TWO MAIDENS.

The nklM were bright and tbe world was fair,
Die tall trees swayed In the mild June air.
The beos were bumming amid the flowers,
And song-birds gladdened tbe golden hours.
Two maidens wandered across tbe lea.
With hearts as huppy as hearts could bo;
They paused on a gently sloping hill
To talk or the future, as young girls will.
There came no pbautoui. no thought of pain.
To blue-eyed Leila or dark eyed Jane;
No dark rorbod ng, no dream of ill.
As they gazed afar from tbe peaceful hill
At the glorious clouds floating calmly Or
Through tho azure vault of tho heavens ou
high.
And fading fast in the morn ng a r.
Like little griefs from a worldly cam
Then Leila said: “In a future year,
In wealth and splendor I w;ll appear,
And when, on a future summer day.
My costly carriage may come this way.
The simple farmers, with strange surprise
Will gaze at me with their euvious eyes.
J'll dross iu satins and laces rare.
And brilliant diamonds shall deck my hair.
44 And I," sad Jane, “would the foud wife be
Of one who marries for love and me:
Give uie a home, and a sweetheart there—
For wealth and fasliicn l do not care.
My tastes arc simple, m > wants are few.
My hope and dream to be good and true,
My prajer, my purpose, my real intent,
A life of simple and sweet eonteut."

The summers pass and the winters wane
With flue-eyed l.eila and dark-e. ed Jane.
Where the br.lliant gas-light gleams and falls
On velvet earpet and g.lded walls.
On costly carvings and pictures rare,
A woman s.ts iu her easy chair,
Sits with a weary, vet languid grace—
The roses have Cod from her oneo-fair face.
Aii! blue eyed i.ella. your hopes were vaia.
Your years ure saddened be grief and pain,
For what is la?lilon or what is wealth

THE MYSTERY OF PRESTON FLAT.
BY JOHN n. R4XJSICK.
LCoevitioirr. 1886, by thk A. N. KkllogO
Nkwspapkb Company.]
CHAPTER XIV.—CosTINUEa
“Wa’ll, Bill, did ye bring him?*’
asked a voice which Walter recognized
as Jack Hawkins’. He could now un
derstand the strange affinity between
the farmer Hawkins and Bill Martin.
“I did,” Bill answered.
**Js he all right?”
“Yes, he’ll jinc us; he can’t help it.*
The team was hitched, Bill got out
and Walter did the same. They then
repaired to the cabin. Walter moved
and acted like one under some strange
spell, some irrisistible force seemed
driving him on to ruin. Inside the
cabin they were all grouped together,
and a pian for the robbery of the Bush
villc bank laid. Walter had his part
assigned him, An hour passed Jn which
the plot was fully laid and all arrange,
ments made.
“You understand it all now, young
man,” said Jack Hawkins, in a voice
of thunder, as he laid his hand roughly
on Walter's shoulder.”
“Y—y—yes;” stammered Walter.
“You can either jine in and help us
or swing to the nearest tree.”
It was a choice between death and
dishonor—which should he accept?
CHAPTER XV.
UNCLE DAN'S PREDICTION.
Carefully as Mr. Miles had kept his
opinion of Walter Brownfield locked
in his own heart, his very manner
aroused the suspicion of his family that
somethin'; was wrong. The coolness
with which Walter was treated was per
ceived by all, and both old heads and
young began to put many strange things
together.
Finkey Miles perhaps suffered more
on account of the youth than any other
member of the family. Her naturally
sympathetic heart went out to the un
fortunate Walter when he came there
a few weeks before, a homeless wan
derer. Ilis face was so pale and so
sad, he looked so weary and friendless,
she could not help pitying him. Then
when she discovered in hint the true
f;erm of manhood, a noble heart, and
lighly intellectual brain, then was ad
miration mingled with her pity, lie
was her ideal of true manliness. How
different when compared with the rough
clownish fellows of Preston Flat, who
seemed to know nothing save to run
horses on Sunday and attend corn
huskings. In form he was more slen
der than they, not nearly so muscular,
but liis genteel, well-bred air contrasted
Grange lv with the rough rude youths of
Preston Flat. The Flat had its bullies and
heroes whose achievements were with
the list. Walter was Pinkey’s hero, but
far different. He was a refined hero.
