THE RED SCAR.
nv WALLACE f. RKED.
When i found myself stranded, so so
s|M'.ik, in the heart of Yucatan, 1 wu
rather pleased than otherwise.
I had been writing up the quaint old
ruins of that strange land fora New York
paper, and had turned iny face home
ward, when I rcieived n letter requesting
me to wait at San Pablo for further in
structions.
San Paldo intero l<*l me. It was u
sleepy old Spanish village, with a big
cathedral, a pla/u with the usual coller
tiou of ndobe houses around it, and a
lmrkground of snow rapped mountains
rising boldly from a I and -e ape of torrid
summer heats.
It was lu re that I met with the most
pil/./lin;' e\perienec: of my life.
I was r turning from a solitary ride
among the hills. The declining sun
warned me that, darkness would over
take me if I diil not make haste, hut as
I could see in the distame ti e massive
tower' of the cathedral, 1 felt no uneasi
ness.
At one place my lonely road or mule
path skirled a deep ravine, which was so
choki I up with a thick, scrubby under
growth that I was unable to see anything
hut u tangled ilia id foliage and vines.
f ‘A good place for nn iimliu h,” I said
to myself.
The idea impre ed mcotli.U f spurri d
my mule, but, to my surprise, the. usually
docile animal stood stock still.
“Wouorl”
The voice rang out from the depth of
the ravine, hut il seemed to he ut my
ear.
“Hemir, halt 1"
As I halted, on account of my mule’s
obstinacy, the command was unneces
sary
“Htuiul aside," I shouted, “and let mo
pass."
Just then I saw prutruding out of the
bushes in front id mo the inurzlo of nn
old fashioned liluiulorlmss. a 11 tut lock
wtapou in very general u r in Yucatan.
A shudder run dou u my spinal column.
1 wit* unarmed, and the hlutiderliusH was
about the ai/.e of a Mitall eannou. Resist
unco was not to be thought of.
'1 surrender'.'’ 1 cried to my unseen
foe,
“Tho Seimr is sensible," said the man
with tlui big gut), ns he leaped into the
road.
A rapid but ehim-scrutiny of my captor
showed me a young man of medium
height, whose lithe, sinewy ligure indi
cated cm option.d adii ily and strength,
lie wore a liome pun cot lon suit, and tho
face under his ••• aiibrero had the brown
tinge common to all the Yuentaneso who
wi re of nn\ed :'p.ini Ii and Indian blood.
The man’s right temple was disllgured
by a pi uliui si ar, shaped likt a crescent !
anil of lli.iy ri d color. beyond this :
Hear there was nothing rent.irkablo about j
his fare, lie had regular features, thin
cruel lips and resile* ' ejea like beads of
jet.
“1 will hold tip my hinds and you can
go through me," said 1 pit a- uitly. "You
don’t want the mule, do you I"
"The senor i wrong. Ido want tho
mule," replied the roblrcr, in a quiet,
self-po■ sessed tone. The enor will have
the kiiulncss to disiuount and hold up
his hands."
As tin e was no use in wasting words,
1 obeyed without objection.
The robber, with a quick jerk drew
my hands behind me and pinioned them
with ustmpof rawhide. I lien lie bound
me securely to a tree. After finishing
tin so preliminarii s In empt icd my pockets
of the loose silver in them.
"Is that all, senor r" lie asked in disgust.
“All 1 have." 1 an-wired.
“The senor has my sympathy," said
the rasial, with a vicious grin. “ But the
mule is something."
The robber turned my steed to the
right about and jumped into the saddle.
" last the senior In patient," lie *aid as
he rode oil. “ Some traveler will release
him, and it is not far to San Pablo. Give
Fran Cisco's compliments to the alcalde.
Adios, senor. adtos!"
Ami waving his band he disappeared
around a bead in tin road.
So this was the noted highwayman.
Francis, for whose head the Governor
had ollcri d a heavy reward
Then was consolation in the thought.
No our would blame me for stirrendi ring
to a dure-'levil who was considered a
match for any three men in Ytuatm.
But my train of thought was soon in
terrupted m a pleasant inner Fran
cisco had been gone perhaps a quarter of
an )tour when a muleteer made his
appearance 1 ailing his little burro along
tin narrow path iluilii g the stranger.
1 induced him to cut my bonds and re
lease me The muleteer told me that I
escaped lightly. He gave Francisco a very
blai k i hara«ti r.
"If this place had not Ix-on in sight
of Sun Pablo." said he, “the cutthroat
would have killed you,”
The next morning the liitle town of
San l’ablo "as in a state of eruption.
Men, women oiul children rushed pell
mcll through the streets utt-ring wild
yells. 1 looked out of the window several
times, but could not make up my mind
whether it was a n volution or a holi
day.
j threw m\self on the bed and tried to
get into a din<\ and wo*sin ending when
the alcalde rushed into my room with a
bevy of his retrainers and pulled me into
a sitting po-dun*.
