The wind blew fuiiously, and the rain fell in torrents, when a traveler, one uiglit in July, was traversing a thickly-wooded portion of the country in Missouri. He had ridden all day, and night overtook him aud found him lost in what appeared an impenetrable forest. The vines and un derbuilt grew so thickly that he was com pelled to halt, and dismounting from his beast, sheltered himself, as best he could, from the storm. His servant, a young man some eighteen years old, accompanied him, and waR very much terrified at the situa tiu in which he found himself, never hav ing been outside the limits of a city until Mr. Randolph had employed him to accom pany him on his journey. Journeys in those days were generally made on horseback or stages, for railroads had not then intersected all parts ot our country as at the present day. "John," said Mr. Randolph, "ire shall have to remain here until daylight; there is no possibility of finding our way in the darkness." "If we are on the right road," replied John, "we must surely be near the cabin we were told about at the blacksmith's shop." "I fear," replied Mr. Randolph, "we have lost the road entirely. In fact I am positive of it. We can do nothing but wait until it becomes light enough for us to re sume our way." While Mr. Randolph was speaking the wind lulled for a few moments, and there came a ciy that caused John Glover to start with terror. Mr. Randolph, who was crouched beneath a tree, started to bis feet and laid his hand on his pistol. Again the cry broke forth, and Mr. Randolph commanded John to soatch in the saddle bag for a box of matches. "It's some wild animal, I suppose," said Glover, his teeth chattering with fright. "No," replied Mr. Randolph, whose practiced ear knew the cries of beasts too well to be deceived, " 'tis a human voice, and the cry is one of distress." In a few moments Mr. Randolph had lighted a pocket-lantern and was peering about him with John Glover cautiously standing in the rear. "Follow me," he said to Glover, and immediately he pushed his way among the bushes, where he lis tened for a repetition of the cry. Once again it came, and it seemed so. near to him that he started backward and stood perplexed. Just then a vivid Hash of light ning lit up the forest, aud he saw some thing white lying upon the ground, about a dozen yards in his front, Mr. Randolph darted forward and seized the object, which proved, to his astonish ment, to be a female child of some eighteen months old, who was badly bitten in the shoulder by some wild animal. He took the little creature to his arms, and carried her back to where the horses were tied. If Mr. Randolph could have seen John Glover's face he would have noticed that it wore a perplexed look ; but it was dark, and he could not observe the expression of his man's countenance. 41 What are you going to do with it?" in quired John. "That thought was crossing my own mind at the moment," replied Mr. Ran dolph. "I can scarcely imagine. First I must try and discover who has lost a child in this part of the jcountry, and by that means endeavor to find the parents of this poor little creature." "And suppose you can't find them ?" sug gested John. "Then I suppose I shall have to adopt her as ray daughter," said Mr. Randolph. "But you are not married," said John Glover. "And never am likely to be," responded Mr. Randolph, upon whose mind came the memory of one he loved who had passed away from earth and left him a lonely man. "We must not anticipate," he continued. "To-morrow may'bring the parents of the child to light." When daylight came Mr. Randolph found that be had wandered a good way off the road, and the sun was well up ere he gained the cabin at the edge of the for est. It was inhabited by au old hunter by WHOM THE TRUTH MAKES FREE, AND ALL PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1875. I . , C C . , , T T . . ; i ne uanie oi oiuoos. lie gave Jir. itan- i J .1 L 1 1 . , ! uuipu n it cany welcome, auu was not long in preparing breakfast. "Well, I never heard of such a thing be fore," said Stubbs, looking at the child with curiosity. "There's noone living with in twenty miles of this place, aad I can't im agine how she came in the woods. Old Bill Smoot's cabin is good twenty miles from here, and Dan Neil is ten miles from him, and that's all the people there are this sifte the State line. Neither Bill or Dan is married, and it's passing strange where that young one came from." "I wish you to take a ride through the forest," said Mr. Randolph to Stubbs. "Take the whole day to search for some person claiming this child. I will remain here until your return," and he placed a piece of gold in the hunter's palm. The sun's rays were slanti::g low among the trees in the west wheu Bill Stubbs re turned to his cabin. "I'm afiaid you'll have to father that