••Jii.m as an ugly bib of traveling,/-!. can
WH you, over ' Binds Head, in my young
flays* as lonesome a' place as any in the
poantry round. And it weren’t for nothing
•S.they gived the place to the Devil
there’s the Devil’s Jumps over to Frensham, ■
Und his Punchbowl at your feet; and over |
to the Downs you see his very markst-his
elawaas where he grabbled as he fell. And
the deeds-. done*round‘ about were his own
and no mistake. *
“Pmdhinhing now of a tale as is-not so
known,as.it should be. That stone before
ye tells ofthe poor sailor chap as was mur
dered here, for his money, no doubt—com
ing from Portsmouth he were; but no stone
nor no book, so far as I know, has spoke for
Haney Dedtnan.
“Hers was a death indeed. I canlt speak,
to the'partikiars, for I had it as‘it were
handed down through ninety years and
more; but I wWt tell you a lie if lean
help it; and for all I haven’t it chapter and
verse, its wonderful lifesome, too.
“The Dedmans lived, when thev was to
home, in a bit of a place in the Combe there
You might pass within a yard of it and not
see it, so grandfather said. They was of a
Smuggling crew. There was a chain of them
smugglers from Portsmouth all the way,
and a wild set they was. They had the
country on their side, though, and the coast
guardses wag thought no better of than
they deserved. There was two brothers,
Dick and Joe Dedtnan, and their father;
and Nancy was the one girl. She was a
beauty by all accounts—very wild, too, and
as as rare a one at smuggling as auy of
them; and she would ride bareback on any
horse, and be out all night and all day, and
many's the time when she’s kept the coast
guardses at bay, and done many a bit of
business as wanted a woman’s wit and a
man’s strength.
“She must have been still a lass when
there was news of a rare lot of spirits and
baccy (it was the war time), and the word
was passed along the line from Portsmouth
to Hinde Head, and beyond, too, in course.
And the King’s men got wind on it, and.
they made ready for a fray—they thought
os how they would break the neck of this
smuggling business; more fools they; as if
poor men were to be put down and denied
their rights so easy-! Well, it seems as
they’d planned to put so many at each
of the smuggling posts, all ready—
and they said they would settle all,
and easy, too, excepting the Dedman
lot, on account of Dick Dedman; he
was a wonderful power of a man. They
had a warrant agin him ever so long, but
never could lay hand on him, nor find out
where he put up. So one of the King’s men
(a sharp young fellow, whose father was a
farmer, but lately come over to this side of
Godalming), he took the job. And he
dropped down one day on Nancy Dedman
|n the Combe, and made out as he were a
tailor an his way to Lunnon; and he asked
for, a bite and‘a drink. And she looked
him up Bnd down, and her decidement were
that he ment. no harm, so she asked him in
tad gave it he. And he
talked from ono to t’other of foreign
parts and the wars; and Nancy, sne
were terrible took up with it all;
and he they said, a way with
him, and he were an honest young
chap, too, but for his trade. ‘Well,
without so much as her finding out, she gets
to tell he that she is alone till the night, till
the old man come, and that he and the lads
was away; Joe to Guilford and Dick to the
mill over by Haslemere: he was but lately
come back and keeping quiet; giving his
wor*> , and every one was on his side and
would not betray he to any of the Kings
men—she, who was that sharp they called
her ‘HawK-eyed Nance,’she were drawedon
and on—and he wound up with more of his
tales, and went on his way, leaving her a
thinking on the Indies, and wishing she
might see the sailor again.
“But he, he went back to his mates, and
they followed Dick up, and sure enough
they nailed him at the mill, and he were 1
warranted and throw’d into jail. Well, the
fray come off, and the coast guardses beat
the smugglers all along the line, and Joe
Dedman was killed in the fray, and the old
man swore as he would track the traitor
who told on Dick and take his life for his
son Joe; for had Dick been there he would
liave made one too manv for the devils of
King’s men. Nancy hadn't a thought as
how it were she; no, not when at the Has
lemere Fairing she met’the sailor, who said
as how he’d settled down with his father,
old Farmer Kemp, to Godaiming—which
was truth, for he’d giv’d up the coast-
guardsing.
