Martha Ullbert Dickinson, In Harper's. THE HOUSE ON LONG KILL, On tho way back from Fltchbur to Mew Haven, after a Yale College va cation, I rodo across Connecticut on a bicycle. The necond day of the trip I stopped at I'omfret to visit Putnuin's iwolf den. This took more time than I expected so that It was dark before I reached the Nathan Hale monument at South Coventry. Here I left Lake Wangumbaug on my rliflit and soon entered a lonely road I pnere woods added their shadow to the arknesa as evening rapidly fell. Tho track was grass Rrown, stony and bad for a wheel. Many cart-paths made the way uncertain, because. In the dark ness, tho main road could hardly be dis tinguished from them. The mountain ous character of the country Increased as I proceeded; sharp declivities and steep hills frequently alternating and compelling me to walk much of tho ,way. After a few miles of this Blow work, I .taw that I was nearlng a huge eleva tion that lay across my course like a dark, partly rocky and imrtly wooded range. I thought that the road would soon turn and lead me through some pn.ss between two hills that the dark ness had shaded Into one, but Instead of that It approached the base directly. I Jumped off my wheel and began to climb a hill so steep tlwit I did not see how a horse could be driven up or down. After a while I began to think it had no top; but at last I was at the summit, where, In a small clearing, stood a half-fallen chimney, like the monument of a family wholly gone. The landscape beyond looked dark and wild. A few lights glimmered so far away, and remote from each other as to In tensify rather than relieve the loneli ness. The descent of the hill was not quite so steep, but It threatened to be even longer tha i the ascent. I had carefully run down the rough road for a long distance when a light suddenly flashed out on my right. I discovered that I was passing the entrance of a lane that led back several rods to a house from which a lantern Just then passed to a well. The light revealed the stone chimney and the ancient windows of a house that had, perhaps, survived a former century. The well-sweep tlpjved and rose again and the lantern quickly disap peared at a side door. Here I rapped and the door was opened by a young woman about twenty years of age. Sho as modest to the verge of dillldence and one more unaffectedly dignified and graceful I had never seen. Her answers to my Inquiries convinced me that In order to reach the nearest hotel I should have to pick my way In the deepening darkness along several miles of road no better than I had already found. I made bold to ask If I might remain till morning where I was. She turned Kiid referred the question to "Grandma, .who appeared aged and Infirm as she eat in an old wooden rocklng-chalr. "Ask the gentleman In, Carrie." said she. The room Into which I was Invited ex tended almost across the rear of the house. At the end opposite to that where I entered, a door standing pnrtly open gave a glimpse of a small bed room. Half way down the room on one side was an open fireplace with its crane, Its andirons and its stone hearth. I'uneled wood-work extended around th sides of the room and as far up as the window-sills. In one corner was a tall, old-fashioned clock. In another corner, at the end farthest from the bedroom, stood a closet that was like a square box set on end and pushed bark Into the angle where the side meet tho nd of the room. The corner Itself mado the back walls of the closet, while tho two front sides made an opposite corner that projected into the room. Its doors were fastened with a wood en botton put on with a big wought nail. This closet was used for a clothes press for overalls and other things worn about tho farm, iilke almost every t ln else to be seen In this room, It "'lped the illusion that transported me a. k to colonial times. I acceptfd the chair near the old lady, wh.i was deaf, and found her an lnter ''". and Intelligent talker. Hut con Waallon was made a little dilllcult by the deafness of the elder and the dilll dence of the younger one. Both char acteristics, however, seemed to fit tho place charmingly. They asked about my trip. When I Jiieiitkmed my destination, the young lady surprised me by remarking: "I have a brohter at Vale." I inquired his name. "Your brother Is well known In col lege, said L "he Is one of the best men among the Juniors." She blushed at this praise of her brother, and turning toward the door I lud noticed, said: "You will occupy his room; that one ! behind you. I am afraid it may seem little lonely," she added, "but our j hired man will come home before very lute and his room Is directly over it." I "Nothing so lonely as that road from ; Coventry Is likely to fall to my share j to-night." I replied. "'It must seem so to a stranger. 