst into a grim laugh,
which caused tho innkeeper to turn upon
him in wrath.
“What’s got into you now, hoy?”
“The idee,” chuckled Jerry.
He arose from his seat, sprawled across
the floor, and leaned iwainst the couutei
with u quoer glow in his beef-red eyes.
“So you thought ho was Mr. Thompson?
What a gull you are, dad. I spose you
thought you never sot eyes on the little fel
ler before?”
“I never met him until to-day.”
“I thought you had blighter ideas, pa,”
ntteied the b g scion of the Swayno family,
w r ith a ( buckle. “Look here once; did you
ever see that phiz afore."
Jerry thrust his photograph under tho
eyes of tho old man.
A startled expression overspread the face
of the innkeeper. This passed instantly,
however, and he said:
“It is tho picture of a dead man—where
did y u get it?”
“Of Fugle Gray, the detective."
Aud then Lucius Swayn e uttered a low

more into taciturnity. —Buffalo Express.

Colonel C. !•'. Steels, of I.a ter,
Ohio, resided for ten vents in South
America. 110 has been giving his earth
quitke experiences in that country to a
t incinnati AwiyuSwcorruspondont “My
lir-t experience," fa and the Colonel, “was
a singular one. It was one of tho his
toric earthquakes In South America, and
although 1 was in the midst of it, for
somo strange re .son, I ilid not fcol the
awful shock which prostrated a city and
almoil destroyed it. and which inspired
others with the most awful terror In
fact the work wits done before I realized
what was going on."
“Hive me your experiences."
“Tito earthquake to which I refer was
the one that practically destroyed Vul
paruiso in lsfll. It wus a gala day in
the city, und preparations bad been made
to receive the President of Chili, who
was coming up from Santiago. All the
public and most of tho | rivntc buildings
were gayly decorated, and the populuce
was on the <,ui vive in expectation of the
distinguished guest. Whenever a cav
alcade would strike upon tho Grand
l’lttza, everybody would rush at out ex
pecting it to be the Presidential party,
only tube disappointed. I was stopping
at u hotel which opened out upon the
I’laza, and had been fooled n number of
times, and had resolved not to go out
again until I had n sure thing on it. In
the principal room of the hotel there was
a large round table, gathered about
which were n number of naval otticers
and sailors from foreign ports, drinking
wine and celebrating tho occasion
in fine style. In the centre of the
table was a lamp, used for lighting
the room at night, nearly three
feet high, surmounted by a large
glass globe. The officers and sailors
were noisy and full of fun, and I sat
there enjoying their hilarity, when ail
at once there came a noise ns though
many squadrons of cavalry and artillery
had swept into the “ rand Plaza. There
were wild and unusual cries outside and
I said to myself the President is here at
last, but I’ll jUst wait to make sure of it.
From the way tilings began to shake
and tremble, I thought that the Presi
dent had all the heavy artillery of the
Republic in his train, with a vi w of
showing his greatness to such strangers
as might be in town. The clamor out
side increased, but there wore no hip
hip hurrahs. There were strange and
wild ejaculations, the meaning of which
I could not comprehend, and quicker
than it takes me to tell it, all the revelers
at the round table ran out of doors ex
cept one ship captain who was more
than half seas over, and sat glaring
around as though he was dazed. Then
the wine-glasses began to leap like
frogs from the table and dash themselves
to pieceson the concrete floor. The tall
lamp began to gyrate and reel like a
dr nken man, whereat tho captain
grasped it with b th hands and shouted:
‘Put down your helm! Steady then;!
Port your helm, you lubber! Hold her
hard-a-port! Don't you see we’re run
ning right into *he breakers:’ Leaving
the captain thundering out his commands
to an imaginary helmsman, and holding
on to the tamp I. k. - grim death, I stepped
outside to see what the unearthly com
motion meant. The stroet. as far as I
could see, and the Plaz.a were filled with
