“Fingall! Fingall! Oh, Fin
gall!"
A gray mist was rising from
the river; the sun was drinking
it delightfully; the swift, blue
water showed underneath it.
and tin* top of White Faced
mountain {waked the mist by a
hand length. The rive brushed
the banks like rustling silk, and
the only ot her sound, very sharp
and clear in the liquid mono
tone, was the crack of a wood
peeber’s beak on a hickory tree.
It was a sweet, fresh, autumn
morning in Lonesome valley.
Before night the deer would
bellow reply to the hunter’s
rifles and the mountain goat
call to its unknown gods, but
qmv there were only the wild
duck skimming the river and
then rising and fading into the
mist, the high hilltop, t lie sun
and again that strange cry:
“Fingall! 'Fingull! Oh, Fin
gull!”
Two men lounging at a fire
on a ledge of the hills raised
their eves to the mountain side
beyond and above them, 9nd
them said presently:
‘‘The second time. It's a
woman’s voice, Pierre.”
Pierre minded and abstracted
ly stirred the coals about with
a twig.
“Well, it is a pity—the poor
Cynthie! ”he said at last.
“It is a woman, then ? ’ You
know In/, Pii rre—her story ?”
‘•Firigull! Fingall! Oh, Fin-
gall!”
Pierre raised liu head toward
ihe sound; tlien,after a moment,
said: ,
“I know Fingall.”
“And the woman? Tell me.”
“And t In* girl. Fingall was

heard two shots and then a fall.
We ran into Mhe other room.
There was Feim on the Hour,
dying. He lifted himself or.
his elbow, pointed at Finghll
and toil back. The father of
the boy stood whits and still a
lew feet away. There was no
| pistol showing—none at all.
The men closed in on Fingall
now. He did not stir—lie seem
ed to be thinking of something
else. He had a puzzled, sorrow
ful look. The men crowded
round him, but he waved them
back for a moment and looked
lirst at the father, then at the
son. Jcould not understand at
first. Some one pulled a pistol
out of Fingall’s pocket and
showed it. At ihat moment
Cynt hie came in. She gave a
cry. By tlm holy, 1 do nut
want to hear a cry like that
often. She fell on her knees
beside the boy and eauglit his
head to her breast. Then, with
a wild look, she asked'who did
it. They had just taken Fin
gall out into the barroom. They j
did not tell her his name, forj
they knew tluit she loved him
“‘Father,” she said all at
once, ‘have you killed the man
t hat killed Fenn ?’
“The old’ man shook his
head. There was a sick coloj in
his face.
“ ‘Then 1 will kill him!’ she
isaid.
“She laid her brother’s head
down and stood. Some one put
in her hand the pistol and told
her that it was the same one
that had killed Fenn. She
took n and came with us. The
old man stood still where he
was. He was like stone. I
looked at him for a moment
for a moment and thought;
tlmn I turned round and went
to the barroom. The old man
followed. Just as 1 got inside
the door I saw the girl start
back and her hand drop, for
she saw that it was Fingall
He was looking at her very
strange. It was the rule to
empty the gun into n man who
had been sentenced, and already
Fingall had heard his ‘God
have mercy!’
“Fingall said to lirr in a
liiuflied voice:
“ Fire, Cynthie 1”
“1 guessed what she would
do. In a kind of dream .she
raised the pistol 11(1 —up —up
till I could see it was out of
range of bis head and she tired.
One I two! three t four! five!
Fingall never moved a muscle.
Bill tile bullets spotted the
wall at the side of his head'
She paused after the live, but
llie arm was still held out and
her finger was on the trigger.
She seemed to be in a dream.
There were only six chambers
in the gun anil of course one
chamber was empty. Fenn had
its bullet in bis lungs, as we
thought. Someone beside Cyn
thie touched her arm, pushing
it down. But there waa anoth
er shot ami this time, because
of the push, the hllllet lodged
iu Fingall’s skull.”
Pierre paused now, but waved
with his hand toward the mist
which now hung hi/h up like a
canopy between tie- hills.
“Hut,” said Lawless, not
heeding the scene, “wliat about
that sixth bullet ?”
“Mon Dn-u, it is jil Hi 11 ! Fin
gall did not tire the shot. His
revolver was full—every cham
ber—wln-n Oynthie first took
it.”
“Who killed the lad ?”

