6 THI PARSON'S DAUGHTER. Little foot whose lightest pat Beems to glorify the mat, Waving hair and picture hat, Grace the nymphs have taught hePJ Gown the pink of (it and style, Lips that ravish when they smile— Like a vision, down the aisle Comes the parson's daughter. As she passes, like a dart, To each luckless fellow's heart Leaps a throbbing thrill and smart, "When his eye has sought her; Tries he then his sight to bless With one glimpse of face or tress. Does she know it?—well, I guess! Pretty parson's daughter. Leans she now upon her glove Cheeks whose dimples temptito love, And, with saintly look above. Hears her "pa" exhort her; But, within those upturned eyes, Fair as sunny summer skies, Just a hint of mischief lies— Roguish parson's daughter. From their azure depths askance. When the hymn-book gave the chance, I>ld I get one laughing glance? I was sure I caught her; Are her thoughts so far amiss As to stray, like mine, to bliss? For, last night, I stole a kiss From the parson's daughter. —Joe Lincoln, in L. A. W. Bulletin. FREE-LAJVCEI. By CHAL'NCY C. HOTCHKISS [Copyright, 1897, by D. Appleton & Co. All rights reserved] C HAITER XII.—CONTINUED. I will not go so far as to say how this cer tainly would have ended had tiiej-e been no interference, but the end came vn a man ner totally unionised for. I had worked the fellow backward through the room, hoping to get him where he could retreat no farther, and had forced him well toward the heavy settle whereon still sat the Quaker, when that white-haired patriarch rose with an exclamation, and seizing his staff, stepped behind Lowney and brought the stick down on his bared head, felling him to the floor a senseless carcass. Though the blow was serviceable to me, such an act of war on the part of a Quaker made me turn on my ally and X'egard him with astonishment. " 'Twas a foul thing to take a man from behind when engaged in front, my friend," I broke out, "and, though I give thanks for good intentions, 'twas an unseemly act, anj you belie your cloth!" "Thee has small time to pick fine holes in my service, friend," he answered; hurriedly. "Turn thee to the window and see my mo tive. I wish to make friends with thee, but we must hurry! Look yonder!" I looked as directwl, and to my amaze ment saw a squad of Hritish cavalry about turning into the lane leading to the tavern. There was scant time for me to run for my arms and get to the window, but, as I was about to throw open the casement, the Quaker laid his hand on my arm. "Not that way!"he cried. "It is swamp lund, and thee would be mired in the night. Upstairs—'tis safer for now —leave the rest to me." With mighty nimbleness for so old a man, he drew me toward the kitchen, and, throwing open the door, pointed to a set of boxed-in steps leading above, and then quicldy drew back, closing the door behiiM him. I had but gotten up the short flight when I heard him goto the barroom entrance and shout for help with all the might of his cracked voice. In a moment I heard the clatter of arms as the men entered the low er room, and at the same time the negro came bounding up the stairs behind me. The moonlight through the hall window just showed me his black face as he ran to ward me, and with a will to sell myself at high cost 1 lifted my sword to cut him down when he cried in a horse whisper, and with out the slightest trace of dialect: "Hold up, man! I'm yer friend! This way!" As he spoke he indicated a door the latch of which he lifted, and, throwing it wide, Hpl / " Thee has small time to pick fine holes in my service, friend." placed his finger on his lips as he pointed to a passage with a window at its far end. With the words: "I have no time to explain; lie quiet til) I get back!" he turned and left me, running downstairs as quickly as he had come up. Now from the moment I had crossed swords with Lowney till the present the time had lie«i so short that it was as noth ing. I was not confused as regards losing my head, but mighty strange it seemed that two friends had so suddenly arisen, and this fact was a trifle bewildering. In some blind way the Dove was still a Whig station (un less treachery lay hidden about), though what had become of young King and how I could come by Nick Stryker, were still puz zles. In the face of the action and words of the Quaker, whose blow had saved me from immediate capture, I could but think he was cot what he had seemed to be, even if he was a Qltaker at all. That he was a friend to the cause was plain enough now, though at first, with the feeling