“Could b.e be so bad?” was the ques
tion which arose in her mind again and
again. Was it possible that ne who
was so gentle anu kind would associate
himself with men whose whole aim
was plunder and bloodshed?
Although Mr. Miles had not charged
Walter, nor hinted at his suspicions to
his family, yet Pinkey knew as well
that he had suspicions as if she had
heard them. Site had read of men
being deceitful, and playing the part
of good men when in reality they were
knaves at heart, but Walter could be
playing no such part; his manner was
perfectly natural.
Scandal had begun to whisper from
neighbor to neighbor that the pale
youth knew more about the robbery of
the Californian than he would dare to
tell.* All these rumors were kept from
the ears of Mr. Brown. The wounded
man still kept his bed, though his arm
was healing and he was otherwise do
ing well. Walter seldom went into
his room, for he felt that there was a
vague suspicion in the family that lie
was one of the would-be murderers.
If his mental suffering was great
Pin key's was equally so. She seldom
saw Walter and never more than spoke
to him. She dared not trdst herself to
speak with him. in tiie old confidential
way. Bitterly did her mind recall the
many pleasant hours spent in his com
pany, and above all that delightful
ride through the forest road to church,
and return. Walter noticed her re
served manner and misinterpreted it.
“She, too, mistrusts me.” ne said to
himself, as he sat upon his favorite
block behind the barn. “They all sus
pect me; they all think nte* a thief;
they all think me a murderer. Piukey
mistrusts me with the rest. Oh! what
have I done to deserve this?” he
groaned.
As he sat there he wondered if the
great and good Father, who watches
over all, had forsaken him. That
tainted mother, who now slept in her
grave, had taught him when a child to
call on the Lord in his lpur of trouble
anil He would pot forsake him. Walter’s
heart was full and he prayed to God to
have mercy on him and bring him out
pure through this fiery ordeal. All was
dark; no star could he seen in the hori
zon. Walter tnoved and geted like one
in a dream.
One afternoon Pinkey Miles put on
her calico sun-bonnet, which made her
tweet face find dark eye* more beauti
ful than ever, and went across the field ,
to the hut of her Uncle Daniel Hodge,
who wai in reality a pensioner on Mr
Miles’ bounty. She found Uncle Dan
iel and Aunt Margaret in the kitchen,
the good old man sitting in his favorite
arm-chair with his stout cane in his
hand. Aunt Margaret was paring ap
files, her round pink face showing but
ew wrinkles, and the neat old-fash
ioned cap making the good old woman
look pretty.
“Good morn in’, good mornin’,
Pinkey; bles* your soul, come in ami
have a seat, ’ said Uncle Dan as she
came to thf door.
“Why, Pinkey,” said the old lady,
“how glad I am to s c ye; do come in
and have a seat. You must be tired
crossin’ the fields.”
“O, no, Aunt Margaret, I am not,”
Pinkey answered, a smile on her beau
tiful f ace. “A walk across the field,
which can’t be more than a mile at
most, doesn’t weary me.”
“Well, well set "down anyhow, and
tell me all the news. What’s the latest
front Bush villc?”
“There is nothing, Uncle Dan,” said
Pinkey.
“How’s Mr. Brown
“Better; we all think he’ll be ablu to
go about soon,” said Pinkey, her eyes
drooping sadly at the mention of the
wounded Californian’s name.
“Hev -they never found the man
what did it?” asked Aunt Margaret
“No.”
“That does all seem strange, some
how,” said Uncle Dan, shaking his
head, knowingly. “1 can’t understand
it all, but it will come out all right 1
reckon.”
•‘Are they still trying to find the
men?” asked Aunt Margaret.
‘•1 presume they are. The sheriff is
at our house consulting with father and
Mr. Brown every few days,” said
Pinkey. As she spoke her beautiful
dark eyes were bent upon the floor.
“Hev ye heard what the people have
been saying about yer hand?” asked
Aunt Margaret.
“Who?” asked Pinkey, as her heart
gave a great leap. She unsuccessfully
feigned ignorance.
