HENRY S. REAY,
Rupert, Pa.
ays. TB.-ly.
I was a young doctor, not overburdened
with practtco, when I sat half dozing In tny
surgery, ono stifling August nfternoon, and
was roused by a bustle in tbo street and a
cry, "Hero's a doctor ; ring the bell I"
By the time the ring was answered I was
wide awake and had my professional expres'
ston on. Two men camo In, and ono held In
his arms a llmp,6enseless figure a boy about
three years old, covered with the blood flow'
Ing from a gash in his head. I took the lit
tle fellow in my own arms and carried him
to the sofa,while tho men brought mo water
and seemed deeply interested in all my move
menu.
A broken arm and the deep cut on the
head kept me busy some time, but at last
my little patient was made as comfortable as
possible and was moaning with recovering
consciousness.
"Have you far to carry him ?" I asked of
one of the men.
"We don't own him," was the answer.
"He was a running across the street and
a horse kicked him over. Jim, here," indl
eating his companion, "he picked him up,
and I come along to help find a doctor,
'cause Jim can t read."
'Needn't a shoved that in I"
growled Jim, turning red. "Poor llttlo chap
how he groans 1"
"I will give him something to quiet him,
presently," I said, "and will send word to
the station house if his name is not on his
clothes."
The men departed, and I lifted my charge
once more,and went up stairs to my mother's
room, over the surgery,
It did not take many minutes to enlist her
sympathies, and we undressed the child and
piithimin her wide .bed, hoping to find
some mark upon his clothing. There was
none, and when I saw this I spoke frank
ly
"Mother, there is just one chance for the
little fellow's life, and that is perfect quiet,
He will hare fever, probably be delirious
Bo tho summer and early autumn woro
away, and Freddie was dear to us as if ho
had claim of kinship. His rare beauty, his
precocious intellect and his loving heart had
completed tho fascination commenced by
our pity for his suiTering,weakness and lone
liness. Ho called us "Grandma" and "Un
cle John," and clung to us with tho most
affectionate caresses.
We tried in vain, from his childish prat
tle, to gain somo clue to his parentage or re
latives. He told us his papa had gono "far,
far off," and mamma had "gone to papa,"
so we concluded he was an orphan, and I
often heard mother telling him of the
beautiful heaven where his parents waited
their little boy.
Of his grandmothor and Aunt Lucy ho
spoke with shrinking fear, and seemed to
have an equal dread of Susan, whom we
judged to be tho nurse. Susan was talking
to a tall man, he told us, who boxed his ears
and told him to go home, when, trying to
escape, he ran under tho horse s hoofs and
was hurt.
Being blessed with ample means, mother
and I had quite decided to formally adopt
pretty lreddie when he had been a little
longer unclaimed in our house, The con-
valesenceof the child requiring fresh nir
without too much exercise, I made a habit
of taking him with mo in my daily drlro to
visit my patients.
Dennis, my coachman, was very fond of
Freddie, and very careful ; so I was not
afraid to leave my little charge with him
whilo I was indoors, and ho was veiy happy
chatting with the good natured Irishman,
and waiting my coming.
It was early in November, and mother
had dressed Freddie for tho first time in a
jaunty suit of velvet, with a dainty velvet
cap over his brown curls, when one morning
I Bent him out with Dennis until I was ready
to start. Looking out I saw him standing
on the pavement, giving Nat, my horse, a
long carrot he had procured in the kitchen,
was telegraphed to come to him. Wo had
parted," she added, turning to mother, "be
cause his business had called him to Liver
pool, and ho was afraid to have Freddio and
mo go there on account of the cholera. Hut
when I beard he was ill I went to him at
once, leaving my boy with my husband's
mother and sister. I knew they were not
very fond of him, but I had no choice I
dared not tako him to Liverpool with tho
cholera raging there, and I had nowhere
elso to leave him. I found my husband very
ill, but he was recovering, when he had a
relapse. Ho rallied from that and took cold,
I think, or over fatigued himself, bringing
on a second relapse that proved fatal. Du
ring all hls'lllness I heard only twice of
Freddie once that ho was well, once that he
bad been killed In the street. I camo homo
only two days ago, and they would toll'me
nothing of where ho was buried nothing
hut the bare fact of his death. I I oh, do
not blamo me I I was on the way to the
river to end it all when I met Freddie."
Mother looked at me and whispered,
"The grandmother who beat Freddie has
driven her mad. Let her Btay with mo
while you try to find out something about
her."
"But I have no right to force myself into
her privato affairs," I Bald.
"Sho is Freddie's mother. That gives
you aright."
It would be tedious to tell In detail all the
long conversation that followed ; but, au.
thorized by Mrs. West, I called upon her
husband's lawyer, and there heard the
story.
"I think," the lawyer said, confidential
ly, "that tho Wests are the proudest people
I ever knew proud of their family, their
money and their beauty. Carroll West was
the only son, Lucy the, only daughter, when
the old man died. He left a considerable
fortune, but Carrol has increased his sharo