that every man's hand was agair.et me, I even thought his sending me above might tie but a trap to take me alive. But thin could not be, for ongoing t.i *he wiivJow J saw tne casement opened on a roof that sloped easily to near the ground— a common arrangement in architecture in those days, and oue that BtUl holds. I had been alone a bare five minutes when through the still night air i heard the sound of voices and the clattering of hoofs from the yard, ami guessed that some of the troopers below had gone in haste to the north, for, my window being on the south side of the house,l saw nothing of them as they passed, All below became silent as the confusion melted in the distance. My nerves were like harp strings as 1 stood and listened, but, as the time went on and nothing occurred, I breathed a trifle easier, and finally gath ered enough confidence to reprime my fire arms. llad it not been for the damp 1 knew was in them, I should have used a pistol on the gambler at the start. For all of an hour I waited in the pas sage, which turned out to be little more than a narrow lumber room, but at last I heard the door below open, and even as I was hop ing for some one to guide me to my next move, the negro was before me. Like a spir it he entered the passage, for no sound of steps had heralded his coming, and the only words he spoke were: "I'ull off yer boots and follow me!" llis own were in his hand, and obeying, I trailed after him in and about two or three rooms ami a hall, coming at last to a (light of steps that led us down and out by a back way. It was something like waking from a night mare to breathe the outer air again and not feel the cramping of close quarters. Motion ing me still to follow, he bent himself like an Indian seeking footprints, and thus we passed beneath the rear bar windows, soon being at a distance from the house and to ward the stream I had noticed. Under some low bushes we stopped long enough to pull on boots, and then onward we went, now bearing toward the east and through a swamp, which would have been fatal to me had I attempted to traverse it alone. Save to caution my going, not a word my guide spoke, nor did I ask a question, only stepping close behind him as he made his way through a blind path he evidently well knew. Presently we came to something like a rod of firm ground slightly overgrown with coarse weeds and low shrubbery. Here my guide halted, and, turning about with a chuckle, said: "Considering they know nothing of yer go ing, ye be safe enough here." "What the devil—" I began, but he in terrupted me. " 'Tis plain enough, my friend. I know ye now, an' thought I did at first. Did ye mark me draw the light from ye at the table and shut the windows?" "How did you know me?" "Are ye not the man who bearded Clin ton? Who would not know ye after the dfcy's rumpus with searchin's an' descrip tions? Are there two o'yer shadow on the island? Is not yer name Thorndyke? 'tis lucky ye fell afoul o' Nick Stryker instead o' others." "By the 'Mighty! Are you Nick Stryker?" 1 asked, a light bursting on me. "Nick Stryker is my name," he answered. "I thought you said Nat Burns was—" "Who ever saw Nat JJurns?" he broke in. "No one. He's always away. Come, now, I've little to tell. What brought ye to the Dove?" "to find one calling himself Rex —" I be gan, but he stopped me by an exclamation. "Ilex! an' ye asked for a man o' the name o' King? 1 know nonesuch, but Hex—why, he it was that laid out the tory and saved yer neck. An' ye knew him not! Well, on my soul, 'tis scarce a wonder!" "Is it possible? No more than a brother unborn would I have known him. Is Low ney dead?" 1 asked. "Ay, he's dead, an' ye ha' the credit o' it. Did ye not hear a party putting after ye to the north? We have no time to palaver. Stay here until I guide the Quaker hither; he's makin' blind fools o' an ofliceran' three men over the body o' the tory, but his risk is great. I tell ye that Hex is sore beset him self, an' 1 would hang higher than Hainan were my position known. Ye each need tho other, for 'tis beyond me now to more than help ye out of the muss ye have just got ten in." "What is the man's real name?" I asked as he turned to leave me. "Ames," was the short answer as he made olf, and in the small light of tho moon that was now close to its setting I marked his figure grow less and less until the shad ows swallowed it. Now 1 saw where I had made a mistake in not closely following directions and asking for "Hex" in the first place. And equally stupid had I been in determining