uncovered human beings, kneeling" and
beating their breasts as though in the
agonies of supplication. This struck me
9 being a singular way to receive a
democratic ruler. Then I could see the
lofty buildings tumbling into heaps of
ruins, like children’s toy-houses, and
the long street in front of me looked
like a huge strip of carpet wth
a giant at each end of it slink
ing the dust out of it. The un
dulations were perfectly natural, and
the dust rose in blinding masses. Then
I realized that we were in the midst of
an earthquake. Although I felt the awful
tremors of the < arth, I have no recollec
tion of the shock or shocks which threw
down the lofty buildings and wrecked
more or less all the others, including my
own hotel. There was much loss of life,
but it was a mere tri e compared with
what would have followed such an earth
auake in a North American city. With
the first subsidence of the earth’s con
vulsions all who were able started to flee
to the mountains near the city, and I fol
lowed suit. Tney feared the incoming
of the tidal wave, whi h would have
been more destructive than the earth
quake itself. But it did not come.”
“AVhat became of the ship Captain?"
“He escaped unhurt, and saved the
globe intact. And, as incredible as it
may seem, it is nevertheless true that it
was the only pie e of glass or c hina ware
in the city that escaped unbroken. It
was placed in a case, and is still pre
served in Valparaiso, with a suitable in
scription recording its miraculous escape
from the earthquake.
“Earthquakes were of common occur
rence, out were not always destructive.
They were of all degrees, from a mere
tremor to a terrible shaking-up. Hut
when they came, great or small, hats
went oil and prayers for deliverance
went up. On one occasion with a small
party I made a trip into the interior, and
stopped at the city of Mendoza. Here I
met an intelligent old Spaniard who had
read the life and achievements of Don
Cortes Washington, and ho was so de
lighted with meeting one of his fellow
countrymen that I had to stay with him
a week and tell him all about the United
States. One morning bright and early
we set out on our journey, and had pro
ceeded three or four leagues when we
heard the awful roar of an approaching
quake. Our mules set their feet wide
apart, braced themselves, put down their
heads and began to groan. With hats
in hand we leaped to the ground, and
found it diilicult to keep our feet. First
was the horizontal motion back and
forth, and then the vast plain in all di
rections around us rose and fell like the
waves of the sea, but with no apparent
exteriour fissures. The heavy tremors
continued, and we unpacked our mules
and camped where wo were. Two
nr three hours later a frightened
mule teer dashed past us and shouted:
“Mendoza is destroyed!” We mounted
our m-les and returned. The scene pre
sented was an aw ul one. The city had
been built for earthquakes and all the
buildings were one-story adobes. There
was not a foundat on even left. The
streets could be traced, but the houses
themselves were extinguished. The best
idea I can give of it is this: Take an im
mense tray and cover it with little heaps
of sand in regular rows, and then give it
a sudden shake hori ontally. The loose
sand is scattered in indistinguishable
lines. That precisely answers the de
scription of Mendoza as we looked at it
from a swell in the plain.
“The effect of these earthquakes on
birds and animals was as tna ked as on
human beings. Abject terror sei ed
them all. You would see a flock of barn
yard fowls scratching and disporting in
the sunshine the gay pltimaged cocks of
Ihe walk strutting about like drum
majors at a dium parade Suddenly the
earth would groan and tremble and
heads and wings would go down and
the gallus birds would move along slowly
or cower down and utter the most piti
ful and doleful cries. The groaning of
the mules and cattle added to the terror
of the scenes, l ogs and < ats exhibited
human like terror aud "ild animals and
birds would seem to be suddenly bereft
iof their natures. There is nothing
amusing in an earthquake.