she had killed Fingall. and die

The two were buried. Then w
told her that Fingall was not
dead. She used to eonie and
sit outside the door and listen
to his breathing and a-k if he
( ever spoke ol her. What was
j the good of lying? It' we said
he did, slic’d come in to him.
! and that would do no good, for
ihe wasn’t right in his mind.
By and bv we told her he was
jgetting well, ami then she
i didn’t come, but staid at home,
just saying his name over to
herself. Alors, things take hold
of a woman—it is so strange!
When he was strong enough to
go out, I went w ith him t lie
lirst time. He was a!! thin
and handsome,ns v>u can 1 liink,
but lie had no memory and his
eyes were like a child's. 'SI e
saw him and came out to meet
him. What does a woman care
for the world when she loves
altogether? Well, he just
looked at her as if lie’ll never
seen her before and pass**d on
without a sign, though after
ward there came trouble in his
face. Three days later lie was
gone, no one knew w here. T! at
is two years ago. Ever since
she has been looking for him.”
“Is she mad?”
“Mad? Holy Mntlw r. it is
not good to have one tiling in
the lead all the time, What
do von think? So much all at
mice! And then”—
“Hush, Pierre! There die
is,’’ Lawless said, pointing to a
lodge of Took not far away.
The girl stood looking mit ]
across the valley, a weird, rapt
look in her face, her hair tail

Pierre returned the intensity

“So. so, Cynthie,” lie -ai l.

her hair had gone gray at lierj

and twenty years ol i. Her
face, bnwu as it was, shone
with a white kind of light,
which may or may not have
come from the crucible of ler
eyes, where the tragedy of her
life was fusing. Lawless could
not bear to look long, for the
I tire that consumes a body and
sets free a soul is not for tile

rose, her body steady, but li«*r j

again said Lawless. “Where
■did she get it?” *
“From a hook which Fingall
left behind.”
They watched her till shb
rounded a cliff anil was gone;
then they shouldered their kits
and passed up the river on the
trail of the wapiti'. One month
later, when a fine white surf of
Irost lay on the ground and the
sky was darkened often by the
Might of the wild geese south
ward. they came upon a hut
I perched on a bluff* at the edge
•of a clump of pines. It was
morning, and White Faced
mountain ghone solemnly clear,
w ithout a touch of cloud or
mist from its haunches to its
I crowti.
They knocked at the hut door
and in answer to a voice enter
ed. The sunlight streamed in
over a woman lying upon a
heap of dril'd flowers in a cor
ner and a man kneeling beside
her. They came near and saw
the woman was Cynthie.
Then Pierre broke out sudden
ly. “Fingall!” and caught the
kneeling man by the shoulder.
At the sound of his voice the
woman’s eyes opened. “Fin
gall! Oh, Fingall!” she said
and reached up a hand, The
bearded man stooped and
caught her to li is breast:
“Cynthie, poor girl! Oh,
my poor Cynthie!” he said.
In his eyes, as in hers, was a
sane light, and his .voice, as I
hers, said indescribable things.
Her head sank upon his shoul
der: her eyes closed. She was
asleep. Fingall laid her down
with a sob in his throat. Then
lie sat up and clutched Pierre’s
hand.
"In the east, where the doc
tors cured, I heard," lie said,
pointing to her, “and I came to
liml her. I was just in time
1 found her yesterday.*’
"And she knew you?" wliis*
pered Pierre.
"Yes, hut the fever came
hard ufter.” He turned and
looked at her. and kneeling,
smootlied away the hair from
her smiling, pathetic face.
"Peer girl!” he said. “Poor
girl!”
"She will get well?” asked
Pierre.
“God grant it,” Fingall re
plied. “She is better —bet-
ter.”
Lawless and Pierre softly
turned and stole away, leaving
the man alone with the girl.
The two stood in silence look
ing upon the river beneath
Presently a voice crept through
the stillness.
“Fingall! Oh.Fingall! Fin
gall!”
It was the voice of a woman

MOSES AND THK TABLES
OF STONE.
Did you ever figure on the
probable size and immense
strength of Moses, basing your
calculations on the dimensions
of tho tables of stone, as given
bv the Talmudic writers? In
the Talmiud (folio JW, column
s) it is said that the tables of
stone upon which the command
im nts were written were 0 ells
j long, (5 ells broad and !f ells
thick. In the Bible, Exodus
I xxxii, If., wo uro told that
! "Moses wont down from the
mount, and the two tables of
!ihe testimony wore in his
hand."
“Hand,” mind you, not
hands, though it must lie ad
mitted that it would have tak
en a strong pair of hands to
perform the task of currying
them, even on the level. Now,
wo will put tha Talmudic and
I the Biblical accounts together
ung apply the mathematical
rule. The Hebrew “ell” or
“cubit” was, at its least eati
mate, a measure of is inches,
which would have make each of
tlie tables a stole block 0 feet
long, U feet wide and 4.J feet
| thick. If common stone weigh
'd in? much to the square foot
then as it does now the tables
would tip the beam at aboun 28
tons. Was Moses one of the
• 'giants of days” or has
some one made a mistake iu
calculations or in the state
ment of supposed facts? —St