that Nick Stryker was openly known by his name. When 1 inquired for "King," it had never en tered my head that Hex could be aught but the brother of Gertrude, and it now came to ine that mayhap Clinton was inside the truth when he said that youth had perished in the flames. How, then, could the poor girl have fared since she left me? Yet her brother had escaped, according to Mrs. liadely, and 'twas possible the girl had known where to join him. Either Clinton had lied or his mistress had been deceived, and 'twas a fair muddle to clear. Stryker had known me through reputation and de scription, and if my act had become cele brated so might have hers, and 1 determined to ask him if lie knew aught of the girl for whom 1 had now more than a passing inter est. However, the matter was not to be cleared by thinking, and as just now I had need of my brains in my own behalf, I put it aside and came home, as charity should. Where was I to pass the coming night? Where was I to procure bread for the mor row? 1 would not fast again, though it came to entering a house and demanding food at a pistol's point. What was the end of it all to be? liven now 1 was held pris oner by a quaking bog, and had put myself into the power of a mail who, in my mind, was no more a negro than was Hex or Ames an aged Quaker. 'twas foolishly weak in me, but as one hour went far into another and nothing chanced, I took a blue turn, thinking of home and my mother and my sister, and their worry and wonderment at my long ab sence, finally getting myself into a mood that was made up of universal doubts, and, were it not that 1 had a sense of shame left, I fairly think I might have whimpered like a sick child. Indeed, there was nothing in my surround ings to prick my pluck. When the moon set, a darkness almost like that of the night be fore came down on me. The dew was like rain on all about, and not so much as a stone, wet or dry, was there to rest upon. The unusual fast, the lack of sleep, the un ceasing danger and present inactivity made mo look at matters with a jaundiced eye. The night voices of the swamp were well nigh deafening, and I was like to lose my hoad betwixt the vociferous bellowings of the frogs and the strain under which iny nerves had so long been strung, when, as though they had come from below, the fig ures of Ames and Stryker were before me. CHAPTER XIII. A HOUSE OF REFUGE. Like smoke in a gale my vapors vanished with the sound of a human voife. It was Stryker who spoke: CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1899. "Come, now, put yer hands on my shoul ders an' let me have ye out o' this. There be 110 time to lose." "Where do we go?" I asked. "Thee will be guided by me, friend," said the Quaker. "Let us get beyond this quag mire,and 1 will pilot thee. I will now make the rear." So saying, he took me by the flap of my coat, and I, placing my hands on Stryiter's shoulders behind, we three moved off into the bog in an opposite direction from that we had come. The negro must have had the eye of a bat and the nose of a hound to make his way over sjich a ground in such a darkness. There were many turnings in the path, and more than once did 1 see the reflection of the stars in the black water that was almost under foot. More than once was there a loud splash as we disturbed some ancient croaker of the swamp, and now and again a tall cluinp of bushes or a mass of rank August growth came out of the gloom ahead like human figures. I think we must have walked in this close Indian file for some thing over half a mile before the ground be gan to rise and the sod felt firm beneath me; but when it did, Stryke* stopped and turned about. "Now I leave ye," he said. "Ye know yer way onward, Ames, an' ye can he safe till sunrise at least. I charge ye both to keep away from the Dove. 1 can do no more for ye, though much 1 regret it. I must not be suspected, and, were a spy caught in my l*)use, 1 would be undone and my days of usefulness to the cause be over. Tell No. 5 that all is right thus far. I will hear of ye fast enough if ye be taken. God bless ye both for true men! An'now good night. I must hurry back," Without a word being spoken in return, he started 011 a dogtrot in the direction of | 'We three off in the bog." the morass from which we had just escaped As he disappeared, I turned 011 the Quaker with the determination of settling a few small matters, and abruptly asked: "Is that man what he seems—a negro?" "Yea, a- d thee has seen as devoted a pa triot as the colonies know,"he answered. "As for his race, 'tis anomalous. 