Tribes of D.varfs.
A while ago Air. Grenfell, of the
Congo missions, encountered on the
Bosuri Rivor, south of the Congo, the
Batwa dwarfs whom Stanley mentions in
“The Dark Continent ” tho gli Manley
did not see them. Grenfell says these
little people exist over n largo extent of
country, their villages be ng scattered
here and there among other tribes.
Wiesmann and Rogge also met them a
few years ago in their journey to Ny
angwe.
It was long ago supposed that the story
of Herodotus about the pigmies of Africa
was mythical, but within the past twenty
years abundant evidence has accumu
lated of the existence of a number of
tribes of curious little folks in equatorial
Africa. The chief among these tribes
arc the Akka, whom Schweinfurth found
northwest of Albert Nyassa, the (K ongo,
discovered by Du Chaillu in West
Africa, southeast of Gaboon, nud the
Batwa south of Congo.
These little people range in height
from t feet 3 inches to about 1 feet 3
inches. They are intelle tuallv ar well
as physically infer or to tho other tribes
of Africa. They are perhaps nearer the
brute kingdom limn any other human
beings, lho < > bon go, for instance, wear
no semblance of clothing, make no huts
except to bend over and fasten to the
ground the tops of three or lour young
trees, which they cover with leaves;
possess no arts except tho making of
bows anti arrows and do not till the soil.
They live on the smaller game of the
forest and on huts an 1 berries. They
regard the leopard, xvliich now and then
makes a meal of one of them, as their
deadliest enemy. They live only a few
days or weeks in one place, burying
themselves in some other part of the in
terminable woods ns soon as the nuts
and other food supplies near their canp
begin to grow scarce
When Schweinfurth first met tho A hi. a
dwarfs he found himself surrounded by
what he supposed was a crowd of impu
dent boys. There were several hundred
of them, and h ■ soon found that they
were veritable dwarfs, and that their
tribe probably numbered several thou
sand souls. One of these dwarfs was
taken to Italy a few years ago, was
taught to rea I, and excited much inter
est among scientific men. There aro
other tribes of dwarfs in Abyssinia and
also in Somaliland.
It is believed that a'l these people,
including the Bushmen of South Africa,
are the remains of an aboriginal popula
tiou that is now becoming extinct. In
the migrations and subjugations that
have been in progress for many centuries
among powerful tribes, the dwarf tribe
of Africa lias been scattered, and its
isolated fragments are still found in
widely separated parts of the continent.

Origin of Soma FainUinr I’ll ruses.
“Bag and baggage” is doubtless an
old proverbial expression in regard to
the movement of an army. Touchstone
says in “As You Like It”: “Come,
shepherd, let us make an honorable re
treat, though not with bag and bag
gage, yet with scrip and scrippage.”
The way in which the phrase is used
shows that it is a well known one, and
the joke turns on that fact
“ilead as a door nail” is an old pro
verbial com Davison which Shakspeare
repeated. .
“Hit or miss” i-> part of a proverbial
phrase, “Hit or miss for a cow’s heel.”
“Love is blind” is simply the obvious
deduction from the old fable aud must
be one of the oldest expressions in the
language.
"Love is blind, but sees afar” is an
old Italian proverb.
"Selling for a song" sounds like a
proverbial phrase; b it. where the clown
in "All's A ell That Ends Well"speaks
of a man fl at, "sold a goodly manor for
■a song,” the thing looks like anew
coinage.
“Fast and loose” is not of Shake
spearean origin. The phrase comes fi om
an old juggler’s trick employed by
sharpers at country fairs. “To play at
fast and loose” was to play this game, in
which, after both ends of a string seemed
securely fastened, the juggler suddenly
slipped it away.
“Familiarity breeds contempt’ is an
old proverb: the Latin form of it is:
“Nimia familiaritas contemptum parit.”
“Misery makes strange bed-fellows” is
simply a version of the pro orb “.Misery

“Birds of a feather flock together” is

The Wasp.
The wasp is found in most all coun
tries, but seems to have more business on
his mnd in North America than any
where else. He keeps both standard
and solar time, and is always ready to
till an engagement by either. He doesn’t
care so much about what he cats but he
is very domestic and must have a home.
This is generally located under the eaves
of a bui'l ling insured for its full value,
though it sometimes hangs from the
limb of a tree or bush. As no wasp ex
pects to live to see the new year c-'ine in
he doesn’t break his back to lay in a
store of pork ahd potatoes, and it makes
no difference to him whether coal go s
up or down. He spends the time from
May to Octob r in sloshing around, at
tending county fairs h >rsc races and
wrestling matches, and having more . r
less to do in the harvest field and around
cider mills It is ad sputed point
whether the wasp can bite harder than
the bull dog, b t the we'ght of opinion
is in favor of the wasp lie seems mad
about something 11 the time, and it
doesn’t make any difference whither his
vi tim is the babe in the cradle or the
father in the barnyard. Hive months is
the average lif of the wasp, and he is
h ; ard from about as often as any other