“Why. Walter Brownfield.”
“No,'' she answered, yet her con
science smote her. She aluio it felt as
if she had spoken falsely. She knew
not why. The rumor was iu the air;
she knew it, yet it had failed to reach
her ear in any distinct form.
“What about him?” asked Uncle
Dan.
‘•They say as how he did it,” an
swered Aunt Margaret.
“Did what?” And Uncle Dan spoke
harshly. He was not cross to Aunt
Margaret, But ho just betrayed the
least anxiety to know what some one
had said, with the preconceived idea
of denying it.
“Why, that ho knocked tho stranger,
Mr. Brown, down, with the inteutiou
of robbing him.”
Uncle Dan sprang to his feet and
brought his cane down on the floor
with a whack, that threatened to cither
break it or drive it through.
“Don’t repeat that again, mother,”
he said, “it's all false. I know it is
false, and it’s almost same as lyin’ to
repeat what a lyin’ tongue has said.
Walter Brownfield is a gentleman, and
the equal of anybody in the land. A
cloud hangs over him now, I feel it, 1
know it, and so does he, Lilt I predict
that he will rise above this adversity,
and come out as gold that has passed
through the fiery furnace,”
Pinkey looked at Ucic Daniel. O,
how she"thanked him for those words!
How she wished she could proclaim hi
prcdiction from the house-tops, to al
the world! It was what she hersell
felt, but dared not utter.
Uncle Daniel had unknowingly ex
pressed her very thoughts; as sh
turned her large beautiful eyes upon
the old man, the unbidden tear,
flowed down her cheeks. Aunt
Margaret was alarmed, and asked
what was,the matter, but this was a
joyous grief too sacred to be shared, by
even the best of friends; and, hiding
her face in her handkerchief, the girl
left the room.
CHAPTER XVL
DISCHARGED.
Walter, in the midst of those dark
dangerous men, felt that his life was
not worth a moment’s purchase. The
lonely cabin was in the deepest, gloom
iest recess *s of the forest, and the men
whose trade was blood were grouped
about hint, U did not consider his
own safety for a moment; hut the ques
tion was which way could he serve
Mr. Small weed, the banker, best. His
common sense at once told him that
joining tho baud and then betraying
them would be the surest way to ifilve
the banker’s life and property. He
would lose his life any wav. and ho
had better lose it to some advantage.
Those dark, fierce men, of whom there
w'ere seven, would be sure to murder
him if he refused, and if he betrayed
them they would be doubly sure to do
so. He consented to aid them, and
apparently entered into their plan with
considerable zeal.
When the meeting broke up, and
Walter once more took his place on the
wagon seat by Bill Marlin, he could
scarcely believe himself awake; could
it be that he had identified hiqisoli
with a band of burglars and murder
ers? He had read of such people and
such organizations, but supposed they
existed only in the imagination of some
author, Here he had met a real baud
of outlaws, more terrible and danger
ous than the blood-and-thunder novel
ist could paint them. He was silent,
and Bill spoke not a word during the
drive Lome.
The other members of the gang were
worthless fellows who lived chiefly by
hunting and tramping, and spent all
their time and money in a saloon s t
Busliville, Jack Hawkins was the
leader and the brain power of the
gang. Never had Walter dreamed
that Jack could be so cruel, as he
looked on that night; when he held the
sharp point of his knife over Walter's
heart, and swore that if he ever proved
false to them he would drive it to the
hilt.
It was late when Bill Martin drove
up to the farm of Jack Hawkins.
‘‘Won’t you git out an’ stay all
Uight?”
“I had better go on to Mr. Mile* to
night, they might think it strange if I
did not come,” said Walter.
“That’s so, Walt,” said Bill. “I'm
glad to see ye’ve got an eye to the
safety o’ the band. Remember now,
mum’s the word."
“I understand,” said Walter.
“The man who turns traitor must
die—that’s the oath.”
“I understand it, Bill.”
“Remember that Wednesday night
we meet to make a grand haul. Help
me an’ve kin buy ole Miles an’ his gat,
too; fail us nn’" ye’ll git a wooden
suit.”