11 is parents' blood was almost white, but he bred back ward, as men sometimes do, and is blacker than the average negro. And ho has talent for a go-between, lie can mimic so that the evil one might take him for a double. Did he not fool thee? Ah! Nick," he contin ued, apostrophizing the absent man, "an' were it not for thy color thy name would be great in the field, though not so great as is thy big heart!" "Would 1 had known it!" I answered. "I would have atoned for the black thoughts I had of him. And now, friend Ames," 1 con tinued, "I have fancied you other than you are. llad I known what I now* know, 'twould have saved a deal of trouble. But, first, I owe you my life for what you did for me, as, had you not sighted the redcoats and acted, 1 would—" "We're quits, friend, we're quits, did thee but know it," lie interrupted. "Let us not stand here; we have Turtle bay ahead and no bed nearer. The way is long and rough, seeing we are debarred the highway. Thee be well armed; give me a pistol, for as a Quaker 1 have not so much as a bodkin." "lit ing no Quaker, then spare me your thees and thous," said I, thrusting a pistol into his hands. "But 1 am a Quaker, iu truth, friend," he answered. "A Quaker, and fight!" "I am a follower of one Klias Ilicks, who takes a wider path than the orthodox. But the blood is not thick in me, though 1 am of the Quaker stock. I fall into the style when in need of concealment, and carry it out fairly well—eh, friend?" "Faith," said I, "I take it you're on a broader path than Ilicks e'er trod. That blow would have read you out of meeting wi*e you a true broad-brim. And how did you cozen the party at the tavern?" 1 asked, as we stepped out. "By sending most of them to the north after thee," he answered. "To the rest I eutlied the father of lies, iXnd ended by get ting them into a fair sta'te of drunkenness, and after, as an old man,l pleaded fatigue and went to bed. lam in bed now, friend, to them." Though he still clung to the Quaker style of speaking, he had laid aside the voice and actions of the old man he had represented, making a strange combination with his long, white hair, broad-brimmed hat, youthful tones, and sprightly behavior. Through all his words there was an undercurrent of dry humor, which seemed to take 110 account of the deep danger we were in, or the, to me, absolute blankness of the future. Nor was tiiis due to bravado or wonderful courage (though he lacked none of the lat ter), l>ut, as he afterward told me, to the fact that with the failure to get help from Stryker—a help lie had accounted as certain —he had given over hoping, and took a des perately calm view of the next day or two, surely believing that by then all would be over. Yet withal he in no wise abated his vigilance, though he considered the hand of death was near him, and when, finally, there opened up a bare chance for our es cape from the island, he said it was as though he had come back from the grave. Ay, and so did I. It was as though a suf focating hand placed over my mouth had been suddenly withdrawn. On the start lie told me little of himself (though 1 had thought to find him communi cative), and 1 had to drag from him that he had left a brother at Turtle bay, whom he was now journeying to rejoin. The youth was but a year or two younger than himself, and fairly helpless, having been stricken by the Almighty with dumbness from birth, though not with its usual accompanying curse deafness. From helping the great cause in some way both brothers were under a ban, and my companion's life was forfeit if he was taken. Now as black as seemed my chances, I left the weight of the old adage of life and hope being akin, and 1 was by no means over joyed in 1 lowing that we might be handi- capped by a helpless youth should some chance open a way out from the surround ing danger. And this I fraukly told ir.y companion, though to me he made no reply. For the most part he walked a pace or so ahead of rne, and thus we went along, go ing easily enough while crossing open fields, but faring sorely when we struck woodland or plowed ground. Perilously near, too, we went to dwellings, even stopping at a well hard by one 'w; drink, though first making sure there were no dogs about. I never would have dared this had I been alone, but my companion laughed at the risk, and I followed his lead, though it struck me as strange that 1 should let this stripling take the upper ha:<d in our expedition. The truth is, I was fagged and not myself, and though if driven