SHERIDAN'S ( OI’RTSHIP,
km farlUont la th* Hero’# Wooing Noi
HrrorUrtl In Riograplilra,
Not long linre at a dinner, Riven in
New York, Gen Sheridan related un
lot idtot that bifol him whllo colling
on the young lady who ii the present
Mrs. Sherman. During the war General
Sheridan was too much occupied defend
ing his country to fall in love. When
the malady finally overtook him in
Chicago, after the war. Sheridan had
passed what is generally called the
romantic stage and was settling down
into a well seasoned old Bachelorhood,
old bachelors make the most enthusi
astic of lovers, and the General admitted
that he w as no exception to the rule,
“It was a warm summer evening ”
Sheridan began, “and upon my arrival
at the house the young lady nud myself
retired to tho back parlor. The front
parlor opened into tho hall, and as the
night was warm, you know, we did not
think it necessary to light the gas in the
hack room. Now this young lady’s
father had a great fear of burglnrs Ho
had burglar alarms all over the house,
and had recently put anew alarm on
the front door Neither the young lady
nor myself knew anything about tho
alarm cn the front door After a time
tl.o old gentleman enmo down stairs,
set his alarm on the door, and see
ing the dim light in tho front parlor,
supposed that I had gone and tuned
out the light in tho hail. We were
busily engaged in talking, you know,
and somehow did not hear him Finally
when I got up to leave the young lady
accompanied ire to the floor. Wo were
surprised to find tho light turned and in
tumbling around for tho door knob I
set off the burglar alarm. It seemed to
me that I never knew’a burglar alarm to
work so well before. It sounded like
the explosion of a keg of dynamite. A
moment Inter the father of the young
lady appeared nt tho head of the stairs
in his night-dress, holding a light in one
hand and ft large pistol in tho other.
Vt this apparition the young lady de
serted me and tied in'o tho darkness.
My position was positively dangerous. I
suppose I had been in dangerous places
before without thinking of it, but I con
fess for the moment I trembled all over
with fear and scarcely mustered up
voice enough to say, ‘Don’t shoot; it's
me,’ Fortunately lie recognized my
voice and came down and let me out.
“Now, you know gentlemen,” he con
eluded, “if the young lady had stood
by me there would have been no danger,
l ut she didn't, you know, and my posi
tion was rather awkward before 1 was
recognized. One might die on the field
of battle without regret, but I should
hate to be shot as a midnight marauder.
I only tell the story because is actually
took place as I have said, and to show
that there are times when we may all
lose our courage.
Simple, but Dishonest.
One of the simplest things ever heard
of, and which was still as neat as it was
simple, was the breach of trust of a
Philadelphia messenger. He received a
package of SIOO,OOO, and hid it safely
away. He then went back to the bank
which had employed him and told tho
officers that he was tired of being poor,
and that he had determined to use the
money they had given him to carry to a
certain other bank. At first it was
thought he was drunk, then crazy, then
joking. But he simply advise 1 the olli
cers to have him arrested, as he intend
ed to keep and use the money in ques
tion The principal ho promised event
ually to return.
The officers tried to persuade him,
but without avail, lie was finally ar
rested, but his only crime was breach of
trust. His declared intention of cveit
ually returning the money made it almo* t
impossible to bring his crime under the
head of any indictable offence. He was
finally tried for breach of trust and
came off with two years in tho peniten
tiary. This occurred about fifteen years
ago. The perpetrator still lives in
Philadelphia and is in favorable circum
stances, and talks freely about his little
escapade.
He still says he intends to return tho
money to the bank. He had his Lawyer
draw up a will in which he bequeathed
the sum of SIOO,OOO to the bank, being
the smn borrowed on such dute. less
$2,400. being the amount charged for
two years’ enforced idleness ut SIOO a
month —Memphis Avalanche.

Her reply made him prick up his cars.

“You see its got over being green.
He popped at once, and was sent to
pop to “popy.”