Walter assured him he was true, all
right, said every thing that would al
lay Bill’s fears, and hurried up the road
toward the farm-house of Mr. Miles. It
was midnight and the air was frosty.
Those autumn nights were clear and
cold, jhe stars shone brightly from
the heavens, and as Walter saw them
he wondeied whether he should gaze
upon them two weeks hence, or would
he till a felon’s grave?
“Why, O why, am I so persecuted?”
bo asked himself. “Never before did I
know the full force of a bad name.
Bill Martin heard that I had been
charged with larceny at Queenstown,
and supposed tue a suitable person for
this diabolical burglary—a burglary in
which I am appointed to commit mur
der.” lie shuddered, and we need not
wonder.
The road was eold, dark and silent;
wben he came to the great farm-house,
the dog barked furiously until bo
recognized Walter, and then with a
joyous whine, sprang forward to greet
him. The house was silent. IV alter
found a door unbolted, by which ho
entered, and going to his room retired
to bed. He slept none that night.
His mind was harassed by doubts and
fears. At one time he almost came to
the conclusion of taking Farmer Miles
into his confidence, but then, knowing
that he lacked discretion and ex
perience, he abandoned the idea. He
finally concluded to take only the one
man into his confidence who was the
most int. rested—that was the banker
Snuallwecd. It was dawn before
Walter slept the sleep brought on by
exhaustion. He was aroused from his
slumbers by John Miles shaking him
bv the shoulder, saying:
’ “See here, sir; ye better git up if ye
want any breakfast.”
Walter started up, rubbing his eyes
and without a word arose and dressed
himself.
“Feedin's all done an breakfast
readv,” said John.
Walter went down to the well and
drew a bucket of cold water from it,
and, though the morning air was sting
ing cold, proceeded to wash his face
ami arrange his toilet in the rear yard.
*• Were you at the village yesterday?”
asked Mr. Miles, coming up to Walter.
“Yes. sir,” Walter answered, and
his eyes fell as lie remembered m what
business he was engaged. “I perhaps
did wrong in going to the village witn
out your Consent. O How! he wished
he had not gone at all.
“It was all right,” the farmer re
plied. But try as he would, Walter
could not meet the eyes of his em
ployer.
Kir. Brown, the wounded man, came
out to the breakfast table for the first
time since he was brought to the house.
Pinkey did not come into the diniug
roorn. Breakfast passed in silence,
an l then Walter rose and retired to the
barn to prepare for the day’s work.
“I say, Walter, I want to see vou,”
said Mr" Miles, coming from the "bouse
toward him.
“You haven’t been here quite a
month yet, have you?”
“No, sir,” Walter answered, feeling
a choking sensation in the throat.
“ Well here is a full mouth's wages,
I don’t want a hand any more.” Mr.
Miles handed him the money and
turned away.
“I hope, sir,” said Walter, “that X
have not displeased you?”
“No, Walter” was the farmer’s re
ply, jn a tone full of sadness “I have
no cause to complain of your work,”
“ Has my conduct been unbecoming
a farm-laborer, Mr, Miles?”
The farmer was puzzled for an an
swer, He paused a moment while his
head was bowed with painful thought.
“No; you havo always behaved very
well about here, but—that —is—well
hang it! I don’t want a hand.”
“ That is all right, Mr. Milos, you
have a perfect right to discharge mo
whenever you see fit; but I hope we
may be friends. You have boen very
xiud to me.”
Mr. Miles tried to speak, but utter
ance failed him; at length, after a spell
of trying to cough up, or swallow
down, something in his throat, the
farmer said: “ Yes, I’ll always be the
best friend ye’ve go(” and" turning
walked away toward the hopse.
Walter enteyod the house and gathi
ered up his small bundle of neat clean
clothes and left. A sigh escaped his
lips as he passed through the front
gate. Looking baok he saw a pale,
sorrowful face at tho front window.
He knew that face only too well, and
the look of pity depicted thereon
moved his heart. Poor Walter wa9
once more a wanderer. The very
thing he most dreaded had befallen
him. He was again homeless. Where
should he go? His plan was formed,
aud that plan was also in harmony
with tiie plan of the outlaws. He would
go direct to Bush villc, and stop at the
village tavern until he could get an
opportunity to inform Mr. Small weed
of his danger.