“The sonor's commands have be-'ti
obeyed." said the alcalde excitedly. ‘‘The
ilog of a bandit lias jjiuu arrested, and
will be tried before uae at once. But we
need the *enor's testimony. Withoutthc
senor wo can do nothing."
It took me almost no tirno to dres, and
accompany the little bt <wn alcalde and
his browner alguazils to the pretentious
tone edifice on the plaza cilled the
palace of justice
I ha<l never seen a criminal trial in a
Mexican court, under rything wa : new
to mo. The alcalde preeid d with fdd
dignity, lie was assistc I l>y a prosecut
ing officer and ; ve. ul ftdvoe t •>. as they
call tleir lawyers, were also on hand.
The court room wa- fill»l with a crowd
of I , vr spectator all talking, swearing
and shaking their lists at the prisoner
l'h robber, Francisco, was the most un
concerned looking man in the crowd,
(surrounded by aigua/.ils, he was not
handcuffed, and when he saw me he
smiled and made me a p dite how.
The proceedings dragged all through
the weary day. My limit d knowledgeof
tho language made it impossible for me
to follow everything that was said, but I
understood that an effort was being
made to prove an alibi. Three tnea
with rather honest faces swore that on
0 o’clock on the previous evening they
had imbibed pulque with Francisco at a
iitile village twenty miles west of Han
Pablo. If they told the truth, of course
my robber could not. have been Francisco.
It irritated me to see so much import
ance attached to the alibi and to my case,
because I had been led to believe that the
prisoner would beheld anyhow, as he was
wanted for other crimes, and a big re
ward hail been offered for him. I was
told, however, that in Yucatan a prisoner
when he demands a trial, must oe tried
or released inside of twelve hours. In
order to hold him, therefore, the San
I’ahlo authorities had to make the most
of my evidence.
The alibi business worried tho old
alcalde not a little. The three witnesses
who swore to meeting Francisco on the
afternoon before were reputable men. On
the other hand I was a stranger and an
American. 8 vend times during the day
I was recalled to the stand and examined
and cross-examined. The utmost cour
tesy characteri/.< d the examination, lmt
it had a latitude that would not have
been permitted in uu American court.
Frequently a spectator would interrupt
with a question, or make a suggestion to
the alcalde. Once Francisco remarked
that he was tired, and would take it as a
favor if tho court would hurry up.
Toward the close of the day I saw a
man on the outskirts of tho spectators
whose fare and manner attracted my at
tention. He was the very image of Fran
cisco, the prisoner.
I changed my position so as to get a
hotter view. The resemblance was won
derfully striking. The man was just
Francisco's age, height, size and complex
ion. Mis sombrero shaded his right
temple and prevented me from seeing
whether it bore the peculiar sear which
disfigured the robber. Ilis costume was
the same as Francisco’s, but, as nearly
everybody wore homespun of the same
color and pattern, this didn’t excite my
surprise.
“If ho has tho scar," l muttered, “he
could pass anywhere for Francisco. It
would be impossible to tell them apart."
Naturally I begun to understand the
alibi. The men who swore that they saw
tho highwayman twenty miles away from
the ceiic of his crime at the very moment
he was tying my hands, might honestly
he mistaken. They had seen this myste
rious stranger. But they had sworn to
the sear. Could it l>e possible that tlie
sttranger’s face boro such a mark?
1 determined to edge my way to him
in the crowd and accidentally knock off
his sombrero in order to look for the
fiery crescent.
When 1 reached that side of the build
ing the man was gone. I made every ef
fort to find him, but finally gave it up.
lie had either left the room or lmd shifted
his position, keeping other persons be
tween us so as to screen him from my
view.
As it was growing dark, four tallow
candles wore lighted, but the gloomy
stone walls made the room look almost
as dark as ever.
I was wondering what would be the
! outcome of the ease, when tho lights
! were suddenly blown out.
“Keep in your places!" shouted an nl
gua/.il. “Order in the palace of justice!”
The randies were re-lighted, and then
w as beheld such a scene as lias rarely ever
been beheld in a court room or anywhere
! else.
In front of the alcalde's bench stood
two sear faced men as much alike as two
brown pens.
“Merciful saints!" ejaculated an ul
gaii7.il. “Do I see double, or are there
two Franciscos?"
“It is tho work of Satan!" suggested
a pious old man as he crossed ltimself.
Mv friend, tho old alcalde, put on liis
spectacles, and looked sharply at tho two
men.
“Francisco?” he called.
Each of the two men gave a ?r»k of
his head, and answered to the name.
“bet the American senor take the
stand." ordered the alcalde.
In response to the questions put to me
1 admitted that I could not point out the
real Francisco.