wonderful rose tree.
The mammoth rose tree in
| the reur of Mrs. Susan Y.
Moor'e home, odOd Rartrner av
*-*uie, is a thing of beauty and a
j joy for the few weeks it is m
bloom, says the SI. Lon s Post
Dispatch.
Rose hushes are common but
" hen they atttain the enormous
proportions of this one they
can only b<‘ designated as trees,
and such sights are rarely seen.
This rose tree is of uncertain i
age. When Mrs. Moore ac-j
qluted possession of the prop
erty five years ago there was in
the rear of the lot a diminutive
and insignificant rose hush. II
did not take up much room and
she permitted it to remain. Its
growth was marvelous, and by
fall it had reached a very re
spectable size.
The following spring it
bloomed, and was a mass of
small but perfect roses. The
bush kept on gowing, and Mrs.
Moore became interested in it
and was proud of her find. The
growth has continued ever
since and now the five would
attract attention anywhere.
The trunk is more than four
indies in diameter and the
branches are trained along the
rence o.i the west side of the
lot for a distance nf more than
forty feet. The tree has no ap '■
parent desire to grow straight
up, tint runs along and sup
ports itself against the fence,
sot hat a person of ordinary
height may easily pluck the
flowers from the highest bianch
es.
The only objection to the
tree is that it is no) a constant
bloomer. Usually in June it j
blossoms out, lint because of
the forward season this year
put out early.
It would he hard to imagine
a more beautiful sight. The
entire length of the tree is one
solid mass of roses. Their fra
grance may be detected a block.
The roses are not large—
about two inches In diameter.
When they first begin to op. i.
they are a deep rich red, but a
tliey aUuin full bloom they
take on a delicate pink and in
the process of changing assume
various shades and present a
variegated appearance. Thus
the tree yields flowers ranging
from a deep red to an almost
white.
The tree is so profuse u
blqotner that the cutting from
it of a few bushels of roses
makes no perceptible change in
its appearance.
Mrs. Moore does not know
the name of the rose which she
Inis raised with such marked
success, nor did she use any
particular (dan in growing or
training it’- She simply let it
alone and nature did the rest.
The above may be a large
“rose tree” for people at St.
Louis but it is not hard to find
a Cherokee rose bush in this
state twice as large as the above.
We have seen in south Florida
an Agrippina bush that grew to
be twelve feet high and hud a
spread of thirty feet without
any training.
PEACH LEAVES FOR IKK!
CHOLERA..
Says an exchange: During
i.n experieuce of twenty years I
have no recollection of ever see
ing hogs die of cholera when
they had access to a peach or
chard. They will eat every leaf
they call get, and large hogs
will break down and rum small
|>cueh tress to get the leaves
and young twigs. They will
also crack and eat th - kernels
of all the |>each seed they can
get, and such am always
healthy.
I believe that if the farmers
of the South will plant large
peach orchards, nnd enclose
them so that they can pasture
them with their hogs, tln-y will
have no sick hogs; and when
they can’t pasture tln-ir or
chards, make peach leaf tea
and make a uiasli about once a
week with tile tea and corn
meal, nr chops and wheat bran,
and feed so all tln-ir hogs
will get, a good feed of this, and
itliey will find their hogs look
ing well and in good health.
This treatment will k-'-.-p hogs
clear of worms of all kinds, and
vyhen this is the cage hogs am
healthy. Try this, brother far
mers, and watch the result.

A HUGE BOVINE.
A monster -lei r, which is
j owned by Mr. Charles Payne, a
I dealer in wild animals and <*u
! rios, at Wichita, Kan-, is at
tracting the attention of the
curious.
Mr Payne came into posses
sion of the animul, now three
years old, about six months
ago. Its growth since that
time has been phenomenal and
the question is asked Mr. i’ayne
many times a day: “When is!
it ever going to stop growing?”
The steer is now six feet and
four inches high and eleven
feet long, or seventeen feet
tong, counting from the tip of
its ti.il.
It weighed only 1800 pounds
three months ago. Its present j
weight is 2800 pounds, anil if
it continues to grow as it has
in the past six months, it will
some day be as big as a full
grown elephant.
Cattlemen pronot nee it one
of the greatest freaks known in
the stock line. They say it
will continue to grow until it is
seven or eight years old, and
that when it is fully grown it
will have attained a weight of
from four to six thousand
pounds.
The giant is perfectly sym
metrical in its development,
and is colored slid marked like
a Jersey.
Mr. Payme has not offered it
for sale, and says he intends to
wait and see how big it gets.
Only one other such freak
has been known, and that, was
the famous “Kansas Gueen,”
