Fern Cottage! that is what the
neighbors called it; perhaps, be
cause of the profusion of terns
that the occupant always had
around her. A strange idea these
simple rustics thought, while yet
they admired the featBUy beau
ties ; and stranger still, that dai
sies, in their season should find
a prominent place within the cot
tage.
It stood at the end of the lane
with a hill for the background,
crowned with tall stalwart trees
which seemed like so many sen
tinels guarding the enchanting
spot. The house was not one of
these squffire, box like structures
which make one long for some
irregularity to break the painful
ly accurate and rigid outline, but
presented a cozy, home like ap
pearance, with a bay 'window
here, a small portico there, an
alcove here and a gable end
there, thus furnishing various
nooks and corners. Only one
lonely woman occupied Fern Cot
tage. Lonely did I say ? That
was a mistake for she had no
more to be lonely. Many there
were who came and to her sym
pathizing ear with their tales of
sorrow and disappointment; and
many were the deeds of mercy
performed by her loving hands,
so that the country people came
to call her “sister.” Little was
known of the first years of her
life, for she came to Glendale in
her early womanhood calling her
self Daisy Fern, and, though her
face was so sweet and winning,
yet it had an indefinite something
which prevented even the most
curious from asking impertinent
questions. And thus she lived a
quiet busy life, now attending to
her simple household duties, now
sitting beside a sick bed cheering
the invalid, and again, talking
with some child whose interested
face bore witness to sister Daisy’s
skill in wood painting.
It was toward the close of a long
summer day that a young girl
tripped lightly up the cool, woody
path that led to the cottage. The
dear lady was seated in the door
way with knitting work in hand,
but her eyes had a dreamy far
away look. She welcomed the
girl with her usual gentle smile,
but there was a tinge’ of sadness
in it to-day. After a little pause
Grace said impulsively, “Sister,
how did you happen to be called
Daisy Fern ? I imagine there’s a
story connected with the name,
and may I hear it ?” Hesitating a
moment sister Daisy replied :
“Yes, dear Grace, I’ll tell you
a part of the story, as perhaps,
hereafter you may like to recall
some thoughts in it.
“It seems but yesterday when
first I received this name, though
in reality many long years have
elapsed, and to-day adds one
more to the list. We, father,
Carl and I, were down at the
seashore living a charming out
door life for a few weeks and en
joying it, oh, so much! F riends
had followed our example, and
so we had our own home society
added to the charms of a seaside
life. And how much of enjoy
ment we did crowd into those
llceting hours! Never were clams
and fishes more obliging; sail
boats never glided more swiftly
over the clear waters; never were
merrier excursions and more en-
jovable bathing could not be
found. But most delightful of all
to me were the rambles we had,
Carl and I, over the hills and in
to tho woods, now skipping over a
noisy little streamlet, now clam
bering a rocky cliff with many a
jest and laughing retort. It was
at such times that Carl would spin
for me his sailor's yarns, add read
to me out of his Nature's book,
translating the prose into poetry,
and gathering to gether the gems
of thought Which his quick eye so
easily detected.
That the happy days passed all
too' quickly, and the time ap
proached when Carl must leave
us. As a sort of farewell to him
Molly Huntingham proposed that
w e should, have one more picnic on
a neighboring island, be gone most
of the day as the place could
boast of various amusements,
and have the “very best time
possible.” One feature of the oc
casion was that each gentleman
should present his lady with his
lavorite flowy, which she should
wear as her only ornament during
the day. The idea was novel and
took well, occasioning much plan
ning on the one hand, and won
dering on the other, as to what
the flowers might be. I could
not guess what would be mine ;
for Carl was passionately fond of
all flowers, only I was sure of
something sweet and beautiful.
“The next morning, just as I
was putting on my hat to join the
merry troupe outside, Carl came
in, and without saying a word,
smilingly handed me a belt of
ferns and daisies. At another
time I should have called it very
pretty, as indeed it was ; but now
these lowly ferns and common
daisies were so different trom what
I had secretly expected, that, no
doubt, my face betrayed disap
pointment, for Carl presently said
in a low yoice: ‘Be patient, little
one, and bye and bj T e I will tell
you the reason of my choice.’ So
I pinned the band of green and
white around my waist, placed a
bunch of the same at my throat,
aud hasteued out to meet the im
patient young people calling to us. j
More than once I felt slightly an--
noyed when looking at the beauti
ful, gayly-colored flowers which
the other girls wore. Nor was the
feeling much allayed by the
assurance that the design ‘was so
sweet ami pretty, and the flowers
just suited me in more ways than
one.”
“That day was long to be re
membered by us all, lor a more
joyous, perfect pleasure we bad
net had during the whole summer.