“One way and another they was always
meeting, aiid young Kemp he lost his heart
to she, and they say as he told his father as
he must have Nancy Dedman or he would
be off to the war. The old fanner shook’d
his head, but he could never give his son
any denial, and when once he brought
Nancy to see the old man, he said he were
bound to confess that Nancy had the ways
Df a lady, for ail sho were so brown, and was
ft the Dedman lot. It make a deal of talk,
butold Dedman. hetooknokeed, till one day
—it were soon alter Dick come home; I never
heard who gotten him out, but it were soon
biter. Well, one day Nancy spoke up that
he was going to get married and to young
Parmer Kemp. There was a kick up! the
bid man and Dick had set their minds to
give Nancy to their crew at Portsmouth; to
keep her in the trade, and to keep their
selves fair with the head crew there. And
the whole crew was mad after Nancy Ded
tnan. Nancy stood to it that she’d marry
young Kemp; and they gave her a time of
ft! a reg’lar pei'secution as ever you lind in
Pox’s Martyrs, short of the stake we’ll say.
But Nancy were none of the kittle sort;
the stood to her say—and one day
when they were out of the house, but
not far off, for they never loft she
alone, Jim Kemp crawled in from among
the bracken (she’d advertised he of the
danger) and tells her as his father was just
fedead, and be must have an end of this, and
Kvill she fix the day! Ho said as how he’d
come and fako her away by force if need
be, he and some of his old mates; and as she
Was puzzling how he could get a lot of sail
ors, ail of a sudden (you see she know’d
nought of the coastguard’s business) Dick
looked in at the door! and his face was the
devil’s own as it flashed to me that there
Btood the man as hail nailed him in the mill
Itnd had him to prison. And Nancy saw
him; and Jim saw him, and turned milk
white; Dick’s look was enough to curdle
Vour very blood. ‘Traitor! Nance!’said he.
'so you wero a carrying on and we never
knowd it! and it was you ns told on your
own flesh und blood, and your father's curse
nd miue, too’—
“ ‘Hold there!' cried young Jim, hitting
Dick on the mouth to stop his curses (they
was afraid of curses there) ‘hold thero! She.
never knew,’ and ho poured it all out as
how it happened, and as how lie was always
thinking on Nancy, and so giv’d up the
Coastguardsing part on her account and
port on his father’s. But afore he hail
ended Dick wero gone and Nancy was all
on a heap with nought to sav —but her look
cut up young Jim and no mistake. I won’t
Bay but ho deserved it—for he’d been double
with her—through love on her, no doubt,
but it’s allays best to be straight, and so he
felt, too late, ami that had lie spoke truth
when lie told his love he couldn't but ha
lost her once, and liow he had lost her twice,
and the losing on her respect were worse
Uor the losing she.
“Sho wore a wonderful power of a woman
for all as was in her, and she’d lmd litt'e
love except from Joe, and he wus dead. So
Blie said to Jim sho forgave him, hut it wore
oil to an end lietween they; she’d love him
all her days, but she couldn’t wed her
brother’s murderer. That wus all.
“Well, the next on it was that when they
found as she’d given he up they believed sho
had nought to say to it, awl was kind to her
Bgin; us kind at) they ever was, and that
warn’t much; bur site was unaisy, and knew
them too well to think as theyud lot Jim
Kemp Is*. Whyevnr Dick hadn’t kllbsi him
tliei’e and the!, she could not toll. But one
bight she ware to lied, and sho hoard somo
nu coxae in to thermal next; her room were
but a lean- to* und they slc_>t in tint big l oom.
And she heard a deal of whispering, and

( ets louder and louder, and she hears

; out into the shed, and all was still. Nancy
knew now what was brewing. But how to

she couldn’t get out without
going through the room with Dick in it, or
through the window into the shed with the
■ Strader there. Not that they was strangers,
.for she know’d their voices; they was of the
Portsmouth crew.
“What should she do ? how should she
save her lover ? for he was her lover, and
she know and it. She know’d that though she
could never wed with he, she could never
love another. Mayhap there was som’at
( strange in her manners, for all she made as
'though she was cheerful like, or may be it
wer.6 from his own knowing what was com
’ aa >: how Dick looked sharply after
Nance all next day, and the day after too
It were a hot, dry summer, and the days
were long and there was a full moon that
nightj and no doubt that was the more con
vement; not but what the Dedmans could
make their way blindfold anywhere over
"b® country round, and all their crew,
Dick went off somewhere to seven and
said,, careless like, as Nancy had best not
wait, for he and the old man had business
aw ay, and would not be back till very late
mayhap, mayhap earlier. Nanoe waited
till he was gone, then she took her flint and
steel and fastened the door, and went to the
shed and took the nag (they had only left
the old jnare); she didna’ wait to bridle she,
but off she went as fast as the wind for
Holder Hill, over to the sou’west from here.