Ono tins a most axoelltnt op|X>rtunlty ta
study "man” a* represent***! by th average
.Now Yorkers. Among tho wealthy clone*,
v ry many of them have tho waxy skin,
dropsical fle’*h, mi l "puffed *y#” that aro
iidli ntivo of serious kidney affection.
‘ Bright’s disease is plainly written on their
faces. Since General Logan’s death the sub
ject of rheumatism is being dlecuseed by the
modi’ al profession.
Kverv intelligent person, with any know!*
e Ige of the human system, is well aware that
if the kidneys are in good condition all un
ne ONHfti y material is regularly carried off
by them. If not, various acids, such as urio
add. one of t*ie < hiof causes of rheumatism,
are left in events,creating deposits that cause
a i sorts of chronic organic diseases It
would '•eerti, therefore, that rheumatism, like
dropsy, is not a disaat *, but tho result of a
disease, und it is safe to -ay that if the
st Hiiurh and kidneys are kept iu h althtul
condition, thoro will be no deaths from rheu
matism.
General Logan was well aware that his
duruMo was of the kidneys, and once ex
t rcesod himself iu indignaut terms at the
hilly of doctors treating him for rheumatism,
whim it was the kidneys that earned his
at n Un. The high living and the excoMtes in
all thing* prevalent, among wealthy men in
lar it cities especially in New York, Is the
< hief caii-*e for Hr.gilt’s disease, and the aris
tocratic trouble known as rheumatism, even
as insufficient an I improper food lring about
the same results among the very poor.
Tho above article, which wo reproduce be
cause of itsgeneral interest, is very signifi
cant. Tho public believes that rheumatism
is un effect of diseased blood, this disease lad
ing caused by uric acid or kidney p dson.
Enough of this is developed daily to kill sev
eral men. and if it is not removed by the kid -
i e * as fad a* formed, it gradually ruins the
health.
. a.s fact is a scientific demonstration
I. do.tors do not admit it, it is probably
bo ail's t oy do u t wish to attract atte i
tiou to tho meria o deranged kidueys offers
to tho general health, since they nave no
authori ed sj ecific for these organs.
General Logan knew what his real trouble
was, aud ho recognized the nonsenseof treat
ing the effects—the real seat of the disease
was the kidneys. Senator Hittig, of Illinois,
whose vote o> ted L* gan Senator after four
mouths of balloting, tells us that Logan often
complains 1 to him of great distress in his
ki Ineyg. Disea eof the kidneys always
produces rheumatism, and beside* that, it
can e* paralysis, a;>oplexy, iinpotency,
stomach ami blood disorders, brain troubles
female c mplaints and countless other dis
eases wlii-h would almost never develop it
the Mood was kept free of uric acid or kiduey
poison.
Those facts the public rcc gniz.es even
though medical gentle i en, for very evident
leisons, will not publicly acknowledge them
lest, perchauce.soine proprietary medicine like
Warner’s safe cure, now admitted to l>e the
only s ientilic specific, will get the benefit
He on such bigotry I It las been authori
tatively stated time and again that there can
be no real sound health il there is any false
action of the kidneys. Insurance companies
refuse millions of risks on this ground alone,
hence it is that there is such universal popu
larity given to the great preparation named
—a popularity that is ba-ed upon intrinsic
merit.*
Too much dependence upon professional
advice, especially iu matters over which
medical men a linit they have no power, too
often results very disastrously, but of what
use to the victim is experience gained by fa
tal disaster/
How much bolter it is to be guided by an
unpre udiced public opinion in such matters.
Ha<l Logan been so guided, he might have
been spare! many years.

Mighty Sensible Talk
The correspondence between Major
Young, of Charleston, und John Brown,
Jr., about that famous five dollar bill, is
of national importance.
The son of Harper's Ferry Brown
hopes that "the bloody chasm” of other
days will be filled up with “fraternity"
enough to make the ground even. Aud
he adds that the politicians who “fought
tneir buttles seated on dry good* boxes
at the stroet corner*" will pass away iu
good time, and then we shall have no
more sectional prejudice. As for the
men who “looked into caih other’s eyes
across sabres ami bayonets," they shook
hands long ago, and are now so busy
trading with each other tbut tho dead
past, which hits buried its dend, is—well,
it’s tho deud past.
The Brown family seem to have a good
deal of common sense.—New York
Herald.

“Karel Yes, I see—the opposite of