Three witnesses railed to establish the
alibi were recalled. They shared my be
wilderment. and could, throw no light
; upon the ease.
The alcalde scratched lus head. Then
he touched one ,d the doubles with his
cane
“You now," he said, “what is your
name ?"
“Francisco," was the reply.
“Yeur residence and occupation?"
“1 have V' nc lam traveling alwnit.”
The alcalde turned to the other man.
“What is vour name"’
“Francisco "
“Your residence and occupation?’’
"I have none lam tr.iv '.in ; almut."
The same answer, delivered in tlie
very voice and manner of the first double.
Seeing the alcalde’s embarrassment, I
went to him and suggested that he im
pr;s nn both men until the matter could
l>e looked into.
“I cannot do it." he said. “One is
innocent. If I imprison him I shall lose
uiv place Besides. the twelve hours will
soon expire, and without satisfactory evi
dence 1 must turn both loose."
I hinted that it was all a put-up job.
that Francisco probably had a twin
brother, who had arrang lit to have the
lights blown out. and had then in the
darkness made his way to the prisoner's
side, thus confusing matters with the in
tention of evading justice.
“It mutters not," said the alcalde.
“Two men canDOt be arrested, tried and
imprisoned on a warrant ag; inst one, nor
can a warrant be Issued against two, when
it ia known that only one is guilty. No,
senor, it is a hardship, doubtless, but it is
betterto disappoint justice than to do in
justice.”
Then raising his head, he said:
“The prisoners are discharged.”
Hilently the crowd divided leaving a
broad pathway.
Down the aisle walked the Franciscos.
Each wore the same scornful smile. Each
gave the same wicked look out of his
black eyes. Each made the same low
bow to the court, and when they passed
me I noticed that the red scar on each
man’s temples were both of the same size
and of the same 11am ing colbr.
Out of the arched doorway of the pal
ace of justice, out into the darkness, out
into the region of the mysterious and un
known, passed the two Franciscos, with
not a man to follow or say them nay.
The next morning my expected letter
came. I wus informed to lose no time in
returning to the States, and I left San
Pablo at once. For ull I know, the two
Franciscos are still having a royal time
down in Yucatan. —Atlanta Constitulioa.
Fresh Water Sailors.
About the latter part of November or
December of each year, says the New
York Mail and Express, the ships engaged
in navigating the great lakes hurry to
ward their destination to escape the
December gales. The chances are one to
six when a vessel quits a harbor at this
time of the year that she will never be
seen again. A sailor estimates that his
chances of getting back to his family arc
about five out of six. Merchants and
manufacturers are solicitous about their
cargoes. Shippers would feel much
safer if their coal or grain or ore was on
the peers. Nothing is more treacherous
than the weather that hovers over the
five great, lakes and is ready to send a
ship to the bottom in ten minutes’ notice.
It is a matter of history that gales have
sprung up on Lake Superior and Lake
Huron and wrecked vessels before tho
wheelmen could shift their course a
single point. The insurance on all ves
sels expires about November 25, and
in consequence owners are anxious to get
their craft into a safe harbor. Com
mencing about the Ist of November,
sailors belonging to the union receive $4
per day. Those employed by tin Vessel
men’s Association are paid from $3.75 to
s‘> per day. They are hired from trip to
trip, and the associat ion pays whatever it
is obliged to. Four dollars per day is
said to lie the average pay drawn by sea
men during the last three, four or five
weeks of navigation - The captains and
mates do not profit correspondingly, be
cause they are paid so much for the sea
son, which means from the time the
vessel leaves port in spring to tile
time she is chained up for tho winter.
The sailors’ wages fluctuate, and just
before the final tio-up they often earn
better pay than the captain. To venture
on tho takes after November 25 is virtu
ally to take one’s life iu one's own hand.
Tho frightful disaster and heavy loss of
1 ifo attending the close of navigation last
December lias not been equaled in many
years. A Season on the lakes never winds
up without many casualties and a great
loss of life.
• Consciousness After Decapitation.
At. a recent meeting of the Academy
of Science, M. llaymn of t lie medical
school read a paper on the phenomena
noticed in the head of an animal after de
capitatiqp, with or without transfusion
of fresh blood, says a Paris correspondent
of Scietux. As soon as the head is sepa
rated from the body the eyes move con
vulsively, and a look of wonder and
axiety is noticeable oil the lace. The
jaws separate with force, and the tongue
seems to lie in a tetanic state. There ap
pears to be some consciousness of vvluit is
going on, but this does not last more
than three or four seconds. The eves
then shrink into the head, anil some spas
modic efforts at breathing arc made; the
nostrils expand, the mouth opens, (he
tongue is retracted toward the sauces.
This respiratory effort is repeated three
or four times, but the senses seem to he
inactive and the will is lost. These phe
nomena last one or at most two minutes,
and the head then becomes utterly inert.