And she rode and rode and went upthehillun
to the Beacon Point, and there was the bonfire
all laid ready, as dry as tinder, and she
struck and struck, and the third time she
got a flame, and soon the beacon was
blaziijg and no mistake; and she rode and
she rode toward Blackdown until the poor
beast could go no longer; so she got off and
let her go. And Nance walked and walked,
until all on a sudden the light sprung up on
Blackdown, and ahe knew as sure as if she
saw him that her trap had taken, that Jim
had seen the fire on Holder, and instead of
going home had turned off to light up
Blackdown.
“It was the war time, you see, and he
were keen for the cause, and was the first
once before to help light the signal. And
she hurried on and came up to he, and he
turned round and cried: ‘Why, Nancy, love,
is it you { There’s been some victory, you may
depend.’ And she, she were out of breath
and could scarce speak; but she knew as
sure as fate her brother and his crew would
come after their prey. You see, they
worked so long together, these Dedmans,
one seemed to guess the other’s thoughts
like; and she knew as when the time went
by, and Jim did not come home,
and they saw the light on
Holder Hill, and sudden the light
on Blackdown, they would guess as how it
were Nancy; or maybe only think Jim was
there instead of coming home. However it
be, she felt they would follow up there, so
she cried: ‘Fly, Jim! fly! as quicx as you
can, down that way. No! not home! Be
off, be off! away, as far as you can go.
Take your horse and go! They’re after you
to murder ye, and I lit the fire on Holder to
turn you from going home. They be wait
ing for you, and now maybe they’ll be fol
lowing you up here. Give me your coat
and hat Jim—see, I’ve none. I’m cold. And
go,JiniT-go; I can’t go with you, Jim. Good
by, Oh, lad, Ilove you, lad!’ And the stu
pid, thick-headed fellow as he was,he took off
his long riding coat and his slouch hat and
puts them on Her, and takes her in his arms,
and she gives him one kiss and' sends him
off. He steals down as quiet as a mouse,
untethers bis nag, and off he goes London
way. And Nance? She stood with her
arms folded, her face to the fire and her
back to the path, so as her figure is seen up
against the names in an uncertain kind of
way. She was as tall as young Kemp, and
she waited there to gain time for he—a de
coy, we’ll say. She were half dazed with
what she’d gone through, and a strange sort
of awaiting feeling as kep’ her very still.
At last she heirs them coming, and never
stirs. And Dick, from behind, without
writing a minute, or taking so much as a
step for’arder, fires straight at her back,
and she falls forward, and he fires again,
and then they walked away, satisfied it were
Jim Kemp, for they seed the coat and they
never thought of Nancy.
“Well, morning came, and as they went
back and found the house empty they
thought she’d given them the slip, and they
laughed as how they had served her right;
they little knew how they had served her.
They wasn't long a laughing; the fires hail
made a bestirment, and there they’d found
Nancy Dedman —dead, shot twice through
the back. And when they brought her in
the old man fell down in a fit, but Dick ho
said naught, only when they said, ‘Had Jim
Kemp done.this foul deed?’ for nis papers
was in his pockets, Dick said, ‘How should
he know? He had allays told Nance to
have naught to do with that devil Kemp.’
“There was an inquiry, but naught came
of it. Old Dedham had another fit and died,
and Dick went over the seas, they said.
Farmer Kemp, young Jim as was, never
come hack to settle. He sold up, and no
body would have know’d a word about it
only he come once, when he was getting in
years, to look at Nancy’s grave at Hasle
mere.
“He told all as he know’d to the sexton,
Mr. Keeling, and years after, Dick came as
a stranger ami asked for the grave of Nancy
Dedman, as he had a fancy to see. Though
he was an okl gray man, much
beshakon and with naught about he
to speak of murder, Mr. Keeling, as
was a’ways one with two pair of eyes, do
term.ned on seeing justice done, and he
tracks the man to the inn, and brings the
parson, who was magistrate into the bar
gain. But the parson found a broken down
old man, and he would not make any bestir;
it were too long ago, he said. And aforo
Dick Dedman died he and the parson were
the best of friends, and from Dick parson
had it all. After Dick diet! ho felled Mr.