1 1 suppose, toothat thlB is the longest hill you have seen on the way," "Yes. and I hardly saw this for the darkness. Hut I leallzed Its length.") "Long Hill is Its name." 1 "It Is a fitting one. We have a high lull, or mountain, In full view neur fitchliujg, almost ns nptly named. It 1ms a barf stony look as If stones might loll down from the top, and we call It liollstone." "Isn't Mt. Wachusett near Pitch burg?" "Not so near as old Rollstone. How w down this hill have I come?" Almost UaljC way." . ji"'' TTow far off In this direction arc your nraj-t-r.t neighbors!" "A mile? and a quarter. Tbera Is only one holme In three milts, except one or two old deserted oned." "And do you two always live here alone?" "No; most of the time we have a hired Man." 7 should thing you wnutd be dread fully lonesome. Aren't you afrtOd sometimes?" "We dptit think of It. You know we have always lived hero. This Is no nat ural to us as FKchburg or New Haven fa to you." "In reality you may tie safer hr. Bometlmco burglars make calls there." "We hart a burglar hire once." I begged to here the story. "It was when my father and mother were living," said the young woman. "They had started that day for Nor wich, taking me with them for a short visit at my uncle's. I was a little girl then and my brother Joe, who is now In college, was only 12 years old. Ho was never given to frightening himself with things that did not happen and he rather enjoyed being left alone as a man of the house with grandma over night. "In the middle of the night he waked and thought he heard grandma In the kitchen. He knew It would be of no use to call and ask If she was 111, for she was as deaf then as she Is now. So he Jumped out of bed and came right out here Into this room. A few coals left In the firepluce made a dim light. He was surprised to find no one here. Soon he noticed that one of the windows hnd been left open. Then he saw that the button was turned from the closet door. The door moved slightly. He spumg with his whole force against It and turned the button." "Good for little Joe!" I exclaimed. "It had been still Blnce he first moved." she continued, "but there was noise enough now. I am telling him what a rumpus the burglar made when he found himself In Joe's lockup," said she, turning to her grandmother, who could hear very little, but was watch ing my countenance while I listened. "Dear me!" said the old lady, "I never was so frightened. I waked up and was sure there was a great noise some where. My first thought was that somo of the creatures were, loose In the barn. Then I heard a man yelling and I couldn't think what on earth had hap pened! When I caught the sound of lit tle Joe's voice In the kitchen I came out as quick as I could get here. I couldn't see anybody but him, but he seemed to be holding a lively discussion with some one. "Shut up your noise,' he shouted. 'Hush!' said I. 'Whom are you talking to like that?' Then I heard somebody roar, 'Let me out of this, youngster, or I II break every bone In your body.' 'You'll break your own bones If you don't stop that kicking,' says Joe, as saucy as could be for all my hushing "In the morning we hailed the first man driving by and asked for his help. We found the door still buttoned, but could not get any answer. When we turned th button the fellow dropped all In a heap on the floor apparently dead. The burglar revived after a while but nut till little Joe and his helper had bound him securely." "He had escaped from prison," said Carrie, "and had been hiding In the woods. He saw father drive away and when he found that he did not return he thought there was a good chance to get a disguise to wear Instead of hia striped prison suit. But he Is wearing that still. Joe saw him not long ago In one of the prison shops at Wethers- field, where he Is serving out a long Bentence." Soon afterwards as I rose to go to my room, the grandmother said: "I hope the story of Joe's burglar won't affect you as It did Pat, our hired man. When he first came here he no ticed the peculiar construction of the closet and I told him about Joe's adven ture. He declared the next morning that ha didn't sleep, but a couple o' three winks all night." "I shall sleep all the more soundly," said I. "Nothing will disturb me." But I was mistaken; something did disturb me. I had been dreaming that I held a door against a man who was trying to push his way Into a room and that another one had Just fired a re volver through a window at Carrie. My dream and the story I had heard be fore I went to bed were mixed In my, mind as I was roused by the careful moving of a door. Half asleep I rolled out of bed and reeled Into the dark kitchen. Bang went a chair on the floor, while a knock on tho shins, with the noise, brought me to my senses. A quick heavy step started from the other end of the room, and, with a rush, some one sprung up on me. He was a