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. Grady AAg the Itlwlng. Boston Tiave’er.] 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 miles, is a darky who walks. He makes the trip there and return every day except Sunday. The other day your correspon dent interviewed him. “ Pretty tight walk eh‘?” “Well, some time it’s purty ha'd. Mos’ gin’ly, though, I don’ count de distunce.” “There is a railroad run niug there now. Why don’t you carry it on the train?” ‘ Well, you see, it’s dig way : I done got de contrack fu’ de ca’in de mail, an’ less’n I give it up in de fus’ place I don’ spec to give it up twel de time’s out. Den ag’in, can’t fo'd to wait on dat train. I done settin’ down, res’in at Clinton, ’lo’ de train git dere.”—Atlan ta Constitution. Cuat of Iguoriince. Absence of knowledge of the fact that physical and mental weakness, indiges tion, impure blood, aud sick-beadaclie can be averted by Dr. Hartfr’s Iron Tonic, costs millions of money annually for uncertain aud unreliable decoctions. ___ 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. The COURANT-AMERICAN CIRCUEATION, 2,200. largest of any paporinthe section oi tlie State in which it is published. A BOON for ADVERTISERS, A.