If preparations have previously been
made, so that the head after separation
continues to receive a fresh supply of
blood, the voluntary manifestations per
sist as long as the blood supply is sutli
cieut—that is, for half au hour or so.
A Funny Uniform.
The late General It. S. Ripley, who
commanded the Confederate batteries
that first opened fire on Fort Sumter,
said to some friends once: “1 had
ordered some cocked hats for our
uniforms, anil the day before the attack
1 met a bov with a box in his hand run
ning toward Fort Moultrie. ‘Where'll
I tiud Gen. Ripley?" he asked me. ‘And
wliat do you want of him?’ said I.
‘Why,’ said the breathless youngster,
‘I heard they were to start tiring on Fort
Sumter, and I must get this hat to him
before they start in.’ He thought the
attack could not be made unless i was in
full regal;' As it happened, I was
awakened an hour or two before the
shot was find by a false alarm that the
signal to begin hostilities had been
given, and l rushed out in my night
clothes and caught up the cooked hat ou
the way. That was nil my uniform—a
cocked hat and a night-gown." —Nat

WHAT
AILS
YOU?
Do you feel dull, languid, low-spirited, life
less, nnd indescribably miserable, both physi
cally and mentally; experience a sense of
fullness or bloating after eating, or of ‘ gone
ness," or emptiness of stouineh in tho morn
ing, tongue coated, bitter or bad taste in
mouth, irregular appetite, dizziness, frequent
headaches, blurred eyesight, “ floating specks ’
before the eyes, nervous prostration or ex
haustion, irritability of temper, hot flushes,
alternating with chilly sensations, sharp,
biting, transient pains here and there, cold
feet, drowsiness after weals, wakefulness, or
disturbed and unrefreshing sleep, constant,
indescribable feeiiug of dread, or of impend
ing calamity?
If you have all, or any considerable number
of these symptoms, you are suffering from
that most common of American maladies —
Bilious Dyspepsia, or Torpid Liver,'associated
with Dyspepsia, or Indigestion. The more
complicated your disease has become, tho
greater the number and diversity of symp
toms. No matter what stage it has reached,
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical lllscovery
will subdue it, if taken according to direc
tions for a reasonable length of time. If not
cured, complications multiply and Consump
tion of the Lungs. Skin Diseases, Heart Disease,
Rheumatism, Kidney Disease, or other grave
maladies are quite liable to set in und, sooner
or later, induce a fatal termination.
I»r. Pierce’s Golden Medicnl Dis
covery acts powerfully upon tho Liver, and
through that great blood-purifying organ,
cleanses the system of all blood-taints and im
purities, from whatever cause arising. It is
equally efficacious in acting upon the Kid
neys, and other excretory organs, cleansing,
strengthening, and healing their diseases. As
an appetizing, restorative tonic, it promotes
digestion and nutrition, thereby building up
both flesh and strength. In malarial districts,
this wonderful medicine has gained great
celebrity in curing Fever and Ague, Chills aud
Fever, Dumb Ague, anil kindred diseases.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery
CUBES ALL BUSftGBS,
from a common Blotch, or Eruption, to the
worst Scrofula. Salt-rheum, “ Fever-sores,”
Scaly or ltoug’h Skin, in short, all diseases
caused by bad blood are conquered by this
powerful, purifying, and invigorating medi
cine. Great Eating ulcers rapidly heal under
its benign influence. Especially baa it mani
fested its potency in curing Tetter, Eczema,
Erysipelas, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Scrof
ulous Sores and Swelling’s, Hip-joint Disease,
“White Swellings,” Goitre, or Thick Neck,
and Enlarged Glands. Send ten cents in
stamps for a large Treatise, with colored
plates, on Skin Diseases, or the same amount
for a Treatise on Scrofulous Affections.
“FOR THE BLDOO 8S THE LIFE. 0
Thoroughly cleanse it by using I>r. Picrcc’i
Golden Medical Discovery, and good
digestion, a fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital
strength and bodily health will be established.
CONSUMPTION,
which is Scrofula of Hie tilings, is arrested
and cured by this remedy. If taken in the
earlier stages of the disease From its mar
velous power over this terribly fatal disease,
when first offering this now world-famed rem
edy to the public, Dr. Pierce thought seriously
of calling it his “Consumption Cuitr.,” but
abandoned that name as too restrictive for
a medicine which, from its wonderful com
bination of tonic, or strengthening, alterative,
or blood-cleansing, anti-bilious, pectoral, and
nutritive properties, is unequaled, not only
as a remedy for Consumption, but for all
Chronic Diseases of the
Liver, Blood, and Lungs.
For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood. Short
ness of Breath, Chronic Nasal Catarrh, Bron
chitis, Asthma, Severe Coughs, and kinurea
affections, it is an efficient remedy.