young one," he exclaimed, addressidg Mr. Randolph. "I've ridden nearly forty miles to-day, aud can hear nothing of anybody who has lost a child. Perhaps she's been lost purposely." Mr. Randolph looked serious. Such an idea had not before occurred to him, but ftom the moment he heard the words of the old hnnter he mentally vowed that he would adopt the child if ber parents were not discovered. Seventeen years later and Madge Ran dolph, as the foundling was denominated, had become the reigning belle of the town of L . Mr. Randolph had an occasion to make a trip to the Stale of Durango, in Mexico, and for that pnrpo.se joined a party of tra ders who were starting from Independence. All the men were well armed and had much experience in Indian fighting ; so they felt pretty much at ease on that score. After two weeks travel beyond Smoky-' hill Fork they came upon a camp of Sioux Indians who had a white woman in bond age. Several of the traders offered to pur chase her freedom, but she was the wifeof a chief who refused to listen to any pro position involving her leaving him. The poor creature seemed particularly desirous of entering into conversation with her countrymen, but the Indians rudely thrust her back when she implored to be taken back to civilized life. That afternoon the Indians broke up their camp and went away westward. The traders had doubled theit offers to the Indians, but they would not release their captive. The same night when the traders were in camp, they were suddenly aroused by the sound of approaching horse hoofs coming at a rapid gallop. A few minutes later and the woman whose freedom they had been trying to obtain, sprang from a pony, exclaiming, "For heaven's sake, my countrymen, do not give me up. I have escaped, but they will soon be after me." The traders instantly held a council. The savages outnumbered them twenty to one ; there was no hope of making a suc cessful resistance. "Some one must fly with the woman back to Independence and there's not an instant to be lost," criod several voices. "Who'll do it?" asked the leader. No one spoke ; the men all had goods upon the train, and could not desert them. "I have no property at risk," said Mr. Randolph, after a few moments' reflection; "my business is urgent, 'tis tiue, but I'll take her back or perish in the attempt." A few miuutes later, and Randolph and the woman were flying as fast as horses could take them back to Missouri. Just before the break of day Ihe Tndians appeared at the traders' camp and demand ed the woman. They were assured she was not present, neither did they know where she was. It wis not until the sava ges made a 6trict search of the wagons that they were convinced they were on the wrong rail ; but their disappointment was so great that they made an attack upon the traders. A smart fight revealed to them that they would have to obtain reinforce ments if they desired to capture the train, so they withdrew and left the traders in peace. After two days' hard riding, Mr. Ran dolph and the woman reached a post of dragoon soldiers, and were given an es cort, who saw them safely to Fort Lea vent worth. The following is the story the poor woman told Mr. Randolph : "I was born tf respectable parents, my father being a farmer in Western Missouri. I was married at an early age, and, after the birth of a daughter, my husband start ed to go to Independance for the purpose of entering into business, taking the child and myself with him. And after traveling some days we entered a great forest, and, before we were aware of it, we found our selves surrounded by a djzeri Indians, who had crossed the line on a stealing expedi tion. They shot my husband before my eyes, and were going to kill my babe, when I begged for its life. One of the savages, who seemed to have some author-. ity, prevented my child beiog murdered, but refused to let. me have it, aud it was left upon the ground to die, while they harried away, bearing me off a captive. The sufferings I have endured I would not relate if I could. I was often tempted to destroy myself, but the thought of regain ing my freedom, and the hope that my ARE SLATES BESIDE. child might have been providentiallv found. stayed my hand when I would have taken Tw tr ntrn 1 1 f a " a j v w as niv Such, in brief, was the history civen br the woman, whose name was Baker.

She named the year, and stated that it was upon tho ICth of - ' " w uio y ueuig ouuaay. "I shall never forget it while I live," she contiuued. "Life has been a burden to me a : 1 .. - since." Mr. Randolph was satisfied that the mother of his adopted daughter was before him. With some little circumlocution he gave an account of bis adventure in the forest, and stated the manner in which the infant be found was dressed Whan tl.o woman houwl ti,; . 1 1 . w uubo ouv uiicw uerseu at iiir.