to a corner would have fought like a shrew, I had no head for fine points on that night, and was growing timid. Anon we took to the high road for a space to flank a swamp, and once a dog went wild at the smell of us, but we were unmolested. Not a house showed a light (though that was small wonder, it being past midnight), and now we felt the breath of the damp that rose in the cooling air, and could even mark the pondlike appearance of the mist as it lay in some black hollow of the land. Through brooks, small swamps and pools Ave went, I with heavy boots going dry-shod, though Ames, with but pumps and stockings, was wet to the knees, and I could bear the scrunching of water in his shoes as he walked. But there was little to choose about him after I had pulled him out of a ditch into which he stumbled, though he made a joke of it even while his teeth were chattering from the chill of his sousing. It was fearful going in the dark. The Dove lay five miles from Turtle bay by road, but, with our circling and retracing, we must have gone three or four more. For the most par* we spoke little, and, though much re mained to talk about, I was in 110 spirits to ask questions—or answer them either, for that matter. With nic there was now no thought of what lay behind or before, all that remained of my wits being a stupid, stubborn determination to get on and reach our destination, be it what it might. I take it 'twas past one o'clock, and I had been following my leader in an aimless fash ion for half an hour without a word be tween us when he halted and laid his hand upon me, pointing toward a house with the bulk of a barn looming through the gloom behind it. I seemed to wake then, and no tice the glimmer of water stretching beyond, and knew we were on the bank of the Sound ifi'pr. "Is this the place, then?" I asked, as I tried to make head or tail of the bleak build ing that stood against the faint sky like a black block. lie grunted an assent and climbed a fence, I following tamely behind, but instead of proceeding to the house, we cut around it, and finally entered what might have been a disused cow shed built against the rear of the barn. Going to the end, he laid his ear against the rough boards of the barn and be gan scratching gently. Nothing coming of this, he fumbled about, and presently, to my great astonishment, a broad board came away in his hand, leaving in the barn's side a long, black hole that looked to lead into the bowels of darkness. [TO HE CONTINUED ] HE HAD HIS "DOSE." Short Story of 11 French Soldier** Stolcinm After the llattle of Montinlratl. In February, 1814, the French army made a heroic stand against the allied forces of Europe, and in one week retrieved for a short but glorious period its lost prestige. Though composed largely of half-raw recruits, it escaped from the very centir of a quarter of a million foes, attacked, an army of 70,000 men, won four battles and cap tured OS cannon, live generals and 25,- 000 prisoners. After the terrible fight at Montmi rail, Maj. Bancel, stall surgeon of th». guard, was attending the wounded as well as he could, close behind the col umn still engaged. Looking up from one unfortunate man, whose wounds lie was dressing, he perceived within a sho**t distance an old mounted chas seur of the guard, who was tranquilly ' smoking his pipe and watching the sur geon. Bancel did not at first pay any. atten tion to liyn. By and by he noticed the man again, still in the same posture tranquilly smoking liis pipe. "What are you doing here?" cried the surgeon. "Smoking," answered the man. "Does the major forbid me to smoke?" "What!" returned the officer. "Aren't your as Ha med to be loafing around here while your comrades are covering them selves with glory?" The chasseur blew out a cloud of smoke, and, driving his right spur into his steed, made liim execute a half turn; then lie said, taking his pipe out of his mouth: "Look, major, don't you think I have my dose as it is? Can Ido any thing more?" The major looked. The chasseur's leg was shot off half-way between the kntye and the ankle, so> that his left foot was hanging and dangling against his horse. The veteran's question re quired no answer; but it may be sur mised what care and attention the sur geon lavished 011 the imperturbable chasseur.—Youth's Companion. lUn Superb Cllmnx.