But my happiest time was the
brief half-hour spent with Cjrl
upon a lofty cliff overlooking the
wide, blue sea, so calm that day
that it looked like a vast sheet of
glass, reflecting with wonderous
clearness the soft, fleecy clouds
sailing in the blue depths above. I
little thought how precious the
remembrance of those golden mo
ments would be to me afterward ;
how little an oasis in a great
dreary desert that time would ap
pear. It was here that my sailor-
boy explained to me the meaning
of my despised ornaments.
“The ferns, Annie, as you know,
grow in dark, shady places, where
only occasionally, if ever, they
receive the kiss of the sun’s rays,
and some of the most beautiful
grow in the darkest nooks. And.
moreover, they not merely grow
but really flourish and bear abun
dant fruit, while they cling to the
hard, rugged reck thus “hiding
many of their roughnesses by their
beauty. One might almost
catch their whisper,
‘be patient and brave, even though
you’ - lot be cast in shadow’s
or sequestered spot. Always look
up and bear fruit. Be not dissat
isfied because you are only a fern
instead of a great, tall oak for He
has need also of the ferns.’ And
then the dear, little daisies, with
petals as white as the new-fallen
snow, and heart of gold ! Gan you
not see the words written on their
very faces, ‘pure gold,’ white
emblem of purity, aud j^llow
color of gold ? Be ‘pure gold’ in
joy and “sorrow: be ‘pure gold’
everywhere and always. Are your
holiday adornments any more
pleasing, little girl ?
“Not many hours after, Carl left
me to cross the great sea, so calm,
so beautiful, and yet, oh, so treach
erous ! My brave sailor boy left
me and never came back again.
After that, I hated the placid,
smiliflg water, which seemed to
mock me with its beauty and
gentleness; and so when father
went awav to be with mother I
came to live among the ferns and
daisies. At the same time, I drop
ped my real name-, so intimately
connected with all that is peace
ful and jovous, and took the name
that Carl last called me with all
its depth of meaning. And that
is how' my name came to be Daisy
Fern.”
THE COW BOYS’ DUEL.
How Mr. Darts of Philadelphia Proved
ThatHe Is Not a “Northern Coward.”
Camp Bio Pecos (S. M.) Cor. It. Y. Sun.
Gus Davis of Philadelphia
came here some months ago, and
was engaged as a cattle herder by
Mr. John Shure, a wealthy stock
owner. Davis soon showed him
self to be a useful man, and gain
ed the esteem of liis employer
and the envy of the other herders.
In less than three montes he had
resisted so many temptations to
quarrel with his Mexican associ
ates that he was nicknamed “The
Northern Coward.
One morning about three weeks
ago, while Davis was on duty
looking after his cattle, Jesus
Garcia, a Mexican saluted him, as
usual, with “Good morning North
ern Coward.”
Human endurance has its limit,
and Mr. Davis thought he had
been insulted long enough. The
Mexican was at first surprised at
the stand taken by the Philadel
phian, but xvord brought on word,
until each determined that the
other must die.
The quarrel soon brought all the
neighboring cowboys to the spot.
The mode of combat w r as speedily
arranged.
A chain thirty inches l6ng was
securely locked about their necks.
A Mexican dagger, a two-edged
knife six inches long, was given to
each of the duelists. The obliging
cowboys then lowered the men in
to a dog canyon, a descent ot seven
ty-five feet. There they were to
remain until one killed the other.
A key to the lock was given to each
and no one was allowed to inter
fere further. The rest of the cow
boys then went to work as if noth
ing unusual had occurred.
For some days nothing was
known as to the result of the en
counter. Yesterday, however,
Davis, very weak and emaciated,
returned to camp, dragging after
him the lifeless body of Jesus
Garcia. -
The stofv Mr. Davis tells is as
follows: 'the fight begun as soon
as we readied the bottom of the
canyon. Being locked together^
each was always in reach of the
other's hriife.- After such delib
erations as the few moments dur
ing our descent permitted, I de
cided that unless the first blow
was fatal, the chances were de
cidedly in favor of the party as
sailed! I accordingly allowed the
Mexican to strike the first blow.
He plunged the knife into my
side. As soon as I found his arm
was stretched forward, I cut the
muscles of his right arm near the
shoulder. Immediately his knife
dropped. While he was stooping
to pick up the knife I sent my
blade into his body from the back.
Before I could strik again he had
picked up his knife and cut the
cords of my arms so as to render
them both useless,
‘ Here we both stood for a few
seconds, when I discovered that
his heart had been reached. His
body soon fell in the death strug
gle to the ground. The chain was
so short that he brought me down
with him In a few minutes he
was dead. I was so weak from
loss of blood that I lay down by
his side. We lay there for five
days and nights, until hunger
drove me to make a last effort. I
climed the steep incline of the
walls of the canyon and reached
the camp, carrying Garcia on my
back. •
A Double Murder,
A horrible tale of a double mur
der comes to us from Rockster-
ville, a suburb of Savannah. A
German and his wife kept a store
there. On Sunday morning their
bodies were fount! butchered in
the most cold-blooded manner.