How the Sun Moved a Bkidgk. Dur ing the recent building of a bridge in Hol land one of the traverses, 4C0 feet long, was misplaced on tho supports. It was an inch out of line, and the problem was how to replace it. Experiments proved that the iron work expanded a small fraction of an inch to every degree of heat received. It was noticed that the night and day tem peraturo'diffeied by about 23 .decrees, and it was thought this might be made to move the bridge. In the morning one end ofthe piece was bolted down securely and the other end left free. In the heat of the sun the iron expanded, and towards night the free end was loosened. The contraction then dragged the whole mass the other way. for two days this experiment was repeated, and the desired place reached. The contraction and expansion of iron bars hy fire heat has frequently been vised to move heavy weights over short distances. Broken walls and strained roofs and arch es have been brought into place by simply heating iron rods till they expand, then taking in the slack by screws and nuts and allowing contraction by cold to pull the wall or roof into place. An "Injun" Yarn. The following thrilling story comes from Georgia, and is told by the Atlanta Constitution : When Mrs. B. went home from shopping yesterday sheentered upon a scene of tin ill" ing horror being enacted iu the back yard. In the centre of the yard a dry gotKls box was in flames, and the baby was lyimr 111 front of it squealing lustily from heal and fright. Down behind the current bushes were two ofthe neighboring boys, skulking around with painted faces, cliicken feathers in their hair, and bows in their hands. while her hopeful son had on his father's moccasin slippers, his cap turned wrong side out upon his head, and an old army gun in his hand. He was creeping along with evident murderous intent to ward the roosters behind the bushes. "What on earth is the matter ?" cried the alarmed lady. "Sh ! sh !" said her hopeful, "don't you see them Injuns has burned down llaw kin's cabin and nearly killed his baby, burned up the family, and I'm the Lean Worlf going t bring down vengince on the sculps of the varmints J" But in about fifeen seconds after he went down to the wood pile, wishing he was the fat womau in the museum or the big medi cine man of the Pawnees.

This prisoner, just brought upon deck, and the irons taken from his wrists, looked nearly as pale and deathly as the young yeoman from the depths of tho frigate. Though he betrayed his feelings in no other manner, he carried his head erect, Lit, step was firm, and his well opened eyes were fixed upon the gratings the worming, the sheathed cat-o-nine-tails, and all the pre parations for torture, without quailing, ir not with calm indifference. He was a tall fine looking man, between thirty and forty years of age, who, it was easy to perceive, only required that the rust and tarpaulin gear of a seaman should be removed from his person, to enable him to compete, in outward appearance, with any officer on board the ship. But all that availed him nothing. While under tho influence of auguadente the li quor of the country he had met the com modore 011 Uie beach, near Calao, and he had said some things which gave great of fense to that gentleman. He was ordered on board immediately, and he came off to tbe ship in the same boat with the commodore. When they got on board the crew were electrified by the vio lent manner of the commodore, calling for the master-at-arms, aud ordering that Lewis should be put in double irons r.itd confined iu the brig. The offender, who was by this time partly sobered, took off bis hat and tried to apologize; but the commodore would hear nothing. Waiving him aside, the latter cried in the most wrat hful tones : "Get out of my sight, you scoundrel ; I'll have you tried by a court martial 1" Every one present knew what that meant. Trial by court-martial meant conviction and terrible punishment. No common saiior ever passed through the ordeal of a court-martial unscathed. The trial was a mere form; it meant that tho commodore intended to punish Lewis for insulting him, and Lewis knew that perfectly well. Still every sailor about to be tried made bis defense. He employed somebody to write it for him, and that defense was al ways ready at the trial. On the present occasion, writing a defense was somewhat delicate, if not a perilous matter. For the commodore himself was the aggrieved par ty, and the commodore was no lawyer. Vested with absolute authority in the squadron, he was not prepared to recog nize the fact that the n ai who had insult ed him was entitled to as impartial atrial as if he had only insulted or otherwise in jured the black cook. It so happened also that the young sea man whom Lewis engaged to write his de fense had fallen under the eye of the Uni ted States Consul at Valparaiso ; and when LI v. nv I 1 rvt. j blllll bllC ! consul had warned the commodore that 1 he i 1 . - r r 1 1 . 1 he entered the service at that port the en nam ui me biiiii iiuiu vtniuii me vouhit 1 , 1 , , , , . man nau oeeu tiisciiaigeo naa strongly suspected him of mutinous designs. "Im not afraid that he'll create a mutiny in my ship," replied the commodore. With such a prestige as this the young writer of defenses bad come on board our frigate. Such as it was Lewis' defense was read at the time. It took the. ground that, at the time the offense was given, Lewis was ashore on liberty, and that during the 1 .. forty-eight hours accorded him he did not than t,,e President of Peru himself. If, therefore, Lewis insulted the commodore during those forty-tight hours, it was not as one of the crew of the frigate, but as a nrivatc citizen of Callao. I Wl.-t !.....