CHAPTER XVIL
THE INTERVIEW.
Walter went to the house of Jack
Hawkius, and informed him that he
had been discharged by Farmer Miles.
“He bounced ye, did he, eh?” asked
Jack, with a grin on his face.
“Yes,” said Waltei*, ‘'l was dis
charged aud I certainly did not merit
it.”
“Well, ole Milos must hev got a
kinder suspicion, ye know,” said Jack.
“But it'll all come out fair in the end;
ye go to Bushvllle an' look about ye
sharp there. Dress up in yer best an’
Call on Mr. Smallwood; may be ye kin
git a place in the bank as clerk; ef ye
can’t ye kin git near enough to see
how the doors ar’ hung, an’ the best
way to get in. The other boys ’ud
jist give the thing away ef they ’ud try
that part You ar’ the only one in the
band who could do it”
This was the course that Walter had
laid out for himself; yet with a far dif
ferent design from tiiat intended by
Jack Hawkins. He bade Jack good
bye and trudged on to the village. The
heart of Walter Brownfield was much
heavier than it was a month ao, when
he came along this very road seeking
employment as a farm Jianfl. True,
then he was 'penniless and actually
suffering with hunger; blit now an un
known, indefinable dread had seized
his heart. He passed several neigh
bors, who knew him, and suen expres
sions as—
“Qu the tramp again, eh?”
“Givin’ the road a lick, eh?”
“What, runnm’ away?”
“ Good-bye, Walter,” an 4 k hun
dred others greeted his ears. His face
flushed, until it almost seemed on fire,
yet lie restrained his temper. To some
of the more sympathetic of l\is friends
he answered politely, informing them
that, for the present, he would sojourn
at the village.
The quaint littlo country town wa?
reached at last, and, weary and heart
sore, Walter proceeded at once to the
small tavern, where he secured board
for a week at two dollars and fifty
cents. He saw Jack Hawkins and
Pill Martin, \yho had evidently stepped
in to see if the new recruit wiis getting
in his work well. They did not con
verse with him, but he felt that their
eyes were constantly upon him. He
shuddered as he noticed the two vil
lains watching his every movement.
Walter went to the bank of Mr.
Smallwecd and stood about the door
for some time. The ruffians supposed
that he was making an examination of
the vault, with a view to aiding them
ip the burglary,
ujaek,” said Bill.
“Well, arhat?”
“He’s going to work likt a trump.”
“Makes a good stark”
<Yon bet.
"Hist!”
“What?” asked Bill.
“The constable is not far behind us.”
“Blast him,” said Bill, “I would like
to give him one whack with my sling
shot.”
“He keeps round like he has suspi
cion o’ us. ’
“No, he ain’t; let’s go up here and
Watch Walt,”
Walter had entered the bank build
ing, and they could not see him. He
intended to make them believe tiiat he
was doing their bidding, and yet to
avoid meeting them personally.
"1 have evidently satisfied them that
I am working iu their interest,” said
Walter, as he returned to the small,
miserable tavern, determined to see
Mr- Smallweed and convince him ol
his danger.
(TO JUI CONTINUED.)
THE WITCH’S FATE.
A Cruel Prejudice of Old Times More
Thau Equaled Now.
Not many decades ago in this country,
the people were excited over witchcraft.
Persons suspected were thrown into the
water; if not witches, they would drown;
if they were witches, they would swim
ashore, and would be put to death in any
event they were doomed.
Not many years ago if a person were
taken sick with advanced disorder of the
kidneys, the physician would pronounce
the disease Bright’s disease, and when
so declared, he regarded his responsibility
at au end, for medical authority admitted
that the disease was incurable.
When the physician found the patient
thus afflicted, he would say, “Oh, a slight
attack of the kidneys; will be all right in
a little while.” He knew to the contrary.
But if he could keep his patient on his
hands for a few months, he knew he
would derive a great revenew from his
case, and then when the disease had pro
gressed to a certain stage, he would state
the facts and retire, exhonorated from all
blame.