powerful man, but Yale athletics served a good purpose. Some wild passes were made on both sides In the dark, but there were others that were not wasted. How we did hustle around that old kitchen. Chairs, tins, pans and every thing movable tumbled about and made a terrlbja din. But science tells, and I soon had him at a disadvantage, though he struggled hard and we fell against a sharp corner. It was the closet. In a twinkling I Jiad the door open. Before he knew It, I swung him around, when a sudden charge backed him against the wall. Instantly the door slammed and I turned th.hlg button. Another burglur was a prisoner In the lockup. Yty this time th"re were voices some where and a litxbt bernn to shine. I suddenly realized that I had not been fighting in armor, und at the first pros pect of a vlvandiere's approach I ran like a very coward from the victorious field. Hastening to my nom, I began to Jump Into more presentable clothing. "Is that you, Patrick?" culled a voice from the dlBiance. "What's the mat ter?" "Matther enough, mum Look afther yersllf; there's a burgulutor in the noose, mum." "Where are you?" "It's In the closet, I am The thavliV spalpeen locked me Into the closet bekase I did be near breaktu' the rusli kllly head of him. . A laugh from my room, where I was hurriedly dressing, told them v.ho Pat's burglar wan. Ills own smothf.red ans wers had already Indentllled mine. I expected another round when I opened the door, but when each saw the other battered condition both were satisfied. Next morning, at breakfast, Cunle Boberly asked grandma whether this house had been entered, first and laxt, by three burglars or by one. Grandma pave up the conundrum, and, not being asked-! I aid not try. Julius Ilobiuson. 1 IMAGINATION IN WAR. It Was Mors Dcmorallxlng to Roldirn Than Kitllet. ' In my opinion," says a well-know tJnlon soldier, "the Itnnglnatlon of me does more Injury to the cause of cour age than all the appliances ol war ye discovered. "I knew of a case In the battles ol the Wilderness, where two of our men suddenly meeting while s'uragFilrig threw away their arms, and both mad for the same tree, a large oak, about which they dodged for half an hour trying to escape from each other, be fore cither regained self-command enough l realize the situation. "I had a remarkable case happen U me during the battles around nich mond. That Is to sny, It happened tc another man, but I was part of It. II was on a skirmish line, and I was lying behind a log with two other men 1 was only a private then one of whom was an Inveterate Joker, and the other was one of the Imaginative kind of sol dlers. In fact, he wns so Imaginative that ho was almost scared out of his wits, and when the bullets and shells began flying through 'the woods, cut ting off saplings, clipping limbs all around us and barking the top of the log behind which we lay, I thought the fellow would burst a blood vessel or go crazy or do some other fool thing un becoming a soldier. Tom, the Joker, noticed the man's terror and called my attention to It. "Then he reached out and dragged In a stick cut from the tree above us by the bullet, and fixing a pin In It pro ceeded to have his fun. The man was at the far end of our log, ten feet from Tom, and I was Just beyond Tom on the other side, and. I am free to con fess, was nervous enough to wonder at Tom's manner at Buch a time. How sver, I couldn't help watching his move, ments, and actually laughed to see him sliding the pin-pointed stick along to ward the unsuspecting victim. Having got It at the right distance, he waited for a smashing volley of bullets, and Just as It came he prodded the soldier In the back with the pin. Well, It was really funny to see the chap Jump and yell and roll over, and we both fairly howled. Hut It wasn't so funny when the man didn't move after his first startled action ,and Tom looked around at me In a scared kind of way. His surprise found expression In an oath. and he called to the man. There was no answer and he called again, with the same result. Then he crept over to him and gave him a shake. That brought no response either, ard Tom dragged him around so he could See his face. It was ashy blue, with eyes Btar Ing wide open and the man was as dead as Julius Caesar, with never a mark on him, save, perhaps, that one pin scratch In his back. "Tom was a good fellow and a brave soldier, and no doubt would have suf fered lifelong remorse for his unhappy Joke, but he never had a chance to When the next volley came he was on his knees beside his dead companion trying to do something for him, and his head was Just high enough above the log for a shell to clip the whole top of It off." Trapping Mother Birds. Oologlsts frequently have trouble In Identifying the eggs which they find In nests. The Nldologlst tells how to get a nesting bird that Is too Bhy