Therefore, the de fense went on to say, the offense of which Lewis had been gnilty was precisely the same as if he had insulted one of his shi mates on shore, common sailor like himself.

Not only the crew looked in each other' fCSj junior officers gave a start of surprise. The Doctor looked mcanintrl v at the surgeon. It was evident that he thought their services might be required before this terrible inflict iou was completed. The commodore spoke: "Befoi the boatswain' senates commence their duty," said he, "I wish to say a woul to those who write defenses for men on trial. Iu future, they will be held accountable for the senti ments they express in making up those defenses. Let this be a warning to them." By this time Barrett, the chief boat swaiu's mate, had drawn his scourge from his sheath, and was engaged in disentang ling its tail. Every eye was fixed 01; 'lie Sfiiooth white back of the prisoner, so soou to be one mass of mangled, bleeding flesl:. "Go on, boatswain's mate !" said ILa captain. Barret drew back his scourge and was about to strike the first blow when the captain, glancing toward the gangway, ou the other side of the rugate, motioned to the petty officer, and he dropped his arm, looking surprised at the uuwouted inter ruption. A midshipman stepped across the deck, and the crew then rceived the cause of this stay iu the proceedings. A cholar of ordinary appearance had come alongside in his canoe and mounted the deck. As it was ccntimv i 1 - " j w auk i , administer punishment in the presence of j outsiders, the midshipman, in no pleasant tone, oidered the intruder to make himself scarce. For answer the cholar fumbled in the folds of his dress, and soon drew out a Set ter which he handed to the midshipman. The latter looked at the back ofthe Utter, and saw that it was directed to the com modore. It was, of course, given to him at once. The comm:dore broke the seal rather impatiently, and commenced reading. He had not read far before he looked up at the prisoner. He read on. He started visibly, and his features betrayed the utmost as tonishment. Every one looked at the commodoic, wondering at his agitation, and trying to surmise what that lcl tor contained that the commodore appeared ko deeply interested in it. Having finished i ending the letter, the commodore said soinctiiing to the captain, who gave a start of surprise, and ordered Lewis to be released immediately. As soon as Lewis had put on his shirt and jacket, the captain took him into the cabin, the commodore soon following after. Of course the officers left uiou deck were bursting with curiosity, and they were ob served to talk earnestly among themselves. After wailing an hour for further developments, the crew saw somebody emerge from the cabin in the dress of a gentleman and as he passed over the side with the captain and took his place in the gig with the latter, it was thought that his features very neatly resembled those of tho culprit so recently stittchid out at tho gangway with a fair prorated of being cut nearly in two by the cat-o'-nine-tails. But secrets come out at last on board ship. The letter so opportunely received by the commoduie was from a distinguished law yer in London, n rming tho recipient that George Lewis was hen to the title and estates of an English lord his elder broth er having cicd recently and that he was legally entitled toau income or 10,000 per annum. But here arose a question with the cH, alious commodore or the U. S. squadr. .. If he had been insulted by a gentleman r stead of a common sailor, and, there' could not administer corporal puuishmc: :, was it not necessary to the preservation oi his honor to seek satisfaction iu some other way according to the code, in Tact. This subject was discussed very earnest ly by the principal officers of the frigate. and it might have led to something serious , o n -..... bad not the young fellow who w rote Lewtb's defense written out his opinion on the subject and sent it to the fiit lieutenant, who showed it to the commodore himself. He took the ground that as Lewis was a common sailor, subject to maili.il law, aud was uuder tho orders of the ctimuNloie, when the offense was given, it was only an insult fiom a common sailor, aud such it would still have been though the sailer were the Prince of Wales himself.