Keeling, who fitted in his part, and so it was
told and told again, and the tale was well
known when I was a boy, though nobody
speaks of it now.”
How Cabinet Meetings Are Con
ducted.
From an Interview with an ex-Cabinet Officer.
“What is the process in a Cabinet meet
ing of beginning the business? Docs the
President go through his Cabinet with a
system, or do they just walk around and
have a confab?”
“No. President Arthur, when the time
arrived for Cabinet conference, took his
seat at the bead of his table. Ho would
turn to the Secretary of State and say:
‘Mr Secretary of State, is there anything
in your department requiring our atten
tion?’ If the Secretary of State parsed, ho
would sav: ‘Mr. Secretary of the Treasury,
or ‘Mr. Attorney General, have you some
thing we should attend to?’ In that way he
went the rouuds, calling every man by Ills
official title. Sometimes the first man
asked would bring up a question, that would
take up the entire time of the meeting. At
other times there would be no questions in
any department requiring attention. Oft n
political questions would take the place of
more official business. A government i*
much more of a political organization than
outsiders believe. The President mvites to
his Cabinet those men who represent their
partv as well as their roiiiitey. °f course
the political discussion is in tho light of
public business as well.' 1

A FALSE SHAME.
A Boat Load of Very Modest Young
Ladies.
From the yew Orleans Picayune.
It would be well if young women were
taught early in life that there is a false
shame and an affectation of modesty os un
lovely as any coarseness, and which disgusts
and repels as effectively as brazonness. To
be on the qui vive for inunendoes, to have a
smart faculty for extracting the bitters of
evil from any good, is all wrong and
all immodest. To see harm where
harm is not intended is immod
est. The young woman who thought
she would die of shame because some gen
tlemen came into the gallery where she was
alone with the statue of the Venus of Milo,
who fell into confusion and blushed mighti
ly, advertised a modesty that was possibly
only skin deep.
A blush is something sacred to pure wo
manhood, and it is a sad spectacle for
thoughtful eyes to note a young woman so
far gone in the improprieties that, she pre
tends to be shocked at things which simple,
unaffected candor is far from thinking on
at all.
There alo otherwise modest and virtuous
young ladies who manage to convey by suit
tie insinuations that they are deeply con
scious of sounds and scenes which a truly
modest woman would ignore. It is true in
deed, as a great writer has said, that a mod
est woman must be at times both deaf and
blind. Disagreeable happenings, offensive
to eyes or ears, are at tunes incidental to
almost every one's life. The most sheltered
young lady- cannot be entirely pi-otected.
She may find herself in places where pro
fane language reaches her eai-s, where ob
jectionable sights greet her ey-es. It is then
the time for her modesty to take on an ar
mor of dignity-; it is the time for her to be
both deaf and blind.
Wtoeq Mrs. James Brown Potter recited
“ ’Ostler Joe” in Mrs. Secretary Whitney's
drawing-t : oom two winters ago, and made
the sensation of her life, she was less im
modest than the guests who listened. Young
ladies whose scant coi-sages failed to cover
their shoulder-blades put up their fans and
declared they would die of shame, and
could scarcely wait until the piece was ended
to talk it over with the gentlemen and ask
them if it was not “too horribly immodest
to endure.”
Nothing is more suggestive of a really
bold and vulgar mind than to blush behind y
a fan, peering between the sticks sharply
to see if any one has noticed the blush.
Mode ty, refined feelings and tastes are not
things of which to be proud. One should
not be proud that one is virtuous, or hon
est, or truthful, or benevolent.
It has often happened at Dr. Cbaille’s in
valuable lectures on physiology that the
Doctor used some very plain words in ad
dressing his audience. Straightway there
would be young women present who gig
gled, who began chewing their handker
chiefs in an agony of embarrassment, who
made eyes at each other, and also made sure
that the medical students present took note
of what they were doing. Dr. Chaille was
at his noble work of trying to teach such
young women to understand the marvelous
human caskets in which are enshrined their
shallow souls, but more than once his earn
estness was confronted and overcome by
such a silly, sickly demonstration of affec
ted modesty.