A Ccntest with a Madman.
TERRIBLE ENCOUNTER IN A CORNFIELD
WITH A LUNATIC ARMED WITH. A
William Taylor,a resident of Raisin town
ship, was brought to the jail in this city on
tho afternoon train from Tecumseh yester
day. Ho was in an alarming slate of mad
frenzy, aud officer Merrltt, of Tecumseh, had
to call lu considerable assistance in getting
tho madman off the train lnl o a back. Near
ly all tho clothes were torn from the lunatic',
hack in the operation. Taylor is an Eng
lishman, and has resided In Raisin, where
ho owns a farm containing two hundred
acres, for several years. Ho has led tho life
of a miserly hermit, being unmarried, and
living alone. Some years ago, after having
a fit, ho was temporarily Insane, but since
that time ho has been considered as sane as
numberless men are.
Tho present attack has been on him for
about four days, and his friends attribute it
to overwork in tho heated hatvest field. He
has been out of his head, but seemingly not
dangerus, for three or four days. Yester
day he went over into the cornfield of New
ton Bryan, where a young man about twenty
years old was at work, and asked for a
drink. It seems he had been in the habit of
going thero for cider, a jug of which was
usually kept in the field. The boy told him
thero was noting but water there, andthat
the jug was at tho other side of the field.
Taylor insisted that the young man should
go along with him to get it. Accordingly
the two started, and when about half way
across the field Taylor grabbed his compan
ion by the coat collar, and muttered : "I'll
fix you before we get through." Tho young
man, with the utmost coolness, replied: "I
am not afraid ; I have never injured you,
and you won't hurt me."
Arriving at the fence, tho lunatic seized
the young man by the hair, and, jerking
back his head, pulled out a razor and yelled,
"Draw in your breath, your time has come."
Just as the maniac was drawing back the
keen edged razor for the awful stroke that
must have, severed his victim's head from
his body, the young man struck him a blow
in the face and leaped over the fence with
the now thoroughly infuriated maniac, who
is very powerful even when sane, at his
heels. In tho next field a struggle ensued.
It was life or death for tho young laborer,
and he fought like a tiger, the lunatic mean
time slashing right and left with the razor,
with which he inflicted two wounds upon the
the scalp of bis victim.
(Finally, the young man, by an almost su

But while he lay unknown, my little pa

crying, 'Oh, Aunt Lucy, don't beat Freddie!

into the surgery. I shut out tho curious
people who followed, and Freddie clung fast
to the black dress, never ceasing his loud
cries of "Ob, mamma I It is my mamma

mamma.
The sound rang through the house, reach

She came hurrying down the stairs, and
entered the surgery just s Dennis deposited
his burden in an arm chair. Comprehend

"You see, sur," said Dennis, "Master

I did see. I saw again the hard, deter
mined face leaning over the sleeping child,
denying him ; the weaker woman sanction
ing the deceit, but falling senseless in the
room. I understand now the disappoint
ment that had greeted the tidings that the
child was neither dead nor dying, but recov

An unmistakable look of disappointment
crossed tbe faces of my visitors, but the eld

I asked permission to announce their
coming to my mother, and left the ladles
alone. When I returned, after some five
minutes' absence,I was struck by the change
iu their faces. Tbe younger one was pale
as ashes, and tbe elder one bad a set, hard
look of determination, as if nerved by some
sudden resolution.
I led tbe war to my mother's bed room,
where Freddie was in a profound slumber.
The younger lady shrank back in tbe shad

vanced and bent over the child.
Thero was a movement ot profound silence;
then in a hard voice, the old lady said : "I
am very sorry to have put you to so much
trouble, Dr. Morrill. This is not the child
'of course it is. My own pretty mamma,
come from heaven,"
She reeled back at the Innocent words,
and would have fallen had I not caught her
and nut her onco more in the arm chair,
"Como from heaven I" she replied, with
aAy lips and gaspy breath. "They told me
he was dead, my boy, my Freddie that he
was run over and killed. Tbe nursesawhim

Murphy understands this better than any