The couple had been married only
about nine or ten months, and by
their industry and frugality had
established a good business.
The following is taken from the
Savannah News, and will converv
an idea of the fiendishness of the
murder:, . ’
“On entering the store, the body
of the murdered man was found
lying on the*floor, in a pool of
blood, in front of the counter. His
skull was crushed in and a lofig
deep gash extended across the
back of his head. His throat bore
the marks of fingers. Across his
eyes and around his head a hand
kerchief was closely tied, com
pletely blindfolding him. From
all appearances he was in the act
of drawing a measure of syirap
from a barrel, and while stooping
down was struck the fatal blow.
He fell on his back, where he Jay
until discovered yesterday morn
ing.
In the parlor, adjoing the store,
lay the corpse of the dead man’s
wife—soon to become a mother—
presenting a sickening spectacle as
she reclined on a sofa, saturated
with blood from her young life.
Her body bore marks of the most
horrible and brutal treatment.
Three deep gashes on the face ex
tended from both sides of the
temple to the chin, while her skull
was cut open and the brain exuded.
Her left arm was nearly severed
trom the body, probably trown up
to defend herself against her as
sailant. She wore a loose calico
wrapper, and was apparently
about to retire, waiting no doubt
for her husband. The sight of
husband and wife was one not soon
to be forgtten as they lay in their
home slaughtered by fiends in hu
man shape.
The murdered man was about
thirty-eight years old and was a
native of Germany. He came to
this country about six years ago,
first going to Chattanooga, where
lie remained about a year, when
lie came to Savannah, and obtain
ed a situation as barkeeper with
Mr. Charles Seller. He w as after
wards employed in a smimilar
capacity with George Gemunden
and A. Basler. By frugal habits
and strict economy he managed to
save up a little money, and about
twelve months ago bought out the
store he owned at the time of his
death.”
Two parties have been arrested
on suspicion—both negroes—and
lodged in jail to await for further
developments.”

Det roit Free Press.
A year or more ago, as the fore
man of one of the iron works of
this city was crossing the yard one
day, he espied a little skip of a
boy, seemingly not over 11 years
old, seated on a big fly-wheel and
chewing the end of bitter reflec
tion.
“Who are you?” “I’m Jack.”
“What are you doing here ?”
“Resting.” “What do you want ?”
“A job.”
Those were the questions and
answers. The boy was pale and
ragged, but in his stael blue eyes
the foreman saw game. And, too,
the idea of a waif like him setting
out to battle with the world touch
ed a tender chord in the heart of
the man who had boys of bis own,
and he set Jack to work in the
yard.
No one thought the boy would
stay a week, and no one cared to
ask where he came from or who
he was. But he stuck. He was
hard working and faithful, and, as
the'weeks went by, he gained
friends. One day he walked up
to'the foreman and said;
“I want to learn the trade.”
“You? Ha! ha! ba! Why,
Jack; you are not big enough to
handle a cold chisel.”
“I can whip any ’prentice boy
in this shop!” was the earnest
declaration.
“Just hear him! Why any of
the lot could turn you wrong side
out! When you get big enough
to whip the smallest one, you
come to me for a job.”
At noon that day Jack walked
up to the biggest apprentice boy
in the shop and said:
“Come out doors.”
“What do you want?”
“I’m going to lick you.”
“What for?”
“Because, I want a chance to
learn the trade.”
The two went out, and, in sight
twenty witnesses, little Jack won
a victory. At 1 o’clock he touched
his cap to the foreman and said:
“I’ve licked your biggest pren
tice, and want to go to work.”
Ten minutes later he had
become a machinest’s apprentice,
and if voh go in there to-day you
will find him with greasy hands,
oily face, and a head full of busi
ness ideas. Jack carries the key3
to the drawers where the steam-
guages, safety-valves, and other
trimmings are kept; and he knows
the use of every tool, Abe work
ings of every piece of machinery,
and there is a constant call for
Jack here and Jack there. Before
he is twenty he will be a finished
machinist, and before he is twenty
five he will be foreman of some
great shop. He is quiet, earnest,
respectful and observing. What
he does is well done. What he is'
told he never forgets.
And here in Detroit are hun
dreds-ef boys, who complain that
there is no chance for them, even
when backed by money and in
fluence. They wait and wait and
whine and complain, and leave it
for waifs like little Jack to
call up the game in their souls,
and walk boldly into ’a great
manufacturing works and say:
“Fm here—I want a jot!”’