The day for such women, if it ever ex
isted, has gone by forever. We want our
women to be innocent but not ignorant.
Ignorance is only less unlovely than im
modesty.
There are many things in life that young
women ought to know of, and which, if they
did know, they would regard as great sol
emn truths too sacred to be giggled over,
and simpered at, which are not proper sub
jects for conversation, but whicn none the
less exist, and should be well comprehended.
For a young woman.or a young man either,
there is no safety in ignorance. The mother
assumes unwarranted responsibility who
leaves her innocent growing girls and boys
to be educated in the mysteries of life by
unthinking outsiders.
Florence Nightingale was not afflicted by
mock modesty, yot a woman of finer or
deeper virtue never lived.
The pure-minded Sisters of Charity spend
all their days in the Charity hospital, where
they attend wounded men, assist at the
births of babies, fulfill the noble duties of
ministering angels without blushing. It is
possible, however, that their pure, pale
faces would crimson indeed if they could see
the manners and hear the words of some of
our mock-modest young women.
A pitiful case of this inock-modesty occur
red right here at home last week. One after
noon a party of young ladies and gentlemen
went out sailing on the lake. A squall came up
and as they were hastening in to shore they
were hailed by some gentlemen whose boat
had capsized and who, in danger of drown
ing, were clinging for life to its slippery
sides. It seems that these young men had
been out for a deep sea bath and wore con
sequently nude. Owing to the storm they
had been in the water lor a long while and
one of the number was seized with cramps
and his alarmed companions thought he
would die before help caino. Now any 10-
year-old child who has ever tucked up his
pantalets and gon6 wading in a creek knows
that a person Peing in the water and seized
with cramps will probably die if not res
cued. As the yacht came up to the dis
tressed bathers they explained their situa
tion to those on her and begged that the sick
man might be taken aboard and a boat lie
sent from West End to their own relief. But
the mock-modest young ladies giggled and
blushed, and I dare say peeped between the
sticks of their fans, while vowing and de
claring that they couldn’t think of such a
thing. They giggled again but aid not
think to look the other way and expressed
themselves as horrified at the bnre idea of
rescuing a nude man from death. They
had no thought for tho suffering of the
groaning young follow down in the water
being upheld by his anxious, dismayed and
exhausted companions. They were too busy
giggling and commenting on the awfully
embarrassing fact that the gentleman who
desired to come on board hadn’t his ward
robe with him. No, they would rather ho
died than be saved by them in'his nude con
dition, and finally tho yacht, freighted with
enough sham sentiment and mock modesty
to sink it to the very bottom in a mile deep
of ocean water, sailed off, compromising be
tween tho proprieties and a common hu
manity by promising to send help from West
End.
It was not the fault of those young women
whoever they were, whatever they are, that,
the men they abandoned, did not die before
help came, but it is their some hon
est men and modest had a
lesson in sham purity and inno
cence and a disgusting siiiie
rior refinement and virtue net
soon forget.
Would Florence Xlgbtinguj|. Clara
Barton, would any really inghlWM kind
woman havo acted an these young women
acted f In their - person* they shamed
womanhood, by their silly affectations, they
proved themselves unworthy of a sex who
are nothing if not divinely kind and helpful
to those In ilistress. Such modesty as this
grows loosely in the soil, and it were bettor
that the ugly weed were uprooted and flung
far away.
Constant rubbing cannot wear off the
delicate lyie of the sea shell, nor can the real
purity of mind, the reul modepty of refined
womanhood be more easily worn away.
Mock modesty is twin sister to that cancer
hearted virtue which consists in not beiug
found out. Persons who affect it ure so
cial “suspects.” Beware of it, young
women, lxxiau.se it deceives no one, and be
cause if you do not, young men who are in
search of lovely wives will beware of you.
In his latest novel Mr. William Hiack
draws the portrait of a girl who is almost
the ideal gentlewoman. Iso human being ill
distress suffered if she could relieve him.
Khe could bandage a wound or set a broken
leg, and she did if bravely, quietly, mod
estly. Much a girl belongs to a glorious
typo, compand to affected, gum-chewing,
giggling gii'Ls. who do not know enough to
turn their heads the other way and be blind
when decency, and humanity, and modesty
demand. Cathajunk Cole.