Washington, Dec. 8.- —Brigham 11. Roberts, of Utah, who wos not allowed to be sworn in as a representative in congress of that state, lias issued an address to the American people. It contains much that was said by liim 011 the floor of the house and by Mr. Richardson, who opposed tlio resolu tion of Mr. Tayler, of Ohio. After reviewing the facts and proceedings resulting in the appointment of the committee, lie says: "The member from Utah is not al lowed to take the oath of office, and a committee is appointed to try him as to his alleged guilt of the offenses charged. Nay, even more is granted than was asked, at least more than was asked upon the floor of this house. For a hostile committee has been ap pointed to inquire into the case. Its membership is made up entirely of those who voted to adopt, the method of procedure. Not one who voted against it was allowed a place upon that committee. •'I ask the American people to stop and think what that may mean to this country in times of high political ex citement and party strife and passion. "1 —A formidable minority in th<; house may be reduced either to a very insignificant minority, or even blotted out of existence. "2—The representation to which a state is entitled on tile floor of the house may be denied to it as in this Utah case—for any length of time this committee may elect to deny it such representation. Suppose that in this case the committee shall see proper to proceed with reasonable expedition to consider the questions involved, but what is there to hinder it delaying its action under one pretext or anoth er as long as it pleases. It may take a week, a month, or a year to make its investigations, for it is authorized to send for papers and persons, to ex amine witnesses and is not even in structed to report, at as early a date as possible. It can prolong its inves tigations for two years as well as a monHi, or a year, if it so elects, and meantime deny to a state representa tion. If the present republican house can thus deprive Utah of her represen tation, there is no reason why it could not deny Virginia hers, even though she has ten representatives, for ten representatives as easy as one can be turned away from the bar of the house, and one state as well as anoth er if a bare majority in the house chooses to have it so. And if 'lie present republican house can do thin in the case of Utah or Virginia, there is no reason why the next democratic house could not proceed in like man ner with representatives from repub lican states, under this new rule of procedure. "3 This new precedent also strikes down the constitutional guaranty of ■•«. right to one accused of crime to a speedy and public trial by an impar tial jury in the state wherein the crime shall have been committed.' The proposition is not to deprive me of un seat in congress by the presentation of records of conviction for crime ue fore courts before which I have been found guilty, under the due forms of law. The proposition is to try in>' before the committee of the house, to send for persons, papers anil wit nesses to ascertain my guilt or inno cence of an alleged misdemeanor, "The constitution gives the mem bers of congress immunity from)■:- rest for misdemeanors, except lor breach of the peace, and yet for an al leged misdemeanor for which I could not be arrested while in attendance upon the house, or while going to or from it—l am deprived the right to take the oath of office; my final right to my seat is iu jeopardy; the people of one of the states are denied repre sentation, so long as it shall suit the purpose of the committee to have it so, and the expressed will of the peo ple of a state is in danger of being de feated. "It is true that the representative from I'tah is a Mormon, and ju.-i, now there is against the Mormon neopli* a wave of popular sentiment, created by falsehood, chiefly by the clnrgii that I'tah has broken her compact with the I nited States in the matter of polygamy; that her people contem plate the revival of polygamous mar riages; that the seating of Utah's representative would be regarded by her Mormon population as "in endorse ment of polygamy and would be a menace to the American home. I pon my honor as a representative from Utah I solemnly deny those charges. They are not true. "American citizens, it is a .Mormon who is the object of the popular clamor to-day, may it not be the Caili olic, or the Methodist or the free thinker to-morrow. If the rights of the representative from Utah and of his state cannot be safeguarded by the provisions of the constitution ami the laws, from the frenzy of popular fury, set 011 fire by falsehood and dis tortion. what guaranty have we that any one's rights arc secure?" t an't 111*11 re c hildren.