But the error of supposing the disease
incurable, has swayed the public mind,
long alter the fact has ceased to be. But
public opinion, has been educated to the
true status ot the case by those who have
discounted the incurability theory, and
the public recognizes and testifies to the
fact that Warner’s safe cure is a specific
for this disease. This has been shown
with thousands of testimonials.
Upon referring to them iu our files we
find that $5,000 reward will be given to
any one who can prove that so far as the
manufactuers know they are not genuine,
and that hundreds of thousands similar
in character could be published, if it were
necessary. *
This condition of things is very amus
ing to the journalist, who looks upon all
sides of every question. Proof should be
accepted by all, but predjudice fights
proof for many years. It seems strange
that when a proprietary medicine rs doing
the good that Warner’s safe cure is that
the physicians do not publicly endorse it.
Many of them, we are told, privately
prescribe it.
A few years ago, as stated, when a man
had Bright’s disease, the doctor boldly
announced it, because he thought it re
lieved him of responsibility.
To-day when prominent people are
dying (and hundreds of thousands of com
mon people die of the same disease), we
are told that doctors disguise the tact that
it is Bright’s disease of the kidneys and
say that they die of paralysis, of apoplexy,
of pneumonia, of consumption, of general
debility, of rheumatism, of heart disease,
of blood poisoning, or some other of the
names of the direct effects of kidney dis
ease. They are not the real disease itself.
We sometimes wonder if they avoid
stating the real cause of the disease for
fear they will drive the public into pat
ronage of the only scientific proprietary
specific for kidney diseases and the thou
sand and one diseases that originate in
inactiye kieneys.
We do not believe every advertisement
we read. Some people perhaps may re
gard this article as an advertisement and
will not believe it, but we are candid
enough to say that we be ieve the parties
above mentioned have stated their case
and proved it, and under such circum
stances fhe public is unwise if it is longer
.nfluenced by adverse prejudice.

A gentleman recently returned from
Atlanta tells a good story at the expense
of Henry W. Grady, of the Constitution.
Grady was telling a story about a cele
brated vendetta at the tea-table, conclud
ing by saying : “The two men approach
ed each other with bowie knives. Stimul
taneously they plunged the gleaming
blades into each otherls hearts—”
“Henry,” interrupted Mrs. Grady, with
a meaning glance, “the blessing please.”
With a meek face the orator said : “O
Lord, make us truly grateful for what we
are about to receive—and Mr. Blank—
theb ood spurted out and both men fell
dead in the street.”
The mail carrier on the route between
Milton and Clinton, a distance of twelve

The general passenger agent of a New
York railroad sent a preaoher a pass not
long ago, and received the following by
the next mail; “Your favor is rec ived
containing clerical pass No. 98 for 1887
Many thanks forso useful a card. When
it will be yours to board the train to
journey into the world unseen, may the
General Passenger Agent of the Earth
and Heaven Air Line grant you a free
pass check subscribed with bis own
band.” There are many passenger
agents who would like to scoop that air
line.
The decision of Judge Van Epps, that
wine could not be sold by the drink even
in licensed wine rooms, has greatly dis
turbed the wine room keepers of Atlanta.
Half a dozen of them are under indict
ments for selling by the drink, and they
fear that SI,OOO fines will be imposed up
ea each of them.
A secret meeting of the wine men was
held Monday night for the purpose of con -
sidering the situation. The first impulse
was to fight the law light along as they
had done in the past, but more conserva
tive counsel prevailed, aud a sensational
conclusion was arrived at. It was to the
effect that since prohibition is a law’, and
the principal patrons of the wine-room3
were ardent prohibitionists on e ection
day, that it would be in order to give the
law a fail trial; it was held that the best
way to punish these prohibitionists would
be to cut off their supplies. Therefore
each member pledged himself to a full en
forcement of the law from now on until
the election next October. Under this
resolution, wine, only in quart bottles,
will be sold, and it must be carried away
by the purclinser. No drinks will bo
mixed, whether in the shape of sodas,
lemonades or milk preparations; nothing
but artegian water will be furnished.
This will be tlie first time that general |
prohibition will be experienced.
Great preparations are quietly under
way already for the election to be held in
October. Each side has money laid away I
for the canvass.