to show Itself for Identification. A. D. Hender son found a number of nests In tho reeds about Little Lake, near Barrle, Ont., but was unable to determine the species, as he could not catoh sight of the parent birds. He took the eggs, trusting to identify them latter. One day he was meditating. He had tried snares, watching and a lot of other ways unsuccessfully. Hanging in his boat house were a lot of muskrat traps, and these gave him an Idea. Ho took several of them, set them In the nests, and on his return next morning found two grebes, and was able to Identify them. One of the grebes had plunged off the nest Into the water, and the weight of the trap pulled It under the water and drowned It. The other one he took out of the trap and threw It Into the air, expecting to see it fly away. But It dropped and went under the water, and, so far as the man could see, did not come up again. That ex plained why the birds were so hard to Bee. New York Sun. Colored Men to the Army. A colored soldier was on guard at the City Point wharf. Presently an officer approached, smoking a cigar. Politely giving the military salute the dusky sentinel saidr "Smoking on his dock is forbidden, Bah!" "Is that the rule," asked the officer? "TTes, sah." "A very good rule," replied Gen. Grant, for It was he, and he Immediately threw his cigar Into the river. The colored man Is noted for his sense of humor, and he Is not without wit. During the war a happy darkey was enjoying himself perched on a hig'h fence when a squad of rebel prisoners passed, and John's former master was among them. "Why, John," exclaimed he In surprise, "are you up there?" "Yes, mastah," said John, "and you'll down dere." Colored preachers were the authors of many funny sayings. One of them was heard earnestly praying, "Lord bress Massa Llnkum, and douse his head wld wisdom." Another thus gave the well-known passage, "Paul may plant and Apo'.los water, but God giv eth the Increase:" "Paul may plant and: polish wld water, but It won't do.'1 A Woman Who liutldi Railroads. Mrs. Alice E. Cram is the newest of Boston's new women. She is a railroad contractor. Nine years ago she started In business with her husband. Her business ability was most marked. She ami her husband contracted for the foundation work of some of the new public buildings In Boston, including the public bridge and tho Albany Kail road, which Is said to be one of the finest pieces of masonry In the country. A year and a half ago Mrs. Cram de cided to set up In business all for her self, and she now has her own offices, with everything under her Bole control. She employs women alone In the olllee, believing she gets better work from them. In addition to her business as a contractor Mrs. Cram conducts a com mission business, b tying and selling the material used In masonry work. Envy Is needless; for he who works, saves, and perseveres will get what he wants. Japan and Its Future. Late intelligence from Japan inili cates a desire on the part of the Gov eminent and the merchants of that country to buy both war vessels and trading vessels in this country if they can he procured on advantageous terms. Nothing in the near future seems more certain than the establish mcnt of larger profitable direct trade between the united States and Japan s they increase the number of their manufactures they must look to thi country as a source of supply for needed raw materials. We may also expect when better facilities of trans portation shall have been made avail able to supply to the Japanese" a part of the manufactured stuffs which they have been accustomed to buy in Europe. The great market for Japanese manufactured products will be found among the swarming millions of Asia Their nearness to Asiatic ports, their knowledge of the peculiar wants of Asiatic consumers and the special treaty advantages obtained as the frui of the late war with China combine to make certain for the people of the Island Empire of the Orient a home trade equal to their utmost capacity of production and secuie from success ful competition. It is not at all likely that Japanese manufacturers will be diverted from their natural markets to engage in competion for posses sion of European or American trade. except in so far as it may be incidental to the exchange of silk, tea, camphor and other special products for needed cotton, lumber, grain and the more advanced manufactures of America and Europe. The enormous amount of wood used every year for the purpose of making paper may be estimated from the fact that the Petit Journal of Pris which has a circulation of over i,ooo, ooo copies a day and is printed on wood pulp paper, consumes in a year 120,000 fir trees of an average height of 66 feet. This is equivalent to the annual thinning of 25,000 acres of forest land. ORPHANS' COURT SALE USTA 7'Ji OF .4 DA M WUITMOYFR, DECD.
